In comradeship is danger countered best.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When Sunset made it back to the table, Adagio looked like she was suffering a headache as Sonata and Aria bickered.

“Shut up Sonata! God what is wrong with you? Sunset’s only been gone for ten minutes. Even if she did leave it's probably because you're the worst!” Aria snapped to which Sonata let out an offended gasp.

“You're the worst Aria, not me! Sunny wouldn't leave, something might have happened! What if she's hurt?” Sonata got up and paced around the room like a chicken without a head.

Although Sunset did find it adorable that Sonata cared for her as much as she did, she thought it best that she calm down a bit. As such, Sunset cleared her throat to make her presence known to the trio. No surprise to her, Sonata was the first to react. “Sunny! You’re back!” Sonata then tackled Sunset to the ground in a tight bear hug as she nuzzled her cheek. “I was so worried. I wasn’t sure I’d see you again!”

Sunset laughed at Sonata’s overreaction before pushing her off. “Don’t worry Sonata. All that happened was Pinkie and Fluttershy coming to have a little chat is all.” The anon-a-miss fiasco wasn't something they needed to worry about.

Sonata’s look the changed to a pout. “But we were waiting for you!”

Sunset gave her an apologetic look. “It was something that couldn't wait I’m afraid. “

“You should have texted!” Sonata attempted to scold Sunset further

Aria then stepped in to rescue Sunset. “Sunset doesn’t have our phone numbers yet. She may be magical, but she's not that magical. So don't be stupid.”

Sonata wanted to refute, but found that she couldn’t. So instead, she chose to pout as she sat down in her chair as Adagio approached Sunset. “So what did Snow White and little miss cotton candy want?”

“Oh, nothing overly exciting, just something to do with the other three.” Sunset told them while omitting most of the details.

“Weren't there four others in your little party?” Aria inquired. “Unlike sonata, I can actually count.” Sonata retaliated to Aria’s comment by lightly slapping her arm before reaching herself around Sunset like a child would her caring mother

Sunset smiled warmly at the gesture and considered her words carefully. “Well you’re right Aria, but Twilight went home to Equestria.”

Aria hummed in thought before responding. “Okay that explains one of them, but what about the other three?”

“Well I hate to be rude since we are starting over, but that's not really any of your business. Especially since we're here to plan revenge on three boys and not on the other girls.”, Sunset really didn’t want to talk about the Anon-a-miss fiasco, especially with them. Flash was one thing since he was there for it, but these three almost ruined the school themselves.

Unfortunately for her, Adagio caught on to her deflections and smirked, “Come now Sunset, no need to hide anything from us.” Adagio then slinked up to Sunset and pulled her into a close side hug, a sight that did not please Sonata in the least. “After all, you're like us former villainess from another world. You’re practically an honorary sister to us.” That last statement put Sonata in a much more positive mood as Sunset continued to contemplate her next words.

Sunset seemed uncomfortable as Adagio seened to get closer to her, but managed to keep herself composed enough to respond appropriately, “Look, I don't really know you three all that well and I've never been big on sharing my personal issues. Besides, we’re here to plan revenge. If i change my mind you'll be the first to know all right?”

That seemed to satisfy Adagio as she released Sunset and sighed, “Very well then. Being here has taught us patience since it was much harder to feed here than it was there.”

While Adagio came off as somewhat condescending, Sonata seemed much more sympathetic to Sunset’s plight as she declared, “Well if anyone tries to hurt you in any way, then you just let me know and I’ll be right there to protect you.”

Aria rolled her eyes and chuckled at her sister’s words as she retorted, “You sure about that? You couldn’t even fight off three normal dudes, let alone half of the group that defeated all three of us.”

Sonata seemed stunned by her sister’s counter argument as she stumbled over her words for a bit, “Well um…”, she trailed until she finally came up with something, “I can just get you to bash their heads in Aria, you’re always getting into fights. Besides they were big guys and I was tired.”

Aira huffed and rolled her eyes, “Whatever Sonata.”

