The New Me is Happy
Applebloom finally found herself in front of Diamond Tiara's house, drenched in cold rain. It had taken hours, walking in mud and a wet mane full of dirt, but she was there! The mare let out a small sigh of relief by seeing that somepony was home. Applebloom knew she would be home herself soon.
After getting her cutie mark, which was an apple and flowers, Applejack had allowed her to help the rest of the Apple family. It had run in the family, and she was now glad to see that she herself could make it possible. Besides, now her older siblings could know relax and help Granny Smith, who was soon approaching her deathbed. It was sad, yes, but Granny seemed to be fine with it. All ponies grow old. It was life, and everypony should live out their dreams before it. Applebloom didn't seem to be very focused of those terms. Her happy ending would come soon.
Since Big Mac and Applejack had to take care of a large cider order from a large wedding of a richer pony, so they had to step out for while. Leaving Applebloom in charge. Carrying a crate of cider, she had to make sure that everything was in order and was clean. But mostly because somepony was going to be there. Diamond Tiara. Ever since the two of them were fillies, they never got along. Ever. It was always petty insults and massive rivalries between the two, and nothing the did made it any better for that cause. The fights made Applebloom cry in her room every night, and Diamond Tiara felt no sympathy at all. The bullying continued as they got older, which was enough for Applejack and Big Mac. They finally took Applebloom out of school and taught her themselves. It was hard, but worth it. Now it had been year since Applebloom had seen her. All she could do was to hope this time she would get lucky.
Stepping onto the porch with bags under her eyes and shaky hooves. The crate was very heavy, but must have been no problem for her brother, of course. She didn't like this house, it was large and too fancy, and the fact that there was heavy rain all over her didn't make it seem better. The shirt stuck to her chest and raspberry colored hair covered half of Applebloom's face with a soggy bow on top. Great way to make a first impression, she thought. Grabbing the wooden crate by one hand, she rang the door bell.
At first, it had been a few minutes until someone came. All she could hear was the sound f rain dropping onto the ground and the roof. But finally, with a quick peek through the window, she saw an eye. With that, the door opened.
Another mare stepped outside in front of Applebloom. Her coat was a bright shade of pink and her eye were an amazing, dreamy blue. Hair long and wavy with a light purple touch and white streak own the middle, she was flawless. Applebloom couldn't keep her eyes of the mare and her graceful manner. It wasn't like her to stare at others, but something seemed oddly beautiful abut her. But her mind slipped away once her saw a tiara upon the top of her head.
She blushed. Did she really just thought that Diamond Tiara looked hot? This was the pony she had hate forever! It wasn't right to think tha, but she kept doing it. Diamond, who was also looking a her, just wore a blank expression. Not a smug smile or an evil glare. Just a normal, plain face. Applebloom was confused at first, but just shook her head.
"I..er..."
"Applebloom? Is that you?"
Her voice was no longer annoying or girly, but rather a smooth sound like honey and a warm seasoning. It was music to Applebloom's ears, which made her a little light headed. Feeling a little funny, the mare just gave her a simple nod, trying not to seem nervous.
"Y-yes...I um...I brought these over. Your dad, um, ordered them yesterday." She blushed even harder with a small frown of humility. She was soaked and dirty, while Diamond Tiara was clean and good looking. Applebloom was thinking of bad thoughts, like what the mare must of thought of her right now. Weak. Ugly. She was sure of it. But to her surprise, Diamond Tiara smiled sweetly with an amazing flutter of eyelashes, causing the other mare to take a step back and hold herself. Why was she smiling like that? It wasn't normal for ponies like her, and made Applebloom's face turn into the color of a cherry.
"So, um, are you going to take these? Is your dad around or something...?" The farm pony lift the crate further upwards, her muscles visible. For some reason, she wanted to show Diamond Tiara her strength and abilities. Would she like that? Diamond Tiara seemed to, looking all over her body with an almost smug smile and a hand on her hip.
