She's just in a bit of a bad mood, she'll soon be back to her normal self. My Spoony could never be angry with me for very long, that's not like her. I suppose I should better do what she says and go and find Alula. I do like being with Alula, but what pony could compare with Silver? Now, if I was Alula, where would I go? She remembered how she and Silver had found and befriended the Pegasus, who was of the same social class as they were, and shown her all the good shops in Ponyville. After looking for her in Rarity's Boutique, she found her in Haughty Couture admiring the dresses and saddlebags. "Silver's in a bit of a bad mood...would you like some preening time back at my mansion?" she asked.

Alula smiled. "Yes please. One of the few downsides to being able to fly is that my wings take so much work to keep them in a proper flying condition." Diamond spent the next hour talking with Alula and preening her feathers with her hooves and mouth, and Alula appreciated the attention. But it was not as much fun for her as being with Silver Spoon. I'll visit Silver tonight, I have a key to her mansion after all, freely given after all. I must be the only non-Spoon with such a key. And why not, after all? I've been her best friend since kindergarten and her very special somepony for two years, she belongs to me. She's as  much mine as my cutie mark. And that is never going to change, I won't let it change.


Meanwhile Silver Spoon spent the day quietly at home, looking at pictures of her father and her, some of them dating back to when she was a little foal without her cutie mark, and thinking back to the happy times when they were together. That evening her mother came up to her bedroom. "I know that you have not been sleeping well, honey, so I've brought you a sleeping pill. I won't try and force it on you, but I do think you need your sleep." Normally Silver would have objected at the idea of being forced to sleep, as she was a bit of a night owl, but she was so unhappy that she decided sleep would at least take the sadness away until she woke up the next day. She took the pill and her mother kissed her goodnight, and soon she was firmly in a drugged slumber.



Not long afterwards Diamond Tiara let herself into the Spoon mansion through the back door. A servant saw her but as she was so often a visitor assumed she was allowed to stay without even being questioned. She quietly made her way up to Silver Spoon's bedroom and walked up to her. "Good evening, my love." Silver let out a sigh in her sleep. Diamond's eyes narrowed when she saw the sleeping pills. You're weak, Silver Spoon, but hey, maybe I can take this to my advantage. A bit of spooning with my Spoony won't hurt.  She got into bed with Silver and cuddled close to her, wrapping her hooves around her. She looks so cute and sweet right now. A kiss would not hurt. She kissed Silver's forehead, her muzzle, her soft lips, and was kissing down her neck when she forced herself to stop. I'll just rest for a little and then I'll go home and Silver need never know about my snuggling with her. But the bed was so soft and warm and Diamond so loved being next to Silver Spoon that her eyes fell closed and she fell asleep with her hooves around Silver's soft warm body.

She was woken by a scream from Silver Spoon. "DIAMOND TIARA-what are you doing in my BED?! What part of being   left alone do you not understand?" Silver was glaring at her, her cheeks ruddy red with anger.

Diamond replied  with just as much passion in her voice "You're my best friend, my fillyfriend, my very special somepony. You mean everything to me. Have you forgotten the vow of sisterhood we took back in kindergarten to stay together forever? I can't leave you, I just can't. Why can't you love me like you used to? And why are you taking sleeping pills when you should be staying up late to be with me?"

"What did you do with me when I was....out? Did you touch me down there?" Silver demanded to know.

"I spooned with you, that's all. I held you in my hooves and it felt wonderful. Oh, and I also kissed you. A few times. But not below the neck."

"Diamond, I'm taking sleeping pills because otherwise I'd spend the whole night crying for my father. My dead father, And I'll have to ask for your key to the Spoon mansion. Yes, you were a great fillyfriend in the past, and we loved each other and had some great times with each other. Thank you for that. But I can't cope with you right now and...I think we should stop seeing each other. Your fillyfriend status is revoked as from now. You are no longer my special somepony. Give me the key and go, before I order my servants to take it from you and throw you out . You and me are over."

Diamond Tiara looked as if she was going to cry. "If I'm out in bad standing, then....couldn't I have one last kiss on my forehead? And one last bump, bump, sugar lump rump?"

Silver Spoon sighed. "All right, as long as you hand over the key and don't make a scene." Diamond nodded, did as she was told, and Silver pressed a single quick kiss on her forehead. "Bump, bump, sugar lump rump!" She did their little dance one last time. If it makes my ex go quietly

Diamond's reply was slow and halting. "Bump...bump...sugar...lump...rump." Tears were gathering in her eyes as she left the Spoon mansion, without the key to get back in. How could she have done this to me, after all we meant to each other? On her way home she passed a toy store, and stopped when she saw a silver-coloured pony plushie in the window. Her sad mouth curved up in a smile when she saw it and she went inside. "How much is that plushie in  the window? I'd like to buy a cloth cutie mark for it please....a spoon cutie mark. A silver spoon cutie mark." She left the shop with the large plushie stuffed in her saddlebag. "Silver Spoon, let's go back home and fix your awkward cutie mark problem, I can't be seen talking with a blank flank after all. And then we'll have a lovely time together and you can sleep over at my mansion every single night. I'm so pleased that you decided to take me back as your fillyfriend."
