Ooh! I see! Without the boys there at the initial meeting and some of the following encounters, Babs ended up reacting as she had in the original version of the episode!
Although I always did wonder what Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were doing at the CMC clubhouse, considering that it is deep inside Sweet Apple Acres property, and I highly doubt that they had been invited by anypony.
So far, my best guess is that Filthy Rich had some business with the Apples and just happened to have his daughter and her friend along, and they had been sent out to play with the girls so they wouldn't get bored. That, and DT and SS being perfectly aware that Babs is a blank-flank, but purposely manipulating the situation to not only make Bab's turn on the CMC, but to have her do things that they themselves know could get them in trouble if they were caught doing them. In other words, in my mind, poor Babs was being set up to take a fall later. It's just that either the expected fall wasn't as bad as they thought, or the actual fall-out occurred before they could get around to getting Babs into even deeper trouble...
4946966 Now that u mention it, you're right - it didn't make sense for those hussies to be there at all, and i agree they were manipulating Babs and would've turned on her should things have gone south for them.
But they won't get away with it, and neither will Babs. Becoming a bully to avoid being bullied is not an excuse, regardless of what her own had done to her.
4947028 Never suggested that Babs should get away with anything, just that whatever punishment take both her situation and what she did about it into account. In the show, she was sent home early, and we never see what punishment (if any) her own folks gave her, so it seems to us that she got away with just a slap on the wrist. There are other options besides sending her home though. Being grounded and having extra chores seem reasonable, and she and Apple Bloom might end up working their issues out as they serve out their punishment together.
Let's be honest, Bab's isn't the only filly who effectively got away scot free. The CMC's revenge plan could have seriously hurt somepony. Also, all Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon got was a brief scare from Bab's at the end of the episode, which isn't really a punishment, as they can turn around and honestly claim to their parents that Babs was being a bully (and then lie about Babs putting them up to the stunts they pulled in the episode.
A better come-uppance in the episode would have been if Applejack, as a responsible adult witness, told DT and SS that she would be having a discussion with their parents about their behavior - and then followed through with it. Applejack already had a reputation for integrity even before she became the bearer of the Element of Honesty, and it's been shown that at least Filthy Rich holds the Apples in high regard, even if his daughter doesn't (maybe her behavior stems from jealousy issues?). If Applejack explains the situation and states that while Apple Bloom and Babs are being punished for their parts, that it still doesn't excuse what DT and SS have done, chances are that at least Filthy Rich will act appropriately (no idea about Silver Spoon's parents, as we haven't seen them in the show yet).
All in all, I'd like to see Babs able to stay around at least a bit longer. Obviously something must have gone right once she returned home, because the next time we see her in the show, she's a much better filly. I just like to think that what happened was an appropriate parental response that we just happened to not see because she was sent off-screen.
4947098 I never said I would exclude the hussies in retribution, did I?
4947126 No, you didn't.
I was just lamenting that they got away with what they did in the original episode.
I'm looking forward to how you handle the situation in the retelling!
You know what I don't understand?
I don't understand how 65 people could dislike this. It's nicely done and amazing to read. If it's because it's kind of a HiE Fic, then they shouldn't of clicked on the story anyway.
Good job on the story though, I look forward to reading more.
4947158 thank u for those kind words
Da, 101 chapters... WOW! To season 4! :D
shouldn't it be 180 attitude since he turned around and went the other way with his attitude?
If you're going to transition from one location to another, put some kind of break in between. Otherwise it's confusing. One moment they're at the arcade, then suddenly they're eating pizza half a second later at another establishment.
