//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Diamond's Crush & The Plan Begins // Story: A Blooming Diamond: The Wrath of Silver Spoon // by PastelBacon //------------------------------// Diamond Tiara spent the night at the carousel boutique, there was no school today so it gave her time to hang around with Sweetie Belle, who she was hoping she'd be able to make friends with as well. 8 AM "So what do you like to do?" Diamond asked. "I like drawing." Sweetie replied. "I can tell, you have drawings all over your room." Diamond noted, chuckling a bit. "Do you have a problem with that?" Sweetie asked. "No, no not at all." Diamond said. "Wanna try something?" Sweetie asked. "Uh... sure. I'm not one for drawing but I'm not terrible at it." Diamond answered. "What colors do you want?" Sweetie asked. "Um.... A light yelow... red... violet red... and orange." Diamond replied. "Um... really? Those don't seem like your kind of color to me." Sweetie said, a bit confused by Diamonds color choice. "Eheh.. guess I'm full of surprises huh? ...Anyways those are the colors I want." Diamond said. "Alright, if you say so." Sweetie said, giving Diamond those colors as well as a large piece of cardboard paper. "Have Fun." Sweetie also said. "I will.." Diamond said, smiling. Diamond then began to draw something random at first, or so she thought, until she saw she'd drawn the shape of a fillies body. "Oh my..." Diamond said to herself before continuing. She then continues to draw, noting she draws a head, as well as a red mane, and soon she finds herself staring at a perfect picture of Applebloom. "O-O-Oh my.. i-i-i-i think I'm obsessed with her..." DIamond said to herself. "What'd ya ma- is that Applebloom?" Sweetie asked, giggling. "U-U-U-U-U-Um....." Diamond simply got out, beginning to blush a bit. "Does somepony have a crush?" Sweetie asked with a bit of a mocking tone. "N-No!" Diamond said, turning her head, although her blush grew redder. "Nu-uh your lying!" Sweetie teased. "N-No I'm not!" Diamond said, trying to keep her red cheeks under control. "Do!" Sweetie said. "Don't!" Diamond replied. "Do!" "Don't!" "Do!" "Don't!" "Don't!" "Do! ...ah crap!" Diamond said, coming out on the short end of that argument. "I knew it! Somepony's got a crush!" Sweetie said, giggling. "O-Okay fine... maybe a small one... b-but don't tell anypony! E-Especially Applebloom!" Diamond said, embarassed. "Oh don't worry... I won't tell her... as long as you do something for me." Sweetie said, a bit mischeviously. "A-Alright, just don't spill my secret!" Diamond yelled. "Good, very good. The first thing I want you to do is clean my room so Rarity stops complaining about it." Sweetie said. "Y-Your room..?" Diamond asked nervously, as she looked over the room, which looked like it'd been the victim of A tornado, a hurricane and an earthquake at the same exact time, her eyes widening. "Yup!" Sweetie replied, giggling again. "A-Auuuoh....." Diamond weezily said, before fainting. Diamond woke up a little later in a bed, looking up at a larger white pony than Sweetie, with a purple mane.. Rarity. "What happened...?" Diamond said, not knowing what was going on. "My sister tried to get you to clean that... if you want to call it room... and you fainted." Rarity said. "I did..?" Diamond replied. "Yes, you took one look around the room, wobbled and fell over like this." Rarity said, imitating Diamond Tiara, except her fainting couch comes out of nowhere as usual and she falls on it. "Uh..." Diamond got out, before poking Rarity, who was stiff as a board. "Did she really just faint like that?" Diamond asked, not quite believing what had just happened. Meanwhile "Hey twerp!" Babs yelled. "What do you want..." a certain orange pegasus filly said. "I heard ya quit the crusaders." Babs said. "Yeah, so?" Scootaloo asked. "Well.. why don't yous join us? We needs a third." Babs said, smiling like she was friendly. "...I'm tired of being a third wheel. I'm done with that stuff.. it's all crap. Just leave me alone." Scootaloo said. "And If I don't?" Babs asked, turning a bit aggressive. "Get lost Babs." Scootaloo said. "Make me." Babs said with confidence. "Oh it's on!" Scootaloo said, turning and facing babs, who waved her to come in first. Scootaloo started to come in, when suddenly she felt something hit her over the head, and everything faded to black. "Too easy." Babs said. "Wow.. I'm surprised. You weren't kidding, she is pretty stupid." Silver Spoon said, giggling. "She's a pegasus, all pegasus got no brains. Just wings." Babs said. "Can't believe she looks up to Rainbow Dash, she'll never be like her. She's just a pathetic filly who can't fly." Silver said. "True, but we might have some use for her." Babs replied. "Exactly, Babs. Exactly. It's time for my plan to begin. My wrath will be felt... oh it will be felt!" Silver said, before breaking out into an evil laugh. "Yous means our plan right?" Babs asked. "Yeah, our plan.. sorry got caught up in the whole evil schtick moment." Silver said, nervously giggling. "Riiiight.. well let's get this deadbeat pegasus back to our base." Babs said. "With Pleasure." Silver replied.
