//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: The Assault! // Story: Diamond Hard // by Betty_Starlight //------------------------------// Silver Spoon draws her head back and opens her eyes brightly to smile cheerfully back at Diamond Tiara… Diamond Tiara, who immediately screams, “AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!” Silver’s eyes widen as she frantically exclaims, “Oh gosh! Are you alright Diamond? What’s the matter?” Diamond affixes her eyes to the gray pony as she breathes heavily through her mouth, in and out, “Why did you kiss me?” Silver blinks and stares back blankly as she narrows her mouth, “I like you, remember?” Diamond blinks as she stares at the gray pony and the idea of her liking her finally begins to sink into the pink earth mare’s mind… At this point, she can only lower her gaze and shout, “IDIOT!” Silver’s eyes widen, “What?” Diamond shakes her head and adjusts her gaze, “Get out! Now!” Silver’s eyes normalize while her mouth stays narrow, “I don’t think you really want me to leave, Diamond…” Diamond narrows her eyes as she says defiantly, “How would you know what I want, Silver Spoon?” Silver isn’t sure how the pink pony feels, but at this point, she knows she must try when she lowers her gaze and says, “I think you really like me too, Diamond…” Diamond blinks when she considers this, Do I like her? What was that I felt when she kissed me? Bah! This is ridiculous! And she looks at Silver and says, “Why would you believe that Silver Spoon? What in Equestria would make you believe that I “she gives a close-eyed shudder, before looking back and adjusting her eyes, “like/like you like that?” Silver narrows her eyes and smirks, “Because of this!” before leaning forward to nuzzle Diamond, who repels her neck at first, before slowly and tentatively moving her snout forward to reciprocate the nuzzle, while gently purring and half-closing her blue eyes… Silver stops and recedes her head to smile at Diamond, “See?” Diamond narrows her eyes and mouth before saying sullenly, “That doesn’t mean anything!” Silver giggles slightly, “Oh, but I think this does!” before moving her face to Diamond’s to chance another passionate peck! Diamond draws her head back before shouting, “DON’T YOU DARE, TRY TO KISS ME!” Silver brings her head back and smiles, “Oh, you can’t hold out forever Diamond! You know what you felt!” Diamond widens her eyes, “You don’t know anything about me! Now get out!” Silver sighs longingly to the right and stares back at Diamond, “Okay sweetie… I’ll leave for now… But I’ll be back!” “LEAVE! NOW!” Diamond loudly screams. Silver sighs again and looks deep into Diamond’s eyes, “Bye, for now, darling!” before turning left to trot back through Diamond’s foyer for 20 feet and then, reaching her doorknob to her tan wooden front door at the bottom-right to open it with her mouth and trotting outside. She turns to face Diamond, now staring at her by turning her head right from the kitchen chair, “I’ll be back, dearest!” before turning and trotting away… Diamond gets off the chair quickly and rapidly trots to the door to slam it with her left forehoof and angrily huffs. Just WHO does that Silver Spoon think she is, anyway? She thinks to herself as rage begins to boil just under the surface… <*****> (Saturday) The very next morning, at around 8:00 AM, Diamond opens her front door to collect the newspaper once more, shortly after hearing the telltale thud of it hitting her entrance. She sees a gray earth mare there, with a lighter mane and tail smiling at her from her doorstep! The mare has a 7-inch-wide red heart-shaped box of chocolates underneath a green plastic bouquet of a dozen roses on her back, open to the front as she widens her purple eyes from behind her blue glasses and says, “Morning, Diamond! I just wanted to…” She’s not allowed to finish speaking before Diamond slams the door in her face with her right forehoof… Silver can audibly be heard yelling from the outside, “You’re doing it again Diamond Tiara! You’re not letting me finish!” A moment later, the door opens as Diamond operates it with her left forehoof to bring it all the way open and she stares back at the gray mare with wide blue eyes, before gulping and saying, “Y-you’re right Silver Spoon…” she closes her eyes before opening her gaze to Silver, “I’m doing it again, aren’t I? I’m not letting you finish… I uh, I’m sorry…” Silver widens her eyes while leaning forward, “Why are you so stubborn?” Diamond blinks, “I-I don’t know?” Her mouth scrunches, “I… guess I’d have to be to deal with everything I’ve