The Sunsister and The Snowbrotherby Pony Of The GhettoChaptersPrologue - Thnks fr th MmrsCoffee Shop BluesMerry Christmas, Everyone!The Secret That You KeepPrologue - Thnks fr th Mmrs“Hey! I’m open!” “Come on! Take it!” “Oh no! I’m not gonna let you!” Three kids were kicking around a football on a sandy beach, enjoying the hot weather. Soon, one of the boys kicked the ball with all his might and it ended up flying to someone. “LADY WATCH OUT!” One of the boys screamed. Luckily, she leaped up and grabbed the ball. “Hey. YOu should be careful next time.” She spoke with an easy tone, her red and yellow hair swaying in the wind. She was dressed in a black tank top and blue jeans with a pair of black high tops. She had a rather amused look on her face as her cyan eyes stared at the three boys. “Sorry miss” The three boys apologised but she giggled in amusement. “Hey, don’t worry. Just be careful next time.” She said and she walked off, her hair moving in the wind. “Wow...she’s nice” One said “And pretty.” The other added. “And I think I saw her from somewhere.” The third commented as he tried to rack his memory on where he last saw her. In another location, a young boy was looking through some comics, seeing what they have when he heard the sound of someone. “AW MAN! Why is it so high up?!” The voice said. Turning around, the man saw a young child trying to reach a comic on the top shelf. Just as she was about to stomp in frustration, a hand went to the comic and plucked it off the shelf. Turning around, the girl saw a freckled face with shoulder length white hair and blue eyes as well as an overbite. He was dressed in a red T-shirt with a black Ace of spades on the front, blue jeans and white sneakers. “Here kid. Hope you enjoy it.” He said in an easy tone. “WOW! Thanks mister!” She squealed as she sprinted off to find her mother. The young man just shook in head in amusement. “Oh, to be young again…” He said before frowning. ‘Actually…maybe not.” He began remembering his childhood, specifically a moment where he was not at all happy. And the reason why he was here in the first place As soon as he left the building, he heard his phone ring. Answering it, he began to speak. “Hey there. Oh hey! Yeah, I’m on my way back. I’ll be there soon.” He said before hanging up. Soon, he left the shop, whistling a tune. He then made his way to a studio where he entered the living room, coloured a mix of crimson and orange on the walls as well as leather sofas and chairs. There was a large flat screen with a few video game consoles connected. There was also a coffee table that had a red and yellow sun plus a white top hat in the middle. On the walls were other photos of the two. Smiling and laughing. Enjoying their lives like they were going to die young. And in each photo, there was a forlorn female in the background. One was them on top of a podium, holding a trophy in their hands, smiling to the camera. In the background, two blondes were seething. ONe wearing a blue tank top crushed a soda can while the other in a stetson was gritting her teeth in frustration. Another was them posing in front of a camera. Sunset was wearing a tank under a leather jacket, black jeans and books, her face was touched with ebony eyeshadow and black lipstick. Lincoln wore classic greaser clothing and made finger guns to the camera s the two stood back to back. If one could squint, a blonde in a green dress and a purple-haired girl were crying, mascara leaking down their faces. Third was them at a rock concert...with them on stage. Sunset was shredding a guitar while Lincoln was banging the drums like there was no tomorrow. A girl in purple could be seen running away in utter sadness. The next was them at a circus. Sunset and Lincoln were performing amazing magic tricks, while a brown haired girl in a clown costume just looked at them with sadness. A pink-haired girl was also there but she just trudged off, her hair flattened. The fifth one was Sunset hugging Lincoln, dressed in a soccer uniform. He was with a bunch of other kids as they were celebrating a victory while holding a cub. Each one had medals around their necks. In the back, a rainbow haired girl and another one in a red jersey were being held back by guards, faces showing angry tears. Next was them at a horror convention with them dressed in gothic clothing. They were on stage singing while a young goth girl with hair covering her eyes, looked on with indifference. If one could pay attention, you could see a tear leak onto her cheek. Next were them at a zoo as they were playing with some of the animals there. It was clear they liked the two as they were licking them. A girl with long pink hair and another dressed in dirty overalls and a red cap was weeping at the sight. Next was them at a dance. Lincoln was wearing a smark tuxedo as he was dancing with some of the girls in dresses with Sunset looking with a proud look. You could also see a girl in pink and a tiara trying to reach