It was a brand new day as the three Siren girls were fast asleep in their new beds. After their defeat in Battle of the Bands last week, Sonata went back to school where she had become friends with her former enemies the Rainbooms. Adagio and Aria stayed home where Adagio tried to figure out what to do in order to survive. However things seemed grim until Sonata found help from one of her friends. She got them to live in Alternative Housing where they can be fed and prevented from being homeless. Also Sonata’s personal favorite was going to school with her best friends. Yesterday they left everything they had but their clothes to start a new life in the Alternative house. They had to share a room with some annoying ginger kid with an obnoxious voice. Regardless they made the best of their situation. Even though Adagio wouldn’t admit it she was very proud of Sonata for what she had done.
Ms. Harshwinny was walking door to door to make sure the students were up and ready for school. As she opened their room she saw the new girls still asleep in their bunk beds. As she looked around she saw Twist on the top bunk with her pillow wrapped around her ears. She was confused until she heard Adagio snoring like a Viking from below her. She was amazed the other two girls were able to stay asleep. She then began to ring her bell to get them up. As if on cue Sonata sprang from her top bunk with a smile on her face. She jumped down from her bunk and landed in front of Aria who was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. As Aria began to open her eyes she saw Sonata’s butt in her face.
“Sonata get your lame butt out of my face.” Aria said looking away.
‘’Hey my Butt isn’t lame. Your butt is lame.” Sonata said turning to Aria.
The two girls began to argue over whose butt was better. Ms. Harshwinny couldn’t help but rub her temples as they bickered back and forth over something so stupid.
“Can you two shut up!? Gaah I was in the middle of a wonderful dream.. Then you two idiots woke me up with your stupid butt talk.” Adagio said waking up grumpy.
“Sorry girls it’s time for you to wake up and get ready for school.” Ms. Harshwinny said clearing her throat to get their attention.
Sonata gleed as she and her two friends got ready for school. Granted the other two weren’t as excited about it due to being just human was lame and they really didn’t like anybody. They only went because it meant so much to Sonata. Also they had nothing better to do all day and Ms. Harshwinny said they had to. They walked onto the bus as Sonata smiled and waved at their bus driver. He wore a brown buttoned shirt and was always cranky. Sonata liked him because his hair looked like Johnny Bravo from when cartoons were cool and not crap. As the girls sat in the back of the bus, Sonata asked them if they were super excited about going to school as much as she was. They both rolled their eyes at her as Aria made a comment about her being the worst. Sonata then shook her head and told her that she was. As they began to argue Adagio told them both to shut up as she got out a book from her book bag that she had been reading.
She had this book for a very long time. She would often read this book when ever she was feeling overwhelmed. Even though she was a leader she had her flaws. Sometimes having to be the one to think of everything takes its toll on a great mind. She also read it whenever she would feel alone at night. She was a very deep person but never showed it to Sonata and especially not to Aria. She was to be strong in front of them regardless of how she felt deep down.
Aria was looking out the window watching everything run by. She had her ear buds in listening to screamo. She didn’t care about anything at all. The world could burn to ashes and she wouldn’t even shed a tear. However the only reason she went was to make Sonata happy. Granted she would never say it out loud to her or Adagio. But she showed that she loved them in her own way by throwing insults at them. Sonata just stared out in the aisle looking out for the school. She was happy that they would stick together forever. Even though she was seen as the clueless ditz she was smarter than that. She knew deep down that both Adagio and Aria cared deeply for her without them saying anything. However she would never point it out because they would deny it like the Santa present thing.
They finally got to the school where Sonata saw Sunset standing on the steps waiting for them. She smiled and waved while running over there to greet her friend. Sonata ran up the steps and gave Sunset a hug. She stated how super happy she was to have all her friends coming to school today. As if on cue Adagio and Aria walked up the steps looking at Sunset. Sunset smiled at the two girls and welcomed them back. She then handed them their class schedules.
