> Anon-A-Miss: New Student > by vvHunterr > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Sweet Shoppe Confrontation and Moving in > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunset Shimmer rushed to Sweet Shoppe. She was excited to tell the girls that she had finally unmasked Anon A Miss. It was so obvious! How could no one see it coming?! After piecing together some pieces in her head, she concluded that it had to be, Rarity and Applejack's younger sisters and Scootaloo, who was Rainbow Dash's sister figure. She had thought about it over and over again. Applejack said only her friends and FAMILY knew her piggly wiggly nickname So it didn't take much to put two and two together that Applejack's younger sister Applebloom had told everyone Applejack's nickname, and Sunset remembered that Rarity's friends and FAMILY were at the sleepover, so it wouldn't be too far fethced to assume Sweetie Belle had snuck in while Sunset and her friends were asleep, stole Sunset's phone and posted for everyone to see. And Scootaloo? Well if Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were in Anon A Miss, then Scootaloo would obviously be in it too. The three did everything together. She finally approached the doors of Sweete Shoppe and went inside. Panting, exhausted from running all this way from the school. She saw five girls, all her sharply turned thier heads in her direction. "Hey! Get out!" Said the one in Rainbow hair. Rainbow Dash. "You're not welcome here, you lying bitch!" The one in the stetson hat said with such venom in her voice. Applejack. Sunset also saw Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity there too. All had disgusted or angry faces. Sunset gulped and went towards them and spoke, "You girl's are not gonna believe this-" but was cut off Rainbow punching her in the face. Pain exploded on her right cheek as Sunset collapsed on the ground, her hand went to where she had been hit. "WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND BY GET OUT?!" Rainbow shouted. "IT WAS SWEETIE BELLE, APPLEBLOOM, AND SCOOTALOO!" Sunset blurted out, but she recieved a kick to her stomach. Courtesy of Rainbow Dash. She gasped in pain. "How dare you push the blame to them?!" Screamed Rarity. Sunset couldn't believe her ears. She had just figured, or at least came close to figuring out the truth, but instead of listening to her, she got attacked. Sunset felt herself on the verge of tears. "Please! You have to believe me!" She took out her journal she uses to write to Twilight. "I've been writing to Twilight and she said-" but Applejack grabbed the book and threw it across the room. "You lied to Princess Twilight too?!" She yelled at Sunset, giving the now crying girl a death stare. "That's just typical of you, Anon a Bitch," Rainbow added. Sunset tried again but was interrupted by Applejack. "You're phone was the only one that those pictures came from. Who else could it be?" The farmer asked angrily. "Sweetie Belle!" Sunset blurted out. But was met with a slap from Rarity to the face. Sunset stumbled backwards and began to cry again. Rainbow approached Sunset and said with great malice. "We've already told you....It...was...not....THEM!" Sunset turned to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie? You remember those fun times we had together?" She depsperatley asked. "You mean pretended so you could steal my secrets?" Pinkie shot back. The words struck at Sunset's heart. She turned to Rarity. "What about the dresses I helped you with? You gotta remember that!" She pleaded. Rarity gave Sunset the death glare. "Correction: Was pretending, just like with Pinkie!" She snapped. Maybe Fluttershy was the most understanding of them all. Sunset tried to walk her way towards the timid girl but was roughly pushed by Rainbow. "Don't you dare hurt her!" She screamed. Sunset then couldn't handle it anymore. "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY THINK I'M ANON A MISS?! WHAT OTHER KIND OF FUCKING EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME?! I TRIED SO HARD AFTER THE FALL FORMAL AND EVEN HARDER WHEN I HELPED YOU GIRLS AND TWILIGHT DEFEAT THE SIRENS! TELL ME WHY WOULD I THROW ANY OF THAT AWAY?!" Sunset was crying hard now. Rainbow threw a fork at her, barely missing her, causing the fire hair girl to yelp. "This is your last chance to leave, Anon a bitch!" Applejack threatened. "And you're not our friend!" Fluttershy stated codly but with a hint of sadness mixed in her voice. Sunset then realized her friends or former friends are never going to listen. So she turned around and ran out the doors, crying like she had never cried before. She came to an alleyway and sat down against the wall. She buried her head in her knees and continued to cry. I thought "real" friends were supposed to give eachother the benefit of the doubt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Mom do we really have to move here?" Asked a boy. He wore a gray t-shirt, a blue winter jacket, jeans, and a pair of tennis shoes. He also had black hair, which he almost never bothers to comb. H is mother, who wore a formal skirt, and had the same hair color as him, looked in the rearview mirror. "Logan, I told you already: you're father got a new job in Canterlot City so we must move here." "But can't we just stay back at home and visit Dad every once in a while?" Logan complained. His mother sighed. "No, I promised your father that we would support him with his new job." "What about the school I'm leaving?" Logan asked. "I made quite a few good friends there." "Aww I know, but I heard this school Canterlot High you're going to is really good. I'm sure you'll have the same great experience as you did with the other one." His mother replied. Logan realized maybe she was right. Perhaps he should give this a chance. They soon arrived at their new house. It was a two story house, but it did look quite decent. At least it looks nice Logan thought. They pulled in the driveway and unpacked thier bags. Logan got his suitcase of clothes and his mother got hers. They went inside the house and opened knocked on the front door. A man from the inside opened it. He was middle aged, had black hair like Logan and wore a pair of work pants and shirt. He was Logan's father. "Hey, Owen," Logan's mother said. "Abigail! You finally came!" He said as he kissed her forehead. He looked at Logan. "And there's my little champ!" he said cheerfully giving him a small noogie on his head. Logan looked a bit dissapointed. His father tried to cheer him up. "Hey listen, I know you really miss your old school. I know you made really good friends there, but this Canterlot High seems like a really nice place! I'm positive you'll love it." Logan smiled. "Thanks, Dad. Bye the way, where is my room?" His father pointed upstairs. "Upstairs, the farthest door on the left. Yours is also right next to the bathroom. There's three bathrooms by the way. One for each of us!" His father said. "Sounds great!" Logan replied. He picked up his suitcase and went upstairs in his room to start unpacking. As he went upstairs, Abigail turned to her husband. "And what about you, honey? Are you excited about your new job?" she asked. His new job was an accountant position. His job was to keep and intepret financial records. He had just been recently hired and he was about to began his first day tomorrow. Same with Logan and his first day at Canterlot High. Logan was about to unpack his bags when he heard his phone buzz. He opened it and saw it was from his friends back at the state he left. He also saw they were requesting for a face time. He smiled and opened it. Now on facetime mode, he saw his two closest friends, now he had made quite more of them back at his old school, but these two were his best. They had done almost everything together. His friend on the right had brown hair, and he looked like a stereotypical jock. It was Jackson or Jack. He was a very competetive athlete and a very good one too. The one on the right was a girl. She had blonde hair, and she wore a blue skirt with a tank top. Her name was Chloe. She was a cheerleader at Logan's old school. "Hey Jack! Hey Chloe!" he said happily. Jack and Chloe waved at him. "Hey Logan! How you been? I heard you and your family moved out." Chloe said. Logan sighed. "Yeah, I admit I do miss hanging with you guys. But maybe we can stay in touch like this? You know keep us all up to date." "Totally!" Jack replied. "So how's the new school?" He asked. Logan shook his head. "Oh I actually didn't go yet. I'm starting my first day tomorrow. So we'll see!" he gave a nervous laugh. "What about you two? How have you been?" "Pretty good," Chloe replied. "Nothing changed much, but we really do miss you and wish maybe you could come visit us. If your parent are ok with it that is." Logan smiled slightly. "yeah, that would be great." He suddenly heard a knock on the door and heard his father's voice. "Logan, you still unpacking?" Logan quickly looked back at his phone. "Crap! I gotta go. It was really nice to see you two. I'll talk to you later. Bye!" "Cya!" Chloe and Jack said. Logan turned off his phone and his father walked in. "Oh I was just about to unpack," Logan said. "But my friends called me." Owen laughed. "Don't worry about it. take your time! I just came by to ask if you wanted Pizza for dinner." Logan's stomach growled at the thought. He didn't realized he was hungry. "Yeah, that's sounds great, Dad." Owen started to leave the room. "Alright, I'll go order it." Logan began to unnpack his suitcase and wondered what tomorrow will bring. > First Day at Canterlot High > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan woke up from his bed and stared at his clock. It was 9:30am. His bus was going to pick him up at 10. He got up from bed and changed into a pair of shorts and t-shirt. He went down to the kitchen and looked in the pantry and find a box of Cheerios. He looked in the fridge and find a carton of milk. He poured himself a bowl of cereal. His mother and father came down. "Well looks like someone is ready for his first day!" Owen commented laughing. Logan finished his cereal and put the bowl in the sink. He grabbed his backpack and headed out the front door, and so did Owen as it was his first day too. "You both have a great first day!" Abigail said cheerfully as she waved them off. "I will, Mom!" Logan said as he went out the door and waited on the corner. Owen went out after Logan and got in his car heading for work. Logan waited for about five minutes for the bus stop when he saw a yellow school bus stop by the corner. As he went inside, he noticed that it was nearly crowded and he didn't think there was a spot for him to sit. He walked down the aisle, scanning for an empty seat. He finally found one near the back. He went towards it and and sat down. He didn't feel like talking to anyone just yet. He was still trying to get used to this new place. He wondered how his first day is going to be. The school bus came to a stop and Logqn looked out the window, seeing Canterlot High for the first time. The first thing he noticed was it was huge. He got off the bus and headed towards the front. As he walked he noticed student heads turning his direction, making him feel a bit uncomfortable but he pushed it aside. Probably because I'm new here. he also noticed the students expression were not very happy. Again, he tried not to let that bother him. He went through the front doors. He tried to wonder where he was supposed to go. He decided to ask someone. He kept on walking. And ran right into someone knocking whoever came around the other corner down on the floor. "Shit! Sorry my bad!" He quickly said and saw it was a girl he knocked over. She had flaming yellow and red hair, leather jacket and an orange skirt. She also had a pair of boots. "Don't hurt me please! I didn't do it!' The girl suddenly cried out not looking at Logan. "What?" Logan asked confused. The girl then looked and saw Logan for the first time. "Oh," she said as she quickly got up. If Logan had to guess, she looked "relieved" to see him, as if they met before. "Uhhh hi," Logan said a bit awkwardly. Not knowing what else to say. "Um my name's Logan. Logan Pace and I'm new here." "Oh hi! It's great to meet you, Logan! I'm Sunset. Sunset Shimmer. You said you're new here?" "Yeah, I actually came from Manehattan, and today's my first day." "Well I'm sure you're going to live it here," Sunset said reassuringly. "Hey, you want me to show you around?" "That would actually be great, Sunset. You seem really nice by the way." "Thanks," Sunset said as she gave a small smile. She then started to give Logan a tour. Sunset could not believe her luck. This was a new student and he had NO IDEA about this Anon-A-Miss chaos. She silently told herself she was NOT going to let this chance slip up. The only problem now was, how was she going to convince him she's innocent? Or will he just hate her like everyone else? As she gave the tour someone grabbed her by the hair and slammed her against the locker. Sunset cried out loud. "What in the-" Logan saw another girl with a light brown jacket, black shorts, as well as white skin and short white hair. It was Gilda. "Hey, what's the big idea!" "Well, if it isn't Anon-A-Bitch!" Gilda sneered. "I've told you already, I'm not Anon-A-Miss! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?" Sunset despretley cried, but recieved a punch to the stomach by Gilda. Sunset cried out in pain and Logan watched, furious. Ready to help this poor girl. He grabbed Gilda by the shoulder and roughly shoved her away from Sunset. "Why don't you leave before ANYONE gets hurt, you hear me?!" He screamed. Gilda only laughed. "You must be new here," She smiled but Logan knew it was forced. She looked at Logan and said, "You actually got it all wrong." She pointed at Sunset, who was terrified but relieved at the same time. No one had ever stood up for her...ever. "What do you mean I got it 'all wrong?'" Logan asked as he took a dangerous step forward. Gilda rolled her eyes. "I mean, it's her that's the bad person! I was just trying to help you out!" Gilda said pointing as Sunset. Logan had a confused look on his face. "What? No no I think you've mistaken her for someone else," Logan justified. Gilda shook her head. "No I'm right. You don't know this, but this Sunset is a manipulative secret stealing bitch!" "No I'm not!" Sunset shouted. Gilda turned around and gave Sunset a backhand slap across the face. The force was enough to knock her on the ground and she began to softly sob. Logan had enough and grabbed gilda by the hair and slammed her against the locker, just like Gilda had done to Sunset. GIlda winced in pain. "I may not have much fighting expirence but I can make you hurt real bad if you don't leave!" Logan growled. Gilda sighed. "You're so stupid! Do you not know what's going on? She's posting everyone's secrets on MyStable. Do you even have Mystable?" "yeah," Logan said still holding Gilda against the locker. Sunset got up again. She looked at Logan. "Logan, whatever she tells you, please don't believe her!" she begged with tears in her eyes. Logan couldn't help but feel terrible for Sunset. He gave a warm smile and nodded ever so slightly. He then turned back to Gilda. "Ok Gilda, what proof you have that she is this Anon A Miss?" Gilda laughed and said, "because when you look at Anon-A-Miss's profile on MyStable, the design looks just like Sunset's hair design!" Logan couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Yeah, I really think that makes her an obvious culprit," he said saracastically rolling his eyes. "How about this? If I let you go, you don't go anywhere near Sunset. Hear me?!" He threatened. Gilda seemed to shrink back a little. She was angry for having been stood up to. "Fine!" She said as Logan let her go. Before Gilda left, she turned to Sunset. "You got damn lucky this time! Next time, don't think your only clueless friend will save you!" Gilda stormed off. Logan immediatley went to Sunset. "Hey, you alright?" he asked a shooken up Sunset. She nodded slighlty. "Yeah, thanks for standing up for me." Logan smiled. "What was I supposed to do, let you get beaten to a pulp?" Sunset laughed a little before continuing. "No it's just that ever since this Anon-A-Miss, everyone's been accusing me of posting everyone's secrets. But you don't think I'm the culprit?" Logan gasped and shook his head. "Of course not!" He said almost too loudly. He quiet himself down. "As soon as I heard Gilda say your profile looks like your hair design I knew it wasn't you! Looking at you, I know your smarter than that if you really wanted to post anyone's secrets assuming you don't wanna get caught." Sunset had a grateful look on her face. "Well I think you can show me around later. Right now, could you point me to the principal's office please?" Logan asked kindly. Sunset nodded and smiled. She pointed to the third door on the left. "Thanks!" Logan said as he headed straight over there. > Enrolling in CanterlotHigh > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan knocked on the door to the principals office and waited for a response. "Come in," he heard an elegant voice say. Logan let himself into the office and saw a middle aged woman at the desk. She had light transparent rainbow hair and wore a light brown suit. "Hi," Logan said. "Name's Logan Pace and I'm new here, and I was wondering if I could get my schedule," he said. The woman looked at him and smiled. