Diamond and Dazzle is a comedic slice-of-life comic series by MagerBlutooth. It follows the misadventures of Diamond Tiara and her pet kitty Dazzle. Many installments in the series are single-panel one-shots, but several—including the comic's first installment—are full-length comic strips.
Strips[]
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Tower | The first strip in the series. Diamond Tiara makes a tower of bits and calls her father over to come and see. Dazzle hops onto the desk, and Diamond thinks he's going to knock the tower over. He nuzzles Diamond's face and tickles her nose with his tail. Diamond sneezes and flies backward onto her bed. When Filthy Rich comes over, he thinks Dazzle was the one who made the tower of bits. An angered Diamond Tiara knocks the tower over herself. |
| Imp | Diamond Tiara has a one-sided conversation with the telephone, telling it that she's expecting an important phone call. Dazzle enters, but Diamond tells him she's busy. When Diamond momentarily leaves the room, Dazzle unplugs the phone line. When Diamond returns, the phone suddenly rings, to Diamond's delight and Dazzle's confusion. Diamond answers and, after a short conversation, hangs up. She goes to tell her parents that the ponies from Phone Owners called and want her to be on their show. Dazzle prepares to smash the phone, but it rings again. He answers, and a demonic voice on the other end tells him to leave a message for Diamond. |
| Sweets | Diamond is about to partake of a chocolate cake when Dazzle enters. Dazzle wants a piece, but Diamond keeps the whole cake for herself. Dazzle briefly leaves and returns wearing a cute dress and holding a sign that reads "Please?" Defeated, Diamond gives Dazzle the whole cake. |
| Fear | Diamond is unable to sleep due to a terrifying thunderstorm. The impish Dazzle wants to take a photo of her fright, but his conscience (manifesting as a small light-blue cat with wings) tries to dissuade him. When Dazzle ignores, his conscience jabs him with a pitchfork, and he zooms onto Diamond's head. Diamond, thinking Dazzle is also scared of the storm, allows him to sleep with her. Dazzle gives up and whisks off to sleep next to his owner. |
| Love | Diamond wakes Dazzle up from a catnap and holds him close. Dazzle, annoyed by the over-affection, pushes Diamond away. Diamond feigns sorrow at Dazzle's coldness and fakes a heart attack. An alarmed Dazzle is about to inject her with adrenaline, but Diamond assures him she's fine. Relieved, Dazzle hugs her and purrs (a sound Diamond never heard him make before). |
| Vet | Diamond takes Dazzle to the veterinarian Mane Goodall. Noticing Dazzle's tension and eye dilation, Goodall asks Diamond if he's been feeling any anxiety or distress and getting enough sleep. When the conversation shifts to Dazzle's diet, Goodall asks if he's been cutting down on the sugar. While Goodall's back is turned, Diamond and Dazzle try to sneak candy from a jar; Goodall catches them and says it's sugar-free. She tells Dazzle to eat more healthily for his follow-up exam the following week. When Diamond asks if that only applies to him, Goodall sees her off with a carrot. |
| Restaurant | Diamond, Dazzle, and Filthy Rich eat out at a fancy restaurant. Just before Dazzle uncouthly digs into his meal, Diamond "ahem"'s, prompting Dazzle to employ proper table manners. Filthy is impressed by his etiquette, and Diamond says she rubbed off on him. The waiter asks Filthy if he needs anything else; as he watches Diamond and Dazzle eat soup in the same manner, he asks the waiter to bring him a camera. |
| Vacation | Diamond and Dazzle wake up Filthy Rich and help him get ready for their family vacation. After a swift breakfast, the three go out and share in various fun activities like the beach, miniature golf, face painting, the aquarium, and the arcade. After a full day of fun, Filthy tucks Diamond and Dazzle into bed. Just before he leaves the room, Dazzle gives him a rolled-up piece of paper. It's a drawing of Diamond, Dazzle, and Filthy together, and it reads "LET'S DO THIS AGAIN, DAD - Diamond Tiara & Dazzle". |
| Privacy | In Diamond's bedroom, Diamond uses her computer and Dazzle writes in a book. Filthy Rich calls from the next room and reminds him to put away the dishes. As Dazzle leaves the room, Diamond sees Dazzle's diary on the bed and goes snooping. Dazzle returns, and Diamond expresses her displeasure that he hasn't written anything in his diary about her. Annoyed, Dazzle goes to Diamond's toy chest and fishes out a giant book labeled "Living with a Princess". However, the book is locked and Dazzle has the key. Diamond chases Dazzle through Ponyville as ponies look on in confusion. |
| Conflict | In the series' first ongoing storyline, Diamond serves Dazzle his late-night snack, giving him a choice between cat food and ice cream. When Dazzle picks the ice cream, Diamond scolds him, saying he's supposed to eat less sugar and is going to get her in trouble. When Dazzle ignores her, Diamond suddenly cries out, "You're a cat!" The commotion catches Filthy Rich's attention; he sees Diamond upside-down in the trash can and a feral-looking Dazzle chowing down on ice cream. When Diamond emerges from the trash can (with a scratch on her cheek), she takes Dazzle's collar and denounces him as her pet. She walks out of the kitchen, leaving Dazzle heartbroken.
In her bedroom, Diamond fumes that Dazzle isn't her perfect kitty all the time, stating that he was on the day she got him. |
| Glimpse (Part 1) | In a flashback to Diamond Tiara's birthday party several years prior, Diamond pretends to be a unicorn as Filthy gives her a present (Diamond quickly deducing from the air holes that it's a kitten). "Princess" Diamond Tiara "liberates" the kitten from the box and is shocked to discover him acting like a dog. |
| Glimpse (Part 2) | When Diamond asks her father about the kitten's behavior, Filthy explains that he was the only kitten in a shelter full of dogs and has never even tasted cat food. Diamond is displeased by the present but changes her tune somewhat when the kitten gives her a paddle ball. |
| Glimpse (Part 3) | Filthy says he doesn't understand Diamond's dissatisfaction, saying the kitten meets all the criteria for her ideal pet and already likes her. When Diamond asks if she can go to her room, her mother holding the video camera gives her her last birthday present. Diamond unwraps it excitedly but is confused to find a physical diamond tiara, claiming that wearing it will negatively impact her image. At that moment, the video camera's battery dies. |
| Glimpse (Part 4) | Filthy asks why Diamond is so displeased with her pet, and Diamond says that there's nothing special about owning a dog. She says she wanted a kitty that was different from others—a kitty that was one-of-a-kind. When Filthy tells her to at least give him a chance, Diamond does just that: in a game show-like environment, Diamond gives the kitten six seconds to prove he can be her perfect kitty. Dazzle is unsure of what to do and starts chasing his tail, much to Diamond's frustration. |
| Glimpse (Part 5) | Filthy calls the pony he got the kitten from on the telephone and sees about returning him. Diamond overhears this and suddenly doesn't want to get rid of the kitten. She shows her father a storybook about a spoiled girl who throws away every present she's given in the garbage. A witch places a curse on the girl that causes her to shrink in size whenever she acts ungrateful. Eventually she becomes so small that her servants mistake her for a bread crumb and throw her in the garbage. Not wanting to be a copycat, Diamond resolves to make the kitten into her perfect pet. |
| Resolution | Back in present day, Diamond wakes up from a bad dream. She goes out into the hallway and finds a sad-looking Dazzle. Upon noticing Diamond and wanting to make her happy, Dazzle eats the cat food that she wanted him to eat earlier. However, having a distaste for cat food, Dazzle immediately throws up.
As the two wash up in the bathroom, Diamond tells Dazzle that when she first got him, she was going to turn him into her perfect kitty. But she realizes now that Dazzle had always been her perfect kitty. Dazzle cries tears of joy and licks Diamond's face, and Filthy watches the heartwarming scene from the bathroom door. |
| Fortune | Diamond Tiara has her fortune read by an off-panel fortuneteller while Dazzle attempts to court Rarity's cat Opalescence in the background. The fortuneteller incorrectly guesses Diamond's name as "Girlie Crown" and makes several nondescript predictions about her future. Diamond is disbelieving of the fortuneteller's skills and claims her cat could hack up a better fortune. The fortuneteller calls Diamond's bluff and transforms her into a cat.
Dazzle becomes smitten with the transformed Diamond, and the fortuneteller says he'll change her back if she apologizes. Before Dazzle tries to get intimate with her, Diamond writes out an apology to the fortuneteller (revealed to be Discord). Meanwhile, a vengeful Opal prepares a Dazzle-resembling voodoo doll in the background. |
| Session | In a session with pet psychologist Twilight Velvet, Diamond chats with Velvet about Twilight Sparkle and fantasizes about becoming an Alicorn princess. In the background, Dazzle is stirred from a nap when a mouse jumps into his mouth. When Diamond and Velvet notice him licking Diamond's tail to get the taste of mouse out of his mouth, Diamond dreads the thought of having a kitty that takes "special pills".
For the next therapy exercise, Velvet has Diamond and Dazzle draw pictures of the two of them together. When Diamond submits a picture that is less than flattering of Dazzle, Dazzle steals Diamond's tiara. As Diamond chases him out the window. Velvet looks at Dazzle's picture; she notices that he drew Diamond with much more detail than how he drew himself. |
| Selection | In a continuation of the Choice one-shot, Diamond is once again asked by a purple imp to choose between her voice, her cutie mark, her tiara, and Dazzle. She defiantly chooses Dazzle, much to the imp's chagrin. Dazzle is released from his bubble and scampers over to lovingly embrace Diamond. Dazzle's smile fades as he places his paws on Diamond's head to find the absent tiara, and his attention turns back to the imp, who has pulled out a cell phone and begun to walk away.
