Chrysalis has put all the Students of Canterlot High into 3 different sections of the school. Pharynx would be talking to the students that were guilty of aiding Anon-A-Miss with dirt to expose to the cafeteria. Thorax would take those who were innocent enough to have a long talk in the library and Chrysalis took The Rainbooms, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom to the teacher lounge. The teachers will be cleaning up the gymnasium and will remain there until Celestia and Luna give them the signal to leave.
Pharynx had to deal with are Lightning Dust, Gilda, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Trixie, Garble, Rover, Fido, and Spot along with the rest of the school's troublemaking students that are qualified. There are a lot of troublemakers in the area so Pharynx has the rest of the Cybernetic Task Force standing by in case a riot were to happen.
"Alright, listen up! You are here because of the stupid shit you caused in your school screwing everyone up with secrets. Secrets that are not meant for the public hearing. Secrets that are supposed to remain hidden. You like to cause or stir up trouble then you'll be sent someplace where it is contained. I'm talking about jail. You should all feel ashamed for the humiliation you put others through. You may not be the ones who posted on Anon-A-Miss but gave Anon-A-Miss the info to do so. That makes you an associate. Not good when freedom is on the line. You are playing a deadly game. An internet warfare. Cyberbullying is a serious crime within our nation. Anon-A-Miss is a perfect example of Cyberbullying. What you have done can get you locked up. If it was up to me, I will put you all in juvenile hall but Chrysalis figured that the youth should know what is right and what is wrong so that way you idiots don't make the same mistake twice. This is your only warning. Take it like your life is depending on it. If I see all of you again. I will not be happy. You will feel nothing but pain and shame because if I do see you, you'll be behind bars depending on what the Judge's verdict. I hope you understand that this is not a game." Pharynx said in a calm but stern tone.
The students in the room were quiet but Diamond Tiara knows that her daddy can bail her out of jail no matter how much the money gonna cost so she is thinking of revenge against Scootaloo for getting a lighter punishment. Diamond Tiara feels she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Sure she said tons of insults but she had anything to do with Anon-A-Miss.
"Excuse me," Diamond Tiara said, "why am I here. I had nothing to do with Anon-A-Miss or even associating with her!"
"You're here because you seem fitting as a troublemaker. According to some teachers of yours and picked up the surveillance cameras in your school. I found evidence of you teasing other students for being rich, being a bully and laughing at other people's misery. That is why you are worthy enough of being a bully. That is why your here to learn. That is why I'm telling you this life lesson. Guilty or not, everyone still needs to hear it." Pharynx said, answering Diamond Tiara's question.
"Fine then." Diamond Tiara said crossing her arms and looking the other way.
"As for the rest of you, do not make another mistake out of rage and hatred. If you do then it'll be the end of all of you. You may go to your next class but I hope to never see any of you again." As Pharynx said that, the others left the cafeteria. Not feeling any guilt at all.
"I finish my task, my Queen. I'll see you later." Pharynx said as he and the rest of the Cybernetic Task Force were last to leave the cafeteria.
"Before you can leave, that student who shouted earlier in the gymnasium, take him home to his father. I'm giving you the address to go." Chrysalis said while texting the address to the student's home.
"Yes, ma'am!" Pharynx said heading down to the detention hall to take the student home.
Thorax is now at the library. Octavia, Lyra, Vinyl, Bon Bon, Snowflake, Flash Sentry, Derpy, Snips, Snails, Micro, Sandalwood, Cloud Chaser, Flitter and Gizmo along with the rest of the students that were innocent in all the drama caused by Anon-A-Miss.
