Adagio sighed as she walked down the street, her sister Aria literally right behind her. It had been like this all morning, her once fierce and fiery sister was now acting as shy and meek as Fluttershy. Infact Aria hadn't said hardly a word all morning after Adagio had woken-up to the now apparently silent siren nervously telling her that she had prepared breakfast and later asking if she liked it after she had finished, Adagio of course just nodding yes as she was still uncertain of what exactly was going on and didn't want to make whatever this was worse, and hey Aria was surprisingly actually a decent cook.

"Ugg, I don't know what to do" Adagio angrily thought to herself as she rubbed her hand against her forehead. "I feel like i'm in the damn Twilight Zone!" She internally chuckled. "Oh well, i'm sure i'll think of something eventually, who knows, maybe Sunset and her silly little friends will have an idea" Adagio reassured herself as she looked back at Aria who was still just quietly walking in Adagio's shadow, her hands stuffed down in the pockets of her hoodie her long straight hair flowing in the wind as she looked down at the ground as she followed behind.

Adagio and Aria walked through the halls of Canterlot High the other students looking on unsure of what to think, it was bad enough the group was a siren short, but now one had changed their look. What did this mean? Was Canterlot high in danger? Why was Aria being so quite? The students gossiped in attempted hushed tones and whispers. "mind your own business yea brats" Adagio thought to herself as she and Aria walked to their lockers. All of a sudden though the siren leader found herself interrupted as she saw a Rainbow swoosh appear in front of her. "Morning Dazzlings whats up!" Rainbow cheerfully asked as she smiled at the girls before noticing Aria looked rather out of sorts. "Ahh....what's up with her?" Rainbow rudely asked.

Adagio just nervously chuckled as she pulled Rainbow over to the side "Listen, Aria and Sonata got into a bit of a...tiff last night" Adagio stated "It was a bit, worse then usual and between that and the whole Sandalwood thing, I-I don't think she's in a good place right now, so just, I dunno, be gentle with her OK?" Adagio told the pegasus powered teen.

"Oh, ah-ok, sure thing" Rainbow replied as she looked over at Aria and waved, the now shy siren just looking down at the ground and raising her hand in kind as response.

"Well-ah see you guys at lunch I guess" Rainbow quickly responed as she ran off.

Adagio just rolled her eyes, "C'mon Aria, let's get to class" the puffy haired girl huffed.

"Ah- ok sis" Aria quietly rasped in reply.

Adagio walked into the classroom and looked around. Sure enough Sonata was sitting there in her usual spot, Adagio admitted to herself she had kind of hoped Sonata would've been to scared of the repercussions of last nights argument to come to school today, but there was nothing she could do about it now. She just walked to her seat with Aria trailing behind deciding it would be best if she set between the two today, signaling to Aria to take what would have usually been Adagio's seat in front of the two, Aria just nodding and quietly sitting down.

"Morning Dagi" Sonata happily chuckled as if nothing had happened.

Adagio turned around prepared to chew out her sister, but thankfully or unthankfully depending on how you view it Mr. Cranky walked in before she could start and told the class to open their books. Adagio just growled under her breath. It was bad enough having to start the day in a math class, but having to start a day in a math class sitting between one sister who obviously had something broken inside of her and the other to air-headed to care was even worse.

The Lunchroom boomed with the ususal chatter and laughter of the students, everyone going about their day as usual, save for on table, the Rainbooms table where the group couldn't help but stare at the rather silent Aria Blaze as she just looked down into her food and slowly stirred her mac n cheese with a plastic fork. Adagio just finishing up her apple juice in one big swig before turning over to her sister "Aria sweetie, would you mind going-up to the front and asking Granny Smith for another juicebox." She politely asked her sister as she shook her empy container.

"Oh-ah-yeah-OK" Aria murmured as she got up and slowly walked towards the front of the room.

"OK, what's up with her?" Sunset asked rather concerned pointing to the rather slowly moving Aria Blaze her straight hair seemingly sagging as if some heavy sorrow still surrounded her, her black t-shirt looking ruffled and worn after taking off her hoodie earlier in the morning.

"Well..." Adagio sighed preparing to tell the rest of the group what she had told Rainbow earlier.

"Hmm..." Twilight pondered after hearing the sirens sad tale. "It seems that whatever happened last night sent Aria over the edge."

"And I guess when you're already mad all the time, the only other mode would be..." Sunset paused

"Sorrow, Depression, Anxiety?" Twilight responded.

