>"Would you just tell Trixie already?"
>You sigh
"Yes. It's Adagio."
>Trixie looks oddly at you
>"What are you doing in this run down abandoned house? Are you alright?"
>You get slightly peeved
"Because we had no where else to go!"
>Trixie recoils back, looking as if you were about to strike her
>You finally open the door
"Sorry. It's just that ever since our defeat my sisters and I have been falling apart at the seams. I'm barely managing to keep them from killing each other. We're hungry and scared and honestly I don't know how much long this will last."
>Trixie looks for a moment with a blank stare
>"Well why don't we make this livable?"
"Make it livable?"
>"Exactly. You can't stay at Trixie's place, but Trixie could make this place a home worth living in"
"Do you know how much money that would cost? My relationship with Aria and Sonata isn't that only thing barely holding together."
>Just as you say that a small piece of plywood falls upon your head, as if on que
>"You act as if the Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't have any resources!"
>You look at her in disbelief
"Why are you being so nice to me. You do realize that we tried to mind control you into adoring us right?"
>Trixie nods
>"Why of course she does, and while that was a bad moment, Trixie can clearly see you've changed. So she's willing to help you. As well as the Forgiving and Generous Trixie certainly couldn't let you stay in such a crumby house"
"Whatever you say"
>"Excellent. Then I will be tomorrow with help!"
>You still couldn't believe it, but for now you would just have to wait and see
>You walk back upstairs to see Aria and Sonata in the same sorry state they'd been before
>Aria had her head in her knees, unmoving and Sonata was curled up in a corner with her face towards the wall, hugging her knees
"Girls! Things are about to look up for us"
>Aria says in a weak voice
>"Don't joke about that sort of things Adagio. I can't take it"
"No, no! Seriously! Someone came by to check on us"
>This gets Aria's attention
>"Who would want to check on us?"
"Remember that girl we hired to take down the Rainbooms on the big show night?"
>"You mean that Trixie girl?"
>Sonata turns her head slightly, subtly listening
"Yeah. She said she's going to come by tomorrow to help fix the place up."
>"Are you sure about this Adagio? This smells like a trick to me."
"I'm not sure. But it's at least a little hope for us to hold on too. Sonata?"
>She turns her head
>She had been crying, poor thing
>She was really growing up now, much too fast
>You just hoped this experience wouldn't make you bitter as it had to you and Aria
>As annoying as Sonata was, her optimism and cheerfulness was something much needed
>You wave your hand, motioning her to come over
>She comes and sits by you two and you hug them
"We'll make it through this ok. We can do this."
>They both snuggle close
>"I love you Adagio. I'm sorry Sonata."
>"I'm sorry too Aria. I love you."
>"I love you too."
"I love you both. Stay strong."
>They both smile
"Here, let me get a blanket."
>You get a dusty, ratty blanket out of the attic and wrap it around the three of you
>Aria smiles, a rare sight
>"So what should we do till then?"
