Dear Diary,

My name is Lily Heart. I'm 9 years old, and I live with my sister, and her friends, Digit, who has a job as a computer technician, Stronghold, who was once a royal guard, and Element Rose, who is also my teacher when it comes to using magic. We used to live in Baltimare but we had to move to Ponyville because of the fact that Stronghold was falsely accused of murder. If you're wondering about my parents, they died when I was a baby. I missed them terribly, even though I haven't seen much of them before then. My sister already signed me up for school, so I can start tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have to get some sleep now. Good night.

Lily Heart

Day 1

Day 1

As the rooster crows, Lily Heart woke up, and got up from her bed. She walked up to her mirror and saw her reflection.

"You can do this, Lily Heart", she said to herself as she brushed her green mane and used her magic to brush her tail.

She has two brushes given to her by her sister, Lovely Melody. As she was finished brushing her mane and tail, she went into her closet and found a pale yellow t-shirt and denim jeans with stars on the bottom legs. She quickly changed out of her pajamas, changed into the clothes she picked out, and put on her blue headband.

"Lily Heart, time for breakfast", a voice called out.

"I'm coming", Lily Heart shouted back.

"Did you brush your mane and tail?"

"Yes."

"Did you get dressed?"

"Yes."

"Did you brush your teeth?"

Lily Heart suddenly froze and gave herself a face palm. "No."

"Then go brush your teeth, little Lily."

"Okay".

Lily Heart went to the bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush. She grabbed a tube of toothpaste, and began to brush her teeth.

'It won't be that bad. It'll probably be better than my old school.', Lily Heart though.

She remembers her old school. She was bullied for being a teacher's pet, even her classmates without cutie marks made fun of her. Lily Heart talked to her sister about it and she did something about it. Her classmates were later suspended or expelled. All but three of her classmates were in trouble. Three fillies who were the mean girls of her school. They made Lily Heart's life a living hell. She told her sister and her roommates, and they tried to tell the school but they couldn't find any proof. Element Rose once threatened them that she will burn the whole school down if they didn't do something about it. In fear, they decided to expel the fillies, but before that happened, something dark happened. The three fillies who were bullying Lily Heart were all found beaten to death in each of their bedrooms. Their parents thought that it was Stronghold was the one who committed the crime out of revenge. When they found out that Stronghold was accused of the crime, Lily Heart, Lovely Melody, and her roommates all left Baltimare to Ponyville, in order to start a new life. Those are the events that Lily Heart wants to forget but they are forever engraved into her memory.

As she finished rinsing her mouth, Lily Heart headed downstairs to the kitchen. There she saw Element Rose. She is a brown unicorn with black eyes, and kinky black and red mane and tail. She is wearing a white blouse, and black denim jean shorts, along with a blue apron. She even wore her usual white heart necklace, and matching hair bow. Her cutie mark is a rose consisting of seven colors that represents that elements she can control. She is also her teacher in basic unicorn magic. Element Rose turned and greeted her little apprentice with a smile.

"Oh there you are", she said. "I made your favorite. Blueberry pancakes!" Element Rose turned back to the stove. "How many do you want?"

"Two, please", Lily Heart answered.

As Lily Heart sat at the table, Element Rose served her a plate of pancakes.

"Where's everypony else", Lily Heart asked as she was pouring syrup on her pancakes.

"I don't know", said Element Rose. "All I know is that your sister went to an audition for a soap opera, so she left early."

"Oh."

"But she wanted me to tell you to have fun at school."

Lily Heart smiled, as she was glad to hear her sister give comforting words, even though she is not home.

"Is that pancakes I smell", Stronghold said as she enters the kitchen.

Stronghold is a burgundy, muscular earth pony, with short dark brown mane and tail. She is wearing a black tank top that is showing her six-pack, dog-tag necklace, a green vest, and camouflage cargo pants.

"Sure are", said Element Rose. "How many do you want?"

