‘It really isn’t Sunset.’ Misty sat against her bedframe, face illuminated by her cell phone, ‘Anon-A-Miss’s last post happened while she was in the car with me. She didn’t have a phone on her, I only had mine.’ She sent the texts to her group chat between herself, Surprise and Fleetfoot, and put down her phone, waiting for the replies. She looked over at the sleeping girl on the trundle mattress beside her, shaking her head sadly.
Her phone buzzed. ‘I didn’t see her with it out at Soarin’s, either.’ Surprise responded almost immediately.
‘Neither did I.’ Misty agreed.
‘Guys, I’m pretty sure MyStable has an auto-post feature. This doesn’t really prove anything.’ Fleetfoot’s reply made Misty frown.
She glanced over at Sunset’s form again. ‘Maybe so, but you know she’s from another world like Twilight, Fleet. I’m not sure if she knows how to do that.’
‘But she might. And that’s what matters.’
‘We can’t discredit that she might not.’ Misty said. She paused, preparing for the backlash from her next words, ‘I believe her. She’s not Anon-A-Miss.’
‘Your evidence is faulty, Fly. Admit it. She’s still just as likely to be guilty as before.’
‘No. You would know it if you actually sat down and talked with her. Listen, I know we’ve always had our fun talking shit to each other, Fleet, but I mean this. You have to trust my judgement. Please. This could really hurt her.’
She got no response from the chat for a few minutes, and for a moment she considered telling them about Sunset’s homelessness. Shaking her head, Misty steeled herself mentally. 'That’s not my business. That’s for Sunset to tell everyone, when or if she wants to.'
Her phone buzzed again. ‘Okay, okay. I’ll have a little chat with her.’
‘Thanks for trusting me, Fleet.’
‘Hey, that’s what teams are for, right?’
Misty couldn’t help but smile a little at Fleet’s reply.
---
“Are you sure about this?” Misty asked Sunset after parking her car at the school’s entrance the next morning.
“Yeah.” Sunset had borrowed a typical Wondercolts hoodie from Misty for the day, burrowing her hands into it and pulling the hood over her head. “I need to keep coming to class. They’ll clue onto it not being me sooner or later.” Sunset said, “If I just leave, we’ll never know who Anon-A-Miss is. Clearly, she’s trying to drive me out of school, and I won’t let her get away with it.”
“The posts will probably stop if you leave.” Misty agreed. “I’m just worried for you with our classes being so far and all. Can you make it until lunch?”
“I’ll have to.” Sunset nodded, “I can ignore the glares. I have been for the past four years, after all.” She chuckled weakly.
All eyes were on them as they entered the school, and Sunset saw Misty’s hands twitch ever so slightly. She was staring ahead, mouth pressed into a thin line.
Sunset was fine, for now. As long as we don’t run into any of the girls, I can do this. She told herself, nodding.
“Hey, Sunset!” Sunset nearly flinched; she wasn’t expecting someone to call out her name so loudly in the hall. Not that it gave her away, just that someone would make it so prevalent that they wanted her attention. Surprise approached her and Misty, “Wanna walk to our first class together?” She asked with a smile. The crowd around them looked on in both shock and irritation, but Surprise didn’t seem to care. Or at least, she didn’t seem to notice.
“I… Sure.” Sunset blinked. She wasn’t going to turn down the company, not after the last few days of feeling utterly alone.
“Great! We’ll see ya later, Misty!” Surprise smiled.
Misty smiled back, and her posture relaxed. “See you both at lunch.” With that, she left, leaving Sunset alone with Surprise.
The two girls walked down the hall. “So, Sunset, how was your night?”
“Pretty good. I ended up at Misty’s.” Sunset said.
“Ohh, nice!” She nodded, “Misty’s not usually one for sleepovers. But she has such a big house, so I don’t get why!”
Misty’s home was pretty much a mansion, with a butler and everything. Her father was a politician, and that as much as she’d wanted to believe it, his job wasn’t without scandal. But still, she loved him, and he wanted to do what was best. Her older sister found politics disgusting, the fact that their family money was based almost entirely on it made her sick, and being a daughter of a politician would also mean that they’d make a great tool for political rivals to get at their father. There was a risk of no one being a true friend to them.
Misty shared her sister’s fear, and hid her wealth and background from nearly everyone freshman year. It worked for awhile, but then… She decided to get in Sunset’s way as she climbed to the top of the school.
