Chapter 1: A Fresh Start
((Chapter 1: A Fresh Start))
Diamond steps out of the Limo as they arrive at the front gates, "Ah, a new start away from that bothersome little town and..." She stops short of mentioning old enemies and grudges, lest she sour her mood and that of her beloved companion.
Diamond was dressed like any heiress to a multi billion B$t company might wear. Her sky blue pleated skirt fell to just above her knees, below that a pair of knee high leather boots with wicked looking 6 inch heels could be seen. She wore a simple white top, with a sweater vest that matched the skirt perfect. On the left breast of the vest were four small buttons, the Polomare trademark. She obviously only wore the best.
"Anyway, come along Silver we need to check in with administration to get our schedule and," she shudders visibly, "our freshman dorm assignment."
Silver exits the limo behind her mistress, she has a grace and poise not inherent in most servants, “Right behind you, Diamond.” She adjusts her glasses as she looks up at the school, considering all the history that was made here and how many great minds had passed through these doors, elated to be counted among them.
Silver was dressed a bit more simply. Her feet were encased in a pair of patent leather Mary janes with white knee socks. A pleated skirt in a green and blue plaid pattern fell to just above her knee. She wore a simple white blouse, similar to that of her Mistress, but no sweater vest. On her shoulder she carried a messenger bag, filled with anything she might need to serve her mistress.
“I suppose it's too much to hope for that we get to share a dorm?” She chuckles as she thinks what could be possible, while however unlikely, should the two lovers be fortunate enough to be roommates.
Diamond smiles, similar images of what they could do with infinite privacy, playing through the young heiress’s head "Oh, don't worry. I am sure we will be roomies. But we will have to share a bathroom with the whole hall." She rolls her eyes and visibly shudders at the thought of others living in the same building with a pony as important as she and her darling servant, Silver Spoon. "I can't wait until we can move off campus." Diamond sighs despondently.
Silver blushes and smiles thinking of what joy it would be to have an entire apartment alone together, sleeping in the same bed, making her lover breakfast, and being free to let her true self be unleashed.
“I am happy as long as I'm with you.” Silver assures in a whisper, discretely, knowing she has to keep her love a secret, “I am so thankful Master Riche allowed me to attend college with you.” She resists the urge to hold Diamond’s hand as she follows just behind and to her right, as is appropriate of a servant and assistant.
Diamond smiles, knowing full well Silver’s desire to make her love known. She can hear it in the silver mare’s voice, but trusts her servant will compose herself and not make a spectacle of her. "Daddy knows how important you are to me. Heck I wouldn't have made it through high school with the grades I had, if not for you." She smiles warmly, offering her future assistant a heartfelt compliment, as the pair approach the main admissions building.
Silver smiles just as thoughtfully and blushes, “You sell your self too short, DT. I really didn't have to tutor you all that much. But you know, It was my pleasure.” Though to herself she adds, "Being with you always is." She tugs at her pearls, remembering another accessory that is tighter and meant to bind her to her mistress. “I know you will make Master Riche and Mistress Ruby very proud.” she smiles.
Diamond grins widely, hearing her sweet Silver use the small term of endearment, given to her by her loving pet and submissive. She gently rubs her wrist, missing the feel of the leather loop, on the end of the leash, she would lead her Spoony around the house on, while her dad and mom were away.
"Silver, you have no idea how glad I am that you are here. After all, you are my only real friend." She stops at the door to Admissions, waiting patiently for her servant to open it for her.
Silver opens the door and whispers low that only her mistress may hear,
“My place is at your side, my Mistress Diamond.”
Silver resists the urge to bow. It has to appear as if she is only offering a fellow student, a common courtesy. Like she is only being polite in holding the door for a friend. “After you DT.” she smiles and gestures graciously toward the open door.
Diamond gives a warm and generous smile in return, "Thank you Spoony." She leads the way to the Admissions desk as Silver leaves the doorway and follows her mistress, the 6 inch heels of Diamond’s knee high boots clicking smartly as she walked along the marble floors of the impressive building.
Behind the counter sits a rather severe looking mare. She kind of reminds the pair of Miss Harsh Whinny, from the time they tried out for the Equestria Games flag team.
The Receptionist looks up from her paperwork at the pair of refined young mares. She regards them with a stern, no frills, expression. "How can I help you?" she asks dryly.
