We’ve all had a bully once in our lives, we never fully know the reason as to why they constantly mock, beat or berate us when we’ve done nothing to them. But they never care about our feelings, they find our sorrow and pleas to stop hilarious to feed their violent urges. Most say they act like this only for attention and to show off especially if they come from a rich family, or as a way to relieve stress due to constant abuse from a family member, or some did it cause they enjoyed watching others suffer like a sociopath, whom holds no regards for anyone’s feelings. Bullies can come in any form whether it’d be a kid, teenager, college student, or even a grown adult. Anybody can run into a bully, and many times, there’s no escaping them regardless of how much you tell on them or try your hardest to ignore them. And 30% of the time, they never learn from their mistakes. And I’m sorry to say, but this would eventually lead to karma catching up on the tormentor at some point when one of their acts goes way too far.

Inside the main office of Ponyvilles school house, we find one of the more well known teachers in the building Miss Cheerilee, alongside the principle of said school Mr Shephard whom was sitting at his desk with a stern expression written all over his face. Also in the room was a yellow furred filly with a red bow whom was also pressing a tourniquet on her bleeding forehead, her older siblings and her grandmother were also present as well alongside a silver furred filly with glasses, the other pony who was present in the room was one of the richest citizens in town, Filthy rich alongside his wife Seline and butler Chives.

All sixteen eyes in the room glared at a certain pink furred filly whom donned an expensive looking tiara, this filly was the main reason as to why this meeting was transpiring in the first place. Having been the cause of the farmgirls head injury an hour ago, the rich filly knew that she was in some deep trouble this time. The filly let out a nervous gulp as she waited for any of the adults in the room to say anything, after what seemed like an eternity, she finally got a response. But it wasn't a good one I'll tell ya'll that much............................................

"Unbelievable Diamond Tiara, just unbelievable!" Principle Shephard said. " You've done a lot of things these past few years, but this just takes the cake, pardon my language, but what in the hell made you think throwing a mudball with a stone the size of a golfball inside at poor Apple bloom was a good idea? What were you thinking?!" The filly was hesitant to respond at first, but soon came up with a lie in an attempt to get out of this.

"It was an honest mistake Principle Shephard" She replied trying her hardest to sound as innocent as possible. " I was just playing an innocent prank on Apple bloom, I didn't know there was a rock in ..........................

"She's lying Principle Shephard!!!" Bloom interrupted. " Tiara knew dang well there was a rock in there"

"Where's your proof?!" Tiara fought back.

"Your my proof dummy when you said and I quote " How did that rock taste Apple Hick?" Bloom protested which earned her gasps of shock from her family at the fact that Tiara had the nerve to speak to the filly like that.

"I said no such thing, stop lying ya blank flank!!!" Tiara shouted.

"Enough!!!!" Cheerilee screamed, which shut both girls up. " It seems that ya forgot the one golden oath about the Apple family Diamond Tiara, "never tell a lie" and for all my time with Apple bloom, she has never once lied to my face unlike you. And we do have proof that ya purposely put that rock inside that mudball before throwing it at her, what you also didn't know was that her friend Snails was in the same area playing catch with Scootaloo and he just so happened to catch a glimpse of you placing the rock inside said mudball with a devious grin written all over your face"

"Really Miss Cheerilee?" Tiara replied. " Your serious gonna believe the one colt who got his cutiemark from playing with the insect that he was literally named after?"

"Enough" Principle Shephard jumped in. " First off Snails aren't insects, they're mammals, and second of all Snails might not be the star student in school, but he is just as trustworthy as Apple bloom, and Sweetie belle would agree as well. And now I ask ya again young lady, what in the world drove you to do that to poor Apple bloom?"

"She had it coming!" Tiara debated. " That blank flank bumped into me and made me drop my Tiara in the hallway, look at the damage that pleb did to it!!!" She then presented her "damaged" diamond head wear to the adults in the room, each of them took a closer look at the tiara , but went blank faced when they saw the "damage" that she was ranting about.

"That's it young lady?" Filthy Rich said unmoved. " That tiny little dent is what your rambling about?"

"Of course daddy!" Tiara replied. " Do you have any idea how expensive this thing is? And that blank flank had the nerve to rudely bump into me and cause me to drop it, do you know how expensive repairs for this will be?!"

"First of, I didn't bump into you on purpose, it was an accident!" Bloom jumped in. "And second, I said I was sorry miss temper tantrum"

"Shut your face you Bla.............................

"You shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!" Big Mac shouted slightly scaring the rich filly as it was rare for Blooms older brother to speak in full sentences. " If ya'll call my sister a blank flank one more time you'll regret it!!!!"

"Oh so now ya wanna talk musclehead?" Tiara shot back earning a death glare from the stallion.

