"Who would want to steal stuff from Adagio and then put it in your apartment?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"Somebody who wants people to think I'm still a bad guy." Sunset Shimmer answered.
"You and her are still on speaking terms. Right?"
"We still are. In fact, she and I are working on a plan to catch this thief."
Soon, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk came in to the coffee place and head to Sunset.
"You called, Sunset?" Aria asked.
"I did." Sunset replied. "The three of us are going to catch the thief who's been robbing from Adagio."
"In the middle of Taco day?" Sonata grumbled. "Oh well. What's your idea?"
Sunset relayed her plan to the other two Dazzlings. Later that night, Adagio stepped out of the shower, and went to her bedroom. She saw something was missing. She quickly grabbed her phone and made a call. "Sunset, that thief came and stole a giant stuffed penguin I won at a carnival. Get ready for anything."
Later, at Sunset's apartment, something came from the floor. It looked like a giant flower. Somebody stepped ftom the flower with the penguin on hand. Suddenly, the lights went on, and Sunset and the two Dazzlings popped up to confront the thief. It turned out to be a girl with blue hair and leaves in her eyes.
"Amanita Nightshade!" Sunset said angrily. "You're the one who's been setting me up."
"Hello to you too, Sunset." Amanita replied.
Aria was surprised to see this person. "Hey. Cleo DeNile told about this nasty weed."
"Oh yeah!" Sonata added. "This ghoul likes to borrow stuff and not give it back."
"Why steal from Adagio Dazzle and plant it in my apartment?" Sunset demanded.
Placing down the penguin, Amanita Nightshade gave an explanation. "I figured if people still think that you're still a monster, you'll probably run away and hide forever. And, who better to sucker first than Adagio Dazzle."
A pair of hands took away the penguin. Those hands belonged to Adagio.
"I think you better get lost, Amanita." Adagio warned. "Or, I'll call the cops on you."
Knowing she's outnumbered four to one, Amanita zipped back to her flower. "Oh well, the ghouls of Monster High are easier to poach from anyway. Especially Cleo. Bye, all."
The flower closed and sunk back into the ground. Sunset Shimmer and the Dazzlings are relieved that the girl of the Corpse Flower is gone.
"If that weed comes back," Sonata said, "we'll need a giant can of weed killer."
Everyone had a good laugh. Adagio included.
