Chapter 9: A Broken Diamond Pt. 1 (Apple Bloom)
It was another morning of moody and hostility at CHS. Many students were heading to their own classes from within the hallways with scowls on their faces without a friendly hello each time they passed each other. The only thing they ever spoke to each other was usually rude remarks whenever they bumped into one another. Needless to say, it was a very miserable experience for everyone, including Apple Bloom with dark baggy eyes.
Even after she took over as Anon-a-Miss and resumed posting secrets online, Apple Bloom couldn't stop thinking about her big fight with her now ex-friends from a few days back. Her mind kept replaying the terrible things she had said to them and the moment she pushed Sweetie down at the school's playground over and over like a ViewTube video on a an endless loop without a "Stop" button. She felt awful for what she did to Sweetie and disgusted with herself for threatening Scootaloo, but she had to do what was necessary in order to take down the evil she-demon.
Speaking of Sweetie and Scootaloo, Apple Bloom didn't see her former friends since that day. She suspected that they were avoiding her like the plague, but if they failed to see her reasons, then it's their loss. She also heard a few incidents that her former CMC members were acting very "clumsy" as of late. Two days ago, Scootaloo accidentally bumped into Lightning Dust as she was carrying so many books across the hallway. Then on the day before, Sweetie was carrying her lunch tray and then accidentally crashed into Gilda and spilled food all over the tough girl. Thankfully, neither of them didn't get any major repercussions from the two tough teens except some insults and nasty glares. Apple Bloom suspected that her former friends were doing this on purpose because she knew them well enough that they were never that clumsy. What confirmed her suspicions further was that Shimmer happened to be around when these incidents took place. She concluded that her former friends were doing all of this on purpose, just to protect Shimmer from any vengeful students who wanted to come after her.
Apple Bloom was not sure if she should be admired or annoyed at her former friends' dedication.
Despite her former friends' efforts, and Anon-a-Miss' recent announcement of taking everyone's requests again, it doesn't change the students efforts of making Shimmer's life miserable. Apple Bloom have seen many students gave Shimmer dirty looks whenever she appeared in the hallway or sometimes in classes. The only physical thing they've done to Shimmer was that they would either threw spitballs at the back of her head whenever the teacher was not looking or sometimes they would "accidentally" bumped into her as they walked passed her. As she continued to watch students abusing Shimmer for days from afar, Apple Bloom kept having that same "feeling" again like from the day Shimmer's friends ditched her. She kept ignoring that feeling and tried to convince herself that Shimmer is a heartless bully and doesn't deserve any sympathy, but with each passing day, that feeling was stronger than the last one. And with the memory of her argument with her friends on top of that, those feelings are getting worse.
Her thoughts were put to a halt when she spotted her sister Applejack by her locker. She was looking at a piece of paper which was left on her locker with a deep frown on her face. Apple Bloom had sneaking suspicion that it was probably yet another one of these "notes," contained certain words like "Piggly Wiggly", "Oink" or even a picture of a pig just to tease Applejack from the bullies. Wanting to check up on her sister and keep herself distracted from those events, Apple Bloom decided to approach her sister.
"Um... hey sis!" Apple Bloom greeted gently.
Applejack turned towards Apple Bloom with a glare but then soften up somewhat once she saw her. "Oh... hey Apple Bloom," she replied dejectedly as she opened her locker.
Apple Bloom frowned at her sister's depression demeanor. "People still botherin' ya?"
Applejack sighed heavily. "Yeah... but Ah'm getting less teasing lately... after Anon-a-Miss started targeting everyone else in school!"
Apple Bloom tilted her head quizzically. "Um... isn't dat a good thing that people didn't tease you as much?"
"Not at the cost of everyone else, including mah best friends!" Applejack replied with a scowl. "I swear, she is such a snake! We took her in a show her the ways of friendship, only to stab us in the back as thanks! Ah thought we understand each other and let bygones be bygones... but Ah guess Ah don't really understand her at all!"
Apple Bloom grinned, pleased that her plan worked perfectly. "Ya see Applejack, Ah told ya that Shimmer shouldn't be trust–!"
"And yet," Applejack added with somber expression. "This doesn't add up."
Apple Bloom widened her eyes in disbelief. "WAT?! What do ya mean!?"
