Payback
"For the last time, Diamond Tiara! I told you to quit it! Stop being so mean to my friends!" Apple Bloom objected.
"Ha, loser! You blank flanks don't even have a special talent or a cutie mark to show for it, so do you really think that I'm going to stop having fun because you tell me to?!" Diamond Tiara sneered and began to cackle Silver spoon also smirked but stayed quiet.
The cutie mark crusaders scowled at the pink pony filly.
"We don't need cutie marks! We just need you to be nicer to us!" Sweetie belle squeaked.
"Well, no cutie mark, no respect! Your not special, and your blank flank makes it sooo obvious!" Diamond Tiara giggled.
The cutie mark crusaders gasped. That was one of, if not the cruelest thing any pony had ever said to them.
"S-s- stop! Stop saying that!" Tears bubbled out from Sweetie Belle's eyes.
"That was so rude! Y-you cut it out!" Apple Bloom stammered furiously. She was both infuriated and intimidated.
"Stop it or else!" Scootaloo threatened. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon smirked and exchanged smug glances.
"Or else what?" Silver Spoon daringly stepped forward.
"Uh..." The cutie mark crusaders stuttered.
"Well, losers, since you're too dumb to threaten me,I have way more important things to do that to waste my time talking to you babies." Diamond Tiara pretentiously tossed her nose in the air and walked off. Silver Spoon agreed followed like a mindless duck.
"I'm so tired of her constantly teasing us!" Scootaloo growled. The rest of the cutie mark crusaders nodded in agreement.
"She can't always do this to us! We tell Ms. Cheerilee but she doesn't even do anything to her! Diamond Tiara needs a taste of her own medicine." Apple Bloom ranted. She pounded her hooves on the Ponyville soil and out puffed hot air from her nostrils.
"She needs..." Sweetie belle's voice trailed off as she began to choke her words. She was afraid to say it.
"She needs to be punished." Apple Bloom said bluntly and harsh. They all agreed. Diamond Tiara was unspeakably mean to them, and they were absolutely sick and tired of it.
"Well what do we do about it? We've been passive for far too long!" Scootaloo shook her head and muttered.
"We need help." Sweetie Belle didn't know the first thing about punishing Diamond Tiara. Sweetie Belle's usual punishment was just a strong talk since she was so sensitive. All three of the cutie mark crusaders both knew well that Diamond Tiara herself probably had never been punished, seeing that she was a completely spoiled brat.
"What pony was good at punishments? We're obviously not." Sweetie Belle asked numbly. The cutie mark crusaders thought hard about this. They didn't know any pony for sure that was good at punishing other ponies, so they relied on the darkest rumors of pay back they had ever heard.
"Well..." Scootaloo suggested. "What about Pinkie Pie?" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom looked irritably looked at her.
"You know she said those cup cake rumors were all just a lie." Sweetie Belle said.
"We gotta try!" Apple Bloom supported Scootaloo confidently. The three cutie mark crusading fillies ran over to Sugar Cube Corner after the school bell rang.
The ponies pushed open the sugar cube corner door, a bell jingled as they entered.
"Hello, girls, what can I help you with?" Mrs. Cake said affectionately as the fillies entered the Cafe.
"C-could we um... talk to Pinkie Pie?" Apple Bloom asked sheepishly. Mrs. Cake smiled.
"Of course, dearies." She turned to the stairs. "Pinkie Pie!" She called. The bright pink earth pony came bounding down the stairs playfully holding the baby cake twins.
"Hiya you three!" She giggled and smile brightly.
"Hi Pinkie Pie. We'd like to talk to you." Apple Bloom. Pinkie grinned and squinted.
"Talk right?" Pinkie's mane inflated a bit larger. The cutie mark crusaders backed up.
"Yep." Sweetie Belle began to shove the pink earth pony mare up the stairs of Sugar Cube Corner.
Apple Bloom slammed the door behind them.
"Okay-we-know-you-said-that-the-whole-cupcakes-rumor-was-fake-but-we-really-need-help-punishing-some-pony-so- PLEASE HELP US!" Sweetie Belle babbled as fast as lightning.
Pinkie Pie smiled and pat her hoof on the cutie mark crusader's heads.
"Okey Dokey Lokie! As long as you three hide the evidence!" Pinkie smiled and bounced off, singing a merry little tune.
The cutie mark crusaders exchanged freaked out glances then smiled deviously. they were going to show Diamond Tiara just what her bullying did to them.
The next day, the cutie mark crusaders braced them selves for some serious bullying. But instead of objecting and reacting like normal they all seemed to welcome Diamond Tiara's tormenting. Diamond Tiara was laughing at them like she did every day. Today she was making it as clear and as untactful as possible.
"I'm soooo much better than you cutie mark cry babies!" Diamond Tiara amused herself with her own sneering.
"Prove it then." Apple Bloom said bluntly. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon whipped their heads around from her cackling and looked shocked at Apple Bloom's calm objection.
"Excuse me?!" She hissed out furiously. The cutie mark crusaders gave a smug "u mad bro?" look at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"We challenge you to a cup cake eating contest, Diamond Tiara. A cup cake eating contest at sugar cube corner. Today!" Sweetie Belle teased. Diamond Tiara grumbled.
"Ugh! Well FINE! I'm going top win any ways! I win every thing!" She shouted and stormed off with mindless Silver Spoon at her heels.
"Every thing will go as planned." The three fillies said ominously.
That day, The three fillies had met Diamond Tiara at sugar cube corner.
"Ready... GO!" Pinkie Pie shouted. The fillies dug their ways into their cup cakes. Diamond Tiara began to cough. The cutie mark crusaders smiled demonically.
"What's wrong, Diamond Tiara? Too much?" Apple Bloom asked evilly. Diamond Tiara continued to choke until she passed out.
"Toss the chloroform cupcake. It's business time." Scootaloo said as they dragged Diamond Tiara down the basement stairs.
Much later, Diamond Tiara woke up, her vision was hazy but she could make out iron bars and the figure of Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom.
"What am I doing here?! Where am I?!" She wailed frantically.
"We are going to show you just how badly you hurt us!" Scootaloo snarled. Diamond Tiara gasped as the three fillies stepped into a faded ray of light. Sweetie was holding a glistening machete. Scootaloo had a chain saw. Apple Bloom had a whip with a metal end.
"Lets begin, shall we?" Scootaloo asked. The three fillies nodded in approval. Diamond Tiara shook her head wildly and backed up to the edge of her cage, begging them to free her.
"Loser!" Sweetie Belle shouted. Apple Bloom struck Diamond Tiara with the whip. She screamed.
"Blank Flank!" Scootaloo yelled. Apple Bloom whipped her again. Diamond tiara began to wail.
"Cry Baby!" Sweetie Belle shrieked. Apple bloom bashed open the cage. Diamond Tiara was shivering at the edge of it. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo closed in. A terrible crying plagued the air.

"Thanks Pinkie Pie! We cleaned up all the evidence!" The cutie mark crusaders said cheerfully.
"Your welcome! Have fun at school!" Pinkie Pie waved good bye happily.
"We will!" The fillies smiled warmly then grinned ominously.
"We'll bring more friends next time..."
