The fact that the school secretary had collected Wallflower from class and escorted her to the office worried the green haired girl a lot. Through her own efforts she had been absolutely unnoticed for a very long time. Now a few students had seen her on the way to the Principal. What they would think was anybody's guess.
“Please take a seat.” The secretary told her, shutting the door behind them. She had never been beyond the door before, too quiet and then equipped to wipe any memory pertaining to herself. Wallflower was a little nervous. There were two doors, one each side of the office. Principal on one and Vice-Principal marked on the other. Wallflower turned her attention to her feet, nervous of this new situation.
“Wallflower Blush. Could you come speak with me please?” Vice-Principal Luna was at her office door. She looked her usual stern self, the head of discipline always had a more strict expression.
“Yes'm'.” Wallflower mumbled and followed the darker of the school administrators into her office. The door closed behind them with a thud in Wallflower's mind, not the actual click of a latch returning home.
Looking up again, the Vice-Principal was at her desk. “Sit please.” She gestured to the chair on the other side. One countless troublemakers had sat in before. Wallflower sat and kept her eyes on her lap. Silent.
“I am quite aware that the more magical misdemeanours here are difficult to qualify as infractions of school rules. But there are a few points that align, some of your actions were certainly contrary to the regulations and the rules.” Vice-Principal Luna said, some papers shuffled on the desk.
“Mh?”Wallflower mumbled in surprise, the sound escaping even though she had wanted to remain silent.
“Locking two students into a committee room is dangerous. It is a security and evacuation hazard.” It was strange, Vice-Principal Luna never sounded as, well, sunny as Principal Celestia, but her tones now were actually flat. “If Trixie and Sunset had been stuck in after hours then they would likely have set off an alarm in the building. That would have garnered a police response and a problem for the school.” Wallflower dared to look up, but the Vice-Principal's attention was on the paper she held.
“The other issue being if there had been a fire or other danger that required the school building cleared, those two would have been trapped.” The paper returned to the desk and the Vice-Principal caught Wallflower's eye. “That incident will result in a letter home Wallflower. Nothing too major and only recorded on file as a letter to your parents. Just letting them know you had a verbal warning, less than the response for a fire-alarm pull.”
“I just wanted them off my case.” Wallflower said softly. “I wasn't thinking clearly, I just wanted to keep things like I'd made them.”
“You hurt Sunset you realise.” Vice-Principal Luna said, gently and without accusation. “Quite badly, even if you had not intended it to be as such.” She moved some files on her desk. “I don't know what set off your particular brand of revenge though. I can't find anything focused against you on Sunset's part. She was quite thorough in recording her bad behaviour for us, after the Fall Formal.”
“She never singled me out.” Wallflower said quietly. “And she didn't break up any of my friends. I didn't really have anyone close. But she...” At this Wallflower stumbled on her words. “She went from the biggest meanie to popular and with a group of real friends. How come she got everything turned around so easily? I tried and tried, I took away all the times I embarrassed myself from people's memories. All the stupid stutters and dropped lunches... But no one ever was my friend, I was alone! They ignored me at the yearbook committee and no one ever came to gardening club.”
Hot tears ran down her face and she gritted her teeth in frustration. Wallflower thought she had gotten past this emotion, but it was bubbling up inside her, warm and cold, in-escapable. She gripped at her sleeves and screwed her eyes shut, pushing her fists against the chair.
“Wallflower, its okay. You aren't in trouble. My niece was very adamant about that.” Vice-Principal Luna was closer, but the green haired girl couldn't open her eyes. “Breath in and out slowly okay? I have a fidget cube in my desk drawer if you want it.” Wallflower nodded, after a beat a warm hand was lifting one of hers and she opened her fingers, a plastic cube was placed in her palm and the hand withdrew.
A few moments of feeling the cube, touching the different faces and testing the six functions all served to help Wallflower calm down. “'m sorry.” She muttered again.
“It is alright Wallflower, I believe plenty has been answered for me already.” Vice-Principal Luna sounded a lot more caring now. Wallflower looked up, the blue toned educator was unreadable but there was a softness to her eyes that had not been there before. “I think you will find Sunset to be a very good friend to have.”
Wallflower was observant, she had said the girl's name the same way she had spoken of the niece who had requested clemency for her. It wasn't hard to figure out. “Sunset is your niece?”
“My sister adopted her in the Spring.” Luna allowed. Sunset's friends knew, and the almost burning determination the redhead had in regards to befriending Wallflower, it wouldn't have been long otherwise until the girl knew.
“The Spring...” Wallflower said, her eyes widened in shock as she realised what she had done. “I made everyone forget.”
“Sunset was fortunate that she has a friend elsewhere. She would have been homeless, again, otherwise.” Luna sighed, Luna the aunt, not the Vice-Principal. “You see why I am speaking to you instead of Celestia. This was a pastoral meeting, not one for discipline, but she could not distance herself from events. .”
“I'm sorry.” Wallflower said, “I wasn't thinking.”
“Magic seems to have that effect Wallflower.” Luna said with a sigh. “I'd like you to keep in mind though, that people have to have the chance to remember anything about you to even begin to make friends with you. From what I had gathered, students who shared schooling with you all their life have scant recollections of you. No one is that quiet.”
“I... I had ideas about starting fresh with everyone. Making myself someone cool, someone who could be popular.” Wallflower admitted. “That didn't work.” Her voice was bitter.
“Like I said, give people a chance. Sunset certainly intends to involve you in her life.” Luna was ever impressed by her niece. After the previous week's events, the teen had virtually bounced back.
“I will, give people I chance I mean. I can't exactly erase myself from their memories now.” Wallflower shook her head. The magic had been such a temptation, so easy to use.
“If you ever need someone to talk to, I will gladly help as will the school counsellor. Now, if you need a few moments to collect yourself, you are welcome to remain in the ante-room until the next class.” Luna stacked the files at the edge of her desk. “You can go now, if this is all we need to discuss?”
“That is everything.” Wallflower said, quiet again. “I'm sorry, and thanks.” She saw herself out and Luna leaned back in the chair at the closing of the office door.
This had been a complicated case. She had desired to punish the girl initially, for Sunset's suffering and sadness. Though Sunset had made it very clear she did not want anything that had happened to her be punished. Only acquiescing to the school rules that were broken. Celestia had not been entirely happy, but was proud of her daughter.
Leaving Luna to have to deal with it. She didn't mind covering for Celestia when her sister needed it, but it had been a task to step back and examine the situation as an administrator and not an aunt. Confirming that Wallflower had her own sadness and issues to deal with had made things a lot easier.
The teen was in a situation Luna was familiar with and now she was in a position to help. If only it had not come to light after such a fraught and painful few days for her family. Making a few notes and placing them in a very slim file, Luna left her desk and slid the file into the cabinet. Taking the next one she needed. A teacher's job was never done.
That was good Luna was able to go past her anger and help Wallflower. I guess you are nearing the end of the side stories/extended epilogue so I wonder what is going to be next for this little family?
i dont think sunset should meet her biodad as its honestly not important
on the subject of wallflower yea its clear she had erased her self from every ones memories and as ive said before im positive she has a yandere style crush on sunset
Looking forward to vacation in Equestria the most.
Yandere Wallflower? I don’t get how that can be dangerous.
Looking forward to Sunset meeting her bio-dad.

