Diamond Tiara is easily the most popular pony in her class, and definitely the wealthiest. Her closet is full of all the newest trends and her family runs a well known business that nets money from places that aren't even in Equestria, but she isn't exactly very clever.

Silver Spoon, on the other hand, is not at all fashionable and her family is the opposite of 'high-class.' She is very clever, though, and her and Diamond get along surprisingly well, but Silver sometimes feels a little...like she's having to work to let Diamond be her best friend.

So when an art competition comes up and both of the fillies decide to participate, Silver has to decide whether she'll let her love for art shine through or hold back so Diamond's parents will be satisfied.
