If I were Sunset, where would I go, Rarity thought to herself as she compared everything she knew about the situation. She didn't go back to her homeland, I wonder why she didn't return to her home, maybe Twilight knows? She pulled out her phone and looked at the number that Sunset had called her from. All that she could tell was that it was a local Canterlot number. And there is the fact that one day Sunset's guitar disappeared over night. It suddenly hit Rarity like a ton of bricks. The answer had been so obvious that Rarity hadn't originally given it any thought.
"And now I feel like a fool for not seeing it before," Rarity said to herself.
"Why do you feel like a fool," Sweetie Belle asked as she was walking past her sister's room and Rarity had left her door open.
"I figured out where Sunset is," Rarity replied.
"That's terrific," Sweetie Belle exclaimed, "let's go so that I can apologize to her."
"It's not that simple," Rarity said, "let me explain. I know who Sunset has been staying with since her disappearance, and I know that they are in Canterlot. Unfortunately I don't know where in Canterlot that is. Besides you owe alot more people than just Sunset an apology."
"I know that I owe everyone an apology," Sweetie Belle said, "but I want, no, I need to apologize to Sunset first."
"How noble of you," Rarity said "I only hope that your friends feel the same way."
"I know that Scootaloo does," Sweetie Belle said, "I'm not sure about Applebloom."
"I'll leave it in your capable hands to make her see reason," Rarity said.
"And if she doesn't," Sweetie Belle asked.
"We tell AJ," Rarity said nonchalantly.

Scootaloo was distracted. Rainbow Dash could tell that much just by looking at the younger girl. Rainbow had been trying to teach Scootaloo how to be a better goalie in soccer, but Rainbow had managed to score three goals and Scoots hadn't even tried to stop them. She just stood there with a bb worried look on her face.
"Earth to Scootaloo," Rainbow called, "hey Scootaloo, snap out of it!"
"Huh, what was that Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo asked.
"What's wrong with you today Squirt," Rainbow said, "normally you pay complete attention to every word I say, but today you are distracted by something. What's wrong?"
Scootaloo hesitated, she knew that it was time to come clean about Anon-A-Miss, but she didn't want to lose Rainbow Dash as her mentor and pseudo big sister.
"I know who Anon-A-Miss really is," Scootaloo said after a moment.
"Yeah," Rainbow said, "it's the traitor known as Sunset Shimmer."
"No," Scootaloo answered, "she is innocent."
Rainbow's eyes narrowed. She looked Scootaloo over. She was beginning to suspect who the real culprit, or culprits were.
"How could you do this Scootaloo," Rainbow said, "the three of you turned the whole school against each other, but worse than that you framed an innocent person, one of my best friends!"
"I'm sorry Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo cried, "Sweetie Belle and I tried to stop, but Apple Bloom kept insisting that we keep posting. Please don't stop being my big sister, and please don't hate me."
"I could never hate you Squirt," Rainbow said, "I am extremely disappointed in your actions. But I guess that I wouldn't be the most awesome big sister if I didn't try to help you fix this mess."
"So you forgive me," Scootaloo asked.
"Yes Scootaloo," Rainbow replied, "I forgive you. I don't condone what you've done in the slightest, but I forgive you."
Seeing the younger girl weep tears of relief, as though a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders was almost too much for Rainbow Dash and she enveloped Scootaloo in a warm embrace.