out but Lincoln not noticing. Finally, was Sunset at a graduation ceremony dressed in a cap and gown and holding a diploma. Lincoln was hugging her waist while a young girl in green just saw the sight with gritted teeth and a slight build-up of tears. “Hey Sunset! I’m home!” He yelled as he soon heard the chill voice. “Here, Lincoln!” He then saw the beautiful red haired bombshell unpacking the shopping bags. Lincoln then came in to help her out. “Hey Sunsister.” He said hugging her “What’s up, Snowbrother?” She replied, returning the hug. Soon the two began to unpack and stock the kitchen. While that was happening, they began to talk about their day. “So some kids needed their ball back. They have skills on the court.” Sunset began. “And I met a kid who wanted one of my comics. She’s got good taste.” Lincol added. “So, you in the mood for stir fry?” “I was thinking ramen.” By the time the evening rolled by, both Lincoln and Sunset were in their pyjamas, eating ramen and watching a movie. Soon, they began to chat. “You know…I just realised the date.” Sunset said “Hmm?” Lincoln questioned, noodles halfway into his mouth. Lincoln then saw the date. July 9th, 2025. “Oh yeah. It’s been five years since we first met.” Lincoln and Sunset both were silent as memories flooded into them. “We were just two runaways, trying to escape our crap lives…” Sunset said quietly “Yeah. You were a target for a mob over something you didn’t do…” Lincoln added. “And you were kicked out and forced into a costume by your lunatic family over a silly superstition.” Sunset agreed. “Can’t believe how far we came,” Lincoln said as he laid back. “I know that my ‘friends’ and your ‘family’ are probably regretting everything to this day.” Sunset said with a bitter smile. “True. But if it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have met each other. I wouldn’t be a talented comic book artists. You wouldn’t be a damn model…” “And we both wouldn’t have been one of the greatest cover artists in the world.” Sunset finished for him. Sunset and Lincoln snuggled against each other. “We came a long way…” They said in synchronized happiness. Soon Sunset decided to say the question. “You remember how we met?” Lincoln’s smile also went bitter. “Like a catchy song.” So yeah. The guy in this picture that's me Lincoln Loud. Here is my new sister, Sunset Shimmer Hey Guys. What's up? YOu're wondering something right? Why am I with her? Where is the rest of your family? Well...All I can say is that...I am officially not a part of those superstitious suckers I can 'former family' You want to know what happened? Well, me and Sunset will show you as how we became The Sunsister and the Snowbrother Author's Note Just a christmas present. I have been wanting to get this idea out for quite some time! A crossover between Anon-a-Miss and No Such Luck! Coffee Shop BluesA younger Sunset burst into the café, hair, and clothes drenched from being in the rain. Her eyes were red and her face was wet, from a mix of salty tears and rainwater. Slung over her shoulders was a backpack and a small suitcase of her things as well as a guitar case. It had been a hell of a day for her and right now something sweet could really help her out. She approached the counter and spoke her order. “One large Mocha and a chocolate muffin.” She asked in a tired tone. The person behind the counter saw her things and rung up the till then went to prepare the order. Sunset looked slightly confused. “Um…aren’t you going to charge me?” She asked. “Nope. Runaways get meals free.” He explained. “Really?’ Sunset spoke in a shocked tone. She didn’t see that on the shop window. “Yep. I don’t announce that as I may get punks pretending to be runaways. You are the real deal.” He said as he started to froth the milk. “Wow. Thanks.” She said in gratitude. Soon, the barista spoke. “You know, you’re not the only one that is a runaway you know.” Sunset once again did a confused look. “What do you mean?” She asked. The BArista stopped making the drink and pointed to a table. When Sunset turned, she saw who it was and was shocked. It was an 11-year-old boy with drenched white hair, an orange raincoat, blue jeans and white sneakers. The kid was sipping a hot chocolate and looked rather miserable. “Poor kid has been here for the past five days. I know he’s a runaway as he’s got the miserable look only a runaway can have but he never told me.” Sunset was silent. There is no way an 11-year-old boy will be able to make it this far without anyone to help. WHat was he doing here? “Hey, lady. I have your order ready.” Sunset stopped looking and thanked the man for the order. She decided that the poor kid could use some company and went over to where he was. When she sat down, he saw who was at his table. “Can I help you?” He asked in a dead tone. “Just figured you could use some company.” She said with a kind smile. “Why?” He asked in skepticism She just shrugged. “Us runaways have to stick together.” She