Applejack crossed her arms in thought, as if she was trying to figure it out herself. "Everything this Anon-a-Miss had done; the pictures of our slumber party, mah nickname, and all the other stuff that was posted on MyStable seemed like what the old Sunset would do. But at the same time... it didn't make any sense! Sunset could have turned on us shortly after we let her befriended us and get back at us for revenge... but she never did. We became as close as best friends, heck, she became a family to me! But why would she start now of all times, especially after she worked so hard to prove that she's changed. ...It doesn't make sense!"
Apple Bloom felt raw anger as her sister referred to Shimmer as her "family", but she kept her anger in check. "Does it matter?" Apple Bloom growled. "She had her chance and blew it! It just goes fer sure that she wasn't really yer friend and wants to hurt you!"
"But what if she wasn't?" Applejack countered. When Apple Bloom didn't answer, Applejack continued. "When the girls and Ah left her at the hallway that day... Ah thought the worst feeling was over. But instead... Ah felt worse! It hurt me so much to hear her cries as we left her, but Ah kept telling mahself that she was probably trying to trick me again and that it was fer the best. But as days passed and Ah watched her from the sidelines lookin' all miserable and whatnot, Ah couldn't help but to feel... guilty... for abandonin' her, even if she was the culprit." She sighed. "And then... Ah had the most disturbing thought... what if it wasn't her? Were her tears real? Was Ah so quick to blame her because Ah haven't really forgiven her? Or was Ah too stubborn to listen. The more Ah thought about it... the more Ah felt... confused... and scared. Scared... that Ah possibly broke off my friendship to Sunset fer something she didn't do! I don't want to believe it, but if it turned out to be the case... Ah would never fergive mahself!" She groaned miserably as she leaned her head on her hand. "Ah'm just so confused!"
Apple Bloom frowned. While she knew her sister will be upset with everything that happened for almost two weeks, but she never thought this would affect Applejack that much. Despite mostly believing Shimmer to be Anon-a-Miss, not only her sister blamed herself for ditching Shimmer, she also blamed herself for being a terrible friend. This also worried Apple Bloom that her sister was slowly realizing that Shimmer may not be the real culprit after all. While her sister can be super stubborn at times, but she is very smart, especially when it comes to reading people.
"Um... Applejack?" Apple Bloom uttered nervously with some hesitation. "Um... let's say that Shimmer... theoretically isn't Anon-a-Miss... then who do ya think is the true culprit?"
Applejack thought for a minute before she sighed dejectedly. "Ah don't know Apple Bloom. Ah can't think of anybody else who could've been the one... other than Sunset." Her eyes then narrowed. "But if Ah find out that it really was someone else, than Ah will personally track that varmint down and then Ah'll will make him or her regret that they ever messed with me and mah friends!"
In her anger, Applejack punched another locker next to hers, leaving a huge dent on it. Apple Bloom gulped in fear from the sight. While she knew that Applejack was a pretty tough person, but what she just saw was Applejack barely using her full strength. She didn't want to imagine what her sister's full strength be like when she found out who the real Anon-a-Miss is.
Applejack snapped out of her angered state once she realized what she just did. After calming down, she turned to Apple Bloom with an apologetic expression.
"S-sorry you have to see that Apple Bloom. The thought of Anon-a-Miss alone and the possibly of Sunset being framed really ticked me off!"
"It's... it's no problem Applejack!" Apple Bloom stammered with a gulp. "B-but as it stands now, all the evidence pointed towards Shimmer! There really isn't any proof that it was someone else!"
"...I suppose yer right Apple Bloom," said Applejack with a resigned sigh before shaking her head. "But that doesn't mean that Ah'm happy about it. Even if Ah'm right about Sunset..." Applejack bowed her head to the point that her eyes were hidden from the edges of her stanton hat. "Ah couldn't help but feel... that Ah let her down."
Apple Bloom frowned, feeling bad for her sister. She then quickly put a smile on and then attempted to make Applejack feel better.
"Tell ya what Applejack, how about we bake some Christmas cookies, watched a few Holiday movies and drink hot cocoa together after school like we always do? I bet that would cheer ya–"
Applejack slammed her locker door shut, cutting Apple Bloom off. Without looking back up, Applejack flipped her backpack over her shoulder and let out a sigh.
"Sorry Apple Bloom... Ah'm not in a holiday mood right now. Ah... Ah need to be alone right now," she whispered before moving on to her next class.