A yandere basically has the attitude of 'If I can't have you no one can' to a point they're willing to kill the one they love and the people they're close to. In a sense they are pretty freaking dangerous in the right situation, just in case you didn't know
8851579 Now that you mention it, the fact that Yandere Wallflower exists scares me. She can use her nondescript appearance as an advantage.
8851455
I don't know if that's sarcasm or not, but a Yandere can be categorized by the following: Extreme emotions (usually love) toward someone or something, often to the point of insanity; typically has blank eyes; Leaves a trail of devastation (usually physical, but can also be emotional, mental, or sexual) in their wake; Has at least one signature weapon that they use to attack/torture their enemies, whether real or imagined; a mostly moe appearance (cute, huggable, endearing, pronounced moh-eh) that is used to deceive others; will often kill/eliminate in other ways anyone in the way of his/her ambitions. Man yanderes are ax-crazy.
TL;DR: A yandere Wallflower is a very dangerous being and should be very closely monitored.
curious, does that include Chrysalis?
8852118
Now THAT should raise some eyebrows!
Also, wonder if she'd actually be able to changeling herself.
The thing is that Sunset didn't get that redemption and those friendships all on her own. She had the help of others (especially Princess Twilight). So, Wallflower was basically being jealous of someone else without really knowing the full story or what Sunset had to do and what it cost her to get the benefits.
Still, hey: Teenager! No-one ever said they automatically have 'common sense' in their emotional make-up!
Truth be told...this was the smartest way handle Wallflower. Now I admit I wanted to see Celestia tear into Wallflower as only an angry mama bear can, but that's an emotional reaction. I admit Wallflower isn't my favorite villain in EG (sadly, i don't think there have been any good villains since the Sirens) and I wanted to to get her just desserts for changing things up here. Personally, after reading the chapter, I would have loved to see Celestia stepping out of her office locking eyes with Wallflower. For just a moment, Celestia lets her "mama bear" show and Wallflower is terrified. But then Celestia becomes professionals and suggests Wallflower returns to class...which she does post haste.
And that's my 2 cents.
Thank you so much for a new chapter!
Keep going 'cause I'm always happy when a chapter from a great story is released, plus it worth it to wait ^^
All good things must come to an end. Its sad that you see an ending to this (seeing as how much I enjoy) but I get it. I eagerly await the next chapter! :D
when you say"new story", you mean like a sequel to this or a new story with a separate story from this one?
8856740
Don't know yet. I was thinking a whole new and separate story. But if I get ideas in this "world" I would write them.
8857254
was just wondering, either i shall read your next story. it was, after all, your stories that made me give a damn about sunset
Did Celestia and Luna's mother forget about Sunset as well?
Do i see a wallflower x sunset ship in the future? I’d enjoy that
8858221
I am going to say no, she was too far away for the magic. But, as she is in a different time-zone I went with the idea that she did not contact Celestia and Luna within the three day time limit.
8858230
Maybe, but as a separate story if I do.
8857760
I am glad you like my writing. It is a hobby that brings me joy and I simply share them on the off-chance others would enjoy the story. Anyone who converts to the side of Sunset is an added bonus!

