Chapter 3: Nightmares from the Past

For the past two days, the Anon-A-Miss ordeal doesn't seem to stop. Not only Sun's friends, for The Dazzlings' case, ex-friends secrets are being exposed, but so far almost everyone in the school has a secret exposed. It's almost like Anon-A-Miss knows every little secret the students have. Sadly, everyone has this crazy idea Sun is doing this because her friends secrets are the first to be exposed, and the picture of the profile. Luckily for Sun only a handful of students never believe Sun would do something like that, including The Dazzlings and Sun's family here.

On a friday afternoon, today is a free day for the finals they have for the past three days. Sun, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, even Sun's little sister, Screwball are having lunch at a table in the corner, away from the crowd. When they are eating lunch, Sun is not only sad, but feels hurt because of what her friends, and everyone else believes without full concrete proof, and not eating much. As they eat lunch, everyone are starting to fight and argue with each other about their secrets being exposed.

Adagio sighs and says, "I can't believe this Anon-A-Miss problem has been going around all finals week, and everyone are fighting with each other."

"I know, it stinks," Aria says, looking annoyed.

"What's worse is that everyone has got that stupid idea in their heads that Sun is doing this. Well, except us," Screwball adds, feeling sad for her sister, and angry at what everyone believes.

"What about Rainbow Dash and the others, maybe they change their minds," Sonata suggests

But Aria turns to Sonata and firmly says, "They don't count since they actually believe Sun would do this, and bring chaos to the school."

Sonata is about to ask her question.

However, before Sonata can answer, Aria bluntly adds, "And no they did not change their minds. I asked them this morning, and they still don't have proof yet."

"Oh!" Sonata says looking clueless.

The four continue to eat her lunch, as they hear the situations from the other side. They turn to see Sun eating, but very slowly, and is looking tired.

Sonata shows a reassuring smile, and asks, "Hey Sun, how was your finals?"

"It was fine, but everyone kept glaring at me that I asked the teacher to be in the back room," Sun answers, while trying to keep her eyes open.

Aria rolls her eyes and angrily says, "Sheesh, what is wrong with these people?!"

"I know," Sonata agrees.

The girls turn over to see Sun still so tired that she almost fallen asleep on her lunch. Sonata moves her lunch out of the way, so she can have her head on the table. Adagio and her sisters, along with Screwball can tell what Sun is still having.

"Still can't get any sleep?" Adagio asks.

Feeling tired, Sun manages to answer, "No, and I'm really tired."

"And it's causing you to continue your studies or up late writing messages to Princess Twilight, and your private journal," Aria bluntly replies.

"Yes," Sun grumbly answers.

Then Adagio asks, "Well, what you've been dreaming about?"

Sun doesn't answer, instead she start to feel teary, and feels like something inside of her is being pounded really hard. The Dazzlings, and Screwball can see this dream must be so bad, that she's having trouble talking about it.

Screwball hugs her sister, and says with reassurance, "Come on Sun, you can tell us and we can help you."

Sun feels she can trust her friends, and her little sister with her dreams, but worried it will scare them. Sun is able to get up, and able to eat some of her lunch and her drink to help get up. After eating, she has more energy, and seeing her friends wanting to help, she decides to tell them her dreams.

With a sigh of sadness, Sun explains, "Well, to be honest it's not so much as a dream, but I think it's a memory from what happened a long time ago. I don't fully remember, but in a lot of my dreams, I was a small filly being carried away by a stallion. Two ponies, a grown mare and Stallion, who I believe are my parents try to get me back. I keep calling them for help, but they can't reach me. I was afraid I won't be able to see them again. I think it happened during a snowstorm, and ever since we've heard about the storm coming, I've been completely scared."

After explaining the story and her dreams to her friends, Sun actually starts to cry, and feels like she's in terrible pain. Now Screwball and the others can understand why Sun have been getting less sleep, and unable to go back after that, the approaching snow storm is making her have terrible nightmares about a terrible experience from her past.

Screwball remember something and says, "I think I remember you tell me you have a dream like that before."

Adagio and her sister are kind of stunned to hear Sun has this dream before, more like an awful nightmare.

Adagio asks, "When did this happen?"

