The Elite (By Totally Awesome Foals)

Diamond Tiara P.O.V.

Today was the day, Tender Taps would show all the ponies around what is like to be a great dancer, and I, I would finally meet my soulmate, maybe it Button Mash, maybe Chipcutter, or even maybe....No, not Rumble, Rumble would be a disaster.....Maybe it could even be Train's brother, Lazer....Beak? He is so mysterious, I don't even know his name, but his charm, he is so....Everything I dream with, even with the visual failure he has.

-What do you think? I have great chances?

-Actually, if you added Pipsqueak, Snails, Snips, Rumble, Train Tracks, Shady Daze, Featherweight and Carrot Crunch, I would say you have high chances of....Having a bad companion, something around seventy percent of chance - Silver Spoon is a great friend, but A TERRIBLE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

-I don't care, I'm going, what else can happen there? If it is any of them, I can just go away and pretend it never happened - I cared about feelings, but I can't be seem with bad companions

I got one of my best dresses and tried it, coming back to Silver Spoon, who was just talking to somepony else outside the window.

-Hey, who are you talking to?

-D-D-Diamond Tiara? Sorry, nopony and-......Wow, you are amazing.....Looks like something from a movie

-What do you mean? Light cyan makes me even more beautiful than I already am

-You look like some ice princess, now you can oppose your hot-headed Lazer Burn

-Lazer Beak Silver, Lazer Beak

-I was joking, his name is Lazer Blast - I facehoofed myself

-You know what? I can't lose my time, but when I'm back, you gonna tell me everything you did here, I saw it - She looked so nervous while trying to hide it

-Good luck, you can do it Diamond

I rolled my eyes to her, I would just go outside to try to get there sooner, but I wanted to look around for somepony, after all, Silver Spoon couldn't be talking to herself.

-Okay, show yourself, you know I saw it, what you were talking with Silver Spoon

A filly jumped out of the bush, her wings filled with thorns.

-H-Hey, Diamond Tiara.......I was trying to find ingredients, we need a potion, and these sleep thorns might help Pipsqueak with.....With his.....Just more 5 minutes, pleeeeeeeeeas- - She just fell asleep in front of me

-Okaaaay, I'm going then.......SILVER SPOON, SHE IS ASLEEP

-She?- Oh yeah, I was helping her with....This, of course - Her nervousness hasn't disappeared yet

-If you say so.....Bye then - She was acting so out of normal, just as Scootaloo - Now, secret admirer, here I go

When I finally found my place in the middle of the filled crowd, I noticed some angry looks, Tender Taps was taking too much time, so I just took my place and waited, by my side, a free space, where he would sit while we watch that dancer colt, then when everypony claps for him we will kiss at midnight and it will be perfect, what could go wrong?

-Hey Diamond, I didn't know you would come - And of course, by my other side, this big dork was sitting there to ruin everything

Think, what to do? If Snips is here, maybe your future special somepony can be annoyed and go away, leaving you to nothing but humiliation in front of everypone else .

-Hey Snips, could you please go see why they are taking so long? By the way, take all the time you need

-Huh? Okay, I don't mind - He left his place going to check with the security ponies next to the stage

-Everything is going accord my plan, now he only needs to appear - I waited for five long minutes, nothing

-Hey Diamond, seems like Tender Taps had some......Troubles to come here, even Apple Bloom went missing, they don't know what to do - Sadly, Snips came back

-Okay, seems like I will be a plant today, standing still until something happens

-Snails says something like this when he meditates

-Don't compare me to your friend, he is so.....So.......Ugh! Sorry, but caring snails in your own body freaks me

-You can get used to it if you try....Maybe not you, but Silver did - What he knows about Silver that I don't? - And I did too when we met at-

-Sorry to interrupt, but, you said Silver Spoon got used to....Snails?

-Yeah, she did, I was just surprised as you - He knows things about Silver Spoon that I don't, great

-Okay, can you please explain how you know it? Silver Spoon never said anything about passing time with Snails - Maybe I finally found out the REAL pony she was talking to

-Well it is a long story, and Snails made me promise I wouldn't tell anypony else, sorry

-C'mon, if we are going to lose time, make it fun at least

-Okay, okay, listen.........They dated yesterday - My heartbeat got really intense after this

-THEY WHAT? HOW? WHERE? WHY? - Everypony looked at me, angry- Oops, sorry about that

The shame of everypony looking angry at you, Snips was already ruining it

-Maybe we can discuss it later, okay? Tell me everything after the show - I winked at him, he answered with a goofy smile

-Spoiler alert! She didn't dump him - I holded my own scream to not repeat the same mistake this time

-I want so much explanation, she didn't even tell me about it or asked my opinion

-Maybe she feels the need to be more with herself than with you? - How dared he?

