Apple Bloom decides to come up with the biggest revenge she could ever think of on Diamond Tiara.
Set during the events of “Flight to the Finish”, Diamond Tiara has pushed Apple Bloom far enough by making fun her friend, Scootaloo, for her inability to fly. To settle the score, Apple Bloom decides to come up with a prank that Diamond Tiara would never forget. Unfortunately, she would soon have to realize that actions can have severe consequences and that there are other ways to solve problems.
This is a “what if” story, where instead of just trying to help cheer Scootaloo up, Apple Bloom decides to get revenge on Diamond Tiara to teach her a lesson about bullying.
Warning: This story contains several serious accidents involving the runs! Read at your own risk!
Apple Bloom looked at Scootaloo, who was still feeling depressed after what Diamond Tiara said to her about being unable to fly. Next week was the contest and Scootaloo was determined to learn how to fly.
Apple Bloom was determined to make Diamond suffer the consequences.

As the lunch bell rang, Apple Bloom walked outside and saw Diamond taking a seat on a lunch table with Silver Spoon accompanying her.
You’re about to pay, Apple Bloom thought.
Once the two bullies left the table and started poking fun on Scootaloo’s wings, Apple Bloom walked to the table and pulled a bottle of laxatives out of her saddlebag. She picked up Diamond’s canteen bottle of water and poured half of the bottle in it. As she closed the canteen, she giggled. Then she shook the canteen a few times and then walked away from the table and watched Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon go back to their lunches and resume eating.
Oh, this is going to be so fun, Apple Bloom thought, as she watched Diamond drink out of her canteen.
* * * *
Once the bell rang, everypony went back to class. As Apple Bloom walked back to class, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo walked towards her.
“Hey Apple Bloom,” Sweetie Belle said. “Where’ve you been?”
“Just eating my lunch,” Apple Bloom said.
“Well, are you ready to take that science test?” Scootaloo asked.
“Ah sure am,” Apple Bloom said.
The three fillies walked back inside. As class resumed, Apple Bloom took a brief look at Diamond, who was taking her pencil out to start the test as soon as it was passed out to her.
“Okay class,” Miss Cheerilee said. “It’s time for the science test. I hope you all studied because it will do a big impact on your grade.”
As Cheerilee was talking, Diamond grabbed her stomach and groaned in pain.
“Uh, Miss Cheerilee,” she said. “I’m not feeling so good.”
“Nice try, Diamond Tiara,” Miss Cheerilee said. “But that won’t fool me. Snips tried that once and he was really just trying to skip the test so he could enjoy the day all to himself.”
“No, really!” Diamond shouted. “My stomach hurts and I really need to—”
All of a sudden, Diamond let out a long fart and some wet excrement, which splattered all over her desk chair and on the floor. Several students screamed, including Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, while Apple Bloom managed to hide her laughter.
“Uh…” Diamond Tiara began as her cheeks turned red. “I didn’t…I need to—”
Diamond stopped what she was saying when her stomach let out more diarrhea, causing her to be thrown to the ceiling as poop splattered all over her desk. Part of the ceiling broke off as a result.
“Diamond Tiara!” Cheerilee shouted in concern.
“Can somepony help me?” Diamond gasped. “I need to—”
She let out some more diarrhea. Unbeknownst to her, Silver Spoon was standing next to her ready to take her to the nurse, only for Diamond Tiara to spin around and spray poop all over her.
“Gah!” she shouted. “It’s in my mouth!”
“Help, please!” Diamond pleaded.
Lots of diarrhea splattered all over the place, this time splattered all over Cheerilee and most of the students. As this happened, Diamond was thrown to the ceiling again and then spun around all over the place. By the time the ordeal was over, everywhere and everypony, except for Apple Bloom and Pipsqueak, both of which were hiding under Miss Cheerilee’s desk, was covered in poop.
Diamond was crying heavily, while covered in her own waste. Even though the diarrhea finally stopped, she was broken down from what had just happened to her. Scootaloo wiped her face off with a cloth and walked up to Diamond Tiara, who was shivering.
“There, there,” she told her. “Miss Cheerilee, can I take her to the nurse’s office?”
“That’s fine, Scootaloo,” Miss Cheerilee said.
Scootaloo led Diamond to the nurse’s office, while leaving a trail of wet poop on the floor. Diamond looked at Scootaloo.
“Why are you helping me?” she asked her.
“Because what just happened was wrong,” Scootaloo told her.