‘’Thanks bacon head. I can’t wait to learn.” Aria said sarcastically.
‘’It’s Sunset Shimmer not Bacon Head. And well I hope you girls will be on your best behavior.” Sunset said being a bit annoyed with the remark.
“Aria be nice to the former villain.” Adagio said with a smirk on her own face.
Sunset was getting annoyed with the petty insults. Right when she was about to say something the bell rang for class. Sunset told them they should go to class and that being late would not be good since it’s their first day of school. Adagio and Aria rolled their eyes as they went off. Sonata waved bye to them as she and Sunset went to math class. As Sunset sat down she got her number two pencil out ready for the math test. She turned to Sonata and told her good luck as she turned back to her test. As she started answering the questions she couldn’t help but wonder how will the other two be in school.
First period
Adagio and Aria entered their first class. It was science with Mr. Dark Matter. The teacher introduced them to the class and told them to take their seats. Aria sat next to Vinyl Scratch who was listening to music on her head phones. Adagio saw a spare seat in the front and took it. As she did she noticed she was sitting next to Applejack. Applejack greeted Adagio to which she returned a crooked smile as she greeted back. Adagio couldn’t understand why Sonata wanted to be friends with humans in the first place let alone with a country hick. Granted Adagio did not like humans at all but she placed southerners on her top most useless humans alive list.
The teacher soon started to talk about the subject of the day. They were going to make potato lamps. The class was psyched to hear this. Well all but Aria and Vinyl who were sitting in the back listening to each others music. The teacher then handed out the equipment to the students. Adagio was smart but she really didn’t understand how this was suppose to work. Applejack asked if she was ok to which she replied by shaking her head. As they started to work on their project Adagio placed the wire wrong. Applejack told her that she did it wrong then proceeded to fix it. Adagio was very annoyed by having a southerner tell her she did something wrong. It wasn’t until she saw her working like a pro on it and the light started to work that she realized that she wasn’t half bad. Adagio was amazed at how smart Applejack was and could not help but feel some respect for her. But at the same time she still didn’t like being out witted by someone like her.
“See Sugar cube that is what you call git r dun.” Applejack said.
“Wow I’m amazed. Mostly southerners only know how to make out with their kin folk and get drunk.” Adagio said with a smirk even though she did not know why she said it.
Applejack was very offended by the statement and told her how offensive it was. Adagio apologized to her and for some reason meant it. Soon time was up and the teacher went around looking at each person’s project. He was amazed to see how well everyone did. As he got to Aria and Vinyl he knocked on their table to wake them up before congratulating them on a job well done on their project. Adagio looked at Applejack and told her that she did a great job and she rather enjoyed working together. Applejack smiled and said thanks as they shook hands. Adagio didn’t understand why she was doing this but it was as if a little voice in her head wanted her to.
Second Period
Their next period was gym and Aria was psyched. Adagio was less enthused about it. As they entered the building Aria already saw Rainbow Dash. As Rainbow got up from doing push ups she saw the two girls. Since Sunset told her to be nice she went over to them and said hi.
“Oh hi what was your name again? Skittles?” Aria said with a smirk.
“No it’s Rainbow Dash you Monster High reject.” Rainbow said glaring at her.
“I’m sorry what?” Aria asked confused.
Rainbow then told her what she meant by calling her a Monster High reject. Aria laughed at her and told her she was sorry. That she doesn’t watch kiddie shows. Rainbow was a bit annoyed because she only watched them with Scootaloo. She told her that she didn’t watch those movies that she is a fan of scary movies like Sombra King horror films. Aria laughed at her again then told her those movies couldn’t scare a five year old. She told Rainbow Dash that the Night of the Inside Out Zombies was way scarier. Suddenly a man in a blue sweat shirt with black hair and a nose ring came in and over heard the two girls conversation.
“GIIRRLSS!!! First off Attack of the Killer Cabbages is THE best horror FILM! And second who is ready to play DODGE BALL!!!?” Iron Will roared.
