The Solution

After using the portal for two days, I realised that classes would resume tomorrow. This means I need to find a way to return to school in my normal 23-year-old body instead of my former 17-year-old one.

"Sunset, are you sure you don't want to stay in our world? Since you are now officially an alicorn, I could even claim that you are royalty," my mother said in an attempt to persuade me to remain in Equestria.

With a determined voice, I said to my mother, "Sorry, but I like the life I built for myself in the human world, and I'm not going to let some anonymous person try to ruin it."

With a sympathetic voice, Mom said to me, "Okay, I won't try to convince you any more; you're old enough to make your own decisions."

"But now that you're an adult in the human world, the reality on the other side has already ended. How would you spend the life you currently have?" Twilight told me sympathetically

"You're probably right about that, but even so, I want to at least clear my name and find out who Anon-a-miss is," I said to her, fully aware that an adult was not permitted to attend high school.

"I have an idea if you would like to hear it that is," Mom asked, and even though I was going to say yes because I had no ideas, it felt good that she was giving me an option.

I told her, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."

My mother said to me, "Your life as a teenager in the real world may be gone, but who said you had to play that role in particular? What about going back, though not as Sunset Shimmer, but Under a fake name and disguise?" As I gave it some thought, it seemed like a good idea because the entire school would still be out to get me if I went by my real name.

"That would be ideal, but won't Applejack be able to detect when I'm lying?" I asked, aware that Applejack could typically detect lies right away.

"No, because they no longer hold the elements of harmony seeing as betrayal is not a key component of being friends, also you are the person who chooses who holds them you could lie to the element of honesty anyhow they betrayed you even when you ahd clear evidence unlike how twilight was technically betrayed by me and her friends she had no evidence meaning after we all apologised and explained ourselves what their counterparts did was make excuses and disregard your evidence and for that, I will never Forgive them!" I could have sworn sparks were flying off a section of her mane as she fiercely told me.

Since Twilight was the only other person who had ever been in the human world, I said to her, "Okay, if we are going to do this, I need a new name and id card along with where I went to college."

"Could I recommend a disguised name?" Celestia enquired

"Yes" I replied, speculating as to what kind of name she had thought of.

She said to me, "Sunny skies sounds like a good name."

"Isn't that the disguise you use in this world?" I inquired, fully aware that it was a tactic adopted by my mother when she went out in public.

"Yes however if there is no one else in your world who has magic the Celestia there most likely wasn't able to disguise herself as any of my personal's," my mother replied.

"It was possible seeing as nightmare moon couldn't have happened there and the only similar thing is Halloween," I said.

I loved what Mom said and was now really irritated that I couldn't have my hair colour there. That's when I realised about the colour skin I would need. "Well, have fun having pink hair with cyan highlights for while then," Mom remarked, trying not to laugh.

"Mom what colour would my skin have to be," I inquired in the hopes that it wouldn't be too similar to my mother's hue. While I don't mind being white, I can't bear the idea of looking like a young Celestia with a cyan stripe running through my hair.

"Well I had one which was White and the other I used had a darker shade of your current coat," Mom gently said.

I told my mother, not letting her know that it was because I didn't want to seem like Celestia from the human world, "I'm going to go with the darker colour of my coat seeing as I would look too similar to her when she was younger."

With her horn glowing and her magic encircling me, Mom said, "Okay, I'll do the spell that hopefully lasts as long as I don't take it off myself."

2 minutes later

"Okay, everything is done. You can open your eyes now, Sunset, or should I call you Sunny now," my mother asked as I opened my eyes and saw her smiling smugly at me.

I inquired, eager to see what I looked like in my disguise, "Where's a mirror?"

Mom led the way to the next room and remarked, "Okay, there's one in the room next to this one."

Since everyone at the school wants my head and can't open their eyes to realise that it's not me behind Anonymous, I had to make sacrifices in order to have any kind of life in the human world. Once we were inside, I took a good look at myself and, to be honest, I looked good with these colours, but I still missed my original colour.-a-miss

"Sunset i have your new documents!" Twilight came into the room, shouted, and gave them to me.

"Thanks, twi," I murmured, letting her know that I was pleased she had obtained the paperwork.

Mom said to me as she teleported away, "I'm sorry, but I have been away from my royal duties for long enough. I must go and Sunset be safe and please remember you are not alone."

4 minutes later in the mirror room

"Well, here we are. Are you prepared to begin a new life?" Twilight questioned me with assurance.

She nodded, and I responded, "I'm more than ready. I'll contact you when I get back to my flat." That was the third time I started a new life as I looked in the mirror.

Author's Note

For clarification what celestia is referring to is the bond between sunset and the equestria girls bearers,when twilight acused chrysalis she had no evidence over then her own words while sunset had proof mutiple times but they didnt believe her, while the bearers did betray twilight they did it off the fact she had nothing but her own word to go off,sunset is the complete opposite with her having evidence and them still betrayingng her even with credibly evidence

The first Encounter

When I looked over my shoulder, I saw that I was taller than I had been. I used to be about 5.6 feet tall, but I felt like I was closer to 6 or 6.1 feet now. I didn't mind, but I honestly had no idea how much a change in height affected my ability to balance on my legs.

Okay, I thought as I started to walk towards my flat, I need to get back there and figure out what to do from there. However, seven minutes later, when I was about to pass the human version of Celestia, she came around the corner and put a hard on my shoulder. At first, I thought I had been caught, but what she said next surprised me: "One of your jacket buttons is undone." She smiled at me.

She was right, I looked down. With haste, I put it back on. As I extended my hand to greet her, I said, "Thank you for telling me, sunny skies and yours."

"Celestia Everfree but you can call me Celestia," she stated while shaking my hand. "are you new to town I know everyone here and I am quite sure I haven't met you yet," Warmly, she said.

"Yea, just moved here in fact. You can call me sunny if I'm calling you Celestia it is only fair." I questioned, knowing that the job I had before would probably not believe me if I told them I was sunset. "I need to ask, do you know where I could find a place to work around here?"

Though Luna was the consular officer, Celestia startled me by saying, "Well, I do have an open consular position at the school I run."

"I was just wondering what happened to the person who came before me, since schools usually have consular due to how important they are," I said, feigning ignorance of the fact that it had already been filled when I had left a few days before.

"You see my sister who is also the vice-Principal was the consular as well unfortunately some account run by a student exposed that she went to jail and that she was the gang member known as nightmare moon," I hugged her right away and said, "It's okay what happened in the past stay's in the past and if these students of yours can't understand that then they may need a lesson or two on forgiveness," as her voice cracked before she started crying. Celestia gave me a quick glance and a nod.

That's how we remained for two minutes before she continued. "Thank you and I know I shouldn't ask but how old are you since you look 18 and no offence 18 would be a bit young for a consular"

"I am 21 years old," I declared firmly.

She said, still a little shaken from her earlier breakdown, thinking I hadn't noticed before she walked away. "Yeah I thought you were probably older just had to make sure, come to my school tomorrow and we can do a possible interview, you can also meet my sister, Im afraid I must be off but thank you I couldn't keep all of it inside me until we meet again Sunny."

When I turned the corner, I considered what I needed to do tomorrow: first, get some clothes for my new size; second, go to Canterlot High and meet with Celestia for a proper interview; and third, if I do get accepted, I will have access to more areas to investigate. As I settled into bed, I realised it was later than I had thought and remembered I would have to get up earlier than usual to make sure I had everything. At least now I know she doesn't think I'm sunset because she would have probably accused me of being anon-a-miss despite having proof herself. I pondered this before I went to bed and fell asleep in a matter of minutes: "Fourth, make sure to get support from the other teachers to try and get forgiveness and acceptance to be done in classes, hopefully preventing any rash decisions by an angry student."

A talk with Mrs cake

My alarm went off at 7:47 a.m. when I finally woke up and stopped tossing and turning around. I instantly regretted waking up so early, but I needed to make sure I had everything figured out, I reasoned as I got up.

After walking for twenty-three minutes, I reached the mall. However, since I hadn't eaten anything the day before, I became really hungry. It dawned on me that the only restaurant that would be open at this early hour was Sugar Cube Corner.

I sat down at a table in Sugar Cube Corner and waited for a waitress after entering. When I noticed Mrs. Cake approaching me, I was somewhat perplexed until I realised that most of the cooking crew doesn't start until nine in the evening.

"Hi deary what can I get for you today?" Mrs. Cake inquired of me

"Could I just get a coffee and some cupcakes?" I was too weary and hungry to care later, even though I knew that eating cupcakes so early wouldn't be a smart idea.

"Ok that will be out soon deary and you wouldn't mind if I sat with you seeing as I like to get to know my customers, also since you are probably new to town as well," I answered Mrs. Cake, "Sure, I don't see a problem with that," as she sat down across from me. I knew that she did this with every client, but I also knew that I would likely be coming here more.

"So, darling, what's your name?" Mrs. Cake inquired, grinning at me.

I said, "Sunny skies, but you can just call me Sunny," before noticing that she had a sad expression on her face. Before I could ask her why, I was perplexed before she started talking again.

"You wouldn't be related to sunset shimmer would you now," I wondered why she asked, a hint of wrath hidden in her voice, until I realised that Pinkie was her niece.

I asked, feigning ignorance, "Who is this Sunset you speak of, I just moved here."

"Sorry, it's just that Sunset is a bully at the school where my niece attends. If you were related, I wanted to know if you could talk some sense into her." Her kind and compassionate expression returned. She acknowledged, which devastated me. I know that everyone at school believes I'm the one behind Anon-a-miss, but I had assumed that people outside of school would be able to discern that I was wrong.

"So what has this Sunset done exactly?" I inquired, attempting to gauge her degree of disbelief in me.

I decided to ask for proof that I was Anon-a-miss after she told me, regretfully, "Well, she was always a bully but something happened at school that made her more open and friendly even becoming friends with my niece and her group of friends but we were all wrong when an account named Anon-a-miss started sharing people's secrets."

"So there must be quite a lot of evidence that she is anon-a-miss if people believe it's her right?" When I posed an intriguing question, I saw that her expression changed to one that was even more indifferent than before.

"Well no there's been no evidence that's her other than secrets that people only shared with her" She acknowledged that she sounded unsure.

"So everyone's just going off accusations and no hard evidence other than I told her this secret and that's all?" I enquired as to whether she was aware of the photo I had taken at the sleepover that had been uploaded.

"Well there is one which is a picture of one of my niece's friends that only she had," She spoke with a little more assurance than before.

I stated quite clearly, "A picture which any smart enough hacker could get a hold of"

You claimed you didn't know her, so why would you care that you are even bringing this up?" With caution, Mrs. Cake said

I stated clearly and succinctly, "Mrs. Cake, the reason is that this girl could attend the school where I have an interview. While it may seem like I am defending her, this is not the case—if she hasn't done any of what you say she has, she is the victim in this whole ordeal, not the villain." Mrs. Cake appeared more unsure than she had in a long time.

"That's a good reason for wanting to know to be honest, so where do you have an interview at?"I tried not to think when Mrs. Cake questioned me, trying not to think about the account.

I said, finishing the last of my coffee, "I have a interview at Canterlot High for the recently opened consular position."

As I paid Mrs. Cake for breakfast, she only replied, "Well in that case, I wish you luck since that school's been at each other's throats due to the account even my niece is starting to break under the pressure and she's always happy."

She nodded and I continued on my trip to the mall. "Before I go, I what you to think more about the ever persons angle including sunsets, if you wouldn't mind," I asked.

Familiar faces

I had arrived at the mall with some new clothes, but as I was about to leave, I saw three people that I could hardly recognise: the first had dark purple and cyan hair, the second had light blue hair with dark blue stripes, and the third had orange hair with yellow stripes. These were the sirens, except they all looked horrifying, and Adagio in particular appeared thinner than the others.

"Do you three need any help?" I inquired Though I didn't entirely detest them, I did not enjoy them either. Sonata turned to face me, but she remained silent, glancing away from Aria until Adagio finally spoke.

She answered, "No thank you, we are fine," in a sobbing and breaking voice.

I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't quite believe that you three are fine."

"I told you we are fine!" With an angry expression in her eyes, she yelled at me, "Please just leave us alone."

"No," I said quite clearly as Sonata peered in between us and Adagio simply stared at me.

"I'll knock your teeth out if you don't leave me and my sisters alone," Aria remarked menacingly, Until then, I just sat down across from them and didn't speak.

Aria attempted to get up at that point, probably in an attempt to hit me, but before she fell to the ground, I hurried over and helped her back up.

"See you are not fine you can't even stand up without getting hurt," I replied.

Adagio started before Sonata spoke for the first time. "So what we said we don't want your help and that's"

"Help us please I beg you," Sonata spoke in a feeble and beseeching tone. Adagio abruptly ceased talking.

Aria exclaimed, "Sonata, what the hell?" before realising that Sonata was crying.

"Ok, can any of you walk?" I enquired, hoping that someone could

"I can," sonata declared.

"Ok sonata right?" She nodded when I pretended not to know their names. "Okay, so I can carry both of your sisters. I'm going to need you to carry my bag. Do you think you have enough strength for that?" I questioned. I inquired since I didn't want to make her condition worse.

While Aria and Adagio remained stunned, she remarked, "I think so, depending on how long we would be walking."

"Okay, here you go—it won't be a long way," I remarked, handing her my suitcase before picking up Aria and Adagio—whose extreme lightness made me queasy—and heading towards a homeless shelter.

Adagio angrily asked, "Where are you taking us? I demand to know."

"A place that can assist you in getting back on your feet," I said emphatically as I considered how they could be in such poor shape. We might not have discovered them following the Battle of the Bands, but I mistakenly believed they had a source of income or a place to stay. I forgot This is a common occurrence in today's world.

After we had arrived for five minutes, I heard someone yell, "Hey, what are you doing with those girls?" as I entered. A volunteer enquired

"I am bringing them to you found them at the nearby mall and they are hurt and underfed I think just please shelter them," I enquired as to whether this might be their only chance to start moving.

He led me to a room with six unoccupied beds and said, "Nevermind, set them down in here. This room is not being used currently." I sat them down separately before removing my luggage from the rack, and she sat down on one of the mattresses with Aria and Adagio having both sat up

"Thank you for your help what's your name?" Sonata remarked joyfully, but Adagio merely nodded and Aria let out a small groan.

Asking them as if we had never met before, "No problem and couldn't just leave you three there any way, my name is Sunny Skies what are your full names,"

She looked at Adagio and stated, "Well, as you know, I'm Sonata, Sonata Dusk to be exact."

She stated, her expression bland, "My name would be Adagio Dazzle," then turned to face Aria.

"Why should I tell her my name just because she helped us doesn't mean we have to be nice to her"Aria stated angrily

Sonata continued, "Her name is Aria Blaze and she likes this with every new person we meet," but Aria merely gave her an agitated look.

They all nodded in understanding as I said, "Ok, sorry to cut this short, but I have an interview in a few hours and I need to get these clothes back to my flat. I'll come check on you every couple of days to make sure you're getting better," before leaving.

The interview

I approached the school with composure, and as I stood in front of it, I saw that the majority of the pupils were divided into smaller groups, with the exception of the Rainbooms, who remained united despite adopting a more defensive stance than the other students.

I tapped Rarity's shoulder and said, "Excuse me. Would you mind showing me to the principal's office?" She turned around.

"Sure darling just follow me, ill be back after I show her where Celestia's office is," As she led me to Celestia's office, she told her pals the last portion of what had happened.

Curious about my purpose for being here, she asked, "So darling, what are you here for? I doubt you are a student seeing as you look more mutual than anyone here. My name is Rarity, by the way."

I heard Rarity grumble, so I responded, simply and concisely, "An astute observation, I am here to interview for the consular position my name is Sunny Skies or Miss Skies if I do get the job."

We paused in front of the door, and she remarked, "Well then, I hope you are a good one seeing as most of the school needs consulting at this point, anyway with my rambling on, here we are."

"It was nice to meet you Rarity and thank you for showing me where the office was any way you should probably get a move on your break will be over soon," I replied while nodding as she walked away.

As I knocked on Celestia's office door, I heard her yell, "Come in." When I opened the door, I noticed Celestia examining some files before turning to face me.

"Nice to see you again." Bright At first, "I thought you might have decided otherwise." As I was running late, she acknowledged

Sincerely, I apologised to her, saying, "I had some stuff to do and it took longer than I thought it would."

She motioned to the chair, which I sat in, and said, "It's fine, to be honest, but let's get on with this interview shall we?"

"So first things first I need some of your info for the System," she said.

I said, "Sure, just tell me what you need exactly," expecting for her to go on.

"Ok the things I need are a postcode, name, age and what you majored along with ID," stated her.

"Ok as you know, my name is Sunny Skies, I'm 21 years old, my postcode is CTL 34, and I majored in psychology at Whitetail University," I said, passing her my ID and a magically created degree from my time in Equestria.

Celestia said, "Okay, so tell me what you expect to deal with from this job."

Celestia raised an eyebrow, but not before I honestly said, "Anything that needs to be done to ensure the well-being of the student"

She said, "Anything even if it had to do with serious issues like suicidal thoughts and cutting of the wrist," which shocked me because I never imagined that she would bring up such delicate subjects in this conversation.

"Yes even if it had to do with the topics you just mentioned" I said.

"You seem like a good person but how can I be sure that you will put the student's wellbeing first, I have only known you for a day, and I need more than just you saying you will seeing as you might not know how to deal with such topics," She informed me, and although it astonished me, I could see her point of view because the school was even more split than before; even throughout my time in charge, I was never able to destroy the school to such an extent.

"Do you want me to tell you why I want a job like this?" I inquired, and Celestia simply nodded, saying, "Because I personally know more than anyone what they are going through." Celestia's expression softened as I spoke in a quiet voice, unwilling to tell her that I thought about killing myself.

"I'm sorry for asking, I have just been so stressed over this whole account ordeal that I have had troubled trusting people to look after the wellbeing of my students even if I know they can" It was acknowledged by her

"It's alright" I said somewhat understanding, "I understand that even while I was attempting to complete my schedule, people were talking about this account, and after hearing what it has done, it makes sense why they are."

She held up a hand, which I shook and said, "Well, I think that concludes the interview. While I do have reservations about you, I think the students would relate to you like they used to do to Luna."

"I promise not to disappoint," I assured her.

"Hopefully not now, I have a lot of paperwork to finish up here. I would give you a tour of the school, but I have to go back." She handed me the map, and as I was about to leave, she called out to me, "And when you can, I recommend going to Luna's office to get the student files." She then left to return to work, and as I closed the door behind me, I felt even more terrified of meeting Luna than I had before.

The Harsh Reality

My office was spacious and pleasant when I arrived. After I sat down, I recalled that Celestia had instructed me to obtain the student files from Luna, which seemed odd because I should have them all on the computer. Perhaps I was pondering the situation, I reasoned as I locked my new office door and headed towards Luna's office.

Though I did have control over the school, I never revealed people's secrets to the rest of the school—that always worked when I needed it to. Now, however, most students are less trusting of one another; while I do remember some people going to the consular office, it was only a small number of them, not as many as Rarity implied they are now, I thought before I found myself in front of Luna's office. I knocked on the door and heard someone get up, and a moment later Luna opened the door.

Luna said to me, "Oh so you are the new staff member I take it?"

"Yes my name is Sunny Skies and Celestia told me that I had to come to get some student files from you?" I mentioned that's when I saw Luna's expression turn bewildered.

"Wait if there are on my computer then why would I need to" I broke off our conversation when I realised Celestia had just tricked me so I could meet Luna.

"Well I'm guessing my Sister wants us to talk to each other so I can give you some names of students to check on first seeing as they no longer trust me," Used to Celestia acting in this way, Luna said regretfully as she attempted to hide the last section.

I explained, grateful that she was at least ready to assist me even if I was new. "I guess it would help me know what students I can expect to go to first or come to me depending on what happens first," I added.

Luna waved her hand in front of me as she said, "One of the Students who have been troubled for the past couple of years is one who everyone's even some of her teachers forget about is Wallflower Blush." I tried to remember hearing about or meeting this student, but I was unable to recall anything at all, which shocked me because if she had been coming here for years, how could I not have known about her before?

"Sorry zoned out for a minute there who else do I have to know about," When I asked, I saw that Luna had a sad expression on her face.

"Look I'm going, to be honest with you my normal list of students that wanted consulting were few and far between now however I could probably say any students name and they would need it, my list went from 7 to almost 242 in two weeks" She acknowledged how many people were impacted by the Anon-a-miss account, which shocked me.

"Looks like the student who said the entire school would need consulting wasn't joking,"I said, thinking Rarity was kidding, but it's clear now that she wasn't.

