After a terrible day in Canterlot High, Sunset Shimmer walks back to her apartment for comforts, putting on her pajamas as she made a nice hot cup of tea. It was the worst week of her entire life.
It was her first slumber party, held at Pinkie Pie's house. During the merriment, Applejack gets a call from Apple Bloom, who wants to make sure her big sister is doing okay. Applejack tells her she's fine, and Apple Bloom closes the call by calling Applejack "Piggly Wiggly." An embarrassed Applejack explains that, when she was a baby, she played with the pigs in the pigpen and earned the nickname from Granny Smith.
That night, after everyone else has gone to sleep, Sunset Shimmer writes to Princess Twilight Sparkle in her magic journal.
The next morning at school, Applejack hears someone call out the name Piggly Wiggly. As she wonders who it was, Apple Bloom runs up and tells Applejack that someone with the username "Anon-a-Miss" posted Applejack's story to MyStable. Applejack overhears several students gossiping about her, but she doesn't let a little teasing bother her. As she and her friends wonder about the identity of "Anon-a-Miss", the school bell rings and they head to class.
Realizing that no one outside Applejack's circle of friends know about her nickname, Apple Bloom suggests that "Anon-a-Miss" is Sunset Shimmer, but Applejack refuses to believe such a notion.
After school, Rarity picks up Applejack on the way to the second slumber party at Rarity's house. They meet up with their friends there, and Rarity dismisses Sweetie Belle from the party, much to Sweetie Belle's dismay. As the slumber party gets underway, Sunset Shimmer takes photos and video with her cell phone. During an ill-planned stage dive, Pinkie Pie discovers Rarity's "closet of shame", where Rarity keeps her awful outfits. The six friends use the outfits to play dress-up, and Sunset takes more pictures.
That night, Sunset writes to Twilight again, expressing how loved and accepted she now feels, before going to bed.
Later that week, Sunset meets her friends in the school hall, and they confront her; all the pictures Sunset took at the slumber party have been posted on "Anon-a-Miss"'s MyStable page. Thus, the five friends conclude that she is "Anon-a-Miss". Sunset pleads innocence, but due to the evidence against her, the other five don't believe her. They denounce Sunset as their friend and walk away, and Sunset breaks down in tears.
Days pass, and as "Anon-a-Miss" posts more and more of the girls' humiliating secrets to MyStable (like Rainbow Dash's poorly graded research paper), they become laughing stocks at Canterlot High. Sunset Shimmer confronts Trixie in the hallway, and although Trixie denies being "Anon-a-Miss", she praises her for her actions. In the cafeteria, an angry Rainbow Dash sits next to Fluttershy. They notice that "Anon-a-Miss" has started posting about everyone at the school, turning everyone against each other. They don't want to believe that Sunset Shimmer is "Anon-a-Miss", but there are no other possible suspects.
In the school library, Sunset writes to Twilight about her troubles, but Twilight has little help to offer. Twilight tells Sunset about the legend of the windigos. Sunset suggests the possibility of there being windigos in her world, but Twilight says they don't need to be—in her world, "hatred and chaos... can be spread as easily as pushing a button." The only advice Twilight can offer is for Sunset to stay strong, be herself, and find her family.
Later, as Sunset enters a crowded hallway, someone bumps into her and she falls over. The other students crowd around her, accusing her of being "Anon-a-Miss" and glaring scornfully. And that how it happens.
Sunset closed her eyes and went to sleep, trying to forget about it.
"Knock... Knock... Knock."
Sunset wakes up after hearing the door knocking. She walked to the door and opens it. When she answers the door, there's nobody there, except a small package delivered to her. Sunset was confused about someone has left her a package. When Sunset read the card that says,
"To Sunset Shimmer
Enjoy this special gift
from Industrial Illusions"
Sunset opened the package, and it contains a special Yu-Gi-Oh deck, a Dueling Gauntlet, two Star Chips, and a DVD. Sunset places the disc in her laptop as a man appears on the screen.
"Greetings, Miss Shimmer. I am Maximillion Pegasus." The man introduced himself as Maximillion Pegasus, the president of the Industrial Illusions. "You're probably wonder why I sent a package to you, I heard interesting things about you, Sunset. You're a pony from another world who notice about equestrian magic, I've decided to send this message to you. I would like to invite you to compete in a new tournament I'm hosting at Duelist Kingdom. I've decided to give you your own deck, it's a offensive spellcaster deck with magic cards set to either heal her life points while burning down your opponent's and traps set to establish counterattacks and weaken your opponent's monster."
Sunset looks at her deck for the first time. She looks at her monster cards, spells and trap cards in her new deck. She was amazed that her deck is very special.
