As the Rainbooms headed to the car, they were all silent over what they had seen. Rainbow especially. Her faith in Sunset was all but shattered when Anon-A-Miss came around, but what she just heard...changed everything.
"Hey, Rainbow..." started Fluttershy timidly.
"Yeah, Fluttershy?" the athlete responded.
"About what happened? The message on the Jumbotron...I'm starting to think Sunset isn't Anon-A-Miss."
"Do you?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah," Fluttershy admitted. "I mean, I don't think even Sunset could've done something like that. I read about DedSec. They're supposed to be the best."
"And you think they're telling the truth that Sunset isn't Anon-A-Miss."
"They're all about exposing the truth." Pinkie said. "Even I read."
"I'm not sure what to believe..." Rarity said. "What now?"
"We wait." Rainbow said as they drove off. No one in the car noticed the CMC shaking slightly.

=====================
After the PA reveal.
=====================

The school was talking about what they heard. Anon-A-Miss was actually three people and not one person like they believed?
But, who were Bloom2Flower, HyperSpeed4, and LibertyBelle1? How could it be three people?
At their table, the Rainbooms were just staring at their lunch in silence. This revelation completely shattered what they thought they knew. Rainbow especially. She collapsed and placed her head in her hands.
"Girls, I think we owe Sunny a huge apology," said Pinkie Pie.

"Big time." Rarity said. "How could we be so...stupid?"

"We need to find her!" Fluttershy said.

As the Rainbooms left, they searched high and low for Sunset, only to find her in the library, reading on the computer.

"Uh, Sunset?" Rarity asked.

"If you came to hear me beg, you're sorely mistaken." Sunset said, not even looking in their direction.

"We came to apologize." Pinkie said. Sunset spun around and gave them a hard glare.
Sunset Shimmer asked, "OK, then. Tell me the truth. Are you apologizing because you feel sorry, or because you want to make yourselves feel better?"

"We really are sorry!" Fluttershy said.

"Then explain why you betrayed me." Sunset said. "I thought you were my friends, and as soon as something gets pinned on me, you leave me behind and turn me into a scapegoat. What friends you are."

"Sunset…" Rainbow said.

"I thought I could start over after the Formal." Sunset continued. "Now, I see I was just fooling myself. If you want to apologize, you had better make sure you've EARNED that I'll listen. Get out."

"Sunset…" Applejack said.

"OUT!" Sunset growled. The group backed off, and then, the PA system crackled once more.

"Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, please come to the Principal's Office now."
Sunset stormed out of the library and followed the Rainbooms to Celestia's office, where to their shock, Aiden Pearce, Wrench, Marcus, Vice Principal Luna and Principal Celestia, and Scootaloo, Sweetie, and Applebloom were waiting for them. Aiden walked over to the Rainbooms, and glared at them.

"Sit down, you five. This may take a while."
