Chapters Click click click. "So, when is this IP thing going to be done?" Rainbow boredly asked Sunset Shimmer, who slammed her head on the desk.
"No clue," she boredly responded. "I found the person who hacked, but it came up as an "Unknown ID. So now after this loads, I'll see what the IP number is. Then we can show the principles and life can be normal again."
"Why not call Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked throwing her soccer ball at the wall of her bedroom. "And why do this on my computer?"
"This isn't a magical trouble," Sunset told her, "and if you forgot, I smashed my laptop."
"And how does F even have all our num-"
"I don't have all the anwsers!" Sunset yelled. Stepping was heard immediately.
"Crap, now may dad is coming." Rainbow sighed.
"We'll don't let him see the laptop!" Followed Sunset immediately after Rainbow finished her sentence. Rainbow grabbed and slightly closed it. Then, she found a huge throw to hide it behind. After that, she grabbed two daring do books and threw one to Sunset and then sat down and read right as Rainbows dad waked in.
He opened the door with a bang, shaking Sunset. "You two okay?" He asked considered.
"We're good dad," Rainbow responded. Her dad left and Rainbow got up and grabbed the laptop.
"What was that?" Sunset said, "I did yell, but barely." Sunset felt guilty right after she said that. Rainbows eyes became sad and her normal face turned to a frown. "You know what? Dumb questi-"
"No, no its fine." Rainbow sat on the bed. "A year and a half ago, my mom screamed like you just did, and my dad didn't pay attention. But later, her went upstairs to find her, her..."
This was the first time Sunset sare Rainbow cry. "Dead.'' She peeped out.
Sunset felt horrible. "I'm so sorry, you know it was tough to be honest leaving my parents in Equestria."
Rainbow wiped her tears. "No, I'm sorry. Here I am crying about my mom when your parents are in another dimension, both of AJs parent died, Fluttershys dad died before she was born, and Scootaloos dad is in the army and *sniff sniff* her mom left her so she's stuck with her Aunt.."
"Shhh Rainbow, "Sunset did feel a little pain about missing her parents. "It's okay."
* * *
"It still haven't loaded!" Rarity asked her the next day in 4th period Study hall.
"Nope." Sunset sighed. "Ugh, maybe if someone didn't have there GB filled off selfies, sport games and, a puzzle, a puzzle? Why the hell do you have a, meaning one, puzzle?" Sunset holder up one finger.
"Puzzles? What puzzle?" Rainbow Dash took her laptop. She click the 'puZzle' icon. A word puzzle came up. Something was wrong...
"Darling, why are all our names highlighted in red in this word search?" Rarity asked.
"This isn't," Rainbow clicked a few keys "guys, this isn't mine, what the fu-"
"Read the red at the bottom." Sunset pointed to the writeing.
"Smashing you computer won't get ride of me -F"
"Holy FUCKING CRAP!" Sunset raged very loudly as her face turned red. She heard Ms. Cheerilie gasp. Shit. She remembered her younger students where here in the library as well.
"Sorry." Sunset looked down in shame hoping she wouldn't get a detention. Luck was here's and Ms. Cheerilie walked away. Then came back with a clipbored. Her luck was shattered. Sunset was a student to accidentally get in trouble.
"Minding you language, maybe you three," she made eye contact with Rarity and Rainbow Dash, "would like to sign up for our blood drive? It would be very helpful for the students and let's just say Sunsets record." Cheerlie smiled at Sunset like she just 'told her off'.
I would bash you head right now. Sunset thought. Ring ring Sunset heard a phone ring. She froze. Are you serious Rainbow... you didn't mute your phone?
"I leave you three to this," Ms. Cheerilie dropped the clipboard onto their table and walked away. Rainbow looked around and immediately grabbed her phone as soon as the coast was clear. "It's a messge." Rainbow gasped.
"Read it! " Rarity shouted.
"It reads: A blood drive? Thaat's not something you should be doing now. Pass or that's F's next target." Rainbow paused in confusion.
"Is F helping us?" Sunset rubbed her forehead. "What?"
" -Speed." Rainbow finished. "Speed?"
"What the hell," Sunsets grabbed her phone and read. "Who's Speed?"
"F playing a trick on us?" Rarity suggest right as the bell rang. The girls started heading to there next class.
"Maybe not," Sunset thought.
"Girls!" Ms. Cheerilie yelled. She came to the girls at last. "So will you sign up?"
"Oh, Ms. Cheerlie I'm so sorry but we have a band gig in that day. Sorry." Sunset apologized.
"It's okay girls, have a great day, bye!" Ms. Cheerilie raced away.
"Darling, why did you say no? We have no band gig." Rarity asked.
"I think Speed is trying to help us," Sunset whispered. "For real."
* * *
"Who's Speed and who's F?" Applejack said confused.
"We don't know, they could be anybody basically." Sunset said. "And F could get us anyway now."
"And what in the world the that mean?" Fluttershy asked worried.
"Speed texted me," Sunset confessed, getting an angry look from the five girls. "And Speed told me that quote "F coould either hurt you at the blood drive or show Cheerilie the truth. Which one do you choose? -Speed." So, F has two ways."
"Double letters?" Pinkie said pointing it out.
"Coould?" Rainbow looked back at the previous message. "Thaat?"
"Speed is trying to send us a message. A and O. The beginning of it." Sunset said. Ding ding ding!
"The download is done! We can see the IP address!" Sunset pressed some keys with a smile on her face. That smile quickly became a frown.
"Unknown ID!" Sunset yelled at the top of her lungs. "UNKNOWN ID!" Tears formed in her eyes. "We'll never get through this alive. It's only an uphill battle from here."
Applejack put a hand on her sholder. "We'll get through this, together."
"So, Applejack," Sunset said concerned, "you're backpack is not light pink with sparkles on it." Applejack looked up from ripping papers and items out of a pink sparklely backpack.
"It's Appleblooms," Applejack, element of honesty, confessed. "She didn't give me her report card. It gotta be in here somewhere. Maybe if she cleaned her bag." Applejack looked up in discuss as she took put a clump of blonde hair.
"Maybe she forgot, " Sunset said, as shetyped on her brand new laptop. She was redoing the video so they could get a little credit for the Congo Basin video.
"Got it!" She yelled as she sat down on the couch her house. She unraveled her sisters report card, which was in a little square.
"This video isn't going anywhere." Sighed Sunset closing her laptop and putting it on the table.
"Stop thinking about F," Applejack read Sunsets mind. " He or she isn't a..." Applejack stopped as her face turned bright red in anger. She let out a raging yell: "APPLEBLOOM!!"
"Holy Celestia," Sunset eyes open very wide. "What the hell is so-" Applejack shoved the report card in her face. The report card said she was passing everything, 100, 100, 100, and then a 54% in math. The girls heard Applebloom stumble down the stairs. She swung around the rail as she popped her ear buds out. She gave Applejack a suprised look.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"What's the matter is the fact your failing math with a 54 percen-"
"You went in my bag?" Applebloom yelled angerly, she hated people going in her bag.
"You didn't tell me about these test?" Applejack responded in the same tone. The room was silent as Sunset looked away, just wanting to disppear. "May tutoring starts tommorow, pick a person to teach you math and get you buckin grade up!" Applejack threw the report card onto the floor and walked away. Sunset looked at Applebloom.
"I could teach you." Sunset offered clutching her bag she had packed during the sisters fight.
"Thanks Sunset, really, but I'm 12," She put her ear buds in her pocket. "I can pick my own tutor." And she went back to her room.
Sunset looked at Applejack and she looked back in sham for being very rude to her sister. "Was it that bad?" Applejack asked.
"Stop thinking about F, he or she isn't a problem." Sunset smiled and laughed ad she quoted her friends words.

The Rainbooms sat on the side of the stairs in the front of the school. It was a windy Thursday, always a very busy at their school. Finishing projects, school started 20 minutes earlier, choice block was cancelled, tutoring ,and even specially for today, people where fixing the glass circle on the roof that had been shattered. But something was also off, very off. People where whispering, they looked like they where looking for something. But what? The girls had no clue.
"What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked Cloud Kicker who knew everyone's buisness.
"Oh boy, their coming!" Cloud Kicker squeaked as sheignored Rainbow Dash and her question.
"Who?" She asked. She soon layed eyes on 'who'. "Oh crap..." She muttered.
It was no other then the dazzlings. They where returning to canterlot high. They had lost there pendants, which allowed them to sing and put the whole school under their spell, to the rainbooms two months back. They were sirens from Sunsets magical home, equestria, who had been banished here for unknown bad acts. There was the power hungrey leader, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, the moody siren, and Sonata Dusk, the happy but evil taco loving one.
Adagio had broke her writing arm, so she had wrapping around her arm. Nobody cared for her injury, or their sad faces. They received mean comments"
"Look, the sirens are back."
"Where were you three for two months? A pit?"
"Once a Bitch, your always a Bitch."
"Why y'all back? News got around so nobody accepted ya into other schools?"
Aria and Adagio looked like they want to bash them, but also, very very sad. Unlike Sonata who was just sad in whole. The three went into the building, and everyone went back to their regular life. Sunset felt guilty tripping up. She had been in their shoes, and now she felt horrible for them being in hers.
"Ugh, I feel horrible!" Sunset said.
"Why?" Applejack said, being the one who made the "Why y'all back? News got around so nobody accepted ya into other schools?" comment. The rainbooms felt the same as Applejack: they deserved it. But not Sunset. She felt the opposite.
"Everyone needs a second chance to redeem themselves." Sunset preposed.
"No, they don't." Rainbow said as they headed to their first class.
* * *
"Another project!" Pinkie sighed as the six drove to Raritys house. "We just had one and now we need to make a video on India!"
"We are not making a video." Fluttershy said. "We're writing a paper."
"Why?" Pinkie sighed.
"Because-" Ring ring!
All the girls ripped their phones out. A message was sent.
"Gernerous, honestly, laughter, kindness, loyalty. Then theirs cruelty. -F." Read Applejack as she sighed. Rainbows face turned pail.
"Rainbow, what wrong?" Fluttershy asked.
"Mine says: Next time, the barrel will have some shine like a rainbow. -F. What does this mean?" Rainbow said in fear.
"No idea, a donkey game refrence?" Rarity thought. "Where there!" The six went into Raritys boutique, where she sold clotheing. Rarity loved fashion , but not as much as she loved designing it.
"Wow Rarity, this is real nice." Sunset gasped.
"Thank you darling," Rarity said bashful "my room is upstairs to the left."
"Good, cause I need to got pee!" Pinkie was gone in a flash. Silents filled the room, bit Fluttershy shrugged, "It's Pinkie."
"Oh Sunset! I have a perfect dress for the Spring Fling for you!" Rarity raced to her room.
"Oh thanks, but I'm not going to the Spring Fling." Sunset responded. Rarity froze as she stepped the last step. She turned around and gave her an annoyed look. "Why not?" Rarity said in an annoyed tone.
"I have no date." Sunset looked down. Silence once again, filled the room.
"Please, none of us have dates!" Rarity raced back to get the dress. After Pinkie got back and almost tripped on Rainbow, the girls relized Rainbow still was upset about the message.
"Don't be scared sugarcube-"
"I'm not scared." Rainbow said bodely. "Just, what if this F person killed my mom?" Rainbow eyes filled with fear. "What if they want to kill me and my dad?"
"That won't happen." Pinkie said. "Stay positive!" Pinkie clearly was sad as well.
"Okay." Rainbow got up. "I'm positive F wants to hurt us. Physically."
"Where do you get that idea?" Fluttershy asked.
"Someone was in my house.. I mean.." Rainbow looked around. "I think I know who F is."
"Who!" Yelled Sunset with joy.
"Adagio." Rainbow said. "She was in my house last night. With a black hoodie. I say we confront her." Rainbow became herself again.
"Adagio want revenge for the pendent! It all makes sence!'' Applejack said. A shriek off fear was heard from Raritys room after Applejack finished her sentence.
"Rarity!" The five yelled. The sprinted to her room and sare she was on the ground. The rushed to help immediately.
"Are you stabbed? Hurt?" Sunset questioned.
"No, it was someone," Rarity leaned up. "In a white cloak, that had a furry outline, and white gloves, and white poms poms boots. The attacked me. Threw me to the ground and took my, my needle."
"Wait, Rainbow, you said F had a black hoodie. Not a white cloak." Pinkie became confused.
"Because F did!" Rainbow said.
"You sare F?" Rarity said.
"It's Adagio." She responded. Rarity gasped and muttered "Bitch."
"Was it Adagio?" Sunset asked helping her up.
"I don't know." Rarity said. "This person threw me across the room and Adagios arm is broken, so Aria most likely."
"Or..." Rainbow pointed to Raritys closet. Wroten in blood colored paint, it said: TALENT.
"So F or Speed wanted to prove they have talent?" Applejack said. "Ya'll also confused, right?" Everyone nodded, everybody bit Sunset Shimmer.
"No," Sunset preposed. "Maybe Talent is F's henchmen."
* * *
"Thanks for letting me sleepover Applejack. We do need to plot our plan to bring the dazzlings." Rainbow said as Applejack unlocked her door to her house.
"Now be quiet, I need to talk to Appleblooms tutor." Applejack said.
"It's seven, why would her tutor still be here?" Rainbow asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Because, the first tutor is long because of Principle Celestia. Now go to my room.'' Applejack pointed to upstairs. Rainbow headed upstairs. Applejack put her bag on a rack and walked into her living room, and sare Applebloom with her tutor. Her tutor was Aria Blaze. Aria froze when she sare her and dropped her pencil.
"What are you doing here?" Applejack crossed her arms.
"So you do know each other?" Applebloom nervously smiled.
"Wha- Applebloom! You didn't say you lived with her!" Aria said, voice shakey. She was clearly very worried. Sweat dripped from her forhead.
"My name is Apple bloom! It's in the name. What, did you think we weren't related?" Applebloom said to Aria like Aria was an idiot.
"I need to go." Aria grabbed her bag and shoved her papers in them.
"Why the hell are you in my house, huh?" Applejack blocked her way.
"I'm leaving, please let me go." Aria said sounding very more scared. She shoved Applejack out of the way and left.
After the Arias car was gone, Applebloom spoke. "Now what was that-"
"Why'd ya pick her Applebloom?" Applejack pointed her hand to the door.
"Because, none of the students where picking her, and I felt bad-"
"Maybe none of the students where picking her for a reason, she dangerous!"
"Really! Sunset turned me into a zombie! But now she's at our house every five minutes!"
"She's changed Applebloom!"
"Yeah, I think the dazzlings have as well, you just need to give them a chance."
"Your just a kid Applebloom! What do you know!". Applebloom gasped in affence. Tears welled in her eyes.
"I know kids can do anything!" Applebloom stormed right passed Rainbow, who watched the whole conversation. Rainbow and Applejack shook as Applebloom slammed the bedroom door very hard. Bang!
"So, we still gonna plan?" Rainbow asked.
"Yes." Applejack said after a moment. Ring ring! Her phone went the next. She ripped out her phone and then read the message there was: Wow, who's the better actress? -F.
Ring ring! Her phone went in her own hand. Another message.
Sorry to come in on such a short note. Me and Speed are so close to finding out who F is. -TALENT.
It all cam clear to Applejack in that moment: Speed and Talent are working together to find out who F is.
"Are you sure there working together?" Sunset asked.
"And are you sure Speed and or Talent isn't just F?" Rainbow said.
"F is Adagio." Rarity corrected.
"Yes, why would Talent send it if it wasn't true?" Applejack told them.
"Because Talent attacked Rarity." Sunset said. Applejack rolled her eyes as she slammed her locker shut. She gave a Glace over at Aria, who was getting a book out of her locker. "I have to apologize to her."
"Why!" Rarity said.
"I was a Bitch to her. And plus Applebloom won't talk to me until I do." Applejack adjusted her book bag as she started walking over to Aria. Alone.
"Hey Aria, " Applejack said. Aria was clearly ignoring her. "I just want to say I'm-"
"Is this some sort of joke?" Aria slammed her locker.
"No, I'm apologize-"
"No, shut up!" She yelled, "get the hell away from me! Seriously!"
"Please, not like I wanted to apologize! Not like I'm not scared of you! " Applejack yelled in self defense.
"Why would you be scared of me?" Aria was now annoyed. "I'm powerless!" Applejack began to speak bit Aria cut her off, "These 'text' your sending me and my sisters need to stop." Aria held up her phone to show a message. "Now." It was a message from F.
You've belonged behind bars, not in school. -F.
"We know it's you Applejack," Aria said as Applejack reread the message in surprise. Applejack didn't know what to say. They weren't alone. F was attacking them too!
"Aria you have to belive me it's not me! This same person is attacking us, Speed and Talent, Aria, you have to belive, me!" Applejack was shaking her.
But Aria gave her that same disgusted look, but Applejack could tell she was impressed. "Only F would know that. Believe you my ass." And she walked away. Applejack stood there, not believing what she sare with her own two green eyes.
"Applejack, what just happened?" Sunset asked.
"Guys," Applejack said. "Adagio isn't F."
"Yeah she is," Rainbow said.
"Well, she can't be attacking herself and her own sisters, right?" Applejack said.
"Aria's a great actor." Rainbow said.
"How would you know?"
"Adagio was in my house! I sare her! With my two own eyes!" Rainbow stompped away to her class.
"Applejack, I agree." Sunset said, putting a hand on her sholder. She took a glance at the other three, and they looked down. "But we can't know for sure until we talk to them.". Applejack sighed as she took Sunsets hand of her sholder. She stormed away to her class.
Sunset sighed. "Bye." Sunset walked away.
"Where are you going?" Rarity crossed her arms.
"To talk to Sonata." Sunset said.
* * *
As soon as Sunset spotted Sonata Dusk, sitting alone at a lab table, she made her move. She got out off her seat and sat at her lab table. The chair made a clunck as she sat in it. Sonata quickly looked up. She gave Sunset the same look Aria gave Applejack: fear.
She didn't say anything, just looked in shock.
"Hi." Sunset kindly said. "I need to talk to you.". Sonata still looked at her in the same fearful way.
"Um," Sonata spoke, voice shaking, "What is it about? The homework?"
"No," Sunset looked around to make sure nobody was looking. "F."
"Oh, I see what this is," Sonata giggled. "Ready to confess, huh?".
Sunset looked at her with shock and confusion. "No!" Sunset boomed in a whisper. "I'm not F. Applejack and none of the rainbooms are F. F is attacking us as well. We don't know who it is! Now, to be honest, we thought it was Adagio, but now where thinking otherwise." Sonata gave her a confused look. Sunset looked around again. "Look, please tell me why the hell Adagio was in Rainbows house?"
"I don't know if I can trust you," Sonata twisted her hair.
"Sonata, I swear on this world and Equestria you can trust me." Sunset sympathetically told her.
Sonata looked around. "Fine." She pouted. "Adagio thought that Rainbow was F so she broke into her house to see if she could find the black hoodie F wore when F almost stabbed Adagio to death. That's why she wears a cast."
Sunset became lost. "Wait, Adagio wore a black hoodie to go find a black hoodie?"
"We're poor Sunset! We can't even pay the freaking grocery bill!" Sonata yelled.
"Look I don't have much time to say this but do you think-"
"Sunset Shimmer!" Sunset turned her head to see Discord, their new science teacher. "Your not in this class!" Shit, I've been caught Sunset thought.
"Tell Adagio to meet me at the library today. Come with her." Sunset quickly said as she got up and left Sonatas class. Right as Discord slammed the door on her, ring ring went her phone.
Busted bitch! -F the message on her phone read.
* * *
"A meeting? Why the hell did you do that?" Rarity asked.
"Because we'll be one step closer to -F's big reveal." Sunset said.
"That's horse shit." Applejack sighed. "Adagio is probably gonna lie."
"The pendents are broken, stop playing under there spell." Sunset gave her an annoyed look.
Applejack gave her a confused look. "What?"
"Sonata isn't just dumb, but she's honest." Sunset told the girls. "She wouldn't lie."
"How do you know that?" Pinkie said as she ate a cupcake.
"Well, I dont, cmon! Trust me!" Sunset begged.
"I'm with Sunset," Fluttershy stood up next to Sunset. "This is dangerous, why would Sonata lie?"
"Correction," Rainbow yelled. "Why wouldn't she-"
"Applejack!" Granny Smith yelled as she entered Applejacks room. "It's for you." She held the phone to her. Applejack took it. "Hello?"
"Applejack," it was Aria, and she sounded scared. "We need help."
* * *
"This isn't bad," Rarity examined the dazzlings house. It was light blue and had many windows. But the windows where closed, due to having thunderstorms and rain. Sunset parked the car and got out with Applejack and Fluttershy.
"You three stay here." Sunset told Rainbow, Rarity and Pinkie. "I'll call if there's an emergency.". Sunset went up to the door and knocked. No reply. She knocked twice again. No reply. Applejack started spamming the doorbell with bordem. "It was a trick." Applejack said.
"Aria, open up." Sunset said as the rain drenched her hair. The girls waited while thunder booked and lighting sparked. They looked back at the car, where the other three gave them a really? look. Sunset shrugged.
"This is stupid, let's go." Fluttershy opened up to her true feelings.
"Cmon." Sunset kicked the door in rage. But ofcorse, then it opened.
The three creeped inside the house. It may have been nice on the outside, but it was not as good as the inside. It was neat, clean, and smelled like tacos.
"Aria?" Fluttershy said loudly in fear. A hand grabbed her and pulled her behind the stairs. It was Arias hand. Sunset and Applejack followed as the five of them, including Sonata, hid behind the stairs.
"What this all about-" Applejack was cut off by Arias sushing.
"Be quiet!" Aria told them.
"Where's Adagio?" Sunset asked.
"Grocery store. Getting sour patch kids!" Sonata whispered.
"Aria, what's happening?" Sunset asked.
"Someone is here." Aria said. "There wearing this green coat and they have blonde hair."
"What?" Applejack said. "Is it Speed?"
"No, Speed had a black hoodie." Aria said.
"How do you know?"
"Because I sare them! All three! The night Adagio got stabbed in the arm. They saved us. We would have been dead. Speed took F and slammed he or she against the wall. Then Talent wrapped a bandage around Adagios injury and the green jacket took the knife and threw it in a swimming hole." Aria took a breath.
"And you sare none of their faces?" Fluttershy asked confused and disappointed. Sonata and Aria nodded.
Lightning flashed. A shadow was seen. It was a shadow of someone in a hoodie, showing their hair, which was curly. "What was that!" Gasped Fluttershy as her and Sonata hugged eachother. Sunset ripped her phone out. "NO WIFI!" She shouted as Aria put her hand on her mouth and shushed. Lightning flashed again. The person was leaning against the kitchen table, which was visable to the five. The face was not visable, but Aria was right: the person had a green jacket with a hoodie and blonde hair that went down to their ribs. They where also wearing jeans, along with black high heel boots.
Lightning flashed again, and the person in the green coat was gone. The lights went on as the rain poured outside. Multiple knocks where heard. Aria opened the door. Rarity, Pinkie, and Rainbow entered.
"What happened, we could here you screaming from outside!" Yelled Rainbow.
"I don't know, but this person-"
Ring ring, beep beep, woah woah, ahhhhh, ahhhhhh! Everybody's phone went off. The eight ripped their phones out. A new message.
" "All of these ghost, they, haunt deep inside of you," " Aria read the message, that was quoted from a song. She paused and looked up. " -Salvage."
"Salvage!" Rainbow yelled. "There's four of them!"
"Well only one's trying to kill us!" Pinkie smiled, trying to be optimistic.
"Oh, goody." Aria said. "Sonata, call Adagio."
"I did. She said just met Liz Kin!" Sonata said as she ate her taco. "Tacos are life!" She yelled.
Aria closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Anything else?"
"Nope." Sonata said. "Someone's at the door, btw!" Aria turned around to see it was her own sister, Adagio. She pounded the door with her arm, that she held the sour patches with. She was angrey. Aria quickly opened the door. Adagio, drenched, stompped in, threw the sour patches at Sonata, and yelled, "SONATA I TOLD YOU TO LET ME IN I DIDN'T HAVE THE KEY!"
"I thought you said I met Liz Kin!" Sonata stepped away. Adagio stared at the rainbooms.
"And why, are you six here?!" Adagio yelled, she was clearly in a mood.
"F, Speed, Talent, and Salvage." Sunset said.
Adagio gave a confused look. "You too?". The six nodded. Adagio turned to Aria. "And you believed them?"
"Yes, well, but, they got the text! They knew everything! Exactly! On point-"
"Because they're the little F crew!" Adagio yelled as she flung her arms up. She ouched as she put her wounded arm down, forgetting she had it. "Ofcorse they know it."
"Really," Sunset said "then why did you break into Rainbow Dash's house?"
"To find the back hoodie and prove you guilty." Adagio put her hand on her hip.
"Well, thats what Sonata told me." Sunset shrugged.
"YOU TOLD!" Yelled Adagio. Sonata dropped her half eaten bag of sour patches.
"She said she sweared on everything." Sonata locked the sour powder of her lips.
"This is ridiculous.' Adagio sighed, then yelled "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
"ARIA THE ONE WHO CALLED US!" Applejack yelled, impersonating Adagio.
Adagio started at Aria again. "Why the hell-"
"The person, with the green jacket, Salvage, was here, and I didn't know what to do," Aria shivered.
"Please Adagio, I know you hate us, but can't you just put pur differences aside, for the sake of our lives. We're willing to give you three a second chance if you just promise to be 100% honest with us." Sunset held her hand out. Adagio looked at it, then her sisters, then her hand. "Fine," Adagio shook her hand. "Why not."
"Great, now, what happened when you got stabbed by F?" Sunset asked.
Aria spoke up. "Um, I told you this already."
"I know, but Adagio hasn't." Sunset told her.
"Okay, so the three of us where eating dinner, peacefully. All of the sudden the power went out. This was a time we thought F was kids playing a prank on us. Sonata got scared and screamed, but me and Aria just lit some candles. Then, we see this person, with a black hoodie, throw a knife at us. It was F. Aria tried calling Applebloom but but she wasn't answering. Soon, I tackled this person and told Sonata to call 911. That's when F pulled the second knife out and put it threw my wrist. I cried in pain and fell to the floor. The F took a bat and knocked Sonata unconscious and locked Aria in and closet. F was about to put the knife threw my heart when Speed came and grabbed F, and and slammed he or she against the wall. Talent bandaged me. And Salvage took the weapon and, I think threw it in the trash. Then, the four of them where gone." Adagio gasped for air.
"Why didn't you tell the police?" Rarity got a towel for Adagio, who was pestill drenched.
Adagio snickered. "Like they would care."
"What doctor took care of you?" Fluttershy asked.
"Talent left at list of what it should do, it was about , 13 pages. This cast is still on for another week.' Adagio patted her cast.
"Well, okay." Sunset said looking at her watch. "It's 9:00. We gotta go home." Sunset opened the door.
"Wait, please stay for the night." Adagio hopelessly said. Sunset gave her a blank look.
"Why?" Sunset asked.
"I'm just being 100% honest." Adagio smirked.

"What the hell was that website you gave me?" Rainbow Dash asked Scootaloo as Scootaloo watched some funny videos. She giggled at a funny part. Rainbow had had it. She slammed her laptop shut. Scootaloo looked up in annoyness. "Hey!" She yelled.
"What the hell was the website you gave me?' Rainbow asked.
"Hold on!" Scootaloo held up her finger showing hold on as she opened her laptop back up up and typed. "It's [url=http://laughingvid-"]http://laughingvid-"[/url ]
"Don't make a scene." She told her.
"For real, it's [url=http://laughingvideo,]http://laughingvideo,[/url ] that's what it's called." Scootaloo shut her laptop and layed back back on her hospital bed.
"Well that website was shit. I'm now failing geography." Rainbow told her.
"Sorry Rainbow." Scootaloo took a devil dog out of a secret box under her bed. Rainbow Dash ripped it out of her hand. "Really!" She yelled.
"You can't eat these." Rainbow said as she ate it. "Your doctor said so."
"Wanna know what else my doctor said, I was never gonna be able to ride my scooter again. But tell me sis, what's sitting out in front of my house? What do doing ride to school everyday?"
"Also said your supposed to do it you inhaler thing twice a day." Rainbow took took it out. "Now do it." Scootaloo took it and did it. Then she put it away.
"I have have a game tomorrow." Rainbow said.
"I know when all your games are. Are you alright? Your acting well, sad." Scootaloo got up and plugged in her laptop.
"It's nothing. Trust me." She said. "So, you going to the dance on Friday?"
"Yes, and clearly it's something," Scootaloo checked her phone. "Because I just got a text from both Sweetie and Applebloom saying that their older sisters are acting strange.". Rainbow didn't need oto see the text to believe it. She knew it was true.
"It's nothing, trust me, just nervous about not having dates." Rainbow said. "Gotta go Scootaloo, bye.". Rainbow Dash ran out before she could worry Scootaloo even more.
* * *
"People are noticing us. "Fluttershy said. "We need to forget F."
"How? I got about 10 text from F." Sonata flipped her ponytail.
"Ugh, I think I gotta' tell Big Mac bout' this." Applejack said as she opened her folder to get get her music homework.
"The F will come after him!" Sonata said.
"Hello Dusk, Shy, and AJ." Spitfire, a coach of many sport teams at CHS said. Fleetfoot, her best friend and backup coach sat down next to her, who had took two other students seats.
"Hey." Applejack said.
"I need a pencil, got one?" Fleetfoot asked.
"I got one." Sonata grabbed her back up pencil and handed it to her. "Here.". Fleetfoot and Spitfire looked at eachother in disgust.
"Oh," Fleetfoot took the pencil. "Thanks?" The two took off.
Sonata sighed. "Ugh, that was embarrassing. I'm a siren. They hate me."
"Don't be upset sugarcube." Applejack said.
"I still dont even have a date" Sonata looked down.
"Hey, we don't either." Fluttershy said. "None of of us do.". Sonata smiled. Then she frowned.
"What if F ruins this?" Sonata questioned.
"Cmon, it will be great!" Fluttershy told her. "What can F do with all that security?"
"Guys!" Rainbow Dash looked up from her computer. "I can find out who F is!"
"So, when will you be able to find this code out?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Before the dance tommorow," Rainbow squealed.
"I can't belive it! This misery is almost over!" Adagio smiled. Everyone was smiling, everyone bit Sonata, who was upset about not having a date. She like alot of boys, but they despised her. Pinkie noticed. She felt horrible, not even knowing what was wrong. She got up and walked to Sonata.
"What's wrong?" Pinkie asked.
"Nothing." Sonata wipped her mascara.
"Don't lie. Remeber, 100% honest!" Pinkie smiled.
"I don't have a date. Nobody will ever like me." Sonata looked away to hide tears and embarrassment. Pinkie thought of something that that she sould have told Sonata a long time ago.
"Sonata looked at me." Pinkie told her. Sonata looked at her. Pinkie pie leaned in and kissed her. Sonata fell back in suprise. She stared at Pinkie, feeling herself blush. "Um... wanna go to..." Sonata stuttered. "Sure." Pinkie anwsered.
* * *
"I'm so excited!" Yelled Sunset. "F will be gone tonight thanks to Rainbow!"
"Yeah, what is she doing anyway?" Rarity asked.
"She got the number F uses to text us. Now, she's gonna track the number down. Then we know who F is!" Sunset smiled.
"Oh... complex. But I have dresses for all of us! I'm so pumped!" Rarity got excited over the talk about fashion.
"And I got a date!" Sonata cheered.
"Who?" Asked Applejack.
"Oh, someone." Sonata smiled towards Pinkie, who smiled back.
"Ugh, this is taking forever!" Rainbow sighed. "I'm getting bored."
"Cheer up, you just saved our lives. Uh, my arm feels so free!" Adagio moved her cast free arm.
"Just when oh when is Sweetie going to be back!" Rarity complained. "I need her to take these dresses I made for her and her two buddies."
"I'm here." Sweetie walked up to the girls.
"Here." Rarity gave them to her.
"Thanks! See ya tonight!" Sweetie Belle skipped away.
"Okay, Rainbow, kinda weird to ask this but can you you find out who Talent, Speed, and Salvage are?" Fluttershy asked.
"Tried, just came up: oedivgnihgual//:ptth ." Rainbow said. "Whatever that means." Rainbow said.
"Who taught you this?" Aria asked.
"My... mom." Rainbow looked down.
Shit, Aria thought, feeling guilty.
* * *
"I've never been to a dance, what's it like?" Adagio asked as Sunset applied blush to Adagios face.
"Well, I was bad when I went to dances in previous times, so this is like my first time too." Sunset asked. "And the fall formal."
"I want want to ask you something," Adagio looked away. "Do you have a date?"
"I wish." Sunset said. "Nobody will date me."
"Sunset, I'd go with you." Adagio told her.
"I thought we were all going together." Sunset said. "Well Sonata and her-"
"That's not what I mean." Adagio said. She stood up and kissed Sunset without even thinking. Sunset eyes popped wide open.
"Woah!" She dropped the mascara. She looked at Adagio. She looked great with her make up up and purple poofy dress. She smiled. "I'll consider it.".
"Okay." Adagio sat in silince.
* * *
The girls where where all pretty and prepared for for the dance. The girls where excited for both the dance and finding out out who F is. Even better, F didn't even know. Or did they think?
"When is Rainbow Dash gonna call?" Sonata said said as she fixed her dress. "She said it would be done by now. And where is Adagio?"
"I'm calling her. Now." Aria picked the phone up up and dialed the number. Right as she she did that, the phone rang.
"Rainbow?" Aria put the phone on speaker.
"Guys, I know who F is. Come over now!" Rainbow hung up. The eight looked at eachother and got in Sunsets car.
Rainbow, who was alone in her room, in her dress for the dance, looked into her mirror, which was shapped like a lightning bolt, and told herself, "We win."
The hall creaked. Rainbow went downstairs and no checked the door, which was locked. She then went back upstairs to to her room and look at herself in the mirror. The creaking happened again. "Dad?" Rainbow Dash called. No responce.
The door creaked open, and a person with a black hoodie came in. Their orange curly hair, simular to Adagios, was down. The door face wasn't visable. Rainbows eyes came in contact with the knife. The knife F had in their hand.
* * *
"We're there!" Sunset and the girls got out of there car and went to the front door. The front door was unlocked, this this was unusual because Rainbows dad was super cautious about unlocked doors, we to what happened to Rainbow Dash's mom.
"Rainbow?" Sunset entered the house. A disturbing smell filled the air. "Eww." She gagged.
She walked in to the living room. Her heart snapped. She screamed at the the top of her lungs. Blood, so much blood, everywhere. Handprints, puddles, shoemarks.
"Holy sh-" Aria was speechless.
"Rainbow!" Fluttershy yelled as she went upstairs with Sonata. More blood, a more horrid smell. Sonata went into Rainbows bed room, which which had more blood. But not just blood, a lung, all kidney, and a heart. Fluttershy held in her vomit as she cried the other girls names. Sonata began to call 911.
* * *
Many classmates where gathered outside of school. The dazzlings and rainbooms stood before the house which was sectioned with caution tape. Fire trucks, police, all those trucks around the house. Rainbow Dash's dad was questioning the police about what happened. The Ten girl were hugging eachother, crying, hoping it was all a dream. But it wasn't.
Shineing Armor, the leader of the police department walked outside their friends home. News cameras and many people surrounded him. He spoke "A body was not found, but there was alot a lot of blood and various organs were found in the house, including a heart. The investigation is still continueing. But, as tragic as it is, Rainbow Dash was murdered."
Rainbows dad started crying. So did the rainbooms and dazzlings. Ring ring. Sunset couldn't even bare to look at look at her phone. But she did. "Smart to leave her alone. R.I.P. Rainbow. -F" Sunset read.
Speed stood near near the garadge, watching the house the house be cleaned of blood. Tears formed formed in Speeds eyes. Trying to hold tears, Speed felt a warm hand on there sholder. Speed turned around to see Talent and Salvage, they told Speed it was okay, and not there fault.
"It's not your fault," Speeds edited changed voice anwsered. "It's mine."
2 months after Rainbow Dash was murderered...
Sunset Shimmer sat on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. Her eyes where full of tears and her nose was stuffy. She missed Rainbow Dash. She was scared what else F would do. She didn't know what else she could do. She got up and grabbed her phone. Nobody had texted her, called her, even talked to her. Everyone was staying away, for saftey, from eachother until the funeral.
The funeral, they still didn't find a body. Rainbow Dash's house was clean and her dad was preparing a funeral. It would be hard without a body. This made the dazzlings determine to find it, which is what they where doing as Sunset turned her phone of and put it in her pocket. She grabbed her jacket and decided to go to the dazzlings house.
* * *
"Hey," she said as she walked in.
Aria turned around with a surprised look. "I thought we weren't seeing each other until the funeral."
"What's F going to do?" Sunset told her.
"Kill us." Aria mumbled. "I need to day something to you but you can't tell anyone."
"Okay, what is it." Sunset said in an uncomfortable position. She had just walked in from not seeing her friend in a month and a half and she was going to tell her a secret.
Aria looked around. "This is horrible to say, but, I think Adagio killed... Rainbow."
Smack! Sunset slapped Aria in the face. "Have you lost you mind?"
"You said it for yourself, you thought Adagio was F, and think about it," Aria stood up. "Adagio wasn't here. Where was she?" Sunset looked down. "Also, she's probably still mad about the pendents. And, if Rainbow did find out who F was, Adagio, if she is F, would have been exposed." Tears where forming in Sunsets eyes.
"SHE'S YOUR SISTER!" Sunset yelled, now crying.
"AND SHE'S YOUR FRIEND!" Now Aria was crying. "I don't want to believe it for myself but sometimes reality isn't good."
"Adagios... F?" A little chocked up voice cried. It was Sonata.
"We don't know." Aria cried. She grabbed her purse. "I'm leaving." She grabbed her keys.
"Were are you going?" Sunset crossed her arms.
"To visit Scootaloo," Aria said. "A thirteen year old who doesn't have to deal with all this bullshit!" She slammed the door. Sunset stood there in shock.
"She's visiting Scootaloo," Sonata sat down, "sence Rainbow is gone only her Aunt visits. And Arias trying to be nice."
"Sonata, are you okay? You look, sick." Sunset said.
"Oh, it's nothing, just tierd." She wrapped herself in a blanket.
* * *
"Do you think they'll get mad where hanging out?" Fluttershy asked Rarity.
"No, but I need to talk to Applejack, so let's head to her place." Rarity said.
"Do you think she'll anwser?" Fluttershy said as the two girls walked down the side walk.
"Nope, but I'll get Applejack to come out with and Apple Pie Frappuccino." Rarity shaked the drink she got for AJ.
"Who do you think killed her?" Fluttershy took a bite of her cake pop.
"F." Rarity said. "Well, if you mean by name darling I have no idea."
"What if F strikes again and-"
"You have way to many questions darling. We're there!" Rarity walked up to AJ's front door and knock. Applebloom opened immediately.
"She says that she can't talk now." She read of a paper. Her eyes then landed on the frappuccino. "I'll take that," she took frap, "She's upstairs." Applebloom left.
"Did she just take my frappuccino?" Rarity asked in disbelief. Fluttershy nodded.
The two went upstairs Applejack room. Applejack looked at her friends in disbelief.
"Wow, I'm so glad y'all came." Applejack smiled. "It's been so long, how's life been?"
"Good." Rarity crossed her arms, "Also, teach Applebloom manners. I brought you a frap and she took it."
"Well, she likes sweet stuff." Applejack sighed. "Like Rainbow."
"I can't believe she's gone." Fluttershy said as her eyes teared up. "It's so sad!"
"Did the dazzlings find anything?" Applejack asked.
"Haven't seen them, probaly busy." Rarity said. "Why did you tell Applebloom to say that you can't talk now?"
"I didn't." Applejack said.
* * *
"Did you find anything?" Adagio asked Pinkie. The two girls where in Rainbows house, looking for missed evidence.
"Nope." She said digging threw books.
"Ugh, did her dad not but cameras up?" Adagio put her hands on her head.
"Guess not. Ohh! Rainbow Dash has a Little Ms. Melody Massey!" Pinkie cheered as she grabbed the little doll. She hugged it.
"Pinkie, cmon! Put that down!" Adagio yelled as she grabbed it out of her hand and put it back.
"But I want it!" Pinkie pouted.
Adagio sighed. "And I want to find out who killed my friend. Now cmon."
Pinkie pie didn't listen. She picked the doll right back up again.
"Um... Adagio?" Pinkie nervously said. Adagio turned to see Pinkie had the doll in her hand.
"Put it down!" She yelled.
"That's is a weird looking eye." Pinkie said. Adagio walked over and took the doll. The right eye was not and eye ball. Adagio knew exactly what it was.
"That's not an eyeball." Adagio said. "It's a camera!"
Ring ring. Adagio and Pinkie ripped there phones out. "Knew that you would find it. -Speed. " Adagio read outloud as she smiled.
* * *
"Me?" Fluttershy gave her a suprised look. "Why do I tell the police?"
"Not the police, her dad." Adagio said. "Tell him that Rainbow set cameras up after her mom died.''
"But, wouldn't I get arrested?" Fluttershy asked.
"Leave an anonymous note!" Adagio yelled. "Please! For Rainbow.". Fluttershy nodded.
* * *
Ring ring! "Gotta take this." Applejack picked up her phone. Fluttershy and Rarity stood in silince.
"F, I think I know what it stands for." Fluttershy said.
"What?" Rarity asked.
"Friendship, F wants to destroy our friendship." Fluttershy rubbed her eyes. "Why us. I'll never understand that.". Applejack burst threw the door.
"Guys!' She yelled. "They found Rainbows killer!"
* * *
"We found cameras!" Pinkie cheered.
"Yay!" Sonata smiled, "Let's celebrate with tacos!". She looked to Adagio for approval and Adagio nodded. She cheered again.
"Cmon Aria. Lets go." Adagio said. Aria looked down at her coffee cup. She looked rather sad the grumpy. "Hey, what's wrong?" Adagio asked. Aria looked up, she didn't want to keep her secret from her.
"Did you kill Rainbow?" Aria said. Adagio stood is shock, she gave her sister and upset look.
"Ofcorse not! Why would I have?" Adagio promised.
"Where were you?" Aria got up. "Where?"
"Claires, getting lipstick." Adagio said.
"Are you sure?" Aria stood up and threw a hoodie at her. It was a black hoodie. "I found this in your room." Adagio dropped it.
"Aria, please, I'm not..." Adagio ran out the back door to their small backyard. "No no no no..."
"Hands behind your head, now!" Shining Armor stood with a gun along with 8 other officers. Adagio did as told.
"Please, this wasn't me!" She begged. Aria, Sonata, and the incomplete Rainbooms stood behind her.
"Please, Sunset, Rarity." They nodded.
"Not only did you lie to us, but to your own family!" Sunset said. Tears slowly streamed down Adagio Dazzles face, hands still up.
"Adagio Dazzle, you are under arrest for the murder of Rainbow Dash." Shining Armor put handcuffs around her wrist. Adagio gave the eight a deadly stare. Tears still streaming down her face. The last words she told them was "Please."
The eight girls smiled at eachother. They knew they just put F is jail.
* * *
"F is gone. I can't belive is was Adagio." Sunset sighed, thinking about the kiss and how she wanted to say yes so badly. She knew that all though was an act.
"Betrayed by my own sister. Wow." Aria said. "I think she's the worst." She gave Sonata a little soft kick. Sonata laughed.
"Do you think we can still all be friends?" Applejack asked. They all nodded.
"This is a nice carnival. Just feels lonely without Rainbow." Fluttershy said.
"Ya," Pinkie said. "Lookie, a water show!" Pinkie pointed.
The eight went up from to see the lovely water show. It started off beautiful, amazing music, amazing water lights. Splash! A wave of water down poured the eight and many around them.
"What the hell?" Aria yelled. The show continued, the water moving in a very weird way. The lights all soon turned red.
"Um... guys." Sunset pointed to the middle of the water show. The eight looked to see the water clearly spelled out "F".
"Adagio is F, but F is in jail." Applejack said.
"You can't have laptops in jail right?" Sonata asked.
"No," Sunset dropped her popcorn. "Adagio isn't F."
Ring ring! They all grasped there phones.
You all clearly should learn to trust one and other. -F.
Ring ring. Another message.
For realsies? Did you just do that? Nice. -Talent.
"I feel guilty." Sonata said as her, Applejack, Sunset, and Fluttershy waited for Adagio to come out. They where visiting her in jail finally.
"And we dont?" Applejack complaimed.
"This place smells horrible!" Fluttershy yelled, covering her nose. "I hope an animal didn't die."
"Not animals!" Sonata ensured. "Unless that's what they feed Pinkie and Adagio."
"Everybody be quiet!" Sunset yelled. "Everything will be okay." Buzzz a alarm went. "She's coming." Sunset sat down.
"Where's Aria?" Sonata asked as a police officer opened a door. Then lead by a second officer, ca,E Adagio. Her long orange curly hair was striaght, and pulled back into a ponytail. She had no make up on and gave them a tired look. She wore a Navy blue jumpsuit with black combat boots.
The officer handcuffed her to a chair. Then the officers left and shut the door. Adagio smiled.
"Don't say I didn't tell you." She told them. The girls sat in silence.
"You, didn't tell us." Sonata said as she ruined the moment. "You said 'Please'."
"Your an idiot Sonata," Adagio said. "Where's Aria?"
Applejack shrugged. "No idea. But we need to all say, we're sorry Adagio.
"Pinkie told me. I forgive you but I'm still angrey, " Adagio sat up. "I need to talk to Sunset in private.". Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sonata all left the horrible smelling room, only to have Sunset and Adagio.
"Did you know you would end up here?" Sunset asked as she looked around
"I'm an easy target-"
"Yes, Adagio." Sunset leaned in for a a kiss. Adagio leaned away. "We can't kiss, remember the rules." Adagio sadly said.
"Right." Sunset sat down and held Adagios hand. A loud buzz went off. Adagio slipped her and away.
"We can't even hold hands!" Tears formed in Adagios magenta eyes. She slammed her hands on the table. "Why us!" She cried. Sunset felt her eyes burn with tears.
"Because," Sunset began. "We have the magic of Friendship."
* * *
"What are you doing?" Talent gave Speed a disappointed look in her shadow covered eyes.
"Stuff." Speed responded.
"Finding a way to get what's her face out of jail?" Salvage flipped the blonde hair that was on their sholder.
"Adagio." Talent corrected.
"Great." Salvage gave the thumbs up to Talent.
* * *
"Aria, why are you being so grumpy!" Cecelia, the music store owner said cheerfully.
"I'm not touching that piano!" Aria yelled. "Or looking at it." She threw her body away, arms crossed, like a stubborn little girl.
"What's wrong? What you gonna do sprout wings?" Cecelia hip bumped her.
Aria gave her a scared look. "What?" Cecelia shrugged.
"Um, I'm, *cough cough* allergic to wood." Aria lied.
"Then how are you in this building?" Octavia asked from behind the counter, she had been listening the whole time.
"I quit." Aria ran out of the store.
"Great. Now who'll fix pianos?" Cecelia asked.
"Um, that person with the blonde hair and green jacket at the door maybe." Octavia pointed to the person at the door.
* * *
"Your kidding me right?" Adagio asked Aria as she played with her straight hair. "You quit? We made a living off you job!"
"Look I didn't come to jail to visit you for that reason." Aria said, "something odd happened."
"I need a story, Pinkie Pies are about happy and da da da!" Adagio impersonated Pinkie Pie, waving her hands around.
"I went to crystal high to see if that human Twilight was Speed," Aria breathed. ''And the Twilight acted as if we were Besties. And, she asked me to sing, so I played the piano, and- and," Adagio gave her the go-on-now look. "I turned into the Pony siren me. With the ears, wings, and third ponytail.''
Adagio looked at her the busted out in laughter. She had her moment then caught her breath. "Your real funny!" Adagio yelled. Aria gave her a serious look. "Wait, you weren't kidding?" Aria nodded.
"And then I bailed and ran into... me." Aria wiped her nose.
"A mirror?" Adagio asked.
"No, the human me, like Twilight's human counterpart, but, ugh she was like the me that cared about school." Aria put her hand on her forhead. "What if she sent the secret services after me?"
"Aria, she's seventeen, not the president." Adagio said as a buzzer, saying there time was up, went off.
"I'll be okay?" Aria got up. " and you too?"
"Yes," the officer took her away.
* * *
"These cucumbers are amazing Aria!" Sonata ate one.
"There for your eyes. A long with the face cream." Aria tied her hair in a towel as she threw on her pj's. She had green face cream all over her face and cucumbers on her eyes.
"We should do this more." Sunset said.
"We did it with Adagio before This F franchise." Sonata leaned back.
"Yeah, and she has so much hair the towel rips," Aria laughed. Ding dong! The doorbell went.
"I live hear and look normal!" Said the girl who had green all over her face. Aria got up and went downstairs to see who it was.
"Hey what do you want-"
"Oh um hi ma'am," a girl who looked identical to Aria said. It was the one from crystal high. "We were wondering if you'd seen-"
"An orange haired freak, nope out of luck." Aria slammed the door in her face. She locked it and then raced upstairs with worry.
