"Thank Neptune it's Friday!" Adagio internally cheered as she finished getting dressed and opened-up the bathroom door letting the lingering steam from the shower poor out. Looking around she saw that Sunset Shimmer had already left for school. No surprise there of course as the previous school bully was now one of Canterlot High's star students. "Can't be tardy and ruin that perfect attendance record now can we Sunny" Adagio chuckled to herself. Sadly her good mood was somewhat tempered as she saw Aria sitting on the couch, still acting more or less the same as yesterday. Quite, reserved and her posture much more anxious and submissive when compared to the usual fierce and bold siren Adagio and the others had come to know.

"C'mon Aria, we best get going ourselves I suppose." Adagio Sighed as she stared at her little sister with an attempted half smile. Aria said nothing but just nodded in compliance as she grabbed her hoodie and prepared to follow Adagio out the door.

At the school the students were unsurprisingly rowdier then usual. This of course came as no surprise to Adagio. Human or Siren, everyone loved the weekend!

"I can't wait to go to the Countess Coloratura concert this weekend!" Roseluck squealed.

"And I can't wait to see Canterlot City's Basketball team completely destroy the Manehattan Mountain Goats this weekend." Flash sentry chimed in.

"Ha, that's nothing! i've finally tracked down a first edition copy of Lord of The Rings and I can't wait to go pick it up this weekend!" Moondancer cheered.

Adagio just rolled her eyes as she walked along and overheard all of her classmates plans. "Well at least they'll be having a good time." She internally moaned as she looked back at Aria "Meanwhile I still have to find a way to fix my family" The siren sighed under her breath as she and Aria approached their lockers.

"G-good morning Adagio" She heard a voice nervously mumble.

Looking to her left Adagio saw the sound was coming from Juniper Montage, another recent transfer to Canterlot High. This surprised Adagio as so far the lime green girl had seemed rather scared by she and her sisters, so having Juniper actually talk to them for once was indeed an unusual situation.

"Oh, good morning Ms. Montage, how are you" Adagio politely responded, doing her best not to sound intimidating.

"O-oh i'm fine....I-I just." Juniper stuttered.

"Just what?" Adagio asked in a rather aggravated tone. She didn't have the time to waste on someone who couldn't even finish a sentence.

"I-I just noticed you and your sister had been having a hard time lately and I wanted to give you these to cheer you up!" Juniper blurted out quite nervously and quickly as she held-up two rectangular vouchers.

"uh-thanks, but, what are they?" Adagio asked as she took the cupons.

"Th-they're tickets, sort of" Juniper attempted to explain "They're vouchers, each one is good for a free movie ticket and a small coke and popcorn. I get them all the time at the theatre I work at-you know-the one in the mall" The girl nervously continued "B-but I don't really have any friends myself to go with, so I thought maybe you and Aria could get more use out of them." Juniper blushed as she finished.

Adagio paused unsure how to respond to such a random act of kindness. "Well-thank you Juniper. I, I don't know what to say" Adagio replied with a small smile.

"Oh, i-its no problem really. I, I guess i'll see you two there tonight. I mean, not that i'll be going to see a movie, but you know, working behind the counter, at the concession stand" She nervously chuckled as she slowly backed away and turned around to head to class.

Adagio just stood there for a moment before stuffing the vouchers into her backpack and turning around. "Well Aria, looks like you and me are going to the movies tonight." Adagio told her sister with a confident smile on her face. Aria just looking at Adagio and making a small smile of her own as the first bell rang and both girls realized it would be best if they headed to class.

Later at lunch Adagio hummed an up beat tune as she finished up her meal.

"well someone seems to be in a much better mood today" Rarity snickered as she turned her attention to Adagio.

"Well of course, the weekend fast approaches and I feel with it so shall my victory." Adagio mischievously smiled in reply.

"Victory? Over what darling?" Rarity asked quite curious.

"Over what ever all this is going on, you know with me and my sisters" Adagio huffed pointing one hand towards Aria and the other over to the table where Sonata was sitting with Sandalwood and his crew.

"Oh, did you finally find a solution?" Twilight asked excited.

"Well, not exactly" Adagio nervously chuckled. "But I just feel the pieces might finally be falling into place" She mischievously smiled once more as she pulled out the vouchers.

