Chapter XLVI
Diamond Tiara
I walked behind Sunset quietly with the others as Sunset balled her fists. I had quite honestly expected her to be much more angrier than she was and I had a feeling if we weren’t there, she would have been.
“I hate to be the one to break the silence but where to?” Wallflower asked finally as we paused outside the Wondercolt statue.
“Got back to my apartment and hang out till it’s night time. The principals gave us permission to keep our vehicles here over break,” Sunset answered and sighed, leaning against the statue and running her hands through her hair. “Good god.”
“What do you think they are gonna pick?” Cloudkicker asked and Sunset scoffed.
“Stay. It’ll be keeping them closer to their sisters,” Sunset sneered and glared at her boots.
“Sunset!”
We looked behind us at Rainbow and her friends running up as Raindrops and I spread our arms out to block them.
“What do you want?” Carrot Top folded her arms across her chest and gave them a disapproving look.
“Just wanna talk is all,” Applejack commented as Sunset looked away and Twilight gave her a pleading look.
“You promised me you would talk to them. They’re right here so please?”
“Fine. Speak, you got five minutes and Lavender is starting a timer,” Sunset grumbled and Lavender tapped on her phone and gave a thumbs up. “I don’t have all day, after all.”
“We’re sorry,” Applejack pressed her hat against her chest and Raindrops gave a dry laugh. “We ain’t ever thought it would be them because-”
“Because it was easier to let me take the fall,” Sunset guessed and raised her left eyebrow. “Unsurprising.”
“Because they never did anything like this before ever. It was easy to assume it was you because well, you used to this exact same thing,” Rainbow took over.
“I trusted you,” Sunset grumbled as Fluttershy stepped forward. “Don’t fucking touch me, Fluttershy or I’ll have Trixie push you away.”
Fluttershy flinched and nodded weakly as she stepped back.
“We are sorry for talking negatively about you too,” Rarity admitted and rubbed her arm. “It was definitely not okay and we most definitely should have just talked to you first. And we girls were talking-”
“You seem to know more about friendship than we do,” Pinkie continued as she pushed a strand of hair aside.
“And maybe this time, you could teach us about friendship because we need to learn a bit more too,” Fluttershy said hopefully and looked away from Trixie. “We aren’t perfect after all.”
We fell silent as we all looked at Sunset as she bit her lip and looked away before exhaling.
“No.”
Pinkie’s face fell as Blossomforth and the rest of us watched in uncomfortable silence, even Princess Celestia.
“N-no?” Fluttershys voice broke as Sunset nodded.
“No. I will help you with the occasional magic emergency but other than that, you girls are on your own. Don’t ever talk to me ever again. And if I find out you’re abusing the magical emergency agreement, I’ll be angry. And I’ll take your elements away from you because as of now, you will share them with my new friends,” Sunset explained in a bored tone and glared at them. “I considered you family once before but now? You’re just another face in the crowd and I will keep going to school here to provide for people I care about and of course, watch everyone in the school suffer when they see me walk down the halls.”
Rarity looked at her and nodded as her shoulders sagged and I resisted the urge to laugh. I know Mom/Sunset would have been disappointed and well, that’s kinda worse knowing.
“I’m sorry,” Rarity said quietly and sighed. “Truly sorry darling.”
“So what did ya mean by sharing the elements sunn-” Applejack gulped as Sunset gave her a cold glare that made even me shiver and Sunset shot me a quick apologetic look.
“My name is Sunset,” Sunset corrected. “Only my friends and family along with my girlfriends get to call me that.”
“A-ah understand,” Applejack bowed her head slightly.
“As for your question, I don’t know. I will decide later and then tell you. And if you must know, some good did come out of this, even if it was a small amount at first,” Sunset flashed Cloudkicker, Trixie and me a warm smile.
“Uh like what?” Rainbow gave us confused looks. “I know it seems stereotypical for me to miss something but it’s been a crazy hour.”
“Well, I have two girlfriends,” Sunset answered and nodded at Trixie and Cloudkicker who both smiled faintly. “And a daughter, so those are the only upsides. And I learned how you all truly felt about me so...”
“We should go,” Blossomforth gave Rainbow a dirty look as the rainbow haired girl paled. “Rainbow Crash, been awhile.”
