After the Fall Formal Incident...
At a diner, people started arguing. Save for three girls who were singing. As they sang, a green mist seemed to be sucked into the necklaces the girls were wearing around their necks. The three then noticed the rainbow of light outside, and went to check it out. "Magic. Equestrian magic.", Adagio said with a wicked smile. 'This could be just what we need...'
The next week...
Sunset had a small smile on her face. It was a start, but people had stopped staring at her like she was a monster. But most important of all, she had made real friends with Burst and the others. Soon she was told to greet a group of new students. "Hi there!", Sunset greeted the group of three girls. "You three the new students?"
"Yes. We just came in from...out of town.", Adagio answered. "My sisters and I just know there's something special about this place."
"Okay. Nice necklaces by the way.", Sunset said as she tried to reach out for Adagio's necklace, but she covered it instantly!
"Sorry. They're a family heirloom."
"Oh. Okay. Well, let me know if you need any help." As soon as Sunset left, Adagio turned to Aria and Sonata.
"Okay you two. Let's split up and scope up this place.", she commanded.
"Okay! Why?", Sonata asked. Aria and Adagio face-palmed.
"BECAUSE we don't want to arouse suspicion.", Adagio said flatly. "Now go!" Aria and Sonata went their separate ways.
Ace was moping as he walked the hallways of CHS. The thought that was plaguing him at the moment was his brothers. Dark Ice and Shadow Thunder. It had been years since he last saw Ice. When Ice was possessed by Number 96: Dark Mist, Ace had defeated him. But Ice stole the Eye of Timaeus and faded away into the shadows. As for Shadow, he was taken away to keep him safe from Dark Ice. From what his parents told him, Shadow was sent to live with their grandparents and he was given a monster partner. Number 46: Dragluon. Ace knew both of them were still alive, but he wondered when he would ever see them again. Ace sighed. DMG's spirit then materialized.
"Cheer up Ace!", she said. "You know your brothers are still alive, and they're out there! That's good."
"Thanks DMG. But I don't know where they are. Further more, I don't even know if I'll actually be able to save Ice from Dark Mist." Ace returned his attention to the floor, but to his error he hit someone! "Whoa! Sorry!", Ace said as he caught Sonata. "You okay?" Sonata blinked before she answered.
"I'm okay!", she said with a smile. "Nice to meet you!" Ace smiled. He'd literally bumped into this girl, and yet she smiled despite it. She always seemed to be in a good mood.
"Glad you're alright. I'm Arctic Ace. But call me Ace please.", he said. "Nice to meet you too."
"I'm Sonata! Sonata Dusk!", Sonata beamed.
"So are you new here? I've never seen a girl like you before.", Ace said.
"Yup! Me and my sisters just enrolled! Although...Aria's got a short fuse. Also Adagio can get pretty easily frustrated.", Sonata said with a frown. "Pretty much the only time I see them happy is when we're performing."
"Boy do I know a thing or two about siblings...", Ace said as his mind drifted to his brothers. "I've got two monsters. Right now one of them....well let's just say we're going through a bit of a falling out." Sonata then hugged Ace super tight!
"Aww! Things'll get better!", she said. Ace smiled.
"Sonata. This is nice. But my vision's going dark....!", Ace wheezed.
"Sorry!", Sonata said with a light blush. Ace chuckled as he regained breathing capacity.
"It's fine. Lunch'll be coming up soon. Wanna grab something to eat?", Ace asked. Sonata nodded.
"Hope they got tacos!", she chirped. Ace and Sonata made their way to the cafeteria. Meanwhile, Adagio was out scouting the school. Then she saw a student tending to a plant in his locker.
'Hope he's not planning on keeping it there.', Adagio thought with a smirk. Her eyes then widened when a green glow came from the student's hand! Soon, the plant looked even more healthy than it had! 'I guess there's more than one kind of magic here. Though this isn't the type I'm interested in. As for the user, he's kinda cute.' Veenus Bloomer was about to leave when he caught sight of Adagio and he decided to walk over to her. Adagio noticed and put on a flirty smile. "See something you like?"
"I do. But you're missing something.", Veenus said. Adagio giggled.
