Pinkie Pie and Diamond Tiara were almost there, they were close to the hair salon in Ponyville. The two earth ponies finally reached Shimmer Shine's Hair Repair in downtown.
"How did you.. meet her?" Diamond asked before they entered the shop.
"I know everypony in Ponyville." Pinkie explained. "But since I've known both Glitter Ring and Shimmer Shine for a long time, I don't remember how we met. Hey, are you Shimmer Shine's sister!?"
"Yeah... I am. I haven't heard from her since she moved out." She didn't really feel too much upset when she said that, she gets to see Shimmer soon. Possibly get some answers too.
"Aaaaw! I'm sorry, kiddo." Pinkie Pie pushed the door open to the salon. The two entered the shop and walked towards the reception desk, nopony was there. Pinkie rang the bell and a mare came up to the desk.
"Pinkie!" She softly exclaimed. "Hello." She shifted her big green eyes down to Diamond Tiara and stopped. The mare didn't look away.
"Pinkie Pie..." Glitter Ring said with no emotion. "W-Who's this?" But Pinkie Pie only giggled. Diamond nervously smiled with her ears flattened. Perhaps Glitter Ring didn't want to see her filly, or maybe she was thinking that her own eyes were deceiving her.
"This is Diamond Tiara, silly." She squealed. "She's your filly, isn't she? You know, the one that you keep on talking about." Diamond quietly gasped, Glitter's been talking about her? Maybe... she did miss her after all.
"Diamond Tiara... is that you?" Glitter Ring asked, Diamond Tiara nodded. The purple pony hurried around the desk and stopped in front of the pink filly. She scooped Diamond up and squeezed her, tears streamed down her eyes. Diamond copied her mother, both with hugging and the tears.
Glitter rocked back and forth on her front hooves. "Shimmer! Come in here." Diamond heard running hooves coming from the other room.
"Diamond Tiara!" Shimmer's eyes glowed at the sight of her sister. She galloped to her side.
"I'm going to go now, goodbye Diamond Tiara." Pinkie Pie called, Diamond waved to her before she exited the building.
"My dear sister's here, and she's safe." She joined Diamond and Glitter into a group hug. Glitter cleared her throat when she released the other two ponies.
"Is Filthy Rich here?" Glitter asked. Diamond shook her head to say 'no'. Her mother sighed in relief. "Good, I don't trust that excuse for a stallion."
"Me neither." Diamond said. Shimmer and Glitter stared at the small pony. She explained everything. It was like before. After she ended, the other mares were shocked. Their eyes were wide and their jaws were dropped open.
"Diamond Tiara, I'm so so so sorry." Glitter hugged her daughter again. "I should've never left you with him. This is all my fault, I should've took you two with me. I made the mistake of letting him keep you two, but I promise that'll NEVER happen again." The mare fully released Diamond and Shimmer.
"And sis," Shimmer gulped. "I have a confession to make. Father never let me talk to you about mother otherwise... he'd do to me what he did to you. And I know I didn't keep in touch with you. That's because Filthy forbid me to, he had written to me that every letter I sent you had ended up in the trash. I'm sorry I didn't come to tell you myself." Diamond hugged her sister in forgiveness. Glitter gasped, the two mares glanced at their mother.
"Diamond Tiara, your cutie mark. I just noticed it, it's quite lovely. What's your special talent?" Her mother asked. But Diamond wasn't quite sure at the moment, it wasn't for wealth, she knew that. Finally, she smiled, her teeth fully showing. She bounced up and down all over the place.
"I know what it is." She said. "It means how I treasure what I have, my special talent is helping other ponies, Mother. I just now figured that out." Glitter smiled and sighed.
"Mother," Diamond asked. "Should we call the authorities on Filthy?" Glitter shook her head.
"No, only if he comes near any of us. Otherwise, we can let him drown in his own pity. I'm certain that he'll learn his lesson sooner or later." Even though Diamond wanted to call the police on Filthy Rich, she thought that was reasonable enough. She shrugged in acceptance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night had just gotten better for Diamond Tiara. She figured out that Shimmer lived next door to Glitter. So now, they could never be apart. It turned out that Glitter had prepared Diamond to move in, because there was a beautiful room for her. But it wasn't like her room at Filthy's, it was simple. Good enough for the used to be spoiled filly.
"What do you think, Diamond Tiara?" Glitter asked her daughter. Diamond's blue eyes sparkled at her.
"I love it." Diamond replied. Now she had new friends, new family, new house, and a brand new life. Finally, no more lies from her father. His name definately explained his personality, filthy and rich. She didn't have to deal with him anymore.
"Let's have some dinner, young one." Glitter nuzzled her daughter. Diamond giggled and skipped with her mother to the kitchen, she was finally going to have a life of a normal filly that her family would love. Not some luxurious fashion doll that her father could use for his 'Barnyard Bargains'.
The End
