In which Sonata becomes a pony

Author's Note

Imagining having a little pony Sonata of my own made me just want to die as I wrote this! :rainbowkiss:
Also, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge on the anatomy of a pony. :derpytongue2:

In which Sonata becomes a pony

The house of the Dazzlings was quiet one winter night. Although it was nearly midnight, two of the girls were still up and about. Adagio Dazzle was watching TV in the living room, while Aria Blaze sat in the neighboring room, eating her macaroni and cheese sandwich in silence.

On the second floor, Sonata Dusk was sleeping under feathery covers, blankets patterned with doves and hearts. Her blue hair was out of its ponytail, and it was messily strewn across her pillows. Sonata breathed peacefully, no doubt having a nice, cuddly dream about penguins. Penguins similar to the stuffed one tucked under her right arm.

~*~

Sonata stood in the middle of Antarctica. She wore a magenta coat, earmuffs, and a pair of sparkly snow boots. Surrounding Sonata in the snowy wonderland was a large flock of penguins.

"Wait, is it flocks?" she wondered out loud. "Or is it gaggles? Or pack? Or squad?" After giving the matter some thought, Sonata shrugged. "Who cares? They're penguins!" She bent down to pet the penguins.

"Aren't you just adorable?" she gushed, picking up a penguin chick. "I wanna snuggle you forever!" Sonata stroked the little fuzzball, feeling his warm, feathery down.

"Sonata..."

Upon hearing a voice, Sonata looked up, looking for the source.

"Hello?" she asked, gently putting the baby penguin down and straightening to her full height. "Did somebody call me?"

"I did," said the voice. Out of nowhere, a pony materialized in front of Sonata. Sonata gasped in delight. The penguins dissolved into the snow, and snowflakes began to fall. The delicate crafts brushed against Sonata as she stared at the newcomer.

"Who are you?" she asked the pony, who was an alicorn of all things.

"You don't remember me, Sonata Dusk?" the mare asked. Sonata thought about it.

"Hmmmm..." What alicorn did she know that had a dark blue coat, a wavy indigo mane that flowed like water, inquisitive turquoise eyes, and a moon on her butt?

"Never seen you before!" Sonata replied matter-of-factly. The alicorn rolled her eyes, though a smile was on her face.

"How typical of you, Sonata Dusk. I am Princess Luna." She flapped her wings and flew closer to Sonata.

"Ooooooh!" Sonata nodded like she had known all along, but the silly grin on her face betrayed the fact. "So, why are you here, Princess?" Sonata asked.

"I'm here on a whim," Luna answered bluntly. Her voice lost the mystical touch it had carried before. "I want to grant you a single wish. What do you want?"

"I want a-"

"It has to be within reason," Luna reminded her. "Aria cannot be sent to the moon."

"Aaaaaw." Sonata hung her head in defeat, but a second later she was back in action.

"I wish to be a..." Sonata paused for dramatic effect.

"PONY!" Sonata cheered, the word appearing behind her in a shower of fireworks. A marching band consisting of penguins appeared out of thin air. Sonata beamed widely. Luna nodded.

"That's a pretty cool wish, Sonata. But I can only make you a pony for one day. Got it?" Luna asked.

"Got it!" Sonata confirmed confidently. "I can't wait to wake up!"

~*~

"Adagio, wanna go wake Sonata up?" Aria asked, motioning to the clock on the wall. 5:32. Adagio smirked.

"Nothing else is on TV," she replied. "And I would like to see her in a sleep-deprived state." Adagio clicked the TV off and set the remote down.

"Then let's go." Aria and Adagio crept up the stairs and stood right outside Sonata's door.

"One," mouthed Adagio to Aria, "two, three!" She pushed the door open and stared into the room. There was nobody inside.

"Did we miss a memo?" Aria hissed. "Where is she?"

"I don't know!" Adagio snapped. Her gaze swept across the room once more.

"Wait." She held up a hand. "What's that on Sonata's bed?" A little lump under the covers was placed where Sonata's chest would usually be.

"I don't know," Aria muttered. "Check it out, Dagi."