“You’re helping me, even though I made fun of you over your inability to fly?”
“I was upset at you. But suffering explosive diarrhea is undeserving, no matter what. All that matters is that you need help.”
Diamond hugged Scootaloo.
“Thank you, Scootaloo,” she told her.
“No problem,” Scootaloo said. “Nopony deserves to be humiliated like that.”
As soon as they made it to the nurse’s office, Diamond felt her stomach churn and she let out more wet poop, which sprayed all over the wall.
“Bleh,” Scooaloo responded to what had just happened.
“Sorry,” Diamond said.
“It’s okay. I know you can’t help it.”
“I’m sorry for all the times I have made fun of you. Regardless of whether or not you ever learn how to fly, you’ll find your path.”
“Thanks, Diamond Tiara. Want to be friends?”
“Sure.”
* * * *
Meanwhile, Apple Bloom was in the principal’s office with Miss Cheerilee accompanying her.
“I found this in your desk,” Miss Cheerilee said, as she pulled the laxative bottle out. “What were you thinking?!”
“Ah…” Apple Bloom stuttered. “Ah did it because…Diamond Tiara made fun of Scootaloo for being unable to fly and Ah wanted to teach her a lesson.”
“By poisoning and humiliating her in class?” Cheerilee responded. “That’s totally not right! You could’ve seriously hurt her. Silver Spoon had to go to the hospital to have her stomach pumped because of the feces that went in her mouth. You should’ve told me and I could’ve sort things out.”
“Ah’m sorry,” Apple Bloom said.
“Unfortunately, that’s not going to cut it,” the principal said. “I’m going to have to suspend you for a week.”
“Ah understand,” Apple Bloom said.
She walked out of the principal’s office with her head down. She knew that she would be in even more trouble when she gets home. But nevertheless, she decided that it would be best to not hide from what lies ahead of her.
If Ah could just go quiet, she thought. Maybe Ah can…
“APPLE BLOOM, GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!” Applejack shouted.
Uh oh, Apple Bloom thought, as she walked toward Applejack, who was in the living room.
“Miss Cheerilee told me what had happened!” Applejack continued. She then took a whip and whacked Apple Bloom on the side.
“OW!” she yelped.
“Explain why you did that?!” Applejack demanded, as she whipped her again.
“OW!” Apple Bloom yelped again. “She made fun of Scootaloo for her inability to fly. She has also done several other bad things to me and mah friends. She kept on callin’ us ‘blank flanks’. She called Granny Smith a ‘kooky old lady’ during her family appreciation speech. She forced us to write juicy stories and go bah the name, Gabby Gums and threatened to show embarrassin’ photos of us if we didn’t do as we were told bah her. She even got Babs Seed on her side briefly. Ah just couldn’t take it anymore! Nopony would do anythin’ about it, so Ah had to teach her a lesson.”
“Bah poisonin’ her with laxatives and makin’ her suffer violent diarrhea that caused her to be shot up to the ceilin’ twice and hurt her head, as well as gettin’ everypony else covered in feces?” Applejack stated. “You didn’t just hurt Diamond Tiara. You hurt everypony else! Silver Spoon is now in the hospital gettin’ her stomach pumped and the whole classroom needs to be cleaned up.” Applejack then whipped Apple Bloom three more times. “You need to resolve your problem with Diamond Tiara. She is the daughter of a stallion that runs business with our business.”
“But she'll kill me,” Apple Bloom said. “She's probably coming up with a plan to get her revenge on me as we speak.”
“Ah know how you feel,” Applejack said, as she whipped Apple Bloom again. “But you have to fix this! You need to spend some time with her. You should also get to know more about her family.” She then whipped Apple Bloom again.
“OW!” Apple Bloom yelped. “Ah’ve met her father and he was a nice guy, but Ah’ve never met her mother.”
“Well, try to get to know about her. Maybe you can get things resolved if you meet both of her parents.”
“Okay, when should Ah go?”
“How about tomorrow,” Applejack said. “Tomorrow’s Saturday, so Ah think that would be the perfect day to go visit. Now wash up, dinner’s just about ready."
"Okay."
* * * *
The next morning, Apple Bloom walked out of her bed and downstairs. After eating breakfast, she picked up her saddlebags and walked to the front door.
"Are you ready?" Applejack asked.
"Ah am," Apple Bloom answered. "Did you inform the Riches?"
"Ah did. They'll be expecting you, so no taking detours."
