Back at home, Adagio kicked off her spiky boots and lied down on the couch. Sonata pulled up a kitchen chair and sat upright, opening her mouth to say something, but then closed it and cowered away when Adagio glared at her. She was far from happy, and will let everyone know it. Sonata knew from previous experiences to leave her alone, so she went to her room. Aria stormed off to her bedroom (Witch is normal since she rarely comes out of it),sat on her bed, and got on her laptop. She pulled out a drawing pad and a large set of painting and sketching materials. She was on a website where she could brows through fabrics and other sewing materials. She ordered a yard or two of shimmering, deep blue-purple fabric with her signature two-toned star pattern. She then ordered some black leather for a belt and pair of black leather heels with her two-toned star printed on the platforms in mint green. She then ordered magenta and silver beads for bangles. Aria then shut her laptop and started to sketch herself wearing a short, ruffly dress with the deep blue-purple star pattern and a silver, metal star on her right solder. She drew the shoes she had ordered and gave herself a leather belt with silver spikes she wold add and gave herself magenta and silver bangles. She sat back and held her sketch pad up to view. Then Sonata came in. Aria was startled, but then groaned and continued to admire her work at the sight of her sister. Sonata climbed over the scattered colored pencils on Arias bed to sit and look at her sisters work. “It looks very pretty” Sonata said with a smile.
“It's far from my best.” Aria said with no emotion whatsoever.
“Can you please make me one?” Sonata asked as her bottom lip quivered and she started to tear up.
“OK FINE!” Aria roared looking away. She hated when Sonata did her puppy face. It always got her. “I'll have it designed in an hour now go away.” Aria said shoing her little sister away.
“Thank you thank you thank you!” the blue-haired girl said as her face lit p with excitement and hugged her sister until she could hardly breath.
“OK, OK, get off of me!” Aria streaked as she tumbled to the floor with her sister not far behind. The two of them sat up, laughed together, then stood up to hug. “ Now go on! An outfit wont make itself!” Aria said with a smile and kind eyes as she pointed to the door.
“Ok Ok” Sonata giggled as she walked out the door with a big grin on her face.
Aria returned to her spot on her bed. Pulling out her sketch pad and turning to a clean page, drew her younger sister with a magenta and black striped long-sleeved shirt. She then gave her a black fur vest and a bubblegum pink, red-purple, black, and navy blue floral ripped jeans. She completed the outfit with black leather healed ankle boots with silver buckles. Aria sighed and fell backwards, letting her bed catch her. It was only then she realized how hungry she was. She climbed out of bed and walked out of her room, closing her door behind her. Once out of her bedroom, she made her way to the kitchen, where she found Sonata making lunch. “How many sliders do you want, Aria?” she asked as she pulled out the ground beef from the refrigerator.
“Ill have three, thank you.” she said as she pulled up a chair. She glanced at Adagio, who had her headphones on and plugged into her laptop. She was tapping her fingers to a beat. “Do you know what Dagi's workin on?” Aria asked the blue-haired girl.
“Probably a new song.” Sonata responded as she separated the meat into patties. “She wouldn't let me hear it.”
“That's not out of the ordinary though.” Aria said as she stared at the orange-haired girl. “What caught my attention was her smile. Its so” Aria paused trying to find the word. “mischievous”
“Ya, you're right.” Sonata said suspiciously as she stopped her seasoning to take another look at her fellow siren. “Wanna choke it out of her at lunch?”
“Do you even need to ask.” Aria responded with a grin as she turned to look at her sister who was now putting the burgers on a plate to take out to the deck to grill. They shared a smile and a node as Sonata walked out the back french doors with the plate of sliders in one hand.
Twenty minutes later, Sonata came back inside and put the finishing touches on her burgers before presenting them to her older sisters. She carefully placed them on a rectangular plate and put a small plastic flag in each. She then placed her masterpiece on the table. “Lunch is ready, Adagio!” Sonata hollered to her older sister. The oldest siren looked up and quickly rushed to the table once she realized that her food was ready. “I give you, my sliders!” Sonata said with a wide grin. “ I have made the one on the right with BBQ sauce, crispy onion straws, Cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. The center one is topped with tangy steak sauce, chipotle aioli, Blu cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and crispy onion straws, served on an onion bun. The one on you're left is made with guac, bacon, Swiss, tomatoes, lettuce, onion and mayo. Aria, you're burgers are done medium-rare, Adagio has her sliders cooked to medium-well, and I have mine medium.”