I did a second take when Luna stated, "Indeed, the only other time that this many students came to see me was when the old queen bee of the school was around." Maybe she was referring to the queen bee who was there before me. I knew, though, that for the last few of years, I was the sole queen bee.

"How many people did this queen bee affect exactly?" I asked, my expression neutral, to not ruins my mask I wanted to know how many people were harmed because I believed that I hurt a maximum of thirty.

"The old queen bee thought she hurt only 20 or so when in reality she hurt 157 people in total a couple of them even being teachers"She said, her face dejected, that at that precise moment, all that was on my mind was the number of people I had hurt. This got me to thinking about something worse: what if the reason I wasn't seeing people was that they might not be here anymore? That thought made me feel sick to my stomach. Had I been so blind to the people around me, as to ensure Luna didn't inquire as to why I wanted to know, I got up and prepared to leave.

I added, "I better get going from what you told me because I am going to have a lot of people to help," as I left, Luna only nodding. After I shut the door, I went to the bathroom and started throwing up, just from digesting what was revealed to me, till I finally broke down.

Coming to terms with the past

After an hour, I had finally recovered from my breakdown. But as I thought about how much harm I had caused, I realised that I was the one who was being selfish and uncaring of what these people had to go through during my reign of terror. They had good reason to not forgive me or even become my friends. I needed to make amends, but I wasn't sure how I was going to do that at this point, I thought, tears still streaming down my face.

At that point, I knew that the only way I could be of use was to carry out the task I had been assigned. Knowing that I had assisted some of them—at least the ones who were still alive—would at least allow me to find some closure.

I looked up at the wall clock, expecting it to be 2 pm, but it was actually 4 pm, which shocked me. Had I spent that much time in the restrooms, I wondered as I rounded a corridor. As I got up and made my way to my office, I noticed that most of the school was quiet, which surprised me since it should be lesson time.

It startled me that I didn't recognise the person waiting outside my office when I thought I knew everyone at Canterlot High School.

I welcomed her, saying, "Hello, what are you doing outside my office?" She nearly leaped out of her skin, but then calmed down.

"Your office? Where's Luna? We had an appointment set for today," she remarked, breaking my heart. I assumed Celestia would inform them during Tuesday's weekly assembly.

I told her, "I'm sorry for having to tell you this, but Luna can't be consular and Vice-Principal for personal reasons," trying not to mention Anon-a-miss. Seeing that she had tears in her eyes right away, I realised that she must be one of Luna's regulars due to the fact she had such a strong connection with her, she couldn't be consular any longer.

I hugged her, knowing that in order to do my job well, I would have to console a lot of people. It had been two minutes since she had started crying, and she was beginning to calm down. "What's your name?" I asked her. Speaking as softly as possible, as I carefully released the hug.

"My name's Wallflower blush," She continued, her voice shaking as she expressed to me how distraught she was about this sudden change.

"Ok it's nice to meet you Wallflower, my name is Sunny Skies but you can call me Sunny or Skies if it would make you feel more comfortable," I informed her. how was this the same girl Luna had told me about, the one I had not seen in years, despite how many yeara I came to CHS.

"Thanks, sunny, so I'm guessing by the fact you said it was your office you are the new consular to replace Luna," She declared something that crushed my heart: she believed that I would attempt to replace Luna.

She grumbled and looked up at me. "Hey don't be sad just because I'm the new consular doesn't mean I replaced Luna you can still go see her anytime, I could never replace someone you have a connection with," I said truthfully.

"Thank you for saying that it makes me feel better that I can still talk with Luna," she remarked with greater sincerity

In an attempt to get to know her better, I said, "Now how about we go in my office and get to know each other better." She only nodded slowly as I opened the door and motioned for her to have a seat.

I took a seat in my chair and turned to face Wallflower as she settled in. "Ask me some questions, and I'll ask you some after you know a bit more about me, how does that sound?" I said. She nodded as I spoke.

"Ok so how old are you, I'm just curious since you look young to be consular," I said.

I openly said, "I get that question a lot, and the answer is always the same though I may look 18 or 19 I'm 21."

"You do look young but some people just get good genetics I guess, where are you from?" She inquired

"I am from whitetail, now would it be ok if asked some questions?" She nodded in agreement, which made me happy.

"Ok so how old are you?"I inquired

"Next month, I will turn 16," she hesitantly remarked.

"The Big 16, I remember when I had mine good time, However this js about you not me, How long have you been attending Cantelot High?" I asked to find out if she had been here the entire time or if she was a transfer student that I had missed during my reign of terror.

"I've been going here since I turned 12," To be honest, I had no idea she had been here for so long; it just made me think how alone she must have felt all these years.

With a great deal of worry that people would probably walk all over her, I said, "Okay now I want to make it clear that if you have any problems at all with anyone threatening you or just being mean to you I want you to come to me or Luna whichever one you see first ok." She nodded and then giggled a little, asking, "Okay what's so funny?" She was laughing, so I asked her, a little baffled.

Celestia said the students would be able to relate to me due to the fact that she said, "You sound just like Luna during our first session," still giggling a little. This made me realise that Luna and I have more in common than I had previously thought, and it made me consider what I had said to Celestia that might have led her to believe that before I heard a phone notification.

"Sorry it's my parents they say I have to get home early cause people are coming around," I simply nodded in response to her regretful statement.

I said to her, "It's okay, I can set up another appointment for this Thursday. How does that sound?" She nodded before getting up and leaving.

Following her departure, I returned to pondering what Celestia had said about Luna and me being relatable. I realised that the only thing I had said that could have been true was that I had mentioned the students' well-being earlier in the meeting, and if she was discussing that, it worried me about Luna. The only other thing I could think of was suicidal thoughts, which implied that Luna had either thought the same thing or, worse, had attempted suicide. With that in mind, I hastily got up to see if Luna was still here.

A talk between colleagues

After searching for Luna for twenty minutes, I realised that I would have to talk to her another time. I started to head towards the exit when I noticed light coming from underneath Celestia's office door, which confused me. The older kids said that she had stayed late even before I was born, but since it was almost five o'clock in the evening, she should have gone home by now. As I opened the door, I heard faint sobbing, so instead of acting like my usual self and barging in, I gently knocked

"Who is it?" From the other side of the door, Celestia asked me.

"It's me Sunny, can I come in?" When I asked, I didn't hear back for two minutes.

"Sure come in," She informed me When you have an alternate version of the person you have lived with your entire life, you can see the cracks in the mask. "So did you need anything?" she asked me in a voice that sounded slightly sore. I opened the door and saw her sitting in her chair with a neutral face on, at least that's what most people would think.

She nodded in agreement. "Yeah, could I sit down before I ask you?" I asked. As I sat down, I saw that some of the stuff she had on her desk had water spots on it.

"Ok so tell me what did you need I have loads of work to catch up on?" She asked me quietly.

It was evident that Tia wasn't expecting me to call her that or even that she had a phoney face on when I ordered, "Take the mask off Tia," since I enjoyed calling her Tia rather than Celestia.

Her brows narrowed and her voice became a little less composed as she said, "How do you know that name?"

I told her, "Your sister first off, and second, I meant it when I said take the mask off," just before the mask broke and her expression turned into that of a broken woman.

Her voice cracked a little as she asked, "Why do you insist on this?"

I answered, lying, "Because I want to listen to you and find out what's troubling you so much anyone with a psychology degree can tell you are hurting," after years of living with the other self. Ultimately, she broke

She said, nodding at me, "As you know, this Anon-a-miss account has been causing problems. I wanted to try and shut it down, but in the process, it revealed something it shouldn't have," tears welling up in her eyes. "Sorry I can't talk about it more, but you can see it on the accounts webpage," she said, turning around.

"No," I firmly stated, and she spun around.

"What do you mean by no," she demanded.

"In other words, I prefer to hear directly from you rather than a webpage," I said having already made up my mind.

"I already said to go and read it on the webpage, hell why do you even want to hear it from me anyway!" I was shocked when she yelled because I hadn't heard Celestia cuss or shout with such force before.

"God damn it you stubborn women because this will eat away at you till you talk to someone about it, which you most likely won't unless someone talks to you first!" I said, fully aware that my Celestia had attempted to ignore her mental health in favour of Equestria. Before she could gather her thoughts, Celestia simply looked at me and opened her mouth.

"That's something brave to say to your boss on the first day even if it's true" She acknowledged "alright ill tell you but promise me it will never leave the coffins of this office understood" I responded by nodding.

"Ok to clear things up this information relates to Luna and I when we were teenagers, at school I was the queen bee with Good grades and Looks,While Luna had good grades she was still going though puberty,so many people teased her one day she had enough and turned full goth,I didnt question why she did it or even if she was bullied,I was oblivious to what my sister was going though and as a result she ended up with a bad crowd who called themselves the Nightmares with Luna adopting a nickname between them called Nightmare moon" She stated while waiting for me to take all the details in.

"She did something really dumb one day, she had snuck some alcohol from our father's stash and drank all of it by herself, when I found her she was a mess, however as I grabbed her wrist her sleeve fell down to reveal multiple cuts down her arm and the rest of her body after further examination," she said, finally breaking down in a heap on her desk. To say I was shocked is an understatement, but I had more pressing matters to think about, walked around the desk and started giving her a hug.

"It's not completely your fault you know that right," I replied.

"How isn't it I ignored it all because of the attention I was receiving from the rest of the school?!" She nearly fell off her chair and cried in a chaotic manner.

Helping her up, I said, "I'm not saying it's not your fault; what I mean is Luna could have come to you at any time and the bullies should of known better. Remember, it's in the past as it should be, don't let this stop you now after so long." Then, as I was assisting her to stand, I realised that this was exactly what I had been doing since I was a queen bee; I paid attention to no one except for those who were helpful to me, which made me feel sick once more, but I forced myself to hold it in, as I said my goodbye to Celestia I started walking towards my apartment Now knowing that even if I ignored someone they could still be hurt more then ever.

The Assembly

Tuesday had arrived. Following my discovery from the previous night, I had returned to my apartment and attempted to ignore the incident by falling asleep almost immediately. I was heading to Canterlot High when I made the decision to stop and grab a small treat from Sugar Cube Corner. While I was getting my coffee, Pinkie Pie set a cupcake in front of my face.

"Are you new to town, you have to be because I know everyone who lives here?" She remarked, 'It's still the same old hyper and excited Pinkie as ever before.' I thought it odd that she wasn't with the other rainbooms yesterday, but perhaps she was ill.

"Well, you're correct that I'm new to the area." I responded calmly, "I arrived yesterday; I'm surprised your aunt didn't tell you about me." At the same time, I saw Pinkie's hair fall out and she briefly displayed a look of sadness before brightening again.

"She was probably busy we have a couple of big orders coming up soon, so she most likely forgot when she was doing most of them," As I stood up to travel to Canterlot High, Pinkie stated cheerfully. I shook my head at her, seeing that she was staying the same. It was silent, especially when Pinkie was strolling next to me with her school bag.

"So you are a student at Canterlot High I take it," I replied.

"Oh yeah I've been going there for years now, it's the best, much better than Crystal prep," She responded strongly "If i had gone to Crystal Prep, I would have been really sas, because of their strict policies and great regard for their students, practically every Canterlot student despises Crystal Prep for that reason."

I told her, plainly happy, "Well, it looks like I will be talking to you a lot more in the coming year."

"You're going to Canterlot high as well, what job did you get there, tell me," She spoke so quickly that I was briefly unable to comprehend her.

I stated firmly and calmly, "I'm the new consular," just before I saw Pinkie's hair start to fall out a little.

Before I could say anything, she hurried to the school, which was growing closer. As soon as I entered the building, I headed towards the staff room, aware that the assembly was later in the day. "Oh," she murmured regretfully, which worried me because that wasn't the reaction I was imagining.

Luna welcomed me as soon as I walked in.

It's good to see you once more. Sunny Thank you for giving Tia comfort yesterday," she said in a low voice so as not to be overheard.

"I came to her office yesterday because I wanted to confront her about it sooner rather than later, and it was not a problem," I stated, keeping my real reason a secret.

Happily, Luna remarked, "Anyway, you ready for your grand reveal at the assembly later today?"

Luna laughed to herself as I sarcastically answered, "Yeah because having to get up on stage in front of hundreds of students is going to be exciting and not make me nervous in any way."

She waved and turned to go after saying, "Well, good thing I'm not the one starting it off. Anyway, I better get going who knows how much paperwork I have left to do."

The assembly was nearing the conclusion of the news part before moving on to staff changes, and it had been two hours since my chat with Luna.

"Now as most of you know my sister had a secret leaked out by the Anon-a-miss making most of the people both scared and angry with her, knowing this she has stepped down from the consular position the person filling it, I will call them on to the stage so they can tell you about themselves" I noticed numerous pupils whispering to one another the entire time Celestia was finishing before she mentioned for me to come on stage.

The whole hall fell silent as I approached the stage and I began to speak. "Hello Canterlot High, as Principal Celestia already told you, I am the one taking over the consular position. I'm sure you have many questions, and I will answer some of these now if you would like to ask me," I said. Before I could finish, I gestured to a pupil I knew as hoops who has his hand up.

"How old are you exactly?" That question was beginning to bother me.

"I am 21 years old," I said coolly, trying not to show my irritation, and I nodded to Applejack before seeing her hand was up.

"Where are you from?"With a southern accent, she enquired.

I said to her, "I'm from Whitetail," and then I gestured to Moondancer. "This will be the last question I answer before we officially end this assembly," I said to them.

Moondancer questioned me, "How will this affect the consular timetable for Luna's regulars?" before I recognised she had to be one of Luna's regulars.

"If that is all I bid all of you a due, the consular schedule will remain the same as Lunas was," I replied politely as I made my way to my office.

An Unexpected Regular

After thinking about what Moondancer had said, I sat down at my desk. I was so nervous about the assembly that I hadn't even looked through my schedule. When I logged into the computer, I saw that I only had one student for the day, which was good because it was a certain someone with rainbow hair, which both infuriated and perplexed me because I couldn't understand why Rainbow would be one of Luna's regulars. I panicked when I realised I had an appointment in less than five minutes, so I hurriedly arranged everything in my office and had just thirty seconds left when I heard someone knock on the door.

I yelled, "Come in," so they could hear me. I was expecting Rainbow Dash to open the door gently and close it neatly, but instead she startled me by doing so.

"May I sit down please?" She asked as I nodded, and I was worried because Rainbow never requested to sit on a chair in the past—not even when she was a member of our school team—she just did it without asking.

"So you already know my name but I don't know yours or anything about you how about we start with what you like and how old you are," I said with encouragement.

She stammered at the end and replied, "Well, my name is Rainbow Dash, but most people call me Dash or Rainbow. I'm 17 and like to play sports; I'm even on the school team."

I informed her, sensing something wasn't quite right. "That's good now that you know I'm Sunny Skies, but you can call me Sunny or Skies whichever you are more comfortable with now remember you can tell me anything I'm here to help," I said.

I nodded and gestured for her to continue, "You see we all think we know whose behind the account you probably heard of her," she said, stammering at different words. "Well as you have most likely been told an account has been going around and posting people's secrets along with other information people would like to remain private," she informed me just to make sure I understood.

I tried to hide my rage as I answered, "If you are referring to Sunset Shimmer then yes, I do know who you are on about," but as soon as I saw Rainbow had tears in her eyes, I knew something wasn't right.

I would have loved it right then, but Rainbow came first. I stood up and gave her a hug, and we hugged for a good three minutes. "I don't think it is her anymore," she murmured softly, tears in her eyes.

"Well, tell me why you don't think it's her and what changed your mind," I said, wanting to know what might have happened.

"When everything was posted, we all thought it was her at first, but she tried to disprove it with a tonne of evidence, which we all dismissed as phoney and made up. However, when I watched her run out of sugar cube corner, I began to have second thoughts, and after giving it some serious thought, I realised that it was probably because of what happened at the fall formal last year," she said. This made me happy and confused at the same time because the fall formal was a while ago.

To keep up my disguise, I said politely, "As you know Rainbow, I'm going to need you to tell me what happened since I wasn't there last year."

"It was before last year's fall formal when Sunset was still the queen bee before she joined us, she also ripped us apart and I'm gonna be honest we all told her we had forgiven her but deep down I knew I hadn't mainly because I showed no loyalty to any of my friends by not even asking them why they had quit on me without any reason before we found out Sunset was the one behind all that is after she started to redeem herself we began to let her into our lives little by little but we never truly did." Given her entire demeanour and character were based on loyalty, and since she crushed someone almost as much as I had the year before, I found it shocking how devastated Rainbow was as she spoke the most of it while stuttering repeatedly and with tears in her eyes.

"You and your friends should apologise to her after she is found," I told her, but before I knew it, she glanced up at me. "It's okay, you realise your mistake."

"You think the others listened to me, they think I'm just an idiot who has no clue what they are on about according to most of them anyway" Rainbow revealed something that broke my heart: the Rainbooms were destroying each other without my presence, which alarmed me, but I knew that I couldn't make them do anything they didn't want to.

"You are not an idiot, your friends are just on edge and are saying it so they don't have to accept your way and view because they would be devastated if they believed that for now just try and support your friends in any way you can," I said prior to our alarms sound

"Well looks like that's the end of our session, the next one is set for this Saturday if that's fine with you?" I inquired since she was just recovering.

"Thank you, Skies, you were a big help. I'll see you this Saturday," Rainbow said beamingly as she turned to leave. However, I was shocked to discover that the rainbooms hadn't even forgiven me after the fall formal, which made their mistrust more understandable. I was thinking this as I drifted into my mind to escape reality.

The Talk

Since I had only one appointment left, I decided to head to Sugar Cube Corner for a quick bite to eat. However, as I was leaving, I realised that I had promised to check in on the sirens, so I decided to get food later. As I was walking towards the shelter, I thought about Rainbow's confession before realising that something I should have noticed earlier—rainbow was another regular client of Luna's, but she never mentioned visiting the consulate during any of the times I was there, which made me

"You're the one who helped those girls, good to see you again and not a minute too soon," he remarked.

"Why what happened are they okay?!" I inquired in a panic, realising later that I sounded like a parent concerned about their kids. "Sorry about my reaction, continue," I said to him.

I realised I should have arrived sooner when he said, "It's fine and they are fine, they were starting to think you won't coming back which made all of them a bit down the one called Sonata being the most upset."

"I didn't mean for them to be that most up I'll go see them now, I'm guessing they are still in the same room right," I replied. He gave me a nod.

I realised there was a more exciting method to announce my presence as I was about to enter the room. I slammed the door open and yelled, "guess who's back to see you all." As I did so, I noticed all three of them leap up, and Sonata grinned while the others displayed a neutral expression.

As Sonata rushed to embrace me, she remarked, "You came back, I knew you would," and I gave her a hug in return.

I turned to face Aria and Adagio, who all looked better and were no longer as skinny as when I had first seen them. "Of course, what kind of person would I be if I didn't stick to my promises," I said, grinning. "I see all of you are doing better now unlike when I found you," I said, cheerfully and somewhat tearfully, at the end.

Aria began, "You I told you we didn't need help," but she continued, "but still, thank you for helping us"

Adagio just kept starring at me, and I was becoming irritated with her for doing it. I remarked, "You know it's rude to stare at someone," and it seemed to make her notice how long she had been doing it.

I did a second take when she responded, "Sorry, but I usually can tell what someone wants out of helping us, but you are a complete mystery."

"What are you trying to say? Helping people is my work, and I do this because I enjoy doing it for Christ's sake." After using Celestia for so long, I mentioned that using Christ felt strange, but I was unable to reveal that I was from Equestria.

"No that isn't it I could tell when people do stuff like this for us well on a less scale than you but that isn't just it," Adagio replied with conviction.

"Well you can have fun with that seeing as I will be coming here to see you more and more," I replied quietly.

Prior to hearing a recognisable yell from the door I had come through

"What are you three doing here" When I glanced around, Rainbow and Fluttershy were the only ones with neutral expressions on their faces, and Rarity was the one who had said it.

"They are here for the same reason as anyone else come here for, help and shelter" Calmly, I spoke to Rarity and the bamboos.

"Do you have any idea what they have done?" As the sirens moved to defend me behind me, Applejack yelled fiercely. I was taken aback. Were these girls unaware of the siren's condition, or did they not give a damn?

"No, Miss Apple I told her firmly before she became even more irate, "I don't know and I don't need to know because everyone deserves help when they need it, defying the idea that makes us the same as wild beasts."

With the exception of Pinkie and Rainbow, the others simply gazed at her in disbelief. "I think Miss Skies is right girls, I mean they look in no shape to do anything which just shows how bad life has been for them," Fluttershy stated sympathetically.

