Canterlot City - Before and After The Reign

I’m Diamond Tiara. And, I’m the richest earth pony ever... or so I thought. Most people don’t know this, but I was less of an actual brat, and more of an independent woman. Ever since that day, I knew life would never be the same as I imagined. So much crazy shit had to go on, and money had to be thrown everywhere... Aside of that, I learned the hard way that you can either be a rough-cut bitch or a smoothly carved diamond. And, money can make you evil in a matter of time if you let it. And also, there is at least one or two friends to lead the way for you in the long run.

Before the Reign

From what I could remember, My daddy, Filthy Rich, was the dominator of the market back in the days of Equestria. Canterlot was a high-class town, and not too large as anyone would think. Nonetheless, it has its share of shops and restaurants, all top-reviews. Yes, we may act snobby, and talk like sophisticated brats (or at least I used to), but we took a name for ourselves because of status. We even take pride in our work by hiring creatures to work for us. But, what anybody doesn’t know is that Canterlot used to have this part of history where creatures other than high society ponies aren’t allowed anywhere, and are made slaves. Nasty business, huh? Well, that part of history’s long gone, baby! Princess Celestia made peace, and threw all that slavery crack out of the window! The reason? Friendship, of course. We all had to be taught that it’s the bigger value. Most of us don’t even like that logic too much...

Filthy was a major example on all that before I was even born, mind you. He had friends, but most of them were just employees of his companies. They play golf, drink, sail boats, and throw money around whenever they felt like it. On weekends, and sometimes after business hours.

Daddy took a huge gamble in his life, which changed everything. He met my mother, Spoiled Rich, a mare he thought was so pretty. He fell in love, but that love turned to money, and that money turned to her best friend, diamonds. Out of his own wealth, he managed to shower her with diamonds and gifts, left and right. And ever since then, they became king and queen of Canterlot. Flaunting, dating, sailing to exotic coasts, parties, you name it. What’s funny is that they even dreamed of taking on the world one day.

And then, he blinded her with a diamond ring, and they got married. For a while, they waited during their honeymoon on some exotic island, but once they were back, they had me. Daddy went crazy the minute he held me in my arms. Now, he felt like his world would change just as much as him. Mommy used to tell me that story all the time...

Their house was so huge, and had multiple rooms. We even had a butler taking care to things for us. When I grew up, Both Daddy and Spoiled took me on their trips to exotic beaches, and ate at high-class restaurants on my birthdays, flaunting like we were the talk of any town. We even stayed at fancy hotels, and were spoiled with comps trips and expensive clothes.

There was this one friend I had met during our trips named Silver Spoon, who was like a sister to me. We hit it off pretty well, and ever since, we had an unbreakable bond. Every now and then, we just act like superiors, calling out “blank flanks”, and just hang out like twin princesses whenever we were back in Canterlot. Just for the thrill of it, we get haters trying to push us back, but we cared less. We like showing ourselves off, making anybody jealous of us, just because it made us more like celebrities. Almost every night, we stop at my house and play tea party and talk posh and argue about anything useless. We were like glamorous movie stars, hahahaha!

It wasn’t until we met three certain blank flank ponies, and managed to get their titties twisted anytime, Hahahaha! What were their names again? Yeah, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo...

But, insults and fights aside, my life wasn’t all diamonds and rubies for a while. Karma fucked me and pushed me to a curve when it all went too far, even for my own self. But, every time I went home, Mother expects me to do my homework, be classy, learn my etiquette. One time, I asked if Silver could visit. She could’ve said ‘no’ normally, but instead leaned close to her and throw her a crazy scary backstory of old pony days when creatures were tortured for punishment. Celestia’s sake, that ended a long time ago!

She never had time for my friends, or any friends at all. She had been a damn high horse all the time. Every time I wanted to just yell at her ear, I’d risk getting my cute little ass spanked by her every time I said otherwise. Whenever shit hit the fan, I always depended on Daddy, or our butler.

We had this little election in school, where I had to compete against a classmate of mine, named Pipsqueak for playground development. He may be small, but his cute accent and heart made up for it. But what made him really stand out was the same three ponies by him. If it weren’t for them, I’d have that election in the bag. Not to mention that I snuffed Silver Spoon’s statue proposal. She just went and served me my own words. I couldn’t imagine the devastation I had to go through to hear these pathetic lectures from Spoiled. This bitch always talks about social standings and moving up in Equestria. Ugh... I felt so damn rough for my own name, it wasn’t funny. I just wanted to be a normal pony when everything just went down, with friends and everything. And, those three mares made me see to it that I could be a better mare.

Since the day I had to stood up to my absolute cunt of a mother, it was the craziest thing ever! All that weight just went out of my back, and I felt like a new mare! Not to mention the fact that I had to make amends with Silver, and Pipsqueak. Speaking of which, I did wink at him, not just because I’m a little less bratty and wanted to kiss his ass, but because he’s kinda cute and maybe I did want to, hmhmhmhm....

But, all hell had to break loose somehow, someway. That little show I put on became my nightmare, and I knew for sure I had a rich mare’s palm with my name right on it. She called me, and I obeyed all right. And just like that...

“Smack!” That loud sounds from her hand paddling my pink booty... Damn, it hurt so much, but I thought it was worth the episode I caused. And the crazy part is... I didn’t even squeal and cry, even though she expects me to...

