//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: Rock and heartache part 1 // Story: Fluttercord in Equestria Girls 3 // by vcjb242 //------------------------------// ************************************* Ever since Discord brought them together as a band the elements of Chaos couldn't be happier. They had gone on a couple of tours since they debuted but they still hadn't quite recorded any major albums yet. The only album they had out was a bootleg CD with songs that were recorded live from their last few concerts and it was a bit hard to hear the actual songs over all the cheering from their adoring fans. They were currently on their tour bus just talking as they drove to their next destination. Ever since becoming more famous they could afford to upgrade it. They now had air conditioning and bunk beds. It now was more like an RV. It even had a working bathroom! Everyone except for Sombra (it was his turn to drive)was gathered around the only table in the bus as they were each doing different things. "You guys, we need to record this album before Business man and his record label kick us out!" Said Chrysalis as she tried braiding her girlfriends hair after learning how to do it from Mane-iac while looking frustrated. Mane-iac was frustrated at the fact that she had explained to Chrysalis how to do it at least 5 times already. Aria chimed in. "But we can't record these songs without Discord. It's written here in the contract that we all need to be a part of this first album. It says so right here in the contract we signed." She said as she examined the only copy they had of the contract they had signed when they got their record deal. "D-discord?" Asked Sonata, looking sad as she remembered her lost love as she looked up from her phone. She had been lurking on Discords social media pages for the past few minutes. "Let me see that!" Exclaimed Adagio as she snatched the paper from her sisters hands, almost ripping it in the process. After skimming through the last few lines she realized that Aria was right. She groaned in frustration as she ran a hand down her face. It's not that she didn't want to record with Discord, it was the fact that she didn't want the man who broke her little sisters heart to come back into her life. "Calm down my dearest sister." Said Aria who side eyed Sonata, almost knowing exactly what her sister was thinking. "But we need to get in contact with him as soon as possible. Does anyone have his number?" She asked to the group. "I-I do." Said Sonata timidly. "What are you waiting for?! Call him!" Adagio noticed the nervous look on her sisters face and calmed down. "Please." She added in a calmer tone. Sonata went through her contacts and was about to press the call button next to Discords face but she stopped. "I'm sorry but I can't do it. I can't face him again." Sonata almost sobbed as tears ran down her face. "I'll do it." Said Mane-iac as she took the phone from Sonatas hands and jabbed the call button. She placed the phone on the table and put it on speaker as they waited for him to pick up. After a few rings it only went to voicemail. "Hi it's Discord." The voicemail began. "If I haven't answered your call it's because I either don't want to talk to you or because I'm working to care for my wife and child. Please leave a message after the beep and I will get back to you as soon as possible." "Discord, it's the elements of Chaos we need to talk to you regarding the contract we signed a few months back. It's really important." Said Ahuizotl before anyone else could speak. He hung up the phone and handed it back to Sonata who only stared at the floor and muttered something. "In all his recent posts he never mentioned having gotten married or having a child. I wonder if it was with Fluttershy." Said Sonata in what she thought was a quiet tone but everyone heard her loud and clear. Everyone else first looked at each other in shock and then to her with concern. "Excuse me." Said Sonata as she picked up her phone and ran to the bathroom so her sisters and band mates wouldn't see her crying. "This is worse than I thought." Said Adagio as she rubbed her arms. "She's hung up on a boy that will never love her back because he chose to marry someone else." Said Chrysalis as she hugged her girlfriend from behind. She knew what that kind of rejection felt like. "She's not over someone who will never be hers because he chose the other side." Said Ahuizotl as he held Arias hand in his and gave it a squeeze. Aria stood up from the table but fell back down again when the bus went over a few pot holes. Ahuizotl caught her before she fell to the ground. "I hate seeing my little sister like this." Said Aria. "We need to help her but I don't know how." "Hmmmm." Said everyone else in unison. Everyone in their group had been rejected one way or another but the way that they had dealt with this wasn't exactly healthy to them or to the people who rejected them in the first place. Aria decided to search the internet for an answer on how to get over someone you never really dated. After reading several articles about how to handle the subject Aria came to a decision. "We need to get Sonata in the room. Guys, we need to help her get over him and move on. All of this sulking isn't exactly healthy for her. I just want to fix her and help her feel ok again." She said while looking sad as she thought of her little sister. "How do you plan on doing that?" Asked Chrysalis as she raised an eyebrow at Aria. "After purging her phone we need to have a girls night." Said Aria as she held Ahuizotl. To be continued...
