My Little Pony: Queen of Shadows

Scootaloo's P.O.V.

Me and my friends were at lunch. And something was wrong. All day so far, Diamond Tiara has not once picked on us. And that worries us. So we go over.

"Okay, what's your game plan Diamond Tiara?" I asked her.

"My game plan? Oh right. You must be referring to all my bullying. Yeah I decided today was the day I was gonna stop doing doing that." Diamond Tiara said. I looked over to Silver Spoon.

"Don't look at me, I didn't convince her. Not by a long shot. Still, she said we should stop bullying you, so I won't do it. So don't tempt me." Silver spoon said.

"Why are you stoppin' if you don't mind me askin'?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Because it's wrong." Diamond Tiara said. "Besides, I did it to push you three." She added. That shocked the three of us and Silver Spoon.

"Come again?" Sweetie Belle said.

"I know, it's a stupid excuse. But my mother would never let me be friends with markless ponies like yourselves. But I'm done being controlled by her and told what to do by her." Diamond Tiara said. The whole time, it was because of her mother? And she was just pushing us?

"Wait, markless ponies? Is that a new insult?" I asked.

"Oh...I'm sorry...did I insult you with that phrase too? If I did, I'm sorry." Diamond Taira said. Something isn't right here.

"No it's just...it took me by surprise is all." I said. "But something's different about you, Diamond. Did something happen at home?" I asked.

"One could say that. My mother started saying a bunch of mean things to daddy. I decided right then and there that I was gonna quit trying to appease her if it meant stooping to that sort of level." Diamond said.

"Your answering our questions quite well...that's different." Sweetie Belle said.

"Well...like I said, what I've done in the past I'm done with doing." Diamond Tiara said. "You'll get your cutie marks one day. And when you all do, I want to invite you over to my place for a pool party." She said.

"You'd do that for us?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I know I can never make up for the things I've done to you three girls. But I'd like to try." Diamond Tiara Said.

"You know...I thought for a while you might've been a heartless filly. Guess I was wrong. Showed me a thing or two." I said, smiling.

"I do have a heart, Scootaloo, otherwise I'd still be calling you mean names like 'Blank Flanks' all the time." Diamond Tiara said. Only Diamond Tiara could ever say blank flanks like that. It was her.

"I never really liked bullying you girls anyways. So if she's gonna be your friend more, I will too." Silver Spoon said.

Huh...who knew these two could be so nice?

Silver Spoon's P.O.V.

Later it was after school when we met up with the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Sorry we can't hang out today girls..." Diamond Tiara said. "But I promised daddy I'd get home right after school today." She said.

"That's all right. We can hang out tomorrow. Provided this is a permanent thing and not a one-off deal." Scootaloo said. Oh if only she and her friends knew...

"Don't worry, it's a permanent thing." Diamond Tiara said and we left.

"...We were really close to being ousted back there, X." I said to Diamond Tiara.

"I know...but I think I covered well." Diamond Tiara said. "Fixing damage Y did with those three was not easy, but I managed to do it without blowing my cover." She added. Soon an exact copy showed up with cloak on.

"...Ugh...I can't believe you would even bother with those blank flanks!" The copy said.

"But you know as well as I do that we've wanted to be their friend since day one. It took us getting separated to do it, but we're in." X said.

"Correction: Your in. I'm on the outskirts. And about to have to flee ponyville." Y said.

"You know we're one and the same right?" X asked.

"Don't remind me..." Y said.

"Just stop fighting." I said.

"Sorry Silver Spoon." X said. I walked X home as much as I could after Y left.

"See you tomorrow X?" I said.

"It's Diamond Tiara..." X said.

A short while later, I heard a scream.
