Shine Like A Diamondby MASTERMIND360ChaptersVolunteeringThe TalkingLaser TagVolunteeringThe Big Sibling Program is being hosted by CHS. It is a program where older people such as; senior students, gaurdians, teachers and parents are assigned as Role Models to spend quality time to the young ones, this is the first kind of program that CHS never think of aside of the previous school events that had happened since Princess Twilight's first visit to the human world. After watching the movie called, Role Models, Principal Celestia and her sister, Vice Principal Luna decided to host another school event with the same event that in the movie deals with, so they figured that CHS needs to host a program like this. They also did some research that other schools deals with the same thing. After the announcement and a quick brief of how the program works, students were eager to participate and get to assigned the young students. Everyone in CHS were chattering with each other about the Big Sibling Program as Sunset Shimmer walk her way to where her friends were. She look around and of course her all of her schoolmates were talking about the Big Sibling Program and from the sounds of it, they're really excited about. Sunset had to be honest, she too was also eager to join this program, but first, she must meet up with her friends. Sunset found her friends chilling inside the band room and they're also talking about this Program as well. "Hey girls," Sunset greeted them. "Sup, Shimmer," Rainbow greeted back, offering her a High Five and Sunset returns the favor. "You girls are excited for the Big Sibling Program?" Sunset asked them, she's just so excited as Pinkie Pie right now. "Well, of course we do," Twilight replied as Sunset took a sit next to her. "I mean, Crystal Prep never host a kind of Program like this before, so this program is my first ever program to volunteer, aside of the previous school events." "CHS doesn't even had a program like this one before," Applejack added. "This one is new to all of us here." "And hanging out with the young ones sounds pretty fair," Rainbow said. "And hanging out with Scoots makes it even more awesome!" "And we already assigned to look out for our sisters after the Program started hosting," Rarity chimed in while checking herself out with her mirror. "So who else you're assigning too?" Fluttershy asked to those who hadn't volunteered. Not yet. "I had no idea who," Sunset shrugged. "But the only thing I do know is mentoring that person. As much as I loved you girls, I also had the need to teach young ones about the true meaning of Friendship, showing them there's another way and taking them to the right path." "Now ah' see why ya' so eager to went along this program, Sugarcube," Applejack told her. "That's exactly what I was doing with Gummy!" Pinkie chimed in while holding her plush. Pinkie Pie is SO random and no matter how long she spent with their lives, they still couldn't figure her out. Especially how she's able to assigned a plush as a Role Model was clearly unknown. So Sunset tries to change the subject, "So... any more spots to take?" She asked them. "We've all got taken and so does Pinkie..." Rainbow stared at her pinkish friend who was playing with her plus. "Well... somehow to look out for her plush...." "You might as well take it now before all spots were taken," Twilight advised her fiery haired friend. "I'm doing that right now," Then she took off to Principal Celestia's office. Sunset made it to Principal Celestia's office and entered and was greeted by the smile the older woman was wearing the moment her student steps in. "Ah, Sunset Shimmer," She spoke. "I assumed you're here to volunteer for the Big Sibling Program." "Yes, Principal Celestia," Sunset nodded. "I hope I'm not too late." "I am certain you are not, Miss Shimmer," Principal Celestia replied and then bring out a sign up sheet that was filled with all of the students' names, well some, were not written there yet. "Just sign your name here and I'll see who you'll be assigning too." Sunset grab a pen and write her signature on the sign up sheet, and Celestia check the sheet again and to find Sunset's name included. After thinking of who she'll be assigning, her smile changed into serious that all students find her being serious when she's like that. "Sunset Shimmer," She spoke in a stern tone. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" She nodded again. "Of course," but then her smile faded when she saw the Principle wearing a serious look. "Did I do something wrong?" "No," She shook her head. "The person who you'll be assigning to may not be easy for you to make it work." "I assumed it must be a school bully," Sunset clarify. Celestia nodded in return. "Yes. This one here is Diamond Tiara. Yesterday, she got caught for bullying Applebloom and her friends and this morning we have her sign up into this program and we had her wait in my sister's office for someone to be her Role Model. Now that you're here, I figured that maybe you can help her change since you've been where she was except for being rich and spoiled and the whole magic thing." "I can see where this is going." Sunset said. "That's right," Celestia responded. "Are you sure you can deal with her shenanigans?" Sunset smiled at her again. "Principle Celestia, everyone can still change and everyone deserves a second chance, like me and where it got me up untill now. And I believe that Diamond Tiara can still change if someone shows her that right path. And that someone is me." Principle Celestia smile warmly at her. "Then you'll be assigning Diamond Tiara. She's waiting at my sister's office, I'll let her know that you're coming." Sunset then exit the office and made her to Vice Principal Luna's office. She had to admit, Sunset knew the rich girl like everyone else knew her but she's one of the students who had never interact with her. Heck, not even during her darker days as the school bully, so this is likely the first time Sunset has ever talked to Diamond Tiara. Meanwhile, inside Vice Principal's office, Luna and Diamond Tiara just stared coldly at each other with their arms crossed. Luna always knew that the young rich troublemaker is always up to no good, and the CMC being her usual soft targets are just giving her the nerves. She just received a call from her sister that Sunset had finally joined and assigned to be with Diamond Tiara. She knew the fiery haired girl well, and she had hope that Sunset can help her change like how she's change. And finally, Sunset Shimmer entered the office only to find Vice Principal Luna and Diamond Tiara stared back at her the moment she went inside. Luna's cold expression altered into a warm loving smile at her student. "Sunset Shimmer," Luna spoke warmly. "I just got the word from my sister that you'll be looking out for Diamond Tiara for Big Sibling Program." Sunset smiled back at her and walk over to Diamond and stared at her and oh boy, she does look stern after hearing the mean things Diamond did to Applebloom and her friends. "I believe we never spoke with each other before," Sunset told her, still looking stern. Diamond rolled her eyes. "Yes but we do knew much about each other." "Now listen here, Tiara," Luna began, sounding really, really strict. "Miss Shimmer here is going to be with you for the Big Sibling Program and you must show her some respect." "Why would I show respect to a girl that turned into demon?" Diamond asked coldly. Sunset flinched at that but remain still, not wanting to give Diamond the way to use against her. "Yes, but she worked hard enough to make up for what she did," Luna replied strictly. "And look at her now; a love, caring and a better person who changed her ways and changed drastically from her old self and may I need to remind that she and her friends saved all of you a lot of times?" Diamond said nothing but just glared at her. "You're at the wrong path where Miss Shimmer was before," Luna continued. "She can help you understand that you don't understand and I don't want you making things harder for Sunset here, Tiara." Diamond Tiara just glared at both of them and didn't say anything. Nothing at all. She got no other words to fight back, for now. "Then I guess you two must be on your way." Luna told them. Diamond stood up and turned to leave first then Sunset followed. As they left the office, Luna hoped that Diamond could clean up her act now. And hopefully Sunset Shimmer is someone who you can count on. As Diamond Tiara and Sunset Shimmer are walking down the halls together, without making a single eye contact or ever spoke a word, Diamond Tiara is just being unhappy about this, well in reality, she got herself into this and there's no one to blame but herself. Without her powers, Sunset could still tell that Diamond is being miserable about it as her face says she does. So Sunset decided to break the ice in hopes to lighten up her mood . "Sooo..." Sunset started. "What's eating you?' "Why do you ask?" Diamond grumbled, not daring to stare back at her. "Well you're not in the mood and I just want to see if I can help you lighten up," Sunset said. "I've been where you were, Diamond. Trust me, if they can help me change, and I can help you change too." "Why?" Diamond asked again. "Just for the Big Sibling Program?" "Well not for the program," Sunset answered. "At first....but after seeing how mean you are and reminds me of myself back then, I believe that everyone can change for the better and can go to the right path and learn The Magic of Friendship. So that's why I agree to help you, Diamond Tiara." "That's funny. Coming from you," Diamond sarcastically replied. "What do you mean?" "I'm saying that it's funny that those words came out from your