> Diamond Tiara Likes Dating Sims > by Mattricole > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Diamond Tiara Likes Dating Sims > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful spring morning on Goloposistic Island. The wind blew across the land, carrying the salty smell of the sea with it. I looked across the pier at the rising sun, casting a majestic glow on the sea's surface. Here, I wait for my love, Kirino Akasaki. "Diamond-Kuuuun!" I hear an angelic voice call my name from behind, her tender hooves clicking across the wooden planks. I turn to my love, with a tender smile. "Kirino-chan, you made it!" I said happily as she came to a stop before me, a gentle smile adorning her face. She was a cute, yellow mare with a pink mane, stylized in a bun, with white freckles adorning her cheeks. "Of course, I'd never miss a d-date with you Diamond-kun," she replied as she kicked at the ground, her cute freckles unable to cover the blush that currently adorned her face. >Let's hurry up and eat already, I'm starving! >Never huh? Tch, creepy. >I'm glad, to go a day without seeing you would break my heart. I glanced at the choices laid before me. It was clear the first two would lead me down the bad ending, while the last would lead me to the good ending. I hovered my mouse over the third choice- RRRRIIIIIING "Gah!" I couldn't help but yelp as my alarm clock rang loudly. I looked over at my alarm clock, a simple alarm clock decorated with diamonds, nothing special, and saw it was seven o' clock. I groaned to myself as I rubbed my eyes, and turned back to my game. "Diamond-kuuuun!" Kirino whined, "that's not nice! I-I'm not creepy!" wait, what!? "A-am I?" she asked, tears threatening to spill, what happened!? I checked my log, and found I accidentally clicked on choice number two. "Oh you gotta be kidding me!" I growled in frustration. Now I have to go back to my last save point, which was an hour ago! Stupid alarm clock. I groan to myself and shut the game and my computer off, and trudge out of my room. I knew I should have saved earlier, why didn't I save earlier!? I'm gonna make one of the maids work overtime for this! I groaned as my stomach began to growl, I really should get something to eat. I scratched my head in thought, and felt my mane, which felt all tangled from not being brushed since yesterday. Let's see, do I want to go downstairs into the kitchen, or use the bathroom? >Go downstairs, I'm hungry! >Use the bathroom, my hair is a mess! ...What the!? I close my eyes and shake my head, why is there text in front of me!? After opening my eyes the text are still there! It's like I'm still playing a dating sim! Am I dreaming? Am I hallucinating? Am I going crazy!? If this is like a dating sim, maybe it'll go away if I select a choice? Taking a couple of deep breaths, I close my mind, and think of which route I want to take. On one hoof, I could go downstairs and eat and talk with daddy, but then I'd have to go all the way back upstairs to use the bathroom, on the other hoof, I could just use the bathroom now, but that would take away time to talk to daddy, since he leaves for work in a few minutes. >Go downstairs, I'm hungry! I chose to go downstairs to eat, and spend some time with daddy. We hardly see each other anymore, since he's always so busy. I go down the stairs, and enter the kitchen. It was like any other kitchen, nothing special. We had three refrigerators, each having a different use, a kitchen sink, a wall dedicated to cupboards for storing plates, another wall with cupboards for my personal diamond encrusted plates, and a flat screen eighty inch HD television set. Nothing really extraordinary. "Good morning Diamond," Daddy says as he takes a drink from his cup of coffee, sipping slowly so he doesn't burn his tongue. >Good morning Daddy >Mhm >*hugs* I love you Daddy! ANOTHER CHOICE!? I had to bite my tongue just to not yelp in surprise. What the hay is going on!? Damn it, I need to think quick before Daddy questions my lack of an answer! Think Diamond, think! >*hugs* I love you Daddy! I chose the last choice, and hugged Daddy tighter than ever before. "I love you Daddy," I told him as I nuzzled his neck, and felt a strange wetness stain my cheek...wait, what? "Oh Diamond!" Daddy squeals as he hugs me back, nearly breaking my back in the process, "oh I love you too my little Diamond," he starts choking up, tears freely falling as he nuzzles me cheek affectionately. "Daddy, yo-you're hurting me," I managed to squeak out. "Oh, sorry," Daddy said as he let me go, "I-I guess I was just overcome there for a second," he said with a sniffle, rubbing a tear out of his eye, "I'm going to go to work now, the companies not gonna run itself you know," he said with a smile and leaned down and kissed my cheek, "goodbye my little Diamond," he said affectionately, leaving the kitchen and out the front door. I sighed to myself, do I really come off that apathetic? It's like he could hardly believe I said that. What, does he think I hate him or something? Stupid Daddy. Whatever, I'll just eat some- >I'll just have some cereal >Have the maid come in and make me an omelet OH COME ON! Today is not a good day. First of all there's a bunch of text appearing before me every time I have to make a choice, and I didn't get any sleep cause I got too lost in that new dating sim. And today's a school day to boot, so in all honesty I'm just a bit snappy today. "Hey DT, you alright?" Silver Spoon asked me AGAIN! Ever since we met up and began walking to school she's been asking the same thing over and over again. I already told her I'm fine, but if she won't listen! I swear I'm gonna- >I'm fine Silver Spoon >Oh will you shut up already!? >You look great! Are those new glasses you're wearing? OH COME O-wait, new glasses? I glance over at Silver Spoon, and as a matter of fact, those do look like new glasses. I mean, they look the same, but well, newer. I smiled as I knew what choice I wanted to pick. >You look great! Are those new glasses you're wearing "You know Silver Spoon, something's different about you," I pointed out, getting an odd look from her. "Th-there is," she said with a smile, I guess they are new glasses. "Yeah, you look even more amazing than ever!" I nearly shouted, drawing the attention of other ponies in the vicinity, causing her to blush. "Oh, thanks, you really think so DT?" she gushed, clearly liking the attention I was giving her. "Yeah, and are those new glasses? Cause they look fabulous on you," I told her, causing her to squeal. "Yes, they are!" she clapped her hooves together giddily, "I'm so glad you noticed! Thank's DT!" she cheerily walked beside me, dropping her annoying questioning for now. Maybe these choices aren't so bad after all? > Diamond Tiara Likes Triggering Flags > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It wasn't long after that me and Silver Spoon finally arrived at school. We had a few minutes until school started, when I saw those stupid blank flanks, the Cutie Mark Losers. I gave Silver Spoon my signature smirk, and she nodded in response, a similar smirk adorning her face. We began walking up to them, and was finally close to hearing their stupid little conversation. "And after that, we'll show Rainbow Dash our awesome new cutie marks!" the stupid dodo bird, Scootaloo in case you didn't know, said with a grin, her wings buzzing with excitement. I couldn't help but groan, is she, like, in love with her or something. Apparently she heard my groan, since she quickly turned around with a glare, "what, you got a problem!?" wow, she really get's riled up easily. "Don't you think it's pathetic?" I asked her with a smile. "What's pathetic?" she growled back, like a deranged dog. Someone needs to put this mutt down. "You try and you try, day in and day out, to get your cutie marks," I said as I walked closer to her, until I was only about a foot away, "and what do you have to show for it?" I asked with a smirk, "nothing, just like how you'll never have more than nothing on your stupid blank flank!" I giggled, causing her glare to harden. Oh this was just way to easy. That wasn't even a good insult and yet she acts like I said her dad died of stupidity. "Oh yeah!?" she yelled back, shoving her face right next to mine, "well it's better than having a talent for wearing a hat!" oh no she didn't! That stupid little blank flank did not just say that! My cutie mark is my ability to craft diamond's into jewelry you stupid chicken! >*punch her in the face* >*provoke her into hitting you so she'd get expelled* >You're cute when you're mad Oh I like that second...wait, what was that last o-OH MY SWEET CELESTIA! W-why would I say that!? I blushed at that thought, especially with her face so close. She's not-well, she's not ugly, bu-wait, how would she react? I bit my cheek to prevent myself from grinning, that might actually be a good idea. >You're cute when you're mad Grabbing her hoof with mine, I brought her just a little bit closer. "H-hey, what are you-" "You know Scootaloo," I said sweetly, gathering everypony's attention, especially her's, "have I ever told you how cute you are when you're mad?" I said with a smile, causing Scootaloo to blush madly, her mouth trying and failing to say a proper response. "I-uh, wh-wh, uh," she stammered repeatedly, her puny little brain unable to come up with a retort. She wasn't the only one. Everypony, even her friends, mouths were agape as they witnessed my amazing charm! Even Silver Spoon was having trouble grasping the situation. I couldn't blame them, I am far more mature than them after all. "You are so cute," I said softly, leaning my face into her's, "I could just-" RRRRRIIIIINNG! "School's here gotta run!" Scootaloo ran off into the classroom, blazing past everypony, desperate to get away from me. I couldn't help but laugh as I looked towards her friends, who were glaring at me. "What, jealous?" I asked with a grin, earning a scowl from Apple Doom and Sweaty Belle, but both walked past me and walked into the school, "ugh, what losers, right Silver Spoon," I turned to my friend, who was scowling for some reason. Why's she so upset, I was just messing around! "I-I can't believe-ARGH!" she grunted and walked away. What's her problem now!? I was about to yell out for her, until I saw Miss Cheerilee glaring from the window. Oh great, looks like it'll be awhile before I can talk to Silver Spoon. Another boring day at school, shocking. Really, do I actually need to know where the Griffon Empire is? I mean, it's not like they buy Daddy's products so why should I care? Whatever, it's not like I'm actually listening to a word Miss Cheerilee says, she's just soooo boring. "Now everypony, I'd like you to split up into groups of two, and work together on your homework, since we got done earlier than expected," she said with a grin. Oh thank Celestia, now me and Silver Spoon can- WHAM! What the!? I look up to see Apple Doom glaring at me, with her book on top of my desk! Who does she think she is!? "We need ta talk," she scowled at me, oh great, she must still be mad at what I did to her stupid friend. "That's great and all," I replied to her with the up most dignity, "but I'm working with Silver Spoon!" and for some reason Apple Doom smirks at me, smirks!!! Who does she think she is!? Does she think she's better than me? Oh this hick is asking for it big time. "Ah don't think Silver Spoon's gonna wanna work with ya fer a while," she said as she pointed behind me. Having no idea what she was talking about I turn around and-WHY IS SILVER SPOON WORKING WITH ALULA!? "Seems yer friend doesn't wanna work with ya," oh that condescending tone of hers is begging for me to punch her, isn't it? "So ah guess yer stuck with me," I turned around to see that blank flank sit in her chair that she set up across from me. "Let's just get this over with," I swear if I have to deal with this country bumpkin for more than five minutes I am going to kill her. "No, cause like ah said we need ta talk," Apple Doom said as she stopped me from picking up my pencil, oh I'm never going to get this homework done am I? Then again, I could always get one of the maids to do it for me...oh well, guess I can listen to the hick for a few seconds. "Alright, fine, what do you want?" I asked pleasantly, though from the look on her face she heard it differently. Yeah, keep glaring like that and I'll make sure to give you a reason to glare. "Ah wanna know why ya'll hit on Scoots like that," yeah and I wanna know when you're going to get your hoof out of my face, it smells like sweat. Wait, is she jealous? "What? Are you afraid I'll steal your marefriend from you?" I asked her, though she just kept on glaring at me, not even a hint of a blush. Well, guess she's not jealous. "Ya'll stay away from mah friends if ya know what's good fer ya," she said quietly, glaring right in my face. Ugh, I can smell her breath and let me tell you, it's none to pleasant. >Get your face out of my face before I make you >Alright, fine, I'll leave her alone >Don't worry, I'll leave your friends alone. I'm much more interested in you. As much as I'd love to punch her face in, I'd get suspended pronto, and then I'll be grounded. As for the second, as if I'll give into her demands! Who does she think she is to boss me around!? I'm better than her, prettier than her, and...WHY IS THERE ALWAYS ONE CHOICE WHERE I HIT ON SOMEPONY!? Argh, whatever, fine! Maybe I can have some fun with this at least. >Don't worry, I'll leave your friends alone. I'm much more interested in you. "Don't worry Apple Bloom," I said sweetly as I grabbed her hoof in mine. "Wha-what are ya'll doing?" she asked, pulling her head back, but not her hoof. Oh don't tell me she actually...oh this is going to be good. "I'll