Chapters They ran until they knew they were far enough from the place where they had been defeated.
"H-h-how? I planned everything! I-it should have worked!" Adagio stammered.
"It's done and over with, Dagi, we lost," replied Aria.
"But how?" Said Adagio as if someone would know the answer.
"It's my fault. When that bacon-haired girl started singing, I didn't put up a fight 'cause I thought we won!"
Sonata said. Adagio stared at her with piercing eyes. She stood up and walked towards Sonata and loomed over her. If there was one thing she hadn't lost, it was her intimidation. Sonata cowered under her. That was Adagio's breaking point. Her plan was perfect, and it was supposedly ruined by this little ally of hers.
"I'm sorry Adagio, I should have gave it my all I-." Adagio slapped Sonata out of pure anger. Aria was shocked. She had to stand between Adagio and Sonata to keep Adagio from hitting her again.
"Dagi! Are you out of your mind!? Sonata's brain is full of tacos, she doesn't know what she's saying!"
Adagio's expression softened as she heard Sonata crying a little bit on the cold pavement. Adagio turned and sat on a tree stump near her. She took shards of the broken pendants that had made them sing so well and were a part if them. What once had been her beautiful voice, had turned to a dull, off-key sound as she tried to hit a simple note. The red shards broken in her palms had looked about just as broken as they were.
*********************************
Aria helped Sonata up as she wiped her eyes and cheek from Adagio's rage. She didn't have to stay with them, there was no point it it now, Aria thought. But yet she stayed.
"I'm so sorry girls, I just want to go home!!"
Sonata burst into a fit of crying as Aria hugged her and shot angry looks at Adagio. Adagio scraped some of the food off of her outfit.
"I'm sorry Sonata, lets just go back to our place," Adagio said.
Over the decades that the three sirens had been banished, they had stayed in a nice building apartment. But by brainwashing the landlord into letting them stay free of charge, of course. Now since their pendants had been shattered, everyone who was under their spell would soon break free of it. They couldn't go back, so they had decided to spend the night in the storage room of the Cake's bakery which was a popular place for them to stir up negativity when they still had their powers.
"So we are sleeping here?" Aria scoffed when they entered the bakery's storage room.
"Do you have a better idea?"
Replied Adagio. Aria rolled her eyes but secretly knew Adagio was right. They stacked up bags of flour as makeshift beds. It was quite uncomfortable but they had nowhere else to go. Even so, Sonata had no problem as she flopped down on the flour bag bed and took off her stained shoes. 'Huh, there could be a crazy apocalypse going on and Sonata would still be talking about lunch,' thought Aria and secretly smiled to herself. At least one of them wasn't too upset.
"Goodnight Dagi! Goodnight Aria!" Sonata said.
"Goodnight, Sonata, goodnight Adagio." Aria said.
"Goodnight." Replied Adagio.
***************************
Rainbow dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer went out late to Donut Joe's donut shop to celebrate tonight's fiasco.
"We totally whooped their butt! Did you hear my sick shredding?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"We were all wearing the most fabulous outfits!" Exclaimed Rarity.
"Yup, all that matters was that we put them in their place! Now who's ready to celebrate ya'll?" Applejack said.
"WOOHOO! PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie screamed. They each got donuts and talked nonstop about their victory.
"I'm just so happy that we saved the school, it was a wonderful feeling to stop the sirens from hurting the students at Canterlot High," Fluttershy said as she brushed away one of her pink waves.
It was only Sunset Shimmer who seemed somewhat unhappy.
"What seems to be the problem darling?" Asked Rarity.
"Oh nothing! Everything's fine!" Sunset replied.
She nibbled on some of her pumpkin spice donut. Inside, she really felt bad for the dazzlings defeat. She had once wanted control over this dimension once too, she couldn't help but feel sympathy towards the three. A raging she-demon. Good thing her friends didn't think of her that way anymore.
"Uh, girls do you mind if I could be excused?" Asked Sunset.
"Go ahead, what's stopping 'ya? said Applejack.
Sunset Shimmer went outside and looked at the stars on the dark sky. One big one with 6 stars circling around it. She took out the magic book that she grabbed from her locker on the way to Donut Joe's and started writing a letter to Princess Twilight.
