The Invitation

Sonata Dusk sighed as she waited outside Appleloosa High School. This was the eighth time in a thousand years that she’d been to school, though this time was different than the other times. She didn't have her magic or her sisters. While she wanted to finish getting caught up on the new stuff they’d been teaching after the 70’s, like apparently Ven Grow or whatever that artist name was didn't cut off his own ear and that Pluto wasn't actually a planet. Adagio and Aria were still too upset after what happened at Canterlot High to even pretend to enjoy school, even for Sonata's sake, so they stayed home to avoid people.

Sonata did have some good stuff without her sisters. For instance, she watched as her boyfriend spoke to another student. If she remembered right the other guy’s name was Bareback or something. Her boyfriend, Strum Rhythm, wasn't like Adagio or Aria, always making fun of her or making her feel bad always calling her the worst or never letting her do anything because they think she'd just screw up. In fact, that was the biggest reason why she loved him.

Well that and because he was great at tying her up.

“What was that about Strummy?” Sonata asked as she kissed her boyfriend’s cheek. It was no secret Bumburn didn't like her for some reason (something about Sonata knowing his cousin or something) and when Strum started dating her, the country boy spent less time with her boyfriend too.

“Well, Braeburn just told me about a club he knows with… like minded people,” he said, wiggling his eyebrows, causing the siren to blush. “I was thinking we could go check it out tonight. If you’re able to, my little song.”

She shivered in excitement at the pet name as she smirked back.

“Yes master,” she whispered loud enough for only him to hear. “B-but I have to go home first. You know, let my sisters know I'll be out and stuff,” she quickly added, rubbing the back of her head. Strum just laughed then pressed his lips against her cheek.

“So, is this a ride home day or a walking day?” he asked.

Sonata took a moment to think. “Would I be punished more for walking today?” she asked playfully.

“Maybe~. Then again, you might get punished for other things anyways, little miss taco-thief,” he stated matter of factly, causing the blue-haired girl to gasp. She was about to reply when her phone vibrated, making the pair frown.

“Adagio or Aria?” he asked with a sigh.

Sonata unlocked her screen.

“Get home now!” -Aria

Sonata sighed. “It's Aria. I guess it ‘is’ a ride day,” Sonata said as she held his hand. “You weren't thinking of going straight there, right?”

“Sweetie, we don't need to go today if you can't,” Strum consoled, holding her close.

“No, I want to go, I just hate dealing with Aria,” Sonata nuzzled into his chest for comfort as she tried to convince herself to go. “Whatever it is, I'll try to make it short. Then you and I can get some food and go to this place,” she encouraged, pulling him to his car, a classic Colt 93 painted green. Once the duo entered the car, Strum smiled as he started the car.

“Just imagine this. You and I in a nice room, silk ropes binding your body as I kiss your neck,” Strum said. His breath washed over her ear as he leaned close to say that before nibblingnibbleing on her ear, the siren moaning in response.

“Unless you have the ability to freeze time, you gotta stop teasing me,” she whined, crossing her legs. Strum stopped his kisses as he began to pull out. “And unless you want those neighbors to hear, I better have a gag,” she stated matter of factly. For the last three minutes of their trip the two talked about the latest episode of “My Adventurer Scholastic”, until they pulled up to her home, a brown Victorian house with a large tree in the front.

“Text me when you're free,” he said with a kiss before she walked away from his car. He watched her walk along the path to her house, until she opened the door.
As she opened it, she heard someone in the kitchen, smoke wafting toward her as well. Sonata followed the smoke and sounds to find Aria messing with ingredients, mixing them inside a large pot.

“Good, you’re here,” Aria said, actually less than happy to have Sonata before her. “Drink this,” Aria ordered as she passed a mug of liquid before her. Sonata gave it a sniff then gagged.

“What is it? It smells like a sweaty manticore armpit,” Sonata asked as she pulled away from the offending sludge.

“It's supposed to give us our powers back. Now, shut the fuck up and drink it,” Aria yelled as Adagio entered the room.

“Give it up Aria. We need to get our magic back with magic, and since those goodie goodies have all the magic in this world, we might as well give up,” Adagio stated as she went to the refrigerator. “We lost and we're stuck here.” This seemed to piss off the purple haired siren.

“Give up?! Like hell I will!” she screamed at Adagio. She then turned from Adagio to Sonata, pointing toward the mug. “Now drink the fucking potion!”

Sonata looked uncomfortable between the two but picked up the mug and took a drink. The foul liquid burned her throat as it tasted far worse than it smelled, causing Sonata to cough.

“Well, did it work?” Aria asked as Adagio also looked.

Sonata gulped as she took a deep breath. At first, Sonata was able to sing beautifully.

“I was fine, with the men. Who would come into your life now and again~” A smile grew on her face as Adagio and Aria were both dumbfounded. Sonata, excitedly decided to skip to the chorus of the song. “It's over, isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it ohVer.” She covered her mouth at the voice break, looking between the other two, Aria getting angry while Adagio merely shook her head, leaving the room.

“What? But-it- damn it! What did you do, you idiot!” Aria screamed, getting in Sonata’s face. The siren backed away as Aria threw a fit. “Just get out!” she said as she walked over to the pot she was cooking in.