leave your friends alone," I said as I pulled her closer, bringing her face back towards mine, "I'm much more interested in you," our noses were touching, causing her to blush. "Wh-what da ya'll mean?" oh Apple Bloom, so ignorant and naive. "What do you think I mean?" I asked back, tilting my head just enough so our lips were just barely touching, moving my head just enough so our lips would periodically brush together. Oh her face was so red! I hate to say it, but...it was kind of cute actually. I felt my own face burning from just thinking that! "A-ah don't know?" her ears tilted back as she said that, oh she was just too adorable! I couldn't help but giggle at her antics. "If you don't know, maybe I should show you?" I brought my face closer to hers, our mouths- "Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom stop that this once!" holy crap that scared me! I backed away from Apple Bloom, nearly falling out of my chair in the process, to find Miss Cheerilee glaring at us! Oh crap don't tell me I did that in front of the entire class? I looked around and sure enough, everypony was gaping at the two of us, well, except Sweetie Belle, she was off in her own little world. And Silver Spoon, oh no she was glaring at me! "I realize you two are growing up," I turned around to see Miss Cheerilee still glaring, "but please understand that there is a time and place for everything, and this is neither the time nor place," at that the entire class giggled, causing Apple Bloom to blush and duck her head under the table. To be fair, I wanted to disappear too. I can't believe I did that in class! Now everyponies going to think I like Apple Bloom! After getting a scolding me and Apple Bloom got back to work, silently working by ourselves. And for some reason...I-I couldn't get the thought of her lips out of my head. Class was finally over, and I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to Silver Spoon all day, she's been avoiding me as if I was the plague. What did I do to make her mad!? Well, since Silver Spoon apparently didn't wanna walk home with me, seeing as how she already left, I decided to just go home. I started to walk through the park on my way home, when I heard something in the distance, but I couldn't make it...is that singing? It sounded like singing. And it was beautiful. I've never heard such an angelic voice in all of my life, and I've been to plenty of performances. I had to know who was singing. I walked towards where the voice was coming from, behind a bush. I walked around the bush and-IS THAT SWEATY BELLE!? It was! I didn't know she could sing, weird. But, it was lovely... >Quit screeching, it's hurting my ears! >Walk away and ignore. >That was beautiful! It really was the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, I could listen to it all day, but, this is Sweetie Belle! If I started being nice to her, then my reputation wou-oh wait, my reputation is already destroyed back at school, since I almost kissed Apple Bloom. >That was beautiful! "That was beautiful, where did you learn to sing like that?" I asked her, causing her to whip around, her face burning red. "Diamond Tiara!?" she panicked as she backed away from me, "what are you..." she trailed off, her head tilted in confusion, "di-did you say my song was...beautiful?" she barely managed to squeak out, smiling softly at me. ...Oh wow I think I'm going to die. I can literally hear my heart beating like a drum! "Y-yeah, uh, I m-mean-" I grunted to myself, there is no way she's going to see Diamond Dazzle Tiara gushing like a little school filly! "i-it was," oh come on, get it together Diamond! I can feel my blood rushing to my face, I couldn't even bring myself to look her in the face anymore. "Thank you," she said sweetly. I took a quick glance and saw her playing with the dirt with her hoof, unable to look me in the eyes either. "I-I'm going to go home now," this was getting way to awkward for me, so I just start to slowly walk away. "Um, bye Diamond," Sweetie Belle waved shyly to me, oh, why is her blushing face so cute!? I waved back, and made my way home. Usually at 9 O'clock pm, I would be playing my dating sims, but all I want to do is go to bed. Today...I have no idea if today sucked or not to be honest. I got to mess with the chicken, Silver Spoon is mad at me, my reputation is ruined because I almost kissed Apple Bloom, and I learned Sweetie Belle is adorab-GREAT SINGER! That's what I meant, yeah, totally. Ugh, well, at least it's over. I close my eyes as I tuck myself into bed. Hopefully tomorrow will turn out better. Diamond Tiara I'm...tired...go...away. Four fates rest in your hooves What...ever. Four hearts rest in your hooves Shut...up. Choose well at that darkness finally whisks me away into sweet dreamland. > Decisions Decisions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Diamond darling, are you okay?" my daddy asks me as I continue chewing my cereal. "Meh," I'm too tired to give a real response. For some reason I couldn't get any real sleep last night. It sucked, but whatever, at least it's Saturday. If you're wondering why the best filly in all of Equestria isn't sleeping in on a Saturday, that's because for some stupid reason daddy believes one should always wake up early. Ugh, can't wait till I move out, then at least I can sleep for as long as I want! "Mmm, I see," daddy says with a smile, "so, any plans for my darling little Diamond?" he asks as he looks through his newspaper. "Meh," I don't know! Let me think geez! I don't really feel like doing anything today, I just want to sleep in. But if I do daddy would use that stupid marker of his and draw on my face like a two year old! And I will not let anypony, not even daddy, defile my beautiful face! ...But I guess that doesn't really give me anything to do, I don't even feel like playing my dating sims today, with all those weird choices popping up in my head every so often. Strangely enough, I haven't seen any since yesterday. Heh, figures when I need them most they just up and disa- >Go to the video game store! >Let's get some ice cream! >Visit cousin Screwball HAH! As if I would visit my cousin Screwball! That pony's crazy! One time, she thought she was my mother, and tried to bottle feed me! Ergh, I swear one of these days she's going to cause me a heart attack. Anyways, though I love me a chocolate milkshake now and again, it's way to early for that, and it would ruin my perfect figure, and what kind of pony would I be if I deprived this world of the only pony with a perfect figure? Fleur de Lis has nothing on me. >Go to the video game store! So I guess video game store it is. Maybe I'll be able to get that new game, The Last of Ponies, oh man, that game looks good! I get up from my seat and begin to walk to the door, "bye daddy, I'm going out!" I yelled out as I opened the front door. "Diamond Tiara!" whoa he sounded mad, "aren't you forgetting something?" he asks as he stands by the kitchen entrance, starring at me expectantly. Oh geez you have to be kidding. "Sorry," I said as I walked up to him, causing him to lean down, and gave him a peck on the cheek, "bye dad," ugh, what a sappy person. "bye darling, I love you!" I GET IT! "Love you too daddy," I grunted as I quickly got out of there, ugh, man, he can be so sappy sometimes! Thankfully he'll be gone by the time I get home! ...I forgot my purse didn't I? "It's beautiful," I sighed as I stared at what must have been hundreds, if not thousands of video games adorning the shelves. This is truly the greatest place in the world. New games, used games, pc games, and console games! They have it all! Oh, video games, you truly are the greatest invention since the hairbrush, the only thing better than video games is me, but you all know that. I head off towards the new games, hopefully I can find a copy of The Last of Ponies. Thankfully since the store employee's seen my dad buy me rated M games, they already know I'm allowed to play them, so purchasing is no problem. The problem is if they have any in stock, surely a game that got perfect scores across the board would be- And there it is...with at least ten copies. WELL, I guess waking up early really does have it's benefits after all! I grab a copy of the game and head towards the cash register. "Hey hey hey DT, how's it going!?" the stallion behind the counter greeted, his name's like, Sebastian or something, can't remember. "I'm alright, just wanted to get this new game," I said as I handed over the game and grabbed the bits out of my purse. He smiled at me and scanned the game. "Now are you seventeen or older?" he asked with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him. "Of course I am," I replied with a smile, causing his grin to widen. "I thought so," he said as he took my money and handed me the game with receipt, "make sure to return it if it's broken or anything!" he shouted as I walked away. "I know, I know," I said as I finally left the store. Sebastian is an alright pony, but I have better things to do right now, like playing my new game! I wonder if Silver Spoon would want to... Oh, that's right. Silver Spoon's still mad at me. She got mad at me around the time I flirted with Scootaloo, that stupid chicken! Ugh, it's all her fault! ...But that blush of hers was awfully cute. UGH! Why should I care!? Whatever, I'll just go home! As I start my trek home I pass by the various stands of the local farmers, trying to sell their produce to customers. Heh, I even see Miss Applejack smiling and waving. Maybe I'll buy an apple? Apples are sweet after all, and delicious, like Apple Bloo- NO! I did not just think that! Oh, why am I thinking of that kiss now!? It didn't effect me that much, did it!? No, it didn't! I need to get home, fast, before anything else happens! I quickly trot out of that Celestia forsaken market, oh I can't wait to get home! I'll play my game and forget all about these stup-is that singing I hear? I look to my left and find Sweetie Belle walking towards the market, a purse hanging off her shoulder. I guess she's going shopping. She looks my way and suddenly stops singing, looking around nervously and trots into the market, completely silent. I guess she didn't realize she was singing. Why did she care? She has a beautiful voice, like an angel AH! Why is everypony suddenly coming into my head!? I didn't do anything wrong! ...Right? I mean, I was just having a little bit of fun. Why should I apologize to Silver Spoon, or talk to any of those stupid Cutie Mark Whatever they are? I don't have to do any- >Go to Silver Spoon's house >Go to the park to find Scootaloo >Go to Sweet Apple Acre's >Go back into the market and find Sweetie Belle >Go home and play video games! Ugh, I'm tempted to pick that last one honestly. I shouldn't have to pick any of these honestly, but...I sighed to myself as I looked at my options. Might as well choose one, I mean, what harm could it do? So I guess I choose... > Bad End? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Go home and play video games! Bah, forget it! Why should I have to waste my day off apologizing for nothing, or hanging out with one of those losers!? It would be a complete waste of my valuable time that I could be using spending time on my new video game! And isn't that what life is about? Of course it is, what was the point of even asking? With that in mind, It takes me only a few minutes to get home. "I'm home!" I yell out, not expecting a response. "Welcome home Miss Tiara," what the? I look to my left and see one of the maids standing there with a smile, "would you like me to do anything for you?" she asked sweetly, ugh, I swear she's just trying to be annoying. "No, I don't" I spat out, "I'll be in my room, don't bother me," I tell her as I walk up the stairs. "Very well Miss Tiara, if you need anything I'll be here," she said as she stood by the steps. I'll just ignore her, not like it matters, I have more important things to take care of. I go into my room and towards my television. "This is going to be the best game ever," I say to myself as I insert it in my Ponystation 3. "Miss Tiara," ARGH! What is that stupid maids problem!? How dare she enter MY room without MY permission!? I turn to glare at her stupid smiling face. "What!?" I yell at her still smiling face. Stupid mare. "I just thought you would like to have a drink," she says smugly...okay, it wasn't smug, but it still ticked me off! She hands me a glass of...lemonade? Ooh, I love lemonade! I guess she's not so stupid after all. "Thanks," I said as I take the glass from her. I quickly gulp it down and hand the glass back to her, "okay, now ge...t" why...am I.....so.........sl................ "Goodnight Miss Tiara," scr......ew........................you. My head...hurts. Why am I so...sleepy? Ugh, I can't...why are my legs tied to the four corners of my...oh crap. "Good morning Miss Tiara," I turn my head best I can to get a look at the maid. "W-what do you want from me!?" oh crap this isn't good! "Oh Miss Tiara," she said with a vicious grin, "don't worry, I won't harm you," you're darn right you won't! When my daddy finds out about this you are so dead! "Let me go now!" I yell at her, she's the maid she has to do what I say! But that stupid grin of hers doesn't leave. "It has come to my attention Miss Tiara," she starts caressing my cheek...oh please tell me she's not going to, oh no, "that you have been failing math recently," she's going to...wait what? "M-math?" "And as your maid, it is my duty to ensure you don't fail," she said with a grin, "so I'm going to educate you," she says as she takes out a book, well that's not so...WAIT WHAT! "But it's my day off!" how could she do this!? "YOU BETTER LET ME GO NOW!" "Now let's begin," sh-she's opening the book! "geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures-" NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You seem to have met with a terrible fate, perhaps if you had made different decisions you would have been saved. Good luck next time. > Silver Etiquette > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Go to Silver Spoon's house I can't just leave things the way they are with Silver Spoon, she's my best friend in the whole wide world. I don't know what her problem is, but it's my responsibility to find out, that's what best friends are for! Now that that's settled, I place my game in mypurse and make my way to Silver Spoon's house, which is actually not that far from my own. After a couple of minutes of walking I finally make it to Silver Spoon's house. I climb up the steps leading to her front door and knock a couple of times, after all, a lady must be polite at all times. "Coming!" someone sings as they make their way to the door. After a few seconds the door is opened by none other than Silver Spoon's mom, Minuette, the resident dentist. "Diamond Tiara! Oh my how you’ve grown," she says as she pets my hair. Smile and bear it DT, smile and bear it, "are you here to see my cute little baby?" I nod while trying to maintain my smile, she's almost as bad as my mom. "Oh goodie, my sweet little Spoony Woonie has been sooooo upset lately, come in come in!" Don't have to tell me twice. "Thanks Mrs. Minuette," I say smiling as I quickly head towards Silver Spoon's bedroom, gotta be quick about this before- "Oh and be sure to come by my office!" Crap. "I saw your teeth young lady! Gotta clean those up! On the house of course!" I swear this trip better be worth it. Whatever, it only takes me a few seconds to find Silver Spoon's room. She has her door, which is decorated with pictures of the both of us hanging out, closed, with a "do not disturb" sign on it. I can't help but groan at that, she only does that when she's still upset. Seriously it's been, like, a day already, get over it! Whatever, I knock on the door, loud enough for her to hear it. "Leave me alone mom," I hear Silver Spoon moaning behind the door, ugh, drama queen. "Silver Spoon, it's me-" "Diamond Tiara!" Holy crap! Is she trying to give me a heart attack!? Seriously I wouldn't be surprised if she ripped the door off of it's hinges. And now she's glaring at me, "oh, I mean, Diamond Tiara, what do you want?" "I... wanted to see if you wanted to hang out?" She's being really bipolar right now, it's kinda freaky to be honest. However Silver Spoon just continues to glare at me, adjusting her glasses as she does so. Kinda looks like one of those teachers in my dating sims actually. "Oh, really?" I don't like that tone Silver Spoon, "I would have figured you wanted to hang with Scootaloo or something," she pouts as she turns away. "Oh come on," I come inside and wrap a hoof over her shoulder, "why would I hang out with her when I can hang out with you?" I say smiling at her. She turns her head away with a scoff, oh come on, how can I cheer her up if- >Get over it Silver Spoon! . >Let's go to the ice cream store! >I just want to see you smile. what is with that last one!? That's so... I mean... WHAT!? Oh why do I have to say that? Oh why? I can't say the first one, that would just make her madder! And I am not going to the ice cream store, it'll ruin my figure! Please, just give me one more- >*punch her in the face* ...Fine, I get it. >I just want to see you smile. "Silver Spoon I-I..." Oh I can't believe I'm going to say this. Silver Spoon turns to me with a glare. "You what?" she asks with a glare. "I...I just want to see you smile," oh I can't believe I just said that. "W-what?" she turns her head away, but I can tell she's blushing, "w-what are you talking about DT? Don't say such embarrassing things!" I see that smile Silver Spoon, I see it. "Oh, come now," I whisper in her ear as I grasp her chin in my hoof and turn her head towards me, so she is looking directly into my eyes, "let's go out and have some fun, we can do anything you want," I tell her with a smile. Though this usually means we go to the library to study, which is totally boring, but if it puts Silver Spoon in a good mood, then whatever. "A-anything?" she asks with a cute blush. "Anything," I reply while nodding my head. She turns her head away once more, this time muttering to herself. Even with how close I am to her I can't quite hear her. Huh, that's weird. Silver Spoon isn't usually this hesitant to get me to go to the library. "H-hey DT?" she whispers to me, still not looking in my direction. "Yes?" I ask her, giving her a reassuring squeeze. What's she so nervous about? Silver Spoon turns towards me, and takes a deep breathe. "I-I want to go to the ice cream store." "WHAT!?" Oh you gotta be kidding me! It's way too early for ice cream, it'll ruin my figure! "Silver Spoon it's way too early for-" "Please?" Oh no, she's giving me those, ergh, puppy dog eyes. She knows I can't resist those! "Ugh, fine!" I can't believe we're doing this, I turn and walk out the door, "oh, if I get fat I am going to kill you," I mutter as I hear her starting to follow me. "Thanks DT," I hear her sing as she practically skips behind me. I sigh to myself as we trudge towards the ice cream store. I have got to stop being so nice. Well, we finally made it to the ice cream store, which is currently packed with customers of all ages. Seriously, I think I see Snips and Snails over there. And they're sitting pretty close to each other. And I'm pretty sure they're sharing an ice cream cone. And they're licking it at the same... yeah I think I'm going to delete that from my memory. Not even five minutes and I already wanna go home. I figured if we ordered something small, we could get home quicker, so I ordered a small vanilla ice cream cone. But of course Silver Spoon had to get the biggest thing they had. "Mmm, I love banana split sundaes," she moans to herself as she takes another spoonful of her treat. Ugh, the thing was already expensive enough, but did you really have to get the boat shaped bowl? I mean it's made of cheap plastic and you're just going to throw it away anyways, so what's the point? "Mmm hmm," I agree. I finally finish my vanilla ice cream cone, it was alright, while Silver Spoon isn’t even close to finishing her treat. "So, where do you wanna go next?" I ask her, just to pass time. The only thing going on here is getting a good view of Snips and Snail's homo erotic ice cream eating, and in all honesty watching that makes me want to kill myself. "Hmm, I don't know," she says as she puts another spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. Aw gross, a little bit of it is dripping from her mouth! And I'm pretty sure she hasn't noticed it yet, ew, Silver Spoon, I love you and all, but you need to watch your mann- >Tell her about the ice cream dripping from her mouth. >laugh at her. >Wipe it off with your hoof, and then bring it to your mouth. EEEWWWW! Why would I-I, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? That's the most disgusting, EW! That is, like, so unsanitary. What kind of messed up weirdo do you have to be to do that!? >Tell her about the ice cream dripping from her mouth. "Hey Silver Spoon," I call out, causing her to look at me, "you have something on your mouth," I tell her, pointing at my own for clarification. "I do?" she then takes a napkin and wipes at her mouth, completely missing the ice cream, "did I get it?" Oh you've got to be kidding me. "A little to your left." That's right Silver Spoon. "No, your other left." "But I only have one left." OH COME ON! "Ugh, here!" I yell out as I take my hoof and wipe the ice cream off her mouth, bringing it to my mouth by instinct. >Tell her about the ice cream dripping from her mouth. >Wipe it off with your hoof, and then bring it to your mouth. ...Oh you have got to be kidding me. Silver Spoon's blushing like mad, staring at her sundae as she twiddles her hooves. I can't believe I did that! Am I some kind of pervert!? "Th-thanks." Though I gotta admit, she is awfully cute when she does that. But, even if that's the case, I shouldn't have done that! "No problem, I'd do anything for you Silver Spoon." All I can do right now is down play it, make it seem like I was just helping out a friend. Purely...uh, what's that word? Platoon? Platatic? Oh boy, I really should listen to Silver Spoon's big words more often. "So, what do you wanna do now?" Silver Spoon finally looks up, finally finished with her sundae. Tch, took her long enough. I put a hoof to my chin, trying to think of something. Honestly, I can’t think of a thing to do, except play video games, but I don't think Silver Spoon's in the mood to just watch me play while having nothing else to do. >Go to Silver Spoon's house >Go to Silver Spoon's house >Go to Silver Spoon's house Oh gee! I wonder which one I'll-DON'T GIVE ME A CHOICE IF IT'S ALL THE SAME THINGS! >Go to Silver Spoon's house Whatever, I don't care anymore. "How about we go to your place," I ask. "M-my place!?" she squeaks out with a blush... okay, that's not weird. What's her problem now? "Uh, yeah. Is that a problem?" Seriously, I've been over your place a bunch of times, what's the big deal now? "N-no, it's just... just," she starts twiddling her hooves again, looking around with that blush on her cheeks, "I-I guess we could go to my place," she says as she gets up from her seat. I quickly get up after her and follow her out the exit. "Great, so what are we going to do first?" Hopefully she's in the mood to watch some anime, there's a new episode of Neighruto that's going to be streaming in about an hour. I hear her sighing as she turns her head to look back at me. "I-I think I got something in mind," she says as she turns to look ahead, "and I'm pretty sure you're going to like it." Ha, I knew it! We are watching Neighruto! "Oh trust me Silver Spoon," I reply happily, "I know I'm going to love it!" "So, what is it you wanted to do?" I ask as I enter Silver Spoon's room. It's a rather large room, though nothing compared to mine. All of her stuff is in one of the corners, her bed and dresser in the bottom left corner, next to the door, her computer desk in another, then her book shelf in the third corner, and the last corner is her work desk. Very. Bland. "Hold on a second," she says with a smile, as she goes to her closet. Huh, wonder what she's got in there? Whatever, I quickly jump onto her bed, laying down on her comfy sheets. It feels great on my back, since I've been walking around all day. "Take your time," I say as I snuggle into the sheets. "Found them," she says happily as she turns around with a hoofful of... candles? "O-oh, that was... quick," she says with a blush. "Quick?" What is she talking about? She walks towards me with a blush, setting the two candles on top of her dressers, lighting them with a nearby match. She then flicks her lights off, engulfing the room in beautiful candle light. "N-never mind that," she says as she climbs on top of the bed, laying next to me, "c-can you... lay down on your back?" she asks, panting a little bit... ooooookay. "Sure, I guess?" Not gonna lie, starting to get a little uncomfortable here. I do as I'm told, and lay down on my back. "Yeah, just like that," Silver Spoon says as she drapes a hoof over my body, clinging to me as she stares down at me, her face lightened by the nearby candles giving her a an almost regal look. "W-what are yo-" She interrupts me by placing her hoof gently on my lips. "Shh, don't worry DT," she whispers as she removes her hoof, placing her lips gently against mine, "I'll take good care of you," she whispers as she places her lips on mine, planting a soft kiss against my lips. WHAT!? What is she!? Wh-why is she!? WHAT DO I DO!? >*Shove her away* EW GROSS! >Gently push her away and apologize >Open your mouth C-crap! I don't even know how I feel about this!? How was I supposed to know she liked me like that!? Couldn't she have given me a hint or something!? I have to stop this! … Right? I mean... it feels so... nice. I-I don't even know if I want to stop this. W-what do I do now? > Silver Etiquette-Bad End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >*Shove her away* EW GROSS! "EW GET OFF ME!" I yell out as I shove Silver Spoon off of me, causing her to land on the ground. How dare she just kiss me out of no where!? What about my feelings!? "DT, w-what are you doing?" "What am I doing!?" I yell, looking at her tear stricken face, "what do you think you're doing!? How dare you kiss me like that!?" I jump off the bed and quickly go to leave. "DT, wait!" Silver Spoon grabs my hind leg as I go to leave, "I'm sorry!" "Get off me!" I tear my leg away from her, and turn with a glare, "I never want to see your disgusting face ever again!" I leave quickly at that, and hurried on home. She has no right to kiss me like that! What the heck's her problem!? As I rush out of the house, Silver Spoon's sobs keep entering my head, Whatever, who cares I made her cry, it was her fault! It doesn't take me long to get home, since I live so close to Silver Spoon's place. "Hello Miss-" "Leave me alone!" I yell at the maid, causing her to quickly back away. Well, at least somepony knows how to show proper respect! I rush upstairs and into my room. I'm tired, I think I'm just going to go to bed. "I'm sorry." ...What? Who's there? I-is that... Silver Spoon? "I'm sorry," she says with tears streaming down her face, at least, I think there is. It's so dark, and my arms are... WHAT!? M-my arms and legs! Th-they're tied to the corners of my bed! "I'm sorry." "MMPH!" W-what!? My mouth's gagged too!? I try to break free from my bonds, what the heck did she tie me up with!? "I'm sorry," quit saying