The doors of the school flew open suddenly only to be followed by a forlorn Sunset Shimmer passing through them in tears. “Why won’t they believe me?” She asked herself as she sat down on the school’s steps hiding her face in her arms. The past week flashed through her mind. She thought about the MyStable account that had appeared out of nowhere and shared first her friends’ secrets and embarrassing moments before progressing to spreading things about the entirety of Canterlot High. Despite her pleas her newfound friends had been quick to blame the posts of this ‘Anon-A-Miss’ as her own and she could hardly blame them, the evidence against her was pretty damning. Tears streamed down Sunset’s face as she remembered how even the girl she loved did her best to avoid her. “Well... I whoever this ‘Anon-A-Miss’ is has won...” Sunset said sadly, distracted from the sounds of several pairs of shuffling feet behind her by her distressing thoughts. Suddenly everything went black as a sack suddenly was placed over her head moments before a blow to the head rendered her unconscious.

-S-C-

One of the true culprits, a smug Applebloom walked around the side of the school feeling good about herself after seeing all the people threatening Sunset in the comments of the Anon-A-Miss profile. “This is it! We’ve won!” She said, referring to herself and her two friends “After this, Sunset will HAVE to leave our sister’s alone!” She said proudly only to notice Sunset was sitting on the school steps crying. Suddenly her heart sank as she realized the selfish ramifications of her actions and her tone changed entirely to a more sombre one “I can’t believe it... We... We did that to her...” Applebloom muttered to herself taking care to ensure Sunset didn’t hear her. Feeling remorseful she went to subtly snap a picture to send to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and got the camera app on her phone working just as the front door to the school opened.

Noticing the bag she quickly figured something was up and hit record, gasping as she watched on in horror as sunset was knocked out cold. The group of students began beating on her while a girl with white skin and a brown jacket whistled to someone out in the parking lot. Still recording, Applebloom looked onward as a pickup truck pulled up to the front of the school. The mob of people then split into two groups with the first tying Sunset up and tossing her into the truck bed as the others draped a tarp over the truck bed so no one could see what was in the back.

One of the students turned to the girl in the jacket and asked, “So, where you want to take her Gilda?” To which she replied, grinning “To the Everfree Forest. We can camp there for the night and get our payback for everything she said and then leave her out there.” Applebloom ducked behind the school before she was seen and backed up against the wall, putting her hand over her mouth as the shock of what she had witnessed took its toll on her. She could do naught but listen on as the group dissipated into their own vehicles and left. “What have we done?” She said out loud, shaking her head.

Applebloom composed herself and peered around the corner to check if the coast was clear, her heart still racing. Upon not seeing any of the students she ran inside the school and saw Applejack and her friends walking towards her, presumably to go to another sleep over tonight. “SIS!” She yelled and ran over to Applejack, grabbing hold of her sleeve to get her attention. Applejack raised her arm up and looked down at her younger sister “Whats wrong now Applebloom?” She asked slightly with an annoyed expression on her face from having her and her friends interrupted. “S-Sunset... She... She’s been...” Applebloom stuttered only for Rarity to interrupt her.

“Darling, whatever Sunset has done now can’t be that important, now can it?” Rarity asked, dismissing Applebloom and starting to lead the group away only for the younger girl to stomp her foot angrily and blurt out “SHE’S WAS ATTACKED! look!” Upon hearing this the group of friends stopped, looking at each other before crowding around Applebloom as she raised her phone and showed them the footage, making them frown as they saw Sunset knocked out. Pinkie folded her arms defiantly and turned up her nose “Well, serves that Secret Stealer right!... right?” she said, trailing off as she became less sure of her words “If she hadn’t revealed all those secrets maybe that wouldn’t have happened.” Rainbow Dash then slugged Pinkie in the arm

“Shut up Pinkie... I don’t want anything to do with that traitor after she broke my heart..” she said, trailing off sadly and going to leave again before being stopped by Applebloom grabbing her hand.“It wasn’t her…” Applebloom said quietly as her eyes welled up while she looked around at her sister and her friends “It was me, ok? I made the account!” She yelled into Dash’s arm with tears streaming down her face. “Your Anon-A-Miss?” Applejack asked in a confused and angry tone causing her little sister to look down at the ground in shame before saying “I.. I made the account and me, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo posted those things to stop Sunset stealing you away from us”

At that point Rarity and Rainbow Dash blew up “YOU WHAT?” they screamed in unison only for Applebloom to turn and run toward the Principle’s office yelling back “you can punish us later, but right now Sunset needs you!” Without a word the group turned to each other and nodded before heading to Celestia’s office as well.

-S-C-

Celestia sighed rubbing her temples as she looked over all the paper work before her concerning Anon-A-Miss. All signs pointed to Sunset Shimmer being the one who started the page, but at the same time, something seemed off about it all to her. Groaning, she grabbed her coffee and turned around to take a sip only to look out the window of her office and spotted Sunset crying on the front steps of the school. “How can anyone think for a second that she would do something like this?” She asked herself before taking another sip. Her eyes widened however as she spit her coffee at the window seeing a group of students exiting the building and proceed to attack her before tossing her into the back of a truck and driving off with her. Celestia quickly turned around and dialed 9-1-1. “Come on come on, pick up already!” She said after a few seconds before finally getting picked up.

