Equestria Girls: Remembering Your Names
Chapter 1: Starting The Day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTen years later
It was dark out still because the morning dawn wasn't here yet. A small town was peacefully asleep as the sun was ready to rise in a few hours.
On a long road entering the town, a beat-down car slowly drives down the road, pulling a moving trailer. The car keeps going down the long road until it stops. It stops before a large welcome sign that reads, "Welcome to Cantorlot Town."
The driver's door opens, and a middle-aged Spanish man steps out.
"Here we are mis hijas! To our new homes!" declared the man as he opened the passenger door.
Out stepped three teen figures.
"Go near the sighs, mis hijas! I want to take a picture." said the man.
Two of the three teens groaned and did as he asked. The tallest just smiled as she followed her sisters over to the sign; she stuck to them like glue, like she didn't want to leave their side.
The shortest sister had purple hair and was dressed in long pigtails. She hated how her father took pictures all the time.
"Why did papi have to get a job here? We could have stayed back in Mom's town!"
"It was for his career, sis." replied the tall one. Who hugged her nagging sister with great love, but her poor sister had a face full of big breasts. "He wants to make a name for himself, and the best place for him is here. Plus, this town will have many boys, right, papi?"
Their father was still looking for his phone inside the car and answered them.
"sí sí! A lot of boys..." he stopped looking and popped his head from the opened window. "But no boys will touch mi hijas! No dating until you're married!"
Both the sisters groaned. The one with a faceful of breasts finally freed herself.
"Maldita sea, Sonata! I swear your breast is going to kill me one day!" shouted the sister as she fixed her hair.
Sonata pressed her breast with her black sweater paws and giggled. "I can't help that I'm a growing woman, Aria."
The sister, Aria, wore a brown jacket, crossed her arms, and frowned as she looked down her own chest. Her chest was big, but she hated how her younger sister was much larger.
"I'm older than you, so how come I'm smaller!?"
"Because I'm a growing woman. Right, papi!" cheered Sonata, waving at her father, who just did a thumbs up, not really listening to them.
"Oh shut up!" shouted Aria, turning around to face her older sister, who just turned her back to them. The oldest wore a green jacket with different flower patterns and black yoga pants. Aria looked down and clutched her fist in rage. "Sonata is top heavy, and you, Adagio! You-you-..."
"You, WHAT?" coldly said Adagio, slightly eyeing Aria, the middle sister, over her shoulder.
Aria realized she had stepped over the line, and her eyes widened in fear. Adagio's yellow eyes were sharp as knives. They pierced through her very soul.
"I-I mean, you're not-"
"She's calling your culo grande!" shouted Sonata, laughing.
Adagio quickly turned around and stared at Sonata. "My ass is not big!"
"Oh yes, it is," whispered Aria, hating how her sisters had great features while she didn't.
"Your ass is huge, Princesa." said her dad, who could be heard laughing inside the car.
"Papi!" shouted Adagio, blushing.
"Don't papi me, mis hijas. I'm surprised that culo doesn't have its own gravity!" he laughed, and all the girls laughed.
Adagio was getting angry and embarrassed.
"I HATE ALL OF YOU!"
All the laughter stopped when loud coughing could be heard from the car. Making all three daughters worried.
"Papi!?" shouted Adagio as she was about to run to the car.
"I'm fine, don't worry, your pretty little head, Princesa." he coughed a little. "Just the dust from the road."
All the sisters breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared us, Papi," said Aria. "The doctors told you not to overexert yourself."
"Sí sí, I'll rest after we get settled in our new home." He looked at his girls, feeling proud that he had three beautiful daughters.
"Mis hijas, every day I look at you three, I see your wonderful mamá."
The girls smiled, thinking of their deceased mother.
"We will never forget her, papa," said Sonata, and the other two nodded.
He smiled, returned to looking for his phone, and even started cursing in nonstop Spanish when he couldn't find it.
"¿¡donde esta ese maldito telefono!? ¡Maldita puta, siempre perdiéndolo!"
The three sisters laughed.
"You're going to find it, Papi," said Adagio as she turned around and returned to the sign. She looked up at it and then overlooked the town itself. She smiled evilly as her eyes dimly glowed. She was going to do her evil laugh but was stopped when she felt Sonata bumping into her from the back. She turned her head, but unlike how she did with Aria, she gave Sonata a warm smile.
She could see Sonata on edge as if she needed to be near someone. Adagio was used to her always wanting to be with her ever since they came to this universe through that magic mirror. Sonate was an airhead, but ever since that day, she had become like this, having autophobia. She could never be alone for even a minute.
"Adagio, are you sure about this plan?" whispered Sonata, looking down. "What if-"
"No what ifs, Sonata. Remember, this is a different world. A whole different world without magic, but not here." She turned back to the town. She could sense it. "Here, in this town. Where that mirror came from, there is a source of magic, and we will find it." She started to look evil; the same goes for Sonata as she did a creepy smile. Aria joined them, smiling.
"We will find this magical source and make it ours." declared Adagio as she stepped forward and pictured herself wearing a beautiful red flamenco dress with her hands raised above her, commanding an army of mind-control town folks as she drained them of their life force and held it in her hands with her sisters, who were also wearing the same dress. "Make it to protect our greatest gift that we found in this human world."
All three girls held their hands in the air, taking a dancer's pose. Spanish magic could be heard as they were going to sing, but it stopped like a record player needle scratching across the record. All the girls snapped out of their fantasy as their father approached them. He finally got the phone.
"Okay, mis hijas! Take a group photo with each other!"
The three sisters moved close to each other, and Adagio and Aria posed, but Sonata, who was between them, pulled them into a shoulder hug.
"Sonata, let go!" shouted Adagio, annoyed that she wasn't going with her pose.
"Nope!"
"Fine." sighed Adagio.
"Hurry up, mi amors! The phone battery is dying! Smile already!"
"Alright, alright," said Aria, and all three girls smiled for the photo.
"Say Cheese!" shouted their father.
"Cheese!" said the three sisters as their father took the photo.
The dark bedroom was filled with books and posters of famous running athletes. Next sat a desk with a high-end computer and a small trophy for winning the science fair. Dashie sat at the desk, typing away on her computer and writing down the data that was given to her from her grandmother and her grandmother's pony counterpart's research.