replied as she showed her bags. The young boy's eyes widened. Those were a lot of bags. “I’m Sunset Shimmer, by the way.” Sunset said as she held out a hand. “Lincoln Loud.” The boy replied, returning the handshake. “So how come you’re here in a place like this?” She asked. “I could ask the same to you.” Lincoln replied. Sunset just looked more somber. “Let’s say, I had to get away from some toxic people I thought were my friends. They were victims of gossip and blamed it on me.” She said. “I know how you feel. My family chased me out over some stupid superstition that I had the brilliant idea to roll with.” Lincoln replied. “Really?” “Yep.” The two sat in awkward silence. “So…wanna tell stories?” Lincoln asked. “I’ll go first.” Sunset said with a sigh as she recounted the events that led to her runaway. “That was one basic meeting.” Lincoln said. “What did you expect? One of us running from some thugs and us battling it out? This isn’t an action film you know.” Sunset said with a smirk. “Yeah. A hot drink is a good way for people to bond.” Lincoln agreed. Soon, the two began munching on their take out. “Still cannot believe you got thrown out over some stupid gossip,” Lincoln said. “Well, to be fair, I did tell you about my days as a bitch.” Sunset added as she looked back and remembered the story she told her new brother. And somewhere, ten hearts felt the same pain they had for years: A feeling of heartbreak. Author's Note Sorry for the wait and the short chapter. This is just to set the stage of their stories and you all know how it goes. Merry Christmas, Everyone!Sunset gripped her cup as she thought about what to say. The truth should work. “Well, truth be told…I wasn’t the greatest person in the world.” She began as the young boy looked on in attention. “How come? I mean, you’re sitting with a random kid right now over a hot drink.” He said. Sunset chuckled mirthlessly. “Well, you should’ve seen me back in the bad old days. I actually was raised by someone who took me in.’ she sighed as sad memories filled her head. ‘I was just a lonely orphan trying to get by.” “Oh.” Lincoln said awkwardly. He couldn’t relate to that. “Well, one day I tried to pocket this person. She caught me but instead of reporting me to the cops, she felt sorry for me. She also was able to recognise my potential and took me in.” She said with a smile. “Wow. So she was like a mother, huh?” Lincoln said taking a bite out of a muffin. “Yeah.’ She then sighed as her expression turned somber. ‘But because she was so high up, I was convinced that I could do things alone.” “Wow. Really?” Lincoln said. Sunset sighed again, bitterly remembering those days. “Yeah…it didn't help that she showed me what I thought was my future. That pretty much sealed it. I wanted to be her equal so I began pushing myself and kept my distance from everyone else. I was convinced I could do things alone and began showing off my superiority. Things pretty much boiled down between me and my teacher and well…I ran away.” Sunset said with a final whisper. “Seriously? You ran away?” Lincoln said in shock. “Yeah. Came here and enrolled in the school. Wasted three years of my life acting like the queen bee. Blackmailed, threatened and made everyone scared of me. Even broke up many friends as well so no one could oppose me.” “Wow. Sounds like something out of a school drama.” Lincoln remarked “Yeah…thought I was on top of the world. Then someone came by and knocked me off my pedestal. I sorta went on a rampage and wrecked the school as well.” She said in a vague tone. Like hell she was gonna say she turned into a literal demon! “Seriously?!” Lincoln exclaimed. “Yeah. She then left me in the care of five other girls to help me learn about friendship. Things were kind of frosty between me and them. No one wanted me to forget what I did.” Her mind wandered to the snarky comments and cold looks plus pranks. Everyone definitely refused to let her forget what she did. She smiled as she remembered another event. “Then we had the battle of the bands. I joined my friends and we won. My past was dead and buried. Everyone forgave for my past. Everything was hunky dory” She said. “Then why are you here?” Lincoln asked. Sunset frowned in a miserable manner. “That is a story in itself.” It was snowing in Canterlot. The snow covered the land as everyone got ready for the holiday. Dressed in winter garments, Sunset looked at the sky, sighing from the cold air. It was nippy as hell. “Hey Sunset!” a southern drawl spoke. TUrning around, she saw a tanned girl with freckles, a blonde ponytail and green eyes with a stetson on her head. “Hey, AJ.” She said with a smile and the two made their way to the school. “So excited for the Christmas holidays?” She said to the bacon haired girl but she didn’t answer. “What’s wrong?” She asked in concern. “Honestly Applejack? I’m not looking forward to it” She grumped out. “Why? You’re not a scrooge, are ya?” She asked. “Nah…Just. Thinking about the