Author's Note
Okay, so I wrote this short story in-between while I worked on another bigger story that I mentioned in a blog as I stated I would also be writing short stories, though I didn't exactly expect this short story to take that long.
A Shimmering Lame Bully
It was a beautiful Monday morning, and it was your first day at a school called Canterlot High School. You were hoping to make this be the best first day at a new school.
After breakfast, you grabbed your school supplies and put them in your backpack. After saying bye to your parents, you left the house and headed to your new school.
As you arrived at Canterlot High School, you gazed at how the building looked from the outside. It looked like a pretty big school. You saw quite a lot of students outside in the schoolyard, and also a lot more going into the school.
You headed inside and went straight to Principal Celestia's office to get your school schedule.
As you entered her office, Principal Celestia was sitting at her desk reading some papers. She then looked up upon seeing you come in and greeted you with a bright smile.
"Hello, young man." Principal Celestia greeted you. "How can I help you?"
"I'm here to get my school schedule." You replied.
"Okay." Principal Celestia said as she reached into her cabinet to find your schedule. "What's your name?"
"Anon Y. Mous." You answered.
Principal Celestia searched for your schedule under the "M" folder in her cabinet and gave you your schedule.
"There you go." Principal Celestia said. "Have a good day."
"You, too." You said back to her as you exited her office.
As you exited her office, you quickly went to your first class.
A couple of hours later, you were halfway through your first school day, and it seemed to be going pretty well so far. Though, you found the computer programming class to be an absolute bore.
As you walked through the hallway, you noticed that every student in the hallway was pressing up against the lockers for some reason. And not only that, but they looked pretty terrified of something. All of this was making you very confused about what was going on.
As you continued to walk down the hallway and wonder what this was all about, you were then suddenly grabbed by the arm by someone and you were being pressed up against the lockers like everyone else.
"What are you doing?!" Said the person who grabbed you by the arm. "You should not be in the middle of the hallway when Sunset Shimmer is passing through!"
You looked to your left to see who was the person who caught you by surprise, and that person was a guy with blue spiky hair and pale-colored skin.
"Who?" You asked.
The guy raised a curious eyebrow at you.
"You don't know who Sunset Shimmer is?" He asked you.
"Of course not. I'm new here." You replied.
"Oh! Well, that figures." The guy chuckled. "Everyone at this school knows who Sunset Shimmer is." The guy then stuck his hand out to introduce himself to you. "Hi. My name is Flash Sentry."
"Flash Sentry? That's a pretty cool name. My name is Anon Y. Mous." You replied as you shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you Ano..." Flash said as he then looked behind him and started to panic. "Oh, no! Here she comes!"
You and Flash both pinned yourselves against the lockers to not get in the way of this person called Sunset Shimmer.
Suddenly, a girl with vivid crimson-colored hair with brilliant yellow stripes walks by you and Flash and was smiling evilly while walking. Upon walking by, the students across from you were staring at her in fear, which tells you that's the girl Flash mentioned.
"Is that Sunset Shimmer?" You asked Flash.
"Yes, it is." Flash answered in a fearful tone.
"Yeah, I've never seen that girl before." You said as you looked back at her. "Who is she?"
"In this school, she's the self-proclaimed princess of the castle." Flash replied. "She's mean, she's selfish, and she's very devious. Ever since Freshman year, she's won the Fall Formal and has always been crowned the princess at those dances, and she acts like she is a princess and treats everyone around her like dirt."
"I see. Well, anymore exposition you got for me?" You asked.
"Huh?" Flash asked while giving you a confused look.
"Is there anything else about her I need to know?" You asked again while rephrasing your question.
"Well, I used to date her." Flash answered. "We broke up after she made herself popular by mooching off of my popularity."
"What?! Why would you date someone like her?!" You asked while sounding surprised and confused.
"I didn't know she was such a mean girl when I first met her!" Flash said while sounding defensive and embarrassed. "And besides, you don't say no when a girl wants to date you!"
"Uh, yes, you do." You replied in a deadpan tone. "If you don't know that person, then you shouldn't date them because you're putting yourself at risk of ending up in a relationship with a horrible person who doesn't care about you. You should get to know that person well enough before you date them."
Flash blinked a few times while staring at you with a blank face.
"Are you sure you're a guy?" Flash asked.
You turned around to see if Sunset Shimmer is out of the hallway yet. And she's not only still in the hallway, but she's walking very slowly that she's only about thirteen feet away from you and Flash.
"She's still here?!" You asked in a surprised and confused tone.
"Yeah." Flash replied. "She sometimes loves to take her time with walking through the hallway to prolong all that fear people get from her. It makes her feel powerful."
"Well, intimidation only works if people allow themselves to be intimidated." You replied while still looking at Sunset. "Why doesn't anyone stand up to her?"
"Heh, it's so much easier said than done, my friend." Flash chuckled nervously.
"How?" You asked in a more curious tone. "There's like hundreds of students in this school and there's only one of her. All of us could easily overpower her if we stand together."
"That's true. We could do that." Flash replied in a casual tone, which was then followed by him shaking in fear. "If only she wasn't so scary!"
You raised a curious eyebrow at Flash's fear while shaking your head in disapproval.
"Trust me. It's better to not get on that girl's bad side." Flash said while still looking scared.
You continued to show a look of disapproval about all of this, and you then turned around once again and Sunset was still in the hallway walking slowly. And she was a few feet away from exiting the hallway.
