Chptr 1View OnlineTiaras are ForeverChptr 1Diamond Tiara stared ahead of her at the black board as Cheerilee talked about cutie marks,"Boring!"she muttered hoping to get a few laughs but failed. Trying her best not to, but unable to help herself she glanced to her right at Apple Bloom, like usual whenever she saw Apple Bloom she felt an unpleasant feeling in the pit of her stomach and an anger that she couldn't explain. She didn't hate the yellow filly or at least she was pretty sure she didn't and Apple Bloom had never done anything to her. So she was always confused by her sudden anger every time she caught sight of her, to hide her confusion she usually just went with her angry thoughts and lashed out at the innocent filly which then made her feel bad and that angered her even more. Today was no exception as she watched Apple Bloom writing notes on a piece of paper, she scowled for a moment then catching sight of her friend Silver Spoon sitting looking bored she got an idea. "Pssssst!' Apple Bloom paused as she heard Diamond Tiara, then continued what she had been doing, "Pssssst!' Apple Bloom paused again then scowling continued to ignore Diamond Tiara. "PSSSST!" Diamond Tiara hissed right in Apple Bloom's face. "What!" Apple Bloom exclaimed in annoyance, Diamond waved a note in Apple Bloom's face and made meaningful jesters towards her friend. Annoyed and wanting to be left alone the yellow filly took the note. "Apple Bloom!" as Diamond had planned Ceerilee caught sight of Apple Bloom with the note."Are you passing a note?!?" "uuuh....uummm?" the filly was at a loss for words. "What could be so important it couldn't wait till after class?"Cheerilee demanded as she headed down the aisle and looked down at the dropped note,"It's Blank!"she said in surprise. Diamond Tiara laughed and as Cheerilee turned she knew now was the moment to give her punch line "Remind you of anypony?"success she thought to herself as all the other class mates laughed as Apple Bloom looked down sadly at her blank flank. a sudden feeling of guilt went through her and she suppressed it with thoughts of how Apple Bloom deserved it for being such a goody goody all the time. Still congratulating herself on how clever she had been she looked down at her own flank and smiled at the cutie mark there and thought happily how she had gotten it recently. ____________________________________________________________________________________ She'd gone on a trip with her father to Manehattan, He'd needed something flashy to impress a potential new client he was going to a dinner with, he explained to her and so they were going to a jewelers to get a new diamond. "After this are we going back to Ponyville?"she asked as they entered the shop, neither noticed as the brown stallion (behind the counter) eye's lit up at the word Ponyville and a slight smile came to his mouth. "How can I help you?" the shop keep asked in a businesslike voice. "I need one of your best diamond tie clips"Filthy Rich answered as he glanced around. While the stallion went to get a selection from the back Diamond Tiara wandered around the store looking at all the stuff in the display cases curiously. "Here you go, just let me know what catches your eye"the clerk said, putting down a tray in front of Filthy Rich holding 10 different tie clips. Wandering back over to her father, Diamond Tiara got up placing her front hooves on the counter and took a look at the tray and frowned "These aren't diamonds!" "What?"her father turned to her confused while the shop keep scowled. "These are glass, although made very well to look like diamonds, they're nothing more than fakes" "How can you be sure" the clerk demanded of her. "Well first off....."she animatedly pointed to the tie clips as she explained all the details that betrayed them as unreal. "How dare you try to trick me, now please show me some real diamonds!"Filthy Rich demanded angrily. As he went back with the tray of fakes. the clerk glared at the filly when Rich wasn't looking. "Here you go, real diamonds"a new tray was placed down. "ewww!" The two stallions looked at Diamond Tiara again. "What is it?"the clerk asked angrily,"These are real diamonds!" "Yeah, but barely, these are horrible, look at all these imperfections"pointing one after the other she pointed out little blemishes and other flaws in each one. By now Filthy Rich was furious,"Sir I want some quality diamonds and if you try to cheat me one more time I'll be sure no pony ever wants to come to your establishment again, this I promise or my name isn't Filthy Rich!" The clerks ears laid back in fear and his eyes widened as he recognized the name,"So sorry mister Rich, I'll be right back!'he fled to the back and brought out a third tray and put it down for them both to see. "Ooh daddy you should get this one"Diamond Tiara