Adagio walked down the hall and knocked on the door with a shield bearing an apple insignia upon it. "Who's 'ere?" a little voice called from within.

"It's Adagio." Adagio said. Over the course of the past week she had gotten to know about her new friends siblings, but she had not yet had the chance to meet one of them. She was excited to possibly make another friend and she couldn't wait to see what kind of person Applebloom was for herself.

The door opened and Adagio was greeted by the sight of a short frowning red-headed girl. "What?" she asked in a clipped tone.

"Applejack and Rarity told me to share a room with you tonight..." Adagio explained with a sheepish grin. The other girl simply stared at her. "May I come in?" she asked.

"No." Applebloom said.

Adagio laughed nervously. "Well, if I can't come in the room, how am I supposed to sleep in there?" she asked as a joke, hoping to lighten the mood.

It didn't work. The door slammed in her face and nearly hit her in the nose. "Okay... well that's fine, but... where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"

"Not here." was the short reply she received. "Maybe you should go sleep in the barn with all the other pigs."

Okay, that was fine. That didn't hurt the siren's feelings at all.

An arm on her shoulder broke her from her thoughts, and Adagio turned to face the owner of said hand. Granny Smith shook her head sadly and handed her a blanket. "Applebloom, our guest has been nothin' but helpful since she showed up. She's even covered yer chores. How did ya think you got to spend a week over at Rarity's. You be nice to her."

"Thanks, Granny. But, it's okay. I understand where she's coming from. I'll go sleep on the couch." Adagio said. "Besides, maybe if I leave her alone she'll warm up to me eventually."

"Alright, sugarcube, but if she gives you too many problems you let me know." Granny said before giving the siren a quick hug. Adagio had learned immediately that as far as Granny Smith was concerned anyone who was friends with Applejack was also considered a grand-child. Adagio was grateful for it.

She went downstairs to the couch and sat down before turning on the television. Despite all of the talk of where they would be sleeping tonight it was still early in the day, but Adagio knew from experience that Rarity and Applejack would not be back down tonight. She quickly turned the television to her favorite station and smiled as her favorite programs title sequence began playing.

Adagio awoke during the night to find that she had fallen asleep in the middle of a marathon on t.v. She stared at the screen as her eyes opened. Her favorite character was doing something. She must not have seen this episode before, because he had a strange 'M' shape on his forhead.

"Goodbye." he said before he began screaming at the top of his lungs. A large wave of yellow surrounded him as everything in the area was devastated.

"I hate this part." a voice said from above her. The siren craned her head to see Applejack in her underwear, a carton of apple juice raised to her lips as she stared at the screen.

Adagio returned her attention to the screen as she said, "Why, it's a normal energy wave, he'll be okay."

"No, he won't." Applejack said. "He's usin' all his energy. He's gonna die..."

"You're messing with me." Adagio said.

"I ain't." Applejack quickly sat on the siren's outstretched legs on the couch and stared at the screen. "Didn't you hear him tellin' everyone he loves goodbye?"

The screen quickly revealed Adagio's favorite character changed. His skin was white as paper and he seemed to slowly turn to dust as he floated in the air. "No!" Adagio cried. "But, he was supposed to be the strongest and redeem himself, Applejack. He was supposed to finally be good and he was supposed to help save the world. He can't die like that."

"Yeah, well sometimes, all we can do is take the hits for the real hero. It sucks, but that's the way it is sometimes."

"At least tell me he really did kill that fat pink thing."

"Take a look." Applejack said as she gestured to the screen.

The screen quickly revealed all of the pieces of the pink thing reforming. "That's not fair." Adagio said as she felt a tear leave her eye. "I've been watching this all week after get done working with you and this is how it ends?"

"Nope." Applejack said with a chuckle. "Remember, death has no consequence in this show. Besides, he really was a hero in the end. His final thoughts were about how much he cared for his wife, his kid, and even his friend."

"I suppose there's that at-least... So, is that how you know if your good?" Adagio asked. "When you care about other people more than you care about yourself?"

"I'd say that sounds right." Applejack said with a friendly smile. "When you fall in love and you care more about protecting that person than you do about keepin' yerself safe.. that's when you know you're good."

"Then... am I good now?"

Applejack laughed loudly and quickly fell onto the siren in a laying hug. "Of course you are!" she said. "You've been so worried about Pinkie, Sunset, Rares, and even me and Dash and Fluttershy. You've been nothing, but a good friend and a good person. You're not just good, you're great, Adagio."

"Get off me before Rarity sees and rubs you raw." Adagio mumbled.

"What do you think she's been doin' all day?"

"It'll only get worse for you if she sees you laying on the couch with me." Adagio said.

