Wait, whose diary did Summer steal?
“Lyra?” Summer Spark said, knocking on Lyras door. After a few seconds without a response, he smirked as he got an idea. “I’m respecting your privacy by knocking, but asserting my authority as your brother by coming in anyway!”
Summer Spark opened the door and filed in, earning an annoyed glare from Lyra as she pulled her head up from her pillow. “I thought I locked that.”
“With how sad you were? Please.” He stopped and looked at Lyra. “Not that it would’ve stopped me, I’ve been working really hard on my lockpicking to break into your diary.”
Lyra looked confused. “I don’t have a diary.”
“Then whose diary did I steal?”
Lyra just gave him a confused look before groaning and looking away. “What do you want Summer? I’m not in the mood.”
“You’re sad, which makes me sad, and so I’m here to make you un-sad.” Summer Spark was quiet for a moment before clearing his throat. “I also maybe want to know where your relationship is with Bonny right now.”
“There is no relationship.” Lyras glare hardened. “Didn’t you hear me break up with her?”
“Ah, you’re better off.” Summer Spark turned away and walked up to Lyras desk, picking up a photo of her and Bon-Bon. “She was ugly anyway.”
Lyra whipped her head around, a furious expression on her face. “Just who do you think you are, you little-!” She stopped when she saw Summers smug face looking back at her. “Ok, fine.” She looked away. “I don’t want to break up with her, but I’m not happy with her either.”
“Which is fine and all, but if you don’t want to break up with her, why did you say that to her?”
“Cause I wanted to hurt her.” Lyra answered. “She hurt me, so I wanted to hurt her back. Make her afraid she’d lost me.”
“And people say I’m the immature one.”
Lyra scoffed. “You’re not dating yet, you don’t get it.”
“I guess, but is hurting her really what you want? It doesn’t really help anyone and she already feels bad.” Summer Spark argued. “Making her think you broke up with her will just make things worse down the line.”
“Why are you on her side!?” Lyra sat up and glared at Summer Spark.
“I’m not on her side!” Summer Spark held up his hands defensively. “I’m angry at her too, but I didn’t like seeing her cry as much as I don’t like seeing you cry.”
“God, it feels like you prefer her over me.” Lyra growled. “You two never argue, you never play pranks on her, and you never try to annoy her.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that me getting along with your girlfriend offended you.” Summer Spark said sarcastically.
“Well don’t phrase it like that!” Lyra gave one last annoyed huff before looking away. Her glare softened and frown deepened after a few seconds. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t yell at you. I’m just going through a lot right now. I don’t mean to take it out on you.”
“Hey, no biggie.” Summer Spark shrugged. “I knew the dangers coming in here. Honestly this is going better than I thought it would. I thought you’d drop kick me out of the room.”
Lyra didn’t say anything, though her frown did dissipate lightly. “What you said earlier, ‘Why am I always the screw up’, what did you mean by that?”
“Well, you know, I’m always being accused of something.” Summer Spark rubbed his neck nervously. “Why can’t anyone else be punished or accused for a change?”
“You’re responsible for most of it.” Lyra held up her left hand in exasperation. “It’s a pretty safe bet to accuse you.”
“Yeah, I know.” Summer Spark rolled his eyes, walking up to Lyras bed and sitting next to her. “But it gets pretty tiring being accused of every little thing that goes wrong. Sometimes I feel like a black sheep.”
“Well, in that case, I’m sorry for accusing and yelling at you earlier. I should’ve just let mom and dad handle it.”
“It’s fine. Nobody could’ve predicted Bon-Bon would've done that to you, plus you at least waited a few weeks.” Summer Spark was quiet for a moment, trying to think how to say his next words carefully. “She had a point, you know.”
“Summer.”
“She did! I’m not saying what she did was right or anything, but that hot girl at your school is a unicorn right? Doesn’t that give you bragging rights?”
“Did you just call Sunset-” Lyra shook her head. “Where did you learn such crude language?”
“I’m in middle school.” Summer said like it was obvious. “I’m learning all kinds of new vocabulary there.”