“Enough bickering you two,” Adagio snapped, “Can’t you two try and behave in public?”

Aria and Sonata were about to respond when a familiar and loud female voice cut them off, “Well look who it is.” Sunset and the Dazzlings turned to see Trixie standing in the doorway with a proud grin plastered onto her face. Wearing a familer leather jacket but with bedazzled stars. “Trixie knew all along Sunset was evil!” she declared, “She must have used the battle of the bands as a cover to get into the good graces of the school by defeating her own cronies! Well Trixie was never fooled and it will take a lot more than detention for the rest of the year to stop the great and powerful Trixie.”

Sunset really wasn't in the mood to deal with Trixie and her massive ego. Sensing this, Sonata decided to pluck up courage and step in to defend her. “You leave her alone!” she screamed, “She doesn’t want to associate with the likes of you!”

Trixie smirked. “Letting your minions fight your battles for you now?” she sneered, “I see you’re still hiding, aren't you anon-a-miss?”

Sunset growled as all three Dazzlings gave confused looks to the amateur magician. “Anon-a-what-now?” Aria inquired as she turned to Sunset, “This have something to with why Cotton Candy and Snow White held you up in the bathroom?”

Sunset wanted to scream as she had been hoping that by avoiding the questions, she would have been able to come up with a good lie. Now thanks to Trixie and her loud mouth, that plan was down the drain.

“What's the matter Sun-bitch?” Trixie sneered, “Didn't want your flunkies finding out about your little secret posting? Trixie is certain the blue one is too stupid to how to use a phone.” Trixie laughed as she spoke, which annoyed sunset and the Dazzlings.

“You shut your mouth Trixie before i break your fucking jaw,” Sunset declared, “Sonata is far from stupid. How the hell did you end up with my jacket? Did you follow me to showers?”

“That's a bit stalkerish Vixie or whatever you call yourself,” Adagio pointed out, “keeping Sunset’s jacket and following her around sounds like someone’s a bit obsessed.”

“Shut up!” retorted Trixie, “Trixie is not in love with the demon queen! Trixie is here to gloat and taunt before getting revenge! Wait until they all hear about the fact that Sunset and the Dazzlings were working together the whole time! Everyone will be out for your blood.” Trixie then began to laugh wickedly while the others all seemed freaked out at such declarations.

All except for Sunset who just seemed to get more livid with every word that came out of Trixie’s mouth. “How dare you!” she shouted, “I warned you Trixie. You should have kept your mouth shut so I'm going to shut it for you!” Sunset stood up fed up with Trixie and her obnoxiously loud mouth. She wasn't going to sit idly by and let her get away with it. As such, she marched forward and punched Trixie directly in her mouth, causing her intense pain as she staggered backward with blood pooling from her nose and the inside of her mouth. She also spit out a tooth that Sunset had broken. Sunset had cut her knuckle on said tooth, but the catharsis she felt afterward was well worth it.

After recovering, Trixie was about to fight back when she felt another sharp pain in her midsection. She looked down to see that Sonata had delivered a punch of her own directly into Trixie’s stomach area. Seeing the anger and determination on her face made Aria’s eyes widen in surprise and Adagio’s smile widen in pride.

“Wow,” Aria whispered, “Sonata actually threw a punch. Not a bad punch either, just needs a little work and you could be a somewhat believable threat.”

“Twixie’s,” Trixie lisped angrily as she spat out some blood, “gonna go to the powice, Twixie’s tooth is bwoken.”, she wiped away the blood that was dripping from her nose and winced a bit.

Adagio stood up and strutted towards Trixie with a predatory grin. She opened her mouth and began to sing with Sonata and Aria joining in. It didn't take long before Trixie's eyes began to glaze over as she nodded along to their music. Adagio lifted Trixie's chin Aria and Sonata continued to sing. “You are going to leave here and go home,” Adagio said slowly, “It was dark out and you didn’t see who hurt you. You never saw Sunset or us today. If you say anything bad about Sunset, you will then be forced to say three good things about her. Is that understood my dear?” Trixie nodded slowly in confirmation. “That’s a good girl, here’s a reward for you,” Adagio praised as she leaned in and kissed Trixie right on her lips, causing Trixie to turn around and walk slowly out the door.

