Chapter 19: The Dazzlings' First Friendships

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Adagio was with Glass Heart and Cold Wind over on the little climbing frame, laughing as they made their way around the place. She was quite surprised to notice Glass Heart mainly staying on the bottom level of the frame and went down to try and talk to her.

"Glass, are you alright?" Adagio said, walking over to the fragile-looking girl with a little look of concern on her face. "You're not playing as much as we are."

"Oh... Hello there, Uhh... Adagio is it?" She said, looking a little terrified as she approached her. "Is my sadness bothering you? I'm sorry if it is."

"Oh, uh no. It's fine. No really." Adagio said, looking a little surprised that Glass Heart was actually miserable during such a happy time like this. "It's not a problem. Promise."

"That's good." She said, still unsure whether or not to show a little happiness.

"Glass, can you tell me exactly why you're sad?" Adagio asked, curious to know what the root cause of the problem was. "You're probably the only kid in here who's sad during Playtime."

"Oh, well... I recently moved here from the Phillyppines, where I had lots of friends." Glass Heart said, opening up to Adagio with her deepest thoughts. "I guess I just feel a little lonely here without all my old friends..."

"Aww... Don't be sad about it, Glass." Adagio said, putting a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down and clear her of her sorrow. "We all get lonely without the people we know and love. Even me, Aria and Sonny are quite lonely without Mommy here to watch us."

"What are you trying to say, Adagio?" Glass Heart asked, showing a little curiosity instead of sorrow now.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that people may seem far away now and again, like if you move away from where you lived or when your parents drop you off, but that shouldn't let it ruin everything you do." Adagio said, showing some more confidence in her words. "Don't let worries control your life, just go with the flow and you'll actually start enjoying Playtime."

"Well... Okay then, I'll try." She said, showing a tiny bit of happiness. Adagio seemed to be quite truthful in her words and it made Glass Heart seem quite soothed. "I'll try for you, Adagio."

"Come on, you two!" Cold Wind said, cutting Adagio and Glass Heart's conversation short. "Playtime won't last forever, let's make the most of it!"

"Hehe, alright, Cold!" Both Adagio and Glass Heart said together, sharing a little giggle as they looked at each other afterwards. They grinned and ran back into the climbing frame with smiles on their faces.

The time they spent after that little talk was quite nice for them. Glass had followed on Adagio's words and was now showing much more happiness as she chased Adagio and Cold Wind through the structure, laughing all the way.

Glass Heart enjoyed this the most of all, playing with new friends instead of worrying about her old ones. She eventually flopped onto her bottom and onto her back, laughing happily like the kid she was meant to be. Adagio smiled as she saw how happy Glass Heart looked to her. She'd not only helped her get over her anxiety, but she'd also made her the kid she had to be.

"Hehe, you were right, Adagio. This fun stuff is much better!" She said, throwing her arms out to the side to show her how much she liked it visually.

"Good to know you like it." She smiled and picked Glass Heart up off her back and back onto her feet again. "It was a pleasure to help you, Glass."

"You know, you're a really good friend. Adagio." She said, looking at Adagio with a look of sisterhood on her face. "I mean, if you wanna be my friend, that is..."

"Oh, uhh... Yeah, it's just that..." Adagio looked a little sheepish at that remark. This was her first time making any friends, so she was quite normal to be a little nervous about it.

"What is it, Adagio?" Glass Heart said, wondering why Adagio was stalling to accept this friend request.

"Well, it's just that... I never really had a friend before." She said, exposing her own nervous feelings now. "All I've ever had in this world are Ari, Sonny, Mommy and her Aunties."

"Aww... Now you kinda sound a little like me." Glass Heart said, putting a hand on Adagio's shoulder and helping her feel a little more at ease. "Don't be nervous, Adagio. After all, you helped me get over my anxiety, so it's only fair that I help you return the favour." She offered a hand to Adagio.

Adagio looked at Glass Heart for a while and then smiled. "Thanks, Glass." She said, taking her hand and shaking it acceptingly.

"You're welcome, Adagio." She said, smiling once more as Adagio shook hands with her.