“Ok, first off, ew. Don’t ever call Sunset hot again, she is wayyyy too old for you… don’t call anyone hot in front of me again actually. Second off, we need to keep you away from bad influences at school. I don’t like the idea of my little brother swearing.”
“Fuck you, I can swear if I want.” They both shared a long laugh, stopping when Lyra placed a finger to his chest and looked at him seriously.
“Not until you’re thirteen. Got it?”
“Got it.” Summer smiled nervously and nodded quickly. “But seriously, if it was me I’d be lording over everyone that I was right about Unicorns.”
“Ok, technically I wasn’t right because I think Unicorns exist here, not that they exist in some other world. That was never even considered.” Lyra elaborated. “Plus, you really think the school would care? They hear I believed in Unicorns before Sunset and I’d never hear the end of it.”
“Everyone at your school’s pretty nice from what I’ve seen, and I'm sure Sunset would back you up considering.”
“Well, guess we’ll never know since a certain someone went and told Anon-A-Miss.” Lyra grumbled bitterly.
“Speaking of which, if you’re not breaking up with her, then what will you be doing?”
“How should I know?” Lyra flopped down onto her bed. “All I know is I don’t want to cut her out of my life, I love her you know? But I’m not sure we can go back to what we had before, not right now anyway.” No one said anything for a minute. “Look, if you still want to get sweets and stuff from her, you can, I won’t get mad.”
“After she betrayed your trust like that? No way!” Summer Spark said proudly. “Like I said, I’m mad at her too. I may not want to see you two break up, but she definitely crossed a line. Nobody makes my sister cry and gets away with it.”
Lyra smiled, touched by her brother’s sentiment. She pulled herself back up and looked at him. “You know, I don’t think you’re a screw up, nobody does. You’re just a little… annoying, which I guess is normal for your age. If you cut down on all the pranks I’m sure you’ll be accused a lot less, and even then your pranks aren’t all that bad.”
“After nearly being punished for giving your secret to Anon-A-Miss, I think I’m going to cut down on them from now on. Don’t want to go through that again.” Summer Spark cringed for a moment. “You’ll also be prank free while you and Bon-Bon are sorting things out, since you’re already dealing with a lot.”
“Thanks.” She punched him in the arm. “You are going to have to get me new shampoo though. I can’t wash my hair with mayo you know.”
“Don’t worry, I moved your shampoo to a different bottle, I didn’t want to spend money replacing it.” Summer Spark smirked. “And it was expired mayonnaise, I thought it would be funnier that way.”
“Why you little-” Lyra stood up, Summer Spark bolted the door and stuck out his tongue at her before running out the room.
The two girls locked lips for what felt like an eternity, Apple Bloom's mind racing and heart going a thousand miles an hour.
Diamond Tiara finally opened her eyes and realized what she was doing. Her eyes widened and she quickly pulled away, shoving Apple Bloom to put some space between the two of them and turning around.
Apple Bloom briefly lost her footing but caught herself before she fell. She brought her right and brushed her lips, trying to confirm what just happened was real. “Diamond?”
“I can’t believe I just did that.” Diamond Tiara placed her head in her hands. “You probably don’t even like girls. God I’m so stupid.”
“Actually, Ah kinda do.” Apple Bloom walked up to Diamond Tiara. “And… well, Ah maybe sorta kinda have a teeny tiny little crush on yah.”
“Really?” Diamond Tiara turned around, a hopeful expression on her face. It quickly disappeared and she lowered herself down to work on her garden. “Well, it can’t work. I mean, I’m still mad at you. Your friends would probably never support it. And doesn’t your family vote Republican?”
“Doesn’t yer dad vote republican too?”
“Yeah, but he does it for business deregulation and lower taxes.” Diamond Tiara looked up at Apple Bloom. “Your family’s conservative country folk, don’t they think gay people are the devils work?”
“Well, that’s rather cliche don’t yah think? Yah don’t like people thinking yer a rich brat.” Apple Bloom was somewhat offended by the insinuation, crossing her arms. “Besides, my family would support me no matter what.”