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you Logan. I'm Principal Celestia. And I was actually already expecting you." She went reached into her desk and pulled out a sheet of paper. "Here, this is your schedule of all your classes and seeing you're new here, you can tour the school if you want first." Principal Celestia said. Logan started to leave the office. "Sound great. Thanks, Principal." "It's my pleasure," Celestia smiled. Logan left the office and closed the door behind him. Logan walked out of the office and looked down at his schedule. Human Anatomy He smiled to himself. It was one of his favorite classes. The next one after that was Pre-Calc. He groaned a little. Math was not his best subject, but at least he had Canterlot History after. He loved learning things in the past. His other classes, they were things like Science, Physics, and one of them was Phys Ed. Feeling satisfied with his schedule, he put it in his pocket and looked up, just in time to see Sunset walking towards him. "Hey," she said. "I see you got you're schedule. Would you still like me to show you around?" "Yeah, that would be great," Logan said. "Alright, come on. I'll give you a tour." Sunset said gesturing him. "And this is where the gym is." Sunset said as she was giving Logan a tour. "Wow," he gasped. "You know, this reminds me when me and my friends back where I came from, we used to go to the local gym and shoot a few hoops." His smiled started to fade as he said. "I do miss them alot. Hell, I even miss my old school. I made quite a few friends there." "Aw, well I'm sure you can make alot of friends here," Sunset reasured him. Definitley more friends than me, that is. They left the gym and walked down the hallways. Suddenly the bell rang and the hallway was crowded with students. Logan then noticed that they turned thier heads in his and Sunset's direction. They were giving off jeers and dirty looks. "Um, Sunset. Am I doing something wrong?" he asked. He was getting a bit uncomfortable with what looked like people giving him death stares." "No, no. They're probably just nervous about you being a new student," Sunset quickly lied, but she knew the truth. it's not him, it's me. The thought sent a shiver down her spine. Sunset and Logan quickly moved down the hallway. "This is where the library is at," Sunset said. Logan looked around in amazement. "Damn, this is even bigger than at my old school." He said. By the way, is there any sports clubs I can join? I really like soccer." "Oh yes! We do have a sports club! We have almost all clubs you can think of." Sunset replied. Logan laughed a little. Sunset then showed him the rest of the school. Logan thanked her and went to his first class. He approached the door and took a look at his schedule to be sure. He opened it in let himself in. "Hi," Logan said to the teacher. He wore a brown blazer jacket, red pants. He was gray skinned and had white hair. "Is this Human Anatomy? I'm new here." "Well greetings to you," the teacher smiled at him. "I'm Mr. Discord. I teach Human Anatomy. We were just about to start our lesson." Discord turned to the class. "Everyone, this is...um" "Logan Pace." Logan said. "This is Logan, and I want you all to make him feel welcome here." Logan waved and so did the class. He settled himself at an empty desk and took out his notebook. Discord then started to teach them on them about the skeletal system. The rest of Logan's classes went more or like Human Anatomy. He then heard his stomach growl and as if on cue, the lunch bell rang. Logan went into the cafeteria and got in line. He picked up a lunch tray and looked at all the different food options. These look better than my the one's at my old school, he thought. He got a few pizza slices and a fruit bowl and orange juice. Then he saw the cash register and realized he had to pay for this. He began to get a bit worried because he didn't have any cash on him and he didn't pack his own lunch. He approached the cash register and the lady. He hoped his mother had put in some cash in his account. But the lunch lady told him he didn't have any. Just then he saw Sunset walk over. "Oh hey, Sunset," he said. Sunset smiled at him. "Don't worry, I got you covered," she said as she reached in her pocket and handed him a twenty dollar bill. Logan looked at Sunset gratefully. "Thank you, so much. Remind me to pay you back later." Sunset giggled. "No need, please don't." "AHA!" Said a voice making both Logan and Sunset jump. A girl with rainbow hair, blue jacket and dark bye jeans stormed up towards them. "So not only do you steal people's secrets, you also steal thier money too!" "No, that's not what happened," Logan began to say but was cut off. By another girl. She was orange skinned, wore a white collard with green on the shoulder shirt, and a blue skirt. "It's ok, partner, you don't have to lie." she said. "Rainbow, Applejack, it's not what it looks like!" Sunset said. "Quiet!" Rainbow snapped. "It's true," Logan said. "She gave me this twenty." Applejack looked at Logan. "Listen, I know you're new here but if there's one person you need to avoid. It's her!" she said pointing at Sunset who once again pleaded her innocence. "I don't how many times I have to tell you it wasn't-" "What do you not understand about being quiet?!" Rainbow snapped again. Sunset whimpered a little. Logan sighed. "Ok this is getting a bit retarded." he said flatly. "If Sunset here really wanted to steal my money, she would have done it in an empty hallway where no one could see her. Why would she want to do it here where everyone can see?" Rainbow and Applejack were lost for words. "Listen, uhh what's you name?" Rainbow asked. "Logan. Logan Pace." he answered. "Ok, Logan. Listen, we're only trying to help. You don't have to lie. We got your back if this lying bitch tries to steal your secrets!" Rainbow growled while looking at, Sunset. "Isn't that right, Sunslut Shimmer?!" Logan shook his head. "I'm so sorry but I just can't believe she would do something this awful. She was really friendly and gave me a tour." He tried to justify. "Sugarcube, that's exactly what she does," Applejack said softly. "She makes you feel comfortable and pretends to be your friend...then she stabs you in the back just like she did to all of us!" she suddenly shouted. "And you will never make another friend again," Rainbow said to Sunset with so much venom. That did it. Sunset ran out the cafeteria crying. What disturbed Logan the most was what appeared to be other students cheering and laughing gleefully at Sunset's sobbing. "Sunset, wait!" he started to go after her but was held back by a super strong force. It was Applejack. "Don't bother going after her," Rainbow said. "She's just trying to make you feel bad for her considering your new here and she's going to take full advantage of you." "Trust me, you'll soon realize we're right." Applejack said as she let go. "By the way, wanna be friends?" Rainbow asked. Logan wanted to punch her in the face so badly but decided to compose himself. "You can sit with us and our friends," Applejack added. "And unlike that lying bitch, we can be actual friends." Logan looked at the two girls disgusted. "You know, you really shouldn't jump to conclusions, and after seeing what you did. I think I'd rather be alone." He angrily but calmly walked away to comfort Sunset. "I guess he'll have to learn the hard way," Rainbow said sadly. > Comforting Sunset > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What?!" Rainbow nearly shouted and slammed her fist onto the table making a girl jump. She had pale yellow skin, pink hair, and wore a green skirt with pink butterflies on it and a white tank-top. It was Fluttershy. "I-I mean what if Sunset was telling the truth?" She asked barely above a whisper. Rainbow Dash turned to her other friend who had blue purple hair, purple skirt and white tank-top. The fashion designer Rarity. "Listen, darling. We know you truly cared about her but she never did the same for you, did she?" Her voice was softer than Rainbow's but with no less venom in it. "And what's worse is that she manipulated this new student into thinking she's innocent!" Applejack said. "Wait there's a new student?!" Applejack looked at a girl with pink hair, light pink skin. She wore a short sleeved white and blue shirt with a heart in the middle and a blue skirt and boots. It was the party girl Pinkie Pie. "Yeah, I think he just moved here today." Rainbow said. "Where is he? we would love to meet him," Rarity asked. Rainbow pointed at the cafeteria doors. "He left to try and comfort Sunset," she said rolling her eyes. "Typical Sunset using fake tears to make people feet pity for her." Rarity sighed. The other girls nodded in agreement. That is all except one...Fluttershy. "Hold on girls, I gotta get a drink of water," she said. Logan walked through the hallways looking for Sunset. He tried to ask if anyone's seen her but it seems like everytime he did, they would give him dirty looks and not even answer, let alone say anything at all. He heard a soft crying further down and saw Sunset alone. She was sitting down against the wall and had her head buried in her knees, crying. Logan approached her and knelt down and tried to comfort her. "Hey, you alright?" he asked softly. Sunset looked up and saw Logan as she continued to cry. "It's hopeless!" she whimpered. "Rainbow Dash is right. I-*sniff* I'll NEVER MAKE ANOTHER FRIEND AGAIN!" "Don't listen to those bitches, okay? They're just delusional and don't want to give you a chance," Logan said. "Do you have any idea who could be Anon a Miss?" Sunset, with tears still in her eyes nodded. She explained to Logan how she thought it was Applejack's and Rarity's younger sisters and Scootaloo too. "Makes a lot of sense. I just wish others were smart enough to realize it. But I guess stupidity is like a disease. It spreads everywhere. Me and you seem to be the only ones not infected." Logan tried to cheer Sunset up. The girl laughed a little and felt slightly better. "Will you help me...Please?" She asked giving him a sad look with puppy ears and tears. Logan couldn't help but nod. "I promise. I'll help you no matter what. How does that sound?" Sunset then cried harder as she hugged him tightly. "How can I ever thank you!" She cried, bawling like a baby. "Ow!" He winced. Sunset let go. "Sorry," she said sheepishly while starting to calm down. "Don't worry about it. It's just a week before I moved here, I was playing baseball with my friends and I got struck in the ribcage with a super fast one," he chuckled. "But I promise, ok?" Sunset nodded. Logan and Sunset both unaware that Fluttershy had been watching them. The timid girl quickly ran back to the cafeteria without them noticing. "Did you see Sunset?" Rainbow asked as Fluttershy returned. "Y-yes," the pink haired girl stammered. "Was she giving that new kid the puppy eyes and tears?" Applejack pressed on. Fluttershy only nodded. "Ah knew it," the country girl sighed. "She's taking advantage of that poor darling's kindness," Rarity sighed. "He really thinks Sunset's innocent..." Rainbow said. "But he'll soon realize we're right all along!" She turned to Fluttershy. "So what did you say to them?" Fluttershy tried to quickly think of a lie. "I-uh told the new kid that Sunset is dangerous," she lied, but on the inside she was beating herself up. Feeling guilty. "Good," Pinkie Pie said. "It would be bad if he gets hurt by Sunset!" The other girls nodded and made agreeable comments. "What are we going to do?" Rarity asked with concern. "I say we follow them and make sure Sunset doesn't try any funny bussiness with him!" Applejack suggested. "And once we prove him wrong, he'll thank us and maybe want to be our friend!" Pinkie said with hope. > Writing To Twilight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the final bell rang for the day, Logan packed his bags and was about to head home. "And don't forget to complete the worksheets," said the math teacher. Cranky Doodle. Logan groaned a little. Math was not his best subject, especially logarithims. He left the classroom and saw Sunset coming towards him. "Sunset, I know I said I'll help you but I really gotta get back home. My parents will suspect something if I don't." He smiled nervously. "It's alright, I understand." Sunset smiled. "Well It was great meeting you, Sunset. I'll see you around." "Cya," Sunset said and Logan left. After he did Sunset wasted no time heading out the doors herself. Sunset made her way to the Sweet Shoppe. She remembered she left her journal in there. She hoped the cakes still had it and no one took it. When she finally made her way to the cafe, she went inside and saw Mrs. Cake at the front counter. "Hello, Sunset Dear. How may I help you?" Mrs. Cake asked. She had pink and purple hair, a yellow short sleeved collared shirt, work pants and a white apron with cupcakes on it. "Hi, I was wondering if you'd seen something like a book around here?" Sunset said hoping it was still here. Mrs. Cake nodded. "Of course dear, I didn't know what to do with it so I decided to keep it for safekeeping." Mrs. Cake explained. "Is it yours?" Sunset nodded. "It has my name on the first page." she told her. She showed her the proof and Mrs. Cake handed over the book. "Thanks." Sunset said. She then noticed the the woman's face seemed to fade. "You know, you haven't really talked to your friends lately." she said. The word "friends" sent a gloomy feeling through Sunset. "W-we had a bit of a falling out," Sunset stammered. She can feel her eyes tear up. Mrs. Cake noticed. "If you don't want to talk about it I more than understand," she told her. "I just hope whatever happened between you and those girls can work out one day." "yeah....one day," Sunset muttered. She quickly left the cafe and sat down against the alleyway of Sweete Shoppe. She took out a pen and began to write. Dear Princess Twilight, It's hopeless. I'm sorry but when I tried to convince them that I was innocent and I saw them as family Sunset felt her eyes leak tears as she continued to write. THEY ATTACKED ME. After all we've been through, they threw me away like I never meant anything to them! Sunset was sobbing hard at this point, but she still wrote. I saw them as family! But they never cared about me did they?! I thought real friends were supposed to give eachother chances, but I guess I was worth so little to them. They only agreed to be my my friend at your expense and now they're using this Anon a Miss excuse to cast me out. Maybe I'm not cut out for this whole friendship thing. But at least I got to meet a new student today. Unlike my "friends" he actually believes me gave me the benefit of the doubt. Right now, he's the only true friend I have besides you. I'm sorry I failed you. -Sunset Shimmer. Sunset closed the book and continued to cry. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, Sweetie. How was your first day?" Abigail asked as her son walked through the front door. "It was fine..." Logan answered. He told her how he went to all of his classes and met new people. He didn't tell her about what issue was going on though. "That's very great!" She said joyfully. "I bet you had fun, didn't you?" Logan nodded. He looked around. "Where's Dad?" he asked. "Oh, your father called and told me he was staying late for tonight so you probably won't see him for awhile." Abigail replied. Logan took his backpack up to his room and settled it down onto the desk. He looked at his homework. Math sheet problems, a history reading assigment, He decided to get his worst subject out of the way first. He took out his caculator and his math problems and began to do them. After about thirty to thirty-five minutes, he was done. Not sure, if this is all right, but at least I got it done. God I hate logarithims so much. When will we ever use these? Then he moved on to history. The reading he had to do was a big chunk but still went by a lot faster. His reading assigment for history was on the topic of The founding fathers of Canterlot. As he was about done with his homework, he heard a knock on his door and his mother's voice. "Dinner's almost ready!" she called out. "Ok, Mom! Be right there!" he quickly left the room and came down into the kitchen. Abigail had cooked steak and stuffed mushrooms for dinner. Logan had set the table for both of them and ate. "Thanks, Mom. It's really good!" he said as he took a drink of water. "It's no problem, sweetheart." Abigail smiled. "So tell me did you make any new friends?" Logan nodded. "yeah, this one girl she showed me around. She was like really nice. Almost reminds me of Chloe if I'm being honest." "Really? Well that's nice!" Abigail commented. After they got done eating. Logan did they dishes and dried them. He looked at the clock and saw it was half past 11. He decided to turn in for the night. He went upstairs and brushed his teeth. He told his mom goodnight before heading to bed. A brand new day tomorrow > The next day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunset woke up from her bed. She looked out the window and saw the streets covered in snow. Only a few more days of this torture...and I can have break from it. She slowly got up from her bed and went to the bathroom to brush her hair. When she got out, she noticed her journal vibrating: Princess Twilight had written a response. Sunset was a bit nervous what Twilight might've said but nevertheless she opened her journal where the princess of friendship have replied. WHAT! HOW DARE THEY TREAT YOU SO HORRIBLE! HOW DARE THEY! SUNSET I AM SO SO SORRY! I THOUGHT I HAD LEFT YOU IN GOOD HANDS WITH THOSE FIVE BUT NO! I WAS TOO RETARDED TO THINK NOTHING COULD GO WRONG! I TRUSTED THEM TO TEACH YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP AND THEY THREW YOU AWAY LIKE SHIT! I AM COMING OVER THERE TO CONFRONT THOSE BITCHES AS SOON AS I CAN! Sunset read the next paragraph and noticed Twilight had calmed down due to her not writing in all caps this time. I would also like to give thanks to this new person who wanted to help you through this Anon-A-Miss. It really means a lot that he's giving you a chance like 'REAL' friends are supposed to do. Tell him I really appreciate it and wish there were more people like him. - Twilight Sparkle Sunset closed the book and smiled. She felt herself crying again but she felt comfort knowing everything was going to be alright hopefully. She finished getting ready and headed out for school. She didn't feel hungry so she skipped breakfast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Alright, Spike. I'll be back. I'm going over there to give those girls a piece of my mind!" Twilight told her number one assistant. The baby dragon looked at Twilight confused. "Why?" did they do something bad?" "BAD?! They did something worse than 'bad' Spike! They did something I never thought they would do in a million years!" Spike was about to ask what happened but decided it was best not to. Whatever it was, it must have been awful by the way Twilight was stressed out about it. Twilight made and angry sigh and stepped into the portal. "Girls, I think that Sunset put some kind of spell on that new kid! That's why he believes everything she says!" Pinkie theorized. The other girls nodded in agreement. "YEAH!" Rainbow agreed. "How else do you explain why he always agrees with her! It all makes sense!' Rainbow saw Sunset walk out the front doors so the athlete stormed over to her and in one quick motion, pinned her against the wall, forcing a cry from Sunset. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Rainbow seethed. "I don't know why you never believe me!" Sunset cried out but was met with a punch to the stomach. "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID! YOU PUT THE NEW KID UNDER SOME DARK SPELL TO MAKE HIM BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SAY, RIGHT!" Sunset was lost for words. "I-I didn't do anything to him," she began to feel her eyes tearing up as she tried to explain yet again that she was innocent. "Liar!" said Applejack who was now next to Rainbow. "I'm not!" Sunset begged. "Then how do you explain why he doesn't fall for your tricks?!" Rainbow screamed. "Maybe because he has a fucking brain?" Sunset shot back. She felt another kick, this time on her side by Applejack. She collapsed on the floor. She wanted this to end. The torture was too unbearable. Mostly the psychological one more than the physical. Tears leaked down her face as she looked down on the floor. "Hey what the fuck?!" The girls turned around and saw Logan run over to Sunset. But Pinkie tackled him to the ground and held him in place. "Don't worry, buddy! Im going to free you from whatever dark magic trance Sunset put you in!" Logan was confused. "What?! I'm not!" "This is going to hurt, but Ima beat the evil magic out of you!" Pinkie screamed. "But I'm not-" Logan protested but Pinkie backhanded slapped him. Hard. "Ow! What the fuck is your problem?!" Logan exclaimed. Holding his cheek. "Don't worry, buddy! I'll save you!" Pinkie shouted. "Get out you evil magic!" She slapped him again. "GET. OUT. OF. HIS. MIND!" Each word was followed by a super hard backhand slap. Logan groaned in pain. "Would...you please stop!" Logan was getting mad now, as Pinkie slapped him yet again. Her slaps were so powerful they almost felt like punches. "THE POWER OF PINKIE COMPELLS YOU!" The party girl screamed at the top of her lungs and this time she punched his face and that was the last thing he remembered he blacked out. His face was red and bruised. "Pinkie!" Pinkie jumped and saw Cranky Doodle looking furious. "What do you think you are doing?!" Pinkie was lost for words as she tried laughed nervously. "You see, I was trying to help him because Sunset put him under a spell!" She said nervously. Cranky Doodle shook his head. "Go to the Principal's Office now. You're parents will hear about this!" he said sternly. "But," Pinkie began but the stern look on Cranky's face told her not to argue anymore. Pinkie sadly got up and left Logan alone. Cranky looked at the boy and saw he was unconcious so he went to alert the nurse. "You five bitches..." The voice was anything but happy. The girls saw Twilight come towards them. If anyone had to guess, she looked furious. The girls weren't quite sure whether they should say something. Rainbow was the first one to find her courage to speak. "heh, Twilight! Are you here to help us deal with Sunslut Shimmer?" Twilight looked at them furious. The girls had never seen her look so mad. I TRUSTED YOU!" Twilight looked at the other four girls before continuing on. "I TRUSTED ALL OF YOU TO MAKE SUNSET FEEL AT HOME HERE! TO LOOK OUT FOR HER AND SHOW HER LOVE AND SUPPORT LIKE REAL FRIENDS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO! BUT NO! I COME BACK TO FIND SUNSET CRYING AND HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO CRUEL AND HEARTLESS TO GIVE HER A FUCKING MINUTE TO EXPLAIN HERSELF!" Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy were hugging eachother in fear. They hoped Twilight would be done, but she wasn't. "YOU PROMISED HER AND ME THAT YOU'LL BE HER FRIEND. YOU'LL STICK WITH HER NO MATTER WHAT! BUT WAS SHE SO WORTHLESS TO YOU THAT HER SIDE OF THE STORY ISN'T WORTH LISTENING TOO?! I WANT AN ANSWER!" The 4 girls Twilight screamed at were all crying. "N-no" Applejack voice trailed off. "It's just that...she's going back to her old ways! I mean the Anon-A-Miss profile design is the same as Sunset's hair!" Twilight calmed down but was still very angry. "What? ok. Remember when Sunset back then tried to frame me for trashing the gym, did she make anything obvious? did she? Did she write in fucking red letters, "I FRAMED TWILIGHT?!" The girls shook thier heads, seeing where this was going. "Exactly!" Twilight snapped. "I know Sunset is a lot smarter than that! If she really wanted to ruin your friendship she would have done a much better job at making it not as obvious!" "T-Twilight-" Rainbow began "SHUT UP!" Twilight thundered. The athlete dared not to speak. "NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" she screamed. The girls were all crying hard now. Tears streaming down thier cheeks. They have caused a lot of pain to Sunset and now they hope that when Sunset said the CMC were behind Anon-A-Miss isn't reallytrue, because if it was then all hell would break loose. They hurried away, still crying. Twilight began to calm down before noticing a boy with black hair, who was still unconcious. Twilight went over to check his pulse just to make sure. He was still alive. "T-Twilight?" Twilight turned around and saw Sunset looking up at her. "Sunset!" Twilight exclaimed as she rushed to give Sunset a hug. The fire-haired girl cried into Twilight's shoulder. The princess of friendship embraced her back as she said softly. "Shhh it's ok, Sunset. Everything is going to be ok." "A-Almost everyone hates me now!" Sunset whimpered. Twilight could feel an anger rise up in her but it was mostly at her self for not being here on time. It broke her heart to see Sunset like this. She had never seen her so broken before. Twilight felt like crying herself. Twilight then returned her attention to the unconcious boy on the ground. She realized this might be the new student Sunset was talking about. "I assume this is the one your talking about?" Twilight assumed. Sunset wiped the tears from her eyes as she calmed down. "Yes, he was the only one here who stood by me!" Sunset said. "What happened to him?" Twilight asked. "Pinkie Pie was trying to 'beat the evil magic that I put' in him out of him," Sunset explained. Twilight shook her head. "Fucking Idiot. But he's....normal right?" Sunset nodded. "Yes, and even if he was a threat, at least he's making an effort to pretend to be my friend." Just then, the two girls started noticing Logan groan as he regained concious and sat back up. "What in the hell?" He saw Sunset but this time with a purple skinned girl he had never seen before. He felt his face sting from all the slaps and especially the big punch. He slowly got up and noticed Twilight approach him. "Hey, whoever you are. I just wanna say I really appreciate what you're doing for Sunset. It really means a lot to her." Logan smiled slightly. "It's nothing, alright. If there's anything I learned it's that you should never jump to conclusions. By the way, are you new here too?" Twilight smiled. "Not exactly, but I don't come here often. "Oh so you're mostly homeschooled?" Logan asked. Twilight wasn't sure if she should tell the boy about where she really came from so she decided to change the subject. "You should see a nurse, um what's your name?" "Logan Pace," the boy answered. Just then, a nurse came by with an icepack. She handed it to Logan who put it against his cheek. "That should ease the swelling," she told him. "Thanks," Logan muttered. Great first days of school > The CMC > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Girls, we have to delete the account right now!" said a freshman. She had pink and white hair, wore a purple short sleeved jacket, stripped undershirt, purple boots with yellow buckles and a yellow skirt. It was Rarity's younger sister Sweetie Belle. "Why?!" said another freshmen. She had red hair with a purple bow tie in the back of her head, she wore a green short sleeved t-shirt, jeans, and orange boots. She was Applejack's younger sister, Applebloom. "Can't you see this is working?! Now our sisters don't want to hang with Sunset anymore!" "But they literally beat the shit out of her!" said the third. She had short purple hair, gray jacket, green shorts and gray boots. She was the "Honorary" sister of Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo. "I know this was what we intended but don't you think it's going a bit too far?" Applebloom shook her head. "Of course not! This is exactly what Sunset deserves after she ruined my sister's friendship!" "But that was a long time ago!" Sweetie argued. "Don't you think she deserves forgiveness now? And don't forget she saved our asses from those demon girls?!" "Fluttershy is the one we should be really thanking. She was the one who wrote the song. Sunset just happened to sing it. Fluttershy was the REAL MVP!" Applebloom shot back. As much as Sweetie Belle wanted to argue, she didn't know how she was to counter what Applebloom said. Fluttershy was the one who wrote the song... "Maybe not even Fluttershy! DJ PON3 should be the one who deserves the credit! Without her, the Rainbooms would never had a chance to save us in the first place!" Applebloom realized. "I'm sorry, Sweetie Belle but I'm going to have to go with Applebloom on this one!" Scootaloo said sadly. "I mean how else could have Sunset saved us? I'm sorry but it's either Fluttershy or DJ Pon." Sweetie Belle sighed knowing this was going nowhere. "I guess, but what about that new kid helping Sunset? If he finds out the truth he's going to announce it to the whole school! And then our sisters would kill us!" "You mean everyone will kill us," Applebloom corrected. "So we have to make sure he doesn't figure it out. Because he seems to be the only one who suspects something is off." "And I'm the only one who wasn't hit by the idiot stick?" Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo all jumped and turned around. There stood a boy holding an ice pack to his cheek, which the swelling had gone down, but still noticeable. The three crusaders were lost for words until Applebloom find her courage to speak. "What happened to your face?" "Doesn't matter," Logan grunted. "I was wondering if you three know anything about Anon-A-Miss?" "We don't know what your talking about!" Applebloom tried to look not guilty. "Yeah, uh-huh," Logan rolled his eyes. You know Sunet told me some very convincing points that you three might be behind it. I mean she said Applejack's friend and family know her nickname and you're her sister right?" Logan eyed Applebloom. "Yes, but that doesn't mean-" Applebloom began but was cut off. "Sunset also told me that after you called your sister the next day after Pinkie's Sleepover they started laughing about AppleJack's name. Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence that the one day they decided to laugh at Applejack's nickname was day right after you called her?" Applebloom could feel herself sweating. Logan turned to Sweetie Belle. "And as for you, Sunset informed me that you were present when Rarity hosted her sleepover. Only she didn't really invite you." "Logan, what are you doing?!" Logan felt a strong force pull him back. He saw Applejack and she looked at him angrily. "You know better than to suspect my sister of anything!" She said. "You know full well Sunset Shimmer is Anon-A-Miss! My sister would never do something horrible!" Applebloom went to hide behind Applejack's legs. "You should be ashamed of yourself!" Rarity was also there. " My little sister is too sweet and innocent to do something so dreadful! If you get caught helping Sunset, you'll be in very hot water!" Logan rolled his eyes. "I don't know how else I'm supposed to convince you that your sisters could also be on your suspect list. AppleJack you said you're friends and FAMILY knows about your nickname. So wouldn't that include Applebloom? And Rarity, did you ever lock your door?" Rarity shook her head slowly. "N-no..I don't think so," "So that's an even more convincing argument Sunset made. Because you never locked your door, your sister here must have snuck into your room and stole Sunset's phone." Logan said. "But like I said, conclusions should never be jumped to. So I'm going to have to find even more pure evidence, and when I prove you wrong. Don't be sad if Sunset never wants anything to do with you again." He left without another word leaving a frustrated Applejack and Rarity behind. "He really doesn't know Sunset, does he?" Rarity asked sadly. Applejack shook her head. "He's going to find out the hard way..." > Gilda Attack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And as you can see, there are no organs important than the other. Each one provides an important contribution to the entire body. You can't live without one of them." Discord said as he taught in the front of the class. He pointed to an anatomy model and pointed at the various organs. "Now don't forget you will have a quiz on the cardiovascular system. You should review the places in the heart and thier functions and how they relate to other organs. Any questions?" "Can't you live without one kidney?" A student asked. "You're aboslutley right," Discord said. "It is possible but to live with one kidney you would need to exercise more and have a more strict diet. Now can anyone tell me what is the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest? Logan raised his hand. "Yes, Logan?" "Cardiac arrests are without warning. They're from the heart beating in irregular patterns. They're caused by the rapid heartbeat Ventricular Fibrillition. The person becomes unconcious. Heart attacks are when the arteries are blocked and they block the oxygen blood from getting to certain parts of the heart. It's mainly caused by fatty acids that block the arteries," Logan said. "Very nice, Logan," Discord said. He looked at the clock. "Well would you look at the time? I'm going to end class here for today. If you need me I'll be in my office." The students and Logan gathered thier bags and started to leave the classroom. He went to his next class, Pre-Calc and needless to say, he had barely managed to stay awake throughout the hour. He was bored out of his mind as Cranky Doodle taught the Trig functions. Logan hated it. When will we use this, only God knows. It was too much for him. Sin, Cos, Tan. Why do we even need these? And not only that there were some problems where some problems required changing from Sin to Cos or vice versa. After Cranky was done teaching he handed out the assigments. "Make sure you complete all the problems," Cranky told the class. They all groaned but he didn't seem to care. "I expect you to be done with it by the time we meet next class." Logan took the paper and looked at it. It was a 35 question homework all on Trigs and some on logarithims. He had to solve all of them. He groaned. Maybe Algebra was a better choice. The students there don't have to do this...I think. After that the lunch bell rang and Logan went to the Cafeteria. He remembered he still had his twenty dollar that Sunset gave him. He got his food and payed for it at the register. He looked for a place to sit. He noticed Sunset sitting alone so he decided to sit at her table. "Hey Sunset," he said. But as soon as he sat down, almost everyone gasped and turned thier heads towards his direction. Some were shocked. Others were confused. He sighed. For fucking god sake. What is wrong with these people? "How you feeling?" Sunset managed a small smile. She was glad she had someone to sit with. "I'm feeling a bit better, thanks. Is your face getting better?" Logan touched his cheek and felt it. The bruises were now almost gone thanks to the icepack. "Yeah, now I know not to go near her...whatever her name is." "Pinkie Pie." Sunset answered. "She was supposed to be the element of laughter and make others feel joy as well." "Element?" Logan asked. "Oh yeah, umm Logan would you think I'm crazy if I told you magic was real?" Sunset asked. "Well not really. I'm one of those who believes in ghosts and paranormal so magic is definitley not weird for me. But to me, it looked like she did the exact opposite." Logan commented. "Oh and speaking of her I heard that she got suspended for today and probably even more." Sunset smiled at the news. Knowing at least that was one less person she needed to worry about. "The other 4 girls also had or were supposed to represent something too. Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, and Honesty....but" She tried to hold back her tears but it was useless. "But they never showed any of it to me after all I done for them!" She cried. Logan felt terrible so he pulled her in for a hug and comforted her. Sunet whimpered and Logan's shirt started to get wet from her tears. "It's ok...I know you can get through this." He reassured. "You don't know how lucky I was when I met you," Sunset said wiping the tears from her eyes. "No one here was kind enough to give me a chance. You were the only one!" Logan was about to say something when a familar bully came up. "Look who it is! Little Sunslut and her clueless boyfriend!" Gilda laughed. And so did the whole cafeteria. "Why don't you leave now?" Logan angrily asked. He got up to confront the bully but then felt a pair of strong arms grab his and pin him to the ground. "Let me go you fucking idiots!" They ignored him and Gilda quickly went over to Sunset who tried to defend herself but was restrained by someone else. Gilda slapped Sunset on the neck, which the latter screamed in pain. Because not only was there the slap but she felt something really painfully inserted on the side of her neck. "Don't try to escape from us Anon-A-Miss!" she hissed. "Let him up boys." Logan felt the hands let go and he got up. He really wanted to beat Gilda but didn't want to risk getting in trouble. And he didn't have time anyways because thats when a staff member walked in and Gilda and her gang had left. Logan quickly went over to Sunset. "Oh my fucking god, what the hell happened?" He asked as Sunset gritted her teeth in pain. "I don't know but it really hurts!" She said. Logan took a look at the side of her neck. "Umm Sunset...You have a chip tracker. Lemme see if I can take it out." He tried to pull it out but Sunset screamed as she cried. "Shit! Sorry!" He panicked. He also remembered that the chip is located very, VERY close to the jugular so he didn't know how he was going to remove it safely. Sunset began to whimper. "I guess we can get the school nurse but I don't think she has ever dealt with these types of issues before!" "I don't feel safe here anymore!" Susnet groaned. "I have an idea. How about you crash at my place. My mom used to work at a hospital before she retired and became a stay at home. I'm sure she'll know what to do with...that." Logan said pointing to the chip in her neck. "Really?" Sunset asked hopefully. "Of course. I live not too far." > At Logan's house and horrible events > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is my place," Logan said as he led Sunset to his front porch. "Don't worry, I'm sure my parents will understand. They're really nice. Sunset nodded. "Thanks, Logan." They went inside and Owen was inside. "Hey, Champ!, who is this?" "Dad, This is Sunset she's a friend of mine. "Hi, Mr. Pace." Sunset said politley. Owen smiled back. "Well hi, Sunset. It's a pleasure to meet you." "Dad, there's something you should see." Logan said. Owen came over to them. Logan pointed to the chip on Sunset's neck. "I tried to remove it but then I realized its very close to her jugular vein." Owen looked at the chip closely. "Yeah, that is very close. The jugular vein is a very dangerous thing to break..." "Is Mom here? I figured she would know what to do since she used to work in the medical field." Logan asked. Sunset then saw a young woman walk in. She wore a skirt, green t-shirt and her hair was black like Logans. Sunset assumed this was Logan's mother. "Logan, I see you made a new friend!" Abigail said. "Hi there, Mrs. Pace. I'm Sunset Shimmer." Abigail smiled kindly at Sunset. "Well Hello there, it's very nice to meet you." "Mom, do you remember when you used to work in the medical field?" Logan asked. His mother nodded. "Yes, why do you ask?" "Well, come and look at this." Logan answered pointing to the side of Sunset's neck. Abigail looked confused as she went over to Sunset. Logan pointed to the chip that was lodged in her neck. "Oh my..." she gasped. "I figured you were the best one to go to first," Logan told her. "It's a chip tracker. Someone attacked her and put this on her neck. I kinda told her she could crash here because she's really not safe anywhere else." "And why did someone put a tracking chip on you?" Owen asked. Logan then told them everything. From when he met Sunset, the issue going around his new school, and how Sunset was being blamed for it all even though she was innocent. "Oh my god, I am so sorry!" Abigal gasped. Sunset smiled weakly. "Thanks. I'm just happy your son has an actual heart and brain." Logan laughed a little. "So yeah, she kinda has to stay here...otherwise they'll attack." "Stay as long as you need, Sunet," Owen told Sunset. "How about Pizza to cheer you up?" "That would actually be good, thanks!" Sunset said happily. Owen took out his phone and ordered a few boxes of pizzas. "There's a couch you can sleep on or there's the guest bedroom." Logan told her. "They're both really comfy actually." "I'll take the bedroom," Sunset answered. Logan nodded and showed Sunset where she would be sleeping. *DING DONG* "That must be the Pizza!" Logan realized. He went to the front door and opened it. There stood a delivery man with a few boxes of Pizzas. "Pizza delivery for Mr. Pace." He said. Owen came up to the front door. He handed the man a twenty and thanked him. He bought the pizza in and set it on the table . "Pizza's here!" He called out. Abigail, Sunset, and Logan came to the table. Sunset smelled the Pizza. She didn't realize she was hungry. They all got thier plates and opened the three boxes. One was a sasuage and mushrooms. Another was a pepporoni. The last one was plain cheese. Sunset took one of each, Logan took a sasuage and mushroom, and pepporoni, Abigail had a pepperoni and plain cheese and Owen had just plain cheese. "Thanks Mr. Pace. It's really good!" Sunset told Owen has she ate. Owen laughed. "It's no problem!" "We really do need to do something about your neck," Abigail told Sunset as they ate. "But don't worry about it, ok? We can figure it out tomorrow. Considering tomorrow is the weekend." Sunset nodded in understanding and they continued to eat. When they were done, they saw it was past 11:00pm. "Well look at the time," Logan mused. They decided to get ready to turn in. Sunset went to the bathroom on the downstairs to take a shower and Logan took the one upstairs. When Sunset got out of the bathroom she was wrapped in a towel and wondered if there were any spare clothes that she could wear. She figured no since Logan obviously didn't seem to have any sisters her age. Just then Abigail came up. She was wearing a blue nightgown and offered Sunset a pair of pajamas. "Here you go, dear. they stopped fitting me along time ago so I thought these might fit you." Sunset took the pair of pajamas and smiled. "It's perfect. Thanks." She began to feel tired and Abigail noticed. "Why don't you get yourself some shuteye?" "Alright. I think I'll take guest bedroom." "It's upstairs, down the hall the farthest one to the left." Sunset went upstairs to the guest bedroom. She walked past Logan who was wearing a sleeping t-shirt and shorts. "Thanks Logan...For everything." Logan couldn't help but smile. "Hey...that's what friends are for eh? And I see you got my Mom's old sleepwear. You look really cute in them too. Sunset immediatley blushed upon hearing those words. "You're saying I'm cute? Awww" Logan turned red as he tried to say something. "Ummmm uhhhh," Why did I say that?! Sunset giggled. "Well goodnight, Logan." She went to the guestbedroom and shut the door. Leaving Logan alone, who by the way didn't know what to say. Could have gone worse, he thought. He went to his room and closed the door behind him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:00 AM Logan was sleeping when he started to wake up to the sound of a car door being shut. "What the hell?" he mumbled he yawned as he was tired and tried to get out from bed. He approached the window and saw two cars appear on the drive way. "Shit!" he said out loud. Now feeling more awake he rushed downstairs wasting no time. He looked for something he could defend with when he ran into Owen. "Dad! You saw them too?" "I did! Go and call the cops! I'll deal with them!" Owen said loudly but not too loud. Logan didn't need to be told twice. He immedialtley dialed 911 while Owen went into the master bedroom. "Abigail! Make sure Sunset is safe! They've come for her!" "Oh no!" Abigail gasped. She did not waste a single second and rushed out of the room into the guest bedroom. She saw Sunset looking out the window. Afraid. Abigail went over and gave Sunset a comforting hug. "It's ok...you'll be safe," she reassured. Owen grabbed a shotgun from the closet and went to the front door. Logan looked through the window and saw it was Gilda and three other boys. "You have five minutes to explain why you're here or I'll shoot! You're trespassing so I have every right to!" Owen said angrily. The leader of the gang, Gilda sighed and spoke. "Listen here, old man. We came for someone and I know you have her here. So kindly hand her over to us and nothing bad will happen!" she threatened. Owen loaded the gun. "Get out! This is your last warning!" "Alright..." Gilda began to say as she turned around to walk away. "I guess I can leave....." Suddnely she turned around, pulled a gun out and pulled the trigger. A loud bang echoed through the night. The bullet struck Owen through the heart. Killing him instantly. "Blood splattered on the wall. That's better!" she laughed. Logan heard the loud bang and went to see what happened. What he saw made his heart stop....His father...shirt bloody and dead. He felt a gut wrenching sadness in him as he felt himself crying and tears started to leak from his face. "Dad!" he shouted desperately. He went to find Abigail. He looked in the Master Bedroom but she wasn't there. Then he heard her up in the guestbedroom He ran to it and opened the door. "Mom! Dad's been shot!" He frantically shouted and he began to feel his eyes being stung by his tears. Abigail put her her hand to her mouth and so did Sunset. "W-What?" The whole world stopped for Abigail. She then began to cry like a baby. Logan had never seen her like this before. He felt like doing the same thing too. "I-Im so sorry..This is all my fault! YOU'RE FATHER DIED BECAUSE OF ME!" Sunset shrieked as she began to cry. Logan hugged her and whispered. "It's not your fault ok? Listen to me! You did nothing wrong!" he looked at Abigail and asked, "Mom...What's going to happen now?" Logan asked with tears in his eyes. Abigail shook her head. "I don't know, sweetie...I don't know." They heard the sounds of sirens approach. Abigial looked and saw at least 3 cop cars in the driveway. "FREEZE. ALL OF YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" they shouted. GIlda and her gang were trying to figure out a way to hide the body when they got caught. Gilda was taken by surpried as she pointed the gun at them, but her four group gang was outnumbered by the 10 police officers. "PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN!" They hollored. Gilda and her gang...seeing no other way out lowered thier guns and the officers put them all in handcuffs. It was a terrible night. > The following day and confession > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "36 year old Owen Pace had been shot and killed last night," said the news anchor. "Right on his front porch, and his wife and son were present, along with one of the son's friends who stayed was staying the night. We'll have our news reporter tells us more details." The scene cut to the a news reporter holding a microphone. "Thank you. Now if you can see here, I am currently at the scene where the murder had taken place. As you can see, the area where the murder had taken place had been tapped off. four teens had been charged with murder. One girl and three boys." The News Reporter stopped for a moment before continuing. "Now from what I had heard from the police, the four teens had all pleaded guilty and said Owen was NOT the intended victim." They T.V cut too a man in a collard t-shirt and shorts. He had black hair and it looked to Logan he also had been crying. "Me...and my big brother did everything together...When I heard the news last night...I felt something die within me..." the man's eyes starting to tear up. "We always had eachothers backs...I remember growing up..." He began to have difficulty speaking as he sobbed. "He would always help me up when others picked on me...He was more than my brother...He was a hero!" Logan shut-off the T.V and didn't say a word for a long time. He had spent the rest of the night crying himself to sleep. And so did his mom. Speaking of Abigial, now that there was no other way to get income, she had gone out to see if there were hospitals she could work at. Logan heard the front door open and saw Sunset about to leave. "Sunset wait! Where are you going?!" He rushed to the door. "I'm leaving!" she said sobbing. "You're not safe around me! You or your mom!" If I wasn't here your father would still be alive!" She knew Logan wanted to help her, but if being here caused his father to get killed, then she didn't deserve to be anywhere near him. She was about to leave but Logan grabbed her arm and pulled her back inside. He gave her a hug and said. "How many times do I have to tell you? You did nothing wrong ok? Those four especially that one bully is just a heartless cunt..." He paused for a moment. Unsure how Sunset would react. "And besides...you're one of my best friends." Sunset sniffed. "R-Really?" "Yes!" Logan could feel himself turning red now. "In fact...I see you more than that. He said so quietly but Sunset heard. "Wait? You're saying?-" "I love you, Sunset." Logan said barely above a whisper. His face was so red now, it could compete with a tomato for which had the brightest shade of red. "Y-You mean it?" Sunset asked. Logan was a bit relieved to see she was not disgusted with him. "Yes! I started to have a crush on you a little after we met..." Sunset was lost for words. Then she began to cry. "I-I love you too!" she whispered. Logan went forward and kissed her on the lips. Sunset didn't reset as she kissed him back pressing her lips onto his. It went for long seconds until they pulled apart. Sunset hugged Logan and started to cry and his shirt started getting wet from her tears again. He smiled. Lets hope this can last. Third time is the charm, he thought > Afterwards > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan and Sunset continued to cuddle on the couch for awhile when Logan turned the T.V back on to see what else the news had to offer. The scene was at the news station. The same News Reporter looked at the camera as she spoke. "Mostly everyone is outraged about this incident and there is a huge debate whether we should raise the legal gun age." We have a couple interviews with some people. Let's go to that." The T.V scene cut to someone standing outside the house as a microphone was underneath him. "This is messed up!" he said. "Not just messed up, this is f*bleep*ing ridicolous! I for one say we need to raise the age to legally own a gun! eighteen years old is too f*bleep*ing young! We need it to be at least 30 years old! At that age, people should be at least more than half mature enough to know not to do something retarded like what just happened!" The next one they interviewed had an argument that raising the gun age would not solve anything. "Raising the age would not solve anything! The safety of a gun comes from the maturity and responsibility of the wielder! Those kids didn't have neither of those, but how do we know a 30 year old won't do the same thing? Age does not determine maturity! And I think there would be no point either! Even if we did raise and enforce the legal age to carry a gun, kids can still get thier hands on it from thier parents or from the black market!" Logan had his arms around Sunset in a cuddle. The thought of his father was still fresh in his memories. He knew one day, he would feel better but that day was not today...nor anytime soon. He started to feel his eyes tear up. He felt Sunset lean closer to him. Logan hugged her tightly as he softly sobbed and Sunset hugged him back. "It's gonna be alright, Logan...you're father was a hero. He's in a better place now." She reassured. Logan leaned forward and kissed her forehead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Did.....yal hear what happened last night?" AJ asked. Her friends were deathly silent. They were all at Sweet Shoppe. Fluttershy was the only one to shakily nod her head, but even that was barely noticeable. "I can't believe something that awful happened to him!" Pinkie gasped. Her suspension had recently ended so she was back in school. "And I should probably apologize to him...for what I did..." she muttered. Her friends nodded. "You girls think Sunset...is still Anon A Miss?" Fluttershy asked. The Rainbooms looked down "I don't know..." Rainbow said with a slight tone of sadness. "I really don't want it to be her! She was more than our friend...she was our family! I really don't know who could have gotten all our secrets?" The rest of the Rainbooms remained silent for a long time. "I do know one thing...if the truth comes out and Sunset is innocent...she will never find it in her heart to forgive us." "And we would have to face Twilight's wrath..." Rarity added still shaken up by Twilight's rage the other day. > Week before the break > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The weekend seemed to fly by for both Sunset and Logan. It was Sunday. There was only five more days until school would be closed for the Christmas break. They were still watching the news about the murder and there was another interview going on. This time it was focused on a middle aged woman. Logan noticed she was white skinned and looked like she could be Gilda's mother. "I don't think you understand..." The woman sniffed. She had been crying when she heard the news. "My daughter...My sweet little angel has the most caring heart! She would never hurt a fly!" "And how do you explain what happened that night?" the Reporter asked. "When I said she has the most caring heart...I mean when she is in her right mind, but she has a mental illness she can't control. It makes her do horrible things!" "So you're saying that she shouldn't be charged with the murder she committed because of an illness?" "Yes, that's my point! I can't speak for the other three but my daughter is not a murderer!" Logan shook his head. "Typical parents trying to defend their child. Mental illness my fucking ass, I don't think so. Her daughter planned the attack, was rational enough to insert a tracking chip, and took joy in others pain." He held Sunset in a cuddle as he tenderly kissed her on the cheek. "But don't worry, Sunset. They can't hurt you anymore." Sunset smiled sweetly at his words. "But we're still going to have to get that chip removed. Hopefully my mom got hired at a hospital." The sound of the front door was heard unlocking and Abigail walked in. She was wearing a formal skirt and shirt. Logan and Sunset both got up from the couch. "Hey, Mom. Where did you go?" "Oh I just got hired at the new hospital that opened up down on the street." Abigail said. She looked at Sunset. "And as soon as everything is ready me and my team will do our absolute best to remove that chip from your neck. Sunset felt a painful sting on her neck as a cruel reminder. "Oww," she muttered as she nursed where the chip was implanted. "I hope it gets removed...even if whoever is tracking me is behind bars now, I would still like to be free from this thing." "Don't worry, dear. I'm sure this will be no problem. I used to perform surgeries. This should be a piece of cake," Abigail reassured Sunset. "Thanks, Mrs. Pace. I appreciate it." Sunset replied. "Mom, did you happen to see the interview on the news?" Logan asked. Abigail nodded her head. "It disgusts me!" she said with bitterness in her voice. "She can't even admit her daughter did a horrible thing and defending her action with a mental illness! If she was mentally ill, and her parents knew, they should have kept the gun away from her hands!" Logan agreed with her. Sunset suddenly felt hungry as her stomach began to growl. She looked embarrassed. "Looks like someone's hungry," Logan said with a sly smile on his face. "What would you like to eat, dear?" Abigail asked Sunset, but the latter shook her head. "No, please. You really don't have to." Sunset said. "Sunset, you have to try my mom's food. You'll love it. I didn't mention this, but before she worked in the medical field, she once used to run a restaurant!" Sunset was surprised at what she heard. Abigail gave a small smile. "Really?" Sunset asked. "Yes. She retired a few years after I was born. She told me she used to run a Michelin star restaurant. I forgot what the name was called." "It was Abigail's Good Eats," Abigail said. Sunset was impressed. "Wow, Mrs. Pace. I didn't know you were such an amazing cook...well if you really insist. What do you recommend?" "Oh I know something you'll love," Abigail said with a slight grin. She turned to Logan. "Could you help me, please?" "yeah, no problem," Logan said. "Please just relax Sunset. Me and my son got this." Sunset nodded and rested on the couch and Logan followed Abigail into the kitchen. *one hour later* While Sunset waited, she took out her journal and wrote a message to Princess Twilight. She flipped to the next blank page, took out a pen and wrote Dear Princess Twilight, In case you haven't heard, A lot of things have happened. You know Logan? Well me and him are a couple now. I can't tell you how lucky I am to be with someone who cares for me and is always there even when my 'friends' turned a blind eye. I got attacked by Gilda and she inserted this tracker chip on my neck, so he's offered to let me stay at his place, and his parents are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Sunset felt her heart drop as she thought about what she was going to write next. Or at least...his parent. A couple nights ago, Gilda and her gang tracked me down here. Logan's father...he went to confront them and ended up getting shot! He didn't make it...I love Logan, but I don't know if I should be around him because I'm a threat to his and his mother's life. He keeps telling me I have no blame to take for his father's death but I don't really know. I hope you can reply. - Sunset Shimmer Sunset heard the sound of plates being put on the table. She turned around and saw Abigail and Logan putting the food on it. Logan noticed Sunset and called out. "Hey, Sunset. It's almost ready. Just a few more minutes." "Alright, take your time." After about ten minutes, Abigail called over to Sunset. "Food's ready!" Sunset heard and got up from the couch and walked towards the table. She saw it had three plates with food on it. "Wow, this looks really good!" she gasped. "Why thank you," Abigail replied happily. "It's a flamin yawn, rare, peppercorned, with a side of asparagus, ceasar salad, cavier, calamari and stuffed mushrooms." Sunset looked at the food. It looked so good. "You made all of this yourself?" "Well not all of it," Abigail admitted. She turned to Logan who was also at the table. "The calamari and stuffed mushrooms were mine," He said. "I actually learned how to cook from my mom. Of course I never got to help out in a resuraunt." "Well how about we start eating then?" Abigial asked. Sunset nodded as she heard her stomach growl once more. They sat down at the table and began to eat. Sunset took a fork and a knife and cut the meat. When she tried it, she was amazed about how good it tasted. She smiled delightfully and Abigail noticed. "You like it, dear?" Sunset nodded. "This is so good! You really did run a Michelin Star resturaunt!" Sunset then tried the calamari and stuffed mushrooms made by Logan. The quality of his cooking was slightly worse than his mother's: It was a bit too salty for her liking, but overall it was still really good. "I love this too!" Sunset told Logan. He smiled. "Wow...thanks," he said. After they were done eating, Logan did the dishes and put them up. "Thanks again, for letting me stay here, Mrs. Pace," Sunset said kindly. "Please, don't mention it," Abigial said smiling. > Micro Chips > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm ruined. I'm so....fucking...ruined!" A student exclaimed. He had a yellow shirt with an atom symbol on it, gray pants, and tennis shoes. He also wore a pair of glases. He sat down at the lunch table with his friends. One of them had blue hair, a gray jacket with a lightning symbol on the sleeve, and blue jeans. He was Flash Sentry. He was the guitarist and leader of his band called the 'Flash Drives'. The other had long green hair, he wore a red t-shirt with a brown vest, blue jeans and tennis shoes. His name was Sandalwood. He was considered one of the eco kids. "Micro Chips, just calm down, my dude" Sandalwood began to say. "Tell us what happened." "NO! I just can't calm down! Someone just fucking died because of something I did!" Micro said with anger mixed with a hint of sadness in his voice. Flash and Sandalwood were a little shocked. It wasn't usually for Micro Chips to cuss like...ever. "Now it's only a matter of time before Gilda rats me out...and when she does...I'm done...Once they see what part I played, they will never accept me in any college!" He was beginning to get stressed out. "Micro, chill out!" Flash said. "I'm sure whatever you did can be forgiven over time! Now what happened?" Micro took a deep breath and told them everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A few days back School had just ended and Micro Chips was walking down towards the hallways out to the front doors. Once he was outside, he used his keys to find his car. It was quite a good distance away from the school, so he walked over to it. He didn't have plans for tonight and decided he was just going to stay home and work on his computers. He was about to get into the driver side of his car when suddenly...Two strong grips pinned him down on the ground. "Help!" he screamed but his mouth was quickly covered and his screams was turned into quiet muffles. They also covered his eyes. Panic began to set into Micro as he got worried where these people would take him. "Put him in the trunk," A voice ordered. Micro felt himself being dragged across the parking lot. He decided he wasn't going down without a fight. The problem was, not being able to punch because your arms were pinned behind your back by two very strong grips didn't exactly help. So he had to rely on only kicking. He landed one good kick on someone's thigh and he felt one of the strong grip slighlty lessen, but it was still not enough. "Come on!" The voice said. It sounded like a female, and one who was impatient to get going. "We haven't got all day!" "I like to see you come and help us!" said a male voice, who also sounded annoyed. Micro heard the girl sigh and the next thing he knew, he felt himself punched in the face. He groaned in pain as he was thrown on the ground and his ribs got a hard kick. He groaned again and clutched where he had been hit. Then he heard that same female voice right in his ear. "Shut up! Unless you want to see what I can truly do to you!" she snarled. Micro Chips then realized the voice, as horror began to