The next morning...

The sun rose and shined all of Ponyville. Everything was bright outside. Everyone was happy and enjoying life. The birds chirping, the ponies outside talking with one another. Everybody loved Ponyville! And everyone always had a terrific morning! All except for Diamond Tiara...

"DIAMOND TIARA! WAKE UP!" Spoiled Rich shouted at her daughter.

"OKAY! OKAY! I'M UP!" Diamond Tiara freaked out and fell off her bed.

"Ow..." Diamond Tiara thought.

She rubbed her head and then she heard her mother say,

"Now listen sweetheart, you have a great day at school! And also remember... I'm gonna watch you today and if I see you acting nice to the low-class ponies at your school, then you'll be sorry when you get home! GOT IT?" Spoiled Rich explained.

Diamond Tiara sighed and agreed with her.

"Great, now I have to be mean... The one thing I didn't want to do for the rest of my life. I might as well fake it enough to fool my mother." Diamond Tiara thought.

"Mom, I just realized that... You're right. Those poor ponies at our school. Most of them are Blank-Flanks! I guess I should be mean to them Huh? Heh heh!" Diamond Tiara nervously chuckled.

"That's the spirit! I thought I lost my own daughter yesterday." Spoiled Rich replied happily.

"Now, I have to get ready mom, so may I please have some privacy? I wanna look good so that everypony at our school will be jealous of me." Diamond Tiara asked. Showing her mother the best grin she could make.

"Sure honey, anything!" Spoiled Rich answered. She left her room and closed the door to give her some privacy.

After she left, Diamond Tiara literally hit her head against the wall lightly.

"Great, I have to act mean now! This isn't gonna go very well... And worst of all she's gonna be spying on me today! Just great..." Diamond Tiara said to herself.

She sighed and then frowned. She looked at herself in the mirror, surprisingly... Her mane was perfect and didn't need to be messed with. She smiled and then put her Tiara on top of her head.

"Gee, I never knew I was so pretty." She thought.

Then she frowned and then groaned, "Alright Diamond, don't get too ahead of yourself."

She opened up her Saddlebag. She wrapped the Scrapbook in wrapping paper. Then, she slid it into her Saddlebags with ease.

"Perfect!" Diamond Tiara said.

She ran to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and then ran downstairs before being stopped by her mother telling her,

"Remember what I said sweetie." Spoiled Rich reminded her.

Diamond Tiara gulped and then waved back to her Mother before running out the front door.

"Phew, I'm not looking forward to today... I don't wanna be a bully. Why did I have to listen to my mother all those years. Hopefully the Crusaders don't take it personally." Diamond Tiara thought.

She trotted along the streets of Ponyville and spotted the Crusaders in sight. The three Fillies noticed her and walked up to her.

"Oh no..." Diamond Tiara thought nervously.

She looked behind her and saw her mother looking out the window.

"Hi Diamond Tiara! How's that Scrapbook coming along?" Sweetie Belle greeted.

"Oh um... It's going fine Uh... I finished it." Diamond Tiara answered.

She looked nervous and since Sweetie Belle was quite an observer, she knew that she was nervous about something.

"Are you alright? You look a bit nervous?" Sweetie Belle asked in a worried tone of voice.

Spoiled Rich shook her head and opened the window,

"These are those low-life's my daughter wanted to be friends with? I gotta break her friendship with them." She thought evilly.

Diamond Tiara looked behind her and saw her mother watching and listening to their conversation. Her mother gave her a serious look and Diamond Tiara gulped nervously again.

"My Scrapbook IS finished! Why do you care?" Diamond Tiara answered in a bratty tone.

"Excuse me?" Sweetie Belle replied back surprised.

"You heard me, Squeaky Belle. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to school. I don't have time to speak with Low-class ponies like you three!" Diamond Tiara shouted rudely.

She walked in front of her and pushed her aside, as well as Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

"That's my girl!" Spoiled Rich grinned.

-------------------------------------------

"What just happened?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I'll tell you what happened, she pushed us! And she insulted you!" Scootaloo answered.

"No, it can't be true... I thought she's changed into a better pony?" Apple Bloom joined in.

"Hey! Hey! It's alright, even if she called me that name, I'm sure something's bothering her. Or maybe she's just having a bad morning." Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom thought about it for a while and agreed with her.

"Your right, ah reckon it's probably her mom." Apple Bloom suggested.

"We don't know that for sure? So let's just leave Diamond Tiara alone for the day until she comes to us?" Scootaloo asks.

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded their heads in agreement. They carried on with their day and walked to school together.

-------------------------------------------

At school...

