Silver Spoon's P.O.V.

I groaned as another day dawned. I was personally getting tired of having to deal with not just one, but two versions of Diamond Tiara running around. Seeing as this was the weekend, I decided to get up early and head to the club house.

"Oh hey, yer here early Silver Spoon." Apple Bloom said.

"Yeah. For good reason. Listen...can you grab Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and meet me at the castle? There's something I need to tell everyone. It's something I really need to tell Twilight about specifically." I said.

"Sure thing Silver Spoon." Apple Bloom said and left.

"...No turning back..." Silver Spoon said and headed off.

Third Person P.O.V.

X met with her dopleganger in a dark ally.

"I don't know why your still hanging around here. Your still just as much of a liar as when you left." X said.

"You know as well as I do that you can't expect Silver Spoon to keep our whole secret a secret forever." Y said.

"Admittedly, yes I know that. But I'm personally glad I never have to lie to anyone anymore. Telling the truth has set me free." X said.

"So much for that. Didn't stop you from lying about who you are." Y argued.

"How do you know about that?" X asked.

"I'm you, remember? I may not have the same body as you anymore, but sometimes having the same mind as you stinks." Y said. X went wide eyed.

"Oh no! You think the magic that's keeping us apart is going to reunnite us soon?!" X asked.

"Oh I wish. Then I can go back to being me." Y said.

"Your just jealous that lying was driving away others. And now I'm friends with who you kept calling talentless blank flanks; the cutie mark crusaders have shown me how wrong it was to lie to them." X brought up.

"Ugh...don't remind me. Again, having the same mind as you stinks. Sometimes the things you do bleed over and effect me. Must be part of that strange crystal we broke." Y said.

"Then we need Twilight's help. Better to let her know about this rather then risk Silver Spoon telling everything." X said.

"...Now that much I can agree with." Y said and the two Diamond Tiaras headed towards Twilight's castle.

"Thank you so much for waiting on me." Silver Spoon said.

"So spill it, what's this about? And why didn't you invite Diamond Tiara?" Scootaloo asked.

"This actually concerns her. See she wasn't...truthful about what happened that one day we walked in on Twilight Time." Silver Spoon said.

"What do you mean? I didn't discover anything that had been touched." Twilight said.

"You wouldn't. Nothing would've given off that impression. She touched that strange gem thing." Silver Spoon said.

"Oh you mean the Split Diamond thing Twilight was teaching us about?" Sweetie Belle asked. "She was teaching us about various gems and had one of the few Split Diamonds in existance." She added.

"I assume that revolves around you wanting to know more about gems in case you had the same gem talent as your sister." Silver Spoon said. A nod from Sweetie Belle confirmed this. "Well...about that diamond...Diamond Tiara touched it and..." Silver Spoon said when the door to the throne room opened and in came not just one, but two Diamond Tiaras.

"...What the..." Apple Bloom was shocked.

"...Told you we should've just gone straight for the castle but no; you just HAD to make sure no one saw us together." The Daimond Tiara on the right said.

"Well obviously, judging by everpony's reaction to there being two of me, you understand why now." The Diamond Tiara on the left said.

"...This happened..." Silver Spoon finished.

"Since when did Diamond Tiara use the mirror pool?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"This was a result of touching that thing you called the Split Diamond; for some reason it split Diamond Tiara into two distinct halves: One that only tells the truth and one that only tells fibs." Silver Spoon said.

"What's a fib?" Scootaloo asked.

"Scootaloo, sayin' someone is fibbin' is the same as saying someone is lyin'." Apple Bloom said.

"That's Apple Bloom for you." The Diamond Tiara on the left said. "She's smart and good with all sorts of things. I wouldn't be surprised if her cutie mark was related to her hoofwork with a dash of book smart blended in for good measure." She added.

"So...if there are two of you...which one of you is the real diamond tiara?" Twilight asked.

"That's just the thing...we both are the real Diamond Tiara." The one on the left said. "But if that's confusing, you can simply call me X and the liar Y for now until we find a way to undo this split." She added.

"Which I didn't agree to at first, but Silver Spoon just HAD to beg." The Diamond Tiara on the right said.

"Stop lying." The left one said.

"We can't know which to call which without figuring out which one of you is the liar." Sweetie Belle said.

"I got an idea. This reminds me of an old riddle from back in the day about a traveler trying to get to the village of truthtellers called 'truthsville' but there's a village of liars next to it called liarsburg. The riddle goes that in a fork in the road, the traveler comes across someone from one the two villages at the crossroads. But with no way of knowing which village the villager is from, they are stuck. In the riddle's scenario, what does the traveler say to the villager to get him to show him the way to truthsville?" Sombra asked.

"I hate riddles..." Scootaloo said.

"Relax, for the answer is simple: The traveler is meant to ask the villager to take the traveler to the villager's own village." Sombra asked.

"I don't get it..." Scootaloo said.

"Ah get it: Because no matter which villager it is, regardless if it's a truthteller or a liar, the villager will take the traveler to Truthsville." Apple Bloom asked.

"Seriously? Why? Wouldn't the liar take the traveler to liarsburg?" Scootaloo asked.

"No, because then that would be telling the truth. Remember: The lying villager on purpose has to lie to the traveler, so if the lying villager took the traveler to liarsburg, well then that would be telling the truth. The truthteller tells the truth, so of course they'd take the traveler to truthsville, but the lying villager would also take the traveler to truthsville because that isn't their own village because that would be lying." Apple Bloom explained.

"Apple Bloom is the smartest mare ever~" The Diamond Tiara on the left said.

"Then how do we know which diamond tiara is telling the truth?" Twilight asked.