"Don't you talk to my grandson like that......................

"SILENCE!!!!!!!!" Principle Shephard boomed quieting down the entire room. " I don't need this turning into a warzone"

"Yes sir, my apologies" Big Mac replied, and then turned towards the couple. " I'm sorry to you too Mr and Mrs Rich"

"It's fine kid" He said, and then he and his wife shot a glare at the filly. " We don't blame ya'll one bit. Please continue Miss Cheerilee and Principle Shephard.

"Thank you Mr Rich" Cheerilee replied. " The fact of the matter is Tiara, you went way too far this time. Ever since you've showed up in my class you've been nothing but trouble. You mock your classmates who don't have cutie marks, you flaunt and show off your wealth the first chance ya get especially to those below you, you barely pay attention to my lectures, and you also pull nasty pranks on others. Do I have to remind you that poor Dinky had to go to therapy sessions for 2 weeks after you dropped that bucket full of spiders on her during last years schoolhouse Nightmare night party when you knew that she has a tramatic fear of them? But what you did to bloom and hour ago, this just crosses the line, there is no letting it slide this time young lady"

"But, Miss Cheerilee" Tiara defended. " My Tiara means everything to me, it's practically my trademark, if you were in my shoes and one of your most prized possessions got destroyed, you'd probably feel the same too. Silver spoon back me up here, you agree with me don't ya?" Tiara waited patiently for a response from her best friend/ lackey, and soon got a response which wasn't what she was hoping for.

"No Tiara" Silver spoon replied earning a gasp from the light pink filly. " Miss Cheerilee is right, you went way too far. You could have given Bloom either a concussion or worse killed her. These two ponies already lost their parents, how do you think they would have felt if they lost their little sister as well ? I've hung out with you as I felt it was only right to hang with another rich kid, but after seeing you now, I must have been pretty blind to believe that you were my friend. All those acts you forced me into secretly disgusted me. I should have just ditched you from the start, I know it'll take a while for me to make up for all the horrible acts I was forced to participate in. But I am no longer gonna be your lapdog and hurt the innocents just because they're not as rich or have cutiemarks yet, you went too far Tiara, way too far"

Tiara was in utter shock at what she just heard, her best friend since day one, wasn't defending her. But instead she was taking the side of the farm girl, who was just as surprised to hear those kind of words come out of Silvers mouth.

A thankful smile formed on the fillies face after hearing Silver spoons response . " Thanks Silver spoon, I appreciate that partner" This earned her an embarrassed blush from the rich filly.

"Wise words silver spoon, wise words " Principle Shephard said proudly. " Since you took no part in this latest scheme of your now former friend, you shall not be punished" He then turned his attention back towards Tiara. " As for you Tiara, like Cheerilee said, you went way too far this time young lady. And I'm afraid you'll have to face the consequences for your actions...............................one month suspension with your schoolwork being sent to you" The filly gasped in horror at the punishment that she was given.

"One month suspension?!" She shouted in disbelief. " But the field trip to Princess Celestia's castle is next Friday, I'll miss it!!!!!"

"Well you should have thought about that before bullying poor Apple bloom and her friends" Cheerilee shot back. " You should consider yourself very lucky Tiara, cause with what you did, your little butt would have been in juvenile hall for the exact same time as your suspension. So be grateful that we're going easy on ya and that the Apple family aren't pressing charges" Tiara's face turned a burning red and was about to explode until Cheerilee put out the fuse. " I wouldn't recommend going off Tiara, less you want to be suspended for 2 months instead?" Hearing this, Tiara calmed down slightly and just grit her teeth in silent frustration. "That's what I thought"

"We're finished here, thank you all for coming, and sorry again about all this Ms Smith" Principle Shephard said.

"No worries sir" Granny smith said, and then ushered her grandchildren to come along. " Come on Bloom, lets take ya'll to Doctor Stables office to take care of that wound" The entire apple family shot daggers at the rich filly for one last time before leaving the room, Silver spoon followed suit as well, also glaring coldly at her former friend. Tiara remained unfazed however , as she now viewed Silver spoon as a traitor for not having her back.

"Seline, you and Chives take Tiara home, I gotta get back to work" Filthy Rich said. " And don't worry about punishing her" Tiara couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief at her fathers response, but it wouldn't last long. " I'll be the one to give Tiara her punishment, personally" Diamond Tiara let out a gulp as her relief expression changed.

"Yes Honey" Seline replied as she and Chives began to drag Tiara out of the room.

"As you wish sir" Chives said, and soon he, Seline and Tiara exited the room. Both look just as disappointed at the filly as they escorted her throughout the hallway straight back to their mansion.

"I'm very disappointed in you young lady" Seline said in a furious tone with chives nodding in unison.

