The Making of Chaos

Fighting

"Fine, here's what really happened..."


Sunset, Rarity, and Adagio walked along in an awkward silence. Sunset tried to get a conversation going a few times, but Adagio seemed dead-set on ignoring her. Fluttershy had been right about at least this Dazzling. Adagio seemed lost without her backup.

"Should we go to Too Many Games?" Sunset asked, hopefully.

"Sounds fine by me. Adagio?" Rarity gave a hopeful smile to the siren.

"Hmph, whatever." Adagio shrugged, seemingly uninterested. Sunset and Rarity shared a look before setting off in the direction of the store. When they got there Sunset paused in front to look at a display of used CDs while the other two went in.

"Whoa, Distorted Tour!" Sunset grinned when she saw the discounted CD just out of reach. Carefully she leaned her weight on the side of the case, reaching for the CD. She had just gotten the edge of the CD's case in her grip when she felt someone shove the small of her back and swipe her feet out from under her. She had no time to suspect foul play because in one swift motion she landed flat on top of the display case.

With a crash and a yelp, Sunset found herself on the ground surrounded by CD cases and promotional posters. Rarity rushed over to her and helped her up while several employees began picking up the display and setting it back up. Both girls received several dirty looks for their troubles, and Sunset limped off to the side with Rarity.

"Are you okay, dear?" Her friend brushed her off and straightened her hair.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Sunset sighed, "I think someone pushed me."

"Who would do such a thing?"

Looking around, Sunset frowned. "Could have been anyone, I guess. Where did Adagio go?" Both girls glanced around, and became a bit frantic when they couldn't find the siren. Sunset spotted a mop of orange hair and they headed towards it, and luckily it was Adagio.

Laughing.

"What's so funny?" Sunset scowled, knowing full well why the siren was laughing.

"You are." Adagio grinned, "I mean, I'm an instigater and all, but not even I would pick a fight with a display case!"

Rarity giggled a bit at the idea, and Sunset crossed her arms. She had a sneaking suspicion that Adagio knew more about the accident, but before she could say anything, a large 'Bang!' sounded somewhere near by. A few moments later everyone began rushing out of the story, and the three girls were pushed out with them.

"What was that?!"

"Was that a bomb?"

"I just don't know what went wrong!"

"We're under attack!"

People everywhere shouted as they all tried to figure out where the noise had come from. A few security guards attempted to calm everyone down, but the mob mentality had already taken over.

"Let's get out of here!" Sunset said, grabbing Adagio by the arm and following Rarity as they began to run.

"I have a feeling one of our idiots is behind this." Adagio frowned.

"Please don't use the term "Idiots", it's not very nice." Rarity frowned.

Sunset felt a bit left out, so she frowned as well. Just then, the power overhead flickered out. They heard screams and shouts from various storms before some kind of back up generator kicked on, and it was bright again.

"Well, that could have been worse." Sunset smile. Adagio's lips twitched, but before she could say anything she was interrupted by Pinkie Pie's screams. They all shared a panicked look, and ran to the source of the shouts.


"Wait wait wait." Rainbow looked to Applejack, Fluttershy, and Aria. "What have you three been doing this whole time?"

"Harassing all of you." Aria said simply. The others went wide-eyed at this confession.

"Actually, Flutters'n I lost track of Aria right after we all split up." Applejack admitted, "We've been looking for her."

"What do you mean, 'harassing us'?" Sunset glared at the purple siren, who smirked.

"Well..."
