Tidal & Tempest
I sat alone in that ten story house, the night sky complimenting the moonlit interior of the home. I yawned and made my way down the steps. Upon reaching the kitchen, I opened up the fridge and pulled out some leftover dinner I made. "Need to hit the store again." As I began to heat it up, my mind desperately flashed back to moments in history, a year after we married when we purchased the house.
1 year after marriage.
"Delz, is there any particular reason I am not allowed to see?"
"It's a surprise."
"What surprise could possibly lead to me being blindfolded?"
"Come on Aria, don't spoil it now. Trust me, you're going to be blown away."
"If you say so." I sped my car down the dirt road with haste, constantly searching for the structure that would soon appear on the horizon. "There you are." After slowing the car into a park, I got out and helped Aria out of the car. After leading her a few feet up to the structure, I stepped back and whistled. "Delz honey, what was that?"
"Oh nothing, just go ahead and remove the blindfold."
I watched as she slowly removed it and her eyes grew big with tears. "Delz...is...this what I think it is?"
"Welcome to home sweet home."
Suddenly I was on the ground being suffocated by a make out session. That's when six figures jumped out and screamed, "Surprise!"
Aria jumped off me just as quick as she jumped on. "Oh my Celestia!" she said as she piled into the group hug everyone presented. "Why is everyone is here?"
Sonata struggled but finally escaped the hug. "We're moving in too silly."
"R-really? I thought you all would surely move to your own lives."
"Oh we will, just not any time soon."
I walked up and put a hand around Aria."Wanna go see the inside?"
"Yes yes yes!"
She bolted up to the door before I could blink trying to open the door to no success. "Aria, the door is locked."
"Oh. Did I get a bit too excited?"
"Little bit." After opening the door, we all gasped at the sight. The house interior was a sight to see indeed. The floor was granite and smooth while the walls were painted tan, of course I'm sure all the girls will change this to fit their taste. The front door sat opposite of a long hallway leading down to a door which was the basement. On the right of the hallway were stairs leading up to the rooms and on the right of the stairs was a doorway to a huge living room. Another doorway inside the living room led to the kitchen. The living room, basement area, and upstairs were all carpet I might add. "So what do you think? Took me about a year to renovate this place just the way you would like it." Aria was frozen in place, still as ice. "Aria?"
She slowly turned, a bright smile on her face but tears pouring down her cheeks. "I...don't know w-what to s-say. I..." She rocketed into my arms with no hesitation. "I love you so m-much!"
"You too hun."
All the girls gave me a thumbs up as Aria cried into my shirt. "Girls....please vacate the premises for a while." Pinkie Pie was able to pick up on the hint and just disappeared, she didn't walk out, there was just a popping sound and she was gone. Everyone else stood in confusion, more from Pinkie Pie vanishing until she popped back in and whispered something into Sunset's ear. Sunset gasped and began to motion everyone out. After they shut the door, Aria removed herself from my shirt and wiped her tears away. That's when she began to give me the hardest bedroom eyes anyone could give. "So....which room is ours?"
"Uh...up the stairs, 5th door down on the right side."
"Mind showing me where that is?"
"Um..sure. I mean if you really can't find it."
"Delz dear, we're alone and I'm the happiest girl on the planet right now. Make the connection sweetie."
"Alone....happy....am I missing something?"
She giggled at my response as we reached the top of the stairs. Before I could turn to our room, she tapped me on the shoulder. "Should be obvious now." she said as she removed her top giving me a shot of her lovely small breast.
"Well I feel stupid now. Any chance I can grab some aspirin before we do this."
"Hahahahaha...get in the bedroom dear." Here I come soreness.
I removed my food from the microwave and proceeded to the living room. "Man, that was a good day. Course there were better ones."
2 years after marriage.
I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and my phone alarm going off. Kinda peaceful I guess. What caught me though was the smell of food. Like a speedy little hedgehog, I threw my clothes on and headed downstairs. I expected to see all the girls sitting in the living room waiting for food but no one was in sight. Instead I heard the angelic humming of someone in the kitchen. I slowly made my way to it and peeked in. Instantly my face hit with red as I stumbled backward slightly. "Oh hey there Delz, good morning."
"H-hey there Aria. G-good morning to you too."
"Something wrong?"
"N-no nothing. I'm just curious about the....um...outfit."
"Oh you mean this thing, Sonata let me borrow it." Apparently Sonata kept the maid outfit from our first time living together. It's....revealing isn't even the word, It left nothing to imagination. Aria's small breast poked through it easily while, as soon as she turned to take something out of the oven, her rear was left in the open for all to see. "It's not to revealing is it? She said this would help strengthen our relationship."
"Oh it's strengthening something alright."
Life sure is great despite what it looks like. Sure it seems like i'm depressed right now but actually I'm not. There is good reason as to why the house sits empty except yours truly.
3 years after marriage.
"You're serious?" I said as I held up the paper to clarify.
Aria nodded and happily cheered to herself. "We've been so focused on making the best of our relationship that I completely forgot about this application."
"Dear Aria Blaze, we have reviewed your application and happily accept you join us at Everfree College. This...is...amazing!" I said as I picked her up and spun her around.
Before I could speak, Applejack ran down the stairs and into the living room where we sat. "Hey fellas, you're not gonna believe what just came." Aria held her letter up to AJ who gasped. "You got accepted to?"
Aria and her both happily jumped up and down as I sat and smiled. "So did all of you get one?"
"Pretty much. The rest of the girls are already packing."
"Yea..great."
Aria witnessed my smile drop and ran to comfort me. "What's wrong?"
"It's...just that I'll be all alone when you guys leave. I'm gonna miss you you know."
"Oh darling, don't be sad. We promise to come back at least once a year to see you, Christmas at least."
I gave her playful pout then smiled again. "I'm gonna need everyone's word on this."
"As soon as we're all done packing."
Aria ran like a giddy schoolgirl through the door, Applejack in tow. I was happy for them, really. Although, a bit a bit bummed that I'd be utterly alone over the course of 3 or 4 years. Too bad I went to college already. After about an hour, everyone came down the stairs and piled in front of me. "Hey guys, what's up?"
Suddenly they all posed like anime models and pointed, "We promise to visit at least once a year every year we are gone, Rainboom's honor!"
"You guys....are really the best." I took them out to eat that night, a place in downtown canterlot where I was popularly known as a regular, best pasta in the city. We arrived laughing and playing all falling utterly powerless in the living room. "That had to be about the most I've ever eaten."
Aria giggled as she slid down the ground. "I'd say, you and Rainbow certainly made the most of the bill."
"Hey she challenged me to eating contest, I don't back down from a challenge."
Rainbow fell flat on her back in front of me motioning for a fist bump. "I don't think I've ever been so full before. You got some serious eating skills Delz."
I returned the bump and laughed. "Thanks but I think we both knew who won."
Simultaneously, we both shouted, "Me!" prompting me and her to both stare each other down.
She chuckled then slowly got up to a sitting position. "Rematch when I get back?"
"Oh you are so on." I slowly walked over and picked Aria off the ground, sitting her down next to me on the couch. "So I guess you guys are leaving tomorrow morning?"
Twilight adjusted her glasses before rubbing her belly. "Yes unfortunately, It was quite hard to book ten seats but I made it happen. It's a shame, I may have not have much interaction with you over the recent years but I have grown quite fond of you Delz."
"You're which Twilight again?" She gave me the most terrifying look I've ever seen a cutie with glasses give making me quickly take it back. "Sorry sorry, it was a joke."
"Good."
"I really am going to miss you guys. Competing with you, Rainbow and AJ, Jamming out with you Sunset, Eating sweets with you Pinkie. I also have to say thank you to Twilight and Rarity."
Rarity looked just as confused as Twilight. "For what dear?"
"If it wasn't for you Rarity, I would've never been able to get that promotion. If it wasn't for Twilight, I would've never been able to pass that college level test they gave me for the promotion. Thanks guys, I mean it."
"Your welcome." They responded.
"I especially have to thank you mom."
Fluttershy's blush went ten times the limit that moment. "M-mom?"
"If it weren't for you, I'd still be on the street doing who knows what. You took me in and took care of me, got me my first house, the words don't even count as a worthy thank you."
"Oh my...I'm flattered."
"Course the peak of my thanks goes towards you Aria. You've been there for me every step of the way. At first we hated each other but I'm glad we managed to get past it."
"You have no idea what you do to me. If only the gang weren't around."
Some went, "awwww" some went, "ewwww."
Present day
The girls left that next morning, I waved goodbye to them as they piled into three different cars and sped off for the airport. And so began trying to entertain myself for three or four years. It's been about a month now and i'm already bored beyond belief. I looked outside the window, the sun peaking it's golden rays over the horizon making me cover my eyes in response. "Time for work I guess." After finishing my food, I made my way upstairs and got dressed, throwing on the suit and tie Rarity had made me. I freshened up then proceeded to grab the simple things as I started out the door. "Phone, keys, wallet....alright, I'm good."I unlocked my car upon closing the door and got in. With haste, I turned the key and began to pull out until something caught my eye, a shift of something in the trees just beyond my house. I ultimately chocked it up to being a deer or something and took off for the city. Half an hour later, I arrived in park to Ray's K, the fancy store I've worked at for the majority of my life. I got out, adjusted my suit, and walked inside. "Hello ladies and gentlemen!"
"Please welcome the one and only man with the biggest ego in the store." said a voice from behind the counter.
"What? I can't say hi?"
"Yes you can but you don't have to announce it to the entire store." Out stepped my permanent chief in command, Sunny Flare. Funny story, she was working at her old job but then they apparently wanted her to wear a bikini in the store so she quit. Not like she's gonna get anything different her. "And how are we today Delz?"
"Could be better."
"You're still bored at the house I suppose?"
"Oh big time. I've tried calling Danny a million times but he's not answering. I think I may have to go check on him."
"You could always invite me."
"And end up in first situation ever where the man gets raped? I don't think so."
"Suit yourself, I could've gave you one hell of night."
"Number one, I'm married, number two, you need to stop flirting with employees."
"Would it be wrong of me to order you to show me a good time?"
"Just because you're manager and I'm assistant manager doesn't mean I'm going to obey a ridiculous order like that."
"You're no fun. Customers are coming in by the way."
"To work I go." The day went on as normal, people came in, I show them around, and without error, they leave with something. Even as the assistant manager, I'm working hours just like the others, I just have a say in decisions that involve the store. Last shift of the day, anyone would be happy. Of course I was mixed. Happy to go home but not happy to be alone. Suppose I should've taken Sunny's offer. "Five minutes until I can jet, come on." Four.....three.....two.... Just then a rather unusual man walked in. He was dressed nice, most likely in his late 20's, but walking as if disoriented. "Excuse me sir, are you ok?"
"Fine fine." he said. "Just browsing."
"Well if there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask."
Just then I could hear Sunny growl silently. "Not him again."
The man quickly placed his hands on me in anger. "Where is she?!"
"Sir, what are you doing?!"
"Tell me where she is?!"