"The Element of Magic. A powerful magical item that banishes away evil or evil magic when all six Elements are gathered." She said to herself, the bright white screen glowing off her face. "A powerful source of magic, not only is it magic, but it also gives the one with the Element the ability to wield its magic. My real grandparents, Nightfall and Rainbow Sky, were fused with those Elements, becoming living magical bio-weapons in their universe. My mom and her twin sister had traces of the Elements, thanks to feeding off their sister and my aunt, Spark." She looked over to a photo on the desk, seeing her aunty holding her when she was young. "Who created her own Element and gave Aunty Braver the combined pieces of the Element of Harmony, destroyed as the bearers fused with them failed and scatted into pieces. Aunty Braver has that combined core, thanks to being an Alicorn and..." She stopped as her expression became disgusted. "...part slime. The Elements didn't hurt... No, I stand corrected. Being half Alicorn allowed her to have a mana system like all Equestrians, allowing the Element to be safe in her body. When she was still 100% slime, the magical toxin from the Element couldn't hurt her as Slimes can regen and heal itself." She stopped and yawned.
Dashie had pulled an all-nighter while writing her report on what can cause magical toxins in humans.
She returned to typing. "My mom is 50% slime, as when she fed off Aunty Spark's magic, she was able to take in my grandparents' DNA and make the other 50% Equestrian. Because of that, the magical toxin doesn't affect her body." She stopped again and felt so tired. She wanted to sleep, but she needed to finish this report. She turned to the dresser and could see it—the Element of Magic, contained inside a glass case.
Dashie stood up and walked over to it. She looked into it, seeing the magical purple orb that was the Element of Magic. She could feel its energy. It was the Element that killed her grandmother, Twilah. She hated it, but she needed it. She needed to find a cure for a magical toxin. That's why she needs it.
"Grandma, I failed in saving you, but all I can least do is finish what I promised you." She looked over and saw a photo of herself and her grandma hugging as they smiled at the camera. "I will find a cure for this toxin."
She felt herself falling, and her vision became blurry.
"Oh, I'm going to regret this. Not sleeping..."
She collapsed on the floor, asleep...not seeing the purple cloak figure standing over her...
A few hours later
As Dashie slept on the bedroom floor, the morning dawn appeared through the blinds and slowly crept up her body, lighting the back of her head. She turned around, her face facing the sun. Slowly, she woke up and was blinded by the sunlight. She slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"That's going to be a crick in my neck later," she said, cracking her neck.
Dashie stood up, went to her bed, and jumped in. She was going to fall asleep, but she could hear her mother yelling from downstairs.
"DASHIE!? BREAKFAST IS READY! GET READY FOR YOUR FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL!"
She sighed. "Okay, okay, mom. I'm getting up!"
Dashie sat up and yawned. She got her clothes, a blue T-shirt with runner leggings and shoes, for school and walked to the bathroom out in the hall. But as she walked away, the morning light hit the glass case that held the Element of Magic and created a rainbow. A rainbow covered Dashie's back, making it look like she was leaving behind a rainbow trail.
Downstairs, in the kitchen, Blitz, wearing her gym uniform as a gym teacher for Cantorlot High, was setting the plate of food on the table. Even though she's a middle-aged woman, she somehow still looks young. She even looked like a splitting image of her mother, Dashiell, just having super short hair and no longer having a black stripe in her rainbow hair. In fact, most of her rainbow-colored hair has been replaced by purple.
"Dashie! Hurry up!" shouted Blitz, waiting at the table for her daughter.
"I'm coming, Mom! Sheesh!"
Blitz chuckled when she heard her daughter. It made her happy. She walked to the stink and started to clean her hands. She could hear her daughter walking in and sitting at the table.
"Well, well, looked who finally got her lazy butt up."
"I'm not lazy, Mom," said Dashie, starting to eat her breakfast. "Just dead tired from the report."
Blitz turned around and leaned on the counter. "What did I and Lucy tell you? It would be best if you stopped doing all-nighters. You can ask S.P.I.K.E to write them for you, you know?" She looked up. "Right, Spike?"
A robotic voice was heard coming from a speaker above them.
"Of course, Blitz. I would be more than happy to write the reports for Dashie. Dashie should be getting eight hours of sleep."
"See, even Spike agrees. Now, why can't you accept his help?"
"Because, mom. It's something that I have to do alone."
"Why?" asked Blitz.
Dashie slammed her fist into the table. "You know why!"
Blitz sighed with sadness and disappointment in seeing her daughter like this. She pulled up a chair and sat near her.
"You can't keep blaming yourself for what happened to-"
"I know, Mom. It's just-... I promised her." Dashie played with her cooked scrambled eggs. "I promised her that I would find a cure for magical toxin, and I would not give up. Not until I find it."
Blitz could see how determined her daughter was. "Dashie, I know you want to find the cure, and I will help you with all my heart. But, please, don't work yourself to the bone. It will kill you." She sighed loudly, and they looked to the other side of the table, seeing her wife, Lucy, this universe, Luster Dawn, sleeping at the table and surrounded by art-related things and her laptop for writing. "And I don't need you being like your manga artist mother over there."
"...she's behind her deadline again?"
"Yup, but at least she's getting her work done. She's been working on her new manga for a week now. She's on the last page for the next chapter release."
"Wow, a whole week," said Dashie, a little surprised that her mother had been working nonstop. But she always wondered something about that. 'What manga does mom draw anyway?"
Blitz blushed hard and told her when she was older, she would explain. She got up before Dashie could ask what she meant by that.
"Finish your eggs, and we can pick up your sisters. Remember? Today, they are starting high school as freshmen."
"Oh, yeah. Forgot about them."
Blitz frowned, crossing her arms. "I wish you were more caring about them. You three are sisters, yet you never want to talk or hang out with them."
Dashie stopped playing with her eggs. "Yeah, well, if they weren't such siscons, maybe I could hang out with them." She ate the last of her eggs and looked at her mom. "I wish you understood what I have to deal with."
Blitz had what many would call war flashbacks with her own sisters as she stared out to nothingness, and in a deadpan tone, she answered her daughter.
"I do. Trust me. I do."
Dashie chuckled and drank her juice. "Well, whatever. I'm done. Let's...go?" Dashie could see her mom sensing something. She sighed as she knew what that meant. "Something is happening in town, and you need to be Rainbow Comet, the superhero, right?"
