Sunset walked dawn the dark halls of Canterlot High, her footsteps echoing around her with every step she took as she finally reached the gymnasium. The inside of the gymnasium was dark which added to her increasing discomfort, she considered going back home and text her friends that she couldn't make it, but as she turned around a voice called out her name.
"Leaving so soon Sunset?"
Sunset's eyes widened as she recognized the voice and immediately turned around just as all the lights in the gymnasium turned on, blinding her temporarily before her vision became focused and she saw Gilda standing in front of her with her hands in her pocket. Next to her is Dumbbell, a former member of the wrestling team that was kicked out due to his bad grades, her gaze then turned to the bleachers where she spotted people she recognized from CHS, They all looked at her expectantly, Sunset also spotted students standing guard by the exits, panic began to set in as she realized that she was set up.
"I'm surprised you showed up." Gilda spoke, her voice was calm. "I figured since the meeting place is kind of shady, you'd at least suspect something was up."
"Where's Rainbow Dash?" Sunset demanded as she glared at Gilda.
Gilda pulled her hands out of her pockets and revealed a bright red phone in her right hand, she pressed several buttons on the screen, a few minutes later Sunset received a text notification and checked to see it was from Rainbow Dash, the message reading "Does this answer your question? "How did you get her phone?"
"I was actually looking for you when I spotted Dash, she seemed pretty pissed about Anon A Miss's newest post so when I asked about you she told me she didn't know where you are. But she happily lent me her phone to arrange a meeting." Gilda explained as she pocketed Rainbow Dash's phone. " Seriously though Sunset, the school is a mess and everyone is calling out for your head."
Gilda along with all the students in attendance smiled as well, a pit formed in Sunset's stomach at what Gilda was implying.
"Everyone bu-"
Suddenly one of the exit doors burst open to reveal Snips and Snail, both young boys looked out of breath.
"Sorry we're late but we brought him like you asked." Snips apologized.
"Took us a while to find him eh." Snails told them.
Sunset paid no attention to her two former lackeys instead her focus was on the third boy that, her ex boyfriend Flash Sentry.
"Flash, You're in on this too?" Sunset asked In a stunned voice.
"If by this you mean your side then yes." Flash said with a smile.
"Wh-what?" Sunset blinked in confusion.
"As I was saying." Gilda spoke, gaining everyone's attention. "Everyone at school is after your head, everyone but us."
"As if you would be Anon A miss." Dumbbell spoke. "My grades were a mess, people called me dumb and said I wouldn't be good at anything other than sports, but despite that you still agreed to tutor me. You didn't make fun of me for not understanding the math problems, you were patient with me as I struggled with my class subjects, encouraging me to not give up." He smiled widely.
"Because of you my grades have been getting better and now I'm back on the wrestling team!"
"You helped me when I was feeling down!" a male student shouted.
"You volunteered to walk my little brother home from school when I couldn't do it!" A female student said.
The Gymnasium was soon filled with the shouts of the students, each one saying how Sunset helped them. Sunset was in shock, she couldn't believe that there was anyone other than the Principal and vice-Principal and Twilight who still believed in her.
"We all know what the old Sunset was Like." Gilda said, gaining Sunset's attention. "The old Sunset would never leave behind any evidence that would link her to her wrongdoings. and besides if you did seek revenge against your friends, you would do it in a much crueler way."
The students in the Gymnasium gathered around Sunset, each one smiling kindly at her, Sunset was touched.
"So don't worry about those other idiots that believe that believe Anon A Miss is you, We've got your back!" Gilda declared which caused everyone to cheer.
Tears welled up in Sunset's eyes, with everyone's support there's nothing stopping her from exposing Anon A Miss now.