Aria took a bite of the barque burger. “Sweet Celestia! This is amazing!” She said with sauce and juice dripping down her face.
Adagio tried the one with Blu cheese. “ This is simply divine!” she said, also with a messy face. “Sit and enjoy! You deserve it!” she said to her younger sister as she motioned for her to sit down and join them at the table.
Sonata sat down in her usual chair, the one closest to the window, and took a bite of her chipotle slider. “it is pretty good! I have to make these again!” she said after her first taste. She was proud of herself for cooking such a wonderful meal. “Oh! I almost forgot, what World you like to drink?” she asked as she stood up again.
“I'll have an iced tea please” Adagio said politely.
“Gimme one of my cokes!” Aria yelled as she picked up her third, and final, slider.
“Did you really finish so quickly!?” Adagio asked her sister with revolt. She hadn't ever started her second slider yet! “And try to be polite for once in you're life! I hope I don't even need to remind you of you're horrendous table manners! Were you raised in a barn!?”
Aria glared at her sister. “ Say what you want! Does it look like I care!?” Aria said as she shrugged her shoulders and slumped into her chair, licking her fingers clean after she finished her meal.
“Here you go.” Sonata said as she distributed the beverages to her sisters. “What have you been working on Adagio?” she asked with a smile.
“Oh, nothing.” Adagio lied with a smile on her face. “Just a song, no big deal.” she said as she sat up straighter and looked up. She was practically asking for attention.
“Ok, spit it out Dagi.” Aria said with a grin as she turned to look at her older sister. “It's clear you're up to something.”
“Well I was thinking about what you said the other day Aria, and I thought to myself ' Were like gods here! Why aren't we being treated like it!?' So I decided to grab my software and make a new spell for us! Our lives will never be the same! We will be the Celestia of this pathetic disgrace these, 'human's' call a world.” she announced as she stood up and clenched her fists with power.
Sonata and Aria were shocked! They were speechless! They looked at each other, and then were soon both wearing the same evil smile as their older sister. Sonata was the one to break the silence.”When will it be ready?” she asked her older sister? “Aria will have a perfect outfit ready for me!”
Aria blushed with embarrassment. “I can make one for all of us. I just need more time. The original drawings for Sonatas new outfit were to casual. Ill need to start again. For future queen's of the world, we need something jaw-dropping. Something amazing. Something...” she paused trying to find the her words. “ that everyone will adore.” she finished with a sly smile. “ I can probably get it done in two weeks tops.”
“ The song I'm working on is another mind-control spell, but a bit more permanent. Now, the humans should do only what we ask of them and nothing else. Society will now be siren based and everyone will work for us, but how do we get everyone to hear us?” Adagio asked her sisters, knowing that this could be the one kink in her ingenious plan. The girls all sat in silence for a while, all desperately trying to come up with a idea.
Then, Sonata spoke up. “The radio! We could hack into the radio!” she screamed with excitement and joy.
“That's great!” Aria said sarcastically. “How in the name of freaking Celestia herself do you expect we do that!?” she yelled at her younger sister with wrath and hatred as she slammed her fist's on the table, shaking it so her drink almost spilled." Besides! Radio signals only go so far, people have to have the radio on, and turned to the correct frequency!"
Sonata cowered and lowered her head at the sight of her sister so upset with her. She didn't know what she did wrong so was confused and startled with her older sisters reaction.
“ARIA!” Adagio yelled as she put her hand on Sonata's shoulder to comfort her. “That was extremely uncalled for! Apologist!”
“Since when did you become our mom Adagio! You're sounding more and more like her everyday! Back in Equestria, you were the one stirring up all of the trouble with mom! Now, you're no different than her! I liked you before, when you weren't so overbearing and actually knew how to have fun.” Aria huffed as she slouched down in her chair, tapping her nails on the kitchen table and glaring at the floor. “I guess that's why I followed you into this mess.” she sighed as she rested her hand on her lap. She grew less tense and started to relax after a few deep breaths.
