Chapter 2: Juice, Moods, Galas and Feelings

Me and Diamond Tiara were in my house, ten minutes left until School, and I live literally beside the place. Before we head off, me and my friend are just going to have a glass of juice or something else,

"What are you wanting to drink, Diamond?" I asked her.

"Can I get milk if you have any please, Silver" DT replied.

"Coming right up" I told her.

I got myself orange juice out the fridge and I got milk for Diamond Tiara, I filled us our drinks in glasses. Once I filled them, I passed over Diamond Tiara's milk and she asked me,

"Did you do the homework?"

"No, I forgot to, it was the Gala thing wasn't it?" I replied and asked.

"Yeah, it's in like ten days time" Diamond Tiara explained.

I finished my orange juice and was waiting for Diamond Tiara to finish her milk, I put my glass in the sink and stood by the back door waiting for her,

"Ten, you said? You thinking of going?" I asked her.

"Maybe. What about yourself?" Diamond Tiara replied.

"I might do, if I can get a date" I told her.

"Ooh, look at you, wanting a man for the Gala" She sarcastically replied.

"Yeah, just wanting a nice guy" I said.

"Why not a good looking one?" She asked me, as she finished her milk

"I don't care about looks, I just need a guy who genuinely likes me" I spoke back.

Diamond Tiara put her glass in the sink and came over to the back door with me,

"Bye Dad" I shouted out.

"Bye Hon" My dad called out.

I closed the door behind me, and then me and Diamond Tiara, walked up the hill to School,

"So you said you don't care about looks?" Diamond asked.

"Yeah, so?" I replied.

"Oh, nothing, it's just I'm into more stronger, tougher guys" She said.

"Which totally explains why you spent seven minutes in heaven with Pipsqueak, and spent an extra two weeks dating him" I made a come-back.

"Pip was different" Diamond explained.

"Of course he was" I sarcastically replied.

We both made it up to the School grounds, we passed Snips and Snails, Snips was looking distressed about something, and then me and DT made it to the entrance, sadly enough, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were in front of the entrance, which is a call for me to "get into character", however for Diamond Tiara, it's just normal for her,

"Out of our way, blank flanks" She shouted at them.

God, she's probably expecting me to say something,

"Yeah, um...blank flanks" I awkwardly shouted at them.

What the fuck was that? That was terrible. Oh my god, I wonder how many around us saw that. I always feel like crap when I do that to ponies that don't have their Cutie Mark, but me and Diamond Tiara have been friends since we were little, and if I don't do what she does, she'll probably won't be my friend anymore, and since she is almost completely horrible to everypony, ponies see her as a bitch, and since I follow in her hoofsteps, ponies see me as a bitch.

The bell rang, me and Diamond Tiara were already inside the building, sitting in our seats at the back row, I was at the very left and Diamond Tiara was beside me, then Miss Cheerilee came inside and greeted us with,

"Good morning, Class"

"Good morning, Miss Cheerilee" All of us greeted back.

"OK, so just to get this out of the way, if you haven't done your homework, raise your hoof, I won't get mad" Miss Cheerilee said.

Fucking hell, I knew this would be said soon. I raised my hoof along with two others, Twist and Snails,

"OK, my little ponies, I'm not mad at you three, I'm only slightly disappointed at you three, and I'm going to give you all a slight punishment.."

"Ahh no" Twist and Snails wailed.

Oh. My God. Give her a chance to finish what she's going to say,

"Let me finish, I was going to say you're not getting detention, though I am going to change the seating plan, though it's only for a week. See, not a huge punishment" She told Twist and Snails.

Yeah, maybe let her finish next time, you impatient ponies.

Besides, seating changes aren't a bad punishment, and since it's only for a week, I can't really argue with the teacher, and I guess it really depends who I sit beside,

"Twist?" My teacher asked of her.

"Yesh, Missh Cheerilee?" She asked back.

"Can you move over to Silver Spoon's desk please" Cheerilee commanded.

Oh right, I see now, it's a three-way swap, Twist goes to my desk, Snails goes to hers and I go to his.

I moved out of Twist's way so she could sit beside Diamond Tiara, and all I would to be saying is,

"Good luck, because, you better get used to her making fun of you, because she is harsh, brutal and takes absolutely no chances what so fucking ever"

But I don't want to scare the poor filly, she'll just get what's coming, and I feel complete sorrow for her,

"Snails, can you move to Twist's desk please?" She told him.

