Chapters Author's Note
This story takes place as if the dazzlings are normal girls, and the battle of the bands never even happened. :) This chapter is a little short, and it's my first fimfiction. Sorry if there's any complaints! :(
Chapter 1: A Reunion
Sonata excitedly packed all the things she needed for her first day at Canterlot University. I can't believe copying that girl's test got my grades high enough to get applied! she thought. The sun was shining, and the leaves turned a beautiful yellow and red glow. What could possibly go wrong?
Now, checklist! Blanket, check! Clothes, pjs, and shoes, check, stuffed bear, check! toothpaste and brush, check! Décor, check! Okay, I'm all packed! Sonata thought as she checked of items on the checklist, and she scribbled on some extra items on her clipboard in case of emergencies. Sonata took a warm shower, got dressed, put on her makeup, and ate some plain yogurt with nuts and raspberries. After she got her coat on, and brought her suitcases and boxes, she opened the door, finding her mother outside.
"Ready to go sweetie?" her mother asked.
"Yep! I'm all ready to go!" Sonata squealed.
After everything was packed, Sonata sat in her brand new car. (Still had that new car smell) "Bye, mom! See you in the winter!" she yelled. "Bye honey!" her mom said.
When she got to the dormitory, she gasped in awe. The lobby had red carpets, a lounge area, a door that leads to a hot springs, VIPs unfortunately, and elevators, that Sonata loves to ride on. She squealed and jumped, then she realized how much luggage she has to pull. "This is going to take forever!"
After a few hours, she dragged all of her luggage to her dorm room. "Phew! Took longer than I thought!" Sonata panted. As she fumbled with the dorm keys, behind the door was another story. "Ugh! What is that noise! I can barely read my book!" Adagio grumbled angrily.
"Not my problem, nerd," Aria teased, which made Adagio really mad. After a few minutes, Adagio had enough and opened the door furiously. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON... here..." she said as she stared at Sonata, still struggling with the keys, as Sonata stopped, her eyes grew wide, along with her smile. Aria thought that smile would stretch all across the dorm hall, and she sighed and said, "Here we go again." "OH MY GOSH I'M ROOMATES WITH YOU!? THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST AWESOMEST YEAR IN THE WORLD!" Sonata squealed with delight.
She calmed down and trudged her stuff in the dorm room, and set everything up in a millisecond, including her bed, which had a bright pink and turquoise blanket. "All ready!" Sonata announced.
Adagio had a blank face, and rushed towards the bathroom. After she splashed some cold water on her face, she muttered, "This is going to be a long year."
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Chapter 3: Aria's Day Off
"Ugh, what a day," Aria panted as she slammed onto her bed.
It's been a week since Sonata and Adagio have been her roommates, and she was sick of it. Adagio would always hog the bathroom, brushing her hair and finding her hair curler. Sonata would always act childish and getting into Aria's business. This time, it was her homework that bothered her. Aria has been failing all her classes because the teachers would say that she is "slacking off". So she was forced to do extra credit work to boost up her grades. And she doesn't want her parents figuring it out, or she'd be in big trouble.
Aria sighed as she got to work. Thank goodness Adagio took Sonata to Taco Bell for dinner. Hour after hour, she was working and working and working. "How much work do I have to do!?" Aria yelled.
Then, it hit her. She should have a day off! I totally deserve it, considering the teachers make me do work everyday. "Bye bye, homework!" Aria said as she slammed her pencil, which made papers flying everywhere.
As she walked outside into the fresh air, she saw Adagio and Sonata walking in her direction. "Oh no," Aria said nervously and hid in the bushes.
"Dagi, why didn't we take Ari with us?" Sonata asked.
"Well, you know Aria has to finish her work, and you know how much she procrastinates," Adagio smirked.
"Yeah right," Aria said, then she covered her mouth.
"Dagi, what was that?" Sonata jumped and hid behind Adagio.
"Probably just the wind, Sonata. Come on, we should get our homework done too," Adagio said, as they walked in the dormitory.
"Phew!" Aria sighed with relief. Then she brushed the leaves off of her and walked towards the mall.
