Diamond Tiara has had it up to here with her mother, and her father's apparent refusal to do anything about her behavior! Unwilling and unable to put up with such nastiness any longer, Diamond does the unthinkable and runs away from home, leaving her trusty tiara behind in the process!
The filly moves into Carousel Boutique with Rarity, despite the surprise and protests of not only Rarity herself, but also Sweetie Belle. However, it seems nothing can change Diamond's mind. Reluctantly, Rarity agrees to let the troubled filly stay, for a while.
But when Diamond is kidnapped by the diamond dogs while on a gem hunt with Sweetie Belle, she will be surprised by the pony who comes to her rescue.

not bad: not bad at all...
7441732 Why thank you.

your welcome
Well, I would have kept some of the more 'questionable' jokes, and substituted words, but good job all round, I think.
Not much I can say other than, great job on this story. Excellent work on the exchanges, emotional content, action and wrap-up in all the right places. I'll definitely be looking forward to more of your work as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
7441812 Thank you for helping me with it.
7441835 Nah, I'd say all the credit goes to you. Well, maybe 70-80%...

This was a very interesting story, actually as Rarity herself might say it was absolutely faboo! You pulled a impressive feat here, I don't like Spoiled in Canon, but here you actually have made likeable. For pulling that off alone and providing a great story in general, you get a fave.
7441971 It's funny how much I still dislike canon Spoiled, yet in the span of a month I've written two fanfics that redeem her.
7441901 Nah, here's a better 'THEME'
7441995 Hey, who knows? She may have some good in her, though I severely doubt it. She's only had a major role in one episode after all. Maybe there's some hidden backstory with her yet to be revealed...
7442002 Maybe, but I doubt it. Although I do subscribe to the head canon that her own upbringing was just as harsh, the only difference is that she didn't have enough self confidence and chose to submit for the sake of pleasing her parents. I also like to think she'd be a sort of "Even evil has standards" type of villain, as opposed to ponies like Svengallop and Zesty Gorumand who don't seem to care what they have to do to benefit themselves.
7442123 Possibly, no, probably actually. On another subject but still relating to the story, why did you make it one long-shot instead of dividing it into multiple chapters? Sorry, but wouldn't it be easier for people to swallow so to speak? Not meant to be insulting, just curious.
7442139 It probably would've flowed better that way, but I originally planned for it to be a one-shot and it was much easier to send a completed long-shot to my proofreader than to break it up and send the story chapter by chapter.
7442145 Ah, I see. Makes sense, I suppose.
7442002
To be honest, when a person is THAT much of an asshole I don't care if they have the saddest backstory in the world. She almost ruined her daughter permanently, and used said daughter to inflict what would be traumatic-levels of emotional damage on the other foals of Ponyville. She can burn.
7442878 Gotta agree with you there. I was just speculating.
7441971 I see you almost everywhere on this site, and it's amazing.
Took me a second.... XD
7449213 Hey, nothing wrong with being sociable right?
7449364 Damn right.
It's a good story *see the dislike* WHO ?!!
Why has nobody done a Christmas Carol parody with Spoiled Rich yet? She's perfect for it.
7727623 But who to play the three ghosts? Filthy Rich is probably a good Bob Cratchet, and Diamond Tiara could work a little for Tiny Tim (Spoiled's already verbally abusing Diamond, whose to say physical abuse isn't going on behind the scenes?).
7727662 I would want the characters to be themselves, not the characters from the novel. Something in the show's universe, like For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils. I imagine Celestia, Luna, and Discord as the "spirits". Maybe the spectre of Spoiled's mom filling a similar role to Marley.
7727733 Maybe.
Diamond Dogs still get no dimension.
Eh, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll kill each other.
8209558 Spoiled and the Diamond Dogs?
8210091 Yep. Then that's two problems solved.
It's about time someone made a story where Spoiled Rich isn't abusing her daughter and starts acting like a real mother!
Spoiled rich is rube and snobbish but even she have standard even evils have standard like king sombra nightmare moon Tirek chrysalis cozy grogar flilm flam brother as opposed to Ponie like Svengallop and Zesty Gorumand who don't seem to care what they have to do to benefit themselves.
I've always liked this guy ever since the first time they introduced him I knew he was a decent guy but good Lord his wife at something else what does he sees in her when they first met
I guess Scootaloo's parents are in town after exploring around Equestria but I'm sure they're probably go out sooner or later and yes I know this was during before season 9 came around when they'd introduce themselves after all these years
Seriously that's what I said
Oh boy that's basically another attempted faith
Well this was a pretty nice story and I will have to admit I really wanted to see how Diamond Tiara has been doing ever since season 5 and of course things are not going very well because Filthy Rich and spoiled Rich are having an argument with each other and she couldn't take it no more and she ran away and basically ended up at Rarity's home and she wanted to stay there just to get away from her mother it is really nice to see Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara actually playing together as friends but Rarity needed some gems because of a lot of clients are asking for as so Diamond Tiara wanted to get gems for Rarity despite Sweetie Belle's not to do it but she ignored it and unfortunately this will be her downfall because the Diamond Dogs kidnapped diamond tiara so Sweetie Belle told Twilight and the others about what happened and it looks like Randolph also got the news as well and told spoiled Rich about what's going on at first yes she almost care less but her guilty contest told her that deep down she does care for her daughter and have an argument between her and her conscious she decided to rescue her and man she was pretty tough when she go against with the Diamond Dogs that's pretty freaking awesome I will admit Diamond Tiara was pretty surprised seen her she was confused why did her mother saved her and no matter how it is spoiled rich is something else but there is one thing she does care for her daughter and how much she loves her so much and she'll do anything to help her that was actually pretty nice this was pretty cool story keep up the good work
