//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: A Diamond's Debut // Story: Major Changes // by Chuckboy39 //------------------------------// Before the black hole. . . . in another world . . . . "So, who do you think still hasn't gotten there cutie marks yet?" My friend said as we were walking to our school with a lot of pride on our faces. "The apple one for sure." I said in a very sincere voice. "I swear, she's never going to get her cutie mark before our cutesenioara this weekend." My friend said as we both chuckled a little as we reached the school with time to spare. We both walked in and took our seats witch were almost next to each other but were in between the permanent blank-flank, Apple-what's-her-name. The classroom was just as lively as ever when the bell rang. "Lets quiet down please, we have a very important lesson to get to." Our teacher said as the class finally quieted down for once. "Thank you. Today, we are going to be talking about cutie marks." Our teacher said as she turned the page to her slideshow to show a bunch of cutie marks on the next piece of paper. "Boring." I said under my breath as I looked outside of the classroom window and saw that it was a really nice day outside. Too bad I couldn't go out and instead, had to sit through this waste of time. "You can all see my cutie mark, can't you?" Our teacher said as she showed the class the backside of her where they could see her cutie mark. "Like all pony's, I wasn't born with a cutie mark. My flank was blank." Our teacher said. "Aww, she's do pwesous." Another pony named Twist said. "Ugh, can't she just learn to speak like every pony else already." I rolled my eyes at this thought. "Then, one day when I was about you're age, I woke up to find that a cutie mark had appeared." Our teacher said as she showed the class a picture of herself with an embarrassing mane on her head. I couldn't keep myself together and nether could the entire class as we all broke out into laughter. "Look at her hair." I said as we continued to laugh. Our teacher rolled her eyes in what seemed to be a happy look on her face. "Yes I know but that's how every pony was wearing there manes back then. I had decided to become a teacher and the flowers symbolized my hope that I could help my future students bloom if I natured them with knowledge-." Our teacher said as she continued her lesson. I was getting more and more bored by the second and was starting to zone out a little. I looked over to my friend who was looking at her hooves with a bored-ish face. I heard Twist say: "When she discovewed that cewtain something that makes her speciaw." I looked over at Apple...Bloom, (I think that was her name but I don't care to call her that) and started to call her attention, away from her notes. "Psst...psst" I whispered as Applebloom turned her attention to me. "What?" Applebloom whispered back in a quiet, yet loud voice for a whisper. I then reached into my desk and put a small, note sized piece of paper in my teeth and tried to act casual as I passed it to Applebloom. At this point, my friend caught what I was doing and followed along as I wanted as she signaled Applebloom to pass then note to her. Just as Applebloom was taking the note from my mouth, our eagle eye teacher caught her in the act. "Applebloom!" Our teacher exclaimed as my face went from bored to exited as I knew what was about to happen next. "Are you passing a note?" Our teacher asked as Applebloom dropped the note in sheer panic. "Uhh-" Applebloom said as she was at a loss for words. Our teacher then walked over to her with an annoyed look on her face as she said: "What could be so important that it couldn't wait until after class?" She then went to inspect the note to find something odd. "It's...blank." Our teacher said with a hint of confusion in her voice. At this point, I had to let it all out as I chuckled a little. "Remind you of anypony?" I asked as me and my friend laughed as Applebloom turned red at that very moment. Oh it was so satisfyingly entertaining to watch my plan work out in the end. It's what she gets for slaking on her cutie mark anyway. I guess Ms Cheerily had a good idea with the cutie mark presentation after all, well for the blank flanks anyway. Oh, right, I guess were doing this now. I don't know why I wanted to do this but I'm doing it. My name's Diamond Tiara. That right there is my right hoofed girl and my best friend, Sliver Spoon. We are what you would call, popular here at our school. We just go around and help the fellow blank flanks around us by pushing them into discovering there cutie marks and what not. I know it may look bad with Apple-what's-her-name back there but that was to get her moving in the right direction and all. So what if it's cruel and mean? It's in the family to be this way after all. I'm suppose to follow my family and do whatever the heck they tell me to do. After all, a beautiful, pink pony with a purple mane has to do what she can to make her name higher then those around her, right? Anyway, I'm sure to get more eyes on me with me and Sliver's cutesenioara coming up this weekend. All I ever wanted is to have my name in lights anyway. Now moving on, as much as I want to talk about my successes, that's all I have to say for now so to make a long story short, the rest of the day was me and Sliver talking about new jewelry that we were going to make our daddy's buy for us and coming up with names for those blank flanks. There was more talking from Cheerily but that's boring so I'll skip to the good part, the second the bell rang.