"Dear Twilight, I know this is soon but I have to write to you about something. While the other 5 are celebrating the sirens defeat, I just feel bad about it. I feel like I'm the only one who shows any kind of sympathy to the creatures. What do you think? Love, Sunset Shimmer.
"I hope she gets it," sighed Sunset Shimmer.
She closed the magic book, tucked it in her leather jacket, and went back inside to join her friends.
*********************
Dawn had just broken and the window in the bakery's storage room shone with warm light. Just the kind of day that you would not expect for the dazzlings to have after they had been defeated. The unwanted light shone onto Adagio's face until she could not ignore it any longer. She sat up and looked down at herself. She was still covered in the remnants of the booing people's snacks. Just another reminder of their defeat. The shards of the broken pendants still in a satchel in the corner of the room. Her friends still sleeping in the corner.
"Huh, friends. I haven't referred to those two as my friends for quite a while," Adagio exclaimed to herself.
They had to change. The only place that had their regular clothes was the locker back in Canterlot High.
"Wake up you two!" exclaimed Adagio.
"Ok, ok we're up!" said Aria.
"We have to go back to Canterlot High, girls," said Adagio.
"Celestia, the sun is so annoyi- WHAT!? screamed Aria.
"All of our clothes are back in our lockers there, we can just sneak in for a second," replied Adagio.
"Fine, but only because my outfit is the worst," said Aria.
"Mmmm, tacos tacos tacos," Sonata said in her sleep.
"Wake up Sonata!!!" yelled Adagio. Sonata yelped and jumped up to face Adagio.
Sonata and Adagio weren't very friendly with each other for the past few days.
"Come on, I'm not walking in this reminder anymore," Adagio said while she gritted her teeth. They gathered their things and set off towards the dreaded school.

Sorry I hadn't been writing stories but I hope you like this one! ENJOY!
"Dear Sunset Shimmer, Just do what you think is right. Maybe you can even teach them the magic of friendship one day. Sincerely, Twilight."
Sunset Shimmer sighed. "If only I could find them and convince the others."
*******************************************
"Are we there yeeeet?" nagged Sonata for the millionth time.
"NO! Sonata we are NOT there yet!" said Aria.
"Aria mad?" Sonata joked as Aria face palmed herself.
"Ok we split up, I find our old lockers and you find a way to get out of there quick, ok?" Adagio said.
"Fine," said Aria.
They each parted their ways and started looking for their assigned destination while trying to go as unnoticed as possible. As Aria made her way through the hallways she heard mumbling and whispers from the other students around her as the former siren was walking to find an exit. She jumped to hear Sonata yelling at some other humans.
"W-w-well, you guys are meanies!" Sonata yelled at Snips and Snails.
"Ya we're meanies!" said Snails.
"And you're just a helpless, dumb teenage girl with no mermaid powers anymore!" yelled Snips. Adagio could hear Sonata crying in a corner of a hallway. This was obviously no surprise to her; Sonata cried all the time for silly things. But this time felt different. She forgot all about her stained clothes and went off running to find Sonata. To her surprise she found two of the idiot boys who did that awful rap in the battle of the bands calling Sonata names.
"HEY YOU TWO IDIOTS! LEAVE HER ALONE!" yelled Adagio while gritting her teeth. The two turned around and quickly ran away. Adagio cooled down and proceeded to walk away until Sonata got up and attacked Adagio with a hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you Adagio!" Sonata said as she hugged her even tighter than before. Adagio was surprised by this gesture but quickly returned the hug because they had never had a nice moment like this since they had been bested by The Rainbooms.
"What in the heck happened here?!" said Aria who had just ran in on the scene.
"I was being bullied by those awful boys with that cool rap from the battle of the bands until Adagio saved me!" said Sonata.
"Really? Adagio you did that?" said Aria.
"What? You think I would just leave her there?"
"Well that's what you did last- oof!" said Aria as Adagio gave her a quick jab to the ribs with her elbow.
