Dear diary,
Wow! It feels so.... So.... Strange writing that. I never thought I would write that! I'm not exactly the kind of pony who does all that girly stuff, and writing a diary is DEFIANTLY girly. Yuck! I can't believe I'm doing this. But, if Snowy says it's good for me, then I guess it must be good for me. Snowy is my therapist. She is a pegasus with a white coat, blue eyes and a bushy, purple main and tail. And yes, I know what you're thinking, why do I need a therapist? Well, the truth is, I don't. It's just that my parents happen to be extraordinarily rich, meaning that they can afford all these weird things that other ponies can't. You would have thought it would be fun being the daughter of two rich parents... But it's not, they make you do all these stupid things, just because they can afford it, for example, they make me have therapy, and they make me take private tuition alongside private schooling. They make me learn Spanish and French and German and Latin. They make me learn how to play cello and flute and violin and piano. And after all that I have no time for myself. I can't play with my toys or my friends, I simply don't have the time. I have to go to bed at six, wake up at eight, at school by nine, home at three, language tuition until half three, instrument tuition until four, tea at five, and then half an hour of therapy. It's stupid! Right now, it's six thirty, I'm supposed to be asleep, but let's face it, nopony goes to bed at that time!
I hope that one day my parents realise how stupid they're being by making me do all this, then they would cancel it all and I would be free to do whatever I wanted and nopony would be able to stop me! I have got so many toys, and so many that nopony else could afford, but I have no time to play with them, if only I didn't have all these stupid things to do then I could play all day with no cares! I could go out with my friends and do normal things together that other ponies do. You have no idea how much I would like to go out and ride a scooter, or fly a kite. But no, I have no time. I never have time.
Anyhow, I better get some sleep, or else someone might find out that I'm still awake and then I would get seriously told off, and trust me, the last thing I want is another lecture!
-------------------------------------
I CAN'T SLEEP! Why?! Because I just had the most terrible thought... What if my parents read this?! What if they find out I have a diary, think I'm a girly-girl and send me to one of those horrid girls' schools... Or make me do Ballet... Or paint my room pink as a surprise?! I suppose that going to a girls' school wouldn't be so bad, I'd get to meet others fillies for a change, but Ballet?! PINK?! NO WAY! I need to find a hiding place for this... And quick!
Oh no, I just had another thought, what if they read that I was writing my diary when I was supposed to be in bed?! They would make me take discipline classes until I am sixteen! I CANNOT let this happen!!! But, what should I do?! Hide it! That's my only option... But where? The house is so big that if I was to hide it just anywhere then I probably wouldn't be able to remember where I had hidden it and I would lose it. That wouldn't be so bad, but if I was to loose it, then there's a chance that someone could find it, and there's also a chance that this someone might be one of my parents, and there's a chance that they might read it... And if they read it then, then... Girls school... Pink bedroom... Ballet... Discipline classes! Yuck! I can just imagine it now... My life would be OVER... It's horrible, just horrible!!!
Hmm, now let me think... Where to hide it... Where to hide it?! I've got it! Underneath my pillow! Surly, they won't look under there! Well, at least now I can get some sleep!
-------------------------------------
I just had the most terrible nightmare! I woke up to find that my bedroom had been transformed into this girly, pink paradise. Then I walked into the hallway to find this pony stood outside my door. She claimed to be a therapist... Though it wasn't Snowy, it was some other pony. She told me that my parents had found my diary, and fired Snowy for advising me to make a diary in the first place, because I was staying up late at night to write it. She also told me that she would be taking over from Snowy, and that therapy would start straight away, because my parents had decided that I should take early morning classes so that I could make time for Ballet after girls school. It was awful! Now I'm more determined than ever to keep my diary safe... But where, oh where should I put it?! Somehow, underneath my pillow doesn't sound like such a good idea anymore, a maid could easily find it when making my bed and pass it on to my mum or dad. I think I'll keep it there for tonight, but tonight only. I will move it first thing tomorrow morning, before breakfast.
-------------------------------------
I STILL can't get to sleep! I've tried EVERYTHING! Counting sheep... Counting ponies... Counting stars. I just keep worrying about my diary, and what will happen if anypony finds it. I don't wanna get Snowy replaced! She's simply the BEST therapist ever... Even if I don't really need one. But now it's not just the thought of if my parents find it... But my friends too. For a pony as isolated as me, it's hard to find friends, and a lot of the time, when a pony finds out how rich I am, they completely avoid me, because they think I'm going to be one of these stuck-up ponies like Silver Spoon. I've never actually met Silver Spoon, but I've heard LOTS about her from my friend Diamond Tiara. She says that Silver Spoon is a mean pony who follows her everywhere because she can't stand the thought of Diamond Tiara 'stealing her spotlight', and that she acts like she's Diamond Tiara's friend just to attract attention to herself, when really she hates Diamond Tiara, and Diamond Tiara KNOWS IT!
Anyway, I got a little off track there. As I was saying, it's hard for me to find friends, so if one of them descovers my diary, what will they think of me?! Will they even WANT to be my friends anymore?! I can't risk losing my friends, I can't risk losing Snowy, and I can't risk Ballet and girls' school! It's too risky hiding it around the house... Someone could find it.... The only option left is to take it with me, wherever I go! How hard can it be?!