faced?” before frowning. At this point, a realization dawns on Silver as she eyes the pink mare carefully, “You had to be stubborn to deal with your mom, right?” Diamond smiles slightly as she chuckles sardonically, “Y-yeah, I guess so?” she looks at Silver, “You wanna come in? There’s coffee and donuts?” Silver smiles, “Yeah Diamond… That sounds nice! I’d like that!” before trotting forward as Diamond makes way for her by moving to the back right, opposite her door. As Silver Spoon passes, Diamond contemplates nuzzling and kissing her again… Silver trots past the pink mare as Diamond turns her head left to stare at her gracefully elegant form and sexy cutie mark trotting in at her left and says, “Uh, thanks for the flowers and chocolates, Silver Spoon!” she smiles, “I guess you do like me?” Silver trots over to the table and uses her neck and teeth to put the flowers and candy down on it, before turning her body and facing Diamond and staring deep into her blue eyes from 8 feet away, “I’ve liked you for some time now, Diamond Tiara…” Diamond takes a pace towards Silver as she stares into her purple eyes, behind their stylish spectacles from 6 feet away, “I…had no idea!” Silver smiles slightly as she faintly giggles, “Ever since we were foals, I loved being around you…” she smiles wider, “My best friend and playmate!” Diamond frowns, “And now, you want a lover?” Silver takes a pace towards Diamond with her right forehoof as she continues to stare into her azure eyes, “I think I do!” Diamond narrows her eyes and mouth, “Seriously! Complete moron!” Silver giggles as she suddenly trots towards the pink mare from a mere 4 feet away to kiss her passionately, as Diamond widens her blue eyes at the thought of this idiotic and stupid gray mare, actually having the gall, the sheer audacity, to love her! Silver brings her head back as she smiles and giggles before leaning forward to chance a nuzzle a Diamond that no longer resists her at this point, as she says whimsically and squeaky, “So, how do you feel about me?” Diamond widens her eyes and says unsure, “I’m not sure? And why are you talking like that?” Silver nuzzles her closely again and chances another small peck on Diamond’s soft pink lips before smiling at her… “Stop kissing me!” “Make me! He he!” Silver says squeakily and cutely as she smiles and nuzzles Diamond while giggling softly, and the pink pony’s eyes close slightly and she can only surrender to the sudden onslaught of affection brought on by her former best friend with another chancy nuzzle by Silver Spoon. Diamond frowns at the gray pony, “So uh, since we were foals?” Silver looks into Diamond’s blue eyes with her violet pupils and smiles back at her from a few short inches away, “Mhm! I’ve always liked you… When we patched that fence for the playground together was probably one of the happiest moments of my life!” she smiles wider, “Because I was with you, my best friend!” Diamond can only blink at her purple gaze, “I-I didn’t know you’d go this far!” “It’s so weird though…” Silver says as a frown forms on her face and her eyes stay straightforward. “What?” Diamond asks back while keeping her gaze solidly on the other mare. Silver sighs, “That I never really realized how much I’d miss you or what you really meant to me until you left for Canterlot, all that time ago…” Diamond gulps and closes her soft navy eyes, “I-I should’ve written you…” she opens them to the other pony, “And I’m sorry for not…” Silver smiles somewhat and giggles slightly, “Well, I could’ve very easily come to see you, you know? I can take a train and I know where the school is!” she sighs, “But that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you, Diamond!” she smiles wider, “This is a new time and we get a redo, now!” Diamond widens her eyes, “Right! The new improved Diamond/Silver pairing, now with extra hugging and additional nuzzling, and a LOT more kissing!” Silver giggles hysterically at the witty remark before calming down enough to stammer out, “Y-yeah! That!” Diamond can only shake her head and move her eyes skyward as she silently whispers, “WHY?” to herself… Silver chances another soft nuzzle on Diamond’s nose before smiling and saying whimsically, “Because I love you!” Diamond stares at the other mare intently and frowns as she says at a slightly lower and unsure volume, “There’s a mares-only club on the East side of town! Can’t you go bother some of the pretty female ponies there, instead?” Silver giggles and smiles again before saying in her cutesy voice, “Nope! I want you, Diamond Tiara!” Diamond widens her eyes, “And