A/N: I can't believe it happened, it finally happened. I made a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan fiction. Well, I actually blame these dreams I had when I went to bed early with bad allergies. I dreamt that I was Silver Spoon and basically, this was born. I understand this may seem cliche as that it might be a popular fic plotline that Silver Spoon abandons Diamond Tiara and befriends the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I might continue, I don't know yet though, but I would appreciate it if you would Read & Review. Enjoy! Lauren Faust owns practically all.

It started out as a typical day in Ponyville school. All the little ponies were together inside Cheerilee's classroom learning the ways of ponies as they would grow up to be like their families before them. The bell rang and the students went outside for a little recess. Diamond Tiara walked out with Silver Spoon as always as they saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders, also known as their classmates Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle, they were the only students in class who didn't have their cutie marks.

"Look, Silver Spoon, it's those blank flanks." Diamond Tiara scoffed, laughing at the three ponies.

Silver Spoon often laughed with Diamond Tiara, but this time, she seemed tired of the mocking and looked not interested in being a bully today.

"Come on, laugh!" Diamond Tiara demanded.

"Huh? Oh, sorry." Silver Spoon said, then forced laughed, sounding not like she meant it at all.

Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes at her best friend, then they walked to the three ponies. "Hello, blank flanks, you better get out of that table, that's our table!"

"Your table?" Apple Bloom looked at the pink pony from the table she sat in with her friends. "Ah don't see yer name on it, Diamond Tiara!"

Diamond Tiara walked over, shoved her out of the chair she was in and showed her name and Silver Spoon's name were engraved in it.

"But the only other table to sit in is with Snips and Snails!" Sweetie Belle didn't want to leave.

"Yeah, those guys are weird and disgusting!" Scootaloo added.

"Like you're complaining about that, orphan!" Diamond Tiara scoffed.

Silver Spoon winced at that insult.

"I'm not an orphan!" Scootaloo yelled. "My mom and pop just live far away outside Ponyville!"

"Yeah, why didn't they take you with 'em then, huh?" Diamond Tiara got in her face.

"Come on, Diamond Tiara, leave them alone." Silver Spoon spoke up.

Diamond Tiara turned at her. "You're defending these blank flanks?"

Silver Spoon felt herself shrink by Diamond Tiara's scolding eyes. She backed up as Diamond Tiara walked toward her, shoving her nose into Silver Spoon's. It was a very unsettling feeling. Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara had always been together, everpony in school knew it, but why was Silver Spoon acting different today?

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you wanted to be friends with these blank flanks!" Diamond Tiara continued to harass her supposed best friend.

"I'm just saying, it's dumb to make fun of someone just cuz they're different, DT!" Silver Spoon admitted.

Diamond Tiara stopped suddenly. "What're you talking about? Remember when we were blank flanks and we were made fun of all the time? I got mine, then you got yours, and we became the best students in Miss Cheerilee's class! REMEMBER!?"

"Look, I just don't wanna be a bully today, okay?" Silver Spoon got out of her trap and walked forward.

Diamond Tiara seethed at her. "You go back to those blank flanks, Silver Spoon, and we are so not Best Pony Friends Forever anymore!"

Silver Spoon rolled her eyes, then continued to walk off.

"THAT'S IT!" Diamond Tiara yelled in her spot. "I don't need you! I never even liked you, FOUR EYES!"

Silver Spoon stopped in her tracks. "What did you call me?"

"FOUR EYES!" Diamond Tiara repeated, sounding harsher than the first time she said it.

Silver Spoon sniffled. She then felt her eyes itch with tears behind her glasses. The gray pony then ran inside the school-house, slamming the door behind her and began to cry. The other ponies, namely the Cutie Mark Crusaders, looked at her, feeling sad for her. They all then grew angry faces and glared at Diamond Tiara.

"That was mean, even for you, Diamond Tiara..." Twist said, walking toward her.

"Like I care!" Diamond Tiara stuck her nose in the air, looking snooty as always. "It's all the blank flanks' faults!"

Twist looked at her, raising her eyebrow. "I don't think so..."

"Well, who cares what you think?"

Twist looked hard at her, then walked off.

"Yeah, walk away, that's all you foals are good at!" Diamond Tiara growled.

"I wonder why Silver Spoon stood up for us?" Sweetie Belle wondered.

"Yeah, that's not the Silver Spoon I know, but I like her, I think." Scootaloo added.

"That is strange, come on, let's go see her." Apple Bloom said, leading the way in the school-house.

