It was morning at CHS and it's only been a week since Sunset Shimmer changed her name into Dump Wheel but later changed back to her real name. We see all door lockers and walls being covered with graffiti, which is vandalism.

Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna had sent Sunset Shimmer and Applejack to clean up the graffiti as they gave them a bucket filled with soapy water and two sponges on it. They were in a hallway which the lockers around them were covered with graffiti too.

"Alright, while we're looking for the real culprit, we need you girls to clean the graffiti on the locker doors. Just make sure you clean all of it." Celestia instructed.

"Clean all of it?" Sunset asked lazily.

"That's right, Sunset Shimmer. All of it now cleans it all while we're finding the real culprit."

Then the two Principals left, leaving the two girls with the bucket they gave them.

"Alright Sugacube, let's get to cleaning." She then sees Sunset slowly doze off, but she clapped her hands to startle her awake. "Yer' shouldn't playin' video games all night, Sugarcube. That ain't healthy."

"I wouldn't mind going back to sleep." Sunset lazily said.



The scene transitions to Sunset Shimmer and Applejack cleaning up the door lockers and walls.

"Ya know what, Sugarcube? If ah find whoever did this and just-AARRGGHH!" Applejack said.

"I know AJ, they're probably sitting around somewhere just laughing at us."

Then Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo came by while Rainbow's hands were covered with orange sauce and her shirt was also stained too.

"Sooo…I heard you guys are cleaning even if you two didn't do it." She said,

The girls turned around and faced her and Sunset said, "Yeah, this is sooo tiring. I'd rather take Pinkie Pie's advice and eat all of the sugar, so I'll be energized to do this until they find the culprit."

"Well, she may be Pinkie Pie but eating that much sugar for breakfast ain't healthy and the best option. Remember what happened last time while we're at the Starswirl festival?" Applejack said. "Plus, ya' shouldn't be up all-night playing video games."

"Don't worry, I'll just go ask the others and see if they can help us find the culprit." Dash said. "It's going to be an easy cake if we stick together. He just got to be around this school."

Applejack noticed Rainbow Dash's stained shirt and her hands were covered with orange sauce.

"Wait a gosh darn minute!" She exclaimed. "Did ya paint this graffiti, Rainbow Dash?"

"Wait, you can't blame it on me! I may be an artist when it comes to art class, but I am no graffiti artist."

Then they became more suspicious when they saw orange stuff on her hands and on her sleeves.

"What is that?"

"What is what?"

"The orange paints on your hands!" Sunset replied.

"This isn't paint, Sunset. It's from the nachos we just had for lunch." She answered.

"How would ah know yer' lyin' or not?"

"Haven't you ever tried nachos? They always hook you up with the extra cheese."

"I reckon ya did this."

"You better watch who you're accusing, AJ. Remember the Anon-A-Miss incident?"

"Hey, this is different from the Anon-A-Miss." Sunset said.

"Well, then don't put the blame on me, I didn't do it!" She said,

"Ah'm sorry Dash, but you did this." Applejack said.

"Girls, what's going on?" A voice came from their Vice-Principal as she and her sister returned to the scene.

"Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna, we know who did the graffiti." Sunset said.

"What? Who?"

She made a gesture towards Rainbow Dash.

"But Principal Celestia, its cheese for those nachos, smells like it!"

"We're not going to smell your fingers, Rainbow Dash. Just tell us the truth, and I'll take your word for it." Celestia calmly said.

"But I am telling you the truth! Principal Celestia, I can't believe all of you to think that the criminal is me!" She spoke. "Sunset, you have mind-reading powers, back me up!"

But before she could use her empathy powers on her, a can of spray paint fell from her pocket.

"Look, it does spray-paint!" AJ exclaimed.

"Nachos, you say, hmm?" VP Luna asked.

Rainbow Dash became nervous. "Uh…um…that's not mine!"

"Yeah, right, it was in your pocket!" Sunset scolded.

