Applebloom sat on the purple club chair of Sweetie Belle's room on the day of Rarity's sleepover. She couldn't believe how well things have become. By the luck of Faust, Sweetie managed to get very embarrassing photos of the Rainbooms on Sunset's phone.
Sunset's very own phone!
How can they say no to that hard cold 'evidence'?!
But still, they've got a strong friendship. It's going to be hard to break.
Thank Faust she had a proper plan.
But still, she couldn't stop the hope that maybe, they just might cut ties with Sunset when they see the photos?
Hopefully.
But deep down, she knew that she might fail miserably. They have got matching geodes, are in a band together, and Sunset is, (though not said out loud) the leader of the whole thing.
A bad taste was left of Applebloom's mouth as she thought of that last sentence.
How?!?!
How can someone who once turned into a literal she-demon become the leader of the good guys?!
If she was just a friend, ok, but becoming a part of the group?!
A bit too much for my taste!
But becoming the LEADER?! What type of sorcery in that?!?
How can someone with so much sins in her past have such a good life?
Well, I will not let it happen, hopefully.
Applebloom got up from her chair and headed to the window. Sweetie Belle had become tired after spending so much time downloading the pictures from Sunset's phone to her laptop that she had fallen asleep on the plush bed. Passing her, Applebloom reached the window, where a ray of moonlight was illuminating the room. She lied her forehead onto the cold glass, relishing the feeling and closing her eyes. Maybe, she could just sleep...
Nope, you need to think about this.
The young farmer opened her eyes and groaned slightly.
What is there to think about?
What if your doing this all wrong?
How am I doing it wrong?
Have you considered thinking about what Sunset has done?
...
Sunset has done nothing but good after the Fall Formal. She had to spend weeks alone, because she avoided the Rainbooms as her guilt would increase just looking at them. It took a long time for her to heal from that Fall Formal, and then she only became part of the group after the Battle of the Bands. She literally sacrificed herself for her friends, making up the fact she teared their friendship years ago. Give her a chance, Applebloom. You are doing the wrong thing.
...
Groaning, Applebloom stood up and went to her sleeping bag and took out her phone from the covers. The phone was red with pink apple designs on it, with a small apple keychain dangling from the camera. She opened it and went to MyStable, logging in to the Anon-A-Miss blog.
The photos. All the photos were done and ready to go. MyStable didn't have an auto-post feature, so she had typed the post on the Notes app on her phone first and then planned to copy and paste it into the Anon-A-Miss blog tomorrow morning.
She opened the 'edit' icon on the screen and hovered her thumb over the 'delete note' button.
How about I just forget this?
Scootaloo doesn't know. Sweetie can be easily convinced to not do it. I hope.
If I just...
No.
I-I can't.
I can't let Sunset just get away with everything she's done!
She's hurt so, so many people!
SHE LITERALLY JUST SAID SORRY AND EVERYTHING WAS FORGIVEN!
Applebloom, stop-
This isn't the way-
NO! I'M DONE WITH THIS!
I WILL BRING JUSTICE!
As she thought these words, however, something in Applebloom, faded. It felt as if something, a sliver, a light, a spark, had just..... melted away when she wanted justice. the small red-headed farmer, who had brought her arm to the air in a energetic position, let her arm drop down to her sides with something like.... emptiness.
Shaking it aside, she placed her phone back on the nightstand, and snuggled into the bedroom covers.
Hopefully, that she-demon will get justice. Hopefully.
The next day, Applebloom woke up really early, as if her mind was planning it all along.
Time to post!
She hoped off her bed and took her phone out quickly. Her mind was racing. Finally, Sunset Shimmer will get what she deserves!
Her fingers grazed the 'post' button, almost pressing it.
It's now or never. If I do this, there will be no going back.
Applebloom, please, just think about this!
... I'm sorry. I've made up my mind. A certain she-demon shall finally get what she deserves for making the student body crazy for the last three years.
She typed out the caption and clicked post, trying not to notice her hands shaking slightly while typing and the emptiness that still lingered in the back of her mind.
Applebloom reached school in Big Mac's car. All of the Rainbooms had been deathly silent the whole morning. Even Pinkie had just sat there, playing with her cereal and sometimes pushing her hair, which was now so straight that it looked ghastly for Pinkie, away from the bowl. Fluttershy had absentmindedly played with her hair, but Applebloom seemed to be the only one who noticed her softly sobbing. Rainbow was extremely surly and titchy, occasionally jumping from random noises like the electrical sound of the stove and the constant meowing of Opal. Rarity have chewed her toast, for once forgetting to be prime and proper. Twilight looked... heartbroken. That was the only word she could think of. The nerdy girl looked like her true love had broken her heart completely. And Applejack....
looked sad.
She had kept silent during breakfast, and had asked for some privacy just before leaving. Applebloom couldn't hear the Rainbooms, but they had emerged with determined faces, about to do something...
Hopefully about to rid Canterlot High of it's raging she-demon.
As she stepped out of the truck with a mumbled 'thanks', she was hit with the cold winter. A winter where her sister will hopefully spend time with her.
As she looked up to the sky, despite herself, she thought,
Please let everything be okay, Faust.
Please...