"Like I care about what you think, your just my stepmother" Tiara said in her head as she was being dragged away out of the scene.

Later that afternoon

Inside the manor of the Rich household, we find the little troublemaker herself, Diamond Tiara sulking inside her bedroom after the scolding she received from her father the second he got home . And delivered his promise to personally punish her the second he got off work, The filly sulked more and more at the punishments she was given, not just her one month suspension, but she was also grounded for the same period of time and worst of all, got her signature Tiara confiscated and replaced with a red bow. Which disgusted the filly to the core as it resembled the exact same one her rival wore.

The filly didn't even bother crying or ranting as it wouldn't have done much to help her case, plus it would have gotten her grounded longer if she even complained once. So the rich filly accepted defeat and chose to just sulk in her room and wait for her punishments to be over. But that didn't stop her anger from going away, the filly continued to sulk and toss and turn in her bed in silent frustration at the events from a few hours ago. With her former friend siding against her and taking Blooms side instead, and her father and stepmother for not showing sympathy for her damaged tiara. She viewed each and every one of them as traitors, especially Silver spoon.

The filly ran her hoof down her face in silent frustration, even though she was only a day in for her punishment. It felt like an eternity for the young girl as she silently prayed for all this to be over so that she could have her tiara back and hopefully repaired, to be able to have an allowance again to buy the latest expensive toys or dresses, and more importantly for Silver spoon to see the error of her ways and to beg her to take her back as her friend. But this was unlikely as the light pink filly heard a sound coming from her window, which sounded like the sounds of kids playing. At first she brushed it off as she knew one of the local playgrounds was only a block away from her families mansion, but her curiosity got the better of her as the sounds of laughter were suspiciously familiar.

The rich filly took a peek out her bedroom window, and to her shock and surprise. There stood non other than her former friend Silver spoon playing catch with non other the Cutie Mark Crusaders themselves, Sweetie belle, Scootaloo, and Apple bloom ( who's head injury was now all bandaged up). The four fillies seemed to be enjoying themselves much to the rich girls shock as her jaw dropped at the sight. She was about to silently react to the scene until she heard the group speak.

"Nice catch Silver spoon!" Sweetie belle Called out.

" Hehe thanks Sweetie belle" Silver spoon replied with a hint of gratitude. " And thanks for letting me play catch with you guys, I'm surprised you would even invite me after everything we've been through"

"Hey no sweat" Scootaloo said. " After you defended Bloom a few hours ago, you don't really seem like a bad pony, you were just hanging with the wrong crowd" This statement cause Tiara to let out a growl. " Besides anybody who defends my friends is alright in my book, and I'm sure Rainbow dash would agree with me as well"

"A smile of gratitude formed on the fillies face after hearing her classmates response." Thanks Scootaloo, there's no doubt in my mind that you guys will get your cutiemarks soon" Hearing this brought smiles to the trio's faces. " Do you think we could maybe..............start over and be friends?"

"We'd like that very much partner" Bloom replied with a nod.

"Welcome to the good side Spoons" Scootaloo said and gave her new friend a hoofbump to which she politely returned.

"Thanks guys" She said, and then proceeded to go along. " Anyways, pass it over here Sweetie belle!"

"Alrighty, go along buddy!" Sweetie belle chanted and then tossed the ball over to her new friend. As the former enemies now friends continued to play their game of catch, Diamond tiara continued to watch on, practically biting down on her window curtains in frustration as she began to shake violently fighting the urge to scream out in righteous fury.

"She gets me suspended" She began. " She gets me grounded for a month, she cost me the greatest field trip ever, and now she turns my best friend against me?!" As she continued to rant to herself , the retinas in her eyes began to turn a red color, with a demonic hue to them as well. " That will simply not stand, If I had known you would take so much away from me, then i would have used a much bigger rock on you, ya stupid blank flank! Apple bloom.........................................I'm gonna make you suffer"

Later that night

With midnight approaching, the filly quietly and stealthfully opens her bedroom door as she made her way out into the open with a small saddle bag in hoof, she took a second to survey the hallway to see if her parents and butler turned in for the night before quietly closing her door. As she tiptoes down the hall towards the stairs, she takes a second to take a peek inside her father and stepmothers bedroom to find the couple fast asleep much to the fillies relief, as she quietly steps downstairs, she also finds Chives fast asleep in his room as well. Knowing that the coast was clear, the filly made her way towards her father’s private study which she was forbidden from playing in or entering. And to her luck, Filthy rich forgot to lock it up which only made her mission much more easy.

As she stepped inside her fathers little private quarters, passing by every nook and cranny, she soon came across what she was looking for, which just so happened to be her fathers collection of some of the most expensive wines, champagne, and various other alcoholic beverages across Equestria. Her eyes looked around the various bottles that were right in front of her, looking for the one with the strongest alcohol content in it. And what caught her eye was the bottle which read “Beowulf” Which just so happened to be of easy reach for her. Finding what she was looking for, the filly carefully grabbed the bottle off of the large shelf surveying it slightly.

