Chapter 1-New School?

This morning was like any other school morning. Sunset Shimmer was sitting with her friends, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, in the school cafeteria, when suddenly...

"Attention students, please report to the gym at once. We have some exciting news." A female voice was heard over the speaker. It was Principal Celestia's voice speaking into the microphone from her office.

Inside the gym, a lot of talking regarding the news could be heard coming from the bleachers.

"What do you guys think this 'exciting news' Principal Celestia wants to tell us is?" Sunset asked.

"Ah' don't know,but it must be important," Applejack replied.

Before anyone could ask anymore questions, Principal Celestia and Vice principal Luna walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you all for coming. I'm sure you're all very curious what this about," Celestia said. The students all murmured in acknowledgement. Celestia continued, "As a matter of fact, the letter Vice Principal Luna is currently holding, is an invitation to a Battle of the Bands event from a new school located on the outskirts of the city. Our school was invited to attend and compete in the event at the school, but since it is a bit small I have agreed to hold the finals here at CHS," she added.

Many cheers were heard in the bleachers, Sunset and her friends cheering along with everyone else.

"But we were not the only school to be invited to this grand event,” interjected Vice Principal Luna, “Crystal Prep Academy was invited as well."

The cheers quickly died down, and some students even frowned.

"Does that mean we will not only be against the new school, but Crystal Prep too?" Twilight was shocked.

"Oh yeah! I can't wait to beat Crystal Prep in the competition!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly.

"The principals and vice principals of the three schools will be having a meeting regarding the event this afternoon. I do hope everyone will give it their all in the competition and make CHS proud," Celestia finished. The students clapped and cheered.

"Ohh, I can't wait to beat Crystal prep!" Rainbow Dash was excited. “It's gonna be so great!”

"Don't forget Dashie, we have two schools to beat. It's not just Crystal prep this time around," Rarity reminded Rainbow Dash.

"But the question is, just how talented in music is this new school?" wondered Sunset.

"She's right Rainbow, we don't know even one thing about this new school. Not even their name! And they just invited CHS and Crystal prep to compete in this event,” Twilight added.

"Who cares? We're the Rainbooms! We never give up in these types of situations,” exclaimed Rainbow Dash, then after a quick glance at Sunset, “Especially if it's a Battle of the Bands!"

"I agree with Dashie," Fluttershy said softly.

"Me too," Applejack added.

"Me three!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

They then parted ways to their separate classes.
***
It was just like any other day at Crystal Prep. In the Cafeteria, Lemon Zest, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, and Soursweet were sitting beside each other at their table, when suddenly...

"Attention students, please report to the gym immediately," Dean Cadence’s voice echoed through the speakers.

Everyone went inside the gym and sat in the bleachers. Dean Cadance and Principal Cinch walked up onto the stage.

"Now,I know you are all wondering what this is all about," Principal Cinch said. "We have been invited to a musical event, a Battle of the Bands of sorts. Now, I will be honest with you, I have had my concerns about all of this, until I saw that Canterlot high has been invited as well. I know our school doesn't primarily focus on music, but I didn't want CHS to think that we would back down easily, and as a bonus I think we could break that tie we have from the last Friendship Games.” She continued, "Myself, Dean Cadance and the other principals and vice principals are having a meeting about this event later today. So, to conclude this announcement, I sincerely hope you give it your all to win against Canterlot High and that new school.” she added nodding to Dean Cadence.

"You may now all go to your next class." Dean Cadance said.

"Yes! We're going to beat CHS!" Indigo Zap exclaimed.

"Not only CHS, but we also have to beat that new school," Sugarcoat said.

"And?" Indigo Zap asked.

"First of all, we don't know who they are, second, we don't know how talented they are with music," Lemon Zest replied. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"We're the Shadowbolts, we never give up," Sunny Flare said.

"Still, of those in our group, Lemon Zest is the only one who really knows music more than the rest of us," Sugarcoat exclaimed.

“True” everyone murmured.
After their conversation, they left to go to their next class.

"We should go." a female voice said.

"Oh come now Ember, we have all day," a male voice replied.

"But we don't have all afternoon Discord," Ember said.

"That's 'Principal Discord' to you." Discord replied. A wide grin was spread across his face. Ember rolled her eyes.

"Come on, or you're gonna be late to the meeting,” Ember said.

"Hmmph, you're no fun,” Discord pouted.

Chapter 2-The meeting

On the afternoon of the same day that the invitation came, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna arrived at the newly opened school - Mainville High School. There was some small writing written below the name, “Mainville High School ‘Where magic happens'.” Celestia and Luna were both confused at first, but pushed their thoughts aside as they heard another bus stop near the school. Principal Cinch and Dean Cadance stepped out of the bus.
"So, you've been invited as well?" Celestia asked Cinch with a forced smile on her face.
"I wouldn't be here if you weren't been invited," Cinch replied with a cold look in her eyes.
Before they could talk any further, a booming male voice said,
"Welcome everyone to Mainville High. Where magic happens!” Letting out a hearty chuckle Discord walked up to the principals and vice-principals. Beside him was a yellow haired girl wearing a yellowish uniform with a marking that looked like embers blazing on her top left side uniform and an orange skirt bearing the same marking. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Discord, Lord of-" he was hastily cut off with an elbow to the side. The girl beside him gave him a look. Discord cleared his throat, "I mean, Principal/Owner of this fine establishment." After his introduction, he glared at The girl menacingly. She just rolled her eyes and said, “I'm Ember Blaze, Vice principal of the school. It's nice to meet you all."
Celestia quickly glanced at Luna then replied, "It's nice to meet you too,” Celestia continued, “My name is Celestia, Principal of Canterlot High, and this is my sister, Luna," Celestia said.
"I am the Vice principal of CHS," Luna added.