Sonata then looked at Trixie’s hand and shouted, “Wait, she still has Sunny’s jacket!”

“It’s fine sonata,” sighed Sunset, “who knows what she did to it. Honestly, I thought i saw some stars on it. I’ll just save up for a new one.” She was going to miss that leather jacket, but at the end of the day it was just a piece a fabric. Sunset then came to a realization. “More importantly,” she started calmly, “How did your girls do that? I thought your powers went away when your pendants were smashed.”

Adagio sighed sadly as she recounted, “Our powers are much weaker without them, but we can now feed on emotions other than negativity. In fact, lust has actually come to be quite delectable as of late, not to mention much better and easier come by.” Adagio then moaned and rubbed her hands sensually over her hips and up over her breasts. Sunset was tempted to ask if she needed some privacy.

Sonata smiled as she jumped up and said, “I like joy and happiness! It makes me feel super good, like eating the best tacos ever! Your magic is warm, like being wrapped in a blanket by a cozy fire! I don't know how I fed from you when I wasn't even trying!” Sonata then started bouncing lightly on her toes brimming with energy.

Aria rolled her eyes at her younger sister as she came up and said, “As for me, I enjoy a heavy dose of anguish. If anyone’s feeling depressed, or mopey, or anything like that, then it’s basically a free buffet.” Sunset couldn’t help but feel a chill run up her spine. She silently reminded herself to not break down around Aria.

“Well I'm glad you three are doing well and found new ways to feed. Your powers are certainly handy,” Sunset said with admiration. The dazzlings then smiled proudly before Sunset considered their situation. “Obviously this was a terrible place to meet and plan what with all the interruptions,” she conceded. Adagio giggled in agreement while Aria moaned defiantly and Sonata pouted unhappily.

“How about next time we just met at our apartment,” Adagio suggested, “It would be private with no interruptions.”

Sunset chuckled warily, a bit worn out from the crazy day. Her life was a cavalcade of unending drama and she wanted it to stop. “Yeah, that sounds like a good idea,” she sighed.

Sonata then squealed with joy as she pulled Sunset and her sisters into a group hug and said, “This is awesome! It’s so amazing to see a new member of the family!”

Sunset and Adagio couldn’t help but smile at the youngest siren’s optimistic glee while Aria tried to hide her excitement. After a few minutes, the group separated and Sunset started to gather her stuff. She was about to leave when Sonata came up to her with a slight pout on her face and eyes so adorably huge. Sunset understood and hugged her with a sigh of content. “I’ll see you tomorrow Sonata,” Sunset promised as she broke the hug.

Aria then came up and simply gave Sunset the finger before smirking admirably. Understanding this as well, Sunset returned the gesture and smiled as she said, “Love you too Aria. Make sure to not do anything too rash.” Aria laughed and told Sunset to get the fuck out.

Before she could leave, Adagio grabbed her shoulder and turned her so that she was facing her. With only a sensual smile, Adagio leaned in and kissed Sunset right on the lips. Sonata pouted again and Aria raised an eyebrow, but they could tell that this was one of Adagio’s special kisses. Once they parted, Sunset simply stood there with a stunned expression. “Well that was unexpected,” she said before snapping herself back to reality, “your gorgeous and everything, don’t get me wrong, but I really don’t have the time or energy to deal with a relationship at the moment.”

“Oh don't worry about it,” soothed Adagio, “that’s just how I say goodbye to people I like. Except for my sisters, that would just be creepy. Anyway, think nothing of it.”

Sunset shrugged and bidded the trio farewell before making her way back to her own apartment. Along the way, she managed to raise her head a bit at the chance of being able to finally end all of this.

Meanwhile, Adagio turned to her sisters who seemed to be wearing expectant expressions on their faces. She then smiled and said, “Well girls. It seems that our little Sunset is in a bit of trouble at her silly little school.”