Apple Bloom stood sadly as she watched her sister walking away with her head low. She really thought that her sister will bounced back after all the teasing she received from other students and breaking ties from Shimmer. But the fact that her sister didn't bounce back and actually felt worse from all that experience, Apple Bloom couldn't help but to feel guilty. A part of her wanted to stop her plan so she wouldn't continue suffering her sister any longer than she should, but she can't. There was still some doubt left from her sister even after she no longer friends with Shimmer. She needed to keep going until all her sister's doubts disappeared for good.
But why was her heart hurting so much just a thought of it?
Suddenly, she heard a jingle from her pocket, which was coming from her cell phone. Apple Bloom raised her eyebrow. She thought her friends broke off with her, why would they contact her now? Did they come to their senses and decided to text her for an apology? Curious, she took her phone out and unlocked her phone. She was surprised that it wasn't a text from either of her ex-friends at all. It was actually a text from Diamond Tiara! Wondering why she texted her, Apple Bloom opened up her message app and read the text.
DiamondGirl: hey AB! R you and the others free to meet up at the mall today after school?
Apple Bloom let out a small groan. She had completely forgotten that she promised Diamond Tiara last week during lunch that she and the others will go Christmas shopping with her on this date. On one hand, now wasn't a good time after the drama she had with her former friends yesterday. Not to mention, if she just showed up alone without Sweetie or Scootaloo, it could draw suspicion. On top of that, she had been super stressful now that she was flying solo as Anon-a-Miss. She should just tell Diamond that she has other "plans" and that they'll planned to hang out at another date.
On the other hand, she had already promised Diamond multiple times that they'll hang out ever since Diamond turned a new leaf and Diamond was really looking forward to it. Apple Bloom couldn't bring herself to cancel their plans again and let Diamond down once more. Apple Bloom already lost her two best friends, she didn't want to lose another one. And other than posting some messages on MyStable as Anon-a-Miss... alone, she really didn't have any plans today. She could always come up with an excuse as to why the others not showing up and get herself distracted from all her troubles for a while.
With a sigh, Apple Bloom typed her phone with her fingers and replied the message back to Diamond.
AppleSeed109: the others cant come, but Ah'm available to hang out today
A few seconds later, Diamond responded back with a bunch of new messages.
DiamondGirl: awesome! :D
DiamondGirl: meet me by the fountain near the mall's main entrance
DiamondGirl: see ya later!
Apple Bloom sighed as she put away her phone and then headed to her next class. Hopefully, her little outing with Diamond Tiara will help her get her mind out of all this drama for the time being.
After many hours have passed and school was done for the day, Apple Bloom headed to Canterlot's Mall to meet with Diamond Tiara. As soon as she entered the main entrance, she spotted many people going around from one store to another just to get their Christmas shopping done for the day while a current Holiday themed music was playing in the background. But even after seeing many strangers with cheerful smiles and listening to an upbeat music, Apple Bloom couldn't bring herself to a Holiday mood with all the drama back at CHS continued to weigh on her mind.
Apple Bloom surveyed around the mall with her eyes to locate Diamond Tiara. After a few minutes, she finally found Diamond Tiara, who was standing near the mall's fountain waiting for her. Apple Bloom carefully maneuvered through the crowd and she made her way over to Diamond. As she got closer, Diamond spotted her and waved her over with a huge smile.
"Hey Diamond!" Apple Bloom greeted after she finally reached her friend. "Ah hope Ah didn't make you wait too long!"
"Not at all Apple Bloom!" Diamond replied cheerfully. "I didn't wait that long! I'm just glad that you made it!" Diamond then frowned. "It's too bad that the others couldn't make it."
Apple Bloom frowned from the mention of her two former friends. "...yeah... real shame." She then quickly changed the topic as she looked around. "Where's Silver Spoon?"
Diamond's cheerful attitude was suddenly replaced with a very sour expression. "She's not coming either!"
Apple Bloom blinked. "Why?"
"...I rather not want to talk about it!" Diamond responded quickly before she turned and walked down the mall in a hurry. "Let's just go shopping!"
"H-hey! Wait up Diamond!" Apple Bloom exclaimed before chasing after her.
For the next couple of hours, both Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara spend time shopping from one store to another throughout the mall. They've tried on different outfits, browse through different set of accessories and they even looked around the toy store for the fun of it. Apple Bloom was actually having a good time with Diamond Tiara. She enjoyed seeing the friendly and fun side of Diamond instead of a mean demeanor for once when she was a bully. Apple Bloom almost completely forgotten about the whole Anon-a-Miss drama from school.
