//------------------------------// // School decision // Story: The Dazzlings and the Human // by evanim26 //------------------------------// The next day was just average with the occasional yelling from the girls room to which I had to go in and deal with before things got violent, once that was settled I went to the living room to enjoy my chips I had in my cabinet. As I sat there eating my chips and watching my shows I had a strange thought come to my head which prompted me to get up and go to the girls room where they were either on their phones or reading a magazine. “Hey girls can I have your attention?” I said as they all put their phones and magazine down and I cleared my throat “I have an idea that I think you’re gonna like.” I said “What is it Eric?” Sonata asked as cleared my throat again. “Well how about instead of just laying around here, I get you three into school?” I said in my best happy tone but the looks on their faces told me they weren’t. “Eric we can’t just go back to school not after what we did.” Adagio said and I just walked over and sat on her bed. “Right your story about how you tried to take over the school with the power of music.” I said and she just nodded but I shook my head “listen I may not know how bad it was when you three did do that but I think you should just forget about that, I mean come on it’s been a few months since you guys were kicked out I’m sure everyone has calmed down by now.” I said but they still weren’t sure about it. “Listen I’ll give you three some time to think about it and when you made your decision tell me but please don’t take too long.” I said and with that I got up and left as I went back to the living room and continued my show. A few hours later all three of them came to the living room nervous “so have you made your decision?” I asked as they nodded. “Yes we have decided to give it a try but if it doesn’t go well then you have to promise us that you’ll take us out of the school as fast as you can, deal?” Adagio said then I got up and shook her hand. “Deal.” I said as we all nodded then the girls went back into their room and I sat back down on the couch. ____________________________________________________ “Adagio, sonata, aria come on you don’t want to be late for your first day!” I shouted as I waited next to the door with my keys in hand. “It won’t be our first day we’ve been there before you know.” Aria said as she walked to the door. “Well it will be your first real school day.” I said and aria just shook her head then the two other girls came over and we were out. Once we got to the school I dropped off all three of them but adagio turned back around and put her head through the rolled down window “Remember our deal, if anything happens you pull us out, alright?” She said and I gave the okay signal as she nodded then walked away but before I drove off as well I couldn’t help but notice the glares they were getting from the other students. Once I was back home I decided to clean up a bit before going to sleep for the day but while I was cleaning the phone began to ring and I went over to pick it up. “Hello?” I asked “Yes is this Eric?” The other voice asked but I could tell from her voice that it was a woman. “Yes I am Eric, may I ask who this is?” “Yes I am principle celestia and I have called regarding a problem with your three girls.” She said and I instantly knew this wouldn’t be good. “What happened?” I asked but she just sighed. “I think it would be better to discuss this in person, how soon can you get here?” She asked “Give me a few minutes I’ll be there soon.” I said as I hung up and went to put my clothes on then I grabbed my keys and was out the door. After the drive I parked in the school parking lot then went to the schools principal office where I found all three of them but they had a few bruises and scratches on them and sonata appeared to be crying. “Glad you could make it Eric please sit down.” Celestia said and I did just that while also glancing over at the girls “What happened?” I asked and celestia cleared her throat. “These three were caught in a fight against some students and the students tell us that they were the ones who started it.” She said and I looked over at them. “Is this true?” I asked but they were silent until aria spoke up first. “Well the fight is true but we weren’t the ones who started it they were the ones who started bullying sonata so we decided to protect her but they were the ones who struck first.” Aira said then I turned back to celestia. “Did you know about the bullying?” I asked her but she shook her head. “No by the time we got there the fight was over and the students were all hurt.” She said then I pinched the bridge of my nose. “So did you even try to ask them their side of the story?” I asked more than a little crossed but celesta didn’t answer. “We are here to discuss the girls behavior.” She said but I shook my head. “No now we are discussing you not getting both sides of the story, why didn’t you ask them what happened?” I asked them she sighed “Because I assumed they were the ones who started it considering their history.” She said then I got up and put my hands on her desk. “You just assumed they were guilty all because of what happened in the past?” I asked but she didn’t answer so I got closer “listen forget about the past they are changed now and don’t even want to do that again so get over it and next time don’t assume something because of it.” I said very angry as she just nodded then stood up and walked over to the girls. “I’m sorry I let the past cloud my my judgment you three are free to go and don’t worry I will talk to the students who started the fight, please go back to class.” Celestia said then the girls got up and left “as for you, if you ever speak to me in that tone again I will expel your girls without hesitation, understood?” She said and I just nodded then left. After I left I saw the girls stand in front of the door looking at me “what is it?” I asked then adagio stepped forward. “Have you forgotten our deal already?” She asked then I just sighed and put my hand on her shoulder. “Listen I’m sure it was just a simple misunderstanding-.” “Misunderstanding?! Those guys went out of there to bully sonata when she was alone trust me there is no misunderstanding.” Aria said and I was surprised that she was willing to defend sonata like that. “Listen how about we wait till the end of the day to discuss this, we can’t exactly do it here.” I said and they just nodded then walked off as I went back to my car and went home. After a few more minutes of cleaning i looked at the time and realized it was time to pick up the girls so I got dressed and drove to the school where I saw the girls talk to the group from the other day so I got out and went over worried something is wrong. “Hey is something wrong here?” I asked as they all turned to me then I looked over and saw the girls with little smiles on their faces then I scratched my head in confusion “did something happen?” “Don’t worry about it Eric these guys were just helping us out in a tough spot.” Adagio said as she still had a smile on her face “What kind of tough spot?” I asked then sunset shimmer walked a bit closer. “We were going to our cars when we saw a group of students pushing them around so we decided to go over and help.” She said then rainbow came over. “We beat their butts so bad we sent them crying to their mama!” She said enthusiastically as I looked back over at the girls and then just nodded telling me that it was true. “Well alright then since all seems fine here now I guess we should leave.” I said ushering the girls to the car but before we left sonata hugged pinkie pie “By see you guys tomorrow!” She shouted as she ran to the car and I noticed how she said tomorrow and smiled then we drove off. While we were driving I decided to ask them a question “so are you girls going to stay?” I asked but adagio and aria squirmed in their seat and sonata was the one to speak up. “I want to stay.” She said as the other looked at her shocked. “But sonata what about those other students who hurt you?” Adagio said and sonata just looked away. “I just thought it would be nice to see our friends again since they helped us with those bullies and all.” She said and I nodded the looked at the other two in the mirror. “What about you two?” I asked and they just looked around before answering. “Well since sonata is not the smartest with this kind of stuff I guess I might as well go to help her.” Aria said and sonata seemed to get a bit angry from that but adagio put a hand on both of her sisters shoulders. “And I might as well go to keep these two out of trouble cause you never know.” Adagio said and I smiled at all three of them. “Well then it’s decided you three shall stay in school and stay out of trouble.” I said “No promises.” Aria said and I shook my head Once we got back home I made them dinner and once we were done eating we all went to bed.
