Dear Diary,

Tomorrow is Hearts and Hooves day, I don't know what to do! I can't find a special somepony in that time frame! What am I saying? I'll just give somepony some money to be my special somepony! Problems are for the poor! I trotted into my daddy's office. He was sitting at his desk, looking through some papers. "Daddy! I need some money!" I said.

"Why?" Daddy asked.

"Because I need to find a special somepony!" I answered, stating the obvious. "I need to have a special somepony or else my image will be jeopardy!"

"Diamond, you know we're running... Low on cash..."

My eyes went wide. Poor? We couldn't be poor. Without saying anything, I ran out of the office and down the hall to my room. I dialed Silver's number.

"Hello?" She asked. I was relieved she was always there when I needed her.

"Hey, Silver."

"Hi, Di! What's up?"

"You won't believe what happened! My daddy told me that we were going..."

"Going what??"

"B... B... Broke!!"

"No way!" Silver gasped

"Yes way!"

"Oh my Celestia! You're going broke?!"

"Yes!!!!"

"Come over right now! We need to dig up our emergency cash from my yard!"

"You don't have to tell me twice!" I hung up, putting my phone down on my bed before racing down the stairs and out the door. I sped past a few houses and stores before ending up in front of Silver's house. She was waiting for me in the yard.

"I got us two shovels, let's dig!" Silver gave me a shovel and we started to dig. Some ponies stopped and stared but this time, it didn't matter. More ponies would stare at me if I went broke!

It took us hours before we managed to unearth the suitcase. "Thanks, Silver. You're a finance saver!" I said.

"No problem, Di. It's what friends are for, right?" Silver went back into her house as I walked back to mine, still carrying the suitcase. We were going to have an hour long phone call afterwards any ways, so what was the point of hanging around?

I shoved the suitcase under my bed, it was my emergency kit. My daddy would use it for things that didn't matter like bills and paying banks or whatever. "Oh no... It might be too late to find a special somepony." I looked at the time on my phone. It was 6:29 Pm. My curfew was at least 2 hours away. But I'm not allowed off of the property after 6:30, which means I have to stay until tomorrow morning. I called Silver again.

"Silver, I need you to come over."

"Why, Di?"

"Cause I need help! It's too late for me to get a special somepony."

"But at least you'll have platonic love." Silver assured me.

"Just... Please come over!"

"I'll be right there, Di!"

This time, Silver hung up. She was probably on her way right now. But she had to be home by 7 for dinner. It would take her a good 5 minutes to get here so I decided to pick out my outfit for tomorrow. I went with a pink tutu and a matching tiara with a diamond heart on it. I smiled, all of the colts would regret not asking me to be their special somepony. In all defense I would have turned them all down anyways and bought a child actor in as my special somepony but at least they would be jealous. Heck, I could even pay the child actor to marry me so that I could get some money and then divorce him. It's how you get easy money. But I felt a tinge of sadness.

There was a knock on my door, then Silver popped her head in. "Hi, Di."

"Hi, Silver." I said.

"Sad?" She asked. "When we were on the phone you sounded much better than this."

"Well. I won't be popular if I don't look like I have a special somepony." I replied.

"Popularity isn't everything."

"But I'll be all alone if I'm not popular. I'll be like those blank flanks."

"They still are friends. If you go down I go down with you, we can be alone together."

"I guess."

"Hugs?"

"Hugs." I ran into Silver's waiting hooves. "Silver?"

"Yes, Di?"

"Can You be my special somepony?" I asked.

Silver's eyes were was wide as saucers, as poor ponies would say, I preferred to say as wide as my luxury mansion. "Of course, Di."

To be honest, I think that Silver actually liked me for a while. I kind of liked her, but I was a bit confused. She's always been there. Unlike other ponies, she stuck by me.

"I love you, Silver Spoon." I admitted.

"I... Love you too, Di. I always did." Silver kissed me on the cheek.

There was a long moment of silence gazing into each other's eyes. "I think I need to go. It's almost 7 and my parents hate it when I'm late. Bye, Di." Silver turned and opened the door.

"Bye, Silver." I was still blushing when Silver left.

There were butterflies in my tummy, I didn't know what to do. But did Silver really love me? Was she just saying that to make me feel better? At least somepony was better than nopony, even if she was my best friend. I took a quick shower. Warm water seemed to calm my nerves, but it didn't work. My tummy still felt funny. I skipped dinner and just went to bed, dozing off and dreaming of Silver Spoon.
