Adagio was scared. It wasn't really that hard control fear usually. She had learned about fear much more quickly than the other emotions. Usually, if you're scared of something, you avoid it. It was the most simple solution to her. Now, however, the thing that scared her most was a rainbow haired guitarist, and she had just given her every reason she needed to rearrange the siren's face.

"What?" she asked quietly.

"I took it." Adagio said again, trying her best not to cry. "I don't know how it got out. I didn't even let Sunset take my phone and I deleted it the minute I got home."

Rainbow stood and clenched her fists at her side. "It's your fault then." she said menacingly. She whipped her head to lock onto Adagio's eyes. "It all your fault."

Applejack slid between the two girls and scowled at Rainbow. "Now ain't the time or the place, Dash." she threatened quietly.

Rarity moved to pull Adagio and Sunset further away from the two girls. "It's her fault, AJ." Rainbow said. "If it wasn't for her taking the video, you never would have got it. I never would have hit her, and then I wouldn't have yelled at Sunset. It's all because of her!" she was screaming and out of breath by the end of her sentence.

"No, it ain't." Applejack said evenly. "She just took a video."

"A video that hurt my Flutters!" Rainbow barked. "A video, which if it gets to the wrong people, could hurt us more!"

"It ain't her fault." Applejack said again. "She ain't the one trying to hurt ya'll anymore. Somebody else is doin' it, and you bitin' off Adagio's head is probably exactly what they want."

"So?!" Rainbow shouted. "Let's give 'em what they want. Hell, maybe they're outside the barn looking to record me kicking her ass!"

Fluttershy finally stood and put a hand on Rainbow's shoulder. "I forgive her." she said quietly. "Trust me, Rainbow, you should too."

"Why?" Rainbow asked fury etched onto her face.

Tears silently fell down her lovers eyes and Rainbow felt her rage evaporate. "Just trust me, Dashie." she sobbed. "Don't make me say it, just trust me, please."

Rainbow wrapped her Flutters in a hug and sighed. "I won't forgive her." she whispered. "But, I won't kick her ass right now either."

Fluttershy nodded, understanding that, that was the best she would get for now. "Let's go home then." she sobbed again.

Then the pair walked away. Nobody made a move to stop them.

"Why, in the sam hell, would you tell 'er that, Adagio?" Applejack asked as she plopped back in her seat.

"Come on, Applejack, love." Rarity giggled quietly. "Wouldn't you say honest is the best policy."

Applejack raised an eyebrow at her, but couldn't quite hide her laughter. "I guess I get it then."

Adagio stood frozen in the corner of the barn Rarity had pulled her to. Rainbow hated her, but Fluttershy forgave her? That quickly? It didn't make any sense. Why was she crying? Why did she look over her shoulder at Adagio and mouth 'thank you'? Something was going on with the timid girl, but Adagio knew better than to pry.

"Hun," Sunset called, breaking the siren from her thoughts, "You gonna come sit with the rest of us?" she asked.

Adagio nodded and sat at the table with her friends. That was a fun thought. Friends.

Applejack grinned a wolf's grin before leaning closely to the siren. "So," she began with a growl, "Whatcha think of the show ya got?" she asked.

Adagio's face immediately heated up and she shifted in her seat uncomfortably. "I-I-I-I," she stammered.

"Applejack!" Rarity scolded. "You're going to give the poor dear a stroke." Rarity gently popped her girlfriend on the back of the head. "I swear, you're as bad as Rainbow Dash sometimes."

"C'mon, Rares, I didn't mean no harm." Applejack said with a chuckle. "I just wanted to know what an outsider thought about how good we are in the sack."

"Applejack!" Rarity growled. "Drop it."

Adagio looked to Sunset to see how she should react. Sunset caught her looking and simply winked.

Then this must have been one of those play fights that couples sometimes had. She had seen those on television, but never understood the appeal. Now that she had human emotion, she understood why Applejack liked intentionally upsetting Rarity, because Rarity knew it was a joke and she was playing along by acting mad.

Adagio had been worried they were about to fight, but now she was calm. Then she grinned to herself as she decided to join in the fun. "Actually I was quite mystified by you two." she said. "In fact, Rarity, you have got to tell me where you learned that move."