"Alright, alright," Adagio grumbled. She cautiously stepped forward.

The lump moved.

Adagio froze.

Neither girl breathed as they waited for whatever the lump was to attack. It didn't move. After a minute of inactivity, Aria whispered, "Keep going, Adagio." Adagio nodded. She placed another foot forward, not taking her eyes off the lump. When she was sure it wouldn't move again, Adagio took one final stride and ended up right next to the bed. In the next moment, Aria was beside her.

"Take off the covers," Aria ordered quietly.

"What if it kills me?" Adagio whispered back. Aria glared at her.

"Then I'll raid your closet. Now, do it!" she retorted. Adagio made a reluctant face and grasped the edge of the sheet in her hand. Quick as a flash, she whipped it back.

Aria screamed in such a high pitch windows broke downstairs. Adagio screamed in horror, backing away.

"WHAT IS THAT?" Aria yelled in disgust.

On the bed was a tiny pony, no more than two feet tall, curled up for sleep. She was a soft baby blue, with long blue hair streaked with navy blue. As Adagio stared at the repulsive creature, she noticed a jagged blue music note on the pony's flank, layered on top of a pink heart.

"It's so cute it's sickening!" Aria continued on.

"Aria," Adagio snapped, her gaze never leaving the pony. "It's Sonata." Aria froze. She looked at the pony and noticed the same similarities Adagio had noticed.

"Oh no," she muttered. "Wake her up, Adagio. Ponies are too cute when they sleep."

"I think I got diabetes just now," Adagio replied sourly. She poked Sonata's side with her finger. "Sonata? Wake up, sleepy head."

"You've got a lot of explaining to do," Aria added. Sonata rolled over at Adagio's prodding. Her tiny hooves flew up in a stretching motion. Adagio shut her eyes. This was too cute.

When she opened her eyes again, a pair of large magenta eyes was staring straight at Adagio.

"Aaah!" Adagio stumbled back.

"Adagio!" Sonata exclaimed gleefully. Adagio and Aria watched in horror as Sonata tried to stand up, in the process getting herself tangled up in the sheets.

"Help me!" She called from underneath the sheets. Adagio met Aria's glare. After a silent and angry conversation, Adagio picked up the sheets and pulled Sonata out of the mess.

"You found me, Adagio!" Sonata made a duck face as Adagio picked her up.

"You really are the worst, Sonata!" Aria snapped, placing her hands on her hips. "How in the world were you transformed into a pony?"

"I just asked Princess Luna to turn me into a pony for a day!" Sonata replied, giggling. Appalled, Adagio dropped Sonata onto the ground.

"Group huddle," she told Aria. She and Aria huddled together on the other side of Sonata's room.

"It's like she's trying to be extra adorable today," Aria muttered.

"I know. We were never this adorable back in Equestria, but she's so small, it's like the smaller you are the cuter you are," Adagio muttered as a tiny itch started on her leg.

"So what do we do with her?" Aria asked, arms folded.

"We keep her out to sight," Adagio murmured, doing her best to ignore the itching now on her scalp. "It can't be that hard to watch a little pony, right?" In an unspoken agreement, they knew their little meeting was over. Adagio and Aria turned around.

"Sonata, honey, we're-" Adagio stopped short. Sonata was gone.

"Argh!"Adagio cried as the itching grew stronger. "Where is that pony?" A snickering sound made Adagio to turn around. Aria had a hand over her mouth, trying to stop herself from laughing. Adagio glared at her.

She began to speak when something hit her. Literally. Something knocked against her skull. Everything became to clear.

"She's in my hair, isn't she?" Adagio asked. Aria nodded. Adagio grimaced.

"Sonata, get down here!" She reached up to grab the little nuisance when a little face appeared inches from her own, smiling.

"You found me, Adagio!" She cheered. Adagio gritted her teeth.

"I will resist your cuteness at all costs!" She growled, grabbing Sonata just below her armpits. She swung the pony right side up.

"Wheeee!" Sonata cried as she swung. Adagio shut her eyes and tried to ignore Sonata.

"Aria, what time is it?" She asked the only other human in the house.

