Apple Bloom updated the Anon-A-Miss profile, for the final time, then closed her laptop.
As she headed for the stairs, she stopped by Applejack's room.
Peering inside she saw Applejack sprawled on her bed. She looked like she had been crying.
Apple Bloom's heart clenched. "Sis....fer wut it's worth....Ah'm sorry."
She turned and left. She didn't see her sister raise her head in confusion.
She got a phone call just as she was heading for Big Mac's truck.
"What did you do?!"
"It's over Scootaloo. Soon everyone will know the truth."
"They're going to KILL us, Apple Bloom! Did you not see what they did to Sunset?!"
"That's why Ah confessed."
"Why? Why the hell would you do this?!"
"CUZ IT DON'T MATTER ANYMORE!"
"......"
"....Applejack knows, Scootaloo. She told me to mah face that she hated me."
"....How do you know she knows?"
"Why else would she say that? To mah face, no less." Apple Bloom wiped her eyes. "Ah started this whole thing to git mah sister back, and Ah wound up losin' her anyway. And Sunset's probably dead right now cuza me."
She sighed. "Look, Ah didn't mention you or Sweetie Belle. This whole thing was mah idea. As far as CHS is concerned, Ah'm th' only one responsible."
She hung up before Scootaloo could respond. As she climbed into the truck, she turned to her brother and said, "There's somethin' Ah gotta tell you."
Rainbow Dash hadn't slept well last night.
She couldn't stop thinking about....what she'd been thinking about.
At the time, it had seemed like a good idea. A simple idea. Now though....
She saw Lightning Dust and went up to speak to her. "Hey. So....how'd it go?"
"It went well enough." Lightning turned to glare at her, and Rainbow noticed she had a large bandage on her nose. "Of course, you'd know that if you'd actually bothered to show up."
Rainbow nodded. "So...that's it, then."
Lightning smirked. "Yep. That bitch won't be posting anything for a long time."
As she started to walk away, Rainbow felt the need to ask, "Have you seen Gilda ?"
Lightening shrugged indifferently. "Hell should I know? Ya think I'm friends with that skank?" She walked off.
Rainbow sighed, and leaned against the lockers. It was over. With this, the Anon-A-Miss posts would finally stop.
Just then her phone went off. It was a message from.....Anon-A-Miss?!
But that was impossible! If what Lightning said was true, then.....
Out of curiosity, she tapped the Mystable app.
What she saw made her irises shrink to pinpricks.
"Mah name is Apple Bloom....and Ah am Anon-A-Miss. No, this not a joke. No, Sunset Shimmer did not threaten or blackmail me inta sayin' this. Sunset had nothin' ta do with this. Well....actually, she did, inna way, but Ah'll get ta that inna minute.....
An' Ah know summa y'all still don't believe me. That Sunset's somehow coachin' me offscreen.
Sunset Shimmer was beaten up last night.
There's a picture a' her on Mystable goin' around with her beaten to a pulp. It was taken last night. Y'all can look it up fer yerselves. Ah don't know who did this. Ah don't where Sunset is....Ah don't know...if she's even still alive.....sob....
But needless to say, Ah don't think she'd have the energy ta use a phone or computer right now. This was me. ONLY me.
An' when Ah look back, all this started over somethin'....so stupid. Mah big sis an' her friends were throwin' a slumber party fer Sunset, and Ah...Ah threw a mad fit cuz they wouldn't let me come. Ah posted that thing about "Piggly Wiggly" outta spite. Ah thought - Ah wanted.....Ah don't know what Ah wanted.....
This has gotten outta control. Ah never meant fer things ta go this far. Ah am so sorry....to everyone Ah hurt."
Everyone in CHS watched the lastest - and last - Anon-A-Miss video, and it was though a fog was lifted. And as they watched Apple Bloom walk down the hall, her face completely blank, all they could do was stare. There was no hatred, no anger....only disbelief.
"Will Apple Bloom please come to the principal's office?"
Apple Bloom gave a slight glance towards Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, before marching towards her fate.
Rainbow's body was on autopilot. She wasn't seeing or hearing. Only moving.
She stopped when she found Scootaloo, who was backing away in fear.
"Scootaloo....did you help her?"
"...I..."
"Did. You. Help. Her?!"
"Yeah. We did."
They turned to Sweetie Belle, who was staring at the floor, hugging herself.
Rarity was horror-stricken. "Sweetie...no..."
