A Blooming Diamond: The Wrath of Silver Spoon

Chapter 5: Tension

Scootaloo awoke, in a place she did not recognize
"W-Where am I?" Scootaloo said to herself.

"That's a good question, where are you." Silver stated, walking up to the tied Scootaloo who was in a metal bed.
"S-Silver Spoon?!" Scootaloo asked, in shock and in a bit of terror.

"Hello useless Blank Flank." Silver stated.
"Hey." Babs said, a bit annoyed, reminding Silver of a certain fact.
"Oh.. right, sorry forgot Babs." Silver said, apologizing. "Let me correct myself. Hello you worthless pegasus with stunted wings." Silver said.

"S-Stunted?" Scootaloo asked, not actually knowing what that term meant.
"Stunted means... you can't act-" Babs started to say, with a bit of remorse actually, before being cut off by Silver Spoon.
"Stunted means you have useless wings, and your a useless waste of space pegasus that can't even fly, you'll never be like Rainbow Dash!" Silver shouted coldly.
"..." Scootaloo said nothing, she was on the outside filled with rage that Silver would assume such a thing, but deep down she felt a lot of sadness... wondering if the glasses wearing filly was right.

"That was a bit harsh don't yous think?" Babs asked, not completely agreeing with Silver's method of shouting at Scootaloo.
"So? Who cares. It's not like she has any friends anyway. Besides that squeaky idiot and manebow mcgee." Silver stated.
"Hey.. manebow mcgee is my cousin now, only I gets to insult her like that." Babs stated, offended at Silver's nickname for Applebloom.

"Whatever Babs." Silver simply replied.

Babs felt some tension towards Silver Spoon. Yes, Babs didn't exactly like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but Silver Spoon was a bit more annoying to her than she actually thought she'd be, so Babs sat there and speculated, also grumbling and mumbling to herself.

"Y-You're lying!" Scootaloo shouted.
"Am I? Or are you just in complete denial?" Silver barked back.
"I can fly!" Scootaloo said, although deep down she really wasn't sure to believe herself or not.

"You can't even jump high, that's why you ride a scooter. To go fast and jump high so it feels a bit like flying, but really it's just a pathetic attempt from a pathetic pony." Silver said.

"Hey hey hey come on Silver stop. I don't want to hear her crying." Babs said.
"I will do what I want, understood?" Silver barked at Babs.
"Alright, but do it yourself." Babs said, throwing her hooves up in the air and walking out of the room.

"Whatever." Silver said with no care."
"How could you even have ever been friends with Diamond Tiara? You're as cruel as a hardened criminal..." Scootaloo stated.
"Friends? Me and Diamond were never 'friends'. I just acted like it and when she decided not to agree with me anymore I dropped her. Sure she seemed like the leader, but that's because I let her feel like that so she'd have a sense of pride in her stupid life. She was always second fiddle." Silver said with somewhat disdain and ire about her former 'friend'.
"Wow.. your an ass." Scootaloo replied.
"At least I have one." Silver returned.
"You're ridiculous." Scootaloo said.
"And you're retarded." Silver cameback.
"At least I have friends." Scootaloo said, this debacle between the two fillies getting a bit heated.
"Who needs friends when you've got money?" Silver stated.
"Yeah where'd you get all that money? Prostitution?" Scootaloo said, using a joke she'd learned from Rainbow Dash.
"...." Silver was speechless, not expecting that. meanwhile Babs could be heard chuckling a bit in the next room over.
"I'll be right back" Silver then said, before heading to the room where Babs was.

"And just what are you chuckling about over here?" Silver asked, a bit furious.
"That argument." Babs simply stated.
"What's so funny about that? Who's side are you on anyway?!" Silver asked, getting madder quickly.
"It was a good joke." Babs said.
"Yeah, you think she came up with that on her own wise guy?" Silver asked, peering at Babs with one eye.
"Who cares, it made you all uptight, you sound ridiculous right now." Babs said.
"Oh whatever!" Silver shouted.
"Calm down." Babs said with a chuckle.
"Nopony tells me to calm down! I'm going to go let off some steam. Watch that orange brat for me." Silver stated before leaving before a reply could even be made.

"Well she seems to be in a good mood." Babs said chuckling to herself, before going back to the room Scootaloo was in, walking over to her.

"What do you want..." Scootaloo asked in a angered tone.
"Hey, I'm not here to continues that stupid stuff. Good joke by the way, let me guess- Rainbow Dash?" Babs questioned.
"How'd you..." Scootaloo asked/got cut off.
"She told me the same joke about Gilda." Babs stated.
"Gilda? She doesn't even speak about her anymore, how'd that come up?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well they managed to be in the same place at one time and it kind of escalated into an insane argument where they actually got into a fight and had to be seperated and thrown out, I just walked up to Dash and said the heck was that about?" Babs replied.
"Wow. She never told me that." Scootaloo said, curious as to why Dash never told her.
"She said she wouldn't tell you cause she would have gloated about it in that situation and she really doesn't want you to be that way." Babs stated.
"She.. cares?" Scootaloo asked, surprised, even though Dash talked to her at times, it really felt like Dash could care less about her.
"More than you probably realize." Babs answered.
"Tell me more please." Scootaloo stated.
"Alright, but it's a pretty large amount to take in." Babs said.
"I don't care, just tell me... please?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well since you said please." Babs said, chuckling.

With that Babs talked to Scootaloo for nearly an hour about Rainbow Dash and how she hid things purposefully from Scootaloo so she wouldn't get herself into trouble and about varying topics, all of which would probably... get Scootaloo in trouble, which is why Dash never spoke of them to her, because Dash really did care.
