Spraia

Spraia was more than excited to return to school the next day. Twilight was right, no one picked on her, and she even made two new friends, easily. She still wanted to try to make friends with Silver Spoons though, she was a bully, yes, but she already changed Diamond Tiara into another friend. Silver spoons would be a challenge, and she loved challenges.

As she trotted up the stairs to the school, she stopped in front to catch her breath, having been running the entire way there. As she entered though, there was a feel of fun in the air about her. Finding the classroom she sat down in her spot, next to Dinky, and soon, Diamond Tiara joined in, but didn't sit next to Spraia. Shedidn't say hello, didn't even spark up conversation with Spraia at all during class.

When the Cheerilee let everyone out for recess, Spraia had to get an answer to a question that has been bothering her all day.  Aproaching Diamond Tiara, she was met with a sad face.

"Tiara, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, it's jsut..."

"Just what?"

"Mom said to not hang out with you ata ll anymore, much less, speak to you."

"But...why?"

"She said something about your parents. Thats all I know."

Diamond Tiara stood from where she was sitting and walked away. Spraia didn't follow, she knew it would make things worse.

Later that day, after school, Spraia walked home, unlike how she planned to get home, which was by running. Upon entering the library, her sad face was like a magnet, drawing Spike from his work. The taller dragon put down the large stack of books and kneeled down near the filly.

"Spraia, you alright?"

"Oh, it's Diamond Tiara."

"Is she bullying you?"

"No, far from it. Yesterday, we were such good friends, and today, she won't even talk to me."

"Do you know why?"

"Not really, all I know is that her mom won't let her even be near me."

"Well, why don't we go pay Her a visit, get some facts straight, get some answers, maybe even get you to back to being friends."

"You'd do that?"

"Yeah, you are my little girl after all."

"Thanks dad."

"Now, I know exactly where she lives, so we can get there quick."

Picking up the filly, Spike stretched his new wings out wide, flapping them once before letting them droop to his sides.

"Twilight, I'm going out for a few minutes with Spraia, I'll be back soon.", he called into the library as he walke dout. Closing the door behind him, he looked down intot eh filly in his arms.

"You ready?"

"Yeah!", she smiled.

Crouching down, his wings gave a single powerful beat, sending them both into the skies. A few more, and he was above ponyville by a far distance. Quickly coming to Diamond Tiara's house, no one was outside. As Spike landed, a fwoomf sounded back in reaction.

Spraia was elt down and she ran to the door, knocking on it a few quick times. Diamond Tiara opened it and her smile disappeared.

"Oh...Spraia..."

"Is your mom home?"

"Yeah, just a second."

She closed the door and after a few seconds, Diamond Tiara's mom opened the door, a bemused expression on her face.

"Oh, it's you. what do you want..."

"Uhm, I wanted to ask you why you won't let me play with Diamond Tiara."

"I told her to stay away from you because you are another mistake of society that should not exist, I don't want her getting the same idea and making the same mistake. If she did that, I'd disown her quickly."

"Thats not true at all, I have read many books on what happens every day, I've read newspapers, comics, magazines on scientific facts, you can't tell me that I'm wrong when I say you are lying."

"You're a smart filly, but that doesn't matter. You're just another problem of society, a mistake, a monster."

"No I am no-"

She stopped as her cheek was hit with force, leaving her in pain and silenced. Looking at the mare, she had her hoof raised, ready to strike again.

"Leave, and never return."

Spraia began tearing up, and then broke into sobs as she ran back to the waiting dragon not but ten feet away. He was actually approaching the mare that had stricken his daughter.

"Oh, who might you be, an adult to take her away? Good, do it quickly, I don't-"

"How abotu you save it. I knew there was going to be hardships for my own daughter, but this is just. You know, I could easily burn your house down, leave you without a home. Yeah, that'd make you even with my monster of a child, or what else did you call ehr? A mistake, a problem of society. not once did I hear half-breed, hybrid, or the much mroe preferred term, dragon pony. Not a single. The onyl thing keeping me from going further than this is your own daughter! If Spraia didn't bring this up with me because you told your daugther to stay away from mine, then I'd very well not be here, about to leave you homeless, would I? It's ponies like you that I can't stand. I knew her dad was a nice stallion, but I never knew her mother was such a bitch to others!"

Diamond Tiara's mom gasped, "You sir have insutled me! I wil-"

"So what?! You hit my child! You treated her like she was nothing more than annoying pest, a lifeless doll!! I will give you a choice, you can apologize, leave my kid alone, quite spreading lies, and stop beign such a bitch, or I can take my leave, then bring this up with Rarity, and you see a visit from someone who wouldn't allow this to happen."

"I think you should leave."

"Leave I will."

Fanning out his wings, he picked up Spraia quickly, then turned back to the mare.

"Should anythign bad happen to you, don't blame it on me."