"Who was that?" Sonata asked.
"Sweetie little star." Aria filled with jealously and rage.
Rarity crumbled the slip Applejack gave her. "A singing audituon! I don't sing!", Rarity did sing, but she didn't have any other way to tell her I am not auditioning!
"Dumb shit," Applejack mumbled. "It's for your little sister!"
"Sweetie Belle?" Rarity thought of her sisters and her love to sing.
"Ya, she'd enjoy this right.?" Rarity was silent. "Right?"
"Ugh, if F doesn't ruin this for her-"
"Hey Misty!" Applejack grabbed the babysitter as she walked by.
"Hey." She shyly said.
"You can babysit tonight, right?" Applejack asked.
"Um... no actually." She said as her voice died. "Applejack, I'm sorry, it's not you, but I need to quit."
Applejacks eyes opened. "Why!" She yelled.
"Nothing," and Misty walked away.
Applejack stood there in shock. "Great! She was supposed to babysit Applebloom and Scootaloo!" Applejack kicked the locker.
"Well you could leave them alone-"
"With F around, no buckin' way!" She yelled as she stomped down the hall, sneezing.
* * *
"Ugh, Applebloom, where's the dog!" Applejack put her tierd head on the table.
"Outside!" Applebloom yelled from her bedroom.
"Why are you so sad?" Sunset asked as she stirred her hot cocoa.
"Cuz' *sneeze* I'm sick and feel like horse poop." Applejack sneezed again. She grabbed a tissue and whipped her nose.
"And thank you so much for giving it go me." Aria said as she furiously blew her nose. "Now I need to trust Sonata to deliver me messages from Adagio." Aria wiped her teary, sick eyes.
Woof woof! Applejacks dog gave a sad sounding weep from the backyard. Applejack grabbed her blue fuzzy rode and got up. She looked at the little window that showed her the backyard. She didn't see her dog. She yelled Aria and Sunsets name as she went outside into the cold.
"Here, here dog!" Aria called, not having any pet so not knowing what to do in this situation.
"Here girl!" Applejack called very loudly. The dog started whimpering, leading the girls into the apple forest. The apple forest was very shaded from the trees. It was hard for them to see. They soon found AJ'S dog wipering next to something she found.
"What is it girl-"
Aria let out a fearful shriek as her eyes popped open and she stepped back. Sunset yelled and hugged Aria, turning away. Sunset began to sob.
Confused, AJ, moved her dog and sare what she had dug up. It was a boney hand.
* * *
The police came and investigated what the had found Rainbows decaying body. Applejack stood in shock. Applebloom had shown a very scared but not too sad look.
"You two best be leaving." Applejack told her friends.
''Sounds like a plan." Aria told her. "Call me if you need anything. It's unlikely I'll be sleeping."
"Granny's on her way back." Big Mac told her. AJ nodded.
Sunset and Aria left. Applejack, Applebloom, and Big Mac sat on the patio. Applebloom kicked rocks around into puddles as her older siblings sat and worried.
"How is it possible?" Applejack asked.
"I guess I was wrong about the dazzlings," Applebloom wiped a tear away. "Happy? You were right. Like aways."
"I'm not always right,'' Applejack put a hand on her sisters sholder. ''your amazing. You can be anything you want Applebloom.". Applebloom smiled. She walked to the side walk and sat on the street cornor. Her siblings followed.
"Atleast we found it now." Applejack said optimistly.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said. Crack, crack, crunch, shatter! Loud noises where heard outside. The three siblings got up. Color drained from Applejacks face. She knew F was there.
"Who was that?" Applebloom asked.
"Nobody," Applejack tried to get a good look from a 30 feet distance of her house.
Bam! Applejack flew back as her siblings and herself fell back. Applejack watched as her house blew up and went into flams. Shrieks where heard in the distance. The three sat there for a moment, shock, there home gone.
"Winona!" Applebloom yelled as she ran into the flames.
"Applebloom!" Big Mac ran into the burning house after her.
Ring ring! Applejack ripped her phone out and looked at the message.
"Burn bitch. -F." Applebloom read aloud to herself.
* * *
"A singing audituon!" Sweetie threw the paper to the floor. "No way! Not with school and everything else."
"Cmon, your drop dead amazing. And plus, you said your great yourself one time." Rarity told her sister.
"No, the only good thing in good at is remembering a first aid kit," Sweetie yelled. "And also, your phone is ringing." She pointed to her phone.
"It's AJ," Rarity said. "Please, consider it. Hello?" Applejack was heard freaking out in the other line. Sweetie Belle stood in confusion.
"Get in the car." Rarity demanded.
"But I'm in my PJ's!" Sweetie complained.
"Your friend needs us! I'm to the car!" The two raced downstairs.
* * *
"The house is gone?" Adagio asked. Sunset, Aria, and Rarity came and visited Adagio and Pinkie.
"Little bits of remaining." Rarity corrected.
"So where is she living?" Pinkie asked, stretching her tired arms.
"Manhattan, for about a week. With Babs Seeds or whatever her name is." Aria told them.
"I wish I could go there," Rarity said as she leaned put her head in her hand and went into day dream mode. Aria hit her in the arm. "Quite it."
"So, this happened when?" Adagio asked again, scratching her now partly curly hair.
"Four days ago." Sunset said, finally speaking.
"So when will AJ be back?" Pinkie asked.
"Um.... a week at the most-"
Adagio shrieked, standing up out of her chair which was hard because she was handcuffed to it.
"What's wrong?" Aria asked in a rush to help her sister.
"Your necklace," she pointed to it. "It has a pendent!''
Aria, in shock, though her sister was kidding, but was wrong. She looked down at her necklace. She was right. The what was supposed to be a bare black rope had a red pendent right where it use to be, before the rainbooms had shattered.
"How is that even possible?" Rarity asked. "And how did we not notice?"
"Did you go threw the portal?" Sunset asked. Aria ignored the questions, she grabbed her bag and left the jail. She wasn't even paying attention to the road, just wiping tears away.
Sonata, a very fast runner, ran after her sister. She ran out into the street in front of her sister driving.
"Aria stop!" Sonata demanded. Aria was to busy wiping her tears away, she didn't even see her sister. She kept driving until a huge bam was heard at the beginning of the car. Aria instantly stopped the car. She got out and ran to the front. Tears formed in her eyes. She covered her mouth.
"No, no please no!" She begged.
She ran her own sister over.
"No, no, no, no! Please! Someone call 911!" Aria yelled at the top of her lungs. She sare nobody was, so she did it herself.
"Hello?" She cried into her phone. "We need help! Please hurry!"
* * *
Applejack sat down in her bed. It was 9:00 pm. He wasn't tierd at all though. She was upset. Her home was gone. She had gotten a hold of most of her valuable items, but lost many as well, like a painting of her whole family, before Applebloom was born. She had gotten a picture of her parents. She held it in her hand as tears flowed down her cheek.
"Oh how I wish you where here." Applejack told herself.
She turned the lights out, being the last on in the house. She tucked herself in and looked up at the ceiling. "I wish you where here to Rainbow Dash."
Applejack turned onto her side, looking at the door.She began to shut her sleepy eyes. Then, Clang clang, clang.
Applejack sat up to the noise. "Hello?" She called. Nobody responded. She closed her eyes trying to ignore the noise, bit it began to happen repeatedly. She got up and grabbed a baseball bat, and went downstairs.
"Hello?" She called as a round of thunder banged the house. The house shook along with Applejacks house.
Lightning flashed. Applejack sare a shadow. She gripped the bat hard in her hand. "Who is that!"
No responce, this didn't suprise Applejack. The flash lasted a little longer. Longer enough to relize who this was. It was Salvage.
"Salvage," Applejack called, "can you, um, please leave and let me-"
Someone covered Applejacks mouth and began to suffocate her. She tried calling for help, bit this person was to strong. She sare they had black gloves on. It was F.
Salvage went into immediate action, grabbing multiple knifes and putting them into there pockets. He or she ran to a hidden distance and began to throw. The knifes caused F to move Applejack over to the cornor. Applejack looked at her bat, it was to far. The knifes stopped flying. Now there were a few scattered on the ground. A shadow covered smirk covered F's face, as he or she grabbed one of the knifes thrown by Salvage.
F put the knife to Applejacks neck. Applejacks started crying and begging for help, but nobody could hear because her mouth was covered. Salvage ran over and kicked F in the face. F stumbled back as Salvage threw another knife at F. F caught it, and tried to then stab Salvage.
Salvage forcefully kicked F in the stomach, and flipped him or her onto his or her back. Applejack slowly fell asleep in the little cornor, not remembering the rest of the fight.
* * *
Aria panted back and forth in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor to come out and hopefully say she was okay. Aria bit her nails, wipped her tears, blew her nose, the started biting her nails again.
"I'm a horrible person." Aria tried to rip the pendent off. "I should just leave." That's what she did. She wouldn't drive, she just walked up to the school. She looked at the portal.
What if I went threw the portal? I could start a new life... Aria shaked that thought out of her head.
"Princess Celestia," Aria looked at the portal. "I know I got the pendent when I played the piano, but, I'm willing to give up my pendent, just for my sisters, Sonata to be okay, and Adagio to be not guilty. I promise, I will never use other people for biding-"
"Are you talking to yourself?" Soarin asked, who was walking by.
"Shut up!" She raged. Soarin walked away. "Anyway," she continued, "I will never use other people for my biding or power. And I won't use people for my own needs. This pendent doesn't even mean anything. But my sisters mean the world to me. So Celestia, please, just give me one chance! I promise you wouldn't be disappointed!" Aria looked at her reflection, hoping she would get a response. Nothing. No anwser. She sighed deeply, reaching to tug on the red jewel that killed her inside. But to her luck, it was gone. She looked at the portal. It had a message.
"Sisters stay threw everything together, -Princess Celestia." the message read. Aria smiled, as tears flowed down her cheek. Tears of happiness. The message faded away and was replaced with a new one. Arias tears soon became hate tears. "Sisters before misters. Or no? -F."
* * *
"She's okay!" Aria smiled at the doctor.
"A broken arm and a few bruises, other words she's good. But, I'd like to keep her overnight." The doctor told her.
"Can I see her?" Aria asked.
"In a few," the doctor walked into the hospital room that had Sonata.
"Where's my sister?" Sonata asked. "And friends?"
"Outside, but Sonata, I'm afraid your case is worst then I though." The doctor watched Sonatas smile fade.
"Huh?" She said confused.
"You see, there seems to be a problem with your heart," the doctor said. "And you may need a new one. I trust you to tell you sister that," Sonata nodded, "and you will need to comeback soon."
"Oh, um, yes sir. I'll be back, soon after I leave." Sonata said.
"I'll get your sister," the doctor left the room. Seconds after, Aria busted into the room.
"I'm so so so so sorry Sonata!" Aria cried embracing Sonata in a hug. Sonata instantly noticed the pendent.
"Where is it?" Sonata asked, pointing to the missing jewel.
"I gave it up for you and Adagio," Aria told her. "I'll love you sis,"
"I'll love you too, sis." They hugged again.
"What did the doctor say." Aria asked, adjusting her sisters floppy ponytail.
Sonata didn't know what to tell her. Aria never had been this nice to her, giving up her pendent for her. She didn't want to rain on her parade. Especially now.
"He said I'm 100% okay!" She lied.
Siren Songs, Sibling Lullabys
"Aria, is my mascara everywhere?" Sonata asked after the girls left the funeral . Rainbows funeral finally happened, dew to have found the body a week ago.
"No." Aria said tucking at her uncomfortable dress.
"I can't belive she's really gone.'' Rarity said, wiping her tears.
"Who can." Applejack said. "And who knows who's next."
Fluttershy bit her lip. "I can't bare to lose another one of us!"
"Well, we're putting all our trust on Speed, Talent, and Salvage." Sunset said. "It could be one of us, two, or even all of us."
"Yeah all we know Speed could be a dog." Aria joked sadly. "I'm gonna go talk to Scootaloo. See if she'll bare me."
"Luck." Sonata said.
"Sonata, anything wrong besides well, Rainbow?" Sunset asked.
"Oh, um, no." Sonata lied, thinking about the heart problem. "My arm. Hurts. My arm hurts."
"I got your meds," Applejack offered.
"Oh no please," Sonata held her hand out. "I'm good."
"Owh! You fucking stubborn kid!" Aria yelled. All eyes went to Scootaloo, eyes filled with tears, walking away.
"What happened?" Fluttershy asked.
"Little bastard and friends said I helped murder RD and should go to prison." Aria said. "Then little miss Scootaloo steps on my foot. And holy shiz she's strong." Aria grabbed her foot. They watched as Applebloom turned around and stuck the finger in the air.
"Right back at you kid!" Aria yelled to her.
* * *
"Hey Misty." Applejack said as she went into the girls bathroom.
"Hey." She shyly said. "I gotta go-"
"Why did you quit?" Applejack blocked the door. "Why? I know you and Big Mac use to date and you broke up recently but-"
"That's not it." Misty began to cry. "That's what I tell everyone because I'm to scared of the truth."
"What's the truth?" Applejack put her hand on the door. Misty looked at the door and then Applejack. The she kept her eyes on the door.
"Sugar cube," Applejack moved Misty face. "Eyes are up here."
"It was, it was," Misty stuttered.
"Spit it out." Applejack kindly demanded.
"Your little sister." Misty said.
* * *
Sonata sat on the couch and looked up at the ceiling. Maybe it's time I tell her, Sonata thought. No, I can't. But what if things get worst then I'll have to tell her. ,maybe I should tell Adagio. Ugh no, she'll tell Aria. Pinkie? She's not element of loyalty, but she's loyal. Ya, I'll tell her. Good to tell someone right?
Sonata tried to get up, but she just fell back. I'm really tierd. I'll take a nap. Now, where's my teddy bear?
* * *
"Applebloom?" Applejack asked confused. "What about her?"
"I've said to much." She grabbed the knob. Applejack recovered it.
"You've said to little." Applejack told her.
"I don't want her to hurt me. Or you. Or anyone."
"For Petes sake she said the dress was blue and gold, she's not gonna hurt ya."
"She hurt Rainbow." She yelled. Applejack was silent.
"What do you mean?"
"The night, I came to babysit, the day after Rainbow died," Misty said. "Applebloom thought her door was locked, but it wasn't. I opened the door and sare her chatting on the phone. She told whoever she was talking to 'We need to chat more on the phone, Babs, maybe I should head over soon.'. That's when she hung up and held up the dress. The dress Rainbow said the was going to wear to the dance. She had been putting blood on it. Not Rainbows blood, Adagios. As soon as she heard me, she looked at the door with a mean look. I went downstairs and acted like it never happened, but, but..." Misty began crying.
"Misty, why didn't you tell us?" Applejack asked putting a hand on her sholder.
"Because. I was scared," Misty said, touching her purple hair. "I need to leave, I'm already late." And she left.
She can't be, Applejack thought. Applebloom is F?
* * *
"Appleblooms F?" Aria whispered. "What? That's crap. She's like, a foot tall."
"Yeah, so?" Applejack said, "She has been acting a little suspicious. Like after F attacked me in Manhattan, she asked me the next morning 'Hey, did ya sleep well?'."
"Okay that," Rarity stabbed her salad, "that is paranoid."
"What's paranoid?" Applebloom asked as she walked over to the girls lunch table. The girls all went silent.
"School." Rarity lied.
"I just wanted to tell Aria I'm sorry for acting like a jackass." Applebloom apologized. "At the funeral."
"It's okay, you were mad." Aria didn't mean that.
"And sis, I need help!" Applebloom yelled.
You got that right. Applejack thought. "What's wrong?"
"I'm scared of heights, and on Monday, we're going on a field trip to the," she gulped. "The rainbow ropes." Applebloom looked down.
"Isn't that a 24 foot high rope obstacle corse?" Fluttershy asked. Applebloom nodded.
"I'd be happy to do some mini training on you." Aria offered.
"Really?" Applebloom smiled, " Thanks Aria!"
Applebloom skipped away. "Why'd you do that?" Sunset asked.
"To get information out of her. Duh!" Aria ripped her grilled cheese in half.
* * *
This isn't prison. I know it. I smell Rainbow Dash, I smell blood.
Jail sweet jail, Dagi. -F.
"Pinkie?" Adagio called, banging on the walls of her jail cell. "Hello?"
She stood up and went to the bars. She began to beat on the, calling for help.
"Someone's here! I know it! Shining Armor? Cadence?" Adagios voice died. "F?"
Adagios eardrums bounced as she heard shattering from down the hall.
"Help!" She said as she began to cry. "Aria! Sonata! Sunset!" She sobbed.
She sank down to the floor still sobbing she knew she had been kidnapped by F while she was sleeping.
She'd never been more scared, she wanted her friends and her sisters. She wanted to go back in time and change everything. Her faith, her sisters faith, her friends faith, Speed, Talent, and Salvage faith. One mistake, created all of this.
Adagio loved singing when she was able to. When she had the pendent. It made her happy. What we were still in equestria. How would our lives, their lives be diffrent? Adagio let these thoughts bubble in her mind. Until she couldn't take it anymore. She knew she would sound horrible, but the lyrics of the equestria lullaby made her heart smile. The equestrian lullaby was made while the sirens where in equestria.
"Night has come now, Celestias sun is gone.
The sun will return tommorow, soon after dawn.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides."
Adagio wiped her tears away.
"From Ponyvillie, to Canterlot, to the end of the horizon,
You won't be alone.
Equestria is your home, your own lovely zone.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides."
Adagio remembered her, Aria, and Sonata playing around a bunch of mountains in Equestria. Aria pushed Sonata into the ocean, it was fun.
"Memories, will never leave your mind,
Some may be blurry, but all will contain love.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides
You'll never lose your guide."
"That, that is high!" Aria gulped as she looked at the Rainbow Ropes. A soaring 24 feet above the ground. She turned around and looked at Applejack and Rarity as the lady adjusted Applebloom and her own harness.
"Sure ya wanna do this?" Applebloom asked, taking off the second helmet Applejack had put on her head.
"Yeah! I live for danger!" Aria lied. In honest matters, she was very scared or heights.
"Okay," Applebloom went onto the stair case that lead to the Rainbow Ropes corse. Aria looked back at her friends once more and then followed her.
As soon as they where at the obstacle corse, 24 feet above the ground, the two looked at the corse. Applebloom began to hug the pole in the middle of the little circle of metal. Aria sighed. She jumped, but her harness made her float a few inches of the ground. Applebloom looked at Aria, then let go of the pole, her legs shaking a little.
"It's okay Applebloom!" Aria assured her as she returned to her seat, even though inside she knew she was either going to faint or puke.
Aria began to go on the first rope course, which was basically walking on a little bridge. She just ran across it, wanting to get it over with. As soon as she finished running across it, she turned around to see Applebloom, who was big eyed looking at the rest of the course.
"I can't," she told Aria. "I just can't."
"We all need to face are fears," Aria said. "As soon as you do it, it will be the easiest funnest thing probaly ever.". Aria was starting to feel a little better and a little unafraid, but that didnt change her feel for heighs, she still hated highs.
Applebloom looked at her and slowly crossed the brige, and as soon as she was on the same circle as Aria. Applebloom instantly hugged the pole again. "Didn't work." Applebloom said in dissapointment.
"Sugarcube! Let go of the pole!" Applejack called from the floor.
"I'm trying!" Aria called back down to her.
"I think that response was for me to say." Applebloom told her.
"Well, then you very welcome." Aria told her, beginning the course that was just one rope and you depended on harness to not fall. Aria took a deep breathe and went.
Aria was going very slowly, only 2 feet away from the circle she was just on. She turned over and looked at Applebloom, hugging the pole. She heard Applejack sigh from all the way up there. "Cmon-"
Snap! Bang! Aria shrieked as the rope and the harness let go. She fell of the obstacle corse, down about 4 feet. Her closed eyes opened when she relized she had been caught. She looked up and sare Applebloom, hanging by only her harness, both feet on the circle, grabbing Arias arm with her two hands. She gave Aria a supportive it's okay I got ya look.
Applebloom tugged her up, honestly being very strong. She gave Applebloom a angrey frightful stare, she knew she had done this to her.
"Are you okay?" Applebloom asked handing her a bandage for the rope burn/ cut from harness that had cut threw her jeans.
"No!" Aria yelled, moving away from Applebloom. "I rather jump then take that bandage from you! Stay away from me."
Aria crawled her way to the staircase, where she was tooken by a man down to the first aid office. A man walked over to Applebloom, still sitting there giving her a discusted look. She knew exactly why Aria had done this. Anwsers. Bitch will get what she deserves Applebloom thought to herself.
"Are you okay?" The man asked her.
Applebloom put a hand up and a fake smile on. "I'm fine, thank you though."
Minutes later, Aria Blaze came back from the first aid of the Rainbow Ropes, she hugged her friends and began to cry.
"She's F," Aria cried, "I know it.".
Applejack looked at her sister. She had her phone out and was texting someone. Applejack ripped her phone out and waited until Applebloom put her phone away. She did and then gave the three and evil glance and walked away.
Ring ring! Applejack looked at her phone. Applebloom had just sent a message, she had just received a message. So did Rarity and Aria. Aria read the message loud and clear.
"Watch your mouth, the rope didn't snap for a reason. -F." Aria took her phone and threw it in her pocket. She sat on a bench and cupped her face in her hands. She began to cry. Rarity began to cry as well. Applejack looked down and cried on the inside.
Ring ring ring ring, Aria took her phone out. Sonata Dusk, or 'The taco monkey' according to Arias phone, was calling.
"Hey sis, just had a rough day, I'll be home in-"
"Aria," Sonata sobbed threw the phone. "Come now, please!"
* * *
"Sonata, Sonata, what happened?" Aria asked running over to her sister. Sonata hugged her instantly crying. The police station was surrounded with no entry tape. All the jail mates where being put in a truck. Arias glance caught Pinkies, her eyes where filled with tears.
"Sunset, Fluttershy! What's happening?" Aria ran over to her two sobbing friends, along with Sonata.
Shining Armor came out of the police station. News reporters barreled him with questions. He silince them all.
"Simular to Rainbow Dash's murder, no body was found." Shining Armor said. "But there was more then enough blood that the victim could not have survived." Sonata hugged Aria. A police man came over and put a hand on Arias sholder. What's happening? She though. "Also, a heart was found next to the murder weapon, which as shiney blade. People of this city, as of November 14th, Adagio Dazzle was murdered."
"No!" Aria cried at the top of her lungs. "No!" She sobbed into her sisters arms. The six hugged eachother and cried over their friends murder.
* * *
Thanksgiving was in less then a week, and half of the towns decorations for Christmas where up. F parked the car, and walked over to Applejacks house. F took a little Candy cane from the decorations and took it back to there car. F opened the trunk and put the decoration in the trunk. The trunk that had Adagio Dazzles dead, decaying body.
F shut the trunk with a slam and got into there car. They shut the door with a slam and bucked there seat belt. There cell phone vibrated and they grabbed it. The lowered there hoodie a little and read the message.
"I will find you," it read, "and I will kill you. -Speed."
(In Equestria at Twilight's castle:)
The whole castle was sound asleep. The few guards even. The castle was protected though, nopony entered or left. Twilight rolled over in her bed, snoring very loudly. Spike was sleeping in his little room very close to that same room. Everyplace was cautioned, but not the mirror, the mirror that led to the human world.
A pony with a black hoodie, a pony with a a white cloak, and a pony with a green coat and blonde mane entered threw the portal. It was Speed, Talent, and Salvage. The broke up, looking for one thing they needed. The jewel of good hope. It was a purple flower shaped jewel that if broken, the owner would be "put to rest.". Twilight guarded it with her life.
Talent and Speed went into Twilight Sparkles room, and instantly put their eyes on the gem. Speed pointed at the gem. Very carefully, Talent levitate it over Twilight, over the floor, and into Speeds bag with her unicorn powers that she new very little how to use. Speed closed the bag and began to head to the portal. They met Salvage in the hall, annoyed at having to look everywhere even though Speed knew where the jet was the while time. "Really?" Salvage complained.
"The jem! It's gone!" The three heard Twilight yell. She ran out of the room and sare the three ponies. "Them! They've stolen the jem!"
Speed, Talent and Salvage ran for there lives. Salvage and Talent jumped threw the portal with no trouble. But Speed wasn't so lucky. Spike had grabbed onto Speeds black hoodie and tried to hold her back. Speed took a chance knowing that Talent and Salvage where at the other side. Speed threw the jem into the portal and hoped it wasn't broken.
"It's in the human world!" Spike yelled as he ripped Speeds cloak off. He gasped as he said Speeds true identity outloud. "Your from the human world! Why would you do this!?"
Speed took her/his back legs and bucked him right in the head. He went barreling back into the wall. He was knocked unconscious, forgetting Speeds identity. The mane six where to late and they knew that. They ran with all there power as Speed yelled, "Peace out suckers!" and jumped threw the portal.
* * *
The gem of good hope? It's gone? Sunset wrote in her book to Twilight.
Yes, Twilight replied. Some ponies from the human world stole it. Spike can't remember the leaders identity or what the three all looked like in their outfits. The leader knocked him unconscious. One had a black hoodie, another a white cloak, and the third a green coat. Please Sunset, please keep a good eye out for this person and come back with the person as soon as you find them.
Sunset slammed her book closed. "How could they do something like this? I thought they where helping?"
"What's the gem of good hope?" Applejack asked.
"A gem. Of good hope." Sonata smiled. Applejack gave her an annoyed look. "A blue flower gem. Happy Ms. Poopy pants?" Sonata crossed her arms like a child.
"Poopy pants?" Spitfire joked as she walked by with Soarin and Fleetfoot. She ripped her shades off. "Your such a child."
"Thanks!" Sonata said, as if Spitfire had complimented her. But she really hadn't, she was being rude to her.
"That wasn't a compliment." Lightning Dust, another star athlete said as she walked next to Spitfire. Aria, who had been ignoring this whole conversation, looked up at Spitifire, being all friendly with the girl she had kicked off the team right before Rainbow was killed.
"Really?" Aria questioned. She got up and walked over to Spitfire and Lighting Dust. "Sense Rainbows gone you replaced your star played with this pile of trash!" Aria tapped on Lightning Dusts sholder. Then she looked at Spitfire. "No wonder your parents named you Spit- fire." Aria said as she spit on Spitfire boots. Spitfire looked at her in discust.
"Now leave my sister alone." Aria walked over to Sonata.
"Now leave my friend alone!" Soarin said as he hit her across the face. Aria stumbled back into the lockers. She felt her cheek. Blood. She looked at Soarin, crossing his arms like he had told her off. For Adagio, Aria thought.
Aria ran up to Soarin and jumped on his back, and started hitting him in the face and jaw. Soarin said a few cuss words and began to loose balance, stumbling into lockers, and almost people. It took Principle Celestia to finally notice and grab Aria off his back.
"You two, office! Now!" She yelled. The two went there. Spitfire fire then walked over to Sunset and the other girls. "You know Arias strong," Spitfire told her, "you should make her try out for the soccer team-"
Fluttershy slammed her locker shut with a bam. "Or how about you go fuck yourself." Fluttershy said as she walked away.
* * *
"What was that?" Rarity asked Fluttershy. "Saying that to Spitfire is so... unlike you!"
"I have no idea what happened, it was like, I sare Rainbows life for a moment, like I was in her shoes," Fluttershy grabbed Angel. " and that's what she would say."
"Did you see Adagio?" Sunset asked Aria, who had an ice pack on her nose. She looked down knowing what a dumb question that was.
"Yes, actually, same as Fluttershy, Adagios shoes. Even though I though she was mature." Aria slumped onto the couch. Sunset sat silent, looking sadly at the wall.
"You liked eachother didn't you." Applejack said, not as a question.
"Yes. I wish I could say one more thing to her. That I miss her and love her." Sunset sat down. She felt her phone vibrate in her jacket. She picked it up and sare as it was 3 messages.
" Friendship, smarts, portal. -Salvage.
Aria, Sonata, Sunset. -Talent.
Follow this GPS to uncover F's real identity. (Link) -Speed. "
"Huh?" Rarity said looking at the message.
"Fuck this!" Aria cried in shock.
"Aria, Sonata, Sunset?" Applejack asked. "Does this mean only you 3 can do this?"
"I think so, because this 'GPS' is inside the statue. And now, it's shooting across space and now,where is it?"Sunset question grabbing AJ'S phone she zoned out on the location." Sunset looked up in shock. "It's in Equestria. F is from Equestria."
"Does this mean Speed, Talent, and are?" Rarity asked. Ring ring, Rarity ripped her phone out. "No. -Talent. Okay...." She slid it back in her pocket.
"So, Sunset, Aria and Sonata, you guys must go threw the portal and finger where-"
"No! No! No! No! No! No!" Aria yelled standing up. She threw the ice pack she had at the wall. "I am so done with F, and Speed, and Talent and that third blonde!"
"Salvage." Sonata corrected.
"They think their helping us! Oh I swear on Celestia they are wrong! Where ever they are hear me when I say we don't need your help! We're fine! We lost two with you!" Aria wipped a tear away. "Don't want to loose the rest! Just leave us alone you annoying people! Or if you even have souls." Aria sat back down.
"Aria, your over reacting-"
"Am I Rarity? Do you agree they're holding us back?" Aria looked at Rarity, putting her on the spot.
"Sometimes." Rarity said honestly. The girls all nodded.
"Well... they did save us-"
"Just delete their text from now on." Aria said as she left Applejacks house. The girls all stood there, wondering if this was good or a mistake. They didn't know it was a mistake because Speed heard all of that and was furious.
Aria walked in the house once more. "You know what, how about we show the principles the messages? Yeah that will show them!" Aria left the house, leaving the girls to think: good or bad?
Talent and Salvage looked up and gave Speed a annoyed, angrey, and tierd look.
"There gonna expose are secrets and not listen to our help," Speed said, "then we'll expose their secrets they don't even know about eachother. And we'll show them what soulless is."
Speed, Talent and Salvage laughed very quitely. Speed took the gem of good hope out and dropped it to the ground, the shattering being silent.
"Sleep tight Sparkle, -Speed.' Speed laughed.
"Why is everyone looking at me so weirdly?" Sonata asked Rarity as they walked
threw the hall of Canterlot high.
"Beats me." Rarity said opening her locker.
"Is it contagious?" A student asked Sonata as her walked by.
"Huh?" Sonata asked in confusion. Aria walked up to her sister, tears in eyes.
"Is it true?" Aria said, in anger.
"What?" Sonata asked.
"How long where you gonna keep your heart problem from me?" Aria said.
"How do you know? Lookie, I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you but... How'd you find out?"
"It's on mystable." Aria held up her phone and showed her the psot.
Everyone calls Sonata the stupid one. But did you know she's keeping a real huge secret from her only sister? She has a real bad heart problem that's only getting worst? Here's a file proving it:
"How'd someone get that? Who?" Sonata ripped the phone out of Arias hand. She clicked and clicked and then let out a scream.
"What's wrong?" Asked Rarity. She and Aria looked at profile pic, then the name, then the day posted.
Posted: Last Night.
By: Adagio Dazzle.
* * *
"That's impossible! Adagios dead! And this was posted last night! She was murdered a month ago" Sunset pasted back in forth in the locker room.
"Well, we didn't find her body..." Applejacks comment faded as her voice did the same.
"Then we did find a heart!" Sunset concluded.
"How bout' you find one, fuckin' crazy." Applejack stood up and crossed her arms.
"What did I do!" Sunset yelled in defence.
"Look what was posted as well," Applejack held her phone up. Is this a body I see bacon hair burrying? There was a picture showing a girl with Sunsets hair burying Adagios body. Sunset eyes filled with tears, she knew now she's really gone.
"Quick! Delete it!" Sunset yelled. Applejack did as told.
"That's not me I swear!" Sunset promised.
"Why weren't you at the Rainbow Ropes?" Applejack questioned.
"Why are we talking about me what about Applebloom she's F!" Sunset started sweating, freaking out, and lying.
"What bout' me?" Applebloom asked stopping by. Sunset began to look like she was gonna faint.
"Tutoring with Aria, she can't tonight." Sonata said. Aria gave a sorry look. Applebloom nodded and walked away.
"Close call idiot!" Aria yelled.
"Look what's happening to us! The magic of Friendship is gone!" Fluttershy yelled.
"I ran into Sonatas human counterpart who had a brain and I'm freaking out! Really really bad okay!" Sunset sat down. "She got scared of me."
"I sare mine to. And I turned into the Pony siren thing. And that's how I got my pendent. Then I gave it up for Adagio and Sonata because a stupid wish that didnt even work." Aria kicked the bench. "Infront of human Twilight and she though I was human Twilight."
"So we're all stressed. I get it." Rarity sat down. "But we'll always have eachother." They grouped hugged.
"Aria, what you wish for?" Sunset asked. "What you say you'd stop doing?"
"Using people for myself." Aria anwsered looking at her nails.
"Aria, you mad that wish before the rainbow ropes?" Applejack asked with worry.
"Ya, why?" Aria clearly didn't care.
"The wish is broken once you break you promise," Applejack said, color drained from face. "You used Applebloom to get anwsers, not to mention you failed."
Sonata was sick. Adagio had died. She gave up her pendent for them. She broke the promise. They payed.
"No..." Aria cried.
* * *
Wow, Pinkie was dating Sonata and they didn't even say anything!
Aria mad? Aria Blaze talks to herself. Lol!
Wow, Applejack doesn't know how to tie her shoes! Loser! No wonder she wears those boots!
They soon started to appear on Rainbow Dash's forgotten profile.
Look at this paper Sonata failed! F? What a shock?
Look at all the detentions Aria has! Wow!
Rarity has false eyelashes! Lol, they're ugly!
Fluttershy has hair extensions! Lol, who needs that?
"All these secrets, how do they know?" Rarity questioned, adjusting her eyelashes.
Ring ring. The girls grabbed there phones.
"You said we're not helping. So let's change sides. -Speed, Talent, Salvage. Shit! Nice move Aria! Talking smacking!" Sunset said.
"I got a picture of a broken flower jewel. And also, dang!" Aria said as she adjusted her legs on the stairs outside of the school which they sat on. Sunset took her phone.
"That's the gem of good hope! Shattered! Speed took it! And shattered it! Twilight's in danger! I gotta warn her!" Sunset grabbed her jacket and headed towards the portal. She looked back at her friends and then and the portal.
"Aria, your going with me." Sunset demanded.
Aria stood tounge tied. "No! I'm a siren! They'll burn me!"
"You'll be a pony because no pendent. Unless Sonata..." Sonata stepped back. Sunset continued speaking. "Cmon Aria. It's okay."the two jumped threw the portal.
* * *
The two fell onto their four hooves. Sunset stood up, her normal, unicorn pony form. Aria stood, as a pegasus, looking like her human self in many ways.
"I hate you." Aria stated.
"Cool." Sunset said. "Now, let's find Twilight." The two walked in the halls calling names. Nobody responded.
"Pinkie! Rarity!"
"Pony 1! Pony 2?"
"Applejack! Twilight!"
"Fat one! Other fat one!"
"Cut it out." Sunset said.
"I haven't been here forever, I don't remember their names!" Aria complained.
"Me too." Sunset responded. "And plus, the ponies you know have died. Unless..."
"Sunset Shimmer?" Sunset looked up and sare Princess Celestia.
"Princess Celestia! Oh boy it been so long!" Sunset hugged her.
"Why are you here?" She asked. "And who is your friend?" Aria looked down.
"It's for a very short time, just to deliver a message. Somepony in the human world stole the gem of good hope! Where is Princess Twilight?"
"Oh, Sunset." A tear fell from the princesses eyes. She turned around for a moment. That's when Princess Luna arrives.
"My sister is over whelmed because the news," Luna told Sunset.
"What news? Where is Twilight?" Sunset demanded anwsered softly.
"Sunset and... friend," Luna said. " Princess Twilight Sparkle is dead."
Who's the dangerous of them all?
"Dead!" Aria, still as a pony, shouted. "You mean she's on vacation?"
"The gem shattering. This did that. Princess Cel-"
"Sunset, you may barley be my student, or so," Celestia stared. "Take Spike to the human world and find out who stole the gem. Return them here."
"I won't dissapoint you Princess Celestia and Luna!" Sunset said as her and Aria headed towards the portal.
"Wait!" Celestia shouted. The two turned back. "Take Spike. Maybe he can remember." Spike ran down the hall, shouting "Wait for me!"
"Spike!" Sunset smiled. "How's lifeee-" she stopped speaking.
"Um... bad." Spike replied as the three jumped threw the portal.
* * *
"Dead? How?" Rarity questioned.
"She clipped her wing and fell to death." Spike said, chewing on a toy bone Sonata had.
"Sonata, you look pale, are you okay?" Aria asked. Sonata gave her a thumbs up.
"But that's awful." Applejack said. "Really, why would Speed do this?"
"Speed? You know who's doing this?" Spike questioned.
"Speed is what we call the dimwit because there fast." Fluttershy lied, which was new.
"Well, maybe because nut here was talking smack." Sunset pointed to Aria.
"Please. Unless Speed has a temper." Aria sniffed.
"No, really!" Applejack said sarcastically.
"Sonata, you have a fever." Aria said feeling Sonatas forehead. She grabbed Sonata. "We gotta get you to the hospital."
"I'm fine." Sonata said, right as she fainted into Arias arms.
"Get her in my car!" Aria yelled as Sunset, Applejack, and Aria herself got her sister into the car. Rarity and Fluttershy stood there, basically freaking out.
"Get in the other car!" Fluttershy yelled, running to Raritys car.
"Rarity!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Raritys little sisters enemys, walked outside. "Your nodded in the office! Sweeties got her ass in trouble!" The two laughed and walked away.
"But I need to go! Now!" Rarity complained.
"Go, I'll say you had to go to the Principles office." Fluttershy grabbed Raritys keys and got in the car.
"You don't have a drivers license!"
"Yeah, I hope I don't get caught. " Fluttershy drove away.
* * *
"Is there a problem Principle Celestia?" Rarity said entering the office. She sare her sister sitting in one of the seats with a sad expression.
"Sweetie, what's going on?" Rarity asked.
"Yes, a Big one." Celestia said. "Sweetie Belle does get many detentions for talking allowed or with another student. Correct?"
"Yes, maybe ever week or so." Rarity nervously replied.
"Well, where you aware she got multiple detentions for... missing classes or being late." Celestia read off her computer.
"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity yelled. Sweetie Belle sat silent, bored expression.
"And, I remember because I gave her one and other teachers say they did as well. And now, there all gone from her record, which only I have the power to do. And also, it's very funny that my account info was stolen on the same day they where deleted-"
"Sweetie Belle didn't do this." Rarity defended.
"Yeah, she did Rarity. This is very bad," Celestia continued.
"Oh please, like other students don't do it." Sweetie yelled, very angrey.
"Who?" Celestia demaded.
"Snips, Snails, Aria, Trixie-"
"But not Scootaloo and Applebloom?" Celestia sighed.
"No, they didn't have anything to do with it." Sweetie told her. "I didn't either. It was Aria Blaze. I sare a pic on mystable. Take it. Look," Sweetie lifted her phone up, "she took it, and now I guess she went on my account. Which would make sence, she called us stubborn kids and would love us to get in trouble." Sweetie Belle smiled as she leaned back.
"You two are free to go I guess." Celestia handed Sweeties phone back to her. Rarity and Sweetie left the office and made there ways towards the lockers.
"What the hell? Why did you just lie!" Rarity yelled.
"Rarity, I didn't lie." Sweetie said "maybe I creeped around the truth, but that's not lying."
"Scootaloo and Applebloom did have shit to do with the hack. Right? And you wanna ask the honest expert about lying? Go ahead dear," Rarity yelled.
"Possibley." Sweetie crossed her arms.
"I'm telling AJ." She grabbed her phone out to see Sweeties reaction.
"Go right ahead sis!' Sweetie stomped away.
* * *
"You hacked and deleted detentions from your record! And then made your friend cover your ass?" Applejack yelled at her sister over the phone. She was at the hospital."I can't believe you."
"Did we get into trouble?" Applebloom asked from her phone.
"Nope, Arias gonna though." Applejack yelled.
"Then, why does it matter?" Applebloom asked again.
Applejack got angreier. "You know I hate lying, so why are you doing it! You know I have alot going on in my life right now, so why you putting more pressure on me? You know that I'm working the farm alone- oh yeah, the farm that blew up! So we're living in a motel! Do you really think Aria needs this? Her sister died, and her other sister is at deaths door, she could be alone soon! So what do you do! Throw her under the bus!"
Applebloom showed sorrow but a little annoyness. She sighed. "Look sis, I know alot is going on right now, with school, the farm, and F, and-"
"Hold on," Applejack stopped her. "How do you know about F?"
Applebloom instantly hung up and threw her phone on the table. She grabbed her bag and then headed out the door. Shit shit shit, she though.
* * *
"She knows about F?" Sunset questioned.
"Yeah." Applejack parked the car. "And hell is gonna break loose."
The two went up to the door of Applejacks motel. She knocked many times. "Open up. Your not getting out of this sis."
No anwser. Applejack had enough. She kicked down the door. Nobody was there. "Hello?" Sunset called.
RING RING RING RING! Many buzzers went of loudly and repeatedly. Sunset and Applejack covered their ears.
"That's loud!" Sunset yelled. Applejack didn't hear her though. The beeping continued as all doors locked. Applejack tried to open them, but she couldn't.
"We're locked!" Applejack screamed over the beeping.
That's when the spray came into the room. Spraying out of a phone cord, it filled the air, making both Sunset and Applejack faint and not remember the last hour.
The last hour that the whole event had happened.
"I'm Speed for a reason."
Applejack slowly opened her eyes. She sare she was in the hospital. She looked at the bed next to her. Sunset was there. Her vision was blurry. Is this a dream? Am I alive?
"Sunset?" She asked. "Sunset?"
"The princess's up." Applejack looked to her left. She sare Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow!" Applejack said. She didn't know what to say. She knew this was a dream. "Do you know who F is?"
"Yes." Rainbow said.
"Speed?"
"Them all." Rainbow Dash said.
"Who are they?" Applejack asked
"I can't say." Rainbow told her. Applejack looked at her navy died hair with a pink and purple strip. It was straightened. "I don't have long to say this, but all Speed is doing is helping. But sometimes, small things breaks us. And we dont know how to react but with anger. You need to Remeber these letters: S R E D A S U R C E H T. Goodbye Applejack."
Applejack opened her eyes. Rainbow Dash was gone. It really was a dream. She knew she wouldn't remember the letters. But they were stuck in her memory. S R E D A S U R C E H T. She didn't know what it meant though.
"Sis!" Applebloom ran in the room and hugged her sister. "I was scared out of my mind."
"I'm fine sis. Where are Granny and Big Mac?" She asked.
"Talking with the doctor. I'm 'too young to understand'." Applebloom laughed. "So, do you remember anything before you two fainted." Applebloom moved so Applejack could see Sunset.
"Oh, no." Applejack said. "Do you know what S R E D A S U R C E H T spells?"
"A word I guess?" Applebloom guessed. "Anyway, see ya later sis!" She skipped out of the room. Sunset opened her green eyes right as Applebloom left. She looked at AJ puzzled.
"You remember anything?" Applejack asked.
"No, but AJ," Sunset began. "What does S R E D A S U R C E H T mean?"
Applejack froze. "You sare Rainbow?"
Sunset nodded.
* * *
"Am I alive?" Sonata asked Aria.
"Barely." Aria said sadly.
"Your going to be fine. There just going to replace your heart." Rarity told her.
"With who's heart?" Sonata asked, snuggling in her hospital bed.
"Don't know." Fluttershy anwsered.
"I won't do the surgery unless I know who's heart it is." Sonata crossed her arms.
"Dear Sonata and Aria and other two," the doctor said. "While you were asleep, your sisters body was found. Where going to use her heart on you. If you'd like. Otherwise, it doesn't end well." The doctor left the girls with the news.
"She's gone." Sonata teared up. Spike jumped on her and she began to pet him.
"Woah woah buddy," Aria stopped the doctor. "The heart, in which was ripped out of her and thrown on a gross jail floor? Your not putting that in my sister!"
"It was not on a floor, it was on a clean table. And it was clean, and we checked it. So if you have any nerve to argue with me then-"
"Oh I have so much nerve you don't even know who the hell your-"
"Stop!" Rarity yelled. "Stop arguing! Aria, he is one of the countries best doctors. You can trust him."
"Fine." Aria left the room.
"Where are are up going?" Fluttershy asked politely.
"To see what AJ is texting me about." Aria said.
* * *
"How'd that happen?" Speed asked, typing on her laptop.
"It was magic." Salvage sarcastically said, speaking about the spray that knocked the girls unconscious. "I know you put it there."
"Well you're sadly mistaken, sweetheart." Speed shut her laptop and grabbed her phone.
"I know your mad, but this is hurting people." Salvage said. "So stop it now!"
"No. Plus, this was partly your idea" Speed said.
"Really. Lets call Talent, she was there when you came up with this marvelous idea." Salvage grabbed Speeds phone.
"Hey!" Speed yelled.
"You know what you did! You took a princess gem and now she's dead." Salvage said.
"The princess isn't dead, I'll bet you money on that." Speed sat down.
"Really? Well, her puppy is here, and he's sniffing this place up and down to find who?" Salvage pointed her finger at Speed. "You!"
"You win. I'll stop." Speed surrendered.
"Thank you." Salvage said.
"Also, I know it was you who put the spray in. How do I know? Called security cameras bitch!" Speed walked away, leaving Salvage standing in shock.
* * *
" S R E D A S U R C E H T. Now, let's remember you sare this in a dream. Correct?" Aria said.
"Yeah, buts let's remember your a siren" Sunset stated. Aria nodded.
"But what could this spell? We tried so many possible ways!" Applejack complaimed.
Aria grabbed the note pad they worked on and sighed. "You didn't do it backwards."
"Hey!" Scootaloo, who was at the hospital two nights a week said.
"Hey," Aria threw the note pad on Sunsets bed.
"Applebloom told me what happened. Sorry guys. That must suck." Scootaloo adjusted her little bag. "I was about to head to the Art Jam meeting at school, any suggestions?"
"Oh, kareoke!" Sunset suggested. "And bob for Apples, as you know who would love." Applejack winked showing it was her.
"Great! See you later!" Scootaloo walked away.
"I hope someone will tell her nobody's going to the Art Jam." Sunset sighed, reaching to grab the not pad. "Aria, where's the note pad?"
"I put it on the bed," Aria looked around. She got to her knees and looked under the bed.
"Well, you didn't or we would find it." Applejack said rudely.
"It's gone!" Aria yelled. "It's gone! It's gone!"
"What is Speed, and ant?" Sunset said.
"Speed isn't and ant," Aria yelled. Ring ring. She grabbed her phone. "Sorry it has to be this way, it's for you though. Have some though Blaze. -Speed."
Aria ran to the door. Arias face sunk. "It's locked!" She yelled. Sunset and Applejack got up and tried to kick the door down and open it. No use. The spray used on Applejack and Sunset before was coming back in.
"Shit!" Sunset yelled as three fainted.
* * *
"What happened." Sonata asked as she woke up.
"The surgery is done. It was a success." Fluttershy said.
"Where's Aria?" Sonata asked again.
"I have no clue. She's not answering my calls, or text. Neither are Sunset or Applejack." Rarity said.
"Hello Sonata. How you feeling?" The doctor asked.
"Good. We'll great really. Where is Aria-"
"Sir, three girls fainted in room S4." A female doctor rushed in. "One is having an allergic reaction and need surgery stat."
"Who?" Sonata asked. "Who are they?"
"I'll get back to you. " He rushed out of the room.
* * *
Sunset and Applejack where evacuated from there room and put in a new one. Aria wasn't as lucky as them.
"Sonata." The doctor said, "the girl with the allergic reaction is Aria."
"Where is she!" Sonata cried. "I need to see her! Please!" Rarity And Fluttershy held her down.
Aria was rushed to a hospital room, surgery was done, and she was put in a room.
Aria opened her eyes. She was in a dream. She knew it. It was to good to be true. She wasn't dead. She didn't want to die and leave her sister. But did she?
"Rise and shine." A voice said. She looked to her left. Aria looked at the girls hair. Her hair was just like Sunsets. But the person themself wasn't Sunset.
It was Adagio.
"I'm dead, because you have bacon hair." Aria said.
"I don't like the new hair do either." Adagio said, flipping her hair.
"Where am I?" Aria asked. "Am I dead?"
"No, your very well alive." Adagio said. "Your struggling to know what S R E D A S U R C E H T spells, are you?"
"Huh?" Aria said confused.
"Right, forget me spray." Adagio told herself. " S R E D A S U R C E H T is the key out of this mess."
"There letters, not keys" Aria told her.
"Your acting like Sonata." Adagio said. "Remember S R E D A S U R C E H T."
Aria's eyes popped opened. She looked up. All her friends where surrounding her, even Sonata, Applejack, and Sunset.
"Your okay." Aria smiled
"We're all." Sunset said. "You've been asleep for 4 days."