“Do you know that?” Diamond Tiara stood up. “Have you ever actually talked to them about it? Do they know about you? Have they ever openly supported gay marriage?” Apple Bloom said nothing. “How do you know they wouldn’t send you to a pray the gay away camp?”
“They would never!”
“Do you know that for sure?” A long silence fell between them, Apple Bloom looking at the ground anxiously. “Look, I just don’t want to get you in trouble with your family. I know my dad doesn’t care and I’d hate to cause a rift between you and your folks.”
“Isn’t forbidden love romantic or something?” Apple Bloom offered with a small smile.
“Maybe, but something tells me both of us wouldn’t want that.” Diamond Tiara placed a hand on Apple Bloom's shoulder. “I’m not sure right now is the best time to discuss this, so how about we finish up and talk about it tomorrow. Ok?”
Apple Bloom was disappointed but nodded. “Alright.”
“If you two are finished, I must ask the two of you to wash up for dinner.” Both Girls paled at the voice, Diamond Tiara turning around to find Randolph standing behind her.
“R-Randolph!” She pulled her hand away from Apple Bloom, blushing furiously. “H-how long were you standing there?”
“Why, I just got here young mistress. I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.” Randolph said with a wink. “Just two friends talking.”
Both girls blushed, Apple Bloom clearing out her throat. “You wanted the two of us to wash up. Does that mean Ah’m staying?”
Randolph nodded. “Master talked to your grandmother and you will be joining us. She has specified you don’t have dessert however, given you are still being punished.”
“Ah figured.” Apple Bloom couldn’t help but be a little sad at that, she always wondered what it was like to eat one of those ice creams with pure gold on it.
“Think you can handle the food?” Apple Bloom looked over to see Diamond smirking at her. “There isn't going to be any mashed taters or steak fresh from the cow.”
“Don’t worry.” Apple Bloom squinted at her. “Ah can stomach having a five course meal with lobster and a suckling pig.”
“Ok, first off, gross. I don’t want to eat anything that still has its face. And just how expensive do you think I eat?”
“Didn’t yah pay Gourmand Ramsay to cook for yah once?”
“... Point taken. But that was a one time thing. Now.” Diamond Tiara grabbed Apple Bloom's arm. “We should really be getting back before my mother yells at me for being late.”
Apple Bloom blushed at the contact, letting Diamond lead her along as she was lost in thought. Her mind was racing; thinking about the kiss, whether her family would support her, and what happens now.
She tried telling herself that her family would support her no matter what, but the doubt still wiggled at the back of her mind.
‘Ah need to tell AJ first. She’d get it.’ She thought. ‘Ah hope…’

Maybe summer should put the diary back before he ends in the same mess Lyra end up in. As for bloom I have no idea how her family would take beyond probably not sending her away to be cured from her feelings. As bon bon she really should have talked about it with her girlfriend before posting on a gossip site about her girlfriend beliefs.
I've never been a fan of the whole "The Apples are homophobic bumpkins" thing. It's too cliche and often seems to come up in stories just for the sake of drama.
Lyra being torn over how to feel about Bon Bon makes sense, though making her believe that they'd broken up is immature though understandable. Bon Bon's really got a her work cut out for her if she's gonna make amends.
11165688
It is rather cliche. I feel like the Apples wouldn’t be those kind of people, they seem to value family above all else.
It’s also unlikely that there’d be a lot of homophobia in Equestria to begin with.
You got that right. She’s got her entire friend group, her own family, probably the school, and her girlfriend she needs to mend ties with.
Whose diary did Summer steal indeed?
It's nice of Summer for him to comfort his sister... in his own way at least. And it's good to hear that Lyra didn't really want to break up with Bon Bon, but didn't necessarily want to forgive her yet either.
Again, while Lyra have every right to be angry, but I hope she won't do anything to make Bon Bon feel worse. It's just as Summer said: "it will just make things worse down the line".
While both Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara acknowledged their feelings, it wasn't the best time right now because Diamond is still mad at Apple Bloom and in fear that Apple Bloom’s family won't support them. I hope that wasn't the case.
Well, at least they have dinner to look forward to.