"Ah understand. See ya, sis."
"Back at ya."
Apple Bloom walked out of Sweet Apple Acres and toward the Rich Manor. Once she arrived, she knocked on the door. Within a few moments, an old purple stallion answered it.
"Ah, yes," he said. "We've been expecting you. Come on it. Right this way."
Apple Bloom did as she was told and followed the old stallion in the mansion.
"By the way, my name is Randolph and I am the Riches' butler," the old stallion said.
"Mah name is Apple Bloom," Apple Bloom said. "Ah'm here because I kind of did something' bad and Ah need to pay for mah mistake."
"I understand," Randolph responded, as he opened to a bedroom. "Right this way."
Apple Bloom walked inside the bedroom and after rubbing her eyes, looked in shock at what she saw. Diamond Tiara was sitting on her bed wearing a diaper. There was also a changing table and a set of diapers next to it. She looked at the ground depressed.
"Her parents will be here soon," Randolph said. "For now, I need you to comfort her. She needs a lot of help. Right now, I have to clean up the kitchen, so I better hear that nothing bad happens."
Apple Bloom looked at the ground in sadness, as Randolph closed the door and left the two fillies inside the bedroom. Diamond looked at Apple Bloom in discomfort.
"I see you came by to apologize," she said.
"Yes," Apple Bloom said. "I really shouldn't have done that."
"Well, I don't know what to say, except now my life is ruined! All of the students are going to make fun of me for what had happened yesterday, except maybe for Scootaloo since she did help me get to the nurse's office. I can't participate in the Equestria Games contest." Diamond began to bawl. "I even have to wear a diaper because the laxatives are still inside me and are causing me to have violent diarrhea from time to time!"
"It's really that bad?"
"Of course it is! You don't know how much I had to go through to avoid any more problems!"
* * * *
Yesterday Afternoon
Diamond and Scootaloo were sitting on chairs next to each other in the school nurse's office. She sniffled a bit. Miss Cheerilee soon walked in.
"I'm sorry to say, but you can't participate on the Equestria Games contest," she told Diamond Tiara.
"What?!" Diamond exclaimed. "But why?!"
"Miss Cheerilee, you don't have to kick her off the contest because she made fun of me for being unable to fly," Scootaloo said.
"Actually, that's not the reason," Cheerilee stated. "The reason is because of your health, Diamond Tiara. The laxatives are still inside of you and will likely take a few days to completely exit out of your system."
"Well, that makes me feel a little better," Diamond said. "But either way, I feel that I deserve to be out of the contest. I've bullied the Cutie Mark Crusaders for a long time and feel that being kicked out of the contest and suffering the runs was karma for my bullying."
"Hey, I think we all learned a lesson about friendship," Scootaloo responded. "We need to all discuss our problems if we want to make up for all of the stuff that we have done to each other."
"Agreed," Cheerilee said.
Diamond grabbed her stomach.
"Ungh," she groaned. "I need to get to a bathroom!"
"Go on ahead," Cheerilee said, as Diamond ran out of the nurse's office. Unfortunately, lots of diarrhea blew out of her. "Uh, maybe we need to get something to prevent that from happening again."
Last Night
Diamond sat on her bed after cleaning herself up from three sets of diarrhea episodes that happened after school with a depressed look on her face. Before long, her parents came in.
"Uh, Diamond Tiara," her father, Filthy Rich, said. "We need to do something that you may not like. But it's for your own good."
"What is it?" Diamond asked.
"Just follow us," her mother, Spoiled Rich, said.
Diamond did as she was told. Her parents led her to the bathroom. In there were a set of diapers that looked to be able to fit Diamond's size. Diamond Tiara looked shocked upon seeing that.
"What?!" she exclaimed. "I have to wear those?!"
"Only for the weekend," Filthy said. "You've been having lots of violent diarrhea and we can't have any problems going on in or out of the house."
"But I'm not a baby!" Diamond shouted. "I'm a--"
All of a sudden, her stomach began to churn and she was sent flying to the ceiling of the bathroom with diarrhea shooting out of her.
"Ow!" Diamond yelped, as she fell back to the floor.
"See what we mean?" Spoiled said. "You just caused a huge mess in the bathroom."
Diamond sighed in defeat.
"I understand," she said.
With that said, Diamond let her parents diaper her.
* * * *
"Ah didn't know it was that bad," Apple Bloom said.
"Well, now you know," Diamond said. "I haven't been able to sleep a lot last night. I had to be changed three times!"