Sonata ran upstairs to her room, locking her door and lying on her bed, crying into a pillow. Sonata wished she could just move out and live with her boyfriend but how could she tell Strum Rhythm the truth? How could she tell him she was a 3000-year-old siren who tried to take over this world and her home world of talking magical ponies? Along with sounding insane it could drive him away.

Sonata entertained a naughty thought. What if she still had her powers? If she did, she could just order him to just ignore that fact. She then sighed and turned over, letting the thought consume her, brining a memory to the surface…

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Sonata was alone as she grabbed the sports equipment from the last period of P.E. since the school day had ended someone needed to get the field ready for the football team's practice, and today she drew the short straw.
She didn't change out of her P.E. uniform yet since that would make her regular clothes smelly too, a point she proved to herself as she wiped her brow with her shirt.

“Hey. You!” a southern voice called out. Sonata looked up to see Strum’s friend walking over, a look of angry purpose etched on his face.

“Oh, hi… You.” Sonata said weakly, not remembering the name of her new boyfriend’s friend. The blonde merely crossed his arms as he studied the girl. “Um, is there anything I can help you with?” Sonata questioned, trying to continue with her chore.

“I want to know what your plannin’ wiv’ my best friend, Siren.” He stated matter of factly, surprising the blue haired Siren to the point she lost a grip on the cones in her hands.

“How- I mean, I don't know what your talking about.” Sonata bent down as she spoke, both to pick up the fallen cones and to avoid his eyes as she began to freak out.

“My cousin told me what you did at Canterlot High. I sent her a picture of ya'll and she warned me abou’ your voice who-do and I want you to fix whatever it was you did to him.” Sonata stopped as she listened to his demands, her eyes on the ground as he got closer. “Strum's been through enough already without some freaky magic monster tryin’ to use him to take over the world. I won't let another two faced, no good hussy-”

Braeburn was pushed to the ground as Strum Rhythm was now standing above the two.

“What the hell Brae?” The tone in Strum's voice wasn't his normal calm tone but one of frustration and irritation. Sonata looked up to the two as the cowboy fixed his hat.

“Strum she's plannin’ somethin’ awful and I just don't want you to get hurt.” Braeburn replied, pointing at Sonata. Said Siren stayed where she was, resigning herself to losing the brand new relationship and being once again alone in this school as her head turned back to the equipment on the ground.

“You don't have proof, Brae!” Sonata's head shot to look over at the now angry Strum Rhythm. “You told me your cousin said there were three of them and they acted in three days. Dude it's been one month and she's alone, if she was was gonna do something, she'd of done it.” Sonata was dumbfounded by Strum's defense of her. This was his best friend and he was defending her? It had only been a few days since they started dating.

“Strum, you gotta trust me one this, that girl is gonna get ya hurt again.” Braeburn warned, glaring at Sonata. Strum saw this and stepped in the way.

“And I'm telling you, I don't think so. So I'm asking you, as my friend, please trust me.” Strum turned to the shocked Sonata. “She isn't going to to hurt me.” Braeburn looked at the two then gave a defeated sigh.

“Strum, I do trust ya, but not her. I'm not sayin’ I ain't gonna hang out with ya’ no more, but I won't when your wiv’ her.” Braeburn said, pointing at Sonata. The cowboy then walked away, leaving the couple alone. Strum turned to Sonata, the Siren already on her way to hold him, tears in her eyes.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make your friend… Why did you do that? Why didn't you just let him yell at me?” Sonata didn't understand why he would defend her from his friend, after all, he knew him longer than her. Sonata felt a reassuring kiss on her forehead.

“You don't deserve that.” Sonata met her boyfriend’s eyes, feeling only support and love behind them. “Hey, how about I help you take this stuff in and then we go out for pizza?” He asked, rubbing her back. Sonata was crying even more as she broke the hug.

“Y-yeah, sure.” Sonata stood still for a moment, feeling both very fragile, yet also safe. “Strum? Thank you. No one's ever done that for me before.” She hated admitting that. Adagio and Aria would have been so angry to hear her thank a human so helping her, but she didn't care. She loved how she felt with him.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

As she worked through the thoughts and memories she quickly found an hour had passed, regret growing from how long she focused on the dark thought and especially after the memory, because that wasn't how she wanted her boyfriend. With that in mind, she sat up then sent Strum a text.

“Strummy, I can go now. Can you get here fast?”

Sonata didn't have to wait long before she got a reply.

“Almost done helping mom, give me 15 or 20 minutes.”-Strum

Sonata put the phone down and began to strip, changing into something special.

The last time she had worn this outfit she and the other sirens had lost their powers. She paused halfway through and decided to change it up, switching out her fingerless gloves for her spiked bracelets while also wearing her pink and maroon striped tights. Sonata looked at the last two items on her vanity. She decided not to tie her hair up then she picked up her collar.

Before when she wore this, it was to fulfill a voyeuristic need since it would commonly be mistaken as a mere choker. Now however, she put it on slowly, because it was no longer a fashion statement, but a symbol. It was to show that her master owned her.

Sonata walked out of her room and rushed down the stairs, trying her best to avoid her sisters. She froze as Adagio left the living room, glaring at Sonata before marching upstairs. She ran out of the house before Aria could see her, knowing if she had she would berate Sonata for wearing that outfit. She turned to see Strum’s car and ran to it.