Great chapter!
Why do I have a feeling that the Diary Summer stole is Sunset's? (I could be very wrong though.)
I'm... not even going to comment on the Political thing about the Apple (and Diamond's) family. I never really thought about it at all until now as they will eventually have to vote on certain subjects sooo... yeah...
And I really don't see the point of putting frickinGOLDon food at all... other than making it more expensive... and look unappetizingI certainly hope that Applebloom's family will be supportive. I'd hate to think of them as Trump supporters and as unaccepting of her. I am very accepting of LGBT rights. And that is where I will end this comment.
11165709
How would he get access to her diary though?
Going by demographics and stereotypes, Diamonds family would probably be business focused Republicans, mostly wanting business deregulation and lower taxes.
ABs family would be conservative religious Republicans, patriotic and wanting to keep things as they are and dislike of big government.
Conspicuous consumption my friend. Makes quite the statement that you’re eating freaking gold with your food.
11165713
Good, cause that was skirting close to being political.
AJ probably would be though, rural republicans seem to have a tendency to supporting Trump.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
11165724
I guess that's one way of looking at it. Even if it does seem to be a bit cliche now that I think about it when depicting the EQ Apple family.
😑 Suddenly reminded when I heard about the most expensive Burger...
image-cdn.hypb.st/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2021%2F07%2Fworlds-most-expensive-de-dalton-golden-boy-hamburger-news-000.jpg?w=960&cbr=1&q=90&fit=max
$6,000...Well first of all, a good chapter love it.
Second I doubt they trump supporters not every Rep is one, sure they think he the one that make them look like hicks.
Also I been wanting to say this, while Bon Bon screwed up and lead to things as they are.
I take back what i said about it making Octi making such bad choice, before.
While it did make things worst, Octi still choose to do and believe what she did was right.
Which it wasn't, and look what happened, she lost three members of their group and lost her girlfriend as well.
I remember this bit, things were bad enough when Derpy defended Sunset during the incident, that was said.
It sounds like Octi resented Sunset still, enough to not only go blame her for Anon A Miss but also get pretty angry about her being defended.
But either way it made things worst for when she accused and exiled Derpy in the end, how could Vinyl stay with someone like that.
What no battering ram?
Hey Sunset IS hot, both in an almost litteral sense given her fiery hair and personality, also because she is just plain hot.
I get the joke here, Diamond's parents are more rich republicans while Appleblooms are more the southern kind but I'm really hoping we don't get a lot of politics in this story as we get enough of that in pretty much everything else.
11165713
Okay, can we please not bring politics into this? This never ends well for anyone, people make assumptions about everyone, insults get thrown and all that other nonsense.
Let's leave that crude in Twitter please.
11165737
Cliche would be making them homophobia and incestuous, making them Republican is probably pretty accurate for EG. Obviously there wouldn’t be any of that in Equestria. They probably don’t even have political parties (as we know them).
what in the holy hell.
That doesn’t even look appetizing. All that expensive stuff would not mesh well together.
6000? For that? That’s more than what I make in a month.
11165759
Hey, I'm not trying to so don't make assumptions okay?
11165777
Watch the tone, I won’t allow an argument to break out.
11165757
It’s difficult for an 11 year old to get one of those.
She is, but Yra doesn’t ant to hear her brother say that about anyone.
This actually made me laugh
Oh cool, your story is getting political.
Guess I'm out, which is a shame, since this story was good otherwise.
Summer is such a chad brother that not even his sister can argue with his logic.
But all jokes about summer aside I love the way you portray him, Lyra, & their dynamic!
Apple bloom x Diamond Tiara is as cute as ever
This might be a weird question, but do...do you think the word 'hot' is a swear word?
Also this chapter wasn't great, you should consider giving it a rethink.
11165852
It was one joke. I didn’t take a stance on any side of the spectrum and even said I won’t allow arguments to break out in the comments. How is that political?
11165933
No, it’s just odd for an 11 year old to say that. Lyras commenting on Summer implying he’s learning to swear at middle school.
What didn’t you like about it?