"5:40," Aria replied.

"And Sonata, you said you'd only be a pony for a day?" Adagio asked, eyes still shut tight.

"Uh huh!" Sonata replied. She must have been nodding, because her ponytail tickled Adagio's chin.

"Well, I'm getting dressed," Adagio decided, opening her eyes but avoiding looking at Sonata. "You watch her." She dumped the little pony in Aria's hands.

"Me?" Aria asked, her eyes widening in repulsed shock. "Why me?"

"Because Sunset Shimmer and her friends are right down the hall," Adagio answered before she left the room. Her voice dripped with sickly sweet sarcasm.

"They're stalkers!" squeaked Sonata as Adagio walked down the hall. Adagio purposely frowned so a smile wouldn't escape.

"Please make her stop being adorable," she prayed, "or this day will be a nightmare."

~*~

"Come on, Aria!" Sonata whined, scampering around the floor. "I wanna play tea party!"

"We don't have a tea set," Aria grumbled, stealing a glance at her watch. 6 o'clock.

I bet Adagio's taking this long on purpose, she thought sourly. She sat on the floor, Sonata running circles around her.

"Braid my hair!" She commanded, rolling into Aria's lap.

"What?" Aria was appalled at the thought. "No!"

"Braid my hair!" Sonata repeated with the air of a spoiled princess. Aria pulled Sonata off of her.

"I told you, no!" She shouted. Sonata narrowed her eyes, a devilish smile on her little face. Aria narrowed her eyes, wondering what was coming next. The two stood still for a minute, gazes looked on each other.

"Catch me if you can!" Sonata suddenly shot out of the room like a rocket.

"Come back here!" Aria yelled, running after Sonata. She banged into the doorway before she realigned herself and began to run down the hall after the blue pest. The door to the bathroom opened up as she ran by.

"What is happening, Aria?" Adagio asked, hair up in a towel, another towel covering her body.

"Filly on the run," Aria replied shortly. She spotted Sonata at the edge of the stairs. In a moment, she had gotten into the banister.

"Get back here!" shouted Aria, waving a fist. Sonata waved and let go of the banister.

"Weeeeeee!" She shouted as she slid down. By this time, Aria was already running down the stairs, but Sonata was sliding quicker.

"Try to catch me, Aria!" She teased, dropping off the railing and galloping away.

"Hurry up, Adagio!" Aria yelled back upstairs.

"I'll be ready in a minute!" Adagio shouted back.

"Good, because that's how long it will take before I strangle someone!" Aria chased after Sonata, who had been snacking on cheese puffs and now had orange powder all over her coat.

"She got into your cheese puffs!" Aria yelled, hoping that would be incentive enough to Adagio to run down and help.

"WHAT?" Her hopes were realized a moment later when Adagio appeared at the foot at the stairs, her face red with rage. "FIND THE LITTLE TWERP!"

"Here I am!" Sonata waved from the kitchen.

"Get back here!" Adagio yelled, she and Aria running after the little pony. Sonata giggled and took off running as well.

"Corner her!" Adagio hissed.

"Got it." Aria turned and ran the other way. Sonata ran gleefully into her, before she realized what had happened.

"Oh no!" She scrambled to change direction- and ran straight into the clutches of Adagio Dazzle.

'Now I've got you, little Sonata," she exclaimed triumphantly. "What do you have to say for yourself?" Aria stood behind Adagio, anxious to see what Sonata's reaction would be.

The little pony's lip started to quiver. Adagio frowned. This wasn't what she was expecting.

"I'm sorry!" Sonata wailed, tears spilling down onto Adagio's hands. "I just wanted Aria to braid my hair!" As she sniffled, Adagio shot at a glare at Aria.

"What?" Aria asked. "I wasn't gonna do that!"

"And risk making her have a temper tantrum instead?" Adagio asked. "Smart."

"Don't you realize what's she's doing?" Aria replied, annoyed. "She's using her adorableness to turn us against each other!"

"Oh my gosh, you're right!" Adagio gasped, dropping Sonata onto the floor. "I think being a pony turned her stupidity into clever adorableness!"

