Principal Celestia looks around the auditorium as her students converse with each other, their hostilities towards one another temporarily forgotten due to resent events. Celestia sighs as she’s a little happy for this temporary peace, A little while ago Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were transported here by Sunset and Twilight confronted the girls about what’s been happening. The looks of shock on their faces as Twilight revealed that this was all a trick to expose Anon-A-Miss soon gave way to sadness and regret as Twilight confirms what Sunset told them about how betraying their elements severed their connection to the magic of friendship and that Sunset was innocent of the crimes she has been accused of. She then made her way out of the auditorium with the two girls in tow to find Sunset.

“It would seem that everything is going exactly as Sunset had planned.”

Celestia turned to see Vice-Principal Luna approach her. “It would appear so.”

“Is something the matter sister?” Luna asks, although she had a pretty good idea what is troubling her sister.

“I’m just frustrated,” Celestia tells her as she goes back to looking at her students.

“Indeed, this whole Anon-A-Miss fiasco has caused quite the headache,” Luna agreed, remembering the complaints from students and demanding action be taking against Sunset Shimmer who they believe is responsible for the account, she even received several transfer forms from students wanting to escape the humiliation they are suffering due to their embarrassing secrets being exposed.

Suddenly one of the entrants to the auditorium opens to reveal Sunset Shimmer and to Celestia’s relief she is back to normal, Sunset walks inside, followed by princess Twilight, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Rainbooms and the group of students that were supposedly killed by Sunset. Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna rushed to meet them.

“Sunset, are you alright?” Principal Celestia asks with worry as she places her hands on Sunset’s shoulders.

“I’m alright, there was no chance of anyone getting physically hurt,” Sunset explains.

“I’m relieved to hear that, because you owe me an explanation as to why you became a demon?” Celestia narrows her eyes at Sunset.

“Yeah, I guess I kinda do,” Sunset scratches the back of her head sheepishly,” But first we have to deal with Anon-A-Miss,”

The two Principals look behind Sunset at the three young girls, who couldn’t bare to look at them, they also cast a glance at the Rainbooms who all had looks of shame. Principal Celestia gestured them to follow her up on to the stage. However Vice-Principal Luna directed the Rainbooms and Gilda’s group to take a seat with the rest of the student body, Applejack and Rarity cast a glace at their sisters before complying, Gilda and her friends just smiled at Sunset as they made their way to the remaining empty seats.

Vice-Principal Luna grabs some chairs from backstage to give themselves a place to sit, Principal Celestia walked up to the front of the stage with a microphone in hand.

“May I have your attention please,” Principal Celestia calls to attention everyone in the auditorium,”I’m sure all of you are wondering why you are all suddenly here and whether what you experienced before arriving was real. Let me first tell you that it was real to a certain extent,”

The students are confused at what she said, so Principal Celestia elaborated.

“Everything that has occurred was part of Sunset Shimmer’s plan to expose Anon-A-Miss and before any of you ask, Sunset Shimmer is not Anon-A-Miss.” Celestia was quick to inform everyone of that information.

“How can you be so sure?” a student asks, “She did something like this before!”

The crowed of students voices their agreement but Celestia cuts through them, “You are correct, Sunset has done something similar to this in the past, but let me ask you, has anyone actually figured out that Sunset was responsible?”

The crowed of students became silent as they pondered the question, honestly they never figured out it was Sunset until after she confessed to them following the fall formal. The Rainbooms thought back to how they were broken up, it was just a few texts that they thought were sent by one of them. It wasn’t until Princess Twilight’s arrival that they started questioning the authenticity of the texts, Rainbow Dash slumped in her seat as she realized that once again she couldn’t see the obvious. Once again her anger at feeling betrayed got the better of her and her stubbornness stopped her from seeking the truth.

Suddenly Principal Celestia’s assistant Raven entered the stage pushing a projector, as a projector screen began to lower from behind Luna, Twilight, Sunset and the Crusaders. Raven opens a laptop that is on top of the projector, the projector soon comes alive as it displays the Anon-A-Miss page on the screen.