"No, my dads not home. Out for a dinner party. Why don't you come in? I'll pay for it."
Applebloom still didn't trust the mare, knowing she may do something bad. But with her baby blue eyes looking deep into her, she felt a knot in her throat at the thought of spending the night with pony. She promised Applejack she would be home in an hour or two, so she just nod again. "Oh, sure! Its a little wet though, so maybe I could just stay out here or go home-"
"Don't be silly!"
Diamond Tiara grabbed her wrist and yanked her inside the house. It was warm, and the climate changed quickly from a cold and eerie night to a hot romantic paradise. It smelled like cinnamon and sugar, which Applebloom got a scent of. Finally, a smile slipped onto her face as she made eye contact with Diamond Tiara. The two looked at each other, their noses almost touching. As the gaze felt for almost a minute and a half, Applebloom made a dumbfounded expression as their lips came closer. She reacted with a gasp and quickly looked away. Eyes stuck to the other side of the house, and coughed out some words. "Where d-do you want me to p-put this?" Feeling a little scared, a shiver was sent down her spine.
At first Diamond Tiara didn't answer, just looked at the mare. She did remember when they use to fight, but now as she looked closer, Applebloom had very much changed, which she liked. Moving closer toward her, she stroked the farm pony's hair. Applebloom flinched and nearly tripped over herself as the warm skin rubbed over her. "What the hay are you doing?!" She held grasp of Diamond's hoof and glared down at it with cloudy eyes. That was...random. Was she sure this was Diamond Tiara, and not some clone or twin sister? But she acted as if it was a misunderstanding, and just smiled. "Oh! Sorry! I jus really like what you did with your hair." Before Applebloom could complain, Diamond Tiara placed her hoof out. "You can put the crate over there."
Applebloom went to do so, and watched the mare from the corner of her eyes. She was grabbing a towel while wearing an expression that made her feel dizzy again. Why was Diamond flirting with her and teasing her? She didn't have a problem with it, but it all seemed too strange. Something about her made the heart in the chest burst open and fly out, and she wouldn't lie. She wanted to be Diamond Tiara's friend. She seemed to be better of a pony now, and not so rude. Maybe even more then friends. And now, even though it was hard to admit, she wanted that more then ever. Maybe even as a filly, she secretly wanted it.
That's awful. Stop lying to yourself.
Had she...really just thought that? Applebloom was very shocked at what had just crossed her mind. She ignored it and set the crate down. Diamond tiara gave her a towel to dry herself off from the rain. She smiled again with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Would you like some tea?"
"Uh...sure...I guess."
Diamond Tiara made her way into the kitchen as Applebloom sat down in a frilly chair, towel wrapped around her shoulder as she hoped for warmth. Tonight had been an odd one. She met up with somepony she would normally avoid and came closer to her. Was it a bad thing she liked Diamond Tiara now? What would Applejack think? What would Big Mac say? How would she tell others why she was staying at some house late at night sipping on tea? The moon was now full in the sky, and the clouds could not be seen in the sky for all she cared. Her siblings would be home by now. Panic crashed into her as Diamond Tiara came out of the kitchen with two cups of boiling hot tea.
"Diamond Tiara, listen." The mare stood up and shifted the towel to her neck. "I love that you are being nice and all, but I really gotta go home."
She seemed surprised at first, but then shook her head while closing her eyes with a tiny smile. "Don't worry Applebloom. I'll tell them that we had a little trouble finding money. Now come on. I want to talk to you."
With that, she turned around and head to the min section of the house. Setting herself on the leather couch, she gestured Applebloom to come over with a playful nod. Applebloom, of course, came.
She sat right next to the other mare and held the cup of tea in her hooves. It smelled of sugar and sweets, which she couldn't say no to. With a few sips, the talking began.
