Chapter 21
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
-William Congreve
“I can't believe their little sisters started this mess!” Sunset was enraged. “And they just let it go! ‘Oh, you tried to ruin someone's life and in doing tore the school apart? All is forgiven just like that!’ I spent so much time and work to redeem myself. Which in the end didn't even seem to matter! For fuck’s sake they never trusted me at all. Hell, in order to even sit with them at lunch, they forced to keep my phone unlocked so they could check it any time they wanted!” As Sunset continued her rant and wolfed down her food, Flash continued to listen with boundless patience.
“Wait, isn't the reason they blamed you because it was photos from your phone?” Flash asked her in between bites.
Aria laughed and explained, “Karma is a bitch, they did it to themselves!”
“Petty sure jealousy and mistrust were their undoing in the end,” Adagio remarked, “It's frustrating that three little girls succeeded where we failed.” Sonata and Aria couldn’t help but sigh in agreement with their sister.
“Well if you had succeeded, you wouldn't be here right now,” Flash pointed out.
“Not really the point, even if it is true,” Adagio admitted.
“What are going to do Sunset?” Twilight asked.
“What I already was going to do, I don't want those six anywhere near me,” Sunset declared, “Pinkie and Fluttershy I don't mind, they apologized before the truth came out, plus other than the first confrontation, they ignored me. Well, Pinkie glared at me a bit, but that's nothing,”
Sunset wasn’t petty, even if they hadn't asked for forgiveness she would have left them alone. They hadn't done anything to warrant her wrath. She couldn't wait to see their faces.
“Oh! By the way, did you get any of the video footage from the parking garage?” Flash asked
“I hadn't even thought about that! Brilliant idea Flash, I knew there was a reason I kept you around,” Sunset teased him.
Flash grinned, “So it’s not just for my good looks,” he then placed his hand under his chin and batted his eyes. “I am the prettiest here after all,” Aria smacked him with one of Sunset's throw pillows.
"The dogs better-looking than you," retorted Aria after recovering her pillow.
"I'm even better looking as a dragon," Spike chimed in, leading to everyone else just rolling their eyes.
"Want me to punch their faces in? I still have the boxing gloves you got me. We can borrow a car Flash can be the getaway driver and we can both wear a balaclava so they won't see our faces?" Aria asked obviously petting thought into the beziar plan of hers.
"Maybe that could be an option if I don't win the court case," Sunset relented.
Aira shrugged and said, "Whatever, just offering."
"Now about this video footage, we need to find it and use it. After all the look on their faces when they see their friends faces on camera damaging Sunset’s bike will be priceless," Adagio smirked deviously.
"Maybe my old boss would be willing to come to court. I also have to head to the police station," Sunset stated as she still had things to get done before the court case.

Sunset sat on the uncomfortable bench in her nice but itchy new clothes waiting for her case to start. She was early so it was a bit of a weight. Her friends were right there waiting with her, along with Pinkie Pie and Flutershy. Flash's parents were on there way over. Twilight had even managed to make it, the purple Princess herself sitting next to her with a warm hand on her leg.
"It's going to go just fine Sunset, I promise they won't be able to hurt you anymore," she said calmly.
"Don't forget that we have a backup plan just in case," Aria remind her.
"We could always sing," Sonata suggested.
Adagio shook her head, "Too many people here, we don't have that kind of power any more."
"God Sonata, how stupid can you get?" Aria snarked.
Footsteps signaled that someone was headed their way, as they came closer it was Flash. He smiled slightly at them. "Dads just trying to find a good parking spot they should be in soon." he sat in the space between Aria and Sonata. He was surprisingly good at keeping them from each other's throats.
"Anyone show up yet?" he asked.
"Not yet. If they don't show, the judge may grant the restraining orders anyway if I'm lucky." Sunset explained. "Everything else I'm not sure about. The restraining orders are the most important thing though. I don't trust them not to continue hurting me. Just because the truth is out doesn't mean a thing."
"Were here!" Pinkie announced as she and Fluttershy joined the group.
"Hello," Fluttershy quietly greeted the group.
There were two more sets of footsteps coming down the hall and it wasn't long before Sunset found herself warped in Thunder’s arms almost being crushed to death.
"Thunder, let the poor girl go," Jade told her husband.
"If you ever feel threatened by anyone ever again, you tell us right away, promise me Sunset." Thunder said putting her back on the ground and his hands on her shoulders. He looked over at the others, "The same goes for the rest of you,"
"We have plenty of room and have friends who can help," Jade added.
"I'll keep that in mind if things don't work out today," Sunset hadn't even considered that. It was still odd having others to lean on in times of need.
"Miss Shimmer?" While they were talking the courtroom, the doors had been opened and a sharply dressed women had stepped through.
Sunset turned to the women, "That would be me,"
"Would you and your party please come inside?"
Everyone headed inside the courtroom.