The three sirens decided to walk together to avoid confrontation with any of the humans at Canterlot High. After they had located their lockers and took back their usual clothing with the sweatshirt hoodies, Adagio noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Sunset Shimmer was placing an interesting looking book inside of her locker. "Hmmm," pondered Adagio. She walked towards the locker and to her delight it was unlocked. She opened the locker and reached for the book with Sunset's cutie mark on it.
"Equestrian writing? I haven't read or written this in quite a while," Adagio gasped in surprise. She read a few of the messages that Twilight and Sunset have been sending each other.
"How is this girl able to get in touch with a princess in Equestria?" Adagio thought out loud. The book started to vibrate as Twilight had started writing another message that was directed to Sunset. She then realized just how special this book was. Equestrian Magic! There must be a portal somewhere! But where? This gives me an idea.. Adagio thought. Adagio's sinister smile crept onto her face once again as she held the broken shards of all of their ruby pendants in her hands.
The bell rang loudly throughout the halls of CHS that told the students to move to their next class. Sunset Shimmer emerged from her last classroom and looked for her locker in the swarm of students. "Huh, I thought I locked my locker," Sunset said when she finally found it. She shuffled the things around her locker to find her textbook for Mr. Disc's history class. Then she noticed something.
''Where's my book? I could have sworn I left it in here," she said.
"Sunset Shimmer? Are you alright? The bell is about to ring!" said Fluttershy as she walked up to Sunset.
"I lost the book that i use to message Twilight with," she said.
"I might be able to help with my awesome finding skills!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she walked out of a hallway. She was soon followed by the other three of the friends.
"What happened?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
"Well, I-"
"Is it.. you were walking here to go find your books for next class, found them, then noticed that your book that you use to message Twilight back in Equestria with is gone?!" said Pinkie with a quick breath. The entire group's mouths were wide open.
"H-how did you know?" said Sunset with wide eyes.
"Just a hunch!" said Pinkie with one of her signature smiles and bounced away.
"Don't worry Sunset, we will help you find your book," Rarity said. The bell rang loudly indicating that time was up to walk to your next class.
"THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRRIXIE SHALL NOT BE LATE FOR CLASS!" Trixie screamed as she ran to her next class.
Sunset Shimmer slammed her head against her locker and slid to the floor with her head in the lap. "Ugh, I'll never find that book. Somebody must have taken it! But who?"
~Meanwhile, 30 minutes ago~
Adagio's smile did not last long as she realized that they had to make their escape before somebody would get beat up. She put on her hoodie and shoved the book in the big pocket. She grabbed Sonata and Aria and they ran out of the school.
*************************************************************************************
Sunset Shimmer was zoned out for the rest of the school day. It mostly consisted of watching Pinkie Pie blow gum bubbles, doodling in her notebook, and eating Cheetos as a snack secretly at recess. She placed her hand on the school's statue that had secretly been a portal for Twilight Sparkle. To her surprise her hand only touched cold metal, and did not transfer to a hoof on the other side. Sunset didn't know that in order to talk to her, Twilight would have to take the book out of the magical connection between Equestria and the Human world. "If only I could find my book. Where could it have gone?"
"Ah' know how ya feel there, sugar cube," Applejack said as she sat down next to Sunset Shimmer.
"You do?"
"Yup, I once lost ma dog Wanona when she ran off to whoey knows where. But in the end, ah found her with Granny Smith, Applebloom, and Big Mac by my side," she said.
"I'm just sayin', don't lose hope, in the end, it'll be the ones you love that help ya," Applejack said. Sunset thought about what her southern friend had said. 'I hope your right Applejack, I never checked Twilight's advice since the night I asked her for it. I wonder what those seven big stars meant...'

OK GUYS! I HAVE DECIDED TO ADD 3 MORE CHAPTERS! pinkie's smile:
"ALL BACK! OUR FAME, ADORATION... POWERS!!!" Adagio yelled while caressing the book in her hands.
"What the heck are you raving about Adagio?" asked Aria.
Adagio did not reply and simply began brushing the dust off the book with her free hand. "Sonata, how much money do we have in our bank account?" she asked.
"Um.. $57,000.." she replied while checking her cell phone. They had been given money over the years that they had been banished, and had set up a bank account just in case it would come in handy for them later.
