The Lift

by MissSparklePony1


Stuck for a While

The two band mates stood in front of a door waiting for one of them to knock on it.

"Well, this is her room, Pinkie took me here for a sleepover one night, you wanna open it?"

"Well it's just I have never asked for help before, so I don't know what she'll say!"

Fortunately Applejack heard the commotion outside her room and went to see what was going on. "What in tarination are y'all doin' here? And Adagio why were you so worried on the phone? Did somethang happen?" Applejack questioned them as she opened the door, the girls stepped into the bedroom and sat themselves on the bed.

Adagio cleared her throat . "Well you see the thing is tha-"

"OMG, Pinkie's right you do have a lot of hats. Almost as much as Adagio puts shampoo on her hair every morning, I mean have you seen how much she spends-"

"SONATA, we have a crisis on our hands maybe we'll focus on that first." Adagio glared. Turning back to Applejack she continued," as I said the thing is that Aria seems to be stuck in the lift to our apartment and she's trapped with Pinkie inside so we need you to...help... Us get them out, cause Sonata's worried that Aria will kill Pinkie unless we stop them." Adagio blushed, she never asked for help and now that she did she was a bit embarrassed.

Applejack grew a tiny smirk on her face,"Y'all mean as in Aria Blaze, your sister, is trapped with Pinkie Pie this is too rich," she said as she fell on her bed.

Now that Applejack says it like that it is pretty funny, looks like asking for help isn't such a bad idea after all.


*Back in the Present*

Aria was bored out of her skull . So far she suffered 46 songs a sing a long and a history about the pink nightmare!

If she doesn't shut up for one freakin second I'll beat her up so she looks like one of those old crazy animatronics at the new pizza place!

"Hey Aria!"

"Yeah."

"What do you think of me?"

Aria was confused," What do you mean?"

"I mean the only connection between us is Sonata, do you think I'm annoying?" Pinkie's voice wavered a bit.

Aria wanted to scream 'of course you idiot, you don't ever shut up!' But she couldn't, so she said "Well, sometimes you're a little... Unpredictable if you know what I mean,"

"OK, it's just that my parents always say that I need to grow up, stop being different. They want me to be a rockologist while I want to be a comedian, see people laugh. Sometimes I wonder if everyone thinks that I'm childish, immature and sometimes I get nightmares that..." Aria could see that the usually energetic girl's hair was completely flat and she started to cry "...that they will stop being my friends!" Pinkie was now sobbing uncontrollably.

Suddenly Aria was beside Pinkie, rocking her back and front.

"Listen, Flamingo, I'm gonna tell you something and if you tell anybody then you're dead meat. I know how you fell. When we were young Sirens, Sonata was cute and fun, Adagio was the young, independent leader and I was just there. My parents hated me, especially my dad so he always pushed me about, yelled at me and punished me more. I hated being ruled over like that, so when my parents just left I tried pushing Sonata around, because it felt good after all the years I got to push someone, I felt like nothing could stop me. But also 'cause I'm jealous of Sonata, she has a natural cuteness, she gets the soft spot from Dagi and she found a best friend but I don't!"

Aria never told anybody about these, and now she did she felt a little better.

"Aria, I never knew you had it so bad, but you do know that if you want you can be best friends with me, I'd love to have you as a friend."

Maybe 50 shades of pink isn't as bad as she seems!

"Gumdrop I'd adore it if you were my friend!"

Both girls smiled as they huddled each other in the darkness, waiting for someone to find them.


* 2 hours earlier*

"So let me get this straight, you called us here because Pinkie Pie and Aria are stuck in a lift together and we have to get them out?" Rainbow asked Adagio.

"Yes, cause trust me, Aria will go berserk if she doesn't play Grand Theft Auto 5!"

"Um... I hate to be a bother, but how are we going to save them?" Asked Fluttershy, barely audible.

"Fluttershy does make a valid point, how are we going to help them?" Rarity pointed out.

The girls moved their rescue planning to Sugar Cube Corner, sipping their milkshakes.

Rainbow Dash was peeking at her phone looking anxious. "Has anyone else heard about the robberies going on lately?"

"I have, Sweetie Belle told me about it this morning when she was working on her column."

Suddenly Sunset Shimmer stood up. "I have an idea, listen up!" Everyone leaned in to her the plan...


*Meanwhile in a dark alley*

"Alright guys, that last place that we were at we got a bunch of stuff, heck we even got a bunch of muffins," a gruff voice came out. "Who next?"

"Hey let's see if there are any apartments to rob, I miss those times," a second voice joined in.

"Yeah, let's, please boss!" A third one agreed.

"Fine, let's go see if any apartments are empty!" The first man said to his companions. "What about the one one on top of that building..."