mouth; from someone who rules this school by fear and iron fist." "I'm change," Sunset repeated. "It won't be that hard to change if you just let me help you." However, Diamond just simply ignored by fishing for her cellphone and started texting, without paying an eye to Sunset. And Sunset herself knew that this might be hard but knowing herself, she can make this work. She can help Diamond Tiara, she can help change her, but first she needs to understand her and must show her another way that is more to life than just being rich and all. To succeed, she just needs some flippin faith Author's Note So, here we are at the first chapter. If you don't know what the Big Sibling Program is, look that up using Google. And also watched the movie called, "Role Models" since the story revolves around the same program. I, for myself has not watched the movie but I just watched the trailers for further research and I had seen enough. Also, if you want Sunset and Diamond sister like moments, then don't wory. Those will come out soon. I just need time. The Talking"So wait, yer' saying that yer' the role model for Diamond Tiara? The Diamond Tiara?" Applejack asked Sunset, while she's half disgust for her sister's bully being in her presence while half concern for her friend for who she's assigning too. Sunset and Diamond were in the hallway with RD, AJ and Rarity alongside they're sisters, (well at least to Scootalo as Rainbow always sees her as her own little sister), and yes, Scootalo alongside her friends were glaring at Diamond Tiara for not only that stunt she pulled on them yesterday, but also because the things she did in the past, it's no wonder Silver Spoon cut ties with her for who knows how long since then. Sunset notices their expressions they were given her so she needed to at least talk them out first, "Look, girls, I get that all of you were feeling this way for what Diamond did," Sunset reasoned. "But trust me, I've been where she was, and you girls helped me change, and I'm doing the same for her." Applejack sighs in response, "Sunset, ah' understand but unlike you, Diamond...she's... she's too much of a headache to tolerate with no matter how many times ah' lectured her for bullying mah' sister and her friends." "And when she says headache," Scootalo added. "I'd say that she's so toxic to tolerate with than we could ever bare!" Upon hearing Scootalo calling her that, Diamond turned her attention from her cellphone and to Scootalo's eyes with anger. "Toxic huh?!" The rich girl spat at her. "Why you little-!" But before she could charged towards Scootalo, Sunset firmly grabbed her shoulders while Rainbow Dash shield the young daredevil and give the rich girl the deadliest glare she could ever muster. "Diamond Tiara," Sunset told her strictly. Really strict. Truth to be told, as much as she wants to help her, she never even intended to be this strict, meaning that she had to be cold, and meaning that she had to be a bit mean but she's not going to sugarcoat her bad actions. "Violence doesn't solve anything! It could get you a lot of trouble than you're in right now, young lady!" "And what about you?!" Diamond asked them, slapping Sunset's off of her shoulders and glared at her. "You used to be bully! And then you said that violence can't solve anything!" "Well, unlike you, young lady," Sunset replied coldly. "When I was stilll a bully, I pretty much harassed and blackmail everyone but violence is the least of my intentions! Now calm down this instant, Tiara!" Diamond Tiara knew she had no choice but to listen to Sunset, even if she can get away with like normal, there's too many students and so does Sunset, her friends, and the crusaders and they're likely going to snitch on her to Principal Celestia. So despite being unhappy for this, she just take a few deep breaths until she was finally calm. But still being stubborn and miserable for this. Sunset's strict demeanor change to a warm smile. "Now that's better," she turned to her friends and the crusaders. "Okay, what you girls said was true but like I just said, trust me, I can deal with her. You'll see." Her friends truly trusted her but they're still uncertain and concerned for her. So Rarity asked, "I really hope you know what you're doing, darling." "Don't worry about me," Sunset assured her again. "It has to take time." "Wait till you had enough with her shenanigans," Rainbow warned her. "Now matter how hard those lectures I gave her for messing with scoots, she just doesn't care! And... I know that you used to be a bully like her but her, damn, she's like a pain in the heart!" "Rainbow Dash!" Sunset suddenly scolded her, then calm down. "Look, I get that you girls can't tolerate with her much longer, and if we had it my way, I'd rather keep my mouth shut other than calling her names even if it's true or not, for as long as it sill mean." Rainbow Dash sighs and nodded, knowing that Sunset was right. And soon, the bell rings, signaling everyone that is lunch time. "Look, I'll see you girls after lunch," Sunset said and turned to leave with Diamond Tiara closed behind. The girls just stayed and stared at the two girls walking to the cafeteria. "Ah' just hope Sunset knows what she's doing," Apple bloom said. "Seems like she's our last hope to get Diamond to settle down." "Ah' know what you mean," Applejack replied. "But we all know who Sunset was and how she used to be. We just gotta have faith in her, and yet, despite seeing how much of a headache she was, Sunset still seem determined to teach Diamond the true meaning of Friendship." The others agreed and made their way to the same lunch area. Inside the cafeteria, Sunset steps a bit forwad as it was her turn to get her lunch from Granny Smith, while Diamond Tiara had took her lunch first and was sitting alone in a table. Sunset frowned at the sight of the lonely girl sitting by herself, just barely eat her food. This takes her back to that day, 3 days after the Fall Formal where she was sitting at that table, that same very table Diamond sat now, where she was alone, ignoring the cold stares and whispers from other students but that didn't matter when her friends joined her, giving her company. So Sunset decided to do the same for Diamond. She sat beside Diamond and lay her food tray on the table beside Diamond's. DT just ignores her, just eating her friend, expressionless. So Sunset decided to cheer her up a bit, to ligthen up the mood. Usually, this was Pinkie Pie always do but Sunset has got to do it herself. "Look..." She started. "I know you're very miserable about this right now, but you don't have to be miserable anymore because there's more to life than being rich and all, there's another way. And I'm gonna show it to you." Diamond Tiara put down her fork and slowly glared at the older girl. "Why do you care? You're just like a person who was willing to drop a few coins on a charity case like me hoisted by this stupid program." Sunset was taken back by this but still keeps her cool. Her therapy for her anger totally paid off. "Listen when I say this again," Sunset repeated. "The reason I volunteered this program is because I figured I can teach the youngsters the true meaning of Friendship, showing them the right path like my friends did to me. Now that's why I want to help you, Diamond Tiara." Diamond didn't say anything, but slowly turned her attention back to her food and continue eating. Though barely and slowly. As she was eating, Sunset realized that Diamond did have a friend with her; Silver Spoon, of course she also know her as well. "Didn't you have a friend?" Sunset asked her as Diamond stopepd eating. "Silver Spoon, where is she?" "She cut ties with me," Diamond answered, still not looking back to Sunset. "Like not too long ago. Why do you ask?" Sunset hesitate a bit to answer but said, "I just... a bit curious and whatever happened between you two that made her want to cut ties with you... I'd believe that she may did for a reason." Then finally, Diamond turned to her. "Then what makes you think that Silver only denounce me for a reason?" Sunset shrugged, "Well, according to what they told me about you, I could guess that Silver can't sugarcoat your past mistakes anymore." Then what caught her attention is seeing Silver Spoon talking and laughing with Lyra a few rows away from them. "And from the looks of it, she's seem like she's already change since she cut ties with you." However, this only makes Diamond a bit more jealous and a bit betrayed but with Sunset and everyone in the same room as her, she'd rather keep her mouth shut. The last thing she needs is a detention if not suspension. "But I know you can do that too," Sunset told her. "It's not too late to change, Diamond Tiara. You can atone your mistakes, help people who still needs to be helped, understand what Friendship truly means. And knowing you actually, you don't seem to understand the true meaning of that and you must have seen Silver Spoon more of your personal business partner other than your real friend. Silver could've had saw you as her true friend but as you showed your true colors, her real friend is nowhere to be seen. So she must've felt betrayed and had to cut you out of her life..." "But still, she betrayed me!" Diamond protested. "Well, you were the first one who betrayed her," Sunset countered sternly. "She sees you as her only friend but you don't see her the way she sees you! And when you become incredibly a parasite to everyone here, Silver Spoon realizes that you right now, is not the you she see believes you are." Sunset's face soften when she sees Diamond a bit hurt in her own way, making her a bit guilty. "Look... I'm sorry but it's the truth and it had to be told in the harsh way. But you can still