Adagio and Sonata were speechless. They only watched their sister with shock and concern. It was Adagio who broke the silence. “ Well then, lets have some fun. adding to Sonatas idea, lets send out a presidential alert! it hacks into every radio and television signal!"
Aria looked up. “Finally! I thought the old Dagi World NEVER come back!” she said with a chuckle as she sat upright in her chair. “I'm in! No mater the amount of trouble we could be in!” she added with a small smile.
Sonata smiled her widest smile. “Me to!” she cheered as she jumped out of her chair to give her sisters a hug.
“Ok, that's enough! Take it easy!” Aria shouted as she was being squeezed by sonata with Adagio cramped in the center. She looked at Sonata who wore a warm smile on her face and had her eyes closed. Aria sighed and wore the same face as she put her arms around her sisters with love and trust.
"I CAN'T FIND MY FAVORITE SHIRT!" Sonata yelled as she was flinging garments over her shoulder as she rummaged through her closet. "I never go on vacation without it!" Sonata cried as she ran to dig through her dresser next.
"It's a freaking shirt, Sonata, and it's not like we're going to be there for more than a night. You wouldn't even have time to change into it." Aria said from outside Sonatas bedroom. She had heard her sister's cries from across the house and had enough of her winning. “I'm only bringing my backpack full of stuff we'll need for the hacking. I recommend you do the same." She said, knowing her sister will just overpack and complain about carrying everything.
"But what if Mr. Cuddles gets lonely? And Mrs. Elley! And madam flippers!" She said, grabbing three of her thousands stuffed toys layer on her bed.
"They're freaking toys, Sonata." Aria said, now in Sonatas room. "Go bother Adagio, I'll pack for you."
"OK as long as you don't forget my chargers, and my snacks, and my animals, and my headphones, and-"
"Just go!!" Aria said, cutting her sister off.
"Ok, Ok, no need to get pushy!" Sonata answered as she walked out the door. She immediately went to go check on Adagio who was carrying her travel, royal purple duffle. "Let's get going, the plane leaves soon. We'll bypass the security so that could buy us some time, but still. it’s cutting it close." Adagio said as she slipped her red heels on. Adagio was wearing a fenamin, nice red skirt with a nice, black, long-sleeve shirt. Her hair was down and she had her cell phone with its usual orange, sparkling case on it. She looked at the screen again. "Aria! Let's go!" She yelled as she closed the door behind her and climbed into their black car. Sonata put her espresso-colored knee-high boots over her maroon leggings. Sonata was wearing a navy blue, light blue, fuchsia, and white striped shirt and a deep, coffee-colored large V-neck sweater with a white neckline over it. She grabbed her tea and her pink sunglasses and headed out the door as well, carrying Arias leather, silver-spiked backpack. Aria ran out of Sonatas room and piled on her tan converse. She was wearing a dark brown tank with magenta lettering and a black denim vest. She wore black skinny jeans and a light tan fedora with a black ribbon around it. Her loose hair flew in her face as she ran for the car, where Adagio was honking, with Sonatas white and pink striped denim backpack.
When they arrived at the airport, they ran to get their tickets, singing to get them free of course. "Ok, we need to go to gate B-19." Adagio said as she held the tickets out for her sisters to see.
"I saw the sign, gates are this way." Aria said as she pointed to the security gates.
"Then that's where we're headed!" Adagio said as she folded the tickets and put them in her shirt pocket. "Let's make this quick."
"You packed my snacks right?" Sonata asked Aria.
"Ya ya, it's all there, all that you need." Aria responded as she reached into her back pocket for her phone and tussled through her backpack for her headphones. "You know the rules when I'm wearing these right?" Aria asked Sonata.
"Ya," Sonata said somberly. "no bothering you, talking to you, or touching you."
"That's right." Aria said, satisfied and put her headphones on and cranked up "sleeping with sirens", her favorite metal band. She thought there name was perfect, for she had a celebrity crush on the lead singer.
