I woke up the next day to hear my door knocking, I opened it to see Fluttershy and Big Mac.

"Morning there you two." I greeted.

"Morning Bond, would you mind taking our group journal to Twilight, please?" Fluttershy asked, "I forgot to give it to her last night and I took it my home by mistake."

Big Mac handed out the journal book and I took it with my magic.

"Sure, I'll do that for you shortly. You two have a fun day together."

"Thank you Bond and we will...see you soon."

"Eeyup."

I then left the house as they walked onwards through the town. I approached Twilight's library before I knocked and opened the door it to see Twilight, Spike and the CMC's who were lining up in a row.

"Uh, Sweetie Belle, maybe we should run through the steps another few times before you try it on your own." Twilight said.

"Nope. Ready to give it a shot!" Sweetie replied.

"Okay then!"

Twilight stood back as Sweetie began to use her horn for the first time, the sparks on her horn showed as she tired to lift up the broom from another part of the room before I heard a click somewhere.

"Ugh! Think I threw my neck out..." Sweetie sighed.

"Aw, you're okay." Scootaloo comforted.

"A little more magic practice and liftin' brooms'll be a cinch!" Applebloom assured.

"I doubt it. That thing weighs a ton."

"Hey, has anypony seen my-" Spike cut himself off as she noticed the broom, "Oh, there it is."

He then began sweeping the floor, whistling.

"Hmph. I'll never get my cutie mark for this..." Sweetie huffed.

"Maybe not. But I'm happy to keep helping you learn just for the fun of it as long as you like." Twilight replied before she noticed me "Oh hi there Bond, is that our group journal?"

"Yeah, Fluttershy forgot to give it to you last night." I replied.

She then took the journal off me and placed it on an empty book stand...although I did wonder when am I going to write something in there.

"So, what are the CMC's here for?"

"Oh since  they're currently on hiatus with cutie mark searching, they needed something else to do. So I came up with this tutoring session I call 'Twilight Time', where they can learn to make themselves better by doing these sessions."

"Ah I see and how long has this been going?"

"They started last week."

"Hey, who's gonna clean up this mess?" Spike asked as he came across a unicycle in pieces.

"This is no mess!" Scootaloo protested, "These are the carefully arranged pieces of a unicycle I took apart and will be putting back together... as soon as Twilight shows me how."

"Scootaloo, I already told you I won't show you how, but I'll help you find the instructions so you can figure it out yourself."

"Ugh, I hate research!"

"To your left, third shelf from the bottom. You'll find it in no time."

Applebloom was working with a plant inside a pot next to a set up chemistry display.

"Thanks so much for helpin' us all learn these new skills, Twilight." she said.

"Always glad to pass on my love of learning for learning's sake." Twilight replied.

"Only ah'm afraid ah'll never get the hang of this potion-makin'."

"Did you follow the magic plant-growing formula I gave you?"

"Well...uh...more or less."

"Well, let's try it out on this apple seedling and see how we do."

"Oh...ah hope this works."

Applebloom then dropped a tiny drop of liquid onto the plant which created a huge puff of smoke, Twilight coughed and then flower which blossomed into a flytrap plant of sorts coughed as well. Sweetie and Scootaloo giggled.

"Layin' it on a little thick there, aren't we, pal?"

I giggled, "Well you fillies enjoy your session. I'll see you all later." I said as I began to leave.

I then left the library and walked down through the town, I spotted Diamond Tiara go into the hospital which got me curious.

"Hmm, now why is she going in there?" I asked myself.

With mu curiosity at a high level, I walked over to the hospital but I casted a stealth spell I had learnt to improve on and walked inside. I followed Tiara down one of the hallways and downstairs to a lower level of the hospital which I thought didn't exist. There was a hospital guard member there who unlocked a gate for Tiara to enter, I went through it quickly without the guard noticing. Tiara then finally stopped at one of the doors down the hallway. It was almost like a see through door with a silver lock on it.

I stood back and kept an eye on my magic level since being stealthy for a long time can drain it out if I'm not careful.

"Mom, are you here?" Tiara asked worryingly as she tapped on the door.

Just then, I saw a mare on the other side that almost looked like Tiara, but had a darker pink coat with white and purple mane and a small green hat. Her eyes however caught my attention, the centre of her eyes were spinning around like the Doppler effect....BAZINGA, I yelled in my head.

"Tiara, my baby daughter." she replied as she looked at her through the window.

My mind was close to being blown...that mare who's locked up like an insane pony is Diamond Tiara's mother?!

"Mother...things are just not the same."

"I know they aren't Tiara, but you also know that I can't be free while I'm locked up here. Your father refuses me to let me anywhere near you, even though it's hurting you inside and you need a mother's love."

"Yes, you told me this before. I thought I would be able to have friends, but I lost one a few days ago."

"That's sad to hear, I guess your father still hasn't changed since I was put away in this mental part of the hospital."

"My father is becoming less helpful to me ever since that Bond Weiner started getting involved with those blank flanks and Silver Spoon who fell out with me."

"Tiara! Please stop! I am deeply hurt enough as it is with the depressing news."

