Twilight paces the room, gazing at the two girls-turned-ponies sitting in front of her, completely entranced.

"This is wrong." she says to herself. Neither Fluttershy or Sunset say anything.

"This is very wrong."

She continues pacing, glancing back at the two ponies, biting her lip.

"I can't hypnotize them like this." she insists. "No matter how much I want to... No matter how good it feels... They're my friends, darnit! They trust me!"

The silence stretches out for a long, long time, before Twilight sighs.

"I... I can't do this." Twilight turns to Sunset and Fluttershy.

"W-Wake up." she says, flinching as the two slowly come to their senses. Fluttershy gapes at her surroundings; Sunset just looks at Twilight, and sighs.

"Dammit, Twi." she mutters. "I... Did you really-"

"No!" Twilight cuts in. "I didn't do anything, I promise! All I did was bring you two here..."

Twilight sits down, placing her head in her hooves.

"I can't do it." she moans. "I tried to do it... I almost told you two to do it. But I can't; I can't do that to the two of you, not without you knowing, or giving me permission. It's wrong."

Sunset stares at Twilight for a long moment, then another... Before nodding.

"I trust you, Twi." she says calmly. "If you say that you didn't, I'll believe you."

Twilight nods.

"I think it's very kind of you to stop." Fluttershy says softly. "You care enough about us not to go too far... Thank you."

"Don't thank me for almost hypnotizing you into having sex with me, please."

"Twilight..." Sunset says, raising an eyebrow. "How'd you even get us under? I don't remember reading the book."

"I, er... I left a command in both of you, to text yourselves something and then forget it." Twilight shrugs, blushing. "When you checked your phones, you'd fall into a trance and come to me."

Sunset nods. "That's actually kinda clever."

Twilight's blush deepens just a bit more.

"What about Adagio?" Fluttershy says, suddenly. "She's bound to have a lot of triggers implanted in us, just like that. Now that we're free, we won't obey them, and when she goes on her 'tour', she'll be expecting them all to work."

All three of them sit there, for a while, before Twilight brightens.

"I have an idea!" she cries. "Sunset, Fluttershy, g-"

The two of them wake up next to the alicorn, looking at her... Suddenly, information rushes into their minds, sending Fluttershy reeling. The yellow mare topples to the floor, crying out. Sunset merely grits her teeth, screwing her eyes shut as trigger after trigger enters her head.

"Damn..." she mutters, once everything is in place. "That's complicated."

"It has to be." Twilight says, sighing. "Adagio's left herself deep in your heads... What I've done is installed a set of triggers and commands that activate whenever any of Adagio's triggers come into effect. You'll be perfectly aware of everything that goes on when you obey her, even the changes to your minds... And you should be able to free yourselves at will. You need to be careful, though; the triggers only work once per hypnotic command, and I'd assume that once Adagio finds out you've broken free, you won't be able to do much. Your best weapon now is the element of surprise."

Sunset nods, standing on wobbly hooves. "Thanks for the help, Twilight. We'll need it."

The alicorn nods. "I wish I could do the same thing with the other girls, but..."

"We might not have time." Sunset says, nodding. "I get you. I've got a feeling we won't see each other for a while... So... In case worst comes to worst, and... And we don't get out of it on top..."

Twilight nods, wrapping Sunset into a hug.

"I've thought of that." she says. "Don't ask... If things do get that bad, I'll know."

Sunset nods, and Twilight lets out a tiny gasp; the mare is shaking, trembling softly as she clings to Twilight.

"I'm scared..." Sunset whimpers. "Dammit, but I'm terrified. I don't want to lose this... I don't want to go away forever."

Twilight simply nods, holding Sunset, rocking gently back and forth.

"Can I..."

"Yeah, you can go now, Fluttershy. Thanks for being understanding about all this." Twilight says. The yellow mare nods, giving Twilight and Sunset a smile and a wave, before hopping back through the mirror.

"I hate being the leader sometimes." Sunset moans. "It's so tense all the time... It's hard to stay hopeful. Even when you're afraid, you have to hide it... Because what'll they do without me?"

Twilight nods, squeezing Sunset close, before releasing her with a warm smile.