set in. It was Gilda. A dreadful feeling had set in him as he desperatley tried to escape. He had heard stories about Gilda before. She had sent numerous kids throughout the year to not just the nurse's office, but to the actually emergency rooms. What did they want from him?! He tried to ask but his question came in uncomprehensible muffles. He then expirenced what felt like the strongest punch to the head. It was more than enough to knock him out. Gilda and her gang took Micro to thier car, put him in the trunk, and closed it. Then they took off. "Wake up...." someone said in a sly tone. Micro Chips began to regain concioussness. His eyes scanned around to see where he was at. Based on what he could tell. He was in some kind of Alley Way. He felt his arms still being pinned to his back as he was held up against the wall. Gilda approached him. "Ok, smart guy. We're going to need you're help! But first!" She grabbed Micro's phone from his pocket and threw it on the ground, then stepping it. Utterly breaking it. "No! What are you doing?!" Micro shouted. Gilda laughed. "That's so you won't have an easier time calling for help! Now I need you to do something for us!" she snarled as she took a switchblade and held it so close to the back of Micro's neck, who didn't dare move for fear of how aggresive this psycho was being. "N-Never..." Micro said weakly. Gilda began to gently but firmly press the blade into his skin. Micro began to panic. "What do you want?!" he asked. "It's really simple. I need you to create a tracking chip so we can put it on Sunset Shimmer!" Gilda said. "What?! Why?!" Gilda rolled her eyes. "Don't you know what she did to people like us?! Listen buddy. I know what you're thinking, but where ultimatley on your side too! Don't you want revenge on Sunset for being a bitch to us!" "N-Not really," Micro began to say but was cut off. "I mean if she did do this to us, don't you think that's a bit too far?" "What do you mean if she did?!" Gilda screamed. "She did do it! Don't tell me you're getting stupid! You're supposed to be one of the smartest kids in the school!" "B-but," "Well it looks like you don't have a choice, do you?" Gilda sneered. She then took the switchblade away from his neck and put it away. "Now are you going to help us or not?!" "And what if I don't?" Gilda smiled to herself as she answered. "If you refused....then....you can expect to find both your parent's head on my wall!" "N-No! Please!" he desperatley cried. Gilda only laughed. "So are you or not?" "Ok ok! I will just please don't do annything stupid!" Gilda leaned in close and whispered. "And if you EVER tell anyone about this, you or anyone you love will never see the light of day again!" she threatened. Then she said. "You have until the end of the next day! Bring it or else!" Micro Chips shakily nodded his head. "Ok" Gilda and her gang decided they had enough and got in thier cars and took off, leaving Micro Chips all alone. He leaned up against the walls and began to sob, feeling horrible about what he was going to do. back to present "So you made that tracking thing?" Flash asked. Micro nodded. "I had no other choice. I couldn't tell anyone, because if they found out, they would awful things!" "My dude, I'm so sorry. But listen to me. You have no blame to take on this! Gilda's the one who should be really sorry!" Sandalwood reassured. Flash agreed with him. "He's right. She thinks she can treat us however she wants. Say what you want about how Sunset Shimmer was but at least she wasn't cruel enough to send us to the emegency rooms!" "I don't know still...none of this wouldn't have been possible without me!" Micro said sadly. "Thanks guys for trying to make me feel better...but I think my life is ruined." > Interrogation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Listen here, young lady. I can either be easy or difficult you talk to. The way you talk depends on it." Said an officer. He and Gilda were in the interrogation room. Gilda didn't say anything as she slowly nodded. She did not feel joy in this at all, but she didn't feel remorse either. "First question. Do you know the severity of what you're group and especially you did?" "I understand that I have killed someone," Gilda's voice was with no emotion. "But he was not intended victim." "Care to explain who was?" "It's a girl named, Sunset Shimmer. She has been posting everyone's secrets on MyStable and me and my gang wanted to teach her a lesson." The officer thought about it for a moment. "So you're telling me, that because of a social media website, you resorted to violence and and tried to murder a teenage girl who posted your secrets?" Gilda nodded. "I don't deny any of that." "Now could you tell me how you were able to track her down and do you have any evidence it was her?" "For the second question, I figured it was her because when you look at her profile design, it looks like her hair style. And for the first one, I put a tracking chip in her neck. That's how we were able to find her." "And how did you get your hands on such a device?" For the first time, a small smile appeared on Gilda's face. "Oh we had a bit of help." The officer looked a bit confused. "What exactly do you mean you had help?" "We had someone make that device for us? His name is Micro Chips. I know what he looks like." The officer asked about Micro Chips appearance and Gilda told him everything. "Whatever you do to me, you're going to have to do to him! He was in this too!" she told the officer. "Miss Griffon, you do realize that because of what you did, you are facing up to a 15 year sentence behind bars right?" When Gilda didn't say anything else. She was taken by a couple of officers. The one who spoke with Gilda turned to his partner. "I need you to see if we can get a hold of someone named Micro Chips over here. I need to question him on his part in this." "Will do," his partner replied. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Micro Chips had just walked all the way home. He went inside. His parents were out at work so he was home alone. He set his backpack to the side and went into his room to process through his head, what just happened in the last few days. Ok, so I was the one who created the chip. There's no denying that, but maybe if I come clean...they might go easy on me? he went on the computer and when he opened up the browser, the first thing he saw was the murder incident. guess this was more big than I expected. He heard a knock on the door and wondered if his parents had just returned. He went to answer it when he saw it wasn't neither of his parents. It was a police officer. "Micro Chips, We need you to come with us for some questioning regarding the murder incident that recently happened." he said. Micro Chips felt a sudden dread in his stomach. "Please, you have to believe me! I had no harmful intentions!" The officer thought about it for a moment and said. "Well if you come with us, we can talk about it. It's not safe to discuss it here where anyone can hear us." Micro finally agreed and the policeman escorted him to the veichle. at least he wasn't in handcuffs which is a good sign. But that might change soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Logan can I talk to you for a second outside?" Discord asked. Logan looked up. "Um, sure..." Logan went out into the hallway where Discord was. "Listen, Logan," Discord began to say. "I just heard what happened a few nights ago, and I understand that you're going through a lot. I have a test in a few days, but if you want to take it after the winter break, I'd more than understand, so that way you'll feel a bit better." "I'm feeling a little better," Logan told him. "In fact I think I might take it after school today." Is it multiple choice?" "Mostly that and a few short answers." Logan thought about it for a moment. "I'll take it after school today. Are we pretty much done with the unit?" Discord nodded his head. "I'll be in the classroom after school whenever you're ready." "Alright, well thank you." Logan said. > After School > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan had decided to take his Anatomy test early after school today. So after his last class (Chemistry), he went straight to his Anatomy classroom where Discord was waiting for him. "Would you like to go over anything before you take it?" Discord asked. Logan shook his head. "No thanks. I think I'm good for this one." "Alright then, make sure you turn off your phone, put it in your bag, and put the bag in the front of the room. You may get it back when you are done." Logan turned off his phone and put it in his bag, then he put it in the front of the classroom and sat down at a desk. Discord then handed him a packet and scantron. "Take you're time, Logan. I'll be at my desk if you have any questions. Good luck." Logan thanked him and began his test. He saw it was 50 questions. The first 25 were understanding questions. The test goes over the chapters they had learned. Skeletal, Muscular, and Cardiovascular. The first 25 questions weren't all multiple choice. Some were short answers. The questions ranged from asking the location of an organ, to it's overall function. For Logan, the test seemed to be a breeze so far. He got through the first 25 questions in 20 minutes. The next 25 questions were a practicum where he had to label and tell the function of things such as the bones, muscles, and veins. Again, Logan breezed through it very quickly as he wrote down his answers. I hope I spelled everything right, though. As he finished the last question, he looked up at the clock and saw it had been 40 minutes since he started the test. He had done it under in hour. He decided to check one more time. Then he realized he forgot to put his answers on the scantron, so he spent the next few minutes or so filling the scantron. After he was done, he got up and put both the test and scantron on the teacher's desk. "Thank you, Logan. And judging from your participation and knowledge in class, I'm sure you did very well." Discord said with a smile. "Thanks, Mr. Discord." Logan said as he grabbed his bag and left the room. As he walked through the hallways, he heard some voices nearby. They didn't sound like any of the staff. They sounded like students. Logan was a bit confused because he assumed he was the only student here at this time and the rest had gone home. He was going to pay them no mind until he heard "Sunset". Logan stopped dead in his tracks. He thought he heard three voices around the corner. He slowly walked towards the corner and took a peak around it. To his surprise, although not really, he saw the CMC. They didn't notice him as they went on talking. "Applebloom, we are deleting the account right now! This has gone too far!" Sweetie Belle said loudly. Logan didn't waste time as he got his phone out and hit record. Again, the CMC did not notice him. "No way! I'm still not satisfied with my revenge on Sunset! She deserves to be punished a lot more!" Applebloom said stubbornly. "Don't you agree, Scootaloo?" Scootaloo didn't know what to say. Sweetie Belle argued back. "But someone got killed because of us! Are you really going to let Sunset take the blame for causing an indirect murder she didn't do?! I think it's time we come clean and tell everyone the truth! We're Anon-A-Miss and we framed Sunset!" "We can't do that! Then they'll come after us and kill us!" Applebloom said. "The whole point of this was to make our big sisters spend more time with us!" "Sweetie Belle is right. It's time we stop this and confess. Better now than never." Scootaloo commented. That was all Logan needed. He stopped recording and quickly escaped before the CMC could notice him. It's time to end this for good! > The truth is out > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan ran to the Principal's Office. He frantically banged on the door until Celestia say, "Come in." He went inside and shut the door behind me. "Principal Celestia. There's something you gotta see!" He was excited now. "Calm down, Logan and tell me what it is." Logan pulled out his phone and put it on the video of the CMC. He played it and handed his phone to the principal. "It was pure luck I was able to catch them. Otherwise I would have no idea how to clear Sunset's name and prove her innocent." Principal Celestia continued to watch the video. "I also plan to upload it for the entire school to see." Logan continued. After Celestia was done watching the video, needless to say, she was fuming mad. Of course, she was also one of the few people who never suspected Sunset Shimmer of being Anon-A-Miss, but the torture the innocent girl had to go through, being abandoned, and not to mention someone had just died when she saw on the news because of this whole chaotic incident. She handed Logan back his phone. "Thank you, very much Logan. There will be an assembly later tommorrow, and I will have a word with those three." Celestia's voice was calm, but he could sense a burning fury inside. Logan left the office, and ran into the bathroom where no one could see him. Then he opened up his MyStable account and posted the video online. Let's see what tomorrow brings He went outside and saw Sunset sitting outside. He ran to her. "Sunset! Sunset! I did it! You're not going to believe it!" "What did you do?" she asked. Logan told her how he had caught the CMC framing Sunset and recorded everything. He told her he had already informed the principal about it. Sunset gasped. "Really?!" Logan nodded. "Yes! Now you're going to have your name cleared!" Sunset hugged Logan and began to cry. "Th-Thank you! I love you much!" she sobbed into his chest. Logan felt his heart melt over her words. He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. "Come on, now let's worry about getting that chip removed." Logan told her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo report to the principal's office immediatley! "Shit! What does she want from us? You think it's Anon-A-Miss?" Applebloom asked worried "Well what else could it be?!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. the CMC made thier way to the office. Thier guts wrenched with a feeling of dread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Rainbow..." Applejack said. Her voice had no emotion. She was on a phonecall with the athlete. "Yeah, what's up?" Rainbow asked on the other end. "Th-" Applejack began to sob. "Applejack, what's wrong?" "WE FUCKED UP THAT'S WHATS WRONG!" "What do you mean?" "Rainbow! open up MyStable and look at the recent posts. There's a video!" "What?! I bet it's that Sunslut!" "No..." Applejack's voice was filled with despair. "Hold on lemme see!" Rainbow hung up and played the video. I bet its Sunset doing a blackmail on someone!. Thoe were her initial thoughts, but as she pressed play, she was surprised to see the CMC in the back of the hallway. Whoever was recording it seemed like they didn't want to be seen. Why is whoever recording this recording them?. But then she heard the entire conversation between those three. WHAT?! NO THIS CAN'T BE! THIS HAS TO BE FAKE!. But the worried tone of the CMC seemed too real. Please tell me this isn't real!. Rainbow began to feel a great dread in her stomach. This can't be real! It just can't! She trembly stopped the video and called Applejack back. She picked up immediatley. "Did you see it?" "Applejack..." her voice trailed off. "What were we thinking?...HOW COULD WE BEEN SO RETARDED WE NEVER GAVE SUNSET A CHANCE!" Rainbow broke down in sobs. "W-We really fucked up! What kind of friend am I?! I'm supposed to be the FUCKING EPITOME of loyalty but I didn't show it to Sunset!... We're supposed to represent honesty, laughter, genorosity and fucking kindness!" Rainbow continued to sob for a few more seconds before calming down. "We need to call Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity! We all need to figure out a way to make it up to Sunset...If she's even willing to forgive us...." "I'll call them..." Applejack said. "Princess Twilight...is not going to be happy." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ok. I'll tell her...." Logan hung up. He looked at Sunset. "That was my mom. She told me to tell you her team is ready. She's going to pick us up and head straight to the hospital. It's about time you got that chip removed." Sunset felt a bit relieved knowing that she will soon be free of this thing in her neck. A car pulled in and Abigail was in the driver side. She was in her medical uniform. "Let's go, Sunset..." Logan said. Together they got in the car. Logan took the front passenger seat and Sunset in the back. Then they headed straight to the hospital. > Cosequences/Innocent or not? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The office was filled with silence. If that even made sense. An dreadful and uncertain feeling filled the entire room as Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo sat in front of the Principal's desk. Thier heads hung in guilt and shame. Scootaloo was too ashamed to say anything, Sweetie Belle had tears leaking down her cheeks, and Applebloom was on the verge of doing the same, but with that was confusion. How the hell did we get caught?! Celestia was at the desk drumming her fingers when she asked them, "What exactly did you hope to accomplish? What made ruinining an innocent girl's life worth the effort?" She did not shout at them. Not even when they first walked in. The three girls wish she had though. It would have been much easier to handle if Celestia screamed at them. The deep dissapointment in her voice was like a stab to the girl's chests. "I-I was sick of my big sis always hanging with Sunset..." Appleblooms voice was barely audible. "Could you speak up, Applebloom?" Celestia asked. "I was so tired of Applejack always hanging with Sunset!" Applebloom was now hysterical. "It's always Sunset this! Sunset that! Well ahm sick of it! So I had to do something about it!" "I felt the same way too," Sweetie Belle added in. "So I snuck and stole Sunset's phone when she was sleeping and uploaded the pictures." "W-We didn't mean for it to go this far...."Scootaloo said but her voice trailed off. "And not only you ruined Sunset's life, you three also indirectly caused a murder!" Luna was also there. "Do you know how much trouble you are in?! Do you know what the HELL Sunset had to go through?!" Celestia gave her sister a warning look. Luna grumbled and eased her expression. "What?" Applebloom asked fearfully. Luna gave them a cold hard look. "Oh I'm sorry if you weren't filled in all the details. Because of some of your posts, an innocent man had just died a few days ago!" The CMC were speechless. They didn't know what was going to happen to them. They only know it wasn't going to be good things. They couldn't believe it. Because of thier actions, someone had just died. "And I'm willing to bet you would have kept going if you hadn't been caught, am I right?" Luna pressed on. Applebloom couldn't find the answer to speak. "WELL?!" A nod was all that came from Applebloom. "Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. I am deeply dissapointment of what you three had done. Your actions not only hurt an innocent girl but almost everyone here at this school." She had paused for a moment before continuing. "I'm afraid that you three are expelled from this school. Your parents or legal guardian will be notified of this." The CMC had thier heads down in shame. "But first, starting tomorrow, there will be an assembly and you three are going to confess to everyone and delete the account in front of them, do I make myself clear?" the guilty party only nodded. "Good. Now you may go." No one said another word as they left the office. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Look. I know that your a good kid, so just tell me the truth ok?" The officer asked. He and Micro were in the interrogation room. They were sitting at a table. "I didn't mean for anyone to get killed...." Micro was afraid what was going to happen to him. "I swear I had no idea that they would take it this far!" "Calm down, and tell me exactly what happened." The officer said. Microchips calmed down and told him everything. From how we was kidnapped and threatened to unwillingly participate. "So you did it because you feared that they were going to kill your parents," "Yes, sir..." Micro said nervously. "And you didn't think to tell anyone?" "I was thinking that, but they would hurt everyone I love if I ever told them." Micro had his head down in guilt. The officer had thought about it for a moment then said. "I'm going to have to talk with my team about your involvement," he finally said. "You are to wait here while I discuss this matter with them." Micro only nodded as the officer left the room. Micro felt a little relieved. He had told the truth. I hope they let me go...but chances are I'm probably going to get a few year sentence. While he waited he processed in his mind what had just happened. I shouldn't lose too much hope. Maybe they'll go easy on me, while he waited he could hear voices on the other side. He tried to listen in, but it muffled through the walls. He continued to wait while he looked at the clock. 30 minutes later The door opened and the officer entered the room. "After discussing the situation, we decided you're free to go. Sorry for any inconviences." Micro's eyes widened. "Really?" The officer nodded. "I'll called your parents to pick you up. I already told them everything." Micro felt like a weight had been taken off his shoulders. He was innocent! Maybe his life isn't ruined after all. "Thank you so much, Officer." He left the room and waited outside. > Hospital and familar face > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan sat in the chair in the Hospital's waiting room. His mother and her team were working on Sunset. It had been an hour so far. It shouldn't take this long...but he remembered that the chip was deeply lodged inside Sunset's skin and not to mention the fact that it was extremely close to her jugular, and if it broke, then it would be the end of Sunset. He pulled out his phone and went to check on the video he had posted. When he opened it, there were over a thousand comments. A lot of them expressing thier outright fury from knowing the horrible truth, while there were some claiming it to be a fake. WHAT?! THIS CAN'T BE REAL. THIS IS EDITED IT'S THE KIND OF THING SUNSET WOULD DO! I Can't believe this! All this time we were framing Sunset! I don't think she'll ever forgive us! we're fucked. We're so fucking screwed. He slightly smiled to himself. Now everyone was going to regret thier harsh actions towards Sunset. Just then a woman, who looked around his mother's age entered the room. She had dark brown hair and wore a blue skirt black shirt and a pair of heels. She also carried a bag with her. Logan didn't pay any mind to the woman until she heard him say "Oh my goodness! Logan is that you?!" Logan got a little creeped out as thier was someone who knew his name and he had no memory ever meeting them. "Um...hi?....Do I know you?" The woman gasped and smiled. "It is you, Logan! My, you've grown so much since I last saw you!" Now Logan was beginning to get really creeped out. Maybe I should call the cops He was about to until the woman said something that made him stop. "You probably don't remember me but you're mother and I were very close friends. We were even friends during our childhood." "Wait...really?" Logan asked. "You know my mother?" The woman nodded. "Mhm. I even babysat you when you were very little. Don't you remember me?" As if something clicked, the memories came back to Logan when he was only 4 years old and with a babysitter. "Wait..." Logan began to realize. "You remember?" The woman asked with a smile. "Oh my god! I remember now! You're Mrs. Ava!" "Please. Call me Theresa." The woman smiled kindly at him. Logan was amazed. "Wow...even after all these years I still remember. So when was the last time you saw my mother?" "The last time I saw her was when she retired from Abigail's Good Eats. There were so many memories that happened there. Heck, that's even where she met your father!" "Really?" Logan asked. "That's right. I'm telling you, I had never seen anyone who was able to make her smile and laugh. There was a spark in your fathers eyes and there was no doubt they were meant to be together." Theresa's smile started to fade. "And speaking of your father, I heard what had happene on the news. I even called your mother to tell her how sorry I am for her and your loss." "Thanks...It really means a lot to hear that." Logan smiled. "So I wonder who's the new owner now that my mom left." "You're looking at her." Theresa said with a smile. "Wait....you?" Logan did not see this coming. "You're the new owner?" Theresa nodded. "before your mom retired, she had taught me everything I needed to know to become the next owner of Abigail's. I promised her I would continue to carry on her resturaunt even after she left." Logan was about to say something Theresa reached into her bag. "Oh and this is why I came here. I wanted to give this to your mother to cheer her up." She handed Logan something wrapped in holiday paper. "It's from the old Abigail's staff team." Logan took the object. "So what brings you here, Logan?" "Oh, I'm just waiting. Someone's in the operating room right now...I don't know what I'll do if I lose her...she's very special to me." "I know things will get better, dear. Just stay strong and never give up hope." Logan smiled and said, "thanks. That really means a lot." The door that led to the hospital's hallway opened up and Abigail stepped inside. "Mom, is Sunset ok?" Logan immediatley asked. Abigail looked at her son and said, "The operation was a success. We were able to get the chip removed without harming any vital veins or structures, but she's still asleep from the anathesia, but she's going to be ok." Logan felt greatly relieved upon hearing the news. He had been waiting and was afraid about hearing the worse, Sunset never being the same...or worse...the thought made him shiver. "Abigail..." Theresa said. Abigail noticed Theresa for the first time. Like Logan, she did not recognize the woman who had said her name. "It's me...Do you remember me?" Theresa asked with hope. Abigail put her hand over her mouth and gasped. "Oh...my....god. Theresa...Is that really you?" But even after all these years, she still recognized her childhood friend. Theresa nodded and smiled. "It is you!" Abigail said happily. She went over to her friend and gave her a warm hug. "I haven't seen you since I left Abigail's! How are you?" "I've been doing great. And after all these years I still never forgot about you...we did everything together." Theresa said. "So how's Abigail's doing?" "It's going amazing. It's still running strong under my ownership. And none of it wouldn't have been possible without you." The words touched Abigail's hearts. Logan then remembered something. "Mom, this is something from the old Abigail's staff team." he said as he handed his mother the wrapped object. "Really? For me?" she asked. She took the wrapped object and opened it up. It was a black plaque with gold rims on it. It was a picture of Abigail when she was younger with her old staff team. underneath it was a message. Abigail, We know this is long overdue, but there are no words to describe the gratitude we have for you. You have founded and raised a generation that we had never thought was possible. Not only you are an amazing cook but an amazing person as well. We had all enjoyed working with you and would never forget all you had done for us. We had all heard about your loss and we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. We hope you can accept this small token of appreciation. Thanks for everything you do. Abigail put her hand over her mouth as she felt her heart melt. "Do you like it?" Theresa asked. "Like it...I love it!" Abigail exclaimed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go check on Sunset." > Sunset/Assembly > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The door to the Hospital Hallways opened and the doctors escorted Sunset in a wheelchair. She wore a light blue patient gown. She looked tired. "Sunset!" Logan said happily as he ran towards her. Her knelt down and gave her a hug, being careful not to be too hard and hurt her. Sunset hugged him back as she started to cry tears of joy. She had someone to love and care for her. Someone who would always stay by her side, no matter what. They broke the hug and were now face to face. Logan wasn't sure if they should kiss with others watching in the waiting room, but Sunset didn't care at all. She grabbed Logan's head and pulled him in for a kiss. This caught him off guard a bit but he didn't resist either. His lips were pressed against hers. After a few seconds they broke apart. Abigail watched with a warm smile. "Take care of her, Logan. If you're father was here, he would be so proud of you." ----‐---------------‐-—----------------------- The next day at school, there was an assembly that took place after first period. Now everyone had seen the video so they already knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant one. But they still felt like they needed a confession from the real culprits to finally bring this mess to a close. As soon as first period was over, the students made thier way over to the gymnasium. Once they gathered inside, no one said anything. They were all silent and filled with guilt and shame. They knew whatever was going to come out of this wasn't gong to be pretty. The Rainbooms were there too. Fluttershy and Pinkie had been crying, Rarity was speechless, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash were too ashamed to say anything. In the front of the gym stood the CMC, but they weren't the only ones. There also stood Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, and Princess Twilight Sparkle herself. Celestia came on the mic and tapped it to get it working. "Good evening, students. I assume you know why we called you in here," The whole student body was silent. Only a few nodded while others made an uncompreshinsble murmur. "I cannot bring myself to express the dissapointment I have for each and everyone of you, so I'll let Twilight do the talking." Twilight took the mic from her. "Thank you, Principal." She turned towards the students. "There are a few things I would like to say to all of you." Twilight's tone was calm but there was no doubt there was a burning anger within. She first turned to the CMCs who had thier heads down. "What in the hell were you three thinking? What did you hope to gain for all of this? Not only did you turn everyone against each-other, you also framed an innocent girl for it. Not only that, you three have indirectly caused a murder so congrats, you probably got yourself a one-way ticket to jail." Somehow, Twilight's calm, but cold voice struck harder than if she had screamed. The three girls were looking on the floor and crying. "And today, you three are going to confess and delete the account in front of everybody. Do I make myself clear?" The three real culprits only nodded. Then Twilight turned towards the Rainbooms. "And you five...I trutsted you." The Rainbooms didn't dare say anything. "I trusted all of you, and you broke it," Twilight said with no emotion. "The five people who were supposed to represent the very epitome of friendship, did the exact opposite. Let me ask you this? Did you ever....and I mean ever stopped to consider that Sunset was being framed?" "W-We started to have doubts...after we heard about what happened on the news." Applejack muttered. She was too guilt-wrethced to look at Twilight, who sighed and asked "Anyone else wanna say something?" "We wanted to let Sunset know how terrible we felt...and we would do anything to make it up to her," Rainbow said sadly. "But we wouldn't blame her if she can't find it in her heart to forgive us." Twilight then addressed the whole crowd. "and then there's all of you. You allowed your anger and hatred to get so worked up you didn't even care about using Sunset as a scapegoat. each and everyone of you used this as an excuse to put her through a living hell and didn't even stop to consider the other possibilities. You know, if the