A Chiseled Tiara

Sure enough, Diamond Tiara's funeral was held the next day.  The funeral's location was nearby a beautiful forest: the forest that Diamond Tiara and Filthy Rich had enjoyed taking walks in for years.  This special forest housed the brightest green leaves on trees and the most cheerful animals.  Surprisingly, Fluttershy had only been their twice.

At the funeral, Filthy Rich was just beginning to give a speech.

"When Diamond Tiara was first born, I knew she was perfect just by looking at her for the first time.  My wife sadly died soon after her birth, though, so I swore to take care of Diamond Tiara in the most special way possible.  She barely knew her mother, so I insisted on being the best dad ever," he announced.

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo listened to Filthy Rich's speech sadly.  Rainbow Dash's best friends had also attended this funeral.  Applebloom and Sweetie Belle both stood next to Scootaloo having shown up, too.  Sweetie Belle was sniffling a lot, and Applebloom tried to comfort her like a good friend would.

"I'll admit, Diamond Tiara had always been picky, but she was most of the time sweet as could be to me," Filthy Rich continued. "She wanted things her way, and I guess I was careless enough to give her everything she had wanted."

This was very true; Filthy Rich had spoiled Diamond Tiara to the point of her thinking that she was better than everypony else.

"I think I've said all that I need to say," Filthy Rich concluded.

He then went down to the crowd of ponies that were kind enough to show up for this sad occasion.  Rainbow Dash looked down to Scootaloo but found her missing.

"Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash called.

Rainbow Dash then saw Scootaloo about to give a speech.  She smiled and listened.

"Diamond Tiara and her best friend, Silver Spoon, had always bullied me, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle," Scootaloo started pointing to the other Cutie Mark Crusaders. "But their teasing got the best of me and I...pushed Diamond Tiara off a cliff's edge, leading to this.  I'm so sorry, everypony."

Many ponies began chattering at once in the crowd.  Some scowled at Scootaloo for her wrong doing, but others appeared sympathetic from the fact that Scootaloo apologized and looked so guilty.

"Again, I'm very sorry.  I never wanted to do this.  Not one little bit.  All of you may call me a monster all you want, because that's what I truly am," Scootaloo said.

Rainbow Dash felt somepony's wing wrap around her.  She turned to see Fluttershy with tears in her aqua colored eyes.

"S-so Scootaloo did th-this?  B-but I thought she w-was an angel," Fluttershy sniffled.

"Well, Fluttershy, nopony can be an angel all the time," Rainbow Dash replied.

Then Rainbow Dash herself felt tears fill her dark magenta colored eyes.  Her ears fell flat.  Scootaloo was still giving a speech about her mistake.  When she was done, she came up next to Rainbow Dash.  Rainbow Dash wrapped a periwinkle wing around the small pegasus' body.  Scootaloo looked up at her idol.  She knew that she was still disappointed in her.

I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, cutie Mark Crusaders, Filthy Rich, everypony else.  Can you ever forgive me? Scootaloo thought bitterly.

Though Scootaloo felt worse: she could not forgive herself no matter what, and she would never ever forgive herself.  Never ever.  But at the same time, she knew that she did not mean what she did, and that the same thing could happen to different ponies.

Scootaloo smiled.  No matter what Diamond Tiara did in the past, this was no way to stop her.  Scootaloo knew that.  Her flank shown a bright white light.  A pair of angel wings and a halo adorned it, signaling Diamond Tiara safe up above, she caused it to happen, and she was sorry.

Friendship truly is magic.
