Epilogue: Lesson Learned, Trust Earned

The following morning was a cold and snowy one. The girls had met each other on the steps near the entrance of their school. After they exchanged their ‘hellos’, it was quiet for the three, except for the sounds of students chattering as they walked up through the school's entrance.

“Yall, ah literally got my phone taken away, plus, ah’m grounded for three weeks.” Apple Bloom said, breaking the awkward silence.

“You think that's bad!? I literally got scolded for like an hour straight, grounded, and my phone was also taken away!” Scootaloo said trying to one up Apple Bloom.

They both turned to Sweetie awaiting a response from her.

“Oh! Well I guess I got my phone taken and I can only use my laptop for school purposes, nothing too extreme.” Sweetie shrugged off.

“Oh.” The girls said before looking down, Scoots was now kicking a small pebble on the ground.

“I guess we should apologise to Applejacks friends,” Apple Bloom stated. “We really hurt their feelings.”

They all nodded yeah and then walked into the entrance of CHS, walking through the halls towards the group of seniors.

“Hey squirts,” Rainbow proclaimed as she turned towards the freshmen, “Heard you’ve got something to say to us.”

The girls hesitated.

“Well darlings, we’re waiting..” Rarity declared, impatient while crossing her arms.

“TICK TOCK TICK TOCK” Pinkie Pie said, being ‘Pinkie Pie’.

“Well, we wanted to say that..” The younger girls looked at eachother. “We’re sorry.”

The older girls turned their backs and talked amongst themselves in a whisper and then shortly after turned towards the youngins.

“We accept you guys’s apologies.” Fluttershy spoke up.

“Yeah, we forgive yalls, though we're still pretty miffed.” Applejack stated as she pulled them up in a big hug.

“GROUP HUG!!!” Pinkie yelled as she joined in as well. Soon they were all in a hug and hadn’t even noticed that the school bell had rung.

Rainbow pulled herself away from the hug. “Oh shoot! I have P.E, my teachers gonna kill me if I’m late, see ya laters!” She yelled as she scrambled through the halls to the gymnasium after the girls waved goodbye.

“Ah guess me and the girls should head on to class as well, Mr. Cranky Doodle hates it when we’re late.” Apple Bloom added brushing a stray lock from her face.

The girls turned back and interlocked their arms and skipped to their respective class, sharing a giggle.

Finally, the tension had worn off and a sense of relief hung in the air around them. The peace had been restored between the groups of the two girls.

Back to Applejack and her friends, they were just glad the girls had admitted their wrong and apologised. It takes a lot of courage to do that.

She turned towards Sunset and gave her a lil side hug.

“It’s crazy, if ah had’nt done this investigation, we woulda neva known it wasn’t ya.”

“I’d be really heartbroken,” Sunset replied as she also put her arm around AJ. “Glad to know we caught the miscreants responsible for this whole mess.” She chuckled to herself.

The girls walked over to their lockers and grabbed their stuff for the first period then scurried off to their classes.

CHS was now peaceful (slightly) after the Anon A Miss account was taken down. There were barely any fights or arguments, though the CMC were still not forgiven by everyone, at least they atoned for their sins.

The CMC noticed some of the dirty glares of some of the students shooting daggers, but they moved on so they let it not get to them.

“I-I know we apologised, but why do people still look at us as if we’re still those troublemakers?” Sweet choked meekly.

“Just give it time, they’ll trust us soon enough, what we did was pretty mean.” Scoots replied. “We can’t just expect them to forgive us instantly.”

The girls' un-interlocked arms then took a deep breath before opening the door to their classroom and as soon as they did, the majority of the class turned their heads and shot daggers at them.

They sighed sadly and sat in their assigned seats, trying to ignore the heavy atmosphere as Mr. Cranky Doodle continued with the lesson. It was about cyber safety. Everybody eyed the CMC once more as the group lowered their heads in shame as the lesson was directed towards them.

The girls then learned the dangers of the web. What's posted on the internet, stays on the internet. Whatever they post, they can't retrieve it, before you know it, they’re being saved into hard drives or ‘whatever computer stuff this generation is on’, Mr. Cranky Doodles words, not mine, hehe.

When people post hurtful things, it can cause depression, bullying, anxiety and sewerslide.

Posting unsensible stuff like that could even prevent you from having a good future/job since most employers do background checks, so… be careful on the net!

The End!!1
