Absolute power corrupts absolutely

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME!!!!!"

Sunset yelled. Causing Flash to flinch back at her sudden outburst. Everyone turned their heads towards the now soon to be ex-couple's table. Flash looking around embarrassed while Sunset looked at him furiously.

She was standing up, bracing her hands against the table, and clawing its surface with her nails, shaking with anger.

“Sunset, please, don’t make a scene-”

“Don’t make a scene!? You knew how I’d react! You chose lunch just to humiliate me!”

“I chose lunch because I thought you’d keep a lid on your temper-”

“I DO NOT HAVE A TEMPER!” Sunset slammed her hands down on the table, eliciting a loud slap that reverberated around the cafeteria. By this point everyone was murmuring to themselves, obviously about Flash and Sunset.

Flash shrunk into himself and tried hiding his face, not that it worked. “I don’t understand why you’re so angry! You don’t even seem to like me most of the time!”

“How could I not be angry that my boyfriend is breaking up with me!” The murmuring got even louder and more excitable.

“Sunset, can we please not make this into a big deal-”

“Why are you doing this?”

“I- what?”

“Why are you breaking up with me dumbass? What possible reason could you have to break up with me?” She jabbed a finger into her chest to emphasize her point.

Flash took a moment to regain his composer and keep his cool. Now was not the time to show weakness in front of Sunset. He knew that she wouldn't take the news of him breaking up with him lightly, but he still hoped that she would keep herself in check in a public setting. Oh well. No point in stressing about it now. He knew what he was getting himself into the second he decided to end things with Sunset. So, all he can do is move forward. But before he can speak someone stepped forward.

“Excuse me…” Flash and Sunset looked over to see Octavia Melody had made her way over to their table. “Is Everything alright over here?”

“None of your damn business you stuck up bitch! Now fuck off!” Sunset jabbed her thumb away from their table, indicating for Octavia to go away.

Octavia grimaced and glared at Sunset, grumbling something about ‘reckoning’ angrily as she walked away.

“You see! That’s why I’m breaking up with you.”

“Excuse me?” Sunset turned her head back to Flash.

“You heard me.” Flash knitted his brows together. “That’s why I’m breaking up with you, you’re a bad person.”

“A bad person? Because I told the stuck up to stop snooping?” Sunset asked incredulously.

“It’s a lot of things, Sunset.” Flash sighed tiredly. “You’re mean, you’re spiteful, you’re devious, you’re a liar, a manipulator, a cheat, a cutthroat, a bully, combative, argumentative, mean spirited, vain, arrogant, unlikeable, and all around unpleasant to be around.” Flash looked up, tensing at Sunset's fiery glare, she looked like she was about to strangle him to death. He didn’t mean to say all that about her, it just came out!

“If I was so fucking unpleasant, then why did you stay with me for so long?” Sunset asked with a cold edge in her voice.

“Well, uh…” Flash cleared his throat. “You’re hot.” There were snickers and murmurs from the students near Flashes table. “A-and when we did get along, it was… nice. You are a fun person to be around, that was the only reason I stuck around, I hoped we’d have more of those days and you wouldn’t be so… unpleasant after a while.” Flash frowned. “But I can’t keep lying to myself. You aren’t getting better, if anything, you’re getting worse. You soon started becoming more demanding and controlling of both me and our fellow schoolmates. Using blackmail to keep others in line as you literally rule the school with an iron fist. I can’t keep ignoring you making someone’s day worse, blackmailing someone for one of your plans, and arguing with me all the time. That’s why I’m breaking up with you, you’re a bad person and I don’t want to be with someone like you.”

“I see. This is because I won’t suck you off isn’t it?”

“What? No!” Flash held his hands up defensively. “That was never an issue."

“Bullshit!" Sunset scoffs." You would always ask me to give you oral after doing it for me. But I would refuse every single time. You want to know why I never sucked you off?” Flash groaned as Sunset held up her right hand and pinched her thumb and index fingers together. “Because you're a baby wiener haver. A lizard's dick would be bigger than yours!” She said before slamming her palm on the table.

Flash stands up to meet Sunset's glare with his own. "That's not true and you know it." Flash rebutted. "My size is above average. You," he points a finger at her. "are just so damn selfish. You only care about yourself and your needs and not once have you given a single thought about me. As I said before. You are too demanding and controlling. I was always expected to follow your orders and do as you say. I was more of a slave then your boyfriend and I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of YOU. You think you can have whatever you want, whenever you want it. Well news flash you arrogant bitch. The world doesn't revolve around you, and it never will. So, get off your high horse and get over yourself."