Rarity jumped when she heard the siren speak then turned to Applejack again. "See, this is what I didn't want to hear."

"Y'know what though." Applejack said, a slight blush coloring her cheeks. "It makes sense now."

"What does?" Sunset asked.

"That night, I thought I heard a third person panting." Applejack said as she started to look genuinely uncomfortable.

Adagio's eyes widened as she realized what Applejack meant by her statement and she felt her face growing even more red than before. "Yeah..." she mumbled as she noticed just how fascinating Sunset's shoe laces were. "I may have gotten a little carried away..."

Rarity's jaw dropped and she looked from Applejack to the siren and back again. "Wow." she said blankly. "I guess we are pretty hot."

Sunset immediately fell back in her chair and hit the ground laughing. "This is the greatest conversation I've ever had." she barked. "I'm so glad we're here right now."

"You're just as bad." Adagio said. "You're the one who was dying to watch that video."

"I don't blame her." Rarity said with a slightly wistful look in her eyes. "It was amazing."

"Oh my god." Adagio said as she sat back in her seat.

"Wait,"Sunset bolted upright and looked at the couple. "Do you still have it?"

"Uhh..." Applejack hummed. "Define 'have it'."

"Oh my god." Adagio said again.

Sunset scrambled to get out of the floor and raced across the table to grab Applejack's shirt. "You have to let me see it." she pleaded.

Applejack blushed and lowered her head. "You'll have to let go of m-my shirt."

Sunset looked down at her own hands and blushed as she released her friend. "I'm sorry, AJ." she said as they all returned to their seats. "I guess I got a little excited, I didn't mean anything by it."

"It's alright, sugarcube." she said with a friendly laugh. "I just don't like anybody but Rares grabbin' those."

"It's true, dear." Rarity said. "Sometimes she gets in a mood and won't even let me grab them."

"That's more information than I needed." Adagio said.

"Now," Applejack said as a sense of normalcy returned to the room. "I am curious, Adagio."

"Yes?" she asked.

"Well, I ain't really known ya long, but ya don't strike me as the type to hide in the bushes and touch yourself." She said calmly, all normalcy packing up and moving to a different country. "I ain't pickin' on ya, but I am curious as to what's gotcha messed up enough to do somethin' like that."

"It's embarrassing." Adagio mumbled. "Besides, I don't really think you wanna hear about."

"I know it's embarrassing." the farmer said calmly. "Ya gotta talk about it though. Bein' honest with your friends is important, plus if we take care of it now it'll be less embarrassin' in the long run. We wanna help, if we can."

Adagio looked at the smiling faces of the three others in the room and sighed. "Well, I don't think you can help, but I'll tell you." she said. "Sunset already knows this, but when you all destroyed our crystals in the battle of the bands, we turned human. I mean, completely. Before, we never got hungry, didn't really get angry, and we never had... urges." Adagio hung her head a little and felt her blush deepen. "In fact, the first ever orgasm I had was outside your barn that night..."

Rarity giggled slightly and said, "Well, I'm glad we could help."

"What?" Sunset and Adagio said together.

"Well, I mean," Rarity winked, "every young woman needs a release every now and again."

"I wanna go home." Adagio said quietly. Sunset nodded her agreement and they stood.

"Hey, before ya go." Applejack called. "Would ya'll be willin' to come back tomorrow?"

"What for?" Sunset asked.

"I got a plan to figure out whoever's sending that video. It's gonna take a few weeks so I need ya'll to spend as much time here as ya can spare. I don't want anybody to be off alone till we get it set up."

"How long do you think it's gonna take?" Adagio asked.

"Honestly, I figure it won't take too awful long. Maybe a week or so." Applejack explained.

"We'll give you both the full details tomorrow." Rarity said. "She had a brilliant plan last night, but I feel like it could use a few minor tweaks."

"Okay." Adagio said with a nod. "We'll be back tomorrow. Anything we need to bring?"

"Just yerselves and some work clothes." Applejack said with a shrug. "We gotta make it look like ya'll are here for a reason, just in case."

Adagio nodded. It made sense that they look like they're working on the farm. If someone is following them around with a camera they couldn't be too careful. "Alright." she said with a resolute clench of her fists. "Give me that phone number again though." she said. "I'll call it from a pay phone later and if they don't answer, maybe their voicemail will give us a name."

