Adagio's Accidental Harem Hassle!
Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Concerts By Day; Confessions By Night
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAdagio looked around the gymnasium as she set on the bleachers and sighed. She was thankful her day had been rather relaxing so far despite her initial uncertainty but honestly she was starting to get a bit bored. The Rainbooms were up on stage setting things up and tuning their instruments for the big show in a couple of hours and Octavia and Vinyl were practicing for their performance as well.
"Shouldn't we be practicing too?" Sonata asked obviously quite bored as well at this point.
"With what?" Aria asked her sister. "Our Gemstones make our background music and our only instrument is our voice." The purple punk reminded her.
"Oh...yea." Sonata blushed.
Adagio chuckled and was about to chime in before the door swung open with a loud thud.
"RAINBOW DASH!" An angry high pitched voice that reminded Adagio of nails scratching a chalk board screamed. Everyone looking over to see the source of the commotion was Trixie Lulamoon who was accompanied by her usual henchgirls.
"Oh, hey Trixie.....What is it now?" Dash huffed half heartedly feeling she already had a pretty good idea of what the problem was.
"Lavender Lace, Fuchsia Blush and I would like to know why The Illusions got snubbed from yet another musical performance!?" Trixie angrily growled looking up at the stage at Rainbow Dash.
"Well you see Trix" Dash began as she cleared her throat. "First off we only had room for two opening acts and of course we were going to give one to the Dazzlings; second off Octavia asked if she and Vinyl could perform some new Classic-techno Synth thing they've been working on and that sounded pretty cool so I was all like sure why not. And finally..." Rainbow paused.
"And Finally what?" Trixie asked, quite perturbed at the point.
"Well I just really really don't like you!" Rainbow Dash smiled down at the girl.
Trixie's face was hot with anger and steam was practically fuming out of her ears as she stomped the gym floor and did her best to calm down.
"Chill Trix, don't let her get under your skin." Lavender stated trying to get the silver haired girl to calm down.
"Yea, I mean c'mon we're too good for this rinky dink school performance anyway." Fuchsia Blush boasted putting her hand on Trixie's shoulder only to have it quickly slapped off as the angry blue moon girl turned around her nostrils still flaring and eyes full of anger.
"Calm down, don't you dare tell me to calm down when this is all you're fault!" Trixie angrily snarled at the two girls.
"Our Fault!?" The two gasped in surprise.
"Yea, you're fault, if you were any good at being Trixie's back-up singers or henchmen Trixie wouldn't be in this mess, she would be the one on stage getting all the love and admiration of her fellow students. Trixie! Not those dumb Dazzlings or Retarded Rainbooms!" The angry wannabe musical magician shouted at the two.
Lavender and Fuchsia just stared at each other and then back at Trixie as they angrily replied "Fine, if that's how you feel we quite!" The two girls screeched in response. "You don't pay us nearly enough to put up with your moods!" Fuschia added as she pulled a clump of money out of her pocket and threw it at Trixie's face before she and Lavender just stomped off.
"Everyone in the room just set there frozen staring at the angry pale blue girl. For a moment Trixie just stood there and did nothing before finally turning around staring Rainbow Dash dead in the eyes with the most hateful look she had ever seen as Trixie finally spoke. "You'll pay for this Rainbow Dash, you'll all pay!" She stated before running off.
"Um, should we be worried about that?" Twilight asked a look of concern on her face.
"Nah, it'll be fine, now let's get back to practice." RD assured her band mates as she strummed her guitar.
"Well that was mildly entertaining I suppose" Adagio internally chuckled to herself as she looked down at the room from the bleachers.
A few hours later it was almost time for the show to start and The Dazzlings were preparing to start their set as soon as Principle Celestia finished her end of the year speech.
All of a sudden however Adagio felt a finger tap her shoulder. She looked back and saw her friend Juniper Montage.
"H-hey Adagio" Juniper stammered "H-how yea doin." The lime green girl stuttered as she pushed up her glasses.
"Oh, I'm good, just the usual, showing the world how amazing I am" Adagio joked as she puffed up her hair. "And you? Haven't seen you around today, what have you been up to Junebug?" Adagio cooed
"W-well-y-you see" Juniper mumbled.
"Spit it out Junie, I don't have all day" Adagio sighed.
"I-I was wondering if you and the rest of the girls wanted to come to my uncle's barbecue tonight?" The nervous girl stuttered. " You see my uncle has a little party every year on the first night of summer but all of his friends are busy this year so he said I could invite some of mine so...yea." Juniper finished with a nervous gulp.
Adagio thought it over for a minute and smiled. "Sure, we'd love to."
Juniper was obviously quite pleased with this response as she let out a small adorable squee. "Ok, I, I'll call my uncle and tell him to be sure to have everything ready for tonight!" Juniper cheered. "Best of luck on stage she sang as she ran off back into the crowd.
Adagio just smiled as she turned around to face her sisters. "C'mon girls, we got a show to open." She confidently smiled as she slowly walked on up to the stage.
Adagio took a deep breath as she closed and opened her eyes looking out at the crowd, all the students gathered in the gym waiting for the show. She just let out a confident chuckle before addressing her audience.
"OK CHS, are you ready to rock!?" Adagio shouted through the microphone. The rest of the school cheering "YEA" in unison .