First stop, HayBurger. They had really good burgers, especially the horseshoe fries. "I would like a king size burger with fries, along with a large coke," Aria asked. "Okay, coming right up!" The man said.
After the good dinner, Aria went to Aeropostal to buy new clothes. her shirt was getting tight anyway. "Yes! A sale!" Aria said. She picked out a sea foam green long sleeve shirt that say Aeropostal on it, and bootcut jeans with holes in them. And she went to another store to buy the new purse that was on the shopping channel on TV. They said it was the hottest purse in the world, not literally hot, by temperature, like pretty, hot...
A few hours later, Aria was carrying shopping bags, a new purse and soda from HayBurger. "Well that was fun," Aria said. And she walked back to her dorm.
As soon as she walked through the dorm room doors, she found Sonata, looking at her bags with a confused look.
"Ari, when did you get all that stuff?" Sonata asked as she pointed at all of Aria's bags.
"Umm... Somewhere," Aria stammered.
"Is that a new store? Can you take me there someday!?" Sonata squealed.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. Someday," Aria said. "Now, back to work."

Chapter 5 1/2: Tour Guide (Sonata's Perspection)
Aria yawned as she walked all the way back to her dorm from breakfast, still had some homework to do. Oh no. Aria thought when she looked in her pockets. I forgot the keys. Oh god, I really hope Adagio or Sonata is in there. "Come on! Open the door!" Aria yelled as she banged on the door.
"Fine!" Sonata said.
"You're the worst," Aria muttered angrily.
"No, you are!" Sonata giggled as she opened the door.
Then Aria smelled something cooking. "Sonata? Since when did we have a kitchen?" Aria asked.
"Oh! I promised Applejack that I could borrow it if I work in the kitchen once a week! Want a taco?" Sonata said as she handed Aria a freshly made taco wrapped in foil.
"Umm, okay, thanks," Aria said.
"Bye! I'm going to class!" Sonata said as she rushed out the door.
As Sonata went into the elevator, she looked over her schedule. Let's see, first, cooking class, then biology. After that, looks like I'm going to give a tour to a new student. For realizes!? They trust me for that? Yippie! Sonata thought while skipping to class. And Aria says I'm a dumb nut!
After Sonata finished all of her classes, she skipped all the way to the main entrance, which Sonata saw a girl about the same age as her. With a black jacket, a magenta top along with black and hot pink boots. "Hi! I'm Sonata! I'm assigned to give you a tour around the campus!" Sonata introduced.
The girl nodded her head delightfully as Sonata showed her around. "So, what's your name?" Sonata asked.
"Sunset Shimmer. A pleasure to meet you," Sunset said.
"Okay Shimmie! Time to start the fun!" Sonata said, grabbing Sunset's hand and rushing towards the café.
By the time they've reached to the dorm rooms, Sonata directed Sunset to her room.
"Home sweet home!" Sonata said as Sunset pulled her luggage in.
"I'll leave you alone to pack," Sonata said.
"Don't you mean, unpack?" Sunset asked.
"Oh! Right! Sorry!" Sonata blushed embarrassedly and shut the door.
"Whew! That was longer then I expected!" Sonata sighed as she grabbed a milkshake from Mrs. Cake's café. "I should really do my homework!"
BAM! Sonata crashed into another girl about the same age as her. She wore a light blue top with black buttons and a pink bow tie, a purple skirt with a pink and white sparkle, and black boots with purple legwarmers. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay!?" Sonata gasped as she grabbed napkins to clean the girl's shirt, which by the way, was covered in milkshake.
"Oh no! It's fine! It was an accident!" the girl assured.
"Since we met, I'm Sonata. I go to Canterlot University. What's yours?" Sonata asked.
The girl was surprised. "I go to Canterlot University too! By the way, I'm Twilight Sparkle."
Chapter 6: Sonata's Birthday
Oh my gosh, it's 12:00 am! It's my BIRTHDAY!!! Sonata thought as she hopped out of bed. "Wake up! it's my birthday! Wake up NOW!" Sonata yelled.
