I spent as much time with Silver Spoon as possible. I made an email account in case texting wasn't an option. Thank Celestia for modern technology; if it were even ten years ago, when I was a year old, I probably would've been stuck with writing a letter, or a flip phone. But of course, being Diamond Tiara, I upgrade my iPone every year.

My room was nothing but hardwood floor and pink walls. So empty. Cardboard boxes surrounded me. Soon the moving ponies would take the boxes and load them into their smelly old truck.

I still had a few hours, so I went to Silver to say my goodbyes. We hugged for a long time, and she told me that life would be so boring and lonely without me.

I felt the same.

Finally when it was time to go, I sat next to Dad in his new car.

"Don't press your face on the window glass." he reminded me, "It'll leave a print. I just got this car; I don't need it dirty yet."

I just mumbled and moved my head. Maybe I should have sat in the back of the car so I could sleep. We were moving two hours away; all the way in a place called Hooveston. It was next to a large city called Unicornia. I heard Unicornia had the best shops, even better than Manehatten, so at least that was one thing to look forward to; as if it wasn't obvious, I love fashion.

But I wouldn't live there, and I would be going to a school in Unicornia, so I'd have to take a bus. That'd take like, twenty minutes. But it was only July. Surely there was plenty of time to think about this later? I'd rather not stress myself out now. I already feel terrible enough. But I doubt things will get better; maybe even worse. But what else was there to think about? Maybe I could think about how much of a life I left back in Ponyville? How much of an experience I was forced to miss?

Really, the most positive thing to think about that'd actually keep my mind busy would be thinking about Unicornia schools. I could think about the shops, which would be the best thing to think about, but it was too simple to keep me busy; being a rich filly, I was never bored. But now I'm bored. It feels like torture. This is torture.

I checked the time. 2:13. We only left seven minutes ago. Ugh...

"Dad, can I play music?" I asked.

"Sure thing, sweetheart." Dad replied. There was my real daddy. He hadn't snapped at me and told me, "NO! MODERN KID MUSIC ISN'T HIP! BACK IN MY DAY IT WAS BETTER."

I turned the radio to my favorite station. Moving to a different place, I knew the radio stations would change. I'd have to find a new favorite.

A song played; I heard the song a hundred times already, I could sing it in my sleep. But I listened anyway.

The song ended, another came on. I set my mind to think about the songs.

This one was one of those extremely overused story-songs about a colt losing his mare. So what? Get over it. Find another mare. I never really got these songs.

Or when it's about "fun stuff". Oh come on, aren't you too busy having fun to sing a song? Really. I mean, they're catchy and all, but still. It's stupid.

Another song played, this was a One Deerection song. Just like any ordinary filly, I loved One Deerection. But right now I wasn't in the mood to sing along.

"Diamond?" my dad asked when he looked over.

"What?" I asked, annoyed.

"Look at this place. See that crystal statue there? We're going to pass by the Crystal Empire." he said.

I looked at the statue. It was pretty, but I didn't really care. Who cares about a stupid statue?

"We're not going through the empire, are we?" I asked.

Dad laughed, "No. They don't allow cars. Besides, going through the empire would just take longer."

"Daddy, I never even got to see our house yet. Is it big?" I asked, remembering our house in Ponyville and getting a sick feeling in my stomach.

"About the same size." he said, "Your room won't be as big, but I think you can work with it."

I moaned. Celestia, could this get any worse?!

Then my iPone made a dinging noise.

I forgot I had it. It was next to me. I pulled it out.

I got a text. From Silver.

Miss u already.

I responded back.

Me 2. My room wont be as big

I waited a minute, then it rang again. "Diamond, can you put it on silent?" Dad asked.

"Sure, whatever." I groaned.

All I wanted to do was text Silver, and Dad was being a huge jerk about it!

I put it on silent.

Thats rlly bad. Idk wat 2 do this summer

And we went back and forth.

Ikr. Ill b so bored

Also those stupid cutie mark crusaders are glad you r gone. Once they saw the moving truck and me w/out u they were like 'yay!' i hate them

They r just stupid brats. Ignore them

Lol, they will probably spend all summer trying to get their cm but will fail like always, ever since the second grade.

Ikr?! Idiots

Well gtg, mom wants me. Bye DT

Bye

I looked at the time. 2:34. A little bit of time has passed, but not enough.

"Are we there yet?" I mumbled like a little kid.

"No, we still have about an hour and a half. Hang in there." Dad replied.

I groaned in impatience. Usually, things got to me whenever I wanted them to. Now time was too slow.

I stared out the window, but nothing too interesting showed, but other cars across the highway.

I checked the time. 2:39. I groaned again.

I decided to pass time by playing apps on my phone. Eventually, though, I grew bored. I checked the time 3:26. Good, only about a half an hour before we're there.

I texted Silver again. She didn't reply, even after ten minutes. Her mom must have wanted to spend time with her or something.

I wondered if Silver was going to get on the cheerleading team. I should of. This shouldn't of have happened to me. I should be the most popular girl at PMS, having all of the boys line up just to talk to me, and still rejecting every one. Nopony was good enough for Diamond Tiara. Nopony will ever be. I sighed again, and let a fantasy in my mind play.

A colt came up to me, nervous. He is a light blue pegasus with a striped dark blue and white mane with a tint of yellow. His cutie mark is a football with bright yellow stars surrounding it. His eyes were also yellow. He was pretty hot. "Hi there, who are you?" he asked. This colt was too hot to ignore. "I'm Diamond Tiara, and who are you?" I asked. "I'm AllStar." he replied, grinning, showing off perfect white teeth, and then he began to brag, "I'm always the captain of the football team. In the fall, I run for cross country. I always finish first." "Wow," I replied, but I'm not yet impressed. "I tried out for cheerleading. I was a cheerleader for Ponyville district when I was little." (This wasn't a lie.) "That's cool." he replied. "So AllStar, got any friends?" I asked. "One. His name is Quarterback. He's an Earth Pony and has an orange-brown coat with a white, brown, and black mane. His eyes are brown. His cutie mark is a football next to a helmet. He's really cool. Other colts aren't cool enough for me." Allstar replied. "Really? Same here. My friend's name is Silver Spoon. She's an Earth Pony too, she has a grey coat and white mane, purple eyes and wears blue glasses. She has a braid in her hair, and her cutie mark is a Silver Spoon, as if it weren't obvious. She's the only filly cool enough to hang out with me." I replied. "Cool! Maybe we could all hang out together." AllStar replied. "That'd be ni-" I began to say, but Dad's voice cut me off.

"Diamond, we're here." he told me.

He stopped the car.

I jumped out, and looked at the large, clean, white house in front of me.

This is the start of my new, horrible, life.
