The Dazzlings' Chemical X-Ident
Bonus Chapter: A Rainy Day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe city of Canterlot, and what an amazing city it is.
It had only been a week, and the Dazzling Puff Girls were already all over the news labeled as Canterlot's defenders and superpowered crime fighters. Ever since their first battle with Mojo Jojo, the girls have started getting along better and gotten better at working as a team. Though they still argue every now and again, they're hardly at each other's throats anymore.
"ARIA!!!!!"
Well, it was great while it lasted.
Adagio stomped through the house looking for her sister with Sonata trailing behind.
"Where do you think she could be?" Sonata asked.
"She'd better be in her room," Adagio replied. "She's not anywhere else in the house. Plus, we've got to talk about her tardiness every time there was a distress call."
Adagio and Sonata entered Aria's room, but the middle siren was nowhere to be seen.
"Aria, where the heck are you?!" Adagio shouted angrily.
"Shh, listen," Sonata shushed her elder sister and pointed to the closet where a soft whispering sound could be heard.
Adagio and Sonata slowly approached the closet, and when Adagio opened it, both girls went slackjawed. Sitting inside the closet was Aria, but she was snuggling a violet blanket as she whispered:
"I am a good fighter...I am a good fighter...I am a good fighter..."
Both sirens remained silent as they watched their sister, the toughest of the three cuddling with a blanket as a child would. Sonata was the first to break the silence after she broke into a fit of giggles. Aria's eyes snapped open and she whipped her head around, facing her sisters at last. A bright blush formed across Aria's cheeks as she attempted to hide the blanket behind her back.
"Well, well, well, so this is where you've been hiding all week," Adagio said with a smirk.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Aria lied. "I was just...uh...d-drying my hair..? This is a towel."
"Nice try, Aria," Adagio replied. "You think you can fool me after we've lived together for over a thousand years?"
"I don't know which is worse!" Sonata laughed, wiping a tear from her eye. "This or her love for Sailor Moon!"
Aria's blush deepened and Adagio looked at her in disbelief, all while trying to hold back her laughter.
"Wait, you watch Sailor Moon?"
Adagio couldn't hold it back any longer and doubled over in hysterical laughter.
"All this time...ha ha hahaha! I thought it was Sonata downstairs at six in the morning! Hahahahaha!"
"Gee Ari, you're glowing!" Sonata chimed in, pointing at Aria's bright red cheeks.
"Yeah, well, this blanket has given me strength on all of our missions!" Aria spat. "We would've lost all those times if I didn't have it. You both should be thanking me."
Adagio and Sonata's laughter quieted to small giggles and then finally subsided.
"Wow Aria," Adagio said, wiping a tear from her eye. "I had no idea you were into such girly stuff."
"Yeah, well you're one to talk, Miss "Gotta catch 'em all!"
Now, it was Adagio's turn to blush.
"I saw how bad you wanted to correct Sonata when she called the characters from her show Pokémon names. Y'know: Bellossom, Blissey, and Butterfree?" Aria continued, smirking. "So, how many have you caught?"
"Well, carrying a blanket around is childish!" Adagio shouted back, trying to change the subject.
"Childish?!" Aria replied, clenching her fists. "Why I oughta..."
"Uh...girls," Sonata said, looking out the window. "I don't think the mayor's gonna call us today."
"Why?" Aria and Adagio asked in unison.
Sonata only had to point outside and her sisters understood. It was raining.
"Well, at least, we have the whole day to do whatever we want!" Sonata said happily.
Adagio and Aria glared at each other angrily before Adagio stomped off.
"I'll be in my room," she said and slammed her door shut.
"I'm going downstairs to watch TV," Aria said, throwing the blanket to the ground and stomping downstairs.
Sonata was left shaking her head as she followed Aria.
"Am I the only sane one in this house?"
-ooooooooooo-
Aria and Sonata sat on the couch boredly looking at the TV while Aria flipped through the channels. Sonata sighed and rested her head on the arm of the couch. The sound of the rain was making her sleepy. She looked over at Aria to see that she had fallen asleep instead of her. Sonata looked at the TV and her eyes widened at the sight of the commercial that was playing.
"DO YOU LOVE ANIME?"
Sonata nodded in response.
"DO YOU LOVE TO COSPLAY FROM YOUR FAVORITE ANIME?"
Sonata nodded again.
"LOOKING FOR A WAY TO CURE THE BOREDOM ON THIS RAINY DAY?"
"Get on with it already!" Sonata shouted at the TV.
"WELL, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO ENTER THE CANTERLOT CITY COSPLAY CONTEST!!!"
Sonata gasped in delight and ran in front of the TV.
"What must I do?" she asked it.
"JUST SNAP A PHOTO OF YOURSELF, OR TAKE A GROUP SHOT WITH YOUR FRIENDS IN COSTUME AND SEND IT TO THE CANTERLOT CONVENTION CENTER!! IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!"
Sonata's smile widened and she hugged the TV set.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Announcer Guy!" she said happily. "This is gonna be the best rainy day ever!"
Sonata suddenly froze and began to ponder to herself.
"Wait, Dagi and Ari aren't gonna want to dress up for some silly contest. I have to find some way to make them actually want to do it, and I don't think my adorableness is gonna work this time."
Just then an idea popped into Sonata's head. It was an awful idea. A wonderfully, awful idea. She grinned evilly and wrung her hands together.
"I've got just the thing...~"
-ooooooooooo-
Sonata sat on the couch with a smug smirk on her face. She was waiting for Adagio to get downstairs so that she could set her master plan into action. Aria, who had just woken up, looked at her little sister suspiciously.
"What are you planning, Sonata?" she asked.
