Diamond Tiara Tries Minecraft
Diamond Tiara sat at her computer, late on a Sunday night. She was busy catching up on the gossip of the premiere Canterlot royalty. Normally she would catch up on the hottest buzz with her best friend Silver Spoon, but she had said she was busy and wasn’t able to hang out this night.
She read many of the stories and watched all the latest buzz worthy ‘news’, everything from ‘Celestia’s Cake Addiction’ to ‘The Great and Powerful Trixie’s Secrets Revealed’ and now Diamond Tiara was beginning to get bored. With no one to dish about the latest buzz, spending hours reading gossip about celebrities seemed almost pointless.
Diamond Tiara decided to take a break, and opened up the messenger on her computer to open a chat with Silver Spoon when she saw her status was set to ‘available’. ‘Even if she is sick, at least we can chat.’ She thought to herself.
DTPrincess- Hey Silver!
ShiningSilver set her status to ‘busy’
‘Well that was odd’ She thought. She then decided to see if anyone else was online to chat.
SweetieBelle- Hey DT, what’s up!
‘Ugh, why did I ever add Sweetie Belle. Well, alright she’s not so bad, at least she’s nice.’ She admitted.
DTPrincess- I was just catching up on some of the latest Canterlot buzz :)
SweetieBelle- Oh nothing much really, just got back from the mall with Rarity and now I’m playing some Minecraft.
DTPrincess- What’s that??
SweetieBelle- It’s a big place with lots of stores, but never mind that now,
DTPrincess- I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before.
SweetieBelle- It’s a really fun game where you get to chop down trees and collect apples! Its really exciting!
DTPrincess – Isn’t that what Applebloom already does? :P
SweetieBelle- Well you can also find gems and make outfits of them too.
DTPrincess- Isn’t that that your sister does ಠ_ಠ
SweetieBelle- Well yes, but it’s so much more fun than that.
DTPrincess- Did you just copy and paste that from the website?
SweetieBelle- Um…no? But doesn’t sound like fun?
DTPrincess- Well maybe just a little bit, I guess I could try it out. I don’t have anything else to do.
SweetieBelle- Great I send you a link to try it, you’re gonna have so much fun!
SweetieBelle- Minecraft.Pojang.net
Diamond Tiara looked at the link and thought there are so much more valuable things she could do with her time like seeing ‘Who Wore It Best At The Canterlot Garden Party’ but ultimately she decided to give the strange sounding game a shot. She set her status to ‘busy’ and clicked the link. She downloaded the game and started it up.
She was first greeted with an unfamiliar orange Pojang logo, followed by the start up screen. Then she created a new world and waited for it to load up.
When the world finished rendering, Diamond Tiara looked at her screen to see large pixilated blocks everywhere. ‘Is she serious, this is supposed to be fun. How can I build wonderful, imaginative things when each block is as big as a boulder?’
She set off in the new world and quickly adapted to the controls, she began by punching several blocks of dirt into oblivion. ‘This is kinda fun’ she thought as she continued exploring. Within several minutes of punching dirt she moved on to punching sheep as night fell for the first time. She was busy delivering a final haymaker to the third unsuspecting sheep, when she was attacked by a zom-pony. It took her off guard and quickly killed her. Despite dying, she found that the game wasn’t so terrible and immediately jumped back in.
Diamond Tiara spent the next couple hours jumping around like a maniac, punching dirt and sheep, and then dying at the hands of a zom-pony. Rinse and repeat.
After a while she wondered what she could do to survive, all the punching she tried failed to kill any zom-ponies and she wondered how she could make it past the first night. Luckily Sweetie Belle seemed to still be online and had her status set to ‘available’.
DTPrincess – Hey Sweetie Belle.
SweetieBelle- Oh hi, Diamond how do you like Minecraft so far?
DTPrincess- its not too bad I guess, but I do have a question.
SweetieBelle- Sure, about what?
DTPrincess- I keep getting killed by the zom-ponies at night and then I have to start all over again, what do I do?
SweetieBelle- Oh well that’s simple you have to make a shelter, like you would in real life.
DTPrincess- How do I do that?
SweetieBelle- Just take something like sand or dirt and build a shelter.
