The Story of -F
Chapter 32: Somethings don't change
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAdagio stood in disbelief, she couldn't move her feet. Sunset didn't move from her scared pose. Sunset barely opened her mouth to speak when Adagio bolted. She ran around Sunset and straight into the forest. She wasn't even 20 feet away when her breath died.
Minutes passed, she had not stop running in those minutes. When her high heels stopped running, the crushing of leaves and twigs didn't. Sunset was coming after her. Adagio looked around for any transportation or communication she could use. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
"Adagio?" Sunsets voice called in the forest, the twig snapping still heard.
Adagio looked up from her thoughts. She looked behind her, Sunset wasn't in the distance. Thorns pressed into Adagios leg as she climbed over a bush. Adagio bit her tounge at the pain. That's when the sign came into view. Forerunner flight trains, 8:00 pm- 6:00 am.
Adagio eyed her cell phone. It was 5:59. She could still make it. Track payed off, she ran wherever the arrows on the trees pointed, because those seemed really trustworthy. They glow, Adagio thought. City must have put them in. Finally came the yelling of the man at the front. "All abored!"
Adagio looked at the man in suprise. "I don't have cash and I need this ride-"
"Your that girl who got kidnapped right?" He asked, rubbing his mustache. Adagio nodded, gasping for breath and continuously looking back. "Hop abored, it's all right."
Adagio smiled and nodded her head to show thanks. Then she jumped abored and sat down. She was the only one on the train. It figured, it was six o'clock in the morning. The train went Choo Choo and Adagio knew it would be a long ride.
Sence Adagio was alone, she knew this would be a time to get her emotions out. She put her knees on the seat and began to sob into them. She betrayed us, she joined F! She ruined all we had. She ruined us! I thought she loved me! I was wrong. I've never been more wrong. She's a backstabber. I can never forgive her-
Adagio looked up as she felt someone sit next to her. She clutched her bag with the book and looked at the person. It was Sunset Shimmer. Adagio scooted down the seat, tears in her eyes and fear on her face.
"Adagio, Adagio, please let me explain!" Sunset begged.
"No!" Adagio cried, tears streaming down her face. "Your a liar Sunset! A betrayer!"
"I only did it to find out who F was, F.5 was always a joke, I never acknowledged the name-"
"You've been writing to F about everything! All our pains, all our secrets!" Adagio ripped the book out of her backpack. "Who is F!"
"I don't know I only have talked to her through the book, look Adagio, I will destroy the book-"
"Destroy it? DESTROY IT!" Adagios face became tomato red. "I'm going to memorize every word of this!" Sunset stood silent, tears in eyes. "I'm am never going to destroy this until F is gone, dead!"
"Adagio, I'm so sorry-"
"What was worth ruining out friendship! Our relationship!" Adagio put the book back in her bag.
Sunset nodded, tears streaming down her face, "It wasn't supposed to be this way, let me explain."
"You lied about your human counterpart! She's dead! Gone! Why did you-"
"Adagio-"
"I thought it was 100% honest!" Adagio shouted. Sunset sat silent, mouth open tears in her eyes. Adagio kept the angrey expression one her face. "I hate you Sunset!"
Those words burned in Sunset like fire. They made her body feel numb. Sunset blinked away tears, she knew this couldn't be fixed. Adagio grabbed her bag, got up, and left Sunset in the train, feeling just as she did after she got blasted into a crater by Twilight.

"So, Scootaloos Aunt won't let you tell her about Sasha?" Fluttershy asked.
"Nope." Aria said, as she helped Fluttershy unpack her hospital stuff. "Where's Adagio? And when will your mom be home?"
"She thinks you're strong so you can protect me, so she's at the grocery store. Adagio is another story." Fluttershy closed her clothe drawer.
"Your neat." Aria commented, picking up Angel Bunny.
"Thanks. Having a lot of animals, it's more like a natural habit."
"Do you think Scootaloo will find out on her own?" Aria said, getting back on topic.
"No." Fluttershy anwsered. "Well maybe. Ms Cheerilie kind of hinted it to her."
"Ms. Cheerilie was off for a real long time, before we found out Scootaloo was Speed." Aria looked at some animal books Fluttershy had. "I think she was clueless."
Fluttershy giggled. "She gives us grades for Study hall, more then clueless-" the door opened and shut in Fluttershys house. "Mom?"