"Who?!" I struggled to resist the man as Sunny whistled. I looked back, still struggling, and watched as she pointed to the man and put her thumbs down. I mouthed, "You sure?" and she nodded. Hope I don't get sued for this. I removed his hands and flung them up, allowing me to drive an elbow into his stomach then the opposite knee into his stomach as well. He flipped helplessly over my leg and onto the ground. "Anyone want to tell me who this guy is?" I said as I cleaned myself off.
Sunny dialed 911 and spoke as if she had done this before. "Hello police....yea it's Sunny....he's here again...thank you." She hung up and walked over to me. "Would you be a dear and drag him outside?"
"Gladly. Who is this guy though?"
"The old owner's crazy Ex-boyfriend. Comes in here every couple of days, usually after you leave, and demands to see her."
"Really? Well thank Celestia he did, most fun I've had all month."
"Well thank you for being here Delz. Would've taken the rest of the employees to subdue him."
"No problem. Well, my shift is over. You got him from here?"
"Certainly."
"See ya later then. By the way, we should really look into security."
"Duly noted."
I turned my car on and pulled out of the parking lot and was about to head home until my thoughts went to Danny. I made an immediate U-turn and headed for Danny's house. Upon pulling up in the driveway of his house, I made one last attempt to call him. "Come on Danny."
"H-hello."
"Danny? You ok? Why are you whispering?"
"Shhhh, keep your voice down. It wasn't safe to answer any calls."
"Safe?"
"Dude, Megan went completely insane."
"What a surprise, another girl gone completely insane after dating you. I thought you dumped her before I got married?"
"That was kinda harsh but i'm good. And I did but she won't leave me alone. She is constantly coming to my house for stupid reasons, in her mind we're still together, and then she's surprised when I kick her out."
"So what's different this time?"
"I'm being held captive in my house."
"But you can just kick her out right?"
"And get shot, I don't think so."
"Shot? Dear Celestia, how many times do you plan on almost getting killed by a girl?"
"This the last time I swear."
"Fine. I'm calling 911 then i'll be in there in a second, just open a window or something."
"On it." I hung up the phone and dialed the number. After giving them our location, I returned the phone to my pocket and got out of my car. A text caught my attention. "Upstairs window, back of the house. "
"Alright then." Not easy to climb in a suit let me tell you but I made it happen. I pushed the window open and climbed inside trying to be as quiet as possible. Not easy when you got dress shoes that make a hard thump against the carpet floor. I quickly closed the window and rolled under the bed as Megan quickly appeared in the door way. I watched her feet walk around for a good two minutes before departing into the rest of the house. Upon rolling out, I noticed the closet door in what was Danny's room slightly opening. "Danny?"
"Over here dude, quick."
I made my way into the closet as he shut the door. "You good?"
"Fine fine. Just scared half to death."
"How long you been in here?"
"Two hours."
"And she hasn't found you yet?"
"She's not bright in some areas."
"Well I got your back bro. I'm gonna take her down, you get the gun. What kind of gun is it anyway?"
"Sawed off shotgun."
"Where the hell did she get something like that?"
"I have no idea bro. Just take her down, please."
Me and him both stepped out of the closet and made our way into the hallway. Slowly, I stepped down the stairs, careful not cause a sound. There she sat in the living room holding the gun at her side and watching the TV. "Is she really just waiting for you to come out?"
"Pretty much."
"Here's the plan, I get the gun out of her hands, you grab it and put it as far away as possible."
"Cool."
I sighed as I began to plant my foot to turn the corner. I quickly turned the corner and just as quickly, she noticed and began to aim. I realized the error it would be to rush her and instead dropped to a slide. Everything was in slow motion as I watched the bullets fly over my head and strike the wall behind me. I made the effort to get off the ground as quickly as possible and rush her. I successfully palmed the gun upward before she could fire again. The bullets hit the ceiling allowing me to bring her hand in a circle with my own and swipe the gun throwing it to Danny in the background. "Alright Megan, It's over. You've got no gun and no leverage."
She just stared at me with the intent to kill. Instantly she shot around me and put me in only what I can describe as a reverse full nelson as she flipped me over her body and straight onto my stomach. Danny sucked his teeth as if he had done something wrong. "I thought I told you she knows Judo."
"That never came up in conversation within the last few years." I stood up and was greeted with a roundhouse kick to the face. I stumbled back but caught myself before she could attack with a punch. I countered, taking hold of her arm and bringing it behind her. She brought her leg between mine and tried to flip me over again. This time however, I flipped onto my feet. Quickly, I flipped to facing her and we ended up in a hands together tie up. "I really don't like hitting women but.."
Instantly I brought my leg to her side throwing her off balance allowing me to slip behind and apply one chop to her neck. I stopped her and guided her slowly to the ground. "Dude that was amazing."
"That hurt is what that was. The next time you date someone, make sure they're not crazy."
"I've tried man, I've tried."
"Police, anyone home?!"
Danny went to the front door and guided them in. "Right this way officers. She's right there."
"What happened here?"
I took a second to stretch then sat down. "Crazy girl came in with a gun, tried to kill him, then tried to kill me, so I had to put her down."
Both the cops looked at me then Danny. "You're Danny right?" one of the officers said.
"Yes sir."
"Well that makes sense. Come on, let's get her into the car."
I stood up and walked out with them. "You're not gonna ask any questions?"
"Oh no, Danny is a special case, we always get called for things like this when it comes to him."
"That's hilarious."
I made my way back into the house as Danny hugged me. "Dude, thank you for checking on me. If it weren't for those bad ass kung fu skills, I would've been a goner."
"Hey after what happened with those two stalkers, I figured I would need a little self defense. "You gonna be good."
"Now that she's gone, I'll be fine."
"Well then see ya. And let's try not to be almost killed by another girl cool?"
"I got it, trust me."
"I swear if I see it on the news tomorrow."
"You won't ok."
"Alright then." I made my way back to my car and down the road. "This has to be about the most action I've had in a while. If only these day came more often." Despite how long I was gone, traffic was still horrible, it's going to take me almost an extra hour to get home. Not a surprise that during that extra hour, It began to pour like a waterfall from the sky. I carefully made my way home and pulled into the driveway. I stayed a moment, contemplating how I was going to get to the front door without getting too soaked. I sighed and quickly stepped out of the car dashing to my door and opening it. Before entering though, I looked back to that spot in the trees. The rain made it more than hard to see what was in the distance but I could tell that whatever was there was still there from this morning. I changed out of my suit and put on some rain resistant clothing and made my way into the storm. It was raining so hard that it created a white mist around the area dropping visibility to almost zero. I stumbled in the direction of the movement in the trees as the wind pushed here and there. Without warning, I was on the ground having tripped over something. I looked back to see what it was but the mist made it damn near impossible. It was a person I could at least tell who had a slight trickle of red coming down their forehead. Whoever it was must've hit their head out here and lot consciousness. Acting quickly, I picked the person and immediately figured it was girl by the feminine structure. The wind was the real enemy here, pushing me around like rag doll as I carried her to the safety of my home. I set her down in the living room despite her being wet and proceeded to bulldoze the door closed. "Come on!....Close you piece of.....there!" After removing my jacket, I made my way into the living room and was about to get a good look at the nasty hit to her head......until I saw who it was. I banged my head against the wall in anger as the female who now sits in my chair is none other than, "Adagio Dazzle?.......I hate my morals so much."
"Crap crap crap crap crap crap. Don't be afraid to put your morals first Fluttershy says, help those in need she says. Guess what I did mom, I saved a person, I should feel happy. Call it morals or call it bad luck, of all the people I had to save, it had to be Adagio Dazzle. What was she even doing out there? She's lucky I was nice enough to manage that nasty hit to her head. Guess she'll wake up sooner or later."
I planted my butt in a seat and began to watch TV until she began to stir. She groaned and moaned as her eyes fluttered open. I quickly ducked behind the couch as she awoke. Don't ask me, I don't know why I did it. "H-hello?" Her voice sounded so different. Just like Aria, her voice was much softer and cuter. "I saw you go behind there. W-who are you? I'm calling the cops."
Quickly, I removed my phone from my pocket and shot up. "Sorry, I was just getting my phone."
"W-who are you mister?"
"Um...Delz....you know...guy you tried to kill."
"Kill? I would never kill anyone, I'm not that crazy."
"You can stop playing dumb Adagio." you said as you placed your butt on the couch.
"Who's...Adagio?"
"You're Adagio.....crazy siren from Equestria."
"You have lost me completely. I don't know what a siren is or what city is Equestria."
"Equestria is a country on the other side of the portal, you know that."
"A portal? Please slow down sir, can you explain this to me? My name first if you would be so kind."
"Your name? It's Adagio Dazzle."
"Adagio Dazzle....sounds musical."
There's no way. "Adagio, what are your sister's names?"
"I have sisters? That's amazing, maybe they can tell me who I am."
There is no freaking way. "Can you tell me who sent you to the human world?"
"What other world is there?"
Holy crap, there is no way. One more test. "Adagio, do you remember anything from the last 24 hours?"
"Not specifically. Actually I don't even remember a good portion of my life, I just woke up here. I assume I've been staying with you for a while haven't I?"
Well can't use that one anymore. She might actually have Amnesia. Now I could tell her everything that Sonata and Aria have told me but what if that suddenly gives her back her memory. "Well no, actually you've been.....um...."
"What are you trying to say sir? Oh my, are we partners? Have we been intimate yet? Maybe then I should....."
"Wait what are you doimmf..." Without warning or choice, I was barraged with a rump on my lap and kisses my way. She succeeded on a number of tries of course until my mind finally came to it's senses before it alerted that traitorous part of my body. I had to quickly restrain her before it got out of hand or into one if you know what I mean. "Adagio, we're not together." Anymore. It would be nice though...What am I saying you're with Aria now, keep it together.
"What do you mean anymore?"
"What are talking about?"
"You said we're not together anymore."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't Adagio."
"I woke up here, I don't know who I am or where I am, I'd be very grateful if you told me what you mean."
"Ok but before we do that, could you get off of me."
"Oh right." After removing herself from my lap and taking a seat next to me, I did my best and began to explain everything to her, her entire life, our relationship, starswirl and all.
"And after that last defeat, you kicked Aria and Sonata out, since then they've been staying with me."
".......Wow.....I am a total jerk. Why would I ever do something like that to my own family?"
"It's hard to say. We all believe that your lust for power drove you insane but some believe that whatever it was in canterlot you attended may have had something to do with it."
"I am so so sorry for everything really."
"It's ok Adagio, you really weren't yourself."
"I mean If I could make it up to you...I'd like to...you know..."
"Kinda married to your sister like I said, remember?"
"But....you know...she's not here...."
"But I'm married and I will continue to give that excuse. You're really gonna try and come on to a guy you just met."