told her father excitedly. That was all the confirmation Filthy Rich needed that this time the brown stallion was being legit,"Ok I'll take it, what do I owe you?" The clerk began to say a price when he stopped and looked at the little pink filly and decided he shouldn't test her knowledge of values too. He named a price and then informed mister Rich he'd then knock off an additional amount as an apology for his earlier actions. The shop keeper watched them leave with a look of relief and promised himself he'd be more careful in the future not to accidentally label the wrong pony a rube again. "That was amazing Diamond, how do you know so much about this"Filthy Rich asked his daughter pride in his voice. "All those books you get for me dad and some of the books she left behind"Diamond Tiara replied happily. "Well that was a good investment, I mean just look at the great things we came out of there with"He said with a big grin. "Things?"Diamond asked confused,"I thought we only got the one tie clip?" "No we also got something else much more valuable."He said looking down at her his grin splitting his face. Following his gaze she squealed with glee as her eyes caught sight of the cutie mark now adorning her flank. "I'm proud of you Tiara and if she was here now, she would be too"Filthy Rich said as he smiled down at his little girl. ______________________________________________________________________________________ It had seemed like forever before the next day had come and she could go to school and show her new cutie mark to Silver Spoon who had gotten hers the week before. Now she sat there looking at her cutie mark and slowly looked back up coming out of her memories of yesterday. The rest of class was uneventful and as it ended she went around with Silver Spoon by her side and invited everyone to the party her father was throwing her to celebrate her new cutie mark. Catching up with Apple Bloom and Twist she once again started teasing Apple Bloom cruelly with Silver Spoon supporting her. From previous glimpses of expressions that had flitted across Silver Spoon's face Diamond knew that Silver neither liked or understood why they picked on Apple Bloom. But she was Tiara's friend and would back her up whatever she did. Knowing she was causing her best friend to do something she didn't like only caused her more guilt that she responded to the usual way, with more anger. Tiara feeling kinda bad from her teasing again, invited the two to her party, to satisfy the part of her balking at being even a little nice to Apple Bloom, she told herself it was only so she could tease her at the party. Then she went off with Silver Spoon to hang out with her friend for the day. ________________________________________________________________________________________ That night Diamond Tiara lay in bed having trouble going to sleep. She seethed in anger as she thought about how wrong her party had gone wrong. First her father had informed her he couldn't come cause he had been called away to deal with something at work and then everything had turned against her at the party. That feeling of hers had never felt as strong as it did when that orange pegasus and Rarity's little sister had walked off with Apple Bloom and when later she saw Applejack go and keep her sister company too, it was so prevalent that she finally thought she knew what it was and it confused her more. Why with everything she could ever want and a wonderful cutie mark did she feel jealous of Apple Bloom? ________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for the positive feedback, I will get up the next chapter when I can and clean up this one with the tips I've been given.
Chptr 2View OnlineTiaras are ForeverChptr 2The knowledge of what she was feeling didn't help at all. Each day she went to school as she always did and lashed out at others as she always did, the only change was that after school Silver Spoon was not able to hang out as often as she used to. She'd always helped a bit in the family silversmithing business, but now that her cutie mark showed that it was her talent she was no longer just an occasional helper but now an apprentice, which demanded much more of her time. This left Diamond Tiara alone for the most part after school, she'd go home and more often than not, find her father was gone till late in the evening. Alone in the house except for the earth mare her father had hired as a cook and the pegasus maid. Tiara liked Feather Lite, she was nice and always took time to look up from her work and greet Tiara when she came home. The yellow pegasus with a blue mane had been their maid for as long as Tiara could remember and had early on become a friend too. Even though she had a family she was eager to get back to, she always volunteered to stay late if Mister Rich was out and