After the previous altercation, you feel like relaxing a little. The girls may be out trying to help you, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself a little. You scan the room to see if you can spot anyone you recognize, but between the pulsing lights, it's hard to make out any features. Not that you have too many other friends to speak of at Canterlot High. You're not a loner by any means, just most people there are a bit...off. Like they're stereotypical characters just made to fill roles. The jocks are sports-loving meatheads, the nerds are weedy know-it-all's and everyone else kind of falls into the background. The girls are the only people who seem to actually, well, be people.
Speaking of the girls, Rarity emerges from a crowd of people, then immediately turns your way as she spots you.
"Hello, Anon! How's it going so far?" she quizzes, the lights revealing the polite smile she wears so well. You cringe a little in response.
"Well, Pinkie's choice of girl for me was a bit of a bust. She tried setting me up with Trixie, and she's already got a boyfriend." you reply, as Rarity rolls her eyes.
"That's Pinkie Pie for you. I swear that girl doesn't think before she does anything!" Rarity laughs, before focusing her attention on you, her eyes almost shining. "But I've found a girl worthy of your time." She grabs you by the arm and beckons you towards the bar, but you resist.
"C'mon, Rarity. I've just been speaking with Pinkie, can I not have a break first?" you complain, as Rarity huffs.
"Girls don't like to be kept waiting, Anonymous," Rarity scolds. "Besides, you'll have plenty of time to relax once I've gotten you acquainted. So are you in?" Rarity looks at you, expectantly. You can tell she's not going to let this go. You sigh in defeat.
"Do I even have a choice? C'mon, take me to her." you reply flatly, as Rarity takes your arm and leads you through a crowd, towards the bar.
Rarity pushes through the crowd, until the two of you reach the bar, stopping right in front of of a yellow-skinned girl with large, puffy hair. You'd recognize her anywhere, that's-
"Anon, this is Adagio." Rarity smiles, as Adagio looks up from her drink and stares at you, deep into your eyes. You feel the room around you swirl and spin, as you hear a faint but beautiful singing ring around you. Adagio remains the only thing in focus, allowing you to appreciate her beauty. Her skin almost begins to glow, as you continue to gaze at her. With each second, you notice more about her. Her immaculate beauty, her perfect form. This girl is without doubt the most beautiful you've seen in your life. You simply can't take your eyes off her.
"Adagio, stop that!" You faintly hear Rarity's voice as the world slowly starts to return to normal around you. "If I tell Twilight you're abusing your magic again, she'll take it back for good!" Your thoughts become your own once again as things start taking focus. You pant heavily, staring wide-eyed at Adagio, who simply giggles.
"I was just saying hello," she says, looking you up and down, examining you. "Anonymous, right?" You snap your attention back to the room, not to get caught up into her tricks again. And you thought Trixie was intense...
"Uh, yeah." you utter, still grasping what on earth just happened to you. Rarity notices your issue, and steps in for you.
"Me and the girls are helping Anon here socialize, and I thought you might like to get to know him." Rarity intervenes, cautiously glancing over to you to make sure you're okay. Adagio ponders Rarity's proposal for a second.
"Hm, I don't know. It depends if Anon has what it takes to hang with someone like me." Adagio confidently responds, turning to you, awaiting a response. All eyes are on you, as you form a reply. Adagio is an intense and confident girl, so she'd want someone who's confident in return. That's all you have to do, be confident.
"Of course I have what it takes," you reply, flashing Adagio a cool look. "If you've got what it takes to hang with me." Adagio gives a cocky smile, as you notice Rarity look away from you both, her face twisted a little. You didn't sound that bad, right? Suddenly, two girls emerge from out of nowhere, flanking Adagio. The two of them appearing catches you off guard, and causes you to flinch a little. You recognize the two as Adagio's friends, Aria and Sonata. The three girls giggle in unison, as the two new girls respond.
"But do you think you can hang with us?" Their voice sends a chill down your spine. Something about the three girls together puts you on edge. You try to find a reply, but your voice catches itself in your throat. After a few moments, Adagio interjects.
"I thought not. Good try, though." she says, as the girls walk past you and Rarity and disappear somewhere else in the club. You and Rarity take a moment to let the events sink in, before you turn to her, a your voice a tone of disbelief tinged with anger.
"Adagio Dazzle? The Dazzlings? That was your idea of a 'perfect girl' for me?" you ask, your eyes still wide in shock. Rarity fumbles around her words for a second before responding.
"I-I...I thought you'd want something a bit different, you can't blame me for trying." Rarity defends herself before adopting a more snooty look. "Although, I thought you could have handled the situation a little better, personally." Rarity quips, is if condescendingly so.
'Could have handled the situation better!?' What did she expect dropping you in front of a girl with pseudo mind-controlling powers!?
"I don't think I was ready for something like that," you admit, your expression and mannerisms calming. "I think I'd like some time to relax now, please." Rarity opens her mouth to interject, but thinks better of it. She simply gives you a short hug before departing off into the club. Maybe now you can have some time to yourself and enjoy a drink. You turn towards the bar and attempt to flag down a member of staff. However, you feel a soft tapping on your shoulder. This just won't end, will it?