make up for it, prove to everyone that you changed and prove how genuine and regretful you are to Silver Spoon." "But why would I do that if I am already much of a jerk to everyone here?" Diamond asked. "Everyone deserves a second chance," Sunset told her. "A second chance they don't deserved but they had that chance. And you had given that second chance now, Diamond Tiara." Diamond just sighs, grumbling the fact that she had to be lectured by a senior student like Sunset, so not wanting to talk more about this topic anymore; she decided to begrudgingly changed the subject. "Enough about me," Diamond said, changing the subject. "What about you?" Sunset knew she was trying to change the subject but decided to answer her anyway, "Well... I was just like you, sure I was a bully but I was also alone." "And then you gave yourself in to those girls you called friends?" Diamond bluntly asked her which makes Sunset feeling offended when she mentioned her friends that way. "Yes, and I don't appreciated that way you talked about my friends, Tiara," Sunset said sternly. "So what else do want to know about me?" "Oh you know..." Diamond replied, still glaring at her. "Just still can't believe that I find it rediculous that everyone suddenly forgives you for everything you've done and the Fall Formal." Even after everything I've been through together with my friends, there's still someone who's still very resentful towards me? Sunset thought. "I could tell that you still hated me for that," Sunset clarified. "Yeah, of course I do!" Diamond argued, though it's not loud to attract everyone's attention. "How can everyone suddenly forgives you for everything you've done and especially that Fall Formal?! This is what is also eating me in the inside! Not only I get in trouble for bullying, losing Silver Spoon, but also because I get to be lectured by The Sunset Shimmer who was once a school bully, turned into a demon and then few months later, you were forgiven!" "You know that was pretty hypocritical on that bully part when you're also a bully yourself," Sunset countered again. "But yeah, I can see why you still hated me. You hated me for not only being a bully but also turning into a demon while you're still a bully like you are now, and don't forget, we never interact with each other before, so consider this our first time." Diamond was hesitated to answer, "I supposed you're right..." "And also, it's okay if you still held a bit of grudge but just to remind you," Sunset reminded her, "I'm not that person anymore, Diamond. And everything I did in the past was in the past, I fixed all my mistakes, learned The Magic of Friendship, reconcile with my old teacher, and finally move on to improve for the better. So it's not the point to look back now if you want to continue living. If you trust me, I'll give you a second chance to change your ways and don't worry about doing all that alone, I'll be with you in every step in the way." So then, after 10 seconds of waiting, Diamond Tiara finally answered. "You know what? I'll think about it, but only because you made me to!" "Diamond Tiara," Sunset said, shaking her head. "I'm not forcing you to. I just want you to take this second chance I'm giving you so you'll fix your past mistakes and make it up to everone you've hurt." "And what if I say no?" Diamond asked with a cheeky grin. Sunset responded with a stern glare, this cause Diamond to grumble again but she had to. "Fine. But only for your own sake, Sunset Shimmer." She turned her attention back to her food. "Do I have to spell that out to you again, young lady?" Sunset asked her in a very strict tone. "Nope," Diamond replied, still not bothering to look back at her as she chew her food. Sunset knew that Diamond is still unwillingly to take this chance she's offering her. And it's also getting hard for her as well, so before she gives her a head start, she must have Diamond Tiara realizes her past actions soon enough. So, without any words she could come up with to reason with her, Sunset starts to eat her food before it gets cold. They may be right about what they said about her, but I'm not giving up. Not now. I am helping Diamond Tiara to change no matter how hard she's trying to make. Author's Note Before any of you said that I had made Diamond a bit OOC, I want to let you all know that I had made Diamond Tiara a bit more toxic than how she was portrayed in mlp and briefly in the Equestria Girls series so this story can take a bit longer. So what do you think? Does everything the girls did to help Sunset change and with Sunset doing the same thing to Diamond Work would work? Can Diamond Tiara changed her ways and make it up to everonye in CHS? Especially Silver Spoon? Well stay tuned to find out. Stay coolio. Peace! Laser TagThe rest of the day is getting.... a bit crazy. For one, Diamond Tiara reluctantly agrees to try to turn over a new leaf or something in Sunset's request, but knowing her, she's only making things harder for not only Sunset but also herself. Until Diamond crossed it when she intentionally blew up their chemical experiment while Sunset is her lab partner, then she was taken straight back to Luna's office, and she really recieved a good scolding from the Vice Principal. Sunset was told to wait out by the door, she just sighs in frustration, pinching the bridge of her nose. Diamond Tiara's behavior is getting real toxic than she thought it can get. But she always reminded herself that she's also this way back then, only difference from her and DT is that Sunset resorts to harassing other than violence, it is implied by most of the students that DT got into fights not too long after Silver Spoon cut ties with her. She heard footsteps coming closer, she gaze on her left to see Rainbow Dash and Scootalo. They can tell that Sunset was waiting by Luna's office and the sound of her yelling can be heard from the inside, meaning that DT was back there, again. "DT giving you problems?" Rainbow asked her with a concern. "Yes..." Sunset admitted. "And what shocks me the most is that I keep hearing people here been saying that she got into fights a few times after Silver Spoon denounce her!" She let out a big sigh. "I told you she's toxic," Scootalo reminded her. "You guys are right but that doesn't mean I'm giving up," Sunset insisted with a determined look on her face. "I'm not resting until Diamond was fit to be redeemed. I know she can change, she just refuse to see it. Reminds me of myself when Princess Celestia had been telling me about Friendship and I kept on brushing it off." "That's what I'm worrying about," Rainbow Dash replied. She gaze down to Scootalo, then for a bit moment she wear a smile on her face then stared back at Sunset. "You know that you could take Diamon Tiara to the Laser Tag at the mall?" She suggested. "It's the best place where all participants of the Big Sibling Program ever went to. I mean, I don't see why not. Seems the only option I could think of." Sunset thought about the suggestion for a moment. Yes, it is true that most of the participants went their just for the fun of it, and believe or not, but Sunset herself was considered one of the best Laser tag shooters there, she visited their when her friends are busy with their own, her name has always been on the top of the leaderboards because of how many laser tags she got, all thanks to her Dead Eye. "Sure," Sunset answered. "It may not sound optional but hey, it's the Big Sibling Program and everyone goes there!" "And remember," Rainbow warned her, then she wears a grin on her face. "We're going to one shot you from every possible angle. Good luck, Shimmer!" Sunset grinned back at her. "Oh, don't push your luck. I will one shot you in an instant! You won't even have time to react quick!" "We'll see..." Rainbow replied back as she and Scootalo turned to leave. Sunset liked the idea of this. Especially that this is also how the Big Sibling Program works. But for now, she must wait until Diamond's detention was served. Earlier, Sunset asked Vice Principal Luna to soften the blow so she and Diamond still have time to joined the rest at the Laser Tag game at the mall. So Diamond's detention was ligthen up to an hour and a half. She's waiting by the parking lot, the whole lot was empty except for her car still in park. She gaze forward to see Diamond Tiara walking out of the building towards her. The expression she's wearing is somewhat mean but Sunset didn't care, since she was giving her an icy glare that no doubt didn't make the rich girl flinch. "You shouldn't have crossed it by blowing both of us up," Sunset told her sternly with her arms crossed. Diamond Tiara just sighs. "It's your fault that you have to be my lab partner." Diamond accused her. "You purposly blew up our chemical experiment!" Sunset scolded her. "That was also your fault for adding up some things for this stupid experiment!" Diamond shouted back. "Those were the ingredients the teacher assigned us to!" Sunset countered back. But before this gets any further, Sunset takes a few deep breaths to calm down. She calms down but still wearing that strict look on her face. "You got a lot of nerve, young lady," Sunset said. "You're lucky that I have to ask Vice Principal Luna to lighten your detention so we can have enough time to go to the mall for something fun." Diamond crossed her arms and gazed to her left. "I doubt it'd be fun..." She muttered. "Oh you'll see." Sunset told her. As Sunset step aside and grabbed her keys from her pockets to unlock her car, Diamond Tiara was a bit surprised that the senior student's car was none other than the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. It has her signature color painted on it, and a logo of her cutie mark was