"Well you said we've known eachother for awhile now. Something's telling me to believe you.....it's also telling me something else." she said as she kissed my cheek. Wait a minute, something's off about this. Why is she suddenly so horny. I mean I can't exactly say that I just make girls horny at the sound of my voice so what could..omg what time of year is this? As she seductively pushed herself onto me and began performing the most sensual actions, quickly, I glanced at the calendar. April?(Sigh) damn, can a pony/siren turned human still get heat cycles. Well she's not letting me go so I suppose so. "Please Mr. Delz, may I...receive you?" Why the fuck are you so adorable all of a sudden?!
"Adagio, Sister, Aria, Married, please remember!"
With a cute little yelp she quickly removed herself and patted herself off. "I'm s-sorry Mr. Delz...I don't know what came over me."
"I got a pretty good idea."
"Could it have been love?"
"You are quite prone to assumptions aren't you? Ever heard of a heat cycle?"
"Yes but that's only in animals right?"
"Technically you are an animal Adagio."
"I suppose that would explain my sudden need. By the way, I...um...felt it....You are quite equipped."
"Uh....thanks. Just do me a favor and never tell anyone that happened."
"Why? Are you afraid people might judge you. Are you afraid you'll get judged by your friends or worse. maybe they'll judge me."
"No no, it's nothing like that. The fact is I'm still married to your sister. She'll most likely cry which will cause the other one to kick my butt."
"Oh...yea. So what are sisters like exactly?"
"You could say they're not what they seemed like the story. Sonata, she's a bit of knucklehead, but she's actually the most considerate of all three of you, at least before you and Aria changed personalities. She was only the first out because she was only one willing to take into consideration, the consequences of her actions. Aria, well she used to be a hardcore punk rock girl. Turns out that was hiding her true colors. A sweet and innocent formal girl who was just tired of being used and taken advantage of."
"I wish I could apologize to them, even though I don't really remember them."
"Well yea, college awaited them."
"What about you, why didn't you go to college with them?"
"Hmmm? Good question, I think I already finished it."
"Really?"
"Yea somewhere around 20 years ago."
"But wait, you look young."
"I'm actually 24."
"Congratula...wait what?"
"I'm 24."
"You're 24 and you finished college 20 years ago....when you were 4 years old?"
"Starswirl's unpatented youth potion had a hand in that."
"That makes makes sense."
We both quickly jumped at the flash of lightning through the window. "Holy crap, it's still coming down."
"And to believe I was out there in that maelstrom."
"I have no idea what the old Adagio was thinking but I'm kinda glad you're ok."
"Kinda?"
"Well you may have tried to come onto me and you may have lost your memory, but I'm still a little scared the old Adagio will come back and, utterly, destroy me."
"Well this is the new and nice Adagio. You can either hang out with me or wait until mean Adagio comes back."
"Better than nothing I guess. Since we're not going anywhere for a while, you hungry?"
"Yes Mr. Delz."
"You can stop with the title, just Delz is fine."
"Oh I'm sorry Mr. Delz."
"You know what, I tried. Now let's see here." It was taking me a considerable amount of time just to plan out a meal seeing as how I only knew how to cook a select few recipes. "This is...."
"Having trouble?" Adagio's voice suddenly came through directly behind me making me jump onto the counter as if I'd seen a spider. As we stared at each other, I nervously coughed and got off. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?"
"Um....no."
"....You wanna talk about it?"
"...No. Can I get back to cooking now?"
"Well I did ask if you were having trouble."
"Kinda, can't find the right combinations."
"Want me to prepare the meal then? I already see a few I can make."
"You can cook?"
"I don't know exactly how but I do know how to cook alot."
Must've learned when she had no other choice. "Be my guest. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask."
"I will Mr. Delz." As she began, I took a moment to lean on the opposite wall and contemplate the situation in it's entirety. It seems that while her some of her memory remains, the majority of that memory is human. Anything she's learned and done as a human remains while her memories of anything having to do with a siren seems to have been forgotten, including her sisters. It also seems that her personality is quite cute, more prone to jumping to assumptions and negative outcomes. It's a relief but also kinda creepy I mean...what if she suddenly remembers everything she's done and goes back to it? This will all be for nothing. "Are you ok Mr. Delz?"
"Hmm?"
"You had your eyes closed, it looked like you were thinking pretty hard."
"Um...haha no, I'm fine trust me."
"Hmm..." With the curiosity of a thousands georges, she stared at me. "You're hiding something aren't you?"
"What? No..."
"You're lying aren't you?"
"I would never...ok it's kinda personal though." I was trying my best to keep my analysis away from her. Obviously she wouldn't take to kindly to me not trusting her, least I think she wouldn't.
"I can respect that. As punishment for lying however," Crap, "You have to tell me which of these spices is for seasoning steak. I kinda forgot this one."
"Wait steak? I don't even have any steak."
"It's strange , I had some in my bag for some reason. I assume that's my bag by the front door anyway."
"Yea it is, I found it when I found you out there, and the spice you want is 2 tablespoons of kosher salt."
"Oh that's what that spice was." Something tells me this is going to be interesting. About 7 minutes later, she yipped for joy like a little schoolgirl before to turning to me. "Close your eyes."
"Um...why exactly?"
"Just do it."
"Alright then."
"And hands off the table." I'm not one to ignore orders so I did just that. What I heard was blur of different things, utensils and plates until finally. "And open."
I popped one eye open to see sitting on my table, a plate with steak, mash potatoes, and, "Are these green beans or....why are they white?"
"I...don't know. I found them in the cabinet with some other questionable candy substances."
"And this would Pinkie's stash I suppose. Word of advice, don't ever digest anything in that cabinet."
"Wait why?"
"Candy gives you a sugar rush. Pinkie's candy....you don't want to know."
So just the steak and mashed potatoes?"
"Pretty much." We thankfully swiped Pinkie's equivalent of drugs off our plate and started eating. The mash potatoes were amazing but what I really was aiming for was the steak. I took the knife and the fork and began cutting off a piece to which she just stared at me from across the table, the hope of her face was unreal. Finally I popped it into my mouth and my eyes lit up like stars. "Are you kidding me?"
"Is it bad, oh no, I gave you food poisoning didn't I?"
"No no, It's actually pretty good."
"R-really?"
"I don't think some of the most famous steak restaurants out there could match this."
"You are sweet you know that?"
"I try. I mean I'm not trying to come on to you or anything."
"You're with my sister, I can respect that. Please let me accept you."
"What was that that?"
"I think the heat is talking again."
"Is it the heat really?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"I mean it is the time of heat for ponies but is that really the case."
"Of course it's heat Mr. Delz. I don't find myself with prior feelings for you so..."
"Perhaps you do, maybe you're just in denial. Dear Celestia, I think I figured it out."
"Please don't do this."
"But I must my dear, your lust is too great and is overpowering me.
"Oh god no. Delz, please, I will buy you another steak just stop before I do something, it's unbearable."
"Such is fate my lady."
I quickly stood up and crossed around the table to stand before her. To which I bent down and began to lean for a kiss. What came next was not expected in the least. I could faintly see her shaking, I don't know whether it was from fear or temptation but I probably shouldn't have pushed the situation seeing as how she was in heat, trust me it's not what you expect. "Nein!" she screamed as she slapped me and began to blush violently. "Du Idiot!"
(You idiot)
"Ow...wait did you just speak german?"
"I think so."
"Not gonna lie....was kinda hot." The look on her face was priceless, a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Uh oh."
As expected she tackled you to the ground and began to slapping even more. "Du Idiot! Du bist vielleicht ein Idiot!"
(You Idiot) (you really are an idiot!)
"Ok I get it, I get it, I was just messing with you, please stop assaulting me in german now."
"Oh no, I'm am so sorry Bitte verzeih mir."
(Please forgive me)
Crap, her accent changed too. "Ok first you're speaking the words, now you're speaking with an accent. Is this gonna be a ongoing thing?"
"Nein, I don't know! Please turn it off!"
"Where did you even learn german?"
"I don't know, Scheisse, I'm still talking like this."
(Shit)
"Well wet and dirty certainly are some descriptive words.....Nein brain, stop it."
"Maybe by the time you wake up, your heat will be gone and that accent will be to."
"Hopefully."
We quickly finished up our food and I escorted her up the stairs. No way I'm sending her back out into the craziness, least not until the storm is over. "We don't really have spare rooms so I'll let you use Sonata's room."
"Um....by myself?"
"Yea what's the issue?"
"Well...I kinda don't like sleeping alone, at least not unless somebody else is in the room."
"Hmm? Where did this sudden rule for yourself come from."
"I don't know really. I just know I'm more comfortable with somebody else there."
"I don't really know if I'm comfortable with this idea but you can sleep in mine and Aria's room."
I showed her to the room and let get herself situated before giving her a rundown of what she might want to do. "I'm sure you're still feeling fatigued from being out there, so if you need it, the shower is right across from here. I got you a change of Aria's usual pajamas in there already so you should be set while I wash what you had on."
"Thank you."
"I'll be up in a few after you're out."
As I began towards the door, I felt arms latched around my waist, Adagio cuddling closely to me it seemed. "Would you take your shower already?" I said in a playful tone.
She giggled then ran off to the bathroom. It's like she's a little kid which is a tiny bit disturbing considering what happened earlier but nonetheless she is different. As I began down the stairs and the shower started, I heard a loud squeal from her. "Delz!"
"Hot water's on the right!"
"Thank you!"
As I continued down the stairs, I switched into my detective mindset. "So she seems to have completely forgotten about her equestrian past. Not a uncommon thing except the strange thing is, while she has forgotten any memory she had as a siren, the things she's learned as a human seemed to remain. It's quite possible that at some point in time she learned german and developed the accent, something of human origin, but can't remember how she learned it thanks to her being a siren at the time. And the cooking, she may have picked that up after things got tough for her, Aria, and Sonata but because it was siren memory, she retains the skills but not memory itself. Question is...is she faking it or not. It seems genuine, I want to believe it."
5 minutes passed and finally the shower stopped. I listened closely for some reason and heard the door open. "Hey Delz, um...where are the towels?"
"Hold up, I'll get you one." I ran upstairs and proceeded to my room where a drawer held all of mine and Aria's towels. We all keep a separate set of towels as to not run out because you have your own towels I would say. I made my way across the way and knocked on the door. "This is yours milady."
"Um...thank you, the formal tag is not really necessary though."
"Sorry."
As I attempted to close the door, I felt the door stick a little. It's quite usual of this door, of course. All you had to was open a little and it would close just fine. My plan was this, open a little then close it, simple right? I began to crack it open just a little and started to close it until it got stuck again and again. I admit, I was becoming a little frustrated knowing full well I'd have to fix this later and continued to try and unjam the door. "Is something wrong Mr. Delz?"
"Yea give me a sec, just gotta unjam the door. "Come on...you piece of......and....crap!" I screamed out as I realized I lost my footing. I bashed into the door with no balance and of course, barged directly into her just about to cover up with towel. Like clockwork, we bumped into each other and fell to the ground. Our eyes met and it was like magic. No not magic as in we had some kind of spark between us, magic as in her hand flew up so fast it had to be magic. "Nein! Was zur Hölle?!" she said as she continuously assaulted me with her palms.