"And what would that be?", she asked. Veenus reached into his pocket and stuck a flower in her hair.
"Something to compare your beauty to.", Veenus said with a smile. Adagio smiled in return.
"How sweet of you. I'm Adagio by the way."
"Veenus Bloomer. It was a pleasure seeing you too.", Veenus said as he kissed her hand. Adagio lightly blushed.
"Well, I'd best be off. My sisters are going here with me, so I'd better gather them." And with that, Adagio walked off. She found Aria no problem, but was having difficulty tracking down Sonata. "Ugh! Where could she be?"
"Did you try the cafeteria?", Aria asked. "She does think with her stomach a lot." The two of them went to the cafeteria and found Sonata sitting with Ace. "Looks like she got herself a boyfriend." Adagio went over to Sonata and Ace.
"Well, well. Looks like our little Sonata has a number one fan.", Adagio said with a smile.
"Hi Dagi!", Sonata beamed. "This is Ace! I bumped into him earlier."
"Quite literally I might add.", Ace said with a small smile. "You must be one of her sisters."
"Indeed I am. Come on, Sonata. We've got a show to put on." Adagio led Aria and Sonata, and they began to sing. Unknown to Ace, their singing was starting to make some of the other students go crazy over them! However, Ace wasn't affected. He heard their singing no problem. It was Sonata that captivated him.
'That smile, her upbeat attitude. She's also pretty sweet too.', Ace thought with a smile. 'She's also pretty cute too...'
'Sounds like you're under her spell', DMG replied with a smile. Ace blushed!
'C-come on! It's not like I wanna date her!...yet.', Ace mentally replied.
'Well you'll never know if you don't try asking her!', DMG said as she left Ace's mind. After the Dazzlings were done performing, Sonata went over to Ace. Adagio and Aria noticed that Ace had been the only one not going crazy.
"Uhh, Ace? What did you think of our singing?", Sonata asked nervously.
"You sounded beautiful.", Ace said with a smile. "But to be honest, I was looking at you at the same time."
"Oh, thanks!", Sonata beamed.
"Soooo, are you doing anything later?", Ace asked. "I'm free after school." Sonata rushed to her sisters, and then ran back to Ace.
"I'm free too! It's a date!" Ace smiled.
"Sweet. Can't wait." 'Some time with her could be just what I need to get my mind off of Ice.' Meanwhile, Adagio and Aria were walking off when Adagio bumped into Veenus again.
"Oh. Hello again.", Adagio said.
"You put on quite the show back there.", Veenus said with a smile.
"I didn't know you were watching."
"I have a tendency to look at pretty things. And might I say, you and your family sang beautifully."
"Glad to know we have a number one fan.", Adagio said with a smile. "And quite a handsome on too."
"Now who's being the flirt?", Veenus said with a smile.
"Ugh. You're the worst Adagio. Can't we get moving?", Aria grumbled. Adagio pouted.
"See you later Veenus!", she said with a flirty smile. The school day soon let out and Ace met with Sonata. The two of them headed off for Sugar Cube Corner and shared a soda there.
"This is SOOOOOO good!", Sonata beamed as she enjoyed the soda. Ace let out a small laugh.
"Yeah. This place makes the best sweets in Canterlot. You seem different from your sisters. From what I can tell Aria's a grouch while Adagio's a control freak. I could tell by the way she tried to get all the attention when you three sang." Sonata sighed.
"Yeah. Aria's always in a bad mood. She hates almost EVERYTHING! And Dagi can be a bit mean to me. I'm not the brightest of my sisters, and they usually find my attitude annoying." Sonata frowned slightly. Ace put a hand on her shoulder.
"I don't know about your sisters, but I think your attitude is nice. You're always so upbeat, and...well..."
"Yeah?"
"You've got a really cute smile. To tell the truth Sonata, I like almost everything about you. And I was wondering...would you go out with me?" Sonata's mouth fell open before she wrapped her arms around Ace.
"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said.", Sonata said quietly. "You know Ace, this place feels a bit better with you. So far, its just been me and my family. Now I've got someone new to hangout with!" Ace smiled as he wrapped his arms around Sonata.
"I'm just glad I can make you happy."