Her mother began to cry as I looked on, still stealth but learning more about Tiara's background.

"I'm sorry mother." Tiara sniffed, "I just wanted to be popular so that my dad wouldn't neglect me."

"But you are your own pony, you shouldn't solve your problems through bullying and being spoilt."

Tiara began to cry as she laid her head on the door whilst her mother did the same.

"I may never be able to get out of here, but you have the whole freedom to be a better filly. Your father had divorced me when I went crazy a long while ago and wanted to forget all about me, but I will always be your mother and your father needs to learn to be a better parent."

"Oh mommy." Tiara cried, "I only wanted to come here to give you a short but gentle message."

"Really, then what was it?"

"Happy birthday mama..."

She placed her hooves on the door and her mother did the same on the other side and both cried again.

Now I understand why Tiara behaves like a spoilt child, her father must've been leaving her out so much and without her mother being there, that she began to change for the worse. But here, she seems to be far more forgiving and sympathetic, but even that doesn't excuse her from all the bullying and deceiving she has done towards the CMC's. But all the same...no filly should ever be separated from a parent's love, especially at a time of need of comfort and caring.

"Thank you my baby...I'm so glad you still remember my birthday after all this time."

"Okay little filly, time is up." the guard warned.

"Go on Diamond, just promise to be a better filly and don't let the past overtake your emotions like it overtook mine."

"I'll try very hard, mommy...I'll see you again soon.

Tiara smiled as she turned and walked away from the basement hallway, up the stairs to the ground floor of the hospital and then out of the building as I followed her. When she was out, she began walking back and away from the town, could be going back to her family home I guess. Whatever I saw and heard, I must not tell anypony else, I'm sure she doesn't want any grief beyond a personal level, but then again, this is Tiara I'm talking about here.

I shrugged my shoulders and decided to take a break at the cafe, it was lunchtime for me anyway.

After I had my lunch, I heard a bit of yelling.

"Go, go, go!" Sweetie yelled.

"We gotta beat them to Twilight's so we can explain!" Scootaloo added.

I then began to hear a chant sounding like a mantra, I left the cafe and looked to my right to see...what the heck!

"Twilight Time! Twilight Time! Twilight Time! Twilight Time!" The fillies chanted as the CMC's galloped away from them.

"What is this? A zombie rush?!" I asked out loud.

I then saw Silver turn up and she looked frightened by the mantra noise.

"Oh it's horrible!" she cried as she hugged my foreleg. "Diamond Tiara fooled the CMC's into thinking she had changed and got them to be popular, but when they talked about Twilight Time, she used it to her advantage."

"My god!" I responded. "How can one filly like her be so dangerous?"

"I really don't know, she never wants to answer me about her past."

I had to give Silver a comforting hug until we saw Tiara from behind the group of fillies.

"Thanks to me, you three are now the hottest thing around." Tiara yelled, "You're welcome."

She then turned and giggled in a non-sincere way...I guess she let her Father's behaviour get the best of her again. I had to help the CMC's out and prevent them from getting mauled outside the library.

"You better go straight home, I'll handle this." I said to her.

Silver nodded as I flew up and on my way to library, but when I got there, I saw two fillies already at the door.

"We...made...it...Quick! Knock on-" Sweetie was cut off when she noticed them.

The door was knocked and Twilight opened the door and she gasped at the number of fillies.

"Twilight, we can explain." Sweetie said.

"We know you said we should just keep Twilight Time to us!" Applebloom added.

"We didn't mean for so many other ponies to be here! Honest!" Scootaloo pleaded.

Twilight giggled, much to their surprise, "Oh, don't be silly. I only meant that for your benefit so you could get the most out of our time together. But if you want to share your time with others, that's fine."

"So you're not mad?"

"Of course not! Come on in, everypony! Spike made nachos!"

All the fillies cheered as they walked inside, I sighed and went in as well, hoping the CMC's will be alright. I walked in and I saw Spike having trouble serving a huge plate of nachos.

"Turns out we'll need some more than that." Twilight said.

Spike sighed as he went to Twilight's kitchen.

"Before we start, we should maybe get a bit more organized? Ponies interested in magic in this corner. Ponies who want to learn potions over here. Bookworm ponies over there."

Several fillies began splitting up and going over to their desired books.

"Incredible. Looks like everything's workin' out just fine." Applebloom commented.

"And I was so afraid Twilight would be disappointed in us." Scootaloo added.

"Told you I knew exactly how to handle all this!" Sweetie boasted.

"Thanks to all of you for taking time out to come learn new things." Twilight said to all of the fillies.

"Thank you, princess!" Tiara replied, sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, let's settle down. If you want to thank anypony, thank the Cutie Mark Crusaders for so generously sharing this time."

"It was nothing, really. We just felt it was the right thing to do." Sweetie replied.

"Hmph! What a laugh." Tiara muttered.

"Let's begin over here. And what would you like to learn, little one?" Twilight asked.

"I want to learn how to become a Cutie Mark Crusader!" Pipsqueak answered.

"And why do you want to become a Cutie Mark Crusader so badly, hm?"

