Separation Anxiety
Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Day The Band Broke Up
Load Full Story Next ChapterCanterlot High had been through a lot over the past year. First they discovered school bully Sunset Shimmer was actually a rogue unicorn from another dimension, then a reformed Sunset and her friends saved the school and potentially the world from a group of power hungry sirens. After that there were the friendship games which ended in near all of reality being torn to shreds, and even at summer camp the students had to deal with one of their councilors being possessed by some crazy nature spirit. Sufficed to say the students of Canterlot High had been through alot, but despite all of that none of it scared them more then what they saw right now.
Remember those Sirens, yea well they had come back to Canterlot High recently, apparently they were reformed now or close enough to it that Principles Celestia & Luna assured their students they weren't a threat to the school. So like with Sunset or Twilight or anybody else with magical powers the students of CHS eventually got used to The Dazzlings being around. The three girls mostly kept to themselves sitting and talking to the schools resident heroes The Rainbooms during lunch, going to class and each having their own clubs they went to after, but outside of their respective club memberships the students knew to always expect the three to be together, but today, on this random Wednesday morning things were different, disturbingly different. Instead of being with her sisters, Sonata Dusk, the bubbliest and arguably nicest of the sirens was walking down the hall with a student, her arms wrapped around his, a giant smile on her face, the rest of the student body staring on in horror.
"OK, now that's not right!" Lyra exclaimed in disbelief
"When did she even have the time to hook-up with him?" Bon-Bon added looking at her girlfriend in equal confusion
"I dunno, I think it's kinda cute" Derpy added
"I just hope her sisters don't find out or we might be in trouble" Flash Sentry gulped
"Trixie does not need this, she already has a math test to worry about" Trixie Lulamoon pouted
"Whatever the case, something tells me this won't end well" Octavia chimed in as she did her best to hide behind Viynl. The students all looking on as the lovey dovey couple continued to stroll down the hall.
"I can't believe that bitch would abandon us like that!" Aria huffed as she slammed her locker closed with a huff.
"Calm down, no need to make a scene Aria" Adagio scolded trying to get her little sister to calm down.
"Calm Down!? Calm Down!?" Aria shrieked. "We promised mom we'd always stay together, always look out for each other! And that bimbo just ditches us! Just spites in our dead mother's face!" Aria angrily growled waving her hand in the air, the large math book flailing around as students passing by did their best to avoid being hit by it.
"First off" Adagio replied as she cleared her throat " Mom told us to look out for each other true, but she didn't say we had to be attached at the hip like conjoined twins er triplits." Adagio replied putting her finger up to Aria's mouth to shush her. "Second off, you know as well as I do this is just a phase, just like Tacos or Kittens. She'll eventually lose interest in him and come crawling back, so no need to worry, everything will be ok, your big sis promises" Adagio mockingly reassured Aria patting her on the head.
"You're only the big sister by three minutes" Aria growled.
" Perhaps, but i'm still the leader of the pack and I say it's no big deal, so chill, we have a class to get to." Adagio mischievously chuckled as she motioned for Aria to come along. Meanwhile one Juniper Montage who's locker was regretfully next to The Dazzlings was still frozen in place. She hadn't been at the school long, but if half of what she had heard was true, Aria Blaze being in a bad or in this case worse mood then usual was not good, not good for anyone at CHS. Juniper gulped as a cold sweat ran down her face and she ran off to her history class as fast as she could, hoping and praying nothing bad would happen.
The cafeteria was full of the sound of students chattering, laughing and just generally enjoying one another's company. Despite the tense mood of the morning things seem to have become more relaxed by now. Well most things, as one particular student Aria Blaze was still unsurprisingly quite upset.
"Um, has she been like this all morning?" Sunset asked Adagio with a concerned look as she pointed to Aria who was gritting her teeth and stabbing her burger with a plastic fork as hard as she could.
"Sadly, yes" Adagio sighed. "I've tried my best to calm her down, but it seems nothing works."
"Well, perhaps we could help" Twilight offered as she pushed up her glasses.
"Yea, no thanks four-eyes" Aria growled "Unless you know a spell to make that bitch's boy toy dissapear" She deviously chuckled as she grabbed the plastic knife and stabbed it into the heart of her tofu burger
Twilight just gulped "Oh, my"
"So anything in particular in yer craw more so then usual to make yea such a potentially murderous psychopath ta-day?" Applejack asked looking over at Aria
"Why don't you go over and ask Sonata!" Aria scowled as she grabbed the plastic utinsle and pointed over at the other side of the room where Sonata Dusk was sitting with a group of students.