The entire cafeteria fell immediately into pure silence. No one dared moved nor made a sound after Flash's rant against Sunset. As they all thought the exact same thing. What will the bully do to him.

Flash just called Sunset a "bitch" straight to her face. That alone was enough to sign his own death warrant. As by now, everyone knows what will happen if you anger Sunset. The only question is what will, she do to him.

“You know what? FUCK YOU!" Sunset yelled before straightening her posture. “And for the record. You’re not breaking up with me. I’m breaking up with you. I don’t want to date or fuck a faggot like you. So long Flash, you were a mildly ok boyfriend. I’m going to enjoy you groveling at my feet when come to realize what you just gave up and later start begging me to take you back, only end up being pushed away as you forever regret breaking up with me.”

“I can say the same about you." Flash countered. "After all you're going to miss having me around way more than I would you. So, don’t expect me to take you back. You thoroughly killed any chance at reconciliation.”

“Don’t worry, reconciling with you is the last thing I want to do.” Sunset said in a vain attempt to get the last word in and salvage some of her wounded pride before she turned on her heels and marched out the cafeteria.

After a few moments the cafeteria exploded with activity, as they cheered and congratulated Flash for standing up to the queen bitch and dealt an obviously mighty blow to her ego. Everyone was talking over themselves and discussing what just happened, some people taking out their phones to record or snap pictures of CHS new hero.

“... Well, that went a lot better than I thought it would.” Flash said with pride. Happy to finally be free from Sunset.

*****

Sunset stood just outside the cafeteria doors. Listening in on all the cheers from the other students as they praised Flash, and it absolutely pissed her off being humiliated in front of the entire school like that. No doubt this is going to start a rebellion against her later. Not wanting to hear anymore. She walked away to go to the principal's office.

There was still so much time left for lunch and Sunset has a free period right after. So, she decided to use this opportunity to get away from the school for the time being. Fortunately, Principal Celestia is pretty chill about allowing students to leave school grounds during their free periods. This is usually do because the bakery restaurant known as Sugarcube café is literally across the street from the school. Which the students love to go to. All you need is to do is get permission from the front office and sign yourself out and come back to sign yourself back in before your next class starts. Sunset rarely ever does this. So, she wouldn't have any issues being allowed to leave.

As she made her way through school. Sunset couldn't help but think about what Flash said about her.

"You are just so damn selfish. You only care about yourself and your needs and not once have you given a single thought about me or my needs. As I said before. You are too demanding and controlling. I was always expected to follow your orders and do as you say. I was more of a slave then your boyfriend and I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of YOU. You think you can have whatever you want, whenever you want it. Well news flash you arrogant bitch. The world doesn't revolve around you, and it never will.

His words only served as a reminder of the argument she had with Princess Celestia.

(Things start at 3:20 but it's not like I can stop you from watching the whole thing if you choose to. And I'm too lazy to write everything down word for word.)

Remembering Celestia's words along with Flash's. Only made the bully boil with rage. Sunset knows for fact that she deserves power and control above all others. She was far more superior than any of the other unicorns back at CSGU. Obviously since Celestia did chose her to be her personal student. But that stupid fat flank bitch refuse to see just how great Sunset can truly be. So, when she didn't get what she desired as quickly as she wanted, she turned cruel and dishonest, eventually abandoning her studies to pursue her own path and that path led her here in a world with no magic and no way to use her own. Which only made things difficult really for Sunset as she had to build a life for herself in this world.

Fortunately, she had the forethought to grab all her money before jumping through the portal. Which helped with things that she definitely needed if she wanted to get by in this world, but her small fortune can only get her so far in the long run.

Her funds were running low, and her landlord had just raised the rent earlier today. So, she couldn't afford to pay the new price. Although her sleazy landlord did offer to let her stay rent free in exchange for her.... "Company" every now and then. Screw that. No way in tartarus she's going to spread her legs for that fat, ugly, disgusting bastard just to stay at that dump. She’d given him more than enough and she doesn't want to bother getting a job. So, she just packed up what little she had and left for school and wasn't planning on going back.

Sunset was never the type to take orders from anyone but herself, let alone work under someone or be their slave. She prefers it the other way around. Getting what she wants when she wants it. Sunset wants nothing but pure absolute obedience from those, she sees that are beneath her. Which would be literally everyone.