Blitz turned around. "Sorry, Dashie. It looks like you gotta pick them up." She could see how disappointed her daughter was. Blitz transformed into her anthro form, looking like Rainbow Dash but with short and more purple hair. "Don't worry, Sunset will be with you. She will keep Sol in check!" Blitz hurried to the backdoor and opened it. "I'll catch you in gym class!" Blitz closed the door and flew off, leaving Dashie alone.
Dashie finished her juice and grabbed her backpack. She was about to leave when Lucy woke, thanks to the backdoor slamming shut from Blitz's small sonic boom.
"W-What? What time is it?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Mom, it's already morning," answered Dashie.
"Morning!? No, no, no! I still need to draw the next page!" Lucy panicked, hurried through her pages, and then looked at her laptop.
Dashie could only giggle at the sight and walked to the front door, but she stopped when she heard her mother's voice.
"Have a wonderful first day at school, sweetie!"
"Thanks, Mom. Love you."
"I love you too, sweetie! But oh, before I forget!" Dashie sighed, knowing what her mother was going to ask. "Please try to make friends. Okay?"
Dashie shook her head. "I don't have time to make friends, Mom! I need all the time to live up to my grandparents' names!" She turned around and saw her mom in the kitchen doorway. "You and Mom named me after them, didn't you? Dashiell 'Twilah' Reinbold."
"Well, yes but-"
"Then I need to live up to those names! Be the best runner in the world! As well as the smartest person in the world! Just like..." Lucy felt her heart break as she saw her daughter still hadn't let go of her grandma's death. "Like Grandma. I promised her, and I will keep it, and I can't do that by making friends!" She opened and closed the door and left, leaving Lucy all alone.
"Oh, Dashie."
Lucy walked to the table and returned to do her work. She picked up her pen, and with a pervy smile, she could see a blue anthro Pegasus, a black slime Alicorn, and a violet anthro Alicorn, all enacting the loving act of love with each other. "Can't wait for my readers to enjoy this new hentai of Rainbow Comet and her sisters!" She started to draw away passionately. "This will be amazing, especially with all the new kinks I'll introduce in this chapter. Oh, it's going to be beautiful!"
When she said this, Blitz, who was now trying to catch a stolen bank van, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill.
"Someone is talking about me, isn't they?"
Meanwhile, inside a dark bedroom, this universe, Sunset, known as Sunny, slept. She was asleep in her bed, drooling all over her pillow, but suddenly, her bedroom door was kicked open.
"MOM! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED! BIG SIS IS COMING!"
Sunny flipped around in her bed, ignoring her daughter's cries, and started to sleep talk.
"Just five more minutes."
"NO! GET UP! NOW!"
Before Sunny could say anything, Sol, her daughter's eyes, started to glow, and soon, a magical, see-through, glowing yellow horn could be seen on her forehead. Sol used her magic to lift her mother up in the air and slammed her into the floor with a loud thud, waking her up.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Damn it, Sol, why must you use magic?"
"Because I have to get you up! Now hurry up and get ready! Dashie will be here any minute now!"
"Alright, alright. Just give me a moment, okay? Let me wake up, get ready, and we'll go when she gets here."
Sol walked away, mumbling, and returned to her bedroom. Her tough and rough attitude quickly changed as she skipped to the mirror and checked herself out. She wore a black jacket with a short blue dress, and underneath that dress were blue jeans and black boots. Sol smiled as she liked the outfit.
"Perfect! This is the perfect way to get my big sister to notice me!"
But before she could continue admiring herself, Sunny walked past the door in her unicorn anthro form. She was using her magic to brush her hair but made a quick jab at her loving daughter.
"Oh, she will notice you alright! With your annoying ass self!"
"HEY!" Sol glared at her mother, who laughed as she disappeared from the hall. "That's not nice, Mom! If anyone is annoying, it's your damn snoring! That's what keeps us awake most of the night!" She looked back at the mirror, becoming her cute and girly stuff again. "At least grandma is free from your snoring since she took that vacation with her new man! She can get some sleep, and maybe she won't return." With a smile, she left her bedroom.
Outside, Dashie was walking down the sidewalk. She had her earbuds in and was listening to music, and she was not looking forward to taking her sisters to school.
"Well, like mom said. At least Sunny will be with us. She did start working at Cantorlot High as a musical teacher. So, that's a plus."
She was getting close to her sister's house. She stopped in front of it. She needed a moment before she went in.
"Alright, Dashie. All you have to do is take them to school, and hopefully, Sunny can keep Sol in check."
She took a deep breath and walked towards the front door. She rang the doorbell, and not a second pass as the door blew off its hinges and fell on top of Dashie, pinning her to the ground.
"BIG SIS! YOU ARE HERE! YOU MADE IT!" shouted Sol, her see-through horn glowing. But she noticed that dear sister wasn't around as she kept looking. "Big sis? Where are you?" She thought someone was ding dong ditching her. "ASSHOLES! IF I FIND YOU, YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!"
"Sol," said Sunny, appearing behind her daughter. She was wearing a tan jacket with an orange sundress underneath it. "What have I said about using magic at the door?"
Sol tsk loudly and across her arms. "To not use it because you could hurt someone...tsk, like I care."
Sunny rolled her eyes and pointed to the door on the ground.
"You should care because you crushed Dashie underneath the door."
Sol's eyes widened, and she turned around, seeing her sister lying there.
"Oops," she said in a flat tone.
"Oh, you oops alright," said Sunny, returning to her anthro form. She used her magic to lift the door and free Dashie.
"Ow," said Dashie, sitting up. She removed her headphones and could hear her little sister's annoying voice.
"Sorry, big sis! I thought it was a ding-dong-ditch."
Dashie rolled her eyes and got up.
"It's okay, Sol. I'm o-ugh..." She grunted as Sol used her magic to lift her and tossed her into the air, and then Sol ran up and caught her in a big hug. "Let go of me, Sol."
"Never! You're not going anywhere!"
"I need to breathe, you know. The human body needs oxygen."
Sol ignored her and continued hugging her sister. Sunny smiled and walked over to stop her daughter from acting like always when she was near Dashie.
"Sol, be a good girl and let her go. Besides, she can't comment on your outfit if she's dead."
