Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon poke fun at Apple Bloom simply because she does not have her cutie mark. When an arts and crafts fair is preparing to set up in Ponyville, Applejack encourages her little sister to at least participate, but she soon succumbs to her own self-depression. Discouraged, confused, and upset from all the building up of verbal abuse, Apple Bloom one day disappears from Ponyville without a trace and it isn't long before Applejack is driven into mental insanity worrying about her. Silver Spoon betrays Diamond Tiara by confessing to Applejack the most likely cause of Apple Bloom's disappearance and quite possibly her true reason for wanting her cutie mark. And once Princess Celestia learns of Apple Bloom's problem, she decides to pay a visit to Ponyville herself to announce a very important lesson about bullying. Will Diamond Tiara finally realize the error of her ways? Or has her heart been permanently hardened by her own twisted misdeeds?
Also, we have a very special guest appearance somewhere in this story. Think you can find out who?

Haven't read it yet but I'll go ahead and favorite it. I'll read it in the morning and leave a comment!
Well this is... depressing.
1497282 Did you read all of it?
Filly/Fillies = Young female ponies.
Colt/Colts = Young male ponies.
Braeburn is male, so he would have been a colt when he was younger.
Other than that, good story so far.
1497491 Oops. I'll get to fixing that.
Fluttershy leaves to feed Angel, but then returns from an aerial search.
Which is it?
1497524 How long does it take to feed Angel? Read the chapter more carefully because it says Fluttershy returns at sundown, which is later.

*finishes story*
As a victim of bullying and depression, this one really hit home. It's a much more serious problem than people realize.
Excellent work. Have a static.fimfiction.net/images/icons/thumb_up.png

1497876 Thank you, my friend! Black Kyurem must admit he too partially suffered from the same thing, but also became a heavy victim of cyberbullying.
Hmm... interesting. I'll read this when I get home from school.
But consider this story to be faved by a fellow author, amigo!
1497905 Yes, Black Kyurem will consider it favorited.
1497479 I read it all and it brought me to tears.
I can relate to bulling myself and almost met a simmilar fate if it wern't for my friends and family.
This was a work of art, and deserves much praise.
Ok I like this story a lot. What makes it good is that anyone can relate to it. Bullying is a problem and this story does a good job explaining the dangers of bullying but it also shows that there are people there to help and that nobody is alone.
I have to say that this was a very heartfelt story you made. It really hits the point of bullying home.
I was bullied terribly in elementary and middle school, and let me tell you no one should be subjected to that. Hopefully this story can be used as an inspirtion for those who have been or are being bullied.
On a happier note, my sir, this is one of the best fanfictions I have ever read on the internet! You got all the emotions right, the dialogue was wonderful, and, like I said before, was really sad.
Being a bully victim when I was in school, you perfectly captured the pain and tormention I had to go through. Sometimes, I'd even thought about running away or.....suicide. But since then, I've learned to stand up for myself. And sir, you're story was right on with the effects of bullying.
If you wanted my personal rating, here it is: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 out of 10.
Awesome job!
EDIT: Also, love the Save Derpy scene!
1503035 And Black Kyurem thanks you! Hmm, "Scootaloo's Mistake" more sad than "My Little Dashie"... Black Kyurem must check this out sometime...
If you really want a hit on your emotions, look up the immortal game. It is DARK MAN, but also a great story, one of the best I've read on the site. Now back to the fic at hand, I might have kept Diamond Tiara unrepentive myself, but thats just me. You did a nice job and there were some hard moments in here....poor AJ
1503831 You know, Black Kyurem did think about keeping Diamond Tiara's heart stiffened, but if Black Kyurem did that, he would have her be sent away to a private school in Fillydelphia for real. Perhaps if Diamond Tiara is truly an unrelenting bully, unable to learn from mistakes, then that can't be changed. But make no mistake my friend, this was a truly hard decision for Black Kyurem to make.
it wasn't as sad as i was expecting. Not saying it was bad, though.
1508420 Every user's opinion is different and every person in this world is different.
Unfortunately, when you make enemies, people remember that. They don't always care if you're just a stupid kid who doesn't know better.
What this story gives us that is special is that it shows the characters as real with real feelings. Diamond Tiara isn't a parody but a spiteful, bigoted little girl of the sort that (unfortunately) does exist. Applejack is a very real, terrified elder sister and the like. That's what makes this a great bit of writing.
1527803 Both your comments are quite true. And isn't bigoted the one reason why Cera was a questionable character in The Land Before Time? Thank God she changed, though.

That was a good story man
Liked and faved, because this great, manly-tear inducing story doesn't have enough of either.
1539980 Well, considering what it touches upon, it does deserve a lot more credit where credit is due, yes.
bah! why do you always pick the sappy 'make friends with the bully' junk?
that aint how <yay> works!
1577124 Sappy, huh? Well, is this 'Friendship is Magic' or not? You tell Black Kyurem.
1577798
the rest is pretty good, its just nobody or nopody that evil suddenly turns over a new leaf and instanly becomes good.
plus theirs a whole bunch of these that popped up for some reason.
also whos Black Kyuer... whatever?
1580564 Diamond Tiara may be evil, but she at least has a heart... or maybe she doesn't, Black Kyurem could be mistaken. You know, if such characters are black and white, that sort of thing could potentially ruin the series itself, could it not? This is why Black Kyurem created fanfics. Black Kyurem is taking out his disappointment in the series by writing stuff that should be exemplified. In other words, series bad.
Black Kyurem is a Pokemon from Black 2/White 2, a fusion created between two Pokemon, Kyurem and Zekrom. Black Kyurem will be receiving Black 2 as a Christmas gift and he likes the color black, so Black Kyurem picked such a user name.
D'aaaaaaw
"Now that was pretty cute i reckon i would go a bit loopy if mah sister went missin i thank ya kindly for takin the time ta write this here story for mah family well i gotta go fer now hope ta see more but i gotta get back and help Macintosh with the orchard i will cya round sugercube."
1614115 Thanks, Applejack! You may have screwed up a couple of times in the real series, but you're still Black Kyurem's favorite pony.
To be honest there is only thing I find wrong with this story, the idea that Ponyville wouldn't help look for Apple Bloom, something about that rubs me the wrong way and seeming violates one of the big things in herds and social animals, you always protect the young.
Other than that this is a very sad yet sweet story with a heart warming message that all should take to heart.
1616780 Blame the not helping on Diamond Tiara and her evil antics in "Ponyville Confidential". Black Kyurem made the mane six quite aware of Ponyville being stubborn and he intentionally put it in there as a result of taking out his disappointment on the episode.
1616780 Oh, and thanks.
1618332
I noticed but it still bugs me.
And you're welcome
How do I read these with the pictures on youtube?
1715879 What do you mean?
What I had in mind is how do I post these on youtube?
1724915 You want to post Black Kyurem's story on YouTube?! Well, Black Kyurem isn't sure to be honest. Posting a fanfiction story on YouTube would take quite a bit of effort with the narratives and pictures and all that. You might wanna use your imagination, as Black Kyurem really doesn't know much about this. Maybe some other user does. Good luck!
Wow, I've read the whole thing. I remembered when I was being teased, they call me names because I was different and have aspergers, so did my boyfriend.
1749046 You are so brave to say that publicly. Kudos to you! You must trust this community.
I just wanna kill Diamond Tiara, when is she ever gonna stop being a fucking asshole?!
1827950 Unfortunately, probably never.
