Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara's year and a half anniversary is coming up. Everything's been great but... Apple Bloom wishes Diamond would tell her parents already. That way, they wouldn't have to keep hiding their relationship from the world.
The one and only time Diamond Tiara was bullied, her mother told her that ponies always tease the ones they love. Now, during a study date with Apple Bloom, Diamond fears it's a self-fulfilling prophecy--and that she'll end up hurting her again.
Apple Bloom didn't want to go to the Harvest Festival to get her heart broken twice over. Diamond Tiara didn't want to risk seeing Apple Bloom with someone else. Could their friends really show them how wrong they truly are?
Diamond Tiara has always loved Apple Bloom. Perhaps it is the sole reason she picked on her so much in school. After all, why else would she have such a fascination with her flank?
