Trixie
I rubbed my eyes and stared blearily at the clock on Sunset’s nightstand, straining to read the numbers. Three forty five am. I would be asleep still if I didn’t have to use the bathroom.
I stretched slightly and lifted Sunset’s arm off me that had somehow ended up around my waist, removing her leg off mine as I laid quietly out of her bed and worked my way to the bathroom.
I did my business, washed my hands and started to walk back to her bed as I glanced down at Diamond staring at her phone and sighing, I quietly walked down the stairs to not wake Sunset up.
“What’s up?” I whispered and Diamond, giving me a startled look. “Whisper, Sunset is still asleep.”
“Oh hey Trix. Didn’t mean to wake you up. Just go back to sleep.”
“You didn’t, I had to go to the bathroom. It’s almost four am, why are you awake?” I asked as Diamond shrugged. “That’s not an answer and I’m exhausted so my patience is thin.”
“I guess I’m not as happy as I thought about my parents divorcing. Okay, I’m happy but well, I’m still losing a parent. A shitty parent but she’s still a mom you know?” Diamond explained as I sighed and sat down. “She’s a bitch but well I can’t really explain it.”
“I get it. It’s a complicated thing I imagine. My mom is okay but dad is pretty annoying. He’s a jerk.”
“You know, you’re not as annoying or bad as I thought,” Diamond admitted as I gave her a flat look.
“I’m half asleep still and I’m really not a person who likes being insulted well past midnight. You get me? Now what the hell does that mean?”
“Well, you’re always bragging about how you’re great and powerful. Plus you don’t really seem like the type to talk about personal problems like your family. That’s all I meant. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
I inhaled and shrugged. There was no real benefit in getting angry at a kid, especially one who was under the protection of a girl I liked.
“It’s fine. What were you doing?”
We sat in silence for a few minutes before Diamond finally answered.
“Trying to text Silver Spoon. She’s usually my go to but she thinks I sent her secret in and is refusing to talk to me. Stupid kids.”
“What makes you think anon a miss is ran by kids?” I asked curiously as Diamond went pale. “Diamond?”
“Well, think about it. This is super childish right?”
“Rightttt.”
“So obviously it won’t be a high schooler. It has to be someone in the middle school wing. Someone who is still pretty young to do something stupid like this.”
I paused and straightened my hair a little bit. I never really thought about that before but it did make sense. Hell, I don’t think even Sunset thought about it. It made way too much sense. I would like to think my classmates would but smarter than that but I do go to school with idiots.
“We should tell Sunset when she wakes up,” I mused as Diamond shook her head. “No?”
“I have a plan. Have Sunset, Redheart and Cheerilee be in the library tomorrow. And maybe Cloudkicker, she’s pretty fast,” Diamond said and pushed a piece of paper. “This is a piece of paper Sunset dropped that had a list of names. I narrowed it down for her.”
I picked up the paper carefully and stared at the names of Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle circled in black marker as I gave the young girl a stunned look.
“But they are-”
“Their sisters,” Diamond confirmed. “Think about it, who else knew AJs nickname? Or Rarity’s closet? Or Rainbows secrets?”
“Oh shit.”
“Yeah. Just have Sunset in the library during their free time while I pay a visit to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. Just trust me, they will have no choice but to listen to me.”
I paused and looked at her warily. She seemed surprisingly determined about this. I didn’t really know Diamond Tiara that well. I didn’t really associate with people in the middle school wings after all.
“Okay.”
“I have a weird request,” Diamond said and I gave her a confused. “Sunset is more affection than you I think but can I have a hug?”
“Hugs are reserved for Sunset only. I’m not really affectionate outside of her.”
That was partially true I suppose. Lavender and Fuchsia have hugged me a few times.
“Wait, then those three girls most likely posted Fuchsia’s secret,” I growled as Diamond gulped. “And they’re the reason she is refusing to even call me back. Those little pricks.”