“He has a thousand of these” She thought . “ He won’t notice one missing” She then placed the bottle inside her saddle bag but not before grabbing a lighter the stallion uses for his pipe, and a small washcloth off the same shelf, Tiara finally and quietly exits the room with her tools in hoof as she quietly shuts the door as to not wake Chives up. After double checking to see if the coast was still clear, the filly made her way towards the back door, ready to head towards her desired destination.

It was almost 1am by the time the filly reached her destination, which just so happened to be the home of the one filly whom “ruined” her life yesterday and took everything from her. Sweet apple Acres is what it’s called, well renowned the entire community with supplying the town with the freshest apples and apple products this side of Equestria, which Tiara’s father helped fund as well. But I’m sorry to say that this wasn’t gonna last long as the filly had a plan up her sleeve for the entire Apple family. Her gaze was set upon an open window near the front entrance of the house which only made her plan even easier.

She quietly stepped inside the open window , trying to be as stealthy as possible. soon she was inside the house and took a quick glance to see if the coast was clear, and luckily it was. The filly made her way towards the kitchen area , her desired destination. Diamond tiara then took the bottle of alcohol and the washcloth, she proceeded to take the cork out of the bottle, luckily it was one of those pop off ones which didn’t require a corkscrew to get off which only made this easier and easier for the filly. With the cork off, she placed the edge of the washcloth in the nozzle before taking out the lighter and igniting the edge of the cloth.

A wicked smile formed on the fillies face as she looked at her reflection on the bottle before tossing it towards the stove, the bottle shattered instantly as the contents spilled out as flames began to ignite while the filly watched on in amusement as the kitchen began to ignite and spread in a barrage of flames, eventually leading towards the wooden table which ignited in seconds. The rich filly continued to watch on as the flames grew bigger and bigger until they eventually made their way towards other areas of the house, her wicked smile grew bigger and bigger at the sight, with her retinas turning back to the color red like they did hours ago. And the flames that surround the filly gave off demonic vibes to her demeanor as she showed the least bit worry and concern of what she has did, a small chuckle escaped her mouth as she took her exit out the same window she crawled in through.

The filly soon made her way outside as she watched the home of the apple family ignite on a roaring inferno, her demonic demeanor remained unchanged as she continued to survey the burning building as another evil chuckle exited her mouth “ You take my friend from me, so now I take your home from ya, you blank flank” That was the last thing the filly said before making her way back home before everyone woke up, just as the sounds of sirens could be heard , echoing in the distance.

The next morning

A large crowd of ponies were gathered around the soldering and charred remains of where the apple family residence once stood, everyone was in a sate of shock at the sight of the apple family home burned to a crisp as each and everyone of them wondered how something like this could have possibly happened. Luckily Apple bloom and the rest of the family managed to make it out of there before the fire spread any further. Speaking of the Apple family, the siblings along with the matriarch were devastated at the sight of their charred home, and with Winona sleeping outside, she managed to make it out safely as well and even rushed into town to get help. But by the time the family evacuated and the fire department arrived , the house was already burned down to the ground.

Each and every one of their possessions, family photo's, and worst of all, the money from all their apple product sells was gone. The family had no idea what they were going to do as they had no home or money to provide them, meaning that they'll either have to resort to staying at one of the elements house or be forced to move back to their hometown of Applepaloosa. Granny Smith felt the worst of them all, as the one house where she herself was born in, and where she also raised her son Bright Mac, was gone along with all the memories they all shared. As the family continued to sob at the sight of their burnt home with Twilight and the others, alongside the townsfolk comforting them, the main perpetrator behind the fire Diamond Tiara can be seen secretly surveying the sobbing family from afar, silently gloating at the sight of her work.

All while silently praising herself on a job well done before making her way back home, her revenge complete. While her punishments still stood, the fact that she made her rival suffer for getting her in trouble made the sociopathic filly feel a little better, but this will soon lead to her downfall.

We now cut back to the Rich manor as The matriarch, along with his wife, daughter, and butler were sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast that was prepared by Chives himself. Diamond Tiara felt a sign of relief at the fact that neither of them suspected anything. as she finished her meal, she grabbed her plate and cup to bring it into the kitchen. Noticing her fathers plate and cup empty as well, she acted as innocent as possible and grabbed it for him. " Here daddy, I'll get that for you"

"Thank you sweetheart" Filthy rich replied. " Keep this up and your grounding will be over before you know it" A devious smile formed on the fillies face as her retinas secretly changed colors for the third time.