"It was when my dad took me and my sister to Las Pegasus to visit our Aunt Eris. You see, there was this costume party Aunt Eris was having a hotel, and a robber managed to snuck into the hotel. Things got worse when he found his way to the balcony Sun was at. Dad was able to save her before the robber can do anything, but I think the experience scared her. When we got back from our vacation, Sun explains to us about the dream she had, meaning she had an awful experience similar to what she almost been trough at the time." Screwball explains.

The Dazzlings are more stunned by this by the minute. They have no idea Sun almost experienced something that scary. From what Sun and Screwball are telling them, The Dazzlings can tell they have a serious problem on their hands. With that, they try their best to confront Sun. However, what they don't know is that someone hear them too. The three young people who are watching them are The Crusaders. They start to feel like shedding tears hearing this, and wonder how could Sun go through something this terrible. Not wanting to be seen, the three girls leave the scene and go off to discuss about something.

Later in the evening, Sun and the three sisters are at her house. Screwball decides to do a sleepover just the five of them so they can help Sun. The Dazzlings, watch over Sun while she get some sleep, while Screwball try to find any clues. As Sun sleep, Adagio is doing stuff on Sun's laptop, since she asks sun earlier to use it. Aria is reading some of Sun's Daring Do books. Sonata is busy playing with Nina who is playing with her toys, and other stuff. Nina likes it when she gets to play with someone. As they do their activities, Screwball comes back to the room looking a bit cold and then sits on Sun's bed.

Aria look at Screwball from her book, and asks, "Anything?"

"No, not even a small clue. I feel like I let Sun down," Screwball says feeling guilty.

Adagio shows a sad smile and says, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll figure this out eventually. I just wish we know how Anon-A-Miss got dirt on everyone."

"How Sun doing?" Screwball asks.

"She's sleeping right now, and she can use it right about now for the week she's been having," Adagio answers.

"You're right," Screwball asks.

Sonata hold the cat as she join the others, and says, "But who is this Anon-A-Miss, and why would they want to make it look like Sun did it? It just doesn't make any since."

"As much as hate to agree with Sonata, but she's right. Why would someone go through the trouble to make Sun the obvious suspect?" Aria replies.

Adagio scratches her chin as she says, "That's something we need to figure out."

The girls are trying to put their heads together on the situation. They need to figure out who Anon-A-Miss name is, and clear Sun's name. There are some things, they need to figure out beside the who. They need to figure out how this person is about to know about the two sleepovers, and the nickname. They also need to figure out how this person is able to post everyone's secrets.

As they think about the situation, knocks on the door, and Sun's dad calls out, "Hey girls, are you in here?!"

"Yes dad," Screwball answers.

Discord opens the door to see how the others are doing. He can also see that Sun is fast asleep. Nina meows and escapes from Sonata's arms, and go join Sun on her bed, but laying down on her stomach.

Sonata smiles and says, "Aw, that's so cute."

"So how are young girls doing?" Discord asks.

"We're doing fine, but Sun's been having an awful week," Aria answers.

Discord sighs and says, "I know what you mean. Luckily Principal Celestia and Vice Principal agree with me when I told them someone is trying to frame her."

"Glad to see they are our side, unlike some people we know," Aria says with a serious look on her face.

Then Adagio says, "I know what you mean. Derpy and her friends, along with Flash, Vinyl, and Photo Finish and her two friends are among some who believes Sun isn't behind this."

"That's good, right?" Sonata asks.

But Aria sadly says, "Yeah, but practically everyone in the school thinks she did it, and they don't have any proof."

"I know, but as long as we stick out for Sun, and glad that the finals is over and we're out of school, I'm sure Sun will make it through this," Adagio explains.

The three girls, and even Discord agree with the statement. Sun needs some support if they're going to make it through these situation. After sometime, Sun manages to wake up, and able to have something to eat with the others. For the rest of the sleepover, the girls simply watch holidays movies like The Christmas Carol and other holiday movies. Then after that, everyone go to sleep for the night

After a long night of sleep, it's close to four to five a.m in the morning, and everyone are sleeping. For some odd reason, Sun has a urge to wake up from her slumber. She then start to feel her body tingling, and slowly start to glow. Not wanting to make up everyone, she decides to go to the restroom so she can hide and see what's going on. Just then, Sun glows a bright gold yellow glow, and she transform. After the transformation and the glow, Suns still has her pony ears, extended tail, and alicorn wings. Sun is so confused by this event, and want to know what's happening, that she goes back to her room, and contact Twilight. When she comes back to her room, she can see her book is vibrating.

