A less than pleasant meet up
Rainbow Dash and Rarity sat in the back seats of Flash's car, as he drove them around all the Ponyville apartments. He had picked them both up not long after Twilight and Adagio left the park, and were now going to the sirens apartment.
"I know it's one of these..." Rainbow muttered, trying to remember where exactly she and Trixie had seen the siren Aria a while ago. "C'mon Twilight, where are you?"
"You're sure it's around here, right?" Flash asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure!" Rainbow replied.
"There she is!" Rarity said. She pointed out the window, at someone who was sitting against an apartment door, and as the car got closer, sure enough, it was Twilight. "TWILIGHT!" she shouted, trying to get the princess's attention.
The car stopped in front of the apartment. Dash quickly got out of the car, and ran towards Twilight. "Hey, what's going on? Why are you out here?"
"...It's all my fault..." Twilight mumbled.
Rarity ran over to them both. "Twilight dear, W... What happeded?" she asked.
Rainbow looked around her, and recognized where they were, she could even see the bus stop not far down the street. "Is... She in there?" she asked. When she didn't get a response, she walked over to the window, and took a quick peek inside.
Twilight looked up at Dash, "Rainbow... Don't," she said halfheartedly.
Through the window, Rainbow could see her. Sunset was laying on a bed, crying into a pillow. Rainbow felt paralyzed at the sight of the poor girl. "Sunset..."
"She's in there?" Rarity asked, running over to the window, and looking in. "Oh my..."
Twilight got up, and joined them at the window, taking in the sight for herself. Rainbow brought her arm up, and was about to tap the window to get Sunset's attention, but her hand froze inches away from the glass. As much as she wanted to, she just couldn't bring herself to tap the glass.
"Let's just go..." Twilight said, turning away from the window and walking towards Flash. Rarity was the next to walk away, but Rainbow was still frozen in place, and all she could do was watch Sunset cry, knowing full well that she made her like this.
Eventually, Rainbow was able to tear herself away. But before she walked back to the car, she took out her phone, and took a picture of the number on the apartment door, so she knew exactly where Sunset was. When that was done, she made her way towards Flash and into the car. "So... Where should I drop you all off?" Flash asked weakly.
"Sugercube Corner," Rarity replied, "That's where Pinkie wants to meet us..."
Pinkie Pie was sitting in one of the booths in Sugercube Corner, with Fluttershy next to her, and Applejack opposite her.
Applejack had her arms folded, and her hat angled downwards to cover her face. Fluttershy was slumped over on the table, completely motionless, to the point where if it wasn't for her quiet sobs, you could probably mistake her for a dead body. Finally, Pinkie was simply staring at her phone, waiting for a message.
"U'know she ain't gonna call, right?" Applejack asked.
"Well if Sunset wants me to call this off, then she'll have to call me herself!" Pinkie replied, not moving her gaze from the phone at all.
She had received a text from Rainbow Dash telling her Sunset wanted the search party of people looking for her to stop. Simply put, Pinkie wasn't having that.
"Oh come on Pinkie, do you really think she'd call herself?" Applejack asked. "Seriously!?"
"Well... N..." Pinkie stuttered, "I-If she doesn't call, then I won't stop this party!" she replied.
"Fine..." AJ replied weakly, "Ah'm not in the mood to argue..."
The front door of Sugercube opened, and Rainbow, Rarity and Twilight walked in. Pinkie gave a weak wave. When they saw Pinkie and the other two girls sitting together, they slowly walked over and joined them in the booth. Applejack shifted towards the window, giving space for Rainbow Dash and Twilight to sit down, and Rarity simply took a seat next to Pinkie. None of them looked like they had good news to tell.
"...So..." Rainbow began, "Have you called it off yet..?" she asked Pinkie.
"I-" Pinkie began.
"Not yet," Applejack interrupted, "She's waitin' for Sunset to call and tell her herself..."
"Well then you're gonna be waiting a long time," Rainbow replied, "She isn't going to call..."
"Yeah she will," Pinkie replied weakly, "Just... Just give her a minute... You'll see..." Pinkie's hand began trembling, "Any minute now..."
"Pinkie, Rainbow's right," Twilight said, "She isn't going to call. Even if she did, you wouldn't like what what she would have to say..."
"Well... How do you know?" Pinkie asked.
"Because I spoke to her!" Twilight replied, "And she... Isn't coming back to us anytime soon..."
"Hold up," Applejack began, "You spoke to her? You know where she is?" she asked, tilting her hat back to its normal angle.
"Yeah..." Twilight replied, "And yes, I know where she is, but-"
"Then where is she?!?!" Pinkie asked loudly.
"Well, that's... kinda..." Dash began.
"Well? Where is she?" Pinkie repeated.