"Or what if-" Aria shuddered at the thought. "What if she's been always been this smart?" They both looked the little pony, who was now helping herself to more cheese puffs.

"Let's just get through the day," Adagio answered with a sigh.

"Well, now I have to get changed," Aria told her. "And I won't stall like you did."

"You try having gorgeous hair like mine," Adagio retorted, a smile on her face. "It takes a long time grooming it to perfection." Aria rolled her eyes and disappeared upstairs.

Adagio turned to Sonata, who was finishing off the last of her cheese puffs.

"Sonata, you're all orange," she pointed out.

"I am?" Sonata asked, looking down at herself. "Oh yeah, I am! I'm just like you, Dagi!" She giggled. Adagio frowned.

"No, you're not," she answered. I almost let her cuteness get to me! "Come on, let's get you cleaned up!" She gingerly picked Sonata up, wary of the cheesy dust coating her coat, and took her into the kitchen for a bath.

"Sonata, promise me one thing," Adagio told her as she set the little pony in the sink.

"Yeah?" Sonata asked.

"Don't break any of my one-of-a-kind plates," Adagio told her. The devilish grin reappeared on Sonata's face.

"You mean these one-of-a-kind plates?" She asked, holding up a plate decorated with gems and treble clefs. Adagio froze before she nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Sonata, those. Please don't touch them!" She pleaded. Who would have guess, one day I would be begging Sonata?

"I don't know," Sonata responded casually, examining the plate. "You do under appreciate me sometimes." Adagio frowned.

"I'm sorry for that, Sonata, sweetie. Really. Just hand over the plate-"

"Okay." Sonata flung the plate like a frisbee into the air. Adagio screamed in horror and jumped to catch it.

"Ifyoudon'tbreaktheseI'llmakeyoutacosforlunch!" Adagio cried in a rush. The plate was still in her hands, held high above her head where she had caught it. Sonata, who was already reaching for the next plate, stopped.

"Alrighty!" She exclaimed, pumping a little hoof in the air. Adagio rubbed her plate affectionately. Remembering the source of the near-disaster, she turned and glared at Sonata. When Sonata didn't notice, she coughed. Sonata looked over.

"What?" She asked. Adagio's glare morphed into a pointed stare.

"Oh, right. I'm sorry for throwing the plate," Sonata apologized sheepishly. Adagio sighed.

"Princess Luna did this to you? I have to get back to Equestria and give her a few choice words," she muttered, gently setting her plate down. Slipping her finger less gloves off, she turned on the faucet. Water flowed out of the tap and onto Sonata, who giggled once more.

"Let's get you cleaned up," Adagio told Sonata, grabbing a bar of soap. She held it under the rushing water for a moment, then began to scrub Sonata with it.

"That tickles!" Sonata squealed as Adagio ran the bar over her back, chest and hooves. Adagio tried not to smile as Sonata laughed. Bubbles floated up around her. The cheese was scrubbed off and sucked down the drain.

"Hey Adagio, see who can pop the most bubbles!" Sonata suggested, reaching up and popping a bubble with a hoof.

"No way, Sonata," Adagio answered sternly as she washed down Sonata's blue coat with some warm water. "I'm stronger than your cuteness."

"Are you really?" Sonata asked mischievously. She sucked up a big breath of air.

In the process, she ate a bubble.

Sonata smiled up at Adagio with an adorable, naive smile on her face. Bubbles continued to float up around her. Adagio struggled to keep a straight face. She couldn't laugh, she absolutely couldn't!

"Sonata," she gasped, "I think you discovered a new disease."

"What disease?" Sonata asked curiously. Adagio shut her eyes and grabbed for the facuet.

"Sonatabetes," she answered. Her hands closed around a handle. Adagio pulled it, and the sound of running water ceased to exist.

"Watching you just made my day, Adagio," a snarky voice commented from behind her. Adagio whirled around and opened her eyes. Aria stood a few feet away, propped against the wall. Her mouth was turned up in a satisfied smirk.

"You could have helped me, you know," Adagio told her as Aria came over to help dry Sonata. "She's impossible to take care of by myself."

