The late Sunday morning sun shown through the giant glass window of Sunset's apartment as she set in her favorite comfy chair and read the latest issue of Scientific Equestrian occasionally sipping her coffee and looking up at Adagio and Aria sitting on the couch Adagio reading some fashion magazine and Aria sprawled out with her head in Adagio's lap her eyes closed as she seemed to be taking the old adage of Sunday being the "Day of Rest" quite literally. Sunset couldn't blame Aria for this however as she knew the siren was still recovering from self inflicted emotional traumas, so who was Sunset to mock if Aria wanted to spend the day napping, besides not like there was much else to do at the moment as none of the stores opened till noon and unless you were a fan of a bunch of talking heads there wasn't much on TV either.

Sunset just quietly chuckled to herself as she continued to sip her hot caffeinated beverage and look down at her magazine. Suddenly however she heard a buzz coming from the front door. Sunset looked up and tried to see if she could tell who was buzzing the front through her window, however despite it's large size the curtains and TV still were a minor obstruction. So with a short disgruntled huff Sunset got up and opened her door and slowly walked down the hall as she stretched out her arms and fixed the crick in her neck. "Who would come to visit on a boring day like this?" She asked herself as she unlocked the door with a click and slowly opened it up to see a familiar lemon skinned girl at the door.

"Oh, hey Juniper-what brings you here?" Sunset asked the girl noticing that set guest seemed a bit nervous.

"C-can I-Can I come inside?" Juniper nervously asked Sunset an anxious yet uncertain look upon her face.

"Uhh...yea, sure" Sunset replied, still rather curious as to why the young girl had shown-up on her doorstep out of the blue.

"Oh thank, thank you!" Juniper replied as she quickly ran inside the building, Sunset just slowly closing the door behind her still looking on as Juniper waited in front of her apartment door like a dog waiting to be let back inside it's master's house.

Adagio looked on as Sunset Shimmer opened the door and Juniper Montage quickly ran in with Sunset closing the door behind.

"Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise" Adagio cooed. "Wake-up Aria dear, it seems we have guests" Adagio stated to her sleeping sister as she flicked the siren on the nose, Aria responding by opening her eyes and yawning. "Who is it?" Arias asked her voice still a tired rasp as she looked up at Adagio.

"It seems miss Juniper Montage has decided to pay us a visit." Adagio answered with a somewhat mischievous smile. Aria finally removing her head from adagio's lap and stretching out her arms before looking over at the nervous girl fidgeting with her glasses.

"s'up?" Aria asked looking over at the girl.

"W-well, ahh--y-you see-I-I" Juniper stuttered still finding the courage to say what needed to be said.

Sunset seeing the poor girl was having a hard time finding her words nearly walked-up to her and put her hand on Juniper's shoulder. "Hey, it's OK, whatever you have to tell us, we're here for you" Sunset reassured the girl despite still not being sure what this was all about.

Juniper just nodded and closed her eyes as she let out a deep breath before continuing. "I-I THINK SONATA'S IN TROUBLE!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. This of course got the remaining Dazzlings attention as both Adagio and Aria stared dead straight at Juniper.

"You think what now?" Adagio asked to make sure she had heard the now shaking girl properly.

"I-I think Sonata might be in trouble" Juniper repeated.

"And why do you think that?" Adagio asked in a rather stern and serious tone.

"A-at the movie the other night, I-I overhead Sandalwood and his friend. T-they're going on a camping trip today, but-but that's not the problem." Juniper paused as she took a deep gulp before continuing her story. "They, they mentioned something about bringing some kind of drug, not just beer or pot or anything like that. I-I think they're gonna ruffy Sonata and rape her!" Juniper finished as she shook even harder afraid of how the others in the room would react to the news.

Sunset was in shock, she knew the girl obviously needed help with something, but this is not what she was expecting. Sunset looked over at Adagio & Aria who were also just staring at Juniper uncertain of how to process the information.

All of a sudden Aria got up of the couch and and walked straight up to Juniper. "Is this a sick joke?" The siren seriously asked the frightened girl.

"N-no, I-i'm telling the truth" Juniper whined.

"Well, then...." Aria paused as the gemstone in her palm began to glow and she levitated her old outfit over to her and like magic changed back into her old cloths her pigtails now restored and on top of that a shiny pair of brass knuckles seemingly appering out of nowhere. "Looks like I finally get to kick that loser's ass after all!" Aria smiled as she looked back at her big sister. "C'mon Dag, let's go." Aria commanded with an evil smile on her face.

"Sure, not like we have anything better to do" Adagio non-chelauntly replied as she put down her magazine and confidently strutted towards the front door.

"uh, before we leave maybe it would be good to know where we're going" Sunset remind the two as they started to head out the door.