Almost.
Eventually, both Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara went to the food court to take a break. Diamond bought the milkshakes for the both of them (Vanilla for Apple Bloom and Chocolate for Diamond) and then they went to one of the booth seats. The two of them took long sips of their shakes and then they let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"So Apple Bloom, enjoying yourself so far?" asked Diamond.
Apple Bloom took a quick sip of her drink with a thoughtful expression. "Well... shopping is a lot of work, but it was also so fun!"
"Especially when you shop with a friend!" Diamond added with a wink. "I'm glad you're having a good time! You looked like you need it!"
Apple Bloom blinked. "Ah do?"
Diamond nodded. "Yeah! I mean granted, you need all the help you could get with Christmas shopping since this is beyond your skills with farming... no offense."
"None taken."
"Plus you looked tired... and stressed for almost the past couple of weeks." Diamond then gave Apple Bloom a concerning frown. "Is everything okay with you?"
Apple Bloom looked down at the table and frowned. She didn't want to think about it, nor wanting to talk about it for many reasons. But after a quick glance at Diamond's concerned expression, she realized she couldn't get herself out of it. And unlike her bullying days, Diamond looked like she was actually worried for her friend and wanted to help. Since Apple Bloom had no one to talk to, maybe talking to someone outside of the CMC and her family would probably help her current issue... without revealing too much of course.
"Ah've... been having a rough time lately," Apple Bloom finally answered vaguely.
Diamond furrowed her brows with a frown. "Was this have anything to do with your sister and Anon-a-Miss?"
"Y-yeah... you could say that," Apple Bloom answered before looking up towards her friend. "This hasn't been so easy on my sister because of her... 'nickname' and then broke off with her... 'friend' because of it."
"It seems that this hasn't been easy on you either," Diamond pointed out gently. "I take that the others were upset that their sisters were victims too?"
They were more than upset, especially that they're involved in this! Apple Bloom thought before nodding. "Yeah..."
"Anon-a-Miss didn't get to you three too, did she?" Diamond pressed. "I can imagined all kinds of embarrassing things she'll post about you... not that I want to see you three humiliated again!"
With me currently in charge, fat chance! Apple Bloom inwardly deadpanned before speaking again. "She didn't... but in a way... she affected us too!"
"What happened?" Diamond asked with a concerned expression.
Apple Bloom let out a depressing sigh as she set her eyes towards her drink as if it was the most interesting thing to look at. "Let's just say... we have 'different opinions' about the Anon-a-Miss situation and... we ended up arguing a lot... and then we ended up saying and doing things to each other that we all end up regretting... that Ah end up regretting. And now... they hated me! And worst of all... Ah think Ah may have lost my friendship with them because of it."
"...just like me and Silver," Diamond muttered.
Apple Bloom quickly looked up to her friend. "Huh?"
Diamond closed her eyes and sighed through her nose. "We... had a really bad argument too... all because she did something so horrible to me that she betrayed my trust!"
Apple Bloom felt her heart drop, knowing that she (aka Anon-a-Miss) had something to do with it. "Did she... revealed your secrets to everyone?"
Diamond shook her head. "No... she did something much worse! She stole something from me... and showed them off like it was hers! When I confronted her about it, you know what she said to me?"
When Apple Bloom shook her head, Diamond answered while imitating Silver in a mocking voice.
"I'm just doing you a favor Tiara! This necklace looks better on me anyway!" Diamond scoffed angrily. "Like can you believe that! How selfish can she be!? I just don't know if I can forgive her for that! And would never have known that... if it wasn't for Anon-a-Miss!"
Suddenly, Apple Bloom had lost her appetite for her milkshake after listening to Diamond's angry rant. "Oh... I see," Apple Bloom commented weakly.
Diamond growled as she slammed her fist on their table and looked down with a hard expression. "What's worse is that I don't know if I should hate Silver for backstabbing me in the back or...
Apple Bloom swallowed. "Or?"
Diamond's expression soften somewhat and sighed. "Or... if I should hate Anon-a-Miss... for single-handedly destroying my friendship... with my best friend."
Apple Bloom suddenly felt a huge twisted knot from her stomach. But it wasn't from her milkshake or some bad food she ate, it was from something else. She suddenly stood up, startling Diamond in the process.
"Ah... Ah need to use the restroom! Excuse me!"
