Helping the enemies?

"I still think that we can't trust those harpies." Rainbow said without much thought

"Sirens." Pinkie corrected

"I know what I said."

The six girls took a slight break from classes to meet in their practice room and talk about what happened the last night.

"I don´t think they are trusted neither" Rarity confesses "But we can not leave them like that, I could not live with that burden on my conscience."

"all this, what are we supposed to do?" Asks the farmer.

"We must manage their magical jewels, so they will have magic and can eat again." Respond the party girl with a big smile.

"Seems like a very bad idea, you hear them, if they recover their powers, they do the mind control think again." Recalls the athlete.

"Maybe not, if we repair their jewels and then make a party with cake and balloons and magic tricks, perhaps they become friendly and we become best friends forever and ever and ever!" Pinkie´s eyes glow in ilusion.

"Yeaaaaaaaah, that will not happen."

Rarity note to Sunset stays out of the conversation with downcast eyes and folded arms.

"Sunset darling, you're very quiet, there's something on your mind?"

"... Can not help thinking ... when you and Twilight used their magic on me ... I felt as if all the hatred and rancor that I had, vanished of me, as if, had eliminated the evil inside me."

Her friends look at her somewhat confusing, Rainbow is the questioner.

"If, what with that?"

"I can not help but wonder why it was not the same with the Dazzlings ? We have seen they are still ... bad, why the magic of friendship... not purified they or whatever ?"

"Perhaps because you had a good heart underneath all that bad attitude." Said the farmer instantly.

"But you can not say the same of those harpies."

"Sirens."

"I know what I said."

"I don´t know..." A yawn escapes from the mouth of the former equine "And I'm too tired to think much."

A yawn is shared by Rainbow , Rarity and Applejack.

"ugh, because of those three we not sleep almost nothing."

Rarity looks into her hand mirror "I hope that lack of sleep not ruin my complexion."

"Pinkie you're not tired?" The Farmer looks at her party friend.

"Nop, I always eat a dozen pancakes peanut butter and jelly before coming to school."

"... I am going to assume that that makes sense."

Sunset uses her hand to cover another yawn. "I cant think well , let´s try to finish classes for the day , then we can go home and get some rest, and exploit the weekend to think about something."

"Support that option , I need my beauty sleep , we go?"

A statement from the others and start walking. Until...

"Hey, where is Flutter?"

A soft murmur makes them turn around and see the lover of animals lying peacefully asleep at the table. All they look smiling gracefully.

~Silent~

"Adagio enough! you cant do this anymore!"

Undeterred by the cry of her partner, Adagio just drinks a water glass.

"Adagio!"

"Ugh, as annoying."

"Why are you so stubborn?!"

"Why are you so stupid? Understand it, until the matter is settled, I not forsake do that."

"You know what will happen to you!"

Adagio leaves the empty glass on the table. "Yes, if also what will happen if I stop."

"Still! If you continue with that-"

"I'll keep making that!" She crosses her arms with a seriously look "Although you don´t like."

Both are looked angry for a moment until the siren with pigtails makes an annoying hiss.

"Good! Do whatever you want! Like I care!" with that walks into her room and slamming the door locks.

Adagio only growls and goes to another room.

Sonata who had seen it all from the living room couch only shrinks in place and clean the tears in her eyes.

~Silent~

Lying in her bed, Aria looks her tears falling. Growls angrily and whispers to nothing.

"why I could not grow a little more ... ?"

~Silent~

Night had fallen. The sirens gathered in the kitchen at the request of Sonata.

"I made macaroni and cheese! hope you like."

Aria looks the food on her plate. "you know that we do not need to eat this"

"I know!" It was the cheerful response before it began to eat.

Adagio looks at the food a moment before you start eating too.

Aria watching the situation rolls her eyes and eat.

Dinner still silent but anyone seems bothered by this, the silence was broken by a curious melody, Sonata then pulls out a cell phone.

"Is a message of Sunset." Her companions look at her. "... She wants us to go tomorrow, to the backyard of the school at 10 a.m."

"... Great, I was so keen to return to that place"

"Really ? Why I think it would be the worst thing we could do."

"I think You're the worst Sonata."

"So, well I think you are."

"enough!" The leader siren lets out a sigh "Let's see what these Rainbooms want."

"I told you to have a phone was a good idea."

"You´re still the worst."

"You are."

Adagio just sighs again.

~Silent~

It was Saturday, a quiet day , with the sun shining most of the students took the opportunity to enjoy their weekend in recreational activities, on the other hand , Sunset , Rarity , Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Fluttershy walked toward the last place any teenager would go today, the school.

Taking care not to be seen entered through the back and came to the backcourt of the institution, where they saw the missing member of their group practicing with her soccer ball.

Pinkie instantly runs to her and hugs her.

"Dashie! you came!"

"Yeah, I thought a little , and although I do not like the idea of helping these three , does not mean not help my friends, if not for you is important."

A smile is shared by all.

The six are kept waiting for her guests , not much time happens until they see three hooded individuals approaching.

"They´re here They´re here They´re here" Pinkie jumps to they.

The Dazzlings discover their faces, the light of day allows a better appreciate their appearance, their skin is not only pale but also very dry, bloodshot eyes, disheveled hair, and shadow in the eyes denotes their tiredness.

"... Wow, you looks awfull" The athlete wins glances of disapproval.

"Stay weeks without eating and then tell us about bad look." respond the leader siren.

Sunset take the word before start a discussion. "we can talk about that another time. Now, I have a plan, I do not know whether to work, but I think it is worth a try."

Adagio crosses her arms looking at Sunset "How much as it pains me, I listen."

~Silent~

Inside the practice room the girls prepare their instruments as sirens observe a bit remote.

"Please explain it again Sunset." Asked Applejack

"Well, last time we fight "fire with fire", I thought it might work this time too."

"Then ... you suggest we use the magic we have when we sing to repair their jewels?" Rainbow questioned.

"That is even possible?" Applejack Added.

"Well, the last time our magic defeated them because we wanted to beat them, maybe if now, we think about we want to help them, it work."

"Or, perhaps you destroy our charms even more eliminating any possibility of repairing."

The words of the leader siren gains a nervous smile of Sunset. ".. am ... yes ... but I do not think that happens..."

Adagio and Aria only look at she contemptuous, Sonata is worried.

"Your jewels are just pieces anyway, unless you have a better idea, I suggest we listen to Sunset."

The sirens look at the athlete but do not respond. Sunset approaches them.

"can you give us your charms?"

Aria and Sonata draw their bags, but Adagio raises her arm to stop them, under the confused look of both she draws her own bag and leave the pieces on the floor in front of the confused students.

"You not have three broken jewels?" Ask Rainbow.

"Your magic was what got us into this to begin with, if it ends worsened even more, is better than only one affected."

Aria tries protest "But Adagio-"

"But nothing, we´ll do this way and point."

Aria and the Sonata look worried, while six friends are briefly and then start to talk.

"Well, what song we will play?" Ask Rarity.

Sunset respond. "I do not think it matters, just remember, we want to repair those jewels."

Pinkie touches his drumsticks to begin the song. "1, 2, 3 4 5 6!"

With that music starts and not long after the magic takes effect on six. The magic is embodied in a beam of light of various colors which impacts the jewel on the floor and around in a spiral, the jewel seems to glow slightly, but when the light beam disappears the jewel remains unchanged.

All is silence until Adagio speacks.

... At least not the worse.

... maybe we should play another song." Suggest Pinkie.

"I do not think that's the problem." Says applejack.

Sunset signs "I guess fire with fire does not always work."

"You have some other plan?" Ask Adagio.

"Well... the truth... no, I´m sorry."

Adagio keep her fragments. "Typical."

Fluttershy hides behind her hair "Maybe... we not use the magic correctly..."

With that comment, something in Rainbow´s head do "click"

"You know Flutter, you´r right"

"R-Really...?"

"Yeah! we did wrong, was not only OUR magic we use that time, remember?"

Rarity smile "Is true! We need something, correction, we need someone."

All friends exclaim at same time. "Twilight!"

"We tell Twilight of the situation and ask her to come to help us." Rainbow says.

Sunset puts a doubtful expression "Um... I'm not sure ... Twilight must have many important duties to attend to, I doubt want to leave them to come to ... well, to help them, no offends" look at the Dazzlings.

"Actually, I agree" Respond Adagio. "Why would a princess coming to help us? It is quite rare that you are doing it"

"But Twilight is the princess of friendship." Pinkie recalled. "She goes everywhere offering friendship to everyone she know!!"

"Yes!" Rainbow agreed "Sure come to help her best friends even in a situation like this."

"Yeah, I guess so." Sunset agreed.

"Or" Adagio intervened. "Maybe she come accompanied by the royal guard and capture us to lock ourselves in a cell the rest of our lives." "It would not be much actually." Whispers the last part.

"Twilight would not do that." Fluttershy corrected.

"Yes!" Pinkie Says "She is the princess of Friendship! not the princess of "locking all in cells for the rest of their lives."

-In some place-

Tirek still chained in his cell with his arms crossed and a look of annoyance. "What you know? Stupid pink girl"

-Back-

"Sunset your turn." Rainbow exclaim

"ok I'll send the message, I back soon."

With that the former pony left the room leaving her friends and the former singers.

Adagio sees her leave and after a moment ask to the rest.

"... then, her friend pony can maintain contact with the princess?

"Yes, but you better not be thinking something funny." Rainbow responds in a threatening tone.

Adagio does not respond but maintains a curious expression.

~Silent~

Sunset going to the statue in front of the school, and from her backpack pulls her daily, after a slight sigh start to write.

"Dear Princess Twilight , I'm sorry I have not written in a while, and I would like this message was for something different, this is what happened..."

Author's Note

I speak Spanish , sorry if my translation is wrong in somewhere.

Dazzling Friendship?

Sunset exchanged her gaze between the book and the statue waiting for some response from her friend in Equestria, began to worry when hear a strange sound coming from the statue, not long after a girl goes through the wall of this, and although falters get a little she stand, Sunset recognizes instantly and a big smile drawn on her face.

"Twilight!"

"Sunset!"

The Princess hug her friend, Sunset after overcoming her surprise corresponds smiling.

"I´m so glad to see you again." The princess says.

"I say the same, although I regret it in this situation."

"I understand, could better explain the situation?"

Sunset begins to tell her what happened as both enter school.

~Silent~

Inside of the school, silence reigned in the room, the five friends did not know how to start a conversation, and sirens did not seem interested in starting it, or in the case of Sonata, was afraid to do.

All attention focuses on the door when this opens and the two equine enter in the room.

"We arrived."

"Hello everypo- everybody."

"TWILIGHT!!"

Is heard exclaiming before Twilight is captured in a tight hug by all her friends. Twilight smile at all them, until she realizes the presence of the Sirens.

"... Am ... hello, is ah ... interesting , see you again." She says a little nervous.

"Save the good manners" Respond the Leader siren indifferently "We know you do not like to see us, and I must say that we are not happy to be here.

Aria look behind Twilight "Really? No guards?"

"Guards?" Ask the confused princess.

Pinkie comes with a pink cannon "I told you that she would not do that."

All they look at the party girl, and her cannon...

"What th-"

The sentence is cut when Pinkie activates the cannon and this leaves a ball of colors that disperses showing a banner with the phrase "welcome" and leaves a cake in the hands of each, except for the Dazzlings who receive it in their face.

The princess look the room and smile at her friend. "Wow Pinkie, thank you"

Rainbow start to laught "Pinkie Pie, you are so random"

Adagio looks at all with annoyance. "... funny... REALLY funny..."

Aria clean the cake on her face. "Ugh, you have their princess, can we end this?" Looks at Sonata start to eat the cake with a smile.

"All right" start the princess "Sunset explained me the situation, and agree to use the same magic maybe can resolve the problem."

"Well, now that we're together, let's try again." Exclaim Rainbow.

Again, every student takes her instrument while Twilight takes a microphone, Adagio places the shards of the jewel before them, with the music playing the magic again take effect on the seven and the light beam strikes the jewel causing it to glow.

"It works!" Sonata exclaim with glad.

Aria smile with Sonata, Adagio other hand remains expressionless but attentive.

Magic completely surrounds the jewel but extinguished the light is shown once again that the fragments remain the same, the seven friends looking surprised and kept a profound silence.

"... It was a nice try, I guess." Adaio says keeps again her fragments.

"... I think, we did not do well." Gently says the shy girl.

"Yes, that's obvious." Rainbow agreed.

Sunset sighs "I do not know what to do..."

The princess think a little. "Maybe the jewels of sirens are not compatible with the magic we use."

"And there is some way we can use a different magic." Ask the dressmaker.

"I do not know, first we should see what kind of magic have the sirens."

"What are you suggesting?" Ask the leader siren.

"Maybe if I could analyze the gems could discover its magic, and from there could create a hypothesis."

"You expect, we to give you our charms as well?"