-Of course not, Silver Spoon is my best....Best friend, she would never...

-You are feeling what you felt when she voted on Pipsqueak, right?

-NO! I just......I feel betrayed, how you and Snails can keep the trust for so long?

-We didn't, he never told me about it too, I found out when I sneaked up on him

-Like Jelly Bond?

-Exactly like......You like actions movies?

-No, I hate fights, but those agents and spies, I can give them a chance, I wanted to be sneaky like that, gadgets and suits included

-You are rich, you could try to, maybe it suits you.....Just like the dress - For one moment I just forgot about the date I had thanks to him

-The dress is just for my date, nothing else, I don't enjoy looking like a princess everytime, just when ponies are looking at me

-So.......When you are alone you take off the make up and start to dance heavy metal? - He got a laugh out of me

-Are you kidding me? Of course not, classicals all the day.......Except when mommy and daddy left me alone, don't tell anypony else about this

-You can keep your secret with me.....WAIT! Why they left you alone? isn't it dangerous?

-Not to me, my family haves high security, including new devices from Ob.....How was it? Obliterator? Something like that - He looked insatisfied with the answer

-B-But, don't you ever feel like you are....Alone? No parents taking care of you most of the time is....Kind of sad?

-Not to me....My mother is.......My mother is something really special in mother terms, and my dad is just too occupied sometimes, so I'm always capable of being alone, or with Silver Spoon sometimes

-Lucky you - I waited his next question, silence for 5 minutes

-Why are you so quiet? Something wrong?

-My dad.......We ruined everything - He looked at the ground without the same joy of everyday

-What do you mean? You fought or-

-My mom, she is not with us anymore, if you look at his cutie mark you will understand why, he is always trying to be a puppeeter, but loses the strings of everything, and when I was born, I cutted his strings, she isn't here because of me, and I miss her - I tried to look down to not look at his face, but he started crying, tears dropping on the ground one by one

-W-Why would it be your fault? You are not the most great thing that your family had but-

-BECAUSE SHE WAS THE PUPPET, I CUTTED HER OUT, AND YOU AREN'T HELPING - He called the attention of every single pony around us, this time, they wouldn't leave us alone

Maybe it was the relativity of a bad mother and no mother at all but....I'm almost sure it was to get rid of the eyes on us, I hugged him in front of them and wipped the tears from his eyes.

-It's okay, you couldn't change it anyway, at least you can be happy even with....The little you have - He hugged me back, while the glares of ponies showed enjoyment - But get over it, I can't let any of us look like that in front of these pairs

-Y-yeah, right, sorry... - He backed away looking like a mess of blush and tears, but with a smile

-And if you tell him about it...

-Oh yeah, I won't, another secret I will keep.....Hey, you got flowers? - Why flowers?

-No? I still waiting for- - He handed me a a bouquet of flowers, paper flowers

-I hope you don't mind, I didn't have anypony else to-

-S-Snips, I'm sorry, they looked beautiful and....Well made, but I can't accept them

-It's okay, I knew I should have painted them

-And why are you giving me this? You should....Where is she?

-Who exactly?

-You know........Your filly

-I'm just a colt, I don't have a daughter yet you silly

-I was talking about.......Nevermind

-Talking about that....You have any plans?

-Marry some beautiful stallion, two or three kids and a big mansion, even bigger than my actual home

-I dream about a me and a filly, living next to restaurants to get easy pizza, maybe only one kid, and one big workshop to my....Well, my work

-Decent to you, but........You would mind if we lived next to each others? I think I liked the restaurant idea

-No way, I would never want you to be my neighbor - We laughed until something finally happened

The lights turned on, the introduction music started playing.