He got his stuff and moved to Twist's desk, while he was getting his stuff, she moved over to my desk and sat there with a face that told me she is scared out of her mind. Snails then made it to his new seat, beside Dinky Hooves at the very right of the second row. Then my teacher to me,

"OK, I guess you don't need to be told to sit in Snails' seat, Silver Spoon"

"No, Miss" I replied to her.

"OK, everypony. I need to finish this paperwork, chat to yourselves just now if you want" She told us all.

I dragged my things two rows forward, still at the very left and I was put beside Snips, Snails' best friend. Snips is a nice dude, I will admit, really generous and polite, though around his friend, he can be a somewhat immature jackass, much like how I'm a bitch to others with Diamond Tiara. Also in my row were the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I saw their faces when I was bringing my things over and they looked pissed to see me, no wonder, based on the fact me and Diamond have terrorized them for ages. I checked my saddle-pack for a pencil but I didn't find anything, except my jotters and a book I'm meant to hand back to Twilight after School. Since I don't have a pencil, my only choices are to ask Cheerilee, who is still doing her paperwork and would probably get aggravated if I asked her at this time, for a pencil, or ask the possible stoner sitting beside. I go for the latter, by nudging him on his left foreleg,

"Excuse me, Snips?" I asked him.

"Uh...yeah?" He replied, sounding slightly groggily.

"Sorry to ask, but I was hoping you'd have an extra pen or pencil I could borrow? I asked again.

He nodded quickly, "Sure, let me check"

"Thank you" I replied and smiled at him.

He got his saddle on his desk from under it, and scavenged for a pencil, he got out a pencil and eraser for himself and levitated an extra pencil for me, the sweetie,

"Here you g-"

THUD. A loud bang came from the right side of the building, causing Snips to get a fright and drop his pencil, and I'm pretty sure everypony got a fright, even I did. So Cheerilee told us she was going outside to see what caused the thud, personally I think Rainbow Dash was drinking too much and she flew into the wall,

"Oops, sorry I dropped my pencil" Snips apologized.

"It's OK" I replied.

"I'll get it" he said to me, whilst he was leaning over to get it.

"No, no, let me" I spoke back to him, also leaning forward to get it.

The two of us both leaned forward at the time, causing our heads to bump together, it actually kind of hurt me, but not too much, and Snips didn't mean it, so I can't really argue with him,

"Ouch" I said.

"Sorry" He replied to me.

"Ha, it's OK, I should've let you get it yourself, I should say sorry" I laughed slightly whilst rubbing the sore part of my skull.

"No need to be sorry" Snips told me.

"OK, thanks" I smiled at him at him again.

I let him lean over again to pick his pencil up, he levitated it on to my desk,

"Thanks, Snips, I'll give it back to you by the end of the day" I told him.

"Sure thing" He replied.

Suddenly Miss Cheerilee came back inside after inspecting what made that loud on the outside wall, she never told us what it was, but I still hold to my Rainbow Dash suspection,

"OK, Class, let's start our today's lesson, and I'll be sure that no more animals fly into the wall outside" Miss Cheerilee told us, "OK, so whoever did do their homework, please raise their hoof" She said to us.

All of the ponies in class, with the exception of me, Twist and Snails, raised their hooves. then Cheerilee decided to test one of the ponies who had their hoof raised,

"Sweetie Belle, what was it we were researching?" She asked and pointed at her.

Sweetie Belle replied with, "The History of the Grand Galloping Gala"

"And why do you think we're researching it at this time?" Cheerilee asked again.

"Because....um....it's coming up soon?" She painfully and awkwardly replied, as she was taking a guess.

"Correct, it's coming up, so I can't think of another time to talk about it" Our teacher explained to us.

That could be interesting, if I plan on going on a date with somepony to the Gala, maybe it would good to get a little history of the event before I go, though I've heard it's a huge party, mostly attended by posh, Canterlot ponies, a type of pony I don't like particularly, mainly because they think we're scumbags because we're not as rich as them, and I don't hold well to that,

"So what can you tell me about the Gala?" Cheerilee asked us.