Personally seems too manufactured in my opinion. Three makes sense in a sitcom sort of way and one really earnest person also makes sense. Two people with different levels of effort in regards to their affection kinda makes for a psychologically unsatisfactory triangle. Love triangles are at their best when there is at least a hint that either route is equally possible. Just my opinion though, one never knows what twists can follow.
any chance a new chapter of this will come any time soon

I am working on something but never happy with it. I hope to get it done soon.
Basically, in April the company I work for was taken over, and while the work didn't change much, I am getting pretty burnt out on everything due to new methods and co-workers who can't adapt to the new way of doing things.
Fortunately, the contest entry has sparked things off again. So I want to get something new for this by September's end. I am re-reading the work to freshen up my mind.
Stay tuned!
You've watched Fillmore! too? Awesome! It's one of my favorite underrated shows. 😄

Oh heck yeah! I am hoping DisnyPlus might try and entice us with their whole animated series back catalogue, too many good series are unknown!
Forgotten. Boy of boy, that was clearly was Sunset's greatest fear, Wallflower caused more severe damage for your version of Sunset. A strong and friendly girl, but inside she was also very fragile that longed for true friends and a family.
Wallflower's use of the memory stone could be considered an assault on each and every person she used it on. If this was a world where magic was known, Wallflower could have been facing some serious charges. Wallflower had complete control every time she used that stone. I would have liked to see Luna bring that up and then point out that Wallflower is fortunate that the local courts don't recognize magical assault.
8853407
Yeah but you be surprised how many things should be common sense and even adults can't figure it out. The police once arrested a guy for being naked in his hotel room and of course got sued and politely told off by the judge who oversaw the case.
Yep, only she could of all be putting a bad report on her permanent record too.
You could of just spoken louder or talked to someone such as principal celestia yourself.
Not to mention you ruined things so much they could of ended in disaster if not done right.
I still think she deserves a little punishment still for what she caused!

Ditto, I'm glad they added Pepper Ann recently. I hope they add the 'between show' stuff from Disney's One Saturday Morning, like Mrs. Munger's Class.
And I really want them to add the really old shows and specials too, like the original Disneyland (the version hosted by Walt Disney himself; you can see the very first episode on YouTube thankfully), One Hour in Wonderland, and From All of Us to All of You. I think the original The Mickey Mouse Club needs updating (have to double-check, I'm just going by my limited memories of what dad said about it), and I'd like the revivals (1970s and 1990s ones) to appear as well.
At least Adventures in Wonderland is there, a friend of mine and I checked out a few episodes starting last year and found it very enjoyable. I especially like that there aren't any villains, even the Queen of Hearts is good (despite being self-centered at times).
I also like that they added The Muppet Show, it's technically not a Disney show but there are so many seasons that it would be expensive to get all of the DVD collections at once.
