Spike was currently in his living room with Garble. They were both sitting in chairs that could rock back and forth and we're brown coloured. Spike was currently smoking a cigarette, trying to calm his nerves down. They had walked back to Spike’s house after the revelation. Spike was in complete and total shock though. His legs were on the shaking and his right hand was gripping the cigarette a little too tightly while his left arm and hand rested on the left side of the armrest.

Garble looked over to Spike who looked like he had been told Santa Clause did not exist. Garble decided to break the silence, he needed Spike to talk to him, ever since Spike heard Mirei Park he has looked into nothingness.

When they were walking back to Spike’s place, they had been jumped by some street thugs but Spike paid them no heed and best them all up in an instant, he looked like he did not care one bit either.

”Spike–San, do you know Park–San? Ever since you heard the name, you have almost not responded to anything.” Garble explained, his arms on the armrest and sitting like a king almost as he stared to the far left where Spike was sitting.

At first, Spike did not know how to respond. He did know her indeed. He wasn’t sure how he would explain it to Garble. His companion on all of this seems to have practically shut off any sort of emotion. Of course, he would do so himself. He knew that it wasn’t truly Sparkle’s fault for the death of his mother, but it was easier to blame her. He had an aching feeling that maybe Garble would do the same.

”Yes, I do indeed know her,” Spike began, but before Garble could ask how he knew her, Spike continued. ”She is my Godmother.”

The Dazzlings we're immensely worried for Spike. They had seen him beating that Hooligan up and nearly killing him. Of course, they knew he had his way of venting his frustrations but they were worried he would end up in prison. They could not go on without him. He had such a delightful impact on them.

How they had seen that was because they had been trying to find him and talk to him about what happened. But when they saw Garble there with Spike, they knew that Spike would be relatively okay.

They were currently in their house. Sonata was cooking dinner and was going to invite Spike over and Garble. The three sirens knew that those two needed support in whatever they were going to do.

Aria was on the living room couch, looking at the fire she lit. She was usually never one to show emotion, but when it came to Spike, she was different. She allowed tears to run down her face, not caring if her sisters saw her or not. She needed to allow her emotions to go. She could not contain it. Just then, Adagio walked inside and saw Aria crying with her hands covering her face.

Adagio was looking at Aria from the doorway and Aria was to the left from Adagio’s view. The colours on the walls seemed more depressing and soothed them in a way they could not fully understand. Adagio moved silently towards Aria, sitting down beside her sister and higher her from the right.

Aria slowly lowered her hands and saw Adagio there with her gentle eyes on her. Aria hugged back and cried into her older sisters’ shoulders. She allowed it all to go. Adagio patted and massages her younger sisters’ back, trying to soothe her. ”There, there.” Adagio gently said, her hands caressing her aggressive younger sister.

When Aria had no more tears left to cry, she left the comfort of her sister and looked away in shame. She was supposed to be the sister who did not show emotion and here she was, crying her eyes out over the dragon she wanted to spend her life with. Sirens had a specific mate, they can feel the scent of their mate and when they find them, they don’t want to let go. Spike felt a similar tug from what Adagio could see. She wasn’t sure though.

”Do you want to tell me what has made you so emotional?” Adagio asked in a gentle voice that made Aria’s heavy breathing cease. She looked at her sister who had a look of wonder on her face, one that held no malice or evil intent. Aria looked away in shame. She then felt a hand on her right shoulder and she looked again and saw the pleading eyes of Adagio. Aria sighed.

”Wh–when we were out looking for Spike and saw him beat up that Hooligan, I saw something in his eyes that I recognize.” Aria’s had stuttered a little in the beginning, her legs shaking and her red eyes gave away fear.

Adagio frowned at the fear, what was Aria afraid of? So, Spike nearly killed a Hooligan it was probably natural for him to do so. Why was Aria so afraid?

”Can you explain what it was you saw in his eyes?” Adagio gently asked, hoping that she could understand the situation better. Aria hesitated, her eyes were on the Tv that was off, her hands were on her thighs clenched into fists but not hard enough to do damage.

”He had a look that I have had for a very long time: the look of wanting to die...” Aria finished above a whisper. Adagio’s mind was racing. Adagio’s purple hoodie and jeans looked like they had paled along with her face. She looked... words could not suffice to explain what she looked like she was feeling.

There was tense silence, Aria was afraid that Adagio would be angry at her, maybe her older sister would kick her out? Or maybe she would do something worse? She maybe would tell Spike and it would then turn out that she was wrong and then Spike–

”How long?” Adagio’s voice held concern for her sister. Aria didn’t answer, she did not want to answer. She would only be judged by her sister and she did not want that. She could not take that, she needed support though. Adagio could see the battle the conflict that Aria had within her head and did not pressure her.

