A little Sparkling Blaze

Aria's POV

The next day started out pretty normal and was for the most part till the evening.

I knew I had told Adagio I could watch all the kids while she was talking to Sonata I didn't expect her to really want to do it the next day but she and Winter showed up with Tifany, Rebecca and Snow.

"Are you sure you can handle all three of them?" Adagio asked me and Dash.

"Yeah." I told her." I think we can handle them."

But that's when I saw Sunset's car arrive too.

"Emergency at work they need everyone they can."Sunset told us."Since Winter and Dagi are busy can you take care of them?They been wanting to play with Sparkling anyways."

"Another emergency sis?"Winter said in an suspecting tone.

Sunset nodded not looking at Winter.

"But there's been already 4 only this week and all 4 of them turned into you staying into work later."

"I gotta go."Sunset told us without facing any of us.She runs to her car and leaves.
Dagi gives a nervous laugh and turns to me.

"Can you handle all five of them."She then turned to Winter."If your sister keeps doing this Sonata's not the only one we're gonna have a talk to."

"But-"

Adagio sends him a glare that told me something was happening to her to and meant "not another word".

But before I could ask her anything they left.Tifany and Rebecca ran to our kitchen,Snow clinged on to my leg.
And Sparkling would be quietly watching her cartoons if Blame and Sky hadn't arrived.But since they did the three of them been running around nonstop.

I sighed I should have known things were going to be like this. This is why I don't normally offer to take all the kids at once. I finally looked down at Snow.

"You can let go." I told her.

"They'll get me." Show told me.

She didn't have to explain who she meant I already knew. Before I could say anything else I saw Tifany and Rebecca come out of the house they were trying to hide something behind their backs. I walked over to them.

"Girls give me the knifes." I told them.

"No!"They both said a the same time.

"We wanna play pluft with the others."She said.

Rebecca nodded."It'll be so fun with everyone around."

"For the last time Pluft is not a game."I tell them.I turn to my back Snow's gone.

I hear Dash's voice from the other room:

"How did you even get up there?"

"Don't like people paying attention to Tify and Becca.Have to look at me."I hear Snow answer.

"Snow that didn't answer my question.How am I gonna get you down from up the cabinets?"

Blame,Sky and Sparkling passed through me running so fast they were a blur.

"Ok.Wish it didn't call for this."I get Dash's whistle from our room give to her.

"Blow it I'll yell it for everyone to stop the loudest I can."

" It's not gonna work."

"Yeah it is."

She blows her whistle.

"Everyone stop!!!Snow down from the cabinet if you find your way up you can find your way down,just don't jump from there.Tifany and Rebecca all things sharp away from you right now!And Sky,Blame and Sparkling do you wanna tear the house down or something?"For a moment all of them stopped and looked at me. "What is wrong with all of you?! Are you trying to destroy everything?!" I thought it might actually work. But just as soon as they stopped they started up again.

Dash walked over to me trying not to laugh.

"Did you really think that would work?"She asked me.

"I was hoping it would."

"When has anything ever been that easy?"That's when I heard Snow yell as she jumped off the cabinet. I tried to run to catch her but I knew I wouldn't be fast enough but Dash used her magic to catch her.

"Do it again,do it again!" Snow shouted at Dash.

We both sighed in relief.

Sparkling stopped however but now was looking at me with and Dash with a face I knew too well,we used to call her attention in a firm but low voice,she hated it when anyone yelled at her and it wasn't that since she been rescued from Forced,who I bet yelled with her all the time.

"Oh no,I just did that so you'd stop running.Don't start to..."Too late,she was crying."Cry."

Snow starting throwing a full blown fit.Because she realized Dash wasn't gonna do it again and was not putting her down to protect her from her sisters,her cousins who were still running like two little bullets,but herself."When I down!I put myself in the fridge and you never ever gonna find me!"

That's when I realize,one pair of twins,Sparkling,Snow,oh no,where were the ones who could actually hurt everyone?

I run into the kitchen.

"Tifany!Rebecca!"I yell.

I pass but her whispering from the cabinets.

"They won't let us play with the others but we can play with each other."I hear Tify whisper."Your turn.My turn."

When it was supposedly Rebecca's turn Tifany stayed quiet almost as if it didn't hurt.But when it was Tifany's turn Rebecca try as she might stop herself couldn't hold her screaming down and started crying.I open the cabinet and see the explanation to why,Rebecca cuts Tify's leg not really bad it was not even bleeding.Tifany however cut up from Becca's eyebrow down to her almost to the start of her nose.

Once she saw Becca crying she realized she hurt her and start crying too."I'm sorry I didn't meant to...I thought you could take it."

I got both of them from inside there."Dash here please.Catch Tifany if she faints,she got Becca pretty bad,I'm gonna take care of her."