“As you can plainly see, this account makes it very obvious that it is Miss Shimmer, why would Sunset create an account to post everyone’s secrets and at the same time paint a target on herself?” Principal Celestia pointed out at the same time challenges anyone to say otherwise.

“Because that’s what she does!” A female student shouted as she rose from her seat, “She always makes herself to be innocent while she blackmails us into doing what she wants, she hasn’t changed at all!”

Once again the crowed of students voice their agreement, this was just another tactic of Sunset to get away with her wrong doings but it won’t work this time. Vice-Principal Luna and Twilight frowned at hearing the students, they were so dead-set on Sunset being Anon-A-Miss.

“I agree with you that Sunset did blackmail students to get what she wants,” Celestia agrees which causes the students to smile, “But that raises another point, what does Sunset have to gain from this?”

Celestia turns to the screen, “What possible use is there to blackmail you if she spills your secrets to the entire school, you said so yourself that Sunset used to blackmail you into doing what she wants. But that was done away from prying eyes,”

Celestia gestured for the Crusaders to come up, they took a shuttering breath before they rose from their seats in unison and walk towards their Principal.

“These three young ladies will explain to you further why Sunset is not who you accuse her to be,” Principal Celestia hands them the mic which Applebloom takes.

Applebloom stares out at the audience, the students are looking at her in confusion, wondering what she was going to say. Applebloom spots her big sister, their eyes lock before Applejack turns her head away, her eyes closed tight. Applebloom felt like crying but she fought it as she needed to clean up the mess she had started.

“Hello everyone,” Applebloom greeted, “ Um..Principal Celestia is right, Sunset had nothing to do with the Anon-A-Miss profile,”

“And what makes you so sure that it wasn’t her?” A male student asks.

“Yeah, tell us why it isn’t Sunset!” another student shouts.

Applebloom felt her heart hammer against her, her palms became sweaty. It was now or never. “Because I’m Anon-A-Miss!”

There was silence in the auditorium but that didn’t last long as everyone started laughing, Applebloom and her friends were confused by this.

“W-why are yall laughing? I’m being serious!” Applebloom raises her voice to be heard through the laughter.

“Stop kidding around kid,” A student manages to say, “This isn’t something to joke about,”

“Unless Sunset put you up to it,” Another student suggested, causing Gilda and her group to frown.

Twilight and Luna cast a glance at Sunset to see the young woman’s hair obscuring her eyes, making it difficult to tell what she was feeling.

“She’s telling the truth!” Sweetie Belle shouted at the crowed.

But still the students refuse to believe her, Applebloom started becoming frustrated, she looked towards Raven as she made her way towards her.

“May I use this?” Applebloom asks.

Raven looks towards Celestia who nodded, Raven picks up the laptop and brings it down to Applebloom’s level. The whole student body watches Applebloom log into the account and make a new post, their cellphones alert tone echoed in the auditorium, signaling a new post by Anon-A-Miss. They all checked their phones and then looked at the projector screen, they both had the same post.

Do you believe me now? That I, Applebloom am Anon-A-Miss.

There was a deathly silence, that you can practically hear a pin drop, but then their confused, shocked and disbelief looks quickly turns to hatred as they glare venomously at them.

“You fucking bitch!” A student screamed, her face full of fury, “It was you all along?!’

“It wasn’t just her!” Sweetie Belle spoke up.

“We are also Anon-A-Miss!” Scootaloo added.

The Crusaders watched the crowed of angry students started getting more restless, looks of hatred,

“Do you three have any idea what you made me go through?!” A male student shouts.

“The humiliation we endured!” another students shouts.

“After we get through with you, all three of you will wish you had never been born!” yet another student shouts followed by the agreements of his fellow classmates.

“Now wait just a darn minute!” Appplejack stands from her seat and faces the crowed. “I know my sister and her friends caused a lot of trouble with Anon-A-Miss, but rest assured that they will be punished for it.”

