For Sunset Shimmer, everything in her life was finally great. She had managed to turn her whole life around, had found a wonderful group of friends, and had made amends with the student body for her actions and failures in her past. After years of misery and loneliness, she finally found happiness. It was a dream come true.
Unfortunately, every dream has to end sooner or later.
A few days ago, an unknown user on the social media website Mystable going by Anon-a-Miss started spreading personal secrets of the students of Canterlot High School online for everybody to read. To make matters worse, Anon-a-Miss went to great lengths to make it look like Sunset was behind the account, and the whole school fell for it, believing that she had gone back to her old ways.
In the span of just a few days, everything Sunset had worked so hard for was destroyed, and it hurt her deeply. However, as long as her friends were by her side, she could endure all the suffering the student body brought upon her.
Tragically and unexpectedly, though, her best friends, the girls Sunset had been with ever since her reformation, also believed that she was Anon-A-Miss and abandoned her. After everything they went through together, they almost immediately threw her away like trash to be left alone against the angry mob the rest of the school had turned into.
That was five days ago. Five horrible days, all on her own. Now, Sunset lay curled up on her bed inside of her small apartment, silently crying to herself. It was ten o' clock on a Monday, and she was supposed to be at school, but she didn't care. Not anymore. She wasn't going back to that hellhole. She didn't even bother to inform anybody about her absence.
'Not that anybody would miss me, anyway,' she thought. 'They'd probably throw a party if I never showed up at school again.'
Sunset tried to stand up, but her legs gave way when she put weight on them, and she hit the floor painfully, the thin carpet doing little to cushion the impact. She was a wreck, another "present" from the rest of the student body. During school, she only had to worry about some insults and shoving, but outside of school was a different matter.
The previous day, she was jumped by several students in an alleyway. Now, she was a mosaic of bruises and cuts, and her entire body was in pain. But what hurt the most was her left eye, swollen shut by a run-in with a fist, the strength of which belying its small size. But it wasn't the physical pain that gave it that dubious honor.
The day of her beating, she had made another attempt to reach out to her friends and convince them that she was innocent. The conversation didn't exactly go as planned. There was a lot of shouting from her friends and a lot of pleading from her. In the end, Rainbow Dash snapped and swung at Sunset, connecting with Sunset's eye. After getting back on her feet, Sunset ran away in tears, only to run past an alley and into the other students' ambush.
Just thinking about what Rainbow did brought her to tears again. Now, she was truly convinced that she had lost them. Or maybe, they never really were her friends in the first place. In fact, judging by how quickly they threw her aside, Sunset was growing more and more convinced that they were just waiting for her to go back to her old ways before the Fall Formal so that they could stop pretending to be her friends. She was only a charity case, and the only reason they stuck with her was a promise made to Twilight to teach her friendship. They would have never even talked to her if not for that promise.
Sunset lifted her head slightly to look at her journal on her nightstand, the only connection to Equestria she still had. It's been two days since the last message she received from Twilight, when Sunset mentioned that she would go to the girls again for another shot. Twilight had assured her that everything would be fine.
Since then, Sunset had written many messages to Twilight, each more desperate for help than the last, but the journal remained quiet. After two days, Sunset began thinking that even Twilight had had enough of her and that she was truly alone now.
Sunset tried again to stand up, and with a little perseverance and a lot of pain, she managed to stay on her feet this time. Her entire body was sore and rebelled with every step, but she nevertheless slowly made her way to the window and looked outside.
It had started snowing some time ago, and everything was covered in white. On any other day, the virgin snow and quiet scene would've brought a smile to Sunset's face. Now, though, it only reminded her of the frigid glares she had been constantly receiving and the cold grip of despair that choked her heart.
The whole school was against her again, and her friends had abandoned her. She had fallen further than rock bottom, and she was reaching her limit. But as a teenage girl, she couldn't just move away to another town, and without Twilight, she could not even go back to Equestria. She was lost.