"I sare Adagio." Aria told them. "She told me to remember S R E D A S U R C E H T. "
"Yeah, I remember waking up after that dream, but nothing after it." Sunset sighed.
Aria sat up. "Adagio had you hair Sunset. Why is that?"
"Um... your dreaming." Sonata said. "I'm sad, Spike went threw the portal."
"No, Rainbow did have hair simular to Twilight. Why?" Applejack sat down.
" S R E D A S U R C E H T, maybe that's why." Aria leaned up. "Sonata, hand me that note pad."
Sonata did. Aria scribbled multiple things on it. "Ugh, nothing."
"Try it backwards." Rarity suggested.
"Okay," Aria began writing the text backwards.
"Hey, how's life going?" Sweetie Belle said as she walked in.
"Oh great." Applejack responded. The rest nodded. Sunset carefully took the notepad and threw it into the barrel, hoping Sweetie wouldn't notice.
"Good. Now, Scoots wanted me to stop by and see if her enhaler was in here." Sweetie went to the trash barrel, Sunset watched as she took the note pad and threw it to the side. The top page blank.
"Darn, not here." Sweetie said. "Well, bye."
"No, hold on,' Rarity stopped her sister. She noticed the blank page as well. "Did you take the top page of that note pad?"
"No, what note pad?" Sweetie asked.
"Don't lie to me." Rarity told her sister, crossing her arms.
"I'm not," Sweetie began.
"Where we're you all those times you got those detentions for missing class and being late?" Rarity convicted.
"Don't convict me in front of your friend's!" Sweetie shouted.
"I know for a fact you were the only person who new about my false eye lashes." Rarity said.
"Um hello? You have a bunch of friends!" Sweetie looked away.
" S R E D A S U R C E H T, backwards." Aria stood up with the notepad. "Is THE CRUSADERS."
"Care to explain?" Applejack said.
"No." she said. "I didn't do any of that. Plus there letters, so?"
"That? What does that mean?" Fluttershy asked.
Sweetie remained silent.
"What are you gonna do? Set up some forget shit spray to make us forget this whole conversation?" Aria crossed her arms.
"Stop." Speed and Salvage stood in front of her. The girls all felt there hearts stop.
"You don't have to do this!" Sweetie Belle yelled.
"Yes we do." Salvage said. "Put it on."
Sweetie Belle shut the door. She took a white cloak out of her bag and put it on. She was Talent.
"Your Talent?" Rarity said as Sweetie took her hood on.
"Who are you?" Applejack asked.
Salvage slowly took the hoodie off. The blonde hair remained on her head, it was a wig. Applejack felt her heart rip in half.
"Applebloom?" She whispered. "Your Salvage."
"Your real luck actually, she physical fought me to stop the mystable game." Speed said, hoodie still on. Speed ripped her hoodie like it was a bandage. It was no other the Scootaloo.
"You think this is a joke Scootaloo?" Aria yelled.
"I don't think I'm laughing." Scootaloo anwsered. "I'm gonna tell you all a story. You wanna here a story?"
"Owh! I love stories!" Sonata jumped on the hospital bed.
"The first day the three of us got the F text, we were like 'oh funny joke.'. " Scootaloo told them. "Then, F started breaking into our houses, and scaring us, so we decided we would fight back. So we became this."
"Then when we hacked into the system, and we sare you were being attacked, and we got scared. So we promised we would protect you." Applebloom said
"And I got mad when Aria talked shit about us, I smashed The gem of good hope. Which we took because we thought Twilight was F. And ofcorse we were wrong. We're sorry. This wasn't supposed to go this far. Nobody was supposed to get hurt." Scootaloo looked as if she was going to cry.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Scootaloo stepped back. No no no, she thought. She ran out the door with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. The door then locked, leaving the others on the inside. The crusaders went into immediate action. They tried to kick the door down and everything, but it only got them out of breath.
They could hear the girls freak out as the forget me spray sprayed them. Scootaloo felt tears pressure against her eyes.
"I don't want to have to do that again." Sweetie said, as her and Applebloom threw there hoodies on.
"Me neither, but we could always not say anything." Scootaloo suggested, throwing her jacket off into her bag.
"What are you doing?" Applebloom asked.
"Playing it cool." Scootaloo responded. "You two should do the same." The other two put there hoodies in the same bag.
The crusaders took a deep breath and ran over to a doctor.
"Help them! There are girls trapped in there!" Applebloom cried, tugging on the doctors sleeve.
"So, this happened again?" Applejack asked all her friends.
"Yup." Fluttershy said, leaving the hospital with her friends.
"I can't remember the letters, S W E E-"
"That's not it Sunset." Aria said.
"Uhh! If we had Pinkie." Rarity sighed.
"What's so special about that Mini Sonata?" Aria asked.
"She just knows things." Fluttershy said with and odd expression on her face.
"Like, secrets?" Aria said, beginning a theory.
"Don't even start." Sunset warned.
"We didn't think Applebloom had anything to do with this but she does. Right?" Aria told them.
"Shut up." Applejack crossed her arms.
"Do you think Sweetie or Scootaloo could have anything to do with this?" Sunset asked.
"No way, Sweetie Belle is honest." Rarity said. "Well, unless she's getting into trouble. But, no. She can't even remember how to spell her school name. She uses two T's.". Sunset sighed in dissapointment.
"Okay. That's sad." Sonata said.
"Please, you can't even remember the name," Aria joked.
* * *
"Bail? That's never going to happen." Sunset told Pinkie, who Sunset and Sonata where visiting in jail.
"Think positive silly!" Pinkie enthused.
"I am. Thinking that that's positively never going to happen!" Sunset yelled. Pinkies smiled went away.
"Hey bail could happen! Like, she didn't kill Rainbow. She helped." Sonata smiled.
"Yeah!" Pinkie yelled. "It didn't hurt anyone so I won't go to jail!"
"It doesn't work that way. If the murder is proven guilty, both you and what would have been Adagio wouldn't be free. Ever." Sunset told the two.
"It doesn't work that way either." Sonata said.
* * *
"It thought you were a computer genuis! Now, your looking at this like it's you algebra homework!" Applebloom yelled at Scootaloo.
"I am but I've never hacked into something like this before." Scootaloo told her.
"Please. You've hacked into Sunsets phone how many time?" Applebloom told her.
Scootaloo began to count with her fingers. Applebloom got bored quickly.
She slammed her hand down. "You see my point?"
"Yeah, but Applebloom I don't have the smarts to get into F's computer." Scootaloo said.
"You don't have the smarts to get you English homework done."
"Why does this always come back to me and my homework?" Scootaloo complained.
"Because you never do it." Sweetie said, who was on Scootaloos couch playing Mine craft.
"Who you playing with? Button, or your boy friend?" Scootaloo laughed. Applebloom gasped suprised but also laughing.
"Shut up you little shit," Sweetie blushed.
* * *
"Okay, can anyone tell me where why 1/4 + 1/2 doesn't equal 3/4?" Ms. Cheerilie asked pointing the bored. Scootaloo looked at the bored from her desk. Ms. Cheerilie wondered why we failed the final exam, created by the state. She taught them things the new from elementary school. And she was wrong! Ofcorse, she went with what she was taught. Everyone did.
"Okay, how about you Scootaloo." Ms. Cheerilie picked her.
"My hand wasn't up." Scootaloo said, getting a few laughs from Rumble, Snips, and Applebloom.
"But you were picked on. So, why is it wrong?" Ms. Cheerilie asked.
"Actually, it's correct." Scootaloo stood up. "1/4 + 1/2 does equal 3/4 because 1/2 is the simplified version of 2/4. Then, adding 1/2 would be like adding 2/4 which would equal 3/4 or as a decmail, .75. Now if you mind, I was dozing of thinking about life because I already know this whole lesson." And she sat back down. All the students stared at her in shock, while Scootaloo felt a flash of confidence.
"Go to the Principles office now." Ms . Cheerilie demanded.
"For being right?" Scootaloo couldn't believe what the teacher was doing.
"For making a scene and being rude." Ms. Cheerilie said.
"A scene? I call it and anwser." Scootaloo told her.
"Your making a scene now. And stop acting allowed." Ms. Cheerilie said pointing to the door.
"It's going down!" Silver Spoon whispered.
"Next person who talks is going with her!" Ms. Cheerilie yelled.
"Acting? I'm a real shitty actress, and acting? What like you've been to Big Mac about being-"
"Out now!" Cheerlie yelled. "And how do you know?"
"Acting to my brother about what?" Applebloom asked.
"Congrats Applebloom! You get to go with Scootaloo!" Ms. Cheerilie pointed to the door.
"Hey, she has a mouth and she's gonna use it!" Scootaloo talked back.
"I'm calling the principle." Ms. Cheerilie grabbed the phone and dialed the number.
* * *
"I'm so excited to give a student a new tour! I'm like the tour person now!" Sunset cheered with glee.
"Well, people do like your calmness Sunset. Which your not showing now." Rarity told her.
Sunset calmed down. "Sorry. My mind is still on Adagio. I miss her. It wad the first time I really... nevermind. I've been thinking about her lately. I did see Rainbow, could I have seen her?"
"I was a dream. Not reality, crazy." Sonata said as Rarity painted her nails.
"I know, but, why didn't I see Adagio, or both?" Sunset suggested. "Oh, the new student. I forgot!" She took a few steps to the front door.
"Hi! You must be the new student! I'm Sunset Shimmer!" She greeted without seeing the girl.
"Hi! I'm Allegro Spazzle!" A girl with braces and red glasses said. She had frizzy orange hair with yellow highlights like Adagio. She was dressed like Adagio. She had contacts matching Adagios eye color. She was basically trying to clone Adagio.
"Oh, um, wow." Sunset gasped, heart pounding.
"My sisters call me Adagio though," Allegro said. Sunset noticed she even had a necklace like Adagio. The pendent. Sunset began to cough a little.
"Oh, okay." Sunset said. Rarity and Sonata gave strange girl a weird look.
"Canterlot high is a great school," Sunset began. "Your really gonna love it-"
"No way!" Allegro gasped, pushing passed Sunset. "Are you Sonata Dusk!"
"Yes!" Sonata enthused with fear in her voice. Allegro hugged her out of no where. She let go quickly.
"Your amazing! Can you give me the tour?" She asked.
"Hold on!" Sunset shouted.
"Um, sure!" Sonata offered, deadness in her voice. Allegro started acting as if Sonata was her BFF and they knew eachother for ever. She grabbed her and they ran down the hall, giving Sunset the chance to see there was a patch on the back of Allegro ' s jacket.
A patch that had Adagios symbol on it.
* * *
Applebloom and Scootaloo sat in the dark office, waiting for Principle Celestia to come in. The girls where alone though.
"Hey, at least we know we didn't do anything." Scootaloo optimistly said, looking over at her friend, who had a tear rolling down her face. Scootaloos smile faded. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"What did you mean? Acting to Big Mac." Applebloom asked.
"I forgot you were in the room." Scootaloo said. "Me and Sweetie where going to tell you soon, anyway, here's the truth. When I was at the hospital on Tuesday, after I took the notes, I went into the file office to trash the notes, but then I sare Ms. Cheerilies files opened. I looked because I'm nosey and I sare the true reason why Ms. Cheerilie is leaving for India for 10 months."
Scootaloo paused. "Go on. I'm already heart broken." Applebloom told her.
"She is having a baby." Scootaloo admitted.
"But she's not married," Applebloom said.
"Exactly. So I kept reading and, Applebloom." Scootaloo felt guilty. "Your gonna be an Aunt!"
Applebloom felt her world fall apart. "Wait, he..." Applebloom felt like she was gonna throw up.
"And Cheerilie doesn't have the nerve to tell him the, well the Big news. I'm sorry to hide this." Scootaloo apologized.
"It's not your fault." Applebloom said, looking down in a sad disbelief.
"Also, if where telling the truth,I ate your gingerbread man when we were making houses in second grade." Scootaloo admitted.
"Bonnie?" Applebloom cried.
* * *
"She's trying to be her! Legit, it made me want to puke!" Sunset yelled.
"Yeah. She smells bad." Sonata made a stinky motion.
"Well, she's a creep. Stay away from her." Aria told them, drinking her tea.
"How? She keeps mystableing us." Sonata said.
"Block her idiots." Aria got up and grabbed phone.
"Yeah, we tried. She unblocked herself." Sunset sighed.
"We'll she's a creep. What can you do?" Sonata repeated Aria.
Aria smiled. "Show her what it's like to really be a dazzling."
* * *
Scootaloo was asleep in her bedroom, dreaming about her normal dreams, being a rebel, as she always had hoped.
Scootaloo felt something hit her face. She woke up instantly. She grabbed the object. It was her Speed hoodie. She look up and sare Applebloom, wide awake, in her Salvage outfit. Scootaloo looked at the clock. 2:00 pm. She looked back at her friend.
"What's the accation?" Scootaloo complained, "Because the sun is still down."
"She woke me up too." Sweetie Belle, in her Talent cloak, said as she wipped her sleepy eyes.
"What the hell?" Scootaloo companined.
"Get dressed." Applebloom demanded. "We're going to school."
(Warning: Sonata once again almost dies.)
"Yo dude! We gotta substitute for the rest of the year!" Rumble yelled, high fiveing his friend.
"Not a great accation." Scootaloo said solemnly as she finished her homework. "It's a shitty normal day."
"Wow, if Ms. Cheerilie was here, she would send you to the office." Rumble told her.
"She wouldn't dare." Scootaloo smiled. "And Miss Cheerilie is at the doctors. She's not gone yet boys."
"How do you know that." Snails, who had been easdropping asked.
"It's called hacking." Scootaloo closed her binder with a loud thump.
* * *
"Aria, do you think Adagio could be alive?" Sonata asked, looking up from her phone.
"No way." Aria told her. "All that blood and the- ugh- I don't want to talk about it."
"Well, finding a body means your dead, but not? That means you can never be sure." Sonata snezzed.
"Do you think if Adagio stayed away from Canterlot," Aria began. "We wouldn't be here. She wouldn't be dead? Ever think that she's dead because her own actions? Sometimes to be honest, I think she is."
"Do you think if you never put her in jail assuming shit you don't even know," Sonata yelled. "She would still be alive?"
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
"Please! Without me you'd be dead!" Aria shouted as Sonata began to walk away.
Sonata gasped and turned around. "Please! I rather be! I hate you so much!" Sonata began to run down the street.
"Sonata Dusk! Get back here!" Aria yelled having a guilty feeling in her stomach.
Sonata kept running down the sidewalk. She heard Aria calling her, but ignored. She began to walk, being out of breath. She soon looked back to see Aria was gone. She looked at watch. 5:00 pm. Late, but she didn't care. She walked until she was in the middle of nowhere.
The sun was starting to set. Sonata sat on the little patch of grass near a small concrete path, slapping mosquitoes away. "Owh!" She yelled as one bit her in the knee. Many more bit her as she got up and began running away from the mob. She grabbed her phone and began to call Rarity, but she got no responce.
"Help!" She called. To her luck, a car pulled up. She went over to the window and the person pulled the window. She had a black coat on and threw her hair in a bun. She held a gun to Sonatas torso. Sonata felt tears streaming down her face.
"Get in." Human Twilight demanded. "Now."
"Why? No-"
"I'm F. Get in the fucking car." Twilight said. Sonata did as told. Twilight put the gun to Sonatas head.
"Stay silent." Twilight demanded, pressing the gun harder against Sonatas head.
* * *
"Why y'all so silent?" Granny Smith asked Applejack, Applebloom, and Big Mac, who were silently eating their dinner.
"Long day at school." Applebloom told her, playing with her apple sauce sadly.
"Eeyup." Applejack agreed.
"Oh," Granny said, leaving the room.
"You two are acting weird around eachother, are you guys okay?" Applejack asked as soon as Granny was gone.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said. "I need to talk to Appleblooms alone.". Applejack looked at her sister suprised, and then left the room to help Granny in the kitchen.
"You know?" Big Mac questioned.
"What?" Applebloom filled her cup with water.
"Cheerlie. I know you know." He said.
"And yet, your still not telling anyone." Applebloom said with frown on her face.
"And you told Scootaloo?"
"Actually," Applebloom corrected, "she told me."
Big Mac said eyes went wide. "If you or Scootaloo another living soul-"
"Sweetie Belle knows." Applebloom crossed her arms.
"She won't tell anyone." Big Mac ensured. "And you tell Scootaloo to stop convicting me." He threw files at her. The files Scootaloo gave him. "Or else."
* * *
Sonata said nothing as Twilight kept driving. She felt l I keep she was going to throw up she was so scared. She didn't know what to do. She was sitting in the same car as F.
"You're really F?" Sonata asked.
"No." Twilight said. "I'm F.5. I helped F's ass for so long. Then F kills my experiment."
"Who's your experiment?"
"The Adagio from this dimension. Shot her in the knee then face. And I have to lie to Human you and Aria." Twilight told her furiously.
Sonata thought of the best excuse. She didn't know what the effect was though . "Your pony counterpart is dead. Did you know that? Got hit by a helicopter. Clipped her wing and fell."
Twilight stopped the car. She looked at Sonata with worried eyes. "Dead? Helicopter?" Twilight turned pail.
"It's faith." Twilight said, putting the gun to her own head, and pulling the trigger. Sonata jumped as the riffle went off. She felt tears stream down her face. She also felt Twilights blood on her clothe and face. She picked up her phone with hesitation and tears and dialed 9-1-1.
"Hello?" She said into the phone, crying tears. There's been an accident-"
Sonata paused as she watched the windows shatter into pieces. And also felt a bullet go threw her stomach. Sonata threw up blood into a small purse in Twilight's car, then began crying because of the pain. She heard more gun shots go off. She sare a person fall to the ground dead. It was the person who shoot Sonata. But who shoot that person?
Sonata fell out of the car, onto the ground and got a glance at the real F.5. She knew Twilight wasn't F or F.5. She was just a helper. F.5 was Flash Sentrey, who layed dead on the ground. Sonata looked at the bodies with tears. She put her head on the ground and began crying.
"Sonata?" Sonata looked up. She sare Aria, clothe blood stained, and a loaded gun in her hand. She knew she killed Flash. "Sonata! Shh!" Aria ran over and I'm braced her in a hug.
"I don't wanna die." Sonata told Aria, drowsy because she lost alot of blood.
"Your not gonna die, I promise." Aria promised, holding her hand. She sare tears streaming down Arias face.
"I love you Aria. I didn't mean it." Sonata felt her eyes closing.
"I love you too. Sonata! No stay with me!" Aria yelled. She shook her sister. "Please, I can't be alone."
* * *
"You convicted him? Why would you do that?" Applebloom asked angerly, sitting on the floor Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and Scootaloo were in Acting class, which there were no chairs.
"Yeah, that was real stupid." Sweetie Belle said as she turned her phone off.
"Because if Ms. C wouldn't do it, I would." Scootaloo said as Ms. Bates ran into the room, in a hurry.
"Okay, sorry I'm late class," Out of breath Ms. Bates apologized. "Today, we will do improv, but truth or dare improv. This is were one student dares 3 or more students including themselves to do an acting scene with a special challenge. Diamond Tiara, go first!" Ms. Bates clapped.
"Okay, I dare Rumble, Scootaloo, Sweetie, and Applebloom to do a scene using the alphabet for the first letter of each sentence." Diamond said in her rude voice.
"Isn't that from Victorious?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Just do it. Start with F." Diamond Tiara demanded. "Start with Rumble."
Rumble: Flowers are growning!
Sweetie: Great, who cares?
Scootaloo: Howdy, I'm Applebloom!
Applebloom: I'm not an idiot like Scootaloo!
Everyone gasped and giggled as Scootaloo looked at her friend with anger.
Diamond: Sure.
Diamond looked at the teacher hoping she wouldn't notice her screw up. She did, pointing Diamond to the floor.
Rumble: Jokes, your jokes are funny!
Sweetie: Kites are cool as well.
Scootaloo: Linda has a kite.
Applebloom: My my! Looks like she's leaving!
Rumble: No, she's not.
Sweetie: Oh no! I'm gonna faint! *Falls to ground.*
"Hello?" Rumble kicked Sweetie. The teacher made a buzzing noise and pointed to his spot.
Scootaloo: Please be greatful for what I'm doing for you and your family.
Applebloom:Quiet idiot.
Scootaloo: Really?
Applebloom:So, what are you planning next? Make my life worse.
Sweetie: Totally not!
Scootaloo: Shush child. Wait no!
"Out!" Ms. Bates yelled . Scootaloo slammed her hands down and walked away.
Applebloom: Usually your on my side.
Sweetie: *Stands up* Very true, not this time.
Applebloom: Why?
Sweetie: X-rays, you need one. Your back is broken.
Applebloom: Zebras have a better mind then me to know that's not true.
"To A!" Ms. Bates called.
Sweetie: Are you really mad at her for being supportive?
Applebloom: Being a Bitch isn't supportive. Speaking of bitches, you are being one now.
Sweetie: Cool. Because a Bitch is a female dog, a dog barks, bark is apart of nature, and nature is beautiful, and destructive so watch your back.
Applebloom" Damn you.
Sweetie: You have us no matter what. Don't need to be sad or think where against eachother. We're the crusaders-"
"You should have used E!" Ms. Bates yelled. Sweetie looked at Applebloom, who was smiling apologizetic like.
"Everything in school is boring. There's your E." Scootaloo said as Sweetie, Applebloom and Scootaloo walked out of the gym, arms locked together, like the old days.
* * *
"Sonata, please stay with me." Aria begged.
"No, I wanna die, right here," Sonata coughed, "I can't take pain anymore. My sisters dead, my girlfriends in jail, your all suffering-"
"And we won't if your gone? Please. I don't want to go to jail and not have you." Aria told her, sobbing. Sonata looked damaged at her. "But I respect your wishes." Aria hugged her sister. Right then, the police, and the ambulance arrived. Aria looked up, happy and in fear.
The hospital people told Aria to move away from Sonata, and the car.
"Did you do this?" A man pointed to Twilight and Sonata.
"Twilight shot herself because she thought she would die tommorow." Sonata, half asleep said. "And he," she pointed at Flash. "Shot me."
The police went over to Flashs body. Aria walked over, clutching the weapon in her hand. The place looked at Flash and then Arias bloody close.
"I got him because he was gonna kill Sonata." Aria dropped the gun, feeling horrible. "From behind my car." Aria pointed.
"Sonata lost 3/4th's of her blood, she could possibly not remember anything at all. And, the gun shot was in the direction of your car." The man said. Aria stood in confusion.
"Aria Blaze, you under arrest for the murder of Flash Sentrey and Twilight Sparkle. Along with the injuring of Sonata Dusk. Turn around." The officer forced Aria around and put her in handcuffs.

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the F that haunts us all?
Sonata opened her eyes in the medicine smelling hospital bed. She was alive? She though it was a dream. But she couldn't tell. She looked around to see she was alone. She looked to her right to see no one else then Adagio, with Sunsets hair.
"Hi Sonata." Adagio greeted. "How are you feeling?"
"Am I dead?" Sonata asked, looking around.
"Your in a dream." Adagio told her. "What happened when Aria killed Twilight?"
"Twilight killed herself." Sonata corrected.
"Good job. I was would give you a taco if I had one." Adagio patted Sonatas bangs.
"We're is Aria?" Sonata held her breath.
"Behind bars." Adagio said as she faded away.
Sonatas eyes opened to see the same hospital as in her dreams. This time, Adagio was gone and her friends where there. Everyone but Aria.
"Was Aria arrested for both murders?" Sonata looked up and asked. They nodded.
"Sonata, do you remember what happened?" Sunset took her hand. "Because, of you take the stand at Arias trial, that could save Aria."
"When's Arias trial?" Sonata couldn't stop asking questions.
"Three days. You'll be out in two." Applejack said, analyzing a piece of paperwork.
"What are you doing?" Sonata asked, once again.
"It's from... Salvage. I showed Applebloom and she said she didn't send it. It's about Big Mac got Appleblooms teacher... well," Applejack handed Sonata the paper. Sonatas eyes opened as she read the paper.
"Oh god." She mumbled handing the paperwork back to Applejack.
"Wait, let me see that." Rarity took the paper and read. "Funny, this person spelled 'genius' like 'genuis'. Thats... that's very wrong."
"What's very wrong?" Scootaloo asked as her and Sweetie Belle walked in together.
"Where's Applebloom?" The older sister said.
"Um... she's either at detention or downstairs getting 'one' of those lollipops at the counter." Scootaloo smiled.
"She gets like 20. What's so good about them?" Wondered Fluttershy.
"Um... she gets like 40." Sweetie Belle told them.
"Um, does any of you know someone who spells genius, G-E-N-U-I-S?" Sunset asked. Sweetie shook her head while Scootaloos eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Yes! Ms Cheerilie, why?" Scootaloo almost shouted.
"Because Salvage wrote this paper about well, it says you three know. About Big Mac and Cheerilie." Applejack reread a little.
"She wrote that? From India? I'm calling bullshit on that." Sweetie Belle said, looking at her nails.
"India? I thought she was on her honeymoon." Sonata said.
"She made up different excuses for her absence in every class." Applebloom said as she walked in with a lollipop in her mouth. She took two out of her bag and handed them to her friends.
"Applebloom, are you sure you didn't write that paper?" Sunset asked, standing up.
"That?" Applebloom smiled fakely. "Possibley?"
"You promised you didn't!" Applejack yelled.
"I also promised Scootaloo that I wouldn't tell-"
"Shut the fuck up!" She yelled, covering Appleblooms mouth.
"No, continue." Applejack demanded.
"It's nothing that you would care for." Scootaloo said, walking away, taking Applebloom with her.

Aria tugged her long purple and teal hair back into a pony tail. Then she adjusted her jump suit and combat boots. She picked up the folded up paper that contained everything that happened after Adagio got arrested she planed on giving to a friend she hadn't seen in a long time.
Pinkie Pie.
"Two sizes Blaze. Take their card then give them the number that matches." A woman yelled, shoving Aria behind the steel desk.
"Seven."
"Eight."
"Eight."
"Seven."
"Aria?"
Aria looked up. It was Pinkie Pie. Her hair was curly but tied in a bun.
"Why are you here?" Pinkie smiled.
"Hurry up ladies!" The same woman yelled.
"All in the note. Along with my schedule, follow it so we can pass the notes." Aria put the note in the jumpsuit and Pinkie kept walking.
"See ya at laundry!" The same Pinkie Pie as before Rainbow died yelled with joy.
* * *
"Your giving more people tours? Come on." Applejack said dissapointedly.
"I need to make new friends." Sunset demanded. "And why can't you go see Sonata?"
"Because it's third period. We have school." Applejack said. "If you want to forget Adagio-"
"The new girl is here!" Sunset yelled. She took Applejacks hat and flipped it down onto her face.
"Hi welcome to..." Sunset stopped. The new girl, looked just like Adagio. Orange frizzy hair with cheep highlights, same eyes (Sonata eyes lashes), same skin, purple outfit like Adagio except a patch stitched on that was Adagios cutie mark. Sunset was sure she would die of... worry?, was it Sunset felt? "Canterlot High."
"Thanks." The deep, mature voice came out of the clone. "I'm Allegro Spazzle. A Dazzling. Any clue where my idols are?"
Sunset looked over to Applejack, who had her hat over her face still.
* * *
"Okay Aria," Arias lawyer, Maggie said. "To prove you not guilty, we need alot of witnesses and history info. Your sister will take the stand-"
"What about Flash? I really killed him in self defense. But I didn't touch Twilight." Aria confessed sadly.
"Well, thats for a witness like Sonata to say at the trial." Maggie told her.
"And what does Sonata remember?" Aria stood up. "A flying taco? Let me take the stand." Aria demanded.
Maggie gasped. "No way! You would be guilty across the bored."
"How many cases have you won?" Aria asked. "None!"
Aria got up and ran out of the room. She slammed the door behind her and then walked to her little cell. She slammed her jail cell shut. She fell onto her uncomfortable bed and grabbed her pillow. She rested her head on it and began to cry.
It seems like centuries ago I was home, in Equestria. Singing Pop music with Adagio and Sonata. My sisters, who I also haven't seen in what feels like centuries. Adagio, my demanding leader, who everyone though her soul was black. It wasn't. She was also a fun, caring, and sweet person. But rude at points. She was gone. I'll never see her again. Sonata, was never mean. She was the happiest human being ever. She loved tacos. I know she's next. She'll be the next one with blood scattered around the wall. Heart ripped out too. Why did I use Applebloom? Why? One more chance. Please! I know I won't get it. Why and I even thinking I will? Everything is lost. Or, it will be lost.
* * *
"I don't like Allegro one bit." Sunset muttered. She shut her book with a slam and grabbed another from the pile.
"Give her a chance." Sweetie Belle told her, flipping through a text book. She flipped her curls back and looked at Sunset, who blabbed on.
"No Sweetie!" Sunset yelled in a whisper. "She's scaring me and making me cry during science. And the only sad thing in science is Discords sad jokes!"
"True." Sweetie agreed. "But be Allegros friend. Change her. Make her forget Adagio. Make her forger the dazzlings. More importantly, do not tell her that Adagio is dead and Arias in jail. And keep Sonata away from her."
"What do you mean?" Allegro asked as she sat down next to Sweetie. "Where's Adagio?"
Sunset felt tears burn in her eyes. She felt her temper rise. She wanted to smack Allegro. She didn't though, and she knew she wouldn't. She felt her heart flash and her eyes unfocused and refocus. "Fuck you Allegro." And Sunset stormed away.
Sweetie stood in suprise, she looked at Allegro. She had an evil look on her face.
"Who are you?" Sweetie asked. Allegro looked at her and threw a note onto her text book. Sweetie ripped it open right as Allegro left.
I'm not who you think I am. Statue, outside school, tonight. Or Rarity pays.
-S
"Allegro? Hello?" Sweetie called, tugging on her jacket. She was at the portal, where who was called Allegro told her to go. It was almost winter, and all Sweetie Belle had on was her normal dress and boots along with a thin pink CHS sweatshirt. Sweetie Belle knew that she should tell Scootaloo or Rarity about Allegro, but she knew she would hold her back. Sweetie Belle knew Allegro knew something about F.
A person in a black hoodie came around the cornor of the statue. Sweetie looked in horror. She ran a little bit until she tripped. Then person followed. Sweetie moved away, and slowly then stopped. She sare they person had an Allegro mask on, and that also they weren't going to hurt her. She stood up and brushed her skirt off.
"Is that," the person pointed to the statue of the horse in front of the school. "Is that the statue to the other dimension?"
Sweetie shrugged. "Beats me!" She lied.
"Where's Sonata?" The person demanded.
"The hospit- why do you care! Who are you! Are you F?" Sweetie yelled.
The person in the black hoodie shook there head. They didn't have the F uniform. A black hoodie, purple jeans, and black combat boots. "I don't know who F is.". The person slowly took the mask on there face.
Sweetie Belles jaw dropped with confusion. The person was Sonata Dusk.
"This is impossible!" Sweetie Belle screamed. "Your in the hospital!"
"No, your friend that looks like me is in the hospital. I'm Allegro. Ever heard of make up? I'm from Crystal High." Sonata grabbed Sweeties colar. "Now where the hell is my sister?"
"WHO?"
"Adagio! Tell me now! I know you know. You were talking about her!" Sonata gripped harder.
"I have no clue!" Sweetie Belle coughed.
"Dead, isn't she? Just like Twilight!" Sonata threw Sweetie to the ground. "Your Aria killed her!"
Sweetie closed her eyes and looked away as Sonata raised her arms to the sky. "Not.". Sweetie opened her eyes and looked at Sonata. "I'm gonna try to help you with something. Aria the... well, her. You need to make sure Sonata Dusk, not me, doesn't go to the stand."
"I'm can't trust you!" Sweetie laughed.
"Can you trust me if I told you Aria didn't kill Flash." Sonata crossed her arms. "F made her think her bullet did."
"You said you didn't know who F is!" Sweetie cried.
"Wanna know what else I said! I'd get my grades up, I'd get a dog, I'd go on a diet, I didn't do any of that!" Sonata yelled.
"Wait! Aria didn't kill Flash? F did? Why would F do that?" Sweetie Belle felt her arm which was stinging in pain. She felt warm blood roll down her arm. She had a cut on her arm.
"Why won't Talent help a friend in need? That's what you do right!" Sonata ripped the hoodie off to reveal her long blue hair. Sonata smiled. Sweetie sighed. "Fine." She agreeded.
* * *
Aria walked into the laundry room and looked around in suspicion of the word room full off people who gave her a dirty look. Arias glance finally caught Pinkie Pies. She began to walk over, catching more people's attention and giving Aria more dirty looks.
Pinkie grabbed Arias arm and pulled her behind a self. "This place has so many people. Here." Pinkie slid a note into Arias pocket.
"How'd you live here? For three months?" Aria questioned. "It's dreadful."
"I know." Pinkie agreed. "But people are nice-"
"The ones who want to kill us with tortilla chips?" Aria pointed out. "Yeah, nice."
"No, the others." Pinkie shook Aria.
"Others?"
"Ugh, I've kinda started talking to myself sence I have no friends." Pinkie looked down. "It's sad."
"That's not sad. And you have me," Aria looked around. "How long do we have until bedtime?" Aria felt like a two year old.
Pinkie looked at the clock. "Half an hour."
Aria made eye contact with a rat. It was very big, like Arias eyes that grew with a plan. She walked over to the rat and picked it up. Aria held it out to Pinkie, and Pinkie let out a shriek.
"Put it in the washing machine."
"What!" Pinkie Pie looked at Aria and shook her head.
"Trust me." Aria held the rat with one hand. Pinkie sighed and grabbed the rat and threw it in the washing machine. She shut the door and wipped her hands on Arias jailsuit. Aria a stood still and smiled as the load kept running.
"Now what?" Pinkie asked.
"We wait until morning to say something "pranked us"." Aria cracked her knuckles.
* * *
"Are you two keeping some secret? You almost blew your head off while Applebloom was talking." Sweetie Belle said, thinking about Sonatas human counterpart.
"No. It's just... ugh, it's nothing." Scootaloo told Sweetie.
"Sure. Be honest with me." Sweetie said as she organized papers.
"It's nothing. Just well, she scared about Big Mac." Scootaloo promised.
"Sonata going on the stand-"
"You tell me your secret I tell you mine," Sweetie Belle looked right in Scootaloos eyes.
"Deal." Scootaloo promised. "Go first."
"You- fine. Sonatas human counterpart wants me to make sure real Siren Sonata doesn't go on the stand, because she knows Aria didn't kill anyone." Sweetie Belle coughed. "She's not F."
"And your gonna do it? Let Sonatas human counterpart go to the stand and fake pretty cry?" Scootaloo stood in disbelief.
"No. Next? Spill it!" Sweetie demanded.
"I- I can't." Scootaloo stuttered.
"Why can't you?" Asked Sweetie Belle.
"Just... ugh... I can't do it. Only Applebloom knows.". Sweetie felt anger flash inside her.
"I TOLD YOU AND YOU SAID DEAL BITCH!" Sweetie yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Fine... me and Applebloom broken into the file room and stole the files based off Big Mac and Cheerilie." Scootaloo looked at her. "Happy?"
Sweetie nodded. "Very. Did you get caught?"
"Nope." Scootaloo nodded and hugged her friend. They bother knew the other haven't told the truth, or at least the full truth...
* * *
"Sunset, are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, watching Sunset play with a bendy straw with a sad expression.
Sunset looked up. "Is it obvious?" Fluttershy nodded. "Ugh. Everything's wrong."
"Your hairs okay." Fluttershy said as she sipped her coffee. Sunset gave her an annoyed look. "Just... tell me."
"Where do I start?" Sunset slammed her face on table. "Adagio and Rainbow are dead, Arias in jail for murder, Pinkies in jail for helping, my human counterpart knows I exist, Allegro, ugh."
"Slow down what? What?"
"It's nothing. Just I sare her at... taco bell. Didn't I tell you this? More stuff is more of my worry."
"And F." Fluttershy bit into her scone.
"I also feel sick." Sunset gagged. "Want my food?" Sunset slid it over to Fluttershy. Fluttershy declined. "Ugh, why us?"
"Because we're special." Fluttershy put a piece of hair up into her barrette. "And we have the magic of Friendship."
"But do the Sirens?"
"Not nessasarly, they have general magic."
"Um... do you remember the Battle of the bands? Twilight said they're three harmless teenage girls!" Sunset yelled.
"Do you also remember what we sare Aria and Sonata do after the battle of the bands?" Fluttershy slammed her hand on the table.
Sunset sighed. "Yeah, I remember-"
Fluttershy started moving her hand under her chin back and forth, what Sunset felt like was a warning to stop. Sunset looked confused and stopped speaking.
"What?" Sunset turned around to see Allegro, looking at the two girls suspiciously. She walked over to the two, angrey, mad face, with her frappuccino.
"Hey, Allegro." Fluttershy said as Sunset looked slyly at her. Allegro nodded her head and without any warning, threw her drink onto Sunsets shirt. The cap came off and the drink got all over her pink shirt. Sunset stood up as the drink dripped down onto her skirt and the ice fell onto the floor. Sunset gave a cold stare at Allegro, who was smiling with pleasure.
"I'll wipe that smile off your face." Sunset told Allegro as she punched her in the jaw.
Allegro quickly stumbled back. "You moron. You will regret this. I promise you. You and your dirty ass."
Sunset rolled her green eyes. "Yeah, yeah I bet I will you son of a bitch-"
"That's enough Sunset!" A voice comanded. Sunset and Allegro both turned to see Principle Celestia. "This is not how you treat a new student. A new friend-"
"Friend? FRIEND!" Sunset roared. "She's a fucking sycopath! Look at her! She's a clone of Adagio! I was trying to get over her for so, so long! I cared about her!" Sunset glanced at Celestia, and then at Allegro with hate in her eyes. "But you! You make me feel like she's still here but gone! Your making me use the ten passes I have all year at this freaking school to go to the bathroom and cry a little. Because I miss her. And I feel like she still here. Not gone.. And I want her to be here! Yes, she made really, really bad mistakes! But so did I! And I think," Sunset are contact with Celestia, and Luna who had now walked up to her. "Most of you forgive me, but none of you give a damn! What the hell did you do when Rainbow died, a five minute investagation? 'Oh no body oh well investagation off' Bull shit that? Bull shit this town! Bull shit everything! Nobody would miss me! None of you would me is I was gone. So why haven't I run away? I ask myself that every night. Enjoy your frappuccino bitch." Sunset mumbled at Allegro, grabbing her bag and leaving.
"Why would anyone forgive her?" Allegro asked, being that innocent bitch everyone hated.
"Why would you be so rude to someone who's been so hurt? So devistated?" Fluttershy yelled, choked voice and tears streaming down her face.
"I've lost people too!" Allegro yelled.
"Let Allegro be, Fluttershy." Luna defended.
"Sunset has lost one of her best friends. Her closer friend. And another close friend. So, enjoy your frappuccinos. All of you." Fluttershy cried.
"What the hell did you two do?" Maggie, Arias lawyer asked Aria and Pinkie Pie.
"I put a rat in some other persons washing machine. It was a mistake, honest!" Aria smiled.
"Atleast we didn't have to run 20 miles." Pinkie said, putting her hands in her pockets.
"You accidentally put a rat in Dawn Lights washer? Maybe I will make you run the 20 miles." Maggie suggested with anger. "It's like you don't care."
"Holy shit, ofcourse I care! I wouldn't have killed Flash if I didn't care about my sister!" Aria threw her hands up.
"You swear once more you will run 20 miles!" Maggie turned around. Aria looked down and gave Pinkie the note, or AKA an update.
"Was that a note!" Maggie questioned walking over to the two.
"Note? Your seeing things." Aria said.
"Give me the note Pinkie." Maggie held her hands out. Pinkie shook her head. Maggie slammed her hands on her head. "Fine, go run 50 miles then."
"50 miles? That's not right!" Aria shouted.
"Go now or its 100!" Maggie yelled.
* * *
"When's the other Sonata taking the stand?" Sonatas human counterpart asked in her Allegro makeup and outfit.
"Um..." Sweetie looked through her notes. "Today."
"Today?" She shrieked. "That's not enough time!"
"Nothing I can do. Move faster." Sweetie Belle told her.
"What are you gonna tell other Sonata?" Allegro/Sonatas human counterpart asked.
"I'm gonna pretend to be F and lock her in her basement." Sweetie Belle flipped through more notes.
"I'm not stupid." Allegro/Sonatas human counterpart anwsered.
"Um... yes. You are." Sweetie Belle said. "Now, if you mind, I have a Sonata to trap."
* * *
"Are you sure you don't need a ride? Your still recovering." Sunset offered.
"I'm okay. Trust me." Sonata said, limping to the couch. Sunset waved by and left. Sonata sat on the couch and took a deep breath. She looked around her home. It's so lonely. She thought.
Bam! Sonata jerked her head. "Hello?" She called, picking her phone up. No responce happened.
In the click of a button, the forgetting spray was sprayed everywhere. Sonata quickly began to dial Sunsets number, but Sonata was knocked out in a second. Sweetie, who had a gas mask and a black hoodie on, ran downstairs, knocking Sonata was out.
"Sorry Sonata," Sweetie apologized as she dragged Sonatas knocked out body into the closet. She locked the door and then leaned against it.
"Never again." Sweetie promised herself, throwing the hoodie off and her yellow rain coat on.
* * *
The trail. Aria shook in fear. This would determine what she would do for the rest of her life. Where she would be. She would never return to Equestria if she was guilty. This wasn't what scared her the most though, it was that Sonata would be alone with F on the loose. Sunset, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Applebloom sat in the trail room.
"First to the stand," The judge demanded. "A witness, Sonata Dusk."
Sonata slammed the doors opened and walked right up to the stand with sass, and confidence. She sat down and gave Aria a serious, but happy look. Aria looked the same way back, but with more fear.
"Okay, Dusk," the lawyer, Hanna, who "just knew" Aria was guilty said, "Tell us the story."
"Twilight Sparkle," Sonata began with a never before heard tone, "told me to get in the car and put a gun to my head when I ran into the forest because... I thought someone was chasing me.". Aria raised an eyebrow.
"Who was chasing you?" Hanna asked, eyeing Aria.
Sonata shrugged, "No idea. But then, Twilight's phone, began to ring. She then put the gun to her head and," Sonata pretty cried, "Shot herself. That's when bullets flew at me. Hit me in the stomach. I tumbled out of her car and sare Flash was dead. I didn't know what to do. Then, I sare it."
"What?" Hanna and Maggie, who was sitting next to Aria, said at the same time.
"The person, who was chasing me. He or she killed Flash. It wasn't Aria. It was the person." Sonata sat up.
"Who's this 'person'?" Hanna asked again.
"Her." Sonata pointed to Sunset, who looked at her with confusion. Aria turned and looked at Sunset, tears in eyes. "I sare her in her normal outfit. Same hair. Skin pail."
"Is this true?" Hanna asked Sunset.
"No!" Sunset promised. "No, I was at school."
"Sonata what are you doing-"
"Objection!" The judge yelled. The room was silent.
* * *
Sonata pounded on the locked door. She had woken up and was scared what could have been happening to her sister.
"HELP ME!" Sonata cried, having a pain on her chest. No responce. Sonata began to cry on the door. She still kept banging the door. Then she heard the door of her house open.
"Sonata!" Applejack yelled. "Come out!"
"Help!" She cried with joy from the closet. She heard the clicking knowing her friends where unlocking the door. When the door opened, Sonatas smile faded.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Your smart mouth at the trial happened." Sunset crossed her arms.
"I - I didn't go to the trial." Sonata said. "F tied me up, in here!"
"That's impossible!" Rarity yelled, "You went on the stand and said Sunset killed Flash."
"I didn't go, I was here, tied up!" Sonata shook her head. "Please, believe me!"
"Wait, F tied you up? Then, who was on the stand?" Fluttershy asked.
"Your twin sister?" Sunset face palmed. "No, what? How in this world-"
"The doll," Sonata stood up, Applejack then untied her. "The doll from Rainbow, we kept it, it, it recorded the whole thing."
"Grab a computer!" Exclaimed Applejack. Fluttershy did as told, putting the camera chip into her laptop. The girls watched the video, gasping at seeing Sweetie Belle had done it.
* * *
"Okay Ali, Alison, Aria, whatever your name is you make me sick." An officer said, throwing Aria into the visiting room. The visitor sat in a yellow raincoat, arms crossed, hoodie up. Aria sat in confusion.
"Hello?" Aria voice sounded dry. The person took hoodie off.
"Hello me," it was Aria Blazes human counterpart.
"Why the hell are you here," Aria said, anger at a full high in her voice.
"To thank you," Yellow Coat Aria said. "For ruining my life. I had to leave Crystal high, because everyone thinks I murdered someone. Now," she leaned in. "I have no idea who the hell any of you are, or why the hell you and your sisters could clone us, but, you need to stop it!"
"Stop it! Bitch please!" Aria yelled in a laughter way. "I can't leave here. Thanks to my Sonata, I'm stuck here for ever! Along with Sunset!"
"Anwser me this, why the fuck are there two Sunsets?"
"Two Sunsets?"
"Sunset was my friend, she attended Crystal high and loved writing storys. So why the fuck do you have one?" Yellow Coat Aria asked.
"I don't know! What storys is she writing? The story of my care for this conversation?" Aria yelled.
"Beats me!" Yellow Coat yelled. "Twilight knew where you and your pack came from. So you killed her!Because it would ruin you! I'm not growing up to be a musician, I'm growing up to be a lawyer. So tell me were the fuck my Adagio went? And don't you dare say she's dead. And I also know that she had this same conversation with your sister."
Aria's eyes widened. "She knew you exsisted?"
Yellow Coat Aria ignored her question. "Where is she? Because I will murder Sonata if you don't tell me."
"You won't!" Aria looked shocked.
"Play me." Yellow Coat Aria dared.
"I don't know. Now, don't touch Sonata." Aria got up and headed to the door.
"Even after your own sister insulted you and Sunset on the stand?" Yellow Coat smiled. Aria slowly turned around. "I was there. Too busy being teary eyed to notice?"
"Your sister. I know that wasn't my Sonata." Aria said as she slammed the door so hard the little glass window shattered.
"You bitch!" Sweetie yelled at Allegro/Sonatas Human counterpart.
"I was speaking the truth." She said, flipping threw a dictionary.
"The truth. Don't let your mind wander, it's to small to be put on its own." Sweetie Belle shut the dictionary on Allegro fingers. She ouched and looked up.
"Mirrors don't talk, lucky for you my friend, they don't laughed." Allegro opened the dictionary
"Your one to talk!"
"It's make up, Sweetie." Allegro put the dictionary away.
"Your a lier. And I'll make pay. I know your secrets!" Sweetie flipped her curly hair and stompped away.
"That's what Sunset said," Sweetie Belle ignored Sonata/Allegro's comment. Or did she...
As soon as Sweetie left, Sonata/Allegro picked her phone up. "She's at her house, make your move."
* * *
"Sweetie Belle? F?" Scootaloo snickered. "That's bull."
"Why'd she break in? Lock Sonata in like a dog. Was it you?" Rarity questioned.
"WHAT?" Scootaloo calmed down. "I have no idea why she did it." She lied.
"Okay. But you're the one who is going to talk to her." Sunset uncrossed her arms.
"Why not Applebloom-"
"Have I made myself clear?" Sunset interrupted.
"Crystal." Scootaloo told her. "But, do you think someone made her do it-"
Ring, Ring, Sunset picked the phone up. "It's a call from the police. Hello?" Sunset picked it up.
"You have received a call from the Jail national building. You have a call from; Aria Blaze.If you would like to take this call, press 1. To ignore, press 2." An automatic voice machine said. Sunset pressed 1.
"Aria?" she cried. "What's going on?"
"Guys, Sweeties being blackmailed I think. Or in trouble." Aria yelled into the phone.
Sunset put the phone on speaker. "Your on speaker, I'm with Rarity and Scootaloo. What do you mean she's being blackmailed?"
"Guys, Sonatas human counterpart is Allegro. She's was posing for Twilight in and experiment. She wants to put me and Sonata in jail so her and my human counterpart can run away. So Allegro or Human Sonata tricked Sweetie Belle to thinking that she would help get me out." Aria gasped for air.
"But she framed me!" Sunset told her.
"If your gone, she can be another problem to forget. Sunset, your human counterpart went missing. And I'm willing to bet Human Sonata and human me killed her and Adagio. You in jail, nobody cares or remembers your human counterpart."
"Oh my gosh," Scootaloo gasped. "You sare Adagio in a Sunset wig right? In your dreams." Sunset nodded. " What if that wasn't a dream? What if she had you clotheing and the wig on, and the two human sirens though Adagio was there Sunset, not Adagio? You do look simular from a distance."
"They would have killed the wrong person." Rarity gasped. "But this all still makes no sence."
"Sweetie Belle, with this information could easily piece it together and I think she might have, so she's there next target. Rarity, she's not safe. She's probably the next one to... the grave. Go now!" Aria cried. Sunset ran to her car with the other 2 and pulled her breaks.