"I cant wait" She replied in a bit of a devious tone. Suddenly the doorbell could be heard earning the groups attention, Chives was about to get up until Rich stopped him.

"I'll get it Chives, you go ahead and keep on eating" He replied earning a nod of gratitude from his butler. The rich matriarch made his way towards the front door wondering who that could possibly be at this early in the morning? As he reached the front door , he would soon find his answer as he unlocked and opened the door to find a pair of officers waiting for on on the other side. The stallion was in complete shock as he wondered why there were two police officers at his home? " Officers?................Is there a problem?"

"Good morning Mr Rich" The first officer said. "We're sorry to bother you this early, but could you step outside for a second, we have something to discuss with you"

"Uh......of course officer" The stallion replied nervously, and then stepped outside and shut the door , not wanting his wife or daughter to hear any of this. " So what is it you two wanted to talk to em about?" After a short silence, one of the officers spoke.

"Mr Rich" The second officer began. " Are you aware of the fire that transpired at the Apple family residence last night?"

"Yes of course" Mr rich replied. " It's such a tragedy that something like that would happen to that poor family, did you manage to find the cause of the fire? Also more importantly, why are you laying this onto me?"

"To answer your question Mr Rich" The first officer replied. " An hour ago after the charred structure was clear to scope around, me and my partner here began digging up any signs of evidence to find the source as to why the house burned down. And we just so happened to find the cause of it all, in the remains of the kitchen area to be ironically precise. As we suspected the rubble, we happened to come across the remains of what used to be a bottle of expensive alcohol along with the remains of a white wash cloth"

Filthy Rich was stunned at what he was hearing. " Wait, alcohol, washcloth, but that would mean..................................

"Yes" The first officer interrupted. " This was an act of arsony Mr Rich, and speaking of which, we happened to take a glimpse of the name of said beverage that was used as a molotov cocktail, which read "beowulf" And it just so happens to be one of the most expensive and most flammable vodkas in Equestria, and given that the apple family doesn't hold any alcoholic beverages in their kitchen. And you just so happened to have a collection of some of the most expensive drinks in Equestria, with Beowulf being one of them, we just so happened to come across.........................

"Wait hold on!" Rich interrupted. " You can't honestly be suspecting me of burning down their house?! Granny smith has been like a mother to be, hell she and her grandkids treated me like family. She the one who even got me this house in the first place!!! I would never have a reason to try and murder them, they're good ponies................"

"No one's accusing you sir" The second officer stopped him. " But what we're about to tell you does have an impact on your family, when we took the remains of the beowulf bottle back to the station for examination. We managed to scan the remains for hoofprints, and I'm sorry to say this Mr Rich...................................................but the hoofprints belong to your daughter" Filthy Riches jaw dropped at the officers accusations, with the hoofprints matching his daughters, the man didn't want to believe his daughter would have done something so cruel , despite the fact that she was pissed at Apple bloom for getting her in trouble. As he was about to defend his daughter, the officer once again stopped him in his tracks. " Before you say anything sir, I know this is hard to believe, but I'm sorry to say that the evidence leads to your daughter"

"We also came across an eye witness, whom goes by the name of Bulk Biceps" The second officer said. " He claimed to have spotted a filly last night while he was out for his late night jog, and the pegasus claimed that the filly shared the same fur color, mane color, and red bow your daughter is wearing, with a small saddlebag with the Beowulf bottle poking out of it slightly. I know this is hard to believe Mr Rich, but all evidence points towards your daughter, and we just so happened to have also recovered the remains of the washcloth that was used for igniting the molotov, which just so happened to have a name engraved on it" The officer then presented the remains of the washcloth to the stallion. " Is this your signature sir?"

The stallions eyes widened in complete shock, as that was his signature engraved onto the washcloth. And he instantly recognized it as his lucky washcloth that he kept in his private study whenever he spilled something or needed to blow his nose. The rich stallion felt himself lose his balance as he leaned back towards the door in utter disbelief at the thought of his daughter doing something so........................evil. " Tiara.................What the hell did you do?"

"I know this is a lot to take in Mr Rich, and I don't blame you" The first officer said. " But I'm sorry to say this, but your daughter is under arrest" The stallion was in complete shock after hearing this.

"What?!" He replied. " No please, she's only 8 years old!!!"