“That money would’ve been for me if it weren’t for your little episode of me! And you’ve wasted everything I taught you just so you could socialize with degenerates! My own daughter made herself a useless ruffian like the rest of them!”

It’s surprising how a mare could do if she helped her fellow creatures instead of being so stuck-up. Of course, I had to be taught the opposite from her, even though Daddy said otherwise. Speaking of which, I heard him come out of the door. The minute he heard slapping sounds was the minute he had to rush his way in.

“Sweet Celestia, What the hell are you doing?!”

Spoiled had to tell him the whole her way. “What’s it look like I’m doing? Your daughter has done a number on my bank accounts, and had the nerve to use our names as an excuse to make me look bad!”

“Wait a minute... Your bank accounts? Don’t you mean ours? The accounts were Ours for a reason...” he replied back. That’s when Daddy and I first saw her true colors.

“Please, you make it seem like you’re locking me down away from the one thing that’s gonna move us up in Equestria! We were supposed to take on the world one day, remember?”

Daddy sighed. “That’s just a joke! Why in the world would we wanna do that when we already have what we needed? We’re a family, and that’s enough!”

“Oh my Celestia! Don’t you know what you’re sounding like right now? You just made yourself weak! No wonder Diamond threw that hissy-fit back in that school...”

“Excuse me...” he picked me up and carried me before angrily looking back at her. “...Now, I know that hissy-fit was a bit of a shock to us both, but if you saw it as a means of independence for Diamond, you’ll realize that one day she’ll have to learn how to take care of herself when we’re gone-“

“Diamond doesn’t need to be working for no one but herself! In fact, she doesn’t need to go to work at all! She’d be better off sitting in a throne, while every other ruffian suffers for loose change!” she stood up and looked closer at Daddy. “We are high society, not the working class! And if you had a worthy fuck of what I’m saying, the least you do is give one...”

Aside of the family drama, Equestria changed a whole lot. Twilight fought Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, Twilight became the new princess of Equestria, Creatures and ponies coming together... Oh, and she even sent down humans! Pretty weird, huh? Ever since she did that decree about having creatures and humans together, life couldn’t get anymore crazy! And on top of that, she permitted the humans to rebuild Equestria into a city! I’m talking buildings, stores, malls, parks, clubs, technology, you name it! Man, if Spoiled and Daddy weren’t bitching and moaning every night, they’d be so happy! But they’re far from happy according to their situation. The butler was gone as son as I came home.

As if things weren’t bad enough, we were in for the longest ride to hell. A couple of days after My ex-mother threw down the gauntlet and filed for divorce. All of that money he had on his businesses? It’s now hers, and the only thing he’s left with is petty money from her, and me. Sure, it was a huge punch in our chest, but thank Celestia we didn’t want her in our life ever again...

Several days after that divorce, she went and set up a building. In the process, she threw money everywhere... I mean, every piece of Canterlot had to be untouched with just the right amount of money. But, oh boy, she said that it isn’t big enough. So what does she do? She hires goons, bosses, any creature left right to raid every single town, including Ponyville! For Celestia’s sake, my best friends lived there! But what’s the use? She had to throw money into the ground and force every creature to just give up their homes, their jobs, everything. And if they say otherwise, or they decide to just keep their heads and say nothing, then Poof! They have no choice! They just have to work for her or just wind up dead! That went for every creature, every human, everyone!

And get this: she had the tits to go and hire millions of goons to push Princess Twilight out of the throne! Now, she’s the fucking high horse! So high, none of us could even reach that bitch! And so, she took over Equestria, and planned to call it Canterlot City. And everything we all know and loved has now become a utopia. Everything was now rich people only, or go home.

Daddy couldn’t even stand for all that, so he had to go to her, face to face.

“Spoiled, I expected this from some maniac, but from you? How could you do this to me?” he uttered angry-like.

“No pleasantries? You wonder why we started that divorce.” she laughed.

“Dammit, woman! You have any idea what the fuck you’re doing?” he bursted. This argument had to be worse than the divorce...

“Deal with it, Filthy! We’re already even. You gotten custody of my potential heir, but I got your money, which now made a better future. Plus, it was your fault.” Spoiled just went and shut his mouth.

“My fault how?” he retorted.

“You broke a good promise when we were married. Now you’re better off dead to me. Unless, you’re willing to give yourselves up, like a good stallion, and I promise you at least a small percentage of this great world would be yours. Then, we be a perfect family...”

Daddy didn’t even want to beat this crazy deal at all, or give himself up. So all he did was walk away...

After that whole fight gone south, he picked me up and ran. Daddy was definitely slow, but he wasn’t gonna give up that easily when had me on his side. When we got out, a huge riot went off! People going haywire, and some fox zoomed past us while being chased by guards. I thought it was funny at first, but everything else took all the humor away.

As soon as we got out, we just had to walk, away from there. We even had to follow a crowd of runaways that most likely suffered the same fate as we had. Downside is, I couldn’t even see my friends anywhere. Either way, we were lucky to have gotten out of here alive.

After the Reign

We had to go far away from that Canterlot Hell, and to a decent town, which was somewhere in a peninsula. Daddy was lucky to have saved some money to get a house for us to live in at a moment’s notice. It was a single story house, with two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Not that the extra room mattered, but once you’re still under this divorce funk, you gotta turn it into a family room, or better yet, a guest room. But of course, he just decided to put everything aside and try his best at teaching me how to take care of myself.