"Perfect," Adagio said with a sinister smile. As they walked down the street, Adagio leading the way, to Aria and Sonata's surprise, they had arrived to their old apartment building.
"Why are we here? I thought we didn't have enough money to even last us two weeks!" Aria replied with a hint of anger in her tone.
"Because I have a plan, I'll tell you inside, if you would stop complaining for five minutes!"
They walked inside and slowly made their way down the hallway to their apartment's door. Adagio dug a key deep from inside her hoodie's pocket. When they went inside, Aria immediately crashed on the couch and took off her boots. The three friends all gathered on the couch to hear Adagio's plan.
"So what's this plan of yours? You're supposed to be the leader, and if it's anything like your last plan, then count me out," Aria said with clear sarcasm lining her tone.
"Oh! And how are we gonna pay rent, Dagi? I thought rent was like $10,000 per day... for realzies!" Sonata exclaimed while digging through their refrigerator.
"Just listen! We only need to pay rent for a few days until our power gets back into our pendants. Haven't any of you idiots noticed that this book contains Equestrian magic?" Adagio said. She then proceeded to take out three different sets of broken red shards that used to be their precious gems and laid them out on the coffee table in front of them.
"You see, we can just as easily stir up minor conflict with a topic that multiple humans want. That negative vibe can be triggered to start negative magic in this book, then used to our own desires and recreate our gems!" Adagio said with a fist up in the air.
"Uh huh. But have you noticed that most of these humans live in a state where almost no one ever fights about anything! What are we going to do to set these weirdos off?" Aria retorted.
"Yes, I guess that is true, but humans are just as weak and capable of fighting amongst themselves without magic! Have you not noticed that cyan colored human, Trixie was it? She has the biggest pride and ego I've ever seen. If we can lure her and a few others into the same place and start a not-so-friendly conversation, then it will be extremely easy to get them to bicker." Adagio explained.
"You mean the one that pulled the lever?" Sonata said while putting a finger to her chin and thinking.
"Yes Sonata," Adagio sighed.
Then it clicked. The three of them realized that they could have everything they wanted and more back, their pendants restored, all in this one book that belonged to that pesky Sunset Shimmer. The Rainbooms were nothing without that book. Adagio closed her eyes and thought of the possibilities. The three laughed sinisterly and began thinking who their next victims would be. Heck, they could even take over the school again! And no one could stop them now. For Realzies.

UGH I'm sick! I feel BLEGH...
Stricken
Adagio stood and leaned on the counter in the kitchen of their apartment, quietly drinking a grape soda that had been one of the few things left in their refrigerator. Her hoodie had been replaced by an oversized, orange and white t-shirt. She was lost, deep in thought of the idea of getting their powers back. "4 A.M," she said.
"Better go back to bed." She threw out the can of soda and decided to sleep on the couch instead of her room. She sprawled out on the couch and thought about things. 'Hmph, if we are going to be carrying out this crazy plan, we might as well find a cheaper place to live,' she thought to herself. She reached for a laptop that was lying on their coffee table. If there was one thing humans were good at, it was entertainment. She typed up: Apartment buildings in Canterlot. A few things popped up. She saved the search, closed the computer and fell asleep.
**************************************************
Adagio awoke to the smell of pancakes being cooked. "Aria are you cooking?" Adagio asked in awe.
"Yeah, I guess. Sonata was practically on her knees begging for me to make her pancakes with extra syrup," Aria replied.
"I can't wait to taste them! Eeeeeeeee!" Sonata was jumping up and down in blue and purple pajamas.
Adagio tried to sit up, her mess of poofy, orange hair sticking out everywhere and getting in her face. She proceeded to get up and sit in one of the chairs in front of the dining table. A few minutes later, the pancakes were ready and they were all eating silently, well except for Sonata who was covered in syrup and devouring pancake after pancake. Finally, Adagio broke the silence. "I found a few cheaper places in Canterlot here, so we can move there while we execute our plan."
"I don't care, as long as we don't stay here. This place is the worst," Aria said with a huff. After their pancakes, they cleaned up and changed into their day clothes. They each packed up all of their belongings in three suitcases and went out the door.