"Oh, yea...right." the two replied realizing they had gotten ahead of themselves everyone looking over at Juniper again.

"Oh-w-well I-I think they said they were going to the old rusty horseshoe hill camping sight out at Whitetail Woods" Juniper nervously replied.

"Whitetail woods eh" Sunset replied "That's even farther out of town then Everfree, even if we catch all the buses on time it'll still take a little over two hours to get out there" Sunset sighed.

"Well then, what are we waiting for Bacon-head, lets get going!" Aria shouted as she ran out the door, Adagio following close behind as Juniper also panicked and followed suite running out the door. Sunset just sighed "Never a dull moment I guess" she chuckled as she too ran out slamming the door behind.

Meanwhile at the campsite.....

"Ugg, why'd we have to come out here so early. I thought you said we weren't coming till later." Sonata moaned as she helped Sandalwood set things up

"I know babe, I know" He chuckled looking over at the rather discontent siren. "But what can I say, I just love nature and the rest of the gang said they couldn't wait either" he replied with a smile as he finished putting up the last of three rather large tents.

"Well then where is everyone" Sonata huffed not sure she felt Sandalwood's answer was satisfactory.

"Oh, they should be on there way any second now" He calmly replied. "Until then how about a snack break?" He asked the bubbly siren girl with a smile.

"Oh, snacks, yes! I love snacks!" Sonata cheered in response.

"Haha, that's what I thought" Sandalwood chuckled in reply as he reached into his bag and pulled out a square pink box. "And I got a special one for you right here babe, A Cupcake from Sugarcube corner, specially made with all the best stuff just for you" He smiled as he opened the box and revealed the rather delicious looking confection inside.

"Wow, just for me!?" Sonata smiled "You're the best sandy!" She cheered as she grabbed the box and looked hungrily at the cupcake inside.

"Haha, I know babe, I know" Sandalwood replied giving off a devious smile while Sonata had her attention focused solely on the cupcake, licking her lips preparing to take a bite.

Back in Canterlot City.....

"Ugg, why is this bus so damn slow!?" Aria growled as she kicked the back of the seat in front of her, which was thankfully empty.

"Calm down Aria, don't worry, we'll get to Sonata in time, I promise" Sunset tried to reassure the siren.

"Whatever, i'm not worried about Sonata, she can take care of herself" Aria retorted, Sunset merely giving her one of those "Really" kind of looks with her eyebrow raised and a sarcastic smile.

"OK, maybe i'm a little worried about Sonata, but i'm mostly just looking forward to smashing her boy toy's face into a pulp!" Aria grumpily replied with a blush.

"Yes I imagine mangling those meatheads will be quite cathartic for you, and potentially the rest of us as well" Adagio chuckled as she looked over at the rest of the group.

"I-I've n-never been in a f-fight before" Juniper nervously replied.

"Hey, don't worry about it" Sunset softly sighed as she put her hand on Juniper's shoulder. "No one is going to make you fight anybody, you've done enough already, if you wanna get off at the next stop we'll understand, The Dazzlings and I have got this" Sunset softly spoke as she smiled at Juniper.

The green girl just gulped "N-no, I-i'm gonna see this through, y-you girls are my friends too after all...right?" Juniper nervously asked looking over at the rest of her bus buddies.

"Of course" Sunset smiled

"Well, you did give us those movie tickets the other day, so sure" Adagio agreed

"Yea, I guess, whatever" Aria reluctantly replied.

"OK, then let's do this. Let's save Sonata!" Juniper cheered as she confidently raised her hand up to her face and clinched her palm into a fist.

Back at the campsite.

The prepreations had been finished and Sonata looked over at Sandalwood who was chatting with C.P., Treehugger and the rest as they prepared the wood for the fire. There was also about five or six people Sonata had never seen before, but judging from their jackets she guessed some were from Crystal Prep and a few others maybe from the Canterlot Community College. "Huh, wonder what they're doing here?" She thought to herself as she did her best to ignore the growing feeling of dizziness inside her.

"Whoa, wha.." she stammered as she tumbled to the ground barely catching herself with her hands.

"hey, you OK?" she heard a voice ask her. Looking-up she noticed it seemed to be one of the community college kids.

"I-I'm fine I think." Sonata replied "J-just feeling a little weak is all" she finished as she took the young girls hand and let the lady help her up.

"Thanks for helping me up" Sonata softly smiled. "I'm Sonata" she introduced herself as she extended out her hand.

"Oh yes dear, we all know who you are." the slightly older girl smiled. as she shook Sonata's hand in kind.
"My names Snowflower and Sandalwood has told us all about you" she cooed as she bit her lip and rubbed her hand over her snow white hair that accented her light blue skin quite well.

Sonata just paused for a minute unsure of how to respond so she just let out a small nervous chuckle as she thanked the girl once again and continued on her way.