needed someone to watch Tiara. But this was happening more often and neither the mare or filly were too happy, Tiara kept getting more and more depressed as she never seemed to get time with her father or friend, at school she never let it show though, especially to Silver Spoon. She didn't want her friend to feel guilty and knew that her apprenticeship was more important than having time to spend together but it still felt as if everyone was abandoning her. Weeks passed into months till one day she was heading home, she felt a little better today cause it was a special one that she knew her father and her would spend together, they always spent this day together. Entering the house her jaw dropped and she stared in shock at the orange pony standing and talking to her father in the living room. "Oh Tiara! good your home, listen I need to go out something big has come up at work that I have to see to, but Applejack was kind enough to agree to watch you tonight"Filthy told his daughter as Applejack fell quiet and looked over at Tiara. "What about Feather Lite?"she exclaimed, then her eyes opened wider, "What about today! How could you leave me alone today!?" "Tiara settle down, Feather Lite is sick with the feather flu and you know I wouldn't go anywhere today if it wasn't important"answered Rich, his voice pleading with her to understand,"but don't worry Applejack will take good care of you and she brought her sister too so you'll have someone to play with" Tiara's shock couldn't get any worse, she pried her eyes off the two of them and noticed Apple Bloom for the first time, she appeared to be sulking in a corner, obviously not wanting to be there as much as Tiara didn't want her to be there too."What's she doing here!?"Tiara cried out,"I don't want to hang out with her!" "Tiara! behave! she was nice enough to come and you will be civil!"Rich said sternly. "I hate you all!"she shouted and ran up stairs to her room slamming the door. "I'm sorry about that, it's just a hard day for her, she should be better later"Rich assured Applejack "It's awright, I know how it can be sometimes, I'm sure I can handle her and no pony can stay angry at us apples for long, ah'm sure she'll warm up to us by the time you return"AJ said with a reassuring smile. Filthy Rich left and Applejack headed over to the couch, pulling out a book she had in her saddlebags and settled down to a good read, telling Apple Bloom to be good and not touch anything that looked expensive before she fully tuned out. Apple Bloom looked around in annoyance,"everything looks expensieve" she muttered under her breath as she started to explore. She was annoyed, she'd told AJ that Tiara and her didn't get along but her older sister just laughed and said you needed to give every pony a chance. The little yellow filly was bored, she'd already checked out all the rooms down stairs and there was nothing to do, she didn't want to go upstairs in case she ran into Tiara. She didn't know what Tiara had against her, she just knew that the pink filly seemed to go out of her way to be nasty to her. But time passed and desperate for something to do Apple Bloom headed upstairs and quietly started to snoop around checking out rooms. When she came to the one she was pretty sure was Tiara's, she tiphoofed past and was almost completely by it when she thought she heard a noise inside. She shook her head and told herself she had imagined it, after all why would she hear that noise come from Tiara? Having convinced herself it was her imagination she put another hoof forward and froze as she heard it again. Carefully she opened the door and peeked in. It was a nice room with a single bed along the far wall with blankets with Tiara designs all over them. A dresser with pink lamp was beside it with a stack of books. The wall to her left had a book case filled with books much to Apple Bloom's surprise and a set of shelves on the opposite wall held various figurines and objects crafted out of silver. Apple Bloom caught all this in a glance but her attention was drawn to the center of the room, where a pink filly lay with her legs spread out behind her and her head buried in her front Hooves, a book opened up in front of her on the floor. Tiara gave little shudders as she cried silently, a sob or two escaping now and then. Apple Bloom stared not sure what to do, then slowly crept over, looking over at the book she saw that it was a scrap book and the pages were covered with pictures of Tiara, Rich and a pure white unicorn mare with a flowing pink mane. "She's beautiful"Apple Bloom whispered, not even realizing she had spoken. Tiara's head whipped up at the sudden noise and glared at the interloper,"Go away"she muttered but with little real force behind the words as if she didn't really care if they were obeyed or not. Apple Bloom ignored