- >You are in the middle of a very important decision.
- >This could make or break you.
- >You had to decide between one of two things.
- >This would have a great impact on the rest of your day.
- >In actuality, you were just choosing between ice cream flavors.
- >Mint with chocolate chips, or Rocky Road.
- >It was a difficult choice, but you had to have that minty fresh flavor in your mouth.
- >Alright, now that that's done you should go ask Adagio out on a date.
- >You were probably going to regret this but you had no fucks to give.
- >You'd had your eye on her for a while.
- >She might be a bit of a jerk but you kinda liked her.
- >Well, maybe liked her a lot.
- >You might've been building up the courage to ask her out all this time.
- >There she was, with her two friends.
- >Wow, even you had more friends.
- >That was a little sad, actually.
- "Hey Dagi, mind if I ask you something?"
- >She turned and looked at you funny for a second.
- >"Do I know you?"
- "I'm uh... that guy that helps you out in class sometimes."
- >"Ah! Yes, the dashing young rogue. Please, spare me the pleasantries of getting to know you, ask and you shall receive."
- >You stared for a minute.
- "I'm... not even going to respond to that. I was just gonna ask you out on a date."
- >"Look, there's asking, then there's wishing. You're gonna need to do more than that."
- >She hops off the table and starts walking circles around you.
- >She's small and in charge.
- >"But congratulations! You passed the first test! You actually had the balls to ask me."
- >She gives you a devilish grin.
- >"Now let's see how you perform under pressure."
- >"Do you find my voice sexy? Does it bother you?"
- "A little, maybe."
- >She gives a little huff, "Well you could've at least humored me."
- >She runs her fingers across your arms, and hops up onto your back to whisper in your ear.
- >"Do you feel uncomfortable with me riding you?"
- "A little, but mostly because you're a bit heavy for such a small girl."
- >"Well, seems we've got ourselves a smartass girls. I like it."
- >She hops off of you and frowns.
- >"Tell me I'm the prettiest."
- "Why?"
- >"Just because."
- "I mean, I can do better than that."
- >You shrug.
- "Sonata is the cutest, Aria is the hottest, and you're the prettiest."
- >"Aw, thanks!"
- >"Damn right."
- >Dagi chuckled, "I'm glad you like my friends here. And I'm glad you got everything correct."
- >"Still, my voice usually breaks the boys. You're different... I need to test something, how good are you with people?"
- "I mean, I've always had a compelling voice, but I only have a few close friends."
- >"Try and get that table's attention. Do it."
- >You look over at the table with the school's various musicians.
- "Yo Vinyl, Tavi, the rest of you guys over there. What's up?"
- >They all stop what they're doing and wave at you, "Yo Anon, how's it hangin'?"
- >You give them a thumbs up.
- >Dagi looks interested now.
- >"Don't think this means I'm going to date you yet, but I will let you hang out with us... as a friend."
- "Eh, I'm okay with baby steps."
- >Sonata goes over to hug you and Aria gives you a high-five.
- >"Yay! A new friend!"
- >"Welcome to the club dude, you're here forever."
- >You hear Dagi mumble something.
- >"Could it be? No, don't talk like that."
- "What's on your mind?"
- >She shakes her head, "It was something stupid, just ignore me for now."
- "You just gonna keep me out of the loop?"
- >"Only until I confirm my suspicions."
- "I know my voice is nice but I don't get the big deal."
- >"You really are a clueless idiot, come on let's go."
- "What are we doing now?"
- >"I need you to ask the principals to let us leave early so we can go hang out in the park. I need to get away from all of this."
- "Okay then, how do you propose we do that?"
- >"Just, use your voice or something, I dunno. This is part of the test."
- >You walked into Celestia's office.
- >She was just sifting through some paperwork.
- >"Ah, Anonymous, how are you today?"
- "I'm good, mind if the Dazzlings and I go visit the park?"
- >"Hmm, I'm not sure."
- "We're all caught up on our schoolwork, we were planning on doing our homework later anyway. We have a study group."
- >"Wha-"
- >You shush Aria.
- >Celestia eyeballs you for a moment.
- >"Alright, you four have fun then! Don't get into too much trouble!"
- >As the four of you go out to your car and pile in, Adagio pulls you over for some words.
- >"I don't know how you're doing this, or even what you are. But there's more to you than meets the eye."
- >She leans up towards you and whispers.
- >"And I intend to find out everything. Every. Little. Detail."
- "Are you going to know what I was doing exactly one month, three days, and five minutes ago?'
- >"... Shut the fuck up and let's go. You're cuter when you're quiet."
- "Did you just-"
- >"No, now come on."
- >"You aren't seriously going to make us do a study group, are you?"
- "For the last time Aria, I was bullshitting my way through that whole thing."
- >"Good, cause last thing I need is more boring shit in my life."
- "Studying is good for you, in moderation."
- >"I know what I'd like to be studying right now."
- "Dude, trying to date Dagi, remember?"
- >"And I couldn't care less about that."
- "Well I do."
- >"Fine, be that way asshole... I can respect sticking to your gut though."
- >"Ariaaaa, what have I told you about trying to steal Dagi's dates?"
- >"That it's a dick move and I shouldn't do it?"
- >"Yes!"
- >"... Eh, you've had worse advice."
- >"Thanks!... Wait a minute."
- >"He's not my date."
- >"Not yet."
- >"Shut up Aria."
- >"She has a point, none of the other boys have managed to resist your sexy voice."
- >"... I'm just going to take the compliment and ignore the rest of that statement."
- "I figured you'd want someone to be into your voice."
- >"Not when it turns them into a blithering moron, people like you I can stand."
- "Fair enough."
- >Aria looks out the window and sighs.
- >"Looks like you're using the strap-on again tonight, Sonata."
- >"Yaaay! I get to do butt stuff with you again!"
- >Don't think about it.
- >"Hey Dagi, you should totally do butt stuff with Anon tonight!"
- >DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.
- >"No, and we're at the park."
- "... Hey wait, why was I letting you drive my car?"
- >She tosses the keys back to you and swings her hips a bit.
- >"Cause I'm in charge."
- >Okay then.
- >"So, how long have you been able to do this stuff?"
- "I dunno, as long as I can remember. Guess it's just a talent of mine."
- >She grumbles, "Well, if you aren't I could certainly make you one."
- "Am I gonna be part of a secret club?"
- >"Oh, you could say that."
- >"Dagi stop being weird, you're being weird. You're not usually weird, that's Sonata's job."
- >"Quiet you, I'm plotting."
- "What is she on about?"
- >"You might be getting a lot happier soon."
- >"Shut up Sonata."
- >"Just saying, it'd be nice for us too."
- >"You really need to stop. Like, right now."
- >"Alright, wouldn't wanna spoil the surprise."
- "Good thing I like surprises."
- >"If your body isn't ready it will be by the time I'm done with it."
- "Wow that's kinda hot."
- >You weren't sure what the fuck they were talking about, but you'd put up with it for Dagi.
- >Aria and Sonata ended up "accidentally" running off to leave you and Dagi alone.
- >"Ugh, I love those two but they can get a bit annoying."
- >Well, say something champ.
- "They aren't so bad."
- >"I guess you do get used to them."
- >You wiggle over to her.
- >"Don't touch me."
- "That's fine we could just stand here."
- >She lights up a cigarette.
- >"It is a nice view, isn't it?"
- >You chuckle.
- "Y'know that stuff'll kill you right?"
- >"Shut up, our magi- I mean, I'm just really lucky I guess."
- "Whatever, none of my business."
- >She blows a cloud of smoke out.
- >"Point is I'll be fine, just trust me. There are reasons I can start and stop whenever I want."
- "Oh please, share your secrets with the Quitter's Club."
- >"Is that an actual club?"
- "Not officially. I'm supposed to be in charge of it but I'll make an exception for you."
- >"Thanks. Glad you aren't a total buzzkill."
- "What can I say? I'm a nice guy."
- >"So modest too."
- "Bite me."
- >"Maybe later."
- "I'll look forward to it."
- >"Don't get your hopes up."
- >You stand there for a while, just shooting the shit.
- "And then he decides that instead of just waiting for us to get back with the condoms, he'd fuck her while wearing a sock."
- >"Oh wow, what a fucking moron."
- "Gotta give him credit for thinking of that though."
- >"True."
- >She stomps out her smoke and sprays herself down with a bottle of perfume.
- "I... can't even smell it anymore, the hell do you use?"
- >"If I told you it was a bottle of my sweat would you believe me?"
- "Fine, keep it to yourself."
- >She grins, "Thought so."
- "You're an odd one, y'know that?"
- >"Hello, my name is Adagio Dazzle! Perhaps you've met my friends Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk?"
- "Alright, you got a point. Still, I figured you'd be the reasonable one."
- >"I AM reasonable! You try hanging out with someone for a thou- a really long time and see how you like it!"
- >You give her a pat on the head.
- "I could hang out with you for a really long time and enjoy it."
- >Her eye twitches and she blushes a little.
- >More from anger than attraction.
- >"Just take the compliment Dagi, ignore his stupidity."
- "Just saying, wouldn't mind it."
- >"We should find those other two and get home... You got a place to stay?"
- "I have no attachments, aside from the stuff in my house."
- >"Do I wanna know?"
- "I might've inherited my house."
- >"Whatever, you're staying at our place tonight. I need to try something out."
- >The two of you found Aria and Sonata making out in a bush.
- >The bluebird looked up at you and grinned.
- >"Hey guys, wanna join us?"
- >"We have to get home now Sonata, can you stop pouncing Aria for five minutes?"
- >"I'll have you know it took six this time."
- >"... Alright, getting better."
- >The four of you headed off to their home.
- >You wondered what was in store for you tonight.
- "You guys have a beach house?"
- >"We might've acquired it, yes."
- "Do I wanna know?"
- >"Not really, unless you wanna go find some treasure out in the ocean."
- "... Damn, that's cold."
- >"It's really more lukewarm if anything."
- "Well, none of my business anyway. Who'd you get it from?"
- >"Some communist lady, doesn't really matter now."
- "So much for equality."
- >"I guess some people are more equal than others."
- >"Besides, it was on the beach. That's OUR turf."
- >"Yeah, it's kinda like our home."
- >Aria and Sonata go inside, leaving you and Dagi alone. Again.
- >"I need to take you out back to try something."
- "Jeez, out here? In public?"
- >"Shut up you pervert, nobody even comes up here. Nobody cared about the previous owner either."
- "You sure about that?"
