Cutie Marks; Part One

Two fillies storm down the streets of Ponyville; the filly on the left wore a silver tiara on her mane; her eye colour is cornflower blue, her mane being light grayish violet with white streaks and her coat being pale magenta. Her Cutie Mark being a picture of a tiara. While her friend on the right, wore light blue glasses and a pearl necklace with her mane braid. Her eye colour was moderate violet, her mane colour being two shades of light azureish gray with her coat being the colour of cornflower bluish gray and her Cutie Mark being a picture of a silver spoon.

Diamond Tiara was overflowing with anger, Silver Spoon stayed quiet watching her best friend muttering under her breath. The two had just got back from The Crystal Empire, wanting to be the flag carrier for Ponyville Diamond Tiara thought that the two of them were the best choice, but others disagree. Picking The Cutie Mark Crusaders instead of them.

"Can you believe it, they chose Blank Flanks, beside us!" Diamond cried out, Silver Spoon let out a moan and roll her eyes.

The gray coated filly just nodded and let out an "Hmm" agreeing with Diamond Tiara without saying a word, Silver Spoon knew her best friend and when Diamond doesn't get her way, it just best to nod let out a 'Hmm' in an agreement and not argue with the pink coat filly that wore the silver tiara on her head. Silver Spoon didn't even bother to listen, just nodding her head with a small smile on her lips, it not like Diamond cared much about what Silver Spoon thought.

"That's like totally not right, how, HOW! They Blank Flanks, losers and nothing more!" Diamond cried out, she stomped her hoof in anger.

Silver Spoon rolled her eyes at Diamond Tiara comment, the gray coated filly still stayed silent. Not wanting to make Diamond Tiara more angry than she already was. The pair of fillies made their way over to Sugar Cube Corner, Diamond wanting a chocolate milkshake after the events that she had put through.

"Is this about the Cutie Mark Crusaders or about her?" Silver Spoon asked, Diamond's face froze she was shocked.

"I... I don't know, she will be mad that I wasn't able to be the flag carrier for Ponyville, if I don't tell I'll be in more trouble and if I lie then..." Diamond Tiara spoke, looking away from her best friend.

"I know Di, don't worry you can just blame it on me. She'll believe it, you know she never like you being friends with me." Silver Spoon spoke, Diamond Tiara looked at Silver in shock.

"I can't do that again. I've already used you as a scapegoat a lot, she might force me to stop being friends with you. I can't lose my best friend." Diamond Tiara said, Silver wrapped her hoof around Diamond's body pulling her friend into a hug.

Diamond gave a smile to her best friend, the gray coated earth pony filly and pink coated earth pony filly walked towards Sugar Cube Corner, Diamond Tiara wanted something sweet after losing the flag carrier, Sugar Cube Corner is the stop. Diamond Tiara walked into Sugar Cube Corner, she had her nose high and her eyes closed, the pink earth pony filly walked into something, her eyes shot open to see her lips pressing against the male dragon; Spike. Diamond Tiara pushed him away in a fit of rage, brushing off her tongue with her hoof.

"You dare kiss me!" Diamond yelled out, she was blushing at the kiss that she shared with him.

"You walked into me, it was a mistake, that's it." Spike said, Diamond let out a growl.

She looked at the dragon, not knowing how to feel about the kiss, Diamond gave off a small smirk.

"You are just a unless Blank Flank, wait you're worst since even a Blank Flank would get a Cutie Mark, but you will never belong in Pony kind. Just some freak that walks around never to be good at anything in his life!" Diamond Tiara spoke, smirking.

"As long as my friends are by my side, I know that I will feel wanted." Spike said, folding his arms.

Silver Spoon stayed quiet, watching her best friend who bit her lip. Diamond kept opening and closing her mouth, trying to think of an comeback to the baby dragon. She looked at Silver Spoon who gave return with a shrug, the gray earth pony filly rather not get involved. Diamond Tiara let out a loud groan.

"Come Silver Spoon, this place is lame!" Diamond Tiara said, storming out of the shop.