"That's the good thing about being the leader of our friends, in any world." she says softly. "You don't have to pretend, or act brave. If you're afraid, you can tell them, and they'll help you."

"But-"

"No buts." Twilight says sternly. "Talk to them about things like this. Confide in them. You don't have to be alone, Sunset. Please..."

Sniffling, she nods, giving Twilight a weak smile.

"Don't worry." she says. "I will. A-And don't worry about us. We'll beat her. I'm sure of it."

Twilight nods, wrapping Sunset in another hug, before leaning in and gently kissing her forehead.

"Go get 'er." she says, smiling. "I'll be waiting for you when I get back."

Sunset grins, saluting, before trotting through the portal, leaving behind a sighing Twilight. Slowly, her horn glows, and Rainbow's voice emanates through the room.

"Twi, you all right? Why's your magic thing here?"

"Rainbow Dash..." Twilight says, gazing at the pendant lying on a nearby table. "I... I have a proposition for you."

Sunset opens her door, rubbing blearily at her eyes. The light of the evening streams through the open windows of her home, alighting on the girl's messy hair and purple pajamas. She yawns, then looks at her visitor.

Fluttershy stands there, her hair unkempt, her eyes red and puffy. She stares up at Sunset, before speaking, her voice barely above a squeak.

"Can I..."

Sunset nods, gesturing inside. Fluttershy nods, entering and sitting down in one of the armchairs in Sunset's front room.

"Sunset..." she stammers. "I... I know I've done horrible, horrible things to you."

Sunset says nothing, simply sitting down and looking at Fluttershy.

"I b-brainwashed you into loving me... I brainwashed all my friends into loving me... And it's all my-"

"Fault?" Sunset finishes, raising an eyebrow. "You being hypnotized by one of our enemies was your fault?"

Fluttershy stammers and squeaks, before falling silent, simply nodding.

"I can see where you're coming from, just a bit." Sunset says, looking at the ceiling pensively. "I've been there before... You could've been stronger. You could've resisted somehow, or broken her control, or gotten help..."

Fluttershy nods, her head in her hands. She sits there, quietly sobbing... Until a pair of arms wrap gently around her, and the smell of jasmine mixed with just a hint of campfire smoke envelops her. She looks up, and Sunset smiles down at her, nuzzling her gently.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking." Sunset says quietly, after a little while. "You see... What Adagio did, it was very subtle. It's practically Hypnosis 101: Be as subtle as you can. And... What she did was... I guess... Accelerate things?" Sunset gives Fluttershy a hesitant smile. "I mean... Fluttershy, I didn't fall in love with you just because you made me. I fell in love with you... Because there's so much about you that I wanted to fall in love with."

Fluttershy whimpers, shrinking down into her chair, and Sunset lets out a tiny chuckle.

"Like that." she says. "That adorable little noise you make when you're embarrassed... The way you hide behind your hair, and blush... It's what drew me to you in the first place. When all this happened... I forgot that."

Sunset sighs, frowning. "I was so afraid... So angry... I'd thought everything I'd felt for the past three years had been a lie..." Slowly, Sunset stands, staring at Fluttershy with a warm smile... A loving smile.

"But I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I realized that not everything I've felt has been a lie... In fact, almost all of it was real. Real to me, at least. And... If it was real to you, too... I wouldn't mind giving things another shot, without the hypnosis, when we've stopped Adagio."

Fluttershy sniffles... And, slowly, she extends her hand, a tiny smile on her face and her eyes filled with something between hope, joy, and love.

"I would love that..." she says quietly. "Thank you so much..."

Sunset takes Fluttershy's hand and pulls the pink-haired girl to her feet, hugging her close, nuzzling her... The two of them stand like this for a long, long while, before Sunset's phone begins ringing, Sunset's own voice repeating the word 'Hello' over and over, in a cheerful tone. Sighing, Sunset retrieves the device from her pocket.

"Hello." she says, in a cheerful voice. Then she pauses, raising an eyebrow, before smiling.

"Sweet! Thanks a lot, V! You're the best!" Sunset hangs up, her phone beeping just a little while later.

"Who was that?" Fluttershy asks.