Dazzle pulls out his claws and manages to behead the imp and get the rest of Diamond's possessions back, though he ends up with a black eye and a knot in his tail as a result. The bodyless imp complains to an unknown entity on its cell phone about being misinformed about Diamond not having a heart. |
| Message | A waiter brings Princess Twilight a sandwich for lunch when Dazzle hops onto the table. As Twilight is determined to keep the sandwich away from Dazzle, Dazzle presents her with a note from Diamond. In it, Diamond apologizes to Twilight for Dazzle eating her lunch over the past three days. To make up for Dazzle's misbehavior, Diamond has him do tricks for Twilight while she eats.
Twilight looks to Dazzle expecting a trick. As Dazzle distracts Twilight with a ball, he makes off with her sandwich and runs up a tree. Diamond pops out from under Twilight's table and tells Twilight to give her a horn and wings so she can get the sandwich back. Twilight immediately sees through their ruse and casts a mustache spell on them as punishment. Later, Diamond is thrilled at having "number twenty-five" cast on her and entertains the notion of pulling a similar trick during Twilight's dinner. |
| Education | Diamond Tiara, with Fluttershy's help, puts on a mock performance in which Fluttershy is dressed like a liver, in an effort to get Dazzle to eat more healthily. Diamond tells Dazzle to pause his computer game and has him come over to see Fluttershy (with the assurance that Angel Bunny isn't with her).
Dazzle sees Fluttershy dressed as a liver and nibbles on her ear. Diamond suddenly thinks Fluttershy is trying to steal Dazzle from her. To retaliate, she dresses up in a chocolate bar costume and waffle cone hat to steal Dazzle back, but Dazzle sees through the ruse. Later, Fluttershy serves Dazzle a plate of real liver. When Diamond is disappointed that Dazzle favors Fluttershy over her, Dazzle kisses her on the cheek. |
| Cinema | Diamond and Dazzle go to the movies; as Diamond goes to buy the tickets, she gives Dazzle some bits to buy snacks. Dazzle approaches the concession stand, but the cashier Candy Mane tells him that Spike bought the last box of Peanut Butter Beepies. Dazzle gives Spike a sad pout in an effort to extort the candy from him, but Spike refuses to give them up.
When Diamond returns with the tickets, she sees Spike feeding candy to Dazzle, having succumbed to his puppy dog-like begging. Diamond tries to coerce Spike further; not wanting to see the movie that Dazzle wants to see, she asks Spike to see the movie with him. Spike refuses again, but he changes his mind when Diamond offers to pay for his snacks. Later, in the theater, Spike drools heavily at the movie Three Hours of Looking at Cakes II. The usher Mr. Waddle comes over and, thinking Spike is Dazzle's pet, asks Dazzle to calm him down. |
| Adventure (Prologue) | Second story arc. Diamond and Dazzle play a video game together, and Diamond gets annoyed when Dazzle rushes through the level instead of collecting the bonus points. As Diamond tries to grab the controller away from Dazzle, he beats the game and gets the MVP achievement. Diamond calls Dazzle a showoff, and Dazzle makes fun of her.
All of a sudden, a pair of hands reach out from the television screen and pull Diamond and Dazzle inside, beginning their "adventure". |
| Adventure (Arrival) | Diamond and Dazzle are transported into the game they were playing. As Diamond prods Dazzle for an explanation (and laments that she's only level 1), a level 3 fish monster appears. Dazzle drools at the sight of the monster. Diamond berates him for his gluttony, causing her to miss a quick time event, and the fish monster eats them.
An off-panel voice expresses disdain for this adventure's "chosen heroes". |
| Adventure (Complication) | Inside the fish monster, Diamond continues to berate Dazzle for the situation they're in. When she insults him by calling him bad luck, a mortified Dazzle continually scratches at Diamond, causing minuscule damage.
Suddenly, a robot appears from the shadows and zaps Diamond and Dazzle with a laser beam. The beam imprints a strange mark on their bodies and also switches their minds. |
| Adventure (Motivation) | Diamond (in Dazzle's body) snaps at the robot for switching her and Dazzle's minds as well as imprinting them with a "hex". The robot only says it marked the "chosen heroes" for the final boss. Behind them, an individual that looks like a mix between Discord and Mr. Game & Watch watches them in secret.
When the robot mentions that the final boss called Diamond and Dazzle "lacking in intelligence" and "rotund", an enraged Diamond decides to go after the final boss and teach him a lesson. Just before they set out, Dazzle (in Diamond's body) takes his collar back, and Diamond refuses to let him wear it, worried about how it would make her look. |
| Adventure (World 1) | As Diamond wonders about the "chosen hero" marks imprinted on her and Dazzle's bodies, they're attacked by a group of low-level enemies. Diamond is confident that she can take them on, but Dazzle's stats are far too low, much to his embarrassment. Diamond initiates an escape and drags Dazzle off to gain some experience points.
Unfortunately, Dazzle is too weak or cowardly to even take on a Waddle Dee, a Luvdisc, a bandit, Glass Joe, or a sandbag. |
| Adventure (World 2) | Because of her high experience level over Dazzle, Diamond takes the lead in their adventure and uses Dazzle as a mount, much to his humiliation. The two stop in a bazaar to buy drinks, but Diamond fails the charisma check at a drink stand, causing the owner Redd to alert Blastoise security.
Blastoise seizes Diamond, and Redd offers to sell her back to Dazzle. Passing the charisma check, Dazzle takes the opportunity to pay Diamond back for his earlier humiliation by dressing her up in a red bow and booties. |
| Adventure (World 3) | As Dazzle takes amusement in Diamond's struggle to remove her booties, Diamond suggests that the low-leveled Dazzle tame a monster to fight battles for him. He fishes a monstrous fish out of the sea and runs away in fright, and Diamond's booties prevent her from fighting it off with her cat claws.
Luckily, when Diamond catches a whiff of the fish's appetizing scent, she learns a new skill and defeats the fish with a 97-hit Chomp Combo. |
| Adventure (World 4) | Diamond continues to bemoan her chubby, stubby-legged kitty body as she and Dazzle approach the end of the level they're in. Dazzle suddenly speeds through the end of the level as well as several levels after, skipping enemy mobs and valuables along the way, and Diamond struggles to keep up.
However, in one ice level, Dazzle slips into a icy pond, freezing the lower half of his body in ice. Diamond scolds him for being a showoff and promises to thaw him out with a Fire Flower if he behaves. |
| Adventure (World 5) | Diamond and Dazzle, now advancing at a more leisurely pace, reach a forest level. Diamond spots a barrel and climbs inside to see what treasures it holds, but it suddenly shoots her out and into a log.
Diamond calls out to Dazzle for help getting out of the log, and Dazzle enlists a Mamuta to assist. However, the Mamuta simply shoves him into another log and uses the two for floral arrangement, much to Diamond's chagrin. |
| Adventure (World 6) | Six worlds into the game, Dazzle is still only at level 8, with Diamond putting him down as they progress. Distressed, Dazzle runs off toward a Tetris L-block. He trips a security system and gets slammed into a bottomless pit.
Diamond, having Dazzle's emotional sensibilities, grieves over Dazzle's apparent death... until a suction tube spits him out. Relieved, Diamond licks Dazzle's face, much to her own embarrassment. |
| Adventure (World 7) | By the time they reach a cloud level, Diamond and Dazzle are demonstrating more teamwork. Unfortunately, it's an automatic screen-scrolling level, prompting the two to rush through as quickly as they can and miss out on EXP and valuables.
When they finally reach the end of the level, a shaman appears and asks them if they want to try and beat their best time. Diamond and Dazzle throw him over the clouds in frustration. |
| Adventure (World 8) | Diamond and Dazzle finally reach the final boss's room, and a Goomba steps out of the shadows. Wearing a Diamond and Dazzle cap and having a wall of video feeds showing highlights of their adventures, the Goomba says he is their biggest fan. Diamond happily signs an autograph for him, but Dazzle senses that he might be Discord in disguise.
The Goomba asks how Diamond and Dazzle are such good friends after everything they've been through together. Dazzle pulls Diamond away from the Goomba, and before Diamond can answer his question, he returns the two to their original bodies. However, Diamond still doesn't have her cutie mark, as the Goomba takes both her cutie mark and Dazzle for his "collection." |
| Audition | Diamond Tiara makes an audition tape to be cast in the next season of a television show called Pony & Pet. As she talks at length about herself, Dazzle ties a string to her tail. She then talks about her "perfect kitty" and tells Dazzle to show his talents for the camera. Dazzle presses a button on a remote, causing Diamond to be yanked off-camera by her tail.
With Diamond gone, Dazzle holds a card up to the camera that reads "I'm also single, ladies." Diamond, not to be upstaged, gets into a tussle with Dazzle that briefly interrupts the video. When the recording resumes, Diamond—looking messy—concludes the video. Dazzle holds up a sign that reads "CALL ME", and Diamond tells the viewer not to call him. |
| Adventure (Trivia) | The Goomba forces Diamond to choose between her cutie mark and Dazzle. Diamond, having become tired of this bit, immediately chooses Dazzle. However, the Goomba refuses to release Dazzle, saying he knows everything about him. When Diamond argues the same, the Goomba has her prove it in a quiz game.