Silver Spoon was crying at her desk in the empty classroom. The Cutie Mark Crusaders walked in. They looked at each other, then Sweetie Belle walked toward her desk to see the wailing filly.

"Uh, Silver Spoon?"

The gray pony flashed her eyes open in alarm, seeing the ponies before her. "What do you three want?"

"We heard you cryin'," Apple Bloom explained. "We also wanted to know if there's anythin' we can do for y'all."

"I'm fine, just go away." Silver Spoon turned away, still tears streaming down her face.

Scootaloo came to her side to face her. "Silver Spoon, why did you stick up for us today? Usually you just do whatever Diamond Tiara tells ya to."

Silver Spoon sniffled. "I know... It's just... I was tired of making fun of you. I actually wanted to be your friend, but Diamond Tiara kept pushing me. I'm really sorry, uhh... I'm sorry, I never really paid attention to your names. Can we maybe start over?"

The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other with friendly smiles, then back their new possible friend.

"Sure, Ah'm Apple Bloom."

"And I'm Sweetie Belle!"

"Don't forget me, Scootaloo!"

Silver Spoon sniffled, wiped her eye and smiled. "Nice to meet you all. I am Silver Spoon!"

The ponies giggled together.

"Say Silver Spoon, we were gonna come over to my place for some of Granny Smith's apple pie, y'all wanna come?" Apple Bloom offered.

"You're inviting me?" Silver Spoon tilted her head.

"Why not? You're our friend now." Sweetie Belle smiled. "That is... If you wanna be our friend, I mean..."

Silver Spoon smiled, hopped from her desk. "Sure! I can't say I ever had apples before."

"WHAT!?" the CMC asked.

"Who's never had apples before!?" Scootaloo gasped.

"I was always a stubborn filly, and Diamond Tiara made me never eat them cuz of you, Apple Bloom." Silver Spoon smiled apologetically.

Apple Bloom put her hoof around the gray pony. "Come on, let's get home."

---

The trio with their new friend then left the schoolhouse. Diamond Tiara was alone, looking lonely and shot up once she saw her best pony friend forever coming into view. She then wanted to go to her, but Diamond Tiara remembered she was angry with Silver Spoon, then sat back down in her spot, being lonely and angry. Diamond Tiara then couldn't help but wonder why Silver Spoon was following those blank flanks. Probably to teach her a lesson that will be forgotten by tomorrow.

"You're gonna love Granny Smith's apple pie, makin' that pie's in her blood and it's her special talent, so it's her cutie mark!" Apple Bloom said on the way.

"It must be tough being a blank flank." Silver Spoon said.

"Uh, Silver Spoon, can you not call us blank flanks?" Sweetie Belle requested. "If it's not too much trouble, but we kinda take it personally."

"Oh, sure, sorry," Silver Spoon smiled apologetically. "Must be tough being you guys..."

"It can be, but we're fine together, cuz we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo stated, proudly.

"Oh, can I be a cutie mark crusader too?" Silver Spoon lit up.

The CMC paused once they came to Apple Bloom's place.

"Uh, you kinda have to be without a cutie mark to be a Cutie Mark Crusader, but you can be our honorable crusader." Sweetie Belle suggested.

The gray pony made a strange face, but smiled. "Uh, okay!"

"Hooray for Silver Spoon, our honorable crusader!" the rest of the CMC cheered.

Apple Jack came out with a satchel around her body. "Hey, girls!"

"Hi, Apple Jack!" the CMC said together.

"Hello, Apple Jack!" Silver Spoon added, with a friendly smile.

Apple Jack raised an eyebrow at the new pony. "Ain't you one of them mean fillies always makin' fun of my sister?"

"It's okay, Apple Jack, she's our friend now!" Apple Bloom spoke up, protecting the gray pony from her older sister's cold stare.

"Really? Well, that's a good note!" Apple Jack smiled. "Kinda strange... I never would've suspected this from you, Diamond Tiara."

"I'm Silver Spoon..." the gray pony said, looking a little irritated that she was mistaken.

"Oh, my bad, all you bullies look-alike to me." Apple Jack said. "Granny's pie is on the counter, Big MacIntosh and I are gonna sell out today, y'all help yourselves!" she walked off.

"Thanks Apple Jack!" Apple Bloom smiled at her older sister. She, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle then walked inside together.

Silver Spoon watched Apple Jack leave, then joined her new friends inside for her first taste of apple pie. The pie was cut up for everyone to get a slice. Silver Spoon then took her slice and ate the pie, her eyes went wide and she licked her lips.

