Sunset Shimmer goes to a couple slumber parties with her friends before Hearths Warming, and then a bunch of really stupid stuff happens.
Thanks to
Tired Old Man and Steel Resolve for their edits and suggestions! And special thanks to Nova Quill/Firimil for the cover art, edits, and suggestions!
At this rate, the girl's gonna die of blood loss before this is over.
Seriously girls, WHAT THE HELL?!

I'm just glad it's a lot easier to cover a comic issue than an episode, even a longer one... Like... I'M going to have several "funny aneurysms" trying to get through this! I kinda wonder if the story was originally meant to take place before Rainbow Rocks... Aside from not having Twilight, everything would make a ton more sense in context.
It’s going to riff all the plot holes of the original comic and the cliches of the stories, isn’t it?

Only unless I Anon-A-MISS a few...
...
...
...
...
ok, what the heck did I just read?
I love it XD
On the one hand, this does feel a tad late, given the age of the comic and that there's actually some good Anon-a-Miss stories out there now.
On the other hand, this was a good start, and I'm already looking forward to more.

Her nose bled bcoz of their stupidity.
A comedic take on anon-a-miss? Sign me the hell up!
8855050
Let’s see how you deal with the Anon-a-mess.

Nurse Redheart: "Don't worry, dear. We have more than enough spare blood for transfusions."
Sunset: "...dare I even ask?"
Nurse Redheart: "I have a deal with our janitor."
Mr. Discord: "On a good day I mop it up by the gallon. Incidentally, your little fountain display earlier already earned me today's dinner. Don't you just love this school?"
I agree.
Not another one of these stupid stories.

I freaking hate the Anon-a-Miss comic, especially since those 5 never actually apologize for what amounts to a massive betrayal of Sunset's trust
8855095
I don't think that kind of discussion really fits here. Both because of the mood of the story and because nothing you say could have half the impact as what the story itself does to the comic.
8855095
Well, you came to the right place, because this story is going to be mocking the hell out of that comic and all of its flaws, and it's written by someone who knows how characters should act.
Sunset is fatally allergic to stupid, eh?
...Amazing she made it through to her rainbow redemption given that she hung out with Snips and Snails all the time.
Hopefully we get cathartic karma.
Wow! Didn’t think you were that stupid, Sunset.
That aside, this was hilarious and I hope to see more of it.
wat
No but seriously nice start, I want so where this is going
What the fuck did I just read and why am I loving it so much?
8855112
That should have killed her a long time ago.
Normally I would skip yet another Anon-A-Miss fic, but I look forward to you applying your brand of insanity to that comic (as well as any divergences your fic take). Poor Sunset, so often it feels like she's the only sane (or at least smart) one in the room/school, and its not going to get any better any time soon.
I'll never understand why they didn't just put the comic in between EQ 1 and 2. Its still a weak story, but with a bit of tweaking, I could see it as an example of Sunset settling into the group.
Sunset: Girls wait!! Apparently those aneurysms I had were out of sheer stupidity.
Pinkie: Wow, didn't think you were that stupid Sunset.
Sunset: AHHHHHH!!! Chapter 9 paragraph 18. Chapter 9 paragraph 18.
Rarity: What's that darling?
Sunset: Happiest. Moment. Of. My Life.
Hands Sunset a sense-beating-stick and matches.
So the legendary justice tackles the comic that ruined the EQG series for the IDW series.
I am SO looking forward to this.
Will it be a prequel of sorts to Sunset Shimmer is Mad About Everything?
8855280
Well, it's apparently just after rainbow rocks, because Sunset is still unsure about her place in life, even if she feels a little more settled. It's got to be before SSiMAE, because she still says she and her mom had a falling out and she's not welcome home.
The Equestria Girls Holiday Special was an awful comic. It actually could have been really good if it just ended after the first slumber party.
Logic.
... the opposite of being smart.
This is very heartwarming. Too bad it didn´t work.
A good story that makes fun of the stupidity of the situation.
I have been waiting for this to happen.
I honestly have to wonder how she can possibly forgive them after this.
I am so glad everything about that comic was declared non-canon in so brutal a fashion as Equestria Girls went on. Because, like Sunset here, I have a very low tolerance for complete and utter stupidity.
8855362
It’s a plot-driven story, not a character-driven story. It’s not even enjoyably bad.
So, really, the comic would have been totally fine. I understand the girls are all high school kids, and we all know how those kinds of people jump to conclusions. But the resolution lacked any of, well, THIS. Sunset logically explaining why they were being unfair and having them repent. Then it would have been a great story, because it'd bury any lingering doubts in the Rainbooms' mind that Sunset was bad
I don't usually put things into my favorites before they're completed, but this is just too beautiful of a takedown to resist.
[EDIT]: Now I blame you for the new spate of Anon-a-Miss fics. There have been at least two others on the featured list concurrently with yours. Hopefully twenty more aren't on the way.
This started off well. I like the idea of someone being medically allergic to stupidity. Of course, if i had that condition i’d Be dead by now.
You know, every time I read stories based on the Holiday Special
]t doesn't need any more time wasted on it. An absolute clustertruck of a story.
caseI wonder if I want to write another story about it. Then I think, nah that sI am looking forward to your unique take on things.