that and untie me! "MMPH, MMPH!" Mom, dad, HELP ME!!! "I'm sorry," she says again, raising something above her head. I-it's an ax. Where did you get that!? Silver Spoon, please stop! "MMPH!" I cry out in agony, shaking my head, please don't do this Silver Spoon! I'm sorry! "I'm sorry," she says tearfully as she swings the ax down as I finally get the gag out of my mouth. "NOO-" -Bad end > Silver Etiquette-Good End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Gently push her away and apologize I can't do this, it just doesn't feel right. I gently push Silver Spoon away, and sat up with my back resting against her head rest. "DT, what are you doing?" Silver Spoon asked, it looked like she was about to cry. "I'm sorry Silver Spoon, I just can't do this," I just don't like you that way, plus, gotta admit those candles smell really bad. "Oh... I see," she lowers her head, she's not even trying to look me in the face. "I'm sorry Silver Spoon," I put my hoof over her shoulder, I guess it's not her fault, after all, I am the prettiest pony in Equestria. "No, it's okay DT," Silver Spoon replies, while returning my hug, "I'm just glad you don't hate me." "Silver Spoon, I could never hate you, you're my best friend." Only a horrible monster could hate her friend after this. Whoever would hate their friend over something so stupid deserves an ax to the face. "And you're my best friend t-" "Okay, that's enough," I interrupt as I jump off the bed, "this is getting way to sappy," at this rate I'm going to puke. I can hear Silver Spoon grumbling behind me. I'm not surprised, she was always sappy. "Well then, what do you want to do?" Hmm, I don't know. >Pick on Snips and Snails >Stalk Miss Cheerilee >Watch Neighruto on Silver Spoon's computer. All brilliant ideas, but honestly, it's not a tough choice. >Watch Neighruto on Silver Spoon's computer. "Oh, I'm sure you have a pretty good idea," I tell her as I go to her computer and log on. Silver Spoon sighs as she pulls up a chair next to mine. "Neighruto?" she asks with disdain. Don't worry Silver Spoon, you'll learn to love it. "Neighruto," I reply with a smirk. This is going to be the best day ever!!! -Good End > Silver Etiquette-True End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Open your mouth S-she's prodding my mouth with her tongue! A-and she's massaging me with her soft hoo- "Ah," crap I'm moaning! I can feel her tongue entering my mouth, licking my own tongue.... it tastes like butter for some reason. This... this is heaven!!!! I never want this to stop! I start suckling her tongue, her delicious, pink- "Hey girls I made some- " Silver's mom... she's just... staring. Silver Spoon pulls away from me as quick as possible. "This isn't what it looks like!" Well, than this is awkward, cause it looked like we were making out. "We were just... practicing CPR?" Okay, it's not my best excuse but it's better than saying 'it's not what it looks like!' "Yeah, CPR!" Silver Spoon nods her head as she claps her hooves together, "we were practicing CPR... and... " Silver Spoon trails off, while her mom just... looks at us. Honestly, it's kinda creeping me out. "Mrs. Minuette?" I jump off the bed and prod her leg. No response... I think we broke her. "M-mom!" Silver Spoon jumps off the bed and starts shaking her mom, "mom wake up! Please wake up!" Silver Spoon screams as she- DON'T SLAP HER YOU MORON! "Silver Spoon stop slapping her!" I yell out as I stop her from slamming her hoof at her mom's face. You're going to knock her teeth out you idiot! "B-but what are we-" "We'll call an ambulance!" I said slapping the top of her head, "now go downstairs and call for them, I'll stay here and see if she wakes up." "R- right!" she says and quickly runs out of the room and down the stairs. "Ugh, finally." Silver Spoon can be such a pain sometimes. I turn back to Mrs. Minuette, finding the same blank stare from before. I wonder if she's alive? I can hear her breathing, that's a sign of being alive... I think. >Check her pulse >Tap her on the nose >Draw a moustache on her face with a permanent marker. I- I can't! I can't do that to Silver's mom! That's... so... evil. >Draw a moustache on her face with a permanent marker. This is for all those times you drilled into my teeth you sadistic hygiene obsessed lunatic!!! "I said I was sorry Silver Spoon!" Will you just get over it! It was hilarious! "I'm not the one you should be apologizing too!" Is it that big a deal that I drew on your mom's- "you drew a fake moustache on my mom's beautiful face, how could you?!" "She drills into my teeth!" "Maybe if you actually brushed once in awhile-" "I BRUSH ONCE A WEEK!" Great, haven't even dated for a day and already we're fighting. Silver Spoon's just sitting there, glaring at me, and then gags for some reason. "What?" is she okay? "I- I stuck my tongue in your mouth." OH COME ON! "What's that supposed to mean?!" "OH SWEET CELESTIA I STUCK MY TONGUE IN YOUR MOUTH!!!!" QUIT ACTING LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO PUKE!!! "Uh, excuse me," some lame doctor comes out of Mrs. Minuette's room, "your mother is awake now." Finally, seriously who passes out from seeing two fillies making out? "That's great!" Silver Spoon yells out and rushes into her mom's room, shoving the doctor out of her way. "This isn't over with," I glare as I follow her into her mom's room. She should be grateful I allowed her to shove her tongue in my mouth, and feel honored that she was the first. Tch, whatever, hopefully her mom's feeling better, and at least she won't be able to drill into my teeth in the foreseeable future. "Silver Spoon?" I hear her mom mutter, "is that you?" And now she's reaching out for her daughters hoof, seriously? Quit acting like you're dying, it's just sad. "Mom, I'm here for you," Silver Spoon quickly grabs her mom's hoof, with tears in her eyes. "Oh my sweet Silver Spoon, I had the most horrible dream!" Mrs. Minuette says as she caresses Silver's cheek. "O- oh, you did huh?" yeah, nice suspicious smile there Silver Spoon, totally won't give you away, "s- so what was it about?" "Oh, it was horrible!" OH COME ON!!! Is it really that bad that me and Silver are in lo- "I dreamed that you kissed Diamond Tiara's cavity filled teeth!" ... "Oh, I can only imagine what horror you went through! With how bad her teeth are I'd have thought it tasted like sewer waste and rotten toma-" "MY TEETH AREN'T THAT BAD!!!!" "Oh, hello Diamond Tiara!" Don't wave at me as if I heard nothing. Hi," I growl back. "But really Diamond, you really need to get your teeth checked. It's very important for a filly your age-" BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M NOT LISTENING!!! "Anyways, mom I'm really glad you're alright!" thank you Silver Spoon! "Which reminds me," Mrs. Minuette says as she takes a glance around the room, "why am I in a hospital bed?" "Uh, well, you see..." Silver Spoon scratches her head as she looks towards me, "hey DT-" "Well, I better get going!" no way I'm going to explain to Mrs. Minuette that me and Silver Spoon are dating, no way! "Wait DT you can't just-" "After all, daddy must be worried about me!" I say as I hug Silver Spoon tightly. "Diamond you just can't leave me hear," Silver Spoon whispers in my ear, "how am I going to tell her that we're-" "This is what you get for making fun of my teeth," I whisper back as I nuzzle her cheek, "bye Silver Spoon, bye Mrs. Minuette, hope you get better!" I yell out as I quickly flee from the room. "Diamond Dazzle Tiara you get back here and help me explain we're dating!" "YOU TWO ARE WHAT!?" I hear Mrs. Minuette yell out just as I left the room. Good luck Silver Spoon, you're going to need it. -True Ending > Diamond Tiara Likes The Wonderbolts > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Go to the park to find Scootaloo Ugh, I can’t get Scootaloo’s blushing face out of my mind! I don’t know how to explain it. Hmm, maybe it’s because she’s such a tomcolt? Whatever, knowing her she’s probably at the park, playing with her stupid scooter, her mane and tail flowing in the wind, with that cute smirk of her’s adorning her face as she jumps off a ramp and-NO! This is...purely professional. I’m just going to find her, find out what’s wrong with me, and leave. That’s it. With that in mind, I make my to the park, it doesn’t take me long, after all, it’s not like Ponyville is a big town. That’s what I hate most about this stupid town. It’s so small! First of all we only have one video game store, it sucks! What was I doing again? Oh, right, going to the park to find Scootaloo. Finally after another minute or two of walking I arrive at the stupid park. Surprisingly there isn’t a whole lot of ponies around. I see a few, mostly couples having a picnic, but other than that I’m not seeing too many ponies. Well, I guess since I’m here I might as well start looking for Scootaloo, hopefully it won’t take too long to fi- “Woo hoo!” And there she is, playing around on her scooter. Well, she’s as predictable as always. Now I just have to get her attention, but how? >Wait until she’s done. >Yell out at her. >Throw a rock at her. Pft, if I wait until she’s done, I’m going to end up being here all day, and I have better things to do! And why should I have to wait around for this stupid blank flank?! It should be the other way around! I doubt yelling would do anything, she’s having so much fun I doubt I could catch her attention that way, so I guess there’s only one thing I can do. >Throw a rock at her. “This should do,” at least, I think it will. It’s a pretty decent sized rock, and with how thick of a skull that dodo bird has I doubt it will hurt her too much. Now I just have to wait until she’s close enough, and with the right timing I should be able to hit her. Should be easy enough, her moves are way too predictable, I’ll get her when she’s doing one of those mid air jumps. “Whoo hoo!” Perfect I think to myself as I threw the rock, right at her head. It was a direct hit, cracking her hel...I think I made a terrible mistake. Thankfully Scootaloo fell into a pile of mud so her landing was fine. “Who did that?!” Hmm, can’t decide if I should walk away or go over and apologize. “It was you wasn’t it?!” How dare you?! I mean, yeah, I did it but that doesn’t mean you can just accuse me of doing it?! “You should be thanking me loser,” I tell her as she rushes towards me, and get that glare off your face! What gives you the right to glare at me?! I don’t care if it’s...cute…those adorable eyebrows of her knitted together, her teeth clenched together as she stares right at me, her face getting closer until our noses are touching...what was I doing again? “You cracked my helmet! And why should I thank you?!” Despite being covered in mud, your breath smells wonderful! But she does have a point, and I do kinda feel bad. “Alright, fine! I’m sorry I hurt you,” there, that should make her feel bett- “You didn’t hurt me!” Oh come on! “I- I was just surprised!” Yeah, sure. “Well, I figured you’d be fine, with that thick skull of yours.” “What’s that supposed to mean?!” Oh Scootaloo, you’re way too easy to tease! “I don’t have to take this from you, I’m leaving!” Wait, that wasn’t part of the plan! “Hey, wait I said I was sorry!” She’s still walking away, how dare she ignore me?! “I’ll buy you lunch!” Of course, that ought to win over that dull pegasus. “I don’t want your lunch!” she yells back at me, attempting to get her scooter out of the mud. Oh, great job Diamond Tiara, you ruined your chance to get with Scootaloo. Jeez, there has to be a way to get her to spend time with me! >Force her to go out with you. >Beg her. >Stroke her ego. Forcing her won’t work, she has a pretty strong will. And though I hate to admit it, I doubt I could physically force her to come with me. As for begging...no. Just no. Only the weak beg, and if there is one thing I’m not, it’s weak. >Stroke her ego. “Why are you even here in the first place?” Scootaloo turns around and asks me as she gets on her now free scooter. Heh, perfect. I sigh and turn away, scratching at the dirt with my hoof. “Promise not to laugh?” I ask her, in order for this to work just right, I need to play the part. Scootaloo just tilts her head, no doubt confused. What can I say? I am an excellent actor! “Uh, sure?” Hook. Line. Sinker. “I… I just wanted the chance to catch your smooth moves.” “W-what?!” Scootaloo yelps out as she just stares at me with wide eyes. “I mean, you’re just soooo amazing on that scooter of yours!” I walk up to her and wrap a hoof around her shoulder, causing her to blush, “and you look so amazing when you leap over ponies, carts, and everything else!” I give her a gentle hug, causing her to giggle. “Aw, come on! I’m not that great, Rainbow Dash is way cooler.” Whatever you say, I know you’re enjoying the praise. “Yeah, Rainbow Dash is pretty cool.” Isn’t that the really obnoxious mare that doesn’t know how to take a shower? “But in my eyes,” I turn her head towards me, staring directly into her beautiful purple eyes, “you’re totally radical.” And that my friends, seals the deal. “Radical?! Me?!” Scootaloo’s blushing like mad right now! I love making her blush! “W-well if that’s how you feel…” Scootaloo begins as she wraps her tiny wing around my body...wow I can barely feel it. “I guess I can forgive you.” “Great!” now for step two, “but I still feel just awful about hitting you with a rock. Let me make it up to you with lunch, my treat!” I can see her debating with herself, but with the look of her eyes I already know her answer. “Well, I am pretty hungry, sure!” she says as she starts walking away. “Uh, where are you going?” “Oh, I left my wagon by the bench, give me a sec and I’ll attach it to my scooter.” Ooh, she’s going to drive me to lunch? Now