Sonata and Strum parked his car at the curb near where the card said this club was. It seemed to be a hole in the wall type of place in the shopping district. Something in the air felt familiar to Sonata...really familiar. As they got closer to the source, the feeling grew inside of Sonata: her cheeks became flushed and her core was set ablaze, her mind filling with the need to rip off Strum Rhythm’s clothes. She started to kiss Strum's neck as they continued to walk.

"Are you alright Sonata?" he chuckled giving her an amused look. Sonata stared into his amethyst eyes as she laughed in a dazed state, her mind heading to when the two had met.

Sonata Dusk sighed in the empty classroom. It used to be that she, Adagio, and Aria would be in the choir class for one day and rule the school for four years, everyone at their beck and call while leaving anarchy in their wake. Now, two weeks since they'd lost their magic, things were different.

Thanks to boredom one hundred years ago, Sonata learned how to play the piano. She still made mistakes every now and then, but that's only because she stopped for fifty years. Now that she was alone, the music was comforting. At least she didn't lose that part of the music.

Sonata stopped playing in the small room, stepping out to the main choir room she walked over to the back wall. While being in the soundproof room would've been ideal, you're not allowed in the room unless your playing on the piano.

"Good thing I have headphones," Sonata chirped as she pulled out her wired earbuds. She slide her back down the wall as she placed them in her ears. The best part in Sonata's opinion about the choir room was people left you alone if you didn't speak to them. Sonata smiled as she lowered her volume and turned on a bondage video.

Sonata watched as the actress was bound in tape, a pair of socks stuffed inside her mouth before three strips were applied to keep the socks inside. Sonata closed her eyes and imagined herself in the woman's place, her master teasing her as one hand squeezed her breast.

He told her about her new life as his slave: if he let her go out, she would wear latex underwear underneath her regular clothes. Otherwise she'd only be allowed to wear skimpy latex costumes, locked in a torturous pair of stilettos. The best or worse part, would be where he places the keys to her restraints. They would be so close that she could reach them, yet as he assure her, she would be unable to do so.

Sonata felt someone shake her shoulder, taking out of her fantasy. Standing above her was bronze skinned boy with two toned brown shaggy hair, mischievous amethyst eyes looking down at her. He wore well fitted black jeans and a aquamarine shirt, a patch sewn on his left sleeve depicting a guitar pick styled metronome.

"Hey perv, lunch is over," he stated in a joking tone. He then waved goodbye as he left the room, leaving a blushing and horrified Sonata with people filing in for class.

For the next week, anytime Sonata Dusk saw him, the boy would give her a knowing smirk. She waited for someone else to mock her or teachers to threaten taking away her phone but none came. As the next Friday came, Sonata confronted him after school at his car.

"Hey you, what's your deal?" she asked in a haughty tone as he was about to enter his car.

"What do you mean, Perv?" he asked with a smile, looking amused at the attitude she was giving him.

"You know what I mean." She pouted, wagging her finger, "It's been a week and nothing has happened. Someone only keeps stuff quiet when they want something. So what is you want huh?" she asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Well," he sighed, looking up for a moment. "There's this pretty girl with blue hair I've been trying to figure out. Maybe you could help me?" he asked sweetly.

"Who’s that?" Sonata asked as she scratched the top of her head.

"You. I haven't told anyone because I like you," he told her, nodding his head. Sonata thought for a moment.

"So if I go out with you, you won't tell anyone?" Sonata asked with a smile. "Deal." The boy was taken back by the quick answer.

"Just like that? You don't even know my name," he said, his vigor from earlier now lost.

"Well, do you know my name?" she asked with a smirk, crossing her arms. He blushed, scratching his nose.

"You're Sonata Dusk. A friend of mine said you transferred from Canterlot High a month ago. I'm Strum Rhythm." Looking away, "I also know we're into the same stuff, I mean not exactly the same I think." Sonata looked around with a blush then leaned forward.

"Can we have this talk in your car?" she asked him He pressed a button on his keys as the other doors unlocked, allowing her to get into the car.

That was three months ago. Since then they hadn’t been able to do everything Sonata had imagined, but they had done a lot. Sonata almost tripped as Strum stopped in the alley between The Big Wig Warehouse and Checkmate Game Shop

"This can't be right" he said as he stepped toward the wall at the end of the alley. "The address has to be here, but there’s no building, just the alley, and just a wall." he said with a frown as he pointed it out to Sonata.

The wall was decorated with a beautiful scenery of a forest with a golden arch in the middle. While Strum was rereading the card (and cursing Braeburn's name) Sonata looked closer at the archway, drawn to it. The image was a gold frame with six jewels on the top inside a pink gem carved like a flame. The sides however had writing on them, writing that shouldn't be in this world.

