Just a regular,pony obsessed normie that makes comics, trying to make pretty words too.

Set some time after the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", a disaster at a class field trip provides a unique opportunity for Diamond Tiara and Scootaloo to become genuine friends. A chance for the former bully and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to reconnect on good terms is finally within reach. However Scootaloo finds that being friends with even a reformed Diamond Tiara is just too much for her. In true Crusader fashion, Scootaloo and her friends resort to a convoluted scheme to save face.

Didn't this story used to have more chapters?

This is my first story on Fim Fiction and my first time posting it anywhere. You may have this story mistaken for another one.

Sorry for the extended hiatus, busy with the holidays and editing was slow going. I have the entire story written out just getting it polished is a process.

just wait until you notice the colts slack jaw stareing scootaloo xD

and the realization comes ? ^^
short and nice chapter

pf lol i rarely see someone address pinki's eating habbit's in that way xD

yes she must be quite the fatso someday she will end up like that pony from canterlot...

Scootaloo’s heart tumbled into her gut at the revelation.

Scootaloo's internal monolog:

“They had a frozen grape…, mixed in with chickpeas… served on a cucumber slice…”, a gruff Scootaloo managed to mutter.

Those fillies have been listening to that awful Zesty Gourmand again, haven't they?

“ And the worst part about it all…” she said with a slow turn of her head to friends, “ ...they love Feather Bangs…”

Sweetie Belle paused to prevent herself from fainting “... Is just rotten! He asked if I could pose as his niece so could help show the mares his nurturing side!”

In fairness, who wouldn't want to dote on Sweetie Belle?:rainbowderp:

We all met him at the same time in Starlight’s village. He tried to pay me a bit to go up and ask a stranger if she’d go on a date with him,

Okay that's just sad.:ajsleepy:

All she’d have to do is swat it out my hooves and ‘save my life’”.

She's going to fall back on her status as Scootaloo's friend to take control of her life in order to protect her isn't she?:ajsmug:

“Well I won’t blame Diamond Tiara for thinking this here sandwich will be the end of ya.” muttered Apple Bloom.

Pfft!:rainbowlaugh:

she had Randolph secure the poached quail eggs wrapped in wet seaweed. Ponyville depot would not have such faire, lucky for her friends, Diamond Tiara came prepared.

Sounds tasty.:rainbowlaugh:

Doubts were swirling in her head, ‘Am I making too big a deal of one bad afternoon with Diamond Tiara?’ .

‘Where is that snack cart when you need it?’ screamed Scootaloo inside her own head.

This is a great joke, but the paragraphs in between could stand to be broken down a little more.:coolphoto:

“Congestion into Canterlot due to the concert, Miss Tiara”, explained Randolph upon his return with a courteous bow “It is long enough to impact our schedule, I fear.”

Diamond Tiara’s face lit up and Scootaloo had a sudden sinking feeling.

Wait is she excited because she can talk shop now, or is she excited for traffic? I'm so confused.:applejackconfused:

‘Just a few more hours,' she thought ‘First thing when we get to Canterlot I’m getting that sandwich out of my bag.’

Yes Scootaloo. The ideal time and place to have a ready made breakfast is shortly after you make it.:facehoof:

The cab was tight fit for the fillies and their party dresses, but Scootaloo was as deft with hiding sandwiches in her garments as she was on scooter.

That's a... oddly specific skill for a pony to have.:rainbowderp:Maybe Scootaloo does need help with her dieting.:unsuresweetie:

Wild Stallion ,Thank you so much for your feed back and reading, I hope my writing is enjoyable.

I tried adjusting the paragraphs and updated the line to avoid confusion with Diamond Tiara's intent when she learns the train is delayed. Let me know if anything can be improved further.

Diamond Tiara’s face lit up, her superior problem solving skills engaged. Scootaloo had a sudden sinking feeling and before she knew it, there were no more camera perfect views of Canterlot.

Screaming through a microphone a mint green pegasus blurted out a barely discernible, anti- establishment ballad.

Wonder what form that would take in Equestria? Trite comments about Celestia's age and weight probably.

the punkish assortment of a rock band called ‘Lock, Stalk, and Barrel’,

Any relationship to these guys?

"Kidnap Princess Celestia! Throw her in a barrel! Careful how you lift her up, mare's built like a whale!"

The singer managed a clumsy exit with a single feather extended on each wing toward the crowd, a gesture that Rainbow Dash cautioned Scootaloo never to repeat.

Might want to change the tense from past to present here.

‘Pinkie Pie’? though Scootaloo.

