Chapter Two: An Unforseen Call

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Adagio sat on a bench in Canterlot Park, enjoying the cool morning air. It had been two weeks since her emotional breakdown. She still wasn’t sure why it happened but, in a way, she was glad it did. Ever since that night, she had been sleeping much better, she was no longer waking up in the middle of night or having nightmares of any kind. She was talking much more with Aria and Sonata, and even getting out of the house. For the first time in months, Adagio was feeling like herself again.

Several feet away, Adagio watched as coupled argued with one another. She couldn’t make out everything they were saying but she knew it had to do with one of them cheating on the other. As she watched the couple’s argument get more and more heated, she couldn’t help but think and chuckle to herself, ‘A fight like this would have left me satisfied for weeks had I still –' Adagio's train of thought was cut off as her phone rang.

“Hello?” she answered.

“DAAAAGGGGIIIII!!!!” screamed Sonata on the other end. Sonata’s high pitch voice caused Adagio to instantly pull the phone away from her ear.

“What the hell, Sonata?” Adagio said angrily. “Why are you yelling like that?”

“Aria took the t.v. remote from me and she won’t give it baaaaaack” Sonata whined.

Aria’s monotone voice could be heard in the background, “Shut up, Sonata. I told you, you had one hour to watch t.v., and then it was my turn”

Adagio placed her palm on her forehead and shook her head. “Please tell me that you are not seriously calling me about a remote, Sonata”

“B-But I had it first and…and Aria is just being a big meanie. Tell her to give it back, Dagi”

Once again Aria chimed in, “I’m not giving it back, Sonata. I don’t care what Adagio says. As a matter of fact, you can give me the phone too. I’m sure Adagio is tired of listening to your annoying voice”

“I’m tired of listening to both of your voices, actually” Adagio mumbled.

“NOOOO, get away from me, Aria” said Sonata.

“Gimme the damn phone, before I break your arm” Aria threatened.

“NO!”

“Uhmmm….guys?” Adagio questioned. “Helloooo, I’m still here y’know” Adagio let out a huge groan as she heard the phone hit the floor.

“OW!” yelped Aria on the other end. “A-Are you serious? Did you just fucking bite me?”

“That’s what you get for taking the remote, you big meanie head” said Sonata matter factly.

All Adagio could do was listen as the two sirens on the other end fought with one another. Sonata could be heard screaming in the distance as Aria swore profusely and hurled death threats at her.

“YOU BETTER PRAY I DON’T FUCKING CATCH YOU, SONATA! CAUSE IT IF I DO, YOU ARE SO BEYOND DEAD!!”

And just like that, Adagio’s peaceful morning was over.


On the other side of town, Sunset Shimmer and her friends were hanging out at their regular hotspot, Sugarcube Corner.

“What can I get for ya, Sunny?” ask Mr. Cake from behind the counter.

“Six strawberry milkshakes with whip cream, please” Sunset Shimmer ordered with a smile.

“AND SPRINKLES!!” yelled a high pitched voice from afar.

“And sprinkles apparently” Sunset said laughing.

“Comin’ right up” Mr. Cake said with a wink as he started making the drinks for his six most frequent customers.

Sunset Shimmer walked over to the booth where her friends were sitting and listened as they conversed with one another. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were engaged, in yet, another heated debate about some hit television show that was utterly butchered when it became a movie; Rarity and Fluttershy were discussing the latest fashion trends; and Pinkie Pie was no longer at the booth. She had taken it upon herself to make sure that their orders were correct by earnestly watching Mr.Cakes every move.

As Sunset Shimmer looked around at her friends, she smiled and thought to herself ' Life really can't get much better than this. I've got everything I could have ever dream of; school is going great and I have six amazing - ' Sunset's thought was immediately interrupted by Rainbow Dash who was snapping her fingers in front of her face.

"Huh...sorry, w-what did you say?" asked Sunset Shimmer.

"I said, your milkshake is dripping and to back me up here" Rainbow answered in the most perturbed voice.

"Uhmm...what exactly am I backing up again? Sunset asked inquisitively, while wiping the excess milkshake residue from around her glass.

Rainbow Dash face palmed and shook her head before dramatically throwing her hands in the air. "THE LAST AIRBENDER!!" she exclaimed. "Applejack believes that the movie lived up to the series but anyone with a brain knows that it was a complete failure"

"Because it did!" Applejack half shouted. "If anything, it exceeded the series original storyline. M. Night Shyamalan's added a whole new dimension to the movie which made the t.v. series that more realistic and believable.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me" Rainbow Dash said incredulously. "Sunset, please tell A.J. how stupid she's being right now"

"Uhhhh..." said Sunset while rubbing the back of her neck nervously. "I don't actually know what either of you are talking about, so I can't really -"

"WHAT?!?" Applejack and Rainbow Dash said in unison.

"I-I haven't seen the series or movie..." said Sunset. "Is that a bad thing?"

Rainbow Dash slammed her head on the table and repeatedly banged it against the hard surface while cursing to herself.

"I'm sorry, Sugarcube, but how in the world could you not have seen either the series or movie?" asked Applejack. It's been around for ages"

"Well, I-"

"Even I have seen both and I hate those kinds of shows" said Rarity while looking at her nails.

"So, I guess I should probably watch it then?" Sunset asked while looking around.

"YES!!" shrieked Rainbow Dash as she shot up from banging her head on the table. "It's only the greatest television show of all time! Rainbow Dash continued as she stared at Sunset.