Daddy taught me how to clean rooms, make my own meals, run my own bath water, and even make my bed. It was glazed torture everywhere I turn, but I had to say goodbye to being a prissy little cunt like my ex-mom and start being a better pony, the way Daddy and my friends wanted. Cooking a meal gave me almost burnt my finger, and he said that I had to go and get a band-aid as quick as I could.

He once said this to me, “Our life is long gone now. Nobody is gonna give you any shit in this world. No butlers, no maids, nothin’! It’s time I try to make you into somethin’ unlike Spoiled...” It brought a tear to my eye. And, that promise was stuck to him since. I couldn’t be any happier seeing him smile again. For about a year, we held on. Every day while he was trying to look for a job, I had to do chores, clean, make food, and even entertain myself whenever he goes out of the house. However, he just sat and lazed around, which wasn’t what I expected from a rich stallion.

One night, I saw him fiddling with multiple mail stacks and drinking his scotch like a total rabid dog (ew!). I couldn’t bear to see him so miserable, so... I had to come in and tap him. Of course, Daddy screamed like a beast, so loud, but it didn’t wake up the neighbors, which I was lucky about. (You couldn’t believe how much noise he and Spoiled made after their “private nights”. Sweet Celestia, I couldn’t get over her moans. Boy, do I need to get my head checked...

Anyway, I was a little scared, but he said sorry so many times I lost count. Annoying at first, but he needed me. I tried to talk him out of this whole thing, and he seemed to just let out his frustrations, little by little. He cried his heart out, and gave an embracing hug. I hugged him back, sniffling as I saw his face. The way Spoiled went and destroyed everything really did us bad.

Suddenly, he said those exact same words that he said, but in a calmer tone, “Sweetie, you’re gonna have to get out of my house and find a job for yourself. Daddy’s too winded to even go anywhere except a graveyard...”

“A graveyard? Daddy, you’re not gonna just go and look at tombstones all your life?” I had to retort.

“Diamond, you don’t understand. Spoiled buried me! She split us apart and buried me down! All that money I had can only hold us for so long...” Daddy took a breather. “... if we didn’t have you, we would still be our happy selves again...”

Those words ate my heart. “Daddy! How could you say that?”

“I’m sorry... but I can’t do anything about this. So..., you’re just gonna have to move out...”

“Daddy!” I screamed for his attention.

“This isn’t home for you anymore! Go elsewhere, and leave me, Diamond! I’d be happy without you...”

“But why?” I grabbed him by his shirt, crying.

“Your eyes, your crown, your demeanor, almost everything reminded me of her... I just don’t wanna see all of that in my life again...”

Even though I couldn’t blame him, he had the nerve to just compare me to her! I had the guts to stand up to her while he stood around getting bashed at day in and day out! I mean, he could’ve at least permit me to stay with him one last time, but no! He gave up! He decided to just kick me out just because I was almost like my ex-mom! I didn’t wanna curse at him, so I cried heavily and did as I was told (for the last time in his case). I quickly packed my bags and headed out of the door, not even looking back. Fuck me, walking hurts!

***

Being out of home this time of day was a nightmare, but I wasn’t gonna let Daddy’s words get the better of me. I realized now that my goal was to make it big in this new city, and prove to Daddy that I’m not like that cunt ex-mother! But until then, I had to find a hotel or somewhere to sleep. So far, I hadn’t had that much luck, judging from several creatures snarling or pawing at me.

Out of desperation, I had to look for a job which kinda suited me. Maybe they’d give me a nice and fluffy couch to sleep on while I work. Then, I came across some fancy looking house, which soothed my tastes from the looks of it. It was less than a mansion, but more than some house you see on those real estate brochures Daddy used to be in. I figured it would be good idea to try and start a business just as he would - that should make him so proud of me! Then again, he wouldn’t be by now...

I opened the door and came across a narrow hallway, filled with party posters or celebrities we either have or haven’t heard of before. Of course, that music booming so loudly! I could hear it from where I was standing.

I opened the second set of doors in front of me, and when I looked inside, I was shocked. It was actually a huge adult nightclub. From where I am seemed to be a lounge, full of chairs and tables, and to each side were two bars, each with cute male stallions serving drinks to customers, sort of like my former butler does back home. It was then I looked farther ahead, which I figured would probably be the action. So many strobe lights smoke rolling around, and a big, round circular stage in the near center of it. Men and Creatures in suits crowding it, pulling out handfuls of money while watching about four women either shaking their asses or swinging around on poles on stage. I couldn’t see from the fog surrounding the stage, but when it cleared, I saw half of them in their outfits going from just short shorts to stringy, while the other half were just about to strip off what I could assume is their costumes. My mind would normally just walk away in a heartbeat, but I walked in a little closer to try and get a better view.

“Hey! This isn’t a museum! You know the rules - You’re either a new hire, or you’re here on business. Otherwise, boot your ass outta here!” Someone tapped my shoulder.

“No, wait! I’m.... uh... looking for a job?” I had to uttered as quick as I could.

“Well, lucky for you, we just booted a dancer out for crackin’ at the boss! I can take you to him...”

***

While the bartender led me to the office, she went over some rules, which I had to listen and learn. The space of it wasn’t as mangy as I thought. Walls were painted with bright skies and blue seas, as if it was a prefect painting straight out of an art exhibit. Also, the desk on the right side of the office looked tidy and organized. A white and brown stallion with tan hair was writing numbers and fixing jars with money on them.

