Apple Bloom dragged Scootaloo out of the treehouse, who looked like she was going to explode. Her normally orange face was the same shade as Apple Bloom's mane, which could've been hilarious had the situation not been serious. Unfortunately, Diamond Tiara didn't have such luck.

"So Diamond Tiara, what are you going to talk about? Why are you apologizing at all?" Sweetie Belle began to fire off a barrage of questions, but Diamond Tiara stopped her before that could happen. She didn't want her ear to be talked off, it had already been a very long day.

"I was thinking so much a few days ago, about you and your cutie marks. I know it's always seemed like I've been torturing you for not having your cutie marks, but you really make me jealous. I have a diamond tiara for my cutie mark, but I never understood what it meant. I still don't, really, it's quite vague. But I was so unhappy that you, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were are free to experiment and become anypony you want. You can still have the excitement of discovering who you are. I don't, and my cutie mark is just.. it's not what anypony would want. I thought it meant I had to be mean to you, since I got it the first time I teased Apple Bloom. That's what I thought made me different."

Diamond Tiara paused for a moment, and continued. It was taking a lot out of her to say so much, but she couldn't stop. It all had to come out. "But really, I think my cutie mark means I have an unattainable dream. I wanted you three to get your cutie marks so you could finally be good at one thing and stop trying others through my bullying, but that would never happen. You're always told to wait to get your cutie marks and even when you don't want to, that's the way it really has to be." She finally finished, breathing in. She really let out a lot in those sentences, more than she would've liked to admit. But frankly, she would be saying similar things to the other two. It didn't matter anymore.

"Diamond Tiara, you were so cruel to us. I know I'm always told to be the most trusting and in a bad way, but I can't help but think you were always letting something show. It was cruel, it was terrible, but your heart just wasn't in it." Sweetie Belle sat down, looking at the earth pony with soft eyes.

My heart wasn't in it? Well, I guess it wasn't.. but did it really show that much?

"I think I'm the only one who ever saw it, though. I've always had a bit of a flair for things like that, maybe I can be a psychologist when I'm older." Sweetie Belle shrugged, as though it was nothing. It was more than nothing. Sweetie Belle, the least critical of the group, saw through Diamond Tiara? She was more interesting than Diamond Tiara thought.

"But does that mean you're gonna stop bothering us? I mean, not completely stop talking to us or anything like that, but it doesn't make sense for you to bully if you don't want to." Sweetie Belle asked. Some ponies would've thought it to be a stupid question, but it did hold a lot of importance. "I wouldn't want you to totally cut off contact with us.."

"No, I'll still talk to you. But after I talk to you three, I'm going to go to Silver Spoon. I'll make sure she doesn't bother you, because frankly, she has no right to."

Sweetie Belle nodded, accepting the answer. It was the best Diamond Tiara could give, and it was good enough for her. ".. Okay. Can you get Scootaloo in here somehow? It's obvious she doesn't want to be in here at all or talk to me, but I need to. I really do." Diamond Tiara's eyes pleaded with Sweetie Belle, who nodded and trotted out of the treehouse. Diamond Tiara heard a scuffle outside the door.

This should be bundles of fun. In her mind, Diamond Tiara began to list out what would go in her will because Scootaloo would probably try to kill her with a pencil or something.

Author's Note

So here's one of the final chapters. After I finish up this story, I'll probably move into funny, one-chapter stories because I really like those.

Also, do you know why I continued this? I don't know how to mark it completed, I kid you not. So if you could tell me how to do that, it would be nice.
