This story is a sequel to A Shimmering Heartbreak


Adagio successfully fixed the relationships between Sunset and all of her friends, but she still has one more relationship to try and mend. After finally getting a day off, Adagio goes to talk to her friend, Apple Bloom, hoping to find forgiveness. Apple Bloom may be hesitant at first, but the young cowgirl gives her a chance to earn her forgiveness. The only question is 'will she take it?'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first short story I plan on writing before I get to the main sequel to A Shimmering Heartbreak~ I'm also trying something different since this story will switch between the viewpoint of Adagio and Apple Bloom fairly often~ A big thank you to my friend, H_phone001, for helping me come up with this idea! You can find his profile on AO3 here! https://archiveofourown.org/users/H_phone001
As always, enjoy the show!

This story's sequel is out now and it's titled The Curious Caper of the Missing Baker!

Chapter 19 of A Shimmering Heartbreak: Troubles Amid the Stars. Adagio promised to spend time with Apple Bloom, but she ended up breaking said promise. :twilightsmile:
P.S. Don't be sorry~ With how long my story is, it's understandable to forget some things~ I just hope you enjoy in general~

Thank you so much for this comment~ This is definitely the intent I had with that epilogue and I'm glad you enjoyed it! (P.S. I can't stop giggling at this.)

Jumping over the all-too familiar ditch, my mouth forms into a slight smile, remembering every time I’ve encountered this part of the scenery. It could definitely hurt if someone fell into it, making it a hazard to jump over, but Apple Bloom has dragged me over it countless times at this point. I think she told me she sprained her ankle once from falling in, but she disregarded the injury simply because she’s hurt herself so many times around this farm that it barely makes the top ten. I’ve never understood why the Apple Family seems proud of their injuries… It’s like they try to boast how much they’ve lived through when they could have easily died. There was one time Apple Bloom proudly showed me an inch-long scar on her shoulder, telling me she got it from falling off the roof close to the wagon. Not her bright red, child-size wagon either. The one they attached to the truck for hay rides back at the reunion. I mean, hell… She probably could have gotten hurt a lot more, so she’s lucky only getting a small scar, but her family talk about it as a fun story.

Sounds like the opposite way I feel about my scar. Not to mention it's story is completely different compared to AB. :fluttershysad:

Regardless, the ditch is something I’ve come to memorize at this point. It tells me that I’m close to the clubhouse where the Cutie Mark Crusaders conduct their operations. These operations usually consist of trying new things together to try and find their calling in the world. It’s not a half bad idea either with how society basically forces people to decide what they want to do from a young age. Sunset told me how her financial aid applications for college basically required her to have an established major from day one, making it seem like kids these days are given little chance to experiment with life. Or to make mistakes. Thankfully, Rich agreed to pay for Sunset’s college fees for the rest of her school days, so she won’t have to worry about that. I should tell her about that… In terms of Apple Bloom and her friends, I’m not sure what they will do for college.

Sunsets sure gonna be shocked when Adagio tells her. :unsuresweetie:

“Adagio, you said you’d do anything.” Crossing my arms, I pout slightly, still walking backward to keep my eye contact with her. “Don’t tell me you’re going to break this promise too.”

She's got a point Adagio. A promise is a promise. :applejackunsure:

“Well, how else are ya supposed to get it? It’s pretty much a battle between teams to take the sheet from one another. But if anyone gets caught with it, they’re disqualified, so it’s sorta a secret battle. So, all we hafta do is find the team with this sheet and find a way to steal it! Simple as that~” Before Adagio can respond to me, the line moves forward, making us walk to the sign-in table. “I’m Apple Bloom and this is my teammate, Adagio Dazzle~” The woman at the table seems to be a volunteer, so Adagio’s name thankfully doesn’t seem to ring any bells for her.

Well, they're screwed. :facehoof:

“Okay, you two~ Have fun!” she tells us before giving us the name tags, pointing towards the gymnasium. I’ve never understood why it’s called a gymnasium when it’s not like typical gyms. If anything, we use it as an auditorium more often, but yeah. Maybe my big sis can explain it when I get home.

I question myself the same thing from time to time too. :twilightblush:

“Cause truth be told, I kinda am too.” I can’t help but raise my eyebrow at the cowgirl, a confused feeling coming over me quickly. She’s nervous? I thought she’s done this competition before. Shouldn’t she be used to this? Besides, it’s not like she has people who hate her here.

That's where your wrong Adagio as there is 2 people who aren't firends with AB. :fluttershysad:

“Well, Luna did say it wouldn’t be too easy, so I assume this is to make it just a teensy bit more fair?” Luna…? Wait… Paper. Answers. Hints. And Luna most of all…? No. It can’t be. Right…? Are they the Moon Knights…?

Judging from what we heard, yes. :applejackunsure:

“I thought ya were trying to save up money for a new place.” If I remember correctly, Adagio’s job doesn’t really pay her that much. She said she had to save for like two months before she got a leather jacket for Sunset. She had to have a lot of help to buy the motorcycle for Sunset’s birthday and she told me on our way over here that they have been wanting to get a new place. That would surely take a LOT of saving.