"Good point." Sol dropped her sister and let her fall on the floor like a rock.
Dashie got up and dusted herself off. She turned to her sister, who blushed as she played with her fingers.
"W-Well? How do I look?"
Dashie sighed. "You look great, Sol."
Sol's eyes widened and squealed. "I knew you would like it! I love you so much!"
Dashie sighed when she heard that. She felt bad for half-assing the compliment. She looked away.
"Not only great. You look cute and feel like I'm looking at the sun as it's setting."
Sol squealed more. "I love you, I love you, I love you!" She ran and hugged her sister tightly, almost crushing her. "I'll be sure to wear this more often for you!"
"Sol...human...body...needs...O2..."
"Alright, you two, break it up." Sunny used her magic to lift and pry Sol off Dasie, and then, she carried her like a sack of potatoes. "Now, let's go. Wallflower should be opening her flower shop. We need to pick up Dahlia before we get going."
"Right," said Dashie, putting her headphones back on.
As they walked, Sol kept her eyes on her sister. She wanted to hold her hand but was too scared. Sunny smiled at this; it reminded her of the old days when she and Blitz were like this. Well, she hid her feelings toward Blitz. "Sol, you might have acted like me when I was a brute back in the day, but at least you show your emotions more, especially with Dashie." she thought as she followed them from behind.
"B-Big sis?"
"Yeah, Sol," said Dashie, not bothering to look.
"W-Well, since we will be in the same school, why don't we walk home together? Or we could go and hang out at a café after school."
"I'm sorry, Sol. But like I told Mom, I'm busy."
Sol looked away, feeling dejected. "Oh, okay."
Dashie looked at her sister, feeling her heart hurt. She hated saying no, but she couldn't lose focus of her promise. "Sol, I'm sorry..." she sighed, knowing she would regret this later. "...we eat lunch together if we are in the same lunch period. Is that okay?"
Sol's eyes lit up. "REALLY!?"
"Yes, really."
Sol was too happy to talk as she skipped down the sidewalk, while Sunny just smiled.
As the trio walked to Wallflower's shop, elsewhere in the not-so-great and ruinous part of town, the familiar car with a moving trailer parked behind a small apartment building that had seen better days. The siren sisters exited the car and looked at the sad sight.
"Well, what a fine mierda of an apartment..." whispered Aria, crossing her arms. "I'm already missing our old tiny home back in Mexico. And I didn't think places could get worse than that."
"I guess they do," said Sonata, rubbing her arm and sticking close to Aria.
Their papi got out of the car and smiled. "Come on, you two. I know it looks bad, but I'm sure it'll look better inside."
Jump cut to the inside of the apartment, which was just as run-down as the outside. The apartment only had one bedroom room and a bathroom, but it was the size of a studio apartment.
"This is fucking horrible, Papi," said Aria, not even looking inside because of how much of a dump it was.
"Aria, please, no bad words," their father said in anger as he stepped into the dump of an apartment, which creaked as he did.
"I'm just being honest," said Aria, turning and seeing Sonata looking inside the apartment but hiding behind Adagio. "What do you think, Sonata? You've been quiet the entire time."
Sonata looked at her. "Well, I think this place is great!"
"You're kidding, right?"
"No. It's small, cozy, and cheap. We'll save so much money here; we can buy a house with how much Papi saves."
"You're right about that, hija," said their father, walking to them. "But the rent is cheap not only because the apartment is terrible. It's also dangerous." He walked over to the window and peeked outside. He could see shandy-looking people loitering, doing drugs, and fighting, and in the distance, a group of bikers could be seen driving down the street.
"Oh, I see." Aria didn't seem scared. She seemed excited.
Her father sighed as she turned to Aria, who was cracking her knuckles. "Look here, El Demonio, you better not pick a fight. Okay? We don't want any trouble. We want to be left alone."
"Relax, Papi. I won't. I'll only fight if they throw the first punch." A bit of Aria's eyes glowed as she smirked with the excitement of a battle.
Their father shook his head and prayed. "Jesús, please spare anyone from my little Demonio."
"I'm not that bad," said Aria, annoyed.
"You put three whole gang of gangsters in the hospital, Aria," said Sonata, pulling out a book and looking at a certain page. "And you put seven in the morgue, and you didn't even kill them."
"Yeah, well, they deserved it," said Aria, crossing her arms. She looked back at her tall sister, wondering where she got that book. "Are you writing down my body count?"
Sonata nodded but quickly hid behind Adagio, who opened a cabinet only for it to fall apart.
"This is just perfect," she said, sighing.
Aria smiled at Sonata. "Good! I always wanted to know how many losers I beat up! Oh! Maybe I can get a world record of beating up the most people!"
"Aria, por favor," said their father, pinching his eyes, "please calm down. We don't want a repeat of last time."
"Okay, Papi, I'll chill out."
Adagio walked over to the small bedroom and looked inside after Sonata bumped into her, not wanting to be alone. To her surprise, it was in much better condition than the rest.
"At least the bedroom is in good shape," said Adagio, looking around.
Her father joined her side and smiled. "Wonderful. You chicas will have a bedroom while I sleep in the living room, okay? But let's hurry and get the trailer. Your beds are still there."
He was about to go, but Adagio and the other girls stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
"You aren't sleeping out here in this..." Adagio looked around, seeing how run-down the apartment was.
"No, I'm fine. Really. Besides, there's no more room in the bedroom."
"But, Papi-"
"No, Adagio," their father said firmly, shutting Adagio up. "You three need a room for yourselves. Besides, I'll clean the place up while you go to school." He pretended to clean but quickly started to cough. "See? Clean and dust-free. I'm sure you can return home to a nice apartment when I'm done. Okay?" But his cough started to get worse.
"Papi, are you okay?" asked Aria.
He held his chest and coughed, and soon, he started to fall to the floor, but Adagio caught him and set him down on the bedroom floor.
"Looks like I got some dust in my lungs, don't worry abo-"
But he stopped talking, seeing how mad Adagio looked. He gulped as he knew what was going to happen next.
"¡Cállate! ¡No limpias nada cuando estás enfermo! Esta habitación va a ser tuya, no nuestra. ¿Entendido?" shouted Adagio, glaring down at him.
"Si, señorita," said her father, nodding quickly.