"Thank goodness she's almost out of here." Flash sighed in relief.
You looked at all of the students who looked happy in relief that Sunset was almost out of the hallway, and you just couldn't believe they were all allowing Sunset to do this to them. As you thought about all of what Flash told you and what you witnessed, there was only one thing that needed to be done. You took a deep breath and then exhaled as you stepped forward and were now in the middle of the hallway.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET BACK OVER HERE!" Flash whispered to you in a very anxious manner.
As you stepped into the middle of the hallway, the students began to turn their attention toward you, and they were all looking as scared as Flash.
As Sunset was almost close to exiting the hallway, she stopped walking and looked to her right to see that all of the students were looking at something instead of her, and she then turned to the left and saw the same thing. Sunset became puzzled about what was going on, so she turned around to see what was up.
As she turned around, she was surprised to see that you were standing in the middle of the hallway. While she was looking at you, you looked back at her while giving her a smirk and folding your arms.
Upon seeing you, Sunset immediately shot a scowl at you as you now had her attention. After about five seconds of staring at you, she started to walk toward you while lightly stomping her feet and still giving you that same scowl. As she was walking, the students reacted in an absolute panic with a couple of them breathing rapidly.
As Sunset finally approached after that long walk back through the hallway, she continued to stare at you in the eye with a scowl. You just kept smirking to show that you weren't scared of her.
Sunset then turned to her left to see Flash standing near you two. She then gave Flash a scary-looking evil smile.
"Hi, Flash." Sunset said in a creepy tone.
Flash immediately jumped in fear from his ex-girlfriend saying hi to him which made him sweat like crazy.
Sunset then turned back to you and her evil smile turned back into an angry scowl. She darted her eyes up and down like she was examining you.
"I don't think I've seen you before." Sunset said to you. "You new here?"
"Yes, I am." You replied while still giving Sunset a smirk.
Sunset's scowl immediately turned back into an evil smile and then chuckled.
"In that case since it's your first time here, I'll fill you in on what goes on around here since you're obviously too brainless to notice the obvious." Sunset said while continuing to smile at you. "This is my school, and these are my hallways. And whenever you see me walking by, you get out of my way like everyone else here does."
You didn't say anything, but you felt like laughing over how entitled this girl is.
"So, since your stupidity has forced me to explain this to you, I'll let you off with a warning." Sunset said as she folded her arms while still giving you that smile. "See you around, loser." Sunset then turns around and walks back through the hallway again.
"Heh. I'm a loser, huh?" You replied while talking in your head and still smirking at Sunset. "At least I can get people to respect me without having to be a bitch." You then reached into your pocket and pulled out a handful of marbles and chuckled while doing so. "It sucks that it's always up to the little guy to make a difference, but at least they get to have fun while doing it."
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, you tossed all the marbles near Sunset's feet, which causes her to slip on them.
"WH-WHOAH!" Sunset yelped as she fell over from slipping on the marbles, which causes her to fall to the floor.
All of the students gasped in horror about what they just witnessed, while you laughed and pointed at Sunset.
"Well, everyone, there's your princess of the Fall Formal!" You laughed over Sunset slipping and also your pun.
While you laughed at Sunset, Sunset stood up and stared at you in rage and looks like she's about to pop a blood vessel.
"YOU LITTLE SNOT RAG!" Sunset screamed at you in anger. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?!"
"From the looks of it, I'd say a total narcissistic bitch." You replied.
All of the students gasped again over what you just said to Sunset. Sunset continued to get even angrier to the point where it sounded like her blood was boiling. Suddenly as she looked like she was at her breaking point, she started to laugh. And not just a small laugh, but a big maniacal laugh. While she laughed, she walked back towards you.
"I must say, I'm impressed!" Sunset laughed while walking over to you with an even wider evil smile. "No one in this school has ever stood up to me, all while keeping a straight face! You either got quite a spine, or you're more stupid than I thought!"
"Woah! Sounds to me like you're in a bullying mood." You replied while not looking the slightest bit scared of Sunset and continued to look amused at Sunset's rage. "And if that's the case, then come on! Try to bully me!"
"Definitely the latter." Sunset replied in a mad raw tone. Sunset then cracked her knuckles like she was ready to beat on you. She then approaches you while clenching her first. "Your choice. Head, gut, or groin?"
"Gut." You answered while still wearing a smirk.
"Your call." Sunset replied while still looking as crazy as ever. She then raised her fist back to put some packing into it, and she then quickly punched you in the stomach.
As Sunset punched you, you felt no pain from that punch, but she certainly did because the next thing you knew she was holding her hand while screaming in pain while tears poured out of her eyes. You then lifted your shirt to show Sunset and everyone that you had a couple of bricks strapped to your chest.
"YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!" Sunset screamed while holding her hand in pain. "I'M GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL!!!"
"Uh, sorry. I don't think I'm ready for dating just yet." You replied while still haven't stopped giving Sunset that smirk.
As you said this, Sunset let out an even louder scream that caused the entire hallway to shake. She then turned around and walked away while still holding her hand in pain and looking like she was on the verge of crying.
As Sunset exited the hallway, you all looked at everyone and smiled at them.
"You see, everyone? This is what you should be doing to Sunset." You explained to everyone in the hallway. "You all should be standing up to her, not kissing her ass just because you all fear her. If we all band together, Sunset will never become a problem for anyone again. So, who's with me?"