* * *
"Sweetie Belle, I'm busy with the moved up Spring Fling, what do you need!" Applebloom shouted into her phone. She was at the school getting ready for the Spring Fling, which was tonight.
"Sonata and Arias human counterparts are killers. They killed Adagio. They're F and F.5." Sweetie whispered into her phone.
Applebloom looked around and whispered, "Flash is F.5, and he's dead."
Sweetie nodded. "Flash was a person at the wrong place at the wrong time."
"How are you sure?" Applebloom asked.
"Applebloom! Get off your phone!" Applejack called, who was hanging up streamers.
"I am, trust me. Got to go, Buttons over for the project." Sweetie said, as she hung up. She picked up the note that she had on her desk.
The truth hurts. Love F.
Sweetie Belle stared at the note for another moment until she threw the note on her desk.
"We gonna get started." Button Mash interrupted. Sweetie turned in suprise and hid the note behind her back. "Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to startle you."
"You didn't, I was getting colored pencils." Sweetie said coldly. She opened a draw room her desk and grabbed a pencil case. Then she shut the draw on her fingers. "Fuck!" She yelled, ripping her fingers out and shaking them.
"You okay?" Button asked, walked over and holding her hand.
Sweetie quickly took her hand away from Buttons. "Yeah."
"No. I know it's something. Is it the trial? I know Aria is a shitty person who acted-"
"Aria didn't kill anyone!" Sweetie yelled, knocking the colored pencils onto the floor.
"Sweetie Belle! How do you know!" Button yelled, sincerely.
"Look, I knew Flash met alot to you... but, this person is framing us..."
Button looked at her, a strange look. "Who's framing you?"
"I think its... I know... someone named F."
Button looked at her again. "Oh my god."
"What? Do you know something?"
"I didn't think she'd do this." Button had tears in his eyes.
"You know who F is?"
"Before Rainbow died, I sare Scootaloo sitting in Ms. C's study hall. She had her laptop opened and she was texting someone. I started behind her so I read the conversation, but it was the beginning of a conversation,"
"It wasn't that text." Sweetie assured, knowing it was her texting the girls as unknown Speed.
"It said, You get nothing but pain. I think. Anyways, gotta run. It was probaly nothing. I don't even think it said F, bye." And he was gone.
Sweetie Belle picked up her phone and looked back at the first text ever sent from F. A text her and Applebloom got while they were alone.
You get nothing but pain. -F.
* * *
November 14th, 6:00 am. (THE DAY ADAGIO DIED)
A girl with yellow and red hair ran threw the woods. She tugged on her short orange skirt and breathed very heavily. Sticks snapped as she continued running for her life. Snap! The girl feel onto a little hole. She breathed heavily and tugged at her jacket which was stuck on a branch.
At last, it was two late. Two girls walked over to her with an axe. The girl with and axe had her hair tied up in a sock bun, and the second had loose hair.
"Please," the girl on the ground begged. "I'm not Sunset Shimmer! It's me!"
"Likely story," the girl with the loose hair said. She looked at her sister, who had the axe. Two word shivered the girl on the floors spine. "Kill her."
"No! Please!" She begged again, tears in her eyes.
"With you gone we can be free." The girl with the axe said. "Cmon Sunset, you know there's another you around. Nobody will even know your gone. And plus, did you really think running away would forgive your crimes of framing our sister for Rainbows murder?"
The darkness of the night got darker. "Please, I'm not Sunset Shimmer! Im-"
The axe landed in her skull. The two sisters looked at eachother and smiled.
"Got that shovel?" The one who had the axe asked, swinging her yellow hoodie up. "From that maze, or cage we found Sunset in?"
"Yup." The girl handed the Yellow Coat the shovel. The burried the body and left the forest.
"Guys!" Sweetie Belle gasped at Sonata, Applejack, Applebloom, and Fluttershy who were all in the library, doing research before the big dance, or Spring Fling.
"What ya need, we're preparing the dance," Applebloom asked. "And why do you look like you just ran a marathon?"
"Scootaloo... F.... water." Sweetie breathed heavily, sitting on a chair and taking Appleblooms water and drinking it.
"Huh?" They all said to Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie Belle breathed heavily once more. "Scootaloo is F."
"Hold on, legit not even an hour ago you told me Sonata and Arias human counterparts were F and F.5." Applebloom interrupted.
Sonata look confused. "My human counterpart is what now?"
"I was wrong." Sweetie concluded. "Now, Button told me he sare her send that first message, pain something something."
"Button Mash? Why'd ya believe him?" Applejack complaimed.
Sweetie Belle thought. "I guess I don't know. But still, remember Scootaloo did hate us for a few days and she told us she had also got a text from F. And then we apologized for being rude and well, ignoring her and then she created Speed. Don't you remember that? She felt bad for being F so she became Speed, but then..."
"Someone stole the game from her?" Fluttershy suggested.
Sonata nodded. "That would be ridiculous for a ten year old to kill all those people, she's weak."
"She's thirteen and she punched a locker when you can't even open one."
"Thirteen and ten are the same number."
"And you, are... an idiot." Concluded Applejack.
"Can you all shush!" Sweetie Belle demanded. The girls all went silent. "She could be F!"
"Sweetie Belle! We've been looking all over for you. Are you okay!" Scootaloo asked, putting a hand on her sholder from behind. Sweetie turned quickly and looked her friend in the eye. She same calmness in her eyes. She knew evil was behind it though.
"I gotta run." Sweetie ran to the door. Rarity stopped her when she only ran two steps.
"You can't be alone." Rarity told her.
"Why not!" Sweetie Belle shouted with anger.
"Why didn't you tell us about Allegro being Sonatas human counterpart? And her going onto the stand!"
Sweetie slapped Scootaloo without even thinking. "What the fuck! You told!"
"Sweetie Belle! Language!"
"Aria found out!" Scootaloo looked back at Rarity. "Where's Sunset?"
Rarity gulped. "You see darlings, she got arrested for helping Aria."
* * *
Cameras flashed in Sunsets face as the police took pictures of her. Sunset remained silent. She gave a solemn look at everyone. She kept that face while she put her jailsuit on, some people straightened her hair then tied it up, Officer Cadence gave her a cheap monolage, and then shoved her being bars. She sat up, doing what teachers call "Slant" in school, starting at the wall. She looked down at her combat boots. And thought.
Shit.
"Cmon Spencer." A lady demanded, opening her prison cell. "Laundry time."
"Sunset." She corrected, standing up.
"Same thing." The lady slammed the cell behind her.
"No. Not even close."
"What did you say!" The lady took Sunset and slammed her against the brick wall. Then she grabbed her collar and stood her up, like a doll. Sunset kept that same look. "I said, WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
"Spencer and Sunset are not the same. My name is Sunset Shimmer. Not Spencer."
"Now, Sunset Shimmer, tell me why your here?"
She stood still. "I was framed."
"WHY ARE YOU HERE!"
"I helped my friend Aria kill four people." Sunset eyes widened as she relized she made a mistake. "No... two people-"
"Come with me," the lady grabbed her by her collar.
Sunset gave the same look once again. Shit she thought.
* * *
"Holy shit." Sweetie Belle gasped. "Aria killed Rainbow and Adagio as well according to this."
Rarity ripped the paper out of Sweeties hand. She read the print. "Wha- what? They can't do that!"
"Aria's gonna be guilty. She's guilty. We lost. F wins." Sonata cried, putting her head in her hands.
"Her lawyer is gonna-"
"Maggie's leaving her, she told me." Sonata remarked sadly. "Aria's taking the plea."
"The plea? She is now?"
Sonata shrugged and nodded.
"Sweetie Belle, go to school." Rarity ordered.
"It's seven o'clock! It's to early-"
"GO!" Rarity roared. She heard Sweeties little heels click and then stop. "The plea?"
Sonata shrugged again. "She told me she doesn't want to, but she looks like she has no choice.
Ring ring. The two took there phones out.
She will take the Plea. Or she will be in a mazgle. -F
"A mazgle? The fuc-"
Rarity stood up to here her car alarm go off. "Sweetie!" Rarity yelled as she ran outside quickly. She sare Sweetie Belle was hiding behind her car, tears in eyes. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just sare a bird..." Sweetie Belles eyes moved to the shadow in a purple hoodie and who was spying on her in the bushes.
"A bird? You sure?" Sonata asked.
"I'm going to school." Sweetie got up and ran to the bush as Rarity and Sonata went back inside.
Sweetie Belle reached the bush. She moved threw the twigs until she sare the shadow.
It was Misty, or Mystery as she prefered. She was Appleblooms old babysitter.
"What are you doing here?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Where is Applebloom?" She said sternly.
Sweetie Belle shrugged. "Why?"
"Shes gone... she's crazy... she needs help..."
"What?"
"Aria forced her to take the bloody close, she's crazy, she needs to go to Noah Dawns."
Sweeties eyes widened. Noah's Dawn, kids say, where the nuts go.
* * *
"Aria, did you get a message last night?" Pinkie asked, taking a piece of paper out of her pockets.
"Sunsets in jail." Aria anwsered, folding laundry.
"No, it's this," Pinkie Pie showed her the paper. Aria unraveled it and looked at it.
Aisle add sea nova I dig car.
"Um... a shitty wroten Anagram?" Aria suggested, handing Pinkie the note.
"It's from Yellow Coat."
Aria's eyes widened and she looked at Pinkie Pie. "Yellow who?"
"You gotta get to the trail, go, go, go!" Pinkie cheered. "I'm coming to! I'm going to the stand! Haven't ya heard!"
Aria ignored her. "Oh goodie?"
"Sunset?" Pinkie said as a girl who resembled Sunset Shimmer walked over to them. It was Sunset.
Sunset and tears in her eyes. "We need to go to the trail."
"Did you get the message from Yellow coat? Or whoever?" Pinkie shook Sunset.
Sunset nodded, "I might know what it means. "
"What? Tell us!" Aria yelled.
"Aisle add sea nova, a magic expression from Equestria, and also a verse from The Equestrian Lullaby. Not the one you know, the one I grew up with."
"Okay, we know F is from Equestria. So? Ofcourse they know this song."
"When did we find this out?" Pinkie interrupted.
"Wait," Aria commented, ignoring Pinkie. "Me and Sonatas human counterparts can't be F if we're from Equestria."
"True." Sunset agreed. "We really got to go now."
* * *
"Applebloom?" Misty and Big Mac knocked on Appleblooms bedroom door.
"Misty, come in?" Applebloom said as a question. She got up of her bed."Um what are you-"
"Did Aria force you to?" Misty began.
"Force me to what?"
"You need help Applebloom. Your crazy." Big Mac interrupted.
Appleblooms eyes widened. "Crazy?"
"That body they found of Rainbow was a fake. I sare you, making her bloody clothe." Misty cried softy. She reached put to touch Appleblooms arm, but she declined.
"No, I didn't do that." Applebloom told them. She did. She remembered. Scootaloo began and let her finish the job.
"We found the clothe. You need to go to Noah's Dawn."
"No I don't." Applebloom concluded hiding her fear. She grabbed her chair for suport.
"Alison did it, she's perfectly fine now-"
"Alison Grace was crazy. She killed Sasha Flames because she was having a child." Applebloom told her.
"Applebloom, this is for your help. There not even pressing charges-"
"IM NOT ALISON!" Applebloom grabbed the chair and threw it across the room. It smashed into pieces as it hit the walls. Misty had moved out of the way of the chair. Applebloom didn't know what was happening, but the next thing she knew her older brother was holding her down and a nurse from Noah's Dawn was holing her down and putting her to sleep.
"Alison is..." Applebloom feel asleep.
* * *
"Are you sure about the Plea?" Maggie whispered to Aria. They were at the Trail. The faith of Arias life was about to be announced after the next witness.
"I didn't kill anyone." Aria said.
"Next to the stand." The judge announced. "Alison Grace."
"The nut?" Rarity whispered to Applejack. Applejack hit her.
"She's not a nut."
Alison strided into the room, her long brown hair with purple at the end flowing behind her. Her cold purple eyes stood out as she walked in a yellow dress that was a little lighter then her tan skin and matched her hair tie. She was perfect looking.
Sunset and Pinkie, who were next to eachother near police officers, looked at eachother.
"Alison, it's been a long time." Hanna said.
"Oh Hanna, it really has." Alisons voice was perfect as well, not high nor low.
"What is the connection with the case?" Hanna asked.
"Oh, Aria hates me," Alison lied.
"Sweetheart, I don't even know your name." Aria objected.
"Hush!" Maggie demanded.
"I'm kidding Aria. Don't take it personally I was in your shoes," Alison said politley. "But, I did see her take a shovel and murder Adagio. Poor Adagio, crying for help. It's not me! she cried. Aria didn't listen. She murdered her."
"Adagio?" Everyone asked.
"Yes, that's who she killed right?"
"No, she killed Twilight and Flash."
Alison gasped. "What! No way! I thought she killed Adagio!"
"Mistakes," Hanna narrowed her eyes to Aria. Aria sank in her seat.
"I have no idea about Flash except that she shoot her twice in the head."
Aria slammed her head down and began to cry.
In the lobby, Alison began to have a nice conversation with Hanna. They talked and laughed. Applejack was discusted she had to leave her dance she up for this. As soon as Hanna walked away, she walked over to her.
"Who the hell are you?" Applejack asked, anger in her eyes.
"Honest. And right," Alison spoke like she was full of venom. "You will all be in jail."
"One day you will be."
"No. I'm sweet Alison. No problem with me."
"You - you are a liar!" Fluttershy cried.
"I'm not a lier, you are a pretty girl, I love your hair!"
"Thank you-"
"I'm a siren." Sonata interrupted. "I am not afraid to show my fangs."
"A siren!" Alison laughed. "Don't let you mind wander, it's way to small to be out on its own!"
* * *
The time.
The waiting was over.
Arias verdict.
"Have you reached a vertict?" The judge asked. Pinkie and Sunset held hands. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Sonata did as well. Aria shook on her own two feet.
"We have." A man said. "In this case of the law, we find Aria Blaze...
Guilty...
For the murders of Rainbow Dash, Adagio Dazzle, Flash Sentrey, and Twilight Sparkle."
"Case closed!" The judge yelled, slamming his little gavel down.
Tears formed in Arias eyes and feel like waterfalls. She looked back at the rainbooms and her sister, stood up in shock. She felt the cold handcuffs be put on her wrist. She swung her head up and cried.
The girls looked over at Cadence, who nodded another officer towards the girls.
They knew what this met. They were all being arrested for helping Aria.
Sunset, Sonata, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie sat in a van, silent. The girls all tugged at there jumpsuits and ponytails. They where on their way to jail. Prison. Where they'd be for the rest of their lives. Rarity gaged and gave an uncomfortable look at her outfit. She shivered.
"These outfits are horrible. Ugh." She looked at her friends hoping she had started a conversation.
They all remind silent. "Yeah." Fluttershy piped up. "I guess."
"Who the hell is Alison Grace? We don't even know her." Sonata looked up.
"A girl who went crazy. Who else is cold?" Applejack asked, shivering. The girls all nodded in agreement.
"Aisle add sea nova I dig car." Sunset randomly said. "What else does it mean other then Equestria?"
Sonata shrugged. "Beats me."
"Did you here about the weather? Tornadoes are possible." Sunset said randomly again.
Applejack sighed. "We've gotten one tornado in the western part of the state. Never here."
"I wish there was one."
"Hey, stop that!" Pinkie said, positively. "Scootaloo, Sweetie, and Applebloom are gonna solve this!"
"No, they're not."
"Sunset cheer up dear." Rarity demanded.
"Rarity look around dear!" Sunset yelled, hurting Fluttershys eardrums. "Rainbow, Adagio, Twilight, and Flash are dead, gone! The crusaders are in obvious danger! Arias is in jail for all the murders! And guess what else? F is still out there. So no! I will not cheer up!"
Rarity was silent. "Okay. Damn."
The rumbling of the van moving stopped. The girls all looked at eachother with depression.
"Oh, great, we're there." Sonata mumbled. A few minutes passed, as the girls all sighed with annoyness.
"Why isn't anybody getting us?" Questioned Fluttershy.
Applejack shrugged "It takes time."
"To get up and walk five feet?"
Bam! A sound went against the van. "What was that?" Worried Pinkie Pie.
"Um... the wind?" Sonata said, as if it was obvious.
Rarity shook her head. "The wind or a bird?"
"Or F?" Sunset said, standing up and heading to the door. It was locked. "Help me break it down?"
"Sugarcube, that is suicide is F is out there." Applejack warned, getting up and putting a hand on her sholder.
"We can fight-"
The door swung open without warning, sending Applejack and Sunset back. The girls were frozen with fear for a moment. Then Fluttershy got up and looked out the door.
"Anyone?"
"Nope." Fluttershy anwsered. She stepped out and went to the beginning of the van. The girls all heard her scream.
"FLUTTERSHY!" They all yelled, running to the front of the truck. She stood there, looking at two men and there dead bodies. She had tears running down her face.
"Did you?"
"No," Fluttershy said, sounding like a broken radio.
"F?" Rarity called.
A shadow figure ran over with a spray gun. It was F. He or she sprayed the six with forget me spray, and the girls all fell to the ground. F, grinning, threw them all into the trunk. He or she forcefully slammed and locked the door, and then got in the front seat. They took the keys and put it into the place where you put the keys. They pulled the breaks to head to where aisle add sea nova I dig car means.
* * *
Ring, ring, ring. "Ugh," Sunset Shimmer sighed as she hit her alarm cloak, "five more minutes." The ringing was not one to reckon with, it kept ringing as it always did. Sunset sat up and looked at her calander-
Her calander wasn't there. Neither was what she thought was her alarm clock. There was no ringing. She was just thinking it.
"Hello!" She called. She stood up, still in her jailsuit. She was in a place that had walls of leaves on three sides. It looked like what Princess Twilight had descirbed as a time someone named Discord put her and her friends in a maze.
"Hello?" Sonatas voice responsed, scared. "Sunset!"
Sunset got up and ran out of the little hall. It had a dead end on one side, and two other exits. Was it a maze?
"Sunset I'm lost!" Sonata cried. "We're in a maze!"
"I got you!" Sunset ran down a random hall. After running for a few seconds, she relized it was a dead end, "Well, maybe not,"
"Fluttershy? Applejack? Pinkie Pie?" Sonatas faint voice yelled.
"Don't move!" Sonata cried. Sunset heard Sonata moving her feet. "Go down to the left!"
"Yours or mine?"
"Do I look like I know?"
"Gee beats me can't exactly see you."
"Don't move!" Sonata demanded. Sunset stood still, looking in horror at the maze. -Is this F liar?- Sunset thought. -Did he or she kidnap--
"Sunset!" Sunset turned around to see Sonata. Sonata darted towards her and I'm braced her in a hug.
"Where are we?" Sunset questioned, holding Sonatas arms.
"I think we're in F's maze." Sonata looked around, eyeing everything.
* * *
Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie woke up in a cornor of the maze. They all slowly stretched and brushed themselves off.
"Where are we?" Fluttershy yawned.
"A greenhouse?" Applejack suggested with fear in her voice.
"Greenhouses are green, darling." Rarity told Applejack.
"Did you really just say that?"
"Do you hear that?" Pinkie Pie got up. She cupped her ear with one hand. "It's piano music."
Fluttershy began to listen. "It sound like Better then ever."
"And, who's playing it?" Rarity ignored Fluttershys comment.
"Gee, maybe Pinky the ghost." Applejack sarcastically said.
"Um..." Pinkie was hushed by Rarity.
"Let's go, together." The four held onto eachother as they walked down to the spot where Better then ever was being played. All of the sudden the music was replaced with a different tune. Welcome to the show, by the dazzlings, also known as Aria, Adagio, and Sonata.
"What? Why is this song playing?" Applejack complaimed.
"It's a dead end. Guys, I think this is a maze-"
"FLUTTERSHY! SHUSH!" Pinkie yelled. She began to run threw the maze. Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack ran after her. "Pinkie! Stop!" They called.
"Guys!" Pinkie finally stopped after exhausting Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity.
The girls looked up to see a girl who had Sunsets hair and a simular skin color playing the piano. They were playing Welcome to the show. The girl, or Sunset, had a mask on. It was a mask that looked like a doll version of Sunset. The girl looked forward, and kept playing.
"Sunset?" Applejack asked. The girl stopped playing the piano and looked at the four. Looks like Sunset, Smells like her, is dressed like her, but something is off. Applejack thought.
The girl grabbed her mask and slowly began to take it off, very slowly, taking her sweet time. The girls all gasped and stepped back when they sare who the girl was.
It was Adagio Dazzle.
* * *
"You look more cheered up then I expected." Scootaloo said, focusing on opening her locker.
Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo. "I'm not. It's just my natural look. It's just," Sweetie Belle turned to her side on the lockers, "there kidnapped and it doesn't take me alot of thought to know who did this.
"I feel you." Scootaloo replied.
"Possibley you don't."
Scootaloo gave her a dirty look. "What does that mean?"
"Are you F?"
Scootaloo stared straight into her locker. She stood there for a moment and widened her eyes. Then she turned to Sweetie Belle and said in a choked up voice, "No." Scootaloo slammed her locker and began to walk away.
Sweetie Belle caught up with her. "Don't lie."
"No, I'm not F." Then Scootaloo mumbled something.
"What was that?" Sweetie asked, keeping up with Scootaloos fast walk.
"No, I'm not F." Scootaloo began to walk into their history class.
"Do you promise? Do you swear on The Crusaders? Do you swear on everything in this world? You aren't F?" Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo. Scootaloo froze midway into her step, and slowly turned around, her usual brave look.
Scootaloo nodded, tears in eyes. "It was one text. One."
* * *
"Adagio?" Rarity stuttered in shock. It was Siren Adagio Dazzle. Rarity knew this because she still had the necklace that her pendent use to be on.
"Adagio? I'm not Adagio." Adagio ensured. "I'm Sunset Shimmer." Adagio flipped her Sunset hair.
"Is Rainbow here?" Pinkie asked, huddled with worry and relief.
"Rainbow? Oh, I haven't seen her."
"Adagio! Snap it out! Did F cast you under some spell? Where are we? A maze-"
"Wow Applejack, you ask a lot of questions." Adagio stood up. "And F is our master. She gives us light, food, water. And I'm Sunset. Not Adagio."
"F is a jackass Adagio." Rarity yelled, unlady like.
"I'm not Adagio."
"F is a jackass Sunset." Rarity felt uneasy saying that.
"She's no such thing."
"We need Twilight."
"Me and Twilight spent a little time in here. But she didn't obey F. So she was punished."
"Killed?" Fluttershys eyes filled with fear.
Adagio nodded. Steps were then heard, and Sunset and Sonata came around the cornor. Sonata gasped and said "Guys!"
"Holy shit Adagio?" Sunset stopping in her path and staring Adagio in the eye. Adagio gave a horrified look as if Sunset was her human counterpart and they had just met.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! The world's loudest beeping went off repeatedly. The girls all covered there ears and screamed.
"It won't stop until she," Adagio point to Sunset, "leaves."
Sunset looked around at her friends, who were nodding for her to go.
"But-"
"What!" Applejack yelled. "Sunset, go!"
"I'm Sunset! She's an imposter!" Adagio yelled.
"Your Adagio Dazzle!" Sunset yelled. "I'm Sunset! And we are not your dolls F!"
The ringing got louder. Fluttershy began crying. Soon Sonata and Pinkie did as well. Sunset looked at all her friends and then began running away from the girls. She turned a cornor and tumbled to the ground. The beeping stopped. Sunset threw her arms to the ground and began sobbing.
"Please!" She sobbed. "Please make it stop!"
* * *
"You started F!" Sweetie Belle yelled Scootaloo.
"It was going to be one threat text." Scootaloo sighed.
"One text turned into fucking murder. Why would you even do that?"
"It was only you two." Scootaloo confessed to Sweetie Belle. "I was mad, you always shoved me away and made fun of me."
"That was for joke." Sweetie Belle said. "It was never meant to hurt you."
"It was mad, so I sent that text just to freak you out. To show you my pain. Then, I got the text, then all three of us, and I knew someone stole the game from me. That's it, I swear."
"I'm so sorry." Sweetie apologized.
"I should be a apologizing." Scootaloo hugged Sweetie Belle. "Where's Applebloom?"
"Oh yeah," Sweetie Belle left their hug. "Remember the clothe? She put blood on?" Scootaloo nodded. "Well, Misty found it, and now she's in Noah's Dawn."
Scootaloos began to shake. "Holy shit."
* * *
Sunset sat down on the cold dirt, shivering. She had no blanket, no mattress, nothing. She was freezing. This is what F calls a sleeping area? Sunset thought.
Sunset stood up when she heard footsteps. She found herself picking up her hair elastic ready to sling shot it. "Beware bitch! I got a painful weapon."
"Calm down, nuts," the girl turned the cornor. It was Adagio. "We've got five minutes."
"We're only kids who lost our way..."
"Adagio?" Sunset asked, her, Sonata, and Rarity following Adagio in the maze. Adagio had a flashlight, which she shined everwhere. "Where are we?"
"F's, well, maze." Adagio said. "Did you get the message?"
"Message?" Sonata looked confused, putting her hands in her pockets.
"Aisle add sea nova I dig car, or I dig car, I don't remember I wrote that three months."
"What does that shitty wroten Anagram mean?" Rarity scratched her head.
"Adagio is alive and scared." Adagio told them. "It's so simple tacos could solve it."
"So, your not under F's control?"
"Hell no." Adagio laughed. "F will make the sirens go off and me and Sunset meet. So, yeah."
"Why can't I be Sunset?" Sunset asked.
"Because your going to be the new Twilight."
"New? You mean she's gonna die her hair and the whole 9 yards?" Rarity said, eyeing Sunset. Adagio nodded.
"I can't believe your alive." Sonata told Adagio. "We all missed you."
"I missed you all too." Adagio smiled lightly. "How's Aria?"
"She was arrested for... your murder. And Rainbows, and Flashes, and Twilights."
"What? You guys are helpers or something? That's bullshit." Adagio looked at Rarity. "We have three minutes, stop trembling."
"I'm cold." Rarity complained.
"No, your Rarity."
"Shush Sonata," Sunset demanded. "Also, Scootaloo is Speed. Sweetie Belle is Talent, and Applebloom is Salvage."
"I know."
"You do?"
"Didn't take me long to put the puzzle together. I'm definitely smarter than her."
"So, F is a her, right?" Sonata interrupted.
"Yeah," Adagio nodded. "Or at least a mare, as it said on there birth certificate."
"Those have names, you know?" Applejack sneaked up on the girls with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"Why didn't you wake us up?" Fluttershy said, angerly.
"You looked peaceful. I didn't want to disturb you." Adagio smiled. "But there was not a name. She used whiteout." Adagio looked at the time. "We have Fourth seconds to get to our cornors. Go!" Adagio bolted.
The girls all ran threw the maze, trying to get back to there cornor of the maze before F came back, or woke up. They all made it, just in time.
* * *
"Um... hi," Scootaloo greeted to the front desk lady at Noah's Dawn. "Me and my friend would like to visit our friend."
"Are you family?" the lady asked in a boring voice.
"No." Sweetie Belle anwsered.
"Bye bye then!" The lady waved.
"Um... well, I'm her cousin." Scootaloo lied.
"Who's her?"
"Applebloom," Sweetie Belle could tell Scootaloo was getting annoyed.
"So, your an apple?" The lady stood up. "You sure?"
"Positive!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said at the same time.
"Okay. Wait here." The lady said, rolling her eyes at their lie. She typed things onto her computer. "Room 987. Enjoy crazy girl."
Scootaloo looked in annoyness." I'm guessing your family tree must be a cactus, because your a real prick." Scootaloo mumbled, walking away.
"Is this the room?" Sweetie asked, looking at the door.
"987. I belive so." Scootaloo knocked. She waited a few seconds and then knocked again. "Applebloom?"
"Shes not allowed to anwser." A voice said. The two girls turned and sare Discord.
"Why are you here?" Sweetie Belle crossed her arms. She didn't like Discord, work was way to complicated and he didn't give her much help.
"I work here," He responded, normal rude voice, "why are you two here?"
"To visit our friend." Scootaloo stepped forward. "You care because?"
"As I said, she isn't allowed to open."
"I can kick the door down if I'd like."
"I know Scootaloo. You three, always look like you have a real dark secret. It's weird, and scarey. What is the secret?"
"If we had a secret, you'd be the last person I'd tell." Sweetie Belle said, eyeing the door.
"I know. But, you know Alison Grace?"
"Shes a bitch."
"She's onto Scootaloo. Claims, she sare her leave the crime scene of Rainbows murder."
"What else did she see? A unicorn?" Scootaloo shouted.
"She has."
"Huh?" Scootaloo said, walking forward.
"She's onto you two." Discord walked away. Scootaloo stood their, anger in her body.
* * *
"Okay, today is Thursday. That means, we get to play shouts and letter's. Ever played?" Adagio asked, taking a seat.
"Yeah, maybe when I was six." Rarity looked at her friends, confused.
"The game is simple. You tell one anwser to one question. You mist anwser them. If you don't you... go to the hell hole." Adagio said, head high. "Applejack, you first. Hand me the card."
Applejack picked up her card and handed it to Adagio. Adagios face turned pale when she sare it. "Who is Salvage?"
"Um..." Applejack stared sickly at her friends. "I don't know."
The speakers made a beep.
"Its... it's me! I'm Slavage!" Sonata yelled, knowing her sister would do this.
"Okay next." Adagio put the card down.
"Please say the anwser." A Siri voice said.
"Me!" Sonata shouted once more.
The voice repeated it's sentence.
"Sunset, please anwser the question." The voice said.
Adagio looked straight into the speaker. "No!" She yelled in her angrey, mature voice.
"Sunset, please anwser the question."
"No F! I'm not Sunset! I'm Adagio Dazzle! Not Sunset Shimmer." Adagio ripped her wig off to reveal her now short, and dead straight hair. "I'm not your doll! I want to see Sunset!"
The sirens began to go off. Adagio didn't budge. "Put those sirens as loud as you can, I don't care."
Rarity stood up, taking her hands off her ears. "I will kill you."
"Rarity!" Fluttershy yelled.
"Their needs to be a fewer monsters in this world! That begins with you!"
"Let's get Sunset!" Sonata yelled, running down the maze. The girls all followed.
* * *
"Missing? What do you mean their missing?" Big Mac asked harshly to Shining Armor.
"The two men driving the van were murdered, this was obviously an escape." Shining Armor said, as if he were "on point".
"My sister wouldn't do that." Maud Pie, Pinkies sister, said, in her boring, dull voice.
"Well, they did." He corrected.
"Maybe they were kidnapped-" Big Mac was cut off by Shining Armor.
"No, maybe the girl who murdered my sister is behind this."
"Aria?" Raritys dad interrupted. "She couldn't."
"She could." Shining Armor corrected, eyeing them all.
"Who's gonna talk to her?" Maud asked, showing her worry. She easily hid her fear.
"Me," Big Mac volunteered. "She's why Applebloom is in Noah's Dawn.".
"I'll go." Raritys dad said, raising his hand as he was in school, and didn't really wanna be their. Not like he wanted to be at the police station, at all. Big Mac grabbed his keys.
"Now?"
"Eeyup."
* * *
"Your friend will take visitors." The lady told Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, who were sitting in the front lobby of Noah's Dawn.
"Thank you," Sweetie Belle said politley, standing up and following the lady into a dirty room. Scootaloo almost hesitated to walk in, but the grip of Sweetie Belles hand kept her moving. (Not a ship.)
"You've got five minutes." The lady told them, slamming the door. Scootaloo jumped a little bit as the lady slammed the door shut.
"Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle said to the girl who was sitting on the bed, clutching onto a doll. This isn't my friend- Scootaloo thought -what the hell is this?
The girl sat their, her hot pink hair that was sloppy cut up to her neck in a more sloppy ponytail. She sat in a white hospital looking nightgown, and her arm had a bandage on it. Tears rolled down the girls pale yellow face.
"Didn't think you'd Aunt let ya come." Came Appleblooms squeaky southern voice out of the girl.
"What the hell did the do to you!" Scootaloo cried. "You look like Stephanie from Lazytown! Where is my Best friend!"
"That feels nice," Sweetie Belle commented. Scootaloo slapped her in the stomach, still keeping her body towards Applebloom.
"I'm right here." Applebloom said, dropping the doll. "Their making me insane. I can't even pick up a paper without half of the room screamimg."
"Did you here?" Sweetie Belle asked, gripping Scootaloos hand harder and harder.
"Raritys mom only came here and questioned me 20 times about it. F got them. We lose."
"No, we're not giving up Applebloom. We will get you out of here." Scootaloo promised.
"No, your not." Applebloom said, looking at her friend. "F will only get you next."
"F won't hurt any of us. I let five go, no more." Scootaloo promised again.
"Have you seen Aria?" Applebloom asked. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo nodded no. "Figures. She gave me this anogram and I don't know what it means."
"I love anograms!" Sweetie Belle walked towards her friend. "Can I do it?"
"Knock yourself out." Applebloom threw the paper onto her bed. Sweetie ran at it like it was candy and took it, then she began scribbling.
"I don't get it, who tattle taled?" Scootaloo asked.
"Misty. My old fucking babysitter." Applebloom said crossly. "I'm still waiting for an apology."
"She told you I began F."
"Only sent 20 messages."
"I'm sorry. "
"For...?"
"Being a jackass-"
Sweetie screamed. "Holy shit!"
"What!" Applebloom and Scootaloo asked, walking over to their friend.
"Do you think..." Scootaloo looked at the anagram; Adagio is alive and scared.
* * *
"Sunset! Sunset!" The girls called as they scrambled around the maze looking for Sunset. Sunsets eyes opened as she sare her friends. She sat up from her sleeping on the dirt.
"Gu-Guys?" She stuttered. "Wha - at is happening?"
"We're breaking out," Rarity said as herself and Adagio helped her up. "Sunset, how long has it been sence you've had food and water?"
Sunset shrugged. "Why aren't you hurt?"
"Why would we be?" Questioned Fluttershy.
"The, letters, the information..." Sunset sounded as of she was going to fall asleep.
"Shouts and letters?" Pinkie Pie asked, very confused.
"We gotta go- *Gasp*" Adagio turned around to see she was face to face with the master, with F.
Adagio laughed worried, stepping back. F gave a cross look through her dark hoodie. She grabbed Adagio and put her Sunset mask over her face. Adagio tried to kick away as F took forget-Me-Spray and sprayed it all over the girls.
* * *
Big Mac and Raritys dad sat in the visiting toom, waiting for the more them cereal killer to come into the room. As soon as Aria walked in, hair up tied in two pigtails above her ears, arms and legs chained with cuffs, and sat in the chair. She showed no emotion once so ever.
"I'm needed?" Aria said, not as a question.
"Where are they?" Big Mac scollded.
"Who?"
"Don't play dumb."
"Dumb? You should ask Sonata if you want dumb." Aria said, flipping her pigtail.
"Don't play us. The Sonata and the Rainbooms went missing. Where are they, Aria Forte Blaze?" Rarity a dad hit his hand against the desk.
"No middle name," Aria demanded. "I don't know here they are. I didn't take the or make anyone. I know who did though. It was F."
"F?" Raritys dad had to keep himself from laughing.
"Holy shit!" Big Mac exclaimed in anger. "Your a crazy liar Aria."
Aria sat there, not amused at all. "Crazy?" Aria paused. "That's what they all think I am, right? Crazy. I know that I look as if. But I'm not. And neither is Applebloom." She make eye contact with Big Mac. "F killed Rainbow. F killed Flash." Tears rolled down her face. "F killed my sister. F isn't fake. I'm not lying. Why would I lie? I have nothing to lose but my sister and friends. F has been attacking us for more then 4 months. And, now look where I am, and look where everyone else is."
"Wait, you don't know who F is?" Raritys dad asked. Big Mac gave an annoyed look at him.
"F was-" Aria stopped. "We don't know."
"Who was F?" Big Mac demanded, still annoyed.
"Scootaloo. But she stopped. She said she wouldn't do it again, and she doesn't know it's happening now." Aria lied, leaving the Speed, Talent, and Salvage part out. "It was one text to Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, for a joke." Aria couldn't believe she was lying now.
"Okay. Thanks." The two men got up and left.
Sunset opened her sleepy eyes. She was still in her cornor of her maze. Sunset tried to get up, but fell back because she was too weak. It wasn't a dream. She though. All real as the fall formal.
That's when Sunset sare her clothe, and hair. She was wearing her normal school clothing, the jacket, the skirt. "Adagio?" She called.
Sunset felt a painful shock go up her back. Sunset jerked with pain. She stumbled to the ground, gasping for air. A few coughs got her breath back to normal. But the cough didn't stop her from feeling hungrey and thirsty. How long had it been sence she had water and food. Sunset was clueless.
Sunset felt the pain in her back again, making her jurk again with pain that couldn't be described. "Ahh!" Sunset let a yell out. "Stop it F! I'm sorry! So so sorry!
That did not work. Sunset felt a feeling in her heart that she felt alot; Fear. Sunset put her arms around he knees and began to rock herself. She began to sing to herself as the shocks continued:
"Alicorn magic *Shock* will fill the *Shock* sky..."
Meanwhile, in a room hidden in the walls/bushes of the maze, sat Fluttershy. The room was dark, and only contained a chair and table. Fluttershy sat, sobbing in the chair, in her normal clothe.
"Choose one, or all get killed." And evil, animated voice demaded. Fluttershy looked at the six switches. They all showed the names of all the girls in the maze. "Flip a switch, bitch."
Fluttershy sobbed as she quickly flipped Raritys switch up. Fluttershy put her hands to her mouth and cried "I'm so sorry Rarity!"
In the cornor Rarity sat lonely and dirty in, she felt a shock go up her spine, the same shock that felt in her cornor. "Crap!" Rarity cried in pain as she fell to the floor. She brushed her skirt of and quickly once again sat up, wanting to look mature and strong for the camera that was watching her every move. "It doesn't hurt." Rarity said to F, not even looking at the camera.
The shock, triple the pain, went up her spine to her brain. Rarity tried very hardly to not puke or faint. "Okay, it hurts! I'm sorry F stop punishing us!" Rarity cried, sobbing in her cornor. The truth was, in reality, Sunset, Rarity, Fluttershy, Sonata, Applejack, and Pinkies have been experiencing the same shock, the same pain, for more then three weeks. Adagio felt worse, being in the hell hole.
F walked into a room with a old well, at the bottom was Adagio, who haven't had food or water for three weeks. F shined a flashlight (Not the ship) onto Adagios face. Adagio stood up and looked at F.
Adagios face senced an apology. F was wrong though. "If you touch them, I will fucking destroy you, I can. I will destroy you in two seconds! I won't be your doll!"
"Oh dear," F's auto edited voice laughed. "They you won't be getting food and water, sweetheart."
* * *
"Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked, handing her friend a coke a cola. "Do you really think Adagio is alive? Or do you think it was F?"
Scootaloo opened her coke. Then she crossed her legs on the park bench. "To get honest, I have other thoughts on my brain. About another dead girl."
Sweetie looked at her friend in worry. "Rainbow Dash? You think Adagio and her are alive?" Scootaloo nodded. "Okay, maybe not Rainbow."
"We found a skeleton after 2 months, is that possible?" Scootaloo asked, sipping her coke. "It's takes more like eight years or more."
"Well, there is such thing as decay dust, I found it, when we broke into the castle, it makes body's decay like that." Sweetie Belle snapped with her fingers. "Only Alicorn can use it, thought."
Scootaloo dropped her coke. "Does that mean F is a Alicorn, or maybe not. Ugh!" Scootaloo put her head to her knees. "It's too much."
Sweetie Belle patted her friend on the back. "Yeah, but no effence, you started it."
Scootaloo looked at Sweetie Belle in hate. She got up and grabbed her bag. Then she began to walk away. "Hey!" Sweetie got up. "Get back here!"
"I'm not talking about this." She called.
"Okay, then I'm going to call Applebloom and talk with her all night and ignore you. Hope you don't get mad and F text us."
Scootaloo stopped in her path and turned around. She had the Holy Shit face on. She grabbed her bag and threw it on the ground. "You wanna go?"
"Bring it, Speed. Or, should I call you F?" Sweetie Belle laughed, as she stood up. Scootaloo darted towards Sweetie Belle and threw her on the ground. She held Sweetie down ad she stood on her knees onto of her stomach. Then she slapped her.
"Ow!" Sweetie complained.
"It was one text and you hate me!" Scootaloo screamed.
"One text killed your sister-"
"Hey hey!" A lady complained. She ripped Scootaloo off Sweetie Belle and then sat her down on the bench, then did the same for Sweetie.
"That was real physical." The girl said. "You should talk."
Scootaloo roller her eyes. "No."
"She's a bitch." Sweetie Belle commented, pointing to Scootaloo.
"Best friends fight, but they always stick together." The girl assured as if she was one of those BFFs on TV. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo thought about her words.
"I'm sorry." Scootaloo spoke after a few seconds. "I did this. I need to fix it."
"And there is nothing wrong with asking for help. Nobody has all the anwsers. I know you still got alot of fight left in you." Sweetie Belle said.
"Forgiveness?" Scootaloo begged. Sweetie Belle nodded.
"Good girls." The lady said.
"Wait, why do I recognize you?' Sweetie Belle asked.
"You bitch!" Scootaloo said out of thin air. "Your Alison Grace! Fucking bitch."
"Oh I'm not a bitch, I've learned from my mistakes." Alison turned to Sweetie Belle. "Your sistet and friends are runaways huh?"
Scootaloo stood up. "Take that phrase "not a bitch" and shove it up your ass Alison.".
* * *
"Applebloom, if you know something, you need to tell me. I'm a lawyer." Scootaloos Aunt said. Scootaloos Aunt was her guardian. Scootaloos dad was at war and her mom ran away, and is most likely dead.
Applebloom pulled at her short hair and then shouted, "If I knew where they were, they wouldn't be missing."
"Don't lie, I'm a lawyer." Repeated Scootaloos Aunt.
"I could care less your a lawyer." Applebloom rudely said. "If your such a good lawyer, get Aria out of jail."
"She's a killer."
"No, F is a killer! I know she told Big Mac and Raritys father that. And I'm gonna say it again because it's true."
"No Aria is a killer."
"She is not. And-"
"I could care less. Anywho, Aria isn't a killer, F is. F isn't in jail."
"F is sitting in jail, and the rest of the alphabet should be as well."
Applebloom widened her eyes. "You mean you believe the dazzlings and rainbooms are guilty?"
"I have a feeling Adagio was more then a killer."
"And I have a feeling your an idiot. Please get out." Applebloom demanded.
* * *
"Ahhh!" Sunset screamed at the shock. She began pending at the floor. "Make it stop!"
"Please leave your corner." The automatic voice said. Sunset looked up from her pain. She stood up, weak and wobbley, and began to walk.
What did F do? Where is everybody? What day is it? Sunset Shimmer thought, walking out of her corner. Soon as she left her corner, she was face to face with her friends, who looked like they've seen better days.
"What happened to us?" Fluttershy asked with tears in her eyes.
Rarity shrugged. "I would prefer not to talk about what happened in there."
"Me neither ya'll." Applejack agreed, crossing her arms.
Sonata looked around in worry. "Where's Dagi?"
"I have no clue." Sunset anwsered.
"Maybe that hell hole she was talking about." Pinkies voice sounded sad.
"We need to find her." Sonata Dusk demanded. Sonata twitched then feel to the ground in pain as the painful shock went up her back. "Or not..."
"What the hell do we do?" Sunset said loudly.
"If only Twilight were here-"
"But she's not, Applejack. She's dead." Sunset crossed her arms.
"Well that month killed us all inside." Fluttershy pouted.
"We've been here for a month!" Sonata screamed.
"Fuck this!" Rarity exclaimed in anger. Then she turned to what looked like a camera. "And fuck you! Don't you dare touch Sweetie Belle!"
"Shut up!" Applejack demanded.
"Why? I don't want her to get hurt."
"You tell want F to know who Talent is?"
"Holy shit bomb that's perfect! Right Infront of the camera why don't you?" Sunset yelled.
"Talent is know." The voice shouted. Raritys eyes opened in worry.
"You touch one little piece of her you'll be a dead son of a bitch!" Rarity grabbed a pebble and threw it at the camera.
"Hey, at least she doesn't know Scootaloo is Speed and Salvage is Applebloom." Pinkie Pie said, positively, not having a clue what she had done.
"You have to be fuckin' kidding me." Applejack nodded in disbelief.
"Thank you." The voice said. The girls could tell F was laughing being that camera. And they weren't wrong.
F turned around in her chair, facing away from the multiple cameras. She smiled a grim evil smile. "Game on, Scootaloo."
F pressed a button, sending a shock up everyone's spine, including Adagio. Then laughed a little bit.
"Ah!" The girls all yelled.
* * *
Aria came into the room, chained up, sad looking, and worst of all: she looked like she had accepted she was a killer. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked in regret and feel for her. Aria slumped in her chair and rudely asked, "Whatcha want?"
"We think she's alive." Sweetie Belle blurted out. Scootaloo elbowed her in the ribs.
Arias eyes widened, "Who?"
"Fucking bob the builder!" Scootaloo yelled in sarcasm. "Your sister! Adagio!"
"Are you serious?" Aria breathed with happiness, "you mean, I could get out of this hell hole?"
"That's and you care about?" Sweetie Belle looked in disbelief.
"No, I've been thinking if I could get out of jail, I could find them." Aria exclaimed.
"Whatever. And also to anwser your rather rude question, you are still stuck to three other murders."
"Tell the police about F!"
"They won't believe us!" Scootaloo shouted, grinding her teeth.
"We need to tell them, Scoots." Sweetie Belle put her hand on Scootaloos sholder. She quickly brushed it off.
"I told Big Mac and Raritys father. They were inconsiderated." Aria crossed her arms.
"What the-?" Scootaloos voice faded. "You didn't mention me? Right?"
"How you were F..." Aria sare hell coming her way from a 13 year old.
"Perfect... just perfect." Scootaloo slammed her chair into the table. "BTW, you are the reason Twilight Sparkle is dead, both of them."
Scootaloo slammed the door shut leaving Sweetie and Aria alone. "If Adagio is alive," Aria began, "Can you please try to save her and the rest?"
"Ofcourse." Sweetie Belle promised.
"And tell Scootaloo I'm sorry."
Sweetie Belle nodded again.
The door slammed open immediately. In came Shining Armor, hold Scootaloo by her sweatshirt. She threw her do a chair. "What's up?" Aria demanded.
"We listened to that whole conversation. Who the hell is F?" Shining Armor yelled, spitting a little.
"Why you easdropping all of a sudden?" Aria stood up angerly.
"We just found Spitfire, dead, in Sunset Shimmers clothe. Who is F?"
* * *
"I can't! I just can't!" Fleetfoot cried at the crime scene where her best friend laid dead.
Misty put an arm on her sholder. "It's all right,"
"No its not!" Fleetfoot swung around. "She's gone! Spitfire is gone!"
"It's think I know who did this. Will you 100% help me to find this person?" Misty stared at Fleetfoot. "And you can't tell anyone."
"Who!" She yelled. Misty put her finger to her lip. Then she leaned in and whispered a name. Fleetfoot gasped in suprise. "No, it's not-"
"Let's just see if we can find her." Misty said. Misty reached her purse and pulled out a piece of paper. "And I know the first place to begin."
"Us two? That's it?" Fleetfoot moved uncomfortably.
"Alison Grace will help us." Misty demanded. She turned around in a new, mean, sassy way and walked away.
Cadence stirred her coffee. "One of you three better speak now."
"I told Big Mac about F and her or his unknown identity. I won't repeat it." Aria demanded, crossing her arms. "Do you know already?"
"We do. But why didn't you say any-"
Scootaloo uncrossed her arms and yelled, "Because you called Aria a pile of crap!"
"Never did I say such things," Cadence sipped her coffee. "Now begin speaking."
"F started attacking the girls right before the Rainbow died. The girls all thought it was a joke but soon relized they were mistaking." Sweetie Belle said apologetically. "Then, they believed Adagio did this, and they were wrong. Then, Adagio died. Then Aria was framed and," Sweetie Belle whipped a fake tear from her eye. She was acting as a girl Scootaloo hated at school. "It's awful!"
"What's your girl a connection?" Cadence asked, only Scootaloo.
"We knew Aria didn't do it. Applebloom also is being framed." Aria felt sick watching Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle lie. TO POLICE!
"We'll get Applebloom." Cadence looked at Aria. "But are you two ladies sure Aria isn't F?"
"Go fu-"
"F forced her to steel stuff. He would kill her if she didn't. Aria did it so nobody got hurt. Then F killed Flash and Adagio. You gotta believe us." Scootaloo begged.
"I do. But Aria was proven guilty," Cadence got up and walked away.
"Yes. And the weather said it was going to rain. Did it rain?" Scootaloo asked in anger.
"Yes, it did rain, your point?" Cadence laughed a little.
"We can't predict the future nor know the past. We can only make a good today, and that starts with saving the seven."
"Six. Sonata, Sunset, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy." Cadence corrected.