Before Diamond could say anything, Apple Bloom rushed towards the nearest restroom and locked the door behind her. For the next several minutes, Apple Bloom spent her time splashing water on her face to calm herself down. While the cool water made her feel better somewhat, that twisted feeling in her stomach was still there.
She slowly looked up and stared herself from the mirror. Her hair was somewhat out of place despite her bow keeping it in place and her eyes were getting darker and baggier. She let out a tired sigh before she leaned towards the sink to splash water on her face again. When she was finished, she slowly stood up again in front of the mirror, only to recoiled in shook.
She didn't see her own reflection anymore. Instead, she saw a dark creature with flaming hair and wings, obscure from the shadows. The only thing that was visible was it's glowing eyes and an evil grin with fangs sticking out, which sends chills down to Apple Bloom's spine. What's even worse was that it was the very same creature who's been hunting in her dreams for days!
"Boo!" she said tauntingly.
She let out a loud scream and fell backwards on to the floor, landing on her butt. She looked up towards the mirror again with frighten eyes, only to frown in confusion when she saw nothing. Cautiously, she slowly stood up to peak towards the mirror, only to see it was her reflection again instead of that dark creature.
Wha– What the hay was that!? she exclaimed in thought. Am Ah seein' things? Why is Shimmer decided to torture me now of all times? Was many nights in mah dreams not enough to make me suffer!? She took a moment to breathe in and out through her nose until she calmed herself down. Maybe... I didn't get enough sleep. All that stress and sleep deprived is starting to made me hallucinate!
She sighed as she made her way out the restroom's door. [Ah better go back to Diamond. She's probably wonderin' why Ah took so long.
As soon as she stepped out of the restroom, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the food court with some familiar voices shouting at each other.
"Give me back my necklace!"
"No!"
"I said give it back!"
"Make me!"
"Then I will!"
"Don't you dare!"
Apple Bloom's eyes widened. "Oh no!"
She quickly ran out towards the food court and towards where she was seating with Diamond. As she got closer, she noticed a big group of people, who were observing the commotion was blocking her way. Apple Bloom quickly shoved a few aside, ignoring their glares and rude remarks and made her way towards the center. When she finally got there, she spotted both Diamond and Silver Spoon yelling at each other while they were doing a tug-of-war on a sliver and sapphire necklace, which was currently on Silver's neck.
"Diamond! Silver! What's going on and why are you two fighting!?" Apple Bloom cried.
Still clutching on the necklace, Diamond turned to Apple Bloom while giving Silver her angry side glare. "I'll tell you what's going on! I had a new and fancy necklace that I got for my Birthday a month ago and it was my most favorite necklace! But then about a few weeks ago, it was missing and I asked my "best friend" over there if she had seen it but she said 'no'! I believed her... until Anon-a-Miss posted a picture of my "best friend", showing off my necklace to people behind my back!"
Apple Bloom inwardly cursed at Scootaloo for posting that image. She told her countless times not to post that due to their friendship with Diamond and Silver Spoon, but that Dodo head still posted it anyway. She'll have a few words to say to her ex-friend the next time she sees her... if she sees her that is.
Apple Bloom turned towards Silver with a disapproved expression. "Is this true Silver?"
Silver scoffed while refusing to let go of the necklace. "Yeah, I took that necklace! But I did her a favor since that necklace looks better on me anyway!"
"You did me a favor, my foot!" Diamond growled, tightening the necklace further. "You were jealous because I got this at the store before you and then you got jealous because of it!"
"Jealous!? You knew I wanted it and you stole it from me!" Silver shouted.
"My mother bought this for me fair and square!" Diamond spat.
"Since when did you do anything fair?" Silver asked with her voice filled with venom. "You always get your way and get everything you wanted by waving your daddy's money at everyone's faces!"
Diamond growled in rage. "You know what? I'm done talking to you! Give. Me. MY. NECKLACE!"
The two of them began to pull on the necklace from each other again. However as the continued to tug it, a crack was formed from the middle of the necklace. Apple noticed this and gasped.
"Girls stop! The necklace is gonna–"
But it was too late as the necklace finally broke into two, causing the two rich girls to fall back and dropped their halves of the necklace. Each half of the necklace was thrown into the air and then crashed to the floor, scattering many pieces of silver and blue jewelry in the process. By the time Diamond and Silver Spoon recovered, Diamond gasped at the site of her once beautiful necklace, now destroyed.