(What the hell)
"I don't know what you said but I'm sorry, the door was stuck and I lost my balance."
"Just go already!"
"Don't have to tell me twice." I quickly rushed out and shut the door which glided smoothly to a close this time. Are you freaking kidding me door!? You had one job and that to was close! After 5 nerve wrecking minutes of waiting, Adagio emerged from the bathroom wearing Aria's usual pajamas, well not really pajamas but something to sleep in which was a shirt that only went down to the top of her stomach and sweats.
"How does Aria sleep in this?"
"I ask her that question every night."
"Do me a favor Mr. Delz and please don't try to peep on me."
"I didn't, the door was stuck and....yes ma'm."
"Oh, did I come off as too harsh, I mean ma'm can be a symbol of respect too, but in this case..."
"Calm down Adagio, you're fine."
"Oh, well I'll see you in the bedroom."
That's definitely one thing I'd never thought I'd hear from anyone else other than Aria. After my shower, I made my way to the room where, of course, Adagio was already sound asleep under the covers facing the wall. Hell, wait for me. We both need some hardcore sleep. I slipped under the covers and made sure to turn away from her as to bring my own morals into consideration. I began to drift off until movement in the bed got my attention. "Hmm?"
I turned my head slightly to check on her, nothing. I began to drift off again until more movement made me turn my head again. Nothing. I returned my head to the pillow until the feeling of her warmth made it obvious the she had her arms latched around me as if we were married. Calm down Delz, you can get through this without cheating on your wife. I began to drift off again, her warmth adding to mix of the lure until her words came as soft as can be. "Hey...Delz?"
"Yea?"
"Thank you....for taking care of me. I know...I was a...jerk."
Wait a minute, does she remember? "What was that Adagio?" No answer. Maybe she's faking it, how else would she remember it so quickly. Maybe that was her talking in her sleep perhaps. Hmm?....I suppose I'll wait it out, see what happens.
I awoke to an unfamiliar set of circumstances, well at least some of them were unfamiliar. 8:00? Too early... After walking out of the room, steam faintly made it's way out of the bathroom indicating a recent shower and the smell of cooking wafted through the house. She must be downstairs which is curious considering how tight she was holding onto me last night. Most uncomfortable night's sleep ever. After getting showered and dressed, I began to treat the morning as normally as possible, yawning as I descended the stairs. Then it hit me. She's in my kitchen...alone. Without warning, I bolted down the stairs and into the living room thinking the worst as I neared the kitchen. "Please don't burn down.......huh?"
"Hmm? Oh, good morning."
"Good morning...I suppose. You're cooking?"
"Uh yes. Why is that so surprising?"
"I just thought...nevermind."
"You thought I was burning down the kitchen didn't you?"
"No....."
"I told I have no memory of what happened between us."
"I know I just..."
"No buts Delz. Now you have to pay the price."
"Oh what now?"
"You have to treat me to a day out with no limits."
"No limits on what exactly?"
"On spending of course."
"How did I know you'd say that?"
"Yay! I'll go get my clothes."
"What do you mean?" It had come to my attention that while our conversation had been going on, I failed to notice the obvious things wrong with this scene. I needed to buy more bacon, I really needed to clean up the kitchen, and the most interesting part, she apparently failed to put on clothes this morning and instead decided to go along with walking around in her underwear. I quickly covered my eyes and took a step back. "Um....yea...clothes are good...to have on."
"I do have clothes on."
"What clothes exactly?"
"Aria's Pajamas."
"I'm going to regret this. Look down Adagio."
"Regret wha..." Her words went silent as she noticed her situation. I peeked, regretfully, through my hand to see her face red and flustered, her fist balled, and her body shaking as she was having a nervous breakdown. I sighed knowing what was coming as she began to speak. "N....n....nein!" she said as she tackled me to the ground.
"Wait Adagio, I know what it looks like but I swear I didn't know." I tried to reason with her but realized she wasn't listening. Instead she was doing something completely unexpected. She was crying, flooding tears into my shirt. "Adagio?...If you want your clothes, I can go get them." She lifted her head, wiped her tears, and looked at them, strangely with a look of curiosity. It's as if she was wondering why she was crying in the first place. After that she ran off upstairs leaving me to wonder what the hell just happened. "What in the world just happened? Why was she crying?" I stood up, trying to frustratingly get the tears of my shirt. "She was so happy a second ago, where did that come from? Should probably go see what's up I say as I talk to myself. Why the hell am I narrating all of a sudden?" I made my way up the stairs taking note of the stream of tears she was leaving behind. I could hear her soft sobs coming from my room, the door firmly shut. "Adagio?"
"Y-yea?"
"Are you ok?"
"I...don't know."
"What do you mean I don't know?"
"I c-can't stop. They won't s-stop coming.
"Well can you atleast let me in?"
"I suppose so."
A few seconds later, the door unlocked allowing me entry. When I entered, she was sitting on the bed continuously wiping her tears away. "What's wrong Adagio? Was it something I did?"
"I r-really d-don't know. I just started crying and can't get it to stop. Scheisse just stop already!" I had an idea, a really weird one, but an idea nonetheless. As she was cursing her tears to stop, I scooted a bit closer. Before she had time to blink, I took her softly in my arms and brought her head to rest upon my chest, course that poofy hair was in face because of it. "I...h-hey they stopped."
"Had a feeling." I'll have to look into it a little more. It's quite odd to see someone suddenly burst into tears. Although, it's also quite odd that the moment I comfort her, she stops. What's she playing at?
"Delz...."
"Uh sorry, i'll let you go now.
"N-nein....I'd like t-to stay h-here.....even if o-only for a l-little while."
"I guess that's ok." The hell am I getting myself into?
I opened my eyes to find myself laid back on the bed, Adagio still resting her head on chest and cuddled up next to me in such a cute fashion. I rubbed my eyes and looked over to the clock. 11:30? Damn, we slept for majority of the morning. I attempted to get up only to have her grip me even more intently. Oh man, at least her and Aria have this in common. I guess it's time to play this game which is, in the simplest terms, making my body like freaking snake and trying to slip out from under her grip. As I began to do so, her groans made me stop in my tracks. I didn't know how close I was to waking her up but my best option would be not to. I tried once more only to have her tighten her grip again. At this point she was a freaking Anaconda. Looks like I'm not going anywhere for a while, that or i'll have to wake her up.
"I...s..."
"Hmm?" She's mumbling something. "Adagio?...um...you up?"
"W...mor..." What's she saying? I tried to rouse her from her sleep with a little shake but felt no response. I sighed and went to lay back down until suddenly I felt water on my shirt again. I held my hand up, assuming that maybe it was raining again and my roof finally was leaking until I looked down and to my surprise, Adagio was drenching my shirt with tears. "I said...I'm...."
"Adagio?"
Suddenly she jumped from a 5 to a 10, and immediately went off. "I said I'm sorry! What more do you want from me?! I didn't mean it, it was stupid! I was stupid...I was so stupid..."
"Hey Adagio wake up, wake up."
"Just leave me alone!" she screamed out as her eyes popped open. She looked around confused and scared, tears still streaming from her eyes. "Wha...what just...why am I?"
That's when she looked directly at me, her confusion and fear turning to complete and utter embarrassment. "H-hey there sleepyhead. So how you doing? Did you get a good night's sleep? I mean the tears would say no but maybe they're tears of joy you know?"
In her shy state, she spouted sounds and gibberish unlike the human brain could comprehend. At this point she was having a nervous breakdown. "I..I...ju...I....don't...."
"There there, don't go crazy on me just yet."
"W-what time is it?"
"About 11:30."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
"About what?"
"I've kept you here for majority of the morning. I apologize if you had any plans today."
"Nah, you're cool believe it or not. I actually don't work until 3:00 PM. We can get up now...just saying."
"Oh sorry." she said as she removed herself from me. We both sat up, stretched and began to make our way back downstairs. "You never mentioned your work. What do you do?"
"I'm an assistant manager at fashionable clothing store called Ray's K."
"And what do they do?"
"Pretty much your average fancy clothing store. From jewelry to dresses, we sell it all."
"So I suppose that means you have fashion sense now?"
Now? "Well I wouldn't say that. I'm pretty lousy when it comes to helping customers pick out clothes yet, somehow, I sell like crazy.
"You seem like you would know a thing or two about girl's fashion actually. You did say you live around a bunch of girls correct? Not to mention one of them is a fashionista from what you told me."
"Yep, that would give the impression wouldn't it? Well I still got about 3 and half hours to kill before I have to go in. I assume you still want to go shopping?"
"Absolutely."
"Well then we're set. Uh.....might wanna fix ourselves first." I said pointing out her rough looking poofball of a hairstyle.
"Bed hair...right."
After promptly fixing ourselves, I grabbed my keys and motioned her outside. The morning dew was still fresh on the grass, a cool breeze gently caressed the world among the blue skies as to appreciate the aftermath of the rain. "What a storm that was yesterday. At least it feels nice out here."
"It's kind of chilly out here."
"Do you need a jacket?"
"No no, like a good kind of chilly. Something you really have to sit and feel flowing around your body."
"You know how to make it sound like heaven." I proceeded to open her door and motioned her inside. "Go ahead, hop in."
"Oh you gentlemen you."
After shutting her door, I hopped in the driver's seat and started the car. "So where to first?"
"Well, first a couple of things. Like for one, a hair salon, and two, a clothing store."
"Every girl's first stop."
"We have to at least try and look our best you know."
I pulled my car out of the driveway and took off down the road. I knew of a few places she would probably like. We pulled into the hair salon's parking lot first taking note of the amount of magenta this place seemed to sport. I sighed know full well i'd be the only guy in there. "A girl's playground for hair."
"We can leave if you want?"
"Oh no, I'll go in if you want to. Just not gonna happy about it."
As we entered, the entire place lit up like a match. I was greeted by dozens of women saying hello. I waved back and laughed. We made our way deeper into this huge salon and continued to observe. "I assume you've been here before?"
"Aria likes getting her hair done here alot. Usually I'm always tagging along for some reason."
"Delz?" A voice asked from behind me.
"Hmm? Oh hey Coco."
It's nice to see you ag...Watch out Delz, it's that evil dazzling leader!"
"Hey hey, calm down Coco. It's not like that anymore."
"W-what do you mean?"
"I mean she's like the other two now. Trying to redeem herself." Then I brought her in close and whispered. "Actually she lost her memory."
"R-really? Well then, I am terribly sorry Ms. Adagio."
"It's ok." Adagio responded. "I don't know what the old me did but it must have been pretty bad."
"I'd....rather not be reminded. So what can we do for you today?"
"I'll just sit here." I decided to chime in.
I sat in the seat directly behind me allowing them to continue their conversation. They talked and talked, laughed then talked some more. Finally, Coco led her to a nearby chair where she began to work. I fell asleep not too long after that until a tap on my leg got my attention. "Delz? Wake up dear."
"Huh? Coco?"
"I finished Adagio's hair and thought that maybe you'd want to see."
