//------------------------------// // Genesis // Story: Siren's of the Night III // by The Crazed Werewolf //------------------------------// Adagio set her keys down on the kitchen counter. Surprisingly, she had made it home from school before her sisters. That rarely happened, since Crystal Prep was on the other side of Canterlot. Taking a moment to enjoy how quiet the house was, Adagio reflected on the plan that she and her sisters had concocted. If mom or Sunset find out about this, then we are toast. Adagio had had enough time to brew a pot of coffee when she heard the voices of three girls outside. She looked up in time to see both of her sisters, Aria and Sonata enter the house along with one of their cousins. She had been expecting a fourth girl to be with them. "I thought that Rarity was coming with you," Adagio stated. "She had to walk her sister home," Scootaloo answered, "but she said that she would head over after that." Adagio was about to respond, when there was a polite, yet firm, knock on the door. Sonata opened the door and let Rarity in, then she glanced around making sure that Rarity hadn't been followed. "What's all this secrecy about," Rarity asked as Adagio poured her a cup of coffee, "you four are up to something." The four other girls looked at each other, it was as if there was a silent conversation going on between them that Rarity wasn't privy too. After a few silent minutes, they turned to look at Rarity. "We need outfits," Aria said, "and we have some special requirements for them." "You're the only person we can trust with this," Sonata added. Rarity reached into her purse and pulled out a Tailor's tape measure along with a small notebook and a pencil. "I trust that these aren't prom dresses," Rarity asked. The four girls shook their heads. ***** Sunset found herself home alone. Her younger sister and their cousins had been acting strangely for most of the day at school. She was pretty sure that they weren't planning a surprise party for her, her birthday was still several months away. They're up to something, Sunset thought to herself as she rubbed a bruise on the back of her leg. Scootaloo had been a little overzealous when she had taught Sunset how to ride a bike. They probably don't trust you, a voice said, you did unleash a demon into the world. Sunset recognized the voice, and noted that it sounded as if it was coming from a great distance. "We beat you before," Sunset said "we can do it again." That's one thing that I always did like about you, Incognito said, your confidence has always been one of your strengths. "So you're complimenting me now," Sunset retorted, "I didn't know you cared." Make no mistake, the demon replied, I will destroy your family and your friends, and in the end you will be mine. "You can try," Sunset fumed, "but we are going to stop you!" There was no response, and Sunset no longer felt the demon's presence. If I never hear from Incognito again it will be too soon. ***** It was late by the time Rarity made it back home. While she was certain that she could fill three of the requests that the Dazzlings and Scootaloo had made, she new that the outfit that she need to make for Aria would be the most difficult, Rarity had never used fire retardant material before. She had already come up with several designs. She had decided to make sure that each outfit would allow the person wearing it to still be able to move. This was of particular importance to Scootaloo since she had insisted on wearing roller-blades. Thy outfits for both Adagio and Sonata were by far the least complex, and Rarity realized that she could likely get everything she needed for them off the shelf at the local Army surplus store, though that wasn't the kind of boutique she would normally shop at. Rarity would never admit it, but she felt a thrill with these new designs. ***** She would have her revenge. She had been humiliated by Sunset Shimmer and the Dazzlings. They may have had the upper hand, but she would find their weaknesses, and once she did, she would exploit them for all they were worth. Sunset Shimmer had ruled Canterlot High School with an iron fist. Then, suddenly, she had allowed it to slip from her grasp. She had had every opportunity to reclaim what had once been her empire, but instead she had walked away. Away from the person that she had been, the person whom everyone feared. They hadn't forgotten what Sunset had done, and they didn't forgive her, at least not right away. No it had taken three girls that had turned the school against one another, and Sunset had played a part in their downfall. Now those three girls were close to Sunset. And they had all humiliated her. She looked at the scars on her hand. A lasting reminder to tread carefully around those girls. It was a lesson that she had learned well. Now when she took them down she knew what she would be facing. "Wait until they get a load of me." She said in the darkness.
