Season 5 was actually the most impacting on Gohan.

You'll see why.

(By the way, Gala is being pushed to later in the season. You'll see why.)

The unison of Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda was just great with that damn monster.

***

A GIANT F**KING BUG BEAR IS ATTACKING PONYVILLE RIGHT NOW!

CALL THE SOLAR GUARD, WE NEE-

Oop, wait, oh no. That's clearly not- Oh dear, no.

Gohan blasted it for us.

And then the two were finally united.

The end!

Well, not after some stupid date mistake and wedding problems.

***

Luna's nightmares were certainly an adventure for everyone.

***

Luna just turned into Nightmare Moon again!

But the Mane 6 just turned her back to normal... After receiving the Rainbow Power at will...

And everyone hugged her...

And she woke up!

"A... Happy ending...? That! Cannot! Happen!" Luna said.

***

The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the boutique...

He was helping them out with grooming their pets.

The seven each had a nightmare last night!

And they were tired the next day.

Except for Pinkie Pie, cuz... You know.

And Gohan, because...

SENZU BEAN!

Rainbow Dash yawned.

"Yeah Rarity... Thanks for setting all this up." Rainbow Dash said, drowsily scrubbing her pet Tank's shell.

"A grooming day for our pets was a really good idea..." Fluttershy said.

Her bunny Angel was asleep on her lap.

Rarity was combing Opal's tail until she fell asleep and accidentally stuck it in Opal's back.

Opal jumped up, clinging to the ceiling.

"O-Oh my, I'm so sorry! I didn't get my beauty sleep last night." Rarity said.

Opal hissed in response.

"Really? I barely slept. I had a horrible nightmare." He said.

"Well..." Twilight said before yawning. "I didn't really sleep well either." She said.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack nodded.

Pinkie Pie was as energetic as ever.

She was doing cartwheels all over the place.

"I'm totally beat too!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

Applejack nearly fell asleep, before her dog Winona woke her up with a bark.

"Alright Winona..." Applejack said drowsily, reaching for the brush.

She accidentally grabbed Pinkie Pie's pet Gummy.

"Time for your brushing..." She said.

Gummy bit Winona on the ear.

Winona reacted by shaking Gummy off, and Gummy landed on Owlicious, and Owlicious pushed Twilight into water after flying up.

"Whoops... I guess I'm too plum
tuckered out to do it right." Applejack said.

Fluttershy yawned. "I know I went to bed early last night, but then I had a really scary nightmare..." She said.

"Me too!" Everyone said.

"U-Uh, only, you know, I didn't think mine was THAT bad." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well mine sure was. There was this blue smoke monster, and-" Twilight said, before realizing all eyes were on her.

"What?" She asked.

"I dreamt of a blue smoke thingy too!" Fluttershy said.

"Me too!" The rest of the Mane 6 said.

"Same here! But it was suddenly killed by some pink thing, and it charged at me only to phase through me to kill my mother, who suddenly appeared behind me. It was gruesome. And for some reason she had her hair in a bun..." Gohan said.

"Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence...?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"What? It's a dream." Gohan said.

"Well... It's probably just a coincidence." Rainbow Dash said.

"That's an awfully big coincidence." Twilight said, getting out of the water.

Spike brought her towels.

"Huh. I wonder why I didn't have that nightmare. I slept great!" Spike said.

"So then... What could've given us all the same nightmare?" Rarity asked.

"I don't know..." Twilight said, drying herself

"Why don't we go to Princess Luna? She might know." Gohan said.

"Good idea! Spike, could you send a scroll to Princess Luna?" Twilight asked.

"Sure!" Spike said, pulling a scroll and a quill out of nowhere.

"Dear Princess Luna,

Last night, all my friends and I dreamt of a creature with blue smoke. For some reason, it died in Gohan's dream but he had a nightmare regardless. I'm sure you're very busy, but when you have the chance, please let me know if you have any idea of what it could be.

Yours,

Princess Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said.

Spike sent the letter to Princess Luna.

Not even three seconds later, Luna came bursting through the door.

"Which of you saw the creature of blue smoke in your nightmare!?" Luna asked.

"Wow... That was fast..." Fluttershy said.

"We all did." Twilight said.

"Not me!" Spike bragged.

"Ugh!" Rainbow Dash said.

"We know!" Her, Rarity and Applejack said.

"So you've encountered the smoke monster too?" Twilight asked.

"The Tantabus is a creature of my nightmares. It escaped from my slumbers yesterday." Luna said.

"B-But, how did it get into ours?" Fluttershy asked.

"The Tantabus is like a parasite. My dreams must no longer be enough for it... Now it seeks others to infect and corrupt. It must learned a few tricks from being in my dreams." Luna said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, so what you're sayin' is... He dreamt about all of them, and not me?" Spike asked.

He felt left out.

"Well, so the smoke gave us bad dreams. No biggie!" Rainbow Dash said.

Luna shook her head. "I saw that the Tantabus had grown more powerful. But I did not realize that power was enough to enable it to escape my dreams." She said.

"If it's power grows, it can find a way to escape into the real world! It can turn all of Equestria into a living nightmare!" She added.

"Okay, okay, okay! I take it back! It's bad! Really bad!" Rainbow Dash said.

"How can we stop it?" Gohan asked.

***

Everyone was back at Twilight's castle.

"We've prepared everything exactly as you requested, Princess Luna." Twilight said.

Eight beds, with seven around Twilight's.

"Very good, you seven shall slumber here. I will visit the dreams it soon infests." Luna said.

"OOH! Sounds like a princess sleepover!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping into bed.

Everyone got into bed.

"Speaking of princesses, aren't you going to ask Princess Celestia for her help?" Twilight asked.

"There is nothing my sister can do. She has no power in the realm of sleep. Only I can move from dream to dream. I'm afraid nopony can help me tonight." Luna said.

"Even us?" Applejack asked.

"Especially you! You've all suffered so much because of me. You need only slumber as I hunt the Tantabus in your dream." Luna said.

Spike was pulling on her mane.

"I know you said you wanted nopony to help, so I'm helping!" Spike said, jumping on a bed.

"So I'm gonna stay awake and keep watch!" Spike said, forcefully keeping his eyes open.

"Aw! Thank you Spike!" Twilight said.

"Well, I guess one advantage of not sleeping yesterday is being able to sleep today..." Applejack said, closing her eyes.

Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared next to her in the bed.

"Are you crazy! This is so exciting! I don't see how we can-" Pinkie Pie said before falling asleep.

Everyone fell asleep.

Except for the two.

Luna accessed each one's dream.

Starting with Rarity.

"Oh my!" Rarity said.

Her dream was full of dresses floating around.

"This is simply divine!" Rarity said.

The Tantabus was lurking around, however.

It turned one of the dresses into a monster with snakes and a mouth!

Rarity reacted by blasting it away.

The Tantabus turned all but one of the dresses into monsters.

Princess Luna appeared.

"It is here!" She said.

The monsters ripped up the last beautiful dress.

Rarity began to cry. "What kind of monster would do this!?" She sobbed, grabbing the remains.

"The Tantabus." Luna said.

"The let's stop it!" Rarity yelled.

"No! You have suffered enough! I will catch it!" Luna said, charging at the Tantabus.

The Tantabus summoned the dress monsters, who quickly fell to Luna.

The Tantabus fled to another dream.

"Oh no! I'm sorry, it fled into another dream! I must go where you cannot!" Luna said, flying after it.

***

Pinkie Pie's dream was all dandy.

She was walking about and singing.

And whenever she jumped, she was in a new location. Like a dragon's nest, to a forest, to the Everfree Forest, and some heavenly place.

Where Princess Luna was.

"I followed the Tantabus here. Now I need only find it!" She said.

