Finding Family.

"And you're sure that's all you can remember?" After what seemed like hours, Sunset finally managed to calm down enough to answer the questions that the officer handling her case had needed to ask her. Seeing the girl nod, Shining Armor sighed and closed the notepad he was holding before slipping it into his pocket. "Right then, this should be enough for the arrest warrants. Don't worry we'll bring them in, just leave the rest to us." With that the officer left, leaving only only the doctor and Sirens with the girl the fire haired girl.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, I'd like to discuss your injuries with you, and I must say that you are quite lucky Miss Shimmer." Doctor Hoarse walked over to one of the machines used to show x-rays and turned it on, revealing an x-ray that showed how Sunset's leg was broken in three places. "Despite the beating you took, and the fact that we lost you twice during the operation, you will manage to make a full recovery, though you may have to go through physical therapy for your leg, which, barring any further injuries, should take three months to heal."

The doctor turned to the girl and frowned. "Speaking of which, I noticed that your ID and medical records didn't list an address." Sunset didn't notice the fact that the Siren's faces seemed to have steeled. "Assuming that this means you're homeless..." Sunset looked away and nodded, slightly ashamed of the fact that she didn't have a place to live. "In that case, i need to ask, where do you plan to stay while you recover once you've been discharged?"

"Oh, I'll just stay with my friends..." Sunset stopped halfway through her answer, realizing that at this point her 'friends' were not a viable option. She stayed silent for a moment before looking down at her hands. "I... I don't know..."

"I see, well in that case I suppose we cou-" The doctor was cut off by Sonata, whom, much to Sunset's shock, announced the last thing she ever thought she'd hear from one of her former enemies.

"She can stay with us!" Adagio and Aira looked at the girl for a second before looking at each other.

After a moment Adagio nodded. "Well... We do have a few spare rooms... Not to mention the fact that it would be a nice way to repay her."

Aria placed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes at her fellow Sirens before seeing Sunset out of the corner of her eye and groaning before placing a hand to her forehead. "I guess we kinda owe her and the Rainbooms for breaking our amulets..." The small cringe Sunset made at the mention of the Rainbooms did not escape the notice of the eldest Siren. "Fine, if it's ok with her she can stay at our place... But if she goes in my room I'm going to rip her, and the two of you, into so many pieces that the person with the highest IQ on the planet won't be able to count them all!" The Siren got up and walked over to the door. "I'm gonna get something to eat from the cafeteria... Damn pony magic making me remember I have a conscience..."

After Aria walked out Sonata walked over and placed a hand on Sunset's shoulder. "Don't worry about Aria, she's always grumpy." The Siren went over to the door and looked over her shoulder back at the other two. "Imma' go get a taco, you two want anything?" Sunset just stared dumb at the Siren as she left.

'Am I on Mars? Tell me I'm on Mars. None of this makes any sense, I must be on Mars!'

"Well then if Miss Shimmer has no objections..." Sunset, despite her mind going at about thrice the maximum speed of a bullet train, weighed her options before nodding.

"Yeah, I'm fine with it, it's not like I have anywhere else to go..." The doctor nodded and wrote something down on a notepad he had with him.

"Now then, while I'm here, I'd like to ask how you are going to pay your bills..." Adagio's voice was the one to speak up, her words bringing Sunset's mind to a halt.

"I'll be paying the bills doctor." The former pony's head snapped in the direction of the Siren and Sunset's eye began to twitch as the doctor nodded and left the room. She remained silent for a moment before opening her mouth, only for Adagio to place her hand over it.

"This is not a scheme to get you into our debt Sunset Shimmer, think of this as our way of thanking you and your..." Remembering how Sunset had cringed at the mention of the Rainbooms and the fact she had stopped midway when saying she could stay with her friends, Adagio searched for the right term for this situation. "Acquaintances... For breaking our amulets and making it so that we no longer need to feed off negative energy..."