- >"Eh, didn't seem too friendly to me."
- "Neither do you, right now."
- >"You'll thank me later, now come on."
- "You still haven't told me what we're doing."
- >"I'm testing you to see if you have any powers."
- "Powers? What, like magic? Come on I... Well, okay I'll give you three and Sunset that, but me? I'm a normal guy."
- >She started dragging you by the arm.
- >"How do you explain the thing with the lunch table? Celestia? You ever wondered why people listen to your voice?"
- "I'm a nice guy?"
- >"No! You're a siren! And if you're not... well, I could always make you one."
- "Is this going to hurt?"
- >"Only if you don't follow my instructions."
- >You never asked for this.
- >"Go on, shout at that thing over there."
- "I feel silly."
- >"Just do it!"
- >You scream at the scarecrow.
- "What exactly did that accomplish?"
- >"Okay, maybe you just haven't learned to focus your power yet. Come on, how about that flock of birds over there?"
- >You shouted.
- >They all flew off.
- >"... Not the reaction I was hoping for, but maybe you'll have better luck talking to fish."
- >She called up a fish and turned its attention towards you.
- "Uh... hey? How's it going little guy?"
- >The fish stares at you for a moment.
- >You can feel the knowledge of the universe pouring into you.
- >The fact that this is actually fucking stupid dawns on you and you stop thinking about philosophical bullshit.
- >The fish flops back underwater and swims off.
- "You were saying?"
- >"Okay we're doing the ritual."
- >After calling up a bunch of fish and making a seaweed crown, Dagi started singing to you.
- >"Ugh, we're still getting used to not having our gems, but I should still be able to do this."
- >She leans in and runs her hand along your chest.
- >"Just sit back and relax."
- >Don't you dare get hard.
- "I'll try to be a good boy."
- >"Oh don't worry, we have to get a little... naughty, for the next part."
- >You started feeling funny after an hour of singing.
- "I, uh..."
- >"Shh, just follow me."
- "Any reason you're rushing me through this?"
- >"I just need some release. This doesn't mean I wanna date you."
- "Friends with benefits?"
- >"I'd say it's something like that, but that's giving Sonata and Aria too much credit."
- >She has you up in her bedroom in a couple of minutes.
- >"Told you he'd be in bed by tonight."
- >"Fuck off Aria! I won't stoop to your level! You might be desperate enough to settle for Sonata but not me!"
- "Should we talk about this?"
- >She throws you onto the bed.
- >How does such a small girl do that?
- >"No talking, only dry humping."
- "Shouldn't it-"
- >"No. You're not cumming inside of me."
- >She leans into your ear and whispers.
- >"Not yet anyway, make yourself dependable and I might consider it."
- >Her tongue thrusts your mouth almost as hard as you want to thrust inside of her.
- >But you keep it contained to satisfy her.
- >It was really hard to do though.
- >She reaches under her panties and slicks up her finger with her juices.
- >Before you could say a word she sticks her finger in your mouth.
- >"Just swallow it, trust me."
- >Dunno where this is going but it's fine by you.
- >She slides off of you and waits for whatever is going to happen.
- >Suddenly, your chest felt really tight.
- "Gah, FUCK! I HAVE SO MANY REGRETS RIGHT NOW!"
- >"It'll only hurt for... a few moments."
- >After fifteen minutes of the most painful moment in your life, you manage to sit up.
- "Holy shit what was that? And why do I feel like I could make a room full of girls drop their panties?"
- >You turn to Dagi, who is currently trying to hide her ladyboner.
- >"Ugh, we need to teach you how to focus your powers and how to not use them all the time."
- "Why? What's wrong? Anything I could he-"
- >"Don't, just stop. You're turning me on and that's fucking cheating, alright?"
- "I'd never abuse my powers like that... wait, what powers?"
- >"I turned you into a siren. It doesn't help that I improved your already compelling voice."
- "Can I try something?"
- >You run out to the beach and take a deep breath.
- >Gonna be the Dovahkiin.
- "FUCK YOU DAD!"
- >The force of your voice causes ripples to form in the water.
- "YOU ALWAYS SAID I WOULD NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING, BUT YOU WERE WRONG!"
- >Dagi runs up to you and pats you on the shoulder.
- >"You alright? I mean, you're one of us now so I have to care a little, right?"
- "Sorry, had to get that out of my system. Pent up rage is fun."
- >"I know the feeling, all too well in fact."
- >Sonata and Aria come running up to you.
- >"Shit Dagi, did you actually do it?"
- >"Yay! New siren buddy!"
- >"Alright, he needs to learn how to control his shit."
- >She has Sonata and Aria stand off to the sides.
- >"Just, say something halfway sexy, alright?"
- "How would you like to get to know my fingers better?"
- >You saw the other two struggle to contain it as well.
- >"R-right, see how that affected the other two? That's useful for when you need to command a room, but for a single person? Not so much."
- >She rests her hands on her hips.
- >"Now, we're gonna get a little technical here."
- >"First, I'm gonna need you to focus on me. This is simple enough, just give the person you want to focus on your attention."
- >You decided to be cheeky.
- "Hey Sonata, what d'ya say we go pour chocolate syrup all over you so I can lick it all off? Nice and slowly."
- >She buckled under the pressure.
- >"Nonny, don't tease me like thaaat~ it's not nice!"
- >Adagio grinned, "Smartass, still, nice work."
- >She drops the grin.
- >"Still, sometimes directly commanding a person's actions is too obvious. Sometimes you'll want to simply influence them."
- "Hey Aria, I'd appreciate it if you could get me a glass of milk, but I understand if you don't want to."
- >She grunted, "F-fuck off, not gonna be your personal maid."
- >Dagi shrugged, "Close enough, you managed to give her pause."
- >"Now then, how to not make everyone drop their pants for you."
- >She sighed and smiled, "This one isn't very intuitive until you think about it."
- >"Simply tell yourself to 'turn on' an inhibitor."
- >You just thought about wanting a normal conversation.
- "You mean like this? You got really pretty eyes."
- >"Ugh, I'm glad you shut it off. That stupid line might've actually worked otherwise."
- "Anything else I should know about?"
- >"You can't get sick, for one. You also heal much faster than humans."
- >"STDs also don't affect us, and drugs are filtered out of our systems pretty much instantly."
- >"You also get a lot of stamina to have fun with!"
- "So I won the superpower jackpot?"
- >"I wouldn't go that far, but you do have a lot of useful utilities."
- >"You can heal faster, that doesn't mean you're a super man."
- >"Also the stamina thing is basically peak human ability."
- >"The STD, drug and immunity things are all pretty nice. Kinda niche though, really."
- >"Except for the immunity to sickness."
- >"True, true."
- "So... I'm more of a super human?"
- >"Don't give your species that much credit, but yes, I suppose you could say that."
- >Cool. You were okay with this.
- >You looked up at some more birds that had landed.
- "You guys mind if I test something out on my own?"
- >They looked at each other and shrugged.
- >"Sure, just come in when you're ready."
- "Thanks."
- >You concentrated on the birds.
- "Come on little guys, I wanna see if I can get anything out of you."
- >One of them landed on your hand.
- >"Hey, what's up boss?"
- "Huh, so this is how Fluttershy feels."
- >"Shit, you know her? She's a legend in our community man. Think you could tell her she has our thanks?"
- "Of course, so, what's your name?"
- >"Toriyama."
- "Have you taught a dinosaur to ride a ball?"
- >"... I can't confirm or deny that."
- "This is surreal."
- >"Hey, you chose to talk to a bird. Just a second ago you couldn't even understand us."
- "It's been a weird day."
- >"Tell me about it, well, I gotta go. My flock needs me."
- "Alright, see you later."
- >Toriyama flew back to his flock.
- >So majestic.
- >You walked back into the house.
- "You guys never told me you could-"
- >Phone ringing, damn it.
- >It's your mom.
- "Hey mom, how's it going?"
- >"Hi sweetie, I was just wondering how you were doing. Everything alright?"
- "Yeah, I'm uh, kinda hanging out with some girls."
- >"Oh! Have you finally got yourself a girlfriend?"
- "W-well not yet but uh, I'm working on it?"
- >"Aw, well, I'm sure whoever she is she's a great lady. I believe in you, now go knock 'em dead! Um, not literally though."
- "I figured, thanks mom."
- >"Love you honey!"
- "Love you too mom."
- >As you hung up the phone, Aria couldn't help but snicker at you.
- "Sh-shut up, I know I'm a mama's boy. Dad's alright but he pokes fun at me a bit much."
- >"I think it's super sweet!"
- >"I have to admit, it was a little touching to see you talking to your mom."
- >"Whatever, you guys are dorks."
- >"Come on Aria, don't be such a downer."
- >"... Okay, maybe just a little bit. But that's all."
- >"I thought you were pissed at your dad."
- "Eh, not really. I've always wanted to have an excuse to scream 'fuck you dad' though, so there's that."
- >You walk over to Adagio fiddling with a box.
- >"Out of these, eh, waste of money anyway. I've mostly been experimenting with shit."
- >She walks over and wraps her arm around your waist.
- >"I could experiment with you... hah, nah. I'm not that easy."
- "Stop teasing me like that."
- >"Just getting back at you for earlier."
- "I couldn't even control my powers then."
- >You were starting to get a headache.
- "I'm really not used to this stuff. Think I'm gonna go lie down."
- >They all gathered around you.
- >"You okay Nonny?"
- >"Yeah dude, you don't look so good."
- >"Just shut up and get him on our bed! I'm not losing another one."
- >They dragged you into their room and laid you down.
- >"You really shouldn't exert yourself so much in the beginning. We lose too many sirens because they think they can suddenly take on the world."
- >They formed a cuddle pile on you.
- "Heh, I should exert myself more if I get this kind of treatment."
- >"Just, please shut up and go to sleep, alright? I knew we did this on a weekend for a reason."
- >"Why couldn't you be smarter, Anon?"
- "How was I supposed to know I was going to become Aquaman?"
- >Sonata chimes in, "Technically you're cooler than him, but I do like his energy. He's got that attitude going for him at least!"
- "... Yeah, okay. Sure whatever. That's fine, no that's cool."
- >"Sorry, I can't be the dumb one all the time."
- >You went to sleep in a blanket of cuddles.
- >You wake up with a pile of girls on you.
- >Aw yeah.
- "So..."
- >You nudge Dagi awake.
- "You said you'd done this before. How many times?"
- >"... Twelve?"
- "You hesitated."