"Uh, excuse me. Mr. Filthy Rich? We're moving out so here's our key. Bye!" Sonata said as they walked out of the apartment building. Adagio led the way for about 10 blocks until they reached their destination.
"Cherry Jubilee's apartments, eh?" Adagio said. They walked in and were greeted by a lady with red wavy hair, green eyes, and a dress with a pink scarfed wrapped tightly around her neck.
"Why hello young ladies! Can I help you? I'm Cherry Jubilee by the way," the woman said.
"Why yes, we are looking for an apartment. Money is quite tight at the moment, perhaps you could squeeze us in? We'll pay rent of course," Adagio said sweetly.
"Well, we did have a person just move out yesterday! It's apartment 4B. Just a tip, um, the young lady next door can get kind of wacky sometimes, so just don't mind her, ok dearies? Heh heh," said Cherry with a forced smile. Sonata looked about as confused as ever.
"Well, um, right this way!" Cherry nervously exclaimed and led the former sirens to their new apartment.
"Here's your key! I'll let you unpack."
"Wait! What's our crazy neighbor's name?" Sonata asked.
"Uh, Berry Punch," Cherry Jubilee replied.
***************************************
"WHERE DID I PUT IT!? WHERE IS THE WINE! I KNOW I LEFT IN HERE! AHHHHHHHHH! IF I DON'T HAVE IT I'M GONNA' DIE!" Berry Punch screamed while throwing empty wine bottles at the wall.
"Ughhhhh," Adagio groaned as she stood in the kitchen fixing up the last of their belongings.
"Um, Adagio? Can I stay with you?" Sonata said sleepily.
"Why?"
"I can't sleep because of that loud neighbor," she replied.
"You and me both," Adagio sighed.
****************************
"I propose we make Sonata go first," Aria said as they were discussing who would be the one to carry out their test plan.
"Sure! I can go to the Cake's bakery!" Sonata gleefully said.
Sonata walked into the bakery with her hood on her head, the book, and the red shards of her broken gem in her hands. She gently placed the book on the table in a booth and reassembled her pendant's shards into what looked like her gem, but severely cracked. She noticed Flash sentry, Trixie, and a group of other Canterlot High students. "Hi guys! Haven't you noticed how delicious Trixie's peanut butter crackers are? Don't you want some?" Sonata said awkwardly.
"Aren't you one of the dazzlings? You tricked me into being mean to Twilight," Flash said in a mix of anger and sadness.
"You tricked the GREAT AND POWERFUL TRRIXIE! Nobody tricks Trixie! Only Trixie tricks others!" Trixie yelled.
"YEAH!" screamed the other teenagers in agreement.
"I say we give this girl a piece of our minds!" said Trixie. They each cornered Sonata, pulled up their sleeves, and balled their fists.
"Sonata has been gone for an awful while now," Aria said.
"What? Are you worried about the little airhead?" Adagio replied.
"Well, I just want to see what the hold up is," Aria replied.
"Fine, come on we'll go see what's going on," Adagio said as they locked their apartment and headed towards the cake's bakery.
As the girls walked in they noticed Trixie and other teens walking out of the exit chattering nonstop.
"Sonata?" Aria yelled.
They finally found Sonata lying on the floor covered in bruises.
"SONATA?!" screamed Aria.
She ran over to Sonata Dusk and picked up her head. Her body was limp. "No, no, no, no!"
"I-i-i'm sorry I was so mean and called you and airhead and- and-" Aria didn't have time to finish her sentence before crashing into Adagio. She buried her head in Adagio's chest and cried. Adagio hugged her in response and soon couldn't hold back her own tears.
*cough* *cough* *wheeze*
"Sonata?" Aria said weakly.
"Last time I checked," Sonata smiled and struggled to stand.
"What happened?" Adagio said.
"Well, I tried to cause a commotion but I did it wrong and a bunch of kids from the Battle of the Bands attacked me!" Sonata explained.
"Let's just get you back to the apartment," said Adagio. They each lended a shoulder to Sonata as they carried her to the apartment.
*****************************************
Adagio gently wrapped the last of the bruises in bandages and all three girls sat on the couch in silence.