"MY NECKLACE!" Diamond screamed, upset to see her once necklace scattered across floor of the mall. She felt like she was going to cry in sadness over her destroyed necklace but then it was quickly replace with anger. She then pointed accusingly at her supposed best friend.
"Now look what you done! You destroyed it!"
Silver had a look of anger and disbelief on her face. "ME!? You're the one who pulled it too tight! And now it's ruined!"
"It wouldn't been ruined if you haven't stole it!" Diamond yelled.
"No. It wouldn't been ruined if you haven't bought it!" Silver shouted.
"U-um... girls–"
Both Diamond and Silver turned their heads at Apple Bloom with fierce glares. "BUTT OUT!"
Apple Bloom flinched from them in fear but decided to keep her mouth shut to avoid their wrath.
Diamond then turned back to Silver with narrowed eyes. "I just can't believe you Silver Spoon! You knew how much I loved that necklace! Not only you stole it from me from our sleepover a few weeks back, but you also lied to me! Just why? Why did you stole my necklace!?"
Silver faced Diamond with a disbelieving scoff. "Your necklace?"
"Yeah! My necklace! The one that belongs to me!" Diamond screamed.
"That necklace never belonged to you to begin with!" Silver yelled angrily.
Diamond growled. "What do you mean!?"
"You know exactly what I mean!" Silver spat.
Feeling worried and confused with the situation, Apple Bloom decided to speak up. "Silver... what are you talking about?"
Silver turned to Apple Bloom with angry eyes while pointing at Diamond. "That necklace Diamond always likes to wear... actually belonged to my late grandmother!"
Both Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara widened their eyes in shock.
"What!?" They both cried in union.
Silver sighed sadly. "My grandmother, bless her soul... used to wear that necklace all the time because it was originally a gift from my late grandfather before they got married. Even after he passed away shortly after my mother was born, she never remove it because she wanted a part of my grandfather with her. But at some point when I was born... we were having... financial problems and we barely made ends meet. So my grandmother... sold that necklace away for huge sums of money to help the family.
"We eventually become rich, but my grandmother passed away before that happened. She did so much for us, so I wanted to find that necklace again so that I can have a part of my grandmother with me. I eventually found that necklace at the pawn shop of all places and I told Diamond that I'm planning to buy it. But even with some of my parents money... they wanted me to work for it as a way to do honest work. So I took a part time job for a while so that I can make enough money to purchase that necklace."
Silver than becoming sad and somber as she continued. "When I finally had enough, I immediately headed to the store to buy it... only to find out that it was already purchased! I was so upset that I did all of that for nothing and that I'll never get a chance to get my grandmother's necklace again."
Her expression then changed to anger and glared daggers at Diamond. "But then the next day of school... I saw her showing off that very same necklace that I worked so hard for to get it back! She knew that I wanted that necklace, so she just swooped in with her father's money and bought it for herself... like a spoiled little diva she truly is!"
Still shocked with the revelation, Apple Bloom turned towards Diamond who had a guilt expression. "Diamond... was that true?"
Diamond didn't hear Apple Bloom and tried to reach out to her best friend. "Silver Spoon... I-I had no-"
"Save it!" Silver spat with tears in he eyes. "I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore! If there's one thing I'll thank Anon-a-Miss for, was that she taught me that a bully like you never changes!"
Silver quickly turned and run away, leaving Apple Bloom and Diamond behind.
"Wait, Silver Spoon!" Apple Bloom shouted. "Come back! Yer being unfair! Ah don't think you know the full story! Maybe she didn't know that was your grandmother's! Isn't dat right Dia-"
Apple Bloom turned around to talk to Diamond Tiara, only to see no one but the crowd surrounding her.
"Diamond? Diamond, where did ya go!?"
She looked around frantically until she spotted Diamond who just broke through the crowd and ran towards the opposite direction of the mall.
"Diamond wait!" Apple Bloom cried and tried to give chance, only to be held in place by a firm grip from someone's hand.
"Hold it right there Missy!"
Apple Bloom looked up to see a female mall cop, who was giving her irritated look and pointed at all the scattered necklace pieces around the area.
"You're not going anywhere until you clean up all this mess that was left from your friends!"
Realizing that she couldn't get herself out of it, Apple Bloom slumped.
"Aw... fiddlesticks!"
There was originally going to be more, but I don't want it to be too long. So I broke this chapter into two parts!
Expect part two very shortly!