Diamond Tiara saw everypony playing at the new Playground. They all had smiles on their faces. All except for her. She just sat there sitting alone at a bench. Nopony bothered to ask her what was wrong. She sighed, she was depressed she had no friends basically. Maybe the Crusaders but they'd probably never forgive her since she faked being mean to them when she promised she'd never do that to them anymore.

"Great, I just had to call Sweetie Belle, Squeaky Belle. They'll probably stop being my friends now. And then I'll be left with nopony!" Diamond Tiara cried.

She let a few tears escape her eyes. She felt bad about pushing them as well. She looked around and then sighed again. She spotted her mom talking with Miss Cheerilee.

"Great, now she's here? This day can't keep on getting worse!" Diamond Tiara thought.

Then, she saw Lickety Split and his gang approaching her.

"And of course... It can." She thought.

"Hiya Ms. Brat!, watcha doing?" Lickety Split asked.

"Leave me alone Split, I don't want any trouble." Diamond Tiara replied back, not giving him any eye contact whatsoever.

"Hey I'm just being nice." Lickety Split replied.

Diamond Tiara crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. She didn't notice that Sun Glimmer was behind the bench she was sitting at.

Next thing you know... Sun Glimmer tilted the bench over on purpose and Diamond Tiara fell face first into the pavement on the ground.

"Ow." Diamond Tiara thought.

"Heh heh heh, nice one Glimmer!" Peachy Pie complimented her.

"Thanks Peachy!" Sun Glimmer happily accepted the compliment.

Lickety Split noticed something in her Saddlebags sticking out. So he took a look and pulled out a neatly box shaped present with White and Silver Wrapping paper around it.

"What's this?" Lickety Split asked in surprise. He took it out and looked at it.

"Is this for a certain friend? I thought you had no more friends?" Lickety Split asked.

Diamond Tiara got up from the ground slowly but Lickety Split threw the present on her and she fell back down.

"It's... Just a present for Silver Spoon." Diamond Tiara answered.

"Well if your trying to fix your friendship with her, that's not gonna happen. She'll never forgive you and don't count on it either." Lickety Split explained.

"No, I'm trying my best to be a better pony." Diamond Tiara said.

"YEAH RIGHT! YOU THINK I BELIEVE THAT? YOUR A BULLY AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ONE!" Lickety Split shouted at her. He spit on her present and she gasped at what she saw.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

She rushed over to help Diamond Tiara along with Scootaloo and Apple Bloom by her side.

"Why should we?" Lickety Split asked.

"Because you guys are acting like bullies too! She's still a pony with feelings! Just leave her alone guys." Sweetie Belle requested politely.

Lickety Split rolled his eyes and then answered her saying,

"Fine, come on guys lets go."

Lickety Split motioned his friends to follow him and they did just that.

When they left, Diamond Tiara looked up and saw Sweetie Belle extending her hoof towards her. Diamond Tiara was about to take it until she looked to her left and saw her mother, Spoiled Rich watching her.

She knew what that could've meant...

"I don't need your help!" Diamond Tiara shouted back hitting Sweetie Belle's Hoof out of the way and got up herself.

"What's wrong with you Diamond? Yesterday you were acting like a better Pony! You even promised that you wouldn't be rude to us anymore or bully us! And you called me Squeaky Belle when I forgave you for that! Not to mention were trying to help you become friends with Silver Spoon again! And yet you treat us like dirt all of a sudden?" Sweetie Belle yelled.

"B-but you just... Wouldn't understand why all of a sudden I'm like this today." Diamond Tiara replied back in a depressed tone.

"Your right, I wouldn't understand... So you're on your own now Diamond Tiara! Don't bother talking to us anymore. We tried helping you and yet you still bully us. What does it have to take Huh?" Sweetie Belle shouted.

Diamond Tiara looked down in shame. She knew that she didn't mean any of this to happen. But she also didn't want to get severely punished by her mother. She really wanted to tell them why she was acting this way, but she just couldn't find the courage to do so.

"I'm sorry..." Diamond Tiara apologized. She picked up the present she had for Silver Spoon, as well as her Saddlebag. And ran away to the Swings at the Playground.

Sweetie Belle sighed.

"Are you okay Sweetie Belle?" Apple Bloom asked.

"No I'm not okay... We lost a friend who could've been a better pony. It was her dream to become a better pony, but I guess it's her fault." Sweetie Belle answered back. She was disappointed in Diamond.

She thought she had changed but she was wrong.

"Hey it's okay, who needs her anyways? It's her fault." Scootaloo said, trying to cheer Sweetie Belle up.
