A New Dawn For The Dusk

Fluttershy was quickly at the door and beckoned Sonata to come in. They exchanged a friendly hug, then Fluttershy led Sonata up to a spare bedroom where she put her bag, then they went down to the living room to a sofa and sat. There was already two glasses of wine along with some leftover finger foods from the reception. Fluttershy handed one glass of wine to Sonata. They both took a sip and smiled at each other.

“I’m so glad you came, Sonata. I haven’t had people over in quite a while, except my mother.”

“I’m glad as well, I don’t get out much except to go to work or to go out with Dodgy or Aria, Mike and the girls.”

“Sounds like a very nice family.”

“The best I’ve had in over a thousand years,” replied Sonata.

Fluttershy sat quiet for a moment.

“You and your sisters are really over a thousand years old?”

“Yes, actually older, but we, or at least, I don’t think of it that way.”

“How so?” asked Fluttershy.

“Well, back on Equuis…”

“Equuis?” interrupted Fluttershy.

“You know about Equestria, right?”

Fluttershy nodded.

“Well Equestria is the main kingdom on Equuis. But Equuis it the name of the world. There’s more there than just the land of Equestria.”

“Oh,” said Fluttershy in understanding.

“For many hundreds of years, none of us remember how many, we lived as sirens. You saw a ghostly form of us at the Battle of the Bands. That is until we were banished here a little over a thousand years ago by an Equestrian wizard. Here we took on the form of you humans. Yes we still had our powers and immortality. We lived our life on the run for over ten centuries. Causing hate and anger, never staying in one place too long. The exception was a little over four hundred years ago when I fell in love with Silver Star.

I was with him twenty nine years and my sisters tried to stay in the background. With the war going on, there was enough negative emotions that they didn’t have to ‘hunt’ the way we had. They only had to be near. That’s how I came to meet and fall in love with Silver Star. We were married and tried to make a life as much as a soldier could.

All the while, Adagio and Aria were trying to get me to leave. But I stayed with my husband until he was killed.”

Sonata stopped, her eyes were filling with tears. Fluttershy handed Sonata a tissue and kept one for herself. Sonata continued, having to wipe her tears once in a while.

“We lived like that up until the Battle of the Bands. You know what happened there. We were panicked, we thought we were going to die with our gems shattered, and if were we back on Equuis we would’ve.

Things got hard for us, we couldn’t sing like we used to. We were so depressed, Aria had enough and left us.
It took us fourteen years of searching for a way to return to Equuis and a way to get our powers back, and then to find Aria.

We did find a way and we searched and finally found Aria. But to our surprise, Aria had changed totally. She’d met Mike and fell in love. She’d gotten rid of what was left of her siren stone, which turned out to be the magic that kept Dodgy, Aria and me from conceiving children in the past.

When we discovered this, after some disagreements, Dodgy and I destroyed what was left of our gems.

You can say that one life ended when we were banished here, another life ended when we destroyed our gems and became fully human. So you don’t need to think of me, or us as ancient creatures. We’re now just women for all intents and purposes, about the same age as you and your friends.”

Fluttershy had an odd look on her face.

“What’s wrong?”

“That’s a lot to take in,” said Fluttershy. “Do you regret making the decision to give all that up?”
Sonata took Fluttershy’s hand and looked into her eyes.

“Not one bit. We’re happier now than ever before. And we still have some of our powers.”

“Like what?”

“Well, even though we can’t sing like before, we still have perfect pitch. We can accurately sense what people are feeling and best of all…”

Sonata let go of Fluttershy’s hand, stood and bent down and gripped a leg of the couch with one hand and without getting off balance, Sonata lifted the sofa and Fluttershy, apparently with ease. Fluttershy’s head almost bumped the ceiling. She squealed like a little girl. Sonata was afraid that she scared Fluttershy, but from the smile, she knew different.

“Oh my gosh!” said Fluttershy as Sonata sat her back down and sat with Fluttershy again. Fluttershy quickly took Sonata’s hand. “Maybe we should’ve been nicer back at CHS!”

Fluttershy and Sonata laughed, they hugged the other as they got their mirth under control.
The laughing stopped, they loosened their embrace, looked into each other’s eyes, and smiled. Neither one knew why they wanted to kiss the other, but they thought it was inappropriate. At least at this time.

“Also, we haven’t decided if we need to see a dentist.”

“What for?” asked Fluttershy.

Sonata smiled very wide and showed that her canines were long like fangs.

“Wow, I guess I need to be careful!” said Fluttershy.

“It’s okay, Fluttershy. I only nibble!” Said Sonata with a wink and grin.

Sonata and Fluttershy giggled at what was being hinted at.

“So where’s Pine?” asked Sonata, looking around.

“My mother took him home with her. She said I needed some time to myself.”

“Too bad,” said Sonata with a smile. “I love children.”

They smiled again and released the embrace.

They both decided that it best to talk about other things. There was more wine and there was more talk.
Fluttershy would talk about what she and her friends had done after the Battle of the Bands. Sonata talked about her life on the run after the Battle of the Bands with her sisters, living, mostly, out of on old van. Trying to make some money performing or teaching music.

