Sunny told Allura as she and Sunny prepared for their work, "It's gonna be fine."

Allura yelled back in the basement washroom, the whole thing ice cold, as she walked out of the pink frilly curtained shower, "I am pretty sure I have never worked with Pony hair before a few days ago."

Sunny, looking at the Leopard with a sickeningly adorable face, encouraged her, "And you're a natural. So?"

Allura sniffling said, "If I mess up in there I might as well be considered a monster all over again?"

Sunny (looking even cuter) told her, "Pipp will ensure they understand."

Allura (looking cute back) whined, "She's Zipp's sister, the pony who made the warnings about me?"

Sunny shrugging muttered, "She's apologized, and can have her do it again."

Allura winced and whined again, "And what if the Aroracorn shows up?"

Sunny walked out of the washroom with Allura behind her, "Then be nice to Comet and show him you're not who he thought you were."

Allura swallowed and then looked at Sunny and asked, "And what if I really am?"

Sunny kissed Allura and told her sternly but kindly, "You're not, I know that!"

Allura walked out the door of the bathroom into the cushy bedroom putting on her uniform (a harness like the Earth Ponies wore) up the stairs in the middle of them while Sunny wasn't looking Allura wiped a tear from her eye and thought, "I can't believe after all I have done someone still believes in me?"

...
It was a beautiful fall day outside, and she loved the cold.

As Allura walked to work suddenly three little fillies walked over to her and started to follow her.

As they followed her she asked, "What is this little midget procession about?"

The Unicorn of the three said, "We're not midgets and why aren't you flying?"

Allura responded, "I know, I am trying to avoid conversation because I'll be doing tons of that at work, second, oh yes, a huge shadow of a predator over a town of herbivores, that's going to get me places?"

The Earth Pony asked, "What's an Erb-a-bore?"

Allura looked and explained as she walked, "Herb-a-vore, it means you eat plants, I don't."

The pegasus asked, "What do you eat if you don't eat plants?"

Allura said, "Flesh, flesh like yours, little ones, animal flesh."

First, the three went, "Wow!"

Then the Earth Pony asked, "Is the bunny a snack?"

Allura screamed as Twitch looked at her scared, "No... he's my emotional support animal."

Allura breathed and calmed down and asked, "Why are you fillies not running away?"

The Earth Pony stated, "Because we watch X-rated horror movies like The Unicorn Chainsaw Massacre and are desensitized."

Allura mattered, "Makes sense..."

As the trees and buildings passed she looked, and thought, "Now that they know that I won't hurt them, what can I do to keep them from overtaking me?"

Suddenly Hitch blew his whistle and yelled, "Why Allura, are you harassing the Pipp-Squeaks?"

Allura looked at him in a manner that just spoke, 'Really?' at Hitch and stated, "They are harassing me
Hitch, and do you know they are watching X-rated horror Movies?"

Hitch replied dryly, "Like The Miracle of Birth?"

Allura quipped, "Hitch, that's not a horror movie, it's an educational film you watch in high school. Also, can you tell them to leave me alone?"

Hitch looked at her with a scowl on his face and then the fillies and asked, "Hey Pipp-Squeaks, could you leave Allura alone?"

The Fillies sighed together and said as one, "Okay, Hitch!"

They ran away.

Hitch walked off.

After she was alone again, Allura looked around at the trees and buildings and said, "Uhg, why do I socially sabotage myself? They weren't that bad."

Twitch made a confused noise to her and put his arms out then crossed them.

...

Allura was in the Mane Melody Salon.

The colorful equipment and singing were kind of grating on her.

Pipp walked up to her and asked as she was styling the Pink Maned Yellow Pony named Posey who
looked like she was about to panic and yelled, "Allura, we sing while we style."

Allura replied, "I normally sing only to Twitch and nowadays Sunny, I have no idea how I sound."

Posey replied in a hesitant voice, "I don't mind if she doesn't sing?"

Pipp said annoyed, "Allura."

Allura sang, "Hello Morning Sun, gotta run, I got places to be."

Pipp looked and asked, "What song is that?"

Allura said, "Just a song Sunny taught me."
...

Diggy, a tan Earth Pony, his Husband, and his son Ferris, a red unicorn with a purple horn and blue hair covered by a cap, walked into Mane Melody, a beautiful establishment.

Ferris needed a mane-cut.

Ferris asked suddenly pointing with his hoof, "Can I have the cool leopard cut my mane?"

Diggy looked and saw the creature they had all feared just a month ago. Posey was tipping her, and it appeared Posey was being quite... "Generous?"

Diggy had to wonder how she had gone from being a danger to the community to being employed at a key business in Maretime Bay. Was this all because she was dating Sunny? He might have a Unicorn for a son and a Zebra for a neighbor, but dang what next?

Diggy asked his Unicorn son, "Are you sure, she looks scary?"

Ferris said, "Dad you were scared of Unicorns like me?"

Pipp walked up to him and greeted him, "Hello, what styles and packages will you be purchasing today?"

Ferris yelled, "I want Allura to give me a mane-cut!!!"

Ferris asked, "Is that safe?"