"But I wanted to watch you struggle against Sonatabetes," Aria teased. She grabbed several towels and laid them on the kitchen floor.

"Hey, just because I discovered a disease doesn't mean I'm gonna pay your hospital bill!" cried a tiny voice from the sink. Adagio and Aria looked at each other. Aria snorted. Adagio tried not to giggle.

"You didn't find a real disease, Sonata," Aria told her as they lifted the little pony out of the sink. "Dagi and I are both fine."

"Well, that's good!" Sonata replied. She kicked her hind hooves in the air like a newborn foal trying to fight. "Yay!"

Must. Not. Succumb. To. CUTENESS! Adagio thought determinedly as she and Aria set Sonata down on the towels.

"Ready?" Aria asked Adagio, tossing her a towel.

"Ready." Adagio leaned in as she began to scrub Sonata dry.

"Guys, this tickles!" Sonata squealed as Adagio rubbed her towel all over Sonata.

"Do you want to be sopping wet all day?" Aria asked.

"No," Sonata answered. "I want to make life miserable for you!" Adagio frowned, alarmed.

"Just kidding!" Sonata added, giggling. Adagio rolled her eyes as she continued scrubbing.

"Or am I?" Sonata's smile morphed into the devilish one she had worn several minutes before.

"Yeah, I am!"

"Or am I?"

"Probably!"

"But what if I'm not?"

"Just kidding!"

Adagio and Aria groaned as Sonata continued on.

"You guys know I'd never hurt you, right?" Sonata asked when she had apparently finished her rambling.

"Uh, yes?" Aria asked weakly.

"Good!" Sonata beamed. As she stared into the raspberry eyes of the little pony, Adagio couldn't help but notice there was something in them. Wonder. Awe.

"Sonata, how old are you?" She asked suddenly. Sonata turned to look at her.

"Well, I'm usually 18, but Princess Luna made me a pony like I'm four!" Sonata replied, giggling. Adagio's mouth dropped open.

"This is even worse than we thought, Aria!" She cried. "We're not just dealing with a miniature pony, we're dealing with a miniature pony with the mind of a six year old! And she's mischievous!" Adagio fell back onto the floor.

"As if this day couldn't get any worse," she moaned.

"It can't," Aria assured her. "Come on, Sonata. Let's finish cleaning you and then we'll go upstairs and braid-" the doorbell rang. Adagio sat up looked at Aria.

Adagio made it to the door first. She put one eye right up to the peephole and stared outside. When she saw who was there, her eyes widened.

"Who is it?" Aria hissed.

"Yeah! I wanna know!" Sonata whined. Adagio turned in horror.

"It's her boyfriend!" She mouthed to Aria. Aria grimaced.

"Take her upstairs," Adagio hissed. Aria nodded and scooped Sonata up.

"Where are we going?" Sonata asked.

"Somewhere nobody will see you," Aria responded, carrying the pony back upstairs. As soon as Aria was out of sight, Adagio opened the door.

"You know it's only 6:30, right?" She asked Dusk Shine nonchalantly.

"Uh, yeah," he answered. "Hi, Adagio. I was wondering if I could take Sonata out to breakfast?"

"Why isn't that cheesy?" Adagio laughed. Dusk frowned. Adagio stopped laughing. "Sorry.

"The truth is," she continued, leaning against the door frame, "is that Sonata is sick with ebola. Yup." She nodded nonchalantly, but she mentally kicked herself. Ebola? That's what happened to pop out of her mouth.

"She had to be dropped off at the hospital today," Adagio added. "Aria and I waiting for news of her death." Dusk was now staring at her like she was an asylum patient.

"Look, Adagio, I really, really don't want to laugh at something as serious and deadly as ebola, but that story-" he closed his eyes and sighed, "-that story is so ridiculous, you make it hard. Where's Sonata?"

Adagio was about to reply when she heard something fall over upstairs.

"Oopsies!" a little voice was audible to both.

"Is she upstairs?" Dusk pressed. "Son-"

"No she is not upstairs," Adagio said quickly, moving to block his view of the stairs. "I'm afraid you'll have to go now." She coughed. "We all just came down with diabetes." She slammed the door in his face and locked it.

