The two top authoritative figures studied, with uncertainty and concern, at the loose curled fiery haired girl's back as she left the office with her late pass. The principals had tried to get the stubborn teen to confess what happened. Why was her face covered in bruises? Sunset, however, had refused to speak up, simply giving a, “I'm fine. Don't worry about it.” before changing the subject to her tardiness.

“This situation is getting out of hand. We need to find this ‘Anon-a-miss’ person asap. Look at what it's doing to that poor girl.” The pale purple vice principal stated with concern and urgency.

“I know, sister. There's not much we can do when she won't tell us who is doing this to her.” Principal Celestia said with sadness for the depressed teen.

“I’m going to get to the bottom of this. I’m not going to stand back and let this happen to her. She’s worked too hard.” The vice principal said with determination.

“I agree but what can we do? We’re dealing with a completely anonymous account and a student being bullied with the worst cruelty I’ve seen in all my years. Plus Sunset wont even tell us who's hurting her. Why? Is she scared?” Principal Celestia said.

“It's tough but we can't sit back and watch. You get in contact with the cyber police and hunt down the real person behind anon-a-miss. I’m going to handle Ms.Shimmer, help her in any way I can and find out who's behind harassing her.” Principal Luna said.

The Principal gave a firm nod to her evening blue skinned sister. With that Luna made her way out of her sister's office and walked down the hall.

The vice principal stepped through the hall, her heels making loud clicks, echoing through school that had been turned from friendship and light to bitterness and pettiness. The woman gave out a sigh.

‘Sunset Shimmer. I relate to the girl so much. I know those feelings of loneliness and darkness all too well. I became a teacher just to help students like her. Make an effort to help. To prevent a student from trying what I did. I failed to help her when she first enrolled, thinking she was nothing but a troublemaker. I won't let her down again.’

The woman, lost in her thoughts, turned the corner, she looked up, seeing red and black marker adorning a locker in her side eye. As she walked up to the locker, her eyebrow furrowed, eyes stinging as tears sat at the edge of her lacrimal papilla.

She-Demon

Monster

Die

Anon-a-Bitch

More profanities and insults sat on the door of the locker. Luna, to say the least, was stunned. Angery. Disappointed. Sad. Her students did this. Students that she once was proud of. Praised them and bragged to others for their excellence in the way they treated each other. Taking her phone out the woman took many photos of the evidence and sent them all to her sister. The vice principal made her way to the janitor's closet, after fetching the metal cleaner and a towel, the night shaded woman cleaned the locker, freeing it from nasty words to pristine condition. The bell rang releasing students from their first class, students looked towards the locker and the vice principal as they passed, Luna gave cold stares with her arms crossed. The second bell rang warning students to rush to their next education course. Sunset hadn't shown up to the locker by the time the halls emptied once again. Luna made her way back to her office, she decided she had some investigating to do, ‘We have security cameras, for a reason.’ The vice principal thought with motivation.

The bell screamed at the students letting them know it was now time for their lunch period. Sunset had darted to the nearest bathroom as soon as the bell rang. As she waited for the halls to clear out, the red and gold haired teen dug her sharpened razer into any of the flesh available left on her arms. Gritting her teeth, she watched as the crimson liquid she had become friends with poured from the wounds. Ten minutes later Sunset decided she was safe to enter the halls. Walking up to the door, she poked her head out ensuring the halls were indeed void of other students. Sunset started to make her way to the library with careful soft steps, darted her eyes side to side across the halls.

Sunset sat in her usual spot in the library. The secluded section with Princess Twilight’s leftover scent and a bed of books. The journal the two mammals shared had been buzzing with entries from said princess since the early morning.

“Hey, Twilight.”

“Sunset! Good evening- or I supposed it's just now after noon for you? How's it going? Any updates? Have the girls apologized? As soon as they do I have a bit of my mind to give them.” The princess wrote with eagerness.

“It’s fine. Nothing to really report. Can we not talk about it though? I'm growing tired of this whole ordeal taking up my mind all the time.” The teen wrote messily from exhaustion.

“You’re right, my apologies. How is your day going? And your art?” the princess wrote back.

“Both are fine. How's Equestria? I’ve thought about coming back but I just dont think there's anything there for me. Then again it's the same in this world too, I guess. There's just some factors here that I prefer much more than in our world.”

“Equestria is doing well! Actually, we have had a bit of a scare recently from a very magically gifted unicorn, Starlight Glimmer. She doesn't seem to have the best intentions. We stopped her from stealing others cutie marks but she's still on the loose. Princess Celestia and I are keeping a close eye out for any signs of her.”

“Stealing other ponies cutie marks? I didn't even know you could do that.”

“Me neither! When we do find her I hope she'll tell me how she did it, it could be a new way of magic! Imagine all the research and experiments we could do!” Twilight responded with quick, excited writing. Sunset smirked and rolled her eyes.

“Ha ha, right, you have fun with that. You said her name was Starlight Glimmer?”

“Yep.:)”

Sunset brought a finger to her chin in thought. She recognized the name. That was the name of her cousin, Sunburst’s friend, if she recalled correctly.

‘Sunburst… I wonder how he’s doing. I’ve definitely missed him.’ Sunset thought with sadness.