Interesting. :rainbowderp::rainbowhuh:

“I am, but let’s just say I know a little trick with these kinds of machines.” Without explaining any further, Adagio looks all around us before pushing all the buttons of the machine, leanin’ her body against it. A quiet beep repeats every couple of seconds. Adagio’s mouth counts to five without actually saying anything before giving a kick to the bottom of the machine. Letting go of the buttons, she puts in the code for a grape soda, the machine quickly giving her the item she wanted.

:pinkiegasp:

https://m.

“Back when I had pretty much no money, I learned that little trick to kind of do a system restart. It basically makes the machine think you’re doing a practice run.” Clicking the code for grape soda again, the machine doesn’t give her another soda. Instead, it asks her for some form of payment. “And then it promptly returns to its normal programming, meaning no one will know you did this. The catch? It only works with vending machines that serve drinks made by the Crystal Empire Corporation.” Pointing to a logo at the bottom right of the machine, Adagio gives me a smirk, taking a sip from her drink. “I have yet to figure out a ‘system restart’ for their machines that serve snacks, so I can’t get us anything to eat. Just don’t let anyone catch you doing it because you can be fined for ‘stealing.’” Adagio is… full of surprises. Every time I think I have her figured out, she has another trick up her sleeve or something else she hasn’t told me yet. That’s not the reason I’m her friend, but it sure is interesting to see the tricks she’s learned.

Hopefully she doesn't get caught doing it again in the future. :unsuresweetie:

“I know that! But someone has to be thankful if it does become our reality. You never know.” Walking past me, Adagio gets closer to the entrance of the maze, laughin’ at me.

I find that very slim. :duck:

“Then we will have to get it.” Brushing a strand of hair out of her face, Adagio’s expression suddenly becomes a lot more serious, staring at the entrance. Is she looking forward to fighting with them? “I’ll take Dash. You follow Scootaloo.”

Let's hope not. :fluttershysad:

“So, are you trying to piggyback off of me for answers?” Rainbow Dash says in a loud tone to make sure I can hear her. She’s only about five steps in front of me, but I suppose she wants to make herself heard. “I know I’m pretty smart, but do you really think I would know the answers to the puzzles in this maze?” That’s the problem, Dash. I don’t think you know the answers. I’m sure you know them.

She knows! :twilightoops:

“God, I forgot you’re that old. Are you sure it’s legal for you to buck Sunset?” Realizing her error, Rainbow Dash slaps her face with an angry grimace. “I mean, fuck. AJ tries to never swear to an ungodly standard. How many times have you two fucked anyway?” I can’t help but raise my eyebrow at Rainbow Dash’s question, my mind wondering whether I should honor that question with an answer.

Not the time or place to ask Dash! :twilightangry2:

“Uh… Y-yeah, I knew that. But um… I was thinking the riddle is also somehow about… rest. ‘Those in need’ sounds like people who need to rest.” Rest, huh…? I bet that was the hint she was given for this puzzle. Rest. People who need to rest. Night time. The riddle says we can hear it. What would we primarily hear when we’re about to sleep? The wind? Unless it’s referring to infants, then it-

Uh huh... :ajbemused:

Turning around, I run down the hallway and put my phone back in my pocket, quickly making my way towards the back of the school. Thankfully, the only sound I hear is the sound of my own footsteps, so that means I’m safe for now. As long as Dash and Scoots don’t realize that I’m going to do my best to complete the rest of the activities, they should keep their attention on Adagio. Opening the back door, I see all the people outside with the major attraction being the bonfire. Bingo. All I have to do is find the moderator for the bonfire and I’ll be golden. Well, not literally. If I was literally gold, I’d be a lot heavier than I am right now. Would I be stronger? Maybe I would be stronger than Big Mac.

Not the time to think AB! :duck:

“Oh, yes, she did. But when we got here, the moderator we asked to get the gold piece from fell ill and… well, I decided to help out. Besides, it would be a sin to not show off this fabulous coat all the moderators have~” Rarity gives me a slight spin, showing off the school coat with a smile. “I told Sweetie Belle to finish our tasks without me or until someone relieves me from this position. Though, I am contemplating taking this coat and adding some more accessories to it. Oh, do you need a piece too, darling?” Rarity asks me, suddenly remembering what she is doing here in the first place.

She's so gonna be in trouble if she keeps that jacket without permission. :ajbemused:

“No, it’s fine. Really. I probably needed to face this place again someday, right? Better now than later.” A small smile comes to her face as she swallows another bite of her cake, looking at me with a wink. “It’s just easier to handle when I have something like this, huh?” Nodding at Adagio’s words, both of us look at the empty stage for a moment, the wind being the only thing we can hear. I’m glad that Adagio is confronting her fears~ She’s a good friend and it’s inspiring to see her confidence come back to her.

Good for her. :twilightsmile:
