The next day I bump into Soarin between our second and third-period classes. I am about to call him up from a distance with a, "Hey, bro," when I notice his face looking almost as perplexed as Caramel was yesterday. I decide to run over to him and talk to him quietly.
"Hey, Soarin, are you okay?" I ask.
"Nope," He says bluntly.
"What's up? Did something happen?" I ask.
Soarin doesn't say anything at first. He continues walking until he sighs and turns to face me. With all he can muster, he says four words that confused me.
"Sunset Shimmer is Anon-a-Miss."
My face is befuddled for a couple of seconds as I try to process what he said.
"What?" I manage to say.
"She's Anon-a-Miss," He says again. "I was about to speak to Fluttershy and the other Rainbooms about my idea for me and Rainbow Dash, but then I saw them looking broken-hearted. I asked what happened, and they said that Sunset Shimmer was behind the posts. They said when they were heading to school this morning, they saw Anon-a-Miss post pictures that were taken during their slumber party of them wearing a bunch of silly outfits from Rarity's closet. All of the pictures came from Sunset Shimmer's phone, and whatever ones had her in them were conveniently cropped out. They had just confronted her when I saw them, and they pretty much told her off."
I stand there, surprised. I have no idea how to react to this information.
"B-but I thought she was her friend and-" I begin before Soarin interrupts.
"Yeah, well, I guess not," Soarin says. "The way Pinkie Pie was explaining it, she was pretending to be their friend just so she could learn their secrets and use them against them. So I guess you were right all along, Rough Draft. Sunset Shimmer is still as cruel and conniving as ever."
I stand there, speechless. Soarin takes this moment to chuckle.
"You wanted to be proven right this whole time, bro. Now you have your chance to say that you told me so," he says.
"Umm... that's okay, I don't really feel like saying it," I say. "I guess after she helped me get Octavia's necklace, I was starting to believe she's good, and now..."
"Heh, talk about ironic timing, I guess," Soarin says with a sad chuckle. "At least eventually everyone will know, and she'll be outcast for good and unable to do more harm to the Rainbooms."
"Yeah, I guess," I say reluctantly.

Third person P.O.V.
A couple of days have passed since the mysterious posts from Anon-a-Miss started. Even though everyone believes that Sunset Shimmer is the culprit, the posts have continued to reveal more embarrassing things about the Rainbooms. Rainbow Dash is infuriated for Anon-a-Miss publishing posts about her bad grades and refuses to be comforted by her friends or her boyfriend, Soarin. Applejack is getting sick of receiving various texts that make fun of her family nickname. Rarity regularly wears a large coat and sunglasses to try to hide the shame from the photos that were posted about her failed fashion experiments, but students can easily recognize her from the style of her outfit. And poor Fluttershy was nearly drowning in her own tears after Anon-a-Miss posted a video shaming her singing voice during one of the slumber parties with Sunset Shimmer and the other Rainbooms.