11166032
Plentiful experience with fanfic tells me that your personal politics will soon become a major focal point of that particular sub-plot.
Just say no to fanfic writers and their preaching.
11166142
This subplots gonna have AB come out to her family.
I assure you there won’t be anything political in this fic.
11165782
I have no intention of starting one.
11166142
Okay dude, you are clearly over reacting to this. One instance of politics was brought up and it was a politically neutral stance. Just because it was brought up once doesn’t mean it will suddenly become politically focused.
I think you’re projecting too much personal experience unto someone where it isn’t warranted.
11166228
Have fun reading the author's manifesto.
11166278
I highly doubt there’s gonna be one. You seem to be the most politically charged person here if anything.
11166278
Since I'd rather not lose a fan, how about this?
You continue reading, and the next time there's a mention of politics you stop and never come back, I won't even respond to your last comment if you announce you're going to stop.
As God is my witness, I assure you there won't be any kind of politics or political stance in this fic.
11166344
Pass.
11166370
Sir, I gave you a good compromise and my assurance that politics won't come into this.
I don't know how else I can convince you that there won't be anything political.
Maybe wait till AB comes out to her family? You believe politics will color that subplot, but perhaps seeing it first hand will convince you there won't.
I've got a bad feeling about how Applebloom's family is going to react to her sexuality.
11166379
You brought real world contemporary politics into My Little Pony. I don't have to justify myself further.
11166388
All I did was mention Republicans and this is EG which takes place in the human world. It's not like I took a stance, any stance, on any type of politics or had contemporary politics mentioned in Equestria.
There won't be politics in this fic, there was a singular mention of Republicans in this chapter and nothing before.
I'm really trying to work with you here, I don't want to lose a fan. There literally won't be any kind of politics in this fic, and it's not a crime to mention a political party as an entity.
11165700
She may be a bit spiteful here and there, being passive aggressive you make her feel worse. Then immediately guilty about it.
11165885
Derpy does have a boyfriend, and she’s too sweet to cheat on him. So no SunDerp in this one, though that is a unique ship.
11165889
chad meme intensifies.
The annoying little brother and big sister who actually care for eachother dynamic?
You don’t see that often, which is somewhat surprising.
11166633
11166636
Gladness that SunDerp isn’t a thing!
Also want to point out you didn’t discount SunJack (we still have a chance boys)
I love the Annoying little brother who cares trope which is something most media fails to pull off these days making the annoying the overtake the caring or making them so caring that they clearly aren’t siblings. (Siblings are meant to annoy each other)
Apple Bloom x Diamond Tiara is such an underrated ship (probably because the got rid of Diamond after the crusaders got their marks)
And I like seeing them but I do hope you make the coming out thing not to much about politics or drama and keep a smallish side story because as much as I like the couple
The side stories are kinda consuming the main story which I wanna know about. Mainly Sunset making up with everyone else and understanding her Fluttershy hatred.
11166727
Good, cause I’m an only child. All I know is sibilants hate eachother most of the time.
Was disappointing she basically dropped off the map.
I promise to you and all my fans that there will be no politics of any kind whatsoever in this fic. There won’t even be references to political entities or political figures, this is the only time politics is even barely mentione din passing. This isn’t going to be a manifesto.
Subplots probably going to end with AB coming out, with DT helping AB and her friends with earning the schools forgiveness.
We’ll see some of that next chapter. AJs gonna call Sunset up, then Sunset and Derpy will talk, then we’ll have Scoots at dinner ruminating over the Valedictorian.
11166399
Just let it go. This guy seems so toxic and hypocritical that it’s a blessing to be rid of him. Good riddance to close minded people like him!
11166999
Yeah but I hate to lose a fan, especially over something so minor. He could literally read the rest of the story and not find a single mention of politics.
11166142
Why can’t you just read the story and see that it isn’t a manifesto? That there won’t be politics? How in god’s name can I convince you there won’t be anything remotely political in this fic?
Why do you think so low of me? That a single mention of Republicans is enough for you to declare the story political?
I’m really trying to retain you as a fan but I’m at my wits end here.