The students ran and grabbed balls and got into teams. Adagio was confused as to what was going on until a ball flew and hit her in the face. Suddenly Snails was laughing as he pointed at her saying she was out. Adagio clenched her fist about to chew him out until Aria yelled to her that it’s a part of the game. She then threw a ball at Snips which hit him in the face then hit Snails getting them both out. Adagio stormed to the bench then sat down. She threatened Snips and Snails to sit some where else or she would kill them. The two trembled as they went on the other side. Mean while Rainbow Dash was throwing and dodging the best she could not to get hit. Her target was on Aria. As the balls were flying every where it soon turned to one on one. It was just Rainbow Dash and Aria alone on the court. They tried their best to hit the other. But only to fail with the other having just as much mad skills as the other. At what felt like a stand still Snips and Snails started to root for Rainbow Dash to win. As those two cheered Rainbow on, Adagio didn’t know what came over her but she got up and demanded Aria to win and kick that scrawny girl’s can. Aria and Rainbow Dash just glared at each other. They knew they couldn’t just keep dodging over and over. So they both started to run at each other. As soon as they got close enough they threw the balls with as much force as they could muster. The balls passed each other and then slammed into the others guts. They both went down as everyone stood quiet. Iron Will grinned as he paid attention to each of them. The two girls got up and asked who won. Iron Will looked at both and said it’s a tie. They couldn’t believe what they heard as they soon glared at each other. They both knew this couldn’t pass.
Third Period.
Aria and Adagio walked to Art class. Aria was still mad that she was tied with skittles. Adagio thought it was stupid but didn’t bother to question it. As they finally got to class Sonata waved them over to their table. As they sat down Adagio noticed Pinkie pie and Sonata talking and laughing together. She noticed how happy Sonata was and not her typical Taco Tuesday happy or something stupid like that. But a happiness that comes from the heart. Sunset noticed this and smiled at Adagio before saying how great they were together. Adagio broke her train of thought and heard what Sunset said. She then asked if she was a ditz too. Sunset was kind of offended by this and told her that Pinkie wasn’t dumb or anything. That she just follows the beat of her own drum like Sonata.
“Ok class today we will be sculpting clay. I want you all to sculpt something that says YOU. Inspired by you and..DA MAGIKS” Ms. Photoshop said handing clay out to the class.
After about fifteen minutes Ms. Photoshop got up from her chair and walked around looking at everyone's creations. When she walked by her daughter’s table she was disgusted. Photofinish created a camera to represent her desire to be a photographer. Ms. Photoshop told her daughter that it wasn’t good enough for it didn’t capture the magic and at the rate she was going she would end up like her older brother Photobomb. As Photofinish argued with her mother the three girls were getting done with their projects. When Sunset and Adagio looked up they both were in shock at what they saw. Pinkie Pie and Sonata made a twenty inch tall well detailed T-rex with a party hat on. When Photoshop came over her jaw dropped at the display. Not only was it impossible for the clay to be this tall due to the amount given but it made no sense at all. Ms. Photoshop rubbed her temple as she asked both Pinkie and Sonata what did their art mean. But dared not ask how it got so big. Due to the last teacher to ask Pinkie about her logic fell into a concussion.
“Oh that’s easy. See sometimes I feel like my arms are shorter then other peoples. And they are sometimes too short to reach things. Oh and I love parties and cake and ice-cream and cupcakes. Also I get my sister Maud to play dinosaur with me. *squee*” Pinkie explained.
“ For realzies? Me too, I feel like my arms are shorter and I love playing dinosaur.*squee* But Adagio and Aria say dinosaurs are stupid.” Sonata said psyched.
Both Adagio and Ms. Photoshop thought to themselves; Oh my god there are two of them. She then looked over at the other girls art work. Adagio made a very well made small bird. While Sunset made a poorly made star. Aria’s clay how ever was just smashed into what looked like a mud puddle.
