After thinking about what Moondancer had said, I sat down at my desk. I was so nervous about the assembly that I hadn't even looked through my schedule. When I logged into the computer, I saw that I only had one student for the day, which was good because it was a certain someone with rainbow hair, which both infuriated and perplexed me because I couldn't understand why Rainbow would be one of Luna's regulars. I panicked when I realised I had an appointment in less than five minutes, so I hurriedly arranged everything in my office and had just thirty seconds left when I heard someone knock on the door.
I yelled, "Come in," so they could hear me. I was expecting Rainbow Dash to open the door gently and close it neatly, but instead she startled me by doing so.
"May I sit down please?" She asked as I nodded, and I was worried because Rainbow never requested to sit on a chair in the past—not even when she was a member of our school team—she just did it without asking.
"So you already know my name but I don't know yours or anything about you how about we start with what you like and how old you are," I said with encouragement.
She stammered at the end and replied, "Well, my name is Rainbow Dash, but most people call me Dash or Rainbow. I'm 17 and like to play sports; I'm even on the school team."
I informed her, sensing something wasn't quite right. "That's good now that you know I'm Sunny Skies, but you can call me Sunny or Skies whichever you are more comfortable with now remember you can tell me anything I'm here to help," I said.
I nodded and gestured for her to continue, "You see we all think we know whose behind the account you probably heard of her," she said, stammering at different words. "Well as you have most likely been told an account has been going around and posting people's secrets along with other information people would like to remain private," she informed me just to make sure I understood.
I tried to hide my rage as I answered, "If you are referring to Sunset Shimmer then yes, I do know who you are on about," but as soon as I saw Rainbow had tears in her eyes, I knew something wasn't right.
I would have loved it right then, but Rainbow came first. I stood up and gave her a hug, and we hugged for a good three minutes. "I don't think it is her anymore," she murmured softly, tears in her eyes.
"Well, tell me why you don't think it's her and what changed your mind," I said, wanting to know what might have happened.
"When everything was posted, we all thought it was her at first, but she tried to disprove it with a tonne of evidence, which we all dismissed as phoney and made up. However, when I watched her run out of sugar cube corner, I began to have second thoughts, and after giving it some serious thought, I realised that it was probably because of what happened at the fall formal last year," she said. This made me happy and confused at the same time because the fall formal was a while ago.
To keep up my disguise, I said politely, "As you know Rainbow, I'm going to need you to tell me what happened since I wasn't there last year."
"It was before last year's fall formal when Sunset was still the queen bee before she joined us, she also ripped us apart and I'm gonna be honest we all told her we had forgiven her but deep down I knew I hadn't mainly because I showed no loyalty to any of my friends by not even asking them why they had quit on me without any reason before we found out Sunset was the one behind all that is after she started to redeem herself we began to let her into our lives little by little but we never truly did." Given her entire demeanour and character were based on loyalty, and since she crushed someone almost as much as I had the year before, I found it shocking how devastated Rainbow was as she spoke the most of it while stuttering repeatedly and with tears in her eyes.
"You and your friends should apologise to her after she is found," I told her, but before I knew it, she glanced up at me. "It's okay, you realise your mistake."
"You think the others listened to me, they think I'm just an idiot who has no clue what they are on about according to most of them anyway" Rainbow revealed something that broke my heart: the Rainbooms were destroying each other without my presence, which alarmed me, but I knew that I couldn't make them do anything they didn't want to.
"You are not an idiot, your friends are just on edge and are saying it so they don't have to accept your way and view because they would be devastated if they believed that for now just try and support your friends in any way you can," I said prior to our alarms sound
"Well looks like that's the end of our session, the next one is set for this Saturday if that's fine with you?" I inquired since she was just recovering.
"Thank you, Skies, you were a big help. I'll see you this Saturday," Rainbow said beamingly as she turned to leave. However, I was shocked to discover that the rainbooms hadn't even forgiven me after the fall formal, which made their mistrust more understandable. I was thinking this as I drifted into my mind to escape reality.