"I was going to say burnt out Twy" Sunset replied a stern look on her face.

"Oh, ah...sorry" Twilight blushed.

"ugg, I just don't know what to do, i've never seen Aria this down in the dumps before" Adagio sighed.

"Well-I-I think I know someone who might be able to help." Fluttershy stuttered.

"Oh yea, who?" Adagio asked the shy animal loving girl.

"Um, well Octavia-t-the girl who's classical music club you're in, I-I hear she's surprisingly good with relationship stuff, she even mediated an argument between principle Celestia and Luna once, i-if anyone can help, it would be her-I guess" Fluttershy stuttered as she told the siren.

Adagio just rubbed her chin and processed the new information. She didn't know much about Octavia other then the fact the girl was even a bigger stickler for perfection and proper etiquette then Rarity, but Fluttershy wasn't the kind of girl to make something up out of the blue, if she thought the uptight cellist could help her, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

The last bell of the schoolday rang as the students barged out of their classrooms excited to finally be able to head home, or for some to their various club activities.

"Ah can't believe you actually stayed in that anime club" Applebloom chuckled looking-up at her big sister

"hey, that Sailor Moon stuff was pretty neat, don't yea go judgin me" Applejack Blushed, remembering how she and Rainbow had recently joined almost every club in some silly competition to get in as many year book pictures as possible. Both eventually bowing out of many after they realized how silly their bet had been.

"Whatever yea say sis, well I guess ah better meet Snails and Scootaloo fer our FFA meetin, and make sure Sweetie gets on the right bus so she isn't late ta her Ballet class over at Crystal prep again." Applebloom chuckled as she waved goodbye to her sister. Applejack waving back as she walked down the hall noticing Adagio talking to Rainbow Dash in front of the music room, Aria just standing behind her quite as a statue looking down at the ground and rubbing her hands together.

"Remember what I said this morning, go easy on her today, until this funk gets out of her system I don't want anyone making things any worse for her, got it" Adagio growled at the rainbow haired teen.

"OK, yea, got it, no rough stuff, I promise, I mean hey it's just a rock and roll club, not a heavy metal one" Rainbow awkwardly joked.

Adagio just sighed and turned around to her sister. "OK, listen, i'm, still not 100% sure what brought this on, but just try to relax a bit, OK, I know you aren't quite on your a-game right now, but just, do what Rainbow Dash says, she's our friend, more or less" Adagio smiled at her sister "so just at least try to let her cheer you up, OK" Adagio softly smiled at Aria.

"uh-oh-ok sis. Whatever you say" Aria meekly replied.

"Good" Adagio chuckled. "Now I have to meet Octavia and the others for practice in the gym, we have an opera contest coming up and I need to make sure my pipes are in type top shape" She mischievously grinned as she turned around and began walking towards the gym. Aria just looking on the thought of being separated from her remaining sister even for a moment making her feel a heavy sick feeling in her chest.

"Hey, cheer-up Ari, Rainbow Dash is here to make your day 20% cooler!" The cyan skinned teen confidently stated as she did her best to raise her friends spirits. Aria just looked at Dash and quietly nodded as she followed her into the music room to meet-up with the other club members.

Adagio wiped the sweat off her brow as she took a swig from her water bottle. Between her already rough day and Octavia's perfectionist attitude pratice was even more tiresome then usual. "My pipes are pooped" she rasped as she took another large gulp of much needed H20.

"Marvelous job once again Adagio" Octavia cooed as she walked-up to her classmate. "Very good indeed, considering...." she paused.

"Considering what?" Adagio sternly asked her club leader

"Well, considering the supposed drama going around with you and your sisters" Octavia mischievously replied. "I don't mean to pry of course, but perhaps you would like to talk about it. As the head of our little classical music club I would be more then willing to help my fellow members in any way I can" Octavia confidently stated.

"Fine" Adagio huffed.

"Oh, jolly good, wait here, i'll get the tea" Octavia chuckled as she walked off.

"wha-Tea?" Adagio asked rather confused.

Later after Octavia had set-up what she called her "Talk table" fully furnished with tea and scones and Adagio had once again finished telling yet another student about her private life and the events of the night before, something she still wasn't all too comfortable with Octavia finished sipping her tea and put town her cup, staring seriously at Adagio.

"Well Ms. Dazzle, it does seem like you are indeed in quite the pickle" Octavia sternly replied

"Tell me about it" Adagio huffed. "So what should I do?"

