Sunset didn't know why she had ever thought that making a false confession would help her at all.
Word got around that the account had been closed, and though, none of her "friends" had told anyone, they all already wrongly believed it had been her all along.
"What's wrong? Ran out of secrets to post?"
"Maybe someone actually told her it's illegal to post other's personal stuff, and she didn't want to get busted by the cops."
"Principal Celestia ought to have her expelled. We all know this was all her. Why should she get away with it?"
These were only a few of the things that she heard as she walked the halls. She couldn't be with the other five at all times of the day, so the times when she was alone, everybody took advantage of. At one point, she was knocked to the ground by a group of three guys.
"You think we are just going to forget about all of this Anon-A-Miss? This is not over..." One of them sneered, as another reached down and took her by the collar of her shirt.
"Get out of here while you still can in one piece."
"I don't think we should even give her the chance...." The third cracked his knuckles, and drew his fist back.
Suddenly, there was a beep from the intercom.
"Would Sunset Shimmer please report to the principal's office?"
"...Looks like you got lucky this time." He reluctantly lowered his arm, and they let her go.
Sunset, relieved, turned to get out of there, when down the hall, she spotted a familiar spikey haired male leaning against the wall, who seemed to have been witness to what had just happened.
But, rather than come talk to her, he simply turned and walked away.
"Et Tu Flash?..." She sighed sadly, and went the other way.
Upon approaching the door to Celestia's office, Sunset paused, sighed, and knocked.
"Come in." Sunset entered.
"Sunset, please have a seat." Sunset sat on the other side of the desk.
"I'm sure you know by now that Anon-A-Miss closed the MyStable account, but that has hardly done anything to quell the student body's demand for recompense to the one responsible. I can understand why... So I am taking appropriate action if necessary to find who is responsible."
And I just happened to be first on the list... Sunset thought.
"Sunset...Contrary to what everyone else may think of you, I genuinely believe you have changed. There is just too much evidence for that to try and argue against. The only reason I called you here is that the students expect it. But I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
I will ask you, like I would anyone else, and I will take your answer for complete honesty...Are you Anon-A-Miss?"
Sunset opened her mouth to say no, but stopped.
She had already made her false confession to the other five. If she were to say no, they would find out sooner or later, and ask her why she had denied to Principal Celestia, or they would tell Celestia themselves that Sunset had confessed to them, and then what would happen?..
"I..."
"Sunset?..." Celestia looked at her worriedly. "It's not you right?... Tell me it's not you."
"It...is." There was a long silence. Whoever Anon-A-Miss really was had just taken what was left of Sunset's heart, soul, and will to go on, and stomped it all to the ground.
"I...I don't understand Sunset.... Why would you do this after...everything? It doesn't make any sense."
She sounded so disappointed. Sunset leaned down and put her head in her hands. She sounded too much like her mentor in Equestria for her to bear it.
"Sunset, I...I really have no other choice...You are expelled from being my student."
With that, the tears burst forth. This was Equestria all over again.
"You...You can clean out your locker..." Celestia said quietly. Sunset knew that was a dismissal... a final dismissal. She got up and left without another word.
"While she was cleaning her locker out, Dash came out of her class.
"Hey skipper. Skippin?" She greeted.
Sunset sighed. "No Dash."
"Really? Don't you have class right now?"
"Not anymore..."
"What do you mean?"
"I got called to Celestia's office...I'm done." She put the last book in her backpack.
"Done, as in?..."
"Done, as in done. I got expelled."
"You...Is this about Anon-A-Miss?"
"please don't bring it up right now..."
"...Maybe we could-"
"Don't bother. I'm getting physical threats here anyway. Probably best that I leave..."
"Where will you go?.."
"...Back."
"...Back?..." Dash repeated, afraid of the answer.
"Back." Sunset confirmed. "To Equestria."
"You...You're leaving?..."
"I got nothing else here." She picked up her backpack.
"You'll come back though, right?...Every so often?"
"....I honestly don't know." Sunset turned and walked away.
