Anon-A-Miss: Friendship is Home

by PonyJoel


Anon-A-Miss Rising Up! Friendships Torn Apart! Sunset's Downfall! The Findings of Scootaloo! Sunset's Desperation!

Right after Scootaloo left the library and the announcement of Scootaloo's presence, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle decided to spice things up with Anon-A-Miss. Sweetie Belle took out her laptop and saw new messages from other students who had dirt on others that wanted to share. After showing this to Apple Bloom, she was overjoyed with new ideas to post on MyStable. If they were getting their sisters back, they might as well serve justice for all the times Sunset Shimmer has tortured, blackmailed and ruined everyone in the school before her heroics came.

"Alright, Sweetie Belle, which one should we post first for Operation: Justice System?"

"Well, I have one right here about Flash Sentry."

Apple Bloom remembers that Flash used to date Sunset Shimmer so this has to be good. "Read what the message say Sweetie Belle."

"It says, Flash Sentry, more like Trash Sentry. Ever since he got dumped, all he received from any other girl is trash. Sucks to be Trash Sentry. I bet not even a trashy girl would date him!". Sweetie Belle thought it was harsh but Apple Bloom could only laugh.

"Ahahahahaha! This is golden, we have to post this Sweetie Belle."

Sweetie Belle was a bit unsure about it. Having to read out loud about a mean message didn't feel right with her. Apple Bloom reminded Sweetie Belle that this is a war between them and Sunset Shimmer. In order to win the war, there have to be sacrifices made. Apple Bloom ensured that everything will be alright.

"So Sweetie Belle, who sent that message?"

"3321LightSpeed," after taking a look at the profile, it's none other than Lightning Dust.

"Lightning Dust huh? Thank you for your services. Sweetie Belle, time to post one up."

Sweetie Belle went ahead and typed the message. Then adding a trash can picture, tagging Flash Sentry's name and finally posting it for everyone to see.

"Nice work Sweetie Belle," Apple Bloom said giving the thumbs up to Sweetie Belle.

"Thank you, Apple Bloom, for reminding me that once Anon-A-Miss starts, we will have to finish once Sunset becomes the most hated student in school. Then there will be no more redemptions and no more separations caused by her."

Both girls high five each other and searched throughout Anon-A-Miss messages and pick the ones they seem fitting, adding insult to injury.

10 minutes later, the time is now 12:30 and Sunset Shimmer just left her classroom after helping Ms. Cheerilee clean up the mess in her room caused by other students mishaps. Ms. Cheerliee is aware of the Anon-A-Miss situation but she has no clue who could it be. She's giving everyone the benefit of a doubt until there's enough evidence or reasoning to suspect someone for being Anon-A-Miss. Sunset Shimmer gave time to think about the whole Piggly Wiggly situation. She questioned who would do something like that to her friend Applejack. Who would be after her for the wrong reasons? Who could have attacked Applejack like that? The only people she could have thought of is the Sirens but she questioned that theory. How would they know about Piggly Wiggly? Sure they have been around for a long time since their banishment but still. It'd make no sense to her whatsoever. It was at that moment, she saw her friends coming up to her. Sunset ran to talk to her but the expressions on her friend's faces said otherwise.

"Hey girls, are you alright?" Sunset questioned.

Applejack had a stern look, "Sunset, do you, have you lost your phone recently?"

Sunset raised an eyebrow for that question but reluctantly answered, "No," she said as she pulled out her phone, "it's right here why?"

Applejack was pissed but like Apple Bloom had told her, there can only be one person who could have known your secrets. A family doesn't do that unless they have a purpose to why they would do such a thing. Remembering the apple family story, Applejack grabbed her phone. "Then you need to see this!" She gave Sunset her phone to see Anon-A-Miss newer post. Sunset saw and her heart stopped beating for a few moments.

Seeing Anon-A-Miss post as it read, "OMG...What a bunch of dorks! Hahaha". It also features the selfies that Sunset took last night with the clothing from the Closet of Shame.

"What?! How did she get our pictures!?" Sunset questioned and turning to her friends only to see glares and disgusted faces.

"They're not our pictures, there your Sunset. All those pictures were taken by you."

Sunset began to panic. She couldn't believe what she was hearing and what she was seeing. It had to be a dream. It just has to be.

"Wait, but I've had my phone with me all this time! How did she...," being cut off by Applejack.

"Yea, how did she? How did she know about my nickname? How did she get the pictures from your phone? It was you all along. You're Anon-A-Miss!"