Diamond utterly fails the quiz, particularly due to the questions' bizarre selection of answers. Diamond demands that the Goomba ask something about Dazzle that actually matters. He asks "What type of animal is Dazzle?" Without thinking, Diamond answers "cat". Before she can correct herself, the Goomba releases Dazzle, and Dazzle—the game's true final boss—attacks Diamond. |
| Adventure (Boss) | Diamond faces off against an enraged Dazzle, and as a result of returning to their original bodies, Dazzle is now at a much higher level than Diamond. Diamond tries to apologize for calling Dazzle a cat, but Dazzle attacks her, dropping her HP to zero in one hit.
As Diamond appears to have died, Dazzle comes to his senses and realizes what he's done. The Goomba congratulates Dazzle for proving he's the better gamer, and a saddened Dazzle squashes him in a rage. The Goomba sheds his physical body, revealing a Boo. Holding Diamond's tiara, the Boo asks Dazzle how much an extra life is worth to him. |
| Adventure (Respawn) | Some time later, Diamond awakens in a bed, being cared for by a Toad wearing glasses. When Diamond him asks about Dazzle, Dazzle meows on the nearby carpet, and the Toad explains that he "cured" him.
The Toad explains that when he found the angered Dazzle next to Diamond's body, he gave Dazzle a fish, and Dazzle wagged his tail like a puppy. Due to the fish's magical properties, Dazzle was tamed to act like a normal housecat. This explanation doesn't satisfy Diamond, however, as Dazzle hasn't wagged his tail since Diamond first gave him his collar. Diamond demands the truth, and the Toad takes off his glasses, deciding to tell Diamond everything. |
| Adventure (Revelation) | The Toad transports Diamond and Dazzle to an empty, pixelated space and reveals himself as the keeper of the game—the one who summoned the "chosen heroes". He is aware that he exists in a world that isn't real, but he takes joy in providing adventures and granting wishes for those who are real. However, soon after he brought Diamond and Dazzle into the game, a virus took control and locked him out.
Diamond says she never wished for Dazzle to be a normal kitty, and the Toad explains it was Dazzle's wish. When he first appeared before Dazzle, he saw a sadness and desire to be a normal cat in his eyes. Diamond tells the Toad to turn Dazzle back to normal, but the Toad is unable to because the game is over. He is about to eject the two from the game, but despite Diamond's claims that she likes Dazzle better this way, she cries. Having spent the entire adventure in her kitty's body, Diamond comes to understand how much she loves Dazzle and wants him to be his usual, goofy, non-cat-like self. Annoyed, the Toad complies with Diamond's request before ejecting them from the game. The Boo returns in a Yoshi body, and the Toad asks him if he got Dazzle's signature. The Yoshi reveals a contract that Dazzle apparently signed, and the Toad takes off his mask to reveal the imp from "Choice"/"Selection". |
| Adventure (Epilogue) | Two days later, Diamond's life has more or less returned to normal. She no longer has her cutie mark, but she resolves to get used to it. In Diamond's room, Dazzle suffers payback for the humiliation he put Diamond through in "Adventure (World 2)". Diamond releases Dazzle from his punishment, and he licks her face, having also returned to normal.
Dazzle feels guilty for Diamond losing her cutie mark, but Diamond says it was her choice. Though she hides her sorrow over it, she doesn't want to hear another word about it. In an effort to cheer Diamond up, Dazzle suggests they play a video game together, and Diamond accepts his challenge. |
| Visitor | Dazzle bakes a cake for Diamond, but Peal sneaks in through a window and eats it. Annoyed, Dazzle alerts Diamond. Diamond greets Peal, and Peal gives her a note from her Aunt Spoiled asking her to take care of Peal for her until she arrives to Ponyville.
Diamond is oblivious to Dazzle's objections to letting Peal stay. When Diamond leaves the two kitties alone, Peal grades Dazzle's cake a C-minus. Before Dazzle can protest, Peal distracts him with scratches behind the ear and belly rubs. |
| Sugar | Diamond, Dazzle, and Peal arrive at Sugarcube Corner to meet with Silver Spoon. A couple of fillies giggle at something, earning a growl from Dazzle, who thinks they're laughing at Diamond's cutie mark. Peal restrains him as Silver calls Diamond over to her table.
Silver wants to know more about Diamond and Dazzle's recent adventure, but Diamond remains silent. Sensing her bad mood, Silver offers to have a sleepover to introduce Peal to her pets and cheer up Diamond. Diamond takes offense, suspecting Silver of pitying her, though she agrees to the idea of the sleepover. Silver then promises to make Diamond and her pets "sunnier than Pinkie Pie." |
| Load | Before the sleepover begins, Dazzle is napping beside the phone. Diamond chastises him for skipping his nap time and heads off to make him some wake-up food. As she leaves, the hand from Imp emerges from the phone again unbeknownst to everyone. It grabs Peal by mistake and tries to pull her through the phone. Unsuccessful, the Imp emerges from the television wearing a red version of Dazzle's collar. He says he has big plans for Dazzle and holds up a small scroll. Before he can do anything else, Diamond comes in with a smoothie for Dazzle. The Imp turns into a cat to hide his identity, though Peal knows something's up. |
| Embrace | Silver arrives for the sleepover, immediately gushing over how cute and dog-like the Imp cat is, comparing him to Dazzle. She names him 'Illy' after what's written on his collar. Peal tries to keep Dazzle from playing with Illy, but Diamond drags her away to introduce her to Silver's pets. Peal is terrified by Imperius while Iggy is terrified by Peal. |
| Entertainment | After the chaos resulting from the pets meeting, Peal is taken to Dazzle's room to calm down. Silver uses this opportunity to put her plan into action by offering Diamond a chance to try out Iggy's virtual helmet. Illy shows suspicion, so Silver convinces Dazzle to leave so that Illy can keep him occupied. She tells Iggy to make sure Diamond stays distracted with the helmet and sends Imperius to keep an eye on Peal while she tends to other matters. |
| Ploy | Returning from the kitchen, Dazzle encounters Illy in the hallway. Illy shoves the scroll from before into Dazzle's mouth, which squeaks and makes him more dog-like. He leads Dazzle away as Imperius enters Dazzle's room to check on Peal. Once inside, Imperius is caught in a trap Peal set, which snaps as Peal tries to run past him, sending him crashing down on her. Iggy hears something inside the room as he and Diamond run past. He opens the door to find Imperius nursing a dizzy and injured Peal. Discord can be seen in one of the portraits on the wall. |
| Overload | Silver rummages through the kitchen drawers and finds a knife before Diamond runs by wearing her helmet and some horseshoes. Silver takes one of the horseshoes, not noticing as Discord gives Diamond some whiskers and paws. Silver is startled as she runs into Dazzle, trying to make up an excuse for him to leave her alone until he licks her face. She comments that it's the first time he's ever licked her and becomes overjoyed as she believes that they're friends now. She says she'll bring him a big cupcake, causing him to revert to his normal self again. Illy stuffs the scroll into his mouth again, turning him even more dog-like and getting his tail to wag. Illy's eye appears to record Dazzle's behavior. |
| Void | Peal receives a rude awakening as Iggy throws a bucket of water on her. The two accuse each other of malicious behavior until Imperius gets their attention, alerting them to Dazzle's presence. Peal is horrified to see Dazzle acting like a dog.
Silver walks by with her cupcake and comes across a kitty-turned Diamond after being distracted by a candelabra. She fears that Diamond is collecting cats to fill the void of her missing cutie mark and throws Diamond out the window, running to warn Filthy Rich. |
| Envoy | Kitty Diamond realizes she's no longer wearing the virtual helmet as she makes her way back inside. Worried about Dazzle flirting with her, Diamond tries to sneak in the window only to freak out when she sees Dazzle's transformation, demanding to know who's responsible.
Illy enters the room informing her that dogs can't speak cat and that they can now have a private conversation as the only two cats left. Peal gives him an annoyed look, prompting him to squeak his scroll again, making Dazzle attack Peal and scare her off. Imperius and Iggy give chase, and Illy stops Diamond so they can have a discussion. |
| Roundup | Dazzle continues chasing after Peal, biting off the tip of her tail and scaring her onto a light fixture. Before he can bite her again, she is saved by Imperius who ends up with his own tail tip bitten off as well. Iggy throws some cookies at Dazzle to hold him off, which also happen to turn him back to normal.
Meanwhile, Illy offers Diamond two wishes in exchange for Dazzle, but Diamond turns him down. Illy says he'll have to re-purpose the wishes and leaves, only for Filthy to kick him out. Discord turns Diamond back to normal before her dad sees anything. |
| Sleepover | Diamond dreads the idea of telling her aunt what happened to Peal, and Silver tries to lighten the mood. Diamond informs Silver that she's aware Silver was up to something and wants to know what it was. Silver admits to planning a big surprise, and Diamond suggests she can try again tomorrow. Peal attacks her after she suggests this.
