Aftermath

The sky was dark, and everyone looked at the grave with teary eyes.

Here Lies, Sunset Shimmer

Just looking at it was enough to make everyone weep. Standing in front of the gravestone were Sunset's former friends. Applejack had her hat off and stared at the tombstone with bloodshot eyes. Fluttershy was crying her eyes out. Pinkie Pie's hair was flat and dark, as well as her pink skin. Her eyes were sore and puffy, not only from when Twilight poked her in the eyes, but from crying so much. Rarity was covering her mouth in shock, her makeup dripping from her face. Rainbow Dash, who is now in a leg cast and holding a pair of crutches just look at the dirt ground, refusing to look at the grave.

"I can't believe we did that." croacked Fluttershy, her voice raw from the sobbing.

"Why were we such assholes?" said Rarity, dabbing her eyes and blowing her nose with a tissue.

"What friends are we?" said Dash, "Turning our backs on our best friend without a second thought."

"Rest in peace, Sunset Shimmer. Rest in peace." said Applejack placing her hat back on her head.

The all looked at the grave for a long time saying their goodbyes and how sorry they were. After five minutes of crying Rainbow looked up.

"Why would they do it?" She said, her voice hinting a bit of hatred.

"What do you mean?" Asked 'Shy.

"I mean, why would Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, create Anon-a-Miss and frame Sunset for it."

"Ah just can't believe it; Apple Bloom was lyin' and Ah believed her. Ah'm pratically a lie detector, Ah coulda just looked at the truth in Bloom's eyes. But Ah didn't."

"I hear you Applejack, I can't believe my own sister would do such a thing. I'm so ashamed." said Rarity, stroking her short hair.

Rainbow Dash wiped the tears from her face, she clenched her fists and teeth in rage as her sadness was replaced with hatred.

"This is your fault, Applejack." she suddenly called out. "This would have never happened if you weren't the first person to blame Sunset!"

"We're all to blame, Rainbow; and we're weren't the only ones."

"Oh sure!" said Dash sarcastically. "May I remind you, that you're the first person to confront Sunset in the first place."

"And may ah remind you that you convinced us that Sunset was going to be expelled in the assembly."

"Yea, Rainbow" said Rarity.

"And what about you Rarity," said the sad Pinkie, "I thought the you were the generous one. But you were too selfish to even think about her."

"Said the person who made her miserable." That made Pinkie step back in guilt as fresh tears flooded her eyes.

"Stop," said/whispered Fluttershy, "we can't lose anymore friends like this."

"Oh," sneered Rainbow, "now you're quiet. And there I thought that you were going to be the loudest one in the school, after you screamed with joy at the assembly. And you said the worst thing to Sunset, saying that she's not our friend. And wishing that you were never her friend in the first place." She slapped Fluttershy across the face so hard it left a handprint bruise on her face.

Fluttershy began to cry again, collapsing to the ground. Rainbow gave no sympathy.

"Crying won't get you out of this Flutterslut!"

The other Rainbooms ran to aid/comfort the broken girl.

"What the hell Dash!" Said Rarity.

"Yea, Fluttershy's hurt enough already!" said Pinkie Pie.

"STOP!" Applejack screamed out, "IT'S OUR FAULT! WE'VE BEEN NOTHIN' BUT SKANKS TO SUNSET, AND ONLY BECAUSE WE'VE LOOKED AT HER SINS IN THE PAST! THIS SHOULDA NEVER HAPPENED IF WE JUST LISTENED TO HER IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash looked at AJ, their sadness returning.

"You're right Applejack." whimpered Fluttershy.

"Twilight was right about everything; we're not worthy of the magic of friendship." said Rarity tearfully.

"We're the worst friends in the world. We're no better than the Sirens." sobbed out Rainbow Dash.

The Rainbooms walked away from the grave, going their separate ways and to their homes.

Fast Forward to Christmas Morning

Apple Bloom had pulled herself out of bed. She hadn't got a lot of sleep since she've confessed about being Anon-a-Miss. She felt a sink of dread in her stomach as she walked downstairs to the living room. Right there was her grandmother, Granny Smith, sitting on the couch, with that angry granny look.

"G'mornin' Apple Bloom" she said sternly.

"G-g'mornin', Granny" Apple Bloom said nervously.

"Come here," the woman commanded. Cautiously, Bloom walked face to face to her grandmother, who've grabbed her by the ear. "Ya do know yer gettin' punished fer creatin' Anon-a-Miss," Apple Bloom nodded, "but before we get ta that, time fer presents! Git on mah lap!"