Diamond smiles politely, "I am Diamond Tiara Riche,” she gestures with fingers daintily pressed to her chest and then motions to her companion “and this is my associate, Silver Spoon. We are here to get our schedules and room assignment."
Silver gives a nod in greeting, “Miss Tiara and I would like to share a dorm if at all possible, ma’am.” she adjusts her glasses, after making the request.
The receptionist checks her computer and finds both names, "Yes, the two of you are assigned to Riche Hall, and will be sharing a room." She goes into a drawer and pulls out a pair of thick envelopes, handing them to each girl, "Here are your orientation packets. You will need to get your student IDs over at the campus security office. New student orientation is tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM." She says all this like she has rehearsed it for years.
Diamond nods in response, "Um thank you." She looks to Silver, "OK, let's get settled in."
Silver nods and bows ever so slightly to the receptionist “Thank you very much, ma’am. Have a nice day.” She quickly turns and follows on Diamond’s heels, before sprinting ahead and getting the door for her mistress.
Diamond steps through the door, then gets a big smile, as Silver closes it. "Did you hear that!? We are going to be in the dorms my great great Grandfather paid to have built!" She gives Silver a big hug in her excitement, then calms herself and regains her composure, "We should go tell Snowflake where to bring our things."
Silver silently thanks Luna for the public display of affection beyond their special hand shake, “Oh I am so excited.. I can't wait to get moved in!” She claps excitedly and squees with unbridled joy at the prospect of sharing a room, more than she dared to hope for, previously “I wonder what our classes will be like!”
Diamond smiles and pulls out her cell phone, a parting gift from her father. She dials a number and starts talking to the Pony on the other end, "Yes, Snowflake? Silver and I will be in the Riche Dorm. Bring the Limo around there to unload our things." She hangs up and smiles to her sweet Silver, "Let's go find out what room we are in."
Silver nods and eagerly follows her mistress, keeping that respective distance just behind her on her right, “I am just so happy to be here.. it's like a fresh new start for us..” Silver smiles and sighs slightly “I will miss Ponyville, but not the reputation I made there.” She squeals happily, “But most importantly I haven't seen you smile this much.” her smile broadens. “It does my heart good to see you finally happy.”
Diamond takes a deep breath, the smell of the air is very different here than it is in Ponyville, the smell of a fresh beginning, "Yeah Spoony, this is a fresh start for us, and we don't have those three to bother us." Diamond replies blankly, referring to a certain trio of fillies, she was glad to never have to see again after they basically ruined her cutcinera and her first attempt at true leadership. But that was the past. And with Silver Spoon at her side, willing to do anything to please her and insure her success, nothing could stop her now!
With newfound hope for the future, Diamond leads Silver to the Riche Dorms, a huge 5 story building, old, but well kept, and elegant in it’s design. The limo is already sitting there and a massive overly muscled pegasus stallion in a black chauffeur's uniform and cap, stands beside the late model Cadillac stretch limo that Mr. Riche had rented for his daughter and her assistant's use, once they got off the airline, First Class of course.
As he nodded to his two mistresses, Mr. Snowflake’s stunted wings brought to mind another Pegasus back home. Diamond shakes her head to dispel the thought as once again Silver got the door for her mistress. As they entered Snowflake remained with the car and waited for further instructions.
Unlike the car he was not a rental. He had been hired as a servant and bodyguard for the pair of young mares.
The common room actually resembled the main living room of the Riche Manor, a concept both Diamond and Silver picked up on. It made them feel instantly at home, and welcome. There are several young stallions and mares milling around the areas. “It seems this is a Co-Ed dorm” Silver Spoon adjusts her glasses as she takes in the new surroundings that are also so very familiar to the young maid.
“If I didn't know better, I’d swear I’d dusted those tables myself.” she refers in her head, to the coffee tables set up in the foyer for the students to lounge around, chat, and have a tea or coffee provided to them by servants.
Diamond elbows Silver in the side, noting her daydreaming, and jolting her back to reality as one of the mares, who seems a bit older than the rest, steps up to the pair of new students, "Hello, I'm Marigold, the RA here for the Riche Dorm, can I get your names?"
Diamond smiles warmly, "I'm Diamond Tiara, and this is Silver Spoon."
