Equestria Girls: Remembering Your Names

Sol woke up, realizing she was sleeping on top of her mother. She remembered they were watching a movie on the sofa and eating ice cream. She must have fallen asleep, but she remembered waking up and asking her mother to take her to the mall with Dahlia and her big sister, Dashie. She checked the time and saw it was still pretty early, so she got off her mother and headed to the bathroom to start her day, but she stopped when she heard her mother snoring loudly like always.

Sol placed her hands over her ears. "I swear, she's getting louder by the day." She left the room alone, leaving Sunny alone, but her loud snores echoed through the whole house.

Sol went to her room to get her clothes, then headed straight to the bathroom to take a bath, but the loud snores could still be heard, even with the door closed. She groaned in annoyance.

"She can't stop snoring for one minute! She sounds like a dying pig or something! This is why Grandma is still on her trip!"

Sol filled the bathtub and got in, letting the warm water cover her. She took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes to get her mind off her mother's snoring. She was almost there, but the snoring was still loud and clear.

"She can't...stop...snoring. Ugh!" Sol took a deep breath and dived into the tub. She sat under the water, trying to clear her mind from the snoring. "I hate her snoring."

Sol could only hear the sound of her own breathing and the water sloshing as she moved. She finally got the snoring out of her mind and felt at peace...until the loudest, deepest snore her mother ever had yet came.

Sol had enough and exited the tub, screaming, "Shut up!" as she grabbed her towel and rushed back to the living room. Her see-through horn appeared, and with an intense glow of her magic, she lifted her mother to the air and shook her with great fury, waking her up. "Wake up, wake up, wake up! I can't hear myself think or do anything with your damn snoring, Mother!"

"Oh, oh, okay. I'm up! I'm up!" yawned Sunny as she slammed into the floor and looked at her daughter. "Sol?"

"Finally! You're awake. Now stop snoring!" Sol threw her towel at her mother and returned to the bathroom to dry herself and put on her clothes.

Sunny stood up and stretched, not knowing what had just happened. She lazily went to make breakfast for them but remembered something about today's trip to the mall.

"Sol?" Sunny called out, knocking on the bathroom door. Sol didn't answer, and Sunny guessed it was because her daughter was still upset with her. "My little sunshine, listen to me. About today's family outing to the mall, it's-"

Sunny couldn't finish as the door opened and dodged a hairbrush from her naked daughter.

"You promised, Mom! To take us! This is a rare chance to see big sis wear a cute dress! WHY CAN-"

But now it was Sol's turn to dodge the hairbrush that her mother fired back at her with her magic, thanks to her anthro form.

"Sol, let me fucking finish!" Sunny crossed her arms in annoyance, her tail wagging behind her. "As I said, We are still going, but listen to me. It's about Dashie...something happened to he-"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO BIG SISTER!? IS SHE HURT!?" Sol was panicking and crying, scared about what her mother might say, as she used her magic to slam Sunny to the wall and run up to her, her magic gripping her by the collar of her shirt. "IS SHE DEAD!? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER, MOM!? TELL ME, PLEASE!"

Sunny grabbed her daughter's hand and calmed her down. "She's not dead, but again, let me finish, okay?" she said in a motherly tone.

"O-okay."

Sunny smiled, glad her daughter was calming down, and pulled her close, hugging her tightly.

"Good. As I was saying, last night, Blitz called me and told me what happened to Dashie. It seems someone saw her..." Sunny blushed, not wanting to say it, but sighed as Sol bluntly said it out loud. "...yes, that. So, she had a mental breakdown again about her gender and hated her slime side. Blitz told me she would be alright, and we could go, but please watch what you say or do around her, okay? You know how fragile Dashie is when this happens. So-"

"She's not!" Sol pulled away and smiled. "Dashie is the strongest person in the world! Big sis can handle anything, and I won't let anyone hurt her!" she cracked her knuckles, and her horn slightly became less see-through. "If anyone hurts my big sister, I'll show them no mercy!"

"My little sunshine, Dashie can handle herself, but she doesn't need her sisters annoying her when she's fragile. If you or Dahlia try anything, you will be grounded. Let me and Blitz handle Dashie. Okay?"

Sol gritted her teeth and nodded. Her mother smiled and headed off to the kitchen to start making breakfast.

Sol shut the door and walked up to the mirror. She gripped the bathroom counter tightly, her nails digging into the marble, cracking it.

"Big sister..."

Sol had a memory from the past: the day her sister's slime side awakened. She remembered how her sister had broken down, confused about what she was. Hearing her sister cry and not knowing what to do broke Sol and Dahlia's hearts. Then, they heard Dashie say something that made the two ensure it never happened.

"Who's going to love me now?"

Dashie thought no one would love her and that she wasn't a girl anymore, which broke their hearts. Sol and Dahlia made a promise to each other that day.

Sol's grip became soft. She looked at herself in the mirror, seeing tears. "Big sister, if no one loves you, we will love you. Even if you don't love yourself, we'll love you. We will make sure you are loved..." she blushed and held her cheeks. "...because we love you. You're not some freak. You're our big sister, and we want you to be happy, even if it means loving you in that way."

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, thinking of what she could do to make her sister happy as she returned from brushing her hair.

Later, Sol and Sunny were walking down the sidewalk, almost to Blitz's house. Soon, they met up with Dahlia and her mother. The four walked down the sidewalk, the mothers talking about what happened with Dashie and how Blitz was worried about her other two daughters, who were ahead of them.

"Blitz seemed to be worried about the girls, too. She fears their slime side might awaken," said Sunny, looking at her daughter, who was whispering to Dahlia. Sunny looked over her daughter's body, hoping to spot anything odd, but thankfully, she found nothing.

"Even if it does, we'll be ready for it. Twilah left those flashcards for us, not just for Lucy." Wallflower held the deck of flashcards in her bag. "The girls also have been informed about the slime genes. We'll be ready for the day our girls have their slime side activated. Blitz and Lucy are doing their best with Dashie."

Sunny nodded in agreement, not noticing Sol and Dahlia running ahead as they finally arrived. The two rushed up and knocked on the door, standing and waiting.

Soon, Lucy answered and opened the door, smiling at her stepdaughters.

"Hi, girls, come on in."

Sol and Dahlia nodded and rushed in so fast that Lucy was spun around like a top. Lucy laughed at their eagerness as Sunny used her magic to stop her spinning.

"Those two sure are excited," said Lucy, walking dizzy back inside.

"They sure are," agreed Sunny, closing the door and following them inside.

Inside, Lucy leads them to the kitchen table, showing Blitz removing the plates from the tables. Blitz noticed her daughters and smiled.

"There are my sweet little peas."

Sol and Dahlia hugged their mother tightly. Blitz hugged her daughters and kissed them on the head.

"So, where's Dashie?" Dahlia asked, looking around. She became worried. "Is she still upset?"

Blitz's face was soft. She saw her daughters concerned. She could see their mothers in them, in how they worried for her.

"Don't worry. Dashie is in her room, getting dressed."

"Is she coming with us?" Sol asked, her eyes hopeful, thinking her big sister had changed her mind.

Before Blitz could answer, someone beat her to the punch.

"Of course I am, Sol. You won't have fun without your big sis. Plus, we had a deal, and you two didn't break it."

The group turned around and saw Dashie standing at the doorway in casual attire but still wearing her purple jacket.

"Big sister!" shouted the two sisters, seeing Dashie.

Dashie sighed, closed her eyes, and prepared herself for her little sister's tackle hugs. She spread open her arms and waited, but nothing?

"Huh?" Dashier whispered, opening one eye and seeing their sisters just standing there.

"We are glad you are doing well, big sis." Dahlia smiled, seeing her sister's confused face.

"Yeah, plus, we are happy you are coming with us. I was looking forward to this. So, let's go!"

The two ran up to the front door, leaving their older sister confused.

Dashie didn't know why, but she was a bit sad her sisters didn't hug her, and her heart ached. She was about to join them with their mothers, but Blitz froze, and everyone knew what that meant. Blitz looked over to Dashie, feeling awful that she had to leave while her daughter was still down in what had happened to her. She wanted to be part of the outing, but now?