Pinkie Pie jumped to the jungle. "Sorry, can't find it! Hops stuck in my head and-" She said as she jumped into a cake wonderland.

"OOH! Cake!" She squealed.

The Tantabus was lurking yet again.

It turned a cake into a monster. And more.

"EW! Cake!" Pinkie Pie said.

The cakes were coming at her.

Luna appeared, destroying each one.

The Tantabus fled into a cake box, and Luna charged after it.

Only to smash into Spike's statue at the Crystal Empire.

"No!" Luna said.

"Sorry!" Pinkie Pie said.

Luna went after the Tantabus again.

***

Fluttershy's dream was nice.

A giant Angel was brushing Fluttershy's hair outside her cottage.

"It's so nice to be the pet for once..." Fluttershy mumbled.

The Tantabus was lurking again.

It turned Angel into a Bunny Monster!

He grew claws, teeth, red eyes, and even bigger!

It roared at Fluttershy.

"N-N-Nice... Giant... Evil... Angel!?" Fluttershy said, cowering.

She screamed before Angel tried to grab her, but Luna saved her in time, placing her atop a giant tree.

"Phew, oh thank you Princess!" Fluttershy said.

The Tantabus escaped into another dream.

Luna quickly followed.

And now the monster was trying to take the tree down.

***

Applejack dreamt of apples.

She was polishing a giant apple twice her size.

"Now this is what I call an incredible dream!" Applejack said.

The Tantabus was lurking yet again.

It turned Applejack's trees into dead ones.

Luna appeared from an apple.

She searched for the Tantabus.

The Tantabus made the giant apple rot!

And escaped to another dream through it!

***

Rainbow Dash was beating up a horde of changelings.

Luna blasted one away.

"I can already see the Tantabus has already turned your dream into a nightmare!" She said.

"What are you talking about? This is my favorite dream!" Rainbow Dash said, delivering a backhand.

The Tantabus turned her dream into a wonderland.

Flowers were singing and playing SHITTYFLUTE.

(If you know it then I clap for you)

Rainbow Dash screamed.

The Tantabus fled into yet another dream!

***

Twilight's dream was... Reading.

She was in a library.

The Tantabus turned her books into monsters.

They flew at Twilight.

The Tantabus was about to devour Twilight, until Luna appeared and blasted the Tantabus.

"Luna!" Twilight said.

The Tantabus was growing weaker, so it escaped into Gohan's dream!

***

Gohan's dream was... Just like the last one.

Some pink thing he couldn't identify was killing his past.

Gohan tried to attack it, but did nothing.

It smacked Gohan away with ease.

Tienshinhan, Chiaotzu and Piccolo were being killed this time.

"Pathetic!" It yelled.

Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan, but even that did nothing.

The Tantabus was lurking around yet again.

It attempted to devour Gohan, but he made his aura flare and fired a heavy blast at it.

Half of the Tantabus was blasted away.

The unidentified pink thing slashed it in two.

"Get out of my sight!" It yelled.

Luna appeared in the dream, only to be slashed by this pink figure.

"No!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2 and charging at the pink thing.

The Tantabus engulfed Luna.

All of a sudden, everything around Gohan went black.

He looked around to see someone in an orange gi.

He was a child, perhaps three quarters the size of Gohan.

He turned around at Gohan.

"Hi! Please help me." He said, with a very high voice.

"What...?" Gohan muttered.

The pink thing cut him in two!

But... It wasn't as gruesome.

In fact, it looked like he just dematerialized instead of blood gushing everywhere.

The pink thing charged at Gohan, and Gohan crossed his arms in a last attempt to block.

***

Gohan woke up!

Everyone else woke up beforehand.

"My gosh Gohan, why are you so mad!?" Spike yelled.

"Huh!?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah... Why are you a Super Saiyan 2?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I am?" Gohan asked. He looked at his drooping hair. "Oh." He said, powering down.

"I am sorry, my friends, I have failed. It will be back to infect your dreams the next time you sleep. But it was somehow weakened by Gohan..." Luna said.

"What? How?" Gohan asked.

"You blasted it, halving it's size, correct?" Luna asked.

"Are you saying I weakened it?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, we will need you to kill it! Though... It appears that the Tantabus did not make your dream a nightmare... It didn't seem like a nightmare." Luna said.

"Should I fall back asleep to try again?" Gohan asked.

"I doubt the Tantabus will return to your dream." Luna said.

"Do you think the rest of Ponyville is infected? Because in my dream, I was having a big ice cream cone in town and everypony came!" Pinkie Pie said.

"WHAT!?" Luna asked.

"All of Equestria will be doomed! It gains more and more power as it enters dreams!" Luna said.

"We can't catch the varmit either!" Applejack said.

"What if we all had the same dream?" Twilight asked.

"I do have the ability to connect dreams... But I fear it may not work. I probably don't possess such power." Luna said.

"Then take mine!" Gohan said, giving half of his full power to Luna.

"W-What is... What!?" Luna asked, brimming with power.

"Let's stop the Tantabus, back to sleep everyone!" Gohan said.

Everyone nodded as they drifted off.

Luna performed the spell, and intertwined everyone's dreams.

***

It was a bit of a catastrophe, flying muffins and whatnot.

There were flying earth ponies, a giant Derpy Hooves making bird noises, and Lyra and Bon Bon being stuck together.

Those were just a few of the many dumb things.

Gohan was looking around for the Tantabus, he could sense it.

It was approaching the dream town with an expanded size.

All of the ponies began to cower, and ran away.

Gohan turned Super Saiyan.

"Hurry, Gohan!" Luna yelled from afar.

Gohan blasted the Tantabus to no avail, it was only minimized.

"I can't do it alone, and it keeps getting stronger!" Gohan yelled as he fired more blasts.

"Everypony, THIS IS A DREAM! WILL ANYTHING YOU WANT FORTH TO DEFEAT THE TANTABUS!" Luna yelled inside a barrier connecting the dreams.

Many ponies did everything, summoning money powers, Power Pony powers, nightmare powers, Big Bird Foot powers, Cat in the Hat Table powers, and etc.

Despite all of the crazy attacks, it kept growing in size, making the surroundings monsters, and desperately clawing to access the rest of Equestria.

Gohan figured something out.

'I can use Instant Transmission!' He thought, putting two fingers to his head.

He appeared in front of the Tantabus, who was about to enter the ripple to Equestria.

His aura flared, making the Tantabus recoil.

"Princess Luna! We need a better plan!" Gohan yelled as he threw ki blasts at it.

"Yeah! This is isn't working too well!" Fluttershy said, turning into Saddle Ranger.

Luna was starting to lose her grip on the dream, her power diminished quickly.

Gohan summoned Goku in the dream.

Surprisingly, a Super Saiyan Blue one.

"Why is your hair blue?" Gohan asked.

"This is what it's like to go beyond a Super Saiyan God!" Goku yelled, charging at the Tantabus.

"Super Saiyan... What?" Gohan asked.

The Tantabus was quickly beaten down by Goku.

But it grew stronger as well.

"I can barely hold this dream! Equestria will fall... Because of me!" Luna sobbed, actually crying.

The Tantabus grew in size, but was halted by the dream Goku.

It was temporary, and the Tantabus grew even larger.

"I think it's feeding off your guilt, Princess Luna!" Twilight yelled.

"KAIO-KEN!" Goku yelled, beating up the Tantabus even more.

Gohan's mouth, along with everyone else was agape.

"Is that so!? Perhaps that it is how it grew strong enough to escape in the first place!" Luna said.

"Say what now!?" Applejack asked.

The Tantabus attempted to leave the dream again, only to be halted by a Kaio-ken 3x Goku.

"I created the Tantabus to give myself the same nightmare every night... To punish myself for the evil I caused as Nightmare Moon!" Luna sobbed.

"But why would you do that!?" Fluttershy yelled.

