Epilogue
“Oh, Mary, you look ravishing in that skimpy negligee.”
Adagio sighed deeply, rubbing her neck in pain. Her head was throbbing, and her hair had lost much of its luster. She had been sick for the last two days, and it was beginning to take its toll.
“Mmm, darling, don’t you wish we were married?”
Adagio sneezed, then groaned as the movement sent a fresh pang through her skull. She reached out from under her pile of blankets and grabbed a tissue from a nearby box of tissues.
“But we are! …or did you mean to each other?”
Being sick was awful, Adagio decided. She felt weak, and tired, and yucky. At least with Aria and Sonata gone, the apartment was quiet. Just her and her soaps.
“I’ve got to have you! Let’s murder our spouses!”
She took a long sip from her tea, the lukewarm beverage soothing her throat as it trickled past her lips.
“Murder!? You sick animal! I love it when you talk that way! Come here!”
Snuggling into her nest on the couch, Adagio smiled softly. Maybe being sick had some perks. Humans had certainly perfected the art of entertainment, at least. It was the perfect thing for a sick body. Just lots of peace, and quiet, and rest.
“Adagio!” Sonata’s voice cried as she threw open the door. “We’re back!”
Adagio scrambled for the remote, quickly turning off the television before either of her sisters walked in on her guilty pleasure.
“Adagio? You in here?” Aria called a moment later. “You better be resting.”
“In here,” Adagio answered hoarsely. The greeting brought a more genuine smile her face. As much as she had enjoyed the peace and quiet, she had to admit that she was starting to get lonely being cooped up alone all day with the girls gone. “I actually think I missed you two.”
“Heh, don’t get too sappy on us,” Aria snarked, walking into the room and leaning against the door frame, “Might ruin your image.”
“Oh, ha ha,” Adagio rolled her eyes, tossing a used tissue at her younger sister. It fell to the floor long before reaching its intended target.
“I’m making soup!” Sonata called from the kitchen. “Ari, don’t forget to give her the medicine!”
“Oh yeah,” Aria said, pulling a bottle from her pocket and tossing it to Adagio. “Here.”
“Aria,” Adagio said, catching the bottle. She squinted at the way her sister’s face was starting to puff up around her left eye, “Is that a black eye? What happened?”
Aria waved her off. “Eh, forget about it. I’m sure Sonata will tell you.”
“Aria had fu~un!” Sonata shouted.
“Did not!”
“Did too!”
“Whatever.” Aria rolled her eyes. “I’ll be in my room.” She turned to walk out, but Adagio raised her hand and managed to snag the hem of her shirt. Aria turned, raising an eyebrow questioningly.
“Thank you, Aria,” Adagio said.
Aria smirked. “What did I say about getting sappy?” She slipped out of the room as Sonata came bounding in, throwing herself on the couch next to Adagio and throwing an arm around her big sister.
“Well,” Adagio said, gingerly returning the hug, “Don’t keep me in suspense. What did you two get up to today?”
“Well…”