"Uh…okay, alright. I was spray painting, okay? But-"

"But what?"

"But I didn't do the graffiti! I was painting Scootaloo's scooter orange!"

"Really?" Scootaloo asked.

"Then why did you lie about the paint?" Celestia asked.

"Because it was supposed to be a surprise until someone has to be dumb enough and paint all of this!" Rainbow Dash said.

"She's lying!" Another student said,

"No, I'm not!" Rainbow defended.

"I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash. I'm gonna have to suspend you for the whole month."

"What?" She asked in shock.

"You heard me." Celestia replied.

"Are you suspending me, ma'am?!"

"Yes. I mean it."

"If she goes, I go too." Scootaloo intervened.

"What? You're also behind this scheme?"

"Never mind."

"That was really cool, scoots. You want me to stay out for a whole month, Principal Celestia?! Fine!" She threw her school stuff on the ground. "But I'm just going to do something else outside of school! So, I'm not coming back, no matter how much you begged!" She shouted and walked away. "I'll see you later scoots…"

When she walks away, Principal Celestia glanced at the girls.

"Girls, I know it is hard to believe that your friend did this. Believe I know. Right now, you both finished cleaning all of it and have your classes." Celestia ordered.

When the two principals walked away, the girls stood there in shock.

"I cannot believe Rainbow Dash would do this!" Sunset said.

"Neither did I."

Then they heard the sounds of a spray being used and turned around and saw the real culprit wearing a black hoodie with his face being covered and made a run for it.

"What the-Hey! Stop!"

They chased the culprit throughout the hallways, and even shoving many people on his way. Then the culprit jumped through the window and when the girls checked, he was nowhere to be found. Not even on the ground.

"That ain't like Rainbow Dash."

"No Applejack, that's because it wasn't Rainbow Dash." She then let out a big sigh of guilt.

"Oh, man. That do we do?"

"We have to tell Principal Celestia and get her name cleared." Sunset suggested.

Then the girls arrived at her office. "Principal Celestia! It wasn't Rainbow Dash!"

"What are you talking about?" Celestia asked.

"It was this hooded guy! We didn't see that culprit's face, but-"

"Girls, I get it. You two feel bad for Rainbow Dash because she's your friend and I suspended her. I feel bad too."

"Principal Celestia, we're serious. She's innocent!" Sunset said.

"Can ya' check the cameras or something?"

"Hmm…You're absolutely right about that Applejack. But all of the school cameras have been destroyed since this morning."

"Look, we saw the real culprit, but he got away. If you please give us a chance to find him and prove Rainbow Dash's innocence, you cleared her name."

Celestia thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, I suppose I should give you girls a chance since I assume that you both were telling the truth."

"Thanks Principal Celestia. We'll do what we can!"

When they left the office, Applejack asked; "So what are we going to do?"

"We're going to ask plenty of witnesses in school if they ever know his whereabouts around here." Sunset suggested.

"You got it, Sugarcube."

Then they started to ask each person in the school if they ever witnessed the vandal.

"The great and powerful Trixie has not witnessed a graffiti vandal vandalizing our school!" Trixie said.

"Yep, that's the culprit but I don't know what he looked like." Flash said.

"I believe the last time I saw that mysterious culprit that he was spray-painting in the library." Micro Chips said.

"That no good vandal even sprayed me at ma' face but luckily, I covered my eyes on time!" Apple Bloom said.

After asking people who were witnesses, they decided to find Wallflower to ask one more question if she knows about the culprit. They visited her at the garden of the school and saw watering the plants.

"Hey, Wallflower." Sunset greeted.

"What? Are you coming to have me meet Principal Celestia too?" She asked.

"That ain't it, Sugarcube." Applejack replied.

"Good. Because my lunch for today is just nachos and extra cheese that kid named Scootaloo gave to me after you both accused Rainbow Dash of being the graffiti vandal." Wallflower said.

"About that, do you know anything about who did the graffiti?"

"It could be a townie." She answered.