Goku was now at 4x.

"To make sure I never forgave myself for how much Equestria suffered because of me..." Luna sobbed. "But it seems I have not learned my lesson, for now I have only made you suffer more!" She sobbed.

The Tantabus grew even larger, as Luna's guilt grew.

Goku was now at 5x.

'Dad... You're awesome.' Gohan thought.

"But that means you're the key to stopping all of this!" Twilight said.

"Yeah! If it gets strong as you feel bad like you did as Nightmare Moon, then you have to stop feeling bad for what you did!" Rainbow Dash yelled in her attempts as Zapp to stop the Tantabus, who evolved into a giant alicorn.

"But how could I forgive myself!? I am no better now than I was then, my creation is about to turn the world into a living nightmare!" Luna sobbed.

"But look at what you're doing! Nightmare Moon would've wanted the Tantabus to turn Equestria into a nightmare! You're doing everything you can to stop it!" Twilight yelled.

Goku was now at 6x.

"Don't you see!? That proves you aren't the same pony, Princess Luna! You're better! We all know Nightmare Moon is in the past, and you have to let go!" Gohan yelled.

"We all trust you, Princess Luna! Do you trust us to believe we're right!?" Twilight asked.

Goku was now at 10x.

His aura on top of an aura flared even brighter.

Luna started to smile and stop crying. "I do..." She said.

The Tantabus recoiled and shrunk in size.

It went into Princess Luna where it ultimately disappeared.

"Thank you! Thank you all!" Luna said.

Gohan bowed and ran to his father.

...But the dream ended and now he couldn't talk to him again.

***

It was sunrise...

Everyone woke up!

"Luna did it!" Twilight yelled.

"She sure did!... But I'm not exactly sure what she did." Applejack said.

"Luna created the Tantabus to punish herself, the worse she felt, the more power it gained. But when she finally forgave herself for what Nightmare Moon did..." Twilight said.

"Poof!" Spike said.

Fluttershy hushed them.

She pointed her hoof at a sleeping Luna.

So peacefully.

"Huh. Wonder what she's dreaming about now." Spike said.

"Same here... Oh, and I learned Instant Transmission!" Gohan said.

"You did?" Twilight asked.

"Yep!" Gohan said, teleporting all over the room.

He finally stopped on his bed.

"H-How!? You couldn't do it before!" Twilight said.

"I took it from the dream." Gohan said.

"You can't attain anything from dreams!" Twilight said.

"Except knowledge." Gohan said with a smirk.

"I- Oh. I should've thought of that." Twilight said.

***

(To clarify, Dream Goku is weak as hell. Even as a SSGSS he sucks. Regular Goku would eat the Tantabus as a snack.)

When Shining Armor and Cadence told everyone they were having a baby, everyone was shocked.

Especially Gohan.

***

"A baby!?" Gohan said to himself.

"Dear Son Gohan,

We cordially invite you to the party of our upcoming baby. It will be held at Sugarcube Corner on Friday. We ask that you provide extra security and do not tell anypony else about this. Especially Twilight. We also have a very big surprise for you. We hope to see you!

Yours,

Shining Armor
Princess Cadence"

"Oh boy! So they finally had one!" He said to himself.

***

The Mane 6 arrived at Sugarcube Corner after a scavenger hunt.

Gohan, Shining Armor and Cadence were all waiting there.

"Surprise!" Shining Armor said.

He walked up to Twilight. "Twily, did you like the scavenger hunt?" He asked.

"It was perfect! Just like old times! This time it was better because I got to share it with my best friends!" Twilight said.

"There's just one thing missing, isn't there? You know, the book prize at the end...?" She asked.

Shining Armor chuckled.

"There's still a prize, but it's a little different this time." He said.

"Oh... I don't understand. Does Gohan know?" Twilight asked.

Pinkie Pie grinned widely and squealed.

"Not really, I'm waiting for it as much as you." Gohan said.

"All the places we sent you to today have something in common." Cadence said.

"...First we went to the schoolhouse..." Twilight said.

Pinkie Pie was struggling to keep it in.

"Then we read the Foal Free Press," Twilight said.

Pinkie Pie was biting her own tongue at this point.

"We had to see Applejack's birth certificate," Twilight said.

Pinkie Pie held the Cakes' babies in her hooves.

"And then the last clue was under a crib." She said.

Pinkie Pie was dying.

"Hm... School, foal, birth certificate, crib..." She said.

Twilight had the realization and gasped.

"Can it be!? Are you two...?" Twilight asked.

"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" Cadence and Shining Armor said.

"A BABY TWILIGHT! IT'S A BABY!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she sprung around the room screaming: "Woohoo!"

Twilight was shocked.

"Y-You mean... I'm gonna be an aunt!?" Twilight asked.

The soon to be parents smiled.

"THIS IS THE BEST PRIZE EVER!" Twilight exclaimed, smiling brightly.

The two laughed.

Twilight ran up to give Shining Armor a hug.

"Oh I love you guys! And I can't wait to meet your little foal!" Twilight said.

"Neither can we. And Gohan, we haven't told you your surprise yet." Shining Armor said.

"I want to know." Gohan said with a smile.

"We personally ask you... To be the godfather." Cadence said.

(I'm using Chinese tradition, not Christian nor Jewish. Don't go to the comments saying I was wrong.)

Gohan's smile turned into a shocked face.

"G-Godfather!?" He asked.

"Godfather!?" Everyone else except for Shining Armor asked.

Gohan's mouth was agape. He pointed at himself.

Cadence giggled. "Of course! If anything were to happen, we want to put our trust in you to take care of the foal." She said.

Gohan regained his composure and smiled brightly. "I'd be honored!" He said.

"But why me?" He soon asked.

"Well, we trust you the most to protect our foal. You are the strongest being on this planet, and possibly the universe." Shining Armor said.

"Aw..." Gohan said, blushing a little.

"Woohoo! Gohan's gonna be a GODFATHER!" Pinkie Pie screamed.

"Wow! You have yet another duty, Gohan!" Twilight said.

"Yep!" Gohan said.

"And with Gohan's new awesome ability, it should be easy!" Rainbow Dash said.

"What is it?" Shining Armor asked.

"Oh, it's just this." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead.

"Tell me anywhere in Equestria." He said.

"Mostcow...?" Cadence asked.

"Okay, be right back." He said vanishing.

He suddenly came back with an fur hat.

"Привет." He said.

"D-Did you just go to Mostcow!?" Shining Armor asked.

"Yes. Now I demand some блин!" Gohan yelled.

Everyone looked at him confused.

"Pancakes. I want some pancakes." He said.

"I'LL GET YOU SOME!" Pinkie Pie yelled, rushing into the kitchen.

***

Hearth's Warming was pretty good.

He went to the world of Equestria Girls for it.

(I'm technically using the 2014 Comic Special for this, but changing it pretty drastically. By drastically I mean barely, I'm just putting a few lines for Gohan! Just kidding, but hah!)

***

Gohan stared at the town from afar.

'Hearth's Warming... It's coming. It's just like Christmas... Families get to together, while me and plenty of others are alone... Again.' He thought.

Despite this negative thought, he couldn't help but smile.

Twilight was approaching with Celestia's book to Sunset Shimmer.

"Gohan!" She yelled.

"What's up?" Gohan asked.

"Read!" Twilight said, opening the book with her magic.

"Dear Princess.... Huh?" Gohan asked.

"They want you to go there for Hearth's Warming! Well, a before party, technically." Twilight said, closing the book.

"Huh. That's... That's good." Gohan said a little too excitedly.

Twilight giggled. "Why are you so excited? Do you have a crush~?" She sneered.

"No!" Gohan retorted. "It's just... Hearth's Warming hasn't been a happy occasion for me. Except for when I got my sword, I felt that was a Chris- I mean, Hearth's Warming present. I'm just really happy that they invited me." He said.

