Chapter 4
"Silver Spoon! I'm here!" Diamond Tiara yelled from outside the house.
There's a new thing called knocking. I think you should try it. It doesn't matter, though. Not today.
"Silver Spoon! Come on and get your lazy flank out here!"
I stayed in my bed. I had to fight the urge to hurry and get out there like I usually did. This was all part of the plan.
"Silvia? Your friend's here," Mom said from outside my door.
I know. It's impossible not to hear her. Still, I just lie there.
This better work. Those three words kept spiraling through my head. I was scared out of my mind. More scared than I had ever been back in Canterlot. Okay, that might have been a lie, but still, I was really scared. I kept thinking of the most likely possible outcomes, and they mostly all ended with what I wanted. But I was getting a little too used to getting what I wanted, so the heavens or something might decide otherwise! Wait, I don't believe in that sort of thing. This was making me crazy. I took a deep breath and cleared my mind.
After a while I looked over at the clock. 5:53. Diamond Tiara should be at school now. I got out of bed and slid on my old glasses. I ran a comb through my hair, but definitely not as much as usual. I glanced in the mirror and smiled. It's always nice to see an old friend.
Quickly and silently, I grabbed my saddlebags and sneaked out of my room. Mom would be so caught up in her work that she'd think that I already went to school with Diamond Tiara. I cut through the kitchen to avoid her and opened the door. I poked my head out and made sure there was no sign of Diamond Tiara. I hold in my sigh on relief and step outside, quietly closing the door behind me. This was going exactly as planned.

It was a little hard to get to the school because usually Diamond Tiara led us, but I finally found my way. I got to the end of the gate and just stared at everypony. Most of the fillies and foals were playing on the playground, but there were a few scattered. I spotted Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom off at a picnic table, talking. I guess Scootaloo isn't here today. Snips and Snails were sitting in the sandbox.
And finally, Diamond Tiara. She was standing on the stairway up to the schoolhouse talking to one of the foals that we usually never talk to. I took a deep breath and walked through the gate.
It seemed like everypony stopped and stared at me. I think everypony did. When Diamond Tiara saw me, her jaw just dropped open. I couldn't keep my smile inside.
"Wh- wha?" was all she could sputter.
"Hey Diamond Tiara, like my new look?" My smile spread all the way across my face. It had been so long since it did that.
She stared at me for a long time. So long in fact, I thought I had broke her. Then she said, "Actually, I think I do."
Okay, definitely broke her. How could she like this? I look like me. She's not supposed to like the real me.
"Are you going for the stylishly messy? 'Cause it looks good." Diamond Tiara trotted over next to me. Before either of us could say anything, the bell rang, and we all had to scuttle inside.
This was not going as planned.
* * *
All through school all I thought about was how this could go wrong. Her reaction was supposed to be "Ew! What did you do to yourself?" And I would recite this speech I had been practicing about I don't want to be her sidekick anymore. I looked over at her. She was staring up at the board where Miss. Cheerilee stood, pretending to pay attention. What did she always think about anyway? How to ruin more pony's lives?
I shook my head and looked over to Sweetie Belle, who was taking notes. I automatically thought of all the times she cried; All the times I made her cry. Yet, despite all those times, she always remained happy, while I remained depressed. She, and most others, may not know it, but she's strong. Stronger than I could ever be.
My glance moved over to Apple Bloom. What's it like being an orphan? How could someone grow up without parents? What happened to her parents? Was she old enough to remember it? It also got me thinking about Scootaloo. I know we were bullying, but I actually wanted some of those questions answered. Why didn't she live with other relatives? I start to visualize a tiny baby Scootaloo wandering alone and confused in the streets. I'm going to have to apologize to her big time.
Then I looked over at Snips. How could he like me? Hadn't he seen all the things I'd done? What a horrible pony I was? Whatever the reason, he was stupid for liking me. I didn't deserve anything like that from anypony.
Snails looked over at me while I was staring at him. He blushed and looked away. Great, now he's going to think I like him back. What a day this is turning out to be.
I places my forehead to the table. What am I going to do now?

Why did it take me so long to realize this is here? I enjoyed it. Please do go on.
Why can't SS just give DT her speech at any time?
3206750
Isnt it obvious? she is trying to make it easier by getting DT to admit she doesn't care for who Silver really is. She is trying to get Diamond to dump her first, because she herself is hoplessly addicted and it's hard for her to just come out and say it to her face.
and OMG Sylvia is the birth name of my Serving Silver Spoon blog pony on tumblr.
Sylvia Catherine Spoon to be precise.
Is this story cancelled?
Can you give a description of the older glasses? I'm trying to visualize her and they just won't appear.
Question: why haven't you finished this?
PLEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEE DONT BE DEAD STORY!!! DONT BE DEAD!!!!!
5828900 LIVE!!!
Get the defibrillator... Clear! <pomf>
Again... Clear! <pomf>
JUST LIVE!!!
5847601 Is it working?!
5848117 I... Can't say for sure. It's unresponsive, but there is a heart beat.
5852794 Hmmm... Is it brain dead?
5852794 If so... What do you suggest?
5852820 I... Don't know... I think that we have two options: 1. We just sit and wait, until he/she gets back up or... 2. We bombard the system with stimuli, constantly asking for some sort of response until it happens. Take your pick
5857324 We could try option one for a few weeks... If that doesn't work we will have to resort to option two.
That sound good?
5857628 okay, one question though... How long is a few weeks?
5859569 Three weeks.
5859981 well, we've been waiting for almost two years, what's three weeks more?
5867466 True... Shall we commence then?
5867491 three weeks starting... Now!
5867495 Awesome.
5867495 Three days left... What's the status?
5935981 obviously still unresponsive. Chances are this is a student. Work is being piled on.
5940616 I guess so... But 33 weeks? Maybe this is worse than we initially thought... Hmmmmm......
5940980 know any hackers? We could trace the account back to the e-mail and send them an email directly
5941965 Hacking isn't an option... It's illegal, so... Ask around, I suppose?
5941988 that is a very good idea. But seriously, who stays logged off this for 34 weeks?!
5944280 Ive seen people logged off for 79 weeks... O_O But the last time they got on was just before school started. So I suppose your school theory could be correct. Sorry for being slow on the uptake.
EDIT: Oh! If it's any consolation each time we reply to each others comments I believe Riverclan101gets an email saying we posted a comment on this story.
5945001

That moment when you look through an old account to look for an old comment and see that people like a story you wrote two years ago. If I'm completely honest, I started the next chapter a really long time ago, but had writers block, then school piled on and then, well, I grew out my bronyism. But if you all still like it, I will try my best to finish the story whenever I can get around to it. Which, may be in a very long time. I apologize for making you all wait so long
5945402 Welcome back to the fandom!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
MORNING DUSK!!! GET DA PARTY CANNON FROM PINKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, hey! It's olay. 
Take your time on the next chapter. And, hey... I've seen stories that haven't been worked on for three years. So don't beat yourself up over this.
I hope that came out the way I meant.
5945866 wow... That actually worked... Most of the time it doesn't but... YES!!! HEADWAY!!!
5952229 SCIENCE!!!
P.S. Don't even ask for the relevance. XD
6297957 1. That's a kick. 2. It's from anti-rairity. That means she did the opposite of what she wanted to do. 3. IT IS A KICK
