I woke up in the hospital. I don’t recall how I got here. I don’t recognize the mare who says she’s family. I don’t even remember my own name.

So what kind of pony will I become?

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and 350 years ago, Sweetie Belle and I vanished without a trace.
Now here we are, in the future.
Equestria has become a utopia, with everypony living in peace and harmony.
Everything is perfect. All a pony could ever want, and more.
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I want to go home.

Diamond Tiara has a secret. She likes Anime. Loves it, even. But nopony can find out. Not her parents, or her friend, or her classmates... Nopony! They'd never understand! They'd laugh at her, call her names, tell her *gasp* They would say she's uncool!

Well, it can't be that hard to keep such a secret from everypony in Ponyville, can it?

Ponies make mistakes. They make mistakes because they have flaws. They have flaws because they're not perfect, and they're not perfect because they're not Diamond Tiara.

Humans are the same way. None of them are Diamond Tiara either. That's probably why they're all so silly and absurd. Most of them are even silly enough to believe that there's something wrong with Diamond Tiara. How crazy is that?

Of course, crazy is as crazy does. The problem is that reality does too. Every time Diamond Tiara finds some attention, she keeps getting shoved aside so someone else can soak it all up. What sort of reality lets something like that happen? Where's the fairness in a world where Diamond Tiara can be overshadowed by someone who's not Diamond Tiara? Do the forces that be just enjoy messing with her? If that's the case, they're lucky she's nice.

Inspired by the time and effort I've seen put into every story I've read on this site. Thank you to everyone for that inspiration.

In the Ponyville schooling system, story-time is represented by two seperate, yet equally important groups: The gangsta rapper who reads the tale, and the pony school children who are forced to listen to it. These are their stories... *Chung Chung*
--Rated Teen for cursing. A good deal of it. What did you expect? It's Ice Cube, for God's sake.--

Matthew Williams, a citizen of New York City, leads a pretty good life, an alright job, a nice place. Sure, he has dreams and aspirations like the normal humans of the earth, but he was rather content at the moment. That all changes, when six ponies drop right on his head, and soon finds himself in a variety of situations that will spin his life in all different directions.

Rated PG-13 for Language, Violence, Mild Crude Humor, and Some Sexual Content.

After leaving on a second pilgrimage to find himself, Spike returns to Ponyville, physically larger and sporting an impressive array of skills and powers.

His plans for a calm life in Ponyville, however, takes a different path as he soon finds himself the desire of several ponies interests, friends old and new included.

Change breeds benefits, as the saying goes. Spike has yet to hear it ring true.

The aftermath of Silver Spoon's words bore into Diamond Tiaras mind. Used to shunning everypony, now Diamond Tiara has to start over and make friends in Manehattan. Criticism welcome here~

Hello. My name is Elizabeth Shannon Rose Smith, but I prefer you call me Elizabeth. I'm rich, I hope you acknowledge that, and I have a best friend named Sara, who's also rich. So I said to myself one day, 'Hey, why not change into a pony and do it when my parents are away so I don't get in trouble except when they come back and see me gone and a random pink filly in my place and worry and grief for me like crazy when they don't recognize me?' Sarcasm, let me remind you.

Yeah right.

Diamond Tiara has always been forced to endure experiences that would break an average pony. But it was not until she realized her anger failed to help her that she was able to truly conquer the terrors that plagued her life. Diamond Tiara's back story. Basically, I wrote this story because Diamond Tiara is woefully underrated and hated, two words that should never be associated with any pony. I hope that this look of Diamond Tiara's unknown childhood and adulthood explains and helps you to sympathize, love, and tolerate her, as I have. It is also an outlook on the future on Ponyville, and the creation of a new Mane Six, composed of Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Pipsqueak, Dinky, and of course, Diamond Tiara. Finally, this idea has been ignited by the Deviantart image known as The New Elements of Harmony by musapan.