“Now remember, guidelines are as follows: Don’t fuck with the boss, don’t fuck with yourself, and most of all, don’t fuck unless he pays triple. And, that’s just a few of them. The boss has a lot of time on his hands-“

“Pipsqueak?” That was my old school’s president!?

“Ummm... you look familiar. Do I know ya somewhere, love?” he turned after counting the jars.

“Yeah. Diamond Tiara, your former election candidate before I proposed a deal?” Surely, he could at least remember that...

“Yeah, yeah. I get that. Not many creatures recognize me in a pinch... Pipsqueak scoffed.

“So, here’s the deal, Diamond. Since you’re workin’ here, there’s one thing ya gotta know, and that’s your arse. It’s of value to you as it is to me because you chose to sell it on the line in the first place. Second, customers must pay first. Freeloaders get their arses kicked out, except for businessmen. They pay big. And the third one is Risk, Strategy, and Result. Take a risk, prepare for it, learn through it, and you may be rewarded. Simple as that.”

Who’d have thought you’d be at least smart just to show your goodies to strangers for a stack of bills?

“Now, you won’t be going on till these other girls do first. So you’ll ‘ave plenty of time to primp yourself up. Until then, you gotta build yourself up. Customers wanna see a nice body on good display...”

Suddenly, he got a good look at my face, and sure enough, he almost recognized me...

“How’s your mum?” Pipsqueak asked. I cringed at the way he just up and said that.

“Why does it matter?” I answered, not letting that phase me.

Pipsqueak shook his head. “Never mind. Anywho, you’ll be seeing some of me mates tomorrow to show ya the ropes, so I suggest ya get yourself some shut-eye...”

“Oh! And... ‘ere...” he handed me five hundred bits. “...Look for the Paradis-y Hotel...whatever the toss is called... Anywho, get yaself a room. Should last ya a couple weeks at most. They should find you there in the morning.”

***

After exiting the club, I had to look around the city for that hotel Pipsqueak mentioned. And sure enough, I looked up as it said “Paraíso Hotel”. As soon as I entered, I looked around, and Oh...My...God...! The decor of it was so fancy, and everything was high-class!

I said to myself, “Pipsqueak sure knew how to pick ‘em, huh? Well played, Mr. President.”

I headed for the reception and quickly ordered a room, and they quickly called out several human bellhops to set everything up for me. By the time I got there, I realized that I couldn’t even get a proper meal set up in order, so I started ordering room service. After waiting several minutes, I received it from the employees, who were rapid with their service at some point. After finishing my meal, I decided to get my tired ass in the showers. I looked like total shit after fighting to get back home with Daddy.

I couldn’t get the chance the see the whole city, but damn! It felt so beautiful! If he wasn’t down in the dumps whatsoever, he’d get a chance to see it himself...

I exited the bathroom wearing a pink fluffy robe, feeling slightly satisfied before making my way to the balcony. Then, I started gazing around the city for a while as the night breeze flowed through me. Indeed, it felt so relaxing for a moment until I got back inside, and got to bed. I started thinking of how or did all that shit went down with Spoiled putting Daddy out of business. He would’ve gotten a place like this for me, but it’s a good thing I had friends to help me out, even though I’m still that cunt Spoiled’s former daughter... Speaking of which, I couldn’t understand why Pipsqueak have gotten me all that money from his pocket. Maybe he owed me for building and sponsoring his campaign back home?

***

Morning struck at the hotel, and I got a knock at the door.

“Mmhhh... Rude?...” I got up out of bed slowly and made my way to the door. When I opened it, in swung two familiar ponies, Lighthoof and Shimmy Shake. I can’t believe those two escaped alive after that Canterlot City crackup. Apparently, they were hired by Pipsqueak to be my dance instructors. From what I remember, those two used to be hoofball cheerleaders back home, and the best at that. But they just packed up and left just as soon as they heard Spoiled taking over. Now, they came up to Pipsqueak for a job, and managed to hold the club pretty well. Not much else was known about them besides their bodies. Wow! They must have been models or something.

***

Lighthoof and Shimmy Shake took me to a dance studio, which consisted of silver poles that were already set up. The whole place was large enough to fit in a crowd of mares. Every wall had huge mirrors that were an inch away from the ceiling. Speaking of the ceiling, it had a disco ball, and different colored lights turned off.

“So, a few words of advice: Firehouse isn’t exactly a playground, if Squeaky didn’t tell you...” Shimmy said.

“I... kinda saw it firsthand...” I replied.

“Then, you just got a taste of what Firehouse is about: being a freak. Customers love it.” Lighthoof added.

We started off with some light stretches just to loosen ourselves, then some basic yoga poses, which made me wonder how they moved so flawlessly. I watched as they did the cobra and downward-facing dog, two of the most easy poses I’ve seen, in sync. I followed as they instructed, but when they lied belly-up and did a bridge pose, I felt that something in my body is gonna crack. Almost every pose I followed made me look a little sore.

Then, class has officially begun. All I had to learn was just using my hips and my legs. Of course, it hurts my body worse than my ex-mom’s divorce against Daddy...