"Strummy, let me see the card," she asked, her hand stretching behind her to get the card. Strum gave his girlfriend an odd look she couldn't see, then placed it in her hand. Sonata smiled, turning it over, seeing a missing piece of the picture on the back. Holding it up, she peered at the image on the wall.

"Sonata, my little song... What are you doing?" Strum asked as she just stood there with the card on the wall. Sonata shook her head then laughed.

"Wait a second, I need to touch the gate. Duh, Strummy," she stated before placing the card on the drawn archway. The moment the card touched the gold paint the jewels atop the gate started to glow. The bricks in the middle of the arch began popping off the wall and sliding away. In a matter of seconds a doorway formed for Sonata and the shocked Strum Rhythm to step through.

"Wha-huh?! Did... But... The bricks moved!" Strum muttered while Sonata clapped her hands.

"Now that is a neat gateway," she said cheerily, looking back to Strum. "It's like that story with the kid that turns out to be a wizard." Strum looked between her and the opening.

"How did you know to do that? Was that, I mean I heard the rumors but was that magic?" He asked her as he hesitantly touched the cleared out portion of the wall. Sonata was amused at his surprise, kissing his cheek.

"Come on Strummy, adventure awaits," Sonata said as she entered the doorway.

"That didn't answer my question," Strum shouted as he ran after her, into the hole.

The wall closed behind them, leaving them in darkness for a moment while their eyes adjusted. When the moment passed, Sonata and Strum could see they were standing on a dimly lit platform large enough for groups to come and go while also being small enough that only three or four people could idle comfortably.

"Wow, this place is huge," Sonata commented sarcastically as the two looked around at the crystals emitting light. Strum looked back at where they entered, then to the stairs.

"Well, I guess there's nowhere else to go but down," Strum stated, eliciting a groan from the siren.

"I was promised I'd have some bondage fun. You never said anything about stairs," Sonata moaned as she gave Strum Rhythm a pout.

"Well, consider this punishment for stealing my tacos. Again." Strum replied as he began to walk down the stairs.

"I wanted sexy punishment!" Sonata whined as she followed him down the stairs. The duo walked for three minutes down the stairs to another landing, a kiosk standing to the right of the stairs with a box sitting on top.

"Please place your card in the box," a bell like voice rang down from the ceiling. Strum looked at Sonata who shrugged then did as the voice asked, placing the small card in the box and closing the lid. "Thank you and welcome Strum Rhythm. Please take your medallion and guest pass."

Strum opened the box again to find a bronze disc about the size of a golf ball on a chain. The surface had a stylized C on the left side and a S on the right. In the middle of the C, a topaz had been placed, making the disk pop. Next to it was a smaller pin with of the same color with the phrase Guest of Strum Rhythm on it.

"A representative will be waiting for you in the main cavern. Welcome to The Clocktower Society," the melodic voice called to the two.

"Hey, how come I don't get a medal?" Sonata asked.

"I guess Braeburn didn't tell them about you," Strum guessed as he looked down at more stairs leading into a cave.

"More stairs?" Sonata asked, her shoulders visibly sagging. Strum Rhythm shook his head then picked up Sonata in a bridal carry.

"Don't worry, my little song you won't have to walk down anymore evil stairs," Strum Rhythm informed her with a smile. Sonata was about to kiss his cheek when the two suddenly found themselves at the bottom of the stairs, a small tingle in their bodies. "...Literally," Strum said in surprise as he set her down.

The two looked at each other then forward, finding the Clocktower representative looking shocked. She had gold skin and her long hair was like a Sunset of red and gold, aquamarine eyes were filled with shock as looked Sonata.

"You?" the representative asked as she looked between the two. Sonata was nervous as she looked at the representative.

"Oh... Hey, Sunset Shimmer. You’re a member?" Sonata asked, getting out of Strum Rhythm’s arms.

"I run it," Sunset said flatly, glaring at the siren. "Along with the other girls. What are you doing here?" she asked with a growl.

"She's with me. I'm Braeburn's friend, Strum Rhythm," Strum said as he held Sonata's shoulder comfortingly. Sonata rested her head against his hand as she looked at Sunset Shimmer. "I'm guessing your from Canterlot High?" Strum asked, causing Sonata to begin sweating bullets.

"She told you what happened?" Sunset asked in a skeptical tone as she watched the uncomfortable siren.

"No. Anytime I bring it up, she changes the subject," he answered while Sunset Shimmer looked at Sonata.

