Here's chapter 5!

Okay everyone! This is the moment you've all been waiting for: Diamond Tiara gets busted! XD

Now I know Diamond Tiara reformed in Season 5 but remember folks, she was like this in Season 2. Just wanted to clear that up to avoid confusion and all.

Again, I know this isn't perfect but since it's mostly dialogue, it's the best I could do. I'm getting closer to finishing this story so I hope everyone is enjoying this so far.

And once again, thanks go to Park Ryder for her help. Thanks hon! :D

Next Chapter: The search for Scootaloo continues.

Until next time, enjoy!

I don't own My Little Pony or the characters. They belong to Hasbro.

Chapter 5: Verbal Confrontation

While Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash search for Scootaloo in Manehatten, everypony else walked from the train station and back to Ponyville.

"You think they'll find Scootaloo?" asked Applebloom.

"I hope they do." Sweetie Belle said in reply.

"I'm sure they will, darlings." Rarity reassured her sister and friend, "But until then, there's something else we need to do."

"What's that?" asked Spike.

"We're gonna tell everypony what's really going on." Applejack answered.

"But will they believe us?" her little sister asked.

"Don't worry, girls." Fluttershy placed herself between the two fillies and smiled in comfort,"They'll believe you when we tell the truth."

"Yep and everything will be back to the way it is." Pinkie Pie added with a smile of her own.

"Okay." Sweetie Belle sighed.

Once back at Twilight's library, Spike and the rest of the Mane Six gather up every pony in town to meet them there. Once a huge crowd was gathered, Applejack was the first to speak up.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please?" she announced.

All the ponies gathered around and listened to what the farm pony and her friends had to say.

"There are some ponies here who wish to say something." Rarity said as well.

Sweetie belle and Applebloom come out front but as soon as they did, all the other ponies glared at them.

"What are they doing here?!" said one pony.

"Haven't they done enough already?" said another angry pony.

"No! No! Listen, we were forced to be making those hurtful gossip stories!" Applebloom pleaded.

"Forced?" everypony said in surprise.

"We are being blackmailed to make those gossips." Sweetie Belle added.

"But who would do something like that?" Mayor Mare asked.

"Diamond Tiara." the two fillies said as they looked down.

Everypony gasped in shocked. The daughter of Filthy Rich, who acts like she's a good little pony, has been behind this terrible conspiracy? Nopony could believe this was happening. They all looked at each other and felt guilty for being so mean and cruel to the young girls.

"We are really sorry, everyone." Sweetie Belle apologized, "We never wanted to do this."

"And if we don't get a story by tomorrow an embarrassing story will be posted about us." the younger farm pony added.

"That's awful." Mrs. Cake held her hoof to her chest.

"That's not very nice at all!" Derpy exclaimed sadly.

"Indeed!" Dr. Hooves proclaimed, "How dare that filly torment you poor girls!"

"Yes but didn't you all liked it until it was about you ponies?" Fluttershy asked

"At first but we didn't know it was Diamond Tiara who was pulling all the strings and the fact we were all being deceived." Mr. Cake answered.

While all the ponies discussed with each other and apologized to the girls, Diamond Tiara was hearing the whole thing from a distance and was very angry at the fact that the Cutie Mark Crusaders told on her.

"Oooh, those cutie mark snitches are gonna get it now!" she muttered under her breath.

She trotted off to the schoolhouse to write the embarrassing stories and get the pictures posted with it. She thinks that if she gets humiliated, then the Cutie Mark Crusaders will get it much worse with their baby pictures and all.

"This will teach those tattletales not to mess with me!" Diamond said as she finished printing the stories.

Once everything was printed out and packed into her saddlebag, Diamond Tiara left the Schoolhouse and was ready to bring her revenge to life.

"Now this will be the biggest gossip for the paper!" chuckled evily.

She goes towards the town and is about to pass them out when Sweetie Belle and Applebloom ran to stop her. The two fillies caught a glimpse of their bully sneaking away to their school and decided to follow her, knowing that she might tell their embarrassing stories to the other ponies.

"No! Don't!" Applebloom shouted.

Sweetie Belle stopped in front of Diamond Tiara, blocking her way "Please, don't do this!"