seen on the hood of the car. Of course, she was half impressed half bored. "Oh wow," She sarcastically commented at the vehicle. "You got yourself an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Cool, nobody cares..." "If you're that interested about supercars then just so you know, I have more supercars than just this one." Sunset gestured to her car. "I have to admit, I was pretty much picky to purchase any supercar I want so I used all of my savings I brought along with me from Equestria to buy all of these supercars that existed in the 21st century. The rests were at the parking garage." "So you think impressing me with supecars is going to make me to willingly to trust you?" Diamond Tiara asked her sarcastically. "I genuinely did not bought all of these supercars to impress anyone and you, but it's because I got so picky and those cars were so awesome that I have to waste all of my Equestrian savings in exchange for all of these." "I can easily bought that myself," Diamond Tiara said. "But daddy said that you should always save money. Why bother wasting it for a Playstation 5?" "Well, we better get going or else we'll miss out on the fun," Sunset said as she hops in. Diamond sighs again but she just freshed out of detention so she hops in the passenger seat and puts her seatbelt on. Sunset drives the Aston Martin to the road that leads to the mall. The drive was silent but also quick that she's driving a frickin supercar. Eventually, they made it to the mall, Sunset parked her car in an empty spot. She turns off the engine as she and Diamond stepped out of the vehicle and walked their way towards the mall. When they're in the mall, they see a lot people around, walking, shopping, talking whatever. Diamond Tiara loved going to the mall, but without Silver Spoon and everyone hating on her, she doesn't have the love of being in this place, for now. "So what are we doing here, exactly?" She asked Sunset. Sunset look at her. ""Well, we're going for something fun to say the least. A game of Laser Tag." She announced. The mentioned of that game came back to her. Sure, she used to have fun with it when Silver Spoon was around but without her... she's not having the feeling. "I always loved Laser Tag," Diamond concede. "I used to love playing it with Silver Spoon. But now... I don't feel like it..." she turned her head to her right, ignoring Sunset's gaze towards her. "Look..." Sunset begin. "When we're done, you're going to exactly tell of what you did to Silvr Spoon. No ifs no buts. I want the truth. Got me?" She added an icy tone at the last part of the sentence. "Ugh, fine." DT grumbled. They finally made it to the Laser Tag place, where they bought two passes for them to enter. They put on their Laser Tag vest, Laser Tag gun, and other gears. Ever since Sunset had gotten most tags single handed, the owner of this establishment decided to add something up, anyone can play Solo as they wanted, just to test their skills. So recently, It was just Sunset Shimmer and Diamond Tiara, no one else. While the rests are either pair up, a whole team, some decided to go for solo, heck, even most of the students from Crystal Prep were here as well, and they were either of these option of play here. So then, the game begins, and since it's just the two of them, they're basically outnumbered. Heck, Diamond Tiara had no idea on how did Sunset manage to one shot all of them single handedly. She and Sunset were starting with taking cover behind the pillars of their base. "What now, Shimmer?" Diamond half sneered at her. "It's just the two of us and there's plenty of them." "If you're going to know how I always win this in solo then you better watch me," Sunset told her. She popped out of her cover and activates her Dead Eye mode, time slows down but her, so she taps an X at Octavia, Button Mash, Lightning Dust, and Flash, then she oneshotted all of them with her double Laser Tag pistols single handedly, and thus 4 players were out of the game immediately. With 4 players out, Sunset did a brief exercise then goes for the flag from the oppositions, but not before she tells Diamond, "Guard the flag until I get back!" Then she quickly took off from her base and DT as she head for the flag. As she was running as fast as she can, the others she passed saw going for any of the flags, so they quickly try to take a good shot at her. But thanks to Sunset's speed and agility, they ended up laser tagged each other. Sunset saw the enemy base but it was gaurded by Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare and Indigo, Sunset used her Dead Eye and oneshotted them in an instant, putting them off of the game. She entered the enemy base and grabbed the flag, but was immediately outnumbered the rest of them, she quickly take cover to avoid getting tagged. "We got her outnumbered!" Rainbow Dash announced as she and everyone else begin to fire at her direction. It seems that they have planned to outnumber her considering the fact that she has single handedly fired at all of them, however, this is not enough to put Sunset out of the game. So she quickly stood up and activates her dead eye mode, tagging Xs on Rainbow Dash, Scootalo, Sugarcoat, and laser tags them in an instant. She looks behind and activates it again, tagging Xs on Sandlewood, Micro Chips, Frosty Orange and GIlda, and tags them in an instant. With them out, Sunset quickly grabs the flag and take it back to her base and place it there. "Alright, now it's your turn to take the flag from some other's base," Sunset told her. DT rolled her eyes. "Fine..." she muttered again and head on her way. She went to the left, laser tagged both Snips and Snails who weren't careful enough to watch their surroundings. They left the field in disappointment as DT stuck out a tongue at them for being so dumb at this. She slowly went to the enemy base and saw the flag, she slowly let out a hand to take until... "Oh... it's you." A familiar and dull voice spoke to DT. Diamond Tiara turned around to see Silver Spoon pointing a laser gun at her, Diamond quickly aims the thing back at her as well. From the look on her face is pretty clear is that Silver Spoon isn't happy to see her at all. "I'd never thought I'd see you here," Diamond sneered at her. "I could say the same as you," Silver replied to her coldy. A few moments of silence later, Diamond Tiara broke the ice. "Why Silver Spoon? Why? Why did you betray me?" "Betray you?!" SIlver retorted, then she starts to get angry. "Me. Betray you?! You betrayed me! You never saw me as a friend but more of a personal business partner to you!" This yelling started to attract Sunset's attention, as she walks by to see where the commotion was coming from and stops where no one sees her and can see what's going on. "You were always selfish, Diamond!" Silver Spoon continued. "Just because you're rich doesn't mean that you have to be rude towards everyone! Towards me! The girl who has been a true friend to you but you never returned the kidness!" Sunset can't help but felt a bit bad for Silver Spoon, this makes her even more curious to find out what did Diamond Tiara did to Silver Spoon and wanted to patch things up between them so badly. "You never treated me like a friend but you treated me like a business partner!" Silver continued ranting. "I AM NOT YOUR ERRAND GIRL! I don't like the way of how you treated me! The way how you treat others! Everyone here is a human for goodness sake and people might get hurt because of you and your attitude but you still don't get it!! And then you pulled the last straw when that stunt you pulled on the CMC, I HAD IT!! I HAD IT WITH YOU!!" "SHUT UP!" Diamond Tiara yelled at her. "YOU WERE ALWAYS A BUSINESS PARTNER TO ME THAN JUST SOME FRIEND! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN YOU SHOUDL"VE SAY THIS TO MY FACE! IT'S NOT LIKE I CARED ABOUT YOU AT ALL!!" Now her yelling has caused a lot of attention, Sunset was shocked but quickly run into them to intervene. "Diamond Tiara!" Sunset scolded at her. "You should have not yelled at her that way! Silver Spoon doesn't deserved to be treated this way!" "No Sunset.... she's right..." she gaze to Silver Spoon who was on the verge of crying, tears streaming down her cheeks as she begin to cry, then her sadness was mixed with anger "IF SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARED ABOUT ME, THEN FINE! I'M GOING HOME NOW WITH LYRA!!" She threw her laser gun on the ground with a fit and run away crying. For Diamond Tiara on the other hand, doesn't seem to show some remorse of her actions. This unremorseful makes Sunset sick. Without thinking, she removed her vest, and put down her laser guns and yanked Diamond's hand as she pulled her away from the Laser Tag field. "You are going home, young lady!" Sunset throw jabs at her as she angrily pulls her out of the mall, Diamond Tiara just didn't resist. She doesn't seem to care at all. This is going to be a lot harder than how hard it was to make up my mistakes in the past. There's gotta be way to settle her down. while thinking deeply as she yanked her to the exit, an idea finally came in to her. Princess Twilight! That's it! Although I can't asked her to come here and help, all I'll be asking her for a Friendship Advice. She'll know what to tell me what to do. She just hope it would. Just hoped. Author's Note Now, before any of you started throwing jabs at me for some reason, let me sum it up is that in this story is where Diamond Tiara was portrait into much of a bigger jerk than how she was used to be in the MLP universe. That's basically one of my biggest grips of this story. Anyway, if you want to know exactly Diamond did, then make sure you slap that thumbs up ratings and leave commens about your thoughts of this. Stay Coolio. Peace.
