Act VII: What Have You Done
Diamond Tiara walked through Ponyville with a bright smile on her face. Smashing that orange chicken's scooter was the most fun she'd had in a long time. It ranked right up there by humiliating all those ponies with that Gabby Gums column. She wasn't like those goody four shoe Cutie Mark Crusaders, she liked holding such power. That's what her Cutie Mark was for, leading the Proles, controlling those lower than her, and relishing in power of the inferior.
She sighed contentedly as she entered into the school house. She was very much surprised when she saw that the classroom was empty with the exception of Ms. Cheerilee. Confused, Diamond Tiara entered the room and looked around at all the empty seats. She then turned to Ms. Cheerilee, and saw that the school teacher did not look happy.
With an angry expression, Cheerilee got out from behind the desk and slowly walked towards Diamond Tiara. The filly looked up at the irate teacher, wondering what had gotten into her.
Cheerilee got to about one foot away from Diamond Tiara. She gave her an extra long death glare for a tense period of time. Then, out of nowhere, the teacher shouted in the filly's face.
What have you done now?!
Diamond Tiara was knocked clear out of the school house as Cheerilee turned around and bucked her in the face. Cheerilee's rear hooves connected with Tiara's cheek and sent her sprawling out the door and onto the dirty ground.
Diamond Tiara lay on the ground shocked for a moment, but then she clenched her teeth and said, "My daddy's gonna KILL YOU!"
Diamond got up, only to find herself face to face with Scootaloo, and she looked just as angry as Cheerilee, if not more so. Diamond backed up nervously, as if Scootaloo's words were pushing her back.
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now!
Diamond Tiara turned to run, but she found her path blocked by Silver Spoon. The grey filly had tears in her eyes, although she looked more disgusted than sad.
I know I should stop believing
I know there's no retrieving
It's over now,
What have you done?
Diamond Tiara's jaw dropped at Silver Spoons words. She backed up slowly and looked around. She saw that Scootaloo, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Button Mash, and Dinky were all making a circle around her.
Sweetie Belle's horn glowed with magic, and with a flash, everyone was wielding sledgehammers identical to the one Diamond Tiara had used.
Sweetie Belle glared at Diamond Tiara.
What have you done now?!
Diamond Tiara quickly rushed between Button Mash and Dinky, dodging two awkward sledgehammer swings. As she ran through the streets of Ponyville in a desperate search of a hiding place, she could hear the voice of Silver Spoon singing out to her.
I
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
"What have you done now?!" Button Mash shouted.
Why?!
why do you make us suffer?
There's a curse between us,
between me and you!
As Diamond Tiara ran into the Library and slammed the door shut behind her, she could hear the entire town raising an angry chant.
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
It was dark and quiet in the Library, so Diamond Tiara felt a bit more at ease. "Why are they all trying to kill me! All I did was smash that worthless Pegasus' piece of junk scooter. The flightless waste should've been euthanized long ago. . ." she thought bitterly.
Suddenly the lights turned on. Diamond turned around to Sweetie Belle standing over her, holding the sledgehammer up high.
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
'Cause you have-
Diamond Tiara didn't know how she did it, but she had somehow managed to smash right through the wooden door. However, she ended up running right into Silver Spoon, who finished the lyrics Sweetie Belle started.
-turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now,
What have you done?
Diamond Tiara backed away, her eyes filled with hate. "Traitor!" she snarled. However, the sound of flapping wings and spinning wheels caused her to turn to the left. Scootaloo was back on her scooter, which seemed to be all fixed, and she was holding her sledgehammer high.
What have you done now?!
Diamond screamed as she turned and ran for her life. She looked up and saw the other five young ponies looking down at her from the rooftops. Silver Spoon and Sweetie Belle's voices rang out clearly.
I
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
"What have you done now?!" Button Mash shouted.
Why?!
why do you make us suffer?
There's a curse between us,
between me and you!
Diamond Tiara ran through fruit and vegetable stands in an attempt to loose her pursuer. However, she could clearly hear the sound of fruit stands being smashed out of the way by a sledgehammer. All the while, the unseen ponies of the town chanted angrily.
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?!
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?!
"Shut up! Shut up! EVERYONE SHUT-UP!" Diamond Tiara screamed.
Without warning, Scootaloo jumped over Tiara on her scooter, and swung her sledgehammer down low, catching her tiara. The tiara landed on the ground, and Scootaloo landed and skidded to a halt next to it. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle joined her side.
We will not fall,
Won't let it go
We will be free
When it ends!
Diamond Tiara's eyes widened in horror as three fillies raised their sledgehammer, and began whaling on the expensive tiara with all their might. She turned to see Silver Spoon leading Button Mash and Dinky towards her.
I
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
"What have you done now?!" Button Mash shouted.
Why?!
Why do you make us suffer?
There's a curse between us,
Between me and you!
