Crystal Prep Talking and Wicky Ideas

Rarity's group have just gotten off the buss arriving in front of the Crystal Prep Academy right across the street from the bus stop.

"Okay, we're here and now we just need to sneak our way inside and find those Shadowbolts!" Rarity narrowed her eyes of being serious on this infiltration mission as she put on a bandana and sunglasses.

"Yeah, those would definitely make you look unrecognizable." Aria said sarcastically as she rolls her eyes.

"Well, do you got a better idea?" Rarity asked raising an eyebrow at Aria.

"Tohru, can you make us invisible?" Twilight asked.

"Sure, it's one of the most easy spells I learned centuries ago." Tohru bragged and casted the spell turning them invisible as they glow green.

"It did work?" Adagio asked as she can still see herself.

"I can promise you that we are invisible, it just the we can only see each other since I cast the spell on all of us while we won't be seen by everyone else outside of our group." Tohru explained.

"Amazing, some scientists have been trying to do the impossible such as making things invisible but there has been no claim if that has been done." Twilight said waving her hand in front of a student and not reacting to anything.

"I'm pretty sure those government wanted to keep their science projects all top secret." Adagio guessed as they walk toward the school.

"Doesn't matter now, let just go in and talk to the Shadowbolts about why they stole her idea." Flash said reminding them of their mission.

Flash and the girls walk into the front door of the school seeing it's a lot fancier and shiner than Canterlot High almost like they just walk into a building made of crystals, but they didn't come here to admire the handy work of the shiny school.

"Okay, where's the dance studio?" Rarity asked Twilight whispering.

"There's a dance studio?" Twilight confused of that question.

"How do you not know your own school? You used to go here!" Adaigo asked angry but quietly.

"Twilight does go to her classes, but she never done any other activities and gone to anywhere else besides this private room she has and the library." Tohru explained.

Flash and the girls started giving Twilight the "Are you for real" look making the purple smart girl chuckles nervously.

"I guess we'll just have to look around and see if we can find a room that seems to be a music room." Flash suggested even though the search may take a while.

"Wait!" Rarity shushed everyone as she heard a soft upbeat music, and the group started hearing this too.

"Sounds like someone is having a party." Aria commented.

"Or using the music for practice." Flash believed that to be the better case.

"Hey Rarity, didn't we hear that music before?" Tohru asked, feeling like that sound is familiar to her.

"Yes, I believe we did! That's their music." Rarity recognized those rhythms and listen carefully of the music until she found a door slightly open.

"Bingo!" Rarity smirked.

"Well, that wasn't hard to track them down." Aria cracked her knuckles.

"No violence, Aria. We're just going to have a talk with the Shadowbolts, and be sure to keep Tohru in check as well, Twilight." Flash wanted this to be done peacefully and not have to resort to any threats.

"Don't worry, I'll be sure that Tohru is on her best behavior." Twilight said with a hand on her maid's head.

"Yes, I'll behave for you." Tohru smiled giggling.

The invisible group walk towards the room as now it's the rest of them turn to become surprise and amazes of how well the four Shadowbolt girls are doing so well, their dancing is way better and more coordinated their the Rainboom's practice and their finishing poses really hit the nail at the ending of the song.

"Okay, they are good." Adagio admitted.

"Who said that?" Sour Sweet asked surprise though doesn't see anyone here besides her friends.

"Right here." Aria said as Tohru undoes the invisible spell.

"Oh, it's you lots from Canterlot High." Lemon Zest surprised smile.

"At least they know that much despite never meeting them until now." Aria whispered to Adagio who nods.

"We came by to see how good your dancing are." Flash stated one of the reasons.

"So you have. What did you think of our routine? Scared yet?" Sour Sweet asked.

"I wouldn't say scared, but we will admit that your dancing skills are good. Better, as much as I hate to say it." Tohru said clutching her fists.

"Don't you two dare change the subject!" Rarity pointed at both Tohru and Sour Sweet.

"But you didn't bring up a subject." Sugarcoat pointed out.

"You either!" Rarity yelled and then Flash pulls her back from the Shadowbolts.

"Sorry about her. Rarity has just been on edge since you girls took her music video idea and we were hoping that maybe we can talk things out." Flash explained the reason why they are here.

"You're cute. Are you single?" Sugarcoat asked bluntly surprising the blue hair boy.

"Okay, I was not expecting that." Flash said looking at the Sugarcoat who just gave him a wink.

"Believe or not, he's actually in an open relationship that he can have many girlfriends as he wants. I should know because I'm girlfriend number 3." Aria grinned wit her hands on her hips.

"Interesting." Sugarcoat smiled.

"Love chat another time, Sugarcoat because these fools are too late to even stop us." Sour Sweet stated.

"And just what do you mean by that?" Rarity demanded.

"What she means is that we just finished making our video and it's perfect!" Sunny Flare bragged.

"And we're about to submit it." Sour Sweet added with a grin.

"Oh, then it looks like we are too late." Flash shocked.

"Yep, winning is all that matters to us right now and we want to win that music contest!" Lemon Zest excited with her fists in the air.