"Hey Sandy" Sonata asked as she approached the boy she believed to be her beau. "Who are all these other people, I-i've never seen them before?" Sonata asked nervously. Sandalwood just turned around and smiled. "Ah, they're just some friends babe. Here for the same reason as the rest of us, to enjoy the bounty of nature." He chuckled looking down at the now somewhat uncertain siren.

"Oh-OK, well, I guess that makes sense" Sonata replied though soon another spell of dizziness hit her as she wobbled and fell into Sandalwood's torso.

"You OK babe?" The boy asked trying to hide the excitement in his tone.

"Uh-yea-no, I dunno Sandy-I-I just feel kind of weak" She rasped in reply

"Haha-looks like it's workin faster then you expected man" C.P. laughed looking over at Sandalwood "Who knew Siren's were such light weights"

"Wha-what?" Sonata nervously asked.

"Damn it C.P. she wasn't supposed to know yet." Treehugger replied slapping him in the back of the head.

"Well nothing we can do about it now" Sandalwood sighed as his grip around Sonata tightened.

"Hey, everybody, Fun starts early today!" He shouted for all the others at the campsite to hear. The group just cheering in reply.

"Wha-no-what, what's going on?" Sonata asked feeling ever weaker and confused. "Le-let go, I-I don't like this Sandy, what are you doing?" She sobbed as she could feel Sandalwood dragging her to one of the tents as her now blurring vision saw the others following behind.

Adagio, Aria, Juniper and Sunset got off the final bus which had brought them to the entrance of the White tail woods.

"phew, we finally made it!" Sunset sighed in relief

"Yea, now..." Aria paused as she cracked her knuckles "Lets go kick some ass!" She smiled as she looked down at her brass knuckles.

"If they touch a single hair on Sonata's head so help me not even the pits of Hades will save them from my wrath" Adagio sternly stated

"And...I...I'll help too" Juniper nervously chimed in.

"OK girls, lets do this." Adagio smiled as she looked at the forest ahead and began to trek forward.

"Don't worry Sonata, we're coming" Aria thought to herself as she followed beside her sister.

Sonata's head felt funny and everything around her was fuzzy. Despite that however she could feel hands touching her and attempting to remove her clothing. She did her best to fight back weakly kicking and whining, unable to move her hands however as they were tied to the pole in the center of the tent. "Sth-shtap" she weakly slurred as tears began to well up in her eyes as she could feel her boots and socks being removed, one of the other campers tickling them and laughing at her out of spite. "Wh-why?" Sonata asked as she continued to sob.

"Like I said babe, we're all here for nature's bounty, and today that just happens to be you." Sandalwood laughed as he undid Sonata's skirt revealing her pink and purple stripped panties beneath as Treehugger began to unbutton her top shirt revealing the skin tight pink t-shirt beneath. "P-please-no" Sonata continued to beg as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Aww, don't worry babe, just give it a chance, eventually you'll come to love it" Sandalwood smiled as he looked at the sad siren and rubbed her cheek knowing by now she was to weak to bite back.

All of a sudden the group heard a loud roar from the center of the campsite.

"What was that?" C.P. asked in a panic looking over at Sandalwood.

"I du..." Sandalwood attempted to respond before the group was once again frozen in fear at the loud noise.

Treehugger just looked over at Sandalwood "Y-you don't think that it-its her..." the girl stopped with a gulp.

"No way, how, how would they even know we're here!" he tried to reassure himself. His temporary calm once again broken as they heard a loud booming voice.

"OK shroomheads, we know you're here. Now give us back our sister and there won't be any trouble" Adagio's voice echoed throughout the campsite.

"Shit it is them!" Snowflower whinned looking over at the rest of her group of college and crystal prep guests.

"J-just stay here, i'll handle this" Sandalwood tried to reassure the group as he nervously exited the tent.

"S'up girls, what brings you here?" Sandalwood asked as he looked at the group consisting of Adagio, Aria, Sunset and Juniper.

"Cut the crap bean head!" Aria growled "Give us Sonata...NOW!" she angrily scowled at the teen.

"I dunno what you mean, Sonata wants to be here with us, I mean, we're here real friends after all" Sandalwood deviously smiled.

"OK, that's it, ass kicking time!" Aria screeched ready to pounce before Sunset held her back.

"Wait" Sunset replied as she moved to the front of the group.

"Sandalwood, listen, whatever it is you think you're doing here, what ever all this is, it's wrong, I know you know it's wrong, if what Juniper told us is true, if you are really planning on doing something that horrendous to Sonata, just...don't OK, hurting others, in any way, it leaves a scar, a scar that never fully goes away." Sunset begged remembering her days as a brute and a bully.

Sandalwood just chuckled "Haha, that's cute and all Sunset, but outhere the only laws we obey are the laws of nature" Sandalwood chuckled "And right now i'm in the mood to mate" He deviously smiled.