"Please, call me Dagi." She said, looking quite happy now that she'd made a friend. Adagio had never had a friend in her past life and was only just experiencing friendship right now. It truly felt wonderful to her to feel such a wonderful feeling, it made her feel like she would no longer be alone in this world.

"OK, Dagi." Glass Heart smiled once she'd taken in the nickname that Adagio had handed to her.

"What about you, Cold? Do you wanna be our friend?" Adagio turned to Cold Wind with a little smile on her face once she'd finished her little talk with Glass Heart.

"Sure, why not?" He said, shaking Adagio's hand as well. "I think the three of us are gonna get along just fine, Dagi."

"Hehe, thank you, Cold." Glass Heart smiled once their friendships had been made. "Now then, let's play. Together, as friends." She put her hand out.

"Together, as friends..." Cold Wind said, putting his hand on top of Glass Heart's and waited for Adagio to respond.

"Together, as friends..." Adagio put her hand on top of both of their hands and looked at the two of them with a little smile. It had felt like she'd just gained a new brother and sister. She felt quite content with this feeling as the three of them started to play on the climbing frame once again.

Adagio, Glass Heart and Cold Wind were back to playing regularly, their many games of Hide-and-seek and Tag never failing to amuse them. They shared laughs together as they began running around like the children they really were. And for Adagio, it felt like a new, much better era had begun for her...


Aria, on the other hand was still waiting for Ancient Myth and Wonderful World to finish their turns on the rocking horses. She'd tried everything to keep herself entertained until that time, whether it was trying to imitate a rocking motion herself, to rolling around on the floor or even just imagining things.

She just now noticed that Ms. Emerald was supervising Ancient Myth and Wonderful World, making sure they didn't fly off or take too long on the rocking horses. Eventually, Aria shared looks with Fiery Ambition and Party Animal and they all shared the same feeling of boredom.

"How long do we have to wait?" Aria said, sparking up a conversation with the two others who were patiently waiting their turns.

"Well, Ms. Emerald said that we each get two minutes on these things, so I'd say not long from now." Party Animal said, smiling as she knew that she didn't have to wait long. "At least that's what she's saying to Ancient and Wonderful."

"So, what's on your mind... Aria is it?" Fiery Ambition decided to ask, not being able to cope with the wait any longer as he finally began to talk to Aria to pass the time.

"Yeah, that's my name." She said, looking a little surprised that someone actually continued the conversation with her. "You're, uhh... Fiery Ambition, right?"

"Yeah, that's me." He said, smiling that Aria actually remembered his name for once. "Nice to meet you, Aria."

"Nice to meet you too, Fiery." She said, able to get at least some time burned as the two of them began to talk. "So, how long have you been in the class?"

"Oh, not long." He said, lying on his back and using his fingers to count the days he'd been here. "It must have been sometime last month when I joined the Cubs."

"Oh, really?" She asked, pretty interested in this little chat they were now having. "It's only my first day here."

"Yeah, Silver Lining said that when we did the 'Hello Time' together." Fiery Ambition said, smiling as he reminded Aria of this fact. "It's a pleasure to have you, Adagio and Sonata in the Cubs with all of us."

"A pleasure to be here." She said, smiling once she'd returned the greeting to Fiery Ambition. "I hope we can have lots of fun together."

"Alright then, time's up, you two." Ms. Emerald said as she picked Ancient Myth and Wonderful World off of the rocking horses and looked over at Fiery Ambition, Party Animal and Aria. "Now then, who wants to go next?"

"Well, who do you think should go?" Aria said, bringing both Party Animal and Fiery Ambition into a little group huddle so that they could decide who would go on the rocking horses next out of the three of them.

"Well, I think that you and Party Animal should go first." Fiery Ambition said, giving off a little smile as he spoke. "You could spend some quality time with Party here, having some girl-time as you call it."

"Aww... That's sweet of you, Fiery." Party Animal said, shooting her own little smile right back at him. "But I can't accept that offer. I don't really wanna leave you out of your fun."