Becca had already fainted,I looked over my shoulder the scar was pooling blood on my shirt,I really hope she didn't cut bad enough to make Becca not see out of that eye.Definetly needed the hospital tho.

What were we gonna tell Dagi and Winter?

Dash walked over to me after she got Tifany.

"How bad is she?" She asked.

"Bad. I need to take her to the hospital." I told Dash.

"You want me to take her? It would be faster."

"Do you want to be the one that has to tell Sunset what happened? How about the one that explains it to Adagio?"

"Ummm when you put it like that."

"Dashie Dagi loves you, but she'll kill you if you tell her."

I took Becca to the hospital and Sunset was there as I walked in.

"What happened?"Sunset asked me.

"Her sister got her." I told her.

Sunset took her back and I was left alone. Then I took out my phone, now for the real hard part. I called Adagio.

"Hey Dagi..."I said.

She immediately picked up on my tone.

"Aria what happened?"

"So...we took the eye of Tifany and Becca for a second and they hurt each other,now Tifany is ok,it didn't bleed,didn't left a mark,by the way she acted it probably didn't hurt.Rebecca however..."

"What happened to my daughter,Aria?"

"Tifany cut up from her brow down to almost the beginning of her nose.I'm at the hospital with her,Sunset is already treating her."

"We'll be right there." Is all she said.

Oh no I know that tone of voice. It's why I told Dash it should be me that tells her.

Adagio is ready to snap at someone. That tells me the talk with Sonata must have been going bad. I'm not really suprised Sonata is just as stubborn as the rest of us.

Adagio got there soon after I saw she not only had Winter with her but Sonata and Flash came too. Winter was trying to calm her down when she walked over to me.

"I asked you if you could handle all the kids!" Adagio shouted at me. "Does this look like you handled it?"

"Adagio this is Tifany and Rebecca we're talking about no one can watch them all the time. Besides I wasn't expecting Sunset to drop off Sky and Blame."

"It wasn't just you but you had Dash too. The two of you could have."

"Dash was busy catching Snow when she jumped off the cabinets."

"Girls." Sonata says getting in between us. "Please don't fight."

Adagio looked at Sonata. "Oh I'm not done with you yet."

Fortunately that's when Sunset got there.

Adagio looked ready to snap at her too,after all we all knew her emergencies turned into excuse into stay late at work.
But Winter sent her a look I also know too well.It meant "either you stop snapping at everyone either I tell you what you been doing that could make everyone snap at you".

"How's Becca?"Adagio said.

"She's only not blind of an eye cause she's half-siren.It'll heal but it's gonna leave a pretty bad scar."

"At least it's not as bad as it could have been." Adagio says. She's starting to calm down a little.

"It's probably a good idea not to have someone try and watch all the kids by themselves." I tell them.

Sunset looked down after I said that.

"I'm sorry it's just work has been so busy lately." Sunset said.

I could tell Adagio didn't believe her. But didn't want to fight right now. "We can talk about that later. Can I go see her?"

"Yeah you can."Sunset nodded."All of you can."

All of us went there.

Becca was waking up,the eye that was cut opening a little less than the other.

"What what happened?"She asked."I wasn't supposed to scream in Tify's turn.I'm sorry I screamed."

"She almost cut your eye." Adagio told her.

"Oh so next time not in the face." Becca said.

"No next time you don't play the game."

"But mom."

"Don't but mom me. You know how dangerous it is. The only reason you can still see out of that eye is your half siren."

"All the more reason I can do it."

I could tell Adagio was about to lose it but Winter spoke up. "Becca don't argue with your mom. You know she's right."

Becca was about to pull an argument but clearly was too wore out to do it."You gonna tell Snow off too?She got up auntie's cabinets and just didn't got hurt cause of aunt Dash."

"Yeah we'll tell Snow off too,you are in 3,nobody can give her attention 24/7."Winter said.

I call Dash.I hear Sparkling's crying.Snow was still throwing a fit.

"How's everything?"I ask.

"Sunset's twins seem a bit tired,but I guess to be expected with the much they ran,Tifany woke up and is on the living room watching tv,she's really worried about her sister,I can't calm Sparkling down since we yelled at them and Snow...I can't put her down.She got up the cabinets,inside the cabinets,inside our fridge,up our fridge,in all hidden places I didn't even know existed in our house.She hid in the pipes,Ari,how'd she get in there?"She sighed.Having all the rest of the kids on her was also hard on her."How's things going with Dagi?"

"I think she only didn't burst out at everyone cause Winter is in here with her."

"That's good isn't it?"

"Not really, that just means she's going to bottle it up more."

"Oh, so she's like you then?"

"Worse she finds other ways to cope. I think she's drinking again."

"I thought she quit."

"She did when she got pregnant. But she's not pregnant anymore."

"That Dash?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah." I told her.

"The kids alright?"