"Ok if that's what you think how about we hold a vote three of us vote that they deserve the help we will leave them be but if we don't think they do we'll force them out of here," Applejack uttered harsh words with anger. I just looked at her, wondering if she could really have someone removed. They all nodded and cast their votes in Applejack's hat.

They nodded, and I continued calmly, "I'll take them out and read them one by one to make sure there's no foul play."

"Ok one for leaving them be, another for leaving them be, one for the kick out another for the kick out and the final one is leave them be" Knowing that neither Rarity nor Applejack had voted to leave them alone, I said smugly as I gave Applejack back her cap.

Applejack nodded in agreement as Rarity questioned, "Rainbow, why would you vote with them? Don't you remember how much pain they caused."

"Because everyone deserves a second chance and you two were acting like Sunset used to before the autumn formal so snap out of your fantasy world and realise the world is in grey, not black and white!" Rainbow yelled at them, and before they all departed, they both gave Rainbow a nervous nod. Rainbow gave me a smile and then left the Sirens and me alone.

We all nodded in agreement as Sonata remarked, "Well, that was unexpected."

Aftermath

Rainbow Dash's Pov

After giving Sunny a smile, I realised I needed to talk some sense into Aj and Rares because I assumed they would just give Sunny the keys to learning about magic. As I opened the door and stepped outside, I was forcefully pushed to the ground, and I knew immediately who had done it based only on strength.

"Why did you side with Fluttershy and Pinkie we all know the only reason they didn't want us to beat the sirens up is that they are too cowardly to do it!" While the others gasped and Fluttershy was already crying, Applejack yelled at me.

"Aj what the actual hell has gotten into you, this is not the Aj I know that's for sure!" I yelled at her in return.

Confidently, "What are you talking about? I am just like I always am," she responded.

"No your not, the Aj I know doesn't look for a fight, the Aj I know doesn't shove one of her friends to the ground for no reason and you never pick on Pinkie and Fluttershy's hate for violence!" To draw our attention, Rarity coughed and I yelled angrily at her.

"While I do agree with Dash the only thing I want to know is why she voted against fighting the sirens" I merely stared at Rarity as she explained in a calm manner.

"Rarity, Aj are you telling me that you think that beating up the sirens who are much thinner and frail than at the battle of the bands and a homeless shelter of all places is going to be a good look on us?" I responded gently as Rarity's eyes widened and Aj removed her hat and gazed at the ground for a few moments.

"Well, that was a good reason," Rarity said in a monotone, and Aj inhaled deeply.

Applejack remarked with a grave expression on her face, "Okay, I'm sorry Rainbow. You are right, we shouldn't have done any of the stuff we did, but we were just so angry when we saw them."

The other person's eyebrows shot up as I said dejectedly, "It's okay at least we didn't mention anything about Magic," only to learn later that they had no idea what I was talking about. *You can't be this blind*, I thought to myself.

"What would be wrong with showing magic to the Sirens they have no power as such they have no way to absorb it?" Pinkie expressed confusion with my statement.

"Did you all forget that Sunny was in there or did you all forget in 10 minutes?" Before Fluttershy understood what I meant, I said before they all stared at me as if I had grown a second head.

Flutters expressed disbelief at how she nearly disclosed magic to her, saying, "Sunny doesn't know about the magic and we almost showed her right in front of her."

I said, "That was another reason, because if Sunny is moving here, then she doesn't know about any magic heck Principal Celestia even referred to the fall formal as a Gas explosion to cover up Sunset turning into a demon," only to have all of my pals glance at me in shock and rage. "What?" they exclaimed.

Applejack clenched her fist and uttered, "You just said Sunset in a positive tone like you were happy for her which you shouldn't be she's a traitor." Her voice was full of hatred.

"Well, maybe it's because she may not even be a traitor you thick-skulled idiot!" I let out a loud cry of frustration towards Aj.

"Observe Rainbow." No one else could pull this off with the talent that you can, even if I know that you and Sunset were great friends." Strangely enough, I was just wondering why we were friends right now.

"First off, we have no proof it was her aside from a profile picture and her past transgressions, which why do we paint her as someone who would do this. There's still one thing I need and that is Hard evidence she is Anon-a-miss, otherwise she's only a suspect to me in the same boat as every other person," I said forcefully and clearly, to which Rarity gasped and the others just stared in shock.

"Dashie even I want to believe it isn't Sunset but this is something she would do and last time we didn't think it was her we all stopped being friends," Before Flutter said anything further, I began to think that it was sunset because of the other's words, but Flutter said calmly. "You're probably just overthinking it again like you have done in the past," was the comment that I was making. "Overthinking" was a term that was used a lot to characterise me, but it wasn't accurate because I understood everything properly.

"look Fluttershy." I said while taking a deep breath, "I don't want to be mean, but I'm going to be blunt. Do you think I'm a dumbass?" Fluttershy glanced at me in disbelief at what I had said, while the other person just stared.

"Dashie, what do you me-" she began, but I interrupted her.

"You understand what I mean." I asked her sharply as her expression turned angry. "I've seen the way people look at me when I try to come up with a new idea or another explanation, so tell me honestly do you think I am a dumbass?".

"Very nice rainbow I do believe you're a dumbass since you frequently talk about stuff you don't know and blather on about irrelevant topics that don't affect you or us. It makes sense, Blitz. Before she could finish speaking, I Smacked her in the jaw, and Applejack grabbed me.

"You do not mention Blitz at all, you can talk bad about me, you can shout, curse and even hurt me for all I care!, but you do not bring him into this, you understand," Fluttershy said, looking at me with amazement and rage. "We are no longer friends you three, the only one of you I consider a friend is Pinkie at this stage I've had enough of you three, make all the dumb decisions you want but you're gonna do it without me," I screamed at her, tears welling up in my eyes as Applejack let me go and Fluttershy relished she took it too far. I said, my eyes welling with sorrow, as I began to rush back to my house.

The Revelation

Warning:involves sensitive topics

I was close to the Canterlot Cemetery, which I had to pass by every day on my way to and from my apartment, and it had been a few hours since I had left the Sirens to their own devices. However, this time, I heard crying from the other side of the cemetery wall, which led me to believe that someone was likely visiting a loved one who had passed away and that I shouldn't have been listening. After three seconds of walking, I heard someone loudly speaking on the other side.

"What can I do, I'm just as useless as always!" It didn't take long for me to recognise their hair from a distance because of its vibrant colours as I dashed to the Cemetery gate as soon as I noticed the voice was broken and the person shouting was recognisable.

When I came closer I saw that she was standing in front of three graves. Then, I saw that she was holding a metal object, which I instantly realised was a knife. At first, I didn't understand why she had it, but then I saw that she was pushing it close to her throat.

"Rainbow!, What were you thinking, Rainbow, why would you even do this?" I yelled, getting her to drop it briefly and turn around. As soon as she did, I swiftly grabbed the knife from her, hurting myself in the process. I asked her as she just gazed at me before crying and collapsing to the ground. I threw the knife aside and went to comfort her, and after a few minutes, she stopped crying.

"Rainbow, please look at me," I said, and she glanced back. "Promise me that you will never try that again," I pleaded with her, my teenage voice leaking through a tiny hole in my body.

She spoke, "I promise," straining to say it twice before her voice broke.

"I know this isn't the place to talk about stuff, how about you come back to mine and we can talk about things there does that sound good?" She nodded, I whispered, and then she staggered forward before fainting once more. At this point, I just decided to pick her up and carry her. She didn't protest or say anything, and as I walked back to my apartment, I considered why Rainbow was there. Since she had never mentioned losing a loved one while we were friends, I reasoned that this must be the reason she was a regular customer of Luna's.

"Rainbow do you think you can walk?" We were outside of my apartment when I asked, and she nodded. I had to get my key out of my bag to open the door, so I set her down and went to get it. I then opened the door and beckoned her inside.

"Sit down your my guest and be patient, get as comfortable as you want ok?" She merely nodded when I told her, which worried me because she wasn't that silent during our session.

When I asked her, "Now how about you tell me why you were going to do something so dangerous," I didn't get the answer I was hoping for.

"What else do I have to live for," Her words were so frigid that I became concerned for her mental and emotional health even more then before.

Then I said, "You have a lot of things to live for, one being your Sister, another being those around you, and finally your friends," she looked at me during the first two, but the last one made her look down at the floor, and I realised how big of an idiot I had been. The girls would have argued after Rainbow decided to leave the sirens be.

She only nodded slowly when I said, "I'm guessing based on your body language that something happened with your friends after you left me and the sirens."

"What happened?" I asked, reaching out to touch her.

"Some words and names were brought up which shouldn't of," She stated clearly, "I knew one of the names already."

I inquired, "I assume one of the names is the Sunset girl," and she nodded. At least I knew that Rainbow no longer thought I was a liar, but the others did.

"Were any other names mentioned?" I asked, and I saw that she became tense, indicating that someone close to Rainbow's heart had been mentioned. "You can tell me anything you say will not be mentioned outside this room without your explicit permission," I told her, and I saw that she relaxed and her shoulders went down a little.

"Ok you will be one of the only other people I tell this to, but I'm an orphan," She said which made my heart break, which explains why she has never brought up her family.

I comforted her, saying, "Oh Rainbow, I'm so sorry," before she carried on.

"I wasn't always an orphan I knew my parents their names were Windy Whistles Dash and Bow Hoof Dash," I nodded, she said, and motioned for her to go on.

"I also had an older brother called Blitz hoof Dash, he didn't want to be called that though and preferred Blitz," She began to cry more and more as she spoke, so I gave her a cup of water so she could take a break from telling me.

"One day my parents had gone out of the house to go shopping, on their way there however the car were they in crashed at 60 miles per hour, neither of them survived," Her voice cracking, she said, "Sturtting," so I told her to cease talking for another ten or so minutes until she calmed down.

"After I and Blitz were put into an orphanage, he always put my needs first and his second, I wish he hadn't I had come back from canterlot primary school it was the end at graduation, as I went to the orphanage I ran into Blitz room to tell him but I" she began to weep and asked her "what did you see Rainbow?"

She added, "He had a knife in his throat," before she finally broke down. I was horrified and thought back to all the times I had been cruel to Rainbow; it was understandable that she hadn't forgiven me since I ruined the people she thought of as family. Now, it happened again, but this time it was because of anon-a-miss.

A discovery

That day, after finding Rainbow, I got up and decided to make pancakes because I knew I wouldn't mess them up. As I was finishing them, I heard a few mumbles and turned to see Rainbow tossing and turning a little. She had spent the night with her, crying herself to sleep when I was hugging her after she told me what she saw.

I yelled, "Wakey,wakey, Rainbow breakfast is finished."

"Uh im up no need to be so loud Skies" I put down my plate and Rainbow's before starting to eat, and she joined me in eating it more crudely which didn't surprise me in the least. She murmured grumpily as she got up and walked over to the table.

As she completed her pancakes, I remarked to her, "So you're going to have to come with me to the school, so I can give a reason for you to be late."

"You don't have to do that for me and I don't think that would work that well seeing as I don't want anyone else to know about blitz and my parents" With tears gathering at the corners of her eyes, she spoke mournful.

She looked surprised but also happy as I explained, "I never said I was gonna tell them about your family." It was nice to see her smile like her old self, but I knew that wouldn't last. "You see, good thing about being consular is that if I say that the reason you're late has to do with me keeping you, They have to accept" I said calmly.

Ill go wait outside at my door so you can get changed" I told her as I exited my apartment and just looked over Canterlot, with the good thing being I lived in a fifth floor apartment as I stood there I thought about Rainbows situation, I was hoping inside that the orphanage she was at was good but there's a high chance of her getting kicked out when she turns 18 even now she could get kicked out, I decided to shelf that issue when I heard the door open and Rainbow came out in her signature outfit "ready to go?" She just gave a nod in response when I asked.

As we neared, I noticed that I hadn't even asked Rainbow what class she was in throughout this period of silence on the ride.

"Rainbow what class do you usually have now?" I questioned her

"Now I usually have history class with Mrs. heartswhinny, but I don't want to go to it" I would have spoken with her about the response later, she added as she paused before I realised she sized up like I was about to yell at her.

"Why do you not want to go?" I gently questioned her.

"The only reason I have good grades is because I'm naturally good at my main subjects, but History and a couple others have always been difficult mainly because I get distracted," she said, admitting that she just can't learn how most teachers teach. However, as I gave it some thought, I remembered something I read about in a few medical books that was similar to what Rainbow was describing.

I questioned Rainbow, "Have you ever seen a doctor for anything other than physical injuries?" She gave me a perplexed look for a few seconds.

She said, "Um, not that I can think of," which increased the likelihood that she possesses what I believe she possesses.

"Rainbow,do you have trouble concentrating or focusing when you are bored during lesson?" When I informed her that she was gently nodding her head, I realised that one of the other signs was impressiveness, and Rainbow was undoubtedly pretty impulsive.

"What have you relished something I haven't?" Rainbow boldly said, and although I was shocked to see how quickly she became hostile, I understood that if I was correct, it would be explained.

Rainbow glanced at me and I responded, "I think you have ADHD."

"What is ADHD?" She inquired

"ADHD is something that effects a persons behaviour and mind an example of this is lack of concentration and focus when you are bored and another symptom is impulsiveness which you have shown a bit, The only reason you wouldn't of know is because you never got tested for it when you were younger" I expressed my hope that she was going to understand all I had said. She glanced up at the sky, then turned back to face me and nodded.

As we went down the hallway, I knocked on the door and heard someone say, "Come in!" "Okay, let's get you to class for now so we can talk more about what to do with your ADHD later today," I remarked, before we went into her history room.

Heartswhinny glanced at me and said, "There you are, Rainbow. I was wondering where you were. If I may, I need to ask why she is late." I motioned for her to come out.

"Ok so there two reasons she's late first is the fact we had some consular business to do and the other reason is one which explains her lack of concentration and focus" I expressed to Mrs. Heartwhinney

"Ok I understand the first one can't be talked about unless Rainbow wants to anyway so what is the reason you think is why she never pays attention in class?" She inquired.

She just nodded as I replied, "It's because we recently found out that she most likely has ADHD as unlike most kids she never got tested all the symptoms line up."

I nodded and she returned to her lesson. "That would explain quite a bit. I'll let her off being late this one time given the circumstances, but next time she has no excuse," she remarked. I made the decision to walk to my office feeling optimistic that the day would go well and that there would be no issues.

Stress

I was mistaken to think that everything went well today, as I recently learned that The Rainbooms started a brawl in the school canteen. Though I had just passed Rainbow earlier, I had assumed that she was a part of it, indicating that another Rainbow had done something. Upon rounding the bend at the cantine doors, Principal Celestia halted me.

Celestia informed me, "If you are looking for the Rainbooms, they have been moved into a different room," which brought back fond memories for me.

"That's positive." I said before her face darkened, "I was worried that someone could have gotten really hurt, so what happened to the Student who tried to fight them?"

"That's the thing the student who fought the Rainbooms was one of their members," she remarked briefly

"But I saw Rainbow Dash earlier?" How did Rainbow get from one side of the school to the other? I pondered.

"You would be right seeing as it was pinkamena Diana pie who had fought the other Rainbooms," Celestia regretfully answered.

After a minute or two, I inquired, and to say that I was astonished to hear that Pinkie out of everyone was the one who had battled with the other Rainbooms would be an understatement.

"Where is she now I doubt you put her with the others?" She nodded as soon as I asked.

"Correct we sent her to your office seeing as this isn't the kind of thing Pinkie does especially to her friends" she added.

"All right, where are the Rainbooms?" They very likely know as much as Pinkie, and I need to see everything from every perspective." I asked

"They are in classroom 7, and do you want me to tell Pinkie that you will be with her after you ask the others what happened?" she asked, I nodded, and we headed off in separate directions..

I would have to put off my confused thoughts about why Pinkie would fight the other Rainbooms until I got to the classroom. I had heard someone say "come in" when I knocked on the door of classroom 7, and when I did, I realised that it was Cheerlie who was observing them. Rainbow had only punched one of them because of what they had said about her brother.

I turned to face her and noticed each Rainboom at their desk. "Cheerlie, you can go ahead and plan your lesson I will take over from here," I said before she nodded and left. While Fluttershy was reading a book, Applejack was looking directly at the board, while Rarity was simply glancing out the window.

I called out to them, "Hey, all eyes on me," and they all turned to face me. "Okay, now would someone please explain why the hell Pinkie and you three fought because I was under the impression you four were best friends with each other," I stated comfortably.

Applejack remarked, "We just disagreed, that's all," while the others remained quiet.

The others were probably taken aback because they weren't used to any of the teachers being so assertive and demanding aside from Luna, so I said, "I said to tell me not lie," with a little more vigour in my voice.

She spoke a little more formally than before, "I ain't lying, we had a disagreement and then it evolved into a fight."

"If that's the case what were you all disagreeing over?" I asked, coming down from my usual loudness.

"Well, there were more like two disagreements," Fluttershy quietly stated.

"Oh really ok, tell me what they were, Rarity," I said. She gave me a somewhat perplexed expression. "Yes, I did say you tell me Rarity because you haven't said anything yet, so tell me what you disagreed on," I questioned.

"Well, the first was about what we could do to bring Sunset into shut anon-a-miss down," she stated coolly, I wasn't angry; I just kept my mouth shut, but I was furious that they didn't realise it wasn't me still.

"However Pinkie said that until we found any evidence it is her we should leave her alone and not do anything hostile" Rarity spoke with a hint of bitterness that was evident to all.

"You fought over that!" I yelled, furious that something so trivial could cause them to fight.

"No, we didn't it was the other reason we had it the first just made it tenser" Rarity responded immediately.

"Ok, what was that then?" I asked her.

"Well you may not know but after we left the shelter yesterday we had a massive argument with Rainbow Dash and we decided to hold a vote on if she should stay a member of the rainbooms and our friend, we didn't get a chance to cause as soon as I suggested it Pinkie punched me in the gut!" She angrily shrieked for Pinkie to punch her there has to be something else, and I was simply shocked—were these girls usually this cold?—when I heard the classroom door open and Luna enter. This increased the Rainbooms' level of anxiety, and I was just relieved to be able to go.

"Luna, may I ask you a brief question? I remarked, barely able to contain my rage.

"Yes, what is it?" she answered.

She only nodded as I left the classroom, cursing myself for believing nothing bad would happen today. "Please can you take over this little interview because I believe if I keep asking them questions I will go berserk," I begged her, gritting my teeth before she nodded at me and I left the Classroom.

A magician conflicted

After giving Pinkie her punishment—a week and a half of detention plus a few homework assignments—I had just finished giving Rarity and Applejack the same because new witnesses claimed that after Pinkie had punched Rarity, she and Applejack had teamed up to get her, which is why it was a response and not one that would help them. Today, though, none of them received anything because it would go into effect tomorrow. I looked at my schedule and saw that I had an appointment with a student named Trixie Lulumoon Moondrop, and I thought immediately of Trixie. Despite the fact that it is her name, the last part confused me: Trixie's last name is Moondrop, not Lulumoon. I didn't know this before, even when I was in control of the school, so I guess I'll have to ask her. Luna would be the only other person who would know, and she left early for a personal reason that only Celestia knows, but that isn't my business. It's time to find out what Trixie's problems are.

I was taken aback to discover Trixie inside my office when I opened the door. Luna is the only person who has a spare key, but she hasn't been at the school for an hour. I had locked it less than ten minutes ago.

Trixie replied, "The great and powerful Trixie was wondering when you would show up," in her typical arrogant voice that she has used for years.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting however I must ask how did you even get into my office I and Luna are the only one with Keys for it, not even Celestia has one," Confused as to how she got in, I asked

I closed the door and then locked it to make sure no other teachers or students walked in and heard anything they shouldn't have. "The Great and Powerful Trixie never reveals her secrets," Trixie remarked, enjoying the attention.

"So what brings you to my office today or is this just a weekly check-up you and Luna did?" I questioned her when I sat down. When I said Luna, I saw her eyes slightly widen before they returned to normal, which led me to realise that there was another Luna-related issue going on.

"Well, since you have to be aware of This is how the great and strong Trixie and M-I mean Luna meet every few weeks to talk about various topics and other issues." Trixie stated as usual, smug and happy, but it was pausing mid-sentence before mentioning Luna, which suspicious me.

Calmly, I added, "Now, from what I have seen and heard, most people think that your full name is Trixie Lulumoon correct," but I soon noticed Trixie's demeanour abruptly shifted from casual to serious in less than a second.

Trixie said, "What do you mean that's what they think my full name is," and I was shocked to see that she hadn't used the third person to address herself.