DTPrincess- Oh, I didn’t know I could build things with dirt I’ve just been using it to beat the piss out of sheep. Lol
SweetieBelle- Lol yeah then you can craft items using wood like an axe for chopping trees or a pickaxe for stone, or even a sword to fight the creatures.
DTPrincess- Wow thanks, it’s gonna be a lot more fun now.
DTPrincess is now ‘busy’.
Diamond Tiara set off back into her pixilated world, and with her newfound knowledge of the game, she was able to build a shelter and survive the first night.
Diamond Tiara spent the next few hours upgrading her shelter as well as crafting tools, she began to get sucked deeper and deeper into the blocky world, when all of a sudden, her father Filthy Rich came into her room.
“Diamond what in Equestria are you doing?” Her father asked.
Diamond Tiara quickly closed her laptop before responding. “Oh nothing daddy, I was just doing some homework.”
“What I mean is I what in Equestria are you doing up this late?” Her father clarified.
Diamond Tiara took a glance over at her alarm clock to see it was 1:30am.
“Don’t you have school in the morning?” He asked.
“Oh I’m sorry daddy I didn’t realize it was so late.” She sheepishly admitted ‘did I really stay up this late playing that game.’
“Ok, but you need to get some sleep now, alright.” Her father said.
He made his way out and closed the door. Diamond Tiara breathed a sigh of relief ‘I’m glad he didn’t see what I was playing.’ She decided it was to call it a night as she made her way over to her bed.
But not before she quickly ran back over to her computer to make sure her game saved.

Class started and Cherilee began her lesson for the day “Good morning my little ponies, today we will be discussing…”
‘Oh Celestia I’m bored’ Diamond immediately thought to herself. The school day hadn’t lasted five minutes and already Diamond Tiara lost focus and began fantasizing about Minecraft, but she couldn’t help herself. If the day continued to be this boring, she didn’t know how she’d be able to make it home to play her favorite addicting game without dying of boredom first.
“and that’s when the Cloudsdale weather ponies make sure they have more than enough water stored to guarantee a strong harvest season. Does anyone know what they’ll do if they don’t have enough water stored?” Cherilee asked the classroom.
“Oh oh, I know” An excited Sweetie Belle shouted and raised her hoof to answer the teacher. “They get more water?” She said, not quite sure if she was right, but excited to answer nonetheless.
“Well yes, but does anyone know where they get the water from?” Cherilee specified.
“I know miss Cherilee!” Scootaloo called out. “They pump the extra water they need from reservoirs in certain towns using a Pegasus tornado.” Scootaloo answered.
“Very good Scootaloo, how’d you know that?” Cherilee asked.
“Rainbow Dash told me all about this one time, where she totally led a group of Pegasus in a tornado, and there were a bunch of sick Pegasi, but she totally broke the Pegasus wingpower record single-hoofed anyway. And then this other time…”
“Thank you Scootaloo.” Cherilee interrupted, if she didn’t stop that filly she’d go one all day about that Rainbow Dash.
After a while Diamond Tiara found the lesson to be unbearable. ‘Why can’t the teacher talk about the best way to kill a creeper or how to forge iron armor.” She wondered. ‘Then maybe this day wouldn’t be so boring.’
“and remember my little ponies, never look directly at the Endermen or they will become hostile.” Cherilee said.
Diamond Tiara looked up at her teacher in shook. ‘Did she just say?’
“If you need to defend yourself from an Endermen, remember that they will teleport behind you and attack when you let your guard down. That’s why it’s best to stand with your back to a wall and always attack with your bow.” Cherilee informed the class.
‘What, what is going on? Ah, who cares where’s my pencil, I gotta write this down.’ Diamond told herself.
“Now who can tell me the best way to build a strong shelter against creeper attacks?” Cherilee asked.
“Oh miss Cherilee, the best way is to build strong, thick walls that are easy to repair.” Silver Spoon answered.
‘Silver Spoon likes Minecraft? Wow this is great I’m getting all these great tips and my BFF loves the game too!’ Diamond told herself.
“Well yes Silver Spoon that is correct, but you shouldn’t call out answers like that.” Cherilee told her.
“Sorry miss Cherilee.” Silver Spoon replied.