"Four, chef Rosie."

"I told you not to call me that", Element Rose said as she starts blushing.

"It's cool, Rose."

As Stronghold sat at the table, she turned to Lily Heart.

"Ready for school, kiddo", she said as she messes with Lily Heart's mane.

"Yep", Lily Heart said as she finishes her pancakes.

"Done already", said a voice.

Lily Heart turned and saw Digit.

She is a dark pink pegasus with a dark magenta, braided mane and tail. She is wearing a light brown sleeveless turtleneck sweater, brown long skirt, and round glasses.

"Are you ready to go to school", Digit asked.

Lily Heart nodded.

"Alright, grab your backpack, and let's head out."

Lily Heart grabbed her backpack as she headed to the door, then suddenly she realized something.

"I almost forgot my lunch bag", she said as she grabbed her lunch bag from the counter.

"Okay, I'll see you guys la...."

Digit was interrupted by Stronghold who is grabbing her by the flank.

"Stronghold."

"Sorry, Digit. It's not my fault that you have a cute ass."

Digit rolled her eyes with chuckle, and went with Lily Heart toward the door.

"Hey, Lily", Element Rose called out.

Lily Heart turned around.

"If there is any trouble, just tell any one of us. Remember, we're here for you."

"Yes Rose."

"Good, now go learn something new."

Element Rose and Stronghold waved as Lily Heart and Digit left out the door.

As they arrived at the schoolhouse, Lily Heart hid behind Digit.

"What's wrong, Lily", asked a concerned Digit.

"What if everypony makes fun of me like they did at my old school", Lily asked.

"Nopony will make fun of you. If they do, you tell us."

"Okay."

"Now go to school. There is so much to learn there."

Lily Heart saw Ms. Cheerilee waving at her, and headed to the school house. She turned and waved goodbye to Digit as she left.

"You must be Lily Heart", Ms. Cheerilee said.

She is wearing a yellow blouse with a brown sweater vest, and a short brown skirt.

"Yes", Lily Heart answered.

"And that must be your sister, right?"

"No, that's one of my sister's roommates. My sister went to an audition."

"I always knew she is a rising star type."

"She always wanted to be on the screen, big or small."

"Alright then. Come on in."

Lily Heart entered the school house, and suddenly became nervous when she saw her new classmates.

"Good morning, class", Ms. Cheerilee said.

"Good Morning, Ms. Cheerilee", the class replied.

"Today, we have a new student that will joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Lily Heart walked toward the front of the class.

"Hello, my name is Lily Heart", she said. "I came from Baltimare with my sister and her roommates. I like to draw, write, and spend time with my sister and her roommates. I also learn basic magic from one of my sister's roommates. I don't have a cutie mark yet but I know I can find out what I'm destined for someday."

The class was fascinated with their new classmate.

"Oh great, another blank flank", yelled a voice.

The class started chuckling.

"Diamond Tiara, what did I tell you about interrupting the class", said Ms. Cheerilee.

Diamond Tiara is wearing a pink, frilly dress. She looked really irritated that her new classmate doesn't have a cutie mark.

"Sorry, Ms. Cheerilee", she said as she rolled her eyes.

"Please take your seat next to Sweetie Belle, Lily Heart", said Ms. Cheerilee.

"Okay", Lily Heart replied.

Lily Heart walked up to an empty desk next to a white unicorn filly, who is wearing a purple blouse and a bright pink skirt. As she took a seat, the white unicorn filly dropped her pencil. Lily Heart grabbed the pencil and gave it back to the white filly.

"Thanks", she said. "My name's Sweetie Belle, by the way."

"I'm Lily Heart", said Lily Heart. "Nice to meet you."

"Don't worry about Diamond Tiara. She and Silver Spoon always makes everyponys' life a living hell."

"It's okay. I was bullied to my old school"

"Wow, sorry to hear that. You'll have a great time at our school. Just wait until you meet my friends."

