"Let it be..."

The howl...

Previous Chapter

"Re..really Miss Dusk, I..it's fine!"

"Aww, like I am so damn sorry gurl! Here I can help!"

"Easy back wolfy. Shy is right we got this."

"No, here!"

Kneeling down wasn't the hard part, it was trying to lift the meager weight of her torso with atrophied legs. Knees trembling, her thighs burning, Sonata had to use the flour coverd counter top to steady herself. Sucking in a deep breath the youngest of the Sirens rose back to her stance.

"Wolfy?"

Glancing to the quick to knick name Pinkie Pie, Sonata gave her best fake smile and flipped her freshly washed ponytail back. A small trim later she felt like a new women. Unlike her Sister, Adagio, Nata was all to happy to get a trim. Giving the best big eyes she could the she wolf of the trio scratched behind her head.

"S..sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, forgot what a pillow felt like. Well like, if you discount Aria's huge butt! Teheh!"

Fluttershy just starred up at the girl as she worked a slightly damp cloth in attempt to clean up the mess her fellow Rainboom and the Siren had made.

"Ohh, I thought it was because of your hard time out side and diet. S..sorry."

Pinkie perked up and sprang to her feet with a bounce, the "fat girl" of the group yanked Fluttershy into a crushing hug and grinned madly from ear to ear.

"Shy you like totally nailed it! What we need...are cupcakes!!!"

The blue skinned Dazzling felt herself go a little green. While her figure was still skeletal from the long winter, her stomach was rounded and over packed with way to many of the culinary genius treats.

"Ahm like, wasn't that what we where making?"

"Duh silly, but a smart Pie always has a back up bakers dozen!"

With that the large girls fingers dug into her massive bloom of hair. If a hair war was to begin between the Alpha lioness and the chubby pie...it wouldn't end well. Yanking free from her massive of frosting pink curls, Pinkie offered a perfect platter of assorted flavors of cupcakes.

"This one is lemon zest (ha!), oooOOOoo and this one is double chocolate...urp..well it was, hehe, oh try my "mint road" its the best."

The now chocolate lip covered Rainboom grinned wildly and shoved a pair of cupcakes into either of Fluttershy and Sonata's hands. A low overly stuffed gurgle left the cringing she wolf at the sight of more baked goods.

"Ahm, Pinkie...you know I am on a diet."

"Psh! Come on shy you only wear a size 12! Come on its triple berry your fav!"

Peering down at herself, Fluttershy cringed at the valley of cleavage and girth her bosom held. "Blessed" as she was, for one so meek and homely as her, it was a curse more then anything. But being best friends with the schools most renown baker...wasn't helping.

"Well maybe just one..."

"Or two!"

Sonata shoved her own offerd treat into the yellow girls hand and stepped back patting her stuffed belly.

"I really had to many earlier, about this mess..."

Having finished off the rest of the dozen treats, Pinkie stowed her platter in its hairy home and patted her chin in thought.

"WeeeEEEeell, It is kinda messy. Don't you worry, let ol Mama Pinkie pie clean it up!"

"Ahm, like I totally think I got a few HUNDRED years on you gurl."

Fluttershy raised her finger to say something but stopped and found herself along with Sonata being pushed from the kitchen.

"Nah thems just immortal years, your already like my little Sis Marble in my eyes, you two go warm up the video games..."

Pinkie took a "dragon ball z" pose her fists at her sides and eyes narrowed.

"I shall defend my title of race track MASTER!!"

And with that, like a burst of chubby pink wind, she was back into the kitchen.

Fluttershy gulped at her friends antics and offerd the left over cupcake to Sonata.

"Are you sure, really, you should eat more."

Another gurgle struggled from the blue wolfess over packed paunch.

"Nah, heeh, I'm good!"

With a hair tuck behind her ear and a gesture to let the Siren go first, the two made there way into the living room. The antics from the now three day extended sleep over evident. A pile of empty energy drinks, a half eaten apple pie, piles of dirty cloths and way to many dvd cases scattered about.

