“I don’t get it,” Diamond Tiara said as she looked at herself in the mirror.
“Oh come on. They’re cute, Diamond!” Apple Bloom gushed as she continued to stare at Diamond Tiara. “Granny’s old glasses look fantastic on you!”
“They look stupid!” Diamond Tiara growled as she took off the the large framed glasses and threw them behind herself.
“Hey! You gotta be careful with those!”
“Who cares?! It’s not like Granny Smith ever wears them!” Diamond Tiara said as she made her way out of Apple Bloom’s attic. “Why am I even at your stupid place anyways?” Diamond Tiara grumbled to herself, briefly considering picking up a nearby roll of toilet paper to hit Apple Bloom with. Why they had toilet paper in the attic was beyond her, but at this point she had given up trying to understand Apple Bloom’s crazy family.
“Oh come on, Diamond!” Apple Bloom begged as she quickly got in Diamond Tiara’s way, blocking the exit. “Don’t you wanna be friends?” Apple Bloom asked with a smile.
“Ha! Maybe if you weren’t a no talent loser, I’d consider making you my friend. But as things stand, I’d rather-”
“Of course you don’t wanna be mah friend!” Apple Bloom laughed as she threw her hoof over Diamond Tiara’s shoulder. “Ah know how you look at me, you wanna be more,” Apple Bloom whispered in Diamond Tiara’s ear, tightening her hold on her.
“...I...I don’t even know how to respond to that,” Diamond Tiara grumbled as she removed Apple Bloom’s hoof from her shoulders.
“Oh come on, Diamond Tiara. Why else do you always pick on me?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with you demolishing the town every week or so? Maybe it’s because you broke my favorite tiara?” Diamond Tiara replied, looking around the attic for anything that looked like it would hurt. “Or it could be I just don’t like you?” Looking to her right, she found a nice, sturdy looking cane. Hmm, that should work nicely, she thought to herself as she picked it up and examined it.
“Oh, Diamond Tiara, you silly filly!” Apple Bloom said, playfully booping Diamond Tiara’s nose. “The reason you constantly pick on me isn’t out of hate! Even Sweetie Belle sees it! Clearly you’re in love with me, and you’re just having trouble coming to terms with it!”
“I hope you know, I’m going to enjoy hitting you with this cane now.” With that, Diamond Tiara swung the cane overhead and hit Apple Bloom on the head.
“Ouch!” Apple Bloom screamed, rubbing her sore head.
“Still think I’m in love with you?” Diamond Tiara asked with a smirk, resisting the urge to laugh as tears formed in Apple Bloom’s eyes.
“Yes, yes ah do,” Apple Bloom said, causing Diamond Tiara to groan.
“I just hit you with a cane!”
“And ah know from experience you hurt the ones you love.” Apple Bloom smiled, and hugged Diamond Tiara gently. “But no matter how many times you hurt me, ah will always love you.” Kissing Diamond Tiara on the cheek, Apple Bloom slowly backed away, smiling at the love of her life.
“Apple Bloom...you disgust me.” And with that, Diamond Tiara once again brought the cane down, smacking Apple Bloom on the head.
“You know, just because ah love you, doesn’t mean ah appreciate you hitting me on the head with that cane,” Apple Bloom complained as she rubbed her sore head.
“And I don’t appreciate you implying I love you!” Diamond Tiara growled as she prepared to once again hit Apple Bloom on the head with said cane.
“Diamond Tiara, wait!” Apple Bloom cried as she held her hooves in front of her face in defense. After a few seconds of not feeling the cane hit her, Apple Bloom lowered her hooves with a smile.
“What? Are you finally done with claiming I’m in love with you?” Diamond Tiara asked. “That’s too bad. I was hoping for another excuse to hit you.” With that, Diamond Tiara dropped the cane and gave Apple Bloom a smirk. She could finally get out of-
“Gotcha!” Apple Bloom yelled as she pinned Diamond Tiara to the ground.
“What are you doing now?!”
“Ah’m gonna prove to you that you love me!” Apple Bloom cried, licking her lips in anticipation.
“You are obsessed, aren’t you?!” Diamond Tiara yelled in disgust.
“Can you blame me for being obsessed with you?” Apple Bloom asked with a smirk, causing Diamond Tiara to growl.
I hate to admit it, but she’s got me there, she thought bitterly to herself. Perfection came with a heavy cost it seemed.
“Ah’m gonna kiss you now, alright?” Apple Bloom asked, breathing heavily into Diamond Tiara’s face.
“So? You already kissed me on the cheek,” Diamond Tiara sighed as she turned her head sideways. She might as well get this over with.
“Ah don’t mean on the cheek,” Apple Bloom replied as she turned Diamond Tiara’s face towards her. “Ah wanna kiss you on your perfect lips.” Blushing madly, Apple Bloom leaned her face towards Diamond Tiara. As their lips brushed ever so slightly, Apple Bloom waited for Diamond Tiara to lean into the kiss.
“...I’m going to have to kiss you, aren’t I?” Diamond Tiara asked. After a few seconds of no reply, Diamond Tiara sighed to herself. “I’ll take that as a yes.” With one last sigh, Diamond Tiara gave Apple Bloom a quick peck on the lips.
“...That’s it?” Apple Bloom grumbled, causing Diamond Tiara to giggle.
“If you want more than that, you’re going to have to take me to dinner,” Diamond Tiara said with a blush. Apple Bloom smiled gently, and bowed before Diamond Tiara.
“Oh, and where does mah lady-”
“And you have to let me hit you with the cane again,” Diamond Tiara declared with a smirk, glancing at the nearby cane.
“...Really?” Apple Bloom asked as she got up from her bow, staring at a smirking Diamond Tiara. Sighing in defeat, Apple Bloom slowly got off of Diamond Tiara. “Alright, fine! If it makes you happy, you can hit me.”
“Maybe later, but first...” With a smirk, Diamond Tiara grabbed Apple Bloom by the shoulders, and gave her another quick peck on the lips. “That’s for the hits I gave you earlier, now take me out to eat before I change my mind!” Diamond Tiara said as she began leaving the attic.
“Diamond Tiara, wait!” Apple Bloom called out.
“What now?” Diamond Tiara grumbled, staring at Apple Bloom’s outstretched hoof. “Oh you have got to be kidding me.”
“What can ah say? You look really cute with glasses on!”