- >"... Twenty-seven."
- "Fuck, that's harsh."
- >"I remember each and every face. It's my responsibility, damn it!"
- "Never said it wasn't."
- >She stares, "You're supposed to tell me it's not my fault and it's okay."
- "You wanted to take responsibility."
- >"I can't fault you for being honest, but I can smack you."
- >She slaps you across the face.
- "Alright, I was kinda asking for that one."
- >You pause.
- "... Could you do it again?"
- >She punches you.
- "Thanks."
- >"No problem."
- >"Would you two shut up?"
- >"Yeah, trying to sleep here."
- >You rest your head on Dagi's lap.
- >"What do you think you're doing?"
- "Takin' a nap."
- >"You can't just-"
- "Watch me."
- >You snuggled into her legs and let the warmth overtake you.
- >"Oh whatever, have fun you weirdo."
- >You were finally in dreamland.
- >The usual boring stuff.
- >Kaijus, some ponies for whatever reason, and a bunch of video game stuff.
- >"Yo, sup?"
- >You turned to see a big green fishman.
- "The fuck are you?"
- >"I'm you! Well, technically I'm more like... uh, lemme look around for a good example."
- >He concentrates for a moment.
- >"A... Stand? Fuck are those?"
- "Man, this has been a bizarre adventure."
- >"You haven't really seen anything yet, but check it."
- >He wraps his arm around you.
- >"You get pissed off enough, you can summon me, and we can kick some ass together."
- "I'm not a fighter."
- >He rolls his eyes, "Fine, you can use me to scare others off. That make you feel better?"
- "A little, so... why are you here?"
- >"Every siren has a power inside of them. It's unique to them, it's what makes them special."
- "I figured we all had the same powers."
- >"Pfft, why do you think Sonata is so cute? Or how Aria... uh, I'll get back to you on that."
- "And Dagi got domination?"
- >"Calm down there son, you'd think you're into that."
- "... Fuck off man."
- >"You started it."
- "And you're finishing it... Ah, this is weird."
- >"Tell us about it."
- "Stop that, you're only making it more confusing. You little shit."
- >"Oh yeah! Aria is the tomboy, course she got toughness and hotness."
- "The fuck did I get?"
- >"Well, it's a good thing you aren't much of a fighter anyway, you got speed son."
- >He zooms around you.
- >"Gotta go fast, as they say."
- >He shouts to the sky.
- >"You also have a particularly potent voice."
- "I guess I'm a quick man, with a voice that could make a dragon quake."
- >"Hey don't get cheeky with me, I know what you're trying to pull here."
- "Fuck, that's right you're in my head."
- >"Damn straight, I know everything in this kinky brain of yours."
- "..."
- >"OH COME ON DON'T MAKE RULE THIRTY FOUR OF ME! DAMN IT!"
- "Don't make fun of my video game jokes then, how about that?"
- >"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! JUST STOP IT!"
- >"So, any other questions?"
- "Just one."
- >"Shoot."
- "Why are you only part fish?"
- >"You weren't born as a siren. Humans are a special lot though, I'm sure with enough practice you'll be just as powerful as a full-blooded siren."
- >He gives you a pat on the back, "After all, you already had a compelling voice. Adagio basically supercharged you."
- "I guess..."
- >"Don't be so glum, chum! It's not so bad, after all you've got me now! Just don't try and take on the world."
- >He snaps his fingers and dons a genie outfit, "I'm not a miracle worker."
- "Never said I wanted the world."
- >"Good, try and keep it that way. It can be hard to resist the temptations of power as a siren."
- "I'll keep that in mind, from the sound of it these three have lost a lot of good people."
- >"Please don't be another statistic, if not for your sake then please do it for hers."
- >You chuckled.
- "Sure thing... uh, what should I call you?"
- >"Hmm... Sirenonymous?"
- "Bit cheesy, but alright Sirenon."
- >You finally woke up.
- >Shaking the drowsiness out of your head, you turned to Dagi.
- >She looked so peaceful laying there, a smile on her face as she slept.
- >Unfortunately, your movement woke her up.
- >She stopped cradling you in her lap when she realized what she was doing.
- "Somebody likes being the big spoon."
- >"Not one word... so, how well did you sleep?"
- "Pretty well, met Sirenon. Pretty cool guy."
- >"What?"
- "Y'know... the uh, inner siren? I don't really know how to explain it to you."
- >"Don't you dare try and take on the world. Don't fucking listen to him!"
- >She was shaking you, a hint of fear hidden behind her anger.
- "He actually told me not to do that. Not entirely sure why, but I think part of it was his own fear."
- >She looked confused, "You are a special one. That wasn't just your inner siren, that's a reflection of your desires."
- "Guess I'm just content, maybe itching for a good fight, but other than that I'm good."
- >She gave a sigh of relief, "Hopefully."
- "Why are you so worried?"
- >"Because you have potential, and because for all the shit I give my... my sisters, I do care about you guys."
- "This is surprisingly sweet, what's the catch?"
- >"No catch, just don't get used to it. A leader has to care about her followers."
- "Can't argue there, wanna go grab breakfast?"
- >"I just hope those two didn't eat everything already."
- "Heh, I'm sure they couldn't pack that much away that quickly."
- >"You've never seen Sonata during Taco Tuesday, have you?"
- "... Yeah, okay let's go."
- >You managed to make it before all the pancakes were gone.
- >Though, there was only one left.
- >"You can have it, I'll just get something else."
- "No, get over here and sit down."
- >"Tch, asshole."
- >She couldn't help but sit next to you.
- >Sure, you were cheating a little, but you had to give yourself a bit of an edge with this girl.
- >You fed her half of your pancake.
- >"I can feed myself you know?"
- "If I let you do that you'd just run off on me."
- >She grins, "You're not wrong, you might be a smartass, but at least you're a clever one."
- "What can I say? I had a feeling that's what would happen."
- >You can see the faintest of blushes on her cheeks, "Still, this does feel nice. Being treated like a princess."
- >You stole a kiss on her forehead as she closed her eyes for the next bite.
- >"... F-fucker."
- >She was cute when you teased her like that.
- >Payback's a bitch.
- "You aren't the only tease here."
- >She smiled, "Guess I deserved that one."
- >Aria and Sonata just giggled the entire time.
- >"Right, we're gonna go do some stuff on the beach with Anon."
- >"Why? We're at the beach all the time."
- >"Because he's here now, and it's easy enough to do."
- >"You just wanna show off your bikini, don't you Dagi?"
- >She raised a finger to argue, but shrugged.
- >"You got me Sonata, still, you two got your own ready, right?"
- >They nodded.
- >"Good, we're gonna put on a bit of a show for Anon here."
- "Thought you didn't like me like that?"
- >"I don't, but I can't help but be a tease. It's in our nature."
- >"It's in your nature, I just like being the cute one."
- >At least you could confirm that she was self-aware.
- >"I'd much rather do something more physical, like a race, but I guess this is fine too."
- >They made you wait outside while they fixed themselves up.
- >You didn't really understand why, the only person they would be impressing is you.
- >A crab shimmied by.
- "Howdy, friend."
- >"Hey there pal, how ya doin' today?"
- "Pretty good, had a pancake breakfast. What about you?"
- >"I got to snip some douchebag hermit crab in the face."
- "There are crab gang wars?"
- >"You act like humans are the only ones that can do awful things."
- "I just didn't expect crab politics is all."
- >"They're just as shitty as human politics."
- "Fair enough."
- >"I'm out, gotta get home to the missus."
- "Seeya later dude."
- >He wiggled off.
- >Crabs are cool.
- >"Hey Nonny! We're here!"
- "Hey girls, what took so lo- oh wow."
- >Sonata was wearing a cute pink one-piece.
- >Aria was wearing a purple surfer suit.
- "Wait, why?"
- >"Felt like it. If you don't like my ass you don't really need to see the rest of me, I figure."
- >Adagio was wearing an orange bikini.
- >The thing really accentuated her hips while drawing attention away from her rather flat chest.
- "I... uh, wow."
- >She chuckles and walks over to you, dragging her fingers along your shoulders before giving you a massage.
- >"I know, I'm pretty great."
- >A thought occurred to you.
- "Say, can you summon your things?"
- >They looked at each other.
- >"They're still resting, they were blown up at the battle of the bands."
- "Mine said he'd come out if I was pissed off enough, but maybe if I concentrate..."
- >Sirenon appeared behind you.
- >Humming a tune and taking a shower.
- "Why would you even do that? You don't have a physical body?"
- >He let out a fake gasp, "Rude! You could've at least warned me you'd be showing me off!"
- "Thought I had to get pissed off?"
- >"I was just hoping you'd let me fight someone. Truth be told you can summon me whenever."
- >"Man that's bullshit, we had to charge our inner sirens up."
- "Guess it's because I'm part human."
- >Sirenon walks over to Dagi.
- >"Wow she IS pretty, I can see why you like her!"
- "Dude shut up."
- >"No, please do go on, I'd love to hear everything he has to say about me!"
- >You recalled him.
- "Back you go."
- >"You're no fun."
- "Wasn't gonna let him spill everything just like that."
- >"Whatever, wanna hop in the water with us?"
- "Wait, wha-"
- >Sonata dragged you out into the lake.
- "Could've warned me a bit better."
- >"Sorry."
- >Dagi was laying on a towel, holding a bottle of sunscreen.
- >"Anon, your princess needs you."
- >"Nonny, come play with us!"
- >"Save it Sonata, this is something he needs to do."
- >"But-"
- >"We can play with him later, right now he has to make Dagi happy."
- >"Why does she have to ruin our fun?"
- >"Hey, he's the one that decided to try and impress her."
- >"Oh yeah, I feel kinda sorry for him but it is a little funny."
- >You get to work on Dagi's back.
- >"Mhmm, you are good with those hands of yours. How are you so good at what you do? What's your secret?"
- >You'd hoped she wouldn't ask this.
- "Just, look if I'm not good at something I just practice alright?"
- >The one thing you were never good at is lying.
- >Mommymous raised you better than that.
- >"Now I'm really curious, I need to know all the juicy details."
- >Your massage quickened.
- "I don't want to talk about it."
- >She sat up and grabbed your arms.
- >"Tell me, now."
- >People were always wondering why you were good at so many things.
- >Too bad they didn't know you were a wreck on the inside.
- >"Seriously, this is a change from your usual carefree attitude."
- "Yeah? Well maybe I'm just a little sick of having to meet expectations!"
- >You started pacing the beach, keeping yourself calm.
