Pinkie Pie bounced around her house, making sure everything was in its place for the party. As she checked off everything on her list, Vinyl entered the room.

"Is everything ready on the music front?" Pinkie asked her, to which Vinyl responded with a thumbs up and a smile. "Perfect! We have the food, decorations, drinks, candy, cake, cupcakes, and let's not forget the balloons!" she yelled as she released several balloons that appeared in her hands. Vinyl only smiled at her friends cheerful nature.

Pinkie was always known for making new friends, but outside of the Rainbooms and Sonata, she didn't really hang out with many of them. Recently though, she had been spending more time with Vinyl, the DJ of the school. They had known each other for years, but never really spent time with each other, until Pinkie needed her to amp up the music at her parties.

Pinkie was blowing up some balloons when a knock came at the door. She quickly rushed over to it and opened it, finding Applejack and Rarity on the other side. "Hi guys! Welcome to the party!" the pink girl squealed with delight.

"Howdy Pinkie, are we the first ones here?" AJ asked her.

"Yep, now come on in and make yourselves comfortable," Pinkie responded to her, letting them both inside. Both of the girls waved to Vinyl, who kindly waved back.

Rarity walked over to the drink table, while there she noticed someone sitting off to the side of the room. "Octavia? I'm surprised to see you here darling," she said, walking over to her.

The cellist looked up from her seat and smiled at Rarity. "I'm only here because Vinyl needed a ride, her car is currently unusable, which means I have to drive her around."

"Oh, well at least this time if there's a discussion about why tea is better than coffee, I'll have you here to back me up," Rarity joked with her.

Octavia smiled and took a sip of her drink. "Indeed."

Pinkie wasn't the only girl that was being chummy with another musician, Rarity had started to spend time with Octavia. Rarity liked being around her, since she enjoyed her more refined lifestyle. When Applejack was busy doing work on the farm, Rarity would sometimes go get tea with Octavia, and sometimes listen to her cello playing. Of course AJ knew about this.

Another knock came at the door, and Pinkie once again rushed over to open it. On the other side was Twilight, the reason for the party.

"Welcome Twilight, to your very own super duper awesome welcome to the Rainbooms joining party!" Pinkie said, throwing confetti in the air.

"Thank you Pinkie," she said with a smile as Pinkie pulled her inside the house. "Hi everyone." she said a little shyly.

"Howdy Twilight," AJ responded to her.

Twilight looked around the room at the familiar faces, until she looked at Octavia. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you?"

"Oh I'm sorry, we haven't met yet. My names Octavia," she said as she extended her hand, "lead cellist at CHS. And the girl standing over there is Vinyl, the DJ of CHS." After shacking Octavia's hand, Twilight waved to Vinyl, who waved back and smiled.

"And she's also your roommate," Pinkie stated.

"Yes Pinkie. Also my roommate," Octavia responded back to the hyper girl.

Pinkie was about to say something else, but her thoughts were interrupted by another knock. She soon let in Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

"Hey guys, the life of the party is here," Dash stated, puffing out her ego. The others rolled their eyes at this.

"Don't be silly Rainbow Dash, the life of the party is Twilight, she's the reason we're having it," Pinkie said, pointing at Twilight.

"Hehe, yeah..." Twilight said in response.

"Yeah, whatever Pinkie," Rainbow said with a shrug as she walked over to Twilight. "Welcome to the Rainbooms," she said, giving Twilight a light punch on the shoulder.

"Thanks Rainbow," Twilight responded, rubbing her shoulder. "Hey Fluttershy," she said, giving the shy girl a wave.

"Hi Twilight, I hope all of this isn't making you uncomfortable," Fluttershy asked sincerely.

"No, it isn't. It's just more attention than what I would've ever gotten from Crystal Prep, and I'm trying to a just to it."

"Ok. Did Spike come with you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Did someone say my name?" came a voice from Twilight's backpack. When Twilight unzipped the bag a purple and green dog poked his head out. "It was getting hot in there."

"Sorry Spike, I forgot you was in there," Twilight apologized, letting Spike down on the ground.

"Hi Spike, I brought you a special treat," Fluttershy said, pulling it out of her pocket.

"Thanks Fluttershy," Spike replied, taking it from her hand.

"The dog can talk?" Octavia whispered to Rarity.

"It's difficult to explain," Rarity whispered back.

Another knock came at the door, and Pinkie bounced over to open it. "Hey Sunset!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Twilight immediately looked towards the door, watching Sunset walk in. "Hi Sunset."

"Hey Twilight, having a good party so far?" Sunset asked with a smile.

"Yeah, definitely," she responded with a smile. 'Especially now that you're here,' Twilight thought to herself.

Rainbow Dash looked past Sunset with a questioning expression. "The Dazzlings didn't come with you?"

"They'll be here later, Adagio ran into a problem earlier," Sunset explained to her.

"The Dazzlings are going to be here!" Octavia asked with shock.