“Most certainly,” Rarity also rose from her seat to stand beside Applejack, “There is no need for a witch hunt,”

“But weren’t your secrets exposed too?” A student asks.

“Yes, yes they were. But that’s still no excuse to tar and feather em,” Applejack says.

“There will be no such thing,” Principal Celestia addresses her students, “The only ones handling out punishments will be Vice-Principal Luna, myself and the girls families,”

“That’s not good enough!” A female students yells, “Because of those three bitches it got out that I was in rehab for a drug problem and not only was I made fun of, people kept their distance from me, called me names behind my back and sometimes to my face. They even made bets as to when I would overdose even though I’ve been clean for months!”

“My reputation was ruined, the pain I had to go through because of them...I even thought about just ending it,” tears welled up in her eyes, her voice cracking as she continued to speak, “Which is why I’m going to sue you!”

Applejack, Rarity and the Crusaders eyes widen in shock, fear settling into the pits of their stomachs.

“Lets be reasonably here, there’s no need for you to press charges,” Rarity says, she feared something like this would come up.

“I give you my word that these three will be punished,” Applejack promises the girl, a lawsuit was the last thing her family needed to deal with.

“Sorry Applejack, but your word isn’t worth as much as it use to be.” She spoke, “I believe Sunset can attest to that.”

Applejack opened her mouth to say something but no words came out, Sunset’s words from earlier came to mind.

Remember those words Applejack, you’ll soon regret them.

“I doubt I’ll be the only one pressing charges, there are plenty of people her that want to take those three to court for everything they own,” the young woman added.

“But it wasn’t all our fault,” Applebloom shouted, her voice tinged with fear at the thought of loosing everything.

“Yeah, your secret along with some others were actually sent in by other students! Sweetie Belle added, “We even have proof!”

“We have the names of everyone who sent us secrets to post, some of them we haven’t posted because of how serious the secret is!” Scootaloo says.

“Show me,” Principal Celestia walks up to the Crusaders as Scootaloo took out her phone.

“We made copies of the secrets that were sent to us along with who sent them, what we posted and haven’t posted yet,” Scootaloo explains as she hand her phone over to the Principal.

Principal Celestia scrolls through the list of names, a great number of students had sent in secrets. She takes back the mic from Applebloom and turns to face the crowd of students.

“It appears that these three aren’t the only ones that will be facing punishment,” Principal Celestia spoke, a hint of anger in her voice, “I will be calling each name on this list into my office where you will explain to me your reasons for sending this as I administer your punishment,”

There were several students who gulped at hearing this and sent death glares at the Crusaders, they were going to get them back for this.

Twilight Sparkle stood up from her chair and walks up to Principal Celestia, “Is it alright if I speak to the students, Principal Celestia?”

“Of course Twilight, I figure you would want to,” The principal hands her microphone over to Twilight as she steps up to face the school.

“Hello everyone, I want to say how good it is to see all of you again, but given what’s happening you should understand why I can’t,” Twilight took in a deep breath before exhaling and glared at the crowd,

“I want to say how disappointed I am in most of you, I say most because there are a few people who saw through this deception and believed Sunset wasn’t Anon-A-Miss,” Twilight shifted her focus to the Rainbooms who wore looks of shame, “I can’t believe after everything Sunset’s done to prove how sorry she was and even save all of you from the sirens that you still believe she hasn’t changed!”

“Even more appalling is that those of you who sent in secrets knew Sunset is innocent, but still decided to blame her, you are nothing but cowards,” Twilight was trembling in anger, she had never felt this angry in all her life, not since when she was younger and a particular snobbish noble dared to mess with Spike.

Some of the students actually felt ashamed at what they did, others are ashamed for not doing anything to help Sunset. But there are some who still held a grudge against Sunset and were glad to see her suffer, those same students had their secrets posted and posted some themselves to keep the hate against Sunset burning. One of those students is glaring venomously at the crusaders.

