Forging Romance

by Diamond Sparkle


I Choose Silver

Diamond narrowed her eyes. "Mother, Father, even if I were not in love with Silver Spoon or anypony and were single, I would still refuse to marry Prince Blueblood. First, he must be four times my age! He and I really have absolutely nothing in common with each other. Second, I was with you at the Grand Galloping Gala, the one that turned into a total disaster. And I saw with my own eyes the way that he treated Rarity, a mare that was genuinely in love with him, as a shield against a flying cake. He is boorish, full of himself, and has little or no respect for mares no matter who they are. At best, he would just use me for sex as a brood mare to have legal heirs, and I'm better then that. A lot better then that. And would you really disown me, your only daughter? I really don't think so. Who would you choose as your heir then? I choose Silver, not Blueblood, and you won't be able to change my mind."

Silver's father turned to a couple of foot-stallions. "Grab her and take her to her bedroom." As they started to advance on Diamond, she leapt out of one of the windows, smashing it in the process, and galloped away as fast as possible to Silver's mansion. Silver's mother turned to her father and said "You know, this is at least partly our fault. We encouraged our daughter to fall headlong in love with Silver Spoon, and she did. And she's right about Blueblood, he is all those things and more. I think we should accept our daughter's choice. Silver Spoon is of our own class and is as wealthy as we are, so it's not as if our daughter fell in love with some poor peasant. We should have one more talk with her to see if she really is in love with another mare or not, and if she is, give her love our blessing. The only thing that really bothers me about this would be the lack of a legitimate heir to the Rich fortune in the long term. "

"I suppose you're right, and this mess is our fault. Servants, clean up this mess please and get a new window installed as soon as possible."

Unaware that her parents were considering letting her and Silver Spoon be together, Diamond Tiara galloped up to the Silver Mansion. The gates were closed of course against trespassers and thieves and sealed with a magical spell, but Diamond was one of the few ponies outside the Spoon family to know the magic word to get in. She said it and the gates clanged open and once she was inside, they clanged shut behind her. She knocked on the front door and Silver herself opened it. Diamond leapt up in a hug and almost pushed her gorgeous marefriend over, kissing her warmly on the lips.

"You would not believe who my parents now want me to marry-Prince Blueblood! He's a dirty old stallion who must be three times my age at least , he has no respect for mares at all; and besides he's not you. I would choose you, Silver, above anypony. Don't hand me over to a loveless marriage."

"I will do no such thing, don't forget that I love you too. We were so totally meant to be together," Silver assured her marefriend. "There is no way that I will ever hand you over to your parents or to Blueblood. You're mine."