"Trixie It is rather evident in your school records that your name is Trixie Lulumoon Moondrop, am I correct?, Trixie, I'm not going to question what I found because this is meant to be about you, so anything bothering you lately?" I asked her as I searched for Moondrop in the school system, now wanting to see what her parents looked like and their names until I froze when I saw who it said had the name moondrop as their last name. She looked around, sweating.

"Well you see one of the people who I considered an arch-nemesis was accused of doing so many things wrong, but I don't see why they would they Had better means of doing when by that they are accused of using, especially this person, I don't know to think it's her or just a person seeking revenge using it," She said, shocking me by actually having tears in her eyes. I always assumed that because of how resentful we were of one another, even after the autumn formal, she would never feel sorry for me or support me, but she is divided.

"I can't tell you what answer is correct that question is all up to you and your heart, I will not let my judgement affect your decision in this seeing as it would be unfair for me to give my opinion on this situation," I stated with a sorrowful face.

"I'll have to think about it, but you have helped if only a bit something better than nothing, thank you Sunny skies that helped, anyway The Great and Powerful Trixie must be off its getting late until we meet again in the future my friend," If the information about Trixie's mother is accurate, then an certain individual will need to talk to her when they come back from whatever reason they have, I groaned and placed my head on the desk as Trixie left.

Investigation

After talking to Trixie on Wednesday, it had been a few days, and now it was the weekend. I had checked in on Rainbow, Pinkie, the Dazzlings, and Wallflower. Today, I was going to hang out with my principal and vice-principal, who are also my mother and aunt in a different capacity. It's awkward, but I accepted their invitation and had some questions for them anyhow. As I kept thinking about how strange and awkward I would feel today, I enjoyed the fact that it was almost time to meet them at Joe's Doughnut Shop.

As I left my flat and headed towards Joe's, I considered the questions I would ask. The situation with Trixie was one of them. Another was how Luna and Celestia are sisters in this world, but they have different last names, which would make sense if one of them had gotten married. The biggest mystery I couldn't figure out was why neither of them had the same last name—Principal Celestia's was Everfree, while Luna's was the same as a specific student.

I stopped my thinking as soon as I walked into Joe's doughnut store.

As usual, Joe exclaimed with warmth and enthusiasm, "Well, look what the cat dragged if it isn't one of my new favourite customers, Sunny Skies."

"Oh you know me so well Joe for someone who has only known me for a week or so," I laughed.

"Well, it's what I do best, seeing as the more I know my customers the better chance I have for me predicting their order speaking of which, I'm guessing your orders gonna be a couple of chocolate doughnuts like last time?" He made a prediction, which both pleased and irritated me due to his skill, even though I realised it too late—it had been nearly five days since I had entered.

I asked him inquisitively, "How do you manage to remember every person's order who comes in here," but all he could do was laugh.

"That my dear Sunny is a secret I will take to my grave, are you meeting anyone by chance?" It was becoming absurd, so he inquired how he could know that.

"I'm seriously considering that you have some type of mind-read powers or something," I replied in disbelief

"Well Sunny, the only reason I know is cause Tia and Lulu already told me plus there over by the far booth waving at you, Anyway, here's your order, hope you enjoy and until next time," he added with a smug tone in his voice. As I took my food and moved to the booth with them, they had sat on one side so I would be opposite both of them. I muttered, unhappy that he hadn't told me they were here.

After welcoming me and noticing that Luna thought you handled the Rainbooms situation better than she could at the time, Celestia said, "Sunny, I'm so glad you could make it. Me and Luna were just talking about how good you are as both a consular and punisher." Luna nodded in agreement.

I laughed a little and added, "Oh, you give me too much credit and to be honest, we both know Luna loves giving out punishments for the students," to Luna's annoyance, to which she responded with a few groans and Celestia's small laugh.

Luna pouted and stated, "I won't deny or confirm what you said, but this is not the place to discuss it."

"Anyway, as I have you both here, I did have some questions for you two," I added.

Luna asked, "Okay, so what student or teacher do you want to know about?" Celestia simply nodded. I was shocked, and I relished the fact that they probably believed I meant someone else.

"Oh no you got it wrong. What I want to know is why the two of you have different last names along with Luna having the same as a certain student who puts on magic shows." I Asked then saw both of them had become pale and were silent.

"You see, the reason I have a different name is that I'm married," Luna stated, blushing slightly. Although I had previously assumed as much, I felt that this was an understatement, and the actual question was: Who is Luna's other half?

"Well first things first congratulations, I might be a bit late but it's nice to know you have someone other than Celestia and me to turn to along with your other friends, of course, second whos the lucky man who captured your heart," I replied as I returned to my joyful and fun self.

"Well he's a commander in the army, his name is Sombra," She said before I almost spat my drink out, but I wasn't surprised because I knew that multiple universes existed, so it wasn't that unbelievable.

"So now that I know that why does Trixie have the same last name as you?" I wanted to be sure, even though I knew the answer when I asked.

"Well, that's because Trixie is my niece and Luna's daughter," Celestia remarked joyfully, a hint of pride showing.

"Oh that's why she almost said mum when I asked her about the relationship between her and Luna," I replied quietly.

"Sunny, can you promise us that you will not tell any of the students or other teachers about this?" Luna urged me to understand why, since people would just think that due of their relationship, Luna and Celestia would be forgiving of her.

"Talk about what to the rest of the school?" I asked while pretending to be clueless.

"Thank you, Sunny," Celestia grinned and replied with pleasure.

I smiled and answered, "No problem, I mean, what are friends for," though I was still curious as to why Celestia's last name is Everfree. It can wait until later.

A Chat with Family part 1

It was Sunday now. Yesterday had been both exciting and shocking because it seemed as though Twilight was correct when she said that the worlds were mostly parlours and that the only things that wouldn't have happened are magic-related incidents. This explains why there isn't a Sunset Shimmer in this world since I was born through magic, with Celestia using her DNA and magic to become pregnant with me. In this world, that just wasn't possible, meaning that if Trixie existed in both worlds, her parents were the same, meaning I would have a cousin. Yet, on the occasions that I have returned to Equestria, Princess Trixie was never mentioned, which implied that either she was dead or that she had vanished with the Crystal Empire. Ah, too much to consider, I might as well just ask

I took a seat at my desk, opened my journal, which I had concealed in a hidden compartment because I knew that if anyone from CHS saw it, they would question me a lot, and started writing.

To my wonderful friend Twilight Sparkle

I have discovered something that will either make Auntie Luna happy or unhappy, but it would provide her with closure on a problem that has likely been bothering her for a while, so I was wondering if I could come and meet the other Royals in my family along with the Bearers.

Regards, your pal Sunset Shimmer

After writing, I enjoyed that I had written in a more professional manner than normal due to the numerous notes and letters I had to send home regarding detentions before I had a chance to consider it further. The book shone for a continuous two minutes, and then a lengthy response showed up.

Naturally, you are welcome to come visit, primarily because I know Luna is free during the day and will be happy to see you. As for Luna, I'm not sure what you mean by something that has been bothering her mind, but I won't say anything because you probably want to tell us at the same time. Unfortunately, Cadence is busy dealing with the Empire right now because some reformed Changelings and Dragons want to settle there, but the bearers would want to meet you because they are all angry with their counterparts except for Rainbow and Pinkie, who were thrilled to hear that you believe you are innocent, despite the fact that you haven't informed them that Sunny and Sunset are the same. I apologise for the rambling, but stop by.

Princess Twilight Sparkle, your friend

Okay, even when writing, take note of Twilights rambles.

I had arrived at CHS after an hour. The good news was that I could pass through without encountering any issues because I couldn't see anyone. As I walked through, I thought, "This is it."

I briefly staggered on my hind legs before lowering myself back to my all fours, enjoying the strange appearance.

I heard the door open as I turned to glance around.
Prior to a recognisable voice speaking

"Sunset right on time like always the others are in the grand hall follow me unless you wanna get lost," replied Twilight.

I said, "Thanks for showing me the way, Twi. I didn't know you could joke," and she gave me a perplexed look as she continued.

"Sunset, I wasn't kidding. The only reason I know my way around here, along with my buddies, is that your mother got lost here five times before she became accustomed to it." Her words, Honestly, I just gawked Mother never usually got lost, but I knew Twilight doesn't joke so it must be true, made me realise how absurd it felt to be nearly as tall as Luna and to get a little closer to Twilight.

"Ok, here we are you ready to meet your Aunt g and the bearers?" With enthusiasm, she questioned I merely nodded.

She opened the door, and I saw that everyone was seated at the table, chatting, before they all turned to face me.

"Sweetie so nice you could join us now why I would love to just crush you with love I have a feeling you discovered something that could affect one of us?" While the others laughed and Luna attempted to at least conceal hers, she spoke upbeat

"Mom I thought you were going to embarrass me after we talked!!"I screamed, irritated that she chose to do it in public.

She smiled at me and added, "Sorry, My Little Sunshine, but it's in a mother's instinct to tease their child as soon as they can."

As I waited for her response, I responded, "Well, you are right like always that it has something to do with one of you specifically Auntie Luna."

"Congrats!" Luna was excited to be called Auntie by me; "Wait did thou mention that it concerns me?" Auntie said as I stood there bewildered.

Mom calmly said, "Sister, you're speaking old Equestrian again, which is probably why she looks confused," and Luna looked surprised.

"Well that is strange it been a while since I fell into my old way of speaking must have slipped through, strange anyway Tell us what matter is it that involves me, dear niece," After getting better, I was apprehensive to ask, but I felt I had to so Luna could have closure, according to Auntie.

"Auntie do or have you ever had a Daughter," I spoke hesitantly Though everyone's eyes widened to the maximum, but that wasn't what worried me. Auntie remained silent for a while before speaking again, trembling a little before She burst into a small statement.

"Ho-w d-o you kno-w t-hat"

A Chat with Family part 2

Before a single word entered the Equestrian citizen's daily routine, the only sound in the castle of friendship was quiet.

"WHAT!" would have been Mom's cry for miles throughout Equestria, which made me discover Mom was unaware that she had a biological niece.

I turned to see the mane six reacting differently to Celestia; Twilight was having a mini-panic attack, probably from the stress of the situation; Rarity had passed out; Pinkie's jaw was lowered, engulfing Rainbow; and lastly, poor Fluttershy was cowering beneath the table. I wanted to assist each of them, but Auntie Luna was probably in more need of my assistance—speaking of Auntie, she was I had a mini-meltdown and hurried over to hug her, and Celestia did the same.

After thirty minutes, no one dared to talk or ask any questions, even though Luna had stopped crying and most of the Mane Six had recovered from their astonishment. I knew that at that point I would have to start

"Auntie?" I spoke in a quiet voice. Auntie gave me a look.

"Yes, sweet Nie-ce," Auntie responded while attempting to put on a mask; however, unlike Mom, Auntie was unable to do so.

I said honestly, thinking that it would be better to ask Auntie about it. "I know that this must be hard for you to talk about, but I have a question before I ask anything about what I said earlier,"

Auntie answered, "Go ahead, dear Niece," having now put on her mask, which I knew would break when I questioned her about Him.

"Was Sombra always a Villan or was he something more important to you and Mom before he became one?" I said quietly and weakly, realising that I was essentially speaking about my uncle. Immediately, I saw that Luna and Celestia had sorrowful expressions on their faces, with Luna appearing more distraught than the carriers, who were probably feeling left out.

"To answer your question dear Niece, yes Sombra used to be a Nice caring stallion, he was brothers with a certain bearded Unicorn" Twilight was gasping "he was one of the advisors to Princess Mi Amore Cadenza the last Princess of the Crystal Empire before cadence, he always had a thirst for knowledge and loved to learn new magic and even make spells of his own he was quite the Stallion to know and be friends with, during my first trip to the empire I was greeted by Sombra and we just kind of what is the word the younger generation uses are that it 'hit it off so to speak which eventually led to..."Now that Auntie had stopped talking, her mask was splitting rather than breaking.

"Led to what Princess Luna?" While Twilight requested in an innocent manner, Rarity appeared to have witnessed Twilight beg for death, which, to be fair, I couldn't blame her for.

Auntie remarked, "We fell in love," with her mask cracking once more. The bearers all gasped, with the exception of Rarity, who I assumed saw the signs regarding the way Auntie talked about him. "We eventually got married in secret of course seeing as the public would love to tore into me back then," Luna said sadly. I also noticed that Celestia had been quiet before relishing her mask was up, suggesting that she was likely in excruciating pain right now hearing about it.

Luna's voice cracked as she said, "A few months into our vacation, I had begun showing signs of pregnancy. After we had married, Sombra and I decided to leave Equestria for a year to relax and settle down so I could escape the hate that Equestria had for me." Celestia's eyes widened instantly.

"Why didn't you tell me I could have helped or done something?!" Celestia became enraged when she realised Luna hadn't told her.

Luna reluctantly stated, "I didn't want you to worry sister, not to mention I didn't exactly trust you back then," and Celestia promptly became Quiet once more.

Luna uttered the words, "When I did give birth, Sombra was ecstatic, as was I," somewhat joyfully.

"To not be impolite, Your Highness." Fluttershy softly and sheepishly said, "What gender were they and what colours were their coat and mane, if you don't mind telling us that is," while Luna simply grinned.

"It's fine lady Fluttershy, they were a filly which I and Sombra were hoping for, even if there were a colt it wouldn't change how happy we felt or how we would treat them, they had a mane similar to mine in terms of shape, but the colour was Cyan with the coat darkish green which surprised us greatly seeing as neither I nor Sombra had Green coat or cyan mane before Sombra said that his mother had a Cyan mane which would explain it, I was thinking about how the coat could be Green before I remembered that someone in mine and Celestia family had a green coat being our aunt," Luna replied cheerfully and slowly. sadness tookover "me and Sombra decided to go to one of our friends who was a doctor to get our little star a check-up and what h-e told us was something which I wouldn't wish for any mother to hear about their child," Luna stated that she had started removing her mask entirely.

Concerned, Celestia inquired, "What is it, sister, what did the doctor say?" before taking off her mask as well. The bearers all had worrisome expressions on their faces.

"H-e said she wo-uldnt su-rvi-ve the year"

The true Reason for Sombras fall

With the exception of Luna crying while Celestia covered her, everyone remained silent. After a few minutes, everyone else joined in, and I was able to get over my disbelief and run up to hug my aunt.

Auntie Luna eventually stopped crying after three minutes. "I'm sorry for not being able to tell you all this without breaking down," she said. While I and everyone else were merely shocked, Auntie added in a weak, low voice, "Will Luna please apologise?" Although none of us had ever learned that someone we regarded as family only had a year to live, I think everyone understood that Luna's response was expected and that we should have been more worried if she hadn't.

I remarked quietly, "Auntie, why are you apologising for that?" and, seeing that Auntie was perplexed, I chose to go on. I firmly said, making the others gasp, "You don't need to apologise for anything. Your reaction is better than any of us would have when talking about such a sensitive topic and I'm pretty sure if Celestia found out one day that I only had a year to live, she would do more than have a breakdown." Mom and Auntie both smiled.

"Thank you, dear niece, you have made us realise what a fool I was being for thinking I would albe to apologise for such a sensitive matter," Auntie mentioned feeling happier.

"Dusk how can you be so cool about this? I assumed you would have sobbed or lost it when you found out you had a relative," Rainbow remarked before receiving a hard slap from Rarity.

"Rainbow!" Rarity spoke up, and I just laughed a bit to myself as I recalled how my Rarity used to treat Rainbow in that way before I forced myself to stop thinking about them too much.

"It's fine Rarity the only reason I'm not broken up about it right now is that I want to find out what happened before so I don't have another when I learn what caused her death," "Enough about me, Auntie. I know it may come off as me not caring, but I just want to have one break-down, not multiple," I replied truly, knowing that it would probably be best if I found out how she died and if it was painful or not. She simply nodded her head.

Mom spoke weakly and started crying, the long-known façade breaking. "Sister, I need to know what caused this because if this is before Sombra fell to dark magic what caused it please Sister so I can know what killed my first niece," Mom pleaded.

"Of course sister, you see unlike Cadence I gave birth to a unicorn while that usually isn't a problem mine and Sombras Child had more magic in their system than a Unicorn could handle at least at birth," Auntie replied with difficulty.

With an indifferent expression, Twilight enquired, "How much magic did they exactly have?"

As everyone is aware, a newborn unicorn typically possesses extremely weak magic and isn't even able to levitate most objects. Auntie remarked, "My daughter had enough Magic to level Canterlot. The only reason I hadn't broken down was because I had perfected my mask, but it was cracking quickly." Tears were then slowly streaming down her cheeks.

Auntie abruptly stopped talking as more tears started to flow, and that's when I realised that "as a result, her magic would eventually overload her system and kill her, Sombre was inconsolable and he"

I remarked in a tremulous voice, "He turned to dark magic to try to cure her didn't he?" The others were crying as well.

Twilight replied haltingly, "I always thought Sombra was completely evil and heartless when in reality he fell trying to save someone close to him," just before she began to experience a mini-meltdown of her own.

Luna said, "The worst part is I never got to see her before she passed," after she had slightly recovered. Before I could respond, though, we heard the door open and two people entered, who I knew from before—at least one of their counterparts—which was appropriate given the topic of our conversation—because no one dared to speak, and they appeared to be worried and concerned about the situation we were all in.

"What did we miss?" inquired the person I had encountered in this realm.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to know too" The other person, who in my universe was Luna's daughter, stated something in a dramatic manner that made me smile: if they are related, then their parents must be the same, so why did Luna claim that her daughter had died? Before it dawned on her, Trixie was concealing her identity and hiding behind her mask in this realm.

"Twilight?" I inquired.

"Yes, Sunset," Twilight questioned.

I nodded and motioned for Trixie to follow me to a corner of the room. "You explain what we were talking about while I'll explain it to Trixie," I said.

As I began telling her about Luna, Sombra, and their daughter, I watched Trixie repeatedly locking up, appearing afraid and guilty, which further strengthened my suspicions. When I finally stopped talking, she cleared her throat a little before continuing.

As she replied, "Thank you for telling the Great and Powerful Trixie," I observed that she was making a few remarkable vocal cracks. This further confirmed my notion that Trixie from my world and Equestria share the same parents.

"No problem, I don't think we have met. I'm Princess Celestia's honourable Sunset Shimmer Daughter, and I assume you're the same Trixie that does shows around the nation." I responded, not knowing, but based on the idea that everyone in this world is older and working at the occupations they desire.

She inquired, bewildered at the notion that if we were cousins I would be having a more dramatic meltdown. "Yes indeed I am the same but forgive me for saying this but your Celetias daughter so why are you having a better reaction than everyone else to this situation?"

I approached her until we were in such close proximity that a strong wind would cause us to collide. She initially appeared anxious, but her expression changed to one of horror upon hearing my following remarks.

"I would cry if you weren't in front of me dear cousin"

What?!

After hearing what I had just heard, it took me a good five minutes to gather my thoughts before I could glance at Luna, who was using her power to pin Trixie to the wall.

"Auntie stop!" I yelled at her, trying to get her to lose focus with my magic. Luna gave me a look.

"Why should I dear Niece when this show mare refuses to tell me how she knows my daughter's name!" Luna uttered harsh words.

I spoke worriedly as Luna continued to look angry and perplexed. "Auntie, you'll never get your answers if you keep pinning her against the wall especially seeing as you still driving her into it," I added.

"What is thou talking about niece why is it a problem that I'm driving her into the wall," Luna asked perplexingly

"Maybe because it's a crystal wall and you're hurting her!" When Luna realised what she was doing, she stopped and let go of her before I could fly and catch Trixie. Before I could set her down, I noticed that Trixie's eyes were now slitted and had different colours in each, red and dark blue, respectively.

"Sunset, I appreciate you rescuing Trixie." Starlight spoke behind me while Trixie remained face down. I was the only one who knew about her eyes changing colour. "I am as angry as everyone else have to admit that, Trixie knows something but she's also one of my only friends other than Twilight and the others," Starlight said.

"No problem Starlight however I think Trixie hiding more than just knowing Emerald moon as Luna's daughter's " I replied.

"What do you mean by that exactly my little sunshine?" I just covered my face with one of my hooves and looked down as the room laughed as Mom claimed that I could hear everyone laughing.

"Mum just why?" I was upset at my mom for using my nickname, saying, "You promised not to use my nickname in front of people."

I turned to look at Trixie, and everyone stopped laughing except for Rainbow, who continued to laugh longer than anybody else. "Sorry, dear, but continue with what you were going to say," Mom urged.

"Ok Trixie, usual, I would ask how you know that name however I have a different question and that is why do your eyes have two different eye colours along with them being slitted all of a sudden." then I heard Trixie punch the floor as I was looking away, her hoof glowing slightly before fading away, which we all found strange. I then heard a rumble below me, and I jumped back towards the others, who were all as shocked as I was to see a giant green crystal emerge from the ground that I had been standing on.