Figures she'd be involved in this. Ponkers is always up for a crazy night.:pinkiecrazy:

She caught a stray cheese puff and judging by its fragrance Pinkie had a little too much cider this evening.

I wonder why?:trixieshiftright:

‘Poor Scootaloo, she is having a rough night’ , she thought in between excited chatter with Silver Spoon over meeting Feather Bangs.

‘Was she shy around crowds?’ she wondered.

Diamond Tiara was beginning to think that Scootaloo didn’t know how to dance. She was like a statue throughout all those amazing songs.

Poor Sweet DT. She's trying so hard to be a good friend, but she's so massively out of her depth.:fluttershbad:

“Sven Gallop, Feather Bang’s official manager, a pleasure to meet you all” he replied more out of protocol than politeness, “He is ready.”

Sven! Good to see you! How have you been? Nice to see your special effects game is still on point! Are you still a jerk?:unsuresweetie:

The moment had arrived.

Come on Scootaloo! You can tough it out another day! I believe in you!:fluttershyouch:

Shameless OC reference from an "Roleplaying is Magic" RP we did back in 2017, I still make comics featuring these characters this were it all began

I changed a tiny change. "the singer made a clumsy exit..."

Thank you for the feedback, feel free to provide more!

“and please refrain from using college level vocabulary, do I make myself clear?”

Too perfect.:twilightsmile:

Now count the number of times Diamond breaks that rule right in front of him.:ajsmug:

“Hey, Hey girls what’s shaking? I’m sure you all like my music, I write It myself” another mane flick “ And I only need one draft, too many good ideas in this head” he finished with another mane flick.

"See this music? I made it up myself." :rainbowwild:

’What would I do without you?’ thought Diamond Tiara with a smile, no pony could ask for a more loyal friend.

Daww!:pinkiesad2:

Diamond Tiara was almost sure they were doing something wrong here, this was not the conversation she had envisioned. Nonetheless she pressed on.

Stop it! Your breaking this filly's heart!:raritycry:

“ Mr Featherbangs, I’m aware of your tour schedule, you bypass Ponyville and would be missing out on a lucrative opportunity. You have the highest record sales in Ponyville and the surrounding townships. The Silver and Rich families will be more than able to accommodate your venue needs and we can easily get the assistance of Princess Twilight Sparkle.”

If anything of that is remotely true, it sounds like a pretty good sell. I'd consider it.:trixieshiftright:

Plus she's trying to bring her favorite music to Ponyvile so others can hear it.:raritystarry:

What a sweetie!:rainbowkiss:

“Ah! Don’t tell me… I know you from somewhere, you have an older sister don’t you?”

Pfft!:rainbowlaugh:

But nothing in his career had prepared him for a filly threatening to consume a sandwich as big as her own head.

This image is hilariously adorable. Hidorable. :pinkiehappy:

“Why are you doing this Scootaloo?’ Sobbed Diamond Tiara, it was rare for her to cry.

Aww! I feel bad for Diamond Tiara now.:fluttershysad:

“Wait…wait a minute, don’t cry little fillies”, he said with a little giggle “and don’t go just yet...is that a pasta and potato sandwich on sourdough? “

Wouldn't that be ironic if Scootaloo having his favorite sandwich somehow saved Diamond Tiara's meeting?:unsuresweetie:

Probably not going to happen. A guy can dream though.

“Um Miss, put down the sandwich you’ll …spoil your dinner…?” managed Solar Shields trying his best to deescalate the situation.

So many great lines! I can't decide between them!:pinkiecrazy:

“Why are you doing this Scootaloo?’ Sobbed Diamond Tiara, it was rare for her to cry.

Daww! Poor Diamond Tiara!:fluttershbad:

‘It can’t be... how can this monster, love the same things I do?’, she screamed inside

Because he's a pony too Scootaloo. He's a pony too.:ajsleepy:

“Come on girl… I know you need help eat’n that thing! I bet you don’t even like crusts!`` yelled Feather Bang as hurried behind and ran out the door.

Pfft! Yeah, they're totally going to be friends after this.:yay:

‘The Peacock’s in flight’!

Yep that sounds like a accurate description of this scenario.:rainbowderp:

Aww gez Feather Bangs isn't a captive is he?:pinkiegasp:

You know, aside from not being allowed to eat his preferred food in public.:applejackconfused:

did not see that comeing xD

cue the chase musik

Thank you so much for reading you guys!

nothing like a little freak adventure to bond right

Why isn't Silver Spoon not mentioned in the synopsis?

It was a cute story. Glad you managed to finish it.
