Chapter 1 The Fall of Pride.

Author's Note:

Let me know what you all think of this as a head's up ahead of time Anon-a-miss will be happening long before the battle of the bands. Mainly because chronological speaking it fits better in my humble opinion. So with that out of the way let's get on with it. Another head's up is that don't expect anything to be word for word only saw the Fall Formal once so yeah.

She lay in that crater in front of Canterlot High wondering how it had all gone so wrong? The element of Magic wasn't supposed to reveal that half of her what she really was. Just supposed to be a little power boost to put Rainbow Dash down for her goading. Instead she'd felt the element of Magic forcefully rip away her human form. "Should I just stay down here," Sunset thought as she lay in the crater before starting to crawl her way up and out. She could see her hands were a normal skin tone to them since she lost Magic so there was at least hope they would just mistake her transformation as something related to the element of Harmony rather than more to do with herself.

"Magic isn't just about power Sunset Shimmer. It's also about the friends that you have with you something you have much to learn about," Twilight said as Sunset reached the lip of the crater.

"But how was I am supposed to," Sunset said before she saw hand out stretched to her.

"All you need is to reach out to start," Twilight said with a encouraging smile.

Sunset took the hand of the Princess of Friendship getting up on unsteady legs feeling like she could fall down again if someone sneezed in her direction.

"Besides I think I know some people who might be willing to give you a chance to learn," Twilight said as she looked over at her counter parts of her friends.

"Wait hold up you mean you want us to make nice with her," Rainbow Dash said indignation evident in her voice as she got jabbed in the ribs by AJ.

"Don't cha worry none sugarcube will keep an eye on her and help her out," AJ cut in ignoring the sidelong look Rainbow Dash was giving her for getting jabbed in the ribs by the farm girl's elbow. Most of the Maine 5 seem to at least on the surface share AJ sentiments on helping Sunset out as far as Twilight could tell.

"Thanks girls this means a lot really," she said to her friends.

Due to the damages to the school most of the party for the Fall Formal was moved outside. Sunset every once in a while glancing over remorseful before Vice Principal Luna gave her a look that got her back to helping Snips and Snails with the cleaning up. Not that she begrudged any of the looks she got that night after all she had done over the years she had it coming really.

Eventually everyone started to head home and Sunset caught sight of Twilight saying goodbye to the girls before walking through the portal that lead back to Equestra. "Well there goes my chance to leave," Sunset thought as the portal in the statue closed down blocking access between the two realities. She was about to turn around and walk off when she heard someone speak behind her.

"Is everything alright Sunset," It would be a long time before she forgot that voice.

"No Princ- Principal Celestia I'm fine just was going to walk home," Sunset said almost slipping up and call her Princess rather than Principle.

"Why don't I give you a ride it's supposed to get pretty chilly out tonight," Principal Celestia said always being the good Samaritan.

"It's fine really, but thanks all the same," Sunset said as she weaved around her Principal to start the trek home.

"If you're sure Sunset," Celestia said watching the girl stumble off down the sidewalk. As Sunset's figure got smaller Celestia couldn't help but feel a nagging feeling at the back of her mind. Like something was urging her to try to offer help again for the girl. It just didn't feel right to leave her alone after what happened to her.

Sunset eventually made back to her shack she'd been living in since coming to this reality it wasn't much just three walls and a tarp to keep the wind and weather out along with a sleeping bag she had snagged in her first trip to a store. She could still remember that day she had gone into the store alone confused and colder than she had ever felt. She had gone to the camping supplies section and saw the sleeping bags. She had tried to sneak out with one stuffed in her backpack but it had quickly turned into her having to out run an irate store staff member when they asked her to empty out her backpack. "Home sweet home," Sunset thought bitterly as she fell into an uneasy sleep.

The train pulled up to the station letting it's few passengers out into the late Autumn air. One being a sixteen year old he was in a simple white shirt and jeans with a almost completely buzz cut haircut. The teen looked about the station and the town around it. "Good to be home finally. Wonder how Pride has been holding up after all these years," the teen said to himself as he put on a pair of headphones started to jog away from the station. As he was jogging he saw his school and well more importantly the crater and hole in the wall. "Damn what happened while I was gone everything go to hell in a hand basket," he thought seeing the damage. Eventually reaching home he knocked hand wrapping a beat on the wood door no answer came from the dark house.

"Probably all asleep at this hour, let's see if I still remember were dad kept the spare key," he said reaching the top of the door frame and feeling for the key.

"There it is," he said before unlocking the door and walking into the house.

He jumped as the lights to the living room came on and shouts came from those gathered in the room. "Welcome home Cane Suga!" Cane smiled seeing his family as the clapped him on the back and welcomed him into the house. "Had me worried you all had gone to bed without welcoming me back," Cane said a smile still on his face.

"Nonsense why'd we not welcome our son back after his return from military school," Cane's father said clapping a hand firmly on his shoulder.

"Chevron dear why don't we let him get his bags off so he can settle down besides he likely tired from the long ride home," Cane's mother said to his father. Lifting his hand from his son's shoulder Chevron let Cane set his bags down and settle onto the couch. "Believe me mom I'm fine not about to fall over exhausted just yet," Cane said to his mother's words.

They talked well into the night all three catching up on things before Cane eventually called it a night and bid his parents good night settling down for the night.