that is what I call a gentle...mare? Ugh, I’m not even going to try to figure out what to call her. “And then Spitfire did this totally awesome spiny move, and it was so awesome! And she was all like, “oh, it’s no big deal,” but it totally was!” “Uh huh, great,” I reply, taking another bite out of my strawberry salad. Ever since I bought her food, Scootaloo’s been talking nonstop about the Wonderbolts, it’s starting to get annoying. “And den, Shpitfire did dis awesome-” QUIT TALKING WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL, IT’S DISGUSTING! “...Heh, sorry,” she says after swallowing her food. Must have seen the glare on my face. Or she can read minds, really hope it’s the former. “No, it’s alright,” I say, trying to be as sweet as possible, “please, go on.” I say with a twirl of my hoof. “Oh, well, like I was saying…” Um, yeah, go on. After a few seconds she starts chuckling, rubbing the back of her neck with her hoof, “...Uh, I kinda forgot what I was talking about.” Oh come on! Even you can’t be that simple minded! “You were talking about the Wonderbolts, remember?” Ugh, what a dodo brain. “Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot.” Yeah, I kinda figured. “But man, what I wouldn’t do to go to a Wonderbolts show! It’d be the second greatest thing ever!” Wait, second? “Well, what’s the first greatest thing ever then?” I ask, causing Scootaloo to scoff. “Uh, seeing Rainbow Dash become a Wonderbolt of course!” Scootaloo, I’m going to be honest, this obsession of yours, not healthy. At all. “So, I’m guessing the only times you saw them was on Television?” “Yeah, which really sucks!” she takes a big gulp of her soda, and sighs, “man, what I wouldn’t give to go to a live show, it would be amazing!” Wow, she looks totally spaced out right now. I wonder if I she’d notice if I try to draw on her face? She’d look fantastic with a fake moustache! >Draw a fake moustache on her while she’s distracted >Quietly pay for the bill and leave >Invite her to go to the Wonderbolts show. Well, leaving her like this wouldn’t be much fun, especially if I pay the bill. I mean, I could leave without paying the bill, and have her hoof over the bits, but I doubt she has enough bits to pay for her own food, let alone both our meals. Besides, I already said I would pay for her meal, and Diamond Dazzle Tiara does not break her word...most of the time. As for the Wonderbolt’s show, puh-lease! I’m pretty sure those shows are exclusive to Cloudsdale, and there is no way I’m plummeting to my death for her sake. So, that means there is only one thing left to do. >Draw a fake moustache on her while she’s distracted Luckily I always bring with me a permanent marker in my purse, just for this kind of occasion. Most ponies would be surprised how often I get the chance to draw moustaches on other pony’s faces. I even got Miss Cheerilee once! Let’s see…a loop there and a loop...THERE! Perfect, she looks just like one of those cliche villains on television! “Hey Scoots, you done daydreaming?” I ask after putting away my marker. “Huh, what?” Oh Scootaloo, you poor, simple minded foal. “Oh yeah, sorry,” she shrugs off with a laugh. “Well, it’s been fun Scootaloo, but I gotta get going,” I tell her as I lay the bits on the table, and begin to leave. “Yeah, you know, you’re actually pretty cool Diamond Tiara.” Well duh! I can’t believe it took you this long to figure that out. “Daddy, I’m home!” I call out. Well, I didn’t hear any reply, so I guess he’s still at work. Oh well, I’ll just watch a little bit of television. With that in mind, I sit down on the couch and turn on our television. I do a little bit of channel surfing, doesn’t look like anything interesting is on. Grr, come on! This is why I use the internet! There is always something on the internet, that’s why it’s the internet! Whatever, I’ll just- hello? What’s this? It looks like a Wonderbolts commercial. Honestly, it looks so boring, who would want to watch a bunch of lame...pegasus’s? Pegasasses? Pega...WHATEVER THE PLURAL IS! It’s still totally boring! ...Still, Scootaloo looked like she really wanted to go. I guess I could buy her a ticket, but then I wouldn’t get to go with her. And how could I deprive her the honor of escorting me to a Wonderbolts show? Yes, I can be a bit mean sometimes but I’m not a monster! With a one day showing in Ponyville! Wait, what? There’s going to be a showing in Ponyville? Why? Huh, apparently it’s something to honor the “Elements of Harmony”. Hmm, looks like it’s going to be a month from now, I’m guessing so they can be build a small stadium, or something. I wonder if Mr. McIntosh will help build the stadium? With how big and strong he is he could probably do it by himself… whatever. Time to go play my game! >Don’t buy two tickets for the Wonderbolts show. >Make Scootaloo lunch for tomorrow. >Buy two tickets for the Wonderbolts show! ...Oh yeah! I forgot Scootaloo likes the Wonderbolts so much. Still, those tickets are expensive. If I bought two tickets than I’d only be able to buy 3 brand new games this week, and that would suck! It would be just be cheaper to make her lunch instead, even though I’m not much of a cook. If I make her a salad with a juice box, that should be good...right? Hmm, or I could just go to bed, I am sleepy...jeez, what to do? > Diamond Tiara Likes The Wonderbolts-Bad Ending > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Don’t buy two tickets for the Wonderbolts show. Yeah, why should I buy tickets for her? It’s not that big of a deal, and I’m sure her idol Rainbow whatever will take her. I might as well not even bother. I’m just going to go upstairs and go to bed already. ...Though I suppose I could do a little bit of gaming. Just for a couple of hours. Ugh, maybe playing games all night wasn’t the best idea, I ended up gaming all night. I’m totally gonna fall asleep in Miss Cheerilee’s class. Whatever, maybe if I’m careful she won’t notice? I can only hope that’s the case as I walk into the classroom, trying to stifle a yawn, when I see Scootaloo. “Oh, hey Scootaloo,” I wave with a smile. I think we are on a fast track to becoming- “You!” she yells out as she glares at me. …Well, she doesn’t seem very happy. “How could you do this too me?!” she yells at me, pointing at...oh you have got to be kidding me! “You still have that moustache?!” I laugh as I point at her face, oh this is rich! “It’s not funny!” Oh come on, calm down a little. “Come on Scootaloo, no need to get so mad, just let me-” “Don’t touch me!” Hey! How dare you slap my hoof away! “You know, I thought you were cool! I thought we were becoming friends, but I guess the only reason you wanted to hang out was to humiliate me!” “S-Scootaloo, calm down, I didn’t mean to-” “What?! Embarrass me in front of the whole town?!” Embarrass? I didn’t mean to do that, it was just a joke! “Scootaloo, come on, it was just a joke, liven up a little!” “You know what! No! My whole life you’ve done nothing but bully me, and I’m sick of it!” She turns around, swiping me with her tail, “I never want to talk to you again!” “Scootaloo, come on!” I say as I grab her shoulder. “Don’t touch me!” she quickly turns and punches me in the face. “Ow!” I tumble backwards into the bookshelf, causing it to wobble. “Diamond Tiara look out!” Somepony yells out. Look out for wha...oh cra- SPLAT! Bad End > Diamond Tiara Likes The Wonderbolts-Good Ending > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Make Scootaloo lunch for tomorrow. I guess I could make her some lunch. More than likely she’ll be really mad when she finds out what I did to her face, but with her short attention span I can easily fix that with food. “Now I just have to make something…” But what? I’m not much of a cook, though I’m sure if I tried I would be amazing. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to have a little help. “SWEET CORN, GET IN HERE!” I yell out. “Yes Miss Tiara!” Ah, I love it when they try to be punctual. “I need to make lunch for somepony, and I need your help,” I explain as I lead her into the kitchen. “Y-you’re making somepony...lunch?” Yes, didn’t I just say that? “Well, in that case, you’ll need to put it into a bento, make it a colorful arrangement of fruits, and make it into the shape of a heart!” She cooed idiotically, though I gotta admit, that is a good idea. “Hmm, and maybe I could glaze it with melted cheese!” She’d love it! ...What? Why are you looking at me like that?! “Uh… Miss Tiara, this food is to make her happy, right?” OF COURSE IT IS! “Why do you think I’m making it for her?!” I swear, maids these days ask the stupidest questions. She continues giving me that stupid odd look, and raises her hoof. “Uh… well, if you think she’ll like it-” “Of course she’ll like it, I’m the one making it!” If she doesn’t stop acting so stupid I’m going to have daddy fire her! “Now come on and help me!” It may have taken a few hours, but I finally finished Scootaloo’s lunch! It’s a delicious fruit salad with melted cheese and jello on top of it! It’s just like me, beautiful and sweet. Scootaloo’s going to go to heaven tasting this wonderful meal. “Oh Scootaloo!” I call out as I enter the classroom. “You!” Scootaloo yells out as she dashes towards me. Whoa, I knew she would be excited to see me, but dashing towards me? It’s so cute, she’s like a little puppy! A cute, adorable, glaring… well that’s not right. “I can’t believe what you did to me the other day!” Oh right, I completely forgot about that. “Oh come on Scootaloo, cheer up!” I tell her as I reach into my bag for her lunch. “And just why should I-” “Ta da!” I sing beautifully as I present her my specially made lunch box, “I made it just for you!” “Food!” Scootaloo yells out as she takes the lunch away, “I love food!” ...I’m sure I have a witty response to that, but honestly, I can’t for the life of me think of it. “Y-you made this for me?” “Of course I did! After all, we are friends!” And, it’ll give me more ways to get some alone time with you. And if it’s anything like my eroge… “Ooh, and it has cheese! I love cheese!” Scootaloo says as she starts eating her lunch...EATING HER LUNCH?! “You idiot!” I yell out as I take the lunch away from her, “it’s lunch, LUNCH! You eat it at lunch!” “But I wanna eat it now,” she grumbled, ooh, I so wanna hit you with a newspaper right now. “Please?” Oh, stop looking at me with those eyes! I won’t...be...swayed… “Ugh, fine!” I yell out as I hoof over the lunch. “Thanks DT!” Ugh, sometimes, I’m way too nice for my own good...oh well, at least she’s happy. -Good End > Diamond Tiara Likes The Wonderbolts-True Ending > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buy two tickets for the Wonderbolts show! Scootaloo really did seem pretty excited for it, and besides it’s probably my best option, after all, what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t constantly show her off? A pretty bad one that’s for sure. With that in mind, I quickly head to my room, going straight to my computer. If I do a express order I should get it by tomorrow morning. And when I do, I’ll quickly get to school, and invite Scootaloo. She’ll be so happy, she’ll give me a huge hug! She’ll be kissing my hooves in gratitude, maybe she’ll even give me a nuzzle or two! I can’t wait to see the look on her face! Ah, the beginning of a new school day, I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see the look on Scootaloo’s face when she sees these Wonderbolts tickets, she’s going to freak! Now let’s see if I can find- “YOU!” Scootaloo runs up to me with a glare, which will no doubt be gone in a few seconds. “I can’t believe what you did to me the other day!” To be fair it was funny. “Oh come on Scootaloo, cheer up!” I tell her as I reach into my bag for the tickets. “I will not cheer up!” she yells as she turns around, “I want nothing to do with you!” “Is that right?” I ask as I pull out two tickets, “I guess that means you don’t want to go with me to the Wonderbolts show next month,” it truly is a tragedy. “That’s right, I…” she slowly turns around, her eyes wide and a little bit of drool trickling out of the side of her mouth, “Wonderbolt...tickets?” “That’s right!” I smile as I wave the two tickets in front of her, her eyes swaying, trying to keep up with the tickets, “and they’re even box seats too! It’s too bad you don’t want to go though,” I say as I put the tickets away, “after all, you don’t want anything to do with me…” I trail off as I start walking to my desk. “Diamond Tiara, wait!” Scootaloo begs as she grabs me from behind, “you have to take me with you!” she begs, looking at me with tear filled eyes. I gotta admit, it is adorable! “I don’t know Scootaloo, you do hate me after all.” It has been a long fought battle, but I’m so close to capturing her heart. I just need to push a little bit more. “I don’t hate you!” Scootaloo shouted as she got in front of me, bowing before me, “I just...uh…” she trails off, her tongue sticking out of her mouth as she tries to figure out the best thing to say. One day that tongue will be in my- >Kiss Scootaloo then and there. >suck on Scootaloo’s tongue while she’s distracted. >End this and take her with you to the Wonderbolts. ...Wow, looking at those first two choices, I’m beginning to see why my dad thinks I play too much erotic dating sims. >End this and take her with you to the Wonderbolts. That may be best if I don’t want Miss Cheerilee to have a heart attack. “Alright, alright, I understand Scootaloo,” I say as I lift her head with my hoof, “I guess if you really want to go, I have little choice but to take you with me.” “YEEEEESSSS!” Scootaloo screams as she hugs me tightly. Aww yeah, she’s soooo warm! “You are not going to regret this! This is going to be the best…uh...next month ever?” she asks me as she