"oohh, what are those!?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Vouchers to the movie. I got them from Juniper." Adagio explained. "I figure taking Aria to that new Power Ponies movie thats playing might cheer her up. Afterall I know how much you love a good action flick. Right sis!?" Aria sang as she leaned in closer to her still sad sister. "Ah-yea-I-I guess" Aria mumbled.

"Ahh, sweet! Can we come too!?" Rainbow Dash excitedly asked. "I've been waiting forever for the new Power Ponies flick to come out, but-I couldn't go see it last week because the soccer team had a game out of town, but i'm totally free this weekend soo...." Rainbow Dash begged as she began to make puppy dog eyes, Pinkie quickly joining in on the act.

Adagio just groaned. "OK, fine....The Rainbooms may have the honor of attending the movies with The Dazzlings, er remaining Dazzlings" Adagio replied. "However you'll have to pay for your own ticket speedy, I may look fabulous but i'm not made out of money you know" Adagio snickered.

"Sweet!" Rainbow cheered "Power Ponies here we come!" Meanwhile Adagio just rolled her eyes and looked over at Aria, wondering if she made the right choice agreeing to tag-alongs, or if she should have just made it clear she was doing this for her sister. Oh well, no turning back now, and whatever happens happens.

Adagio and Aria waited at the enterence to the theater. "Ugg, where are those morons, the movie starts in 10 minutes and we still have to get our concessions" Adagio angrily mumbled staring up at the closest clock. Thankfully though as if the group sensed her discontent the seven girls arrived mere seconds later.

"Sorry we're late" Sunset apologized. "We had to wait for Rarity to decide what she wanted to wear"

"And ahh still don't see why" AJ huffed "We're just goin ta the dad gum movies, not like we got invited to the academy awards!" The farm-girl sneered looking over at rarity.

"Well Applejack, weather its a simple movie or an exquisite gala one should always attempt to look their best!" Rarity replied , twirling around in her dark black dress that shimmered as the light reflected off the small beads embedded within. "Besides you know I look fabulous" She mocked as she struck a sexy pose causing Applejack to blush.

"OK enough of that, time to go see Power Ponies!" Rainbow interjected as she excitedly speed into the theater.

"Oh, wait for me Dashie!" Pinkie chuckled as she too hopped in.

"what are we going to do with those two" Twilight chuckled as she wrapped her arm around Sunset and followed the rest of the group into the theater.

"Oh, ahh, hi girls" Juniper greeted as The Dazzlings and The Rainbooms approached the concession stand.

"Sup Junbug" Dash joked giving the movie loving girl a wink.

"Oh, not much, truth be told ever since that IMAX opened up across town we don't get as much business anymore" Juniper sighed. "But i'm glad you girls came to support my uncles theatre" Juniper smiled.

"Well, duh, he did give us back-ground roles in his Daring-Do movie!" Rainbow replied. Juniper just looking at her with a sour face. "Oh, ah, sorry-yea, forgot that was still a sore spot for yea" Rainbow blushed.

"No, no i'm good, really. I'm young and beautiful, I still have plenty of opportunities to become a star" Juniper retorted with faux confidence as she flicked a popcorn kernel off her uniform.

"That's the spirit" Adagio chimed in. "As long as you think you're fabulous you'll be fabulous" Right sis?" Adagio agreed looking back at Aria. The smaller light purple siren just blushing and nodding her head yes.

"Well thank you all for the bode of confidence, now what can I get you?" Juniper asked with a smile as she prepared to serve her friends their concessions.

Later in the movie Adagio was able to find the perfect seats, right in the middle of the room, not to far or close to the screen. She sat and sipped on her soda and ate her popcorn occasionally looking over at her sister glad to see Aria not frowning for once as her eyes were glued to the large screen during both the trailers and the actual film. The night wasn't free of hitches or hiccups however as Rainbow Dash was prone to burp rather loudly and Pinkie Pie sadly seemed to be the kind of person who liked to talk and ask questions during the movie. Thankfully though Applejack and Rarity seemed to be able to reign them in for the most part before they got too annoying meaning at the very thankfully least no one called security on the girls.

After the movie finished around 9:45 The Dazzlings and The Rainbooms made their way back to the front of the theatre.