"Girls, do you have anything to say to the class", said Ms. Cheerlie, as turned towards them.

"No, Ms. Cheerilee", Sweetie Belle and Lily Heart answered.

"Alright, now pay attention."

"Yes, Ms. Cheerilee."

The class giggled, including Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Suddenly, a ball of paper was thrown at Lily Heart. She unballed the paper to find the words "GO BACK TO BALTIMARE, BLANK FLANK!" Lily Heart looked up and saw Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon, who are squinting their eyes at her. She then landed her head on her desk.

This is going to be a long day, Lily Heart thought.

"Alright, class, see you tomorrow", said Ms. Cheerilee as she waved at her students.

As the other foals left the school, Sweetie Belle and Lily Heart were that last to leave. They both see an orange filly pegasus, and a yellow earth filly who are waving at them.

"Oh, there they are right now", said Sweetie Belle.

They both ran towards them. The yellow earth filly is wearing overalls over a red shirt, and the orange pegasus is wearing a dark blue hoodie over a white t-shirt, and dark denim jeans.

"Hi Sweetie Belle", said the yellow earth filly as she waved at Sweetie Belle and Lily Heart.

"Hi Applebloom", Sweetie Belle said. "I would like you to meet my friend, Lily Heart. She's from Baltimare."

"Howdy, ah'm Applebloom, and this is Scootaloo."

"Nice to meet you guys", said Lily Heart.

"So you don't have a cutie mark, right", asked Scootaloo.

"No, but I'm hoping to find out what I'm destined for."

"Cool, you know we have a club dedicated to helping foals find out their destiny. Well, there are only three of us, but we're looking for a fifth since Applebloom's cousin already became our fourth. So are you willing to join?"

"I'll think about that."

"Hey blank flanks", shouted a voice.

The girls turned to see that it was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon was wearing bright gray shirt, and jean shorts. They both walked toward them as they prepare for their daily torment.

"Looks like you have a new friend, Cutie Mark Failures", Diamond Tiara said with a smirk on her face. "and it looks like the blank flank from Baltimare."

"Diamond Tiara, will ya leave us alone already", Applebloom complained. "It's starting to get old."

"Why would we", said Silver Spoon. "You obviously still don't have your cutie marks, so you're considered to be blank flanks."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both laughed hysterically until a brown unicorn mare stood right behind then.

"And what's wrong with not having a cutie mark", the mare asked with her eyes squinting.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both looked up behind them. It was Element Rose who is angry as a storm is starting.

"Who are you", Diamond Tiara asked in fear.

"I'm Lily Heart's other sister", Element Rose said. "If you don't leave those fillies alone, I'll make sure I have to tell your parents about what you've been doing. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

"Yes, ma'am", said Silver Spoon.

"NOW LEAVE!"

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both ran away, as Lily Heart, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo turned back at Element Rose, who was calming down, as the storm was going away.

"Wow, that was so cool", said Scootaloo. "How in equestria are you doing that?"

"Well, it's what I'm destined to do", Element Rose said, as she showed the fillies her cutie mark, and covers it back up. "I see you made some friends. Mind introducing them to me?"

"Element Rose, this is Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo", said Lily Heart. "Everypony, this is Element Rose, my sister's roommate and my other sister, no biologically though."

"You're so pretty", Sweetie Belle said, as she was admiring Element Rose's physique.

"Oh, thank you", Element Rose said. "I get that a lot from every pony I meet. Ready to go, Lily?"

"Yes Rose", Lily Heart answered. "Bye guys, see ya tomorrow."

Lily Heart waved to her new friends as she was walking with Element Rose.

That night, Lily Heart was getting ready for bed. As she got on the bed, she took out her diary and her pink pen, and started writing.