“Um Princess Twilight?”

Twilight looked to see Lyra raise her hand, “Yes?”

“I get that they made Anon-A-Miss to frame Sunset, but why?” Lyra asks.

Twilight looks at the Crusaders and hands Applebloom the mic.

“Well…... the reason we did it was because..we were jealous of how much time Sunset spent with our sisters,” Applebloom admitted shamefully, her motive for doing it sounded so pathetic now that she said it out lout.

“We also did it because we thought that Sunset got off easy for what she did to everyone, including our sisters,” Sweetie Belle added.

“We realized to late that what we were doing was hurting others, not just Sunset,” Scootaloo says.

“We’re so sorry everyone, you have every right to be angry at us and I doubt any of you will ever forgive us for what we did,” Applebloom apologizes.

“Not like we deserve it anyway,” Scootaloo adds as all three lower their heads in shame.

With every word they spoke, one student becomes more and more angry. These girls wanted to see Sunset punished like him, but now he along with anyone who sent in secrets are getting punished all because they chickened out. Without warning he suddenly got up from his seat and bolted towards the stage. The Crusaders heard gasping and they raised their heads in time to see a furious looking student leap on to the stage and close in on them, the Crusaders huddle together, bracing themselves for the attack. But it never came. Applebloom opens her eyes slightly before fully opening them upon seeing what has happened, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo soon follow and they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The student was frozen mid punch, his body surrounded by a red magical aura.

“Sunset,” Twilight whispers causing the Crusaders to turn around.

Sunset Shimmer is standing up, her hair extended into a pony tail and pony ears sticking out on top of her head, her hand that is covered in a red magical aura is extended towards the young man.

“Let go of me you demon!” the male student shouts at Sunset as he struggles against her magic.

“A demon you say?” Sunset spoke as she slowly approaches him, “Then a demon you’ll get,”

Suddenly bat-like wings emerge from Sunset’s back, the whites of her eyes turn black, and her body is consumed in fire before dissipating and revealing her demon form once again. The students scream in terror as Sunset lifts the young man into the air, Twilight watches Sunset in stunned silence, her mind trying to comprehend why Sunset would transform into that now?

“Listen up CHS!” Sunset’s booming voice echoes around the auditorium, “I’m only going to say this once,”

Sunset appears behind the Crusaders and wraps her arms around them and lifts them off the ground.

“These precious little babus are to be left alone to suffer their punishment,” Sunset cooed as she hugged the Crusaders tightly against her.

Just then her transformation faded and she was back to normal, but she still held on to the Crusaders and the student that tried to attack the Crusaders is still suspended in mid air. He was then pulled towards Sunset, only stopping when he is close to her face.

“Do I make myself clear?” Sunset whispers threateningly, she glares into his eyes, her gaze full of hate.

The young man is stricken with fear as he breaks out into a cold sweat, he nods vigorously which causes Sunset to smile as she levitates him back to his seat. She gestures for Applebloom to hand over the mic and she does.

“To make sure they go through with their punishment, I will be keeping an eye on them,” Sunset told every, surprising the students, especially the Rainbooms, “Lets get one thing clear, I’m not doing this for any of you. I’ve tried to make amends for what I did and just when I thought I did, it all came crashing down as soon as there was a hint of trouble and all fingers are pointed at me!”

“I’m through owing you all anything, despite everything I’ve done to make up for my past mistakes, you still saw me as the monster I’ve always been and if that’s all you’ll see me as then so be it,” Sunset’s body is surrounded by a red aura before it quickly disappears.

The Principals along with Gilda and her group are confused at what Sunset had done, they were even more confuse when they noticed the frightened expressions of the students and the worried looks on the Rainbooms faces. Twilight was the only one who knew what Sunset had done, she had just cast a spell but she didn’t know what kind.

Sunset turns around and begins walking towards Principal Celestia, “Principal Celestia, I’ve said what I needed to say. If you’ll excuse me, I need to have a chat with the Rainbooms,”

“Of course,” Principal Celestia responded as she watches Sunset walk down the small stairs, Twilight following close behind.