Apple Bloom was busy typing away at a new post for Anon-A-Miss. She couldn't believe all the bits gossip that the other students at CHS were sending in. There were rumors that Silver Spoon wasn't as wealthy as she seemed. Lyra kept sending in information about a lost kingdom made up of sentient ponies. Even more interesting was the photographs that Pipsqueak had sent in that showed Lyra and Bon-Bon kissing in the gym. Everything was gold! And as long as everybody thought that Sunset was behind it, then she and her friends would get away Scot free. Her only worry was that both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle would chicken out and confess. That would ruin everything.
I can't do it myself, Applebloom thought to herself, Anon-A-Miss has become too large for one person to handle. Maybe I could bring Diamond Tiara in on it. Applebloom shuddered at the thought. She had been friends with Diamond Tiara in Elementary School, but during Middle School, Diamond Tiara had turned into a bully much like Sunset had once been, and Applebloom had been her primary target.
"Applejack, Applebloom," Granny Smith called from the kitchen, "supper is ready."
Applebloom got up from the computer, and headed downstairs. Applejack had just finished taking a shower after completing her after school chores around the farm.
"I'll be down in a minute," Applejack called from her room.
Applebloom entered the family dining room and looked at the amazing supper that Granny Smith had made. Home made fried chicken, mashed potatoes with home made gravy. Ice cold sweet tea, and to top it all off, piping hot apple cobbler. Looking at the meal, Applebloom suddenly got the feeling that she had forgotten something important. Then it dawned on her, she hadn't logged off of Anon-A-Miss MyStable page. Applebloom rushed up the stairs, taking them two at the time. The computer was located at the end of the hall so that anyone that needed to use it could access it. She found that the page was still up. She quickly moved the mouse cursor over the "log out" button and clicked it. Sighing in relief, Applebloom turned around and found Applejack standing right behind her. In her hand Applejack was holding a print-out of the user interface page for Anon-A-Miss.
"Applebloom," Applejack said angrily, "I want answers and I want them now!"
Busted
10992029
I don't think anyone saw that one coming.
10992034
I most certainly didn't honestly who would be dumb enough to leave the most damning piece of evidence just laying around why not just leave a Smoking Gun right next to it
10992043
Applebloom is the one that made the mistake of bringing Anon-A-Miss into her home.
Bust-ed.
10992029 BIG time.
Welp, that's three for three outed now.
Now we just have to wait for the ensuing fall out.
10992080
Oh that's true and I got a feeling Applebloom is going to get the worst of the lot of them as the other two already out right confessed yeah Applebloom had fully intended to keep the whole damn thing going
She acts like that’s the worst thing she’s seen.
10992094
And also those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks rainbow dash, what exactly was it you said you were going to do to sunset and how many people have tried to stand up for her and you shot down
10992091 Yep, on all counts.
10992102
Something I noticed in these anon-a-miss stories is that the biggest hypocrites are the one’s that talk the most amount of sh*t.
10992174
Yeah that better be addressed!!
10992174
Truth
10992198
I’m hoping so too, because so far I’m seeing a lot of hypocrites. More are probably coming.
Friend!? You just said she was a traitor, like, 2 seconds ago!
Like how you helped Sunset?
Well that was fast!
I wonder how this'll play out when they find Sunset?
Will Sunset call bull on Dash for not only forgiving Scoots so quickly, but is also willing to help her deal with the mess she made, yet was willing to not only cut ties with Sunset, but also wanted to physically harm her.
Bloom: "...You're willing to throw away a friend on the flimsiest of details."
Aj:
Bloom: "Have fun with your answer!"
10992269
Up the the writer. HEAR THAT The Crazed Werewolf you wrote it, you need to address it.

You all make good points, but remember, Sunset has been out of the loop since her disappearance. That being said, I don't intend to let Rainbow, AJ and Pinkie off lightly.
All I can say about this that I really hope Applejack won't be dumb enough to believe Apple Bloom's lies.
10992281
Ummm stupid question... What that have to do with the girls being STUPID ^%^$?!
They were before, after and during Sunset's disappearance.
10992287
They will get what they deserve.
10992292
I most certainly hope so because letting them off scot-free after practically having her throne to the wolfs would not be the right course of action
My God, this must be the most electrifying chapter for any story that I've written.
10992307
Well no fault to you. but you sort fell into the trap or cliche of Anon A Miss.
The girls forgive the CMC so easily while they gave Sunset such a hard time.
I mean just a snap of the fingers they ready to forgive them, while with Sunset they treated her so badly for so long.
not asking they get beaten up or thrown out, but the Rainbooms should realize and feel more guilty for that.
10992315
See I was thinking the exact same thing honestly if something like this happened in real life they would be spending some real jail time and a lot of other things too not to mention that anyone thought that something like that were the case they have to have flowers growing in their heads
10992315
Rarity has forgiven Sweetie Belle, but she hasn't let her off the hook yet. Rainbow has forgiven Scootaloo, but we don't know to what degree. As for Applejack, she hasn't forgiven Applebloom, and I don't intend to have her forgive Applebloom so easily. Remember which element of Harmony each of these girls are supposed to represent.
10992316
Well was refering to the Rainbooms.
What dash said is pretty stupid or make her sound pretty stupid. She says all that after what she done and not done?
I think even Scoota would be giving her a .WTF Expression.
10992319
Ok. But again Dash really needs to think on what she said and done and failed to do.
10992281 Ah, good point.
Forgot about that.
And Pinkie?
AJ and Dash I can understand not getting off lightly (what with AB and Scoots being tbeir sisters (well, honorary with Dash and Scoots, but you get my drift), but I'm a bit confused when it comes to Pinkie.
Could you clarify this, please?
10992372
Remember Pinkie's attitude at the beginning of the story? She asked Rainbow Dash to "Leave some for the rest of us." Pretty damning if you want my opinion. But anyways you are all going to have to wait for the next chapter to find out what happens.
Besides Sunset has already forgiven Rarity it seems.
10992390 Ah, okay.
Yeah, I had, and yes, it definitely is.
Not a problem.
Good stuff like this is always worth waiting for.
As to that, good.
Maybe now the healing.... for everyone.... can begin.
10992272
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if dash finds a way to turn it around on sunset.
But who I saw she with is the question?
You got to do what you have to do scootaloo.
Well, she's busted now.
10992319
Why?
YAY, NEW CHAPTER !!!!!!!!!!!!
I just hope Sunset doesn't forgive them period and abandons them like they abandoned her.
Yay new chapter. Glad you are ok and that the story will continue. Look forward to the next one.
EPIC FAIL!
Well I see someone is BUSTED!
10992390
Welcome back, mellonin!
Bum bum BUUUM...BUSTED!
10992390
I can't wait for the next chapter. It going to be surprise for sure. Scoots and Ab are BUSTED
Seriously, why wouldn't you shut your web browser before leaving the room? That's data security 101.
Also, there is no printer on the planet that could print that quickly.