“It’s quite alright.” Cherilee responded. “Diamond Tiara. Diamond Tiara?”
‘Yes miss Cherilee?’ Diamond tried to reply, but couldn’t speak.
“Diamond Tiara wake up, this is no place to sleep young filly.” Cherilee said.
Just then Diamond Tiara broke out of her sleeping state. She woke up and found that she was sleeping in class. Everypony in the class looked at her and giggled at the hilarious sight of a confused Diamond Tiara waking up in a puddle of her own drool.
“Alright settle down class.” Cherilee told her students. “Now back to the lesson. Who remembers where I left off?”

Class finally ended and Diamond Tiara was excited to get home and continue her game.
She made her way out of the classroom and was immediately stopped by the teacher miss Cherilee. “Diamond Tiara, could I please have a word with.”
‘Oh man, can’t I just go home and play my game. What am I in trouble for now.’ She thought to herself. “Uh, yes miss Cherilee?” She asked innocently enough.
“Don’t’ worry Diamond your not in trouble. I just want to ask you a quick question.” The teacher assured her. They both took a seat back in the classroom.
“Uh, yea what did you wanna know?” Diamond asked.
“It’s just I noticed you dozing off in class earlier.”
“Oh right, about that I’m real sorry.” Diamond interrupted.
“Like I said you’re not in any trouble, but as I was saying, I noticed you were dozing off earlier and you also seemed, how should I say, distracted. Like something was bothering you.” The teacher said.
“Oh well it was nothing, you don’t have to worry about it.” Diamond answered.
“Well I just want make sure because you are a growing filly, and while you have a wonderful father, he might not be able to answer every question you have.” The teacher clarified. “Is it possible that you stayed up late night, and that is the reason why you were so tired this morning?”
“Uh yea, how did you know?” Diamond asked. “I accidentally stayed up pretty late last night.”
Cherilee tried her best to choose her next words, she didn’t want diamond Tiara to be embarrassed, but she also wanted to be very clear. “Uhm, do you ever…play with… yourself?” Cherilee was embarrassed to ask the question, but a filly like Diamond Tiara is just too young to be doing those things.
“Well yeah, yesterday I stayed up pretty late playing with my self.” Diamond nonchalantly answered.
‘Maybe she just got the words mixed up. There’s no way she understood what I meant.’ Cherilee convinced herself. “I..I…mean do you ever go on your computer and play with…yourself.” She Clarified.
“Yeah of coarse I did, how else would I play with myself.” Diamond answered slightly confused.
Cherilee was taken back by Diamond Tiara casual responses. “Well…ok but maybe try to hold off on that until you’re a little older.” Cherilee suggested.
“But why, Minecraft’s not a mature game. I promise I won’t sleep in class anymore” Diamond bargained.
“Wait Minecraft, are you talking about that videogame that I keep hearing about?” Cherilee quickly responded.
“Uhm yea what did you think I meant when I said I ‘play with myself’”? Diamond asked.
“Oh um nothing.” Cherilee said now flushed red with embarrassment.
“But you said…”
“Doesn’t matter what I said.” Cherilee interrupted. “Wouldn’t you rather go hang out with Silver Spoon or play that game, than sit here and talk to the silly ol’ teacher.”
“Oh, yeah… Uh bye miss Cherilee.” Diamond shouted as she ran out the classroom.
Cherilee sat back in her chair and facehoofed. ‘Next time I think I’ll just let the student stay asleep.’ She told herself.
Diamond Tiara started practically running out of the schoolyard when she was stopped by Silver Spoon.
‘Oh shoot, Silver’s definitely going to wanna hangout.’ She remembered. ‘Why can’t I just come up with some brilliant lie, than I wouldn’t have to hurt her feelings and I can just play that game for a while.’
“I saw miss Cherilee wanted to talk to you, what was that all about?” Silver Spoon had waited for Diamond Tiara outside the school.
“Oh uh, something about me falling asleep in class, but honestly I wasn’t really paying attention.” Diamond admitted.
“Oh…” Silver Spoon replied.
“Soooo.” Diamond said after a long pause, she knew she’d have to invite Silver Spoon over, but she really just wanted to play that game.
“Yea, anyway.” Silver said, after another long pause. She knew Diamond was going to ask her to hang out.