Aria sighed. She wasn't happy she had to clean and sleep in the living room, but it was for her father. She'll get over it. Sonata beamed with happiness as her big sister acted like that. She loved seeing Adagio being strong.
"I want to be like that!" she thought.
"Good. Now, we will bring your bed and stuff here, and then we'll go," she said, turning to her sisters and ordering them to get it. Then she turned back to him. "And don't you dare clean anything until we come back! You hear me!"
"SI si!" he said, not wanting to mess with his daughter. He knows not to mess with her when she goes full-on Spanish.
As the two left, Adagio stayed for a bit. She made a mental list of what needed to be cleaned first and what to get. As she looked, she could hear her father laughing a bit.
"What is it, papi? What's so funny?"
Her father stood up and walked over to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders, feeling the jacket she was wearing. He felt so proud of her.
"Every day, you become more like your mother, my dear. You're strong, smart, and a force to be reckoned with." He looked at the flower-patterned jacket. "Your mother's jacket suits you, and you said you didn't deserve it." He kissed her cheek and walked past her, but she grabbed his hand and hugged him.
"Te quiero, Papi," she said softly, her eyes tearing up. "I miss Mama, and the times we had before she was gone."
"Me too, hija. Me too." he softly said. Rubbing her back. "But she's looking down from heaven, my dear. I'm sure she's proud of you and the others."
The two stood there for a bit, enjoying their moment together.
"Or up? Your mother was a Diablo after all!" he joked, but his laughter died as he saw Adagio giving him the death glare. "Ehe, ehe, I was joking, mi hija."
Adagio growled. "You better hope you were because I won't hold back if you weren't." she pointed her finger at him. "Don't you dare call her a devil!"
Her father sighed and nodded. "Of course. Sorry."
Soon, they could hear someone coming up the stairs and into the apartment. It was Aria carrying not only the bed and her father's things on top of it but also Sonata, who was having the time of her life, laughing and enjoying the ride.
"This is so fun! Can we do this again?" asked Sonata, not even caring that the bed was bouncing a lot.
Aria dropped her and everything on the floor.
"No."
Sonata groaned, disappointed, but Aria wasn't in the mood.
Their father shook his head. "I swear, Aria, how much you train, you be called a gorila instead of El Demonio."
"I like that better," said Aria, smiling and flexing her fist. "Yeah! Sounds more powerful!"
Adagio rolled her eyes and ordered the girls to get moving. As they needed to get to school, they had to go.
"Alright, I'll see you later, mis hijas," he said, kissing them on the foreheads...until he got to Sonata. She was much taller than him or any normal person. "My little montaña, could you please lean down a bit?"
Sonata blushed and bent down slightly so her father could kiss her forehead.
"Gracias, mi montaña. Now, hurry and get going."
"See ya later, papi!" said Aria, walking out first.
Sonata wanted to leave, but she wanted to stay by her father's side.
"Go ahead, Sonata," said Adagio, pointing to the door.
"B-But." she looked back at her father with tears forming. "W-Will papi be still be here!?"
Adagio did a sad sigh and grabbed Sonata's hand. "Sonata, mírame." she said, touching her cheek and softly making her look at her. "Dad isn't going anywhere, okay? At as long I'm here, remember?" She nodded at her, and Sonata nodded back.
"O-okay..."
"Good, now go, and don't cause trouble."
Sonata nodded and gave her father one last hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then they left the apartment, but Sonata left very slowly until Aria returned and forced her out. Adagio sighed sadly that her father knew what was wrong.
"It wasn't your fault. What happened on that desert road wasn't your fault. Those men tried to traffic you girls, and you three just got separated when you escaped. Sonata was okay-"
"Because of me, she's like that," Adagio said as she left the apartment, leaving her father alone.
He turned to his bed and saw the small personal altar with the picture of his late wife.
"I wish you were still here, Sofía," he said, picking up the picture. "You know how to help them...you always did."
He looked at the picture but suddenly heard something outside. He walked over to the window and wasn't surprised by what he saw. He could see a strong, buff man being punched into the trash can. Soon, Aria walked past, cracking her knuckles while her sisters were behind her. He started to look at the picture again.
"You know what? I take that back, mi amor. I'm glad you aren't here." He could hear his daughter beating up another guy as the first guy's friends came to help, but soon, they were screaming for help. "You were called the Rosa Demonio, but Aria would make you seem like a cute little teddy bear. She's more than just a Demonio."
He flinched as he could see a guy being tossed into the air and falling into a nearby tree. He started to pray.
Dashie, Sol, and Sunny finally arrived at Wallflower's Flower Shop, which doubled as a shop and a house in the market district of town.
"Well, there it is, you two," said Sunny, pointing to the old but well-kept flower shop. "It's been a long time since we've been here." The steel shutters were up, but it looked empty inside as they looked.
Dashie opened the door and walked inside. Sunny and Sol wondered why she had suddenly gone in. They followed her inside and looked around. So many colorful plants were around the place.
"Sis, Mom, I think Wallflower took Dahlia to school because no one is here," said Sol, picking up a flower pot.
Dashie turned to them, wondering why they thought that. "Why say that when Wallflower is right next to Sunny."
Sunny gave her a weird look. "What? Come on, now. Wallflower isn't ri-SHIT!" screamed Sunny, seeing Wallflower, dressed in a sundress with a sun hat but still wearing that magical brown jacket, standing beside her. "GOD DAMN IT, WALLFLOWER! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WILL STOP DOING THAT!"
Wallflower laughed at the joke, and so did Dashie. Sol just looked confused.
"I did." She looked at Sol, who was holding the flower pot. "You want it? You can have it for free, Sol."
"Really? Thanks!"
Wallflower smiled and turned to Dashie. "Just like Blitz. Will always see me, no matter what."
Dashie smiled as she heard that. Being seen as her mother always made her proud.
"Oh, hey, Wallflower," said Sunny, seeing the clock and remembering the time, "Where's Dahlia? We need to hurry. I don't want the kids to be late." She started to sweat a bit. "Or myself, as it's my first time being a teacher than a substitute teacher."
"Oh, don't worry," said Wallflower, walking over to her and grabbing her hand. She could feel her heart beating a bit faster. "Dahlia right here." She turned look down at her side, making everyone look behind Wallflower. "Come on, dear. Your big sister is here to pick you up. Weren't you so excited to show her your new dress?"
