"This is stupid!" Aria Blaze huffed as she put on her rather risque maid outfit looking at herself in the bathroom mirror.

"You're just afraid you'll lose" Juniper mocked making a sexy pose in her outfit, giving Aria a teasing wink.

"Trixie still does not see the point of all this, but Trixie admits she looks quite ravishing in this outfit" The light blue teen admitted admiring herself in the mirror.

"Afraid, why would I be afraid of you" Aria angrily growled at Juniper.

"Well obviously you're the only one who isn't an actress" Juniper teased flicking Aria on the nose. "I've been watching my uncle make movies my entire life and Trixie is in the Drama Club, we'll woo circles around you" Juniper mischievously chuckled.

"Oh, is that what you think?" Aria chuckled back "OK, then guess I'll just have to prove you wrong!" Aria replied as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Juniper and Trixie looking at the shortest siren in suspense. Aria then opened her eyes and said in the most disgustingly cute innocent voice they had ever heard from the rowdy girl "Hello Mistress how may I serve you this fine morning?" she finished with a curtsy and a rather adorable smile.

"Holy crap, she can act!" Juniper internally panicked. Before regaining her composure "OK, so you're not half bad the girl admitted readjusting her glasses, Aria just smiling devilishly at her.

"Um, Trixie hates to interrupt but shouldn't we get in position before Adagio wakes up so we can get...what ever the heck this is started?" Trixie chimed in, the other two girls just looking at her and nodding in agreement.

The sun shown brightly through the large window's of Sunset's loft and Adagio reluctantly stretched and moaned as the day seemed to be demanding she wake-up. "Why must you torture me sun!" Adagio groggily moaned as she slowly arose from her slumber and continued to stretch out her arms as she let out a rather large yawn before finally opening her eyes only to be jolted awake by a quite peculiar sight. There in front of here were Aria, Juniper & Trixie in the most ridiculously scantly clad and quite obviously purposely seductive maid-outfits she had ever seen. Adagio just set there looking dumbfounded as the three girls greeted her in unison.

"Good Morning Mistress, how may we serve you today!?" The girls happily asked Adagio. The siren leader just continuing to stare at the group before finally loudly muttering..... "Seriously!?"

Adagio set at the table as the three ridiculous cosplayers continued to silently stare at her. "So, let me get this straight" Adagio began "You three, for....whatever reason just decided you, wanted to be my maids today!?" Adagio asked still rather confused by the whole thing.

"Yes Mistress, today we are yours to use however you wish" Trixie replied in a sultry tone. Juniper and Aria nodding in agreement.

"OK then" Adagio bluntly replied. "This is obviously some kind of ploy, one of these morons came up with this crazy idea to try to seduce me or something" Adagio angrily monologue internally to herself. "Well the joke is on them, they wanna be maids, fine i'll treat them like maids" Adagio chuckled as she looked up at the girls and gave a faux-innocent smile.

"In that case I do have a few requests" Adagio innocently admitted. The three girls now looking eagerly at her wondering what they could be.

"Trixie, be a dear and make me some breakfast ok?" Adagio politely commanded "And Juniper the restroom tile is looking a bit faded would you be a dear and give it a good wax." Adagio continued to smile. "Oh and Aria i'm sure Sunset would ever so appreciate it if you organized her bookshelf for her" Adagio cooed.''

The three girls just stood there dumbfounded, these commands obviously not at all what they were expecting, well except making breakfast, that one made sense.

"Well, don't just sit there, hop to it!" Adagio commanded. The three girls just looking at one another and sighing "Yes, Mistress" before moving on to their various appointed tasks.

"It is done, the great and powerful Trixie has cooked a great and healthy breakfast!" Trixie boasted as she puffed out her chest with pride and placed the plate of egg-whites and fruit in front of Adagio. "So what do you think Ada-er mitress?" Trixie clumsily asked, trying to save herself from almost breaking character. Adagio looked down at the plate and had to admit the meal didn't look half bad as she stuck her fork into the egg-white and began to cut, slowly putting a piece up into her mouth and chewing, Trixie looking on in earnest.

"Eh, not half bad I guess" Adagio replied in a rather blunt manner.