“Woah, Sonata, everything okay?” he asked as she took in a few breaths. She gave him a thumbs up as she took in a few more breaths.

“Sorry baby. I'm just really excited to head out to this club. What did you say it was called again?” she asked, taking hold of his hand as he pulled her in. Once she was inside he pulled a card out of his pocket with a smirk.

“It's called the Clocktower Society.”

Faces and Stories of The Past

Sonata and Strum parked his car at the curb near where the card said this club was. It seemed to be a hole in the wall type of place in the shopping district. Something in the air felt familiar to Sonata...really familiar. As they got closer to the source, the feeling grew inside of Sonata: her cheeks became flushed and her core was set ablaze, her mind filling with the need to rip off Strum Rhythm’s clothes. She started to kiss Strum's neck as they continued to walk.

"Are you alright Sonata?" he chuckled giving her an amused look. Sonata stared into his amethyst eyes as she laughed in a dazed state, her mind heading to when the two had met.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Sonata Dusk sighed in the empty classroom. It used to be that she, Adagio, and Aria would be in the choir class for one day and rule the school for four years, everyone at their beck and call while leaving anarchy in their wake. Now, two weeks since they'd lost their magic, things were different.

Thanks to boredom one hundred years ago, Sonata learned how to play the piano. She still made mistakes every now and then, but that's only because she stopped for fifty years. Now that she was alone, the music was comforting. At least she didn't lose that part of the music.

Sonata stopped playing in the small room, stepping out to the main choir room she walked over to the back wall. While being in the soundproof room would've been ideal, you're not allowed in the room unless your playing on the piano.

"Good thing I have headphones," Sonata chirped as she pulled out her wired earbuds. She slide her back down the wall as she placed them in her ears. The best part in Sonata's opinion about the choir room was people left you alone if you didn't speak to them. Sonata smiled as she lowered her volume and turned on a bondage video.

Sonata watched as the actress was bound in tape, a pair of socks stuffed inside her mouth before three strips were applied to keep the socks inside. Sonata closed her eyes and imagined herself in the woman's place, her master teasing her as one hand squeezed her breast.

He told her about her new life as his slave: if he let her go out, she would wear latex underwear underneath her regular clothes. Otherwise she'd only be allowed to wear skimpy latex costumes, locked in a torturous pair of stilettos. The best or worse part, would be where he places the keys to her restraints. They would be so close that she could reach them, yet as he assure her, she would be unable to do so.

Sonata felt someone shake her shoulder, taking out of her fantasy. Standing above her was bronze skinned boy with two toned brown shaggy hair, mischievous amethyst eyes looking down at her. He wore well fitted black jeans and a aquamarine shirt, a patch sewn on his left sleeve depicting a guitar pick styled metronome.

"Hey perv, lunch is over," he stated in a joking tone. He then waved goodbye as he left the room, leaving a blushing and horrified Sonata with people filing in for class.

For the next week, anytime Sonata Dusk saw him, the boy would give her a knowing smirk. She waited for someone else to mock her or teachers to threaten taking away her phone but none came. As the next Friday came, Sonata confronted him after school at his car.

"Hey you, what's your deal?" she asked in a haughty tone as he was about to enter his car.

"What do you mean, Perv?" he asked with a smile, looking amused at the attitude she was giving him.

"You know what I mean." She pouted, wagging her finger, "It's been a week and nothing has happened. Someone only keeps stuff quiet when they want something. So what is you want huh?" she asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Well," he sighed, looking up for a moment. "There's this pretty girl with blue hair I've been trying to figure out. Maybe you could help me?" he asked sweetly.

"Who’s that?" Sonata asked as she scratched the top of her head.

"You. I haven't told anyone because I like you," he told her, nodding his head. Sonata thought for a moment.

"So if I go out with you, you won't tell anyone?" Sonata asked with a smile. "Deal." The boy was taken back by the quick answer.

"Just like that? You don't even know my name," he said, his vigor from earlier now lost.

"Well, do you know my name?" she asked with a smirk, crossing her arms. He blushed, scratching his nose.

"You're Sonata Dusk. A friend of mine said you transferred from Canterlot High a month ago. I'm Strum Rhythm." Looking away, "I also know we're into the same stuff, I mean not exactly the same I think." Sonata looked around with a blush then leaned forward.

"Can we have this talk in your car?" she asked him He pressed a button on his keys as the other doors unlocked, allowing her to get into the car.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

That was three months ago. Since then they hadn’t been able to do everything Sonata had imagined, but they had done a lot. Sonata almost tripped as Strum stopped in the alley between The Big Wig Warehouse and Checkmate Game Shop

"This can't be right" he said as he stepped toward the wall at the end of the alley. "The address has to be here, but there’s no building, just the alley, and just a wall." he said with a frown as he pointed it out to Sonata.

The wall was decorated with a beautiful scenery of a forest with a golden arch in the middle. While Strum was rereading the card (and cursing Braeburn's name) Sonata looked closer at the archway, drawn to it. The image was a gold frame with six jewels on the top inside a pink gem carved like a flame. The sides however had writing on them, writing that shouldn't be in this world.

"Strummy, let me see the card," she asked, her hand stretching behind her to get the card. Strum gave his girlfriend an odd look she couldn't see, then placed it in her hand. Sonata smiled, turning it over, seeing a missing piece of the picture on the back. Holding it up, she peered at the image on the wall.