"Yeah, Sky and Blame are tired but alright, Sparkling is still crying, Tifany is worried about her sister, And Snow is well... she's being Snow.If everything is alright I'm going to go back home and help Dash out."

Adagio sighs."You know what?I'm gonna go pick the rest of them up.You guys dealed with them the whole afternoon.And for only the two of you I'm surprised what happened to Becca was the only thing that happened,Sunset can I take Becca home?"

"Not yet,I want to keep an look on that cut to make sure it doesn't worsens,at least for tonight."

"Ok Winter stays with her."She then turned to Flash and Sonata."And you two can go home but know you two were playing with fire getting Sonata pregnant as soon as she got better.You can go home."

We then left to my house.

"Mom how's Becca?" Tifany asked as soon as we got there.

"She needs to stay at the hospital. You know she almost lost an eye because of you?"

"She's going to be alright tho right?"

"She still might get worse. But that's why your dad is staying with her."

With us being back Dash could finally put Snow down. Once Dash did she ran over. But once she got close Adagio gave her a glare that made her stop. I was right something was wrong.

"Adagio before you go we need to talk." I tell her.

She sighed. "Let me guess something wrong with Sparkling too?"

"Not really, sure she has bad days but had been alright lately."

"Then what we need to talk about?"

"You."

"What do you mean me?" She asked but then a look of realization came across her face. I could tell something was wrong.

"Tell me what's wrong. We can help." I say to her.

"No you can't. No one can." She tells me.

So I was right it's because one of her visions. It can't be about Sonata at least nothing too bad with how she acted. She would have never left Becca if it was about her.

"You know what?" Adagio said. "You keep the kids I'm going out."

She turned to leave but I stepped in front of her.

"I don't think you should." Her going out always meant she was going to go drink."Dash keys now."

Dash threw the keys at me and I locked.

"You left the keys you have to my house with Winter so now you're gonna tell me what you saw."I tell her.

She sighed and shook her head no.

"Can't you at least tell us with who it was?"

"The twins will almost kill Winter,Forced is gonna kill Sky,Sparkling is gonna be with her.And Snow...Snow is gonna get really sick when she's older."She sighs."Winter is gonna be ok,but I feel like Sky is my daughter with how much Sunset leaves them with me and Winter,and I just wished Sunset realized how little time she haves with her daughter.Sparkling is gonna get even more traumatized,but someone saves her couldn't make out who.And the worst one is the about Snow,I'm gonna lose my baby slowly to dementia worser than Sonata's and by what Winter's describes worser than Flower's too."

I hugged Adagio. "Drinking isn't going to help this. And we could try and telling Sunset."

"I'll tell you one I haven't even told Winter. After Sky dies Sunset works even more then she does now. Then she stops taking her heart meds."

"You mean?" I start to ask.

"Yeah. The first real friend I've ever had. She's more like a sister then anything. And nothing I can do."

"You could..."

"What talk to her? Have you ever tried to argue with Sunset? She's as bad as I am. And I can't tell Winter he'll lose it if I do."

"I..I" I don't know what to say.

"Do you see why I drink so much now? Now unlock the door and let me go."

"No.You are sleeping here tonight,you get so lost in your visions Adagio you forget you never see what happens to you.Do you think all this drinking is not gonna drag you down as much as working is dragging Sunset.It's already making you not be the same."I tell her as I hug her."I'm not gonna lose my big sister that raised me,deal?"

Adagio sighed then hugged me back.

"Alright I'll stay. I just wish there was something I could do. It's not fair."

"I know, but we've always found a way through everything."

"When did you become the voice of reason?"

"Some of those lectures you gave me got through."

"About time some of it did." She gave a small laugh.

"I didn't have a lot of choice." I told her with a small laugh."Sooo talking about lectures how the talk with Sonata went?"

"Awful.And turns out our sister this time was better enough to remember to not mention she's ever been pregnant before to Flash on purpose."

"Sony can bend anyone to her will when she's good enough to do it.Always been.All her daughters are the same and this kid will probably be too.Flash's reaction when he realized what she did?"

"Honestly I think he didn't thought Sonata had the smarts to trick him.He seemed even a bit perplexed."

"We tried to worn him not to underestimate her. She might get really bad but she's still a siren."

"But now that Flash knows about Sonata's other kids he'd like to meet them."

"Does he know about your other kids too?"

"Not yet but he'll meet them when we go."

"Other kids?" Dash asked.

"Yeah." I told her. "Sonata had kids before she met Flash. Before we met any of you."

"Did you...um do you have any.."

"No." I told her "Well none of my own but we raised Sonata's."

"But now that Flash knows about them he would like to meet them." Adagio told us."So next time we go see them we'll take him too."

"Can I meet them?" Dash asked.

"Of course." I told her.Then I looked at Adagio. "Does Winter know about them?"

