This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: Her Knight in Shining Armor


Sonata Dusk has been kicking around the human world for a long time, but she has never set foot inside a school before the incident at CHS. One lazy morning during her walk with her friends, she decides to take a good long look inside Crystal Prep Academy, and may end up finding much more than she bargained for.

Sonata Big Deal

...I don't know if I should face-palm, or crack a smile at that joke.

Cute chapter.

It's kinda sad that they think they can't talk.

I'd expect the sirens to carry notepads and pens with them all the time. Otherwise, they just can't function in the world.

On a personal note, I'd love to see Aria beat the crap out of someone for Sonata.

Starswirl called her 'Miss Dusk' but she only wrote 'Sonata' when he asked for her name. Mistake or foreshadowing?

6913812 All of the above.

6914719 Dun Dun Dunnn!:derpyderp1:

FWIW, I wonder if Sonata will ever get around to telling Sour Sweet that the reason she's so good at archery is because she learned to do it in circumstances where, if you failed to score a direct hit, the target had a tendency to try to cut off your head.

It must be strange, to have the mind of an immortal witch in the body of a teenage girl...

In all honesty I meant that as a serious question, but I'm hoping that it's foreshadowing in some way. Even if it's something relatively simple like he heard about the Sirens from Twilight, that could be a really interesting story hook.

So is this the same Starswirl Twilight knows from the bus? Or was that the human world's Starswirl, and this the Equestrian one?

Ri2

So…when you say 'life-partner,' do you mean…?

I'm surprised Sour Sweet believed the thousand year thing so quickly.

Nice story I like it, no I LOVE it wish to see more of the Shadowbolts Adventures

SIRENS!!! :yay:

I had the exact same thought, :pinkiecrazy:

EDIT: Also, what is up with that giant faberge egg on the cover? I came into this story expecting faberge eggs, and there were no faberge eggs. I'm going to say faberge again just because it's funny.

... Faberge!

6915417 Considering that this Starswirl acts nothing like the one on the bus (Shadowbolts Adventures: Standing Up) . If he were, wouldn't he recognize Twilight Sparkle, the student with top scores, if he were a teacher at CPA? I agree, either foreshadowing or a polthole/typo; I'm hoping for the former...:trixieshiftright:

She's at CHS now. The previous history teacher was fired in Sugarcoated, so Starswirl could be the permanent replacement for him.

6915826 How did I miss that?:facehoof:

Thanks, no plothole after all. Might still be a typo, but I hope not.

And Suri Polomare Changed Her Name Is Buttonbelle, Chi.

After all the magic mumbo jumbo she witnessed at CHS during the Friendship Games she has reason to believe that such things aren't outside the realm of possibility.

Also no, "Life Partner" in this case does not mean romantic partner. It's closer to non-romantic soul mates.

I wonder will Sonata will meet the CP Sunset.

That was quite bittersweet, more than a little sad.

6916508 So glad to hear that. When you first called Adagio her 'Life-partner' I was rather taken aback. After reading some more, I realized that it was a more vague concept than just romance, which I really appreciate. People rarely touch on strong emotional bonds that aren't family, friends, or romances.

Now this was sweet.

This is EQG used to its full potential.

Why can't Sonata talk?

That was nice! Starswirl was odd, but it's great seeing Sonata making friends and moving on!

I think you may have missed a few stories...

She waited until she was dry enough not to soak the articles of clothing before yanking them out into the open. She tried on a couple of outfits in a tall body-length mirror on the wall opposite the shower entrance, striking some saucy poses before pulling out the violet skirt and vest. There was something really nice about these in particular, she wasn't sure what, but after she put them on she felt really super intelligent, or capable or... something similar to those. The vest didn't cover much, though, so she took it off and slipped the white shirt she also found in the locker on underneath it. Suddenly she grinned. She looked so classy.

