Author's Note

Before people start saying stuff about it, I know Sweetie Drops is most commonly known as Bonbon. So don't really get upset about it, I saw this and made it as it is. If you want me to change the name to Bonbon, let me know otherwise, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 12: Round 2

Principal Celestia crossed out Trixie's band with a red marker as she slid Danto's band to the next round. Danto and his friends passed the Rainbooms as they walked to the halls again for them to think of another song.

"Good luck out there." said Danto to Rainbow.

"Pff, I don't need luck. My band has this in the bag."

"Okay," Danto said shrugging and continued walking before turning to Sunset, "Good luck to the band." he whispered as Sunset put a thumbs up for it.

They walked in the halls as they were trying to think of another song.

"What lyrics can you guess think of?"

"I don't know."

They were thinking until Clem remembered the chart, "Hey, what band are we up against in round 2."

"You wanna check?"

"Sure."

They all headed back to see who they're up against in the next round.

"Lyra and Sweetie Drops."

"Never heard of them."

They looked to find the girls that they were about to face. They then found two girls by a grand piano and wondered if that was them.

"Hey. Are you two Lyra and Sweetie Drops?"

One of them turned and said "Who's asking?"

"The Shredders of Light, we're supposed to go up against you 2 in the next round."

"Oh, so you're the band were going to beat."

"Wait, what?"

"We came here to win and you 4 aren't going to stop us."

"Hey we-"

"Look," El said before something might've gotten out of hand, "We're sorry for what we did. How about we play a song together and we'll throw the battle for you 2."

"How will we know you won't double cross us?"

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a muffin in my eye. That means we're not gonna cross you no matter what."

The two girls glared at them thinking. "Okay, we'll believe you. See you at the stage." They said as they walked off.

"El, What was that?"

"Don't worry." El said showing his fingers crossed, "I don't always make promise."

"Thanks man, come on. Let's get setup."

"Wait. What song are we going to play?"

"Do you need to ask?" El said pointing at the piano.

"You mean-"

"Yep, it's time we made our practice song, a stage song."

"Alright, I don't know what you mean after that point. But we get the idea."

Both bands set up as Lyra and Sweetie drops glared at the Shredders of Light when they finished.

"We'll back you two up on the song 'Don't Stop Believing'."

"Alright."

"On 3. 1,2,3." Aldon said as both bands started

Both Lyra and Sweetie Drops were blasted by Danto's chord strum as they continued.

When they finished, Lyra and Sweetie Drops were helping each other as they were filled with anger after the match remembering El promised them.

"The Shredders of Lights win and go on to Round 3.”

“Alright!”

They went back stage as Lyra and Sweetie Drops walked up to the Shredders of Light and was furious with them.

“I thought you said you’d throw the round for us!”

“I said the battle, not the round.” El said in a calm voice.

“Why I outta…” Lyra said bringing her fist back getting ready to swing when Sweetie Drop intervened.

“Don’t do it. We’re already out has it is.”

They walked off into the hallway as Danto and his friends waited to see what will happen in round 3.

“Next up Photo Finish and the Snapshots vs the Dazzlings.” Principal Celestia.

“Let’s get out of here before were the ones who join in on the arguing.”

“Right.” They walked through the doors in the hallways trying to think of another song.