"Yeah he knows about all of them from Arthur to Abby.He knows I'm an grandma already...Thing is he feels uncomfortable with them being so much older than him,closest to his age is Abby and Abby is my granddaughter,he however already chatted with Lilian and Abby on the phone.I also had to tell him because back when I was pregnant from the twins with how bad Becca was,I was...was..."

"Afraid it ended like it did with Ava?Where only Arthur survived."I asked.

She nodded."Such a shame Arthur had a car accident when Abby was 13."

I nodded."Yeah I think he would still be alive by now."

"Hey Ari out of curiousity,how old is Dagi's granddaughter?"

"Abby,is a bit older then Winter I think around 36."

"She's 6 years older than Winter?!"
I nodded.

Dash came to me and held my hand tightly.

"And between all that time you only loved 2 people counting me?"

That's when I took a good look at Dash's eyes.Adagio noticed too.Her eyes were like Harriet's could it...

"Dash."I say."Is there by any chance anyone called Harriet in your family tree?"

"Ummm let me call my mom to ask that one."She said and got up to make the call
I turned to Dagi.

"You saw that too right?"

She nodded:

"I know it's been years but it's impossible Dash is actually related to them right?"
Dash seemed annoyed at the phone.

"Mom I just need to ask something Aria needs to know.I can go there with Sparkling and her other day."She then sighs."Is there anyone I'm related to called Harriet?"

A part of me wanted it to be truth,a part to be a lie,I felt my ground falling from underneath me,her glare was exactly like Harriet's.And if it was the true I don't know how I would react.

"Aria you ok?"I heard Dagi's voice."I know how hard is for you bringing her up."

I didn't move my head yes or no."I-I don't know what to say.Don't know how I'm gonna react."

Dash then came back."So apparently one of my greatgreataunts was called Harriet Dash and I really look like her people said she got in a tragic car accident and never woke up,but after she dated with an girl who never aged she waited for her the rest of her life.People said an day an song played in the house she was,there was a blue light she woke up from the coma then fainted again finally dying this time.Ari was that you?"

And that's when I realized she really looked like Harriet,same eyes,same body,same way of acting.It made sense.
My reaction was strange as the day I last saw Harriet came back to my head.

"Ari?"Dash asked,her voice going away.

"Dash get her water,sirens deal really hard with losing love,and it was her first and discovering you're related to her.I think is too much."She then shook me."Aria!"

I started getting dizzy.Am I gonna really faint over this?

"Aria!"I hear two voices at the same time as everything goes black.

Rainbow Dash's POV

I reached out to catch Aria. I must have used my magic without realizing it because Adagio seemed surprised I was able to get to her as fast as I did.

"Aria!" I shouted trying to wake her up."What's wrong with her?" I asked Adagio.

Adagio checked her. "She's going to be alright she just fainted. Let's put her on the couch, she'll wake up in a few minutes." We laid her on the couch.

"Am I really related to her?" I asked still not believing it.

"It looks like it." Adagio told me." And I haven't noticed it till now but you look like her."

"Really?"

"Well yes and no. You've seen old pictures of Granny Smith right? And how Apple Bloom looks like her but not at the same time? That, you won't see it if you're not looking for it. But now I see it I can't unsee it."

I can't believe it. How is this possible?

Before I can say anything else Aria starts to wake up. I take her hand.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Head hurts but I think I'm alright." She told me. "Didn't mean to worry you. It's just I I wasn't expecting anything like this."

"How is this possible?"

"It's a small world Dashie. I just can't believe I didn't notice it sooner."She sighed."You look a lot like her now that I saw it.I think it was a bit too much for me realizing the only two people I loved are actually related."

"Is that good?"

"Hey Dash."She catches my hand and kisses me."I loved Harriet for who she was,and at the same time you two might have your similarities you're also different and I love you for who you are.I'm just surpised that's all."

"I know why she fainted."Adagio says."Aria only used her positive siren powers once to wake Harriet up to be able to say goodbye.And her gem did glow a slight blue before fainting."

"Good siren powers?" I asked.

"You know our power comes from emotions right?"

"Yeah and you have to feed on them too right?" I asked.

"Yeah, but have you noticed I haven't needed to feed sense we've been together?" Aria asked.

"Now that you mention it yeah I do."

"That's because positive feelings give you more and actually satisfy you. And the magic it lets you do is a lot stronger."

"Why don't you ever use it?"

"You have to be truly happy to use it. And I've never gotten over Harriet. But now I think I finally am, or at least I finally feel I can get over it.I'll have to show you what I can really do sometime,I think my siren speed goes foot to foot with your superspeed."

"I doubt it."

Soon the day ended and now both me and Aria knew a lot about each other and what was gonna happen.

I just hope Dagi's visions envolving Sparkling didn't happen that soon.