"We're so sorry." Sweetie began to weep.
Rainbow wasn't thinking. She grabbed Scootaloo by the collar and yanked her to eye level.
"Do you have any idea what you've done?!"
"We didn't mean for things to go this far!" Scootaloo cried. "We never wanted Sunset to die!"
Rainbow froze. "...Die?"
"You haven't seen it, have you?" Rarity asked. Upon seeing Rainbow's confused face, Rarity pulled out her phone, found the picture, and held up her phone for Rainbow to see.
Rainbow promptly collapsed to the floor, releasing a frightened Scootaloo.
Sunset ran her blackened fingers over her journal for the umpteenth time. She considered sending Twilight a message, also for the umpteenth time.
In the end, she sighed, placed the book back on the coffee table, and exited her apartment.
She felt no sorrow as she fired a magical blast, completely engulfing the place in flames.
But everyone will still suffer karmic retribution.
I'm guessing Fluttershy did not head to school or at home. She is afraid of what she might do. It would explain her absence.
8333349
Yeaaaahhhh. She, Pinkie, and AJ are feeling....a little under the weather right now.
They'll come back later.
8333359
I bet Applejack gets a message and might reply "I knew all along" when she means she did not know. Fluttershy is probably trying to wash her hands. She can't trust herself. And Pinkie is depressed. Like clinically.
8333361
.....You know, maybe you should be writing this fic.
8333363
I am only offering ideas. It just seems like the thing that could happen and ur on a roll
Umm Sunset, burning down your apartment and walking away will likely burn down the entire building, not that there was any point in it with the supposed nothingness you're feeling. And also if you're unsure about writing to Twilight, send the book somewhere else (maybe give it to Adagio), otherwise you completely destroy any chance of talking to Twilight or going back to Equestria (inconveniencing others completely unrelated to the incident, and probably hurting Twilight and sending her into a panic for the next however many moons)...
Sunset's decision this chapter and her kitten killing last chapter contradict her behavior from the first four. Note, this is really just a nitpick, but it is kind of distracting.
8333376
Technically, Sunset didn't kill that cat. Fluttershy did.
It's amazing how easy it is to justify your actions when you can pin the blame on others.
Or if you've got nothing to lose.
(hint hint)
suggestion have Sunset brainwash the students and staff and have them beat the Mini-Dazzlings (personal nickname for the human CMC) to death
Well, this problem is no longer anything Twilight has to concern herself to. The payback here is so delicious.
8333363
'
Well, I decided to take you up on that and PM'ed you some scenes that you might be able to use. Or revise.
I'm loving the "No one gets a happy ending" thing and I'm hoping Applebloom gets everything that's coming to her.
8333659
Yeah, I don't sorry for her or for any of them. NOT.ONE.BIT. They did this to Sunset. Even ignoring one of the main facts that if it wasn't for her, they would all be the Dazzlings' little playthings right now. So, now they're paying for it. The hard way.
8333359
I'm guessing that's why Applejack won't go to school, because all she can do is lie, that might get her in trouble
8333684
Good. I'm all for the happy ending stuff, but I notice we don't have endings were everyone loses, Sunset wins (just her) or neutral endings
And this is how Canterlot High School will meet its doom, soon enough.
8333713
So says Sunset will win, ...what happens after she finishes her task, what happens when she gotten her revenge...wills he revert back to normal, and take back all her wounds and injuries.
She stands there bleeding and then just drops dead in front of everyone.
8333659
She already has. Sunset doesn't have to do a thing to her.
8333520
Sorry, the CMC will not be dying in this story.
8333896
Persoanlly I say Sunset gets even with everyone else. Rarity, Rainbow, Gilda and so on. For the ones who dragged her to the factory, she should torture them. Once everything is done I say Sunset just disappears
8333953
death's too good for them isn't it?, it's gonna be much much worse
8333949
but that was a fitting punishment for Fluttershy
8333953
Good while the CMC are the oens responisble killing kids a ittle too dark for me.
Plus once words get around and the Rainbooms the rest find out, they be sufferinga fate worst then death.
8333953
Okay, but some of us need a straight EXPLANATION ON WTF HAPPENED!!!!!
8333421
You know the saying.
Mind if I PM you a story idea I had?
Your pass isn't today is it sunset shimmer you have that fish they burned everything from their past both literally and metaphorically congratulations you have officially become a demon
