Snippet from Sycofear's Ponyfinder campaign. Scene featuring Skylight Scintillate, Dynamo Pad, Caramel Ripple, Forest Storm, Mango, and Frostbite. Takes place in the far future of FiM; Diamond Tiara is the mayor of Ponyville and had an affair with Apple Bloom. Lots of drama.

Author is half asleep at the time of posting. And only remembers what was typed in the chat during the game.

In the waiting room of Canterlot Castle, the bedraggled band of adventurers finds Snips and Snails, who come bearing a message from Diamond Tiara. Diamond wants to meet with them, but she won’t share the reason.

The ponies look at each other in surprise, considering their last meeting with her; Diamond was unrepentant in her affair with Apple Bloom, tearing the family apart, which certainly didn't cast her in a positive light.

However, this means nothing to Frostbite, who was absent during the group’s unfortunate encounter with the pony. He stares at Snips and Snails, unimpressed. “Who’s Diamond Tiara?”

The group ignores him in favor of the more pressing conversation. “Okay, why does Diamond Tiara need to be so secretive about what this is?” Skylight asks, frowning. “Why does she only want to tell us this face to face?”

Snips and Snails only shrug and say that Diamond would be most persuasive in person. “That’s how she does her best work, you know,” one of them says. Frostbite doesn’t remember who’s who.

The others are wholeheartedly unenthused by the thought of Diamond’s persuasiveness. “Oh, I think we've seen her work plenty enough,” Skylight mutters darkly.

Frostbite's head whips around, noticing the group’s matching expressions and feeling left out of something distinctly important. “Who’s Diamond Tiara??” he asks again, directly, no longer trying to keep the genuine inquiry out of his voice.

Skylight makes a face. It’s not a pleasant memory. “Oh, the mayor of Ponyville. She also does plenty of work around there.” If you know what I’m saying. 

Again with that tone, that suggests something hidden, something everypony else knows but Frostbite doesn’t. He hates the feeling. “What – what does that mean?” He can’t control the brittle tone of his voice.

It's a complicated mess, so Skylight turns to their friends. “Does somepony else want to explain what happened?”

If there’s one plus side to feeling offended, it’s that Frostbite feels like himself: upset and defensive and individualistic. He hasn’t felt that way since before the Door Demon.

Dynamo and Caramel, on the receiving end of Skylight’s question, mutter back and forth. Neither of them wants to talk about the affair, and Frostbite’s gaze ping-pongs between them, glower growing in magnitude. It’s almost a comforting normalcy.

“Well, you see, in a certain way, Diamond Tiara…” Caramel waffles awkwardly as the group leaves the room.

“Just say it!” Frostbite snaps.

The words burst from Skylight: “She ruined Apple Bloom!”

“Huh??”

The doors close behind them.
