Anon A Miss Strikes

Sunset sighed as she placed a pillow on the floor and fluffed her blanket up a bit. She was more used to sleeping on hard floors than a comfortable, bed. It felt too comfortable for her. The door creaked open and Silver Spoon stuck her head in.

"Uhm, why are you sleeping on the floor?" She hesitantly asked as she stepped inside the room. Sunset shrugged.

"The bed was too comfortable," Sunset explained. Silver raised an eyebrow and cocked her head to the side and Sunset sighed.

"I'm used to sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Not a nice bed like this," Sunset explained and Silver nodded.

"Ohhh. Maybe your body just has to get used to it again."

"I'll just start slow, see what happens," Sunset made eye contact with the younger girl. "Won't your parents worry when you don't come home?" Silver tensed up and shook her head.

"She is home," Diamond stated as she came into the room. "Because she's my sister." The rest of her group entered the room as well and Sunset was met with stares, each with a different of sadness in them.

"Since when?" Sunset questioned.

"Since like, years. Her parents were a wealthy family like mine and gave her up. Something about the mom being pregnant messing with their reputation. So I pressured dad into adopting her."

"Exactly. We don't broadcast it to the school, we just act like friends during school hours. Only they know," Silver Spoon gestured to where Bon Bon was standing off to the side with Octavia and the others. "So please don't tell anyone." Sunset nodded with a raised eyebrow.

"So that whole thing about you quit being friends with her during the beginning of her being nice to people was faked?" Diamond gave a snort at that.

"Oh no, that was real. She didn't talk to me for the rest of the week. Made home life fairly awkward." Diamond rubbed the back of her head and gave a sigh. Silver gave her a quick hug.

"That was then. You're a better person now, no point in living in the past," Silver chided. Bon Bon knelt next to Sunset and made eye contact.

"We know you are innocent. I don't necessarily know how just yet, but we're gonna prove it God damn it," Bon Bon clenched her fist in frustration. "Whoever is actually behind this is a coward."

"Do all of you believe that?" Sunset questioned. Octavia gave her a curt nod and Vinyl gave her a thumbs up with a mischievous smile.

"We do," Lightning said coolly, pushing herself off the wall she had been resting against. Sunset stared at her.

"I'm surprised you're here and not part of the crowd. I thought you hated me for what I did during the fall formal and prior." Bon Bon and Octavia shared a look while Lightning gave a sigh.

"I didn't like you at first, sure. But it's evident you changed into a way better, nicer person. If Diamond Tiara can change, so can you. I helped her change and I can help you prove your innocence," she glanced at Diamond and gave her a smug smile. "I assume your dad has Rare Find helping get evidence?" Diamond nodded.

"Who is Rare Find?" Sunset questioned, giving each girl a confused look and Diamond sighed.

"Dads private investigator," she explained. Sunset cocked an eyebrow in confusion.

"You guys just have a private investigator on standby?" Diamond shrugged and a upset look crossed her face.

"Dads divorce with mom was....messy," she paused. "She was hiding stuff from the police and the courts during the whole mess so dad hired Rare Find to get evidence proving she shouldn't have custody of me and Silver. He exposed her, she got arrested and here we are."

"I'm sorry, no one should have to go through with that," Sunset mumbled. "I haven't seen my own mom in god, years."

"Why not, love?" Octavia asked and Sunset shrugged.

"After I abandoned my studies, I ran away. I haven't seen Luna in a thousand years," Sunset explained.

"Hold on, you're a thousand years old?" Vinyl piped on and Sunset shook her head. "And you mean Vice Principal Luna is your mom?"

"I'm not entirely sure what Celestia did, but I'm the same age as you in a sense. I'd have to ask her. Last time I saw Luna was when she got banished to the moon."
And it's Princess Luna where I'm from, not Vice Principal."

"How do you just banish someone to a whole moon?" Silver asked.

"Magic can be used for good or evil. You can do great things with it, or enslave the world. Like I tried to. Thankfully, most ponies-"

"Wait what?" Vinyl interrupted, her glasses sliding down her nose to show shocked red eyes. "Ponies? What?" Sunset inhaled.

"Right, I forgot you all didn't know about that. Where I come from is inhabited by talking ponies. If it wasn't for the portals magic, you all would be looking at a small orange unicorn," Sunset admitted.

"Somone say unicorn?" Lyra strode into the room and paused, staring at Sunset.

