I narrowly dodged a running Snails as I rolled my eyes. Him and his friend could use to be more careful, honestly.
“What do you girls think this assembly is about?” I asked as I walked down the hall with my sisters, Daisy and Lily. It had been a long day at school and like everyone else, I was eager to get home and start break. I had some beautiful winter flowers in my room to water.
“Who knows?” Daisy shrugged as we entered the gym. “Maybe they will tell us Sunset got expelled?”
“Or maybe that She Demon was actually behind the account and went back to Equestria?” Lily suggested. “They should have expelled her ages ago.”
“I don’t think we will get that lucky,” I grumbled to as we sat in the middle row. “She’s right there in the wings with Trixie and some other girls I don’t recognize. Maybe Sunset will apologize. I won’t forgive her this time around.”
“Well, one is Diamond Tiara,” Paisley said as she crossed her legs. “Don’t know why she is with Sunset. Sunset is most likely a bad influence on the girl.”
I scoffed and nodded as Principal Celestia stopped and talked to Sunset briefly. Why they did this after lunch, I’ll never know. They usually save them for the end of the day. And it’s kinda weird to have on before winter break too.
“Hello everyone,” Principal Celestia said and I folded my arms. “I’ll keep this short and sweet so you all can go home and start break. Thanks to one of our students, we have the true people behind anon a miss and it is not Sunset. Not only was it three girls, it was you all who supplied them with information.”
A few people gave the people around them disgusted looks as Lily leaned back in her chair.
Daisy and I exchanged a confused look as a clone of Principal Celestia in a white dress stepped forward and gazed at us coldly and I shuddered instinctively. She seemed mad and not the type Principal Celestia got.
“Can Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo from the middle school wing join us?” Principal Celestia asked and the Rainbooms stood up.
“Why them?” Rainbow asked and Sunset seemed to say something to the blonde girl in a red skirt next to her and they both laughed.
“Tell them the truth,” the second Principal Celestia said and I gulped. Even the normal Principal Celestia seemed afraid of her counterpart.
“It was us,” Sweetie Belle answered as Rarity gave her a confused look.
“Prove it then!” Watermelody called out and I faintly made out people agreeing.
“The password is ABSCSB,” Apple Bloom said as I sighed, rolling my eyes and pulled out my phone. “Account name is well, yall know it already.”
I started typing it and my eyes widened slightly as I signed into the account as Daisy made a gasping sound and I internally counted from five and presumably, people starting shouting at each other once I hit one.
“She’s telling the truth,” Daisy muttered with a stunned expression.
“Silence!” The other Celestia shouted and I recoiled in fear. “Why did you three do it?”
“Sunset was spending too much time with our sisters,” Scootaloo answered as Pinkies hair deflated and Rainbow gave Scootaloo a stunned look.
“And we wanted them back because we were jealous,” Sweetie Belle continued as Rarity and Sunset both narrowed their eyes.
“So we started the-”
“You were jealous?” Sunset shouted and stood up as I hid behind Daisy’s chair. “The fuck? You ruined people’s lives! You ruined my life!”
“I’m scared. Angry Sunset is never fun,” Strawberry Sunrise muttered as she went pale and Bon Bon nodded with Octavia as the two made themselves seem small. Lyra was hugging Bon Bon as Sunset took another step.
“You were so mean in the past so we thought-”
“You thought I was mean then?” Sunset gave a bitter laugh and the three nodded nervously as Sunset narrowed her eyes again and balled her fists up, stepping closer. “You’re about to see how mean I can get.”
All of our eyes widened in a mixture of fear and horror as Sunset bared her teeth angrily. She sounded exactly how she did prior to the Fall Formal. Derpy and Vinyl were hugging each other in fear. Out of of everyone, those two had been more outspoken about Sunset’s innocence. Sweet Leaves stared down at Fluttershy in shock.
A nervous looking Diamond Tiara and a green haired girl grabbed Sunset’s shoulders as the others stood in front of her.
“Sunset and my sisters counterpart have graciously decided your punishment. We will be naming the other students after break because there is too many to name,” Luna said as she folded her arms. “Changes will be happening after winter break. You all are lucky if we don’t cancel the trip to camp everfree.
