There's something dark lurking in the corner of Diamond Tiara's bedroom, inside the closet where she keeps her dresses. It watches her every night, and she knows that if she looks away it will take the chance to creep closer. Maybe that's why she's afraid to fall asleep.

Winner of the Quills and Sofas ‘Mind of a child’ speedwrite contest, with the prompt ‘monster in the closet’.Written in 1hr 15.

Spoiled Rotten knows her best years are behind her. The time of flowers, whirlwind romances, and the luxury of rejecting suitors has passed. Now is the time for husbands and cradles, and she still has neither. With the clock ticking and a string of failed relationships trailing behind her, she fears it will stay that way.

So when one of the rare earth pony elite appears at a Canterlot party, despondent, alone, and (possibly) single, it’s an opportunity too good to pass up. And it’s been so long since Spoiled’s met a stallion she genuinely likes.

History says it won’t last. Common sense warns it won’t work. It’s a one-in-a-million chance, and luck’s never been on her side before. But Spoiled has to try. She can’t afford not to.

(In continuity with The Silver Standard, though reading is not required.)

This story is a sequel to Diminishing Returns

In the months following the school election, Diamond Tiara has made good on her word to become a better pony. She's behaved herself in and out of class. She's kept her grades up. She's attended family therapy without complaint.
Diamond has done everything that was asked of her.

And now, it's time for Spoiled Rich to hold up her end of the contract. As part of their joint effort to grow closer, come together as a family, and ease Filthy's mind, Diamond can choose a pet. Any pet she wants*.

*Terms and conditions may apply.

In continuity with The Silver Standard and Diminishing Returns. Familiarity is recommended, but not required.

Hearth's Warming is a wonderful time for everypony...except for the naughty ponies who can only expect coal from Santa Hooves. Diamond Tiara is one of those ponies, and she's not looking forwards to it...but a lot can change in a short time.

Merry Christmas everyone!

FEATURED FROM 14/10/17 TO 17/10/17

AN: No way! This got featured?! Thank you so so much! This really means a lot to me!

When Spoiled Rich runs into the difficult case of no longer having any staff working in her mansion, she understands that she herself doesn't exactly know how to take care of herself. And with a little issue coming up in some three days, she's going to learn the hard way what her character has brought upon herself.

An arrogant mare can remain arrogant for quite some time - the question is, what gets her to open up her eyes?

This is an entry into the Ancestral Tribute Competition!

Author's Note: I saw this competition but ended up joining too close to the deadline! Kind of how the theme of a three-day time limit is in the story, I myself had a similar thing where most of this fic was written in three days, separated into three parts which I wrote in what I estimate to be eight hours total. I don't think I did a superb job, but this was refreshing and I hope enjoyable!

Also, this is my first attempt writing comedy - ever!

On that note, I also attempted to write this fic like an episode of MLP, kinda - to an extent. I thought it'd be a nice way to guide the process.

Why Spoiled rich, when there are so many other interesting characters that qualify?

Well - if choosing from the best parent was going to be a painstaking process full of struggle as I couldn't possibly choose a small enough number to fit into the entry...

Why not try my luck with a...not-so "best" parent?

Danny is wearing his convention center snack bar uniform when The Merchant sends him to Equestria.

Only through the powers of customer service can he defeat Spoiled Rich.

Thanks to Damaged, Mockingbirb, Samey90, and HiddenMaster for brainstorming and VikingZX for insight into convention center guests (on a scale of bad to worse).

Diamond Tiara was having a good morning. Then her mother dropped dead. Then things got weird.