"If you win the tournament, you will be crowned King of Games, and also you will win the prize money of three million dollars." Pegasus said to Sunset about if she wins the tournament as for her shocked about the prize money. "Now, let me explain the rules of the tournament, You will start the duel with 2000 life points, direct attack is not allowed, you can normal summon monsters of any level without tributing, if you fails to summon any monsters during your turn when you didn't control one, you will automatically lose the duel."
Sunset was confused about the rules, she decided to take part in the tournament. She sees the yes and no buttons on screen.
"If you like to take part in the tournament, click yes. And if you don't want to, click no." Pegasus said as he give her a choice to take part in the Duelist Kingdom tournament or not. Sunset click yes. "Excellent, the boat to the island is going to leave in two day. I can't wait for you to join."
As the DVD ends, Sunset looks at her new deck and have a look at it before going back to sleep.

Goodbye Home, Hello Duelist Kingdom
The next day, Sunset walks to the Sugarcube Corner. Tomorrow is her last day here for a while before she head off to Duelist Kingdom for the tournament. She was about to say goodbye to her friends, well former , before she leave. When she walked in, she sees her former friends sitting at their booth.
"Hey! Get out!" Rainbow Dash said to her in anger.
"Yer not welcome here, Sunset!" Applejack said in anger.
"I'll go in a minute, I just want to say something to you, guys." Sunset said while explaining to her former friends. "I've been talking to Princess Twilight.
Rainbow's slap in the face had enough impact to knock Sunset down to the ground.
"You lied to Twilight too," She screamed, "like you've been to all of us! Bullcrap, Sunset! Why do you manipulate people!"
Sunset got back up with tears in her eyes, holding the swelling bruise from the slap.
"Sunset, please, yer only making it worse," said Applejack, "you are the only suspect. You are the only person who knew my nickname. You are the only person who took those photos at the sleepover, on your phone. You are the only other person who knew our secrets. And you are the only person who's spreading secrets. Please, for your own sake, get outta here and never come back!"
Sobs escaped from Sunset's mouth as she began to taste defeat.
"Please, you have to listen to me; I'm your friend! Just think about the times we had together! Applejack, remember the time we had a hayride together this fall, I had so much fun and-"
"Just shut your lying mouth up Sunset," snapped Applejack, getting up from her seat, "is it so hard to tell the truth, you stupid bitch. Or so help me!"
Sunset walked back into her apartment and get ready to pack her things for tomorrow night. She got a text from Rainbow Dash.
Sunset is getting annoyed about her friends trying to talk to her out of the Duelist Kingdom tournament. She decided to take back.
Sunset looked at Dash with fresh tears leaking out her eyes, making her vision misty.
"Dash, remember the times I show up at your games and how I cheer for you."
"You mean pretend to cheer! You can't take advantage of us no longer, asshole! You are the worst person I have ever known. Becoming friends with you was the absolute worst mistake I've ever made. I wish I never met you, Sunset!"
Sunset was crying at this point. She went to Rarity and looked at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Rarity, please, you have to believe me! Remember all the outfits you made for me, I-"
"Hmm! That was before I knew you were planning to humiliate us. I even made the most beautiful outfit for you for Christmas. But now, I realized that was just a mistake. You are not going to steal our trust anymore you motherfucking thief."
Sunset was now losing hope, there was only Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy left.
"Pinkie! Remember the parties you've thrown, and how much fun I had. Those were the best times of my life."
"well, you were just pretending to have fun, so you can gain my trust. I can't believe I was so stupid to fall for your tricks, but it's not gonna work anymore, you ugly skank!"
Sunset's jaw dropped slightly as she couldn't believe the curse word Pinkie just said. Fluttershy was her last hope.
"Please Fluttershy," she whimpered, "remember all the times you've so kind to, or the time I help you out at the animal shelter or-"
SMACK!
Rainbow had punched her in the jaw, once again knocking her down to the ground.
"You will not threaten her!" she yelled.
Sunset quickly got back up the ground.
"Guys, please, your friends, my family, I tried to prove that I've changed after the Fall Formal. Do you expect me give that away. Your friendship, The Battle of The Bands, everything I did. And for what reason?"
"Yea, why were are you doing this?" sneered Applejack.
"We laid our hearts to you, and you just threw it out!" said Rarity.
"Like they always say: once a demon, always a demon!" growled Rainbow Dash.
Suddenly Applejack walked up to Sunset and snatched the book she was holding.
"That make sure you will never lie to the princess again." she snarled.
"And do us a favor, Anon-a-Miss," said Rainbow, cracking a fist, "AND GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE WE KILL YOU!"
