They ran until they knew they were far enough from the place where they had been defeated.
"H-h-how? I planned everything! I-it should have worked!" Adagio stammered.
"It's done and over with, Dagi, we lost," replied Aria.
"But how?" Said Adagio as if someone would know the answer.
"It's my fault. When that bacon-haired girl started singing, I didn't put up a fight 'cause I thought we won!"
Sonata said. Adagio stared at her with piercing eyes. She stood up and walked towards Sonata and loomed over her. If there was one thing she hadn't lost, it was her intimidation. Sonata cowered under her. That was Adagio's breaking point. Her plan was perfect, and it was supposedly ruined by this little ally of hers.
"I'm sorry Adagio, I should have gave it my all I-." Adagio slapped Sonata out of pure anger. Aria was shocked. She had to stand between Adagio and Sonata to keep Adagio from hitting her again.
"Dagi! Are you out of your mind!? Sonata's brain is full of tacos, she doesn't know what she's saying!"
Adagio's expression softened as she heard Sonata crying a little bit on the cold pavement. Adagio turned and sat on a tree stump near her. She took shards of the broken pendants that had made them sing so well and were a part if them. What once had been her beautiful voice, had turned to a dull, off-key sound as she tried to hit a simple note. The red shards broken in her palms had looked about just as broken as they were.
*********************************
Aria helped Sonata up as she wiped her eyes and cheek from Adagio's rage. She didn't have to stay with them, there was no point it it now, Aria thought. But yet she stayed.
"I'm so sorry girls, I just want to go home!!"
Sonata burst into a fit of crying as Aria hugged her and shot angry looks at Adagio. Adagio scraped some of the food off of her outfit.
"I'm sorry Sonata, lets just go back to our place," Adagio said.
Over the decades that the three sirens had been banished, they had stayed in a nice building apartment. But by brainwashing the landlord into letting them stay free of charge, of course. Now since their pendants had been shattered, everyone who was under their spell would soon break free of it. They couldn't go back, so they had decided to spend the night in the storage room of the Cake's bakery which was a popular place for them to stir up negativity when they still had their powers.
"So we are sleeping here?" Aria scoffed when they entered the bakery's storage room.
"Do you have a better idea?"
Replied Adagio. Aria rolled her eyes but secretly knew Adagio was right. They stacked up bags of flour as makeshift beds. It was quite uncomfortable but they had nowhere else to go. Even so, Sonata had no problem as she flopped down on the flour bag bed and took off her stained shoes. 'Huh, there could be a crazy apocalypse going on and Sonata would still be talking about lunch,' thought Aria and secretly smiled to herself. At least one of them wasn't too upset.
"Goodnight Dagi! Goodnight Aria!" Sonata said.
"Goodnight, Sonata, goodnight Adagio." Aria said.
"Goodnight." Replied Adagio.
***************************
Rainbow dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer went out late to Donut Joe's donut shop to celebrate tonight's fiasco.
"We totally whooped their butt! Did you hear my sick shredding?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"We were all wearing the most fabulous outfits!" Exclaimed Rarity.
"Yup, all that matters was that we put them in their place! Now who's ready to celebrate ya'll?" Applejack said.
"WOOHOO! PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie screamed. They each got donuts and talked nonstop about their victory.
"I'm just so happy that we saved the school, it was a wonderful feeling to stop the sirens from hurting the students at Canterlot High," Fluttershy said as she brushed away one of her pink waves.
It was only Sunset Shimmer who seemed somewhat unhappy.
"What seems to be the problem darling?" Asked Rarity.
"Oh nothing! Everything's fine!" Sunset replied.
She nibbled on some of her pumpkin spice donut. Inside, she really felt bad for the dazzlings defeat. She had once wanted control over this dimension once too, she couldn't help but feel sympathy towards the three. A raging she-demon. Good thing her friends didn't think of her that way anymore.
"Uh, girls do you mind if I could be excused?" Asked Sunset.
"Go ahead, what's stopping 'ya? said Applejack.
Sunset Shimmer went outside and looked at the stars on the dark sky. One big one with 6 stars circling around it. She took out the magic book that she grabbed from her locker on the way to Donut Joe's and started writing a letter to Princess Twilight.
"Dear Twilight, I know this is soon but I have to write to you about something. While the other 5 are celebrating the sirens defeat, I just feel bad about it. I feel like I'm the only one who shows any kind of sympathy to the creatures. What do you think? Love, Sunset Shimmer.
"I hope she gets it," sighed Sunset Shimmer.
She closed the magic book, tucked it in her leather jacket, and went back inside to join her friends.
*********************
Dawn had just broken and the window in the bakery's storage room shone with warm light. Just the kind of day that you would not expect for the dazzlings to have after they had been defeated. The unwanted light shone onto Adagio's face until she could not ignore it any longer. She sat up and looked down at herself. She was still covered in the remnants of the booing people's snacks. Just another reminder of their defeat. The shards of the broken pendants still in a satchel in the corner of the room. Her friends still sleeping in the corner.
"Huh, friends. I haven't referred to those two as my friends for quite a while," Adagio exclaimed to herself.
They had to change. The only place that had their regular clothes was the locker back in Canterlot High.
"Wake up you two!" exclaimed Adagio.
"Ok, ok we're up!" said Aria.
"We have to go back to Canterlot High, girls," said Adagio.
"Celestia, the sun is so annoyi- WHAT!? screamed Aria.
"All of our clothes are back in our lockers there, we can just sneak in for a second," replied Adagio.
"Fine, but only because my outfit is the worst," said Aria.
"Mmmm, tacos tacos tacos," Sonata said in her sleep.
"Wake up Sonata!!!" yelled Adagio. Sonata yelped and jumped up to face Adagio.
Sonata and Adagio weren't very friendly with each other for the past few days.
"Come on, I'm not walking in this reminder anymore," Adagio said while she gritted her teeth. They gathered their things and set off towards the dreaded school.