Adagio had her nose in a book and Sonata knew better than to disturb her when she's reading her favorite, "The Fault in Our Stars." The only time that Sonata has ever seen Adagio cry is when she was reading that book. She wonders what Aria packed her, so she pulled out her bag from under the seat and unzipped the first pouch where she found one of Aria's black hoodies and ripped skinny jeans along with one of Aria's black beanies. She was going to ask Aria why she brought them, but then remembered the rule. She opened her second pouch to find her headphones, goldfish, her Nintendo and two other cartridges other than the one already in there. She found her chargers, a can of coke, a sleeping mask and pillow. She powered on her handheld device and played for the rest of the flight, finishing her Coke and goldfish crackers.
They arrived in DC and filed off the plane. It was late and the sisters were tired. "Let's find an inn." Aria said.
"Oh, we can do better than that." Adagio said with a smirk as she looked up five star hotels in DC. "If we're future queens, we should have the best of the best everything."
They make their way to the hotel they agreed on, the Hispaniola, and got themselves the master suite. When they opened the door to the room, they saw three, queen-sized beds with white sheets, a fireplace, a living room, and two, full-sized bathrooms. The girls just stared, and Sonata was the first to throw herself on a bed. " I call this one!" She shrieked as she sank into the fluffy covers.
Aria was next. She jumped onto the left bed and said,"This is mine!"
Adagio, on the other hand, calmly walked over to the center bed and set her bag on the end. “Now get into your nightwear, we have work to do tomorrow."
The Wonders of the Capital (Unedited)
The bright sun shines brightly on Arias face, but she just rolled onto her other side. She had one of her arms dangling off the mattess and her mouth half pried open with the help of her pillow and gravity pulling on her head. She snores loudly, and is wearing a sleeping mask that says " Do not disturb if you want to live". No truer words have ever been embroidered on a black and yellow silk sleep aid.
Adagio, on the other hand, woke up and went to her private bathroom to spend the next hour or so with her hair, outfit, and makeup. This is far from something out of the ordinary. She does this every morning, hogging up the one full bath they have at home. Aria is the most agatated by this and she's constantly screaming at the door to hurry her sister up. But, as suspected, no matter how loud she shreaks, it's no use.
Sonata could care less. For a while, she had Aria do her makeup and hair because of a certain, " incident" with a razor and her eyebrows. About 50 years prior, she shaved her left eyebrow off due to " a misunderstanding about razors". Aria thought it was stupidity at its finest and decided to take the pain off of her younger sister and do her makeup from then on. Ever since, Sonata has had more of an edgier look from Arias art, and she found a strange liking to it.
Sonata was next in line to wake up. She sat up and yawned, stretching her armes out wide. She walked over to her backpack, still pretty groggy, and pulled out her outfit for the day. Aria had packed her a fun white and passel pink striped tank and light blue jean shorts and white convers. She smiled and was impressed with her sisters fitting selection and rushed to her own bathroom change and shower.
Sonata finished her morning routine before Aria awoke. Typical. She didn't think twice about what she was going to do next, but thinking twice is a fairly new concept to Sonata, so she did it anyway. She made the mistake of waking Aria up.
First she slightly tapped her on the shoulder, she then repeated this with a little more force and whispered her name cooingly. When that didn't work, Sonata, a little frustrated, shook her sibling awake and almost yelled her name. " ARIA WAKE UP I NEED YOU TO DO MY MASCARA!"
With these violent jerks, Arias eyes flashed open and after a few seconds to gain consensus, the look of confusion soon turned into a look of murder and hatred as she slowly sat up tense and not letting Sonata leaving her malace gaze.
Sonata soon realized her mistake as she slowly backs away and started to ramble apologetically. " I just thought that I needed you for my eyeliner and stuff."
The girls spent the next half an hour fixing each others hair and makeup. By the time it was over, Sinata came out wearing the outfit Aria chise for her, but instead of her normal ponytail, she had her hair in a meet bun atop her head. Aria wore a " Nirvana" tank and a light gray tank jean jacket. She wore ripped black jean shorts and black leather combat boots. She let Sonata do her hair, which was a partial mistake, so her usual pigtails were replaced with two, smallish buns with a few strands of hair dangling from them for effect. She did her makeup again as normal and came out of the restroom smiling and laughing with her younger sister.