"Relax, she was just markin' her territory. She ain't gonna mind if I treat you the way I treat all my friends... besides, what do you mean worse?"

"Nothing." Adagio said with a shrug. "I just know Sunset and I can't go more than twice without getting really sore."

"You look tired." Applejack said quickly. "Why don't you go on to bed?"

"I'm sleeping here." Adagio said with a shrug. "Applebloom doesn't want me to be anywhere near her."

"What did she say?" Applejack asked, a dangerous fire stirring in her eyes.

"Don't worry about it." Adagio said as she buried her head into the couch. "She's just upset."

"We've all forgiven you and told our sisters ta play nice." Applejack said as she made to leave the couch only to be stopped by Adagio's hand on her wrist.

"Applejack, you can't really get mad at her."

"Yes I can."

"Applejack, think of all of the horrible things I've done to you." Adagio said as the larger girl returned to her seat. "Think of how hard I worked at destroying your friendship and turning you all against each other. Think of how much I was going to hurt you all if we had won the battle of the bands..."

"I done said we all forgave you." Applejack said sternly.

"I know." Adagio said with a small smile. "But, think of all of those things... now think about if I had done them to somebody you love..."

Applejack sat speechless for a moment.

"I know that I've only cared about all of you girls for a little more than a week now, but I already want to destroy whoever's hurting you. The person following us and sending those videos... I wouldn't care if they were only out to hurt me, but they're out to hurt all of you too, and that's what pisses me off..." Adagio sighed. "That's probably what's pissing off your little sister."

Adagio stared at the siren for a moment before smiling. "Look at just how much you've grown in such a short amount of time..." she whispered. "I'm proud of ya."

"Thanks." Adagio said as she leaned up to hug her friend. "You guys have done so much for me, I can't ever thank you enough."

"Ain't gotta thank us." Applejack mumbled as she returned the embrace. "It's what friends are for."

The two then sat in companionable silence and finished the marathon on the television. The final episode of the day revealed the main character looking for someone as strong as he was so they could work together to defeat the villain, but the only person who could help was his son who was immediately taken out by the villain. Immediately after the screen flashed to Adagio's favorite character apparently alive and on earth staring out at the rocky landscape with a lady who looked like a witch.

"He came back." Adagio laughed. "I'm so glad, I thought he was gonna stay dead for sure this time."

"The redemptive villain." Rarity's voice came from behind the couch where the two girls sat. "You can never have a good story without an anti-hero."

Adagio turned around and smiled at Rarity. "How long have you been standing there?" she asked.

"Since your little heart-to-heart earlier. I didn't want to interrupt." she explained. "It's a shame the marathon is over, I would have liked to watch more of that."

"Well," Applejack said as she tore across the room to a bookshelf. "if you really mean that, we ain't got any work to do tomorrow and we can't really work on the plan for a few more days..." she quickly grabbed a box off the top of the shelf and placed it before her girlfriend. She opened the box to reveal every season of every series of the show. "We ain't ever watched it all the way through."

Rarity blinked at the box. "Are you suggesting we watch sixteen seasons of this show on our time off?"

"It was your part of the plan to act like we're so upset we can't function for a week." Adagio said with a shrug. "Besides, I've only seen what comes on T.V. I don't think I've ever seen all of it."

Rarity looked between the pleading expressions of her lover and her friend before sighing loudly. "There'll be no living with you two this week will there?" she asked in a mock tone of exasperation.

The two beamed at each other before Applejack grabbed the first disk of the entire franchise and placed it in her DVD player. Rarity quickly laid on top of the siren on the couch before they were both joined by Applejack.

"You guys are heavy." Adagio grunted.

"We cuddle when we watch TV and you've taken the only couch... deal with it." Rarity said. Despite her stern tone she did readjust herself behind the siren before placing one of her hands on Adagio's waist and the other atop Applejack's hand.

Applejack pressed play and the screen filled with color. A small boy carrying a fish was hit by a car and then... the adventure began.

Rainbow Dash stared at her lover's sleeping form. She had cried all night about Sunset and Adagio breaking up, more so even than the girl in question. They had all spent some time with her that day, trying to console her. Rainbow had been furious. She hated the siren who seemed to hurt everyone she touched.

She had taken the video. She had broken up with Sunset. She had been nothing but a problem since they had met her. Yet, Fluttershy had forgiven her for taking the video. Fluttershy had forgiven her for breaking up with Sunset. Fluttershy had forgiven her for everything she had done and had urged Rainbow Dash to do the same.