”After we lost the Battle Of The Bands. I was in a bad place, our pendants were destroyed and we had to buy new one’s. I wanted revenge, I thought we were gonna die, those types of pendants are almost impossible to find. I did not realize that we would be saved by Seaquestria even though we are from there. We were known for causing havoc in some way there.” Aria explained her reasoning. Adagio gave Aria a soft smile and hugged her, wanting to show her that she is loved and won’t be judged.

”Do you still feel suicidal?” Adagio carefully asked, wanting to make sure that her younger sister won’t attempt anything. Aria shook her head but did not meet Adagio’s gaze which made Adagio realize that Aria tried to lie. She wasn’t angry, she knew what Aria must be thinking. ’If I say ’yes’ then I will be on suicide watch.’

”Okay... do you think that you could help Spike if that is the case?” Adagio wasn’t sure if Aria would be up for it considering she had her problems but Aria’s eyes widened and she took a while to respond. She was not sure that she could handle it as Spike was more about controlling his emotions which seemed to work for him.

”I don’t know, he usually controls his emotions so perhaps he isn’t necessarily suicidal, but the way he was fighting... he was trying to vent his frustrations.” Aria knew that much, Spike was fighting and hitting the Hooligan in a way that he got his frustrations out and be known to others. Adagio frowned a little, she could help Spike with his frustrations if that was the case.

Aria noticed the look on Adagio’s face and sighed in half annoyance. Did her sister not think about anything else other than sex?! ”Adagio, you do realize that not everything can be solved with sex, right?” Adagio groaned at Aria. Now they were the typical sister that they usually were.

”Of course everything can be solved with lust! I can walk over there and ease his frustrations.” Adagio confidently said, making Aria raise a brow at her and stood up from the couch and faced her sister.

”And get pregnant? He most likely does not have condoms you know.” Aria said, making Adagio look at her and a smile broke on her face that turned into a huge white grin.

”Well, I do indeed want children you know!” Aria huffed at Adagio who was now laughing to the point of tears. Adagio finished laughing and got up from the couch and walked over to her sister who was subtly glaring at her.

”Aria, I was only partly joking. Anyways, shall we see if Sonata is finished?” Adagio asked making Aria nod. If it meant that she got away from the previous depressing conversation, then she would do so.

They walked into the kitchen where the aroma of well-cooked meat was. Sonata was over the frying pan cooking a steak. There was a door that leads into the kitchen that was to the far left. When you enter the kitchen, there is a door to the right that leads to a backyard and the left wall was a table with chairs. In the middle was a whole kitchen sink, cabinets, a stove that was hissing from all the cooking that Sonata was doing. The kitchen desks were made from marble stone that was wine red with hints of black and green.

Sonata turned her head to the new faces and smiled. ”Hello Ari, Dagi. Have you asked Spike–Chan and Akiyama–San?”

Adagio shook her head. ”No, we haven’t but I'll go unless if Aria wants to go?” She looked at Aria who blushed lightly at the prospect of going to her mates house and just asking if he is interested to come for dinner.

”Uh, yeah! I’ll go...” Her voice failed her and Adagio grinned at Aria who was now trying to glare but it was hard to take seriously with the blush on her face. Aria grumbled as she walked out of the kitchen and headed to the front door and walked out. Adagio snickered a little bit. Sonata only giggled.

Garble stared at Spike with wide eyes. His Godmother? He was not aware that he had a Godmother at all. He knew that he potentially had one, but not that it would be someone that was related to Blush–San. He was not angry at Spike of course, how could Spike know about that piece of information?

”Akiyama–San I had no idea who Blush–San’s mother was, but do not blame me for this, alright? I am as upset as you over her murder.” Spike stated and started thinking about why Blush–San was so afraid of him. She is his Godsister like his other one, Haruka Sawamura. But he never knew about Blush–San. Perhaps she was not close to her mother? Could be, but if he knew Park–Chan right, she would not allow her daughter to be seen as a failure by anyone.

”Spike–San, you know I would not blame you for something like that. We had no idea what would happen if we found the loan shark, anything could have come out of his mouth, anything at all. Right now, we need to look for more puzzles.” Garble said, pulling out his phone and making a call to some creature.

There was a knock on the front door and Spike grabbed his baseball bat and walked into the hallway. He checked through the peek hole and opened the door with a huge smile when he saw that it was one of his potential mates. Aria was wearing her purple hoodie and soft pants that were red. She was wearing yellow sneakers.