“Did you wanna come over and go over some gossip?” Diamond asked, she knew she had to.
“I actually can’t today I have to go to some grocery stand with my parents to look for some special ingredient.” Silver said.
“Oh really what’s that” Diamond asked.
“Its where ponies sell fruits and stuff, really DT, how do you not know that? Anyway I’ll see ya later.” Silver said as she quickly made her way off.
Diamond sighed, but overall she was relieved ‘Great now I can finally get home and…’
“Hi Diamond Tiara.” Sweetie caught Diamond Tiara completely off guard.
Diamond spun around and saw Sweetie Belle “Ugh, what are doing here, and why are you even talking to me?” Diamond Tiara asked, more annoyed that this was just another distraction from her game more than anything.
“I was just wondering if you wanted to play with me?” Sweetie Belle asked innocently enough.
“And why don’t you ask those blank flank friends of yours to play?” Diamond asked in response.
“Well, Applebloom said her sister really needed her help on the farm today, seeing as apple season just picked up, and Scootaloo said she was gonna try and get Rainbow Dash to give her a lesson.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Ok, and what in the world of Equestria would we do together?” Diamond asked.
“Well we could play Minecraft. You said you liked it yesterday.” Sweetie innocently admitted.
“Wait what do you mean we could play Minecraft, how?” Diamond asked, curious as to how the two could play together.
“We could play multiplayer, I could help you build your map if you’d like?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Really?! Yes… I mean sure I guess that doesn’t sound so horrible.” Diamond was actually really excited, she could have Sweetie Belle’s help and they could play together. “Ok do you wanna meet me at my house later with your computer?”
“Actually my computer’s a desktop.” Sweetie Belle sheepishly admitted, she knew Rarity had a nice new laptop, but she’d never get permission to use it.
“Alright fine, I’ll go back to my place and fetch my laptop and I’ll meet you at your sister’s place?” Diamond asked.
“Yay, this is gonna be so much fun.” Sweetie Belle shouted.

Diamond Tiara likes Minecraft
Diamond Tiara made her way back to her house to retrieve her computer. She was actually thrilled that she’d be able to play the game with Sweetie Belle. They could trade tips and help each gather gold, and Diamond could talk openly about the game without fear. She just wished Silver Spoon liked the game too, and then she wouldn’t have to hide her love for the game.
When she reached her house she made her way up to her room and grabbed her laptop, she quickly ran back downstairs when she saw her father Filthy, or as he likes to be called Rich, sitting at the table reading the paper.
“Diamond Sweetie, I just waited to see if you were coming home. Are you going out to play with Silver Spoon again?” He asked.
“Actually no daddy,” She replied. “Silver’s busy and off to hang out with another filly.”
“A friend of yours, do I know this filly?” Filthy, err I mean Rich asked.
“Well you know Rarity, the dressmaker who made a lot of mom’s dress, it’s her sister Sweetie Belle.” She answered.
Rich looked a little puzzled. “I thought you two didn’t get along, and why are you taking your laptop?”
“Oh well, we’ve been getting along better daddy, and there’s this fun game I wanna play with her on my laptop.”
“Well ok then, just stay out of trouble.” He advised. “and don’t turn into a nerd, I don’t think Silver would like that now.” He chuckled.
Diamond gave an awkward nod and said goodbye to her father before making her way out the door, while ‘Filthy’ dove back into his newspaper before giving the innocent narrator a hostile stare.

Diamond tiara made her way over to Sweetie Belle’s and on the way she thought about what her father told her ‘don’t turn into a nerd’ her father’s words rang in her head.
‘I don’t want to end up a nerd like that Sweetie Belle.’ She thought before quickly dismissing the idea. As much as she hated to admit it Sweetie Belle was starting to become her friend, but she certainly didn’t want to lose her friendship with Silver.
Ultimately she decided to stop worrying about for the moment. ‘Besides it’s not like I had to blow off Silver spoon today anyway, she was busy.’ She thought to herself.
After walking through town Diamond Tiara made her way over to the Carousel Boutique. She knocked on the door and was let in by an obviously excited Sweetie Belle.