"It's the middle of the night. Go to sleep," Adagio sighed tiredly.
"Aria, get up! It's my birthday!" Sonata said, shaking Aria.
"Yeah yeah, whatever, don't care," Aria said, shooing her away.
"You're the absolute WORST!" Sonata screamed.
"Okay, fine. later," Aria said.
"Yippie! I'm going to get ready!" Sonata squealed.
She went to the vanity to style her hair. Now, let's see. A ponytail again? Nah, too casual. Pigtails like Aria? Nah. Oh, I know! Straight hair! Sonata thought as she let down her hair from her ponytail and flat ironed it.
"Now, what to wear?" Sonata had dozens and dozens to choose from. Finally, she decided to wear a dark magenta top with lavender straps along with a lavender skirt and pink boots.
At 8:00 am, Sonata ran back to the dorm after breakfast to celebrate with her two best roommates. "Good morning! Time to..." Sonata stopped, as she saw two empty beds, with no sign of Adagio or Aria.
"Huh, they've must have went to class," Sonata assumed. And she trudged sadly to class.
"Coast is clear," Adagio whispered.
"Okay, come on. Let's start decorating," Aria said.
During biology, Sonata fumbled with her pencil, along with continuous sighing.
"Young lady! Your sighing is interrupting the class! Talk to me after I finish this lesson!" Mrs. Cherilee said.
"Yes mam," Sonata mumbled.
Meanwhile, Adagio, Aria, and the Main 6 began to decorate the gym with streamers, balloons, and tables with fruit punch, which was Sonata's favorite drink.
"Hey! What's going on?" Sunset asked as she walked into the gym.
"We're planning a surprise party for Sonata. It's her birthday," Rainbow said.
"Yep! Just like when they made a surprise party for me!" Pinkie said.
"I can help," Sunset said, taking some streamers.
____________________________
After the talk, Sonata fell onto her bed. Her hair was a big mess considering it's not in a pony tail, and the tears ruined her mascara. "How could Adagio and Aria forget my birthday!?" Sonata whimpered.
Maybe I plan my own birthday party, with my stuffed animals, and eat tacos! Yeah! I don't need friends! She thought as she set up a tea set and a kiddie table. After Sonata cooked tacos, the party has begun.
"Want a sip, Honeybunches?" Sonata asked her teddy bear. "I thought so."
Oh gosh, she's turned into the Sonata version of Pinkie Pie. Sunset thought as she opened the door slightly.
Sonata spotted her. "Are you spying!?" Sonata yelled.
"No! We aren't spying!" Aria said.
"Yeah, of course you aren't! Go away! You're not my real friends! Isn't that right Fluffy? Yes! That is correct! " Sonata said.
What's wrong with her? She's never raised her voice, or act this way before. Aria thought. "Come on Sonata! Time for gym!" Aria said, pulling Sonata away from her tea party.
"NO!" Sonata screamed.
"This is going to take a while," Aria said to herself.
____________________________
"Here we are!" Sunset announced.
Sonata pouted while sitting still. "SUPRISE!" Everyone shouted.
Sonata was surprised, very surprised. "You didn't forget me!" Sonata said. Her hair turned back into a pony tail, and she danced happily along with her friends. "How could I ever doubted you!" Sonata said as she brought Adagio and Aria for a group hug. They rolled their eyes, and smiled.

If it's possible, comment down below what you want me to do for the next chapter. Toodles!
Chapter 7: Christmas Day Part One
Christmas, a time of year where kids open presents, and parents laughing with joy. Sonata can make it a big deal, while Aria and Adagio sit on the sidelines. No, really. That's what they're doing. Sonata begged them to go to the ice rink for a fundraiser, and Adagio regretfully agreed. An hour passed, and Sonata began doing spins and glides in the ice, Aria and Adagio sat on the bleachers, shivering and muttering angrily. "Come on! Don't be such a grouch!" Sonata said, as she held up ice skates.
"NO, Sonata. The cold is not for me!" Adagio said, pulling her hood over her head.
"Nah, rather finish my Super Mario Galaxy game," Aria said, pulling out her game console.
