My day was a little interesting. It started out in my garage preparing to do my usual morning drives. I was being picky on if I wanted to use my Monte Carlo or my (ironically named) Mustang. I chose the Mustang and went on my drive. I usually drive around the countryside by Ponyville but for some strange reason I decided to drive towards town. As I drove past Cheeriliees school I noticed a little pink filly walking on the side of the road. I slowed down to not risk hurting her but I noticed something odd about her. She was covered in bruises and looked very upset. I wanted to stop but she quickly saw me and gave me a look that to me felt like a “please don't ask me why I'm like this” look. So I kept driving then noticed her house. It was a little distance from the school but what caught my eye was window with a mare looking out of it. I was guessing that was her mother. I pulled over a distance away and observed how she was giving a very angry look out towards the road, mainly towards the little filly. I kept watching until she noticed me and closed the curtain. Later that day I stopped at the school just as Cheerilee was locking up. I asked her about the filly and who she was. She said her name was Diamond Tiara and that she just changed to being nice to the others. Then I felt a change in her voice as she told me that she showed up bruised with dread on her face. Cheerilee said Diamond told her she fell down the stairs. In all my years as a EMT I've never seen injuries like that from falling down stairs. I drove by the house again and heard what sounded like muffled screams and sounds of something being hit. I'll contact Seoge tomorrow to see if he can visit for a little while. October 12 Segoe arrived this morning and agreed to stay awhile. Segoe was a private investigator for the Canterlot newspaper. I told him what happen yesterday and he seemed as nervous as I was. We drove by the house and saw Diamond walking towards school. She looked worse than before and was limping on her rear legs. But she looked happy and was carrying a brown paper bag. I stopped the car a distance from the school and walked with Segoe by a nearby tree surrounded by bushes. We sat there observing the school waiting if something would happen. Then Segoe tapped my shoulder and pointed his hoof towards the house and I saw the mare from before walking towards us. We ducked down looking through the bushes then heard what sounded like crying. We looked to see Diamond running towards the road hitting the mare in the process. My thoughts about the mother were almost about to be proven but Cheerilee and a gray filly ran towards them. I overheard the mom saying that she was having a difficult marriage and that's why Diamond was emotional. Difficult marriage my ass I thought. She's beating Diamond and lying about it. The only thing keeping me in the bush was Segoe holding me down. I might be decently strong but he is one heavy changling. Then I saw Diamond and her mother walking towards the house. I told Segoe to follow a distance while I talked to the teacher. I watched as Segoe transformed into a Pegasus and flew off then walked towards Cheerilee. I asked about what happened and she explained that Diamond was crying and ran off when she came by. Then she said she was worried about Diamond and that something was wrong. I thanked her and trotted back to my car. Just as I opened the door Segoe came running at me with a horror look on his face. “What happened? What's wrong?” I said with worry. “She is a terrible bitch! I got there and looked through the window to see her beating Diamond. She kept constantly hitting and hitting her. I….I….” Seoge was starting to tear up then I calmed him down. “We’ll go there tomorrow and talk to them to see what is happening.” He nodded in reply and we went back to the junkyard. October 13 We drove by again and noticed Diamond Tiara was nowhere to be seen. We stopped at the school and asked Cheeriliee if she saw Diamond. She told me that her mother said that she was not feeling well enough to go to school for a couple days. I left and went to her house. I knocked on the door and waited for somepony to answer. I waited for a few minutes until I knocked again. I knew somepony was in there because I heard hoofs walking. I knocked and tried calling for somepony but stopped when I heard the door locking in front of me. Later in town I ran into a stallion by the name of Filthy Rich, Diamond Tiara's father to my luck. I asked him if he was having a troubled marriage to which he looked confused. He asked where I got that idea from. I said I heard from a few ponies around town and saw that Diamond wasn't looking well. He said she fell down the stairs and is probably not feeling happy about it. We talked a little bit longer and before he left I handed him a card. I explained that I was a EMT and if there is any trouble to call me. I drove back to my trailer home and called Passion. Passion was a police officer for Cloudsdale and I asked if she could come down to talk with a pony. I explained the situation to her and she arrived a few hours later. Let's hope to Celestia for some luck tomorrow and to Diamond Tiara as well. October 15 What the fuck? For the past two days we have been fucked in this situation. Yesterday Passion went to their house and was insulted. Diamonds mother, who I found out is named Spoiled Rich, came out and went mad at Passion. She told her that she was a slut of a pony and should die in a fire. Then she slammed the door in Passions face. Today Segoe went by and came back with blood coming down his head. He said she dropped a flower pot from her window onto his head. I treated the mark and told them to get some sleep. We need to plan something fast. If we don't get Diamond Tiara out of there we will be in a big problem. October 18 We are so fucked. I have tried every way possible to get Diamond out of there. I can't keep going like this. We need to-......Hold on my phone's going off. I'll be back. October 19 HOLY FUCK!!! We did it!! We got Diamond Tiara away from her mother. Well….I shouldn't be celebrating yet. I'll explain what happened since last night. After my last entry I got a phone call from Filthy Rich. He was in a panic and told me to get to his house as fast as I could. After five minutes (and going three times the speed limit) I arrived to the house. He told me that his wife disappeared and he found his daughter beaten to a pulp. I entered her room to find her on the floor barely breathing. She was covered in bruises, cuts, and blood as well as the floor and some of the walls. I picked her up as gently as I could and put her on the stretcher in my truck. She's currently being treated at the hospital now and I'm in the waiting room. Passion is by her and her father now asking him questions. She will get in touch with the local law enforcement to do a search later. I might be awhile before I write another entry. October 26 Well after a week of treatment Diamond Tiara was checked out of the hospital today and is doing well. Thier house is still being looked at by the police so I offered them to stay at my place for awhile. They happily accepted and are now staying in my guest room next to mine. Passion is helping the local police with finding Spoiled Rich and Segoe went home to make a article in the newspaper. I've never felt so better before in my life. When they left the hospital her dad told her I was the one who helped her and is going to find her mother. She ran to me and…..hugged me. I was so shocked and noticed she was starting to cry. I returned her hug and took them to Sugarcube Corner for some treats. Well I'm about to go to bed. I have to modify some vehicles for off road traveling tomorrow so we can search for Spoiled Rich. Hold on somepony is at my door. I'll be back Well I'm really surprised. Diamond Tiara came to my room and asked if she could sleep in my bed with me. She said she felt safe by me and that her dad was okay with it. I thought for a second and let her in. I crawled into bed after her and she started to fall asleep, though she muttered to me that I was like her guardian angel. Well I'll be busy for a while so I check back later. Until then, this is the journal for Speedy Silverstreak and I am gone.