"Sonata, my little song... What are you doing?" Strum asked as she just stood there with the card on the wall. Sonata shook her head then laughed.

"Wait a second, I need to touch the gate. Duh, Strummy," she stated before placing the card on the drawn archway. The moment the card touched the gold paint the jewels atop the gate started to glow. The bricks in the middle of the arch began popping off the wall and sliding away. In a matter of seconds a doorway formed for Sonata and the shocked Strum Rhythm to step through.

"Wha-huh?! Did... But... The bricks moved!" Strum muttered while Sonata clapped her hands.

"Now that is a neat gateway," she said cheerily, looking back to Strum. "It's like that story with the kid that turns out to be a wizard." Strum looked between her and the opening.

"How did you know to do that? Was that, I mean I heard the rumors but was that magic?" He asked her as he hesitantly touched the cleared out portion of the wall. Sonata was amused at his surprise, kissing his cheek.

"Come on Strummy, adventure awaits," Sonata said as she entered the doorway.

"That didn't answer my question," Strum shouted as he ran after her, into the hole.

The wall closed behind them, leaving them in darkness for a moment while their eyes adjusted. When the moment passed, Sonata and Strum could see they were standing on a dimly lit platform large enough for groups to come and go while also being small enough that only three or four people could idle comfortably.

"Wow, this place is huge," Sonata commented sarcastically as the two looked around at the crystals emitting light. Strum looked back at where they entered, then to the stairs.

"Well, I guess there's nowhere else to go but down," Strum stated, eliciting a groan from the siren.

"I was promised I'd have some bondage fun. You never said anything about stairs," Sonata moaned as she gave Strum Rhythm a pout.

"Well, consider this punishment for stealing my tacos. Again." Strum replied as he began to walk down the stairs.

"I wanted sexy punishment!" Sonata whined as she followed him down the stairs. The duo walked for three minutes down the stairs to another landing, a kiosk standing to the right of the stairs with a box sitting on top.

"Please place your card in the box," a bell like voice rang down from the ceiling. Strum looked at Sonata who shrugged then did as the voice asked, placing the small card in the box and closing the lid. "Thank you and welcome Strum Rhythm. Please take your medallion and guest pass."

Strum opened the box again to find a bronze disc about the size of a golf ball on a chain. The surface had a stylized C on the left side and a S on the right. In the middle of the C, a topaz had been placed, making the disk pop. Next to it was a smaller pin with of the same color with the phrase Guest of Strum Rhythm on it.

"A representative will be waiting for you in the main cavern. Welcome to The Clocktower Society," the melodic voice called to the two.

"Hey, how come I don't get a medal?" Sonata asked.

"I guess Braeburn didn't tell them about you," Strum guessed as he looked down at more stairs leading into a cave.

"More stairs?" Sonata asked, her shoulders visibly sagging. Strum Rhythm shook his head then picked up Sonata in a bridal carry.

"Don't worry, my little song you won't have to walk down anymore evil stairs," Strum Rhythm informed her with a smile. Sonata was about to kiss his cheek when the two suddenly found themselves at the bottom of the stairs, a small tingle in their bodies. "...Literally," Strum said in surprise as he set her down.

The two looked at each other then forward, finding the Clocktower representative looking shocked. She had gold skin and her long hair was like a Sunset of red and gold, aquamarine eyes were filled with shock as looked Sonata.

"You?" the representative asked as she looked between the two. Sonata was nervous as she looked at the representative.

"Oh... Hey, Sunset Shimmer. You’re a member?" Sonata asked, getting out of Strum Rhythm’s arms.

"I run it," Sunset said flatly, glaring at the siren. "Along with the other girls. What are you doing here?" she asked with a growl.

"She's with me. I'm Braeburn's friend, Strum Rhythm," Strum said as he held Sonata's shoulder comfortingly. Sonata rested her head against his hand as she looked at Sunset Shimmer. "I'm guessing your from Canterlot High?" Strum asked, causing Sonata to begin sweating bullets.

"She told you what happened?" Sunset asked in a skeptical tone as she watched the uncomfortable siren.

"No. Anytime I bring it up, she changes the subject," he answered while Sunset Shimmer looked at Sonata.

"Are you going to tell him? Or should I?" Sunset asked Sonata, and the siren began to cry, imagining the worst was about to happen as she shook her head.

"I'll do it. I should have done it two months ago." Sonata said to Sunset, turning around to Strum. "It's a long story, but I need to start at the beginning. Adagio, Aria and I were at a diner outside of town..."

Ten Minutes Later...

By the time Sonata finished, six other girls had joined Sunset Shimmer, listening to Sonata's version of the Battle of The Bands, the siren looking as if she would shatter on the spot.

"I didn't know how to tell you without sounding crazy. I did want to tell you though, but I was just scared I'd lose you,." Sonata begged as Strum looked deep in thought looking at Sonata then to the six girls. "Strummy, say something! Please!" Sonata whimpered.

"So, you never once used magic in our relationship, right?" Strum asked, Sonata shook her head in response muttering, “Don’t have any anymore”. "So, everything I've felt has been real." This caused the siren to nod her head. "Then nothing has really changed," he stated simply, giving Sonata a smile.