Marigold gasps, "Wait, you are Diamond Tiara Riche? Oh wow, well let me lead you to the Riche Room then!" she replies with a strange excitement and familiarity that catches both mares off guard, neither one used to being received with such enthusiasm by one of their peers.
Diamond blinks and looks to Silver, a bit confused and startled by the display of exuberance, she was not sure was warranted.
Silver nods to her mistress with encouragement, knowing Diamond can be in need of it sometimes, despite her air of superiority she tries to maintain. Silver gestures for Diamond to follow the mare.
Diamond regains her self confidence in Silver’s soft lavender eyes and smiles as she follows Marigold up to her new dorm room. Marigold smiles and opens the door, inside is a very well kept Dorm room, though there is one major difference from most dorm rooms, instead of 2 twin beds, there is one queen size Four Poster, along with book shelves and a large desk.
Marigold blushes, "Um, I hope this is OK, all the other rooms are taken, and well, I hope you two don't mind sharing a bed, Ms. Riche?”
Diamond smiles, "It's perfect."
Silver’s heart does a little tap dance at the thought of having to share a bed with her loving mistress. Outwardly she matches only Diamond’s level of enthusiasm, “Quite adequate indeed. Such splendor. Thank you Ms. Marigold.”
Marigold smiles in response to Silver casting the assurance her way “You can just call me Marigold or Mari for short, Ms. Spoon. But I am so glad you are both pleased.
“Very well, Mari. It is nice to meet you.” Diamond shakes the mares hand “and please call me Diamond.. or DT for short.” she chuckles “No need to stand on ceremony here.” she assures graciously.
“And I would most prefer it if you would refer to me as Silver.” she adjusts her glasses and then shakes the mare’s hand “I am very pleased to meet you as well, Mari.” Silver turns to Diamond, “I will go see to it Mr. Snowflake fetches our luggage up here in short order.” She nods to Diamond and heads out back to the limo to direct her mistress’s other servant.
Downstairs, Snowflake has all the luggage already, being a powerful stallion he has no problem carrying all this stuff, "Ms. Spoon, care to lead me to your new room." Silver nods in response,”This way and thank you.” She leads him to the dorm. “Just drop the bags on the bed.” she instructs and slips him a 5 B$t tip once he is done. ”For your trouble Mr. Snowflake. On behalf of my mistress, thank you again.” she bows slightly.
Snowflake takes the tip with a bit of a blush, "Mr. Riche pays me very well to take care of you two, but the gesture is greatly appreciated." He tips his cap and turns to leave.
Diamond smiles wryly as she closes and locks the door behind him, "Well, we are finally alone Spoony." she crooks her finger wryly in invitation. Silver lets out a sigh of relief in response.
“Oh I thought they would never leave!” Silver drops her polite act and collides with Diamond, pressing her against the door, forcing her tongue past her mistress’s sweet pink lips, moaning into it and running her hands down DT’s back toward the base of her tail. Diamond kisses her loving pet happily, "I've wanted to do that all day."
“I've been wanting to do that since we got on the plane!” Silver giggles with joy as she holds her beautiful mistress in her arms.
Diamond smiles tenderly and presses her nose to her loving Spoony's, "Shall we unpack? I happened to pack your collar and the leash as well." she offers, feeling Silver gasp at the thought of wearing her collar again.
Silver is reluctant to break the embrace but eager to get settled into her role, “Oh please allow me mistress.” She bows and heads for Diamond’s suitcase pulling out her silver plated steel slave collar and a chained leash and handing them to her mistress with reverence.
Silver drops to her knees and spreads her legs, her palms up on thighs and head bowed in submission, smiling. “I am ready, my mistress.” her smile broadens and she keeps her eyes downcast, staring at a single spot between her knees on the floor.
Diamond smiles and carefully removes Spoony's pearls, the collar she wore in public. She sets the pearls on the desk and brings the proper custom fitted steel and silver collar around, gently closing it about her slave’s throat, locking it in place around the back of her neck. Her braided mane securely conceals the locking mechanism that is recessed into the steel, making the collar appear seamless, and permanent.