"And yet she almost killed an innocent filly and her family" The second officer said. " Regardless of her age, this is a very serious crime Mr Rich, and your daughter has to face the consequences of her actions"

"I know ...............but listen, there's no need for that" Mr rich replied. " Let me be the one to punish her"

"Beg pardon sir" The first officer jumped in. " But that kids been punished by not just you but her teacher dozens of times but never learns from her mistakes, and this wasn't even the first time we've had to inform you on one of the acts she's committed, despite most of them being pranks pulled on her classmates or stealing a toy from a store"

"I know, I know" Filthy Rich assured. " But please, this time will be different. Just give me one more chance to punish her, and I promise you, she'll never cause trouble for Apple Bloom , her classmates, and her teachers ever again" The two officers were hesitant at first, as they knew the filly needed to face consequences for her actions despite her young age, but they also knew that her father knew best as well and that it was only fair to have him deliver the punishment. " Please officer, just give me one more chance, my daughter will never cause trouble for anyone ever again"

“.....................Very well Mr Rich “ The first officer said. “ We shall give you one more chance to punish your daughter, but if your little plan doesn’t work , then we’ll have no choice but to take her in”

“I understand sir” The stallion replied with a slight sigh. “And don’t worry”

“I have something planned for her”

Later that day

We find filthy rich alongside his wife , butler Chives, and of course his daughter Tiara sitting comfortably in their respected seats onboard the moving passenger train that was taking them straight towards their destination. After his conversation with the officers a few hours ago, the stallion immediately made arrangements to set up a small trip to the outskirts, not even bothering to pack any luggage. After filthy Rich informed his wife and butler at what the officers told him Tiara was behind the fire, the pair were just as shocked as the matriarch. As the train continued towards their respected destination, the stallion along with his wife and butler remained blank faced as they knew exactly where they were going, all while feeling slightly regretful of the choice. When Tiara asked where they were going, Filthy Rich simply told the filly that they were going on a small trip. The filly didn’t ask any questions as she did enjoy taking trips especially if it was to either an amusement park or the beach.

But I’m sorry to say that this trip isn’t what the filly would expect, and just as the train reached the station, she would soon get her answer. The engine let off a long rush of steam as passengers began to exit out of their respected coaches along with the rich family. They soon began their trek towards the destination the second they exited the station. After what felt like a 2 mile hike for the group, they eventually reached a large building, the sight of the building caused the filly to raise an eyebrow in suspicion as this didn’t feel like a fun little vacation spot, it didn’t even look fancy enough to be a hotel. And the sigh that read “ Second Chances” didn’t help either, as it only raised the fillies suspicions as to what this place could possibly be?

Soon they made their way inside the building where Rich walked towards the counter , where the receptionist was waiting for him, the filly couldn’t quite point out as to what the two adults were discussing. And she didn’t even bother asking her butler or her stepmother as like her father, they wouldn’t give her a clear answer as to what the purpose was to this little trip if there wasn’t any fun location in mind. After a few minutes, filthy rich signed a mysterious piece of paper before walking back over to the trio. He gave a nod towards his wife and butler signaling them to stay in the lobby.

“Come with me tiara” He said quietly, tiara’s suspicions grew more and more, but she didn’t bother to ask why as she wouldn’t have gotten an answer anyways, so she just followed her father while Seline and Chives waited in the lobby. He led his daughter up the stairs to the room that the receptionist pointed out to him while he was at the front desk. They eventually found themselves at the second floor of the large building with various rooms scattered throughout the hallway, but the room that was assigned to the stallion red “number 4” Which ended up being only a few meters away from them.

Rich then proceeded to open the door before turning back towards his daughter. “ Tiara………sweetheart, Me , mom , and chives need to take care of some “adult business” downstairs. So I’m gonna need you to wait in this room for me, can you do that sweetheart?”

Tiara once again raised an eyebrow, but never the less followed her father’s directions. “ Uh………..ok? Whatever you say daddy. Will whatever you’re doing take long at all?”

“No it won’t” He said quietly before giving his daughter a hug, trying to hold back the urge to shed a tear. After a few seconds, he ended the hug before turning away. “ Just stay in this room until we get back young lady” Tiara watched her father walk back downstairs to the lobby, but again didn’t question anything as she knew he would be back to get her in a few minutes ( or so she thought ) , with nothing more to say, she headed inside the room her father specifically told her to “wait” in. As the filly walked inside. She was treated with something that she wasn’t expecting, the room looked small and bleak, with the walls painted an early gray color with a. Few spiders crawling all over it, an old wooden toy chest could be seen in the center looking practically empty with a few broken toys inside, sitting atop of a rug which looks like it’s seen better days, and there were 4 beds scattered across the room who’s wooden frames looked just as chipped and decayed as the toy chest, and the only source of fresh air and light in the room, came from the one window that stood across the room.

Diamond Tiara was in a state of utter confusion as she wondered what the hell this place was , as it seemed way too bland and sad looking to be a hotel of some sort. " What the hell is this, why would he want me to wait in this crap hold? And what sort of business would he even have in a place like........................... "

“Well look what he have here” Came a voice which interrupted and got the fillies attention, and soon a dirty looking colt who looked to be about the same age as the filly popped out from behind one of the beds, slightly surprising the filly as she wasn’t expecting anyone else in the same room. But the colt wasn’t the only one, as in an instant, five more ponies popped out of the shadows with one of em looking to be in his preteens. And they were all in the same state as the first colt . The filly had absolutely no idea what was happening right now or who these kids were, but she would soon get her answer as one of the kids in the room spoke up.