"Oh my, is that Sonata over there with Sandlewood and his crew?" Rarity asked in surprise.
"Yea, looks like it" Rainbow Dash answered looking over at the group of earthy students.
"Whatever is she doing over there?" Fluttershy asked.
"The Blue Bitch thinks she's too good for us now apparently" Aria growled "She'd rather spend time buttering up some wanna be eco-activist with pea-pod hair and his loser friends then be with us I guess" Aria finished with a deep angry scowl on her face.
"Oh, it's so nice to see people make new friends!" Pinkie Pie cheered, Aria instantly giving her a death stare "...eh, or not" Pinkie stuttered as she sank back down and scooted closer to Rainbow Dash.
"Apparently Sonata thinks she has a crush on the little human" Adagio chuckled "Aria as you can tell is not taking it well" she chuckled once more.
"O-Oh, well-um, you know whenever my brother Zeypher and I have a problem we usually try to talk it out, i-if Sonata is upsetting you Aria, maybe you should try talking to her" The shy girl chimed in.
"You know butterfly boobs, that's not such a bad idea" Aria cooed with a flat out evil grin on her face.
"Fluttershy darling, I-I think that may have been the worst idea you could have given a very angry magical creature at this moment" Rarity whispered over to her friend. "Oh my" Fluttershy gulped as she and the others watched Aria get-up and slowly walk over to Sandalwood and co's table. Adagio just rolling her eyes. There was nothing she could do now, she just had to let this scene play out and hopefully Aria would finally get it out of her system.
Aria slowly walked over to the table her sister Sonata and her "new friends" were hanging out at, every step growing heavier as the anger inside her grew and she clinched her fists. Her aura practically explosive by the time she arrived at her destination.
"Hey Sonata, what yea doing?" Aria asked doing the best to hide the quite obvious anger and agitation in her voice.
"Oh, hey Ari!" Sonata happily cheered as if she didn't have a care in the world. "I'm just getting better acquinted with Sandy and his friends" The happy siren chuckled as she squeezed her new boyfriend's arm tight.
"Oh, is that so." Aria replied her voice cracking a bit as she was still attempting to hold back her contempt.
"yea, this is Tree Hugger." Aria explained as she pointed to the lime green skinned girl with red hair. "and this is Sweet Leaf and Captain Planet" she finished pointing to the other teens at the table. "His real name isn't Captain Planet though, that's just what he likes to be called, apparently its some old cartoon reference or something" Sonata chuckled at her sister.
"he, cute" Aria growled.
"Oh and of course you already know Sandalwood here" She squeed as she hugged her new beau even tighter.
"Yea, I think we have English lit together right?" Aria growled.
"uhh, yea, I think." Sandalwood nervously replied being the only one in the group to notice the seething anger eminating from the siren.
"Well, nice to meet you then I guess" Aria smiled, giving the boy a look of pure hatred.
"u-um yea, same" Sandalwood gulped.
"Oh Ari, i'm so glad you and Dagi like him. Sandy invited me to spend the night at his house and I said yes. I was kind of afraid to tell you, but since you haven't tried to destroy him yet I guess you're cool right!?" Sonata cheerfully asked her sister.
Aria could feel the anger inside her about to explode as the gemstone in her palm began to glow. All of a sudden Rainbow Dash popped-up behind her "Ahh, I need help-with-a thing-c'mon Aria" She stated as she quickly whisked the enraged girl away to the closest hall restroom.
"Why did you do that!?" Aria shrieked at Rainbow Dash
"Because you were totally about to explode!" Rainbow Dash angrily huffed back
"eerrrr.....rrraaauugghhh" Aria screeched as the anger inside her peaked and she ponied-up.
"Hey, Aria, seriously, calm down!" Rainbow Begged
"That Bitch! That Bimbo, that stupid slut has bigger boobs then she does a brain!" Aria growled in contempt.
"How dare she think she can just act like everything is hunky-dory when she is flat out betraying us like this!" Aria sceamed as she began to levitate her clear wings fully out as in attack mode.
"Aria, seriously, you gotta calm down before!...." But it was too late, Aria let out a loud shriek as bright red echos of energy came out of the sirens mouth and the entire room shook, mirrors breaking and sinks cracking spouting water everywhere.
