As you, the girls, and all of the students and staff make it to the gymnasium, you and all the students took a seat on the bleachers while the staff stood near the doorway. You sat in between Sunset and Twilight, which is where you usually sit whenever there is an assembly.

"I'm very excited for this assembly!" Twilight said while clenching her fists in excitement.

"Why?" You asked her.

"It's gonna be about the upcoming annual science fair at the end of the month, and I'm already thinking about which topic my project is going to be on." Twilight explained.

"Really? An assembly just for that?" You asked while sounding confused.

"I know it's nothing huge, but Principal Celestia is a huge fan of the science fairs. Which is why we're having this assembly." Twilight said while facing towards the stage as Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna walk to the stage. She then quickly looked back at you to ask you something. "Hey, Anon? If I base my project around you, will you please help me with it?"

"Uh, sure." You replied.

"Thank you." Twilight said as she then turned her attention back to the stage.

"Good morning, everyone." Principal Celestia said to the audience. "I hope you're all having a great morning."

"Yeah. Unlike me, where it was just annoying." Vice Principal Luna chuckled.

You figured that Vice Principal Luna was referring to Zephyr Breeze's constant parking in the faculty lot, which made you chuckle a bit knowing.

As Principal Celestia explained about the upcoming science fair while certainly showing her excitement for it a little too much, you and the rest of the audience listened to her. While you were listening to her, you darted your eyes over at Vice Principal Luna, and you then noticed that you and her were making eye contact. Upon noticing, your eyes went wide and you then started to sweat and an anxious feeling started to build up in your stomach. It was easy for you to look at Vice Principal Luna from a distance, but when she's actually looking at you or talking to you, your anxiety acts up due to your fear of her.

Upon seeing your anxious expression, Vice Principal Luna raised a curious eyebrow at you. She then looked over at somewhere else in the crowd, much to your relief. Sunset also noticed your anxiousness as turned her attention towards you.

"You okay?" Sunset asked you. "You seem anxious about something."

"Huh? Uh... yes! I'm just thinking about Zephyr Breeze." You replied with a lie. You always try to be honest to Sunset, but you were a little too embarrassed about your fear of Vice Principal Luna to be open about it.

"Don't worry about it." Sunset said while giving you a peck on the cheek. "Like what Rainbow Dash said, we'll always be there for you in case things go wrong. That is, if you really do want to deal with him."

"I hope so." You replied while staring down at the floor with a worried look.

"Hey, I think that's enough about that for today. Let's focus on more positive things." Sunset said while wrapping her arm around your shoulder with a friendly smile. "What kind of fish did you manage to catch yesterday down at the pond?"

"Oh, I didn't catch any fish. All I caught was junk." You replied.

"Junk?" Sunset asked while raising a curious eyebrow.

"Yep. And among that junk was a concertina, and a bath brush." You said as you showed her the bath brush that you were keeping inside your jacket. "The bath brush was the most strangest catch because it means that someone must have taken a bath in the pond."

Sunset then started snickering as you showed her the brush.

"Who would do something so strange like take a bath in a pond?" Sunset asked while giggling into her hand.

"I have no idea. But, whoever that person is, they must be a real weirdo." You chuckled.

As you and Sunset laughed about that weirdo, Principal Celestia, who was still in the middle of her speech about the science fair, looked at you and Sunset and then stopped her speech for a second.

"Excuse me? Anon Y. Mous?" Principal Celestia called out to you.

You and Sunset stopped laughing as you both heard her call out to you.

"She remembers my name?" You asked Sunset.

"After that crazy behavior of yours in her office on your first day here, how could she not?" Sunset giggled.

You blushed while rubbing the back of your head in embarrassment. You then stood up to respond to Principal Celestia.

"Yes, Principal Celestia?" You asked in response to her calling out to you.

"That thing you have in your hand, can you please hold it up so I can see it?" Principal Celestia asked while pointing at the bath brush in your hand.