Rainbow, Rarity and Twilight looked at each other. "We might as well tell them," Rarity said, "Can't make things worse, right?"
"What's going on?" AJ asked, "Where is she?"
"Sure. You wanna tell em or should I?" Dash asked.
"I'll do it," Twilight replied. "You see, Sunset's..."
"...Well?" Pinkie asked.
"...She's..." Twilight took a deep breath, and let out a sigh. "She's with the three sirens," Twilight stated.
"The three sirens?" Pinkie repeated, "Who are... Wait... You mean..."
"The three from the battle of the bands a few months ago?" AJ asked.
"Yeah, she's with them," Rarity answered.
"But that's ridiculous!" Pinkie yelled, "Why would she be with them?"
"Because they did what none of us were willing to do..." Rainbow replied, "They gave her a chance..."
"But aren't they like, super crazy about taking over Equestria?" Pinkie asked.
"They seem to have changed since then," Twilight replied, "Now they're taking care of her..."
"How can y'all be so sure they've changed, Twi?" Applejack asked, "What if they're just, faking it, u'know, to try an-"
"You could say the same thing about Sunset, right?" Twilight interrupted weakly. It seemed to shut everyone up, as she didn't get a response from almost any of the girls.
"...I did..." Rainbow replied dryly. The five girls gave her a rather questionable look.
"You did what?" Pinkie asked.
"I said some... things to her," Dash continued, "Well, not directly to her, but..." She reached into her pocket, and pulled out her phone.
"You sent her a few mean texts?" Rarity asked, rather unamused, "I think you're overexaggerating this a tad, Dash."
"Yeah... A few..."
"What kind of things?" Twilight asked.
"Here..." Rainbow Dash passed Twilight her phone. On it were a collection of messages that had been sent to Sunset over the last few days. Twilight gave her a small, disgusted glance, "Yeah..." was all Rainbow replied. Twilight turned her gaze back towards the messages, and while they were all rather mean, and only getting worse as they went on, there were one that caught her attention the most.
Fuck off you stupid she-demon!!!
Twilight's slowly put the phone face-down on the table, and glanced at Rainbow. "Uh... Twilight, What's it say?" Pinkie asked nervously.
Twilight's arm quickly swung at Dash. There was a loud smack, as the palm of her hand made contact with Rainbow's face.
"Twilight!!" Rarity began, "What was that for?!"
"I deserve that..." Dash mumbled, rubbing her cheek.
Out of curiosity, AJ picked up the phone from from the table, and saw some of the messages, as well as the one that had set Twilight off. "That's low Rainbow. Even for what was going on here, that was low!"
Applejack passed the phone to the girls opposite her, who also read them. "Wow..." Pinkie said, "Just... What the hell Rainbow?"
"Yes, if you'll pardon my language," Rarity began, "What the hell was wrong with you?"
"I was pissed off, alright?" Dash replied dryly.
"So was I," Rarity said, "But I didn't-"
"We all were," AJ interrupted, "But none of us went far!"
"Yeah," Pinkie continued, "Yeah, we said some things, but-"
"What kind of things?" Twilight asked, though it sounded more like a demand.
"It can't be worse than me..." Fluttershy mumbled, though no one seemed to hear her.
"Um..." Pinkie began, "I told her tha-"
"Actually, I don't want to hear it!" Twilight interrupted.
"Oh... Ok..."
"It doesn't even matter anymore," Twilight continued, "What does matter, is that I was wrong to trust you!"
"Wrong to trust us?" Rarity repeated.
Twilight removed her bag off her back, opened it, and took out a few peices of paper. "I told her that you would look after her! I thought I wouldn't need to come over and resolve this, because her friends would all take care of her! How could I have been SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!" Twilight slammed the papers onto the table and gave Rainbow a glare that said move. Rainbow did just that.
After a few deep breaths, Twilight stood up and walked past Dash, towards Mrs Cake at the front counter. "Where's the bathroom?" Twilight asked. Mrs Cake pointed towards them, and Twilight walked over to where they were located. While she didn't really care about it, everyone in Sugercube Corner was watching her.
When Twilight was out of sight, the girls just stared at the bathroom door. Then, one at a time, they each turned their gaze towards the papers Twilight had put on the table.
The five girls looked at each other for a moment, and then back at the papers.
Pinkie was the one to break the silence that had formed at the table, with but a simple question that all five of them knew the answer to, without a dout.
"Are they... What I think they are..?"

Well it was short but still very good. I love how the story going and we're seeing the others finding out what Rainbow did.
Glad the Sirens saved Sunset, and can't wait to read more.
Thou I'm curious on the papers and what they are unless it was mention in the previous chapter and I missed it.
I really want to see Twilight confront the CMC after she cooled down enough so she won't try to strangle them.
