Sunset Shimmer learns of Beauty and the Beast and one day, she sings a song to the girls, and proves that she can change.


Prologue: Anon-a-miss

It was the week before the christmas holidays and Sunset Shimmer and her friends were at Pinkie Pie's house, having fun, messing about, like most teens. A call came through from Applejack's phone, from Applebloom.


The next day at school, someone had posted a post about Applejack's childhood nickname, Piggly Wiggly. Applejack and the girls were horrified.


As time went by, more and more posts were posted about the girls. Sunset was the worst affected. The girls she called friends had abandoned her, no one cared about her. Sunset had no one to go to, not even Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna. Then she remembered her journal, that let her communicate with the Princess of Friendship in Equestria . Sunset took her pen from behind her ear and wrote the words: Dear Princess Twilight,

No one knows who Anon-a-miss is but I do know it's not me. But everyone has accused me, thinking I have gone back to my old ways. Things are hard for me, you're the only person I can talk to. Even Fluttershy and the others have gone against me. Do you have any advice?

Your friend, Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset sighed, kneeling in front of her locker. Her journal started to glow!

Dear Sunset,

Remember, in your heart, ask yourself, who is your family? Would the Sunset Shimmer you know, the current one, the kind, sweet, one, would she do this? You must think that. Maybe ask the girls these too. Remember, you have me.

Your friend, Twilight Sparkle

Sunset smiled slightly, heading towards the music room, with her guitar. Sunset strummed a few notes, letting the music engulf her. As the music got more powerful, she started to grow ears and tails and a mane. The 5 girls, the Rainbooms, came in, watching the red head pony up. Rainbow Dash watched in shock. "How?" asked Rainbow Dash, to herself. "How did she do it?"

The girls quietly tiptoed out. "Meet me at my house for a secret meeting." hissed Applejack.


The mane 5 talked for hours at Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack smiled. "Hey, y'all. Er, whatcha say about makin' up to Sunset?"

"But we have no proof who it is." argued Rainbow Dash. "We need to work it out."