Sunset Shimmer was stunned. She couldn't bring herself to react to Applejack. Her friend just accused her of doing something she would never commit. Tears started to come out of her eyes.

"We trusted you Sunset! We thought you were our friend!" Rainbow said.

"How could you do this? After all, we've been through together? After I made that wonderful outfit for you, I can't believe you were using my generosity." Rarity said as she was quieted down.

In an instant, Sunset was not willing to give up on her friends despite what they told her.

"No, wait, you guys. I didn't do this! I could never hurt any of you!" Sunset said while trying to defend herself.

"But you did!" Pinkie shouted. "You've must....just been pretending to be our friend, when all along you just after our secrets...You...You Secret Stealer!"

Sunset couldn't take it. She has just been accused of Anon-A-Miss and Pinkie Pie just called her a secret stealer. Adding insult to injury. Sunset tried once more to reason but was caught off guard by the stares of her friends. It's mesmerizing, to say the least. Silence reign for a brief second.

"No....NO! I don't know how she got this stuff but, it wasn't me. I'm not this person." Sunset on the verge of tears. She couldn't control them no matter how much she wanted to. She's tearing down with a heartache that is far more worse than the time she was defeated as a raging she-demon.

Fluttershy having the courage to speak her mind, she started shouting.

"No, you're not! You're not who we thought! You're not our friend!" After hearing what Fluttershy just said, Sunset continued to defend herself slow,

"No, I....", lost for words, "I am. I promise."

It's all she can say while looking into the eyes of Fluttershy.

"This is it, Sunset. You're not going to take advantage of us anymore. I'm sorry, but you did this to us. Tell whatever secrets you want but we don't have to listen."

Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash left as Sunset Shimmer cried on her knees in the hallway. Other students that were able to see Sunset applauded for Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash for shutting up the demon.

It is now 12:45. Sunset was still crying on the floor. Holding herself together as the remaining students that didn't go to the cafeteria were taking pictures to remember. There are those who still don't forgive Sunset for the years of exposure, blackmailing and bullying. Sunset couldn't move. Her friends just dumped her. Right in front of her after trying to defend herself. Sunset pulled herself up and went to the bathroom to clean herself up. As she came in, Trixie slapped Sunset in the face as hard as she could.

"Thanks a lot, Anon-A-Bitch! Now the whole school is laughing at me for a screw up I did at a child's birthday party. I hope your happy Sunshit Shimmer!" Trixie opened the door and slammed it hard. Laughter can be heard outside of the hallway.

"Hey look, it's Trixie Pixie. Hey Trixie! Had fun getting out of the doghouse with your disappearance?"

Sunset could only imagine the humiliation that Trixie is going through and who else has to suffer at the hands of Anon-A-Miss. Sunset went to the sink to wash her face. After she wiped herself, she needed to talk to her friends again after school.

As the day went on with many new posts from Anon-A-Miss, students laughing at each other, friends breaking up due to their secrets being shown. Rainbow Dash's score on a test came up, an epic fail of Fluttershy singing skyrocketed, Rarity's fashion statement. Even Pinkie Pie's clown endorsement came upon Anon-A-Miss MyStable account. Hell came to Canterlot and all eyes were pointing at Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer is the only student in Canterlot High who could have known everyone's deepest darkest secret when she was the Queen of the school before her downfall at the Fall Formal. Sunset Shimmer is the only suspect at the school and so far, she has been neglected by everyone. Teachers are now considering Sunset Shimmer to be the prime target for Anon-A-Miss. Even Ms. Cheerliee. She started to theorize and for what her students been telling her about the years of abusement that Sunset gave throughout the school. From a benefit of a doubt to a no-brainer, Ms. Cheerlie believes that Sunset is the culprit. The school bell rang and all classes are dismissed for the day. Sunset Shimmer went to her locker, packed up everything she needs including her journal. She decided to head home and report to Twilight about everything about Anon-A-Miss and the situation at hand/hoof.

Everyone was heading home all except for Rainbow Dash who couldn't find Scootaloo. She went to Principal Celestia's office to see if she can announce Scootaloo to come to the office. Rainbow Dash knocked on the door.

"Door is open, come in," Celestia said as she was getting ready to leave. She had spare time to talk to her student or fellow teacher.

Rainbow walked in, "Hey Celestia, can you call in Scootaloo? I want to walk her back home."

Celestia sighed a little. "Oh, Scootaloo is already home. Her mom came to pick her up."

"Oh, well what happened to Scootalo then?"

As calm as Celestia can be, it'll be difficult to explain the situation to Rainbow Dash especially with her quickness in her emotions.