- "I mean, what else am I supposed to do when my big bro just up and leaves one day?!"
- >He was your hero, the rock that was always there for you to lean on.
- >Then he just ran off.
- >And all the burden fell to you.
- "Everybody expected me to pick up the slack, they started comparing me to my brother instead of looking at who I am!"
- >This rant had been a long time coming.
- >Now was as good a time as any.
- "I have to constantly make sure I'm as good at everything as my brother was! The guy was an ace!"
- >You started tearing up despite your anger.
- "We always said that we'd never leave each other. As pissed as I am at him running off, I do worry about him every day."
- >You clenched your fists.
- "Day in, day out. Constantly on edge I'll fuck up, but I gotta keep up appearances despite that!"
- >Some people wished they were good at a lot of things.
- >What they don't realize is that it also means people look to you when they need help.
- "I can help people out all I want, the minute I make a mistake that's what they'll remember!"
- >Dagi came up behind you and gave you a hug.
- >"Calm down, you can't let your emotions get the best of you."
- "Calm down? I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO RELAX IN YEARS!"
- >Her grip tightened.
- >"Please, stop this."
- "I've wanted to stop this fucking charade for ages! I just, I can't! I have to be the champion my brother was supposed to be!"
- >"I think you're over-exaggerating."
- "I wish I was Dagi, I really do. But the fact is a lot of people looked up to my brother, and now I have to fill his shoes!"
- >You were sick of being put on a pedestal.
- >"Anon, you're scaring them."
- >You looked to Aria and Sonata.
- >You'd expected Sonata to get frightened.
- >But the look on Aria's face brought you back to reality.
- "Oh shit."
- >"Don't forget that your voice can project emotions. That rant came from your heart, and it shows."
- "... I'm sorry, I just... I guess that was the last straw. I had to let it all out."
- >You collapsed on the ground.
- "I just want my brother back."
- >She rubbed your back.
- >"There there, I'm sure if your brother is as great as you say he is he'll be just fine."
- "Can I hold you for a bit?"
- >She smiled, "Normally I'd say no, but you need a hug right now."
- >You wrapped your arms around her and just sat there.
- >Aria and Sonata finally snapped out of their shock and ran over for a group hug.
- >You started crying.
- "I hadn't told anybody how I felt, you guys are the first."
- >"Why trust us?"
- "Because you wouldn't know any of that, I needed somebody that wouldn't just blow me off as being a drama queen."
- >They all rested their heads on you.
- >"It's okay Nonny, we're here for you."
- "Thanks guys."
- >Dagi looked into your eyes, "You okay now?"
- >You wiped your tears away.
- "Yeah, I feel a little better. That took a lot of weight off of my shoulders."
- >Keeping it bottled up was killing you.
- >She grinned, "Good, now go take a rest."
- "Why're you being so nice?"
- >"Do I need a reason to be nice? I know I can be a bitch but I'm not heartless."
- >You chuckled.
- "Always know just what to say huh?"
- >"No, but I am good at making it up as I go."
- "That makes two of us."
- >You stood up and dusted yourself off.
- "I'll see you guys later I guess, I'll just be on the couch."
- >You went back inside and changed into your normal clothes.
- >You'd really only brought what was on you but the Dazzlings had swimming trunks for the occasion.
- >There were some new messages on your phone.
- >Could've sworn you texted mom and told her where you were staying for the weekend.
- >It was Sunset Shimmer.
- >For some reason she felt the need to give you her number.
- >Something about calling her if you needed to talk.
- >Apparently she heard you were hanging out with the Dazzlings.
- >"Hey Anon, you there?"
- >"You okay?"
- >"We're getting a little worried."
- >Better not make the most popular girls in school worried over you.
- "I'm fine, we were just hanging out on the beach."
- >You didn't have to wait long.
- >"Oh thank goodness, you're alright! What have they done to you?"
- "Well, aside from turning me into a siren, they've been pretty normal all things considered."
- >"Haha, good one Anon. Seriously, what did they do?"
- "If you don't believe me I can show you. Where are you guys at?"
- >"We're on our way over there now."
- "How do you know where we are?"
- >"Fluttershy has connections."
- >Clever girl.
- "Please don't start a fight or anything."
- >"I can't make any promises Anon."
- >Son of a bitch, were you seriously gonna have to defuse this situation?
- >They came rolling up in an SUV.
- >Sunset was the first one out.
- >She ran up to you and gave you a hug.
- >"I'm so glad you're okay!"
- >You stood there awkwardly before giving her a pat on the back.
- "Thanks? I didn't realize I'd need saving."
- >"Those girls are trouble Anon, especially Adagio."
- "Okaaay... let me put it to you in a way you'll understand."
- >You sighed.
- "I am teaching them the magic of friendship. Or something, I dunno. Point is, they aren't that bad."
- >"You're joking, right? You have enough on your plate without having to worry about those three."
- "How would you know what I have on my plate? I know what I'm getting myself into."
- >She flinched, "Sorry, I know it isn't right to assume, but I'm just worried about you."
- "Worried about me like Flash?"
- >Dash whistled, "Ouch, low blow. This is why I like you Anon."
- >"N-no, I just don't want to see you get hurt."
- "Sorry, that was a dick move on my part."
- >"Anon? Do we have guests?"
- >Shit.
- >"Sorry about that, we were at the bea-"
- >Fuck.
- >"What are they doing here?"
- "Sunny got worried about me. Told her I was fine."
- >"How did they even find us?"
- "Fluttershy commands nature."
- >"Right."
- "Oh, speaking of which, there was a bird called Toriyama that told me to tell you thanks."
- >Fluttershy smiled, "I always like his tales of whimsy. They're so action-packed, it makes my heart race!"
- >She thought for a moment, "You can understand them too?!"
- "I can now that I'm a siren."
- >"Seriously Anon, that joke wasn't good enough to repeat."
- >You summoned Sirenon.
- >"Hey boss what's happening? Oh hey, we have guests!"
- >"Oh my, he's so... handsome."
- >Rarity fainted.
- "You were saying?"
- >AJ and Dash were supporting Rarity and trying to wake her up.
- >Sirenon stuck his hand out to Sunset.
- >"Howdy! My name's Sirenon, I presume you're Miss Shimmer?"
- >She timidly shook his hand, "Sunset is fine, thanks."
- >You recalled him.
- "Still getting used to this siren thing. Can't exert myself too much."
- >"He seems like a nice guy."
- >"I bet he's great at parties!"
- >Sunset looked at the two of them in disbelief.
- >"Well he is part fish, you know I love nature."
- >"I like his spunk! He's got moxie!"
- >She pinched the bridge of her nose.
- >"Whatever, we can still fix thi-"
- "Fix? You act like this is a bad thing."
- >"I don't want you to be the next villain, alright?"
- >Dagi cleared her throat, "Actually, from what we've seen there are only a couple of things he wants."
- >"Stay out of this, cheese puff."
- >"Oh don't even go there bacon hair!"
- >Aria and Sonata were chatting with the other girls.
- >"Oh! We could have a taco party!"
- >"I have been in the mood for Mexican..."
- >"Sounds like it'd be fun!"
- >Aria was comparing muscles with AJ and Dash.
- >"Not bad, we should hang sometime."
- >"Y'know, when you ain't trying to take over the world you aren't so bad."
- >"Yeah, you seem pretty cool."
- >Meanwhile these two were going at it.
- >"Maybe if you didn't try and take Anon I wouldn't be here right now!"
- >"Maybe if you realized he wants to be with us you'd shut up!"
- >"Why would he ever want to hang out with you guys?!"
- >They were face to face.
- >Huh, was Sunset really that short? Must be the lack of boots.
- >Rarity was coming to.
- >You motioned for her to give you a hand.
- >The two of you pulled them away from each other.
- >"Darling, calm down! This isn't like you!"
- >"How are you guys okay with this?!"
- >"Aria, Sonata! Show this girl how we do it under the sea!"
- >"Nah, this is your fight. We're happy to just chat with these guys."
- >Sunny looked at you in desperation.
- >"Just, gimme a reason! I need to know why!"
- >You turned Dagi around and picked her up.
- >She can be pissed at you later.
- >You gave her a kiss.
- >It was brief and passionate.
- >Dagi grinned and whispered, "I can't even get mad, that was a good move on your part."
- >Rarity had dropped Sunset and started fanning herself, "Goodness, that was... intense. Oh dear."
- >Sunny just looked dejected.
- "I think we broke her."
- >Dagi looked at her and frowned.
- >"I know that feeling all too well. Give me a moment."
- >She gave her a hug, "Look, I sort of hate your guts right now, but I do feel a little bad about this whole thing."
- >She laughed, "At least you have good taste in men. Well, okay there was Flash but we all make mistakes."
- >"Aw come on, he wasn't that bad."
- >"Dear, he had the personality of a cardboard cutout. He hit all the checkmarks for stereotypical nice guy."
- >"I guess you got a point."
- >"And that hair, there's no way that's natural."
- >"What about YOUR hair?"
- >"I'll have you know our hair is fine with just a good brushing. Not to mention quality shampoo."
- >"What brand do you use?"
- >"I'd have to check, but it's a fifty dollar bottle."
- >"Damn, that's a lot for shampoo."
- >"It has to be big enough for our hair."
- >"Now that I think about it, Flash did have a lot of gel."
- >"See that's what I'm talking about, if he likes that hair so much he should marry it."
- >"Yeah, I could never get back together with him after seeing how much he obsesses over it."
- >"I mean really, hair is nice and all, but there's no need to treat it like a pet or a person."
- >"Right?! I remember one day he told me, 'Naw babe, don't worry I'll be down in a minute!' and guess how late he was for our date?"
- >"Thirty minutes?"
- >"Double that."
- >"Some people."
- >"Tell me about it."
- >"I can see why you'd try and take over the world if you had to put up with idiots like that."
- >"Guess I just needed a friend."
- >"... I guess we did too."
- >They looked at each other for a bit.
- >Their smiles grew and they started laughing.
- >"Ah, we were fighting over something stupid."
- "Hey."
- >"You decided to hang with us, that was pretty dumb on your part."
- "I didn't realize I needed a permit to be friends with people."
- >Sunset chuckled, "I guess I can't change your mind then?"
- "Sorry, I'm loyal."
- >"Well, if things don't work out you can always give me a call."
- >"Don't push your luck, little miss bacon."
- >"Wouldn't dream of it, cheese puff."
