All I Want

After a rather lengthy conversation with Twilight Adagio brings Tempo inside the house and she sits him down on the couch. The events prior still left a small amount of shock in Adagio. At first today was terrible and it only seemed to get worse but then something amazing happened. All in all she was happy that things went the way they did. Twilight however was not as on board with the idea as much as Adagio and Sunset were. Despite Tempo not showing interest in world domination one disturbing fact kept making its way into Twilight's thoughts. Tempo was a siren just like Adagio and he has the same gemstone Adagio had, since sirens have to feed of hatred to keep their powers how was he gonna gain access to set hate from what Adagio said he is loved by everyone in Equestria.

“Oh Twilight guess what?” Sunset sad with a smile on her face as she pulled out ingredients from the fridge and began to cook dinner for before Twilight had to go home.

“What is it Sunset?” Twilight said shaking her mind clear of her aforementioned thoughts about Tempos possible motives.

“Adagio and Tempo are joining us in school there gonna go enroll tomorrow morning. Normally Adagio wouldn’t have to re enroll but seeing as what happened I think this will work in showing everyone she I willing to change.” Just then Twilight had a disturbing realization; That’s how Tempo was gonna maintain his powers he was gonna feed of the hate everyone has for Adagio. Twilight looks over at the bruised sleeping siren.

“Sunset can I talk to you in private for a second it’s kind of important.” Twilight said sneering at Tempo as Adagio slaps him in the face to wake him up.

“Oh sure Twilight hey Dagi can you keep an eye on the noodles for me I gotta talk to Twilight real quick.” Sunset takes off her apron and washes her hands.

“Ya sure just don’t take forever, you know how shitty I am at cooking at anything other than eggs.” Sunset giggles as her and Twilight step outside.

“So, what was it you wanted to talk about Twilight?” A visible look of worry comes across Twilight's face.

“It’s Tempo I have a bad feeling about him, something about him just seems off.” Twilight said.

“C’Mon Twilight don’t start this again you acted the same way when Adagio first moved in.” Sunset said in an annoyed tone.

“Yes but Adagio didn’t have her magical pendent anymore. That bracelet on Tempos wrist has the same stone Adagio had on her necklace. He said it himself he travelled to many worlds in search of Adagio that warrants a lot of powerful magic. Tempo is a siren to keep his magic strong he has to feed off of peoples hate, now think he is attending school with Adagio. Everyone at school is gonna hate her for what she did and Tempo is planning on using Adagio and feed off there hate.” After a few minutes Sunset lowers her guard.

“Good point but I’ve seen how those to act around each other, Tempo would never use his best friend for personal gain.” Twilight goes to walk to her car so she can head home.

“Sunset all I’m saying is watch him carefully if he tries anything call me and I’ll have the elements over here as soon as possible.

“Don’t worry Twilight everything will be fine ok.” Sunset says waving as she head backs in the house as Twilight nods and drives away.

Once Sunset gets inside she gets her Apron back on and thanks Adagio before continuing to cook. Adagio and Tempo sit on the couch and continue to catch up with each other. Sunset smiles at how ridiculous twilight was being after all Sunset should know it’s not right to judge a book by its cover. She was sure there was a good reason that Tempo had the bracelet. On the other hand good intentions or not Sunset did agree with Twilight on one thing. Once Adagio walks through those school doors there is gonna be a lot of hate towards her and intentional or not Tempo is gonna feed off that hate. Sunset shakes this thought away and turns to drain the pasta.

Meanwhile, back at Twilight’s house. The girls are all having a sleepover and Applejack and Rainbow Dash notice that Twilight isn’t acting like herself.

“What’s wrong Twi? You look like something's got you down.” Twilight smiles and brushes it off.

“Oh it’s nothing Applejack just thinking about some odd things that happened today that’s all.” Twilight smiles before taking a bite of her apple.

“Oh come on Twilight it’s so obvious that’s it’s something more than that, just tell us will ya.” Rainbow said in an annoyed yet excited tone.

“Ok girls what I’m about to tell you, is completely hypothetical I’m not fully convinced this is true, but.” Twilight pauses for a few seconds. “We may have another siren issue on our hands.” The girls all look at her with mouths agape.

“What do you mean another siren issue did the Dazzlings get there power back or something.” Rainbow Dash said. “I thought we destroyed those pendants of theirs.” Twilight takes a deep breathe.

