All I Want

It has been three weeks since the events of the battle of the bands rocked the grounds of Canterlot High School. This event was stated in response to three new girls who came to the school for one reason. They wanted to control the school and be adored. The three girls Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk were actually magical creatures called Sirens mythological monsters that could lure and control people with their beautiful voices. They were banished to this world from there homeward called Equestria and they had to reside in this new world forever.

A couple days before the Dazzling came to CHS a girl named Sunset Shimmer escaped from Equestria to this world with Princess Twilight Sparkle’s magical crown. Sunset’s goal was to rule the High School. After a heated battle Sunset was defeated by Twilight and the elements of harmony. There was a massive explosion of light as the demon was purged from Sunset foiling her evil plan. After showing remorse for her actions the elements of harmony; Rainbow dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy all agreed to be friends with her and forgive her.

At the time of the explosion The Dazzling were sitting at Sugercube Corner trying to find a way to get there true Equestrian magic back. They saw this explosion and new it had to be equestrian magic so they set off to investigate. In the days leading up to the finale of the Battle of the Bands tensions grew high between friends and students all the while the Dazzlings were feeding off the hate they caused with their voices to power there amulets.  Soon after figuring out The Dazzlings plan Sunset informed the Rainbooms; A band that the elements of harmony formed to win the battle of the bands. Sunset realizing that she never got to play any part in the band soon began to feel sad like deep down her friends still hated her because of her past.

During the final performance in the battle of the bands it was The Dazzlings vs The Rainbooms at first it was neck and neck but soon the Dazzling overpowered the Rainbooms. Once Sunset began to sing however twilight and the Rainbooms joined in with some help from Vinyl Scratch the schools resident DJ. In an amazing spectacle consisting of rainbows and a giant rainbow maned unicorn blasting the Dazzlings with powerful magic defeating them and breaking there amulets causing them to loose there powers and run away in defeat. The Rainbooms had succeeded in defending CHS from the evil sirens. However things were about to get worse for the Dazzlings leader Adagio Dazzle the pain of defeat soon angered the girl so much that she did something drastic.

“Damn it we were so close we almost won, damn that Sunset that bitch ruined everything” Adagio angrily sneered punching a hole in the wall. Aria Blaze who was easily the most rude and violent of the trio hoped of the nearby bench and confronted Adagio.

“Shut up. It wasn't her fault we failed, it’s your fault. If you weren't such a terrible leader who always stole the main spotlight out from under us we lost cause you were so selfish.” Adagio gets in Arias face and angrily stares back and grits her teeth.

“It’s not my fault you to couldn't pull your own weight. Aria if you had spent more time thinking about a backup plan instead of constantly trying to take charge of the group maybe we would've succeeded and Sonata if you weren't so clumsy we could've won.” Now at this time Adagio wasn't thinking about what she was saying, no at this point it was just blind rage.

“Ya know what we don’t need this you’re just as rude as I am but not only that you’re a control freak that no one will ever like or care about. So screw you Adagio enjoy life by yourself. Come on Sonata were leaving.” Aria grabs Sonatas hand and storms off. Adagio never wanted any of this she wanted to get back to Equestria and the three of them would take it over. More importantly all three of them were childhood friends and all the anger just built up and finally exploded. Unfortunately for Adagio she had just yelled at her friends and made them feel like they were nothing. For the first time in her life Adagio began to cry into her hands. As if karma was giving her a four course serving of payback it began to poor down rain. Trying to avoid getting soaked she pulled her hoodie out of her back pack put it on and ran to Sugercube corner. Once inside Adagio removed her jacket and looked around the shop all she could see was hateful sneers and looks of disgust and anger. She hung her head low and sat in the dark corner away from everyone she put her hood back up and buried her face in her arms and continued crying. For the first time in her life she was alone and no one to care for her, no one for her to hang out with and talk to but most importantly she no one acknowledge her and adore her. After several hours she heard the door open once again but she heard a voice she painfully recognized.

“Hey Pinkie how are you?” Sunset said cheerfully “I didn't expect to see you here so soon. I thought you would be throwing a party for everyone since we won the battle of the bands and saved the world.” Pinkie jumps over the counter hugging Sunset.

“Normally I would but I had the party cannon all loaded up and ready but then Mister and Misses Cake asked if I could cover the late shift what with the aftermath of the battle of the bands and all that.” This was odd because normally Pinkie never passes up throwing a party but then again she also like working for the cakes because she got to eat whatever they didn't sell at closing time. In retrospect Sunset couldn't blame her. If Sunset was in Pinkies position she would have done the same thing.

“So what can I get ya Sunset?” Pinkie asked manning the cash register.

“I’ll take a white chocolate coffee and two doughnuts please.” Sunset grabs her wallet out of her back pocket.

