A Secret Revealed: Chapter 1.

Anon-A-Miss, the well known cyberbully over the gossip site MyStable had ruined the lives of the entire student body, along with who the account had tried to hurt most.

Sunset Shimmer.

After the Canterlot Movie Club confessed to being the ones behind the Anon-A-Miss account, and not Sunset Shimmer. Her name had been cleared, but the damage was already done.

During the period of time in which the students believed she was the Anon-A-Miss profile, she had been attacked and injured deeply. They had broken two of her ribs and her right leg.

She had not been seen in school the last following days leading up to winter break, her ex-friends who betrayed her tried to look for her but couldn't find her. The student body had tried to look for her but had no luck either. What Sunset didn't know was that Flash Sentry, Snips and Snails, The Dazzlings, Trixie, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna believed she was innocent.

Flash, Trixie, Snips and Snails felt awful for not telling her that they knew she was innocent.

Principal Celestia was reading through the names of students who helped post information to the Anon A Miss account, she had seen a small few of the student body and had yet to talk to more.

She glanced through Sunset Shimmer's record and read through it only to find some concerning information.

D.O.B: June 20th 1997

Parents: none

Social Security Number: none

After re-reading the document in her hands and saw those pieces of information it all became clear to her. Sunset lived alone. Without a family.

Celestia could feel her heart break inside. Had Sunset been alone all that time without a family? She was an orphan? The idea brought her to tears as she sobbed, she felt completely guilty and saddened by the fact that Sunset didn't have a proper family.

"Sister, are you alright?" Vice-Principal Luna asked, worried for her now sobbing sister.

Luna saw the document in her big sister's hand and read the document. She gasped and placed a hand over her mouth to stop herself from crying.

"Has she really been alone all this time? And it's been under our noses?" Luna whispered sadly, feeling pity for the teen. Sunset had been reluctant to talk about her family and her past.

"What can we do about this?" Luna asked worriedly for the teen. Without a Social Security Number, a family and legal documents to prove her existence she wouldn't be able to have a real future.

"I want to adopt her, she needs a family Luna, otherwise she has no future in this world!" Celestia said, earning a look of shock, but also respect from her sister.

"Are you sure about this? What if Ms Shimmer refuses?" Luna questioned, suddenly regretting asking it.

"If she rejects it, then I'll have no other choice but to let her go back to her own world. If she accepts I'll be really happy, I've always loved Sunset as if she were my own child. She may not want a family now, but deep down she knows she needs one." Celestia retaliated softly, a small smile growing on her lips.

Luna could only smile and hug her sister, she'd always wanted a niece and Celestia had always wanted a child, but since she was sadly infertile and unable to have one that possibility had been taken from them. And had hurt them both deeply.

"Just think about this, I get to have a niece, you and Discord get to have a child and your dream of becoming a mother becomes true." Luna suggested, egging her sister on to want to adopt the bacon-haired teen.

"Luna, do you perchance know where she lives?" Celestia asked her younger sister.

The gray-skinned woman read over the document and found an address on Sunset's profile. The two headed out of Celestia's office and towards Celestia's car.

They buckled in and drove towards the address, stopping at a flat of apartments.

The two walked into the building and walked towards the reception desk.

A pink-skinned receptionist walked towards them.

"May I ask why you're here?" She kindly asked the two educators.

"We're here for my student, a Miss Sunset Shimmer, what is her room number?" Celestia asked, her voice becoming almost worried.

"Her room number is 26." The receptionist informed them. Taking them to the designated room.

Celestia knocked on the door, waiting for Sunset to reply and open the door for them.

When Sunset didn't reply and open it for them, they became worried.

"Sunset? Are you there? It's Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna. We're worried for you, can we come in?" Celestia softly asked the teen, hoping for a response.

Eventually, Sunset opened the door, her hair was dishevelled, there were bags under her eyes and she looked haggard.

"Sure, just let me get dressed quick." Sunset asked, before rushing off and changing into some fresh clothes.

The two educators walked into her apartment, everything looked tidy and clean. However it didn't appease them.

"Sunset, we'd like to ask you something and it's very important." Celestia asked, her voice gentle and to a degree, motherly.

Sunset looked at them fearfully, she hoped they wouldn't find out.

"I want you to answer me truthfully, Sunset. Are you an orphan?" Celestia asked worriedly, gently cupping sunset's cheek and rubbing it softly with her thumb, causing Sunset to blush a deep crimson.

The bacon-haired teen sighed and gave a quiet, "yes"

Celestia gave her a look of sadness and worry, before drawing her into a gentle hug, holding the girl close to her.

"I've been an orphan for as long as I'm able to remember. After a magic accident back home the princess, who is your counterpart took an interest in me and I became her personal student. After looking into the mirror I saw a future I thought at the time was my destiny, I thought I was going to be a princess just like her. She was always something of a mom to me, but she never felt the same. After being kicked out of the castle I knew I wouldn't be welcome back and knew I'd lost the only pony who I'd considered like a mom." Sunset sobbed, looking away in shame,

She was disgusted with what she did in the past and started to hate herself for it. At times she had considered ending her life, and came close to it during the Anon-A-Miss debacle. She felt unlovable and unwanted.

Celestia held Sunset tighter, letting the teen sob into her. Mothers were patient, after all.

Sunset sobbed into her principal, all her life she just wanted someone who would love her, be proud of her, care about her and be there for her. She had been alone her entire life.

Celestia's heart ached as she saw Luna wrap her arms around Sunset and hug her. The teen being held and comforted by the two people who would soon become her mom and her aunt.

Luna hugged her soon-to-be niece softly, comforting the heartbroken teen.

Celestia planted a soft kiss on Sunset's forehead, making the girl blush deeper.

"I have an offer for you, Sunset." Celestia began softly, squeezing her soon-to-be daughter's hand softly.

"How would you like it if me, my husband Discord and Luna adopted you into our family?" Celestia softly offered, cradling the bacon-haired teen in her arms soothingly.

Sunset's eyes widened at the offer, she smiled happily as tears came to her eyes. She sobbed into Celestia, her mom's shoulder and felt an arm lovingly rub her shoulder and back.

"Yes!, I'd love for you to be my mom!" Sunset exclaimed, smiling joyfully as she giggled and relaxed into her mother's embrace, enjoying the warmth and softness of her body, inhaling her vanilla scent.

Celestia couldn't help but smile at the teen. At long last her dream of becoming a mother was real and finally happening. She had a daughter now. Someone to love, care for, gush over and show affection towards.

Sunset nuzzled her mother, earning a soft kiss on her forehead.

the trio made their way back to Celestia's car and headed back to her new home with her new mom and aunt.

Once they made it safely home, Sunset got into her set of pajamas she brought with her and climbed into bed.

Celestia walked in and made her way over to Sunset. She pulled the covers over her and tucked her into bed, making sure Sunset was cozy and comfortable. She was going to get the girl's room styled and painted for her to make her feel more welcome and at home.

Discord walked into the room and smiled at his wife, before kissing her softly and hugging his new daughter. He bent down and kissed her cheek.

"Goodnight sweetheart." Discord whispered softly to the sleeping teen. Smiling at her happily.

"Sleep tight, sweet dreams." Celestia cooed at the girl, her precious baby girl.

"Night mommy, night daddy." Sunset mumbled sleepily, curling slightly in her bed as she began to succumb to sleep's hold.

The two exited her room and closed the door, letting the teen sleep peacefully.
