Sweetie Belle walked over to where Silver Spoon was and lay on the grass in front of her.  
“How do you feel about what you did to Twist?” asked Sweetie Belle.  
“What do you care?” asked Silver Spoon, choosing not to bother lifting her head to look at Sweetie Belle. “Nopony else wants to hear about how I feel about it so why should you?”  
“Try me.”  
Silver Spoon lifted her head. The highlights in her tear-glossed eyes jiggled back and forth as she looked into Sweetie Belle’s face. She saw sincerity and compassion in the unicorn’s green eyes, two commodities that had become increasingly harder for her to come by.  
“You’d… really want to… listen to what I have to say?”  
“Sure. But make it fast. I hate being late for class.”  
Silver Spoon wrinkled her nose.  
“If this is some kind of trick…” she said.  
“It’s not. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo aren’t interested in hearing what you have to say. Me? Well, let’s just say that I’ve caused my share of accidents so I know how it goes. Just tell me how you honestly feel. I promise to take you seriously.”  
Silver Spoon had reservations about opening up about her feelings with anypony other than Diamond Tiara; her parents were largely responsible for those reservations. However, Diamond Tiara had grown tired of listening to Silver Spoon rehash the same old story about how guilty she felt about Twist and she made it clear to her that she didn’t want to hear any more of her bellyaching. It had reached the point where even Silver Spoon believed that it was nothing more than bellyaching. Keeping her feelings to herself turned out to be highly unsatisfying and now that Silver Spoon was being offered a chance to speak her mind, it was as though a ray of sunshine was being shed on her darkened heart. And her heart yearned for the warmth of that sun badly enough to place her trust in an old enemy. With quivering lips and watery eyes, she swallowed her pride and decided to take one last plunge into the waters of trust.  
“I feel awful about what happened,” she whimpered. “I can’t get it out of my head, no matter how hard I try. It’s like a scar that I can see every time that I look at myself in the mirror. The sound of her crying… The screech of the train’s brakes… Like, every time I’m reminded of the accident, I get so depressed. I didn’t want to help Diamond Tiara drop the bag on her. I mean, yeah, sure, I’ve done worse than cover somepony with garbage but it was different this time. She was only there because she thought Rumble was in love with her. I had a chance to stop it from happening and I didn’t take it. I’m so mad at myself for that and I don’t know what to do about it.”  
“So you regret it?”  
“Yes, I regret it! I’m sick with regret. I’ve never regretted anything so much in my entire life. We never meant to get Twist killed… but nopony seems to care about our side.”  
“That’s because your parents hired a sleazy lawyer that no ten ponies in central Ponyville would have been able to afford and you got away with mischief for the millionth time.”  
“Our parents didn’t want us to go to jail any more than we did. Any parent would do whatever it took to protect their foals.”  
“I understand that – but you and Diamond Tiara almost never have to face the music for the stuff you pull and even when somepony died from your mean pranks, you still didn’t get punished. It’s left some of us not-rich ponies feeling like there isn’t any justice around here. That’s why you’re having a tough time finding sympathy in this town… and that’s why we staged that walkout.”  
Silver Spoon rested her chin on her forelegs, pouted, and closed her eyes.  
“But,” added Sweetie Belle, “after the walkout, I suspected that you had something that Diamond Tiara doesn’t – a conscience. And today, I’ve confirmed that you do. It’s not a squeaky clean, award winning conscience but it is there so I can at least respect that about you.“
Background Pony #AB69
You can’t “put on a bus” a character that only shows up extremely sparingly by design.
Background Pony #712E
I wouldn’t called her the best pony yet. I would’ve liked to have gotten a little more development for her, to see why she even followed Diamond Tiara in the first place.

On a semi-related note, I always got the impression Spooner didn’t care for Babs, but tolerated Babs because Diamond liked her.