"Well, then. I guess I'll give up my place." Aria said, finally coming to a decision at this moment in time.

"Really?" Both Party Animal and Fiery Ambition said together with a look of surprise on their faces. They'd never expected Aria, one of the new kids to give up her chance to the two of them.

"Yeah, you deserve it. You've probably done this many times together, and I wouldn't want to take up more of your time, after all." She said, shooting a little smile at the two of them. "Go on, walk over to Ms. Emerald. You deserve this more than I do..."

"Thanks, Aria." They both said, toddling over to Ms. Emerald and letting themselves be picked up by her. Once they were both in her arms, they were gently placed onto the rocking horses and began to use their momentum to rock the horses and get the most fun out of them as possible.

As they went, they looked back at Aria, who was quite content with talking to Ancient Myth and Wonderful World once they'd made it over to her. They both knew that deep down, Aria was a kind and sweet little girl, who would be willing to give up her free spot to others, if she was new to this sort of thing...

Once their time was up, they came off the horses, still laughing at all the fun they'd been having together. Once they made it back to Aria, she stopped talking with Ancient Myth and Wonderful World and now turned her attention to Fiery Ambition and Party Animal.

"Aria, thank you so much!" Party Animal said, pulling Aria back onto her feet and shaking her hand. "You allowed us to have some fun, at the cost of your own space."

"That was such a kind thing to do, Aria." Fiery Ambition said, shaking her had once Party Animal had had her fill of hand-shaking. "If you ever wanna be our friends, you're welcome to accept us..."

"Well..." She said, looking over to both Ancient Myth and Wonderful World, who were both nodding at her, prompting her to accept. "OK. I did wanna make some friends here, anyways." She grew her smile once again.

"So, we're friends now?" Fiery Ambition asked once Aria made her way over to the rocking horse to take her turn at long last.

"Sure." She said, letting Ms. Emerald pick her up and put her down on the rocking horse, so she could finally have some fun during her Playtime.

Aria used her momentum to push herself backwards and forwards, tilting the horse in that direction. She also held on tightly to the reins so that she didn't fall off. She smiled after a few seconds of rocking and looked over at Fiery Ambition and Party Animal once again.

She was feeling something she'd never felt in eons. True friendship. The kind act she did for Fiery Ambition and Party Animal made her feel warm and loved inside and she liked this feeling quite well. If this was what it was to have friends, then Aria was looking forward to making lots more friends as she would get older...


Sonata was with Speed Freak, Joyous Occasion and Wishing Well over by the slides. They were all having fun climbing up the ladders and quickly zipping down the slopes on their bottoms, laughing once they landed on the cushion-like padding once again.

It was fun for the most part, until Sonata noticed something she'd never have guessed she'd even seen. After a while, Wishing Well and Speed Freak looked a little bored once they'd landed again. Instead of going back up for another slide down, Sonata moved over to the two of them, in an attempt to find out what was wrong with them and hopefully rectify their problem.

"What's wrong, you two?" Sonata asked once she'd finally arrived at the rather bored-looking Speed Freak and Wishing Well. "Why aren't you smiling anymore?"

"I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually BORED of sliding like this." Speed Freak said, showing the root cause of his problem to Sonata straight away.

"Aww... Why's that?" She said, holding up both of her hands for added body language.

"Well, it's just the same thing over and over again." Wishing Well said, looking a little bored herself. "We just climb up the stairs and slide back down the slope, that's it. And we've been doing this for at least two months now and have just finally gotten bored of it."

"For realises?" Sonata asked, wondering how kids of her age could possibly get bored from having fun. "But this is FUN, how could you possibly get bored from playing like this kids you really are?"

"I dunno. It just sorta happened, to be honest." Speed Freak said, shrugging his shoulders, clearly unable to pinpoint how he could possibly have gotten bored of sliding down the slides with the others.

"Well, now what do we do?" Wishing Well said, sitting down and putting her hand on her cheek in boredom. "I mean, we do like the slides and have gotten the most fun out of them, but after all this time, we've finally gotten bored of them and don't know what to do."

