easy

Ugh," an annoyed Diamond screams.

"Something wrong sweetie. " replied filthy rich.

"Why did this have to happen to us. " commented Diamond tiara.

"Relax sweet heart all of this is just part of life. "

"I know but still it's just for unfair, " with her hooves stomping on the ground.

"I know sweet heart but you just got to roll with the bucks. “

A few awkward moments of silence between the 2 are shared before Diamond tiara breaks the immortal silence.

"Hey dad, you Said you had called up an old friend right."

"Yes sweet heart. "

"Is he like a business partner or ........"

"No sweet heart she."

"She?"

"Yes sweet heart she is an old friend of mines from my kinder garden."

"So we will be sleeping at HER place tonight?"

"Why did you emphasis on the word 'her' my dear .........o wait, wait, wait, wait sweet heart it's nothing like that, we are just friends that is all. "

"Okay riiiiiiiiiiiight, that explains why we are walking to the suburban area."

"Why, is something wrong with the suburbs sweet heart. "

"No is just that well i thought this friend of yours to be a business friend instead of a foal hood friend and usually your business friends don't live in filthy suburbs like this. "

"Diamond! We will have respect when we arrive okay. None of that attitude of yours you got it."

Diamond tiara rolls her eyes.

"Okay dad. "

After several minutes of walking which felt like hours thanks to Diamond tiaras constant complaining, whining and even more questions, they arrive at the gate of their host for the night.

Diamond tiaras eyes went as thin as pin pricks as she stared at the dress and home: 24 hay baker street.

Diamond tiara starts to walk back slowly staring at the number and the name of the house she was tasked to stay in. she continued walking back slowly until she fell down which was only a few inches from her original stand. Rich saw this and he constantly called out to Diamond tiara and she gave no response. he continued his endeavor until he became extremely frightened and yelled at her

"O my celestial! Diamond is everything OK dear, talk to me." filthy said in a very terrified voice.

"No , no , no everything is wrong dad, everything is wrong."

"Why sweet heart just please tell me what's wrong."

"We are at HIS house. "

"Wait you know who lives here. "

Yes, he is the bane of my existence. The warden of my prison. The executioner of my joy. The harvester of my sorrows. We are at mash's house.

A few knocks where given at the gate which Diamond tiara had only noticed the last few knocks since she was so stunned and shocked to this reveal.

Diamond was completely flabbergasted as to where she will be sleeping tonight.

"Dad what are you doing. Quick we have to run while we still have the chance, we must run now."

"Sweet heart where will even go. "

"Will suffer through the rain, sleep under a box, we will hide in some-ponies basement , just please dad not this pla-"

Diamond tiaras words where cut short by the soft words of a gorgeous mare.

"Hello Rich."

"Hello Tap."

Love taps was well known as one of the beauties of pony Ville, effortlessly stealing every single eye of pony Ville’s male population except for the stallions who were already married and in a happy relationship but they still noticed her. she would walk by completing her usual grocery shopping or whatever she had to do in town. A stallion who was caught entering her home was considered one lucky stallion. love tap was as beautiful as she was smart, making her all the more of a deadly catch

she even modeled for some of Rarities shows and she did it for quite a considerable amount of time to .Some even wonder how can any stallion be stupid enough to divorce such a beautiful and graceful mare .

"So this must be your daughter."

"Yes this is my daughter, Diamond tiara. "

"wow she is so beautiful. " love tap said with a comforting smile.

The expression had taken Diamond tiara completely off guard. leaving her completely stunned.

"Well aren't you 2 going to come In."

However, before Diamond tiara could step into the house, she was stopped by her father’s hooves.

With love tap already in the house filthy whispered into Diamond's ear. "Remember Diamond tiara where are just going to stay here for the night OK. Once morning comes we will leave. OK so I don't want any of that attitude of yours ".

Filthy rich said with serious expression on his face warning Diamond tiara that if she messes up, open her big mouth, insult or negatively comment on their way of life or hurts them in any way. She won’t be in hot water she will be in STEAMING water.

Although it was hard to hear her father with his soft voice despite his close distance, it was clear enough for Diamond tiara to understand completely.They both enter the home.

Love tap who was now returning to the kitchen called her son "sweetie heart the visitors are here "

With that said Diamond could hear the hooves steps coming from the top of the building which was considerably quiet big for a mare who's line of work is foal caring , it was oddly suspicious considering that it doesn't pay so well but no pony paid any mind to it .

Button mash walks into the room. his mouth completely drops as he finally completes scanning the area for the guests.

"DIAMOND TIARA !!!!!!"

The volume of his words completely caught both guest off guard.

love tap immediately was flushed red embarrassed about her son’s outburst and pulled him one side.

"Mom we have to run, we have to leave will have move now," a rambling button said

Love tap was quite confused by this although button mash isn't a social butterfly, he was very kind to guest. He would let the younger visitors play his joy boy and play with them, be respectful to the older pony's and all the other usual etiquette's of a normal growing earth pony colt.

"W-w-w-what are you talking about sweetheart. "

"Mom Diamond tiara is here."

"So. " love tap said with an eyebrow raised.

"Mom, she's my worst enemy. "

His mom giggled a bit.

"Sweet heart every pony deserves a second chance, no matter what they have done to you."

"But mom she's been mean to me ever since hearts and hooves day. "

Love tap recalls her first heart and hooves day in pony Ville

Love tap remembered her first hearts and hooves day in pony Ville, it was also her first hearts and hooves day as a single divorced mother. Love tap was confused remembering everything went well despite some downs.

They threw a party for hearts and hooves days, inviting all button mash's friends and it was a huge success at the time. she even remembered button inviting Diamond tiara to it. it was also the day button mash got his first crush ' sweetie bell'. However, it didn't end well.

she confessed she had feelings for anther colt, after a few heart soaked words button nodded at sweetie belle and asked if they would remain as friends. However, Rarity had mistaken the situation and she immediately took action, which by Rarity immediately started levitation button mash into the air and putting him on the other side of the room. It wasn't really noticed by the other guest but it was not appreciated by both the foals of that broken friendship.

Now sweetie bell has left pony Ville for a while. leaving button mash behind, all alone.

The other cutie mark crusaders heard about this incident and decided to stay away from him, as things might get awkward.

It was a sad and painful moment but it was still a pleasant holiday, button mash actually recovered remarkably, which was odd as love tap thought his sensitivity would play a bigger part in his small period of heart break.

love tap covers her face with her hooves and then rubs her temples slowly trying to process why her son would not listen to her.

"Listen here sweet heart you either be nice to our guest or you can go a month without any games and let's just say something might happen to your little joy boy of yours."she said with a wicked grin.

Button mashes heart immediately grew with fear as he knew what his mom meant. His mother is very capable of keeping her promises.

With a grunt as her reply, love top immediately went to the dinner table ready to serve out every pony’s food.