"When did Trixie learn Crystal magic!" Twilight expressed her utter surprise that Trixie could utilise it just as much as I could.

I heard Auntie Luna say, "Sister, isn't this kind of magic only in the restricted section?"

I heard my mother say, "It is now, but that doesn't explain how she can do it, I put multiple spells and enchantments on that area of the restricted section due to followers of Sombra trying to learn Crystal magic," which made sense because ever since Sombra was defeated, numerous cults had emerged, most of which have been destroyed, but a few have persisted.

"Sorry to interrupt darling, but we have a bigger problem on our hands at the moment," Rarity said to them. I was surprised to hear Rarity tell the two beings who moved celestial objects to focus, but she is right because when I looked at Trixie, I noticed that the red smoke was much more prominent than before and that the others had seen it.

"While can't you just keep your muzzle out of my business, so I know a name big deal it isn't like Sombras dairy is in the Crystal Library!" She was shrieking so loudly that I was tempted to cover my ears, but I knew I could handle it.

"It isn't Trixie, Cadance found Sombras dairy but didn't want anyone to read it not even herself so she brought it to me, so I could destroy which I did as soon as she gave it to me," mum stated quietly with a neutral expression.

"Well maybe there was 2 dairy's and you found the original not the spare," Before I realised anything about the distinctions between worlds, I heard Trixie's voice quivering somewhat almost instantly. While most events are the same, some are different, an example is how There's a sunset in our world, but none in yours, at least that one was born there, which means that something changed in our world that could only have occurred because of magic. It was a conversation between Twilight and the girls, which I missed because I was involved in the battle against the dazzlings earlier. That's when I gave it more thought and came to a conclusion.

"Trixie before we do fight can I quickly ask you something?" I inquired

"Sure but be quick and don't try anything," She warned me to be careful.

"I've always wondered if there was a difference between my world and this one in terms of events, originally I thought things were the same except when I found no mention of another born to my mother and that is it so tell me what is the difference that made that happen?"

Trixie gazed thoughtfully for a moment, then her eyes widened and she clinched her teeth, saying, "Magic, that's the difference."

"You are correct however that means that anything true in my world is also true here because it has to be true here before it is there meaning if you were the daughter of someone there, it would mean you are the daughter of the same person here, "I stated knowing I had backed her in a corner

"Niece what are you getting at while I am following your logic you make it sound like Trixie is someone's daughter over there?" Auntie Luna said she was totally confused.

"Well Auntie remember when you said you wanted to know how Trixie knew Emerald's name" I looked down and remarked, "Well, that's because you were asking her for her name," as she nodded.

"But that would mean Trixie is...." I heard Auntie say that, and then there was stillness as the lifetime revelation set in.

Author's Note

Hi I know that I said I didnt have as much free time to write and while that does hold true for now,My exams will be in a weeks time meaning I will have more time after they are done,now why I am saying this?,its because I want to start a new story which I would be writing along side this one and for clarification these two storys are not in the same universe,this second story is more of a less planned out one where I Have only thought of the concept and the start of the ploy, now while I could start this while writing this one,I want all of my readers opinions on weather I should just focus on this story until its finished or I should start writing this other one at the same time Comment what you think I should do

Confusion and realisation

"Emerald moon," Auntie exclaimed, and most of the others responded in kind. Trixie, on the other hand, appeared irritated and furious, but no one seemed to know why. Well, aside from the fact that, although Trixie and Emerald Moon certainly have certain parallels, I was aware of the circumstances surrounding Trixie's behaviour shift.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but while Trixie had some of Emerald's features she isn't her well not entirely at least" After I finished speaking, I turned to face the others and noticed that most of them were staring at Luna with have reservations about in their eyes, but Luna also had hope.

"For Emerald to survive you said Sombra had to transfer a large portion of her magic correct?"I looked at Trixie and waited for Luna to respond. It took a few minutes, but I eventually got my response.

"That..... is correct, why do you ask Niece?"Luna responded, "Like the others, I'm certainly confused."

"So hypothetically say that Sombra had such an item what would the power inside it be capable of doing?" I replied that I already knew the solution.

"Well it would most likely put the person whose possession it was magic levels up to that of an alicorn or greater depending on how much Sombra Transferred, I don't see what you're getting at here," Mom said, "I was about to explain, but someone beat me to it. Confused like everyone else."

"Oh I know why because it has to do with the alicorn amulet which appeared for no time or reason a thousand years ago near the crystal empire, you think it has Emerald's power in it, so when Trixie used it a couple of years back she got some of Emeralds powers and memories left behind after she took off the Amulet, which is how she also knows spells she would usually not know, also why her Eyes had red smoke like when she had the Amulet on?!" I shook my head and stood there dumbfounded that Pinkie knew all that before recalling Twilight's advice to never doubt what Pinkie can and cannot accomplish.

I heard Rainbow reply, "That's not what Sunset was suggesting," from behind me.

"She's pretty much on the mark," I replied.

"I don't know what's more impressive, to be honest ?" At last, Trixie had spoken.

"What do you mean by that," I said, assuming she was referring to magic or spells. However, what she said next made me realise that she was still Trixie from before.

"What The Great and Powerful Trixie means is about how you figured it out so quickly or the Pink one for saying all of it without taking a single breath of oxygen" Trixie acknowledged, and even though I thought Pinkie was amazing, I was delighted that she validated it.

"So my late daughter's powers along with some of her memories were passed down to you, how intriguing while It saddens me to learn that My daughter is still dead, It also comes to my attention that you have more potential than anyone I've seen except for Sunset and Twilight that is" Luna told Trixie that I had seen the change in Trixie's expression from one of sadness to concern to happiness.

"That's all well and good but do you intend to do what I think you are?" Mom questioned, casting Luna a cunning, smug glance.

"Yes, dear sister," It does, and I know that I owe you some cake when we return to Canterlot', Auntie remarked angrily, and Mom merely grinned, acknowledging that it's wonderful that she still enjoys cake after all these years.

"Sorry to interrupt but do what exactly?" I inquired

Luna said, "The answer my dear niece is taking Trixie on as my first pupil in over 1200 years," which basically left everyone dumbfounded until they realised what was going on and congratulated Trixie.

"Everyone, can I have your attention real quick?" They all glanced at me when I asked.

Having lately read some old stories, I remarked, "I hate to cut my visit short but if I go back later it will be too dark for me to walk back to my flat so with a heavy heart I must bide you farewell."

Mom added, "We all understand Sunset you have a Villian to catch anyway," as I turned to go."oh and Sunset dear"

"Yes, Mom," I replied.

"Perhaps reduce the amount of time you spend reading old stories—no offence intended, sweetie—as it was a little odd to watch my daughter say goodbye." I agreed, then returned through the portal in the hopes of eventually finding anon-a-miss and providing support to people in need during this difficult time.

Pete and theresa you two can start your own discussion here like you did for the last chapter

Preparation

After passing through the portal, I noticed that it was growing darker.
I noticed a text from Rainbow as I made my way home after checking my phone, which had been worthless in Equestria because there were no cell towers there.

'Hello Sunny, I know you're probably busy right now, but Pinkie and I feel like we should apologise to the Dazzlings, and we want you to be present in case one of the others shows up or someone loses their cool.'

I always considered forcing them to meet and see if they could become friends. Originally, I decided against it, but now that Pinkie was on our side, it might be beneficial for both of them. I pondered before responding to the message.

'Considering that the dazzlings were willing to pardon you for negotiating with the others because you voted to leave and for being submissive, Pinkie, I believe that's a great idea, Rainbow.' Given how similar she and Sonata are, it's probably the same. Just let me know when you're ready to accomplish this, and I'll be there.

I was two thirds of the way home when I heard a loud noise, so I knew I had completed typing and there was a good chance Rainbow would not respond for a time !CRASH! I know I should exercise caution, but if someone gets harmed down this alleyway, they're going to need assistance.

A few bin lids were strewn around as I cautiously made my way into the alley. But before I could go any farther, I observed that someone had emerged from behind the stack of bins, facing away from me.

I was sick to my stomach because I could tell who it was right away based on their stature and colour scheme. As I opened my mouth to say something, they abruptly took off sprinting.

They might be able to escape outside of the school, but they would find it difficult to do so because they didn't even look at me, so if I called them to my office, they wouldn't think anything of it. I stopped thinking about it so I could refocus on getting home and trying to find Anon-a-miss. By the time I recovered from my shock and confusion at the event, they had already left.

Making a list of potential suspects and a separate one for non-Anon-a-miss individuals was the first step. Asking the principals for assistance in monitoring student behaviour on school computers in case students use them was the second. By now, the third step involved forging allies everywhere.

I entered my apartment door, quickly changed, laid down on my bed and fell asleep peacefully. I knew there was still more I could have done on the list, but I was too exhausted to care.

The following day, I started getting ready and cleaning up. After that, I sat down at my desk and checked my phone to see that Rainbow had responded. Fortunately, I was not needed until later in the day at school, so I could work on the list I had made.

' You would naturally believe it would be an excellent idea. I mean, I invented it,' and when I saw that she was finally behaving like herself, I couldn't help but laugh.

Now that anyone I've injured may be behind it, the list of suspects could be as long as Tartarus, so let's start with the folks who aren't 100% Anon-a-miss.

Pinkie and Rainbow I can confirm that none of them are, as neither would do this and Rainbow in particular given her family. Lyra and Bonbon are also off limits because they tried to dissuade people that it wasn't me when I passed by them the other day talking to some others. Derpys is too kind and happy to do something like this, and based on what I saw yesterday, one of the CMC aren't Anon-a-miss, and if one of them isn't, neither would the others; at least it's not likely, but you can't rule out the other two. Flash is almost entirely unlikely to be him because he was okay with me ending our relationship because he wanted it too. Wallflower isn't either; she may have hated me but she couldn't do most of this plus she can't lie that well. Trixie isn't because she's too unstable emotionally right now.

It's a start, and based just on what I already know, so that at least rules out some of the nine pupils who can't be Anon-a-miss. Alright, time to create the suspect list. I can immediately think of three people who could do this if they so want.

'Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy, while the likelihood that they are not Anon is high, I can't completely rule them out. Snips and Snails, with assistance, could accomplish this but they are too stupid to do it alone; they might have someone working with them. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are unlikely to do this since they have started to appear nicer, but they might still be. Then there's one person who could be Anon, but what would terrify me, given that my theory was refuted back home with Emerald Never existing here, means there's a chance that I could be behind this even though there isn't any magic naturally present. However, she might be worse.

Meeting and Questions?

Well, at least I had started the list and could finish it later. I put it on my desk and got up to leave my flat for Canterlot High.

I knew going into the building that I had an appointment with Wallflower, so when I saw her going alone to the garden, I knew that would be a better place to talk to her. Besides, it was class time, so she must have been upset or dismissed early, which I highly doubt.

She appeared dejected when she approached the garden, so I decided to say, "Wallflower, are you ok, sweetie?" to her. "How are you doing, consular Sunny Skies?" I said in an almost perfecting mother's voice. She glanced back and gave me a hesitant grin. Knowing it was a falsehood, I was a little taken aback by how formal her address was to me.

"Wallflower I told you, you could call me what you want, I'm meant to be more friend than authority after all so tell me what's on your mind, because no offence I can tell something troubling you" Wallflower's smile vanished, and she began to cry, her expression taking on a fierce wrath.

"WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NICE TO ME ALL OF A SUDDEN?!" I just stared at her, confused as to why she would yell at me so loudly, "STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CARE, THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE DOING THIS IS BECAUSE OF SUNSET!" I nearly snapped, smitten that she had known before I enjoyed that leaping to judgement was what had gotten me into this situation.

"Sideflower" I have no idea what you are talking about, and I'm not related to Sunset Shimmer. If I were, I doubt Principal Celestia would hire me because, as an only child, she would be furious that I'm taking over for her sister. When I spoke to her in a kind and calm manner, she appeared confused, but then she rushed over to me and jumped at me.

I enjoyed that she was hugging me rather than hitting me as I was going to push her off of me. I gave her a soft pat on the back and told her it was okay before we both got up and I gave her her rucksack.

"I'm sorry I was just so scared"

"Why were you so scared?"

The phrase "because of Anon-a-miss" caused me to hesitate.

"What do you mean by that?" It brought me to disturbed thinking.

Wallflower, still struggling to maintain her composure, added, "She posted again, and this one was about how you look like her a tiny bit, and how you were always defending her."

As she settled down, I reassuringly remarked, "Well, at the end of the day, they are just rumours, just like how a student loved her animals was a rumour so is this."

"I want to help" led me to misunderstand what exactly

"With what exactly Wallflower?" I inquired

She spoke with more assurance than I had previously seen in her, saying, "Catching Anon-a-miss, whether it is Sunset or not, they are too dangerous to deal with especially since they can get information from staff that have been here for a couple of weeks,"

"Ok well there is one thing you can do that the others helping can't," I replied.

"I'll take care of anything you ask me to.sensibly." Wallflower stated she was starting to revert to her bashful self.

"Well I need you to do what you have been which is hard to notice, now I'm not saying be invisible but you are one of the lesser-known students around the school meaning you can get info on Things I and the others can't, do you think you can do that for me?" I understood there was a risk involved, but it would tremendously aid in the search.

"I may not like it but understandable and I guess being seen and heard is a risk right now so I accept but Can we still have our weekly chat," she questioned.

"Of course now I need to cut this short because there is a student who is suffering so much that she may not live the week, so I am sorry but I worry for their safety," I said with anxiety and concern.

"I'm fine, I'm just glad we could talk, and here's the garden key in case what you say about us turns out to be true. If it's locked and you would like to go, I have to water the garden right now. Wallflower waved me off as I made my way to the main building, trying to maintain a brave expression despite what I had said.

Students kept their distance in the hallways. When I arrived at my office, I opened it, sat down at my desk, placed my bag down, set up my laptop, and then pressed the bell.

"yes, Skies what do you need?" On the opposite end, I heard Raven state.

"It's not what I need but who," I said.

"ah ok I understand, who do you need me to call to your office?"

"Could you call Miss Spectrum please"

S,A,S

It took me many minutes to receive a response.

Over the microphone, Raven said to me, "Sorry for the wait, Sunny. We found her outside of her classroom, so she was hard to find."

It's alright. Knowing that they probably needed to be safe and sound, I answered, "Raven, as long as she gets here safe and sound that's all that matters."

A knock on my office door was then heard.

I said, "It's open," and it revealed the one student I had been hoping to see.

"Hi Miss Skies, why exactly I am here?" She questioned, perplexed as to why I had phoned her.

"Just a quick meeting, you know, I like to meet with students who may need assistance with specific tasks because I was once in their shoes. With a smile on my face, I added, "I want you to see me as a friend, not a staff member, so please call me Sunny or Skies whichever you choose."

"Oh ok, Skies but why exactly I am here I don't need help with anything I'm just a normal Kid with a normal home life," She said, she wasn't very good at lying, but she was attempting to be as convincing as she could.

I sighed. Her faces changed to one of grief and loneliness as I stated sadly, wearing a worried look. "Look, I'm going, to be honest here I saw you searching through the garbage yesterday on my way home," she said.

"So what are you going to do now?" With both hands wrapped round her sides, attempting to remain calm.

"Nothing," I honestly said, and she gave me a perplexed, bewildered expression in return.

"Nothing but I thought you were going to send me back to the orphanage?" She stated

"If what you have been doing is any indication, there is nothing to be concerned with sending you back to places because they didn't work out," I added, looking at her for a moment while she took it all in.

She cried out in frustration, "If that's true, what are you going to do? It's not like I have anyone to turn to who I trust or who is in good enough condition." I knew that would be the answer, but it also gave me the opportunity to assist her, even though it was a mistake because I keep my belongings at my apartment. A child, especially one as young as her, should never have to deal with starvation and homelessness.

"I know you have no one you trust but what If I become one you can?" I said politely.

"I wouldn't mind but how do I know you won't turn out like the others who just turned their backs on me?" She spoke with a certain anger in her voice, which startled me a little.

"Well you see I have an apartment which has two bedrooms but I only use one so the other goes to waste most of the time, So what do you think about moving in with me, that way you have somewhere with food and shelter, where we can build up our trust more does that sound good?" She seemed conflicted, but I observed that she sighed before looking up at me.

She nervously answered, "Fine, I'll move in with you for now."

I honestly said, "Well, I can't wait for you to move in."

"So what's your full name by the way?" It was awkward because I hadn't considered one when she asked, which shocked me.

"Ok as long as you tell me your's, my full name is Sunny Aphasia Skies," I remarked, Imagining Aphasia on the spot, this must be to help build trust, as it seemed like the only logical answer.

"Nice name it fits alright, but a deals a deal mine is Scootaloo Aurora Spectrum"

Hiatus

Hello everyone this is not an official chapter as by the title you can see there haven't been updates for a while mainly because real lfie has gotten in the way recently,along with some other personal problems i am not willing to disclose here,now will i return,yes i love writing and this has been fun to do and it wouldn't be fair if i just disappeared and never finished this,will i be back soon,maybe i plan to be back before August at the least maybe even half way though july however there is a chance i am back before that,now I know most of you probably didn't want this story ok hiatus neither do I but my motivation along with my other problems at the moment makes working on this almost entirely impossible,i will answer comments left under this chapter if they are not too personal and as a end note have a wonderful day

The Post

I was impressed and astounded by how someone could write so much about her in such a short amount of time as I watched Scootaloo leave my office and realised that there had been a new post on Anon-A-Miss specifically about me. However, that's when she noticed that there were multiple sub sections with some other secrets, one of which being that Rainbow was an orphan.

"Who do they think they are, humiliating Dash in such a way!" I thought angrily as it continued to even describe the circumstances that led to her being an orphan. Suddenly, she noticed something about a person she had just spoken to in a little subsection.

She was already upset with Anon for going after Dash, but it was the last straw when she realised that Scootaloo had said, "Who would care for her?" At first, she thought Scootaloo was being sarcastic, but if she was sincere, there was a good chance Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell severed their relationship. ! 'It seems like Rainbow's biggest fan is also someone who wants to kiss people of the same gender what a freak, no wonder she can't keep her eye's off of her fellow club members' It read

When Sunset realised that Fluttershy was the only person who knew about Rainbow's brother and parents besides herself, she began to read the paragraphs about her Sunny Skies and noticed several instances where private information was being used. At that point, Sunset wanted to unleash the fury of a million suns. it stated She met with Rainbow and had a session with Wallflower.

"'Sigh' Raven?" Devoid of energy, Sunny asked

"Yes, Skies what is it you need?" When Raven questioned from the other side, Sunny realised she was going to suffer a severe headache.

"Please can you call Miss Shy to my office please I have something important to talk about with her" Raven was silent for a few minutes.

"Sorry for not talking but it took us a while to find her seeing as she decided that the old parts of the school were a fun place to hang out, we are sending her your way now," Raven replied with a voice that indicated stress.

"That's all I need Raven, please take a break. You need to be refreshed to perform at your best," I spoke my concerns loudly.

The Raven said, "I shall do that now seeing as I'm meant to be on break now anyway good luck with whatever you are doing Sunny," before it fell silent.

Then I heard a sweet, familiar voice knock on the door.

"Can I come in please Miss Skies?" Fluttershy spoke in her inimitable quiet voice.

"You may enter Miss Shy do please take a seat if you want" I told her that although she appeared perplexed, she nodded and sat down. Her perplexity was understandable given how infrequently the consulate calls students.

With her typical timidity flaming in her cheeks, she questioned, "What is this about consular?"

I said sharply and bluntly, "Look, I'm going, to be honest with you Shy did you send any kind of evidence to Anon-a-Miss which could have led to damaging a reputation along with self-esteem being lowered which concerns a certain Rainbow haired Teen. Luna may have tolerated first-time offenders however I will not be as lenient as she was do you understand." I stopped my gaze because Fluttershy had tears in her eyes. I knew I had gone too far, but I hadn't cared like my demon self hadn't, which helped me calm down after realising how similar I was acting.

"Fluttershy look I am sorry and hope you can for-" I got going

"IT WAS ME OK!" She interrupted me with a cry as tears streamed from her eyes.

"What do you mean it was you?"I inquired

"My diary was stolen by someone and I had written everything which happened to me and my friends in that book but now Anon has its contents and Is using it against the school!" I went over to soothe her as she yelled in pain and started to slowly collapse to the ground, a single thought going through my head as I did so.

Since she consistently tries to maintain her neutrality, I understood that pressing her would not be a good idea.

She started to scream less and gently raised her head to look at me. "Fluttershy," I murmured, but she didn't respond. "Fluttershy, look at me please," I requested.