"I said we're leaving!" Diamond yelled towards her friend, Silver looked back towards Spike and whisper to him, 'sorry' before following her friend outside.

Spike was just lucky that there was barely any pony in Sugar Cube Corner when he shared his accidental kiss with Diamond Tiara, he silently walked out of the shop, his head facing towards the ground. Kicking the pebbles on his way back to Golden Oak Library, it was a bad habit that he got into, where ever he was walking he just had to kick the same rock all the way to wherever he was heading. One time being over thirty minutes late, saying that the rock he was kicking was one from the Crystal Empire when Twilight question him.

"Am I useless?" He asked himself, thinking about how much of a little help he is towards his friends.

'Don't worry Spike, we got this, you can just sit back while we handle everything' Twilight's voice rang through his head.

'He's more of a annoyance then a help, he been ruining everything he touches!' Applejack's voice rang through his head.

'Spike there's no need for you to help me, I fine for now.' Fluttershy's voice rang through his head.

'Umm... Spike you kinda need wings if you want to be my assistant, plus you're not cool enough for me.' Rainbow Dash voice spoke inside his head.

Spike rubbed away the tears running down his face, nothing more than a bother. The baby dragon began to think he was nothing to any pony, he had nothing he was good at, screws up on the simple tasks, he couldn't even get a book for Twilight without burning the pages.

Spike waddled past Twilight, he ignore her calling his name. Spike lay in his basket bed, his head buried into his pillow. Spike soon drifted off to sleep, his dreams were haunted by the thoughts of his friends kicking him to the side and just replacing him with someone better, someone that wouldn't break everything that he touches. Letting out some tears onto his pillow, once day came, he woke up with a tired yawn escaping his lips, having tossed and turned throughout the night, he barely got a wink of sleep.

Spike rubbed his tired eyes, holding the list that Twilight gave him after breakfast, the purple unicorn just wanted some new quills and paper. He bumped into somepony, dropping the list Twilight gave him. A gray colour hoof picked it up for him, Spike looked to see a smiling Silver Spoon holding his list. The baby dragon just took the list without saying a word.

"I'm sorry about yesterday!" Silver Spoon cried out, Spike turn to her, confusion filled his eyes.

"I know I didn't do anything, but I should have! Diamond had no right to talk to you like that." Silver Spoon kept talking, Spike listen in silence.

"I just hope you and her are happy. Because I am useless, no pony likes me. My crush would only wave her hoof at me to shoo me away, I can't even cook a pie. I completely useless." Spike said, sinking against the wall of a random building.

Silver Spoon sat next to him, pulling him close to her. Giving the baby dragon a nice warm hug.

"That's not true, I have always found you... Cute, I was just afraid of saying it out loud since that you always following around that one pony with hearts floating out of you." Silver Spoon said, Spike looked at her, knowing that Silver Spoon is telling him the truth.

"You're cute as well. Those glasses pull the whole look together." Spike spoke, Silver Spoon gave off a blush and smile.

"Really?" She asked, playing with her mane with her front right hoof.

"Silver Spoon do you want to go out sometime, like a date?" Spike asked, stuttering out his words.

Silver Spoon let out a small giggle, giving the baby dragon a kiss on his cheek.

"I'll love too." Silver Spoon said, Spike smiled.

Silver Spoon and Spike decide to meet the next day at Sunset Hill, the hill was named because it was the best place for couples to watch the sunset and see the orange light reflection off the clam ocean with the waves gently hitting the side of the cliff. The gray filly and purple baby dragon sat there in the middle of the day where no many ponies were around to bother them.

Spike set out the red and pink pattern picnic blanket, and the brown basket. Silver Spoon cuddle close to the baby dragon, taking bites from her sandwich. Spike had his arm wrapped the gray earth pony filly, Silver had her head resting on his shoulder, he didn't know if the two of them were together. Some thoughts ran through his mind, thinking that Silver Spoon just decide to give him a petty date.

"Did you just agree to this because you felt sorry for me?" Spike asked, he just need to know.

Silver pulled away from Spike, she looked at him in shook.

