"No luck" Adagio said as she slowly stepped out of the store, her friends gave different reactions to her words that could describe their personalities to someone that has never met them before.
"Again?" the normally cheerful one of the bunch, Sonata, asked. Her poofy orange haired friend simply nodded, slightly cursing at herself for failing once more to complete something.
"Ugh this is not getting us anywhere. Those ...Rainbooms, this is all their fault!" the moody and normally grouchy one, Aria, growled out in anger. Adagio had to hold her back from trying to punch anything that has a face, she tend to do that when she was really angry and she had gotten very lucky with the police on numerous occasions since she didn't have a home.
"Aria, we can't blame them now for our predicament, what's done is done. All we need to do now is try to survive" Adagio said slightly cooling the hotheaded girl down. Aria shrugged Adagio off of her and crossed her arms, she then turned her back on the others to look out at the street.
"So...what do we do now Dagi? Sonata said pulling a face that even Adagio couldn't help but smile at.
"Well, all we can do is keep looking. You two could look for jobs too...well you could Sonata, but maybe tomorrow, it's getting late and all the stores that could offer us a job are surely closing. Also don't call me that." Adagio replied.
"Okay, we might as well go home then" Sonata suggested, Aria scoffed at that.
"Oh yeah that area behind the bowling alley, such an amazing 5 star home!" Aria spat. This elicited a small squeal from Sonata as she reeled back from Aria's outburst.
Adagio turned to the pigtailed girl and replied back to her "Aria, stop complaining about the way we are living. As far as I remember: we have no, specific home, no money and no place to go to acquire said money. The back of the bowling alley may not be the best place to stay but at least they throw out edible food scraps for us to eat. Id you have any place better for us to go, then I'm all ears"
Aria stared at Adagio with a scowl on her face, Adagio only had determined look on her face that said that she wasn't backing down from what she said. Eventually Aria turned away slightly angry at Adagio and herself. "Right well let's get going girls" Adagio said as she began to walk, the others followed.

The Dazzlings entered the back bin area of the local Bowling alley, the area wasn't big nor was it crowded but at least it could hold the three of them and like Adagio said it had edible food scraps that the employees threw out. The area had two large bins resting by the wall of the building, a bunch of tyres some wooden planks and three flattened cardboard boxes that were used as beds. The entire area was surrounded by a wooden fence that was in disrepair, it wasn't much but what else could they do.
Adagio walked over to the bins and opened them, peering inside, she gave a sigh not long after and closed the bins "No scraps for us tonight I'm afraid" Adagio said sadly.
Sonata smiled "That's alright Adagio, I'm not really hungry" she replied.
"Yeah I'm good to" Aria said half assed as she went over and laid down on her 'bed'. She then turned over to face the wall and began to sleep, Sonata did the same shortly after. Adagio stood sighing heavily 'I just wish things would change around for us. I know we tried to make everyone our slaves and I feel we deserved this but...I want to change and I'm sure the others do too. Sonata is already on her way there and I'm not far behind I just wish we had some help now' Adagio thought over in her head as she gazed at the stars. Eventually she turned around and made her way to her supposed bed and fell asleep.

"Why don't we try here?" Sonata said pointing to the Mexican take out joint, Adagio looked over to the store and shrugged.
"You can try, since you enjoy Tacos so much" Adagio replied. Sonata smiled with her known glee and ran over inside to see if she could get a job there. Not 10 minutes later Sonata returned with none of her glee that she had before, Adagio gave her a look that said for Sonata to explain what happened.
"So what happened in there?" the curly haired girl asked.
"Apparently you can't get a job in taste testing their products" Sonata said glumly, Adagio could only face palm and Aria pretended like she didn't know the blue haired girl.
"Well that's another one down. What now?" Adagio thought.
"I keep saying we should go and be singing tutors, but you keep turning it down because we can't sing ourselves. So what if we can't any more" Aria spoke up still in a bad mood.
Adagio wondered constantly if they should go and be singing tutors, they had the voice for it...emphasis on 'had', but unfortunately the tutor needed to be able to sing as well regardless of how good they were at teaching it. Which Adagio also wondered how the three of them were able to understand how to sing but not teach themselves how to do it. It might of been something to do with their amulets, but Adagio didn't want to go back to that.
Adagio responded "Aria I said no, anyway even if we could get a job doing that, the pay isn't very good and we need enough money to get some more clothes a proper home and real food. Sonata's stomach growled. " Real food especially" she ended with, looking at the now blushing girl.
The three girls were now standing outside the bakery, the three of them were practically watering at the mouth at the sight of the baked goods resting on metal shelves in the display window. They turned to each other and pulled out their pockets, between them they had three 10 cent pieces one 20 cent piece and several balls of pocket lint...which was clearly Sonata's considering she only ever had lint in her pockets.
"Well that's just great, can we get anything for 50 cents?" Aria was giving an almost pleading look now, she may always look angry and be tough but she couldn't deny any longer that she was starving and that she lied last night when they went to bed.
"We could get half a choc chip cookie?" Sonata offered a hopefully helpful response. It wasn't helpful...at all.
"Sonata, just shut up" Aria said slumping to the ground her hands buried into her face, Sonata sighed as she began to pace (she tended to do that when she was frustrated), Adagio tried to think of something do but...she couldn't, she had run out of ideas and was about to give up hope... when suddenly a voice sounded out, drawing the attention of the three girls towards its source.
"Are you three okay?"
I have a feeling one of two things will happen:
Adagio jumps
Or
Adagio starts swinging

Anyway, like the story and concept.
7850855 Thanks, I had the idea, way back when I first watched rainbow rocks (my favourite one of the movies) and i really liked the Dazzlings, compared to other Villains they are more than just 'a bad guy that wants to take control' other villains we just see them plotting their plans, while the Dazzlings would be arguing like sisters or just a couple of friends and it was always hilarious seeing their reactions to Sonata's stupidity.
Oh yeah, Adagio is one of my favourite characters in the entire show and movies. That's why I have her as the focus in this story.

I can agree with that. I personally like all three. Adagio is confident, Sonata is always happy, and Aria can break an arm if she needs to. I fell like their story has a lot more potential. Right now it's up to us to make that story.
If you ever need an option, don't be afraid to ask.
7851062 Yeah i'm happy to hear some options. I'm already writing the second chapter now, but I'm happy to hear options for the next one and so forth
Aria has the right idea. this is All the rainbooms fault!