Sunset walks towards the row of seats that contains the Rainbooms, the students pushing back against their seats in fear when she pass by them, When she reaches their row she wordlessly gestures them to follow her, they comply by rising from their seats.

“Sunset!”

Sunset turns toward the direction of the voice and sees Gilda heading towards her, “What is it?”

“Are you going to be okay?” Gilda asks after reaching Sunset, a look of concern on her face.

Sunset smiles a sad smile, “Honestly, I don’t think I will,” She turns around and begins walking away.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there for her,” Twilight assures Gilda as she follows Sunset.

As the Rainbooms walk past Gilda, she stops two of them, “Wait a second..um Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie is it?”

The two girls in question nod as the rest of their group stop to see what is going on.

“Listen, I’m sorry for how I acted when we first meet. I was a real bitch to the both of you, especially you Pinkie. You were only trying to make me feel welcomed,” Gilda apologized to the two pink haired girls.

The Rainbooms were shocked, caught completely off guard by the apology while Sunset and Twilight just smiled. Pinkie and Fluttershy look to one another before looking back at Gilda.

“It’s okay, um thank you for apologizing,”FLuttershy responded softly.

“Yeah,” Was all Pinkie could say right now.

The girls turn around and follow the rest of their friends out of the Auditorium, Gilda watches them leave with unease, what Sunset said had her worried as to what twill be said between them. The Crusaders also watch Sunset and Twilight leave with he Rainbooms, they fear the outcome of their conversation.

“We really did it this time,” Sweetie Belle says sadly.

“No kidding,” Applebloom agrees.

“Because of us, not only is their friendship ruined, but Sunset is now stuck being a demon willingly,” Scootallo says after seeing Sunset transform back into a demon again and walking off with the Rainbooms.

The walk towards the music room is a quiet one, the only sound made is their footsteps, The Rainbooms become increasingly nervous as they approach the music room. Sunset stops in front of the door and opens it before gesturing the Rainbooms in first. The girls enter the room followed by Twilight and lastly Sunset who closes the door behind her. The room is silent as the girls just stood staring at one another, neither one willing to make the first move.

“Well we aint getting nowhere by being quiet,” Applejack broke the silence, “Sunset I’m so sorry for-”

“Save it,” Sunset cuts off Applejack, “I don’t want to hear your half-hearted apologies, I just want to hear the truth from all of you,”

“The truth?” Applejack asks confused.

“I want all of you to honestly tell me how you really felt about me and don’t you dare sugarcoat it either!” Sunset demanded as she glared at them.

Applejack withered under Sunset’s gaze but managed to recover and look Sunset square in the eyes, “well the truth is I….I….I hated you Sunset!”

The girls gasped at Applejack’s confession.

“Applejack!” Twilight raised her voice angrily, ready to reprimand the girl when Sunset stops her.

“Let her finish Twilight,” Sunset tells her fellow equestrian before motioning for Applejack to continue.

“You ruined my bake sale, tricked me into cutting off contact with my friends for something they never did, you manipulated us all like puppets and stab us in the back,” Tears welled up in Applejack’s eyes with each word she spoke, “I wished every day for someone to finally put you in your place and I was happy to see you groveling on your knees at the fall formal!”

“But then after the fall formal I started to get to know yah, You volunteered to help me with my chores, you volunteered to help Applebloom and her friends deliver their cookie for the scouts, heck you even helped me with my homework. Little by little I started to see how honest and hardworking you are, pretty soon I began to see you as a friend and then as family.” Applejack says as tears spill from her eyes, “But I never forgot the things you did, I even had Rarity check my homework to make sure you weren’t misleading me again. In the back of my head I thought that you were just pretending to be my friend to get me to lower my guard so you can hurt me and mah friends. But that thought got smaller and smaller with every moment our friendship grew and the sleepovers sealed the deal that you are without a doubt someone I can call family….But then Anon-A-Miss happened, the doubts returned with a vengeance and I was all to happy cut you out of our lives before you hurt us again.”