"No! I swear, Diamond might be controlling and always wants things to go her way. I stood by her since she's my friend. But I didn't say yes to our date because I felt sorry. I say yes because I have feeling towards you, I'm not too sure on how I feel, but I know that you are kind and caring that I feel like I have time decide." Silver Spoon spoke, Spike lower his head.

"Sorry about that, I was just worried. Since Diamond told me I was useless, my head has been filled with doubt." Spike said, Silver lifted his head.

Spike looked into her gorgeous moderate violet coloured eyes and saw her glimmering smile, Spike return the smile that Silver Spoon gave him, the gray earth pony pulled the baby dragon into a hug, feeling the warmth from his scales against her gray coat.

"Do you want to be my filly friend?" Spike asked, flinching at his question.

Silver Spoon giggled into her hoof, giving Spike a kiss on his cheek. He rubbed the spot with his claw and gave a smile, Silver Spoon was slightly smiling towards the purple and green scale baby male dragon.

"Yes, I'll love to be your filly friend." Silver Spoon said, Spike smiled with the new couple enjoying their first date on Sunset Hill.

Diamond Tiara is furious, Silver Spoon has always been lying to the pink earth pony filly. Diamond knew Silver since the two were fouls, the gray earth pony has never been good at lying, normally leaving the lies and the tricks to Diamond Tiara. Silver had small tells, it a little difficult for any pony else beside Diamond. Silver would look away, normally towards the ground, her hoof would kick against the dirt.

She gently bite her lip, and start tipping over her words and stuttering through her words. Most of the time, the gray earth pony would make up words hoping that no pony would noticed her. Silver Spoon was keeping something to herself, even after the promise that she and Diamond made together, to never keep secrets from each other. In class and on the playground, Silver Spoon would get lost in thought and a light red blush would grow on her cheeks whenever she got lost in her thoughts.

"Where are you going?" Diamond asked, standing at the entrance and only exit of the school.

"Di... Hi, umm... I just ... Just, need to help my dad! Yeah, dad... He, umm... He needs me at home to, umm... To do my homework! I'm a bit behind at the moment, so... Umm... I just need to get home fast, he says that I can't play with my friends until all my homework is finished." Silver said, giving off a worried smile.

Diamond Tiara let out a 'hmm' towards Silver Spoon, the gray filly kept her worried smile on her lips. Diamond raised her eyebrow, knowing that Silver is keeping something locked away from her. Diamond gave a fake smile, Silver could finally breathe again, thinking Diamond fake smile was a real smile.

"That's fine. I wish you luck." Diamond said, Silver just nodded without saying a word.

"Bump, Bump, Sugar Lump Rump!" They both said, doing they the moments for their dance.

Diamond gave a wave to Silver, watching the gray coated filly walking away, her fake smile turned into a sinister grin. Silver Spoon could breath once again, she rather not have Diamond Tiara find out that she is dating Spike. She open the door to Sugar Cube Corner, the door hit the golden bell that filled the shop with a light ringing noise.

She gave a smile towards Spike, see him sitting by himself at the table. She sat opposite of him, Spike gave her a kind smile. Pinkie put down two chocolate milkshakes for the couple, Spike listen to Silver talking about how her day, stating the fact that Diamond might be on to her.

"Why should you worry about what she thinks, you're the one that controls your own life." Spike said, Silver gave off a soft smile.

Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes, hearing sweet talk between them made her sick, seeing Spike happy with some pony else. Diamond didn't know how to feel, she wanted to be in Silver Spoon's place, having a date with Spike. The pink filly hoped at it was just a one time thing, maybe that Silver wasn't dating the baby dragon for real.

Diamond burn with jealous, thinking it was that she lost her best friend. She saw Silver and Spike share a kiss on the lips, the pink earth pony filly kept picturing herself in that spot, wanting to kiss Spike once again. Flaring up in a blush, with the thought in her head, Diamond shook her head storming up to the couple.

"Ah! Diamond, what... What are you doing here?" Silver asked, after she and Spike finished kissing.

"I knew you were lying to me, why Si, any friend that lies to me are no friend of mine!" Diamond Tiara cried out, storming out of Sugar Cube Corner.

