The Rainbooms sat in Rarity’s boutique, all of them downcast about what had just happened. After all this time, Sunset still wanted to stab them in the back.
“Why in the world would Sunset do any of this to us?” Rarity asked, hanging a newly-made dress onto one of the racks.
Pinkie pouted in the corner.Not even the pink party planner could find a good enough ‘bright side’ to this situation.
“I know! After all of the parties, saving the school from those sirens, even the sleepover we threw for her! She still turned out to be a big mean secret stealer!” She responded angrily.
AppleJack just stared into the ceiling as she leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
“‘Cause that snake never cared about us…” The orange farmer scoffed in a low voice. “She was jus’ waitin’ for the right moment to strike...an’ she took the chance.”
Rainbow Dash finally spoke after stewing in her own anger.
“How much do you guys wanna bet that skank fooled Twilight into thinking that she’s not Anon-A-Miss?” She growled.
Fluttershy shook her head, causing her long pastel pink hair to sway.
“Princess Twilight’s too smart for that.” She mumbled. Angel stroked his owner’s hair, attempting to comfort her.
Rarity nodded as she began to carefully organize her fabric.
“After all, she figured out that Sunset was the one who caused us to fight.” More nods and mumbles of agreement were shared.
Rainbow scowled at the floor. “But what are we gonna do about her? She’s telling everyone’s secrets as we’re talking! We fell for that bitch’s lies for God knows how long! We can’t let the same happen to the other kids!” She said, pounding her fist on the table.
That earned a glare from Rarity.
“Rainbow Dash, while we all agree with your statement, please treat my furniture with respect.”
Rainbow Dash nodded, looking away. “Sorry, Rare.” She sighed.
“It’s quite alright, darling…” She sat down in one of the chairs, taking off her red framed glasses and folding them. “I guess we do need some time to think about what to do about Sunset…”
Pinkie Pie sat up. “What if we let Twilight know?”
Rarity put her finger on her chin. “That would be the best….She is a princess in her world.”
Applejack nodded. “Maybe she could even get her version of Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna. Then they could teach that snake a lesson that’ll actually stick.”
Fluttershy ran a hand through her hair. “But what if she’s really busy with something? It’s like you said, Rarity, she is a princess.” She responded, staring at her feet.
Rainbow Dash massaged her temples. “Well, we gotta figure out something!” The rainbow haired teenager stood up in anger. “If Twilight can’t teach her a lesson, let’s do it ourselves!”
Pinkie had a feeling that Rainbow Dash had something sinister in mind.
Rarity stood up with her. “Darling, take deep breaths. We don’t want you to get wrinkles or a grey hair…”
Rainbow Dash threw her hands up in the air. “To hell with wrinkles and grey hairs, Rarity! Anon-a-Miss needs to pay!”
Fluttershy hid behind her hair as her friend’s rage grew.
Rarity took the moment to glance at the clock. It was 10:30. “We should all get some sleep….” She frowned.
Applejack nodded. “Come on, girls. Hopefully some sleep can help us figure out what t’ do with Shimmer….” She sighed, opening the door. One by one, the girls left Rarity’s boutique, each saying goodbye to their friend as they individually made their journey home.
Rainbow Dash silently began to think about Sunset. How dare that slut take their friendship for granted? To think that she was just playing them all like puppets…They should’ve blasted her with that friendship laser along with the sirens...The sky blue skinned athlete growled, kicking a pile of snow out of rage. One thing was for sure….
“Sunset’s about to get what’s coming to her….”
A familiar sky blue pegasus was resting on a cloud nearby the Everfree Forest. A small smile was planted on her face as she peacefully snored. That’s when a bright light rudely awakened her from her nap. She scrunched her closed eyes, lazily extending one of her wings over her forehead to provide herself some shade. But for some reason, the light grew brighter. She finally gave in, cracking open one of her dark pink eyes glanced around lazily, catching sight of the cave where the Tree of Harmony occupied.
“Whoa….” Rainbow’s eyes widened at the sight.
Flashes of different colored lights were peeking out of it. The speedster’s brows knitted together as she sat upright. That wasn’t supposed to happen, was it? She flew down, cautiously walking towards the tree, shielding her face from the bright light and squinting. One by one, each element flashed dangerously, like a broken machine of some sort. Rainbow heard soft hoofsteps behind her. She turned to see a familiar yellow pegasus.
“Oh...you saw the lights too?” Fluttershy mumbled, worried about the tree’s strange behavior. A familiar white rabbit was sitting on her back.
Rainbow nodded. “You got any ideas about what’s happening?” She asked, looking at the Tree of Harmony again.
Fluttershy shook her head. “No, I don’t.” She stepped closer to her, peeking out between her wings as it kept flashing. “Do you think Twilight might know?”