"Now I know you're upset and sad, but this isn't your fault, you didn't know, someone would steal the diary did you," She nodded when I spoke more as a statement than a question.

She agreed, so I said, "Exactly now, how about we go somewhere you would like," and I assisted her in standing up.

"Ok now its currently halfway through 4th period so we should be fine to walk the halls freely, now keep close and trust me you'll love this place," I replied quietly.

"If that's what you think Sunny then sure, I'm hoping there are animals there," Happily and sweetly, she said

As we stepped out of the building and into the garden, which Wallflower and a few others had decorated with more flowers, plants, decorations and tiny creatures, I couldn't help but smile. "So Fluttershy, what do you think of the school garden?" I asked her, glancing at her as if she were in candy world. She just gazed at me for a few minutes before shaking her head when I asked.

"It's beautiful but how did this happen, the school gardens have always been in disrepair usually?" Fluttershy enquired

I responded, "Well, you see a certain new group of people who support a certain someone for being a victim of Anon and not her, did this along with the newly established Garden club that Wallflower Blush operates," as Fluttershy cast a confused glance at the ground.

"Fluttershy let's be honest with ourselves you don't believe Sunsets Anon you just have some leftover anger from when she used to bully you don't you?" I stated it as though it were true to make my point.

"All right, you're correct. She started to change and get closer to the others and me, but when Anon struck, my fear came back full force. I feel ashamed of myself because it's obvious it's not her, but I still think so. While I tried to figure her out, most of the things she had done were just too much for me to forgive her for completely. She reported that during the majority of it, I held her till she stopped sobbing and fell asleep in my arms. As I stared at her and then at the sky, I felt comprehension and rage.

At least I know who forgives me and who doesn't. I still need to figure out how they knew what I was doing at my flat; it seems like whoever this was is much more crafter than I gave them credit for. My old self was quite horrible when it came to blackmail and death threats being used with the blackmail being real. However, she did bully a lot of people and she always thought it was strange how the Rainbooms had been acting through this entire situation.

Confusion

When I checked my watch, I saw that it was getting late—far too late to be out and about. Fluttershy was sound sleeping, calm as a butterfly, but I knew we had to leave since her parents would be worried sick.

Despite my attempts to gently shake her, she woke up quickly. She yawned softly and opened her eyes gradually. I saw that she briefly glanced around before realising where she was.

"oh umm, Hi miss skies did I fall asleep on you, I'm so sorry for that I was just so tired," She said drowsily, and that's when I noticed something strange—she had bags under her eyes, which were hard to see because they were so small. Because I've had sleepless nights before, though, I knew she was troubled by something, and that would also explain why she broke so easily—even for Fluttershy, it happened too quickly if she hadn't been stressed about something that is

I whispered, "Fluttershy," as she raised her head to face me.

"yes, Miss skies?" Fluttershy uttered a timid smile.

With a light laugh, I replied, "First rule: you can just call me Sunny remember; you don't have to call me miss; it makes me sound old." Fluttershy looked away, her cheeks flushed, and she smiled a little before stopping and beginning to apologise.

She laughed to herself and added, "Sorry Miss—I mean, Sunny—I forgot that you told me I could call you by your name like we are friends." I simply smiled at her.

"It's fine dear second rule to remember is I am your friend," I responded, "however to be honest with you Fluttershy I don't think your diary being stolen is the only thing bothering you is it?" I asked, maintaining a neutral expression, and she looked around her more, then calmed down again. I gave her a dejected smile.

I apologise; you're correct. She kept her head down, her cheeks scarlet once more, and replied, "I haven't been entirely honest with you either, miss—I mean, sunny—it's something else which has been bothering me.

"What's not right?" If something is bothering you, Fluttershy, perhaps I can try to assist you?" I genuinely inquired.

I heard her add, gently, "I don't think you can help this other issue, Sunny," as she turned her head away from me.

"Fluttershy, remember this is a safe space nothing too big or too little will stop me from helping you or any of the students under my care, I'm sure its something I can help with, only if you let me," I added with a grin.

"I want your help but you probably wouldn't believe me it's such a childish thing to say and explain," she remarked with a smile. I was wondering what it could be when I realised that magic was one of the few things considered childish. I wanted to reveal my magic almost immediately, so I assumed she would tell me, but I knew that would be a bad idea because Fluttershy might think I'm a villain and it would make her suspicious of me even more given that the last new magic users took over the school.

She turned her head away from me and said, "Maybe in the future I will tell you, but not right now, Sunny. I need to think about it if that's okay with you, of course."

"Remember rule three you Don't have to make people feel better at your own expense, from what I have been told you are usually the kindest girl around school, However, people have also told me you have been doing stuff you hate now and then to make others happy and while I do admire you want people to be happy don't sacrifice your personality do you understand" I replied softly

"Thank you sunny," She expressed happiness as plain as day on her face, happiness that would vanish after what I said, but that had to be done.

"Fluttershy, you need to talk to them," I stated emphatically that the joy had vanished instantly and had been replaced by worry and concern.

"I don't think they and I are on speaking terms seeing as what happened last time we were together just the three of us," she said, rubbing her arm. I could tell she was recalling the fight. I knew this would be difficult for Rainbow, but I also knew it would be difficult for Fluttershy because it would be even harder for them to apologise now.

"Ok you Don't have to talk to them yet how about you apologise to Rainbow and Pinkie first?" I proposed that she gave me a tense gaze before turning to look down.

"I'll give it a try but can you be there just to make sure nothing happens?" I was planning to be there otherwise, but having a purpose is more preferable, she inquired.

I gently said, "Of course, I'll be there when you do apologise."

"Many thanks, Sunny Sunny, I had better head out before it gets too dark so my parents don't worry." Shouting, Fluttershy bolted for her house.

Later, I'll speak with her about my apology to the sirens. Before realising what I had noticed in one of the surrounding bushes, I noticed a white bow with a yellow tint and some curly hair that had been chopped off. I assumed that the person who had cut the hair was either a teenager or perhaps someone whose hair had become stuck on one of the trees.

I'll put this in the lost and found before I head home, and that's just what I did. I did that before I went home to sleep.

A second chance (mini chapter)

Rainbow dash pov

What's up with this slowness today? Yesterday was really boring, especially since sports were called off because of the drama involving Anon.

"Dashie there you are!" A well-known voice called out to me.

"Hello pinks, so how's your day been so far?" Curious, I asked if she had had a slow day.

"Not so good dashie, no one will let me throw any parties, because I believe Sunset isn't Anon," Everyone just accepts Pinkie as Pinkie, even though I've always observed her hair puffing down a little bit.

"Yeah, it's not just you, Pinks. People think I'm supporting her now. Some birdbrains even started a rumour saying I was a miss, which is such a stupid rumour, but sports were cancelled yesterday and I was suspended from them to 'protect me,'" I angrily retorted, realising that Mr. Iron will had claimed it was done to protect me.

Pinkie looked annoyed at something or someone, which was plainly behind me, and remarked, "Well at least they are thinking about you," in a low tone.

I questioned, "Pinks, what or who is behind me for you to have that reaction," knowing there could only be three possible responses.

"Rainbow" I froze, then slowly spun around to see Fluttershy standing there, staring at me with warmth and compassion instead of severity or fury.

Keeping my eyes on Fluttershy, I asked, "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to tell you something," she replied.

"Well come on I'm ready for you to show me whatever argument you have for sunset being anon," I said sheepishly

"I'm not going to," the woman state

"That's hard to believe seeing as that's all you and the others have been trying for me to stab Sunset in the ba-" I felt someone touch my arm, so I halted and turned to see Pinkie doing it.

"What is it Pinkie?" I inquired

"Hear her out" With bewildered expressions on my face, I asked her why I should "trust me please for me and sunny"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Fluttershy," I said, trying to honour Pinkie's request.

"I just want to apologise for my assumptions along with the pain I've put you and Pinkie through this entire ordeal, especially to you dashi- I mean Rainbow us two have to know each other since we were toddlers and I acted like we didn't know eac-"

"flutters Stop"

"But I'm not done with my apology"

I replied, "Fluttershy, have you not noticed?" She gave me a bewildered face.

I said calmly, aware that some would call me cruel, but Fluttershy and I had known each other for forever, and she turned on me almost immediately. "You started crying at the beginning of your apology and kept going you need to take a breather, I accept your apology but you still need to earn my forgiveness," I said.

With tears still in her eyes, Fluttershy replied to me, "I understand, Rainbow. All I ask is a chance."

"Here's your opportunity, Don't worry, Fluttershy. All I ask is that you assist us in properly identifying Anon with evidence to support it, rather than making unfounded accusations." She continued to wipe tears from her eyes and nodded.

"So who wants to go to sugar cube corner for ice cream!" As ever, Pinkie was giddy as I glanced at Fluttershy, who nodded joyfully, and I smiled.

"Pinkie that is a wonderful idea."

A talk with the landlord (Mini-chapter)

A talk with the landlord (Mini-chapter)

When I got back to my apartment with Scootaloo standing in front of me, I considered how this would benefit us both. On the one hand, she needs assistance but could find out am sunset, but on the other, I had to accept that she could find the things I had hidden there from my final days on earth. After all, her security and well-being are my main priorities. Right now

At that point, the landlord and the receptionist entered my apartment building together.

I remarked in a tone that was impartial, "Mr. Rich, it's great to see you this fine night. I'm surprised to see that you are, usually you are here at the end of the month." He turned around.

"If it isn't my new favourite tenet Sunny Skies, who's this little one?" He questioned, glancing at Scootoloo.

I made up a lie on the spot to avoid telling the truth, saying, "She's a student at CHS but she's recently been temporarily kicked out of her house." I saw that Scootoloo was appreciative.

"How could some little cute kid like this get kicked out of their home?" He enquired with worry.

"Sexuality in a word," I remarked. To sound sincere, I spoke with a hint of rage.

"I'm going to have a long chat with your parents if I ever meet them, I have a daughter myself who has come out as a Lesbian, and I support her my wife on the other hand did not take too kindly to it," he added with sorrow.

"What did she do?" When Scootoloo did speak at last, I was relieved that she could be a little more honest with filthy rich.

"My wife is quite the traditional Woman she Believes that my daughter loving Girls will stop eventually and has been teaching her to hide her true self good news is she's stopped listening to her but I'm going to be honest if she continues I will not be with her for much longer," he said with clear regret.

"I am sorry to hear that, Rich," I remarked empathetically, but all he did was nod.

"It's fine anyway moving on from my family drama, we are going to have to talk about an increase in rent for you, unfortunately," he replied. Keeping a straight face

"Why does she have to pay more?, for letting me live with her?" I knew why, but I'll let Rich explain; he's better at that kind of thing, Scootoloo asked.

"You see beforehand she was renting a two-bedroom apartment for herself and since it's only her, the unit was quite cheap to run when adding the electric and gas together however with you living there both will be used more meaning we need to up the rent so we can still supply you with enough, do you understand?" He questioned her

"I think I get what you mean, more people means more stuff being used so that equals more expensive right?" He acknowledged her with a nod.

"That's right now the good news is it's not going to be much more seeing as your a kid, for now, you can both go upstairs to your Apartment," he stated with a grin.

"Don't venture too far ahead, Scootaloo." I spoke as she moved a little bit forward.

I paused for a while. "Rich," I murmured.

"Yes, sunny, do you need anything else?" he asked, pausing to gaze at me. He inquired

I answered amiably, "No, just good luck and I hope it ends well for you," and he simply nodded and grinned.

"So do I, Sunny, so do I," he murmured with hope.

Settling in

When Scootaloo abruptly leaped onto the couch and turned on the TV as soon as we entered my apartment, I grinned and grabbed the bag that she had carelessly tossed to the ground.

I grabbed it and headed to her new room, where I noticed she was watching a Wonderbolts game. Although I wasn't particularly interested in that kind of stuff, I figured I might as well at least pretend to be.

She glanced at me and grinned. "So I see you warming up to the place quite quickly," I added happily.

"Well I haven't been able to watch Tv for a while and I get to watch the wonder bolts some of my favourite people in the world," she smiled.

"Who's your favourite person in the whole world, then if it's not any of the wonder bolts?" I posed as ignorant when I inquired.

She answered hesitantly in the conclusion, "That would be Rainbow Dash; she's the fastest and best football player I have ever seen. She's also my idol; I also see her as a Big Sister," before her expression turned melancholy.

"What is it?, why do you look sad?" I questioned her, worried about how she could have gone from being happy to sad so quickly.

"She probably thinks I'm a freak," Scootaloo stated, I understood what she was thinking, but I also realised that it wasn't abnormal; rather, it was natural.

I softly pleaded, "Scootaloo, look at me," and she raised her eyes, tears starting to form.

"If anyone calls you a Freak again, you instantly come to me understand or go to Rainbow whichever you are comfortable with, you understand?" I spoke out; she appeared bewildered.

"how would that be helpful?" To say I was shocked that she would think that would be an understatement, along with the fact someone predicted I would invite her to live with me, would be to say "you are just a teacher who pities me don't think I can't see it, you're only doing this for your subconscious, just like she said you would do."

I said genuinely and honestly, "Scootaloo, if that was the only reason I would have been much more strict and rude, who's been filling your head with this stuff, I would never do this for you just to ease my subconscious," and she gave me a look of disbelief.

"You are probably right seeing as the one who told me this is also the reason my friends broke off their friendship with me," she said. I did a double take right away because not even I could break their friendship during my reign of terror over the school. she added gloomily.

"Who was this person?" When I asked, she gave me a straight look.

"She's been around for a while, and while I don't know her name particularly, she usually has this kind of swirly hair." I stared at her, utterly amazed at the details, and she replied, "Along with a bow in it, but she lost her old red one so she wears a blue one now. Her hair is an interesting colour seeing as it's turquoise but pale turquoise, that's all I know."

"Why are you looking at me like that," she asked.

"I'm just stunned that you can remember such little details of someone, not even me and some of the other staff can manage that," I replied with amazement

She smirked, "And people still wonder how I got into the top class." I merely chuckled a little.

I gladly answered, "I guess that would explain it," as I glanced at the time and realised it was almost nine o'clock at night.

"Okay, time for bed, scootaloo," I firmly remarked, and she frowned at me.

"Do I have to go to bed now I want to stay up a bit longer?" She remarked that, despite my immunity to that specific tactic from my time as an equestrian, she could still make the cutest expression possible.

She refused to move, so I grabbed her up and said, "No, I'm sorry, scootaloo, but it's a school day tomorrow meaning you have to be up early to make it on time."

"Seems like my plan worked," she said, and I was perplexed as I peered down at her.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked

I simply grinned at her response. "I just wanted you to carry me to bed so I didn't have to," she replied, sounding even more smug than before.

"You win this time," as I placed her in bed and covered her with the covers.

I shut the door and said "Scootaloo, sweet dreams, have a good sleep."

She said swiftly and nervously, "Good night, M-I mean Sunny," as I was closing the door.

Allies

After waking up, I headed to my apartment's appliance space and began preparing breakfast for Scootaloo and myself. While I was at it, I considered our plans for the day: since it was a bank holiday and we had the day off, we had some time to talk about Anon-a-miss and consider a possible list of individuals, given how many it could be.

I realised that I almost forgot to prepare the eggs, so I hastily cracked and began cooking a few of them. Just as I was humming to myself, I heard a door open.

"Good morning, Scootaloo," I replied, glancing over my shoulder to observe her yawning and with her eyelids itching.

"Good morning Sunny, what are you cooking?" After waking up and getting out of bed, she queried a little drowsily.

I happily answered, "Just some eggs, beans, and toast for us is all," but then I saw tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"ScootAloo what's wrong?" I questioned, worried that she must have been fairly well controlled while she was fully awake, but she seemed radically different, perhaps from exhaustion.

"I apologise, it's nothing, I'm okay," she said, attempting to hide her tears.

"Scootaloo that isn't going to work on me come on be honest what's wrong," I asked gently.

"It's just no one's ever made me breakfast before," While I was happy that it was happy tears, what she said was heartbreaking because no one had ever made her breakfast, and just by that mere action a parent should do made her come to tears even if it was happy one, turned to her.

I looked at her and said, playfully and happily, "Oh Scootaloo it's fine now turn that frown upside down cause we are meeting some people who I think you're going to be excited to see and talk to."

ScootAloo cynically remarked, "Who is it then? I can't wait to see who these people you think I want to meet are," while displaying an indifferent expression.

"You're going to regret that I can assure you, Now I am going to have to cover your eyes so you don't see while they enter is that ok with you?" I asked, teasingly, and she just gave me a blank expression.

She responded, "Fine only because it's meant to be a surprise," as I covered her eyes and blew a whistle to let the people inside.

I gradually opened Scootaloo's eyes as they entered the house and then heard a sound I should have anticipated.

"Oh my God oh my God oh my God, I'm a big fan of you two you are legends when it comes to the canterlot Football scene!!!" When Scootaloo saw the two people she almost adored as much as Rainbow Dash, she yelled with delight.

The fiery-haired woman grinned at Scootaloo and said, "Well, it's good to meet you. Miss Skies has told us how much you like us and seeing as we were coming round to see Miss skies we thought why not meet one of our fans."

"Thank you, I've always wanted to meet you too but why are you here to talk to sunny?" Scootaloo enquired, feeling both anxious and thrilled.

"Well you see some of our friends whose kids go to canterlot high have been distraught recently and due to most of them being busy they asked us to help out and see why the school is such an upheaval," the man with black hair said truthfully "and who else to ask but the consular of the school"

"I still don't know why you want to talk to me out of all the Staff at Canterlot high, I mean I'm the newest and the Best people to ask would be Celestia and Luna," I said.

"You see that's what we thought, however when we did go to them for answers they said to come to you as you have dealt with the most incidents related to how the school ended up as this jumble of mess" Spitfire assured me.

"Well she is right in that regard, I recommend taking a seat this is going to be something you need to be sat down for," I replied truthfully

"Please we take risks ever day when our bones can be broken when we are out on the pitch, whatever you have we can handle it" Soarin remarked with a grin.

"Whatever you say, but don't blame me for how you feel after," and then I began to discuss the circumstances that had brought us to this point, excluding any private information from when Anon-a-miss posted to the present.

After an hour

"That's horrible why the hell would they blame a girl when they have no proof that just makes me want to....nevermind" Spitfire said remembering Scootaloo was there.

"Soarin how are you feeling?" I inquired as to his well-being.

He was nauseated and worn out from what he had just heard, saying, "I now see why you asked for us to take a seat."

"Yea so what are you going to do now?" I asked, thinking they would just say to keep out of it.

With confidence, Spitfire added, "Help you out with anything you need," and Soarin merely nodded.

"Well you joined just in time for our first meeting about how to catch anon is happening tomorrow" I replied. Evidently taken aback by their desire to assist

I murmured, "one last thing, Could you stay for dinner? I think a certain someone wants to spend some more time with you," I added, and Scootaloo slowly went scarlet with embarrassment. They both stared at me.

They both gave each other a nod and said, "Yes, we have an extra hour."

Favors and A talk

Following our conversation, ScootAloo asked if she could spend the day with Sorein and Spitfire.

"You’re Lucky it's the weekend now or I would say no but if they are fine with taking you out for a while, I don't see the harm in it just be careful," I grinned down at her as the sweetest smile I've ever seen appeared on her face.

"Thank you Mo- I mean Skies!" When ScootAloo gave me a tight hug, I merely gave her a quiet glance before she grabbed her jacket and hurried over to Sorien and Spitfire, and I waved to them as they went.

My phone started ringing before I had a chance to consider what I could accomplish that day.

"Miss Skies Speaking," I said while taking a call.

"Hello, Sunny!" A jubilant Sonata screams from across the room. I merely chuckled a little.

"Hello, Sonata It's nice to hear from you. I take it that both you and your sisters are doing well? I inquire if Hopeful has mostly healed.

Sonata says, "You can ask them yourself," just before I hear her give Aria the phone.

With a hint of pride in her voice, Aria responded, "Yo Sunny, since you asked me and Adagio are back up and walking with confidence now basically recovered."

I inquired, feeling as though there was more to their call than just that, as I heard the phone being passed over once more. "Hehe, Well that's good to hear, Is that what you three were calling about that you recovered now,"

"I wish it was Miss Skies, However, we have a favour maybe two actually to ask of you even, We understand how much you've already done for us and will understand if you can't," Adagio replied with an even tone.

"Adagio, it's okay. You can come with your sister.to me for anything, keep in mind that I did promise the three of you that I would do all in my power to assist, so what's the favour?" I inquired, assuming it was a minor matter.

Adagio stated, "Well, the first one is re-entry into Canterlot High," in a voice that seemed to have a hint of Feae.