"N-Not half bad! Not half bad, EVERYTHING TRIXIE DOES IS PERFECT!!" The showgirl internally raged as she looked down at Adagio, letting out a heavy breath and quickly regaining her composure. "Well, Trixie is glad to hear it, is there anything else Trixie can do for you mistress!?" Trixie asked doing the best to hide her anger in her voice as she bent down and gave Adagio full view of her ample cleavage. Adagio just looking over at Trixie as she swallowed another bite. "No, not really i'm good" The stubborn siren leader replied, Trixie now visibly showing signs she was getting annoyed that her advances weren't effecting Adagio in the slightest, the Dazzling meanwhile doing her best to refrain from laughing knowing her friend must be livid that this little scheme of their's wasn't working as they had planned.

"Welp, that's enough breakfast for now I guess" Adagio stated as she pushed back the half-eaten plate and began to walk over towards Aria who was up on a ladder re-arranging the top of Sunset's bookshelf. "So how go thing's up there dear sister?" Adagio mockingly asked the siren turned maid, still doing her best not to chuckle as she could quite visibly see Aria's stripped pink and green panties from under the ladder. Aria turning around and letting out a small shriek before falling off the ladder causing Adagio to catch her.

"O-oh mistress you frightened me!" Aria blushed as Adagio held the short girl "T-thank you for saving me" She sang as she looked up at Adagio with the most ridiculously cutesie expression she could muster. Adagio just looking at her sister with a serious face before dropping her down on the floor, her bum hitting the wood quite hard. "You should be more careful" Adagio stated before moving off towards the restroom to check on Juniper "Damn it, that hurt!" Aria whined underneath her breath.

"Oh Junebug, you get that floor waxed yet?" Adagio playfully asked as she opened the door only to quickly get her answer as she found herself sliding straight into the lime-green girl.

"Ow, ow ow!" Adagio huffed as she looked up to find herself right on top of Juniper.

"Oh mistress, i'm sorry, I guess I put too much wax on the floor, what a fool I am, I fear you will have to punish me!" Juniper faux-whined.

Adagio just growled as anger filled up inside her. "You want to be punished, fine you can be punished!" Adagio replied giving Juniper a devious smile.

"What is this!?" Juniper angrily shrieked pointing to the dunce hat on her head as she set on a stool in the corner.

"Well you said you should be punished, this is your punishment" Adagio smiled in reply.

"Why do you even have a dunce hat!?" Juniper angrily shrieked.

"Aria made it for Sonata, used to make her sit in the corner and wear it anytime she felt our sister had done something incredibly stupid" Adagio explained further mocking the obviously disgruntled girl. "Now since you can't even seem to wax a floor correctly I think sitting there with that on your head for an hour is a worthy punishment, wouldn't you agree?" Adagio teasingly asked Juniper.

"yes, mistress" Juniper reluctantly agreed with a sigh.

"Good, meanwhile i'm going to take a shower, the two of you watch her and make sure she doesn't move" Adagio chuckled at the remaining girls as she walked past them and back towards the bathroom giving them a wink as she closed the door behind her.

"Well, this is going swimmingly" Trixie huffed looking over at Juniper

"Told you this wouldn't work" Aria likewise mocked the girl.

"It will work! We...we just have to be patient, we'll wear her down eventually! Just you wait and see!" Juniper retorted as she stuck out her tongue the dunce cap still firmly placed atop her head as she continued to sit on the rather uncomfortable stool.

After Adagio finished her shower and finished getting dressed she opened the door letting the lingering steam of the bathroom dissipate as it followed her back out into the main part of the loft, looking over in the corner as she flipped her hair seeing that Juniper was still obediently sitting there, but looking a bit squimish. Aria and Trixie meanwhile had most likely gotten bored as they were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Everything OK Junebug?" Adagio mockingly asked the wanna-be maid.

"Y-yes, m-mistress,b-but" Juniper stuttered

"But what?" Adagio asked

"I-I...I n-need t-to relieve myself...please" Juniper stated as she continued to squirm.