"Well, you better get them a present!" Twilight said.

"I'm already on it!" Gohan said as he flew away.

"Thanks for telling me!" He yelled at Twilight.

Twilight waved.

***

Gohan had a blue sack full of gifts for his friends.

He was at Twilight's castle, where the decorations were crazy.

"So you're going over there for Hearth's Warming? You better be a stud over there." Spike joked.

"Hey! I don't want that!" Gohan retorted.

"Come on, don't you have a crush or two over there?" Spike joked.

"No." Gohan said.

"Oh. Okay...? I'm actually surprised." Twilight said.

"...I'll be leaving now." Gohan said, ending the awkwardness.

"You best." Twilight and Spike said.

Gohan entered the portal.

***

The human Mane 6 were outside the portal, wearing all kinds of coats and scarves.

It was snowing.

"Is he even coming?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It's only been two minutes." Applejack said.

"I know, but this is boring!" Rainbow Dash whined.

"He visits like, every two days. Except for the last two weeks. Calm down!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"And we are doing this for him. He doesn't spend Hearth's Warming with a family. At least, not anymore." Fluttershy said.

"I wonder if he'll get us gifts!" Pinkie Pie said.

"I doubt it. He's only a kid! What kid can-" Rarity said before Gohan came through the portal with a blue sack.

"Well, I'll be." Rarity said.

"Hi..." He said awkwardly.

"What's with the sack?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Gifts." Gohan said.

"That's very thoughtful of you." Fluttershy said.

Gohan laughed awkwardly. "It's not like I'd show up empty handed..." He said.

***

The human Mane 6 and Gohan were in Pinkie Pie's room for Hearth's Warming Eve.

"I'm surprised you all were able to come here. I expected you all to be with your families." Gohan said.

"Come on! We're all technically family here!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Yeah, and we'd rather spend Hearth's Warming with someone without a family to do it with." Rainbow Dash said.

"Aw, you didn't have to..." Gohan said, blushing lightly.

"Of course we did! I would feel horrible if I spent Hearth's Warming knowing you didn't have somebody to spend it with." Fluttershy said.

"You're too nice, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said.

"But she has seriously huge amounts of hidden potential as a fighter! Remember when she was able to knock you out with a single punch, Rainbow?" Gohan asked.

"Hey! I was taking it easy on her!" Rainbow Dash retorted.

"I'm still sorry I did that." Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, okay." Rainbow Dash said.

"What's happened over there?" Applejack asked.

"Well, I'm going to be a godfather now." Gohan said.

"No way! Why?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Because the princess trusts me, as I'm the strongest being on the planet and we're very close." Gohan said.

"That's cool." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Oh, and I learned this." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his head and teleporting around the entire room multiple times.

"Okay, this is scaring me!" Fluttershy said.

"The sounds are killing me!" Rarity said.

Gohan stopped. "Sorry." He said.

"Are you gonna teach us that!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Of course!... Once you all learn how to use ki." Gohan said.

"Awesome." Rainbow Dash said.

"Anything happen over here?" Gohan asked.

"While doing exercises, I, as awesome as I am, somehow grew my wings." Rainbow Dash said.

"It was truly a shock." Rarity said.

"Perhaps that's even more hidden potential in you all." Gohan said.

"Other than that, nothing really." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Okay." Gohan said.

"Now it's time for the fun part of a slumber party!" Pinkie Pie said, putting emphasis on fun.

"...Huh?" Gohan asked.

"It's time for more gossip and hair brushing and video games and scary stories and hanging out and talking and best of all..." Pinkie Pie sputtered.

Then Maud Pie appeared in the doorway carrying sixteen pizzas.

"Here are the sixteen pizzas you ordered, Pinkie." She said.

Pinkie Pie hugged her sister. "Oh Maud! You're the best sister ever!" She exclaimed.

"The grease is dripping on my shoes." Maud said.

Gohan lifted the pizzas from Maud's hands.

"Thank you." She said, walking away.

Gohan set the pizzas on the ground. "Why did you order about 210 dollars worth of pizzas!?" He asked.

"Mainly for you, silly!" Pinkie Pie said.

"You guys really didn't have to do all this." Gohan said.

"Agreement." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Why? Is this also a returning experience for you?" Gohan asked.

"Yep. It's been a while since I've celebrated Hearth's Warming. Even as Princess Celestia's student I barely spent Hearth's Warming with anypo- Anybody." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Well... At least we get to have this good experience." Gohan said.

"You know, we're gonna do this EVERYDAY before Hearth's Warming day?" Pinkie Pie said.

"At various locations." Rarity said.

"May I ask why?" Gohan asked.

"Because..." Then Pinkie Pie whispered something in Gohan's ear.

"Uh... Okay. I can't come to any more after this." He said.

"Why, darling?" Rarity asked.

"I can't keep slacking on my training, and I also may never know when I'm called to solve a friendship problem." Gohan said.

"What kind of training has it turned into?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"990x Earth's normal gravity with the same 4300 kilograms of weighted clothing. I tend to use the Multi-Form Technique so I can actually give myself a decent challenge." Gohan said.

"Well, you're going to need a feast to satisfy you!" Rarity said.

"Now eat up!" Pinkie Pie said, forcefully pulling Gohan's jaw down and stuffing a pizza in his mouth.

Gohan chewed very quickly and swallowed. "Please don't do that ever again." He said.

Rainbow Dash raced to the video games and started to eat some pizza. "Hey Fluttershy! Play some 'Magic Drive Racer VI Deluxe' with me!" She said.

"Oh, I don't know..." Fluttershy said as Rainbow Dash handed her a controller.

"It'll help you relax!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Thank you, but I-" "Look! You can play as a fuzzy bunny with a monster truck!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.

Fluttershy completely changed.

"I will destroy all my enemies." She said with flaming eyes.

Gohan could feel some random shift in power from her.

'Okay, best to steer clear of that. I feel bad for Rainbow Dash. Again.' He thought.

***

Only about an hour later, everyone but Gohan wore their pajamas.

He only removed his boots and orange shirt. He neatly folded them in the corner of the room.

"Why not take off the blue shirt and keep the orange?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Keeping my weighted clothing on is good for me. I removed my boots. And I'm glad it's not going through the floor." Gohan said.

"Thanks, girls- and guy." Sunset Shimmer said. "I haven't done anything like this in a long time! It's good to have friends." She said.

"Yep! Without the pony versions of you, I would probably be dead because of numerous stomach ulcers." Gohan said.

"That sounds gross!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"That's because it is. Science is what we nerds call disgusting yet intriguing." Gohan said.

"Man, it means a lot to me having friends that suppo-" Applejack said before her phone rang.

She sighed as she picked up the phone. It was a video chat.

"Whoever this is, you just ruined a really heartwarming-" "And disgusting!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.

"Moment." Applejack finished.

"Hey big sis." Applebloom said on the other side.

"Granny wanted me to call and make sure you're doin' alright." Applebloom said.

"Of course I am! I'm with all my friends! Including your 'crush.'" Applejack joked.

"I don't have a crush on him!" Applebloom retorted.

Gohan REALLY didn't want to become Mr. Romantic ever.

"Whatever. Tell Granny I'm alright!" Applejack said.

"Yeah! She's fine! She's wearing nail polish!" Sunset Shimmer joked.

"Lemme see!" Applebloom said.

Applejack sighed as she pointed the front camera at her fingernails.

Gohan just happened to be in the shot, eating pizza.

"Who's that?" Applebloom asked.

"It's me." Gohan said.

"Oh. I couldn't recognize you by the blue shirt." Applebloom said.

"I wear this all the time!" Gohan retorted.

"Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm just the messenger. AJ, good night, Piggly Wiggly." Applebloom said, hanging up.

"Did your sister just call you 'Piggly Wiggly?'" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Uh, yeah. She did." Applejack said.

"Why?" Gohan asked.

"When I was real little, I used to follow Granny Smith around when she was doing chores. I specifically loved it when she fed the pigs. So one day, I snuck into the pigpen and played with the pigs. Granny Smith I stayed in there for hours! So she started calling me 'Piggly Wiggly' and the nickname kind of stuck. Applebloom likes to use it when she thinks I'm getting too big for my britches. Well, that's family for you." Applejack said.

"Yeah..." Gohan said.

"Who wants milk and cookies! Or cocoa! Or cupcakes and cake and everything here!" Pinkie Pie said, suddenly making cups of milk, cocoa, cupcakes, cookies, cake, candy, and etc appear.

Everyone was shocked.

"H-How did you do that...?" Applejack asked.

"I have my secrets!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Just like we all do." Gohan said.

"Yeah... What kinds of secrets do you have...?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"I'd say probably very similar to people my age. Or people in general." Gohan said.

"Why in general?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Let's change the subject, and stop talking about me. Let's eat!" Gohan said.

Everyone cheered as they began to eat the many sweets Pinkie Pie had made.

And Gohan just began to devour it.

"My goodness! Your metabolism is insane!" Rarity said.

"I can't imagine eating like that..." Fluttershy said.

Everyone got full of the sweets.

Gohan drank most of the milk and cocoa while leaving generous amounts for his friends.

"Phew! Thanks Pinkie!" Gohan said, patting his stomach.

"No problem!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Alright, I'm off to bed." Gohan said, laying down beside the bed.

"But we haven't even watched the Hearth's Warming movie! And games!" Pinkie Pie said.

"How much of this night did you plan!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Juuuust a little." Pinkie Pie said.

"Perhaps we should move that to tomorrow, it is very late. 10:24 PM!" Rarity said.

"Yeah, and I'm ready to crash!" Gohan said.

"Let me get you a sleeping bag." Rarity said.

"Nah, good night!" Gohan said, closing his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Applejack asked.

Gohan didn't respond.

"How does he do that...?" Rarity asked.

"I think it's best not to ask about it." Rainbow Dash said.

***

Everyone was asleep.

It had been about three hours.

Or 1:28 AM, if you care about that.

Everyone was dreaming peacefully...

Except Gohan, he was having a 'nightmare' again.

***

Gohan dreamt of being back on Earth...

But back to trying in vain to kill the pink creature murdering everybody.

This time it was a town.

Gohan tried to hit the creature, only to be punched in the stomach and punched away.

'Wait... This is a dream, right. I can just summon my dad!' Gohan thought.

He got up, and imagined his dad!

...Nothing happened.

"What!?" Gohan asked.

He desperately tried in vain to summon anything.

Vegeta landed nearby. He had a bodysuit with no sleeves.

"Vegeta!" Gohan said.

Vegeta didn't respond, turning Super Saiyan.

He let out a war cry as he charged at this creature.

He was seemingly brutalizing it.

But it stuck a black blade into Vegeta.

Vegeta coughed out blood.

Gohan rushed to Vegeta's aid, but for some reason, he couldn't touch them. His hands and body phased through them.

'It was just able to hit me a moment ago!' Gohan thought.

"Get out of my sight!" It yelled, blasting Vegeta to oblivion.

The town was also destroyed.

Gohan was unaffected, somehow.

Gohan tried in vain to get the pink creature to disappear.

He tried imagining, attacking, and even turned Super Saiyan.

***

Gohan's grunts and going Super Saiyan awakened the girls around him.

"What's going on..." Rainbow Dash asked drowsily.

"What's happening to Gohan?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

Gohan was sweating, and his aura pushed the blue blanket the girls set on him off him.

***

The pink creature flew away, and Gohan quickly followed.

He threw ki blasts, everything.

Nothing happened!

'What is this, not a dream!?' Gohan thought.

Some other yellow being smashed itself into the pink creature.

It looked like a mini Goku!

"You... Killed... Mom!" He yelled.

The pink creature merely laughed in response.

"She was clearly begging for me to destroy her. I even ended her in the afterlife." It said.

"You killed this kid's mother twice!?" Gohan yelled.

"If you must know, it was yours." The pink creature said.

"Who are you talking to?" The boy asked.

Gohan was shocked. "Y-You didn't kill Chi Chi!" He yelled.

The pink creature laughed in response.

Gohan was enraged. He knew his mother disowned him, but he had an undying love for her!

He turned Super Saiyan 2!

Instead, it quickly knocked Gohan aside.

'Suddenly his attacks work!?' Gohan thought.

The creature kicked the boy down to the ground.

'Wait... Is he my brother!?' Gohan thought.

***

"WAKE UP!" Pinkie Pie yelled, unleashing an air horn in Gohan's ear.

Gohan sat up, panting with sweat.

"Thank goodness you woke up!" Rarity said.

"What kind of nightmare would turn your hair into that!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"W-What!? Where is he!?" Gohan yelled, scanning the room.

"Who is he?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

Gohan finally realized the dream, or whatever it was was finally over.

"P-Please go back to your normal form!" Fluttershy squeaked.

"Yeah, your face is really scary." Rainbow Dash said.

Gohan realized he was a Super Saiyan 2 in real life.

He powered down.

"I'm so sorry... I turned into a Super Saiyan 2..." Gohan said.

"THAT'S a Super Saiyan 2? No wonder everyone you use it on loses!" Rainbow Dash said.

"What kind of nightmare did you even have...?" Rarity asked.

"It... Was nothing." Gohan lied.

"Definitely not!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Sugarcube, I know a lie when I see one." Applejack said.

"Look, I really don't want to talk about it! Let's... Let's just go back to sleep!" Gohan said.

"Then... Good night." Fluttershy said, going back under her blankets on Pinkie Pie's bed.

'Wasn't this just a Tantabus thing? Why is it back now...? So late?' Gohan thought.

***

The next morning, everybody was eating incredible amounts of popcorn and opening gifts.

The six were doing some sort of gift exchange while they also gave Gohan a gift.

Rainbow Dash exchanged with Fluttershy, Rarity exchanged with Applejack and Pinkie Pie exchanged with Sunset Shimmer.

And Gohan brought a damn sack.

"Well, here ya go Sunset!" Pinkie Pie said, handing her gift over.

Sunset Shimmer unwrapped the candy cane snow wrapping and found a...

Another wrap.

"How many layers of wrap did you add?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Only 7!" Pinkie Pie said.

Sunset Shimmer finally unveiled...

A sunflower pillow.

She gasped!

"How did you know!?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Know that you like sunflowers? Just a hunch!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Thanks!" Sunset Shimmer said.

Rainbow Dash sighed. "Okay, here's yours." She said, handing her gift to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy unwrapped her gift.

It was a new pink tambourine.

"Oh my! I thought none of you knew!" Fluttershy said.

"You started to not show up to practice. I also saw you drop it." Rainbow Dash said.

"Thank you." Fluttershy said, handing Rainbow Dash her gift.

Rainbow Dash received a new video game controller.

"Y-You broke yours the last time we were here..." Fluttershy said.

"Thanks! This is awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.

Rarity gave Applejack her gift.

"Here you are." She said.

Applejack unwrapped her present to reveal...

New apple boots.

"Well, I do need some new boots for the fields. Thanks Rarity." Applejack said.

She handed Rarity's gift to her.

Rarity unwrapped her gift to reveal...

A blue sweater with three diamonds/her cutie mark on it.

"Aw, it's perfect!" She said, putting it on.

"Okay, now it's my turn! For Pinkie, she gets..." Gohan said, pulling out a party cannon for Pinkie Pie.