Author's Note

Now for the sinister reason why this was removed, it was because I start connecting Tales of Love Three with Scootaloo's Accidental Harem since I was working on both stories at the same time. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are apart of Scootaloo's Harem and to also be apart of Spike's harem would be weird.

Anyway, this might be two chapter, this one more on Spike x Silver Spoon while the next chapter is more on Spike x Diamond Tiara, maybe a third short chapter with both of them, if I feel like it. These two got replace by Little Strongheart in Tales of Love Three, just if anyone wants to see that. Before anyone else ask, no pony else is joining this is just a deleted story from The Tales of Love Three, no CMC, no Gabby, or Babs Seed. Now, thinking about it, Babs Seed is the only Crusader that I haven't shipped with Spike yet, does anyone would like to read that?

Cutie Marks; Part Two

The day started like any other, besides Spike holding his new filly friend; Silver Spoon close to him. He rubs his claw down her back to try and calm the crying filly down. Now friendless, when Diamond Tiara spotted them kissing at Sugar Cube Corner, things got weird. Diamond and Silver stopped talking with each other, then when Spike wasn't hanging with Silver Spoon, Diamond tried to steal him away.

Flirting with the baby dragon, wanting to steal him away from the gray-coated filly that used to be her best friend. Diamond still didn't know how to feel when she sees Spike. It started with a single accidental kiss that the two shared, she would giggle at the thought.

Spike towards Diamond Tiara's mansion it stood high, towering over most of Ponyville, the second largest place next to the Castle of Friendship. He knocked his claw on the door, causing an earth pony to open the door, the stallion looked down towards Spike with his light cobalt blue color eyes, his mane is a light apple greenish grey color, while his coat is a pale shade of light grayish indigo.

"Can I see Diamond Tiara?" Spike asked he blinked turning back to walk inside.

"Lady Diamond Tiara, a young gentleman is here to see you." Spike heard the stallion say, it echoes through the halls of the mansion.

"Should I tell the dragon to leave then?" Spike couldn't catch what Diamond Tiara was saying back, but soon the pink earth pony stood in front of Spike.

She began to fix her mane and smiled brightly at him. Spike just raised his eyebrow at her, looking confused at the beaming Diamond Tiara.

"Sorry about Randolph. How may I help you, do you finally want to be with a real filly?" Diamond asked Spike took a step back.

"How about we talk somewhere else."

"Great! It's a date!" Diamond cried out.

The pink earth pony filly pull Spike by the arm, Diamond pulled Spike around Ponyville, she taps her chin wondering where she should take the male dragon. Spike grabbed onto Diamond's hoof, causing the filly to blush, the two of them sat in a fast food restaurant.

A plate of a hay burger sat in front of Diamond Tiara, she gave the burger a poke with her hoof, looking over the food with cursory, looking at Spike eating the strange food. She felt her belly start to rumble, deciding to take a small bite out of the burger, her lips puckered going inside her mouth. Her eyes widen, the taste from the hay burger, she began to eat much more of the burger, Spike looked over to the filly.

"Have you never had a hay burger before?" Spike asked

"My mother never allowed me saying it would get me fat and ruin my figure." Diamond said.

"There was a lot of things that I never was able to do." She spoke, turning away.

"That's horrible," Spike said, Diamond just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's not that bad, she just wants me to become the perfect daughter. Since I was a big disappointment, with my cute-ceañera, and editor-in-chief of the Foal Free Press." Diamond said Spike looked around the Hay burger, letting out a soft sigh.

"You're not a big disappointment, you might not be perfect, but you're amazing in your own way. Diamond you could be so much more than you are, and well I think once you get there, you'll be great." Spike said, causing Diamond to turn her head, her cheeks heating up in a blush.

Diamond's eyes widen in shock when she felt Spike's lips touching her cheek. She looked at the baby dragon, who began to walk away, leaving the pink earth pony filly alone, Diamond move her right hoof to touch her right cheek, she gave a slight smile.