"Seven," Sweetie Belle spun around. "We think Adagio is alive."
"Your wrong!" Cadence shouted. "All that blood and-"
"Did we find a body? No smart stuff!" Scootaloo crossed her arms.
"We found a body."
"We found an anogram, something F sent us a long time ago. The anogram spells she is alive and scared."
"You're wrong!" She shouted again.
"Give them a chance!" Aria shouted.
"I hacked into the files of this office and found the blood was enough for someone to survive." Scootaloo grinned in pride.
Cadence crossed her arms. "You just admitted to breaking the law."
"You also lied to us. A body was never found. That's against the law." Scootaloo slammed the door shut behind her.
* * *
"This isn't right Misty. This is against the law. Why can't we meet Alison at a tea store?" Fleetfoot asked.
"You are aware that Alison Grace is crazy, correct?" Misty asked.
"And what will tea do to her? This old pizza place scares me."
"It was a horror attraction that burnt down a few months ago. Something like Fright something."
"It's called Fazbear Fright, it's not even scarey." Alison Grace flipped her long hair.
"Ali!" Misty hugged her, and Alison hugged back. Misty stepped back and introduced Fleetfoot.
"Will we catch her?" She asked. "And avenge my friend?"
"Fleetfoot, we'll kill her." Alison said in her sweet voice as Fleetfoot felt more disturbed.
"Do you not want to do it?" Misty asked.
"It's murder of course not." Fleetfoot began to walk away.
"We'll get away with it!" Alison broke her sweetness.
"Okay coconuts." Fleetfoot looked back.
"Let's begin," Misty broke her silents.
"Aria and Sonata need to get here,"
"Um... they can?" Fleetfoot asked.
"Yeah. They have twins."
"We really do." Yellow Coat Aria's high heels clicked on the ground as her and Allegro/Sonata walked in.
"Oh.. this is off." Fleetfoot looked around. "Is this a good idea?"
"Perfect." Alison promised. "We need to kidnapped Salvage."
"Salvage?"
Alison looked at her as if she was a moron. "Applebloom."
"Oh."
Little did these five know that behind one of the doors, Applebloom had her blonde wig on, green jacket, and her whole Salvage uniform. Many thoughts crossed her mind. She twisted the gun in her hand, thinking if she should shoot of not. She's was free from Noah's Dawn, but she had left without being picked up.
She knew that Adagio had to be alive. She picked up her phone and typed as she climbed out a window. When she felt something, she looked back and sare something grabbing her leg. It's wasn't her friends. It wasn't F. It was an animatronic.
"Your out of uniform..." the green bunny said. (WHEN YOU'RE OUT OF IDEAS!!)
* * *
"Prepare Rainbow Dashs cornor." The automatic voice demanded.
"Rainbow?" Applejack eyes widened. "She's here?"
"Possibley." Sunset said stepping into Rainbows cornor. She looked at the little box of toys F left in her cornor. The box had some balls, a few pillows, and some balloons.
"Why does she get toys?" Sonata pouted, crossing her arms like a child.
"Does it matter?" Fluttershy took a few soccer balls out of the box. Pinkie Pie took a balloon out of the box, along with a sharpie. She blew the balloon and scribbled something the camera and girls couldn't see.
"You can't send a balloon message. There's a ceiling." Fluttershy pointed out, taking put a book with the letters T.S on them. She examined it and put it down slowly, feeling magic in it.
"No, look what I drew crazy!" Pinkie faced away from the camera. Pinkie didn't draw anything. Only a sentence. Alison is F.
"We don't even know her!" Sonata cried, popping the balloon.
"How are you sure?" Sunset asked, glancing at the camera.
"Alison doesn't have parents and she came out on no where. See where I am heading!"
Applejack knew shocks were coming. "Alison was in Noah's Dawn when Rainbow was killed,"
"Prepare the cornor." The voice demanded, sending the shock up their spines.
"No Alison!" Sunset ran out of her cornor. "Pinkie! Where is the hell hole?"
"Why?"
"We're breaking out of here. Now. Nothing will stop us." Sunset gave the threw a rock at the camera, breaking it.
"Alison will." Rarity cried.
"No." Sonata opened her eyes. They flashed a red color.
"What's wrong?" they all asked.
"It's not Alison," Sonata took a necklace simular to the dazzlings out of the box of toys. "It's Harmony."
"Who?" Sunset gave her friend a concerned look.
"It's still coming back." Sonata stood up. "Me, Aria and Adagio where brain washed. It wasn't us three it was the four of us. Harmony is a siren. She wasn't banished. And... the legend of F."
"What the hell is the legend of F?" Applejack asked.
"If one of the Elements of Harmony where broken, the elements of F would restore them. The six elements are mature, strenght, joy, determine, calmness, and bravery." Sonata put her hands to her face. "That's all I remember."
Sunset thought back to when she first meant the dazzlings."That's why you guys lost to us during the battle of the bands. You had enough to transform but were missing a forth of your power."
"I have another sister." Sonata had tears rolling down her face. "Who hates me."
"Dear, you didn't pull that memory out of thin air, why do you remember now?" Rarity patted Sonatas back.
"That necklace and my whole childhood flash through my mind, it was really scarey."
"Harmony... Harmony Flames." Sunset looked up. "Oh my gosh."
* * *
"Let go off me you, bunny!" Applebloom kicked at the robot multiple times. The robot was very short and went up to her legs. It smelled like a dead body and looked like it had been dipped in a sewer. But Applebloom knew the sad truth was she was a loss to this bunny.
The bunny grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Applebloom looked up and sare a suit that was dripping blood. She went white.
That's when she heard ringing. It was very soft, but she heard it. What the... Applebloom thought.
She grabbed a very long metal beam and used all her might to pick it up and throw it at the bunny, knocking it out. "Fuck this."
She ripped out her cell phone and jumped out the window as planned. The phone didn't have to ring because Scootaloo picked it up immediately.
"Where are you?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom could tell they where outside because the wind.
"I was in Fazfuck Frights." Applebloom yawned. "Being tackled by the green monster."
"Funny." Scootaloo said. "Look, go to Cherry Crates Barn."
"Why?" Applebloom walked closer to the ringing. "No, come to..." Applebloom looked at a sign. "I'm there."
"Well you're fast." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle began walking faster.
"There's a note." Applebloom reached for the note. "Welcome to the farm, Applebloom. Or should I say Salvage. I know who you are so watch you ass. -F."
"Holy shit they told." Sweetie Belle put her hand to her head in fear.
"I see you." Scootaloo hung up. She gave Sweetie Belle her phone and continued walking.
Two minutes, the three were united. "Where is Aria?" Applebloom asked.
"She's driving here to meet up with us." Scootaloo crossed her arms. "Is that ringing?"
"Yeah." Applebloom nodded. "Is have no clue where it's coming from."
Sweetie piped up sadly,"They've been gone for a week and a half, do you think their okay?"
"F won't kill them. F wants me," Scootaloo checked the time. "It's late."
"And chilly. This cloak doesn't help." Sweetie Belle said, shivering.
"Oh Aria, where are you?"
* * *
Aria drove in her car to meet the three. She sat lonely, in her car and on the street. The police and told her she would be free if Adagio was alive. For now she was on bail. She felt as if she was a prisoner, though.
"Turn left.
Turn right.
Turn around." Aria's GPS demanded.
"Around?" Aria questioned. "My destination isn't around."
"Turn around in your seat of Adagio dies. For real this time." The voice comanded. Aria unplugged her GPS and did as told. In the back seat was a note reading: Your mine now, Rainbow! -F
Next to the note was Rainbows normal school clothe. Aria knew exactly what to do. Or what F wanted her to do. Play dress up? No. Be Rainbow Dash.
* * *
"Harmony Flames was a really smart unicorn I knew." Sunset yelled over the ringing as she tried to race her way threw the maze to find Adagio.
"So she was a Siren then unicorn?" Pinkie questioned.
"No, when me and Aria went to Equestria to find out the princess was dead, she was a pony because she didn't have her pendent. I think the same happened with Harmony."
"Did Harmony keep being a Siren a secret?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah, now, where the hell is the hell hole?"
"I can't hear you the siren will only get louder." Fluttershy cried.
Pinkie pointed at a little room in the side of the wall. "There!"
Sunset kicked the door down and ran into the room. It was utter darkness. Sunset didn't know if her eyes where open or closed. She put her arms touched the wall to see if there was a light switch or anything, but the misfortune was real.
Sonata felt her head hit against something. It was a flash light. "Guys!" She picked it up and threw it at... Sunsets face? No, it was Raritys face. She stepped back and looked at her in anger. "Seriously Sonata!"
"I can't see! Sorry!" Sonata shouted. Sonata kept walking until she felt the ground disappear under her. The flash light was on just in time, so Applejack managed to grab her. Sunset flashed the light onto a girl at the bottom of the hell hole. Struggling, she started up and looked at the six. The girl was Adagio.
"Guys?" Her tierd, sick voice cried quietly. "Are we free?". The girls all nodded. Adagio began to cry with joy. Applejack grabbed a rope and told Adagio to climb up it.
"I'm weak." Explained Adagio. "I can't."
"We've got you." Pinkie Pie yelled, as if the hole was 70 feet deep.
* * *
"Guys?" Aria's nervous voice cried as she ran in the cold, dirty forest in Rainbow Dash's clotheing. "Applebloom? Scootaloo?"
"Aria!" The three ran over to her. "Why are you wearing Rainbows clothe?"
"F is making me her doll I guess." Aria paused. "Is that ringing?"
Sweetie Belle looked over at an old library. "It's coming from the Golden Oak Library."
"A library? Great we get to learn." Scootaloo said as if it was the worst thing ever, not thinking of the friends she had who were kidnapped.
Aria, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle ran to the library. The door was locked and all the windows were too. Or, where they locked?
"Are those leaves?" Applebloom asked, examining the green leaves that seemed to be stuck together.
"Ms. Cheerilie said it's a rare brush possibly from another world. For amusement." Scootaloo snickered, thinking about her backstabbing teacher.
Aria pulled the door.Her eyes widened so she let go. The door began to bang. "Guys I think they're there!"
The crusaders kept helping her pull the door. On the other side of the door, Adagio, Sunset, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Sonata kept pushing and banging on the door.
"It's not opening!" Sunset cried, litterly. "F will get here any minute! We wont make it!"
"We will make it!" Pinkie Pie yelled joyfully. She kept pushing the door. "Think positive!"
"My! I hear footsteps!" Raritys heart felt fear and she couldn't help but look at the hall.
"I hear them!" Aria kept pulling on the door.
"We can!" Applebloom gasped for air.
"So close!" Adagio banged her head on the door.
Snap! All eleven girls looked up on both sides. The door flew off its hinges and onto the ground. The kidnapped girls ran and immediately embraced the Crusaders and Aria. It was emotional and happy. :)
Adagio met a gaze with Aria, who she was hugging tightly. So tightly, Aria could barley breath. Sonata almost knocked them both down when she basically jumped on them. Adagio did something she hadn't done in a long, long time. Smile.
Fluttershy ran up to Applebloom. "We know-"
Sunset and Rarity looked at The Crusaders in sorrow, cutting off Fluttershy. "F knows who you are."
"We know." Scootaloo scanned the area before grabbing Sweetie Belle and Appleblooms hands and running into the forest.
"Where are you going?" Fluttershy called. Scootaloo shrugged and kept running. They where gone just in time for the announcement.
"Someone else is down there!"
Sunset, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all looked over in shock, having one person in mind of who it would be. "Is it Rainbow Dash?" Sunset whispered.
"Maybe she was the Twilight and F didnt kill her." Adagio stated, lowering her eyes.
"Are you going to grow you hair out?" Aria asked, her eyes sparkling in the night.
Adagio shrugged. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Aria ran down into the maze, without caring. She heard her friends try to stop her, but she needed to know who this person was. Sonata wasn't the only one who remembered Harmony in a flashback. She needed to know who this was.
In the maze, a girl sat shriveled up in a cornor. When Arias loud boots hit the floor and she entered what looked more like a prison then a maze, the girl jumped to her feet and grabbed a pebble.
"Calm down, your safe, the police are here," Aria had no clue how to calm her down. "How long have you been here?"
"13 years." She responded quickly, as if Aria was a sergeant.
Aria looked in horror. She didn't think to ask, "Okay... what's your name?"
"Sasha Flames." She replied. Sasha Flames was the girl Alison killed.
"Family? Any family?" Aria felt her hands, they were sweating. She sat on the stone bench Sasha was on.
"A sister who could be anywhere and a husband maybe," Sasha itched her long purple hair. "I was brain washed and can only remember my daughter's name as well as mine. Are we in East Carolina?"
East Carolina, Aria said in her head, You and Sonata would get alone great. "What's your daughters name?"
"Um..." Sasha paused. "Scootaloo."
Aria sat in a chair, looking at her phone and then giving a few glances at her sisters, who were in hospital beds. Hospital timers beeped silently as she tapped her foot against the floor in rythme. The monster who had kidnapped them is still out there, Aria said to herself in her head, I'm not leaving their side.
"Aria Blaze." Aria jerked her head up and slumped back in her chair before looking at the door. It was Soarin.
"Shit heads aren't aloud in this room." Aria didn't look at him, she just flipped threw a magazine.
"There are 3 of them in here." Soarin snickered, leaning against the door.
"I'm sorry about Spitfire." Aria said in her moody, uncaring way. She put the magazine down and crossed her arms, waiting for his response.
Soarin scratched his head. "Thanks, I guess."
"How's Fleetfoot?" Aria asked, standing up and walking to the door.
"Hanging out with Misty and Ali." Soarin paused and looked over Arias sholder. "Looks like Adagio is waking up."
Aria turned to see she was, "Thanks.". Soarin nodded and walked away. "You waking up?"
"Why was Soarin here?" Adagio yawned and sat up.
"I don't know. You going to take another nap?"
Adagio nodded. "I'm real tierd. Are the police here?"
"Haven't left all day." Aria's mind trailed to another thought. There human counterparts. "You never told me your human counterpart can to visit you in jail."
"Well, I though you'd flip out. So I said nothing." Adagio reached for her water bottle.
"My human counterpart visited me in jail, to thank me for ruining her life. Do you remember when-" Aria looked at Sonata, who was blinking. "You've been up this whole time Sonata, haven't you?"
"Your talking about human counterparts, figures." Sonata piped up, rolling over to face the two.
"Read, dip." Aria threw a newspaper at Sonata.
Adagio looked at Aria in disappointment. "She'll probably make a paper hat out of that."
"So?" Aria shrugged. "As I was saying, do you think the three are involved with F?"
"Yeah, my human counterpart was killed by your two human counterparts, and they could be anywhere." Adagio relized she couldn't hold her question in anymore. The question about Harmony, Sonata explained it all to her. "Aria, who's Harmony Flames?"
Aria shrugged. "Beats me."
"Is there another siren named Harmony in our family? Your the family tree knower."
"No. There is no Harmony Flames in our family. It's us three." Aria was a very trust worthy person, but Adagio knew she was lying.
"Guys, did Sunset meet her Human Counterpart?" Sonata asked, looking at the newspaper.
"Yeah, about two months ago. Fluttershy told me she was freaking out about it." Adagio got up from her bed to grab her medicine. "Why?"
"That-that's impossible." Sonata dropped the newspaper. "Sunsets human counterpart died almost seven years ago."
"Was she lying?" Aria ripped the paper out of Sonatas hand and read.
"No, Sunset wouldn't lie." Adagio told her sisters, thinking about what they've been through. Ring ring. "Aria was that your phone?"
Aria nodded and ripped her phone. There was a message.
I'm not Flash, I'm not Arias HC, Nor Sonatas. I'm not F either. -F.5
"I think I might be sick." Adagio clutched her water bottle.
"F isn't a loner." Sonata gasped.
* * *
"F.5. Why did never get back to that?" Worried Rarity.
"Because F.5 was Flash, then Aria or Sonatas human counterparts," Sunset Shimmer said as she tied her hair into a bun.
"I though F.5 died off to be honest. F got ride of her or him." Applejack said, as she grabbed an apple.
"Well, is F.5 bad?" Fluttershy asked, cuddling Angel in her arms.
"No." Sunset said as Adagio said, "Yes." at the same time. The two looked at eachother.
"Anywho, what did Aria say about Harmony?" Sunset asked, glancing around the room.
"No Harmony in this family. She's totally lying," Adagio bit into her cream cheese sandwhich, then spit it out. "And, this taste like crap."
"Hmph." Sunset bit into her sandwhich.
"Did you lie about meeting your human counterpart, Sunset?" All four went silent.
Sunset looked at Adagio with the Bruh are you serious? face. "Ofcourse I didn't!"
"Oh." Adagio bit into her shitty cream cheese sandwhich.
"Hey Aria and Rarity." Fluttershy said as they start at there table.
"This hospital food sucks." Aria said.
"Thank you!" Adagio agreed.
"How's Scootaloo?" Applejack asked, making a throw up face at the pancake she had gotten.
"Oh... fine." Aria said.
"Why wouldn't she be?" Questioned Adagio.
"You didn't tell her about Sasha, did you?" Applejack complaimed, giving Aria the Bruh are you serious? face.
"Why does she need to know about Sasha?" Sunset commanded.
Aria sighed. "Sasha Flames is her mother, and ever time I approach her to tell her, her Aunt gets in the way. Fucking creep." Aria sipped her juice box. She made a sour face. "This taste like pee."
"How do you-"
"Shut up Rarity," Aria yelled as she got up and walked to the rest room.
Sunset got up and followed. "I got to go too."
* * *
"Scootaloo, what are you doing?" Her Aunt asked as she walked into Scootaloos room to see her moving furniture.
"High School is soon, gotta be prepared." Scootaloo gasped for air as she struggled to move her chair.
"It's June. The beginning to be exact- put it all back!" Scootaloos Aunt demanded, "And while your at it stay away from that Aria Blaze girl."
Scootaloo looked up from her struggle. "Excuse me?! Why!?"
"She must of went crazy in jail," Scootaloos Aunt walked to the door and posed sophisticatedly in her purple pants suit.
"She really didn't," Scootaloo told her Aunt as she got up and brushed of her green shorts.
"And plus, your grounded for sneaking out."
Scootaloo sighed. "Your going to ground me for sneaking out and saving how many of my friends? Seven? No, Eight!"
"Don't be like that. Also, your teacher is down stairs and wants to see you,"
"Shit, is it to talk about my detentions!" Scootaloo shouted.
"Ms. Cheerilie wants to talk to you privately." Scootaloos Aunt said, walking down the hall to her office. Scootaloo, confused, went downstairs and into her kitchen. A lady with a black hat, shades, and a huge, fluffy coat sat in her kicthen.
"Ms. Cheerilie?" Scootaloos voice faded as she stepped back.
"How did you know." The same voice as her teacher Ms. Cheerilie said. It wasn't a question.
"What?"
"Me, Big Mac, the baby, don't play dumb."
"I'm in a hospital three days a week, I sare you leave, took the files, and found out." Scootaloo bit her tounge to stop the nastiness from coming out her mouth.
"And you told. Why can't you keep your mouth shut-"
"Why can't you be honest with your students! I told Big a Mac and did the easy part for you." Scootaloo pointed to herself. Yup, she was being horrible.
"Easy part? Oh come on! Where has your mother been all these years?"
"Shes dead." Scootaloo felt all the nastiness flow out of her and saddness take control.
"Dead? Ask Aria to be honest with you. Ask about your mother to her. Please do." Ms. Cheerilie stood up. "I have places to be."
"India? Or... anywhere put public?"
"SAVE IT YOU BAG OF HAIR!"
Aria came in the front door, trying hardly not to avoid the fighting. She looked at Cheerilies shades and held her sides not to laugh. "You look like you just came out of build a bears workshop."
Scootaloo grinned, but lost that grin as her Aunts clicking high heels came down the stairs. "Shit." She said allowed.
"Aria, you're not welcome here." Scootaloos Aunt told her rudely.
"Excuse me, but I need to talk to her." Aria couldn't believe she hadn't smacked the shit out of her.
"Yeah, how about you tell her." Build - A - Bear said, patting her on the sholder.
"It can wait." Scootaloos Aunt told them as she basically pushed Aria out the door.
"No, I'd love to know now." Scootaloo got up and walked to Aria.
"Sasha-"
"GET OUT! BEFORE I HAVE YOU SHOVED IN JAIL AGAIN!" Scootaloos Aunt yelled. Ms. Cheerilie left giving Scootaloo the evil eyes threw her shades.
Aria walked past Scootaloo. "See you at the trial,"
"She's not going," Scootaloos Aunt said.
A girl with long, purple hair and pale purple skin popped her head around the cornor. "Did someone die?"
"Get back in the shower, Sabrina Ray." Scootaloo demanded, barely turning her head.
"Nobody's dead." Scootaloos Aunt assured. Sabrina Ray left and got into her shower, and began to hum a very familiar tune.
"Why not?" Aria asked.
"She's a young girl-"
"She she's 13!" Aria yelled.
"And your an evil human. Get out," Scootaloos Aunt pointed at the door.
* * *
"Don't go to the golden Oak Library." Pinkie Pie told Adagio over the phone.
"If F.5's lair is there like Applebloom said when she sent me the secret text, it's probably gonna be there." Adagio said, walking in the cold night in her normal purple outfit. She tucked on her purple long-sleeved jacket.
"Did you talk to Applebloom after that text?" Pinkie layed back on her bed.
Adagio stopped. "No, and I'm there I can't talk now."
"Okkie Dokkie Loki!" Pinkie cheered as she hung up.
Adagio tucked her phone into her leather jacket and climbed under the caution tape. Nobody was there because it was Five o'clock in the morning and every one was sleeping. Adagio put her short bangs behind her ears and knocked on the wooden moldy door. There was no responce. Adagio grew impatient very easily. She grabbed a Bobby pin in her hair and tried to pick the lock open. It still didn't open. I hate locks, Adagio thought.
She let out a long sigh before trying again. She personally didn't feel like going into a place she was kidnapped for two months was a smart idea. But she could find out who F.5 and possibly F was if she did this. While her hands were picking the lock, her mind was thinking about Aria and Sunset. Did Aria lie to her? Was there really not a forth siren? Why would Aria lie to her? Same with Sunset. She had been acting off sence they escaped the maze. Did she know something? Did she lie about her human counterpart? Why.
In the maze, she could hear everything in the hell hole. Especially Sunset. She was apologizing! And she didn't have to go into the shock room, where you pick one to be shocked or all die. Everyone did. Even Adagio. Adagio understood Aria possibly be wrong about Harmony, the three dazzlings were brainwashed. But Sunset? She had read all of the 'Daily news' newspapers. All of them, even before she came...
Wait... Adagio thought. If she read all the papers, she knew her human counterpart was dead. Maybe Aria and Sonatas human counterparts wanted to kill her to make sure she was dead... but they killed my human counterpart. Sunset was lying. Why would she do this? Adagio felt tears press on her eyes.
Being too busy in her thoughs, she hadn't relized the door had opened. She stepped in the maze, a silver blade in her hand, and ready for anything.
She stepped in, and noticed the maze was gone. It was a tiny wooden room with books. Adagio plopped the blade into her pocket, and walked over to a desk. She found more books. A yearbook of the rainbooms as freshmans, a few pictures of Scootaloo and her mom, and even worse, pictures of Adagio before the rainbooms arrived in the maze.
One of the books looked very familiar. It was a brown book with what looked like Sunsets Cutie Mark on it. She told me she lost this before I got kidnapped. Adagio thought, sipping dust off it with her hand. She opened it and began reading on a random page.
Dear F,
Aria has been arrested, Pinkies in jail.
-F.5
Adagio put the book in her bag. Then she closed her eyes. F.5 took Sunsets book and wrote to F, who's in Equestria. She also had relized Applebloom didnt send that text, it's was F. Smart son of a bitch. Adagio opened her eyes and look at the wall. There was a note.
Turn around Bitch.
-F
Adagio held her breath and stood up on her legs. She didn't want to turn around. F.5 was behind her. She slowly turned around. A person with a black hoodie, black jeans, and black combat boots stood there with her hair in a side braid.
It was Sunset Shimmer.
Adagio stood in disbelief, she couldn't move her feet. Sunset didn't move from her scared pose. Sunset barely opened her mouth to speak when Adagio bolted. She ran around Sunset and straight into the forest. She wasn't even 20 feet away when her breath died.
Minutes passed, she had not stop running in those minutes. When her high heels stopped running, the crushing of leaves and twigs didn't. Sunset was coming after her. Adagio looked around for any transportation or communication she could use. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
"Adagio?" Sunsets voice called in the forest, the twig snapping still heard.
Adagio looked up from her thoughts. She looked behind her, Sunset wasn't in the distance. Thorns pressed into Adagios leg as she climbed over a bush. Adagio bit her tounge at the pain. That's when the sign came into view. Forerunner flight trains, 8:00 pm- 6:00 am.
Adagio eyed her cell phone. It was 5:59. She could still make it. Track payed off, she ran wherever the arrows on the trees pointed, because those seemed really trustworthy. They glow, Adagio thought. City must have put them in. Finally came the yelling of the man at the front. "All abored!"
Adagio looked at the man in suprise. "I don't have cash and I need this ride-"
"Your that girl who got kidnapped right?" He asked, rubbing his mustache. Adagio nodded, gasping for breath and continuously looking back. "Hop abored, it's all right."
Adagio smiled and nodded her head to show thanks. Then she jumped abored and sat down. She was the only one on the train. It figured, it was six o'clock in the morning. The train went Choo Choo and Adagio knew it would be a long ride.
Sence Adagio was alone, she knew this would be a time to get her emotions out. She put her knees on the seat and began to sob into them. She betrayed us, she joined F! She ruined all we had. She ruined us! I thought she loved me! I was wrong. I've never been more wrong. She's a backstabber. I can never forgive her-
Adagio looked up as she felt someone sit next to her. She clutched her bag with the book and looked at the person. It was Sunset Shimmer. Adagio scooted down the seat, tears in her eyes and fear on her face.
"Adagio, Adagio, please let me explain!" Sunset begged.
"No!" Adagio cried, tears streaming down her face. "Your a liar Sunset! A betrayer!"
"I only did it to find out who F was, F.5 was always a joke, I never acknowledged the name-"
"You've been writing to F about everything! All our pains, all our secrets!" Adagio ripped the book out of her backpack. "Who is F!"
"I don't know I only have talked to her through the book, look Adagio, I will destroy the book-"
"Destroy it? DESTROY IT!" Adagios face became tomato red. "I'm going to memorize every word of this!" Sunset stood silent, tears in eyes. "I'm am never going to destroy this until F is gone, dead!"
"Adagio, I'm so sorry-"
"What was worth ruining out friendship! Our relationship!" Adagio put the book back in her bag.
Sunset nodded, tears streaming down her face, "It wasn't supposed to be this way, let me explain."
"You lied about your human counterpart! She's dead! Gone! Why did you-"
"Adagio-"
"I thought it was 100% honest!" Adagio shouted. Sunset sat silent, mouth open tears in her eyes. Adagio kept the angrey expression one her face. "I hate you Sunset!"
Those words burned in Sunset like fire. They made her body feel numb. Sunset blinked away tears, she knew this couldn't be fixed. Adagio grabbed her bag, got up, and left Sunset in the train, feeling just as she did after she got blasted into a crater by Twilight.
* * *
"So, Scootaloos Aunt won't let you tell her about Sasha?" Fluttershy asked.
"Nope." Aria said, as she helped Fluttershy unpack her hospital stuff. "Where's Adagio? And when will your mom be home?"
"She thinks you're strong so you can protect me, so she's at the grocery store. Adagio is another story." Fluttershy closed her clothe drawer.
"Your neat." Aria commented, picking up Angel Bunny.
"Thanks. Having a lot of animals, it's more like a natural habit."
"Do you think Scootaloo will find out on her own?" Aria said, getting back on topic.
"No." Fluttershy anwsered. "Well maybe. Ms Cheerilie kind of hinted it to her."
"Ms. Cheerilie was off for a real long time, before we found out Scootaloo was Speed." Aria looked at some animal books Fluttershy had. "I think she was clueless."
Fluttershy giggled. "She gives us grades for Study hall, more then clueless-" the door opened and shut in Fluttershys house. "Mom?"
High heels clicked against the floor. It wasn't Fluttershys mom, she wore flats mostly. Soon, Adagios face appeared in the door. She had obviously been crying for a long time.
Aria stood up immediately, "What's wrong?"
Adagio ran to Aria and began sobbing in her arms. Fluttershy stood up immediately and patted her sholder. "What's wrong, Adagio?"
"Shes a liar! She's a betrayer!" She cried, wiping her tears away.
"Who?" Both Aria and Fluttershy asked.
"Sunset." Adagio stopped crying to peep out that word. "She's F.5."
Aria and Fluttershy gave glances over Adagios sholder. "Are you sure?" Fluttershy felt her heart pounding. She hopped that she was wrong.
Adagio ripped the book out. "She's been writing F."
While Fluttershy read, tears formed in her eyes. "Twilight was wrong. She never changed!" Fluttershy threw the book into her bed in anger. She burried her head in her knees and let out a sob.
Aria reacted in blankness. Sunset slapped her when she said Adagio was F, Sunset was one who helped her threw Adagios 'death', Sunset had really became her good friend. Aria felt as she felt when the Rainbooms blasted her pendent into pieces.

Applebloom sat on Applejacks bed , watching her unpack, in complete silents. She fought in her mind whether of not if she should ask about what happened. Nobody yet in her family had the heart to ask anything other then 'Would you like water?" and "Are you feeling queasy?". Nobody also asked where Applebloom had magically disappeared to the night the girls escaped. She couldn't say she was helping break them out because she was Salvage because Granny or Big Mac would make her tell the police, then bam: jail.
Applejack turned around and gave her a glance. "You never told me why you took off after you saved my life."
"Scootaloo didn't want to run into trouble. Which wouldn't of happened if she just told the police about Speed, Salvage and Talent." Applebloom sighed. "Honestly, sometimes I hate her real bad. She's so bossy and she tells me I'm rude sometimes. Like bitch!" Applebloom threw clothe into the drawer, "Please."
"Well, maybe you are sometimes. You kept lying even though Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo admitted to breaking into the school." Applejack shrugged.
Applebloom nodded. "Maybe you're right. I'm probably the reason she became F."
"It was supposed to be a prank or something." Applejack zipped her suitcase up.
"I feel as if everything would be fine without me-"
"No!" Applejack cried, knowing what those words she said meant. "Don't say that!!!"
"Sunset said that while she was talking to her doctor yesterday."
"Why?" Applejack complaimed, putting her suitcase in a closet.
"Something about betrayal. And how she was scared-"
"We've got bad news." Adagio said, as her and Fluttershy appeared in the door.
"What?" Applebloom asked.
"First of all, no more unknown text to me, F texted as you smarty," Adagio threw her phone at her, "F.5 is Sunset."
"Well, that explains why she felt as a betrayer." Applejack shrugged.
"She's been writing F. About everything." Fluttershy wipped a tear away.
Applebloom stood up. "Guys, do you ever think human Sonata knew Sunset was F.5 so that's why she trashed her on the stand during the trial? To through the criminal into jail?"
"How did you come up with that so fast?" Adagio asked.
"I was thinking about Harmony, the girl Sonata told me about. And Allegro came to me. On the topic of Harmony, where's Aria?"
"Right here." Aria walked in and sat on her bed.
"Scootaloo got these files for me in Equestria. Yes she broke back into Equestria." Applebloom ripped a folder out from under her bed and headed them to Aria.
"What is this?" Aria asked.
"Are you guys sure the name is Harmony Flames? Same last name as Sasha Flames? That's physically impossible." Applebloom opened the folder.
Adagio nodded. "Me and Sonata sare it."
"Sare it. You sare the name Harmony Flames. Because F did something in there that felt like fire, you thought of Flames instead of the real last name."
"When did you get good at science?" Applejack asked, stunned.
"It's called reading," Applejack bit her tounge so she wouldn't laugh. "It's educational-"
"You read! Ha!" Applejack laughed.
"Her name is Harmony Blaze. Not Harmony Flames." Applebloom stated, crossing her legs and arms.
"Why does she have my last name? I don't even know her." Aria said, in her grumpy tone.
"Well... you see..."
Aria gave her a hurry tf up look. "Aria, Harmony is your daughter."
Aria paused for a moment then broke out into laughter. "I don't have a daughter!"
"You, Sonata, and Adagio were brainwashed." Applebloom handed Aria the files. Her expression went sick, relizing Applebloom most likely wasn't joking.
Aria took the top paper off and examined it. It was a birth certificate that clearly stated Aria Blaze was the mother of Harmony Blaze.
* * *
"It's been a real long time sence I could relax here and drink coffee." Pinkie Pie told Sonata.
Sonata nodded. "I've never had coffee."
"It makes you really, REALLY, HYPER!" The pinked hair optimist exclaimed.
"And it's making me feel sick, ugh this smells." Sonata covered her nose. "I'm gonna get a Dr. Pepper." She smiled as she got up and walked to the register.
"Hi, can I get a Dr. Pepper please?" Sonata asked the girl who had long, beautiful, curly, black hair.
"Sure." The girl said kindly, getting a can from a cooler under the register. She opened it and handed it to Sonata. Being very wet, Sonata dropped it on the ground by accident. Sonata stepped back as it did get on her skirt. Red,blood red. Sonata looked at the liquid on the floor.
She had a flashback. "Rainbow!" Fluttershy yelled as she went upstairs with Sonata. More blood, a more horrid smell. Sonata went into Rainbows bed room, which which had more blood. But not just blood, a lung, all kidneys, and a heart. Fluttershy held in her vomit as she cried the other girls names. Sonata began to call 911.
Sonata stepped back tears in her eyes, remembering the horrorid moment she truly relized F's power. The girl looked at her in a calm, suprised, confused away.
"It's okay," the girl assured. "I can get another one."
"No... no thank you." Sonata gulped down a mix of nerves and throw up. She turned around and went back to her table.
"Are you okay?" Pinkie Pie asked, standing up to comfort her.
"Not, not really." Sonata shook her head as she lead the way out of the restaurant.
"Guys?" Sunset patted Pinkies sholder.
"Hey! How's life bud?"
"Do you guys know?" Sunset had a worried expression on her face.
"Know what?" Sonata asked, wiping the last of her tears away.
"Were you going to leave them in the dark as well?" Adagio had her arms crossed, behind Sunset.
Sunset turned around to face Adagio. "I - I was going to tell them-"
Adagio leaned to her side so she could see Sonata and Pinkie. "Sunsets F.5." Adagio leaned back in. "You happy? I just did the easy part for you."
"Wait, WHAT?" Pinkie screamed.
"Can't you just leave me alone?" Sunset asked in sorrow.
"Oh gee I don't know, maybe I should, don't want to give you an essay to write to F!" Adagio yelled, not caring who heard.
"Adagio, calm down." Fluttershy told her, putting a hand on her sholder. Adagio shook it off.
"I lied about so much in the book! I only became F.5 to help find out who F was, because I cared about us! Do you know how sad I was when you died? I though you changed! After the battle of the bands, after Rainbow, after being trapped in that maze! But no Adagio! You're still the same bitch!"
Adagio gasped. "I'm the bitch? Me?"
"I thought you where a victim." Sunset paused. "I also thought 100% honest. You can begin with-"
"You can begin with shutting your mouth!" Adagio yelled, smacking Sunset across the face. Sunset reacted immediately, scratching Adagio across the face. Adagio stumbled back and then glanced at Sunset. "You fucking bitch, Shimmer!"
Adagio bolted at Sunset and threw her onto the ground. Sunset threw her down to the ground. Sunset was powerless because Adagio was so strong. Adagio slapped her repeatedly. "You-*Slap*-Are-*Slap*-A fucking- *Slap*- trator!"
"Hey, hey!" The girl at the register and another girl with medium length curly blonde hair grabbed Adagio and ripped her off of Sunset. Then Sunset tried to bolt at Adagio. The blonde girl held her back.
"Hey, hey hey!" The blonde one yelled, "is this really the solution?"
"You a traitor!" Adagio cried, trying to break the register girls grip.
"I'm sorry Adagio..." Sunset had tears in her eyes.
"That's only for show, fuck that!" Adagio broke register girls grip and then ran outside.
Sunset eyed all her friends, sorrow in her eyes but a touch of evil, then turned around and exited the shop, leaving all the girls in a new sort of fear.
Aria walked into her living room, getting ready to leave for the trial. Lets face it: none of them wanted to go. But being a complete bitch about it wouldn't solve it. Aria adjusted her curls in the mirror, flipping the into place, taking sure the teal stood out in the right places. Then she turned around to find Adagio, laying on the couch in her PJ's, watching television.
"What the hell are you doing?" Aria yelled, ripping the blanket off of Adagio.
Adagio rolled onto her stomach. "Trying to sleep."
"Get ready for the trial." Aria demanded, in her moody and tierd voice.
"I don't want to run into Sunset." Adagio yawned as she sat up and took her blanket up.
Aria sighed heavily. "None of us really want to, either, but Sonata is in the car and you sorta returned from the dead so you need to go."
"I look ugly." Adagio put the blanket over her head. Gee, this girl was going to pick any excuse out of the hat, wasn't she? Aria thought.
"Adagio,would you like the officers to get you out of bed!" Aria once again ripped the blanket off Adagio, this time sending her onto the floor.
"Ow!" Adagio screamed. "Fine, fine, I'll be down in ten minutes, freaking brat."
"Five, we have-"
"Don't push it."
* * *
"Why are you late?" Maggie asked Aria as her and the rest of the dazzlings walked into the court room.
"I woke up late. Sorry." Adagio apologized, longing to go back to sleep.
Maggie crossed her arms. "You all better be."
"How are we having a trial?" Sonata questioned, putting her phone in her pocket.
Maggie gave Sonata a careless look. "What do you mean?"
"Nobody was arrested," Aria stated, flipping her curls. "So, no one is being convicted."
"We're going to use the information you provide to us during the trial today to see if anybody possibly matches information." Maggie held her head high, turned sturnely, and marched her water to the court room.
"Maggie!" Adagio ran after her, in high heels, obviously having something important to say.
She made her sharp turn around. "Yes Dazzle?"
"I sare a face," Adagio lied.
Maggie made her sharp turn. "For the court."
Aria gave her sister a shit filled look. "You better not say Sunset."
"She was in the hoodie!"
"So where you when you broke into Rainbows. Remember when they accused you? Take that feeling and multiply it by 500. That's how Sunset feels."
"Your taking her side?" Sonata yelled, backing to Adagio.
"Did you even read the book?" Aria asked Adagio.
"No, but-"
"I did. All night. She lied about so much in that book, she didn't mention Speed, Talent, or anything! She lied to F about Rainbow, saying she wasn't hacking, and guess what! She also said that she loved you, and you'll do anything to protect us, especially you! Now don't you feel a tiny guilty? Or are you still that evil sack of shit from the battle of the bands?" Aria had tears streaming down her face along with Adagio. Adagio turned around and ran to the bathroom. Aria and Sonata followed.
Adagio looked at herself in the mirror with nothing but depression. Aria was now the one who felt guilt. And now Adagio was screwed. "Adagio I'm-"
"Don't apologize Aria," Adagio said quickly, choking on tears. "You're right. I was a bitch to Sunset. She will never forgive me. You two deserve better then this."
Adagio began to break out in a sob. Aria had never seen her cry like this, it scared both herself and Sonata. It was one of the most depressing things she'd ever witness. And it hurt her insides. Suddenly, Adagio found Aria sobbing in her arms. Adagio hugged her tightly, feeling her tears dry away and her smile.
Aria wipped the last of her tears away. "I love you sis."
"I love you too." Adagio smiled, grabbing Sonata and engaging her in the group hug.
* * *
Sunset found herself sitting alone, waiting for the stupid trial nobody gave a Damn about to begin. The funny feeling of all of her old friends staring at her took her over, making a shiver go up her spine. She looked over to see Adagio clearly having a little 'assembley' because all six where looking at her. And Adagio were lips were moving. Nonstop. For about ten minutes.
They think there slik. Sunset thought, watching them give her glances. But, the glances weren't hate. They were apologetic. Why don't I like this? Adagio then got up, crawling over Rarity and Pinkie Pie, and scooted into the seat next to Sunset.
Sunset looked down. "I get it. You hate me. Don't need a reminder."
Adagio ripped Sunset out of her focus and kissed her. Sunset quickly stumbled back and gave her a horrified look. "What was that?"
"I get not good at apologizing," Adagio began, blushing. "But we're all sorry. I read the book. You were really trying to help. Nobody has ever done that for me, you were protect-"
"I forgive you. I have done research. F didn't kill Flash. I know who did." Sunset put a piece of hair behind her ear.
"I tried escaping many times. I got really lucky that day and got my hand on a gun. I killed him. It was me." Adagio felt a relief revealing the truth, but Sunsets expression looked invalid.
"I was gonna say Spitfire." Sunset said, eyes widened. "You did it?"
Adagio put her pointer finger to her lip. "A clever young girl once said Secrets are like weapons, they can backfire at anytime."
"Are you going to confess?" Sunset asked, curling her bangs with her hair.
Adagio nodded. "If you do about helping, I will about killing. I'll go with you anywhere."
"Sorry to split up this act of love," Rarity interrupted, scooting onto Adagios seat. "But the trials staring, and we have two empty seats that are getting cold and lonely."
Adagio and Sunset smiled and moved into those two empty seats.
"Okay," the judge demanded after seven minutes, "our first wittness?"
"Yes, her name is Octavia Melody." Maggie yelled, reading off a list.
Adagio turned around. "Holy shit," she began tapping Arias sholder. "You better have told Scootaloo about Sasha Flames."
Aria spun around and looked at Adagio was looking at. It was nothing, nothing but Scootaloo and the other two crusaders only sitting two feet away from Sasha Flames. Shit. Aria panicked in her head.
"Now," Hanna asked, flipping her long blonde hair back. "What's your story?"
"I was arrested and framed for going into my school and destroying property." Octavia reminded every one in the room, if she hadn't been hanging out fliers saying this. "By a selfish brat.". Applejack tried to see who she was making eye contact with. "By her."
Octavia was pointing to Applebloom. Applebloom bit her lip but gave a You are lying fave to Octavia.
"By whom?" Hanna was even lost, thinking how could a thirteen year old do that?
"Applebloom." Octavia said, acting like Alison. "She was angrey with her teacher for some reason that involved lying. And her two friends are covering,"
"Are you kidding me?" Scootaloo screamed, jaw hanging.
"Don't play dumb." Octavia demanded, leaving Scootaloo with the same expression.
"Is that all?" Hanna asked.
"Yes." Octavia got off the stand and walked slyly pasted the crusaders, a look screaming Bite me!
"Okay, that was strange. Next to the stand?" Hanna said, shaking every detail of Octavia Melody out of her mind.
"Yes," Maggie shuffled papers. "The court calls Adagio Dazzle."
Adagio stood up and took no time to give anybody glances.
"You were in that maze for how long?" Hanna asked.
"Two months." Adagio told her, thinking about 100% honest.
"And this 'F' made you into a Sunset?". Hanna heard Misty snicker, turning her head to her. Misty leaned down, as if she was being caught it school for talking.
"Yes, or into a doll." Adagio corrected.
"Did F or whoever, take there mask off?"
"No?"
Maggie looked shocked as Hanna repeated the question. "Did you see a face?"
"No. I sare it in a dream, but it was fake because it looked like Flash and he's dead."
"And you realized that now?" Maggie called, obviously annoyed.
Adagio was quite. "Next question please?"
"Oh um... was there any conversation that could help us?" Hanna said, taking deep breath.
"No." Adagio said.
"Thank you." Hanna said. "Next to the stand, Sasha Flames.".
Sasha got up and began walking towards the stand. Aria kept signaling her not to get up or move, making what looked like a fit out off it. She knew Scootaloo would find out now.
"Adagio, you can get up." Maggie told her, giggling her a confused look.
Adagio nodded, looking at Aria mouthing words. "I like this chair."
Aria face palmed. "Adagio, get up." Hanna commanded, face scrunched.
"I - I -"
"Is there a problem Adagio?" The judge asked, leaning over a little.
"I can't-"
"Does Sasha have to go on the stand?" Aria stalled, standing up.
"Yes." Maggie, Hanna, and the judge all said.
Aria stood defeated. "Can we resite Shakespeare?'
"Girls-"
"We can't let Sasha on the stand it could hurt someone." Adagio covered her mouth.
"Go Adagio!" Hanna screamed. Adagio did as told, leaving Arias face pale.
"Sorry about that Sasha," Hanna apologized, eyeing Adagio and Aria, who were freaking out.
"Sorry sis, you're screwed," Adagio whispered in Arias ear. Aria, still pale, nodded in agreement.
"Now, Aria was the one who found you, what did you tell her?" Hanna asked. Aria burried her hands in her face and leaned down so she wasn't visable to Scootaloo.
"My name, I didn't Remeber most of my family except my daughter, who I had before I was kidnapped thirteen years ago."
"What's her name?"
Fuuuuuccccckkkkk! Aria mumbled.
"Scootaloo." Sasha said. Scootaloos eyes went wide and she went pale, look for Aria in the chairs from the only view she had.
"You only told Aria this?" Hanna asked. Sasha nodded.
"Are you serious Aria!" Aria heard Scootaloo call. Aria sat up and turned around. "How long were you going to keep me in the dark?"
"I was gonna tell you, I swear! But your Aunt kicked me out the door every time I came to tell you." Aria cried apologetically. "I'm sorry."
"Ever heard of texting?"
"In Arias defence, texting you that would have been real screwed up." Adagio said. "Its like text dumping."
"SAVE IT YOU BAG OF HAIR!" She screamed.
"What's the issue, ladies?" The judge asked.
"The issue is Aria was going to to keep me in the dark that my mother has been alive this whole time." Scootaloo argued.
"I wasn't going to keep you in the-"
"Wait she was here this whole time and you didn't tell me?" Sasha said in the same sassy tone as Scootaloo. Yup, they were related.
"I hate this." Aria grumbled.
"OBJECTION!" Sonata screamed at the top of her lungs.
"That's it, I'm done." Aria said, jumping out of her seat and heading out the door.
"I'll spam you." Scootaloo yelled.
Aria lifted her phone and faced the screen towards Scootaloo then clicked a button. "Blocked!"
* * *
"That... was so unlike here, it's like her soul changes after Sonata screamed objection." Adagio told Sunset, as she drank her frappuccino. Sunset sat silently. "What's wrong?"
"I don't understand why Octavia would do that." Sunset said. "The Crusaders are only kids who lost their ways."
Adagio nodded in agreement. "It was a shitty move. But they won't get charged because Hanna didn't believe her, obviously."
"Um, excuse me?" Adagio and Sunset looked up to see a girl with white hair in two pigtails, looking very pissed.
Sunset sare bother Adagios and the girl with white pigtails eyes go small.
"You're in our table." The girl continued, not as pissed.
"Is your name on it?" Adagio sarcastically asked, looking under the table to make sure. "Nope, it's not. So, it's not your table."
"Get up you bag of shit." The other girl with long pink hair demanded.
"No." Sunset said. "We got here first."
"Fine, whatever losers!" The pink haired one said. "Let's go Sugar Coat."
"No Sour Sweet." Sugar stopped her. "We're not going anywhere."
Sour rolled her eyes. "Why? Don't you know these two are killlers? "
Sugar Coats eyes went smaller.
"Excuse me?" Adagio yelled, anger in her eyes. She moved her eyes back and forth between the two. "What did you call me!"
"A killer Flash whatever his name is. Even Twilight Sparkle."
"Shut the fuck up, Pucca buns."
"Hey, hey Adagio let's go-"
"No Sunset! Let me give this girl a piece of my mind."
Sour Sweet snickered. "Can you afford that?"
"Gee, I don't know, can you afford to shut you mouth or will your head blow off?" Adagio smiled, dumping her frappuccino on her shirt. Sour Sweet gave her a cross look. Adagio flipped her short hair and walked away. She stopped when she was far enough from the two Shadowbolts.
"Killers..." Adagio mumbled. "They know I killed Flash."
"No, they can't..." Sunset whispered, coming up behind her.
Adagio turned around with a jurk. She grabbed Sunset. "I think those girls were Twilights old friends. Ofcourse there gonna try to find out what happened!"
"Adagio, those girls are too busy training for the Friendship Games, which is another four months away."
"But Sunset," Adagio yelled, shaking in her own boots. "Don't you see? What if, they lie, what if..."
"Take a chill pill Adagio, you're not going to get in trouble for killed Flash. It was self defense. Or, Aria and Sonatas defence."
"Maybe I should just confece."
"That, my friend, is throwing yourself under the bus."
All the things I didn't repeat
"Okay, so who do I hate and know?" Sonata asked, tucking at her short pink skirt.
"Um... Alison? Your human counterpart? Octavia? Viynal scratch?" Adagio listed.
Sweetie Belle nodded. "Maybe it ment who hates you."
"We don't know half of the people who hate Sonata." Sunset said, tapping her computer, looking at Rainbows Noah's Dawn information. "I still can't believe she didn't tell us this."
