More Capitalist Piglette shenanigans and chubby chasing lesbian Robinloo, as commissioned by FimFic-ZOMG
No secret identity is safe when one is distracted by thicc petty thief wife.
Diamond Tiara held her breath, attempting not to scream at the top of her lungs as the buildings and ponies of Ponyville whizzed by in a blur. Thoughts of horrible death due to crashing came to her mind. She briefly wondered why she would even subject herself to this madness. Until she looked at the pony who rode the scooter that pulled the wagon where she sat. Her messy purple hair blew in the wind. Her small, delicate, beautiful wings fluttered in a blur as they propelled the pair through the town. She gave off an aura of unshakable confidence no matter what challenge may stand before her. And somehow, this pony had earned Diamond Tiara's respect.
"Scootaloo" Diamond Tiara thought to herself. "I don't know why or when it happened. I don't know what it even is...but I want to be with you......." The scooter skidded to a stop, in front of their destination: The stage where, in one hour, the School Talent Show would be held. Diamond Tiara's thoughts drifted back to the previous week. The training. The constant aches and pains. The arguing, dear sweet Luna the arguing. And the best week that Diamond Tiara had ever had.
"Hey DT, you alive?" Scootaloo said, a look of worry on her face. "Come on, Miss Cheerilee's gonna announce the order everyone's gonna perform in." Diamond Tiara shook her head back and forth quickly, clearing her thoughts. Her gaze than met Scootaloo's eyes. "I'd go with you anywhere" Diamond Tiara thought. Than she opened her big mouth. "I'm perfectly capable of listening to somepony yap without you having to drag me there, dodo." She snarled.
Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "Well when you're done being a jerk, she said she would be backstage." Scootaloo than grabbed a pair of saddlebags from the wagon, threw them over her back, and plodded towards the stage, not bothering to look back.
"...why can't I ever just let the words I want to say to you loose? Why is it that I can feel so happy when you're around, but whenever I talk......" Diamond Tiara didn't move from the wagon, just staring off into space, lost in her thoughts. Every so often, she would become aware of a group of ponies heading towards the stage. Eventually, she sighed deeply, and gathered her own saddlebags, and too headed to the back of the stage which had been erected only that morning. The other ponies that she passed be ignored, and her them. "It's been a week. I've had a week to try to say something. ANYTHING. Yet all I've done is made you do an act you were against from the beginning, and only because you owe me a favor. We aren't closer to being friends. After tonight, we probably won't even talk to each other again....not that I blame you......if only I could find the words......."
"Hey DT!" a melodious voice broke her from her thoughts once again. "We gotta get into our costumes! Miss Cheerilee says we're gonna be up first!"
"What!?" was all DT could manage. "The pony who goes first NEVER wins the talent show! How will I win the show when most ponies will forget about my wonderful act by the time it comes time to decide who wins!?" 'and who will be able to see why you're even better than I am?'
"Don't worry. We've practiced hard this week. It doesn't matter when we perform. We're gonna be AWESOME!" Scootaloo flashed a confident smile at Diamond Tiara, causing her to blush (a blush she prayed Scootaloo wouldn't notice) "So come on! Let's get changed, head out there, and knock em dead!"
'Right....the two of us...together on stage....' "You're right! Everyone can see why I'm the most perfect of ponies! We'll win this whole thing!" 'and then I can finally give you that gift I've been meaning to give you all week.....

Comments by Kyronea:
You know, I read this story and I'm suddenly reminded of the relationship between Helga and Arnold from Hey Arnold!, where Helga acted as if she despised him in all of their interactions, while in secret she loved him and even worshiped a shrine she built to him. While Diamond Tiara's infatuation with Scootaloo isn't quite that extreme, it's still reminiscent. I enjoyed the touch with Scootaloo as well, because it's a nice departure from the usual Silver Spoon. Scootiara is an interesting ship, and I think you did a good job of submitting a story for it.