“I know that name, my cousin, Sunburst, had a friend by that name.” Sunset informed the princess.

“I’ll write that down! Your cousin might be able to help! Thanks Sunset, you're the best!”

Sunset smiled sheepishly.

“Not really, but thanks.”

“Oh hush, I mean what I say. I’m sorry to cut short but I have to get going, I'll talk to you the moment I'm free again! :)”

“Ok, Talk to you later Twilight.” Sunset wrote with an eye roll at her friend using smiley faces. Sunset closed the book and looked at the time on her phone. There were fifteen minutes left until lunch was over. Looking at her due assignments she realized she had an essay to work on. The teen stood up earning a slight protest from her kidneys and made her way down to the first floor and to the computers.

The vice principal didn't know what to think as she stared at her computer screen with a hand over her mouth and sad eyes. The cameras in the halls of the school revealed the students harassing Sunset Shimmer over the last month. Luna had witnessed through the cameras a buff female student, Glida Griff, she believed her name was, shoving the girl against her locker and keeping her there, the incident that took place that very morning with the top three track athletes shoving the hysterical girl into a locker. The many times students had shoved, pushed her to the ground and written on her locker. The second in charge has at least sixteen students in need of punishments. Luna did however come to a surprise when she saw Trixie Lulamoon, Luna remembered her well from the battle of the bands, helping Sunset. Knowing how stubborn Sunset can be, especially in this situation, the vice principal decided to call the periwinkle blue haired girl to her office. After seven minutes, a knock was emitted from behind the door.

“You may come in.” Luna said.

Looking up as the door opened, Luna gave a soft smile to Trixie as she walked in and closed the door behind her.

“Good afternoon, vice principal Luna, you requested the great and powerful Trixie?” The illusionist questioned while rolling the r in her name.

“Yes, Ms.Lulamoon, I’m in the midst of investigating the bullying happening against Sunset Shimmer. Do you know anything about it?” Luna said.

“No offense, vice principal, but why don't you ask her directly?” Trixie inquired with a raised eyebrow.

“Trust me, I've tried, either the girl is too freaked out or has too much pride to say anything.” Luna said with a slight sigh while pinching her eyebrows together. “I was looking through the security cameras footage to identify students actively antagonizing her, when I saw you help her in a situation this morning.”

“Uh huh. She got shoved into some locker. She didn't tell me who did it to her though.” Trixie said.

“And you didn't report it?” Luna queried.

“Like I said, I didn't know who did it. I didn't think you guys would take it seriously if I didn't know or have evidence.” Trixie admitted with a small embarrassed blush on her cheeks.

“I would have and I am, though I understand where you're coming from, being so young.” The woman said.

“It’s been going on as long as ‘anon-a-miss’ has. I don't know all the details, or how serious it is. But apparently enough that it’s physical… and mental too, obviously. I've never seen her so defeated, not even after the fall formal.” The pale blue teen said looking off to the side with furrowed eyebrows and sadness in her eyes.

“I see… Thank you for your input. Please come to me if you see anything else, evidence or not.” The navy vice principal said.

“Yes ma'am. You can count on the great and powerful Trixie.” The illusionist announced with a rolled r in her name and a half torso courtesy. The teen was dismissed from the room and headed back to class.

It was the last class of the day and a certain golden shaded teen was shaking widely and whimpering in the bathroom. Sunset had been like this since the end of lunch. ‘I’m so fucking stupid for coming out of my hiding spot.’ The girl thought as she curled into herself on the floor of the handicap stall. Publicly using the computer in the library had resulted in being shoved violently out of her chair by Glida as she took over the computer and closed out all the research Sunset had garnered so far, which in ten minutes the intelligent girl had a lot. As Sunset had gotten angry it had quickly turned to fear as her three day old assaulter came up behind her with an evil smile. The orange and red arranged haired teen quickly grabbed her bag and ran out as fast as she could, she caught a glimpse of the three younger sisters of her former friends staring at her with guilt ridden faces.

The shaken teens breath began to pick up as she grabbed fistfuls of her own hair. Sunset then heard the bathroom door open and a pair of heels clicking against the floor. ‘No,no,no! Please, please just leave me alone!’ A choked sob evicted from the crying teens vocal cords. A gentle knock echoed on the stalls door. Sunset threw her hands over her head, folding into herself and silently cried harder. “Sunset? Sunset Shimmer, is that you?” a soft silky voice spoke. Looking at the bottom of the stall door Sunset saw pale lavender blue ankles, realizing it was vice principal Luna, Sunset reached up and unlocked the stall door with hesitation.

“Hey, I noticed you were absent from last class and this one, and you weren't signed out.” Luna said with soft concern after entering and relocking the stall. Sunset gave no response, only laying her chin on her knees with her arms wrapped around her ankles. Luna saw it, the tears staining her face, the defeat and dullness in her eyes. “Why don't you come with me? We can go back to my office. I'll make us tea.” The concerned adult said with a gentle smile and her hand out for the girl, offering support. Sunset raised her hand but stopped in hesitation, looking up at the adult in front of her and into her eyes, the distraught teen saw nothing but kindness and genuineness in Luna's eyes. That convinced the girl to grab her hand, allowing herself to be led away by the vice principal.