"Aww," three of the girls watching exclaimed, holding their hearts while Sonata jumped into Strum's arms.

"Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. Can I remind you guys that she's a siren?! Are we really just gonna be okay with this?" the rainbow haired girl of the seven asked, looking at her friends.

"Come on Dashie," the curly pink haired girl began, "it’s pretty obvious she's changed. Plus I'm not getting a Pinkie-sense that she's lying."

The girl in the glasses raised her hand to interject. "Why don't we just vote? That way it'll be fair?"

"Twilight's right, there are seven of us so it can’t end in a tie," Sunset stated. "I vote we let Sonata join," she added, giving a smile to the couple.

"I vote we don't," the rainbow maned girl announced. "No offense and all but how do we know this isn't a trick?" she asked while looking at the girls.

"I agree with Rainbow Dash," the blonde said with a southern accent. "For all we know this could be some trap. I gotta vote no."

"Your concerns are valid, Applejack, but that display of affections has touched me. I simply must vote yes," the purple haired girl said.

"Umm... I can see that you both really do care for each other, and maybe you are trying to change... But...I vote no too. Sorry," the shyest one of the group said.

"I'm with Rarity on this one and vote yes!" the pink haired girl said energetically.

"So Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and I vote yes while, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy vote no." Sunset turned to Twilight, "You’re the deciding vote Twi."

The bookish girl fidgeted in place with all eyes on her.

"I get where the others are coming from, but I think if the princess me was here she'd say we should give her a chance like you were given. Especially if we want to be an inclusive club. So I vote yes that we let Sonata join," Twilight stated, looking between the girls then to Strum and Sonata.

"That's four to three. Sonata, welcome to the Clocktower Society," Sunset Shimmer declared with a warm smile.

"Just keep your nose clean, ‘cause we'll be watching," Rainbow Dash added, standing behind Sunset.

"So we're members now?" Sonata asked excited.

"In a way," Sunset stated, “but only probationary members. Like the branch in Equestria we do need to get you both tested for sexual diseases and do a background check. Well, a background check for Strum at least. After that, you both need to take safety classes for at least a week. Once you pass all that, you make your collar and mask and then you’re full members." Hearing this Sonata moaned.

"Why?!? All I wanted was to get tied up," Sonata said, getting a blush from Applejack and Fluttershy while electing a laugh from Rainbow Dash.

"Don't worry Darling, you may not get tied up tonight, but you can watch… maybe even get some ideas." Rarity cooed as she looked to Sunset Shimmer. "Dashie and I can conduct their tour while you get Sonata's medal, Sunset."

"Thanks girls. Strum, Sonata, I'll see you after your tour." Sunset and the others walked away as Sunset and Twilight walked to the admin room.

Sonata and Strum followed Rarity and Rainbow to the center of the cavern where a pink heart shaped flame burned.

"It can't be," Sonata gasped as she took a step toward the display. "That's the Flame of Devotion. One of the strongest sources of magic there is," Sonata said in awe as she reached a hand up to the flames. “What’s it doing here?”

"Sonata, that might not be a good idea," Strum said despite the soothing feeling the flame gave off. Sonata shuddered as she put her hand down, Rarity clearing her throat.

"As Sonata said, this is a large source of magic called the Flame of Devotion, or put correctly, a small part of it. However, what she doesn’t know however, is that the flames are strengthened by the members of the Society," Rarity explained.

"Pretty much the more kinky sex we have, the stronger the fire gets," Rainbow Dash reiterated, while Rarity simply looked horrified at her friend’s crude description.

"Come along, we still have much to see," Rarity stated as she lead the group away. Unbeknownst to them a pink heart shined on Sonata's hand then vanished.

A Melody of Captivity (clop)

Sonata couldn't contain her excitement as she took a shower. Today was the day she and Strum Rhythm could finally enjoy the society rather than just attending classes. Sonata turned the shower off as she walked over to her locker. Sonata opened her locker to find her box, smirking as she lifted the lid, revealing her collar and cuff set.

It had taken some work to create a collar to describe her. The color was the easy part, traditional black, illustrating their commitment to one another while acknowledging the early stage of their relationship. The top border of the collar was dark blue, while the lower remained empty, a sign like the ruby studs that she was open to exploring with others though she preferred men, especially one in particular. Finally there was the purple band due to the simple fact she loved being objectified in bondage. Sonata put her cuffs on slowly though she left her collar in the box.

Sonata gathered her hair into a ponytail then pulled out the purple ribbon with her gold bell, tying her ponytail so the bell hung in her hair. Sonata closed her eyes and concentrated on the bell, causing it to ring. The siren smirked as she pulled out the collar and the last item, a lock displaying Strum's motif: a metronome designed like a guitar pick. With lock and collar in hand, Sonata walked out of the locker room to the main hall of the society.

Strum Rhythm stood waiting for Sonata in the cavern. While her image of a sexy dom had been ruined by an awful series of book/movies, Strum still dressed in a black dress suit with a grey dress shirt. He turned to her, showing off his mask: like her collar it's base was black but it also had a mix of white with a gold engraving of a fox under his left eye, hanging from the right was a trinket in the shape of Sonata's sigil. Unlike her collar however, Strum’s mask had a blue border all around to show others he was straight.

