Separation Anxiety
Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Night The Blaze Fizzled Out; Nightmares of A Siren
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAdagio still couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her sister Aria Blaze; the self appointed bad girl, the punk, the no nonsense taking fierce siren just standing there bawling. It had been years since she had seen Aria cry and she was convinced that the girl just wasn't even capable of having any setting other then angry, but it looked like she was wrong.
"A-aria," Adagio stuttered, a concerned look on her face. Her sister still not moving. Adagio moved infront of her still frozen sister and put both her hands on her shoulders. "OK, so...." Adagio sighed "Y-you wanna talk about it, or do you just wanna stand and stare at the door all night."
Aria blinked, seemingly finally snapping out of it. "Adagio-I-I-ah." Aria stuttered as she realized she had been crying and began to wipe away the tears from her eyes. "Whatever, lets go eat" She pouted, but Adagio didn't move.
"Nuh, uh, we aren't going anywhere till you let what you need to get out well, out" Adagio sternly stated. "Yelling at Sonata obviously isn't helping anything this time, so I hate to do this, but until you get whatever chip is actually on your shoulder i'm not letting you go anywhere little sis." Adagio deviously smiled.
Aria just looked down at the floor and clenched her fists. She hated feeling weak, hated feeling like this, but she knew Adagio was right, if she didn't get this off her chest it was just gonna keep eating at her.
"I-I....." Aria stuttered.
"Yes, go on." Adagio encouraged
" I DON'T WANNA BE ALONE, OK!" Aria screeched right at her sister's face.
Adagio's eyes went wide, not expecting such a loud reply. "OK, first off ow, i'm literally right in front of you, second off, what in Neptune's name are you even talking about!?" Adagio huffed looking at her sister who was once again in tears.
"Y-you know exactly what i'm talking about" Aria sobbed. "T-that bimbo, of course it was only a matter of time till someone at that stupid school noticed her like that. I mean look at her, she's got huge tits, and she's stupid and bubbly and cheery just like those dumb teenagers like" Aria sniffled.
Adagio just stared at her sister unsure to chuckle at the comment or scold her for further insulting her sister when she wasn't even here.
"And then there's you, your tall, and confident and beautiful! People respect you, and those hips, i've seen the way those humans stare at you. It's just a matter of time till some guy or girl catches your eye too, and then-and then...." Aria stuttered.
"And then what?" Adagio asked, feeling she already knew the answer.
"And then i'll be alone!" Aria sobbed.
"And why is that?" Adagio curiously asked.
"Cause i'm just the runt. I'm just the girl with the stupid Hatsune Miku pigtails and the pancake boobs, the girl that barks and bites and scares the stupid humans or magical girls, or anything else that would want to even try to be my friend away." Aria growled pulling her pigtails and greeting her teeth.
Adagio couldn't help but chuckle at this point.
"Whats so funny!?" Aria angrily growled.
"First off, while I appreciate the compliments about my own beauty, you really shouldn't be so hard on yourself Aria." Adagio replied as she embraced her sister. The smaller siren's face now buried in Adagio's chest. "Second off, if those humans or Rainbooms can't see what an amazing person you are then that's on them." She chuckled "And finally, humans aren't really my speed, unlike Sonata I don't have any desire to date someone without Equestrian Magic.....and Sunset sadly seems to be smitten with this world's Twilight, so looks like i'm not going anywhere." She smiled.
Aria just looked up at Adagio, uncertain of how to respond.
"Well, now that that's settled, lets go get something to eat" Adagio commanded as she grabbed Aria's hand and started to pull her out the door.
Later that night Adagio & Aria set on their or more precisely Sunset's couch/ fold out bed as they set and watched a late night talk show.
"You know I think this Cheese Sandwhich guy is starting to run out of material" Adagio commented as she took a sip of her water putting the glass back on the nightstand afterward.
"Huh, oh, yea....whatever" Aria replied obviously off in her own little world.
Adagio just sighed. It seems that despite the little heart to heart they had Aria was still not quite over her fight with Sonata from earlier.
"OK, guess I have to bring out the big guns." Adagio chuckled as she hopped out of the bed and walked towards a chest in the corner of the room, rummaging through the container full of her and her sisters things.
"What are you doing now?" Aria curiously groaned.
"I'm cheering you up, that's what" Adagio deviously smiled as she finally found what she was looking for, pulling out the stuffed squid and smiling.
Aria just huffed "I'm not a baby Adagio, I don't need some stuffed toy to cheer me up, even if it is almost an exact replica of the one I had as a pup" she stated.
"Hmm, ok, guess i'll just junk it then." Adagio smirked as she walked towards the trash can.
"Wait!" Aria shouted. "Fine, I-i'll take the stupid thing-for tonight anyway." She blushed. Adagio just smiled as she through the stuffed creature over to her sister, crawling back into bed and turning off the lamp.
"Well, I don't know about you, but i'm beat." She yawned as she wiggled under the covers to get herself perfectly comfortable. "Night" she said as she blew Aria's stuffed squid a kiss.
"Whatever" Aria huffed as she to settled down to try to go to sleep. Maybe at the very least she would have a fun dream about beating the snot out of Sandalwood, or so she hoped. Sadly as we all know, life or in this case dreams, don't always turn out the way we want.
"Ms. Blaze, would you like to tell us why you are such a bad sister?" A voice huffed
"huh-what?" Aria blinked looking around the classroom.
"I said Ms. Blaze, why do you think you are such a bad sister and a generally all around bad person?" Ms. Cherilee asked again.