- >Rarity intervened, "Well, we should be going. Maybe you could teach me how you keep your hair so well-maintained sometime!"
- >"Seeya later Anon, hope things work out. Sorry I ruined your day."
- >You waved her off.
- "Ah don't worry about it, we're cool."
- >She giggled, "Alright then, have fun!"
- >They drove off and left the four of you alone.
- >"Sonata, Aria, go inside. I need to have a chat with Anon."
- >"Yes sir."
- >"Aria she's a girl."
- >"... Let's just go."
- >They strutted and skipped past you.
- >Dagi turned to you and frowned.
- >"You were awfully forward."
- "I didn't know what else to do."
- >"And I was saving that for when you proved yourself to be dependable!"
- "I thought that was the sex?"
- >She grabbed your shirt and pulled you down to her level.
- >"Be serious for a minute, I know that's hard for you to do, but I'm trying to talk to you."
- >You booped her nose.
- >"S-stop that! Ugh, how can someone so competent be so foolish?"
- "Cause I like you."
- >She scrunched her face, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't like you a little bit too."
- "Why are you so hard to get close to?"
- >"Because I need to know I can trust you."
- >Her breathing was getting a little labored.
- >"I just don't know how to deal with this alright?!"
- "Deal with what?"
- >"Romance! I don't know the first thing about it, I've never had the chance to experience it!"
- >You give her a hug.
- >"We're a couple of wrecks, aren't we?"
- "Sure, but maybe we can fix each other."
- >She smiled, "... Maybe."
- "Is that a yes?"
- >She giggled, "Sure, why not?"
- >"... What's this feeling in my chest?"
- "It's that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you realize someone likes you back."
- >"... It's the same as the day I met those two."
- >She teared up, "It's been so long since I felt this way."
- >You gave her a pat on the back.
- "Don't worry, just let it all out."
- >She shook her head and wiped away the tears.
- >"Sorry, this probably seems weird to you."
- "Just a little."
- >"You have to understand I have no idea what to do in a relationship like this."
- "It's pretty simple actually, it's like how you love Aria and Sonata but different."
- >"And that means?"
- "We can make out without people being freaked out by you guys being sort of like sisters?"
- >"Good enough, I guess."
- "Yeah, it's basically like having a best friend you want to hang out with constantly."
- >She sniffled, "Can you... pick me up again? It felt nice."
- >You cradled her in your arms.
- >"Thanks, you have such a nice view up here."
- "I suppose, but you shouldn't feel bad about being short. It's pretty cute after all."
- >She blushed, "Shut up, I'm not that short."
- "Whatever helps you sleep at night."
- >"Asshole."
- "Love you too."
- >Tomorrow was gonna be a fun day.
- >"So Dagi, what did you two talk about?"
- >"Shut up Aria."
- >She jabs Sonata in the side with her elbow.
- >"Told you, I was right as usual."
- >Sonata forks over a fiver.
- >"You guys bet on me?!"
- >Sonata has a blank look on her face.
- >"Yes."
- "I'm surprised you only bet five bucks."
- >"Eh, had a feeling you'd pull through."
- "Thanks?"
- >"No problem."
- >Sonata was fidgeting in her seat.
- >"Aw I'm just happy things turned out like this."
- >You sat down in the middle of the couch, between the two of them.
- >Still holding Dagi in your arms, of course.
- >Sonata pushed her face against Dagi's.
- >"I saw you smiling, I know you're happier than you're letting on!"
- >"As silly as you are, nothing gets past you, does it?"
- "Think I'll just take a power nap."
- >"Don't you go scaring me like this."
- >She gives you a kiss.
- >"We still get energy from love, it's just a lot easier to cause trouble."
- "I'm pretty sure this time I'm just tired, actually."
- >She blushed, "Well, yeah, but if you weren't then you'd be thanking me."
- >You smiled and gave her a hug, brushing your hand across her face and looking into her eyes.
- >You wanted to say something sweet.
- "Thanks, gonna sleep now. Too tired to come up with a better response."
- >Close enough.
- >That was a good nap.
- >Huh, somebody has a huge blanket.
- >Dagi had fallen asleep on your shoulder.
- >Were you really out that long?
- >Sonata was to your left, curled up into a ball and letting out little snores.
- >Aria didn't even bother getting comfy, she just leaned her head back and fell asleep.
- >"Mhm, oh yeah Anon... oh yeah."
- >What's this?
- >"Rub my back, thanks, I love you."
- "Someone is having fun."
- >Dagi almost smacked you in the chin with how fast she woke up.
- >"What? Why'd the back rub sto- damn it."
- "Sorry babe."
- >"Whatever, I'm gonna go fix some coffee."
- >She slid out of the blanket without disturbing the other two.
- >You sat there for a while, just waiting for her to get the coffee ready.
- >This was pretty comfy.
- >"Yay, now we can all be friends..."
- >You smiled, sweet girl, if a bit ditzy.
- >"Ugh, I guess fuckin' so..."
- >Well, at least you can say Aria is consistent.
- >You wondered if you talked in your sleep.
- >Dagi came back with some coffee.
- >"Here, drink up."
- >This was some damn good coffee.
- >She sat her cup down and snuggled back up to you before picking it back up.
- "So, this is a thing now."
- >"Yep."
- "It feels nice, just relaxing like this."
- >"Honestly? It kind of does. We haven't been able to stop since we got here."
- "Heh, sounds like you had the same problem as me."
- >She smiled, "Not quite, but I can understand your frustration."
- >She took a sip of her coffee, and leaned against your shoulder.
- >"So, I gotta ask, why me? I'm a curious girl by nature."
- "I dunno, just something about you. The way you walk, the way you talk, your can-do attitude. I like that you take charge and don't take shit from people."
- >She let out a chuckle, "My, I'm glad you think so. Sometimes it's a little hard to get these two to listen."
- >You laid your hand on hers.
- >She wrapped her fingers around your hand.
- >"This is nice."
- "It really is."
- >You gave her a peck on the cheek.
- >"... Thanks."
- >Your phone was ringing.
- >Not a number you recognized.
- "Hello?"
- >"Yo, what's up Anon? I'm comin' to see you on your birthday!"
- "... Who is this?"
- >"Hah, like you don't recognize your big bro's voice!"
- "I do, just needed to make sure I hadn't fallen off the deep end."
- >"I'll bring a cake, and let you meet this girl I've been taking care of."
- "What? You ran off for a girl?!"
- >"It ain't like that, I got a job offer from her parents and figured I could use a change of scenery."
- "What the fuck?! Not even a goodbye?!"
- >"I told dad about it, he said he'd make sure mom didn't know. She'd only hold me back."
- "But what about me?! I thought you said we'd never leave each other!"
- >"Well, I'll see you soon bro!"
- "Don't you fucking hang up on me!"
- >The call ended.
- "MOTHERFUCKER!"
- >You didn't know whether to feel angry, sad, or overjoyed.
- >"You okay Nonny?"
- >You went to your happy place.
- >A place of colorful equines trotting around having a good time.
- "I'm just fine, I'm only a little bit absolutely livid."
- >"Oh, okay then!"
- >"Sonata."
- >"Yes Aria?"
- >"He was being sarcastic."
- >"Oh... okay then!"
- >"I for one am interested in how this plays out."
- "Knowing him he'll probably bring the Rainbooms too."
- >"Why did you two get all buddy-buddy with them anyway?"
- >"Much as I hate the Rainbooms, I like fucking with you more."
- >"Pinkie seemed nice! We're gonna have a Taco Party sometime! Of all the foods I've eaten here, those are probably the tastiest."
- "Right, well, there's no point worrying about it right now. We should get to bed. Gotta wake up early tomorrow."
- >"The weekends never seem to last, do they?"
- >You shut your locker.
- "Gotta go through this shit again."
- >"Hey Anon, how's it going?"
- >It was Sunset.
- "Oh, hey Sunny. You heard anything from my brother about coming back?"
- >"W-what? No, why would I be in touch with him?"
- "Don't give me that bullshit, he called me yesterday."
- >"Oh... sorry, I would've told you sooner but-"
- "Just, don't. I spent years worrying about him."
- >"I wasn't a very good person back then, and-"
- "You're right. You weren't, but you should've told me when you had the chance."
- >"... I'm sorry."
- "Sorry doesn't always cut it."
- >She tried to give you a kiss, but you pushed her away.
- "I also don't know why you have this crush on me, but it's never going to happen. Ever."
- >You'd have to ask your brother about that.
- >Knowing him, he'd probably have an answer.
- >He always did.
- >You ran into AJ on the way to class.
- >"Howdy sugar, how's it going?"
- "Bit weird, Sunset tried to kiss me."
- >"She has been a bit obsessed with you lately. I don't rightly know why, but I'm sure your bro- ah shoot, your brother would know."
- "Thanks, he kinda called me the other day."
- >"Sorry sugar, I would've told you, you know that much. I promised him I wouldn't though."
- "I know you would've, I'm not holding it against you. You pride yourself on your word."
- >She places a hand on your shoulder.
- >"What you're doing is a good thing, the Dazzlings need someone like you in their lives."
- "Thanks, but I wouldn't take all the credit. They had the potential to become better people, they just needed someone to push them in the right direction."
- >"I suppose you're right, just don't go breaking her heart Anon."
- "I'll try not to, I think I wanna keep her around."
- >She smiled, "Well good, now get on to class."
- >You chuckled.
- "What about you?"
- >"Ah, the teacher knows I'm good for it."
- "Course you are."
- >You threw your hand up as you walked away.
- "Later AJ."
- >You were sitting through Ms. Cadenza's class.
- >Everybody just called her Cadence.
- >Apparently she had a good singing voice.
- >All you knew is that for one, she had great tits and an amazing ass.
- >And for two, she was dating the security guard, Shining Armor.
- >Cool guy, apparently he has a little sister in the city.
- >Dash was poking you in the side.
- >"Psst, dude come on I need details."
- "I told you, we cuddled and went to sleep."
- >"That's it? No sex?"
- "Bro, we haven't even had a date yet."
- >"No, but you DID cuddle."
- "Bitches love hugs, get that bitch a hug."
- >"Don't fucking try and meme on me."
- "Is that even a phrase?"
- >"You know what is a phrase? Fuck you, that's what."
- "Maybe I don't want you up in my business, ever think of that?"
- >"I'm your bro, dude come on now don't be like this."
- >Cadence was looking at the two of you.
- >"You done having your moment? I'd hate to interrupt, please do go on."
- "I blame Dash."
- >"DUDE!"
