Monday, December 15, it was 1 p.m.

It was lunchtime when Sunset went to her locker, She was feeling much happier than she was then the last few days mostly thanks to her new Mom Celestia. She silently giggled happliy as she was very happy her life long dream of having a mother again finally came true. She felt for sure thing would finally start getting better for her now that Celestia and Luna had her back. But then Just as she took her books and supplies and was about close her locker an orange hand slammed it closed causing her to yelp, "Ah! What the-?!"

"What's so funny?" An angry voice southern voice said. Sunset trembled and turned to see her ex-friends standing right behind her looking very angry or at least Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie were. Fluttershy on the other hand was at the far back looking a little unsure.

"H-hey girls, is there something I can do-" Sunset tried to say before Applejack grabbed her by the jacket with one hand and shouted.

"Shut it bitch, The only thing you can tell is what did you frame Rainbow of to get her in ISS?" Sunset's eye widened as she was talking about.

"No wait you don't understand! Rainbow is in ISS because she-"

"Be Silent you ruffian!" Rarity yelled getting in Sunset's face scaring her. "She told it was because of you that she's in trouble because of you! So it's obvious you posted something on Anon-a-Miss that got her in ISS."

"Girls please, you have to believe me I'm not Anon-a-Miss." Sunset pleaded as Applejack pushed against the lockers.

"Um maybe we should try hearing her out-" Fluttershy tried to say only for Pinkie to interrupt.

"Just stop lying already Secret stealer! We aren't listen to anything you say!" She retorted to Sunset who was looking even more scared

"It just goes to show an evil bitch like you can never change!" Rarity added as Sunset began whimpering and her eyes started forming tears.

Applejack saw this and mocked, "Oh so the She-Demon thinks Shedding Crocodile Tears is gonna stop her from getting what she deserves?!" She yelled as reeled her fist back, "Well I got your answer right here!" Sunset eyes widen before they closed tightly as braced herself for the punch. That is until...

"ENOUGH!" An angry voice yelled out across the hallway, one they all knew too well, the five girls paled and turned around to see a very angry Principal Celestia marching right towards them and turned her glare to the cowgirl women handling her daughter.

"Applejack, I strongly advise you to let Sunset Go or You'll be sharing Rainbow Dash's Punishment." Celestia said in a stern voice that shook the girls right to the core while Applejack felt like the woman's eyes were shooting at her with the heat of the Sun itself.

"B-but Mrs. Celestia, Sunset Shimmer she-" Applejack tried to say until Celestia's glare intensified making her feel really small and let go of Sunset jacket back off from her. Celestia then walked over to Sunset and gripped her shoulders. They were having a quiet conversation that the girls couldn't hear but they clearly heard Celestia ask "Are you ok?" and Sunset replied, with a "Yes I'm fine-" but the last word they couldn't hear. Once they were done Celestia turned back to girls and as she glared walked towards them they backed away slowly as if they were afraid of her.

"Listen girls I'm going to say this once and only once: Even if Sunset Shimmer was the one behind Anon-a-Miss-Which she is not-I will not tolerate harassment or violence in MY School! So I strongly suggest that unless you want all want share Mrs. Dash in ISS which she herself got herself into by locking Mrs. Shimmer in her own locker I suggest you all head to the cafeteria for Lunch, NOW!!" She shouted with the 'NOW' echoing arcoss the hallway. The four girls were now huddled together, terrifed at they're very angry Principal as well shocked to learn that Rainbow was in ISS because she locked Sunset in her own Locker.

They then nodded frantically, before saying, "Yes Mrs. Celestia!" And then zooming down the hallway to the cafeteria. Celestia watched as they disappeared down the hall before she exhaled tiredly, she then heard light sobbing and turning to see Sunset sitting on the floor and leaning against the lockers, hugging herself and softly crying.

Celestia then made a sad face before walking over to her daughter, kneeling down and hugging her firmly but gently, rocking slowly back and forth she brushed her gently with her right hand fingers and rubbed her back with her left, and shushed her, whispering into her ear, "Shh, shh. It's okay my little Sunshine. Mommy's here, mommy's got you." She said soothingly.

Sunset whimpered as she tried to relax feeling her mother's hands wrap around her and inhaled her sunflower perfume, making her feel safe. After a few seconds she was able to speak again, "Th-thank you mom. I was so scared. If-if you hadn't shown up Applejack was about to-" Celestia tighten the hug stopping Sunset from finishing.