"Vinyl finished her album - you know, the one she did of remixes of the songs we did as the Rainbooms? She's gonna send us a track every day, and then post the full album somewhere where we can all get to it."

Fluttershy nods, her one phone letting out a cheery little 'ding!' She reaches for it, reading the screen.

"She sent me the first track." she says, and Sunset nods.

"We'll listen to it sometime tomorrow." she says, shrugging and putting her phone away. "For now... Fluttershy, do you want to... Sleep with me?"

Fluttershy blushes, stammering, but Sunset raises her hands defensively.

"I don't mean like that!" Sunset says. "I mean... Like... In the same bed with me. With your clothes on. We could... Snuggle... And talk... And fall asleep in each other's arms, like we used to."

Fluttershy takes a deep breath... and then smiles.

"I'd like that, yes."

'Did you get the track?' Rainbow's fingers fly over the keyboard as guitar riffs, chopped and bent in pitch, echo through her room. 'It's friggin' amazing!'

The text sent, Rainbow sets her phone down and bobs her head to the music, biting her lip.

"Damn, Vinyl." she mutters to herself. "You know your stuff!"

With a grunt, the rainbow-haired mare rises, swaying her body and twisting, spinning; dancing to the music. Rainbow wasn't much of a dancer, but something about this song almost begged to be danced to. She needed to get up and move!

Her dance slowly becomes more and more erotic as thoughts of her friends enter her head. She'd never noticed how toned Applejack's thighs were, or how amazing Fluttershy's rack was, not to mention the phenomenal ass Pinkie had on her... She bits her lip, but for a different reason as she slowly begins to undress, stripteasing the walls of her room. First comes her shirt, then the bra that kept her E-cups safely and secretly compressed, then her pants and panties, leaving Dash completely naked in her room, shaking her ass, thrusting her breasts out, moaning as she feels a massive heat begin to build up between her legs.

With a moan, her hands drift to her sex, and she begins pumping two fingers in and out of her dripping cunt, swaying and jerking as the music plays on, the beat thudding into her head, seeming to drive out every single thought but that of sex, and the heat, and Adagio...

Rainbow starts, pausing as the thought runs through her head. That can't be right. Adagio was the bad guy! Girl. Whatever! She hypnotized everyone into being her slaves! Adagio...
The Siren was incredibly hot. Visions of her submitting to Adagio flash through her head; she's licking her boots, moaning as she does... She's bent over a table, Adagio fucking her roughly with a strap-on... Rainbow's hands return to her crotch as she arches her back and cums, cums for Adagio...

She flops onto her bed, panting, the heat receding as the song trails off to a stop. Man, the coming days were going to be hard; how was she supposed to stop Adagio from hypnotizing everyone when all she wanted to do right now was give up; to let Adagio dominate her, let the Siren take her into her arms and-

Dash's phone chimes, and she picks it up; a text from Pinkie.

'I came to Adagio.' it says. 'She's amazing.'

'I came to Adagio' Rainbow replies, moaning as she imagines the Siren's hands holding her body, caressing her breasts, plunging into her cunt... 'I wanna submit to her so bad!'

Another chime; Rarity.

'I came to Adagio.' it reads. 'My word... I haven't had a climax that intense in my entire life... Isn't Adagio simply divine?'

Rainbow arches her back, her hand plunging into her cunt again as she imagines her friends kneeling, Dash among them, in front of that perfect, beautiful Siren...

A third chime, then a fourth. Fluttershy and Applejack.

'I came to Adagio.' Fluttershy's text reads. 'I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it... She's just so amazing...'

'I came to Adagio. Really tired now. Gonna dream of her tonight, for sure.' Applejack's text is brief.

Rainbow sets her phone down on her chest, and then begins masturbating in earnest, her eyes closing as she imagines the blonde-haired Siren walking in, commanding her, pressing Dash's face into her tight-

A final chime, and Dash reads the last text.

'I came to Adagio.' Sunset's text says. 'I know it seems strange... We'll talk about this tomorrow. Is it okay if you girls come see me at around two in the afternoon?'

'Sure.' Dash replies, before arching her back and cumming hard, crying out Adagio's name.
