Anon A Miss: A Stupid Mistake

by cornholio4

Chapter 1

Applejack sat on her bed with a depressed and betrayed mindset; she was a laughing stock at Canterlot High. Everyone was laughing about her old 'piggy wiggly' nickname which was posted online by a MyStable user by the name of 'Anon a Miss'. It included pictures that could have only come from Sunset Shimmer's phone.

She regretted giving the girl a second chance but she owed it to Twilight to give it to her; she was the one that brought her friends back together. It was too depressing to think about. All the betrayal that she caused.

Her phone ringed on her bedside table and saw she got a message from MyStable coming from Anon a Miss. She glared harshly at the phone, thinking Sunset was using the account to mock her.

She decided to see what the snake in the grass wanted to say and opened it up.

Hi Applejack, will be home later after I finish a school project with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

She paused, why would Sunset be spending time with Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo. A possible idea came to her mind and she did not want to think about it. She quickly typed a response:

What in the hay are you doing there? Since when do you spend time with them?

She waited for the reply and when it came it pretty much confirmed her fears:

Duh, they are my best friends AJ. You should know who your sister's best friends are. You're silly sometimes AJ.

Applejack was now angrier and more upset than ever. She quickly gathered her phone and shouted to Granny Smith she needed to go and have a long talk with Applebloom. Before leaving she sent a message to Sunset:

Sunset, I am so sorry for doubting you. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you then just name it. Speak to you later once I have a long talk with my younger sibling.

She then marched to Rarity's house where Applebloom and her friends would be spending time at. Rarity answered the door and gasped asking "oh my Applejack, what has gotten you into such a state..."

Applejack wasted no time in giving Rarity her phone and told her to read the messages she was just sent. "Looks like a conversation between you and your sister but..." Rarity stated but paused when she noticed the name of the account that was responding with Applejack.

"Do you think Sweetie Belle is involved?" Rarity hesitantly asked not sure if she wanted that question answered. Applejack gave her a look which pretty much said 'only one way to find out'. They marched to Sweetie Belle's room and opened the door.

"You are really in for it now Applebloom and you have some mighty explaining to do!" Applejack shouted startling the three friends inside who looked like they were planning an event.

"What's the matter Applejack? You seemed fine if sounding weird when we just sent messages to eachother..." stammered out Applebloom but the two older teenagers just glared at all three of them.

"I was confused because of the account that sent the message to me, I was wondering why Anon a Miss would be spending time with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!" Applejack stated quite stern making the trio pause in fright.

Applebloom went to her own phone and sure enough she was still logged in as Anon A Miss on MyStable. "You didn't sign out Applebloom? This ruins the whole plan..." Scootaloo told Applebloom looking quite incredulous.

"Yeah, we were supposed to make sure nothing jeopardised making it look like Sunset was picking on them again..." Sweetie Belle told her only for the three to pause and realise too late that they just outed themselves as co-conspirators.

All three shared a collective gloat, "We are in trouble, aren't we Applejack?" Applebloom asked even though she pretty much already knew the answer before she asked.

Applejack gave out a humourless laugh and told them "trouble doesn't begin to describe it but I think we are owed an explanation why you did this and why you framed Sunset for this?"

2 Weeks Later

Applejack and Rarity called the others and told them what had happened, including a snapshot of the message conversation. Most of them were angry at the trio but saddened when they realised they had blamed Sunset for something she had not done.

They were even angrier when the trio admitted that in their plan to separate Sunset from the rest of them that they were planning on posting secrets that the students would be sending in.

Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had to cater the apology party for Sunset that Pinkie Pie had set up. That was pretty much the most lenient of the punishments that they were given for the stunt.

The stunt got all three of them grounded and restricted from the school computers when they revealed that they were mostly running the account from there, they had to post a video on the account admitting it was them and apologised to everyone.

Since they had not gotten to the stage of their plan where they started posting secrets sent in from the entire school, they ended up being very lucky since it could have gotten worst.

Sunset was hanging out with her friends, they were going on a day out together to the movie theatre. A movie adaptation of the stage musical 'Benny of the Hills' had been released and Rainbow Dash had been dying to see it ever since it was announced.

It took some time before she was able to admit it to the others though.

They had gotten their tickets and snacks and went to the screening room, they had sat down with Applejack and Sunset sitting next to eachother. A thought in her head and Sunset asked Applejack "what do you think would have happened with Anon a Miss, if Applebloom had remembered to log out of the account and go into her own one?"

