Rainbow
I placed my hands on my hips as we all stood in the library, looking around.
“Ah got a feeling we are gonna be here for a minute,” Applejack said finally as I sighed, racing up the stairs. “Dash, elevator!”
I ignored her and the others as I continued going up the stairs, panting slightly as I passed the second floor finally.
“Only one more to go,” I muttered as I glanced down to see my friends getting on the elevator.
“Oof!”
I fell on my ass after I ran into a green haired girl, her joining me on the landing.
“I’m sorry,” I said and stood up, extending a hand to help her up. “That’s my fault, wasn’t looking where I was going. I’ll take that L.”
“It’s okay,” the girl muttered as she hesitantly accepted my hand and I paused, looking her over. She had a striped sweater and messy green hair as my eyes slightly widened.
“Wallflower?”
Wallflower eyes widened as we made eye contact and she tensed up defensively as she eyed me warily.
“What do you want and how do you know my name?” Wallflower asked cautiously as I shrugged.
“Sonata told me. Sent me and the others to talk to you. Not sure why but she did,” I said as Wallflower nodded slowly.
“I have an idea of what you want. Follow me.”
I stared at her as she started walking back up and the stairs. She was quiet the whole way back up to ghe third floor, easily avoiding people as I waved my friends over. They nodded as Wallflower led me into a conference room or study room whatever it was called, gently shutting the door behind us.
“So you want me to fix this whole grouphat issue?” Wallflower asked as we sat down, my friends joining us quietly.
“I guess so darling. I’m not entirely sure how removing the memory of our phones will help. She and the whole school saw it, deleting it off our phone won’t do a thing,” Rarity said as Wallflower gave us a confused look before laughing. “What?”
“Is that seriously what Sonata told you? That I clear computer and phone memory?” Wallflower laughed again as she reached into her bag and pulled out a rock, setting it on the table. “No, I erase people’s memories.”
“I don’t follow,” Fluttershy said after a moment. Wallflower sighed in frustration and pinched her nose.
“Alright so this rock has the ability to remove memories. I just point it at someone and boom, they don’t remember me or anything else that they want to forget,” Wallflower said casually as we gave her horrified looks. “What?”
“You just steal from people?” Applejack demanded and went pale slightly. “That ain’t right.”
“Nor is abandoning your friend to the wolves but you don’t see me lecturing you, now do you? Especially when I know who’s really behind the account.”
“Wait what?” Rarity said as we all froze and stared at her. “Tell us darling. Please.”
I grew slightly angry as Wallflower shook her head, smiling slightly.
“Nah. I’m just enjoying the irony too much and besides, my partner is using them at the moment. I have an agreement with her to let her finish and then we will expose them to Sunset. I also refuse to work with you. I may have little love for Sunset but this is a business in a way for me. I can’t let my personal dislike of the girl to get in the way of my work,” Wallflower explained as she kicked her feet on the table and rested the stone on her lap. “Naturally, I refuse to work with rapists, murderers or future criminals like that. I more so help the victims forget the experience.”
“You’re gonna tell me who it is,” I growled as Wallflower raised an eyebrow slightly, patting a rock.
“I have a magic stone to remove your memories. Do you really want to risk the slim chance you have of getting to me before I simply just lift it and erase your memory?” Wallflower asked with a smirk as I paused.
“Give us a minute to talk,” I said and waved my friends to the back of the room away from her. “Okay what do we do?”
“We are not erasing Sunset’s memories,” Fluttershy said firmly. “I’m not her biggest fan right now but just taking them from her would be wrong. We’d be stealing a part of her. And what if we accidentally took more than just anon a miss from her?”
“I was gonna say the same,” I admitted as they gave me stunned looks. “What, she makes a point? I have little love for Sunset right now but this is wrong.”
“But what about her?” Rarity nodded subtly in Wallflowers direction. “She has the stone. She could easily be hurting other people, no matter how much good she thinks she’s doing?”
“We take it from her then. Bury it or something. Throw it in a lake,” I said as Applejack paused and looked behind me.
“Where did she go?”
“You know, you should never turn your back on an enemy,” Wallflower said casually as we all jumped and Rarity spun around as we all backed up nervously. “I’m not your friend, after all.”
“Just give us the stone and all is good between us, alright sugarcube? You could seriously hurt someone with that there stone,” Applejack pleaded as Wallflower glared at us and locked the door behind her.
“You know, I’m always invisible. No one knew me for the longest and now, everyone comes to me and not you. I help people, I do good and I’m finally seen. And you won’t take this from me,” Wallflower snarled as she gritted her teeth. “And since I’ll be taking your memories, it’s your sisters. They’re behind the account. But Diamond Tiara isn’t done with them yet so you aren’t supposed to know this.”
“Apple Bloom wouldn’t do something like this,” Applejack shook her head.
“Would she? Surely you’ve seen her acting differently. And why did no secret of hers or her two friends get posted?” Wallflower pointed out as she smirked coldly. “Being invisible does have it’s benefits. They never saw me or Diamond Tiara watching them in the shadows talking about it. You can’t hit what you can’t see.”
“I-you’re lying!” Rarity snapped as Wallflower grinned and pulled her phone out with a free hand, playing a video on her phone.
This whole thing has gone downhill. Our target was Sunset and it’s backfired! Our sisters and their friends are getting accused of this!”
“Well who was the one who posted the screenshot of the groupchat, Sweetie?” Scootaloo shot back. “Things were going well until that.”
“I accidentally clicked on it okay! And my phone died before I could delete it. Apple Bloom reacted quick enough and deleted it but it was too late. We have to end things.”
“Or we keep blaming random classmates,” Scootaloo suggested. “We cause enough chaos, our sisters get forgotten about being blamed if everyone is fighting each other. They will be so busy fighting that they won’t even have time to fight our sisters or us. Fool proof plan.”
“And besides, Sunset wouldn’t have just deleted the account,” Apple Bloom pointed out. “That would go against everything she used to be like. That’s tuckin tail n runnin’!”
“The account was your idea, Sweetie Belle! Don’t go all scared on us now. This is a group effort,” Scootaloo grunted as she folded her arms across her chest. “Look, there’s no way this can come back to us.”
“And if it starts to, we just expose our classmates,” Sweetie Belle admitted and looked up at the ceiling. “We wouldn’t have known half of what we did if it wasn’t for them.”
“That’s an understatement. And besides, we can’t just up and delete the account. Some people already doubt Sunset is behind it.”
“Well, we just post about them. Cloudkicker keeps her nose pretty clean but everyone has a secret. And Trixie is very easy to get dirt on.”
“When Cloudkicker ain’t banging around that is, whatever that means,” Apple Bloom shrugged. “Mah sis says she’s loose but ain’t nothing seem loose on her to me if she’s talking clothes.”
We all froze and gave each other horrified looks as Wallflower snickered.
“Looks like you don’t know them as well as you thought,” Wallflower purred as she put her phone away. “Now you’re gonna feel some mild discomfort.”
She pointed the stone at us as Applejack and I lunged at her as the stone glowed green and we both cried out in pain as we fell to our knees.
“Argh!” Rarity and Fluttershy cried out as they collapsed on top of each other.
“How could you do this to someone?” Fluttershy asked as Wallflower glared down at us.
“Easily.”
“Dash, why are we locked in a library?” Applejack asked as I groaned, pressing my hand to my head.
“I- I don’t know?”
