      Meanwhile, Sonata was trying to keep up with Cadenza on the rhythm. She was struggling so hard that she grew frustrated.

     "Relax, Nata," said Cadenza as she looked into Sonata's eyes, "I know you can find your rhythm. Now try again and try to relax this time." She started to clap in the very slow beat. "Also try to clap with me."

     "Okay," said Sonata as she raised her hands up and was ready to clap.

     Cadenza started off the beat. "Five, six, seven, eight and..." They worked together to find the rhythm, which was hard for Sonata to do. Cadenza had confidence in her and she was getting prouder and prouder as Sonata was about able to find her rhythm. As Sonata finally found it, she was impressed. "Yay!!! You finally found it!" Cadenza said as she hugged Sonata happily, "Now to find your voice!"

     In the music room, Cadenza and Sonata searched for interesting easy songs for Sonata to try to sing. Cadenza asked Rarity to play an accompaniment on the piano for that purpose. Sonata suddenly felt nervous, thinking that she might sing way off-key.

     "If a sound way off-key, it's okay," assured Cadenza. Sonata trusted her as she was clearing her throat. Cadenza gave Rarity a cue, and Rarity started to play the intro of the simple song. Sonata began trying to sing like she used to, but her voice was definitely off-key, also a little squeaky and cracky. Cadenza and Rarity covered their ears over Sonata's bad singing. "Uh...let's go on with the basic lesson," Cadenza said to Sonata, "I'll help you with that." Then she touched Sonata's shoulders. "Try to do your best singing from your heart and your mind. We'll always be proud of you no matter what."

     Sonata's tears started to flood her eyes. "N-No one told me that before," she said, sounding flat, "Thanks." Her tears started to run down her cheeks as she hugged Cadenza. "Thank you so much!"

     "You're welcome," said Cadenza as she hugged Sonata back, "I do all what I can do to help." Then she smiled. She gathered the rest of her friends to hear Sonata sing. "Okay, Nata, show us what you got!" Then Rarity started playing the intro on the piano. Sonata felt a little nervous at first. But when she looked at Cadenza, she then felt better and started trying to sing from her heart and her mind, like Cadenza said. Her voice got improved almost instantly, and filled up the whole room. Cadenza decided to join her as they began singing together.

     Before they knew it, their individual glows were glowing around them. Cadenza's was pinkish purple and Sonata's was sky/sea blue. The humane seven were awestruck as they saw Cadenza and Sonata being ponied up while the two were still singing. Cadenza and Sonata's siren wings appeared and they began floating a couple of feet up from the floor. As they were done singing, the seven friends applauded and cheered.

     "Interesting," said Sunset, "I've seen Nata pony up before but I haven't seen you do that too!"

     "Really?" asked Cadenza.

     "Yeah," said Pinkie, "I mean we just met you not too long ago! Well and Nata too."

     Cadenza smiled, came to Applejack and said, "Looks like you're not the only honest person anymore." Then she winked.

     "Apparently," said Applejack as she smiled too.

     Sonata felt completely different compared to her past self. She then knew what it's like to be good instead of evil, so she decided to become a good siren like Cadenza, for the rest of her life.

     The next day, she became a friend to every student of Canterlot High. She still loves Taco Tuesday though, and recently knew that Cadenza loves Fajita Friday. Of course they have different point of views, but that doesn't mean they can't be together.

     On Tuesday in the cafeteria, Sonata offered Cadenza a taco. "You've got to try this taco!" she said, "It's amazing!" Cadenza took a piece of it and tried it. She found some interesting seasonings and the deliciousness of the sauce.

     "It's SO good!" she said, "I mean I've got to have one sometime!"

     On Friday, she offered Sonata a fajita. "You've got to try this fajita!" she said, "It's just as good as a taco!"

     Sonata took a piece of it and tried it. She found some similar ingredients that were added to a taco. "It's really good!" she said, "I've got to have one sometime!"

     Cadenza and Sonata did almost everything together as if they were sisters. Speaking of sisters, Sonata soon thought about becoming Cadenza's sister. Cadenza didn't see that one coming, but thought that it would be nice to have a sister of her own.

     Not to long after, Cadenza adopted Sonata as a sister. They were both happy to be with each other. Sonata found a better life to take since she's got someone who can care more than Adagio and Aria.

     A week after, Cadenza and Sonata told the seven friends that they're now sisters. The seven friends were very excited for them.

     "Cadenza, are you older or younger than Sonata?" asked Sci-Twi.

     "Older by 2,000 years," said Cadenza, "I'm 18,000, Nata's 16,000."

     "We're the long living sirens," said Sonata with a smile.

     Sunset smiled, but the rest of the friends were totally shocked and confused.

     "Did you guys drink the youth water from the Fountain of Youth?" asked Pinkie.

     "I don't think so," said Cadenza, "Sirens can live over thousands of years."

     "What?!?" exclaimed Rainbow, "If you're not born as a siren, you two would already be dead by now! No person can live that long!"

     "Can't we just pretend Cadenza's 18 and Sonata's 16, without the thousand part?" Applejack asked suggestively, "That way all of us includin' the others don't freak out? They ain't gonna supposed ta know this!"

     "I don't see why not," said Fluttershy.

     "Yeah, that would make a lot more sense," agreed Rainbow.

     "Okay let's talk about something else," said Sunset.

     "Alrighty," said Rainbow.

     The humane seven, Cadenza and Sonata continued talking to each other like other friends do.
