My Little Pony Equestria Girls: The Moons of Canterlot High 2
Chapter 1
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata sat in the same secluded booth at the Sweet Shoppe. Gone were their flashy, rocker-eqsue outfits, instead they were replaced by the same drab hoodies and jeans they wore before coming to school. They sat there in silence until a young man came over with a tray of drinks.
"Here you go; a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and strawberry syrup," he said setting the drink in front of Adagio. "A tropical juice blend on ice and chocolate shake with a cherry on top."
He set the juice and shake in front of Aria and Sonata, respectively, and left. They had their drinks in silence, save for Sonata who slurped hers down quickly before clutching her head in pain.
"Argh!" she groaned. "Brain freeze!"
Aria snorted "Can't freeze what you don't have," she said
Sonata stuck her tongue out childishly at Aria before going back to her drink. Adagio sipped her hot chocolate quietly and let her mind wander. But no matter how she tried to left her mind drift, no matter how she'd hoped to think of something else, her mind kept drifting back to the same thing.
Their defeat.
It had been a few weeks since Canterlot High's Battle of the Bands. A few weeks since The Dazzlings had been beaten by The Rainboom's and left completely powerless. They were once the center of attention, adored by all. And now they were pushed back into the shadows, where no one could see them.
All because of those girls.
Adagio reached into the front pocket of her hoodie, pulling out a piece of her shattered ruby pendant. She stared at the gem fragment longingly, it had been the key to their success. By a sheer stroke of luck Starswirl had neglected to remove them before banishing them to this world. But now they were broken, and they had no magic left without them.
"So..." said Aria's gruff snarky voice, "Any idea on what our next move is oh fearless leader?"
Adagio looked over to her pigtailed cohort. "The same moves we've been making." she said. "Survive until tomorrow."
Aria twirled the straw in her hand. "Yeah," she said her words soaked with sarcasm. "That's been working out so well for us lately"
Adagio gave a frustrated grunt. "Well if you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it," she said
"Let's go back to school." Aria said. "We can still make everyone love us. We can still..."
"And how can we do that?" Adagio questioned. "We don't have our pendants anymore. We can't feed on their negative energy now and everyone hates us, so there's no point if we can't get our magic back."
"Well it would be something else, at least." Aria shot back. "We've just been going from place to place doing absolutely nothing. We could least try and get out there and..."
Adagio reached into her hoodie's front pocket, removed the shards of her gem and put them on the table.
"Without our voices?" Adagio asked. "We can't sing now, so who's going to want to listen to us?"
Aria growled in frustration, tugging at the end of one of her pigtails. "I'm sick of this!" she said. "We can't just drift around town forever."
"Yeah" Sonata said. "This is boring. I'm tired of doing nothing all day."
"Not that you did much of anything before we lost our powers..." Aria mumbled under her breath
"Everyday it's the same thing." Adagio said. "We go places and sit around doing nothing until they ask us to leave, you two complain, then we go back to the shelter. I'm sick of that drafty old place, I think I'm catching a cold there."
Sonata pulled a napkin from the dispenser and blew her nose loudly, as if to prove her point. Aria gave a disgusted groan as Sonata tossed, the now dripping wet, napkin into a nearby garbage can.
"Thanks I guess..." Aria said standing up and moving to sit by Adagio. "I was hoping for another reason to keep away from you."
Adagio slumped over, her elbows propped up on the table. "Do you think I want to keep doing this?" she asked as she swept the remains of her gem into her hand and put it back in her pocket. "I hate living like this. I miss our magic, I miss having everyone adore us."
Adagio ground her teeth in anger. "If it wasn't for those girls we'd have our full powers again," she said. "What I wouldn't do for a chance to get even with them…"
Adagio drank down the last of her hot chocolate and stormed out of the Sweet Shoppe, with Aria and Sonata at her heels.
"I'll give you this." Adagio said. "I'm just as tired of the same old routine as you are."
"Then let's do something about it." Aria said. "So what if we don't have our magic, and we can't sing. Other people in this world have fame, have people fawning over them. There's got to be something we can do to get that for ourselves. Some way that we can..."
Aria glanced behind her, noticing Sonata was standing at one of the tables outside the Sweet Shop, reading a newspaper someone had left behind.
Aria grumbled at how her 'ally' was so easily distracted
"Hurry up, Sonata," she said
Sonata didn't move an inch. She appeared to be completely mesmerized by what was on the newspaper, her face slowly reddening
"Sonata!" Adagio called out. "Come on!"
Adagio and Aria walked up to Sonata, still wordlessly staring at the newspaper. Her face was beginning to resemble a cherry. Aria took the newspaper from her ditzy teammate.
"What's so interesting about... ooh..." Aria looked at the front page. Her jaw dropped and she threw the newspaper back on the table. "UGH, GROSS!"
Adagio took the newspaper, looked at the front page, and her eyes were met by a picture of the plump posteriors of six teenage girls, perfectly lined up side by side.
"Wha..." Adagio began her own face beginning to turn red. "What the...what is..."
Aria peeked over Adagio's shoulder to read the newsprint. "Local teen girls moon crowd at a game between the Canterlot High Wondercolts and the Everfree Timberwolves," she read. "Aren't those..."
"The same girls who we went up against in the Battle of the Bands." Adagio said, her voice getting angry as she crumpled the paper a bit.
Aria snorted back a laugh. "Talk about full exposure," she said, amused. "How embarrassing!"
"Y-Yeah!" Sonata said still blushing but laughing. "R-Really embarrassing!"
As the other two laughed in amusement Adagio stared at the newspaper. The girls who defeated them, upstaged them we're in the newspaper. And there was no doubt that dozens, possibly even hundreds, of people had seen them like this. Then she noticed two people walking by.
"Hey, what do you think of those mooning girls from Canterlot High?" One guy asked, curiously.
"Aw, man, those girls are so hot! And their butts? Massive!" The other one added.
"I'll say. You know they're actually getting praise for their butts instead of ridicule?"
"Oh yeah and they deserve it! I know I wouldn't mind getting mooned by them."
"Yeah, same here."
Then, after hearing their words Adagio's lips we're beginning to curl into an evil smile.
"Girls," she spoke up. They turned to her. "|I think I've got an idea on how to make everyone adore us again."
Aria grunted. "How?"
"Let's just say it involves getting a little... over exposed," she said, sinisterly.