"I can go to Luna and Celestia about it however it will be difficult with what's going on but I'll try what's the second one," I mentioned that even though it would be very challenging to get them back in, I could still Talk with Luna and Celestia.

"This is the second one." Adagio said softly, "Can we move in with you? We don't want to stay here anymore." I was astonished, to be honest, but I understood why they wanted to leave the Shelter. Nevertheless, I hardly had enough room for myself and Scootaloo let alone the dazzlings as well.

"I'll see what I can do when it happens, but I can't promise anything," I hesitantly answered.

"That's all I ask of you to try as you've already done so much for us, I'll let you go now, It was nice talking to you miss skies," Adagio stated .

"Of course, Adagio. You can also call me Skies or Sunny, remember," I grinned.

"Of course, Talk to you later miss ski—I mean Skies" before the line fell silent.

As soon as the phone ca;; went Flat, I texted Celestia to see if she was available to talk. While I waited for a response, I put on my shoes and jacket and heard a beep from my phone. It was Celestia with a location to meet so we could talk. I left my house and headed to the address.

After two hours

Turning the last curve that led to the location, I noticed a lengthy road that led up past a little tree line. As I passed the tree line, I saw what looked like a tiny mansion. To put it mildly, I was taken aback.

The Dazzlings and Anon-a-miss were the only things on my mind as I passed the mansion's gates. Although it seemed like their search was going well at first, we had hit a small obstacle when we realised that Anon-a-miss had discovered that the person using the school computer wasn't a former student and that anyone who could walk and spell words could also access them.

I pressed the dove-shaped doorbell as soon as I arrived at the door. After waiting for around thirty seconds, Celestia opened the door and ushered me into the living room.

"So, Sunny, what are you wanting to talk about? It's usually important," Celestia remarked, her face composed.

"Well,you see, I ran into a few former Canterlot High pupils... Celestia appeared astonished and worried as I replied, "They were living on the streets, barely able to move; they almost looked lifeless."

She added, appearing to be in a panic, "Oh my God, are they okay now? I never thought that any of my students would become homeless enough to be considered lifeless."

"Indeed we can both agree there, Good news was I brought them to the shelter in time, and from what I can tell they have made a full recovery, Now the reason I have come to you today is that they asked me to see if they could come back to school," I replied gently and quietly.

"well given about their current situation, I don't see that much issue with them coming back I will need their names, ages, and guardians, however," Calmly, she said to me

I murmured carefully, waiting for Celestia's response, "Well promise not to freak out but their names are..... Aria, Sonata, and Adagio otherwise known as the Dazzlings."

"I'm sorry I thought you just said the Dazzlings?" Celestia inquired, presumably mishearing me.

"Yes, I did say the Dazzlings," I responded, starting to perspire a little.

I recalled that we had informed Celestia and Luna that The Dazzling had no magic pendants and that they were now just regular humans. "Well, while I honestly do not see an issue with them returning, the rest of the school will think a lot differently," she remarked calmly.

"Now there is another issue as well, Tia," I replied, addressing her by her given name.

She used my middle name in return, "And what is that Aphasia?"

"they don't have a guardian or Any form of ID on them," I added.

After a minute I heard someone smash a cup of tea on the floor.

An Offer (Short chapter)

Celestia dropped the teacup, and another minute went by. I had no idea what to say or do to try to calm her down because it seemed like she was angry. I was surprised at how slowly someone could drop a cup, but I was also afraid. After a minute, she sighed.

"Unfortunately That will be an entirely new issue itself if I remember correctly the Dazzlings have different last names, meaning they have different parents," she stated with a mixture of annoyance and calm

"Yes that is true but why is that an issue with getting them id exactly?" I spoke as though forging documents was commonplace, which in my opinion it was.

Her tone was concerned but calm as she stated, "Well, one faking any kind of document is illegal, and secondly, if they all came back, each would need a guardian as it implies they are under a different person unlike Sunset who was put down as 18 due to her ID and documents these girls have nothing of the sort and with how irate the School is will cause the police to investigate them as well and they will be taken away." To the best of my knowledge, her statements were accurate; they hadn't even joined the school; instead, they had brainwashed the faculty into believing they were

"Well now that you say that...... It is gonna be so hard to get them in without any suspicion from the Police" I replied worriedly.

"Indeed it will be unless you know someone who would adopt 3 Known trouble makers and expelled students" I jumped a little in my seat and spun around to see Luna there with a headset and a coffee mug.

"oh Luna it's just you, you scared me half to death women!, maybe let us know you're here next time," I told her while starring at her.

"hahaha, Please Tia knew I was here, blame her for letting me do it," Laughing, she added as Celestia turned her head away from me.

"Not Funny, Tia," I addressed her.

"I am sorry but I needed something to make this less tense and that was the best option I could think of Aphaisa," she grinned.

"Okay, you're right there," before realising what Luna had said.

"So Lulu hypothetical what if a member of The Faculty Adopted them?" Luna gave me a look that said, 'You better not be thinking what I think you are,' as I asked innocently.

"Sunny Why did you ask that, I ponder, before I respond to your question." She stated quietly.

"No reason," I murmured, but my response fell short.

"Sunny, I can't stop you from doing what you want but I don't recommend adopting those 3 mainly because they are trouble makers only reason I would let them back in is if there were desperate which from what you say, they are" With a gloomy attitude, she said

I said with some confidence, knowing that it would be a lot to do and that I have no experience being a mum, but I have to try and help all five of them even though four of them hated me as Sunset. "I know Lulu, Tia, I have to, I know their is good in them I can try to make them better, able to stand on their own two feet," I said.

"seeing as I can tell you won't stop even if we try to make yoy, we will support you all the way, as that is what friends are for, speaking of I have a solution to one of your problems specifically the apartment," she stated with encouragement and glee

I stated firmly and decisively, "I'm not taking money from you to get a new one; that would be something I can't ask of you."

"hahaha oh I know you won't which is why I'm offering you and the others to move in with me, Lulu, Trixie, Sombra and Chrissy, we have about 10 empty rooms we don't use and it gets, lonely with just five of us," She stated quietly. Before I could say anything, I noticed a name that I was not familiar with.

"If it was anyone else I would say no but with how much you try to help someone I don't think I have a choice with what I have currently, I agree One question however?" I said, trying to look calm.

"Sure what is it dear?" Tia stated

"Just who exactly is Chrissy?"

The Third

"Well that is an excellent question Sunny dear but it will most likely be best if she answered it herself isn't that right Chrissy?" Celestial replies as she peers across the room at a shadowy corner just before a woman with sharp green eyes and dark green hair with dark greyish-black skin emerged.

"Indeed it is Tia who best to tell our dear friend about me than myself" Chrissy Said while walking out the Corner and joining Celestia on the Sofa sitting next to her

"Well, this is unexpected, but how nice it is to meet you, Chrissy," I remarked softly, shaking her hand. She seemed irritated as she glanced at me.

"It's nice to meet you two, but Chrissy is really only a the nickname. given to me by these two fools," the woman remarked.

"Good to know so what is your real name then?" I inquired

"well I have my Birth name which I don't use anymore and my Married name," she murmured.

"well what are those names," I replied.

"my birth name is Crystalize Iris Everfree, and my married name is Chrysalis Iris me amore," She stated to say I was confused because I had heard the name previously, but that was when Cadence became a princess. If they both have the same name, who is this woman, given that she also shares the same last name as Luna and Celestia?

"Well nice to meet your Crystalize, are you related to Tia and Lulu by your last name," I said.

"Indeed I am the oldest of us three and have to make sure these two idiots don't do anything stupid, which has never worked so far," She spoke with a tired tone, but when she mentioned the oldest, I had to look again because a third sister had never been mentioned before, thus whatever had happened to her happened before the three tribes joined.

"Well, what is your job then, just curious as I don't think you work at the school," with a broad curious expression.

"if you must know I am a Cyber security engineer meaning I make sure no one can get past any covered websites for private data along with the occasional hacking of the hacker's camera and video it pays well overall one skill I picked up which will help you is I can make fake documents however I could lose my job if caught," She spoke in a direct and serious manner.

"which is why you have to decide now if you want to adopt them cause I don't have a good amount of time to make all the documents needed before my computer, is checked," She stated quietly, and I was taken aback that she was willing to abandon her work to assist me.

She might have been their sister, but I didn't know her at all. "Why would you do that, no offence but we just met and you don't seem like the type to help out strangers," I said suspiciously.

"Because I would rather you and your adopted children have a chance at a life.... most of my children were not as lucky," She remarked, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and I felt bad for needing to ask her why.

"I am...Sorry for your loss Crystalize" I apologised in general for her misfortune.

"It's alright. It was my fault for abandoning kids with their insane father a long time ago," she stated, nearly mumbled. Spitting Venom at The last part

Knowing all too well how long-forgotten memories may affect people's behaviour, I remarked, "I won't even ask, about him as I can tell it is a less than Calm subject."

"I appreciate you doing it. Anyway, enough about me. I will provide the docs to you under one requirement. Crystalize spoke out, staring directly at me.

"What would that be chrysalis?" I asked out of genuine interest but also concern.

She calmly stated, "All five of them have to agree to be adopted by you," as I took a double take.

"I only mentioned four girls. No offence, Crystalize," I answered, not understanding what she was getting at.

"Oh please don't deny the fact you have been secretly looking after and caring for a certain multi-colored-haired girl," She stated that she seemed to have more confidence now. I was astonished not so much by what she said as by the fact that she knew about it while Rainbow and I spoke to each other primarily in private. Tia and Lulu both gave me looks which just screamed, 'Did we just hear your looking after Rainbow dash as well?'

"Well, what do you have to say to that Sunny skies?" She declared herself to be proud.

"How Much Did You Hear"

"I know enough to understand what she's gone through," Crystalize boasted, as though she was proud to know such a personal detail. She was pinned against a wall before I realised what was going on, before Tia and Lulu had to step between us in order to pry me away from her.

I gripped my fists tightly, preparing to pound her in the face if she said anything more about Rainbow. "You Do Not Have the Right to Know Any of That," I said.

"On the contrary My dear, I don't know any of it," She remarked, grinning at me. Now, Lulu and Tia were as perplexed as I was.

"You think I would stoop that low to Advance on someone's personal life, well that was just a little test to see how you would react to knowing I breached Rainbow's Private life, I was expecting maybe a talking to or shouting at, however, you exceeded that by just Fully trying to beat me, that is something I can admire and something I would expect a mother would do for her child," Chrissy said with a slight brushing of her forearm.

"You did all that for a Test!" I yelled at her. I don't shout as much as I used to as Sunny Skies, so Lulu and Tia were shocked by my response, but Chrissy merely gave me a sidelong glance and giggled a little.

Although I didn't like her methods thus far, I couldn't say they didn't work because they are based on instinct and emotion. "Indeed I did I wanted to make sure you would be a parent who protects them and not like my ex-husband," she said, her demeanour composed but downcast.

Chrissy spoke bluntly and with a brushing arm, "Now you're gonna have to create a background for each of the Dazzlings as their last Guardians are unknown if you are to take legal custody of them."

"Well maybe they lived in the woods the house they lived in would likely have been torn apart and most likely never reported missing due to their isolation, it would be the best route to go with the dazzlings, for the other two it is entirely up to them to decide," Chrissy said with a focus on the Decided phrase

"Well, I just got to say thank you your Chrissy for all the help with well, everything this has helped solve some of the bigger issues I had with adopting them," I said happily as I hugged She seemed shocked but gave me a hug in return as we emerged from our embrace.

"Don't stress dear, I already lost 4 of my children and am not letting 5 more end up on the low end because I stood by" Sincerely, she stated That is to say, soon after Tia and Lulu left the room, leaving only Crystalize and myself, she turned to face them and nodded.

"Sit down dear you will need it for what I'm about to tell you," Chrissy replied. I could tell as soon as I sat down what it was about.

"Crystalize Do not tell me what happened to them, please," I replied, glancing into her teary eyes.

"It's alright. I insist that you be informed about it." Crystalline began to cry before she could say anything else, so I hurried over to give her a hug and tried to console her as best I could. Tia and Lulu then entered and helped comforted her.

"Could I know their names at least?" I questioned Tia

"Their names were, Uvenus, Ocellus, Cadenza, and the twin's Pharynx and Thorax"

Acceptance

When I returned to my flat after leaving the mansion, Scootoloo wasn't there, which I was relieved about because I knew where she was anyhow. She had gone to Dinky's place for the ideal overnight, so I went up to my desk, opened it and took the assortment of things from inside.

I looked at the bundle of clothes and saw that it included a black leather jacket and clothes I had worn when I first came into this world. The other items were belonging to friends or former friends, whom I miss terribly but can never have again. Nevertheless, it didn't matter because my actions had caused harm to this world, and I had to make amends. Although my new life isn't as nice as my old one, I would still rather be Sunny Skies over Sunset Shimmer because, for once, I feel like I belong.

That's when I made the decision to simply bring everyone with me on the trip to the mansion; everything else may remain here unaltered for the future owner. In any case, I currently have five individuals who are more significant to me than some past experiences that I can't even get back.

My phone began to vibrate at that point, and when I answered, I could hear Adagio on the other side.

"So how did it go?" Despite her firm tone, I could tell she was apprehensive when she asked me.

I asked, hoping she would say yes, "I'll tell you about it tomorrow if you and your sister could meet me at Sugercube Corner," since I wanted all five of them to be there when I informed them.

Okay, you're fortunate. Sonata thinks highly of you," I sighed as it quickly became apparent to me how difficult it would be for them to say yes, and she hung up, probably heading to bed.

I emailed Rainbow and Scootoloo instead of calling them since I knew they were probably asleep. After that, I packed up my old stuff and stowed it back in my drawer, as well as packed up Scootoloos' and my items in preparation for our transfer tomorrow, before going to bed.

The following day

I got up early in order to prepare for the meeting with all the girls at Sugercube Corner. As I carried my belongings downstairs to the apartment lobby, I noticed Filthy Rich. He glanced at me, then at my belongings and then back at me before grinning and approaching me.

"I take it you and Scootoloo will be leaving then," He stated more information than a query.

"Don't get me wrong, we are, but unfortunately I'm grateful that you allowed me to live here with Scootoloo, Mr Rich, but let me just say that I'll soon have a lot more people to take care of, and the flat isn't big enough for all of us. I'm sure you understand." I expressed my hope that he would, but all he did was nod.

"I understand Miss Skies, I wish you and those in your care good luck, you can keep this month's rent you will need it more than me, I have more than enough," I was grateful that he let me to keep the month's rent; it may not have been much, but any amount helped, he remarked with a smile before turning to leave. That's when I heard a loud noise, and as I was leaving the apartment complex, I saw Chrissy waving at me from a car not far away.

"Christsy Chrissy got out of the car and came over to me. "What a pleasant surprise, I doubt you drove all the way here just to talk to me," I replied.

With a sly smile on her lips and a quiet sigh, Chrissy replied, "hahaha, Indeed I came to help you with moving as Tia and Lulu are busy with some paperwork for the First-day back at school tomorrow."

With a calm smile on my face, I answered, "Well, that's thoughtful of you Chrisyalis, Thank you for Helping as I was worried I might have to leave some of the Items behind but with your car should have enough room to get it all to the Mansion," before Chrisyalis got laughing.

"Well, it's the least I could do, haha." How many rooms you would need to set up and decorate," she remarked, grinning at me as it gradually dawned on me that she was right and how difficult it would be given their wide range of interests and themes.

"Well Am most likely gonna let each of them Decorate their rooms how they want, As while I know all Five of them It would probably both take less time and end up being more permanent if they did it themselves, Also Gives them something to do While they Trying to settle into the Mansion As It will be a Massive Change for all of them" I calmly replied to Chrisyalis

"Well, Chrissy sarcastically said, "Are you sure you've never been a mother before meeting any of these? You seem to be able to know what to say at the Right Time."

I got in the car and yelled angrily, "Just drive to the shelter already need to pick them up first," before we drove there.

Chrissy got out of the car as we pulled up outside the shelter, and I went inside while she stayed by her car.

Lance the Boy, who was always working at the desk when I came to visit the girls, was there as soon as I went in.

"Miss Skies so good to see you again here to Visit the Girls again?" He inquired informally.

He glanced at me nonplussed. "That's partly true this time around, Lance. I'm here to get them out of here," I stated frank.

Before entering the Dazzlings Room, I nodded to Lance sympathetically and said, "Not even surprised at this point, Miss Skies, to be honest with how much you visit them and how much those 3 appreciate and admire you I knew Sooner or Later it was going to happen, explains while they have had all the Items packed away ready to go a place they call home, You can go in and grab them."

"So who's ready to move into a mansion!" I yelled, and there was a pause of eight seconds before all three of them started shouting.

"Move Into a WHAT!!!"

Explanations

"What do you mean by mansion?" Aria let out a high-pitched shriek.

"For once, I am with her; what do you mean by mansion? There must be a joke here, right? "Your Joking, right?" Adagio stated bluntly as she glared at Sunny.

"Oh, how excited I am! If it's a genuine mansion, I get to decorate my own room!" Sonata said, happily chuckling to herself.

I saw that they had most of their belongings packed away, which would have saved me a great deal of hassle, but I hadn't told them that I was picking them up. Despite this, I decided to wait a minute so they could calm down. I had just told them about the Mansion, and judging by their loudness, it seems they are excited about it.

"I must ask why are you already packed up, I never told you I was picking you all up?" I inquire, pondering why they had been wrapped up.

"ooh I can answer that!" Sonata said excitedly as her sisters nodded. "You see after everything you had done for us we were thinking of trying to get our own place or at least jobs to help support you, after all we can't thank you enough for what you've done for us so far, you've given us a mostly Normal life after we all thought we wouldn't even have one much longer" I was both honoured and saddened by their belief that they had to pay me back when I glanced at them.

Aria clenched her fist in what appeared to be rage as I replied, smiling, "That is very admirable of you all for wanting to do such a thing however, you do not need to repay me for any of this its what any decent person should do in this kind of situation."

"No!, there has to be someway for us to repay, we will not just sit back and Leech off of you for free!, we need to do something to repay you!" Aria screamed, looking as though she was determined to pay me back.

That's when it dawned on me that the Equestria Sirens were known for being a highly arrogant and proud race, constantly giving back to anyone who had assisted them in some way. Now it all made sense as to why they felt the need to pay me back.

"Well, in that case, I just have one thing I would like to ask of you," I stated firmly.

Adagio pleaded, "What is it, please tell us," which was unusual to witness considering how she normally

I said to them, "Let me be your carer while you relive your high school experience at Canterlot High." Their expressions all went blank for a few seconds before they embraced me.

Sonata responded, "Of course you can," with tears streaming down her cheeks as I caressed her hair. I wasn't used to consoling people, but it seemed to have helped; the other two remained silent for a good few minutes before they broke the hug.

"I have a question," Adagio asked.

"Which is?" I mentioned

"Why did you ask for us to meet you at Sugercube corner if you came to pick us up?" I realised as soon as she asked that I had asked Scoots and Dash to meet me there yesterday along with the sisters, but I had forgotten everything that was going on.

"it's so I can introduce you all to the other 2 kids under my care, they are students at Canterlot high so can help you around the school and maybe even help get you some friends, they will be staying in the mansion with us, I just haven't told them yet as i was meant to tell you all at sugercube corner but forgot in the excitement, we better get going so we don't miss them" We said goodbye to Lance as I picked up a few of the girls' bags, and they nodded and followed along with their other stuff to the car.

"So these are the other 3 you've taken under your so called wing of care" When Chrissy laughed a little at the way she explained what I was doing for them, I simply rolled my eyes because the girls seemed interested.

I introduced them to her one by one, "Yes, Chrissy, there are three: Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk, Girls, this is Chrysalis, otherwise known as Chrissy," I added, giggling a little because I knew Chrysalis both liked and despised the nickname.

Chrissy helped load the girls' bags into the car as we all got in. "Yes, yes, such an imposing figure has a nickname which inspires nothing but weakness but i like it for How I earned it, which is a story for another time," Chrissy remarked.

I said, not wanting to divulge who it was because I wanted it to be a surprise and I wasn't sure how the dazzlings would react to one of them being Rainbow. "Next stop is Sugercube corner Chrissy as these 3 need to be introduced to the other 2 under my care."

"Its only a couple blocks away should be there in no time" I simply shook my head in response to Chrissy's smugly obvious pride in how well she understood the rules and how quickly her automobile could go.

After arriving at Sugercube Corner, it took eight minutes.

"Okay girls, I don't know if the others have arrived yet, so let's go grab a booth to sit in for now." I replied, getting out of the car with Chrissy and the girls trailing behind.

But even with only eight people through the door, I was taken aback by a few who were really animated.