Diamond deftly attached the clip of the chained leash to the single 0-ring set in front, and gives a gentle tug forward, eliciting a gasp and moan from Silver Spoon. She can feel herself getting wet under her mistress’s kind but firm dominance. The other end of the leash, Diamond loops around her right wrist, "Mmmmm, I've missed this feeling.” she coos as Silver remains silent and keeps her gaze lowered. In her head she answers “As have I, my love!”
“Continue unpacking, and please make up the bed." Diamond gently but firmly commands as she caresses the black leather loop around her wrist, binding her to her beloved pet.
Silver gets to her hooves quickly, “Yes mistress.” She goes to Diamond’s suitcases, leading her by the leash on her collar. Diamond greatfuly follows as a master is lead by her faithful dog. Silver begins putting away Her Mistress’s good clothes, keeping them neatly folded as she places them in the dressers. She works quickly, eager to shed her own garments and pleasure her loving and Precious Diamond.
As Silver begins to work, there is a knock on the door that causes Diamond to growl slightly at having their scene interrupted so soon. Silver pauses in her work, her blood runs cold, worried that somepony might come in and find means to blackmail her mistress or ridicule Diamond. She could care less if she herself were publicly humiliated. Or so she told herself.
Behind the door the sound of a female voice, muffled but cheerful, can be heard. "Hey, if you two want to catch a shower, it is free right now." the mystery mare offers.
Diamond turns to Silver and offers a smile for her pet, "Would you like to get a shower once you are done unpacking?"
Silver nods, “I would like that mistress.” she smiles as she begins again in earnest, putting away her master’s clothes. “May I continue to wear my collar as I wash you?” She blushes, “I am certain I can hide it till we get to the shower.”
Diamond smiles, “Yes, you may keep your collar on, but don’t hide it. I want to see something.”
Silver gulps nervously at her mistress’s command and yet she is excited as well at having her devotion for her displayed. She nods, “As you wish mistress. Um.. I take it you won't be using the leash?” She can feel herself moisten at the thought of crawling in the halls behind Diamond, with every pony staring and mocking her. She knows this would be unwise a course of action, but part of her desires it, “Infact I must insist we do not. You have a reputation to establish.” she smiles as she offers her advice, hoping she has not overstepped her bounds.
Diamond smiles and nods, knowing if she pressed hard enough, Silver would do anything for her. But she had no wish to bring shame to her best friend and lover anymore then she did to disgrace herself and her family. “Of course, though we may use the leash later, once we are settled in.” She smiles coyly, “Well then grab my shampoos and stuff and let’s get going.” Diamond commanded.
Silver nods and unclips the leash, leaving to fall slack and Diamond to pocket it for later. Silver fetches the exotic shampoos and conditioners from Diamond’s bag, eager to begin her duties in cleansing her beautiful mistress, “Ready to gooo!”, she sings and heads for the door nervously, opening it for her mistress, wondering if any pony will see her special collar and what they will think of it, or what she will say. Or should she allow Diamond to make an excuse?
Diamond smiles and steps out the door, letting her Silver follow her.
They don’t get more than a few feet when one mare, who was their age, stops and gasps as Silver’s collar gleams in the light of the hall, “Wow, that’s so pretty, your owner must really love you.” she offers with a pleasant smile as she stares at the expensive custom jewelry.
Silver stifled a gasp, blinks twice and nods, “She does indeed. Thank you.” she offers a sheepish grin and blushes under the mares appraising gaze. “I am always glad to like, represent my mistress, respectively.” She squees with joy, happy to be acknowledged, and not berated.
Another filly smiles to Diamond, “Wow, that’s a nice collar your marefriend is wearing, you should get her a leash to go with it.” she enthusiastically encouraged.
Diamond blushes and chuckles, “Well actually I do,” she pulls out the silver chained lead from her pocket “we just weren’t sure how everyone would react.”
At the sight of the leash, being displayed, Silver giggles and smiles sheepishly, “I am willing if you are.. mistress..” she adjusts her glasses nervously “I just didn't want to embarrass you.”
The filly who suggested the leash smiles, "You would be surprised. Actually half the stallions in this building are collared slaves to the mares here." she offers much to the shock and delight of the two mares.
Diamond smiles and actually feels like a weight of taboo has been lifted from her shoulders, "Spoony,” she smiles wryly at her mate as she attaches the Silver chain of the leash, lovingly, to the O-ring of her darling slave’s collar.
“I have a feeling life in this dorm is going to be better than I thought.”