11165745
That particular emotion does strange things to your head. 🥴
11167552
Don't try to compromise with a troll. They wanna leave, let them.
11167031
If that person decided to leave your story over something so minor, than don't even bother, it's their loss. One thing I learned years back when writing a story on this site (or any fanfic sites for that matter) is that we can't always please everyone.
Yes, it sucks to lose a reader, but at the end of the day, you still have other readers who are still here following you, enjoying your story and eager for more chapters, myself included.
So don't let them get to you!
i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/850/896/c3e.gif
11167552
Wow, you're actually begging. That's kind of sad.
It's not just the "Republicans" angle. You've made your stance on an issue center stage for a portion of your story. I'm not interested in reading that, and it's going to be tedious, and woven through the rest of the story.
I'm not interested.
Stop begging.
11167888
Really. Well, let’s look at what was said
What about this presents my thoughts on any issue? Two lines just say how a characters family votes, not how they themselves vote.
Then we have an objective fact: ‘he does it for business deregulation and lower taxes’ which is exactly what Republicans believe.
Then the last line is Diamond basically stereotyping Blooms family because her emotions are a mess and she’s anxious and doesn’t know how they would feel.
Then the rest of the chapter has nothing to do with politics and just deals with Blooms family and whether or not they’ll support her.
What exactly is my stance? That I don’t like gay marriage? If that’s the case, then why did I write LyraBon extensively and portray it positively?
Is my stance that I support gay marriage? Well, if you’re against that then you wouldn’t like LyraBon to begin with so I’m not sure why you’d stick around for so long. I also ask how you’d get what my beliefs are from those three lines. Please tell me, what is my stance in this chapter cause I myself don’t know.
What about it screams what my personal feelings are or sounds like the author harping on about politics? What screams that it’ll be woven into the rest of the story? Can’t you just read the rest of the subplot and see there won’t be politics?
Sir, I think you’re projecting your own bad experiences with politics coming into the story when it is completely undeserved. If I was political, there’d both be more politics in this story and I’d have taken a very clear stance in this chapter. I’d have either condemned Republicans or openly support them, then harp on about whatever issue effects me. I even said in the authors notes I wouldn’t allow arguments to break out no matter where on the spectrum the commenters fall on or what they argue about.
I’m begging you because you’re a fan and I try to keep my fans happy and hate losing them. I can take a fan leaving cause they don’t like a chapter or the direction a stories going, but I can’t just sit here while you leave over a complete non issue, while you’re accusing me of being political which is an attack in my character, while literally nobody else is saying this is in any way political.
I’ve tried being patient, tried reassuring you, asked you how I could convince you it wouldn’t get poltical, made a very good compromise with you, but you have done nothing but insult, berate, and be close minded and unreasonable. You complain I’m the one being political but you’re the one decrying this fic for being political in the first place when nobody else is and refuse to believe me when I say it won’t get political.
What kind of political person tries to retain their fans so extensively and harps on that it won’t get political?
If you leave then you spent a lot of time and energy for nothing. You’ll miss out on the entire rest of the story, Sunsets recovery, Diamond and Bloom, Sunset working things out with the Rainbooms, and the sequels I have planned. Then you’ll ignore all my other stories in the future because you unfairly judged me and my character based on practically nothing, which is frankly kinda sad. You might’ve enjoyed them.
I can’t retain you if you really want to leave, but I will be sad to see you go over something like this. And if this was enough to drive you away, believe the worst of me, and offend you, then I’m sorry.
11167622
I don’t want to lose a fan over this. I like my fans and want to keep them happy. I just don’t know how I can convince him it won’t be political.
11167638
I get you can’t please everyone and I don’t really try, there is an Aesop for that after all. But this isn’t that. He’s leaving because he’s afraid it’ll be political, but it won’t, and I want him to see that and enjoy the rest of the story.
Thanks though Sonic, maybe I should just focus on writing for my other fans.
11168203
Yes, I'm aware of that, but my point still stands. If they still don't see reason and give you a hard time, then don't pay them any mind.
As I said, you still got other readers who are still here enjoying your story.
Genius! Fairy OddParents classic!