The girls soon realized that Adagio was still in the bathroom. " Come on, Dagi! It's like, 10:45!" Aria said as she knocked on the door. Soon, Adagio finally made an appearance. She was wearing a very pale pink top with slightly darker pink diamonds scattered across the fabric. She wore jean shorts with hot pink leggings and her hair in a low ponytail tied with a deep purple spiked tie and she wore a pair of deep purple spiked cuffs.
" Ok, we have some time until dark, let's see the sights while we're here. I'm looking forward to the art museum." Adagio said.
" Um, ya, shure, whatever Dagi." Aria said dumbfounded. " Wait, ARE THISE MY CUFFS?!"
" I'm just borrowing them." She said as she pulled her brown combat boots on. " Alright! Let's go." She said as she jumped out the door with her sisters hot on her tail.
Once the girls arrived, they ventured off into their own departments according to taste. Sonata went to the pop art section where she was surprised that someone wiuld bother to paint a can of soup. Aria, perfected some of the rich in history paintings of the dark ages. " They tell the story how it was." She said to her self remembering when she and her fellow sisters lived in that world. Adagio, was onto the elaborate and colorful paintings of the Renaissance. " Oh I remember the century where people finally say color like it was yesterday." She thought as she stared at the paintings with awe. All three of the girls found themselves in the revolutionary war section.
" I never want to do that again." Sonata said timidly, breaking a somber silence between the girls.
" Ugh!" Aria said with a shiver. " Agreed!"
" Definitely not fun times, but we can't think about that now when we have such a bright future!" She roared as she wickedly smiled and rubbed her ruby red pendent. The other girls soon shook off there horrid thoughts and wore the same smile as their sister.
" Ya. We won." Sonata said, but with a hint of sadness as she returned to staring at the painting.
" Ok, I think we're done here. Where to next?" Adagio asked, trying to clear the bad air from the room.
" Well, I'd like to see the MLK memorial." Aria said.
" Great! That's where we're headed then!" Adagio said as she started to walk out the door.
" Wait for me!" Sonata hovered as she rushed down the hall to catch up.
Once at the memorial, Aria wondered around with ute rail wonder and respect. " I'm still a big fan of his." Aria said as she continued to roam.
" I knew you were find if him but it looks like you idolize him." Adagio commented as she shifted her weight and fixed her hair.
" It's because I do! He stood up for what he believed in, even if everyone else was against him. He was strong and never broke under pressure. Traits I try to live up to."
" Ok, ya, but can we please get going to the Hillwood gardens now? It's my turn." Sonata said. "We've been here for like, 2 hours."
" Fine Sonata." Aria said as she started to walk towards the exit. " It's only fair."
Once at the garden, both Aria and Adagio had allergy attacks. " Sonata, this is *sniff* horrible!" Aria complained as she pulled out her last tissue from her purse.
" I couldn't agree *sniff* more." Adagio commented. Her allergies were even WORSE than Arias and ran out of tissues a while ago.
" But the flowers are so pretty!" Sonata complained as she skipped off into another section of the garden. Her allergies never act up so she can't sympathize with her sisters.
" Hay Sonata!" Aria called with a smile on her face and her cell phone in one hand. " there's a taco place down the road and it's getting to be dinner time, wanna go?" Aria said with a smirk as she slapped her phone against her palm.
" Did you just say the most heavily food on EARTH?!" Sonata demanded with uteral seriousness. She almost looked intimidating as she got closer to Arias face.
"Um, yes?" Aria said, not sure how to respond.
With those words a gigantic smile so appeared across Sonatas face. " Well?! What are we waiting for?! LETS GO!" She shreaked as she practically dragged her sisters down the street.
" It's that way." Adagio said as she pointed in the opposite direction her sister was heading with a sigh.
" Oh, hehe." Sonata said sheepishly as she changed direction. "TO THE TACO PLACE!"
" Taxi" Aria called as she wove her hand in the air, not getting much luck. " Adagio, who are you calling now?" She asked annoyed with her sister not bothering to get off her phone for the past hour.
" Oh, just getting us a limousine, no big deal." She said as she continued talking to the man on the other end.
" YOURE DOING WHAT!?" Aria shreaked with pure furry. So much so, you could almost smell it. " I'm over here looking like a complete IDIOT and you tell me NOTHING!"