‘9-1-1 Whats your emergency?’ the operator said. Celestia then proceeded to tell the operator on the phone everything she just witnessed. As she was about to hang up the phone though, Applebloom burst into her office. “PRINCIPLE CELESTIA, SUNSET HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!” She blurted out loud. Celestia nodded and pointed at the phone. “I know Applebloom. I was about to get off the phone with the police.” She said getting ready to click end. “Well dont hang up just yet! Tell them I have footage of everything that happened!” Applebloom said holding her phone up. Nodding, Celestia was about to inform the operator only to hear them say, ‘Its ok mrs, I heard her say it. Ill send an officer out right away.’ “Thank you” Celestia said before hanging up the phone.

“Its going to be ok now Applebloom. The police are on the way.” She said standing up before walking over and putting her hand on the child’s shoulder. “You did a good thing.” She said only to notice Applebloom’s sister standing at the door. “Did she now? Maybe she should tell ya why Sunset is even in this situation in the first place.” Applejack said with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie standing behind her as Rarity and Rainbow Dash had ran off to find Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo. “Right... the truth is Principal Celestia... me and my friends... Were Anon-A-Miss...” She said looking at the ground.

Celesta frowned puling her hand off the young girl’s shoulder. “You... Your Anon-A-Miss?” She asked to which the young girl nodded. Celestia sighed and turned around trying to contain her emotions. “We will discuss this later. For now, the safety of Sunset Shimmer is our priority.” She said calmly before stepping to the window seeing a police car pull up to the school and watched as her niece’s husband got out of the car. “That didnt take long.” She muttered before turning to Fluttershy. “Fluttershy, can you bring the officer to my office?” She asked causing the young lady to flinch. “Oh, uh, sure Principle Celestia.” She said nervously before running down the hallway.

Sighing, Celestia returned to her seat and pressed the intercom button down. “Would Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo please come to the principle’s office? Thank you.” She said as Officer Shining Armor stepped into her office. “Celestia?” He asked walking to her desk. “Shining Armor, good to see you again. I just wish it was a better time.” She said standing up and reaching her hand out to shake his. Nodding, he shook her hand and turned to Applebloom. “I suspect you have the footage I need to see?” he asked to which Applebloom nodded and handed him the phone after pulling the footage back up for him. He watched the scene play out before him frowning the entire time before pausing the video and looked at Celestia not noticing Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo as well as Rarity and Rainbow Dash walk into the office.

“Do you know of any reason why they would just outright attack a crying girl like that?” He asked to which she nodded turning to the girl who gave him the phone. “Go ahead Applebloom.” She said calmly as the new comers look at Applebloom in shock. “It was us... We made an online profile on Mystable and used it to spread everyone’s secrets over the internet... and we made it to look like it was Sunset had done it...” she said crying tears out. Sweetie Belle grabbed Applebloom frowning. “What the hell Applebloom? Whyd you tell them that?” She said angrily only for Rarity to grab her sister’s arm. “Sweetie Belle, because of your three’s actions, the student body has vowed to seek revenge on Sunset by kidnapping her and are probably gonna ripe her apart until all thats left is a pile of dust!” she snapped at her. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked at each other hearing the news.

“No... that cant be right... We just wanted her to leave you all alone so youd spend more time with us...” Scootaloo said swallowing the information as Shining Armor hit play on the video again watching the truck pull up to the school only to see the license plate on the truck and grabbed his radio. “Be in search of a brown truck with gray stripes, license plate number DUM-BE11. Over.” he said before sending the footage to his phone as evidence and returned the phone to Applebloom. I will let your principle deal with this Anon-A-Miss mess you three created, but for now, I have a girl to rescue.” He said frowning before running out the office to his squad car. “So... what do we do now?” Rainbow Dash asked putting her hand on her arm. Celestia sighed and turned to Applebloom and her friends. “I will let my sister deal with you three. Im sure she can think of an excellent punishment. The rest of us will just have to wait for Officer Armor to inform us of an update.

-S-C-

Shining Armor climbed into his squad car frowning as he started the car up. “What the hell is wrong with kids these days?” He asked no one in particular before looking at a picture of him and his little sister. He then started to picture if his sister was instead kidnapped instead of Sunset and knew that her folks would probably be worried sick once they find out what happened to her. “I promise Im gonna bring you home Sunset...” he said before driving off calling for back up to start searching the Everfree woods.

-S-C-

Sunset groaned as she started coming to, with the bag still over her head. As her sense’s came to, she started to realize she couldnt move her limbs. Panicking, she tried to pull away from whatever was holding down only to hear laughter as a pair of footsteps made its way over to her before someone yanked the bag off her head. Sunset started to notice it was now dark, and that she seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. She then looked down to see her kidnappers standing around a fire, some holding weapons, others cracking their fists, all hungry for blood. Sunset finally noticed standing before her holding the bag they placed on her head was Lightning Dust, who quickly punched Sunset in the gut. “Well, well, well, look who decided to come to Anon-A-Miss.” She said grinning so evily Sunset could of swore her teeth were razor sharp. “Its time for a little pay back... Welcome to Hell bitch.” She added swinging another punch at Sunset’s left side.