"But she didn't I won't let anyone hurt you Sunset. I promise, no I swear to you, no harm will ever come to you." Celestia said firmly. She had already lost so many other people she cared about, and she wasn't about let Sunset join that list. She felt Sunset smile into her chest and hugged her back, "Thank you." The girl mumbled and Celestia smiled and continued the hug.

After 6 more minutes, Celestia stood herself and Sunset back up. She gave the red and yellow haired girl a kiss on the forehead and spoke, "Sunset how about you have Lunch in my office. I don't think it would be safe for you to be around so many other students without a teacher around, especially after that little stunt your friends just did."

Sunset was about to rebut before she thought about her situation again and nodded. Celestia smiled and held her at her by her side as they walked toward her Office.

Celestia opened the door, and Sunset sat down on the chair. She felt guilty that her mom had to go through so much trouble during her work just to help her, she turned to the woman who was walking back to her desk and said, "Mom I'm sorry you have to waste your time making sure im sa-"

Celestia stopped her by finger to her lips, "Ah-bahp-bahp-bahp! I don't want hear it miss. Shimmer." She then gave Sunset a soft smile before continuing, "I'm no longer just your principal, I'm your mother now too. Your safety is and always will be my number one concern."

Sunset gave a watery but grateful smile and was about to say thank you when they both heard a knock at the door. The two turned to each other in concern before they heard a second round of knocking. Celestia gave an expression to her daughter telling her to stay behind her incase it was student who want to pull a stunt on her. Sunset nodded and stayed her chair while Celestia walked over to the door and opened.

"Yes? Can I help y-" She said before she saw exactly who it was at the door.

"Um, hi?" Fluttershy said with a nervous smile and tray with two salads, bread rolls and chocolate milk cartens. Celestia then gave the timid girl and a rised brow and from as Sunset looked at her with fear and sunk into her chair

"What are you doing here Fluttershy?" asked Celestia bluntly as Fluttershy shifted her feet and tried to not make eye contact.

"I'm, I'm not here to cause trouble I'm just here to give Sunset some lunch." Fluttershy explained gesturing to the food tray she was holding. Celestia looked surprised that Fluttershy was doing something nice for sunset after thinking for so long that she was Anon-a-miss, Fluttershy then looked down in shame before continuing "You see I, never really believed that Sunset was Anon-a-miss. It just seemed so random and obivious for her to do even back in her bully days but my friends were so convinced that it was Sunset and asked me if I believed it too, that I was afraid that, that if-if I said anything against what they were saying they-they would think I was in on it and w-would hate me and, and," Fluttershy struggled to continued as she tears forming in her eyes and was overflowing with guilt and shame for not standing beside Sunset when she needed her while her food tray was shaking.

Celestia stared at the girl sympathetically who had not gone against Sunset because she truly believed she was guilty but because she was scared and pressured by her friends, While Sunset felt sorry for Fluttershy as she knew how much the girl hated confrontations. She then stood up and walked over to her mother and friend as the latter continued, "So th-that why when the girls weren't looking, I, I bought some from the cafeteria and came here to give to Sunset since I thought she would be hungry and I h-h-hoped that she f-find it her heart forgive-."

She stopped when she felt a hand on her shoulder she then turned her teary and scared gaze to Sunset who gave her a smile and nodded, "Of course I forgive you."

That did it. Fluttershy bit her lip and nearly dropped the tray until Celestia caught it as the two girls hugged each other with Fluttershy muttering "Thank you's" and "I'm sorry's" over and over again through her tears of relief and guilt and Sunset rubbed her back while tearing up slightly too but with tears of happiness, feeling overjoyed to have one of her friends back with her. Celestia smiled at the two teens, feeling happy that at least one of the girls had realized the truth and Sunset had a friend once again.

After a few minute Fluttershy had drained out her tears and the two held hands, Celestia then spoke up smiling at the Shy girl, "Well Fluttershy after that display I'd like to allow to eat with me and my daughter this lunch period."

Fluttershy nodded happily, more than okay with eating her friend and her, "Wait did you say 'daughter'?!" She gasped looking inbetween Sunset and Celestia. Sunset rubbed the back of her head sheepishly and Celestia merely gave an amused smiled and placed a hand on the former's shoulder, "Heh, heh. It a long story."