Applejack grimaced at the thought and told her softly "Best not think about it Sugarcube, best not think about how much things could have been worst?"

Sunset shrugged and let it out of her mind as the advertisements started.

Author's Note:

I had this idea and put it on the forums page. Since no one has written it I decided to try it as a short oneshot.

I wanted this to be a series of oneshots of similar mistakes but I will leave it as a oneshot for now.

If only happy ending truly followed Anon-A-Miss stories..... Still I really like this story, fills the heart with joy and hope for the world.

[everydaygamer]

This was nice. It's always nice to see someone do a happier version of Anon-a-miss.

[River Road]

This was... kind of bland, to be honest. No build up, no real conflict and barely any time spent on the resolution.

It's not a bad idea, or bad writing really... it just feels like you had the idea you wanted to put out there and wrote it out just enough to post it as a story. The last paragraphs especially feel like they were tacked on just to get over that 1000 word minimum and like they barely have anything to do with the rest of the story or Anon-A-Miss.

I'm not going to downvote it since it's not really bad, but I'm not upvoting it either.

Yeah you are right and I do have that problem but I wanted to do this idea

Plus most oneshots I have on ff are drabbles with little conflict

[The Bricklayer]

Honestly, this sorta fell flat in it's execution. I get what you were going for here, but you didn't quite write it as well as you could have. Everything sorta happened too fast for me. No conflict, no real pacing to speak of. It just feels like an idea you put on paper, and a basic one at that. Everything at the end, just feels like it was added just to meet the 1,000 word requirement.

Again i ad trouble trying to think of what to write for this plus I am nto good at writing conflict for my oneshots
So yeah you were right but thanks anyway

[Mother3Forever]

So, what? AB forgot to log into the Anon-a-miss account before posting blackmail?

[cornholio4]

8653244
No she forgot to log out

[Mother3Forever]

8654070
Like what Brianna Wu did when she posted a death threat to herself, but didn't realize she forgot to log into her Sock account?

[cornholio4]

8654081
Never heard of that before

[Mother3Forever]

8654082
Yeah, she made a sock account on steam, forgot to log into it, and sent herself some nasty messages.

[Foolish shadow]

All three shared a collective gloat, "We are in trouble, aren't we Applejack?" Applebloom asked even though she pretty much already knew the answer before she asked.

Good story, if a bit flat.
One thing though, in the above quote I think you meant to use groan as I doubt the CMC would be gloating about this.

[LucarioFan2066]

This is why I only have one account for practically everything, save for email (one trash, one casual, one ex-work-now-for-things-of-higher-importance-than-casual, one work and one university).

[MixMassBasher]

Definitely one of the more funnier alternate endings I've read.

[cornholio4]

Thanks

[WyattS]

liked it but now I'm think ing what would've happened if the original CMC found out and talked to their human counterparts and stuff ensues then after things get messy original rainbow aj and rarity drag them back
just a brainfart/idea

[The Blue EM2]

This story doesn't really work. Not only is it extremely rushed and the pacing is too quick, I really don't buy the idea that AB failed to notice that she was logged into the wrong account. She's not that dumb.

[cornholio4]

Well the whole scheme of Anon A Miss was pretty dumb and so can the trio from the show so I don’t think this is a stretch.

[Magos Xenos Disathairne]

11001393
Are you sure about that? The CMC aren't exactly known for their attention to detail or critical thinking.

[The Blue EM2]

There's a difference between a lack of critical thinking and a blunder like this. The comic and TV shows demonstrate multiple times AB is brighter than this. And why, if juggling accounts, would she use MyStable if she has, y'know, AJ's phone number? Myself and my family members are on various social media platforms and we never use those for telling each other where we are. We do that by text or phone calls. And before you drop the 'what if she doesn't have a phone plan' argument, many apps like WhatsApp require a valid phone number to work properly. The only way to have a valid phone number is to have a functioning SIM card, which needs a plan.

Hi Applejack, will be home later after I finish a school project with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

She paused, why would Sunset be spending time with Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo. A possible idea came to her mind and she did not want to think about it. She quickly typed a response:

She waited for the reply and when it came it pretty much confirmed her fears:

Duh, they are my best friends AJ. You should know who your sister's best friends are. You're silly sometimes AJ.

It took me a while to realize that Applebloom was using Sunset's phone. Yeah you messed up Applebloom
