A Chiseled Tiara

"So what're we gonna do to earn our cutie marks today?" Applebloom asked Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

"We should totally take on skydiving!" Scootaloo said.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo confused.

"If ma countin' is right, we already skydived thirty-three times," Applebloom said.

"I mean we should try doing off of the cliff right there," Scootaloo said.

She pointed to a cliff the Crusaders had met up nearby.

"But I'm bored of skydiving!  Can't we try something else, like earn Minecraft related cutie marks?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Scootaloo and Applebloom sighed; Sweetie Belle seemed more obsessed with Minecraft lately.

"You blank flanks seriously want to earn your cutie marks from playing some lame video game?" Diamond Tara asked out of nowhere.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders moaned at the sight of the two well known bullies.  Diamond Tiara chuckled.  Silver Spoon, standing next to her, laughed next.  Scootaloo stood up tall, her tiny wings popping up in anger.

"What's the matter, Chinckenloo?  You gonna try and fly away?  Have you forgotten that you can't fly?" Diamond Tiara teased.

"Yeah, you should just give up, and not even bother trying to be like Rainbow Dash," Silver Spoon added.

Scootaloo felt her cheeks burn.  Her wings closed to her sides.  She was not going to rub in that she was a weak flier; not right now.  She stormed closer to the two wealthy bullies.

"You don't say anything like that about Rainbow Dash, got that?" she growled.

Diamond Tiara, not at all intimidated, scoffed.

"You seriously think you can scare me, dodo?  Rainbow Dash shouldn't treat you like a sister, but instead a failure!" she retorted.

Scootaloo backed up, having been offended by this statement.  Her ears fell.

Could this be true?  Could Rainbow Dash not find me as a good sister? she pondered.

Applebloom spoke up.

"Ya'll wouldn't know a loyal sister if she came up to ya and said yer names!"

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were quite surprised by Applebloom standing up for herself and her friends like that.  Silver Spoon, having not insulted enough yet, spoke up next.

"Keep your mouth closed, you apple scented hayseed!"

This time Applebloom felt offended.  Sweetie Belle hugged her while Scootaloo had fire growing in her eyes.  She charged up to Silver Spoon and shoved her down she could.  Silver Spoon fell down onto her back, her glasses hitting the grass.

Diamond Tiara looked up at Scootaloo and grew enraged.  She stuck her face right into Scootaloo's.

"How dare you treat Silver Spoon like that, you pathetic hen!" she snarled. "I'll have my daddy and her daddy speak with you, and your oh so precious Rainbow Dash, too!"

"SHUT UP!!" Scootaloo yelled. "ALL YOU TWO EVER DO IS TEASE US TO NO END!!"

"Scootaloo!  Calm down!" Sweetie Belle cried feeling tears.

But Scootaloo was mad at the entire world right now as long as Diamond Tiara lived on it.  She vented some more.

"WE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU...YOU...MALEFACTORS!!" she screamed with fire in her eyes.

Diamond Tiara felt tears of hurt sting her eyes.  She could not stand being yelled at by anypony.  She stared into Scootaloo's flaming lavender colored eyes.

"DON'T YOU DARE EVER YELL AT ME!!  I'LL HAVE MY DADDY PUNISH YOU GOOD!!" she shouted with her own cheeks turning red.

Silver Spoon had backed up right next to Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, who wanted to go in and stop Scootaloo, but she could grow very dangerous if she got angry enough.  The same applied to Diamond Tiara, so Silver Spoon just bit her lip and prayed for this fight to end soon.

"I'LL YELL AT WHENEVER THE BUCK I WANT TO!!  I'LL HAVE RAINBOW DASH BUCK YOU INTO THE NEXT GALAXY!!" Scootaloo screeched.

If looks could kill, then Scootaloo's stare into Diamond Tiara's eyes would have made the rich filly burst into flames or maybe explode.  Diamond Tiara decided to try one more defense.

"AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FAILING AT FLYING, AS WELL AS EARNING MY CUTIE MARK!!" she shrieked.

Silence.

Scootaloo's pupils shrunk to the size of beads, and the other fillies were starting to tremble.  Tears of searing rage finally flooded Scootaloo's eyes.  She absolutely snapped.

Suddenly, she gave Diamond Tiara the biggest push anypony could manage.  Diamond Tiara barely had time to react in anyway as she teetered closer to the cliff's edge.  Finally, everything seemed to go in slow motion as Diamond Tiara begin the long fall down the cliff, screaming her lungs out all the while.

Scootaloo gasped.  Taken aghast by what she had just done, she rushed over the the cliff's edge and peered down.

THUD!!

Diamond Tiara hit the ground sending the echo throughout the entire canyon at the bottom of the cliff.

Silver Spoon was hysterical.

"SCOOTALOO, YOU KILLED DIAMOND TIARA!!  YOU FREAKING KILLED HER!!" she yelled at Scootaloo.

Scootaloo felt like a monster.  She deeply regretted what she had done: killing Diamond Tiara; Silver Spoon was right.

"I-I didn't m-mean t-to," she stuttered, regret taking place of her previous anger.

"DIDN'T MEAN TO?!!  IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!!" Silver Spoon shouted.

"I s-said I-I didn't mean to!" Scootaloo said not able to raise her voice much anymore.

"Where is Diamond Tiara, anyway?" Applebloom asked in a frenzy. "The cliff goes so far down it's hard to see what's at the bottom!"

"We must go find her!  She could still be alive!" Sweetie Belle said.

Hope suddenly filled the fillies' hearts.  They raced all around trying to find a slope to the bottom of the cliff.