"Well, I do not know how to fix if I do not know how they work."

Adagio stares at her suspiciously.

Rainbow intervenes "it's not like you have another option, right?"

The siren looks at the athlete and then returns her eyes to the princess, after an intense silence pulls out his bag and hands it to Twilight.

"All the siren´s charm are the same. One is enough for whatever you do."

Twilight open the bag to see fragments of on the internal "... It´s okay, thanks."

The siren just look at the princess and wordlessly turns and heads for the door.

"Where are you going?" Sunset ask.

"We have nothing to do here anymore, Aria, Sonata, let's go."

Aria does not refute and going with their leader, Sonata on the other hand looks a moment to students and then look down a bit before follow the others out of the room.

The seven girls only observe the door a moment. Until the farmer broke the silent.

"Well, that could have gone better."

"Agreed" Rarity said.

"... Twilight, you think we can fix their jewels?" Sunset look at her pony partner

Twilight keep quiet a moment "... I don´t know Sunset, I really I don´t know."

~Silent~

Outside school, Adagio loses balance so that it is held on the wall to keep from falling, Aria and Sonata quickly and help hold join.

"I'm fine ... I'm fine."

Sonata tries to encourage her partners "... it´s ok, sure the Rainbooms find soon a solution."

"... maybe, but just in case ... we'll need a plan B."

Without another word keeps walking and her partners observed each other somewhat confusing each other before following.

After putting their hoods, the three go away from the school.

Adagio keep thinking "If the princess is here, it is because there is a door, and all door can open, if you have the key."

~Silent~

After all that has happened , the rainbooms separate to think a little about the situation, but not before sharing a hug with her princess friend.

Sunset and Twilight are heading back to the portal.

"You really go now?"

"I need back to Equestria to examine the gem, I cant do in this world, I haven't the means."

"Yes, I understand, I hope that when you come back we have more time to talk."

"I try to make time to visit you."

Twilight is about to leave when an idea comes to her mind.

"Hey Sunset, why you not coming?"

"W-Wath?! M-me?!!

"Sure, between the two we could make a more rapid and thorough investigation."

"I... I…"

The former equine look at the point in the statue where lies the portal, with a look of melancholy hugs herself and takes a step back.

"... I cant." Says looks at down.

What? Why not?

"I cant go back, not after what I did."

"Sunset..." The princess puts the hand on her shoulder. "Nobody in Equestria blame you for what happened, much less want punish you or anything."

Sunset not look up "... Still... I..."

"I assure you, even the Princess Celestia, she was very happy to learn that you had managed to make friends."

"... Celestia..."

"When I told her about you, she was very happy."

Sunset looked up to see Twilight with a surprised expression.

"Princess seems to miss you so much, it would be nice you were to see her."

Sunset turns to look down and kept silent for a moment. "… I cant…"

"Sunset..."

"... I cant, I dare not cope to Celestia, or to Equestria... I cant ... I cant..."

"... Forgive, to yourself?"

"... Yes."

Twilight looks to the floor concerned. "I understand..." Smile at Sunset "But Sunset, remember, you also have friends in Equestria, when you're ready, we'll be there for you." Smile at her.

Sunset watch the princess and she smiles kindly, Sunset soon put a small smile. After a brief farewell Twilight going through the portal, leaving Sunset alone with her thoughts.

~Silent~

The water falling from the shower hidden bated breath of Adagio, with her head down and holding on the wall with her hand, she leaves the water running into her body and breathes agitated, a couple of exhalations end up passing blood from her mouth falling to the ground, the red are mixed with the water and is lost in the drain.

Having been cleaned and changed, feeling slightly reinvigorated going into the living room.

"Water always calms me"

"Hello Adagio" Says Sonata sitting on the couch

"Hi Sonata "

"Hello Adagio" says... Sonata? ... sitting on the couch...

"Hi... Sonata ?"

Then she notice the presence of two Sonatas , one with blue hair and the other with pink hair, she immediately senses that something is wrong.

Raises her finger to count them "One, two... ... somethings is wrong here"

Of nowhere the pink one begins to laugh and causes your hair to swell, thus revealing her true identity.

"Hiiiiiiii Addy!!!" Says Pinkie with a big smile.

The siren leader is silent watching the cheerful girl. "I would question but I fear that affects my mental health"

"Sonie made me a little makeover."

" "Sonnie"? Wait... "Addy"?"

In that moment Fluttershy arrives with a basket in the hands. "Girls I managed all-oh , Adagio... ah, hi... "

Adagio looks at the shy girl, this one steps back and looks at the floor .

"What you two doing here?"

"We wanted to make sure you were okay, so we came to visit you. Pinkie said with her characteristic good cheer.

"... Well, we are perfectly, so you can go now."

"True, come on girls! to the picnic."

"Picnic?"

"Ah yes, Pinkie thought it would be fun to do a picnic in the park. The shy girl said with a small smile.

"We brought sandwiches and cakes and barbeque sauce." Emphasizes her sentence showing everything in the basket

"And ah... we forget the dishes, so we took some of the kitchen... I hope you do not mind, please do not bother."

Adagio look at them contemptuously. "... Whatever." Without saying more walks to her room.

"Adagio wait!" Sonata gets up and close to her. "Come with us."

"Excuse me?"

"Yes Addy will be super funny!!"

Adagio look at them a moment. "No thanks" With that she locks herself in her room.

"Awwwwww but I brought cakes of chococherry"

No answer, the three girls stare at the door a little depressed.

Sonata lets out a sad sigh, Pinkie smiles to her .

"Sonnie come on, let's have fun"

The siren looks at the two girls who smile at her, soon she returns them the gesture.

~Silent~

The party girl runs through the park and a sharp jump falls squarely in the shade of a tree. "Auch ha ha ha" Flips over slightly to see her companions. "Fluttershy Sonnie come this place is perfect!"

The three girls get together and within minutes prepare their picnic.

"Sonnie, why do not you take off your hood?"

"Ah, no ... I do not think that is right, if someone sees me..."

"I know that people look at you can give a little scary" Sais the shy girl. "But , also , it is important to try to overcome your fears"

Sonata looks at the two girls and then lowers his hood.

"Wiiiiii!"

"yay."

All three have a good time talking and sharing laughs while tasting the snacks.

The joy is broken when accidentally Sonata thinks aloud. "I would like Adagio and Aria were here" Sonata realizes what he said when he sees the worried looks of her companions. "oh ! I... I'm sorry, I didn't want..."

"Oh do not apologize." Fluttershy comforted her. "It is normal to want to be with your... ah... friends?"

"Am, they are my sisters."

"Oh, well, with your sisters"

"Oh my gosh!! you are sisters!! That is so... so... CUTE!!!" The eyes of the girl pink sparkled with tiny stars. "Having sisters is the best in the world!!"

"Yeah, well, they're not sisters, especially cute, but still, I love them."

"Oh I know what you feel, I love my sisters so much!! I don´t know what I do without them! in fact."

Pinkie takes her cell phone and dials a number. A voice something serious and unemotional voice is heard on the other side.

"Hello?"

"I LOVE YOU MAUD!!!"

"I love you too Pinkie" Says the voice still without showing emotion.

With that hangs up and calls to another number.

"mm-hmm?"

"I love you Marble!!!"

"mm-hmm!"

"Tell to Limestone that I love her!!!"

"mm-hmm"

The girl keeps her cell phone and smile.

Fluttershy and Sonata look somewhat confused , but soon ignore it and between the three follow the picnic.

~Silent~

The day flew for them, at the end of their picnic the three decided to walk a little around town. There was no real destination, just a quiet walk.

Great was their surprise to see out of a fabric store to their dressmaker friend.

"Rarity!!" Call Pinkie with emotion.

The named, turns to see her friends. "Fluttershy, Pinkie, that pleasant surprise, what you doing here?"

"We are walking with Sonnie, we went picnicking and was super fun!!!"

Fluttershy nods silently and Sonata turn out the gaze smiling.

"What are you doing here Rarity? That is, if you do not mind me asking "

"I´m looking for some new fabrics, they are for my new order."

The three friends started a good conversation, but Sonata could not pay attention to this as her head started spinning, her eyelids began to fall and her legs failed, no even was able to hear the screams of the three girls when her body fell to the ground unconscious .

Rainbow Thoughts. Siren Tears

In the schoolyard, on the soccer field, Rainbow practiced with the ball keeping an expression of concentration on her face, she gives a strong kick sending the ball towards the goal but before reaching this is stopped by Applejack.

"So you're still here."

"Practice helps me clear my mind."

Applejack kick the ball to her "Not even went to lunch?"

At that time the stomach of the athlete throws a snarl.

"There's your answer." She takes the ball and starts to nod.

"... Sirens?"

"What else?"

Applejack puts front Rainbow while this drop the ball and both start playing.

"Look, I know how you feel, I'm not quite agree with this to help them." Confesses the farmer.

They start moving your feet, each trying to keep the ball.

"... it is important to others" Says Rainbow "I know, but I, can't help but thinking..."

"That when they return to have their necklaces they make their own again."

The farmer manages to snatch the ball and runs to the opposite goal while Rainbow follows her.

"You hear, all we did" Says de athlete try to take the ball "If they recover their magic they try-" Get take the ball and run in the opposite direction "Turn everyone into zombies again."

Applejack manages to get in front blocking her way, Rainbow tries to evade but Applejack moves standing always ahead.

"I know, and believe me, I'm worried about that."

Rainbow throws the ball in the air and both jump to reach it, Applejack gets strike a blow with the head and sent the ball to the other side, falling both go to it.

Applejack take the ball "On the other hand, even if they do that, we just have to stop them again."

Rainbow is placed in front of her. "I know we can do it that, but that's not the point."

Both fight for the ball.

"Help the bad guys, to they continue making bad things-" kick the ball to other side and run to it. "And then stop them, and having to help again?"

Arriving where the ball gives a strong kick and this flies entering the entire distance to the goal.

"Is just... stupid."

Applejack close to her "I'm surprised to say this, but you're right, it's hard, just forget what they did."

"... If at least they show that sorry, and they have changed, maybe I would be easier, but we saw that no."

"... Well, if they do not want to become friends, maybe we should try us take the first step. Fluttershy and Pinkie were to invite them to a picnic, or something."

Rainbow take her ball "mmh... interact with them, is not an idea that pleases me."

"Believe me, me neither, but we have nothing to lose, and everything to gain."

Rainbow remains silent for a moment while thinking. "... Well, I'll think about that" Her stomach growls causing her blushed

"Ha ha ha, come on, I invite you lunch, we will think better on a full stomach."

With that both girls leave school grounds.

~Silent~

Aria heard a curious melody, looks around and found Sonata's cell phone.

"um, hello?" She says answering call.

"Hey Arie, I'm Pinkie."

"... Who?"

"Pinkie you know, adorable cute with spongy hair-"

"Ah yes, the pink Rainboom, what you want?"

Silence fell a second before Pinkie spoke in a worried tone. "... Am ... Well, it's about Sonnie."

The concern filled the siren instantly "Sonata? What happened?! She's okay?!"

"Yes, she's okay, it's just that ... well, after the picnic we took a walk, and we find Rarity, but Sonnie suddenly fainted."

"She's hurt?"

"No, is already better, we brought her to the house of Rarity, but she seems very tired, Rarity thinks, she shouldn't return to the department right now, so she agreed to let us stay at her home."

"Rarity is ... the dressmaker right?"

"Yes, and well, I just wanted to tell you, we'll stay in Rarity's home this night, and tomorrow we accompany Sonnie to the department, do not worry, we take good care of her."

"... And... well, fine... I guess..."

Pinkie's voice is heard liveliest "Relax, we take good care of Sonnie, see you tomorrow Arie, bye bye."

With that the call ends, Aria is with a worried look and Adagio surprised to see approach.

"A-Adagio..."

"... Where is Sonata?"

~Silent~

Its hear a knock on the door, the dressmaker answered immediately.

"Hello girls, please come in."

The two sirens enter in the house and taking off their hoods look around.

"Where is Sonata?" Ask the leader.

"In the kitchen with Pinkie and Fluttershy." Responds Rarity closing the door.

The three enter in the kitchen and see Pinkie, Fluttershy and Sonata eating cookies.

"Sonata" Called the leader.

Sonata turns. "A-Adagio..."

Adagio close to her. "Are you ok?"

"Y-Yes, just ... a little tired ..."

The leader siren extends her hand slightly and gives her a pearl, Sonata looks at the pearl a moment before taking it and bring it to her mouth. The three students watch the confused scene but do not comment.

"Who wants more cookies?!" The party girl says suddenly in an attempt to calm the atmosphere.

~Silent~

Night falls, after a few games, stories and several laughs, most not shared by two of the three sirens, all them decided to go to sleep. Improvising some "beds" with some blankets and pillows.