Sunset put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from busting out laughing at the large red spot on Rainbow Dash's forehead. "Well, with summer just a couple a weeks away, I'm sure I can make time to binge watch it" shrugged Sunset.

"Unacceptable! We're leaving right now and going to my house" said Rainbow Dash, hopping over the back of the booth.

"Why?" questioned Sunset.

"Because, this can't wait until summer. You need to be educated now" answered Rainbow as she grabbed Sunset by the wrist and led her out the door.

"So...sleepover at Rainbow's?" asked Applejack, looking around at the three remaining girls.

"YAAAAAY" exclaimed all three as they grabbed their belongings and followed Rainbow and Sunset outside.


Adagio stood at the front door listening to the commotion that was going on inside the house. She threw her head back and groaned loudly. She had half a mind to just turn around and walk away from whatever horror lay on the other side, but she knew she couldn't abandon Aria and Sonata like that. So, as to mentally preparing for what she was about to see, Adagio inhaled and let out a deep breath. She then pushed the key into the keyhole and opened the door. Unfortunately, no amount of mental preparation could have prepared her for what she saw. In the small foyer, there was two broken chairs from the kitchen, glass all over the floor, and four holes in the wall. Adagio just stood in the door frame with her mouth wide open.

“Oh…my…God” Adagio said, as she slowly and carefully walked into the house. Adagio's brain was in full shock at her surroundings. She wanted to scream but when she opened her mouth nothing came out.

"Whatcha going to do now, huh?" scoffed Aria from inside the living room.

"Let me go, Ari" cried Sonata. "I'm sorry for calling you a meanie, okay?"

Adagio peered into the living room, only to see a crying Sonata locked in half nelson by Aria.

“Let her go, Aria” Adagio commanded, walking into the living room.

“Or what?” snapped Aria.

Adagio took a step forward and glared at Aria with such intensity that it made her blood run cold. Aria couldn’t help but look away from Adagio gaze.

“Fine” Aria said, releasing Sonata from her hold. Sonata scrambled to her feet and hid behind Adagio.

“What the fuck happened here?” demanded Adagio.

“She started it” answered Sonata, pointing at Aria.

“Shut up, Sonata. If you had just given me the remote none of this would have happened” Aria retorted.

“I had it first! If you wanted to watch t.v., you should have gotten up earlier” replied Sonata.

“I would have gotten up earlier if—”

“ENOUGH!!” Adagio yelled as she clapped her hands together. Aria and Sonata went silent. “I don’t care who started it” she continued. Placing one hand on her hip and the other pinching the bridge of her nose, Adagio said in her most threatening voice, “You two have exactly one hour to straighten up this house, or so help me Celestia, I will kill you both”

Just as Adagio was about to walk away, the phone rang. "I'll get it! shouted Sonata excitedly. She was about to run into the kitchen when Adagio grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her back.

"Watch where your stepping, idiot" Adagio said, pointing to the floor.

Sonata's looked down to where Adagio was pointing and saw the pile of shattered glass under her foot. She looked back up at Adagio and said with a smile, "Oops." Sonata stepped to the side to avoid the glass and walked carefully to the kitchen and picked up the phone.

"I was kind of hoping she'd step on that" said Aria with a smirk.

"Shut up, Aria" said Adagio blatantly as she sat down on the couch.

After a few short moments, Sonata returned to the living room. She stood in front of Adagio and held out the phone. "It's for you"

"Who is it?" Adagio asked.

"I dunno."

"What do you mean you don't know?" questioned Aria. "Didn't you ask who it was?"

"Uhmm...no."

Aria groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Gimme the phone" Adagio said as she snatched the phone from Sonata. "Hello? Who is this and how did you get this number?"

Sonata sat down on the floor next to Aria and the two watched as Adagio conversed with the mysterious voice.

"Uh huh...oh are you now...and what makes you think we'd even want to come back, hmm?" said Adagio in an exasperated tone.

Aria and Sonata looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Who is it, Dagi?" Aria whispered.

Without looking at her, Adagio held up her index finger to Aria and continued her conversation.

"Help?" Adagio said indignantly. "We don't need your help, we're doing just fine on our own, thank you...uh huh...well, I guess that's your fault for assuming we were homeless"

"Homeless?" Sonata said, scratching her head.

"I appreciate the offer but, I'm gonna have to decline. So, thanks for the calling, bye-bye now" said Adagio as she hung up the phone.

"So, for third time today, who was that? asked Aria.

"Principal Celestia" Adagio answered flatly.

" The fuck does she-"

Aria was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing again.

"Seriously?" Adagio grumbled as she answered the phone again. "Look, I already told you, we don't...misunderstood?...WHAT!?!" Adagio shot up from the couch and was angrily pacing the floor. "What the fuck do you mean 'mandatory'?!...if that was the case, why the hell did you phrase it like we had a choice?" Adagio asked furiously. "Oh, you were being courteous, well, gee, thanks!" said Adagio sarcastically. "Yeah, we'll be there...okay, I got it...I SAID WE'LL BE THERE! Goodbye!" Adagio hung up the phone and threw it on the couch.

"Soooo, I'm assuming that was Celestia again" said Aria.

"Yes" muttered Adagio as she walked out of the living room, up the stairs, and into her room.

Aria got up and stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Well, what did she want?"

"WE'RE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!" Adagio yelled and slammed the door.