"My name is Abacus Cinch, I'm the principal of Crystal Prep Academy,” then gesturing to Cadence, “And this is Dean Cadance," Cinch introduced.
"Vice principal of CPA,” Cadance added with a smile.
"Lovely, now that the introductions are in place, would you ladies please follow me to the meeting room?" Discord said opening the door for the principals and vice principals. As they all stepped inside, everyone marveled at the inside decor of the school.
"This place is wonderful!" Celestia said in amazement.
"Being a newly opened school does have it's perks," Discord replied.
Soon they made their way towards a door to another room.
"Ladies?" Discord directed the ladies to go inside first. Ember just shook her head and smiled while stepping inside the room and closed the door.
"Now let's get this meeting started!" Discord announced.
"First of all, I'm glad you all accepted our invitation for the Battle of the Bands," Discord said as he took a sip of tea from his cup.
"We appreciate you for inviting us,” Celestia replied.
"Not at all Principal Celestia, in fact I heard so much about you from-” Discord was cut off again by Ember by clearing her throat.
"From what?" Celestia asked confused.
"Well, the papers of course!" Then all of a sudden, Discord took a newspaper from under the table and showed it to the principals and vice principals. They saw what appeared to be a picture from the Friendship Games last year.
"Well, the school papers. I have a friend from CHS who has this,” Discord noticed Celestia and Cinch tense up slightly, “Though, this is the only school paper with the 'incident' of last year," Discord told them. They both relaxed.
The door suddenly opened, and a boy with black hair, wearing all black walked in. On the top left side of his jacket there was a marking that looked like the moonlight sparkling.
"I'm sorry to barge in like this but there's been a problem," the boy said.
"I'll take it from here," Ember said, getting up from her seat. Ember and the boy walked across the hall.
"Who was that?" Luna asked.
"That's Ember's older brother, Moonlight Sparks. He's actually the friend I was talking about earlier," Discord replied.
"Moonlight? I know him," Celestia said.
"You do?" Discord and Luna asked in confusion.
"He's a senior and was the leader of the CHS news club last year,” Celestia said, then pointing to the newspaper, “So that's his school newspaper?”
Discord nodded.
"Oh right, I remember him now,” said Luna, “Since the Friendship games, he hasn't actually been seen inside the school or even anywhere on the school grounds. It's just like he vanished." Luna remarked.
"Well, he didn't vanish. He's here and now he's the leader of a band called 'Nocturnes'," Discord said.
"He's participating in the event along with the rest if his friends.”
"Which brings me to my next point. Who will be your representative for the competitions?" he asked.
"CHS hasn't actually decided yet who will be representing, but I think we will be having a qualifier to decide who will be our representative,” Celestia replied. Discord nodded, then turned to Cinch, “And you?”
“Although Crystal Prep Academy doesn't have many talented musicians, we have complete confidence in our students. The five Shadowbolt friends of Twilight Sparkle will be representing Crystal prep for the competition,” Cinch replied.
Discord choked on his tea, "Wait...Did you say, Twilight Sparkle?" Discord asked.
"Yes, why?" Cinch replied with a raised eyebrow.
"No reason, just curious.” Discord said nonchalantly while drying himself off. “Let's not let my curiosity get the best of this meeting," he replied.
They continued to discuss the Battle of the Bands for oven an hour, when Discord finally announced, "Well I suppose it’s getting late, should we conclude our meeting?" Discord asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well then, I'll see you again at the finals," Discord said goodbye with a smile on his face. As the two buses left the town, Ember and Moonlight stepped out from the school. They saw Discord all alone.
"So what happened?" Ember asked.
"Apparently, everything's going according to plan," Discord grinned.
"Though honestly Moonlight, what was the meaning of you barging in our meeting like that?" Discord asked.
"Well, Quickfade accidentally opened the janitor closet full of mops and brooms, and they all landed on him." Moonlight replied in his calm way.
Discord’s face crinkled up, "Bwahahahaha...oh that’s priceless!" Discord burst into laughter upon hearing about Quickfade's accident. "Is..he...alright?" Discord asked while trying to contain his laughter.
"Other than a few bumps and bruises, he'll be fine," Moonlight replied.
“Well then, I have some news to tell you,” said Discord after finally composing himself.
Ember raised an eyebrow “Really? What is it?”
"Twilight is here,” Discord said, “To tell you the truth I was shocked at first to hear that she is here in this dimension," he said.
"Well, she was here once, after Sunset Shimmer stole Twilight’s crown, the Element of Magic," Moonlight replied.
"Though, I believe the Twilight Sparkle that they're talking about is the one from this world," he said, “she just recently transferred to CHS,” he added
"That explains the glasses," Discord mused.

"We should head back, sundown draws near back home. And I still have my royal duties." Moonlight suggested. Ember nodded in agreement.
"I do too," Ember added.
They all walked around the school building and into a small shack. When they stepped inside they all faced what looked like an ordinary mirror. Ember and Moonlight touched their hands to the mirror. Then, with a sudden flash, the mirror was glowing and spiraling. They all stepped in the mirror one by one. After they had stepped through the mirror's glow, the spiral faded until it completely disappeared, and looked ordinary once more. The shack was now empty.

***
Inside the CHS bus, Celestia and Luna were having a conversation about their meeting.
"I'm kinda worried about Twilight," Celestia said frowning.
"It's going to be okay sister. Sunset and the rest of her friends will always be there for her," Luna replied giving her sister a comforting smile. Celestia smiled back, "You’re right, but I can't shake the feeling that there's something suspicious about Discord. It's almost like he's not telling us the whole truth," Celestia said.
"Let’s not worry about it," Luna said, “I'm sure everything will be fine.”
They rode along, watching the sunset that signaled the beginning of a beautiful night. Promising that there will be another beautiful day tomorrow.

Chapter 3-A qualifier?

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 4-First band practice

It was a usual morning inside Crystal Prep. Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat, and Soursweet were sitting on the same table in the cafeteria.

"So,what are we gonna do?" Indigo Zap asked the girls.

"How should I know? I was shocked as well when Principal Cinch made us to represent CPA in the Battle of the Bands." Sunny Flare replied.

"Well that's wonderful." Soursweet said in her good side. "If she'd expect us to win just like that." She said in her sour side.

"Not only that,Mainville High's representative for the event is called 'Nocturnes'." Sugarcoat said.

"So,what's the problem with that dude?" Lemon Zest asked after she took off her headphones.