"Dashie..."

Dashie smiled at her. "It's okay, Mom. Do your job. I'll be fine, and we can all hang out later. You are needed somewhere."

Blitz sighed, knowing she was being like Twilah, not having time for her daughter. She transformed into Rainbow Comet. She looked over to Lucy and the others.

"I'll try to return as fast as I can, okay? Lucy, Sunny, and Wallflower, please take care of her for me."

Lucy and Wallflower nodded, knowing what their wife meant.

Sunny smirked. "No worries. Now go."

Blitz smiled and looked back at Dashie. She flew up to her daughter, kissed her cheek, and exited the backyard's open door.
Dashie felt alone, but she had the others. She was fine, she thought, but why did she feel so sad and alone?

Before all this, Adagio opened her eyes. She blinked and saw Sonata on top of her, snugging her, and Aria sleeping on the far end of the sofa. She looked back at Sonata and, without waking her, got out and set her back on the couch.
She left the living room and went straight to the kitchen, which was in the same area as the living room. She started making breakfast for the family when everyone awoke to the smell of eggs and kielbasa.

"Morning, Adagio. Morning, everyone," said Aria, yawning. She saw Sonata sleeping and decided not to bother her. She went to the bathroom while their father woke and wanted to go to Adagio to help her, but she stopped him.

"No, papi. Yo me encargo, ve a despertar a Sonata y espera en la mesa. Ya casi está." she said, pointing at the small table at front of the sofa.

He sighed and walked to the couch.

"Sonata, mija. Es hora de levantarse." He lightly tapped her, and his daughter's eyes fluttered open.

"Hmm..." Sonata sat up straight and yawned, and as she did so, her bunny buns moved like a real bunny's.

"Ahhh, morning, papi."

"Morning, mija. Come on, your breakfast is almost done."

"Yay."

She made room for him and held Mr. Bun Bun. Aria soon returned and slumped down on the sofa. She didn't have to wait long as Adagio handed them the food. As they started to eat, Mr. Lucia noticed that Adagio hadn't made herself a plate.

Before he could say anything, Adagio spoke to them.

"Sonata, after eating, go brush your teeth and get ready. We will be leaving soon." She then turned to Aria. "Aria, we'll be in the mall, so no fighting anyone who looks at you wrong. It's not like back home. Also, please do not insult anyone or their clothes. We are here to have fun."

Aria rolled her eyes but nodded in agreement.

Adagio gave her a death glare, making Aria shrink in her seat. "Good."

Adagio was about to get her clothes today, but her father stopped her and asked her why she wasn't going to eat.

"Papi, I will change, and after that, I will eat something at the mall. I am not that hungry."

Mr. Lucia was going to object, but his daughter wouldn't hear any of it. She could see Sonata was done eating, so she forced her off the sofa and to the bathroom. Mr. Lucia looked at the fridge and opened it. There was food, but knowing his daughter, she must have done the math and realized there might not be enough for them for the coming weeks. He closed the door and sighed.

"I hope that job pays well."

Sunny teleported everyone near the mall with a bright yellow flash and returned to normal.

"Man, I'm glad I can use magic! Beats not having a car or taking the bus!" Sunny chuckled, walking to the entrance of the mall.

"It does, and it's a great way to save money, too." Wallflower giggled, but she remembered what the girls wanted to do. She turned to them. "Right, you girls wanted to go buy something in Rachel's store, right?"

But Wallflower could see her daughter and Sol shaking their heads.

"No, it's okay! We change our minds, right? Sol?"

"Right! We changed our minds, but we do want to visit the arcade; Dashie loves going there, so-"

Dashie suddenly knew what was going on. Her parents must have told her sisters what happened, but they didn't want to bother her with their reward. She sighed and grabbed her sister's hands, making Sol shut her mouth and blush. She and Dahlia were surprised by the sudden handholding.

"Sorry, but I promised them, and I'm keeping it." Dashie looked at them, seeing their worried faces. She felt happy her sisters deeply cared about her. "What's with the worried look on your faces?"

The sisters could see Dashie giving them a big smile, trying to stand firm for them. Sol knew she was right about her big sisters.

"That's why I love you so much! You are so strong, Dashie, even when you are hurt. You make me love you more every day."

Dashie was shocked by her little sister's words. Before she could say anything, her sisters started to drag her to Rachel's shop next to the mall.

"COME ON, BIG SIS! THOSE CUTE DRESSES WON'T PICK THEMSELVES!" Sol shouted with excitement and drooled a bit.

Dahlia didn't say anything, but Dashie could also see her drool. Dashie now started to feel she regretted her choice as her legs dragged against the payment and into the store.

Sunny sighed while Lucy and Wallflower laughed, and all three parents soon entered the store.

At that same time, Mr. Lucia pulled up in his car, letting his daughters out.

"I'll catch up, sweeties. I need to park the car." He leaned out of the window of the passagerside and noticed the fancy, rich-looking store. "¡Adagio, Mira! ¡Una tienda de ropa! A lo mejor allí encuentras pantalones de tu talla porque con un culo tan grande dudo que encuentres talla en una tienda." he laughed, making Adagio blush red, while her sisters started to tease her.

"Oh? Looking for new pants? Why? You ripped all of them. How much were they stretched because of your ass?" Aria teased but soon regretted it as Adagio gave her a death glare.

Sonata wanted to join the teasing. "Big butt!" she chanted in a cute and cheerful tone, but Adagio didn't give her a mad look but a happy one. This made Aria a little angry.

Mr. Lucia took out his wallet and was going to hand them cash, but again, Adagio stopped him from helping.

"No, papi. I have money saved up, so save your money for yourself."

He looked at her, and the look she gave him told him that no matter what, she wouldn't allow him to give her spending money. Aria, on the other hand, had no problem taking it.

"Thanks, papi!"

Aria pulled her hand back, but Adagio grabbed it and squeezed it really hard. Aria didn't need to look at her; she already knew the face that her big sister was doing. Aria could feel the killing vibe and quickly gave the money back.

"Never mind. I'll borrow some money from Adagio."

Adagio let go, gave her father a small smile, and told him not to worry. "We'll meet you when we are done. So look around the mall, okay? You don't need to come with us. We know how much you hate shopping with us."

"Okay, have fun."

They waved at him, and he drove off. They faced the store, noticing the three diamonds in the center of the store sign. Their father was right; the store looked very high-class. They were confused but curious about what was inside, as many people from the high to the lowest classes came out of it.

They walked in and were amazed at the store's beauty. Inside was an ample open space filled with mannequins in many different dresses and casual clothing styles. They noticed many people walking around, looking at the clothing. The marble walls and the floors were covered in a fancy carpet. There were stairs leading to another level with a vast open space with more racks and displays, with mannequins modeling more fashionable clothing.

Aria was the first one to speak. "¡Mierda, esto sí que es gente blanca!" she whispered.

Adagio couldn't help but agree, and she looked up at the second floor. She could see high-end pants on display, and her cheeks became pink. "Yes, and maybe they have pants my size..."

Aria agreed, but she didn't care about that. She could see many sundresses, making any woman look helpless and submissive. "The old saying, Lobo con piel de Cordero. My strong lobo will no doubt make me submissive if she sees me wearing that." She had an evil yet blushing smile, thinking of how strong Dashie was, making her blush harder.

Sonata could feel her sister's happiness. The three had been together for a long time, so she knew when both of her sisters were having a good time. She soon saw them heading in different directions without remembering she was with them.

Poor Sonata wanted to follow them but didn't know who to follow first. She kept looking back at Adagio, then Aria, and vice versa.

Not noticing her sister was lost in what to do, Adagio and Aria kept looking at the clothes they wanted to check out. Adagio disappeared upstairs while Aria was out of sight as she headed to the far end of the store, leaving poor Sonata all alone.

"A-Aagio!?" Sonata whispered, her legs shaking. "A-Aria..." She held on to Mr. BunBun, squeezing the plushie tight as her autophobia started to act up. Even though there were many people in the store, she wanted to be with her sisters and only them, no one else.

