There was a knock on the door. Eyes still closed, Adagio lifted her head off the couch and let out a low groan. Getting up after a long shift was just not a thing she wanted to do, and she hoped whoever it was would just go away.

But the knock came again, a bit more urgently this time, and so she slowly rolled off the couch and pushed herself up. Once she was standing, she stretched, twisted, then tucked her hair back from where it had fallen in front of her face. She adjusted her shirt, tugging it down a bit further and undoing the last button to expose more of her neck, and then opened the door.

Of all the people she was expecting there, Rainbow Dash wasn't one of them.

With no further introduction, Rainbow barged in, kicked the door shut behind her, and… effectively ran into Adagio hard enough to push them both over the armrest of the couch and onto the seat.

Rainbow hesitated briefly at this unexpected development, having intended to just push Adagio up against a wall, but this position seemed to work just as well. Now on top, she pushed with her arms to raise herself up so she could look Adagio in the eyes. She debated putting her hands on her shoulders to pin her down, but decided against it, so her hands remained where they were.

Adagio looked up, one eyebrow raised, moderately intrigued at this turn of events.

“You started it, and I'm coming back to finish it. You got me good. But now it's my turn to seduce you.”

There was a pause.

“Passable,” Adagio said thoughtfully, nodding. “Entry was good, I liked the physical aspect, pushing me down, forceful but not too rough; high marks there. Delivery was decent, I almost believed you were serious there for a second. But you do lose points for not pressing your chest against mine.” She tapped the undersides of her own breasts demonstratively. “Seriously, A-cups or no, you gotta use the girls to your advantage. Squish. And press down on my hips with your-”

In the movies, you could always count on a kiss to shut someone up. So Rainbow decided to try that. She leaned down and pressed her lips against Adagio’s, mid-sentence.

Apparently, this was truth in television; Adagio did indeed stop talking instantly, her mouth still half-open with words unspoken.

There was no spark, no rush of emotion. It felt warm, soft, and really nice, but that was about it. Maybe she was doing it wrong? Rainbow pulled back and grinned sheepishly. She wasn't terribly good at kissing. Once again, she was painfully reminded of just how inexperienced she was at any of this.

But it had conveyed the message. For the first time since the Battle of the Bands, Adagio Dazzle looked… shocked.

There was a lengthy pause. Aside from their breathing, neither girl made any motion to move.

“Oh,” Adagio finally said, her voice quiet. “You're… you're serious.”

“I am.”

“You really want to date me.”

“I do.”

“And the fact that I'm a siren from another dimension doesn't bother you?”

“Nope.”

“And the fact that I shot you down in public-”

“Everyone deserves something good,” Rainbow interrupted. “Even you.”

There was a pause, longer this time.

“And you're that something?” Adagio asked.

“If you'll be my something.” Rainbow winced. That was lame. It had sounded better in her head.

But it seemed to work. Adagio’s fingers trailed under her jacket, curled under the hem of Rainbow’s shirt and gently lifted, untucking her shirt from her skirt. “If that's so, Rainbow,” she whispered, “why are you still dressed?”







If someone had told Rainbow Dash that she would one day be trying to date the ringleader of a group of evil sirens, she would have laughed. Had she then been told that she would end up laying completely naked in the same bed with her, she probably would have wet herself laughing (before punching her informant in the face).

But now here she was, feeling a very different kind of moisture between her legs. Honestly, if she hadn't seen the gems shatter onstage, she would have thought Adagio was casting some kind of magic spell on her. Every kiss had been awesome, every touch had been pleasurable, every nibble bliss; and the less said about the lovebites her body now bore, the better. Everything had been new, and it had been a complete thrill like nothing she'd experienced. She had no idea tongues could even be used that way.

But like all good things, it had come to an end (though this end had involved a bit more screaming than most). Rainbow lay on her side, sweaty, panting, and slowly recovering, being the little spoon to Adagio Dazzle.

And it was totally because the other way around would have given her a face full of orange, bushy hair. It wasn't like she enjoyed being the little spoon. She was awesome enough to be the big spoon. She could be both spoons. At once. That's how awesome she was.

Ok, but the warmth of Adagio’s body felt nice. And the gentle touch of Adagio’s fingertips brushing against her stomach wasn't too bad. And the stroking on her thigh was pretty nice, too.

Argh it was all nice what was wrong with her

And then Adagio spoke, interrupting the moment. “Rainbow Dash, personal question: did I take your virginity?”

“Gave it to you,” Rainbow retorted, grumbling, knowing as she did that it had been one of the weakest rejoinders she had ever delivered.

Adagio chuckled. “I can appreciate that,” she said. She ran her hand down along Rainbow’s hips once more, pausing to press her fingertips in a bit deeper.

Rainbow shuddered. That did feel good.

“So why me?”

“Huh?”

“Why me? Out of all the girls you could choose from, you chose a siren from another dimension.”

“I could ask you the same question,” Rainbow said, spinning around so she could look at Adagio. “We broke your gems, beat you at your own music game. You live in a tiny apartment now. You work at a sandwich shop. You have to wear a dorky hat.”

“First off, I rock that hat.” Adagio paused and pursed her lips, considering her answer for the actual question. “I guess at first it was the challenge,” she admitted. “I couldn't beat you on stage, but I could beat you at another game. Find out how you ticked, seduce you, then kick you in the face when you were down and walk away with my victory. Because you literally took everything from me, and you deserved to feel some of that pain. I can't tell you how many things I tried, trying to get my magic back. Aria eventually gave up, walked out on me; but I couldn’t stop. Finally did give up when I ran out of money, finally accepted that I was as weak as the people I used to manipulate. I was so ready for revenge. I hated you so much.” Her voice grew quiet. “But it felt… wrong. It never felt wrong before. But I guess you… you're different. You're passionate, fiery. When you do something, you go hard, all the way. I… liked your spark.” She cracked a smile. “Heh. I mean,” she gestured at the bed, “that was obviously your first time-”

Rainbow’s ears tinged red. So she’d needed a little help, so what?

“-but you threw yourself into it. You were so eager. Such stamina. And… heh. You did good. You did really good.”

Rainbow grinned wryly. “Thanks.”

There was a pause.

“Guess Sunset was right,” Rainbow admitted. “We're a lot alike.”

“Except I have nicer hair,” Adagio interjected.

“You wish,” Rainbow said. She tossed her hair, doing her best to emulate Rarity. “You can at least do something with my hair. And it looks awesome. Your hair just kinda looks… poofy.” She glanced down under the covers and smirked. “Everywhere.”

Adagio grabbed her wrist and rolled over until she was on top, stomach to stomach with Rainbow. She leaned forward, putting her lips by Rainbow’s ear. “You like my natural look and you know it,” she murmured, her voice a sultry whisper. “And I bet you'd like to explore me some more, wouldn't you?”

Rainbow’s heart rate sped up again, and her hips rocked upward of their own accord. Curses! Betrayed by her own body!

“Here's another fun fact about sirens: when we find something we like, we don't… let… go-!”

Rainbow inhaled sharply through her teeth as Adagio gripped her right breast tightly. Her thumb traced over someplace very sensitive. Try as she might, Rainbow could not suppress the whimper that followed. Adagio was very, very good at this.

“And do you know what the best thing about another female lover is, Rainbow?”

“Wh-?” Rainbow gasped again as Adagio’s fingers jabbed her in another, even more sensitive location.

Adagio answered her own question. “You never have to wait long for the next round. You ready?”

Rainbow let out a high-pitched whimper. She winced. Embarrassing! Had that just come out of her mouth?

But Adagio just smiled. “I will take that as a yes.”