'Oh, Celestia,' she thought, another tear running down her cheek, 'what should I do?'
At the same time, on the other side of Canterlot, a young, teenage girl fell backward onto her bed, sighing in relief. Her family had just moved into town from Manehattan, and she has just finished unpacking the last of her belongings and decided to rest for a few minutes.
"Sweetie, are you there?" she heard from the hall.
The girl groaned slightly, but she sat up quickly. "Yes, Mum, I am."
Her mum walked inside and looked around the room, her red hair swinging around with every movement of her head. She was a middle-aged woman but still a beautiful sight, something her husband reminded her of every day.
"Wow, you're already finished with your room," her mum said, surprised. "It looks really good. I was sure it would look like a storage room for at least two months. I guess I owe your dad ten dollars, now."
"Well, next time, you should make sure he's not allowed to bargain with me," the girl said with a smirk. "I'm getting fifty percent from him."
"I should've known he wouldn't play fair," her mum said, rolling her eyes.
The girl watched her mother look around, avoiding eye contact with her daughter all the while. She could tell that her mother did not simply come to look at the room.
"Okay, Mum, what's on your mind?" she asked.
Her mother let out a sigh and sat down on the bed beside her daughter. "Sweety, are you sure you want to go to that public school? I know that your dad and I said it's up to you, but I still think it would be better to go to a private school like before."
The girl rolled her eyes. "Yes, Mum, I'm sure. Private schools are too focused on studies; most of the other students there don't think about anything else. I want to have fun and, more importantly, make some friends. And from what I heard, Canterlot High is a good school, so my grade point average won't suffer." She stood up from her bed and walked over to the window. Outside, the falling snow was dancing in the wind, creating a beautiful sight. "You'll see, Mum. I'll make a lot of friends and have tons of fun, all while keeping my grades up. Everything will be fine."
The teenager looked over the part of the neighborhood visible from her room, preparing herself for this new town.
Sunset Shimmer has arrived in Canterlot.
Oh crap
Hmmm this is going to be very interesting
So....... two Sunsets?
If this goes anywhere towards Dainn's Anon a Miss and it's on the wrong Sunset this could end badly for CHS.
Her parents could sue the school and families. They could sue the CMCs family. Celestia and maybe Luna could lose their jobs. And maybe a large amount of CHS could be suspended or even expelled including RD
You know. That's something I'd love to see in the next Equestria Girls movie, the Humane 7 meeting the human world's Sunset Shimmer. That could make for at an interesting premise (or subplot) right there.
Sometime, hopefully in the next day or two, I'll have my own human Sunset Anon-a-Miss story, and I know from others that it's not the only "Human-Sunset meets Anon-a-Miss" in the works.
Could be the start of a sub-genre. If it is, you get to take credit for said sub-genre by virtue of having publishing first. Congratulations.

Heck. My honest truth is: if this fic goes down that path and they do find out it's the wrong Sunset. Then for the CHS in general, it's basically this:
Even if I know it's probably not the case, the way human sunset and her mother interact make me think of a younger sunset the same age of the crusader. That would have been interesting ^^.
anyway, a promising start.
Oh boy.... This can't end for Human Sunset. You, my friend have my attention.

What is currently already written does not go down such a dark way any longer, but it did once before. I changed many things over time while trying to find out what would work and what not for me, so I might return to that idea later down the road again. I got a rough idea what exactly will happen, and I'm pretty open about other things.
8573639
I have been waiting for this for a long time as well. I would already be happy if she would even be mentioned sometime. It must have crossed Sunsets mind at least after meeting Sci-Twi that there must be another Shimmer somewhere.
