So, this is what the dazzlings are doing after Rainbow Rocks. First chapter, Sonata!

Sonata was running. She didn't know where, but her main goal was to get away from there as fast as possible. She wanted to get away from them. Far away. She was crying. She didn't know where to go. Soon, her legs tired and she rested in a nearby alleyway. She had gotten away from them. She was safe, but she didn't have a home or any place to stay. She curled into a fetal position and wept. She heard footsteps coming near, and then a hand landed on her back in a soothing way. She looked up to find the face of Sunset Shimmer. Sonata just cried harder. Sunset wrapped her arms around her apologetically. "I'm sorry," she said. "I'm so sorry."

Sonata dried her tears and looked at Sunset Shimmer. "What are you doing here?"

"I just want to help. I take it you got separated from the rest of the dazzlings?"

"Yeah." She remembered the big fight between the dazzlings. She remembered the awful things they said to each other, and when Adagio and Aria stormed out of the abandoned building they lived in, to never come back. She cried on Sunset Shimmer's shoulder.

Sunset rubbed her back and soothed her. "Tell you what, how about we go to my house and I make some tacos, and you can tell me what happened. Does that sound good?"

Sonata sniffled and nodded and they both stood up and started walking to Sunset Shimmer's house. When they got there, Sunset put frozen tacos in the oven to heat up. They both sat down at a small table. "So, how did you end up on the street?"

Sonata took a deep breath and started telling the story.

It started about ten days ago, when the dazzlings had a big fight on what they should do. Adagio wanted to get away from the other two. "I can't live with you two idiots! You never listen to my orders, you absolutely suck at everything and aren't at all useful!"

"But we're a trio! We were made to be together! You can't just abandon us!" Sonata replied.

"Adagio's right. I'm out!" said Aria, and she stomped out the door.

Adagio followed suit, but she walked in the opposite direction of Aria. Sonata just stood there, with no friends, no family. Slowly, she began to walk out the door and down the street. A day or two later, she found a group of boys that kind of just took her in and gave her a place to stay, food to eat, and a bed to sleep in. She had felt safe, but after about a week some of the boys creeped up on her in the night. They started taunting her, backing her into a wall. That's when they attacked. They started groping her, still taunting. She kicked at them, but they were stronger. She tried to run, but they pinned her down. She was screaming and crying, now. She kicked hard at the nearest attacker, making him fall over. She hadn't had that much strength in a long time. But with all of the rest of them ganging up on her, she was no match. She tried to escape, tried to run, but they were holding her down with much strength, now. Once she thought this would be the end of the fight, that she would have to surrender, a new boy showed up behind the others. He had on a brown vest, a long-sleeved yellow shirt under that, a single fang among his other teeth, and his eyes were yellow with red irises. "Hey, leave her alone," he said.

The other boys sneered at him. "Oh, yeah? What'll you do to us Dipcord?"

He reacted immediately, making cotton candy clouds appear above the boys. They started to rain chocolate milk down on them, and they let go of Sonata. "Run!" he said.

She compelled, running, not knowing where, just running.

Sunset Shimmer listened intently until the end of her story. "That's horrible!"

Sonata nodded. "Now, I don't have anyone. No home. Nothing." She began to weep.

Sunset Shimmer put an arm around her. "You have me."

Sonata looked up at her. "For realsies? After all I've done?"

"Remember that you're talking to the girl who turned into a raging she-demon at the Fall Formal. Still can't live that down."

Sonata smiled. "I guess we aren't so different after all." She stood up and offered her pinkie to her. "Friendsies?"

Sunset interlocked her pinkie with Sonata's. "Friendsies."

They both enjoyed the tacos and Sonata slept on the couch for the night, as Sunset wrote another entry to Twilight Sparkle.

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

I have done something extraordinary. I have befriended an old enemy of yours and mine. Sonata Dusk. She used to be part of the Dazzlings, but now that they are separated, she has no place to go except for me. I have given her friendship, and I feel better about myself. Everyone deserves friends, especially in a time of need, and sometimes, the only solution to a problem is a good friend. Sonata is staying with me, now, and I hope she can forgive herself for what she and the Dazzlings have done. I worry for her. I had to forgive myself after the Fall Formal, and I made some decisions that I regret now. But now she has a friend to guide her through this tough time for her. I'll protect her.

Your friend, Sunset Shimmer

So, that's what I would like to have happened to Sonata after Rainbow Rocks! I must say that I don't particularly ship these two as a couple, mostly because I don't really feel like shipping Sunset Shimmer with anyone at the moment. If you do, then, by all means, take this as a romance chapter. If you don't, then don't. I don't really care. Anyway, next chapter will be what happened with Aria. Please favorite, follow, share, and review! :D