"Can't believe?" Fluttershy exclaimed in suprised. "Applebloom hasn't even told her diary she was in Noah's Dawn. Why would Rainbow tell us?"
"Well, why wouldn't she tell us she went because she tried jumping off a bridge?" Adagio put her hands up and leaned back as if Fluttershy was a bigger idiot then Sonata.
"Well maybe she was-"
"We need to face she hid this from us. She lied. And that's it!" Adagio screamed to loudly. Many people hushed her because well, they where in a library and surrounding one little computer.
Fluttershy shrank. "Geez."
"Well, who's going to walk Sweetie to class?" Sunset asked.
"I can walk myself. I'm thirteen, not two, or an idiot." Sweetie Belle replied, backing away.
"Your walking around as F knowing your Talent. I'm not letting you be alone. Rarity would agree."
"And I'm not letting my guard down- bye!" Sweetie Belle yelled and ran away before anyone could stop her.
"Kids." Adagio nodded.
Fluttershy sniffed and made a gross face. "Does anyone else smell blood?"
Sonata shrugged. "I am on my-"
"Don't need or want to know that!" Sunset exclaimed.
Fluttershy eyes widened and she turned pale. "Sunset, unless your bag is on its-"
"Eww!" Sunset looked sick. Then she looked at her small bag, which was bleeding blood, and Adagio was certain she was going to be sick.
"What's in there?" Sonata shrieked, stepping away.
"Mints and my phone..." Sunset said as she picked up her phone up with two fingers. She grabbed a clothe and wrapped it in the clothe. "Adagio throw this away please."
"Sonata please throw that away." Adagio demanded.
"Fluttershy, you heard the lady." Sonata said.
"Fine." Fluttershy gripped the bag with only her pinky finger and quickly ran over to the trash, threw it away, and slowly crept back over. She wipped the blood on the bottom of the table. "Ew."
Ring ring. Sunset felt sick once again. "Oh fudge cakes.". Sunset reached down for her red tinted phone and then read the message allowed. "Oh Sunset, I thought you didn't acknowledge being F.5. Maybe Scootaloo won't be the next one with her heart ripped out. -F."
"And I can feel my phone vibrating." Adagio sighed as she grabbed her phone out. "It's a link from F." She clicked the link and let F's little game play out. The link only lead to two buttons. A red round circle that said press. Then a yellow round button that said nothing at all. Adagio looked at the one that Press, and of course, she pressed it.
"Ow!" Sunset yelled. Adagio pressed the button again. And again. And again. Sunset kept yelling ow.
"What's the problem?" Adagio asked.
"A shock like the one in the maze is going up my neck, which I think is melting." Sunset mumbled, rubbing her neck.
Adagio looked at the bank yellow button and pressed it. Fluttershy leaned in to Sunset. "Are you beeping?"
"Maybe?" Sunset shrugged.
Sonata grabbed Sunsets head and moved it closer towards the phone. She kept beeping. More, and more as she got closer until Sunset yelled to stop because she felt her head ringing. Adagio held the phone up and then looked at Sunset, who was still beeping. Then, Adagio slid the app to two more buttons. One that was Blonde and green. She pressed the blank button.
Little did she know that Applejack, who was in science, was beeping. Not as fast as Sunset, but she was still beeping.
Fluttershy walked over to Adagio and took the phone. She flipped to another color of buttons. Pink and green. She pressed the one that said Press and Fluttershy, herself felt a shock up her neck.
"Holy shit," Adagio worried, looking at all the buttons. "We were chipped!"
* * *
"Chipped?" Scootaloo yelled in suprise to Sunset, Aria, Applejack, Rarity, Adagio and her fellow crusaders who were sitting outside a coffee shop in the rain. "With what? The tardis technology that you used to conceal your hair in the hoods your wearing?"
Aria adjusted her hoodie. "Funny funny."
"That's not even it. We're all in it! Aria, Sweetie, Applebloom, even you!" Sunset said, watching the rain drip on the windows.
"But we don't get tracked?" Applebloom asked.
"No." Aria said with strong sarcasm.
"When the hell did F get the opportunity to chip us!" Sweetie Belle questioned, ignoring everyone else's statments.
"Are none of you wondering where the chips are?" Applejack asked, moving uncomfortably.
Scootaloo looked at Applejack in a disgusted way. "Don't even go there."
"My hair is getting wet, can we go in!" Rarity screamed. Adagio lifted up her phone and pressed the Press button. "Ow! Really Adagio?"
"People are dead and all you care about is your hair?"
"Adagio, dear, looks matter."
"Yes, that's why I chopped two feet of my beautiful hair off."
"Your hair looks better straight," Sweetie Belle inturuppted, "If that changes anything."
"Thanks." Adagio crossed her arms.
Sunset sighed as the rain poured harder. "Why does F hate us? Why Did F do this?"
"Didn't F tell you that?" Applejack asked.
"I'm F.5, but that doesn't mean F even told me what gender they are."
"It's a girl trust me." Scootaloo concluded, crossing her legs on a bench.
"My head is beeping." Adagio yelled in panic. "Why am I beeping?!"
Applejack clutched her head. She moved it in many directions. "It's going towards some bakery."
Aria looked as well. "No. It's going to Noah's Dawn."
"Shit." Adagio mumbled, still in AJs clutches. "I'm not going there."
Applejack moved Adagio closer. The beeping got quicker. "Yes, you are."
"We're all going." Sunset stated.
"Not me." Everyone but Sunset, Adagio, and AJ said at the same time. They all exchanged glances.
"One of the Crusaders."
Sweetie Belle and Applebloom pointed to Scootaloo. "Damnit."
"All of you. I've changed my mind we're all going, " Sunset stated, looking at the building in fright.
"Seriously, fine..." Aria looked at the building in suprise.
"What?"
"It's not going to Noah's Dawn."
"Then where is it going?
"To Equestria."
"Why?"
"For a picnic Sunset. To get the three!" Aria pointed at The Crusaders.
"No, it's going to Noah's Dawn." Adagio said, still beeping.
"Yeah." Applejack agreed.
"It's going to Equestria!" Rarity shouted.
"No!"
"Equestria!"
"Noah's Dawn!"
"It's going to Equestria!"
"No!"
Adagio lifted her phone up and pressed Applejacks button, shocking her.
"Hey!" Applejack grabbed the phone and slid to Adagios button and did the same! "What the hell!"
"Ow! That's my button!" Aria screamed, ripping the phone out of her hand and shocking Adagio.
"Gimme-*Tug*-My-*Tug*-Phone!" Adagio cried.
Scootaloo watched as the girls fought over a phone, and argued over where Adagios beeping was leading too. This whole fight of theirs was leading to no where. No where.... that's it! Scootaloo thought.
"Stop! Stop!" She shouted, holding back some joy. "Don't you see? The beeping leads to the phone! Nowhere! Look," Scootaloo grabbed the phone and moved it away from the girls, towards them. The beeping slowed and got faster. "F is trying make you argue to get you to separate yourselves. Then, F goes for the goal, go to kill or kidnap you when your alone. Or me. This stupid button is for distraction. But, we aren't idiots. Or, at least I'm not... anyway! You can't argue over the dumb things like where a beeping leads to. You need to focus on the importance."
"So, always listen to you?" Applebloom asked.
"No! You can't argue over the dumb things like where a beeping leads to. You need to focus on the importance."
Scootaloos phone went off, a weird duck ring tone. She grabbed the phone and took it out. "Full on investigation at Canterlot High, reports of Flash Sentreys blood in a bag and on a chair in then library."
"That was Flashs Blood?" Sunset went white.
"Maybe Scootaloo will be the next dead one. -F. " Scootaloo showed no emotion. She typed something back and sent it.
"What did you send?" Adagio asked.
"Maybe don't be dumb and give clever people dumb questions. Or, did your mind stumble a little bit along the way? Don't let you mind wander bitch. I'm too close to knowing who you are. -Speed."
"Why do I feel like that was a mistake?" Sunset said.
"Does F know I killed Flash?" Adagio crumbled in worry.
"You did what now?"
Adagio turned around to see Sour Sweet and Sugar Coat. "Shit."
"I knew you where a killer." Sour Sweet laughed.
"Sour!" Sugar knugged her in the ribs.
"Please don't tell." Adagio begged.
"Your secrets safe with us." Sugar Coat said. "Just one little thing."
"What?"
"We need help. Real help." She anwsered.
"Why?"
"Your Principle, Celestia, she's kinda dead."
"Did you kill her?" Applejack asked, regretting it quickly.
"No, we sare Faith Flames do it. Hit her in the head with shovel. We need help so we came here," Sour Sweet said, rudely and keeping her hands in her yellow coat. "Sence Ali said your like secrets head quarters."
"FAITH FLAMES!" Aria screamed. "WHO THE FUCK IS FAITH FLAMES?"
"My Aunt!" Scootaloo said, biting her lip.
"Funny. I'm moving in with you then!" Sugar Coat said, enthused. "I'm a foster kid."
"Wait, Alison said what?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"That your secret headquarters." Sour Sweet repeated.
"Now, who's the best at keeping secrets?" Sugar Coat asked. "Adagio maybe?"
Everyone pointed to Sunset. "Gee. Thanks guys."
"Don't deny it dear." Rarity said.
"Okay, so, you tell need to convict Faith." Sour Sweet demanded.
"Scootaloo should do that, we'll if she'd like." Fluttershy glanced slightly at Scootaloo. Then she turned back.
"I'll do it." Scootaloo said with no care, standing up. "I'll do it right now."
"Aunt Faith, can we talk?" Scootaloo asked, cracking her knuckles very silently. She gave a quick look at Sabrina Ray, who was out of cares to give and typing away on her computer and humming to her music which was blasted so loud Scootaloo could hear it from across the room.
"Oh dear," she mumbled. "Is this about your mother? Look, Scootaloo," Her Aunt took a chair and sat her down. Scootaloo looked at her Aunt, was it possibly she was being... nice? Did she know she knew about Celestia?
"Um... Aunt-"
"We thought she died years ago." Her Aunt began. Scootaloos eyes widened as she took note of everything that she said. "And your dad didn't know what to tell you. You were only four and you could barely remember her, so we came up with that excuse. I am so, so sorry dear."
"Oh, um..." She had no clue how to respond. "It's okay. But can is see her?" She was now stuck in the mud on the topic of her mom.
"No, she's in Noah's Dawn. She wouldn't be out for two years." Aunt Faith replied, standing up and adjusting her pant suit.
"There is such thing as visiting hour."
"You can visit her later now, we are having a new person come in to this house her name is Sugar Cube."
"Sugar Coat," Scootaloo corrected without even relizing it.
"Yes, Sugar Coat-" Aunt Faith paused. "How did you know that?"
"She talked to my near Fun Fraps." Scootaloo said, ripping the cord out of Sabrinas computer.
She stopped humming and looked up. "Hey!". Scootaloo hushed her and handing her 20$ under the table. She'd do anything for money. And now Scootaloo wanted her to record the conversation. Sabrina did as told, throwing her headphones on to make it seem as if she was listening to music.
"What did she talk to you about?" Aunt Faith asked, as if she was worried.
Scootaloo tried not to smirk. "Are you worried?"
Sabrina stared at Scootaloo. What is going on in that head of hers? She though.
"Ofcourse not, but a report just came out," Scootaloos Aunt slowly slid her finger on her tablet. "Your Principle went missing. Oh dear god."
"What! She's the only teacher who's nice!" Sabrina complained, sliding her ear buds out.
"It's horrible." She nodded.
"You know what's horrible?" Scootaloo asked, opening up a magazine. "Getting hit in the head with a shovel.". Scootaloo sucked in air and tightened her lips. She knew that that was a real dumb idea, especially sence her Aunt dropped her tablet into the rug.
"How'd you come up with that?" Sabrina asked in horror.
"Well..." Scootaloo looked at her Aunt and at Sabrina. Sabrina looked in worry, as if Scootaloo killed her or something. And her Aunt looked at her in anger. She watched as her fingers rimmed a knife which was in a drawer. "I know you killed her, Aunt Faith."
"Woah!" Sabrina Ray sprang to her feet. "What the hell are you talking about? Are you going insane?"
"Sugar Coat told me." Scootaloo said very quietly.
"She's a liar, right?' Sabrina Ray asked in sadness. She cried on the inside. It was more hitting her angrey pillow then anything. Aunt Faith showed no emotion.
"Did you kidnap them?" Scootaloo questioned, reacting to Faiths lack of emotion. "Did you kill Rainbow Da-"
Scootaloos Aunt ripped the knife out from the drawer and then put it to her neck. Scootaloo stood in disbelief. "Don't you dare speak or move."
Sabrina grabbed a knife as well and and held it behind her head as if she was going to throw it. "Stop!" She shouted.
"Try me, Sabrina. See what happens." Faith demanded in a daring tone. Sabrina didn't move. Neither did Scootaloo who had tears streaming down her face.
* * *
Arias alarm went off loudly. Aria eyes opened and she sighed. Her mind had been on Harmony all night. And now her alarm had went off at the wrong time. Lucky me-
Aria looked at the ceiling. She couldn't move. She had a pain in her stomach she had never had, ever. It was like a really painful cramp, not normal, but also the feeling to throw up. Was this just her monthly lady sturggle? No, she never felt like this then. She felt hotter the usual as well. She felt her forehead. A little hot. Well, it was the summer and about 90 degrees.
Aria sat up, then instantly fell down. She felt like someone took a knife and put it in her gut then twisted it, many, many, many times. Aria felt tears well in her eyes.
A cramp? She screamed in her head. Am I crying over a cramp?
Aria gritted her teeth and swallowed down what seemed like throw up. She felt the sharp pain get worse. She couldn't even breath without crying. And then soon she found herself bawling. Bawling very hard.
"Adagio?" She cried in the sob as she turned onto her side and cried more. "Sonata?" Aria found her voice getting weaker.
"Seriously Aria?" Adagio yawned as she walked in, her short hair poofy. "I was sleep- Aria? Sis, are you okay?" Adagio sat on the bed and began to shake Aria. She was one who was prone to pain and never cried when she had it, and Adagio knew that. "Aria?"
"It hurts!" She complained in tears. "It hurts really really bad!"
"Cmon, get up and shake it off." Adagio smiled optimistically, trying to help her up.
"I - I can't sit up." Aria said, shutting her eyes.
"Did you try? Cmom," Adagio grabbed Arias arms and sat her up as if she was a doll. Aria was very still for a moment and then started breathing heavily, as if she couldn't breath. Her face began turning red, and she began sobbing harder.
"I CAN'T!" Aria screamed, throwing up a little over the bed. Adagio leaned her back and gave her a concerned look.
"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Adagio sympathetically said as she stroked Arias hair. Aria nodded, wiping tears from her eyes and puke from her mouth.
Adagio sighed heavily, patting her sister on the back, then making eye contact with the window. Where F stood. Smiling under the shadow of the hoodie. "Go to hell." She told F, hoping Aria didn't hear.
* * *
Applebloom looked at Scootaloo concerned. How many words had she spoken that day in school? The amount of relationships Applebloom had ever been in, zero. "What is your problem? You haven't said anything at all today."
"Cool." Scootaloo replied, obviously not paying attention.
Applebloom frowned. "I asked what's your problem, you haven't spoken at all."
"I don't have one." Scootaloo said, wanting Applebloom to get off her back. She pulled at the bottom of her green shorts.
"Scootaloo, is something going on with F? Your Aunt? Did you-"
She covered her mouth instantly. "Applebloom everything is fine."
Applebloom ripped Scoots hand of her mouth. "Be honest. Is it your mom?"
"I can't see her. For two years." Scootaloo said as she slammed her hand on a locker.
"That sucks."
"I convicted her. About Celestia. Infront of Sabrina."
"And?"
"And she put a knife to my throat, Applebloom!" Scootaloo shouted crossly. "And that wasn't the most comfortable feeling."
"Scootaloo please report to the principles office." Vice Principle Luna echoed over the loud speaker, sending a shrivel up her spine.
Applebloom put her hand on her sholder. "I'll go with you and I'll call Sweetie Belle."
"Where is Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom shrugged. Scootaloo began walking away from Applebloom.
"You really don't know?" A voice said. Applebloom turned around to see Snips, Snails, and Diamond Tiara, smiling.
"I'm needed?" Scootaloo opened the door to Vice Principle Lunas office. Scootaloo could tell by her facial expression and the police man next to her that she... was dead.
"Yes. Very." Luna started, not kind at all. "Where were you on the night of the break in?"
"Oh, that. Like every other student, sleeping." Scootaloo bit her tounge not to laugh at these dumb questions. Which is when she shortly remembered she was in the school. Oh hell no... she thought.
"Are you sure about that?" The police man, with the name Max asked.
Scootaloo nodded. "Totally."
"Okay. Now you can tell the police why the hell you were at the Golden Oak Library the night the girls escaped." Luna said, putting her hand towards the officer.
"I wasn't."
"Are you sure about that?" Max asked again. Scootaloo nodded again.
Luna breathed heavily. "Okay. Final question. What do you know about my sisters disappearenss?"
"Nothing." Scootaloo lied. Wow, this was the first time she hadn't felt bad. She felt horrible!
"I'm going to give you a chance to anwser all those questions again." Luna said, arms crossed.
"I'm just going to give you the same anwsers."
"Don't lie. Don't protect Applebloom."
"Woah, woah. You think I'm protecting Applebloom?"
Luna nodded, "Now tell us."
"You know what. Fine. I'm sick of lying to everyone." Scootaloo breathed in and out to get ride of the horrible feeling she desired. "Yes. Me and the Crusaders broke into the school. You know why? Ms. Cheerilie was a liar. I broke into the office files at the hospital and found something out. She was pregnant and she didn't even tell the dad, that's pretty screwed up, so we punished her, or her classroom. And why was I at the Golden Oak Library? Because we wanted to help Aria get her and our friends back. Because I lost Rainbow and I can't lose anyone else. And what do I know about Celestias disappearenss? That she's dead. And my Aunt killed her. Hit her in the head with a shovel and then burried her. Why? Because my Aunt is crazy. And I've known that from day one and I should have said something. And Sugar Coat, from Crystal Prep Academy or whatever and her friends Sour Sweet sare her in the act. And they came to us because we knew we went to this school. And when I convicted her last night she put a knife to my throat. And this is all I know, honest."
Luna and Max looked at Scootaloo in a look they never gave a little kid ever. Luna a had tears in her eyes and Max was blinking repeatedly to make sure Scootaloo wasn't a hallucination. Scootaloo grabbed her bag and stood up. She didn't know whether or not she would make it out of the office.
"I'm going to ask you to put your bag down and turn around." Max demanded, taking his handcuffs out.
"What? Why?" Scootaloo questioned, dropping her bag not as an order but in shock.
"Turn around." Max grabbed Scootaloo and yanked her around. Scootaloo found a chill of metal on her hand cuffs. "You are under arrest."

"Okay, so this there is a mini example of the sort of problem your supposed to create for the younger students coming next year. Sence this is your second to last week of high school, life is going to be easier." Mr. Times, the math teacher said, handing packers to everyone. Sunset gave glances around, having about no idea where the hell the dazzlings where. Her fingers were cramping from texting her whole contact list about three times asking what the hell is happening?
"Sunset," Mr. Times asked, putting her paper on her desk. "Please put that phone away."
"Sorry." Sunset apologized putting her phone in her black jacket.
"Of you need any help or have any other questions, feel free to ask." He said in a whisper, and then boomed. "Okay, so you can work with partners."
Sunset put her hand above her eyebrows as if she was blocking her eyes from the sun. She didn't want to work in a partner. She didn't want to do anything. Allegro was gone, and that was lucky for her. But now Alison was here. And she already had her pack. Misty, Fleetfoot, Cecelia from the piano shop, and Trixie.
"You need a partner?" Sunset looked up and sare Trixie.
"What about Alison? And Misty?" Sunset asked, wanting Trixie to go away.
"I don't want to work with you, and I'm saying that in the nicest way possible. I just want to tell you something."
"Same here. I just want to graduate. And get out of here, I don't want to hear you. Why don't you work in a three some with your squad of four people."
Trixie looked confused. Then she leaned in and whispered, "I know what your keeping."
"You sure?" Sunset snickered, flipping to the back of her paper.
"You wanna tell me Adagio didn't kill Flash?"
Sunset dropped her pencil. She stared at her paper and didn't say a word.
"Yes Shimmer, I'm sure." Trixie turned around and walked over to Alison and Misty. Trixie said something Sunset couldn't hear. Then Ali snickered and look at Sunset. And mouthed a sentence. Sunset knew exactly what she mouthed.
Harmony is mine now.
* * *
"Adagio?" Sonata asked, hugging her older sister.
"What." Adagio asked thing to make her poofy short hair work.
"Is Aria going to die?"
"Ofcourse not. She's just having stomach pains." Adagio couldn't get F's evil smile out of her head. It hadn't took her a lot of thought to know this was F, who poisoned her. She found a needle under the bed. Did F think she was an idiot? Clearly.
"But, she looked really sick and it scared me." Sonata snuggled up next to Adagio on the chair. "Did F have something to do with this?"
"No." Adagio lied.
"Oh. Alison?"
"No. It's just cramps, everyone gets them." Adagio said, wanting to shut Sonata up so bad. Adagio picked her phone up. Applejack was calling her.
"Hello?" Adagio anwsered, becoming confused at Applejacks loud chatter.
* * *
"I got your message, Applejack." Sunset asked as she ran into the fixed Apple Family house. It looked the same. "What's the problem?"
Applejack, Big Mac and Granny Smith all sat at a table with papers in front of them. Applejack looked depressed. Max, a police officer stood there as well. "She's gone." Granny Smith said with worry.
"Gone? Who?" Sunset asked, trying to quickly put the puzzle together in her head.
"Applebloom." Applejack said holding up a note so only Sunset could see.
The Salvage jackets gone as well. The note read. Then Applejack picked another card up that was visable to all. "She, or someone left this."
Only way to hide is to run. -Salvage
Sunset kept staring at the note. "So, why would she run away or be kidnappdd?"
"The police think Applebloom ran away to avoid arrest." Max, the police officer said, adjusting his colar.
"Why would Applebloom be arrested?" Sunset asked, taking a seat. She knew she would be at the Sweet Apple Orchards for way longer then she had planned.
"Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle got arrested for breaking into the school. And also, Celestia is confirmed dead. The police found a body and Faith was arrested this morning." Applejack told Sunset, chewing on a bendy straw.
"Wait... you can't arrest them! They confessed!" Sunset yelled in The Crusaders defence. "The day Applejack got arrested for doing it, they all confessed. But the Police said they were lying. So you can't arrest them!"
"That's true, so..." Applejack looked as if she was gonna throw up. "I think Applebloom knew that. Maybe she was hiding from something else. I think she was hiding from someone else. Under someone else's orders."
"F?" Sunset suggested. Everyone but AJ gave her a confused look. "Our kidnapper?"
"What if putting The Crusaders in jail was gonna be F's chance to scoop them up and take them to the maze?" Applejack stood up. "To kidnap them!"
"Calm down ladies, I got my buddy Joey on the line, this will wall be tooken care off." Max essured, grabbing his Walky Talky.
"Maybe they should all just be in jail." Big Mac mumbled. Sunset narrowed her eyes to him and gave him an angrey look. "Including you." He finished.
* * *
Applebloom ran threw the forest, down a stepp hill which was a struggle sence she was in heels. She knew she would be arrested if she stayed. Leaving Scootaloo and Sweetie was a screwed up idea. But F would kill them all if she didn't run. Or just her...
She stopped at the bottom of the hill and gripped onto a tree. Climb it? She though. Unless I'd like to die, no. Applebloom quickly put her green hoodie up and let down the blonde wig that was attached to it. The whole outfit of Salvage she wore was supposed to represent Applejack as a younger kid. You know, Salvage the memories. Or whatever that meant. If it even existed. Ms. Cheerilie didn't really know what she was talking about.
"Stop!" A voice of a police officer called. Applebloom looked back at the flashlights, silloutes of police officers, the dogs barking. She let go off the tree and began running as fast as she could. Quickly, she had ran out of breath and was cornered. The flashlights were darker and the barks were louder.
"Help." She cried faintly. She felt someone out a hand on her sholder, and instantly she turned around and freaked. It was no police officer. It was a girl. She had purple hair with mint green streaks, pink skin, purple eyes, and she wore black combat boots, black jeans, and a black short sleeve T-shirt. She held Appleblooms hand in hers
Applebloom ripped her hand out of the girls. "Who- who are you?"
"You need to trust me, give me your hand." The girl said more like a demand.
"Your gonna get arrested! Who are you!"
"My name is Harmony Blaze. Now, give me your hand Applebloom!" Harmony Blaze, Arias daughter, a siren, trying to help her? And she knew who she was. How did Harmony know who she was? Applebloom paused for a moment until she gave Harmony her hand.
"Trust me." Harmony promised. Applebloom nodded. Harmony shut her eyes hardly. Her necklace, that had the red pendant just like the dazzlings use to have, lit up. Then, the rest was sort of a blur, except Applebloom knew Harmony had just transported her out of the forest, but to who knows where.
"She's gone!" Shining Armor called as he finally reached the top of the hill. He looked at the dirt. There were two pairs off footprints. "That's impossible."
* * *
"What do you mean you're moving?" Misty yelled at Alison, who had her back turned and arms crossed. "When? To WERE?"
Alison turned around in anger. "Why do you care? I never even wanted to do this. You made me! You lied to Fleetfoot!"
"Phh. So what? We needed to find her so-"
"Her? Oh my god Misty! This isn't about avenging Spitfire to a girl who is dead! I gonna a say this once, so you feeble little brain can get it..." Alison enhaled alot of breath and then screamed, "RAINBOW DASH IS DEAD!"
"She's not!" Misty screamed in defence. She grabbed a beating stick off the table and began walking towards Alison. Alison soon began moving back as well, worry in her veins. "I've known you forever Alison. I brought you to Canterlot High. I brought you to a new life."
"And guess what!" Alison put her hand on stick. "I ran away from that life. And then, when I thought I sare you, I snapped! I snapped and hit what I thought was you in the head and killed an innocent person, because of you! You... You are the reason I was in Noah's Dawn! You're the reason that the poor child you babysat was in that place too! And her friends, I don't know what there up to, but I bet it has something to do with you!"
Misty ripped the stick from Alisons clutches. "Atleast I don't date teachers!"
"Shut up! I dated your science teacher for what? Two months?" Alison felt her right cheek go up as if she was smiling and twitched. This happened when she was mad, or embarrassed. "And please, you don't date anyone!"
"I do date Applejacks older brother, Big Mac."
A laugh escaped Alisons mouth. "Yeah, only to find more about Applejack and her little sister, who plays some Salvage roll that can hurt you."
"Not me. Someone else." Misty raised the stick and swung it to hit her friend. Alison put her hand up and grabbed the stick.
Grinning her teeth, she spoke. "Your a liar Mystery. Go back to where you came from and let me go home and see my family. And leave Fleetfoot alone. She's a good person. A better friend then you, even though she thinks I'm crazy. Soon as you leave, I'll have harmony, peace!"
"No. Fleetfoot is perfect for this. This is my time to finally get them." Misty raised her stick and hit Alison, sending her to the ground. "And your time to go away."
* * *
Applebloom looked up. She was in Noah's Dawn. Didn't take to much knowledge of hers to know that. She turned to Harmony, the girl who had transported her there. Applebloom didn't know whether or not to thank her or to scream at her. Ofcourse she wouldn't scream, she couldn't look at the girl, who was freaking out at the moment, and not see Aria, a real close friend.
"I don't understand why you'd save me." Finally, she found the perfect words to escape her lips. Just, not in the right order.
Harmony shrugged. "Well, you know my mother, right? And plus, since your picture is on the news media, I figured I give you a hoove- hand." She struggled to open the window.
"Why are you trying to escape again?" She asked, sitting on a bed and adjusting her green jacket at the buttons.
"I'm guessing you know who I am." Harmony turned to Applebloom and examined her body.
"Sonata Dusk, or your Aunt, sare you in a flash back, when she sare a necklace like yours," she pointed to her pendant, which Harmony held close to her chest. "And then we sare you on the website as Blaze, and more flash backs, we sare you were her daughter."
"Oh, so you didn't look for me?" Harmony Blaze gave Applebloom a sad look.
"Oh no," Applebloom quickly stood up. "Aria was going to visit you, but the kidnapper said she would kill you if she went near you because your hers, I guess."
"I'm my own person, but yeah, I am a prisoner here so I'm many peoples. And as you asked earlier, I'm trying to escape because I'll be stuck here again if I'm caught here. And, you too maybe." Harmony flipped her hair that looked like Arias just like Aria.
"How long has it been sence I've went missing?"
"About a week. That's how long it takes
Applebloom looked in worry. "I'm- I'm chipped." She felt the back of her neck.
Harmony grabbed something silver and waked to Applebloom. "Where?" She asked.
Applebloom pointed. "Wh- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Applebloom shrieked. Harmony covered her mouth from behind. Then she turned her around and hushed her. "What did you do?"
She held the knife up. "Cutting it out."
"No! I rather take my chances." Applebloom told her, putting the knife back in place.
"Sorry." Harmony apologized, not looking sincere. But Applebloom nodded in forgiveness.
Bang! Bang! The door in the back of the room vibrated. Applebloom and Harmony looked at eachother. The Harmony grabbed her and hid herself and Applebloom behind a bed.
"What's happening?" Applebloom whispered.
"Police, we could get caught." She replied, such a silent whisper Applebloom didn't even hear her. Applebloom took a deep breath and went over to the door. "What the hell are you doing!"
"It's not police." Applebloom anwsered. "This is the file room."
"Oh," Harmony sucked her lips in in embarrassment, something Harmony poorly hid.
Applebloom took no hesitation to kick the door out of the locks but not out of the hinges. In the file room, there stood Diamond Tiara, Appleblooms enemy, smuggling a file into her purse.
* * *
"Something off is going on." Adagio stated, sitting with Aria, Sunset, and Applejack in her car. The only ones who weren't trying to get Sweetie and Scootaloo out of prison. Still.
"Figures," Aria said, adjusting her posture. She was still recovering from something in her stomach blowing up. She had to go into surgery six days ago. That's what a Monday brings. She though after the surgery. "There's police tape, cops, people, cars, and lights everywhere. And I think that someone is under that blanket."
Applejack and Sunset made eye contact with pink sheet stained with blood. "Maybe it's Luna. Or Scootaloo." Sunset complained in a choked up voice. "F texted me when Aria was in surgery. She's my puppet, she's her puppet, so the chain will break one day. Snap. -F."
"Puppets are held on strings..." Applejack stated with confusion. "What if Applebloom is under there?"
"She kicked F's ass in Manhattan, right?" Aria retorted, shaking the Meds the doctor gave her.
"Yeah, but Rainbow Dash kicked Soarin ass many times, and he's the strongest kid in school. And, she lost to F."
"Can we please not talk about Rainbow." Sunset demanded, putting her hand up.
"Yes, let's talk about the fact the pink blanket flew off the dead girl..." Adagio scremed, pointing to the body.
"Alison? Alison Grace? That's not Alison Grace, right?" Aria asked, shaking her head. "She's not F?"
"But... she hates us!" Applejack exclaimed. "What?"
"Look, Mistys here crying." Sunset pointed, "The fakest tears I've ever seen.". Adagio, Aria, and Applejack looked at her as she just said that sky was falling. Sunset got out off Applejacks car and ran across the crime scene. She jumped over the Alisons dead body and walked over to Misty, the wind blowing in her french braid and her pieces of hair to short for the braid.
Misty looked up. "What do you want?"
"Miss, you can't be here." A police officer stated. Sunset looked back at her three friends, who were all being held back by police, midway to her.
"It's her." Sunset said.
"Huh?" The police man all said.
"Her." Sunset pointed at Misty, tears in only Sunsets eyes. "She's the kidnapper."
Applejack, Adagio, and Aria stood motionless. Emotionless. Shocked at the lie Sunset told. And even more shocked the police believed her.
Could she be right? Adagio thought. Did she just end F?
* * *
"What the hell are you doing here?" Applebloom screamed at Diamond Tiara.
"No-no-nothing!" She scremed digging the files deeper into her purse.
Applebloom put her hand out. "Give me the files."
"They're mine! They're my files! Okay!" Diamond Tiara hesitated. "I was scared you found out and ran here to find proof."
"Proof for what?" Harmony asked, trying to catch up on the conversation.
"Who are you!" Diamond Tiara retourted.
"A friend who helped her. Continue."
"Proof for why Ms. Cheerilie is gone. She found out I knew about something."
"She was having a baby and my older brother was the father?" Applebloom said right as the words escaped Diamond Tiara.
She nodded. "How did you know?"
"A little bird told me." Applebloom said.
"Not to disturb this, but I see police cars so the three of us have to find a way out of here." Harmony interrupted.
"The window you were opening?" Applebloom suggested.
Harmony nodded sadly. "There out there."
"Hide!" Declared Diamond Tiara, hiding under a file shelf, Harmony doing the same, and Applebloom put her hood on and stood in a cornor isolated by files. A police man came in and shined the flashlight everywhere. The girls where hidden so well, the police man didn't see them. But he kept flashing his light, just to make sure. And then he left.
Yup, Harmony thought. These police officers are idiots.
* * *
"So, your sure Misty is your kidnapper?" Shining Armor asked, taking pages of notes. Sunset nodded in agreement, definitely sure. Applejack nodded an okay nod. Adagio didn't even nod. "Adagio?"
"Oh, um yes?" Her head jerked up from her thoughts. She hoped someone had lived up to there promises.
"Misty? Are you sure she's your kidnapper?"
"Yes, I sare her face... I told a lawyer in knew but I didn't say Misty because she threatened me."
What the hell is she doing? Aria thought, longing to go home.
"Okay. And, if any of you have doubts just say so now." Shining Armor asked sincerely, leaning back.
Arias mouth opened, then hesitated. "I have a few doubts."
"But, not to be rude, you weren't kidnapped." Shining Armor called out, denying his previous statement.
"I know but, F did frame me and I sare a glimpse of her when Flash and Twilight died, and I don't think it was Misty."
"You don't think my sister was killed by Misty? And your sisters where tooken by Misty? And you-"
Aria's thoughts left Shining Armor, and looked towards her friends. They were shooting her a Shut up and take it all back look. Feeling retorted, she did as so. "I don't think it, actually... wrong call, ha?" Aria smirked a laugh, trying to get the attention off her.
* * *
"Are you gonna confess to running away?" Harmony asked Applebloom, as her, Applebloom, and Diamond Tiara stood outside the police office. It was across the street. Who knew what five steps could lead to?
Applebloom nodded. "Yes."
Diamond Tiara reached into her purse for a lip gloss. She ripped it out, all of her files went with it. All the papers on the floor. Her eyes went small and face went white as she scrambled to pick the eight papers up.
Before the final paper could get into Diamond, Applebloom picked up the first paper. With all the information. Her eyes quickly read the paper, then she threw the paper to the ground and began walking across the street. Diamond Tiara quickly picked it up and stuffed it her purse.
"Oh,wow,another,liar." Applebloom smiled in an anger that scared Harmony and Diamond Tiara. She said every word as her high heels clinked the concrete. Her wall was very fluent, as the other two scrambled after her.
The doors to the office opened loudly. But no one's attention was caught. Except for Cadence, who had been sitting out a room her husband was in. She quickly stood up and walked over to her.
"Oh my goodness." She gasped. "You're okay! That's such a relief! Did your friends help you home?"
All three nodded before Applebloom stepped forward.
"Applebloom, did you run away to avoid arrest?" Cadence asked.
Applebloom remained silent. Harmony was suprised they didn't recognize her as a runaway, and Diamond Tiara just wanted to go home. She took another step forward.
"No." Applebloom anwsered, tears in her eyes. Fake tears. "I was kidnapped."
The only thing you can protect
"I'm sorry," Diamond Tiara apologized into her phone. "She got the files. She knows you where in Noah's Dawn."
The girl on the other side of her phone hung up and threw her phone onto the seat. Tears swelled in her eyes. So did anger. She could only say one thing.
"Shit." Adagio Dazzle cussed.
* * *
"Do you know anything about the kidnapper?" Shining Armor asked Applebloom, who looking at her older sister in concern.
Applebloom nodded, regretting what she said. "No."
"Where you blindfolded?"
"Yes."
"What did you smell?"
Confused, she leaned up. "Air?"
"Funny, but this is serious Applebloom. You could have been hurt. And this person is still out there. And you know what." Shining Armor grabbed his Walky Talky. "Hey Max, asked that Misty girl about Applebloom, and ask her about a henchman."
"Wait, what about Misty?" Applebloom looked at Applejack.
She leaned in and whispered, "She's F.". Her mouth worded Oh, but her mind still felt shattered.
"I broke glass to a window and jumped out. That's how I ripped the jacket." Applebloom reached for her green jacket that had a tear in the bottom. The tear was really from running in the woods.
"But, you where blindfolded?" Shining Armor smiled and asked her as if she a was a kindergartener, "Are you sure your not making up a story?"
"No." Damnit! Why did I say no! Applebloom yelled in her head. "I could see light threw the blindfold, so I kicked it. And it was a window."
He looked very suprised. To suprised. "Smart kid. Just like you Applejack." He pointed to Applejack, she smiled lightly.
"Thanks, can we go home now?" She politely asked, standing up.
"Where am I going?" Harmony, who had sat there the whole time, asked with unpatientness.
"Back to Noah's Dawn." Shining Armor said, slamming his hands on the steel table. "And we will press charges if you escape again."
"You suck." Harmony rudely commented.
"I know her mom, why can't she go with her mom?" Applebloom asked, pressing her tounge over her teeth.
Shining Armor shook his head. "She's nuts."
"Son of a bitch." The young Siren mumbled in distress, tapping her combat boots on the floor.
"Don't call me a bitch." He roared, in real anger. Harmony shrugged and laughed a little.
"Don't call me nuts."
* * *
Adagio quickly sped into The Dazzlings living room and threw a stack of papers on the table, waking up Aria from her nap. She shot an annoyed look at Adagio, who looked as if she could care less. Throwing her hair into a sloppy bun, Aria picked up the papers.
"What is this?" Aria asked, shaking her head repeatedly. "Are we moving to Crystal Prep Academy?"
"Well, we should take a look at it first." Adagio suggested.
Aria kept shaking her head. "No! Why?"
"She knows Aria, she knows!"
"Who knows what?"
"Applebloom! She knows I was in Noah's Dawn!"
Aria rolled her eyes. "Are you serious? Your gonna move schools just because Applebloom knows you were in Noah's Dawn for a week so you could get therapy for your anger issues? That's not bad you know-"
"What if they think I'm F?" Adagio yelled, her eyes becoming small. "What if... they hate me?"
"Talk to them! It's not like you talked to anyone! You don't know anything!"
"You don't understand! I did talk to people! Rainbow Dash threatened me while handing out miss ya! cookies to nurses!"
"Woah? What? When did this happen?"
"Its, not important."
"You broke into the house because you thought she was F because of her threatening you?" Aria looked as if something kicked her in the gut. "Why didn't you tell the police? Why didn't you tell that to Sunset when she was Cadence and calling who got arrested? Misty might not-"
"Rainbow is dead if you forgot. And if you also forgot, I'm pretty sure she was trying to be the leader. The Princess of the palace of six. Look deep in you heart and think about it, do you really think Rainbow Dash is dead?"
"Sasha told me that Rainbow was in that maze, but F let her starve."
"Aria Forte Blaze, you talked to Sasha?" Adagio yelled as if she was Arias mother.
"Adagio Fantasy Dazzle, where you not aware that I sorta kept a huge secret from her and I had to make it up to her? And now we're friends?" Aria gasped, impersonating her older sister as her being an idiot.
"Your aware she's in Noah's Dawn?"
Aria nodded. "Yeah."
"Either way, can you please-". Adagio stopped when she heard the stair case creak a little bit. "Sonata Fabrina Dusk! Stop easdropping!"
"Why are we switching schools?" Sonata asked, swinging around the cornor.
"We're going on a tour guys! A legit one hour tour! Please, just do this!" Adagio begged, leaning her head back.
"Okay fine... but what do we tell the others when we don't show up tommorow at school?" Aria demanded, crossing her arms and breathing in a very tierd way.
Adagio sighed deeply. "Sonata and I were sick-"
"Won't buy it."
"Aria!" Adagio felt the air in the body be exhaled out. "Fine, we'll say we had appointments for therapy."
"Okay. Fine." Said Aria.
* * *
"Kidnapped?" Harmony yelled, throwing her bun. "Why did you say that?"
"First of all, you should thank me for getting you the opportunity to stay out of Noah's Dawn and here with me. Second of all, I was angrey at someone and when I'm angrey is say random things. It started happening when I was in Noah's Dawn." Applebloom told her, brushing her hair.
She rolled her eyes. "So why don't you take it back?"
"I don't wanna go to prison." Applebloom said, yawning.
"Well, your two friends did. For you."
Applebloom felt her eyes open wide and her stomach get that guilty feeling you get sometimes. She let her two best friends go to prison. For her actions. "Get dressed." Applebloom remembered demanding to Scootaloo at two o'clock in the morning. "We're going to school."
She felt tears stinging in her eyes. She had never felt so guilty before. I need to change this. Now! Applebloom grabbed her green jacket and began buttoning it, tears rolling down her cheek.
"Stop! What are you doing!" Harmony got up and stood in front of her. "I'm sorry for opening my big mouth-"
"You have a point. I need to make this up to them." Applebloom said, putting her black boots on.
Harmony undid her hair and then said, "Then I'm going with you. To protect you."
"No, I'll be fine, really."
"What if AJ checks on us?"
"Then stick a bow on a teddy bear, me and the Crusaders did that once."
"Applebloom this is a bad idea, why don't you do it in the morning?"
"Because... it could be too late!"
"They won't hate you. They think you were kidnapped."
Applebloom jerked her head up and stared at Harmony. "They're not dumb like the police."
"Obviously, a two year old has a bigger IQ then Shining Armor." Harmony walked to the door and checked to see if Applejack was near by. "Everyone is awake- This is a shit filled idea."
"Come on, I've been sneaking out sence I was six." Applebloom assured, throwing her hoodie on and letting the blonde wig fall to her chest.
"Yeah except then you went CVS to get Tic Tacs which you would eat in less then an hour."
"No... I mean yes that's exactly what I did-"
"Look, I see that you're really determine to make this up, but the time is not now. Not when we could get caught and both to to Noah's Dawn or jail or even worse, die!"
"I can't! Look what I let this spiral to! Look at me! Your a siren! I'm in danger! You are too! So many people are dead because of me! Me!"
"Like that Alison?" Harmony asked, trying hardly not to show emotion of confusion.
Applejack nodded, but for another reason. "Alison died for her own reasons. Flash, Rainbow Dash. My fault."
"Bull shit your fault, you little bitch." A new voice said. The two turned to the door and sare Scootaloo standing there, not pleased at all.
* * *
"You must be the... dazzlings?" Cadence asked, giving The Dazzlings a smile.
"Yes, you know that." Adagio smiled, trying to look pleasing for the tour she would take around Crystal Prep. "Excuse me to ask, but I thought you were a police officer?"
"I teach here by day and by night I'm working at the police office." Cadence replied, making Adagio fake giggle.
Fuck this. Aria complained inside.
"So here is the computer lab, in there is the science room, and then the gymnasium, where the students train for The Friendship games. You've heard of them?" Cadence asked as she stopped the three in front of the door. Sonata peered threw the glass and watched as students shot arrows into the middle of the target, skated around the gym, and jumped over hurdles. To Sonata, they looked more like drones then students, pulling an arrow out if the quiver, knotching it, and shooting it at the same time. And hitting the same place.
All we do is play dodge ball. Sonata thought.
"Not really," Adagio responded as mature as she could. "Only that Canterlot high is always dominated."
Cadence giggled. "Well, we are best of the best."
"What is that room over there?" Sonata asked, starting at a room she sare someone walk into in a black hoodie. God Damnit! It's F! Sonata bit her tounge. Cadence turned to the room and looked at it for a long time.
Sonata kept pinching Adagios back, trying to catch her attention fast enough. When her glance caught Adagios, she pointed to the room. "F." She mumbled.
Cadence finally turned back after seven centuries (According to Aria) of looking at the room. "It's Twilight Sparkles. I don't know what she did in there, but whenever I think about it," she sighed. "I feel upset. Nobody is allowed in there thought. Any student who enters doesn't come back to the school."
"Sorry." Adagio apologized.
"It's fine." Cadence said.
"May I please use the bathroom?"Adagio asked, watching F sneak out of the little room, and then teleport away. Poof! He or she was gone!
"Down the hall to the left. Sonata , Aria and I will go check the Art room out." Cadence smiled and lead Aria and Sonata to the next room. Adagio walked down to the room and waited until her sisters and Cadence cut the cornor until she slid in there. Then she slammed the door, not as quietly as she imagined.
The room was dark, and clearly abandoned. There were more cob webs then in Canterlot High and her basement combined in that office. She clearly been studying something, due to the huge bolten. Running her finger across the bored, the middle photo that was very dark had been to familiar. It was Canterlot High.
Adagio bit her lip and quickly turned away, wanting to sprint and get out. No way in hell she would go to this school. Twilight studied Canterlot High. What the fuck? Is she a stocker? Adagio thought, biting the side of her nail. She flipped the light switch on and pulled the drapes, only to get an entire view of the bored.
Pictures. Of the Dazzlings in their Siren form, of one of their pendents, and the Rainbow.
Did she know that they were Sirens? Did she know about Equestria? Thinking about all of this made Adagio uneasy. She ripped her bag opened and then quickly untacked all the photos. Adagio felt herself having a panic attack as she untacked the final photo, of them in her Siren form. Her breathing got faster and tears were now beating against her eyes, just begging to come out.
"Hey," A voice called. Adagio quickly spun around and hid the final photo behind her back. "Twilight's photos were pretty, but your not really aloud to touch them."
"Oh um..." Adagio put a piece of her hair behind her ear. "So I guess I'm busted now."
"Nah. I'm no tattle tail like Sunny Flare." The hot male said. He had gray skin and dark blue hair and eyes and wore the ugly uniform. But he still was hot, which made Adagio a little less nervous. "What's your name?"
"Adagio. I'm suprised you haven't seen me on the news." Adagio gulped, blushing. I'm not single, I'm not single...
"Yeah, I have... you look familiar." The guy put his hand out. "The name is Dean." Adagio shook his hand and nodded, still speechless. "So, why you here, and if I may ask taking files?"
"I'm on a tour of the school, and... I sare the door opened and I'm a curious one." Adagio lied, still thinking I'm not single, I'm not single... "Was it hard when she died?"
"Yeah, well... kinda." Dean said. "You see, she tried to be some girls friends, include my ex, but they were real shit rods to her. Especially my Ex, knowing I may say." He giggle a little.
"Well... some people are bitches. To admit, I use to be a real one."
Dean smiled. "We all are sometimes."
Adagio smiled. And relized it shouldn't take five minutes to use the bathroom. "You know, I really should get back to my tour, but it was really nice to meet you."
"You too. And, don't worry about the photos. Nobody checks in here." He picked up a book and put it in her bag. "There is a story to go along with it as well."
Adagio smiled and left the room, digging the stolen items deeper in her bag of infinite items. After taking a deep breath, a hand grabbed her and threw her into another abandoned classroom. It was so quick she didn't even see the face. The person threw her onto a desk with a hard force.
"What the hell!" She screamed.
"Shhhh!" Sugar Coat yelled, hushing her. "What the hell are you doing here?" She whispered.
* * *
"Scootaloo? I thought you were in jail!" Applebloom said, staring at Scootaloo who was in her black Speed hoodie.
"And I though these police were smart. They didn't even notice me. Why the hell would you run away and say you where kidnapped?" She screamed, pressing her lips together.
"I found out Adagio was in Noah's Dawn and got mad and you know I say random things when I mad." Applebloom looked apologetically at her friend, who showed no emotion. "You don't look suprised?"
"If Diamond Tiara comes to you asking where the files are, don't say I took them..."
"But she lied, are we going to do something?"
"Fuck this," Harmony said, sitting on the bed. "I'm going to bed."
"Who's this?" Scootaloo questioned,
"Harmony Blaze."
With suprise, Scootaloo threw her head back. "I'm gone for five minutes and all shit goes down!"
"Where's Sweetie Belle?" Applebloom asked, taking her jacket off.
"Making up homework, which I'm not gonna do."
"Congrats Scootaloo. Your going to high school and you have more discipline events then the whole school combined."
Harmony let out a puff of air that sounded alot like a laugh. Applebloom shot a look at her that made her puck her lips. She still smirked a little.
"So, we doing anything?" Harmony asked.
"I'm going to make it up to you and Sweetie Belle." Applebloom said, looking again at Scootaloo.
"It's not a good idea." Harmony shook her head, throwing a pillow over her head.
"Sweetie Belle isn't allowed out of the house. She's not even allowed out Raritys sight."
"Okay, is she mad at me?"
"She was more worried about your kidnapping to be mad at you."
"Damnit." Applebloom mumbled.