You expected everyone to join up with you, but much to your confusion, they all gave you funny looks and walked away. The only person who didn't walk away was Flash.
"Well, I guess that leaves only you, Flash." You said as you walked over to Flash. "So, you want to join me?"
Flash didn't respond, not even non-verbally. He then started to walk away from you.
"Flash? Where are you going?" You asked.
"Anon. You're a nice guy and all, but you've got a serious death wish." Flash replied as he walked away. "And you've made yourself too dangerous for me to hang out with."
You watched as Flash walked away to avoid getting in the middle of Sunset's wrath that you set off.
"Eh, whatever. I'll bet he was a boring person with no personality anyway." You said while trying not to feel disappointed. You then walked away in the other direction while continuing to be optimistic. "No matter. I'll just keep trying to prove to him and everyone else how important it is to stand up to people like Sunset Shimmer. No matter what it takes."
The next morning, it was another school day for you, and another day for you to hang out with your new "friend." You brought a few things from the home so you'll be prepared for what Sunset tries to pull on you.
As you approach the school doors, you were about to enter the school, but you then stopped immediately once you remembered to be cautious. So, you reached into your backpack, and pulled out a parabolic microphone. You inserted a pair of headphones into the jack and pointed the mic at the doors. Through the headphones, you heard some snickering coming from inside the school, and you also heard something that sounded like liquid moving around. You knew that didn't sound good, so you decided to confirm your suspicion.
"Well, that Sunset Shimmer sure is lame as hell!" You said aloud. "If only she wasn't so up her own ass, she could see that she's in desperate need of counseling!"
Suddenly, you heard a loud growl come through your headphones, which confirmed that Sunset was indeed inside the building near the school entrance. And based on that liquid sound, she wants to splash you with something.
As you tried to think of a way to get into the school without being drenched, you heard whistling coming from behind you, you turned to see who was whistling, and it was Principal Celestia carrying a tray with flowerpots on it. It looked like she was carrying them towards the school entrance.
Even though you hated to see a sweet lady like Principal Celestia take the fall for something that didn't involve her, you had no choice.
"Well, time for another great school day!" You said aloud as you put your microphone back into your backpack. You then walked over to Principal Celestia. "Let me grab the doors for you, Principal Celestia."
"Thank you so much, Anon." Principal Celestia replied sweetly.
You then opened the door, and the next thing you saw was Sunset jumping in front of Principal Celestia and drenching her with a bucket full of pink liquid. Principal Celestia screamed as Sunset drenched her and it caused her to drop her flowerpots.
Sunset's eyes went wide upon getting Principal Celestia soaked with the liquid, and Principal Celestia looked at Sunset in intense anger.
"Uh, hi, Principal Celestia." Sunset chuckled nervously while waving her hand.
"Sunset Shimmer. Before I drag you to my office, I want you to tell me what is this stuff you splashed me with." Principal Celestia said angrily.
"Oh, I took a bunch of dead fish and grounded them up and mixed them with water in a blender." Sunset replied while sweating nervously.
Principal Celestia immediately grabbed Sunset's arm to drag Sunset to her office. Sunset then looked at the entrance to see you waving at her while smirking. Sunset looked back at you with a furious look.
"Hook, line, and sinker." You chuckled.
A few hours later after a few classes on your schedule, you were heading to gym glass.
As you were about to walk around a corner, you immediately spotted Sunset and hid behind the corner. And it looked like she was talking to two boys. One is overweight and had orange hair, gray-colored skin, a black shirt with a pair of scissors on it, and he had an overbite. The other is skinny had turquoise hair, light amber-colored skin, and a green sweatshirt with a snail on it. You pulled out your parabolic microphone to listen to their conversation.
"I can't believe I let that doofus trick me!" Sunset shouted in frustration.
"Well, if you didn't want him to trick you, then why did you let him?" The overweight boy asked Sunset.
Sunset looked at that boy with that same seriously angry look that you always love to see.
"Uh, I think we should keep our mouths shut, Snips." The skinny boy said to the overweight boy whose name is Snips.
"Okay, but I was only asking a question, Snails." Snips replied to the skinny boy whose name is Snails.
"Heh, I now know their names. That was pretty convenient." You chuckled.
"Anyway. Listen up, you two." Sunset said to Snips and Snails. "While I was in Principal Celestia's office, I managed to snatch a copy of that guy's schedule."
"How did you do that?" Snails asked.
"Oh, all I had to do was ask Principal Celestia about a recent transfer student to get his name, and then steal a copy of his schedule from her cabinet." Sunset replied with a smirk. "His name is Anon Y. Mous."
"What a stupid name." Snips chuckled.
"Oh, and Snips isn't?" You whispered in a offended tone. "It sounds like another name for pubes after you cut them."
"So, since I now have Anon's schedule, I know where he'll be throughout the entire school depending on the time of day." Sunset said with an evil smile.
"Ugh. Can someone say stalker?" You asked rhetorically.
"His class for right now is gym class." Sunset said with an even wider evil smile. "And you know what that means, right?"
"Uh, mile runs?" Snips asked.
"Charley horses?" Snails asked.
"No!" Sunset shouted in an annoyed tone. "It means he has to get changed in the locker room. Which is why I want you two to follow him to the boys' locker room."
"Why?" Snails asked.