Dear Diary,

Today was an interesting day. I made three new friends, Sweetie Belle, who loves to sing, Applebloom, who lives on a family farm, and Scootaloo, who couldn't fly but always has her scooter with her. How do I know? Well, Sweetie Belle told me. Ms. Cheerilee is a kind teacher, she's much better than the teacher from my old school, who would always yell at me, for being worthless, even though I was a teacher's pet. I also met Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They already hate me and today was my first day. They already annoyed me too, calling me and my friends blank flanks. Rose managed to stand up for me and my friends, though, but she told that I have to stand up for myself. I will someday. Also my sister came home, and had some high hopes to be in the soap opera. I really hope she gets the role. Despite that fact that I made two new enemies, I think I'm going to like it her in Ponyville. Well, good night.

Love,
Lily Heart

Day 2

Day 2

As Lily Heart wakes up from her sleep, she looks at the mirror.

"Good Morning", she said to her reflection. "Today will be a better day than yesterday."

She giggled as she got out of bed and she did the usual routine, brush her mane and tail, brush her teeth, get dressed, and head downstairs for breakfast.

As she went downstairs, she saw her older sister, Lovely Melody. She is a bright green unicorn with lilac eyes, and purple and magenta mane and tail. Her mane is in a ponytail, and she wearing a sky blue tube top, and black denim capris, along with green flower on her mane, and matching pearl necklace, and bracelet. She turn to see her little sister about to arrive.

"Lily", she said, in a excited manner. "Guess who got the role of Sweet Emerald?"

"You did", said Lily Heart. "Wait.....you got the role?!" Lovely Melody nodded.

"Isn't it exciting", Lovely Melody said as she hugged Lily real tight to the point that she could barely breathe.

"Can't..........breathe", Lily Heart said. Lovely Melody suddenly realized it and lets go of her little sister.

"We going to celebrate over dinner", said Stronghold. "So as soon as you get home, dress fancy, ok?"

Lily Heart nodded.

"Alright, Lily Heart, time to get to school", said Digit.

As both Lily Heart and Digit left the door, they waved good-bye to their sisters.

"Good Morning, class", Ms. Cheerilee said as she looked at her students.

"Good Morning, Ms. Cheerilee", the class said.

"Today, we're going to learn about parts of speech."

Lily Heart began to take notes, but she felt a ball of paper bump her head. She ignored it but she felt another ball of paper bump her head. She looked up and found the first ball of paper that was on the floor. She picked it up, unballed it, and starts reading it. It read "GO HOME, NO PONY WANTS YOU!" Lily Heart rolled her eyes and put the note in her notebook. She found the second paper and read it. It read "STUPID BLANK FLANK!" Lily Heart looked up and saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, giggling as she was still looking at her.

"Oh wait, I got an idea", whispered Diamond Tiara.

Diamond Tiara turned to Lily Heart, and had a little smug look on her face.

"Hey Lily Heart", Diamond Tiara said to Lily Heart. "Or should I say, Lily Barf!"

Silver Spoon chuckled, but to no avail, Lily Heart ignored them.

"She's not listening, Dia", she said, as she looked concerned. "Try harder."

Diamond Tiara nodded.

"Lily Barf, that outfit looks ugly on you", she said. "And so is your mane style. Who did it for you? Your dumb sister? Her roommates?"

As she was taking notes, Lily Heart looked up at them with an annoyed face.

"I'll have you know, I brush my mane and tail everyday by myself", she said. "The fact that my clothes look ugly on me, I've heard that one before. It never really fazes me, not even at my old school, and calling a relative dumb has been annoying over the years. So you're here mocking me on looks and my family's intelligence when you should be asking yourself how do you look. I think you remind me of my dolls I have at home, and what I meant by dolls, I meant the dolls that I no longer play with."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had a surprised look on their face, which suddenly turned into anger.

"Why, you little...", Diamond Tiara said, before she got interrupted.