-I can't even imagine I was left here like a plant all this time

-Was it so bad? Sorry then - I grabbed his cheek turning his face to me

-Listen, it wasn't bad, I just feel like I......I was somehow left alone - Now it was my time to lower my head and look to the ground as a wonderer

-O-Oh, really? Can I do something to help you or maybe-

-Snips, you know what? Who cares about it? I'm going to watch a big show, and with a good friend of mine, no time to be sad about it

-That's the Diamond Tiara I missed - When suddenly the show started, something happened, something crashed behind the curtains

-Uuuuhn, Snips? Why do I feel like this show is going to be a big mess?

-Next time I will find a theater, these guys don't know what they're doing - We hoof bumped each other whie waiting

In the middle of everything, I finally heard the steps, it was him, he was finally here, IT WAS...

-Sorry, I'm late - Silver Spoon just sat by my side, with some popcorn

And worst, she was wearing a brightful dress, probaly filled with pieces of silver, I wanted to rip off her head, because of Snails, and because she took my secret admirer's place

-Silver Spoon, can you get off this place?

-But I just sat, this is my place, I told I was coming with you when you told me about your secret admirer......Hey Snips

Snips: Hello, so, you and him?

-Yeah, YOU! And HIM! - I wasn't so mad, but she fell for it

-You told her? You promised - She tried to reach Snips but I didn't let her pass over me

-Nuh-uh, you are going to explain me later, understood? Now get out of his place

-....Snips, do I tell her or you do it? She didn't notice

-She didn't? But.....

-What do you mean? Tell me what? What is happening?

-Your secret admirer is here

-WHERE? - I got up trying to find any impressive colt around, and I just found Lazer.......With a pink and blue filly, Candy, the hayburguer future owner... - Are you kidding me? He isn't here

-Diamond-

-What? Are you going to tell me you are...You are the one who wrote the card, right? - I felt bad for not noticing it before

-The bouquet of paper flowers didn't say that much, huh? Feels bad discovering it that way, sorry about keeping two secrets from you

-You knew it was him? - seventy percent my flank, traitor

-Diamond, maybe you should-

-Don't ask me to calm down when she just lied to me two times in a row, she ruined my night

-Why? You would come if you knew it was me? - His question made me lose my confidence right there - Answer!

-N-No......I wouldn't

-So don't be angry at her, be angry at me......I tried to reach your expectations, I even came well dressed, you expected me to be waiting too? Or worse, you expected I was dumped just like....Just like First Base dumped you? - I had no words to answer

-Wow, I will get more popcorn, be right back - She left as the coward she is

-I just.....I'm sorry okay? I never knew it could be so.....Good to have a friend like you here, I just thought you wanted a better filly or...

-Face it, you would never give me a chance, enjoy the show with Silver Spoon

He left his place, going away.

-H-Hey, wait, you don't get it, I liked it, but maybe we shouldn't....We shouldn't let this end like this? Maybe it can work

-After all this time, I thought you were here, expecting me to be your the one who wrote the card, I gave you flowers, the same flowers, I cutted myself trying to make them, scissors can be dangerous when you don't know how to use your magic...And to be honest, you think you are better than me, I can't change it - He left for real, and I couldn't find anyway to complain, he was right

-Okay, I'm back, what just happened?.....Diamond are you - I grabbed her by the neck - WHAT?

-HE IS RIGHT? TELL ME HE ISN'T, I'M NOT LIKE MY MOTHER, AM I? - I was crying desperately

-N-No? Not at all, why? I thought you didn't want to date some dork like him, come on, get over it, why you are crying about it?

-Because, my loyal and honest friend, I WAS WRONG, I really liked it, and I couldn't even see him just the way I see anypony else, or even you, because I'm blind, I'm too blinded to see simple things, like the flower he send on the card being just like the ones on the bouquet - And I had a great idea

-Wait, the bouquet - I reached my place again, the bouquet was there, laying on the ground, I took it with me - Maybe I can make this work after all

-......So, are you really going to ask him for another date? Can you really say ''I'm going to date Snips'' without cringing?

-Yes I do, maybe we were wrong all this time, we need to learn good ponies are beyond money sometimes, and sometimes even beyond intelligence - I grabbed her shoulder - Silver Spoon, call Zipporwhirll, we will need help, I want something big, something he won't say no to

-Maybe big things are a waste of time, specially for...Him

-For real? You just dated Snails, you can't say anything about my decisions right now, unless you help me, and to be honest...Maybe he is not so bad, we have many things in common, and if you ask me, I can say he tried really hard to, even after all these years of bullying, he deserves it

-Aw richy, here we go again