* * *
"Excuse me?" Adagio asked Sugar Coat, trying to find a clock in the darkness.
"You, what the hell are you doing here?" She asked.
The Siren nodded in confusion. "I met you once, when you told us about Faith, now what the hell do you mean-"
Sugar Coat but her lip and sighed deeply. "There aren't cameras. Why are you here! Stay at Canterlot High! Stay away from me!"
"You? Why? Is it because you told us about about the murder, because aren't you moving in with Scootaloo?-"
Sugar Coat nodded repeatedly then screamed out, "No cameras! Yes! If Scootaloo tells anyone I told you or any of you shit holes I sare her burry alive, I'm dead, you hear me! And obviously I'm not living with Scootaloo because her and her little sister are going to, who knows where!"
"Can you do me a favor and act the tiniest bit stable?" Adagio took her fingers and moved them so close to each other you couldn't see a space between them.
"Stable! Is the rest of the back here?-"
"Calm your shit Sugar Coat!" Adagio yelled like Sugar Coat. "A little girl I hired to take my files fucked up and now Applebloom knows."
"Jesus Christ Adagio!" Sugar Coat roared, her face red. "She better not found my file!"
"She didn't. And nobody knows we were friends." Adagio calmed down, breathing as a lady said to calm her down. Sugar Coat did the same.
"Why were you in Twilight's room stealing files?" Adagios eyes opened up in shock. "I sare. You were talking to my Ex, Dean as well."
"He said he wouldn't tell I stole some papers."
"Also said he loved me, then he dumped me for being a bitch."
"We're you a real bitch to Twilight?"
"Shes a loser."
"I think she wanted to be your friend."
"And I think she sould have been in Noah's Dawn way before us." Sugar Coat felt her anger coming on, so she quickly turned away from Adagio.
"I think she killed herself for more reasons then one. I think including you."
"Indigo started it. She wanted to take our group over. But I stopped her."
"Wait..." a though started across Adagios mind. "Was she in Noah's Dawn?"
Sugar Coat quickly turned around. "Maybe... I don't thinks so."
"Did she know a girl?"
She nodded as if Adagio was an idiot. "Many."
"No, a specific girl. Rainbow Dash?"
* * *
Sunset and Applejack walked down the sidewalk holding their coolatas close to themselves. Sunset couldn't help but notice Applejack. Her face was cold and sad. Her voice was broken. She seemed so... sad. The bacon haired girl hated seeing friend upset. Especially sence her sister had just been 'rescued'.
"Are you alright?" She couldn't help but ask. Applejack looked up at her and nodded.
"Yeah."
"It's about Applebloom. Isn't it." Applejack wasn't a good liar, and Sunset was a good mind reader.
Applejack nodded again. "I think she's lying about being kidnapped. She found Harmony. She was with Diamond Tiara! What?"
Sunset shrugged and sipped her drink. "Ask her if she was lying. And ask Harmony. And did you even tell Aria?"
"Ofcourse I didn't."
"What didn't you tell me?" Aria asked, sneaking up on them with Adagio at the perfect moment.
"Damnit." Applejack mumbled.
"Woah, you seriously didn't tell her?" Sunset sipped her drink again. "That's messed up.". Applejack slapped Sunsets arm.
"What? What did you not tell me?" Aria questioned again, worry in her face.
"Um... Applebloom came back from her kidnapping. With Harmony Blaze." Applejack smiled at her pissed off friend.
"What?!" Aria yelled dropping her coffee on the ground. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was scared." Applejack lied, well this time, suprising Sunset Shimmer.
"That was a good lie." Aria said, catching Applejacks good lie.
"Wha?" Applejacks jaw dropped.
Adagio ripped her phone out. She gave it a strange look. "It's from the National Jail station. I'm getting a call from a prisoner."
"Probably Misty to give us more bull." Applejack suggested, rolling her eyes.
"Hello?" Adagio anwsered boredly. As a voice talked on the phone, Adagios Magenta eyes widened and filled with fear.
"Sugar Coat?"
Tapping her purple high heels repeatedly on the ground, Adagio waited for her 'friend' to come out of the little door prisoners came put to visit family or friends. The only thing she could feel was guilt. She had not just put Sugar Coat in jail, but Dean as well. Because they apparently stole the pictures from Twilight's office. She kept wondering though, who noticed they were gone?
Adagios head jerked up as an officer came in, her two hands on Dean and Sugar Coat. Dean stood sadly (Still good looking... Adagio thought) but following the officer as he threw him around. Sugar Coat... a different story. She kept kicking and screaming like a four year old getting a flu shot. Calming down when her butt hit the chair, her face was mad.
"Hi." Adagio said, looking down in shame.
"Don't be like that, apologetic. It's not your fault." Dean smiled, trying to keep a happy face on.
"It's my fault. I should confess."
"Are you out of your mind?" Sugar Coat yelled. "You can't do that! You can consider yourself dead!"
Adagios eyebrows knitted together. "Huh?"
"Indigo found out about our little conversation. And she also found out about Dean in Twilight's office, so being a star student and adored by all even though she's grumpy, she lied that us two took it and got away with it." Sugar Coat bit her lip, trying to keep control of her temper.
"And I knew none of this?" Demanded Dean in confusion.
Sugar Coat nodded for two different reasons. "Anyway, I also broke into Noah's Dawn before I got arrested and found guess who's file?"
"Indigo Zap." Adagio leaned back on her chair in disappointment and suprise. Then she let a long breath of air out.
"And guess who she was roommates with. Besties with?"
"Who?" Both Dean and Adagio asked.
"That girl you mentioned, Rainbow Dash."
Adagio nodded her head. "Your fucking kidding me?"
"I wish." Sugar Coat replied.
* * *
As the sun rays slid threw the gray clouds covering the sky, Rarity, who was out of breath, kept repeatedly throwing knives at a block of wood. Half of the knives were scattered across the floor, and ones that made it in held on for dear life. Her fails didn't stop her. She wouldn't let F, who she knew for certain wasn't Misty, hurt her or anyone.
"What in tarnation are you doing?" Applejack asked, walking over to her helpless friend. Her long blonde hair was down and she was wearing high wasted Jean shorts and a short colared green top.
Rarity turned and looked at Applejack, sweat dripping down her forehead. "Well, what does it look like dear?" She turned back and picked up a knife. "Training!"
She threw the knife at the wood block. It missed and hit a shed by the handle.
Applejack nodded in disappointment. "Rarity, you shouldn't be training to do this. You should learn to use a gun."
Pulling her purple hair back into a sloppy bun, she turned back to Applejack, sweating and heavily breathing. "Why? So I can shoot it in my face! Knives are easy-to-use!"
"Wikipedia for "The Hunger Games" is about as relevant as a can of Dr. Pepper. You'll never be able to throw a knife well by doing this. You need a coach. And this could take years. A gun could take a day."
Rarity nodded. "I'm not using a gun! When Sweetie Belle was a baby she almost killed me with one. I've feared them ever sence."
"It was a Nerf gun I bet." Applejack retorted.
"Is that what the country folks grew up with?" Rarity asked with annoyness in her voice, throwing another knife that missed.
"No," Applejack picked a knife up and threw it. "We grew up with Apples."
Applejack watched Raritys jaw drop as she relized the knife went into the center of the wood block.
* * *
"You wanted to know about Harmony and you shiver every time you hear her name." Pinkie Pie said unwrapping a brownie. "What's wrong?"
"I never thought we'd find her." Aria replied, moving her sholders. "What if I screw something up?"
"Don't you always?"
Aria gave Pinkie Pie a pissed look. "What? Please tell me what you haven't screwed up?"
She sat there and thought for a few moments. "I didn't screw up..." Pinkie Pie sat in suspense. "Ugh," she sighed. "You're right. I screw up every thing. I should have died when I fell of that cliff." A smile crossed Pinkies mouth. "What?"
"I needed a find a way for that to come up. What cliff?"
"Nothing, it's nothing."
Pinkie nodded. "Sonata mentioned it before. She said you fell of a cliff a long time ago but it was really small so you were all right."
"After we lost the battle of the bands, I sorta ran away. And I went to Forerunner cliff, to watch the sun set and just relax myself and I trip and almost snapped my neck."
Pinkie stopped chewing her cupcake. "Oh my god, why didn't you tell us?"
"It wasn't important."
"Important? I live near the Forerunner cliff, it's near my rock farm! Thousands of pointy rocks down there! And not to mention it's fifty feet! How did you survive?"
"Celestia. I guess."
Pinkie Pie sat there, looking confused. "What was Equestria like-"
Aria dropped her fork quickly. "Applebloom hey... who is this?"
The girl who stood nest to Applebloom gave her a new feeling that she couldn't describe.
"I need you to meet someone. This is Harmony Blaze." Applebloom introduced.
Aria stared at Harmony. She looked just like her. And she had the pendant. She couldn't believe this. And Pinkie Pie, was digging so deep into her cupcake, looking for an escape.
"Do you remember me?" Harmony asked, as if she knew who she was. She put her hands in her pockets, as if she was digging for an escape as well.
"No." Aria responded, having no more thought. "But I missed you."
* * *
"Sweetie Belle!" Her mother called. Sweetie Belle boredly jerked her head up and looked at her mother.
"Yes mother?" She said, getting up and swinging around the cornor of the hall, almost into her mother.
Her mom stepped back and looked her in the eye. "Someone is here."
With confusion, Sweetie Belle walked into her kitchen. A recognizable face sat there. Oh, only graceful Ms. Cheerilie, who was showing.
"Oh jesus." She mumbled.
"Prison. Wow. I'm not suprised." She snickered.
"I'm catching up on homework, what would you like?" Sweetie Belle asked politely and shyly.
"An anwser that isn't shitty as your open responce."
Hey, nobody made fun of Sweetie Belles work.
"So you want an anwser that some up 1/4 + 1/2 not equaling 3/4th? Sorry, this isn't idiot villie." Sweetie Belle said in a disappointed sarcasm.
She snickered again as she pulled on her too tight jacket and her shades. "I know." She stood up and passed Sweetie Belle. "It's Dimwit town."
"That's two stops away from what is your problem?"
"You three. How did you know? You could destroy me!"
"You or your sence of fashion?, because I think our dropped that in Mindless lagoon." Sweetie Belle leaned against the door frame.
Ms. Cheerilie adjusted her huge hat. "It's think you dropped your sence somewhere between Scootaloo and Applebloom."
"Those aren't towns, they're people-" she shook her head of the childish thoughs. "where is this going?"
"Applebloom ran away so she wouldn't get arrested. You know that, right?"
"No." Sweetie Belle avoided a heavy sarcasm so she looked as if she had no clue. Little did anyone know, she was the one who suggested the plan to Applebloom. She knew all along. Who dropped there sence between Scootaloo and Applebloom now?
"Well she did. Aren't you mad?"
"She did it for a reason. And plus, jail didn't go on my record because I was framed."
Cheerlie jerked her head to the side. "Are you sure about that Sweetie Belle?"
Sweetie Belle stepped away. "If you excuse me, I have a Valedictorian speech to write. Because that's how shitty my open responce are."
* * *
Sour Sweet pulled an arrow from her quiver and knoched it. Then she raised the bow and pulled the string to her chin. Slowly breathing, she let out a long exhale before shooting and hitting a bullseye.
"Hi," Sour Sweet jumped as she turned to the voice. It was Adagio.
She narrowed her eyes. "You're the girl I told about the murder right?"
"Yeah, that's me!" Adagio replied enthused. "And I need training in motercross. And sence Sugar Coat is in jail..."
"Hold on, I thought she was sick?" Sour Sweet questioned, dropping the arrow she had in her hand.
"Oh... she is sick! Where is my mind today!" Adagio cried, hoping to take it back. "Sence she's sick, I need a motercross trainer."
"First of all, we don't train Wondercolts, second, I don't to motercross," she raised the bow string to her chin. "I shoot."
She let go off the string and split her previous arrow. Adagio stood in a shy fear.
"Okay, but maybe you could talk to Indigo Zap, about training a Shadowbolt?"
Sour Sweet gave her a straight look. "You're coming here?" She pointed to the school building behind her.
Adagio smiled and nodded as if she was really excited and gave a damn about school.
"But, the school year is almost over."
"Let's face it, I was gone for a real long time. I'm staying back. And I want to stay back here."
"Okay," she nodded. "Fine. I'll speak to Indigo. But she's real tough."
"Got it." Adagio replied, thinking about her and Sugar Coats plan while she played with the blade in her leather jacket.
* * *
"What was so important you spammed me with the same words, 'Come over!', seventy-five times?" Scootaloo asked, reading the words 'come over' of her cell.
"She came here Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle screamed, worry in her tiny puples.
"I know many shes."
Sweetie Belle stared at Scootaloo and blinked many times before freaking out and yelling, "Ms. Cheerilie!"
"Oh, so she's making year round trips now."
"What does that mean?"
Scootaloo sighed. "She came to me two weeks ago."
"Oh yeah, I forgot, thanks for telling me that by the way." Sweetie Belle said with heavy sarcasm.
"Sorry, I forgot, my Aunt was holding a steak knife to my throat."
Sweetie Belle typed a few more words of her Valedictorian Speech. "Did you ever visit her?"
"No, Sabrina can't even watch TV without needing her hitting pillow." Scootaloo sat on Sweetie Belles bed.
"Wow. Where are you living?" Sweetie Belle asked, flipped her purple and pink curls.
"With Sabrinas Aunt."
"What about your mom?"
Scootaloo went dead silent, leaving Sweetie Belle with a pile of guilt building up in her chest.
"It was a dumb-"
"Noah's Dawn." Scootaloo said. "I guess I forgot. I sare her once for five minutes and I miss her. I told her I would visit her all the time. And I love her."
Sweetie Belle quickly embraced her friend in a hug as tears dripped down the brave girls face.
"I wanna visit her."
"I know you wanna visit your mom."

"Hi Sonata," Fluttershy greeted as she walked over to Sonata, who had been typing away on a computer in Canterlot Highs library for five hours. "What are you writing about?"
Almost to tierd to respond, Sonata yawned. "Uh... history."
"Can I read?" Fluttershy asked.
"Go ahead. I'm not a good writer thought."
Fluttershy examined the page on the computer and read her history paper, she only read so much before she relized something was wrong. "History?"
"Well, more like auto biography."
"Why on earth are you writing about are kidnapping! And our pain?"
"So much time was lost. I want to make something up with that time, so I'm making a book about what happened during our kidnapping. I'm calling it 'The Story of -F'! Cool?"
She shook her head with shock. "No, not really. Some things that happened down there are suppose to be secrets. If you delete this whole thing, maybe I could take you to Taco Bell?"
Sonata went to her Google Docs and deleted the whole paper. "TACOS!"
* * *
Aria stared down at her frappuccino. Discussion between her and Harmony was limited. Neither herself or Harmony knew what to say. Harmony reminded Aria of Alison. The element if mystery to her, then beauty she had, and how she reminded her of herself.
"When did you come here?" Aria asked.
"After fuck swear the bearded banished you, he told me I should just find some friends so I punched him and jumped threw the portal. Then I was alone, starving on the street, and I got put into Noah's Dawn for being a runaway." Harmony sipped her drink. "And I was there for 4 years until I escaped and found Applebloom."
She nodded. "He brain washed us."
"Yeah, he tried to brain wash me."
"I just want you to know," Aria paused and breathed heavily to avoid tears that were coming up for some reason she didn't know. "All the stuff in the news about murders isn't true."
"I'm not an idiot." Harmony said as she put her cup down. "I know that."
"Also, I'm sorry. For avoiding you."
"You didn't avoid me, I avoided you. You shouldn't apologize."
"I wish we could get that time pack. That we lost." Aria adjusted her jacket and gritted her teeth softly.
"Well no need to lose any more time," Harmony smirked and stood up. "Wanna go down town? There's kareoke."
Aria nodded quickly. "I can't sing. I lost my pendant."
Harmony let out a singing note that sounded identical to a dying cat. "Me and you both, mom."
Aria smiled and felt a little bit of happiness as Harmony called her 'mom'. "Let's go."
* * *
Adagio stood in a dark gym, waiting game for Indigo to show up and teach her motercross. Sugar Coats exact words swam threw her head. "Trick her into being your friend, then find out why she lied and make her take it back.". This had played in her head like a radio so many times, she memorized everything about it. Her messy hair, her crossed eyes because she didn't her glasses, which Adagio thought she had just used to make her more stable.
She had broke into Indigos locker with no premission, obviously. A whole box of papers had been in there. And of course, the Noah's Dawn stamp was plastered on top off the box. So, did she really think a box from a place nobody knew she had really been to would hide in her locker -the locker Adagio could and which she had unlock by just shaking the lock a little- and be safe?
The blade shined in her jacket. Sugar Coat told her to keep a weapon near incase Indigo went nuts and tried to hurt her, like another nurse she had hurt. Adagio feared she would get hurt or worse, someone she cared about would be hurt. And worse, Indigo would get away it murder.
"Adagio Dazzle."
She quickly dropped the blade in her jacket and looked over at the person who had spoke. Indigo had light skin dark blue hair with lighter streaks. She also had goggles on her head being used as a headband instead of a piece of saftey gear.
"That- that's me!" Adagio cried nervously, her presents giving her a shake.
Indigo rolled her eyes. "Didn't ask."
"Okay." Adagio smiled, trying to look as tiniest bit normal and not scared as possible.
"Get on the motorcycle." She demanded.
"Oh well shouldn't I-"
Adagio was cut off by Indigo pointing firmly to a motercycle. Star student? Yeah, that was bullshit. She stood up and walked over to the motercycle. It was definitely Sugar Coats motercycle. It had her favorite colors, her sweet smell, and not to mention her name was carved into the front of the helmet Indigo threw at her.
"Where is Sugar Coat?" Adagio asked, making the strap on her helmet tighter.
Indigos focus became still. She turned slightly away from the Siren and replied. "I don't know."
Adagio knew she was a bad lier and had turned away to conceal her smirk. What did she do when she told the teachers? Pull the goggles to her mouth. Probably an unknown note.
"Now what?-"
"Too many questions missy." Indigo Zap said, obviously controlling her unstable temper.
"How did you know her?" Adagio felt her heart jump. She hadn't read the letters, or even opened the box. But shaking the box, she heard paper.
Indigo turned her sholder. "Huh?"
"I need to use the bathroom."
"Sit your ass back down." Indigo demanded. "I'm not here to watch you roam around and be the jackass they say you are on TV."
"I'm not a jackass."
"Sure." Sarcasm grave deeply into her voice.
"I'm not!"
"Sit down!" Indigo threw the helmet she had in her hand at the window to an office. It shattered immediately.
Adagio ripped the blade from her jacket and slowly breathed as Indigo hesitated in its glance. Well, so much for the plan. Adagio thought.
"A knife! WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE!?!" She roared at the top of her lungs. Her pail face was now bright red.
"Because of the kidnapper-"
Indigo ran onto the little stage four motercycles, including Adagios, were she stared on. Indigo ripped the dagger out of Adagios fist, cause Adagio to shriek at the pain she got from the knife cutting her hand. Indigo threw Adagio off the motercycle onto the floor. The motercycle fell on top of Adagios foot, crushing it. Tears now streamed down her face.
She still pushed the knife upwards, as Indigo pushed it towards her chest. The Shadowbolt showed no mercy. She was clearing plain nuts and wanted to kill Adagio. The knife slipped and cutted Adagio so many times, the metal taste of the blood had dripped into her mouth.
Indigo hadn't even gotten a scratch, but for some reason, she was crying harder then Adagio, who had multiple cuts on her hands, had crushed her foot, and was loosing this fight poorly. Adagios grip got weaker and she felt her eyes become tierd and slowly begin to shut. She felt the knife skid her cheek, and then fall to the ground. Indigo had gotten knocked our by a dart. Her body soon fell asleep and tumbled off Adagios.
Because of her worry, she checked the Shadowbolts pulse. Beating perfectly. Relief filled Adagios soul as she slowly fell asleep. As her eyes were half shut, a shadow figure stood on top of her. The light cleared and a girl with short pink and purple hair and light teal skin stood over her in a Shadowbolt uniform. Adagio knew her name was Sunny Flare, or at least the girl looked like how Sugar Coat described her one afternoon in Noah's Dawn
"Are you okay?" Sunny Flare asked, holding a dart gun in her hand.
* * *
"Did Aria respond to any of your calls?" Rarity asked, texting away on her phone.
Applejack nodded. "She's with Harmony. Let her be."
"Where's Adagio?" Sonata piped up.
"I don't know." Sunset, who had been finishing homework, said, worry in her words. "But, has anyone else wondered where she has been?"
Sonata shrugged. "She's been acting strange. Every five minutes, she needs to use the bathroom."
"Maybe she's pregnant." Fluttershy suggested, regretting those three words as Sunsets face turned red.
"She's not pregnant." Sunset crossed her arms.
Fluttershy looked at Sonata and whispered, "Has she gotten-"
Sunset screamed loudly so Fluttershy couldn't continue. Rarity picked up a magazine and threw it at Sunset, who stood there biting her lip.
The door slammed opened and closed quickly in the hall. Sonata screamed from the kitchen, "Adagio? You home?"
A girl walked in, messy long white hair, black combat boots, and what looked like a purple sundress. She dropped her bag and stared around the room. "Where's Adagio?"
"Ugh." Sunset rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here, Sugar Coat?"
"This is the wrong house." She stepped back. "Oops."
"You want Adagio and she lives here. And you're a Shadowbolt, what do you want?" Applejack complaimed, ripping the cap of an Frizzy Apple Soda.
"Um... um... um... fuck." She finally concluded. Sunset eyed the seam of her dress, which she was picking on. Her legs were shaking a little. And she could also smell Noah's Dawn on her.
"You okay?" She asked.
Sugar Coat nodded. "Is Aria here?"
"Nope."
She kept picking her seam. "Is need to go..."
"Why do you need them?" Sonata asked, slumping in her chair.
"Just because..." Sugar Coat looked as if she would blow up or confusion, lying, and well... fright. Sunset lifted up her phone and snuck a picture of the girl and her worried state. Fluttershy nugged her showing the disrespect that came with this.
Sonata, on the other hand, was getting a phone call from a number she didn't know. She stared at it, wanting to pick it up but not.
"Just anwser it Sonata." Rarity said.
"Hello!" Sonata cried as she picked up her phone. Upside down. Yup, that was Sonata. Her happy, cheerful face turned to a stone of sadness. She placed her iPhone down and looked at Sugar Coat, while the voice on the phone kept speaking. "You have anything to say?"
* * *
Adagio opened her eyes, and the smell of hospital filled her nose. Her ankle was wrapped in the normal hospital wrapping. It was purple, unlike last time when her arm got stabbed, Talent, or Sweetie Belle, left this ugly gold wrap. She didn't wear the gold.
At the end of the bed, Aria and Scootaloo stood there, arms crossed and angrey.
Aria kept her same look and said, "You and Sugar Shit have alot of explaining to do."
Sunset paced back and forth, hands of her face, having no idea what to say to Sugar Coat and Adagio. Adagio was still in the hospital bed, and she hadn't move sence she woken up. Aria haden't either. Sugar Coat was basically dragged there. And Scootaloo had forced Applebloom to come.
"Let me get this straight." Sunset finally said, stopping her pacing in circles. "Adagio and Aria kept it a secret that Adagio was in Noah's Dawn." She looked to Aria to see if she was getting this right, but Aria just nodded.
"It wasn't a big deal, and plus, this was after The Battle of the Bands." Aria retorted.
"Battle of the what now?" Sugar Coat asked, adjusting her glasses.
Sunset stared at them both. "You didn't even tell Sonata. And next topic, you, Dazzle, took papers from Twilight's office, and I had to sneak them back in. So you're welcome for getting you out of jail Sugar Coat." Sugar Coat nodded. "And finally, you fake join the Shadowbolts so you can get training from a lunatic from Noah's Dawn, who was best friends with Rainbow? Seriously!"
"I was so close to finding F!" Adagio hissed, sitting up.
"Who's F!!?" Sugar Coat screamed. Aria hushed her.
"Really? You did a hella good job." Sunset told Adagio, very rudely.
"And sending in our worse enemy to steal your files?" Scootaloo piped up, giving an annoyed look at Adagio. "Did you really think we wouldn't find out?"
"Guys! Look, I'm sorry okay! I didn't want to hide all this from you! But I had to! If you know, F will know, and I'll be in more hot water." Adagio apologized.
"Oh you're already drowning in hot water." Sunset said, nodding her head repeatedly.
"Sunset, did you feel oh so comfortable telling us you were F.5?" Aria said, crossing her arms.
"I'm done." Sugar Coat got up and left the room, with nobody stopping her.
Sunset nodded quickly. "Fuck! You're right. I'm sorry Adagio. But, who on earth did you think was F-"
"It's gone." Adagio panicked.
"What?" Applebloom asked, standing up from the chair her and Scootaloo were sharing.
"The box of papers Indigo had in her locker. There gone." Adagio looked up. "F took them."
"So you went in Indianas locker?" Aria deeply sighed. Scootaloo looked at her as if she just said Earth was flat.
"Yes, and this box was from Noah's... SON OF A BITCH!" Adagio screamed, throwing her bag to the ground. Well, this is why she was in Noah's Dawn. She picked up a chocolate bar she had on her bed and took a bite out of it.
"What?" Sunset asked, as Adagio got up and hopped over to get her bag. Then she grabbed a crutch and began walking. She scremed Sugar Coats name and before Sunset knew it, she was there.
"What do you need?" She said, in a very very sassy tone. Yes, that was worth two verys.
"Field Trip everyone, and you're driving Sugar Coat." Adagio demanded, turning to the door.
"I'm not going on a field trip, I gotta go back to my hospital room and show Sweetie and Applebloom there dresses for the dance. Which is tommorow unless one of you get killed." Scootaloo grabbed Appleblooms wrist and left the girls who were gonna do who knows what.
"Why am I driving?" Sugar Coat asked, now adjusting her bow tie on her school uniform.
"You know where Sunny Flare lives, right?" Adagio asked, not in a fool around mood.
"Yes-"
"Sunny was the last face I sare before I passed out. And I'm more then 100% sure she took the box. And you know where she lives so let's go!" She demanded again.
"The box probably has Teddy Grams.' Aria said, trying to stop her sister. But Adagio just kept walking with her clutches, and to Arias surprise, Sunset followed her.
* * *
Sweetie Belle and Applebloom sat in the two hospital chairs Scootaloo had in her hospital room. Scootaloo threw the final outfit on the bed. There where three outfits, one black cloak with a sparkler knee long dress, then black tights and black wedges. Another one was a white version of that outfit, but with Sweetie Belles Talent Cloak instead of a plain cloak. The final outfit a was the same look as the first outfit, but it was a green cloak and dress, and black tights and Appleblooms Salvage boots.
"I am not wearing that to the dance." Applebloom demaded, picking the black cloak up.
Scootaloo nodded and ripped the black cloak out of her hand. "The black outfits mine, for Speed, the white ones for Sweetie Belle, Talent, and then green one is for you,Salvage."
"What? Sence Vice Principle Luna is letting us 8th graders crash the Seniors Prom, we're gonna crash it looking like that?" Sweetie Belle asked in disbelief.
"You've picked anything better for the dance that is... tommorow!?" Scootaloo screamed, clipping her cloak on around her neck. She didn't look half bad, to Appleblooms suprise.
"Ofcourse not but-"
"But what if F is there, Applebloom?"
Applebloom shook her head. "F won't be."
"And isn't Misty F, who's in jail?" Sweetie Belle finished.
Scootaloo walked over to a wall, which was covered by a curtain. She moved the curtain so her fellow Crusaders could see the wall. The wall, which usually was white with purple flowers, now had huge writing in a red substance on it. Obviously, Scootaloo had tried to scrub it off the walls, but failed.
Keep calm bitch and enjoy your last dance. Didn't you here? I got an invitation. It's no Grand Galloping Gala, but it's just as well. You all in the same place. Pfft. Easy as defeating. -F
"Oh my god." Applebloom gasped in shock.
"Shit." Sweetie Belle mumbled, her pupils smaller then a grain of salt.
"See what I mean?" Scootaloo said, putting the curtain back over the message.
"So F's gonna be there? Great." Sweetie Belle sighed in disbelief.
"And I think F's gonna throw you under the bus Applebloom." Scootaloos face solomomed, and her arms crossed. Appleblooms face forced confusion. "The kidnapping. F is gonna show its a lie."
"F can throw me under a roller coaster as far as I'm concerned." Applebloom said, anger in her voice. "No one will find out."
"I don't know about that." Sweetie Belle said, biting her lip.
"Thanks for the help." Scootaloo smiled in sarcasm, as she slowly put her hoodie up.
* * *
"Hey! Hello?" Sunset, Adagio, Sugar Coat, and Aria knocked repeatedly on Sunny Flares door. No answer.
Arias sighed. "She's not home. Lets go."
"No!" Adagio shrieked as she grabbed Aria, who was already half way down the four stairs on the pourch. "We can't leave!"
"Adagio! She isn't here! Those letters mean nothing! And I don't want you to break another leg trying to get that box back! Especially for the Prom tommorow."
Sugar Coat walked down all the stairs. "I'm with Aria. This is dumb. And if Indigo sees me with you guys, I'll be the next lunch special." When she spoke, her arms kept crossed and her voice was bored.
"Didn't think this was dumb five minutes ago." Sunset said, siding with Adagio.
"There was a jackass driving like SpongeBob SquarePants." She exclaimed, getting a strange look from Aria. "What? Some people don't deserve there driving license."
"Cough cough you." Aria coughed.
"Funny. I was looking for you." A voice inturuppted. It was Sunny Flare. She had the box in her hand.
"You took that from my bag." Adagio hopped down the stairs and took it out of the girls hands.
"It's fine because my friend Indigo has something to tell you ladies." Sunny stepped away. Indigo walked over, crossing her arms as if she was cold, and a very sad look on her face. She had obviously been crying. "Tell them."
"I was close friends with Rainbow Dash in Noah's Dawn." Indigo said. Sunny Flare nodded, clearly unaware what else would come of her mouth.
"And I helped her fake her death."
* * *
"Is Dagi going to be okay?" Sonata asked Rarity, who was measuring her for a dress. Them two, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were picking out outfits or clothe they wanted in there prom dress.
"She'll be fine." Fluttershy anwsered, clicking butterfly earrings, not knowing perfectly she was going to be fine.
"Yeah don't worry Sugarcube." Applejack assured, throwing a scarf on and modeling with it in the mirror.
Sonata nodded. "Okay, if you say so."
Pinkie Pie stood up from trying to make a little hat and walked over to Sonata. She put a hand on her sholder. "What's wrong?"
"F's gonna ruin this. I know if." Sonata said as tears slowly creeped down her cheek. "I don't want this to be ruined. I don't. One peaceful day. But that will never happen. Ever. Ever!" She fell to the floor and began to ball. "And my own sisters didnt even tell me that one of them was in Noah's Dawn!"
"Just because they didn't want you to freak out and be scared for her." Rarity told her, handing her a tissue.
"But... but..." Sonata stuttered. She looked up hopelessly and sadly. "And I that weak?"
"No! No you're very strong! You survived The Maze with us! You survived that pain! You're so strong I bet you could lift a car!" Rarity smiled, and yelled the whole thing aloud.
"But don't try that." Applejack assured, watching Sonatas frown turn to a huge smile. She quickly stood up and hugged all of them.
"Thank you guys." She said with a joy. In 8 seconds, according to Rarity, Sunset, Aria, and Adagio all stood at the door, big eyed. And what was obviously gonna happen? Trouble Applejack thought.
"Dagi!" Sonata cheered as she embraced her sister. Adagio hugged her back, and she quickly sat on a seat.
"What's going on?" Pinkie Pie asked, standing up.
"Rainbow Dash dipped when F came around, that's what happened!" Aria exclaimed. Sunset slapped her in the chest.
"Rainbows Dash faked her murder, or was going to." Sunset accurately repeated.
"What?" Fluttershy yelled.
"Sonata found out Rainbow was in Noah's Dawn, and so when I went on a tour of Crystal Prep to find more information, F went into Twilight's office. And of course I went in and she had pictures of the battle of the bands and a book so I took them. And then Sugar Coat, who was my only friend in Noah's Dawn sare me and told me to not go here. Then, she and her ex, Dean, got arrested for taking the pictures. And she told me the girl who lied and told, Indigo, was in Noah's Dawn and room mates with Rainbow. So, I faked being a Shadowbolt and brought a knife to a session of motercross me and Indigo were gonna have. I went in her locker a found a Noah's Dawn box. Then she found out I had the knife and attacked me. Then, Sunny Flare put a dart in her neck and took the box. She read the letters that were in there, and they were letters between Rainbow and Indigo planning her death."
"Slow down," Applejack demanded, "And she came to you and told you this?"
"No, Sunny forced her too. But she didn't know she would say something about the murder." Aria said.
"So she's not dead?" Rarity asked, putting her tape measure away.
"For all we know she could be in Hawaii under the name Lela Andrews." Sunset took a deep breath.
"Or she could be under our feet right now," Applejack said, "how will we know if she's dead or not?"
"If F is at that dance tomorow, we might find out." Sonata suggested.
"We have one advantage, F doesn't know we known this." Adagio said.
Fluttershy took a deep breath. "Do The Crusaders know?"
Adagio nodded. "Not yet."
* * *
"What's going on? And we're Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked. Her and Applebloom were at Pinkie Pies apartment, waiting to see what Aria, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie had to say.
Rarity lifted a plate of scones to the two with a nervous smile. "Scones?"
"I hate scones." Applebloom told them, sipping her tea.
Aria stood there, annoyed that the other three hadn't said anything. "Rainbow faked her death."
Applebloom spit the the tea in her mouth back into her cup and then wipped the rest of the tea from her mouth. "What!"
"A buddy she had in Noah's Dawn told us." Pinkie finished, Rarity glancing at her.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sweetie Belle said nervously.
Applebloom put some hair behind her ears and explained it all. All of it. It took about five minutes, but they understood. Barely.
Applebloom nodded. "No. She wouldn't do this. Leave when F was coming around?"
"Indigo could have easily faked write those." Sweetie Belle suggested, biting into a blueberry scone.
"No." Applejack nodded. "That's not the case."
"Scootaloo will be devastated is she finds this out. She thought her dying was all her fault!"
"Applebloom, cmon, don't be like that! Look on the bright side!" Pinkie exclaimed with joy that was not needed in this situation.
"Bright side?" Aria asked, starting at her.
"Well don't ask what the bright side is!" Pinkie said, eating a scone.
Aria sighed. Rarity looked at the girls in sorrow. "At the dance tommorow night, we need to find out who F is."
"You better be hiding a gun in your poofy dresses." Sweetie Belle said.
"F will tell all!" Pinkie Pie yelled, eating yet another scone.
"F kidnapped you. Unless you want to be in that maze again, you either need a weapon or you need to protect yourself."
"Applebloom, F is dangerous. That's stamped in our brains. But let's face it, you won't be any safer there, and unless you want F to out fireworks off during Sweetie Belles valedictorian speech, we need to find out who F is." Applejack retorted, her ears annoyed with what they were hearing.
"Fine," Applebloom stood up and began to walk away.
"And Applebloom," Rarity said, making Applebloom turn her back. "Don't tell Scootaloo."
Applebloom turned away and began to walk out the door. "Aria your phone is ringing." Rarity told her.
"Hello?" Aria picked the phone up.
"Aria!" It was Sunset. "It's confirmed."
* * *
"We both agree we need to tell her!" Applebloom asked Sweetie Belle. The two were waiting in Appleblooms bed room for her.
"Yeah, totally." Sweetie Belle paused. "But maybe not."
Applebloom sighed. "Either way, Scootaloo needs to know Rainbow Dash faked her murder and she could possibly be alive." Sweetie Belle paused and looked away. Appleblooms mind quickly went to the word Fuck. "She's right behind me isn't she."
"Course I am." Scootaloo peeped out sounding upset.
* * *
"What's going on?" Rarity asked, as her, Rarity, Aria, and Applejack walked into The Dazzlings house.
Sunset lifted up a doll. "This camera was placed by Rainbow Dash."
Pinkie Pie gasped loudly and clutched the doll. "It's a Ms. Melody Massey!"
"Oh jesus." Adagio mumbled, turning on her swively chair to the laptop on the video.
"A new one for my collection?" Sonata, who who was also there, asked.
Adagio nodded. "Can we please just watched the footage?"
Sunset nodded as she walked over to the laptop. She clicked the play button and they watched as a person in a Adagio wig, threw Rainbow across the room. It was just like the TV shows. Nothing special at all. But it ended right before the person stabbed Rainbow.
Sonata leaned over Sunsets sholder and pointed to to a button at the botton. "Click that."
Sunset did as told and it played were the old video played off. The girls all gasped in shock at what happened:
Rainbow Dash sat up as the person with the knife let got of her. She let put what sounded like a laugh. So did the other person. Rainbow Dash ringed some blood out of her hair and walked over to the camera.
"They're so gonna fall for this!" Rainbow laughed.
"Why wouldn't they?" The person took the hoodie off. It was Alison Grace. "This town is full of idiots. We're ' s that Indigo girl?"
Rainbow shrugged. "Late. I don't think she should help me with this. She'll just squeal."
"Didn't she always in Noah's Dawn?"
"Hey," she said in defense, "She's still one of my best friends."
"Whatever." Alison said.
The video stopped. The girls all stood silently in shock at what a betrayer she was
* * *
"Scootaloo," Applebloom quickly comforted her, but it was too late, she already had tears streaming down her face. "Look,"she put her hand on sholder. "Me and Sweetie Belle aren't even suppose to tell you, but I called you here to tell- ugh!" She swung her hands up in frustration.
"Anyway but this..." Sweetie Belle begged, showing the same frustration as Applebloom.
"Atleast I found out from you two." Scootaloo optimistically told them. "I wouldn't want to find out she dipped when F came around any other way."
"She didn't do that..."
"Then what else is it Sweetie Belle?" She asked in anger. "Rainbow Dash isn't in Rosewood or New York!"
"No," Applebloom gasped, "you don't think she's F?"
"That's exactly what I think." Scootaloo replied with a smile on her face. "She's a liar."
"She can't be F!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, standing up and putting her hands up.
"Why else would she fake her death guys?" Scootaloo asked. "Simple, to get off our radar."
"Scootaloo, Rainbow was your idol." Applebloom said. "Why turn on her now-"
"Because she's a liar!"
"She cared about you!" Both Sweetie Belle and Applebloom screamed.
"Applebloom! Someone's here for you!" Granny Smith said as she walked to the door. "Me and Big Mac are heading out."
"Okay, bye." Applebloom said very politely.
As soon as Granny Smith was gone, Scootaloos purple eyes got wide. "Don't go down there!"
"And why not?" Applebloom asked.
"Who do you think is visiting you? The mayor?" Sweetie Belle asked, on the same thinking boat as Scootaloo.
"Guys," Applebloom walked past Scootaloo and down the stairs of her house. Then she swung around the cornor of the stairs and walked down a small hallway until she was in her dinning room, where Ms. Cheerilie was.
Your fucking kidding me, right? Applebloom said to herself.
"What do you need! I understand, you hate us!" Applebloom screamed without really thinking.
"Well atleast you know I hate you." Ms. Cheerilie smiled as she took her shades off.
"Atleast I can dress appropriately for the summer." Applebloom said as Ms. Cheerilie examined her normal yellow tee shirt, her shorts that were shorter then when she put her arms straight down, and white socks.
"Okay SpongeBob." She stated in sarcasm. "I didn't come here to talk about clothe."
Applebloom felt her temper blow. "Yes! You came here to talk about the baby and how did I know and how Scootaloo is a shit filled role model! Yes! Yes! Yes! I don't give a fuck! Please don't tell me things people have already told me!"
A moment of silence passed. Ms. Cheerilies face became read as she figured her finger near a knife holder. Applebloom knew that she had made the biggest mistake of her life time that hurt more people than herself.
Her teacher grabbed the knife and then with all her strength pinned Applebloom the wall. Ms. Cheerilies hand was held onto her neck so Applebloom could barely breath. She was trying to put the knife into her side, but Applebloom tried her hardest to push it away. She cried out many names many times, but nobody was coming.
Where were her two best friends during this? Oh, how she wishes this was upstairs in her room so she could grab one of Big Mac guns and... well, it was about her only choice. Her mind kept trailing off she forgot what was going on Infront of her. She had totally missed how she had pushed the knife back a little but not too much.
"Stop! Please!" Applebloom begged pulling the knife away. She closed her eyes to prevent tears.
"No, you little bitch!" She screamed, the knife going closer to Appleblooms stomach.
BAM! Applebloom opened her eyes so the tears fell out. She felt her heart jump when the noise went off, but jump even more to see that Ms. Cheerilie had given up. The knife was in Applebloom hand. Ms. Cheerilie had fallen to the ground for a strange reason. And her eyes were open and her skin was paler then usual. And there was a gun shot in her head.
"Are you okay?" Sweetie Belle, who she hadn't even noticed was there, asked. Applebloom once again looked down at Ms. Cheerilies dead body again. Then she looked over at Scootaloo, who she hadn't was there as well. She looked traumatized, tears streaming down her face. Scootaloo had seen many things worse then this, so Applebloom was confused on why she was crying. Then her eyes layed on the gun Scootaloo had in her hand.
Applebloom walked over to Scootaloo and took the knife out of her hand, then she put a hand on her sholder.
"I killed her," Scootaloo cried, not talking her eyes off the body. "I killed her."
"Scootaloo, you saved me. You did what you had to do. If she killed me, she would have killed the rest of us." Applebloom ripped the gun out of her hand and put it on the table. Then she hugged her. "Thank you."
"I would never let you die." She promised as Sweetie Belle walked over with a phone in her hand.
"Hide it or confess?" Sweetie Belle asked, giving her friend a life changing choice.
Scootaloo ripped the phone out of Sweetie Belles hand and then dialed a number.
"911 operater, how can I help you?" The person asked.
"There's been and accident." Scootaloo told the operator.
* * *
"Rainbow Dash knew Alison Grace. Wow," Aria sighed, looking at the window and the sun rays Shining threw it. Then she turned to Sunset. "Shes-"
"She probably was scared." Sunset defended, not knowing if it was the right thing to do. Especially after seeing that video.
"She's a liar Sunset. And she's F!" Aria shouted, a piece of her long bangs going in her mouth.
Sunset breathed heavily as if she might cry. "She can't be F."
Aria slammed her hands on her thighs in disbelief. "Then what is she? A potatoe?"
"A dead body."
"Hopefully." Aria sighed, tilting her head. She walked over to her closet and examine a green cropped Shiney tank top an her green skirt from The Battle of the Bands.
"That's really pretty." Sunset kindly said, ignoring her last sentence.
The Siren glanced at her. "Thanks. I was gonna wear that to the prom, but figured I wanna look more like me and less like... Aria Montgomery."
Sunset snickered. "Mine is purple and red, Rarity picked it."
"Cool." Aria smirked a little. She leaned against her closet and played with her charm bracelet. Her face began to turn red.
"Are you smirking, and blushing?" Sunset asked, pointing to herself.
Aria quickly nodded. "Nooooo!". She paused and looked out her door and paused. "Can... I talk to you?"
* * *
"So... what exactly happened?" Cadence asked The Crusaders, as she paced back and forth in front of the house, holding her notepad ready to write.
Scootaloo remainder silent and still, still not believing the life changing deed she'd done in the last hour. Sweetie Belle stared at Applebloom thinking She's not gonna speak and neither am I, so start talking Applebloom.
"Well, you see... um," Applebloom looked to her two friends for support, but Scootaloo was looking down at the pavement and Sweetie Belle all of a sudden began to look at the sky. "What did happen?" Applebloom asked as if Cadence was if she was a student and Applebloom herself was a teacher.
Cadence sighed deeply. "Your teacher was shot in the head. In your house. Not to mention you called 911."
"We were in Appleblooms room watching television, and then we heard a loud bang, a gun shot I guess, sound. So we went down stairs and there she was, dead. We're petrified and scared so I got a gun incase someone else was in the house coming after us. We have no clue why Ms. Cheerilie was in the house." Applebloom was too suprised to see this lie was slipping from Scootaloos mouth, and she was lying about murder! Murder!!!
"But, the gun you had was the same gun your teacher was killed with, how's that possible Scootaloo?" Cadence moved one of her eyebrows close to her eyes and one up high.
"Well, they had many of the same guns." Scootaloo told her. "And we'll I'm at it, are you sure the person wasn't Appleblooms kidnapper?" Scootaloo looked over to Applebloom, a light smirk on her face.
"Good theory." She scribbled that on her notepad. Then she turned and walked away.
Applebloom looked at Scootaloo, pretty sure that was she was a clone. "What the heck was that!" She screamed, waking her in the arm. "One minute you're crying your eyes out, the next you're saying lie after lie!"
"Applebloom, I lied for you. And me. But mostly for you. And maybe a tiny bit for Sweetie Belle." Scootaloo whispered, leaning in.
"You moron! Now Applebloom has no choice to say the kidnapping was real!" Sweetie Belle yelled a little to loudly, but nobody noticed.
"Oh... god." Scootaloo looked down in worry.
"Ugh!" Sweetie Belle sighed as she put her hands on her head and her elbows on her knees. "We're so screwed!"
Ring ring. The three froze. Damnit they all thought as they ripped there phone out.
Claps. I thought you'd snap. -F
* * *
Aria and Sunset layed next to eachother on there backs on Arias bed, staring up to the ceiling. Aria kept her legs crossed as Sunset blabbering on about questions she had for Aria, who had just told her her crush she had kept to herself for a hella long time.
"So," Sunset began, still looking at the ceiling. "you haden't told anyone you like Rarity?"
Aria nodded. "Ofcourse not."
"Did you ever talk to her?" Sunset asked, brushing her hair from her check.
Aria glared at her. "Again, ofcourse not!"
"Well you gotta, Aria." Sunset sat up. "Or it'll never happen."
"Well... ugh, it could ruin the tiny friendship we have!" Aria slammed her hands on the covers.
"True." Sunset admitted, walking back over to the outfit Aria had picked for the dance. "But, it wouldn't hurt to try."
"Yes it would."
"Aria-"
"Sunset, just stop. We should go downstairs and check up on the others." Aria demanded as she left her room.
* * *
The Canterlot High Prom. Seniors and 'soon-to-be-fresheman' were invited. It was four hours of dancing, talking, dancing, and girls fighting over a plastic crown that would probably snap in less then five days. Atleast this is how Aria sare it all. She couldn't care less about this dance. And the fact she needed to go made her regret dragging Adagio out of bed to go to the trail.
The day before, Misty had been released from prison. There was no evidence to keep her in. But, unfortunately there was evidence to keep Octavia Melody in. This brought a smirk to The Crusaders face. But not Scootaloo, who kept thinking about the moment her teacher fell to the floor dead, and it was all her fault.
The girls had agreed with the Shadowbolts- Sunny Flare, Sugar Coat, Indigo Zap, and Sour Sweet- to never see eachother as long as they lived. Indigo had confessed to Sour Sweet about helping Rainbow fake her death (she helped by planning with her, making that Mrs. Melody Massey doll and camera, and helping draw her blood), and Sour Sweet looked as if she could care less and that she should just run. They also agreed to never tell the Shadowbolts close friend, Lemon Zest, about any of the events that had happened.
Aria threw her flat ironed hair back and looked at Sonata, who was stuffing her face with the mini tacos. She glared at her, but Sonata threw another onto her plate. And Pinkie Pie, she kept eating the cupcakes. Aria roller her eyes at the two girls.
"Hey," Fluttershy whispered, walking over to Aria in a pink sparklely long dress. Her hair was in a bun. "Have you seen Sunset?"
"She told me she'd be here." Applejack informed her. Her blonde hair was curly and she had her normal hat on, and she wore the same dress from the fall formal.
"She'll be here. The party just started." Aria smiled as she picked up a brownie and bit into it.
"Yeah, ten minutes ago." Rarity inturuppted. Her hair was completely down and curled. Her dress went down to her knees. It was a blue match her eyes and it had a design on the front that looked like a diamond. Aria bit her lip so her jaw wouldn't drop.
"You-you look great..." Aria stuttered, knowing she was blushing. Fluttershy glanced at Applejack, Sonata and Pinkie Pie, and the four all smirked. Rarity smiled.
"Thank you dear, you don't look so bad yourself." She replied after a moment. Fluttershy, Applejack, Sonata, and Pinkie Pie all walked away and over to Adagio and Sunset who had just arrived. Clearly they wanted the two to be alone. Aria made her way to follow them, but Rarity grabbed her collar and turned her back. The two stood in silents.
Aria took a deep breath. "Is there a problem?"
"No," Rarity said, narrowing her eye towards someone in a black hoodie. F. Ofcourse F had arrived at the damn Prom. F smiled and leaned against the door.He or she waved and turned to walk down a long dark hallway. "Just... come with me," She let go of her collar and grabbed her hand and walked down the hall, following the figure.
Sunset, who had on a purple and red tie die dress and her hair down as normal, sare the two enter the hall. Shock filled her. But she shock the thought she had out of her head. She grabbed Applejacks wrist and began to head to the hallway.
