It had been almost a month since the whole memory stone dilemma. Everyone had a hard time grasping over what happened, and they had learnt not to ask. For if anyone recalls, a certain girl who loved plants, Wallflower Blush, was jealous of Sunset Shimmer’s popularity from a bully to a beloved friend. She used the memory stone to erase everyone at CHS’ good memory of her to teach her a lesson. But thanks to both Princess Twilight and Trixie, she was able to deduced that she was responsible.
She confronted her, only to sacrifice herself to save her friends when Wallflower ended up erasing her memories. Thanks to the power of their friendship, they were able to destroy the memory stone before things got worst and their memories were restored. Ashamed, Wallflower apologized to Sunset for what she had done, with Sunset doing the same, realizing that even though she was no longer a bully, she still wasn’t nice to her, even if she didn’t realize it. She helped Wallflower realize that everyone matters, no matter how insignificant or invisible they feel. The two of them became friends and all was fine in the world.
However, during that month, whilst everyone was able to forgive her, she suddenly felt sad again, and couldn’t eat her food as she was in the cafeteria. She rested her head on her left hand whilst her right hand was holding her fork and twiddled with her food instead of eating it. Thankfully, her silence didn’t go unnoticed.
‘Wallflower, are you okay?’
She then noticed that the person who spoke to her are Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy. All of them who noticed that she looked very sad for some time.
‘Oh, hey girls.’ said Wallflower as she still stared at her food.
‘You’ve been awfully quiet darling.’ said Rarity as she looked at Wallflower with concern.
‘Yeah,’ said Applejack ‘Y’all are more silent than a sloth on a good day.’
‘Not to mention the sad frown.’ said Twilight as she pointed it out.
‘Which should be turned upside down.’ said Pinkie Pie with her usual glee of a smile.
‘I’m not in much of a smiling mood.’ said Wallflower, much to Pinkie’s dismay.
‘It’s alright Wallflower.’ said Fluttershy ‘We’re your friends too.’
‘Yeah,’ said Rainbow Dash ‘We’d never leave anybody hanging.’
Wallflower then sighed, then presented her arm to Sunset, much to her confusion.
‘Go ahead,’ said Wallflower, leaving Sunset puzzled. ‘I know you’re going to read my mind anyway. Might as well get it over with.’
Sunset shrugged and decided to do just that. Just as she touched Wallflower’s arm, her eyes instantly glowed.
Flashback through Wallflower’s eyes
Wallflower was happily busy trying to place most of her things away, until she was startled when it was forced closed. Next to her, was a boy with the same skin color like her, but with a neatly cut emerald green hair, wearing a short sleeved black shirt with a hand on top of it, with fingerless brown gloves, blue jeans, brown shoes and had violet eyes. And he did not look happy.
‘Whoa, Handy, I…’ said Wallflower as she was surprised.
‘We need to talk sister,’ said the boy named Handy ‘Now.’
They were at the garden, where Wallflower had just finished setting up her garden. She had just finished telling him of what she did a month ago.
‘Why would you do that?!’ shouted Handy ‘She never did anything to you, and you do this behind her back?!’
‘I just wanted to teach her a lesson.’ said Wallflower as she tried to defend herself ‘She didn’t even know me so I wanted her friends to not know her so that she could know what it feels like.’
‘Oh, come on now, that’s not fair.’ said Handy as he tried to defend Sunset. ‘Yes, she may have been popular from bully to friend, but she didn’t ask to be popular. When she was a bully, she was in a dark place. But because of Princess Twilight, she was able to help Sunset, she even asked her friends to help her. And after the whole ordeal, she worked very hard to earn everyone else’s trusts back. She apologized, she made up for what she did, helped repair everyone’s friendships, even opened up of what was bothering her, or the fact that all of them are comforting her because she doesn’t have any family here in this world. And maybe you would’ve noticed that if you hadn’t kept shutting yourself out from everybody.’
‘That’s not fair.’ said Wallflower.
‘Neither was erasing everyone else’s memory of Sunset and all the good she did by using a magical artifact that you had no idea on how to control.’ said Handy. ‘Didn’t you even realize what that once did to Sunset and Twilight in the past?’
Wallflower was silent for a moment, but Handy continued with his talk to her.
‘If you had even paid close attention, which you didn’t do,’ said Handy ‘She saved everybody. She helped her friends saved us from the Dazzlings, from Twilight’s magical rampage because of Crystal Prep, helped saved everyone at Camp Everfree from Gloriosa’s episode, even saved the Camp from being turned into a Spa and not to mention helped Juniper Montage see a new light and became her friend when she needed one the most.’