"When he's in the locker room changing, tackle him, strip him down, take nude photos of him, and then send the photos to me once you get them." Sunset replied with a smirk.
"You got it!" They both said while saluting to Sunset.
You reacted with nervousness over what Sunset wanted those two to do you. You were then even more creeped out about what you heard Sunset whisper to herself.
"Sure, I'm mainly going to use those photos as blackmail, but I should hang onto them instead of deleting them after I'm done using them if that guy has quite a body." Sunset said while licking her lips.
You were grossed out and freaked out about what you just heard Sunset say about you, even more as you saw Sunset grin suggestively with drool coming out of her mouth.
"Why isn't that girl in jail?!" You asked yourself in a creeped-out tone.
You put your microphone away and immediately got going to gym class while thinking about what to do for this situation. You then remembered an old classic prank that you think will probably help you.
As you head for the gym, you opened your camera app on your phone and held it up in backward mode to see if Snips and Snails were following you, and sure enough, they were.
As you were a couple of feet away from the locker rooms and with Snips and Snails still behind you, you immediately turned around to put your plan into motion.
"Hey, look! What is that creepy thing?!" You shouted while pointing your finger behind Snips and Snails.
"What?!" Snips and Snails replied as they turned around to see what you were pointing at. They looked around in every part of the hallway to see what you were pointing at.
"What did he see?" Snails asked.
"I don't know." Snips replied.
Suddenly, Snips and Snails both heard a loud door slam, and they around to see that you weren't near them anymore.
"He must have gone into the locker room." Snails said.
"Excellent." Snips said while smiling mischievously while holding up his phone. "Looks like School Picture Day is early this year."
"Heh, that's a good one Snips!" Snails laughs.
"Thanks! I made it up myself!" Snips replied.
The two of them entered the boys' locker room while still laughing at Snips' line.
As Snips and Snails entered the boys' locker room, you then came out of the girls' locker room. And suddenly, you heard screams coming from inside the boys' locker room. You then immediately grabbed the boys' locker room sign and the girls' locker room sign and removed them, to reveal that those signs you removed were fake. As it turns out, you had pasted copies of the locker room signs on the opposite locker room signs to trick Snips and Snails into entering the girls' locker room, and you distracted them so they wouldn't notice you pasting the signs.
Suddenly, Snips and Snails were booted out of the girls' locker room while looking like they were beaten up by the girls in there. You gave them both a smirk as they laid on the floor unconscious.
"Heh, that's what pervs like you two get for refusing to respect a girl's human right to have privacy." You chuckled.
You then looked up and saw Vice Principal Luna walk by, and this was a good opportunity to clean up the mess on the floor.
"Hey, Vice Principal Luna! We've got a problem here!" You called out to Vice Principal Luna.
As Vice Principal Luna carried Snips and Snails to her office after you explained to her what happened, you got back to your daily school schedule for the day.
A few hours later, it was lunchtime. You usually brought your own lunch to school, and that's a good thing for today.
As you entered the cafeteria, you waited for Sunset to show up at the table you were sitting at. She was nowhere to be spotted, which meant that she could be hiding and watching you from a distance.
While you waited, you took out a cinnamon roll, a burger patty, and a tube of anchovy paste.
As you continued to wait, you heard approaching footsteps that were heading towards you from behind. You then turned around and Sunset held two trays of food in her hands. You quickly ducked under the table as she tried to cream you with both of them, which made her miss, much to her usual anger.
"Sunset, only infants play with their food." You said with an amused smile while wagging your finger as you got out from under the table.
Sunset screamed once again in frustration over another failed attempt at getting you back.
"By the way, you're just in time to see what I'm eating today." You said to Sunset as you cut the cinnamon roll in half with a plastic knife creating two slices, placed the burger patty on one cinnamon roll slice, and put anchovy paste on the burger, and topped it with the other cinnamon roll slice. "I present to you, the cinnamon burger sandwich." You then took a bite out of it, much to Sunset's disgust.
"Ew! You're disgusting!" Sunset shouted.
"I like it." You replied while shrugging. You then pulled out some strawberry yogurt and poured it onto your cinnamon burger sandwich and took another bite.
Sunset's face immediately turned green and made a face like she was about to throw up.
Upon noticing, you bolted out of the cafeteria with your lunch box and pressed your ear against the cafeteria doors to hear what will happen next. You then heard barfing sounds which were then followed by reactions of disgust from everyone in the lunch room. You then suddenly came up with a funny nickname for Sunset.
"I think I'll call her Sunsweat Spewer from now on." You chuckled as you took another bite out of your sandwich, only instead of enjoying it, you got a bit disgusted. "Hmm. Maybe I don't like this sandwich after all."
A few hours later, you attended your final class for the day which was art class, which was unfortunately the only class that you and Sunset have together.
As you got started on a painting in a corner inside the classroom, you were approached from behind by Sunset Shimmer who was carrying a yellow paint can.
"Time for a little atomic wedgie, and then have paint poured down your pants." Sunset snickered in a whisper.
She grabbed your underpants that was peaking from opening of your pants, and then pulled with all her might, only to then fall to the ground and unsuccessfully give you a wedgie.
"Wha-what happened?" Sunset asked in surprise over her failed wedgie attempt. She then looks at her hand to notice a pair of tighty whities are stuck to her hand, which caused her to scream in embarrassment.