Dashie, Sol, and Sunny were surprised to see the girl peek out. Her hair was dark black and greenish, and her bangs always hid her eyes. She was wearing a green sleeveless sundress.
"H-Hi...D-Dashie!" she said, trying to wave, but her hands were shaking too much.
Dashie could see her little sister was nervous, as always. Unlike Sol, who was more open to everyone and blunt, Dahlia was shy and had problems socializing, which she had something in common with her little sis, as she also hated socializing with others. It was something that Sol hated, though, as she hated how Dahlia and Dashie felt slightly closer to each other than to her.
Dashie waved at her. "Hello, Dahlia and I like your dress. Did you make it?"
Dahlia smiled a bit, her bangs hiding her eyes. "M-mama and I m-made it. She l-likes it too."
Wallflower giggled. "She does, doesn't she? How pretty is it, Dashie?"
Dashie prepared herself as she knew what would happen next. "Well, Dahlia looks beautiful in it."
Dahlia suddenly hugged Dashie's chest, surprising her. She wasn't expecting her to do that suddenly.
"Th-Thank you, Dashie," she said, squeezing her tightly.
What happened next was what Dashie and the others expected to happen.
"I love you, big sister!" blushed Dahlia, rubbing her cheek on her big sister's chest until Dahlia started glowing deep green and her skin tone became light green. "I LOVE YOU!" Suddenly, the room started to shake, and vines burst out of the ground and surrounded them. The vines slowly covered Dashie and bloomed pretty Dahlia, which was why Dahlia was named after.
"DAHLIA, PLEASE CALM DOWN!" shouted Sunny, trying to calm her down, but it didn't work.
Sol started to freak out, seeing the vines slowly crawling toward her.
The only ones calmed were Dashie, as she was used to this, and Wallflower, who transformed into her nymph form, her skin light green and her hair becoming more dark green, was also used to this.
"My little flower," said Wallflower, not moving but just smiling as her own vines burst out from the floor and the ceiling. The vines slowly wrapped around Dahlia's vines and carefully pulled them off Dashie's body. "Dear, you are behaving unladylike right now. It would help if you calmed down. Now." She could see her daughter realizing what she had done.
Dashie started coughing a bit as the vines let go. Dahlia was stuttering, trying to apologize, but her words came out as a jumbled mess. She could see everyone looking at her, and she started to panic.
"I'M SORRY!" shouted Dahlia, as she created a flower in her hand and tossed it up in the air.
Everyone watched the flower being tossed until it finally hit the ground. Everyone looked at Dahlia, but only to find she had gone missing.
"Wh-What?" asked Sol, looking around for her. "Where did she go? How does she keep doing that!?"
Wallflower picked up the flower and handed it to Dashie.
"She's right there," said Wallflower, smiling.
Dashie could feel Dahlia hiding behind her, blushing red with embarrassment. She was still stuttering, but Dashie patted her head.
"It's okay, Dahlia. It's a natural reaction."
Wallflower sighed. "Yes, but I wish she could learn to stop doing it. Unlike me, who blends in the background, people can notice her presence. Dahlia is free from the Blush family curse, yet she doesn't want to be seen."
Dashie sighed, knowing why Dahlia's mother had to say that.
"Yes, I know, Mama, but I really wish I could stop but..."
Dashie smiled at her. "Why would you want that? You can easily 'misdirect' people by tossing an object into the air, making everyone look at it, allowing you to sneak away. That's an awesome skill, and you should be proud!"
Dahlia started to smile and feel better about her quirk. "That's true, but I still feel bad for doing it."
Dashie shrugged and rubbed her cheek. "Maybe, but don't feel bad about yourself. I like it, and I like you, so please don't beat yourself up. Okay?"
Dahlia blushed hard and hugged Dashie again. "I love you, big sister!"
Dashie wanted to smile, but she suddenly felt cold daggers stabbing her back. She didn't need to turn around to see Sol glaring at her.
"Big sis," she growled, "Why are you always doing that?"
"Doing what?" asked Dashie in the most deadpan tone.
Sol became angry and marched over and hugged her, too, but was trying to pull her away from Dahlia.
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TREAT DAHLIA LIKE THAT?"
"WHAT? I'M JUST TRYING TO CHEER HER UP!" shouted back Dashie, as she could feel herself being crushed by Sol's magical strength.
"YEAH, WELL, YOU ALWAYS GIVE HER MORE ATTENTION THAN ME, BIG SIS! AND DON'T EVEN DENY IT!"
Dashie groaned, not wanting to get into this. She just wanted to get the day started, not argue.
"I'm sorry!" cried Dahlia, pulling back with her vines as she didn't want Sol to take her big sister away from her.
Sunny and Wallflower couldn't help but smile at the scene. Both women could see their younger selves doing the same thing but with Blitz.
"...we were like that," said Sunny, sighing.
Wallflower nodded. "Yes, but I don't remember us trying to rip Blitz in two," she joked, but she started to worry as she could see both young girls were now tearing their big sister apart.
"You think we should stop them?" asked Sunny.
Wallflower shook her head. "No, I'm sure it will be fine. Just give it a minute." she smiled as Dashie started to calm them down by giving them head pats. "See? Dashie always knows how to deal with those two. She is their big sister, after all."
"Yes, she does," Sunny said, but she became a little upset. "I wish they grew up together rather than apart, but it had to be done." Wallflower nodded in agreement. "Those three need a future without others looking down on them because of us. They don't deserve that life. And it's better than them dealing with 'your mothers are in a Polyamory relationship' comments from other kids."
"But Blitz still loves us and tries her hardest to be around us and our daughters," said Wallflower, trying to remain positive, "And that's all that matters."
"Yeah," whispered Sunny, as they watched Dashie being pulled by her arms by her little sisters now. But Sunny looked closer at her daughter and could see how she looked at Dashie. "....you don't think they really have a sister complex, do you?"
"Don't even joke about that, Sunny. Our daughters don't love Dashie like..." Wallflower looked back at her own daughter and could see a loving reaction as Dashie was petting her. "Maybe we should ask Blitz if she noticed something when she's around the girls."
"Y-yeah, good idea. Blitz would know. She has two sisters of her own who clearly have sister complexes toward her! She would know! Let's dump that problem onto her! That sounds great!" awkwardly laughed Sunny, as she didn't want to deal with this problem.