"That was the best thing I ever tasted!" Silver Spoon beamed.

"Told ya Granny was great with pie!" Apple Boom beamed as well.

"She is, tell her I'd like the recipe." Silver Spoon smiled.

"Why don't you tell her yourself?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Silver Spoon looked at her. "Apple Bloom's granny lives here?"

"Yeah, she looks after me, Apple Jack, and Big Macintosh." Apple Bloom explained.

"Oh, okay." Silver Spoon smiled back at her and finished her apple pie.

"It's nice having you as a friend, Silver Spoon." Sweetie Belle held her into a one-armed hug.

"It's nice having you all fellow uhh... Not cutie mark having ponies as friends." Silver Spoon smiled at them.

The CMC looked at her.

"But Silver Spoon, you do have a cutie mark!" Sweetie Belle pointed out.

"Huh? Oh that?" Silver Spoon looked at her flank. "Oh, yeah." she laughed nervously, then frowned. "Guys, I have a confession about that... My cutie mark is... fake."

"What! How can that be?!" Scootaloo wondered.

Silver Spoon hopped from her seat. "It's fake. Like, a fake tattoo. You know what a fake tattoo is, right?"

"Yeah, Rainbow Dash told me about 'em."

"Well... Ya see..."

"FIRE! FIRE!" Granny Smith suddenly came in with a hose, gushing water over the ponies.

The ponies screamed as they were soaked.

Granny Smith looked around. "Oh, you're all just eatin' mah pie. Carry on..." she smiled sheepishly, then walked back where she was, turning of the hose.

"Well, that was weird!" Scootaloo snorted, slightly.

"I'll say!" Sweetie Belle coughed.

"Now, Silver Spoon, what were you sayin' about yer cutie mark being-" Apple Bloom started to ask, then noticed that Silver Spoon's cutie mark was dripping and smearing off her flank.

"FAKE!" the CMC spotted.

Silver Spoon looked to see her flank was becoming blank and looked down at the floor, shyly. "It's fake... I paint it every single morning to impress Diamond Tiara."

"Why did you pretend to have a cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked.

"Cuz ever since Diamond Tiara got hers, I wanted to be her friend, so I painted a fake one so that she would like me since I'm a four eyes." Silver Spoon explained.

"You ain't a four eyes, Silver Spoon, you're just special and unique, just like us." Apple Bloom defended with a smile.

Silver Spoon sniffled and smiled at her new friends.

"We should tell Diamond Tiara you're a blank flank too!" Sweetie Belle chirped.

"NO!" Silver Spoon blurted. "She'd never pay attention to me again!"

"But, don't you want to be our friends?" a stunned Sweetie Belle asked.

"Well, sure, but... I kinda wanna be Diamond Tiara's friend too..." Silver Spoon looked distantly.

"Ah, let's forget about Diamond Tiara for today, let's be friends for now, huh?" Scootaloo offered.

Silver Spoon looked at the CMC and smiled. "Okay, let's hang out like real friends.

The ponies went all over Ponyville and became friends with their friendly montage. They got some treats at the Cakes place, Silver Spoon met the Mane Six on friendly terms, Silver Spoon proved to tell them a lot of cool and fun jokes. Silver Spoon got a fancy new dress from Rarity that was a lot more comfortable and fun than the outfits she was forced to wear for social gatherings with Diamond Tiara. Speaking of Diamond Tiara, what the fillies didn't know was that they were being watched by her, looking angry and vengeful at the Cutie Mark Crusaders for stealing her best friend.

That night, the ponies were on their way home and Silver Spoon was standing outside her house. "Thanks, you guys, that was fun, I had a great time." Silver Spoon said, nearly yawning with all the fun she had today.

"See ya later, Silver Spoon!" Apple Bloom said, walking off to the Apple home.

"Laters, Double S!" Scootaloo said, leaving to her home.

"See you in school tomorrow, Silver Spoon!" Sweetie Belle said, walking off.

Silver Spoon smiled at them, then walked inside her own house. As she shut the door, Diamond Tiara came out of a bush from the door, glaring at the ponies.

"How dare those blank flanks steal MY best friend! They're going to pay for this! Wait til I tell Daddy, he'll fix this!" Diamond Tiara snarled, sneaking back in he bush as the door opened.

"Did you say something, bush?" Silver Spoon raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, no?" Diamond Tiara said, hidden in the bush.

Silver Spoon shrugged, then went back inside.

Diamond Tiara popped back out, then snuck back to her house. "DAAAAAAADDDDYYYYY!"