"But I-"

"Are going to lay down and get some more rest, you're not really in a position, nor the best state of mind to argue after all."

Sunset stared at the Siren and groaned before laying back down, knowing that she was right.

Canterlot High right after the final bell.

Rainbow and her friends were standing in front of the statue, Fluttershy holding Sunset's journal, waiting for Princess Twilight to arrive. Applejack, having seen that Rainbow was in a strange state all day, finally got fed up. "All right, that's it Rainbow! Either you tell us what's got you moodier than Winnona when I'm to busy to play with her, or I'll hog tie you and-"

"I made a big mistake AJ. I did something terrible and I'll never be able to take it back... And I don't think it's something my teenage friends are going to be able to help me with it." Rainbow turned and looked as Twilight emerged from the portal, a stern expression on her face. "Twilight, thank god you're he-" The other four humans gasped in shock when Twilight struck Rainbow across the face hard enough to knock her to the ground. Rainbow didn't say anything in response, she didn't even try to get up.

"Now Twilight that was-"

"Princess."

AJ stopped and looked at the Princess. "'Scues me?"

The pony in a human body turned at looked at her, a look of rage in her eyes. "I said 'Princess'. That is how you shall refer to me from now until we fix this mess. Only my friends get to refer to me by my name!" The words left the cowgirl stunned as Twilight walked past her, her eyes set on Sunset's journal.

"B-b-but we are friends..." Fluttershy started shaking as the purple girl marched over, holding the book up for protection before Twilight ripped it out of her hands.

Twilight snorted. "Oh, you mean you're going to leave me crying my eyes out in the middle of the school? Sorry but I think I'll pass!"

"Twilight, darling, we would-" Rarity was silenced by the glare Twilight sent her way, quickly amending her statement. "Princess Twilight, you can't honestly be taking that traitor's side!"

"Traitor? You're being hypocrite Rarity. I think I already know who Anon-a-Miss is, and it's not Sunset!" The girls, excluding Rainbow, whom had gotten back on her feet and was standing in silence off to the side, gasped in shock. "I'd stand here and explain away every single piece of your theory and tell you who Anon-a-Miss really is, but right now I need to find Sunset before she does something stupid and hurt-"

"There's no point in looking for her..." Twilight turned and looked at Rainbow Dash with a mixture of rage and confusion on her face.

"What are you saying Rainbow?"

"I'm saying I fucked up. Badly. I did something that can't be undone... Sunset's gone... I... I..." Rainbow wasn't able to finish her sentence before she started crying.

After a moment Twilight's eyes widened and the journal fell from her hands. "No... No! She's not, you couldn't have..." The pony ran over and placed her hands on the teens shoulders. "Rainbow, please tell me you didn't!" When Rainbow didn't answer Twilight backed away and started to repeatedly shake her head. "Nonononono! This can't be real!" Before Twilight's mind unraveled any further a voice called out to them.

"Excuse me, but would any of you happen to be Rainbow Dash?" Before anyone else could respond Rainbow walked up to the approaching officer, turned around and got on her knees before placing her hands on her head, much to her friend's confusion. "I'm not going to lie, part of me was hoping I'd get to chase Canterlot High's star runner."

Rainbow didn't make any snark comments as she was lifted to her feet and her hands were placed behind her back. As she was being stood up Principal Celestia and Vice principal Luna walked over. "Excuse me Officer, but would you mind explaining why you and your friends just put four of my students in handcuffs and you're raising that number to five?" Seeing who the officer was arresting she huffed. "Number five being the captain of the soccer team no less."

The officer ignored her, choosing to follow protocol instead. "Rainbow Dash, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Sunset Shimmer." All those gathered, aside from Twilight, who now was beginning to have hope, hearing the officer say attempted murder, gasped in shock and started to protest. The officer ignored said protests as he began to lead Rainbow away. "You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you?" All Rainbow could do was simply nod as she was placed in the back of a police cruiser with Gilda.
