Reborn

“Ohohohohoh!” Sonata called out loudly, earning the attentions of her sisters as the trio sat around lazily in the living room of the house. “The book is vibratin’!”

“We can see that ourselves, numbnuts.” Aria snapped as Adagio reached out and grabbed the book that the trio had just spent the last hour watching intently, not making a sound, save for when Aria or Adagio shut Sonata up with a quick, guttural noise. “Hey! What the hell, Dagi!? I was gonna-”

“She is heading to the Sister’s old castle, apparently the Elements of Harmony are kept there to suppress something of Discord’s…” the lead siren dictated as her eyes scrawled across the scripture slowly appearing on the paper, giving a small chuckle when she recited the name of the ancient spirit of Chaos. “Ha, Discord… I guess he had some tricks left over from before he was turned to stone. Anyways they are going to try and finally purify the corruption from Sunset…”

“Tell her best of luck!” Sonata yelled, scrambling across the floor towards Adagio on her knees, looking up at her matriarchal sister intently. “Tell her I’m gonna have tacos ready for when she gets back!”

“Dear god, not tacos again…!” Aria groaned as she leaned back against her chesterfield. “Of all the foods in this entire goddamn world for you to fall in love with!”

“It’s better than having steak all the time!” was the cyan Siren’s response, sticking her tongue out at her brutish sister.

“Enough, you two.” Adagio quelled the escalating squabble with a firm command, shutting the journal after writing a quick response to their newest sister. “Now, Sonata, I believe you had a question that you wanted to ask of us, but you needed to wait for Sunset to leave, correct?”

“Oh! O-Oh…!” Sonata sat back on the floor, removing her arms from Adagio’s legs and wrapping them around herself. “U-Um… Right, uh…”

“Spit it out already, Sonny.” Aria barked from her seat, earning a quick glare from Adagio.

“E-E-Everytime I looked at Sunset, a-a-after she said we were sisters again I mean, I get this feeling… D-Down in my tummy…” Sonata laid her hands across her firm abdomen, hidden comfortably under her magenta top. Unbeknownst to her, since her eyes were glued on her “tummy”, the faces of Adagio and Aria erupted into abnormal expressions, Aria’s face becoming host to an uncharacteristically adorable blush, while Adagio’s face shifted to one of being completely lost. “An-An-And in the car- on the way back, I… I couldn’t stop holding her hand, or wanting to brush her hair out of her face, and… Um… Are you two alright?”

“Sonata…” Adagio said softly, shattering the pregnant pause as she looked between her other two sisters uneasily. “Are you sure that’s what you feel?”

A quick nod from the ponytail’d Siren.

“Do you know what it is, Adagio!?” the bubbly Siren was starting to become distraught, worry weaving its way across her face as she started to sit up straighter in a panic. “Is-Is-Is-Is something wrong with me!?”

“Yup, its cancer.” Aria said, looking away and chortling uncontrollably as she slammed one of the arms of her chair in rapid beats.

“Aria!” Adagio shouted unintentionally loud as Sonata burst into tears, babbling incoherently at her crude sister’s remark. “Sonata, please calm down. Aria was joking, in as poor of taste as usual I will add.”

“Then wh-what’s wrong with me?” Sonata sobbed, hiccuping as she wiped away her sudden stream of tears. Adagio’s face grew thin as she looked away for a moment, taking a breath as she looked over at Aria, grimacing warningly towards the purple Siren, before looking down at Sonata once again.

“I think… that you are in love with our dear sister.”

…

The room was silent.

…

Adagio and Aria blinked slowly in unison as Sonata sat there, staring up at Adagio.

…

“Well of course I love Sunshim, silly!” Sonata burst out laughing, rolling around on her back as she clutched at her ribs. “She’s our sister, you goofs!”

The other two Sirens shared looks, Aria laughing quietly as Adagio wiped a hand down her face.

“I meant that you love love her, Sonata.” Adagio said, silencing and stilling Sonata.

“What, like… sleep with her, love her?” Sonata asked from on her back, her ponytail splayed out around her like a halo of hair.

