Cheerilee has lived the life of a schoolteacher with a smile and devotion that is unparalleled to any other pony in Equestria and yet, her career has left her single and lonely.

However, a simple and unexpected reunion with a student she almost forgot about may perhaps change that.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are set to spend the weekend together, thanks to some bending of the truth when they told their parents where they'd be off to. The fun stuff they have planned can get started as soon as they find a neat new hiding spot that Diamond Tiara ran across her last time in the forest. But the cave isn't as easy to find as DT remembers, and a misstep in the forest can be disastrous if somepony isn't paying attention. What will Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon do when they get themselves into a mess there doesn't seem to be a way out of? And why does Diamond Tiara keep coming back to the same question over and over again?

Warning: This story is sad and kind of dark, so if you don't like those kind of stories then please don't read it. :x

Thank you to the artist Maytee for drawing such an amazing piece of art that I could use as the cover. If it's not okay, please let me know :x

Life can be tough when you're part of the in-crowd, so it helps to have a few friends you can turn to. For one filly, realizing who those friends are might mean losing the only friend she's ever known. If only she had the courage to face her biggest fear, things might be different.

Maybe this year...

This is an update to the 4th place finisher in the January 2015 "All In" Writeoff.

Special thanks to sunnypack and Titanium Dragon for pre-reading the update and all the wonderful reviews from The Writeoff Association group. You guys rock!

Diamond wants to try this 'weed' she keeps hearing about. Silver joins her. Stuff happens.

Just a dumb story created to try to help me break though my writers block. Enjoy~

Thanks to Leoshi for taking time out of his life to proofread this thing.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have been best friends since the beginning of first grade, when DT protected Silver from being bullied and they became friends because of it.

But over the years, Diamond has become a bully too, and Silver was afraid that she'd lose her only friend and become a social pariah if she tried to tell DT to stop. So to help her cover, she joined in on whatever tortures Diamond had planned for the CMC, but she always felt bad about it.

However, ever since they teased Scootaloo about her wings and lost the flag-carrying competition to the crusaders, she's been feeling worse and worse about what she and her friend are doing. Now she's torn; should she just say no and try to put a stop to DT's bullying, but risk losing it all? Or should she just play along and let Diamond set out to ruin the lives of three innocent fillies?

Takes place right after Flight to the Finish.

Diamond Tiara is easily the most popular pony in her class, and definitely the wealthiest. Her closet is full of all the newest trends and her family runs a well known business that nets money from places that aren't even in Equestria, but she isn't exactly very clever.

Silver Spoon, on the other hand, is not at all fashionable and her family is the opposite of 'high-class.' She is very clever, though, and her and Diamond get along surprisingly well, but Silver sometimes feels a little...like she's having to work to let Diamond be her best friend.

So when an art competition comes up and both of the fillies decide to participate, Silver has to decide whether she'll let her love for art shine through or hold back so Diamond's parents will be satisfied.

A simple story about budding friendship between two ponies. The cover art credit goes to @mysticalpha on deviantART.

Once upon a time, Silver Spoon's life made sense. She had the right friends, the right house, and the right school for a young lady coming up in the world. Once upon a time, Silver Spoon lived amongst proud towers in a vibrant, bustling city that never slept.

Now she lives in Ponyville. Not so terrible once one gets used to it. Silver's learned to appreciate some ponies, harbor grudges for others, and tolerate the rest. But sometimes, she wonders if one pony in particular is as popular as she thought.

Sweetie Belle is outraged at how much praise Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon get for an act of heroism.