"You know," Diamon Tiara began. "The only reason I made fun of you is because I thought you were pretty cool. You're sister is an element who can save the world. Its much cooler then being rich. I always thought that...if I made fun of you, others would stop seeing you as an important figure and start noticing me. Same with the rest of your friends. Basically, I was a pretty bad attention whore," she laughed under her breath and set her cup down as Applebloom listened closely. It made sense now. All the insults, the bad remarks, all just to be noticed. "After Silverspoon moved to another town far from here...I had no friends, because she was my only one. Meanwhile, you were loved by many others. I was angry at first, but a I got older, I realized the world doesn't revolve around me. I'm so sorry."
Applebloom saw something in her eyes she had never seen before; shame. She felt awful, imagining what it would be like if she had never met Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle. The very thought was terrible. Diamond Tiara wasn't just a bratty pony who liked no one, but a lonely soul looking for someone to be around. Blinking, a small smile crept onto her face and froze.
"I forgive you."
Diamond Tiara nodded as she lowered her head with the weight of the past. She felt bad for the farm pony and worried. She caused pin to so many others...that it hurt herself. Like a knife to the heart. Bu with new respect, she managed to get herself together before looking up again.
"So...how are Scootloo and Sweetie Belle going?"
Applebloom knew this question would come, and she knew an answer. Setting her tea down too, she slipped a smile.
"Well, Scootaloo is a trainee for the Wonerbolts now. And Sweetie Belle is getting married next week."
Diamond Tiara nearly choked on her tea, not expecting that certain answer. They were already doing something this important in their lives? She was just sitting around doing nothing, which made her feel bad for a second. "You're kidding, right?"
Applebloom smiled and shook her head with a simple blink of an eye.
"I wish I was. I wont see the two for so long since their leaving. I guess I'll end up like you."
Then silence was battled between the two as they just sat, looking around. It was about a minute, and they just sat and thought of their old friends. And how much they missed having them around. But Diamond Tiara looked over her shoulder and sighed. "My dad will be coming home in a few minutes."
They got up and put the cups away. Applebloom was slightly sad that she had to leave so soon, enjoying her night with a new friend. Enjoying every bit of Diamond Tiara herself, and her looks and her personality. Everything about her was magical, and she felt it in her heart. And it felt right. So different yet the same, Applebloom found herself wanting to come tomorrow. And the next day. Then the day after that. Then the next week. So welcoming, she felt something new. Love. Blooming inside her. Blooming like a fresh flower in spring. Life would never be the same, but that was okay. As long as Diamond Tiara was happy, she was too. While giving back the towel, Applebloom head towards the door with the beauty beside her.
"I enjoyed having you tonight..." Diamond Tiara's voice was soft and full of romance, with a small smile on her face again. "Promise you'll visit again."
Applebloom nod excitedly. "Of course! We can be there for each other! Like friends!" She placed her hoof on the door knob and turning it.
"Oh! And one more thing-"
Applebloom looked behind herself to see what it was, only to be greeted by gentle, warm kiss on her lips.
She froze as her stomach felt like it would drop. The beautiful pony, right here, was locking herself around Applebloom's body. She closed her eyes, taking in the moment. Their lips brushed together in a sweet taste, both blushing as they deepen the kiss. It was simple, but it meant the world to the two.
Finally releasing, the ponies froze and looked at each other. Apple Bloom wore no expression, but slowly smiled. And so did Diamond Tiara. The two of the giggled in each others arms, hugging and more kissing. It was that moment when Applebloom realized this was her happy ending, and her dream. After what seemed like hours, Applebloom decide it was time to go.
"I promise I'll be back really soon Diamond Tiara. Just you wait!"
Diamond Tiara nod and sighed. With one last hug, the mar stepped outside of the building.
Tonight had been amazing. And nothing Applejack said would change that. It was her life, and se decide what to do with it.
Because now, this was only the beginning.