Rainbow fumed silently. Why should she not hate the siren. She had been nothing but a bitch. Did her lover know something she didn't? Rainbow put it down as Fluttershy's kindness originally, but she doubted that was the case. Even Fluttershy could hold a grudge against someone if they wronged her enough. She would still show them kindness, but she would never forget what they had done.

No, there was definitely something else going on there and Rainbow intended to find out what. She was not angry at her lover, but she did want answers. The two had only been living together for a short while, but Fluttershy had made herself completely at home in her new house. All of the stuffed animals in Rainbow's bed could attest to that. Rainbow smiled at the thought. It was the only thing that had quelled her anger in the past week; the knowledge that she would be going to bed with God's most beautiful creation every night.

She smiled as Fluttershy unconsciously grabbed another stuffed animal and held it to her chest. Fluttershy was one of the few people who looked just as at-peace asleep as they did awake, but it still did not make the sight any less irresistible.

Rainbow craned her neck until her lips were a hair's breadth from her lover's ear. She quickly kissed the ear and slid her hand between Fluttershy's thighs. Fluttershy whimpered in her sleep, but spread her legs further apart.

Much like Rainbow, Fluttershy only slept in a pair of panties. Rainbow did not know if her lover had picked up the habit from her, or if that had been how she always slept, but she did not care she was simply grateful for it.

Fluttershy quickly closed her legs and rolled to her side after a few moments of Rainbow's rubbing. She placed her open palm on Dash's face before mumbling. "Wait till mornin' Dashie." she mumbled in her sleep induced haze before giving what she believed a gentle nudge on her lover's face.

One of the few things that Rainbow knew that others did not about her lover was her strength. When she was conscious, Fluttershy intentionally held back in everything she did, however she was easily stronger than anyone in their group of friends. Fluttershy herself may not have been aware of it, due to the fact that every time she revealed her true strength she was still half-asleep.

When she pushed her hand against her lover's face she believed it a nudge, however this was a push with her full strength, something Rainbow had grown quite curious of during their relationship. She was more dizzy than curious as her head hit the wall on the other side of the room.

"Sorry." Fluttershy mumbled from the bed. "I know you wanna do stuff, but I'm tired... it can wait... right?" she yawned as she returned to her previous position on her back.

"I'll do it myself." Rainbow mumbled as she picked herself up off the floor hoping her lover didn't hear her. When Fluttershy heard that she automatically assumed Rainbow wouldn't want it anymore and she would make no attempt at a repeat of the events.

Rainbow quickly made her way to the living room and, after checking the blinds, quickly stripped off her own piece of clothing. She grabbed a box hidden behind one of her posters. It was literally the only secret she kept from even her girlfriend.

The box opened to reveal the one and only vibrator that Rainbow Dash owned, and it embarrassed her. It was only three inches long, by an inch wide and in the shape of an egg. Rainbow was embarrassed by the fact that large vibrator and in-fact the act of penetration scared her. She liked the small egg, because it was something she could place on her outer lips and turn the speed all the way up on and she would quickly reach her climax with no penetration at all.

She sat herself upon the couch and quickly placed the egg between her legs before closing them tightly. She grabbed the remote for the egg and set the number to one.

She sighed loudly as she relaxed into the pulsating between the folds of her vagina. She smiled to herself as the sensation of pleasure forced her to bend her toes until they popped. She quickly turned the number up. The pulsing became powerful enough that it shook the entire cushion of the couch. She quickly used her fingers to spread her lower lips apart and quickly pushed the egg directly against her clit.

She moaned girlishly, a sound that would have embarrassed her on any other occasion. She ground her hips upon the egg alternating from having it pressed directly against her clit and directly outside of her hole. The tip of the egg slid inside her, allowing just enough pressure to increase her pleasure, but not enough for her to accidentally force the egg inside of her completely.

She pressed the egg against her clit again and bit her lip to keep from crying out. She squeezed her own breast and used the tips of her finger to pinch her own nipple. The pressure built within her as she thrust her clit against the toy once again and she knew she would be over the edge soon.

One last time she pushed the egg against her hole and cried out in ecstasy as she reached her long-overdue climax. She moaned her pleasure as quietly as she could for fear of waking her lover in the next room.

Rainbow panted for a moment as she slowly slid her underwear back on. She knew that she could have waited until morning, but she always got horny whenever her time of the month was coming up and according to her math she only had two or three days left until then. She put her clothes back on and quickly hid the egg inside the box and replaced it behind her poster before heading to bed.

She fell in place next to her lover and smiled at her sleeping form. She quickly wrapped her arms around Fluttershy's waist and pulled the girl's bare back into her chest. Fluttershy hummed contently at the contact.

"I love you, Dashie." She mumbled sleepily.

"I love you too, Butterfly."
