//------------------------------// // Investigations // Story: Stuck in my own Sequel // by AntiBronyBenSwolo //------------------------------// All were rowdy at Canterlot High as students were scrambling to get ready for the Friendship Games. Students up out practicing for the Games, cheerleading for the games, band instruments, all that school jazz. Meanwhile, Sonata followed me around, while Adagio and Aria were overseeing everyone. Just to make sure everyone got along. Quite a boring plan, but I'll take what I can get. And what we need right now is a sort of base of operations while the games go on. "Excuse me, Principal Celestia?" I asked as she took jotted things down on a clipboard for the games. "What is it you need?" Celestia asked, barely paying attention. "We were wondering if you could give us an empty classroom to use so I could operate in peace." I explained, averting Principal Celestia's attention away. "You'd rather write in your little book than watch the games?" Celestia asked. "I'd rather write in my little book to watch the games. I don't have to be everywhere to narrate something," I said. Principal Celestia sighed. "Very well. You can use my office for the time being," Celestia responded. I saluted the Principal and headed there ASAP. "Hey, BenSwolo? Can I ask you a question?" Sonata asked as we entered Celestia's office. "I mean, you already did," I replied, jotting down my ideas in my notebook "I just wanted to ask, do you think you could give us more to do? We really haven't had anything to do since you set your sight on these games," Sonata said, quietly pouting. I reread the chapters and realized I really haven't given the Dazzlings any time in the spotlight. And they're supposed to be main characters of this story. I felt so bad as to not give my supposed love interests any time to shine. "Oh, I am so sorry about that. I completely forgot to give you any time to shine and--" I said, still rereading before Sonata lunged at me with a strong hug. "It's OK. As long as you can fix it. And I know you can," Sonata said, finally letting me go. Seriously, has she been working out? This hug was a lot stronger than the last one. "OK, I have a mission for you, as it were," I said, sitting down in the principal's chair. "Let's hear it then," Sonata said, as I jotted the transpiring events in my notebook. "I need you to go out and help welcome the Crystal Prep students, and help both teams befriend one another," I said. Sonata saluted in response as she headed out. "One more thing before you go," I said, as Sonata almost made her way out "Be careful. There are characters that shouldn't exist yet that are existing now. So keep your eyes out," I said. Sonata didn't know what I meant but watched out for anyone suspicious. As she headed out, Sonata met up with a handful of students waiting by the entrance of the school building, waiting to greet the Shadowbolts. And one of these students had her attention caught by Sonata. "Umm...excuse me?" the lone student asked, tapping Sonata on the shoulder and causing her to jump. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." Sonata explained. "It's OK. My name is Wallflower Blush by the way." The girl said, as she...well, blushed. "Oh, nice to meet you," Sonata said, paying no mind to Wallflower as she waited like a hunter looking for prey. "I've been thinking...and well, the whole school's been thinking, a lot about what your weird friend said. About us being too hard on you?" Wallflower said, diverting Sonata's attention. "What do you mean?" Sonata asked, confused. "Well, it's just that after what your friend said, we realized we were being way too hard on you back there, and I'd like to apologize to you and the Dazzlings on behalf of the school," Wallflower said as if getting a load off her chest. "I...I don't know what to say," Sonata said, almost tearing up. "Come with me. I have something I wanna show you, as sort of a token?" Wallflower said as Sonata hesitated. "I wish I could go, but I was told to stay here," Sonata said, sitting where she was. "Don't worry about us. We got it," One of the school students said, as Sonata followed Wallflower to the girl's bathroom. "OK, what is it you wanted to show me?" Sonata asked, excited for, frankly anything. "This!" Wallflower yelled as she shoved a white cloth in Sonata's face, rendering her unconscious. Once Sonata passed out, Wallflower threw the hankie away and washed her hands, dragging Sonata out of the bathroom, making sure no one was around. Well, except for... "Did you get her?" Flash Sentry asked, leaning up against a locker. "Got her right here," Wallflower said, carrying the unconscious siren. "Good. One down, two to go," Flash said, as the two miscreants hauled Sonata off to an unknown location. Meanwhile, Adagio and Aria made it to the Principal's office, where I continued writing. "Hey there BenSwolo? Anything good happened yet?" Adagio asked, jumping me a little. "No. Nothing good. Bad. Very bad." I muttered as I continued writing. "Bad? What kind of bad?" Aria asked as she remained slightly cautious. She was gonna have to be more cautious than before. "Flash Sentry just kidnapped Sonata," I said, causing Adagio and Aria to gasp in shock. Adagio even teared up a little. "I can't believe it," Adagio said, walking slowly away to cry to herself. "Well, can you find out where she is?" Aria asked, heart racing. "The last place she was at was the girl's bathroom," I explained, as Aria rushed out there to investigate the crime scene. I decided it would be best while I comforted Sonata. "Hey, you OK?" I asked, gently placing my hand on Adagio's back. "OK? How could I be OK? One of my bandmates...No...One of my closest friends just went missing, and we don't know where she went!" Adagio yelled, barely holding back tears. Once she stopped yelling, she continued crying while I comforted her silently. "We'll get her back. What makes you think we can't?" I asked quietly, as Adagio calmed down, wiping away her tears. "I'm just sorry I couldn't do anything to stop this," I said, still comforting Adagio.