"That was close!" She cried, running upstairs. Aria and Sonata stood next to a broken lamp.

"Who was that?" Sonata questioned. "In The Middle of Starting Over" answered her question, as the song began to play. Adagio grimaced.

"Dusky's calling!" Sonata exclaimed in delight, racing to her room. Luckily, Aria blocked her path.

"You aren't going anywhere," she told the filly.

"Ha ha!" Sonata stuck her tongue out and ducked between Aria's legs. Aria and Adagio ran in after her. Sonata had already pressed the "Answer" button.

"Hello?" She asked, standing over her phone.

"Sonata? Where are you?" Dusk Shine's voice came out crackly with static.

"I'm in my house!" Sonata replied cheerfully. "I was turned into a-" Aria clamped so hand over Sonata's muzzle.

"-a cancer patient!" Adagio supplied, pitching her voice to sound like Sonata. "Come back tomorrow, Dusky! Love ya!" She hit end call.

"You can let her go now," she told Aria. Aria nodded and released Sonata, who promptly began to cry.

"What's wrong?" Adagio asked. Sonata glared at her through curtains of tears.

"I loooove him!" Sonata wailed. "And you're trying to take him away from meeeee!"

"What?" Adagio protested. "I never- oh." Adagio picked up Sonata in her arms. Sonata waved a hoof at her, and both Adagio and Aria did their best to ignore the cuteness.

"Sonata, I was pretending to be you," Adagio explained. "I don't love Dusk Shine, nerds are gross- what I mean to say," Adagio added when she saw the aggressive look on Sonata's face, "is that they're not my type."

"What is your type, then?" Sonata asked innocently.

"I'm curious, too, Adagio," Aria added, leaning in. Adagio rolled her eyes.

"Sonata, didn't I promise you a taco?" she asked. Sonata's eyes lit up in excitement.

"Tacoooos," she drooled. Adagio nodded.

"That's what I thought. I'll go make them right now." Adagio walked back downstairs. Before heading into the kitchen, she looked through the peephole in the door. Dusk Shine had gone; probably to call the cops and report a missing girlfriend.

Adagio shrugged and walked into the kitchen.

"So, how do you make a taco?" She wondered aloud.

*~*

Sonata crossed her hooves in annoyance.

"It's been like an hour!" She complained. "When will my tacos be ready?"

"When Adagio learns how to cook," Aria responded as she tied a bow on the end of Sonata's braid. Her own pigtails were braided, though sloppily done by clumsy pony hooves

"What time is it?" Sonata asked. Aria checked the clock.

"It's 8:14- Oh my gosh time flies!" Aria exclaimed, grabbing little Sonata. "It's been two hours already! Two hours of my life I wasted braiding worst pony's hair!"

"Oh, I get it," Sonata replied seriously. "That's sarcasm!"

"Ugh." Aria flipped back onto the bed. Sonata's usually unbearable idiocy was now made adorable in her filly state.

"Tacos are ready!" Adagio called.

"Tacos?" In a flash, Sonata had zipped down the stairs like the mouse guy from the looney TV show Aria had watched a couple weeks ago. She sighed and pulled herself off the bed.

"Coming!" She called half heartedly. Braiding manes sure zapped energy!

When she finally lumbered in to the kitchen, Aria stopped in the doorway and did a double take. Adagio had a hand over her mouth, obviously trying very hard not to laugh at the giant taco on the table. The giant taco wasn't the interesting thing, though. Inside the taco was the little blue pony they had been taking care of all day.

"I'm a taco!" Sonata cried, blowing at the lettuce on top of her head. Aria's eyelid twitched. Too much adorableness...

"Adagio?" She questioned. Adagio shook her head, raspberry eyes bright with amusement.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself!" She exclaimed. "That's why it took so long to make the taco!" Adagio giggled.

"Sonatabetes!" Sonata exclaimed from inside her taco. As Adagio burst out laughing, Sonata looked expectantly at Aria. Aria's mouth wobbled.