"Sure." You replied as you held up the brush so that Principal Celestia could see it.

Principal Celestia leaned her head in a bit to get a better glimpse of the brush in your hand. She then reacts with surprise upon realizing what you're holding.

"Hey, I think that's my bath brush you're holding." Principal Celestia stated while pointing at the brush.

As you now knew who the brush belonged to, you reacted with a wide-eyed expression while looking at Principal Celestia. And the next thing you knew, everyone in the gymnasium was looking at you with confusion about what was going on.

"Wha- Th-this is yours?!" You stuttered in a shouty voice while being caught off guard. "This brush belongs to you?!"

"Yes, it does." Principal Celestia replied with a nod. "And based on your humorous surprise of that fact, you clearly found it instead of stolen it."

"Y-yes, I did." You replied while still having a wide-eyed expression.

"Good." Principal Celestia said as she then held out her hand. "Can I please have that back now?"

"Y-yeah, sure!" You stuttered awkwardly as you stood up from the bleachers to walk over to the stage.

As you walk down the bleachers, you could hear students on the bleachers whispering to the people next to them about you having Principal Celestia's bath brush with you. Some of them were even giggling while looking at you, which causes you to sweat and blush as you were hoping that no one would be getting any misconceptions about why you have her brush, especially her sister for obvious reasons that nobody but you knows.

As you approached the stage where Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were standing, you handed the brush to Principal Celestia.

"Thank you, Anon." Principal Celestia said with a smile.

"You're welcome, Principal..." You replied but were then caught off guard again by looking at Vice Principal Luna, who was giving you a rather suspicious look. Which caused you to start feeling very anxious as you were sweating and trembling. "C-C-Celestia."

Vice Principal Luna continued to give you a suspicious look.

"If I may ask, where did you find this thing?" Vice Principal Luna asked while pointing to the brush in her sister's hand.

"I-I U-uh, f-found it in the p-pond y-yesterday." You stuttered while trying to keep your eyes on Principal Celestia instead of Vice Principal Luna.

"Th-the pond?!" Principal Celestia exclaimed while blushing. She then started chuckling nervously while still having a bright blush on her face. "W-well, I don't know how it ended up in there. Perhaps a burglar broke into my house and stole my brush and then threw it in that pond as a little prank."

Vice Principal Luna crossed her arms and shook her head while giving her sister a disapproving look, which means that she knew the reason why that bath brush was in that pond. Principal Celestia noticed her sister's look.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Principal Celestia asked while still looking bashful.

"No reason." Vice Principal Luna replied while rolling her eyes. She then looked back at you and a look of concerned instantly appeared on her face.

Principal Celestia noticed her sister's concerned reaction, and she then also turned her attention back to you. They both noticed that you were not only trembling and sweating, but also rapidly breathing.

"Young man, are you alright?" Vice Principal Luna asked in a worried tone.

"D-don't w-worry. I-I'm fine." You stuttered as you tried to take deep breaths to calm yourself down.

"You don't look fine. You look like you're having an anxiety attack!" Principal Celestia said as she sounded just as worried as her sister.

Upon hearing this, both Sunset and Twilight stood up and looked at you as you were clearly having an obvious anxiety attack. Sunset looked at Twilight with a determined face and then nodded to her. Twilight in response nodded while also having a determined look. They both then bolted off of the bleachers to rush to your aid.

"Anon, please tell us what's wrong!" Principal Celestia begged while sounding even more worried.

"I-I c-can't." You stuttered while still rapidly breathing.

You then felt two hands resting on your shoulders. You looked to your sides to see that those hands belonged to Sunset and Twilight, much to your relief.

"It's okay. We can take it from here." Twilight said to the two principals.

"Thanks, girls." Principal Celestia replied with a proud smile.

Both Sunset and Twilight nodded with a smile and response. They both then leaned in to you to ask you what's wrong.

