I nervously stepped back and stared at Trixie with wide eyes.

“Please don’t hurt me! I’m sorry people call you a failed magician! I know you’re not a bad one. It wasn’t me. You have to believe me!” I begged as Trixie stepped to me and raised a hand. I quickly closed my eyes and waited for a slap or punch. It shockingly never came and I opened my eyes. “A-are you hugging me?”

“She’s fucking observant, isn’t she?” Lavender snorted with a smirk as she kept standing guard. Trixie kept hugging me before stepping back with a warm smile.

“The Great and Powerful Trixie knows you are innocent!” She kept smiling at me. “And yes I was hugging you. Hugging is a sign of affection!” I gawked at her in shock. I didn’t expect this. I expected to be jumped or slapped by Trixie.

“Y-you really know I’m not behind the account?” I stammered. Trixie rolled her eyes and placed a hand on my shoulder. She gave me a squeeze on the shoulder and nodded.

“Trixie trusts you. She watched you turn into a really good person. Same with her friends,” Trixie announced. Fuschia glanced back with a reassuring smile.

“But you threw powder in my eyes and said be gone anon a miss,” I said in confusion. Lavender grinned at me.

“It’s called acting Sunset. We saw what happened to Derpy and were afraid it would happen to us if we had this conversation in the hallway in front of everyone,” she explained as she crossed her arms. “Cherry crossed a line.”

“It doesn’t burn either like last time. Why?” I inquired. Trixie sighed and stepped to the sink, turning the water on.

“Trixie didn’t realize it burned. She felt really bad she hurt you, so she and her friends searched tirelessly till they found a non burning disappearing powder!” The magician announced as she pulled a wash cloth out of her backpack and got it wet, starting to wash my face off. “Trixie and her friends want to meet you friends. Group meeting.” I took a deep breath.

“Okay.”

Lyra stood up instantly and hugged me. Vinyl and the others crowded around me.

“Oh my god you’re okay!” Octavia announced. “We were afraid you got arrested for assault!”

“Is Derpy okay?” I asked nervously. Lyra gave me a grin.

“She’s okay. She has a bruise on her back but that’s it. She was worried about you more than herself,” Lyra answered as my friends made way for Derpy. She shoved me against the wall and kissed me. I quickly returned it and sighed.

“I have some one who wants to meet you. Three people actually.” The others looked at each other curiously and shrugged.

“Alright. Where are they?” Bon Bon asked.

“Come in now. It’s okay!” I called out as Trixie, Lavender and Fuschia stepped in with smiles.

“Hello,” Trixie waved with her trademark grin. “Trixie and her friends are here to be awesome and help Sunset!” My friends stared in shock at the three.

“I did not see that one coming,” Bon Bon admitted after a moment of silence. Trixie gave her a smug smirk and placed a hand on her hip.

“Trixie is full of surprises, isn’t she?” Trixie smirked. “Trixie is currently going on her Humble and Apologetic Trixie’s Repentance Tour for the people she hurt! Starting with Sunset. Trixie was awful to her and she knows Sunset isn’t behind anon a miss. Trixie and her friends want to help clear her name!”

“That’s a long title,” Vinyl commented as she pushed her glasses up, revealing her red eyes.

“It’s a working title!” Trixie declared. Fuschia gave a chuckle.

“Yeah we are working on it. But yeah, we wanna help out any way we can. Sunset doesn’t deserve this treatment from the other students.”

“Okay I trust you if Sunset does,” Derpy admitted. “She’s my life. We don’t really know what to do to prove her innocence. We’ve just been staying with her at all times on school property unless her mom or my dad is with her.”

“We know. We’ve been watching while the three of us tried to figure out how to best approach her or Derpy,” Lavender answered. She shut the door behind her and pulled the blinds down. Presumably so no one saw us all meeting. “After what that bitch did to Derpy, we knew we had to get creative on how we talked to Sunset. So we did acting.”

“It was pretty good acting,” I admitted as three girls sat down.

“We know we aren’t the most trustworthy people after our actions at the battle of the bands,” Fuschia admitted. “Especially me after I locked Sunset and the Raingoons in the stages basement so we could take their spot but we wanna be better also.”

“Trixie and her powerful friends watched Sunset change into a great and powerful person of her own. She is awesome!” Trixie turned red and coughed. “She’s a very inspiring leader.”

“Agreed,” Octavia chuckled as she stood up and started pacing back and forth. I watched as the others looked at each other and had a discussion purely based on facial expressions.

“Alright we will let you guys join us,” Vinyl announced with a warm smile. “We need as much help as we can get. Especially after the Rainbooms because they are bitches.”

“They always were,” Fuschia grumbled as she glanced at the window.

“We thought it was just us who thought Sunset was innocent,” Lyra admitted. “It’s good to know there’s more with brains in this damn school. Other than Sunset’s mom and Derpy’s dad of course.”

“Yeah it’s stupid how the school has became a war zone,” Lavender snorted in anger. “When I find the fucker involved with this account, I’m gonna insult them.”

“I really thought that was going somewhere else,” I admitted.

“That’s what she said,” Lyra smirked. Lavender laughed and grinned at her.

“That was a really good one.”

“Thanks. So what do we do now?” Lyra asked. Trixie stood up and held out a hand to me.

“Easy! We work together and find the real culprit.” Her friends stood up and grinned at us eagerly. I had a feeling they were being honest and I trusted them now.

I reached out and accepted Trixie’s outstretched hand and she pulled me up to my feet.