Pipp said, "Of course, she's been giving Mane-Cuts all day?"

Allura looked as the boy walked over and Pipp gave her a pretty harsh stare. Allura thought in her head, 'Think back your teaching day and not the parts where you taught sex-ed' and watched him sit down.

She put the hair gown on him and said, "Kid, what would you like for your mane style to be."

The Kid said excitedly, "Give me something cool!?"

She looked, and said cautiously, "I think the Coolest thing I can give is Mohawk, but the question is would your parents approve, I don't wanna get in trouble with two dads. That's scarier than one."

The colt told her reassuringly, "I'll tell them I asked."

She looked and said jokingly, "Good you take the fall."

She started shaving the kid's mane.

She asked in a funny voice, "What's it like having two dads?"

He told laughing her, "Lots and lots of Dad jokes!"

She sputtered trying not to laugh, "Oh, no?"

....

After the cut, Diggy walked. Ferris ran over and hugged him. Diggy looked at the mane-cut and Allura, and she replied to the stare, "He said he wanted something cool, and that was the only thing I could think of."

Diggy told her trying to be funny and serious at the same time, "You're new and I should have given you instructions, and yeah he's gonna have the teachers being worse than they already are."

Allura looked at him sadly and told him, "If I had known that as a cub who was bullied by the teachers in my school, I would have just given him a tape."

Diggy stated reassuringly, handing her Pony dollars, "You couldn't have known?"

Diggy's husband walked up and asked, "She gave him a Mohawk?"

Ferris said happily, "I wanted it?"

Diggy looked and asked, "When is your break?"

Allura a little excited said, "In two minutes, but I could take it early?"

Diggy said melancholy, "You can wait, I know a restaurant that serves fish?"

...

Allura was at the restaurant, the waiter was playing hoofy-cake with Ferris and Allura was staring at Diggy and his husband.

Allura said, "Thank you, I am so used to being alone, that I am forgetting that I need to fit in."

Diggy told her, "I never expected to be talking to a creature like you, but I never also thought I would be raising a Unicorn."

His husband said to him giving Diggy a peck on the cheek, "And I never thought I'd have such a great husband and son."

As they ate the food Diggy started to look sad.

Allura finally ask Diggy was pushing around his last tomato in his pasta, ask, "Are you having indigestion?"

Diggy said, "I have a confession."

Allura looked frightened, "You think I'm still a monster...?"

Diggy leaned over and whispered, "No, you showed me you are good with kids and polite, this confession is about what happened to Sunny's parents."

Allura said, "I know Phyllis ordered out what happened, not sure on the details though?"

Diggy told her flatly, "I was the willing hit-pony?"

Allura looked as Diggy's husband and Ferris were watching the waiter sing.

Diggy said, "If you're going to kill me, can we walk somewhere, where my son and husband can't see?"

Allura looked and said with sadness, "I'm not going to take a father from his son, but you do realize, there's no forgiveness here, you can't, by confessing give Sunny her parents back."

Diggy stared down at his back hoofs and said softly, "Sweet Celestia, I know. Life is precious, and I took two of them?"

Allura said calmly, "At the end of the day we all live with our sins."

...

At the kitchen table in the doll house like a dining area with mugs of coffee in front of them.

Sunny and Hitch looked at Allura as she pawed them the documents that Diggy had hoofed her outside the restaurant.

Sunny looked and said after sipping her coffee which Allura had made well somehow, "Looking at the details here, I'd say if this is real, we finally have the dirty hoof?"

Hitch uneasily stated, "This isn't just Diggy and Sunny's parents, it looks like there are 12 other hit-ponies and hundreds of victims. Oh, and there's stuff about lawyers arguing legality, meaning it will be hard to go after the Canterlogic CEOs along with Phyllis who ordered this crap out. And to think, I could have been involved or on the other hoof a victim."

Allura looked angrily, took a gulp of her Coffee which was cold unlike theirs, and asked, "Would you like me to find the CEOs and Hit-Ponies with Hitch and Zipp, Sunny."

Sunny looked and said, "It's hard to say, but if Zipp, you and, Hitch, go after these ponies please do not hurt them, I don't want anypony else to suffer."

Allura asked darkly, "If you had hurt them, they wouldn't care about the consequences of revenge."

Sunny yelled preachily, "Violence only leads to more violence, they did bad things and what they did needs to be exposed, but we can't just start hurting ponies."

Allura stated bluntly, "They hurt ponies..."

Sunny replied sternly, "We'll need the victims to decide what, if anything, can be done. Some of these ponies might have families and be functioning parts of the new multiracial society that exist now. You should know, I have let you be my marefriend knowing what you did to the Aroracorns."

Allura walked away from the table and looked out a window at the mountains off in the distance where the Pegasie Kingdom lived.

Sunny was right, she caused a lot of pain. She'd need to talk to someone, a certain heavenly body.

Comet...

Fact the Nazis had lawyers make up a justification for the Holocaust, they used a law that allowed dangers to the state to be killed without trial.

Bush did similar things to justify the torture program.

Evil is often in theory legal.
