3	-> "Look... when people keep being angry and hating each other... where does it end? I've seen it where it just keeps going and it's not right. Someone has to be bigger and just finally let it go and move on. The people at your school should have let it go, but they didn't... and your friends should have been real friends and stuck by you because they knew you changed... but they didn't because deep down, they couldn't let go either. That's ''their'' failing, not yours. No one can tell you who or what you are except you. And who you are is a good person Sunset Shimmer. I could see that even though we only hung out for like, an hour or so the day we met. So don't you ever let anyone else ever make you feel bad again, alright?"

22	----
23	!! This fic provides examples of:
24	* AccusationFic: Starts out as this and keeps themes of such throughout. However, the main focus is Sunset Shimmer's growth as a character out in Los Pegasus.
25	** However, given the [[spoiler: generally]] lighter tone of the series, it can also be seen as a [[Main/FixFic FixFic]].
26	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: A major side plot of "What I Got" involves [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash's crush on Sunset, and how she hoped to rebuild their friendship to make an attempt to act on it. She loses to Jackie.]]
27	* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: To IDW's [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWHolidays2014 My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Holiday Special]]
28	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: In ''All Apologies'', when Human!Twilight aborbs the Humane Five's magic and transforms into Midnight Sparkle. [[spoiler: She only lasts a few moments before Principal Chrysalis grabs the magic capture device and steals it for herself.]]
29	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: The Humane 5]] during the final battle of ''All Apologies''.
30	* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: Principal Chrysalis]] tends to be this, given that she is able to order around the Humane 5 during the Friendship Games in ways that Sunset could have only dreamed of.
31	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Principal Chrysalis]] is able to keep Vice-Principal Luna silent by hanging this over her. Not much is said, but it's described to be a 'nightmare.'
32	** Jackie seems to have a whiff of this about her as well, given her [[spoiler: past drug abuse.]]
33	* EasilyForgiven: Subverted, given that most of the story deals with Sunset recovering from the betrayal and her deciding whether or not she can forgive her friends.
34	* EnemyWithin: Sunset is still weary of the dark magic that she used back during the Fall Formal.
35	* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash in "What I Got." When they first meet in the story, Rainbow picks a fight with Jackie so severe that they need to be broken up. Later, just after Jackie and Sunset have their RelationshipUpgrade, it's discovered that Rainbow had entered the Rainbooms into the contest that the Pony Breakers were competing in. It comes to a head when Jackie and Sunset reveal their relationship. Rainbow becomes immediately angry and challenges Jackie to a magic powered guitar battle that she loses. All of this was because Rainbow had a crush on Sunset and she resented Jackie for taking Sunset away before she had a chance to do anything about it.]]
36	* LeeroyJenkins: Jackie has a habit of running in without a plan.
37	* MeaningfulName: Jackie Vibrato's name is taken from Jackson brand guitars.
38	** Poppet Valve runs a auto repair shop.
39	* TheScapegoat: Sunset leaves Canterlot because of being treated as this by the rest of Canterlot High.
40	* ShoutOut: According to ''What I Got'', Jackie watches television shows such as [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Biggy Primate]] and [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Stephanie Galaxy]].
41	* SlapSlapKiss: More like locked door, locked door, [[spoiler: sex]].
42	* StoryArc: While the following three stories are all sequels, they continue the direct fallout of the Anon-A-Miss incident.
43	** Word of God states that the Anon-a-Miss plot will only be the first.
44	* TorsoWithAView: [[spoiler: Sunset gets a hole blasted through her torso by Chrysalis in the penultimate chapter of ''All Apologies''.]]