From an unknown location, the Imp gets out of the shower as he and Discord watch the events taking place at Diamond's house. It's revealed that the Imp has Discord has some kind of contract and that Discord owes the Imp two more wishes. The Imp also says he's not done with Diamond and Dazzle yet. |
| Warmth | Diamond, Dazzle, Silver, and Imperius return from a wintertime musical, talking about how terrible it was, Diamond being particularly irate. Dazzle, having enjoyed himself greatly, sneezes on his dress, earning his owner's scorn. She finds he has a fever and begins simultaneously nurturing him to help cure his cold and punishing him for playing too long in the snow. After Dazzle burns his tongue on the soup she made him, she decides to tone it down a bit by letting him watch a program on TV if he behaves. Diamond flees as Dazzle tries to thank her with 'puppy kisses'. |
| Besties | Diamond confronts Dazzle and Peal in a dark room underneath a spotlight after they draw on each other in embarrassing ways. As punishment, she forces them to stay in the room until they become 'besties', leaving them alone together. Though they ignore each other at first, Dazzle gets a mischievous idea and leaps onto Peal's bed. He stops Peal from attacking him by threatening to relieve himself on it, then wants to hear her say something (possibly beg him to get off or bark like a dog). Much his surprise, Peal lets out a small squeak instead, and though he starts to laugh at first, he cannot continue as he sees her start to cry. Diamond returns with beverages to find Peal sobbing in Dazzles' embrace. When she asks what's wrong, Dazzle starts crying too. |
| Friendship | Filthy finds Peal gazing somberly at her reflection, snatching her up and taking her to his chair. He tells her about when he first met her and how surprised he was at how small and timid she was. However, everything changed after her first encounter with Dazzle, and she started toughening up ever since. Though Dazzle just wanted to play puppy games with her, Peal began to use him to get more food until finally Dazzle was fed up with her. Filthy compliments Peal on her strength and thanks her for "looking out for Dazzle" before falling asleep. As Peal leaves the room, she stumbles across Dazzle, not sure how to respond after reflecting on Filthy's story. She reacts in shock and horror as she finds out Dazzle has shaved off the end of his own tail to match Peal's. Moved by Dazzle's selfless act, Peal finally drops her sense of superiority and agrees to play Dazzle's games, much to Dazzle's immense delight. The two gleefully chase each other's tails as Diamond looks on in confusion. |
| Tail | Dazzle takes Peal to Sugarcube Corner to help her get over her self-esteem issues regarding her shaved tail. After removing the sock covering it and nudging her forward, Dazzle gets Peal to calm down until Mr. Cake picks her up. Though she's originally terrified, Dazzle shows some tough love and forces her to face her fear. After Mr. Cake notices her tail and shows his wife, Mrs. Cake notices Peal's distress and sets the kitty down beside Pound and Pumpkin Cake. The two foals embrace Peal and immediately begin playing with her, and Dazzle watches proudly as Peal starts to have fun with them. His pride turns to shock and regret as Peal and the foals are offered a great deal of cake. |
| Wingman | Peal visits the Carousel Boutique in an attempt to convince Opal to give Dazzle a chance. Before she can make her move, Opal notices Peal's tail and drags her inside to cover it up. Peal tries to sneak Dazzle into the conversation, but Opal only laughs and begins mocking Dazzle's sloppy nature, doglike behavior, and feminine dressing habits. Peal can't help but laugh as Opal openly does a mocking impression of him, only to find Dazzle standing right behind them in a particularly girly outfit with cookie crumbs all over his face. Dazzle snaps and walks off, the two girl kitties finding it difficult to look away as he leaves. |
| Countdown | Filthy is playing chess with Randolph when Peal comes in with a mug for him. Filthy tells Randolph to take a break as Peal climbs onto Filthy's lap. Diamond brings in Dazzle, informing her dad that Dazzle snuck a pair of pants onto her backside while she was sleeping and took pictures. Filthy casually reprimands Dazzle and takes a drink from his mug, realizing it's full of dirt. Realizing Dazzle is being a bad influence on Peal, Diamond drags Dazzle off to lecture him about good manners. Before she can leave, her dad informs her that her Aunt Spoiled will finally arrive soon. |
| Fashion | Looking rather nervous, Diamond dresses Peal up in a fancy dress in preparation of Aunt Spoiled's arrival, with Peal being clearly uncomfortable wearing it. After Diamond leaves to dress up Dazzle, a mouse crawls into the room, prompting Peal to chase after it. She chases it into the closet, completely ruining her dress during the chase and getting knocked out by the mouse's friends. The mouse feels guilty about ruining her dress and gets inspired after finding a trading card stored away in Peal's tail.
Still nervous, Diamond tells Dazzle to go get Peal, and a banana knocks off her tiara from above. She and Dazzle look up the stairs to find Peal dressed up as a ninja with the mouse on her shoulder as her 'sidekick'. |
| Introduction | Diamond tries to reason with Peal and get her to change back into something more appropriate, but Peal uncharacteristically refuses to comply. Realizing Dazzle's completely corrupted her, Diamond threatens to tell Aunt Spoiled what a troublemaker Peal's become, immediately changing her tune as she hears the doorbell. She stops Randolph from answering it but cannot do the same as Filthy opens it to greet his sister. Spoiled responds to him coldly and formally, giving his tie a "D+" as she nonchalantly walks past him. Dazzle tries to stall for Diamond by looking cute, but Spoiled passes him by as well due to the mouse hair on Dazzle's dress that resulted from him trying to dispose of Peal's sidekick. Spoiled finds a nervous-looking Diamond standing next to a box and asks her where Peal is. Before Diamond can respond, Peal leaps out, revealing her ninja outfit and shaved tail. Spoiled is pleased. |
| Shock | Diamond doesn't understand why her Aunt Spoiled is comfortable with Peal's tail and attire, demanding to receive punishment for her negligence. Aunt Spoiled shrugs it off, insisting Peal's fur will grow back and encouraging Peal to make the most of her costume. As Filthy asks Spoiled if she will be staying long, Spoiled returns to her cold demeanor and says she only plans to critique Sugarcube Corner and leave. Diamond is flabbergasted that Spoiled plans to take Peal out in public when she's dressed like that, but Spoiled continues to encourage Peal's choice of attire, even letting her kitty cover her hair in banana. Spoiled tries to explain how pets rub off on their owners, as Dazzle jumps into Diamond's lap. Filthy tries once again to convince his sister to stay a little longer by pointing out how Dazzle and Peal recently became friends, but after he calls her 'Blankie', her demeanor completely changes into one that's aggressive and childish. Spoiled calls Filthy by his first name several times, reminding him that she changed her name to Spoiled Surprise. In her frustration, she smashes the television, electrocuting herself and Peal. After recovering, she decides to calm down. |
| Resolve | Filthy tells Diamond to help Spoiled find a new outfit after the incident with the television. Diamond is appalled to find that Spoiled and Peal have both changed into outfits that Diamond finds to be inappropriate to wear in public. As Spoiled prepares to head outside, Silver arrives with Imperius and Iggy. Iggy immediately falls head over heels for Spoiled, leaping onto her head and messing up her hair. Spoiled bursts into tears as Peal tries to console her. Silver asks Diamond if she wants to go to a party Pinkie is throwing, and Dazzle appears on Diamond's head in excitement. After Silver makes a comment about how close Diamond and Dazzle are, Diamond lashes out and throws Dazzle in his carrier. Diamond says that she can do things without Dazzle and storms outside. Silver, thinking Diamond's still upset about missing her cuite mark, resolves herself to help her friend, promising that this time she'll succeed. |
| Carrier | Dazzle is bored in his carrier so goes deeper into it, revealing he has an entire playground inside, with Randolph staffed to cater to him. |
| Persistence | Silver ropes Iggy, Imperius, Peal, and Dazzle into helping with her plan, letting Dazzle out of his carrier. Meanwhile, Filthy Rich finds his sister moping in a dark room. He asks if there is a problem between the two of them, and she denies it, once again becoming angry when he calls her "Blankie". Before Filthy can inquire further, the doorbell rings. As Filthy answers it, he greets a blue imp dressed in a red hat and overalls named Handy. |
| Crime | Filthy talks with Handy about his personal problems and introduces him to Spoiled. Spoiled claims that she doesn't see anyone. Feeling awkward, FIlthy leaves to show Handy the television. Diamond and Silver come back from Pinkie's party, and Silver spots the signal from the pets that their plan is ready. Silver says she senses something is wrong and runs into the house to "discover" that Randolph has been murdered. She claims that either Dazzle, Peal, Imperius, or Iggy must be the culprit, and she challenges Diamond to solve the case. (Case solved in the Detective Diamond miniseries). |