"I'm more of a boxers kind of a guy than a briefs kind of guy." You said as you showed Sunset your boxers' waistband. You stuffed a pair of briefs into the back of your pants and put superglue on them over considering the possibility that Sunset would give you a wedgie.
Sunset then blushed and continued to scream while trying to shake the briefs off her hand, but to no avail. As everyone in the art class looked at her, she got even more embarrassed which caused her to run out of the room. You chuckled to yourself as you continued to hear Sunset scream in the hallway.
"Geez, Sunset. You're such a creep." You chuckled. "Stealing a guy's underpants, and also wanting to get nude photos of him? You really are in desperate need of counseling."
After art class, you went to you locker to grab your things and go home. You closed your locker and head straight for the school entrance to leave the building.
As you got outside, you still stayed cautious just in case Sunset was anywhere outside. You looked to your left and right and also watched from the front and behind you, and she was nowhere to be seen. You also pulled out your parabolic microphone so you could be able to hear Sunset from a distance.
You kept looking in every direction as you started walking so that Sunset won't sneak up on you. As you continued to walk forward, you heard snickering in front of you through your headphones. You noticed that the snickering was coming from behind the horse statue in front of the school.
You knew what Sunset was up to, so you tried to think of something to counterattack her surprise on you just like this. You reached into your backpack to pull something else out that you brought with you to school this morning, and what you pulled out was a water balloon that you filled up this morning.
"Wow. I was expecting this thing to pop while I carried it in my backpack all day." You said to yourself in your head. "How convenient that this didn't pop for some unknown reason."
You then tossed the water balloon over the horse statue, and it then popped with water getting everywhere from behind the statue. You also then heard a scream as the water balloon popped and also saw something appear from behind the statue that looked like it slipped out of a person's hand and it then fell on the ground, and it was a tray of pie.
Much to your lack of surprise, the person who screamed from behind that was indeed Sunset as she came out from behind the statue soaking wet and covered in balloon pieces. And of course, she was as usual as angry as ever.
"Heh. Looks like you failed again, Sunsweat Spewer." You chuckled.
"Sunsweat Spewer? What a cute nickname." Sunset angrily replied sarcastically through her teeth.
"I came up with it after that mess you made in the cafeteria." You snickered while looking at Sunset with a smirk.
"You think you're so clever, don't you?" Sunset asked as she started getting even angrier.
"No, not really. Anyone could have done those things that I did. The problem is you're just a lame-ass bully." You replied.
Sunset continued to get even angrier after you threw that insult at her.
"Do you ever shut up?!" Sunset shouted at you.
"What? It's true." You replied while looking amused at Sunset's anger. "You constantly fail at trying to bully me. You're not exactly a very clever girl."
Sunset stopped getting angry and then looked at you with that usual evil smile of hers.
"Oh, really? You don't think I'm clever?" Sunset asked while folding her arms.
"No, I do not." You replied while also folding your arms.
Sunset then chuckled and started walking towards you.
"Tell me. Would you like to know the real reason why nobody is joining you on this pathetic attempt of a revolution that you're trying to start against me?" Sunset asked with a smirk as she stopped walking towards you while only being a few feet away from you.
"I already know the reason. It's because everyone is afraid of you." You answered.
Sunset then chuckled again, which slowly turned into a laugh.
"Someone as clever and observant as you actually believes that?" Sunset asked while still laughing.
"That's what Flash told me, and I saw people in the hallway being afraid of you." You replied.
"Well, it is true that everyone is afraid of me, but that's not the main reason why they don't join together to take me down." Sunset stated with a smirk. "The real reason is that everyone in that school is divided against one and other, and I caused that division."
"What?" You asked.
"It was easy." Sunset replied with an even wider smirk. "I figured that there would be people who would try to gang up on me, so I had to make it so they wouldn't do that. And I did so by tricking people into tearing apart friendships and dividing themselves into categories based on their personalities so that those individuals and smaller groups combined with their intense fear of me would not dare stand up to me. The friendship destroying part was certainly the most fun part of it all, particularly when I broke apart the friendship of five girls who were very close to each other using the magic of texting." Sunset then pulled out her phone and gave it a quick kiss. "Ah, the magic that modern technology can do in this world is amazing."
"I see. That is very clever." You chuckled. "But, all of this isn't going to last forever. Eventually, what I'm doing is going to inspire everyone to realize that you need to be taken down. No school in the world should be like this where everyone is divided against one and other and afraid of one person who treats them like dirt, and everyone will soon see that. Face it, Sunset. This whole princess thing of yours is going to be over soon."
As you wrapped up your confident speech, Sunset stared at you for a few seconds and then blinked twice. Then, she burst out laughing. Very hard.
"You think I'm going to be taken down?! Oh, that's rich!" Sunset laughed. "Why don't you just stop wasting your time already on something that's not going to work? Honestly, you'd be better off using your cleverness for something more worthwhile."
Suddenly, Sunset's eyes went wide as she just thought of an idea.
"Actually, I think maybe I have just the idea of what you could use your cleverness for." Sunset said with a smirk.
"And what idea would that be?" You asked while giving Sunset a deadpan look.
"You could use your cleverness to help me." Sunset replied while pointing her thumb at her.
"You? Why would I want to help you be a bully?" You asked while raising a curious eyebrow.
"Because that will be one of the things you'd do for me as my prince." Sunset replied while giving you a seductive look.