"Wait", Lily Heart said. "I'm not done yet. As for your intelligence, I hear your parents are smart ponies. Diamond Tiara, your father owns an business empire. You wouldn't believe it if he hears that you spend class gossiping, passing notes, and annoying your fellow classmates."

Lily Heart turned to Silver Spoon.

"Sliver Spoon", she said. "I looked up your family history for a school project at my old school. Your great-great-great grandmother was one of the most intelligent ponies. I would be so sad that her great-great-great granddaughter was spending time with a rich, spoiled brat. It would lower your IQ by 20%, I suppose. Now, would you please mind moving out the way? I have to take notes."

Silver Spoon had enough. She stood up from her desk and walked to Lily Heart's desk. She suddenly slammed on the surface so loud, it caught the attention of the entire classroom.

"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE AND BEAUTY", she shouted. "I'M ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND SMARTEST FILLIES IN PONYVILLE! DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME THAT HANGING WITH MY BEST FRIEND WILL LOWER MY IQ! AND SAYING THAT I LOOK LIKE AN OLD DOLL, YOU KNOW WHAT I'LL SHOW YOU HOVE I TREAT MY OLD DOLLS!"

Sliver Spoon grabbed Lily Heart's headband from her mane, snapped it in two and threw it at her. She grabbed her by the mane and threw her to the ground. Before she Silver Spoon could do anything else, Ms. Cheerilee stopped her.

"Silver Spoon", she hollered. "Stop it right now!"

Silver Spoon turned and looked at her teacher, who was angry.

"You disrupted class, and you nearly caused injured Lily Heart. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"But.....but.......Lily Heart started it", Silver Spoon said.

Ms. Cheerilee looked down at Lily Heart, who was in tears.

"I was just telling them the truth of what happens if they keep intimidating others", she said. "You know, standing up for myself."

"I was very good that you stood up for yourself", Ms. Cheerilee said. "But let the grown-ups handle it, okay?"

Lily Heart nodded. Ms. Cheerilee then turned to Silver Spoon.

"As for you, young filly", she said. "You're going to be suspended for one week, do you understand?"

"Yes, Cheerilee", Silver Spoon replied.

"Good", said Ms. Cheerilee. "Now go take your seat."

Silver Spoon returned to her seat. As Ms. Cheerilee returned to the board, she turned to her students.

"Now, on with our lesson", she said.

As Ms. Cheerilee continued with the lesson, Sweetie Belle turned to Lily Heart.

"Are you okay", she whispered.

"I'm fine", Lily Heart whispered back.

'Just fine,'Lily Heart thought.

As Lily Heart arrived home, she went to the kitchen for a snack, and as she did, she saw Stronghold, who is eating an apple.

"Hi Stronghold", Lily Heart said.

"Hey kiddo", Stronghold said as she turned. She was shocked when she turned to see that Lily Heart has a scar on her face. "Oh my Celestia, what happened to you?"

"One of my classmates slammed me on the ground", Lily Heart said. "I was only trying to stand up for myself."

"What?!", Stronghold shouted. "When I see her, I'll kill that little..."

"No", Lily Heart said. "Please don't."

Stronghold suddenly realized that violence wasn't the answer.

"Alright", she said. "Go get ready for dinner."

Lily Heart nodded.

As she went upstairs, Lily Heart went to her closet and found a baby blue dress and dark blue cardigan, along with another blue headband, which she called her back-up headband, and turned to take a look in the mirror and saw the scrape on her face. As she got dressed, she felt bad for Silver Spoon.

'I didn't mean to get Silver Spoon suspended', she thought. 'This is what I get for trying to stand up for myself.'

She hears the door open, and she saw Lovely Melody, who was wearing a short dark blue dress, along with matching necklace, bracelet, and earrings.

"OH MY CELESTIA", she shouted. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LOVELY FACE?!" Lily heart explained everything that happened at school today.
"Oh dear, I'm going to have to speak to her parents about this, but in the meantime, let me put on some make-up on that scar, shall we?"