the comment,"who is she?"she asked in a quiet voice. "My mom"Tiara sniffled. Gently so as not to startle the other filly and so Tiara would have a chance to let her know to back off if that's what she wanted, Apple Bloom laid down next to her and hesitantly put her right leg over Tiara's shoulder in a comforting embrace as her own sister had done for her several times before. "I don't remember ever seeing her before"Apple Bloom said gently. "That's cause every time she visited your farm after you were born, you were too young to remember her"Tiara answered absently "It's okay if you don't wanna talk about it, but what happened?" "She got sick, daddy brought in all the best doctors, spared no expense on finding a cure but she just kept getting weaker. She managed to hold on for months always letting me stay by her side, always letting me know how much she loved me and I would be fine, that father loved me too and would take care of me. Finally she almost seemed to be better, then about a month before I started school she passed on."Tiara stared ahead, tears slowly making trails down her cheeks as she thought back. Apple Bloom remained silent, letting the filly next to her say what she wanted, when she felt like it. "I loved her so much, she was always there to show me new things and teach me about life, I remember I used to hang out with her in her work room down the hall where she would show me the latest bits of jewelry she had put together. Before she met dad she'd had a jewelry shop, but after she met him she'd shut it down. In his store they set up a small jewelry section that she could run whenever she felt like it. I was fascinated by what she showed me and was always asking her about every little thing about the pieces she showed me which she was delighted to do. She was always nice to every pony and as far as I know every pony loved her, then she was gone." Tiara buried her head in her hoofs again and cried, Apple Bloom just stayed and held her not daring to make a noise. "She would hate how I treat you"Tiara whispered as she lifted her head again. Apple Bloom was caught so off guard by the comment that she just looked over in quiet surprise. "I hate that I do it, but every time I see you I'm just consumed by jealousy, at first I couldn't figure out why but I think I figured it out, I know you lost your parents, so like me you have no mother. So that should make us kindred spirits, right? but when I lost my mom, I lost every pony I ever felt cared about me, my dad started focusing more on work to distract him from his loss. The hired help although sympathetic are not family and I have no brothers or sisters, I was left alone. Then I'd see you, you may have lost your parents but you stilled had Granny and your older sister and brother. Seeing you and them together, all taking care of each other, I wanted that so bad, it ate me up inside and I'd just feel so angry. I'd lash out at you and say horrible things. I'm sorry Apple Bloom, what I've done is wrong, I know that but I just can't help myself" Apple Bloom listened quietly listening and as Tiara began to cry again and buried her head in Apple Bloom's shoulder, she thought about all she'd heard while the pink unicorn gently cried beside her. "It's okay, I understand and I forgive you"the yellow filly said quietly. Tiara lifted up her head and stared up at Apple Bloom in surprise."you do?'she asked in surprise. "Yeah I do, from now on if you need someone to cry to or listen to you just know that my sister and I will always be there for you if you need us"she said as a smile spread across her face looking down at her past tormentor, "I didn't know you knew about my parents" she said in a more subdued voice. "I heard about what happened from my father, did you know he considered them his best friends?" "I didn't know that"Apple Bloom said in amazement. "He always told me how, besides my mother, they always kept his moral compass straight letting him always remember what is most important in life, he paid for the funeral and head stones, that's why they're custom made, he insisted on the very best for his friends, even in the after life, I wish he was still like that." Tiara sighed sadly. "Wait a minute your dad always seems nice to me." "Nice yes, but he doesn't seem to care anymore, like today he's gone off to work even though he promised me that we'd always go and see mom on the day she died"she said bitterly. "Wait this is the day your mom died! c'mon we gotta go!"Apple Bloom said jumping up. "Go? Where?"Tiara asked confused as she followed Apple Bloom outta her room and downstairs. ___________________________________________________________________________________ hers the next chapter which I believe is an improvement over the previous one, please lmk if you agree, thanks
