Bell didn't wait long to stir up some more trouble. The mean pony tried her very best to walk elegantly towards Diamond Tiara. She was wearing another smirk. "Oh hey there, Blank Flank. Whatcha doing here? Shouldn't you be hugging your pool chair?" Bell taunted Diamond. The pink pony was embarrassed. No one ever made fun of her for having no mark until now. She decided to be stern again. It worked so well last time, why not now?
"I thought I told you to stay away from me last time." Diamond started off strong. Bell was in no way going to back down now.
"Who are you to tell me that? I have a grand tiara on my head. That makes me like a Princess. I'm surprised Princess Celestia hasn't made me an Alicorn yet. I'm so special and you aren't. Your fame and glory is stuck in this hotel. I go wherever my sister's fame is, and I'm the one in the spotlight, so why don't you back off, Blank Flank!" Bell started to shout, and that got the attention of her sister.
"Bell! That is enough! Why are you wearing that tiara? I told you it was for Diamond!" Tessa grabbed the tiara off of Bell's head. "I'm so sorry Diamond Tiara. My sister has wronged you twice. To make it up to you, how would you like to be my second lead in the play? You don't get much lines, but you will be on stage a lot," Tessa offered Diamond once more.
It was Diamond Tiara's turn to smirk as she accepted the role. "Thank you, Miss Tessa Royal. It would be my honor." Tessa smiled and looked at Bell. Bell, was not sharing the joy.
"SIS! How could you do that to me? That was my role!" Bell whined. "You said I could be your second lead!"
"No I didn't! I said maybe, but since you have shown yourself to be quite the rude pony, I'm giving this part to this poor pony. And shame on you for trying to steal this tiara from Diamond! Her grandfather told us it was for her!" Tessa scolded her sister and placed the tiara on Diamond's head.
Tessa apologized one last time and left. "You're the worst, Blank Flank!" Bell sneered before galloping to catch up to her sister. Although, Diamond threw one last phrase before Bell ran out of earshot.
"Actually, I'm not the worst, I'm the second lead!"
Diamond Tiara felt something happen to her. She looked at her flank: It was a cutie mark! It depicted the tiara she was wearing. At that moment, Diamond felt unstoppable. She was Tessa Royal's new lead, she got a gorgeous tiara, and a cutie mark! Fate has finally reached her. Diamond knew this was the way to go. She was no longer a lame Blank Flank, she was Diamond Tiara, and no one is ever going to stand to push her down again!
Diamond happily trotted into her suite and proudly showed her mother her new cutie mark. "Isn't it great? I got it after I wore grandfather's tiara! He gave it to me, and Tessa Royal helped me put it on and everything!" Diamond squealed again as Silver Spoon burst through the door. Diamond ran towards her friend. "Silver! You will never believe what just happened!"

After a long story about how Diamond Tiara stood up to Bell Royal once and for all (hopefully), the two went into the theater for rehearsal. The play titled: A Cure for My Sister was sure to be one of the greatest hits of all time! Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were amazed. The sets included castles, forests, caves, and even an evil wizard's lair. Everyone was in costume, and people were rushing around all over the place. Silver Spoon was the one who spotted Tessa Royal in the mess of it all, right at center stage where she belonged. "Its going to look even better with me by her side!" Diamond Tiara thought aloud. Silver Spoon nodded in agreement.
"I wonder what role I'm going to get!" Silver Spoon pondered in excitement. The two galloped full speed to center stage where Tessa Royal greeted them with warm smiles.
"Hey Girls! Good to see you. I'm a bit busy working over some last minute details, but you can go with my production assistant Chase Clip. He will show you to your joined dressing rooms, give you the scripts, and all the important stuff. See you around!" Tessa introduced Chase and continued back to staring at her script.
"Hey guys! I'm Chase, nice to meet you girls. Okay, your dressing room is just right behind the curtain, follow me." Chase led them behind the curtains, and into a dressing room. It looked like any other of the dressing rooms, but a bit smaller. Diamond Tiara was a bit disappointed, but she was just glad to be in the play. Chase handed them their parts of the script and left them to get ready for the show, which was starting in only two hours. "I know its short notice, but if you two can get these few lines down, that would be great. Ta ta!"
Diamond looked over her script. Her character had an illness that prevented her from talking, and she only has two lines at the end. Simple enough. Silver Spoon playing Diamond's top maid who shared the same ailment. The two were glad that they got good parts and didn't have to do that much work. "This is so cool!" Silver Spoon looked around their shared dressing room, and spotted two dresses hanging on a rack. "Hey, are these for us?" Silver Spoon took them off the racks and handed the dress with Diamond's name on it to her. Even in a servant's costume, Silver Spoon looked great. "How's your's?"
Diamond Tiara put on her dress. It was pearly white with gold and royal blue accents on it. Purple and pink lace trailed around it's sides. It was the prettiest dress diamond tiara has ever seen! "Mine is so awesome! Its probably going to be the show stopper of everything! And nothing is going to ruin this!" Diamond Tiara danced all around the dressing room in her new costume. She quickly regained her posture and continued to practice reading the script. It wasn't long before Silver Spoon left once more to get ice cream. Diamond Tiara had only waved good-bye to Silver Spoon before Bell Royal placed a hoof behind the closing door.
"I see you're practicing for MY role," Bell sneered. She walked menacingly around Diamond Tiara. "You're probably gonna mess it up anyway. You're luck that dress fits you. I probably would've looked better in it anyway." The snotty girl flipped and swished her mane around, trying to be elegant.
"Beat it Bell! I've got the part, and I'm going to do better than you ever could have!" Diamond Tiara insulted back. Bell didn't back down. She glared harder at the little pony.
"We'll see how great your performance is...break a leg," Bell Royal slammed the door behind her.