"Is it because of the prize money because it sounds like you need it for something important." Adagio said, getting a feeling that these girls are hiding something.

"Like we're telling you anything." Sunny Flare turned her head.

"Well, it… huh… It doesn't matter! Because we are still doing our video the way we planned!" Rarity proclaimed, trying to be brave and intimidating.

"Go ahead. But there's just one flaw in your little plan." Sour Sweet mentioned.

"By the time you submit yours, it'll just look like you copied us." Sunny Flare pointed out smirking.

"Except the worse version." Sugarcoat mentioned with a slight grin.

"I'm afraid they're right, Rarity. With those dance moves and the music, they might win the contest." Flash pointed out.

"Glad to know you can be the reasonable one." Sour Sweet commented.

"Well, I can be a shock to myself." Flash snapped his fingers letting out a bit of his lightning out for a show.

"Lightning powers, now you have my attention more than you already have." Sugarcoat smiled as she walks closer to him.

"Wait until Sunset and Lucoa hears about this." Adagio smirked, looking forward to the slight teasing and such.

"Okay, I think it's about time we get going. You all have a nice day!" Flash said as he pushes the other girls to leave the room.

"Hold it right there." Sugarcoat grabbed Flash by the arm and pulls him in for a deep kiss which shocks the girls in the room.

Flash is also shocked of this sudden bold action from this girl that his electric powers gave her a slight shocking sensation that made her flinch in pleasure, she separates herself from Flash who could barely form any words from his mouth right now.

"Here's my number. Better call me soon." Sugarcoat pulled out a small folded piece of paper from between her breasts and place it inside of Flash's pocket.

"You humans always make the boldest moves." Tohru commented.

"You can say that again." Aria grinned, impress with how Sugarcoat was brave enough to pull a stunt like that in front of her.

(Canterlot High, Music Room)

The group came back to Canterlot High with everyone gathering there and explained the situation that Crystal Prep have already made their move faster than expected.

"Oh, this is all my fault! All the money we raised is gone, and now we have no music video! I should never have convinced you all that we could pull this off in so little time!" Rarity blamed herself sadly.

"Trixie believes that is crazy talk." Trixie said.

"She's right. We're great at doing stuff super-fast. I mean, look at Pinkie Pie. She just built that castle made entirely out of chocolate bars while we were talking." Rainbow Dash gestured to Pinkie.

Pinkie just put the finishing touch on the chocolate castle and gave one piece to Sonata as she eats the pieces and hums heavenly of how good this taste.

"Want some?" Pinkie offered another piece to someone else and Lucoa raised her hand for one.

"What I want is a new video concept!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Then just create one yourselves." Sonata suggested.

"She's right, no use in being sad when you still have some imagination in your heads." Lucoa nodded as everyone agrees on this.

"I'm sure if we all put our heads together, we'll come up with something even better than before." Sunset believed.

"Okay, I suppose it's worth a try." Rarity decided to go for it since she got nothing else to lose.

"Great, let's grab a whiteboard and" But Flash's suggestion of an idea session was interrupted when Pinkie Pie started pulling everyone together and pressing their heads together.

"This is too comfortable for me." Aria annoyed.

"Pinkie, you know Sunset didn't literally mean putting our heads together." Flash said to the party loving girl.

"I think she did it because it looks fun." Lucoa guessed.

"Yes on both of your answers!" Pinkie smiled proudly.

"Oh, I think I'm getting an idea! And no, it's not about tacos this time." Sonata said to her two older sisters who were about to ask her.

"Good to know." Aria and Adagio smiled.

"Hold on, I'm getting an idea too!" Applejack informed.

"Oh, let's hear your idea!" Sonata excited.

"Okay, so we're in home-ec class... bakin' some apple fritters! And then, a fresh batch comes outta the oven. And everybody's havin' a great time!" Applejack smiled.

"And everyone is doing square dancing in an old west festival?" Flash asked.

"Yeah, yeah, we can go with that too!" Applejack nodded.

"Wait. So basically, we are eating pastries and doing cowgirl dancing at school in our music video?" Rarity puzzled of Applejack's idea.

"Uh, I guess I'm just kinda hungry." Applejack admitted.

"Okay, so what was your idea gonna be?" Fluttershy asked Sonata.

"Well, I was thinking we could be underwater like mermaids or other humanoid fish creatures swimming all fun and riding the currents until we are suddenly chase by a three headed shark said to be the fish counterpart of Cerberus!" Sonata explained her idea.

"How is being chase by Cerberus good for the music video?" Rarity asked, not liking the Cerberus idea already.

"I saw this cartoon show about those teenage detectives being chase by a monster and the chase becomes funny with the order of who is chasing whom in random!" Sonata giggled.

"Oh, that is funny!" Pinkie complimented.

"Can we add fake blood in the video?" Aria asked smirking.

"Anyone have another idea?" Rarity asked before anyone could answer Aria's question.

