A Dazzling New Life: High School Edition

by Joshua the Dragonslayer

14. A Dazzling Homecoming

It was the next day and the Dazzlings were at soccer practice, they and their teammates were practicing their hearts out. For the first time in years, Canterlot had made the playoffs and team Canterlot didn't want to just make the playoffs and then lose in the first round. As the girls were training Rainbow blew her whistle making the girls stop their training and head over to her.

"Good work, girls. You've worked real hard all day and you're showing lots of potential to be a contender to win the championship this year!" The girls smiled upon hearing this from their coach. "Now tomorrow is Homecoming and as a way of saying a good job for such an amazing season, I've decided to give you girls the day off tomorrow. Go enjoy your first-ever Homecoming, you're Freshman so it's good for you guys to have some fun. No practice tomorrow, tomorrow night is all about having a complete blast at Homecoming, and that's an order!"

Rainbow's smile made the girls smile as well. They had been looking forward to Homecoming since it was announced and they had hoped that Rainbow would give them the day off and thankfully she did, which made the girls happy. They had all worked so hard through the whole season and they even made the playoffs! Even though they never told Rainbow, all the girls had to admit they felt as though they deserved a break for everything they had done.

"Yes, Coach!" The girls cheered. Tomorrow night would be a night for them to have fun and out of all of them, the Dazzlings were the most excited. They were going to have a blast at Homecoming and they couldn't wait!

---

It was the night of Homecoming and the girls were all ready for the event. The girls had just finished doing their hair and makeup thanks to Sunset and they had gotten their dresses made thanks to Rarity. Adagio wore a nicely made purple dress with a diamond shape pattern that went around it. Sonata wore a beautiful pink dress that had little stars on it. And as for Aria she just wore a regular sleeveless grass green dress. They were excited the whole drive from their house to the school, and once they got to the school they got even more excited. The school had been decorated for the event, courtesy of Pinkie Pie, the party master. The Dazzlings excited their mom's car and walked into the school and to the gym where the festivities were being held.

When the girls entered the gym they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The whole gym had been decked out with decorations, tables with food and drinks, a big disco ball that lit up the room, and a stage where music was playing by, surprisingly the Rainbooms. The Dazzlings smiled at one another knowing that tonight would be a night to remember as they then went their own ways to enjoy the night.

Aria had decided to make her way to the dance floor, she was wanting to show off her dance moves. As she made her way to the dance floor, she had seen Dawnshine from afar in her red dress. Aria could only hope that there wouldn't be any problems with her tonight, she wanted to have a good time at Homecoming and not worry about Dawnshine. Once Aria found a spot on the dance floor she started getting down and start dancing to her content. However, she had only danced for a while until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Bael in his nice black suit with a smile on his face.

"Bael! It's so good seeing you!" Aria smiled as the two of them smiled.

Bael smiled himself as he hugged Aria back. "It's good seeing you too, I see that you're dancing, care to have a partner?" Aria looked at Bael in surprise as he put out his hand.

Aria slightly blushed as she took his hand. "I'll gladly have this dance with you." The two then began to dance, Aria's hands around Bael's neck and Bael's hands near Aria's waist. The two of them started happily dancing with one another enjoying the music and being in each other's presence.

Dawnshine who was near one of the food tables watched from across the room as she glared at Aria and Bael dancing with one another. "So she somehow was able to find someone to dance with. I wonder how much money she had to give the poor guy to dance with her. But then again he isn't much himself so I'm not surprised two idiots are dancing with one another." Dawnshine laughed to herself as she took a sip of her drink. She couldn't wait to see Bael leave Aria all by herself with no one to dance with.

Sonata, who was nearby as she wanted to see what kinds of food they had, heard what Dawnshine had said. As Sonata ate one of the many cupcakes she had, she could only sigh at Dawnshine. 'Why is it that you hate me and my sisters, Dawnshine? Why can't we all just be friends? We already had something like this happen before, and I never wanted it to happen again, but now things are happening all over again just like with Gabby...' Sonata sadly looked down at the ground, not even wanting to finish her cupcake.

"What's got you so blue?" Sonata turned around and immediately smiled when she saw who it was.

"Arctic!" Sonata rushed over and hugged him making the poor boy lose his breath for a second. "It's been so long, I'm so glad to see you again." Sonata then thought about what he had said. "Wait, blue? That's the color of my skin?"

Arctic couldn't help but laugh and roll his eyes at Sonata's comment. "Never change Sonata." Sonata was confused by that but smiled nonetheless. "I'm sorry we haven't been able to talk for so long. I've been so busy with school since the very start, being a junior is pretty tough, I still can't believe that I'm halfway done with high school."

Even though Sonata had tried to pay attention, she couldn't help but look at Arctic and see how cute he was in his blue tuxedo. Sonata blushed but then snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. It's just a shame, we use to have so much fun back when you use to be our trainer for our Beyblade adventures. And, we would be lying if we said that we didn't miss your presence."

Arctic smiled at Sonata. "Yeah, I promise whenever I get a break I'll be glad to hang out with you and your sisters again." Sonata smiled and nodded her head, that was all that she wanted to hear. "But now that we're here, why don't we hang out right now." Arctic then looked at the dance floor and then back at Sonata. "Care to have a dance?" Arctic put his hand out as he gave Sonata a to-die-for smile. Sonata's face flushed bright red as she smiled and nodded as she then took Arctic's hand, as he walked Sonata over to the dance floor.