"Before you break something" Rainbow Dash finished with a sigh looking up at the enraged siren still floating her eyes red with rage as she huffed and punched at the air.
"I am so not paying to fix any of this" Rainbow Muttered as she looked around at the broken glass and cracked sinks.
Adagio and Aria set on the couch in Sunset's loft waiting for their sister.
"Where is that bitch?" Aria angrily huffed.
"Calm down, she'll be here, you know Sonata never misses family meal night" Adagio reassured her. "She is the one who suggested it after all" Adagio chuckled remembering how Sonata had gotten the bright idea from some sitcom that the girls should go out and eat together once a week.
"Yea, well she better get here soon, i'm starving" Aria pouted.
"Don't worry i'm sure Sonata will be here soon enough" Sunset chimed in as she finished packing her bag. "Meanwhile I have a study session with Twilight" the bacon haired girl smiled.
"Ahh yes, you and Ms. Sparkle have been having quite a few of these all night study sessions lately" Adagio cooed in a sultry tone. Sunset merely blushing in reply.
"Well, you know, we both just ah, really really like calculus" Sunset nervously chuckled.
"Uh huh, sure." Adagio nodded "well have fun, and tell ol SciTwi I said hi." Adagio mocked as she waved at Sunset who was trying to hide her beet-red face as she walked out the door.
Thirty more minutes passed but finally the two sisters saw Sonata walk in.
"About Damn Time!" Aria huffed as she angrily stomped up to her sister. "Where yea been Sonny, Dag and I have been waiting forever!" She huffed.
"Oh, sorry about that" Sonata smiled. "I went to get a bite with Sandy and his crew before I came back to get ready for my sleep over!" Sonata happily chuckled.
"You did what!" Aria angrily growled
"Here we go again" Adagio sighed.
"I-I got a bite to eat with m-my new friends" Sonata nervously squeed,
"You stupid bitch!" Aria screeched "It's family night, your own stupid air-headed idea, we waited for you to get home so we could go eat and you already ate without us!" Aria growled quite infuriated with her sister.
"Oh my goodness, i'm sorry Ari-I-I completely forgot." The blue skinned siren stuttered
"I don't wanna hear it yea stupid slut!" Aria screamed. "We bend over backwards to keep your dumb ass happy and this is how you repay us!" Aria howled
Sonata stopped and stared intensely at her sister. Her usual happy and bubbly smile now replaced with her serious-mode look. "Hey, now that's not fair, I know I messed-up but what gives you the right to call me names like that, especially a slut, you call me a lot of mean things Ari, but that-that's over the line!" Sonata huffed.
"Oh, is it now birdbrain?" Aria mockingly asked. "Don't think I don't know what you were really chowing down on tonight" Aria evil laughed at Sonata
"OK, that's it, i'm done, i'm leaving!" Sonata growled. "I was gonna spend my time with my sisters before I went over to Sandalwood's but screw that shit, i'm done with you Ari, i'm done with your name calling and your bullying. I am not stupid, I am not a bitch or a bimbo or an airhead and I am especially not a slut!" Sonata growled back at her sister as she opened up her bag and began to put her things inside. "I do things my own way, like Pinkie, i'm a free spirit, and you-you're just a prisoner to our own anger and insecurities. y-you just need to check yourself before you wreck yourself!" Sonata sniffled.
"Oh, wow, how long you been waiting to use that line sis?" Aria mockingly asked Sonata.
"Long enough" Sonata huffed
"Oh, will you two just stop it already" Adagio intervened.
"Y-you be quite too Dagi!" Sonata interuppted
"Excuse me?" Adagio huffed, looking at her sister quite seriously.
"Y-you heard me. You're just as bad as Ari, you may not cuss me out or bully me, but you still think i'm some dumb air-headed baby, but i'm not. Y-you know Sandy and his friends, they-they appreciate me. I-I think i'm just gonna stay with him from now on." Sonata whined as she finished packing her bag and ran out the door.
"Well, that could have gone better" Adagio sighed. "C'mon i'm starved lets go get something to..." But as Adagio laid her hand on Aria's shoulder she could feel her sister's entire body shaking. She looked over and expected to see her typical enraged face, but instead she saw Aria just looking straight forward, her teeth barred as she bit her lip and hot,wet tears rolled down her face. Adagio couldn't believe it, ARIA WAS CRYING!?