Sun picks up to see the message Twilight leaves her and reads in her thoughts, "

"Dear Sun,

Something amazing has happened. As you know from the last few messages the map that appear in my castle can call my or any of my friends to fix a friendship problem, but this time is different. This time the map is calling me and all of my friends, including you. I need you to come to Equestria right way. I know it's very early, but it will be a good idea for you to come over as soon as possible. Our friendship problem will be at Canterlot, so we need to catch the first train there right away. Don't worry about you making a sudden appearance at Canterlot, my friend Rarity has a perfect disguise for you, but I also hope you take the opportunity to see your family again, but that's will be entirely up to you. I'll leave the book on the portal so you can come through when you get there.

Your friend,

Princess Twilight Sparkle.""

Sun is completely shocked about remember Twilight telling her about the map, but never expected to be called here, and this early in the morning. Sun starts to become worried because Sun has to go back to her old home in Equestria, at Canterlot. However, Sun knows that someday, she will need to comeback, and she wants to. It might be her only chance to understand the dream, and most importantly to see her family again after so long. Following her heart, Sun writes a note to everyone in the house, and leave her journal that is used to contact Twilight on her desk. And give each of her friends, sister, and her father their presents early since she doesn't know when she'll be back.

Sun:

There's a line where my mind meets my heart

And it calls me

But no one knows

How far it goes

Sun who is still in her pony form puts on her winter clothes on, and puts her special necklace. Sun the packs up the journals she uses to write about her dreams and time in this world. The coins, and gems she still has.

Sun:

All that time wondering where I need to see

Is behind me

I know I must go

To the world I've known

Sun is about to leave the house, but see Nina meowing. After seeing the look in her eyes, Nina wants to go, so Sun agrees. But packs another bag with some of Nina belonging, and anything she needs.

Sun

Every turn I take, every trail I track,

Is a choice I make

Now I must go back

Sun then have Nina stay inside of her backpack as she opens the door, and take her leave.

Sun:

From the I've known

Where I'm not alone

Where I long to see

Sun manages to get out of the house, and run pass a few houses as the harsh snow blows. Sun looks back to see the her house and sad to be leaving her family and friends behind. Just as the sun starts to rise, Sun knows the it's helping her gain the confidence, and uses her wings to fly over to the school.

Sun:

See the light up the sun in my heart

They call me

And yes, I know

That I can go

There's a moon in the sky

And my friends are behind me

And soon I'll know

How far I'll go

Sun is able to use her wings to make it to the school. She then lands and walks through the portal. Sun knows there is no turning back now. In Equestria the portal magic has been activates, and opens. Just then sun flies out of the portal, and is still wearing her winter clothes.

A familiar voice asks as the blurry figure comes over, "Sun, are you okay?"

Sun manages to get a clear view to see Twilight.

As Twilight helps Sun get up, Sun smiles and answers, "I'm fine."

But Twilight shows a sad look and says, "I'm sorry what's been going on. With the Anon-A-Miss problem, and your terrible dreams, I'm sorry you been feeling so much pain."

"It's okay, maybe it will be a good idea to get away from it,"Sun answers with a sad look on her face.

The two alicorns give each other a hug and are glad to see each other again.

Twilight start to head out of the room as she says, "Come on, Rarity wants you try on the outfit and then we can get going."

"Okay, and thanks," Sun says with a calm smile.

Sun feels a bit unconformably about this all this. She is able to come back to Equestria girls, but this time she'll be going to her home town. Even though Sun has her memories back and is still alive, but everypony else in Canterlot thinks she's gone forever. Sun wonder if this friendship problem can help her, and wonder who could have a problem at her home town. Sun then follows Twilight so she can get a disguise that will help her be discreet. She just hope things will go well back at her other home at CHS.