"W-What is that!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"A party cannon! It only shoots out party stuff and confetti. It's not strong enough for an actual cannonball." Gohan said.

"I love it!" Pinkie Pie said, firing confetti all over Gohan.

"Oops!" She said.

"It has about two more shots. You will have to refill it before-" Gohan said before Pinkie Pie fired two more blasts of confetti at Gohan.

His entire body was just confetti.

Everyone was snickering.

Gohan laughed.

He uncovered himself and put some of it inside the cannon again.

"Don't fire it when it's empty or else it will break down." Gohan said.

"How did you even get that?" Fluttershy said.

"The other world's Pinkie Pie has about 500 of these." Gohan said.

"W-Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence...?" Sunset Shimmer said.

"Because I stopped questioning it a long time ago. Anyway, for Applejack..." Gohan said, pulling out a lasso.

"A lasso!?" Applejack asked.

"Mine snapped! Thanks!" She said, taking the gift.

"Great! Just don't try to bre-" Gohan said before Applejack lassoed him.

"Sorry." She said.

"It's fine." He said, getting himself out of the rope.

"For Rarity..." Gohan said, pulling out Rarity's fabric from when she visited Manehattan for a competition.

"Oh my! It's amazing! It's so vibrant!" Rarity said.

"It's an entire roll. Use it however you wish." Gohan said, handing it to her.

"Thank you very much." Rarity said.

"Alrighty, for Fluttershy..." Gohan said, pulling out a bird's whistle.

"Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy said.

"It's a bird's whistle." He said, handing it to her.

"Thank you so much!" Fluttershy said, blowing into the whistle.

Moments later, a bird flew into the window.

"Oops! Sorry Mr. Bird!"
Fluttershy said.

The bird just flew away.

"For Rainbow Dash..." Gohan said, pulling out... Nothing?

He just walked up to her and put his hand on her head.

Rainbow Dash received a slight shock.

"W-What did you just do...?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I just gave you the ability to use ki. In a basic way, at most." Gohan said, taking his hand away.

"Wait, you just gave her the ability?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Yeah, I thought she'd like that compared to a book." Gohan said, turning his head towards Sunset Shimmer.

"Then you were right!" Rainbow Dash said, firing a very minor and weak ki blast at Gohan.

It struck him in the face.

"Why don't you just do that to us!?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Relax. I just gave her knowledge on how to utilize her life energy in the most basic way. You'll learn." Gohan said.

"Kamehameha!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing...

A very weak yellow blast that fell to the ground and disintegrated.

"Oh." She said.

"See? She's doesn't have the entire knowledge. And you guys will learn the next time we have a training session." Gohan said.

"Cool!" Fluttershy said.

"And finally, for Sunset Shimmer..." Gohan said, pulling out...

New guitar strings...?

"I got the memo that they snapped." Gohan said.

"Wait, Twilight told you?" Sunset Shimmer asked, taking them.

"You COULD say that." Gohan said.

"Thanks! But... These strings are expensive! How did you afford them in Equestria?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"My occupation remains to be protector of Equestria. I receive a hefty paycheck from the princesses every week." Gohan said.

"Well... Thanks!" She said.

"And now we have to give you your gift!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Yeah, and- Wait, you got a gift for me?" Gohan asked.

"Uh... Yeah. What did you expect? For us to be greedy?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I... I didn't take this into account, heh." Gohan said.

"Well, here you go!" Pinkie Pie said, handing Gohan a present.

"We all put our thoughts into it." Fluttershy said.

"I'm sure I'll like it." Gohan said, unwrapping it.

It was a mock glass four star dragon ball.

It looked very authentic.

Gohan was confused. "How did you...?" He asked.

"We made it! I know you used to wear it on your hat. We all do!" Pinkie Pie said.

Gohan smiled. "I love it." He said.

"My dad cherished it for his grandpa. I guess I should do the same for them, huh?" Gohan asked.

"Yup!" Rainbow Dash said.

"And I also cherish it because you guys made it." Gohan said.

"Hugs?" He asked, gesturing for a hug.

Everyone got into a group hug.

"Hey! Let's take a picture of this!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out her phone.

They all took a selfie.

Then the rest of the day was spent taking pictures and watching movies like: "How The Grinch Stole Hearth's Warming" and "A Hearth's Warming Carol"

And now they had to go home for family stuff.

And Gohan went home because of just that.

Well, he didn't go to the next slumber party at Rarity's.

***

I guess you could call that some sort of holiday special.

Discord was a little productive with Gohan during the three days Twilight and Spike were busy in the library.

He only raised the gravity machine's capability by... a million.

Great for Gohan since he managed to tank 1000x gravity, the max.

Finally, he was called by the map to do something about friendship.

And again, in the Equestria Girls world.

***

Gohan was training in his newly upgraded gravity chamber.

He was taking it slow at 1010x normal gravity.

Suddenly, he started to glow yellow.

"Huh. Wonder why that- Oh!" Gohan said, turning off the machine.

He quickly flew to Twilight's castle.

***

"So you finally have a friendship problem to solve, huh?" Twilight asked.

"Uh, yeah. And the map wants me to go to... The human world. I visit them far too often." Gohan said.

"Something hopefully good and not weird." Twilight said.

***

Gohan came through the portal yet again, where the Mane 6 were waiting yet again.

"Hey! Ready for training?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Sure. But I'm also here for another- Hey... Where's Sunset Shimmer?" Gohan asked.

"She went and back stabbed us again!" Applejack said.

"Now why would she ever do that?" Gohan asked.

"I dunno. She totally made us look horrible in these photos!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling her phone out.

The photo in question was Gohan beating Rainbow Dash at soccer.

"Hm... Hey, it says it was posted by 'Anon-A-Miss!'" Gohan said.

"Uh yeah! Sunset Shimmer is Anon-A-Miss!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Really?... This really isn't something she's do..." Gohan noted.

"I don't wanna even talk about it anymore." Applejack said.

Gohan tried finding Sunset Shimmer's presence...

It was inside the library of the school.

"I'll be back." He said, walking into the school.

"What about training?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice!" Gohan yelled as he entered the school.

"Uh... Huh." Applejack said.

The rest just looked on in confusion.

"Let's just go to Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie Pie said.

***

Last period ended, the bell rang, and Sunset Shimmer's free library period ended.

She walked in the crowded halls until she bumped into EVERYONE.

She eventually fell.

"Who did that?" She asked.

"Maybe it was Anon-A-Miss." A person said.

"Anon-A-Miss." Another person said.

"Secret stalker." Another person said.

"I can't believe she did that." Another person said.

The insults kept pouring in.

Sunset Shimmer began to cry.

"Traitor." Some said.

"You ruined my life." Some said.

"Thief." Some said.

"Monster." Some said.

Sunset Shimmer was really breaking down.

Suddenly,

"STOP!" Someone yelled.

"Get away from her!" Someone yelled.

Sunset Shimmer looked up in confusion.

Everyone else also looked.

It was Gohan.

"G...Gohan?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"What do you have to add to this? She hurt you too!" Someone said.

"She has NEVER hurt me. Now leave her alone before I hurt YOU." Gohan said very sternly.

The students walked away. Some gave Sunset Shimmer dirty looks, and etc.

The halls were finally empty.

Sunset Shimmer saw two blue boots in her peripheral vision.

Gohan held his hand out.

"D-Do you believe me...?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"I'll admit, I'm late to the party. But I can side with my friend any day." Gohan said.

Sunset Shimmer took his hand and stood up, collecting her dropped things.

"Now, we need to discuss what actually happened." Gohan said.

***

The two were back in the library, sitting in the chairs.

"I don't know! This girl named Anon-A-Miss stole the pictures I took when we had slumber parties... She posted them on MyStable, and she made us look like complete idiots! She even stole the picture of you sleeping!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"W-Why did you take a picture of me...?" Gohan asked.

