Life Is A Rollercoaster: An Anon-A-Miss Story

"So why were you all alone whimpering on a bench," Adagio asked in a serious tone as the last of her lunch was devoured. Sunset has invited the three former sirens to her apartment for lunch. Sunset prepared for them a basic pasta dinner with some sauce. The three sirens ate it like it was a 10-course meal.

"Why do you care?" Sunset asked the eldest siren with a sad tone. The three sirens looked at her with disbelief.

"Oh Sunny," Sonata said with a sad voice.

"I assure you," Adagio said with a warm smile, "that there are people who do care about you." Sunset returned the smile with a grateful one of her own. Sunset took a deep breath as she prepared to tell her story.

She told them about how she had been framed for stealing secrets and posting them online, betrayed by her friends, cast out by practically everyone in Canterlot High, and learned from texts that her friends' sisters had been responsible.

"So," Sunset said as the end of her lecture, "what do you think I should do?" The Dazzlings frowned for a few moments, before they did something unexpected.

They started laughing at her like crazy. Sunset was confused and worried.

"What's so funny?" Sunset asked sheepishly.

"How pathetic you really are," Adagio said with the more-fitting vicious grin. Sunset felt sad frown form on her face.

"What are you talking about?" Sunset asked with a whimper. "I thought you said-

"I said there are people who care about you," Adagio said smugly.

"We never said 'we' cared about you," Aria gloated, while Sonata flashed Sunset her own mean grin. Sunset felt her lips quiver.

"But-but-,"

"What did you expect Sunset Shimmer?" Adagio said with crossed arms. "You foiled our plan and took our powers from us. Did you think we were gonna become your chums."

"Become your lovers," Aria said while giving her mock kisses. "I mean you do have a nice ass, but sad and desperate ain't my style." Adagio got behind Sunset and started giving Sunset a noogie.

"Treat you like a little cinnamon bun," Adagio said with a mocking grin. Sunset angrily pushed Adagio away.

Sonata felt a smile form on her face. "I love cinnamon buns!"

"Then why did you-,"

"We wanted to see we could get a free meal out of you," Aria gloated. All three girls let out a collective laugh. Sunset bit her lip and felt her face burning with rage.

"Well I'm glad you had your laugh," Sunset Shimmer said with a vicious smile. "Good luck in the street." The Dazzlings started laughing even harder. "What are you laughing at now?"

"You actually fell for that too," Aria said while clutching her gut as she chuckled. "You actually thought we were living in a van down by the river?" Sunset's mouth was replaced with confusion.

"We've lived here a thousand years here, Shimmer," Adagio gloated. "In that time, we've amassed more treasure than we could ever spend in several lifetimes. If our income was reported, we'd been among the richest people on the planet."

"Then why did you come into my house for a meal?" Sunset asked with growing anger.

"Because we thought it was funny," Adagio gloated. Sunset started fuming even more.

"And we wanted to see if you'd be dumb enough to let your enemies into your home." Aria said with a sneer. "And to think after all this time, you're a still a dumb little pony who always needs to make friend-," Aria said nothing as Sunset grabbed her by her shirt rammed her into the wall.

"I'm gonna break every bone in your body," Sunset bellowed.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Adagio said with a raised eye. "Do you really think you can beat all three of us up?" Adagio removed her purple shirt. She wore nothing but a tank top that showed off thick muscles around her arms and abdomen. She then cracked her knuckles and held up her fists with a vicious smile.

Sonata raised her fists too, looking like a kid about to ride the merry-go-round. Aria did nothing but sneer at Sunset, proving how little she cared that Sunset was attacking her. With a whimper, Sunset let her go.

"Good choice," the pig-tailed siren said with a sneer.

"And remember this, Shimmer," Adagio said with a threatening look, "I may not have my powers, but I have two things to hold over head besides physical strength: I know where you live and I have a bottomless bank account. With one call, I could trash your life beyond repair." Sunset never felt more scared in her entire life.

"The one good thing about this stupid world is that there aren't goody-two-shoes Princesses and annoying wizards," Aria gloated. "Humans care about one thing: money. And we've got lots of it. If we wanted to ruin you, there are no shortage of people who wouldn't take that opportunity for a few million dollars." Sunset gulped.

"Do you want to know why I haven't done that?" Adagio asked with a vicious smile. Sunset whimpered.

"The goodness of your heart?" Sunset croaked.

"No," Adagio said, "I was taught about how stupid revenge is. If we can't rule this world, I'll take living well in it as my consolation prize. And I'd rather not jeopardize that by messing with one of Twilight's little pets and inviting retaliation."

"We'll be moving to our own private island somewhere in the Western Ocean," Aria said with a smirk. "So how about a truce. You stay away from us, we'll stay away from you. Sound fair?"

"OK," Sunset said fearfully.

"Good," Adagio said with a smile, "think of bilking a free meal out of you as our little bit of revenge." The Dazzlings let out another bout of mocking laughter.

"You're just so cute, Sunnybun," Aria said with a teasing smile. "If you weren't some annoying pony, we would probably do this more often." The three piled out of the apartment with teasing smiles, leaving behind a fuming and angry Sunset.