Sunset explained to Fluttershy how Celestia found her, how she adopted her and how she took care of her, after that Fluttershy left the office but of course when they finished they're lunch and Fluttershy swore she wouldn't tell anyone anything about what she was told, especially the other girls.

After She left her mother's office Sunset entered the library and saw Flash waiting for her behind a bookcase far from the sight of the students that were still exiting the room. Sunset snuck over to him and they both went over to a table.

"Hey Sunset" said Flash as they sat down.

"Hi Flash, how are you? Sunset asked him. Ever since the locker incident Flash had been one of the only people in the school Sunset actually felt safe around, she often asked herself why she ever faked dating this young man.

"Doing just fine and you?" He asked back, Sunset wanted to lie and say she was fine but she knew Flash would catch her, so she decided to tell him the truth, "Honestly, I've been better. My friends attacked by my locker cause they thought I was the reason Rainbow got into trouble. Applejack almost punched me if Principal Celestia hadn't shown up when she did. She then scared them off and let have lunch in her office and then Fluttershy came in and told me that she believed I was innocent and I forgave after that we had lunch and now we're here."

Flash gave a low whistle, "sounds like you had quite a day."

"You don't know the half of it." She mumbled, Flash noticed this and wrapped an arm around her. She smiled at him and leaned in closer, 'He's so thoughtful. Twilight definitely has good taste' She thought feeling very comfortable in Flash's embrace.

Flash then looked down at her, "Say how about we turn this day around by heading over to music room? There's something I wanna show you." He offered, Sunset raised a brow and asked, "What is it?"

Flash just winked and walked pasted her, "Follow me and you'll find out." Sunset decided to humor him and followed him out of the library, down the hallway and into the music room.

Sunset sat on the steps while Flash slung his Guitar over himself and sat next to her, "I made this escially for you. Figured it might help ease any anxiety you have."

(Play your favorite Guitar Soloist Love song)

Flash Then began singing Sunset the most beautiful song she ever while playing on his guitar. As he strums the strings, Sunset looks at him with wide eyes, she never realized what an amazing voice Flash places a hand over heart as she closes her eyes as she heard every note of the song.

Once he finishes Sunset gave him small smile, "That was Beautiful Flash, thank you."

Flash smiled back, "Hey anything for you Sunset."

"Really?" She asked in honest surprise.

Flash nodded, "Really, I know you I have had a pretty checkered history with each other but dispite that I've always felt that deep down you were a good person." As he talked he then took Sunset's hand and continued, "I know that whoever Anon-a-Miss is has made things difficult for you but I want you to know that's ready and willing to do whatever I can to prove you are innocent. That is more than a Pinkie Promise that is a Sentry Swear!" He finished as he remembered that Sentry Swear was a sacred oath in his family that could and would not be broken. Sunset though stunned by Flash's speeched gave him a warm, teary smile and hugged Flash tightly, sniffling into his jacket, "Thank you Flash, I really don't know what I do without you." She thanked him and Flash hugged her back.

"Anything for a friend." They stayed like this for a few minutes before they broke the hug and stood up. Sunset grabbed her back, "Well it's almost time to go, so I'll see you tomorrow Flash." Sunset said before turning to leave.

But just before Sunset was about to walk out the door, Flash spoked "Hey Sunset?" She turned to look at him as he steadied his nerves, "I just wanted to know if, you had and plans for tomorrow afternoon?"

Sunset thought for second before shaking her head, "Not really. Why?"

This was it. The moment Flash was waiting for, he took a deep breath in and then out before saying with all the confidence he could muster, " I was wondering if you like to check out this new café that opened nearby my house with me."

Sunset blushed as she had a crazy idea about what that meant and then asked "Y-you mean, like-like a, d-date?" Flash blushed profoundly at the mention of the D-word, while rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish smile and nod, "Y-yeah a-a date. But if you rather not then that just fine and-"

but before he could finish, Sunset walked over to him and gave a kiss on this cheek, saying "I would love that Flash. Pick me up at five" After waving goodbye to the still stunned Flash Sunset walked out of the room with a bright smile on her face, looking forward to tomorrow, She now had a second chance with Flash and she wasn't gonna waste it.

Meanwhile Flash finally managed to register what just happened and jumped up and down triumphally saying, "WOO-HOO!" He was looking very forward to tomorrow.