"Oh sure." I took a moment to search for her actually excited to how she decided to change herself. I then spotted her by the entrance just sitting on a bench. "Wow....where'd she get the outfit?"
"Silly Delz, Hair styling is only a part of my career. I'm a fashion expert at heart dear so of course the back of this store doubles as a clothing store."
If I had to explain Adagio right now, it would be wow. I made my way over to her to which she smiled. "Well, what do you think?"
"I think I need to lay down."
"Oh stop it."
"It looks really nice. Your hair is less....poofy."
"Well I kinda got tired of having a constant pillow of hair behind me so I had her cut it and straighten it out."
"And the outfit?"
"This one doesn't have spikes on it...except maybe the hairband."
"That would be my reasoning too." I made my way up to the register where Coco was patiently waiting. "Thanks for that Coco. How much do I owe you?"
"About 2,000 dollars."
"Wait what?" I say instantly going into shock.
"Hehe I'm kidding Delz."
"Please don't scare me like that."
"It's only about 120 dollars. 200 for the outfit."
I sighed. "That's still alot."
"Have you seen how big this salon is. It's not gonna run on ten dollars worth of hair styling."
"Good point."
I payed her and waved goodbye. As we made our way back to the car, I noticed that an hour had actually passed in my sleep. "So only two more hours to kill before I have to get ready to head in. Since we solved your clothes issue, for now, you hungry?"
"Extremely. Our little nap earlier kind of ruined the food I cooked...well...burnt."
"I'm gonna miss that bacon."
"I said I was sorry."
"And I understand that. I don't think my bacon will forgive you though."
"I don't blame the bacon. Best place for breakfast than?"
"I know the perfect place." Breakfast means certain foods, those foods can be sweet if you want them to. And I know the perfect place for sweets. I pulled into the driveway of the place in question, the smile on my face painting a look of curiosity on her face. "Well let's go."
"Um...what is this place?"
"Welcome.....to Sugarcube Corner."
"Sugarcube....Corner?"
"If sweets are your inspiration then Sugarcube Corner is your destination."
"I feel like you've been saving that one."
"A little bit." Actually been saving that one for the next time I brought Aria here. Pinkie would probably get a kick out of it too. We both exited the car and made our way over where I opened the door for her. The scent of sweet loving desire filled our nostrils as we slowly stepped inside, pastries as far as the eye could see. "Anything you want is yours milady."
"The formal title really isn't necessary please. Um....everything here looks so good, I don't know what to choose."
"Each one is a different rainbow of sweet pleasure in your mouth so take your time."
As Adagio began looking around at some of the displays of different items, I made my way to see an old friend. "Long time no see Marble."
She looked over to see who was calling her name while carrying a plate of cupcakes for family of 4 behind me. As soon as she saw me however, things took a turn for the worse. "Who said tha...D-Delz?!" she said surprised as she began to lose her balance.
Before the cupcakes could drop to the floor, I rushed to grab them and her before they hit the floor. I caught her in one arm and the 4 cupcakes on the plate with the other hand. "You ok?" She nervously nodded. I stood her up and handed her the plate. "We'll talk after you deliver those."
"R-right..."
Quickly, she went over the table of 4 and apologized for almost dropping them then returned to me, her head lowered and her stance more than shy. "So how ya been?"
"G-good....I didn't mean....for you to be cause of me falling."
"It's ok. I didn't mean to startle you."
"You didn't...It's just that I....um."
"C'mon Marble, we've been friends for a long time now. I think you can stop being shy now."
"I suppose...I can try." She straightened her posture and attempted to speak but only ended up stuttering like a crazy person. "I-I'm s-sorry."
"You're a funny girl you know that. Just be more careful next with the plate next time."
"I'm not r-really good at this yet."
"3 years working here and you're good at it yet. Maybe," I said as I brushed her hair aside. "If you let people see both your beautiful eyes, you wouldn't fall so much."
An immediate blush came to her face as she covered it with hands. "U-um...thank y-you."
Yea it's no secret that she has a crush on me. May not seem like it now but it's pretty obvious to those who have seen these signs before. Pinkie brought her and Limestone over to meet Aria and Sonata one day and somehow, I ended up getting stuck keeping them company until everyone got back from getting party supplies. Limestone hated me at that moment in time but Marble was a different story. From what I heard, she was really shy, but for some reason had no issue getting close to me. There was some potential there but now that I'm married to Aria, the option is gone. You know that saying that says once you're taken, everyone wants a piece of you. That applies to me alot more than you think. I'm sure Sonata and Sugarcoat still want me, Sunny definitely won't give up, and Limestone as of now, is a....different story. And now life has decided to add Adagio to that mix. Lucky me. "So where's Limestone?"
"S-she's in the back baking."
"Oh, well I guess I'll talk to her later."
"Hey Delz, I've decided." Adagio's voice called from a few feet away.
"Oh that reminds me....Marble what are you doing?" you said as Marble was glued to your side with fear in her eyes.
"T-t-that's the S-siren...the one who's still evil."
"Hey hey, calm down Marble. She's not evil anymore."
"W-what do you mean?"
"I mean she's a little....different. As in she kinda lost her memory." I said in a whisper.
"A-are you sure that's still s-safe. I mean w-what if she turns on y-you...and you know..."
"I really doubt that will happen."
Adagio made her way over to me with a few skips. Apparently the sweet fumes were getting to her head and make her Pinkified, so much so that I swear she was pink for a second, that could just be me though. "I had no idea they could make Cupcakes with caramel. It's certainly a unusual topping."
"The Pie family can make just about anything sweet at this point."
"Excuse me but who's that shy thing behind you?"
"Oh her? Come on Marble, introduce yourself."
She was hesitant at first, trying hard to stay behind but eventually sighed and revealed herself. "H-hello.......M-my name i-is Marble Pie."
"Well hello there. I'm Adagio Dazzle, it's nice to meet you." she said extending a hand. Marble jumped back at this initially but then extended her own to meet Adagio's. "Any particular reason you're shaking dear?"
"W-well it's j-just....you know that y-you're a siren and.....I-I...um..."
"I honestly still don't know what a siren is. Apparently I was one and tried to do something with it."
"So you d-don't r-remember the school?"
"School?"
"Canterlot high? T-the place y-you and y-your sisters tried to take o-over?"
"Wasn't that the school you were telling me about Delz?" I nodded. "Oh my. Then with my new attitude, I must formally apologize for whatever trouble I caused in my past."
"R-really?"
"Is that ok?"
"I don't believe her." another voice suddenly trailed in. I looked over to see Limestone standing there, a look of anger as usual on her face. "She's obviously feeding us one big lie."
Adagio sighed and cleared her throat. "Look, I don't know what kind of trouble I caused in the past, but even if I did, it sounds like it's been quite a while since it happened. Time can be a wondrous thing allowing one to forgive and forget, but it can also be harsh, seeping deeper the events of the past. So no matter what happened in the past, I'd like to find a way for everyone to forgive me." Tears began welling up in her eyes as she continued. "I want to make up for those I hurt, those I humiliated, as my sisters have. I regret my actions, the monsters we became, the people we tried to control for our own gain. No one deserved what we did to them, especially the Rainbooms. And the way I treated my sisters, I was lost and scared without that purpose but now I know. I am truly sorry for what I did. If I could ask anything of you, it would be forgiveness...please..."
Everyone was shocked, even the family of 4 sitting behind us were left frozen in their tracks. Something's off. She spoke as though she knew the circumstances. Such emotion and understanding...perhaps... "Well," Limestone began. "If you can give a speech like that and mean it then I can accept it."
"Me too." Marble chimed in.
"Thank you." she said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"So you guys looking to order something?" Limestone asked.
"We are. Actually this is my first time here."
"First time huh? Marble, you know what we have to do?"
"Of course." she answered.
They suddenly made their way into the back where I can only assume they started baking. Adagio looked back at me and motioned to the back with curiosity. "I have no idea either."
10 minutes passed and Marble finally motioned us back. We both looked at each other with confusion and proceeded to the back. Upon entering, we noticed four pink cupcakes on a counter. Limestone quickly put an arm around Adagio and guided her over with me in tow. "It's time."
Adagio chuckled nervously. "Time for what might I ask?"
"A quick little welcome to the family. We made Sunset and your two sisters do it and so, it's like tradition now." Limestone motioned everyone to pick up a cupcake and we did so. "This is Pinkie's patented special cupcake. The moment you take a bite of this, you're one of us." Oh no... "We would have done shots but we're working right now so this'll have to do. You guys ready?" Everyone nodded except me. "3."
"Wait Limestone, I don't know if I can..."
"2."
"Limestone please, there are other ways to initiate someone."
"And go..." See the thing about Pinkie's special cupcakes is...We all took a bite and immediately grabbed any form of water to wash it down. "Oh god.....I hate doing that so much......"
"Then why...did you make it a ritual Lime?"
"It seemed like a fun thing at the time."
The thing about Pinkie's cupcakes is that she packs so much sugar into them that you're hardly able to eat them without coughing it back up. "You ok Adagio?"
"I think I need a salad...like 15 of them."
"Trust me I'm buying. We'll see you guys later Lime, Marble."
They both waved although disoriented as we walked out of the back and out the front door. "I never thought a day would come where I actually hate sugar."
"Thank Pinkie for that. Well that only killed about 20 so we still got time."
"Yay, where to next?"
"Well there's this nice park with a lake near here."
"Sounds interesting."
"Well it's not just that, I need to talk to you." She looked at me as if she already knew what I was referring to then just hopped in the car.
Author's Note
Clop Warning
Promise and Past
We sat down on a bench in front of the lake. Fortunately, I chose a place that aided in clearing up the atmosphere. The sound of birds chirping, kids playing with smiles on their faces, the beautiful water glistening in the sun among the morning dew. Makes asking this question alot easier. Of course it's not a life or death question or some declaration of love, it's just...We both looked at each other, the realization finally setting in as was presented by the nervousness on her face. "Well?"
"You already know the question don't you?"
"Of course I do. Just ask it already."
"You remember don't you?"
"Pretty much."
"Well when did you get it back?"
"This morning. Call it dumb luck or a coincidence but I just woke up and it was like someone turned on a light. Instant memory or whatever."
"So why keep it a secret?"
"I don't know." she said harshly. "I....enjoyed it I guess."
"Enjoyed what?"
"You ask alot of questions you know that."
"I'm just curious is all."
"Curious is annoying at this point."
"You decided to keep up the charade as long as you did, so you should've expected questions."
"I suppose you're right sadly. I meant everything I said back there."
"Really? You don't sound so sorry."
"Don't push it."
"You put me through this, I'm probably gonna."
She growled at this comment as she massaged her temples. "Fine...can we just go somewhere less....public."
"I mean we can go back home I guess."
"Thank you."
Within seconds, we were in the car, and within minutes, we were back in the house on the couch. "Alright, we're home and out of sight."
"I'm getting there ok. About a couple of days after I kicked Aria out, I got evicted. Don't say a word, I know. After I got evicted, I tried to bum around with some people I met...they hated me. Tried to talk to the school...they hated me too, even Celestia, the nicest freaking principal in town."