"Oh, Ah really did messed up," Apple Bloom said.
"To be honest though, I feel that I kind of deserved it," Diamond said. "I really shouldn't have made fun of--" Diamond Tiara grabbed her stomach and got up to get to a bathroom. She ran to the door. "Hold on, I need to get to a bathroom. It's really--ungh!" She stopped and made a violent fart and then blushed.
Apple Bloom looked at what was happening in shock.
"Ah really did deserve to be whipped last night," she said to herself.
"Never mind that," Diamond said. "I need to be--" She stopped and then let more diarrhea out. This caused her to be launched to the ceiling. After falling to the floor, she got launched to the wall as she let even more diarrhea out. Once she stopped letting out diarrhea (which, thankfully, was all blocked up by her diaper), she began bawling.
"There, there," Apple Bloom said. "I'll change your diaper."
Diamond got on the changing table and lay down as Apple Bloom put some disposable gloves on her front hooves and a nose plug on her muzzle. She quickly removed the diaper, threw it away, and cleaned everything up using wet wipes. Unfortunately, Diamond began straining.
"Heads up!" she shouted.
Apple Bloom looked at her confused but before she could act, wet feces blew out of Diamond Tiara and sprayed all over Apple Bloom's face.
"Gah!" she yelped. "Oh, come on!"
"Sorry," Diamond said in a rather ashamed tone.
"No, Ah understand. Ah did pour half a bottle of laxatives in that water canteen of yours."
"No wonder why I can't hold it in."
"Let's just start again."
Apple Bloom pulled some more wet wipes out and cleaned Diamond up again. This time, nothing happened afterwards and after using some foal powder, Apple Bloom placed another diaper on Diamond.
"There we go," Apple Bloom said, as she removed the gloves and threw them away. "Ah'm gonna wash my face and get all of this stuff off of me. Just don't have anymore accidents."
"I'll try," Diamond responded.
Apple Bloom walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. After cleaning her face off, she sighed. She knew that she would have a lot of hard work to do today and that she could've avoided it had she just done something less cruel to Diamond.
Ah really should've just told Miss Cheerilee about Diamond's behavior toward me and mah friends, Apple Bloom thought, as she walked out of the bathroom and back into Diamond's bedroom. Once she arrived, she saw a stallion and a mare—one whom was familiar to her and the other whom she had never seen before.
"So, you're the one who poisoned our child?" Spoiled said.
"Well, yes," Apple Bloom said.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" Spoiled shouted.
"Now, now, hun," Filthy said. "Let's stay calm." He turned to Apple Bloom. "But she's right. How could you do such a thing?"
"She has been bullying me and my friends," Apple Bloom responded. "She even made fun of Scootaloo for her inability to fly."
"We understand," Filthy replied. "Miss Cheerilee told us and to be honest, I think having Diamond Tiara not being allowed to attend the Equestrian Games challenge was understandable. But to drug our daughter and make her suffer violent diarrhea is taking it way too far. Diamond Tiara, can you please step out for a moment?
"Okay, Daddy," she responded, as she left her bedroom.
"Right now, we're here to give you a list of things you need to do for our daughter," Filthy said.
He handed a list of things to help his daughter out to Apple Bloom.
What Diamond Tiara Needs
1. Give her the medication that she needs to pump out the laxatives every three hours. 2. Make sure that she only eats food that will help tighten her bowel movement. It will be in the kitchen. 3. Change her diaper whenever she uses it.
"You think she's some foal?" Apple Bloom questioned after she read the list. "All of this looks like Ah'm babysitting one."
"Of course not," Filthy said. "She read the list and understood the situation. Just make sure that she's okay. Diamond Tiara, you can come back in now."
Diamond Tiara did as she was told.
"Just remember: if you hurt our daughter, I'll make you suffer so horrifically that you will feel it for the rest of your life," Spoiled reminded Apple Bloom.
"Calm down, hun," Filthy said.
"Ah understand, Mrs. Rich," Apple Bloom said. "Ah Pinkie Promise."
"Good," Spoiled replied. "Now then, we have a meeting to go to, so we won't be back until around 6:00 PM. Randolph is going to be in the mansion for the duration of the day, so don't even think about trying to leave."
"Ah promise," Apple Bloom said.
With that said, the parents left. Apple Bloom turned to Diamond and sat next to her on her bed.
"Thanks for changing me," Diamond said.