"Problem is,I found out that Nocturnes is the most talented band in the city." Sugarcoat replied.Everyone was shocked at the discovery.

"Not only that I even found out that Twilight's new friends in CHS is in a band called the 'Rainbooms'." Sugarcoat added when she put a school newspaper from CHS in the table.They read the paper and was shocked again.But this time,their jaw dropped.There was an awkward silence for the next minute.Then Indigo broke the silence.

"Let me get this straight,Not only were against a talented band in Mainville High,But with CHS as well?!?"

"Yes." Sugarcoat replied

"Were against two talented band and we don't even know where to start on to make a band." Sunny Flare said.Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well that's wonderful!" Soursweet said in a good side. "If we wanna lose before we even started." Soursweet added with her sour side.

"We have to figure out on how to start a band fast.Any ideas?" Indigo asked.They think on how,not until they exchanged glances and stared at Lemon Zest.

"What?" She asked.Until then they started grinning.

"Lemon Zest,How would you like to help us in our little problem here?" Sugarcoat asked.

"Don't tell me you dudes want my help with all the band stuff." She said. "Are you?" She added.Everyone nodded in agreement.She sighed and said. "Fine,I'll help you."

"Awesome!" Indigo shouted.

"We should find a room where we can do with our band stuff." Sunny said.Everyone nodded in agreement.

"How about the music room? I mean nobody usually go there." Lemon Zest replied.

"Wait,we have a music room?" Sunny asked.Lemon nodded in agreement.

"Well what are waiting for let's go." Indigo said.They all walked towards the music room.

Meanwhile in the Principal office,Dean Cadance and Principal Cinch were having a conversation.

"Wait Principal Cinch,your resigning? Cadance was shocked of what Cinch said.

"After the Battle of the Bands,I will be resigning my position as Principal and put you as the next Principal." Cinch said while rubbing her glasses with a cloth.

"Since the Friendship Games,the students of Crystal Prep have been...infected by what they called 'friendship' of CHS.So as the reputation of the school." She added.

"Wow talk about lonely,I think there will be a lot of changes around here when she resigns." Cadance thought to herself. "I would be honoured to be Principal of CPA." She said.

"Excellent,I hope you will not regret my decision." Cinch said.

"You won't be disappointed." Cadance replied with a smile.

Back with the girls,they're inside the music room and started setting up the things they need to start a band.

"Okay,we got the drum kit at the back,where I'll be using." Indigo Zap said.

"I'm on turntables,dude." Lemon Zest said.

"I'll be on electric piano then." Sugarcoat said.

"Me and Soursweet are guitars." Sunny Flare said.Soursweet nodded in agreement.

"Now we got our instruments,find a place to practice and a place to set this all up." Indigo exclaimed.

"The only thing we need now is a song to practice and play on the Battle of the Bands." Sugarcoat said.

Everyone started thinking on what song will they play on the competition.

"I got nothing." Indigo said.

"Me neither." Sugarcoat replied.

"Me too" Sunny said.

"Me three dude." Lemon said.

"This is great." Soursweet said. "We don't even know what song will we play!" She shouted angrily.

Then suddenly, Lemon zest snapped her finger getting everyone's attention.

"I know a song." She said.Then she search her backpack for the song. Everyone was confused at first until she's holding a music disc. She then put it in her small music DVD player. Everyone listened to the song.

[youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PAfawGaBt2E]

When the song ended, Indigo Zap had an idea.

"What if we play that song on the Battle of the Bands?" She asked.

"We might need to practice a lot but I'm in." Sunny replied with a smile.

"Me too." Soursweet replied as well.

"Same here,dude." Lemon replied.

"With no other possibilities,why not?" Sugarcoat replied in agreement.

"Then its settled,we will practice and play this song on the competition." Indigo announced.

"YEAH!!!" Everyone cheered.

As they practice little by little,they're getting the hang of playing their instruments.

After they finished,they heard a grumble near them.

"Umm...who was that?" Sunny asked.Her question was answered when all of grumbled.

"We should find something to eat. I'm starving" Indigo said while her stomach lays another grumbling sound.

"Me too." Sunny said. Everyone nodded at the idea.

"Where should we go?" Soursweet asked.

"Let's try Sugarcube Corner. I heard they have the best food there." Lemon replied. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"We what are we waiting for? Let's go." Indigo said.

"Fine with me." Sugarcoat said.

Then everyone walked out of the school and walked towards Sugarcube Corner.

Chapter 5-Start of the new school

The day has come, Mainhville High school starts the first day of after the opening on the school. Everyone was excited and eager to go in their first class. Except for Moonlight Spark, he's always in his usual mood when he stepped inside the school. He was walking towards his locker right before Quickfade jumped from behind that startled Moonlight.

"What did you do that for?" He asked Quickfade. His question was answered when he turned to him to see the rest of his friends: Lunar Heart, Sunshine, Night Shade, and Shadow Seer. He gave a small smile when he even saw his sister Ember Blaze at the group in her usual happy mood.

Lunar Heart walked towards Moonlight and hugged him. He respond with a hug.

When they let go, Lunar greeted him.

"Good to see you,Sparks." She said with a smile.

"Good to see you too,Lunar." Moonlight replied back with a small smile.

Moonlight walked towards his friends and his sister to greet them.

"What up,Sparks? Sorry for startling you." Quickfade greet him with a high five.

"It's ok,Fade." He replied with a smile and a high five.

"Hi there Moonlight!" Sunshine greeted and hugged him tightly. But he didn't bother.

"Likewise,Sunshine." He replied with a small pat to her head.

"Glad to see you again partner." Night Shade greeted him by tilting his cowboys hat.

"You too partner." Moonlight replied by a nod.

"Shadow..." Moonlight added to greet Shadow, who respond by a nod.

He and Ember smiled at each other.they're greeting comes to an end followed by silence, only hearing the other students. Moonlight is the one who broke the silence.

"So... What you guys up to?" He asked.

"Were about to go to the music room, before Quickfade spotted you and hope to surprise you." Ember replied looking at Quickfade who was smiling sheepishly and rubbing his neck.

"What about you?" Lunar asked Moonlight.

"Well I was going to store some of the stuff I have in the lock, other than that I'm free." He replied.