"Alright everyone, reason, why all of you are with me, is because I have a message to tell all of you about Cyberbullying and how we as a society can not only conquer it but help one another in times of trouble. Starting with the blame game situation. If you know someone who can cause a lot of pain but is a changed person, it is not wise to assume that person of the cause. Never assume because you make an ass of yourself. For you to make a judgment call, you need to hear on both sides of the story, not just one. Otherwise, the justice system would be corrupted and there will never be any fairness. If you know a person who does a lot of wrongs but trying to make a right, that person is innocent until proven guilty. If you know someone who does a lot of good but does something bad, that person is also innocent until proven guilty. Can't just make the call immediately. It takes time to find all the evidence just like it took us time to find the culprits. Mistakes can happen to everyone but it is not wise to jump the boat and call them out of the flaws of that mistake. I make mistakes but instead of laughing or judging me, its either I correct myself or others helping me to correct myself. That is how a level of trust can be made. If you know someone that can be the cause it is ok to be suspicious but not ok to be the law. Now the second thing I want to say is Cyberbullying is a serious cause of an effect. Online there is no stopping anyone from doing what they want. Anyone in this room who has access to the internet can put or say anything to hurt someone really bad. Due to actions like that, there has been an uprising of suicides. Students, friends, kids, adults, parents can all be a victim of suicide. This is why cyberbullying is bad. Cyberbullying is taking things to the next level. Anon-A-Miss has taken things beyond the level. Anon-A-Miss posted a lot of harmful stuff that is hurting a lot of students. Others who think it's funny will mock the person for having his/her secret out for fun. That can cause a lot of trauma mentally. The post could be about anything that'll hurt someone so when you see someone teasing due to a post and knowing that it is cyberbullying. Help that person who is in need. You can be the hero he/she need at the moment. Saving a life from cyberbullying is a great cause. I encourage any of you who has a kind-hearted caring spirit to lift that person up from a deep dark depression he/she may be going through. Third, I encourage all of you to make a new group. A Guild that fights against cyberbullying and help those who are affected by it. I encourage all of you to make a stand and be the heroes who can put an end to hate and corruption in your school. Start bringing in the love you have and spread it all around. To make your school into a sanctuary of peace, love, and kindness. No hate, no corruption, no lies and no spilling secrets. The last thing I want to say is, I do appreciate you all who stayed out of Anon-A-Miss and do appreciate that you didn't feed Anon-A-Miss with secrets or dirt that can cause more problems. You may go to your next class but I want to see you guys and girls creating the guild and post it on the school's network so I know for sure that you've taken my words of advice." Thorax said finishing his message.
The students in the library talked among themselves. Taking everything that Thorax said. After a few moments, they all finished speaking and turned to Thorax.
"Thank you for the words of advice and the life lesson we needed to hear. So we as a unit could spread the joy, love, peace, and trust within our school. Taking the next steps forward into rebuilding the trust level within our school. Making our school a better place to go for making friends and having a good education. Our school's reputation is now on the line after Anon-A-Miss risen up and had its downfall." Lyra said smiling as everyone else did.
"Thank you for telling me this," Thorax said, thanking Lyra to be the voice of the group.
"We even came up with our Guild's name." Bon Bon said.
"Please tell me your Guild's name," Thorax said excitedly.
"Our Guild's name is known as The Changelings!" Everyone shouted.
"Wow! I...no..wait!" He turned on his communicator to Chrysalis. "Chrysalis, the students here have something for you to hear. Something important and I think you should hear it."
"What is it Thorax?" Chrysalis said in her communicator.
"Hi Queen Chrysalis, my name is Lyra Heartstrings. Thorax told us his message and he also told us that we should start a guild to fight back against Cyberbullying. After a few moments of discussions, my friends and I agree on making a Guild. To bring the love, joy peace and trust back into our school now that Anon-A-Miss is down for good. We have the perfect name for our Guild." Lyra said. Letting everyone in the room know that they all need to say the name.
"Please, tell me what's your Guild's name," Chrysalis said, wondering what name the guild will be called.
"Our Guild's name will be known as The Changelings!" Everyone shouted.
"What a fantastic name for a Guild," Chrysalis said with a smile on her face.
"We are dedicating your team's name to our own. We feel inspired by what you and your squad can do. We feel that we can change the pace out here. We can change the scenery at our school. Eliminating the hate. Stopping Cyberbullying within our school so that way no one will be affected by the devastation now that Anon-A-Miss had fallen." Lyra said.
"You students have a bright future and I do hope that your mission as a Guild shall succeed. Anyways I have to go but good job making the first step going forward on a positive note! Thorax, I'll see you later after I deal with my group here in the teacher's lounge." Chrysalis said ending the communication call.
"Alright everyone, I wish all of you luck and if you ever need me for advice, All you have to do is send Luna a message and I'll be here to help you. She has my contact info so don't be afraid to ask her for me. I'll be happy to assist you and your quest for peace, love, joy, and happiness." Thorax said, saluting to everyone. "You can all leave."