2: I liked this little Epilogue a lot, it was short and cute. I would actually love to see more of there little mini adventures
8087034 Got it in one
Have a mustache!
I hope to have more in the future, so be on the lookout!
8085582 Yup, you read her like a book
This is a cute ending and all, but if they don't know the type or severity of the illness, how did they know what kind of medicine to bring her?
8090998 Yeah, I was a little worried I was being unfair to Rainbow Dash there, but honestly it's pretty like her. But she is also usually quick to admit to her mistakes, once she realizes she's made one.
8091001 Sonata miiiight have been exaggerating a tiny bit for sympathy. But my take on it is, Adagiobasically had something like a cold or flue, something common that's easily treatable to most people, but since the sirens have never been sick they have no idea how their immune systems can handle it. They've probably never bothered to vaccinate.
Thanks for the interest!
Cute fic! I sort of wish Aria had hit RD back, because that actually annoyed me more than a little. But I suppose they were out numbered by quite a bit, in addition to the whole magic vs no magic state of affairs. Nice work.
8112595 It was tempting, I'll admit
Thanks
I really enjoyed this story. Loved your portrayal of Aria, and Sonata was just the right level of annoying and whining until she got her way
I particularly liked how you handled the conflict, that Aria didn't back down or feel she had to explain herself; I agree with the commenter below that it would have been nice to hit Rainbow back, but then the whole thing would have escalated and probably not ended well. If anything I thought Rainbow's apology made her look even worse, that she thought some pithy one-line explanation could excuse giving someone a black eye. And I agree with a previous comment, that is in keeping with her character. As was that all six of them felt threatened enough to power up their magic, just by someone defying them after having been punched to the floor.
For what it's worth I thought it worked a bit better without the epilogue; I thought the touching sister moment was a more fitting note of optimism to end on, but that's me.
Good job with the story
8117475 Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Sonata and Aria is definitely a fun pair to write, and I'm glad I struck a good balance with them.
That's along the same line I was thinking, for sure. I tried not to demonize anyone, but some characters are definitely more prone to conflict than others.
I don't disagree with your opinion on the epilogue, it probably wasn't strictly necessary, but it did tie up some loose ends I wanted taken care of.
Anyway, thanks for the comment

8127346 nice
So this story is still super popular, so, any chance of that possible sequel you mentioned?
(edit) "So Silly me, I didnt realize there already WAS a sequel to this!"
*slips off to read it*
8177777 Chances are at 100%
Enjoy!
8179054 Why thank you!

I'd think that the Middle Ages, followed by Renascence and Reformation, would leave a much more lasting impression on them.
8242920
Perhaps, if they were in EG "Europe" as the time. I haven't worked out their entire history yet, but I have the inkling that they are far more well traveled than that.
All in all, though, this question has a more complicated answer than I can really give in the comment's section. I wrote a blog post that goes into my thought process on the nature of the human world in a bit more detail.

What does it matter? How's it different from "Oh, Jesus Christ!" or "Oh my god!" It's just a different religion.
Wow, the sirens never have been sick because of their magic, that makes sense. But now that they don't have their magic anymore they can become sick, also makes sense. They've lived through outbreaks of the black death, the plaque, cholera, other epidemics and dozens of diseases that normal people got shots for when they were young, who can tell what Adagio is getting there now that the protecting magic is gone. Especially having seen how weak the human body is against diseases it makes a lot of sense that the sirens would get a touch worried when one of them shows the signs of sickness.
Man I really wish there were more fics of the sirens over the centuries.
Also, I like to believe that flipping someone off is actually a siren gesture that just spread across the world over the centuries (except in the UK where people use two fingers).
8267238
The sirens definitely would have seen some shit.
Haha, that's a hilarious idea. A story about the sirens going through history and unintentionally inspiring all sorts of cultural things like that would be great
An epilogue is an epilogue. Very cute.
8268210
Thank you!
A nice fun story. However, I can do without the language and Rainbow acting violent at the end.
Aww. This was a sweet little story. Now to read the sequel!
8596179
Thanks! Hope you like it!
You lost me when Dash apologized for the Battle of the Bands. The Sirens were aiming for world conquest, and their method of choice was mass brainwashing. They had to be stopped. You shouldn't apologize for doing the right thing.
8598063
Ah well, I understand. Although, to be fair she wasn't so much apologizing for stopping them, as she was apologizing for the aftermath of it.
So sweet!
Calvin and Hobbes reference.
Got it right away.

Setup
Huh! This was nice! I kinda want to see a sequel or something at least related to it.
EDIT:
Oh...wait...there is a sequel. Am I unobservant, or am I just dumb?
Adagio having an affinity for cheesy soap operas is certainly an amusing idea.
Well had I been Adagio I would've paid the rain booms a visit. No I wouldn't attack them. Unless prompted.