Before she could lose her mind, Sonata felt a tap on her shoulder, and her face lit up. She thought it was one of her sisters. She turned around and saw no one other than Dashie herself.

"Sonata? Are you okay? Why are you standing all alone?"

Sonata didn't even think twice and hugged her. Dashie didn't react and just patted her on the head.

"DASHIE, YOU'RE HERE!" Sonata cried, rocking Dashie back and forth, making her stink between her large breasts. "You know when I need someone! It's almost like..." She stopped, realizing something. "...magic?" She suddenly heard muffled sounds, looked down, and saw a bright shade of red Dashie, who freed herself from the soft mountains that were Sonata's chest.

"Hey, glad to see you, but can you let me go? I can't breathe, and you are choking me with the softness!"

Sonata blushed and let her go. Dashie fell to the floor, coughing for air.

"I'm sorry, Dashie, I just got so excited, and..."

"Who's this?"

Sonata stopped and looked around, seeing not only Dashie's sisters but three older women. The one who spoke was smaller than the other two taller women.

Sonata pointed at her. "You are short!" with a smile on her face.

Dashie stood up, looking at Sonata and then at her mother, who was wearing a poker face, as the short comment deeply hurt her.

"Mother, this is my friend, Sonata. Sonata, meet my mother, Lucy." Dashie signaled Sonata to lower herself to her, which she did. "Hey, my mom doesn't like being called short."

Sonata nodded, looked at Lucy, and smiled at Dashie. "You take after her! The hair and being short!"

"Ugh..." Dashie felt a sharp pain stabbing her back when she heard that comment.

Sunny and Wallflower laughed, making Lucy snap out of sadness and ask Dashie who this girl was.

"Oh, she's my friend...Mom?" Dashie soon regretted telling her as she could see an overjoyed expression on her face. She quickly ran up to Sonata, holding her hands and crying, thanking her for being a friend to Dashie. "MOM!" Dashie blushed hard and tried to stop her mother, but her embarrassment was too much.

Dashie looked at Sonata, who was laughing.

"Your mom is funny."

Sonata looked and saw the other older women. She asked who they were.

"Oh, those are my moms too. Sunny and Wallflower." Dashie answered with no shame.

"Hi." Sunny waved her hand.

"Hello," Wallflower said with a warm smile.

"You're lucky, Dashie, you have three moms," Sonata commented.

"Four." Dashie corrected her.

Sonata was amazed, but she quickly remembered what Lyn had said.

"So why are you here?"

"I came here with my sisters, but they left me behind..." Sonata answered Dashie's question, her bunny ears buns flapping down in sadness.

When Dashie heard that, she remembered Aria was her sister, which means she...

"Aria is here..."

Dashie had a quick flash of naughty thoughts of Aria, who asked her to take charge and quickly placed her hands over her lower half. Luckily, none of her family noticed as they talked to Sonata, who told her why they were there. Of course, Sol and Dahlia weren't so happy about that, as Sonata now wanted to join them in watching Dashie wearing cute dresses.

"I want to see Dashie in a cute dress, too!"

Dashie wasn't looking forward to that, but looking at how happy Soanta was, she felt...happy? No, not happy. It was something else. She was seeing Sonata and was so delighted that it made her heart skip a beat.

"Fine, I will try a few more dresses," Dashie said, blushing and rubbing her head. "Like, you are my friend after all..."

Her sisters' gave off an aura of dark vibes when they saw her big sister acting like that to someone who wasn't them.

"Yay! I love you, Dashie!" Sonata was so happy; she truly loved Dashie with all her heart.

"Yeah, yeah..." Dashie looked away, trying to hide her blush, but she did smile.

Lucy was so happy that Dashie finally had a friend. She walked over to them and wanted to head to the dress section, but Sunny and Wallflower knew something was up between the teens.

"Sunny..."

"Yeah, I noticed it too..." Sunny answered back.

Wallflower clapped her hands together in happiness. "Sonata girl is in love with Dashie! She's in love! I can't believe it! Even Dashie is acting shy around her! Isn't that wonderful?"

Sunny said nothing as she watched Wallflower walk off to speak to Sonata but also to stop their daughters from giving the large teen death glares. Sunny felt worried for Aria but couldn't help but think it was a beautiful scene, seeing Sonata and Dashie happy and smiling. But she remembered how Aria was in love with Dashie and that another rival had appeared.

"...man, three-way romance, I don't know how I'm gonna explain this to her..."

A bit later, everyone picked dresses for Dashie to wear, and even Rachel, this universe Rarity, wearing a fancy white fur coat, joined in as she came by to check on her late friend's family.

"Darling, I'm shocked you're going to wear dresses! You act like your mother, Blitz, and her own mother, Dashiell, in hating wearing anything girly. Oh, and it's been long since I've seen your adorable sisters. Hello, girls!" Rachel waved at them, and the sisters waved back, not looking very excited to see her, but that was mainly because Sonata was between them, holding a pile of dresses. "My, you are getting quite big, you two."

Rachel raised her hands, making L-shape signs, and looked at the girls. She imagined them in cute dresses and other outfits and soon saw the perfect outfits for them.

"I'll be right back!"

She walked off, her white high heels making clicking sounds.

The twins weren't happy, as Dashie mostly picked dresses from only Sonata. The two were smiling and having fun. Soon, what was happening hit Dahlia on the head.

"Sol...I think we became the third wheel in this..." Her bangs moved slightly, revealing her dark black eyes and an emerald iris. She was beyond mad as she spoke. "Date."

Sol also became mad as she made fists in both of her hands. "She took away our date with our big sister! How dare she!"

Before the sisters could do anything, Sunny dropped a few dresses over Sol's head while Wallflower handed her daughter a few dresses. The girls sighed, as they couldn't do anything while their mothers were here.

Soon, Dashie and her sisters had enough dresses and started to change into them and show them off. The little sisters wore cute dresses, mostly from their mothers and Lucy. They weren't so happy, as none matched their big sister, and Dashie ignored the dresses they picked for her.

Dashie, on the other hand, who thought she would hate this, was smiling and having fun, thanks to Sonata, who made picking outfits fun.

"Come on, Dashie, give us a spin!" Wallflower cheered her.

Sonata clapped when she saw Dashie wearing a dress with bunny themes over it. She was right about Dashie looking cute wearing anything related to bunnies, even now.

"Yeah, spin for us, Dashie!" Sonata clapped.

Dashie blushed and started to twirl around. Sunny, Wallflower, and Lucy were amazed at how cute Dashie looked.

"I hate this..." Sol whispered, exiting the dressing room and returning to her usual outfit, the same with Dahlia.

They sat in the chairs, far from everyone, and waited for their big sister to finish. Their day was ruined, all because Sonata had to show up.

"We need to kill her," Dahlia said in a cold and emotionless tone, which scared Sol a bit. "She's trying to take our big sister away from us! FROM ME!"

"You mean, you and me..." Sol corrected her sister.

"Whatever, just help me. We need to kill her..."

Sol placed her hand over her sister's shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Calm down. If you kill her, big sister isn't going to forgive you. Besides, remember what I said before? We need to deal with her in another way."

"I want to make her disappear," Dahlia said sadly, making Sol rub her hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, sis. She will. We need to plan something up right now."

"I want her to disappear..." Dahlia repeated herself.

"Just wait a little longer, and I promise we'll get our big sister back," Sol promised, holding Dahlia's hand. "Let's go somewhere to think."

Meanwhile, Dashie was done with Sonata's outfits and placed them back. She looked back and saw Sonata looking at a cute black rabbit hoodie.

"You know, you should try that on. You will look adorable."

Sonata turned around, surprised that Dashie said she would look cute. "Really? Do you mean it?"

Dashie blushed and rubbed her head. "Well, you are cute, but I think you would look more cute wearing that."

Sonata held the hoodie to her chest and blushed. She quickly went to the changing room, and Dashie joined her as she needed to change into the dresses that her sister picked for her.

As the two girls were in the changing, Sonata asked Dashie a question.

"Hey, Dashie."

"What?"

"Do you believe in magic?"

