//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 - I need to come up with better insults // Story: A Diamond in the Sun // by Sar Meister //------------------------------// Diamond Tiara's PoV "This school is simply terrible just awful, from the faculty who get way into their students coddling them over-protectively, to the students who like to pretend they’re the best people on the damn planet..... But by far the worst is those Hypocritical, backstabbing, lying, UNKEMPT, UNCIVILIZED, IMBECILES THAT ARE THE RAINBOOMS!!! Well more like Rainbombs, yeah good one Diamond real original." Diamond Tiara thinks to herself as she begins recollecting on the past few days before Sunset was brought into her home after a rather vicious beating. "So let’s see, it all seemed to start when Anon-A-Miss posted that weird nickname that Applejackass had from her family. While a little weird and definitely something I would have used back when I was a bully, it really wasn’t all that much to make a fuss over." She thinks to herself pulling out a notebook as she starts drawing out a timeline and starts marking down each event that caused this mess to escalate into what it was now. Week before winter break: The Anon-A-Miss Files part 1 l ·    Tuesday: Anon-A-Miss makes their first post after their creation roughly at around the evening of the day before releasing the story of Applejackass and piggly wiggly. l ·    Wednesday: Anon-A-Miss somehow manages to gain access to photos of Bitchity’s slumber party fashion shoot from Sunset’s phone effectively framing her as Anon-A-Miss even more so than the profile account already was. This causes the Raintrash’s (Note to self, think of better insulting name for Rainboom’s, you can do better than this Diamond!) to abandon their friend in need leaving her to the wolves….. Diamond took a moment collect herself, her arm shaking in anger. Her fingers gripping the pen so hard, that her knuckles turned white and cracks started to spread through the plastic. She really didn’t want to have to find another pen because of her inner rage. After a few moments of breathing and counting from ten she refocused on her timeline to make sure nothing was ruined. Finding nothing of note worthiness she continued. l ·    Thursday: Anon-A-Miss begins targeting other students around campus, hitting numerous students ranging from that clutz, and I guess kinda cute, girl Derpy having a crush on Time Turner, to the Snips and Snails Trixie shrine…… Yeah future me, I thought it would be a Sunset shrine too. Although considering the circumstances, I'm quite glad they didn't end up having one, means less competition. Diamond Tiara smiles giddily to herself as her mind starts to bombard her with images of Sunset in multiple positions, each more beautiful and alluring than the last. One in particular got stuck in her mind. It was a fantasy of Sunset and herself at her indoor pool. Diamond finds herself relaxing against one of the chairs as one of the most beautiful sites she could imagine came into view. Sunset in a stunning two piece lace swimsuit, her hair wet yet vibrate and luscious. She pulled herself out of the pool before walking towards her. Each step she took caused some of her more well endowed parts to sway and move in such evilly enticing ways. Ways that made Diamond want to just stop what she was doing and ravish her right then and there...... Before Diamond's fantasy could go any further, she was stopped by insistent shaking and the sound of her friends voice.      "Diamond snap out of it! You're drooling again and I am not explaining to the help, why there’s drool all over the floor again." Silver Spoon said, as she gently shook her friend out of her fantasy world. Finally snapping out of it, Diamonds cheeks tinged red, upon seeing the small puddle of drool on the floor. The result of her minds unladylike thoughts. “You really need to learn how to calm yourself, when you're around Sunset. It wouldn’t be a good idea to confess, by creaming yourself just thinking about her.” She said, seeing that Diamond was, once again, among the living. “Or maybe, that’s exactly how you want to be found out! You want her to know, what she does to you. You want her to know, what a good pet you can be.” Silver Spoon’s voice echoed through Diamonds head. “Damn it! Mental Spoon is back again...” She thought to herself trying to keep her composure.     “Yes, and I’m never leaving your yuri saturated mind. Now come back to the dark side and think of Sunset in some lingerie.” That thought in and of itself, would have pulled Diamond right back in, if it hadn’t been for the real Silver, snapping her out of it again. “Come on Diamond, it’s getting late and we can’t really miss school tomorrow. We were lucky enough to get by on pretending to be sick today.” She says reasoning with her friend, followed by Diamond’s traitorous stomach giving a grumble of hunger that seemed to echo throughout the room and into the halls.     “And I’m pretty sure it’s dinner time, so how about we get something to eat? Sunset isn’t going anywhere and you can finish your little Diary entry later.” Silver said, gently leading Diamond to the door.     “Wh-Hey this is a journal not a Diary for one thing, and for another I can walk myself.” Diamond grumbled, as she led her friend lead her away.     “Yeah, but without me to do it, you would probably stay here even longer. So I will do my duty, as a loving friend, to bring you to the dining room.” Silver answered, relieved, that her friend was at least still her regular self, despite all that had happened recently. Diamond could only mutter in response as she let her friend lead her away from Sunset’s bedside into the halls where one of the help was waiting, she was an unremarkable woman that didn’t garner for Diamond’s immediate attention, only earning a small glance when the maid informed her that dinner was ready to be served and that she should head there post haste, lest it were to get cold. After informing the maid to notify her when Sunset wakes up from her coma, they set off towards the dining hall passing by many halls and rooms. Upon arrival they were brought to their respective dinner’s, Diamond was served a medium rare steak, mash potatoes, and green beans with a side of sparkling grape juice. Silver ended up having a more pescatarian meal of a lettuce and fried flounder fish with a side of sparkling grape juice. With the food delivered they were once again left in silence by the help. Dinner was a slow affair, neither really hungry though their stomachs complained, and there was little that they could talk about that didn’t have to