Nine months, twenty three days and two years until 'Endgame'
Proper stories supposed to start at the beginning... ain't so proper with this one.
Now here's the story of two girls, whose whole world got twisted upside down for one day.
I was just an average bartender, I've seen certain people. I've seen those who want to take a break from life, and those who want a good time in life. I've seen those who are down on their luck, and those who were celebrating a greatly achieved goal. I knew people by how they walked, and what they wore, those were tell-tale signs.
So come to my surprise when for once, I can't seem to pin these two young lady's who walk in.
Easy to look at, no doubt, but at my age, a relationship was the last thing I need.
They ordered two different drinks, the blue skinned one ordered something on the sweet side, something that was nutty, but the same time, creamy. Something so rich, it's brought men back from the brink for one last taste. She was as sweet as the drink.
Now the other, whoa mother, that other one. She ordered something hard hitting, and sour. Now, I've tried every drink in this ol' place, heck I made every single one of em', and what she ordered was bitter, and lasted for hours. But it's so sour, it'll perk you right up when you're feeling low. She definitely had the attitude to go with hers.
Now they go on about something, I decided to listen in, with their permission of course. They start talking about this 'war' these two were in, by the sounds of it, it was mostly a pride thing. And they go on about how their older sister had banned certain aspects of it.
Now let me tell you something.
When there are rules, people find a way around them that suits their needs. These girls were no different, they made a small... 'truce.' The blood sizzled in the flames when they made the agreement. 'What happens at home when Adagio's not around, stays at home when Adagio's not around.'
And today, she was out.
Now they went right to work on something, they knew they had only had till nightfall to get it done.
####
Adagio, was in all honesty, exhausted. All she wanted to do was relax for one day. That wasn't too much to ask for, right? She decided to try and relax in her home first,
try and imagine how well that went...
She decided to take a walk, see the sights of this new neighborhood they were now in. The locals were... strange, to say the least. They seemed very nice... too nice. It was unsettling, one of them was waving at her now! They had already made plans to move outta here A.S.A.P.
Before she knew it, she had walked for an entire hour, and she was on the outskirts of town when it started to rain, hard! So now she had to walk back an entire hour, in the cold hard rain. Her heavy clothes didn't help in the trek.
She was finally outside her own home now, her hair was soaking, and her skin was shining a little when the porch light reflected off the water on her skin.
She didn't bother knocking, it was her house anyway, and it was already unlocked. She walked right in.
*click*
'What was that?'
*tink*
'Seriously, what is that?'
*Ptang*
Something moved out of the corner of Adagio's eye. It looked like a little ball, it had just escaped from a tin can that tipped over.
*Clank*
The ball had knocked over a metal bar and it was now riding down it.
*Crash*
It pushed down a bowling ball at the apex of its descent which knocked down a pile of dominoes before rolling away from a line of the things.
*Clunk*
The dominoes now knocked down a wood plank which launched something in the air.
*POW*
Adagio's ears started ringing as she heard a gunshot, A GUNSHOT! Turned out that something that flew threw the air landed on a pressure plate that tugged a string which pulled the trigger of a loaded pistol.
'When did we get that!?'
The bullet had hit a bulls-eye on the other side of the room, and she could hear the sound of rushing air next.
She then saw a small pink... thing was slowly growing in size right beside her. First to the size of a thumb, then quickly to a head, and then a watermelon. It only increased in size as Adagio backed off away from it. But the size of the thing continued to grow. It took her a second to realize what it was.
A giant wad of gum!
And it only continued to grow in size!
It was touching the roof now, and it looked as if it were stretching. Meaning only one thing!
Her screams were drowned out as she tried to push it away.
*POP*