"Well, there are many things that can't be explained, so yes, I believe in magic," she said, knowing magic is very real. "Why do you ask?"

Sonata wanted to ask her if she was magical, as Sonata kept getting these weird feelings. But what her father told her might be that she loves Dashie. She wasn't sure and became scared to ask her. "Oh, nothing. I just wanted to ask you."

"I see."

Sonata and Dashie stepped out of the changing room, revealing Sonata in the cute bunny hoodie while Dashie was wearing a fabulous but pretty flame dress that Sol picked out for her.

"You look awesome, Dashie."

Dashie blushed and turned her head away. "You look adorable, Sonata. You should buy it."

Sonata looked at herself in the mirror, blushing. "Really? I love it, but I don't have money. My sister has money but came here to buy something for herself." Her hoodie bunny ears flopped down in sadness, and Dashie wondered how she was doing that.

Hearing that, Dashie thought about it and nodded to herself. "I'll buy it for you. After all, you're my friend, right? Friends give each other gifts."

Sonata was shocked. She hugged Dashie, who once again was choking on the softness. Sonata was crying tears of joy, thanking her for the gift.

Dashie smiled and hugged her back.

"I'll give you a gift! Name it, Dashie!"

"Well, I don't know what I want..." she answered, being let go by Sonata. She wanted to think about it but noticed that her sisters weren't around. She wanted to show off the dresses that they picked out for her. "Let's put a pin in that for now. Stay with-" Dashie noticed her mom and Sunny were gone; maybe they were looking for the girls? She did see Wallflower was still looking at dresses. "With Wallflower, while I look for my sisters, okay? You can trust her."

Sonata nodded and went to the older woman, who was happy to see her.

Dashie walked around the store, wondering where her sisters had gone. She went to the far end and entered the sundresses section. As she looked for them, a shadow stalked her like prey. Dashie started to feel like someone was watching her, but when she turned around, no one was there.

"Must be my imagination..." she muttered, rubbing her head.

As she kept walking, the shadow got closer and closer until it was almost upon her. But Dashie dodged out of the way, and a fist landed where she stood. She looked and became scared.

"Aria!?"

Aria, wearing a brown sundress with a matching sun hat, glared at her but with a warm smile.

"Hello, my Lobo. You're not going to leave me hanging, are you?" She wrapped her arm around Dashie's neck, who was scared of her, not knowing what to say.

"W-What are you talking about, Aria?"

Aria leaned close and kissed her on the cheek, causing Dashie to blush and even more scared of her.

"I attacked you, but you haven't fought back. Why didn't you hit me, my Lobo? It's because you love me too. You don't want to hurt me."

"Wait, hold up, slow down. What are you talking about?!"

"It doesn't matter." She broke the hug and leaped backward. "Show me your fantastic strength! Give me a show of why I love you!"

Dashie sighed; it was like before; she wanted her to fight her, but at least she wasn't asking for sex like before. Still, Dashie felt that Aria would ask for that next, but she needed to think about escaping her.

"Don't tell me you've lost your will to fight? Show me the Lobo I love and fell in love with! Or else!"

Dashie saw her racing toward, her fist at the ready. Dashie took a stance, but as Aria got closer, her dress raised up, revealing her panties. However, it wasn't just any panties that made Dashie red.

"YOU ARE WEARING A THONG!?"

Dashie's reaction caught Aria off guard, but as she looked down, she remembered she was. She stopped at the underwear section, saw these, and had to try them on. She forgot about that as she saw Dashie walking by.

"EEEK!"

Aria tripped as she tried to hide her panties. She fell forward, but Dashie caught her before she could hit the floor. Catching her at the speed she was falling, the two fell into a roll and rolled into the changing room, the door closing behind them.

"...my head..." Dashie whispered, rubbing her head and opening her eyes. "WHAT!?" she shouted, as she had a great view of Aria's front-facing thong as Aria was on top of her.

Aria looked at the situation, became red, and was going to get off but realized this could be an excellent way to check something if those panties did their job. She quickly grabbed Dashie's dress and was about to lift it to see the-

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Dashie quickly rolled her over and sat on her. She flipped around and glared at Aria, mad that she was about to see her little Dashie again.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? ARE YOU A PERVERT??" Dashie screamed, holding her down and glaring at her hard...but only to stop as she saw Aria looking happy but also... submissive. "A-ARIA!?"

Aria looked away, blushing hard. "That's my sweet and powerful Lobo...now show me more."

Dashie knew what was happening. Aria had gone mad with lust again, but seeing her act like this made her heart beat faster. It was like before, seeing her like this. Dashie felt excited and didn't want to hold back. She could do whatever she wanted to Aria, as she wanted this too, right?

"Aria, if I do this, promise not to tell anyone."

Aria was confused. Why wouldn't she tell anyone how strong Dashie was? But she nodded.

Dashie's breathing became heavy as she held Aria down, but harder; she could see and feel Aria becoming more submissive. She could hear her asking her to show more power, not wanting Dashie to stop. Dashie slowly leaned in, wanting to kiss her, but she could see Aria closing her eyes and flinching...

Dashie quickly backed away, standing. "I can't! This doesn't seem right... I'm sorry, Aria, but I can't have sex with you. It's not...right?" Dashie could see her looking at her with a blank expression.

Aria blinked once and spoke. "Huh?" Her face became pure red, and she covered her body in shame. She now realizes she did it again with the misunderstood comment. "STUPID MUTT! I MEANT ABOUT SHOWING ME STRENGTH, NOT T-T-T-..." she looked away and whispered. "That..." She was beyond embarrassed.

Dashie didn't know what to say. She had thought that Aria wanted sex by the way she was talking, but it seemed she was the one who misunderstood.

The two stayed quiet as they sat in that small changing room. Dashie eyed Aria, who was eyeing her back. The two didn't know what to do in this very awkward moment.

Dashie broke the silence. "I can't be the person you want me to be..." Dashie could see her looking at her now, asking her what she meant by that. "Aria, you love me because you think I'm something I'm not. I'm not strong or anything. I'm a..." She looked at her lower half; her hands were over 'it' as she hid it even more with the dress she was wearing. "A girl. Not a boy. I can't give you what you want."

Aria could see that Dashie was in pain as she said that. She looked away.

"Look, I understand. You were born as a guy but see yourself as a girl. So what?"

Dashie was surprised to hear that from her, but even then, Dashie knew she had it wrong, but she couldn't ever tell her the truth. That was born as a girl, but her slime gave her 'that.' She couldn't say anything and was forced to stay quiet.

"Like I told you, it's your damn body and what you want, not others. And don't tell me you can't, as I see you are capable. You can take punches and even brush them off like they don't hurt you!" Aria's face lit up, remembering how strong Dashie was. "Or how you held me down with such strength and even that mightily sinister vibe you had, you almost broke my wrist! I was amazed ...and." Aria soon started to blush, and her heart began to beat fast. She looked at Dashie, who was looking back with a worried look and couldn't stop her mouth from spilling everything. "And you could do whatever you want to me, and I would enjoy it! So come on, Lobo! Take me right here, right now!"

Dashie didn't say a word. She wondered if Aria realized she was doing it again, saying something that came out wrong and needed more context, but seeing her acting so cutely, she had to hold back.

"Aria..."

Aria closed her eyes, raised her fist, and waited for their battle. But the struggle she had hoped for wasn't the one she wanted, as she could feel Dashie kissing her on the lips. She was upset, but at the same time, she was happy too. She could feel Dashie moving her lips away as she broke the kiss. Aria opened them, seeing Dashie somewhat crying.

"I want this so bad, but because of that, I might not have feelings for you and just want someone to love me, Aria..." Dashie wiped her tears, but Aria could see her becoming strong as she had an unbreakable, determined look. "I won't hurt you! I won't lie to you. I want to be the person you see before you. You said you don't see me as a boy, but I know you do." Dashie turned red. "Because of how you tried to take a peek down there..." She shook her head and stayed focused. "But I won't use you like that. I'll become the person you see in me. I will get stronger and better!" Dashie placed her hand on Aria's cheeks, making the two blush. "But let's start as friends, okay? Then maybe if things work out and I can fully let you in...then maybe we can..." She leaned in and kissed her again.