‘Puh, really?’ Sunset flinched as she could remember her past self saying, ‘This is the idiot standing up to me? A spoiled little daddy’s girl playing tough? I didn’t even need to look that hard.’
What would come next would be a series of Sunset making an “example” of Misty Fly, spilling her secret to the school through the newspaper, and making the girl weary of trusting anyone except her teammates. Sunset had seen it as nothing too earth-shattering to herself, and it wasn’t. Everything pretty much fell into place for her after that. But Misty… Sunset had put Misty in the spot she was in right now.
“-Maybe you should hang out at my place tonight after we all head to Clipper’s.” Surprise continued talking even though Sunset had zoned out completely.
This was getting all too familiar, and it made Sunset shudder, “I’ll… I’ll think about it, Surprise.”
Surprise glanced at her worriedly for a moment, before nodding, “Okay, no big deal.” She shrugged, stopping outside their classroom door.
“Wait.” Sunset said before Surprise opened the door. “Are you not bothered by all this? Everyone’s been glaring at us.”
“Yeeeah, I’m not. They’re all assholes, ignore them.” With a smile, Surprise pushed open the door, and walked in.
Lingering for only a moment, Sunset followed her in. Of course. She sighed mentally, met almost immediately with the glares of a familiar pink-haired girl. Whispers filled the room as Sunset took her seat at the front, and only wavered slightly when Surprise took the empty seat next to her.
“Can you believe that?”
“Isn’t that your cousin, Pinkie?”
“Oh God, does this mean the soccer team’s with Anon-a-Miss now?”
Surprise leaned back in her chair, stretching, “So, have your essay topic picked out, Sunset?”
“Yeah.” Sunset followed her lead, trying to stay as normal as possible and ignore the whispers, “I wanted to start with the 1700’s…”
Class continued on as normal, as normal as the obvious eyes on Sunset’s back could be. Ignoring those stares was easier for Sunset to do knowing that, on occasion, Surprise would look back and glare at the group herself.
It was after class when Pinkie started to approach them, and Surprise motioned Sunset on. “Head to to your next class, I’ll deal with this.”
“You sure?” Sunset asked.
“Pfft, she’s my cousin. I can handle her.” Surprise smirked. “Go ahead. I’ll meet you after my class.”
Sunset hurried ahead, while Pinkie was stopped from heading the same way by the blonde. “Surprise, are you serious?!” Pinkie exclaimed, pouting. “What’re you doing with that… that meanie secret-stealer?!”
“Apparently I’m not being blinded by my ego.” She said, crossing her arms, “That’s really funny, because normally it’s only Dash we have to worry about that with.”
“WHAT?” Pinkie exclaimed, waving her hands in the air. “Surprise! She did this to us, and you’re acting like we’re doing it to her!”
“Because you are!” Surprise replied back sharply. “You can’t tell for sure if she is Anon-A-Miss, but she sure is one easy target to pin all this to, isn’t she Pinkie?”
“We do too have proof! We have lots and lots of it!” Pinkie argued. “Stuff was posted that was only on her phone!”
“Unless the phone was taken.” Surprise pointed out, “And put back on purpose.”
“That’s just crazy! That would mean one of my best friends did it!” Pinkie said.
Surprise frowned, “Really, Pinkie, there’s just as much evidence pointed to any of you as there is to Sunset.”
“Buh-what?!” Pinkie exclaimed again, “Why would any of us target ourselves?!”
“To blame Sunset!” Surprise repeated. “And clearly, it’s working!”
“Y-You’re crazy, Surprise! You’re going to be targeted next, just like we were! Then you’ll see!” Pinkie said.
“...You’re not really helping your own case, Pinkie.” Surprise sighed. “Anyways, cuz, as great as this conversation was, we have classes to get to.” She turned her back to Pinkie. “You really are a coward, by the way. Too afraid of standing up to the masses to speak out for your friend? Man, that’s just sad.” She started to walk away.
“H-Hey! I’m not done with you yet, Surprise!” Pinkie called after her.
“Tough luck. I have a friend to get back to.” With that, Surprise left Pinkie staring slack-jawed at her back.
Face red, Pinkie huffed and stormed off in the opposite direction.
---
“It wasn’t too bad, was it?” Misty asked Sunset as the two of them followed Surprise into the lunchroom.
“Not as much as I thought,” Sunset admitted, having thrown off the hood to the jacket earlier that day. “I have you and Surprise to thank for that.”
