Aftermath (Edit)
“So, Sunset’s really gone? Maybe it was for the best,” Fluttershy said looking at the ashes of the book
“We automatically accepted the apologies of our sisters, but ignored Sunset when she tried to explain,” Rarity said dropping her head
“Twilight asked us to be her friends and we turned our backs on both of them,” Applejack said
“She tried to commit suicide so many times. Gym was just torture to her,” Rainbow Dash added
“We were really lousy friends. We turned her away when she needed us,” Pinkie finished summarizing everything
“Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, Applebloom, all the of you will receive one month of in-school suspension as punishment for the creation of Anon-a-Miss,” Principal Celestia said
“Yes ma'am,” the CMC said in unison
“As for everyone else, with a majority of the students and faculty taking part in the bullying, you won't be punished. Instead I leave you with this: ANY incident of harassment or physically assaulting anyone will immediately result in suspension or expulsion,” Vice Principal Luna added
Later that day, the news reported the explosion at the house to be caused by a gas leak. Although parts of the timers were found, that was left out and reported as accidental, instead of deliberate. Fluttershy went to the animal shelter only to find a donation of $7,500 was made anonymously.
“I know who did it,” Fluttershy said quietly “Thank you Sunset.”
● EQUESTRIA that same day ●
“Sunset, are you sure you want to do this,” Twilight asked curiously
“Once this happens, the portal may not work the same way again,” Celestia cautioned
“I'm sure about destroying it. I wouldn't return even if they asked. With how I was treated, what do I get out of it,” Sunset answered
“Very well,” Twilight replied
Twilight using her magic to protect the rest of the room from damage as Sunset used her pyro magic to destroy everything related to the portal. With those gone, it was speculated the portal may go back to opening every thirty moons, but no one knew. The next day Celestia happily allowed Sunset to continue her training alongside Twilight.
● HUMAN REALM ●
The last five months of the school passed quickly; but to Rainbow Dash and the others, it was an eternity. They were still ashamed by their actions that caused two friends to leave permanently. Without the book, Twilight couldn't be contacted and they had no idea if the portal would ever reopen.
By the time they graduated, they were surprised when it was announced that Sunset would have been the school valedictorian. Principal Celestia kept Sunset’s diploma along with a photo of the seven girls in the awards cabinet so others could see it.
“I wish Twilight and Sunset were here,” Fluttershy said
“So do I. I would throw Sunset a party for being valedictorian,” Pinkie said
“I wonder if she has, or will ever, forgive us,” Applejack said
“I don't know. What do you think she would go into for college,” Rarity asked
“Who knows. Maybe she would have just headed home? I'm sorry we abandoned her,” Dash said sadly
“Agreed,” the others said
“Let's throw a party to celebrate anyways,” Pinkie suggested
“You're right. Maybe it could help cheer us up,” AJ said
● EQUESTRIA ●
Over the course of nearly six months, Twilight and Sunset finally made enough progress to finish the spell. As a reward, Celestia decided to make both of them into alicorns.
“Congrats both of you. I knew you could do it,” Applejack said
“Darling, I have to ask. Where did those marks come from,” Rarity asked
“For a month when I was human, I was bullied by your counterparts along with the rest of the school. Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo and Applebloom posted secrets under the name ‘Anon-a-Miss’ under the guise of it being me. After that I was assaulted daily with no one wanting to help. I grabbed a razor and started carving my arms, making one a day for the entire month. When the human CMC came forward, I slapped each of them and yelled. The book Twi gave me to contact her was torched along with my house,” Sunset explained
"The Crusaders here did the same thing. They released secrets under the name ‘Gabby Gums’,” Twilight said
“Why destroy your house,” Pinkie asked
“I didn't belong there. True, I lived there for years, but I was considered an illegal alien as all I had was forged paperwork. I thought that by blowing up the house, the last trace of me would be removed. Honestly, I had a thought about just dying by letting the gas end me, while the explosion would destroy the remains. What’s worse, was about now I’d have graduated high school. My grades were high enough that I could have made valedictorian, or top of the school,” Sunset answered
“Well, I'm glad you didn't. Besides, we wouldn't have two alicorns as friends,” Dash said hugging her
“So am I. I wouldn't want to hear that you died,” Twilight said
“Thank you everyone. I'm glad to be surrounded by friends that I can truly call family,” Sunset said as the girls shared a group hug
“Perhaps I can throw you a party to celebrate the two of you becoming alicorns and you being top of your class, vale-what's-it,” Pinkie said
“Valedictorian. And I'd love that. Thank you Pinkie,” Sunset said cheerfully
● TWO YEARS LATER, EQUESTRIA ●
With their friends’ blessings, Twilight and Sunset were married. The portal would be opening soon and Twilight wanted to at least see the school.