"Oh...right, you don't know yet. We befriended the Dazzlings last year, and tonight was when Twilight was going to meet them," Rarity explained to her musical friend.

"So they've changed?" Octavia asked.

"Yes darling, they're not evil anymore. In fact, Sunset is dating the leader, Adagio."

Octavia and Vinyl shot a puzzled look at Sunset. "I know it sounds strange, but they've changed. Can you give them a chance?" Sunset asked, trying to get their trust.

The two musicians looked at each other and nodded. Octavia sighed before giving their answer. "Alright, we'll give them a chance."

Sunset let out a breath, then smiled happily at them giving her friends a chance.

"So what was the problem Adagio had earlier?" Applejack asked.

"She had to apologize to the mailman, and explain what happened to the police," Sunset responded, making everyone slightly nervous when she brought up the police.

"What happened?" Fluttershy asked.

"Scarlett had attacked the mailman," Sunset flat out stated.

"Who's Scarlett?" Octavia asked Rarity.

"Adagio's dreadful pet snake," Rarity responded with a huff.

"How in tarnation did Scarlett get out of the house and all the way to the mail box," AJ asked.

"I have no idea," Sunset shrugged.

"And she attacked the mailman?" Fluttershy asked, concerned for the man and the snake.

"Apparently. The guy was so scared that he called the police while it happened. Thankfully Adagio was able to call her back into the house. But then she had to deal with the consequences."

"Adagio didn't teach Scarlett to attack people, right?" Rainbow asked.

"I highly doubt that Rainbow. Scarlett is there to keep her company, not be a guard dog, well snake." Sunset responded to her.

"Well let's not let this drag us down, we have to celebrate Twilight being our new Rainboom person!" Pinkie stated, trying to change the subject to something more happy.

Later in the hour, another knock came at the door. Everyone turned towards the door as Pinkie opened it. In stepped Aria and Sonata, the latter being thrilled to finally be at the party.

"Twilight, meet two of the three Dazzlings!" Pinkie said as she motioned Twilight forward.

As she walked up, Twilight looked the two sirens over. One she noticed was really happy, while the other looked rather unpleasant. But what really took her surprise was how pretty they both were. As both of them walked up to say hi, Twilight also noticed their alluring hip movements. "Hi."

"Hi! I'm Sonata Dusk," the blue one said happily.

"I'm Aria Blaze, not that last names are all that important," the purple one stated.

"Nice to meet you," Twilight responded with a weak smile.

"Where's the third one?" Pinkie asked.

"Not far behind," came a voice from behind the two girls. Aria and Sonata both stepped to the side at the sound of her voice. Soon the lead siren walked through the door and forward to Twilight. "Hi, I'm Adagio Dazzle, the leader of the Dazzlings."

"I'm Twilight Sparkle," she answered her back. Twilight was taken back by what she saw. Not only did she notice that Adagio was beautiful, but she also noticed just how god damn sexy she was.

"Twilight Sparkle, the girl Sunset has spoken a lot about recently," Adagio stated, making Twilight blush just a little but thankfully her glasses helped hide it. "And if I'm not mistaken, your also the girl who turned into Midnight Sparkle."

Twilight's breathing stopped for a split second at the mention of her name. "Y-yes, that was me," she admitted ashamed.

" Well, I'm happy to see that Sunset has helped someone else come out of a dark place," Adagio told her genuinely, putting a hand on Twilight's shoulder.

When Adagio walked past Twilight to Sunset, Sonata spoke up, "We all make mistakes."

"You guys are ones to talk," Rainbow stated, which made Fluttershy promptly elbowed her in the side for saying.

"And Twilight's not the only person you get to meet tonight!" Pinkie told the three sirens.

"What?" Aria asked, to which Pinkie pointed to Octavia and Vinyl.

"I'm Octavia, lead cellist at CHS," she said, shaking each of their hands. "And this is Vinyl, the DJ of CHS."

"So your the one who plays the cello, I must say that I love your playing. I always did enjoy the cello," Adagio said to her with a smile, which made Octavia actually smile back.

"Hi Vinyl!" Sonata said, which Vinyl responded with a smile and a wave. "Do...do you not speak?"

"Oh I forget to mention that. Vinyl is actually mute, she can't speak. Which is why she likes to express her thoughts through her music," Octavia informed them.

"Oh," Sonata responded back.

"So your a DJ, and you can't talk?" Aria asked, which Vinyl nodded to. "I like you," Aria said with a smirk.

"So now that everyone's here, WE CAN START THIS PARTY!!" Pinkie exclaimed, jumping high in the air. "Hit the music my good DJ!"

Vinyl popped up behind her equipment and started to play a song. The girls then preceded on with the party. After hours of dancing, games, contests, eating, and more games, the girls started winding down. Soon they were all in the living room, sitting in the different chairs.

"So there's four couples in this room right now?" Octavia asked.

"Yep," AJ responded to her.