VolunteeringThe Big Sibling Program is being hosted by CHS. It is a program where older people such as; senior students, gaurdians, teachers and parents are assigned as Role Models to spend quality time to the young ones, this is the first kind of program that CHS never think of aside of the previous school events that had happened since Princess Twilight's first visit to the human world. After watching the movie called, Role Models, Principal Celestia and her sister, Vice Principal Luna decided to host another school event with the same event that in the movie deals with, so they figured that CHS needs to host a program like this. They also did some research that other schools deals with the same thing. After the announcement and a quick brief of how the program works, students were eager to participate and get to assigned the young students. Everyone in CHS were chattering with each other about the Big Sibling Program as Sunset Shimmer walk her way to where her friends were. She look around and of course her all of her schoolmates were talking about the Big Sibling Program and from the sounds of it, they're really excited about. Sunset had to be honest, she too was also eager to join this program, but first, she must meet up with her friends. Sunset found her friends chilling inside the band room and they're also talking about this Program as well. "Hey girls," Sunset greeted them. "Sup, Shimmer," Rainbow greeted back, offering her a High Five and Sunset returns the favor. "You girls are excited for the Big Sibling Program?" Sunset asked them, she's just so excited as Pinkie Pie right now. "Well, of course we do," Twilight replied as Sunset took a sit next to her. "I mean, Crystal Prep never host a kind of Program like this before, so this program is my first ever program to volunteer, aside of the previous school events." "CHS doesn't even had a program like this one before," Applejack added. "This one is new to all of us here." "And hanging out with the young ones sounds pretty fair," Rainbow said. "And hanging out with Scoots makes it even more awesome!" "And we already assigned to look out for our sisters after the Program started hosting," Rarity chimed in while checking herself out with her mirror. "So who else you're assigning too?" Fluttershy asked to those who hadn't volunteered. Not yet. "I had no idea who," Sunset shrugged. "But the only thing I do know is mentoring that person. As much as I loved you girls, I also had the need to teach young ones about the true meaning of Friendship, showing them there's another way and taking them to the right path." "Now ah' see why ya' so eager to went along this program, Sugarcube," Applejack told her. "That's exactly what I was doing with Gummy!" Pinkie chimed in while holding her plush. Pinkie Pie is SO random and no matter how long she spent with their lives, they still couldn't figure her out. Especially how she's able to assigned a plush as a Role Model was clearly unknown. So Sunset tries to change the subject, "So... any more spots to take?" She asked them. "We've all got taken and so does Pinkie..." Rainbow stared at her pinkish friend who was playing with her plus. "Well... somehow to look out for her plush...." "You might as well take it now before all spots were taken," Twilight advised her fiery haired friend. "I'm doing that right now," Then she took off to Principal Celestia's office. Sunset made it to Principal Celestia's office and entered and was greeted by the smile the older woman was wearing the moment her student steps in. "Ah, Sunset Shimmer," She spoke. "I assumed you're here to volunteer for the Big Sibling Program." "Yes, Principal Celestia," Sunset nodded. "I hope I'm not too late." "I am certain you are not, Miss Shimmer," Principal Celestia replied and then bring out a sign up sheet that was filled with all of the students' names, well some, were not written there yet. "Just sign your name here and I'll see who you'll be assigning too." Sunset grab a pen and write her signature on the sign up sheet, and Celestia check the sheet again and to find Sunset's name included. After thinking of who she'll be assigning, her smile changed into serious that all students find her being serious when she's like that. "Sunset Shimmer," She spoke in a stern tone. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" She nodded again. "Of course," but then her smile faded when she saw the Principle wearing a serious look. "Did I do something wrong?" "No," She shook her head. "The person who you'll be assigning to may not be easy for you to make it work." "I assumed it must be a school bully," Sunset clarify. Celestia nodded in return. "Yes. This one here is Diamond Tiara. Yesterday, she got caught for bullying Applebloom and her friends and this morning we have her sign up into this program and we had her wait in my sister's office for someone to be her Role Model. Now that you're here, I figured that maybe you can help her change since you've been where she was except for being rich and spoiled and the whole magic thing." "I can see where this is going." Sunset said. "That's right," Celestia responded. "Are you sure you can deal with her shenanigans?" Sunset smiled at her again. "Principle Celestia, everyone can still change and everyone deserves a second chance, like me and where it got me up untill now. And I believe that Diamond Tiara can still change if someone shows her that right path. And that someone is me." Principle Celestia smile warmly at her. "Then you'll be assigning Diamond Tiara. She's waiting at my sister's office, I'll let her know that you're coming." Sunset then exit the office and made her to Vice Principal Luna's office. She had to admit, Sunset knew the rich girl like everyone else knew her but she's one of the students who had never interact with her. Heck, not even during her darker days as the school bully, so this is likely the first time Sunset has ever talked to Diamond Tiara. Meanwhile, inside Vice Principal's office, Luna and Diamond Tiara just stared coldly at each other with their arms crossed. Luna always knew that the young rich troublemaker is always up to no good, and the CMC being her usual soft targets are just giving her the nerves. She just received a call from her sister that Sunset had finally joined and assigned to be with Diamond Tiara. She knew the fiery haired girl well, and she had hope that Sunset can help her change like how she's change. And finally, Sunset Shimmer entered the office only to find Vice Principal Luna and Diamond Tiara stared back at her the moment she went inside. Luna's cold expression altered into a warm loving smile at her student. "Sunset Shimmer," Luna spoke warmly. "I just got the word from my sister that you'll be looking out for Diamond Tiara for Big Sibling Program." Sunset smiled back at her and walk over to Diamond and stared at her and oh boy, she does look stern after hearing the mean things Diamond did to Applebloom and her friends. "I believe we never spoke with each other before," Sunset told her, still looking stern. Diamond rolled her eyes. "Yes but we do knew much about each other." "Now listen here, Tiara," Luna began, sounding really, really strict. "Miss Shimmer here is going to be with you for the Big Sibling Program and you must show her some respect." "Why would I show respect to a girl that turned into demon?" Diamond asked coldly. Sunset flinched at that but remain still, not wanting to give Diamond the way to use against her. "Yes, but she worked hard enough to make up for what she did," Luna replied strictly. "And look at her now; a love, caring and a better person who changed her ways and changed drastically from her old self and may I need to remind that she and her friends saved all of you a lot of times?" Diamond said nothing but just glared at her. "You're at the wrong path where Miss Shimmer was before," Luna continued. "She can help you understand that you don't understand and I don't want you making things harder for Sunset here, Tiara." Diamond Tiara just glared at both of them and didn't say anything. Nothing at all. She got no other words to fight back, for now. "Then I guess you two must be on your way." Luna told them. Diamond stood up and turned to leave first then Sunset followed. As they left the office, Luna hoped that Diamond could clean up her act now. And hopefully Sunset Shimmer is someone who you can count on. As Diamond Tiara and Sunset Shimmer are walking down the halls together, without making a single eye contact or ever spoke a word, Diamond Tiara is just being unhappy about this, well in reality, she got herself into this and there's no one to blame but herself. Without her powers, Sunset could still tell that Diamond is being miserable about it as her face says she does. So Sunset decided to break the ice in hopes to lighten up her mood . "Sooo..." Sunset started. "What's eating you?' "Why do you ask?" Diamond grumbled, not daring to stare back at her. "Well you're not in the mood and I just want to see if I can help you lighten up," Sunset said. "I've been where you were, Diamond. Trust me, if they can help me change, and I can help you change too." "Why?" Diamond asked again. "Just for the Big Sibling Program?" "Well not for the program," Sunset answered. "At first....but after seeing how mean you are and reminds me of myself back then, I believe that everyone can change for the better and can go to the right path and learn The Magic of Friendship. So that's why I agree to help you, Diamond Tiara." "That's funny. Coming from you," Diamond sarcastically replied. "What do you mean?" "I'm saying that it's funny that those words came out from your mouth; from someone who rules this school by fear and iron fist." "I'm change," Sunset repeated. "It won't be that hard to change if you just let me help you." However, Diamond just simply ignored by fishing for her cellphone and started texting, without paying an eye to Sunset. And Sunset herself knew that this might be hard but knowing herself, she can make this work. She can help Diamond Tiara, she can help change her, but first she needs to understand her and must show her another way that is more to life than just being rich and all. To succeed, she just needs some flippin faith Author's Note So, here we are at the first chapter. If you don't know what the Big Sibling Program is, look that up using Google. And also watched the movie called, "Role Models" since the story revolves around the same program. I, for myself has not watched the movie but I just watched the trailers for further research and I had seen enough. Also, if you want Sunset and Diamond sister like moments, then don't wory. Those will come out soon. I just need time.
