Aria hid quietly behind the wall next to me. I forgot what we were doing in Sunset Shimmer's house. Aria brought out a plastic water bottle filled with a cream colored liquid. Now I remember! It was right after we lost our necklaces to The Rainbooms...

People started throwing food at us, as we ran as quickly as possible off the stage. When we were finally safe, we stopped and rested for a bit.
"These outfits are ridiculous, Adagio. When can we change?" Aria asked.
"Time will come. But I have a plan."
"Already?!"
"Yes, already. Do not doubt me. Now, Aria, what I need you to do is take this bottle and pour into Sunset's coffee at night."
"Uhm...I'm confused."
"What you need to do is, at 10:00 PM, Twilight will be visiting Sunset Shimmer's house. I guarantee they will make some coffee and drink it. Pour a couple drops into their cup when they are distracted, and wait for them to drink. Then, get them into the van, and you'll have to take Sonata with you, and bring them back to our base. Got it?" Adagio explained.
Aria just stood in confusion. She processed it through her head and finally got it. "What if they don't make coffee?" Aria asked.
"Take some tranquilizer darts with you." 
"Adagio, even I think that's stretching it a bit."
"Well, do it anyway! No time to lose!"
Adagio walked away.
"Now I'm stuck with O' Weird one."



"Sunset Shimmer, could you tell me how you can afford all this?" Twilight asked as she sipped her coffee.

"Sure. The human counterpart of me ran away from home and actually attempted suicide, but I took her place. I went back into the house she came out of and pretended to be her. Honestly, it was hard. Her parents were very nosy. I pay for this stuff by a maximum wage job on the weekends and some money her mom loaned me."

"What happened to your human counterpart?"

"I don't know. I convinced her not to kill herself, but she just ran off into the east."

"Huh. East..."
Sunset and Twilight continued their subtle conversation, meanwhile Aria and I hid behind a wall, holding that water bottle thing I said earlier. "What do we do with this thing? Can I shoot the gun? When we get home can I have some ice cream? Why-"

"Shut up, blue hair. I'll handle plan B. The time has come when they leave the kitchen." Aria said, watching as Sunset and Twilight headed into the other room. Aria raced quietly towards the counter with the bottle and poured a few drops in. She came back to our hideout. Then we waited for like a whole 5 minutes for them to FINALLY come back.

"Why do I love this stuff so much?!" Twilight said. She took a sip from the coffee. For a moment, she was perfectly normal. Until the stuff kicked in. She wobbled around on her feet, and her eyes slowly began to close. "Sunset help," She muttered in a small voice. She fell onto the ground.

I was so happy our plan WORKED this time! I jumped out of our hiding spot and squealed "YAY! IT WORKED!" 

We can all imagine how that turned out.
