You attempt to be a smart-rump, but as soon as you start to turn your head, Diamond Tiara whips you back around. A little painfully at that.

“She’s not going to tell anypony without my O.K. But that doesn’t mean I won’t. Another slip up like that and I’ll be spreading around more than just your delinquent desires.”

You swallow hard with a “gulp”.

Technically speaking, your parents are rich too. Maybe more so than Diamond Tiara’s; you don’t know. They just didn’t raise you to be a brat. Though she does seem to have an allowance, which you lack.

You comment on how glad you are to be spending some time with Diamond Tiara. Her face twists into clear disgust, but she doesn’t reply.

Strangely enough, you both arrive at Aunt Bon-Bon’s house. Continuing with this act you open the door and allow her entry. While she looks around you unleash Simple and he runs off.

“This place is filthy,” Diamond Tiara scowls. “Don’t you have a maid or anything?”

You tell her that Aunt Bon-Bon and Lyra can’t afford something like that, and she just shakes her head.

“Whatever. Look, you don’t want to get in trouble. So let’s make a deal.” Diamond Tiara turns away and her hateful, controlling demeanor seems to relax. For the moment, she almost looks like a normal kid.
“As you know, Silver Spoon’s birthday is tomorrow. I was going to get her something great, but I already spent my allowance, my back-up allowance, and my emergency allowance. Daddy says he won’t give me anymore money until this Saturday!”
She turns around, clearly upset. “Can you believe that?! I thought he was going to pay for it! Why should I have to pay for her present with my money anyway?! It’s so unfair!”
The outburst passes and she sits on her haunches and looks down. “Now I don’t have anything to give her at her party… I can not just not give her anything. You’ll help me, right?”