The Talking"So wait, yer' saying that yer' the role model for Diamond Tiara? The Diamond Tiara?" Applejack asked Sunset, while she's half disgust for her sister's bully being in her presence while half concern for her friend for who she's assigning too. Sunset and Diamond were in the hallway with RD, AJ and Rarity alongside they're sisters, (well at least to Scootalo as Rainbow always sees her as her own little sister), and yes, Scootalo alongside her friends were glaring at Diamond Tiara for not only that stunt she pulled on them yesterday, but also because the things she did in the past, it's no wonder Silver Spoon cut ties with her for who knows how long since then. Sunset notices their expressions they were given her so she needed to at least talk them out first, "Look, girls, I get that all of you were feeling this way for what Diamond did," Sunset reasoned. "But trust me, I've been where she was, and you girls helped me change, and I'm doing the same for her." Applejack sighs in response, "Sunset, ah' understand but unlike you, Diamond...she's... she's too much of a headache to tolerate with no matter how many times ah' lectured her for bullying mah' sister and her friends." "And when she says headache," Scootalo added. "I'd say that she's so toxic to tolerate with than we could ever bare!" Upon hearing Scootalo calling her that, Diamond turned her attention from her cellphone and to Scootalo's eyes with anger. "Toxic huh?!" The rich girl spat at her. "Why you little-!" But before she could charged towards Scootalo, Sunset firmly grabbed her shoulders while Rainbow Dash shield the young daredevil and give the rich girl the deadliest glare she could ever muster. "Diamond Tiara," Sunset told her strictly. Really strict. Truth to be told, as much as she wants to help her, she never even intended to be this strict, meaning that she had to be cold, and meaning that she had to be a bit mean but she's not going to sugarcoat her bad actions. "Violence doesn't solve anything! It could get you a lot of trouble than you're in right now, young lady!" "And what about you?!" Diamond asked them, slapping Sunset's off of her shoulders and glared at her. "You used to be bully! And then you said that violence can't solve anything!" "Well, unlike you, young lady," Sunset replied coldly. "When I was stilll a bully, I pretty much harassed and blackmail everyone but violence is the least of my intentions! Now calm down this instant, Tiara!" Diamond Tiara knew she had no choice but to listen to Sunset, even if she can get away with like normal, there's too many students and so does Sunset, her friends, and the crusaders and they're likely going to snitch on her to Principal Celestia. So despite being unhappy for this, she just take a few deep breaths until she was finally calm. But still being stubborn and miserable for this. Sunset's strict demeanor change to a warm smile. "Now that's better," she turned to her friends and the crusaders. "Okay, what you girls said was true but like I just said, trust me, I can deal with her. You'll see." Her friends truly trusted her but they're still uncertain and concerned for her. So Rarity asked, "I really hope you know what you're doing, darling." "Don't worry about me," Sunset assured her again. "It has to take time." "Wait till you had enough with her shenanigans," Rainbow warned her. "Now matter how hard those lectures I gave her for messing with scoots, she just doesn't care! And... I know that you used to be a bully like her but her, damn, she's like a pain in the heart!" "Rainbow Dash!" Sunset suddenly scolded her, then calm down. "Look, I get that you girls can't tolerate with her much longer, and if we had it my way, I'd rather keep my mouth shut other than calling her names even if it's true or not, for as long as it sill mean." Rainbow Dash sighs and nodded, knowing that Sunset was right. And soon, the bell rings, signaling everyone that is lunch time. "Look, I'll see you girls after lunch," Sunset said and turned to leave with Diamond Tiara closed behind. The girls just stayed and stared at the two girls walking to the cafeteria. "Ah' just hope Sunset knows what she's doing," Apple bloom said. "Seems like she's our last hope to get Diamond to settle down." "Ah' know what you mean," Applejack replied. "But we all know who Sunset was and how she used to be. We just gotta have faith in her, and yet, despite seeing how much of a headache she was, Sunset still seem determined to teach Diamond the true meaning of Friendship." The others agreed and made their way to the same lunch area. Inside the cafeteria, Sunset steps a bit forwad as it was her turn to get her lunch from Granny Smith, while Diamond Tiara had took her lunch first and was sitting alone in a table. Sunset frowned at the sight of the lonely girl sitting by herself, just barely eat her food. This takes her back to that day, 3 days after the Fall Formal where she was sitting at that table, that same very table Diamond sat now, where she was alone, ignoring the cold stares and whispers from other students but that didn't matter when her friends joined her, giving her company. So Sunset decided to do the same for Diamond. She sat beside Diamond and lay her food tray on the table beside Diamond's. DT just ignores her, just eating her friend, expressionless. So Sunset decided to cheer her up a bit, to ligthen up the mood. Usually, this was Pinkie Pie always do but Sunset has got to do it herself. "Look..." She started. "I know you're very miserable about this right now, but you don't have to be miserable anymore because there's more to life than being rich and all, there's another way. And I'm gonna show it to you." Diamond Tiara put down her fork and slowly glared at the older girl. "Why do you care? You're just like a person who was willing to drop a few coins on a charity case like me hoisted by this stupid program." Sunset was taken back by this but still keeps her cool. Her therapy for her anger totally paid off. "Listen when I say this again," Sunset repeated. "The reason I volunteered this program is because I figured I can teach the youngsters the true meaning of Friendship, showing them the right path like my friends did to me. Now that's why I want to help you, Diamond Tiara." Diamond didn't say anything, but slowly turned her attention back to her food and continue eating. Though barely and slowly. As she was eating, Sunset realized that Diamond did have a friend with her; Silver Spoon, of course she also know her as well. "Didn't you have a friend?" Sunset asked her as Diamond stopepd eating. "Silver Spoon, where is she?" "She cut ties with me," Diamond answered, still not looking back to Sunset. "Like not too long ago. Why do you ask?" Sunset hesitate a bit to answer but said, "I just... a bit curious and whatever happened between you two that made her want to cut ties with you... I'd believe that she may did for a reason." Then finally, Diamond turned to her. "Then what makes you think that Silver only denounce me for a reason?" Sunset shrugged, "Well, according to what they told me about you, I could guess that Silver can't sugarcoat your past mistakes anymore." Then what caught her attention is seeing Silver Spoon talking and laughing with Lyra a few rows away from them. "And from the looks of it, she's seem like she's already change since she cut ties with you." However, this only makes Diamond a bit more jealous and a bit betrayed but with Sunset and everyone in the same room as her, she'd rather keep her mouth shut. The last thing she needs is a detention if not suspension. "But I know you can do that too," Sunset told her. "It's not too late to change, Diamond Tiara. You can atone your mistakes, help people who still needs to be helped, understand what Friendship truly means. And knowing you actually, you don't seem to understand the true meaning of that and you must have seen Silver Spoon more of your personal business partner other than your real friend. Silver could've had saw you as her true friend but as you showed your true colors, her real friend is nowhere to be seen. So she must've felt betrayed and had to cut you out of her life..." "But still, she betrayed me!" Diamond protested. "Well, you were the first one who betrayed her," Sunset countered sternly. "She sees you as her only friend but you don't see her the way she sees you! And when you become incredibly a parasite to everyone here, Silver Spoon realizes that you right now, is not the you she see believes you are." Sunset's face soften when she sees Diamond a bit hurt in her own way, making her a bit guilty. "Look... I'm sorry but it's the truth and it had to be told in the harsh way. But you can still make up for it, prove to everyone that