"You the new guy around here?" One of the fillies asked . Heh, been a while since we've got some fresh meat around here"

"Heh you said it" Said one of the colts. " Especially a Rich piece of meat.

"Who you calling a piece of meat ?!" Tiara protested. " And what the hell do you mean I'm the new guy around here? Me and my parents and butler are just here for business, I don't know what you filthy ponies are on about, but I ain't staying here. My daddy just told me to wait in this room for unknown reasons while he takes care of some business in the lobby downstairs"

"Hey did you hear that fellahs?" The preteen colt said. " She thinks her daddies gonna come back and get her!" The room soon interrupted in laughter from all the kids in the room, minus Tiara who was visibly annoyed at what could possibly be funny about what she just said. " Kid, I hate to break it to ya. But your dad just ditched ya, this place your standing in is where kids like us are sent if we've done something really bad to piss off our parents and loved ones off. Instead of grounding us or send us away to juvie, they just up and ditch us here as they don't wanna deal with raising a criminal"

" Indeed" One of the fillies said. " Sure there's a chance that either our parents would forgive and let us come home, or we'd get adopted. But those chances are slim as hell, especially after the sins we committed. After I nearly poisoned my teacher by placing drain cleaner in his coffee after he gave me a months detention, I doubt my parents will let me come home"

"And after I pushed my little brother down the stairs after he tattled on me, I doubt my dads gonna forgive me" One of the colts said.

"My best friend ain't gonna forgive me, especially after I killed his dog" One of the colts said. " It wasn't my fault that he got loose and bit my ankle, I was just acting in self defense. But no, he just called me a psychopath and a dog murderer, and my parents, you don't even wanna know how pissed off they were at me"

"No way I'm coming home after I poured flammable chemicals on a bullies face during chemistry class" Another colt said.

"Or when I tried to blind my mother after she read my diary" Another filly said . " Sheesh if you were concerned about my behavior, don't go reading my diary mom, it's non of your business"

"And of course yours truly" The preteen colt said. " I've been in here since I was 8 years old, I'll be 13 next year, and I highly doubt my folks are gonna take me back, they didn't even bother responding to my various letters I sent these past 5 years. Plus no one want's to adopt a teenager these days. I'll most likely be in here till I'm 18, and who knows if society would even give me another chance after what I've done. Seriously, It wasn't my fault my little brother got run over by that carriage, just because I was supposed to babysit him that doesn't mean I'm able to watch him while taking a crap. But they didn't listen, they just called me irresponsible and a poor excuse for an older sibling, especially since he's gonna be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. That just goes to show that my folks aren't coming back due to my mistake, Face it kid, this is where your here to stay"

Tiaras jaw dropped at what she had just heard, this place, that she was visiting , was actually some sort of boarding home for ponies who've done bad things, and the thought of her father leaving her here after what she's done scared the filly to the core, but she refused to believe any of this. " No, no your wrong!!!! My daddy wouldn't abandon me! Sure I've done a few things, but I'm not a bad pony"

"Your not a bad pony eh?" One of the fillies said. " Then why did you burn down that poor fillies house? " A cold shiver ran down Tiara's spine as she wondered how she could have possibly known what she did last night? " Yeah that's right, we know what you did, everyone knows what we've done, word gets out pretty quickly in a place like this. Face it Diamond Tiara, you can deny it all you want, but your a bad pony, and your folks agree as well. This is what happens when your bullying goes too far, there's no going back after what you've done, your stuck here.............................just like us"

"just like us"

"just like us"

"Just like us"

"just like us"

"Just..................like...........................usssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

The poor filly began to hyperventilate as the kids in the room began chanting the exact same thing over and over again, as the revelation that she was indeed one of them now brought fear into the fillies soul as she silently prayed for all this to be a joke and for her father to walk through that door and to say " Come on Tiara, lets go home" but I'm sorry to say, but the filly was in for a shocking awakening, cause down in the same lobby, Filthy Rich was seen sighing another sheet of paper at the front desk as Chives and Seline watched on with looks of guilt written on their faces as well.

"Rest assured Filthy Rich, your daughters in good hooves" The receptionist said to the guilty stallion. " We'll take good care of her, you have nothing to worry about"

"Thank you miss" He said quietly, his blank expression unchanged, he then finished the last of the paperwork before he and his wife and butler made their way towards the exit, their faces unchanged.

