Epilogue: The Long Road of Redemption Pt. 1 (Sweetie Belle)

Author's Note:

The Epilogue was originally going to be one chapter. But due to how long this is, I've decided to divided them up into three Epilogue chapters by each member of the CMC.

Enjoy!

It was late in the afternoon when the final bell had rung for the school. Many students walked out through the main doors and heading outside so they can head home for the winter break, including Sweetie Belle, who was slowly dragging herself with her head hang low. After she and her friends told everyone what they had done and apologized to them from the auditorium, things were slowly going back to normal. While Sweetie Belle still see most of the students with miserable faces, only this time it was out of guilt for their part of the mess, for hurting their own friends and most importantly, for they way they've treated Sunset Shimmer.

Some of the friendships from within the school were slowly restored. Lyra and Bon Bon reconciled immediately after the CMCs public apology and vowed to never to break apart again. Trixie also apologized to Bulk Biceps by giving him a collector's edition of a three movie set of his favorite show as a gift. In turn, Bulk Biceps created a mini night light of Trixie's logo so she wouldn't be scared of the dark anymore (even though it was still embarrassing to Trixie). Big Mac and Sugar Belle went back together after they both realized that this was all a misunderstanding no thanks to Anon-a-Miss. Even Vinyl (DJ PON-3) and Octavia were doing okay despite that their relationship was known to the public. In fact, most of the school were very supportive of their relationship, even Octavia's parents much to her relief.

While the damage was still fresh on everyone's mind, Sweetie Belle was glad to see that everyone was reconciling with each other and that Sunset was no longer public enemy number one. But in turn, everyone's anger was now directly at her and her friends. She couldn't help but shiver whenever she felt someone glaring daggers at her or when she heard hushed insults behind her when they thought that she couldn't hear them. At some point, she thought she saw someone from the hallway was coming up to her with rage in that person's eyes, who wanted to give Sweetie a piece of their minds. Luckily, a teacher was nearby when that happened and glared at that person, causing that student to quickly back down. Of course, that still doesn't save her from all the students anger from one class to another. By the time when school was finally over, Sweetie Belle was mentally exhausted, and that was just their first day after their confession.

She shuddered what the rest of her school days was like after winter break.

Sweetie Belle reached the bottom of the stairs and headed to the parking lot, where her sister was waiting for her with her crossed arms and a stoic expression.

"...hey Rarity," Sweetie greeted timidly.

"...Sweetie Belle," Rarity greeted back, without a trace of warmth from her voice, causing Sweetie to flinch. While her sister forgave her since her confession with her friends, but that doesn't mean that Rarity's anger will immediately go away overnight. When her sister learned that she was the one who posted pictures from their slumber party and putting the blame on Sunset, her sister refused to talk to her for the rest of the day and earlier this morning. Even after her parents grounded her after hearing about Anon-a-Miss, Sweetie still couldn't get her sister's anger and hurt expression out of her mind. Sweetie was starting to wonder if her sister actually forgave her at all. Even if she didn't, Sweetie wouldn't blame her if she ever to decide not to speak to her again.

Even if it hurts so much.

"I would ask how's your day was," Rarity continued. "But by the look of your face... it was anything but good."

Sweetie let out a depressing sigh. "No... it wasn't. Everyone was glaring at me and whispering behind my back all day! It felt terrible!"

Rarity narrowed her eyes. "Well, you girls posted all their embarrassing secrets online for everyone to see for the past couple of weeks, so of course you'll be facing at a lot of angry people! And keep in mind, this is what Sunset had to deal with after the Fall Formal, so it won't be easy! Maybe then you girls will truly understand her better!"

Sweetie Belle couldn't help but feel stung from Rarity's words. She balled her hands into fists and looked up at her sister with a frustrated look. "I know what we did was wrong, but the students from this school were sending secrets to us too!"

"Yes... they did," Rarity conceded with a nod. "And thanks to you three giving their emails addresses to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, those who were involved got punished for that too. Those getting detention for minor offenses... to getting suspended or even expelled for major offenses like that brute Garble."

Speaking of Garble, after their confession, Sweetie and her friends learned a lot more about this terrible bully involving the "crossed-eye" girl. As it turns out, Garble was this girl's ex-boyfriend. From what she heard, when they first got "together," he was using her just to show off to his buds, making her serve all those tasks for him like homework or projects without thanking her and worse of all, he emotionally abused her all the time. Thankfully, she got away from him and then she got together with some other guy who was much nicer and called himself "the doctor" shortly afterwards. But Garble however, didn't take this too kindly. So he sent out a lot of sensitive secrets about that girl and her little sister to Anon-a-Miss as revenge for dumping him. Sweetie and her friends were so disgusted with this guy that he made Sunset (back in her bulling days) an angel in comparison. Thankfully, not only his revenge blew up in his face, but he is going to be facing some serious repercussions, both in and outside of school.

It's safe to say that they won't be seeing him back at school again anytime soon.

"But even so," Rarity continued. "The students who are being punished will also be mad at you for getting them in trouble. But because Celestia ordered the staff to monitor the three of you in and between classes, you should count yourself lucky that angry glares and insults will be the only thing you're receiving from them!"

Sweetie sighed heavily. As much as she hates this, but her sister has a point. She and her best friends couldn't change the past and the damage is done. She had no other choice but to keep going and she hoped, with effort on their part, that many will forgive them in time.

Even if her path is rough from here on out.

"Hey!"

Sweetie looked up to see Rarity, who still had a stoic expression. She then knelt down to Sweetie's eye level. "While I'm still mad at you for what you did to the school, for what you did to Sunset and what you did to me... I could never bring myself to hate you Sweetie Belle. After all... you're still my little sister." Rarity's expression then changed to a sad soften expression, much to Sweetie's surprise. "Although, considering you becoming Anon-a-Miss and tearing the whole school apart... I don't think I did a very good job of being your older sister you wanted me to be. I guess I'm a failure for not being a true friend to Sunset..." A lone tear dripped out from Rarity's left eye. "...and for being for big sister."

Seeing her sister so sad and hurt because of her, it was enough to finally break down from her guilt. Her tears were now flowing down from her cheeks like waterfall.

"RARITY!" she sobbed loudly. She immediately ran to hug Rarity as tightly as she could, while Rarity hugged her back. "I'm so sorry sis! I'm so so sorry for everything!" she wailed as she burried her face into her sister's shoulder.

"I know darling... I know," Rarity whispered as she let a few tears fell from her face, not caring that her tears was ruining her mascara. "And I'm sorry too, for making you feel so alone!"

They stayed together, hugging each other for a long time as if it was an eternally. To Sweetie Belle, she doesn't care. This was the first time they've hugged like this in a long time and she never wanted to end. Sadly, as if fate ignored her pleas, both sisters heard a honk from behind them, which turned out to be car belonging to one of their parents.

Rarity sighed as she stood up and offered Sweetie her handkerchief to wipe her eyes, while Rarity used her second handkerchief for her own eyes.

"Come Sweetie Belle," she declared. "Let's go home and get ourselves ready to head over to Sweet Apple Acres for the Apple's Christmas Party!"

Sweetie Belle's eyes widened in shock. "Wait... I'm invited?"

"Yes. You and your friends!" Rarity answered with a nod. "While you're still grounded, you can still at least have a little fun with us at the party so you won't feel left out again." She then gave Sweetie her teasing grin as they were walking towards the car. "Just... don't post anymore pictures of me wearing my most hideous clothes designs again."

For the first time in a long while, Sweetie smiled happily as she felt her heart filled with joy.

"Deal!"