"Oh come on! We can have hot chocolate later!" Sonata yelled. "UGH!"
When they made it back to the dorm, Adagio was pulling the keys out of her pocket, Aria was beating the final level of her game, and Sonata pulled her hood over her head, upset. "YES!!! Beat that! YES!!!" Aria cheered, when she beat the final level of Super Mario Galaxy.
"Girls! Is Christmas not important to you! Just video games and being the grouchy people you are!" Sonata said, as she sat on her bed.
"Well, it's freezing, innocent kids are playing in that freezing snow, and... It's freezing!" Adagio said.
"Heh, you can only think of freezing! What? Don't want your poofy hair to freeze?" Aria smirked.
Adagio glared at her. "Would you shut up!?"
Sonata tip-toed to the bathroom. She took a warm shower and got dressed in her nightgown. After she grabbed a hot chocolate from the Canterlot University Café, Sonata laid on her bed, pulling her blankets over her body. You know what? I will show them that Christmas means love and cheer. And I know just how to do that! Sonata thought as she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
"Canterlot students! Since it's Christmas Eve, and it's winter break, all classes are canceled for the week! Have a wonderful Christmas!" the speaker blared, as students ate their breakfasts of warm pancakes, with melting butter and syrup, along with hot chocolate. Sonata gobbled her breakfast down, downed her orange juice, grabbed her purse, and rushed out of the café doors. "What's her problem?" Aria asked.
"I don't know. Probably buying chocolate again. Remember when Sonata ate a whole box of Hersheys and she had a major sugar rush during class?" Adagio giggled.
"Oh yeah!" Aria laughed.
After Sonata left from working at Taco Bell (Yes, she has a job now.) She grabbed her purse and left the warm building. As Sonata walked to the mall, she heard the snow crunching under her boots, and children building snowmen and laughing. She even heard a girl asking Sonata to join them. But she just shook her head and smiled. "No thanks. But I appreciate it," Sonata said as she pat the little girl's head.
When Sonata entered the mall, people were rushing to buy last minute presents. She searched from store to store, but not a single thing could be perfect for her two best roommates. especially when most stores are sold out of items.
"What am I going to do!?" Sonata whimpered as she took a bite of ice cream from the frozen yogurt shop.
Sonata glanced at a jewelry store, with all kinds of trinkets. But one catches her eye. Yes! That's what I'm going to get them! she thought as she ran with her ice cream.
Author's Note
I know it's WAY past Christmas. (Well, when I published this chapter.) But when it IS Christmas, I wish you a happy year!
Chapter 8: Christmas Day Part Two
As the sun began to set, parents called their children inside to have warm hot coco, while workers get to shovel the snow off the roads. Crunch, crunch , the sound of snow under Aria feet as she played her Legend of Zelda game. Adagio was cuddling by her fireplace, along with apple cider and a fluffy blanket Sonata knitted for her. "Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree," Adagio sang as she looked out of the window.
She wasn't a good singer. But she remembered when they sang Frosty the Snowman as kids. Good times. She still doesn't know where Sonata went. But she remembered what Sonata said yesterday. "Girls! Is Christmas not important to you!? Just video games and being the grouchy people you are!?"
Adagio felt bad for all the harsh words she said. Oh well. Sonata might have forgiven me already, maybe?
Meanwhile, Aria was sitting on the front steps of the dormitory. Did Sonata run away because of yesterday? Nah, she ran off for chocolate! Just like Adagio said! Yeah! Aria thought, as she put down her game console. She grabbed her water bottle and went to her dorm room to meet Adagio. "Dagi, well, do you think Sonata ran away because of yesterday?" Aria asked. Adagio turned around, and putting down her cider.
"I don't know. Maybe Sonata thinks we don't care about her feelings," Adagio said. "Well, we should get something for her, like an apology gift. To show how we love her."
"Sounds cheesy. But okay. Can... I sit on the couch with you?" Aria asked.
Adagio handed her an extra cup of apple cider. "Sure."