I glared down at the three terrified middle schoolers angrily. I had been looking forward to that trip for months with my sisters.
“You can either serve your punishment in a detention center here where it’ll be on your record or as Sunset and my counter part decided, you can serve it in Equestria doing whatever Princess Celestia wants. For your sake, I’d pick Equestria. They are being way more lenient than I would be,” Principal Celestia said and the three looked at each other.
“You have till the end of the day,” Sunset said coldly and turned around. “And then if you haven’t decided, I will pick for you. And you better hope to Celestia it’s not you staying here. If I can, I will ruin your lives like you ruined mine. Almost at least. I have more reliable friends now and a few partners.”
“Come on, let’s go,” Princess Twilight grabbed Sunset’s arm. “We should be headed home.”
“Home?” Fluttershy asked nervously. “You’re going back to Equestria?”
“For now,” Sunset glared at her and the shy girl flinched. “I’m sure you girls will be okay all together. You don’t leave your own behind. Most of the time.”
Rainbow looked away as Carrot Top and Raindrops glared up at us. Those had been our closest friends when they were at school here.
“You’re all free to go home. Enjoy winter break!” Principal Celestia called out as I narrowly avoided a pair of shouting students behind us. “You all have a lot to think about during your time away from school and as my sister said, there’s gonna be a lot of changes. Go to your sisters.”
The three nodded as they walked up to their sisters and Applejack glared at the three.
“Ah don’t even know what to say right now.”
“Worry about that later. We gotta catch up to Sunset!” Pinkie grabbed Applejack and Fluttershys arms, pulling the two along. “We gotta apologize, like asap.”
“Oh fuck,” Lyra muttered as she, Octavia and Bon Bon gave each other worried looks. “Sunset.”
We watched the fiery haired girl leave the room with her friends as I gulped. We should figure out to apologize as well.
For some reason, I didn’t think I would have a decent Christmas break.
Oh gee, you think? This is going to be freaking weighing on your conscience for quite some time. A betrayal of this magnitude is most certainly never going to be able to get cleaned up completely.
This is going to be interesting, however, I would say that, while it will obviously take a LONG TIME, I do think Sunset will EVENTUALLY forgive everyone, but she will never forget
Personally if I was sunset I would lecturing them about how unwilling they were to forgive and wanted to blame everything on her even things that weren't her fault like the fact the girls were fighting during the sirens and if they expect automatic forgiveness when they were unable to give any true forgiveness and talked badly about her behind her back then they better wake up and grow up.
There's going to be a lot of apologies going around and an equal amount of non-forgiveness. Envy is one of the seven deadly sins for a reason and this incident has led to the deaths of many friendships.
Even though the Rainbooms were found not guilty of Anon-a-miss they are still found as the type of people who badmouth others behind their backs and that can have a negative impact on their reputation alone.
Speaking of reputation, the school's reputation is sure to take a nose dive if word of this incident became public. I can almost imagine Sci-Twi staying at CPU and enduring the bullying than transferring to CHS where the students post each others' secrets online and backstab each other. I hope the principal and VP have some radical changes coming to salvage this mess.
please choose Equestria girls
Sunset was surprisingly tame, though that may be due to Diamond Tiara being there and the promise of having some time in Equestria to cool down. Sunset might not take well to the Rainbooms confronting her in an ambush-apology.
Didn't expect the offer to have the CMC go into Equestria to try and make it up to Sunset and I do see where both Celestias are coming from. Sunset was a menace and endangered everyone but she was given a chance to redeem herself. It would be hypocritical to not offer a similar chance to the human CMC.
The CMC could make it up to Sunset while in Equestria but I doubt that the Canterlot High student body would feel the same. We know that the entire school and the Rainbooms did still hold a lot of resentment against Sunset and they're likely to hold a grudge because of Anon-A-Miss.