"We laughed at the fact that you were able to sleep on the hard floor. We wanted to remember with the photo. Anyway, now everyone thinks I'm Anon-A-Miss and she manages to humiliate everyone even more!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"Now, be 100% honest with me. You are not Anon-A-Mous, correct?" Gohan asked.

"I'm not!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"Now, stand still." Gohan said, standing up and placing his hand on her head.

He read her memories up until the point of the beginning of December.

"Yeah. You aren't Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said, sitting down.

"Thank goodness ONE person believes me." Sunset Shimmer said, actually smiling.

"Well, then let's try to talk to our friends and finally end this mess!" Gohan said.

***

Two people entered Sugarcube Corner.

Said people received many dirty looks.

The five friends were sitting down in their usual lounge spot.

"Hey! Get out! You're not welcome here, Sunset!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, standing up.

"Rainbow Dash, I swear, she is not Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said.

"We will require some proof!" Rarity said.

"I read her mind. She really isn't." Gohan said.

"But there's a lot of compelling evidence!" Rarity said.

"Yeah! The pictures Anon-A-Miss, or Sunset posted were from Sunset's phone! Somehow she was able to get test scores, personal moments and everything!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Are you all really going to denounce your friendship with her over something she never did?" Gohan asked.

"You mean over something she ACTUALLY did? She even convinced you with her lies!" Rainbow Dash said.

Sunset Shimmer ran out of the place in tears.

"Sunset!" Gohan said.

"It's for the best. She used us!" Applejack said.

"We thought she was family, that secret stealer!" Pinkie Pie said.

Gohan frowned at his friends then slowly walked out of Sugarcube Corner.

"How did she get HIM of all people on her side?" Fluttershy asked, very uncharacteristically.

***

Sunset Shimmer was leaning into a telephone pole, crying.

"Sunset Shimmer." Gohan said.

"It's useless. They'll never believe us." Sunset Shimmer said.

"They will! I promise, I will prove your innocence!" Gohan said.

Sunset Shimmer sniffed. "Y-You would....?" She asked.

"Yes, come on, we have a ton of research to do." Gohan said, grabbing Sunset Shimmer's hand and using Instant Transmission.

***

The two appeared back in the library.

"Huh. I guess teleportation is great!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"Let's get down to business. If we want to get our friends to believe you, we have to get to the bottom of this. Just who is Anon-A-Miss?" Gohan asked.

"Like a said, nobody knows." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Hm... Is there any student who hasn't been affected by Anon-A-Miss?" Gohan asked.

"I don't know." Sunset Shimmer said.

"I know I'm asking for a lot right now, but can you get a list of every student in the school, and take me to this Anon-A-Miss on the internet?" Gohan asked.

"No, it's actually easy." Sunset Shimmer said, using the library computer to access the school website.

She printed out a list of every student at CHS.

It was a good 9 pages long.

Then, she changed it MyStable.

She set it to Anon-A-Miss's page.

"You look at these." She said.

"Thanks." Gohan said.

"Also, is everyone mad at each other again?" He asked.

"Well, yeah. The school is divided as ever... And everyone thinks it's me!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"We're gonna convince them otherwise!" Gohan said, clicking on a picture.

"Why are you trying to hard to defend me?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"You're my friend. Of course I'd try so hard to defend you!" Gohan said.

"...Thanks, Gohan." Sunset Shimmer said, hugging him.

"Do whatever you have to do, I'm staying here." Gohan said.

"Uh... You sure?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"The library is my home." Gohan said, grabbing a pen from the cup of pens on the table.

He began crossing out names.

***

The next morning

Sunset Shimmer was asleep on top of books.

And Gohan was STILL crossing out names.

He kept taking urls of pictures he didn't know the people to and used 'Search by Image' to find the name.

Oh god, it's 5:34 AM.

Sunset Shimmer actually woke up this fucking early.

"Good-... A-Are you still awake?" She asked.

"Yep!" Gohan said proudly, crossing out two more names.

He just went through a pen and grabbed another.

"I narrowed it down to about nine people, and I'm not done yet!" Gohan said.

"N-Nine!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Have you been up all night?" She asked.

"Yep! And surprisingly, the Crusaders happen to be in the top nine." Gohan said.

"Really? I'd expect them of all people to be affected by Anon-A-Miss by now." Sunset Shimmer said.

"You mean they do equally weird stuff here as they do in Equestria?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah. Until they said they found their calling." Sunset Shimmer said.

"I'm guessing this happened about a week ago." Gohan said.

"Yeah..." Sunset Shimmer said.

Gohan crossed out more names.

"Six." He said.

"Do you think they're behind this?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"No, I wouldn't expect them of all people." Gohan said, clicking.

Sunset Shimmer took another look at the paper with the names.

"I know Flash Sentry isn't behind this, he was affected." She said.

"Really? Good. Five." Gohan said, crossing out his name.

Gohan crossed out one more name.

"Now, I know you're not Anon-A-Miss, but you and the Crusaders happen to stay on the list." Gohan said.

"So it's them?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"From every photo and post Anon-A-Miss posted, you and them have not been shamed yet. I really hope it isn't them." Gohan said.

"We have our evidence!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"Not yet." Gohan said.

"Huh? Why not?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"If we presented this as evidence," Gohan said, flashing the paper. "It would only bring the same amount of suspicion on you and them. Nobody is going to believe you, not even our friends. We can't prove your innocence with memories and talking. We need actual proof that the Crusaders did this." Gohan said.

"But how?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Hm... Let's try to find a motive. Applebloom wasn't happy to call us at Pinkie's Hearth's Warming slumber party..." Gohan said.

"That's right... She's also the other person who knows about Applejack being nicknamed as 'Piggly Wiggly!'" Sunset Shimmer said.

"Anything else?" Gohan asked.

"We had a slumber party at Rarity's, and Rarity put Sweetie Belle to bed early... Hm..." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Was she angered?" Gohan asked.

"She wasn't happy about it, yeah." Sunset Shimmer said.

"We have a motive." Gohan said, grabbing a blank paper.

He wrote down the motive of every Crusader except Scootaloo.

"Hm... Did Rainbow Dash do anything to Scootaloo?" Gohan asked.

"I don't think so." Sunset Shimmer said.

"We don't have a strong motive for Applebloom, but a strong one for Sweetie Belle and none for Scootaloo." Gohan said.

"Is that enough?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Definitely not. We have motive, but no real evidence to back it up other than the name list. Hm..." Gohan said, scrolling through the photos and posts again.

"I'll save you the time. Most of them are our group of friends. Other than that, just a few per person." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Really... Then who would you say did this one about Rainbow?" Gohan asked, pulling up a photo of Rainbow Dash's failed science research paper.

"The bench... That was definitely taken on the soccer field... It has to be Scootaloo! Rainbow only lets her into her bag." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Great! This is evidence, let's print it out!" Gohan said, right clicking and clicking print.

"Is that enough?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Nope! We still need more evidence. This is a good piece, but it's not enough." Gohan said, taking the picture out of the printer.

"What got the girls convinced that you were responsible?" He asked.

"Well, Anon-A-Miss got her hands on photos from Rarity's slumber party, all of which I took..." Sunset Shimmer said.

"That was the same night Sweetie Belle was put to bed early, correct?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah... And only she and Rarity's family were the other people there!" Sunset Shimmer said.

Gohan printed only a few pictures.

"Perfect. We have proof that Scootaloo could've done it, Sweetie Belle most likely did it, and Applebloom... Not much." Gohan said.

"Hm... The only thing we can prove about Applebloom is that she knows about Applejack's secret. That was her first attack." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Then..." Gohan said before yawning. "Excuse me." He said, writing it down.