do with what was happening at school or Diamond’s never ending crush. Silver was the first to break the silence. “Diamond, I think we should talk about Anon-A-Miss.” Silver says placing her her fork and knife down as she addresses her friend across from her. “I’m quite sick of her, and I believe I can speak for everyone when I say it’s time for her to go.” She adds Diamond thinks this over before sighing. “We’re going to need help, otherwise we won’t be getting anywhere fast in our search.” “Why not get your dad’s lawyer, I’m sure being a professional he’d know how to approach this.” Silver Spoon suggests Diamond shakes her head. “Not yet, as it stands there’s too much evidence pointing against Sunset and nothing really pointing anywhere else besides how blatant it is. The lawyer will have to come later, although we could hire a private investigator to find the evidence we need to prove Sunset’s innocence… Maybe we could look to the people that actually know Sunset is innocent.” She adds after giving the idea some thought. “Ah, well who do you think we should talk to first?” Silver Spoon asked with genuine curiosity to Diamond’s plans. “Well the only one I can really think about right now would be Flash Sentry.” Diamond say’s as she mulls it over in her mind. “Sunset’s ex, are you sure?” She asks cautiously, not sure how that might help them all that well. “Yeah, from what I know she never actually loved him and that he was surprised that none of the really personal secrets she had on him were posted yet.” Diamond says with a nod. “Alright so first thing in the morning we need to have a chat with mister golden boy.” Silver Spoon says agreeing with her idea, before adding one of her own. “Maybe Snips and Snails, being Sunset’s… I guess minion’s back when she had power, they would know how she normally operates and know that she’d never pull this off in a way that incriminates her.” Diamond found herself nodding to this finding it easy to understand the rationale of getting Snips and Snails on board. “Do you know if Derpy is an option? It could be beneficial for us to get her help, most people don’t seem to really notice her, and if they do they normally write her off.” Diamond offers, not sure where Derpy stands on the Anon-A-Miss situation. Whether she believes Sunset is Anon-A-Miss or if she believes she’s innocent. Silver gives it some thought, considering the information she knows. “From what little I know, she might be a good candidate, though that might be due to her having a crush on Sunset.” She says with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders “Alright then, while I don’t like the idea of having competition for the heart of my dear Sunset, I know we’re going to need all the help we can get for our investigation.” Diamond says before finishing off the last of her dinner. “So do you know if you’re spending the night here or do your parents want you home tonight?” “They said they don’t mind me staying the night, as long as I adhere to their rules and be your perfect little house guest.” Silver says with a small giggle at the thought. “I mean why I would be anything else is completely beyond me, but you know them.” She adds having finished her own dinner as well. Diamond finds herself giggling at the idea as well, wiping a tear from her eye at how hard she laughed at the notion that Silver Spoon could be anything less than perfect. She seemed to always be perfect in whatever she did, something Diamond jokingly suggested was due to her old money heritage being passed down from generation to generation, quoting a favorite line of hers from one of the many “hidden” hobbies she had that only Silver Spoon knew. Heaven forbid if anyone found out the “perfect” princess was actually a weeaboo nerd. Of course she kept it hidden quite well with how she acted around those people and the merchandise. “Well of course, to think anything else is a crime against you Silvie.” She says using her old childhood nickname from when they were younger. She gets up from her chair to take a small playful bow as the servants begin to clear the table of their dishes, their dinners finished for the night. Silver giggled softly at her friends display before offering her hand.     Diamond gingerly takes her friends hand before they rush off to her room sharing a laugh here and there at something the other said. The room they entered was filled with what could only be called a weeaboo’s wet dream, a poster of the shonen trinity on the wall next to the window was surrounded by entire dvd box sets, and the dolls (Action figures!!!) of various different animes. However Diamond quickly rushed over to her closet locking it with an embarrassed blush causing Silver Spoon to burst out into laughter.     “Come on Diamond, I’m pretty sure you have nothing to hide that could possibly be more embarrassing to me. We are both huge dorks for anime… Don’t tell me you have hentai in there!” She says with mock surprise and shock.     “I-It’s not like that! I don’t have that stuff… In there at least…” She says the last part quietly as she tries to redirect her friends attention to something else more comfortable to talk about. “H-how about we watch some episodes of gunslinger girl? You know the one you’re constantly nagging me to watch over and over again?” She says as she sets her tiara onto her nightstand and gets some bags of popcorn ready.     “I DON’T NAG!!!” Silver Spoon says quickly before catching herself  and blushes from her statement before saying more quietly with a death glare. “I don’t nag… And sure, but afterwards I’m getting you to watch one of the old animes, no more of that new stuff for you.” She says with a playful huff, this statement ended up reigniting a old debate between the two that has long since become a way of showing their love for the same things. This and anime watching continued for the rest of the night before sleep overtook Silver Spoon. Once checking to see her friend asleep fully Diamond took out her journal opening it to where she last left off before grabbing a pen and scribbling down one final note. Friday: A group of students get fed up with who they think is the culprit, Sunset Shimmer, and decide to take matters into their own hands. From what I know the Siren’s end up saving her from a worser fate than being in a coma. Will have to do further research to verify story, hopefully can when she wakes up. To do list: Assemble a team, investigate Anon-A-Miss, defend Sunset Shimmer, and confess(maybe) my feelings for her. Sincerely, Diamond Moneyworth Tiara     She signs before heading to bed to sleep peacefully for the first time in days.