Sunset watched Applejack sob, unable to continue anymore, Rarity took this opportunity to go next.

“The night of the spring fling was suppose to be my debut to all of CHS, they would all marvel at my beauty and sense of style, everyone would remember the name Rarity,” Rarity pauses briefly as she remembers that night, “But instead of being the best night of my life, you made it my absolute worst, My dress came apart as I walked on to the stage, you replaced my blush with itching powder and I scratched myself in the most unladylike way in front of the entire school, my special one of a kind beetle hair clip turned out to be an actual beetle and I tried desperately to get it out of my hair, ruining it in the process. I looked like a complete mess completely humiliated with everyone laughing at me and you ended up wining the spring fling,”

“I cried myself to sleep the first few nights after that, things were only made worse when you separated us and I didn’t have the support of all my friends,” Rarity’s mascara began to run down the sides of her face as she started crying, “When Twilight came to our school and I noticed that you were doing to her what you did to me, I vowed to do everything in my power to prevent her from suffering the same humiliation I did, and I admit that seeing you look so defeated and humiliated made me feel happy,”

“When you volunteered to be a model for my latest fashion line, I jumped at the chance. I’ve always had several outfit designs in mind whenever I look at you and your impressive figure and was excited at the prospect of you working for me,” Rarity took out a handkerchief and blew her nose on it before putting it away.

“I always see the beauty in everything and the more time we spent together the more of your beauty began to shine through, how you would generously offer your time to help me complete an order or even watch Sweetie Belle when ever I had a last minute invite to a fashion gala when none of the girls were available,” Rarity smiled slightly but it quickly vanished as she continued, “But then the trouble with Anon-A-Miss began and once again I was humiliated only this time my friends were humiliated right along with me, I felt so stupid when I thought it was all your doing and that you showed your true ugly colors again, so I struck first before you had the chance and we-I Left you humiliated in the hallway,”

“It turns out that I was the ugly one all along for crushing such a beautiful flower,” Rarity managed to say between sobs.

Pinkie Pie stepped up next to her a placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, she gave her a small smile before looking at Sunset.

“I was fully committed to welcoming you as our newest friend and when threw you a welcome party, I was very happy to see you smiling since you’ve been really sad after the formal,” Pinkie Pie began as she wiped away a stray tear, “You worked really hard to prove how much you’ve changed and I wanted to make sure that you always had a smile on your face, but then I ended up taking your smile away and making you cry.”

Tears spilled from Pinkie’s eyes, “I was so mad that you were lying to us this whole time and that you were planing to steal our secrets, that I didn’t care about your happiness anymore and instead I wanted you to feel as miserable as you made us!”

Pinkie begins to break down after that, Fluttershy quickly comes to her side and wraps her arms around her in a comforting hug. Fluttershy looks at Sunset, tears spill from her eyes, her lips quivering before she spoke.

“I hated you Sunset, I hated you so much! You were always picking on me because I was too shy to fight back and I was glad to see you finally brought down to earth and experiencing the pain and fear you made me and everyone else go through!” Fluttershy bared her soul, a waterfall of tears spilling from her eyes, “and when I thought you were being mean again, I didn’t want to stand by and watch as you make my friends suffer! BUT I WAS WRONG!!!”

“I began to feel terrible for making you suffer, even if you betrayed us I should never have yelled at you. I began to have doubts as to whether you were actually innocent, but I was too mush of a coward to act against the others wishes to avoid you that you continued to suffer,,,all alone,” Fluttershy continued to sob, “I’m so sorry Sunset,”

Rainbow was the only one left, she marched up to Sunset, grabbed her by the collar of her jacket and pulled her so close that their noses are almost touching, Sunset stared unwavering into Rainbow’s hate filled, teary eyes.