Shimmy mentioned that all dancing relies on hips, even in my soon-to-be new line of work. It was then Lighthoof made her way to the pole and spun around. She hooked of her legs up, and let her hands go of it before slowly dropping down. As soon as her hand touches the floor, she gracefully flipped backwards until she was straight and moved her hips so provocatively. In a word or two, her pole dancing classes were crazy!

Lighthoof had to show me several of her other moves, and did it with precision. She rubbed her body on that pole than quickly lifts herself up to the highest part of it. But, what really caught my eye was the way she did a split on the way down.

“See, I prefer pole tricks because of my flexibility.” Lighthoof shrugged.

“And, I just shake my ass any way I want!” Shimmy giggled. “But, blend it all together, and you become an absolute professional, which is never easy...”

They were right! Dancing on stage was never easy at all. I had no experience in dancing, and sure as hell had no experience of being on stage either. And sure, I may have a nice body, but I never liked showing it off except for teasing ponies like I did back home. Those two mates had to fix that problem right away, just by groping me.

“Well, you’re not much of a looker yet, and those titties of yours are... all right. Ass, um... definitely need to fix that.” Shimmy had to walk around me and my body. Then, she quickly grabbed my shirt and groped my boobs, which was the most weird thing I had to experience. The way she just pinched my nipple was so off-base!

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but you got a long way to go.” Lighthoof advised.

“So, before we could train you, you gotta let go of all that shit in your brain right now...” Shimmy tapped my brain, which almost hurt. I’d be so close to beating their asses, but I don’t wanna risk losing a friend, or getting fired.

“Touch yourself...” Lighthoof blurted out.

“What?” I raised an eyebrow.

Shimmy rolled her eyes before placing a finger in her crotch area and faking orgasms in front of me. “You know.”

“It helps you relieve stress and build confidence. You need confidence to dance on stage. That’s what customers wanna see...” Lighthoof recommended.

“Consider this a... focus exercise.” Shimmy added.

***

After my first year of “training”, I headed back to my hotel room, feeling sooooo sore in my brain as well as my body. Just then, I got a call from Squeaky. I picked up the hotel phone, and much to my dismay, it was Pipsqueak. I couldn’t understand why he’d call me at a time like this...

“Diamond. It’s Pipsqueak. How are ya ‘angin’?

“Hey, Squeaky. I really can’t thank you enough for getting me this job...”

“Ya already have, love. But listen... this isn’t grad school anymore, because I’m the teacher, if ya ‘aven’t forgotten. An’ if ya wanna stay in, ya gotta listen to directions, simple as that.” Even though he had the intention of roughing me up, I really can’t get over the way he just speaks to me like a real stallion.

“An’, as I mentioned before, you pretty much owe me big... I got a spot for ya on amateur night with your name on it. I’ll give ya a couple of months until then. You wow the crowd, and we’re straight.”

“Ok.” I agreed.

“Oh...” Squeaky added. “And, Come by me office in the morning, yeah? I need ta speak with ya on something...”

“Um... ok. Why?”

“I’ll tell ya! Just get down ‘ere early in the morning, yeah?”

Once he hung up, I had to take all of what he just mentioned. I had only a few hours to educate myself in the hotel room. Ooohhhh.... and i had to get my tired ass in hot bath water before I could even think of going to my bed. Running my own bath water was the first thing I did before I even tried getting in.

“Aaahhhhh....” I definitely deserved that break, what with my having to go through so much torture in my head. I’ve been resting my body in this bath for several minutes, just rubbing it all over me. After that, I got out, emptied the tub, and put on another robe before making my way to bed. But instead of just getting under my sheets, I just laid there, looking up at the ceiling. I thought long and hard about what Lighthoof and Shimmy instructed. Dammit, why do they have to act so weird?

“Oh, fuck it...” Shimmy’s damn voice just had to talk me into it. So I mocked the same thing she did, just placing my hand close to my naughty bit, and faked a couple moans. And boy, that was a laugh for me. But then, I had to it for real this time. I mean, it’s not like I’d get caught doing it, right? Anyway, ugh, I felt halfway embarrassed thinking about that, but the pinch on my breast did hurt. And yet, it did something else...

So, I let my robe a little loose before playing with my breasts for a while. They were right; I don’t know if I’d impress anyone with what I got. My own body probably isn’t worth getting me a stallion. Then again, getting surgery just won’t cut it. I mean, relationships aren’t for me right now. But if there were, then maybe I’d look for someone to spoil me till I die. But no! I’m not gonna think about winding up like that cunt Spoiled. If Daddy hadn’t thrown me out, I’d say to him that I kept that promise in me. So what’s the use? Family doesn’t matter to me anymore...

I tend to look at myself, and just wonder how humiliating would I feel, but even that wouldn’t matter either. Because just then, I get this feeling in my heartbeat that made me wanna do it more. So, I just went slower and slower until my hand reached my mare pussy. I bit my lip and let out a moan just as I slipped one of my fingers inside. My eyes went up, and my brain just woke me up to a whole new world of Holy Shit! I paused for a moment, which made it a little awkward after moaning once. Then, I slipped my finger inside again, but with a little more digging in. Every breathe and moan was like weight leaving my brain!

“Ahhh! Ah! Ah!” I couldn’t help screaming so loud, but I had to just cover my mouth, hoping nobody ever saw me like this. Mmmm... it felt so fucking good, I just couldn’t take it. Thoughts of me playing high horse with the world, the day I stood up to Spoiled, the divorce, the takeover, being kicked out of the house - everything was just plain shot that was meaningless right now...