‘How would you…?’ said Wallflower before her brother cut her off.
‘I know because I was there.’ said Handy, which surprised her. ‘I went to Camp Everfree with Canterlot High, which I tried to convince you to join, but you kept shutting yourself out, as usual.’
He then stood close her as he said ‘Everybody was able to give her a chance to make up for her mistakes and gave her a chance to earn their trusts, why couldn’t you do the same?!!’
Handy then walked away until Wallflower stopped him as she said ‘I only did what I thought was necessary to…’
Handy then swatted her hand away, much to her surprise as he said ‘Don’t.’ whilst pointing at her.
She was at first stunned the way he shunned her like that, but he said his piece as he said ‘Necessary, means you didn’t have any other choice. What you did to Sunset by using her friends as guinea pigs like that? That wasn’t necessary. And you know it.’
He then walked away as he gripped his fists, and ended up stepping onto one of her favorite flowers, much to her shock as she tried to save it. She watched him walk away, with her feeling greatly distraught.
Back to reality
Sunset was finished as her eyes were widened in shock from both things. One, Wallflower has a brother. Two, that he was furious at her for using the Memory Stone. However, she was more focused on the now.
‘Handy is your brother?’ asked Sunset.
‘Handy?’ said the rest of the girls.
However, Pinkie was the first to catch up with widened eyes as she said ‘You’re brother is Handy Helper?’
The rest of the girls were surprised to hear this.
‘Oh, ah know Handy.’ said Applejack when she remembered him. ‘He always come by to the farm to see if any of our farming equipment were up to date. He even did a great job fixin’ Big Mac’s pickup truck.’
‘He even helped make special feeding stations for the animals at the shelter.’ said Fluttershy, which made her giggle as she said ‘He even made some special speakers for them so that they could play them lullaby songs for them every night.’
‘He even helped me set up the display for my latest creation,’ said Rarity, then she giggled too as she remembered that one specific time he helped her ‘He even makes such wonderful snicker doodles.’
‘You think that’s handy.’ said Rainbow Dash as she remembered one specific time he helped her. ‘He helped fix our sports equipment and also helped made sure we were hydrated before we practice for the next big game. The Wondercolts can never get tired to his famous energy drinks.’
Pinkie then drooled as she remembered Handy too. ‘He even made me those yummy cupcakes as thanks for giving some cupcakes to him at his workplace. His fellow employees were really grateful for them.’
‘Handy even helped me fix most of my equipment in my lab when they last broke down.’ said Twilight as she remembered him fondly the last time they saw each other.
‘Yeah, that’s him.’ said Wallflower, still thinking about the confrontation between the two of them.
‘Did something happen between you two?’ asked Rarity.
‘They had a bit of a falling out.’ said Sunset ‘Apparently he’s angry at her for using the memory stone and erasing everyone else’s minds of me.’
They were surprised that he knew about it. ‘He knew about that there memory stone?’
‘He even knows Princess Twilight.’ said Sunset, much to the others’ surprise.
‘So what happened?’ asked Pinkie Pie ‘Did they have a fight or something?’
‘Uh, I don’t wanna go into details,’ said Sunset as she rubbed the back of her head ‘But it ended with him saying, quote, “What you did to Sunset by using her friends as guinea pigs. That wasn’t necessary, and you know it.”, end quote.’
‘Hoo boy.’ said Applejack, which the others were still surprised from Handy Helper’s last response. ‘When a sibling says something like that to their own, that’s a likely hood of saying that things are really bad between them.’
‘He won’t even accept my apology, even after I tried.’ said Wallflower as she had the look of defeat on her face.
‘Then we’re gonna help you get to the bottom of this.’ said Pinkie Pie as she stood up.
‘I agree,’ said Rarity ‘I may not know what really happened between you two, but having siblings arguing with one another simply won’t do.’
‘We’ll talk to Principle Celestia to ask him to come to her office,’ said Twilight ‘Then we’ll be able to figure out what’s wrong.’
‘You girls would really do that?’ asked Wallflower.
‘Of course.’ said Sunset as she smiled whilst placing her hand on Wallflower’s shoulder ‘You’re our friend. The least we can do is help you out.’
Wallflower couldn’t help but smile as she greatly appreciates their help. ‘Thank you girls.’
‘Don’t thank us yet until we help solve a problem.’ said Pinkie in her positive go by attitude.
