Silver Spoon befriends the Cutie Mark Crusaders

I’m friends with a monster, Silver Spoon thought to herself. It had taken her years, but now she finally realized how bad Diamond Tiara truly was.

“Hah, losers!” Diamond Tiara laughed as the Cutie Mark Crusaders waddled in mud. The Cutie Mark Crusaders had done nothing wrong (except copious amounts of property damage), and yet here they were, mocking them for no reason (other than their stupidity).

How I wish I could be their friend, instead of hers, Silver thought sadly. They were the kindest fillies in school-

“Apple Bloom, you stupid country hick! Look at what you did to my scooter!”

And they never put each other down.

“Aw, shut up, ya chicken!” Apple Bloom replied with a glare. “It’s not mah fault ya drive like a drunk!”

And they always owned up to their mistakes.

“...I like Elmo’s World,” Sweetie muttered as she watched her two friends fight.

Indeed, they would be a much better friend than Diamond Tiara.

“Hey, Silver Spoon. You want to hang out at the milkshake bar? My treat!” Diamond Tiara offered with a smile. A no doubt devilish smile that was clearly evil.

I wonder what evil lurks in that mind of hers, Silver thought to herself, her courage to stand up to this bully increasing with every second.

Silver Spoon’s birthday’s coming up soon. I wonder what I should get her? Diamond Tiara thought (EVILLY) to herself. She likes cartoons...maybe a couple of ‘Adventure Time’ figures? Truly Diamond Tiara cared little for Silver Spoon. Finally Silver had enough of Diamond Tiara’s lies. She would now stand up to herself.

“Diamond Tiara, I hate you!” Silver shouted, causing Diamond Tiara to gasp.

“W-what? Why?” Diamond Tiara asked, tears spilling from her eyes. Silver Spoon felt no pity as she glared at her now nemesis.

“Because you make fun of the Crusaders every day!”

“...So do you!” Diamond Tiara accused, much to Silver’s annoyance.

“You are a horrible influence, and I shall never be your friend again!” Silver said as she walked up to the confused Crusaders. “From now on, I am a friend to the Crusaders!” Silver said with a smile. Everypony stared in shock, unable to say anything. Eventually the Crusaders smiled, and rose from the mud. Together, they held their heads high, and shouted with all of their might:

“CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS FRIEND STEALERS YAY!!!”

---

The four fillies walked with each other, all having a large smile upon their faces, for completely different reasons. Silver was happy she finally kicked that good for nothing ‘friend’ of hers to the curb, Scootaloo was happy cause she actually had lunch that day (the orphanage often starved her for being disruptive), Apple Bloom was happy cause she got mud in her fur (typical earth pony filth), and Sweetie was happy cause later that day Elmo’s World would have a marathon.

“So, what do you gals wanna do first?” Silver Spoon asked excitedly. She finally got to hang out with truly good ponies, who knew how to have real fun. She couldn’t wait to hear their suggestions.

“Hmm, ah don’t know,” Apple Bloom said with a shrug. “Wanna see if we can git our cutie marks in arson?”

“YEAH!” her fellow Crusaders quickly agreed, much to the shock of Silver Spoon.

“Arson? But isn’t that-”

“CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ARSONATORS YAY!” the trio shouted with joy. They quickly ran off ahead of Silver Spoon, who tried dilligentley to keep up.

M-maybe they’re just joking? she tried to reason. I mean, not even they’re stupid enough to- her thoughts trailed off as a sea of flames began burning down all of Sweet Apple Acres. ...I’m sure they didn’t mean to do that.

“That was fun!” Scootaloo said with a smile. She then turned to Silver Spoon and gave her a tight hug. “Hey, after this, you wanna come over to my place? I have my own cardboard box,” Scootaloo said with a wink.

“...Maybe some other time,” Silver declined as she gently plucked away Scootaloo’s hoof. Okay, they’re a bit creepy. B-but I’m sure it’ll get better as time goes on- she was interrupted as Apple Bloom quickly appeared before her, a stick tied to her muzzle.

“Hey Silver! Look, ah’m a elephant!” Apple Bloom squee’d as she blew her nose at Silver Spoon.

“That’s...nice,” Silver Spoon said as she wiped away Apple Bloom’s snot with an irritated smile. This is...fun. Way better than hanging out with DT, Silver Spoon thought to herself. Yes, hanging out with the Crusaders was much more fun than hanging out with Diamond-

“I have an idea!” Scootaloo shouted with a raised hoof. “Let’s get our cutie marks in attempted murder!!”

“In what?!” Silver Spoon yelled, looking aghast. “Y-you’re joking, right?! We could go to prison!”

“Yeah!” Apple Bloom agreed with a smile. “Let’s do it!” Apple Bloom said with a smile, earning cheers from her fellow crusaders.

