My name is Silver Spoon, and as my name would suggest, I'm from a rich family, so I don't know much about the outside world. My best friend in the whole world is Diamond Tiara, ruler of the school. We were introduced by our parents when we were very small. We used to do everything together. That is, until I found out she was a bully. Everyday I get out of bed and get ready for school, just like everypony else, but I'm the only pony who wakes up knowing that soon, my best friend will turn me into a monster. But today was different. I didn't have the regretful feeling I get every other morning. I didn't know what was different, but I knew if I didn't stop Diamond Tiara now, I might never have another chance again. It took me a little while to get ready, since I couldn't find my glasses, but when I got to school, everything was so, so, weird. I sat down at my desk, and when I turned to pick up my pencil, somepony placed a small, metal spoon in front of me.
"What is this?" I stared at the spoon for a moment, before realizing there was a note taped to the back. It read:
Hey, Silver Spoon, what's going on with your cutie mark? It looks, different...
~ Diamond tiara
I looked down. My cutie mark, usually a silver spoon with a pink heart in the middle, was glowing brighter than the sun. Or, at least it looked like it was at the time. I took off my glasses, rubbed my eyes and looked back down at my strange cutie mark, well it was my cutie mark. The pink heart turned grey, like my fur. Then the spoon did the same, and the outline, and then- my cutie mark, was gone. Everypony gasped, I was so surprised I forgot to breathe, and Ms. Cheerilee was frozen with shock. I had turned into a blankflank, something I didn't know to be possible, but it happened. I had nothing on my flank, no heart, no spoon, nothing. Absolutely nothing.