Her heart did a little flutter in her chest, she didn't know the strange feeling within her, she just thought she was jealous because of Spike stealing away her best friend, but now, feeling his lips once again. It felt like magic, kind of wonderful feeling within in. Diamond crushed the empty cup in her hoof, her eyes flaring with rage, upset that Silver Spoon has been keeping those magical lips to herself.

Diamond Tiara stood up, kicking the chair away from her, causing other fillies and colts in the burger restaurant to look over at the bully of the school in surprise. Diamond storm out of the burger restaurant, pushing away any fillies or colts that stood in her way.

The next day at school, Silver notice the glares that Diamond was giving to the gray earth pony filly, Silver just wave towards her best friend before turning back to the blackboard. Silver could still feel Diamond's cold icy stares that the pink earth pony filly gave to her, Silver looked with the corner of her eye, seeing Diamond writing down the math problem that was written on the board.

Silver Spoon shook her head, getting back to work. Her eyes looked up at the clock, and smile knowing that she'll see Spike after class. The ticking echo in her head, with the ticking getting louder with each tick, that past by. The scratching on the blackboard made her shiver, with the deaf noise of the ticking pasting, Silver Spoon finally heard that sweet bell ring.

Fillies and colts rushed out of the classroom, pushing past Miss Cheerilee, who only shook her head with a smile. Silver walked outside, Diamond bump her, Silver just glare at the pink earth pony filly, letting out a huff. She headed towards the park, smiling once she saw Spike.

Spike gave his filly friend a kiss on her lips, Silver felt a flutter within her. Spike took his time to explain to Silver about him hanging out with Diamond Tiara, wanting to get the two fillies to start talking once again. The grey coated earth pony rubbed her chin in a thought, giving off a grin.

"Great idea." Silver said she pulled the confused baby dragon into a soft kiss before she ran away.

Spike only scratch his head in confusion. Silver Spoon tapped Diamond on her shoulder, the pink earth pony filly turns to Silver while scowling at her former best friend.

"What do you want?" Diamond Tiara asked Silver gave a smirk.

"I was unfair to you, I know that. But, I do love Spike, and you do too." Silver said Diamond decided to stay silent and only raise her eyebrow.

"What are you saying?" She questions, Silver gave a small giggle.

"We share him. We'll be his filly friends, you know a herd or harem. Whatever ponies or dragons call it, you in?" Silver asked, holding out her hoof.

Diamond took a hold of Silver Spoon's hoof, Silver pulled the tiara-wearing filly into a tight hug, Diamond gave a small smile and return the hug.

At the Castle of Friendship, Spike heard knocking at the door, the baby dragon open the door to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon staying next to each other, smiling at him.

"Have you girls finally become friends again?" Spike asked the two earth ponies looked at each other.

"Yes, and well Diamond and I both like you." Silver said

"We decided that besides fighting over you, we decided to share you." Diamond spoke, Spike blinked at the two of them.

"What," Spike said, he couldn't believe what he heard.

"You heard us, Dragon Boy. We both want to date you." Diamond said, Spike just blinks at the two fillies.

"Umm, I'm not sure how well it would work out, but I guess we could give it a try," Spike said

Silver Spoon gave him a kiss on his lips and then after Silver broke the kiss that she shared with him. Diamond Tiara grab ahold of the baby dragon and pulling into a deep kiss, Spike was frozen after getting kissed by two fillies, Diamond and Silver gives the dragon and hug, with Silver and Diamond kissing him on both of his cheeks.

Author's Note

I am so sorry that this is late, this is what I wanted to do, I wanted to finish both chapters before it was finish, since would be a two part story. But, Diamond Tiara is much harder to write, which is weird since I had no problem with her in Scootaloo's Accidental Harem.

But, I have been busy, with my other stories. Tales of Love Three have been put on hold because Lyra is a pain. Then as most should know, I did a Re-Write of the first Tales of Love story with Spike shipped with the Mane Six, no Starlight Glimmer. Plus this was a pain, I rushed the ending and I know that. What I should've done is wrote both chapters and had them out at the same time.

But, I'm a idiot. Everyone should know that by know. Well I hope so, cheers for now.