- "She would not stop getting all up in my business, I think you should send her to the office for being a cu- bad person."
- >"... I'm going to ignore that slip and get back to what I was teaching."
- >It was a good thing she was such a cool fucking teacher.
- >"Not cool bro, not cool."
- "What's not cool is you harassing me."
- >"I'm not hustling you."
- "Don't fucking go there alright? Not in the mood for your jokes. You aren't that stupid."
- >"... No, I'm not... wait, did you just-"
- "Yes, I did. Now shut up."
- >She didn't have anything to say to that.
- >"... Jerk."
- >Maybe a little bit.
- >The rest of the day was like a blur.
- >This stuff had to pile onto you right now, didn't it?
- >You almost forgot to add your brother's number to your phone.
- >As you were walking out the front doors of the school, you decided to give him a call.
- "Pick up the damn phone."
- >"Yo, what's up?"
- "Bro, it's me."
- >"Hey Anon, how's it going?"
- "I want to know why the fuck Sunset tried to kiss me, for one."
- >"Oh damn, she actually fell in love with you? I told her just to keep an eye on you."
- "Yeah, well I already have a... a girlfriend. That's gonna take some getting used to."
- >"Hah! Nice one man, who's the lucky lady?"
- "Adagio Dazzle."
- >"Never heard of her, must be good if you picked her though. I'm still looking for the right one."
- "I'm sure you won't have trouble getting her if you find her."
- >"Well, y'know, I am your big brother after all."
- "Yeah... I worried about you all those years, y'know?"
- >"Ah come on, it was only like... two or three years?"
- "That's not the point, it felt twice as long because you didn't even give me a goodbye."
- >"Eh, it'll be fine, I'm already showing up to your birthday party, right?"
- "You do know how old I'll be, right?"
- >"Of course! You're gonna be nineteen. I should know, I'm twenty one."
- "Yep, always just a step or two ahead of me, huh big bro?"
- >"What can I say? I'm pretty great."
- "I can't even be mad because you're not wrong. Or maybe I'm more mad because you're right."
- >"Heh, well, you know I'm always here for you."
- "Yeah, thanks bro. Love you man, talk to you later."
- >"Seeya Anon!"
- >He might like to brag, but you couldn't deny he had the skills to back it up.
- >"Hey Anon, how was your day?"
- "It was pretty good Dagi, you?"
- >"Well, I had to put up with Rarity blabbering on about hair, but other than that it was fine I suppose."
- "Wanna go grab a milkshake?"
- >"Sure, sounds nice."
- >Donut Joe made the best milkshakes.
- >"Here's yer favorite Anon, the mint with chocolate syrup, and a strawberry milkshake for the lady."
- "Thanks Joe, you're the best."
- >"Ah, I'm just doin' my job. I 'preciate it though kid, thanks."
- >Dagi started sipping her milkshake.
- "Might as well call my dad while I'm at it, you don't mind do you?"
- >She let out a hearty chuckle, "Oh I need to be here for this."
- >Ring.
- >Ring.
- >Ring.
- >"Hello?"
- "Hey there dad."
- >"Oh, hi Junior."
- >"Junior?"
- >You'd explain later.
- "Just wanted to call and find out why you lied to us for three years."
- >"... Son, you have five seconds to explain yourself."
- "My brother called me dad, you KNEW where he went."
- >"Your mother would've only held him back, you know that."
- "And what about me?"
- >"What about you?"
- "Don't I get a say in this?! DO I NOT DESERVE A GOODBYE?!"
- >"At least now you don't have to worry about pleasing anybody, your brother is coming back, at least for a while."
- "THE FUCK, DAD?!"
- >"Don't use that language with me boy!"
- "I'LL USE WHATEVER FUCKING LANGUAGE I WANT TO! YOU'RE A FUCKING ASSHOLE!"
- >"THAT MIGHT BE TRUE BUT AT LEAST I'M NOT A PUSSY!"
- "FUCK YOU DAD, I TRUSTED YOU!"
- >"AT LEAST YOUR BROTHER CAN GET A GIRLFRIEND!"
- "JOKES ON YOU DICKHEAD, I HAVE ONE NOW!"
- >"Son?"
- "What. What could you possibly have to say after that?"
- >"... I'm proud of you."
- >You took a moment to calm down.
- "Yeah, sure thanks dad. Whatever."
- >"Love you son."
- "Love you too dad."
- >Dagi stared at you.
- "What? That's how we normally argue. It's fine."
- >"Whatever you say Anon..."
- >"Why Junior?"
- "Since my brother's name is so close to mine they took to calling me Junior."
- >"And you took to calling him 'bro' I presume?"
- "We sometimes joked about Brononymous, but that sounded dumb."
- >"I assure you, that nickname sounded better in your head."
- "Yeah... So, what's the deal with Aria and Sonata?"
- >"What isn't their deal? Aria can be a bit of a bitch but she cares deep down, I think."
- "And Sonata?"
- >"She's like a puppy. Goofy, a bit ditzy, energetic, happy... and loyal. How do you think she puts up with Aria's insults?"
- "I kinda figured it was something like that."
- >"Don't let her fool you though, she can get rather... naughty."
- "I'll make sure to take advantage of that."
- >"ANON!"
- "Made you react, didn't I?"
- >She realized you were pulling her leg and started blushing.
- >"Should've known, but I can never quite tell with you."
- "I'm great at being a smartass."
- >"I know. So am I."
- >You thought about it for a moment.
- "Does this count as a date?"
- >"I... guess it does? They don't have to be fancy, do they?"
- "I suppose not. Wanna go meet up with Aria and Sonata?"
- >"I'd rather it was just the two of us. So we can get to know each other a bit better."
- "I'm fine with that."
- >The two of you walked to the park.
- "So, what-"
- >You were interrupted by a certain trio of freshmen.
- >"Howdy 'Non! Can we hang out with you?"
- >The "Cutie Crusaders" had taken a liking to you after you stood up for them when Diamond Tiara was complaining about some nonsense.
- >You looked over to Dagi.
- >"... Aw sure, bringing the freshmen along couldn't hurt our date, could it?"
- >If only she knew.
- >"So what're you doin' with Dagi, Anon?"
- "We WERE on a private date, but then you showed up."
- >"Why're you dating her?"
- "Why not?"
- >"She tried to take over the school?"
- "So did Sunset."
- >"Good point. I don't know why not I guess."
- >Scootaloo was riding her scooter.
- >Who the fuck names their kid Scootaloo?
- >Nice girl though, if a bit brash.
- >"So Anon, when are you two gonna, y'know?"
- "I'm not having this conversation with you. It feels illegal."
- >"Come on Anon, we know what sex is."
- "Sweetie Belle don't do this to me man."
- >Flash Sentry was playing ball in the park.
- >He kicked it over to you and you caught it.
- "Flash..."
- >"Anon..."
- >The two of you walked up to each other, glaring daggers through the other's skull.
- >Then you gave him a high-five and shared a laugh.
- >"How's it hangin' man?"
- "Kinda hanging out with Dagi and the Crusaders."
- >"Mind if I join?"
- >You look back at Dagi.
- >She sighed, "Might as well."
- >Why did you get the feeling this was going to be a long day?
- >"OH, NONNY!"
- >Damn it Pinkie.
- >You ended up having an entourage follow you and Dagi around.
- >You talked to Flash about your brother, and the Crusaders gave you no end of fun.
- >Fun in this case means trouble.
- >Pinkie... well, she was Pinkie.
- "This is real nice and all, but could you guys maybe leave us alone?"
- >They all looked at each other and shrugged.
- >"Sure, whatever you say man, later."
- "I'm really sorry about that, it got out of hand pretty quick."
- >"It's fine, well, the freshmen were. And Pinkie, I guess."
- "Flash isn't THAT bad."
- >"He was delightful when he was going on about sports or his hair. Or, ugh, Twilight."
- "Yeah, okay, maybe you have a point."
- >"Still, it was... interesting, to say the least."
- "I'll try and have a more private date next time."
- >"Don't beat yourself up, it wasn't your fault."
- >You couldn't help but feel bad though.
- >You walked her home.
- >You didn't exactly want to go back to your home.
- "I uh... guess I should get going."
- >She grabbed your wrist.
- >"You don't HAVE to go, y'know?"
- "Yeah, you're right. I'm technically an adult."
- >"And besides, you're safe with us."
- "I should learn more about my powers before I go out on my own."
- >"Plus I like having you here. Something about you just completes the group, I don't know what it is yet, but there's something to you."
- >You smiled.
- "I guess we'll find out eventually, huh?"
- >You gave her a pat on the back and went inside the house.
- >Aria and Sonata were in the middle of a game of cards.
- >"Four queens! Beat that, blueberry!"
- >Sonata laid out four aces.
- >"HOW THE FUCK?!"
- >"I dunno, I have dumb luck. Literally."
- >"You aren't that stupi- damn it you got me to say it."
- >"Aww, thanks Aria!"
- >"You know I don't like you putting yourself down. Only I get to do that."
- >"And me."
- >She turned and rolled her eyes.
- >"Of course, master."
- >You kicked your shoes off.
- "Right, so when do we get to jump in?"
- >"Considering Sonata just busted my ass, you can join in now."
- >How hard could it be?
- >"You ready Nonny?"
- >Yeah, you got this.
- "Sure thing, bluebird."
- >Aria passed out the cards.
- >"Oh, oh! I raise!"
- >"Yeah, no, I'm folding."
- >"Same here."
- "Come on you guys, she has to be bluffing."
- >You went all in.
- >"Aw, thanks Nonny!"
- >She can't be serious.
- >She laid down a royal flush.
- "F-fuck."
- >Note to self, don't bet against Sonata.
- >She pretty much mopped the floor with you guys.
- "I swear, luck has to be one of your powers. There's no way that's natural."
- >She looked like she was deep in thought, "Maybe it is... or maybe I got lucky and got good luck!"
- "How would that even work? Don't answer that, I don't want to hear you ramble on."
- >"I do."
- >Fucking Aria.
- >"Well you see, it'd be like.."
- >An hour later you wished you had a taco to give her.
- >"Sorry to interrupt, but I think Anon should probably get a shower or something."
- >Adagio you are the best person.
- "Uh, y-yeah, I should get going and do that thing."
- >"Okay then, have fun with Dagi watching you Nonny!"
- >Wait, what?
- >"Ignore her, just go."
- >You curled up into the shower and took a hot hybrid bath.
- >You'd let the water fill up before letting it out.