Applejack nodded. "That's a good idea an' all, but we done tried it." she said.

Rarity nodded. "I did it last night. Apparently they haven't set up their voice mail and no matter how many times I called, they didn't answer. I'm afraid we may have made them even more cautious." she said.

"Here's a crazy thought," Sunset said, "if we're all being stalked by somebody why don't we call the cops?"

"We can't do that." Pinkie said from the corner. Everyone ignored the fact that she seemed to materialize there save for Adagio.

"Where-"

"Don't." Sunset said quickly. "It'll just confuse you even more." Sunset then turned to Pinkie. "Why do you say that Pinkie?"

"I asked you to be here an hour ago Pinkie." Applejack said. "What took you so long?"

"I got stuck." Pinkie said with a smile.

"See?" Sunset whispered to her girlfriend. Adagio giggled.

"And, to answer your question, Sunset, we can't do that because you could all get in trouble." Pinkie bounced to the table the other four girls stood around. "Fluttershy is the oldest of us." she explained. "She got held back a couple early grades because her teachers thought she wasn't social enough to move on. She's actually turning twenty this year."

"So?" Adagio asked.

"So, Dashie just turned eighteen."

"Oh." Sunset said.

Adagio stared at them both. "I don't get it."

Sunset smiled and placed a hand on Adagio's shoulder. "If whoever gets has the video gets caught they can lie about when it was taken. If they say it was taken two months ago then you'd be in trouble for illegally recording a minor having sex, Rainbow would get in trouble for being recorded having sex as a minor, and Fluttershy would get into trouble for having sex with a minor. Which, I guess she was..."

"Not during this story though!" Pinkie yelled happily.

"What?" Rarity asked.

"I just have to make sure everyone knows we're all following the rules." Pinkie said with a resolute nod and a wink.

"What rules?" Adagio asked.

"Don't." Sunset said again. "Trust me, it makes sense to her, that's all we need."

Adagio chuckled quietly and nodded. "So... no cops?" she asked.

"Unless someone get's hurt, it would be best." Applejack nodded. "Besides, ain't nothin' we can't handle."

"Why am I here?" Pinkie asked.

Applejack chuckled quietly. "You're here in case we're being watched, Pinkie." she said. "If anyone's out there watching us right now, we need to know. I figured, you're the best bet we got of finding out for sure."

"How's that?" Pinkie asked.

"I need you to go outside and see if you can spot anybody. If you do, don't let them know. We just need to know who they're focused on watching. Sunset and Adagio are about to leave. Walk them to the bus-stop then come back. If you feel anyone watching you when we get back, we'll know they're watching one of us three, if you don't then we'll know they're watching Adagio and Sunset."

"What if I don't notice anybody at all?" Pinkie asked.

"That means they're probably watching Dash and Fluttershy." Applejack explained. "Or they ain't following us at all today, one of the two."

"How do we know they aren't listening now?" Adagio asked. "This plan kinda seems to hinge on the fact that they don't know what's happening in the barn right now."

"I got this barn sound proofed when Applebloom decided she wanted to learn how to play the drums." Applejack said. "They'd have to be right outside the front door to hear us and from the way they've been doin' things, I don't think they'd be risky enough to do that."

"Phase one of the plan is to find out who they're targeting. They probably realize they can't target all of us, so they've probably chosen one or two of us to follow at a time." Rarity explained. "Once we figure out who they're following, we can come up with a plan to corner them."

Sunset and Adagio nodded. "Alright." Sunset said. "Time to leave then."

"One more thing." Rarity said. "I've got one tweak to the plan, something we need to figure out."

"What do you need us to do?" Adagio asked.

"It's a strange request, but I need you to do something when you get home." Rarity breathed a shaky breath. This was gonna be weird.

Author's Notes:

Hehehe, so that Havok person... she just can't seem post chapters on any kinda schedule, huh? She's so lame right?

Anyways, I'm really sorry this took me so long. I had a bit of writers block for a while, but I've planned out at least a few more chapters worth of stuff, so if I can just get off my lazy ass and stay on this I can have some pretty quick updates out.

As usual, I regret nothing (except for how long it's taking me to write these chapters)