"Anon, what's wrong?" Sunset asked.

"I-I c-can't tell you." You stuttered in a whisper.

"Anon, you have to tell us. Remember what I told you? People can't help you if you don't tell them what's wrong." Sunset said to you.

"I-I know. I-I j-just can't say it." You stuttered again.

"Is it something personal? Is that why you can't tell us?" Twilight asked.

"Y-yes." You replied.

"We won't tell anyone if that's the case. You have to tell us what's wrong so we can help you." Sunset said to you.

As Sunset reminded you of this important fact, you still didn't feel like telling her and Twilight about your fear of Vice Principal Luna because of how embarrassing it is. But, Sunset is right about how you need to tell people whenever you have a problem. Still, you didn't want Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna or anyone else in the gymnasium overhearing you three, so that left you with only one way to tell Sunset and Twilight what your problem is: Sunset needed to use her powers on you.

You held out your wrist to Sunset while giving her a worried expression to tell her that you still don't want to say what your problem is.

Sunset looked at your wrist and then looked back at you. She read the look on your face and realized that what your problem is might be too embarrassing to say out loud. She then smiled and gave you a nod, which told you that she will use her powers on you instead of having you talk to let her know what your problem is.

Sunset placed her hand onto your wrist, which caused her eyes to glow as she was now seeing into your mind.

Inside your mind, what Sunset was seeing were memories of you whenever you've made interactions with Vice Principal Luna. In those memories, Sunset was able to feel the amount of fear you have towards Vice Principal Luna, and two of those memories were of course this morning in the faculty parking lot and just a few moments ago when you were handing Principal Celestia's bath brush back to her. What Sunset saw after seeing those memories were then thoughts that rush through your mind whenever you see Vice Principal Luna. And those thoughts were you worrying that she would catch you breaking school rules and giving you detentions, and the thought of you sitting in her cold and dark office as stares at you with that scary glare of hers. It may not seem like much to anyone else, but it felt like a nightmare to you. To you, and pretty much only you, Vice Principal Luna is a scary woman and you wanted to do everything you can to not get on her bad side, and you also didn't want to tell anyone about your fear of her because you're afraid of becoming the biggest laughing stock at CHS.

After seeing that last thought, Sunset removed her hand from your wrist and her powers were no longer inactive.

After Sunset read your mind, you looked at her with a worried look again as you had this feeling that she'd probably laugh at the fact that you're afraid of Vice Principal Luna. But much to your surprise, she wasn't laughing at all. In fact, she was still looking at you with a concerned look. She then placed her hand back onto your shoulder, and she then let out a sigh while continuing to look concerned.

"Well? Do you know what the problem is, Sunset?" Principal Celestia asked Sunset.

"Uh, y-yeah. I think so." Sunset replied. "I think Anon is just worried about how the students are going to respond to this incident."

"Is that true, Anon?" Principal Celestia asked you.

You immediately nod upon being asked that since you didn't want anyone to know the real reason.

Principal Celestia looked back at her sister while still being worried about you, and Vice Principal Luna still felt as worried too. Principal Celestia then looked back at you with a serious face.

"Don't worry, Anon. I'll take care of this." Principal Celestia said as she held the microphone up to her face to make a quick statement to the students.

"Okay, students. Listen up." Principal Celestia says in a serious tone. "Anyone who subjects Anon Y. Mous to any form of harassment or humiliation for having my bath brush, or spreads rumors about this incident inside or outside of school will receive three weeks of detention."

All of the students reacted with nervousness upon receiving this warning from Principal Celestia.

Vice Principal Luna looked back at you again, and you tried your best to not look at her to keep your anxiety down. She looked at you with a sympathetic look and she then turned back to the students to also make a statement.

"And for anyone who disobeys this warning will not only get detention for three weeks, but we will also have Mr. Cranky Doodle give you extra trigonometry homework and have all that time in detention be based around him giving you long trigonometry lectures." Vice Principal Luna stated in an even more serious tone than her sister's.