"Well, from what i'm hearing it doesn't seem like there is much you can do outside of riding out the storm, I have no doubt you three will be together again once you get to the other side, if you truly desire that" Octavia mischievously smiled.

"Oh, thanks, you're so helpful" Adagio growled.

"Now, now, no need for Sarcasm Ms. Dazzle" Octavia scolded. "I am still here to help, and so I shall" Octavia retorted as Adagio just rolled her eyes.

"It seems to me the core problem is the lack of proper communication between you three sisters. Sonata obviously desperately wants to be seen as an equal to you and Aria and she feels you have never treated her as such, thus the reason she finally rejected both you and Aria last night. Aria herself seems to be a whole bundle of personal issues that even a good psychologist would probably have to spend years to untangle, but judging by her actions today in her, how did you put it, burnt out state. I Imagine she is just acting in whichever manner she feels will best prevent her from losing you as well." Octavia explained.

"So she thinks I want her to be as quite as Fluttershy?" Adagio asked, quite aggravated at this point.

"Well, no, not exactly" Octavia attempted to clarify "You are the leader of your group Adagio, everyone knows that. I imagine Aria just feels unless she starts acting like a proper submissive to her more dominant and confident sister she might be rejected by her the same way she was by Sonata last night." Octavia quite seriously stated.

"I suppose that makes sense" Adagio replied as she bit her lip. "But why do you have to use that terminology, Dom, Sub, it's not like my sisters and I are in some kind of, physical relationship" Adagio blushed.

"Oh, no I didn't mean to imply my dear" Octavia blushed "Though i'm sure you know there have been rumors of such around you three, given until earlier this week you were inseparable" she chuckled. "Can't hardly blame people for thinking such things. And it's not like the terms only apply to sex my dear, sentient creatures, human or siren are complex, we all have dominant and submissive personality traits and when put under extreme conditions the side we fall on the most will easily show itself" Octavia chuckled once more thinking back to when she first met Viynl Scratch and how the usually chill and confident girl was quite the submissive in bed.

"Well, I guess that makes sense, so what, until I find a way to get Sonata back Aria is just gonna act like some cliche quite submissive girl straight out of a bad anime?" Adagio huffed.

"I'm afraid so darling, but you're a smart girl, i'm sure you'll find a way to cheer her up and bring the band back together, eventually." Octavia smiled as she poured herself another cup of tea.

"Wonderful, just wonderful" Adagio huffed as she looked at the clock, realizing she was 30 minutes late to pick up Aria from her Rock N Roll club. "aww, shit!" Adagio exclaimed as she rain towards the door.

"Hope everything works out." Octavia hollered at Adagio as she ran out the door.

Aria just set there curled-up in the same way Rainbow had seen her not too long ago in the nurses office when the group had been put in charge of restoring the sirens magic.

"Hey, Ari, it's OK-I, I'm sure Adagio is on her way." Rainbow tried to reassure the sad siren as she bent down and put her hand on Aria's shoulder.

"Aria, sweetie-i'm sorry, i'm here" the two heard Adagio's voice boom as the door swung open. "I'm sorry Aria, I got busy talking to Octavia and, well I just lost track of time and...." But before Adagio could finish she felt Aria embrace her sister in a hug as the smallest siren sister once again buried her face in Adagio's chest. Adagio just let out a small half chuckle.

"OK-OK, i'm here, i'm here, chill sis, I already told you last night, i'm not going anywhere" Adagio tried to reassure her sister as she slowly stroked the sirens hair. "Now let's go home. I think it's Sunset's turn to cook dinner, and she makes some mean mushroom ravioli" Adagio chuckled as she took her sister's hand and let her out the door.

Rainbow Dash just looked on, still unsure how to react, so she just picked-up her guitar and put it up, leaving the room herself. "Man, Equestrian relationships are weird." She said to herself as she turned out the lights and closed the door locking it with her key, hoping that Adagio would find a way to get Aria back to her old self soon.

Author's Notes:

Well, that was something, I guess. Poor Adagio both of her Sisters are unintentionally putting extra stress on her. But c'mon Dag, you gotta admit Aria is kind of cute like this.

But hey, i'm sure Octavia is right and things will work themselves out eventually. Though maybe be weary if she ever invites you and your sisters to a party, I imagine it might involve more rope then you would be comfortable with.

Anywho, next time its finally Friday, time for fun and movies, movies cheer everyone up...right!?

Thanks for reading and again will come back and correct mistakes later on as I see them