Several words that had to pop out of my chest, like bullets, “Fuck you, Spoiled, for making me a total clone of you! Fuck you for destroying my life! Fuck you for destroying Daddy! Fuck you! And, I hope your city burns all over your rich ass!”

I was so relieved to the point where all I could do was just get off. I played with myself so hard, I cried like a little bitch. And of course, I came so hard before I went to sleep. It was all so wrong, but it felt so right doing it at the same time. I could care less about anything except being me right now. Being a stripper, showing off my body for cash, as well as making a living for myself. I was finally one step closer to being a real woman.

“Diamond! Sit down. I wanna tell ya something...” Squeaky told me. I entered the club with a pep in my step after last night. After saying hi to several of the workers here, I made my way to Squeaky’s office. I felt a little bit nervous about what he was gonna say, but knowing him, it wouldn’t be too harsh...

“I bet you’re wonderin’ why I had ta play guardian angel all this time... Remember that little election, back in school?” he had to bring that up. I asked why would be play “guardian angel” on me, unless he had something else up his sleeve.

“Since you and I competed, it felt like an absolute challenge to me. But you stickin’ it to your mum was worth anything in the world.”

“Well, that was a long time ago, and it doesn’t matter...” I retorted. But, knowing him, what he said had something to do with my own past, and his. I couldn’t imagine the audacity this boy had to just say that to me.

“None of us ever ‘ad the tits to do the same thing you did. Any of us did it, ‘an we’d end up dead in seconds! That’s why I figured, even though you did so much for me back in the day, I’d at least drop somethin’ in your pocket. But then, it occurred to me... wait, what ‘appened to ya dad, Filthy?”

I turned my head. “He threw me out of his house...after he and Spoiled got divorced...”

“Fuckin’ ‘ell! An’ he didn’t even consider sendin’ you a check?” he raised his eyebrow, being surprised.

“It’s not important, Squeaky. What’s important is that I’m a new mare! I feel ready to work here! Seriously! I know we competed once, but now here I am, working for a cute strip club owner.” I sent him a wink, which made him blush.

Squeaky smiled. “Who are you, an’ what ‘ave you done with Diamond Tiara? Did she turn into a unicorn or something?”

I laughed so hard at his joke, I couldn’t even breathe. He laughed with me as well, and breathed a bit of relief. Boy, he didn’t realized that it has been years since we met. But then, he had to send me out in the kindest way possible, but stopped me last minute with some words of advice.

“Not that I would sugarcoat ya any further, but you’re better off being with a real family than one that treats ya like shite. I wanna see more of that glow of yours...” he winked. I giggled at him before heading out, feeling unscathed under such words. Minutes after that touching meeting, I got out of the club and got back to my hotel room. At the same time, the phone rang. It was none other Squeaky himself, and he mentioned that Shimmy and Lighthoof would be taking me to a gym.

But as I opened the door and saw them, they first decided to take me to a shop in the city that they said had the best coffee. Come to think of it, I haven’t had coffee since the day Canterlot was expanded and raided. The coffee house looked so pleasant from the live atmosphere and jazz music, to the multiple aromas. They decided to take me to the outside section, where there were about several empty chairs and tables. We took our seats at the table close to the railing, and called out the waiter, who was a light brown wolf. His face looked dangerous at first, but it showed its handsome side when it came to girls.

“I’ll have the frappe double, slightly creamy.” Lighthoof ordered first.

“I’ll have just a cappuccino...”

“I’ll take a vanilla latte, and I’ll take a dose of you... extra stiff...” Shimmy just went and made a move on the waiter. You could’ve seen the look on his face when he blushed - it was so cute.

“Oh my God, I can’t believe you did that!” I was shocked and impressed at the same time with how she flirted at the waiter.

“Sometimes, you gotta turn on your charm on the first guy you see, huh?” Shimmy sensually rolled her shoulders.

Lighthoof and Shimmy inquired me about stuff, including how I even got in this town. All I could do was just tell the truth about my whole life. They didn’t need to smother me with sympathy, but they did anyway. But then, I had to just throw that sob-story moment away and asked them what I have to do to really make it in this business of theirs. They came up with some other rules I haven’t took notice of, like “We stay discreet, meaning not a word to the public about it”, and “if you’re sick, stay home”, which made it so appeasing to any worker in the club.

“I oughta thank Squeaky for that rule...” I said to myself.

After our coffee session, we entered a jungle-sized gym, filled with a huge slew of equipment and obstacles courses. We made our way to a young and fit griffon, who were a grey sleeveless shirt with training pants. The two trainers introduced him to me and recommended me a program for a couple weeks until a “big event”, which they say shouldn’t mention to the public. They said that I had get my ass in shape as well as the rest of my body if I’m gonna have a chance of making real cash.

I can’t believe that I had to be surrounded by a bunch of nice creatures in this city. It was definitely nothing like back home, where we had some cute stallions from time to time. But, believe me, these creatures were like sex on a stick, just waiting to be had! But, I couldn’t even focus of that right now, despite the fact that I’ve had thoughts of them after watching some of those late night videos back at the hotel.