"Oh...my, we really should clean up."

"Aint those folks of yours out of town till...?"

"Oh yes, Mother and Father are both lecturing over in Manehatten, the city is also home to our familys "summer house". Mother comes from money you see. They have taken a bit of a sabbatical since I will be starting college soon they thought I should have the spring off and time to myself and you girls."

"Us..girls? Think your jumping the gun dog. Ahm, Hellllloooo. A few months ago I was lying and using you for pocket change. Your just like, going to forgive that?"

Hiding behind her hair a bit, the mousey girl cup her hands in her lap as she sat on the magazine coverd couch.

"Well, of course. I can't hold a grudge, the position you three where in was just dreadful. Me holding a grudge would be like like...ohh..hurting a lost dog because it growled at me. And that is just, awful. "

Sonata rubbed the back of her head and took a seat as well.

"Dagi...she."

"Sonata?"

Taken a slow breath the small she wolf of the pack looked out the window at the mid morning melting, the winter seemed to be wrapping up rather quickly.

"You Rainbooms stole our magic, broke our pendants...and then there is the hunger. We still feel it, even now. I isn't the brains of this show, but I can tell you I know my Sisters. Aria is a noble soul, ya ya don't give me that look she really like totally is. She only wants to keep us safe...she will kill herself to get that power back. But Adagio. Dagi...she, she sigh...nevermind. I am like sure your Alpha will get through to her."

"Alpha?"

"Ya that bacon haired girl, Sunny setter."

"Ahm its Sunset Shimmer...Sonata can I ask you something?"

Having reached for the pile of video games, she dug for the one Pinkie loved.

"Uh, sure gurl!"

"Well, ahm, it isn't my place but..but why do you girls refer to yourselves with feral terms? Alpha, Beta, pack, etc. I only ask because well I love animals! And the more time I spend with you, I am starting to see the resemblance in each of you. I..I'm sorry, that was rude."

Sonata blinked, her immature brain struggling with an answer.

"Ahh, like I don't really know. In Equestria each of us where like big giant Sirens, we rocked shit hard! But here I don't know, it's almost like coming her we took on persona's or whatever of other creatures that aint human."

"Yes, but you have fangs. And I recall Aria Blaze at the battle of the bands, she was huge. And your Sister Adagio has an almost regal air about her, I always feel like she is looking down at everyone and everything like from atop her pride."

"Your killing it girl! Hehe"

"Ahm thanks...?"

"Think about it this way alright? Look at you and your own, your all different and stuff but kinda like us. Jock for brains is like the family dog, loyal and quick to bark. That farmer is like a freaking Amazon..trust me, ive met some in my time. Rarity seems almost like a fairy, her movement is far to "mythic" to be fully human. You girls maybe from here but find me another set of five that can use magic."

"I...I suppose your right. Your sisters give you to hard a time, talking with you is very enjoyable."

"Uhh? Naaaah, that's just how Ari is, she loves me and her butt really is a great pillow!!"

The two shared a giggle.

From down stairs now in push up position, Aria felt her gaze snap to the ceiling as if having a six sense.

"She is so fucking dead..."

Seated on a weight bench nearby chugging a monster, Rainbow Dash cocked an eye brow.

"Whats up?"

"Oh, nothing, just plotting the painful death of my moron of a Sister."

"Tsk, Sonata. Eh I don't know, she seems harmless to me."

"Says the neutered dog. Listen up abs for brains, Nata has more notch's on her belt then Dagi and I combined. I maybe the one to shield my Sisters but she is the sword."

"...Damn, could have fooled me she is kinda well..."

"An air head?"

"You said it not me."

"You'll change that tune when you hear her howl...and frankly while I cant stand you, I would honestly hate to see you suffer such a fate."

"Gulp...fair enough."