”Aria! Welcome! Come here!” Spike said, hugging her. She would have stiffened but his touch felt right for her. It was as if she knew subconsciously that this was the right creature for her. She hugged him back and they were in an embrace.

They heard Garble in the living room talking to someone in Neighpanese but they gave him his space. ”Spike–Chan, my sisters and I were wondering if you and Akiyama–San would be interested in dinner? Sonata has made some steak.” Aria was hopeful that Spike would say yes, but when she looked into his eyes she could see some inner conflict he was having. He then flashed her a huge smile.

”Why of course, Aria. I am starving and I am sure that Akiyama is hungry. Even if he wasn’t I would have still taken him to some ramen place or something. I won’t be throwing punches on an empty stomach.” Spike said, ending the hug. Aria giggled a little and felt happy that she and her sister would spend time with Spike.

”Shall we walk there together? It sounds like Akiyama is ending his call right now.” Aria nodded and they heard footsteps and they turned to see Garble in all his glory. He flashed Aria a smile.

”Hello miss Dazzle. I believe that it is your last name at least.” Garble said mostly to himself but Aria smiled at him and nodded. She knew that Garble was trying to soothe his ache for what he lost. It was understandable, everyone grieves differently.

”Oi, Akiyama–San, Aria and her sisters want to have us for dinner. You will be coming whether you want to or not. You need to eat.” Spike said, leaving no room for argument. Garble chuckled and shook his head at Spike’s antics. Spike could act as a true Yakuza Patriarch sometimes.

”Food sounds lovely, lead the way, Aria.” Aria smiled and she leads them to their house after Spike closed and locked the door. He still brought his baseball bat. Like father, like son...

Spike truly cherished that baseball bat, he loved hitting creatures with it. He got a few surprised looks from time to time though. The walk to the house of the sirens was uneventful, Spike had no one to annoy but Garble and he did just that, making Aria giggle at some of the things that Spike was saying.

”So I took the loan shark by his head and I banged him against the wall and then I threw him out the window where he landed on a truck that belonged to some large grocery store. I then walled out as if nothing happened.” Spike concluded one of his many stories of when he lived in Sotenbori.

Aria laughed while Garble huffed in annoyance. It wasn’t that he disliked the story, but it was because Spike had failed to realize that the loan shark wasn’t a loan shark, it had been Garble who was there trying to find a loan shark. Spike knew very well the real reason but he loved to annoy Garble as he was the one who took the longest to irritate.

Aria opened the door to their house and she took off her shoes and Spike and Garble did the same. Spike looked around and was amazed by the beauty of their home. Garble looked amazed, himself. The home truly felt welcoming but that could be because they are welcome there.

Aria then leads them to the kitchen where Adagio and Sonata was waiting. Adagio immediately goes up to Spike and hugs him and Sonata did the same. Garble just stood there grinning at Spike like a mad person. He was also trying his best to hide his sorrow.

”Hello Spike–Chan, we made some food for you and Akiyama. We hope you enjoy it!” Sonata said in a cute voice, her eyes as big as a puppy’s. Spike always loved those innocent eyes of Sonata, that is what keeps him going most days.

”It will be delicious Sonata.” Spike said, giving her a peck on the lips. She grinned dumbly and ordered them to take a seat so they did. Spike sat like a king, overseeing most of the creatures there. Adagio was to his close right, their hands almost touching each other. To Adagio’s right sat Garble and to Garble’s right was Ario and then there was Sonata. They ate their steaks in silence.

Adagio looked at Spike who had a crazy look in his eye. He still wore the eye patch for whatever reason. She shrugged it off. She then used her left foot to touch Spike suggestively. Spike took a sip of his beer and looked at her with a slight smirk gracing his red lips. Adagio smirked for herself.

Spike looked at Garble who was eating but kept glancing at his phone. Spike looked at him but Garble seemed to be in his own, world. Spike then decided to start a conversation at the table to help Garble think about something else.

”Garble, who did you call earlier? I remembered you calling someone. Is of related to the case?” Spike was curious. Garble at first looked confused and then he nodded in understanding. He took a sip from his beer and looked at Spike.

”I called your father, I wanted to tell him about the death of Blush–San and give it to Park–San.” Garble explained making Spike facepalm at his stupidity. He could have called his father, no, he should have called his father the second he found out about the mother of Blush–San. Spike looked a little sheepish, usually, Spike does his own thing and doesn’t bother anyone else and then when he should do it, he forgets it like a goldfish.

Adagio looked confused. ”Who is Park–San?” She asked, wanting to know who the creature was. The other two sirens looked at Spike.

”Park–San is the mother of Blush–San and my Godmother who I had no idea had a daughter.” Spike explained taking a long gulp of beer. Adagio and Aria looked at each other and shrugged. It wasn't their concern of what Spike told them and did not tell them. He was still pretty new to the friendship or relationship they had with him.

”So, you have a Godmother?” Sonata asked, wanting it to be clarified. Spike nodded with a grin towards the puppy-eyed siren. Garble’s phone then started ringing and Garble immediately answered.

”Moshi Moshi?” Spike listened intently to what would be spoken. The sirens also stopped eating so they could hear what was being said. The sirens had been thought by Sonata about speaking and reading. They were medium level but could without a doubt understand native speakers conversation.

”Akiyama–San watashi wa anata ni keikoku o ataeru tame ni denwa o shimashita.” (Akiyama–San I have called to give you a warning). The voice on the phone spoke. Spike did not recognize the voice. From the looks of it, Garble didn’t either.

”Nani ni tsuite watashi ni keikoku shimasu ka?” Garble quickly asked. (Warn me about what?) Spike was almost on the edge of his seat. He wanted to grasp all the information that he could.

”Burasshu no jiken no chōsa I yame nasai.” (Stop investigating Blushs’ case.) Then the creature on the other end hung up, not giving Garble a chance to ask why. Spike was gripping the knife in his right hand intently. Why would someone call Garble and demand he stops investigating the murder of his creature friend? Something wasn’t adding up.

Garble looked angry. His creature friend gets murdered and then whoever that was calling him after he and Spike beat a loan shark up calls and tells him to stop investigating the case. The air around him swirled dangerously, making it look like it would lash out. He gripped the phone hard but did not lash out. He calmly put it down on the table and took a sip of his beer.

”Akiyama, shall we continue the investigation?” Spike’s voice held the billion yen question.

Garble turned to look at Spike. Marble was grateful that Spike was his companion in all of this, he did not want to do this alone and he couldn’t even if he wanted to. Spike is a very useful ally. Spike did not have the same care as others had and not the same morals either.

”Yes.” Garble responded.

Spike was currently on his way to school. It had been a while since he last was there, well, two days to be exact. The school was only open half day as the police did not want the students to bother them while they investigated. Spike agreed to that, he did not want to be around cops more than he had to. Spike was wearing his uniform and had his backpack with him along with his baseball bat.

He walked through the front doors of the school and went straight for his locker. The police had been watching him on the school grounds and a little bit outside of school but he had paid them off. At least those who were corruptible. His locker was located near the music room and he headed there.

The dinner had been quiet afterwards but when he left the Dazzlings, he could see that they were very... touchy. It was as if they did not want him to leave and to be fair, he did not want to leave either, although, he did not want other students that lived there to get the wrongs ideas. If it reached the Principals ears, he would not hear the end of it.

Garble had thanked for the food and left the Dazzlings’ home and went to his office in Canterlot. He had been in his thoughts since the phone call. He seemed more distant than usual. He also looks quite angry, hopefully, he got to release it on some street punks. Spike saw his locker to the right and opened it, intending to get a book that he needed and had forgotten about in school.

He then heard voices come from the music room. Beautiful music, like a siren...

He looked through the window on the door to his right and saw that his friends and maybe something more were singing a beautiful melody. It was mesmerizing but he did not get controlled. When the Battle Of The Bands happened, he was not controlled. He just did what he always did, walked through the school day while he was not bullied.

~Welcome to the show!~

Spike smiled as he walked away. Adagio made him feel like he was worth something and also that he should not be afraid of love. Aria makes him feel stronger than he needs to and always believe in himself. Sonata made him feel like a kid again, right before he lost his mother. He smiled as he thought about them. His life truly had changed.

He then heard someone shout his name from behind. He looked and saw that it was Sunset Shimmer. Spike groaned but gave her a smile that made her want to punch him. It was not a pleasant smile but it did sort of mock her in a way. She couldn’t explain it.

”Why hello, Shimmer, what can I do for you today?” Spike had a sense of arrogance in his tone. He looked at her with a smile, again, making Sunset want to Punch it right off him.

”Majima, are you investigating the murder of Wallflower?” The question sounded more like a statement, but Spike just found the situation funny. He looked at her and saw that she had a fire in her eyes. One that Spike almost clapped his hands for.

”And what if I am? It does not exactly concern you and you did not even realize she existed until a while ago like me.” Spike had a bit of accusation in his tone. The green lockers seemed to become a shade darker as the purple and white walls darkened as well. Sunset had her arms crossed and glared at Spike.

”Are you trying to find out the murder of your Godsister or not?” She asked hotly.