So, every day when I woke up, I get a call from either Shimmy, Lighthoof, or Squeaky. Then, I fixed myself up, go to the coffee house and bring them their orders, then I go to the jungle gym for my workout, and go to the tropical flea market to pick up things for dinner. Funny thing is, Squeaky paid me about fifty bits in bills for their orders, and extra for odd jobs like comforting the other employees, cleaning the bar stations, organizing the lounge, and even setting up show props for every show they put on. All of those favors gave me a little extra cash, and some respect to go with it.

About a month ago, I started pushing myself to the limits in the gym, and have gotten some tolerable results despite the miniature pain I gained from my legs. Speaking of my legs, they’ve turned perfect thanks to those leg workouts. My arms gained a little muscle, and my chest got toned. No one has ever noticed, but some of the strippers said that my titties are kinda nice. I was jealous of them having bigger titties than me, but they told me I was lucky to be born with a good size. In fact, they even said that I was blessed to have a good body compared to theirs. Not to mention that they saw me as a good friend after all these favors and odd jobs. All I ever did was told them that I’ve been a changed mare, and that they’re no different to each other. Just for that, I received a huge hug from them. Their words of encouragement made me feel like I was free after my struggles back home. I cried to myself for a while, smiling at the praise I was given.

“What we’re gonna teach you is a couple of tricks...” Shimmy briefed me on what they call twerking. I had no idea what it is, but I’d figure this something they do at the club. But, either way, I owe Squeaky a show.

Once Lighthoof puts some weird pop music on, Shimmy stood up and counted before raising her arms slowly while shaking her hips in a vibrating motion. But she didn’t stop there as she moved her body in slow and sensual motions before kicking her right leg high. Suddenly, she turned and dropped to the floor, hands and knees to the ground, her booty cheeks wobbling as she goes upward and downward. I had to keep my eyes on the way she just bounces her ass, while Lighthoof struts to her and does the same thing, only with her hands on her knees.

“So, did you get all that?” Shimmy asked. I had to be weirded out after watching their little show, but it was what I had to learn in a flash.

“See, even if you have a little booty, you can still shake it like this...” Shimmy used her thighs to making rapid wavy motions with her ass cheeks.

“...Or this...” Lighthoof laid on her back, lifted her legs up and clapped her thighs, also making wavy motions with her ass cheeks.

“Boys drool over this every time they see it, guaranteed. But, it’s best to just dance with some variety and feel it...” Shimmy added. Did I mention that she and Lighthoof were cheerleaders back home right before they were strippers? Yeah, they’ve outdid themselves... Oh, and I had to learn it all... in heels! Every “5, 6, 7, 8!“ count from them was a ladder from failure to triumph. They shouted with every dance step so loud, anyone could hear us from outside. I felt like I wanted to just get out of here, but knowing that I have nothing to go back to except myself, I didn’t have the strength to. So, I asked the trainers to just stay with me until dark, and they accepted. They were tired as well, but they knew for a fact that I couldn’t give up. Days and months of practice, perseverance, and determination were counted as I kept going and going, letting all that fear go away.

Seven months ago, I felt like I was back on top of the world again. I was cooking meals, doing chores, shopping, and doing yoga on weekends. But whenever Squeaky or my two trainers called, I showed up on the dot. And since then, I became a better mare, with an even better body! I started trying on outfits that I bought, from crop tops and tight skirts to leather pants to cute jeans. As for shoes, well, I was lucky to have bought some because one of the clerks at the store said that they get my booty in shape. On top of that, I had gotten better at walking (and dancing) in heels as my trainers taught me. I’ve been wobbling the first time I had them on, but after taking baby steps, like they instructed, I could do anything in them just as sexy.

As soon as the two prize ponies showed up at my hotel door, I knew I was ready.

I was out of their league at first, but after several months of training, gym work, and advice, I was getting there. Sometimes, I even had a chance to join Shimmy and Lighthoof in the club while it was empty when the occasion called for it. They recommended me to do it more often to try and improve my confidence on stage. The DJ made his way to the booth, and called the employees out to see me.

Once the DJ put on island bass music, he played along and introduced me like normal. Just as the bass kicked in, I did the best dancing I could, and the strippers showed interest in me. They watched as I just teased them and swung around the pole. Shimmy clapped in excitement, coming for a closer look, and Lighthoof laughed at her friend being the customer. While I grabbing the pole behind me, I lowered myself in a squat position and spread my legs wide enough to really tease Shimmy. I then slowly placed my hands in my naughty but, and uttered a silent moan in front of her. She was so shocked that she had to just step on stage and dance with me. I giggled and decided to let her take the reigns, but she softly pushed my back to the pole and rubbed my pussy under my clothes for about seven seconds. The crowd of workers went either, “Whoo! Whoo!” or “Eyyyyy! Eyyyy!” just as the DJ changed the music to another bass-pumping hip-hop track. Us girls got into it and got loose, while the employees got up from their seats and did the same. Shimmy turned facing the pole, and shook her ass first, then me, then Lighthoof.

Of course, the DJ saw us and had to rap like crazy with a smooth voice while the track kept playing. “Ey! Ey! Now, Lemme see ya take it down in this mothafucka! Drop it down low! Make it clap, like you fuckin’ on the dance floor! Fuck the haters, all they do is talk shit! Pop it like champagne while you hit a full split!”

I couldn’t get that out of my head for a moment. But while he was rapping, I started getting into it, rolling my hips around in front of the small crowd, who were just pretending to throw money at us. Then, I got down on all fours, bouncing my ass and giving it two slaps. While I stayed in that position, Lighthoof suddenly got of the stage, pulled out her phone, and set it on camera before aiming it at me and Shimmy.

