Aria Blaze was walking on the sidewalk. There wasn't much people around since it's almost Christmas Eve, she had gotten gifts for Adagio and Sonata who were preparing dinner at this time. The grumpy siren looks up to see snowflakes falling down the sky and she raised her hand so that she could catch at least one, she did and lowers her arm so that she could look at it but something was strange. It had a light pink shade color on the sides, she examines it for a while and keeps it so that she could solve it later. "Adagio's going to kill me if I don't make it back in time, plus I need to make sure Sonata didn't mess up my room again with her taco addiction". Aria started to walk again and looks around to admire the scenery of the snowflakes falling. It pleases her for some reason, it had this relaxing vibe as it falls to the ground. The siren stop at her tracks when she felt..... Equestrian magic. It was strange but then again, this world has magic thanks to Sunset Shimmer. She hesitated at first because she knew the only ones with that magic is Sunset's group of friends but it was pulling her to investigate. She then decided to run to the direction of the magic, as she was running she can feel that she was getting closer to the magic. It eventually lead her to the park. She got confused for a moment but continues to search for Equestrian magic, she then stopping in front of a big pile of snow. She stared at it for a while and the notices a strand of light pink hair. She then brushes off the snow and saw it was one of Sunset's friends.... the shy one. She looked like she was about to freeze to death literally. Aria then digs off the pile and removes her jacket even it will make her cold this girl was more important, she then wraps it around the girl and carries her bridal style. She starts to run home hoping that this girl would still be alive. She ran as fast as she can carrying her gifts with her wrist, she took a glance on the girl. She looks so fragile. Aria felt bad but she didn't know why, she wondered why. She made it home and starts kicking the door. The door opened to reveal Adagio looking really mad but her expression softened when she saw Aria breathing tiredly holding a familiar rainboom member. She didn't need to ask her fellow siren what was going on instead she signaled Aria to come inside quickly and will try her best to make sure the girl was okay. Aria sets the girl down the couch and rushes upstairs to get some pillows from her room while Adagio quickly makes soup. Sonata got confused when Aria had ran past her, she went downstairs and was about to sit on the couch when she was shock to see her. She quickly goes to her room to grab her fluffy warm blanket. The bubbly siren then puts the blanket on the fragile girl's body so that it could keep her warm and starts to fire up the fire place. Aria came back with some pillows and places it on the couch and gently lays the girl's head so that she could be more comfortable, she checks the fragile girl's pulse and thank heavens she was still alive. "What happened to her?". Sonata asked. "I don't know Nata. We need to see if she's going to wake up then maybe we could ask her". Aria said as she goes to the kitchen to make some tea. Adagio came back with a bowl of soup and puts it on the coffee table, The sirens then watches the girl's steady breathing. Aria started to pace back and forth waiting for the girl to wake up. Then they all heard a coo and all of them saw the girl's eyes started to open slowly. Aria then rushes to the girl and got in front of her face, the girl stared at her for a second and starts to sit up slowly. She then looks around to see she wasn't in her house, she remembered what happened a few days ago. She started to cry and this concerned the trio. "Wh-What's wrong?". Adagio asked. "Why?". "Come again please?". Aria asked as she sits next to the girl. "Why did you save me?". The siren didn't give her the answer she wanted to hear. She didn't know how to answer this girl. "I didn't... know why. I wonder why I did to be honest". Aria said. "We didn't know you're name". Sonata said. "I'm Fluttershy". "That's a pretty name". Fluttershy and Aria both look at each other. They both started to blush and looks away, the other sirens had a smug grin on their faces because they had smell something juicy right now. Fluttershy sighed and wraps the blanket around her body. "Is something bothering you?". Aria asked. "It's..... something I had to deal by myself". They all heard a stomach growled and this made Fluttershy blush in embarrassment. Adagio giggled and offers Fluttershy the soup that she had made, the shy girl thanked the siren kindly and starts drinking the soup, Aria watches the rainboom and had this weird feeling inside her stomach. "So how did you end up like a corpse?". Sonata asked and both of them sirens glared at her but Fluttershy didn't mind. "Well... It was when an account called Anon-A-Miss. It all started when my best friend's secret came out and all of the students secrets as well, we immediately thought it was Sunset.... my best friend. We thought she was back to her old ways, then we didn't gave her a chance to tell her point of view. Next day she transferred to Crystal Prep to be with her new girlfriend. That was the same day that the real Anon-A-Miss had revealed their identity". "What do you mean?". Sonata asked. "It was the CMC". Fluttershy said. "I know them". Adagio said as she starts putting the food down at the coffee table to join the rainboom. "Their the ones who performed with weird hair cuts and lame music". Aria confirmed and starts eating mash potatoes. "Oh those girls. I kinda dig their music". Sonata said. "Still I don't get what the big deal is that I found you in a pile of snow". Fluttershy looks down in shame. "I felt horrible for calling her names and didn't give her a second chance.... I was having second thoughts whether she was behind that account. I failed being her friend, I thought I could end my life by freezing to death". Fluttershy said and this made Aria feel bad. "You don't need to kill yourself for that.... you could just call a friend..... like me". Aria boldly said. "But.... you despise people". Fluttershy said and she felt Aria's hand held onto hers. "I know but now that I heard everything you went through.... I just thought you needed a friend to talk about this problem". Aria said. Both of them looked straight in the eye. They felt something had light something on their hearts but they weren't exactly sure what it is. Fluttershy hesitated at first but she could tell that the siren was willing to help her out, she nod her head in approval and both of them shared a hug. Of