Sunset did the only thing she can think to do: she ran as fast as she could out of the cafe and to her apartment. As she did she could hear her former friends shouting at her.
" Get outta of our lives, yer good for nothing liar!"
"Good riddance! Everyone will do so much better without you, you damn thief!"
"I hope I never see you again, she-demon!"
"Go back to where you came from, secret-stealer!"
"I wish I've never been friends with you in the first place Sunset!"
Hearing made Sunset ran even faster then so ever had before.
"Leave!” shouted Rainbow Dash
Alone. That's all Sunset wants right now as she just run away in sadness.
In Canterlot High, Sunset walks down the hallway, it's her last day of Canterlot High before she leaves tonight for the tournament. Principal Celestia sees her.
"Sunset Shimmer, I can't believe you're leaving us for a while. I hope you'll enjoy your time at Duelist Kingdom." Principal Celestia said as she going to miss Sunset.
"I will, it'll be my own adventure of a lifetime." Sunset said as she walked away. Everyone walked passed her. She's walking to her final class before she leaves: English.
Sunset looks at her deck. She couldn't wait to leave tonight. Her classmates saw her and are sad that she's going away. Miss Cheerilee was teaching. The final bell ring, Sunset walks out of the classroom.
"Hey Sunset, is it true? Is it really your last day?" Scootaloo asked Sunset in sadden.
"Yeah, for a while. I'm going to the Duelist Kingdom to get away from Anon-a-Miss." Sunset answers. She really doesn't want to leave everyone, but she has to for the tournament. She walks away out of the school as everyone waving goodbye to Sunset.
At night, Sunset put on her music festival clothing before heading to the boat. She put on her dueling gauntlet and place her two star chips. She arrived to the Pier to board the ship until she sees a man on the boat making an announcement. "Attention all duelists. Welcome to this event sponsored by Industrial Illusions. You received with your invitation, the star chips that will grant you entry into the contest. You are all elite, invited by us after close observation of your past Duel Monsters contests. You each have a fair and equal chance to win. It all comes down to how well you've chosen your cards and how well you play. Now then duelists, cross the ocean and enter the Duelist Kingdom."
Sunset shows them her star chips as she board the ship. When she walks on board, she has a pain in the stomach. She decided to get a room to sleep in. She walks one of the men about the room.
"Hi, do you know which room am I going to sleep?" Sunset asked one of the men.
"Uh yes, you can sleep in a common area." The Man answers.
"Hey, if she wants, she can share my room." Someone said behind her.
"Lorcan, of course." The man said in agreement.
Sunset raised a very confused eyebrow. Who is Lorcan? Is it some other guy? She turns around and sees a blue haired girl. She is five feet tall. She wears a black leather jacket, white crop top and a black miniskirt with black boots.
"Really, you can let me share your room?" Sunset asked the girl. The girl nodded politely. "And also, is it okay I can use your bathroom? I've got a tummy ache and I need to do a big business."
"Sure you can." The girl answers politely as they walked to her luxury room. Sunset rushed into the bathroom, pulls down her pants and sits down.
As Sunset sits on the toilet, she is starting to blush in embarrassment. She decided to asked. "So uh, what's your name?" She asked.
"Lorcan Darcy." The girl answers as she introduces herself as Lorcan Darcy. "What's your name?"
"I'm Sunset Shimmer." Sunset answers while introducing her name.
Lorcan recognize that name. "Oh yeah, you're that Pony from another world." She said.
"You knew?" Sunset asked in shocked.
"Yeah, you're that rage demon." Lorcan said answers while smiling. "So, tell me, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Nah, I broke up with my last boyfriend, Flash Sentry. You?" Sunset said to Lorcan before asking.
"No, I'm not interested in boys. I'm a lesbian." Lorcan answers to Sunset before telling her that she's a lesbian.
"Whoa." Sunset said in shocked that her new friend is a lesbian.
She knows that she's bisexual. Maybe she may have a little crush on her. Sunset grab some toilet paper and wipe her butt before flushing the toilet. She pulled her pants back on and walk out of the bathroom with a nasty stench.
"C'mon. It wasn't that bad." Sunset laughed.
"I know that!" Lorcan laughed. Just then, they both lay down in bed together.
Tonight, they can rest. And tomorrow, their arrival to Duelist Kingdom. Sunset can't wait for all the excitement of her new journey. She is wondering how her former friends back in Canterlot City.
Sunset wakes up on the boat, she looks at Lorcan sleeping beside her. She wrapped her arms around Sunset's waist and nuzzling her face in her back. Sunset give Lorcan a kiss in the forehead and walked to the bathroom to get ready. The boat is arriving to Duelist Kingdom in two hours. Lorcan wakes up and get ready as well. When she walked into the bathroom, she saw Sunset on the toilet.