Accustomed to the soft calls of her animal friends at night, Fluttershy's hearing had become very acute, that's why a strange, almost inaudible sound managed to wake her, opening her eyes sees the others peacefully asleep, but her note the absence of one of the sirens.

"Adagio?"

She hears the sound again, like a groan of pain, with something of fear she rises and follows it. She sees the bathroom door slightly open. Carefully observed from the slot, and covers her mouth to cover her cry to see Adagio leaning on washing with a bloody mouth, Fluttershy is paralyzed and trembling while watching the siren wheeze and then expel blood from her mouth a few times.

Adagio gets some air and opens the tap letting water run, she wets her face and rinse the blood from his mouth, but then her legs shake and she falls to the ground.

"Adagio!!" She enters frightened and leans beside her.

A cough escapes from the faint siren and her opens the eyes to see the girl.

"Wait, I'll go for the others." She tries to get up but Adagio takes her arm and stop her.

"Don't... you... dare..."

Looks at her worriedly "A-Adagio..."

Rising with effort "I'm fine! ... i'm... fine..."

"You're not, you need to see a doctor."

"You idiot, you think a doctor of this world can help a magical creature?"

"But-"

"forget it, just let me, I'll be fine."

"You... you doesn't seem to be okay."

"Yeah well, you know I not eaten in weeks."

"But your sisters have not eaten either, and they don't-"

"Never mind! It's none of your business." Holding on to the wall with one hand, she walks to exit the bathroom.

The usually quiet girl puts a look of annoyance. "No! Adagio, tell me what happens!"

The named turn surprised by the tone of the girl.

"You're no fine! There's something you're not telling me and I demand you tell me it is!"

Adagio remains see her for a moment without saying anything. Then she close her eyes, dropping a tear of these, the drop fall, and turns into a pearl when fall on her hand.

Fluttershy looks the pearl. "... that..."

"If you really want to know, this is a siren's tear, for many, a very rare and valuable jewel, for us, a source of alternative food."

"A source... of food?"

"Sirens we arrived a certain age, can create these tears, using our own nutrients, we can make them and use them to feed others."

"You have..."

"I was making them for a while, for Aria and Sonata."

"You has been, feeding them with that, but you said that you use your..."

"Yeah yeah, I'm using the little power left my body to make them, if I could eat would not be problem, but as is not the case, basically I am hastening my death."

"De-Death?! ... A-Adagio you-"

She flips turning her back "I'm not stop." A brief silence is made between the two. "... Without our magic, we will die anyway, but if I can help them, then I do not care what happens to me"

The silence is uncomfortable, but suddenly, Adagio feels the arms of theother girl wrapped around her body.

Surprised turn her head to see her. "H-Hey...! what do you do?"

Fluttershy just smile to her. "Don't worry, we will repair your jewels, and then everything will be fine for you three."

Adagio is shocked at this and tries to say something but she cant talk, for a moment remain so until finally the former singer manages to say something.

"... why?"

"eh? Why what?"

"why you help us? After what we did, I would have expected that you hate us, your friend multicolor made it clear, she do not trust us."

"Rainbow is only worried, but I know that she help you in the end"

"Why she would do? Why did you do?"

The shy girl smile more "Because we are friends"

Again a silence is present.

Adagio closes her eyes and turns away. "You are very strange."

Fluttershy keeps her smile and follows the siren as they return to the living room where the others sleep.

"I'm sleepy" Says Adagio "I back to sleep, you should do the same"

Fluttershy see her and smile "Yeah, you're right"

"By the way, you'd better not say any of this ... I don't need those two worry more."

"I understand, okay, I promise."

"Fine"

With that she lie between the covers, Fluttershy does the same.

"... Thanks"

A whisper, almost inaudible, but the shy girl listens, her smile widens, and soon left peacefully asleep.

~Silent~

The weekend comes to an end. Monday morning, Sunset heading towards her classroom, until a voice makes her stop.

"Sunset, please wait."

The girl turns and sees the school principal. "P-Principal Celestia..."

The director approaches the girl with a smile. "Sunset, I was about to call my office, I want to talk to you."

"If is for the mousse, that was Pinkie's idea, I had no idea." Quickly says the girl a little nervous.

The director looks confused. "... what?"

"Ah... Nothing! Ha ha... ah... What you talking about?"

The director remains confusing gesture, but quickly is changed to a smile. "Let's go to my office, that I can explain better."

The director walks followed by equestrian girl.

Once in office, Sunset sees another student sitting at the desk.

Flash Sentry.

"Stay here a moment, I'll go tell your teachers that you are with me."

The director is removed from the room and both students look at each other for a moment, before turn their gaze in opposite directions.

"This is uncomfortable." Is all that the sunset's mind does think.

After a very uncomfortably silent minutes sitting next to each other. Celestia returned accompanied by a man of very peculiar aspect.

"Professor Discord?!"

The man, dressed in an elegant, ancient suit, remove and clean his monocle smiling at the girl. "Is "Disc O'urt", my dear Sunset."

"Ah ... can I know what happens?" Asks the boy as confused like Sunset.

Celestia sits at her desk and looks at the youngs. "Good dear students, as you know, soon will take place the anniversary of our school, and was planning to celebrate with a teather play."

"And that's where I come in, as a teacher of art and manager of theater club, is my duty to write and direct the play."

Both students look at the teacher expectantly.

...

A while…

Sunset finally speak "... yes, and...?"

"Why WE are here?" The boy asked finishing the question of the girl.

"Because, you two will be the stars of the play" The man replies without doubt his words.

"WHAT?!!!" Both claim.

"You will have the most important roles of the work."

"No there should be auditions or something?" The boy Says.

"Nonsense, you are perfect for this, I'm sure."

"why us?" Sunset ask.

"You are the most prominent school students, certainly are the best choice to represent it." It is the response of the Director.

"But..." Sunset looks at Flash.

Both look each other before turns out their gaze.

"Perfect all fixed, rehearsals will begin tomorrow after lunch, I'll make sure we have everything needed for the day of the performance."

With that the subject is removed of the room while "sings" a list of things for the theater.

"Well that settles it, you can return to your class, thanks for coming." Says the director with a smile.

No more than, the two students leave the room, look each other askance for a moment, after both turn around and walk towards their respective class room.

"God damn it." Shared thinking.

Author's Note

No, this story will not have SunsetxFlash

Sound of Magic

It was lunchtime, Sunset stays sitting at the table waiting for her friends, her face is denoted her annoyance.

"Sunsieeeeeeeeeee!" Pinkie exclaims when you arrive and sit beside her. "Hello!"

"Hi Pinkie..."

The other girls come and sit while greet the former equine.

"Hey, we listen you're going to participate in the school play." Rainbow says with an amused smile.

"The gossip came so fast?"

"yyyy-yep, even the part where you do a duet with Flash Sentry." Answered the farmer.

"Ha ha that mess you got!"

"You must be very excited!" Exclaims the dressmaker with shining eyes.

"The emotion surrounds me..." Answer the former equine while eating some of her salad.

"am…. You're not... excited?" Asks the shy girl.

Sunset swallows her food. "Not really... I mean, not that bother me, but they could have asked me before."

"Come on Sunsie! Will be fun!" Says the cheerful girl of the group.

"Yeah, will be fun to act with your ex-boyfriend on stage." Laughs the athlete winning a reproachful look of her dimensinal friend.

Sunset let out a whimper. "Can we talk about something else?"

As if in response to the petition, the backpack of Sunset begins to shine, after her surprise a smile sits on her face and pulls out her book.

"A message of Twilight!" Sunset exclaims with a smile.

"What says darling?" Rarity question gaining the attention of all.

Sunset reads the book carefully before answering. "She says, she discovered how gems work! She wants us to find her in the statue after school." The smile of all was swift.

"Great, maybe now we can fix those things." Says the athlete

Pinkie takes her phone. "I'll call Sonnie to tell her."

Sunset stop her. "No wait, she says do not tell the Dazzlings yet."

"Uuuuuh why?"

"We still need to test some things, do not give them false hopes."

"Oooh, oki doki loki."

"Well, after school we go to wait Twi, I hope we can end this matter once." Rainbow says winning assent of all.

All they settle and have finished their lunch and wait for the end of the day.

~Silent~

At the end of the school day, the six friends waited all students withdraw and then went to the statue, remained sitting around waiting for they princess friend, spent a few minutes before from the base is coming from the girl who waving arms manages to avoid falling.

"Twilight!" All they exclaim joyfully.

"Hey girls, sorry if I took me, I wanted to make sure not arrive when you are in class."

"It's true that you discover as repairing the mermaid jewels?" Asks Pinkie trying to hold her notorious emotion.

"Well, something like that, I have an idea, we go somewhere to speak better, so I can explain."

"Slumber party! Go to my house!" Pinkie exclaims then try to run.

Her friend athlete holding the collar of her blouse. "I sorry to break your bubble, but tomorrow we have class, no time for a slumber."

"Awwwww ..."

"Go to my department, it is the closest."

All agree with Sunset and are launched.

Nobody notices the presence of someone hiding nearby who observe them carefully.

~Silent~

The six girls clustered around Twilight, this takes the gem which had been assembled, but she noticed cracks in showing that it was not fixed.

"Well, as I discovered, these gems react by sound waves, when the sound comes into contact with the gem, the magic inside it turn on, and as the waves touch them, they will have different effects. I have a theory, that at that time, when we use our magic with music on them, they received a power surge, causing them to break."

"Ok, a lot of magic equal to gems broken, As are repaired?" Questions the athlete.

"I believe, the gems should be able to repair themselves, as long as we manage to stimulate its magic."

"So, we should play a specific song?" Applejack question.

"I not think it's that simple, but in theory, the gems will be repaired, if we use magic correctly."

"Well, we must continue playing songs to find one that fixes the crystallites." Rainbow suggests confidently

"That sounds fun." Says Pinkie.

"Well, but we need some schedule, that will not interfere with classes." Says Rarity.

"We can do it during the practices." Applejack proposed. "And stay a little longer after class."

"Wait, and... the play?" Fluttershy recalls. "Sunset be tested."

"It's true, darling, when you said you are the tests?" Asks the dressmaker to the former equine.

"The teacher said it would be tomorrow, after lunch, I guess it will be until the end of classes ... I hope."

"School play?" Twilight question puzzled.

"Yes! The school will make a play and Sunsie be the star!" Pinkie answered animatedly.

"Wow, that sounds pretty good."

Rainbow smiles mockingly. "Yes, especially because she will act with Flash."

Sunset hits her face with her palm. "Ugh!! why do you keep reminding me that?!"

"Because the face you put is very funny ha ha!"

"... You will act ... with Flash Sentry?" Twilight question with a strange face.

"Yes, it is one of the occurrences of the teacher Discord, but I have no interest in doing anything with he, so don't worry"

The Princess blushes "What?! worry?! why should I worry? I do not worry about... he he..."

"It is not for nothing, but I think we turned a lot." coment the farmer to see the situation.

"Right, Twi, what you suggest we do then?" Sunset question.

"Well, I still I do some studies on the gem, but I can do around here, tomorrow while you are in class I will stay in the practice room."

"Are you sure sugarcube? If you are caught there in class schedules you could get in trouble."

"But I cant get into any class."

"You can stay here in my apartment, I'll leave the keys and some money, you can research here and if you want you can go for a walk, when they finish classes go to school and we will be in the room."

"Sunset I could not accept stay at your house."

"You can, and you will."

That and little more terminated the meeting.

With a farewell each returns home. The two Equestres left alone in the department.

"Well, they left, and there's something you would not tell, what is?" Questions the owner of the apartment.

Twilight sighs. "When I walked through the portal, the gem began to react to the magic of Equestria, I thought that if I gathered enough magical power could do something, but ... it didn't work, no matter how much magic invested about it, the gem was not enough to react properly, makes It lack the same magic that acted on it the first time."

"What's wrong with that?"

"The magical energy of Equestria, is much stronger than this world, and yet it took much time and effort to gather enough to get a reaction ... I don't know how could cost gather the necessary power here, or if you want if you can be possible."

"That's why you came back so soon, you want to try to analyze the magic in here."

"Only when collecting and discover how to use magic in this world, I can get an idea of what to do."

Sunset is left wondering for a moment, then speaks. "I have something that might help."

Looking in her closet and pulls out a laptop, turn it on and opens a series of strange files.

"What is this?"

"Is the "magic" that leads the world with the help of this ... well ... I could do what I did when we met ... I gathered some data on the portal and the possibility of using the crown, among other things."

"Wow impressive, perhaps it serves if I..." Her sentence is cut off when you try to use the computer. "If I can make this work..."

"Let me show you."

After a few lessons, dinner and a short talk about who takes the bed to sleep, Sunset falls asleep and Twilight start practicing with the computer, slowly manages to understand its operation and start analyzing the data that Sunset had shown her.

"It's interesting, I'm surprised that this world can have machines and knowledge like this, I wonder, as Equestria would do with this?

Putting aside that thought for now, it continues its work.