Wallflower started to sweat. "...oh, Blitz, your poor soul."
Dashie, meanwhile, was starting to wonder how she had ended up like this as she was being carried out of the shop by her little sisters, who were fighting over her.
"Why me?" groaned Dashie, not enjoying being dragged away like this.
It was early morning as two cars pulled up to the Cantorlot High. One was white, and the other was dark blue. The cars parked next to each other and stepped out was this universe Celestia and Luna, but known as Sunna and Selena. These two old ladies were in their late fifties but still looked great for their age. Both sisters nodded and headed to the school.
Sunna unlocked it and breathed in the fresh morning smell. "Ah, what a great way to start the first day of school!"
Selena looked at her with a weird expression. "...I hate when you do that."
Sunna looked at her slightly younger sister. 'What? Can't I appreciate the nice weather and smell of the morning?"
Selena rolled her eyes and headed inside. Sunna just sighed and followed her.
"Why do you always have to be so negative, sister? Just relax a bit."
"I don't want to relax. This year, 'they' are going to here... God help us, '" Selena said, opening the door to her Vice Principal's office and turning on the lights.
"Oh, come on, Selena, they aren't that bad."
Selena turned to her sister in anger. "You are forgiving them!? After what they had done!?"
"Now, now, Selena. I'm not saying I forgive them. But they were there for-."
Selena groaned, not wanting to hear it. She slammed her door right in her older sister's face. Sinna sighed, knowing this was how she would act.
"Still bitter, I see." She looked at the time and saw how much she had left. "I should get ready. I can't keep my students waiting."
Sunna hurried to her office, set her work bag on the desk, and hurried out. She could see teachers and staff already arriving. She waved at them as she headed to the school's front courtyard. She double-checked how she looked and waited.
As she waited, she could hear two voices asking what she was doing. She closed her eyes and breathed out. She smiled and turned around and walked, seeing the dark blue Ailcorn android, Mizuki, and the white one, Arev. She remembered how her late mother, Asteria, and co-worker, the smartest woman in the world and former Cantorlot High School student, Twilah Reinbold, created these Ailcorn androids. They became self-aware, and her mother took them as daughters up to her death. This was why Selena was so bitter to see them, but she had to put that aside.
"Hello, Mizuki and Arev," she said, walking over to the two androids, "How are you two?"
Arev bowed, but Mizuki waved. "We are doing well, older sister. How are you?" asked Arev, standing back up.
"...calling us sisters now?" she coughed. "I mean, how....nice. Just don't say that near Selena. You know how she feels about you two. And I am well, thank you."
"Of course," said Mizuki. "We know not to say that. We won't cause problems for her or you."
The two androids followed Sunna to where she had stood before and joined her. They asked why she was standing out there.
"I just want to welcome all the new and returning students like I do every year."
Arev smiled at that and created a hologram notepad.
"Yes! Such a simple gesture will be a great way to introduce ourselves. Even more so when we take over next year!"
"...yes...take over," mumbled Sunna. "Right."
Arev and Mizuki looked at each other, confused but not thinking too much about it.
A few minutes later, the students arrived, and Sunna began welcoming them. As she did, Arev and Mizuki started recording her speech, ensuring they had it for later to study fully.
"Welcome back, Danny! With you here, our HorseShoe will win this year's football match!" happily waved Sunna to the football player as he shouted the Horse Shoes memo.
"Yes! We will win for you, Principle Sunna!" shouted Danny, heading inside.
Sunna giggled as she loved seeing all the students get excited. But as she looked at the crowd, her smile grew as she saw Miss Shimeren, this year's new musical teacher. She was so happy that Sunny Shimeren decided to become a school teacher like Blitz Reinbold.
"I heard from the middle school principal that Miss Shimeren was such a troublemaker and bully, but when she entered my school, I saw no such thing! Someone helped her," thought Sunna, as she could see Sunny running to the school and stopping in front of her.
"SORRY I'M LATE!" shouted Sunny, bowing in front of Sunna. "My daughter had trouble with her half-sister, and things went south and-"
"Miss Shimeren, calm down," said Sunna, smiling. "It's only the first day. No harm, no foul."
Sunny let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks."
"And welcome back, Sunny Shimeren," said Sunna, patting her head, "It's great to have you back, even as a teacher! I know our students will have a wonderful time with you as a teacher this year!"
Sunny blushed. "Thanks, Miss Sunna."
Sunna nodded but remembered something that Sunny had told her. "Oh yes, your daughter is now a student here! Where is she?"
Sunny did a small laugh as she pointed her thumb behind. "She and her other sister wanted more time walking to the school with their big sister. So they're coming a little late."
"Well, I'm sure it's fine. And don't worry, I will personally welcome her, along with her sisters, and tell them they're fine for being late." Sunna checked her outfit and nodded. She wanted to look perfect.
Sunny looked a bit confused. "What? Why? What are you-"
Sunna looked over at the small oak tree that had been planted ten years ago. It had a gold plate at the base of it. "Miss Twilah Reinbold left us too soon, as she did so many great things in the world. It was an honor to have her and her daughter as a student here, but it was even more of an honor to have her granddaughters here. So please, let me honor her granddaughters and welcome them."
Sunny nodded, understanding. She was going to chat again but suddenly heard her daughter's loud voice.
"Welp, good luck, Principal Sunna! because you are going to need it!" Sunny laughed, heading inside before waving at the android twins.
Sunna looked at her with a raised eyebrow and watched her leave.
"That's weird."
Sunna shrugged and turned back to arriving students, but three stood out, seeing Dashie on her back, being dragged by two young freshmen who looked like Sunny and Wilma Blush.
"LET HER GO, DAHLIA!" shouted Sol.
"No, she's my big sister too..." whispered Dahlia.
Sunna had to hold back a laugh.
"I'm guessing those two are Dashie's little sisters." she thought and walked over to them. "Good morning, you three."
"Principal Sunna!" said Dashie, turning her head at her but still being dragged away as her little sisters didn't pay attention to Sunna and walked past her. "Please, save me. My little sisters won't let me go!"
"I'm not surprised," chuckled Sunna. "They love their big sister and don't want her taken away from them. Selena was the same with me when she joined my High School." She nodded with approval and waved goodbye to Dashie, who was now screaming at her to save her; soon, the doors closed, ending her cry for help.
