Phoenix Redemption
Chapter 7
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSonata looked up at the girl with locks of flame, the setting sun creating a halo around her head. She watched as she grew ears and her hair extended into a tail. Sunset Shimmer, the girl who had been the downfall of her and her sisters who in the end had helped them. They no longer were starving. The powers were weaker, but they could feed on more emotions now. Sonata liked the taste of joy, Adagio preferred lust and Aria was closed-mouthed about it. She took the outstretched hand and Sunset pulled her up. A car pulled up and a boy with dark blue hair stepped out. He had been the one who made Princess Twilight cry.
“Sunset, are you ok? Did you kill anyone? Do I need to help hide the body?”
“I didn't kill anyone, Flash.”
“That's good. I didn't bring a tarp. By the way, why do you have pony ears?”
Sonata watched Sunset touch the ears on the top of her head."Never mind that now." Sunset turned to Sonata."Where do you live?”
“At River Valley Apartments,” Sonata spoke with a shaky voice as she slowly regained her breath.
Sunset smiled at her lit-up her face."Well, come on then.”
The blue haired boy looked at as though he was trying to place her. She turned to him."Hi I’m Sonata, you made the Princess cry and we thought it was funny, I'm sorry."
“Errr that’s okay?" The blue haired boy said rubbing the back of his head. "Front seat or back?’
Sonta smilled. "Shotgun!” She was grateful to have been saved she couldn't wait to tell the others. She had been the first to bounce back after being sent here and the first when they lost their pendants. Aria said it was case she was stupid, but Aria was the worst so what did she know. She slid into the front seat it was cozy and warm she glad to be out of the cold.
It didn't take long for them to reach the apartment she shared with her sisters. Sunset kept touching her ears the whole trip there. Sonata decided she was going to bring her inside with her, at least for a few minutes as Adagio probably wouldn't let Sonata keep Sunset.
“Will you come in with me!?" She pleaded with big puppy dog eyes.
“Go ahead, I'll wait. It's not like there's school tomorrow.” the boy said.
“Thanks Flash, I'll try and make it quick."
Sunset stepped out of the car and Sonata led her to her apartment. Sonata hoped that Adagio or Aria could properly explain what had happened to them as she’d get something messed up if she tried. She opened the door.
“I'm back! And i bought a new old friend!”
“Fuck, Sonata you ruined my concentration! You're the one who wanted the damn sushi in first place!” groaned Aria.
“Do you want some help? I work at a sushi place.”, Sunset offered while leaning curtly against the wall her sisters turned to her.
“Sonata why did you bring her here?”, Adagio questioned.
“She saved me from three big guys who were going to do bad things to me.”, Sonta replied innocently
“Is that why she's got pony ears?”, Aria griped,
“It's a possibility. Now do you want help with the sushi or not?”
“Fine, whatever.” Aria said moving over. "Now regale us with the tale of your rescue sonata.”
Sonata took a deep breath and told Adagio everything. She could hear Aria and Sunset talking in the background a mummer of voices. It felt nice like having a third sister. Before she could begin to fantasy Adagio snapped her outta it.
“Who were these vile cretins?"
“That would be Hoops, Score, and Dumbell. They go to canterlot high, for now anyway."
“For now? What do you have planned Shimmer?" Aria asked putting the sushi down in front of them.
Sonata quickly snatched it up. It was hopefully the start of sushi Saturday. She watched sunset smirk. “I happen to still own several photos of them breaking and entering with destruction of private property. It shouldn't be hard for them to wind up in jail."
Aria gave a thoughtful look to Sunset before responding, “Hmmm, I'm not sure if that's good enough. I'm won't be satisfied with something so simple."
“More power to you.”, shrugged Sunset. “I'm trying to restart my life so i have no interest in ruining it with over-the-top revenge plans that would be quite satisfying but bound to come back and bite me in the ass. If they fuck with me, all bets are off. I do have an idea of where they live if you want to fuck their lives up."
“Let's beat their faces in.” Aria said punching her other hand.
“We need to met up and discuss our plans. Sunset, when are you free again?" Adagio asked.
“Monday at 3:30, I have to work. I'll help you plan but that's it." Sunset seemed definitive on this and the Dazzlings respected that.
Sonata leaned back, tired from work, warm, and full. She let the other conversation drift over her as Sunsets magic gently washed over her like a cozy fire or a soft blanket. She wasn't even singing or trying to feed off of her. Oh well, she would let Adagio figure it out. After all she was the smart one of the group. Even if her plans failed sometimes.