"Oops, sorry." Lorcan said in blushing.
"It's okay, I should've lock the door." Sunset said as she blushes while trying to hide her feeling for her. Lorcan's trying to do the same too.
"Hey, Sunset, can I ask you a question?" Lorcan asked while blushing.
"Sure, what is it?" Sunset asked.
"How would you like to go out to dinner with me, when the tournament's over?" Lorcan asked gently bit her lip.
Sunset was shocked that Lorcan is asking her out on a date after the tournament. "I don't know." She said.
"It'll be really fun! Just you and me." Lorcan tried to persuade Sunset.
"Oh, I don't know."
"Please, Sunset. I'll have you home by 10:00 the latest."
"Well um." Sunset said until Lorcan gently held her hand and Sunset found herself blushing.
"Please. If not for yourself, then for me." Lorcan said while begging Sunset.
Sunset's blushing. She's now madly in love with Lorcan and smile. "Okay." She said as she accepts to go out.
Both of them wanted to kiss each other so bad. As Sunset and Lorcan became great friends, Sunset was finding herself thinking about Lorcan.
They look at the island ahead as they're on the bow of the ship. Sunset decided to take a selfie of her wearing a dueling glove and flipping the bird before posting online.
When they got off the boat, they sees the men waiting for them. Sunset was wondering why did Lorcan cuddle her.
"You okay, baby?" Lorcan asked in her concern voice.
"Yeah, I was wondering, why'd you wrapped your arms around me last night?" Sunset asked in confusion.
"Well, you were very peaceful in your sleep, so I decided to cuddle you." Lorcan answers Sunset's question. "And tonight, I'm pretty sure that I am going to do it again. With a lot of kisses."
Sunset blushes again and fell in love. One of the men from last night appeared.
"Welcome, all duelists! Please, follow the stairs to meet your host." The man said as he pointed to the castle. Maximillion Pegasus appeared inside of the castle.
"Greetings, duelists! I am Maximillion Pegasus! It is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you all to the Duelist Kingdom." Pegasus said while greeting all duelists to the Duelist Kingdom. "You stand before me, the world's greatest duelist! But come tournament's end, only one shall be crowned King of Games! I implore you all to assemble your dueling decks with care, with creativity, and with cunning, for this competition will test your kills like never before! To track your progress in the tournament, you've each been given a dueling glove. You've also been given two precious star chips. You must wager these star chips on each duel you compete in. To advance to the final level of competition for a chance the three million dollar prize, you must win ten star chips! Ten star chips will admit you into my castle, where you'll face me in one final duel!"
Sunset was shocked that she must win ten star chips to advance to the finals. She must take that chance.
"This will be a tournament unlike anything you have ever experienced. State of the art dueling arenas cover this entire island, and intriguing new dueling rules will be in effect. I could tell you what these new rules are, but what fun would that be? you'll discover them as you compete, or you won't last very long. Remember,play boldly, think strategically and duel mercilessly! You have one full hour to prepare, both your cards and yourselves." Pegasus said to the duelists. "When the skies light up with fireworks, the duels will begin!"
The crowd cheering and both Sunset and Lorcan will take their chance to get to the finals. They walked to each other.
"You wanna team up?" Sunset and Lorcan asked each other in together. "I'm sorry, you first."
"Okay, do you wanna team up?" Lorcan asked Sunset repeatedly.
"Sure, I want to get into the castle, and prove all my former friends wrong."
Back in Canterlot High, Applejack walks down the hallway. It was really quiet when Sunset is not around. She walked down in the cafeteria to her friends.
"Hey, have you girls seen Sunset? She hasn't showed up at history." Applejack asked her friends about Sunset's disappearance.
"No, we haven't. We don't know where she is." Rainbow Dash said in sadly. "Do you think she's at her place?"
"Pinkie and I were there and she's not home." Fluttershy answers in sadly and worried. "Do you think that she's mad at us for denounces her as a friend?"
"I think so too. Maybe she's not Anon-a-Miss." Rarity answers. "Maybe we were hard on her yesterday."
Just then, their phone rings and they look on MyStable, they sees Sunset's selfie with a message: "Here's a secret for Anon A Miss. The she-demon is gonna live it up on an island! Have fun dealing magical problems without me!"
The girls are stunned that Sunset Shimmer's at Duelist Kingdom.
"Oh my God." Rainbow Dash said in stunned.
"She's at Duelist Kingdom? And she didn't tell us?" Rarity asked in stunned.
The girls are starting to regret for what they've done to Sunset.
