Shattering Diamonds
Chapter 8: Chapter 7: Diamond Hearts, Shattered into Pieces...
Previous Chapter Next ChapterBack to the Crusaders! A couple of minutes had passed...
About 10 minutes!
"Girls, where's Silver Spoon? She isn't back yet." Diamond Tiara asked in a worried tone.
"Relax Diamond Tiara. I'm sure she's just using the restroom or something. Who knows!" Scootaloo replied.
"Well it shouldn't take that long unless she's fixing her mane." Diamond Tiara pointed out.
"Hm... come to think of it, it's been a while. I think we should go check it out or something." Apple Bloom suggested.
"Yeah! I agree. Maybe she's in the bathroom!" Sweetie Belle joined in on the conversation.
All four fillies got up from the table they were sitting at, and trotted their way to the bathroom.
They went in and looked around, they didn't hear anypony in the bathroom at all. They decided to look elsewhere and searched around the entire place.
-------------------------------------------
Back to Lickety Split's hangout.
"Here Ya go boss!" Peachy Pie yelled.
She and Sunny Daze set Silver Spoon on the ground gently and Lickety Split smiled at both of them.
"Nice work you two!" Lickety Split thanked them.
Just then Silver Spoon started opening her eyes slowly. She had no idea where she was or what happened. She only blinked her eyes a bit and saw nothing but darkness everywhere. The hangout place was indeed dark, there was no light unless Sun Glimmer used her horn to light up the place.
"Ugh... My head, what happened?" Silver thought.
She opened her eyes after hearing voices and woke up completely.
"GAH! Where am I? Who's there?" Silver Spoon freaked out.
"Sun Glimmer! Light please!" Lickety Split commanded.
Sun Glimmer immediately used her magic and then lit up the place completely!
"Lickety Split? What do you want!" Silver Spoon asked.
"I'm here to tell you about Diamond Tiara. You shouldn't hangout with her or be friends with her at all!" Lickety Split answered.
"Why should I? I forgave her for what she did at the election! We're cool now! And there's nothing you can do to change our friendship!" Silver Spoon shouted.
"Yeah we can! Do you know how much she's bullied us? She hasn't changed! Not after what she said about you!" Lickety Split yelled back.
"W-what did she say?" Silver Spoon asked.
"She told me that she's only being friends with you so that she can use you as her puppet! Basically forcing you to do stuff for her!" Lickety Split explained.
"Your lying!" Silver Spoon didn't believe him.
Lickety Split looked to his right and saw Shady Daze by his side.
"Plan B, bring me that fake recording of Diamond Tiara's voice quick!" Lickety Split whispered into his ear.
Shady nodded his head and ran to get the Tape-Recorder from their little storage area. He eventually found it and brought it back to Lickety.
"Here's proof Silver!" Lickety shouted. He pressed his Hoof on the big green button and a voice started speaking
"Diamond Tiara you look pretty upset, is something wrong with you and Silver Spoon? Aren't you too friends?" Lickety Split's voice asked.
"I honestly don't care if she's my friend or not, as long as I get her to do whatever I want! I don't care about friendship! She's just like any other pony at our school! A loser! Especially those Crusaders. They're losers too! even that poor dirty pony Apple Bloom, she lives at a farm. And I also forgot Sweetie Belle as well! A unicorn that can't even sing properly nor use her magic correctly is just sad! And Scootaloo! She's already old enough to be flying already! Yet she still can't fly! They're all losers! Of course I'm gonna get them to do what I want! I don't care about friendship and I never will!" Diamond Tiara's voice played back.
Silver Spoon's heart broke into pieces after hearing Diamond Tiara say that about her.
"I-it's not true! It can't be! I thought she changed! How could she say that about us?" Silver Spoon started tearing up. She looked down at the ground and tears started to form in her eyes.
Lickety Split grinned and came closer to her and sat in front of her, along with his friends as well.
"Silver Spoon, we know how you feel... Betrayed and upset! But don't worry about not being friends with her. It's for the best and besides... You got us! We're not really bullies! And we're really nice too!" Lickety Split encouraged her.
"T-thanks for telling me that... But I just want some time alone right now. Where's the exit?" Silver Spoon asked.
"I'll show you! Follow me!" Lickety Split answered.
He got up from the ground and started walking with her showing the exit.
Silver Spoon started to leave until Lickety Split asked her,
"I think you should show this to the Crusaders as well. They have to hear it too."
Silver Spoon sighed and then took the Tape-Recorder out of his Hoofs and carrying it with her mouth. She looked depressed, and she thanked him. Then, she kept on walking away and eventually disappeared as she got farther and farther away from him.
"Heh heh heh HA! IT WORKED! IT REALLY WORKED! WE DID IT! Now Diamond Tiara can finally get she deserves!" Lickety Split cheered.
"That was a nice backup plan there Split! Chip Mint complimented him.
"Thanks, and also Peachy Pie, you were great with voicing Diamond Tiara! You really sounded like her!" Lickety Split smiled.
Peachy Blushed and replied back saying,
"T-thanks! You were great too at coming up with the plan!" Peachy Pie complimented back.
All six friends celebrated their victory and then hoped that it would all go to plan.