"Simple." Sombra looked at both Diamond Tiaras. "I want you two use one hoof to point at yourself. And I don't mean as in you as Diamond Tiara, I mean I want you to physically point at your own body." He said. This caused the Diamond Tiara on the left to point a hoof at herself but the one of the right to point towards the diamond tiara on the left. "Just as I thought..." Sombra said.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"The one of the left is X and the one on the right is Y." Sombra said.

"That was easy." An electronic voice said from somewhere after a click was heard.

"...Sorry." Spike said, putting away a random button he just pushed.

"So now, how do we go about making them become one again? As good as it is that X has always been honest with us, I would like Diamond Tiara to go back to being just one pony again." Silver Spoon said.

"Ugh! Why bother?!" Y asked. "I don't ever want to see you blank flanks after this." She added.

"Stop lying. I wish I knew what to do, but I've tried everything I can think of to reconcile with her." X said.

"Well the Split Diamond is supposed to wear off once the two of you reconcile so..." Twilight said. "Until you do so, your stuck like this." She said.

"Great...just great. Guess I'm leaving then." Y said.

"You are not going anywhere!" X said. "It's time we stopped this back and forth nonesense." She added.

"Ugh...when will you learn that we're better off without each other?" Y said.

"Actually...therein lies the problem as there's still the matter of who X is on Slade's client list, and I think I have my answer: One of you is the one that hired Slade, so I want the truth: Which one of you did it?" Sombra asked.

"Uh..." Both kind of dronned off at that.

"...Oh come on, you mean you did it together? I can only punish one of you, so either you reconcile and I consider that enough, or I'll force you to pick someone to take the fall." Sombra said.

"But then they'll just go back and forth trying to throw each other under the bus. As much as it pains me to say it, if they don't reconcile, they are both going to have to be punished." Twilight said.

"! Then it was Y. She was the one specifically who was the one Slade was talking to the entire time after all." X said.

"What? How dare you throw me under the bus so quickly! I was the one that witnessed the killing." Y said.

"Yeah, but that information was bled to me, so I was able to testify instead of you so bonus points on my end." X said.

"Ugh...see? This is why I said they'll both have to be punished." Twilight said.

"You can't do that!" Both of them said.

"I'm afraid it's the rules." Twilight said.

"There has to be some way to get them to reconcile..." Sweetie Belle asked.

"But with one being unable to tell nothing but lies, how do we accomplish that?" Apple Bloom asked.

"You mean we're in the middle of a riddle? I HATE RIDDLES!" Scootaloo said.

"And unlike my riddle, we have two ponies here: One truth teller and one liar. We have to ask something that both of them will have no choice but to agree on." Sombra said.

"Better hurry...I'm ready to send for Celestia." Spike said. Everyone was nervous and in a panic. But then...ironically, it was Scootaloo to the rescue.

"Wait!" Scootaloo said and went up to the two Diamond Tiaras. "Diamond Tiaras...what would say if I were to tell you I think of you like a sister?" She asked. The two Diamond Tiaras turned towards each other. Both knew the answer as it was both the truth and a lie....

"We would say your crazy yet we appreciate the sentiment." They both said at once. Suddenly without warning both of them began to glow and soon merged into just one Diamond Tiara again.

"...Ow..." The merged Diamond Tiara said. "Silver Spoon, remind me to listen to Twilight from now on when she says not to touch anything." She added.

"She's back!" Silver Spoon exclaimed.

"But did she keep all of X & Y's memories?" Scootaloo asked.

"How can I forget what you did for me with my grandmother?" Diamond Tiara asked. "I meant what I said when I was split in two. Just because I'm back to being one pony again doesn't mean I've gone back to the way I was before all this mess. I still remember everything my truth telling half did with you all. I don't know why I was so hell bent on lying to everyone, and ultimately myself too." Diamond Tiara said.

"Ironic isn't it? It took you being split apart to stop being so mean." Apple Bloom said.

"I guess when you put it that way, yeah, it is rather ironic." Diamond Tiara said before she, Silver Spoon, and the CMC all burst out laughing. "Seriously, I am so glad to be back to being just ONE Diamond Tiara. Thanks Blank Flanks." Diamond Tiara said. The CMC just glared at her before she suddenly burst out laughing again. "Sorry! Had to get that in one last time you guys. Chill." Diamond Tiara said. The CMC just shook their heads.

"Well it's good to know your back to normal now." Scootaloo said.

"Heh...it's good to be back. And I really do hope you gals get your talents soon. I would love that." Diamond Tiara said.

"This is strange..." Sombra said. "When Diamond Tiara murged back into one again, X's name disappeared from Slade's list." He added.

"X was just an alias half of me was using. Still, I don't feel like reconciling with myself is enough to make up for that..." Diamond Tiara said. "From now on, I promise to be a better Pony." She added.

"Is that the truth, or a lie?" Apple Bloom asked. Diamond Tiara was suddenly Apple Bloom's face.

"It's just as much of a truth as this is." Diamond Tiara said before suddenly kissing Apple Bloom on the lips right there and then.

"That...was...whoa..." Apple Bloom said. "How long have you been holdin' back from doing that?" She asked.

"Too long." Diamond Tiara said. "Like I said, I wasn't just lying to everyone before, I was lying to myself. I like mares, and of all the mares I've gotten to know, your the one I've had my eye on the longest." Diamond Tiara said.

"This ending bit just turned into a romance thing, didn't it?" Silver Spoon asked. Suddenly Pinkie Pie showed up.

"HEY I'M THE ONE WHO BREAKS THE FOURTH WALL AROUND HERE!" Pinkie Pie yelled out.

Author's Note

Yes I just made a staples joke in this chapter. Live with it. Also, this is sort of a longer chapter. Once I got to the point of the reconcile, I just could not split it up. Especilally the ending part where I decided to put the AppleTiara/DiamondBloom ship in this story.