Of course, the world doesn't revolve around Sunset like that. She can't always get what she wants and expect things to always go her way. She knows that she really does, but that doesn't stop her from trying. After two years of being a student at CHS. She had long since ruled the school with an iron fist. Through her methods as a bully. All the students feared her, thus cementing herself as queen of the school. But simply ruling over a school doesn't mean anything in the long run. Sunset seeks greater power and control. She does have big plans after all involving taking over Equestria, but with the way life has been going for her. That sounded like a pipe dream. If only she still had her magic. She could easily take over the entire city by now with the spells she knows, alas that's not going to happen. All she can do right now is figure out what she should do about finding a place to sleep.

She was going to make that faggot Flash let her stay at his place. But that's obviously not going to happen now. Her best options would be asking Snips or Snails and that would be awkward as hell. Plus who knows what those little perverts might try to do when she's not looking. Either way she'll worry about all that later. Right now, she just wants some time to herself.

After visiting the front office and given the ok to leave. Sunset step out of the school and made her way to Sugarcube Café. As she walk, she contemplated on what she was going to do about her living situation.

She still doesn't want to go back to her crap apartment as well as grovel before that disgusting landlord, but if she can't find a solution anytime soon, she would either go back and be his plaything, live with Snips or Snails, live out in the streets or sleep inside the school. All were terrible options and it frustrated Sunset to no end knowing just how weak, pathetic, and most of all, powerless she truly is.

Sure, sees smart, devious, and cunning, but that's really all there is to her. She's not physically strong in any way, hell, she doesn't even know how to fight. If it wasn't for the dirt she had on the previous school bully, Gilda could easily crush Sunset. Like an ant trying to fight a boot.

Which is why blackmail is her ultimate weapon to use to keep the students in line. Without it, she's nothing and that heated event with Flash earlier was proof of how weak she truly is. She could never find any good dirt to use on Flash. So, when he finally grew a pair and stood up to her. She was powerless to do anything about it. That's why see left the way that she did, and it annoyed her to no end how that faggot got the better of her.

Sunset scowled angrily. "If only I still had my magic, then I would show Flash and everyone in the whole Faust damn world whose boss. If only I had some power, all I need is more power." She thought to herself.

Before she knew it, Sunset arrives at Sugarcube Café. Putting her personal thoughts on hold for now, she entered the building. There were customers here and there, but the place wasn't all that pack. Good which means she can quickly grab something to eat since she didn't eat lunch in the cafeteria.

Not missing a beat. Sunset made her way to the front counter, where Mr. Cake stood. As for his wife. The buxom bombshell known as Mrs. Cake was going around cleaning tables. Wearing her signature white apron over her yellow shirt and white jeans. Sunset couldn't help but ogle at the slightly chubby, slutty looking MILF. Her massive rack always caught her eyes especially that enormous fat sexy ass inside those tight jeans.

Sunset couldn't help but imagine how much difficulty Cup must have trying to get pants over that gigantic rump of hers.

Sunset has always had a thing for women like her. There has never been a time that Sunset hadn't thought about fucking that ass. If she could, she would rut Mrs. Cake so hard she wouldn't be able to walk straight for a month. Alas such a thing can only be achieved in her fantasies. After getting enough of an eye full of Cup's generous assets. Sunset made her way to front counter to place her order.

After getting her order, she made her way towards an empty table in the back. Upon reaching it she sees a black notebook sitting on it. When Sunset first looked around the restaurant when she arrived, nobody was sitting here, and someone should have come out of the restroom by now if they are still here. So, whoever it belongs to must have left it behind by accident.

On the cover was a single word. *RULEBOOK!* Curious, Sunset places her food on the table, sits down, and picks it up. She opens the book and to her surprise it was completely blank. There was nothing written in it, not only that but it looked like your normal journal. She quickly turns to the first page, expecting to see the owners name but instead sees a note printed on the inside of the cover:

"The world runs on rules. Schools and companies have their handbooks. Neighborhoods have their homeowners' associations. Even countries have their laws. You spend all day following rules. Wouldn't it be nice if you could be the one writing the rules for once? Now you can. This is the Rulebook. Simply put the name of an organization and write your rules. Any rule you can think of will be followed by everyone in that organization.

You can write Old Rules and New Rules. People will treat Old Rules casually, like they've been around forever. The world will even change to accommodate Old Rules as you write them. On the other hand, New Rules only go into effect once you've written them down. People will still follow them, but they may express nervousness, embarrassment, excitement, or other emotions about them.