Sunset Shimmer walked along the sidewalk, with a big, heavy jacket. The Winter Formal is today, and Sunset opened the doors to the gym. "Hey, Twilight. How do you like it here?" she asked, when she saw Twilight leaning on the wall.
"Hi! Yes, classes and roommates are going well. Do you have your dress for the formal?" Twilight asked, and Sunset looked at the dress Twilight was wearing.
Twilight wore a sparkly blue violet dress with long magenta sleeves, but with a gap on the shoulders. Along with blue violet silk leg warmers and magenta heels. "My dress in in this bag. I'm planning on going to the dressing room to change," Sunset said, holding up her bag.
"Come on, let's go inside. It's freezing out here," Twilight said, as they went inside the gym.
_____________________________
"But please! These gifts are for my friends!" Sonata begged the cashier.
"Nope. You can't afford these, even with the winter sale!" the cashier disagreed.
Sonata pouted sadly, but something fell out of her purse. "Oh! My coupon! I totally forgot!" She gave the cashier the coupon, along with the well earned cash.
She grabbed her shopping bag. "See ya! Merry Christmas!" Sonata yelled as she ran out the mall doors.
Sigh. "Merry Christmas," the cashier said.
"What should we get for Sonata?" Adagio asked Aria, as they walked through the mall doors.
"I don't know, but I do know she loves... Ah!" Aria said, when they bumped into Sonata.
"Oh! Uhh... Hi girls!" Sonata stammered.
"Hi? What are you doing here?" Adagio asked.
"I was just about to say the same thing!" Sonata said angrily.
"Well, we were just buying dresses! Yeah! Dresses for the Winter Formal!" Aria said, with a fake smile on her face.
"Well, since you're here, I bought something for you guys. Something to bring holiday cheer," Sonata said, handing over a shopping bag.
Aria and Adagio dug into the bag, finding two ruby pendants along with a black lace and a gold tip. "I bought them in a jewelry store, believe me, they were not cheap," Sonata said, pointing at her neck. She wore the same pendant.
"By the way, we bought dresses already at the near by dress store a week ago," Sonata suspiciously said.
"Right..." Adagio said. "Let's go to the formal shall we?"
"We shall," Sonata agreed.

Sunset came out the dressing rooms, along with a dramatic slow motion effect and a dramatic pose. "Wow! Sunset! You, look, so AWESOME!!" Rainbow said.
"Wow. You, look... nice ," Fluttershy complimented.
"Divine!" Rarity said.
"But what's with the slow mo?" Applejack and Pinkie Pie said together.
"Eh. Dramatic effect," Sunset said, shrugging her shoulders.
Sunset wore a red violet top with two magenta silk straps on each shoulder. Along with a sparkly short orange skirt, and a red and yellow sun on her red violet top. "But I'm worried about the three girls. Have you seen them?" Sunset asked.
"Well, I've seen them go to the mall!" Pinkie said. "Now, come on! Let's party!"
"You're right," Twilight giggled and ran to the dance floor.
_____________________________
"Ready girls?" Adagio asked Sonata and Aria.
They were all dressed to go. (I'm not going to explain their outfits, but they are the same outfits when they did the battle of the bands in "Welcome to the Show". Remember, that did not happen. They're normal girls all the way in this story.)
"Ready!" Sonata squealed. They wore their ruby pendants that Sonata bought, and they opened the gym doors.
"There you are! I've been looking for you!" Sunset said as she ran towards the three girls. "You look amazing!"
"Thanks, now LET'S PARTY!!!" Sonata yelled and ran to the dance floor. "EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!"
Adagio smiled and sighed. This is going to be a fun year .
Good morning Adagio! Adagio thought to herself as she sat up on her bed to stretch.
Aria was sleeping with her earbuds on, so Adagio turned the music off. Sonata was sleeping in a weird position, and Adagio was uncomfortable about that.
Today is the soccer game between the Canterlot High University Wondercolts and the Crystal Academy Shadowbolts. And it is supposed to be a big event, according to the announcers.
Adagio took a long shower, which Aria hated and banged on the door, got dressed, and headed for the game.