Aria blushed as she could feel her body shaking with excitement. She was acting like prey rather than a predator. She wanted this. She could feel her heart beating faster and faster, feeling Dashie's soft lips pressed against hers. She closed her eyes and kissed back, the two now kissing each other in the changing room, hoping no one would come in. The way she saw Dashie being so firm was what she loved about her, and now this was all because of that.

The kiss lasted a while until Dashie broke it, making the two gasp for air.

"I...I think that's enough for now, Aria," Dashie said, her breathing hard and heart beating fast. "We should be friends starting...n-n-" Dashie started to turn red and could feel herself losing it as she saw Aria on her back, mimicking how a dog was on its back. She had a cute look on her face, a very submissive and cute look. Her dress was pulled up a bit. Dashie believed she could see the thong again, but she didn't need to think about it much longer as Aria raised her dress, showing off the sexy thong.

Aria hid her blushing face with her pulled-up dress. She looked away, did a cute little dog whimper, and spoke. "Friend or lover, I'm yours, my sweet and loving Lobo. You are and forever will be my alpha. Now show your dominance and mark me..."

Dashie had no clue what she was talking about. She was trying her best to control herself and not go insane. When she realized that Aria was doing it again, she laughed.

"Aria, you sound like you want me to have sex with you. You must think twice about your words, or I'll conclude incorrectly."

Aria hid more of her face. "No, you are right. I want you to mark me as yours by fu-"

Dashie didn't let her finish as she quickly exited the changing room and ran for it. She was leaving Aria all alone.

Aria sat up but still hid her face with her dress. She slowly lowered it. She was a blushing mess but also upset.

"Stupid mutt! So, she likes playing with wounded prey, huh? Fine, I'll show her what I can do next time and make her mark me as hers."

Aria stood up and fixed her dress. She stepped out and froze. Outside the changing room was Sunny, her music teacher. Sunny thought she saw Dashie go down here but suddenly saw her running out of the changing room. She wasn't expecting to see Aria in there. The two blinked...until Aria gave her a thumbs up, making Sunny return the thumbs.

"Good job!" Sunny said, not realizing what truly happened there, as she was on Aria's side in making Dashie Aria's girlfriend.

Dashie didn't know where to go, and she didn't care where. She just needed to be far from Aria and her horny, misunderstanding ways. But Dashie did have a smile as she went upstairs.

"She does like me. She doesn't care if I'm a boy or not. Sure, she still doesn't understand what I meant, but we can be friends, and I can open up to her, and she can understand me!"

Dashie stopped in the middle of the walkway. She realized she wanted Aria to be her friend. She liked hanging out with Sonata, as she made things more fun. She remembered something her grandmother once said, but she heard Rachel speaking to a customer before she could fully remember it.

"Nonsense darling, you will look fabulous in these pants! Your incredible asset will be shown off!"

Dashie could see Rachel in the mirror part of the changing room area, holding a few pants. Rachel was behind the person, so Dashie couldn't get a good look at the customer, but when she heard her speak, she immediately knew who it was.

"You sure? I want to show off my butt to someone..."

It was Adagio. Dashie didn't know why, but hearing her voice made her feel...happy. She couldn't stop her heart from racing. She quickly ran over to them.

"QUEEN!"

"Huh?" Rachel said, moving to the side when she heard Dashie coming closer. Because of that, she revealed what Adagio was wearing: blue jeans with holes in the knees. Her ass was being shown off, and her curves were perfect. Rachel was surprised by Dashie's sudden appearance and the way she reacted. She could see Adagio looking at Dashie in the mirror with a vast nervous smile as if she wasn't expecting her to be there.

Dashie, on the other hand, was shocked. She was speechless, and her eyes couldn't leave the sight.

"What's wrong, dear?" Rachel asked, but her question didn't seem to register. Dashie was frozen.

Dashie kept looking but quickly remembered about Adagio and looked away, sweating in fear and red-faced.

"I-I-I-I..." Dashie took a deep breath, trying her best to stay calm. "Queen, w-why are you here?"

"Queen?" Rachel whispered, looking over to Adagio, who didn't dare to move from her spot, but she answered her.

"My underling! I am happy to see you here, too. Why am I here? Well..." she finally moved and did pose to show off her ass to Dashie. "I'm taking your advice and loving my booty more. So, I'm buying some new pants."

Dashie felt like passing out, but she knew she couldn't because of what Adagio was doing. Adagio was posing and showing her ass off to her. She had to stop herself from getting too happy, and thankfully, when she remembered what Adagio had said to her, this made her completely stay focused on Adagio and not her ass.

"WAIT! REALLY!?" Dashie shouted, walking and standing next to her. "That's great! You should love your body more! It's like Aunt Rachel always told me." Dashie coughed and made her hair into Rachel's hairstyle. "Darling, loving oneself is important! It makes one feel special and powerful. And one's body is their castle, and their beauty is their weapon!" Dashie did a cute spin and ended it by making a hand sign and blowing a kiss.

Adagio giggles at the silly impression. "Yeah, your aunt is very...something."

Dashie was back to normal. "She is. I don't think she ever gets sick of being in fashion and makeup."

Rachel had a tiny blush. "I don't act like that...okay, I do."

Dashie quickly said sorry to her aunt, who was pouting a bit.

"No worries, dear. You are not wrong, but I am still your aunt, so watch it."

"Sorry, Aunty."

Rachel smiled and petted Dashie on the head but quickly dusted her head. "Odd, are you okay? It looks like you were in some tuffle."

Dashie quickly remembered the situation she had and backed away from her aunt.

"Oh, well, you see..."

Adagio noticed it, too, and quickly approached her, worried. "Did someone attack you?"

Dashie said no but could tell these two wouldn't let it go. She needed to change the subject real fast. She looked around for anything to change the subject and pointed a pair of pants on a rack.

"H-Hey! How about you wear those pants? I think they will look good on you!" She grabbed it, along with random other pants, and gave it to her. "These too, Queen! I know you can rock these with your butt!" Dashie pushed her into the changing room and closed the door, leaving her and Rachel outside.

"Huh, well, that was interesting," Rachel said, seeing her niece looking like she was about to pass out.

"Sol? Dahlia?"

Rachel and Dashie looked behind, seeing Lucy looking for her as she walked down the walkway. She soon saw them waving at her and hurried over.

"Sweetie, have you seen your sisters? Sunny and I noticed they were upset, and they suddenly left." she stopped, wondering why Dashie was up here. At first, she thought it was to look for the girls, but she heard someone say they were ready and walked out of the changing room.

Lucy was speechless, as it was the girl that Blitz shared in the group chat. She could see the girl blushing madly while she looked over to her daughter, who had a slight blush. That's when Lucy realized that Blitz was wrong. Dashie didn't have a new friend, no. Dashie had a future girlfriend. She couldn't hold in her excitement and quickly approached the young woman.

"It's so nice to meet you!"

Adagio blinked. "What?"

Lucy smiled. "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lucy Reinbold, Dashie's mom. Are you a friend to my daughter?"

Adagio didn't know what to say.

"Yes, she is," Dashie said, getting between them. "She's a lovely person and a good friend. Her name is Adagio! So, mom. How about-"

Lucy ignored her daughter, happy to see how embarrassed she was, and was more interested in getting to know Adagio better. She started asking questions, but Rachel stopped her.

"Darling, if the little girls are missing, I bet they are still in the store. Let's find them, okay?" she started to push Lucy away from Dashie and Adagio. She winked at them, making them blush more, and soon, the two were alone.

Dashie sighed with relief and turned around, seeing Adagio standing there. "Sorry, I should've introduced you to my mother, but mothers can be a little excited."

Adagio wasn't saying a word. Dashie could see that Adagio was flusher about something. "Shit, did my mom act too weird or something. Sorry, Queen. She didn't mean it. She was just-"

"N-no. It's fine. I...it's nice to see a parent so open and loving, " she said, looking away.

Dashie tipped her head. "Then what? What's wrong?"