At least for her own sake if nothing else.

Exactly

Personally I can see things playing out similarly but with the power of the elements of harmony choosing new owners who actually try to live up to the values they represent instead being hypocrites. Twilight thought they represent the elements because they reminded her of her friends back home but she had barely known anything about them and although they were good in looking out for her that only because they hated sunset most of all . They probably would have shown their true colors soon enough.
And now, we begin the meeting with the particular case of the the student body noticing a second "Principal Celeista" and their Principal in their usual atrie seems to be very afraid of her.
And so, the moment of truth does happen but before anyone could even rage against the CMC, Principal Celestia drops the bomb that they won't be the only ones punished but everyone who shared secrets to the account will be punished just as well, however Is Princess Celestia who gives the choice to the CMC, either do whatever punishment she orders them in Equestria, leave it to Principal Celestia.
If Vice-Principal Luna's statement of better taking the equestrian punishment is something to say about it, it means that (Federal) Law Enforcement will get involed.
Now I just have to conjeture what kind of punishment will be fit for them in equestria that doesn't invole being imprissioned vanished to the moon, turned into stone, being turned to stone in the place where you got imprissioned in the place where you've been vanished?
...Probably something so very mundane and so much mind-numbing enought to be considered mental torture without being actually mental torture, something ruin, despicable, full of hatred and burning rage, something that would make Princess Luna think Celestia is one step away from becoming Daybreaker and be thankful that all she got was being vanished to the moon for a thousand years!
...My bet is that they are to attend in silence the entire duration of Day Court sitting still while being quitet for all the time their break period last as she deal with the Stallion/Marefoals that are most of the time nobility, rich morons that think they can buy the favor of the crown, idiotic con-artist that think they can play Celestia for a fool and give them money to something that they will never complete as they run away with the money, etc; Then make them learn from front to back the entire Equesteian Civil and Penal Codes and giving them tests to see what they have learned.
Exelent Job! I hope to see how the concecuences are going t turn out and how are The Rainbooms going to try to make this up to Sunset.
For those who couldn't wait for the consecuences, Congratulations, things are going to go down and heavy and this is only the beginning!
Granny Smith: Apple Bloom, I am ashamed at your utter stupidity. You shall get no allowance. You shall not leave the house except for school, church, and going to doctors for at least 6 months after you get back from the punishment Celestia is giving you. Just be glad I'm not having my will changed.

Somehow, I can see this being accurately part of the punishment they're going to get as soon as they return from Equestria.
Something else I wanna say, and something I have always felt:
The CMC should NOT have done what they did, but their reasons for being upset were valid.
Yes Sunset's happiness is important, but it isn't so important that you should exclude others. The other girls could have easily asked if the CMC wanted to help Sunset have a good Christmas, or explain the situation.
Like I said, the CMC did a VERY wrong thing, but their reasons do makes SLIGHT sense

First sunset never tried to ignore them she had been making plans to try to friends with them but they decided to hold a grudge about her old self and not even try to talk with the girls about it. Plus it never okay to hurt others just because you are hurting. They in their quest for revenge against sunset for being friends with their sisters decided to a lot of the people around them including their sisters.

I don't mean in this story, I mean in the canon comic, and like I said, I agree that they did not react correctly.
All I said was, their feelings were valid
It’s almost cruel to leave it at that. So many people will spend all of Christmas wondering if one of their friends sent in their secret, and all the people who sent in secrets will just be waiting for the sword of Damocles. Shame for the first group, just deserts for the second.
AJ, RD, and Rarity: WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TALK TO US?
Rarity: You have cost me business, and possibly my entire career.
RD: You got me kicked off of all the sports teams. My life is ruined.
AJ: You tarnished the Apple family name.
AJ, RD, and Rarity: DO NOT SPEAK TO US UNTIL YOU GET BACK FROM EQUESTRIA!
Sweetie: But...
Rarity: NOT ONE WORD! Now leave, lest I be very unladylike and kick you through the portal.
Sweetie Belle has Parents. Granny Smith and Big Mac are heads of the Apple Family. Not too sure about Scoots (varies all over), but whoever her guardians, parents are, don't they get a say? You can't take pre-teens away just like that. Equestria has no formal relations with the U.S. This could get nasty.
Yikes! I feel even more sad for those two, seeing Sunset lose her cool like that.
I'd give them a comforting hug if I was there....
