Spoiled said. "Well, yes," Apple Bloom said. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" Spoiled shouted. "Now, now, hun," Filthy said. "Let's stay calm." He turned to Apple Bloom. "But she's right. How could you do such a thing?" "She has been bullying me and my friends," Apple Bloom responded. "She even made fun of Scootaloo for her inability to fly." "We understand," Filthy replied. "Miss Cheerilee told us and to be honest, I think having Diamond Tiara not being allowed to attend the Equestrian Games challenge was understandable. But to drug our daughter and make her suffer violent diarrhea is taking it way too far. Diamond Tiara, can you please step out for a moment? "Okay, Daddy," she responded, as she left her bedroom. "Right now, we're here to give you a list of things you need to do for our daughter," Filthy said. He handed a list of things to help his daughter out to Apple Bloom. What Diamond Tiara Needs 1. Give her the medication that she needs to pump out the laxatives every three hours. 2. Make sure that she only eats food that will help tighten her bowel movement. It will be in the kitchen. 3. Change her diaper whenever she uses it. "You think she's some foal?" Apple Bloom questioned after she read the list. "All of this looks like Ah'm babysitting one." "Of course not," Filthy said. "She read the list and understood the situation. Just make sure that she's okay. Diamond Tiara, you can come back in now." Diamond Tiara did as she was told. "Just remember: if you hurt our daughter, I'll make you suffer so horrifically that you will feel it for the rest of your life," Spoiled reminded Apple Bloom. "Calm down, hun," Filthy said. "Ah understand, Mrs. Rich," Apple Bloom said. "Ah Pinkie Promise." "Good," Spoiled replied. "Now then, we have a meeting to go to, so we won't be back until around 6:00 PM. Randolph is going to be in the mansion for the duration of the day, so don't even think about trying to leave." "Ah promise," Apple Bloom said. With that said, the parents left. Apple Bloom turned to Diamond and sat next to her on her bed. "Thanks for changing me," Diamond said. "Well, Ah didn't really have much of a choice," Apple Bloom responded. "Ah don't want this whole place to smell terrible and besides, Ah deserved it. Ah deserved the punishment." She placed her hoof on Diamond's shoulder. "Look, maybe we can still be friends. I mean, we both did wrong to each other. Why don't we start over?" "I guess that can work." "Is there anything Ah can do for you?" "How about we work on homework. After all, it is due on Monday, so why not get it done now so that we don't have to worry about later on?" "Ah guess you're right." The two fillies lay on the bed and began working on their homework, which involved Math, History, and Grammar. Within about an hour, they were both finished and placed their books in their saddlebags. "Okay, now what do you want to do?" Apple Bloom asked. "Why don't we--" Diamond began, but stopped when she felt her stomach start to hurt. "Oh no, not again. Apple Bloom, please hold me down." "Ah understand," Apple Bloom responded, as she held Diamond to the floor. Within a few seconds, Diamond let out a long wet fart and made the whole room smell terrible. "Sorry." "No, Ah understand. Come on, let's get you changed." Apple Bloom placed Diamond on the changing table, cleaned her up, and placed another diaper on her. "There we go," Apple Bloom said. "So, what did you want to do?" "How about we go have some lunch," Diamond said. "Randolph is cooking some food that will hopefully help fix my bowel movement." "T.M.I." "Sorry, just needed to tell you that the food may not be exactly the same as you may eat back at home." "Ah understand." The two fillies walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where Randolph had peanut butter and banana sandwiches ready for them. "So, this is what we'll be eating today?" Apple Bloom asked, as she and Diamond took their seats. "Yes," Randolph responded. "It's to help Diamond Tiara with her stomach." "Ah see," Apple Bloom said. "Enjoy," Randolph said, as he left the kitchen. As the two fillies ate their sandwiches, Apple Bloom kept thinking about what Diamond's life was like. Curious to know, she turned to her. "Diamond, what is yer life with yer family like?" Apple Bloom asked her. "It's kind of...complicated," Diamond responded. "My father is very kind and helps me out with a lot of my problems, but my mother is very bossy and constantly wants everything to be perfect. She can be very nasty at times." "Are you sure? She seemed to actually care about you when she called me out for poisonin' ya." "Well, that was only after what had happened did she feel concerned for my safety. That was probably the first time in a long time that she showed some love toward me." "Ah'm sorry to hear about how she treats ya." "It's okay, Apple Bloom. Everything's going to be fine." "Well, gettin' to learn about our lives can hopefully help fix our relationship toward each other." "I agree." Before long, the fillies finished their sandwiches, left the table, and walked back upstairs. As they got upstairs, however, Diamond grabbed her stomach and groaned in pain. "Hold on a second," she said. "I'll be right back." Diamond began sweating and tried to run to the bathroom. Before she could get there, however, she let a long wet fart and soiled her diaper, causing her to blush and shed a tear. "It's okay, Diamond," Apple Bloom said. "Ah got ya. Let's go change yer diaper." After Apple Bloom changed Diamond, the two fillies walked to Diamond's bedroom and sat on the bed. Apple Bloom pulled out a pilled and showed it to Diamond. "Okay, Diamond," Apple Bloom said. "It's time for you to take this." "Is that the pill that my parents told you to give to me?" Diamond asked. "This better not be another laxative prank!" "Don't worry, it's not. Here, take this dixie cup of water and use it to swallow the pill." Apple Bloom gave Diamond the cup and she drank it in one gulp and swallow the pill at the same time. "You feeling okay?" Apple Bloom asked. "A little bit better," Diamond answered, as she began to yawn. "I think I need a little nap. All of those accidents have made me tired and besides, I only got three hours of sleep last night." Diamond got in the covers of her bed and quickly fell asleep. Apple Bloom, feeling worried for Diamond's health, decided to join in with her nap and got in the covers. "Ah'll keep ya safe, no matter what," Apple Bloom said. "That's what friends are for."
