1. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon
- Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. (The first page)
It was a beautiful evening in Ponyville, the foals started going to their homes, after all, school time had just ended and everypony just wanted to go home and eat or play videogames, but three certain fillies didn't, those fillies liked to call themselves 'the cutie mark crusaders', and they searched for their cutie marks, it was a long journey that wouldn't be easy, but they knew that it would all be worth it in the end.
The bad thing is that you can't get along with everypony in life, because the CMC didn't get along with two ponies: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, two bullies that always gave the CMC a hard time, being it making fun of their blank flanks or by making their mission difficult.
The two groups were approaching each other, the CMC didn't see them until they were face to face with them, they looked at each other in their eyes, the CMC didn't know what to do, everything was really awkward until Diamond Tiara spoke:
"Well, look who is here, the useless blank flanks and their respective non-talents."
Apple Bloom sighed. "Now what do you want?"
"Oh, nothing, we were just going to tell you about our new toys." Replied Silver Spoon.
"Oh, yes, and they are better companions than you could ever be." Said Diamond Tiara.
"Huh? Do you mean...?" Began Scootaloo.
"Yes, we got a pair of gossip-manes for our birthdays!" Exclamed Diamond Tiara.
"They can sing, they can dance, they even eat real food!" Teased Silver Spoon.
"They even seem like they have life." Finished Tiara.
"Shucks, you're so lucky... Wait, for your birthdays? I thought Silver Spoon's birthday was in March!" Apple Bloom pointed out.
"Yes, but unlike you, Silver Spoon is my friend, and I decided to give her a little something to thank her for always being by my side."
"And it's the best thing I ever received, too bad we're not friends with YOU, because if we were, then maybe we could share our toys, such a shame..."
"Hey! It's not our fault that you decided to bully us!" Yelled Scootaloo.
"And you think that turning everypony away from me in my own cute-ceañera feels better?" Replied Diamond Tiara.
"Hey, how about we all calm down and mind our own business?" Suggested Apple Bloom.
"Yes, I don't want to be around blank flanks anymore." Replied Diamond Tiara.
"You are like, so lame anyways." Followed Silver Spoon. After that, the spoiled fillies turned around and left the place, leaving an angered Scootaloo and a frustrated looking Apple Bloom.
"Ugh, can you believe it? Those bullies got a pair of gossip-manes! And they don't even deserve them!" Complained Scootaloo.
"Umm, What exactly are gossip-manes anyway?" Asked a confused Sweetie Belle.
"What?! Sweetie Belle! I thought you had one yourself!" Exclaimed a very surprised Apple Bloom.
"Let me explain, a gossip-mane is the most adorable, cutest and awesome toy you could ever find in Equestria!" Explained Scootaloo.
"Yes! They are the sweetiest things too! They can sing, they can tell jokes, they even can provide wise advice!" Followed Apple Bloom.
"They even seem to have life!" Finished Scootaloo.
"Huh, wonder how I didn't know about them." Said Sweetie Belle.
"Maybe because you need to be on trend some more." Replied Scootaloo, Apple Bloom chuckled and Sweetie Belle just glared at her.
"So, now what are we going to do?" Asked Sweetie Belle.
"I don't know about you, but I have to go home now, Applejack probably needs me doing something dumb like counting cores of apples or something dumb like that." Said Apple Bloom with an unamused esxprssion on her face. Her two friends giggled.
"I don't need to do something like that, but I need to finish the homework for this Friday." Said Sweetie Belle.
"Yeah, me too." Added Scootaloo. "If I don't do this homewrok I'll probably just forget about it entirely."
"Okay, then tomorrow will be the next crusader meeting." Said Apple Bloom.
"Yeah, I'll see you there." Said Scootaloo, running off.
"I wouldn't miss it for anything." Said Sweetie Belle, also leaving. Apple Bloom walked home after her two friends left. While she walked towards Sweet Apple Acres she thought about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, they got their own gossip-manes, that's cool, right?
Well, Apple Bloom tried to feel happy for them, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit... Jealous of them, the life on a farm was sweet and quiet, but she also wanted to have her own things, a gossip-mane for herself, a computer, or maybe one of those watches that also can tell you the weather on Manehattan and stuff like that, but it was just enough to mantain the farm and one occasional piece of furniture.
Apple Bloom liked her life, she was grateful for the family she had, the place in which she grew up, a place to live and all the stuff like that, but she also thought that she wanted something more, and something that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had but didn't exactly 'deserve'.
Apple Bloom shook those thoughts away, they may not be her friends yet, but that's no reason to be rude to them as well, they had their stuff and she had hers, Apple Bloom wouldn't change that if she could, and she was happy about it. Still, Apple Bloom thought about all the fun Diamond Tiara was going to have with her new toy, what could she be doing right now?
It was night time in Ponyville, and Diamond Tiara was playing with Silver Spoon, they had spent all afternoon in the park, they didn't even notice time go by, and when they did, it was getting really dark.
"Wow... Tiara, don't you think we should be going home now?" Asked Silver Spoon looking at the sky.
"What? Why do you say that?" Replied Tiara, looking at her friend, who just pointed at the sky, Diamond Tiara looked at her watch in response. "Oh! We passed the time limit dad gave us already? Come on, I'll let you stay in my home for the night, I'll figure out a way to let your parents know about it."
"Thanks, let's go." Replied Silver Spoon. They walked for five minutes, then, they noticed that their gossip-manes were beginning to act strange, the toys were acting like they had almost no battery, and when the fillies took a moment to check if the batteries were still alright, something happened.
From the bushes nearby, a pair of stallions covered with sunglasses, black hats and black coats jumped out, each one covered a filly's eyes with one hoof and put a cloth on their mouth with the other hoof. The fillies tried to scream for help, but they were getting dizzy to the point where they ended unconscious.
The first Stallion pulled out a mini walkie-talkie from under his hat and spoke:
"Black 024 here with Black 025 by my side, we got two more fillies who bought the toy, tell MAMA we have gifts for her."