"Oh, oh! I do! So... we're in the middle of the jungle. And we're being chased by henchmen who are shooting poison arrows at us! When suddenly, out of nowhere, the shadow of a giant beast appears with a black shiny artifact that looks like an electric guitar!" Rainbow Dash explained her idea.

"Wait a second! Isn't this a scene from the latest Daring Do book?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, yeah. That's why it seemed so cool. Never mind." Rainbow Dash chuckled realizing this.

"But wait, there was no shiny black electric guitar in that book." Twilight pointed out.

"Well, since we're trying to make a music video, I thought about the monster playing the guitar into forcing us to do some… I don't know, maybe breakdancing." Rainbow Dash explained the guitar part.

"I rather not go through that. It'll give me bad memories of an… "incident" I went through." Tohru exclaimed.

"Okay, my turn!" Pinkie announced exciting.

"Very well, go ahead." Rarity sighed.

"We'll start out on... the moon! And we'll be wearing really sparkly costumes. No, wait! We'll be in spacesuits! We're surrounded by gorgonzola cheese! But then, a space doggie walks over and start to eat the cheese!" Pinkie imagined her crazy space idea.

"But why would the space dog eat the cheese?" Tohru puzzled on that part.

"Because the smell would draw in the space dog by the nose feeling the taste would be like…" Pinkie paused for a second and hold up Spike.

"Mmm! Rich with buttery undertones." Spike said.

"Well, I was thinking your video should show how the world would end with the clash of Gods vs Devils that"

"Stop! This will never work!" Rarity yelled.

"But I was just getting to the best." Tohru complained.

"I don't think it would be any good for us." Twilight stated.

"Ladies, Flash, the contest is for dance music videos, and not one of your ideas included dancing at all!" Rarity pointed out upset.

"Well, we did think of the square dancing and the mind-controlled breakdance." Flash said.

"Not to mention the ideas were pretty funny. I like yours, Pinkie." Sonata complimented.

"Thanks, and I like your idea, Rainbow Dash." Pinkie complimented to the rainbow hair girl.

"Thanks, Pinkie." Rainbow Dash smiled.

Suddenly Rarity growls loudly how her own friends are not taking this contest seriously and everyone is shocked of seeing their fashion loving friend in such an emotional state.

"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked concern.

"Okay? No, I am not okay! The contest deadline is tomorrow, and we have just been wasting time!" Rarity yelled before marching right out of the room.

"Maybe we could try having our dragon friends do some flying dance in their dragon forms." Flash suggested, but Rarity just yells from outside which spooks the electric boy.

"It was a good idea, Flash, but maybe we should try giving Rarity some space to clear her head." Lucoa advised.

"Hey guys, I just saw Rarity walking out of the music room looking angry. Did something happen?" Sweetie Belle asked concern for her older sister.

"We were trying to come up with an idea for the music video only none of the ideas seem to please her, and the deadline for the music is tomorrow." Trixie explained.

"Oh boy, that means Rarity will be going to that fast-food diner restaurant to get her favorite ice-cream. She always goes there whenever she's upset." Sweetie Belle mentioned.

"Was there something you wanted from your big sister?" Lucoa asked.

"I was hoping she could teach me those ballet moves she knows; I'm thinking about doing some ballet." Sweetie Belle twirled, but almost tripped.

(With Rarity)

Rarity is at the diner eating her favorite sundae ice-cream while crying with her tears ruining the eye makeup, fearing that they'll never get the prize money to pay for Flash's car and never getting to experience the fun for their music video while also thinking that maybe she has been pushing her ideas onto them a little too much.

"It's no use, Sour Sweet. Why are we even still trying?" Sunny Flare asked worry.

Rarity is caught by the surprise familiar voice and carefully turns her head to see that it's the four Shadowbolts each having their own drinks, and it sounds like they're having trouble with their music video which confuses Rarity.

"Because the deadline hasn't passed. We can still come up with an original song to replace the Sapphire Shores one we've been practicing our choreography with." Sour Sweet hoped.

"That's highly unlikely." Sugarcoat stated.

"Why did we tell Rarity that we already submitted our video?" Lemon Zest asked.

"So that we can still use her concept. Rarity is creative. She'll come up with something else. But if we don't, we have nothing. And imagine what our classmates would say." Sour Sweet said sadden.

Rarity is surprised of how Sour Sweet just said how creative she is, and about their classmates too.

"They'll say it's our fault the spring dance had to be held in the boring old auditorium instead of on a yacht like we promised." Lemon Zest exclaimed sadden as the others are.

"Exactly." Sour Sweet nodded.

"Oh. They just don't want to disappoint their classmates." Rarity realized.

"But the Rainbooms have a band. They'll surely have a killer original song, and we don't." Sugarcoat pointed out.

"Yet." Sour Sweet refused to give up.

"Face it, Sour. We're doomed." Sunny Flare feared.

"Excuse me, girls." Rarity revealed herself to them.

Author's Note

It looked like the gang are losing any ideas of the music video and Rarity isn't very happy as she tries to freeze her sorrow with ice-cream, but it was also in that moment that she found out the truth of the Shadowbolt's intention of the music contest and has come up to them for an idea.