"Yeah! Woohoo!" Mr. Cranky Doodle cheered while clicking his heels.

All of the students looked at Mr. Cranky Doodle with even more nervous looks, to the point where sweat was pouring down their faces.

Principal Celestia looked at Vice Principal Celestia with a smirk.

"Woah. Someone's not playing around." Principal Celestia said.

Vice Principal Luna winked at Principal Celestia and giggled a bit.

As you, Sunset, and Twilight walk about to your seats on the bleachers, you were met with students waving to you with nervous toothy smiles as it appears that the principals' warning worked.

The three of you sat back down and then both Sunset and Twilight hugged you while you took deep breaths to calm yourself down. As you took deep breaths, your eyes then wandered back to the front of the stage, which caused you to make eye contact with Vice Principal Luna again. This of course continued to make your anxiety get worse and Sunset noticed.

"Stop looking at her!" Sunset whispered in a serious tone. "Keep your eyes down!"

You put your head down while Sunset and Twilight continued to hug you and you took more deep breaths.

Principal Celestia watched you three with a warm smile, as she was proud of Sunset and Twilight for giving someone like you the support that you need.

Vice Principal Luna noticed you once again getting anxious from looking at her, which caused her to look down at the floor with a sad look on her face, and Principal Celestia noticed this.

"Are you alright, Luna?" Principal Celestia asked.

"Huh?' Vice Principal Luna answered as she looked back up. "Oh, I'm fine."

"Okay." Principal Celestia replied with a nod while looking a bit suspicious of her sister. She then held the microphone back up to her face to continue the assembly. "Anyway. So, the upcoming science fair will be at the end of the month..."

You were too busy trying to calm yourself down to pay attention to the rest assembly and avoid looking at Vice Principal Luna. So, you just kept your head down and waited until the assembly was over.

A few hours later after the assembly and a couple more classes, you were at your locker getting your stuff and were about to head home. As you shut your locker and were about to leave, you turned around to see your friends standing behind you. And just like they do when you're going through these anxious problems, they were seriously worried about you.

"Hey, girls." You greet them with a friendly smile. "What's up?"

Rarity then stepped forward and pulled you into a hug.

"Anon, I swear to goodness. Whenever I see you dealing with those dreadful anxiety issues, I just want hold you close to me and never let you go." Rarity said in a sad tone as she hugged you while patting you on the back.

"Yeah. Me, too." Pinkie also said in a sad tone as she too step forward and pulled you and Rarity into a hug.

"I really wish someone as kind and considerate like you didn't have to deal with that pain, Anon." Fluttershy said while sounding just as sad as Rarity and Pinkie.

"Me, too." You replied as pulled yourself from Rarity and Pinkie. "But, what can you do?"

Upon separating from the hug, Rarity and Pinkie got mad.

"Hey! Who said that the hug was over?!" Pinkie asked rhetorically in an angry tone as she and Rarity pulled you back into a hug.

"I'm fine right now, girls! Really!" You pleaded.

"Hush, darling!" Rarity replied as she made her embrace a bit tighter.

While the other girls were still just as worried as Rarity and Pinkie, they couldn't help but giggle a bit from this.

"You should feel lucky, Anon." Rainbow Dash chuckled while smirking. "Most boys your age would kill for something like this."

You couldn't help but blush a bit from Rainbow Dash's comment. You were then beginning to think you had enough hugs for one day, so you asked Rarity and Pinkie to let you go.

"Okay, Pinkie and Rarity. Please let me go now." You told Rarity and Pinkie.

"No!" They both shouted in a sad tone.

"Girls, let him go." Sunset demanded while giggling a bit.

"Fine." They both said as they separated from you while looking sad upon doing so.

You giggled a bit from those two being so stubborn. Sunset then stepped forward while also still giggling from Rarity and Pinkie's behavior.