"This is a new thing," she mumbled nervously. "She's not gonna reveal any of my secrets, right?" Sunset stood up and gave her a look.

"I'm innocent. I've abandoned all my morals because of this shit show. I don't care who gets in my way of finding the truth. The only reason I won't start anything with you is because Bon Bon is here and she's your girlfriend," Sunset growled coldly. Bon Bon quickly got between the two.

"We're all on the same side here," she said placatingly, glancing at Lyra. "Right, Lyra?"

Lyra rubbed her head sheepishly and shot a look at Sunset.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It's just we haven't seen much proof it isn't you," Lyra mumbled.

"And there isn't much proof it is her also," Octavia retaliated.

"You want proof? Fine, we'll give you proof," Diamond turned to Sunset. "Give me your phone." Sunset stared at her in confusion and Diamond rolled her eyes and held out her hand. Sunset grudgingly placed the phone in her hand. Diamond put it in her pocket and looked at all the girls in the room seriously.

"We will keep her phone for a week. Me, Silver and dad will monitor her online activity and check the posts from anon a miss to see if it matches when she is on the internet. This information does not leave this room, under any fucking circumstances. If it does, the real anon a miss might abuse that. And so help me god if it's any of you, you're out the group. Am I perfectly clear?" Diamond demanded. The girls nodded and Lyra joined a second later.

"Now what was this about a unicorn?" Lyra demanded, shifting her eyes to Sunset.

"If you cross the portal, you turn into a pony. I'm a unicorn back in Equestria," Sunset explained. "I don't know your doubles back in Equestria, so I have no idea what your pony race is. Could be a pegasus, earth pony or a unicorn."

"Not only will I turn into a mythological creature, I'll have magic?" Lyra exclaimed and grabbed Sunset by the shoulders.

"Uh, yes?"

"Take me there now please!" Lyra begged. Octavia gently pulled her off.

"Sorry about Lyra dear, she can be a bit much when it comes to this topic. I'm certain Bon Bon could write a novel about Lyra's exploits."

"The truth must be set free!" Lyra shouted. Diamond gave a smirk her way.

"Maybe after we prove Sunset innocent, we can visit her homeland. If she's interested in allowing us, of course." Sunset shrugged, she hadn't thought of bringing anyone else to Equestria. It's always just been her going back to visit. It could be nice, she mused.

"I'm certain Twilight would approve of me bringing more people. The last time I went back was to get a new journal from Twilight." She fell back on the blankets she made into a bed on the floor. Lightning frowned softly at that.

"Why are you on the floor?" She questioned.

"I'm assuming you all saw where I lived?" When Lightning nodded, she continued. "The bed was too soft for my liking. Maybe tomorrow or something, I'll try it."

"Good," Diamond mumbled. Sunset gave a loud cry and rubbed her head. The girls shared a concerned look between each other.

"Are you okay?" Silver asked nervously and Sunset nodded briefly.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Just a migraine, been having one since Anon a miss started," she mumbled.

"Have you tried medicine?" Lyra suggested helpfully and frowned when Sunset nodded.

"I've tried everything i can think of. It'll pass." Diamond jerked her head to the door.

"Let's let Sunset catch some sleep." She quickly exited the room and shut the door softly after they all left. She settled onto the couch and drank her tea.

"I can't believe I get to have magic!" Lyra gushed. Bon Bon rolled her eyes.

"She didn't say yes, love," Bon Bon pointed out.

"She didn't say no either," Lyra retorted.

"Okay, you got me there. She didn't say yes or no, we have to wait and see." Bon Bon picked up her glass of water and quickly drank it.

"We need to get this sorted out and fast." She showed her group a post of someone threatening to run Sunset over. Octavia scoffed.

"Freaking great, now we have to worry about idiots in cars now. At least inside the school, we only had to worry about the people." She rolled her eyes.

"Just ridiculous. People are sick," Vinyl agreed and crossed her arms. She shot a look at the door where Sunset was asleep.

"She doesn't deserve this, at all."

"Nope," Diamond replied, a hint of anger in her tone.

Two girls sat in a dimly lit room in front of a computer, the screen being the main source of light. One sat stroking a beat up leather jacket sadly and the other stared at the screen. Their hair looked grey from the stress and lacked their normal vibrant color.

"Don't worry Sunset, we're gonna prove you're innocent," Rainbow mumbled as she and Pinkie analyzed another old Anon a miss post. "No matter the fucking cost."