"So if you couldn't find a home then how did you survive all that time?"
"Found way....rather not talk about it."
"I can...respect that I suppose. What about you outside my house."
"That's a fuzzy memory. I remember.....um....stalking you guys just a little."
"Creepy."
"Don't even. It started raining then everything's gone from there."
"Well ok that explains what you've been up to."
"Are you happy?"
"I'm more concerned than anything. You said you meant everything you said back at Sugarcube Corner right? Why didn't you just come up to the door and apologize?"
"I....it...." She sighed. "I swear if you laugh at any point, i will hurt you...I just....seeing how everyone hated me and getting evicted...it hit something ok. I began to realize that....maybe I made a mistake...back in Equestria, this might have been second nature to me but here, things are different. I knew that, Sonata and Aria knew that. They realized way before I did, I was just blind. I knew I had to come to you or my sisters..."
"But your pride got in the way?"
"You couldn't have waited until I said it?"
"I'm sorry I was just jumping to the point."
"Yes, my pride.....my stupid pride." she said, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't expect you to pity me. As a siren, I got everything I wanted no questions asked. I didn't know what it was like to be homeless, hungry, cold...never knowing how I would survive the next night or get through the next day....I was and am pitiful."
"You're not pitiful...you're just lost."
"Oh goody, more of your ancient wisdom. Please make me me understand like you did my sisters."
I don't know what happened, could have been the moment, could have been her sarcastic tone, but something snapped, deep deep down. She was trying hard to make me pity her but I knew. The usual talk wasn't gonna work on her, she was expecting me to give her some kind of speech on how she just needs to get her act together and I still plan on doing just that, just not the way she expects. "So what, you think it's that easy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think I'm dumb. Are those tears even real?"
"I'm crying aren't I?"
"No you're not. What you're doing is fishing for pity. You think you can get that glorious redeemable speech out of me and all will fine, don't you? Do you even really feel sorry for what you did?"
"What's with y-you all of a sudden?!"
"I don't think you do. You think this is a game Adagio? Is this some kind of joke to you? I hear the sarcasm in your voice. I redeem you and everything will ok huh?"
"Don't y-you t-trust me Du Idiot!"
"I would've if you actually meant anything you said earlier! Answer the question Adagio, do you really feel sorry for what you did?!"
"I do, I told you!"
"Then what's convincing me huh?! When I see those tears, I don't see emotion, I see a plan in motion!"
"Shut up you jerk!"
"Then show me you mean it Adagio."
"I don't know how! You think i'm good at these kinds of things!"
"I know you have it in you under all that hate and revenge!"
"Shut up!"
"Are you Adagio, the girl I almost fell in love with, or are a Siren?!"
We both stopped in our tracks, the silence settling in between what I just said. I now realize that what was supposed to be a wholehearted motivation speech was now an act of confession. "Y-you..."
"I didn't mean to..." You sighed and sat down next to her. "That was...my feelings getting in the way....I'm sorry."
"I never knew you...actually..."
"....The girl I saw these last day was happy, sometimes shy, sometimes outgoing, so cute and nice...this was the old Adagio. The Adagio I dated back in Equestria, the Adagio I wanted to call mine. It brought back alot of feelings."
She sighed wiping tears from her eyes and sniffling. "You were that stallion back in Equestria weren't you, before I went to Canterlot?"
"Yep."
"F-four years was it? How d-did I never notice?"
"I guess I was a bit shy back then, I never thought I was worthy."
"Worthy....tell me...what made you.....love me?"
"Everything...You were a nice pony, loving, caring, a little mischievous but not afraid to stand up for yourself. More importantly, you cared more for your sisters than yourself. It was admirable but also an idolizing quality. I never had siblings so it was interesting to someone who had qualities I never grew up with. Sonata and Aria brought to my attention who I really got that from. It was after you returned from Canterlot that those qualities were sudden non-existent. You treated your sisters like trash and never treated anyone fairly, even me. What happened?"
"I...can't tell you. I don't know myself. I walked in...and walked out with a new perspective. A week passed when it only felt like 5 minutes and suddenly....I felt something thirsting for power and authority."
"You may have come in contact with something that influenced your actions more than you could. But that's over, you are no longer in Equestria Adagio. Whatever happened now has no control over you. So I want to know, do you feel bad for what you did?"
".....I do. I think back to what I did and it makes me wanna cry and throw up at the same time. Everyone's lifeless faces as we controlled them...the looks of anger and sadness a-as we turned them against each other for my own gain. T-the way I t-treated m-my sisters...I regret it all..." she said as tears once again began pouring from her. "I w-want to t-take it all back, I w-wished it never happened...Now everyone h-hates me..."
"No. Everyone does not hate you...I don't hate you, the Rainbooms don't hate you, they're more confused than anything. They don't know what evil lays in wait in Equestria. Whatever it was wanted to ruin your life, it wanted you to get banished here and I hate it for that. You may blame it for your mistakes, but now it's your mission to make up for them."
She slightly smiled, slowly letting her tears dry up. "S-see...you d-did you give a speech."
"At least it was for a real reason now."
"C-can I a-ask you s-something?"
"Sure."
"D-do...you still l-love me?"
"Honestly...I always have. I knew you just needed a little push in right direction which unfortunately was a long time coming. But..."
"Aria...I know. But I can't...just give up...not after all this."
"I know..."
We both looked at each other, that metaphorical spark forming between us. "You know...I'm willing to keep a secret if you are." she said placing her hand on my chest and assuming a crawling position only inches from me, a mischievous smile on her face.
"And I'd rather her not find out please."
"Oh what's the big deal Delz. You told me yourself, they'll be gone until the holidays, and the next one isn't for a while."
"Well...um...I'd like avoid it if possible. You know, girls having the detecting super power that somehow allows them to figure things out."
"Delz....please...I'm already so horny...I'm not stopping."
"You can not say word to anmmmff..."
And before I knew she passionately kissing me, her's and my arms wrapped softly around each other as we engaged in our soft makeout session. We broke our kiss before she immediately dived back into it. The sugar from our earlier cupcake overdose fed into making me much more into it. Her lips were now as sweet as candy, so soft and engaging. We pulled away and retired to staring into each other's eyes. Her's were a beautiful Pink...or Magenta, I've never been good with these things, the point is, they were like jewels, sparkling as the low light hit them. "Delz...you're beautiful."
"Stop making this weird."
"Then we should take this upstairs shouldn't we?"
"Yes mam."
"Hey hold up, won't you be late for work?"
"You're the one who said you're horny didn't you? Screw it, I'll be late one day."
"You're willing to give up your hours just to please me. What a dedicated boy." I carried to her, bridal style, to the my room and shut the door. We continued our make out there as our clothes fell void of our bodies to the floor. Within a minute, we were down to our underwear. "Kissing is great hon but if you want a better deal," she said as she traced a figure down her body around the lace panties and bra.
Not one to ignore an invitation. I placed my hands at her sides and began to caress her, slowly gliding my hands to admire her form. "Someone stays fit."
"Well...the boys aren't gonna fall for a chubby girl all the time...I'm not proud of it."
"I kinda am."
"That's your other head talking there dear."
"I suppose it is."
I continued to feel her, growing ever the more impatient as I caressed her curves. I slowly made my way back up her perky C cups hidden by a lace bra. "Aria sure is naughty when she wants to be. She really owns lace?"
"Sonata is all I'll say."
"No more that needs to be said. Please continue to explore me hon." I began to feel around her breast, a small twitch soliciting me to continue with my actions. I rubbed slowly then quickly and gently squeezed them. "I'm not too...small am I?" she said with a blush.
"Are you getting shy?"
"N-no."
"Dear Celestia, you're actually getting flustered, that is so unlike you."
Suddenly, she unclipped her bra and let it sit loose on her breast. "S-shut up and keep going." I removed the bra and began to caress and grope her with more detail. She moaned in shallow breaths as I explored her sensual form. Rubbing, then groping, a little pinch on the nipple here, a little lick on the other there. "Delz...Delz..." I must really be testing her patience here, why not test the limit. I let one hand continue to distract her up top while my other slipped down in her slowly until it made contact with her lower region. She twitched and let out a moan like no other. "Delz what're you...mmm!" She moaned under her breath as I began gently massage her clit. As she was lost in pleasure, I took my time moving down, eventually making it down to her opening where circular motions certainly got the most out of her. She began twitching like a spaz, her body betraying her as each motion I made seemed to make her body move again and again. "Delz....I...I...don't k-know if I...c-can.....aahh....mmm...." And work the combo. Without warning, I made my way inside the lace panties and continued to massage her opening while still playing with her breast. "I....I h-had the...upper hand....H-how did this...s-switch?"
"Thing about me Adagio is, I've had alot of practice over these last few years."
"I c-can t-tell ahh!" she screamed as I placed one finger inside. "Please....so..close..."
"Aww, I wanted to tease you a little more."
"I...will...literally d-die from pleasure if you do."
"Alright fine." I switched from one to two fingers and began to drill her with them. "I know you're close Adagio. Come on, you can let it out."
"Y-you're...making it...worse aaah....."
"I know."
I sped up the process and at this point, it was obvious she was close. I made my mission to quickly remove my fingers and replace it with my tongue. It would only last a few seconds but I started the motions, the alphabet, shapes, whatever worked. "Delz!....Delz!....I'm.....Nein!.....Aaaaaahhhh......" Moment of truth. "Oh dear Celestia Yes! Ahhhhh!" And so came forth the fluids of pleasure, the juices flowing out of here as I removed my mouth and replaced my fingers as to solicit ever last drop from her. Her body was shaking like sexual seizure and her moans only continued every time she contracted her muscles around my fingers. She stalled, almost lifeless, on the bed, breathing heavily like she ran a marathon. "I...don't...know...what to...think...I...never knew...you were so...good at...that."
"I've been told."
"You...ran me...dry hon. Might...be...minute...before I can...return the favor."
"Well that's positive motivation." I said as I lay beside her.
A minute passed and hard on did not fade, crazy huh? She took a few deep breaths making sure she could breath correctly before sitting up. "I suppose I can make the adventure now. Ready hon?"
"Hey Adagio?...Are you sure we should be doing this?"
"Second thought?"
"Well...it's just that it feels like i'm betraying Aria by doing this."
"I get what you mean. I got the same feeling, I mean she's my sister and here I am ready to commit to fucking her man. It feels wrong I know. But I want you now," she says laying next to me. "Our connection may not be as strong as yours and Aria's but we do have one. I want this...I really do but if you don't feel up to it, i'll leave right now. I'd rather not stand in the way of you two."
"Adagio...I want this too. There is no justifying this, it's basically an affair, but I feel if we can get this out of the way, then we'll be free to live our lives. And If I have to explain this to Aria, then I will have no regrets. She's probably going to beat me till to the sun sets but I think we can make her understand.
"Good reasoning dear. You ready?"
"Give me your best shot."