"Because then I could get all my classmates to do me favours and stuff because I'm friends with a famous princess!"

"Uh oh...this is about to take a turn for the worst...might as well prepare." I muttered as I put on a hard hat.

"Is this true?"

"We wanted our time together just as a way to be with you and learn new things. Really and truly!" Sweetie replied.

"Prove it."

"Huh?"

"If it's true, then I'm sure you've all been practising your skills over the past week. Show me how much better you got."

"Uh, well, uh...we...can't." Applebloom said.

"We kinda rushed over and forgot to bring our stuff." Scootaloo added.

"Hm, I see."

I looked at Tiara who seemed to be grinning evilly at the CMC's thinking they were close to being in trouble.

"No, wait! Hey, everypony, you're in luck!" Sweetie exclaimed, "You came to learn, but instead you're getting dinner and a show! Get ready, 'cause we, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, are about to lay on you the amazing skills we learned in Twilight Time!"

The fillies chattered...I wasn't liking where this was going.

"Unfortunately, since we don't have Scootaloo's unicycle parts, she'll take apart and put back together one of the scooters from outside."

Scootaloo then brought in a green scooter.

"Hey! That's my scooter!" Pipsqueak yelled.

"You got us into this mess, kid. Might wanna roll with us." Scootaloo replied as she took the handlebars off.

"Apple Bloom doesn't have her apple seed with her, so she'll just grab an apple from the kitchen. And I will begin by using my magic to lift this broom!"

The CMC's then began working on their little tasks, however as I feared, it didn't pay off with a huge mess made around the place.

"That didn't turn out quite how I had hoped." Sweetie said.

"Looks like Twilight Time is over." Twilight declared.

"And look who's not the princess's entourage anymore." Tiara intervened. "Guess they didn't come here to learn after all."

"Well, neither did any of you."

"Awww..." the fillies said as they began to leave the library with Tiara feeling pleased with herself.

The CMC's looked miserable and I fell sorry for them that they got easily fooled by Tiara's fake "leaf turning".

"We're really sorry, Twilight. We made a huge mistake." Sweetie apologized.

"And we really and truly did enjoy learning new skills with you." Applebloom whimpered.

"Guess we'll have to just keep on doing it without you now. Thanks, Twilight." Scootaloo said as she brought forward the scooter she took apart but repaired it back together just like new.

"Thanks..." Applebloom said as she poured a drop on the plant which blossomed into a lovely flower.

"Thanks..." Sweetie added as she used her magic to lift the flower and place it on Twilight's head.

"Wait a minute you three." I called, "Were you not aware of what you just did?"

"Yeah." they all replied,

"You all managed to do your tasks effortlessly just now. I think that's more than enough proof for you to carry on having your time with Twilight and just you three, nopony else."

"He's right and I'm willing to give you a second chance." Twilight agreed.

The CMC's smiled and hugged Twilight, until we saw Spike return a huge pile of nacho cheese, only to find the others fillies were already gone.

"Aw, come on!" he yelled in frustration.

"Don't worry Spike, I'll have some of that...I'm quite hungry anyway." I assured him as I took a bite out of the nacho mountain...mmmm, cheese flavour. "I better get going now, but Sweetie, I think you should come with me to see Rarity, I'd love to see the look on her face when she finds out you can now do magic."

"Okay, Bond, see you girls later." Sweetie replied as she walked with me out of the library.

When we got to the boutique, we walked along inside and up the fashion room.

"Rarity my love, you're not gonna believe what Sweetie has learnt today." I said to her as she was resting on her couch.

"Oooh really? Let me see." she replied.

Sweetie concentrated and with her magic, she lifted up a small broom from one corner to another corner of the room.

Raity gasped, "Sweetie Belle! You...you can do magic?!"

"All thanks to Twilight's lessons."

Rarity began to tear up whilst smiling...Sweetie then brought over a handkerchief with her magic.

"Well, I'll leave you two to it, I've had a long day." I said.

"Alright darling, but before you go...please?"

I then winked and kissed Rarity before I left her home and walked back to mine.

When I was about to go in, Fluttershy came from out of nowhere.

"Oh hi Bond, did you hear?" she asked.

"Hear what?"

"A swarm of breezies are on their way here, they're going to be travelling through Ponyville during tomorrow."

"The same breezies you saw on your vacation?"

"Yes and I want all of you to help me."

"Of course, I'll make sure to help out on whatever you need tomorrow...by the way, how did you day with Bag Mac go?"

"Oh um...it was...nice." she then blushed, "Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow."

She then flew off whilst squeeing a little, I guess her day with Big Mac was a treat for her. I walked into my home and had a late dinner since it was already sunset. I decided to go to bed early so that I would be alert and awake for tomorrow's breezy event. It's hard to believe that Diamond Tiara's mother is in a dark part of the hospital, trapped from seeing her daughter and Tiara covering up her past by being a bully and almost dangerous, trying to ruin CMC's time with Twilight.

Speaking of which, I was really impressed with them who have learnt new skills with Sweetie finally able to use magic...now I wonder how long will it be before Sweetie gets the hang of it and becomes just as good as Rarity.
