Author's Note

I decided to reupload and rewrite this chapter after giving it some thought thanks to some of the encouraging comments I received, so I do apologize for not giving an answer right out of the bat after I took down the chapter, for those who liked the last chapter.

So here it is, the same chapter but with an additional rewriting added to it.

Do leave feedback if you got time!

Sunset groggily opened her eyes, only to be met by the ceiling of a hospital room with an IV Fluids needle attached to her left vein. She groaned in pain when she tried to sit up, causing her to lie back down again. "W-what happened…?"

"Careful now Ms. Shimmer, you don't want to make your injuries hurt more." The nurse said. "Your vitals are okay so far, just don't move too much and you'll be alright."

"W-what happened nurse? Where's Twilight?" Sunset asked.

"Twilight is outside, she'll be let in once I'm done assessing your overall condition."

Sunset lay in silence for a while, before the nurse broke the ice. "You're lucky, you know that? The car that almost killed you nearly ran over your head. If the driver didn't stop, who knows what might have happened to you!"

"I'm sorry, what happened exactly?"

"Someone pushed you off the street in an attempt to murder you, that's what I've been told by the first responder." The nurse said.

"Oh." Is all sunset can say. Her memories are hazy, who could have done this to her and why try to murder her?

"Anyways, you're fine now. The doctors did their best to save your life. It took them some time but they pulled through." The nurse said, giving Sunset a look with a smile on her face. "Now, I'll leave you be with your friend. She's been so uneasy ever since the incident." With that said, the nurse opened the door and gestured Twilight to come in as she walked out, with Twilight closing the door behind her and tried to carefully hug Sunset.

"Sunset, thank goodness you're awake!" Twilight said, letting out a big sigh of relief.

"Twilight… good to see you too."

After she broke away from the hug, Twilight kissed her forehead and held her hand with Sunset's. She adjusted her glasses with her free hand, a smile forming on her face. "I'm so glad you're okay, despite what happened with the car hitting you."

"Twi… I can't remember anything about what happened, but we can get to that in a bit. The big question is, how long have I been out?"

"A week." Sunset flinched at the word, has she been in a weeklong coma!?

"The doctors were worried that your coma could've been a long term one, but as it turns out, that isn't the case. I'm glad it isn't, I don't want to lose you Sunset."

Then it came to her memories. She had been dating Twilight for the past week and a half after their little alone time at the cafe.

"I remember… we dated. And our first kiss…"

"It was the best kiss you gave me, Sunset. It turns out, we were meant to be more than just friends."

Sunset chuckled. After everything with the Anon A Miss debacle, she still managed to find not only a friend, but a lover of all things. Yet, she remembered something important.

"Oh no. Princess Twilight! Where is-"

"She's back at the Hotel, piecing the final pieces together. She stood by and watched over you for a few days before I took over, seeing that she didn't get much sleep for the past days." Twilight explained, all the while adjusting her glasses.

"So, you two finally met…"

Twilight nodded and smiled. "We would have been thrilled under better circumstances, regardless, she sends me her best wishes for your recovery."

Twilight leaned in and gave Sunset a kiss, before laying her head down on Sunset's right shoulder. They stayed like that for a moment, not wanting to break the loving moment.

Sunset then spoke up and asked, "What happened exactly? I still can't remember what happened to me other than our date."

"Right. That. You see…"

Twilight and Sunset walked down the sidewalk, with both hands held together.

Twilight's cheeks were as red as Rudolph's nose, while Sunset can't help but put on a small smile on her face. It's been a week and a half since she and Twilight went out together, and for her to say yes to go out on a date is something Sunset would never forget.

"So, what's this surprise you have for me, Twi?" Sunset asked.

"If I told you what the surprise is, then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore." Twilight responded with a smile.

"Fair point." Sunset chuckled.

Unknown to them, a familiar white haired girl with violet streaks at the end have been stalking them the entire time, with a menacing look on her face. The brown coat wearing girl slowly followed them while trying not to get caught.

"Now, I want you to close your eyes Sunset." Twilight requested.

Sunset closed her eyes, while Twilight guided Sunset as they approach an auto dealership. Twilight can't help but feel excited to see her surprise for Sunset.

