//------------------------------// // are you a diamond or a mouse!? // Story: Ponies and Mons // by ezio dementay //------------------------------// And the chapter everyone wanted to see is… Diamond Tiara and Marill? Huh, I was guessing everyone would say something like Dialga and Apple Bloom, ahh well. By the way, interesting fact, I had a level 55 Wailord when I played through emerald the first time, this was when I was I think seven or eight years old and I named it fluffy. Don’t ask why, I was a weird child. A young Diamond Tiara was getting ready for a trip downtown to buy herself some clothes as she usually did, grabbing her “custom” made Tiara with “real” Diamonds on them, styling her mane and grabbing a mirror to check that her face was adorned with more makeup than a model on a fashion show, but she thought she looked nice, though to other ponies her age she looked like a primed up doll. She left her home, nose high in the air, thinking it makes her look posh but in reality, it looks rather dumb and rather snotty to all other ponies, till she saw Apple Bloom with her big light blue snake, the snake wrapping itself around Apple Bloom and giving her a big loving hug, which was more of a squeeze but Apple Bloom seemed to like it. So now it was Diamond Tiara’s job, well in her mind at least, to ruin this happy moment because… she had no reason, she just wanted to ruin a happy moment. She walked close enough to Apple Bloom so she would notice and hear what Diamond Tiara was going to say “oh Apple Bloom, your snake would make a lovely leather-“suddenly a blast of water hit Tiara, and sent her flying away from Apple Bloom, with a blue ball rolling on the ground with a tail that also had a little ball on it, followed Tiara. Apple Bloom was trying to comprehend what just happened “Dratini, did you see what just happened?” Dratini nodded and seemed confused, but Apple Bloom had a idea “I reckon I have a idea…” she had a playfully evil grin on her face, a evil laugh coming out of Apple Bloom, with Dratini trying laugh evilly as well, but instead giggling adorable “you can’t be evil Dratini, your too cute!” Apple Bloom hugged Dratini and they both went off to commence their plans… Meanwhile, Tiara had landed in beehive and was running around from the bee’s that were chasing her mane filled with honey, the bee’s wanted the honey back, and willing to cut off… a fillies mane in the process to get it if they must! “Go away you vermin!” Tiara screamed loudly to herself, till the blue rolling ball with a tail appeared and stopped rolling, revealing itself to be a very fat blue mouse with a tail with a blue ball on it, with the mouse spraying water at the bee’s, sending them back into the hive with one shot. Tiara looked at the mouse with confusion, but then it rolled over to Tiara and gave her a big hug, which surprised Tiara as hugs were a rare thing for her, even when sliver spoon was her friend she rarely hugged her, due to the fact of Tiara dislike for germs, and once she remembered that, she leapt away from the blue mouse. “Eww! Now I’m covered in blue mouse germs!” the mouse smiled and blasted Tiara with blast of clear water that cleaned Tiara fully, leaving no trace of any form of dirt, mud or blue mouse germs, with the mouse rolling over and hugging Tiara, saying “Marill!” in joy, hugging Tiara tighter again and again, giving Tiara plenty of loving hugs. “This is nice, but please let go, I would like my personal space” Tiara said in a posh tone, with Marill letting go and feeling sad, all her love and hugs ignored for the only reason that Tiara was in general not a nice pony, but Marill would have to try and make her a nice pony. Suddenly, Tiara saw in the distance Apple Bloom with her Dratini, but Apple Bloom seemed to be wearing the most farm clothes she could find, from scarecrow clothes, to a big cowboy hat, to having a lasso, to have a piece of wheat in her mouth like some cow colts or fillies do, all of which was making Tiara’s brain scream “must insult Apple Bloom, must insult Apple Bloom!” (Just a minor note here, I’m so sorry if I offend anyone with a western accent or a cowboy accent, just saying that in advance) “Well howdy there Tiara, what ya reckon of my fancy pantsy new garments? Why I got these from the farmers market!” Apple Bloom said in the most western accent she could manage, with Tiara trying very hard to avoid saying anything mean, but the insults were too hard to avoid. “Apple Bloom your-“ and then Marill fired a blast of water at Tiara, sending her flying away again from the blast, with Apple Bloom laughing a little to herself, but Marill was a bit worried she over did it, so she rolled into a ball and followed Tiara to the area she crashed. “That went too well, I think we should head back…” Apple Bloom said in a nervous and guilty tone, with Dratini looking confused and wrapping herself around Apple Bloom and dragging her too were Diamond Tiara landed, with Apple Bloom squirming a little, guessing that Dratini wanted her to apologise to Tiara, something that Apple Bloom would try to avoid at all costs. “Ooh…my head hurts, mommy, your little Diamond hurt her head again” Tiara said in a dazed mood, she had hit her head on something fairly hard and was now both dazed and confused, but she could still walk and talk normally, she was just acting different, weirdly different, like somehow she had become a different pony. Marill rolled to Tiara and gave her a big warm hug to say sorry for blasting you with a blast of water, here’s a hug to make up for it, but Tiara hugged back surprisingly, enjoying the warmth of the hug and giggling as well like a little filly would when making a friend, or being tickled “hi there Mrs mouse! Can I tell you a secret?” Marill nodded and smiled happily at Tiara, nibbling on its little hand for the fact it was a bit hungry. “Well, since my other buddy silver spoon left, I don’t have any buddy’s, will you be my friend? Please? I’ll give you hugs, lots of hugs!” Tiara said in a begging but happy tone, hugging Marill again so tightly that Marill fired another blast of water out of her mouth, blasting through a tree, with something falling out of the tree, but no pony saw what it was so no one bothered to check it out. Apple Bloom finally arrived, against her will, but she finally arrived nonetheless, with Diamond Tiara smiling happily at Apple Bloom, not a single cell of snooty or snobby behaviour was in Diamond Tiara’s expression, which surprised Tiara but Apple Bloom had to apologize and so to get it out of the way too “Tiara I’m sorry for-“ “Why are you sorry? I’m the big meanie pants who was mean to you and other two, I’m sorry for everything, I don’t know what got into me, but oh well, can we start again?” Apple Bloom was so surprised she backed away eleven spaces and looked at Tiara with disbelief. “What!? After all you have done, ya want me to start over with ya?! Why would i?” Tiara thought this over quickly and leapt on Apple Bloom in a tight hug, not as tight as the one on Marill but tight nonetheless. “I’ll be your buddy! I won’t be a big old meanie pants any more, for now on I’m the opposite of a big old meanie pants, I’m a young happy shirt!” Apple Bloom took a minute to think this over, before coming to the conclusion that a maybe insane Diamond Tiara is better than a bully Tiara any day of the week, so she returned the hug, with Marill joining in the hug, and so did Dratini, doubling the strength of the hug in general, before accidently hugging too tightly and making Apple Bloom faint by accident, as did Tiara too when she saw Apple Bloom faint. Marill grabbing Tiara in her little paws and took Tiara back home, while Dratini did the same with Apple Bloom, dragging her back home as gently as possible in the evening of the equestrian day, getting home in no time and laying on the hay to enjoy a little nap. And that’s the end of this chapter… or is it!? The object that had fallen out of the tree started to move and shake, the object cracked open and something of unspeakable power and evil opened from the object, it roared so loudly that all the animals in the forest ran for cover, a monster has been released onto the equestrian soil. Man I love this story.