"Damn, poor kid" A mare caretaker with a dark reddish mane said under her breath. " I'd hate to be her right now"

Soon the trio were outside the building , ready to head back home, while feeling guilty for leaving behind the filly. But after what she did to the Apple family, they also knew that this was for her own good as they couldn't bare to see the filly locked away behind bars until she turned 18. Filthy Rich felt the worst of them all as he tried his hardest to keep his daughter in line as so she wouldn't become like his ex wife Spoiled Rich. As they continued to walk away, a voice could be heard calling out to them from the second floor window of the building.

"Daddy, come back!!!!!" Tiara called out. " Please I'm sorry , I won't do it again I promise. I'll be a good girl . Please Daddy don't leave me here, I'm a good girl, I'm not a bad pony!!!!! Please Daddy I don't wanna stay here, give me one more chance I promise I'll be good, don't leave me here!!!!!!!!" Hearing his daughters voice caused the stallion along with his wife and butler to stop in their tracks much to the fillies relief as she thought they changed their minds, but she would be proven wrong as they continued to walk away from the building much to diamond Tiara's horror. " No, no, no, no, no, no Daddy , Seline....I mean Mom, Chives come back!!!!!" Tears began to rain down as the filly banged hard onto the window as she continued to beg desperately for them to come back. " Don't leave me here please, I'll be good I promise, please daddy I wanna go home. I'm not a bad girl, I'm not a bad girl, I'm not a bad girl, I'm not a bad girl, I'm not a bad girl, I'm not a bad girl.........................

The fillies cries and pleas laid on death ears as the trio continued to walk away not bothering to look back, a single tear formed on the stallions face as his wife and butler placed comforting hooves on his shoulder as they too couldn't fight the urge to shed a tear themselves.

"I'm sorry Tiara" He said quietly.

"but this is for your own good"

Two months later

Inside a quiet peaceful home, we find a rich young unicorn couple in the kitchen , with the stallion reading the latest article of today's newspaper while his wife was finishing up the breakfast she was preparing. " Huh would you look at that honey? "The apple families home restored to its former glory thanks to a generous donation from Filthy Rich"

"Good for them" The mare said. " I'm happy that family got a new home, it was such a tragedy what happened to them a few months ago, but I'm extremely happy that they got back onto their feet . That Mr Rich, he is such a kind and generous man"

"He sure is honey" The stallion said. " We need more stallions like him in this world, but it's still kind of strange. I wonder whatever happened to his daughter?"

"Beats me" The mare answered. " I've heard a few rumors at work that he either sent her away to a behavioral camp, or transferred her to a boarding school. But the weird thing about it, it's almost as if she suddenly vanished?"

"Well wherever she is, I hope she's thinking long and hard about her actions towards others, especially after what she did to that poor filly and her family" The stallion said. " I'm just happy that we won't have to worry about our daughter going down that road"

"Indeed " The mare replied. " I'm so happy that you convinced us to adopt, after the doctor informed us that my infected uterus would prevent us from having kids, I was heartbroken. But when I met that filly, I felt like the happiest woman alive, and that gave me so much hope"

"Me too honey, me too" The stallion reassured. "She may not be related to us by blood, and we've only had her for a couple of months. But that kid is the best thing to ever happen to us, and rest assured we're gonna give her the best life here, and be the best adoptive parents she's ever had" His wife then placed three plates of pancakes onto the table for herself, her husband, and adopted daughter to enjoy. " Oh thank you honey, looks great" He then heard the sounds of hoof steps. " Oh , hehe seems the smell of your famous blueberry pancakes woke her up too"

Soon a young light pink furred filly walked into the kitchen, her eyes were completely blank and looked slightly soulless as she donned a big smile on her face, looking as happy as possible in front of her adopted parents. After what felt like an eternity, the filly walked over to the kitchen table and took her seat, ready to enjoy her pancakes. " Good morning mother and father, my apologies if I was late coming downstairs"

"No apology needed sweetheart" The stallion said proudly. " You right on time, and thank you for using your manners"

"It's no problem at all father, thank you" She replied. "You guys took me in after all, and i wanna try my hardest to be the best daughter you guys ever had, I would deeply hate to be a bad girl and to disappoint you lovely ponies"

"Nonsense" The mare said. " You have absolutely nothing to worry about sweetie. We're gonna love and take care of you no matter what, and your not a bad girl either, your a good girl my little Diamond and we're gonna love you no matter what"

"Thank you mother, I greatly appreciate you and fathers generosity and kindness, and providing me with a loving home" The filly said earning proud heartwarming smiles from her adopted parents. " And your right about one thing, I am a good girl" She then took a moment to stare off into the space as if she was looking directly at someone right in front of her, her soulless expression and smile growing bigger and bigger by the minute as she does so.

"A very, very, very, very.............................................

"good girl"
