Diamond had her stuffed parents set up at the fake tea table. Sweetie sat across from her, looking back and forth at the two dolls. "So, mom... dad..." said Diamond. "How about some tea?" she asked, sliding a cup to each of them. "Go on. Drink up." Sweetie eyed her and grinned. "You're really getting into this, aren't you?" "Well, they were jerks. I just needed to be with Rarity to see that." Sweetie nodded. "I see..." The Filthy doll fell back. "Oh, daddy," said Diamond, sitting him back up. "Sit up straight... just like you always told me." The doll did as told, keeping in place. "There ya go." She looked over at her mom doll. "How are you doing, mother?"

The doll's mouth had been sewed into an overly happy smile but a set of white hooves made her put a hoof to her chin as Rarity spoke. "I'm doing great, darling."

Diamond giggled. "That's nice to hear... mommy."

Rarity giggled as she popped her head out from behind the dolls. "Hey, there, dolly"

"Hey, better mother."

"You all having fun?" Sweetie and Diamond both smiled and nodded. "That's good."

"So, what's up, mom?" asked Diamond.

"Oh, nothing much... Just wanted so see how you two were doing."

Sweetie smiled. "Any new ponies you have in mind to beautify?"

"Well, there is this one..."

"Yes?" asked Sweetie, lighting up.

"But, this would be a me-only thing..."

"Oh... Okay. I understand."

"Yes. Now I must be off," Rarity called.

The foals nodded. "Have fun, sis," said Sweetie.

Rarity made her way to Sugarcube Corrner and headed inside. "Pinkie Pie!" she called.

There was a moment before a door opened and closed. The pink mare then appeared, heading down the stairs, sniffling. "Rarity. Hi."

"Dear, are you alright?"

Pinks went up to her and wiped her eyes. "It's Derpy. S-Something's... happened..."

"Oh, Pinkie... What is it?" Rarity asked, hugging the pink mare.

"Sh-She cut an X into her face... There was blood everywhere..." She closed her eyes as a few tears fell. "I barely got to her in time."

"Oh, the poor dear... Will she be okay?"

"Y-Yeah... Fluttershy gave me herbs to make the scarring fade slightly so it wont be too noticeable... Pinks headed over to the couch and sat down. "It's all my fault."

"Oh, Pinkie... Is there anything I could do for you to help?"

The pink mare sniffled again. "Truthfully? I just want Derpy to be okay."

"Well... I don't know anything that could do that..." Rarity said sadly.

"Shy said she'll be okay... and... I believe her... I have to believe her."

"Oh, you've been running yourself ragged haven't you?" the unicorn asked in a scolding tone.

"It's my fault, Rarity. She heard me say that your cuts made you look hot... She cut herself thinking that... I would think she was hot, too..." Tears filled her eyes. "She only did it because she loves me..." She sniffled and hung her head, crying softly.

Rarity pulled her into a hug. "It's not your fault... Things were just misunderstood..."

"B-But... I-I..."

Rarity put a hoof over Pinkamena's mouth. "No. Stop blaming yourself," she ordered. The pink mare looked at her with wet eyes. "It's not your fault, so stop tearing yourself apart." Pinks sniffled and wiped her eyes. Rarity smiled slightly. "That's better."

Pinks sniffled and smiled back. "Thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome, Pinkie."

"I've just been too caught up in my killing that I didn't realize how Derpy felt... But, when she gets better, I'll let her know how I feel, too."

"That's the Pinkie I know. Not Miss Mopey," Rarity said, patting the mare's back.

"It's just... It's Derpy, you know? Whether or not I love her back... she's been a really good and obedient pet."

"I know."

The pink mare sighed, seeming as though she's calmed down.

"Feel better now, darling."

"Yeah... But, I'm still worried."

"Oh, that's understandable."

Pinks nodded. "So... Why'd you come over, anyways?"

"Er... Well, I was here to take you up on your offer... To make you pretty..."

"Oh... I see... Only if I get to choose where and how. And you mustn't forget your end of the deal."

"Y... Yes. I remember... So which end do we do first?"

"Mmm... yours. Seeing as how I don't wanna get blood on you. It would ruin your nice fur, would it not?"

"Oh, my, it would!"

"So... Are you sure you're ready?"

"A-As I'll ever be..."

"Shall we move to my bedroom? Or will the couch suffice?"

"B... Bedroom, please."

"This way," said Pinks, heading towards the basement. She glanced up at Derpy's room briefly before heading down to the basement.

Rarity followed right behind.