Diamond Tiara was trembling in fear as the three ponies surrounded her, sledgehammers at the ready.
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
"What have you done now?!" Button Mash shouted.
Why?!
Why do you make us suffer?
There's a curse between us,
Silver Spoon stood over Diamond Tiara and held her sledgehammer high.
Between me and you!
She brought it down hard.
Diamond Tiara woke up screaming. She screamed so loudly that her vanity mirror cracked in half. She sucked in huge gulps of air as her mane hung down wet and stringy from all the sweat. She felt hot and cold at the same time, and her body was trembling like mad.
Filthy Rich burst into the room with a look of concern on his face. "Honey! Princess! What is it!? What's wrong!?"
Diamond Tiara hugged her blanket close to her chest as she struggled to find the words to say. After a minute of gasping for breath and gulping, she finally managed to find her voice.
"It's . . .okay," she whispered, "Just a bad dream. . ." Suddenly, a spark of opportunity ignited in her evil little brain. "Maybe I can use my terrible nightmare to get those foals punished big time!" she thought. She kept up her traumatized expression, which actually wasn't too hard, and continued speaking to her father. "It was. . .so awful! I was-."
Diamond Tiara voice was suddenly turned off. As she was speaking, here eyes had drifted around the room. They soon reached her nightstand, on which she always set her tiara down as she slept. However, in place of the expensive tiara was a pile of smashed and mangled metal and scratched diamond.
Diamond Tiara screamed even louder the second time.
"-I just happened to walk by Filthy Rich and the doctor, and I overheard the whole thing. Everything I told you came straight from the horses' mouths," Spike said to Silver Spoon and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Wow. . .a nightmare so terrible that she had to stay home from school. . ." Applebloom said..
Spike shuddered, "It must have been pretty bad if Filthy Rich couldn't even get her to tell him about it."
Silver Spoon nodded, "Well, I'd say she got what she deserved. And best of all, no one got hurt in this. She got a good scare that'll make her think twice about making others miserable!"
Scootaloo threw a foreleg around Sweetie Belle's shoulder and smiled, "We owe it all to Sweetie Belle's magic singing!"
"Yeah. . ." Spike said shakily, giving a smile to Sweetie Belle.
"Aw, it was no trouble at all!" Sweetie Belle said bashfully.
"Just wait until Tuesday, when you all hear the song I have for my knight in green scaly armor! Speaking of which, I could use some more inspiration. . ."
"Um, hey Spike?" Sweetie Belle asked with a smile, "I was wondering, if you we could have some cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner while I show you my song ideas-."
"No! Um, I - I -I mean. . .well," Spike fiddled with his claws, "I promised, um, Rarity I'd help her out today! Yeah, yeah, that's right! I can't disappoint her!"
Sweetie Belle felt a twinge of unpleasantness inside of her at this, but she couldn't put her hoof on what it was or why it was there. Sure, she was disappointed that Spike had another engagement, but that just wasn't it.
"Oh. . .okay. . .maybe tomorrow?" Sweetie Belle asked tentatively.
Spike smiled and nodded, "Yeah, sure. Oh, um, I think I'm already late. See you later!"
Sweetie Belle watched him go.
"He's such a noble, responsible, honest, and kind dragon. That's why I love him so much. . . but why do I feel so bad right now? He has to go help my big sis. It would be wrong to disappoint her. So what's the problem?"
"Hello! Earth to Sweetie Belle!" Scootaloo shouted.
"You don't have to shout," Sweetie Belle said in annoyance.
"We were just saying that we should build a skate park so Scootaloo can practice her moves and even teach other ponies!" Applebloom said.
"You could give us a good skate park building song!" Scootaloo said.
"Skate park building song?" Sweetie Belle repeated.
"Yeah! Singing always goes with building! Like when the whole Apple Family raised the barn during the reunion!" Applebloom said excitedly.
Sweetie Belle shrugged and smiled, "Alright, I'm there."
"Awesome!" Scootaloo shouted.
"I'll help out too!" Silver Spoon said cheerfully.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS: SKATE PARK BUILDERS! YAY!"
As the four fillies set of on their endeavor, Sweetie Belle just couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right regarding the situation with Spike.
Curtian!

I almost feel that way about Sweetie Belle.
Well, not really, but I'll still relish the time when things come crashing down on her.
3374466
I'm glad that we're all starting to understand the point of the story.
3374443 I can't wait for that... that's going to be the BEST PART!
Not really, but you know what I mean.
Seeing the songs we recommended, I don't think the crashing down is gonna come to lightly.
All the better for all the more insane...
By? That buy means purchace.
Hear. Heard is past-tense, and she was thinking future-tense.
And, in all seriousness, I would be glad to be your editor.
3377577
I fixed them.
3382634 Despite the fact of ONE swear inside of the song, I suggest "The Trial" by Pink Floyd
I know this is late, but could you add the song " take a bow" by muse?
