letter from Twilight sparkle

As I remember she stood up for me, when the other fillies were teasing me because of my British ascent. I remember the words of tease.

"good moron there chaps" i said. everyone turned around and laughed.

" hahahaha, diamond, diamond, is so posh, he can even spell upper cross!"
The words were repeated relentlessly. I heard a angry voice just across the play ground.

" Hey! Now that's not very nice, what happened to love and tolerance? And better yet, kindness to everypony!?" She said in furious tone.

One of the fillies stood up. She looked nearly as stuck up as diamond tiara as she wasn't born yet of cause. I remember meeting diamond tiara when I bumped in to Filthy rich. A few weeks ago when i was in ponyville to help with the zap apples on sweet apple Acres.

" OH! And what are you going to do about it huh?" She replied in a snotty tone.

Eternal was furious and shouted as everypony could hear even miss Cheerilee.

" How dear you be nasty to this nice, charming colt, he hasn't done anything wrong to you. So... leave..! Him..! Alone!!!"

As Eternal finished, the other ponies stepped back with fright and miss cheerilee came out quickly and called everypony in. Diamond tiara always had far to much to say for her age, as this filly was just like her. But she soon shut up when Eternal finished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My life wasn't very existing as it always had the same routine. Got up, shower, dressed in my light blue tux and went to work.
got home, went to the kitchen for a snack then I'd go to the other room and sit on my big throne chair and read fan fictions till I felt it was time for sleep. My job was working as a doctor in Canterlot. Which I enjoyed being a doctor saving any pony in need of my help. I felt so empty like that job wasn't right for me. i have always wanted to work on a farm. Yes, a farm. I may be an up-class pony who wears fabulous tuxes and attends royal meet-ups but I enjoyed hard work. One day after a hard days work after saving some pony who suffered blood forced trauma to the head. There was a knock at the door. I raised an eye brow in confusion. Wondering who it could be knocking on my door as I never get any visitors at all. I put my little smart book down while I was in the middle of reading chapter three of "Answers." I made my way to the door I felt quite worried.

" I never have visitors I wonder who this could be." i said with worry on my face.

The knock grew louder and I got scared. "One moment I'm coming." I shouted.

I live on the out skirts on Canterlot you don't meet many ponies as I only know one pony who lives on a cottage called Eternal inspiration. I didn't know her personally, I have heard of her around on my travels. I opened the door to find the princess. Yes thy princess Celestia at my door. I looked up at the alicorn standing before me with two guards each side of her. My mouth dropped in shock. My heart beating in fear as I seen them two. I never done anything wrong but they still gave me the willies.

I thought to my self. "Princess Celestia I wonder why-."

My thoughts were stopped as she spoke.

"Hello, Diamond Brit. May I come in?" The princess asked. My face brought to a smile.

"Of cause my dear, um... I mean princess... Sorry." I said in fright. My heart skipped its beat as I thought I dishonoured the princess.

"Thank you Diamond." Said the princess with a smile as she entered.

She walked in with her two guards behind her the one on the left gave me this evil look. I lifted my eye brew in confusion once again.

"What did I do wrong to be given that look." Diamond whispered to himself.
I was loud enough for the guard to hear and He turned around.

" Excuse me? You got something to say!" Said the guard with an angry look on his face.
He got up in my face and growled. He was about to press me down to the ground but the princess saw and spoke.

" Banging armor get here now!!" The princess said in a angry tone.

The guard bit his lip and turned around to put his head down and slowly make his way to the princess. Me and the other guard smiled and chuckled. The princess looked at the other guard with an angry duck face look. He soon shut up and I did too. This was the first time I ever heard the princess rise her voice. I was quite scared. I sweating like mad. I always thought of the princes as a gentle soul but as every pony says" you can't judge a book by its cover or is this case, don't judge a princess by her smile, there mite be something dark and scary underneath.

The princess spoke."I am disappointed in you Banging armor, go back to the castle and stay there I have a lot to think about."

"Ouch" I thought to my self. "That must sting."

The guard passed by me, he said nothing. I could see a tear forcing down his cheek I could only grieve for him. He left and the door banged behind the guard. The princess looked at me with a smile again. I was scared for a moment. her gentle voice as she spoke took my fear away.

" sorry about that Diamond." The princess said with a smile.

"It's quite alright princess, what's going to happen to Banging armor?" I replied. My face was a bit sad, I felt sorry for him.

" I don't know I have a lot to think about with him but enough off that. I have something important for you diamond." Said the princess as she used her magical horn She brought me a letter wrapped in what looks like a carefully done seal.
She was levitating in front of me and In dropped in my hooves and I began to read it.

dear Diamond brit.

I was about the read the rest of the letter but The princess spoke and I moved the letter down to look at the princess.
"Diamond I want you to go to Ponyville and work on sweet apple acres. I hear your a hard working colt and I ask if you would do this for me." I looked at the princess with no thoughts but a smile.

"Of cause princess as I'd really love to work at sweet apple acres. I hear Ponyville is a nice place with friendly ponies."
That last bit gave me a bigger smile as I thought about it. "friendly ponies. I haven't had a friend in a long time. i frowned at the thought i didn't have any friends. The princess spoke "so, again Diamond. would you like to work on sweet apple acres? the princess said with a smile.

"Wow Ponyville on sweet apple acres, finally i can work on a farm and put my hardworking skills to the test how delightful all this sounds."

The princess gave a smile and spoke. "Well diamond here are two choices, you can work at sweet apple acres or help in fashion shop called carousel boutique." I didn't know what to say there all sounded wonderful I wondered if I could try both off them.

" Would it be okay to try both princess?" I asked with hoping the answer would be a yes.

The princess gave a frown and spoke. "I'm sorry Diamond you can only choice one."

I thought really hard about this "Hmm sweet apple acres or Carousel boutique." I said with my hoof on my chin thinking really hard which one i would suit. I made up my mind and spoke my last words about the subject.

"princess I'd love to go to sweet apple acres." I said with the biggest smile on my face.

The princess smiled and spoke. "splendid diamond, i thought you would choose sweet apple acres. I have already sent a letter to the apple family of your arrival."

I was full of excitement and joy I couldn't believe it "Wow thank you princess."

The princess gave only a smile and gave her leave with her guard beside her. "Here princess let me open that for you" I said. I used my magic to open the door and she took her leave with these last few words. "You best get packing diamond they will see be expecting you there at 6AM sharp."

"yes will do princess and thank you again." I replied.

she hopped in to her big carrier and her two shofers flew her back to the palace.
I closed the door and levitated the note to read the rest of it.

As you know the zap apples are coming very soon and the princess had told me about your amazing work on farms. I ask you to come and help at sweet apple acres. i do hope you say yes. The princess has asked you personally to help with the zap apples We will have a party for you in ponyville when you arrive since your new. You will be staying with me in my house for the time being. Be in ponyville at 6AM sharp I will be expecting you there.

Twilight sparkle.