you changed and prove how genuine and regretful you are to Silver Spoon." "But why would I do that if I am already much of a jerk to everyone here?" Diamond asked. "Everyone deserves a second chance," Sunset told her. "A second chance they don't deserved but they had that chance. And you had given that second chance now, Diamond Tiara." Diamond just sighs, grumbling the fact that she had to be lectured by a senior student like Sunset, so not wanting to talk more about this topic anymore; she decided to begrudgingly changed the subject. "Enough about me," Diamond said, changing the subject. "What about you?" Sunset knew she was trying to change the subject but decided to answer her anyway, "Well... I was just like you, sure I was a bully but I was also alone." "And then you gave yourself in to those girls you called friends?" Diamond bluntly asked her which makes Sunset feeling offended when she mentioned her friends that way. "Yes, and I don't appreciated that way you talked about my friends, Tiara," Sunset said sternly. "So what else do want to know about me?" "Oh you know..." Diamond replied, still glaring at her. "Just still can't believe that I find it rediculous that everyone suddenly forgives you for everything you've done and the Fall Formal." Even after everything I've been through together with my friends, there's still someone who's still very resentful towards me? Sunset thought. "I could tell that you still hated me for that," Sunset clarified. "Yeah, of course I do!" Diamond argued, though it's not loud to attract everyone's attention. "How can everyone suddenly forgives you for everything you've done and especially that Fall Formal?! This is what is also eating me in the inside! Not only I get in trouble for bullying, losing Silver Spoon, but also because I get to be lectured by The Sunset Shimmer who was once a school bully, turned into a demon and then few months later, you were forgiven!" "You know that was pretty hypocritical on that bully part when you're also a bully yourself," Sunset countered again. "But yeah, I can see why you still hated me. You hated me for not only being a bully but also turning into a demon while you're still a bully like you are now, and don't forget, we never interact with each other before, so consider this our first time." Diamond was hesitated to answer, "I supposed you're right..." "And also, it's okay if you still held a bit of grudge but just to remind you," Sunset reminded her, "I'm not that person anymore, Diamond. And everything I did in the past was in the past, I fixed all my mistakes, learned The Magic of Friendship, reconcile with my old teacher, and finally move on to improve for the better. So it's not the point to look back now if you want to continue living. If you trust me, I'll give you a second chance to change your ways and don't worry about doing all that alone, I'll be with you in every step in the way." So then, after 10 seconds of waiting, Diamond Tiara finally answered. "You know what? I'll think about it, but only because you made me to!" "Diamond Tiara," Sunset said, shaking her head. "I'm not forcing you to. I just want you to take this second chance I'm giving you so you'll fix your past mistakes and make it up to everone you've hurt." "And what if I say no?" Diamond asked with a cheeky grin. Sunset responded with a stern glare, this cause Diamond to grumble again but she had to. "Fine. But only for your own sake, Sunset Shimmer." She turned her attention back to her food. "Do I have to spell that out to you again, young lady?" Sunset asked her in a very strict tone. "Nope," Diamond replied, still not bothering to look back at her as she chew her food. Sunset knew that Diamond is still unwillingly to take this chance she's offering her. And it's also getting hard for her as well, so before she gives her a head start, she must have Diamond Tiara realizes her past actions soon enough. So, without any words she could come up with to reason with her, Sunset starts to eat her food before it gets cold. They may be right about what they said about her, but I'm not giving up. Not now. I am helping Diamond Tiara to change no matter how hard she's trying to make. Author's Note Before any of you said that I had made Diamond a bit OOC, I want to let you all know that I had made Diamond Tiara a bit more toxic than how she was portrayed in mlp and briefly in the Equestria Girls series so this story can take a bit longer. So what do you think? Does everything the girls did to help Sunset change and with Sunset doing the same thing to Diamond Work would work? Can Diamond Tiara changed her ways and make it up to everonye in CHS? Especially Silver Spoon? Well stay tuned to find out. Stay coolio. Peace!
Laser TagThe rest of the day is getting.... a bit crazy. For one, Diamond Tiara reluctantly agrees to try to turn over a new leaf or something in Sunset's request, but knowing her, she's only making things harder for not only Sunset but also herself. Until Diamond crossed it when she intentionally blew up their chemical experiment while Sunset is her lab partner, then she was taken straight back to Luna's office, and she really recieved a good scolding from the Vice Principal. Sunset was told to wait out by the door, she just sighs in frustration, pinching the bridge of her nose. Diamond Tiara's behavior is getting real toxic than she thought it can get. But she always reminded herself that she's also this way back then, only difference from her and DT is that Sunset resorts to harassing other than violence, it is implied by most of the students that DT got into fights not too long after Silver Spoon cut ties with her. She heard footsteps coming closer, she gaze on her left to see Rainbow Dash and Scootalo. They can tell that Sunset was waiting by Luna's office and the sound of her yelling can be heard from the inside, meaning that DT was back there, again. "DT giving you problems?" Rainbow asked her with a concern. "Yes..." Sunset admitted. "And what shocks me the most is that I keep hearing people here been saying that she got into fights a few times after Silver Spoon denounce her!" She let out a big sigh. "I told you she's toxic," Scootalo reminded her. "You guys are right but that doesn't mean I'm giving up," Sunset insisted with a determined look on her face. "I'm not resting until Diamond was fit to be redeemed. I know she can change, she just refuse to see it. Reminds me of myself when Princess Celestia had been telling me about Friendship and I kept on brushing it off." "That's what I'm worrying about," Rainbow Dash replied. She gaze down to Scootalo, then for a bit moment she wear a smile on her face then stared back at Sunset. "You know that you could take Diamon Tiara to the Laser Tag at the mall?" She suggested. "It's the best place where all participants of the Big Sibling Program ever went to. I mean, I don't see why not. Seems the only option I could think of." Sunset thought about the suggestion for a moment. Yes, it is true that most of the participants went their just for the fun of it, and believe or not, but Sunset herself was considered one of the best Laser tag shooters there, she visited their when her friends are busy with their own, her name has always been on the top of the leaderboards because of how many laser tags she got, all thanks to her Dead Eye. "Sure," Sunset answered. "It may not sound optional but hey, it's the Big Sibling Program and everyone goes there!" "And remember," Rainbow warned her, then she wears a grin on her face. "We're going to one shot you from every possible angle. Good luck, Shimmer!" Sunset grinned back at her. "Oh, don't push your luck. I will one shot you in an instant! You won't even have time to react quick!" "We'll see..." Rainbow replied back as she and Scootalo turned to leave. Sunset liked the idea of this. Especially that this is also how the Big Sibling Program works. But for now, she must wait until Diamond's detention was served. Earlier, Sunset asked Vice Principal Luna to soften the blow so she and Diamond still have time to joined the rest at the Laser Tag game at the mall. So Diamond's detention was ligthen up to an hour and a half. She's waiting by the parking lot, the whole lot was empty except for her car still in park. She gaze forward to see Diamond Tiara walking out of the building towards her. The expression she's wearing is somewhat mean but Sunset didn't care, since she was giving her an icy glare that no doubt didn't make the rich girl flinch. "You shouldn't have crossed it by blowing both of us up," Sunset told her sternly with her arms crossed. Diamond Tiara just sighs. "It's your fault that you have to be my lab partner." Diamond accused her. "You purposly blew up our chemical experiment!" Sunset scolded her. "That was also your fault for adding up some things for this stupid experiment!" Diamond shouted back. "Those were the ingredients the teacher assigned us to!" Sunset countered back. But before this gets any further, Sunset takes a few deep breaths to calm down. She calms down but still wearing that strict look on her face. "You got a lot of nerve, young lady," Sunset said. "You're lucky that I have to ask Vice Principal Luna to lighten your detention so we can have enough time to go to the mall for something fun." Diamond crossed her arms and gazed to her left. "I doubt it'd be fun..." She muttered. "Oh you'll see." Sunset told her. As Sunset step aside and grabbed her keys from her pockets to unlock her car, Diamond Tiara was a bit surprised that the senior student's car was none other than the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. It has her signature color painted on it, and a logo of her cutie mark was seen on the hood of the car. Of course, she