The next morning, Diamond Tiara woke up to the light being turned on.
"Good morning princess!" said her father opening the door. Diamond Tiara pushed the covers off and rubbed her eyes.
"Huh? D-Dad? Why are you here? usually Mother wakes me up." said the pink filly sleepily.
"Well, today's a little... different." he said sitting down on the bed's edge.
"Different? How so?" she asked turning her attention to the tiara on her nightstand. She got up and started to stretch.
"Well, your mother and I have been talking about it, and we agreed that being woken up by yelling at you isn't the best for your... new mindset." he said.
Diamond Tiara placed her hoof on her chin. "Well it was enjoyable to not wake up to Mother's yelling."
Her father chuckles. "Well understand that your mother just wants you to be rich and be successful in life." he said.
"Now get ready for school little princess!"
"All right!" she said happily putting her tiara on her head.
After putting it on, she followed her father out of her room.
After brushing her teeth and combing her hair, her parents packed her lunch in her saddlebag.
She was out the front door when she heard her mother call her name. "Diamond Tiara!" she said threateningly.
The pink filly stopped in her tracks with her ears drooped down on both sides. Diamond Tiara nervously turned around to face her.
"Y-y-yes Mother?"
"I don't usually say this," she says in a nicer tone, "but have a good day at school..."
Diamond's nervous frown turns to a smile. "Uh, thanks Mother..." Inside she still felt uneasy about her mother.
"Well, don't get too used to it! I still think you shouldn't be hanging with those commoners!
Diamond Tiara just smiles. "Noted." She then turns around and follows her father to her friend's house.
When Diamond Tiara was the school bully, she would wait for her friend Silver Spoon outside her house every day before school. Usually to arrive in style or to get the jump on her classmates. Today however was different. She was a changed pony. She waited for her friend as usual. Tapping her hoof whenever she gets bored or impatient. She was leaning her back up against the wall with her hooves crossed.
"I'm not sure if she's coming or not." suggested her father.
"She'll be here! just give it time!" she yelled.
It felt like forever, but the door finally opened. A grey filly stepped out. She was wearing light blue glasses and a blue beaded necklace. Behind her glasses her eyes were purple. Her mane was a lighter grey. the back of her hair was braided. Her cutie mark was a fancy looking spoon of silver.
"Hey Diamond, ready for school?" she asked.
Diamond Tiara shifted her gaze at her. "Where were you? Do you realize how long I've been waiting out here?" She was not
happy about waiting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" said Silver Spoon. "I just couldn't find my glasses when I woke up, so it took a bit longer to get ready! It took forever, but my mom finally found it in the sink!"
Diamond Tiara sighs and shakes her head. "Okay, just don't lose them again!" she said. "Now come on! We're going to be late!" she said as they hurried off to school.