The students in the library left and headed to their next class. Thorax packed his things and left the school. Chrysalis is now in the teacher's lounge waiting for someone to break the ice. Patience is not one of her best skills but she was willing to allow everyone in the room to have their silence after everything had been taken in from the gymnasium. Finally, Applejack broke the ice.
"Why...Why didn't you...Apple Bloom told me about how you were feeling...? Why did you do it? You know the consequences. I know what you said out there wasn't true," Applejack said as she is denying mostly everything her sister spoke in the gymnasium a while back ago. "So please tell me...tell your big sis right now why you created Anon-A-Miss now that your anger is gone."
"Applejack, what I said out there is nothing but the truth. Why would you care then and why would you care now?" Apple Bloom stated. Not facing her sister.
"I do care about you sugarcube. You are my sister and it's up to me to make sure that you were happy." Applejack said with a little of sincerity in her expression.
"Did I look happy to you when you kept on hanging with Sunset Shimmer and your friends while you were ignoring me. I've never questioned you for hanging out but I questioned why I can never hang out with you or you with them. Twilight made Sunset a priority to you while leaving family behind in the dust. When was the last time you even helped Big Mac or Granny Smith back at the farm?"
"I..uh..." trying to remember the last time she did so. "I helped Granny Smith baked her apple pies and Big Mac with the apple picking and I..." she was cut off by Apple Bloom.
"I said when?!" Apple Bloom basically yelling at her big sister.
Applejack could only sigh. She, like her friends, was spending a lot of their time with Sunset Shimmer after school hours and during the weekend. She can't remember the exact date that she helped her family. This gave Applejack a cold heart feeling deep inside. She now sees her sister's point.
"That is what I thought. Now Chrysalis, I'm more than ready for you to take me to juvenile hall." Apple Bloom said holding her hands out ready to be handcuffed and taken away.
"You are not going anywhere, Apple Bloom. Not until all of this is over. Sweetie Belle, Rarity, you have anything to say to each other?" Chrysalis asked.
"Nope." Sweetie Belle stated. "I already made my point out there. Rarity is no sister of mine anymore. I'll take on whatever punishments I take in juvenile hall. Away from Rarity and away from my family. The sooner the better." No more words are spoken from Sweetie Belle. She is ready to go as well.
"Sweetie Belle! Please! I'm sorry for what I've done to you from the other night! I'm sorry for ignoring your cries for attention! I'm sorry for everything that I put you through! I'm so sorry that I pushed you in the wrong direction..." Rarity, in the verge of tears holding to her beloved sister. Sweetie Belle could feel the guilt that she put Rarity through but it didn't matter. She did her part with Anon-A-Miss. She knows that a second chance won't come. Willingly, she accepted her fate for putting Rarity in hell. The same kind of hell that she was in for weeks without her sister.
"All I can say is sorry for the trouble I gave you. I should have just kept my emotions in and...kill myself. Saving the trouble of being alone so you can be with your friends..." Sweetie Belle said, tears streaming down her face as she turned away from Rarity.
"Don't ever say that Sweetie Belle! Don't ever think like that!" Rarity still crying while hugging her sister. "Killing yourself doesn't solve anything!"
"It would have done me a whole lot so that way there was nothing on your mind. Nothing that can stop in your way from hanging out with your friends. Making myself obsolete. Back then if I couldn't have you in my life because someone was there to take you away from me brought nothing but darkness. I listened to my dark thoughts and now look. I made things worse for you...I made it worse for me. I should have ended myself right there and then when the darkness came." Sweetie Belle said, her tone went dark and her tears came pouring out of her eyes. She then turned to Rarity. "I'm sorry for not being the sister you want me to be. It is better off that I was to go away and never come back. So I can never be a problem or a burden to you." Finishing her statement and tried to walk out of Rarity's hug but couldn't. She doesn't deserve her love anymore. She doesn't deserve a second chance. Only to be taken away and to be forgotten.