“Whooooo!! Get it, Princess!” Lighthoof screamed in joy. The trainers were so proud of me, and the crowd loved it! One could say I had the best time, but damn, it was so crazy! At that rate, I’d impress Squeaky a whole lot! Speaking of which, I was unaware that he came out of the office and saw me doing my thing, and smiled.

“Filthy’s little princess... now all grown up...and the Crusaders just gave ‘er a push on friendship back ‘ome...” he nodded, watching me have fun.

My debut has finally arrived, and I made it to the club, bright-eyed, built, and fully ready. Before the sun was about to set, I made to the dressing room, which was perfectly organized. I came across a lingerie set and a cute black and white business suit and hat, which looked just about the right size. The black heels below it looked so cute with its three-diamond insignia on every side of them. Not only that, but it also came with cute pink stockings. As soon as I started putting my outfit on, I measured myself through it, realizing that all that training paid off since it all fit as perfectly as I thought. However, I couldn’t stop just there. I took a look at myself in the mirror for several seconds, then put some makeup on. After hearing the crowd, I breathed deeply to calm down, then sprayed on some perfume on my neck. I suddenly stood up and made my way to the curtain just as the applause died down. After sneaking through them, I stopped and closed my eyes before hearing the DJ announce me.

“We have a newcomer on our stage this evening for your viewing pleasure. Straight outta Canterlot, the unscathed princess of the rich, Diamond Tiara!”

Once the music started, I tossed my hat aside and strutted my way to the crowd and do my best dancing I never thought I’d do. But, as my new friends said, I just had to have fun with it. Creatures and humans have been acting crazy after seeing spin around the pole and wrapping my legs around it. My two trainers and best friends had to get in the front row. And so far, they were more proud than they were! Just as they taught me, I did the whole nine - pole spins to spread eagles, and belly-dancing hip movements galore to the crowd!

And now, my biggest challenge was to give this cute animal sitting on stage a real show. So, I walked behind him, moving my hips as I passed by him, then faced him as I stripped of my blouse. After several seconds of just feeling myself and moving my hips, I turned to the crowd and proudly displayed my newly formed body. They were impressed in many ways, but that was only a taste of what they stood close to the stage for. I then rushed with a strut to a closer part of the stage and stripped off my pants in a tempting motion. Bills were being sent my way, and I received them in a sensual matter before making my way to the lucky animal. I gave him a closer view of my yum-yums, and placed my hands on his thighs just for being cute. Not only that, but I placed my thumbs on the side of my g-string, and slowly slid it down before keeping it where he’d only see half of my crack. He was nodding and rubbing his hands together after I teased him.

Lights flickered around the area and music blasted like crazy, but I just had to keep the show going and the cash coming in. All I ever did was what Lighthoof and Shimmy taught me. And boy, all these months of training had definitely paid off! I was showing off my curves in a cobra position, getting bills stuffed in my stockings, and just as I took off my bra and tossed it aside, creatures were staring at me an awful lot once I got close to them.

So, I slowly approached him, and paused. My thumbs touched the waist of my g-string, then pushed it down to my heels. Then, one, two, three... Ass cheeks clapping while standing up! After pulling that off, I just had to roll my hips around on his face. The whole crowd went nuts, even Shimmy and Lighthoof applauded. His nose was an inch close to my pussy, but he didn’t even sneak a touch. I’d expect him to just grab my ass and pull me closer, but he kept his hands behind the chair. He just stood there, nodding like he’s lucky. I looked below, and saw his bulge getting big. As disappointing as it was to just leave him like that, I had to tease him with just a little bit of lip-licking, and walked my way to the crowd, showing them some more of my ass-shaking, then danced some more for their money. Once the music ended, I got back up on stage, and took the lucky fox by the hand, picking him up before kissing his cheek. As we got off, the crowd stood up and praised me like I was a princess all over again, but that didn’t even matter to me at all.

I came across Squeaky, who was watching me from the floor just as I exited the stage.

“Once again, you’ve amazed me. Well done, Princess...” he shook my hand.

“Please, honey. Call me Diamond...” I winked at him. All of a sudden, the DJ called out my name and congratulated me, and so did the other employees, including the other strippers. At the same time, my trainers pulled out their phones and set them to camera yet again.

“Anything you wanna say to your friends back home, Princess?” Lighthoof asked while putting me on camera. Out of nowhere, they pointed them at me, as if they’re giving me an interview. I hadn’t have the courage to even go for it all these months, but since I’ve been a changed woman, I felt that my dues were already paid off.

“Love you, Silver Spoon, wish you were here!”

So, if you’re wondering where this ended... we had a hell of an afterparty with some business stallions. Strippers came out with firecrackers and champagne, congratulating the colts for some huge success at work I don’t know about. And now, I became a full-time dancer, or in this case, “sex worker”. You see, we “sex workers” have certain ways of business we don’t allow to the public, and discretion is of the essence. Anyways, I got friends to hang out with, in and out of business, and since then, I became “Princess of the island city” by the people I helped on my own time.

My life was now perfect, despite several complications... Okay, a whole bunch of complications. But, after seeing the world change, and my ex-mother taking over Canterlot, the divorce, and Daddy giving me up, I found something she would never have in her pathetic lifetime: Friends. So, after losing a family, you could say I gained one.
