Sitting behind the three computer screens, the thin and homely man whose only known by his screenname, D15k0rd, was monitoring a dozen things. His thin fingers danced across the keyboard as he locked one of them many, many accounts for a terrorist group, forwarded the current location of a wanted human trafficker to the FBI, sent information to the Federales about a new cartel caravan, scrambled the IP address and crashed the website that an international terror group was using for recruitment, and uploading a worm onto one of the server for Specter to compromise their operatives. To the terror and criminal underworld, D15k0rd was the most wanted man and had multiple bounties on his head.

While the other tasks were underway, the thin and homely man turned his attention to another task, the Gabby Gums website. He was doing this as a favor for an old friend who had a penchant for sugary baked goods. He moved the mouse cursor over to the Gabby Gums project. He traced the IP addresses of their recent uploads, then opened a window for the city grid of Canterlot City. He then set up an overlay that contained the IP, MAC and SSID addresses. He quickly double checked the information and removed the addresses that didn't match the uploads.

"Hmm... Several uploads from coffee shops and the public library. Not too shabby for kids. Oh, but what's this? Two uploads from school library yesterday? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! When you upload away from school, you can't get in trouble for causing a ruckus because you weren't using school property. But using school property? Naughty, naughty! Oh and what's this? Uploading from your own phones too? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Hasn't anyone ever told you that cellphones aren't secure? But you do show some promise and you would be perfect for causing some chaos to some very bad people."

The thin and homely man dropped a simple tracking program onto the phones of the three main uploaders for Gabby Gums. He kept an eye on Gabby Gums as he went about his other tasks.

A couple of hours later the thin and homely man turned his attention back to the Gabby Gums site. A grin spread on his lips as he saw the three were in the school library uploading. "Naughty little children."

The thin and homely man picked up his phone and quickly texted Celestia. 'You can catch them now if you move quickly. They're in the school's library right now and I'm quite they're uploading something that would cause a ruckus.'

***

Celestia's phone chirped and she looked at to to read the message. 'Thanks.'

'No problem. Just save a slice of cake for me.

Celestia rolled her eyes as she stuffed her phone in her pocket. Walking up to Luna's office door, she stuck her head inside. "Na-Na, I just got a tip that the ones uploading stuff to Gabby Gums is in the library right now uploading to the site."

Luna quickly stood up and accompanied her sister out of the office. As they neared the library, Luna split away.

Celestia smiled. Luna had always been the sneakier of the two. The ability to go unseen and unheard if she wanted was a rare gift indeed. When they would play hide and seek as kids, she always won.

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were gathered together behind the monitor of the school's library computer.

Scootaloo shoved a thumb drive into the USB port and opened a video file of Applejack and Rainbow Dash standing behind a tree holding hands. She clicked play and the two older girls faced one another. Applejack and Rainbow Dash's faces slowly moved closer, lips trembling as they puckered up. The video ended as their lips pressed together.

"I...uh, I don't know about this anymore. Yeah, sure, doing Gabby Gums was fun when we were doing silly edited videos and calling people poopy-heads. But now, it's not fun making fun of people in mean ways, posting up fake pictures and outing people.", Sweetie Belle said apprehensively. "I know Cozy said we can do this to get back at the people who bullied us, but now I'm feeling like a bully."

Scootaloo drummed her fingers on the mouse. "I mean, yeah. But Rainbow ditched me so she could suck face with AJ. And she thought I didn't know? Screw that, yo!"

Apple Bloom quickly took control of the mouse. "Yeah! Screw AJ! I get in trouble if I sneak off to play a video game, but Aj gets to sneak off to do kissy face with Dash!? Screw that!" She drug the video over to the Gabby Gums page and typed the header that read, 'Secret lesbians revealed!'

"Ah-ha! Gotcha!"

All three girls squealed in fright as the figure of Principal Celestia loomed over them.

Scootaloo quickly ducked under the table and began to crawl away as fast as her hands and knees could carry her. Crawling out from under the edge of the table, her hand came to rest on Vice-Principal Luna's shoe. "Ah...uh...heh-heh!" She quickly picked up a pencil that was laying on the floor. "I found my pencil."

Luna, with a rather nonplussed look on her face, simply snapped her fingers and jabbed her thumb upwards for the girl to get out from under the table.

After shutting down the computer and taking the thumb drive out of it, the principals escorted the three girls to the office.

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shrank in their chairs as the two principals sat on the edge of Celestia's desk and looked them over with arms crossed.