Oh, and One last tip: make sure you use a pencil. Wouldn't want you regretting your changes."

Sunset raised a questionable eyebrow at what she just read. She looked around, seeking any sign of anyone in the store who might be leading her on. A notebook that allows a person to change the rules of the world in any way they desire...... What a load of bullshit. This has to be some kind of prank. If the book really did have this kind of power. Then why would the previous owner just leave it here unattended.

Sunset thought about ignoring it. But her curiosity got the better of her. She wasn't exactly a big believer in the occult, especially since this world doesn't even have magic in it, but she was a fan of anything that might let her have some power over it. Besides, what's the harm in trying it out. So, she took out a pencil from her backpack that she brought with her. She ponders for a moment, wondering what to write, before spotting Mrs. Cake chatting with some customers. An idea instantly popped into her head and Sunset immediately put her pencil to paper.

Old Rule: The dress code for Sugarcube Café requires female employees to be topless at all times.

Immediately after writing the rule, Sunset looked up towards Mrs. Cake. She stared with wide eyes, her mouth agape as she watches the woman's yellow shirt fades away, leaving her wearing nothing but a pair of pants and her apron that only barely kept her bust hidden from view. Her nipples pressing obviously through the fabric, threatening to escape every time she moves. Despite this, she doesn't seem to notice, and neither does anybody else, let alone the people she's talking to. All of them simply going on with their conversation normally as if the woman hadn't suddenly been stripped down in front of them. Sunset hastily erases the test rule, and Mrs. Cake's shirt faded back into view.

Sunset had to take a moment to process what just happened. She couldn't believe it. The rulebook really does work.

Shortly after testing the book on Mrs. Cake and quickly eating her food. Sunset, with the rulebook in hand, quickly made her way out of the restaurant and ran straight back to CHS in a hurry. Looking as if she just stole something. In a way she probably did. The second she'd entered the building she remembered to sign herself back in at the front office before rushing to the nearest girl's restroom.

Upon arriving to one, Sunset quickly rushes inside. Fortunately, it was completely vacant. Made sense, since she's on the other side of the school and everyone else is still in the cafeteria eating lunch.

The second the door closed behind her, Sunset laid her back against it, breathing heavily after the run here. She still has a surprise shock look on her face. She couldn't believe that the notebook's power was actually real. But Sunset still had her doubts. It was all too good to be true. This must be a dream; it has to be, and any second now she'll wake up from it. So, instead of waiting, she pinches herself hard. It hurt like hell, but it confirmed that she's truly awake and not dreaming, which is good, really good.

Sunset was much more excited now she had seen the rulebook's power at work. Her heart was beating fast, and she couldn't keep a smug grin from her face.

Sunset has no idea how something with this kind of power could even exist in this world or at all for that matter. But as long as she doesn't have to deal with some kind of Shinigami like creature. She couldn't care less. All she cared about was the power that the rulebook could give her. It was like the finest dream she'd ever had, made real and solid and given to her as a gift. She fancied the power crackled along the page, and each time she ran her fingers over the book, she felt as though she was touching the corona of a star.

Power! More power than she had ever even fantasized about! Power to do anything to anyone, and no one would ever be able to catch her if she didn't want them to! She felt the excitement building, tingles rushing through her body. She reached up with one hand and brushed her red and yellow hair away from her face.

Sunset moved slowly towards the sinks. Her mind was running like the engine of a car. The rulebook clasped in her hand like she would never let it go. After what seemed like an eternity, she now stood directly in front of a sink and mirror.

She looked up, seeing the reflected image of herself, an amber-faced eighteen-year-old, her eyes wide with excitement. A grin twisted her mouth, and she looked down at the naked pages of the book. But what could she write? What could she do? A whole universe of possibilities opened up for her, so much that she had to try and narrow it down before she could even start considering it.

Sunset closed her eyes, letting the darkness surround her for a moment, her heart was beating fast, but she forced it to calm down. She could feel a certain heat and moistness between her legs. She knew that she was turned on. She wanted to do something, something big. But she didn't know what at the moment. As she was still too excited about the power she really now holds in her hands

She opened her eyes again, gazing at herself reflected in the mirror. All the people that had ever annoyed her here at CHS played before her mind's eye. There were many of them. Sunset was not an easy person to like. In fact, she made it hard to like her, because she didn't much like anyone else, but she loved to see them break, especially other girls. It's part of the reason why she became a bully, though in Sunset's opinion this wasn't a fair description. A bully was someone who picked on someone else to get something from them, but Sunset simply enjoyed taking their power away. When other people felt helpless, humiliated and ashamed, Sunset felt hot and tingly. She loved it. She loved it when she could verbally tear into someone, when she could reduce another girl to tears, it made her day.