scratches her chin. “That’s right Scootaloo, this is going to be the best next month later.” After a whole month of planning, the day has finally arrived. It’s the day of the Wonderbolts show here in Ponyville, with the stadium located just outside of Ponyville. I’m still surprised they were able to build it within a month though, and it looks pretty good. “This is gonna be so awesome!” Scootaloo screams as she flapped her tiny wings. “If you keep standing there and flapping your wings, they’re going to start without us,” I tell her as I begin walking into the building. “Hey, wait up!” Scootaloo shouts as she follows me, though we didn’t really have anything to worry about, we did get here kind of early. In fact, I’m pretty sure we’re the first ones here. “Let’s go to the shop and get something to eat while we wait.” “What!?” Do I really need to repeat myself? “But the show’s going to start any minute, we’ll miss it!” Really? I take a look at a nearby schedule and… “Scootaloo?” I motion for her to come closer, which she did. I then quickly flick her across the nose. “WE HAVE OVER SIX HOURS TILL THE SHOW BEGINS!” I can’t believe we came this early!!! We’re going to be here forever! “Oh, uh...sorry?” You’re lucky you’re so cute, otherwise I’d have daddy hire a hitpony, and believe me, you wouldn’t like that. I’ve played Hitpony, I know what they’re capable of. “Let’s just get something to eat already.” I look at a nearby map, and quickly find where the concession stand is. “Perfect, let’s go.” “You sure we’re not going to miss the Wonderbolts show?” Scootaloo asks, jeez, she has zero faith in me. “Stop worrying about it, we got like, six hours till the show begins. Even if we get lost I doubt we’d miss the show.” “Go get something to eat, she said.” Shut up. “It’s going to be fine, she said.” Shut up. “We’re not going to miss the Wonderbolts show, she said!” “I said I was sorry!” It’s not my fault the idiots who built this made it so darn complicated! “Let’s just look at the map again!” What do you think I’m trying to do?! I can’t believe we got lost! Worse, it’s almost time for the Wonderbolts show! If I mess this up there’s no way I can get Scootaloo! If only these stupid maps they placed in the building wasn’t so darn...it’s upside down. It’s. Upside. Down. “MCINTOSH!” I WILL KILL YOU! “Whoa, what’s your problem?” Scootaloo asks patting me on the back. “Nothing, let’s go,” I shrug off her hoof and began trotting in the right direction. “Where are you going?!” Scootaloo yells as she quickly follows after me. “I’m going in the right direction.” And it’s not long until we finally reach our box seats. “Huh, that’s weird, according to the map-” “The map was upside down.” McIntosh, I will have my revenge. You almost screwed up my date with Scootaloo. You will pay, I swear on the grave of my mother you will pay. “Uh, you alright?” Scootaloo asks as she uses her key to open the door. “Oh, I’m great!” I reply smiling. I’ll have to get my revenge later, for now I’ll just enjoy the show. “Great!” Scootaloo says as she sits down, “though I could go for something to eat, all that running around made me hungry.” … “I’ll be right back,” I tell her as I go to exit the room. “Huh, where you going?” “To get us something to eat.” “You want me to come with you?” she says as she begins to get up from her seat. “No, you stay here and enjoy the show, don’t worry, I’ll be quick.” “Well, if you say so,” Scootaloo says as she sits back down, “just be quick.” Yeah yeah, I’ll get your food- “The show wouldn’t be as awesome if we don’t watch it together!” ...Heh, I bet you’d be great at playing dating sims Scoots. “Alright, alright, don’t want you to get too lonely now.” I chuckle as I quickly leave the room, hearing Scoots yelling at me from behind the closed door. “Whoo! That was awesome!” Scootaloo yells as she pumps her hoof into the air, “did you see the part where Spitfire did that totally awesome move?!” “Oh yeah, how could I miss that?” I don’t have the heart to tell her I have no idea what she’s talking about. “I know right?! Oh, and Fleetfoot did that really cool move where she did that strange loop! It was almost like watching Rainbow Dash!” Still no idea what you’re talking about Scoots. “It certainly was fun to watch.” I reply as I stretch in my seat. “Though we better get going, it’s starting to get dark.” “We can’t leave yet!” She yells as she grabs my arm. Though I would love to cuddle with you, now’s not the time. “Why not? The show’s over.” “Not yet it isn’t,” Scootaloo says as she stares into the night sky, “after every show, they have fireworks!” Fireworks? Well, that does sound romantic. “Well, I do love fireworks… I guess we can stay,” I say as I sit back down. “Yeah, I’m not a big fan myself, but I thought you’d like it.” Oh please, as if I’d buy that. BOOM I turn away from Scootaloo as soon as I hear the fireworks, and I must say, it’s beautiful! Words couldn’t do it justice. It was as if a meteor shower made up of Lucky Charms was flowing in the sky, bursting in sugary deliciousness. There was only one thing I could think of more beautiful. “Diamond Tiara.” See? Even Scootaloo agrees. “I used to hate you. I used to think you were stupid, arrogant, obnoxious-” “Gee, thanks.” “-and all around a big, fat jerk.” I’M NOT FAT! “But during this last month, you’re actually pretty cool!” Scootaloo turns to me with a smile. “Ugh...thanks.” Geez, don’t say such embarrassing things, even if they’re true. Though I’m still not going to forgive that fat remark. “Hey, you think we could still...you know…” she starts scratching the back of her neck, I guess that’s a habit, and looks away. Could this be… >Laugh at her proposition. >Hug Scootaloo. >Kiss the girl. YES!!! I DID IT! THE FINAL CHOICE! I DID IT! I AM WINNING!!! >Kiss the girl. I gently turn her head towards me, leaning in close to her. “Scootaloo, the truth is, I want to spend every day with you” I whispered as I gently kiss her, caressing her cheek as I did so. As I felt Scootaloo wrapping her hooves around my neck, with the fireworks illuminating our room, I could only think of one thing. Score. > Diamond Tiara Likes Building Stadiums > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Go to Sweet Apple Acre's No matter how hard I try, I just can’t get that image out of my head. Our lips were so close to touching, until Miss Cheerilee ruined it. Hopefully Apple Bloom will actually be at the farm, I don’t feel like running all over town looking for her. Well, I better get a move on. It shouldn’t take too long to get to that stupid farm, ugh, just thinking of all the dirt is making me...huh? That’s weird, why are their a bunch of ponies outside of Apple Bloom’s house? It looks like they’re getting ready to do...something. Geez, this is gonna make finding Apple Bloom so much harder! “Diamond Tiara! What are ya’ll doing here?!” Well...never mind. Looks like Apple Bloom just couldn’t stay away from me! Though I guess I can’t blame her, it is me we’re talking about. “Why, hello Apple Bloom!” I wave at her as she walks up to me, “I just came to see my favorite farm pony in the whole world!” “Yeah, right,” she grunts as she rolls her eyes, “look, ah’m busy right now so if you could-” “What?! You’re busy?!” It doesn’t matter if you’re busy! You should happily drop everything and spend time with me! “Yeah, ah’m busy,” she glared, how dare you?! You don’t glare at me! Why am I even talking to you if that’s how you’re going to be?! “Ah’m helping mah family build a stadium for that Wonderbolts show in a month.” What? Wonderbolts show? In a month?! “Wow, that’s not a whole lot of time.” Seriously, even with all this help I doubt they could do much in a month. Apple Bloom sighs and goes to pick up a hammer. “Yeah, it isn’t,” she grumbles a bit, “ah don’t even want to do it, but Granny says we need the money.” “You wouldn’t need money if you lived with me.” Yeah, that sucks Apple Bloom. “W-what did ya’ll say?” Apple Bloom asks me, tilting her head in a cute… uh, did I say that out loud? “Um, nothing, I said nothing!” Ugh, my face feels like it’s on fire! I can’t believe I said that out loud! “Anyways, good lu-” >Wish Apple Bloom good luck >Laugh at her misfortune >Help build the stadium Well, I was gonna do the first one anyways, and besides, I really don’t want to get my hooves dirty, they’re so perfect! “Well, ah gotta go Diamond.” Ugh, why does she sound so...sad? “See ya later.” I’m not helping. Nope. I’m just going to wish her...QUIT LOOKING SO SAD! “If ya’ll see Scoot’s and Sweetie Belle, could ya tell em ah won’t be able to hang out with em fer awhile?” “AAARGH!” FINE! “Uh, Diamond, are ya okay?” >Help build the stadium “As if I could let you do this by yourself!” I yell at her, taking her hammar from her mouth… her breath smells ni-NO! Concentrate Diamond Tiara, concentrate. “Uh, what?” Wow, you sure are dense Apple Bloom. I spit out the hammar, a lady doesn’t talk with her mouth full. “I’m going to help build the stadium of course!” “Y-yer joking, right?” What’s that supposed to mean?! “Uh, ah mean, that’s great!” That’s right, you better be grateful. “But, do ya even know what to do?” … “Ah take that as a “no” then,” Apple Bloom sighs, hey, it’s not my fault! Whatever, I’ll think of something. >Give up >Try to do things on your own >Follow Apple Bloom around and help her Ha! Right, give up. Please, Diamond Dazzle Tiara never gives up! Even the idea of giving up is stupid! Though, I can’t exactly go off on my own, I really have no idea what I’m doing and,though I hate to say it, I’m pretty sure I’ll just end up hurting myself. so that leaves only one option. >Follow Apple Bloom around and help her “I guess I’ll just follow you around then!” I tell her as I pick up some of her saddle bags. Apple Bloom just sighs and picks up the rest of the saddle bags. “Yer not gonna give, are ya?” “Do you want me to leave, or would you rather have me stay?” I ask, fluttering my eyes at her. Apple Bloom glares at me, but I see that adorable blush of hers! Admit it Apple Bloom, you want me to stay. “Alright, fine,” she finally agrees as she goes off to the building area, with me close behind, “ah guess if we work together, it shouldn’t be too hard.” Right, that’s the reason you want me here, we’ll just stick with that. “Alright Diamond, pass me the hammer!” “Don’t tell me what to do!” Honestly, does she even have any manners?! Jeez, and here I thought we’d be working together, not her bossing me around! “Ah thought ya’ll wanted to help me?” Apple Bloom asked, gritting her teeth as she stood in front of some planks. “You didn’t even say please,” I spit out as I passed the hammer to her. I know she grew up on a farm, but I didn’t think she would be this rude! And besides, this is boring! It’s only been a hour or so, and yet I’m already regretting this decision. I should have just went home. “Thanks,” Apple Bloom says as she takes the hammer from me, and starts nailing the wood together. Ugh, this is so boring! Do you know how boring it is to watch somepony nailing wood together?! It’s very boring! At this rate I’m going to go insane! "Apple Bloom!” I grab onto her leg, with the cutest pout I could muster, “can we pleeeaaase take a break? I’m going insane!” Surely you’re bored too?! “Dang it, Diamond Tiara, we just can’t run off!” Ugh, figures you’d be the goody four hooves. With how much you seem to love doing this, I’m surprised you haven’t gotten a cutie mark for it! “We’ve been working for hours!” “Ah’ve been working fer hours, ya’ll just standin there and whining.” How dare you imply I’ve been doing nothing?! I have been supporting you this whole time! It’s like you don’t even care that I’m here! If that’s the way you’re going to be, then fine! “Well, if my whining is so annoying I guess I’ll just leave!” And good riddance! I’ll just go home and play some video games! Maybe I’ll even finish that dating sim...nah. I don’t feel like going through two hours of text just because I forgot to save. “Diamond Tiara, wait!” Apple Bloom calls out, as if I’m going to listen to somepony who doesn’t even appreciate- DON’T BITE MY TAIL YOU RUFFIAN! “Err, sorry.” That’s right, you better apologize! Not even you get to touch my beautiful tail Apple Bloom. “Really Apple Bloom, what is it with you and your family about biting other ponies tails?” Seriously, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen her sister bite that one colts tail all the time. What was his name? Rainbow...something. Or is he a mare? I could never tell. “Ah said ah was sorry!” If you’re so sorry, then stop glaring at me. “Listen, ah know you’re bored, but we just can’t up and leave! Mah brothers counting on me.” She points off into the distance. Wow, Big McIntosh sure is working hard. I can see him hauling tons of wood, must be pretty tough. I guess...he would be pretty upset if we just left without saying anything. With how hard he’s working, the apple family must really need the- “And besides, ah might git mah cutie mark!” … >Bop her on the nose. >Bop her on the nose. >Bop her on the nose. Hmm, let me think… >Bop her on the nose. “Ow! What’d ya’ll do that for?!” Apple Bloom glares as she rubs her nose, serves you right! “Is that the only thing you can think about right now?!” Seriously Apple Bloom! Is your cutie mark really the only thing you can think about? And besides, you tried getting a cutie mark in carpentry! Many times! If it didn’t work before, why would it work now?! Can’t you go one day without trying to get your cutie mark? We should be doing something fun like...like...Hmm. >Bop her on the nose. >Play tag! >Hide in the nearby bushes and make out. Hmm, I do want to bop her on the nose again, honestly, she can be so annoying sometimes! Though I guess a game of tag would be fun. Maybe Apple