“Hi Diamond are you ready to play some Minecraft!” Sweetie Belle nearly spat out of excitement.
“Sure am, wanna show me to your computer?”
“Ok follow me.”
The two made their way through the colorful showroom of her sister’s shop. When Diamond Tiara noticed something sitting on a table next to the mannequins and went over to take a closer look.
“I thought you said you didn’t have a laptop?”
“Well I don’t, that’s my sister’s, and she just got it a couple weeks ago…”
“Oh my, is that an Alienhoof laptop, that’s a serious machine. Why in Equestria would your sister need that much horsepower?” Diamond asked looking over the truly expensive and super powerful rig.
“She uses it for a bunch of stuff. When she got it she said she ‘needed an upgrade from her weak ass setup’ ”. Sweetie remembered. “But most importantly she told me not to touch it, and said if I did she would banish me and throw me in a dungeon in the place that she banishes me to.”
“Uhh, huh” Diamond responded while practically drooling over the machine.
“Well do you wanna play, or do you wanna fantasize over my sister’s computer?” Sweetie joked.
“Wait where is your sister anyway?”
“She’ll be back later, she said she was running low on gems and had to go out hunting for some more. But before she left she told me not to touch her computer.”
“Ok, let’s go.” Diamond finally took her eyes off the laptop. “Show me your battlestation before your sister comes back and catches you looking at her computer.” Diamond joked. Sweetie Belle wondered just what would happen if Rarity did catch her looking at her computer and decided not to think about.
Sweetie Belle led the way to her room, and her ‘battlestation’ well it was certainly a computer, no one could argue that, but Diamond couldn’t decide from what decade it was from. At least the screen saver looked real enough.
“Isn’t it sweet, Rarity gave me her old ‘weak ass’ machine since she wasn’t going to use it anymore.”
“Uhm, this thing makes more noise than a lawnmower.” Diamond admitted, wondering if that thing could even play Minecraft.
“Uh Diamond that’s my fish tank.” Sweetie Belle said flatly. “This is my computer” she said pointing out her setup.
“Wow” was Diamond Tiara’s only response the powerful setup Sweetie Belle was given including a 32- inch monitor, i7 quad-core processor and 16GB of memory. “This was Rarity’s ‘weak ass’ setup?” she asked.
“Well she said it wasn’t good for clients since the screen was so big.”
‘Right that makes no sense.’ Diamond Tiara sarcastically thought to herself.
After firing up the game and starting a new multiplayer session, the two began their fun in Diamond Tiara’s world, appropriately named Diamond Tiara’s World.
They began construction on a volcano fortress, every little girl’s dream, and started by grabbing the lava they needed. First they dug their way to the bottom of the earth, then they searched for the lava they needed, and after falling in the lava only 7 times, they had enough for the volcano. They worked on it until Diamond Tiara declared the volcano fortress ‘good enough!’
They continued their fun for the next several hours both building their next great work and defending their masterpieces from those ‘goddamn’ creepers, and Diamond Tiara actually began enjoying herself and having a blast with Sweetie Belle.
The two we’re so mesmerized by the game that they hardly noticed when Rarity came home. They continued playing for awhile until Rarity called up to her sister, “Oh Sweetie Belle dinner is ready.”
Sweetie Belle paused the game, much to the dismay of Diamond Tiara. “Well you wanna eat, don’t you?”
Before Diamond could respond her stomach answered for her with a loud grumble as her face turned red from embarrassment. “I guess I could eat.” She said remembering that she forgot to eat all day.
The two made their way downstairs to find Rarity making dinner in the kitchen as she turned to see her sister. She noticed Sweetie Belle had her friend standing next to her, but Rarity had to ask her favorite question first. “You didn’t touch my laptop, did you?”
“Of coarse not sis.” She was probably asked that everyday.
“Ok, I see you have a friend over. Isn’t that Diamond Tiara?” She wondered before she leaned over to her sister and whispered in her ear. “I thought you two didn’t get along?”
“It’s ok sis. We’ve become friends now.” She openly admitted to her sister. “Right Diamond Tiara?”
“Yea, I’d say we’ve become friends now.” As much as she hated to admit it, she realized that she could call Sweetie Belle a friend now.
