//------------------------------// // A Royal Entry Thirteen // Story: The Diary of Diddy Discord // by DreamWings //------------------------------// Dear Diary, everything's going great. My new Mummy and Uncle La Loo (he told me I didn't have to call him Father if it didn't feel right for me) are really great too. Not only do I get two really nice parents but FOUR-- yes FOUR-- really cool brothers as well. And one of them, Galloway, is the same age as me. The great news is we both get along really well and the even greater news is, he loves to play Knights as well. He wants to be one of the King's most Loyal knights when he grows up and he's practicing really hard so that it comes true. Mummy and Sir La Loo have even signed me up to go to the same Knight training lessons as Galloway, so I'm going to be privately taught all the stuff they tried to teach us at the Military school. Apparently Uncle La Loo is dead impressed with my school report and how well I knew battle strategies. He says I'll be a good influence on his other 'layabout' sons. All of them had laughed when he's said that. Even Vain-- and he hardly laughs at any joke that isn't his own. My other two new brothers (oh, that feels so good to write. Brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers. Okay, I'll stop now. Brothers. Sneaked one in.) are Gregory Gareth, or GG for short, and Tender Heart, though most of the family just call him Tenny. They're both super awesome too. Tenny's the eldest. He's already working for the King part-time, shadowing the loyal magical advisor. Apparently that mare is really fun even though she's got such a hard job. I can't wait to meet her. I can't wait to meet everybody. Tomorrow I start my new school, with all new royaler, richer students. Aren't I going to feel posh Diary? You'll barely recognize me in my dapper new uniform (yeah, I think dapper sounds like 'diaper' too but GG said it made me fit in if I used it). It's-- well it's like this: It's a good drawing isn't it? Mummy said it was the best she'd ever seen. I stayed in the lines and everything. Well, mostly. Anyway I can't wait to be at school with Galloway. He keeps telling me about all of the fun stuff they do there. Apparently there's only one teacher we have to avoid but the others just let you get away with anything you want. Though it's not done for regals to pull idiotic jokes-- doesn't stop them doing them sometimes. So looking forward to it. The Headmaster seemed really nice when I met him. He treated me just like any other pony. And he called me Diddy. AND he gave me a WHOLE bag of lollipops. It was great. Oh, why can't tomorrow just be here already? I hate wating around like this. Makes me feel all giggly in the stomach. School is going-- ------------------------------------------------- Sorry Diary, Galloway came and asked if I wanted to play with his new sheilds he'd just got so I had to stop writing before. Everything's just so amazing here. Daddy would have loved it. Though he would have told me: "Now don't go and let it go to your head. You're still Diddy, right?". He's right. I still am. And I'm proud to be too. I never did manage to find out why the King and Queen did all of this for me. They keep sending me all sorts of goodies and treats. I've never seen so many bottles of Chocolate Milk before in my life. If the Pegasus' had any sense they would have made it rain chocolate milk by now. Everypony wants that to happen, not just me. Oo, and popcorn and candyfloss keep showing up on the doorstep as well. I sent some to Blankety at my old school. I can't believe I'm not there anymore. I've been there for months and now I've just gone and left. It feels weird. Sorry Diary, but I've really got to go to sleep now. The sooner I sleep, the sooner I wake up and go to school. SO EXCITED. I'm going to just go get some chocolate milk.