"Well, Ah didn't really have much of a choice," Apple Bloom responded. "Ah don't want this whole place to smell terrible and besides, Ah deserved it. Ah deserved the punishment." She placed her hoof on Diamond's shoulder. "Look, maybe we can still be friends. I mean, we both did wrong to each other. Why don't we start over?"
"I guess that can work."
"Is there anything Ah can do for you?"
"How about we work on homework. After all, it is due on Monday, so why not get it done now so that we don't have to worry about later on?"
"Ah guess you're right."
The two fillies lay on the bed and began working on their homework, which involved Math, History, and Grammar. Within about an hour, they were both finished and placed their books in their saddlebags.
"Okay, now what do you want to do?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Why don't we--" Diamond began, but stopped when she felt her stomach start to hurt. "Oh no, not again. Apple Bloom, please hold me down."
"Ah understand," Apple Bloom responded, as she held Diamond to the floor. Within a few seconds, Diamond let out a long wet fart and made the whole room smell terrible.
"Sorry."
"No, Ah understand. Come on, let's get you changed."
Apple Bloom placed Diamond on the changing table, cleaned her up, and placed another diaper on her.
"There we go," Apple Bloom said. "So, what did you want to do?"
"How about we go have some lunch," Diamond said. "Randolph is cooking some food that will hopefully help fix my bowel movement."
"T.M.I."
"Sorry, just needed to tell you that the food may not be exactly the same as you may eat back at home."
"Ah understand."
The two fillies walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where Randolph had peanut butter and banana sandwiches ready for them.
"So, this is what we'll be eating today?" Apple Bloom asked, as she and Diamond took their seats.
"Yes," Randolph responded. "It's to help Diamond Tiara with her stomach."
"Ah see," Apple Bloom said.
"Enjoy," Randolph said, as he left the kitchen.
As the two fillies ate their sandwiches, Apple Bloom kept thinking about what Diamond's life was like. Curious to know, she turned to her.
"Diamond, what is yer life with yer family like?" Apple Bloom asked her.
"It's kind of...complicated," Diamond responded. "My father is very kind and helps me out with a lot of my problems, but my mother is very bossy and constantly wants everything to be perfect. She can be very nasty at times."
"Are you sure? She seemed to actually care about you when she called me out for poisonin' ya."
"Well, that was only after what had happened did she feel concerned for my safety. That was probably the first time in a long time that she showed some love toward me."
"Ah'm sorry to hear about how she treats ya."
"It's okay, Apple Bloom. Everything's going to be fine."
"Well, gettin' to learn about our lives can hopefully help fix our relationship toward each other."
"I agree."
Before long, the fillies finished their sandwiches, left the table, and walked back upstairs. As they got upstairs, however, Diamond grabbed her stomach and groaned in pain.
"Hold on a second," she said. "I'll be right back."
Diamond began sweating and tried to run to the bathroom. Before she could get there, however, she let a long wet fart and soiled her diaper, causing her to blush and shed a tear.
"It's okay, Diamond," Apple Bloom said. "Ah got ya. Let's go change yer diaper."
After Apple Bloom changed Diamond, the two fillies walked to Diamond's bedroom and sat on the bed. Apple Bloom pulled out a pilled and showed it to Diamond.
"Okay, Diamond," Apple Bloom said. "It's time for you to take this."
"Is that the pill that my parents told you to give to me?" Diamond asked. "This better not be another laxative prank!"
"Don't worry, it's not. Here, take this dixie cup of water and use it to swallow the pill."
Apple Bloom gave Diamond the cup and she drank it in one gulp and swallow the pill at the same time.
"You feeling okay?" Apple Bloom asked.
"A little bit better," Diamond answered, as she began to yawn. "I think I need a little nap. All of those accidents have made me tired and besides, I only got three hours of sleep last night."
Diamond got in the covers of her bed and quickly fell asleep. Apple Bloom, feeling worried for Diamond's health, decided to join in with her nap and got in the covers.
"Ah'll keep ya safe, no matter what," Apple Bloom said. "That's what friends are for."
Apple Bloom opened her eyes an hour later. She felt drowsy and wanted to fall back asleep, but a foul smell overcame her.
"Oh no," she said, looking at Diamond Tiara, who had a dirty diaper, but was still asleep. Deciding to get the diaper change over with, she shook Diamond to wake her up. "Hey Diamond, wake up! You need a diaper change!"
Diamond looked at her with a drowsy face.