"So, how are you feeling now?" Sunset asked.

"Like i said, I'm alright now." You replied with a smile, which then became a sad look. "But, I'm trying my hardest not to think back to that assembly. I really wish there was something to take my mind off it right now."

"Your wish has been granted, my uneasy audience member!" A voice said near you.

You and the girls turned to where that voice came from, and it came from the one and only Trixie Lulamoon.

"Trixie?" You asked.

"Yes. It is I, the grrreat and powerful Trrrixie!" Trixie replied with her usual introduction. "I saw you at the assembly, and my sympathy for you is of great power like yours truly. And I wish to perform a private magic act for you to help take your mind off of that horrible experience."

All of the girls smirked and raised curious eyebrows at Trixie, much to her confusion.

"What?" Trixie asked in an annoyed tone.

"You just don't want Principal Celestia to give you three weeks of trigonometry detention, right?" Twilight asked.

"No." Trixie replies while doing poorly at convincing the girls the opposite due to a suspicious tone and poor eye contact. "And so what if I didn't? Trigonometry is not one of my best skills, and anything that makes me look less great and powerful doesn't sit with me."

All of the girls start giggling as they were obviously not buying Trixie's fib, much to her embarrassment.

"Okay, fine. You're right." Trixie confessed while rolling her eyes.

"Well, go right ahead anyway, Trixie." You replied with a friendly smile. "It might not totally take my mind off the assembly, but I don't mind a bit of entertainment."

"Excellent!" Trixie said with excitement as her pupils dilated. "Trixie always appreciates a willing audience member!" She then gives the girls a frown "And she also appreciates one that sets a good example for a group of naysayers."

The girls all look at Trixie with unamused looks.

"Just get on with the magic act, Trixie." Rainbow Dash said while rolling her eyes. "We've all got somewhere to be."

"As you wish." Trixie replied while still wearing a frown. She then pulls out a black top hat from behind her back along with a black magic wand. She then looks at you with a smile. "And now, the grrreat and powerful Trrrixie's magic trick for you will be the old-fashioned pull a rabbit out of a hat trick."

"You can really do that?" You asked in curious voice.

"Why, of course." Trixie replied with a nod. "I've done it before to help Fluttershy find her pet rabbit."

"Oh, yeah. I remember that." Fluttershy said while thinking back to that moment.

"So do I!" Pinkie replied in a happy tone. "It was when we were at the mall that one time. And for some reason, everything lacked color and we were all singing even though we weren't moving our mouths."

You all looked at Pinkie with confusion about what she was talking about.

"But, anyway. Go on, Trixie! I want to see this rabbit!" Pinkie said while looking at Trixie with excitement for her trick.

"Uh, sure." Trixie replied in a confused tone. She then looks back at you with a smile and continues her act. "Okay. Now pay attention, my anxious witnesser."

Trixie flips her black top hat right side up and taps the top of the hat with magic wand. She then flips back upside down.

"Now, once I say the magic words, I will reach into this hat and pull out a rabbit." Trixie stated as she clears her throat to say the magic words. "Abraca-Trixie-dabra. A-Lula-kazam. Ala peanut butter crackers! Make a rabbit come to the great and powerful Trixie!" Trixie then reaches into her hat to pull out a rabbit.

You and the girls watch in suspense as Trixie just put her hand into the hat.

"And now, my jittery spectator." Trixie says to you. "Be amazed as I, the grrreat and powerful Trrrixie, presents to you with your very own eyes..." Trixie then quickly pulls her hand out of her hat while closing her eyes. "A RABBIT!"

You and the girls looked at what Trixie pulled out of her hat. And much to your confusion, it wasn't a rabbit.

"Uh, Trixie? That's not a rabbit." Sunset said.

"What?" Trixie replies as she opens her eyes. She then chuckles as if Sunset was messing with her. "Yeah, right, Sunset. Of course it's a..." She then looked at what she actually pulled out of her hat, and her face then fell upon seeing her error. "Skirt."