"Wha-what the Hell kind of question is that!?" Aria angrily huffed. "what give you the right too!?" All of a sudden Aria noticed that something was off. She looked around the classroom and saw all the other students, staring at her, their eyes dead, all just looking at her, completely silent. "OK, what the hell is going on here, what is wrong with...." Before Aria could finish however Fluttershy got up from her desk and grabbed the siren by the neck. "I told you, you need to learn to talk your problems out." She sweetly said as she choked the siren.
"I-I tried, you-b-bitch, now let me go!" Aria gagged.
"Trying isn't good enough" Fluttershy growled as she threw Aria down onto her desk. The siren feeling the hard wood against her back and screeching. Everything going black.
Aria opened her eyes and there was nothing, no classroom, no teacher, no students, just black emptiness.
"You shoulda been a better sister" She heard a voice mock.
Aria turned around and saw Sonata in the most ridiculously skimpy bikini sitting on Sandalwood's lap. Both of them just staring devilishly at Aria. Sandalwood's hands groping Sonata's breasts.
"Ge-get away from her you stupid hairless ape, d-don't touch her like that!" Aria screamed as she tried to run towards the two, her efforts proving fruitless however as she found herself stuck in place by some unseen force.
"Aww, jealous Ari" Sonata laughingly mocked as she licked her lips and began to kiss Sandalwood's neck.
"Y-you dingbat, c-can't you see, h-he's just using you for your body, he's a human, they-they're animals they don't love anyone but themselves!" Aria cried.
"heh, look who's talking" Sonata mocked as she continued to make out with the green-haired fiend. All of a sudden unzipping his pants and revealing the quite large girth inside.
"Don't you dare slut!" Aria screamed.
"Sorry Ari, time to ride the pony" Sonata cooed as she positioned herself over Sandalwood's less then little partner
"Oh, gross i'm gonna puke" Aria gagged once again as she stood there and was forced to watch her sister Sonata do unspeakable things to the human whelp. Hearing Sonata's laugh grow ever louder until everything went black again.
Hey, Aria, you ok?" Adagio asked as she stared at her sister with a concerned look. Aria looked around confused and noticed she was in the hall of the school by her locker. "Oh, ahh-yea, sure-I guess" Aria stuttered unsure of what just happend. "Oh, good, OK Sonata, let's go." Adagio replied looking past Aria and motioning for their sister to come along. Aria trying to follow as well, but once again unable to move, looking down and seeing the ground slowly swallowing her.
"W-wait, h-help" Aria begged her sisters
"Sorry Ari, but we don't need you anymore, we have real friends now" Sonata laughed as Sandalwood and his crew appeared next to the blue siren and the Rainbooms next to Adagio.
"Shoulda been a better sister" Sonata sang
"Wait, s-stop, no, I-I can be good, I can be better, I-I Promise!" Aria pleaded as the ground continued to suck her in.
"Sorry Ari, too little too late." Sonata chuckled
"N-no please" Aria sobbed as she watched her sisters walk away before sinking down into the floor.
Aria looked up she felt as if she was sinking further and further down, she couldn't breath, all she could do was cry as she looked up and saw through a hole of light above, her sisters and the Rainbooms staring down at her, laughing and pointing. Aria tried to beg for help but she couldn't speak, all she could do was sink down into the inky black nothing.
"Gasp" Aria breathed heavily as she woke-up, her body shaking in a cold sweat as she looked around. She was safe, she was back in Sunset's loft, her sister Adagio sleeping soundly by her side. "S-stupid nightmares" Aria muttered under her breath as she stared at the clock noting it was only 4:00 A.M.
Still breathing heavily Aria did her best to regain her composure. "I-it was just a dream, s-stop shaking dummy" She scolded herself as she squeezed her stuffed squid tighter and tighter "B-but its not like it was wrong" she admitted. "M-maybe if I had been better, maybe Sonata wouldn't have left" Aria sobbed as she looked over at the sleeping Adagio. "I, I know she said not to worry b-but..." Aria paused, her breathing still heavy. "I-I can't lose her too, I won't i'll be a good sister, I will, you'll see" Aria stated as if responding to some invisible force she felt was still mocking her. "Y-You'll all see."
Adagio rolled around and yawned as she stretched and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw in front of her some humanoid shape. "Wha-what!" Adagio jumped up and blinked the sleep away from her eyes. In front of her standing at the foot of her bed was Aria, but at the same time, not quite Aria. Her sister's hair wasn't done up in its usual pigtails but still long and straight like it was at night, her usual bright punk-rock look replace with a simple black t-shirt with a picture of a skull and crossbones with heart-shaped eyes and a cutesy arrow going through the middle. Below a simple pair of faded jeans, no holes, no glitter or bedazzled designs, just simple jeans. And from what she could already guess probably just some plain black and white tennis shoes below that.
"Uh, morning sis" Aria nervously stuttered looking down at the floor clasping her hands together.
"Uh, hey, yeah, um, sup" Adagio awkwardly replied.
"I, I-uh made you breakfast" Aria replied, pointing over to the table at the loft which had a plate of eggs, bacon and toast in Adagio's usual seat and a glass of orange juice.
"Uh-thanks" Adagio replied still rather confused. It seemed like whatever was up with Aria was far from over.
Next Chapter: Chapter 2.5: A Short Summation of What Sonata Was Up To Estimated time remaining: 58 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Poor Aria, so afraid of losing the sister she has left she's willing to change her entire personality. C'mon Ari you know we all love you for who you are. Oh well, can't have a story with out conflict and characters acting silly and refusing to listen to reason.
Thanks again for reading, as always will try to fix errors later.
Edit: OK so I know the show has all the character models the same size but personally I always imagine Adagio being the tallest with Aria & Sonata being up to her chest and Aria being the defacto shortest by being a single CM shorter then Sonata. So yea, yay for silly head canons I guess.
Next time. A very awkward school day.
