After finishing the epilogue, I noticed how the events in the background of Clean Slate could be used in a different, darker story.
Before the story starts, Filthy Rich is trying to get approval for a new store in Fillydelphia, and an emergency comes up, requiring his immediate involvement. With no time to make other arrangements, he arranges to take his daughter, and they go by the fastest means possible, a carriage. But the carriage crashes, killing him and almost killing Diamond Tiara.
In this alternate story, Diamond Tiara is not with him. Orphaned, the self-centeredness she began to feel after her mother's death worsens. She internalizes her feelings. And when she learns the situation in Fillydelphia is driven by the corrupt mayor of Fillydelphia, she vows revenge.
With the help of the alchemy skills of the one pony she can trust, Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara enacts her plan.
Diamond Tiara, ruthless CEO by day, cold-blooded killer by night.

Okay, that's a little too much like Batman. I think I'll stick to writing stories more like the ones I've written.
If you want it to be more like batman, you need to have Rich and Tiara go to a movie theater in Fillydelphia.
