The fog clears up and Diamond finds herself back in her room standing on top of the bed. The clock strikes 3 and Diamond looks at it.
“Oh no the last ghost could be here any second. I learned my lesson please just let me have my sleep.” She said but there was no response.
Darkness covers the room. Diamond runs out of her bed and goes out the door. She runs to the front of her house and opens the front door and walks through the heavy snow. There was no tree or house in sight. As she looked behind her, her house was gone.
As she looked back in front of her, there was a pony that was wearing a black cape and a hoody. Diamond could not identify the pony because there was no light on her face.
“Who are you?” Diamond asked scared and cold
The pony pulls the hoodie off of her and Diamond identified her.
“Rainbow Dash?” Diamond questioned
“Well I hear that you’re the pony that has been ruining Hearth's Warming,” she said angrily
“Please spare me, I will do anything, I swear?” Diamond begged for mercy
“Here it what I want you to do. I want you to come with me to the future and I will tell you what you need to do,” Rainbow suggested
“But I don’t want to come with you please I need my sleep.”
Rainbow ignored Diamond and grabbed onto her hoof. Rainbow lifts her off the ground. Fog covers the area, once it cleared up they both landed on the ground. Diamond looks around, there were grave stones everywhere. It was snowing very light, but a blanket covered the ground.
Rainbow looks at her, “Look over there Diamond.”
Diamond looks and finds Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell standing and crying.
“Are group leader has died, she never got the surgery in time,” Scootaloo cried
“I have to thank you guys for being here. Today we remember Apple Bloom who died 2 years ago. She was a very good sister and she made an important role in all of our lives. Now we will take a moment of silence and think about what she has done in our lives,” Applejack announced
Everypony closed their eyes and go into deep thought.
“Apple Bloom died because of me,” Diamond cried
“That’s not the only pony that died look over there,” Rainbow suggested
Diamond looks and finds her dad crying over a grave. It was like he was missing something in his life.
“I loved her so much, now she’s gone, forever,” he cried
“Who died Rainbow?” Diamond asked
“Find out for yourself,” Rainbow demanded
Diamond slowly walks to the grave as she crushes threw the snow. She looks closely at the grave; it was kind of faded so it was hard to read. But what it said on their surprised her.
RIP Diamond Tiara
“How could this happen? How did I die?” she asked
“After Apple Bloom died soon the whole town knew about your tiara scandal. You were alone every day because no pony would hang out with you anymore. So you felt sad every day and night. There was not a lot of love in your heart all there was sadness. So your heart died out,” Rainbow answered
“I don’t want to end up like Derpy or me in the future. I use to think that dad hated me but I understand now, he never had a lot of time to spin with me,” Diamond cried
“It’s never too late Diamond; you can change your ways right now. You can change the future and keep this future from happening,” Rainbow suggested
“But how can I change?”
“You’re going to have to figure that out on your own.”
Rainbow pushes Diamond into an empty grave.
“EEEECCCKKK,” she yelled
She fall and falls, it seemed like it was a bottomless pit. Then a lava poll appeared below her and she falls into the burning poll.
All of sudden she sees her room and herself asleep below her; it was like she was separated from her own body. She falls on herself and hits the soft bed below her, she rumbles under the covers. She peeks out from under the covers, there was a bright light creeping into the room. She opens the window and looks outside. It was Hearth’s Warming Day and snow was on the ground, ponies giving presents to each other.
“What does Heart Warming mean to everypony? Maybe it’s not about you, it’s about other ponies. Maybe giving is the true meaning of Heart Warming.” Diamond thought
He dad walks into the room. “Diamond, good morning, we need to go to Canterlot for the party.” Filthy said
Diamond grabs the tiara in the back of her closet and puts it in her bag. She runs out of the house and runs toward the hospital. In the blazing snow she was cold but she could not give up. She walks into the front door.
“Merry Hearth’s Warming, sorry we're closed for appointments but visiting hours today is all day,” said the pony at the reception desk
“I need to see Apple Bloom if she’s still here,” Diamond asked
“You can see her, she is in room 16B, and Applejack is there right now,” she informed
“Thanks.” Diamond walks into the hallway looking at all of the numbers to find out where is Apple Bloom’s room.
Diamond walks into the room. Applejack looks at her like she was suspicious.
“You are a very bad filly. You stole something from use any you need to give that back,” she demanded
“Yes and I’m very sorry about that and I what to apologies for my actions. I’m giving this tiara back and hope for you forgiveness,” Diamond said
Applejack smiles. “I forgive you Diamond Tiara.”
“Hopefully Apple Bloom gets better soon,” Diamond said
“Thank you,” Applejack said
“I got to go. I need to go to Canterlot.” Diamond starts running home. She felt happier inside. Was this the feeling of giving? I’m not use to it feeling, I like it a lot, she thought.
Diamond ran home and her dad was waiting for her in the carriage.
“Where were you?” he asked.
“Hospital, I had to go see somepony.”
“I’m glad you care for them at least.”
Her dad commanded the stallions to move. They quickly move toward Canterlot. About 2 hours later they reach the capital city. There were red and green balloons everywhere. The town was decorated with red and green streamers. There were actually ponies dressed up in red and green sweaters. There was white snow on the ground. They head toward town square and everypony is gathered. Diamond steps out of the carriage. She looks around and enjoys the sight around her. On top of the castle steps sat both Princess Celestia and Luna welcoming ponies into the castle. Diamond and Filthy climb the steps of the castle. The Princesses welcome them.
“Hi, glad you can join us,” Luna said in excitement
“Hello Diamond. Did you get a great sleep last night,” Celestia asked as she smiled. Diamond started to think that she had something to do with the dream she had last night when she went into the past, present, and future.
Luna looked at her sister. “What are you talking about?”
“I guess it was- it was… weird,” Diamond stuttered. Diamond ran inside and tried to forget what she just said.
“What’s going on sis,” Luna asked
“Yesterday you know the spirit necklaces we had. I gave them to Twilight, Pinkie, and Rainbow and they used them to take Diamond to her past, present, and future. They did that to help her understand the true meaning of Hearth's Warming,” Celestia explained.
“I get it now. Next time though I’m doing that,” Luna replied
Meanwhile at the party, Diamond was getting herself a drink of punch in the ballroom. Two filly right behind her, recognized her.
“Hello Diamond Tiara,” said a fumier voice. Diamond looks behind her and finds Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell standing there. “Did you give that tiara back? Apple Bloom’s live depends on it,” Scootaloo huffed
“Listen, I’m sorry for my actions yesterday. Before I left to come here I stopped by the hospital and dropped the tiara off. Also Scootaloo I got the present that I kept yesterday. I’m sorry for that. I should have never thought about myself. But all I’m asking is for your forgiveness,” Diamond said as she looked down.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell looked at each other and smiled.
“It’s ok,” Sweetie Bell said. They both hugged the rich earth pony as she cried.
“Thank you,” said Diamond. Right above them, Twilight, Rainbow, and Pinkie are watching Diamond. They were spirits so no pony could see them.
“I think we just changed the future,” Twilight said
“I know but this is so sad. And I want to be part of this party,” Pinkie cried. She started tearing up. Rainbow tried to confer her. “Pinkie it’s ok. We have a party back at home to attend.”
Pinkie stops crying. “Then what are we waiting for, let’s go.”
Pinkie flies thru the wall excited. Twilight and Rainbow followed her back to Ponyville. And everypony lived happily ever after.