- >You weren't sure when you started doing it, but now it was just a habit.
- >Once you got done rinsing yourself off with a shower, you'd sit down in the bathtub and just let yourself relax.
- >You heard Dagi's disappointment at your sitting down.
- "Come on, all I've really got going for me is my height. I'm pretty average otherwise."
- >"It's just been a while, okay?"
- >You thought about it for a moment.
- "I guess we could... y'know..."
- >"Have sex in the shower? Kinky, I like it."
- "I was thinking more like me giving you an intimate massage."
- >"Ugh, why?"
- "... Save the sex for my birthday?"
- >You heard her mumble something about having to find her lingerie.
- >What have you done?
- >She took off her clothes and hopped into the shower with you.
- >"Don't you dare make fun of them. They might not be big, but I like them just the way they are."
- "Holy shit..."
- >"I said don't make fun of them!"
- "Your hips are fucking amazing."
- >She blushed, "O-oh... every time I've done this before they've always made fun of how small my tits are."
- "Fuck that, I'd die happy between those thighs."
- >You dove into that pussy and starting eating it like a five-star dinner.
- >She braced herself on the tub, "Nnf, not so f-fast Anon!"
- >She had to try and keep quiet so the two of you wouldn't get caught.
- >You gripped her ass. The tight, firm ass.
- >"Gah, oooh yeah~ that feels great."
- >It was now your mission to pleasure Dagi.
- >You suddenly realized that you didn't have a condom, which made it a good thing you chose to do it this way.
- >Your fingers were already wet, so you shoved them up her ass.
- >"Hnng, oh fuck!"
- >You'd have to thank Pinkie for all the lessons later.
- >You ran your hands along the smooth contours of her legs.
- >You felt a building pressure.
- "F-fuck, how good are you at swallowing?"
- >"I can take it, if that's what you're asking."
- >You eased her down onto your dick.
- >Shit this felt nice.
- >She looked up into your eyes as she was bobbing her head on your dick.
- >The two of you knew in that moment that no words needed to be said.
- >Well, maybe one.
- "FUCK!"
- >You shot thick strands into Dagi's mouth.
- >You could hear her swallowing them all.
- >She wiped her mouth off and crawled onto you.
- "You're... pretty good."
- >"You ain't half bad yourself, where'd you learn to do that shit?"
- "Pinkie and I... might've been friends with benefits."
- >"Maybe we should recruit her, haha..."
- "No, there's no way we could ever contain her."
- >She sat up and gave you a kiss.
- >"You're probably right, not that I'd want one of the Rainbooms on our team anyway."
- "They aren't that bad."
- >"Sunset is, but I guess the others are okay."
- "She isn't that much different from us."
- >"Maybe so... heh, at least we're getting clean after getting dirty."
- "Wha- oh, hah, right."
- >She let out an adorable, sexy yawn.
- >Adorasexy?
- >You'd figure out a word for it later.
- >The two of you got dried off and put some pajamas on.
- >"That was great, can't wait for tomorrow."
- >Was your birthday tomorrow?
- >Huh, guess it was.
- >Time flies when you're having fun.
- >You saw Aria and Sonata getting ready for bed.
- >"Bout time you two got done fucking each other."
- >You kept Dagi quiet.
- "How would you even know if we did?"
- >"I was hoping you'd tell me."
- >You kept silent.
- >"Clever."
- >You laid there, spooning Dagi.
- >You nearly engulfed her, but that hair was too strong for you.
- >"Sorry, for rushing things."
- "Ah come on, it's not too big of a deal. Just means we gotta play catch-up, right?"
- >She smiled, "I'm glad you're so optimistic about this. I'm just afraid of moving too fast."
- "I'm used to moving fast, I guess."
- >"Just promise me you won't leave us, alright? If not for me, then for these two. Especially Sonata, I'm not sure how
- many more failures she can take."
- >You snuggle her hair.
- "You know I'm not going anywhere."
- >"I know, but I can't help but worry about losing you. We've lost too much during our time here."
- >She yawns, trying to stay awake.
- >"Power, friends... our music."
- >She started crying.
- "Hey now, I bet if you guys practiced you could sing just as well as before!"
- >She giggled, "Maybe, it's just been ages since we weren't able to sing, y'know?"
- >There was a smile on her face as she fondly remembered something.
- >"I can remember when we were still teaching Sonata how to hit all the right notes."
- >She sighs, "Funny how you never appreciate what you have until it's gone..."
- >You thought about your brother.
- "Yeah... you really don't."
- >She wiped away the tears, "Look at me, we were having a nice moment and I ruined it."
- "Sometimes you just have to let it all out."
- >"Heh, like you did earlier?"
- >You grinned.
- "Yeah, kinda like that."
- >You tightened your grip on her.
- "I'll do my best to keep you guys safe, at least until you get your powers back."
- >"The gems are gone, there's no getting those back, but thanks. We can at least have some of our powers."
- >It wasn't long before the two of you fell asleep.
- "G'night Dagi."
- >"Night... Nonny."
- >You got home the next day and kicked your feet up on the table.
- "Time to wait."
- >"For what?"
- "My brother."
- >"... Is it really such a big deal?"
- >Your phone rang.
- >"Yo Anon, I'll be over in five minutes!"
- "Alright, see you soon man."
- >The other girls showed up.
- >"Bronon said he'd be here soon. Where is he?"
- "Give it time..."
- >"Seriously, does he always make a big entrance?"
- >You looked up at the ceiling.
- "You guys might need to get that skylight repaired soon."
- >"Why? There's nothing wrong with it."
- >Three, two, one...
- >"INCOMING CARE PACKAGE!"
- >Your brother busted through the ceiling and rappelled down holding a birthday cake in one arm and a girl in the
- other.
- >"Did somebody order a big bro?"
- >"Did he just fucking come down through the ceiling in full military gear?"
- "Yes, he did Aria. Meet my big brother. Combat medic at heart."
- >"These the girls you're staying with? Nice, when did you get good with ladies?"
- "About the same time you left, actually."
- >"Yeah, real sorry about that."
- >He unhooked himself and dropped to the floor.
- >"Man, you've really gotten tall!"
- >He was still a couple inches taller.
- "Yeah well, I take after you I guess."
- >"Well, I got you your favorite flavor!"
- >You took the birthday cake.
- "Thanks man, it's good to have you back."
- >"Good to be back, I'd like to introduce you to Twilight Sparkle!"
- "Oh yeah, that's Shining Armor's little sister, right?"
- >"Yeah, she was pretty ill a few years ago. Her parents called me up on a recommendation from her brother."
- >"He kinda saved my life."
- >"Ah, you flatter me."
- >She gives him a hug.
- >"Well, thanks anyway."
- "No relation to the Twilight Sparkle that showed up here, right?"
- >"What?"
- "... I guess multiverse theory was right?"
- >"Interesting... but look at me, it's your birthday! I know I wouldn't want to worry about that crap on my birthday! Well, I
- would because I like that crap, but you know what I mean."
- >Odd girl, seemed sweet though, in a dorky way.
- >Sonata was bouncing around your brother.
- >"Whoa! This stuff is cool!"
- >"Don't touch that stuff, you might shoot an eye out."
- >"Oh... still think it's pretty cool."
- >"Well shoot, if I'd known y'all were comin' in yer gear I woulda brought my shotgun, and we could've done a twenty-
- one gun salute for Anon here."
- "He is just really proud he got into the military finally, aren't you bro?"
- >"Well, I might be showing off a little."
- >You shook your head.
- "Whatever, let's go relax."
- >"So, which of 'em are you dating?"
- >You pulled Dagi close to your side.
- "Not getting her dude."
- >"Ah come on, bros before... women, right?"
- "Glad to see you haven't changed at all, Bro."
- >Twilight grabbed his sleeve.
- >"Um, d'you mind if we talk for a moment?"
- >"Sure thing Twi, what's up?"
- >"Away from them?"
- >He looked at you.
- "No don't let me stop you, go on. I'm sure it's much more interesting."
- >He looked at her and shrugged.
- "Least I got cake out of this."
- >You lifted the lid off the case and saw a note.
- >"This cake was a lie, the actual one is in my car outside."
- >Cheeky fuck.
- >"Wow, the memes are for realsies in here, Jack."
- "That's not my na... you motherfucker."
- >She giggled and covered her mouth with her finger as she bit her lower lip.
- >You squinted.
- >Damn that's cute.
- "Mind if I go eavesdrop on my brother?"
- >The nine of them looked at you.
- "What?"
- >"Sure, whatever. Go ahead."
- >Gonna be sneaky as fuck.
- >"Look, I know this is his birthday and all but... I kinda have to tell you this."
- >"What's so important that it can't wait? My little bro has been hoping to see me for a while now."
- >Understatement of the decade.
- >"I... I like you."
- >"I like you too, tell me something I don't know."
- >"I mean... love you."
- >"Look I might have feelings for you too but this might not be the best time."
- >"I really screwed up, didn't I?"
- >"Nah nah, it's fine. Just think my brother should come first, it's his day after all."
- >She giggled, "Yeah... guess you're right..."
- >He gave her a kiss on the forehead.
- >Someone must've taken all the blue out of her face, because she was red as fuck.
- >"Look, we can talk about this later, I think we should get back before they start rumors."
- >"Not really a rumor if it's true, is it?"
- >You sneaked back to the group.
- >Sneaked was a funny word.
- >No time for those thoughts though.
- >Your brother is totally getting laid tonight.
- "Yeah they gonna fuck like dogs."
- >"We didn't need to know that, Anon."
- "Doesn't matter, they're having sex."
- >Dagi went upstairs and gave you a wink.
- >Right, the lingerie.
- >You just hoped you didn't have other feelings arise that would kill your boner.
- >"Now that that's out of the way, I can go get you your actual cake."
- "Thanks, bro."
- >Did he still have that sports car?
- >Yes, yes he did.
- >Some things never change.
- >He never left it, even when he went to go, as he put it, "innawoods" to "remove kebab."
- >Whatever that means.
- >You still saw some of the camo on it.
- >How the fuck do you stealth in a sports car?
- >You didn't get him to elaborate, as you were running late for class this morning, and decided to call him.
- "Hey bro, mind telling us how the fuck a sports car is stealthy?"
- >He looked over his shoulder and grinned.
- >"Oh this is gonna be good."
- >"So they told me that aside from what I had on me, and my sports car, all gear would be procure on site."
- "Uh huh..."