“Sunny, are you sure you want to go,” Twilight asked
“I am. Besides, majority wouldn't recognize me,” Sunset said
“Just remember you two, the portal will remain open for three days only. Whatever you need to do, I'd suggest not staying long,” Celestia suggested
Twilight went first and was glad to see the school. She moved aside to allow Sunset to land without hitting each other. Together they headed inside the school before Twilight stopped.
“Look, that's us,” Twilight said pointing at the picture
“And that's my diploma. I actually would have been valedictorian,” Sunset replied
“What brings you back here,” a voice behind them asked
“Principal Celestia. We wanted to see the school,” Twilight said
“I see that I was valedictorian. Thank you for keeping it,” Sunset replied
“You earned it. I'm sorry about my inaction two years ago. I see you still carry the scars. If you'd like, there are a few people you might like to see,” Principal Celestia said hugging Sunset
“Lead the way, Principal Celestia,” Sunset said
She led the two to the band room where the girls heard music playing. Upon walking inside, the five members of the Rainbooms were there along with the CMC.
“Long time no see,” Sunset said casually
“You're back,” Pinkie said running over to her
“We're sorry for leaving you years ago,” Dash said
“And we are sorry about framing you, Sunset. Can you forgive us,” Applebloom said
“I forgive you. I'll always carry the scars over it. The two of us are now alicorns,” Sunset said
“And we got married not too long ago,” Twilight added
“Congratulations you two. What brings you back,” Rarity asked
“We wanted to see the school. Sorry we couldn't come back sooner, but the portal opens ever thirty moons,” Twilight said
“This is for you,” Sunset said withdrawing a package
Applejack opened the wrappings to find an identical journal to the one that was destroyed. They couldn't believe they had another copy.
“How'd you do that? You burned your copy,” Dash asked
“This is a new one we made. It still links to the book I have,” Twilight said
“Why did you do it,” Fluttershy asked
“Do what,” Sunset asked
“Your house. Why did you destroy it,” Fluttershy specified
“I sold everything nonessential and decided to donate it to the animal shelter as a parting gift. Considering I had near-daily beatings, my mind was in a dark place. The explosion was to have been what killed me, but I changed my mind,” Sunset explained
“I'm glad you didn't. Thank you for coming back,” Pinkie said
“We're probably going to head home tonight,” Twilight said
“Nonsense. We're going to have a party at my house. Besides, you aren't going to be back for over two years,” Pinkie said
That night the seven did have the party with the CMC in attendance to join in. Sunset was glad that everything was back to normal, although she knew the scars would never truly heal.

I like the twist, kr to me it was a twist atleast. The title made me think she was gonna kill herself with an explosion
That was an idea i came up with, but thought against it.
What's that? Another fanfic based on the worst comic related to the EqG universe?
Who could have seen it coming?
8787954
Then why are you wasteing your time comeing here if you dont like the premise?
8787964
And
I found these amusing. Almost like people are getting self-aware. Maybe I will start finding parodies.
8787970
Thank you. Why write what most already know?
8787997
Because the witch isn't dead yet.
Seems to me that everyone who was involved will be emotionally scarred for life, but at least nobody died this time.
Why isn't there a tragedy tag?
8788268
Edited. Thanks for the heads up
The story is written at Mach 6 and took a lot of the enjoyment I would have gotten otherwise if the pace had been slower.
You realize that Twilight was already an alicorn well before the first movie ever happened right? Makes the ending kinda complete and utter nonsense.
8788906
"Alternate universe"
In this story, Twilight was not an alicorn when she crossed over
8789196
It was never stated that Twilight hadn't ascended yet so it leads people to assume that she already had. Just a few mentions that Twilight was a unicorn before the ascension would have gotten rid of confusion. Still it was a pretty interesting take on these events.
8789141
Which conversation, might i ask? And is that a good or bad thing?
Its decent
Just rushed. Like if you took time to write more chapters it would have been much better
the ending doesn't really seem deserved.
8810883
I wanted it to at least end somewhat happily, but Sunset can't truly forgive them. If I added a third chapter, Twilight would be out of character by actually hating the human counterparts for turning their backs on Sunset.
8810916 So, Sunset’s really gone? Maybe it was for the best,” Fluttershy said looking at the ashes of the book and this is why Fluttershy must be slapped
All of the conversation feels really wooden, like they are reading statements instead of talking with each other.