~Silent~

Comes the next day, spends the morning, spends the lunch time.

Sunset goes to the room that is usually used by the drama club.

To enter, realizes that Flash already in place, both divert the gaze of the other.

"... It will be a long afternoon..." Think Sunset keeping her distance from the boy.

For a few minutes they sit away from the other, wrapped in a very awkward silence.

The tension finally breaks with the income of the teacher.

"Good day my young stars! Ready to shine?"

"If we say "no", that matter?"

The teacher ignored the comment of Sunset and handed both papers.

"Here is the script of the play, reincarnated the foundation of our establishment in an unparalleled history."

"I'm pretty sure the school was not founded in the Victorian era." Says the boy read the letter.

"And I'm pretty sure it had not an evil sorcerer" Says the girl.

"And of course you embody the brave knight and noble maiden who helped build it."

"Those were an education instructor and a representative from the neighboring nation."

"Tomorrow will be auditioning for other characters, for today, we will practice in your incarnation to his characters, so come and get started." Orders the professor cheerful way while sitting in front of them.

"Please kill me" Thinks Sunset.

~Silent~

A great relief swept the girl when she finally left the room, a sigh of relief was immediate, and was imitated by her male partner.

After each observed a moment, they both turn around and start walking in opposite directions.

Sunset feel some tension build on it and after a whimper turns.

"Flash wait!"

The boy turns a little surprised, the girl is approached by a certain distance.

"... I guess ... we'll have to see each other quite often now, and well ... I don't want to deal with that tension every time."

The boy did not answer but look carefully at the girl.

"... Look, I'm not ... proud of the things I did ... or ... I said ... and ... I was not worth much, but I ... really sorry ... what happened."

Flash seems to say something but in the end only silent.

"... I want to try to be better, I will not ask you to forgive me, but I want you to know ... I'm sorry, really, rather not have this grudge between us."

"… I would like that too…"

"I will not ask you to we be friends, I just wish that we can see and talk each other, without this feeling so uncomfortable."

"... That, would be fine."

"... You think we can, try, get along better?"

"I ... I think ... yeah, that would be fine."

"Good! I ... that I calm a little. Am ... I must go ... we shall see later, in the trials."

"Yeah, okay, that ... you do well."

"Yes, you too, b-bye...!"

With that said both retire in opposite directions feeling nervous, but a little more relieved.

~Silent~

The school day ended.

Twilight had come to the school and the whole group met in the practice room.

Six students expect patients to the princess who keeps checking the computer of Sunset.

Rainbow finally ask what all want to know. "And well, you have something to help us?"

"To be honest, yes."

She shows all other the laptop screen, where can see a series of data and graphics.

"I think, we were attacking the problem the wrong way, I researched a bit and I think that direct exposure to the magical accumulation caused a saturation in uptake pathways and distinction, which caused a collapse in the internal waves resulting energy annulment, therefore, I think the best way to avoid that is to fracture the source of magic denser levels, I think we can do if we split up individually, so the gem may recognize sources of magic and will adapt to each correctly."

They all stare at the princess pony with blank stares and silence.

... For a while.

"... She say wath now?" Finally asks the farmer.

Pinkie responds. "Duh! We play together, but then putting our magic one by one."

"You say, instead of using magic, all at once, we have to take turns?" Sunset consultation with interest.

"Is a theory, but it might work."

All agree, Twilight placed the gem on the floor in front of them, each taking place and begin to play, the magic is activated on all, Twilight sings a melodious chorus and is surrounded by stars of light which then fly to gem and this absorbs starting to shine.

"Well girls one at a time, Pinkie, you go first."

With a big smile the party girl touches her battery and creates balloons which flying to the gem and are absorbed by this.

"Applejack now you."

The farmer plays her guitar and forms several apples, these fly around the place before being absorbed by the gem.

"Rarity your turn."

The dressmaker touches harmoniously their keys forming diamonds are immersed in the gem.

"Fluttershy."

With a gentle turn the shy girl forming several butterflies flying over the gem and when mixed with make shine more.

"Rainbow Dash."

The athlete plays with great emotion and creates various colorful rays, these go to the gem, but unlike the rest, the lightning strike dividing the gem into pieces.

All these are scared and surprised by this, Twilight is quick to put the pieces together.

"What happened?" Applejack question puzzled.

"Rainbow, what you done?" Rarity asks accusingly.

"I just did what Twi told us."

Twilight gets together all the pieces and reassemble sighs of relief in doing so. "... Maybe we did it in the wrong order ..., try again, this time Rainbow will go first."

"And try to down some intensity." Says the farmer to the athlete.

"Ugh, fine."

Again they begin to play and when their magic is activated, Rainbow returns to form and launch its rays, they impact the gem and again divided and scattered the pieces.

"... Not see me." Exclaims Rainbow. "This time I did soft."

Twilight look a fragment "I do not understand, was responding very well."

Sunset analyzes a moment the situation. "It is almost as if the magic, attack the gem"

All look carefully at which the athlete.

"... Wh-what?! W-why all you see at me like that?!"

"Rainbow, we are trying to help the sirens, you remember?" Applejack said in a scolding tone.

"Correction, you want to help them, I don't interest those three."

"I thought we had already discussed."

"Apology for not trusting in who wanted turn our school into a zombie army, and not put to Sunset at this! Sunset is not like these harpies..." She turn her back to them "I cant trust them..."

Pinkie looks at Rainbow with a sad expression. "... Dashie ..."

Fluttershy looks the same way "... Rainbow ..."

Applejack denotes anger and abruptly makes Rainbow tip over.

"What's wrong with you?! One thing distrust of they and another very different is let them die! Really only going to stay watching the three of them-"

Rainbow interrupts with a shove "Let me! I understand perfectly what happens! Is not good to leave them like that... but... I..."

Rainbow falls silent, the others watch with different emotions.

"I... just... leave me alone!!" Rainbow shouts to run the place for great surprise of all.

"Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy tries to call her friend.

They all observe the door slamming behind the athlete.

Sunset looks to the floor with a look of pain. "... I think that the practice ended for today..."

Dazzling Day

Sunset and Twilight had returned to the department. Sunset drinks her cup of coffee while Twilight drinking her tea. both maintain a pained expression on their faces.

Sunset lets out a sigh. "All things was more complicated than I expected."

Princess nods to the statement. "I just hope than Rainbow will be fine."

"Fluttershy went to talk to her, if anyone can make Rainbow leading to pull on her chest, she is. So we just have to trust"

Twilight just look at the small bag that carries the jewel and sighs.

Sunset takes the script of the play "And to torture me more, I must memorizarme this thing"

"It is long?"

"No, but it is annoying, condemned Discord, forces me to act on this unhinged work."

"I don't think it's that bad."

"Discord has no magic but still remains a lunatic."

"Maybe you're right."

"better I get to read this thing"" takes her coffee and rises. "can you entertain yourself for a while?"

"Oh sure, I will investigate a little more about the gems, to see if I find something."

"Well, let me know if you need anything.

With her libretto and her Coffee rate, Sunset sit on the bed and starts reading. Twilight gets to work on the computer.

~Silent~

Rainbow sat on her couch in the living room, with doors and windows closed, just looking at the floor and try to ignore the knock at the door, after a while the blows stop, she listen to the tone of her phone on the table , to see the screen her see the name of her friend, but does not answer, the answering machine answers the phone and hears the soft voice on

"Rainbow, I know you're there, please let me in, I want to talk."

Rainbow doubt look at her phone.

On the other side of the door, Fluttershy with her phone on her ear expects some response from her friend.

"... Rainbow, please ..."

After a few seconds put down her phone and wait, finally can hear the door unlocked, but not opened, with some doubt take the knob and opens into the house, inside even in the dim light manages to see her friend sitting on the couch with downcast eyes, with concern sits beside her and look at her, a silence between the two is made.

"... You come to scold me too?"

"No, Rainbow, I want you to tell me that happens to you."

"I said! I don't want to help these harpies."

"Rainbow I know is not just about that, please tell me what you have."

"… I have nothing…"

"Rainbow, I've known you since kindergarten, you're not like this, tell me what's wrong."

"I say that's nothing!"

"you lie!"

Rainbow stands up and angrily looks at Fluttershy. "I say that I have nothing!! I do not want to help those three and that's it!!"

Contrary to what one might expect Fluttershy is not intimidated by the tone of her friend. "No Rainbow, I know you're scared about something and I demand to know what is!!"

Both stare at each other, everything around seems to disappear while watching intently to the other, as if it were a struggle. Rainbow keeps a stern look at her eyes. Fluttershy only show determination, after what felt hours but were only seconds, the "battle" ends resulting in the defeat of Rainbow, who turns and closes her eyes and fists. Fluttershy look at her with concern, but before she could speak hears the voice of her friend.

"When ... when Sunset separated us all... I felt... I felt I was failed..."

Fluttershy is shocked to hear that. "...What you failed...?"

"... Even though I knew that I did nothing wrong ... a part of me felt ... it was my fault ... I was not there ... I felt ... I could not keep our friendship ..." the athlete begins to tremble "... I felt that I lost my friends forever ... and I had not even the courage to fight ... just ... I just could practice, I wanted to forget everything, so I practiced and practiced, but I could never get out of my head that I had lost my friends ... I felt alone ... empty ... "

"... Rainbow ..."

"... When Twilight came ... and when AJ came to me ... I forgave her without hesitation, did not want to feel that ... I wanted my friends, more than anything ..."

The shy girl comes up to her and gently hug her behind placing her forehead on the back of the athlete.

Rainbow feels the hug, keep talking. "... And then Sunset... also became our friend... everything was happy... until... they came..."

"... The Dazzlings..."

"They... they made us fight!! ... They magic corrupted us and made us fight again, I nearly lost my friends... again..."

Fluttershy can feel the tears threatening her eyes. "Rain-"

"That's what I want say... but is lie!!!"

"Rainbow ..."

The Rainbow's tears begin to fall. "It was not just them...! I... I behaved like an idiot ... believing I'm the best...! I ignored to all you! Even blame Sunset when she tried to help... I failed you, I failed you all..."

"Rainbow, you did not fail."

"... yes I did, I started everything, if there were no... I want to blame the sirens, but in fact, I also my fault, I try not to think about it, but ... when I see them ... when I see them, I can't help thinking about it, my mistakes, my failures ... and I think I'm going to fall back into that loneliness ... I don't... I don't...!

Fluttershy let her tears falls "so... your magic ..."

"I thought at first he wanted to help, but ... in the end, always, always thought, what would happen, and part of me ... I wanted to destroy those things... to make sure, they not..."

Both fall silent and tears fall to the ground, Fluttershy gets stronger her hug and Rainbow remains in place without moving.

"... I'm ... I'm aweful..."

"Rainbow you no-"

"Yes! Yes I am ... for my selfish desires ... I'm letting those three die... even they no deserve that!"

"Rainbow you're not selfish! All we want to remain friends, all we fear, all fear that they make us fight again."

"... But I'm the one who does not want to help ..."

"... you want, just... you are afraid ... Rainbow, we are with you."

"... But ... if lost you... again ..."

"We're friends, we missed each others once, but now we are together, our friendship... our friendship is stronger than all... even if they rebuild it, we can face her spell, and remain friends, you are not alone Rainbow... never again, never again ... "

None spoke, Rainbow just turned and shared a hug with her friend, both crying and holding tightly to the other, sharing their concerns and strength.

~Silent~

A new day.

Six of the seven friends meet at the practice room, unlike other days, they are quiet, and have no interest in playing.

The door opens, and the missing member appears.

"Dashie!!" exclaims the party girl and gets her friend a hug. "you're better?"

"... yeah I... sorry for what happened yesterday." she says corresponding the hug.

"Don't worry about that darling" Responds Rarity with a smile. "All we are stressed."

"Yeah, I just needed to talk to someone, I guess."

Rainbow look at Fluttershy, she smiles.

Pinkie breaks the hug and look expectantly at all. "well, what we do today then? We try again the magic of one on one?"

"I do not think that works, at least not yet..." responds Rainbow downcast.

Applejack looks at Rainbow worried, but decided not to touch the subject. "... then, what shall we do?"

"We will to see Sonnie, Arie and Addie!" Pinkie answered animatedly.

"See them?"

"Yes! If you still can't repair the gems, at least we can visit them and brighten them the day."

"I'm not sure they was glad to see us." says the farmer.

Pinkie does not listen and insteadtake her phone make the call, and a few seconds later talk.

"Sonnie, the girls and I go your home to visit you!" She pauses. "Eh? you are not?" another pause, "Oh, and where are you?"

~Silent~

"The Seaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

With that cry, the blue siren runs to the water wearing her white swimsuit one piece decorated with small bows and a semi transparent skirt.

the rainbooms observe a moment the place, somewhat curious.

"So, a day at the beach." Says the former equine.

"I guess it makes sense" tells the farmer. "Because they are sirens, ... yes?"

