Doctor Whooves: A Dazzling Encounter
Fixing Mistakes
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe TARDIS dematerialized in front of the statue at Canterlot High, with nine girls staring at it. The Doctor exited, followed by Sunset, holding her journal with the same symbol that was on her shirt. "Well, this will make an interesting read for Twilight."
"Heh, it probably will." The Doctor chuckled, and turned to the sirens. "So, what do we have to do with you lot?"
The Dazzlings shared glances. Adagio was still in the hoodie she had gotten from the TARDIS, while Sonata was busy looking on her phone for a Taco Bell. Aria, however, was in pretty bad shape. Her leg was in a cast, and she had crutches as well. There was a bandage around her forehead, and she was covered in several bumps and bruises.
Adagio hung her head, and said quietly, "Maybe, it's time we split up."
The other sirens gasped. "What are you saying?" Aria asked.
"We've been together for how long?" Adagio said, turning to her companions. "Since birth, over a thousand years ago. What have we done since then? We got banished, and then had to live in this world for a thousand years. Then, we came up with a plan to get our magic back. And, what happened? Our pendants were destroyed, and then, we had to live in a dreary apartment, with little to no money."
Sunset walked over to the Doctor, who was leaning against the TARDIS. "Is going where I think she's going?" The Doctor smiled.
Adagio sighed. "And, the thing is..." She looked up. "It's my fault."
The other sirens looked confused. "Wait," Sonata said, "what? I missed something, didn't I?"
"You see, I loved the power we were getting, but, I tolerated you," Adagio confessed, "both of you. But, I knew I needed you to keep gaining the power, and maybe, it's because I worried about you. I knew I probably should have let you go on your own path when we were in Equestria, but, instead I made you continue on with me. And, I dragged you down with me. And, look what it drew you to." She turned to Aria. "You tried to kill us. And, for that, I don't blame you."
Aria and Sonata still looked confused. "I guess what I'm trying to say is... I'm sorry." Her eyes became teary. Sonata jumped, and shrouded Adagio in a big hug.
"That was so sweet." She stuttered, squeezing Adagio even more.
"Okay...Sonata that's enough!" Adagio squeaked, as Sonata let go.
"But, I've been with you two my entire life! What am I supposed to do?" Sonata asked, wiping her eyes clean of tears.
Adagio placed her hands on Sonata's shoulders. "That's my point, Sonata. You've spent you're entire life with us. It's time you went out on your own. You're a free spirit, and, you're not evil, like Aria and I. You need to have a life of your own. After a thousand years, don't you agree?"
Adagio smiled, so did Sonata. "You're right, Dagi. And, by the way, you're not evil. Someone evil couldn't say something like that."
Adagio's smiled grew broader, and hugged Sonata.
"Wow," Sunset whispered, "I don't believe it."
"I do." The Doctor said.
"Really?"
"She didn't know it, but, she was being reformed," the Doctor informed, "every moment, every second, and every single moment over the past day or two, she was slowly becoming better. Your friendship, your kindness, helped her. And, look." He pointed to Adagio, who was getting teary-eyed, while still hugging Sonata. "Can you imagine her like that a few days ago?"
Sunset blinked. "No, I can't." She stared at the Doctor, who was grinning tremendously.
"And, that," he said, pointing at Sunset, "is true magic."
Adagio let go of Sonata, smiling broadly. She then stepped over to Aria. Aria had a shamed look on her face. Adagio frowned. "You crossed the line, Aria."
"I know." Aria replied, her head hanging down.
"Hey," Adagio said, walking toward Aria, "I'm not mad at you. I just have one question. Why? Why did you do this?"
Aria looked up. "I was always second best. If not third. I was ignored. No one noticed me, no one cared what happened to me. Adagio, you were always noticed. Everyone loved you. They adored you. And, Sonata, they loved you as well. Your silliness and goofiness made them want to get to know you. I wasn't even looked at. I wanted revenge.