"Are you going to tell him? Or should I?" Sunset asked Sonata, and the siren began to cry, imagining the worst was about to happen as she shook her head.

"I'll do it. I should have done it two months ago." Sonata said to Sunset, turning around to Strum. "It's a long story, but I need to start at the beginning. Adagio, Aria and I were at a diner outside of town..."

Ten Minutes Later...

By the time Sonata finished, six other girls had joined Sunset Shimmer, listening to Sonata's version of the Battle of The Bands, the siren looking as if she would shatter on the spot.

"I didn't know how to tell you without sounding crazy. I did want to tell you though, but I was just scared I'd lose you,." Sonata begged as Strum looked deep in thought looking at Sonata then to the six girls. "Strummy, say something! Please!" Sonata whimpered.

"So, you never once used magic in our relationship, right?" Strum asked, Sonata shook her head in response muttering, “Don’t have any anymore”. "So, everything I've felt has been real." This caused the siren to nod her head. "Then nothing has really changed," he stated simply, giving Sonata a smile.

"Aww," three of the girls watching exclaimed, holding their hearts while Sonata jumped into Strum's arms.

"Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. Can I remind you guys that she's a siren?! Are we really just gonna be okay with this?" the rainbow haired girl of the seven asked, looking at her friends.

"Come on Dashie," the curly pink haired girl began, "it’s pretty obvious she's changed. Plus I'm not getting a Pinkie-sense that she's lying."

The girl in the glasses raised her hand to interject. "Why don't we just vote? That way it'll be fair?"

"Twilight's right, there are seven of us so it can’t end in a tie," Sunset stated. "I vote we let Sonata join," she added, giving a smile to the couple.

"I vote we don't," the rainbow maned girl announced. "No offense and all but how do we know this isn't a trick?" she asked while looking at the girls.

"I agree with Rainbow Dash," the blonde said with a southern accent. "For all we know this could be some trap. I gotta vote no."

"Your concerns are valid, Applejack, but that display of affections has touched me. I simply must vote yes," the purple haired girl said.

"Umm... I can see that you both really do care for each other, and maybe you are trying to change... But...I vote no too. Sorry," the shyest one of the group said.

"I'm with Rarity on this one and vote yes!" the pink haired girl said energetically.

"So Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and I vote yes while, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy vote no." Sunset turned to Twilight, "You’re the deciding vote Twi."

The bookish girl fidgeted in place with all eyes on her.

"I get where the others are coming from, but I think if the princess me was here she'd say we should give her a chance like you were given. Especially if we want to be an inclusive club. So I vote yes that we let Sonata join," Twilight stated, looking between the girls then to Strum and Sonata.

"That's four to three. Sonata, welcome to the Clocktower Society," Sunset Shimmer declared with a warm smile.

"Just keep your nose clean, ‘cause we'll be watching," Rainbow Dash added, standing behind Sunset.

"So we're members now?" Sonata asked excited.

"In a way," Sunset stated, “but only probationary members. Like the branch in Equestria we do need to get you both tested for sexual diseases and do a background check. Well, a background check for Strum at least. After that, you both need to take safety classes for at least a week. Once you pass all that, you make your collar and mask and then you’re full members." Hearing this Sonata moaned.

"Why?!? All I wanted was to get tied up," Sonata said, getting a blush from Applejack and Fluttershy while electing a laugh from Rainbow Dash.

"Don't worry Darling, you may not get tied up tonight, but you can watch… maybe even get some ideas." Rarity cooed as she looked to Sunset Shimmer. "Dashie and I can conduct their tour while you get Sonata's medal, Sunset."

"Thanks girls. Strum, Sonata, I'll see you after your tour." Sunset and the others walked away as Sunset and Twilight walked to the admin room.

Sonata and Strum followed Rarity and Rainbow to the center of the cavern where a pink heart shaped flame burned.

"It can't be," Sonata gasped as she took a step toward the display. "That's the Flame of Devotion. One of the strongest sources of magic there is," Sonata said in awe as she reached a hand up to the flames. “What’s it doing here?”

"Sonata, that might not be a good idea," Strum said despite the soothing feeling the flame gave off. Sonata shuddered as she put her hand down, Rarity clearing her throat.

"As Sonata said, this is a large source of magic called the Flame of Devotion, or put correctly, a small part of it. However, what she doesn’t know however, is that the flames are strengthened by the members of the Society," Rarity explained.

"Pretty much the more kinky sex we have, the stronger the fire gets," Rainbow Dash reiterated, while Rarity simply looked horrified at her friend’s crude description.

"Come along, we still have much to see," Rarity stated as she lead the group away. Unbeknownst to them a pink heart shined on Sonata's hand then vanished.
