“So Sonata mentioned…” Adagio looked at her nails as she took a seat next to Sunset. “You might be interested in helping restore her gem?”
Aria took a seat on the other side of Sunset. The sisters sized Sunset up.
“Is that true, Sunny?” Aria asked.
They seemed to be testing her honesty here.
Sunset sat slouched on the sofa in the home of the Sirens. Originally, she had come to take Sonata out for a night on the town, but now that was put on hold as the two Sirens pulled her aside and fired off their question. So, Sunset would answer.
“Yes.” She said bluntly. “I did. But at the moment, I’m only feeling inclined to help Sonata, and maybe Adagio. Still on the fence about you though, Aria.”
“Yours is even cooler than mine!” Demencia admitted. A big deal for one so boastful. But it was true in her eyes. “May I touch the Shimmery mane?” she asked, batting her eyes mostly just to be cute. She knew she had permission and usually she would just go and bury her face in someone’s hair without their consent. But Shimmer was special.
Shimmer let out a small giggle as she saw Demencia bat her eyes at her. Holy fuck that was cute. How could she say no to that?
“Mmm, you may… but only for a kiss.~” she said, tapping her lips with a fingertip and a grin.
From everything Autumn knew about sleep and people, that was bad. Very bad. Sunset was probably hallucinating at this point.
“Sunset, we’ve got to get you to sleep lickety-split then. Why don’t you lie down and I’ll make you some hot cocoa?”
“At this point, I don’t even care. I just gotta find a way to get that giant penguin lookin thing away from me…” Sunset said, seeming to squint her eyes at something in the distance.
“Oh… lookie what we got here!” She said, sound almost like she was drunk. “Tha’ silly penguin is back again… is too damn hot for a penguin to be just… walkin’ around here! I gotta send ‘em back to the south pole!”
“Look at her… thinkin’ she can spread so much happiness ‘n shit! Well guess what Twiggy Sparks?! I’mma spread so much happiness around people are gonna barf rainbows and shit kittens!”
“Oh. It’s you.” Shimmer said with a grimace. “I thought you were dead.”
“Sunset?”
Midnight remembered the unicorn from her time as Twilight, back when she had needed to traverse the human world for that little crown thing. Then she had needed to return because of sirens. Why did she think she was dead.
The Queen shook her head. “No, not dead. Just stopped writing because, well…”
She looked herself over. Then cleared her throat. “Equestria’s been going through some changes. Anyways!”
“How have you been? Why are you all demonic again?”
“Long story. I… well, Sunset tried to write to you about it. Never heard back.” She said with a sigh as she sat down where she stood, looking over Midnight. “You look good. What’s with the sexy dominatrix looking getup?”
SEND ME HAVE YOU EVER’S. MY MUSE HAS TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION TRUTHFULLY. “Sure! Want some juicy details?” she crooked her finger at Shimmer to beckon her closer.
Shimmer leaned in closer, a grin on her face as she said, “Oh, this is gonna good…"