You all then heard a very loud scream that sounded like it came from a distance inside the school. You all went wide-eyed upon hearing that scream.

"Something tells me that skirt didn't come from the Lost and Found." Pinkie said as she looks at where the scream came from with a curious eyebrow.

You all then looked back at whose skirt Trixie was holding. You all examined the skirt. It was a light orchid colored skirt with a violet treble clef on it.

Rarity went wide-eyed again upon realizing who the skirt belonged to. She then turned around again and immediately reacted with a terrified look upon seeing that the skirt owner was walking towards them.

"Uh, darlings? We should probably get out of the way." Rarity said in a fearful tone as she stepped out of the way.

You and the other girls except Trixie looked back at the direction where the scream came from, and you all then stepped aside also while also looking as fearful as Rarity.

"What's going on? Why are all of you up against the lockers?" Trixie asked you all. She then turns her head forward upon hearing a loud angry growl. Her eyes went wide again upon seeing who was in front of her. The angry person who Trixie was looking at was Octavia Melody.

"Uh, heh, h-hi, O-Octavia." Trixie chuckled nervously with sweat pouring down her face.

Octavia stared at Trixie with a furious look and a red face with steam coming out of her head, and she was clenching her fists in anger while holding her cello in her left hand.

You all looked down at Octavia and noticed that she had a jacket around her waist to cover up her embarrassment. You all then looked back up at her and noticed that her best friend Vinyl Scratch, also known by her disc jockey stage name DJ Pon-3 which she prefers to be addressed as, was with her. And from the looks of her not wearing her usual jacket, she lended it to Octavia for obvious reasons. Luckily, she wears a tank top under her jacket.

Octavia walked towards Trixie while still looking as angry as ever. Trixie stepped back in while looking even more fearful.

I-I'm s-sorry, Octavia!" I was trying to make a rabbit come out of my hat! Not your skirt!" Trixie apologized in a panicking tone. She then holds the skirt up for Octavia to take back. "Here! You can have it back!"

Octavia grabbed the skirt out of Trixie's hand while staring at Trixie in the eyes with a pretty terrifying angry face that would give someone nightmares. She then looks past Trixie and then says something.

"Hey, is that a peanut butter cracker salesman?" Octavia asks casually.

"Where?!" Trixie asks with excitement as turns around with dilated eyes. Her excited face then vanished upon seeing nobody behind her. She then turned back around to look at Octavia. "Uh, there was no..."

Suddenly, Octavia clobbered Trixie in the head with her cello, which caused it to snap right in half and knock Trixie to the floor in intense pain.

You and the girls reacted in fear and shock as you saw Octavia hit Trixie with her cello. The only one who wasn't scared was DJ Pon-3, who was bopping her head while flicking her tongue up and down and making a sign of the horns hand gesture.

Octavia then threw the half of her cello she had in her hand onto the floor in anger and then she and Dj Pon-3 walked away, leaving you and the girls looking at Trixie who was still lying on the floor.

"You okay, Trixie?" You asked in a worried tone.

Trixie then gets up off the floor while looking at you with a goofy face that was caused from being hit on the head.

"Why, Trixie is just peachy!" Trixie answered while speaking in a very silly voice. "I may not have made a rabbit appear in my hat, but at least I made something appear in there!" She then tips forward like she she's going to fall to the floor again. "Well, that's it for another one Trixie's great and powerful magic tricks! Good night, everybody!" Trixie then falls to the floor as she was now out cold.

You and the girls stared at Trixie as laid on the floor unconscious with weirded out reactions. You then looked up at the girls.

"Should we carry her to the nurse?" You asked them.

"Yeah, we definitely should." Sunset replied.

You all then carried Trixie to the nurse. What just happened may have been bizarre for all of you, but on the bright side, at least it took your mind off of the assembly.
