Chapter 3 Who Wants a Hearth's Warming Present

As Diamond tried to dig through the snow she realizes that she was in a dark, warm, soft environment. As she pulls the covers off of her and finds that she is back in her room.
“It was all just a dream. I think I’m going to get me beauty rest now that’s over,” she yawned
She puts her head down on the pillow and closes her eyes. The clock strikes 2, Diamond looks at the clock.
“Did Derpy say there were 3 ghosts, I already got visited by 1 so where is the other 2? Maybe I was thinking too hard about it and that made it so when I fell asleep had a dream about it,” she thought
Diamond started hearing noises coming from the living room.
“Is dad up doing something or is it just me?” Diamond gets out of bed and walks out of her room. She walks into the living room.
There were books all around the room; it was like the whole room was turned into a library. In the very center of the room there was a purple pony that Diamond recognized.
“Twilight?” she looked at her strangely
Twilight was wearing a green robe with a white turtleneck and leaves also surrounding her head.
Twilight reads “Let’s see here, it says that the universe was made when there was a big explosion. The universe is still expanding today.”
Twilight moves to the other side of the room and opens a book.
“Let’s see, earthquakes are caused by cracks in the earth’s crust called faults. When the faults get stuck pressure builds and once the faults move again that means all of the pressure is released and the ground shakes,” she reads
“Maybe if I run away she won’t find me,” Diamond thought. She backed out of the room slowly.
“So what do we have here?”
Diamond looks behind her and Twilight was standing there. Diamond was surprised; she was just at the other side of the room looking at a book.
“Why are you here Twilight?” Diamond asked
“I’m the ghost of Hearth's Warming present. I’m here to take you to the present,” Twilight answered
“Is the present what’s going on right now?”
“Yes,” Twilight answered
“So I’m in the present so what do you want to show me?” Diamond asked
“Come with me, hold on to my robe,”
Diamond grabs onto her robe. Twilight opens the window and jumps out. Diamond closes her eyes hoping that she will be dreaming. When she opens her eyes she was flying over Ponyville.
“I never thought that I would fly in my lifetime,” Diamond thought
Twilight and Diamond landed right outside of Sugercube Corner. It was snowing outside, but it was not windy.
“Why are we here?” Diamond asked as she was shivering in the cold.
Twilight went through the walls of Sugercube Corner. Diamond walked to the wall where Twilight went into. Twilight’s head pops out and she bites Diamond’s hair and pulls her in.
“Don’t bite my hair ever!” Diamond demanded
Twilight points her hoof at the counter. Diamond looks and Applejack was sitting with 2 two ponies. One was named Fluttershy and was a yellow pony with pink long mane and three pink butterflies for her cutie mark, the other pony was named Rarity and had white pony with purple cured mane and three light blue diamonds for her cutie mark.
“What’s wrong Applejack?’ Rarity asked
“You seem down Applejack, is there anything I can do to help you?” Fluttershy asked
“The Apple family is poor until the end of winter. It’s Apple Bloom; Diamond Tiara took one of her presents. Apple Bloom said the she will give away a lot of the gifts that’s she gets. She said that it will help pay off the surgery. That tiara that Diamond took cost a lot of money; it had enough to pay off the surgery. Now since that tiara is gone we can’t afford to pay off her surgery,” Applejack explained
“Poor Apple Bloom,” downed Rarity
“Oh my, I don’t like what’s going on,” Fluttershy said
“Diamond needs to give that tiara back. Apple Bloom could die without it,” Applejack demanded
“Yay like I will do that. I would not want Apple Bloom in my life, I would rather have her dead,” Diamond yelled
“You know that they can’t see or hear you,” Twilight explained
“That’s great, now I can talk about them,” Diamond said
“Let’s not, I have something else to show you,” Twilight said
Twilight and Diamond go through the wall and they were at a tree house at Sweet Apple Acres. The treehouse was the headquarters for The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Somepony was coming up the latter. Scootaloo walks into the tree house and a pony named Sweetie Bell. She was a white pony and had a light purple and a white stripe mane and no cutie mark.
“I can’t believe this Sweetie Bell. Diamond Tiara has gone too far. Somepony very close to use is slowly fading away and Diamond made it even worst,” Scootaloo said
“Are group leader could die soon, we need to do something like start a fundraiser,” Sweetie Bell suggested
“That is not a bad idea, maybe we will get our cutie marks for donations,” Scootaloo suggested
“But what if she dies by the time we raised the money,” Sweetie Bell said
“Don’t think like that, or maybe we can steal the tiara back from Diamond,” Scootaloo thought
“Do you really want to risk that,” Sweetie said
“You're right, well I’m out of ideas,” Scootaloo said
“Me too,” Sweetie said
“You should, think of what you have done; you broke the hearts of many ponies that care for Apple Bloom,” Twilight explained
“But I only care for myself. Apple Bloom can go ahead and die,” Diamond huffed
“I want you to look into your heart and think. Do you really want her to die,” Twilight asked? Diamond thinks about Apple Bloom. She thought of the time she asked her to do gossip on the newspaper. That was all her fault. Diamond was very mean to her ever since they met.
Diamond starts to cry. “Please I’m sorry for what happened; I will do anything to fix this.”
Twilight was gone. There was an intense fog around here. There was too much fog in the air that she could not see in front of her face. Diamond was all alone in the fog.