you’re not just gonna go away?” Silver giggles again before repeating herself in the same mawkish voice, “Nope!” Diamond stares back at the smiling gray pony and considers her carefully, before finally asking, “Well uh, what do you wanna do, now?” Silver smiles, “Do you really want to know?” Diamond widens her eyes, “You’re so affectionate, all of a sudden!” Silver nuzzles Diamond and looks into her eyes, “You have no idea how long I’ve been keeping all of this inside!” Diamond keeps her gaze on the other pony as her mouth shrinks and she says lower, “You don’t say?” Silver continues to smile, “Yup!” before kissing Diamond again on the lips as the pink pony widens her azure eyes in shock, once more! Silver brings her face back and Diamond asks cautiously, “Um, should we just have a ‘make-out session’ or whatever, and just get this over with, already?” The idea strikes Silver Spoon’s mind like a thunderbolt as she widens her eyes and her mouth narrows in anticipation, “Actually, I really like that idea a lot!” Diamond widens her eyes again at the gray mare, “Oh Celestia! I was joking! I uh…” she eyes Silver Spoon there, smiling at her with her gorgeous purple eyes behind the same blue fashion glasses without temples as before, only this time, she sees her in an entirely different light. She smirks slightly before chancing another nuzzle to the silver maned earth mare, who reciprocates it with her violet eyes half-closed and a small smile on her face, and only then, did it begin to dawn on the pink mare just what has happened and how her old friend truly felt about her… <*****> Diamond Tiara sat on her haunches on the right side of her green couch. Silver Spoon sat beside her with her head turned in her direction and smiling at the pink earth mare, currently looking her way with a frown and confused look in her wide eyes… Diamond gulps, “So uh, I’m actually going through with this, or?” Silver doesn’t give her a chance to finish as she leans forward and half closes her eyes, now without her glasses, and purses her lips to plant a passionate kiss on Diamond’s! Diamond widens her eyes as she feels electricity through her lips, and she suddenly begins to feel very close to the silver mare. Silver Spoon moves her forehooves around the pink mare to embrace her in a warm hug as passion and electricity flow from her lips into Diamond Tiara. Diamond feels her muscles begin to loosen as the desire from the silver mare ignites into her heart and soul and she suddenly feels heat coming from between her hind legs. Silver holds Diamond closer to her while keeping her lips firmly planted on the pink mare’s and her tongue slowly slides to penetrate Diamond’s mouth and go inside where it dances with the pink mare’s in a playful dance as her heart quickens it’s pace and begins to flutter within her chest and her loins soon begin to yearn for this other pony. She soon brings her head back to smile at the other mare, with her purple eyes now wide open and her face bright with glee as she finally has the one thing she’s always longed for… Diamond can only sit there in the other pony’s hooves, with her eyes wide and mouth agape… Silver moves closer to nuzzle Diamond’s nose with her own while giggling. “W-what is wrong with you?” Diamond nervously asks while staring wide-eyed at the other mare. Silver smiles from 2 inches away, facing the pink mare, “I love you!” “Really?” Silver nods, “Yup” before leaning slightly closer to nuzzle Diamond while continuing to smile… Diamond pensively asks, “Does this mean we’re gonna have sex?” Silver snickers, “Well, I wasn’t planning on it, but uh, if you’re up for it?” Diamond widens her eyes all the way, “OH DEAR CELESTIA!” Silver giggles more as she nuzzles Diamond and leans an extra inch for another passionate kiss. Diamond feels the molten passion coming from the other mare as she brings her arms around the pink mare for another close cozy embrace. Silver disengages her lips from Diamond’s to nuzzle her again. Diamond pensively asks with her blue eyes, still wide and firmly affixed to the other pony, “No sex, right?” Silver’s eyes widen, “Well, I’d be lying if I said the thought hadn’t occurred to me and you do have that high and tight rump, I like, but…” Diamond’s eyes widen once more, “OH SWEET LUNA!” Silver giggles again as she leans forward to lightly snuggle Diamond, “But I don’t think we’re quite there yet, sweetie!” before softly kissing Diamond once more and then, bringing the pink mare closer for a cozy loving hug while whispering in her left ear, “I missed you, best friend!” (To be continued…)