"Townie?"

"A man who used to rule the school like a tyrant and got expelled before Sunset came to our world." She replied.

"That's probably the guy we saw!" Sunset exclaimed.

"Then I guess you guys have to deal with him. But it's not going to be easy. He strikes without a warning, and he vanishes into thin air. Say, what happened to Rainbow Dash?"

Later at night, we saw Rainbow Dash at Sugarcube Corner, on stage wearing a suit.

"And now for the comedian I know you're gonna like; Rainbow Dash!" The announcer said.

"Good evening, everyone! I have a very important question to all of you; why did a chicken cross the road? It's because that chicken is so dumb that he doesn't watch where he's going!"

But the crowd got bored and none of them were laughing.

"I said, it's because-"

"Get off the stage!" Someone yelled.

Then they started throwing tomatoes at Rainbow Dash and quickly made a run for it.

"Rainbow Dash, wait!" Scootaloo shouted.

Scene transitions to the next day at school, as the Equestria Girls (Except Rainbow Dash) helped clean up the graffiti being marked everywhere around them.

"Thanks for helping us out, guys." Sunset said.

"Oh, no worries darling," Rarity said. "You don't need to mention it."

"So, what are going to do about that mysterious vandal?" Fluttershy asked.

"We find him, catch him, and Rainbow's name is cleared." Sunset replied.

"But what Wallflower warned us yesterday, it's that it ain't goin' to be easy to catch that vandal. Considering he used to enroll in this school and later got expelled before Sunset came to our lives." AJ said.

"You're right. After this, we take action immediately." Twilight said.

Then the townie quickly sprayed paint on a door locker Sunset just cleaned and ran away. And it shows a sloppy portrait of Sunset's face.

"Why is it on me?"

"Let's just say that I'm clueless as you." Twilight said.

"But it doesn't even look like me!"

"Sunset, it's like you're looking into your human counterpart if she's here!" Pinkie Pie said.

Then they hear spray painting sounds, seeing the townie make an offensive portrait of Rarity's face on a wall and quickly run away.

"Excuse me?!" Rarity asked, very offended.

"Come on, let's go!" Applejack says.

A montage begins with the Equestria Girls chasing the townie, but he quickly got away, every time they attempt to catch him red handed.

The chase lasted for 10 minutes, and the girls decided to rest at the band room.

"How does he keep getting away from us?" Twilight asked. Sitting down and letting out a huge sigh.

"I don't know." Applejack replied. "It's like he's just messing with us or something."

Then Scootaloo came by, holding a scooter which was painted orange like Rainbow Dash talked about.

"Hey, Scootaloo, what's up?" Sunset asked.

"Not much." She answered. "I heard you guys tried to catch the graffiti culprit, but I assume it's not very easy for you all."

"You think? We got powers! Ah, I want to use our powers!" Applejack said.

"Well, if we did, then we'll scare him away and he'll never come back and prove that Rainbow's innocent." Fluttershy said.

Then Sunset thought hard enough until she finally got a better solution. She turned her focus to Pinkie Pie and asked; "Pinkie Pie, can you bring at least 4 buckets filled with orange paint?"

The scene cuts to the very same spot where the situation began. And the entire wall was covered with orange paint while the townie pulled out his spray can.

No class…" He groaned.

When he began painting, Sunset and Applejack opened their eyes.

"Class this!"

Then they tackled him, and the rest of their friends charged from their hiding spots and helped pinning him down on the ground. And when Sunset flipped the townie's hoodie off, his head revealed to be the top of a spray can.

"WHAT THE HECK?!"

Then, the townie pushed the girls off of him as if it was nothing and sprayed at a wall with his head, making a portal.

"Come on. Let's go!"

Then both Sunset and Applejack manage to go through the portal, but the rest didn't make it as the portal shortly shrinks, leaving Pinkie Pie to bump into the wall to where the portal was opened.

"Bummer…" Pinkie Pie said.

