Sunset Shimmer gets attacked at school. Who did it and why?

Set after Rainbow Rocks.

Ladyhood is a concept that Rarity knows well, so there's no better pony to teach Sweetie Belle the ropes when she comes of age.

Though, Sweetie had no idea that adulthood would be so scandalous.

Holy smokes, this got a live reading by StraightToThePointStudio, that's kind of POG.

Anon-A-Miss has been wreaking havoc all over Canterlot High. Secrets are spread and trust is broken. The Rainbooms go to confront their 'friend' Sunset Shimmer, but are surprised by what they find instead.

Three years ago, the Cutie Mark Crusaders went their separate ways to seek their futures. Over the years, they kept in touch, but now they're all coming home to Ponyville.

Apple Bloom finds herself excited, but also strangely apprehensive for the imminent reunion.

Losing her friends was the start of a self-destructive spiral for Sunset Shimmer. Convinced that she will never escape the echoes of her past, she tries to take her own life.

The attempt leaves her severely injured and she falls unconscious. In her dreams, she is visited by Princess Luna. They have much to discuss, whether Sunset likes it or not.

Sunset is accused of spreading everyone’s secrets on a Mystable page calling itself Anon-a-Miss, losing all of her friends and reputation in the process.

But it seems the school forgot one thing.

Sunset Shimmer isn't one to be easily broken.

A story dearly inspired by wanting something different out of the Anon-a-Miss 'Genre' of fics. Many are wonderful stories, but at the end of the day, most tend to fall into the same couple of tropes with slight alterations, and many of those tropes are ones I'm not terribly fond of.

So with my ever present desire to take a well trod genre and flip it on its head, I present my own take on this story, and one I have not personally seen. So I hope I deliver on giving you something different from the others!

No one apologized to Twilight after she told the truth about the wrong Cadence. After the wedding, they have a conversation with her. Especially with Princess Celestia.

Twilight Sparkle is now the ruler of Equestria, and she's thinking about all the times when she was a little mare.

Sunset could have been so much more and she knows it. But that fact hurts her far more than she thought it did, leading her to lash out.

Rainbow Dash forgot to get a Nightmare Night costume. It's a good thing Rarity just so happens to have she needs. Well, what's left that is.

Teen cause padding and stuff.