Now, if you were to walk into their house, whether it be to visit, or for other... unclean motives, you would've seen the walls were coated in pink. Maybe a little slimy too. With a lone figure standing in the center, covered in pink as well. The only thing showing was her eyes, and they were furrowed in nothing but anger and rage. I can assure, you would've left in a hurry.
I may not have seen it, but I laugh at the simple image of it.
Now, to those two gals, that sight was something to tremble too.
####
Adagio was steaming, but because of the gum that didn't allow any air to break through, she was being cooked alive. She burst through the gum in a fit of rage, breaking through with her arms and taking in a breath of air. But she was still covered in the sticky material.
She could hear wet splotches as she saw a figure slowly approach her.
"Dagi? You okay?" it said timidly.
Didn't take a genius to realize it was Sonata.
"Oh yeah... I'm absolutely livid!" she seethed.
"I-I'm sorry," Sonata said.
"Rule number three! Say it!" Adagio demanded.
Sonata's head went low. "Quote. 'You cannot, and I mean cannot, drag I, Adagio Dazzle, into any of your hair-brained schemes.' End quote."
"Right! So what's going to happen, is I'm going to go and shower this muck off me before it hardens, and when I get back, all of this better be cleaned up, or else!" she let those last words sink in.
"O-Or else what?" Sonata asked, a worried look in place.
"I don't think you wanna find out..." and with that, she headed for the stairs.
She set one foot on the first rise when.
*Click*
'Not again!'
####
Now who here bets on what's gonna happen next?
####
She felt a chair push from behind as she unexpectedly took a seat.
She could feel it rising up the steps at breakneck speeds when it came to a full stop. This effectively flung her forward
The door leading to the master bedroom was wide open, and she could see a wide array of mechanical arms... menacingly holding scissors.
Once through the doors, she saw the scissors dive right for her.
She closed her eyes expecting unimaginable pain, but instead, they brushed right past her.
Once on her feet again, she felt... lighter. Then she realized the scissors did cut something... her clothes. She was now naked, save forthe fact there was bubblegum on her hair and face... that was it, eerything else was pure skin, and a pair of revealing panties.
"AHH!!!"
*Click*
Before she could cover herself, she heard a camera shutter. Then she was splashed with water which was daintily hanging from right above her. Across from the room was a digital camera, and it was wired to a computer.
After recovering from the initial shock, she went over to the camera to see what exactly it had shown.
Turned out the computer was doing that for her, she was bare open, and next to her picture was a little bar which read.
'Uploaded 100%'
She could then see the closet door open, and out walked Aria, a shocked expression on her face as she had a hand covering her mouth.
"Oh my god!" she muttered.
"Don't say anything! I have had a long day! And all I wanted was to finish it with a nice warm shower, but nooooo! You two idiots ruined that too!" she wasn't letting up. "All because of this stupid war you have going on! I mean, what the hell is the matter with you two!"
"Uh... Adagio?"
"I don't want to hear it! I'm gonna try and savor whatever time I have left, you better be out of my room when I get back, or else!" she warned through gritted teeth.
"Or else what?"
"YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW!!" she barked. She then left her room, and made way for the bathroom.
Aria stood there, dumbfounded. Sure, she got mad at them, but that time... Jesus. And it would only get worse... much worse.
Sonata poked her head from the door frame and looked at Aria.
"You okay?" she asked timidly.
"Yeah... I'm fine..." she was still staring. "So what'd you do?"
"I covered the living room in bubblegum... and her. What'd you do?"
"I posted a picture of her naked onto the internet... and I may have..." she hesitated.
"Yeah?"
"I sort of..."
"Sort of?"
"Dumped her with hair remover."
Sonata stared at her soon-to-be-deceased sister.
"You dead."
"Should we.. you know? Get out of here before she snaps in there?" Aria asked.
Sonata made a motion with her arms, signalling Aria to pass. "Lady's first," she said.
"*Hmph* Lady? You must have me confused for someone else, clutz," she said, walking to the steps, and later the door.

"So what'ya waiting for exactly?" I ask them.
The sweet one answered first. with a slightly higher octave in her voice, she looked tired. As if struggling to stay up. "*Hic* Dunno..." she said.
"Yeah, we're kinda just waiting for a sign that she... you know," the other made a circle with her finger motion near her head.
"Ahh, I see," I nod. "So how long do ya reckon that'll take?" I ask.
Then I heard something. I didn't know what at first, but after a little time, I figure it out.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I look at the two of them. Now they look like they heard death coming for em'. Probably is.
"Could we... stay here for a bit? Just till she calms down a little, please?" the purple one asked.
The sweet one fell asleep somehow, she was leaning against her older sister now.
"Girl, with the trouble you stowed, she's gonna sniff you out," I say jovially.

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe.
Twilight had just dipped her quill into the ink pot, ready to write a new sentence before it inevitably dried up, forcing her to re-dab it. She decided to quickly read what she had wrote. To check for any mistakes, unlikely, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned-
Something snapped her attention out of focus, and her ears swiveled in all directions.
She could hear something, but she couldn't tell where! It was faint, no different then a squeaking mouse. But then it quickly picked up. Something... angry, something that demanded blood!
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Everything in her tree-house rattled; anything that wasn't nailed down fell to the floor, including her books, which her just re-shelved today...
"Am I going crazy? You heard that, right Twilight?" she heard a voice from upstairs say.
Took her a second to process it was simply Spike. Whatever it was must have woken him up.
"I felt that..." was all she could say.
