//------------------------------// // Bonus Act II: Pretty Women // Story: Sweetie Belle's Descent Into Madness- A Musical // by Matthais Unidostres //------------------------------// Bonus Act II: Pretty Women Diamond Tiara sat back in her long chair beside her pool, smiling as her tiara sparkled in the sunlight. She was in such a good mood after smashing the worthless pegasus' scooter, even though Silver Spoon had chickened out at the last moment. "Oh well, maybe she'll be of more use next time," Tiara thought to herself as she took a sip of her mock martini. Suddenly, her butler walked out through the patio doors and said, "Miss Tiara. You have a visitor. A friends from school." "Probably Silver Spoon to kiss up for backing out of my scheme," Tiara thought with a smile. She gave her butler pony a curt nod. He then stepped aside to reveal not Silver Spoon, but Button Mash holding a plastic bag. Diamond Tiara sat up in surprise. "What are you doing here, you nerd!?" To Tiara's surprise, Button wasn't at all hurt by the insult. In fact, he kept up a slightly stupid looking smile of pure innocence and infatuation. Button Mash stepped forward, set the bag down on the ground next to him, and looked straight at Diamond Tiara. Still wearing his enchanted smile, Button lifted his left hoof and placed it over his heart as he spoke to the pink filly before him. You see miss a colt infatuated with love. I'd be your ardent and eager slave. Button reached into his plastic bag and pulled out a few of the items he had "borrowed" from Rarity. There were hoof creams, moisturizes, perfumes, various makeups and plenty of other beauty items. So here I have file and pumice stone, Stuff to lend you a more seductive tone You deserve much more than perfume alone, Please let me style. . . . Button took out a brand new brush out of its packaging and gave Diamond Tiara another entranced look. . . .Your mane. Diamond Tiara stared blankly at the brown colt in front of her as he kept up that enamored smile. "What a hopeless romantic," she thought. But then, a sly smile formed on her face, and she thought, "Heh! If he wants to be my servant, who am I not to take advantage of him. He's asking for it!" So she lay back on her long chair, took a final sip of her drink, and said, "If you want to, then yes you may." Button replied by whistling to himself as he carried his back over to Diamond Tiara, positioning herself behind her chair. "You're sure in a good mood, Button Mash," Tiara commented. Button nodded enthusiastically, the propeller on his hat spinning twice as fast. It's part delight of gaining my Mark, and part being here with you. Diamond Tiara chuckled at that, "Well romance novels say love can make hearts pound and leap higher, and more!" And more? Love's like a fire! "That's love, yes," Tiara replied with a chuckle. But more than love "More than love?" Tiara said with confusion in her voice. Markings Tiara smiled and nodded in understanding, "Ah yes, Markings." Cutie Markings Tiara sighed and lay back and relaxed. She even closed her eyes as she lay on her long chair. "He may be a lousy nerd, but at least he knows the importance of Cutie Marks. Good thing he got one during that song Sweetie Belle sang. I'm gonna enjoy using him. . ." She hummed to herself contentedly, and Button joined in with his whistling. The two ponies harmonized with each other beautifully. Meanwhile, Button Mash was digging through his bag. As he dug around, he soon came across a shinning pair of scissors. Button's eyes caught the light reflected by the instrument, and his hooves were begging to grab the scissors, to use them right away. Button touched the metal object with a hoof tip. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself as he stared at the shinning instrument. He whispered to it. Now then my friend. Now to your purpose. Patience. Enjoy it. Revenge can't be taken in haste. "What's taking you so long, I ain't got all day," Diamond complained. Okay! . . . And what talent does your Mark represent? "To lead," Diamond said simply with a smirk, "I'm always in control." "Of Sweetie Belle's misery" Button muttered darkly, loosing his fake smile for a few seconds. "Huh? What was that?" Diamond said, opening her eyes and turning her head to look at Button. "Oh, Nothing. Nothing," Button said, quickly putting his smile back on. "Now," he said as he took of the tiara and placed it on the small tale next to the filly's drink, "Let's get started." Diamond lay back and closed her eyes again as Button began gently brushing her mane. Cutie Markings. . . Fascinating... Special talents, Anything... Cutie Markings. . . Are a wonder. Cutie Markings! Button recalled what he had read in that library book about giving massages, and as he brushed Diamond Tiara mane with his right hoof, he gently rubbed the filly's left shoulder with his left hoof. He accredited his excellent dexterity to extensive use of the Wiimote. Being best at bossing or, Being good at games. Realization, then it's there. Cutie Markings Tiara breathed out pleasantly as Button massaged her. "Self-discovered. . ." she said. Always with you "Flashing. . .' Stays forever "Tingles slightly. . ." Cutie Markings! Soon, the two young ponies found themselves singing together as Button switched hooves, now brushing Tiara's mane with his left and massaging her right shoulder with his right. Cutie Markings! Finding gems in rocks or Making loads of cash, Coming out of nowhere, surprise! Never will they leave you, they'll always stay, in death they still can remain there with you Never will they leave They're always three They're there Ah! Cutie Markings, Button suddenly stopped brushing, but kept up the massage. He reached down with his left hoof and felt around the bag until he found the scissors. In your mirrors, "In your photos," Tiara said, still enjoying Button's gentle rubbing. Letter-sealing, "Purpose giving," Destiny-ing At that moment, Button lifted his right hoof off of Diamond Tiara's shoulder, and slipped it under Diamond Tiara's mane, slowly lifting it up as the two of them went into the climax of their song. How they make a pony sing! Proof of heaven, As you're living, Button had lifted Diamond Tiara's mane up high. It looked as if she were hanging upside down and her hair was hanging down under her. Cutie Markings! Yeah! Cutie Markings! Yes! Cutie Markings! Oh! Button opened the pair of long scissors and slipped Diamond Tiara's mane in between the razor sharp blades. Cutie Markings! Cutie Markings! Cutie Markings! SNIP!