"Hey guys! Greetings from Sugercube Corner. I can't wait to see you! Would it be possible for me to provide you or the Dazzlings a cupcake or perhaps a VIP booth?" Being quite excited in comparison to our previous conversation, Pinkie replied

"Oh pinkie you never fail to bring someone a little happiness, it's so good to see you doing better then last time I saw you" I stated before suddenly remembering something "Wait how did you know the Dazzlings were with me?" I asked her right away, anticipating one of her typical answers.

"Just a hunch," she exclaimed with excitement as the dazzlings were astonished as well as bewildered.

"Well I won't try to make sense of it I've been told not to by Tia and Lulu, so am gonna take their advice, I do have a question though are the others here?" Even if she wasn't told, I knew she would probably know who I mean, so I asked already.

"Yes, they are along with shyl! After they made up, she now holds the same views as Dashie." Pinkie exclaimed, "It's good to hear they're already hanging out together again." Rainbow had previously told me about their contact with Fluttershy.

"Could you lead me to them by chance?" "Now I need you three to promise me you won't get into a fight with the other 2 people you are meeting understood," I said to them as they were behind me. Pinkie just nodded as I continued to follow behind her.

They all nodded, and I noticed Chrissy nodding at me from behind them, only saying, "I'll make sure they won't."

I then heard Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy telling Scootaloo about the time they prevented a dog from falling out of a tree. Naturally, Rainbow portrayed it as a huge, amazing adventure, with Fluttershy interjecting occasionally to correct her.

"Well, it looks like you had quite the adventure rescuing that dog," I observed, noting that the dazzlings had looked suspicious before becoming angry at Rainbow and shy, but that they had remained cool and collected when they saw Rainbow, Scoots, and Shy.

"Yeah it really was a fun adventure, so why are they here?" Quietly, and clearly curious, Fluttershy said

"Because what I have to tell Scootaloo and rainbow dash also involves them, I will have to ask you ans Pinkie to leave this room for now as it concerns private matters" I told them in the hopes that they would listen

The Dazzlings took seats across from Rainbow and Scootaloo while I stood in the centre next to the table. Fluttershy then turned to face Rainbow, who nodded at her, before shy and Pinkie both left the room. I then turned to face Chrissy and looked at her before turning to face the door. Chrissy understood right away and went to make sure no one entered the room.

"To start off with what do you all think about me adopting you"

The Five

They all screamed the same word almost simultaneously after I said that statement.

"What!" They all yelled, which didn't surprise me, but I wasn't used to hearing so many people yell so close to me.

In an attempt to calm them down and listen, I said, "Please Calm down and let me explain first don't panic or go wild till after ive explained I implore you." Surprisingly, they all did so very quickly, sitting together for a minute.

"We'll listen but don't take it as we accept, we just want to hear you out as you've done so much for us already its the least we could do" Sonate Said attempted to maintain her neutrality, but since discovering the dazzlings, it appeared that they had adopted Sonata as their "Leader" rather than Adagio as they had done during the Battle of the Bands.

Speaking for herself and Scootaloo, Rainbow stated, "Me and Scoots are more than happy to hear you out given everything you've helped us both with."

I admitted that Rainbow seemed surprised by this, not realising that Scootaloo had been living with me along with the dazzlings, who were looking among themselves with the new found information. "Well as Rainbow knows, I have been checking up on the dazzlings every couple of days making sure they are fed and looked after in the state I found them in. I have also been helping rainbow and Scootaloo with some of their more....personal issues even letting Scootaloo stay with me," I said.

"So you've rounded up everyone you've been directly assisting? What relevance does this have to do with you adopting us?" Scootaloo remained silent over the entire conversation before speaking at last.

"I just want to clarify what I mean by adopt, I've already accepted I can't replace your parents, I would more adopt you in terms of me being your guardian, main reason why is cause everyone of you Currently or wishes to attend Canterlot high, one of its requirements is that everyone has a Guardian or parent, all of which you do not have" I replied sorrowfully

I sighed, "I'll give you all some space to decide the reason I brought you all here is because this would mean living with and tolerating each other at best, so discuss between yourselves as long as you want," as I left the private room. Chrissy was waiting outside, making sure no one would disturb us as she had promised. The dazzlings appeared to be staring at the necklaces that contained their shattered gems. Rainbow, on the other hand, simply stared out the window, tears slowly streaming down one side of her cheek.

"Thank you Chrissy for making sure we were given the space and time required for such a delicate discussion... now all I can do it wait to be told their answer to my question" I remarked with a bit of optimism.

---------------—------------------------------

Rainbow Dash's perspective

I made the decision to break the unbroken stillness as I forced myself to look away from the glass and away from the Dazzlings gathered together and Scoots fidgeting with her hands.

"Quite a Choice She's given us isn't it" I said, a little amused at the dazzlings' response to my words and the way the Scoots were staring up at me.

"Indeed it is a life changing choice to say the least, a Choice I always thought would never be needed" Adagio expressed frustration yet hope.

"You can say that Again Sis, this was the least of what I expected to be brought up at this meeting between fellow care residents" Aria laughed.

"Well, I say we accept it—we might not get the opportunity to accept such assistance again! Cel-I mean, god knows how long it might take before such an opportunity presents itself, particularly when it involves someone as wonderful as Miss Skies," Sonata remarked, savouring her eternal bliss.

Scootaloo confessed, "Since I moved in with her a few weeks ago, I've pretty much already been seeing and treating her like my guardian. They've been some of the best I've had, which of course hasn't been with you rainbow." This made me happy that I could still play a major role in Scootaloo's life, despite the fact that she looks up to and idolises so many other people.

It both alarmed and intrigued me that Skies would say, "Well, given how much she's helped through some of the more personal issues I was having till later along with just how kind and generous she's been to me, I just don't have the heart to say no." Given how frequently we would hang out and how rarely she was not joyfully

"Then we are all in Agreement then, When Skie comes back though that door we will giver her our answer, are we all in agreement?" Nearly everyone raised their hand when I asked, with the exception of Aria, but before I could inquire why, I witnessed Adagio give Aria a quick slap before she too raised her hand.

"Well, Miss Skies, that makes sense! You can arrive when you're ready to make a call, but it functions. Despite all the yelling and polite disagreements, I spoke up, hoping she would hear me.

-----------‐-----------------------------------.

Point of View of Sunny Skies

I was pacing back and forth outside the booth door as anxiety gradually but steadily took over my body.

"You can come in now Skies, we are ready to give our response" Sports like voice that most obviously belonged to rainbow dash

"The answer we have is"

A surprising Answer

Author's Note

New chapter and a quick announcement as well, What I like to call the rewritten Rework has been completed with all chapters being so called 'rewritten' with Grammar corrections and better structure

A surprising Answer

Rainbow began, "The answer we have is," but Scootaloo abruptly interrupted.

"Why are you doing this?"

"What do you mean by that, I've already explained why." Gazing at Scootaloo, I expressed my confusion as to why she would pose such a question.

"Not really; you've explained why we should and why it's necessary, but why would you specifically want to adopt the five of us as your 'Daughters' when we don't even know you?, all we really know about you is that you're a consular at Rainbow's and mine school! what all five of us here really need to ask ourselves is 'Why you?' Out of all the people we know and have grown comfortable to, why should some random woman from Whitetail help us after only knowing us for a month or so? The Dazzlings, as you mentioned, were found by you at the mall, and you took them to the shelter. That's it! Nothing more. You hardly know us, no offence intended." The only reason I wanted to help them was because I knew them from when I was Sunset, but that isn't a valid reason here, I reminded myself silently, without any plausible explanation for why I made my request. Scootaloo made me realise how trapped in a corner I was.

The other girls' expressions were all over the place after Scootaloo said before she left, "Your silence tells me all I need to know." Sonata appeared worried, Adagio was even worse, glancing at me indifferently, Aria was just staring out the window, either processing what had been said or getting tired of it all, and Rainbow appeared to be deep in thought. I took a deep breath before finally sitting down at the table, not having the mental strength to stand much longer after what Scootaloo said to me and the others.

"She has a point, you know?" Rainbow finally spoke. "I know we have all opened up to you in one way or another, but we... don't really know you. The only thing we know about you is that you're from Whitetail, that you're twenty-one, that you're our new consular at Canterlot High, and that you've become friends with some of the staff," she said, and I instantly understood what she meant. That concludes it. I wanted to give her something, any response at all, but she wasn't wrong. I had absolutely nothing.

When Sonata eventually said, "It was quite out of the blue, even for a decent person to do," I turned my gaze from rainbow to her.

"What do you mean exactly?" I questioned, not quite understanding what she meant.

Adagio remarked, "I think I understand what she means," just before Aria spoke for the first time in a long time and eventually turned away from the window she was peering out of.

"Sonata is the only one of us three who sees you as a guardian; me and Adagio see you more as an outsider who show far greater interest in us than she should. What she means is that you went above and beyond for us three, more than any other decent person would, even Celestia wouldn't do what you did for us, checking up on us every few weeks, risking your job and reputation to let us get back to Canterlot High. None of it adds up. We will accept your offer However, we won't start calling you mum or entrusting you with our personal matters anytime soon. even though Rainbow and that little youngster share the same views to ours." Aria spoke up with a firmness that surprised me because she was typically more reserved and more egocentric of the three.

"I hate to say it but I also share a similar opinion" Rainbow began "I know us two have shared quite a lot of personal issues and troubles but, we still don't know each other too much either besides personal Feelings and issues we've never really sat down and talk as just friends let alone mother and daughter, at best we are people who have just become friends, nothing even close to what your trying to do, like Aria said am not saying no to your offer but it isn't gonna start making me think of She concluded Lightly

"I wish I had something more to give as a reason but am not gonna lie or make up an excuse you all have a right to be suspicious of me or at least not trust me, as you have said we don't really know each other at all, other then a few personal moment or acts of helpfulness, am glad your at least fine with me becoming your guardian, but I promise to try to take it slow from now on, no more surprises, no more major decisions, I'll talk to Scootaloo once I let you all be on you way, wherever she is" I said honestly as they all nodded cautiously

Two students and a reunion between family

Sunset ran back to her Apartment, overwhelmed as to why her friends didn't believe her. As she entered her flat, she wrote about what had happened to Twilight.

'They didn't believe you; how could they be so careless and blind?' Sunset noticed that the writing was rather more slanted than usual, signalling that Twilight was extraordinarily angry.

'This is fine. I wasn't expecting them to believe me considering the number of times that they'd blamed me and how unstable the mob was at CHS' She finished writing and waited for a relatively composed response.

'You can come stay in Equestria for a couple of days,' was the last message she was expecting from Twilight, considering her desire to avoid facing Princess Celestia again.

'Twilight, am not sure if that would be a good idea, with Celestia undoubtedly still disappointed in me,' Sunset replied, believing Celestia despise her.

'What are you talking about? She's immensely worried about you. When I returned through the portal, the very first question was, "Are you you okay?" Twilight answered. Sunset was taken aback. At worst, she presumed, Celestia would despise her; at most, she would just be disappointed. She hadn't imagined she was concerned about her.

'I guess I'll come and stay for a few days if I can stay in your castle and I'm not forced to speak with Celestia.' Sunset, who now knew the princess didn't despise or even feel let down by her, reacted with excitement at the prospect of being able to see what Equestria looks like.

'Could you come now or are you going to be otherwise engaged in your world?' Twilight inquired through the book.

'No, I don't believe that. If you're interested, I can come see you right now' Knowing that her friends had betrayed her, Sunset knew she had no plans for the weekend and wrote to Twilight to let her know.

Twilight told her, 'Okay, I'll go set up the mirror; now see you when you come through.'

After going towards CHS with her bag for four minutes, Sunset found herself standing in front of the identical statute that had brought her into the world.

As she passed through, Sunset reminded herself, "Okay, time to go home."

Conversely, sunset's perspective

"Twilight, a bit of help, please." I was able to stand up for myself after calling out when attempting to receive my hoofing. Twilight was staring up at me, her jaw agape, at that moment. How is she staring up at me, I wonder? When I last saw her, we were about the same height.

"Twilight you there?" I hoof-waved to her and said. It was then that she leaped back.

"Sorry, sunset, it's just that you look taller, and um, you might want to look at what's on your back." She stated it cautiously and apologetically at the same time.

What's on my back, then? I pondered when I noticed that I had two nearly identical-sized fire wings on my back when I turned to face Twilight. "Twilight, where's the closest bed or sofa?" I inquired quietly.

"Behind you, why do you ask?" Wondering why I would want to know, she asked.

No reason," I said as I approached it and then immediately passed out on top of it.

50 minutes later

"Wake up, Sunset!" With her royal voice, Twilight screamed at me.

"I'm up!" I shouted loudly to get her to stop.

"Good, now I know you're not going to like what I'm about to send to someone, but we need answers, and only one person may know the answer, Spike!" As Spike ran in

"Yeah, twi, oh hi, sunset, wait, sunset, why are you so tall and how do you have wings?" Upon Spike's question, I simply said, "I don't know either; I just do it for some reason." I was honest with him; I had no idea how I got wings.

Twilight said, "Spike, send this letter to the Princess," and a few seconds later Spike did.

"What twilight I said I would come as long as you didn't force me to talk to Celestia!" I said that I felt duped.

In a soft, sympathetic voice, she said, "That was before you grew tall and somehow had wings of fire; you and I know only Celestia may have the answer."

"I hate it when you're right," I murmured, well aware that Celestia was probably the only one with the solution.

"Sunset, you are back." The lady who I considered to be like a mother was standing there when I heard a familiar voice say it from behind me.

With tears in my eyes and my voice breaking, I said the name of Princess Celestia.

"Little Sun" She put me in a deep embrace and began to stroke my hair, saying, "You've come home."

4 minutes of hugging and crying later

All I could utter was, "Princess, how did I?" before a white hoof covered my mouth.

She gasped at the last word and was dumbfounded that I could call her mom. "No formal title; you are to call me Celestia, Tia, or if you want Mom," she whispered softly with twilight gasping at the last Word.

"Mom, why do I look like this?" After a minute of silence, I questioned her.

She whispered to me, "You are the bearer of magic, which is why you are like this."

"Yet Twilight carries magic that defies logic," I remarked, perplexed as to how Twilight and I could both possess magic.

"That's because you are the human world bearer of magic," she stated concisely and exactly.

"There's a bearer of each in both worlds." Her next response startled me but also made more sense when I inquired.

"No, while each element chooses the bearer in our world, in the human world you are the person who chooses who gets what element other than the element of magic; of course, that's why your old friends were able to use them because you let them without realising it." She told me.

"Then how did they use the elements when they defeated me?" I enquired.

She asked, glancing at Twilight, "Because you were not the only bearer of magic, were you in your world at the time?"

She informed Twilight and me, "But the portal has finally given your real age back, which is why you are so tall."

"Would that mean I would be a human adult on the other side if I went through again?" I inquired

"Most likely, yes, you would be a 23-year-old human adult," she stated to me.

I said, "Good to know," and turned to return to the couch before passing off once more.

Surprise

Rarity didn't talk as much as she usually does; the only other time she has done so is when she's trying to think of a way to get an easier punishment, even though she got herself a much harsher one instead with the reasons she did give as justification. I left the staff toilets after using it to calm down a little so I wouldn't be as tense when talking to Pinkie. As I was walking, I just thought about what other reason there could have been as I walked in the direction of my office.

When I opened the door, Celestia was sitting in my seat with Pinkie across from her, which was to be expected. What wasn't expected, though, was Pinkie's perfectly straight hair. I remembered that I had asked Celestia to stay with Pinkie until I got there. I turned to face Celestia, who had now got up and was nodding at me with a worried expression. I gave her another nod and motioned for her to step aside so I could speak with her. I Found it Concerning at Pinkie's lack of reaction as she didn't even look up to see who had entered the room. I then went to my chair and took a seat.

"Pinkie are you ok?"I questioned her softly and gently, and as she raised her eyes to meet mine, it became obvious that something was wrong since they were, to put it lightly, empty.

"Do I look ok to you Miss Skies?" I was taken aback by her statement, as she never addressed any of the the teachers as Miss or Mr., and her demeanour was icy in contrast to Pinkie's exuberant and cheerful demeanour, I was accustomed to.
"Honestly no you do not, however, I spoke with the Rainbooms and your reason for fighting them, however, I don't think they told the truth so how about you tell me why you fought the?" As I was speaking, she looked up at me, and I noticed that her eyes were a little less lifeless than they had been. I inquired, attempting to mimic her cheerful and upbeat demeanour.

Her tone had softened from earlier. "What reasons did they give you and ill tell you if they left something out," she asked.

"Well the first reason has to do with Sunset Shimmer the person people have blamed even though there is no evidence and yes I don't think it's her before you ask, they said they were discussing what your group should do to expose her"
I informed her quietly, and she gave me a look of frustration.

"Looks like you were right seeing as it wasn't just that, it was also me asking where she had been, even though people found a note saying she's gone back to where she was raised but people say that its a lie, I told them that if it's true she's innocent but they just discarded it before they said there was something else and it was to do with kicking Rainbow out of our friend circle" She started crying as she was saying the last line, so I got up and went to console her.

She sobbed even more after saying, "Why did this happen, why are they so blinded by what happened in the past"

She looked so broken, and while I was drying her tears, I told her, "It's okay they are the ones in the wrong unfortunately I will need to punish you still even if you were defending a friend in your eyes, but fighting isn't tolerated on school grounds." Most people assumed Pinkie's signature cry when someone was upset was real, but this time it was very real, and it broke my heart before I thought of a way that could help.

"Hi Pinkie, How would you feel about speaking with Rainbow once more?" I inquired, figuring that talking to Rainbow would help her feel more at ease, and she gave me a hopeful expression.

"I can apology to Dashie," she inquired, and I Shook my head.

"You don't need to. She still considered you a friend when I talked to her this morning. She knows you two are still friends," As I mentioned Rainbows thoughts, she hugged me back.

She responded, "Thank you for telling me that, Sunny," with some tears of happiness in her eyes. I was relieved that she was calling me by my name instead of Miss, but it made me sound older than I actually was and a little odd. I realised she had reverted to her usual behaviour.

It was good to know that another of my former friends didn't think it was me. The note about my being in Equestria seems to not have worked as well as Twilight hoped it would, but at least it's made some difference in the opinions of a couple of students. "Ok we'll go and get her when her period ends in 20 minutes ok in the meantime we can do some fun stuff," I said, smiling at her. She just nodded.

This is a tiny bit shorter Chapter due to what I have planned in the next chapter

Shock (Mini chapter)

I had spoken so low that only Trixie could hear me, which was the only reason people were still talking and not freaking out. She still looked horrified, but for a few seconds, I saw a tiny bit of red smoke coming out of the corner of her eye. She shook her head and continued speaking so low that only I could hear.

"I don't know what you are talking about, if the story you just told me is to be believed it would mean that Princess Luna's daughter is dead" I was thinking of the Human world as mine and not Equestria at that point, which shocked me at how I had moved on and how I hadn't noticed when I said it earlier. I shook my head a little and noticed Trixie looking confused because I could tell she knew what I was talking about and the fact the smoke just added to my theory that my world and Equestria are indeed parallel.

"Sorry for the space out and head shaking but anyway, are you sure you don't know what I'm talking about?" I spoke again at a normal volume as the others stopped to observe us.

"The great and powerful Trixie is sure, she doesn't know what you are talking about," She spoke so confidently that I would have accepted her statement if I hadn't known that Trixie was Luna's daughter in my world. As I considered that, I realised that I was thinking of it as my world once more, but I had more important things to take care of.

"Oh really you have no idea what I'm talking about, oh great and powerful one," I remarked sarcastically. She briefly had a furious expression on her face.

"You dare mock the great and powerful Trixie who do you think you are!" I could understand why there were so many gasps in the room because I was taller than her and had my flame wings out, making her appear weak and small in contrast.

"No of course not, why would a mock someone who's so weak and who lied about saying they don't know anything, yeah, that's right, I didn't believe you when you said you didn't know what I was talking about earlier," I remarked, mockingly in the first part and using a more serious tone in the second.

To say that I was taken aback by what she had said—"For the last time I don't know anything about Emerald Moon you bucking Idiot"—was an understatement. I knew she would address me directly, just like my Trixie, if she became enraged, but I never imagined that she would curse at me for it. That's when I became aware of what she had said.

"Who's Emerald Moon?" She appeared to have spoken something she knew she shouldn't have said when I asked.

We all turned to watch Luna as she stated, "How do you know that name?" in such a collected manner, yet it seemed like she was ready to make a decision she would later regret.

"What do you know whose name that is Sister?" Celestia questioned her.

"Oh do I know whose name that is, how couldn't I after all a mother never forgets what she named her child"