“Well as long as you two are friends now, why don’t you take a seat and I’ll finish up dinner.” Rarity advised the two as she made her way back over to the stove to finish dinner.
Diamond Tiara and Sweetie Belle took their seats and waited for Rarity to finish up. “So Sweetie Belle told me you went out hunting gems, how did that go?” Diamond asked.
“Rather splendid in fact, I ended up with three dozen sparkling baby blue sapphires, sixteen fire red rubies, six dozen diamonds, though it’s too bad diamonds are practically worthless in our economy, and hundreds more of different assorted gemstones. In addition to that Spike only ate five dozen gems and only tried to hump my leg twice. So yeah I’d say it went well.” Although she still wished those Diamond Dogs would take a bath every once in a while, but that was a problem for another day.
Rarity made her way over to the table laid out their dinner which consisted of carrots, peas, mashed potatoes and celery, obviously she stopped buying meat ever since the whole ‘horse meat’ story blew up.
“So how’d you two like to hear a story about what happened to me at the carrot stand today?”
Sweetie Belle simply nodded.
“Sure what’s that?” Diamond said.
“Well it’s a stand where a pony sells carrots, but never mind that now how’d you like the hear the story.” Rarity clarified.
Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes before she flatly said “Sure.”
“Well there I was at the carrot stall buying these delicious carrots, when all of sudden I spot Applejack, you know Applebloom’s sister, buying some celery. I made my way over to say hi to her and when I met up with her I asked ‘why are you buying celery, don’t you have all the apples you can eat?’ I asked and then she looked at me and with tears in her eyes she said ‘I eat so many goddamned apples.’ True story.” Rarity finished.
“Hey I’ve got a question.” Diamond said.
“Sure sweetie, what is it?”
“Why do you have such a powerful laptop?” Diamond was openly curious as to why she needed such a machine.
“Oh well I use it for games.”
“Really what kind of games?” Diamond asked enthusiastically.
“I only play the best, most challenging games I can find.”
“Yea I think she takes her little games more seriously than we do.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Little games?! Is Hoofcraft 2 just a little game?! Is Skyrim a little game?! Is Fallout: Equestria just a little game?!”
“Actually isn’t that last one a book?” Diamond asked.
“Yes and it’s also an epic experience, so I’d thank you Sweetie Belle for not calling them ‘little games’” she clarified. “No If you wanna play a little game you should try that Minecraft. That thing is hardly a game. All you do is run around and build stuff, it’s like playing with Lego’s, you know except Lego’s are impossible to use, what with the hooves and all.”
“Besides every time I play that game I get killed by those dumb zom-ponies.” She grumbled into her mashed potatoes.
“I keep telling you, that I’ll help you sis, but you’re always so busy.” Sweetie Belle revealed.
“Well fine, next time I get a chance you can show me ok?” Rarity said before receiving a nod from Sweetie Belle in return.
After eating more of their dinner and some polite conversation, Diamond Tiara had the urge to ask Rarity for help with Silver Spoon. “Say Rarity can I ask you another question?”
“Sure, whatever you’d like dear.”
“Well actually it’s just a little private. Do you think I could talk to you alone in the other room?” Diamond admitted.
“Sure, I suppose.” The two got up and made their way over to the other room. “What’s bothering you dear?”
“Well it’s about my friend Silver Spoon.” Diamond Tiara knew that Rarity knew a lot about friendship and she figured she’d have some good advice. “You see I’ve been playing that game a lot recently and I’m afraid if Silver Spoon finds out she might not wanna be my friend, or worse she might think I’m a nerd.”
“Well I know you two are good friends, because I see you together all the time. I’d say the best thing for you to do is just to tell her. It isn’t a big deal anyway, but if you feel like you’re trying to keep a secret from her than maybe you should just tell her. I promise you she won’t care about what games you play, especially if she’s a true friend. Does that help?”
“But what if she does care and then she hates me?”
“She won’t.” Rarity promised.
“But what if she does?”
“Let’s just, for a second, say she does than you have to realize that she’s not a true true friend.” She leaned over and put a hoof around Diamond Tiara. “But I’m telling you she is.”
“Well thank you for your advice ” Diamond said as if it wasn’t the answer she was looking for.
“So are you going to tell her?” Rarity asked.
