//------------------------------// // Silver Spoon // Story: Pains of a Pony // by Sparkle Dust //------------------------------// "Hey, Silver!" Diamond Tiara was calling for her. "Oh, uh, hi, Diamond!" Silver Spoon called from out her window. "I'll be out in a second!" Silver's mother asked, "Silver Spoon, stay still so I can braid your mane!" Silver fiddled with her necklace, which she couldn't see very well because she didn't have her glasses on. She had told Diamond Tiara that she wore them to look good, and she insists that she would look better if she took them off. "Hurry up! We'll be late! God, you are sooooooo slow!" Diamond was really good at complaining at things. Silver Spoon grabbed her glasses and ran out the door. "Ugh! Finally! I thought you would never come out! So, you are coming to my party, right?" Diamond Tiara was also very persistent. "Yeah! Duh! Why wouldn't I be?" Silver was excited. The bell rang for class. They ran into the school. Later in class, she got a note from Diamond. I got the vodka and the smokes! Diamond was smirking. ************************************************* At the party, Silver Spoon was nervous, but she forgot all about it when she danced away. But at about 10 p.m, Diamond announced that there was vodka. Her father and mother were out of town, and her rich grandmother was playing her poker with other mares. Everyone crowded around the table. Silver decided to have one little taste. She sipped the shot glass and spit it out, along with the snacks she had been eating earlier. Everyone crowded around her. "OMG! Are you okay?" everyone was asking. "Yeah, I'm fine. It just went down the wrong hole, I guess." Silver lied. Somepony cleaned up the mess, and the party was continued. At 12 a.m, Diamond Tiara was...okay, wasted. She threw up at every corner, every 5 minutes. She bleached some random pony's hair, and then she brought out the cigarettes. She gave a lit one to Silver Spoon. She tried it, and choked. She felt woozy, and that was the last thing she remembers. *************************************************** Silver woke up with a terrible headache. Diamond was groaning. "We better clean up your party, before your parents come back." Silver groaned. "You can. I'm gonna-" Diamond Tiara threw up again. "Ugghhhhhhhh." Silver was cleaning up when Filthy Rich returned. "What in God's name happen here?!" he exclaimed. "A party. Don't worry, there were no drugs." Diamond said, suddenly appearing to feel fine. "Well,ok. Just clean up this mess! And... why in the -why do I smell vodka?" Filthy Rich sniffed again. "I don't know!" "Well,ok." he left the room. "Silver Spoon, what are we gonna do?!" Diamond grabbed a full bottle of vodka and began to chug it. "Diamond?! What the heck are you doing?!..." Silver asked. "Drowning myself in happiness.Of vodka." Diamond grabbed a new bottle. "Don't.You.Dare!!" Silver Spoon exclaimed. But it was too late. Diamond Tiara grabbed some pills from the medicine cabinets, and washed them down with vodka. "I am doing this because I caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-" Diamond passed out. "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!" Silver Spoon exclaimed. At the hospital, Silver Spoon and Filthy Rich were in the waiting room. The doctor walked out with news. "I am sorry, Mr. Rich. Diamond Tiara has....passed." He looked sorrowful. "NO! NO! NONONONONONONONONONONonoonoonooooooooooooo! WHY?! WHY-HY-HY-HY?!?!" Silver Spoon went crazy. Filthy Rich was crying, and then she realized that he was holding her. "Oh my Celestia! We heard what happened! I am soo sorry! I d-don't know what to say!" Silver Spoon's mother stormed in. Then Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack followed, all looking sorry. "Ah am soo sorry, sugarcube. Apple Bloom and her friends are on their way now. If there's anythang Apple Bloom and her friends and Ah can do to help ya through this, we can." Applejack tried to comfort her. "Well, what will we-" Pinkie's mouth was covered by Applejack. "Let's talk about this in another room, y'all. C'mon." Applejack summoned Filthy Rich, Silver Spoon's mother, and the four other mares into another room. Silver Spoon curled up into a ball and rolled on the chair. The Cutie Mark Crusaders walked in. "Hey- a-are you okay?" Apple Bloom asked. "N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no. And I n-n-never will be ever again." Silver Spoon said through tears. "Oh... well, we're sorry for your loss. We know that she was mean to us, but we are still sorry." Scootaloo said. "But, what happened is our question." Sweetie Belle said through tears. "Well... Diamond Tiara didn't want her dad to find out about her party which had v-v-v-vodka and c-c-cig-g-arettes. I-I-I miss her SO MUCH!! She t-took her m-mother's p-p-pills and d-d-drank all the vodka in-in her h-house. Please don't tell anybody.Ple-he-hease! Just, DON"T!" Silver Spoon was begging. The three fillies standing over the weeping Silver Spoon looked at each other and nodded. "Okay. But tell us one thing." "Okay, what do you want me to tell you?" "How'd you get your cutie mark?" the three fillies nodded excitedly. Silver Spoon told them. The ponies walked out and told Silver something. "We found traces of your cells in her blood, as well as alcohol, and smoke in her lungs. What happened at the party?" The adults hovered over Silver Spoon...
