Minus One - A MLP:FIM Fan Fiction

“Good morning little ones.” Miss Cheerliee said.

“Good morning Miss Cheerliee.” The class responded.

“Now, I all know you've heard of...well, Saturday.” Miss Cheerliee said.

Applebloom began to felt sick. The one thing she had to mention and it had to be Scootaloo's death.

“The funeral will be this Friday at 11:00am, and Scootaloo's parents have invited us to the funeral. Since all of you knew her well, we will be going as a whole class.” Mrs Cheerliee explained.

The classroom door suddenly opened to reveal Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who were arguing.

“I told you that path would get us lost!” Diamond Tiara whined.

“Oh shut up Diamond!” Silver Spoon grumbled.

“Girls, your late.” Miss Cheerliee spoke firmly.

“Sorry, Miss. Unfortunately, SOMEONE got us lost on the way here.” Diamond Tiara sarcastically said.

“Hmmpt!” Silver Spoon exclaimed, and walked to her desk.

Soon everyone was seated and Miss Cheerliee continued.

“Well, as I was saying, we are all going to Scootaloos funeral tomorrow. Make sure you are at the schoolhouse half and hour before we go.” Miss Cheerliee said.

“Who would want to go to that “blank flanks” funeral part anyway?” Diamond Tiara jeered.

Applebloom ignored her. She was just trying to trigger an reaction.

“Tiara, enough.” Mrs Cheerliee said “Now, lets begin with basic mathematics. 4X7 equals?”

“I don't know Miss, this question is too easy.” Diamond Tiara sniggered “How about a harder question?”

“What do you think then?” Miss Cheerliee asked.

“Like, for example; how much time would a train driver have to react to a pony on the line?”

“TIARA-” Miss Cheerliee was interrupted by Applebloom.

“I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OR I WILL SHUT IT MYSELF!” Applebloom yelled.

“Ha! Like anypony cared for that loser!” Diamond Tiara laughed.

Applebloom flipped her desk and quickly walked to Diamond Tiara's desk.

“Applebloom, don't give her th-”

Miss Cheerliee didn't get a chance to finish her sentence. Applebloom pushed Diamond Tiara off her chair and sent her falling to the floor. She then pinned her to ground and began punching Diamond Tiara with all her might. Diamond Tiara began to gain bruises and her nose began to bleed.

“Stop! Please! I'm sorry! Get off me!” Diamond Tiara protested as she was punched from left to right.

Miss Cheerliee ran over and grabbed Applebloom, who was kicking and screaming, trying to get back to Diamond Tiara.

“GET OFF ME!!” Applebloom screamed as she was dragged out of the room.

Miss Cheerliee removed Applebloom from the room and let her go.

“Cant you see what she was doing Miss?!” Applebloom screamed.

“Yes, but-”

“BUT WHAT?! Do you think I would let that...that...MONSTER pick on her like that?!” Applebloom protested.

Applebloom slowly fell back towards the wall and hid herself in her forelegs and began to cry.

“Wait here, I'll sort out Tiara.” Miss Cheerliee said and walked back in the classroom.

Diamond Tiara was wiping the blood off her nose with an handkerchief. Miss Cheerliee then entered the classroom. Miss Cheerliee walked over to Diamond Tiara's desk and gave her a uncomfortable stare, which of course, made Diamond Tiara uneasy.

“How could you be so cold hearted!” Miss Cheerliee said loudly.

“It was just a jok-” Miss Cheerliee slammed her hoof on the desk, interrupting Diamond Tiara's speech.

“A JOKE?! DO YOU MAKING FUN OUT OF A DECEASED PONY IS A JOKE?!” Miss Cheerliee shouted.

Diamond Tiara said nothing.

“ I hope you feel ashamed of yourself!” Miss Cheerliee angrily said. She walked back to the door and left the classroom to attend to Applebloom.

Everyone stared at Diamond Tiara in a disgusted way.

“How could you be so mean?” One filly said.

“Yeah, your the loser round here.” Another said.

“You deserved that beating” Said another.

Diamond Tiara slumped down in her chair, her reputation in shreds.

Outside the classroom, Miss Cheerliee sat down by the weeping Applebloom.

“It's OK to be sad Applebloom. We all need to have a cry now and then.” Miss Cheerliee said, trying to comfort her.

“It just...just...just thinking of it just makes me want to cry more!” Applebloom wept.

Miss Cheerliee held Applebloom close to her, trying to comfort her.

“I understand how you feel.” Miss Cheerliee sympathetically said “I understand.”

And so they sat there, embracing each other for what felt like an eternity.

The rest of the school day was OK. Diamond Tiara had been sent home for the comment and Applebloom was able to continue the day with no problems.

As Applebloom walked home, Silver Spoon scurried up beside her.

“Hey Applebloom.” She said.

“Oh, so now you want to make more insults?” Applebloom said, walking quicker.

“No, not that. Please slow down so I can speak to you.” Silver Spoon called.

Applebloom slowed to a stop and Silver Spoon walked beside her.

“You know earlier on? About that...umm...scrape?” Silver Spoon asked awkwardly.

“I don't wanna talk about it.” Applebloom said with a sigh.

“Well the truth is...I don't wanna be Tiara's friend anymore. Not after what she said about Scootaloo. We may not of liked her, but she didn't deserve to die.” Silver Spoon explained.

Applebloom looked at her, surprise written all over her face.

“You mean that?” Applebloom said.

“With all my heart.” Silver Spoon repiled.

“Silver!” Shouted a familiar voice.

Applebloom and Silver Spoon turned there heads. It was Diamond Tiara, waiting impatiently for Silver Spoon.

“Why are you hanging out with “that” psycho?” Diamond Tiara said angrily.

“Hold on, I got this.” Silver Spoon said to Applebloom.

Silver Spoon walked up to Diamond Tiara and stared at her.

“Well, you don't how much that “psycho” is going through now! She just lost one of her best friends and all you can do is insult her? You make me just wanna punch you in the face right now!” Silver Spoon said angrily.

Diamond Tiara just gave Silver Spoon a scum look, which made Silver Spoon boil inside.

“Go on then. I bet yo-” Silver Spoon slapped Diamond Tiara round the face. Applebloom stared in complete shock. Diamond Tiara looked at Silver Spoon, tears welling in her eyes.

“I...I thought we were...friends.” Diamond Tiara slowly said.

“WAS.” Silver Spoon said and walked back to Applebloom.

“Are you sure you meant all that?” Applebloom said to Silver Spoon.

“One hundred percent.” Silver Spoon said.

And they both walked back to Ponyville, leaving a heart striken Diamond Tiara standing in the middle of the path, holding her head, and feeling sorrow with guilt.