Your eyes went wide as Sunset answered your question, which made you even more confused.
"Wha-what?! Prince?!" You exclaimed. "What are you talking about?!"
"Well, if I'm a princess who's feared by everyone and will try to keep their distance from me, I might feel lonely after a while." Sunset replied as she walked closer to you and placed her hand on your shoulder while looking at you seductively. "And someone like you who's just as clever as me is the perfect choice to have by my side. As my prince, I'll treat you so much better than I treat everyone else and I'll give you an endless amount of my love. With you around, my life will be perfect and I'll have everything that I could want." Sunset then leaned forward with her face a couple of inches away from you. "So, hotshot. What do you say? Want to become my prince?"
Upon being asked that question, you immediately stepped back while giving Sunset a creeped-out look.
"Is that a no?" Sunset asked while giving you a sad puppy dog look.
"Sunset, what is your problem?" You asked Sunset in a freaked-out tone. "Why are you so obsessed with this princess delusion of yours?"
Upon being asked that, Sunset got mad again.
"It's not a delusion! It's my destiny!" Sunset shouted.
"But, why?!" You asked again. "What has made you so obsessed with wanting to be a princess of all things?! You criticize me for wanting to do something meaningless, but what about what you're doing?! What you're focusing on is nothing but fantasy! Why are you appointing something as ridiculous as becoming a princess as your destiny?!"
As you ask Sunset all of this, she doesn't say anything for a couple of seconds. She then finally spoke up.
"You really want me to tell you?" Sunset asked you.
"Yes!" You replied.
"Okay, but you won't believe me. You'll think I'm crazy." Sunset said.
"Sunset, after seeing who you are as a person today and yesterday, you've already convinced me you're crazy." You replied. "Just go ahead and tell me."
"Okay, your call." Sunset stated while clearing her throat as she was going to give you a long explanation. "The reason I'm so obsessed with wanting to be a princess was because I was supposed to become one. You see, this world me and you live in, I was not born in this world. The world where I was born contains a place called Equestria, which is inhabited by ponies and mythical creatures. I wasn't born as a human in this world, I was born as a pony in that world, a unicorn to be exact. In that world, I was the top student of Principal Celestia's pony counterpart in that world known as Princess Celestia, who is an alicorn princess. One day, I decided that I wanted to become an alicorn princess and be given an Elements of Magic crown to do so. Unfortunately, Princess Celestia refused to make me a princess when I demanded it from her. And when she expelled me from her school and banished me from her castle, I decided to use that crystal mirror I've done research on to come to this world. And once I came to this world, I turned into a human. And ever since I enrolled myself into this school with a desire to rule over everyone, I have been what you've witnessed today and yesterday, and that's how it's going to stay."
You blinked a few times while also being remotely confused by all of this. Sunset also got angry from looking back on her past.
"This is all Celestia's fault!" Sunset shouted. "All I wanted was to become a princess, but that preachy windbag wouldn't let me because she claimed I'm unworthy of being one!"
"That's because you are unworthy of being a princess, Sunset." You replied in a serious tone.
"What did you just say?!" Sunset shouted at you.
"As crazy as that story is, there is some truth to it regarding who you are, Sunset." You stated. "Now, let's say that this world that you speak of does exist hypothetically and there is a Celestia in that world who is a princess. I'm sure she had a very logical reason for why she refused to make you a princess."
"Really? And what reason would that be?" Sunset asked you angrily.
"That you're nothing but a spoiled brat." You replied.
As you said this, Sunset looked like she was going to even more mad, but she then once again chuckled at your statement.
"A spoiled brat, huh?" Sunset asked. "I'm a spoiled brat, all because I want to claim what should be rightfully mine, huh?"
"No, you're a spoiled brat because you go around expecting people to hand things to you when you demand them to." You replied. "And you obviously wanted to become a princess not for the responsibilities or the good intentions of helping the creatures of that world, but just simply for your own selfish gain and nothing more. And if that's not a good reason to deny you a princess, then I don't know what is."
Sunset once again got mad as you told her the harsh truth.
"Face it, Sunset. You're not a princess, and you never will be." You said as you started to walk away. "Even if you did have that crown, you still wouldn't be a princess. So, you can continue to be under that delusion that you're supposed to be some kind of princess, I don't care what you do. But I must warn you if being a princess is all that you care about, then you'll have nothing special in your life, and your cruelty will just leave you all alone with no friends. In other words, all you're doing is living the life of a pathetic loser."
You continued to walk away to the point where Sunset could no longer see you. As you left, Sunset continued to get even madder about what you told her.
"That idiot doesn't know what he's talking about." Sunset said as she leaned against the school's horse statue. "Not every princess is like Celestia where they boast about friendship and love. And Celestia wouldn't be a princess in the first place if she didn't have her power." Sunset then thought about the crown again, which caused her to get even madder. "If only I had that crown! I'd have just as much, if not, more power than Celestia! I may not be in Equestria anymore, but I'll bet that crown would be just as powerful in this world as it is in that wor..."
Suddenly, an idea popped into Sunset's head. And she then walked to the front of the statue and place her hand on the pedestal of the statue. And suddenly, her hand phased right through it. Much to her surprise, and also her delight as she then smiled evilly like she had something in mind.
