I'm going to miss you in Entry Thirty-One
Dear Diary,
I always knew that I'd be punished a lot for what I did (I deserve it too, I'm nothing but a monster) but I never imagined that Uncle Alicorn would do this to me. Okay, yes, he does say I won't be gone forever-- but any amount of time away from the ponies I love is forever to me. He doesn't want to send me away, I know he doesn't, but other ponies are making him do it to me. Uncle Alicorn is the only pony who understands but he's too weak to come up with his own decisions. Every other pony comes before me-- and so I have to go.
Go far, far away to a 'special school' as he calls it. Mommy will still be able to come and see me once every two weeks if I'm good, but that's it; that's all the pony company I get to see in two years of my life; maybe even longer. And Diary, I'm not allowed to take any of my stuff with me-- including this Diary. I can't write anything in here for ever and ever and ever and ever. That's FOUR evers. That's a long time Diary. A long time to not do something I really love to do. I know you're just a few pieces of paper that only I can read but I don't know-- I sort of feel like there's other ponies out there too; listening to everything I say and understanding how I feel. Writing in here makes me feel like somepony out there cares about me. They can't get rid of that can they? They can't get rid of everything I love.
I-- I don't want to leave you Diary. I don't want to leave Lady Blankety either-- he'd have wanted me to look after her. She needs to be here to share in our world; without her it won't feel real.
Tia and Loony have been told they can't come down to my house to see me off. Their Mom thinks it'll be too dangerous. I don't care; she's a horrible unloyal mare anyway. Always had been, even to Uncle Alicorn.
Mommy told Galloway he had to see me, so he ran straight past my room, glimpsed at me and locked himself in his own room. Yes, maybe he had 'seen' me but he hadn't wanted to really look. My own brother hates me and has chosen to stay over at Nocturn's the night before I leave. It's unfair. Nocturn gets to stay here whilst I'm really far away from my family and friends. Although I suppose he didn't destroy anypony he cared about-- but only because he doesn't care about anypony anyway. Ha!
Aunt Marelin came round to see me. She's the only one who has. I like her so much it makes me want to cry just thinking about leaving her behind. I'll always care for Aunt Marelin more than any other pony. You know, she even tried to talk Uncle Alicorn out of sending me away. If he wasn't so weak against other ponies he would have listened to her too. She brought me some chocolate milk and popcorn straight from the palace-- knowing that where they're sending me they won't let me have my favourite treats. I SO badly wanted to tell her about Nightmare Moon. I almost did. But then I looked at her smiling happy face and noticed that her eyes weren't as shiny as usual-- her coat was quite dull compared to how it was usually too. Something was wrong; I didn't want to add to it.
That's the weird thing about ponies coats. They go really dull when you're upset. Aunt Marelin taught me all about the energy inside ponies coats that do this strange colour-change. She said it could be used against a pony; no doubt that the monster knows that too. I bet Aunt Marelin would be really happy in the Chaos World. She loved things like that.
After a while she had to leave and I was left alone with you Diary. I'm still here now, all alone. Mommy and Uncle La Loo sent my Dinner up and stayed downstairs. I can hear them arguing in their bedroom. Mommy sounds like she's crying-- or that could be Uncle La Loo. I've seen him cry more than Mommy. Foal.
It feels just like when I came here and ended up at the Soldier School. Does that mean there's good things to come? They're here to collect my stuff to put in another place. Which means-- Diary-- you've got to go. I promise to come back. I promise, promise, promise, promise. That's FOUR promises.
I'll miss you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We'll miss you too Diddy. We always do. Thanks for the letter. I've put it in here to keep ALL of you close to us.
To Tia and Loony,
I'm at NEMI... and I'm bored. They hardly let you do anything here, and they give me yucky medicine to eat everyday. Silas says you get used to it but I don't think I want to. I'd much prefer to stop taking it altogether. The great news is Silas (he's my friend here; Loony'd really like him. He can be really funny sometimes), well, he says that if we're good for so long then we can have any visitor we want here.
Okay, here's the question then. You see, Silas always gets his best friend to come see him, and I thought, since you're my best friend Tia, that maybe, if you'd like to, you could come over and see me? It'd be really fun and we can play some of the games we always used to play. Would you like that? Or we could play new games. I can come up with some great ones.
I know you have Nocturn for a best friend now, but I thought maybe you could leave him for a bit and you could see how much better I'm getting.
Tia, I didn't mean to hurt Blankety. I've never forgiven myself for that-- but Silas is helping me learn to see better. I'm not the only one who's made terrible mistakes in this place, and everypony regrets it. Silas certainly does.
The visiting day is in two weeks time. Can't wait to see you there. I've told everypony all about you and they can't wait to see you too. They wouldn't believe how wonderful you really are, but they can see it when you come.
See you soon Tia (and keep being cute Loony).
And Tia... you really are my best friend. I love you for that.
Love from,
Your Diddy Lion
I'm so sorry Diddy. I just couldn't. It was too early.
It was all my fault.

Well gosh darn it, now I know something ELSE will go horribly bad before the final stoning. What's with you and your horrible foreshadowing!?
So is the story going to progress through letters until Discord gets released(mental institute?)?
or is Celestia writing in his Diary now?
gods this has made me sad, great story, keep writing
3017987 3017983>>3017999 Thanks for that everyone.
To answer your question, which I feel I must in order to be polite, Celestia DOES NOT carry on writing in his diary. She knows how precious it is to him. Diddy will be back next week, after two years, and hopefully you shall see the differences.
