Canterlot Highschool Shooting
Chapter 1: Time To Reason
Load Full StoryRevenge is sweet, they say. Your enemies can't get off Scot-free, they say. I guess we took that to a whole new level, although we aren't the first. I don't really know if anyone's actually gonna find this diary of mine, but if someone does, let me explain why you'll find it most likely when I'm dead or arrested in a bloody highschool. You may or may not know me, so let me introduce myself and my friends involved in our act. My name is Sonata Dusk and my friends are Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze. You may not believe our actual backstories, so I'll try to cut that part out and explain with less supposed fantasy involved.
We wanted to take over the school using these mystical necklaces we had on that enhanced our singing and cause anyone listening to it go into a fit of rage and argument while we gain energy from it by sucking the positive-ness out of them in the form of visible green mist that hardly anyone bothered to notice. Yes, we're basically sirens, but we're not the type that cause sailors to crash into rocks at sea. We weren't really into relationships anyway.
Back to what I was saying, we were very close to actually winning, but we let our pride get the best of us and we lost to the teen girl we tried to manipulate named Sunset Shimmer. Honestly, I prefer to call her Bacon Hair, but who says I'm the wise girl here? I don't really have much positive qualities left in me now, but for a good reason.
When we lost, the Siren Necklaces as we called them were smashed to pieces and we lost our ability to hear as well as our beautiful singing talent. We knew were powerless and outnumbered school to 3, so we just ran away before the stampede followed us. We ran back to Adagio's house, which was a house near the block of the school and huddled in the basement. Aria, who's curled up in a corner and unimpressed as seen by the look on her face simply asked out of nowhere, "Now what do we do?" We couldn't hear her obviously, but I was an expert lip reader, so while I looked through the basement to observe the school, I simply replied, "I don't know. We have no power anymore and we're on our own." I don't think she even saw my lips move in response as I looked back to see her face sunken into her huddled legs and arms. But I also noticed Adagio clawing at her own face and hair in fit of rage and pessimism and she even had her mascara melted by her angry tears, but before she could do anymore self-harming, I grabbed one of her arms and shook my head at her.
She at first looked at me with clenched teeth, red eyes, bleeding face, and showing a let-go-of-me-or-you'll-regret-it look, but once she saw me say, "You hurting yourself won't solve anything" even though she was deaf, she simply sighed, fell to her knees and proceeded to cry a river for an entire minute with her hands covering her face. When she went as dry as a desert, I put my hand on her shoulder and said, "It's okay", even though I knew she wouldn't hear me say that. Instead of seeing a face of pity looking at me, it was a red one from her and I soon fell down as Adagio punched me in the face and started to choke me while pinning me down. I then saw Adagio say something to me angrily along the lines of, "YOU'RE THE FUCKING REASON WE LOST! ME AND ARIA ARE THE ONLY SMART ONES HERE WHILE YOU'RE THE RETARD WITH TACOS FOR BRAINS! I WANT YOU TO DIEEEE!!!". It was hard to get any air in me, but before I could pass out from the suffocation, I saw Aria grab Adagio's chest from behind and Adagio tried to pry them off to break free. While I slowly got up, I saw Aria try to say, "Adagio, don't put the blame on only Sonata! It's all our faults here, but we shouldn't murder each other over it!" Adagio soon stopped fighting and dropped her head and arms down like a hung weasel and I asked, "Well can we first solve our hearing problem first?" It took a while for Aria to understand what I questioned, so she then ran upstairs, came back with a note and pencil and showed it to Adagio with the question, "Do you have any money, Dazzle?" Adagio took the pencil and wrote her answer, "I keep my savings in a piggy bank under my bed. Go and take as much as your want. I don't care anymore." I guess Adagio is also after the same goal as me for us now. Aria nodded and went off. I heard the front door close and I let out my hand to Adagio as she soon used it to get up and said while crying again, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry." My only response is me hugging her, petting her torn hair and whispering to her ear, "I forgive you," although she was still deaf. We got upstairs and waited in the living room couch for Aria to come back. Adagio watched TV while I whistled and stared at the door for at least 15 minutes before a familiar purple dyed girl walked through the door with a bag labeled with the nearby pharmacy's symbol on it. She dropped the receipt, paused the show Adagio was watching and walked right in front of us, in front of the TV to be exact.
"Ok girls. I managed to buy us some hearing aids. Pick the one you want and tune it to your listening" is what Aria explained after soon pulling out two ear shaped hearing aids with handles to wrap around our ears attached to them. We proceed to grab one, place it comfortably in one of our ears and tune the turning knob on it until we soon regained our sense of hearing. We did a group high-five, but our crown of happiness dropped to our ankles when we remembered what happened to us, so we simply sunk into the sofa and Adagio the remote and began channel surfing. I turned my head to Aria who questioned, "So what did you two do while I was gone?" I simply answered, "Just made amends and waited." Aria looked over at Adagio and muttered I believe, "At least we're friends again." before asking a bit loudly, "Do we have a plan?" I turned to Adagio who had now an evil grin on her face as she chuckled and claimed, "Oh yes we do now and it's perfect. Look." She pointed at the TV to her plan: she was watching a documentary of an event back in 1999 called the Columbine Highschool Massacre Shooting. "Time for Canterlot Highschool Shooting to be set as our revenge" Adagio proposed as she soon did an evil laugh...