Laughs, talks and more wine. After the fifth bottle, they quit counting. This went late into the night. Neither remembered when they stopped and turned in.

The light was bright from the outside when Sonata slowly woke up. She was warm and comfortable. She realized, that although she’d brought pajamas, she was naked, just like how she slept at home. But she then noticed the feel of breasts against her own. A warm arm draped across her and her own arm around someone in bed with her.

Her eyes shot open. She and Fluttershy were in each other’s arms. Fluttershy’s smile would’ve made the angels jealous.

‘Oh my Faust! What the fuck have we done?’ Thought Sonata, hoping that her choice of words weren’t apropos.

Sonata didn’t want to move so she didn’t wake up Fluttershy because her arm was under Fluttershy’s pillow and therefor her head. But, it was a thrill to be holding someone so nice and pretty. And her breasts against her own was arousing. Other than her ‘sisters’, it was a feeling she’d not had for sometime.

Her mind was so busy that she hadn’t noticed that Fluttershy’s eyes were open.

“What’s wrong, Sonata?”

“You’re so nice and sweet, I don’t want to have ruined any friendship that had just started!”

“You haven’t,” said Fluttershy. “I don’t want you to think I’m some whore. My heart needed someone who understood my pain. I knew from when we first started talking, you understood because you’ve felt it, or still feeling it.”

“Thanks,” said Sonata, starting to tear up.

“It’s okay Sonata,” said Fluttershy. And then she gave Sonata a small but honest kiss. “Don’t be offended if we don’t do this again. Or at least anytime soon.”

However, she and Sonata hugged and shared a kiss.

“I don’t want to do anything to ruin this,” said Sonata. “But do you think it’d be okay if we hung out together?”

“I’d be hurt if you didn’t want to,” said Fluttershy smiling.

They agreed to get up and take a shower, they walked to the bathroom. Fluttershy turned on the water to let it warm. Sonata and Fluttershy held hands and just looked at the other, not always in the eyes. When ready, Fluttershy opened the shower door, Sonata watched. Fluttershy stopped, turned and said:

“Get in here silly.”

Sonata smiled, she didn’t have to be told twice.

As they showered, they took turns washing the other. More an excuse to run their hands over the other. But it felt so good that the two embraced and kissed deep an long. Yes there was some heavy petting involved. Neither one minded.

They dried each other off and went into Fluttershy’s bedroom to get dressed. But they again watched the other closely.

When dressed, Sonata cooked breakfast for them. It was delicious, Fluttershy hardly ever had anyone cook for her. When done, they cleaned up together and put away the dishes and went into Fluttershy’s living room.

Sonata was sitting on a sofa and Fluttershy brought them out coffee, she sat by Sonata. They sat quiet for a bit. Just sipping coffee and holding hands.

“Sonata,” said Fluttershy, “I hope you don’t think bad of me for this.”

“No Fluttershy,” said Sonata kissing Fluttershy’s cheek, “I only wished I’d someone to have comforted me when Silver Lance died.”

“Oh Sonata!” Said Fluttershy as she embraced her.

Sonata tried not to hug too tightly, as Fluttershy joined in the crying.

The day was spent with talk, laughter and just having a good time getting to know each other better. Both thought that it was funny how two people who almost destroyed the other had woke up in bed together after a night of tender lovemaking.

Fluttershy’s mother arrived with the baby and the mother was happy to meet Sonata. She mentioned how happy her daughter looked. Sonata held the little boy who giggled at every facial expression of the former Siren. Apparently, she hadn’t lost the power to charm.

It was a pleasant afternoon spent with Fluttershy’s mother along with the baby. After Fluttershy’s mother had left, Fluttershy insisted that she make dinner because Sonata cooked the night before. Sonata didn’t mind, it gave her time to play with Pine, who was totally enraptured with her.

Before dinner was ready, Fluttershy came in the room, took Pine and sat on the sofa. Something that had Sonata curious the night before became clear. Fluttershy held Pine, then she raised her shirt, unfastened a flap on her bra exposing part of the breast and the nipple. She put Pine to the breast where he started suckling right away.

“Fluttershy!” said Sonata, “how beautiful! I have heard of this, but had never seen it.”

Fluttershy just smiled.

“So that sweet liquid I got from sucking your nipple was…”

“My milk.”

“I didn’t take too much, did I? I hope Pine gets enough!”

Fluttershy laughed.

“Sonata, my body produces it all the time. If nothing else you help from my breasts not to become engorged and painful.”

Sonata watched the look on Pine’s face and the look on Fluttershy’s face as she looked at her son.

“I think it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Sirens do not reproduce like ponies or humans. We fed on emotional energy only. We are all females so no ‘sex’ involved and there are none of these!” Sonata said cupping her breasts.

Fluttershy giggled and had a sly smile. She raised the other side of her shirt, opened her bra, allowed Pine to suckle the other side, but she didn’t cover the previous side.

“Fluttershy!” laughed Sonata, who leaned over and licked a drop of milk on the vacant side.

Both women laughed and kissed carefully as not to disturb Pine.