But she was careful as well, oh yes. That was why she was so good at what she did. She was slow and methodical, picking her victims from those who probably would not be able to fight back. She tested them, and bullied them slowly, making sure that they only ever reacted the way she wanted. If they didn't, she might back off, or try to find another way to get to them and she always finds another way to get to them. Blackmail has always been her ultimate weapon.

Ultimately, Sunset's kink was power. Power over everyone else. The power to humiliate them, to debase them, to make them ashamed of their own bodies and thoughts. When she did that, when she broke them down, stripped them of their stupid self-worth, she could almost believe that they were actual people.

Almost.

She had always wanted to take it further. Sexuality was the ultimate of mankind for both good and bad. Someone was never more vulnerable than when they were naked, and Sunset had often fantasized about what she could do if she was only allowed to take that final step. But she never had. After all, she didn't want to be arrested, so she contented herself with merely legal actions. But now, with this book, she could decide what the law was, couldn't she?

She was getting horny. Sunset could feel her pussy starting to respond to her thoughts. She thought for a minute, wondering who to choose as her first victim. There were plenty of girls at CHS she's sexually attracted to. Plenty of people she could bring low.

Mystery Mint, who was always so popular and happy, chatting away with everyone like she thought that she was their equal.

Starlight Glimmer, who was cold and distant, and yet half the campus wanted to fuck her.

Derpy Hooves, the blonde-haired, wall-eyed idiot who would chatter away for hours if you let her, but because she was nice and friendly and approachable, she seemed to find no end of people willing to listen.

(NOTE: Artworks own by The Butch X)

Those were only the first to come to mind. There were more. Many more. Most of whom she wouldn't have been able to touch without access to a rulebook like this.

Sunset looked down at the book, and then an important thought occurred to her. She pondered the moral quandaries of essentially rewriting reality along with everyone's minds. Such power should never be wielded by anyone. But if it does. Well, everyone knows the old saying.

With great power. Comes with zero fucks to responsibility.

Sunset grinned. "I don't want this book falling into the wrong hands, should probably write some rules to keep it nice and safe." Sunset thought to herself, as she picked up the pencil.

Old rule: There are no loopholes in any rule I write.

"That takes care of any and all unnecessary bullshit."

Old rule: Its impossible for anyone other than me, to know this book exists. No one other than me will be able to see, use, or touch this book.

Old rule: I cannot be disturbed, when writing in the rulebook.

Sunset continued to add more rules to safely secure both herself and the book. Once she was satisfied with all the security, she'd put in place, she closed the book with the pencil inside and with a single thought, the book vanishes into thin air. She then immediately causes the book to reappear in her right hand. When writing her security rules, Sunset made it where she can send and resummon the book from a pocket dimension that only she can access, with just a thought. This way if she needs to write more rules. Her Handy Dandy notebook is always just a single thought away.

Sunset took a moment to think about what she wanted to do next. She wanted to give this book a real test drive and see what it was truly capable of, but she was still skeptical about the whole thing. Not that she doubts its power. The demonstration on Mrs. Cake was more than enough to show off what its capable of. She just wants to be cautious is all. There's still much she wanted to learn about the book. Get a full understanding of its reality bending powers. As a former magic user. One must be cautious when trying to cast new spells they haven't done before. If one just jumps in and try to cast a spell without learning more about it first. Well obviously, mistakes will be made, and those mistakes could be costly. And Sunset is too smart to allow that to happen to herself.

So, the first thing she wants to do is start out small and work her way up. She won't do anything too big until she fully understands just how much control and power she truly has. So, no more open public displays. Right now, she needed a more private setting and a guinea pig to test her book on.

A thought occurred to her. It was an interesting thought, and one that she hadn't expected to have. Nonetheless, it caught her attention, and then she managed to hold it. The idea was strangely enticing, and it would help her solve her living problems.

She looked down at the rulebook, and then at the mirror reflecting herself, her smile was sharp-toothed, like a shark, and her eyes glittered with malice and delight. Why not? Why not indeed? Having a rulebook that could grant every wish you wrote into it was pretty potent. The book was her script, the world her stage, now all she needed was a lead actress.