"When your done, just stop by the music room later at band practice." Quickfade said.

"Sure thing,wouldn't want to miss it." He replied with a smile.

"We should go to our first class guys, we don't have to wait Moonlight cause he doesn't go to school." Night said. Everyone stared at Moonlight after they realized what Night Shade said.

"What?" Moonlight asked.

"You don't go school?" Quickfade asked. Moonlight answered with a nod.

"Then why are you here anyway?" Shadow asked.

"I have a job here as an executive news writer remember?" He replied.

"Ohhhh." Everyone realized after what he said.

"I should go and check on our Principal." Ember said.

After their conversation, they separated ways.

Inside the Principal office, Discord was sharpening pencils and reading the school papers. When a knock on the door got his attention.

"Come in." He said. The door opened to see it was Ember. She walked inside and closed the door.

"Ahh... Ember, how may I help you today?" He asked.

"Well, classes has started and things are going just fine. I'm just checking to see if you've been doing absurd thing again, have you?" She asked with a blank stare.

"What are you talking about? I'm just here sitting while sharpening pencils and reading some school papers Moonlight made just to kill time." He replied.

"Well I hope you can control your urge to use your magic in those dimension. We don't want anyone knowing about this." She said strictly.

"Fine, I'll just use my magic when I needed it, like right now." He replied when he snapped his fingers, glass of chocolate milk just poof out of nowhere. When he drank, the glass was sipped instead of the chocolate milk.

"Don't even try to throw that chocolate milk and make a racket." She warned before Discord was about to throw it away.

"Ohh fine." He said in a pouty face. He snapped his fingers and the chocolate milk disappeared.

"That's better." She said with a smile.

All classes are done, most of the students gone home, some stayed and having conversation. Moonlight walked towards the music room. When he opened the door, he was surprised he was the only one in the room. He was confused at first then something was vibrating in his pocket. He took his phone that was making the vibration. It was a text from Lunar saying they're at the of the school. He ran through the hall to get outside.

"I wonder what's taking him so long?" Quickfade wondered.

"You think he would actually be here fast when he found the message?" Night Shade asked followed by raising his brown at Quickfade.

"How should I know? I'm not psychic." He replied.

Night just rolled his eyes. Just then the door opened revealing Moonlight panting.

"What happened to you?" Shadow asked Moonlight.

"My question is: Why are you all here? I thought were meeting at the music room." Moonlight asked, ignoring shadows question.

"Well, I know for a fact that private areas shouldn't be crossed, but clumsy Quickfade here entered the shack over there that it should be entered by school staff only." Lunar replied. "And he claimed that he saw a mirror there." She added.

This made Moonlight worry, they might know that it's a portal to Equestria. And no one should know except Discord, Ember l, and himself only.

"But it's true." Quickfade protest.

"What are you blabbing about? No one puts a mirror inside an old shack like that one." Night said.

"Yeah, don't be silly Quickfade." Moonlight added.

"I know what I seen, and I'm gonna find out what it is!" Quickfade replied loudly.

Moonlight stared blankly at Quickfade after his last sentence. The mood dropped when Quickfade got scared from Moonlight's stare.

"Look how about this?" Moonlight said. "Let's go find somewhere to eat and just forget about what happened just now, sounds alright with you guys?" He asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I'll message Ember and tell her where we going." He added.

After he send the message, they all walked towards the front of the school.

"Where are we going?" Sunshine asked.

"Trust me, you'll know it when you see it. Come on." Moonlight replied. He took the car keys and unlocked his van. Lunar was riding in front, Moonlight was driving, and the others sat at the back of the van. Moonlight drove the van into the city and to their destination.

Chapter 6-Surprise meet-up

The Rainbooms were on their way to Sugarcube Corner, on their way they were having a conversation.

"Ok girls, after we finish eating we should go back and practice for the 2nd round." Sunset shimmer said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"While were eating, we should think of what song we should play next." Twilight added.

"Right, since Crystal Prep is joining, I'm guessing they will do whatever it takes to win." Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Like turning them into a magical crazed monster just like they did to Twilight? No offense..." Pinkie pie exclaimed.

"None taken." Twilight said with a frown.

"Hey y'all, you seeing what I'm seeing?" Applejack asked when she saw 2 groups near Sugarcube Corner walking towards their direction.

They took a closer look, and Rarity is the one who spoke.

"Is it really them?" Rarity asked.

*~~~*

The group of friends were walking for 5 minutes, they sigh in relief when they saw Sugarcube Corner.

"We may be far but..." Soursweet said. "Why did it take 5 minutes of walking from Crystal Prep to here?" She asked in a sour mood.

"We would be here earlier if someone didn't came back in the music room just to get her soccer ball." Sugarcoat replied followed by a glare towards Indigo Zap, who was kicking her ball upwards.

"You know I can't go without my trusty soccer ball you know." Indigo protested which made Sugarcoat rolled her eyes.

"Come on dudes! Let's not argue when were almost there." Lemon zest said hoping to cool down their temper.

"Wait guys, is that really them?" Sunny Flare asked when she saw 2 groups near the shop. They all look closely then they gasped when they realized who they are.

*~~~*

Inside Moonlight's van, the friends were having a conversation, leaving Moonlight driving the van.

"I still can't believe you have a van just waiting on the parking lot." Lunar Heart said with a smile, who was riding on the front.

"All of us are." Quickfade added which everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well after a long hiatus after High school, I finally have a job that I can do,which the pay I get can actually afford a van. But that changes when when that job ended after my first pay. So now that I have a new job in MHS, I usually drive with my sister. I can use this for joyriding with my friends if I want to." Moonlight chuckled after the last part. Which turned to laughter when everyone started laughing.

They stopped at a shop with a sign saying, 'Sugarcube Corner'. Everyone was confused at first and there was a short silence, only hearing the engine sound of the van.

"Here we are, Sugarcube Corner. One of the finest shop in the city." Moonlight announced when they got out of the van. Moonlight turned off the engine.

"What food can you buy here anyway?" Night Shade asked.straightening his cowboy hat to block the ray of light from the sun.

