Plaitinum's Misery

Princess Platinum

Chapter 2

Velvet the Vigilant sat proudly at her oak desk, she was a strict tutor, much harder then her father had been when he mentored her. But that was a no-hoofer, how else could Clover have become as clever as she is today,

"Wait that's it!" Platinum whispered so her tutor wouldn't hear her, "' Clover the Clever ' that shall be the title I give here at my coronation!" Platinum's gaze shifted over to Velvet, her eyes darted about everywhere, this is what earned her the title Velvet the 'Vigilant'. The habit scared Platinum to death, she was never sure if she was watching her or not. Platinum glanced to her left, Clover was there getting on with her magic studies, it came as easy to her as sleeping, but to Platinum it was as hard as growing wings. Reluctantly the princess raised her hoof, "Please Velvet can I go to the little fillie's room?"

"Yes Platinum, make it quick." Her teacher said in an annoyed tone. The filly quickly hopped out of her uncomfortable wooden chair and made her way over to the washroom. Why did Velvet have to be so mean, why wasn't she like daddy? Then it dawned on her, this is what it was going to be like for the next five years, until she was eighteen. She would have to start fending for herself, doing chores like a common earth pony. Velvet and Clover where the only people she knew personally, and their paid to like her. A tear fell from the princess's eye. A sudden rush of adrenalin filled her veins she swiftly trotted to the lavatory and begun to have a panic attack. The filly cantered to the washroom and swiftly locked the door.

"I'm going to die. I'm going to die I'm going to die." Her breath quickened and tears flew out as if her eyes were taps. Why couldn't she have a mother? Why couldn't she have a father? Why couldn't she have some pony who wasn't paid to be her best friend?

"Get yourself together Plati! If other ponies are going to treat you like something under their hoof, then you treat them the same!"

Platinum's tears ceased her lungs relax. She looked at her cutie mark, a golden crown with ingots of platinum underneath.

"You are a princess, you will not be treated this way!" She was livid. At her servants at Velvet, even at Clover. "I hate you all." she declared through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, the bathroom door shuck and a familiar voice called her,c

"Platinum!" "Platinum!" " Platinum!!!"[b/]

"Whaaa?" Platinum's eyes fluttered open to see Clover, bed sheets in mouth, hovering over her."What the? What the buck are you doing in here Clover?"

"You were having another night terror."

Clover broke in to a sweat.

"That doesn't mean you can just trot in here and wake me up like a mother would her foal!"

"Sorry your majesty, but other than that I, we needed to wake you up for a rather special occasion..."

"Spit it out woman!"

"YOUR DAMN CORONATION!!!

"Oh..."