Pinkie pie appears in a swimsuit one piece with three colors. "To swiiiiiiiiiiiiiim!" runs into the water.

"This is not public beach area" said the princess. "It is good that we are here?"

"Relax Twi, it is not a prohibited area or anything." answers her equine companion.

"Yeah but ..."

Aria dressed in a green suit of a piece with straps that frees her back take the word. "In my opinion, if there is no" no ", then it is permissible."

Rainbow turns to see Adagio sitting on a nearby rock, with a golden piece suit that reveals her belly.

"And ... why you came here?"

"How your hatter friend said, we are sirens, water is our element, helps us to relaxing"

"But you're not swimming"

"I like to feel the sun too"

For the rest of the afternoon, the Rainbooms accompanied the sirens on their day at the beach.

Sirens enjoyed the water and sand. Just Pinkie had taken a bathing suit, but still the others enjoyed some playing on the shore.

there were sand castles, and Fluttershy found some hermit crabs nearby, Sonata seemed interested in them.

It was not long however, before the sun began to set. Adagio notice that,

"Well come on, it's time to go home" Says the leader siren to her companions.

"Awwwwww but we're having fun" Reproaches pinkie being buried up to the neck in sand.

"If you want you can stay, we're leaving"

"Um ... Adagio"

"What's wrong Sonata?"

"Before we left, we could go to a last place? Please?"

Adagio looks at Sonata, her returns a beseeching look, the leader just sigh.

~Silent~

With the sun about to disappear into the horizon, the nine girls watch the show from a hill guardrail not far from the beach where they were. The Dazzlings had changed their usual attire

"This place is very nice." Coment Fluttershy

"I saw while I was swimming" Says Sonata. "I thought we would have a good view."

"You not wrong, the view is divine." Says rarity contemplating the landscape

Sonata look at her sisters. "Aria, Adagio come and see."

"Pass" respond Adagio. "I'm thirsty, I'm going for a soda."

With that said walking to a nearby store.

Sonata looks at her, then turn to Aria. "... And you Aria?" smiling to her

Aria just turn the gaze. "ummm ..."

Twilight looks at sun "The sunset is more beautiful in this world."

Sunset responds. "That's because there's not a princess to move the sun, is slower, more ... magic?"

"... Or not magic...?"

"Whatever is more beautiful."

Sonata sighed "This brings me back memories."

"Memories of what?" ask Aria.

"Don't you remember when we were little, and Adagio let us see the sunset?"

"That was not so interesting."

"But it was fun because we did it together."

"... yeah ... whatever."

Sonata smiles "I like to remember those moments."

"Awwwww you three are so adorable" Pinkie says joyfully.

Aria rolls her eyes. "You should not think about those things Sonata"

"But I want to do, you are my only family"

The statement makes impacted at all. Sonata realizing answers the question never made.

"... My mother died when I was still very small."

All the girls are shocked to hear it. Aria turns her head but says nothing.

"To say truth, I have no memory of her, her face, or her voice, nothing ..."

A little mermaid swims through the water, soon it is reached by a siren older and as if you talk begins to guide her to a cave, there is a much greater siren, clearly an adult, which holds between its legs so can be classified as a newborn mermaid, the two younger sirens approach see little.

"Adagio is the older, so, after mom died, she was in charge of taking care of the two."

An adult siren lying lying on the floor, the younger one stays on the sidelines, while the older one of the three approaches to see her. A little siren, almost newborn is restless, the older one approaches to the two, makes a similar gesture to hug, and taking the smallest, she swims away, the young one flips a moment to see the adult still in the floor, then follows the other.

"Adagio always strived so we could be happy, taught me how to swim, sing, I protected from predators and anything that could hurt me, Aria was also there for me but Adagio was the one who was for both, always watching over us."

Time had passed, the little one was already a bit older, swiming and chase small fish to play, the young mermaid had also grown and accompanied the little girl in her games, near them lay which was now a almost adult mermaid, watching them and around them.

"Even having to face the loss of mother, managed to stay strong for us, she gave me ... everything a mother had given me."

Aria looks down with glassy eyes, rubbed her face with her arm to avoid mourn.

The girls around could not hold back the tears, even Rainbow tried to look elsewhere for these are not noticed.

Sonata also let her tears fall. "I never met my mom, but Adagio was always there, so now, when I try to think about my mom, I just think Adagio... and that... makes me happy."

All the girls, with tears still falling, drawing a smile.

Nobody notices the moment when Adagio return to the place.

"Sonata, Aria"

Sonata wipes her tears "yes?"

"... are you ready to go?

"yes, let's go."

Aria doesn't respond but nods.

"Rainbooms, we're leaving"

Sunset take the word. "We should also return, we have school tomorrow."

The two groups separated, the day had been relatively short, but somehow, all them had learned something.

A New Plan. A Last Hope

Author's Note

I did this in a hurry, sorry if have errors.

A New Plan. A Last Hope

"I want retrying, to do so one at a time again."

The statement Rainbow wins the gaze of all present.

The six friends were gathered in their practice room. They had spent a couple of days from the afternoon on the beach.

Aria accompanied them that day, staying away also looks to the athlete.

Twilight is the one who breaks the silence. "Are you Sure Rainbow?"

"Yes, and... I want to be the first."

Sunset sees a moment and then smiles. "Okay, girls, let's start"

Without protest each took her position, Twilight placed the gem on the floor in front of all, and started playing, Aria was watching them with a serious expression hiding her nervousness.

Her magic is activated and all look to Rainbow, who after observing a moment the gem close her eyes.

For her memory pass memories of the battle against Dazzlings causing a strong anger.

Close your eyes tightly and forced those thoughts away.

"Stop being afraid." She thinks to herself. "You are not alone ... you never will be"

She continues to play ignoring the aggressive thoughts. "They are horrible... are monsters... but... but... they cared to each other, like us."

With that thought, her guitar released small rays that go to the gem, and after a few second the gem absorve it.

The others look what happened with amazement, Rainbow opens her eyes and surprised looks gem begin to glow slightly. Applejack let out a smile and a couple of tunes sends its own magic to the gem, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Twilight follow her example, soon the gem is imbued with the magic of all giving it off a high gloss,

Aria to see everything that shows a look of hope.

"Sunset just missing you." The princess exclaims to her friend.

The appointee smiling confidently and with great courage begins to play, suddenly her body is covered with what looks like flames and a final tune several flames join the gem, all the magic causes jewel start to float showing a strong light, the seven friends and siren approaching some containing his enthusiasm.

"It works, it works!" The princess exclaims with great joy.

The excitement of all vanishes when after disappearing brightness, the gem falls to the ground and separated into fragments again.

...

For a moment all remain just watching what happened with astonishment and unable to speak.

Rainbow growls with great discomfort and take the fragments in their hands "Ugh! Please! What more do you want from us ?! just fix up once! We gave you our magic!! what more do you want ?!"

"Maybe, um ... we should try another order?" Suggests the shy girl.

Twilight seems a second thought. "... No, the gem reacted well, but it's like something is missing."

"... Maybe ... not is possible to repair them."

The voice of the siren is heard cold and desperate.

All see it fall sitting on the floor and look down without emotion.

"Do not say that Arie..."

"If your magic can't fix it... then... not is possible..." Her body starts to shake. "Adagio... Adagio will..."

Pinkie runs and hugs her "Arie no! ... We can still do something! Right Twilight ?! there is a way! Right...?!"

"I ... don't... don't know... I..."

Rarity is close to Aria and puts her hand on her shoulder. "Honey, do not be like there will be a way to do it."

"… how?"

No one had an answer to that question.

The embiente felt heavy in the room. Sunset is worried, but she forced herself to smile and give support to all.

"C'mon girls, get up that spirit! Is that we can solve this problem."

"But how Sunset?" asks the farmer. "We have done what we could and still ..."

"There will be a way, we have magic on our side, just follow together, like the last time"

The words of the former equine reached to put little smiles on her friends.

Momething made "click" in the brain of Twilight.

"THAT IS!!!"

Her loud cry caused more than a scare.

"That's what we need!"

"... and "that" is... What?"

"In the battle of the bands, when all we started playing together, got rid of the spell Dazzlings on other students, and so got the magic we needed to defeat them!" Look at Aria. " am ... no offense. "

"whatever"

Rainbow wonder what all are thinking. "Then what you're saying is ..."

"Our magic alone is not enough, we need the same magic that we use that time."

"The magic of the whole school?" asks the dressmaker with open eyes in surprise.

Applejack rubbed her neck nervously. "I'm afraid to say this, but I do not think that can be done."

The siren rises "I doubt they can talk and convince everyone in this school to help us."

Sunset thinks for a moment. "Ummm ... maybe there's a way."

All they look to the former equine while she maintains a thoughtful mien.

"We no need to say anything, just get them all in one place, and start singing."

"And how you expect to have them all in the same place." questions the athlete.

"In fact, there is a nearby time when the whole school is in session."

The five students a moment and then look realize what your friend says.

"The School work!"

All exclaim in unison.

"That day all will be present, will be the perfect time to do it." fully explain the former equine.

Aria gets beating her surprise and think. "... And if all be there ... we can also eat something."

Polychromatic girl gives her a serious look "... yes, but not think anything funny."

Twilight takes command "we know what we must do, play all together and unite our magic to other students, this time to help Dazzlings."

Sunset follows. "And if we do that, we need to practice a lot, we girls, lots to see and do planning practice, get to work!"

All nod and immediately begin to formulate a kind of plan.

~Silent~

Sonata remains sitting with her leader which lies unconscious on his bed, turns slightly to see the clock on the wall and his eyes filled with concern, hear the faint sound of the front door open and then closed but does not pay attention, shortly after listening steps approaching from behind, the person behind it now remains standing looking at the sleeping siren and crosses her arms.

"what happened Aria?" Question silently.

"... not yet." Respond the newcomer.

Sonata's face fell heavily and her eyes threatened to let out tears.

"... she ... not wake up?"

"she woke up an hour ago ... and made these" shows two pearls in her hand. "after ask for you, and if you were okay, I told her yes, then she again fell asleep."

The median siren clenched his fists tightly as he let out a soft growl.

"... when ... when we recover our magic, we will make them all pay."

"...Aria ..."

"Rainbooms, Equestria, everyone paid what they have done to us."

"Aria, no ... we can't-"

"Sonata just look at us! We are starving, Adagio is lying in bed dying! That does not bother you?!"

Sonata: just look down and hertears fall. "... yes... yes it bothers me, it bothers me a lot!!"

Aria looks surprised. "... Sonata ..."

"... also I want ... I want revenge..."

Aria could not help her astonishment at seeing the usually cheerful siren so angry.

"I want to take revenge on those who brought us to this horrible world, of who did this to my sister, get revenge on all those who have made us suffer!"

"... Sonata ..."

Sonata being to sob. "... but... I'm afraid... Adagio... is dying... I do not want... I do not want to lose her... or lose you Aria... and if we ... if we keep fighting like that... then..."

sHe could not finish her sentence because crying broke down and holding her hands to her face began to mourn, Aria stood watching her a moment before leaning over her and wrapping her in a hug that younger siren corresponded. They remained so few minutes until Sonata calmed down, Aria was separated and clean the tears of the younger, both look to their leader still asleep.

"... she not last much longer ..."

That causes Aria close her fists, but she manages to calm down and talk.

"... the Rainbooms have a plan."

This earns a silent gaze of the other.

"... by what I see, may be our last chance, Adagio ... please... hold on a few more days..."

~Silent~

In the night in the department, with the help of Twilight, Sunset reviewed his recent dialogues.

"Thank you my beloved, you have shown me the light, and you have delivered me from my bonds, but now, my destiny is to follow my way, and you must follow yours, if you missing me a day, search in the wind, messages I'll leave you from a distance."

Teh princess applauds animatedly.

"Perfect Sunset! You can already recite all the work without problem, you learn your lines very fast, you surprise me."

"Well, that is because you helped me, and you learn my dialogues for yourself much faster."

"heh heh, I have a good memory"

"Well, tomorrow is the final test, then comes the work, I hope that everything goes well."

"Me too, ... but... Sunset"

"yes?"

"What you... what you think the Dazzlings going to do when they regain their magic?"

"The first thing they'll do is cause problems and eat something. after that, I fear I could not say."

"You think they can...?"

The silence surrounds a moment.

"Honestly, Twilight, I do not know what to think and what not. I just know, we are doing the right thing, and whatever happens then, we do the same."

The princess smiles, her companion imitates her, allowed to rest for the night, and hope that all will end well.

The Show Must Begin.

"Alright my young stars, we will go to the final test."

Shouts the drama teacher to all students newly dresses.

"I congratulate you on the costumes, Rarity, just fantastic."

"It was a pleasure dear teacher."

All students ensure that their suits are properly placed. Including Flash, who moves his shoulders a bit to accommodate his costume Victorian gentleman, blue and white, with a sword scabbard hanging on one side of her waist.