“I know it’s not perfect by a long shot. But I made a star because my friends make me feel like I really matter. And that I am not alone ever in this world just like Stars are never alone in the sky. “ Sunset said being a little embarrassed that her art wasn’t as good.
“I made a beautiful song bird. Because like a song bird I was loved by all until someone stole my voice.” Adagio said glaring at Sunset. However only she knew the bird truly meant she felt like a mother bird to Aria and Sonata.
“Yes those are lovely. And you Aria? Let me guess your puddle is meant to be how you feel like you're not good enough. That all you are is a small puddle in the road and you want to be more?” Ms. Photoshop asked.
“No it’s just beaten clay. Can I get an A now?” Aria said crossing her arms.
She gave them all an A but Aria who received a C- for at least participating.
Lunch Time
As all the girls sat down eating and talking about random things. Rainbow Dash called Aria for a new challenge. Aria then looked at Rainbow with a smile on her face. Making a comment about losing to her. This in turn made Rainbow mad and demand a test of strength. However Fluttershy cut in saying that fighting in school was prohibited. Also apologizing for getting in the middle. Rainbow Dash said it wasn’t a fight but an arm wrestle. Aria rolled her eyes and told her no. However after Rainbow made the comment about losing to her Aria got mad and then accepted her challenge. As they were arm wrestling Pinkie cheered Rainbow on as Applejack just watched while eating an apple. Sunset looked over at Adagio who was drinking her milk. She decided to ask if they will be ok without those gems.
“Yeah without yer fancy rocks aren’t ya gonna starve or something?” Applejack asked turning her attention on them.
“What gave you that idea? We are not Changelings who must feed off of emotions. We just feed to get stronger like an old friend of ours. All that happens when we feed is we stay the same age and become more powerful. However due to us feeding at age seventeen for us and sixteen for Sonata in human years, we are just going to age and live happy human lives without any issues.” Adagio said looking at Sunset to drop the conversation.
Sunset stopped talking about it knowing that as humans they are going to die when they get old. But didn’t want to say that in front of Sonata. She then smiled feeling relaxed to know they weren't going to starve to death. As she turned to look at Sonata who was playing with Fluttershy's little pet game, she smiled knowing that Sonata and her friends would be ok.
Fourth Period
It was language arts class and Adagio was sitting in front of Fluttershy. While Aria was sitting in the back not wanting to be seen. The teacher Mr. Adverb walked in and greeted the class. As he went to the board he started to talked about poems and what they mean. He then told them that the assignment was to make up their own poems. Fluttershy squeed as she loved writing poems. Aria slammed her head on the desk only to say ow because she did it too hard. Adagio let a grin slide up as she too enjoyed poems. Mostly Shake Spear. She started to think about what she should write until it came to her. After about ten minutes Mr. Adverb told them time was up. He then began to call them up one by one. One girl made a poem about rocks while the other made a poem about ponies. A cross eyed girl came up with a poem about muffins. It was soon Fluttershy’s turn to read. She smiled as she went to the front of the classroom.
“White is my color. My fur is so fluffy like no other. Tail so bushy; nose so pink. Whiskers so long, they make me unique. Pointed ears on top of my head, I can’t wait until I am fed. Who am I, What can I be? I’m a cute little bunny; Can’t you see?” Fluttershy read as she sat back down.
The class started to clap for Fluttershy as she went to her desk. Aria was making the shooting herself in the head with a gun gesture. Mr. Adverb then called upon Aria then Adagio.
This is so boring, I should be snoring. This really sucks, I want to up chuck.” Aria said going back to her desk.
“ Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire! You restless wall of flame. Fire! Fire! Roaring higher! Your fury to never tame. You show no mercy – no regard. A writhing army uncontrolled. At least you don’t discriminate, Selecting to exterminate. All dealt with equal pain untold.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire! You restless wall of flame. Fire! Fire! Roaring higher! Your fury to never tame. In time of drought you run amok. An open chimney of the land. Prefer to scorch than suffocate. In blinding zeal, incinerate To blackened vista now unmanned.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire! You restless wall of flame. Fire! Fire! Roaring higher! Your fury to never tame. Destruction be your only goal For you to vent your jealous wrath On gentle life with caring soul And human victims to console. As you are none, but psychopath.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire! You restless wall of flame. Fire! Fire! Roaring higher! Your fury to never tame. So there it is you are but flame. Reacting gases to adorn. With orange flicks of flailing arms, You’re flaunting your demonic charms! Now leave us for bereaved to mourn.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire! You restless wall of flame. Fire! Fire! Roaring higher! Your fury to never tame. So many lives to claim.” Adagio said looking at the class scared out of their wits of her even more now.
As she sat back down Fluttershy leaned up and asked if she really loved something that could be so evil. Adagio smirked and said yes. Fluttershy then sank lower into her seat.
Fifth Period.
Adagio and Aria walked into the history classroom. They took their seats as the teacher Mr. Stone Age cleared his throat and told them to get into a group of four. As the other students got into their own groups, Adagio and Aria didn’t know who to sit with until Rarity waved them to come over to sit with her and Derpy. So as they took their seats they got out their history books. Mr. Stone Age told them to open to where they left off yesterday. Derpy looked over and told them to turn to page two ten. She was the hall monitor and wanted to help out everybody she could. It turns out they were talking about ancient Greece. Adagio personally loved this topic. Aria on the other hand just put her face in the book and slept. As the teacher went on in the book he got to the part about the Sirens.
“Now Sirens were known to be ugly creatures that had a face only a mother could love. They used their beautiful voices to lure men to their dooms.” Said Mr. Stone Age
Aria jerked her head back up and Adagio started to become mad. Rarity looked over to see them with rage in their eyes. Rarity asked what was wrong until Adagio raised her hand. The teacher asked what was it. Adagio then calmly said that in some mythologies Sirens were seen as beautiful, even sex symbols. The teacher just chuckled and told her that was false information because Sirens have always been said to be ugly. The two girls clenched their fists ready to chew out the teacher for daring to say such a thing until Rarity jumped in.
“Well maybe the Sirens were beautiful and it made some other mythical creature very jealous of them and so they spread lies. Like say Medusa?” Rarity said nervously hoping to calm down the very ticked off Sirens.
The two girls realized she could be right. Then sat back down.
“Hmm guess your right marshmallow. Medusa was always jealous of how good we looked compared to her dry skin.” Aria said cooling down.
“Yeah it’s really the humans fault for being so stupid and gullible. It’s amazing they don’t believe in some big footed ape or sea creature in some lake. You humans are sad indeed” Adagio said with a smirk on her face.
Rarity was glad she was able to get them to calm themselves before they did something they would regret. Also she was amazed that it worked and that they even new Medusa at all. Granted they are not of this world like Sunset but still.
Sixth period.
It was their last class as they sat beside each other. None of the other girls they knew were in this classroom. It was just them this time. As the teacher Ms. Right Angle handed out the worksheets to work on, Aria passed Adagio a note asking does she have any plans for them. Adagio wrote no. Aria was a bit annoyed and past another note again. This time asking is this really worth it. Is this what their lives have become. Adagio read the note long and hard. She thought of all her plans from over the past month. But knew deep down in her heart that they were futile. The gems were broken and could never be fixed again. She even went and bought special necklaces and gems that were said to work but didn’t. She even thought about going back home. But it was pointless because only Princess Twilight Sparkle could use the mirror. Adagio had no more plans, no more schemes, nothing. She figured the only way to live now was simply to be typical human beings with the others. Who knows maybe she and Aria would like it without being hated or having to move town to town. But she also knew something else deep down in her heart. Aria and Sonata knew nothing about it because she didn’t want them to worry. Adagio smiled and wrote back on the paper saying yes and we should try to make the best of it. Aria read the note kinda mad but at the same time she understood her decision.