The two then started dancing happily to the music. Sonata listened to the music, she remembered the song, it was a song that she had heard Sunset and her friends sing one time. Shine Like Rainbows, was one of Sonata's favorite songs when she was younger. She remembered whenever she was sad or down, Sunset would start singing the song and it would immediately make Sonata feel better. Hearing that song along with dancing with Arctic, it was a magical moment for her as she got closer to Arctic putting her head on his chest. She smelt his nice cologne as she embraced the whole situation, she had a bright smile, even though the night was young she knew it was going to be a night that she would never forget.

Adagio happily watched as her other two sisters danced with the people they liked. Being that they were sisters they told each other everything and with Adagio being the oldest she knew who and what her sisters liked. Seeing their sisters so happy dancing with Bael and Arctic made Adagio happy. She had been talking with some of their friends, as she had seen all of them at Homecoming. She had run into Dean, Derek, and Leon who all wore nice black tuxedos. They talked for a while until they went over to the food table because they were hungry, which made her laugh seeing them rush over to the table fighting with one another to see who could get there first almost making the other guys fall. Adagio had then walked over to the girls to talk with them and it was fun talking with them all, just girls talking about all the drama and boys they liked. Joy, Frizzle, Phoebe, Gabby, Arza, and Athena all looked amazing in their dresses. They had been talking for the past few minutes until their dates came and brought them over to dance. Phoebe and Leon, Frizzle and Valex, Athena, and Derek, and even Joy and Dean, they all went off and started dancing with one another. All except for Adagio... and now Adagio felt alone.

She watched as all her friends were on the dance floor dancing with each other... all but her. Whenever one of her friends or sisters would look over in her direction she would give them a fake smile and wave at them. She sighed as she took a sip of her fruit punch, she wanted to dance with someone too, but she didn't have a date to dance with. But then again neither did her sisters but somehow they had found someone. Adagio decided to look away from the dance floor to stop making herself sad as she looked around the gym to look at everything else and what everyone else besides her friends was doing. As she looked to the left she saw Venus and Dawnshine talking with one another. That immediately made her peak up, what was Dawnshine doing talking to the guy she liked? It wasn't that she was possessive of him, she wasn't like that, it was just that she had never seen Dawnshine talk to Venus before and Venus never brought her up when the two of them would talk. Did they have a class together? Adagio didn't know, but she wasn't going to ask.

Adagio was too far away to listen in on their conversation so she could only watch as Dawnshine tried to put her arms around Venus which made her almost stand up. However, Venus took a step back to make sure she didn't do that. Dawnshine then got mad and started saying things that Adagio couldn't hear, but Venus seemed to have enough as he then walked away from her and over to where Adagio was. Venus and Adagio then made eye contact as he smiled and walked over to her and sat down next to her.

The two smiled at each other. "Hey, I... uh, saw what happened over there. Everything okay?" Adagio looked over at Venus who just sighed as he ruffled with his hair.

"She wanted to dance with me but I wanted to dance with someone else. She then tried forcing herself on me but when I told her no she started throwing a fit so I left." Adagio could only look in surprise, she couldn't believe Dawnshine would do something like that.

Adagio then looked over at the dance floor sadly. 'He said he wanted to dance with someone else, so he already has someone in mind.' Venus looked over at Adagio and saw that she was said, he looked and saw that she was looking at the dancing floor.

"Yeah... so, I was wondering if you wanted to dance with me?" Adagio looked over at Venus in surprise. She looked at him and couldn't help but smile and blush.

"I'd love to dance with you." So, with a pink blush on her cheeks, the two made their way over to the dance floor and started dancing with one another.

Dawnshine watched from across the room as Adagio and Venus made their way onto the dance floor and start dancing with one another. Seeing that infuriated Dawnshine as she then crushed her drink cup. 'Why is he dancing with her and not me? Why must those pestering Dazzlings continue to get in the way of everything? They're ruining everything! He was supposed to dance with me and she ruined that!'

The Dazzlings happily enjoyed the rest of their night as they danced with the guy they liked. It was a magical way to continue their night as they danced, talked with their friends, and had the best Homecoming they could've ever asked for. Later in the night Celestia and Luna had announced that the Homecoming king and queen were going to be chosen shortly. Everyone went quiet as Celestia and Luna walked up to the stage and took out a piece of paper in an envelope. Celestia looked at the paper and smiled as she then spoke into the mic. "Our Homecoming king and queen this year is... Aria and Arctic!" The crowd cheered as Aria and Arctic happily walked up on stage and took their crowns and had their picture token.

Dawnshine stared at Aria with malicious intent. 'She stole my position! I was supposed to be the Homecoming queen, but she ruined everything!' Dawnshine growled as she watched Aria walk over to her sisters as the two of them smiled for her and the three hugged. She couldn't take it anymore and Dawnshine turned around and left the gym. 'There's no reason to be here anymore, it's not like my night was good, to begin with.' Dawnshine then turned and saw as they had already posted Aria's picture on the wall. 'I'll get my revenge, just you watch! You will not be forgiven for what you've done, you and this school will bow to me!'

As she left the girls continued having the time of their life. When it came to the end of the night and it Homecoming had come to an end, the Dazzlings couldn't help but be a little sad. The night had been a fun one and they didn't want it to end, but unfortunately, all things had to end. When Sunset came the girls said goodbye to their friends and got into their mom's car. As they told their mom about their night and how amazing it was they couldn't help but all agree.

It was a Dazzling Homecoming.

I never went to homecoming? Anyone knows what it feels like?

Dawnshine stared at Aria with malicious intent. 'She stole my position! I was suppose to be the Homecoming queen, but she ruined everything!' Dawnshine growled as she watched Aria walk over to her sisters as the two of them smiled for her and the three hugged. She couldn't take it anymore and Dawnshine turned around and left the gym.

Sunset needs to have a talk with her because it would be like looking in the mirror.

I agree. Dawnshine would remind Sunset of herself in her early days.
