On the last day and after the Starswirled music festival, a single act of gratitude has unexpected (but not necessarily bad) consequences

Last day of Starswirled music festival, sunset, although hesitant, wants to thank the Dazzlings, even though they doesn't know why.
A little box of pastries shouldn't be a big deal, right?

(Okay, so... I'm not a native English speaker.... That's not going to stop me from trying my best, of course, but... Yeah I don't know what to expect from this either....)

Ch1. Akward encounter

Sunset didn't even told the girls where she was heading. Not that they'ld have had a clue of the reason why anyway. She may have had skipped that particular part when she had to retell the story of the whole "time loop" event to her friends

Not on porpose of course, due to the time, she only gave them a brief explanation of what was going on, and now that she thought about it… she probably told all of that only to Pinkie this time, her friend probably told the rest of them anyway but she could be wrong.

After that day, she had been so focused on the festival and the events, that she completely forgot about the whole thing.
However, the day prior, after she finished "let it rain", she was ready to leave the scenario when she saw three siluettes with hoodies at the distance.
She couldn't really place them until she saw that one of them had shiny blue bangs with dark stripes that belonged to no other than sonata Dusk.

That was when it hit her, the Dazzlings…

Was it their intention or not (probably not), thanks to them she was able to make amends with pinkie and also, find out who were the ones behind the time loop (besides teaching her a valious lesson)

And yeah, they were evil when she met them for the fist time, and this second encounter they hadn't been really nice, although to be fair, she literally entered to their van by force and kind of blamed them for a crime they did not commit… so it was fair enough.
…but we're them still evil?

They couldn't use magic anymore, perhaps if she was a little nice to them… Maybe they would be able to put their differences aside once and for all….

Besides, a little act of gratitude shouldn't hurt...

There only were a couple of problems, one of them being where to find them. Thankfully, being friends with some part of the staff and music groups (aside of being a performer herself) had it's benefits, reason why, finding them ended up being easy.
Which only left her with one problem….

How to show your gartitude to trio of former enemies who doesn't even know what are you thanking them for?…

Them she remembered a recipe of some "mocha muffins" that Applejack had thought her a while ago.

Sure she didn't know if they even liked sweet things but… it was worth the try.

And all of that lead her to this moment, last day of the festival at night, 7:45 p.m. or so, she was heading towards the van of her former enemies, with a wooden purple box of mocha Muffins.

"Here goes nothing" she exhaled before knocking once she reached the purple vehicle.

I'd she was honest, she didn't know what to expect from this …
She didn't really knew the dazzling very well southside of the battle of the bands, for Celestia's sake, she barely knew their names…
All she knew was that they didn't really like her nor her friends very much, so at least she was prepared for being kicked out and any kind of bad scenario.

However, what she never expected was to find herself face to face with a tired-looking, shoeless Adagio with her hair down in what looked like kitten printed pink pijamas.

Huh… she looked WAY shorter without heels or a voulouminous puffy ponytail….

It took the siren five seconds to react;
One… to see the person who was disturbing her rest…
Two… to process the information
Three… to fully recognize the person
Four… to realize that her former enemy was watching her in her…state
And five… to close the door instantly

Sunset stood there for a moment, completely dumbfounded before speaking

"Hum…Adagio? I-It's me Sunset! I ah…. I brought muffins for you three….and, I... Kind of came to speak to you?..
I'll go away if you want to, just … you, know…" she said suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.

For a couple of minutes she stood there, hearing incomprehensible mumbles, grumbles and a clearly open laugh (probably Aria's) muffled by the vehicle.

She was about to leave the box in the ground and leave, when the door opened again.
Adagio steped out of the van dressed with the new outfit she'd seen the other day, her ponytail a bit messy because of the rush, and then the door closed again, leaving both of them alone in a very akward silence.

If Sunset had learned something about the leader of the sirens in the short time they'd been in the school, was that Adagio, aside from being a strong, seductive, clever and a bit sadistic leader, was also the kind of person that looked right in the eyes at the people she was interacting with, reason why seeing her incapable of looking at her was … unexpected.

She couldn't blame her of course, after all, she'd just catched her wearing cute pink pijamas with kittens in it, not exactly what she expected from a deadly sea creature from another world, to be honest.

"So.." Adagio spoke, trying to sound as serious as she could "what exactly did you wanted to talk about? If you don't mind me asking"

"Oh! I just …came to check up on you and uh…kind of… thanking you…." Sunset said sheepishly.

Adagio blinked a couple of times, clearly confused. She opened her mouth a little, but before she could say anything Sunset started speaking again.
"It's a long story…. And you don't remember... Actually I dare to say that it was probably erased from existence but… you see; The first day of the festival wasn't exactly 'a day'.
I was supposed to spend the day with pinkie and go to post crush's concert, but at the end of it, and after some uh… unfortunate turn of events, everything got ruined, and we got expelled from the festival. I was mad at pinkie and wanted to be alone so I leaved the camp for a short time.
All I know, is that the next day, wasn't exactly 'the next'.
Apparently, the day had restarted over again, and it continued to do so for two weeks.
Then one day, we all spotted you three sing that song of yours... We thought you were responsible for it as some kind of revenge…
So pinkie and I tried to investigate.
At the end we got that it wasn't you, but the thing is, while doing so I kinda hurt pinkie's feelings, and you, specifically you said "If the day is always the same, maybe is you who needs to change".
Was it your intention or not I still don't know, but it ended up being the clue i needed not only to discover who was behind that mess... But also helped me to make amends with pinkie.
So what I'm trying to say here is…" Sighing, Sunset dared to look at Adagio in the face for what she needed to say next "Thank you… I wouldn't have done it without you".

Adagio was silent for a couple of minutes, thinking about what to say, she even opened her mouth a couple of times before colisg it again, but the truth was that she had no idea of what to reply.

Sunset, seeing this, decided to break the silence herself. "Umm…so I made these myself" she gestured to the box. "It's a recipe someone taught me a while ago, mocha Muffins I believe... I had no idea of what to give you so I went for some … generic thing I guess… it's not too much but I really put a lot of effort into this" she rambled before giving the box to the confused siren.
She was growing really uncomfortable by the second, and the sudden silence from her companion wasn't helping.
"I probably should get going… it's getting darker and… yeah…" she didn't wait for a response and tuned around starting to walk quickly.

Suddenly she stopped and turned her face to say one last thing "if you guys need something anytime… you know where to find me…".
With that final statement, she walked away.

Adagio, on the other hand, was still processing the information of what Sunset just told her.
" You're… welcome?" She said quietly.

She slowly turned to the van, Aria and Sonata stepping out of it, both with puzzled faces.

"Well…that was something" Aria said slowly taking Adagio's right side while Sonata took the left one.

"Indeed, let's go back inside, I'm dying to get a little bit of rest, Sonata?"

"Yeah?!" Chirped the littlest siren

"Could you please make some tea?, I'd like to have something to drink with these…"

Author's Note

A bit short, I know, I was hoping it to be a bit larger but ...apparently not....

However, I did anticipate for this one to be the shortest chapter until know.
I haven't wrote the next one's, but I do have a sinopsis of at least 6 chapter more.

A very minimal interaction for the dazzling I know... I tried to make it as akward as possible...
So I hope I achieved it.
It will be a lot more participation and dialogues from them in the next chapters.

Anyway, hope you like this, this is the first story i've ever wrote in English so... yeah let's see how this goes ... If you guys have some tips to give i'ld appreciate it a lot!

Thank you for reading and ... See you next time!.