She slid down my body, her hands caressing me as she finally reached my region. She proceeded to feel my length from outside my underwear, the fabric rubbing me in the most teasing way possible. "Now it's my turn to tease you." She went to such lengths as to make me wish she would just pull it out it's prison. Rubbing, groping, stroking, even to the point of rubbing her cheek against it, yea that's not hard to resist. Finally, she took her hands and hooked the edges of my teasing prison, slowly pulling them down until they were all the way off. "And how are you my perfect baby?"
"Are...you talking to it?"
"You're like the perfect size too. Not too big, not too small."
"Wouldn't that count as average."
"Oh no no. The average I've seen isn't like this."
"I think...you're over exaggerating."
"Is that so?" You dropped to the base of my dick and began to run her tongue up it all the way to the length where she took the tip and began circling it with her tongue. She removed it with devious smack to which I pleasurably grunted. "What's wrong doggy, cat got your tongue?"
"Oh dear Celestia..." She returned her mouth to the tip, dropping down to just below it before giving a mischievous smile and the most devilish giggle i've ever heard. She then bobbed her head up and down with instant rhythm. "Oh geez...you're mouth is like magic."
Which I though would be the highlight until her tongue came back into play. She continued to bob up and down taking it a bit deeper as she did so. Suddenly her tongue began to circle me again, a combo of extreme effectiveness. I, myself, started to twitch just a little knowing what little time I had before she would eventually make me lose it. Just then I began to feel her try and use her small breast to massage my shaft. She released her oral grip on me as to focus on making her titjob as effective as possible which worked. Those beautiful mounds massaged me like two small pillows, her nipples tickling me for every ounce of patience I had. "This feel good little doggy?"
"I think I'm gonna die."
"Better die happy then." she said as she replaced her mouth. A combination of both her cute perky breasts and her mouth drove me insane and finally it was time. I could feel it rushing up from within. She took one final action all the way to the base as I released. I feel her tongue work around me as I came, and with one faint gulp, she removed herself. "Dead yet?"
"N-no...don't think I'm gonna w-work again for a few minutes t-though."
"Oh goody, the main event." she proceeded to follow my earlier actions and lay next to me, allowing me to catch my breath and return my body to full strength within the next minute that passed. "So Delz...still feeling doubts."
"Of course. I just ask myself....If we do this...what if we like it...what If I don't feel the same about her after this."
"I can't say I know the answer to that. It's going to hard to accept this as something we can just shrug off. I know, you know it."
"And yet we're still going through it?"
"I guess my reason would be...it's in the moment. A lot of lost feelings I haven't had in awhile came out in the time we've been together...If I didn't do this, I don't know If I'd be ok just as friends. Eventually I would end up betraying my sister if it meant getting you. I know I sound like the bitch I was before."
"No no, you're not far off from the truth. It's more in the moment than anything. We can't just push off these feelings like they're common everyday things. They had to go somewhere. I suppose this was it."
"Even so, we'll never live it down, even if Aria doesn't find out."
"I suppose that'll be another reason we'll always be connected, a crappy and loathsome reason but a reason nonetheless." I said as I grabbed out of a stand drawer next to the bed."
"It really is a dumb reason hehe."
"Adagio...I love you and always will but you understand that I'm with Aria now. This will not mean something like it ever would."
"I know...but I love you and deep down it will, at least to the past me."
We looked at each other and pulled each other in for one of the last passionate kisses we would share in the next coming moments, kisses meant for a time long behind us now. We both knew what this would signify, the start and end of a once blooming relationship. "Are you ready?" she nodded and rolled onto her stomach, spreading her legs to show off her shimmering entrance and welcoming ass. I slipped on the condom and proceeded to position myself with her pussy. "This is it."
"Make it count hon." I slowly slipped inside, the tip quickly disappearing inside. It was warm and tight as if begging for me as I continued to go deeper. Quick but carefully, I found my way all the way in slowly beginning to thrust. "Mm....mm....ah...ah." she let out every time I returned my base to her entrance, in and out. "A little faster Delz."
I obliged, speeding up to meet her demands. The sounds of us both panting a little were faint and my arms were already getting tired from holding myself over her but this had to happen, I don't know why, but it had to. The warm sensation around my length only intensified as she began to grow in pleasure, her walls hugging me every time I went in. I began to speed up and apply a bit more force with my thrusts. Soon enough the room began to fill with the soft slaps of this forbidden encounter and even sooner, both our moans began to overlap. Without error, she flipped over, her legs now supported over my shoulders as I continued my momentum. "Ah....ah....Adagio..."
"Ah....ah....Delz..." I began to make the final push, the soft slaps increasing in volume to echo throughout the room and our moans to fill the entire house. "Delz!....Ah....mm...Ah!" At this point, we were in too deep to stop, every thrust felt like it was going to be my last.
"A-Adagio....I...can't...."
"Ah!...haah!....mmm! Just....Let it out hon! D-do it!" I found myself on the edge, A few more seconds and that would be it. Adagio suddenly leaned in and wrapped her arms around me in one last kiss to remember as we both felt our climax. Moments later, we broke the kiss, sweaty, out of breath and out of energy. It was done, the deed that was meant to seal our love, and yet as I dream, I still dream about Aria, my thoughts still swirl around her as if a highschool crush. Now I know that my actions have not caused what I feared nor have they caused hers to spring to the surface. We woke up about 4 hours later, I know crazy time to sleep but believe it or not, that took alot out of us. I tried to sit up only to see Adagio cutely wrapped around me. I shook her, her groggy moans springing her to life. "Delz...."
"Well hello kitty."
"Just because I called you doggy doesn't mean that nickname applies to me." she said as she sat up and stretched.
"I think it suits you."
"Be quiet. Are you late?"
"By like 2 hours. Sunny's gonna chew me out when I get back."
"Just tell her you got sick from the rain or something?"
"That could work, why didn't I think of that?"
"Because sometimes you're just that clu...."
"Yes I know, clueless dog, I get it?"
"D-D-D-Del...."
"What's wrong?" She was frozen, stiff like a board, eyes as small as dots and breaths shallow like she just died. "Adagio?"
The she held it up, the problem that never came to mind. Here we are wondering if our past love will ultimately ruin mine and Aria's relationship, come to find out that wasn't even close to what just happened. Aria will never find out...if she doesn't test positive.
The Future of said Promise
A few weeks later
I paced back and forth like the most anxious person on earth, the bathroom the center of attention. It feels as if i've been hit with tons of anxiety these last few weeks and for good reason. Finally, Adagio emerged, a mix of fear and sadness on her face. "Well?"
She sighed covering her eyes in anger as she held it up. The words on it proved to put my newly acquired anxiety to the test as I read it letter by letter. P...o...s...i...t...i...v...e. "What the fuck are we going to do Delz?"
I sat down on the floor as if a broken prisoner, my head directed at the floor. She took the fetal position next to me, resting her head on my shoulder. "We're screwed...There's no way we're getting out of this."
"I could just leave and never come back."
"You know I don't want that. You're family now Adagio."
"But the baby will come eventually, she'll figure it out."
"Can't just hide a baby either."
We both sighed knowing the only option was to tell her sisters. "If it's worth anything, I don't regret it."
"I don't either Adagio. It's something that was a long time coming. What a great help that'll be though when Aria's ripping my head off."
"Hehe, don't worry. If she tries it, I'll at least try to stop her. Most likely get my head ripped off in the process though."
"At least that means she cares."
"Hehe, we're gonna die."
"In the worst fashion possible, yes we will."
3 months later
Time had passed, the weather was obviously getting colder and we as soon to be parents were obviously getting worried, especially today. We had been doing our best to let our lives remain as normal as possible. Of course, the morning sickness wasn't helping our cause. We also used this time to really catch up and establish our long lost friendship. I would take her out to restaurants, the park, and various places around town just so we could talk and reminisce. I already introduced her to the few people she hasn't met like Danny and Sunny. Because Danny is my best friend, I mentioned our current fuck up of utter emotion to which he proceeded to call me stupid and give me a lecture for the first time. Sunny didn't take it well either not for the same reasons as Danny However. She was was very specific in her reason, saying that she should have been the one to get knocked up, not Adagio. That was the only fun part of this day. When we arrived home, we both sighed and fell exhausted and fearful on the couch. "That was an interesting time out."
"Well it was your idea to meet and greet everyone now wasn't it?"
"I thought it would be a good idea since you're apart of the family now."
"Yea but did you really have to tell people about our baby making issue?"
"It was only the people I trusted the most. Danny has been my friend since we were little so his reaction was a bit expected. He only lectured me because he cares."
"And what about that Sunny girl. She seemed pretty pissed."
"Don't even worry about her, She's kind of a hopeless romantic turned sexual."
"I could tell." Adagio then stood up and stretched backwards. Her belly out in front of her as she did so, that's when I noticed. "What are you staring at?"
"Um...stretch again and look down..."
"Ok but what does that have to do with any....." As she looked down she caught sight of another number in the equation of issues we have. "Are you fucking me? I'm showing now. No no baby, please don't get bigger." she said as she poked at the tiny bump softly. There's no way it can get bigger right?" I sighed making her groan in frustration. "We have two months to come up with the most bullshit but believable story ever."
"I think I need to throw up." I said as I rushed to bathroom. After doing said disgusting action, I looked in the mirror after splashing a little bit of water on my face. "What the hell are we gonna do? There's no way out of this. I knocked up a girl that wasn't my wife and now i'm paying the consequences both mentally and soon, physically.....Two months....that should be enough time...I hope."
"Delz, are you ok?"
"Fine, just dying internally."
"Well could you hurry up, think I'm gonna start dying internally here pretty soon.....as in morning sickness is kicking in again....as in any second."
"Crap!" I said as I quickly opened the door. She rushed to the toilet and knelt as I held her hair back. Within seconds, she was going at it. I lightly patted her on the back for comfort. "That's right....let it out....get it all out Dagi."
"When will this end?..." she said before continuing to throw up a little.
"I have no idea. The website said it could last until the end of the first trimester or the entire pregnancy."
"You have got....ooooh....to be kidding me."
"It'll be fine Dagi, just get it all out." I said rubbing her back for comfort. Eventually she finished her barfing session and was met with relief from the nausea for the first time in a couple of hours. "Better?"
"Finally I can stand up straight again. What now?"
"Now, we're going to sit on that couch and brainstorm how to avoid to this shitstorm coming our way." And sit we did for an hour everyday for 2 months. It was like we were trying to figure out how to rob a bank or something, we were so dedicated."
About 2 months later
The snow sat beautifully on the ground, a white wonderland for those to behold among the chilling atmosphere. The snow still fell as a flurry of of white reducing visibility to near zero. It's as if we you were in the tundra, a white wasteland of nothing but snow and ice for miles. Outside, it was playground of the cold, Inside....well. "Holy crap we are so screwed!" I screamed as I paced around frantically.
"Have we seriously been sitting here doing nothing day by day?!"
"No way, of course we've been doing something. There was watching TV!"
"And going out to hang out. Don't forget the make out sessions too!"
"Which I refuse to do anymore!"
"Why?"
