Twilight Sparkle emerged from portal in her human form along with Spike in his dog form.

“I hope we’re not too late, Spike.” She said to her assistant.

“Twilight, look!” Spike pointed his paw up to the glowing, vibrating book on top of the portal.

Twilight gasped when she saw what Spike had found. She grabbed Sunset Shimmer’s journal from where she left it and stared at with visible fear in her face. She knew she had to find Sunset and fast. With that she dashed through the entrance doors of the school and headed straight down one of the hallways with Spike in toe. If she was going to find Sunset now she would need help and who better to help her than the other five she befriended when she first came to this world. But she would also have to try and convince them that Sunset was innocent.

“Hey it’s Twilight! How’s it goin’ Twilight? Twilight?” one of the students in the hall called to Twilight when he saw her. But she had no time for polite formalities and continued rushing down the hallways.

“Sunse- Oof!” Twilight started to call but then bumped into someone and fell on her back. To her surprise the person she had just collided into was Flash Sentry, a boy she secretly had a crush on.

“Twilight! We really gotta stop bumping into each other like this. Are you okay?” Flash asked as he helped Twilight to her feet.

Twilight got right to the point, “Flash, I need help. Sunset Shimmer’s gone missing. Do you know where the other five girls are?”

Flash could see the great concern on Twilight’s face. He was among the people who believed Sunset Shimmer was Anon-a-Miss, but now he was starting to doubt his beliefs. “Last I heard they were having lunch at Sugarcube Café. They should be returning back to the school now.”

“Thank you, Flash.” Twilight expressed her gratitude and raced back down the hall toward the main entrance. Flash watched her leave with a worried expression on his face. Behind a corner, three certain young girls had watched the two talk with each other and they too looked extremely worried.

Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie had come through the main entrance of the school, all of them looking very glum. Their deepest secrets had been posted on the internet and their Christmas ruined, and they still believed that it was their former friend, Sunset Shimmer. Fluttershy pulled a small wrapped gift out of her pocket, it was labeled 'To Sunset Shimmer'. She glared at it and threw it into a nearby trash can. Little did they know that things were about to get much worse, and they would find a new person to blame for all this. Just then, they saw their other dimension friend, Twilight Sparkle, running down the hall toward them. None of them expected to see her so soon.

“Twilight?! What are you doin’ here?” Applejack was the first one to ask.

“I know about what’s been happening here.” Twilight got right to it. “What have you done?!”

“What do you mean ‘what have we done’? Sunset’s the one responsible for all this!” Rainbow Dash retorted.

“You’re wrong! Sunset’s been writing to me about all her problems.” Twilight handed them Sunset’s journal which Fluttershy took and began reading through. “Please ask yourselves: Why the Sunset Shimmer you know, the REAL Sunset Shimmer, do something like this?”

As the five looked through the pages of the book, they read all of the sad entries Sunset had written to Twilight. Now they were starting to doubt themselves for thinking Sunset Shimmer was the one responsible for all this. However, Rainbow Dash was border lining on a state between terrible realization and denial. “Well if it wasn’t her, then who was it?”

“It was us.” A voice came from behind Twilight. The six turned to see the three certain young girls; who happened to be Apple Bloom, Applejack’s younger sister, Sweetie Belle, Rarity’s younger sister, and Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash’s biggest fan. All three of them looked extremely guilty.

“WHAT?!” all five friends gasped when they heard this. “Apple Bloom, how could you?!” AJ cried.

“We never wanted anythin’ like this to happen.” Apple Bloom said nervously.

“Well what did you want?” Twilight asked in a serious tone.

“Well ya see, ever since ya’ll became friends with Sunset, we’ve been seein’ our sisters less and less. Ah was jealous, so ah created Anon-a-Miss, posted that story about Applejack, and made it look like Sunset Shimmer did it.”

“Apple Bloom told me about it and I felt the same way.” Sweetie Belle confessed. “At Rarity’s, while you all were asleep, I downloaded the pictures on Sunset’s phone and posted them on the internet.”

“Things got out of hand. People started sending other secrets to her, we posted everything.” Scootaloo explained while tears started forming in Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle’s eyes.

“Why didn’t you just talk to your sisters about how you felt?” Twilight asked.

The three girls tried anxiously to think of a reason why they didn’t do that, but Apple Bloom truthfully and tearfully said “Ah… ah don’t know. Ah guess we thought they wouldn’t listen to us.”

“Well now Sunset Shimmer is gone.” Twilight sadly told them. “Her last message to me said that she had lost hope and decided to run away. I came here in hopes that you all could help me find her before something really bad happened to her.”

Hearing this, intense horror and regret swept over the eight girls, particularly the five. They were all completely wrong about Sunset Shimmer. She was innocent.

“Sunset was telling the truth!” Fluttershy said visibly horrified. She ran back over to the trash can she threw Sunset's present in and started frantically fishing around in it. She was starting to panic, but then she finally found the gift, held it to her chest for a moment, put it in her pocket, and rejoined the others.

“WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!” Pinkie Pie cried and immediately whipped out her cellphone and dialed Sunset’s number. “Please answer, please answer, please ANSWER!” But Sunset Shimmer had just noticed that the batteries in her phone had died so she couldn’t receive Pinkie’s desperate call. “Something’s wrong! I can’t get through!”

“It’s not working with mine either!” said a scared Rarity who had tried to call Sunset on her phone as well.

“We have to find her, Twi! And fast!” a worried AJ told her friend while the three younger girls started crying.

“It’s not going to be easy in this weather at this time of day. We need more help!” Twilight said as she looked out at the cold, dark winter night that blanketed the outside world.

“And we know just where to get it!” announced Apple Bloom who had regained enough composer to stop sobbing for a moment.

Meanwhile, a train was passing through a dark, snowy forest. The train operator was happily listening to the music on his headphones, completely oblivious to the menacing looking man who had just entered the engine room and was now standing right behind him. The man grabbed the operator’s headphones and stabbed him in the throat with a knife. The operator gagged as blood spurted from the wound in his neck. The killer retracted his knife and let go of the operator who fell face first on the train controls causing the locomotive to come to a sudden stop. The killer hopped off the train and looked at his surroundings. He was satisfied where he was. While he had stowed away on the train, he found out that the next stop was near a nuclear power plant and he saw this as a ‘good opportunity for heavy casualties among this pathetic population.’

“It’s snowing.” He thought to himself, “Almost forgot it was the holiday season. Well, I’m afraid this won’t be a very Merry Christmas for anyone this year. The Grinch has come to town and he’s bringing death!” And with that, he readied his rifle and disappeared into the forest in search of his next victims.