“There is apparently a fourth siren. His name is burning Tempo and he is at Sunset and Adagios place right now. Issue is Sunset seems to think that he lacks evil intents. Sirens do need to feed of hate for both magic and so they can sing so maybe he is just using to be in a band or something, but I just get this uneasy feeling around him something big is gonna happen here soon girls. Issue is I can’t tell if it’s good or bad.”

“I knew that damn Adagio was up to no good once a villain always a villain, I say we go ever there no and take care of both of them just to be safe.” Applejack said angrily. Rarity slightly mad at Applejacks harsh words.

“That’s enough Applejack. What if Sunset heard you say those words, and if you were paying any attention like we were you would’ve heard twilight say she isn’t one hundred percent sure he is evil. Also how could even say that about Adagio she may have been evil but from what Twilight and Sunset have told us Adagio is starting to turn herself around. Really Applejack you must learn to be more accepting of people instead of relying on your brutish tactics.” Rarity says as she returns to painting Fluttershy’s nails.

“I think Rarity has a point Aj.” Pinkie said in her normally bubbly tone.

“Thank you darling.” Rarity said smiling at Pinkie.

“Shortly after the battle of the bands, Adagio came into sugarcube corner all distraught and sad. Soon after Sunset came in and next thing you know she is offering Adagio a place to stay in exchange for her getting a job to help pay Sunset back.”

“Pinkie is right Applejack, it’s more so Tempo I’m worried about then Adagio. That boy has something he is hiding and for once I don’t have the answer to what that something is.” Twilight says looking out the window into the starry sky. Back at Sunsets apartment the three of them laugh and enjoy the delicious dinner Sunset has made. After a few minutes Sunset asks Tempo some questions about his life.

“So, Tempo how long have you lived in equestria?” Sunset twirls the pasta around her fork lifting it into her mouth.

“Well I came here about five or six years ago I think it’s been a while I know that.” Tempo eats the last of his food before leaning back pushing his plate forward. “Damn Sunset that was awesome cooking it’s been so long since I’ve had real food.” Both Adagio and Sunset look at home puzzled.

“What do you mean real food?” Adagio says scraping her plate.

“Well, when I was younger I was always a gifted siren turns out as were conventional sirens need magic to be able to sing. It turns out I was born with a natural gift to sing and play music without magic. So, I’ve had a band for a few years and when you’re on the road it's mainly junk food. Really the only reason I have this bracelet was to find this world, now it’s just a gaudy trinket that reminds me of home.” Sunset goes to put everyone’s plates away. That confirmed it there is no possible way Tempo could have evil intentions although things aren’t always what they seem Sunset was mostly convinced he was harmless.

“That explains all the special treatment you got when we were younger, I still remember how jealous me and Aria got.” Adagio says laughing at the now distant memory knowing that a moment like that will never happen again.

“So, Tempo, do you have a place to stay tonight?” Sunset asks putting away the now clean dishes.

“Ya I got a place near the edge of town, although if it’s cool with you thanks to Adagio I’m hopped up on painkillers. So, if it’s cool with you I was gonna ask if I can crash here tonight.” Adagio clings to Tempos arm excited.

“Please Sunset I haven’t seen him in so long, plus it will give you two a chance to get better acquainted.” Sunset giggle at Adagios sudden schoolgirl like behavior she could plainly see that there was clearly something more between these two, they just don’t know it yet. Later that night Sunset set up the couch for Tempo before she went upstairs to go to sleep. Tempo decides to step outside for a second to get some fresh air. He goes outside and walks around the block and begins to smile before throwing his head back and laughing maniacally.

“These fools are so simple never has it been so easy to bend people to my will. Granted without Aria and Sonata my goal will now be more difficult. Then, of course there is that nuisance Twilight she is a sharp one still though I need to meet the Elements of Harmony and gauge just how dangerous they are. If I can get the other elements wrapped around my finger the way I have Sunset and Adagio Twilight won’t be able to defeat me. It will be a slaughter and after I’ve whipped out his universe just like all the others I’ll take the fight to the princess herself. Mark my words Celestia you will pay for exiling my sisters you and your pet pupil Twilight.” Tempo smiles a now sharp toothy wide smile as his eyes flash green. Feeling better he puts on his facade once again and heads back into the apartment.