Chptr 3View OnlineTiaras are ForeverChptr 3"Applejack!"Apple Bloom shouted as she ran down the stairs. AJ had gotten so absorbed in her book, that she fell off the couch in surprise,"What in tarnation! Apple Bloom what is it, is anything wrong?"AJ said getting up quickly and looking around for something amiss. "Yes!"Apple Bloom exclaimed as she stopped at the bottom of the stairs, Tiara arriving a little after and standing behind her."Todays the anniversary of the day her mom died". Applejacks eyes softened and she looked behind Apple Bloom at Tiara,"It is the day Sapphire Tiara passed away isn't it?" she said softly, looking at Tiara apologetically. Tiara nodded hesitantly. "Today her dad was supposed to take her to see her, but he left, we need to take her Applejack"Apple Bloom cried out to her sister. "Whoah, I'm not sure I should be taking her anywhere, her father expects her to be here."AJ explained then looked at Tiara again,"Then again this is important and he shoulda been here to do this for her, ok, c'mon I'll take you". ____________________________________________________________________________________ They made their way through the graveyard path till they reached Tiara's mothers grave, she continued on while the Apples stayed on the path giving her some alone time with her mom. Patiently they waited as they watched Tiara go and sit in front of the grave, they knew she was probably talking but were too far to hear anything. "Go ahead and go, I know you want to. I'll be right here with Tiara the whole time so you'll have nothing to worry about."AJ said smiling down at her sister. "Thanks sis, your the best"Apple Bloom thanked her big sister as she headed off deeper into the cemetary towards where the Apples were buried. AJ watched Tiara for a bit, till she seemed to stop talking and by the way her body shuddered, AJ suspected she was crying. The orange mare made her way up to the grave and sat behind the pink filly and gently put her right leg around Tiara's shoulder. Tiara didn't react but kept on crying. For a time the two just sat there. "I've seen how you act towards my sister and her friends"AJ said softly, Tiara grew quiet and looked up getting kind of tense,"Once or twice I almost came over to give you an earful, but then I'd see it in your eyes, the hurt and confusion. I'd remember how your mother was always so kind to every pony and was hoping with time you'd grow in to that too. I also hesitated as I knew the pain you've been feeling and I know you didn't have many friends or family to turn to. I guess your father has been getting kinda distant, but I want you to know he loves you even if he doesn't show it. He's been hurt a lot and I think he's trying to escape it in his work. It wasn't easy for him, in a single year he lost the love of his life and soon after his two best friends. No pony can go through that untouched, if not for you I think he would of given up on life. So please believe me when I tell you he's not purposefully ignoring you, he just doesn't know how to cope. Just like you have problems coping with others, but you don't have to be alone, if you ever need someone to hold you while you cry or listen to your problems my sister and I will always be there for you. We k now what you've gone through and are still going through and are willing to help."Applejack explained as she looked down at the little filly in her arms. "Why would you do that for me, I've been awful."Tiara sniffed. "Cause I believe you can get better, your not an evil pony Tiara, just confused and lonely, I feel I owe it to your mother for all she's done for me."AJ said honestly "You spent time with my mother?"Tiara asked in surprise. "Yup, Rich and her used to visit our farm twice a week when I was young like you" "Could you tell me about the times you had with her?"Tiara asked hopefully. "Sure could, whenever you want just come on over and I'll tell you all the stores of the times I saw her." AJ said smiling down at her,"come to think of it, if you want stories of your mother you should also go and see Rarity" "Rarity?"Tiara gasped. "Did your parents ever tell you how they met?" "In my dad's shop, she came in and he said that he never had or ever will see anything as beautiful as his first sight of my mother." "Did they ever mention why she was in pony ville?" "It didn't come up." "She was here visiting her sister, Rarity's mother" Tiara sat stunned at this revelation, but as she thought back she thought she did remember her father mentioning that Rarity was her cousin, it just hadn't registered in her what that meant."So Rarity spent time with my mother?"she asked. "Spent time! that's an understatement, Rarity idolized your mother, spending as much time as she could with her. Your mother's the one who taught her how to be like she is today I think, if you've seen her parents you know she