Critical Condition
Chapter 5: Epilogue
Previous ChapterSunset Shimmer was released from the hospital today. With her leg still broken, she would need a crutch to help her get around.
As she was wheeled out, Vice-Principal Luna was waiting for her.
“Vice-Principal Luna?” Sunset Shimmer questioned.
“I’m here to pick you up, Sunset Shimmer.”
Luna helped Sunset into the car and drove her away from the hospital.
Sunset Shimmer looked out at the street as Luna drove. The drive was short and Luna pulled into a familiar driveway.
“We’re here.”
“But this is Pinkie Pie’s place.”
“I am well aware of that, but your friends insisted I bring you here.”
Luna helped Sunset Shimmer out of the car. The girl took slow steps toward the front door with Luna beside her. The vice-principal opened the door for her and they entered the living room.
“SURPRISE!”
Sunset Shimmer jumped out of her own skin.
“MERRY CHRISTMAS SUNSET SHIMMER!”
All her friends were present. The living room was decorated. There was a Christmas Tree with presents underneath, some which she recognized.
“A party? For me?” Sunset Shimmer gasped.
“Pinkie insisted, and you know there is no standing between her and parties,” said Rarity.
“And I know Sunset misses my treats!” added Pinkie Pie with a face-splitting grin.
“Glad to see you out of that hospital bed, Sunset,” grinned Rainbow Dash.
“Glad to be out of the hospital. If it weren’t for the flowers and cards, I’d be depressed,” replied Sunset Shimmer.
“We also got ya something, girl,” said Applejack as Fluttershy carried a present for the Guest of Honor. It was a box wrapped in colorful wrapping paper that matched Sunset’s hair.
“Merry Christmas, Sunset,” said Fluttershy. “Do you need help opening it?”
“I’m good,” said Sunset as she took the gift and found a place to sit. She put the gift on her lap and unwrapped it to find a new phone.
“Your old phone got busted in the accident, so we pooled all our money together and got you that,” Rainbow Dash explained.
“Girls, thank you,” Sunset Shimmer smiled.
The matter about Anon-a-Miss was never brought up, which was for the best.
It was a Merry Christmas for Sunset Shimmer as she spent it with family.
THE END
Author's Notes:
So, this is just a short story with a basic concept. I decided to do something that prevented Anon-a-Miss from running wild. The thing was to remove Sunset as the prime suspect and I had to do it in a pretty tragic manner. Yeah, she survived, but she could have very well died. But it still worked out and Anon-a-Miss died before it could ruin more people’s lives. But still the Crusaders don’t go unpunished and the Rainbooms hopefully managed to figure out the real culprits. How were the Crusaders going to keeping pinning Anon-a-Miss to Sunset when she’s in a coma. So, their idea died and they get discovered posting the embarrassing stuff they had on the Rainbooms. And finally, Sunset has a happy ending.
No need for extra drama. It’s a simple short story.