"Woo! Go Wondercolts!" Adagio yelled, as Rainbow Dash, a member of the Wondercolts, ran swiftly with the soccer ball. "Meh, rather prefer the Shadowbolts, they're much cooler," Aria smirked.
"Go, Pinkie Pie!" Sonata yelled, as Rainbow Dash passed the ball to Pinkie Pie. "Yay! My ball!" Pinkie squealed with delight.
In the last five seconds of the game, Pinkie kicked the ball into the goal. Sonata was screaming like crazy.
"And the winner is, the Wondercolts!" The announcer yelled.
"Yeah! Beat that Aria!" Adagio screamed. Aria rolled her eyes and looked away.
A few minutes after the game, Adagio was in line to get an autograph from every member of the Wondercolts. "Hi! I'm Dagi... I mean, Adagio! Big fan!" Adagio said, jumping up and down.
"Looks like someone lost it," Aria laughed, Sonata giggled a little.
"Hi, I'm... Fluttershy," Fluttershy whispered as she backed away.
"Sorry, I couldn't hear you," Adagio said.
"It's Fluttershy!"
"Oh. Okay," Adagio said.
Soon, she met Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, Spitfire, Soarin, etc.
"Boy, what a game!" Sonata said as she fell onto her bed.
"Tell me about it," Aria sighed.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late for class!" Sonata screamed as she ran out of the dorm.
"Me too, bye Adagio," Aria said as she clumsily gather her scattered homework and books and rushed out the door.
Adagio was hugging all the autographs, squealing and jumping. As soon as she snapped out of it, she looked down and muttered, "I'm such a dork."
As Sunset Shimmer walked through the doors of Canterlot University, she gasped in awe. This isn't at all like Canterlot High.
Sunset explored as she pulled along her luggage with her. "Hi! I'm Sonata! Im assigned to give you a tour around the campus!" Sonata said.
Sunset nodded her head with delight as she followed Sonata around the University. So far, she learned about the classrooms, café, lounge area, and the principal's office. "And now, for the final thing I'm going to show you..." Sonata declaired. Sunset's face grew with excitement. "The bathrooms!"
Sunset's face fell. "Are you sure? Because I don't think looking in bathrooms on a tour is right," Sunset said.
"Okay, well, at least let me show you which dorm you're staying in," Sonata said, as she directed Sunset to the dormitory.
"Here you go! Home sweet home!" Sonata said happily.
Sunset Shimmer brought her luggage inside and took out some school supplies. "I'll leave you alone to pack," Sonata said.
"Don't you mean, unpack?" Sunset asked.
"Oh, yeah! Sorry!" Sonata blushed with embarrassment, and shut the door.
Sunset sighed with relief. "Finally! Peace and quiet!" A minute passed, and a girl about the same age as her opened the door.
"Why, hello darling!" a voice said.
"Oh, hi! Umm," Sunset said.
"Rarity. Nice to meet you. I suppose we're roommates," Rarity introduced.
"Oh! That would explain that queen bed over there," Sunset realized.
"Want to have breakfast at the café with my friends?" Rarity asked.
Well, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and this is a good opportunity to make friends. Sunset thought.
"Okay, darling. Come! Breakfast isn't going to eat itself would it?" Rarity said, as they walked to the elevator.
As Sunset walked into the café doors, she felt the warm and sweet scent of cinnamon rolls, fresh bread, and coffee awaiting her. She grabbed a tray eagerly and grabbed some muffins and coffee. "Sunset, I would like you to meet, Applejack, she bakes breakfast every morning including Granny Smith. She is a student here like us. And, maybe a little too old fashioned," Rarity said, as she waved to Applejack.
"Howdy, Sunset! Nice meeting you here!" Applejack said, kneading some dough to make bread.
"Hi," Sunset said, then she looked at her food, her mouth began to water.
"Sunset dear?" Rarity asked.
"Oh! Sorry!" Sunset said, embarrassed.
She sat down at a table, along with Rarity. "Sunset, I would like to introduce you to Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow, you know Applejack, and a new student like you, Twilight Sparkle."

Now, this might go until chapter 10. Sorry, I just can't help but write and write!