| Fact | Silver congratulates Diamond for solving the case and tells her that she's still amazing even without her cutie mark. Diamond realizes Silver did all this because of the missing cutie mark and calls Silver out on it. Silver tries to pin the blame on Dazzle, and Diamond opens up a little about her true feelings, saying she feels like something is missing because of it. Hearing her say this, Dazzle rushes up to hug her, and Diamond accepts the hug. Just as Diamond is about to say something to Silver, a floating toolbox enters, and Diamond introduces Silver to "Handy", Diamond's godfather. |
| Breath | After Silver admits she can't see Handy, Diamond and Dazzle realize Silver has never played a video game. Diamond lends Silver one of her own video games and tells Silver to play it. With great hesitation, Silver starts playing the game and gets some instruction from Handy, immediately freaking out upon seeing him. As Silver runs away screaming, Diamond spots Dazzle eating some pizza and criticizes him for straying from his diet. Dazzle 'dazzles' her and she relents, saying they'll go for a walk to make it up. As he grabs the leash, Diamond freaks out. She collects herself and tells Dazzle he doesn't need a leash anymore, guiding him outside. Diamond takes Dazzle out, leaving Handy alone with the screaming Silver as he plays her video game. |
| Weakness | On their walk, Dazzle goes on a feeding frenzy at one of the stalls, and Diamond lectures him about it, telling him he needs to start thinking seriously about his eating habits. As she spots him trying to lick ice cream off the ground, she brings up his long-held desire to find a romantic partner. She says he will be more appealing to the lady cats if he has a healthy weight and asks him to choose between eating sweets and finding a girlfriend. He chooses the latter and smacks the candy away, prompting Diamond to send Dazzle off by doing a few laps around the marketplace. As he runs off, he immediately spots a giant cake on display. A short while later, the marketplace is on fire, and Diamond is being chastised for not keeping Dazzle on a leash. As they walk away, Diamond insists to Dazzle that he doesn't need a leash, accidentally saying she doesn't need one instead. She tries to change the subject as they head home to get dinner. |
| Dinner | Silver, Filthy, Handy, Diamond, and Dazzle have gathered around the dinner table. Dazzle is still hungry and eating everyone else's (somewhat odd-looking) food. Diamond is upset about something, prompting Filthy to ask what is wrong. Diamond insists nothing is wrong, but Filthy doesn't believe her, saying she can go upstairs and join Aunt Spoiled if she wants. Silver notes how close Peal must be to Spoiled if she's willing to skip dinner for her owner, and Diamond makes a sarcastic remark about it. Silver suggests Dazzle go upstairs to cheer up Spoiled, but Dazzle attacks her as she gets too close. Silver asks Diamond why he loves her so much even though he can't stand Silver, and Diamond quickly says it's all just food. Randolph comes in and informs Filthy about Diamond and Dazzle's antics at the marketplace. He tells everyone who hasn't set a town on fire today to leave, and only Diamond, Dazzle, and Handy remain. |
| Healing | Filthy goes upstairs to offer some dinner to Spoiled and Peal. He finds them painting the wall in excitement since Peal's tail hair has finally grown back to its normal length. Filthy tries once again to confront Spoiled about their past, asking her why she ran away years ago. Spoiled appears to prepare a serious response but reveals she was only distracting him so Peal could swipe their dinner from him. As he leaves in defeat, he reveals that what he brought was actually soap as they bite into it. Spoiled and Peal chase Filthy in anger as Spoiled delivers a childish tirade. |
| Catapult | Diamond and Dazzle are picking up trash at night, presumably to make up for setting the marketplace on fire. Dazzle isn't taking the job seriously, and Diamond tells him to learn his place. After he gets her laughing, she more amicably tells him to help her so they can get the job done. As she goes to pet him, she finds that her hoof is stuck to his forehead, and his fur color starts to overpower her own. As her entire hoof starts to turn black, she hears Spoiled's voice. She turns to see Spoiled with Peal's color palette, collar, and tail, telling her that she's finally becoming a "real pet owner". Silver comes in, displaying a combination of Iggy and Imperius's physical attributes, telling Diamond she's so jealous that Diamond and Dazzle are so close. Dazzle's colors continue to wash over Diamond, morphing her tail to be the same as his and giving her his collar. Before Diamond completely transforms, she wakes up from her nightmare, telling Dazzle they need some time apart. |
| Split | Diamond departs for a week, leaving Silver in charge of Dazzle. Dazzle is clearly not taking it very well. |
| Silver and Dazzle: Bond | Having spent a week with Dazzle, Silver is patting herself on the back for winning him over and getting him to love her. She imagines having play dates with her and Diamond's pets and dressing them up in cute outfits, laughing evilly as Handy enters her room. Silver explodes at him, telling him to get out. Dazzle jumps into Handy's arms and then onto Silver's head. Silver notices he's gotten a little heavier than she remembers but pays it no mind, too happy that Dazzle shows her affection now. As she holds him up, it's revealed that Dazzle sees Diamond when looking at Silver. |
| Diamond no Dazzle: Sickness | Diamond is trying to relax while on vacation but finds herself bored. She complains to her dad that she wants something to do, and Filthy suggests buying Dazzle a present. Diamond leaves her hotel room, grumbling about Dazzle being so needy until she spots a filly wearing a bonnet. She immediately throws out a series of insults at the filly but stops cold after she sees the filly also has a pet cat in her bag. Diamond apologizes and runs off. She comes back later to the hotel room and places a shiny new collar for Dazzle in her suitcase, revealing several other souvenirs she's already bought for him. |
| Silver and Dazzle: Summon | Silver and Dazzle are bonding by playing video games, though Silver still doesn't understand how to play them. Dazzle starts playing for the both of them and Silver says Dazzle plays too often. She pulls out a jar of jelly beans, saying they might as well go all out if they're going to be unhealthy, and Peal immediately appears too. Alongside her, Illy appears, frightening Silver and making Peal move in front of Dazzle to protect him. Illy reveals he's been watching them and says he's here to deliver a message: Diamond is being sued. |
| Diamond no Dazzle: Warrant | Diamond returns from her vacation, ready to show her cat some affection. She looks through the mansion to find no sign of Dazzle, Peal, or Silver. However, she does find Illy, not recognizing his face or voice. Illy distracts Diamond with talk about Silver's lack of technological comprehension and then drags her underground with his magic. Filthy walks in as he drags her away, and Illy rather sweetly tells him Diamond will be back by dinner before taking her. |
| Diamond no Dazzle: Trial | Diamond finds Silver in the Imp Court waiting room, and Silver tells her that she is being sued for custody of Dazzle. Diamond erupts in anger and bursts into the court room, where her court case is just about to start, standing behind the desk of the defense. Illy, who is standing on the prosecution side, says they can now begin the court case. |
| Opening | Diamond grabs Illy by the collar and demands to know where Dazzle is. Not getting help from the judge, Illy calls Dazzle to the stand to get Diamond to back off. She grabs him and embraces him tightly, but he confuses her for Silver Spoon and pulls away. As Silver enters with Diamond's tiara on her head, Dazzle smiles with glee and dashes onto her head, nuzzling it. Diamond attacks Silver in a fit of jealous rage as the judge tells the prosecution to call the next witness. |
| Evidence | Diamond demands Silver be removed from the courtroom, and Illy tells Diamond it's her own fault for leaving for a week. As Diamond goes to attack him again, she realizes that Imp Court is enchanted so that she cannot lie after blurting out that she missed Dazzle terribly while she was away. Illy reveals to Diamond that Dazzle signed a contract while they were trapped in the video game that made him property of Impish Industries, Illy's company. Silver protests, saying that document can't be legal, but Illy says all documents are legal in Imp Court. Diamond says that Illy needs consent from Dazzle's owner for Dazzle's signature to mean anything, but Illy counters that Diamond has never called herself Dazzle's owner before. Diamond finds she cannot protest due to being "under oath". Illy says that Diamond is legally Dazzle's princess and claims a servant to a princess can change allegiances at any time. |
| Recess | In the Defendant's office outside of the courtroom, Silver presses Diamond for any kind of proof that Diamond is Dazzle's owner, but Diamond says only her dad has such documents and rejects making her dad Dazzle's legal owner. She blames Dazzle for signing the contract, scaring him into taking refuge on Silver's back, much to her frustration. As Diamond tries to come up with a solution, Peal sneaks in through the ventilation system. She spots Dazzle and immediately gives him a hug upon sight. Seeing Peal, Diamond gets an idea.