"Well, I dunno it hasn't quite been an hour yet" Adagio replied looking down at the obviously uncomfortable Juniper

"P-please mistress" Juniper begged

"Are you going to give-up on this silly routine!?" Adagio asked her with a devious smile

"I-I don't-I-uh, No-probably not mistress" Juniper replied.

Adagio just let out a disgruntled huff "Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I guess I do commend you for your honesty, fine you may get out of time out and go, powder your nose" Adagio chuckled, Juniper just acknowledging this with a simple nod as she ran towards the restroom herself.

Later after Juniper had finished freshening up the three girls still just stood beside the couch as Adagio set and watched TV. Adagio just looked over at the group who for some reason was still determined to stick to this ruse. Adagio turned off the TV and looked at the girls. "Fine if you're still gonna commit to this shtick you might as well make yourself useful." Adagio chuckled. "Aria you clean under the TV stand, Trixie you clean the kitchen and Juniper, my shoulders are aching a bit, why not give em a good rub down" Adagio commanded the three maids, the girls just looking at her with a short pause before replying, "Yes mistress!"

Adagio continued to lay on the couch with the TV back on, occasionally looking down and resisting the urge to chuckle as she saw Aria doing her best to clean under the TV display, her panties once again in full sight and her ass shaking back and fourth like a dog wagging it's tail. And though she hated to admit it a very small part of her was getting a bit turned on by the display, or perhaps it was the relaxing message Juniper was giving Adagio, the girl had started on her shoulders but then extended her parameters moving back and fourth between her shoulders, her neck and even being bold enough to message her back. And as much as Adagio hated to admit it the feeling was quite pleasant and relaxing, doing her best not to get lost in the sensation however she switched her attention over to the kitchen and saw Trixie diligently cleaning the kitchen, humming a happy tune as she spun around her skirt flirting around and her breasts bouncing a bit, the sight was equally ridiculous and adorable to the siren leader.

Juniper looked down at Adagio and could tell that the girl's stubborn resolve was weakining. "Now's my chance" Juniper thought as let out a small chuckle, moving her arms from Adagio's shoulders towards her breasts, the surprised siren giving out a small mixture of a shriek and a moan "You know mistress if you enjoy this there is so much more I can do for you?" Juniper seductively cooed into Adagio's ear. Adagio just looking-up at Juniper and replying "O-oh no, th-that's fine you're doing a fine job as is darling" Adagio replied trying her best to act as if she was still in control of the situation, however it guickly became evident that such was not the case as she noticed Aria and Trixie moving in on her as well.

"You know mistress, perhaps you would like a foot massage as well" Trixie playfully teased as she removed Adagio's socks and began to rub her left foot, Adagio letting out another low moan as the sensation jolted through her body, Aria following suite and doing the same to her right foot, meanwhile Juniper continued to Message Adagio's body rotating from her neck to her shoulders to her back and her breasts and finally teasing her by messaging her ears and softly rubbing her temples. Adagio couldn't help it anymore her entire body felt like it was melting and her inhibitions were slowly melting away as her relaxed state led her back to thought of her dream from the other night and a sense of lustful domination began to take over.

All of a sudden Adagio's gemstone in the palm of her hand began to glow and she could feel a transformation taking place, this one was different then her usual ponying-up however, it felt more primal, more bestial, adagio could feel some ancient force inside her just begging to get out, she could feel her hands turning more claw-like a fin trying to grow on her back, her nethers aching as.......

"NO!!!" Adagio souted as a bolt of red energy surged through the room knocking the other girls back as Adagio jumped-up in a panic.

"W-what was that!" Trixie asked looking at the others rather confused, then the three looking-up at Adagio who had a rather scared look on her face. The poofy haired girl quickly running towards the door as she grabbed her hoodie and ran off.

"Adagio, wait!" Aria shouted as the door slammed behind her and the three girls continued to look on in confusion.

"Nice going nerdette!" Aria growled as she looked at Juniper who was picking herself back-up on the other side of the couch.

"Adagio ran as the rain began to pour down on the streets of Canterlot City, she wasn't sure what had just happened but it had scared her more then anything had scared her in a long time, she ran and ran until she tripped and fell face first into a puddle. Adagio whined as she picked herself up and realized she had ran all the way to the park, she had been in such a panic she hadn't even been aware of where she had been going or how long she had been running.

