After losing sight of Sunset Shimmer, The Rainbooms had no choice but to give up and go home. They were saddened that they lost their chance to apologize to their hurt friend. Applejack arrived at Sweet Apple Acres and entered the back door to find Granny Smith and
Big Mac sitting at the dinner table with supper all set.
“I’m home.” The cowgirl sighed then looked around. “Where’s Applebloom?”
“the poor dear hasn’t said a word since the assembly at school.” Granny Smith explained.
“She must really feel very guilty about that whole Anon-a-miss nonsense.”
“Eyup.” Big Mac added.
“I blame myself.” Applejack sat down. “If I just invited Bloom to join us, she wouldn’t have felt left out and she wouldn’t have done that with her friends!”
“Nope.” Big Mac said.
Applejack began to beat herself up more. “And then I wouldn’t have accused Sunset and tossed her like a rotten apple core! Especially when I told her she was family! And- and-”
Granny Smith patted the girl’s hand. “There there, Applejack. Even family makes mistakes and that could’ve been a whole lot worse than it already was.”
“Maybe.” Applejack whispered.
After dinner, Applejack went up to Applebloom’s room and knocked on her door.
“Applebloom? Are you awake?” there was no answer. “Sugarcube, if you can hear me, I’m sorry I made you feel left out, but Sunset had no family and I promised Twilight I’d help her understand friendship. And I wanted to give her a family out of all of us. And now Sunset Shimmer won’t talk to us. I’ve failed her. I’ve failed Twilight. I've failed you. All I ask is that for a chance to make it up to you and Sunset. At least for Christmas.”
Not hearing a word, Applejack sulky walked to her room, unaware that despite depressed,
Applebloom did hear what her sister said.

After eating her meal, Sunset changed into her pajamas and continued to read the book Mr. Neezer gave her. She was on the part where the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, was visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marly, when she started to feel sleepy. So she bookmarked her place, turned off her lamp, and went to sleep.
Suddenly, she was awoken by a spooky voice calling her name. “Sunset Shimmer.”
She was half asleep at first before the voice was closer. “Sunset Shimmer.”
“Who-who’s there?” Sunset cried hearing footsteps climbing up to her bed.
“a friend.” The voice answered as the figure made it to her bed. The figure wore green spandex, a white belt with a buckle holding a coin, white gloves and boots with green stripes, a golden shield over his shoulders, and a green helmet that resembled a dragon.
“What do you want with me?” Sunset asked.
“You have nothing to worry. I came to help you.” The green ranger said.
“How can you help me?”
“Because I have been where you are now.” The ranger then took off his helmet, revealing a human teenager with long brown hair. “My name is Tommy Oliver. When I moved to a new town, an evil witch named Rita put a spell on me, chose me as her green ranger. I did a lot of things I regret. Then ones I once considered enemies broke the spell and gave me another chance.”
“I realize it is similar to me, but you were turned against your will. I was evil to begin with.” Sunset sighed.
“perhaps, but I have seen what would’ve happened if I rejected that second chance.” Tommy held out his hand as a screen showed another version of him. Sunset gasped to see Tommy in a white outfit, a green shield, gold gauntlets, a helmet shaped of a dragon tiger hybrid, towering over all. “In this alternate reality, I went back to that witch Rita, led her forces to war, stole another ranger’s powers, and hunted down anyone, ranger or not, who stood against me. I called myself Lord Drakkon and I acted like a god, treating everyone like they were beneath me.”
“Please. I don’t want to see no more.” Sunset cringed in sorrow. As Tommy put away the screen, she then asked the ranger. “Why would you help me?”
“Because I know you can be released from the shackles of your past. It’s not too late to make amends with your friends.”
“They tossed me aside and abandoned me! After they claimed I was part of their family.”
“But if you don’t let them apologize, you’ll be no better than them.”
“I….just don’t think I can face them right now.” Sunset sighed.
Tommy then put his helmet back on. “Here’s the deal. In the next three nights, you will have a visitor each night. Without their visits, you will never have the compassion to face your friends.” As he turned to leave, the green ranger then turned back to Sunset. “Expect the first visitor tomorrow night when the bell tolls one.” And with that, he took his leave, saying.
“Farewell, Sunset Shimmer, and good luck.”

Good Messenger to give Sunset the warning

Like How Marley had the same avarice sins as Scrooge, Someone had to be in the same boat as Sunset

Most mobile devices have some form of security suite (pin, lock, fingerprint scanner, etc).
11042956
If that had been done, there would have been no movie.
11042971
Similarly, Applejack rebukes AB when the latter insinuates Sunset is AaM.
11042974
That is a good solution. Perhaps I'm just odd in that I turn my phone off at night.
Sweet jiminy-criminy, it looks like someone else reads the Boom comics Rangers titles.
It’s nice to see the GOAT.
11043284
Guilty as charged
11043285
The what?
11041728
I agree with you that to her friends didn't abandon her out of malice. But you evidence doesn't justify it as much as you think, rainbows will clearly hurt but if they stepped back and examined it from an outside perspective they would have realized that sunset was very obviously being framed. In the comics they were letting the emotions drive them so you can forgive them for that to but that does not excuse how absolutely offer the flaming was, the profile picture was literally was silhouette with her collars sunset would never do something like that
11043356
Also notice how the account never claimed to be Sunset. It left everybody to jump to conclusions.
11043360
They also told her she was family. I get that it happened early on and their friendship when they still didn't 100% trust her, but they shouldn't have called her family if they still held a little bit of animosity towards her. Again I understand their actions and can see why they did what they did, but that still doesn't make it okay and it still doesn't excuse that what they did was wrong, they still did refuse to hear her side of the story
11043367
The comic essentially constitutes a gigantic continuity snarl.
Go Go Power Rangers!
11043369
The biggest one for me is with sunset and Twilight both happening the journal, in the comic sunset how to first sleepover but Twilight didn't get the journal until Battle of the bands in which all of the girls including sunset has a sleepover, and there's no way to fix it if you put it before Battle of the bands how does twilight have the journal if you put it afterwards then pinky sleepover isn't sunsets first
11043371
The other solution is to put it before Rainbow Rocks and remove the journal.
11043374
To me personally putting it before rainbow rocks makes the air a lot bigger, when you put it after all you have to remove is sunset saying that that was her first sleepover and it doesn't really mess with the story at all if you just removed that one line
11043376
But the Rainbooms' trust problems don't make sense after RR, as Sunset helped them save the day.
11043380
Agreed. I'd fire the script writer
11043384
Apparently Ted Anderson had to rewrite the comic at very short notice.
11043390
Probably was a whole lot worse
11043399
It was supposed to take place between the original film and RR, but he was told to add elements from RR at the last minute.
11043240
But greed and not bothering to care were his problems. Sunset went on her way to mean till the rainbow knocked sense into her.
11043403
And I thought DreamWave comics were idiots
11043432
You're tellig me.
11043298
Greatest Of All Time? You never heard that?
11043365
They aren’t?
11043460
As a matter of fact, no I haven't
11043464
Oh. it's a sarcastic thing?
11043467
Wow, that’s popular around the media.
11043469
I’m not being sarcastic. I honestly didn’t know that.
11043470
I see.
11043472
I see
...wtf xD
I was not expecting that.
Please let the ghost of Christmas future be something random like michel myers xD
11046229
It’s going to be another hasbro related character. Not gonna say who.
Kinda lost me a bit when the power rangers showed up.
11059455
The idea was that other characters would be Sunset’s visitors like the ghosts who visited Scrooge in a Christmas carol.