"Well, what do you know? It looks like thirty moons have passed and the portal is now open." Sunset said as she then stood up and then walked away while looking like she has something planned about that portal. "I'll prove that numbskull wrong that it is my destiny to rule as a princess, and I'll do so by getting that Elements of Magic crown. And then, he and everyone else will be bowing down before their new princess of this world and Equestria."
Sunset continued to walk away while laughing maniacally about whatever it is she was going to do to get her hands on that crown.
A few months later into your first year at CHS, nothing has happened ever since the day you outwitted Sunset Shimmer throughout your entire second day at that school. In fact, you haven't even actually seen Sunset at all during the last few months ever since that afternoon when she told you about some world called Equestria. You didn't even see her at the Fall Formal since you didn't go to it because you were sick during the week it was on, which was during your first week at CHS. The only thing big that you know that happened at CHS in the last few months was a Battle of the Bands competition, of course, you didn't participate in it, and you haven't even heard about it until just recently due to also being sick during the week the competition was held. You were very confused about why you were coincidentally getting sick during big events at CHS, but it didn't bother you too much. Which was too bad because you heard there were some pretty good bands in that competition such as The Rainbooms, which was the band that won the competition.
After a sick week, you had just returned to school, and you were currently at your locker putting your stuff in it. You then turned around to head to your first class of the day.
As you walked down the hallway, you spotted a familiar face that you'd be a fool to not recognize. It was Sunset Shimmer, the same bully who you haven't crossed paths with in months.
"Well, time for everyone to be up against the walls." You said while rolling your eyes.
As you expected everyone in the middle of the hallway to get out of Sunset's way like they usually do, much to your surprise, nobody moved. In fact, it doesn't even seem like they're scared of Sunset like they usually are. And also even more confusing, Sunset's usual facial expressions are different. Instead of smirking and smiling evil when she walked through the halls, she was smiling in a happy and friendly way while waving to the people she passed. What you were witnessing right now was making you feel very bewildered.
"What is going on?" You asked aloud. "Eh, whatever. Sunset must be pulling another gimmick on everyone." You then turned around and walked away to avoid getting in the middle was Sunset was up to, but you then stopped once she called out to you.
"Hey, Anon!" Sunset called out to you in a happy tone.
As you stopped when Sunset called you, you turned around to see Sunset waving to you at the other end of the hallway, and she was still smiling very happily. You looked at her with a very confused look on your face.
"Okay, so either she is trying to trick everyone, or she made a recent discovery of what this thing called niceness is." You said quietly to yourself. "Either way, it's freaking me out." You then turned around and continued to walk away.
"Hey, wait up!" Sunset called out to you once more as she started to run down the hallway towards you.
At this point, you were pretty much lost on what everything was going on. Between Sunset's unusual behavior and no one experiencing fear from her, it's almost like you showed up to the wrong school this morning. But, regardless of your confusion, you were getting to the bottom of this starting by asking Sunset. You then turned around to see that Sunset had just finished catching up to you, and that sweet smile on her face sure didn't go anywhere.
"How are you doing, Anon?" Sunset asked you cheerfully.
"Uh... Fine, I guess." You replied in a confused tone.
"Good. I'm glad you're doing alright." Sunset said while still sounding happy.
Your confusion about Sunset's unusual behavior had not ceased to get any bigger. From looking at her and talking to her, it's like you were talking to a completely different person. Still, you continued to believe that this was all a trick. But, you also remembered that Sunset never really needed to pretend to be a kinder person since she was very open about how cruel she was and still got what she wanted. But, then you also figured that maybe this was like with Flash where she pretended to be a nice person to him just so she could benefit off of him. However, unlike Flash, you already know that Sunset is a cruel person, and she knows that you're a very clever person to not fall for any fake kindness. You could not figure out at all what was going on here.
"Hey, are you alright?" Sunset asked as she waved her hand in front of you to get your attention.
As Sunset had your attention back, you continued to converse with Sunset to understand what she was trying to pull.
"Okay, Sunset. What are doing now?" You asked her straightforwardly.
"Huh?" Sunset replied in a confused tone.
"What are you up to now, Ms. Princess of the Fall Formal?" You asked again while looking suspicious.
"What?" Sunset replied while looking even more confused. She then immediately realized what your suspicion was about. "Oh, wait! "That's right! You and I haven't seen each other in a while, so I guess that means you haven't noticed."
"Noticed what?" You asked.
Sunset then stood proudly and spread her arms out while closing her eyes.
"That the old mean Sunset Shimmer had hit the road and will never be coming back!" Sunset stated in a celebratory tone. "Now, the new kind Sunset Shimmer is here to stay and undo all of the hurt she caused everyone by being a better person than her predecessor ever was! And she is here to ask you if you want to hang out with her, my man!"
Sunset then opened her eyes to notice you were still as confused as ever, which caused her to blush and give you a toothy smile like she felt embarrassed.
"That is if you want to." Sunset said as she rubbed the back of her head while still blushing.
You still try to believe that this was all a trick, but her niceness and her awkwardness felt so genuine that it was difficult for you to detect any signs that she was faking it. You were about to respond until you heard voices from behind you.
"Hey, Sunset!" said what sounded like a group of girls. You then turned around to see that five girls were standing behind you.
"Hey, girls." Sunset replied while waving to them. She then looks back at you. "These were the five girls that I told you about. They're my friends."
"Really? That's them?" You asked as you looked back at them.
"Yep." Sunset replied with a nod. She then looked back at her friends. "Girls, I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine. His name is Anon."