8573674
Thank you
No pressure at all I'm already overwhelmed with the attention that received till now
8573704
Nope, she is the same age as our Sunny. In my head canon the portal transforms everyone who steps through to the body and age the counter part would have at that time. So let's say our Sunny is already in her late twenties and the human one seventeen. Our Sunny became younger again, while the human Sunny would age up to match her counter part in Equestria. I hope my explanation makes sense, english is not my first language so I got sometimes problems explaining things

8573741
thanks, I hope that I won't disappoint with what I do
8573861
I have faith in ya
I hope this Human Sunset can defend herself from the muscle bonded oaths at CHS.
oh...sh*t. this is gonna be a really huge problem if Human Sunset gets to CHS! I HOPE ANON-A-MISS IS REVEALED BEFORE THEN!
Well shite. When Human Sunset goes to CHS, and things happen to her. Well, all I can say is RIP CHS
You have my attention, this looks like it is going to be awesome. Can't wait for the next chapter.
An Anon-a-Miss story... with a human Sunset?
Seems interesting. Hopefully this turns out better than the one that added Princess Celestial.
8574358
That's awesome!
I use this clip all the time to show my interest in a story and now seeing it under my own is cool
8574405
Do you mean Dawn? I like that story, but true, Celestia is a bit over the top
I hope this will turn out well in the end
8575030
Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's bad just disappointing. It started off promising but quickly devolved into a typical Anon-a-miss story. It's still a really good Celestia x Sunset reunion story though.
8575030
And now it comes to a full circle!
In all seriousness, I'm interested to see what comes next in this story. Looking forward to the next chapter!
8575472
It is already pretty much done besides some details, but I'm not sure if it's good to post it yet. The third one is still work in progress and I don't want to change something in two if I got an idea for three which does not fit with previous information.
Guess I will wait a bit until I got a bit more for three

This is a twist I haven't seen before, actually, and I'm pretty excited with how it's going. This chapter could use a proofreader or editor to really make it shine, though; there's a few grammatical errors, and the dialogue seems kinda stilted. I'm willing to do it, if you'd like. Just shoot me a PM if you're interested.
8586016
Someone already mentioned that I'm the first one to post an Anon-A-Miss story with the human Sunset and how excited they are how it will go. It's puts juuust a little bit of pressure on me
I would really like that if you want to look over it. English is not my first language and grammar was always a weakpoint of mine. At the moment I only use one of those websites to grammar check my work
I will send you a PM later, I'm not home at the moment.
8586037 No problem! I'm patient, so go ahead and send a PM whenever it's convenient. Looking forward to it!
8586037
Actually, at that point in time maybe you were the only one but now there's another one like this.
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/394082/just-the-two-of-me
And this is what happens when I don't update my own story often enough. Heh, well, at the very least its a broadening out of the genre. Human Sunset is a concept that should be explored more often in general. Interested to see where this goes.
Man i feel really sorry for Sunset and what the other Sunset will have to face soon. Despite what everyone says I personally think that Flash would belive Sunset is not anon-a-miss. Despite what Sunset may have done to him in the past.
8602350
I think so as well. Flash, Snips and Snails are the ones who spend the most time with Sunset and know how she used to act the best. They would point out that Anon-A-Miss is way to obvious pointing at her to be Sunset.
8602377
Theres aalso another thing. Unlike what everyone writes I actually belive Princess Twilight may not 100% side with Sunset. Many make ponies to be flawless and all that bt Twilight has been shown to hold grudges case and point both Trixie and Discord. While she may not act the same as the human 5 I belive theres a part of her that may belive she is resposible, despite what everyone writes or argues Twilight dosen't know Sunset that well.
8602398
There can only be one punishment. Human Mane 5 and Crusaders, choose your sentence:
Either way, the sentence is death.
8602398
it's not about knowing her, which I totally understand, but it's about Twilight giving Sunset the benefit of the doubt, guilty until proven innocent, she is not gullible enough to believe the crap frame job that the CMC are pulling.
The beginning was some obnoxious info-dumping, but once you settled into the story, it took a step up. And especially now that it's human-world Sunset, I'm excited despite the poor start.
the first thing i thought when i saw the name was craaaap this is going to be very awkward.
I can't stop laughing at the irony and the already foreseen future ah god