"Maybe we shouldn't go along with this whole book thing, it was a dumb idea from the start," Aria said while rubbing her arm.
"Yeah," Adagio said while looking down at the floor.
"No," Sonata said softly.
"Huh?" the other two said in unison.
"I said no. We are going on with this plan, and I might be an airhead but I'm serious this time, for realz," Sonata said louder.
"Well, Adagio? The airhead has spoken," Aria said.
The three of them shared a laugh.
"Ok, ok. Sonata you win. We'll go on with the plan," Adagio said.
"You bet your tacos we will!"

This is just a teaser for what will really happen next chapter!
Return of the Dazzlings
"I'll never get my book back," Sunset Shimmer sighed.
"Don't worry darling, we will find it! I assure you," Rarity said.
"Yeah, only we looked everywhere and it's totally nowhere!" Rainbow Dash said.
Sunset pulled something out of her leather jacket. It was a photo of her and the gang, including Twilight, which was taken by Photo Finish before she left. "Don't you guys miss her?"
"Of course we do. Ah know ah miss 'er," Applejack said.
*****************************
The three sirens quietly walked into the cafe with their hoods on way over their heads, even hiding their eyes. They each sat in a booth and laid out three gemstones. They fixed each others into three severely cracked gemstones. They had sent Aria out to take embarrassing pictures of a few students who always met up in the Cake's bakery after school. They noticed two students, one with a planet t-shirt and a bandana, the other was Trixie. They cleverly had noticed that these two students severely hated each other, from the looks they gave each other every time they saw each other. The first picture was of Trixie completely covered in peanut butter crackers. The second was of the planet guy hugging a tree. "Heh heh tree hugger," Aria smiled to herself when she had taken the picture.
"My my! What interesting pictures!" said Adagio with a devilish smile and put the pictures between both of the tables that the planet guy and Trixie were sitting at. Both of the students stared wide eyes at the pictures and grabbed their pictures out of Adagio's hand. Planet guy had a devious smile on his face as he ripped Trixie's picture out of her hands.
"H-hey! Don't you dare do anything with that picture! Or you shall feel Trixie's wrath!" Trixie said while jumping up and trying to reach her picture.
"NO! I'm going to get you back that time you ruined my solar system project!" Planet Guy yelled back at Trixie.
"I'll send it to the entire school!"
"W-well I'll send this then!" Trixie said while snatching Planet Guy's picture out of his hand.
They both started bickering like crazy and the three sirens could see green mist floating on the floor. It had been triggered by the magic in the book and the negative energy of the two idiotic students. Adagio raced back to the booth where her two allies were sitting. She noticed the mist floating near the pendants and them slowly healing their cracks.
"IT'S WORKING!" Adagio yelled.
They stood there for about another 10 minutes until all of their pendants were completely healed. They quickly grabbed their gems and fastened them to the empty holder on their necks. Ah ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ahhh.
"OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH IT WORKED!" Sonata squealed.
"Looks like we got a world to take over," Aria said with a chuckle.
***************
We will be adored! Tell us that you want us, we won't be ignored! It's time for our reward! Now you need us, come and heed us! NOTHING CAN STOP US NOOOW!
It was all over. The sirens took over the entire school. Nothing could truly stop them now. Sunset Shimmer cringed. She knew they lost. The dazzlings had all they wanted and more. Victory was theirs. Fame, adoration, power. The dazzlings had returned.
Adagio woke up and rubbed her head from the bottles crashing next door.
"Uhhh, dear Celestia my head hurts! So it was all a dream, wasn't it? The fight, our gems, the power, us winning and getting revenge on those stupid Rainbooms!" Adagio lamented as the two other girls who were there in the room exchanged glances.
'Weeell, not all of it!" Sonata squealed as she put up a red gem hanging on her neck. Adagio glanced down and noticed that her gem was fastened on her neck as if it had never been scathed in any way.
"But the whole taking over the world thing WASN'T real, Adagio. You never told us THAT part of your oh so brilliant plan!" Aria remarked and scowled.
"What? Did you just think as soon as the plan worke- sorry IF the plan worked that we would magically take over the world? Some plan, Adagio," Aria said.
"No, I-" Adagio was cut off my the sound of Aria ranting.
