The Story of -F
Chapter 12: Siren Songs, Sibling Lullabys
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Aria, is my mascara everywhere?" Sonata asked after the girls left the funeral . Rainbows funeral finally happened, dew to have found the body a week ago.
"No." Aria said tucking at her uncomfortable dress.
"I can't belive she's really gone.'' Rarity said, wiping her tears.
"Who can." Applejack said. "And who knows who's next."
Fluttershy bit her lip. "I can't bare to lose another one of us!"
"Well, we're putting all our trust on Speed, Talent, and Salvage." Sunset said. "It could be one of us, two, or even all of us."
"Yeah all we know Speed could be a dog." Aria joked sadly. "I'm gonna go talk to Scootaloo. See if she'll bare me."
"Luck." Sonata said.
"Sonata, anything wrong besides well, Rainbow?" Sunset asked.
"Oh, um, no." Sonata lied, thinking about the heart problem. "My arm. Hurts. My arm hurts."
"I got your meds," Applejack offered.
"Oh no please," Sonata held her hand out. "I'm good."
"Owh! You fucking stubborn kid!" Aria yelled. All eyes went to Scootaloo, eyes filled with tears, walking away.
"What happened?" Fluttershy asked.
"Little bastard and friends said I helped murder RD and should go to prison." Aria said. "Then little miss Scootaloo steps on my foot. And holy shiz she's strong." Aria grabbed her foot. They watched as Applebloom turned around and stuck the finger in the air.
"Right back at you kid!" Aria yelled to her.

"Hey Misty." Applejack said as she went into the girls bathroom.
"Hey." She shyly said. "I gotta go-"
"Why did you quit?" Applejack blocked the door. "Why? I know you and Big Mac use to date and you broke up recently but-"
"That's not it." Misty began to cry. "That's what I tell everyone because I'm to scared of the truth."
"What's the truth?" Applejack put her hand on the door. Misty looked at the door and then Applejack. The she kept her eyes on the door.
"Sugar cube," Applejack moved Misty face. "Eyes are up here."
"It was, it was," Misty stuttered.
"Spit it out." Applejack kindly demanded.
"Your little sister." Misty said.

Sonata sat on the couch and looked up at the ceiling. Maybe it's time I tell her, Sonata thought. No, I can't. But what if things get worst then I'll have to tell her. ,maybe I should tell Adagio. Ugh no, she'll tell Aria. Pinkie? She's not element of loyalty, but she's loyal. Ya, I'll tell her. Good to tell someone right?
Sonata tried to get up, but she just fell back. I'm really tierd. I'll take a nap. Now, where's my teddy bear?

"Applebloom?" Applejack asked confused. "What about her?"
"I've said to much." She grabbed the knob. Applejack recovered it.
"You've said to little." Applejack told her.
"I don't want her to hurt me. Or you. Or anyone."
"For Petes sake she said the dress was blue and gold, she's not gonna hurt ya."
"She hurt Rainbow." She yelled. Applejack was silent.
"What do you mean?"
"The night, I came to babysit, the day after Rainbow died," Misty said. "Applebloom thought her door was locked, but it wasn't. I opened the door and sare her chatting on the phone. She told whoever she was talking to 'We need to chat more on the phone, Babs, maybe I should head over soon.'. That's when she hung up and held up the dress. The dress Rainbow said the was going to wear to the dance. She had been putting blood on it. Not Rainbows blood, Adagios. As soon as she heard me, she looked at the door with a mean look. I went downstairs and acted like it never happened, but, but..." Misty began crying.
"Misty, why didn't you tell us?" Applejack asked putting a hand on her sholder.
"Because. I was scared," Misty said, touching her purple hair. "I need to leave, I'm already late." And she left.
She can't be, Applejack thought. Applebloom is F?
* * *
"Appleblooms F?" Aria whispered. "What? That's crap. She's like, a foot tall."
"Yeah, so?" Applejack said, "She has been acting a little suspicious. Like after F attacked me in Manhattan, she asked me the next morning 'Hey, did ya sleep well?'."
"Okay that," Rarity stabbed her salad, "that is paranoid."
"What's paranoid?" Applebloom asked as she walked over to the girls lunch table. The girls all went silent.
"School." Rarity lied.
"I just wanted to tell Aria I'm sorry for acting like a jackass." Applebloom apologized. "At the funeral."
"It's okay, you were mad." Aria didn't mean that.
"And sis, I need help!" Applebloom yelled.
You got that right. Applejack thought. "What's wrong?"
"I'm scared of heights, and on Monday, we're going on a field trip to the," she gulped. "The rainbow ropes." Applebloom looked down.
"Isn't that a 24 foot high rope obstacle corse?" Fluttershy asked. Applebloom nodded.
"I'd be happy to do some mini training on you." Aria offered.
"Really?" Applebloom smiled, " Thanks Aria!"
Applebloom skipped away. "Why'd you do that?" Sunset asked.
"To get information out of her. Duh!" Aria ripped her grilled cheese in half.

This isn't prison. I know it. I smell Rainbow Dash, I smell blood.
Jail sweet jail, Dagi. -F.
"Pinkie?" Adagio called, banging on the walls of her jail cell. "Hello?"
She stood up and went to the bars. She began to beat on the, calling for help.
"Someone's here! I know it! Shining Armor? Cadence?" Adagios voice died. "F?"
Adagios eardrums bounced as she heard shattering from down the hall.
"Help!" She said as she began to cry. "Aria! Sonata! Sunset!" She sobbed.
She sank down to the floor still sobbing she knew she had been kidnapped by F while she was sleeping.
She'd never been more scared, she wanted her friends and her sisters. She wanted to go back in time and change everything. Her faith, her sisters faith, her friends faith, Speed, Talent, and Salvage faith. One mistake, created all of this.
Adagio loved singing when she was able to. When she had the pendent. It made her happy. What we were still in equestria. How would our lives, their lives be diffrent? Adagio let these thoughts bubble in her mind. Until she couldn't take it anymore. She knew she would sound horrible, but the lyrics of the equestria lullaby made her heart smile. The equestrian lullaby was made while the sirens where in equestria.
"Night has come now, Celestias sun is gone.
The sun will return tommorow, soon after dawn.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides."
Adagio wiped her tears away.
"From Ponyvillie, to Canterlot, to the end of the horizon,
You won't be alone.
Equestria is your home, your own lovely zone.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides."
Adagio remembered her, Aria, and Sonata playing around a bunch of mountains in Equestria. Aria pushed Sonata into the ocean, it was fun.
"Memories, will never leave your mind,
Some may be blurry, but all will contain love.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides.
Alicorn magic, will fill the sky,
Sirens songs, will sing there goodbyes,
Now little pony, close your sleepy eyes,
You'll never lose your home,
You'll never lose your guides
You'll never lose your guide."
