>Be Adagio Dazzle
>"So when I finally find them after driving myself crazy looking for them throughout the store, they're in the toy aisle ripping open a bunch of stuff that I had to pay for of course. I was so angry with them I nearly bust open a blood vessel!"
>You snarl beneath your disguise as you watch your father and principal laugh with each other.
>Disgusting, you thought as you hid behind a tree as the two of them had a picnic in the local park.
>Then again, you only have yourself to blame for letting it get this far.
>You should have seen the signs earlier! 
>Every joke, every admiring glance shared as they grew more acquainted with each other through your numerous punishments. 
>And the flirting!
>You turn to look at your sisters, who had their own hiding place in the bushes nearby. 
>It's time to end this.
>Pulling out your cellphone, you begin to text Sonata and Aria their orders.
>They were going to provide a suitable distraction, while you sabotaged their meal. 
>You hit send. 
>Aria looked away from Dad and Cinch's conversation at her own phone.
>She glanced at you, and you nodded. 
>Showtime.
>Aria nodded and pulled up her disguise.
>She would pretend to be a thief, snatch Cinch's purse, then run away while Dad and the bitch chased after her. 
>While they were away, you and Sonata would sabotage their food using the stuff you brought. 
>Now, all you had to do is wait for the right moment to begin while they weren't paying attention

>Be Aria Blaze
>And you really hoped Adagio's plan worked. 
>You did NOT want to be forced to call your principal 'Mom'. 
>Hiding in bushes sucks too, by the way. What with the branches poking into your side.
>But it would be worth it if this succeeded. 
>You and the blue doofus were positioned a few meters right behind Dad and Cinch. 
>This moment would be perfect.
>"Hey, Aria?" Sonata whispers.
>If it weren't for your 'partner'. 
>"I know we're trying to get Dad to break up with Cinch, but I've been thinking-"
"Shocker."
>She glared at you.
>"I'm serious." she hissed lowly.
"Fine. What?"
>"Cinch might be mean, but I think she and Dad would make cute kids if they got married." she whispered.
>WHAT?
>You shudder at the thought of it. 
>"Plus, I'm tired of being the youngest. Y'know? I want to see what it's like to be the older sister for once."
>You facepalmed.
"Just... stop, so I can focus."
>You turn your attention back to Dad and Cinch.
>"So, you have any interesting stories?" your dad asks. 
>Cinch smirks, "Have I told you about the time I had a student hit on me?"
>"Do tell." 
>Huh. With the semi-casual clothes and relaxed demeanor, Cinch actually doesn't come off as a huge cunt for once.
>That's when you see your opening.
>You pat Sonata on the shoulder and whisper.
"Stay here, I'm about to go."
>She nods. 
>Slowly but surely, you stand up and begin to creep up onto the two while their backs are turned.
>Slowly...
>Slowly...
>Slowly...
>You reach for Cinch's purse and-!
>*YOINK!*
>You make a break for it! 
>"HEY!" you hear Dad and Cinch shout in surprise from behind you.
>You hear Dad's footsteps trailing behind you as you run, with Cinch not far behind by the sounds of it.
>They wouldn't be able to catch you though.
>You were in the top two of the track team, second only to that bitch Indigo Zap, for a reason.

>Be Adagio Dazzle again.
>You grin maliciously as you watch Dad and Cinch race off to catch Aria. 
>Leaving the rest of their stuff unattended. 
"Sonata, let's go!"
>"Got it!" your blue-haired sister pops up out of the bushes.
>The two of you go over to the picnic basket. 
>You reach into your pocket to pull out what you brought. 
"Sorry, Dad. I want you happy, just not with her."
>Your pour a single laxative caplet into Cinch's drink, which quickly dissolves. 
>Then you take out spice powder, and sprinkle a bit on her food.
>You knew Cinch liked spicy foods. Let's see how she likes this...
>""Hey, Dagi?"
"What is it?"
>You looked up to see Sonata with a conflicted expression on her face.
>Oh not this shit again.
>"Are you sure this is right? Maybe having Cinch as a stepmom wouldn't be so bad?"
>You snort. 
"Sonata, just no. It would be like having a drill sergeant living with us."
>"But it looks like she makes Dad really happy..."
"I'm sure he'll find someone else who makes him happier with enough time."
>Maybe even someone like Mom...
>"I guess."
>You go back to your work, but what Sonata said sticks in your mind a bit. 
>What if it really wouldn't be that bad? Sure, Cinch would definitely be really anal about you getting your stuff done but if she makes Dad happy...
>But dealing with her at home in addition to seeing her at school just sounds like such a hassle.
>"Adagio."
>No, you were right. This had to be done. Cinch was bad for Dad. You knew Mom would hate her if she was still alive today.
>"Adagio!" 
>It's like Dad told you when you broke up with your last boyfriend, there are plenty of fish in the sea. He'd be sad for a while, but you're sure he'd find someone better for him.
>"ADAGIO DAZZLE!"
>You jump as you finally register someone calling your name.
>You look up to see Sonata looking like a deer caught in headlights. 
>You feel a poke on your shoulder.
>"Ahem."
>You freeze, and slowly turn around.

>You see Dad with a decidedly not amused expression on his face, holding an embarrassed Aria.
>Cinch stands right next to him, glaring at you with her arms folded. 
"H-Hi, Dad?"
>He says nothing, just continuing to glare at you.
>You quickly turn your gaze to Aria.
"What happened to 'they would never catch you'?!"
>Aria scratched the back of her head.
>"Yeah.... I tripped on a rock and they caught me."
>You get a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. 
>"Six months. No computer, no allowance, no phone, no going out with your friends. You're going to do extra chores around the house. You are GROUNDED, missy." Dad snarled.
>You summarize your current situation with the only word that fits.
"Fuck."
>"Make that seven months."
>Shit
>THE END.