However the sequel to this, The Journals of Silas Sombra, will focus on Diddy and Silas' time at NEMI. Hopefully you'll all enjoy that. Yes, Diddy will speak in it as well as Silas. Everything will make sense when that comes soon, promise.
Just to make sure... the bold text is Celestia commenting right. Or is that just not the case?
3018018 Ah, so Silas is Sombra, wonder who his friend is. I hope Tia gives into temptation and reads at least a LITTLE bit of it, because god damn it, things would be so different if more people knew of his past. And I hope said changes will be changes for the better (like he wasn't brooding thinking all his friends abandoned him), don't know why, but even though I know how this ends I keep hoping for a happy ending.
3018034 Yes, that is Tia in the bold writing. I hoped it was clear... but maybe not clear enough. When I read it through first time there was the initial shock on the first line were my brain went 'THE DIARY'S WRITING BACK TO HIM'.
3018038 Well, you'll have to wait and see I guess. Sorry I can't tell you more, there's still a few surprises coming.
Still I hope everyone enjoys the sequel just as much
.
3018018
does this mean the next chapter will be the last in this story, before the sequel?
3018081 Erm.. *gets out calculator*... carry the four... take away the three...
No. The calculator says there's a few more chapters left to finish here that Dream hasn't got round to writing just yet. Silas will start, hopefully, the week after Diddy finishes in a month or so.
3018098
ok, i cant wait :)
3018074 Probably will, I generally love Sombra, when you think about it he is probably the most competent villain there, think about it.
Nightmare moon just set up traps to hinder, hopefully kill, the mane 6, and mostly just stood there while they messed with the elements. Discord is crazy, and is to wrapped up in having fun to get the job done. Chrysalis, just what was her plan? If was to marry Shiny why was her army there? If was to take over why bother warning them to raise the shield, and how did she get through the shield? And why openly attack at all, changelings are masters of subterfuge, they should have systematically replace 25-50% of the population (maximum love harvesting) and fill all of the heads of state.
But Sombra, unlike Chrysalis, he had a plan, a backup plan, and a backup plan for the backup plan. First, he's powerful, the princesses had to work together to temporarily defeat him, but unlike Discord and just messing around, he worked constantly to make sure the Crystal Heart couldn't be used against him, oppressing the people, made them forget what happiness was, and hiding the crystal heart. And not only did he hide it, he made almost impossible to get to, see all his subjects where crystal ponies, no magic and no flying, and to get get to the Crystal Heart (even if they knew where it was) they had to know black magic (something I think was not the legal to know), climb down a huge flight of stairs (time buying), not fall for the nightmare door (again more time buying), and climb up another huge flight of stairs (can't have to much time). And once someone reached it it was booby trapped to in-cage the person, block them from teleporting out, and enforce his power on town. And finally once he broke through the barrier being powered by a goddess and noticed that they almost had the crystal heart, he dropped what he was doing (re-subjugating the crystal ponies, not a second wasted) and booked it trying to stop them, unlike Nightmare Moon. So I restate, Sombra is by far the most competent villain yet, he just had the misfortune of being outnumbered, and fighting against the metaphorical clock.
Sorry about the super long post, I just like talking and going into detail.
The entries should end at 42. Just saying.
3018197 Very well put... and definitely food for thought. The plan I have for Sombra is quite interesting (at least I hope it is) and like I said, hope you enjoy it as much as Diddy. It'll be a bit different than this, but the same characters with a similar plotline ('similar' not 'same').
3018219 Any specific reason?
3018251 It's such an amusingly random number. Discord loves amusing randomness. It's also my headcanon for his lucky number.
3018275 That and it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
3018291 and if you need to know more about 42, check out it's wikipedia entry (can you believe the have entries for every number up to 270).
3018275>>3018219 Let me check a second. There's 34 chapters.
3018322 You just said told us how many chapters are left, that won't do, now you need to change how many chapters there are, either condense the chapters to get a smaller number, shorten them to get a bigger number, or write more (I pick this one for you).
3018359 Hmm... Can I write more?
I SHALL TRY FOR YOU.
Or write less.
I SHALL TRY TO DO THAT TOO.
We'll see
.
3018365 I suppose you could leave it as is, then it would have its own song
Edit: Now that I look at the lyrics, I have it a feeling it will fit all the better
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dave+matthews+band/34_20036609.html
3018382 Sweet song. But I promise, I won't just leave it here.
Or will I?
Let's just see what Discord decides in the end.
That was one of the very best stories I've read. Literally read ALL chapters since I got home from work 2 hours ago(after telling my husband and the kids to hush so I could read, of course)
Emotional and funny all at the same time. LOVE!!!!
3018504 Thanks a lot...
And wow, that's impressive.
Glad you like it so much... Plus, me? Funny?
Are we suppose to know who the one that talks after Diddy's diary and letter is ?
3020991 It's supposed to be implied that it's Celestia
. Sorry if you didn't catch it-- I'll see if I can think of something to make it more obvious.
3021006 Oh, most definitely. But no apples-- apples are disgusting
.
Why you so feeeeels?
I hate you for your talent as an amazing writer
3040984
Could be!
I've read so many stories that i'm used to the heavy hitting feels at the end... Here though its every other paragraph it seems. Great writing, and story. Your feels cannon is one of the most powerful i've encountered... :
What did you do to make this so terrible?(in a sad kinda way not quality) Did you wright it in pure liquid tragedy or something!?
Oh so not only did Blankety die, but Nocturn lived?!?!
crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccckkk.... that was my heart breaking
3020991 tia.. duh
btw i cried