Sunna giggled at that, but soon, she could hear another noise of students heading this way. She looked back and smiled as she remembered three new students were coming from Mexico.
"Wow, she's a tall one!" thought Sunna, seeing Sonata walking between her sisters, looking so scared and nervous.
Sunna walked over to the three young women and held out her hand.
"Good morning, you three must be Mr. Lucia's daughters." She remembered their father telling her what his daughters looked like. She looked at the one with a brown jacket. "Aria Lucia." she then turned to the one with the flower pattern jacket. "Adagio Lucia." Then she finally looked at the tallest with a cute black sweater with pink bunnies on the sleeves. "And finally, Sonata Lucia. Welcome, girls, to Cantorlot High! I hope you enjoy your stay." She looked back at Sonata, smiling. "As a big sister, I hope you will be the best for your sisters. But I will say, don't push yourself. You have to look after yourself as well."
Sonata smiled and became smug when mistaken for the oldest of the three.
Sunna looked down at Aria. "As the youngest, I hope you behave and don't cause trouble for your big sisters or the school. It would be a shame if I had to expel one of Mr. Lucia's daughters."
Aria became annoyed, as she hated being mistaken for the youngest because she was small.
"HEY! LOOK HERE CUN-"
Adagio covered Aria's mouth, stopping her from saying something stupid.
"Ms. Sunna, I'm sorry, but Aria is the middle child, and Sonata is the youngest here. Many people make that mistake. I hope you understand."
"I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding." She smiled and patted Adagio's head. "Such a polite girl. Your mother must be proud."
Adagio smiled, feeling good about herself. She looked up at the morning sky. "Yes, I know she is."
Sunna quickly caught on and felt so rude. "I'm sorry. I didn't know your mother passed away."
Adagio closed her eyes and shook her head in response. "It's fine. Honest."
Before Sunna could say anything, the twin androids walked past them and mimicked what they had learned from Sunna.
"Welcome back, students!" happily waved Arev as she held Mizuki's arm and raised it.
Mizuki looked so embarrassed.
"I can't believe we are copying the same thing, but I will admit that Ms. Sunna made it seem cool and welcoming," said Mizuki, waving to the students. "Welcome, new students! You better hurry along before the homeroom bell rings!"
Sunna felt a little upset. "...At least they are doing fine...job..." she whispered, then turned to the three sisters, looking at the School Mascot, the horseshoe. "I see your girls are interested in the horseshoe. We have a lot of history with it. But ten years ago, we had-"
Adagio cut Sunna off and asked a simple question. "Ten years ago, it was a normal horse, correct? With a mirror surface on at the base of it."
Sunna's eyes filled with joy. She coughed. "Why yes, my dear! Before the horseshoe mascot, we had the wonderful Wondercolts as the school's mascot, but sadly, the school board wanted something new. He was replaced, but thanks to the amazing Twilah Reinbold, she placed the statue in a museum with her donations, saving it from being scrapped."
"That's amazing," whispered Sonata, looking at the horseshoe.
"Yes, it is! Sadly, I heard the mirror base was destroyed during the move when they were moving the statue to Mexico for cleaning and repairs. We don't know why, but at least it was repaired free of charge."
Adagio started to laugh, and Aria was trying to hold her back.
Sunna looked at the girls, feeling concerned.
"What's so funny, my dear?"
Before she could get her answer, the bell rang.
"Oh, the homeroom bell just rang! You three better get going!" She was about to leave but noticed something was wrong with Sonata and remembered what Mr. Lucina had said about Sonata's autophobia.
"Are you okay, sweetie?"
Sonata started to shake. She couldn't stand being alone, and she realized that she wouldn't be around her sisters. Aria looked sad but tried not to show it. Adagio could see that Sonata was starting to break.
"Sonata," said Adagio, signaling her tall young sister to look at her. Sonata looked at Adagio and calmed down a little as she saw her caring face. On the other hand, Aria was a little upset; she didn't like that Sonata and Adagio were close. "Todo va a salir bien. Recuerda lo que mamá siempre te dijo. 'Sé fuerte como la montaña que eres'. ¿Recuerdas?" said Adagio.
Sonata nodded and repeated what her big sister said. "Sé fuerte como la montaña que eres."
Adagio smiled, remembering what her mother had done to help Sonata be strong. She took off her backpack and opened it. She searched for something until she found it.
"Sonata, look who I have?" said Adagio, pulling a pink bunny plushie out of her backpack. The small plush was wearing what looked like a climber outfit.
"Mr. Bun Bun!" cried Sonata, taking the plushie and holding it close. "You brought him! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sis!"
Adagio smiled, seeing Sonata so happy.
"Now you won't be alone! Because-"
Sonata started to cry as she finished what Adagio would say but in Spanish. "¡Porque mamá estará conmigo! ¡Gracias, Adagio!"
"There, there, Sonata, stop crying," said Adagio, grabbing a napkin from her backpack and handing it to Sonata. "Come on, we'll be late, and you know what Mama said. If we're late, we will get punished."
"O-okay," said Sonata, using the napkin to dry her tears.
Adagio closed her backpack and put it back on. She walked to the school entrance with her sisters behind her. Sunna had tears in her eyes as she watched the whole thing.
"Such a wonderful big sister! Such a great role model!"
As the three were getting closer to the doors, Aria spoke to Adagio.
"So, you were right. That magical mirror came from this town and this school." she eyed her sister. "Glad you could...' convince' papi to move here. Our acting skills have gotten better." she sighed. "Shame you couldn't get us a better place to..." she stopped as the dim glow came from Adagio's cold eyes. "...sorry."
Adagio looked forward again, smiling all evil-like. "If this town and school had a magical item, there's magic here. If that's the case, we can recover our powers fully." She became very determined. "And protecting the greatest gift we ever have." She took out her phone, and a photo appeared, making all three sisters look down at it. All three smiled evil-like as they saw their younger selves being hugged by their late mother and their...
"Our papi."
End of Chapter 1
Author's Note
Now, you might be wondering. Why are the Siren sisters Spanish(Their human forms, they look Spanish)? Well, it's because of Adagio and how fans see her having a huge ass. Plus, they look great in wearing Spanish clothes and other things. Sonata is tall because I find it funny. Plus, I'm Spanish myself. So I want show off my culture.