He took off, leaving the mare at her own doorstep. Behind her soft sobs from her filly, Diamond Tiara, carried out the door.

"Diamond Tiara, stop crying.", she shut the door.

Spike stopped by the boutique, not even thinking that the argument ahead was going to be heated, still holding Spraia in his arms. As he landed, he set her down, then walked ot the door.

"Could you stay out here while I talk to your mother?"

Spraia nodded, looking up at the storm clouds overhead.

"I'll sit under the gazebo over there.", she motioned towards the nearby gazebo.

Spike waited till Spraia was under the gazebo's cover befroe walking inside.

"Rarity."

"Yes, dear? Is something wrong?"

"There sure is. Spraia came up to me today and-"

"She went to you? This has got to be good."

"Just listen. She came to me today, said that her friend as avoiding her. Well, I just accepted it as friend troubles and being as how she is new to school and making new friends, decided to help her out. Now, we are talking about Diamond Tiara here, one of the two bullies in schoo, it's why I was mostly not concerned, as they tend to use others to get what they want. Landing in the front yard of her house, Spraia ran up, knocked and got her mom to come out."

"And where is this going? Bad or good?"

"Bad. It went horribly wrong."

"...How bad?"

"She was fussing at Spraia, called her a mistake, a problem to society, and a monster."

"what?", Rairty cocked an eyebrow.

"Oh, quite literally. Spraia, being the smart filly she is, retaliated, and she hit Spraia."

Rarity sighed.

"You're not mad?"

"Doesn't even begin to explain what "mad" means. Anything else?"

"Well, I gave that bitch a piece of my mind, you need an address?"

"No, I've been there one too many times dealing with the bull shit between Diamond Tiara and Sweetie bell. I can't believe Diamond Tiara and Sivler Spoon are still in that school. I will be back in about ten to fifteen minutes."

"Would you like me to fly you there?"

"No, no. I've got it fine with my own magic."

A jolt of magic later and Rarity was gone, as said she could do. At Diamond Tiara's house, Rarity walked up to the door, no smile, no frown, a perfect poker face. Knocking ont he door, Diamond Tiara answered again.

"Yes ma'am?", she smiled.

"Is your mother home?", Rarity asked, keeping her poker face strong.

"Why yes, why do-"

"Then you should either go up to your room, or stay outside if you don't want to see this."

"W-what?"

Using amgic, Rarity swung the door wide open, Lightning striking behind her. Using mroe of her magic, she teleported the young filly up to her room, using magic to lock the door, and put a sound spell on it to keep it quiet. Looking directly at Diamond Tiara's mom, Rarity dropped her poker face, staring daggers at her.

"Ok, you trash, what gives you the bright idea of calling my daughter a monster? Hmm?"

"Maybe you shouldn't-"

"Oh shut your damn mouth, I've already heard enough from her father. It's one thing to call my foal a monster, a mistake, even a problem to everyone, but you will never hit MY foal."

"Well fi you_"

Rarity sealed the greyish black amre's mouth with a spell, approaching her.

"I do nto give a damn, I do nto care what you have to say in defence. I have one thing for you, at you'd better listen well or shit is going down. Leave my child alone, and stop acting like a bitch all the time. If your daughter wants to be friend with mine, then why should you interfere? Because you think you should take it upon yourself to decide whats right and whats wrong. That is not your job, that is the damned princess' job. Above that, you hit MY foal. For that, I am really angry, and wish I could rip you apart quite literally, but I am a lady, not a savage. Hit my child again, call her a monster, or whatever the hell else, and I will rip your throat out, you hear me?"

Releasing the spell fromt he mare, she seemed to growl at Rarity.

"How about you quit trying to stick up for a filthy shit like you-"

Rarity turned around and bucked the mare into the table, breakign it into several pieces and leaving her winded.

"I will nto give another warning. You insult my child again I will break of your horn, shove it down your throat and then throw you off of a fifty story cliff!!!"

Rarity turned around and left, her magic cleanign up the mess, doing the spell which locked the filly in her room, as well as fixing anything else wrong with the house, making so as she never entered the building. Once outside, her magic took affect as a lightning strike lit up the background of the trees and skies.

As she reappeared in the boutique, spike looked up from the sleeping filly in his arms.

"She just got to sleep."

"Good, then she can't hear this next part. If that trash insults her again, uses slander against her, or anything to further ruin my little filly's life, let me know, and I will kill her, quite literally."

"Rarity, calm down."

"Why should I when my own daughter is victim of someone who thinks she is better than everyone else? Maybe I should have left their house a mess when_"

Spike stopped her, "I will elt you know, but don't get so rowdy around Spraia. She is still just a filly after all. Can't traumatize her early in her foalhood and leave her depressed for the rest of her life."

"Y-you're right, I'm sorry, it's just I got so heated back there, I lost control and actually was very unlady-like. I even bucked her into a table..."

"good, she quite deserved it after what she did."

"It was still unlady-like."