"Because kissing leads to the reason this issue is here and the last thing I want to do is turn your tummy into an X-rated bouncy house. Look we're missing the point!"
"Can we at least stop shouting first?"
"I don't know if I can! I just wanted rekindle our friendship and this happened, Aria's gonna kill me and we're both gonna be dead and alone!"
"Delz hon, calm down."
"I just wanted to do good in the world!"
"You're really exaggerating dear, please calm down."
"I'm Spiraling, I'm spiraling!"
Suddenly I felt a slap to my face, hard enough to send me a step back. "Would you get it under control. Getting hysterical isn't helping."
"Sorry sorry, I deserved and needed that."
"Good. Now, they said they'll be home tonight and there's no way we're gonna be able to play off this bump of mine by then. Our only option is too put together a plan to tell her in the most light hearted way possible."
"Actually, I think it might be best to just sit her down, with or without everyone doesn't matter, and just tell her what happened. A plan would make it seem more incriminating than what it actually was versus just outright telling the truth."
"I...perhaps that makes sense. Might actually end up avoiding the brunt of the storm that way."
"Well, that's our plan then."
"I suppose it is...I never...meant for it to get this far."
"Hmm?"
"I just wanted somebody there again. Somebody to warm up my soul and make me feel like family again. You were the first person to come to mind. But now...we have a baby on the way."
"And I blame myself for that."
"Wait why? It's my fault for showing up again, I should've just left you alone."
"Don't go doubting your past now Adagio. I'm glad you showed up. Since then, It always felt like something was missing from my life. I don't regret our actions at all. I do however, regret going a little hard on you. Because of that, the condom broke and we're parents."
"I can accept that. At least you can take all the blame right?"
"Oh no no, we're in this together."
"Damn."
"....You know, maybe you put me under your spell. Maybe I was never in control of my actions."
She then looked at me with the most annoyed death stare and raised her hand. I assumed she was going to slap me for that one until a wide smile came across her face. "Du idiot." she said jokingly, punching me in the arm.
"I was kidding obviously. We're still doing the german thing?"
"Well actually, before we made our home in this city, we stayed in a place where german just so happened to be one of the main languages aside from english. I guess I just liked the way it sounded."
"I wonder why."
"Well...this is a bit embarrassing...I was still a Siren back then, so I dated alot. I met this girl named Asuka Langley, and she had the most beautiful if not cutest, voice to accompany her german accent. I guess I just picked it up after hanging out with her for some time."
"So you're into girls too?"
"Only slightly. I prefer men but if a girl catches my eye, I won't hesitate to take that chance."
"Maybe you can seduce Aria not to kill us."
"She's my sister, that would be weird."
"Good point. Guess the truth plan holds up."
"So question?"
"What's up?"
"How do you really feel about this baby?"
"I feel...excited yet...scared. There's no telling what Aria will do and I heavily doubt I'm ready to be a father just yet."
"Don't go doubting yourself Delz. The man I loved before and love now is more than ready to be a father. You're unselfish, considerate, always looking out for others. If the baby has half those traits, it'll be perfect."
"Yea but what about the annoying parts. I don't know how change a diaper Adagio, those things can stink."
"Hehe, you'll learn I'm sure."
Suddenly, a text interrupted our conversation. Upon picking it up, I sighed, responded, and placed it back down. "That was Aria. They just landed and will be home in 30."
"Any last words?"
"Nothing I haven't already said."
"Me too."
30 minutes later
We watched carefully outside the window, waiting fearfully for their arrival. Finally, 2 sets of car lights parked in the driveway and we both looked at each other. "Ready Adagio?"
"I guess, can't say I'm excited about it though."
A knock on the door got our attention as we both took a breath and released it. I put my hand on the doorknob and turned it, ready to face whatever was about to happen. As soon as I did, I was tackled by the ten girls desperately missing me. It was nice to have them all here again, especially Aria. Wasn't until they all stood up laughing and joking that they finally noticed who was standing a few feet behind me. Adagio waved with a nervous laugh as they all stared at her. Sonata took the lead with Aria right behind her as they approached her. "A-Adagio? Like what are you doing here?"
"We haven't seen you in more than 3 years." Aria added.
"Listen you two, I wanted....to say sorry for acting like a total diva and just so you know, this isn't some kind of cliche sorry speech. I've been thinking...staying and talking with Delz these last 4 or 5 months. He's made me see how much of a bitch I was to you guys, to all of you. I was in a dark place and couldn't pull myself out. I don't like to do all this mushy emotional stuff so no one laugh.....I'm just trying to say sorry or whatever. I regret trying to enslave everyone and would like to make up for it or something."
Everyone stared at her as she looked away with a blush. Suddenly Sonata shot into a hug. "Oh Dagi, that's all I needed to here."
Then suddenly Rainbow was right next to her with words of acceptance, then Rarity, then everyone except Pinkie who couldn't seem to find her way near Adagio. Eventually, the gears turned in her head and she crawled into the group. It was like everything was in slow motion, as I saw Pinkie latch her arms around Adagio's waist and begin to place her head on her tummy. Son of a... Pinkie paused then moved her head away in curiosity before placing it back. She then jumped up with excitement breaking apart the group hug. "I have great news everyone."
"Pinkie not yet!" I yelled out but it was too late.
"Adagio has a bun in the oven, oh my gosh oh my gosh!"
Everyone stood up smiling but surprised. "Is it true dear, are you really pregnant?" Rarity asked.
Adagio nodded. "Well come sit down, we need all the details." Rainbow happily chimed in.
Everyone began making their way to the living room as Adagio looked at me. I nodded, Her face showing a look of concern but she understood and nodded back. She sat down in between everyone as they rapid fired question after question. Eventually Twilight came to the question of how far along she was. "I'd like to study this if you don't mind so please tell me, I can hardly hold my pen still."
"Um...well...I've been...."
"Are you ok?" Sunset said placing a hand on shoulder.
"I'm...uh....about 4 or 5 months along."
Aria seemed happy for her sister, until Sonata seemed to be putting 2 and 2 together. "Wait a minute, didn't you say you moved in 4 or 5 months ago?"
"Y-yea."
"So you must have gotten knocked up right before you and the lucky guy moved in right?"
"That's....a possibility."
"Then can we invite daddy to the christmas party, I'm sure he's crazy about meeting us."
"Um...sure. I'll give you his number." She then proceeded to give Sonata the digits to that mysterious man's number. Too bad every number in that number belongs to none other than...Suddenly my phone rang and everyone looked behind them to hear the ringtone coming from me. Everyone's shocked faces already knew what had transpired over the last 5 months. That's when Adagio looked at me with a nervous smile, eyes shut tight and sweating beginning to form on her. "Don't answer the phone, maybe they haven't noticed." she whispered in a comedic fashion.
"Delz?..." Sonata angrily asked before standing up.
"Um...yea."
"Please tell me that you and the father know each other and you're just holding his phone for him."
"I definitely am holding the father's phone alright hehe....we're....uh...gonna need time to explain."
"I'm...waiting." she said as she squeezed her phone, so much that you could hear the sound of the case cracking."
"Well do me a favor and don't break your phone first of all, that cost alot of money. And second, just sit down and let me and Adagio explain."
We made sure to move everyone to the opposite side of the door so that we had running chance if things got out of hand and began, Adagio starting off. "Well as you guys know, maybe not the Rainbooms, me and Delz did a little dating back in the day when we were in Equestria. We dated for a while then things changed. I got all evil and crazy and we just kind of fell apart."
"Soon we all found our way into the human world and built upon what we could figure out here."
"I stayed crazy."
"And I just lived, that's when I met Fluttershy and everyone else. That was for those of you who didn't know that, now off to what happened these last 5 months. I was doing my usual thing after you guys left. Working and such, then it began to rain like crazy. Eventually I would come to find Adagio out there unconsious with a nasty hit on her head. I took her inside and made sure she was ok. When she woke up, she had lost her memory and things just continued from there. I gave her as normal a day I could, even taking her to Sugarcube Corner as a result."
"That's when I got my memory back. Afterwards we returned back here, and I began to explain what the hell happened to me both mentally and physically over the course of those years. We talked and turns out...we had some feelings buried pretty deep."
"We both never truly never got over our weird separation and that emotional moment was all it took for us to bring up those feelings of lost love all over again. Don't get me wrong, I don't love her like that anymore, the feeling is gone. How we got rid of that of feeling though...is what brought along this little guy."
"We were in the moment, our feelings skyrocketed, and we couldn't help ourselves. We...had sex and condom broke."
We both closed our eyes and waited for the onslaught until the prolonged silence got our attention, then Sonata and Aria suddenly broke out laughing. "That sounds like quite the adventure." Aria stated.
We both looked at each other, confusion setting in and tensions suddenly lowered. "Wait what?" I quickly but nervously asked.
"You guys are like kidding right?" Sonata began. "Why are you making such a big deal out of something like this?"
"But...we...like passionately.....I basically had an affair."
"With our sister, why is it an issue?"
"You can't be serious...I mean....it's....it's your sister, shouldn't that make it worse than just any other woman."
Aria laughed then gasped. "Oh Adagio, you never told him did you?"
"Told him what?" she said with horror on her face.
"Oh my, you must have forgotten too it seems. Sonata if you would."
"We like share everything."
I stood up and looked at all three of them, my newborn anxiety setting in. "Share?"
"Yep. From toys when we were little, to boys when we teens."
Aria continued to smile as she stood up and hugged me. "Had it been anyone else, I would've undoubtedly ended your life. But it seems we forgot to mention that we Sirens are sisters at heart, born together with a sisterly connection unlike any other. We share just about everything, that includes you. Why do you suppose I haven't done anything to Sonata yet dear?"
"So....we were never in any trouble....at all."
"Nope." Sonata happily responded.
"I can't believe I forgot all about that, sorry Delz." Adagio added.
I looked at the Rainbooms but they just shrugged and gave me a confused look. "He...hehe...he....and...going down." I said as I began tip backwards towards the floor. And just like that, everything went black. In that moment of darkness, I realized one thing. I have now have anxiety which is so much fun let me tell you. I'm kidding. I awoke to dark room, the ceiling obviously belonging to my room. As I tried to rub my head, I realized that one side of me was Sonata, on the other was Adagio, and using me a literal body pillow was Aria. Crazy right, that was until I realized that the ten other girls were somehow someway in my room sleeping as well. How the hell did they fit 11 girls in room only meant for 2 people, I will never know. But I suppose it was nice to have them all here again...just like old times.
The end?
Wait a minute, do I basically have a fucking harem?
Author's Note
First of all, I did the research on pregnancy and tried to match this situation up to what normal pregnancy is like. Course I've never seen anyone go through it so if the symptoms and stuff is little off, don't kill me.
Two, if you got the anime reference in there, good on you. (Hint: search the name that Adagio mentions)
Three, I suppose that leaving this story alone for a while, it kind of lost popularity. It's not over though, I plan on continuing this until the very end....of the next story at least. The baby grows up and asks of their original home, Equestria. I guess you can see where this is going right?
