The Other Alicorn

by The Corn


Sweet, sweet revenge.

I had a strange dream last night. I was walking down the street when I bumped into Diamond Tiara and her little sidekick, Silver Spoon. I told them exactly what I thought of them and I laughed. Then I took that little tiara right off Diamond Tiara's head and threw it in the bin. Everyone I knew started to gather around her.

"Why do they call you Diamond Tiara anyway?" Scootaloo sneered. "Your name means nothing when you're not actually wearing it!"

Everypony started laughing. Everypony except Diamond Tiara.

"Silver Spoon? How could you? You're supposed to be my friend! Stop it! I'll tell, I'll tell Miss Cheerilee, I'll tell my daddy! Stop it! Stop laughing at me!"

But this only made us all laugh harder.

All of a sudden a blinding light came from above.

"Do you really think this is the right thing to do?" A booming voice came.

Everypony turned and ran, but I froze, it was as though I was glued to the spot, I couldn't move.

"Well, do you?" The voice came again.

Another alicorn darted through the sky before landing right before me. She had long, flowing hair, a deep blue and sparkly. She was a lot taller than most other ponies and her cutie mark... The moon. Oh my goodness. I couldn't believe my eyes. Could it be? No, it couldn't possibly be... But it was.

"P-Princess Luna?" I questioned.

"Indeed." She replied.

I was star struck. I didn't know what to do. I'd always looked up to Princess Luna, she was my idol, and here she was in person, standing right before my eyes. Should I bow down to her? Is it too late? Maybe I should show her how much I appreciate her, but how? If I was to tell her everything I knew about her she might think I'm just some creep. But if I didn't do something then she might think that I just don't care. So I just winged it. I began to bow down, but then I quickly changed my mind and got back up again. I decided that maybe I should say something instead.

"Oh, Princess Luna, it's you, it's really you, I know so much about you, well, I don't know THAT much, I'm not a creep, but I do know a lot about you and..."

Princess Luna gently put a hoof up to to my mouth, ushering me to stop talking.

"I know very well of this. However, that is not the reason I entered your dreams tonight. The real reason is that I think you may be about to make a huge mistake."

I was puzzled. What mistake? I wasn't going to make a mistake. What was she talking about? Maybe she was supposed to enter somepony else's dream, but got mine by mistake. See, she was the only one making mistakes, not me! Princess Luna looked at me.

"Do you really not know?"

I shook my head. I didn't have a clue!

"The maybe I can remind you."

Princess Luna tapped a hoof hard on the ground. The whole street disappeared into the night and was soon replaced by a house, unfamiliar to me.

"I still don't understand." I told her.

"This is the house of Diamond Tiara, follow me." She instructed.

I followed her up a rather large staircase, into a bedroom, and inside the a bed lay Diamond Tiara herself.

"Why have you taken me here?" I asked.

"This is Diamond Tiaras house, this is her bedroom, look, she even wears her tiara whilst she's asleep."

"Yeah, I can see that."

"I thought you wanted revenge." Teased Princess Luna.

"I do want revenge, SHE'S the one that gave me that stupid task which lead to me being in hospital! And her little companion, Silver Spoon should get her fair share in it too!"

"Well then, what are you waiting for? I've shown you where she lives, which bedroom is hers, all you would need to do is go there and take it, take her prized tiara, and see what the consequences are!"

At that moment I woke up. Right now, I wanted revenge more than anything. Before, I wanted ponies to love me. Then I wanted them to just like me, that would be enough. But now, what I want more than anything... Is revenge.

I crept out of my bed and tippy-hoofed down the corridor. A doctor came out of one of the rooms and asked me what I was doing, so I told him I was just going to the bathroom, so he walked off. I managed to get out of the hospital with no distractions after that. Once I got out, I ran. I knew exactly where I was going. Diamond Tiara's house! I knew exactly where it was, all thanks to Princess Luna. I tried hard to open the door, but somepony had locked it! I walked around the back of the house to see if anypony had been foolish enough to leave open a window. I was out of luck. It seemed like I would never get my revenge, but then I noticed something... The house had a side door.
I rushed over to it, and pulled the handle as quietly as possible, it made a small clicking noise and then the door swung open. Yes! I was inside! I crept through the house and up the stairs. Into her bedroom I went. It was exactly how I remembered it from my dream. So was Diamond Tiara, still sleeping with that piece of junk placed on top of her head. I crept as slowly and as quietly as possible. I felt like a spy. It was a kind of scary but thrilling feeling as I lifted the overrated piece of jewellery off of her head and onto mine. I didn't have anywhere else to put it, so I figured that if I wore it, it would save me from having to find a saddle bag. I felt so special and privileged when I put it on, like a REAL Princess, and not just some little alicorn that for some reason everypony seems to hate.


As I walked out the house, I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. But after that came another feeling, a sick feeling. What should I do now?