This was beautiful, in a gloriously deranged way. I eagerly await what further stupidity/insanity will come Sunset's way in the future...
8855249
Agreed. Without Twilight and before the battle of the bands, it makes a load more sense. AFTER that, it's just bonkers in the worst way possible.
8855329
I shorthanded Sunset's pleading with the girls but added a little bit to get out the full emotional impact. It's pretty heartbreaking (and even hard to swallow BEFORE the girls starting forgiving everyone who so much as looked after committing horrible, horrible magic crimes) how quickly they shoot her down in the comic
Really hope this isn't gonna be another 'fix fic' that spends the entire time saying "Sunset wouldn't do that!"
Doubly so since Justice's Sunset is typically characterized as just 2 steps away from indulging in old habits anyway.
Eh?
Oh dear.
Rarity, outfits can be cleaned.
That's stupid.
Oh dear.
That doesn't answer the question.
Yup. Pray for Nat 20s, dread Nat 1s.
Didn't know you were that stupid, Sunset.
What? Celestia, it's a school. Even if they WERE, I can't begin to go into how not a single student will care.
I generally never gave a shit about that.
That may be a problem.
Your tried.
Probably.
She has a point.
She's NOT that sloppy, and it's too easy to link her back to Anon-A-Miss.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
She doesn't care, and even if she did, this is a bit petty JUST for that. And if she did want that and went this far, she'd target JUST you.
It's too damn easy, and again, Sunset isn't this stupid.
She has a point.
...
She could have thrown her lot in with the Sirens and backstabbed them last second if she wanted that. And even then, she's want revenge on Princess Twilight.
Yup.
... You're a cunt. That is so beyond retarded I don't know where to begin with you.
And a hearty fuck you to you too! Goddamn, it's a miracle that she even considers them friends after this.
8855329
Most of the comics are awful, especially any involving Sunset.
As a friend of someone who has aneurysms from the source as Sunset, I find this story quite hilarious.
You know, there's being late to the party with your hot take, and then there's arriving the next morning.
The comments, tho...
::sigh:: God, we're still doing this, I guess. Whatever. Personally I always thought the first Special was worse by magnitudes and commended the second for actually trying even if it failed, but my Eternal Waifu wasn't on the line in either of them, so what do I know?
Go nuts defending Sunset's honor or whatevs, y'all.
(The story itself made me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in quintessential apathy. Quite frankly, I'm too old and have seen too many "clever takedowns" of children's material in my lifetime to be moved by them anymore. By all means, get it out of your system--just make sure to have fun. ;))
Sunset shimmer was just an ordinary girl in an ordinary high school with ordinary friends
SS - "None of that is true."
Till one day, after having her friends stolen from her, she discovers she has a special power: the ability to have multiple aneurysms and not die.
SS - "I don't think that counts as a power? I mean, still a good thing for me but doesn't really help outside of the not dieing part. And my friends weren't stolen, they abandoned me."
RD - "Yeah, we just sorta left. Didn't even look back either, just gave a backhanded wave and everything."
SS - "See! Also, what are you doing here Rainbow, you just walked away all high and mighty after yelling at me just seconds ago?"
RD - "Yeah, shame to ruin such a dramatic exit but forgot a book in my locker. Got it now though, so later backstabber hope to see you never."
SS - "..."
With her new found power, she sets out on a quest for justice...or vengeance...justingeance? Wielding two newspapers, Sunday editions, and a red outfit to hide the blood, she'll serve her revenge on the ignorant masses like she serves her attitude: Smok'n Hot.
SS - "I do rock that leather, don't I."
"She's the beauty with the bacon, the pony with the pout; She's Shimmy Sham in her new action adventure 'It's Shimmer Time'."
SS - "No I'm not and I refuse to answer to it."
"Coming to a theater near you...eventually."
Okay, despite this being comedy, this story manages to be somewhat more cruel than other Anon-a-Miss stories I've seen.
Edit: Or at least this chapter came across to me as more cruel than funny.
Also, the HuMane 5 either are the most idiotic and moronic beings I've ever seen or they are downright psychopaths or never really forgave her and just were waiting an opportunity/excuse to ditch her... In anycase, you really have a very distorted way to depict them.
And I haven't been sure how to feel about that since I first saw this "joke" on "Sunset Shimmer is MAD about EVERYTHING".
Anyways, I hope that when things do get better a goddamn miracle happens to Sunset, because if this is just the beginning? She will fucking need it.
Okay, normally I hate Anon-A-Miss fics with a burning passion, but considering how this is meant to be full-blown parody of the entire bout of stupidity that goes on in the comic, and hopefully certain fics as well (Looking at you Dainn), you've caught my interest.
8855044
She could turn into a blood bender to save herself.
Better make that three now. I feel like Sunset's going to have to figure out some way of having the girls make up for their nosebleed-inducing stupidity. I do know that Sunset is DEFINITELY going to make it her mission to berate her friends for not thinking.

Glad to see I'm not the only one reminded of TeamFourStar's Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