"Sweetie Belle look at me!" Rarity shouted but Sweetie Belle doesn't. Rarity made Sweetie Belle turned around so she can see her eyes. "I am so sorry for making you walk in this direction. I'm sorry for being blind and stupid. I'm sorry for making you go through with this kind of pain. There is no excuse for how I was handling things with you especially that slumber party you helped out in. I basically kicked you out and made you turn to Anon-A-Miss. I'm wrong for the things I've done and it's my fault that you did what you've done. I take all of the blame here. Please know that you are my sister. Please know that I love you. Please know that I will fight for your freedom." Rarity said assuring her beloved sister.
"Apple Bloom...I'm sorry for being a bad sister. I'm sorry for the path you ended up walking through. A dangerous once with no point of return. Please allow me to have a second chance to make things right..." Apple Bloom didn't say anything.
All eyes turned to Chrysalis as she was about to speak.
"For serious crimes that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle have committed, I am enforced to do my duty and arrest them but with the power I have vested in me, I'm letting them go with a warning."
Everyone in the room was surprised when Chrysalis said that.
"Before you start to question why I'm letting them go with a warning is because I heard everything that was needed to be heard. Both sides of the story to see the reasoning behind the creation of Anon-A-Miss. As for you Rainbow Dash, I know that you and Scootaloo do share a sisterly bond even though you are not related to her by any means. Scootaloo told me that you basically stopped hanging out with her and escorting her home after school because her mom isn't available to pick her up and the bus doesn't take her home. It goes in the opposite direction of where she needs to go. She only joined in to get you back because she was depressed about her dad before he died. You and her will have time to talk with me in my room downtown of Canterlot."
Rainbow Dash remained silent. She couldn't believe that Scootaloo never went up to her and tell her about how she was feeling or that she did and she just ignored her. Her mind is in all places. She just couldn't think straight.
"Now, I won't be telling anyone about the magic nonsense that happens here. Unlike some of you, I can keep secrets quiet. Never to allow them to be exposed. Also, I have this to say." All eyes still looking at her.
"First of, you should never assume someone you know to be a prime suspect because of a darker history. Always be there for someone who is in need so that way he or she doesn't go through a dark path so they can get something out of it. Second always watch out for each other, never know what is going on until it's too late. Third, a family should be having fun with other families to grow together and become stronger. Last, don't EVER make this mistake again. If you do then I'll have the privilege to take you away for good. Do I make myself clear!" Chrysalis shouted making a point.
Rarity and Applejack nodded in agreement while holding on to their sisters. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash nodded as well not breaking any eye contact on Chrysalis.
"Good. You may go now but you will face punishment. All of you after your winter break so go!"
Everyone left. Rarity and Sweetie Belle went into a different room, holding and hugging each other as they embraced the second chance given to them by Chrysalis. Applejack and Apple Bloom went to another room but Apple Bloom kept her distance away. Applejack can only sigh but feel enraged by allowing everything her sister had said and done. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy went to their next class but they were the quiet the entire time. Rainbow Dash kicked a trash can down the hallway and kept on kicking it.
"This is Chrysalis calling in, I am enforcing a stakeout at this school for the remainder of the week. To see if anything else were to happen."
"Yes, my Queen!" Her Task Force shouted.
"Good, also let's get some pizza, I'm quite hungry after a whole lot of yelling, shouting and discipline." She said as she walked out of the teacher's lounge.
Windy Whistles is now driving Scootaloo back to her home to be with her mom in mourning. They were going to see Speedy Bullets at the funeral home today. Scootaloo is happy that she got to see and have fun with her friends last night but now have to prepare herself mentally to see her father.
A few hours later, school finished early after all that has happened today. Anon-A-Miss being caught, everyone receiving life lessons, Chrysalis scaring the crap out of everyone, getting second chances and new changes that are happening to everyone. Diamond Tiara, however, was feeling vengeful. She along with other students came and have a meeting of their own.
"I think we should plan an attack to get back at Scootaloo. She's getting a lighter punishment while we have to deal with a bigger one. I say we should do something about it." Diamond Tiara said.
"Yea, that bitch owe us money," Gilda said.
"She's due for another beating for missing out for today's beating." Lightning Dust stated popping her knuckled.
"So what you have in mind Tiara?" Rover, leader of the Diamond Hunt Brothers.
"I think we should torch Scootaloo's house while she and her mom are away."