"Scootaloo went home early because of her father Sergeant Speedy Bullet death last night." Rainbow Dash felt tears coming out of her eyes a little. She couldn't believe that Scootaloo's dad just passed away. She now understands why Scootaloo left early then questions,

"What's gonna happen to her now?".

Celestia gave Rainbow Dash some tissues to use. Rainbow Dash dried her eyes a little then allowed Celestia to speak.

"I've told Scootaloo to take the rest of the week off. There will be time for her to mourn. I don't want her to have emotional breakdowns in the school especially Anon-A-Miss rising out of control."

"Yea, about this whole Anon-A-Miss thing, I know who's behind it and I think you should know as well," Rainbow said.

"Oh, who is Anon-A-Miss then Rainbow Dash?" Celestia questioned.

"It's none other than Sunset Shimmer and I have proof it was her as well." She took out her phone and scrolled to Anon-A-Miss newer posting. It was the pictures of all but Sunset Shimmer in ridiculous outfits posing and having fun. Celestia took a hold on Rainbow's phone and scrolled to see all the other postings as well to clarify.

"You truly believe that Sunset Shimmer is behind all of this?" Celestia once again questions but now terrified than calm.

"Yes. Those pictures of my friends only came from Sunset Shimmer's phone. No one could have gotten to it especially when all of us were sleeping in the same room." Celestia had a puzzled look on Rainbow's statement.

"Look it was a slumber party ok?"

After a full examination of the Anon-A-Miss MyStable page, Celestia sighed and handed Rainbow her phone.

"Go home Rainbow. There will be a lot of discussions about this during the winter break. I want you and your friends to not interact with Sunset Shimmer on school grounds. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am" Rainbow responded. She left her office and Celestia texted Luna to talk about Anon-A-Miss at home later in the night.

After a few moments, Rainbow Dash calls Scootaloo to see if she wanted to come with her to the slumber party at her house tonight. Scootaloo picked up the phone but gave it to her mother.

"This is Ember Light, Scootaloo's mother. Who is this?"

"Oh hey Ms. Light, I was wondering if Scootaloo would like to come over to my house tonight for a slumber party that I'm having. Can she come."

Ember Light took a good look at her daughter. Seeing the pain she endured. Seeing the misery she's dealing with, she decided that Scootaloo needed some time away from the heavy burden.

"Yea, she can come tonight. I'll have everything packed for her. Are you picking her up or do I have to drop her off?"

Rainbow became happy to know that Scootaloo will be joining her slumber party tonight.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to pick her up. It's no problem."

Ember Light sighs happily a little knowing that her daughter would have a fun time and not have the heartache she's going through right now.

"What time are you coming over?"

"At 6:30 sharp! I'll be there." Rainbow Dash hangs up the phone and jumps in the air doing a fist pump to excite her.

Scootaloo felt a tear of happiness coming out of her eye knowing that Rainbow will be coming for her but for the deal, she made with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle may be difficult to handle but hey, at least she has Rainbow Dash now so things should be easing up for her. Scootaloo hugged her mom and went to her room. She didn't even bother looking on her computer to see if Anon-A-Miss did her job or not. She is starting to feel the joy that things were getting a bit better slowly. She's hoping for a fun night and to start things new knowing that Rainbow Dash will be watching over her now that her father rests in peace.

It is now 4:15 in the afternoon, Sunset is at home writing everything she can to Twilight. Anon-A-Miss, her friends, the feeling of being abandoned. She wrote how she got slapped by Trixie, the glares from other students and her friends, the way friendships were being torn apart, the way other students were taking pictures of her crying on the floor while being laughed at. Sunset wrote everything she can and waited desperately for Twilight to respond back but there was still no answer. The feeling of being alone was too much for Sunset Shimmer. She cried and cried about what her friends said to her. She cried what seemed like hours but it was minutes.

45 minutes later, Sunset Shimmer stopped crying. She thought of the possibilities of who could it actually be. It came clear to her and who would have done it. It was the CMC who done it. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Rage filled up inside of her as she questions,

"How dare they?.....How dare they do this to me?! I have done nothing wrong to them!" she screamed. "I've done nothing but good intentions, I saved them from the Sirens! Now it's time to expose them now that I know who else would have done it." She said as she got her things ready. She grabbed her journal as proof that Twilight Sparkle was also informed about Anon-A-Miss, the slumber parties and everything else that has happened. She grabbed her keys and locked her door. The first place to check was at Sugarcube Corner to see if her friends are there.