Celestia took a few breaths as she formed the words in her mind. "You three, what you did was very wrong. When you started uploading stuff to that site, it was slightly funny. Making Mister Broom look like he was peeing on the wall when he was washing it off with a hose or taking a picture of me eating a slice of cake. Though I must say it was a pleasant, if slightly annoying surprise when students started leaving boxes of cake on my desk. But then you started putting mean stuff up there. I'm disappointed in you three. You're better than this."

That was like an icy arrow piercing the hearts of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. "I'm sorry.", they said at the same time.

It took everything Celestia and Luna had to not break out into the 'aw' face.

Luna force the corners of her mouth down into a forced scowl. "Saying sorry to us won't cut it."

The three girls swallowed hard.

Luna continued, "What you're going to do is write apology letters for every student you posted a picture or video up on that site and deliver it to them personally."

Celestia walked over to a filing cabinet, opened a drawer and pulled out three sets of black sweats with green lettering. "You three will have detention for a week and are going into the washout program for a month. Your computer privileges will also be revoked for a month." She shoved the sweats into the arms of the three girls and gestured to the restroom in her office. "Now go get changed and report to the detention hall."

***

It was the end of the school day. The final bell rang and Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were standing out front of the school each holding the two apology letters. They swallowed hard, trying to get the lumps out of their throat as they waited for the two girls to receive their final letters.

Sunset, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow and Applejack came out, and the three girls approached the last two.

Rainbow balled up the letters the Cutie Crusaders handed her. "So a piece of paper saying you're sorry is supposed to make up for this!? What you did...gah! I can't even!"

Fluttershy physically interjected herself in her own gentle way. She laid a gaze on the Cutie Crusaders that made them feel like they were going to turn to stone. "What you did was very wrong. Not only did you out Rainbow and Applejack before they were comfortable with everyone knowing." She shot a sideways glance at the blue-skinned girl, who recoiled slightly. "But you also made a recording of them during a private moment."

Applejack looked at Apple Bloom, her face a mask of anger and hurt. "If'm you weren't my sister Ah'd...GAH!" She turned away, propped up against the wall and covered her face with a hand. "Ah ain't even told Granny an' Mac yet. Oh dear sweet Jesus! What'll Granny do when she find out?"

"Ahem-hem-hem!"

Applejack turned her head and laid eyes on said woman. "Granny! "Bout that video."

"Tut-tut-tut-tut." Granny Smith held up a finger to cut her granddaughter. "I dun heard 'bout that vidja."

"well Ah need ta say it." Applejack took in a deep breath, held it for a second as she formed the words, then let it out. "Granny..." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Ah like girls. I'm a lesbian. Ah know ya were raised in a diff'rent--"

"Ah known, durlin'. Ah've always known an' was jus' waitin' fer ya to get up th' gumption ta say it."

Applejack blinked. "Huh? Wha?"

"After y'all's ma an' pa passed, Ah raised you three like mah own. Ah dun raised seven tungin afore y'all were e'en a twinkle in yer pa's eye. Ah'd be a bad mamma an' a bad granma if'n Ah dinit know 'bout mah yungins."

"So ya ain't mad?"

Granny extended her arms. "'Mere you." She pulled her granddaughter into a hug. "Ah ain't mad or ashamed. I'm proud of ya." After parting from the hug, she shot a glare at Apple Bloom. "When we git home, yer gon cut me a switch. An' then ya can think 'bout what ya did fer th' next three months in yer room wit' no TV, no vidja games, no havin' friends o'er an' no dessert. An' Ah'm makin' mah famous apple crumble cake."

Apple Bloom hung her head. "Yes, ma'am."

Granny then turned her attention to the other two Cutie Crusaders."An' you two. If'n y'all were my youngins, Ah'd tan yer hides too, but seein' as yer not, Ah'll be callin' yer mas and pas tah tell'em what y'all dun did." She then approached Rainbow. "Now mah eyes ains't as sharp as they used tah be, but Ah c'n still bullseye a squirrel outta a tree at a hunert yards. Jus' sumptin tah think 'bout if'n ya have any thoughts o' breakin' AJ's heart." Her face became a kind, wrinkly smile. "Now Ah'll call yer ma an' pa tah talk wit'em 'bout you datin' my granddaughter."

Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze had found the information they needed. Wicked smiles spread on the faces of the three ancient sirens.

Adagio wrung her hand greedily. "After all these centuries of feeding on human suffering, we're finally going to get our hands on that tasty, tasty Equestria magic. We'll take over this world, then Equestria and then--"

"Tacos!", Sonata shouted as she pointed at a small cart selling tacos.

Aria shook her head at Sonata's outburst.

Adagio facepalmed. "I should have turned you into fish sticks a long time ago."