"Oh hello! I am Adagio, Aria, and Sonata! I will take over your world now!" Aria said with her hand mocking a speaking motion.
"Um, girls? Pizza?" Sonata asked.
Suddenly both Aria and Adagio stopped bickering and realized how hungry they were. "Sure Sonata, what kind of pizza?" Adagio asked.
"How about instead of pizza, WE GO FEED OFF MAGIC!" Aria yelled.
"Not until all of my questions are answered," Adagio said in a calm tone, seemingly unfazed by Aria's outburst.
"Taco pizza?" Sonata said.
"Gah!" Aria said while face palming herself. Adagio picked up the phone and dialed the number.
***********************
"So what exactly happened here?" Adagio asked the other two sirens while eating a slice of cheese pizza.
"Well, when we came back from the Cake's bakery you literally passed out on that couch over there from exhaustion," Aria replied.
"So we got our gems back by humiliating Trixie?" Adagio asked.
"Sort of..." Aria said.
~At the Cake's bakery a few hours ago~
"Remember girls, we want to only sing when our full gems have been restored," Adagio said with a smirk. The three sirens walked into the bakery and put all of their items down. The red shards cupped in each of their hands, and the magical book on the table. Their hoods covering their heads, barely concealing their giant masses of hair. They each sat down and layed out the gems in front of them.
"Hey you dazzlings! Come back for more, huh? The Great and Powerful Trrrrixie will not be humiliated again!" Trixie said as she walked towards her enemies. Aria growled.
"Oh no Trixie, that isn't why we're here at all! Why, we're here to discuss a very serious matter with you!" Adagio said with an innocent face.
"Trixie's listening," Trixie replied.
"Well, we just can't help but notice how good your, ahem, 'magic' is," Adagio said.
"Now one can match the show stopping ability of the Great and powerful Trrrixie!" Trixie replied.
"Yes, but we have heard rumors of the Rainbooms mocking your amazing powers!" Aria said.
"WHAT!? WHO DARES TO DEFY TRIXIE!" She yelled.
"Hmm, I believe it was Sunset Shimmer!" Adagio said. Sunset Shimmer opened the door of the bakery and went to the register to order.
"This is a travesty! Trixie shall not let this go on!" Trixie said as her boots stomped against the floor and gritted her teeth while walking towards Sunset Shimmer.
"Hey you! Bacon haired girl! I heard you were mocking me behind my back! I shall not tolerate this!" Trixie shouted with a finger in the air.
"Huh? I've never said anything about YOU Trixie! 'Though I should have," Sunset Shimmer replied.
Trixie gasped and started yelling at Sunset Shimmer. "Well, Sunset Shimmer, don't you have quite the reputation! You're calling Trixie a liar?! When you turned into a demon that nearly killed Trixie!" She yelled back at her.
Sunset Shimmer suddenly felt a pang of guilt slam into her. She lowered her eyes to the ground and soon became very angry. "You have quite a big mouth the Dumb and Powerless Dixie!" Sunset said with a sharp tone. Trixie gasped and they both started fighting. Green smoke filling the floor of the bakery.
"Look Adagio! The book is vibrating and our gems are fixing their cracks!" Sonata said as she pointed to the almost healed gems. The gems absorbed the last of the hatred and were completely sealed. Adagio practically yanked Aria and Sonata out of their seats and dragged them back to their apartment. She unlocked the door and they each fastened their gem in the empty spot on their necklaces. Adagio fell onto the couch from exhaustion and fell into a sweet sleep.
"That's the jist of it," Aria said.
~Back in Equestria~
"Spike, I'm getting kind of worried.. Sunset hasn't been talking to me for several days, this is unlike her," Twilight Sparkle said in a worried tone.
"Oh don't worry Twi, she probably just has a lot of classes, that's all," Spike reassured Twilight.
"I don't know, I'm worried something bad is going on and she can't get in touch with me," Twilight said.
Twilight trotted over to the portal and smiled. She levitated Celestia's book with her basic unicorn magic and put it back in it's rightful place.