“Don’t yell. Sunset is asleep,” Diamond jerked her head up to the loft where I had been sleeping oh Jesus forty minutes ago. “She isn’t a fan of being woken up randomly late at night and this news would just anger her more. It’s gonna happen after lunch. Just keep up your end of the bargain.”
“Fine. Why did you suspect them in the first place? Why not the idiotic Rainbooms?” I asked as Diamond shrugged.
“I actually did think it was them first before I really thought about it. What would they have to gain posting their own secrets?”
“Getting rid of Sunset,” I said immediately. That was pretty much the conclusion we all came to. “Most likely jealously. Jealous of what, I’m unsure. Most likely because she has Trixie’s eye.”
“Hm. I suppose that does make sense. Just a theory of course.”
“Uh huh. You should really go to bed, it’s late and we have school tomorrow. Or well, today I suppose I should say. Sleep well,” I said as Diamond nodded. “Oh and Diamond?”
“What?”
I hugged her as she stopped before hugging me back.
“Thanks,” Diamond said and rubbed the back of her head after we separated.
“You’re welcome. Sleep well,” I said as she nodded and I stood up, walking to the stairs and quietly going up them.
“Oh hey,” Sunset muttered as she rolled over. “I wondered why your spot was empty. Thought you went home.”
“I was checking up on Diamond,” I said casually and got back in bed. That technically wasn’t a lie either. “And I much prefer here over home.”
“She okay?”
“Not really but she will be I think.”
“Good. Hugs?” Sunset asked hopefully as she placed her arm on my waist and I nodded.
“Sure.”
With a yawn, I closed my eyes and everything went dark as we both fell back asleep.
All things considered, I don't blame Diamond for taking these extra steps. If she hadn't, then the CMC would've deleted their blog and gotten away with what they did.
Her taking advantage of Anon-A-Miss to get back at her mother is a bit shitty but pretty understandable.
I do hope that Trixie and Diamond tell Sunset soon and whatever plan Diamond has is worth it, Sunset would feel hurt if she knew that Diamond and Trixie kept this from her if they didn't have a good reason.
Soon the girls will be trying to fix what they broke. But honestly with people who actually were willing to forgive and think carefully before accusing others would she even be willing to take them back . The rainbooms weren't willing to even consider that sunset might be innocent. Circumstantial evidence said that she might be guilty but then there is motive and the fact that she has been trying to show everyone that she is a change person. And as for a possible revenge motive she could have just left them to the sirens for that. This just hurts her the most and gets her nothing. The rainbooms will have to do some hard thinking. The cmcs once the truth gets out will probably lose the thing they wanted most their sisters because they won't be able to trust them as easily.
Either Diamond Tiara is on her way to become Woman-Do-Well, or there's something suspicious about how did she came up to that suspicion, either those or she's just been reading "The Evil Overlord Manual", specially the part of having at lesst one little kid as one of your advisors, if he point out a flaw or something on the plan that doesn't even make sense, the plan either gets back to the drawing board or gets scrapped.
Why do I have the feeling that Wallflower already have derrailed Diamond's plan in order to make Sunset's life a living hell?
I have the feeling that when the truth on who Anon-A-Miss gets revealed, the Rainbooms will double down on Sunset being behind the account and now using their little sisters as scapegoats despite all the evidence, confessions and even them logging into the account. Hell, they may even proceed to lawsuit everyone who is "setting their little sisters up", incluiding the Canteroot Citiy Police Department.
Of course this acction will go horribly wrong for them, as now everyone will actually know who Anon-A-Miss were and now the lawsuits will come to them like a tidalwave.
Great Job! Let's see what Wallflower has done to escalte things!

Wallflower is working for diamond so it is unlikely that she would mess with her boss. As diamond she is probably working on getting rid of anything that would connect her to anon a miss so that even if the cmcs tattle without proof she has the ability to deny everything. This will lead to the cmcs getting caught and the end of everything for their little game.
