Adagio Dazzle, the leader of the sirens, was defeated at the end of Rainbow Rocks. Now, her life a year later is much harder than it's ever been. Working at a night club, she's lost her connections with the only family she used to have, Sonata and Aria, and she's trying to make it through the world on her own by regaining her lost power. That is until Sunset Shimmer gives her advice that spins her view on the world upside down. Adagio tries to help her neighborhood and others to finally find the secret to happiness, but she finds that she needs to forgive herself before she can ever be happy. After giving Sunset Shimmer a gift, her heart starts to race, making her wonder what she was feeling. Did she finally forgive herself or was this love? Will Adagio let go of her hate for the world or let it grow? Can something more spark inside a siren's heart?

It had been an accidental falling-in that had brought them together. Sort of together. Velvet's divorce, Sunset's break-up... it was an awkward thing to know that failure of a relationship had helped them bond. Remaining in the only city they'd ever been able to call home, perhaps it was inevitable that their sorrow should not be endured alone.

But now comes their first Christmas. And tonight's date night is more intimate than before. All it would take is a single moment for the sparks to truly fly.

Part Two of my 2023 Christmas Special. Enjoy!