"Well, Spike, Princess Celestia gave me some royal duties that I have to complete, I will be back soon," Twilight said. With that she opened her wings and took off. Spike went out of the castle as well but secretly took a bag of dog treats that Applejack's dog Winona was eating when they had visited the castle.
******************************
"Aria, you do remember that this book still contains Equestrian magic right?" Adagio asked.
"Of course I do."
"Good, I'm sending you out to find the portal that I believe is the link between these two worlds, look for it near Canterlot High, it's there somewhere," Adagio said.
"Ugh! Why do I have to do it? Why can't Sonata do it?" Aria asked.
"Do you really want me to send Sonata out alone after what happened last time?" Adagio asked. At that, Aria instantly kept her mouth shut and carried out Adagio's request.
Aria grumbled loudly and sat next to a horse statue that marked the entrance of Canterlot High. "Ugh, there's no portal, Berry Punch must have knocked her brain out with all those stupid bottles!" Aria yelled at the air. She attempted to slam her back against the metal but to her surprise; almost fell through it.
"AHH! What the heck?!" Aria screamed. She then curiously looked at the metal and slid her hand through it. She looked closely on the other side and saw a hoof!
"Oh my Celestia! I have to tell Adagio and Sonata!" She jumped up and sprinted to their apartment, her pigtails flying behind her.
"Adagio, Sonata! You will not believe what I just found!" Aria said as she practically flew through the door.
"I think I found a portal! I saw a hoof on the other side when I put my hand through it!"
"Oh my Celestia! Show us!" Sonata said. Aria led the two over to the statue and put her hand in to show the others.
"Girls, I have a plan," Adagio said with a devious smile while clutching her gem tightly.
"Come on, I think we should go in," Sonata said.
"Are you serious? You think we should just jump in like that?!" Aria said.
"No, she might be right, we don't have enough power to stay in our original form back in Equestria, so we can easily be disguised as ponies," Adagio said.
They each took one deep breath, and jumped straight into the portal.
************************
"Owie," Sonata groaned as she tried to stand up on two legs. She was deeply confused when instead of standing, she could only manage to get up on four legs. She then looked down and picked up one of her arms. She nearly screamed when she saw a hoof instead of a hand. Adagio grabbed Sonata and cupped a hoof over her muzzle.
"Quiet! Do you want us to be caught?" She hissed. It took them each a while to figure out how to use their hooves again after being trapped in a human body for so many centuries. They had noticed that they were in an elaborate and colorful castle. 'One fit for a.. Princess!' Adagio thought. She took the other two and trotted as quickly as she could out of the castle. They each took a moment to relax and catch their breaths before noticing several ponies glancing at them strangely. They had just noticed that they each had a pair of translucent wings on their backs.
"Come on girls, I know just where to go!" A determined Adagio said.
"I hope they have tacos here!" Sonata said. They climbed onto the highest hill they could find in Ponyville's small landscape. They started singing a melodious tune that captured the attention of many ponies walking around them.
Ahh Ah Ah Ah Ahhhh...
The pony's pupils turned a bright shade of green as they watched and began to fight amongst themselves. As the fighting and hatred grew stronger, the dazzlings voices became more vibrant and beautiful as flames engulfed their bodies. They transformed into their original siren forms and took Equestria into a dark state once again. Celestia and Luna as well as the main six who had been returning to their castle looked up in horror as they watched the sirens destroy their beloved world and turn it into a place filled with hatred and anger. "Miss us, oh great princesses? When we conquer this world, It's just a matter of time before we take EVERYTHING you ever knew!" Adagio said and laughed. All three sirens began to sing louder and stronger.
What we have in store! Your world will live no more! We will break on through! Now It's time to finish you!
Friendship could not save them now, without Star Swirl, or Sunset Shimmer, the last element, they could not defeat the dazzlings. The dazzlings had finally taken their revenge, the dazzlings had returned.

"What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I have to go through the portal. I know something is wrong. I'm sorry girls but Twilight is there and I don't have my book to contact her with," she sighed. She gave them all a huge hug and watched sadly as her friend's eyes started welling up with tears.
"I'm going to miss you Sunset," Fluttershy squeaked.
"This is important, I have to leave now," Sunset said. With that, she braced herself and walked into the portal.