Everyone paused. Shocked to hear what Tiara just said.
"Now the reason why I say this because I know daddy will be able to bail all of us out of jail. We can get away with it and I'll have a team to burn up all the files about us being arsonists."
The group discussed among themselves. Questioning all the possibilities but seeing how Scootaloo got a light punishment, not getting paid and being the only one who didn't get scared by Chrysalis or handcuffed. They agreed on the plan.
"We're in." Everyone said.
"Good, let's get started. By the time night comes, they'll have a nice fall." Diamond Tiara laughed devilishly as the others did as well.
At that moment of time, Scootaloo and Ember Light are still at the funeral home. Ember Light told Scootaloo she can stay as long as she liked. She has to get ready for a night shift at her job. Scootaloo kissed her mom goodbye as she stays with her father. Alone in silence.
2 hours later Ember Light is home taking a nice hot shower while Diamond Tiara, Rover, Fido, Spot, Gilda, Lightning Dust came to the house. They have homemade molotovs. Each of them looked both ways to see if anyone was watching. There is nobody in sight. Not even from the windows from all the other houses around them. Little did they know that there were cameras and the Cybernetic Task Force having a stakeout at Canterlot High to watch for any suspicions that may happen with the students.
It was moment's later that Pharynx saw something on the street that Scootaloo lived on that he saw something out of the ordinary as he was checking every camera in a 50-mile radius.
"What the hell?" He questioned. Seeing what the students were doing until he saw what he couldn't believe. Each of the students throwing molotovs at what seems to be Scootaloo's house. He called in Chrysalis immediately.
"My Queen! We have a top-notch emergency!" He shouted.
"I'm all ears what is happening Pharynx?" Chrysalis said, readying herself for anything.
"On 10th Avenue and Pheonix Street, we have a couple of arsonists trying to burn down Scootaloo's house!" he shouted.
"What?!" Chrysalis shouted. "Send a message to the police! To the Fire Department! I'm going after those arsonists right now!" She shouted as she jumped out of the 2nd-floor window, landing on a tree and jumping into her car. "How long till everyone arrives?!" She questioned.
"Police and Fire Department will be there in 15 minutes over." Pharynx said.
"Send a message to Celestia and Luna pronto!" Chrysalis commanded as she drove off with her sirens going off.
"Will do my Queen." He is now sending a message to both Celestia and Luna. Then we went back to his computer and to see if he can identify the arsonist.
"Thorax I want you to drive to the funeral home where Scootaloo and Ember Light might be at. I pray that they're alright." Chrysalis commanded.
"Yes my Queen, I'm on it!" Thorax said, getting into his car and driving off. "Pharynx what's the location of the funeral home?"
"15th Avenue and Arcadios Street Thorax." Pharynx said.
"Thank you, brother. I'll let you know who I find." Thorax said as he was sweating a little. "Who would do such a thing?"
Moments before Pharynx saw the group on the camera, Diamond Tiara had a few words to say.
"Alright everyone, take your positions now and get ready to bail once the house is scorched."
Everyone nodded and went to different areas around the house. The camera that Pharynx saw through has the entire house on the screen including the group.
"Now!" Diamond Tiara shouted.
Everyone threw the molotovs at the house. As the molotov exploded, the fire spread throughout the house. Unknowingly to Ember Light, she is still taking her shower. To calm herself down and preparing herself for work, long showers seems to do the job right.
"Now everyone! Go find a hiding spot that is far from here but visible to see!" Diamond Tiara shouted.
Everyone ran in different directions. Away from the house so no one can see them and for what they committed.