Diamond Tiara sighed. “I guess I have to. I’ll tell her tomorrow.”
“Good, now let’s go finish up dinner.” They made her way back into the kitchen. “Don’t worry dear it’ll all work out” She reassured her as they sat down.
“What was that all about?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“It was private Sweetie Belle, now eat your carrots.” Rarity scowled.
“Come on, just give me a hint.”
“Honestly Sweetie Belle, now eat your peas.” Rarity scowled again.
“Please please…”
“Fine, we we’re talking about dresses.” Rarity lied.
“Ugh, you always talk about dresses.”
The three finished up dinner and Rarity went to clean up the table.
“Hey Sweetie Belle I think I’m gonna get going now, I think my dad expected me home earlier and I’ve got some homework to do.” Diamond lied, she wanted to go home and think about what to do with Silver Spoon.
“Sure, but promise you’ll come over again soon, today was a lot of fun.”
“Don’t worry today was way too much fun to just do once.” Diamond admitted.
Diamond went to leave but before she left she made sure to thank Rarity for not only dinner but the advice as well.
She made her way into the kitchen where Rarity was cleaning the dishes and clearing the table. “Uh Rarity, I just wanted to thank you for the great dinner you made.”
“Oh well thank you sweetie, it was a pleasure to see you and do come back some time.” She leaned over to Diamond “You’re much quieter than Sweetie Belle’s other friends and not a thing is broken.”
She made Diamond Tiara laugh. “Ok well thanks again.” Diamond got out before Rarity interrupted.
“And remember what I told you” She called out.
Diamond Tiara made her way back to her house as Rarity continued cleaning, when Sweetie Belle came running down the stairs from her room.
“Did Diamond leave already, shoot she forgot her laptop.” She told her sister. “ I guess I’ll just give it to her tomorrow at school.”
“Actually Sweetie Belle, I’m coming to pick you from school tomorrow anyway, don’t worry I’ll make sure to give it to her.”

Sitting in class the next day, Diamond Tiara couldn’t decide what to do. After staying up most the night trying to come up with a plan, she was no closer than she was after her talk with Rarity. She was still afraid that she’d be digging her own grave if she told Silver Spoon herself. She began to fantasize about how different scenarios would play out.
She’d wait until after school to meet up with her friend. “Silver Spoon I need to talk to you.”
“Sure DT what’s up.”
“Well, I need to tell you about why I’ve been lying to you lately.”
“Okay, so what’s that”
“Silver” She’d choke up. “I play been playing that game Minecraft.”
“You’ve been what?!” Her head shook and suddenly Silver Spoon’s head began burst.
“Silver Spoon what have I done!?” She yelled out.
“Diamond Tiara? Diamond Tiara!” Suddenly miss Cherilee brought Diamond Tiara back from her fear-induced nightmare. “Would you mind answering number four on the homework for us?” Cherilee tested to see whether Diamond Tiara was paying attention.
Diamond Tiara, back to reality, shouted out what she hoped would be a lucky guess. “Uhm I got Seven?”
“The answer you got for ‘What is the proper purpose of an adjective?’ is seven?” The class laughed at her inability to focus. “Settle down class, and Diamond Tiara do make sure to pay more attention.”
After class finally ended Diamond Tiara made her way over to Silver Spoon.
“Sure DT, anything you need.”
“Well I…umm... it’s just…nothing, forget about it.” She couldn’t do it, she was too afraid to tell her. “I have to go home, daddy needs my help with something.”
“Okay well I guess I see you later.” Silver Spoon looked at the ground clearly disappointed with herself for some reason, which Diamond Tiara never caught.
Diamond Tiara turned to walk away and saw an approaching Sweetie Belle and Rarity, who was carrying the laptop she forgot yesterday.
“Hi, Diamond you forgot your laptop at my house yesterday, my sister wanted to make sure it go to back to you.”
“Thanks.” Diamond Tiara had mostly forgotten about her computer and was too focused on her ever-weakening situation.
“Do you wanna come over again and play?” Sweetie Belle excitingly asked.
“I…uh can’t…I’m busy”
“Okay then some other time.”
