Against the Shadows

"What do you mean it isn't here?!" Summer asked the waitress from the restaurant they ate at the night before.

"I'm sorry but there was no diary in booth 10. If there was, the janitor would've found it last night when he was cleaning." She replied.

"My friend is pretty sure that she left it here." Allegro stated.

"Well, it isn't here. I'm sorry girls."

"It's okay, thank you mam." Allegro replied as she left with the others.

"This is bad! Someone took it! And now they know stuff that is going to happen!" Summer panicked.

"Calm down, Summer. The person who might've taken it, could have no connection to you whatsoever." Twyla stated.

"Hey, Summer! We found your diary!" Sunset yelled, while running toward them with Sci-Twi and Adagio.

"Forget what I said about you having no connection to the person who found your diary."

"Um, guys. I think we should run like now," Allegro interrupted as the four started to run away in the opposite direction.

"Come back, we just want to give you back your diary." Sunset said as she started to run after them. But it was too late, the girls were already gone by the time she reached the corner. "What, they were literally just here?!"

"They probably ran off in another direction. Like any scared kid would." Sci-Twi replied.

"We need to give them back the diary. Based off what Summer recently wrote, things aren't looking good for Allegro."

"What do you mean?" Adagio asked.

"I mean that Allegro is in danger of becoming the monster you once were. Ruby is after her."

Adagio's face quickly faded to a look of concern. "She actually is? No, Allegro can't end up that way. We can't let that happen."

"I can't believe we got away that fast." Summer stated.

"Yeah, especially because I'm awful at running." Twyla replied.

"I don't think you should celebrate too soon, guys." Allegro said.

"Why? What's wrong?" Summer replied.

"Look who's here." Allegro said pointing at Mezzo standing not far behind.

"Thank you, for leading me to Allegro. Unfortunately this won't end well for any of you." Mezzo stated.

"Oh, really? You think I'm gonna let you catch me that easily? In your dreams!" Allegro replied blasting Mezzo in the face with a beam of light from her wand. Her and her friends quickly ran away as Mezzo got back up from the blow to her head.

"Okay, remember what I said about 'not' worrying about them?" Summer asked.

"Yeah?" Allegro replied.

"Now you should start worrying."

"What do you think I've been doing for the last minute?"

"I don't get how Mezzo knew exactly knew where we were at the exact time." Twyla interrupted.

"That stupid excuse note! She must've broke into my house and saw the note!"

"Well, then why did you write that note when you knew that Mezzo could use it against you?"

"Give me a break! I was stressed out and wasn't thinking clearly when I was writing it! Please stop blaming this on me!" Allegro replied starting to burst into tears.

"OKAY! OKAY! I don't blame you for doing that, but what is the plan to keep Mezzo away from you?

"Are you just going to keep on running away until midnight tomorrow?" Periwinkle asked sarcastically.

"No, I have a better idea." Allegro replied as she gave a smirk and took out her wand.

"No! No! And no! Equestrian Magic is not the answer!" Summer interrupted.

"Come on! My mom said I can use it if I'm in danger, and I'm in danger."

"Yeah, but you can't solve everything with magic. Also can't your wand only shoot light beams?"

"No, guys there is more things I can do with this. I just need to focus." Allegro replied as she calmed herself and focused. Her wand started to light up, but the color was blue instead on pink. As she continued to focus Summer noticed that white flakes of snow fell from the already cloudy day. She pointed it out to Twyla and Periwinkle who were just as confused as her. The wind started to blow getting significantly colder as more snow fell.

"Allegro! You made it snow?!"

"Huh?" Allegro replied completely oblivious to what she just did.

"You caused it to snow in May!!!"

A little later Adagio, Sunset, and Sci-Twi are seen leaving the cafe, realizing that there is chill in the air and is also snowing.

"It's snowing in May?! That's nearly impossible. It hasn't snowed in May since 1988." Sci-Twi said starting to freak out.

Sunset picked up a handful of snow and started to look at it.

"Well it's one of the possible times, Twilight. But I don't get how it snowed this fast, especially because it was above freezing temperature. If anything there should be ice before it snows."

"There is ice, Sunset." Adagio replied as some car were getting into crashes on the black ice.

"Okay, Adagio please tell me that won't get too bad." Sci-Twi asked.

"Why should I know anything about cold weather?"

"You used to live in Crystal Empire and Sunset said it's cold in that area."

"Okay, first there is a magical barrier around it so it's always good temperature and also I haven't lived there since I was twelve."

"Oh. I should've known that."

"Yeah. I think the cold is getting to you."

Out of the corner of her eye Adagio saw her Dad's black suburban drive up to them. Her dad rolled down the window revealing a guy with indigo eyes, and similar hair and skin colors to Adagio.

"Adagio, what are doing wearing that in 30 degree weather?"

"It was 75 degrees when I left the house! So don't blame me! The snow came out of nowhere!"

"That's besides the point! I want you and your friends in the car now."

"No!"

"Adagio, you can't talk to me like that especially with what happened when you were younger."

"Can you stop obsessing over what happened to me when I was twelve?!"

"That happened in result of you not listening. I told you that it was dangerous today, that there is some sirens on the loose and that you need to stay home! But, did you listen to me, no! You just said, Dad, I'm twelve now. Nothing bad is going to happen to me."

"I don't think, I exactly said those words."

"Those were your exact words. And guess what happened that day, you went missing. Why did you go missing because the curiousity got the best of......"

"I GET THE IDEA!!!!"

"Then you should know that all of you need to go home now, so you don't get sick!"

"For your information we are young adults and we can easily take care of ourselves."

"Um, Dagi. I won't be eighteen until May 31st." Sunset whispered.

"Make that two of us are young adults."

"Well, you can use that excuse all you want when you're 21." He replied.

"I doubt that's going to work."

"What do you mean?"

"What I'm saying is you are way too attached to me and most likely that excuse isn't going to work."

"Well you can thank that incident for that. Now get in the car."

"Fine, whatever. Have it your way."