was half impressed half bored. "Oh wow," She sarcastically commented at the vehicle. "You got yourself an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Cool, nobody cares..." "If you're that interested about supercars then just so you know, I have more supercars than just this one." Sunset gestured to her car. "I have to admit, I was pretty much picky to purchase any supercar I want so I used all of my savings I brought along with me from Equestria to buy all of these supercars that existed in the 21st century. The rests were at the parking garage." "So you think impressing me with supecars is going to make me to willingly to trust you?" Diamond Tiara asked her sarcastically. "I genuinely did not bought all of these supercars to impress anyone and you, but it's because I got so picky and those cars were so awesome that I have to waste all of my Equestrian savings in exchange for all of these." "I can easily bought that myself," Diamond Tiara said. "But daddy said that you should always save money. Why bother wasting it for a Playstation 5?" "Well, we better get going or else we'll miss out on the fun," Sunset said as she hops in. Diamond sighs again but she just freshed out of detention so she hops in the passenger seat and puts her seatbelt on. Sunset drives the Aston Martin to the road that leads to the mall. The drive was silent but also quick that she's driving a frickin supercar. Eventually, they made it to the mall, Sunset parked her car in an empty spot. She turns off the engine as she and Diamond stepped out of the vehicle and walked their way towards the mall. When they're in the mall, they see a lot people around, walking, shopping, talking whatever. Diamond Tiara loved going to the mall, but without Silver Spoon and everyone hating on her, she doesn't have the love of being in this place, for now. "So what are we doing here, exactly?" She asked Sunset. Sunset look at her. ""Well, we're going for something fun to say the least. A game of Laser Tag." She announced. The mentioned of that game came back to her. Sure, she used to have fun with it when Silver Spoon was around but without her... she's not having the feeling. "I always loved Laser Tag," Diamond concede. "I used to love playing it with Silver Spoon. But now... I don't feel like it..." she turned her head to her right, ignoring Sunset's gaze towards her. "Look..." Sunset begin. "When we're done, you're going to exactly tell of what you did to Silvr Spoon. No ifs no buts. I want the truth. Got me?" She added an icy tone at the last part of the sentence. "Ugh, fine." DT grumbled. They finally made it to the Laser Tag place, where they bought two passes for them to enter. They put on their Laser Tag vest, Laser Tag gun, and other gears. Ever since Sunset had gotten most tags single handed, the owner of this establishment decided to add something up, anyone can play Solo as they wanted, just to test their skills. So recently, It was just Sunset Shimmer and Diamond Tiara, no one else. While the rests are either pair up, a whole team, some decided to go for solo, heck, even most of the students from Crystal Prep were here as well, and they were either of these option of play here. So then, the game begins, and since it's just the two of them, they're basically outnumbered. Heck, Diamond Tiara had no idea on how did Sunset manage to one shot all of them single handedly. She and Sunset were starting with taking cover behind the pillars of their base. "What now, Shimmer?" Diamond half sneered at her. "It's just the two of us and there's plenty of them." "If you're going to know how I always win this in solo then you better watch me," Sunset told her. She popped out of her cover and activates her Dead Eye mode, time slows down but her, so she taps an X at Octavia, Button Mash, Lightning Dust, and Flash, then she oneshotted all of them with her double Laser Tag pistols single handedly, and thus 4 players were out of the game immediately. With 4 players out, Sunset did a brief exercise then goes for the flag from the oppositions, but not before she tells Diamond, "Guard the flag until I get back!" Then she quickly took off from her base and DT as she head for the flag. As she was running as fast as she can, the others she passed saw going for any of the flags, so they quickly try to take a good shot at her. But thanks to Sunset's speed and agility, they ended up laser tagged each other. Sunset saw the enemy base but it was gaurded by Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare and Indigo, Sunset used her Dead Eye and oneshotted them in an instant, putting them off of the game. She entered the enemy base and grabbed the flag, but was immediately outnumbered the rest of them, she quickly take cover to avoid getting tagged. "We got her outnumbered!" Rainbow Dash announced as she and everyone else begin to fire at her direction. It seems that they have planned to outnumber her considering the fact that she has single handedly fired at all of them, however, this is not enough to put Sunset out of the game. So she quickly stood up and activates her dead eye mode, tagging Xs on Rainbow Dash, Scootalo, Sugarcoat, and laser tags them in an instant. She looks behind and activates it again, tagging Xs on Sandlewood, Micro Chips, Frosty Orange and GIlda, and tags them in an instant. With them out, Sunset quickly grabs the flag and take it back to her base and place it there. "Alright, now it's your turn to take the flag from some other's base," Sunset told her. DT rolled her eyes. "Fine..." she muttered again and head on her way. She went to the left, laser tagged both Snips and Snails who weren't careful enough to watch their surroundings. They left the field in disappointment as DT stuck out a tongue at them for being so dumb at this. She slowly went to the enemy base and saw the flag, she slowly let out a hand to take until... "Oh... it's you." A familiar and dull voice spoke to DT. Diamond Tiara turned around to see Silver Spoon pointing a laser gun at her, Diamond quickly aims the thing back at her as well. From the look on her face is pretty clear is that Silver Spoon isn't happy to see her at all. "I'd never thought I'd see you here," Diamond sneered at her. "I could say the same as you," Silver replied to her coldy. A few moments of silence later, Diamond Tiara broke the ice. "Why Silver Spoon? Why? Why did you betray me?" "Betray you?!" SIlver retorted, then she starts to get angry. "Me. Betray you?! You betrayed me! You never saw me as a friend but more of a personal business partner to you!" This yelling started to attract Sunset's attention, as she walks by to see where the commotion was coming from and stops where no one sees her and can see what's going on. "You were always selfish, Diamond!" Silver Spoon continued. "Just because you're rich doesn't mean that you have to be rude towards everyone! Towards me! The girl who has been a true friend to you but you never returned the kidness!" Sunset can't help but felt a bit bad for Silver Spoon, this makes her even more curious to find out what did Diamond Tiara did to Silver Spoon and wanted to patch things up between them so badly. "You never treated me like a friend but you treated me like a business partner!" Silver continued ranting. "I AM NOT YOUR ERRAND GIRL! I don't like the way of how you treated me! The way how you treat others! Everyone here is a human for goodness sake and people might get hurt because of you and your attitude but you still don't get it!! And then you pulled the last straw when that stunt you pulled on the CMC, I HAD IT!! I HAD IT WITH YOU!!" "SHUT UP!" Diamond Tiara yelled at her. "YOU WERE ALWAYS A BUSINESS PARTNER TO ME THAN JUST SOME FRIEND! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN YOU SHOUDL"VE SAY THIS TO MY FACE! IT'S NOT LIKE I CARED ABOUT YOU AT ALL!!" Now her yelling has caused a lot of attention, Sunset was shocked but quickly run into them to intervene. "Diamond Tiara!" Sunset scolded at her. "You should have not yelled at her that way! Silver Spoon doesn't deserved to be treated this way!" "No Sunset.... she's right..." she gaze to Silver Spoon who was on the verge of crying, tears streaming down her cheeks as she begin to cry, then her sadness was mixed with anger "IF SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARED ABOUT ME, THEN FINE! I'M GOING HOME NOW WITH LYRA!!" She threw her laser gun on the ground with a fit and run away crying. For Diamond Tiara on the other hand, doesn't seem to show some remorse of her actions. This unremorseful makes Sunset sick. Without thinking, she removed her vest, and put down her laser guns and yanked Diamond's hand as she pulled her away from the Laser Tag field. "You are going home, young lady!" Sunset throw jabs at her as she angrily pulls her out of the mall, Diamond Tiara just didn't resist. She doesn't seem to care at all. This is going to be a lot harder than how hard it was to make up my mistakes in the past. There's gotta be way to settle her down. while thinking deeply as she yanked her to the exit, an idea finally came in to her. Princess Twilight! That's it! Although I can't asked her to come here and help, all I'll be asking her for a Friendship Advice. She'll know what to tell me what to do. She just hope it would. Just hoped. Author's Note Now, before any of you started throwing jabs at me for some reason, let me sum it up is that in this story is where Diamond Tiara was portrait into much of a bigger jerk than how she was used to be in the MLP universe. That's basically one of my biggest grips of this story. Anyway, if you want to know exactly Diamond did, then make sure you slap that thumbs up ratings and leave commens about your thoughts of this. Stay Coolio. Peace.