Snips raised his hoof, attempting to be a smartass,

"Yes, Snips" Cheerilee pointed at him.

"It comes once every year, being a celebration of the day of Celestia's Coronation" He replied to her.

"You're right about it being once a year, the other answer, not so much" Cheerilee told him.

And everypony in class sniggered and giggled at him, maybe because his determination to impress us was overcome by an unsatisfying pay-off for him, the poor guy,

"OK, so the reason we have the Grand Galloping is because it's a party in honor of the Princess sister's mother's birthday"

Diamond Tiara raised her hoof,

"Yes, Diamond Tiara?" She asked her.

"How come it's called the Grand Galloping Gala?" Diamond Tiara replied and asked.

"Well, since it's one of the biggest parties in Equestria, that's where the "Grand" stands in it's title, and believe it or not, it never used to be a party for all ponies in Canterlot, it used to be a march for the soldiers before Celestia and Luna's reign, and the name stuck" She explained to her student.

"Oh right" Diamond Tiara replied.

"And that's why it's called the Grand Galloping Gala, Diamond Tiara" She said to her as she looked at the clock above the blackboard, "OK Class, since that it's almost recess, just wait in a line by the door"

Everypony almost instantly left their seats and waited in line, but me and Diamond Tiara were the two late ones to the line and made it to the back of the line,

"How's your new seat?" Diamond asked me.

"It's not too bad, at least I'm not sitting right beside the Cutie Mark Crusaders" I replied.

"Yeah, the fucking blank flanks" She whispered to me, so Cheerilee doesn't hear us cussing.

"Don't you think, you're maybe a tad too harsh to them?" I asked her.

"Not really, I do what I want, when I want" She told me.

Holy shit, my friend is a psychopath,

"Maybe just give them a day of not hearing it, maybe don't make fun of them everyday" I explained to her.

"Well, maybe if they had their Cutie Marks then they'd have my respect" Diamond Tiara replied to me.

"Ha, Pip never had his Cutie Mark and you gave him plenty of respect" I jokingly told her.

"Shut up, I said Pip was different" She spoke back.

"How?" I asked her.

"He just is" She replied.

There is no point for me to begin arguing with her, she'll just get more aggravated and get depressed, and will take her anger out on someone, so really, no one would be happy,

"OK, if you say so" I said.

"Yeah, I say so" She said back.

The bell rang, time for recess, a ten minute break where i can chat to my friend about what she's doing tonight, or maybe something that won't make her pissed off or depressed at me.

---

OK, the end of the school happens during recess, for one thing, my teacher was vomiting up the bacon and eggs she had for breakfast this morning, so now me and the rest of my class are pretty happy. Cheerilee said that we could have our lunches on school grounds, then go home, after she said that, she made her way home to possibly vomit some more. So me and Diamond Tiara had our lunches at the shadier side of the school, to keep cool. For lunch, I had a salad, since I'm vegetarian and Diamond Tiara had a ham sandwich, we both sat there in silence, she was pissed at me and I was annoyed at her for being horrible to everypony,

Diamond Tiara sighed, "Sorry about that back there"

"I'm sorry too" I apologized as well.

"You're right about me being too harsh to them the more I think about it" She told me.

"I'm just sorry about all the stuff I said about you and Pip" I told her.

"It's alright" She replied, "Listen, I know I can be a bitch sometimes.."

"You know, the word "sometimes" means.." I interrupted her.

"OK, I can be a bitch a lot of the time, but when the fact of the matter is.." She paused.

"Is what?" I asked her.

"I suffer from a mood disorder" She replied with her eyes closed, expecting a negative reaction, "One of things I do to stop myself from completely turning into a psycho is making fun of others, it makes me feel better. I'm sorry I never told you before"

Wow, I knew my friend had something wrong with her, but I never knew it was a mental illness. This is the most deep thing she's ever said to me, and I never knew about it,

"Oh my god, how long have you had it?" I asked her.

"Five years" She replied.

"Wow, DT, I'm sorry to hear that. What kind of disorder do you have?" I asked again.

"I'm not sure, but my mom said I'm able to make myself calmer by using my own made-up methods, and making fun of people seems to do the trick" She explained to me as she finally finished her sandwich.

"Shit. Well...do you to talk about it or something else?" I asked.