"Do you need to sleep? We can continue this tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, yawning herself.

"Nope! Senzu beans come in handy." Gohan said, reaching into his pouch and grabbing two senzu beans.

He handed one to Sunset Shimmer. "Do I have to eat it?" She asked.

Gohan ate his, and he was full energy again.

"You're still tired, I know. You barely slept last night." He said.

Sunset Shimmer shrugged and ate the bean.

"This is awesome." She said.

"Alright, assessment of the case.

Sunset Shimmer - Thought to be Anon-A-Miss.

Evidence - Anon-A-Miss has posted photos belonging to Sunset Shimmer. Also, her past actions can add to this.

Defense - Thought Applebloom, Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo is Anon-A-Miss.

Evidence - Also capable of posting photos and secrets belonging to various people, especially Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack." Gohan said.

"...Wow." Sunset Shimmer said.

"What?" Gohan asked.

"Well... You keep defending me, and this has to be the most you've ever done." Sunset Shimmer said.

"We don't need to be all thankful, I don't need it. I just want you guys to be together again." Gohan said.

Sunset Shimmer smiled. "You're a good boy." She said.

Gohan blushed slightly. "Uh... Thanks. Anyway, we have proof that one of the them could've done it. And Sweetie Belle has the most evidence against her." He said.

"Can we gather any more evidence?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"No." Gohan said, shutting off the computer.

"Then let's go!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"It's still 5:58 AM! I know that people don't come until about 6:30 or 7:00." Gohan said.

"Oh. Then... What are we supposed to do until then?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"I don't know." Gohan said.

***

7:00 AM
Cafeteria

The Mane 5 were sitting down at a table, eating the school breakfast.

They were all mad and sad.

Rainbow Dash slammed her tray down on the table. She was that mad.

"Even Gohan is with her. I bet they're posting new photos now!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I-I don't think Gohan would ever do that!... Maybe we were wrong about Sunset Shimmer..." Fluttershy said.

"No we weren't. You saw what she did!" Applejack said.

"But if someone like Gohan's trying to defend her so much... T-Then I don't know who's side to be on." Fluttershy said.

"You broke down into tears because of her!" Pinkie Pie said.

This kept going on,

The human Crusaders overheard this.

"Uh, girls? I think we went too far with this Anon-A-Miss thing." Applebloom said.

"The whole school's fighting again." Scootaloo said.

"I feel awful. Maybe we should tell." Sweetie Belle said.

"Are you crazy? We'll be in so much trouble!" Scootaloo said.

"But we might get caught anyway. That kid's helping Sunset. I wish I never got jealous..." Applebloom said.

"Me neither." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said.

Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were in the cafeteria, approaching the five.

"What do you want." Rainbow Dash said.

"I want to prove Sunset's innocence." Gohan said.

"What, by telling us you read her mind? How do we know you're not lying?" Rarity asked.

"I won't be using that as my defense, Rarity. In fact, I think this may come as a shocker to you." Gohan said.

"H-How?" Rarity asked.

"I looked at every single photo and post that Anon-A-Miss posted. From them, I eliminated every single person who was humiliated. The last few people remaining were Sunset Shimmer, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." Gohan said.

"A-Are you accusing my sister!?" Applejack yelled.

"Hold on. I'm not done. I suspect that one of the three are Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said.

"Girls... Should we tell the truth?" Applebloom asked.

"I... I don't know." Scootaloo said.

"Applejack, you said your family were the only ones who knew about the pig story, correct?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah? And I also told Sunset, and you guys." Applejack said.

"Does Applebloom seem a little distant to you?" Gohan asked.

"I guess she gets a little more angry than usual... That doesn't prove anything!" Applejack said.

"She's one of the few people that knew, Applejack. Now, Rarity, you had a slumber party the day I left, right?" Gohan asked.

"Yes." Rarity said.

"Did you put Sweetie Belle to bed early, against her wishes?" Gohan asked.

"I-I had..." Rarity said.

"And who else was there to post these pictures Sunset Shimmer had that night?" Gohan asked, showing the few photos he printed.

"M-My family... That's a very well constructed story, but it's still false!" Rarity said.

"How? Sweetie Belle had a good motive to be Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said.

"W-Well... I guess we cannot rule her out..." Rarity said.

"And Rainbow Dash, look at this photo." Gohan said, showing the photo of her failed research paper.

"What about it?" She asked.

"Where is the location this photo was taken?" Gohan asked.

"Well... I can see my bag was opened... The bench and- Scootaloo! She's the only one I let into my bag that day!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Was the Junior Soccer Team there that day?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Yeah... They were!" Rainbow Dash said.

"We have three more suspects. Do you still think Sunset Shimmer's the one responsible?" Gohan asked.

"Well..." Pinkie Pie said.

"Do you really think Sunset Shimmer would do this sort of thing?" Gohan asked.

"I think of you as family, girls. I really do. You know me better than anyone. Do you really think the Sunset you know, the REAL Sunset, the one I am now, would do this? Gohan would punch my head off!" Sunset Shimmer said.

"T-Then if you're not Anon-A-Miss... Then who is?" Fluttershy asked

"Stop." Applebloom said.

Everyone looked to the Crusaders.

"He's right. It's us." Scootaloo said.

Everyone gasped.

"Applebloom! How could you!?" Applejack said.

"We didn't mean for it to go this far! Honest!" Applebloom said.

"But why did you do it...?" Gohan asked.

"Because... Because of you and her!" Applebloom said.

"Huh?" Gohan and Sunset Shimmer asked.

"I was jealous my sister was spending time with her friends instead of her family. I wanted to make you look bad. So I made up Anon-A-Miss and posted the story about Applejack and made it seem like you'd done it." Applebloom said.

"Applebloom told me about it... And I felt the same way. So, at Rarity's, while you were asleep, I snuck in, took her phone and downloaded the photos." Sweetie Belle said.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle began to cry.

"Anon-A-Miss got way out of hand. People started sending her other secrets, new pictures, and we posted everything." Scootaloo said.

"We're so sorry! We had no idea this could happen to you!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, tackle hugging Sunset Shimmer.

"I-It's okay girls! I forgive you! Believe me, I know what it's like to me alone." Sunset Shimmer said, breaking the hug.

"You and me both." Gohan said.

"Please forgive us big sister! We're really sorry!" Applebloom said with tears in her eyes.

Applejack sighed. "You girls... Course I'd forgive you, you're family." She said, hugging her sister.

Gohan was very touched. This just reminded him of the Cell Games so much.

He couldn't help but actually cry with joy.

"Why are you cryin'?" Applebloom asked.

"Yeah... I'm actually surprised." Rainbow Dash said.

"I-I'm just so happy... You were forgiven..." Gohan sobbed, smiling and wiping his tears.

"W- Oh. I see." Applejack said.

"What?" Applebloom asked.

"I guess you had to be there for it." Applejack said.

Sunset Shimmer put a hand on the sobbing Gohan.

"Thanks." She said.

Gohan gave her a thumbs up.

Then went back to crying like a baby.

"Oh Gohan, please calm down..." Fluttershy said.

"But I'm just so happy!" Gohan sobbed.

And Gohan began to glow yellow, indicating his job was done.

***

Son Gohan: Ace Attorney. That should be the name of that.

When the tryouts for the Friendship Games started, Gohan was instantly accepted.

You know, because he can shoot blasts out of his palms and feet and ass?

The last one was possibly a joke.

He replaced nobody.

And now he was participating.

But not before this.

***

Despite it being almost two years in Equestria, it had been seven on Earth.

The inhabitants of Earth were dying.

Someone was killing everyone.

Earth's greatest warriors, Vegeta, Piccolo, Child Trunks and Goten stood no chance against this threat.

Nobody knew what it was!

Only about 40 people remained on the planet.

Who could it be? I may never tell you...