The fire alarms went off in the house as Ember Light heard it go off. She got out of the shower, dried herself and opened the door. Smoke came into her lungs as she started to cough. She closed the door and soon realized that her house is on fire. She panicked. She opened the window and screamed for help. No one was in the area to hear here. She screamed one more time. Silence remained. She decided to make her way out of the bathroom and headed out the door downstairs hoping to make it. When she opened the door, smoke clogging her lungs a little but with determination, she went through. She couldn't see a thing with the smoke in her eyes and the heat of the fire is making her sweat go into her eyes. She felt something hit her leg and she tripped over. It was a chair that she tripped on. As she made it towards the stairs, Ember Light had a miss footing causing herself to fall down the stairs breaking her left ankle. She screamed in pain but was able to breathe a little better. The fire is spreading out of control. Ember Light is 2 rooms away from the door. She crawled towards the door but now the second floor started to collapse. The bathtub fell and landed on Emer Light's other foot pinning her to the floor. She screamed in pain and agony. She screamed for help. Sirens can be heard. She was going to be saved until the smoke of the fire got into her lungs once more. Coughing out of control. She didn't want to die. She didn't want Scootaloo to become an orphan. With one last attempt, she screamed loud enough. The firefighters burst through the door. Made they're way to Ember Light. Lifting the tub and took her outside. They left the house as the fire was spreading out of control. Other firefighters put out the fire as police arrived.
"Check to see if there's anyone else inside the house, " the Fire Chief commanded.
"Yes, sir!" The firefighters shouted. Going back into the fire.
As they went in, Medics arrived and checked on Ember Light.
A few moments later, Chrysalis showed up and got out of her car. She ran towards the Fire Chief.
"Sharp Shooter, was there anyone here at the house?" Chrysalis asked. Worried that she may fear for the worst.
"Yes," he stated. "A woman was caught in the fire of this home. Medics are checking on her right now."
"Thank you Sharp Shooter," Chrysalis said, she ran towards the ambulance to see Ember Light. Redheart came out of the ambulance to have a word with Chrysalis.
"I'm sorry Chrysalis...Ember Light is gone now. There is nothing more we can do for her..." Redheart said wiping a tear from her face.
"No....No...NO...NO!" Chrysalis shouted falling to her knees and slamming her fists down hard on the ground. "They'll pay.....those arsonists will burn in hell!"
"I agree with you on that." Shining Armor said.
"Hello, Shining," Chrysalis said as she got up. "How's being in command of the Canterlot National Guard going?"
"It's going well. We were on patrol when we received a transmission from Pharynx. We thought it'd be best to see what was the commotion all about. I wish we were on better grounds to discuss this than on a scene like this." Shining said.
It was at this moment of time, Pharynx called in after finding out who are the arsonists.
"My Queen, I've found out the group who is responsible for such a tragedy like this. Also, I do believe that the school needs to here another life lesson about arsonists."
"The school? Who are the students then?" She questioned.
"Gilda, Lightning Dust, Rover, Spot, Fido, and Diamond Tiara my Queen." Pharynx said. I've sent the message to Celestia and Luna but received no word from them.
Shining Armor and Chrysalis were mad. They heard Pharynx said the student's name. Shining Armor and Chrysalis both want to lock them up for what they committed. They committed murder. They burned down a house with Scootaloo's mother inside. There is now no going back. Chrysalis gave them a life lesson and now those students have entered a realm of no return.
"Shining Armor, are you up for another adventure for old time sakes?" Chrysalis asked as she reached her hand out.
"Yes I am, to teach those punks a lesson and everyone else a life lesson," Shining said as he and Chrysalis shake hands on agreement terms.
"My Queen I have some news for you," Thorax said.
"What is it Thorax?" Chrysalis said, waiting for a response.
"Scootaloo is here at the funeral home. She was waiting for a ride back to her house. What should I do?" Thorax said as he is waiting for Chrysalis to answer.
"Tell Scootaloo that she'll be heading over to the school and she'll be staying with us for the night," Chrysalis answered. "We're gonna tell her everything that has happened today."
"Yes my Queen, anything else before I go?" Thorax asked.
"Yea, buy some snacks, we're gonna need it for the night," Chrysalis said then turned to Shining Armor.
"In the meantime Chrysalis, I'll go and see if Scootaloo has any other relatives that need to know about Ember Light." Shining Stated.
"That won't do any good. Scootaloo's mom and dad had no siblings. Their parents passed away years ago. She has no family now."
"Alright then, I'll see if there is anything else I can do for that poor girl," Shining said sadly.
"Alright then and best of luck."
"Thanks," Shining said now leaving the scene.
Chrysalis went back into her car and remained there silently. She thought of the pain and suffering one child has to go through. First losing a father in war now a mother due to the arsonists of Canterlot High. Right now she wants to scorch them off of the face of the earth but right now, she needs to go back to Canterlot High and await for Thorax and Scootaloo's return.
