“Why won’t you leave me alone?” the small voice screamed, running from her tormentor.

“What’s the matter, blank-flank?” the tormentor followed close behind. “Did the widdle bwank-fwank get upset because I waffed at her singing?”

“Go away, Diamond Tiara. I’ve never done anything to you.”

Diamond Tiara laughed as she chased Sweetie Belle down the alley way. “Your very existence is what happened to me. Why should I have to put up with someone like you.

“Your singing. Your crying. Your stupid friends and their stupid crusades.”

“Leave me alone,” Sweetie Belle sobbed. She burst out onto the street.

Diamond Tiara stopped short. A brown stallion was screaming out for help, holding something in his forearms. Ponies were running towards the overturned cart. Diamond Tiara looked on the crumpled body lying in the stallions hooves.

“Please, I didn’t see her. Oh Celestia, please, someone help.”

More ponies arrived on the scene.

“She ran out, I didn’t see her in time. Oh Celestia no, please,” the brown stallion was in complete panic. “She ran out from that alley.”

Multiple tear stained, shocked eyes turned towards Diamond Tiara. She ran.