"As the name suggest, you can buy most sweet foods like milkshakes, pies, cupcakes, and even cakes." Moonlight respond with a smile.

"Hold on, did you say pies?" Night asked again. "Please say yes, please say yes." He thought.

"Yup, any kind of pie, even apple pies." Moonlight replied with a grin knowing that Night shade love to eat pies, especially apple pies.

"It's better than any shop that I go when I'm hungry." Shadow Seer said.

"I like it already." Sunshine said with a huge smile.

"Me too." Quickfade agreed as well.

However, before they got inside Moonlight spotted a group from either side, halting them from entering the shop.

"What is it Sparks?" Lunar asked.

"Hold on, I saw a group on each side." Moonlight replied.

Everyone was confused until they realized what Moonlight was talking about.

*~~~*

"YOU!!!!!" All the groups shouted in unison. After that The shadowbolts and Rainbooms ran near the shop until they were face to face before the finals. A long silence has fall on the groups, until Sunset broke the silence.

"What are you all doing here?" She asked.

"This is CHS territory, no non-CHS students or staff allowed." Rainbow Dash announced boastly.

"This isn't your territory, this is way beyond your ground of your school. In fact it's ours." Indigo protest.

Both of them stared eye to eye. Right before things get handed, Moonlight sighed and suddenly walked towards them and put a hand on their shoulders. They flinched when they felt a hand In there shoulder.

"Hey! You two knock it off, this isn't CHS territory or Crystal Prep territory and it's certain that it's not our territory either." He said furiously shocking everyone mostly his friends. They never heard Moonlight shout furiously, since he's a quiet type of a guy that don't normally shout in anger.

When he saw his friends expression, he calmed himself by inhaling and exhaling, he calmed down and spoked.

"Look, I know you all are very hungry and angry cause were all here, but this doesn't mean that we can't all go inside. We may be from different school, but in here were just a group of friends. Now let's go inside, mind our own business, and after that we can either walk out or at least say something as friends for a change." Moonlight exclaimed. Both Indigo and Rainbow was shocked and they turned glances at each other and apologized.

"Sorry about what happen a little while, we cool?" Dash apologized and raised a hand.

"Sure, and sorry too." Indigo replied. Giving a high five to Rainbow Dash.

"Good, now that the tensions are gone, why don't we go inside and enjoy lunch." Moonlight suggested. Which everyone nodded in agreement.

After they finished with their food, Sunset's group walked towards the table where the Crystal Prep students are sitting. Lunar saw them having a small conversation. Nudging Moonlight with an elbow to get his attention.

"What is it?" He asked. Then he saw Sunset's group at the Crystal Prep student's table, having a conversation.

"You really know how to clear the tension in the air." Lunar said with a wink. Moonlight can only smile at the wink she gave him.

"Anyway, ah' can't believe that from our group, your the one who stopped their arguing and we can't even believe that you, of all people, shouted." Night shade exclaimed reliving the arguing.

"Yea dude, that was so awesome of you." Quickfade complimenting Moonlight.

"I agree with Fade here, that was awesome." Sunshine agreed.

"Hmm..." Shadow nodded in agreement as well.

"To tell you the truth, that's not the first time that I did that." Moonlight replied while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Really?" They all asked in unison, except for Shadow raising his head when he heard what he said.

Moonlight nodded in agreement. Just before they asked him again, He saw the Rainbooms and the Shadowbolts walking towards their table.

"You guys don't mind if we sit next to you, right?" Twilight asked. Which they nodded.

When they all seated, Sunset is the first to speak.

"We have actually some questions for you guys, you don't mind, do you?" She asked.

"Yeah sure, why not?" Moonlight replied with a small smile.

"Ok, first of all, How did you guys got together?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh and uhh... I'm sorry about a little while ago." Dashie apologized while rubbing the back of her neck smiling sheepishly.

"Me too." Indigo apologized as well.

"It's fine just, don't let it happen again. We may be different but inside we're just friends." Moonlight replied with a smile.

"Now about our group, it all started in when our school was just still in construction..."

Chapter 7-The Group we are Today

It all started when our school was still in construction, my sister and I were walking in the park. When she get some ice cream for the two of us, I sit and wait patiently in the bench near where I was standing. That's where I first saw Lunar Hearts, she was sitting on the next bench near me. She smiled at me saw me looking at her. I just sat there and waited for my sister when suddenly, Lunar made her way and sit beside me.

"Hi there, you must be new here. My name's Lunar Hearts and you are?" She introduced herself and asked my name. Which I introduced myself.

"Name's Moonlight Sparks." I said.

"Moonlight Sparks huh?" She said. "Oh wait... Don't tell me your the writer of CHS school papers are you?" She asked. I was shocked of her question but I nodded in agreement.

"You never said you were meeting a girl, I should have bought three instead of two." My sister butted in on our conversation. Both of us blushed a little when she said that statement.

"Do you really have to step in on the wrong time?" I asked her.

"Nope, I just do that to tease you, silly." She replied with a grin. I just shook my head and smile. Then I look at Lunar and apologized.

"Sorry about that." I said while rubbing the back of my neck and smiling sheepishly.

"That's ok, I know how little sister's do." She replied while letting a chuckle. Speaking of little sisters, that's the same time I met Sunshine when she was walking towards the benche me and Lunar were sitting.

"Come on sis, we better go or we're late again." She said as she rushes towards the entrance of the park.

"Well I better go. Nice meeting you Sparks, hope we can meet again." She said with a smile before running to her sister.

I sighed and said to Ember.

"You remember the time when when we were little, you don't want to be late at school every time?" I asked. She smiled and said.

"Yup, and that time that you first learned how to fly, you got overexcited and crashed on a tree." She said giggling. I chuckled a little.

"Yup and it still hurts for the whole month." I replied. She nodded and said.

We should go back and see how's the construction going." She said.

"Ok." I replied. After that we walked our way towards the school before heading home.

The next day was a little different. Ember stayed at home and I walked in the park on the same time me, Lunar, and Sunshine met. But this time, it's not just. When I was waiting on them, I saw them with Quickfade, Shadow, and Night, who appeared to be a cowboy, I'm guessing that he was from Appleoosa.

