The school bell rings, signaling the end of the day. Sunset Shimmer exits the school in a foul mood.
"Sunny!" Pinkie Pie calls out.
Sunset turns around and sees the party girl. "Oh. Hi, Pinkie."
"What's the matter? You look more ragged than a twisted necktie."
After calming down a little, Sunset told Pinkie her problem. "I heard that there's a school newspaper coming out."
"So?"
"You know what happened during the whole Anon-A-Miss incident. I felt so betrayed."
Sunset went back to her apartment which got Pinkie scared. The next day, Sunset was heading for study hall, still feeling upset about this newspaper coming out, when she heard Principal Celestia made an announcement. "Sunset Shimmer, please come to my office. I repeat: Sunset Shimmer, please come to my office. "
Now, the former bully is really scared. But, she heads into the office anyway. Inside, she talks to the principal and vice principal.
"It has come to Vice Principal Luna and my attention that you're very upset about this school newspaper coming out." Celestia said.
"No doubt, you're still upset about the Anon-A-Miss incident." Luna added.
"Yeah." Sunset sadly replied. "I'm afraid the mastermind of that scheme will strike again."
"Don't worry, Sunset." Celestia comforted. "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo did apologize. So, there will be no strikes against you."
"Really?"
"Really. In fact, we'd like it if you can contribute to the newspaper. "
"We're sure you'll have a good news story to tell everyone." Luna added.
This made Sunset feel a little better. Later that night, Sunset was invited to stay at Rarity's house. Wearing a simple light teal nightshirt, Sunset gets ready to sleep on the couch. Sporting a short sleeve blue nightgown, Rarity checks on her visitor.
"Are you sure you can handle sleeping on the couch, darling?" Rarity asked.
"I've done it a few times." Sunset replied. "Besides, maybe I can think of a story for the school newspaper. "
"Good point. By the way, your nightshirt looks adorable. I like that color."
As Rarity leaves, Sunset lays down. It was nice to be complimented. Morning came, and Sunset woke up quietly so she doesn't wake up Rarity. She went to the bathroom to look at herself.
YUCK! Sunset thought. My hair is as ragged as a bird's nest. I hope Rarity don't mind if I borrowed her hair brush.
"Sunset." Rarity called out. "I know you're in there. Are you decent?"
"Yeah." Sunset replied. "I hope you don't mind if I use your brush."
Rarity comes in with her hair equally messy. "Different minds can think alike."
The two friends shared a giggle. A few days later, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset had a pleasant talk during lunch.
"This story you submitted about yoga is great, Sunset. " Twilight praised.
"Thanks, Twi." Sunset replied. "Joining those people at the park is a great experience. I never felt this relaxed in a while."
"That a girl. Nothing can get you down for long."
Sunset felt happy hearing that. "You're right. Not even Anon-A-Miss can stop me."
At another table, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo watched and listened to the conversation. They know Sunset is right. In the hallway, Pinkie Pie feels happy.
"This is a fun chapter. " Pinkie Pie cheered. "Especially all of those words starting with the letter N. Necktie, Nothing, Never, Newspaper, Nightshirt, Nest, WOW!"
Pinkie walks down the hallway feeling happy about......
Hey, Brian! Just a moment!
Sunset Shimmer? What's the matter?
We need to talk. Twenty-six letters of the alphabet, and you had to have Pinkie obsessed with the letter N.