I winced slightly at that. Blossomforth was usually a happy woman so if she was insulting someone, you did something wrong. And I did hear Rainbow had tried helping Blossomforth during her accident.
I tensed up slightly as Sunset gently pushed Raindrops and I aside as she stepped forward till she pressed her nose against Rainbows. I faintly made out the others tense up as well.
“Goodbye Rainbow Dash. I hope you enjoy your Christmas,” Sunset smirked slightly as she stepped backwards and turned away. “Goodbye girls. I hope you got what you wanted.”
“We didn’t,” Pinkie mumbled as she exhaled.
“Would any of you even tried to be my friend if Twilight hadn’t asked you?” Sunset demanded as they all looked at each other.
“I would have,” Pinkie whispered as Sunset nodded.
“Over time, yah.”
“Yes darling.”
“It would have taken a lot but yeah.”
“Mhm.”
“Hmph,” Sunset mused as she shook her head. “I can’t be friends with you anymore. Not that we have been from the start. I would have taken you all back with open arms if you had just stopped but you didn’t.”
Rarity opened her mouth to speak as I stepped forward and looked up at her.
“I don’t like you,” I announced and she recoiled. “You act stuck up, just like I was. And you hurt mom, so if she wasn’t here I would hurt you too. But she is and violence is usually something I reserve as a last resort.”
Sunset gave a subtle thumbs up before gesturing me to follow her.
I spun around and I ignored the Rainbooms watching helplessly as we all walked away.
“Nice speech kid,” Carrot Top elbowed me slightly and I turned red.
“Heh, thanks.”
“So what now?” Sunset asked as Celestia shrugged as Twilight high fived me.
“Now we wait.”
For the first time in my life, I think waiting patiently was gonna be annoying. I’m usually fine with being patient.
First time for everything though as they say.

Yeah they had a right to feel upset but no matter which story you look at they didn't get the right to hurt others about. I am sure granny Smith would have helped had she known about the problem. It is nice to see them getting the message they are too old for a tantrum and they are certainly too old for spreading gossip and secrets.
The rainbooms finally realized that yes they has a right to be concerned about whether she could change but they are the ones who agreed to give her a chance and didn't. Now they have to face the consequences of breaking trust. I have a feeling they will be yelling at their sisters for this.
Who did Twilight High five?
Also, will we see her and Celestia's reactions to the conversation?
And the consecuences of considering Sunset a task rather than a honest chance to have a new friend has finally shown.
Pony Pinkie Pie would be really dissapointed with the human versions of her friends and herself, because "Losing a friend's trust, is the easiest way to lose a friend,
FOREVER!
And as I mentioned before, Trust is like a fine porcelain vase: is beautiful, priceless, fragile and must be handled with care. But once broken, no matter how much effort you try to put it back together with most of the parts, it will never be the same as there will be missing parts, cracks, scratches and many imperfections that will always remind you what has happen to it every time you look at it.
But fortunatetly for them, Sunset is proving to be a big mare and while she won' talk to them (for now) she won't leave them to fend for themselves in case of magical emergencies, I hope that she can forgive them eventually, but she shall never forget what have they done to her.
Loved how Diamond Tiara proved to be the Big Girl and not physical atrack or verbally assault the Rainbooms, showing that Sunset is actually a great influence as oposed of what everyone though about her in the previous chapter, however she didn't hessitate to call Sunset "Mom" in public to add insult to Injury when Sunset mentioned that she have a daughter now!
And yes, Sunset won't know how yet but she will be able to split the Elements to add her friends and girlfriends as part of them eventually (Camp Everfree, here we go!)
Regarding the Crusaders choice, I do belive the parents, tutors and/or legal guardians should have been notified, explained and over all in what the Equestrian punishment will consist beforehand to agree giving the CMC the choice to eithef take the Equestrian Punishment or deal with the incomong legalities and procedures that happen in these kind of cases. So there's the possibility that either all of the legal guardians agree, one or two of them disagree, or none of them agree and prefrer to deal with it the standard way (Wrong Choice), but in the end the choice it won't be up to the CMC.
Besides, it would be downright frightening as a parent, tutor or legal guardian that you sent your kid/charge to school on the final day of classes before winter break and never return until afther the first day of classes afther the winter break, that could draw unwanted attention to the school and possibly expose the magical happenings in it.
Great Job! I hope to see how the consecuences now went from a snowball to an avalanche, when you have it ready!