"Test your bell," Strum said to Sonata, walking over to the stunned siren. Sonata blinked then closed her eyes, causing the bell to ring three times, then five, and finally seven. "Your safe words," Strum asked, eliciting a giggle from Sonata.

"Staircase, Clockface, and Towertop. But honestly, I don't think I'll be talking much," she said with a wink, holding out the collar and lock. Strum took both from Sonata, studying them in his hands.

"These are pretty nice," he said, slowly as he inspected them. Wrapping the collar around Sonata’s neck, he buckled it, but paused before attaching the lock. “Once this is on, play starts, and only your safe word or bell can stop it," he reminded her. Sonata smiled happily as she placed her hands over his, helping him close the lock. "Come," Strum Rhythm ordered as he hooked a finger through the padlock's shackle.

Strum lead Sonata down to the lower level, moans echoing off the walls. The two suddenly teleported, now finding themselves in a large showroom. Men and women were looking through racks and bins filled with clothing, models stood on platforms behind the racks dressed in varying designs of submissive and dominant wear.

Sonata felt her pussy dripping with arousal as she looked at some of the different costumes and models scattered around. One of the models she was staring at intensely was fully enclosed in a gimp suit save for his black collar with red border as he was currently sucking off his master who was dressed in a textured black skin-tight catsuit with matching gloves and silver toed boots, the only thing she could tell about his mask from her current angle was it was black with a purple border.

"Well, would you look at that," Strum said to Sonata as he guided her to look at another couple of models.

The women, at least that’s how they presented, wore latex dresses in a classic style, one appropriate for a nurse maid, the other a young child. The nurse’s was orange with black underskirt and white apron, while the other was a baby blue with a white underskirt. Both were wearing tights as well with their hair tied into pigtails from which hung their bells. Both were blindfolded, and stood tall in ballet boots, belts tying them against each other, that however wasn't what made Sonata blush. What made her blush was that both blindfolded girls had a dildo in the other. The girl in the orange dress pumping her friend with a strap-on who in turn thrust a dildo in and out of her ring gag. The one thing off about their outfits were their collars, the one in orange having a white collar with a purple band, while her partner wore red with an orange band.

"Strum, darling~" A voice called out to the well dressed dom. Both turned to see Rarity walking over to them. Rarity was dressed in a purple latex pencil skirt with a black button top and leggings, her purple thigh highs clicking on the stone floor. Her mask, like the rest of her outfit, was black with a purple border and purple engravings like branches sprouting from the bridge of her nose while two peach plumes stood erect.

"Rarity. We were just admiring the scene your slaves are making," Strum said as he looked to Sonata.
"You’re especially enjoying it, aren't you, my little song?" Strum Rhythm asked Sonata, both doms looking at her wet sex.

"Y-yes master," she said lamely, shifting in place as two hungry glares were now on her. Sonata felt a sudden rush of pain on her breast as her master had slapped her.

"Don't be rude slut. Miss Rarity is here as well," he growled, pointing to the amused domme.

"Your slaves are hot Miss Rarity," Sonata mumbled, looking to the ground. A crop found its way under her chin, forcing her to look into predatory sapphire eyes.

“I’m afraid I must correct you both, these are not my slaves, I merely do my best to keep them out of trouble.” Turning her attention to the siren, "But, you need much more training darling." Rarity said to Sonata, her eyes never leaving Sonata's gaze as she spoke again, "However, I think she's competent for my needs, if it's alright?" Sonata tried to turn her head to Strum to ask what she meant, but Rarity's eyes had a strong grip on hers.

"Miss Rarity is going to compete in a contest for the ClockTower Apparel Guild. They want this contest to be a monthly thing called the Threads of Devotion," Strum told her as he looked at the two.

"Each contestant must draw three themes and create an ensemble based off each theme for both dominants and submissives." Rarity explained with a flirtatious smirk.

"At the moment there are only three of us competing but Fluttershy said she would be more than happy to model a domme outfit with Rainbow Dash being her little slave. I will model one with Applejack, and when Strum told me about your latex fetish... well if your dripping flower is any indication you may be more than interested." Rarity moved her crop against Sonata's folds, the siren shivering as Rarity brought the now wet tool up to her face and licked it clean.

"Win or lose, we get to keep the clothes we model," Strum said as he began to play with Sonata's nipples.

"W-when can we start?" Sonata squeaked as she rocked from side to side, trying very hard not to cum.

"Next week we'll draw the themes. Of course we'll need to make sure everyone agrees to the kinks on them, otherwise we'd have someone working on something they or their models are uncomfortable with." Rarity said happily before looking at the two slaves. "Hey! I never said you could stop you lazy girls! Keep fucking!" she demanded, her crop striking both sissy girls asses as they picked up rhythm again.

"Staircase." Sonata gasped, shaking her head. "I-I mean Clockface." She rephrased, both sets of eyes now on the blue haired girl. "Is this real? Or are you just... Trying to make me think everything is fine to trick me?" she asked Rarity. Rarity shook her head.

"Sonata, you are not the first person we've faced off with who has reformed, and I greatly doubt you'll be the last." Rarity reassured as she hugged Sonata.

"But we turned the entire school against you, we turned yourselves against each other. Hell, we almost took over the world. You'd forgive all that?" Sonata asked like a little kid who did something bad.