Bloom will even give me a challenge, unlike Silver Spoon, she sucks at tag. I could even lose her in...those...bushes... Or, we could have a different kind of fun. Those bushes do look like a nice hiding spot to spend some…quality time together. “Uh, Diamond Tiara, what are ya thinking about now?” “Oh, nothing!” I turn away and head towards the building materials. Knowing her, she’ll take the bait. And it’ll make it all the sweeter. She quickly follows me, just like I planned. “Oh come on, tell me!” Oh you’ll find out, I’m about to do it! > Diamond Tiara Likes Building Stadiums-Bad End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Bop her on the nose. “So, Diamond, what did ya’ll want to-” with a quick bop on her nose, Apple Bloom quickly back peddled and glared at me. “What in tarnation was that for?!” “That was for earlier when you didn’t ask for the hammer properly!” If she thinks she can get away scot-free, she has another thing coming! Nopony messes with Diamond Dazzle Tiara and lives to tell the tail! “Are ya seriously still hung up over that?” Yes! Do you even need to ask?! “Seriously, it’s not even that big a deal!” Yeah, so says- HEY! DON’T PUSH ME LOSER! “That’s it! You want some of this?!” I quickly push her away, ha! That’s right, snivel like the coward you- what are you doing with that plank of- … “How does that feel Diamond Tiara?!” … “...Diamond Tiara?” … “...MCINTOSH, HELP! DIAMOND TIARA FELL DOWN REALLY HARD!!!” You...horse...ugh. Bad End > Diamond Tiara Likes Building Stadiums-Good End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ` >Play tag! “Oh, Apple Bloom,” I whisper in her ear, wrapping my hooves around her neck, the smell of her sweat drifting into my nostrils, the scent of a hard working farm pony. Oh, just thinking about it made me go numb! “W-what is it Diamond Tiara?” Apple Bloom asked me, her cute cheeks burning red with what I could only imagine to be desire. Ooh, I can’t wait to see the look on her face! “There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a very long time.” I told her as I breathed into her ear, causing it to twitch cutely. “W-what did ya’ll wanna tell me?” “Well, you see Apple Bloom,” I whispered, I backed away a bit, and nuzzled my nose against her’s, causing her to gulp a bit. I tend to have that effect on ponies. “You’re it!” I quickly back away and tapped her nose, and like a blazing speed demon, sprinted away as fast as I could. “Oh come on!” I hear Apple Bloom shout behind me, before giving chase. Ha! As if you’ll ever catch- “Gotcha!” “Gah, my back!” WHY DID YOU JUMP ON MY BACK?!” “Uh, sorry Diamond Tiara, ya’ll alright?” NO I’M NOT ALRIGHT! YOU BROKE MY BACK! “I swear Apple Bloom, you’re going to be the death of me,” I complain as I rub my back. Jeez, she’s a lot heavier than she looks! At least my back isn’t actually broken, if that happened I couldn’t show off my beauty to the rest of Equestria! And that is a crime I will never commit. “Sorry Diamond Tiara, didn’t mean ta hurt ya or anything,” Apple Bloom laughed while rubbing the back of her neck. Right, sure. “Whatever, let’s get back to work, since playing with you is hazardous to my health!” “Alright, alright,” Apple Bloom sighed as she followed me. Jeez, try to have fun, and all she does is hurt me. She’s a real jerk! “Alright, so what do you need?” I ask as I sit down by the tools, looking at the pile of wood before us. “Let’s see…” Apple Bloom carefully looked at the material before her, and sighed. “Ah completely forgot what we’re making.” “How can you forget?!” I bonk her on the head with my hoof, “it’s a stadium, right?!” “Ah forgot what part we’re making!” she growled back, crossing her hooves over her chest. “Dang, McIntosh is gonna be so mad!” she sighed, sitting next to me as we stare at the pile of wood. Well, what are we gonna do- >Get Big McIntosh. >Get something to eat. >Make a swing set! Hmm, as much as I would loooove getting back to work, I’d rather get something to eat. ...Then again, a swing set does sound pretty cool right now! >Make a swing set! “Hey Apple Bloom, want to make a swing set?” I ask, hopefully she says yes, I’m bored out of my mind! “Okay!” Apple Bloom smiles at me and gets some wood. “Come on Diamond, let’s do this!” Now you’re talking! We’re going to make the best swing set ever! This is the worse swing set ever. “It’s not...that bad.” Apple Bloom said as she pat me on the back. “It’s even worse, Apple Bloom.” Jeez, it looks like it got beaten with a ugly stick. “Well, look on the brightside!” Apple Bloom said as she hugged me, “at least we built it together!” Built it...together? “...ARE YOU SAYING THIS IS MY FAULT?!” Stupid Apple Bloom! How dare she?! This is clearly her fault! “Ah wasn’t saying anything like that!” You lie! “Ah was just saying it’s special cause we made it together!” T-Together? “But...it looks horrible.” “So?” Apple Bloom asked, wrapping her hooves around my shoulders, “we spent time together to make it, so ah say, it’s the greatest swing set ever!” … “...What?” “You...you are so lame.” Jeez, grow up already! “If that’s true, then why are ya’ll smiling?” her hug tightens around me. Jeez, you really like embarrassing me don’t you! >Hug her back. >Push her away. >Spit in her face. ...Why would I spit in her face? That’s disgusting! And I can’t just push her away, I mean, I want to, but… >Hug her back. I wrap my hoof around her neck, and squeeze her against me. This...this just feels right. “I guess the swing set is…alright.” “Heh, ah know right? We should do this more often!” Heh, you know what Apple Bloom? I’d like that, I really would. With that thought, our hug ends, and- Why is Miss Applejack glaring...at… Uh oh. Good End(?) > Diamond Tiara Likes Building Stadiums-True End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Hide in the nearby bushes and make out. “Well, where are we going, Diamond Tiara?” Apple Bloom asks as I lead her towards the bushes. “Just hurry up, Apple Bloom!” Seriously, you need to lighten up! Looks like nopony’s looking. I quickly jump into the bushes and urge Apple Bloom to do the same. “What are we doing hiding here?” Oh Apple Bloom, you are so ignorant. “We’re not hiding, Apple Bloom,” I tell her as I lay on my back. “We’re just gonna have a little bit of fun.” “F-fun?” Yes, Apple Bloom, fun. As in we’re going to make out. As in we’re going to hold each other lovingly. As in if you don’t get on top of me right now I’m going to get up and make you get on me! “Come on, Apple Bloom! You know you want to.” And I know it too, if that blush is any indication. “W-well, ah guess we could have… ‘fun’...but just fer a little bit!” YES! I DID IT! I can barely contain myself as Apple Bloom struts towards me with that adorable blush of hers! She carefully climbs on top of me, leaning down and- “Apple Bloom! Diamond Tiara! Where are you two?!” OH COME ON! “That’s mah sister! We gotta go!” No! Don’t leave me! “Come on, Apple Bloom. She won’t find us!” You should just worry about staying with me! I know for a fact you want to kiss my lips; who doesn’t? “It doesn’t matter, Diamond Tiara. Mah sister’s calling fer us.” Grr, stupid Applejack! She is going to make a terrible sister-in-law! “Listen, we can make out later… Wow, never knew ah’d ever say that.” Yeah, thinking it over that is kind of a weird thing for you to say. “Alright, fine!” I throw her off of me and get up. “But you are so buying me a parfait later if you want any of this!” I tell her as I wag my tail in front of her. “...Ah don’t get it.” ...Note to self: Have Apple Bloom play some eroge, THEN tempt her with sexy tail wagging. “Whatever, let’s just go!” “What ah do now?” Apple Bloom whines as she follows me. “Listen, Ah’ll make it up to you, promise.” Hmph. “Come on,” Apple Bloom says as she throws her hoof over my shoulder. “Gimme a smile.” I don’t want to. “Will it make you feel better if ah told you why I like you?” “I already know why you like me.” “Really?” Apple Bloom asks with a raised eyebrow. Not as cute as her blush, but still cute. “Alright, ah’ll bite. Why do ah like you?” “It’s so obvious: it’s because I’m Diamond Dazzle Tiara!” Only fools who have no taste hate Diamond Dazzle Tiara. “That’s...sure, lets go with that.” Ha! Called it. “Lets just hurry up and find mah sister.” Alright, alright, I get it! You’re embarrassed. Can’t blame you, after all, you have the most beautiful filly in school pining for your affection. “You know, Apple Bloom,” I whisper as I stop her from leaving the bushes, “I’m sure your sister can wait just a few more seconds.” “Why does she need to wait for just a few sec-” I cut her off with a quick kiss to her lips. Her tender, sweet lips that taste just like apple jam...though they’re a bit dry I should give her some chap stick. With how dry her lips are, I might accidently cut my lips. “Apple Bloom, you need to start using chap stick,” I tell her after pulling away. “Uh...sorry?” That’s right, you better apologize! “Anyways, we done? Or do you want another?” she asks me with a smile. Oh, do you want another kiss? “Well, I suppose we could…” I whisper as I lean towards Apple Bloom, our lips barely touching, “...find Applejack. She must be worried sick!” I reply as I turned away and leaped out of the bushes. “...That’s not funny.” I hear Apple Bloom grumble behind me. “It’s not my fault your sister’s calling. I mean, you’re not going to ignore her, are you?” Well? What will you do, Apple Bloom? Make out with me? Or talk to your sister who’s just going to give you more work? I think the answer is obvious. “....Get in the bushes.” Well, I guess that answers that question! True End > Diamond Tiara Likes Music > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Go back into the market and find Sweetie Belle I did really enjoy Sweetie Belle’s singing voice. Maybe if I go find her she’ll be willing to sing for me? Well, I have nothing to lose, so I might as well check it out. With that in mind I go back into the market. I highly doubt she could have gotten far- “H-Hi Diamond Tiara!” Whoa! I quickly turn around and find Sweetie Belle smiling at me. And she has this cute little blush too. “S-So what’s up? Doing some shopping?” “Shopping?” Uh no, I’m here looking for you. Though...I’m not sure if that’s the best thing to say to her. >I’m here looking for you >Yes, I’m here to shop >None of your business, Dumb Belle! ...I’m pretty sure that last line will get me no where. As for the first line, it kind of makes me sound like a creepy, desperate stalker. And I, Diamond Dazzle Tiara, am anything but desperate! >Yes, I’m here to shop “Yeah! I figure I could get a quick bite to eat before I head on home!” Oh, Diamond Tiara, you are so crafty! “What about you?” “Me?” Yes, Sweetie Belle, you. “Well, I-I was just looking for something to do, since all my friends are busy,” Sweetie Belle said rubbing the back of her neck. Is that right? >In that case, why don’t you join me for a bite to eat? >Well, good luck finding something to do >If you got nothing to do, than sing for me! Hmm, if I use that last one, then I might scare off Sweetie Belle. And as for the second, I could use that as bait to get her to initiate our hangout...but isn’t she too shy for that? I doubt she’ll take the bait. So the best choice is…then again, she probably had breakfast not too long ago, since it is pretty early. Geez, this is gonna be a shot in the dark. >If you have nothing to do, than sing for me! “Well, if you’re not too busy, how about you sing for me?” “W-w-w-w-what?!” Well, this could have gone better. “S-sing?! F-f-for you?! I’m sorry, I can’t!” Oh wow, she’s really turning red. “Well, why not? I mean, we both already know I love your singing.” “L-love?! W-well, in that case…” Oh come on, Sweetie Belle! Don’t chicken out now, we both know you like to sing, and we both know I love your singing! “Would it help if you imagined me in a pair of underwear?” I ask her with a smirk, that always helps me in speech cla- and she’s redder than ever. Huh, didn’t imagine her to be into that kinda thing. The more you know. “W-well, I guess I could give it a go,” Sweetie Belle finally replies, rubbing her two hooves together. “But can we go somewhere more...private?” Darn! I figure she’d have forgotten about us being in the middle of town, with how much of a airhead she can be. Oh well, nothing wrong with a private performance! “Sure! How about we go back to my place?” I ask, wrapping my hooves around her shoulder and giving her a gentle squeeze. “Sounds great!” Yes, come to Diamond. “This is going to be so much fun! I’m so glad you decided to be friends with me!” …Friends? Friends?! “Uh, Diamond Tiara? Are you alright?” “Yes, of course I am, Sweetie!” It’s fine! Keep calm, everything is going to be alright. I can get out of this...grr, friendzone. The accursed zone that has prevented me from getting a mare on the first time, how I loathe thee. “Um, okay? Well, let’s get going!” “Wow, Diamond Tiara, your room is so big!” Sweetie Belle says as she runs around my bedroom. “Well, a mare does need her space, right?” I tell her with a laugh, a sexy laugh. One that will no doubt charm her and increase her affection towards me- Why is she looking at me like that? “Uh, you sure you’re alright, Diamond?” ...Note to self: Never use that laugh again. “Yes, I’m perfectly fine, Sweetie Belle!” Jeez, am I really acting that weird?! Or maybe I’m not being subtle enough? I need a way to entice her, but at the same time not make it overly obvious, otherwise she’s just going to think I’m being weird and ask that stupid question again. Hmm, what to do? >Sit next to each other on the bed. >Lay sexilly on the bed and have Sweetie Belle sing a love song. >Share a bag of potato chips. Jeez, that second one is WAY too obvious! In fact, I’m pretty sure that