      Life is unfair. Sometimes even going so far as to thrust upon the young the weight of responsibility. Though, being grown up is no cake-walk either.

    You have an interesting idea, and the writing is there, but you need to have someone look over your work before you post.

    There's a number of jarring errors in the  work, which is a shame, because conceptually it's an interesting story.

    Nice work with the new editor. The story is way cleaner, and outside of a few present/past tense errors it's coming along nicely.

    Bumping up my star rating for one. Two, I'm kinda hoping Diamond does come back and mess everything up, seeing how change is interesting, and it'd be nice to see Spoon have to decide what would make her happy on her own.

    I have to give you props for writing Silver Spoon in a manner that allows her to be fleshed out as something more than a mere bully and tag-along to Diamond Tiara. Though I have my worries for how Tiara's visit will go... I also have a sense of lament for Tiara, it would appear that her feelings for Silver Spoon border on obsession and I can't imagine that it will go well for her to see Silver Spoon doing so well with the other CMC's, though I'm probably reading to deeply into that snippet from the last chapter.

    Great Chapter Holly, great chapter indeed. She really is one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders now. You really are showing why this is a Slice-of-Life type of story, pace maybe slow but you are allowing us to see Silver's growth as a character and why Diamond Tiara will never be able to split her up from her friends. 'Cause friends are forever... FOREVERRRRRR:pinkiesmile:

    Now, as an editor I couldnt help but notice a grammatical error,

    More awesomeness here in chapter five, and more edits

    "Silver Spoon groaned as the setting evening suns gentle orange rays" suns needs an apostrophe

    "The dolls gray cloth and realistic silver mane" same edit is needed on dolls.

    Also, though diamond tiara is still a prissy little asshole, the fact that she has a replica of her friend made me daww so hard.
