Flash ran down the hall to the band room. His face was still flush, embarrassed by his inadvertent confession.
‘Ugh. Really? Really really?’ he thought.
Poking his head into the bandroom, he saw no one was there. SugarCube Corner it is then. Off he went.
‘Why? Why did I say that? So not cool…’
His thoughts continued as he flew through the halls and out the doors, crossing the lot, then heading down the street to the bakery.
‘Now she’s going to think I’m the biggest dingus ever. Ahggg.. Who am I kidding.. I am the biggest dingus ever! I just admitted to basically stalking her through her friends. Creepy creepy creepy.. I’m so toast! She’ll never talk to me again…’
Still lost in his thoughts, he entered the bakery. Looking up, he spied the girls sitting at their usual table. Their sisters were there too. Snapping out of his funk, he headed over to their booth.
“...we’re anon-a-miss,” he heard Sweetie Belle say.
‘Wait, what?’ he thought. ‘They’re anon-a-miss? The CMC is anon-a-miss?’
The table exploded in response. “What! How in tarnation are you anon-a-miss?” exclaimed Applejack.
“Sweetie… no!” gasped Rarity.
“Scoots…. Say it isn’t so…” cried out Rainbow.
Everyone was shouting. The CMC were crying and yelling. The girls started crying too, and in moments the rest of the bakery had turned to them, all other conversation stopped.
Flash stepped up, and hugged the CMC, pressing them shoulder to shoulder before him. “Girls!” he shouted over their shoulders. “Girls! Listen up!” They still were crying and yelling, no one paying any attention to anything except their drama. Sighing, he hugged the girls tighter and whistled loudly.
Silence. Finally.
They all turned to him. “Girls. Twilight’s here,” he stated. “She’s looking for you. She wants to talk about what happened to Sunset, and what’s going on. All of you, come with me. I’ll bring you to her.”
Five girls nodded, while the CMC just hung their heads. “Come on girls, with me.” Flash took Sweetie Belle’s and Applebloom’s hands, while Scootalo tagged behind with the girls. Flash led them out of the bakery and back to the office of Vice-Principal Luna.
Everyone in the bakery just sat there looking stunned.