would scare her away! I don’t want that! And the third one...really? How am I going to win her heart WITH A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS?! I swear I’m going too- Grr! Whatever, at least it’s pretty obvious which answer I should choose. > Diamond Tiara Likes Music-Bad End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Lay sexilly on the bed and have Sweetie Belle sing a love song. Drastic times call for drastic measures! “Uh, Diamond Tiara what are you doing?” “What do you mean?” I ask her, laying on top of my bed in a sexy manner. “I just want to hear you sing!” I tell her as I swish my tail back and forth. “Um...okay?” Aw, you look so cute with that blush! “So what do you want me to sing?” “Oh I don’t know. How about a love song?” I say while wiggling my eyebrows. Come on Sweetie, I don’t bite. “Um...listen, Diamond Tiara, I’m kind of uncomfortable with this so I’m just going to leave…” WHAT?! YOU CAN’T LEAVE! “Hold on, Sweetie Belle!” I yell out as I grab her hoof. “You can’t leave yet! I still haven’t heard you sing!” “Let go of me!” Oh no you don’t! You’re not getting away that easily! I will hear you sing and then we’re going to-Why is her horn sparking? “Uh, Sweetie Belle your horn is-” AAAAH! I’M ON FIRE! “Diamond Tiara! Oh my Celestia, I’m so sorry!” IT HURTS! OH CELESTIA IT BURNS!!! STOP DROP ROLL! STOP DROP ROLL! Stop...drop...ro...ll…. Bad End > Diamond Tiara Likes Music-Good End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Sit next to each other on the bed “Well, Sweetie Belle,” I motion for her as I sit on my bed. “How about we listen to your sweet singing now?” “Sure, Diamond Tiara,” Sweetie Belle replies cutely as she sits next to me on the bed. Honestly, she is just too cute! The way she just twiddles her hooves together nervously! I could get used to this. “Ready when you are!” And with that, Sweetie Belle began singing. It was beautiful, majestic, and above all else very her. “I’m gonna get my cutie mark! I’m gonna get my cutie mark! I’m gonna get my cutie mark with the help of my friends~!” ...The lyrics could use some work, admittedly. Well, Sweetie Belle that was...interesting!” Boy was it interesting… “Thanks Diamond Tiara!” Ah! She’s hugging me! This feels great! “I’m so glad you decided to be friends with me!” ...What? I-I’m still...no. No! “I have a feeling we’re going to be friends for a very long time!” NOOOOOOOOOO! Good End(?) > Diamond Tiara Likes Music-True End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Share a bag of potato chips I...I can’t believe I’m actually going through with this. This has got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever come up with… “Hey, Sweetie Belle!” I call out as I go towards my desk and grab the bag of potato chips. “Before we start, want to share a bag of potato chips?” “Sure, I love potato chips!” Sweetie Belle says as she comes towards me. I should have chosen something else, any of the other two choices! I’m going to be stuck in the friend zone forever! Well, at least we’re sitting next to each other, that’s a good sign. Guess that’s better than- “EEEP!” Huh? What’s wrong now?! “S-sorry! Just didn’t expect our hooves to touch.” Oh okay. Weird, but whatever. ...Wait. THAT’S IT! THIS IS MY SHOT! “Oh, Sweetie Belle, you have some crumbs on your lips!” I giggle softly. “What? Where?” Sweetie Belle asks, wiping at her mouth with her hooves. Hook. “Oh silly! Here, want me to get it for you?” Line. “Sure, that would be great DT!” Sinker. Grabbing Sweetie by the chee-DID SHE CALL ME DT?! Wait, stop! Don’t get sidetracked! Focus Diamond Tiara, your love life depends on it! “Uh, Diamond what are you doing?” Oh right! Got her by the cheeks. “Don’t worry. I got it, Sweetie,” I assure her, leaning in close and licking the crumbs off her lips. “Got it,” I tell her, giggling at her now red face. “Th-thanks,” Sweetie Belle stuttered, looking away. Ah, is that a smile I see? Perfect! Now just to push a little more… “Come on, Sweetie Belle, if you stop now I’m going to eat all these potato chips by myself,” I joked, taking a potato chip in my mouth. “Here, this one is really good!” “R-really?” Sweetie Belle asks, leaning towards me. “Well, if you say so,” she whispered, taking a bite out of the chip. Our lips brush together for one instant, and then we both back away, chewing on our own piece of potato chip. “So, what did you think?” “I...I think I should have another taste,” Sweetie says with a blush, leaning towards me with her lips slightly parted. “Hmm, I already know I like it.” I tell her as I kiss her delicate lips. You know, despite the chips, her lips are incredibly sweet. True End > Diamond Tiara Likes Dating Sims-True End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ugh, my head! What was that? What was I doing last- “Diamond-kuuuuuun!” What the?! Oh, looks like I fell asleep in front of my computer. That’s weird, I never fell asleep when playing one of my dating sims. RRRRIIIIIIIIIING! WHOA! Jeez, that stupid alarm clock is loud! Guess I’ll save my game just in case, don’t want to lose any progress now! ...Why does this feel familiar? Feels like I’m getting a weird sense of...what’s it called? Dijon View? Eh whatever, doesn’t really matter I guess. Well, guess I better get ready for school. I wonder if breakfast is ready yet? Though I guess I could go to the bathroom really quick, but I might miss Daddy since he goes to work pretty early in the morning. What should I do? … … … ...WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?! Jeez, I must be half asleep or something! Guess I’ll just go downstairs for now. Ugh, I’m really beginning to wish I pretended to be sick today. I really don’t feel like going to school, it’s so boring! Oh well, at least I get to see Silver Spoon, maybe we can hang out later? The new episode of Neighruto does come out later today. I mean, I didn’t really plan on watching it today but it would make a good excuse to get Silver Spoon into anime. She really is missing out on a great- “Hi Diamond Tiara!” “Oh, Hi Silver-” WHOA! W-why is she hugging me all of a sudden and nuzzling my cheek?! “I can’t believe what you did to me yesterday! That was so mean!” ...Huh? “It was so embarrassing telling mom about...us. I could have really used your support you know!” Us? What about us? Is this about the Bump bump, sugar lump rump thing? I already told her I didn’t mean to make it a bit pervy! I mean, it was supposed to be pervy, but I wasn’t going to tell her that! ...Great, I’m in that mood now. “Anyways, everypony else is waiting for us!” Huh? Everypony else? “Come on, DT, you can’t keep your marefriends waiting now!” MAREFRIENDS?! WHAT?! “Diamond Tiara! What took you so long?!” Sweetie Belle? What is she doing here-why does she have a bag of potato chips? And why is there a half eaten chip in her mouth? “Sweetie Belle, what are you-” “Smoochie!” Smoochie? What does she mean by-OH MY CELESTIA WHAT ARE YOU DOING? “Sorry, Diamond, but you know how much better chips taste when you share it with the ones you love!” THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SHARE POTATO CHIPS! ONLY A SICK PERVERT...would….oh my that chip was especially delicious! “Sweetie Belle!” Uh oh, Silver seems mad. Hope she doesn’t do anything- “I thought you said I would get the first potato chip kiss with Diamond!” ...I don’t know what’s going on anymore. “Sorry, Silver Spoon! But only I get potato chip kisses with Diamond.” ...I really don’t understand what’s going on anymore! “Fine! Let’s just get going!” Silver Spoon says as she leads the way. Ugh, finally! I don’t think I can take another- “But first!” Huh? Why is she looking at me like...oh my. “...I wanted to lick the crumbs off of Diamond’s mouth,” Sweetie Belle mumbles to herself...at least, I think that’s what she said. I’m still having trouble understanding what’s going on! ...Not that I hate what’s going on, but a explanation would be great. “Ya’ll are taking forever!” Apple Bloom? “Yeah! You know how long I’ve been waiting to try some of Diamond Tiara’s home cooked meals?! Seriously I’m starving!’ Scootaloo?! Wait, home cooked meals? “Scoots, is that really the only thing ya can think of at a time like this?! Those two are hogging Diamond all to themselves!” Hogging?! Wait...Silver Spoon said...marefriends? Are these two...no. No, it can’t be! “Well I can’t help it! I love it when DT shares food with me, she puts so much of her love into her cooking!” What? “And then after we finish, she holds me so gently.” What?! “And then as the sun sets, she leans in and gently caresses me wings!” WHAT?! WHY?! WHY WOULD I DO THAT?! “Why would she do that?” Silver Spoon asks, glad somepony else doesn’t understand. “What? It helps with my digestion!” ...Yeah, not even going to ask. “So, Diamond Tiara! What did you make for us today?” Scootaloo asks as she walks up to me. Though I don’t really get why she’s asking me! Why would I ever...make...something...for...UGH! QUIT LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! “I-I did make a cheese sandwich with a side of tomato soup and salad we could share, if that’s okay?” Why does she looks so...CUTE?! “Great!” Scootaloo says as she...nuzzles me. “Can’t wait for lunch, I absolutely love your cooking!” Those eyes...hypnotic. “Yeah, great, can we all git going now? We’re gonna be late!” Huh? What’s wrong with Apple Bloom? She’s really looking upset. And why does that…bother me? “Hey, Apple Bloom what’s wrong?” I can’t help but ask. She’s acting like she got no presents on her birthday. “It’s nothing, Diamond, ah just wanna gt to school!” Apple Bloom...I’ve played so many dating sims I doubt you could count it on one hoof...okay, not a good example but you know what I mean! “Listen, Apple Bloom!” I shout as stand in her way. “I know something’s wrong, just tell me, alright?” I beg as I wrap a hoof around her shoulder. Come on, you can tell me anything. “I-it’s nothing, alright?!” Ah, I see. She’s jealous, that’s all. I just gotta do something for her, but what? ...I think I got it! “Hey, Apple Bloom, would you feel better if later I wore that bunny suit of yours, just for you?” I whisper in her ear, causing her to blush adorably. “Would that make you feel better?” “W-well, ah guess,” Apple Bloom giggles nervously, and begins walking ahead of us. “W-well let’s git going, we really are gonna be late to class, so ya’ll better hurry up!” “Alright, alright!” I call out, and the rest of us hurry after her. “Hey, DT?” Silver Spoon calls out and quickly stands next to me. “If you’re going to wear a bunny suit just for Apple Bloom, you better wear that Neighruto outfit just for me.” And with that Silver Spoon gallops ahead leaving me a little...flushed. I really don’t understand what’s going on...but I LOVE IT! Not too far off from Diamond Tiara and her new marefriends, Discord sat upon a cloud, wiping his tears with a small handkerchief. Sniffling every so often, he waved at the fillies as they went off to school, smiling gently at the beautiful scene. “Oh I do love me some happy endings!” he laughed as he threw the handkerchief away. “And all ye had to do was manipulate the dreams of five little fillies!” a voice from behind growled, causing him to turn around with a bright smile. “Luna! Oh, so good to see you!” he said happily as he hugged his…”friend”. “How are you? You look quite stressed! I hope nothing terrible happened.” “Discord,” Luna growled as she pried herself from Discord’s grasp. “Thou hast invaded our territory again! The dream world is ours to command, to guide our little ponies unto the correct path!” Luna shouted, causing Discord to pick at his ears with a smile. “Now, Luna! I know I may have gone a bit too far! But look at them!” he said as he pointed at the five fillies. “Don’t they look happy? Nopony got hurt!” “The one called Diamond Tiara died in her dreams several times,” Luna sighed as she rubbed her eyes. “We had to intervene in order to make sure she wasn’t permanently traumatized!” “Didn’t seem to work,” Discord mumbled as he spotted Diamond Tiara shuddering at the sight of some rope and a nearby axe. “And besides, it’s not my fault! How was I supposed to know she was bad at dating sims! Really, who dies that many times in those games?” “Other than our dear sister?” Luna asked as she scratched her chin in thought. “Not many we suppose…” “Exactly! So you can’t really blame me for that!” Discord said triumphantly, earning a shrug from Luna. What could she say? He was right, Diamond Tiara did make some incredibly stupid choices. “Though we would have never thought the one known as Silver Spoon could get so...deadly.” “Yes, you really should talk to her parents about some counseling, for Diamond’s sake,” Discord agreed with a laugh. “Really, she reminds me of that one time when you dated-” “DISCORD!” Luna shouted so loud she managed to push him with her voice alone. “Please...do not bring that up,” she demanded with a snarl, causing him to shiver. “Right, sorry!” he apologized with a laugh. “But back on topic, since nothing really bad happened, does this mean I’m free to go?” he asked with a smile. After a second or two of thinking, Luna nodded at him with a strained smile. “Yes, Discord, but thou will refrain from invading ponies dreams! We do not wish for a similar incident.” “Alright, fine!” Discord sighed with a pout. “You take the fun out of everything!” he said with a snap of his fingers, disappearing into the morning air leaving Luna all by herself. After a minute or so of being alone, Luna grinned to herself as she sensed several ponies still asleep. “Now, do we show them images of Celestia with an afro, or do we force them to go on a date with a timberwolf?” she asked herself, giggling in anticipation. Dream manipulation was so much fun.