Apple Bloom knew exactly what was going to happen; but she didn't wanted to make this any worst for herself, so she pulled down her pants, (only showing her butt) and knelt down over Granny's lap. Granny herself pulled off her rubber yellow glove revealing her bare hand, and positioned herself.

"Merry Christmas Apple Bloom!" She exclaimed slapping the girl's butt.

The first few were light and bare able, but as the spanking continued, become harder and harsher. Apple Bloom squirmed and kicked her legs begging her granny to stop but she didn't listen; this was the pain she deserved. Apple Bloom on the other hand, was crying her eyes out, blubbering like a toddler, She wished she had never created Anon-a-Miss . Granny didn't stop intil Apple Bloom's bum was red and swollen.

"Now that ya got yer present, time for punishments: Yer grounded 'til the next school year begins. Also yer doin' all the chores and housework yerself for a year. And furthermore, you'll be usin' a flip phone until the police give yer smartphone back. And until ya go ta college, yer banned from the Internet unless it's fer school, even then, we'll be supervisin' you ta make sure ya don't goof off. Understand."

"Uh-huh."

"Good. Now go to yer room and stay there."

Apple Bloom gave a quick nod and shamefully walked upstairs.

"Why did Ah made Anon-a-Miss? What was Ah thinkin'?"

"Ah was about to ask you the same thing, Apple Bloom." said a voice. Apple Bloom looked behind her, and there was Applejack, with the most angry and hurt expression she ever had.

"Applejack!" She ran to hug her sister, but she was rudely pushed away. "Ah'm so so sorry! Ah've never meant tah-"

"It's a little too early for apologies sis!" AJ said coldly.

"Applejack! Ah can explain!"

"Ah'm listenin'"

"Ah, was just jealous that you were spendin' more time with Sunset instead of me! And-"

"Then why didn't you tell me! You'd know Ah'd listen!"

"Well, Ah thought you wouldn't..." Apple Bloom broke down crying as her sister rolled her eyes.

"Just suck it up Apple Bloom, just suck it up. Fer land's sake! Can't you even feel the weight of want you've done. You posted people's most embarrassin' and private secrets, nearly drove the school into chaos, you broke up so many friendships, and blamed it all on Sunset! Didja forget that the #1 rule of the Apple Family: Always Tell The Truth?"

"Yes, but, but..."

"Go on."

"Ah just wanted us to be together again."

Applejack glared at her sister.

"Well, Bloom, congratulations, yer wish is granted."

"What do ya mean?"

"we're spendin' every day, of every hour, of every minute, of every second together. Ah'll be supervisin' you. From now on Apple Bloom, Ah don't trust you."

Apple Bloom looked at the ground with sheer guilt.

Sweetie Belle woke up a little later feeling the same feeling as Apple Bloom.

"Sweetie Belle, come down her please!" said her mother, Cookie Crumbles. Sweetie Belle took a deep breath, mentally bracing herself, and walked downstairs.

"Morning mom. Morning dad." She nervously greeted.

"Take a seat." said her Father, Hondo Flanks, pointing to a chair in front of the couch.

"Here's your present Sweetie Belle. Merry Christmas." said Hondo, handing her a small rectangle box wrapped in yellow gift wrap and held together by a red ribbon. Sweetie Belle was confused, but nonetheless, she ripped it open and saw that it was a black flip phone.

"You might be wondering why you're getting a flip phone. Well it'll be your new phone from now on, even after you get your smartphone back. And also, you're grounded and banned from the Internet for a year." said Hondo, with a scowl on his face.

"You won't believe how lucky you are that Principal Celestia didn't expel you, and you're even more lucky that you weren't arrested by the police, or you'd be spending Christmas in jail." said Cookie, disappointed. "Now go to your room; Your grounding starts today."

Sweetie Belle couldn't believe it, she was grounded on Christmas morning. But then again, she deserved it. On her way to her bedroom, she ran into Rarity who just came out of the washroom, . Her face had no makeup, so it figured she was washing it.

"R-rarity! Are you okay!?" said Sweetie concerned.

Rarity glared at her sister, clenching her teeth. More tears leaked out of her already bloodshot eyes.

"Okay?!" She screamed, "HOW CAN I BE OKAY AFTER YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS CREATED THAT SHITTY ANON-A-MISS! SUNSET SHIMMER COMMITED SUICIDE! AND ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE FUCKING JEALOUS THAT I WAS SPENDING MORE TIME WITH SUNSET THAN YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK I FEEL?!"

Sweetie Belle stepped back in fear as her sister went into her face. "I just can't believe it," said Rarity, "my sister, my own flesh and blood, would do such a thing."