The two sisters went into Lovely Melody's room. It was filled with posters of celebrities that she liked, she even has one of Sapphire Shores, and Fleur De Lis, the two mares who inspired her to be who is today. Her bed has teal and pink gradient blanket, and teal sheets. Her window has pink curtains, and her closet was filled with trendy clothes. They walked to Lovely Melody's vanity, which was bigger than her younger sister's.

"Let me find you something that can match your beautiful blue coat", Lovely Melody said as she went to find some foundation. "Ah, here's one."

She took a application brush from the top drawer, and stirred it on the foundation.

"Let's see if I can get it right", Lovely Melody said. She applied the foundation on to the scar on her face. "Okay, take a look in the mirror."

Lily Heart looked in the mirror and was proud of the work her sister has done.

"It looks like as if nothing happened", she said.

"I knew my work as a make-up artist has been rusty", Lovely Melody said. "Now come on, let's go downstairs."

As they went downstairs, they spotted Element Rose, who was wearing a white dress, Digit, who was wearing a red blouse and black pencil dress, and Stronghold, who was wearing a black suit.

"Awww, don't you look adorable in that dress", Element Rose said. "Come on, let's go before we have to wait for our table."

"Don't worry, I had made reservations", Lovely Melody said, as the girls left their home.

As the girls entered the restaurant, they see a a blue unicorn usher who is wearing a tuxedo.

"Can I help you, ladies", he asked, with a stern look.

"Yeah, I'm Lovely Melody, and these are my friends", Lovely Melody said.

"Oh, you're Lovely Melody", said the usher. "Please right this way. As he turned to seat them to their table, the usher took a quick look at Lily Heart. "Is that your sister, or your daughter?"

"Oh, she's my little sister", Lovely Melody said.

"Oh, well, she's an adorable young one", the usher said, as he handed out the menus. "A waiter will be here to take your orders."

After the usher left, the girls realized that there were two extra chairs.

"Uh, Melody, is there anypony else that will be joining us", asked Digit.

" Oh, the director and one of the lead actors will be joining us", said Lovely Melody. "They're also paying for the meal."

"Hello ladies", said a voice.

The girls turned to see a dark maroon unicorn stallion who was wearing fedora on his head, a blue polo shirt, and brown slacks. He has matching black mane, which was thinning, and tail, as well as a thin mustache.

"I see these are your roommates", said the stallion.

"Yes sir", said Lovely Melody. "I'm Lovely Melody, these are my roommates, Stronghold, Digit, and Element Rose, and this is my little sister, Lily Heart."

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you all", said the stallion as he tipped off his fedora, showing of his balding head. " I'm Prized Inkwell, and I'm the director of the newest soap opera, 'The Rich and the Lonely', it is good to see you all." Prized Inkwell turned to an dark orange earth stallion, whose right ear tip was ripped off, red eyes, red and orange matching mane, which was combed over, and tail. He is wearing a black tuxedo suit. "Lovely Melody, you remember Arid Inferno, do you?"

"Oh, yeah", said Lovely Melody. "I was both your make-up artist, and your assistant. You were also one of my classmates, and........." She suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence, as she blushed a shade of pink. "......one of my best friends."

"I'm glad you remembered", Arid Inferno said as he and Prized Inkwell took their seats. "and you're as beautiful as the last time we saw each other."

"Let's see what's on the menu", Prized Inkwell said as he looked on the menu.

"Hello, " said voice. Everyone turned to see a young mare pegasus who is wearing blouse with a black vest over top of it, matching pencil skirt, and bow tie. "I will be your waitress for the evening. Are we starting with some appetizers?"

"No, thank you", said Prized Inkwell. "We'll take the main course."

"Alright, what will you be ordering", asked the waitress.

"I love the apple-cranberry salad", said Lovely Melody.

"I'm willing to have the spinach frittata", said Element Rose.