"Remember my dears, tomorrow is the big night, not for me but for all of you, and I want everyone to give their best."

The students nods in good spirits.

"He has been saying that all week, it's a bit annoying."

Flash turns toward the voice and sees Sunset stop nearby, dressed in an elegant Victorian golden color suit.

"Wow, Sunset, you looks fantastic!"

"Thanks, really I'm not used to dresses like this, but Rarity knows how to make them, you also look good, I bet that Twilight would love to see you dressed like that."

Flash blushed. "Pl-Please don't said that..."

Sunset just laughs at the boy's attitude

"Sunset! Flash!" Claim the teacher. "Please come, let's start!"

With that both they meet with the other students and start practice.

~Silent~

Trixie is dressed in a black suit leather, with an opening in her long skirt that reveals only one of her legs, and a long coat at same color.

"Servant, introduce yourself to me!"

Sunset approaches her, showing a somewhat fearful attitude.

"Y-Yes my Mistress, in what can I serve you?"

"You've probably heard of that meeting in that small town."

"Yes, my Mistress, what about it?"

"I have curious to see what that group is proposed."

"Can I ask the reason for your curiosity?"

"The lords and authorities present, are very important personalities in these lands, but I see no sense to have such a closed meeting where not engage state authorities, so I want you, you infiltrate between them and find out what they're up."

~Silent~

Testing continues. Now It is what looks like a swordfight between Flash and other students dressed in costumes similar to armor.

The blue-haired boy is winning, after that he approaches to Sunset who was sitting on the floor.

"Are you all right, my lady?"

"Yes, thanks for your help, kind gentleman."

"You not need to thank me."

~Silent~

Spend about 30 minutes and reach one of the final scenes, with Sunset with her back to Flash while he looks down.

"... You... You really gonna go?" Asks the boy with hurt voice.

Sunset has her eyes closed and her head bowed "... All my life I been serving Evila and their peers, but now, with its congress eradicated, and the new society that you and yours will create, I can finally make my life as I wish."

"And can't I be part of that life?"

Sunset turns to him with a pained expression, but smiling. "... You belong here, your life is here, the mine, else somewhere."

Flash takes the hands of the girl. "I want to go with you!"

Sunset smiles and caresses his cheek. "This people needs you, and the society you will create even more, you must stay."

"... Stay too."

"I wish I could, but is a whole new world for me out there, a world I want to know."

"I will miss you."

"I will miss you too, my beloved gentleman."

Sunset is separated and walks slowly. "Thank you, my beloved, you have shown me the light, and you have delivered me from my bonds, but now, my destiny is to follow my way, and you must follow yours, if you missing me a day, search in the wind, messages I'll leave you from a distance."

"Bravo! Bravo!" Exclaim the teacher applauding. "Excellent! Oh my dear boys, I could not have done better, emotion, drama, everything is great! Come up with the last scene, and we can give the final test as a success!"

Both, Sunset and Flash let out a tired sigh.

"Being a star is not easy." Says the boy.

"You can say it again." Answered the girl. "But you're doing fine, the role of gentleman goes well with you."

The boy does not prevent a blush at the compliment. "Heh, thanks, you... you do well too, I mean, you role"

"Thanks"

"Flash!" Call the teahcer. "Come please we need you for the last scene!"

"Yes I'm going!"

"Good luck gentleman."

"Thanks Sunset, and hey ... I ... when we're done, the whole of the play, we should see us, go somewhere, you know, like friends."

"That would be fine"

They share a smile and he retreats.

Sunset hear the sound of her cell phone ringing in her jacket hung on a nearby chair. Takes the device and see a newly sent message.

-"We will meet in the Dazzlings's department tonight"-

~Silent~

Twilight looks at the unconscious siren in bed.

"... how long she has like that?"

"... days..." respond the young siren. "Barely wakes up for a moment, and then, just back to sleep."

Twilight take the Adagio's hand "... she is... cold..."

"... And her skin starts to tear."

Twilight notes as small pieces of skin in her fingers.

"... I do not think... that she can take much more." Tears threaten the eyes of the young siren.

"... Do not worry, tomorrow, we can repair the charms, I'm sure."

Despite her words, her face makes clear that it is not so sure. Aria either.

After a couple of seconds, both leave the room.

In the linving room meet with the rest of the group and the missing siren.

The plan is explained to the two sirens, they can not understand the reasons, but ignore it, they are not in condition to question, so only nod in agreement.

"Will be the best time to do it." Explains twilight. "Everyone will have their attention there, so we can reach them all."

"And how we get in?" Aria question.

Sunset responds. "As everyone will be watching the work, you can to enter through the back."

Twilight continues her explanation. "Once we use our magic, you must mingle with the people, the magic will go to your charms, and that should fix them."

Sirens once again nods keeping their silence.

Sunset take the word. "The work begins at five o'clock, and lasts about 30 minutes, so you must be in school before 5: 30."

Sonata speaks in a worried tone. "What ... what do we do with Adagio...?"

"If you want I can come and take her on my back," says the farmer. "I'm used to carrying things."

"I'm not a baby."

All are surprised by the voice and tumbled to see Adagio walk to the living room, using the wall for support.

"Adagio!!!" Exclaim Aria and Sonata.

"Don't get up, you're weak!" Aria shouts shocked.

"Shut up... I refuse to show weakness against the Rainbooms."

Sonata's eyes glaze over. "Adagio…"

Adagio cover her mouth when coughing. "... Ugh ... school ... 5: 30, gym ... there something else?"

The princess tries to overcome her surprise and fear to respond. "I... I think not, just, mix with the people there, and-"

"And we hope it works this time, fine." Looks to the princess. "Can you give me back my charm?"

"S-Sure..."

The princess takes the gem and returns it to its owner. She takes and presses it against her chest.

"... I want to ask you something... .. no matter what happens to me, I want you to help Aria and Sonata."

"... Adagio..."

"Please, I know I have no right to ask anything, but..."

Twilight is in silent while watching the face of seriousness and regret the leader siren.

"... I promise."

"... Thank you..."

Adagio falls, luckily Twilight gets catch her.

Adagio is carried her back to bed, and after being all according to the plan, the Rainbooms are removed, leaving the two sirens alone and thoughtful.

"... Aria"

"what?"

"Adagio ... will be fine?"

Aria is silent, she does not know that answer. Sonata expected that.

~Silent~

Comes the next day, classes are suspended, and instead, the whole school works to prepare everything for the afternoon.

decorations are hung in the halls, a banner at the main entrance announces the anniversary of the place.

A poster invites students, teachers and families to participate in the celebration.

In the gym, a scenario is armed and decorated in which will be held the main event.

Vinyl Scratch, with her sunglasses accustomed, prepare her console for play music.

She turns her gaze and see Sunset approach.

"Hi, how is everything?"

Vinyl lifts thumb in approval.

"I wanted to thank you again for your help, it is important for us"

this time there are two thumbs up.

Sunset smiles and removed leaving the DJ continue their work.

Between arrangements, ornaments, serving snacks on tables and other, time passes, people and guests begin to arrive. Music, dance, the day was definitely fun for everyone.

Even Sunset and her friends were allowed a moment to relax and relieve all the accumulated stress in recent days.

4: 00 pm show the clockes, and the drama teacher called his students.

"Well my young stars, we will soon, please prepare and review their dialogues, tonight I'm sure you all shine."

With the call, all players are separated from the rest of the people, are each placed their costumes and prepare mentally.

Sunset, wearing that gold dress, attempts to clarify her thoughts.

"Calm down Sunset" Thinks to herself. "Just follow the work, and when the time comes, you play with the girls, use magic, and we save the Dazzlings, easy ... easy ..."

"Nervous?"

She turns meeting with Flash, bringing that gentleman costume.

"A little, yes..."

"Yeah, me too, I didn't think so many people came, I hope not to forget my lines ..."

"Take it easy, you don't want to look bad in front of Twilight"

"T-Twilight is here...?!"

"I not told you? yes she came to see the play"

"Now I'm really nervous ..."

Sunset lets out a laugh. "Calm down, just acts as in the trials"

Needles mark the 4: 30 when actors meet backstage.

The teacher begins a dramatic and inspiring speech, although most only laughs at his crazy gestures.

Silent laughter when a faint rumble is heard, everyone turns around, see Snips and Snails standing on a ladder, they were apparently fixing the curtains when they lost their balance.

"WATCH OUT!!!"

Is heard screaming when the ladder falls to the actors, all they move immediately to avoid, for bad luck, Flash stumbles and falls to the ground.

"Flash!!" Sunset cries to see how the ladder falls on the boy.

The cry of the boy es heard for everyone.

~Silent~

The Redheart nurse immediately checked the boy, Sunset, her friends, the directors, the drama teacher and the boy's parents anxiously awaiting the result, the nurse wrapped the boy leg with a bandage.

"Luckily it was not a very hard blow, you have some pain, but it is not serious, although it is better not move for a few days."

"What about the play?" worried question.

"I'm sorry but you can not act today, maybe the next week."

"But I have to act in the play !!"

"I doubt you could not even keep standing alone, if you do not want to have a real problem in that leg, it is better to stay seated, I'm sorry."

the boy left speechless, yet manages to thank the nurse, she leaves the room leaving the boy's parents go to see him worried, the nurse gives a gesture of apology to the directors and removed.

Teacher's nerves are evident.

"Nonononononono!whatwewilldo?!!whatwewilldo?!whatwewilldo?!whatwewilldo?!whatwewilldo?!"

"I told you, you had to find substitutes, but you never listen to me." says the Principal Celestia reproachfully.

"The theater is life! And in life there are no substitutes!"

"And because of that now we are without one of the protagonists." responds the Sub Principal Luna.

The teacher begins to have nervous twitches. To anyone who saw it would be afraid, but it clear that Celestia and Luna are already accustomed to man.

"What now sister?"

The principal sighs in resignation. "We'll have to cancel the play"

The seven friends are shocked and terrified at that.

"What are we going to do now?!!" question the exalted athlete.

"Believe you that the Dazzlings can withstand another couple of days?" Applejack question for all.

"I... Idon't think so..." responds Twilight. "Adagio was very bad the last night, actually... maybe she not resist one more day."

"Then we have to make the work today!" Exclaims Rainbow.

"But how? Flashie not can rise."

Sunset is lost in thought, forcing her mind to find a solution.

"This is our last chance..." Thinks for herself. "If we don't do it... then..."

Images of the three sirens, and Adagio, lying in that bed flooding her head.

"We have to do it today! But... without Flash... how?! we need a... substitute..."

One thought comes to her head, a madcap.

"I will do it!!"

All turned over to the cry of the girl.

"... What you do?" Ask de sub principal.

"I will take the role of Flash in the play"

Surprise of everyone not long in coming.

The principal looks at the girl. "But Sunset, if you do the role of Flash, who will make yours?"

"Twilight!!"

"W-What?!! M-Me?"

Sunset flips to her equestrian companion. "You've helped me with my lines, you know them all!"

"Y-Yes but... I..."

"Twilight is our only chance."

Twilight looks at her, look at her friends, fear, and determination of all reflected in the eyes of all. She remembers the promise she had made to Adagio the last night. That's enough to decide.

"Let's do it"

Author's Note

No, this will not end in yuri.

All or Nothing

A quiet village in the distance.

With quiet but firm walk, it can see a young man with hair like burning fire, tied in a thin tail. dressed in an elegant blue and white suit, the sheath of a sword adorning his side.

The young man comes to town, stopping at a corner, look around, and from his pocket pulls out what looks like a handwritten letter.

"You must be Ryan Blake, the firstborn of the Blake family."

He turns toward the voice, being a man, a little dark skin, brown hair, a monocle adorns one of his blue eyes, and a smile on his face.

"That's right," he responds. "And who are you?"

"I'm the Doctor, William Drake, owner of the Drake's Inn and Clinical. It is a great pleasure to meet you at last."

"You was who sent me this letter"

"Indeed, and agradesco in advance for joining us, to my colleagues and me"

"Here it dictates that a social council is formed, what is your purpose?"

"Coming true our most ferviante desire, young Drake, a society, egalitarian"

~Silent~

Applejack lay standing in the backyard of the school, does not expect much before she can see three hooded approach, the farmer meets the sirens and see these hoods are removed.

The leader is the one who takes the floor. "It is ready the matter?

"Um, actually there was a problem and well ... the work just started, so there is still time for us to make use of magic."

"... Great" Adagio cover your mouth when coughing "What we do then?"

"Well, just go in, there we can wait."

The farmer opens the doors of the school, the siren leader coughs again, but enters the building being followed by her sisters.

~Silent~

The day is calm in the village. Two young ladies walk the streets mired in an interesting conversation.

"You've heard the rumors?" Ask young girl with light skin and hair caramel color.

"What rumors?" questions his companion mint-colored hair.

"The city is said that many members of the social elite have gathered in the Drake home."