holidays just reminds me of back home in Equestria. I haven’t been home in a long time and well, the holidays are just a reminder that I am far away from my old home and family.” Applejack seemed to be understanding. “Ahh…Homesickness. Hey, don’t worry about it. You have a new family amongst us now. We are with us now, so don’t let that ruin your holiday spirit!” She said with a smile. Sunset returned a small one and the two soon made their way to class. Sunset took a sip as she remembered that little conversation. “Wow. This Applejack sounds pretty cool.” he said. “She was. Emphasis on the WAS.” She said in a slight bitter tone. “That sounded bitter.” Lincoln said in concern. “Trust me, kid. I have my reasons.” The two stayed quiet for a bit before Lincoln spoke. “So, what was next?” Lincoln asked. Author's Note Man, has it been a while. Yeah the chapter is short but honestly, that's all I got right now. I'm mainly gonna split the flashback in parts to see the events happen tenfold. The Secret That You KeepSunset was silent as she remembered what happened next. “The worst day of my life…Part 2.” Sunset was feeling rather uneasy right now. As soon as she entered the school, all eyes were on her. Every student were holding their phones as they glared at her with cold disdain. Sunset felt a shiver go down her spine. “What the hell is going on?” She asked herself. This was rather reminiscent of the Fall Formal aftermath, where everyone had a ton of anger and rage against her and now she was at the bottom. Sunset soon saw her friends by the lockers, who were not to pleased to see her. “Hey, girls. Anyone know what is going on?” She asked. “Sunset’ Rarity began ‘Do you have your phone on you?” he asked. “Yeah…why?” Sunset asked with a raised brow. “Nothing. Why don’t you take a look?” Applejack said, teeth gritted as she handed her phone to the girl, to which she took it. One look on the webpage and her eyes widened. “WHAT?!” On it were the pictures of the girls in a variety of outfits, like they were just picked from the closet. "How did she get our pictures?" Sunset cried as she was looking through Applejack's phone. "They're not our pictures Sunset," Rainbow Dash said coolly, causing Sunset to look up at her. "They're yours!" "All those pictures were taken by you!" Applejack added. Everyone was in the hall, watching the exchange. Some were even recording it. Sunset, took a step back at that. Were they seriously accusing her of this?! "Wait, but– I've had my phone all this time! How did she–" "Yeah, how did she!?" Applejack interrupted Shimmer as she went up to Shimmer's face with narrowed eyes and snatched her phone back from Sunset. "How did she know about my nickname? How did she get the pictures from your phone!" Applejack then pointed accusingly at Sunset, "It was you all along! You're Anon-a-Miss!" "We trusted you Sunset!" Rainbow Dash said in her anger tone. "We thought you were our friend!" "How could you do this? After all we've been through together!" Rarity said disappointingly, couldn't bring herself to look at Sunset. "No wait, you guys– I didn't do this!" Sunset cried desperately. "I could never hurt any of you!" "But you did!" Pinkie Pie accused her in an upset tone. "You must've just been pretending to be our friend, when all along you were just after our secrets! You– you secret stealer!" "No! NO! I don't know how she got this stuff, but it–it wasn't me!" Sunset pleaded to her friends who clearly did not believe her judging with their hands on their hips with the exception of Applejack who just crossed her arms and Fluttershy just standing there staring at Sunset. "I'm not this person!" "No you're not!" Fluttershy exclaimed angrily with tears spilling from her eyes. "You're not the person we thought you were! You're not our friend!" "No, I... I am! I promise!" Sunset cried. "This is it Sunset!" Applejack declared in her most hard tone Apple Bloom had ever heard as Applejack lowered her hat over her eyes. "You're not going to take advantage of us any more! I'm sorry, but you did this to us!" Applejack then turned away from Sunset. "Tell whatever secrets you want! But we don't have to listen!" With that, all of the remaining Rainbooms left Sunset as she fell to her knees as she wept, while the other students also left, leaving the poor girl alone in her misery. Lincoln looked shocked as he dropped his muffin. “Wow. Just…I have no words.” He said in a shocked tone. “Yeah. You’d think they would give me the benefit of the doubt. Instead, they assumed it was me without any proof.” She spoke. Lincoln was silent before he asked something. “May I see the webpage?” Sunset looked confused but handed him her phone, showing the Anon-a-Miss page. When Lincoln saw it, his eyes furrowed with confusion. “Question. Those ‘friends’ of yours.’ She looked at the boy, who looked back with a glare. ‘Did they get hit on the head with the moron stick?” “Huh?” “Because only a complete moron would believe this!” He exclaimed. “Seriously?! I may not know you all that much but, I know when someone is trying to spill secrets. And rule number one is: Don’t make it obvious! I mean, your silhouette and your colours?! Seriously?! If they were trying to frame you, then those girls must be the biggest boneheads on the dang planet! This looks like something done in 30 minutes!” Sunset was handed the phone back. ‘It really says something when an 11-year-old kid knows this was a frame job and five teens in high school have think it was the obvious one without proof.’ She thought to herself. “I’m guessing that it didn’t end there, huh?” Lincoln asked. Sunset frowned as the memories came “No.” “No, it did not…” Author's Note Merry Christmas...EVERYONE! Here is a Christmas gift to ya bronies! Here is the next chapter of the Sunsister and the Snowbrother. And yeah, the dialogue near the bottom had to be copied and pasted as let's be honest, it was EXTREMELY uncomfortable to read and make your own interpretation.
Prologue - Thnks fr th Mmrs“Hey! I’m open!” “Come on! Take it!” “Oh no! I’m not gonna let you!” Three kids were kicking around a football on a sandy beach, enjoying the hot weather.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!Sunset gripped her cup as she thought about what to say.

She also was able to recognise my potential and took me in.” She said with a smile. “Wow. So she was like a mother, huh?” Lincoln said taking a bite out of a muffin. “Yeah.’ She then sighed as her expression turned somber. ‘But because she was so high up, I was convinced that I could do things alone.” “Wow. Really?” Lincoln said. Sunset sighed again, bitterly remembering those days. “Yeah…it didn't help that she showed me what I thought was my future. That pretty much sealed it. I wanted to be her equal so I began pushing myself and kept my distance from everyone else. I was convinced I could do things alone and began showing off my superiority. Things pretty much boiled down between me and my teacher and well…I ran away.” Sunset said with a final whisper. “Seriously? You ran away?” Lincoln said in shock. “Yeah. Came here and enrolled in the school. Wasted three years of my life acting like the queen bee. Blackmailed, threatened and made everyone scared of me. Even broke up many friends as well so no one could oppose me.” “Wow. Sounds like something out of a school drama.” Lincoln remarked “Yeah…thought I was on top of the world. Then someone came by and knocked me off my pedestal. I sorta went on a rampage and wrecked the school as well.” She said in a vague tone. Like hell she was gonna say she turned into a literal demon! “Seriously?!” Lincoln exclaimed. “Yeah. She then left me in the care of five other girls to help me learn about friendship. Things were kind of frosty between me and them. No one wanted me to forget what I did.” Her mind wandered to the snarky comments and cold looks plus pranks. Everyone definitely refused to let her forget what she did. She smiled as she remembered another event. “Then we had the battle of the bands. I joined my friends and we won. My past was dead and buried. Everyone forgave for my past. Everything was hunky dory” She said. “Then why are you here?” Lincoln asked. Sunset frowned in a miserable manner. “That is a story in itself.” It was snowing in Canterlot. The snow covered the land as everyone got ready for the holiday. Dressed in winter garments, Sunset looked at the sky, sighing from the cold air. It was nippy as hell. “Hey Sunset!” a southern drawl spoke. TUrning around, she saw a tanned girl with freckles, a blonde ponytail and green eyes with a stetson on her head. “Hey, AJ.” She said with a smile and the two made their way to the school. “So excited for the Christmas holidays?” She said to the bacon haired girl but she didn’t answer. “What’s wrong?” She asked in concern. “Honestly Applejack? I’m not looking forward to it” She grumped out. “Why? You’re not a scrooge, are ya?” She asked. “Nah…Just. Thinking about the holidays just reminds me of back home in Equestria. I haven’t been home in a long time and well, the holidays are just a reminder that I am far away from my old home and family.” Applejack seemed to be understanding. “Ahh…Homesickness. Hey, don’t worry about it. You have a new family amongst us now. We are with us now, so don’t let that ruin your holiday spirit!” She said with a smile. Sunset returned a small one and the two soon made their way to class. Sunset took a sip as she remembered that little conversation. “Wow. This Applejack sounds pretty cool.” he said. “She was. Emphasis on the WAS.” She said in a slight bitter tone. “That sounded bitter.” Lincoln said in concern. “Trust me, kid. I have my reasons.” The two stayed quiet for a bit before Lincoln spoke. “So, what was next?” Lincoln asked. Author's Note Man, has it been a while. Yeah the chapter is short but honestly, that's all I got right now. I'm mainly gonna split the flashback in parts to see the events happen tenfold.
