Meh, not really thrilled about this this story. Its just our three lovely girls hanging out with the some of the girls from the Human Seven. I hope you enjoy this, thank you for the support!

This story is a sequel to Once Monsters

Gazing out across the ocean has a way of affecting a person. The vastness of the sea might bring peace to a troubled spirit. Its depths can open doors to soul-searching introspection. Its eternity, for some, may evoke the ache of longing for loved-ones lost—and for others, the memory of home.

But then... what is home? Perhaps there's more than just one simple answer.

If you haven't read any of the prior stories, you'll want to for the sake of some context for how these two got to where they are now. (An Open Door is the first.) And I'm opting for a slow release of the chapters this time around, unlike the daily cycle for Monsters. The full story is outlined, but the chapters will be prose'd-out and written one at a time.

When Sunset saw Sonata Dusk return to CHS and experience a very familiar treatment, she encouraged her friends to reach out to the Dazzlings just as they'd done with her after the Fall Formal.

Several months later, Aria and Sonata have come to discover some joy in their new life-after-magic. Adagio, however, has continued to refuse the offer—out of bitterness, spite and an unwillingness to give those 'rainbooms' the satisfaction of seeing her break.

What she has yet to realize is that clinging to this resentment is hurting no one but herself.

Thanks to Csquared08 for main editing, proofreading and bouncing ideas.
Thanks to Jondor for pre-reading, grammar/editing and offering advice on technique.

Sonata Dusk has finally acclimated to life after being freed from the Siren Pendant. It seems like she has everything: a nice group of friends, a steady job, a simpler wardrobe, and even gotten away from Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze. However, there's one thing that's still missing from her life – someone to call her own.
Little does she know how soon her wish will come true.

When you first met Fluttershy, you fell in love with her. Eventually, thanks in part to Sunset Shimmer, you and her shared a strong, romantic bond. However, tragedy strikes you and you ended up in a catatonic state where you could not care about anything. Though there is always support...

A sad, short story inspired by a comic by Lucy-tan, which also is where the cover image comes from. When I first read the comic, I was so devastated that I had to write up a story about it. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Update, November 20th, 2021: A Dramatic Reading is done by 15.ai, which you can listen to here.

Sunset Shimmer discovers Twilight's terrible secret.

When you try and use dark magic to take over Canterlot High, it never ends well.
The Dazzlings lost their powers and were thoroughly embarrassed by Sunset Shimmer, Princess Twilight, and company.

For Sonata, it didn't get much better. Fed up with her inherent ignorance, Adagio takes her frustrations out on Sonata, and kicks her out of the group. With nowhere to go, she winds up wandering the streets. Luckily for her, she wandered into the right place at the right time.

She'll be borrowing someone's kindness for a while.

Will Sonata be able to atone for her mistakes?
Will she be able to make friends?

Author's Note: Originally, I planned to entirely change this. But I realized this provides me with a beautiful opportunity. A chance to explore a world of what-ifs. Sonata being saved by Vinyl after the Battle of the Bands could change the entire timeline from here on out. Let's go.

Sonata Dusk has had enough. She joined the Dazzlings for power, and sought after the weak and lonely. But now it's her turn to be lonely and weak as she recalls scenes from her past she thought she forgot. But these thoughts were a part of her. But the best way to exert these feelings is with a poem. (This is unrelated to Pony Tatakai- Adagio Death.)

Marked Teen for scenes of gore and a word frequented by potty-mouths.

A new psychologist has arrived to Canterlot High. Doctor Eclipse seems like a normal man doing his job, but Sunset and Twilight soon discover that is an old sorcerer vanished from Equestria that wants revenge. They have to fight but their friends have been divided and now Sunset and Twilight have to look for a way to unite their friends again so they can stop Doctor Eclipse, or both their world and Equestria will be lost forever.

-Side note, in this FimFic Spike is NOT a dog but Twilight's Younger Brother.