"You- aren't- breaking- me," she managed, shutting her eyes. "I- will- resist-"

"We were such fools, Aria!" Adagio gasped between laughs. "Embrace the cuddles!" Aria opened an eye to see Adagio lift up the taco and pretend to eat it. Sonata giggled uncontrollably. Aria's mouth wobbled even more intensely. She probably registered as a mild earthquake because she refused to give in to Sonata and her cuteness.

"Don't eat me, Dagi!" Sonata squealed.

"Nom nom nom!" Adagio responded, picking up Sonata and blowing raspberries into her stomach. Aria's trembling increased. She grabbed the refrigerator for support.

"Must... not..." she gasped, biting her lip again. Adagio and Sonata looked over at Aria.

"Aria's gonna explode!" Sonata suggested. That was too much for Aria.

"Hahahahaha!" She gasped, doubling over as the laughs escaped her mouth.

"She's puking rainbows!" Sonata squealed, waving her hooves around. Aria, still laughing, ran over and picked Sonata up in her arms.

"Oh, you are so adorable!" She gushed.

"Thanks!" Sonata answered. She climbed up onto Aria's head.

"Now we shall play pirates and do make up and be awesome for the entire day!" Sonata commanded. Adagio and Aria shared a smile.

"Best idea ever!" Adagio told the little pony.

~*~

The rest of the was spent having fun with an adorable little pony. Sonata slathered makeup all over Aria's and Adagio's faces until they were barely recognizable.

"I am Captain Adagio the Poofy! Surrender to my orange curls!" Adagio shouted, waving a tinfoil sword in the air.

"Aye! Ye be no match for Captain Aria the Grumpy! Ye shall fall pray to my bad attitude!" Aria answered, using the name Sonata had picked out for her.

"Halt, pirates!" Sonata jumped in front of them. "I am Sonata Dusk the cannibal, protector of realzies and tacos! I'm gonna eat you all!"

"I shall never surrender!" Adagio cried, dropping to her knees and patting Sonata on the head her sword.

"Never!" Aria added, mimicking Adagio's movements

"Argh!" Sonata cried, jumping up on them and pretending to gobble them up.

"Noooo!" Adagio wailed.

When the pirate game was over, the group headed to the kitchen to have a dance party.

"Dancing!" Sonata cried, spinning around on the floor.

"Go, Sonata!" Adagio and Aria cheered her on, dancing as well.

"Yay!" Sonata squealed.

~*~

After a day of nothing but adorable festivities, it was time for bed.

"I don't want her to go," Adagio moped as she and Aria carried a tired Sonata up to her bedroom.

"Me neither," Aria agreed sadly. "But I don't want to be in the room when she transforms."

"Good point," Adagio admitted as they walked inside Sonata's room.

"Ready to go to sleep, Sonata?" She asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Sonata answered as Aria fluffed up her pillows. Adagio smiled.

"Can you do me a favor, though?" Sonata asked.

"What is it?" Aria asked.

"Wash that makeup off as soon as you can. I don't know what I was thinking!" Sonata answered. Adagio and Aria giggled.

"We will," Aria replied. "Let's get you tucked in, shall we?" Sonata rested her head on the pillows. Adagio and Aria pulled her covers back so only her hooves and head stuck out.

"We love you, Sonata," Adagio told her as she smoothed Sonata's bangs.

"Even if we don't always show it," Aria added.

"Oh, guys, I know that!" Sonata replied. She shut her eyes. "I love you, too." As soon as the words left her mouth, Sonata yawned. Adagio immediately grabbed her phone and took a picture of the sleepy pony.

"We'll always have this memory," she told Aria softly, tilting the phone screen in Aria's direction. Aria nodded as they exited the room.

"Good night, Sonata," Adagio whispered as she turned the lights off.

"Nighty, Adagio." Sonata's answer was almost inaudible as Adagio closed the bedroom door.

Aria and Adagio stood in the hall for a moment, mulling over the events of the day.

"Let's go was this makeup off," Aria suggested, drawing a line down her cheek with her finger. A thick layer of pink blush and unidentified cosmetics caked it.

"Agreed." Adagio responded.