“Oh, Celestia, is this rich!” Aria shot up to her feet, nearly doubling over in laughter. “Sunset hasn’t even been back with us for a day, and you want to take her out back and give her a ruddy good seein’ too!”

“Coming from the virgin.” Adagio smirked from her chair, her smile showing that she knew she had already won the upcoming battle as Aria froze, turning to look at her leader in frenzied shock.

“The FUCK are you goin’ on about, Adagio!?” the crass Siren bellowed, crossing her arms defensively. “I am not a fuckin’ virgin, you cunt!”

“Oh, Aria, when will you learn that I can see through your lies.” Adagio crossed one leg across her knee, steepling her fingers as she grinned menacingly at Aria, like a spider with fresh prey in its web.

“Oh? Pray, do tell me, oh supposedly omniscient one.”

“Whenever you tell a massive lie, such as right now, the ring finger on your left hand starts spasming uncontrollably.” the poofy haired Siren nodded towards her compatriot, the purple skinned girl shaking her head.

“Really now? Well I’ll have you know that…” Aria started off hot, but once she brought her left hand in front of her face and noticed the mentioned finger spasming her bravado was lost, her blush deepening as her secret came out. “Ya well- I know you aren’t any different, Adagio! I know for a fact that you’ve never done the deed yourself!”

“W-What!?” Adagio’s composure slipped for a fraction of a moment as Aria unexpectedly returned fire upon her, her stony visage of predatoriness slipping for a fragment of a second of a second, and Aria took notice. “I have too do-”

“I saw that look, Adagio!” Aria pointed out, literally, as she started to laugh even louder. “I guess all those people you took back to your room over the years got the knockout treatment, huh?”

“I could say the same about you, you loose lipped temptress!” Adagio shot back, jumping up to her feet and storming towards her sister, the pair literally bumping heads as they glowered at one another.

“So neither of you two know what I should do then?” Sonata asked, cluing the two fuming Equestrians back into the real world, the pair looking over at Sonata in confusion. “And here I thought I was the weird one for never having sex with any of the humans…”

“How could you be interested like that in food though?” Aria asked, backing away with a small huff before dropping back down onto her ancient chesterfield. “Like, maybe you can, Sonny, when it comes to tacos, but these Humans?”

“It is true that over the years I’ve never quite found one that would be a proper… fit, shall we say…” Adagio added as she reclined back into her bergère. “The inhabitants of this world are quick to anger and fight, their practices barbaric, especially in the early days when they would try to swoon us.”

“Are you kidding me? It was awesome whenever the dudes would beat the shit out of one another for our affections.” Aria chuckled, before nodding over to Sonata. “And I don’t think we need to bring up the stuff that seems to happen whenever she turns someone down.”

“The question, though, is why now?” the room grew silent at Adagio’s question, all three lost on what to say, the over six thousand year old beings once again encountering something new.

“I mean, you all remember Valentine’s day, right?” Aria asked suddenly, leaning up from her seated position. “We kinda made her black out when we pointed out the different points that people- or ponies- would find attractive with her, remember?”

“Well, I mean… I still do love her personality…” Sonata pointed out simply. “Even though she’s been so depressed, and had such a hard time, she still is able to be so positive, and kind, and always looks out for others before herself…”

“And I think most people on this planet would give their left nut to see her clothesless, even for a minute…” added Aria in her usual crude manner, her eyes going blank momentarily.

“Plus she is amongst the most intelligent mortals that we have ever met.” Adagio nodded, before continuing. “Maybe there is more to this, but for now we must try and assist Sonata with this situation, as if we tell her outright, things may be incredibly awkward.”

“There’s no saying that she would accept though…” Sonata added glumly, a tear coming to her eye. “And I don’t know if I could live with her saying no…”

“Well… I could find out if she’s into girl’s if ya want.” Aria shrugged, surprising Sonata with her offer to help. “I mean, she’d answer me if I asked, and I’d be the least likely to get confused looks from her.”

“So… What…? You just walk up to her and ask her what her sexual orientation is?” Adagio chuckled at the absurdity of the plan.

“Sure, why not.” Sonata giggled into her hand. “I guess I can wait.”

Adagio let out a sigh as she buried her face into her palm.