"Alright Sun Glimmer, how about you take this camera and record it for us. We wanna see Diamond Tiara's reaction." Lickety Split told her, giving her a camera to record it.
"Aye Aye Capt'n!" Sun Glimmer responded happily and took the camera and then went back to SugarCube Corner.
-------------------------------------------
"IT'S NOT TRUE! IT JUST CAN'T BE!" Silver Spoon cried her eyes out. She kept crying and crying leaving a trail of tears behind her as she made her way back to SugarCube Corner.
Eventually she was her friends in sight and they all noticed the sad expression on her face.
Meanwhile... Sun Glimmer made her way back faster than Silver did and hid behind a bush nearby to avoid being seen. She started recording the scene in front of her and couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
Diamond Tiara, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle ran up to her asking,
"What's wrong?"
Silver Spoon lifted her head up and had an angry look on her face. She gazed at Diamond Tiara and then played the Tape-Recorder.
When it finished... Her friends all gasped and they couldn't believe it.
"This'll be good!" Sun Glimmer giggled.
-------------------------------------------
"W-what! I never said that stuff about you guys!" Diamond Tiara questioned them.
"Yes you did! At first I thought it was a lie but Lickety Split showed me evidence and this is clearly your voice so you can't say it isn't!" Silver Spoon answered her.
Even the Trio of the group didn't believe it either and asked Silver,
"Silver, are you sure that's true?"
"Yes! You want me to play it again?" Silver Spoon asked.
She played the Tape again, and again, and again until they had angry looks on their faces.
"Diamond Tiara! How could you say that about us? after all we did for you! To help you realize what your talent is? To help you with Silver Spoon? To help you change into a "Better" Pony?" Sweetie Belle shouted.
"B-but wait! This is a lie! I-I never said that about you guys I swear to Celestia! Please don't leave! I never said that stuff!" Diamond Tiara pleaded.
"Oh yeah? Remember the time when you made fun of me because I can't fly? I forgave you for that and now I take it back!" Scootaloo shook her head.
"Yeah! And our sisters are the Elements of Harmony! And by the way... We changed our mind about you." Apple Bloom whispered into Diamond Tiara's ear.
"W-what do you mean?" Diamond Tiara asked nervously, she hoped that they wouldn't say what she was predicting.
"We're done hanging out with you! So don't bother crawling back! Goodbye Diamond Tiara. And your not going to be a Crusader anymore!" Sweetie Belle shouted at her.
Diamond Tiara already felt the tears starting to form.
Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle left her with Silver Spoon, and disappeared in far distance.
Silver Spoon sighed and went up to Diamond Tiara, then she took a seat in front of her. Diamond Tiara didn't look at her, instead she looked down at the ground. Silver Spoon lifted her head up with her Hoof and smiled at her.
"Remember the election? And that you said you'd change into a better Pony? I really believed it for a second there Diamond! But even though you-" Silver Spoon started, but was cutoff by Diamond Tiara interrupting her saying,
"Wait Silver! Your all I have! I never said any of that! It's a fake recording"
Silver Spoon rolled her eyes and played the Tape again. She closed her friend's mouth and refused to let her speak any longer.
"I know... You must be pretty sorry for yourself because you don't have any friends... Not anymore! I'm never going to speak to you, or your family, or look at you, and don't even bother doing the same to me either. Cause we're done! Goodbye old friend." Silver Spoon finished.
She let go of Diamond Tiara's mouth and walked into the same direction her friends went, leaving Diamond Tiara alone.
Diamond Tiara was shocked at what happened. She just kept on thinking,
"No! NO! It can't be true! It just can't be! I regained their friendship and now it's gone now! This time forever! I never said any of that stuff! Someone faked my voice!"
She sighed and looked at the sky. Then she refused to hold back the tears. She let them out and she let her Heart crumble into pieces.
"WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME!" Diamond Tiara screamed.
She punched the ground until her Hoof started hurting. Then she went up to SugarCube Corner. And banged her head against the wall until her head started to hurt.
She even grabbed the Tiara off of her head and threw it at the ground as hard as she could. She stomped her Hoof on it until it was nothing but little pieces left.
Then the clouds started getting darker and covered all of Ponyville. It started to rain now. And Diamond Tiara didn't care anymore. All she did was look at the ground and cry her little heart out. She ignored the rain hitting her and she continued to sit there and cry alone...
Alone forever...
-------------------------------------------
Sun Glimmer already left before it started raining. She made it back to her friends and happily carried the camera using her magic to levitate it.
"Here it is guys! Your video as promised!" Sun Glimmer announced.
"Great job Sun Glimmer! Let's see it!" Lickety Split congratulated her.
Sun Glimmer gave Lickety Split the camera and he started the video on it. He showed his friends so that they could see it as well.
-------------------------------------------
When the video ended. He and his friends burst out in laughter. They celebrated their victory, all of them except for Lickety Split who laughed evilly.
"HA! We did it! Mission accomplished! However... We still have one last thing to do fella's." Lickety Split announced.
His friends stopped celebrating and listened to what he was going to say.
"Our last objective is to bully her now! Until she starts having thoughts about leaving Ponyville! Everypony hates her! So we're going to do that on Monday! You all with me?" Lickety Split explained.
"YEAH!" Everypony chanted.