"Hey Sparks great timing. I have some people I'd like you to meet." Lunar said with a small smile.

"This is my sister, Sunshine." She introduced.

"Nice to meet you sir." Sunshine greeted with a smile

"Nice to meet you too." I greeted back with a smile of my own.

"This is Quickfade, he's very athletic but a little bit clumsy." She introduced Quickfade.

"Sup, dude." He greeted.

"Sup." I greeted.

"This here is Shadow Seer, he not the most talkative kind of guy but he's very skilled using an instrument." She introduced Shadow. He didn't say anything but nodded in greeting me. I nodded in greeting him as well.

"And this here is Night Shade, his actually a cowboy from Appleoosa." She introduced Night.

'Nailed it'. My thoughts were correct, he was actually from Appleoosa.

"Nice to meet ya'h, partner. Pleasure being your acquaintance." He said when he put his hands on front waiting to a hand shake.

"Likewise." I said before grabbing his hand for a hand shake. After the hand shake, he tilted his stetson downwards before straightening it.

"Where's your sister by the way? I wanted her to meet the rest of the group." She asked.

"She back at home. She's kinda not in the mood for a walk in the park." I replied with a small smile. She smiled back.

"Well, do you have plans today?" She asked. I shook my head.

"I was wondering if you want to hang out with us for a little while." She said.

"Sure, I have no plans for today." I replied.

"Great, now come on. We're about to go to the movies." She said when they walked towards the entrance. I followed them.

'This is a very interesting group, maybe I should befriend them to learn more about this world and what they do.' I thought when I was following them.

It was almost sunset, I parted ways with the group to go back home.

"I'm back." I said when I heard water dripping inside the kitchen, there I saw Ember walking out of the kitchen.

"You're taking your time." She said with a wink. I was confused at first then I realized what she was talking about.

"Oh no no no no... You've got it all wrong." I panickly replied the misunderstanding.

"I was just kidding." She said then she giggled. I rolled my eyes and said.

"It's almost night time, time to do some work. Be right back." I said before leaving the house.

All of us did everything together. Ember met the group, we watched movies together, sometimes having slumber parties, play music like a band. We even called ourselves the 'Nocturnes'. That's when we were known as the most talented band in the city. Everything was going great. Until Lunar and Sunshine's parents transferred to Manehattan. Night Shade's having a family reunion back in Appleoosa. Quickfade's parent are on vacation with Quickfade joining them. And Shadow disappeared leaving a note saying he has something g important to do. I didn't take strolls on the park and mostly stayed indoor and sometimes help in the school decorating.

We never saw each other ever since that day. Until today that is. I was surprise to see the whole group back together in the same school. And everything was going great again until this moment.

*~~~*

"Well that's our history together right guys?" Moonlight asked which everyone nodded.

"Wow, so you guys have been friends for a long time." Fluttershy said softly.

"That's right." Quickfade replied.

"Ah' can't believe that another cowboy from Appleoosa is here. Nice to meet ya'." Applejack said and greeted Night Shade.

"Likewise." He said.

When they were all getting to know each other, Ember Blaze entered the shop and was surprised to see both CHS and Crystal Prep in the same table with her group.

"Hey guys, what did I miss?" She greeted to the others. Getting a lot of hi's.

"Nothing much, but I want you guys to meet my sister, Ember Blaze." Moonlight announced.

"Hello there, darling. My names Rarity." Rarity introduced herself.

"Ah'm Applejack." AJ introduced herself as well.

"The name's Rainbow Dash." RD introduced herself.

"I'm Fluttershy. It's nice to meet you." Fluttershy softly introduced herself.

"My name's Twilight Sparkle." Twilight introduced herself as well.

"And I'm Sunset Shimmer." Sunset introduced herself.

"My name's Indigo Zap." Indigo said.

"Mine's Sugarcoat." Sugarcoat said.

"My name's Lemon Zest, dude." Lemon said.

"I'm Sunny Flare." She said.

"And I'm Soursweet nice to meet you." Soursweet said in her sweet voice. "Not really." She added in a sour voice.

"It's nice to meet you all too." She said.

When they were talking, Sunset felt a strange feeling that she lost before she had the necklace. She felt two kinds of magic from Moonlight and Ember. From Ember, she felt light and harmony. While from Moonlight, she felt chaos and disharmony with a little bit of light inside him. This discovery made Sunset suspicious.

"Twilight, we need to talk." Sunset whispered in the ear of Twilight.

"Sure." She agreed.

"Can you give me and Twilight a sec?" She asked which they nodded. Sunset and Twilight both stepped out of the shop and Sunset first spoke.

"We have a problem." She said. Twilight was confused of what she said.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I mean, there's something strange about them. Like I have a feeling that they don't really belong to this world." She replied.

"To tell you truth, from the moment we all met. I can feel a strange kind of magic inside Moonlight. Something chaotic inside him." Twilight said.

"I know, and her sister Ember has magic full of light and harmony." Sunset added. Which Twilight nodded in agreement.

"We should tell the others about this." Twilight suggested.

"No, not yet. We have to get some kind of proof that they really are from Equestria." Sunset shook her head and said.

"I think we should tell Princess Twilight about this first. She may know about this." Sunset added which Twilight nodded in agreement.

"Good idea, maybe we should go to their school and find out more about it. Just like I once did before you spotted me and trying to talk to me for the first time." Twilight said with a giggle. Which made Sunset giggled as well.

"If my hunch is correct, and if they're from Equestria. We should find their portal." Sunset suggested which Twilight nodded in agreement.

After their conversation. They walked back inside and returned to the group.

"What you guys been talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Nothing personal." Sunset said.

Lunch is almost over, the group parted ways back to their school.

*~~~*

Once the group reach CHS, Sunset and Twilight stopped in the stairs of the entrance.

"You guys coming or what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We'll catch up." Sunset replied. Rainbow Dash giving a thumbs up and walk back inside.

Sunset opened her bag and took out the book that she use to send messages to Princess Twilight.

Dear Twilight,

Today we met a group of friends that were attending on the new school. But your counterpart Twilight and I felt equestrian magic in these two siblings. Let me know if you know the name Moonlight Sparks and Ember Blaze. There's something suspicious about those two.