“...Oh sweet Celestia Diamond was right,” Silver Spoon muttered as she silently sneaked away from the Cutie Mark Crusaders. She had to patch things up with Diamond Tiara, or else she would forever be friends with…them.

“Stupid Silver Spoon, abandoning me for those blank flanks,” Diamond Tiara muttered, poking at her hay loaf in annoyance.

“It’s a tragedy, Miss Tiara,” Randolph agreed with a nod.

“Exactly! You know what?” Diamond Tiara asked as she turned to her butler.

“What, Miss Tiara?”

“I don’t care if she ever comes back! I will never forgive her for this betrayal!” Diamond Tiara growled. It was at that moment her doorbell rang. “I bet that’s her right now!” Diamond Tiara yelled as she got up from her seat. She quickly made her way to the door and opened it, seeing a teary eyed Silver Spoon in front of her.

“I was wrong!” Silver Spoon sobbed. “I was terribly wrong! They’re horrible! Please, take me back?” Silver Spoon begged. Diamond Tiara didn’t budge however, continuing to glare at her former friend.

“No,” Diamond Tiara said as she slammed the door in Silver Spoon’s face. Diamond Tiara quickly walked away from her door, until she heard silent sniffling. Is she crying? Diamond Tiara asked herself. With a sigh she turned back and opened her door, seeing a sniveling Silver Spoon before her.

“Please?” she begged, tugging at Diamond Tiara’s heartstrings. Groaning to herself, Diamond Tiara moved aside and motioned for her friend.

“Alright, you’re forgiven,” she said, a small smile appearing on her lips.

other than they’re stupidity

Delicious irony. Silly English language.

[Telaros]

This is how every Silver story ends up in one way or another. Silver never learns her lesson though and continues to repeat the process over and over and over and over and... This is how every Silver Spoon story ends up in one way or another, she just forgets and slightly approaches the splitting up with Diamond Tiara in slightly different ways as she goes out to find better alternatives than having just one best friend who accepts you for who you are.

That must explain why we only ever see the same basic concept. Silver Spoon gets amnesia after every redemption story. That must be it. That, or no one ever reads Silver Spoon redemption stories but like the concept so they give it upvotes and favs but can't name a thing beyond the description to tell one story apart from the other.

Silly Spoon, why can't you ever do anything new?

[Seether00]

Waaaaaa?

[L0rd0f7hund3r]

4600145 Yeah, I'm similarly confused...

[AdamAperture]

Attempted murder... cool, can I try that with you guys?

[FanOfMostEverything]

...and yet here they were, mocking them for no reason (other than they’re stupidity).

This is probably a typo, but I actually like the idea of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon thinking that the Crusaders are physical incarnations of the concept of stupidity.

...Apple Bloom was happy cause she got mud in her fur (typical earth pony filth)...

Um...

Eh, this is meant as a silly story, and a silly story it is. Thank you for it.

[MythrilMoth]

That...was pretty terrible.

...I did something stupid, and I feel terrible for it

[MoveAlongMoveAlong]

How do you suppose Silver Spoon would look as a senior citizen?

[ServingSpoon]

not your best work but it does depict how I feel about the CMC. while not THAT bad they are a danger to themselves and every pony around them.

I like as individuals but as a group they can be reckless and dangerous fools.

It's like this was actually written BY Diamond Tiara and how she see's the CMC and how she can't understand why anyone would expect Silver Spoon to be their friend and leave her for them.

don't take it so hard though. you were bound to write one fic I didn't care for.

[Mattricole]

5158876 I also feel this is among my weaker fics, but both the idea and Telaros would not leave me alone

[ServingSpoon]

5158994 I still love most of your Diamond related fics! The Diamond Cutters should give you like, some kind of award for best author of short and either bittersweet or 100% positive DT stories

even your darker depictions of her don't leave her heartless or soulless and therefore unlovable.

she is always somepony you can sympathize or empathize with when you write her. She is not cruel just for the sake of devouring ponies and spitting them out to watch them cry.

[Morning Dusk]

I feel that this story was extremely rushed. And the CMC are a bit too sadistic. In your view, pretty soon they will be shouting "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BLOOD RUNE DRAWERS YAY!!!!"

[superfun]

What's with you and having Sweetie Belle be obsessed with Elmo's World?

[Mattricole]

5569751 It's a good show. At least, that's what my nostalgia is telling me. I have a feeling if I go back and watch it I would have the intense feeling of wanting to bash my head against the wall.

[superfun]

5571221 ah

[femikol]

Wait... What the hell did I just read?

[Silvestra Spooner]

This reads like a lost FiW script. Still, it's good for a laugh, even if it is massively nonsensical and OOC.

[INACTIVE_ACCOUNT]

This feels like an episode of Ultra Fast Pony...

[Kichi]

And we see the true face of the crusaders...

[TheLonelyDraconequus]

Well. That was... surprisingly good.