"Something else please" She replied.

"Doing anything tonight?" I asked.

"I don't think so" She replied, "What about you?"

"No, that's why I asked" I jokingly replied.

"Oh right" She chuckled.

"So no, I'm not doing anything. Maybe you'd want to come around to my house tonight" I optioned.

"That'd be cool" Diamond agreed.

Diamond felt much more happy now, and due to me finding out she has a mental illness, really makes view my friend differently, because even though I don't necessarily agree on her making fun of others, but she at least has a reason why she does it, but maybe I can talk her into using a different method,

"Listen, Silver, I'll be going now, I'll catch you later" She said as she got up.

"See you" I bid farewell.

Diamond nodded and left the school grounds to make her way back home, I still sat at the shadier side of the school by myself, everypony else was at the other side, but it was peaceful here, the wind lightly brushing off the leaves and the bird tweeting, it was nice. As I finished the final pieces of lettuce, tomatoes and carrots, I noticed that I didn't hear any banter or chat on the other side, so either, they have all quieted down, or I'm the only one left on school grounds.

I finished my salad and put the tub I was eating the salad out of, back in my saddle-pack. I then got myself up and got my saddle-pack ready, I then made it to the other side of the school, to see nopony there, they all gone,

I sighed, "Well, I guess I might as well take this book I have back to the library" I spoke to myself.

I left the school grounds and walked down the road that was closest to the library, thinking to myself more about the Gala. Can I get a date? Does it really matter who he is? I can't be sure, but I only hope it's somepony nice, somepony who cares, somepony like...

"Alright man. Catch you later" A voice spoke out.

"Sure thing, dude. I'll get those tickets as well" Another voice followed after.

I moved further up the street to see that the two ponies speaking were Snips and Snails. Wait, holy shit, of course! I need somepony like Snips, he's a nice guy, really polite, kind and generous, besides I think he might like me, and I like him. He is also willing to give things to others, like a pencil. Oh fuck, I haven't given that back yet. I started to pick up the pace and started to shout his name,

"Snips! Snips!"

He turned around to see I was galloping up to him,

"Snips! Snips!" I cried out, "Can you wait there please?!" I loudly asked him.

"Sure!" He shouted back to me.

I caught up to him, I was gasping for air in exhaust, after picking up a fast pace to catch up to him,

"I was just heading somewhere until I saw you" I explained to him, "I just wanted to give you this back"

"Give me what?" He questioned.

"Oh, let me get it" I just realized.

She twisted my head into the left pouch in my saddle-pack and dug through my things to get his pencil he lent to me about half an hour ago, I showed it to him and he said,

"Oh that?" He asked, "That's OK, you can keep it" Snips added.

"Come on, I just galloped over to you just to give this back and you won't accept it? I asked him.

"Well, since you put in the effort, I'll take it off your hooves" He told me.

I thought so,

"Thanks" I smiled.

"No problem" He replied.

He took his pencil back and placed it in his saddle-pack, he then asked,

"So...uh...you said you were headed somewhere?" He asked me.

Aww, he's looking for something to say, how adorable, I can tell he likes me,

"Yeah, I was heading to the library" I replied to his question.

"Cool, I'm heading there as well" Snips told me.

"Awesome, you handing a book or taking one out? I asked him.

Handing one in, it's just something about the Grand Galloping. What about you?" He replied and asked me.

"Handing in Daring Do and the Fires of the Ice Tomb" I told him.

"Cool" He said, "Cool books, eh?"

"Yeah, fun ones, I like all that adventure sort of stuff, I know it's more of a boy thing, but I don't care, you know?" I ranted on.

"Yeah, I know" He replied, "So, uh...you want to walk with me, to the library, if you want?" He shyly asked.

"Yeah. Yeah" I replied, "Sure"

Aww, this adorable, he's the perfect date for me, I just hope he's asks me out on a date, or better yet, a date to the Gala.

[Mile High]

I don't know about you but if someone called me adorable I'd take that as a insult

[Mile High]

Damn I just got done reading the second chapter and I see that the third one got posted
That's crazy

[ServingSpoon]

Ponies eating ham and bacon seem so wrong

But I love the romance slowly blossoming and the revelation that DT has a mood disorder. Could be that she's bipolar or suffers from depression or both in my case.
