A Mended Bond
Chapter 5: 5. Chapter 4
Previous ChapterBack at the hospital, Filthy Rich was visiting his daughter in the ICU. The sight of his only daughter in the hospital, in a coma, with a breathing tube in her nose, broke his heart. Then, his wife entered the room. "Darling, I need to show you something" she said and she showed him the diary entry that she came across. "I-I never knew she felt this way" said Mr. Rich "Me neither. We need to make some changes, big changes" said Nurse Sweetheart. Suddenly, the doctor entered with a melancholy expression. "Nurse, I've just received the results for the lab. It turns out your daughter is suffering the effects of a poison called Tears of Night." "Good! Now we can administer the antidote" Nurse Sweetheart said determinedly. "No, you don't understand. There's no known antidote for this poison." Tears immediately flooded the mother's soft eyes and ran down her face as her husband held her close. "Any time that we could have spent bonding with her we chose to waste feeling tired. We're terrible parents! , she cried. "If only there was another way to help our daughter" said Mr. Rich with a hopeful sadness.
All of a sudden there was a dazzling display of the most powerful magic. It shined so brightly that it blinded everyone for a few seconds. And just as quickly as it appeared, it faded away. Suddenly Diamond Tiara's condition seemed to improve. Her fever went down, her breathing returned to normal, and she slowly opened her eyes. "Mom? Dad?" she questioned. "Diamond Tiara!" her parents exclaimed and they gently hugged their daughter. "We're so glad you're alright!" "I didn't know that this would turn out so badly. I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble." Diamond Tiara apologized. "All that matters to us now is that you're alright. Things are going to change. We don't know how exactly, but they'll be good" said Nurse Sweetheart.
The doctor eventually declared Diamond Tiara's condition stable enough to allow her to be taken out of intensive care. The CMC went to visit Diamond Tiara after she had been moved to her room. "I know you all probably hate me, but I just want to say I'm sorry for the way I treated you all" Diamond Tiara said. "We don't hate you, Diamond Tiara" said Sweetie Belle "And we accept yer apology" said Apple bloom "right, Scootaloo?" "Oh…alright" Scootaloo admitted. "I'm glad that you're not mad at me after all the mean stuff I did, but why?" "Because we understand now" Apple Bloom said "All you wanted was some attention and you didn't know how else to get some" Sweetie Belle explained. "Thanks for understanding, and Silver Spoon." "Yes?" "Thanks for keeping my secret. I know you probably don't want to be my friend again right away, but will you at least give me a second chance?" "Of course." "We could be yer friends too, if we give it some time." "Come on!" Scootaloo said annoyed "Give it time, Scootaloo, give it time" said Sweetie Belle.
So, it turns out everything turned out fine yet again. Diamond Tiara survived and has vowed never to be cruel again. Both the CMC and Diamond Tiara's parents have learned some very important lessons. But I'm not going to tell you what they are. After all, show don't tell. I hope you enjoyed the story and that it didn't make you too sad.