Adagio said nothing, only turning around, showing off her butt as this made Dashie scared, freak out, but also happy as she saw what kind of pants she gave Adagio to wear.

On the bright blue pants were red letters that said 'Queen.' They were tight, showing off the outline of Adagio's panties, and her ass looked so good.

"Do I look good?" Adagio said, trying to hide her red face.

Dashie didn't know what was happening, but her heart was telling her something, and her body was reacting badly. She looked up, trying not to look at Adagio's ass anymore.

"Yeah, you look fantastic in it! Try on the others and see which one you like the most," she answered, and deep down, she hoped the other pants she picked out for her by chance also looked sexy.

Adagio smiled and crossed her arms. "Well, you are my underling! So, of course, you know what I will look good in!" She quickly went back inside and got changed.

Dashie stood outside, her heart pounding. "I need to calm down, or little Dashie is going to say hello to her, and I don't want her to know I have a-" Dashie stopped thinking as she heard a weird cry from Adagio in the changing room. It sounded like she was hurt.

"QUEEN!?"

Dashie wasted no time and rushed into Adagio's changing room. Before she entered it, she stepped over Adagio's shoes and tripped into the room, falling on top of Adagio, who was now against the wall. The impact closed the door.

"U-Underling!?"

"Queen!?"

The two were super close. Their noses were almost touching. Both had bright red faces, and they couldn't help but stare at each other. Dashie was the first to break it. She could see Adagio holding something. A closer look; it was a new pair of pants she would wear, but the rear end split open. It didn't take a genius to know what happened.

"I broke them...." Adagio whispered, making Dashie realize she was still on top of her. She quickly got off but tripped over the shoes again, making Dashie fall backward and taking Adagio with her.

Dashie leaned against the door while Adagio was on top of her; again, their faces were super close, and their lips almost touched.

Dashie was speechless, but she was also happy. Her body was burning up. She could feel Adagio's body. They were touching each other. Her hands were holding Adagio's hips, her hands slowly feeling Adagio's ass. She could feel how soft Adagio's panties were, but Dashie soon snapped out of it, seeing how Adagio was flinching when she felt her hands.

"S-Sorry! I-I..." she didn't know what to say or do.

Adagio didn't say anything, but she did start to get off of her. "It's okay. Besides, you are my underling, so I'm allowing it! It's not like it feels good."

"What?" blinked Dashie.

"WHAT!?" Adagio screamed in her thoughts, realizing what she said out loud. She freaked out. "You heard me! Please don't make me repeat it. Your Queen likes it when you touch me there!" Adagio started to scream at herself, as she didn't know why she had just said that. Worst thing, she kept talking. "Don't think I'll let you do that all the time, though. Only when I'm in the mood, okay? Like right now, please touch my butt more!"

Adagio hid her face in her hands, wishing the floor would swallow her whole. Dashie was stunned and didn't know what to say about what she had just heard, but she quickly remembered why she had come in here.

"Wait, you that cry before. Was it because you ripped those pants? Not because you weren't hurt?"

Adagio wasn't answering, but Dashie could tell the reason, which was true.

"Don't worry about it. Aunty Rachel says things like that happen occasionally, so she doesn't charge anyone for ripped clothes. I can buy those for you if you like them."

Adagio removed her hands from her face and looked at Dashie with confusion. Not because she would buy the pants for herself but because of what she said before.

"Wait, you thought I was hurt?"

Dashie was embarrassed, and she quickly looked away.

"I-I didn't want you to get hurt. Even if you fell..."

Adagio looked away, blushing but also letting her Queen side take over. "Ha! Your queen is more than fine. Nothing can harm her! It was stupid for you to think-" she was forced to stop as she felt Dashie squeezing her ass cheeks.

"IT'S NOT STUPID!"

"AH!"

Dashie realized she shouted, thinking that's why Adagio just screamed. "Sorry, but it's not. When I heard you getting hurt...I just wanted to save you. That's all." without realizing it, Dashie carefully and warmly let go of Adagio's ass cheeks and started to massage them all loving-like. "When I heard your voice...I became happy, but hearing you sound hurt or in pain made me sad and scared. I didn't want to hear it. I want to hear you be happy, and I want to make you happy." Dashie gave her a warm smile.

Adagio wished she had heard what Dashie was saying, but feeling how wonderful Dashie was in touching her, Adagio's eyes closed. Her body was melting into her hands. She leaned forward, resting her head on Dashie's chest.

"That's right. Keep making your queen happy," she whispered, making Dashie happy.

"Well, at least she understands. Now I should-" Dashie stopped her thoughts as she realized something. She could feel something warm and soft in both her hands. Something told her to stop, but her hands kept going. She started to sweat as she looked down and saw Adagio on her chest, blushing deep red and-

"Ah..."

Dashie's hands were squeezing her ass, and she wasn't letting go. "I...uh....I..." this whole time, she had been touching Adagio's ass.

"Ah! Underling?"

Dashie stopped. Her hands were trembling, and her heart was racing. "Y-Yes?" she started to shitting bricks.

Adagio finally could stand up, and Dashie finally let go. She hated herself because she touched her butt like that, but at the same time, she was glad she did.

"Well, thank you for helping your queen," she said, unsure what else to say. She quickly handed the broken pants to Dashie. Here, tell your aunt what happened." She opened the door and pushed her out, causing her to land on the floor on her rear. "I think I'm done looking for pants. I'll buy whatever you give me. Thank you."

Dashie watched as the changing room door closed. She sat there, hating what she did to Adagio.

"How can I make it up to her?" Dashie looked around and saw that no one was there. She looked at her hands, remembering the feeling on them. With just a quick thought, she could feel little Dashie starting to get happy, too. "NO! STAY DOWN!" she punched little Dashie, making her scream in pain and falling forward. "...stupid slime..."

After some time, Adagio came out of the changing room and returned to wearing the yoga pants she had been wearing. She picked a few pants she liked and was about to head to the checkout but saw Dashie waiting, sitting on a chair. She had broken pants still, but Adagio could tell that Dashie looked worried.

"Hey, um...did I upset you?" Dashie asked, unsure what else to say.

"Nope. Why?"

"You were a little quick when you kicked me out of the changing room after I-"

Adagio put her hand over Dashie's mouth, silencing her. She now knew why Dashie was worried, which made Adagio even more happy. Dashie felt her up and regretted it, and Adagio didn't want to discuss it. She could tell Dashie was ashamed and didn't want her underlings to think wrong about what happened.

"Look, I ordered you to do it, but I should be blamed, seeing how you are acting, and it's not your fault. So, don't worry. Besides, I think of it as a massage. Y-Yeah, a massage. And a good massage should never upset the queen, so don't worry. Understand?"

Dashie looked away, a little embarrassed. She nodded, understanding Adagio.

"Good." She could still see that Dashie was upset and sighed.

Dashie still felt like shit, and kind of sad how Adagio brushed it off like it was nothing. She shook her head and faced her...only for the two to kiss...

"Huh?" Dashie said in her thoughts.

Adagio was freaking out, as she wanted to kiss Dashie's cheek, not on the lips, but Dashie moved her cheek, and it ended up on her lips.

"AH! S-S-Sorry!" Adagio quickly covered her lips and stepped back. "I-I meant to kiss your cheek. I was trying to say it's okay. Sorry."

Dashie said nothing but had a slight blush. She stood up, holding Adagio's hands.

"Queen..." she smirked. "You spoil me too much!" Dashie said, not wanting to embarrass herself or Adagio. It was best to smooth this over, but deep down, Dashie liked the kiss, which made her feel even more confused. It felt like a spark was burning within her.

Adagio was surprised at Dashie, but it didn't take long for her queen side to return.

"HA! OF COURSE, UNDERLING!" she faced away, acting smugly. "Only the best for my underlings!"

Dashie could tell Adagio was nervous, but at the same time, Adagio looked cute. Dashie blushed a bit, thinking about Adagio kissing her more, but quickly shook her head, stopping her thoughts.

The two started talking, but Dashie soon remembered her sisters and how she needed to find them. She waved goodbye to her and left.