"Okay. Now open your eyes." Sunset opened her eyes, only to be met by the sight of a Red German sedan with yellow tinted windows.

"Surprise!" Twilight happily exclaimed, leaving Sunset speechless.

"Twilight, is this…?"

"Yes, Sunset. This is your new car. Since you're already twenty years old and have the papers and license, I'd say you can drive now!"

No response.

"Sunset…?"

Nothing but silence.

"What's wrong, Sunset…?"

Sunset turned to Twilight with tears running down her cheeks, a smile on her face visible. "I love it, Twilight!" Sunset exclaimed as she embraced her tightly.

"It's not exactly brand new, but it's a used car in excellent condition." Twilight can't help but feel proud that she found a $2,000 used car for Sunset.

"I don't care if it's used, Twilight! What matters is that you gave it to me, and I will always treasure it!" She happily exclaimed. The moment wouldn't last however as Gilda emerged from the shadows.

"Hello, Sunset."

Twilight's smile faded away, with a worried look now in its place. Sunset quickly let go and turned around, standing in front of Twilight to protect her."

"Hello, Gilda."

"You think you'd get away that easily? I don't think so, Pal."

Sunset huffed. "Gilda, are you playing baseball? Because it looks like you're trying to score a strike three. Remember, you're out after that."

"Very funny, you bitch." Gilda snarked.

"What do you want, Gilda? I already told you I'm not Anon-A-Miss!" Sunset said angrily.

"Cut the shit, She-Demon. Your playing all innocent act won't work on me, especially after that embarrassing photo of me you posted for all to see!" Gilda then pulled out her butterfly knife from her pocket.

"Gilda, I don't want any violence."

"Too late." Gilda then charged with her knife, only for her to be sent flying down on the ground. Quickly getting up on her feet, she swiped her knife at Sunset in rage, of which Sunset managed to avoid getting hit from the slashes. Once an opening presented itself, she pulled a one-two punch against Gilda, with the second punch hitting her abdomen.

"Stop, Gilda! I'm warning you!" Sunset said in an attempt to reason with her. Instead, Gilda charged again, only to be met by a grab at the hand. Using her free hand, she grabbed Gilda's neck and used both arms to slam her to the ground.

"I may have held back against you when you beat me up, but I will NOT let you hurt Twilight or me anymore!" As it turns out, Sunset had been practicing some Close Quarters Combat (CQC) in her free time.

Not content in being defeated, Gilda managed to swipe her knife at Sunset's arm, of which she recoiled and stood her ground quickly. Gilda then tried to stab Sunset in the stomach, only to be met with a grab at the right arm, and a kick in the knee causing Gilda to fall down, with Sunset still grabbing hold of her right arm.

Noticing that she won't let go of the knife, Sunset is forced to do the one thing she hates to do. She forcibly twists her arm just enough to crack a few bones, forcing Gilda to let go of the knife. Sunset then kicked the knife away from Gilda. "Had enough?"

"Alright! Alright! Just let me go!" Gilda pleaded.

Sunset sighed, as she readjusts Gilda's arm back into its place.

"Last warning. Leave me and Twilight alone, or there will be Tartarus to pay!" She then turned around to face Twilight and hugged her. "Are you okay, Twilight?"

"Yes, I'm alright."

As Sunset let go of the hug, Gilda used all of her remaining strength in catching her off guard. She quickly stood up and charged, managing to push her to the street. What she didn't expect was that an oncoming car was in the way. As Sunset got pushed off, the car skidded to a halt in an attempt to avoid hitting her. But it was too late.

Sunset was sent flying a few feet away from the car, with Twilight running to Sunset's side. "Sunset!? Sunset, can you hear me!?" Twilight asked frantically.

"T-Twi…"

The driver immediately got out of his car and approached the girls. "Shit, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to…"

"Please, help us, mister! She needs medical treatment ASAP!" Twilight begged the driver as she begins to sob.

The driver nodded and helped Twilight carry Sunset into the back seat, with Twilight keeping Sunset still as the driver got in and drove them to the hospital like a bat outta hell.

... and that's what happened. The driver that accidentally hit you did his best to take us to the hospital quickly. If it wasn't for his driving, you could have... have..." Twilight's eyes began to tear up once more, her tears rolling down on her cheeks.