It is now 5:15 at Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were sitting together while having their smoothie. Silence reigned. They couldn't believe that Sunset Shimmer is behind Anon-A-Miss. What a mistake to call her a friend. All those postings from the Anon-A-Miss MyStable page, the sheer shame that they went through. Sunset gave them hell. Sunset Shimmer came in the store. Happy she was to see her friends but remembered that they dumped her back in school. With all sorts of emotions riding up inside, Sunset took a step forward inside and her friends could only stare and glare at her.

Sunset Shimmer breaks the silence, "I know that you guys don't want to see me right now but I have something to tell you. I figured out who Anon-A-Miss really is and please before you can cut me off, just hear what I have to say."

"Get out Sunset Shimmer!" Rainbow yelled.

"Yea! You're not welcome here!" Applejack stated.

This was the response that Sunset was expecting but she went forth with telling her side of the story.

"I know who is Anon-A-Miss and it came pretty clear. I know you can think of me because of my sins in the past but you should all know that I am a change pon-person. I helped other students in class when they are struggling, I've been understanding and supportive towards you guys. For crying out loud, I helped you girls and Twilight to defeat the Sirens. Why would I toss that all away? Explain that to me!"

"Easy," Rainbow said, "Manipulation of course."

Sunset was caught off guard by hearing that.

"When you cried your eyes back at the Fall Formal, it was obvious that you wanted to gain our trust. That you wanted to start a new with us. Getting closer than you could have ever done. Twilight told us to watch you for friendship. Now we know she meant to say is watch out for the demon inside of you and let's face it, the demon been unleashed. Starting with the first post by Anon-A-Miss with Piggly Wiggly. You Sunset Shimmer are by far the worst friend I ever had in my life, I wish I'd never met you."

Tears streaming from Sunset's eyes as she heard what Rainbow Dash said. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie just looked away. Not wanting to see any more of this.

"So for you're own sakes Sunset Shimmer, leave and never come back." Applejack said as calm as she could be.

Sunset didn't want to leave. She was not going to give up that easy.

Without hesitation, she shouted, "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are Anon-A-Miss!".

Sunset pants after shouting like that. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were infuriated. As for Rarity, she got up from her chair and slapped Sunset Shimmer in the face. The slap was so loud everyone in the shop can hear it.

"How dare you accuse my sister of crimes she did not commit?!"

Sunset got punched in the face by Applejack. The impact of the punch knocked Sunset to the floor.

"How dare you accusing my sister of crimes she did not commit?!"

Sunset got kicked in the stomach by Rainbow Dash. Sunset could only cough after the kick.

"How dare you accuse Scootaloo of crimes she did not commit especially when she wasn't in for the rest of the day?!" Rainbow shouted.

Sunset was quite surprised when Rainbow said that but the emotional pain was too much and the physical pain was unbearable. Each of her friends just attacked her for finding out who really is Anon-A-Miss. No more words can be spoken for Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity. Sunset Shimmer got up and hobbled a little. She then reaches into her bag for the journal.

After a few moments of stabilizing herself, she spoke, "I've been telling Twilight Sparkle about this. She knows that I would not do this." She knows that Twilight has not responded back to her but for her friends, they trusted Twilight so maybe they can have a better understanding of the situation hopefully but Rainbow took the journal and threw it at Sunset hitting her in the face. She fell back and it was the last straw.

"We don't care! We know that you're trying to manipulate Twilight into thinking that you're the victim in all of this when it is you who created Anon-A-Miss. Please for the love that is all holy, Get the HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!" Rainbow shouted.

"Yea, you traitor!" Rarity said.

"Liar!," Applejack said.

"Secret Stealer," Pinkie Pie said.

"Demon," Rainbow said.

"You are not our friend!" Fluttershy said.

Sunset Shimmer has now tasted defeat. There was nothing she can do. Her friends were already on the offensive approach. She could only do one thing and it is to RUN. Run as far as she can before she can get physically hurt. She picked up her stuff, her journal and ran to the safety of her apartment and barricade the doors shut. She was not going to come out after what has happened.

Silence reigned in Sugarcube Corner. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash finally felt a bit happy knowing that Sunset Shimmer is gone. Out of their lives and hopefully as Anon-A-Miss rises that things could get a little better between them. As for Sunset Shimmer, she's on her bed crying her eyes out once more. Waiting for Twilight to answer. Waiting for a solution to pop up and save her friendship. Anything good is what she's hoping for.

It is now 6:15 and Rainbow Dash is on her way to pick up Scootaloo.
