A Dazzle of Reformation

Chapter 1

It has been two years since Twilight and friends defeated the Dazzlings. Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze were now empty shells of who they used to be. They became normal people without the use of magic or their singing voices. Having nothing else at their disposal, they were left doing the hardest thing they’ve ever had to endure… high school. Our story begins with them at a cafe.

“Ugh! I wish we had our amulets. This is a total bummer.” Aria said. She had a sad expression on her face.

“It was our fault. That one girl with headphones on wasn’t under our control.” Adagio said, slamming her fist against a table. Someone from behind the serving counter looked at her with his eyes squinted. Adagio smiled awkwardly and waved. The worker went back to doing his duties. “Now I’m stuck having to luck out on getting away with things. When we had power, we could bend the rules as much as we liked.”

Sonata was asleep, unaware of anything that the other two were saying. Aria elbowed Sonata, causing her to scream and fall under the table, hitting her head on the edge on the way down. She then situated herself and rubbed her head. She was now wide awake.

“Stop falling asleep, Sonata.” Aria said.

“That was mean. Now that we don’t have those amulets, we NEED sleep.” Sonata said while holding one hand over her head.

“I’m stuck with two idiots.” Adagio said with her head down on the table.

“It’s not like we ASKED to be stuck here with you, either, Adagio.” Aria said.

“You’d both be lost without me.” Adagio said.

They stared at each other angrily for a while. Sonata got up and went to the bathroom while this went on. The two kept at it until Aria turned around and crossed her arms. Adagio smirked, knowing she had won. When Sonata got back, a man in a suit carrying a briefcase walked into the cafe and sat down two tables away. He saw the girls exchanging words back and forth. He then realized something.

“Hey, you three!” the man said. “Aren’t you supposed to be in school?”

The girls all looked at him, then went back to plotting. Suddenly, the man walked over to their table and placed a hand onto the table.

“Now, I can see you three have a problem.” he said kindly. “Whatever it is, I would like to help.”

“We don’t need help from you. Where we come from, we’re deities.” Adagio said angrily.

The man chuckled, “Are you now?

Adagio realized that she looked like a fool. She then had a sad expression on her face. The other two looked down in dismay. The man sensed these three were into something deep, and needed a helping hand to pull them out. He walked over to his table and opened his briefcase. He pulled out a small card and handed it over to Adagio.

“If you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING, give me a call.” he said. “My name is Big Bucks.”

Adagio thanked him and left, with Aria and Sonata trailing behind. When they found a small place in between two buildings, Adagio threw the card into a dumpster. Aria and Sonata had a shocked expression on their faces.

“Why would you go and do that for?” Aria said, puzzled.

“We don’t need anyone’s help. We’re fine on our own.” she answered. She slowly sat down against one of the walls, and had her head down in her knees. “We’ve gone this long without help, so why would anyone suddenly want to help us now?”

Aria and Sonata exchanged sad looks, and sat down on either side of Adagio. They all looked up into the sky, and it suddenly started raining.

“Come on, girls. Back into the cafe!” Adagio shouted. Once they got back, however, the cafe was closed. They looked around and found nothing but a phone booth to shield them from the rain. Once they got inside, they quickly slammed the door.

“I’m sorry, girls. I promise we will find somewhere to go.” Adagio said. The other two were surprised to see Adagio saying something nice to them for once. The other two hugged her from both sides. She quickly shoved them off.

“Hey, don’t go so sentimental on me. I still don’t like you two.” she said. Even though she said that, she still felt obligated to keep them from getting hurt. Adagio felt that losing her amulet caused her to become too emotional. The three sat there for almost thirty minutes before Big Bucks walked by and happened to notice them. He knocked on the phone booth door. Adagio reluctantly opened it.

“What do you want?” Adagio said, uneasily.

“Do you have anywhere to go?” he said with his arm outstretched.

“No.” Sonata answered.

“Sonata!” Adagio and Aria yelled.

“Hey, it’s fine. Come with me.” he told them while pulling out a second umbrella. “Two of you can share one and the other one can have this one.”

Aria and Sonata grabbed one and stood outside with it. Adagio almost didn’t follow, but she took it and walked out. The rain poured down onto the umbrella. She was glad not to be wet. She looked at Big Bucks who was now starting to get drenched. She offered it to him, but he shook his head in refusal. They walked on towards what turned out to be a mansion. The three girls were amazed at it’s size. It was as big as Canterlot High School. Big Bucks unlocked the front door and let the three in.

“It appears you don’t have any extra clothes on you at the moment, so I’ll get my maid to help you out with that.” he said. “Ms. Dust Magnet!”

The maid came down as fast as she could. She was surprised to see three young girls all wet from the rain.

“Oh, my poor dears! Come with me right this instance! We need to bathe you and give you some cleaner clothes.” she said “And you, sir, need to put on some dry clothes.”

As soon as they were clean, the were fitted with some casual attire. Their other clothes were being washed. While laundry was being done, they were sent to the living room. Aria sat down on a recliner while Sonata jumped face-down onto the couch. Adagio stood in the doorway, contemplating what would happen next.

Author's Note:

I want people to be aware that I am just writing this for fun. At this time, I am unsure of whether or not I will continue this. It's all up to two things: if I want to keep writing this, and if people enjoy it. Let me know in the comments of you want another chapter.