Back in court, Diamond reveals that Dazzle and Peal are legally recognized cousins due to a "legal" document Diamond wrote up on a napkin. Since Peal is Diamond's aunt's adopted daughter, it means Diamond and Dazzle are family, and Diamond's "legal adult" document makes her qualified to petition to be Dazzle's legal guardian. The judge acknowledges that Diamond has the strongest case to Dazzle's ownership. |
| Motion | Peal is removed from the courtroom by an imp guard, and the judge prepares to hear Illy's counterargument. Illy reveals that the green mark Dazzle received in Adventure (Complication) is still there. He also reveals that this mark is the official brand of his company, meaning that Dazzle is legally his property. Illy then asks the question of who Diamond's owner is, pointing out that Diamond also has a similar mark on her flank. Illy claims that Diamond's claim to Dazzle is invalid since she herself is also his property. Diamond is stunned by this revelation. |
| Testimony | Diamond attempts to write a new document to counter Illy's revelation, but it catches aflame. Illy reveals that new documents cannot be written to counter existing legislation in Imp Court. The judge prepares to hand down his verdict, and Diamond's attempt to stall proves futile. However, Illy proposes to postpone the verdict, saying he wants to get Dazzle a restraining order to prevent Diamond from seeing him. To make his case, Illy calls in an imp named Power Cord, who wrote up the contract that Dazzle signed during the Adventure arc. Power Cord prepares to explain this "Perfect Kitty" contract. |
| Information | Power Cord explains that the contract requires Dazzle become a "perfect kitty." This deal was made in exchange for Diamond Tiara's "extra life" back during the adventure arc. Upon hearing this, Diamond realizes that Dazzle signed the contract to save her and that the Toad lied to her. Because Dazzle's transformation ended prematurely, as recorded by Illy during the Sleepover arc, Diamond's extra life must be revoked. However, since she's already outside of the game, her "life" needs to be taken away from Dazzle through some other means. This brings the topic of discussion back to the restraining order, which Illy explains will be an "impish" restraining order. Diamond and Dazzle will become permanently invisible and intangible to one another, unable to interact in any way. |
| Issue | Back in the Defendant's office, Diamond is nearing her breaking point after hearing about the restraining order. When Silver questions Diamond's ideas, Diamond becomes upset, telling her to leave if she's not going to be useful. Dazzle, still seeing Silver and Diamond as each other, takes Silver's side and goes to her, which infuriates Diamond even more. Diamond becomes paranoid and accuses Silver of trying to steal him away, just like everyone else. When she tries to explain the situation to Dazzle, he reaches for Silver again. At this point, Diamond finally snaps and prepares to throw Dazzle until Peal holds up a television and allows Diamond to see her reflection. Diamond breaks down into tears and hugs Silver, pleading with her for help. After seeing Diamond's emotional turmoil, Silver vows that she won't let Diamond lose Dazzle. |
| Conviction | In a flashback to before the trial, Silver is attempting to learn how to play video games so she can get on Dazzle's good side. Silver contemplates why Dazzle doesn't love her like he does Diamond. Then she sees a shooting star. While initially joking about making a wish, she proceeds to do so, wishing that Dazzle would love her the same way he does Diamond. At this moment, Diamond rings the doorbell to ask Silver to look after Dazzle, placing this comic right after Catapult in the timeline.The comic ends with Silver telling Dazzle that he'll end up leaving here with his princess, and it's shown that he sees her as Diamond once again. |
| Verdict | Before the judge hands down his verdict, Silver objects, wanting to call Dazzle to the stand. Illy protests, but the judge agrees. With Dazzle on the stand, Silver makes the bold claim that she, in fact, is Diamond Tiara, meaning that she is actually the one the contract Dazzle signed refers to. When no one believes her, she points out that she can't lie under oath. |
| Handoff | Illy is outraged by Silver's claim, stating that Diamond is the one that signed a previously unmentioned contract he calls "the original contract." Silver says it doesn't matter, as long as she's telling the truth, and she states once again that she is Diamond Tiara to prove it. Silver then says that because she is Diamond Tiara, he doesn't own the pink filly at all. And since Silver isn't Dazzle's owner, Illy therefore doesn't own Dazzle. In terms of ownership, it then falls to the pink filly, the one related to the owner of Peal, that has the strongest claim to Dazzle's leash. Illy throws a tantrum before his head falls off, and the judge rules Diamond to be Dazzle's owner. However, due to Silver's actions, she officially becomes recognized as 'Diamond Tiara' in imp court and receives the Impish Industries brand in Diamond's stead, restoring Diamond's cutie mark to normal. Diamond asks her why she did all this, and Silver says that Dazzle needs Diamond. The delusion that made Dazzle see Diamond and Silver as each other breaks right before the impish restraining order kicks in, allowing Dazzle to see Silver one more time before she disappears. |
| Result | With the trial over, Diamond and the others have returned to Diamond's room. Diamond asks Silver how she managed to lie under oath, and Silver explains that she was able to say she was Diamond as long as she was looking at Dazzle, having figured out that Dazzle somehow thought she was Diamond. Though Dazzle and Silver cannot interact with each other, Dazzle leaves her an offering of purple jelly beans, in reference to Silver's comment from Diamond no Dazzle: Warrant. Meanwhile, Illy is watching them from his lair and tells Discord to throw out the useless Perfect Kitty Contract, saying he'll have to use the original one. He contemplates how to make it work since Silver is now the one who legally signed it, implying that she wouldn't work as well as Diamond for his purposes. Before Discord heads out, he mentions that he used one of Illy's two remaining wishes. |
| Question | Twilight Sparkle and Spike come to visit Diamond Tiara's mansion, to check up on her after hearing about the events of the Trial arc. Diamond is alerted by Randolph to the princess's arrival and tries to make herself look as regal as possible. After Twilight mentions Princess Celestia sent her, Diamond becomes too enthusiastic for Twilight to ask her questions about the creatures that harassed her. Twilight leaves in frustration, walking right past Handy, whom neither of them can see. |
| Charm | Dazzle and Peal are having a picnic, and Dazzle appears to have gained a lot of weight. Opal, watching from afar, finds the sight disgusting, until a fresh turkey appears on the blanket and whets her appetite. Though Dazzle is resistant to Opal's tricks, her feminine charms woo him into giving her the whole turkey. Peal sees this happen and hatches a scheme to get back at Opal. Using her mice friends, Peal tricks Opal into chasing the mice into a trap, where the mice have a water hose set up. Under threat of being sprayed, Opal is forced to perform tricks for Dazzle and Peal as payback. |
| Food | Dazzle, still overweight from before, sluggishly gets out of bed with little enthusiasm. Diamond and Peal notice this and express concern. As Dazzle prepares a high-sugar breakfast, Peal kicks it away, revealing that Dazzle has a vet appointment coming up. She then covers her eyes with her ears to prevent Dazzle from dazzling her. Immune to his trump card, Peal forces Dazzle to get his rear in gear and do some exercise. Diamond is impressed. |
| Taste | Under Peal's coaching, Dazzle has returned to his previous size by the time his vet appointment arrives. The vet is impressed that his weight is under control but still expresses concerns with his health. Having determined that Dazzle and cat food don't mix, the vet suggests dog food, much to Diamond and Peal's horror. Diamond decides to let Dazzle try it, and Dazzle immediately falls in love with the taste. The vet reveals that Dazzle's fur color has steadily become more of a bluish-gray due to his diet and can no longer be called a black cat anymore. The vet jokes that Dazzle can't be called unlucky anymore, which gets Dazzle's attention. |
| Luck | Dazzle is playing blackjack to prove he's not unlucky anymore, which proves successful. Diamond seems to be lost in thought about something while staring at the dog food until hearing about Dazzle's good fortune. Diamond, talking much like a parent, tells Dazzle and Peal to go brush their teeth and go to bed. Before she leaves the game room, she sees her reflection in a mirror and smashes it, telling herself that she's a good owner. |
| Trash | Diamond lies to Dazzle, stating that they're completely out of dog food. Dazzle immediately sees through this lie and finds all of the dog food in the trash. Diamond is caught off-guard as Princess Twilight suddenly appears before her and fires Randolph for not warning her. Twilight explains she wanted to follow-up about their last meeting. She presents Diamond with a deal. Diamond can be princess for a day if she tells Twilight what she knows. Diamond is initially speechless, and Dazzle leaps onto her head and congratulates her. Twilight remembers that the imps were interested in Dazzle and asks if she can borrow him for a few hours. Upon hearing this offer, Diamond kicks Twilight out of her house, rejecting Twilight's deal wholesale. Spike is waiting outside and Twilight expresses her concern to him, stating that Diamond is not the same filly anymore. |
| Silver and Iggy: Hand | While Silver is daydreaming, Handy arrives to deliver a package to her pet iguana. Silver is upset by his appearance, but becomes outraged after realizing he is delivering a package with Illy's logo on it. Silver accuses Handy of being in cahoots with the ones that tried to steal Dazzle. After she questions if he and Illy are actually one and the same, Illy appears behind her to correct her mistake. |
| Silver and Illy: Heart | Illy asks Handy to leave and then reveals that he knows Silver's real name. He explains that because of the stunt she pulled in court, she is now the one who legally signed a contract in his possession. He wants to take advantage of this and have Silver help him get Diamond back on-contract. Silver fervently opposes Illy's offer, causing him to hold her pets hostage in bubbles, as he did with Dazzle in the past. |
| Desire | Diamond practices saying something in the mirror, feigning ignorance as Silver Spoon comes in. Silver says she wants some girl talk and shows off a red gem she obtained from her attic. Silver explains that it is a magic stone called the Heart's Desire, that it can gain power over someone if they are looking at it while you say what they love most. Silver says Diamond's name, resulting in Diamond falling into a hypnotic trance. Silver is upset that she was successful. |