Your Friend,

Sunset Shimmer.

"Done." Sunset said after writing the message.

"Let's go back to the others and practice later for the second round tomorrow." She added. Which Twilight nodded.

*~~~*

"Well that proves Sugarcoat's words. They really are the talented band." Lemon Zest.

"Still, let's do our best to win in the competition." Indigo said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"After class, we should meet up in the music room to practice some more." Sugarcoat suggested.

"Sure." Sunny Flare agreed.

"Alright." Soursweet agreed as well.

They all parted ways towards their class.

*~~~*

Inside Moonlight's van, the friends were all having a fun. While Moonlight was driving and Lunar was reading a book, Sunshine and Ember having a conversation. So as Night Shade and Quickfade. While Shadow was in his lonesome reading what appeared to be a comic book.

"Hey guys, what if this weekend we send them a letter to meet us in our school and maybe do a little Battle of the Bands for fun?" Moonlight asked.

"Sure, that's a start to get to know them better." Lunar replied after closing her book.

"Ah' don't mind, Ah' just have to do some errands before I could go though, How about we meet at noon?" Night asked.

"Sure." Moonlight replied.

"I think that's a great idea bro." Ember agreed.

"I think so too." Sunshine agreed with a small smile.

"I'm in." Quickfade agreed as well

"Same here." Shadow agreed after he closed his comic book.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll send them a letter and put them inside their music room." Moonlight said. Which everyone nodded.

After their quick ride back to school, they parted ways towards their classes while Ember and Moonlight headed towards Principals office. Ember knocked and they heard rumbling sounds inside before Discord opened the door. Both of them was shocked at what they saw.

"Well, what do you think?" Discord said with huge grin in his face.

"What in Celestia's name did you do?" Ember shouted. They saw gingerbread shelves with books made of gingerbread. His table is made of gingerbread as well. Pens and pencils turned into lollipops and candy canes. The whole room was in chaos. Then suddenly, it all returned to normal. Discord was shocked that his creations returned back to normal.

"What happened?" He asked puzzled at what happened. Then he saw Moonlight smiling.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked.

"Looks like your not the only one who can use magic around here." Moonlight replied with a grin. He snapped his fingers and a cup of chocolate milk appeared floating. He grabbed the cup and drank the chocolate milk. Then he snapped his fingers again to find the empty cup gone. This shocked Discord and Ember.

"How did you do that?" Discord asked in disbelief.

"Simple, I just snap my fingers and..." He replied by snapping his fi gets again and this time, a ball appeared on his other hand.

"There you go." He added. Discord was still shocked.

"Wait, if you two can use magic. Why can't I?" Ember asked still confused. Then suddenly the ball was covered in an orange aura then levitated in her hands. She was shocked at what happened.

"Problem solved." Moonlight said with a smile.

"But now that we know we can use our magic. We should keep them to ourselves. Don't draw any attention, I'm watching you Discord." Moonlight added.

"Fine. I won't do magic in public. Althought, I could use my magic as a magician. That way they'll think it's just a couple of party tricks." Discord protested. Getting stares from both Moonlight and Ember.

"Fine, I won't use it on public." He said in defeat.

"Good." Both of them said in unison.

"I'll see you guys later. I have some papers to write and a journal to read." Moonlight said before leaving Ember and Discord.

"I'll see you later Discord, don't wreck the office while I'm gone, okay?" Ember said. She left Discord in his office.

"Fine, fine. I'll just do this paperwork I guess and go back." He said with a frown. He sighed and started on the paperwork.

Chapter 8-Pinkie's Slumber Party

After their accident meet up in Sugarcube Corner, the Rainbooms were practicing for the second round. When they were done, Sunset was the first to say.

"Girls, I'm a bit worried." She said with a worry face.

"What's wrong, dear?" Rarity asked.

""Are you worried about the competition?" Fluttershy said.

"You kidding? Sunset's never worried about the competition." Rainbow Dash complimented, trying to cheer Sunset up who gave her a weak smile.

"It's not that, there's something suspicious about that group. Especially the two siblings." Sunset replied.

"Are you worried that they might be evil like those siren who tried hypnotizing the school with their singing, that they might be from Equestria. Is that the reason why your worried?" Pinkie Pie spatted out in one breath. They were shocked at what Pinkie said. Sunset was the first from the shock.

"How did you know?" She asked.

"Just a hunch." Pinkie replied with a huge grin.

"Of course." Sunset said while rolling her eyes.

"Wait, so your meaning to tell me, that Moonlight and Ember might be from Equestria?" Applejack asked in confusion. Sunset nodded.

"How do you even know?" Rarity asked.

"Wait a minute, so you didn't feel their magic?" She asked. Everyone except for Twilight, shook their heads.

"That's weird, if you guys didn't feel them. Then why is that Twilight and I felt them?" She asked again.

"No clue." Rainbow Dash replied.

"They must have put a spell so that no magical creatures can feel their magic, but then again why did we feel them?" Sunset said.

"Ah' have no idea, but ah' guess we should figure that out after the second round." Applejack suggested.

"Your right. We already have our hands full in the competition, we should at least focus on making the final. After that we'll try and find out more about them." Rarity agreed. Which everyone nodded in agreement as well.

As they were about to part ways.

"EVERYBODY WAIT!!" Pinkie shouted. Getting their attention.

"What is it Pinkie?" Twilight asked. They grouped back at the statue.

"I think we should have another slumber party at my house just like last time. Except Twilight here is our new member.

"Oh right. Princess Twilight is the one who knows where Pinkie live." Sunset realized.

"Sure, I don't mind." Twilight agreed. Then she was in Pinkie's bone crushing hug.

"This is gonna be so much fun!!" She screamed excitedly before letting go of Twilight.

*~~~*

The Rainbooms were having a slumber party again at Pinkie's house. Rainbow and Applejack are playing on Pinkie's video game. Sunset, Fluttershy, and Rarity took pictures of them. Rarity was shock and furious at Spike, who she spotted in the picture behind them eating some dog treats. Pinkie was using her laptop to go to her social media. Twilight however, was nowhere to be found in the room. Sunset noticed this and asked.