"Hey!" the spoiled filly snapped, "I gave you enough time to get me juicy stories but I now I have to take matters in my own hooves!"

"Well we don't want to do this anymore! And neither should you!" Sweetie Belle glared.

"Hey! I'm head-editor and what I say goes!"

"More like a bully to me!" Applebloom snapped back.

"Yeah!" her friend agreed, "Does it make you feel good to make other ponies feel bad?!"

"That's none of your business, you tattletales!" Diamond Tiara yelled.

"We are not!" they yelled.

"Are too, blank flanks!"

"That's enough!" Applejack shouted as she and Rarity trotted towards the three fillies.

The young ponies turned around to see Applejack and Rarity trotting up and glaring at the spoiled filly who caused their sisters so much trouble. Like their little sisters, the two mare followed them to see what was going on and knew their suspicions were correct.

"We already know what you did!" Rarity scolded.

Diamond Tiara smiles nervously and tried to act innocent, "Uhh...I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh really?" Applejack narrowed her eyes, "Well, here's a headline story for you: "Bratty Pony framing my little sister and friends to do her dirty work!""

"Who are you calling bratty?!" Diamond felt offended.

"You, bratty tiara!" the farm pony pointed her hoof at the filly.

"Don't call me that, you stupid Apple!" she tried to tell off Applejack.

That's when Applebloom stepped in to defend her big sister, "Don't you call my sister that!"

"Says the girl with a stupid now in her hair!"

"Enough!" Rarity tried to break up the drama before it got ugly, "Why are you blackmailing my little sister and her friends?"

Diamond Tiara only scoffed before she answered, "Look, I'm use trying to get some juicy stories out for the school paper! Is that a crime?!"

"Putting embrassing stories of every-pony is bad!" Sweetie Belle pointed out.

"Ponies like stories like that!" she continued brush them off, "Everything else is boring!"

"No we don't!" they all exclaimed.

The young filly only rolled her eyes and gave them a smug look, "And besides, none of you can tell me what to do!"

"But I can!" a pony said.

The fillies and mares turned again to see her father, Filthy Rich giving her a serious glare. After hearing what his daughter had been doing this whole time, Filthy Rich was furious and wanted to go straighten things out before things got worse.

"Dad?!" she gulped.

"Do you mind explaining this?!" he shows her an embarrassing story of him buying jewelry which was meant for his wife, Spoiled Rich.

Diamond Tiara chuckles nervously and points at the two crusaders, hoping they would get them in trouble, "They did it?"

Filthy Rich continued to give his daughter a stern look, not believing her lie, "I'm not buying it, young lady."

"But daaaaad!" she whined.

"No buts!" he scolded her, "You disgraced the family name and the newspaper!"

"And because of you, we acted mean to our sisters!" Rarity added.

Diamond Tiara felt angry tears pooling as she snapped at the older pony,"That was your own fault!"

"That's enough, young filly!" Filthy Rich stomped his foot to make her be quiet.

Seeing her father angry at her as it is, she had no choice but to stop and just looked down, "Yes daddy..."

The stallion gave a deep sigh before turning his attention to Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, "Girls, I deeply apologize for her...wait, where's Scootaloo?" he noticed that she was not around.

"She ran away..." Sweetie Belle answered sadly.

"What?"

"She ran away because of how everypony was angry at us and it really hurt her inside." Apple bloom explained.

"Oh my!" Fithy Rich felt sad and shocked, "Is anypony trying to look for her?"

"Rainbow Dash and Twilight are gonna get her back, sir." Applejack said.

"That's good." he sighed in relief, "And by the time she does get back, there will be two things. One, a rightful apology for the three of you. And two, a punishment for my unruly daughter." he gave a slight glare to Diamond Tiara.

"Ohhhh..." she looked down and felt very sick inside.

"Good." Rarity said, "I just hope Twilight and Rainbow found her in time."

"Me too." Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked at each other and felt very worried for their dear friend.

Back in Manehatten, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are still on the look-out for their lost friend but they're not having much luck. Will they find her in time or will everything be in vain?

And what consequences await for the bratty Diamond Tiara?
