Remember The Time

It was a pretty normal day for the Dazzlings. The same routine that played out every other day played out the exact same way today. The only thing different was the array of cleaning supplies that littered the floor. After their defeat at the Battle of the Bands, the three sisters were quite sore, but they had long since gotten over it and decided to completely start over. Both Adagio and Aria got jobs, leaving Sonata to keep house, which she did quite well. The Dazzlings refused to return to Canterlot High as Adagio feared that it would only bring them pain and suffering as their banishment had done so long ago. Ever since their defeat, the sisters had become closer, and there was a significant decrease in the amount of disputes and arguments between them. The household had never been so peaceful in all the years that they had been alive.

Sonata had just finished cleaning and straightening up Aria's room, and as she closed the door, she breathed out a heavy sigh. Cleaning was always a strenuous task, but someone had to do it. Sonata wiped the sweat from her brow and glanced at the clock that hung on the wall. Adagio and Aria wouldn't be home for about another hour, so Sonata decided to get dinner started. As Sonata gathered her supplies she soon came across a door that she didn't recognize. The door creaked loudly as it slowly opened. Inside, the room was dark, but there were dust and cobwebs everywhere. Sonata crept inside and walked into the darkness. This reminded her of every single horror movie  that she had seen before. The person walks into a dark room, the door closes and locks behind them and then the killer strikes. Sonata kept cautiously looking back to check if the door was still open. Sonata hadn't been paying attention to where she was going and walked right into something hard.

"Ouch!" Sonata yelped.

Looking down, Sonata saw a large brown, dusty trunk. Adagio and Aria hadn't said anything about this room or this trunk. Sonata was tempted to leave it and not mention anything about it to her sisters, but her curiosity would not let her leave it alone. Sonata struggled, but she eventually got the heavy trunk down the stairs. After a thorough dusting, Sonata got a better look at the trunk. She saw what looked like ancient symbols carved into the aged wood. Looking back at the clock, Sonata realized that her sisters would be home soon and dinner still wasn't ready. The trunk could wait, she had a meal to make.

The front door lock clicked and the door swung open revealing Adagio and Aria, both exhausted from a hard day's work.

"Sonata, we're home!" Adagio called out.

"Oh, hi girls," Sonata said from the couch. "Dinner's on the table. Heat it up if you need to."

Adagio and Aria walked into the living room to see Sonata on the couch with her food and looking through a very old looking photo album.

"Sonata, what is this stuff?" Aria asked, looking into the trunk.

"I dunno," Sonata replied, taking a bite out of her food. "Found it in a secret room upstairs.

Adagio and Aria exchanged confused glances. Adagio then reached into the trunk and pulled out what looked like a small flower Sonata looked at the flower and for some odd reason, her heart became heavy.