"It's okay, Twilight... I'm still here aren't I?" She caressed Twilight's cheek to try and calm her down, to which Twilight responded with a kiss to the cheek.

A few moments later, Shining Armor entered the room.

"Sunset, this is my brother, Shining Armor. He's a policeman." Twilight introduced.

Shining tipped his hat as a gesture and sat down next to Twilight. "It's good to meet you, Sunset."

"You too, Shining."

Shining then took out a small notepad and pencil from his jacket and cleared his throat. "I'm here to ask you a few questions regarding the incident that took place in front of Joey's Car Dealership. I am aware that you got into a car accident, but not the incident." He stated.

Sunset and Twilight nodded. Twilight explained everything to her brother, from Twilight taking Sunset to the car dealer to Sunset defending Twilight and herself from Gilda's murder attempt not once, but twice.

"I see. Well, thanks to your testimony, Gilda won't be seeing daylight for a very long time. I'll have this report to be submitted as soon as I arrive at the station." Shining said.

"Thank you so much."

Shining smiled and nodded. "You just get well soon, Sunset. Now, I have to get going. You take good care of her for me, okay Twily?"

Twilight nodded and hugged her brother before he left the room. "Your brother's nice."

"He's my BBBFF."

Sunset tilted her head. "BBBFF?"

Twilight chuckled at Sunset's confusion, "It means Big Brother Best Friend Forever. He and I are very close just like Cadence, my old Babysitter, and Dean of Crystal Prep."

She then gave Sunset a kiss on the forehead. "And you."

Her cheeks blushed in a shade of red and smiled. " I love you too."

Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle fidgeted her fingers as she watched Scootaloo and Applebloom discuss about what their next move is. Ever since they started posting secrets of other CHS Students, Sweetie can't help but feel a gut-wrenching sense of guilt in her chest for her part of turning CHS into a madhouse, all because she and her friends are jealous about their sisters spending time with Sunset more than with them.

"Girls?"

"Yeah, Sweetie?" Both girls asked.

"I think we've gone too far. Maybe we should just stop, you know? Delete the Anon-A-Miss blog page from MyStable, forget that it ever happened."

"You do have a point there, Sweets. But Ah'm not sure about that. We could get into trouble." Applebloom added.

"But we'd be in more trouble if we don't stop and admit that we're Anon-A-Miss!"

"Woah, Woah, Woah! Who said something about confessing?" Scootaloo asked.

"It's just that, Sunset's been beaten up by Gilda the last time I saw her. She beat her up because of those embarrassing photos of Gilda we uploaded in MyStable. The photos WE uploaded, girls. Don't you see? We're causing more harm to her, not just emotionally but physically now!" Sweetie said, trying to convince her friends.

"Scootaloo, Applebloom, please listen to me! We have to stop this nonsense! We've already achieved our goal, but I don't want Sunset or any other CHS students to get hurt even further because of our actions!"

"Sweetie Belle, if we confess now, we're in for a world of hurt! I say, we just keep the posts until it runs dry and then we delete the page after December. What do you say, Applebloom?"

"Ah'm up for that, all the way in." She responded.

"And you, Sweetie Belle?"

She sighed, and hesitatingly nodded her head. "Y-yeah. Let's d-do that."

The three girls bumped their fists and finished their drinks before Applebloom and Sweetie Belle left Scootaloo's home.

"Let me go, you dorks! I didn't do anything wrong!" Gilda said as she struggled to get herself free from the two police officers who apprehended her.

Shining Armor approached Gilda with an angry look. "Miss Gilda?"

"Yeah, that's me asshole! What's it to ya!?"

"Miss Gilda, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle."

"What do you mean attempted murder!? I don't even know those two!" Gilda said in her defense, but it is clear that Shining doesn't buy the bluff.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?"

Gilda spat at Shining's face in response, wiping it off from his cheek after. "Get her out of my sight."

"This isn't over, you hear me!? You, your sister, that Anon-A-Miss bitch! You'll all pay!" Gilda screamed as she is taken away by the two policemen, cuffing her hands before setting her in at the back of the cruiser