Suddenly, a girl with pink hair and a wide toothy smile bounced forward towards you.
"Ooh! An old friend?! How exciting!" said the girl as she grabbed you by her arms and started spinning you around, much to your queasiness. "HELLO, NEW FRIEND! I'M PINKIE PIE!!!"
She then let go of you and sent you flying to the other side of the hallway and you hit the lockers on that side.
As you stood up while rubbing the back of your head in pain, that girl who tossed you named Pinkie Pie looked at you with that same toothy smile while the other girls looked at you with concern, except for the girl with rainbow-colored hair as she was giggling at what just happened.
"Ow, damn it. What the hell was that all about?" You asked Pinkie.
All of the girls' eyes went wide, except for that same girl with the rainbow-colored hair who started to laugh.
"Wow. I'm glad I'm not the mother who has to kiss your mouth." Pinkie replied in a surprised tone while pointing at you.
The girl with the rainbow-colored hair laughed even harder while dropping to the floor from laughing so hard.
"Listen, it'd be for the best if you stop with the potty talk." Pinkie said to you.
"Why?" You asked Pinkie.
"Because for some reason, I get a phone call from an angry parent every time someone says a bad word. And it's so weird how the calls only come from my phone." Pinkie said as she pulled out her phone while raising a curious eyebrow at it. She then puts her phone away at then looks back at you with a smile. "I'll give you a quick introduction. She then rushes over to the girl with purple hair.
"This is Rarity." Pinkie said while placing her hand on the girl's shoulder.
Pinkie then zips over to the girl with the rainbow-colored hair who is still laughing.
"This is Rainbow Dash." Pinkie said while pointing at the laughing girl.
Pinkie then pulls two girls closer to each other, one who had yellow-colored hair and wore a hat, and one who had pink-colored hair.
"And this is Applejack and Fluttershy." Pinkie said as she then go of them and they both fell to the floor.
"Nice to meet you all." You replied as you waved to them all while still looking as confused as ever.
"So, Anon. Do you want to hang out?" Sunset asked you.
"Well..." You replied while deciding on what to say. "I'll give it some thought." You then walked away while waving to the girls. "See ya, girls."
As you walked away, Applejack looked at Pinkie with an angry look.
"Hey, we could have introduced ourselves just fine, Pinkie." Applejack said in an annoyed tone.
"I know. But, we don't have time since this story is about to wrap up." Pinkie replied.
"Story? What are you talking about?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh, nothing." Pinkie replied while toothily smiling very wide while making a squeeing sound.
You looked back at those weird girls as they all conversed with each other.
"What a bunch of weird girls. It's no wonder Sunset got along with them so well." You said to yourself. "But, they seem pretty nice, and Sunset is a lot nicer than usual. Maybe she really did change. I mean, no one seemed afraid of her at all. Though she probably didn't change without help, and I'm sure all those students resented her when she gave up her cruel ways." You then stopped walking as you thought more and more about Sunset's change in behavior. "I wonder if those girls did something to Sunset to take her down and give her a reality check? And would that mean they also managed to band all the students together to stand up to her?" Your eyes then went as that thought crossed your mind. "If that's true, then they accomplished what I've been trying to do this entire time!"
As that thought crossed your mind, you suddenly got very angry.
"Oh, damn it!" You shouted while stomping your foot in anger. "I wanted to lead that revolution! Son of a bitch! This damn school is so freaking crazy as hell! I'm the one who started this and it's my ass that got..."
You then felt a tap on your shoulder. You then turned around to see Pinkie Pie looking at you with a deadpan look while holding her phone in her hand. She then held her phone out to you.
"It's for you." Pinkie said to you.
You took the phone from Pinkie and she then walked away. You then held the phone up to your ear to see who was on the other end.
"Hello?" You greeted the person on the phone.
"SO, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN CONTAMINATING MY DAUGHTER's MIND WITH YOUR DIRTY MOUTH!!!" A woman on the phone screamed into your ear.
"What?" You replied with a freaked-out look while rubbing your ear in pain from the loud call.
"DON'T PLAY INNOCENT WITH ME, YOUNG MAN!!!" The woman screamed again into your ear. "I OUGHTA CALL THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THIS GARBAGE THAT MY DAUGHTER WATCHES AND HAVE YOU REMOVED FROM IT!!!
As you waited until the call was over, you had gotten even more bewildered about everything that you had seen ever since you transferred to this school.
"What the hell kind of town did I move to?" You whispered to yourself.
"THERE YOU GO AGAIN, YOU POOR EXCUSE OF A CARTOON!!!" The woman on the phone screamed again. "YOU KNOW, IT'S BAD ENOUGH THEY CREATED A SPIN-OFF SHOW WHERE THE CHARACTERS LOOK TOO SEXY FOR KIDS TO WATCH, AND NOW THE CHARACTERS ARE SWEARING IN IT TOO?! WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN TODAY'S WORLD?! BACK WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, WE HAD NO SWEARING AND AGE-APPROPRIATE CARTOON CHARACTER DESIGNS!!! AND THERE WERE BETTER ROLE MODELS WITH ACTUAL POSITIVE LESSONS TO TEACH CHILDREN!!! SO LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, YOUNG MAN!!! YOU AND THE REST OF THE SHOW BETTER TURN YOURSELVES AROUND SO THAT THE WORLD WILL HAVE BETTER..."