“It was nothing!” Surprise grinned, hands behind her back. “Now come on, people! We gotta snag the good seats before Lightning Dust does!”
“I’m… Sitting at your table?” Sunset asked, looking over at Misty.
“Of course.” Misty motioned to the table in question, where Surprise had teasingly pushed Fire Streak out of his spot. The fiery-haired freshman responded with a gracious shove back.
“Respect your elders, youngin!” They heard Surprise declare as she shoved him again.
“Fuck off, grandma!” Fire Streak grinned back at her.
“...We’re very mature here, as you can see.” Misty giggled.
“Wouldn’t have it any other way.” Sunset chuckled, sitting next to Misty at the end of the table.
“Good, because this just about sums us up about… Like at least 60% of the time.” Misty motioned to the squabbling two.
As Sunset sat, she saw the younger Wondercolts look at the older two in confusion. But seeing as Fleet wasn’t at the table, and the other two seniors making pleasant conversation with Sunset, slowly the others joined in.
“I’m Fire Streak.” The confident freshman introduced, pointing a thumb at himself.
“-Half of the Streak brain.” Surprise cut in with a grin, causing a sandwich to splat into her face. “HEY!” She scowled at the freshman, “That was a total waste of very good food! Think of the children, Half Streak, the children!”
Streak’s expression was sunken somewhere between being afraid and laughing until his sides hurt. The table erupted into laughter instead, as he decided it was the safer decision to look terrified.
“...I’m High Winds.” The other curly-haired girl scooted away from the two once the laughter died down.
“Sup, name’s Lightning Dust.” The blonde said, pushing her way between Streak and Surprise as she sat down. “How’d you manage to get in on the best table?”
Sunset chuckled, “It’s a long story.”
“We’ll tell you if you’ll meet us at Clipper’s tonight, Dust.” Misty said with a smirk.
“You know it.” The girl smirked. “Will Cap be there?”
Misty went silent, eyes wide. She seemed to have realized the same thing as Sunset. ...What if Rainbow decided to show up to Clipper’s?
A few tables over, Dash kept her head down, growling and staring at the table across the lunchroom, eyes locked on Shimmer. “What the Hell is she doing with my team?!”
“And my cousin.” Pinkie lifted her head off the table long enough to say with a sigh. Her hair was noticeably flat.
“I mean… seriously?!” Dash flailed uselessly, “They’re going to turn on me like this?!”
“Ah’d think they’re in on this, Dash.” AJ said, finding no other explanation.
“B-But what the Hell, they’re my team!” Dash repeated again, “Why would they-they turn on me all of a sudden like this?! It makes no fucking sense!”
“Oh, maybe they’re just confused?” Fluttershy offered from next to her friend.
“Yeah.” Scootaloo scoffed from the other side of Dash, “Extremely confused.”
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked at each other from next to their sisters, worried glances crossing their expressions.
Scoots caught their stares, nodding sharply at them.
The two nodded hesitantly back, one more “enthusiastic” than the other.
Dash stood, disposing of her tray before storming out of the Cafeteria in a huff.
“H-Hey Rainbow, wait up!” Scoots called, hastily following her idol.
Pinkie sighed as she watched them leave before looking back at the other table. She saw her cousin cross gazes with her, and turn away quickly with a scowl. ‘“You really are a coward, by the way. She sure is one easy target to pin all this to, isn’t she Pinkie?”’ Surprise’s words bounced around in the pink one’s mind.
‘...Something’s dun-doodley definitely not right here.’ Pinkie thought to herself, creasing her brow.
---
Sunset stared silently out of Misty’s car window as she watched Canterlot’s streets pass by her, as much a blur as the speeding snowflakes falling to the ground in the whipping winds.
“Thanks for the lift, Mist.” Surprise smiled, sitting in the back next to Lightning Dust.
“Yeah.” Dust nodded, “Kinda an understatement to say the weather sucks right now.”
“I can’t believe your parents are having you two walk in this mess.” Misty said, peering at the two of them through her rearview mirror.
“Well, my grandfather’s at work late tonight.” Dust shrugged simply, “Can’t wait to hang at Clipper’s until Soar kicks me out.”
“...Are we talking about the same Soarin?” Misty asked with a chuckle.