"Hey you guys know where Twilight is?"

"I think she's in the living room doing something." Pinkie replied. Sunset walked out of the room and headed downstairs. There she saw Twilight, who was doing something important.

"Hey Twilight." Sunset greeted.

"Oh, Sunset. Hi." She replied and greeted. Sunset walked near Twilight and sat down next to her.

"What are you doing?" Sunset asked. She spotted the device Twilight onced used in the Friendship Games to store their powers and turned into Midnight Sparkle.

"Since were going to look for their portal, I made a device that will easily track any kind of magic." Twilight replied.

"I took some parts from the necklace and combined them from the tracker I used when I was inspecting the portal once." She added.

When she was done, she turned on the device and it worked perfectly. It was now tracking the magic of her friends.

"Now all I need to do is to change the settings to track the magic of the portal and were ready." Twilight said with a smile.

The doorbell rang and Pinkie rushed towards the front door, when she opened she saw a guy who is believe to be the pizza delivery boy. He handed the pizza to Pinkie and she paid him for the pizza. She closed the door ran towards the kitchen counter and opened the pizza. She then walked towards the living room where Sunset and Twilight is and said.

"Pizza's here guys. Help yourselves." She said with a smile and ran upstairs towards her room and said.

"pizza's here." She said. Then everyone inside her room ran downstairs and towards the kitchen counter and took a slice of pizza. After their enjoyable dinner, they walked back upstairs and started getting ready to call it a night.

When everyone were asleep, Twilight was still awake and carefully tiptoed out of the room without waking everyone else.

She was at the kitchen counter, with the small lightbulb as her only light source. She was adding the final touches on her magic tracking device.

"Hey Twi." Twilight jumped when she heard Sunset, who was leaning her shoulder on the wall. "Your up late." She added with a small smile.

"Just adding some finishing touches on the magic tracker. Then all we have to do is get in the school. But how?" She replied then asked Sunset who was now leaning on refrigerator, holding a can of whipped cream.

"That's a question that I don't have an answer." Sunset replied while spraying a thumb full of whipped cream.

"Where did you get that can of whipped cream?" Twilight asked in confusion. Sunset let out a small smile and said.

"The refrigerator's full of it." Sunset replied. Then she opened the refrigerator and Twilight's jaw dropped when she saw it was full of cans of whipped cream. She closed her mouth before she opened them and said.

"Who could possibly need that much whipped cream?" She asked, still in disbelief.

"That's what I asked once." Sunset said before letting out a small giggle. Twilight let out a small smile and giggled as well.

After their small conversation, Sunset let out a small yawn and said.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow Twi. Good luck on getting that ready." She said before letting out another yawn and walked back to her bed.

Twilight stayed at the counter, looking at the device before she let out a yawn of her own and walked out of the room and returned to her bed. The stars were shining brightly that night as the friends slept on the rest of the night.

Chapter 9: Change of Music...

After school, the Shadowbolts meet up inside the music room of Crystal Prep as they began their practice for the Battle of the Bands. Indigo Zap has a worried look on her face and didn't come unnoticed.

"What's wrong, Zap?" Lemon Zest asked.

"We need to think of another song." Indigo Zap said.

"What do you mean? Our song of choice was good." Sunny Flare asked.

"Because, someone just used our song." Indigo answered.

"What!?" The girls except for Sugarcoat asked in shock as they look at her.

"She's right. Some band from CHS used our song for their qualifier." Sugarcoat said flatly.

"What are we supposed to do now? That's the only song we were practicing this whole time." Indigo asked them.

"Oh, great." Soursweet said sarcastically. "Now we have to look for another song." She added with a sour tone.

They were brainstorming for ideas. Then Lemon Zest came up with an idea of a song.

Lemon Zest turned on her laptop and found the song she was looking for.

Lost in your mind, I wanna know

Am I losing my mind, never let me go

If this night is not forever, atleast we are together

I know I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone

Anywhere whenever, apart but still together

I know I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone

[music]

I know I'm not alone

[music]

I know I'm not alone

Unconscious mind, I'm wide awake

Wanna feel one last time, take my pain away

[music]

If this night is not forever, at least we are together

I know I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone

Anywhere whenever, apart but still together

I know I'm not alone, I know im not alone

[music]

I know I'm not alone

[music]

I know I'm not alone

[music]

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone, no I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone, no I'm not alone

They were amazed by the music as they turned to Lemon, who was grinning at them.

"That was amazing. It was even better than the last time." Sunny Flare said.

"That...was awesome." Indigo said excitedly.

"Cool." Soursweet exclaimed, but cleared her throat. "I mean, it's nice." He said flatly.

"Judging from just been released, this could be a perfect song to use." Sugarcoat stated.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's practice right away. I'll be the DJ." Lemon Zest said as she goes behind the DJ table.

"You know, I'm not really used on being the drummer. I'm kinda good with a guitar actually." Indigo said.

"Fine, I'll be the drummer." Soursweet said. "I'm not really good with a guitar as well to be honest." She added.

Soursweet manned the drums as Indigo and Sunny flare picked up their guitars while Sugarcoat walk behind the electric piano and they started practicing.

As they were done, they packed their things and walk out of the room and towards the exit. As they left the building.

"We sound awesome!" Indigo Zap boasted as they walk out.

"Totally, we should do this more often." Lemon Zest suggested.

"But first, we should focus on winning the battle of the bands." Sugarcoat reminded them.

"I don't mind playing with you guys more often, it kinda felt good." Sunny Flare said calmly.

"Me too." Indigo agreed.

"Me three." Sugarcoat agreed as well.

"Me four." They looked at Soursweet. "What? Is it bad?" She asked in confusion.

Then the group burst into laughter as they smiled at each other.

"Well, we should all go home." Sugarcoat suggested, which everyone nodded in agreement.

They waved goodbye as the went home for the day. Unknown to them, Principal Cinch was listening until they left the building.

'This wouldn't be so bad, after all. Crystal Prep will surely win this.' She thought as a grin appeared on her face as she left.
