Ponyville Elementary School
The school bell rang “Alright class, remember to get started on your floats as soon as you get home. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with for this year’s Summer Harvest Festival.” Cheerilee beamed as the children started to file out of the schoolhouse.
As Diamond was heading out of the doorway, trying to keep one step ahead of Timmy “Hey Diamond, wait up.” Silver Spoon was galloping toward the door as she was getting the last bit of her things until she bumped into the human child “Out of the way dweeb!” She caused Timmy to drop his books as she left the schoolhouse.
Diamond chuckled at the sight & held out a hoof for her friend “Nice job Silver!” Both fillies gave each other a hoof bump. Both of them looked back at the fallen child as he was trying to get up “Such a loser.. I can’t believe…”
“Diamond Sapphire Tiara!” Diamond cringed as she turned to see Spoiled Rich standing a few feet away from her with a look of disapproval upon her muzzle. Spoiled started to trot toward the two fillies ‘What do you think you are doing young lady & you too Silver Spoon?”
“Mother, what are you doing here?” Diamond looked up at her mother confused “I thought you were away on a business trip?”
“Well sweetheart, I was & I wasn’t, but for now I need you two to come with me.” She trotted back toward the schoolhouse & entered the classroom, clearing her throat “Mmhmm..Afternoon Miss Cheerilee.”
The mare turned around as she was helping Timmy back up “Oh, afternoon Mrs. Rich.” She gave a slight smile as she turned back to Timmy “Are you alright dear?” The boy nodded as he gathered his books to leave.
“Wait dear child, may I take a look at you?” Spoiled Rich carefully placed a hoof on his shoulder as Timmy looked up at her.
“Yes Ma’am, is something wrong?” The boy looked up at her curiously as a look of shock crept across the mare’s face.
“Oh my, you…” Spoiled turned toward her daughter & Silver Spoon “Girls, here now!” She stomped her hoof on the floor “You two apologize to this young dear now! I saw you Silver Spoon push him while you dashed out of the door, & Diamond, you just stood there & watched.” She looked at the two fillies with disapproval.
“But mother...I” Diamond attempted to argue, but was silenced with Spoiled stomping against the floor again.
“No buts young lady! You will apologize & apologize now!” She pointed at the child with a hoof to motion for the fillies to apologize.
Silver Spoon hung her head “I am sorry Timmy for pushing you & knocking you down.” She let out a slight,disappointed huff.
“I am sorry Timmy for laughing at you when Silver Spoon knocked you down.” She turned her head to the side so her mother wouldn’t see & huffed angrily.
Spoiled Rich looked at them “Hmph… I feel those weren’t sincere enough young ladies, but we will work on that.” She then turned toward Timmy & placed a hoof on his shoulder “Dear, you don’t know, but I’ve seen you before.” She turned her head a bit, closing her eyes tightly. She took in a deep breath & exhaled, turning back to look back at the child “Dear child, I have a lot of explaining to do, but do you think that your mother, Princess Luna would allow an old mare the opportunity to speak with her?” She rubbed at his shoulder gently.
Timmy looked up curiously at her, but nodded “Yes Ma’am. I will talk with Mommy to see if she would let you talk with her.” He gave her a warm smile.
“Thank you Timmy, dear.” Spoiled Rich turned to trot look at the two fillies “Silver Spoon go home to your parents, & Diamond honey, we are going to go see your father.” Before she trotted out of the door, she turned to Cheerilee “Miss Cheerilee, I know it has been a tradition as long as Ponyville Elementary been here, but for just this year I am going to cancel the Summer Harvest Festival.”
A collective gasp escaped from everyone’s mouth as Cheerilee looked at Spoiled Rich with a look of pure shock “Cancel the Summer Harvest Festival?! But Miss Rich, the kids are excited about getting started on their floats.” A frown then etched across the mare teacher’s face.
With a light chuckle Spoiled gave a smirk “Oh, don’t worry Miss Cheerilee, let the kids know that they can still make their floats, but it is going to be a whole different celebration.” With a wink she turned to trot out of the schoolhouse followed by Diamond Tiara while Silver Spoon left to go home.
Rich Manor
“So, that is why I have decided to return to right all of my wrongs I have done in the past dear.” Spoiled Rich was laying across a luxurious satin red sofa in the reading room talking with her mate “I need to make things right with those I have had hurt in the past with my behavior.” She drank at some freshly made hot tea.
“Well sugar, I am proud of you wanting to do this, & I wish I was there when that awful excuse for a stallion done that to you.” Filthy Rich shook his head at the thought of the story he just heard from his mate. He drank at his cup of hot tea “Also, I am glad that you have come to terms that it is good for our daughter to attend Ponyville Elementary where she can interact with other children.” A warm smile crept across his muzzle.
“Yes, I guess I just wanted Diamond to experience the best that life has to offer that I was blinded to the fact the best she could be offered is great friendships & a great education at her current school.” Spoiled smiled warmly & placed the cup on the coffee table “Thank you dear for allowing me this chance to tell you my tale. Now, I must take my leave so I can head to Canterlot to speak with royal sisters.” She got up & trotted out of the library.
“Good luck honey, I hope everything turns out alright & he gets what is coming to him.” He gave her a wink before waving a hoof to her.
As she trotted out of Rich Manor, a sly smirk crept across Spoiled Rich’s muzzle. Prince Blueblood, what you done to me I can get over, but what you done to that little boy & tried to get me involved, that was too much. I promise, once you see what I have in store for you, you are going to wish that you were never born into royalty. Like they say Blueblood, Tartarus hath no fury as a mare scorned!