dazzlings were still here, all of you would have been the perfect buffet for them as they feed off your hatred." Twilight turned back to the CMCs. "Now it's time for you to confess and delete the account for good." Applebloom stepped up first and took the mic. "I was tired of Applejack always spending time with Sunset. I needed to do something about it. So I created Anon-A-Miss and made it look like Sunset did it." Appleblooms voice was barely above a normal speaking level. Sweetie took the mic. "I felt the same way too, so I snuck and stole Sunset's phone and downloaded the pictures." Everyone gasped. Then it was Scootaloos time to speak. "Anon-A-Miss started to get out of hand. We posted everything," she held her head down. The Rainbooms listened as thier hearts began to shatter. Rarity put her hands over her mouth and began to cry. Her sister. Her own flesh and blood had commited something she could never imagine her doing. Applejack heart was shattered as she heard her sister confess. She didn't know whether to hug her or strangle her to death, but either way there was a broken heart. Applebloom then showed them deleting the account for good on the projection screen. Are you sure you want to delete the account? it asked. Applebloom clicked yes and the account was now gone. No one said anything else as Vice Principal Luna took the mic from them. "You three are indefinitley expelled from this school immediatley, but you three aren't the only ones going to be punished." She then addressed the whole crowd. "From now on, any phones are electronics are banned on school grounds. All other websites will be blocked and the only thing you will use the school computers for is school work and that's it." The students understood what was happening. They deserved it. "Principal...Are we going to go to jail?" Sweetie Belle asked. There was a few seconds of tension before Celestia shook her head. "No. You're not." The three girl's gasped. "Why not?" "Well why don't you ask him?" Applebloom noticed Logan walking towards them. He stopped infront of them and looked at them. "What you three was completley horrendous and I don't think anyone will ever forgive you...but sending you to jail with Gilda is something even I can't stand doing. I've seen what Gilda is capapble of doing, so I wouldn't want anyone to suffer her wrath." He paused for a moment before continuing on. "I hope you can use this time to reflect back on what you three did." He handed the mic back to Celestia. "Thank you. That's all I have to say to them." "Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, go clean out your locker. You three are expelled." The CMCs obeyed as they went to thier locker to gather thier belongings. Then Celestia and Luna dismissed the rest of the students. They left the gymnasium and if there was one thing they were feeling, it was dread and guilt. > Life of Owen Pace > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan and Abigail sat on the front row. There was also an old woman and man in the same row, and a younger man. He was the same one who had been interviewd on the news. These were all Owen's closest familes. His parents, brother, son, and wife. Logan wore a black suit and tie and so did most other people there. Abigial wore a formal black skirt, she also had a handkerchief as she wiped her tears from her eyes. Sunset was there too. She like Abigial wore a black skirt. Logan had insisted to Sunset that she stayed back at the house and rest but Sunset wanted to go. She told him that showing up to Owen's funeral was the least she could do to pay him back for letting her stay at the house. Sunset sat in the third row, which was where Owen's closest friends were. The younger man in the front row stepped foward infront of the coffin and spoke. "Good evening everyone. Today we will remember the life of Owen Pace. A few days ago, he was shot and killed on his very front porch and he never made it." The people watching were silently crying. The man continued. "My brother...He had always been there for me..." He was having trouble talking as they were interrupted by abrupt sobs. "Growing up...we did everything together. I remember we went to the same school and others would pick on me. But Owen would always stand up for me. He always made sure I felt safe, happy and at home. I would always recall him saying to me, 'Oscar. I know life can make you feel down. But the best thing you can do is keep going and never give up. I will be forever grateful for what he's done for me. He will always be the best big brother I ever had." He sat back down and it was the old woman's turn to speak. She looked like she had been crying more than Oscar. "My first baby..." the old woman started to sob as she wiped her tears with her handekerchief. "My first baby had always been a little rascal. Always getting into all kinds of touble, but even with all that he had a big heart. A heart of gold. He made others smile during the hardest times, he always made everything better and his laugh...they would make even the most stubborn people smile. I know I can't have my baby back, but I do miss him very much!" The old woman sobbed as she went back to her seat. Now it was Abigial's turn to speak. She got up from her seat and went to the front. Tears welled up in her eyes as she knew that this would be the last time she would see Owen. After a few seconds, she find herself with enough confidence to speak. "When I first met Owen at Abigial's I saw something. I saw a sparkle shine in his eyes, and I thought to myself, maybe he's a good person. But I was wrong. He wasn't a good person. He was an amazing man who loved me dearly and I love him too with all my heart! I always enjoyed his company. Even after a hard day at work, he would always make me feel at ease and reassure everything was going to be ok. I miss him so much! so I had put together a video montage. I hope you'll enjoy it." Abigail played the montage on the projection screen and it began to play. The first image showed Owen as a baby being held by his parents. He had a joyful expression on his face and so did his parents. The next slide showed Owen playing tag with his younger brother, Oscar. From the looks of it, they were both laughing and having a great time. The next slide showed Owen as a 6 year old with a backpack on. There was a caption underneath it. "First day of school!" the next slides showed Owen as he progressed throughout the school years. There were pictures of him playing football, having fun with his friends, and just having a blast. After the high school memories, there was now the college. It showed Owen as he progressed throughout the years and him graduating and holding his degree. His friends cheering for him and his parents giving him a big hug. After that, the next slide showed Owen and Abigial on the beach together. It showed Owen kneeling down and proposing to Abigail. Abigial watched the montage and felt herself on the verge of tears. She remembered that special day. after the beach slide, showed Owen and Abigail kissing on thier wedding day. This was too much for Abigial as she started to cry like a baby. Logan noticed and started to comfort his mother. He too felt a sadness in him. He looked back at the montage. Abigail and Owen looked so young... The slide after that showed Owen holding Logan as a 2 year old baby and giving him a shoulder ride. It also showed Logan coverting his father's eyes. "Awwww" Sunset gasped in adorableness. Logan blushed when he heard Sunset. After that, it showed Owen making a funny face towards a 4 year old Logan and making him laugh, playing catch with him, and many more happy memories. After a few more slides, the last slide showed them in the recent past. Logan, Abigial, and Owen in a family picture. Then the montage ended. After turning off the video, it was time for the gathering. They went into the next room and got thier plates and gathered thier food. Abigail was mingling with her friends and Logan sat down at the table Sunset was at. "You know...I gotta admit. I do appreciate you coming with us. You really didn't have to," "Come on, it was the least I could do." Sunset said with a smile. "Oh and by the way, I heard Gilda and her gang are gettign a long sentence, so you don't have to worry about them anymore." Sunset felt happy knowing she would finally be safe. "And how's your neck by the way?" Logan asked. Sunset touched where the chip had been lodged. There was still a bit of pain in it, but at least it was gone. "It's feeling a lot better, thanks." she smiled but her smile soon started to fade. Logan noticed and asked. "Sunset...are you ok?" Logan saw Sunset beginning to sob. "Was it...something I said?" Sunset shook her head. "Logan...how would you react if I told you...I'm different?" "Sunset, baby. I already know you're different. Everyone's different. No two people are the same." Logan said. But Sunset shook her head again. "I mean, what if I told you...that I'm not actually from here...and I'm actually somethign else..." Logan was confused from what Sunset was saying. "Perhaps you can explain more about to me tomorrow?" "Alright. I can do that." Sunset said. Logan gave her a comforting hug and they ate. > Sunset and the Rainbooms > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow was the last day of school before the winter break. Usually this was supposed to be a time of joy and happiness, but it wasn't. After everything that has happened: the harassment, bullying, and even murder. No one felt any joy in this school. There was no laughter. There was no smile on any student's faces. Only horror and regret. The Rainbooms felt it the worse. They were sitting at the cafeteria all reflecting on how they had treated Sunset the past week. Applejack felt something tug her leg. She looked down and saw Applebloom with tears in her eyes. "Applebloom..." Applejack began to say. "Applejack...do you still love me?" The farmer sighed and looked at her younger sister. "Ah'm very angry with you, young woman. And ah mean furious! If you want to prove you really care, then you're going to have to do something to make up for all this mess!" Her expression began to soften. "But ah still do love you. Nothing will ever stop me from loving my own little sister." Applebloom felt a little relieved. "But don't think we'll have a long talk when we get home!" Applejack said sternly. "Rarity..." Sweetie Belle was also there, along with Scootaloo. "Same with Applejack." Rarity responded. "We may be very angry with what you did, but in the end, family always forgives...although they never come easy." Sweetie Belle understood. Scootaloo slowly and nervously approached Rainbow Dash. "Do...you hate me?" she asked, but she figured out the answer. The athlete looked at her honorary sister and shook her head. "I don't hate you as much as I hate myself. If I called you horrible, then I would just be a hypocrite with the way I treated Sunset." That was all Rainbow had to say. The three freshmen girls walked away. Leaving the Rainbooms alone. "Come on!" Rainbow suddenly said. "We need to prove to Sunset we really do care about her!" "But where could she be?" asked Rarity. They got up from the table and looked around the school. They didn't seem to be anywhere inside. Then Pinkie looked out the window and pointed. "She and that new kid are outside by the statue!" The Rainbooms wasted no time as they headed straight outside towards the two near the Wondercolt's Statue. "SUNSET WAIT!" Sunset and Logan looked at the Rainbooms. Sunset grumbled something under her breath. "What do you want?" "Listen, Sunset sugarcube...we wanted to tell you...we're sorry..." Applejack couldn't finish her sentence. "Well you should have said that sooner," Sunset said her voice beginning to rise. "Sunset-" Rainbow began but Sunset exploded in front of them. "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU ALL LEAVE ME WHILE I GOT PUT THROUGH A LIVING HELL?!" Sunset was now hysterical with fresh tears leaking down her cheeks. "YOU NEVER GAVE ME A FUCKING CHANCE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF! WAS I WORTH SO LITTLE TO YOU THAT HEARING MY SIDE MEANT NOTHING TO YOU AT ALL?! DID YOU EVER STOP TO CONSIDER I WAS BEING FRAMED OR DID YOU JUST USE THIS ANON-A-MISS AS AN EXCUSE TO FINALLY GET RID OF ME?!" "Sugarcube, we didn't mean to-" "DON'T LIE, APPLEJACK! YOU MEANT TO. ALL OF YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME! YOU AND THE OTHERS WERE ONLY MY FRIEND BECAUSE TWILIGHT TOLD YOU TO, AND YOU WERE JUST WAITING FOR AN EXCUSE TO DUMP ME LIKE SHIT!" Logan pulled Sunset in for a hug and embraced her as his shirt started to get wet from her tears. "Sunset, baby calm down ok? I'll talk with them. Why don't you wait for me on the other side?" He kissed her cheek and Sunset walked into the portal in the statue. He then turned and look at the Rainbooms. "Logan...we just want to say thanks for sparing our little sisters. We really do appreciate it." Rarity said nervously. Logan sighed and spoke. "Listen...I know that even what you did, deep down you're all decent human beings. I've forgiven all of you already and your sisters. But Sunset? It's going to take a lot more than an apology if you ever want her friendship back...maybe one day, we can all be friends and leave this past behind us, but that day is not today nor will it be anytime soon. Goodbye for now." He too went into the portal leaving the Rainbooms. Fluttershy and Pinkie had never cried so hard in thier lives and Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, and Rarity felt like doing the same. > Logan in Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logan groaned as he tried to regain his conciouss. "Where am I?" he asked. He looked around. It seemed like he was in a library. He looked at his hands. "What the f-" "It's ok...that's supposed to happen." Sunset was there too but she was an yellow unicorn with a red and yellow streaked mane. "You're a pegasus!" Logan noticed a nearby mirror and looked at his new form for the first time. He was a light gray pegasus with wings and his mane was the same color as his hair in human form. "Why am I a pegasus?" "Because this world is different from yours," Sunset answered. "And it's also where I was born." Sunset then looked down. "Logan, would you still love me...even if I was a pony?" she felt tears well up in her eyes. "It's ok if you don't now that you know the truth..." "Sunset, look at me. I don't care about that. Even if you're really a pony, I still love you, and I will never leave you. I promise." Sunset cried as they hugged and Logan embraced her tightly. After they kissed, Logan whispered into her ear. "I love you, Sunset." "I-I love you too!" Sunset cried into his mane. THE END. > Epilpoque > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gilda and her gang were given a 10 year sentence for the murder. Gilda had pleaded not guilty due to insanity but with no convincing evidence, she was given the sentence. There was nothing her or her mother could do about it. ---------‐--------------------------------------- The Rainbooms continue to regret thier treatment towards sunset and things are never the same anymore. Rainbow barely goes out, Pinkie is a lot more quiet, Rarity spends weeks in the bathroom crying, and AppleJack continues to silently work on the farm to take her mind off her misery. Fluttershy was too depressed to even talk to anyone. The CMCs had thier technology taken from them as soon as they got home. Applejack and Rarity never spoke to thier sisters, and it's probably a good thing too because right now is a good time to cool down. ------------------------------------------------------ Sunset and Logan continue to be together. Logan has met Princess Celestia and Luna. Logan suggests that they can visit Sunset's homeworld every once in a while to cheer her up. Sunset had finally found someone who cared for her. After returning back to the human world, they soon discover about Micro Chips involvement on the news but was declared innocent due to him being unwilling to cooperate. During a trip to the mall, Sunset confronts Micro and forgives him for everything.