The rest of their conversation blurred away, Sunset tapping her fingers nervously on the console. Dash could be at Clipper’s tonight. Especially because of how Pinkie saw her and Surprise together in class today, and surely she told the rest of the girls. If not, the news of Misty and Surprise’s openness had surely spread all over the school. ...Who knew what that crazy athlete would do? Sunset couldn’t help but ask herself if there was anything Dash could do to change the minds of those around her.
She looked over, and saw Surprise laughing from behind Misty, holding her sides and giving a confident grin. Looking over to the driver, she only noticed the worried side-glance of a patient Misty Fly. ‘...No.’ She concluded, closing her eyes. ‘No, there’s nothing Dash could say that could turn them against me.’
Misty looked forward, paying attention to the road. She could tell how stressed Sunset was over all of this, and she didn’t blame her. The idea of Dash coming into Clipper’s today meant that they might lose Fleet’s support entirely, maybe even the freshmen, and a divided team never made for a good thing. Still, Misty knew Dash. This girl was no debater, that was for sure. Spitfire and Soarin weren’t going to fall for melodrama from the spectrum-haired teen, either. It all came down to Fleet, really.
The group pulled up to Clipper’s, and Sunset’s heart clenched seeing the place. This was it. Do or die time. If Rainbow was here, she had to be ready to argue against a screaming, hard-headed ex-friend who wouldn’t hear whatever she was trying to say.
Slowly, the door to the guitar shop creaked open, Misty taking the lead, and blocking Sunset from whatever they might find inside, hoping to shield her even a little.
“Mornin, bitches!” A voice called from behind the counters.
“Fleet! Did you skip again?!” Misty’s body relaxed, seeing no one else but the puffy-headed girl.
“Oh, absolutely. Soarin should hire me at this rate.” Fleet smirked, “He can pay me in booze.”
“...” Misty just gave her teammate a flat look as the rest shuffled in, and Surprise plopped herself onto one of the couches in the back. “Hey Sunset, come sit by me!”
With a relieved sigh, Sunset nodded and went over to Surprise’s side. “Thanks.”
“No problem!” She grinned.
“So… Surprise, I wanted to ask you something.” Sunset said after a moment.
“Sure Sunny, what’s up?”
“You seem a lot like your cousin.” As in, a lot. Sunset added mentally. “It has to be bothering you even a little that everyone was glaring at you today, and… thanks. Thanks for it. It took guts for you to stick by me like that.”
“Really, it was fine.” Surprise smiled in a more serious manner. “I know Pinks and I seem alike, but I’m less insecure than she is. I don’t need everyone I meet to like me to feel assured in myself. ...That’s why I’m kinda ashamed of her.”
Sunset blinked, “Ashamed?”
“Yeah, I mean she goes around claiming that she’s all about making everyone happy, and everyone’s her friend and all that… But in the end, she can be pretty quick to drop whoever everyone else does. She’s so influenced by the crowd. It saves her own image, and her own ego.” Surprise sighed, “Don’t you think that’s a little hypocritical?”
“...I could see that.” Sunset nodded slowly, a frown crossing her face.
“She chooses quantity over quality sometimes, and that’s just gonna hurt her in the long run. I love her, and I don’t want her to get hurt… but she hurt you too, you know? That’s why I have to hang around, swat her in the back of the head sometimes when she’s being thick.” Surprise smirked. “You’re cool and nice, and I think she needed to stand by you. ...I won’t let her keep thinking that she made the right decision.”
“That would help.” Sunset agreed with a smile. “Thanks.”
At that moment, Soarin came into the main room of the shop, holding two brand new guitars, “Hey there kiddos! How was school?”
Surprise giggled, “Oh, Soar, you’ve gotta hear this!”
Like the chapter. When I first read the conversation between Pinkie and her cousin, I thought Pinkie was a bit OOC. But the explanation for her behavior you gave later just makes sense with her personality.
On an unrelated note, hope you did well on your finals! (If you already took them, mine were last week)
I hope Pinks can see the truth.....
Now I kind of hope that Pinkie gets around and sees reason. Or to use Surprise's explanation, she sees that following the mass isn't automatically the right way.
8152110
8152040
If so, then this will be the first Anon-a-miss fic where Pinkie is the first to see the truth before the rest of the humane five do. We already had a few with Fluttershy being the first and Hell and High Water by the Sacred Beast had Rainbow Dash being the first.
8152140 Well, it would be the second premiere. I never read an "Anon-a-miss" fic where the Wondercolt soccer-team decided to help Sunset. So Pinkie Pie as the first one -from the human counterparts of the Element Bearer- who would look deeper into the whole thing would be a twist in this trope anew.