If they get punished...not sure how much or what way they get punished, they could get expelled but might be too much.
Maybe three months suspension , thou mostly to keep the other students from tearing them apart, till they cool down.
Not to mention what their families will do to them.
but the biggest punishment should be learning how badly they hurt Sunset and it may of cost their sisters a friendship and trust from both Twilight and Sunset.
...I wonder what Fluttershy said thou.....I'm afraid to find out.
7035797 I have a little something planned for the CMC.
As for the papers, think about it. Finally, I can't say anything on Flutters right now because spoilers. 
7035819
Oooh you're so evil to tease me like that. But can't wait and will reread the whole story to see what i missed.
Wait a tic; the Battle happened just a few weeks before the Anon-A-Miss incident, even though Rainbow Rocks was apparently set around five months after the Fall Formal, with no indication of Fall or Winter to be found? I'm not entirely clear on the timeline of these things either, but this only muddies the matter further.
Anywho, wasn't expecting even Twilight to acknowledge her friends' mistake, but maybe her brother's wedding left some scars after all. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
7035837 If you're after the papers, just reread this chapter.
7035852 Did I really put weeks? (Goes and checks) Wow I'm a fucking idiot!!!
Should've been months...
Thanks!
7035866
Things happen.
WHAT WERE THE PAPERS?! WERE THEY ADOPTION PAPERS OR TRANSFER PAPERS OR WHAT EVEN IS THIS I DON'T FUCKING KNOW ANYMORE JUST UPDATE PLEASE SO THAT MY THIRST IS QUENCHED PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE?!
7035888
Not telling you yet. 
7035898 You make me cry
What the...whoa. Twilight sure did tell it as it is. Great chapter! I didn't expect it to go south that quickly!
Ooh, Twi's pissed.
And what are those papers, I wonder...
7035871
I just spent an hour looking at your profile picture... Ow, my eyes hurt... Why did I do that?
7036131
It's actually supposed to be a gif!

You want to eat a snowcone.
You want to eat a snowcone.
You want to eat a snowcone.
7036157
That is cruel and unusual punishment... *must... Resist...*
I don't even know what a snow cone is... Is it like ice-cream?
Basically, what Twilight said to the girls at the end of this chapter is this:
[Play at 8:57]
Hmm, i like some things you did in this story as well as "Another chance", but i have to say you tend to go overboard - Twilight's reaction at the end of this chapter and Sunset's earlier is really out of character to me, both their actions and words. I assume that's because you want to set up the story into further conflict, but as i said i feel it to be ooc.
Anyway, my comment is an expression of opinion, don't take it as trolling or outright attack.
i'm still interested where you will take your story further, so i'll put this in my tracking list.
7036537 Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
To be honest, I initially had Twilight go a bit further in this, but then toned it back a bit here. As for Sunset, it kinda fit for me because of her old personality and who she used to be, and right now, shes quite unstable to say the least.
Thanks for the coment though.
I always appreciate any criticism given.
7036603
That's exactly why i think it is ooc - Sunset knows all-encompassing anger is bad reaction to such situations. I mean she learned the value of forgiving and giving a chance instead of lashing out. It is a bit ironic because it was exactly in "Rainbow Rocks" were she was closest to feeling betrayed - i mean the scene in the hallway with the Sirens - the one were they gloat about her being left out of the band.
Twilight lashing out is kind of hard to believe, in most episodes i can remember, she tried to run instead of "fight". Besides being a powerful spellcaster and protege of Celestia, i am sure she was trained to restrain herself when angry, though i admit this is my conjecture.
Anyway, thanks for replying and please continue. Especially with "Another Chance" if you saw my other comment.
7036157 huh, for some reason i could go for a snow cone.
7036638 If it makes you feel better, I'm definitely not planning on having another Twilight crack scene.
This is as angry as I'm taking her.
If you're following both my storys, I hope you continue to comment, I like the criticism.
7036670
Well, I'm glad to hear that, but don't limit yourself too. I'll take it as you give it.
Good luck and see you later.
I'm thinking that the papers are either warrants for their arrest in Equestria, restraining order to keep them away from Sunset, or the letters that Sunset actually wrote to Twilight (copied out of the book).
WHAT are the papers
Ummm reread the chapter and the papers are..............No idea.........
I'm not joking reread this chapter and still no idea on the papers are. They are mentioned only at the end of the chapter only.
Still wait for the next chapter to see heh.
As for Twilight and Sunset reactions i think it fits the bill.
I know Sunset learn about forgiveness and on lashing out is wrong.
But after going thru everything she been thru.
With Rainbow's harsh comments, even said out of anger really hurt her.
In the comic Twilight suggested she was asked to try and talk with them and get a chance to prove her innocence in the orginal story.