course Adagio and Sonata joined in the hug making them happy, it was night time and Aria offered her bed to Fluttershy. "I would really rather sleep on the couch". "I insist Fluttershy". Aria was about to leave when she was stop by Fluttershy grabbing her wrist. "We...We can share the bed if you want". Fluttershy shyly requested and Aria blushed. Both of them awkwardly laid down and the silence joined in the air. The siren wasn't sure if she would sleep or talk to Fluttershy, she heard the shy girl's snoring softly which puts a smile on the siren's face. Aria couldn't help but watch the fragile girl like she was protecting her. Aria woke up 1 in the morning to hear a whimper. She saw Fluttershy whimpering and had tears on her eyes as she was sleeping. The siren then rubs Fluttershy's head gently and whispered to her ear. "Please don't cry.... I'm here.... I'm not going anywhere". With that, Fluttershy slowly stopped crying and nuzzled Aria's neck. The siren sighed in relief and goes back to sleep this time with her arms wrap around the fragile girl's body. "I still wonder....". Aria cooed as she watched Fluttershy looked outside the window watching the snow fall down the ground. It has been 2 days since she took the fragile girl into her home. Up until now she still wondered she saved Fluttershy, she wasn't sure how she felt towards the girl. "Hey Shy". "Yes Ari?". "Doesn't your family know that you've been.... missing?". Fluttershy turned to look at Aria with a sad expression looking like she was ashamed. "I'm.... still ashamed from what I did and I'm not ready to face them yet.... they knew the whole thing". Fluttershy said. Aria then sat beside Fluttershy and wraps her arm around her shoulder to comfort her. The shy girl puts her head on the siren's shoulder because Aria is so warm. They both watched as the snow falls down and Adagio was about to tell them something but stopped when she saw the both of them staring out the window which brings a smile to her face. Glad to see their getting along "I'm still scared that I might see Sunset again....". "Don't worry, I'll be there by your side when that happens". Aria said. It was now December 23rd. The sirens and Fluttershy decided to go outside and play in the snow, Sonata and Adagio started building a snow man and Fluttershy was building a small snowman. Aria was beside the rainboom watching her. I still wonder..... Aria looks up the sky and holds out her hand to catch a snowflake. She lowered her arm to look at the snowflake had a shade of light pink on the ends, just like the one she caught 3 days ago. Fluttershy did the same and had caught a snowflake with a shade of purple on the ends, it was like a signal to them but they ignored it. Aria then was hit by a snowball and looks to see Sonata slowly trying to escape. The grumpy siren smirk and the trio had a snowball fight while Fluttershy was rooting for Aria. Aria Blaze got distracted how cute the shy girl was and was hit by a snowball at the face. A few minutes of playing Aria and Fluttershy sat down at the bench looking at the scenery. Fluttershy nuzzled the siren's neck and of course Aria had a massive blush on her face. Aria smiled and wraps her arm around Fluttershy's waist and leans on Fluttershy's head feeling really happy. "Thank you for being here for me". Fluttershy said. "It's no big deal Shy". Aria cooed. Then this made Aria realize why she had saved Fluttershy. It was now Christmas Eve and that means it's time to open the presents. Aria didn't get Fluttershy anything instead she had a special gift just for the rainboom. She waited as her sisters had gave each other gifts and Fluttershy did the same, she didn't wonder why she saved the fragile girl.... she knew deep in her heart that she can try friendship a chance by starting with her and now she had develop feelings for her. "Aria you didn't get Fluttershy a gift!". Sonata scolded her sister and Fluttershy just told the bubbly siren it was okay. Aria sighed and looks at Fluttershy. "I wanna give the present in private". Both of them went to their room since Aria told the rainboom they could share the bed. Both of them sat down and it was a bit awkward at first but the siren cleared her throat and was now ready to speak. "I've been meaning to tell you this for a while and...... I-". "I like you too". "I've been feeling something weird inside my stomach and I know the answer- wait what". Fluttershy giggled and nuzzled Aria's cheek happily. "I like you too Aria". Aria couldn't believe what she's hearing right now. Fluttershy said she loved her? "Hu-Huh?". "I've known since you told me that my name is pretty. I felt this vibe that somehow magic had connected both of us, it's like we needed each other". Fluttershy said. "Huh.... I was having some trouble figuring out why I saved you but now I know why". Both of them pressed their foreheads together and smiled happily. Fluttershy gave a soft peck on Aria's lips, followed by another, then both of them shared a kiss. Fluttershy wraps her arms around the siren's neck and laid down making Aria on top. They broke off the kiss to get some air and both of them looked at each other. "Do you... want to go more further?". Fluttershy thought for a second and nod her head in approval. Aria then went back to kissing her new girlfriend, she took off her long sleeve shirt and Fluttershy did the same. Aria started kissing Fluttershy's neck softly making the shy girl moan. Their fun had ended and their were wrapped in each others arms kissing. Their naked bodies had pressed together sharing their bond, Fluttershy broke off the kiss and looked at her lover lovingly as she caresses the siren's cheek gently and this made Aria smile. They shared one final kiss and Fluttershy closed her eyes and nuzzled Aria's neck, the grumpy siren stayed awake thinking that they went to fast but her girlfriend didn't mind. Fluttershy wasn't wrong that magic brought them together because they needed each other. She smiled and drifted off to sleep happily. Fluttershy and Aria Blaze were in the park sitting on their bench. They look like they were waiting for someone or some people, Fluttershy was talking to the birds and this pleases Aria since she loves her girlfriend. She found it relaxing to hear the birds chirping, it was music to her ears well second because Fluttershy's moans were music to her ears. Then from a distance, they could see a familiar red and gold hair approaching them making Fluttershy feel nervous. Aria noticed it and squeezes her girlfriend's hand gently and gave her a small smile. "Don't worry, just like I said.... I'm here for you". "I still wonder why you said that". Fluttershy smiled. "Because I love you".
