It was an unpleasant night. The sky was gloomy, clouds covered the stars and streets wouldn’t shut up! Ever since we lost our necklaces to those girls at Canterlot High, every day has been like that. But Adagio still believes that we can create disharmony.

‘Come on girls! I know that we can tear them apart.’ Agadio says, pointing at two girls walking through the park we were hiding in.
‘And how you expect us to do that? Lure them apart somehow and tell the girl that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her friend?’ I say with a giggle.

‘That is a pretty good idea! Good job, Aria.’

‘I was kid-‘

‘So how are we going to do it?’ asks Sonata.

Adagio starts to think. ‘I got it!’ she says, honestly worrying me, ‘here is the plan: I’ll hide in the alley while you two split them up. Then I’ll tell the other that-‘

‘Adagio’ I say, ‘That is not going to work. There is nothing you can possibly tell them that they will believe enough to start an argument.’

‘If we can just persuade them to-‘

I shake my head. ‘Give up Adagio. Without the necklaces, there is no way we can gain control.’

‘What do you mean, Aria?’ asks Sonata.

‘She doesn’t know what she is talking about. We can still find some way to get them under our control!’ Adagio says to Sonata.

‘You are crazy!’ I start, ‘We have been like this for weeks. We lost all our powers to manipulate. These dumb ideas to create “disharmony” have no purpose. It used to fuel our magic, but now we don’t have that either!’

‘But-‘Sonata begins, but I continue

‘You know, maybe I should take the lead for once.’

‘I already told you’ Adagio says, ’we are going to do it my way. I am the one who found us those necklaces in the first place. ‘

‘And look where that got us!’

‘You don’t have a clue how to lead.’ Adagio teases

‘You don’t know that! Or maybe you’re just afraid that I will be a better leader than you’ and then it hit me, ’you know what? I am out! I will find my own way to power.

‘And how will you do that?’

Honestly, I didn't know how I was going to do that. But I was sure that I didn’t want to be pushed around by Adagio anymore!

I storm out of the park, but take one last look at them. Sonata looks at me with her sad eyes. I know I would miss her a lot. Adagio looks at me in a different way. I’m not sure if she is happy or sad, and I’m not sure she knows either. I mouth one final “goodbye” and keep walking.
