I didn't care for Diamond Tiara or whatever stupid little thing she had to say, all I cared for right then was, guess what... MY GINGERBREAD!!! I mean, who wouldn't? So I barged past Diamond Tiara, (like any normal pony would), and I started chasing the flash of pink down the street.
"HAY!!! MY GINGERBREAD!!! NO PONY STEALS MY GINGERBREAD... NOPONY!!!"
I shouted as loud as I could whilst still chasing the figure. It was strange how familiar this all seemed though, I just couldn't put my hoof on it... But I didn't have time to think, partly because the thing had MY gingerbread and partly because Diamond Tiara was now chasing ME down the street shouting,
"COME BACK!!! WAS YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! I WANT MY TIARA BACK, PRINCESS!!! IF YOU DON'T GIVE IT BACK THEN YOU'RE DEAD!!!"
It was at this point that the figure in front of me came to an almost complete stop, it placed my gingerbread on top of a peculiarly low cloud and then turned and looked Diamond Tiara dead in the eye.
That frizzy purple mess of hair. Those pure blue icy eyes. Those perfectly polished hooves. I knew who this was. How could I have NOT recognised her.... HOW DID I NOT RECOGNISE MY OWN SISTER?! Oh yeah, I knew why, I was more concerned about my gingerbread...
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
My sister shouted right to Diamond Tiara's face.
"I said that if she doesn't give me MY tiara back then she is DEAD!"
Diamond Tiara sneered.
"She is MY sister! And I KNOW that she would never do such a thing and I don't like the way you're speaking to her so I suggest you either apologise to her or leave right now before things turn nasty."
Diamond Tiara looked a little taken back but finally decided to say,
"You CLEARLY don't know her as well as you think! She even admitted to stealing my tiara AND she said she hid it underneath her pillow in the hospital!!!"
I was shocked. How did she know where the tiara was? I was pretty sure that I didn't tell her that... Had I forgotten about telling her? Had she secretly found the tiara under the pillow and decided not to tell me just so that she'd have a reason to hate me even more? I had so much I wanted to say, but my sister spoke first.
"WHAT?! THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! HOW WOULD SHE EVEN GET TO A HOSPITAL TO HIDE IT THERE ANYWAY?!"
Oh no. She didn't know! I was going to tell her in my next letter but now she was here and she didn't know! This was terrible... What was I supposed to do? What else COULD I do except let it all unfold in front of me...
"SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU?! OH, THIS IS PRICELESS! WHAT KIND OF SISTER DOESN'T TELL THE OTHER ONE WHEN THEY FAINT... UNLESS OF COURSE THEY WERE FAKING...."
"FAINTED?!" Then she turned to me, "FAINTED?! YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU FAINTED! WHEN... HOW... WHY?!?!"
I was going to answer but Diamond Tiara cut in,
"I TOLD YOU, SHE WAS FAKING!"
Lightning, (my sister), just glared at her.
"You. Are. Really. Getting. On. My. Nerves. Now."
"TOO BAD!" Diamond Tiara shot, but this was too far for my sister who started to charge at her. I had no time to think, I grabbed the nearest cloud with my magic and tossed it in between the two of them to stop the fight. Gingerbread scattered everywhere and for a few minuets we all just stood still in absolute shock. I was shocked because my magic had worked, MY MAGIC HAD WORKED!!! But why... HOW?!?! The last time it had ever worked was back in Manehatten when I was trying to defend Babs... Why had it suddenly started working again now??? I think my sister was probably shocked because I'd let all my gingerbread just crumble onto the floor, and as for Diamond Tiara, well, she was probably surprised that I actually stopped my sister from attacking her. The silence seemed to go on forever until I finally conjured up enough courage to speak.
"So... Uh... Lightining.... What, um, brought you to Ponyville?"
"Oh... Well, um... actually, I was.... Uh..... Coming for the um.... Sisterhooves Social?"
"Oh. OK...".
Things were awkward like this for a while. None of us really knew what to say. Diamond Tiara just stood there watching the two of us talk, still completely dazed by what had just happened, and I have to say, I can't blame her...
After a while though, me and Lightning Strike decided to go back to my house so that we could talk properly. She bought me a new batch of gingerbread on the way home as we talked, it seemed to help...