The conversation is heard by a person in a spice shop, who covers her face under a black hood.

"I had not heard about the matter, what is the reason?"

"Nobody knows, but even the son of Blake is present, it must be something very important."

Both maidens go their way while they talk. That person leaves the store and keeps to his gaze on them. Finally discovers his face revealing a beautiful young woman with silver hair.

~Silent~

A castle lit by moonlight. In one of the long corridors it sees the young woman. Walking back and forth, his face deep in thought.

"Servant, introduce yourself to me!"

There is silence, heard footsteps coming from the shadows of the castle. soon a maiden dressed in a gold suit is presented.

"Y-Yes my Mistress, in what can I serve you?"

"You've probably heard of that meeting in that small town."

"Yes, my Mistress, what about it?"

"I have curious to see what that group is proposed."

"Can I ask the reason for your curiosity?"

~Silent~

The sirens had met with the Rainbooms. all they are separate of the rest public, looking to the stage, where they see Sunset, dressed in male attire, taking a swordfight.

"What nonsense is this?" Adagio's voice makes clear her annoyance.

"It is something the drama teacher, he's ... something weird."

~Silent~

Time passes...

That maiden, now dressed in a gold suit stops in the middle of a field at night. Her face reveals his melancholy.

"Servant"

The girl turns to the voice. that silver-haired woman in front of her and looks seriously appears.

"Inform me"

"Ye-Yes, my Mistress, um ... the council, informed the rulers of neighboring lands, and they have agreed to attend a private meeting next week."

"What dare!! what foolishness!! this advice from dreamers do not realize the mistake they are making !! "

"M-my Mistress let me say something?"

"what do you want?"

"I have been ... thinking, and ... perhaps the idea of forming a new society is not a bad thing."

This wins a poisonous look from the woman. "How dare you say such blasphemy? !!"

"I-I just say ... well ... I been in the meetings, and the fundamentals contributed by the members, are pretty solid, some changes may be very beneficial, not only for commoners, including members of the elite may be benefit, there are many possibilities."

The woman approaches the girl with an expression of annoyance. She intimidated at being close your eyes expecting a strong scolding or similar punishment.

"... I do not expect you to understand" is all he says the woman before departing.

"... What-what?"

"I do not expect you to understand the situation, all your life you served me, and therefore do not understand how fragile this society, there is only one way to keep the world in balance, and that the powerful govern absolutely on the rest."

"... B-but ..."

"Silence! There is only one way to stop this, I'll contact the elite immediately."

The look of the young shows sadness while head down.

"Your last mission in this operation is to entertain the members of this council, not to discover that the elite come to this place."

"But ... my Mistr-"

"that's an order!!"

"... If ... my lady ... as you order."

That was terminates the conversation and the woman disappears into the shadows. The maid is removed with downcast eyes and slowly.

None of they notice how the whole conversation was seen and heard by two maids, a pair of twin hidden nearby.

~Silent~

Adagio keeps his eyes on the play, but gradually his vision is clouded. feel his head spinning.

Sonata note your status and tomael shoulder. "Adagio..."

"I'm fine, just ... just ... I need to sit"

The siren sits on the floor with his back against the wall, his breathing becomes heavy and choppy, look at her trembling hand through his blurred vision note as some skin fragments break off from it. she sees as Sonata takes her hand and kneels beside her watching her with concern, Aria kneeling on the other side and look alike.

"I'm... fine... I'm..."

A severe dry cough prevents him to continue talking, the five students look at three and then exchange glances with each other.

Rainbow looks on stage. "I think it's time to get going"

The others nod and return to see the mermaids.

"You will be fine Adie, we going to heal you" says the party girl trying to keep the good spirits.

The sirens look at te Rainbooms, they give their sincere smiles. The five friends are separated willing to do their job.

~Silent~

The young man sees around him. The gloomy castle. Damaged walls, victims of their bloody struggle.

Using his sword to rest manages to stay on his knees on the floor.

He looks toward her, a beautiful, elegant woman, with evil eyes, glowing with a dark, dark energy.

His mind is broken, and those images soon become reality.

Sunset seen on stage, Trixie front of her, lost in her own role.

Beyond Twilight waiting for the moment to act.

Go to the public, those who had come to enjoy the celebration of the school. everyone's attention is on them.

It is time, she see the darkness of the room silhouettes of her friends, scattered around the place.

Look at Twilight, she nods, both know what to do next.

Vinyl is alert to the stage, pulls out a CD, and stopping the music that gives ambient to the work, plays the song.

The new music draws everyone's attention. Crowd, the drama teacher, the principal and her sister, even the actors behind the scenes.

You're never gonna bring me down
You're never gonna break this part of me
My friends are here to bring me 'round
Not singing just for popularity

The sudden musical act takes everyone by surprise, everyone's amazement only increased when several lights showed the crowd around the other girls who immediately began to play and sing along to Twilight and Sunset.

We're here to let you know
That we won't let it go
Our music is a bomb and it's about to blow

And you can try to fight
But we have got the light of
Friendship on our side!

The magic of all they is active, seeing this Vinyl doing her job and soon colored lights and some smoke beginning to fill the gym.

Got the music in our hearts
We're here to blow this thing apart
And together, we will never
Be afraid of the dark

The magic of all materializes and begins rounding up everyone in the crowd, students and had joined the song, parents and guests overcame their confusion and enjoyed the show.

Here to sing our song out loud
Get you dancing with the crowd
As the music of our friendship
Survives, survives!

Both principal and sub principal to join the dance, and the teacher after seeing all this just shrugs and starts dancing.

The magic in the air mingles with party lights and smoke, but this work your way up the sirens who feel like the energy fills their bodies and trinkets begin to glow brightly.

Got the music in our hearts
We're here to blow this thing apart
And together, we will never
Be afraid of the dark

Here to sing our song out loud
Get you dancing with the crowd
As the music of our friendship
Survives, survives! SURVIVES!!!

A final magical burst completely fills the place, sirens feel surrounded by intense heat and fissures in their charms begin to disappear until the three gems back to its former glory and splendor.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Spot Light finally extinguished, and with the lights out from the DJ all is again dark except for the stage, the girls away from the place before either the note and go where sirens.

Trixie yet is leaving her surprise when Sunset waved her sword to stab her in the stomach and began to whisper.

"Trixie, Trixie."

"Ah? What...?"

"I defeat you. Following the work."

"eh? ... Ah, yes ... ah! Ah ... ugh! I curse you, Ryan Drake, you and your... your... power, maybe you have defeated me... but you... never amount to anything!" She disappears in a cloud of smoke and light.

After that Sunset loose the sword and goes with Twilight. "Come on my love, get out here"

They are placed last in their characters and use them to leave the stage. And out of sight of everyone runs away from the place, without the teacher or principal could stop them.

The teacher panicky rush and put before the public.

"... Um ... ajam! ... After that, our young heroes returned to the village"

~Silent~

Both former equines ran long past the public desperately seeking a sign of her friends, they soon saw Pinkie Pie on exit doors and this made a gesture calling them both ran and found her.

Twilight question panic. "Pinkie, what happened ?!"

"And Dazzlings?" Sunset question.

"Well ... they ..."

The normally cheerful girl looks inside the hall and opens the door to let them both go.

In the place looks all others gathered around Adagio, who lies on the floor leaning against the wall, her face completely pale and his eyes narrowed showed no shine, her body would not move. And what most terrified all, it did not seem to be breathing.

Sonata covered her mouth as several tears fell from her eyes, Aria's face showed fear, a terrible fear.

"... Adagio ... ADAGIO!!!"

...

All is Over. Or...

The school party continues. a night of celebration, students, parents and guests, all enjoy the cheerful night.

But beyond that, no one knows that a group of girls is facing a horrible scene.

Adagio lies motionless, her face so pale, her eyes show no shine, her chest is not moving, not breathing, the leader of the sirens lying inert against all.

Sonata cover her mouth as her tears falling from her eyes. Aria watches her sister in horror, barely manages to find her voice to call.

"Adagio... ADAGIO!!!"

No answer.

Fluttershy can not fight the tears start to fall. ".. No..."

Rarity not retien theirs. "It can't be... no..."

"Adagio reacts!!!" desperately cries the young mermaid. "Reacts dammit!! We... We did not get far for nothing you understand?!!!"

Despite the constant cries, the greater siren remains unreacted. Could almost see the fragments of her skin be carried by the light breeze of the place.

Aria falls to her knees with her body shaking.

Sonata looks at her leader. "Sister..."

The others just remain standing, watching the scene with terror, with grief and sadness indescribable. All the tears had begun to fall and did not stop.

Rainbow loose a scream and starts hitting a locker. "...No... NO NO NO NO!!! This can't be!!! It is impossible ... What we fail... We..."

Sonata tries to silence her sobs, when her lift a little sight through the crack in the door can see the lights of the party inside.

Music, voices of people within, their weeping stop and looks surprised.

"Aria!! Let's sing!!"

The other Siren look at her surprised. "... Wh... What...?"

"Let's sing!! we have our charms, there are people there !! let's sing!!"

"But... Adagio..."

The younger siren approaches and kneels beside the greatest, gently takes her hand and speaks.

"Adagio... we'll sing, ok? Sing together as always. Aria come here"

Aria imitates her sister and takes her other hand of her leader.

Both calmed her breathing and after a deep aspire begin to sing, their voices out harmoniously, as had once been.

Their voices echoing down the hall, the seven friends look at them hopeful.

That song goes to the gym, even with the music of the party, its effect is maintained, and everyone who hears it begins to change his attitude. Soon the joyous festival becomes somewhat aggressive, with people arguing for one reason or another.

Those discussions immediately began to form negative energy, which, impossible to see any eye present, advanced to the hall, straight to the charms of both singers.

Both Aria and Sonata, instantly felt the energy loaded bodies. their hunger declining as its magic feeds.

Open their eyes to see her leader, her older sister, waiting for a reaction from her, but there is not.

Desperation increases and gathered what little strength, they force their song and their voices, forcing their magic to make it react.

Their voices engaged in their singing, their minds recite what their heart wants to say.

"Adagio... sister... please..."

"We can't... we can't do it without you..."

"Please... sing... !!!"

The mind of both come together in that thought.

The charms shine at the same time. Its brightness reaches the jewel of Adagio, it reacts and begins to shine as well. There is a spark in the eyes of Adagio, slowly opens her mouth, and soon, her voice is heard, her singing along to becoming one of her sisters.

Others are baffled by what they see, what they hear, hope returns to their eyes.

The three jewels shine, and soon the negative energy is finished, the song stops, all eyes back on the leader siren.

She remains still for a moment, until her eyes start flashing, finally brightness returns to them and with a deep breath her face takes on a little color, Adagio moves her head slightly and meeting her gaze with her sisters, they looked at her with fear.

Adagio smile. "... I'm fine, ... we are fine..."

Sonata is thrown towards the body of the greater and cries desperately, Adagio rub her back, look at Aria who is still crying too, with her free hand caressing her head, both sirens cry while being comforted by their older sister.

Rainbooms watching the scene, tears and smiles equally.

Tension, fear, finally going, finally it was over.

~Silent~

The party was over, finished the siren magic, everything returned to its point of joy.

Everyone in the school withdraws having enjoyed the evening.

"I must admit Disc O'urt" commented the principal. "You did a great job with the work."

"Um... I actually-"

"A musical number in the climax" mentions the sub principal. "Very arbitration, but very effective. "

"You did very well" ends the principal.

The teacher flashes a few times. "... oh, well... Yes!! You know, is the magic of theater, you never know what will happen."

With that the three adults are removed. The school is empty. Well, almost.

In the backyard, the five students, two equine, and three singers again, are gathered.

"It's..." Aria start. "It's hard for me to say this, but... thanks..." she smile. "Thanks."

Sonata launches hugging Sunset and Twilight. "thank you thank you thank you!!!"

The two equines are surprised but correspond the hug.

The leader siren stands aloof, eyes closed and arms folded. All look to her, but she is not paying attention.

"Hey" says Rainbow. "You can at least thank us we have helped you."

Adagio looks and smiles happily all. "Oh, of course, yes, thank you, thank you Rainbooms, I'm so grateful that you have destroyed our source of magic, not to mention food, thank you, thanks for making us spend weeks of hunger and weakness, thanks for letting us literally on the verge of death, thanks for condemn us to the most horrible of deaths!!!"

With that cry and a strong frown she walks away from the rest.

The looks they receive are several, but not paying attention.

She stops. "And thank you, for saving my sisters."

Barely a whisper, but is hear for everyone.

Sirens younger smile to their leader and follow her, all three are lost sight of all.

The seven friends smile as they see them leave.

Rainbow smiling. "I really hate these harpies"

"Sirens" corrects Pinkie.

"I know what I said"

"We must celebrate, party sleepover at my house !!"

All laugh at the encouragement of her friend pink hair.

"Sunset Shimmer!!"