Sonata looked at the two of them and then looked over at the slides. She then looked back at Speed Freak and Wishing Well, who were now holding hands, as if they were brother and sister. Then, with all this knowledge, Sonata got one of the best ideas she could have ever have thought off in this state.

She went over to two of the slides and used what little strength she had to move the slides and put them together. They were surprisingly light, believe it or not and Sonata was quite happy to know this as she put the slides next to each other.

"What are you doing, Sonata?" Speed Freak asked, curious as to know what was going through Sonata's head at this moment.

"Ta-da!" She said, once she'd finished her little rearranging. The slides were now together, next to each other so that they could all slide down together, instead of apart. "Now we can slide down together, and hold hands as we go down!"

"Are you sure this will work, Sonata?" Speed Freak said as he and Wishing Well made their way back to the stairs of the slides once again.

"I'm sure it will work." She said as she reached the top of the stairs and waited patiently for Speed Freak and Wishing Well to climb up with her. Once she was there, she held hands with Joyous Occasion and the two of them slid down together, laughing as they went down with added speed due to their held hands.

"Actually, that DOES look pretty entertaining..." Wishing Well said as she climbed the stairs with Speed Freak and waited patiently at the top for Sonata and Joyous Occasion to return.

"Well, here goes nothing..." Wishing Well said as she held hands with Speed Freak and Sonata. Sonata held onto Joyous Occasion's hand once again and they were all ready to go again.

"On the count of three, we slide down together." Sonata said, looking at the floor again as she looked at the three kids she was now holding hands with. "Ready?"

"Ready!" They all said together, shooting little smiles of confidence and trust at Sonata.

"Alrighty then..." Sonata said as she smiled right back at them all.

"One..." They said, holding onto each others' hands together, bearing little grins as they looked at each other one last time before they slid down. "Two..." They said, shuffling backwards a little, ready to shoot down the slopes together. "Three!"

The three of them all went down together, much faster than before. They all held each others' hands as they went down the slides, laughing happily once they all landed back on the padded floor again, on their backs or sides due to the added speed.

"Hehe. I gotta hand it to you, Sonata. That WAS pretty fun." Speed Freak said, smiling at Sonata once he got back onto his feet after all that excitement.

"I agree with Speed here." Wishing Well said, eager to have another go on the slides together like that. "What a great idea, Sonata."

"Aww... Thanks." She said, blushing at that compliment she'd received. Sonata had been getting a lot of praise from the three of them once her plan had some to fruition. "Happy to help you have fun."

"Sonata, do you wanna be our friend?" Both Speed Freak and Wishing Well asked, holding their hands out, waiting for Sonata to accept their offer.

"For realises?" She asked back, making sure they weren't joking around with her.

"For realises." They both said back, laughing at how childish that sounded. They still had their hands out at this moment, and Sonata smiled back and happily accepted them.

"What about you, Joy? You wanna be our friend as well?" Sonata asked, extending her own hand to Joyous Occasion, who was more than happy to accept it at this point in time.

"Sure thing, Sonata." She said, shaking the Siren child's hand happily. "You're pretty fun. I like fun friends."

"Me too." Sonata said, bringing all three of her new friends into one big hug together, all of which aww'd happily with one another. The four of them were good friends already, and it wasn't even noon.

The next few minutes they spent together were on the slides, all going down together, giggling all the while. They'd never tire of all this now, they were all friends in this. Sonata enjoyed this fun even more than ever before now, due to the fact that she had some new friends to play with, to make her feel more welcomed into her new life and quite content with her current stature.

All in all, Adagio, Aria and Sonata had all made some good friends in class today. They all played together with their friends until Playtime was over and they were called back to the table by Silver Lining and Fresh Start.

Once they all sat down again, Adagio, Aria and Sonata looked at each other with smiles. Smiles that told each other that they'd made some great friends during Playtime and were eager to spend the next lesson together with their friends. For The Dazzlings, this new discovery was a wonderful one, their friendships seemed wonderful to them. They'd never had any friends before they'd came here today and now that they'd discovered such a wonderful sensation, they felt like a new era was happening for them...
