Prologue
[ Off the Coast of the Zebralands]
“Why are you still bitching about this shit!? “ Aria snapped. “It's because of you we're here in the first fucking place, so you should be complaining to a mirror or a still pool or what the fuck ever!”
“Really, I didn't hear your ass trying to stop us from heading to Ponyville.” Adagio snapped back
“I did!!! Multiple times I told you that going after, or any where near Canterlot was a bad idea!” Aria growled.
Sonata frowned watching the two screaming at each other. Both of them were in their natural forms and towered over the little ship that the third siren sat on.
The arguments between the two had gotten worse as the weeks progressed. Adagio was getting bored and more pissed as she had nothing to do but ruminate on the failure and the loss of her gem.
Aria was keeping herself busy fiddling with the ship, though Adagio easily got on her nerves, and unlike Sonata who ignored her eldest sisters remarks and insults, Aria pushed back just as hard. The pair had come to blows more than once in the other world and once or twice already now that they were home.
The snarling and shouting of the pair was likely going to build to a head and Sonata might need to step in and stop them before anything really bad happened. Adagio might be the older and stronger sister, but Aria being the middle child had actually learned how to fight. Granted that was as a human, so Sonata had no idea how that translated to giant sea serpent or pony form, but she didn't really wanna find out, particularly since Aria still had her gem and Adagio did not
“And what are they fighting over this time?”
“Literally nothing.” Sonata sighed. “They are fighting just to fight.”
“Unfortunately I cannot say I'm surprised, though I'm afraid I need to stop this.”
There was the snap of fingers and both Aria and adagio were back in their pony forms and both of them were dressed as babies complete with diapers, bibs , cute little bonnets, and pacifiers in their mouths to shut them up.
“Ooh, good one.” Sonata nodded.
“Ehh I was going for pink diapers on both of them rather than blue. And the rattles didn't show up. Guess I'm still tired.”
The fighting pair's eyes widened as they took note of the figure sitting on the boat next to Sonata
The draconequus stared back with his mismatched eyes, an expression of amused annoyance on his face.
“Is it odd that I sorta missed this? Whatever. It took me a bit to catch back up with you three. You should have followed the map I left and gone north.” Discord sighed as he floated up to his feet.
“What are you doing here!?” Adagio snapped after spitting out the pacifier.
“Right now stopping you two from fighting again, but more importantly making sure I don't lose you three a second time.” Discord sighed. “And let me tell you, there have been some near misses. I've already gone against my nature keeping you three safe and I'm probably going to get super leperocy again from this nonsense now. Those little capes are terrible to try and get rid of.”
“What?” Aria growled tossing the pacifier aside and standing up to get rid of the bib and the diaper with a grumble as she noticed the design on it. “Paw Patrol? Really?”
“The fact you got that joke amuses me, and it was either that or Disney Princesses like Adagio got.” Discord added as Adagio worked to get rid of the foal clothing.
“I never understood that, half of the girls counted as princesses are not even princesses until the end of their movie and only by marriage, so they are more Princesses in law.” Sonata pointed out and after marriage wouldn't they be queens? And why aren't Kida or Eilonwy counted as Princesses when they really are princesses even without getting married? Also do Lisa Simpson, and Dr. Frankfurter count as Disney Princesses since Disney bought Fox?”
“Yes. “Discord stated, ”But also no.”
“What are you even doing here father!?” Adagio snapped.
“Saving you three again. Do you have any idea how hard it was keeping Sparkle butt from turning you three into fried calamari?” Discord sighed. “But there's a bigger situation now and I am going to make sure you three are well out of the line of fire from this one.”
“What?” Aria demanded as her father snapped his fingers again.
A gray plain of rock and dust greeted the trio as they and the ship reappeared, a barren desert devoid of water and any sign of life.
The trio looked around in confusion at the vast expanse of nothing but gray around them, at least until Sonata looked up.
“Oh wow.” Sonata exclaimed.
Aria and Adagio looked up, following Sonata's gaze.
Far above them was a blue and green marble floating in inky blackness. Oceans and continents slowly rotated as the ball turned, or as where they were moved around the sphere. Small dots of light were speckled across the inky black around them, some near enough to almost touch, that drifted with their own patterns and movements, and others much further away that seemed not to move at all.
“Are we on the fucking moon!?” Aria gasped.
“It was the safest place I could think of given the situation.” Discord sighed. ”I've restocked the boat so a few weeks here shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully by then this will be finished and the leech will be gone.”
“Leech ?” Adagio asked.
“A magic thief. And not the Robin Hood sort. I have no desire to see what would happen if he got a hold of any chaos magic, that includes what he might steal from you three if he found you.” Discord pointed out.
“So you brought us to the moon?” Adagio growled.
“It was either this or bring you back to Neighlantis.” Discord replied with a glare at his eldest daughter.
“Oh.” Adagio winced.
“I am trying to respect your wishes to remain independent. But you three are not making this easy. Granted neither is the rest of Equss.” Discord sighed as he gestured to the blue and green globe above them. ”To be honest I am very veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery tempted to drag all three of you back to your mother. Though until I figure out if that would be 'for your own good', 'for her benefit', or for the biggest 'I TOLD YOU SO!!' ever, I'm holding off doing that just yet.”
“So what you've been following us the whole time we've been back?” Aria asked.
“Not the whole time.” Discord huffed." Just the fun and dangerous parts."
“I should have known it was you who left the ship.” Adagio grumbled.
“Well as a certain little princess of mine pointed out, I missed a number of birthdays. So I was working on fixing that.” Discord poked Sonata in the nose making her giggle.
There was silence for a few moments as the sirens looked between the planet, each other, and their father.
“So.... what, are we just, waiting here?” Aria asked.
“Well we could always pass the time by you three letting me know what you've been up to all these years. And if there's any colts I need to threaten with a shotgun.” Discord offered tapping his chin as he looked directly at Adagio, who did her best not to meet her fathers gaze.
“Yeah I'd rather not.” Aria grumbled. ”Sonata's Sonata, Adagio is a slut, and I've not found any one worth my time.”
“Be nice.” Discord chided.
“In any case, I'd rather not, and you probably know all of it any way.” Aria grumbled.
“Despite my 'VAST COSMIC POWER' " Discord stated, the tone echoing across the moon with a dramatic rumble. ”I don't know everything.”
“Yeah well maybe another time.” Aria muttered not liking the fact it seemed she was still being coddled and watched over like she was a child.
“I see." Discord frowned a little. “Well then, how about a card game instead? A little dragons made this one rather popular around Equss.”
Discord grinned as some sort of odd, fin shaped blade appeared on his arm with a collection of cards stacked atop it.
”It's time to duel?” Sonata gasped.