"Dear, as I've said before, you weren't the only one. And the few that have stuck around with us have become good friends." Rarity comforted. "And it's my hope, that you also become a good friend," Rarity stated, Strum Rhythm taking her hand.

"Thank you," Sonata said with a smile, looking to Applejack and Rainbow Dash who were now clearly listening to the conversation, "What about those two"

Rarity looked at the two and rolled her eyes. "Give them a bit. They’re pig headed, not vindictive. Right girls?" Rainbow Dash gave Rarity a huff while Applejack gave the best thumbs up she could.

"Thanks Rarity. I guess it'd be kinda nice, having you as a friend," Sonata said with a smile, causing Rarity to smile. "I think I'm okay now," she said to the two doms.

"In that case, I think it's time we have our own private time," Strum said, giving Sonata a hungry smirk, "If you’re ready."

"Oh yeah," Sonata said with a derpy smile. "I mean, Clockface." Once the words left her mouth, Strum once again took ahold of her collar.

"Thank you for your time, Rarity. I guess we'll be back later to discuss this more," Strum Rhythm said as he pulled Sonata with him.

"Goodbye Darlings~! Enjoy your evening," Rarity called out before moving to her slaves. Strum pulled Sonata through the gate returning the two back to the large gateway hub.

"Where is it. Where is it. Ah! There it is." Strum said as he lead Sonata to a gate at the far end. "Your gonna love this."

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Sonata found herself lead into a room with an interesting sight. Many in the room looked like Strum and Sonata did, the doms dressed in suits and dresses while the subs were naked, save for the restraints binding and gagging them.

In one corner she saw the unmistakable Spoiled Rich bound tightly in a bare position, nipple clamps connected to her red collar with silver studs and purple border biting her nippels while a man in a red mask placed cigarette ash into her ashtray gag, playing cards with the other doms at the table, all of them wearing red masks and none of the men Filthy Rich.

Sonata looked away from the table and found another group cheering as their subs waddled across the room along guide ropes festooned with many knots that rubbed against their sex.
Her pussy was dripping as imagined she herself in that situation.

Strum pulled Sonata away from the gate to a corner of the room with an empty seat.

"I was told a lot about this room by Braeburn and he let me in on a little secret," he stated to Sonata as he sat down. Sonata looked around unsure if she should answer or not.
"Each arm holds a compartment which allows one to pull out an item they are thinking of," Strum answered, as he opened both sides.

Sonata watched as Strum pulled out a ring gag and blue buttplug the size of a golf ball.

"Open slave," Strum ordered, holding up the ring gag. Sonata did as she was told and opened her mouth, Strum securing the gag in her mouth. He then held the plug up for her to see. "You have ten seconds to lube this up."

Sonata moved forward to wet the plug but quickly discovered the ring wouldn't allow her to suck on it, only allowing her to lick it slowly. Sonata gave it two licks then whined as Strum pulled it away.

"Present," he told her. She gave a defeated moan and did as he ordered seeing a few glances from others in the room. Strum was painfully slow putting the plug into her asshole, pushing it in a little deeper each time before pulling it out. Strum gave it a twist before pushing it all the way causing Sonata to become a moaning mess.

"Now, if you can prove yourself to be a good cock sleeve, you get to swallow my cum. If not, you get a facial instead," Strum said as he zipped open his fly, his penis standing fully effect in her face.

Sonata smiled around the ring as she began to lick Strum's dick like an ice cream pop, her tongue moving around the entire length of his penis teasingly. Strum Rhythm grabbed Sonata's hair and forced Sonata to deep throat him. Strum forced her head to bob up and down to take him in. Sonata gagged each time her head was moved. Tasting his precum on her tongue when he held her at the base of his cock

Sonata's eyes bulged as Strum cummed down her throat. Snorting caused some of Strum's cum to leak out of her nose.

"Don't make a mess on my pants," he ordered while gasping, trying to look her in the eyes with some difficulty. Sonata did her best to follow his orders, making sure to press herself further onto his cock. When she pulled her head back, Strum's cock was free of cum, however it did have a fair amount of spit.

"You did wonderful,my little song," Strum purred as she took deep breaths through her ring gag. A clock chimed in the corner as two doors opened, four bondage maids with trays walked around the room.

The maid who came over to Strum and Sonata had three tones in her flowing long of pink, light green, and light blue. Her uniform was designed like a classic sexy maid costume while substituting black with gold. She looked at the two with a knowing smirk around her gold ball gag. The one thing colorwise off about her outfit was a red collar with ruby studs and purple band, the padlock symbolizing the maid guild.

On the right of the tray was a towel with a card reading used, the left containing potions and mints. Strum took a mint and placed it in Sonata's mouth and used the towel to wipe her nose. Once clean he reached behind her, causing Sonata's eyes to widen as Strum pulled the butt plug, her anal walls clamped around it making it a bit harder for Strum to remove. With one final pull, Sonata felt the plug leave her ass, the siren letting out a squeak as he did. Strum Rhythm put the plug on the tray, smirking at the maid.

"Well Slave, thank the maid for her service," Strum ordered the panting Siren.

"Ank... Ou..."she said breathlessly, not looking the maid in the eyes. Strum removed her gag after and laid it with the butt plug, Sonata made a note to tell Strum that she knew the maid, since it's actually a funny coincidence. The maid gave Sonata a knowing grin as she left the two, joining the other maids as they exited through the same door they entered from.