"Rarity, I-"

"Just stop," sighed a disgusted Rarity, "I already know, everyone does. I just, can't be near you anymore."

"What do you mea-"

"Enough. I'm just too embarrassed to even be near you. Goodbye."

Rarity walked to her room and slammed the door behind her, right in Sweetie's face.

"Rarity?" Said Sweetie Belle as she tried to open the door, but quickly found out the door was locked. "Rarity please open up!" no answer, "Please! Please open the door! I'm Sorry!" Sweetie slammed her hands on the door as tears came out of her eyes like a running faucet, "Please! Please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please I'm sorry! Please! I never wanted thing to be like this! I'm sorry!"

Rarity on the other hand just ignored her sister. She didn't wanted anything to do with her anymore. But Sweetie Belle didn't stop, she wanted to make amends with her sister. She was leaning on the other side of the door crying. She cried so hard for the door to be open, but Rarity didn't listen. Eventually, Sweetie Belle gave up and headed to her room, where she laid on her bed crying herself to sleep. "I'm so sorry..." She whimpered, hugging herself.

"And until we can trust you can use the Internet responsibly," said Rainbow's mother and Scootaloo's adoptive mother, Windy Whistles, "you're banned from it."

"And you'll be using a flip phone until farther notice." said Hot Bowhoof sternly

Scootaloo had nodded and headed upstairs to her room, but was interrupted by a sharp pain in her lower back. The impact was so hard she was knocked down to the ground. It took her quite awhile to figure out what just happened. As her back ached in agony she looked and saw an angry Rainbow Dash who had just hit her with one of her crutches.

"D-dash, I-"

"Fuck you!" Dash growled, "You're just a bitch! I can't believe I was stupid enough to get my parents to adopt you!" Rainbow hit Scootaloo's back again.

"Rainbow! I'm sorry! I didn't mean for- OW!" Rainbow jabbed the crutch in Scootaloo's stomach.

"Shut up! You are not my sister! You never were!" Dash shouted, that brought tears to Scootaloo's eyes. "I can believe you actually tricked me and played with my mind!"

Scootaloo was crying and shaking in fear, she never seen her sister so angry before, no one did. Without thinking, Scootaloo did the second biggest thing she regrets: in a stammered tone, Scootaloo opened her mouth.

"What are you gonna do?" Rainbow furiously smacked her left cheek.

"What am I gonna do? I'll tell you what I'm gonna do!" She pinned Scootaloo to the wall, "I am going to make you feel worst than Sunset. Much, much worse. More than you'll ever imagine. I'll make your life a living hell. Just you wait, you ugly bitch."

Scootaloo gulped and feared for her life as her breathing stopped and her heartbeat increased.

'What have I done?' she thought. 'Why did I messed up so badly? Why?"

Author's Note:

I hope this is better.

Good chapter tho rainbow is going way over board near the end but instead of changing it use it to give rainbows a you never learn moment since she's basically repeating what she did to sunset and acting out her rage over not being a dumbass and learning shes the one at fault (since the rainboom didnt have to believe anon-a-miss was sunset its still mostly on them

9299420 I agree with this.
Apple Bloom's and Sweetie's punishments were perfect, but more so their family's actions toward them.
I.E., they didn't go overboard.
(Well, Rarity did.)
(Eh, a little.)

And while I still think it woud've been better to have had Twi take Sunset's body back to Equestria for burial, maybe this was better.
This way, the Rainbums will have bear the knowledge that's she's buried where she is.

And if that didn't make a lick of sense, I'm sorry.

I have to agree Rainbow only repeating her mistakes, and going way to far, she push scoota to taking her own life.
You either change it and tone it down or have her Parents rip into Rainbow harshly and make her realize she only doing things wrong.

Have Rainbow break down crying, and saying how ashamed she is of Scoota for what she done. That be more than enough.
Could have her hear Rainbow sobbing blaming herself over what she done and begging Sunset for forgiveness, that will make Scoota feel all the more guilt fill.

No need for Rainbow to start abusing Scoota like that.

The others were fine, maybe Rarity went a tiny bit overboard but she still reeling from what happened.

Well, at least they're consistent, unlike in some fics. The Rainbooms treated Sunset like dirt over Anon-a-miss after calling her family, but at least they're not giving the actual culprits different treatment to Sunset now they know who's really guilty.
Which doesn't mean that Rainbow doesn't need a boot to the head since nothing short of that seems likely to get her to learn from her mistakes. Being consistent in how she treats people doesn't mean she's actually right in what she's doing.
