“Oh.” Sonata froze and looked at the rose. She took it from Sunset’s hand and twirled it around. “Ouch!” 

She had pricked her finger on one of the thorns. Without thinking much of it she put her hurt finger to her mouth. But she smiled at the other woman and giggled. “’hank you!” she told her. “t’s ‘eatiful!”

“Well, it is a magical artifact. I doubt super glue would hold it together. But… I… I’ll help you.” Sunset said, looking up at Sonata and giving her a small smile. “It’s the least I could do for what I did to Aria.”

Sonata frowned and took a seat down next to Sunset. She looked her in the eyes. Perhaps it would be clearer how much older she was than Sunset if she looked into her eyes. So she didn’t look too long. Her pain lingered in her gaze.

“You want to help?” she asked. “Sunset…” she rubbed her arm. “We’re monsters, you know that, right? That’s…that’s not something we can change. I will always need to sing to feed off of people’s energy. When you broke my gem…it was like…you took away most of my fangs. You de-fanged me. I’m still a monster though. If you help me get my gem back you’ll be giving me my fangs back. And I can’t lie to you about that. I can’t say if you do this I’ll be a changed person. Because I am what I am. Are you sure you want to do this, Sunset?”

“Yes.” She said, looking at the siren with a smile. “I’ll be straight with you: losing my friends… It changed me. Made me think about who I could really trust and who I could call my friends. When I think about my old ones… If it hadn’t been for Princess Twilight asking them to watch over me, they would’ve left me in the dirt and moves on with their lives. Hell, that’s what they’ve done already.

But now… Fuck them. If they didn’t wanna believe me, that’s their problem. Besides… I think you all have changed. Well, at least you have. I’m not too sure about Aria or Adagio. But… I don’t think you’ll try and take over the world again. And even if you did, well… I don’t think I’d really try to stop you.”

She took a deep breath and pulled out a carton of cigarettes from he pocket, taking the last one in the box and using her fingertip to light it. She gave Sonata a look as she took a drag, saying “These thing will probably kill me, but… Eh. Anyways…”