8152156 I know but, still. I'm always more interested in an Anon-a-Miss where any of the Humane Five learn the truth before the rest of them who isn't Fluttershy.
8152167 Yeah, fics where Fluttershy -well, as the human Element of Kindness obviously- believes first that this can't be right and doesn't want to believe it are more common.
What wonders me always is that Applejack never seems to see the truth in any of these fics until now. I mean as the supposed to be "Bearer of Honesty"... you would think she realizes that Sunset tells the truth when she tells them that she isn't Anon-a-miss.
I hope the CMC actually get expeled in this fic, and lose all trust with thier siblings.
If the Rainbooms forgive them with theier family crap i want Susnet to explode on them and rip them apart verbally and dump their sorry asses!
8152175 With AJ having made the accusation in the first place, he'd have to step down and admit that she was wrong. That doesn't come easy to someone with a level of pride like her's. Beyond that, she's stubborn to a fault, especially if alternate evidence points to family instead of the likely suspect.
There can be situations where that could work, but Applejack believe in god first is the least likely situation.
Ah the arrogance before the fall. Such a pain to listen to, but hey; the higher they feel, the greater their inevitable fall.
Upupupu...DAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Loved the chapter, just what I needed after the crap afternoon I had, so thanks for posting it now instead of tomorrow! I never thought about Pinkie in this way, but really does seem very logical and very likely a possible motive behind some of her actions. Hope she does come around though, but it looks like Sunset is making a great new group of friends who will stick by her better than her old ones.
*Cracks knuckles* Ahhh... Nothing I like better than coming home from a long day at work to discuss and answer to comments. Let's do this!
8152040
8152110
There was one thing that made me laugh about your comment, Ze1a7in: Pinkie's entire portrayal in the original comic was OOC, to be honest.
But because of that, I've enjoyed writing Surprise during these scenes. I feel like the fandom's forgotten what we learned about Pinkie in "Party of One" and "Cranky Doodle Donkey"; Pinkie feels the need to be accepted by those around her, otherwise... She goes a bit bonkers.
I find that using her more confident cousin as a foil was the best way to get through to her. (Plus, you know, I didn't want Surprise to just be another Pinkie.)
8152140
8152156
8152375
I can honestly say that I can't applaud Uria more for that. He tried so hard to have that be believable, and I can see it.
As far as your conversation about Pinkie goes, the way I see it is that I never judge a character on being "perfectly" loyal, "perfectly" honest, etc. The idea of the elements (in my opinion) comes from what the girls hold themselves to. AJ's awful at telling lies, holds herself to a level of honesty with others, and values that.
As for Rainbow, in her eyes, Sunset's betrayed her loyalty. That's a kick in the teeth for her. She's not exactly blindly loyal, and ahem you may be seeing that come up soon.
8152419
...I hope you mean that directed at the humane 5 or the CMC. xD
8152710
Thanks! I'm glad I could make your day better, and that you enjoy the little character analysis Surprise did on Pinks. As for her coming around, we'll just have to see.
8152185
I can't say too much, but I can say don't expect to see the CMC get off with just a tap on the wrist. They will get the punishments they deserve.
8151702
Yeaah, this isn't exactly the Equestria happy fairytale land, these are humans (sorta.), so the whole "we're family so everything's okay!" shoehorn ending isn't going to work here. The CMC will pay the piper, in time.
8151718
Yes, Misty was the first one to start pointing out the flawed logic of Sunset dumping evidence so suddenly. ^^
And that sounds great! Not a lot of other fics do that.
8152773 I never expected AJ to be perfectly honest or somthing like that. Misjudgements are a part of being human (besides that, "humans" -even in EQG- are not so... naive and peace-loving like the Ponies. Conflict happens easier), there is no thing like perfection. My point was more meant like that Applejack has a bigger connection to knowing if someone is being truthful or not. So I think it's not OOC if at least a voice in the back of her mind is saying to her something like: "That can't be right and makes no sense. Sunset is one of your best friends, why should she destroy your friendship after all this time?"
So yeah, her pride and especially her "family comes first" attitude surely plays the biggest role in her believing that other possibilities than Sunset -who knows as the "only new" person in their circle about her nickname- being Anon-a-miss are unlikely. Still, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities that doubt could grow inside her.
I am amused to see Scoots come off kinda like Wormtongue here.