Sonata quickly found herself in his arms as he carried her out of the room. Neither one said a word as he traveled back to the corridor of archways, Strum heading to one across the room, it's symbol displaying that it was the aftercare room.

The first thing they noticed was the whiff of vanilla in the room. That along with the calming music made it pretty relaxing. Other couples sat on plush pillow mats either cuddling or messaging lotion on one another, small refrigerators next to them containing drinks, snacks and other aftercare items that required to be cold.

Strum carried her over to one of the empty alcoves, laying Sonata on one of the mats. As he removed her bindings, Strum kissed her legs and arms before giving her lips a soft kiss.

"Did you have fun?" Strum asked as he sat next to her supine form. Sonata placed her hands behind her head.

"I loved it. You got a little cheesy with the 'thank yous' though," she teased, poking his side.

Strum sighed as he moved to the refrigerator, pulling out two bottles of water.

"You like it when I'm cheesy though," Strum said as he passed her the water. Sonata took a sip of the water before speaking again.

"I do, but you just get so flustered when I bring it up, it's cute," Sonata stated matter of factly. A blonde with crooked eyes walked by the two wearing the snap lock collar and buckled hand and ankle cuffs, pulling behind her a kitten gimp in dark blue latex with sea green eyes, her light and dark purple hair sticking out of the back of her hood.

The kitten slave locked eyes with Sonata then felt her white collar with gold band being tugged.

"Come on pretty kitty, we gotta get you out of the suit," the blonde chirped as she lead the cat away from Sonata.

"You know her?" Strum Rhythm asked as the two watched them leave.

"Nope," Sonata simply said, suddenly remembering what she wanted to tell Strum. "But that maid we had, she works at Canterlot High." Sonata laughed.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Sonata returned home with a smile on her face, and by the look of the driveway, Aria wasn't home so another plus. Sonata walked into the kitchen humming a song before singing a few of the lyrics.

"Take it or leave it, cause I'm really leaving. I've purchased my ticket to New York, first thing in the morning kissin' you good morning than whispering goodbye..." Sonata stopped, holding a hand to her mouth. She looked back and forth then continued at the climax of the song. "And I always feel incomplete~ she's smothering herself with her own beauty. And she was born and raised as 'Daddy's Princess'. But her gesture is no match for an heiress. Yeah her gesture is no match for an heiress."

Sonata gasped as tears of happiness fell from her eyes. She jumped in the air happy about the revelation. If she had her voice back, that meant she had her powers back. That thought stopped her happiness, even sent a chill down her spine. But why? Why did she fear having her voice back?

Her train of thought was stopped by thumping coming from Adagio's room. Sonata went up stairs to see what it was her leader was stomping her foot about.

Adagio Dazzle was on the ground, she was tied in a body harness with her hands tied at the crotch rope. Her legs were also bound above and below her knees as well as at her ankles. Adagio was gagged with taped wrapped around her mouth, looking ashamed at Sonata.

"What the hell, Dagi?" Sonata asked as she ran to Adagio. Seeing a pair of scissors under the bed, inches away from the lead siren, Sonata grabbed them and cut the orange haired girl free, electing an angry glare as she was ungagged.

"Me? Your the one that just cut my rope Sonata!" She then hissed in pain, angry red marks showing from where the rope was on her wrist and shoulders.

"How long were you like that?" Sonata asked angrily. Adagio looked at the clock then away from Sonata.

"It doesn't matter. I'm fine." Adagio grunted as she waved off Sonata. "You can leave now."

Sonata grit her teeth. True, while they did lose the magic that allowed them to control others they could still heal from any damage.

"No. Dagi we might not die but we still feel pain, and I know for a fact being tied up like that hurts after awhile." Sonata said as she sat in front of her leader. Adagio looked at the ropes cut around her.

"But I feel free. When I'm bound and gagged I don't need to worry about anything. I don't want to lead anymore Sonata, and when I'm tied up, I don't have to." The oldest of the trio confessed with a tear in her weary eyes.

"Dagi.." Sonata sighed knowing exactly how she felt. Sonata thought for a moment then clapped her hands. "From now on, you text me before you tie yourself up." Sonata instructed, getting a confused look from Adagio that morphed into annoyance.

"Sonata, I don't-"
Sonata interrupted Adagio's haughty reply, "You’re right, you’re going to text me to tie you up." Adagio was blushing as her mouth opened and closed like a fish.

"Y-you just want to sext your boyfriend pictures of me tied up," she accused, her fiery rubellite eyes never losing their hint of embarrassment.

"First, if I send him a picture of anyone bound and gagged it's gonna be me," she corrected, holding her hand up. "Second, yeah, we might still be able to heal from getting really hurt, but we shouldn't purposely put ourselves in harm's way."

Adagio thought on what Sonata said, looking between her then the bed.

"You need to promise me something," Adagio finally spoke, pointing at the younger siren. "You need to be upfront with me about everything. No secrets, got it."

Sonata gulped. While she knew Adagio only meant about what Sonata would do, she felt a pang of guilt over not telling here sister the biggest development of the night.

"Deal, from this point on, no secrets," Sonata said with a fake smile, all the while, leaving out that her voice had returned.
