Chapter 9 Three Weeks To Long
Sweetie Belle's POV
"Can you believe this three weeks!?" I yelled as we walked to school and Diamond and Cord were sharing a pair headphones listening to music in front of us.
"Yea, but Babs is comin today." Apple Bloom said we hadn't seen her in a while so I guess that was good news. But in other news Ms. Cheerilee has started purposely pairing Diamond up with Cord for team building and projects.
"So what are we going to do about the love birds?" Scootaloo asked as we walked into the school.
"I don't know it's not like they're acting like Rarity or anything." I said which was true since I had seen my sister with a boyfriend the two weren't able to keep their hooves off each other both during the day and at night sometimes I had to stay with Apple Bloom when she had him over.
"Well that is true and they aren't up in any pony's face about it." Scootaloo said the two had become the talk of the school. Especially because Diamond had stopped picking on ponies. They sat in the back as Ms. Cheerilee walked in.
"Alright class let's get started." After school we ran to the train station where Babs was getting off.
"Hey." She said we took her to the music store first. We walked in to find Cord and Diamond putting CD's up.
"Wait Diamond?" Babs asked and Diamond looked at us.
"Um yeah. Babs right?" She asked in her new tone of voice which was softer and calm.
"What happened to ya?"
"I cut loose a bit." Diamond replied "This is my boyfriend Cord." She gestured to the colt who was struggling to reach the top shelf.
"Sweetie Belle a little help here." He asked and I levitated it to the top. "Thanks."
"Wait you got yourself a boyfriend how?" Babs was equally as shocked as the rest of the school still.
"Well we started hanging the week Sweetie Belle was out of school I saw him raising money to buy a ticket to the gala from Silver Spoon. We started talking at lunch I even helped him out a bit, then he helped me cut loose from being a snobby rich girl." She actually helped give him the money?
"Um not to be mean but it's an improvement." Scootaloo said
"Nice of you to think so." Diamond replied before continuing to work. We walked out of the store and Scootaloo had an idea.
"We should make Diamond a part of our club.' She stated and I began to laugh. "Seriously she's changed for the good."
"Besides Cord likes her." Apple Bloom replied
"Yeah so how do we know he's not under a changeling's spell?" I asked
"That's true." Apple Bloom replied and we came up with a plan Apple Bloom and Babs would ask a bunch of questions to Cord that would be things Diamond should know if she actually liked him and vice versa. We would then compare the answers and determine if Diamond is a changeling.
"Alright let's get her." Scootaloo said as we walked up to Diamond when she left work.
"Hey Diamond can we ask you a few things?" I asked
"Um yeah sure." She said
"Ok." Scootaloo said as we started walking together. "So how would you describe yourself?"
"Um what is this all about?" She asked
"Nothing." I replied
"I guess I would describe myself right now as I don't know maybe a rock girl." She replied this wasn't going to work so we moved onto questions about Cord.
"I'm sorry but what's this all about?" She asked we looked to each other for answers. "Look that stuff is between me and him."
"Alright we're sorry." I replied she didn't seem mad though and just walked up to her house.
"Well how are we supposed to find out now? I bet it's witchcraft." Scootaloo said but I stopped her and headed home. I woke up the next day and looked at myself in the mirror as Rarity did my mane. I wanted to get my cutie mark as soon as possible but we had tried everything by now. I walked to school and saw a sign for the talent show, and I grew an idea.
