Silver Spoon softly began running her hooves down Diamond Tiara's flanks and kissing her softly at the same time. The kisses were gentle, soft, sweet, Silver not wanting to make them too passionate yet. There would be plenty of time for that later on, when she was sure that Diamond loved her. Then she licked Diamond Tiara's cutie mark and it had a cool, metallic taste. Diamond giggled as Silver continued to lick the cutie mark and wiggled a little. "I wouldn't lick that if I were you...Mum had it gilded recently. She likes me to look my best."
"Ewwwww. ewww, yuck!" Diamond could not help giggling at the look on her friend's face when she realized she had been licking silver leaf.
Silver looked deeply into the eyes of her best friend and lover. "I'm worried. What will your parents say if we announce that we are in love? Will they be horrified? I would think they would be expecting you to produce an heir? Not that I would mind one day having your foals, but we are both mares, so I can't.."
"Oh, they'll get used to it." And no wonder, they are the ones that set this whole thing up in the first place. But I'm very pleased that they did, because now I'm in love with you for real.
"If someone had told me when I was a foal and first met you, that one day you and I would be a happily dating couple, I would have laughed in their face. But really, the more I get to know you, the deeper my love for you gets. You and me are two of the same kind, we hold the same views, and the fact that you're so pretty does not hurt. I'd better get back home, Mummy gets so scared when I stay out on my own late at night, even more so since that Changeling attack on Canterlot. She thinks one or more of the changelings are still around and would see me as a good target, or that somepony would mug me for my bits, even though violent crime is almost unheard of in Ponyville. Goodbye, my precious Diamond ." She gave Diamond a long kiss goodbye and trotted home, her head full of images of her true love.
She had a big smile on her face when a servant let her in. "Mummy, Daddy, your plan worked perfectly. Not only is Diamond Tiara totally in love with me, but I am totally, genuinely in love with her. Thank you so much for helping me find my special somebody." Something was wrong, her parents despite the fact that had been their idea were not smiling and did not seem happy at all. "Mummy, Daddy, what's wrong? I did everything you said and I'm even in love for real."
Silver Tray said "Silver Spoon, we just had a change of plan. Prince Blueblood has shown interest in you and has told us that he will help us financially if...you agree to become his marefriend."
Silver Spoon stared in horror at her parents and screwed up her face in disgust. "What? I cannot believe what I am hearing.
First, he is more then twice my age. He also, from stories I've heard floating around, has a very low view of mares and thinks them inferior to stallions. And anyway, I'm taken, I am happily in love with Diamond Tiara and I want to stay in love with her. I'm not a....a sex toy for your amusement and the so called honor of the family. Falling in love with Diamond because you wanted to was one thing, I had no coltfriend or marefriend back then. But now I'm in love and I won't leave Diamond as long as she still loves me, not for you, not for anypony. Diamond is perfect for me and that is all that matters. I would rather be a...blank flank then lose her."
Silver Tray replied "You could still see Diamond behind Prince Blueblood's back, Prince Blueblood behind Diamond's back, and neither of them need know about each other."
Silver Spoon stomped her hoof on the floor in anger. "Mother, I am not a...a concubine, which is no doubt what Prince Blueblood wants me to be. I've found my special somepony, and that is final, and I will be informing Diamond Tiara of what you wanted me to do. If you throw me out of the family mansion, I will just go and move in with her."
Her father snapped "What if I was to disown you? Would she still want you then? I doubt it-if you were a poor pony she would kick you to the curb."
