The next day in school, Cheerilee bared a grim look on her face as she came to the remaining students in her class. She noted that Silver Spoon looked severally depressed that her new friends were gone and she didn't know where they were. They were even going to go get milkshakes after school and do their homework at Sweetie Belle's place today.

"Class, I have some sad, urgent news," Cheerilee frowned before them. "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo will not be in class today."

"Are they sick?" Twist raised her hand.

Cheerilee frowned. "No, Twist, they aren't."

"Were they kidnapped by aliens and their brains are going to be eaten by zombies in Outer Space?" Snips asked.

"No Snips, the girls haven't been kidnapped by aliens and their brains are going to be eaten by zombies in outer space." Cheerliee replied, sounding annoyed by that question, slightly.

Snails looked at his friend, then raised his own hoof.

"Discord didn't kidnap them either." Cheeriliee said before he could ask a question.

Snails lowered his hoof suddenly.

"They have been sentenced to Foster Care." Cheerilee told them finally.

Diamond Tiara giggled evilly under her breath. Silver Spoon overheard it and turned with a harsh glare at her former best pony friend for life.

"Oh, I mean, what a tragedy! I'll surely miss them and their cutie mark earning ways!" Diamond Tiara falsely cried, slumping in her desk in false drama and despair.

Silver Spoon hardened her gaze at the spoiled filly.

"Now, let's just try to carry on with class, shall we?" Cheerilee said, turning to the desk and tried her best to teach without the three foals who lit up her life like no student had before in school.

"You had something to do with this, didn't you?" Silver Spoon whispered across from her desk, to Apple Bloom's empty desk, to Diamond Tiara's desk.

Diamond Tiara turned to her. She was guilty enough for the harsh words to sting her, no matter how silent they were compared to Cheerilee's lectures. "I told you, it's the blank flanks' faults! This is their karma!"

"Diamond Tiara, please keep it down." Cheerilee scolded, then continued to write on her board and discuss the lesson while the good ponies took notes.

Diamond Tiara glared at her teacher for not scolding Silver Spoon.

"Have you no conscience or soul, Diamond Tiara?" Silver Spoon continued to whisper.

"IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, SILVER SPOON!" Diamond Tiara raised her voice.

"Diamond Tiara!" Cheerilee turned sharply toward the pink earth pony.

"Silver Spoon started it!" Diamond Tiara whined.

"Started what?" Cheerilee and Silver Spoon asked.

"Don't give me that, you've been whisperin' mean things to your best pony friend forever!" Diamond Tiara defended.

"I haven't been whispering to you, Diamond Tiara!" Silver Spoon defended herself.

"Yes, you have!"

"That's enough, don't make me mail your father again!" Cheerilee scolded. "Silver Spoon hasn't said one thing since class started! Obviously, it's your guilty conscience for wrecking Apple Bloom's trophy! Now keep your voice down and let me continue with the lesson!" she turned back.

Diamond Tiara sat at her desk. She then turned to Silver Spoon who looked lost at her desk, trying very hard to focus on the lesson. She then heard more taunting from Silver Spoon and turned to her to see that her mouth wasn't actually moving. Silver Spoon really hadn't been talking to her. Her guilty conscience was talking to her and was taking the form of a voice she felt most comfortable with, the voice of Silver Spoon.

Outside, the other ponies did their best to play together at recess. Diamond Tiara sat at her table alone, pondering what could happen next in her thrilling adventure story that is her life just for Silver Spoon's attention. "Maybe that was too far of me... What do I care? It's not like anypony's gonna find out that I forged letters of my father to send those blank flanks to an orphanage!"

"You mailed Pony Foster Care?" Silver Spoon happened to overhear that as she came by.

"Uhh... No?" Diamond Tiara tried to sound innocent.

Silver Spoon snorted at her. "I can't believe you would sink that low... Were you born without a brain and a heart, Diamond Twat?"

The pink pony felt her stomach be mentally sliced and her heart mentally punched. "What did you call me?"

"Diamond Twat!" Silver Spoon repeated, looking aggressive. She then looked down and saw a letter DT wrote last night in feminine cursive and dotted I's with diamonds on them. Silver Spoon took the letter and showed it in her ex-friend's face. "I can't believe you thought you'd get away with that!"

"I did, didn't I? What're you gonna do? Tell everypony?"

"No, I'm not, but YOU are!"

"What!?"

"Come on, you're going to everypony and tell them the real reason why the Cutie Mark Crusaders are in a foster home!"

"You can't make me!"

Silver Spoon growled, tackled Diamond Tiara and started to drag her around Ponyville.

"You're pretty strong, Silver Spoon... I wonder why your cutie mark isn't a pair of muscles or somethin' strong and sexy like that?" Diamond Tiara wondered as she was being dragged.

"Flattery won't get ya everywhere, we're telling your daddy 'bout this first!"

"What about school?"

"Oh, like YOU care about school! You're not getting out of this one, Diamond Tiara, not even your daddy's lawyer or any amount of money will get you out of this mess!"

"Silver Spoon, you're kinda hurting me..."

"Good!"

The two fillies made it to Rich mansion as Filthy Rich was about to leave.

"Girls, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" the brown stallion asked his daughter and her friend.

"Diamond Tiara has something to say to you!" Silver Spoon painfully shoved Diamond Tiara to her father's hooves.

"F-F-Father..." Diamond Tiara looked up, fearfully.

"Daughter?" Rich looked down at her.

"W-W-Well, ya see..." Diamond Tiara swallowed hard with tears streaming down her face. "I sent the Cutie Mark Crusaders to an orphanage! I was just tired of them stealing my friend from me and I can't stand 'em, Daddy! I'm very, very sorry!"

"Are you?" Silver Spoon raised an eyebrow, baring a cold expression with no sympathy.

Diamond Tiara looked back at her with a sour face, then looked back at her father.

"I'm afraid not even an apology can fix this, I'm very, very disappointed in you, Diamond Tiara, I was going to give you this for cleaning the house before you went to school, but..." Filthy Rich shoved a brand new, bigger and better tiara in the trash, breaking it into pieces to allow a maid to take it away.

Diamond Tiara gasped and frowned with her eyes widening.

"Now, run along, we'll talk about this when you get home, after that, I don't want to see you for the rest of the day." Filthy Rich slammed the door on his daughter.

Diamond Tiara sniffled and walked with Silver Spoon. "I'm glad that's over..."

"Over? It ain't over! We still gotta go to the Apple house and Rarity's!" Silver Spoon sounded colder than Diamond Tiara's teasing to other ponies.

"Silver Spoon..."

"Look, I wanted to be your friend, but my new friends made me realize what real friends are like and what they do, now quit dawdling!"

The two fillies then went to apologize to everypony for sending away Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle. How long would this painful day take for Diamond Tiara?
