Anon A Miss: The Cutie Mark Caught In The Act

Applejack had to wait until Apple Bloom was in the bathroom taking her daily nightly shower before she headed to bed. AJ had to be real sneaky due to the short window of time.

It wasn't in AJ’s nature to sneak around and spy on others, but she had to do this, it was the only way to know if Sunset was actually behind the screen or if she was being framed.

She crept into Apple Bloom’s room, careful of not gathering the suspicion of her family members (Big Macintosh and Granny Smith). She found Apple Bloom's phone charging on her bedside table, AJ slowly unplugged the charger and dropped the wire to the ground and then quickly seized the opportunity to check what her little sister had been up to.

She scrolled on through some of the apps but most of them were just video games and normal pre-teen stuff, none of which being any cause for suspicion.

She felt guilty. I guess deep down inside, Applejack knew what she was doing was wrong. She should just straight up ask Apple Bloom, there was no need for her to lie since honesty runs in the family, even if you don’t believe in its morals, if you live under the Apple family household, you had to abide by the rules.

AJ plugged Apple Bloom's phone back into her charger, on the bedside table where she found it and afterwards sneaking back out.

Just as when she was about to reach pass through the open exit she was in for a surprise.

Apple Bloom suddenly ambushed at Applejack, causing her to jump and yelp. “What were you doin’ in mah room?”

Quickly, AJ attempted to turn this on Apple Bloom.

“You don't get to ask the questions young missy.” Applejack rapidly proclaimed sternly with her hands on her hip, then later swiftly crossing her arms.

“Yes ah do, it’s MAH room!” Apple Bloom called out. “What were you even doin’ anyway?”

“Ah was…” Applejack was now running out of excuses, until suddenly she remembered that she was supposed to ask her sister about the online profile.

“You don’t happen to know who Anon A Miss is, do ya Apple Bloom..?” Confronted AJ

“Duh! Isn’t it obviously Sunset?” Apple Bloom claimed, with a hint of edginess. “Y’all literally dropped her after finding out.” She was now noticeably fidgeting with her fingers.

“Uh huh…” AJ muttered with doubt. “You better not be lyin’ Apple Bloom. You know how ah and everyone else in this household feels about it.” Applejack stated with her right hand index finger now pointing at Apple Bloom.

“I’m not lyin’ I’m 100% honest, promise!” Apple Bloom voiced with the slightest indication of jumpiness as AJs arm was now returned to her hip position.

“Mm hmm…” Applejack said with a suspicious tone as she walked past Apple Bloom into the hallway towards her bedroom.

“Good night.” AJ added as she walked towards her bedroom and shut the door behind her.

She hopped onto her bed contemplating whether or not she should still continue with her investigation, as Apple Bloom was getting suspicious of her. She then realised what a dumbass suggestion she just made, Sunset was probably framed and if she did not carry on with the experiment… She shuddered at the thought.

Just the thought of Sunset, on the verge of giving up all hope just because her so called “friends” didn’t trust and just assumed she was Anon A Miss was enough to make AJ stick with her plan.

She was determined to find out who was actually running the gossip page, even if it cost her to go to desperate measures.

Next day at school was a blur, most of the things AJ had remembered were the arguments, fights and altercations in the hallways caused by none other than Anon A Miss.

People being shoved into lockers, people shoving and yelling at each other, it was just so messy.

Later during lunch, AJ found it quite awkward around her friends, bearing in mind that they literally just shoved off Sunset due to her being Anon A Miss.

Although they didn't say it, they all admitted to their hearts that it felt as if a part of them was missing since Sunset was dropped. But, given the current situation, it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring Sunset back into their friend group, especially since all the repercussions would be received by the students at CHS.

Though they were all racked with these thoughts, they still stayed silent.

“You guys, I don’t think it’s Sunset.”

Applejack broke the silence.

“What are you talking about?” Rarity gasped. “It was clearly her, if not, then how did all the photos end up on the Anon A Miss page?”

“Yeah, it was obviously her,” Rainbow exclaimed.

“Nah but, what if someone had framed her to make it seem like the posts were coming from her?” AJ noted. “What if it-”

AJ was stopped by Pinkie Pie.

“Are you really trying to defend her!” “All of the evidence points to her, AJ!”

“Evidence that could’ve been easily planted on Sunset.” Applejack responded. “I think I know who the suspects are!” She proclaimed as she suddenly stood up sprinted outside of the cafeteria doors

The girls each turned to each other and shrugged their shoulders. There's no way it wasn’t Sunset, they all thought.

She searched everywhere and bam, behind the bleachers, a group of the CMCs gathered together with Apple Bloom being the only one with her phone out.

She was showing the other 2 girls about something on her phone and they all giggled amongst themselves as she hushed them.

Though AJ could barely make out what they were murmuring about, she knew that it probably wasn’t about anything wholesome.

Still tryna listen in, Applejack could only make out the certain words; “Sunset”, “Profile”, “Secrets” and “Password’.

AJ, now knowing without questionable doubt. The CMC were running Anon A Miss. With a better understanding, she decided to gather all of her evidence, in her head.

Apple Bloom was the one who knew AJ’s nickname and backstory before she told Sunset. She created the Anon-A-Miss profile and immediately posted about it, accusing Sunset. She probably had one of her cheeky friends download all of Sunset’s pictures onto her own device. Now, they were scheming something big and evil.

But what Applejack couldn’t understand was, why? Why would Apple Bloom try to jeopardise AJ’s friendship with Sunset? This hurt Applejack, so she decided till after school to ask her little sister.

Later that night, AJ walked toward Apple Blooms bedroom door and knocked, entering herself in without permission while leaning her back on the left of her door frame.

“We need to talk.”