8152776
Of course! With regards to Sunset in these fics, all I ask for is tjat she never forgets who stood with her and who cast her aside. As for the rest of them well...I'll be sitting with a bag of popcorn while recording the whole thing when the guilt, shame, and despair hits them like a meteor.
8153237
Ah, then I misunderstood your original comment. I see too many fans basing the girls' decisions on "well, she's supposed to be the most loyal/honest/kind/book/whatever".
I agree with you wholeheartedly, I could see AJ fighting with that internal voice easily, but I also see her defending Apple Bloom until she's given complete evidence that her sister's turned on her. I'd see that weighing harder than a little bit of doubt.
8153524
Of course, of course! You'll get plenty of it, trust me. Pinkie was only seeing the first part of it.
8153266
"Get shit on, Scootaloo!" - Uria the Sacred Beast, 2017
8153555
Personally I'd love to see Pinkie take the initiative and at least try to figure out what's going on. Unfortunately Anon-a-Miss like that are really rare and people are instead focused on just-desserts.
8153967
There will be several things at play here, as this is an alternate take on the Anon-a-Miss incident, rather than just an accusation fic.
There will be several layers to this besides just comeuppance (Though there will be consequences).
8152140 Not the first but one of the few that have her and only her. There was at least one where Maud found out what happened and scolded Pinkie for not believing in her friend, leading Pinkie to tell everyone they were wrong.
Fluttershy with kindness is often depicted realizing her tears are real, alot like the Wonderbolts in this one.
Pinkie with Pinkie is usually depicted as just not liking how mean they were and being unsure if she was right.
Rarity with her eye for detail and past experience with the evil Sunset is usually depicted as noticing how blatantly obvious Anon-o-miss is and that Sunset would never be that stupid.
Rainbow with loyalty has in a more recent story been depicted as just believing in her friend for once in her fannon life.
Applejack with her level headedness has been depicted, one time that I've read, stopping the accusation scene and being more reasonable about talking it out.
8152175 A lot of writers avoid the Lie Detector Applejack trope. Some violently so.
8154150
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't one of those writers. AJ's never been shown to be a lie detector.
This is fantastic! I can't wait for more
8154241
Thank you!
i hate to point this out but anything put out against the wondercolts now throws blame specifically on RD and pinkie not on sunset, hell pinkies words to surprise make her primary suspect #1 in the irony the crusaders well only create more trouble for the mane 5 rather then sunset as now the wondercolts are likely to suspend rd by popular vote on suspicion, and even if they cannot i doubt spitfire or soarin well let her cross the doorway until it's cleared up.
8153559
Can't say I see the connection between yugioh and lotr.
8155541
He's another fimfiction writer (and my editor) who I read your comment to. I just had to quote his reaction.
...Still, that was hilarious.
8154404 Why do you hate to point that out? That is the point.
8156021
Fair enough.
Im happy about this chApter.
Cant wait for the next one and this and some of the comments inspire a few scenes in my stories~
8159541
Thanks, hope your own stories are doing well!
I'm enjoying this so far; it's an unusual friendship pairing, but it's good seeing the Wonderbolts from that angle.
Good job
It seems like the 'Humane' 5 are jumping to conclusions again without getting evidence. Nice work, by the way! I can't wait for the next chapter! (I also can't wait for the moment when the 'Humane' 5 (and the rest of the school) realize they were wrong.)
Also, I never liked the view of the Wonderbolts as CHS' sports team, as it seemed such a step down from their celebrity status in Equestria. But then I came to realise that it's not just a human parallel world of Equestria, it's that CHS specifically is the parallel, and a notorious enemy who crops up once every three seasons in Equestria is just a classmate the heroes don't really get on with, with Celestia as the all-powerful principal and Crystal Prep as a rival school within the same city.
So in that context, it completely works that the Wonderbolts would be the sports team, giving them a bit of celebrity status within the school itself.
please tell me this is the fimfic that Sunset leaves the Humane 5 for f*cking good!
8197668 Um, UM TOO BIG HELP
I think it has potential, will keep an eye on this :)
8202261
Dude, eat your Snickers.
A++
I don't quite buy that for Pinkie, but then again, it's not pony Pinkie. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
*Wary. "Weary" means tired, fatigued; "wary" means cautious, not automatically trusting.
Considering the pony-Pinkie kept badgering Cranky and the Yaks, from memory, since they didn't immediately become friends...this is very believable.
Not to mention Party of One...