"Man that movie was soo Awesome!!" Rainbow Dash excitedly cheered

"I know Fillisecond is soo cool!" Pinkie chimed in

"Yea, but not as cool as Zap" Rainbow replied.

"Personally I prefer The Masked Matterhorn myself" Twilight joined in.

"I-I think they're all pretty nice" Fluttershy shyly mumbled.

"So, what did you think of the movie Aria?" Sunset asked as both she and Adagio looked at the still quite siren.

At first there was just silence, before a low mumble that eventually turned into quite clear and rather loud words "It was Amazing!" Aria replied "I mean when they all attacked the Maneiac at the same time and her robot duplicate Swoops in to protect her! A-and then-and then Tirek comes out nowhere and just starts wailing on those goody goodies! It was epic!!" Aria finished with a rather large smile on her mouth. The rest of the group just looking at her and giggling.

"H-hey, whats so funny!?" Aria nervously and angrily asked as she blushed.

"Nothing" Sunset chuckled. "We're just glad to see you show a bit of your old self again."

"Yea, that whole quite little church mouse routine was getting pretty old pretty fast sis" Adagio agreed as she wrapped her shoulder around her sister.

Aria just blushed. "I-um-I" She muttered unsure of what to say.

"Hey, it's OK, I know you're not on your a-game right now, but you're still allowed to be happy Aria" Adagio reassured the uncertain siren.

"Yea-um, OK" Aria half smiled.

"Well, glad to see at least part of the problem's solved" Rainbow chuckled. "But it's late and I best head home before mom annoys Scootaloo to death" she joked. "She you girls later" She exclaimed as she speed off.

"Well, I best be off as well, lots of work to do at the boutique this weekend" Rarity chimed in.

"And I believe we have another study session" Sunset playfully cooed at Twilight who just blushed in reply.

"Later taters!" Pinkie Pie chuckled as she grabbed AJ and Fluttershy and hopped off the other two girls unsure of where the peppy pink pony girl was taking them.

"Finally some peace and quite!" Adagio cheerfully sighed. "so sis, how about a late night snack to celebrate your ability to partially smile again" Adagio mocked looking over at Aria. "I hear the ice cream stand here has a stellar rocky road"

"Ah, sure-I-I guess" Aria replied.

"Good" Adagio smiled, glad to see her little sister finally cheering-up abit.

Adagio and Aria walked through the mall licking their ice-cream and just generally enjoying one another's company, despite most of the stores being closed at this late hour there were still plenty of teen and college age individuals hanging around the building either preparing to go to a late movie or just sitting around at the circular cafeteria plaza tables enjoying each others company. All of a sudden though both sisters noticed something that made them stop cold in their tracks. At one of the tables was Sandalwood and his crew, unsurprisingly with Sonata in tow.

Adagio looked at the group with malice as an idea hit her. "C'mon Aria, lets put an end to this" Adagio demanded looking at her sister who was instead slowly moving back.

"Ah-I-I dunno-Dag, I-I mean, maybe-we should just go home. I-I don't wanna make Sonata mad...again" The siren sister nervously replied.

"You don't have to say a thing dear, just let big sis do all the talking. I'll get Sonata back and make her apologize and we can put this entire ordeal behind us" Adagio said as she reassured Aria patting her on the head and taking her hand forcibly pulling her along towards the table.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Adagio asked in a sultry tone as she walked up to her bubbly sister and her new boy toy.

"Oh, hey Dagi, sup?" Sonata asked, giving her sister a big smile.

"Oh, not much , same ol same ol really" Adagio politely replied. "Aria and I just got done seeing the new Power Ponies movie with our friends, you should have come along, you would have enjoyed it." Adagio cooed with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, neat! Sandy and I were just about to go to the late movie ourselves!" Sonata happily replied.

"Oh-really" Adagio disappointingly huffed.

"Yea, Sandy says that the late movies are always more fun, plus theres less people around so you can sneak more stuff in." Sonata chuckled as she pointed to the rest of the group who held up small cans of beer and bags of weed.

"Oh, lovely" Adagio replied doing her best not to make a face of disgust at the thought of her sister drinking beer like a common human, after all it had long been a siren tradition to only drink the finest of wines, not that she could afford any at the moment.