“Okie dokie Loki that will be five bits Sunset.” Sunset pulls out five bits and hands them to pinkie and goes to sits down while she waits for her order. On her way to find a table something catches her eye. In the corner of the store she sees a girl in a purple hoodie hunched over and she swore she could here crying. Out of curiosity Sunset walks over to check to see if the girl is alright. Upon getting closer the girl raises her head. Much to Sunsets surprise it was none other than the lead Dazzling Adagio. At first Sunset was very cautious as she didn't know if this crying was genuine or if it was another one of her tricks.

“Oh great what are you doing here?” Adagio says whipping her tears on her sleeve and sniffling. “Come to gloat or did you come to banish me somewhere else?” Sunset had never seen her like this but for a split second she had a flashback to very moment after Twilight defeated her and how sad she felt and how much she wanted to change. Snapping back to reality Sunset sits next to her.

“Now why would I do any of those things?” Adagio looks at her puzzled how could she sit there and hold no malice or hate towards someone who turned her friends on each other and nearly destroyed the school. Adagio then thought back to all the stories she had heard about Sunset. Soon everything became pretty clear to her. This was really happening someone was hopefully feeling sorry for her. Sunset puts her hand on Adagio’s shoulder.

“So where are the other two girls that were with you?” Almost as if Sunset had driven a dagger straight into Adagio’s heart she remembered the fight they had prior to her running here.

Adagio takes a deep breath and clears her throat. “Well shortly after you girls ran us off stage we escaped to the schoolyard and well we were so angry that we lost us just…” Adagio pauses as she shudders and a tear runs down her cheek. “We started yelling at each other and I said awful things and eventually it all boiled over and they left me behind. So now I have no friends and no place to live.” She begins to cry some more as Sunset rubs Adagios back.

“Sunset your order is ready.” Pinkie says sliding the cup of coffee and to doughnuts to the edge of the counter. Sunset gets up to grab it and looks at Pinkie.

“Hey Pinkie, can I get a second coffee I got someone over here who needs someone to talk to.” Sunset slides five more bits over to Pinkie.

“Ok coming right up Sunset.” Pinkie goes into the back to get the ingredients. Sunset walks back over to Adagio who has now decided to pull down her hood and show her face. Sunset slides over one of her doughnuts. “I tell you what Adagio, I know how you feel if you recall I was the same way when I was evil. Anyone can change their future but only if they have friends who can forget the past. What you did was wrong yes but everyone deserves a second chance and right now what you need most is a friend. So I’ll let you move in with me so long as you promise me two things. You have to forget your past your past is not today. Today is the day you change your future so the past doesn't repeat itself. Also I want you to go out and look for a job so you can not only pull your weight but show people you is changing for the better.” Adagio hugs Sunset tightly this time crying tears of joy at her generosity.

“Thank you so much Sunset you have no idea how much this means to me.” Sunset smiles and hugs her back. “No problem Dagi I’m your friend now I’ll be by your side and in time I guarantee so long as you do good more friends will join us.” After Sunset let’s go of Adagio Pinkie slides the other cup of coffee and Sunset grabs it handing it to Adagio with a warm smile. Returning the smile faintly the two girls began to talk for hours about themselves and their old lives in Equestria.

“Wait so there is a fourth siren?” Sunset says slightly worried.

“Ya his name were Burning Tempo he had been friends with me, Sonata, and Aria ever since we were kids. He always had this stupid shoulder length red hair and a bracelet with the same gem that was in our amulets.” The look of worry on Sunsets face deepens. What if he finds out what happened to his friends and he comes back for revenge. Noticing the worried look on her face Adagio smiles and rubs Sunsets shoulder.

“Don’t worry about him he disappeared shortly after our exile but he was never one for all that ultimate power ruling the world stuff. No Tempo only cared about two things us and his music.” Sunset looks to Adagio once again.

“But what’s stopping Sonata and Aria from stealing it from him and getting revenge on you, me, and everyone at CHS?” Adagio just looks at her and laughs.

“Are you kidding Tempo would never give up his amulet let alone Aria and Sonata aren’t skilled enough to take it. You see in our culture Male sirens are faster and stealthier and tempo was one of the fastest in our group. I miss him so much I hope he is taking care of himself.” Sunset smiles at this new side of Adagio it was good to see that Sunset was starting to get to her and change her.

“Well it’s getting late so let’s head home I’ll show you around before bed and tomorrow we will go around town and try and get you a job.” Adagio smiles at Sunset and hugs her once again with tears in her eyes.

“Thank you so much for everything you've done tonight Sunset. It’s nice to finally have a friend again.” Sunset hugs back as the girls grab there coffee’s and head out to Sunsets car and they drive away.