"Ugh...This is going to be a long night." Chrysalis said. Then she got a message from Pharynx.
"Chrysalis, Celestia responded back, she'll have another assembly in the gymnasium. Right now the crew and I are setting up seats in the gym for tomorrow. We moved our campsite to the soccer fields. Tonight is going to be cleared. No rain. Hope you don't mind that." Pharynx said.
"No problem at all. Thanks for the heads up." She said now driving back to the school.
2 hours later, Scootaloo and Thorax are now at Canterlot High. Thorax parked the car in the back of the school and escorted Scootaloo to the campsite.
"Wait here and I'll bring Chrysalis, Pharynx and the rest of my friends out here," Thorax said.
"Alright then," Scootaloo said silently. She was not having a good day or night.
A Few moments later, Thorax came back with everyone. He set up a bond fire. The others sat in a circle like a family would when they were to gather around.
"Alright Scootaloo, I have some news for you to hear. They aren't great so I'll get to the point." Chrysalis said and a calm but sad tone. Scootaloo could only look at her eyes in sadness. Wanting to be with her mother. "Your mom met with a tragic accident in your home. " Scootaloo's face said it all for how she was feeling. Tears streaming down her face. Thorax offers a hug and she took it instantly. Crying uncontrollably. "As I was saying, she was killed by arsonists from this school seeking justice in the wrong way. Right now I have a friend who is working on finding you a new family and place to call home. You're in good hands as far as I can tell you." Scootaloo continued to cry uncontrollably in Thorax's arms.
"I know that things are bad but things will also get better. It'll take time but in the end, you'll find your happiness and place in this world. All of us here," Scootaloo turned and see the Cybernetic Task Force smiling and showing sympathy for her "we're also your family. Friends who look out for each other. Am I right guys?" They nodded in agreement.
"Hey, kid," Pharynx called out, "I know how bad life can be at times. It sucks and feels like we're in hell but there is a positive note here. It's a brief parting. Soon you'll be reunited with your family in the afterlife. Right now, kid, they want to see you grow, become a better you. Not for you to feel pain, not for you to suffer. What they want to see from their daughter is to be happy. In time, you'll be able to achieve that goal. Right now, it's ok to cry. It's ok to shout. It's ok to feel pain but know that the pain you have will make you stronger than before. Know that with the right people and friends in your life, you'll emerge victoriously." Pharynx said as he's cheering up Scootaloo.
"Yea, in the end, there is always a moment of truth. A moment where you'll be able to rise out of the ashes of despair. A moment in your life for you to scream, shout back at the world for all the wrong but proclaim that you can be better than this." Chrysalis said.
"Look Scootaloo," Kevin said, "we all go through tough times and there are always people out there who have cruelty in their names. There always people who would do stupid shit to make other people feel bad to make themselves look good. Then there are righteous people who do the opposite of that. What I'm and we are encouraging for you is decide on what type of person you want to be. Someone who's going to do bad after one cause or someone who'll learn and take action."
"You telling me that because of what I said to Rainbow Dash and what I've decided to do when joining Anon-A-Miss?" Scootaloo asked.
"Bingo!" Kevin answered. "We want what's best for you and we want to know which path are you going to take."
"I know that playing their game will leave me in trouble. I rather play my game. To teach and help those in need. I know I probably won't have Rainbow Dash in my life again after I convinced her of choosing Sunset Shimmer to blame for Anon-A-Miss but I now know that each of you here are now starting to become my friends, my teachers and my new family in my life. Thank you for the wise words you've spoken to me." Scootaloo said wiping her tears away. "
Everyone went in on Scootaloo for a group hug. After that, they had their very own slumber party. Looking at the stars at night, watching comets come by, seeing shooting stars, telling stories and having some good laughs to cheer up Scootaloo. Today is a hard day for her. Having to lose her family but gained a new one in return.
It is now 11:30 at night. Everyone at the school went to sleep in their tents. Scootaloo is sleeping in Chrysalis' tent. She thought last night was special but tonight, it'd became clear that something new will come out in the end after a painful loss. How lucky she is to make new friends and adding them to her family.
Tomorrow, there's going to be hell to pay and another life lesson for everyone at Canterlot High.