"uh-uh-s-Sonata" the group heard Aria quietly mumble. "w-when-do, I mean-are you gonna come home tonight?" Aria nervously asked fumbling her fingers and looking at the ground.

Adagio just looked at Aria in surprise not expecting her sister to actually speak-up.

Sonata just smiled. "Oh, don't worry Ari, like I said the other night, I won't be in you and Dagi's hair anymore, sides Sandy said I could stay over at his place as long as I need to" Sonata chuckled looking over at her boyfriend and hugging his arm.

"oh-oh" Aria sighed as she felt a heavy feeling in her heart once more, looking down at the floor doing the best to hide the sorrow and disappointment apparent in her expression. Adagio picking-up on the verbal cues and just wishing Sonata a good night as she grabbed Aria's hand and quickly jogged off until she found an empty corner of the building with a small bench and a soda machine. There she sat down with Aria and embraced her sister.

"I-i'm s-sorry" Aria cried "I-I r-ruined our f-f-family" the sad siren sobbed.

"Sush now, none of that" Adagio sternly replied as she held the sobbing Aria against her, rubbing the smaller sirens back trying to calm her down.

"B-but, I-if I had been a b-better-s-su-I-if I hadn't been so-m-mean to her all the time" Aria sobbed.

"Aria sweety this isn't your fault, you know Sonata is a free spirit, she's going to do what she wants, we just-we just have to respect that, for now anyway." Adagio told her still sobbing sister trying her best to still maintain control of the situation. "It'll all work out, you'll see, I promise" Adagio replied trying to reassure both herself and her sister.

Meanwhile over at the theater Juniper was cleaning up as she watched a small group slowly walk in. "Hey movie chick, we're here for the 10:30 showing of Power Ponies!" The tall green-haired teen shouted. Juniper turned around and recognized him as Sandalwood. "And that means" Juniper thought to herself as she looked at the group and saw Sonata. Juniper just gulped as she answered "Ah-how may I help you" she nervously smiled.

Later after the group had gotten their tickets and single bag of popcorn they said they were going to share. " Yea right you're just gonna dump it out and put something you snuck in with yea, yea darn cheapskates" Juniper huffed to herself. Sandalwood just told Sonata and Treehugger to go find them some seats making the excuse that he and his friend CP had to go drain the lizard. For some reason Juniper had a strange feeling that she should probably ease drop on this conversation.

"So, man, we still on for the camping trip Sunday night?" CP asked Sandalwood

"You know it bra" Sandalwood smiled.

"And you gonna bring the stuff" CP mischievously smiled back.

"You know it brah" Sandalwood repeated giving the guy a high five.

"Man I can't wait, i've never done a magical chick before!" CP cheered excitedly.

"Yep, a good ol Magical G.B. up at Whitetail Woods Peak this Sunday man, you me and the girls, everyone gets a swing at the siren" Sandalwood laughed as he grabbed his friends head and gave him a noogie. "Now c'mon lets go get our seats, don't wanna leave my er our girl waiting." Sandalwood replied with a slightly mischievous and gruffer then usual tone.

Juniper just looked on as the two walked into the theater.

"G.B. what could G.B mean...." And then it hit the young girl like a ton of bricks.

"Holy shit, they're talking about a gang bang! Those creeps are gonna take Sonata out to the woods to Rape her!?" Juniper internally screamed in a panic. "Crap, crap crap, what do I do!?" She nervously muttered. "I, I gotta tell her sisters, I gotta, but they already left, oh crap what do I do!?" Juniper nervously repeated as she paced back and fourth. "But, if I tell Sonata's sisters then Sandalwood's crew might find out it was me and they might come after me for..." Juniper paused. "Oh crud, why why did I have to eavsedrop!?" She whined to herself. "I, I can't let them get away with something like that, but I can't put myself in danger either...oh...what should I do!?" Juniper contemplated as she curled down into a ball and hid behind the concession stand.

Author's Notes:

Welp, looks like Sandalwood is a scumbag after all. C'mon Juniper do the right thing and warn Adagio & Aria so they can go kick his ass Sunday night!

Anywho next chapter, it's Saturday and Aria's had a bit of a....relapse. Weekends aren't always fun it seems. Don't worry i'm sure Adagio and Sunset will figure something out....I hope.

Thanks again for reading. As per usual will come and fix mistakes later.