"You'll see...~" Sonata replied deviously.
Adagio walked downstairs and sat to the right of Sonata, who was sitting in the middle. She didn't want to sit next to or look at Aria, and Aria felt the exact same.
"Well, now that I'm down here, what do you want Sonata?" Adagio said.
"I want you two to make up, and there's only one solution," Sonata said.
Sonata held up a video game case and three controllers.
"Three rounds of Super Smash Bros. Best 2 out of 3 wins and the loser has to wear a costume from her favorite anime for the rest of the day, or until the rain stops. Whichever comes first."
"What makes you think we'd do something so stupid?" Aria asked.
Sonata only grinned and replied with:
"Revenge...~"
Aria glanced over at Adagio and vice versa. Both girls had an evil smirk on their lips and both shook Sonata's outstretched hands. Sonata set up the game and the three sirens were ready to select their characters.
"Who're you gonna pick, Dagi?" Sonata asked excitedly.
"Charizard, of course," Adagio replied smugly. "Being both a fire type and a flying type is a complete advantage over any character you two could pick."
"Oh, yeah?" Aria laughed. "Tell that to Captain Falcon!"
"I'll pick the Villager!" Sonata chimed.
Adagio and Aria looked at Sonata and then burst out laughing.
"Really Sonata?!" Adagio said. "How do you think that little kid is going to beat us?"
Sonata eyed the TV screen, looking at the Villager. The Villager looked back at her and she could see an evil glint in his big adorable eyes. For a split second, Sonata could see his butterfly net change into an ax with blood on it and himself. A wicked smile crossed Sonata's lips and she gripped her controller tighter, her gaze never breaking from the television screen.
30 Minutes Later.....
"Yay! I won! I won!!!" Sonata cheered.
Aria and Adagio looked on dumbfounded.
"H-how....?" Adagio stammered.
"I don't know," Aria replied, her voice shaking with fear. "But, I'm too scared to find out..."
"Truce to never speak of this again?" Adagio asked.
"Truce," Aria replied, shaking her elder sister's hand.
"Well, since you both lost, you know what that means!~" Sonata said, starting to float into the air.
She flew up the stairs and into her sister's rooms. She flew back downstairs with two costumes in her arms. Sonata handed them to her sisters and flew back upstairs to her room to change into her own costume.
"I understand the fact that she wanted us to make up, but why else would she make us wear these?" Adagio said.
Aria thought and suddenly smacked a palm to her forehead. She pointed to the TV.
"What?" Adagio asked. "Has Sonata been talking to the TV again?"
"No, the cosplay contest..." Aria muttered. "It's today."
"What?!" Adagio cried. "Why didn't you tell me?! I was going to surprise you two with tickets to the convention this year!"
"You were?" Aria asked, honestly surprised.
"Yes!" Adagio exclaimed. "I've been looking for flyers for the contest all over the place, and they show an ad for it now?!"
"Don't panic," Aria said. "All we have to do is get changed and take a picture. That's all."
"Right, now c'mon, we don't have much time!" Adagio replied and pulled Aria into the bathroom.
About two minutes later, the girls came out of the bathroom dressed in their costumes. Adagio was dressed as a Pokémon trainer and Aria as Sailor Moon.
"Wow Dagi, hate to admit it, but you look pretty good." Aria complimented.
"You don't look too bad yourself," Adagio replied with a smile. "I wonder who Sonata's dressing up as."
"You're not the only one." Aria laughed.
Just as Aria said that Sonata came downstairs wearing a black lolita style dress embellished with blue bows, black and blue stockings, black heels, and a dark blue bow sat atop her head. Her hair fell loosely down her back and she held a small strawberry sucker between her newly glossed lips. Aria couldn't help but to stare as Sonata's hips swayed as she descended the stairs. Aria felt her face warm up significantly and a bright blush crosses her cheeks.
"Woah..." she whispered.
Aria was snapped out of her trance by a sharp smack to the back of her head. She was met with a scolding glare from Adagio. Aria fixed herself and put on a half smile as Sonata approached her.
"What do you think girls?" Sonata asked excitedly. "I couldn't decide whether or not to wear the wig."
Before Aria could say anything that would embarrass herself, Adagio cut in.
"I think you look just as good without it." she said, and Aria nodded in agreement.
"Yay!" Sonata cheered. "Now let's get that picture taken!"
Adagio reached into the pocket of her jean shorts and held up her phone. Her sisters got behind her while she set up the camera.
"Alright girls, on three," she said, positioning the camera in front of them. "One...two...three!"
"We look great!" Sonata chimed. "I hope we win!"
"Only way to be sure we have a chance," Adagio said.
Just as she was about to press the upload button, the hotline buzzed.
"Sonata, I thought you said the mayor wasn't going to call us today," Aria said.
Sonata shrugged and then looked out the window.
"Looks like it stopped raining," she stated matter of factly.
Adagio flew over to the hotline and answered it.
"What's the trouble, Miss Mayor?"
"Adagio, it's terrible!" the mayor cried. "You girls have to hurry, there's a giant tentacle monster rampaging through the city!"
Adagio's eyes widened in horror.
"Uh, yeah...s-sure, Mayor, we'll be right there..."
Adagio hung up and turned to her sisters who wore almost the exact same expression as her.
"Well, you heard the Mayor," Adagio said. "Let's go girls."
"Wait, let's change first," Sonata said. "Going out dressed like this might send the wrong message."
"Good point," Aria said, and the three zoomed upstairs to their rooms to change clothes.
So once again, the day is going to be saved thanks to the Dazzling Puff Girls!
*Mwah!~* Goodnight everybody!~