Meanwhile, the two girls ended up in a dark room filled with graffiti marks. Then they see the townie on the far side.

"There he is!"

"It ends now!" The townie said, pulling a lever, causing all of his graffiti to come to life.

"Get rid of those girls!" Then he goes inside a white door.

While a weird looking creature was charging towards them.

"Sunset, give ma' the paint brushes!"

She gave Applejack the paint brush and she quickly painted something. But only painted a horrific stickman figure.

"That's a lot harder than it looks…"

The green monster stomps on her painting, and Both Sunset Shimmer and Applejack run for their lives to the white door while avoiding getting killed by those creatures or worse.

"We gotta get to that door!" But then a monster with red arms and its hands has teeth blocked the way and grabbed Applejack.

"APPLEJACK!"

Applejack quickly channeled her geode and used her super strength to resist the grip of the monster and landed on her feet.

"Are you okay, AJ?" She asked, helping her to get on her feet and saw the door. "Look! There it is! C'mon!"

Luckily, Sunset and AJ outrun the monster as they get inside the white door. And all they could see there was nothing but all white.

"Where…are we?"

"It's some sort of white room or something. Just like last time when Vignette trapped us all in that white room together." AJ said.

"But I feel like this is different." Sunset said.

They hit their bellies, feet, and head on something which frustrates them.

"Arrgh, what the heck is all this?! AJ, give me the paint brush!"

Applejack gave her the paintbrush and Sunset painted something that hit her head belly just now, and it reveals to be a T.V

"Sugarcube, that's a T.V."

She turns around and paints another object.

"That looks like a futon!"

"I reckon someone must have lived here."

But before Sunset continued painting, they heard a voice, shouting at them.

"Hey, you, stop it!" Then the townie appears behind the door. "C'mon man! Not the coffee table!"

"Keep painting Sunset!" AJ ordered.

"Don't! What's the matter with you?!"

Sunset stopped painting. "You painted all over the whole school!"

"Ya, but it's different, ya know! It's what I do! My stuff looks good! You, you're just making a mess!" Then Sunset starts painting again. "Alright! Alright! Alright! Take it easy! Take it easy! I'll quit painting your stupid school! Also, I'm from Equestria!"

"Well guess what, townie?" Sunset asked. "I'm from Equestria too! And you gotta admit to our school's principal that it was you!"

"Why?!"

"Cause our friend got suspended for the whole month for what you did!"

"So what?!" Sunset began painting again. "Okay, okay, okay, I'll admit it!"

"And you're going back to Equestria where you'll be behind bars in Princess Celestia's castle dungeons for the rest of your life!"



The scene cuts at the front of CHS, where the Equestria Girls were gathering with the townie, confessing to the school's principals.

"Yeah! That's right! I'm the one who did all of this! I am the graffiti artist!" The townie confessed.

"And I am telling Princess Twilight Sparkle about this!" Sunset said.

"Tough chance!" He then sprays the ground, creating a portal but gets stuck halfway through. "Aw man…"

Then she and Applejack turned their attention to Rainbow Dash.

"We're really sorry that we got you suspended, Rainbow Dash." Sunset apologized.

"Nah, it's alright guys. I'm cool with it." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Well, since the real culprit was caught, I'd like to say that your suspension has been revoked!" Principal Celestia said. "I'll see you back here tomorrow Mrs. Dash!"

"Thanks Principal Celestia." Rainbow said. "But I'll just spend the rest of the day here and help my friends to clean up all of the graffiti that guy made."

"You got it, sugarcube!"



The scene cuts to the Equestria Girls, using their powers in helping to clean up all the locker doors and walls that were painted with graffiti and stuff.

"Sooo, that's got to be one of your craziest adventures, Sunset." Rainbow Dash said.

"You said it, Dash." Sunset replied.

"So, guys, want to eat some nachos for lunch?"

Then each of their responses is either, "Sure," "Why not?" "Okay," "Okey, dokey," "Alright,"

"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