"I'll take the same order but can I have mine with cucumbers instead of spinach", said Digit.

"Are you sure, ma'am", asked the waitress.

"The girl likes cucumbers", said Stronghold. "Anyways, I'll have the Eleven-spiced Hill Country venison."

"I'll take the Mushroom Stufano", said Arid Inferno.

"I'll take the tomato bisque", said Prized Inkwell.

"Okay, and what will you have, little one", asked the waitress.

"I'll take the Ratatouille, please", said Lily Heart.

"Okay, what can do for you for drinks", asked the waitress.

"We'll take the red wine, and let the little one have the apple juice", said Prized Inkwell.

"Alright, your drinks will be here in five minutes and your dinner will be here soon", said the waitress as she left.

"So about the show", Prized Inkwell said. "Your work schedule will be everyday, except weekends and the holidays, and the filming will take place Manehatten, so you're going to need to stay with Arid Inferno since he lives closer to the studio."

"I understand", said Lovely Melody.

"You can call, and send letters and gifts to your friends and sister", said Arid Inferno. "Heck, they can visit us anytime they want, they can even get a grand tour of the studio."

"Well, that's good news", said Lovely Melody.

"Your dinner and drinks", said the waitress.

"Well, that was quick", Element Rose said as their dinner and drinks arrive.

Their dinners were served with a bottle of red wine, except for Lily Heart, who was served apple juice. The waitress opened the wine bottle with a corkscrew, and poured the wine into their wine glasses.

"Enjoy your meals", she said as she walked away.

"Well, let's have a toast", said Prized Inkwell, as he picked up his wine glass. "To the start of the 'The Rich and the Lonely'!"

"To 'The Rich and the Lonely", the entire table said as they raised their glasses.

"Now let's eat", said Arid Inferno.

As they began to eat, Element Rose looked at Lily Heart as she was eating her food.

"Well, some pony likes her food", she said, as Lily Heart looked up and nodded.

"Looks like a certain filly's going to have dessert after she eats her dinner", said Arid Inferno, as Lily Heart finishes her dinner.

"Well, that was quick", Stronghold said. "It seen like you're were hungry."

"I was", Lily Heart agreed. "You guys are finished already as well."

"Look like we were all hungry", said Digit. "I gotta go use the bathroom."

"So do I", said Element Rose.

"I have to make a call", Prized Inkwell said.

"I have go use the men's room", said Arid Inferno.

"So do I", said Stronghold. "Don't ask why, just roll with it."

"I'll do check my make-up", said Lovely Melody.

As everypony got up from the table and leave to their designated areas. As she was going to the ladies room, she turned and looked at Lily Heart.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself", she asked.

"I'll be fine", Lily Heart said.

Lovely Melody smile and walked to the ladies room. As she was looking on the dessert menu, Lily Heart then turned to the table next to her and she saw Diamond Tiara, who was wearing a lilac dress, and matching cardigan. She was finished eating her dinner, and turned to see her rival.

"Well, well", she said. "If it isn't the filly that got my BFF suspended. How did you managed to get a reservation here anyways? This is one of the most expensive restaurants in Equestria."

"My sister made reservations at this restaurant", Lily Heart said.

"Oh, just because you're sister in some dumb soap opera, doesn't mean she's going to be famous, you know", Diamond Tiara said.

"Will you please leave me alone tonight", Lily Heart asked.

"Fine, I'll be seeing you at school tomorrow", Diamond Tiara said, but she suddenly walked towards Lily Heart. "Oh by the way, you have apple juice in your mane."

"What', said Lily Heart. "I don't have apple juice in my mane."

Diamond Tiara suddenly grabbed Lily Heart's apple juice, and poured all over the top of her head.

"Well, you do now", Diamond Tiara said. "That's for Silver Spoon." She walked away to her table, as she laughed.

Lily Heart suddenly hears whispers from the other patrons. Hearing things like 'Wasn't that filly banned from here', 'How could she do that', and 'Some pony should do something about her.'