"What do you want?" she asked, but then smelled the foul smell. "Oh no, it happened while I was asleep!"
"Don't worry," Apple Bloom said as she helped Diamond up. "I'll change you."
After doing so, the two fillies walked downstairs and into the living room.
"Anythin' ya wanna do?" Apple Bloom asked.
"I was hoping to visit Silver Spoon in the hospital," Diamond responded. "She had her stomach pumped because she accidentally ate my waste."
"Oh, right," Apple Bloom said. "But what about wearing a diaper? Won't ponies stare at ya if ya go there under that state?"
"Oh yeah," Diamond responded in an annoyed tone.
"Plus, didn't your parents tell me that you have to stay home until you're better?" Apple Bloom asked. "Ah'm sure that they care about your health."
"Yeah," Diamond answered. "But my mother doesn't care if I get humiliated. She only wants me to do things the way she wants me to do them."
"Ah'm sure that deep down she does care about you," Apple Bloom said.
"You have no idea," Diamond said angrily. "You don't even have a mother!"
"She died when Ah was little!" Apple Bloom responded angrily. "She loved me dearly!"
"At least I have a mother!" Diamond retorted. "Your mother died before you could truly remember her!"
What Diamond just said made Apple Bloom's eye twitch.
"Oh..." she began. Then, out of nowhere, she tackled Diamond to the floor and placed her on her lap. "Yer gonna git it! Ah don't know how yer mother punishes you for badmouthing others, but mah family definitely doesn't tolerate it! If Ah get spanked for saying mean things, Ah don't see why you shouldn't be!"
"No!" Diamond pleaded. "You can't do that to me! My parents will find out and you'll get in big trouble for hurting me!"
"Oh, but Ah'll tell them that you said that cruel remark about mah mother!" Apple Bloom retorted.
"I'm not your child!" Diamond shouted. "Or even your sister! Do you know how much legal trouble you'll get into for assaulting me?!"
"Legal trouble for assaulting you?" Apple Bloom responded in an annoyed tone. "Ah've already done that to ya when I pour half of a bottle of laxatives in your water canteen! That's way worse than spanking you!"
"No!" Diamond screamed, realizing that there was no way out of the situation that she was in.
However, despite of the situation Diamond was in, she never felt Apple Bloom whack her, or even pull her diaper down to do so. Instead, she placed her down on the floor.
"Fortunately, Ah wasn't ever plannin' to spank ya," Apple Bloom said.
"Then why did you do all of that?" Diamond asked worriedly.
"To scare ya," Apple Bloom responded with a glare. "Ah wanted ta teach ya a lesson about sayin' the wrong things to the wrong ponies. Consider yerself lucky. Next time, Ah won't be so easy on ya!"
Diamond looked at Apple Bloom in fear. Apple Bloom's facial expression scared her.
"Fine, I'm sorry," Diamond said after taking a deep breath.
"Apology accepted," Apple Bloom responded. "Ah hope you learned yer lesson."
"I did," Diamond said in defeat as she let out a wet fart, causing her to blush. "Oops."
Apple Bloom sighed.
"Let's just get this over with," she said as she walked Diamond to the changing room.
After Apple Bloom changed Diamond, she walked back to the living room with her.
"How exactly does your mother punish you?" Apple Bloom asked Diamond.
"You have no idea," Diamond responded. "She constantly berates me for anything minor mistake that I make. Even if I'm a second late for something, she grounds me. One time, I tried to explain why I was late and I got spanked afterwards!"
"What?!" Apple Bloom responded in shock.
"Yeah," Diamond said. "Daddy won't do anything about it because she always manages to hide her true colors towards him."
Apple Bloom was shocked.
"Ah don't know what to say," Apple Bloom responded. "Other than the fact that now Ah feel even more awful about poisonin' ya. Ah wish Ah had known. Ah could'a helped ya."
Upon hearing those words, Diamond went up to Apple Bloom and hugged her. Tears fell out of her face. Apple Bloom returned the hug.
"You had no idea how long I had to hold that in," Diamond cried. "Mother always told me that crying shows how weak I am!"
"Yer not weak," Apple Bloom said. "Tell ya what, how about we do what you want to do for the rest of the day."
"You really mean it?" Diamond whimpered.
"Ah mean it," Apple Bloom confirmed.
"Uh, okay," Diamond sobbed. "How about we swing on my swing set?"
"Sure," Apple Bloom said happily as she and Diamond walked to the backyard.