didn't learn or model her attitude and manners after them."AJ laughed. "I never thought about that before, thank you Applejack, for everything, I think I will go see her soon. I'll come over to your farm soon also, I really wanna here about my mom."Tiara said eagerly. "Well alright then, if your finished here lets go and get my little sister, while we walk I'll tell you about the time your mom threw a pie in your dads face"Applejack said with a snicker as she got up and helped the pink filly to her hooves. ______________________________________________________________________________________ kind of a short chapter but I'm coming to the end. The next chapter should be the last and I hope to have it up by tomorrow evening, then I can get to the next story that's been floating through my mind and distracting me.
Chptr 4View OnlineTiaras are ForeverChptr 4The next day at school, Tiara seemed like her same old self, better than everypony around her attitude, but there was something different about her that her classmates couldn't quite put a hoof on. Maybe that her comments lacked the underlying insults like usual some started to think to themselves. At recess Tiara and Silver Spoon were walking along and chatting, when up ahead the cutie mark crusaders rounded a corner and were headed right towards them. As they got closer Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo tensed up, dreading the approaching duo. They both stopped in surprise and were left mouth's hanging open as Tiara just kept going pass them without saying anything. Silver Spoon had to speed up as she had been caught by surprise too, when her friend didn't stop as she had expected her to. "What just happened?"Sweetie Belle asked her friends in surprise. "Nothing worth worrying about",Apple Bloom said,"c'mon are we gonna go and get are tree climbing cutie marks or not?"she shouted running towards some trees on the edge of the schoolyard. Her friends looked at each other, then shrugged and ran after her. When she thought Tiara wasn't looking, Silver Spoon looked over and gave her friend a proud smile. Tiara did see it though and seeing how much Silver Spoon had dreaded all their teasing activities, she promised herself she'd never force her friend into doing something she wasn't comfortable with again. ____________________________________________________________________________ A week had gone by since she had visited her mother with the Apples, since then she had visited Applejack twice to hang out and hear stories of her mother's visits to the Apple farm. The time spent there was nice but she longed for more so here she was standing nervously in front of Rarity's boutique working up the courage to go in. Finally she took a deep breath and marched up to the front door and knocked. "I'm open, c'mon in!"a voice shouted from inside. Tiara opened the door and carefully made her way to the main room where she saw Rarity telekinetically rearranging ribbons on a dress. As Tiara entered she finished and looked up to see who had come in,"Oh! hi there your............Diamond Tiara right?"at Tiara's nod Rarity continued,"I'm sorry but Sweetie Belle isn't here right now, she's off crusading with her friends but I can let her know you stopped by". "I didn't come to see Sweetie Belle, I came to see you."Tiara said in a hesitant voice. "Me?"Rarity asked in confusion. "Yeah, I was hoping you could tell me about your time with my mother"Tiara said, a little more confidence in her voice. "Your mother, that would be Sapphire Tiara right?"Rarity said as her voice softened as she looked down and saw the pink filly nod her head in the affirmative. "What do you want to know?" "Maybe you could start with how you met her."Tiara said hopefully. "Yes I suppose the beginning would be a good place to start, I remember it clearly the first time I saw her, she had come down from Manehattan for a week to visit her sister, my mother. I'd never seen a pony before with such..........class, I immediately knew this had been what I'd always wanted to be like. I'd always rebelled against my parents and their ways but didn't know why. Looking at her though, the graceful way she walked, the polite and sophisticated way she talked, It was a revelation to me and I knew this was what a pony should aspire to be. After that I followed her all over and she was so kind, instead of being put off and trying to get me to give her time to be alone, she would encourage me and seemed delighted to spend time with me. I asked her all about high class live and what it was like and she would tell me in that wonderfully sweet voice of hers. For hours with her and on my own, I'd practice my enunciation and we'd both get excited together whenever I pronounced the words perfectly". Rarity stopped for a minute smiling fondly at the memories,"about a week after