"Wh-what do I do now!?" Adagio nervously asked herself as she set down on a nearby bench and shivered. "I-I've never felt anything like that before, that-that wasn't pony magic or siren magic, w-what was that!?" Adagio nervously asked herself again as she looked down at her reflection in a nearby puddle, her face looking normal, despite being a little dirty and her hair quite frizzed out. "I, I need help...b-but who!?" She pondered as she continued to sit and think about which of her friends would be the best to go to in this situation.

Sunset and Twilight set on the couch in Twilight's living room as they watched an old scary movie as the storm outside caused the old house to creek and moan adding an extra creepy atmosphere to the event. All of a sudden the two heard the doorbell ring and an already high strung Twilight grabbed Sunset's arm and squeezed it tight, Sunset eventually getting Twilight to calm down and freeing herself from the frightened girls grip, reassuring her she would be fine as she went to answer the door. Though as Sunset approached the front of Twilight's house she too began to feel uneasy and clutched her geode tight just in case as she opened the door, letting out a sigh of relief to see it wasn't some monster, just Adagio Dazzle, though admittingly looking quite the worse for wear.

"H-help, p-please" Adagio rasped looking-up at Sunset Shimmer, the bacon haired girl quite obviously seeing the fear & distress in Adagio's eyes.

"S-sure thing, come on in" Sunset quickly replied as she motioned for Adagio to enter the domicile.

Sometime later after Adagio had calmed down and been given some hot caramel tea by Twilight as she explained what had happened the two girls just looked at Adagio somewhat dumbfounded.

"So, you-you actually made friends with Trixe? Trixie of all people!?" Twilight asked quite shocked.

"Um, Twi Honey, I don't think that's what she wanted us to take as the main thing from the conversation" Sunset teased "Though I do agree it is pretty impressive" Sunset chuckled in an attempt to help lighten the mood.

"Yea-I guess" Adagio agreed with a rasp.

"But it seems the real concern here is something those three did activated some kind of.....unknown magic inside of you" Sunset replied her tone once again a serious one.

"Yea, i've never felt something like that before, it wasn't pony magic or siren magic, it-it was something darker, something much more....primal" Adagio nervously agreed.

"But-why now? Why would something like this be happening to Adagio now?" Twilight asked rather confused.

"I'm not quite sure, but it may be something to do with the potions Starswirl and Stygian made back in Equestria to give the Dazzlings back their magic" Sunset replied "They used magical elements from a bunch of different stones and creatures, it's possible this could be a delayed side-effect." Sunset theorized.

"So what!? Anytime I get horny i'm gonna turn into a beast!?" Adagio angrily huffed up at the unicorn teen.

"Well, not necessarily, this could have just been a one time thing!?" Sunset tried to reassure the siren.

"Or it could just be the start of a really big problem" Twilight pessimistically interjected.

"Not helping Sweetie" Sunset sternly stated looking over at Twilight

"So...what should I do!?" Adagio asked looking up at Sunset with rather desperate eyes.

"I'm sorry Adagio, i'm still figuring out how magic works in this world myself, I can't really tell you what to do, at the end of the day it's up to you." Sunset regretfully informed her friend.

"OK then, thanks anyway" Adagio sighed as she got up and began to head towards the door. "I think I know what I have to do, but i'm not gonna like it" Adagio gulped as she headed back out into the rain, Sunset and Twilight just looking on feeling both sorry and concerned for their friend.

Back at Sunset's loft the three girls just set in silence and waited hoping Adagio would soon return,

"Trixie thinks we really messed up" The silver haired showgirl pouted

"We didn't mess anything, this whole stupid ploy was Juniper's idea!" Aria growled

"Y-you're right, i'm sorry-I got ahead of myself, I was too impatient" Juniper confessed hanging her head low in utter disappointment of herself.

Thankfully though all three girl's moods improved quite quickly as they heard the door open and saw Adagio walk back in.