Sunset just looked at the young man in disgust. "OK Aria....kick his ass!" Sunset replied as she let go of the already angry siren and Aria ran towards the creep as her gem began to glow and she ponied-up right as her brass knuckles connected with is face.

"Ahh, you bitch!" Sandalwood shouted as he fell back on his behind.

"Guys, I could really use some help out here!" he shouted as the rest of the creepy campers came running out of the tent.

"well, this is a bit more then I expected" Adagio angrily smirked looking at the group seeing it wasn't just Sandalwood's posse but some Crystal Prep and community college kids as well. "No matter, still no challenge for me." Adagio chuckled as she too ponied up and slowly yet confidently walked towards the group a smile of pure evil on her face as thoughts of tearing her enemies to shreds entered her mind.

"And what about you?" Juniper nervously asked looking at Sunset.

"Yea, I..I can't really pony up unless the rest of my friends are here with me." Sunset blushed.

"Well, OK what do we do then?" Juniper nervously asked.

"Well i'll still do my best to help Aria & Adagio, you sneak into the tent and get Sonata, given that's the one they all came out of I'm guessing that's where they're holing her." Sunset explained. Juniper just gulped and nodded her head in agreement as the two both ran and made a break towards there respective goals

"ch-chill out!" Treehugger shouted as Aria clawed and slashed at the girl

"Sorry honey, you messed with the wrong sirens, now sit still and take your just desserts" Adagio angrily growled.

L-let's get out of here!" Snowflower shouted at her group as they attempted to run off finding themselves blocked by Sunset

"G-get out of our way!" The panicked girl demanded.

"Sorry can't do that" Sunset replied with a mocking smile.

"W-well then w'ell make you." Snowflower nervously exclaimed.

"You're welcome to try, but you know, even without my magical powers i'm still a black belt in three different martial arts." Sunset proudly exclaimed as the group just nervously backed away. "We are so fucked" Snowflower whined as Sunset cracked her knuckles.

C.P. heard the noise outside unsure of what to do, he had stayed back to watch Sonata but was worried his friends might need help. All of a sudden he felt a sudden pain in the back side of his head as he heard a thwack sound and everything went black.

"wow, I didn't think hitting someone on the back of the head with a frying pan would actually work like it did in the cartoons!" Juniper nervously chuckled in surprise before turning her attention to Sonata, the girl half-undressed and sobbing.

"Don't worry Sonata, i'm a friend of your sisters and i'm here to help." Juniper reassured the scared girl as she did her best to put her cloths back on properly before getting her untied.

After a good and rather cathartic beat-down of the group of creeps Aria and the rest of the group had managed to round-up and tie-up the entire crew.

"Well those guys were just pathetic" Aria mocked looking down at the group of mostly unconscious creepers.

"Well, what now?" Adagio asked. "We can't exactly call the police, I mean what would we say? Hello officer i'm a magical creature from another dimension and I just used my magical powers to beat-up a bunch of losers that tried to rape my sister?"

"Well" Sunset pondered "We could tie them each-up to a tree and leave them to fend for themselves, I mean they do love nature after all" The bacon haired teen chuckled

"I like the way you think Ms. Shimmer, I like the way you think." Adagio deviously smiled looking down at the compilation of clowns.

"He, either way they'll think twice before they mess with us again" Aria triumphantly added.

Suddenly the group heard some rustling and saw Juniper coming out of the tent with Sonata who was still quite weak from the drugged cupcake she had ingested. Sonata looked-up and saw her sisters as she began to weep once more and used the last of her energy to run towards them, falling into Aria's arms.

"A-a-Ari-I-I-I'm-s-sorry, you, you were-r-ri-right." Sonata sobbed as she wrapped her arms around the smallest siren sister.

Aria just chuckled "You know I don't know if I should kill you or kiss you right now" she replied. Sonata just looked at her sister and pouted giving her the most pathetic look imaginable. Aria just blushing pushed her off and towards Adagio "here Dag, you take her." Aria huffed.

"OK, fair enough" Adagio replied as she turned around and motioned for Sonata to climb-up on to her back. The still weak siren doing her best to comply.

"Now c'mon girls, let's go home" Adagio chuckled as she motioned for Aria to follow. Sunset and Juniper slowly following behind.

Author's Notes:

Well, what a penultimate chapter.

And in case you're wondering yes Juniper called the cops from a payphone on Sandalwood and co after they got back to town, tipping them off as an anonymous source.

C.P. doesn't have brain damage from the frying pan because he doesn't have a brain to damage.

No none of the Crystal Prep students were ones you'd be familiar with, just random background kids, some goes for the college students.

Next chapter, The Dazzlings bond and make-up. Some minor sauce ensues.
