Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are best friends.

Or, at least, they seem to be... until one last straw breaks the facade and Diamond lashes out. Alone and friendless, the rich filly has to make amends, and fast. Now that Diamond has outlived her usefulness, Silver Spoon has no reason not to make good on the threat which tied Diamond to her bidding for the past three years, and Diamond can't hope to deal with the consequences alone.

Even with friends by her side, though, life in Ponyville rarely conforms to expectation, and there are still some ponies determined to make Diamond suffer for her past sins. The truth about her bullying years might just save her, but after three years, things aren't going to be easy. With her father and Cheerilee to guide her, and new friends by her side, Diamond just might make it through this trial in one piece.

Note: the Alternate Universe tag is there for the following small changes from canon: Diamond Tiara's mother died when she was young; the CMC's cutie marks will be different, and Diamond's has a different meaning; and at the start of the story, there is no significant Rich-Apple trade.

After a visit to Manehatten, Diamond Tiara and her father, Filthy Rich, return home. But when they get off the train, they discover that Ponyville is deserted. And to make matters worse, Filthy Rich goes missing in mere minutes upon arriving home.

What will become of Diamond Tiara as she timidly explores the now abandoned town alone?

... But is she really alone like she thinks she is?

Diamond Tiara has always enjoyed picking on the Cutie Mark Crusaders. But one day, she finds she's gone too far, and everything for her comes tumbling down. But help may come from the most unexpected of places...

Started before season four, and does not take season four canon into account.

Critics can’t stop talking about The Diamond Exchange! But since they charge for their reviews, I’ll just post these that I made up instead.

“The Diamond Exchange kept me sitting in the center of my seat.” – Maud Pie.

“The ending left me more speechless than The Last Roundup.” – Derpy Hooves after accidentally reading the final chapter first.

“I guarantee that you’ll like The Diamond Exchange almost as much as everypony likes me. Almost.” – Flash Sentry with a wink and that obnoxious tongue click sound thing.

“Yes... Crystals...” – King Sombra.

“How long is this thing supposed to be?” – Rainbow Dash

“That’s what she said!” – Pinkie Pie

“Unrequited love! Same sex pairings! Melodrama! My royal eyes have touched common fan fiction!” – Prince Blueblood

“It’s... nice.” – Fluttershy

“The lack of realism in the relationship between Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon (as seen in The Diamond Exchange) is a minor but noticeable flaw that could easily be remedied by the inclusion of some steamy love scenes depicting the raw, unbridled passion that these two have for one another. That would be, like, so hot. Did... Did I say hot? I-I meant realistic. That would be very... realistic. You’re not going to quote me on that, are you? You are? Oh. Well, in that case, I wish to remain anonymous.” – S.S.

Scootaloo's mother dies after a terrible storm, now the little filly feels alone, sad, pain, friendships will be loss and friendships will be gained.