"Oh thank heavens, Trixie was so worried!" Trixie exclaimed as she got up the couch and ran towards her new friend

"Sis!" Aria replied a she too began to run towards her big sister

"Adagio" Juniper sobbed as she slowly walked up to the quite soaked girl.

"I-i'm sorry Adagio, this whole thing was my dumb Idea, I-I didn't mean to upset you!" Juniper began.

"Just shut-up ok" Adagio interrupted.

"W-what!?" Juniper asked rather surprised by her potential girlfriend's reaction

"I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DUMB BITCH!!" Adagio screamed right in Juniper's face.

Juniper just stood there silent and dumbfounded staring at Adagio, Trixie and Aria doing the same.

"What the Hell is wrong with you, pulling off some stupid ploy like this, it's just pathetic!" Adagio continued looking at Juniper quite menacingly. "I can't believe you thought something stupid like that would work, are you that desperate to be loved by someone that you would dress-up in such a ridiculous outfit to try to seduce me!?" Adagio continued to scold.

Juniper just continued to look at Adagio silent and dumbfounded. "And you!" Adagio growled turning her attention to Trixie "I thought you wanted to learn how to be a good friend, but here you are acting like some airheaded bimbo, pathetic, I can't believe I ever even considered letting you be my friend!" Adagio growled at Trixie, the showgirl obviously quite hurt by these words.

"And you...Aria, my own sister" Adagio began looking at the shortest siren with anger filling her eyes "I expect so much better from you, you disgrace the name of the Dazzlings acting like this, I am so, so ashamed!" Adagio finished. The three girls all still frozen by her words.

"YOU ALL DISGUST ME, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT NOW!!" Adagio screeched loud enough causing the room to shake, and in a panic Juniper and Trixie followed her commands and ran out the door, not even bothering to take the time to grab an umbrella or change out of their maid outfits. Aria meanwhile was still frozen, just staring at Adagio.

"I thought I said I wanted all of you out of my sight!" Adagio huffed.

Aria froze for a second and gulped "c-c'mon sis, calm down, I mean yea, I-it was a silly idea, but-you know how these humans are." Aria stuttered trying to calm her sister down.

"That may be an excuse for them but you know better Aria, I can't believe you were desperate enough to go through with this, you disappoint me most of all, I thought you had more respect for yourself then this, but look at you in that ridiculous outfit....right now i'm ashamed to even call you my sister" Adagio scolded as she closed her eyes and quickly looked away from Aria.

The harsh words pierced through Aria like a knife, Adagio, her big sister, her leader, one of the people she admired and loved most in the world had just ripped her heart into shreds with words alone. Aria just remained silent as she walked towards the dresser drawer and got out her usual cloths, slowly changing out of the maid outfit and into her everyday dress, minus her usual pigtails. With an at least unemberassing outfit on Aria slowly crawled towards the door and grabbed her hoodie as she too slowly left the loft.

Adagio looked back after Aria had closed the door and did the best to hold back her tears "This, this is for the best, they may hate me now, but if they aren't here, if they aren't here I can't hurt them." Adagio mentally reassured herself as she set down on the couch and began to sob.

Meanwhile, across town......

Octavia Melody got off the bus and propped-up her umbrella as not to be bothered by the pouring rain. "I shan't let some silly rain ruin my dinner!" Octavia chuckled to herself as she made sure to hold her Hayburger bag tight against her as to make sure it wouldn't fall victim to the heavy rains.

"Hey, what yea got there neighbor?" she heard a voice-up ahead ask as she approached her home. In front of her was Indigo Zap, looking well, looking quite insane if Octavia were to be quite honest. "Oh, hello Ms. Zap, what brings you out in this foul wheather?" Octavia politely asked not wanting to show any tinge of fear to the obviously intimidating girl.

"Oh, not much, just felt a bit.....hungry" Indigo laughed as Octavia noticed the girl was holding a rather hefty looking metal bat. At that sight Octavia's composure failed her and the fear became quite evident in her eyes. This of course was the moment Indigo had been waiting for as the electric haired villainness gave Ocatavia a flat out evil smile and began to slowly move towards her, the young girl dropping her bag and hiding behind her umbrella as she began to scream in fear.