" Why I was so busy talking to the very nice man on the phone I didn't even notice!" Adagio said mockingly. She was now smiling and on the verge of laughing her head off. " just forget about it. We're getting picked up in five minutes so no need to make a scene now."
Sonata, was just watching the show, sitting in the curb and eating her taco. She was used to these kind of outbreaks with Aria being the bull, all riled up by the fighter, Adagio. The red cloth can be the stupidest things sometimes, but Adagio knows the exact sequence to releasing Arias full red-eyed potential. But the key to opening Arias anger cage isn't hard to find. " It's here!" Sonata shouted as she jumped up from her spot, taco sauce and she'll crumbs covering her face and dropping to the ground.
" Now, let's get a small morcel of the life style we will be living soon." Adagio said maliciously, as her classic scheming smile appears on her face. " A lick at luxury."
" Sonata, dear, you got a little something right...there." Adagio said as politely and as kindly as she could as she pointed to the youngest sisters entire lower mouth region.
Sonata wipes a small amount of sauce from her cheek. " DidI get it?" She asked as she climbed her way to the end of the lengthy limo.
" Not quite." Aria said as she reached into her ours and took out a wad of napkins from the restaurant. " I came prepared." She said with a smile as she handed her sister the napkins.
Sonata fixed herself using Adagios pocket mirror as a guide when her eyes catch neon lights surrounding wine classes and bottles. " Ooh! This looks like fun!" She said as she started to reach toward a bottle.
" NO!" Adagio and Aria said in a petrified, single voice as Aria snatched the bottle away from Sonata and Adagio took hold of the glass.
" Wha- WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" Sonata shouted as her face pouted.
" Umm, it's not for you. Adagio can explain." Aria said out of panic, handing the bottle over to the eldest sister.
" Why me?!" Adagio said as she was trying to find her words. " Ok to put it in simplest forms, one, it's for adults. Two, it will make you do crazy things and your insane enough. And three. You can get into serious trouble for drinking it early."
" But I'm, like, fifteen hundred years old!" Sonata complained.
" Ya but in this world, on their aging scale, you look fifteen, and you need to be 21 with IDs and stuff. It gets complicated, trust me."
" Ok fine! But when we take over, then can I try it?" Sonata ashes Adagio with her puppy eyes and innocent child voice.
" maby just one glass, but you won't like it." Adagio answered, warily, hopping what she said about her sisters to be distaste for the beverage is true. " But now let's go over our plan for tonight. Thanks to Sonatas taco stop we have some time before we get back to our room."
Aria slumped over in her seat, making an effort to make the fact that she was unhappy by her sisters remark as clear as day. " ADAGIO! I swear, we've been over this a MILLION TIMES! " Aria huffed, crossing her arms and her legs to make a statement.
" Well, there's no room for error!" Adagio responded, uses to her sisters uncooperative attitude. She pulled out a small sheet of white paper, wrinkled, and folded up several times. She opened the sheet and once all the folds were eliminated, reveled a sketched map of the device they would be hacking.
" Here, Aria cuts this wire, that wire, and those two red ones over there and reworded them back together when she's finished with the keypad inside. You download our recording of the song from your phone and activate the machine device by getting in to a computer nearby. The software must be so big the computer can't be good for much else so it shouldn't be hard to find the activation button. Sonata keeps watch and I spectate, making sure we're all on track as planned. I've printed out a map of the establishment, but I left it at the hotel. That shouldn't be the hard part with our ability. We can practically waltz right in and enchant our way through the crowd, but I don't want to cause any trouble with security cameras, So Aria you need to disable those too. Everyone got it?" Adagio asked.
" It's not like the plan changed from a half an hour ago so ya, I think we're good" Aria said briskly, tired of her elder sisters overbearing tendencies.
" There's no room for error Aria, can you please try, just TRY to be concise rate of what's riding on this mission. We fail, we go to jail for a life sentence, and for us that's forever. We succeed, we rule the WORLD! I damage power, fame, fortune, EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE will be ours! But only if we don't get caught. We're riding in rough water for the next few hours but it will be all be worth it when we get to paradise island, filled with velvet pillows and endless admiration." Adagio said, getting her point across to Aria.
The rest of the car ride was spent in silence, as the weight of the mission finally sets in, to everyone.