| Betrayal | Silver takes advantage of Diamond's hypnotic trance, asking her a series of questions to get honest answers. After Diamond says that Silver is her sister, Silver calls Diamond a cat, resulting in Diamond transforming into her cat form. Silver takes the transformed Diamond away, and Dazzle is revealed to have been in the room with them the entire time, also having fallen into the hypnotic trance. Silver takes Diamond to another room where Illy is waiting for her. Silver threatens him and then leaves him alone with Diamond. Illy looks impressed with her threat. |
| Thrill | Aunt Spoiled is lazing around on the couch, still living at Filthy's house. Filthy wakes her up and asks if she's going to go do the critic job she came to Ponyville for. Spoiled deflects his question and storms off in anger. Meanwhile, Diamond's hypnotic trance wears off, and she is face-to-face with Illy again, also in his cat form. Illy uses the hand from the beginning of the Adventure arc to pull Diamond into the television. Though he successfully pulls her in, she manages to drag him in as well. |
| Sting | Diamond and Illy arrive in the first world of Illy's video game world. Illy states that he can't transform them back in his cat form and needs admin privileges to do so. They have to get to World 8 to access them. Meanwhile, Peal decides to prank Dazzle, only to find out he has returned to his feral mode. Discord watches on, surprised that he isn't needed here. |
| Retreat | Diamond laments having to start over at level 1 again. Her experience from before makes her concerned that Illy will be as weak as Dazzle was, and her suspicions prove true. Meanwhile, Peal's cowardly nature is brought out as feral Dazzle intimidates her. She tries to run away and offer him sweets to stop him, but it proves futile. |
| Escalation | Illy and Diamond arrive at World 2. Illy and Diamond bicker about their comparative strength levels. Meanwhile, Dazzle continues to chase Peal. As she is about to escape outside, she turns around to see Dazzle swallow her mouse friend, which invigorates her to fight back. |
| Life | Peal squares off against Dazzle and forces him to spit up the mouse he swallowed. Meanwhile, Diamond and Illy have arrived at World 3 and encounter some enemies that are a bit too strong for them. Before they are overwhelmed, a giant fish arrives that calms their nerves. The two devour it whole and gain enough levels to become untouchable. |
| Instinct | In World 4, Diamond and Illy are traversing the cold mountain to work off the weight they put on from World 3. Diamond criticizes Illy's game, which makes him genuinely mad. Realizing this upsets him, Diamond keeps teasing him in this way. Meanwhile, Dazzle and Peal keep fighting. As Peal is about to gain the upper hand, she hesitates to use her claws on her cousin, allowing Dazzle to gain the advantage. However, Peal's mice friends manage to contain Dazzle within a rug, stopping his assault. |
| Obedience | Still in World 4, Illy tries to sow seeds of conflict by revealing that Silver betrayed Diamond and turned her into a cat. Diamond doesn't buy it and threatens Illy until he confesses that he forced Silver to do it. As Diamond prepares to walk off in victory, she slips and falls off the mountain. Illy saves her with his magic. |
| Pity | Traversing World 5, Diamond is upset that Illy saved her. She complains to him for quite awhile until getting fed up with his silence. When she asks him to speak, he expresses genuine gratitude that she's okay. This angers Diamond further, and she tells him to clam back up. Meanwhile, Spoiled arrives at the scene following the fight between Dazzle and Peal. Peal informs Spoiled that Dazzle has become a monster. Spoiled expresses sympathy toward Dazzle, stating that she can relate to how he feels. She tells him to stop lashing out violently and randomly and instead focus his anger, promising to teach him how. She manages to win the feral Dazzle over, shocking Peal in the process. |
| Squeal | In World 6, Illy and Diamond work off the extra weight on treadmills. He reveals that everything he said as the Toad was a nonsense cover story. He then reveals that he doesn't actually care about or want Dazzle, but doesn't elaborate further. Meanwhile, Peal is uncomfortable to be eating next to the still feral Dazzle. She heads off to a nearby telephone and calls Imperius over, who brings Silver Spoon with him. |
| Embarrassment | Diamond claims to have figured Illy out. Since he doesn't care about Dazzle, he actually must care about her. She calls him obsessed with her and proves it by trying to jump off a cloud, resulting in him catching her again. He reveals that he "loves" her, leading to her wanting him to drop him. Meanwhile, Feral Dazzle has fallen asleep, and Spoiled and Silver have exchanged information. Silver concludes that they need to find the magic stone that Illy gave her, the Heart's Desire. She ignores Handy, who found it in the background. |
| Reveal | Diamond and Illy have reached World 8, and Illy retains his admin privileges. After turning them back to normal and hacking the game to make sure Diamond cannot harm him, then he proceeds to begin his explanation of why he is constantly in pursuit of Dazzle. Meanwhile, Silver congratulates Imperius, who has rescued the Heart's Desire from Handy's evil clutches. Spoiled immediately falls under the Heart's Desire's trance by mistake, and Filthy Rich enters the scene. Silver begs him to help them, however he is distracted by the idea of his sister being in a trance where she will answer any question honestly. |
| Joke | A joke comic that "reveals" Illy became a villain because Spoiled Rich (the canon one) is his mom. Diamond immediately forgives him for all he must have gone through. |
| Admission | Illy reveals the truth to Diamond, that he used to own her as a pet and that her tiara is her "collar." He claims that she even got a cutie mark in being a pet. |
| Wonder | Filthy Rich asks Spoiled questions, testing Silver's patience. He finds out that she hasn't been a food critic for years, and that she's been pretending to be a food critic for free food. Meanwhile, Diamond is coming to terms with the truth that she is simply a pet. Illy then sinks her further into despair by revealing that he owns all of the princesses as pets too. Diamond doesn't believe him, so he decides to show proof. |
| Evil | Illy brings Diamond to his home. After she attacks him, she demands proof. He shows her all of the crowns his company has made. One of them even belongs to Queen Chrysalis. Illy reveals that while he does own the princesses, what he's really after is training ponies to become new villains. |
| Business | Diamond doubts Illy's claims despite the Oath he has floating above them. He explains that he has a system with the ponies where he monopolizes the villain industry. By controlling the villains, they can give ponies a false sense of security and prevent real villains from appearing. Illy reveals that he wants Dazzle away from Diamond because he's making her soft and less valuable as a villain. He thinks that she can be an amazing villain if she lets him go. Illy claims that Diamond's love for Dazzle is temporary, and that she needs to give him up so she can have a lasting legacy. |
| Spoiler | Silver asserts once again that Handy cannot be trusted, revealing the mark on her flank that was given to her during the Trial arc, surprising Spoiled. Illy and Diamond return from the video game world. After they do, Spoiled suddenly confronts Illy, revealing that she can see imps. She demands to know why Silver has that mark on her flank. She takes off her own outfit to reveal she has the same mark, and that Illy promised her a "job." |
| Story | Spoiled inadvertently reveals that Filthy knows something about Illy, prompting Diamond to ask. Illy tears an NDA, allowing Filthy to speak about it. Filthy apologizes to Diamond and reveals that he's responsible for what has happened. Before Diamond was born, Filthy promised his firstborn to the imps, believing he wouldn't have kids. |
| Scapegoat | Silver tries to make sense of Diamond's history, but Spoiled interrupts his explanation of how Illy and Spoiled met. Spoiled reveals that she arrived in Ponyville with the goal of driving a rift between Diamond and Dazzle. When Illy says she failed, Spoiled then tries to take credit for Dazzle going feral. Spoiled then asks Illy for the job she was promised, and he seals her in a bubble, refusing to hire her. |
| Bubble | Illy continues his plan by breaking Dazzle's collar and pulling a second magic gemstone from it. When Silver tries to take it from him, he uses it on her, sending her into a mindless rage, similar to Dazzle's. The word he used to send her into a frenzy also affects Peal, turning her feral as well. Illy uses them both as hostages, with the goal of forcing Diamond to accept his offer. |
| Chaos | Discord arrives, complimenting Illy on the chaos he has created. Illy chastises him for revealing himself as Discord, since if Discord's involved, Diamond can ask for help, as unlike Illy, other ponies can see Discord. While Illy's complaining, Dazzle wakes up. Illy looks for the Heart's Desire to revert Dazzle back to normal. In the resulting chaos, Spoiled gets hold of it and uses it on Discord. |
| Gratitude | With Discord's help, Spoiled ties up Filthy, Diamond, and Handy, obtaining both magic gems. Under threat of losing Diamond to the gems, Illy explains how the Heart's Desire and the Heart's Reproach work, and Spoiled uses the Heart's Desire to turn Peal back to normal. Spoiled then leaves with the gem, taking Dazzle and Peal with her. |
| Tongue | Illy realizes that Diamond's tongue is green, reavealing that the Heart's Desire has a time limit before the effect becomes permanent. He states that the Heart's Desire made it as if she was born a cat, and his magic to turn her back into a pony would only be temporary. If her tongue turns blue, she will turn back into a cat forever. Diamond then realizes that Dazzle's condition is the same. If his tongue turns blue, he will permanently remain feral. Meanwhile, Spoiled decides to finally review Sugar Cube Corner and meets Pinkie Pie. |
| Rush | Silver, Diamond, Filthy, and Handy rush out to stop Spoiled and get the gems back. Meanwhile, Spoiled stops by Sweet Apple Acres and meets Applejack. |
| Dummy | Diamond and the others decide to go to Sugar Cube Corner, since Spoiled could swing a free meal by going there. Meanwhile, Spoiled has arrived at the Carousel Boutique, and Dazzle gets friendly with Opal. |
| Excitement | In a flashback, a young Filthy Rich is being dismissive of a young "Blankie," tacitly insulting her for lacking a cutie mark. In the present, Diamond is asking Pinkie Pie if she's seen her aunt. Pinkie says she told Spoiled her five best friends. Diamond realizes Princess Twilight is in danger and rushes to the library, leaving behind her dad and Handy. Meanwhile, Spoiled finds Rainbow Dash napping in the clouds. |