"I know about three of them, so which two make up the fourth?" she asked.

Sonata swung her arms around Aria, pulling her close. "We do," she said happily.

Both Octavia and Vinyl raised a eyebrow at the them. "You two?"

"We don't understand it either," Rainbow stated.

"Why do ask about the couples, is it because you two want to make a fifth?" Adagio asked with a smirk, pointing to the two musicians.

"No! I was just curious," Octavia responded quickly.

"If you say so," Adagio replied, taking a sip of her drink.

"Anyway, which of you was first?" Octavia asked.

"Technically Flutters and I were, but the first to come out about it was Sunset and Adagio," Dash replied to her.

Octavia looked over at the two quizzically, while Vinyl gave them a thumbs up. "That shouldn't surprise me."

"We're not afraid of what people say about us, isn't that right Sunny?" Adagio said, putting her arm around Sunset.

"Yeah, it is," Sunset said with a smile, before giving Adagio a sweet but short kiss.

Twilight could feel the tears swelling in her eyes at the sight. Quickly she excused herself and walked to the bathroom. Once inside and sure the other couldn't hear her, she began to cry, the tears quickly sliding down her face.

"Well well well, little Twilight is heartbroken," a voice said from inside the room.

Twilight quickly looked around to see who it was. "Who's there?"

"Just your true friend," it responded to her. Twilight looked around some more before looking back at the mirror. She gasped and stepped back when she saw Midnight Sparkle looking back at her. "Did you miss me?"

"What do you want!?" Twilight asked full of anger.

"Oh I was just sitting around inside your head, watching the outside world, when I noticed a certain girl you care so much about kissing another girl. I saw how upset it made you, and I couldn't help but laugh at your sorrow," Midnight responded mockingly.

"What happens out here is none of your concern!" Twilight stated to her.

"Oh but it is my concern. You think your the only one that has eyes for that dreamy pony girl. I want her as much as you do," Midnight explained to her.

"Why would you want her?" Twilight asked.

"If I can have her by my side, no one could stop me. Besides, imagine what she's capable of in bed," Midnight said seductively.

"You'll never have the chance Midnight!" Twilight yelled at her.

"That's where your wrong Twilight, I will have my chance. I grow stronger everyday, and soon I will control your body. Your sadness, your hatred, your anger fuels my spirit. I know how much you despise that Adagio Dazzle, how much you would love to see her gone for good. I can make it happen Twilight, I can help you achieve everything you've ever wanted. I can get you Sunset Shimmer, you just have to let me have control."

"No, no! I'll never let you out! I control what I do, and if Sunset is happy with Adagio, then I'll let it be!"

"Hahahahahaha, look at you, lying to yourself like that. You and I both know your not happy when you see them together. Let me have control, and your problems will disappear."

"No! I'll never let you have control!"

"So be it. I will be back Twilight, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" Midnight said as she gave a evil laugh and vanished, leaving Twilight looking at herself.

"Twilight, are you alright? You've been gone for awhile," Fluttershy said from the other side of the door.

"I'm fine Fluttershy," Twilight responded. She looked back at her reflection in the mirror, "Just fine." She walked out of the bathroom and back to the group.

"I'm telling you Rarity, coffee is better than tea!" Rainbow stated to Rarity.

"And I'm telling you, Rainbow Dash, that tea is far superior to coffee!" Rarity stated back to her.

"And I thought we argued loudly," Sonata whispered to Aria.

"Yeah," Aria whispered back to her.

"Alright you two, break it up. It doesn't matter which is better, just as long as the two of you enjoy what your drinken," Applejack said, standing between the two.

"Well, now that that is done, I believe it's time to depart, I need to sleep tonight," Rarity said.

"Yeah, but we're not done yet Rarity," Dash said with a smirk.

"Drop it Rainbow," AJ warned.

"Are you ready Sunny?" Adagio asked.

"Yeah, I'm tired," Sunset replied. The two of them got up from their seat. "Well Twilight, I hope this party was a lot of fun for you. And once again, welcome to the group."

"Thank you Sunset," Twilight responded with a smile. The smile on her face got bigger when Sunset gave her a hug. She hoped it would never end, and her face showed it. No one noticed it though, except for Aria. The purple siren was getting out of her seat with Sonata when she noticed the slightly to happy face of Twilight. She didn't think to much on it, but she didn't discard it from her mind. When the hug broke, Adagio walked up beside them.

"Shall we go, I wanna see if I make it home before you do," Adagio smirked.

"As long as you don't break the law trying to do it," Sunset joked.

"It was nice meeting you two," Adagio said to the passing musicians.

"It was nice meeting you too, and your companions. I'm glad to see I was wrong about you three," Octavia said genuinely, before she and Vinyl walked out.

As Sunset and Adagio walked out, Twilight heard a voice in her head. 'I can make your problems go away.' Twilight shook her head as she walked over to the remaining people to say goodbye.