Rainbow Dash nodded once more. “She might know what to do. If she doesn’t, we can go to Princess Celestia and Luna for help. You should get Angel home before you get to the castle. I’ll go on ahead.”
Rainbow Dash launched herself into the air with a single flap of her wings. She began to make her way over to Twilight’s castle.
She needed to let Twilight know.….Whatever was going on with the Tree of Harmony, something had to fix it...
Twilight had just finished writing to Sunset Shimmer. The young princess had just learned that the five girls she had trusted to take care of her had abandoned her with poor evidence. She could see tear stains on the page that Sunset wrote.
“TWILIGHT!”
The lavender alicorn jumped as Rainbow Dash burst through the door to her room, panting.
“Rainbow? What’s wrong?” She asked, urgently standing up.
“The tree! Something’s wrong with the tree!” The blue pegasus shouted.
Twilight frowned. “What do you mean?”
“It’s going crazy! The Elements of Harmony are glowing brightly! Almost like whenever we used them!” Rainbow Dash explained. “But, at the same time, they seem.....broken.”
Oh dear. Twilight’s eyes widened.
“Do you know how to fix it?” Rainbow Dash asked.
Twilight shook her head. “No. But I think I know what’s causing it.” She showed Rainbow Dash What Sunset wrote to her. As Rainbow read the pages, she grew angry at their human counterparts.
“I can’t believe they did that to her!” Her rage melted as she was reminded of a certain event that took place at a wedding. “Should we go over there?” She asked.
Twilight sighed. “I’m not sure....I just hope that nothing bad happens. I’ll let Sunset know about the tree. She’ll probably find a way to stop this ‘Anon-A-Miss’.
Consider this story being followed
8993794
its not canon?
8993876
if you dont mid where does it say that officially.
Watch this scene
Please tell me a similar scene will happen in the story. I really want one, if not all, of the spirits of the Elements of Harmony to tell the Human 5 girls they are not worthy of not only their power but of the vert trait they represent. How they not only didn't trust their friend but the elements themselves, since they accepted Sunset.
8993922 Okay, for the umpteenth damn time, the folks that run the show have said that the comics are canon in the MLP universe.
And this includes the Equestria Girls ones.
I just wish people would get this, accept it, and move the buck on!
Sheesh!
Also.........
8993794
Because if they're done well, they're just as welcome as any other MLP story.
Also, I don't think I've ever read one where the Tree of Harmony itself gets involved in things where Anon-a-Miss is concerned, and I plan on following this one closely.
8994039
yes well until they bring it up in the show itself its not canon to me.
8994031
Something similar, but I can't tell you guys a whole lot of it.
But as you guys can tell, the Tree of Harmony will be involved. I'll try to leave it at that.
I'm currently working on Chapter Two, though.
8994120 Okay, then.
To each their own.
8994297
Dude as much as you may hate or at least get annoyed by Anon a Miss stories i doubt they are going away anytime soon. I hate stories were characters are screw over/betrayed/abandoned by their supposed loved ones especially ones where it came out of nowhere and was just added to drive the main character away from their current home or create drama/conflict.
I see that in stories about Sailor Moon, DBZ (case in point Gohan's 2nd Chance), Pokemon (There's one on this site I think) and Naruto (god lord there is a ton of Naruto fanfiction that have him being betrayed, it's like it's an addiction of some kind)
Note the other thing bugs me along with the betrayal stories are the ones where a character, again a lot of them seem to be about Naruto, being send to another world with seemingly no way of returning and accepting it. I swear to god you can browse through the Naruto crossover section on FF.net and within less then 15 minutes you would come across at least a few dozen stories that involve Naruto being betrayed or sent to another world.
I cringe everytime I come across one, new or updated, but I know they are not going to stop anytime soon. However they do make other fresher and more creative stories stand out more.
Plus if you want to blame someone for all the Anon a Miss stories then blame the writer. He gave fans a reason to bash the Rainbooms more then their treatment of Sunset and how they acted during Rainbow Rocks.
8994208
Dude all I want is for a scene like this playing out:
Spirit of Loyalty: Rainbow you're supposed to be the loyal friend, the one who will stick by her friends no matter what, help them when they are in trouble and stop them when they are causing it! If Sunset really is returning to the darkness then you should have given her your hand to pull her out, not turn your back on her and let her suffer alone in it! Rainbow your suppose to be loyal enough to help save a friend from themselves, even if you think they hurt you first, if you aren't willing to do that then you have no right to call yourself loyal at all! YOU ARE THE TRAITOR HERE NOT SUNSET!!
Rainbow: SHUT UP!!!
Something like that.
8994776
It will.