"What about us? We're your friends!" Sunset didn't stop. Friends?...She wasn't sure she even knew the meaning of the word anymore.
Once outside, she took out her journal.
Twilight, you know how you told me to find my family the last time we talked?
I think I finally know who they are...
With that, she picked up her backpack, and went through the portal.
poor sunset
hope to see another chapter soon
Always nice to see one of your works updated, CK. Are you planning on taking this somewhere or do you just plan on wrapping it up?
Poor poor Sunset.
I hope those brats the CMC are happy now.
I can't wait until those three finally tell the truth and make everyone in school look like complete fools and fill them with guilt.
So Sunset is going back to Equestria. But where would she go after that?
Woo!
Well, all I can say is that I hope the human Crusaders AND the REST of the HuMane 5 will be happy once they find out that their stupidity drove Sunset to go back home (her REAL home) to Equestria.
As to THIS
Gee, Dash, really? You want her to "come back every so often"? After YOU guys basically BLACKMAILED her into a FALSE confession?!
Geez, nervy much?
And then you had the GREATER nerve to say THIS?!
Honestly, there's gall, and then there's GALL!
Also, bravo to Sunset for THIS:
Heh, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when a certain lavender ailcorn princess gets wind of all this mess, and decides to give the folks at Canterlot High a Royal Reaming out.
Don't know if you have that planned TO happen, but I'd love to see it, and for her to say that she was gonna find a way to permanent seal that portal so she never had to go back there.
Hope we get the next chapter soon! This is getting good!

Probably stay with Twi for a bit, I'm thinking.
Maybe because of THIS:
Maybe she's realized that Twilight is part of that family.
But we'll see, I guess.
8038784 Yeah. Those humans may have been dumb enough to fall for it like a bag of canned yams but, that certain lavender ailcorn princess is way too smart to fall for it. And I know she will not rest until she restores balance in the human world.
I really hope this ends with a very angry princess ripping everyone at CHS a collective new one for turning against Sunset. But ultimately I hope it ends in a happy new beginning for her.
Looking forward to more!
8038793 I just can't wait to see them suffer the fury of Twilight.
and then they find out the truth.
Let's see how will Twilight be able fix a broken Sunset.
You know I love how she's not lashing out anyone, but I hate it at the same time. The Humane 5 are F**king morons.
They may of deleted the account but they do maybe have the names of everyone sending them info thier cyber names and real names and everything.
Bull-fucking-shit.
Only good thing to come out of this whole mess. Seriously, they'll only beleive her if she says what they want to believe.
Anyway, give them hell Twi. Hopefully soon.
She has no reason to come back after this, even if the cmc do come clean.
8038816 Indeed.
8038857 Me, neither!
8038977 Oh, that ALWAYS has a VERY nasty habit of coming out when you DON'T want it to, OR when you least expect it to.
Heh, Karma is a very MEAN bitch when she wants to be.
8039459 Very true.
8039711 in this case I hope she's freaken rabid.
8039711 Yeah.
As karma alway said what goes around come around.
I wander if the cmc will get expelled if they tell the truth.
8039877 Yeah, that's me, too, actually.
8040140 Yup.
And indeed it does.
8040144 Oh, I hope they do. I really do.
They more than deserve it after what they did to Sunset. roundstable.com/forums/images/smilies/applejargh.gif
And as to their sisters?
Ohhhh, I shudder to think what the (well-deserved) backlash from THEM will be. roundstable.com/forums/images/smilies/applejargh.gif
(Notice, please, that I said WILL be, NOT what MIGHT be.)
I suspect not three expulsions are coming, but eight, if the truth comes out. The CMC framed Sunset, but it was the Rainbooms who outright blackmailed the victim of the piece into falsely confessing to the crimes of their dear darling little sisters. If this gets into the legal system the big sisters and friends will go down with Anon-A-Miss as active accomplices. Nobody would believe that they weren't in on it after the blackmail comes to light.
8042496 I would like to see that happen.
Wow, what a disaster
She could just say to keep it a secret between them.
Out of all the things that she’s done, that’s what she gets expelled for?