Adagio waved goodbye, a little sad that Dashie had to leave, but she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around. Standing there with a happy smile was Lucy.

Sonata and Wallflower were still waiting. Sonata played with Mr. BunBun while Wallflower watched, smiling.

"So, how long have you known Dashie?" Wallflower asked, making the tall girl stop playing with her plushie.

"Only a day, actually," Sonata said, putting Mr. Bun Bun down. "But I can say she is so cute and friendly. She's fast, nice, caring, and so pretty!" but her ears flopped. "But..."

"But?"

"When I'm near her, I feel like there is magic between us. Papi told me I was in love with her and to take it slow. Don't jump straight in, but..."

Wallflower could tell how sweet this girl was; honestly, she could see her younger self in her. She looked away, smiling.

"Your father is correct. Don't jump straight in. If you want to be friends first, then do it. Don't force yourself. Let it grow naturally. That's what I did with Blitz, Dashie's mother. I'm not like Sunny in hiding how I felt, but also not like Lucy in being open. It took a while, but we started talking and became friends. From there, I fell for her more, and when the time was right, we became lovers, and we had Dahlia. It was perfect." she looked back at Sonata, grabbing her hands. "I can also tell how much you make Dashie happy. She hates wearing dresses, but she acted so differently with you here. She was smiling, giggling, and just being so cute. I think she likes you."

"Really?" Sonata said, looking at her with a spark in her eyes.

Wallflower nodded. "Yes, and I'll be at your counter, sweetie. If you need help or want to talk, come find me, okay?" she handed her a business card with the location of her flower shop.

Sonata smiled, holding the card close to her heart. "Thank you, Ms.Wallflower!"

"No problem, sweetie."

Meanwhile, Sunny and Aria talk after Aria changes back into her regular outfit. Sunny asked if she followed through with advice.

"I did! I let my feelings in and went with the flow! I became her prey, and she attacked! But..." Aria felt upset.

"But?"

"She didn't bite me like how I wanted. Sure, she did attack, but in hunting terms, she likes playing with her meal before eating it. She likes to tease."

Sunny was shocked, but not as shocked as she was happy. "I'm happy for you. You got a chance. That's all that matters." she placed her hands over Aria's shoulders, smiling so hard. "Okay, listen up, I bet she blitzes it because she's like her mother, Blitz. Something is too much. She runs for it!" she closed her eyes, remembering another reason but how Aria looked okay, nothing was revealed to her about Dashie secret. She opened her eyes. "But remember, take it slow with her, okay? Don't push too much, or you will be-"

"...making her bored with her meal, right? Like a predator losing interest in its prey, right?"

Sunny was shocked but happy. She nodded. "Yes, that's exactly it!"

Aria nodded. "Okay. Thanks, teach, but I need to ask. Why do you care so much? I know you already explained it, but still, Why?"

Sunny stopped smiling and turned serious. "Because I know what it's like, wanting to show how much you love someone but never showing it too much. I don't want to see someone follow in my mistakes. Sure, it worked out in the end for me, but all those wasted years and one point..."

"T-Teach?"

Aria could see Sunny crying, who realized it too and quickly wiped them away.

"Sorry. A few times, I thought I lost Blitz to... 'accidents,' and I hated myself for never admitting my love to her. Thinking I was never going to see her again. That's another reason I don't want to see you regretting anything."

Aria suddenly saw the image of her mother in Sunny. They were so alike, tough but caring. Deep within Aria, she missed her mother and wished she was here.

"Mom..." she thought.

Sunny quickly smiled. "So, you are all set, but don't worry, and I'm here if you need help." she took out a card from a club and handed it to her. "You can see me after school here. I work for a club there at night. Which, by the way, I want to ask-"

Aria toned her out as she looked at the card. The name of the club was Crusaders of the Markers. She could see a pony wearing a cape on a shield.

"Sounds like a cool place. I'll check it."

Lucy and Adagio were sitting in the changing room area. Adagio was slightly surprised at how Dashie's mother acted around her. Like acting, she was already a part of the family.

"She's a strange woman, isn't she?" Adagio said to herself, not sure how to act around her.

Lucy giggled. "I'm strange, but it's part of my charm." She could see Adagio covering her mouth, realizing she had said it out loud. "Oh, honey, don't be worried. I know I can act strangely around others. Even more so when I get... 'inspired' by something for my writing and drawing."

"You write and draw?"

"Yep, but not like the mainstream trash. I prefer my own thing and a certain genre. Anyway, let's talk about you."

"Me?"

Lucy nodded. "Yes, I want to hear all about you and Dashie. Please don't be upset; my wife told me about you. You should know her. She's your gym teacher." Adagio remembered and nodded. "Well, like I said. Blitz told me how you two acted around each other. Blitz thinks you two are friends, but I can tell otherwise!"

Adagio blushed, asking her what she meant by that.

"Honey, you two are so in love, you're afraid to admit it! I saw you putting up a wall between you and her." Adagio became worried. "But I couldn't hear what you two were talking about. Too far away to hear anything." Adagio sighed with relief. "Anyway, it's cute how you two are awkwardly flirting and kissing. Don't worry, Dashie can be a little awkward sometimes, but she's a good girl. I want to make sure you understand that."

"Understand what?"

"That Dashie has some...problems with her body. Don't get me wrong, Dashie is perfect the way she is, and I would never want her to change. You should know that she has...an issue. That's why I'm telling you this. I don't want you judging her unfairly and making her feel worse. She doesn't want to feel like a freak."

Adagio felt hurt hearing that Dashie would call herself a freak, but Lucy kept talking.

"Dashie's body is so different, but she's still my baby girl. She's like Blitz; she cares for others and would help anyone without thinking about herself. She will jump in without overthinking, only that she needs to be there for someone she cares about."

Adagio blushed even more, looking at her hands.

"She did that just now...she thought I hurt myself and rushed into the changing room and...!" she quickly covered her mouth, fearing she said too much.

"What did she do? Please, don't keep this a secret. Tell me."

Adagio was shaking, but Lucy's look showed her to trust her.

"She..."

After a quick run down, Lucy took out a small notebook and wrote something down as she tried to hide her drool. "Oh, that's a good idea for a future story."

"Miss Reinbold?" Adagio called out to her, wondering why she was drooling a bit.

Lucy quickly wiped her mouth and closed her book. "Anyway, nothing happened, right? So, no worries; if something happens, make sure it's consensual and not forced. If she's hurting you, tell her."

"What? Of course! She's so sweet. Even when I tried to play it off as nothing, she was still upset with herself..." she sighed. "It's like you said. She cares and doesn't want anyone hurt. When I'm near her, I can't help but feel calm and happy. I feel love, I love her, but there is something else...something within me..." She placed her hand over her chest but soon noticed Lucy's hand. It pointed at her heart.

"A spark was lit within you, honey." Adagio was surprised at what Lucy said, as it was too accurate. "Love is part of the spark within us. It comes and goes, but only a true soulmate can keep it burning and warm." she placed her other hand over her own heart. "That happened to me when I met Blitz and the others. When you find that spark, don't let it go. Be there for your loved one, or they may leave you, and it's too late."

"But Miss Reinbold, what if-"

"I know what you're thinking, honey, and don't worry. Dashie is like Blitz but also like her late grandmother. Even though she had never met her, Dashie is very much like her. She's sometimes very stubborn but also very loyal to what she wants. If she wants something, she will go for it. Never give it up. Even if you hurt her or she hurts you, she will always be there for you. That's her love."

Adagio didn't know what to say, as all this was too much. She knew she was in love with Dashie, but did Dashie feel the same way? Her mother was making it seem that way.

"I know what you're thinking, and yes, she loves you, honey." Lucy started to giggle. "Plus, my little girl isn't that bold enough to grope another girl's ass unless she had deep feelings for them. I never thought my daughter was a pervert, though, but oh well." she started laughing, which made Adagio embarrassed. Lucy looked away, blushing as she spoke in her thoughts. "I guess the apples don't fall far from the tree..."

"M-Miss Reinbold! P-Please stop. It's embarrassing."