She's so gonna be busted when the girl in question finds out her clothes from her locker go missing because sonata decided to take them. :ajbemused:

"You don't talk much, huh?" The girl smirked. Sonata looked away at that and rubbed her throat with her palm. The girl spoke in a lighter tone. "Seriously? Oh... uh, sorry, I guess." Sonata looked up to see the girl shaking her head. "The name's Sour Sweet. I don't think I've ever seen you around school before. Are you new?" Sonata nodded her head furiously. Sour Sweet's lip curled into another smirk. "You better not hold the class back. Come on, let's get out there."

Right forgot, she and her sisters dislike their voices. Which is ridiculous if you ask me. 😑

Sonata grinned and snapped the arrow out of her hand, approached the line, and knocked the arrow into place. She brought herself down to one knee, taking a low stance that allowed her to keep her body tense, even as it would hide her in a bush from those who would try to counterattack. She took a deep breath, taking in the tension of the string and the feeling of the breeze on her cheek, adjusting her aim almost imperceptibly. When the arrow left the bow, it was straight and true, not only hitting the target dead center but embedding itself several inches deeper than her new friend's.

Damn :pinkiegasp:

"Th-that..." Sour Sweet stammered for a brief moment before snapping the bow away from her. That was a lucky shot! Get out of my way! I'm still the best !" Sonata waggled her fingers together beside her head in a crude mockery, flopping her tongue around in a 'blah blah blah' motion. " I'll prove it! I can do that in one shot! It's easy !" Sour Sweet lined up quickly to take another shot, but the arrow this time slammed into the white zone. She was starting to get impatient and not paying attention, Sonata could tell.

Oofity :fluttershyouch:

"Excuse me." A commanding voice rose above the hallway chatter, drawing the attention of both girls. Another girl was standing behind them with her arms folded over her chest, giving Sonata a glare fit for the grim reaper. "That is my spare uniform! You stole it from me!"

Saw it coming a mile away. 😒

Sour Sweet leaned close to mutter again while the teacher had his back turned. "See? Professor Starswirl is just plain creepy, isn't he? If you need any help, just let me know. I'm not great at history, but I can try."

Wow, wasn't expecting to see him again after the few times he interacted eith twilight. :applejackunsure:

She had no idea how she did on the test. She was pretty sure she got the questions about this country right, she had been here since before the first settlers got here, but she didn't know much about other countries. She kept her eyes on the paper as Starswirl moved up the rows, grading papers and giving comments to each student as he went. He stopped once again in front of Sonata and held his hand out to her. She lifted her paper without meeting his gaze, keeping her eyes on the desk while he scribbled on the paper quickly, then set it down in front of her with a giant B written on the top.

Wow, I was expecting sonata to likely fail that but damn, guess she ain't dumb afterall. 😦

Sonata blinked in surprise, her unconscious grip on her desk loosening. "I've always been a believer in helping people move forward in their lives. To make up for their past mistakes." His eyes gleamed as they stared into her own. Did he know...? How could he know? There was no way this was... "I'll speak with Principal Cinch personally. I may be new here myself, but I assure you my credentials give me ample influence. She'll listen to what I have to say." Sonata could only nod. She felt like her brain had turned itself off. "Come back tomorrow, and I'll make sure we get you set up with the proper assortment of classes." Sonata nodded again. "You two go on, get out of here. You have a day to enjoy yet without spending too much of it listening to an old man."

Wow, I was expecting something different but that was very thoughtful of him. :twilightsmile:

Sour Sweet just smirked and slapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, just because you're a lying buttbag doesn't mean I don't wanna hang out with you. Just don't freaking lie to me, okay? I hate it when people lie to me ." Sonata nodded quickly and crossed her finger over her chest. "Now come on, as long as you're here, you might as well keep me company through the rest of my classes."

That was too close.

The rest of the day was fairly uneventful. Sonata's lies and confession were lost, and everything was as if nothing strange happened at all. Still, her mind kept flicking back to Professor Starswirl, who she caught sight of in the hallway a few times, but who never acknowledged her outside of the classroom. She felt like he knew something about her, but it just wasn't possible for him to have not only followed them here, but survived all this time. They had used the Siren Stones to last this long, how could he possibly do it? Was unicorn magic so much stronger than they realized?

That's just his human counterpart sonata, the one you know of is still in equestria.