The Secret That You KeepSunset was silent as she remembered what happened next. “The worst day of my life…Part 2.” Sunset was feeling rather uneasy right now. As soon as she entered the school, all eyes were on her. Every student were holding their phones as they glared at her with cold disdain. Sunset felt a shiver go down her spine. “What the hell is going on?” She asked herself. This was rather reminiscent of the Fall Formal aftermath, where everyone had a ton of anger and rage against her and now she was at the bottom. Sunset soon saw her friends by the lockers, who were not to pleased to see her. “Hey, girls. Anyone know what is going on?” She asked. “Sunset’ Rarity began ‘Do you have your phone on you?” he asked. “Yeah…why?” Sunset asked with a raised brow. “Nothing. Why don’t you take a look?” Applejack said, teeth gritted as she handed her phone to the girl, to which she took it. One look on the webpage and her eyes widened. “WHAT?!” On it were the pictures of the girls in a variety of outfits, like they were just picked from the closet. "How did she get our pictures?" Sunset cried as she was looking through Applejack's phone. "They're not our pictures Sunset," Rainbow Dash said coolly, causing Sunset to look up at her. "They're yours!" "All those pictures were taken by you!" Applejack added. Everyone was in the hall, watching the exchange. Some were even recording it. Sunset, took a step back at that. Were they seriously accusing her of this?! "Wait, but– I've had my phone all this time! How did she–" "Yeah, how did she!?" Applejack interrupted Shimmer as she went up to Shimmer's face with narrowed eyes and snatched her phone back from Sunset. "How did she know about my nickname? How did she get the pictures from your phone!" Applejack then pointed accusingly at Sunset, "It was you all along! You're Anon-a-Miss!" "We trusted you Sunset!" Rainbow Dash said in her anger tone. "We thought you were our friend!" "How could you do this? After all we've been through together!" Rarity said disappointingly, couldn't bring herself to look at Sunset. "No wait, you guys– I didn't do this!" Sunset cried desperately. "I could never hurt any of you!" "But you did!" Pinkie Pie accused her in an upset tone. "You must've just been pretending to be our friend, when all along you were just after our secrets! You– you secret stealer!" "No! NO! I don't know how she got this stuff, but it–it wasn't me!" Sunset pleaded to her friends who clearly did not believe her judging with their hands on their hips with the exception of Applejack who just crossed her arms and Fluttershy just standing there staring at Sunset. "I'm not this person!" "No you're not!" Fluttershy exclaimed angrily with tears spilling from her eyes. "You're not the person we thought you were! You're not our friend!" "No, I... I am! I promise!" Sunset cried. "This is it Sunset!" Applejack declared in her most hard tone Apple Bloom had ever heard as Applejack lowered her hat over her eyes. "You're not going to take advantage of us any more! I'm sorry, but you did this to us!" Applejack then turned away from Sunset. "Tell whatever secrets you want! But we don't have to listen!" With that, all of the remaining Rainbooms left Sunset as she fell to her knees as she wept, while the other students also left, leaving the poor girl alone in her misery. Lincoln looked shocked as he dropped his muffin. “Wow. Just…I have no words.” He said in a shocked tone. “Yeah. You’d think they would give me the benefit of the doubt. Instead, they assumed it was me without any proof.” She spoke. Lincoln was silent before he asked something. “May I see the webpage?” Sunset looked confused but handed him her phone, showing the Anon-a-Miss page. When Lincoln saw it, his eyes furrowed with confusion. “Question. Those ‘friends’ of yours.’ She looked at the boy, who looked back with a glare. ‘Did they get hit on the head with the moron stick?” “Huh?” “Because only a complete moron would believe this!” He exclaimed. “Seriously?! I may not know you all that much but, I know when someone is trying to spill secrets. And rule number one is: Don’t make it obvious! I mean, your silhouette and your colours?! Seriously?! If they were trying to frame you, then those girls must be the biggest boneheads on the dang planet! This looks like something done in 30 minutes!” Sunset was handed the phone back. ‘It really says something when an 11-year-old kid knows this was a frame job and five teens in high school have think it was the obvious one without proof.’ She thought to herself. “I’m guessing that it didn’t end there, huh?” Lincoln asked. Sunset frowned as the memories came “No.” “No, it did not…” Author's Note Merry Christmas...EVERYONE! Here is a Christmas gift to ya bronies! Here is the next chapter of the Sunsister and the Snowbrother. And yeah, the dialogue near the bottom had to be copied and pasted as let's be honest, it was EXTREMELY uncomfortable to read and make your own interpretation.