All turned over to the voice, Trixie approaches them with an annoyed look.

"So, those we have, true?"

"... Eh?"

"Don't pretend! I know what you were trying to do there!"

"... Do... where?"

"You don't forbear the idea of having to share the attention with Trixie, for that reason you sent your group!"

"Ah... what?"

"It was very clever of you, one way to get all the attention, yes, Trixie recognizes your intellect in that regard."

"um... thanks?"

"But this will not end here! If you think you may draw public attention to you, you're wrong, starting today, you're my biggest rival show!"

"… I lost something?"

"You have won this battle but not the war, we will meet again soon."

With that disappears in a cloud of smoke, achieving surprise on Pinkie Pie.

"She disappeared! Ah no, she is there." She is pointing in one direction.

Trixie is hidden behind a tree, but to be discovered runs, but stumbles, but gets up and walks away. The girls decide to ignore what just happened and move on.

~Silent~

The Dazzling, walk through the dark streets without hurry.

Sonata with a big smile gently touching her jewel.

"We have magic, we have magic again! Aria we have magic again!!" exclaims with glee.

"Yes, I know," she responds with annoyance at the childish attitude.

"~We have, magic again~"

"Stop that" Orders the leader of the group.

Both sirens looks at her leader, they know that she is about to say something important.

"... We have our magic and our voices. But that's not all."

Touching her charm, feeling a wave of warmth and energy, while the gem glows with different colors. Aria and Sonata also feel in theirs.

"The Rainbooms don't know, but they got to us more power than we could have dreamed."

Aria asks the question "... Then, what we do now."

Adagio gives a confident smile, "That's pretty obvious, we do that everyone in this pathetic little world, adore us."

~Silent~

~2 weeks later~

A large poster looks in the window of a music store. image shown three girls too familiar, represented by the name "The Dazzlings" and another phrase "new musical album soon"

Within the same store, many young people are carrying items of clothing and accessories with the names and images of the three.

"Seriously?" Rainbow grin question from the entrance to shop.

"Yep, the evil sirens, are now stars of youth music." Sunset responds.

"How not to be?" Pinkie talks with her headphones on. "Their music is sensational!"

All laughing and enter the place, enjoying the good music.

~ ~ ~

"Dear Princess Twilight, I want to tell you about how everything goes around here, I'm pleased to say that the Dazzlings have fully recovered their magic, and their self-esteem, and although I'm not quite sure if that's good or bad, for the moment everything seems to go well.
I like think that every day I learn a little more about friendship, and I hope someday be able to give it to others, in the same way that all you give me to me."

~ ~ ~

Sunset walks calmly at a time sees a music store did not know, decides to go inside to see a little. She notes some guitars, when suddenly a man who seems the shop owner speaks.

"Oh, there you're, you're a little early but that's okay because I'm done"

"... Ah ... excuse me?"

"Come on, it's ready"

without waiting for an answer, and to confusion of the girl, the man takes her arm and leads her to a counter.

"H-hey ...!"

The man takes a guitar, not electric, but classic wood, painted black with small red and gold stripes. The man handing the instrument to the girl.

"Behold, repair it was not easy, but for your luck, I'm a professional"

Sunset can not do more than look the owner in bewilderment.

Neither the girl nor the man realized when someone else entered the room, and walked down the place to stay standing behind Sunset.

"Hey sir, I think you're confus-"

"Hey, what you do with my guitar?"

The voice draws attention of both, the owner and Sunset, the man's eyes open in surprise to see the newcomer and Sunset, she is surprised because the voice behind her, a voice that knows all too well, slowly turns to see... herself...

Both girls... both Sunsets, seen with mutual surprise, becomes silent for a while until the other Sunset speech.

"... And... what you do with my face?"

~Silent Dazzlings~

~End~

Silent Help

Author's Note

I speak Spanish , sorry if my english fails at some point.

Silent Help

Sunset Shimmer´s peaceful sleep was interrupted by a loud knock on his door .

Opening his eyes, he runs his view by his bedside clock showing that it was still early morning hours .

The knock on the door still sound, so the girl, with a whimper is forced to rise.

"Ugh ... who annoyed at this hour?" she asks listlessly to nothing as he gets up and goes to the door.

More Knocks sounds "I´m come, I´m come. Tch some people." with some discomfort opens the door "This better be important because-"

Her sentence is cut to see the person on the other side , despite her unkempt appearance and somewhat pale, no doubt that whoever knocked on his door was this creature from Equestria , one of his enemies, one of the sirens.

There were no words , the former horse could only see his visitor with open eyes , she in turn notes with a look of fear and despair.

before she could even assimilate the situation saw the siren lie on the floor and kneel before her. "Please...! Please help us…! please…!"

And Sunset´s mind, broke...

~Silent~

There is a knock at the door, Sunset respond quickly.

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!! Sunsie!!" Pinkie 's voice resounds in the silence of night.

"Shhhhh! Pinkie my neighbors are sleeping."

"I would like to follow suit." Rainbow said with a frustrated look "I hope you wake up us for good reason Sunset."

"Is a sleepover?!"

"No, come in, the others are already here."

The three girls go to the kitchen where they see the rest of the group, but what catches your attention is the additional person sitting at the table.

Pinkie holds her breath, while Rainbow changes her expression of surprise at one of fury.

[b"]WHAT DOES SHE HERE?!!!"

Rainbow's cry caused the siren cringe in his chair. Applejack watches the siren with suspicion.

"That es a good question."

Rarity approaches Sunset with intrigue.

"honey, we're all here , can you explain what happens?"

They all watch your equine friend waiting for an answer.

"Actually I do not know, she just came and I could not understand what he tried to tell me." she approaches the siren "you... Aria right? You are more quiet? Can you explain what happens?"

"Yeah, you have a lot of guts for coming."

"Rainbow please, let her speak"

The six students observe the former singer, this one was silent look at the table with fear. With eyes tightly shut and body trembling finally speaks.

"... Please... Adagio, she... she..."

Her sentence stops.

"... Um ... something happens to her?" Asks the shy girl of the group.

The response takes a while to get "She´s dying..."

The phrase causes all them frozen in shock.

Rainbow is the first to recover herself a little.

"What... What you mean...?"

"What she´s dying!! She... she…"

The tears of the siren begin to fall. Applejack attempts to clarify the situation.

"wow wow , explain, what happened?"

Aria did not respond, but pulled from her pocket a small cloth bag, poured the contents on the table, were fragments of a red gem.

All the Girls look the fragments, Sunset is one who recognizes what are.

"Is that... your charm?"

"It is our magic, without it, we can not sing, nor... feed us..."

"How? feed? What do you mean?"

"We can not take negative energy, is our food , without it , we will die of hunger, and Adagio..."

The six friends look at each other , Rainbow and Applejack show some doubt, Fluttershy Pinkie and Rarity show be concerned , while Sunset maintains a neutral look. Finally speaks to the siren.

"You can take us up there?"

Aria looked up a little and nods.

Silent

The six friends are guided by the former singer to a departmental building, a few floors above come to one of the departments. Aria opens the door, inside, dimly lit by the light of a lamp, the almost empty room distinguished, only a few furniture made an excuse of decoration. all the eyes target a person lying on the couch, no one had trouble recognizing it , was the siren leader, who kept his eyes closed and arm over her forehead with a tired expression.

"Aria, I told you what you notify me if you're going out." Said the leader siren without open the eyes.

"I... I'm sorry Adagio."

"Where were you so late?"

"... I went ... I went to seek help."

"Mmg , help? what you-?" Her question was not finished as she opened her eyes and noticed the other girls present. That caused suddenly incorporated "Rainbooms?!" Her face expresses pain while head grabs.

Aria to see it runs to help her.

"i'm fine!!" Says as she stands up and looks at the other girls in anger "what doing THEY here?!"

"They... they come to help us."

"Help us?!! How?! Cutting our throat to end our lives at once?"

That comment left the girls terrified, except for Rainbow who was angry.

"No! ... They really come to help us with our charms."

"Yeah, sure. Tell them to go the hell, they have nothing to do here!"

"But Adagio...! We can not last much longer at this, especially you!"

"I told you already I'm fine! We not need help from those six, we can fix this."

"No, we can´t! they have magic, perhaps them to-"

"Her magic was what got us into this in the first place!"

The discussion between the two only served to infuriate Rainbow.

"I've had enough of this , let's go girls , we have nothing to do here."

"But , Rainbow..." Fluttershy looks at her friend worrier.

Sunset takes a few steps to talk to the leader siren.

"um ... Aria told us , that without its charms you..."

Adagio looks at her contemptuously "Yeah, yeah, we can not sing, nor bewitch people, is not what they wanted? Well, they succeeded, and you can go."

"Adagio..." Aria look at her.

Applejack imitates her friend and walks a bit "... she told us, that you can not... eat?"

Adagio turns to see Aria with annoyance, this lowers his head. The Rainbooms take advantage of that moment to look more closely to the leader of the sirens, like Aria looked somewhat pale and sloppy, also denoted very tired.

"Yeah right, without our magic, we can not gather negative energy, without that, we have no food, plain and simple."

Except for Rainbow, the Girls they look with concern.

"Can we do something to help?" Rarity question quickly.

"Of course, you can get out to hell of our department!!"

"Grrrr! I'm sick of you! We came here to try to help and do nothing but attack us!" Rainbow anger was evident in her expression.

"Well we not want your help, much less we need it!!"

"Adagio! Forget your pride, we need help or-!"

"We not need help from anyone!!! Much less of them!! We-!" Her sentence is he stopped by a severe burning in his throat that causes start coughing.

With one hand she leaning on the wall while the other covers her mouth, after several jolts manages to calm down and take her hand, sees that this was covered with blood .

The view of the liquid in her hand frightens to all present.

"Adagio... you did it again right?!"

Looks away "What if I did?"

"Adagio! We told you to stop!"

"... As if I to do so." A severe dizziness almost made her fall.

Help her to stand "You need lie down."

"No way, I not give to the Rainbooms the satisfaction of seeing me as if it were weak."

"Your health is more important than your pride!"

"You shut-"

"PLEASE STOP!!!" The cry of Fluttershy surprised them all.

Silence reigns in the room. Rarity is who break up.

"Adagio, I swear, we had no idea they were in this situation."

"Yeah, well now you know that we have not eaten anything since the battle of the bands."

"You say, YOU have not eaten."

A soft growl and look forwarding are the only answer. The others watching something curious about correcting of Aria.

Pinkie approaches the two sirens and smiles at them.

"Do not worry, we help you."

"Apology? We?"

"Dashie, what we did was wrong, we have to help them." Seriousness in the words of the pink haired surprised all her friends, they had never seen the party girl talk that way.

"That we did wrong ?! What do you say to them?!"

"They have done something wrong, but not mean we should be wrong with them."

Rainbow just turns her back to all.

"You remember when Sunsie was bad? You gave him the opportunity and now is our friend."

"Gr... that... that was different."

"why?"

"... Sunset apologized and changed, she is loyal and trustworthy, I trust that she will not do what she did once. But they!" She flips over and points to the sirens- "I not heard they to apologize! And I do not see that they have changed."

"Rainbow has a point, if we help them, that we have security that they will not try to control the world again?"

The words of the athlete and the farmer make all look to the sirens , waiting for an answer.

Adagio look at them all, and then close her eyes.

"The grumpy is right." Wins the attention of all them"Not even dream I'll apologize, and my ambition has not changed, if I had my magic, you should be sure I would try to control this world."

"You see!! Help they would be a terrible mistake."

"You may be right." Says Applejack.

Before the conversation could be resumed, a soft voice is heard.

"A-Aria, Adagio...?"

They turn around to see all the missing siren look out into the room. However seeing Sunset and the others, remains partially hidden behind the wall.

"Ra-Rainbooms? ... What ... what are they doing here?"

"Sonata" Adagio walks toward her "What are you doing awake? You need to sleep."

"Is that I heard a discussion and..." look at visitors.

"Do not worry about them, they go soon, now back to sleep."

Sonata looks down and realizes blood in the hand of Adagio. "... your hand... you did it again..."

Adagio hides her hand and look elsewhere.

"Why you hurt like this?"

"... You knowest why."

"Adagio...-" She starts to fall.

Adagio manages to catch and kneels down to hold- "Sonata!!"

"Sonata!!" Aria Run toward them.

Tha Rainbooms observe the scene , confused, and scared.

"She´s fine just...! Tired..."

All are surprised to see Adagio out of his pocket a small object, it looks like a pearl.

"Here, eat Sonata."

Sonata looks the pearl "Adagio... you should´t-"

"I have already done so do not complain and eat."

Sonata keeps silent for a moment, then opens her mouth allowing Adagio give the pearl.

The six friends watch curious as Sonata chews that pearl before swallowing.

Adagio stares at the siren in her arms with a countenance of concern, when Sonata falls asleep, presses she against her chest and without raising looks start talking.

"... Rainbooms... please... we need your help."
