The last visage of sunshine slowly disappeared, hidden the remaining clouds that now populated Ponyville’s skies, as ponies scrambled to their homes, not eager to be caught under the upcoming storm. From afar, a single filly watched, letting out a long sigh as the first droplets began to fall, quickly devouring the town in a loud downpour.
“Hey, Diamond Tiara! I got the games!” one Silver Spoon called as she entered the room, precariously balancing multiple boxes, but promptly being unceremoniously dropped on the floor. “Uh-oh,” she waited for a scolding to come, but all she received in return was silence, as Diamond continued staring outside. Confused, she waited for a response, but after minutes without comment, she tried to speak: “DT? Are you o—“
“What do you think they are up to?” Diamond suddenly said.
“They? What do you mean, Diamond?” Silver replied intrigued.
“You know…” Diamond trailed on, looking far across town, where she could barely make up the insurmountable amount of apple trees in the distance. “No, never mind. Just forget it.”
“Oh, come on! Please?” Silver pleaded, joining her by the window to search, watching past the unfurling storm outside. “What are you are looking at? Don’t leave me hanging!”
“But Silver…” Diamond whimpered, pushing the thoughts away as she fell back on the floor with a pout. “You’ll think it’s dumb! I don’t wanna talk about it!”
Smiling, Silver joined Diamond on the floor, giggling as they came face-to-face, but to her dismay, earning her a disapproving glare. “Oh, I guess you are really serious about this, huh?” Diamond didn’t utter a word, jumping back on her hooves. She quickly paced around the room; closing the drapes, pushing the games away, and locking the room’s door.
“It’s okay,” Diamond assured her. “I just don’t want anypony to hear,” taking a deep breath, she flopped down next to Silver. “Do you promise that you won’t say anything about this to anypony?”
Silver nodded. “Of course! I can keep your secret.”
“Okay,” taking a deep breath, Diamond let out the words. “I was looking outside because I was wondering what the CMC were doing over in their clubhouse.”
Silver blinked, slowly registering the words. “Wait, what?”
“I knew you’d think it was weird!” Diamond groaned.
“It’s not! I mean, it kinda is, but not like you think!” Silver tried to explain, trying not to fumble her words. “It’s just been months since we’ve even talked to them. Not since they, like, got their cutie marks and all.”
“That’s exactly it,” Diamond sighed. “And ever since then, what have we been doing?”
“… I’m lost again,” Silver noted. She shot anxious glances at Diamond Tiara, searching her face for anything that would suggest a prank, but receiving nothing of the sort to aid her theory. “Okay, what’s this about, DT? I hope this isn’t about what I think it is,” she asked hopeful, cringing at the memory of a spoiled pony.
“I’m not that pony anymore!” Diamond nearly shouted, barely able to hold her voice back, indignant over the implications in Silver’s words. “B-But…” she stammered, gritting her teeth as she let her thoughts out. “The thing is, I don’t even know what pony I am anymore.”
Silver’s gaze softened, replaced by worry. “What do you mean?”
“All this time since I, well—since I changed. Ever since then, all we’ve been doing is going to school, then coming back home to hang out in my room. We never do anything like we used to! Or at all! I mean, sure all the things that we did back then were just to be mean, but now all we are doing is staying home, just playing dumb games to pass the time!” she said as she kicked a nearby box. “We ignore everypony at school! It’s almost like we just pushed ourselves to the side, as if we aren't needed anymore!”
Silver was left speechless, unable to come up with something to say. She peered out the window, as if hoping the rain would provide an answer somehow, but all she received was the harsh sounds of water pounding against the glass.
“Wow, I-I don’t know what to say,” her ears drooped sadly, noticing the box Diamond had kicked, taking notice of the scattered contents. “I thought we were just having fun on our own. I didn’t know you had those thoughts.”
“No, I thought the same,” Diamond sighed, walking off to pick-up her mess. “I didn’t have to be mean to anypony, and no one hated me anymore. I was happy!”
“Then what happened?” Silver asked, almost afraid to do so. “I mean, nopony hates you anymore, right? If you are just lonely, I’m sure we could go outside and play with everypony!”
“That's just it; what if I’m still a big jerk?” Diamond asked, barely able to hold back a whimper. “If we go out and play, what if I start acting like one again?”
“DT…”
“Like, I still have nightmares where I tell ponies mean things!” she continued, pacing around the room as her mind ran wild with thoughts. “I mean, I sometimes still call the CMC blank flanks! I thought I was over it, but it’s like I wasn’t!”
“Diam—“
“What if I can’t ever be actually nice!”
“Diamond!”
“Ah!” Diamond froze, noticing Silver Spoon trembling. Her face twisted in a scowl, barely able to hold herself together. “S-Silver?”
“You aren’t that pony anymore!” she began.
“But how do you k—“
“Because we always hang out. Come on, DT!”
“Yeah, but it’s not like I would be the same around the ot—“
“Yes, you would!”
“How would you know that!?”
Silver slowly opened her mouth, breathing heavily before she finally said: “Because I can talk to you like this, silly.”
Diamond’s eyes widened, slowly realizing what Silver meant. “O-Oh…”
“The old Diamond Tiara would have already thrown a tantrum and have me kicked out,” Silver continued, smiling weakly.
“I guess,” Diamond agreed. She turned to look out the window once more, only to be met by a rain of sunshine. “Ah, I guess it stopped raining.”
“Wanna go play outside?” Silver suggested suddenly, catching Diamond by surprise.
"Huh?" Diamond gulped. “B-But, that's so sudden!”
“Would you at least try? Please?” Silver pleaded.
Unable to ignore SIlver's puppy dog stare, she sighed. “Okay. I'll try,” Diamond replied hesitantly.
“Yay! Come on! We can even wear your favorite rain boots!”
It didn’t take them long to be at the front door, ready to step into the muddy roads towards Ponyville.
“Silver?” Diamond called, her hoof floating over the door's handle.
“Yeah?”
“What if this doesn’t work? What if I mess this up royally?”
“Well,” Silver said as she slowly pushed Diamond's hoof with her, opening the door. “Even if you mess this up, I’ll still be your friend no matter what!”
"Oh, Silver..." brimming with tears, Diamond managed a smile, looking outside as a sense of relief washed over her. “Okay, I'm sooo looking forward to knock on that door.”
Author's Note
I did a new story hi.
So, yeah, I've been meaning to write SOMETHING about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon for a while, and since this just happened to pop into my head, here you have it!
Pretty short story, as you can already see, but I seem to do much better when I write them this way. That being said, I really, REALLY hope you enjoyed it! And if you don't, feel free to tell me as well—I welcome anything that will only help me improve!
Anyway, thank you so much for reading! Till' next time! 
PS: Sorry if something like this has already been written. I hope I at least did SOMETHING different.