Sounds like the idea failed, add the fact the entire school must of been treating her like dirt worst then ever, what the others said to her, and what Rainbow text her.
Final bit between Twilight took to long to come herself.
Sunset is going to lash out, she hurt, heartbroken, and betrayed. Thankfully Dagio was there to stop her from doing something she would regretted greatly later on.
Also here the thing the reason what they did hurt her so much she broke down crying in the hallway in the comic, is easy and simple and why she could lash out as she did.
Sunset loves them, she didn't just like them she LOVES THEM!
Think on it, in the third movie she got furious at the human Twilight when she brought forth that giant killer plant by accident, shouting her friends could been killed. she felt bad afterwards of course, but she reacted because Rainbow or the others could of been killed.
it because she loves them so much, that why she could react as she did in this story.
As for Twilight seeing how Sunset was, she was going to get mad, she had a right to get that mad, she could done worst but she didn't.
So she had control still, and Rainbow was asking for the slap by the way
7036912 I never said what they were directly, but I was curious if you could figure it out. Oh well.
7036702
7036955
Yea, I'm in the camp saying those papers are copies of Sunset's and Twilight's book conversation.
Oh now things are getting interesting. Let the guilt of your mistakes eat away at you Humane Five! And you're next human CMC.
But you know the more I think about it the more I'm reminded of this one episode of Malcolm in the Middle. Gist of it: Malcolm reveals embarrassing secrets of his brother Reese and to even things out he reveals not only one of his own but of every single student.
Wild guess (total sarcasm): Twilight's going to give the verbal smackdown to the Humam CMC in the next chapter.
Twi be all like
You had one job
i cant figure out what those papers.iv got fev ideas but i will just wait till you tell us in next chapter
Welp, I was going to comment how much I like how the girls reacted to how they all failed Sunset. How Rainbow almost got her just deserts for being a dirtbag. Not to mention how much Twilight feels responsible for letting a bunch of idiots look out for Sunny simply because of her connection to her alternate friends clouded her judgement.
But what the hell I'll jump into the speculation wagon.
Twilight's papers: Eh, could be all the letters Sunny and Twi sent to each other during the whole incident, but they have access to the book so no. Might be pardon papers to allow Sunset to return back into Equestria without fear of arrest. Celestia's letters begging Sunny to return home to get away from that mess. Might even be suicide letters written by Sunny that Twi was able to find, but kept a secret from everyone.
Only time will tell.
What Fluttershy say: Yesh. Being a quiet person myself, you bottle up a lot of anger until something snaps. I have a feeling the Anon-A-Miss incident made Fluttershy snap and went ballistic on Sunset. Finally unleashing her rage and hate on the girl who once made her life a living hell on CHS. Calling her various names that would destroy a person more so than what the old Sunny or Rainbow could ever imagine. Maybe even admitting she pretended to be Sunny's friend and that she still hates her. Maybe it was Fluttershy that drove Sunset into attempted suicide.
Oh well time will tell. What's next on RWBY (looks at playlst VOL 3) ... Oh ... I heard this is going to be the feels train.
I love this more and more.
I love the reaction of Twilight, it is so realistic , according to this situation.
Yeah, the friendship is magic, but friendship can not solve everything every time,
sometimes , apologies are not enough
This is starting to remind me of a fic I read just after season 1. It was based on Party of One, and instead of holding a party with imaginary friends, Pinkie ended up running away back to her rock farm and jumping off a cliff (fortunately, Rainbow Dash rescued her). I wish I could remember the name so I could find it again, but this seems like the same kind of drama that one had.
7046053 I've read a story similar to that, only it went like this:
Pinkie Pie tried to commit suicide, but Rainbow Dash got her to the hospital just in time. Pinkie Pie then escapes, and Rainbow Dash catches up to her right before she jumps to her death. Pinkie comes back as a ghost, and in a café, makes a heart out of ice cream to reassure Applejack and Rarity.
Rainbow Dash gets mad at herself and Pinkie, and goes of to kill several Diamond Dogs in her fit of anger. The Diamond Dogs declare war on ponykind, but Pinkie Pie, using a unlit torch, is able to stop that from happening. Happy sunshine smiley rainbow candy ending.
If only I could remember the title...
7125839 That sounds a little bit similar to Bittersweet, where Pinkie Pie dies of diabetes. I've never actually read that fanfic, but I have watched the RDP version of it, which was very funny.
7125839 name of story
I still don't think Rainbow's messages were out of character for her.
She's the most temperamental of them, most likely to say stuff without thinking and they already made careless she-demon remarks when they were still on good terms with Sunset.
7043283 That is exactly this, holy crud. I didn't even think about it!
Uh oh. Are we about to go off the rails?
Well that went well
Kinda pushing the blame