Although, the spirits will have the “I’m not mad, just extremely disappointed, like, how did you even manage to do this?” attitude.
I think they might even bring up The Canterlot Wedding event.
Complaining about anon-a-miss fics isn't going to prevent any writer from posting them.
Stop bashing in the comments, ignore them and move on
8993922
*holds up Infinity Gauntlet in a snap position*Fall silent, fool!
8994297 Um, okay.
Look, when I answered you yesterday, my reply was short and to the point, and as far as I was concerned, our conversation on this subject was over.
Done.
Finito.
But it seems it wasn't on your end, so okay.
Let me say this: writers write what they like and want to write (I know that I do), readers like what they like (same with me), and that's all there is to it.
You're NOT going to change their minds on that, I'm afraid.
And if they like to read and write Anon-a-Miss fics?
Well, you're not going to change their minds on that either.
Also, what gives you, or anyone else, for that matter, the right to tell authors (like Diamond Sword) what they can write, and HOW they can write it?
We write what we like, the way we like.
Period.
And before I close this, I have I wonder, if you DON'T like stories like this... WHY did you read it, let alone comment on it?
Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
UNLESS it's to just gripe at the author and their story, or whatever.
Okay, comment done, have a nice day.
8994871 My thoughts exactly.
Thank you.
Intriguing start and looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Why do I get the feeling that when the elements get involved, they'll pull a classic Christmas Carol and appear before the Rainbooms while sleeping like Jacob and the spirits did to Ebenezer?
8996060 Ah.
Indeed it was.
Still wouldn't wanna be in human Dash's boots when the Element of Loyalty reads her the riot act, though..........
Alright, everyone.
If you happen to notice that Son Elec’s comments are missing, that is because I deleted them for them.
They sent me a private message apologizing for their behavior and gave me their full permission to delete the comments.
Just wanted to let you all know.
8994811
Sounds good but I prefer if the spirits showed some anger as well when they bring up the Human 5's lack of faith in Sunset and in each other as well, when Sunset broke them up, and in the elements themselves.
But especially when they tell the girls they don't deserve them and the traits they represent and failed themselves when they turned their back in Sunset. A part of being a friend is sticking by them when things get tough, especially when you may think they are causing trouble or are about to, as her friends the Rainbooms should have gone out of their way to stop her and keep her from falling back into the darkness.
BTW: Anon a Miss always makes me think about Naruto and Sasuke.
8994039
uh can you show a link, forgive me if I don't believe you
8996931
I'll try to add some anger in their dialogue.
Although, I might not go as far as to revoke their powers.
8997047 I'll have to find it again, but I just thought of an example of the connection between Equestria and Canterlot High:
The Sirens in the Season 7 finale.
Okay, we all know by now that Star Swirl banished them from Equestria for all the trouble that they caused (I think they themselves admitted that in Rainbow Rocks), and during the Season 7 finale, it showed Star Swirl and the Pillars (including Stygian) working together to defend that pony village from them.
And at ONE point, Star Swirl opened a portal and sent the three of them through it.... and we all know where they ended up.
NOT in Limbo, like the Pillars and the Pony of Shadows all eventually did... but in the world of Canterlot High.
Also, if you were getting and reading the MLP Legends of Magic comic series, the wording in the description of each issue (as well as the Special that wrapped the series up) said that the comics "were a direct tie-in to the MLP series Season 7 finale".
Here's one of them, from Issue 7:
(Bolding is mine.)
Oh, and here's the cover for that issue:
d2lzb5v10mb0lj.cloudfront.net/covers_tfaw/400/AU/AUG170402.jpg
The Dazzlings, front and center, big as life.
THAT'S conformation right there, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm still going to dig up that link for you, too, though.
8997265
I'm not asking you to revoke their powers, I just want for something similar to what Ling said to Greed, how he angrily told the embodiment of the sin of Greed that he was unworthy of the name and trait if he didn't want to keep everything including his past and friends.
I want for the spirits of Loyalty and Honestly to chew out Rainbow and AJ especially as they take pride in being loyal and honest but in the end they failed to live up to it when they abandoned Sunset.
Sorry to bug you on this it's just that when I think about the What-If the elements talked to the Human 5 about their actions during Anon a Miss I can't help but see they reacting like Ling did with Greed, or the boy in KR Chrome's The Boy at Our Table.
8994039
No they are not.
8997754
It's fine.
8997766 Okay, fine, I give up.
They're not.
Happy, everyone?
I surrender.
I know what I've read and heard, but obviously I'm just too damn stupid to understand it.
End of subject.
I'm done.
Oh, and while I will continue to follow this story ('cause I really like it), and I will be commenting on it from time to time, I will not answering anyone else who makes a comment to me.
This stupid old mare has had enough.
8997827