"I found Starlight at a local diner. We talked for a while, and discovered how much we had in common. She already had access to the station, and we hatched a plan. One that would let me get my pendant back, and then, we'd use the station to submerge everyone's special abilities, and we'd win." She looked at Adagio. "But, when you created the plan to have us get our pendants back, we had to change the plan. We considered every factor, every detail, except one." She looked at the Doctor. "We never considered someone like you would come and start to change things. But, I'm glad you did."
The Doctor smiled, and then said, "Oh, and speaking of pendants, follow me!" He ran off to the side of the school, the nine girls following him. Aria and Pinkie had the most difficulty, as they were both on crutches.
The Doctor stopped, and pointed to a small plant, just starting to sprout. There were three small red jewels growing out of it. "Is that...?" Adagio asked.
"It is." The Doctor said, nodding. "Your pendants, regrowing."
"I don't believe it." Sonata said.
"You're going to destroy them, aren't you?" Aria asked.
The Doctor looked up. "No." he said.
"But," Adagio began, "if we get them back, what's to stop us from using their power to create chaos and mayhem?"
"Your will!" The Doctor said. "You are a better person now, Adagio, and you have the will to control yourself!"
"No, I don't!" Adagio shouted back. "If I get that pendant back, I will sing again, and will become addicted to the power I gain from it! That's what that is! It's not a privilege, it's a drug! A very addicting drug! And, I've just gotten off that addiction, but, if I start it back up, I will only cause more damage!"
"That's why I have a solution!" The Doctor said, pulling out his sonic screwdriver, and pointed it at the plant, activating it. "Scanning the internal chemical structure of the gems, and reversing the polarity of the feedback loop!"
The sound of the screwdriver turned to a higher pitch, and the color of the medallions slowly turned to a cerulean blue. "What did you just do?" Adagio asked.
"I changed their function." He replied, placing the screwdriver back in his pocket. "When they're fully grown, they will give you the ability to sing again, but, they will not cause anger. They will cause good feelings, happy feelings, that people would normally get when listening to someone sing. My old friend Rose was like that. She was a brilliant singer."
"You're getting off the subject." Adagio said, smiling.
"Oh, right." The Doctor said, and continued his explanation. "Because they create good feelings, you will feed on those. The cheerfulness your music provides will help you're cheerfulness as well."
"But, they're not fully grown yet." Aria observed. "When will we get them back?"
"When they are fully grown." The Doctor replied. "If you plan to split up, well then, do each of you have a phone?" The three girls nodded. "Good, right, well then, one of you can stay here, and when they are fully grown, you call contact one another, and let each other know."
"The question is," Sunset said, "which one of you will stay here?"
The Dazzlings looked at one another. Adagio spoke up. "I will." She said. "I caused the most damage, so, I should have to deal with it."
"That's very selfless of you, Adagio." The Doctor said. "Do you realize how much you've changed?"
"I don't know." Adagio said, "but, I do know, I still have a long way to go."
The Doctor smiled, and turned to Sonata and Aria. "What about you two? What will you do, and where will you go?"
"I'm thinking Mexico!" Sonata exclaimed. "Get a job, find a home, eat lots of tacos!"
The Doctor laughed, and turned to Aria. "And, you, Aria?"
"Maybe Canada." She said. "I hear there's nice people up there."
"Good." The Doctor said. "Well, look at how you've grown! How you've changed! How these past few days have effected you! They've been good, haven't they? I mean, besides the devastating betrayal, and trying to kill one another, and trying to submerge the entire planets populations special talents, it's been great hasn't it?"
"Yeah." Adagio said, looking at her fellow sirens, and how they'd finally made peace.
Then Pinkie Pie perked up, "But, before you go, we need a slumber party! A proper one this time!"
"We'll go to my place!" Rainbow Dash shouted, raising her hand.
Adagio looked at them all. "Thank you. All of you." She turned to the Doctor. "And, Time-Boy, you'd better be at this slumber party!"
The Doctor smiled. "Bet on it."