| Knock | Diamond arrives at the library and asks if her aunt has been there. Twilight says she has not, and Diamond cannot properly communicate the situation. Diamond gets frustrated and leaves, not having time to waste. Diamond finds it odd that Spoiled didn't go to Twilight first if she just wanted power, so she suspects Spoiled is after something else. Meanwhile, Spoiled arrives at Fluttershy's house, and Filthy is there to greet her. |
| Share | Spoiled reveals her master plan to Filthy. She used the power of the Heart gems to implant an order into the Mane Six that she can activate at any time. Once she activates it, they will work tirelessly to ruin the reputation of Filthy's company. This will result in Filthy losing his job, business, and wealth. |
| Faceoff | Diamond asks Illy why he didn't want to hire Spoiled. He says there are many reasons, but the main one is that she won't go by her real name. Meanwhile, Spoiled and Filthy face off. Spoiled uses the power of the Heart gems to trap Filthy in a bubble of magic. Only those that are immune to the gems' power can move within it, and the only way to undo the bubble is to take the gems away from her. She dares him to take the gems from her in his current state. |
| Cross | Diamond finally manages to find her aunt. Aunt Spoiled undoes the magic on Diamond without any complaints, putting Diamond into a temporary trance. Illy prevents her from leaving, and then Peal knocks his head off. With Illy and Diamond out of the way, Spoiled prepares the next phase of her plan. She reveals she has turned Filthy into a mouse and plans to have Dazzle chase him for fun. |
| Moderation | Dazzle chases Filthy around for fun, but he gets distracted by seeing Illy's head and starts playing with it like a ball. Meanwhile, Handy arrives back home, stating he couldn't find anyone else to help him. He determines that he needs Silver's help, and the only way he can get it is if he breaks the spell she's under. |
| Rise | Handy arrives with Silver to stop Spoiled. Illy is shocked to discover he managed to bring her, stating that it is impossible for the Heart gems' spell to be broken without one of them. Handy then reveals that Silver is still locked in her feral state and manages to sic her on Spoiled. Spoiled counters by sending Dazzle at her, but the two cannot interact with each other due to the events of the Trial arc. Dazzle takes down Handy, and Silver takes down Spoiled, causing her to lose the Heart's Desire. |
| Wrap | Illy obtains the Heart's Desire, and Spoiled uses her remaining gem to undo the effect on Silver. Illy and Spoiled tussle over the gems, resulting in them flying away. Dazzle ends up eating the gems and gaining their powers via lasers from his eyes. Spoiled and Illy insist that the other is responsible for this as Diamond comes out of her trance. |
| Encounter | Dazzle goes on a rampage with his new powers as Diamond realizes what is going on. Dazzle has turned everyone except Diamond and Illy into other animals. Diamond decides that if they can get Fluttershy's attention, she can use her stare to turn Dazzle back to normal. As she tries to run off, Dazzle seals her in the magic bubble that Spoiled trapped Filthy in. Illy saves Diamond by touching her, allowing her to move within the space. Their only way out is to get the gems away from Dazzle, meaning Diamond has to defeat feral Dazzle. |
| Battle | Diamond makes an emotional appeal to feral Dazzle, trying to convince him to submit to her. Dazzle lashes out and ends up destroying her tiara. This triggers something in Diamond, prompting her to chastise Dazzle like a mother talking to a misbehaving child. |
| Mother | Diamond talks to Dazzle like a mother chastising a misbehaving child. Thanks to some interference from Peal and mouse Filthy, Diamond is able to avoid Dazzle's counterattack. To put Dazzle down for the count, she uses a special means of petting him accompanied by a childish rhyme. |
| Breakdown | The spell has been broken, and Dazzle has returned to normal. Diamond has fully embraced the title as Dazzle's mom, and Spoiled has been tied up by Illy. Illy tears up Spoiled's contract, restoring her cutie mark to normal. She reveals her real name to be Blank Check, along with her motivation for trying to ruin Filthy's company. Filthy and Peal show sympathy to her, despite all she's done. |
| Departure | Illy deems Diamond useless now that she has embraced Dazzle so fully, tearing up her contract and leaving. Silver's cutie mark is restored in the process, but she still cannot see Dazzle. Though Silver is upset, she thanks Handy for his assistance. |
| Goodbye | Illy laments losing Diamond, stating that he's turned the Mane 6 back to normal. He also finds out that Discord was a double agent the entire time, working to keep Illy in check. Illy falls into despair, claiming he may as well quit trying to find a villain as good as Diamond, but Discord bizarrely encourages him to find a new villain. |
| End | Dazzle and Peal remove Opal from the premises as Diamond tells Silver the current state of affairs. Diamond and Dazzle have a heart-to-heart on their way to a hair appointment. She reveals her doubt about refusing Illy's proposal, thinking maybe she could be more than she is. However, talking to Dazzle makes her confirm that she's perfect just the way she is. She then passes by and insults the Cutie Mark Crusaders. |

Characters[]
Main characters[]
Diamond Tiara[]
Adapted more or less from how she is depicted in the show, Diamond Tiara is a rich, spoiled Earth pony filly. However, she has occasional moments of genuine kindness, and Dazzle's presence serves to keep her somewhat grounded. As a child, she had an obsession with being different and unique, a trait that potentially carried over into her older self.
Dazzle[]
Diamond Tiara's "perfect, little kitty." An oddity of a domesticated animal, he shares many traits with canines (having been the only cat in a dog shelter). Mischievous, playful, and often a major pain in Diamond's butt, but deep down he loves her dearly. He is also shown to be very intelligent for a cat, being able to read and write, though he doesn't take kindly to being called one.
Major characters[]
Filthy Rich[]
Diamond Tiara's father and owner of the local retail store Barnyard Bargains. Never seen without his signature red tie and perpetually tired-looking eyes. He was the one who originally adopted Dazzle for his daughter's birthday and tried to convince her to keep him. He occasionally spends quality time with the two of them and has shown to be somewhat impressed with how Diamond has raised her kitty.
Banana Peal[]
The yellow and white calling card and pet kitty of Diamond's Aunt Spoiled, with a penchant for giving her own food letter grades (usually mediocre ones.) As a kitten, Peal was timid and easily frightened, but she developed a more confident and snobbish personality after spending time with Dazzle. Being unable to meow, she wears a bell around her neck to get the attention of others. After becoming close friends with Dazzle, she begins to be a bit more friendly and playful around him. Diamond loves having Peal around, but doesn't particularly care for how Dazzle has been rubbing off on her.
Imp[]
While still currently unnamed and rarely seen, the Imp is a purple demon-like creature who can only be seen by those who use his technology (computers, video games, cell phones, etc.) True to his name, he enjoys causing mischief and has quite a sadistic sense of humor, going so far as to steal four things Diamond treasures to see what she likes the most. He is apparently not the only of his kind, and he may or may not be the leader of his species. He appears to have some kind of alliance with Discord and has shown to possess various magical powers similar to Discord's including shapeshifting, teleportation, and the ability to reach his arm through a telephone.
Silver Spoon[]
Diamond Tiara's best friend and classmate, also adapted from how she is depicted in the show. Similar to Diamond, Silver is a rich, spoiled Earth pony filly, but distinguishes herself by her intense love of animals and generally more optimistic outlook. Much like Dazzle, she cares deeply about Diamond's well-being and doesn't like to see her sad. She finds Dazzle ridiculously cute, to the point of frightening him when she gets too close. She's also shown to be rather devious when she gets a plan in her head.
Imperius[]
Silver Spoon's pet puppy, imagined by MustLoveFrogs. A relatively large puppy, almost the size of Silver, Imperius appears to be quite friendly, showing no ill will towards anyone he's met, even the cats. In fact, he clearly seems to be upset that Peal is afraid of him. He shows loyalty to his owner, following any instructions she gives him without question. He also greatly enjoys receiving affection from her, though he's curiously never once licked her face as a typical puppy would.
Iggy[]
Silver Spoon's pet iguana. A relatively large green iguana, almost the size of Dazzle, Iggy seems greatly attached to his owner, hiding behind her neck when placed in an unfamiliar situation. He shows loyalty and affection towards Silver, licking her face and following her instructions without question. He seems to have a wild imagination, imagining Peal as some kind of fire monster when he first meets her, and he seems to have an interest in video games, if Silver's claim that he owns a VR helmet is to be believed.
Minor characters[]
Randolph[]
Diamond Tiara's elderly butler. As the only known servant in the Diamond household (aside from Dazzle), Randolph is tasked with handling mundane tasks that inconvenience Diamond's family. Though he's only made a handful of appearances in the series so far, he seems to be relatively close to the family he serves, showing sympathy to a brokenhearted Dazzle and even participating in family game night. He has yet to speak a word, and may possibly be mute.
Diamond's mother[]
Though never actually making a visual appearance, Diamond's mom has been referenced multiple times in the series, even as far back as the first comic. She generally is shown to be filming scenes on a video camera as they take place, the audience viewing the scene through her camera's perspective whenever she's around. She is implied to be incredibly shy and often using her camera to record things and take pictures. Like Randolph, she has never had any speaking lines.
Aunt Spoiled[]
Peal's owner and Filthy Rich's sister. An aloof green Earth pony that shares her kitty's penchant for critiquing things with letter grades, even when not on the job. She made her first appearance picking up Peal after leaving Diamond to look after the kitty for a time. Though little about her character has been revealed, she has shown to approve of Peal dressing up as a ninja, even ignoring her cat's shaved tail.
Animated series[]
An animated adaptation of Diamond and Dazzle by GamerSpax was once in production, with YoshiGreenwater as the lead animator. Tomoyo Ichijouji was cast in the role of Diamond Tiara, and GamerSpax was cast as Dazzle. The series never manifested beyond the intro animation, and it is unlikely to go back into production at this time.