"Hey," Adagio, who had her dress from the Spring Fling on, called. Something drove her off her focus for a moment. Adagio eyed a person who had complete purple on. They also had a purple veil over there head, so she couldn't see who it was. They were looking at her. As soon as Adagio looked at him or her, the walked away. "Where are you guys going?"
"Oh, to get punch for ourselves." Sunset lied. Applejack stared at her. Does this moron not know I hate punch? Applejack thought.
"Oh, okay." Sonata said as she ate a cupcake. She tucked on Pinkies sleeve. "Let's go dance!" She shouted to them all. Sonata, Pinkie Pie, Adagio, and Fluttershy walked over to the dance floor in the gym that was decorated just like the Fall Formal.
Sunset smiled until the four were gone. Then she quickly ran down the hallway, Applejacks wrist still in her hand.
"Sunset, what's going on?" Applejack asked, pulling her wrist out of her grasp. "What's going on?". Sunset didn't respond, she kept walking. "Sunset!"
"Rarity and Aria are going somewhere and I don't know what there doing so I'm following them." Sunset confessed, still walking.
Applejack stepped back and sighed. "Oh stop!"
"What?"
"If they're doing that, it's none of our business!"
"That?..." Sunset stopped and thought. "No! No!"
Applejack shrugged. "What?"
Sunset and Applejack walked some more, nothing was in clear sight. Applejack was getting tierd and Sunset was getting bored, and trying not to show it. But the two stopped as the lights in the dark hall flickered on. They both watched as F, in the normal black hoodie, made there way into the hall near the lockers.
"I think I know what Rarity and Aria were following." Sunset whispered, following F.
Sunset and Applejack walked down the halls, not in a rush sence F, who was not even 4 feet Infront of them, wasn't either. Sunset watched as Rarity and Aria swung around the cornor, so they were face to face with F.
A shocked, suprised, and... sad expression crossed Raritys face, making her dark eyeliner stand out more. Then Aria... she just looked plain confused.
"Rarity? Aria?" Applejack asked with impatiently.
"What do you see?" Sunset finished. Neither Aria or Rarity spoke up. They kept the same expression. "Is the mask off..."
The two nodded slowly, keeping there expressions the same. Sunset heard Applejacks high heel click as she stepped back. Then she relized F was slowly turning to face there direction.
Gulping down a whole lot of nerves, Sunset stood up a little higher on her high heels while F turned around. F was soon face to face with Sunset.
Applejack horroridly at F, the very familiar face. And Sunset, she looked at F in absolute shock.
The F that was Princess Twilight Sparkle.
* * *
Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom walked into the gymnasium, where it looked beautiful, and identical to the fall formal. They three had the cloaks on, finally convinced F would show up. They, on the other hand, showed up fifthteen minutes late. Scootaloo headed towards the middle of the room and looked around for F, hoping he or she had showed up.
Adagio, Fluttershy, Sonata, and Pinkie Pie ran up to them as they got to the middle of the room. They looked more worried then ever. Applebloom tapped Scootaloo out of her search phase and she looked at Adagio.
"I know, these cloaks are ugly." Scootaloo rolled her eyes, continuing searching threw the crowd.
"No," Adagios voice sounded very worried. "Have you seen Rarity, Aria, Sunset, and Applejack?"
"Yeah, they're not anywhere!" Sonata exclaimed, biting her lip.
"Oh, um, no." Scootaloo nodded ripping a tablet out. She pressed a few buttons, then a map of the whole school came up. Rarity, Aria, Sunset, and Applejacks Cutie Marks came on the map in the main hall.
"What is this?" Fluttershy asked, anger filled her voice.
Scootaloo exhaled, a guilty feeling in her stomach. "After Rainbow Dash died, I chipped you all. Including Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. The day Flashes Blood was in Sunsets purse, and you got the text from F with the buttons, I sent the buttons. I chipped you all so you'd be safe."
"So we were chipped, you knew where we were kidnapped!" Sonata screamed.
"No. F hacked into the chips and he or she got to track you and locked me out. And in the kidnapping, F must have done something to send shocks from them." Scootaloo tapped a few more times and zoomed in on the Cutie Marks.
"But I thought you were locked out." Sweetie Belle asked, tapping the back of her neck to see if there was a chip.
"I got back in yesterday. F's code was Magic." Scootaloo rolled her eyes again. "Pretty pathetic."
"Yeah." The six agreed as if there passwords were any better.
"There in the main hall, let's go." Applebloom demanded, turning towards the exit.
* * *
"Twilight? No... this isn't real!" Sunset cried, looking at the tormenter who seemed to be a trustworthy friend who died because the Gem of good hope.
"Are you fucking kidding me? I don't even know you!" Aria shouted very fastly. Twilight crossed her arms.
"Why?" Applejack complaimed, her eyes filling up. "Why would you do-"
"You ruined everything! Everything!" Twilight exclaimed, her eyes with anger and sadness.
"We," Aria said from behind her. "Did nothing."
Twilight ripped a stick out and wipped it towards Aria. Raritys hand went up and ripped it out of her hand. "What did we ruin!" Rarity cried, her make up ruined.
"After the Battle of the bands, I went back, and everyone wanted to know what happened beyond that portal. It was stuff I couldn't explain. I told them that. And guess what! They thought I was lying! But I wasent! And then my five best friends began ignoring me." A sound echoed the walls. Twilight turned to it and then back. "And it was all your fault."
"That's not a damn motive." Sunset said solemnly.
"That's all you're-"
"Make something up!" Sunset shouted, as the echoing on the walls got loudly.
"You faked your death, to stay here. Didn't you?" Applejack asked.
"Just like Rainbow did." Twilight smirked.
Sunset felt rage flash inside of her. "Is she alive?" She hoped it came out as a wimper, but it came out as more rage.
"Oh, she had a fabulous plan. But the bitch didn't make it." She smirked again.
"Don't lie." Rarity lifted the stick above her head.
Twilight granted her teeth and turned to Rarity. "Exactly what you said to me on the other side of the portal. 'Don't lie'. Well," Sunset knew her voice would rise. And it did. "I'm not lying Rarity!"
"You can't lock people up," Aria began. "And torcher them."
"I can and I did!" She yelled. Noah's Dawn was created for her, Aria thought. "And let me say, Rainbow wasent the best in that maze."
"Why Adagio and Rainbow?" Sunset asked. "Take there bodies?"
"Because the elements of harmony, or the rainbooms wouldn't revive Rainbow, and so The Dazzlings and Crusaders, who I know are the elements of F, would revive Dazzle. If just one is missing, they both can't work."
"The Element of F? Huh?" Aria asked.
"Maybe you should have payed attention in class, Aria." And there, that evil smirk was once again back on her face.
"Maybe you should've payed attention in Anger Management." Aria raged, hitting Twilight in the face. Twilight hit her back without a care. Aria stumbled back and growled at her.
"Twilight," Sunset said more calmly. "I'm so sorry-"
"Don't apologize you moron!" Aria called.
Twilight turned back you Aria. "She can say whatever the heck she wants." She turned back to Sunset and smiled, then took her hoodie off to reveal her long blue hair. "She was always my favorite."
"I'm sorry Twilight, this isn't the solution. Torcher us-"
"No..." the faint voice of Fluttershy cried. The five turned and sare Fluttershy, Sonata, Pinkie Pie, and Adagio, who had a gun in her hand. The Crusaders stood in the front, showing no emotion.
"Oh look, the whole party's here!" Twilight screamed insanely. Adagio stepped back and held the gun a little higher.
"You... you were suppose to be our friend. And look! Look at who you killed! Hurt!" Pinkie Pie wipped tears from her face.
"You're suppose to be dumb!" Pinkie Pie gasped in shock at what Twilight had said. Pinkie Pie repeatedly nodded. "And who I've hurt! Please! You hurt so many-"
Pinkie Pie ripped the gun out of Adagios hand and shot it at Twilight. Being the first time she'd handled a gun, she missed horribly and hot the wall.
Twilight laughed. "You can't even shoot a gun?"
Rarity put the stick above her head and threw it at Twilight. The stick hit perfectly on the back of her head and made a crack sound. The Crusaders watched as her eyes went pail and she fell to the ground. They all stood silent as Sonata walked over to her and felt he pulse.
"She's dead." Sonata announced.
Rarity fell to the ground in tears. "I killed her." She mumbled as the tears streamed down her face. "I'm a killer."
Scootaloo put a hand on her sholder. "It's okay. You did what you needed to. It was self defense. I know how you feel."
The purple haired girl looked up. "You... Ms. Cheerilie?"
Scootaloo nodded remembering the moment that gun went off. "She would of killed us all."
"Guys," Adagio inturuppted, touching Twilight's pulse again. "We gotta hide the body."
"No, I'll confess." Rarity stated, standing up.
"You cant. Twilight's human counterpart is already dead, so..." Sonata looked to all her friends.
"Applejack, your farm is big." Scootaloo began to whistle after stating the obvious solution.
"I know where to put it." Applejack stated. "Let's go."
* * *
"I remember this." Rarity said as she huffed for breath. The 11 had climbed up a hill that was the highest point at Applejacks farm. It was a 10 minute climb, and most of them had heels or long dresses. And Applejack carried a shovel while Sonata and Rarity carried Twilight's limb body.
The two dropped the body near a tree, which sat on top of the hill. It was the only tree on the hill. Pinkie Pie gasped, turning all eyes onto her. "This tree. Remember? We were beginning High school. Rainbow Dash wanted us to all come up here before she left to wherever she was going for a long time. Me, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and me. It was before Sunset arrived."
Applejack let out what sounded alot like a laugh. Then a little whimper, as if she was a dog. "I remember like it was yesterday. She came and sneaked up us. Then she called this tree our special tree. And she made us all carve our names in them."
Pinkie Pie ran her fingers over the five girl signatures. She had a warm smile on her face. Fluttershy, on the other hand, only showed anger. She took the shovel out of Applejacks hand and put it behind her head as if she was going to hit Pinkie Pie. The words no barely slipped Sunsets mouth when Fluttershy hit the tree. Right where the signatures were. She did this multiple times, until her anger became tears. She put her arm on the tree and sobbed.
"Fluttershy..." Sonata stopped as Aria put her hand on her sholder.
She nodded. "Twilight killed Rainbow. And she tried to leave-"
"Fluttershy." Sunset put a hand on her sholder. "Please don't."
Sunset took the shovel out of Fluttershys hand and began to dig into the moist soil. Her breath huffed and puffed as she let some tears out. The Dazzlings and The Crusaders, who barely knew her, felt tears warm in their eyes. Scootaloo nodded, not being able to watch this. She kneeled down in the dirt next to Sunset and put her hood from the cloak, then she used her hands to dig.
Adagio grabbed a small plastic shovel and did the same. Sunset looked up at Adagio, who hated getting dirty. "What?" She commented as she caught her glance. "We're all in this together."
Sweetie Belle and Aria grabbed a box of shovels and handed it to them all. Everyone but Rarity and Fluttershy digged. Instead, the two grabbed the body and threw it into the 4 feet pit they had dug. Raritys face looked brave, after it at first looked depressed.
"I'm sorry Twilight." She bravely told the girl now covered with bugs and dirt. "But you left us with no choice."
"And Rainbow," Fluttershy whispered. "You're a meanie."
Sonata stood over the grave and ripped the remaining necklace she had around her neck. She dropped it onto her chest. "To thank you."
"Thank her?" Sweetie Belle asked, glancing at her two best friends.
"Guys. Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. Looked what she's done. Damage, and goodness. She brought us together and created a friendship stronger then anything. So strong, you can lift a car." Sonata smiled as she looked at her friends.
"Yeah. Your right. You guys, I was horrible to you, and... now I'm dating a girl I said that would be forgotten." Sunset smiled at Adagios blunt comment. "And you three risked everything." She pointed to The Crusaders, who locked arms. "And... you guys are my best friends."
"And we'll always be." Applejack promised. Scootaloo moved to the edge of were Twilight was burried.
"Game over," she kicked dirt in the grave. She looked at all her friends and they all said, "we win."
* * *
The Rainbooms, Crusaders, and Dazzlings all re-entered the dance, cleaned up and having no evidence of what had just happened. Vice Principle Luna walked over to the girls quickly. She smiled, which suprised Scootaloo because she thought she hated her guts.
"Where'd you go?" She kindly asked, moving her hips to the music.
"We helped them begin to clean the lockers." Applebloom said. "There going off to Collage soon."
"I know. You girls were something. You changed alot at this school. Rainbow would of loved this all." Luna smiled again. So did them all has another thought trailed there minds. "I'm very excited thought to have you girls back in August for The Friendship Games."
"The what?" Sonata asked.
"You'll see soon. Bye ladies!" Luna concluded, running away.
The girls all walked to the dance floor. The light seemed to be Shining brighter. And the weight they all had on there sholders seemed to be gone.
"You know, there still some things I just don't understand about the whole F thing." Adagio stated, putting her arm around Sunset.
"Me too." Scootaloo agreed, smiling brightly. " "But some things should be left alone, for now." "
End of book 1.
The Beginning of the start
Ring, ring, ring. "Ugh," Sunset Shimmer sighed as she hit her alarm clock, "five more minutes." Her alarm clock was not one to reckon with, it kept ringing as it always did. Sunset sat up and looked at her calander, Monday the 17th. School... Sunset sighed. Her regular everyday schedule began; she took a shower, dried and brushed her bacon colored hair, threw on her normal pink tank top with a black jacket and an orange skirt, drank her normal morning coffee, brushed her teeth, put her boots on, got everything in her backpack, and then left her apartment. She went straight to school after this.
Canterlot high was her high school. Before she became apart of the rainbooms, she was power hungrey, she stole a crown from equestria, her birth home in an other dimension. She became a demon with this crown, and turned the whole school into zombies. But, she was defeated by the rainbooms, who afterwards took her in to be her friends. But, the school on the other hand was net to forgive or forget. She was hated by everybody, even the rainbooms sisters.
But that was her past, now it's today. She defeated the dazzlings, also power hungrey, who where close to beating them, but with Sunsets confidentness they where defeated. That was two months ago, now nobody thinks or really cares about the fall formal, where she turned into a demon. So there differences with Sunset where put aside.
She arrived around 7:15, as usual. She headed to her first class, geography. She hated geography. But all her friends where in it, so that was something she enjoyed. She watched as kids went to their lockers, chatted with there friends, some even shouted "hey" to her. She felt happy. She took a breath a fresh air and entered geography. The usual map bigger then the floor, and the twenty globes on Ms. Astrid's small desk, and her five friends waving her over to them.
"Hey," she said as she swung her backpack around her chair. "How's the movie?" Sunset was referring to project they where doing about the history of the Congo Basin.
"Great!" Rainbow smiled turning back to the laptops Rainbow had in front of her. "Scootaloo showed me this amazing editing website, so the movie looks awesome!"
"Good," Sunset grabbed a introduction script out of her bag. "We need to present this before we play the video tommorow,"
"Oh," Fluttershy looked down. She was not one to speak in front of a class.
"Don't worry Fluttershy, your on computer duty." Sunset sympathetically told Fluttershy. She gave her a shy smile and whispered thanks.
"Still no dazzlings, huh?" Applejack laughed. Sunset looked at the back, where Aria Blaze, a dazzling sat, she wasn't there.
"No," Rarity said "probably embarrassed. I dont even think they are coming back."
"Anyway," Sunset hated talking about the dazzlings for personal reasons, "back to the-"
"Good morning students," Ms. Astrid walked in and put her bag on her desk. "I know that you know that we will be working on our videos."
Ring ring! The room went silent. Sunset looked down. Shit! My phone! She thought.
"Does someone have a cell phone in class?" Ms. Astrid crossed her arms. Nobody anwsered. "Okay. Anyway, quick announcement..."
Ms. Astrid carried on a Sunset hid her phone in her desk. She turned it on to see a text, from an unknown ID. But when she went to her messages, there was nothing. What? But it went off and said a message was sent!
"Sunset, you know better," Ms. Astrid took her phone out of her hand. "When you look down at you crouch and a blue light is on you obviously are on a cell phone. Detention."
"Shit." Sunset mumbled to herself. She crossed her arms and slumped down in her chair as some students giggled away at her stupidity.
* * *
"I swear, there was a message!" Sunset told Pinkie Pie as they walked to there next class: Spainish. "Then it was gone!"
"Probaly just sare something! I do sometimes!" Always cheerful Pinkie smiled. She topped at her locker and opened it.
"But... but!" Sunset stuttered as she leaned against the locker.
"Don't be sad about your phone, you'll get it back tommorow morning!" Pinkie slammed her locker shut.
"Pinkie, I don't care about the phone! I swear an unknown ID sent me something!" Sunset started waking.
"Unknown ID?" Pinkie caught up with her. "Yeah, I guess I didn't mention that." Pinkie gave her a blank look. "Ugh! I wish I screen shot it!"
"Who texted you?" Asked Pinkie as they got to science.
"I don't know, it's an unknown ID!" Sunset sat down at her desk she shared with Soarin.
* * *
"Did you hear?" Cloud Kicker whispered to Rainbow Dash.
"No," Rainbow replied as Rainbow gave Fluttershy a glance. The two girls where in science now, next was lunch.
"Mr. Ivy got fired!" Cloud Kicker told her.
"For real?" Rainbow almost laughed.
"Yeah, Soarin almost yelled it out in English," she laughed as she grabbed her science book.
"So who's the new teacher?" Questioned Fluttershy.
"He's coming now!" Cloud Kicker quickly turned away as a teacher entered the room. All eyes on him as he put down his bag.
"Hello students," the teacher said nicely, starting right at Fluttershy. He went silent for a moment. Then smirked. "Sorry, I'm in a way nervous, but anywho, I am you new teacher, Discord."
* * *
"I hate gym!" Rarity yelled. "And these clothe!There soooo unfashionable!"
"Grow up!" Applejack tied her shoe. "Plus, you could loose the weigh." Applejack patted Raritys sholder as Rarity gasped in shock.
"Damn!"Rarity walked away. Applejack laughed and then got up to catch up with her.
"You annoy me Applejack," Rarity crossed her arms. "really."
"I know," she laughed. "Hey Misty!"
"Hey Applejack," she replied walking over.
"You still in for tonight?" Applejack asked. "Babysitting Applebloom."
"You still paying me 10 dollars an hour?" She joked.
" Eeyup." Applejack adjusted her hat.
"See ya tonight!" Misty walked away.
Rarity sighed. "Applebloom is 12. She does not need a babysitter. I let Sweetie Belle stay home alone all the time, and I bet you money Scootaloos mom let's her aswell."
"You let Sweetie stay alone when she was 7. At a barber store. And Scoots Aunt is an idiot. She shouldn't leave her home alone. Especially with needing an inhaler every two seconds." Applejack said.
"Ugh. You really annoy me." Rarity said as a dodge ball hit her in the head. She fell back. "Ow"
"Ya okay Rarity?" Applejack asked.
"I guess, who did that?" Rarity rubbed her head.
"I don't know.."
* * *
"Today was off." Sunset said. The school day was over and they where all at Rainbows house doing homework.
"Yeah, my head still hurts." Rarity said rubbing her hand.
"Hey, at least it wasn't a shoe, like one time in soccer." Rainbow shook at the thought. "Poor Spitfire, hit her right in the head." Sunset giggled a little. "Hey! What was that for?"
"Nothing, just watching are video. Owh, it's gonna be the best!" Sunset smiled.
"Yeah, nobody can do better then us!" Pinkie yelled.
"Yay!" Fluttershy said her shy yay.
Applejack got up and picked up Tank, Rainbows pet, and grabbed a piece of paper she spotted under him.
"AJ? What ya doing?" Rainbow yelled getting of her bed and and taking Tank.
"Is this a note? Are you that irresponsible?" Sighed AJ as she opened it.
"Read it!" Pinkie encouraged.
"It says: Distractions lead to trouble, like you six. -F . What the hell is this Rainbow?" Yelled AJ.
"I don't know AJ! Just throw it out!" Rainbow was clearly creeped out.
"Probably a little crusader prank, who cares.'' Rarity said. "Cmon, let's rehearse.
* * *
"Hi students, today our group will present the Congo Basin and it's history! Enjoy!" Sunset stepped away as Fluttershy played the video. It was the next day, and the girls where presenting there project.
The six waited for the video to load onto the screen. It was taking a long time, but the rainbooms where patient. But it didn't load, the screen went black. "Huh?''
"We don't have all day." Ms. Astrid reminded. Sunset walked over to the computer and pressed a few keys. Then she became showed when the screen became rainbow colored.
"Fluttershy!, what did you do?" Sunset yelled.
"I'm sorry!" Fluttershy was crying. Sunset stepped back. Something was wrong, horribly wrong.
"Girls, stop this!" Ms. Astrid stood up and slammed her hand on the desk.
Loud beeping started happening, all the students blocked their ears, as Rainbow flashing continued. Sunset became scared, she unplugged her laptop, took it, still beeping, and threw it at the wall. It smashed into pieces. The lights came on, all eyes on the girls.
"Wow, that was something." Ms. Astrid said. "Now that you have no video, I'm going to have to give you, a zero on the project." The girls all looked down and sighed. Laughter started again. The six sat at the back, as Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, and Lyra played a music video on the Nile river.
Soon as classed ended, the six went to the lockers. Rainbow stopped them though.
"What the hell was that!" Yelled Rainbow dash pissed off.
Tears formed in Sunset Shimmers eyes. "I don't know, what the hell was that website Scootaloo gave you?"
"A virus." Fluttershy crossed her arms. All of a sudden, six different ring tones went off. The six all ripped out there phones. They all received a text from an UNKNOWN ID.
This game isn't just broken projects, it's bloody messes. -F.
The six looked at eachother. "The website wasn't a virus, F hacked your computer and ruined our project!" Pinkie said.
"F is targeting us?" Fluttershy asked, panic filling her.
"Yes," Sunset eyes filled with fear. "But who is F?"
"I can't belive we did that." Sunset sighed as she bit into her sandwich. She lifted up her message from Talent from the night before.
"I can't either. My own sister! I'm that rude!" Aria slouched in her chair.
"I can't believe we didn't even visit her yet!" Fluttershy said.
"Ugh. People probaly think we helped." Sonata stabbed her chicken wing with her spoon.
"Figures," Applejack sighed.
"I ran into Rainbows dad at the grocery, and I dropped my purse. He sare me. And the bitch walked away! Like what!" Complained Aria.
"Well, you are Adagios sister." Rarity said. "And he does have no more family."
"Scootaloo won't even talk to me!" Aria said as ignored Rarity. "And she's like, five!"
"She's thirteen." Pinkie Pie said. "And plus, I don't think she likes you anymore."
"You don't say?" Aria said sarcastically. Pinkie smiled.
"What are we gonna do!" Sunset slammed her head on the table. "We have no evi-"
"Is that the police guys wife, Cadence, also a police officer?" Sonata pointed.
"And she's heading over here with handcuffs." Aria sank in her chair as sweat dripped down her forehead.
"Hello girls." Cadence said as a second police officer followed. The girls gave a little wave.
"Well Aria Blaze," Cadence made eye contact with Aria. "You seem nervous."
"I didn't do anything." Aria covered her mouth as soon as she said it.
"Oh I'm not here for you," Cadence patted her arm. "We found DNA on the camera doll, along with shoe marks and finger prints showing that this person helped Adagio murder Rainbow Dash."
Every single in the school eye was on the officer and the eight girls. The eight shivered in there seats, Sonata felt tears in her eyes, knowing she was being arrested. People had tooking phones out and started recording.
"Pinkie Pie, your under arrest for helping Adagio Dazzle in the murder of Rainbow." The second officer took Pinkie and put her in handcuffs.
"Wait what!" She yelled looking at her friends. Tears where in Pinkie and Sonatas eyes. As soon as Pinkie left the room with the officers, the noise began.
Ring ring! Sunset took her phone out and sare she had a message.
Score! -F
"Wow rainbrooms," Trixie said as she walked by. "you guys must have a talent."
* * *
"Why am I here?" Pinkie asked the Cadence as she digged for Pinkies clotheing size in a jail suit.
"For helping in a murder." Cadence said.
"But I was with my friends, you can ask them." Pinkie said as Cadence threw a suit at her. Pinkie caught it with her knee, then it fell of her knee to the dirty concrete ground.
"They'll protect you and lie, believe me, I've seen this before." Cadence unlocked Pinkies handcuffs and turned around. "Now hurry up and change.". Pinkie did as she was told.
"Now what?" Pinkie said as Cadence put her back into handcuffs.
"You get to see your old friend, Adagio." Cadence smiled a cruel smile and took her out of little room.
* * *
"This is really really bad!" Sunset said. "Who's next?"
"I think Pinkie was accidentally put in jail." Fluttershy said. "Or at least that's what Speed said."
"You didn't tell us Speed texted you!" Sonata said as she bit into her 4th donut.
"Stop eating donuts Sonata." Aria said.
"It's stress eating! Like that women in something something 6. I'm sorry I'm stressed, but my sis and gf are in jail!" Sonata finished her 4th donut.
"You two are an item?" Rarity questioned.
"Possibley!" Sonata grabbed a fifth donut. "But Fluttershy, what did Speed say?"
"Speed said: Pinkie was accidentally put in jail. U can thx me later. -Speed. " Fluttershy read.
"Well Speed cares about grammer." Applejack said.
"Wait, I just relized, Twilight, this world's Twilight, called herself "Speed " Because some science stuff!" Rarity said.
"How didn't you relize this before!" Applejack yelled.
"I forgot, but she lives all the way in canterlot. That's 5 hours!" Rarity sighed sadly.
"I'll go." Aria grabbed her keys, "Cmon Rarity."
* * *
"That ride was dreadful," Rarity cried
"It's dreadful I just relized we could have tooken the subway." Aria said as she got out of the car.
"Hi, where here to see a Twilight Sparkle?" Rarity said to the lady at the front desk of the crystal high academic building.
"Do you know Miss Sparkle?" She said as she typed on the computer. She adjusted her glasses so they where fixed in her nose properly.
"Well um..."
"No, you don't! Please leave!" The lady put her hand towards the door. Rarity turned around to leave, but Aria grabbed her.
"Listen lady," Aria said with anger. "I'm Aria Blaze and I need to talk to Twilight-"
"Aria, darling! My goddess I almost didn't recognize you with those pigtails! Come on in!" The lady stood up apologetically and led her and Rarity to an elevator. "Room 87 on floor 3, wing 9." She told them.
The elevator closed and Rarity leaned to Aria. "You didn't say you worked here! And that you knew Twilight!"
Aria shrugged. "Well I don't work here and I don't even know that lady. I've never been here before"
"Oh." Rarity said as the elevator opened and the girls went to room 87. Knock knock knock. Rarity went on room 87' door. The door opened in a flash. Twilight stood there with a sloppy bun and black glasses.
"Aria!" Twilight said in surprise. "I thought you where in a huge rush finishing the song for the Art Jam."
"Oh yeah that thing," Aria was preparing a lie in her head as she paused. "Taking a little break. This is my friend Rarity. Wanna chat?"
"Sure, you and your friend want coffee?" Twilight asked as she let the two in.
"Oh, no thanks." She said.
"But you love coffee." Twilight said confused.
"I'm not in the mood," Aria said. "Have you been getting any weird text, or notes, or messages lately?"
"I don't have a phone. And no, nothing, but I just gotta show you something!" Twilight grabbed Aria. She took her over to a bored with data and pictures of Canterlot high, and more data. "Something is off about this school," she said, "and sence your heading to this town to,' She glanced at Rarity. "Would you please give us some privacy?"
Rarity nodded and left. "Heading to this town to look for Adagio," Aria's eyes popped open. Why look for Adagio? Did she run away or something? And plus, she's in jail! Aria thought. "Could you apply and see if anything weird is going on?"
"Definitely!" Aria shouted. "Or well, ilk think about it." She played it cool.
"Thanks! Maybe Sonata can do it if you wont. But we both know she's better at singing then learning." Twilight laughed.
"Oh, Sonata can't-" Wait, so this is like, the human Twilight, not the pony one from equestria. If there's human counterpart for her, then that means Twilight thinks she's talking to the human, real world, not siren, Aria Blaze... "Can't bare not to sing!" Aria laughed, even though she was more worried.
"Great! Wanna sing me the song your working on?" Twilight asked. Aria gulped. She couldn't sing without her pendent. She reached to her neck to feel her pendent, but it was gone. All that remained was the part the gem was held on.
"I lost my voice!" Aria lied. Twilight gave her a not an idiot look. "But I can play you the tune on the..." Aria looked around, "Piano!" Aria sat on the piano seat and started playing the "Welcome to the show tune. Twilight nodded her head to the beat.
But something strange happened. Aria felt it from her head to her toes. Magic. Pony ears came out of her head as a pony tail came out of her hair. Her lovely green siren wings took form as she kept playing. Soon as she relized what was happening, she stopped playing. The ears, tail wings, they went away.
She looked at Twilight, who looked at her in a fearful, annoyed, and evil looked. Aria got up and headed towards the door.
"I gotta run!" She yelled as she opened the door and grabbed Rarity, who had been easdroppimg, ran down the hall. She didn't get very far in very little time, because she heard Twilight call "Security!"
Aria and Rarity ran down the hall to the elevator, Aria had never ran so fast in her life. She felt the wind in her bangs and face. Bam! She hit someone. Papers, music papers flew everywhere. A girl yelled Owh as all the papers landed on the ground. Right in the middle of Aria apologizing, she relized something that made her heart drop out her butt.
She ran into her human self. Her human self had her hair in a sock bun at the top of her head, a white buttoned lab coat, mint green dress, and pink high heels like her own. The girl looked at her and called "Imposter!"
Rarity grabbed Aria and shut self in the elevator right as Human Aria and human Twilight got to the elevator. The elevator got to the first floor and the two ran to the car, and drive away.
"What happened?" Rarity asked as they got on the highway.
"I sare myself in collage," Aria said rushed.
"School?" Scootaloo sat up. "No."
"What are you? A chicken?" Applebloom clucked.
"No, I'm, um..." Scootaloo paused. Then she groaned as she got changed. Soon as Scootaloo was changed, then girls crawled out her window onto the side walk. Scootaloo lived right across the street from the school,so the girls way to be sneaky so nobody sare them.
The girls got to the door of Canterlot High. Applebloom then noticed it was locked.
"Good thing I have this," she ripped out her sisters credit card.
"You stole that?" Sweetie Belle look at her friend in shock.
"Borrowed." Applebloom said as she opened the door and let Scootaloo and Sweetie in before herself. Then Applebloom shut the door.
"Cameras disabled?" Applebloom asked Scootaloo.
"Yup." She yawned, continuing to follow Applebloom.
"Where are we going?" Sweetie looked concerned.
"Right here." Applebloom opened the door to a classroom. It was Ms. Cheerilies classroom.
"Applebloom, why are we going here?" Scootaloo asked, stepping away.
"To get revenge on our teacher. Now, shut the door." Applebloom demanded. Sweetie Belle did as told.
"What should we do first?" Applebloom eviley laughed.
Leave both Sweetie and Scootaloo though.
"I know!" Applebloom yelled making eye contact with the bored. She grabbed a red marker and erased the end of Ms. Cheerilie. Then, she wrote the lie part in red, capital letters and underlined it multiple times.
"Um, what are you doing? She's not a lier," Sweetie looked puzzled.
"If she's not gonna tell my brother, she's gonna get it." She said.
"You told her!" Sweetie yelled at Scootaloo.
"She was sad, what was I supposed to do?" Scootaloo yelled back.
"Not tell her!" Sweetie Belle threw a book at her. Scootaloo moved away and the book hit the wall, making a dent in it.
"That's the spirit, Sweetie!" Applebloom smiled, as she took something out of her coat. Ms. Cheerilies paper duck from India, which she loved. Then she took sparklers out. Scootaloo threw a mug at Sweetie, which also hit the wall, but didnt make a dent.
"What are you doing?" Sweetie and Scoots said at the same time, seeing she was going to light the ducks on fire.
"Teaching her a lesson." Applebloom stood up on a desk and held the little duck up. She then slowly lifted the sparkler up.
"Those our important to her!" Sweetie yelled. "And you'll catch your hand on fire you idiot!"
"Please she can get new ones in India!" Applebloom lifted the sparkler to what she didn't see was near a sprinkler. The sprinkler too immediate action and water was sprayed all over the girls. Applebloom dropped everything to the ground, relizing she burnt her hand because conduction (See! I can do science! ),her and her friends ran out of the classroom. The whole school was being soaked. Applebloom took her sparklers and threw them in a locker that wasn't hers.
But to their luck, it was raining. So they wouldn't leave footprints. The girls all made a run for it. They went to Scootaloos and quickly dried off. Then Sweetie and Applebloom went home. And they all did it without anyone noticing.
* * *
Ms.Cheer lie, dents in the wall, the whole school soaked? Sunset knew this was Speed.
"We get the first two periods off! Be happy!" Aria smiled. "We can go see a movie!"
"Why would Speed do this?" Sunset asked.
"Um.. maybe Applebloom did this. She is in her class. And she did just get in trouble with Scootaloo. Maybe they both did it." Applejack suggested.
"Why's everyone here? School cancelled?" Applebloom asked, walking in in her PJ's.
"Period 1 and 2. Do you know why?" Sunset asked.
"No. Hand me the remote please." Applebloom asked Aria. Aria threw the remote to her as Applebloom sat on her little chair in the motel.
"What happened to your hand?" AJ asked notice the wrapping around it.
"I made french toast last night and burnt it in the process." Applebloom anwsered, turning PLL on.
"Really? Or where you at the school?" Sunset finally said.
Applebloom laughed. "You got nerves if you think I broke into the school."
"Who said anything about breaking into the school?" Sonata said.
Appleblooms eyes widened. "First of all, Scootaloo texted me-"
"That's a lie." Applejack crossed her arms.
"Really? Is that so? Good luck getting into college with that attitude." Applebloom said.
"Really, thanks. I'll send you a selfie from Yale with a caption "Get my Cheese burger ready, I don't like tomatoes."." Applejack stompped out of the room.
Applebloom laughed again. "That, that was a good one sis." Applebloom grabbed a old can of soda from yesterday and threw it towards the trash. She missed the barrel, but she just shrugged.
* * *
"Wait, so Applebloom was lying?" Fluttershy asked in suprise. Aria giggled. "What's funny?"
"Applejack owned Applebloom. It was hilarious." Aria told her, giggling some more.
"It wasn't funny. At all." Applejack said crossly.
"Ya, it wasn't funny, it was hilarious." Aria laughed. Applejacks face turned red like an apple.
"Shut up." She yelled.
"Guess who broke in." Rarity said walking over with Sonata.
"Applebloom?" Applejack asked.
"Misty." Sonata said.
"Misty? Are you serious!" Sunset yelled, throwing her hands up.
"That's crap." Applejack protested.
"They found sparklers in her locker, and a credit card," Rarity looked down. "Your credit card, dear." She pointed to Applejack.
"Mine?" Applejack questioned, reaching into her wallet. She turned pale when she relized it was gone. She turned white as a ghost when the police came over to her.
"Is this yours?" The man asked
"Yes , but-"
"Your going to have to come down to the station with me, put your hands behind your back." The police man handcuffed her.
Applebloom ran over to the man, looking in shock at what he was doing.
"She didn't do it, the kid did," Aria yelled, pointing at Applebloom.
"I would never!" Applebloom gasped in affence.
"Shut the fuck up! Yes you did, we did." Scootaloo told the officer.
"Well, you and Sweetie did, but I didn't." Applebloom turned away.
"Really? Wonder how those sparklers got in her locker." Sweetie Belle told her off.
Applebloom turned around. "Wasn't me."
"Please," Scootaloo said turning to the officer. "2458. That's the code into the cameras, isn't it?" The officer looked at the girl with suprise. "You know how I know? I disabled the cameras, take me,"
"I went with her and dented the walls." Sweetie said. She looked at Applebloom, who had a guilty look on her face.
"I was gonna set the duck on fire. Because I was mad that-"
"Ba ba ba!" Scootaloo covered her mouth. "You've said enough."
"Your covering!" The officer took Applejack outside the school. The girls all remanded silent. The looked at the crusaders with pitty.
"Why were you mad?" Aria asked.
"Why do you care?" Sweetie said.
Aria felt her heart pound, "Because of you! My sister is dead, Rainbows dead, and Pinkies in jail!, that's why I mother fucking care!". She stormed away.
"We're sorry. We didn't mean for this to happen." Scootaloo stuttered. "And if we're telling the truth, other then eating Appleblooms gingerbread me in second grade, I'm Speed." Scootaloo smiled a We are so dead Smile.
"Talent." Sweetie itched her neck.
"You can do the rest put in guess." Applebloom said with a guilty feeling.
"Why would you lie? This whole time." Sunset asked.
"Because if F finds out who I am," Scootaloo began. "I'll be the next one with my heart ripped out."
"Ms. Cheerilie," Rarity looked at her sister. "What happened that peeved Applebloom?"
"Secrets are like weapons. They can backfire at anytime." Sweetie said, smiling a little.
* * *
"She's out of jail! That's a relief." Sunset gasped.
"Mistaken identity. That's really Octavia Melodys card." Big Mac said, leaving immediately.
"Are you gonna tell the police?" Sunset asked Applebloom as soon as the coast was clear. She shook her head.
"Why'd you to do this Applebloom? Be Salvage?" Applejack asked her sister in sadness, entering the room.
"Because I love you," Applebloom hugged her sister. "And I don't want you to get hurt,"
Applejack pressed tears back, she hugged her sister back. "I love you too, sis. But where is my credit card?"
"It's probably somewhere between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean. I flushed it." Applebloom said, with a touch of honesty Applejack loved to hear of her sister.
Applejack laughed. "I can get a new one."
Big Mac was in the kitchen of the small motel, getting the table ready for dinner. Scootaloo walked in right as he put the last plate on the table.
"Fancy motel," she said, holding her one strapped bag. "And a real big one too."
"Are you staying for dinner or no?" He asked. "You got me and my sister pretty pissed off."
"I got you pissed. Please." Scootaloo shock her head. "So, did you go to a party with Cheerilie and not say anything?"
Big Mac turned around and looked at the thirteen year old with shock. He looked to make sure nobody was near. "How do you know?"
"Because Cheerilies going to India for 10 months because her sister apparently. And that's a lie. Because Ms. Cheerilie is having a baby. And wanna take a guess at who the dad is and who she didn't tell?" Scootaloo yelled.
"Not me."
"Yeah," Scootaloo threw files on the floor. "You Sherlock."
"Is there something going on now?" Ms. Cheerilie said as she entered the kitchen.
"It's a bad time." Scootaloo told her with a rude attitude in her voice.
"No, it fine," Big Mac said, throwing the files away, without looking at them.
"You might wanna take a glance at those," Scootaloo said as she walked away very rude and sassy like.
Time to take my life back
"Adagio, you don't have to go back to school. The end of the year is only two weeks away." Aria told Adagio, walking up the stairs of Canterlot High.
"Aria, do you know how long I've been gone? I need to catch up on the curriculum." Adagio said, taking a deep breath of confidence and then opening the door to the school.
"Yeah, I know, but don't you think you should let the kidnapping die off?" Aria asked as she walked over to her locker and opened it.
Adagio sighed. "What was your first day back like?"
"A normal day of school, but some people did glance, but they'll look away if you look at them- Adagio where are you going?"
"First period English." Adagio said, look in discust at the classroom.
"English is easy. Calm yourself, you probably missed litterly nothing."
Adagio turned around, tears in eyes. "Flash was in this class. "
"So what?"
"I killed him. And shoved you in jail. I'm a horrible sister, I'm a horrible person, I should have just died down there." Adagio whispered loud enough for Aria to barely hear.
Aria embraced her quickly in a hug. "It's okay Dagi, I've got you."
"You should hate me. You should hate me forever."
"But I dont. Because you saved Sonata and me. And, you saved me when I fell of that cliff."
"One day we're going to need to tell the rainbooms that."
"They don't really need to know."
Adagio nodded. "Okay."
Aria let go of her sister and adjusted her hair that went down to her collar bone. "Now Adagio, I was never in that maze, I don't know what F did to you down there, but sometimes, you need to forget to move on. Same with Flash. Now, I'll see you in second period math." Aria embraced her in one more hug that lasted a little longer then expected. Then she turned and walked to geography.
It will be like any other day, just some glances ever now and then. Now Dazzle, you're going to walk in there with your head held high, and no baby tears in your eyes. You can do this Adagio. You're stronger then someone who can lift a car. You can do this. Adagio took another deep breath before opening the door to her English class.
* * *
"When are you going to go back to school?" Applejack asked Rarity, leaning back on her bed.
Rarity adjusted the phone on her ear. "I'm going in late today. I didn't know Adagio was going, that was real selfish for us to let her and Aria go alone, dear."
"Fine, I guess I'll go." Applejack sighed, pulling a Jean skirt out of her closet.
"No! You won't guess you'll go, you'll go!" Rarity screamed, putting her tiny barete in her hair.
"Okay, damn!" Applejack yelled, putting her cowgirl hat on and adjusting her blonde hair. "So will it just be us four?"
"Not counting The Crusaders, yes. Fluttershys mom took Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie of of town, Sunset is at the Spa, and Sonata is doing all the research she can on Harmony Blaze."
"Speaking of Harmony, how is Aria with the news she has a daughter?"
"I don't even think she likes the topic. She leaves everytime the topic is bought up."
Applejack looked at the time. "I've got to go. It's almost time for third period and I want to be there by then. Bye."
"Bye Applejack." Rarity said as she hung up.
* * *
Sonata continued clicking away at her laptop and finding information on Harmony Blaze. Nothing relevant came up. Old stories about Harmony Dinkle came up, some videos of fireworks, and some music videos, but nothing came up about the real personal. Not even a photo.
"You can do this Sonata." Sonata told herself, adjusting her navy blue glasses.
She kept scrolling down, waiting for something the tiniest bit relevant to come up. She got to the third page, and the first website it recommended was NoahsDawn.com. She looked in shock, but for some reason, she decided to click it. Apparently, you had a username and password to Unlock Files.
Sonata typed in Appleblooms account, hoping it wasn't deleted. Applebloom had told her the info, or really just Aria at the hospital, and it had stuck in her brain. This wasn't considered hacking in Sonatas head... oh who am I kidding? She knew this was wrong.
"It worked!" Sonata screamed with joy. She put her fist in the air then accidently clicked on the patients files. Wait... Sonata looked at the laptop. Why am I seeing everyone's files? Not just Apple- SONATA OF A TACO SHE HACKED IN TO THE FILES USING THE OWNERS ACCOUNT!
Sonata knew she couldn't get off the sight. Applebloom had the account in her custody for a reason. What was on here that gave value? Sonata began reading down the list of patince. Cecelia Andrews, Lela Austin, May Rose Base, then a name that made Sonata stop.
Harmony Blaze.
Is it her human counterpart? Sonata wondered, clicking on the patient and clutching her phone at her side.
Name: Harmony Blaze
Gender: Female
Parents: ? (It should say Aria, Sonata thought.)
DOB: ?
Age: ? Belived to be 12
Reason to be in ND: Attempt suicide 3 times at orphange. Harmony Blaze also says she is from another dimension named Equestria, where she is a siren and she comes to this world to find her banished mother.
Sonata found herself crying. Harmony hate her life and just wants to find her mother. She's misunderstood. Kind of like Aria. Sonata felt her heart pounding. She needed to go find Harmony. Sonata reached for her phone. Then she let go of it. No, I need to do this alone.
After three minutes of lag, she went back to the long list of patince. This list included people who use to be in Noah's Dawn, like Alison. Anyone who had already left there had check mark next to their name. Scrolling down the long list, her legs off the bed and ready to go to Noah's Dawn, Sonata sare another name that made her spin shiver.
Rainbow Dash had been a patient at Noah's Dawn.
* * *
"Misty, can we talk?" Fleetfoot asked nervously.
"Sure, what about?" Misty responded,
"Alison."
"What's wrong with Alison?"
"Shes a nut." Fleetfoot screamed. "She's gonna kidnap Slavage, or whatever that is."
"She's not a nut, she's off."
"Misty! I'm not doing it! Have fun on your own!" Fleetfoot grabbed her bag and jumped off Mistys pourch.
"I thought this was for Spitfire?" Misty yelled, making the girl turn around. She's not gonna say no to Alison.
* * *
"Scootaloo, can we please talk?" Aria asked, disturbing Scootaloos from playing her silly "Poptropica" game. Scootaloo looked at her with a discusted face. She shut her computer down and turned in her swively chair.
"I don't want to talk to you." Scootaloo rudely replied, grabbing her bag and getting up.
"We have to talk." Aria said more like a command. "Please?"
"Didn't give me a choice there,did you sunshine?" Scootaloo quoted from a youtuber.
Aria didn't know where to begin. "Scootaloo, I'm so so sorry. I was going to tell you, but your Aunt kept putting a wall up between us and I couldn't kick it down."
"Ever heard of text?"
"That's not a nice way to tell you your mom is alive." Aria pulled a chair up next to Scootaloo as the bell rang. Aria sighed. "Forget it. You have class."
"I don't care, continue your pathetic apology."
"Look, I knew that the right thing to do was tell you about your mom. And I should have told Sasha in that maze, the moment she told me, that I knew who you where." Aria wipped a tear in her eye. "Everything in my life is screwed up." Aria began crying. "I'm a horrible person. I ruined Adagio and Sonatas life. I ruined all of your lives!" Scootaloo began to have tears of guilt in her eyes. "I should have died when I fell of that cliff."
"What cliff-" Scootaloo knew she shouldn't ask. "No Aria. You are lucky you lived falling of that cliff that I have never heard about. I've never met someone as strong as you. Your an amazing person. And so what you made a mistake. Or many- everyone does! Nothing will ever be perfect. I did this to you. I created F! And... I can't believe your not mad at me! That I'm not the one apoloizing! Nobody would ever ditch class to apologize to me. I accept your apology because I know if my Aunt wasn't such a jackass, you would have told me." Scootaloo quickly hugged Aria, who was sobbing her eyes out.
"Thanks, but Sasha still will hate me." Aria said
"She won't." Scootaloo promised. "Believe me."
* * *
"I can't believe you two came." Adagio said, biting into her sandwhich.
"Well we couldn't let you two come alone." Rarity told her, taking a ketchup back and handing it to Applejack.
"You could've. Today is hell. The teachers clearly hate me. Students laugh at me. Ugh. I should've stayed dead." Adagio cried, trying to hold tears back.
Applejack nodded in disagreement. "You shouldn't have died at all. We're all glad your back, Adagio."
"Thanks Applejack." Adagio smiled. "I'm not sure the rest of CHS agrees with you."
Applejack nodded at words she knew Sunset had said, split seconds before the dazzlings came in. "Did you really kill Flash?" She whispered.
Adagio nodded slightly. "Please don't bring it up here."
"Bring what up?" Rarity, Adagio, and Applejack all turned around to see Trixie and Misty.
"How I was trapped in a maze for a month and a half."
"Oh get over it you big baby." Trixie said, rolling her eyes.
"Hey Trixie!" Applebloom yelled from a distance. "Can't you shut the fuck up!"
"Zip it, blood bath." Misty snickered.
Applejack stood up. "You shouldn't be talking."
"Yes. I should." Misty smiled.
"If I wanted, I would have asked for your opinion." Adagio stated.
Trixie grinned. "Please. You should have stayed dead."
With all of Raritys force, she got up and unlady like slapped Trixie across the face.
* * *
"Sunset! I need to talk right now!" Sonata screamed into her tablet of an iPhone 6 plus.
"What's wrong?" Sunset asked, glancing around the Spa she was in.
Sonata sighed and then began her panicking. "Harmony is in this world! She's in Noahs Dawn for being a nut and trying to kill herself!"
"Slow down!" Sunset warned. "Are you sure it's not her human counterpart?"
"No, she says she from Equestria it's on her profile."
"You found this on Noahs Dawn?"
"Yes I hacked- anyway, that's not what I came to talk about."
"Okay, then what's the problem? Did F do something?"
"Why didn't us Dazzlings know that Rainbow was in Noahs Dawn?"
There was a long pause before Sonata heard Sunset burst into laughter. "She was never in Noahs Dawn!"
Sonata grew annoyed. "Yes she was."
Sunset stopped laughing. "You're serious? No, no Sonata. She would have told us."
"Well, the owners account must know it all. So, yeah she was in Noah's Dawn for three years."
"Well, Fluttershy told me that before the freshman fair, she did disappear for a real long time. But, Rainbow Dash wouldn't do this. She's loyal."
"Well I looked in her visitor log-"
"-What about Harmonys?"
"Nobody." Sonata anwsered. "Anyway, Rainbows mom, her dad, and guess who else visited her."
"I don't know."
"Principle Celestia."
"You have to be fucking kidding me." Sunset let out a long sigh. "This Spa appointment will take another hour, and the ride will be another two, so I'll be home in three. Bye." Sunset hung up.
"Bye." Sonata yawned, only to shortly to notice the note behind her laptop.
Can you see me yet? You know me. You hate me.
-F
