Sitting in class the next day, Diamond Tiara couldn’t decide what to do. After staying up most the night trying to come up with a plan, she was no closer than she was after her talk with Rarity. She was still afraid that she’d be digging her own grave if she told Silver Spoon herself. She began to fantasize about how different scenarios would play out.
She’d wait until after school to meet up with her friend. “Silver Spoon I need to talk to you.”
“Sure DT what’s up.”
“Well, I need to tell you about why I’ve been lying to you lately.”
“Okay, so what’s that”
“Silver” She’d choke up. “I play been playing that game Minecraft.”
“You’ve been what?!” Her head shook and suddenly Silver Spoon’s head began burst.
“Silver Spoon what have I done!?” She yelled out.
“Diamond Tiara? Diamond Tiara!” Suddenly miss Cherilee brought Diamond Tiara back from her fear-induced nightmare. “Would you mind answering number four on the homework for us?” Cherilee tested to see whether Diamond Tiara was paying attention.
Diamond Tiara, back to reality, shouted out what she hoped would be a lucky guess. “Uhm I got Seven?”
“The answer you got for ‘What is the proper purpose of an adjective?’ is seven?” The class laughed at her inability to focus. “Settle down class, and Diamond Tiara do make sure to pay more attention.”
After class finally ended Diamond Tiara made her way over to Silver Spoon.
“Hey Silver I need to talk to you.”
“Sure DT, anything you need.”
“Well I…umm... it’s just…nothing, forget about it.” She couldn’t do it, she was too afraid to tell her. “I have to go home, daddy needs my help with something.”
“Okay well I guess I see you later.” Silver Spoon looked at the ground clearly disappointed with herself for some reason, which Diamond Tiara never caught.
Diamond Tiara turned to walk away and saw an approaching Sweetie Belle and Rarity, who was carrying the laptop she forgot yesterday.
“Hi, Diamond you forgot your laptop at my house yesterday, my sister wanted to make sure it go to back to you.”
“Thanks.” Diamond Tiara had mostly forgotten about her computer and was too focused on her ever-weakening situation.
“Do you wanna come over again and play?” Sweetie Belle excitingly asked.
“I…uh can’t…I’m busy”
“Okay then some other time.”
Rarity noticed it was clear Diamond Tiara hadn’t told Silver Spoon about her secret. She then looked at the pink filly, and with her head nodded over to Silver Spoon.
“I didn’t, I just couldn’t.” She told Rarity.
Rarity gave a look which specifically asked ‘why not?’
“I can’t” Diamond looked at the ground disappointed in herself.
Rarity gave up, she had to do something herself. She walked Diamond Tiara over to Silver Spoon “Silver Spoon I believe Diamond Tiara has something she needs to tell you. Go ahead Diamond.” She pushed the filly.
“I uhm.. I… I…I like Minecraft okay, there I said it I love that game, it’s just so much fun. You can do a million things and build everything you want. I’m sorry Silver but I had to tell you.” She nervously awaited a response from the confused grey filly.
“You like Minecraft, really? I thought you’d hate it.”
“Well I actually love it, its so much fun.”
“You mean I’ve been keeping this a secret from you all this time for no reason?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Diamond I love that game too, I started playing it on Saturday and I feel in love with it, but I was afraid to tell you, cause I thought you’d call me a nerd. So I began making up ridiculous lies”
“That’s crazy where would you ever get that idea?”
Rarity rolled her eyes.
“So if we both like the game why don’t you come over to my house and we can play it?” Silver asked.
“Sure that sound like a great idea, I already have my laptop, it’s gonna be so much fun. I can show you all the things that Sweetie Bel..” Suddenly Diamond remembered Sweetie Belle, sure they weren’t as close as she was with Silver Spoon, but she thought of Sweetie Belle as a friend now.
“Actually Silver why don’t you go grab your laptop and meet me over a Sweetie Belle’s place. She could teach you a thing or two, besides you have to see her ‘weak ass’ machine that’s more powerful than both our laptops combined.”
The End.