"Sorry, sorry." Lucy waved it off and took out her phone. "Here is my number, and you can come over any time. Here is my address. If you need advice or help, I'll be here for you!" she did a small cheer. "I'm rooting for you! You and my baby girl will be so happy together!"

"Y-You really think so?"

"Of course, and besides, if you two get married, you will become part of the family, and then you can give us a grandkid!"

"Huh? What do you mean? We're both girls."

Lucy sweated as she forgot that Adagio didn't know yet. "By adoption! That's what I meant, yeah!"

"Oh, okay," Adagio said, then took out her phone. "But I hope I can make her happy. I know I will."

Lucy nodded. "I have a good feeling that you will."

Dashie looked around the store but still couldn't find her little sisters anywhere. It wasn't until she saw Rachel from her upstairs office. She was at the window and pointed to the roof stairway. She understood now and darted to it.

Dashie opened the roof door, and there were her little sisters, sitting near the edge and looking out to the mall and the town. She could hear them talking about something but was too far away to hear anything.

"Sol? Dahlia?" she called them, seeing the two suddenly spooked and standing up. "What?" Sol's eyes were red, and even looking at Dahila, she could tell they also cried.

Dashie got closer to them.

"What happened?"

Sol quickly wiped her tears away and told her she had an allergic reaction to a perfume sample. "It's nothing, big sis. Really."

Dashie looked at her, then at Dahlia, who was nodding to her. She knew they were lying and felt it was because of her.

"I know you're lying, and I know it's because of me." she sat down and motioned for them to do the same as she tapped her lap. Of course, the girls misunderstood it and quickly sat on her lap. She didn't correct them, not now. "Tell me. Tell me what I did wrong. Tell me everything."

Sol and Dahlia looked at each other, then at Dashie, who looked upset.

"Why did you run away?" Dashie asked.

"Because we were jealous," Sol said.

"You looked happy with your new friend," Dahlia said.

"We didn't want to ruin it." Sol looked down. "You were so happy with her. Even though today was about us..."

"It's our fault for ruining it. We are sorry, big sis. We didn't mean to run away." Dahlia apologized.

"You're right," Dashie said, shocking the two. "It is your fault for running away, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry." She bopped their heads and held them tight. "Idiots. I know you two can handle yourselves, but what if something terrible happens to you? That you can't protect yourselves? " She held them harder and could feel tears coming out. "I won't be able to forgive myself if something bad happens to you."

Sol and Dahlia cried, too, telling her not to cry as they would always be safe and never run away again.

"I'm your big sister, right? So, it's my job to protect and care for you. If anything happened to you, I don't know what to do..." she hugged them tightly. "You're so important to me, Sol. I know you can be a brute and loud, but that's what I love about you." Sol blushed when she heard that. "I love it when you are being yourself! Even if you annoyed me when you overdo it with your love for me. And Dahlia, I love you too. You are so kind and sweet. Always making me feel better and giving the best hugs." Dahlia also blushed, hugging her big sister more. "I will protect and love you two until the day I die. So, please, promise me, if you ever run away, come to me, and we can talk it out. Okay?"

She let them go and placed her hand over their heads, petting them.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored you two. Today was about hanging with you, not with my friend. I'm a bad sister, aren't I?"

"No!" the two yelled, surprising her.

"Big sis, you're not a bad sister!" Dahlia said, smiling at her.

"Yeah, and you're the best! Sorry for running away! Let's make it up to you by doing what you wanted!" Sol suggested.

Dashie smiled, telling her it was fine and they could do whatever they wanted, even finishing what they wanted from the start. She stood up after they got off.

"Let's finish wearing a dress like you wanted. See?" she did a spin. "I'm wearing the dress Sol picked out. It's perfect, right?"

The two nodded, and Dahlia couldn't stop blushing. She loved how her big sister was in a dress.

"So, you can pick any dress you want, and I'll wear it, and we can match, okay?"

Before the girls could agree, a strong breeze blew over the roof with a nightly gust of air. Dashie's dress flew up, revealing her underwear. Sol and Dahlia were frozen, their eyes stuck on Dashie's legs. Dashie was also surprised but quickly stopped her dress from blowing higher, but not before the girls saw her panties.

"Stupid wind!" Dashie madly said, her face red. She looked at her sisters. "Let's go back inside and finish wearing-"

Both girls shook their heads. "Nah, we are good!" both said in sync while a hint of black blood oozed out of their nose and gave their sister a thumbs up.

Dashie was confused but nodded. "Okay, if that's what you want." She turned around. "Let's get down. It's getting cold. We can head to the arcade next."

She was halfway down the stairs, then turned around. "You two coming?"

Sol and Dahlia faced away from her and whispered to each other. "Sol, please tell me you saved that with your magic!?"

Sol smiled, and with her horn appearing, she created a photo of Dashie's dress getting blown up.

"Good. Let's not show this to big sis. We don't want her to get upset, " Dahlia said.

Sol nodded and gave Dahlia a copy. "Agreed. We will keep this a secret between us, okay?"

They placed their photos away and hurried over to Dashie. But her sister quickly jumped on her and kissed her on the cheeks. Dashie almost fell backward, as her sister's weight was too much, but she caught herself and held them as they blushed.

"We love you, big sister!" Sol and Dahlia said.

"Y-Yes. I love you too." she smiled, and they kept heading down the stairs.

While holding her sister's hands, Dashie was back downstairs and about to head back to the dress section to change her clothes when she saw Sonata and Wallflower heading her way. At the same time, she noticed Sunny and Aria walking over, and from upstairs, she could see her mother and Adagio coming down.

"Dashie!"
"Lobo!"
"Underling!"

All three sisters quickly noticed they all called out to Dashie.

"Lobo?" Adagio said, questioning why Aria called Dashie that.

Aria gave a disgusted look to Adagio. "Underling?"

Sonata ignored her sisters, hurried over to Dashie, and picked her up while Dashie's sisters gave her a death glare.

"DASHIE!"

Adagio and Aria saw how bold their younger sister was toward Dashie. Both grabbed Dashie's arms, trying to pull her out of Sonata's grasp.

"Sonata, how do you know, Dashie!?" Adagio demanded, not happy about how Dashie was buried in her sister's bosom.

"Screw that; why are you calling my Lobo an underling!? She's not some weakling!" Aria, angry, placed her face into Adagio's face. "HOW DARE YOU TREAT MY LOBO AS SOME CHEAP UNDERLING!?"

"Sisters, calm down." Sonata giggled, enjoying the tug of war with Dashie's body.

Adagio fired back at Aria. "Why are you calling her wolf!? She's not some mutt! Plus, she calls me 'queen' and treats me as one! So, don't think she's just some low-life mutt!"

"Don't call my Lobo a mutt! Only I can do that!"

"Aria, ¿por qué actúas como si fuera tu novia?" Adagio called out in Spanish.

"¡Porque lo estará! ¡Ella va con mi lobo Alfa! ¡Mi compañera! ¿Por qué actúas como si ella fuera a ser tu pareja? ¿¡Eh!?" shot back Aria.

The three sisters kept pulling while Sol and Dahlia joined in, trying to save their big sister.

"What are they saying?" Wallflower whispered to Sunny and Lucy.

"I don't know," Lucy whispered back.

Dashie, who was trapped in between Sonata's breasts still, couldn't hear what was going on, but she knew she had stepped into something she shouldn't.

Under the town's mall, there was an underground cave system. Within the cave was a large lake, the surface of which shined like a light beaming down. A small lizard crawled by. It got closer to the water's edge and started to drink from it. The rocky edge it was on suddenly crumbled and fell into the water, causing a splash.

The lizard was pulled under and soon vanished into the darkness.

The surface calmed down, but the water slowly turned flash with a light but not a regular magical light. It looked like it was glitching out. Soon, the lizard came to the surface and swam back to the shore. Soon, another tiny lizard appeared, but it looked twisted and messed up like it was corrupted.

The two lizards fought until the corrupted one won, biting the other's neck and killing it. Then, the corrupted lizard slowly got into the water. As it did, it melted and sank into the water...