High heels clicked against the floor. It wasn't Fluttershys mom, she wore flats mostly. Soon, Adagios face appeared in the door. She had obviously been crying for a long time.
Aria stood up immediately, "What's wrong?"
Adagio ran to Aria and began sobbing in her arms. Fluttershy stood up immediately and patted her sholder. "What's wrong, Adagio?"
"Shes a liar! She's a betrayer!" She cried, wiping her tears away.
"Who?" Both Aria and Fluttershy asked.
"Sunset." Adagio stopped crying to peep out that word. "She's F.5."
Aria and Fluttershy gave glances over Adagios sholder. "Are you sure?" Fluttershy felt her heart pounding. She hopped that she was wrong.
Adagio ripped the book out. "She's been writing F."
While Fluttershy read, tears formed in her eyes. "Twilight was wrong. She never changed!" Fluttershy threw the book into her bed in anger. She burried her head in her knees and let out a sob.
Aria reacted in blankness. Sunset slapped her when she said Adagio was F, Sunset was one who helped her threw Adagios 'death', Sunset had really became her good friend. Aria felt as she felt when the Rainbooms blasted her pendent into pieces.

Applebloom sat on Applejacks bed , watching her unpack, in complete silents. She fought in her mind whether of not if she should ask about what happened. Nobody yet in her family had the heart to ask anything other then 'Would you like water?" and "Are you feeling queasy?". Nobody also asked where Applebloom had magically disappeared to the night the girls escaped. She couldn't say she was helping break them out because she was Salvage because Granny or Big Mac would make her tell the police, then bam: jail.
Applejack turned around and gave her a glance. "You never told me why you took off after you saved my life."
"Scootaloo didn't want to run into trouble. Which wouldn't of happened if she just told the police about Speed, Salvage and Talent." Applebloom sighed. "Honestly, sometimes I hate her real bad. She's so bossy and she tells me I'm rude sometimes. Like bitch!" Applebloom threw clothe into the drawer, "Please."
"Well, maybe you are sometimes. You kept lying even though Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo admitted to breaking into the school." Applejack shrugged.
Applebloom nodded. "Maybe you're right. I'm probably the reason she became F."
"It was supposed to be a prank or something." Applejack zipped her suitcase up.
"I feel as if everything would be fine without me-"
"No!" Applejack cried, knowing what those words she said meant. "Don't say that!!!"
"Sunset said that while she was talking to her doctor yesterday."
"Why?" Applejack complaimed, putting her suitcase in a closet.
"Something about betrayal. And how she was scared-"
"We've got bad news." Adagio said, as her and Fluttershy appeared in the door.
"What?" Applebloom asked.
"First of all, no more unknown text to me, F texted as you smarty," Adagio threw her phone at her, "F.5 is Sunset."
"Well, that explains why she felt as a betrayer." Applejack shrugged.
"She's been writing F. About everything." Fluttershy wipped a tear away.
Applebloom stood up. "Guys, do you ever think human Sonata knew Sunset was F.5 so that's why she trashed her on the stand during the trial? To through the criminal into jail?"
"How did you come up with that so fast?" Adagio asked.
"I was thinking about Harmony, the girl Sonata told me about. And Allegro came to me. On the topic of Harmony, where's Aria?"
"Right here." Aria walked in and sat on her bed.
"Scootaloo got these files for me in Equestria. Yes she broke back into Equestria." Applebloom ripped a folder out from under her bed and headed them to Aria.
"What is this?" Aria asked.
"Are you guys sure the name is Harmony Flames? Same last name as Sasha Flames? That's physically impossible." Applebloom opened the folder.
Adagio nodded. "Me and Sonata sare it."
"Sare it. You sare the name Harmony Flames. Because F did something in there that felt like fire, you thought of Flames instead of the real last name."
"When did you get good at science?" Applejack asked, stunned.
"It's called reading," Applejack bit her tounge so she wouldn't laugh. "It's educational-"
"You read! Ha!" Applejack laughed.
"Her name is Harmony Blaze. Not Harmony Flames." Applebloom stated, crossing her legs and arms.
"Why does she have my last name? I don't even know her." Aria said, in her grumpy tone.
"Well... you see..."
Aria gave her a hurry tf up look. "Aria, Harmony is your daughter."