Rarity noticed it was clear Diamond Tiara hadn’t told Silver Spoon about her secret. She then looked at the pink filly, and with her head nodded over to Silver Spoon.
“I didn’t, I just couldn’t.” She told Rarity.
Rarity gave a look which specifically asked ‘why not?’
“I can’t” Diamond looked at the ground disappointed in herself.
Rarity gave up, she had to do something herself. She walked Diamond Tiara over to Silver Spoon “Silver Spoon I believe Diamond Tiara has something she needs to tell you. Go ahead Diamond.” She pushed the filly.
“I uhm.. I… I…I like Minecraft okay, there I said it I love that game, it’s just so much fun. You can do a million things and build everything you want. I’m sorry Silver but I had to tell you.” She nervously awaited a response from the confused grey filly.
“You like Minecraft, really? I thought you’d hate it.”
“Well I actually love it, its so much fun.”
“You mean I’ve been keeping this a secret from you all this time for no reason?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Diamond I love that game too, I started playing it on Saturday and I feel in love with it, but I was afraid to tell you, cause I thought you’d call me a nerd. So I began making up ridiculous lies”
“That’s crazy where would you ever get that idea?”
Rarity rolled her eyes.
“So if we both like the game why don’t you come over to my house and we can play it?” Silver asked.
“Sure that sound like a great idea, I already have my laptop, it’s gonna be so much fun. I can show you all the things that Sweetie Bel..” Suddenly Diamond remembered Sweetie Belle, sure they weren’t as close as she was with Silver Spoon, but she thought of Sweetie Belle as a friend now.
“Actually Silver why don’t you go grab your laptop and meet me over a Sweetie Belle’s place. She could teach you a thing or two, besides you have to see her ‘weak ass’ machine that’s more powerful than both our laptops combined.”
The End.
Diamond Tiara likes Minecraft
Diamond Tiara woke up and after her rigorous morning routine, made her way off to school. On the way she couldn’t get that game out off her head. She started thinking of bigger and more ambitious structures she’d have to try to make when she’d get home.
She began to fantasize about carving her latest shelter on the side of a cliff, when she stopped herself. ‘What am I doing I can’t let Silver think that I’m obsessed with that game.’ She thought to herself. ‘She’ll think I’m a total dweeb like those Cutie Mark Crusaders.’ She decided to keep her new hobby a secret from her best friend.
When she reached the school, she found her best friend Silver Spoon sitting and waiting for her.
“Hey Silver, missed you last night. What happened to you anyway?” She asked.
Sliver Spoon looked off for a second before responding “Oh hey DT, err yeah we had to take my mother to the doctor’s office, but don’t worry she was fine.”
“Oh my gosh what was it?” Diamond asked.
“It was a big place with lots of sick people, but never mind that now. It was just a simple hay fever.” She answered.
‘Wait, her status was set to ‘available’ last night until I messaged her and she changed it to ‘busy’. Diamond thought.
“Weren’t you online yesterday? I tried messaging you.” Diamond asked.
“Well yea…I mean no, I was out to dinner with my parents the rest of the night. I think it just changed the status to ‘busy’ by itself.” Silver Spoon answered.
Diamond wondered how Silver Spoon knew her status changed if she wasn’t home but decided to stop worrying. If Silver Spoon was lying, she probably had a good reason for it.
“So, um did you watch the latest Desperate Hoofwives last night?” Diamond asked. They usually discussed what happened on the latest episode every Monday, but Diamond had just remembered she forgot to watch it, as she was too busy playing Minecraft and bite her lip for bringing it up. She decided she could fake her way through the conversation.
“Oh uhh, yeah can you believe what that…one did?” Silver asked.
“Um oh right, and then she…uh…with that one… oh, who was it?” Diamond responded.
“It was umm Thun…der…wing?” Silver nervously said.
“YES Thunderwing, right now I remember.” Diamond lied.
“and then she got in a fight with, uhh” Silver tried to think.
“Uh SANDY STORMS!” They called out in Unison. They were both clearly lying but were too focused on their own lies to notice the other’s.
Just then the school bell rang signaling class was starting and both breathed a sigh of relief that they were able to lie about what they actually did last night.
‘Perfect, she never suspected a thing.’ Diamond told herself as both fillies made their way into the school.