"Oh Sweet Luna, are you okay", said a voice. Lily Heart turned to see that it was the waitress from earlier, who was bringing a towel. She began to dry Lily Heart's mane, as she continued talking, but in a softer tone. "Don't worry about her, the old manager already banned her from the restaurant, but when he retired, her uncle bribed the new manager, so she and her father will come in everyday. Every pony who either worked or are regulars here knew about this because the manager always brags about it, yet no pony bothered to do something about it. I severely apologize about her."

"Don't worry, you're lucky", Lily Heart said. "I have to face everyday at school."

"Anyways, do you want to order dessert", the waitress asked.

"Yes, I'll take the caramel cheesecake", said Lily Heart.

"Okay, coming right up", said the waitress, with a smile on her face.

As the waitress walked away, Lily Heart took time to think to herself. 'She's a nice mare. I can understand where she and every pony else is coming from with the situation they have with that spoiled brat.'

"Sorry, it took so long", said Prized Inkwell as he and every pony else arrived at the table. "So did you order dessert?" Lily Heart nodded, then suddenly Inkwell smelled something.

"Is that apple juice I smell", he asked and then he turned to see Diamond Tiara, who was waving at him. He waved back, and turned back around. He then muttered the words, Spoiled Brat, underneath his breath.

"Are you okay, Mr. Inkwell", asked Lily Heart.

"Yeah, I'm fine", he said. "It's just that Diamond Tiara used to be part of my short-lived series, Sweetheart Academy. She was only seven years old at the time. The show was a child-friendly show about young orphan fillies going though many adventures. Diamond Tiara played a girl named Sugar Cookie. The character was sweet on the outside, but mean on the inside. Throughout the show's run-time, it ended up with stellar reviews within the first few episodes, but when on later episodes, it ended up with terrible reviews regarding Diamond Tiara's acting is getting worse and worse within each episode. After the final episode was aired, the network decided to cancel the program, due to them no longer tolerating Diamond Tiara's behavior, and the fact that we couldn't find another filly to play Sugar Cookie. Ever since the show's cancellation, my other projects became even better than Sweetheart Academy, so much better than every pony in Equestria forgotten about it. So therefore, ponies forgotten the act that Diamond Tiara was once a short-lived TV star, which made it pretty much a good thing to me and every pony else who was in involved in the series."

"I'm sorry to hear that", said Lovely Melody. "I didn't know you have to work with such a spoiled brat."

"It's fine", said Prized Inkwell. "It's all in the past now. I see your dessert has just arrived, Lily Heart."

The waitress gave Lily Heart a plate of caramel cheesecake.

"Eat up, sweetie", said Digit.

Lily Heart lifted her forked and began to chow on her cheesecake, and she was once again in her thoughts, 'Poor Mr. Inkwell. He must have went through a lot with Diamond Tiara. I can't believe Diamond Tiara would be mean to every pony involved in that show. At least, he has some understanding cast and crew members to help him move on from this.

As Lily Heart walked to her room with her pajamas, sh was still full from the cheesecake. She took out her diary and pink pen, and started writing.

Dear Diary,

Today was one of the worst and best days of my life. What made today worse was that Silver Spoon threw me to the ground for standing up for myself. She ended up getting suspended. Later, during dinner, Diamond Tiara poured apple juice all over me. What made my day great was that I met Prized Inkwell, a TV director, and Arid Inferno, a well known actor, and one of Lovely Melody's best friends.I even met a really nice waitress. I have a feeling that will meet her again someday. I also found two of the many secrets of Diamond Tiara. I'm actually surprised about what I found out. As for Diamond Tiara, I'm not really looking forward for the rest of the week, she's going to make my life a living hell, just like those three fillies did in my old school. At least, I have Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo for that since thay are going though the same problems with her as well. I gotta go.

Love,
Lily Heart
