Adagio fell back into the couch with a sigh. She and Sunset had just finished carrying the other two unconscious sirens to their beds. Adagio looked at Sunset as she, too, fell into the couch with a heavy sigh. "Why didn't you tell me they were so heavy?" she asked. "Sonata felt like a ton of bricks."

Adagio laughed slightly, "I gave you the easy one." she said. "Aria weighs about thirty pounds more than Sonata."

Sunset raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yeah, she eats a lot of chocolate." Adagio said as she nonchalantly slid closer to her girlfriend. "That was pretty much the only thing she'd eat before we became sirens."

"What do you mean 'before you became sirens'?" Sunset asked as she leaned into Adagio. "I thought you were born sirens."

Adagio shook her head. "No... we were regular ponies a long time ago... I guess it's just been so long I forgot what it was like."

"What happened?" Sunset asked.

Adagio sighed. "Well, truth be told... have you ever heard of King Sombra?" she asked. Sunset nodded. "Well he's who made us into what we were."

"What happened?" Sunset asked as she placed a reassuring hand on the siren's shoulder.

"Well, truth be told, I don't really remember most of it... It was so long ago and we were so young. I do remember that we lived in the crystal empire, but we weren't crystal ponies." Adagio smiled as she recalled some of her fonder childhood memories. "We were inseparable foals and even at that age, I really felt like it was us against the world. We were always causing trouble and running from the orphanage..."

"Orphanage?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah... we grew up there together. None of us ever knew our parents, but we were too young to remember them anyways." Adagio sighed. "When Sombra found us in the street one day... he offered us power. He said, 'a chance to have all the love and adoration we had always wanted.' Naturally we jumped on the offer. We had never known love from anybody... except each other."

"I'm sorry..." Sunset said as she turned to the floor. "I didn't mean to pry."

"It's alright, I just- you needed to know." Adagio took a deep breath. "You needed to know that you're the first person I've ever cared about except those two."

"I care about you too, Adagio." Sunset said as she locked eyes with the siren. "I care a lot."

Adagio cupped Sunset's face with her hands and smiled sadly. "And you're the first person to ever tell me that, honestly." Adagio leaned her face closer to her girlfriend's and closed her eyes. Adagio could feel Sunset's own face leaning forward. The two inched closer together until they could feel the ghost of one another's lips against each other. "Thank you..." Adagio whispered. She leaned her head forward to feel Sunset's lips brush against her own. The kiss was quick; gentle, but filled with a fire Adagio had never felt before. Her entire body heated and she felt her heart begin to flutter for a moment. Kissing Sunset was always like this and Adagio had to restrain herself from tackling her girlfriend to the floor and having a repeat of the previous night.

Adagio pulled away and smiled at Sunset. Sunset had a concerned look in her eyes as she stared at the siren. "Adagio?" she asked. "You're crying again..."

Adagio reached a hand to her face and was surprised to find moisture on her cheek. Adagio stared at the tear on her fingertips before smiling. "I think it's because I'm happy... I've heard of that happening before."

Sunset smiled before wrapping the siren in a tight embrace. "I'm glad." she said. "I didn't want you to be upset anymore."

Adagio chuckled as she returned the hug, snuggling her face into the other girl's neck slightly. "Nah, I am a little worried though."

"About what?" Sunset asked as she pulled away from the hug, looking slightly concerned again.

Adagio sighed. "Sonata and Aria... I don't know how they're going to react to... US."

"Why would they have a problem with it? They seem to be with each other." Sunset said.

Adagio nodded. "I know, but we've always had each other. For better or worse. They've been bonding for over a thousand years now, but you? We've known you for about a month and the most note-worthy thing they know about you is that you helped beat us in the battle of the bands. I don't know how they'll feel about you and me being together."

Sunset smiled as she kissed Adagio quickly on the cheek. "Well, if they don't like it just remember, you're going home with me tonight."

"I just don't want them to hate me for-"

"For what?" Aria's voice caused Adagio to jump before looking to the other siren's doorway. "For getting with her?" she asked.