she showed up, she'd been asked by my parents and I to stay longer and had happily agreed, I soon found I had competition for your mother's attention. Filthy Rich had seen her at his store and had immediately fallen in love, he constantly stopped by and courted my aunt. Soon the both of us were fighting for her attention and although it sometimes got intense, we never resented each other and knew that our little back and forth plots were all just harmless pranks without any actual malicious or hated intent towards each other. I think that's why your aunt never put a stop to it, she of course could tell what we were both doing and I think she thought it was cute."Rarity was chuckling to herself and Tiara found herself smiling too. "Eventually Rich got a little ahead of me when Sapphire accepted his proposal. It was a wonderful wedding, your mother was absolutely radiant in her wedding dress, they had already decided they would live in pony ville so I was able to visit her whenever I wanted. He may of been her husband but I was there so often that I felt like I was more her daughter than my actual mothers, we would talk and I'd show her my dress ideas and she'd excitedly show me what jewels and accessories would look good with them. Rich was more than satisfied to let our affection competition continue, I later found out that besides him of course liking me too, treating almost like a daughter, there was another reason he was glad I still spent as much time as possible with his wife. He loved to see her happy but unknown to me Sapphire always wanted a filly of her own and as Rich and her tried often to get one there seemed to be something wrong and she started feeling depressed wondering if she would ever have a daughter of her own. I was kind of a substitute daughter and always brought joy to her, even if I had known that I would have felt no different not caring why she loved to spend time with me, just loving that she did. So your father was more than happy to let me compete for her attention, but when you came along we both didn't have a chance anymore."Rarity paused for a moment looking down at her attentive audience and smiled. "As soon as she knew she was pregnant her and Rich came over and told my parents and I, she was so excited, she was practically jumping around the room. The following weeks your father and I doted on her as she got bigger and bigger. When you were finally born you could see her in eyes her dreams had been achieved, she always called you her miracle and I have yet to see a mare that loved her filly more. At first I'd still come over but more of her attention was focused on you till she didn't have much time for me anymore. I felt some resentment but for the most part I couldn't be too upset as loved to see how happy she was and I was soon busy too as that year I opened shop on my boutique, your father as a birthday gift and thank you for all I'd done for his wife helped me pay the down payment on this building"Rarity was smiling as she recounted it all but a slight sadness crept into her voice. "I still saw your mother now and then but only a few times a week, she promised that we could see each other more when you started school but then she got sick. Well I'll skip over that we both lost a great pony that day and I know she'll never be forgotten."Rarity finished. "Thank you Rarity, I never knew that much about my mom before she had me, would you mind if I came by tomorrow and hear more about her? I'd like to hear about the contest between you and my dad and about what my mom taught you"Tiara asked hopefully. "Of course darling, I'd always have time for her daughter, come over whenever you want". ______________________________________________________________________________ Days became weeks and weeks months, Tiara was seen constantly together as the older pony would tell her stories and they would both work on Rarity's latest designs, Tiara helping with the accessories and advice on appearance. The two quickly seemed as if they had always been the closest of sisters. Tiara was happy and content, no longer needing to lash out at others and feeling a complete sense of completeness with her world that she knew would never end. The End ________________________________________________________________________________ well that finishes it, I hope you liked it. I'll try to fix up the first chapter later on but for now I;m busy getting another story out of my head, one I hope will be my best. If people request it of me in the future I might come back and continue this story, there's a little more I could do concerning Sweetie Belle and how she might feel with how Tiara seems to have taken up her spot as Rarity's sister. So lmk if any of you want me to pursue that later on and please lmk what you liked and didn't like about my story, thanks.
