I have a rocket pack strapped to my barrel and a sword gripped tightly in my jaw. This is entirely practical and can only end well.

After accidentally letting it slip to Twist that Diamond Tiara has been disingenuous about her special talent with her classmates, Silver Spoon takes it upon herself to bring the candymaker in on what had previously been the notorious duo's biggest secret.

... but seriously, yes, go on. :)

I bet 50 bits that she's a blank flank.

I'll bet fifty that it's for looking pretty to disguise being completely useless.

Nice story. Upvote. :raritywink:

I wonder if your idea is anything around mine. I wrote a story, which explained Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's cutie marks (here: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/55222/Cutie-Mark-Avoidance-Team )

Good story! But use three instead of 3, the numerals usually interrupt the flow of the story and just generally are a pet peeve for most people.

GOD DAMM CLIFHANGER!

otherwise good story, keep it up!

Ahah! I knew it!

She's the lovechild of Filthy Rich and Pinklestia: A clone created in secret by a shady cabal of businessponies and nobles, using equal parts Celestia's genetic material and candy floss!

what a :twistnerd:
anyway you have me intrigued :D

My guess? Her talent is making other people look good...and she hates that.

Well, she's got a tiara cutie mark, doesn't she? That's something like a crown.

And she's pink. Come on, it's abvious.

Show us Diamond Tiara's real birth certificate, Filthy Rich! You can't hide the truth anymore!!!

1470367pink could also mean Pinkie smartass and that would be way more obvious then a dental floss princess

/Gasp
You mean... She's Pinkie's kid? The product of a forbidden affair beween the wealthy and well-respected Filthy Rich with a lowly baker's apprentice, whom, on top of everything, ponies generally consider to be a few apples short of a bushel?

That could be it! Pinkie said she came from a rock farm! Rocks are close to gems! And gems can be set in tiaras! It's all connected!

1470494 EXACTLY!!!
the prophecy is all coming together!
muahahahahaahahahaha!!!!!

Like any daughter of Pinkie Pie or any *lestia would have a problem with to much sugar.
No, she's obviously Cadance beloved, but evil twin sister! From the future!

We all know what it is. DT thinks her talent is simply wearing a tiara.

1477529

She can sxhake her head without dropping the tiara. That's kinda impressive, innit? :rainbowlaugh:

Haha, Silver Spoon wearing a spoon in her mane. Brilliant. :pinkiehappy:
I'm not sure how I feel about "Bon Bon the comedian" and curse you! Curse you for that cliffhanger. Again!

Hah. So I'm not the only one who perceives Diamond's cutie mark as a talent in being a beauty queen.

Well, nice story. I think it's been overlooked, really. :unsuresweetie:

Bonbon the voice-acting comedian :pinkiehappy:

Right, chapter 3.

Only took me a month.

I would just like to say that this one was by far the most difficult to write, mainly because this is the point where I actually started having to head the story towards goals instead of being able to just throw cute into two chapters whose entire narrative existed as a framing device for backstory and setting up the sleepover.

Also, big thanks to Sparky Luck for prereading and editing the bajezzus out of this mess so that it could reach the almost passable form you see here.

Haha, you don't mess with party cannons, they are serious business! :pinkiegasp:
I like your Diamond Tiara - Silver Spoon dynamic, they play of each other quite well.
In regards to "One bad apple":
Will Twist join the "Sugar lump rump"-routine and the dark side?
Or will she mediate DT and SS towards being nicer?
Or will they try to play the thing down? If so: Good luck with that in a town with Cutie Mark Crusaders Private Investigators! :scootangel:

I can't say that episode had been out very long (one day) when I was finishing this up, so any allusions to it are going to need to be retconned in. On the other hand, I liked Diamond being terrified of her mother, it links up nicely.

I'm confused about the ending. What just happened?

*Warning: kinda spoilers because the signs are (or should be) there.

Silver Spoon is first in line to inherit control of the Silver Family and it's fortunes, so any relationships she forms are treated by the Silvers as potential interests or mergers.

Mainly because they don't really know any other way of relating to ponies. Social grace having never been their strong suit.

Celestia's holy WHAT:rainbowderp:

I think I've discovered a fondness for Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara... One thing I would recommend, though, is getting some help with punctuation when it comes to dialogue. You've got several errors related to that in there. Send me a pm if you want my help.

Besides that, this is very intriguing and I'm loving the dynamic between SS and DT!

Bonbon the stand up comedian... Yeah, I see it! Head canon is now officially formed. Ah, another thing you may wanna work on is capitalization. All proper nouns (official names for people, places, and things) should be capitalized! Anyway, I'm getting rather curious as to what the big secret is all about... DT's cutie mark does seem pretty straightforward at the moment.

P-poor Diamond. That's gotta be rough for any young child to deal with... And Silver Spoon, too! I like how you have that they both reacted to the expectations heaped on them in different ways. They're not really alike at all, but still very good friends. I love it!

>.> So whats with the sex tag?

1822295

I originally put it there under 'teen - sex' because there is some allusions to it coming up.

Of course, with the site change it's just been made a blanket term, so I should probably just drop the tag.

So why was desert completely off the menu? -- dessert

I can't believe I missed that *headdesk*

It's always the little details the author includes for the reader to find that I enjoy seeing, especially when they're clever. I like how you never capitalize Snails's name, denoting his unimportance to the titular characters who are referring to him. I may not like twist, but I like this story. I can really taste the lemon you added to the DT+SS salad, and it really gives it a nice aftertaste.

I'm liking this so far. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Silver: "You always were a mean drunk, DT."
Diamond: "Yyy yyu chut yur buckin mouth Shilver.. be.. befru.. b'for I show you how (hic) earth pony.. bends a Spoon!"
Twist: "wow Thilver.. juth what do you put in that lemonade anyway?":twistnerd:

HA HA HA I love that last part! Silver Spoon face planting in her salad bowl!:rainbowlaugh:

and I love your Silver Spoon. Until she mentioned makeovers I practically forgot this wasn't a future mare version of Silver. she is so polite, intelligent, and mature for her age.

I love her naturally business savvy nature, and her staunch hard work ethic. She doesn't seem that spoiled for a filly of class and style, born to a wealthy family. her father did a good job instilling in her responsibility and pride for an honest bi$ earned. Even if he did kina rob her of her foal hood in the process:facehoof: but she seems happy with her life and that makes me happy as a Silver Spoon fanatic.:pinkiecrazy:

I love your Diamond to. She's a little spoiled but sweet. I love how she lost her temper and quickly apologized to Twist. I think there is hope for her yet. It was hilarious her sugar induced hang over in the beginning.

I think Twist will make a good replacement for Babsy and a good friend for both lonely fillies. Hopefully they can make peace and even a joint friendship with the CMC. Twist can help remind both of them that they are not yet mares and should have fun just like working class foals.:twistnerd:

I don't like any of these three fillies, yet here I am about to click the 'favourite' button.
But if in a couple months (give or take) I move to cull my list and this hasn't updated, I doubt it will remain there.

I understand that many don't like DT and SP but I never understood the Twist hate. She's adorable and I love our little bullies. I'm always looking for a good fic about them and this one so far hasn't disappointed. After the gabby gums episode it mad me see how much a leader DT is and if she didn't let the power corrupt her she could've done great things. I can't wait till the next chapter.

This is a good story... Will there be anymore?

...toward one of the Large doors leading...

A wild uppercase draws near! Command? :trixieshiftright:
