Anon-A-Miss, the mystery person who was spreading everyone’s secrets online, was a menace. Already she had humiliated the five girls: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Unflattering photos of them were posted on the page and thus they couldn’t go anywhere without being made fun of.
And conveniently, Sunset Shimmer was nowhere to be found.
They immediately concluded that Sunset Shimmer was the culprit and went to confront her.
What they would find instead would shock them.

“So, this is the place?” Rainbow Dash asked as they stood in front of the apartment.
“Yup. Got the address from one of the kids who delivers pizza here,” Applejack confirmed.
“Well, now we can give the girl a piece of our mind!” said Rarity.
Rainbow Dash pounded the door.
“Hey, Sunset! Get out here!” Rainbow yelled. “We need to speak to you!”
“Rainbow?” Sunset asked from the other side of the door.
“Let us in!”
“No!” Sunset shouted. “I can’t! I’m sick!”
“Don’t lie to us!” Pinkie yelled, also angry. “We’re all mad at you!”
“Mad at me?” Sunset replied in confusion. “About what?”
“About Anon-A-Miss!”
“What’s Anon-A-Miss?”
“Don’t try to play innocent! We know you’re Anon-A-Miss!” Pinkie Pie accused.
“Pinkie, have you been watching too many spy movies again?” Sunset replied.
“Just open the damn door!” Rainbow yelled.
“OK! OK! I’ll slide the key under the door! You can use that!” Sunset said and the key was slid under the door. This got weird looks from the girls.
Rainbow Dash picked up the key and narrowed her eyes, expecting it suspiciously. She then used it to unlock the door. Surprisingly, it worked.
“OK, now come in! Just don’t freak out!” Sunset Shimmer called.
The five girls entered the apartment. The hallway was rather dark but they bravely went in, further into the living room. Sitting on the couch and facing the TV was Sunset Shimmer as they recognized her head of red and yellow hair. Seeing her, Rainbow Dash eagerly went to confront her as she ran towards her to face her.
“OK, Sunset! You better have a good-!” Rainbow Dash’s tirade came to a shocking halt as her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
“Rainbow dear? What’s wrong?” Rarity asked as she went over and gasped. “Oh my!”
“What in Sam Hill?” Applejack demanded and she too gasped. “Well, you don’t see that everyday!”
“What is it?” Pinkie Pie bounced over. “...Oh.”
Fluttershy soon followed and she covered her mouth and gasped.
Raising her hoof, Sunset Shimmer waved with an awkward smile, “Hey, girls.”

The Rainbooms sat around the living room, eyes never leaving the orange unicorn pony that was seated on the couch.
“You’re a pony,” said Rainbow, breaking the silence.
“Kinda obvious,” said Sunset. “I got hooves, a muzzle, mane and flank. Yeah, definitely pony.”
“Well, we’ve always known you were a pony, but seeing it is believing,” said Rarity. The anger they’ve all felt seemed to have been forgotten, replaced by confusion.
Pinkie went up to Sunset Shimmer and looked her in the eye. She then poked Sunset’s muzzle.
“Pinkie, please stop poking me,” Sunset requested, annoyed.
“Wow, it’s real,” said Pinkie.
“Yes, like magic is real, and now I’m a pony,” said Sunset.
“But...but how...?” Fluttershy asked.
“Don’t really know. I just woke up looking like this. That’s why I didn’t go to school,” said Sunset.
Applejack decided to speak, “So, you haven’t checked MyStable, have you?”
“Well, not really. I was kind of focused on more important things,” said Sunset as she raised her hoof for emphasis. “Why? You guys sounded pretty upset when you were pounding on my door.”
The girls exchanged awkward looks as they recalled why they had come, but seeing Sunset in her current state now cast some doubt on the validity of their anger.
“Well, it’s kind of like this,” Pinkie started.

“Wait, so you all thought Anon-A-Miss was me!?” Sunset asked. She checked the MyStable Page and saw all the pictures, the comments, and was shocked.
“We all thought it was you being up to your old tricks again,” said Rarity.
“Wow,” Sunset uttered. “Seriously, even after I helped save you guys from the Sirens, you think I would do something like this? Really good example of trust, you girls.”
“Hey, don’t blame us! This is exactly like something you would do!” Rainbow defended. “Er...no offense.”
“I’ll take offense,” Sunset glared. “Girls, seriously, if it were really me, I wouldn’t have made it obvious. When I tricked you all, I made sure there was no evidence that led directly to me. Why would I make something that paints a target on me as the culprit? I’m way sneakier than that.”
“You sound proud of that,” observed Fluttershy.
“Well, not anymore, but if I was back to my old tricks I wouldn’t have made myself Suspect Number 1,” Sunset declared.
“So, how come you haven’t heard of Anon-A-Miss? It’s been days,” said Rainbow Dash.
“I’ve been busy,” said Sunset. “It was over the weekend. Twilight invited me to Equestria. She insisted and I had to go to sort a few things out.”
“So you went back to Equestria?” Fluttershy asked in wonder.
“Yeah, I did. I reconciled with my old teacher and we actually managed to talk without yelling at each other,” Sunset smiled. “Just got back last night.”
“So, you’re really not Anon-A-Miss,” Applejack muttered, feeling ashamed.
“Yeah, it’ll be kinda hard to operate a keyboard or phone with hooves, right?” Rainbow remarked.
“Actually, I can do this,” said Sunset as her horns glowed and her phone floated over to her.
“How did you do that!?” Pinkie gasped.
“Telekinesis and levitation are basic spells for unicorns,” said Sunset.
“Excuse me, but what are we going to do about Anon-A-Miss now?” Fluttershy asked. They all suspected Sunset Shimmer, but with the pony-turned-human-turned-pony-again in her current condition right now, they couldn’t come up with any ideas on how to deal with this problem.
“I’m going to need to write to Twilight about my condition. She might have an idea to turn me back to human. You girls just need to figure out who’s really behind this Anon-A-Miss thing and why they’re framing me,” said Sunset.
“Yes, we shall, darling. It’s the least we can do for suspecting you unjustly,” said Rarity.
“Um, Sunset, can I ask you something?” Fluttershy requested.
“Yes, Fluttershy?” Sunset asked.
“Could I...could I...brush your mane?”

The Rainbooms, with the exception of Fluttershy, left Sunset’s apartment together. They all looked upset, but not at Sunset. They were upset with themselves. Whatever vitriol they had just got sucked out of them.
“Geez, this sucks,” muttered Applejack.
“Totally. We thought Sunset was Anon-A-Miss, but now I don’t know anymore,” sighed Rainbow.
“We just have to find out who’s the real culprit then,” suggested Rarity.
“Then Detective Pinkie Pie is on the case!” said Pinkie as she put on a deerstalker held a pipe. She blew into it and bubbles came out. “The game is afoot! Let’s go, girls! Let’s clear Sunset’s name!”
And multiplying like rabbits.
I really like your version.
Seriously, what's with all the anon-a-miss fics recently? There's more being written than usual. Is it anon-a-miss week and everyone is supposed to write one or something?
I really like this twist!
(and thank you for Sunset remind them that if pulled such a move, she would be far more competent on it!)
I can't wait to see the girls's investigations!
This is what I have always said; if anything, the Five would have been her last victims. They would never have suspected her if it was stuff about other students and would have fiercely defended her against accusations.
And thank you for not writing a depressing fic, it was getting old.
I just thought catching the girls off guard with this will help give Sunset a chance. Maybe even suspect the Dazzlings or something.
HAHAHA, I really Like this version. Keep up the good work.
First you had my interest. Now you have my attention.

I read them a lot, and they are always sad and angsty! It needs more of a twist in! A curveball! Hence, Sunset turns into a pony!
Nice to see an Anon-A-Miss fic that's not depressing, angsty or mopey and actually has the potential for some good comedy to it. Unfortunately, it's way too fast-paced.
To sum up this entire chapter without skipping anything: "Sunset, we know you're Anon-A-Miss!" "I'm not Anon-A-Miss, I'm a pony!"
I'll give it a like, because I like the idea and there's nothing really wrong with the fic so far, but it could really use more work on the pacing. Slow it down, build it up, embrace the comedic potential of having Sunset be a pony. Don't just skip over such a huge thing as Sunset suddenly being a pony like it's nothing when it's such rich ground for comedy.
So an Anon-A-Miss story where the Rainbooms actually come to their senses and help Sunset find the true perps? You get an upvote and a fav, my friend.
Pardon for my bad word here but ... THAT WAS ONE FUCKING TWIST... With that said this is a story I got to read!!!!!
I read this whole story before and I greatly enjoyed. I just signed up at this site last month I believe and wanted to comment on a lot of story's I read. Anyway I really like this version of the Anon-A-Miss story as the Rainbooms are not complete idiots like they were in the comic and god I hated that piece of shit comic. It was no holiday special it was just a Sunset torture story and the ending to it was garbage and the writer for that comic was a complete fucking idiot!
Sorry it's how I feel, but again I greatly enjoy this since it isn't depressing and I've been seeing a lot of story's involving Sunset which are mostly dark, depressing or even were the story ends tragically. I like this as it helps with the amount of fan-fics that have too much dark story's for this site.
So the girls confront Sunset but boy do they feel stupid for even thinking that Sunset was being a bully again. Seriously she saved them from the Sirens and they don't even bother to think things through? Like Sunset said she was a lot more cleaver than this. Also she has a right to be angry with them and honestly I wouldn't forgive them if I were Sunset. I also liked how you add that she went back to Equestria to work things out with Celestia.
I wish you would have done a flash back for that. Also Fluttershy is staying behind? Uh-Oh, once she see's a cute animal she gets all goo-goo over them. Liked how Pinkie acted in the end of this chapter. If it's okay with you can I make a story based on this? I did read all this before and I honestly want to try my hand at writing an MLP Fan-Fic since I'm trying to get my creative juices flowing again since I have story's on FanFiction.net but I never wrote an MLP story before. So I figure I try it here. Anyway enough rambling I'm going to review every chapter since I enjoy this a lot. Hope you write another story soon.
Good Luck KR Chrome.
Hehehe, this was great, nicely written XD hahaha
What a
Now this is much better.
A comedic Anon-A-Miss story? If you can pull this off, you will definitely get a star from me.
I really think that they should also be trying to work out why Sunset has turned back into a pony. I'm pretty sure that this is breaking a few of the alleged laws of magic!
i love this already
WTF Pinkie!!!!! I just can't stop laughing my ass off!!!
I LOVE THIS!!! Please make another human world Sunset turned unicorn story again! Please! I LIVED THIS IDEA!!! Great plot story and it’s running smoothly already! I hope you don’t mind if I use a bit of this as an inspiration to a story that I might do. I’ll give you full credit for the idea. Great chapter!

Go ahead
This could be decent, but man, just like the other story of yours I read, the pacing is absurd. There was no opportunity to properly develop a scene or emotions or anything. We just sprinted right on through.
Well this is definitely a new twist to the "anon-a-miss" story I wouldn't have guessed that sunset would wake up as her pony self out of the blue.