“I fucking hated you Sunset,” Rainbow spat with so much venom that the girls feared she would hit Sunset, “You fucked with my friends, made us turn against each other, we were nothing but playthings to you! I wanted to knock that shit eating grin off your face, but then you would just use it against me.”

“It felt so good to watch you cry in that whole we put you in, begging for mercy!” Tears spilled from Rainbow’s eyes as her fist started trembling, “When Twilight told us to teach you about friendship, I had my doubts, but then I thought if you ever stepped out of line I would personally put you back in place,”

“But then I started to see how committed you are for making up for the shit you did, even when I made you do ridiculous things when I told you it was important for friendship and you knew that it wasn’t and that I was trying to get back at you, you still did them anyway!” Rainbow shuts her eyes tight.

“I slowly started to warm up to you after I see you endure shit from everyone at CHS but still carry on, you wouldn’t give up on making things right with them. Soon I began to see you as a friend, then you became someone who I can proudly call my best friend.”

“But Anon-A-Miss…...I was so pissed that you were faking our friendship this whole time, that you were fucking with me again!” Rainbow Dash lowers her head, she lets out a few sobs before continuing, “And then the picture with me and Gilda got posted, I was so angry at that moment that I wanted to find you and beat the shit out of you. Then Gilda came along and I thought that she would take care of you for me, to teach you a lessson,”

“But when I saw the pictures, suddenly I didn’t feel angry anymore, I was horrified at what they did to you. Then you show up as a demon and show us what they did to you, I felt sickened just watching you get beaten so bad, and watching you scream out my name as you turned into a demon and slaughtered everyone, it hit me hard that it was my fault that this all happened “

Rainbow Dash leaned her head forward to rest against Sunset’s chest, her body trembling, “It was all my fault,” she whispers as her legs give out and her forehead slides down Sunset’s chest, “I’m so sorry,”

Sobs rocked Rainbow’s body as she continues to mutter apology after apology, Sunset didn’t move, her face blank of any emotion.

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy helped the distraught Rainbow get to her feet, Twilight watches her canterlot friends breakdown with sadness, tears threatened to spill from her eyes with each painful confessions. She cast a glance at Sunset and wondered how she must be feeling?

Sunset looks at her former friends with an air f indifference, “One last thing,”

The others look at Sunset as she spoke, “If Twilight hadn’t asked you, would any of you had reached out to me?”

“I would,” Pinkie answers softly, but Sunset heard her.

The other girls hesitated before answering in unison.

“No,”

Sunset closes her eyes and lets out a tired sigh, “At least your finally being honest with me,”

She turns to face Twilight, “Thank you for your help Twilight, but today’s events have left me feeling tired, so if you don’t mind I think I’ll head home,”

Twilight looked into Sunset’s eyes and sees a hint of sadness that Sunset is trying to hide, “okay,” she then takes Sunset’s hands in her own, “but if you need anything, be sure to let me know immediately,”

Sunset’s sees the determined look in Twilight’s eyes which causes her to smile, “You bet,”

Sunset opens the door to the music room and walks out, as soon as the door closes, Twilight turns to face the girls, a frown replacing the smile she had shown Sunset.

“Now, about that serious talk..”

Sunset walks outside the school after retrieving her coat, snow was starting to fall as she made her way to the buss stop and took it to her apartment. When the bus dropped her off she went towards the front door, unlocked it and entered the building, she took the elevator to the fifth floor, exited and made her way to her apartment door. She fishes her key out of her pocket and unlocks the door, she is greeted by her dark apartment. She closes the door behind her, sets the lock and heads towards her room, she collapses on top of her bed and lays there face downfor a few moments. She finally turns her head towards the nightstand where a framed picture of her and her friends rested, tears filled her eyes,\ before running down the sides of her face. She turns to rest on her back as her face twists in agony, she covers her eyes with her hands and lets out an agonizing scream of pain, the days events finally taking their toll on her as she sobs uncontrollably.

Author's Notes:

I hoped you like the emotional confessions of the girls as well as their reasons for doing what they did.