- >"I managed to find some shit to strap to my front bumper, and I had a muffler installed before I shipped to make it
- nearly silent."
- >This was actually interesting.
- >"So I had to roll up on the enemy's base. I ended up breaking down the walls and rolling out of my car while shooting
- dudes."
- "I take it the mission went south?"
- >"Well, there was this dude talking about a left hand rule or something, but I was more worried about the red
- phosphorus grenades he was tossing out."
- >"Ah, Lorentz Force, nature's force!"
- >The fuck, what's up with Sonata today?
- "You okay?"
- >She grinned, "Think about it for a moment."
- >Alright...
- >Goddamn it Sonata.
- >"Dude had magnetic powers. He'd built a machine to toss big balls of junk at me."
- "Why did they trust you with this as your first mission?"
- >"I'm cool."
- >You couldn't really argue with that.
- >"So then I got to rescue some pantywaist senator, but he was alright I guess. Then I had to stop a giant mech. Who'd
- build walking tanks? That's stupid."
- "... I think that sounds cool."
- >He thinks for a moment, "Yeah, it kinda is, in a dumb way."
- >"You're pretty good!"
- >"Thanks Sonata, I'm glad you think so."
- "So, how about that cake?"
- >"Hell yeah, I fucking love cake!"
- >He's probably the most dangerous nerd you know.
- >A big, buff prettyboy came down from the ceiling.
- >"ANON'S BROTHER!"
- >"AQUA!"
- >He punched out this Aqua dude.
- >"Don't fuck with this brother!"
- >Why did you feel like your life was a series of references right now?
- >"Heh, we will meet again!"
- >The dude did some finger guns before running off and cackling to himself.
- "Yeah no that's normal."
- >"ANON, I COULD USE SOME HELP!"
- >Some fucker in a trenchcoat was running off with Dagi.
- >Oh hell no.
- >You summoned Sirenon.
- "NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, GET RUNNING!"
- >"Uh, what?"
- >"We'll explain. He's a little busy."
- >Guy tried tossing knives at you, but it would take more than that to stop you.
- >Your enhanced speed let you dodge them effortlessly.
- >"I am the knife in a gunfight!"
- "TOO BAD I'M NOT USING A GUN, FUCKER!"
- >You tackled him and started beating him down.
- "Stupid, motherfucking, piece of shit!"
- >Guy was ripped, had to give him that.
- >After this though, you'd tear him a new one.
- >"Look I had cancer, I just wanted to have some fun before I died. It was... terminal seven."
- >What.
- >He closed his eyes.
- "... We can just dump this guy in the lake, right?"
- >Dagi dusted herself off.
- >"... Y-yeah. That was kinda weird."
- "I just wanted a normal birthday. Let's just go, okay?"
- >"So that was a thing that happened, probably the most action I've had since I got here."
- "You haven't been here that long, Sirenon."
- >"Still, it was fun!"
- "I guess."
- >"Thanks for saving me, I appreciate it."
- "No problem, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't help you out in your times of need?"
- >You wrapped an arm around her and laughed.
- >"So can I have some of the cake?"
- "Sirenon you don't have a physical body."
- >"Oh yeah. Well, guess I'll just get back in my little home."
- "Yeah, you do that... wait a minute, it's not that little!"
- >"So it is little?"
- >Motherfucker.
- >"... and that's why Anon summoned that big green fish dude."
- >"Interesting tale, Miss Sonata."
- >"Yeah it was pretty cool."
- >Your brother turned to you and smiled.
- >"So you're dating one of the hot mermaids, right?"
- >You chuckled.
- "Is that what we're calling sirens now?"
- >"Sure, why not?"
- >He gave you a smirk.
- "Never change man."
- >"Yeah I might've pissed off some mercenaries."
- "No shit? I figured they were a bunch of weird cosplayers."
- >"Might as well be, am I right?"
- >He looked at his phone.
- >"That late already? Well, I was gonna stay at your place anyway. Weird that our uncle left it to you and not our
- parents, but whatever."
- "Uncle Non really liked me, don't question his weirdness."
- >"Eh, doesn't matter to me. Come on sweetie, let's go."
- >He picked up Twilight and gave her a pat on the butt before carrying her out to his car.
- >"Seeya later bro!"
- "Later man, you have fun!"
- >You should've given him a condom or something.
- "Yep, that's my brother."
- >"Well, we must get going as well darling, you have fun with the rest of the cake!"
- >Fuckers ran off with your cake.
- >Could've waited until you beat that guy up to take your cake.
- "... and then there were four."
- >Aria shrugged, "Sonata and I will go get that guy cleaned up."
- >"Yeah! We're professionals!"
- >She gave you a salute.
- >Professional and Sonata should never be used in the same sentence.
- >Still, here you are.
- "Yeah, you do that."
- >You turned to Dagi.
- "So, how was my big bro?"
- >"Well aside from the glass we have to clean up, it was fine. I had a spare sunroof or two stored away just in case
- something like this happened."
- "Why would you prepare for that?"
- >"We've had long and weird lives, Anon."
- "I'm just really tired. I don't even know why anymore."
- >"Your brother didn't take that much out of you, did he?"
- >She laughed.
- >You wish you could do the same.
- "I'll just go lay down. Maybe this whole birthday party thing was a waste of time."
- >"Anon?"
- "Just wanna be left alone right now."
- >"That's exactly why I'm worried."
- "Maybe you should just worry about yourself."
- >"What is up with you? You aren't usually this grumpy."
- "Guess things just finally caught up with me."
- >You trudged your way up the stairs.
- "I realize my best isn't good enough, and it doesn't matter if I like myself when I drive others away with my shitty
- attitude."
- >"You have plenty of friends!"
- "How many of those are because of my big brother? I live in the shadow of someone I could never hope to match."
- >"Sunset likes you..."
- "Oh yeah, the person that the majority of the school still hates. That's comforting."
- >She walked up to you and slapped you, "Snap out of it, this isn't you!"
- >You rubbed the spot she hit.
- "Guess I had that coming too, if I'm such a good person, why can I never make anyone I love stay?"
- >"I'm not leaving you, damn it!"
- "Why do you like me, anyway?"
- >"Well... y-you're... um, can I get back to you on that?"
- "See? All this confidence and skill? I use it to hide the fact that there's nothing to me, I'm empty and hollow."
- >You started crying.
- "I'm lonely, and I need somebody to pick up where I'm lacking."
- >"We can still make this work! I know there's more to you than that!"
- "Is there? I can't even remember anymore. I got too good at playing the role of something I'm not, and now I've lost my
- identity."
- >You let out a dry chuckle.
- "What kind of problem is that, anyway? I shouldn't be complaining about love, even if it's false love."
- >You went up to the bedroom and laid down on the bed.
- >"Come on, it'll be fine. You just need to cheer up!"
- "I'm at the end of my rope, Dagi. Give me a reason to stay, or I'll stop being a burden to you guys."
- >"Because we need you!"
- "No, I need you. You guys could go on just fine without me. Try again."
- >"We like having you around!"
- "That's a nice sentiment, but all I've brought you guys is trouble."
- >"Well maybe we like a little trouble, ever think of that?"
- >She laid down next to you.
- >"You aren't nearly as obnoxious as your brother was."
- >She finally said something that caught your attention.
- "Wait, you didn't like him?"
- >"He seemed nice enough but he was trying way too hard for my tastes."
- "He does have that problem. I might've picked it up from him."
- >"Yeah, but you aren't full of yourself. Well, you might be a little whiny, but I've met worse."
- "I am not whining, I am complaining. If you want whining I will give you whining."
- >"Was that a joke I heard? Are you being a smartass with me right now?"
- "Maybe... old habits die hard."
- >She giggled, "See? You have a reason to stay, you have me. Plus Sonata."
- "Don't forget Aria."
- >"Even now, you're more worried about me leaving her out. Why is that?"
- "Because you guys are fun to hang out with, and you don't care how weird I am."
- >"Mhm, and as much of a hassle as you can be, you do tend to brighten up our days. Your optimism might not be
- inspirational, but it's certainly cheesy."
- "You're just saying that."
- >"No, it's true! Well, maybe not to Aria, but she doesn't like cheesy things."
- "Is that why she argues with you so much, cheese puff?"
- >She blushed, "Heh, yeah. I guess so."
- "I'm just really unsure of where I stand right now. I'm still trying to find my place, where I fit into the group dynamic."
- >"You're the rock we can rely on. Even when the rest of us are feeling down, you can be the one to help us up."
- "You got all of that from the couple of weeks you've known me?"
- >"Well, a lot of it was inferred, but you seem to have your life mostly under control."
- "I guess, I still feel like I could improve myself."
- >"There's always room for improvement."
- >She smiled and wrapped her arms around you.
- >"If having you around means putting up with your episodes, I guess that's a compromise we'll just have to make."
- "You're too nice, y'know that?"
- >"I'm really not, but you're a special case."
- "Why should I be a special case?"
- >"You're one of us now, we aren't leaving you behind."
- >You perked up.
- "Yeah, I guess I shouldn't beat myself up so much."
- >"You feeling better?"
- "A little."
- >"Good."
- >She held your hand and gave you a kiss.
- >"You worry too much, take a rest for once."
- "I guess I'm just a worrier."
- >She hummed a gentle melody into your ear.
- >"You'll never be lonely, not while I'm here."
- >You rolled over and buried your face into her chest.
- "T-thanks, you too."
- >She rubbed your back.
- >"Shh, it'll be okay baby. Dagi's here for you."
- "Why am I so pathetic?"
- >"You really aren't, you're probably one of the most popular losers I know."
- "That doesn't mean I'm not pathetic."
- >She gave you a pat on the back and booped your nose.
- >"Alright then, if you're a loser then you're MY loser. How's that sound?"
- >You gave her a tiny smile.
- "Sounds good to me, Dagi."
- >You were ready to fall asleep in her arms.
- "Hey, I think... I think I really love you."
- >"... So do I Anon, so do I."
- >Aria and Sonata had managed to sneak up on the two of you.
- >"Surprise hugs! Don't be so sad Nonny, we all love you!"
- >Aria was hugging Adagio, "I would feel a little bad if you left. You're alright."
- "You guys really are the best, y'know that right?"
- >"Thanks! I knew I wasn't the worst!"
- >"I kind of already knew I was great, but thanks for the compliment."
- >You saw the faintest of smiles on her face.
- >"Take that as a sign of respect, Anon. She doesn't do that often."
- >You nodded and sighed.
- "Life is alright, if a bit strange."
- The End.