"OK then let's get this party started!" Adagio replied as the crowd cheered and the magical music began.
I want you to see the best in me. But I'm afraid I'm cursed. I want you to see the best in me, even at my worst!
I want you to see the best in me, girl you know it's true. I want you to see the best in me, cause I see the best of me in You!
The entire school cheered as Adagio and her sisters performed and there in the crowd stood Juniper, mesmerized by Adagio's words and movements. "OK, that's it, no more putting it off. Tonight I'm going to tell Adagio how I feel about her!" Juniper confidently told herself as she looked back up on the stage to see her crush waving at the crowd.
"C'mon Unc, they'll be here any minute! We've got to make sure everything is perfect!" Juniper nervously squealed as she ran back and fourth in the back yard trying to make sure everything was perfect.
"Juniper, calm down." Her uncle sighed. "I've directed thirty five movies and hosted countless social events I'm pretty sure I can handle cooking for a couple of teenage girls." The older man chuckled at his niece.
Juniper just paused and stared nervously at her uncle. "And you remembered that Fluttershy and Sunset are vegetarians right? And that Twilight's allergic to pickles or that Adagio and her sisters prefer fish patties!?" Juniper nervously asked her caretaker.
"Yea Junebug" her uncle sighed as he flipped one of the burgers. Half the burgers are Veggie and I got some salmon patties too, I even got some of that fancy flavored water you said that Rarity girl liked. Everything is fine, I'm sure they'll love it. That they'll love you." The kindly old cinematographer reassured her.
"Oh thanks Unc! You're the best!" Juniper replied giving the old man a hug. "Yea, I know he replied with a chuckle. All of a sudden the doorbell rang. "Well, sounds like they,re here, you ready Junebug?" The old man asked.
Juniper just gulped. "As ready as I'll ever be I suppose" she nervously replied.
Over the course of the party Juniper did her best to try to tell Adagio how she felt but was foiled at near every turn. She tried telling her how much she had loved The Dazzlings new song but RD overheard and butted in proclaiming the Rainbooms songs were better. She tried to ask her about the food but as fate would have it Twilight had accidentialy eaten one of the burgers with Pickles on it so she had to help Sunset take her to the restroom and then when she tried to ask her what movies she'd been watching lately Pinkie butted in and started randomly talking about Bridleway musicals! Sufficed to say the evening had not gone as Juniper had planned. But thankfully there was one last chance. As the sun went down Juniper's uncle set up a screen and projector outside.
"OK, who's ready for a movie?" He asked the girls as they all set down on a blanket in front. Juniper being sure to sit close to Adagio
"So what are we watching this year Unc!" Juniper asked with a smile.
"I got a special treat for you girls" Juniper's uncle replied. "We're gonna watch the first flick I ever worked on. Space Parrots From Planet 9!" He happily exclaimed.
All of a sudden Juniper's face fell flat as she said nothing as her uncle set-up the reel and began playing the film. Adagio meanwhile could tell something was wrong but didn't say anything as she had no desire to stir-up trouble.
After a little over an hour into the movie everyone had gotten into a comfortable position as they laid back and watched the cheesy old Sci-fi flick. Everyone save Juniper who was becoming quite obviously increasingly on edge until she couldn't take it anymore and ran back into the house.
"Junebug? What's wrong?" The uncle shouted as the others looked on in surprise quite confused by Juniper's random outburst. All accept for Adagio who slowly got up and told the rest with a confident smile "Don't worry, I'll handle it." The group still just looking on in confusion as Adagio slowly walked towards the house.
Inside the house Adagio could here sobbing coming from the nearest guest bath. She slowly walked up and knocked on the door. "Junie it's Dag, you ok?" She asked the sobbing green haired teen.
"I-i'm sorry I-I-oh I ruined the party." Juniper sobbed. "And on top of that every time I tried to talk to you I got interuppted!" She continued to cry.
Adagio just sighed as she opened up the door and stepped inside. "Well, I'm here now, so wanna tell me what's Wrong?" She softly asked.
Juniper looked up at Adagio. "I-its that stupid movie!" Juniper hissed.
Adagio quite taken back by this just chuckled. "I mean yea it's pretty cheesy but I don't think...." But before Adagio could finish Juniper interrupted.
"That-that's not what I mean!" Juniper angrily huffed. "I-its just that that movie, the last time I watched it. The last time I watched it was the same summer my parents died!" Juniper sobbed.
Adagio just paused, not prepared for such a response. "I-i'm sorry, I had no idea." Adagio somberly replied now feeling sympathy pains for Juniper as she too knew the pain of losing ones parents.
"Oh Adagio, I-I." Juniper stammered as she stood back up and looked in the sirens eyes some primal urge inside her taking over as she rocketed right towards Adagio's lips and embraced her in a kiss. At first Adagio was surprised by this but she too quickly got caught up in the heat of the moment and reciprocated Juniper's kiss in kind with one of her own. Before she knew it the two were in the room's small tub and pulling at each other's cloths in an attempt to get them off as they continued to passinionantly kiss and carress one another. Meanwhile the rest of the group had gone back to watching the movie, save for Aria who could just sense that something was up as she stared angrily at the house. She didn't know what exactly but she knew something was going on in there.