Adagio simply stared, dumbfounded as Aria and Sonata walked into the living room, apparently sobered up from their nap. Sonata yawned loudly as she sat on the couch next to Adagio. "Yeah, why would we hate you for that?" she asked sleepily as she rubbed her eyes with the palms of her hands.

Adagio opened her mouth and closed it several times as she tried to speak. Aria beat her to the punch. "You think we'd hate you for what? Wanting a little comfort?" Aria smiled as she pulled Adagio to her feet. "For wanting to go to bed at night with someone else with you?" Aria placed her hands on Adagio's shoulders and smiled. "Why would we hate you for wanting someone to hold you, to love you, to tell you you're beautiful every day?" Aria sighed as she pulled Adagio into a hug. "I know I haven't said anything like this in a millennium, but we love you, Adagio. You've always been like a big sister to us."

Adagio felt another set of arms wrap around her from behind. "We love you 'Dagi." Sonata whispered.

"Thank you... I love you both, too." Adagio said. "You've always been like sisters to me and... I've never... been strong enough to tell you that."

"We've always known though." Sonata said as she fell back to the couch.

"You do realize that I'm dating the main reason we're humans, though right?" Adagio asked as she sat down next to her girlfriend. "You guys aren't even a little concerned about that?"

"Why?" Sonata asked. "It's not like you're gonna get pregnant."

Aria fell to the floor laughing while Adagio simply sighed. "I don't know what I expected." she said.

"Do you have any questions?" Aria asked as she made her way to the couch.

"About what?" Adagio asked.

Aria sat in Sonata's lap and wrapped her arms around the other girl. "About us." she said as she smiled at Sonata, who returned the smile with a genuine warmth that Adagio hadn't seen on the siren's face in a thousand years.

"Why were you drunk when I came in?" Adagio asked. She felt like it was the question that really needed answering.

"Well, we were stressed cause we were worried about you." Aria said. "Then we thought we'd have a quick drink to relax and maybe get a nap before you got here."

"Aria said I was a frisky drunk." Sonata chimed happily. "So we did it. Like a lot. Then I got really sleepy and took a nap."

"Under me..." Aria mumbled grumpily. "Then you showed up." she finished. "You were early."

"It's not like we interrupted anything important." Sunset mumbled into her shoulder. "Don't you want to tell them the other thing, dear?" Sunset asked as she linked her fingers with the siren's.

"Right." Adagio looked to her sisters to see a curious look on their faces. It was not worry, but neither was it happiness. It was a blank look. "I'm staying with Sunset... for a while."

"Okay." Aria said. "Do you want some help packing?"

Adagio's jaw dropped. "That's it?" she asked incredulously. "That's it? I tell you I'm leaving, and all you can manage is 'want some help packing'?"

Aria thought for a moment before smiling at her former leader. "We're happy for you."

Sonata smiled and hugged Aria tighter. "But, we're also happy to have the place to ourselves." Sonata giggled.

Aria flicked the other girl in the nose. "What Sonata meant to say is; we're glad you're finally caring about somebody besides us. You've spent all these years watching over us... it's about time you start looking out for what you want. You've found what you want." she gestured to Sunset who in turn blushed. "Now, hold on to it... don't let it go." Aria smiled and placed her head on Sonata's. "I know I won't."

Adagio smiled at her sister. "That was incredibly cheesy and cliché... but sweet."

"I agree." Sunset said as she tightened her hold on the siren's hand. Adagio sighed contently as she leaned into Sunset. So, everything was okay. Soon she would pack her bags and move into Sunset's home... her home. She smiled at the thought as she used her thumb to stroke the back of Sunset's hand.

Everything was good. Sure, she could foresee problems down the road. Yes, it might be difficult and maybe some days would not be good, but all of it would definitely be worth whatever troubles just so long as she could feel the way she did now at least from time to time.

"What are you thinking about?" Sunset asked, a small smile on her face.

"The future." Adagio answered.

"And how's that look?"

Adagio smiled before lightly kissing her girlfriend. "Amazing."

Author's Notes:

Well, this chapter was going to be huge, but I've procrastinated so much that I decided to split the last chapter into two parts. For those of you reading exclusively for the clop, don't worry. I've got that covered in the next chapter. You can expect it to arrive soon.