Aria paused for a moment then broke out into laughter. "I don't have a daughter!"
"You, Sonata, and Adagio were brainwashed." Applebloom handed Aria the files. Her expression went sick, relizing Applebloom most likely wasn't joking.
Aria took the top paper off and examined it. It was a birth certificate that clearly stated Aria Blaze was the mother of Harmony Blaze.

"It's been a real long time sence I could relax here and drink coffee." Pinkie Pie told Sonata.
Sonata nodded. "I've never had coffee."
"It makes you really, REALLY, HYPER!" The pinked hair optimist exclaimed.
"And it's making me feel sick, ugh this smells." Sonata covered her nose. "I'm gonna get a Dr. Pepper." She smiled as she got up and walked to the register.
"Hi, can I get a Dr. Pepper please?" Sonata asked the girl who had long, beautiful, curly, black hair.
"Sure." The girl said kindly, getting a can from a cooler under the register. She opened it and handed it to Sonata. Being very wet, Sonata dropped it on the ground by accident. Sonata stepped back as it did get on her skirt. Red,blood red. Sonata looked at the liquid on the floor.
She had a flashback. "Rainbow!" Fluttershy yelled as she went upstairs with Sonata. More blood, a more horrid smell. Sonata went into Rainbows bed room, which which had more blood. But not just blood, a lung, all kidneys, and a heart. Fluttershy held in her vomit as she cried the other girls names. Sonata began to call 911.
Sonata stepped back tears in her eyes, remembering the horrorid moment she truly relized F's power. The girl looked at her in a calm, suprised, confused away.
"It's okay," the girl assured. "I can get another one."
"No... no thank you." Sonata gulped down a mix of nerves and throw up. She turned around and went back to her table.
"Are you okay?" Pinkie Pie asked, standing up to comfort her.
"Not, not really." Sonata shook her head as she lead the way out of the restaurant.
"Guys?" Sunset patted Pinkies sholder.
"Hey! How's life bud?"
"Do you guys know?" Sunset had a worried expression on her face.
"Know what?" Sonata asked, wiping the last of her tears away.
"Were you going to leave them in the dark as well?" Adagio had her arms crossed, behind Sunset.
Sunset turned around to face Adagio. "I - I was going to tell them-"
Adagio leaned to her side so she could see Sonata and Pinkie. "Sunsets F.5." Adagio leaned back in. "You happy? I just did the easy part for you."
"Wait, WHAT?" Pinkie screamed.
"Can't you just leave me alone?" Sunset asked in sorrow.
"Oh gee I don't know, maybe I should, don't want to give you an essay to write to F!" Adagio yelled, not caring who heard.
"Adagio, calm down." Fluttershy told her, putting a hand on her sholder. Adagio shook it off.
"I lied about so much in the book! I only became F.5 to help find out who F was, because I cared about us! Do you know how sad I was when you died? I though you changed! After the battle of the bands, after Rainbow, after being trapped in that maze! But no Adagio! You're still the same bitch!"
Adagio gasped. "I'm the bitch? Me?"
"I thought you where a victim." Sunset paused. "I also thought 100% honest. You can begin with-"
"You can begin with shutting your mouth!" Adagio yelled, smacking Sunset across the face. Sunset reacted immediately, scratching Adagio across the face. Adagio stumbled back and then glanced at Sunset. "You fucking bitch, Shimmer!"
Adagio bolted at Sunset and threw her onto the ground. Sunset threw her down to the ground. Sunset was powerless because Adagio was so strong. Adagio slapped her repeatedly. "You-*Slap*-Are-*Slap*-A fucking- *Slap*- trator!"
"Hey, hey!" The girl at the register and another girl with medium length curly blonde hair grabbed Adagio and ripped her off of Sunset. Then Sunset tried to bolt at Adagio. The blonde girl held her back.
"Hey, hey hey!" The blonde one yelled, "is this really the solution?"
"You a traitor!" Adagio cried, trying to break the register girls grip.
"I'm sorry Adagio..." Sunset had tears in her eyes.
"That's only for show, fuck that!" Adagio broke register girls grip and then ran outside.
Sunset eyed all her friends, sorrow in her eyes but a touch of evil, then turned around and exited the shop, leaving all the girls in a new sort of fear.