Blargh. I'm ready for the hate comments 
I understand this wasn't my best one, but this was the first time, ever, I've written a romance fanfic And this is why I'm single 
Believe or not, I don't ship ApplebloomXDiamond Tiara. But this was all I could think of for story ideas. So I'm very sorry if I was fast paced and weird...

it really was a good story it would be 20% cooler if sweetie belle was getting married too Scoots but that's just me lol
I love Scootabelle so much
6042272
Yay Thanks!
I'm deciding whether I should make a sequel or not. Also Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle would be so cute as a couple 
My nigga
Short sweet fluff, perfect for a good one shortie to end a night. Gotta say there were a couple of mistakes, and you used the word hand when it should have been hoof but other than that, it was pretty good. Paced a little too quick for me, but ultimately it moved at what it needed to, which is welcome. You're not one for flashy symantics, from what I've gathered, so the story pretty much told itself
6043316
Yeah figured it was fast paced, and i'll edit that hand thing. Thanks!
6043330
Noice.
6043266

6044648
Okay, and thanks! I'll think about it :3
Welcome to Fimfiction!
For something you sped through while writing, the story was really quite enjoyable. Even if you're not a fan of the ship, I'm happy to see you having run out of things to write about.
That said the above quote could use a bit of splitting up.
I loved Apple Bloom's confused and almost tearful response to her past tormentor. A look of "This isn't right! She brought me so much pain! Why is she being so nice?" was pretty strong. At least how I saw it.
You got a really nice cute one-shot here. Whatever your feelings on the story itself, you should be proud of it and give it due attention with the respect a story deserves if it's within your power to do so. It's FimFiction. Even people who don't like Diamond Tiara tend to like shipping these two, just so you know.
You have very basic typos and missing letters throughout. Much of them can be fixed by just taking a nice couple minutes to give your story a simple passover. Don't ever let anyone make you feel ashamed over liking or writing a certain ship. Thankfully for you, DiamondBloom is universal even among some of the not-quite-fans of Diamond Tiara.
If you ever need help finding an editor for this story, feel free to post for help on the forums at https://www.fimfiction.net/group/1280/the-diamond-cutters
For all other stories not related to, around, or with Diamond Tiara as a character, I'd recommend https://www.fimfiction.net/group/27/the-proofreader-group
P.S. Your story really was worth my time reading, as it was for those who bothered to go the extra mile by clicking those likes. 3-6 downvotes on a DT story per 15-25 likes is rather common around here even with perfect grammar. But never slack on trying to improve where you can, writing even fiction can help you in the real world, believe it or not.
Sorry for not noticing this little gem of a DT story earlier, I've been rather preoccupied to say the least. Again, Welcome to fimfiction!
Not sure what there's to hate on. Apple Bloom slash Diamond Tiara is hardly the strangest (or even that uncommon) paring out there.

Just saying.
Story itself? Cute, but felt a bit rushed. That, and the romance itself had a few undercurrents of 'OMG, I don't want to die alo~one! Who's hot enough left for me to actually fall for?!'
So yeah, a bit more chemistry between the two would have been a good idea.
I do agree with many points 6054423 raised, though. How Apple Bloom kept waiting for the sucker-punch for quite a large stretch of the story (but was pleasantly surprised when it never came) was a really nice touch, and I do hope this gets a future continuation.
I honestly loved this fanfic. Although it had an absurd amount of typos. But those can be edited :)
This is a love story that needs more than one snip to tell. This should have ended with them starting a friendship. You can have the attraction there right from the start, as that will help smooth over the history they share, but they need to grow closer together before they can start making out.
All around great fic, the only thing that bothered me was the persistent switching between pony and anthro. It said things like mane and flank and then phrases like "hand on her hip". Also a couple words were missing the first letter but I really liked this, even though I don't really ship it. Adorable!
Aaw! So cute!
It was really good!!!
Keep up the good job!!!
I honestly thought it was pretty good. The only disappointing thing is the lack of a second chapter.
