Canterlot City: Crystal Prep Academy; January 5th, 2018

Crystal Prep Academy, founded in the year 1875 and has stood as a testament to higher learning and unrivaled since its creation. It was a school that had the best teachers, the best curriculum and a strict code of rules that kept its students at the top of the mountain of greatness that had given the school such a magnificent reputation.

The school was also masterfully crafted both inside and outside as the many walls were layered with crystal much to the credit of the schools namesake. Every part of the building dazzled in the morning light as the sun shined bright in the sky even though the chilling winter cold had accompanied it making everyone scurry inside quickly. Of the many students now headed inside early to either study or chat there were three girls who were very new to this school and each of them was distinct and special in their own way.

The first was the youngest and the one with the wide eyed bright smile on her face as she gazed upon the brand new school that she and her two sisters would be attending. She had never really liked the 'class' parts of school whenever they needed to attend in order to stir up trouble and absorb energy but she ADORED extra curricular activities and classes that involved anything to do with cooking or baking and of course music.

She was dressed in the traditional crystal prep shadowbolt uniform that complimented her baby blue skin as well as her blue and indigo streaked hair which she had done up in a cute short ponytail as opposed to her normal longer ponytail. Another thing she did like about some of the schools they attended were the uniforms and these uniforms were super cute! With stars in her eyes and a wide smile the young blue girl said.

"This place is like soooooo pretty! It kinda looks like one of the castles in the crystal empire back home!" Sonata chirped with a cheery grin.

Next to her was the middle child and second oldest siren who unlike her sister had her arms crossed and sported a sort of pouted scowl on her face as if saying she really didn't want to be there but was because she had nothing better to do. She was unlike her dopey and ditzy sister; she HATED school.

Classes were a drag, teachers were annoying, other students were even more annoying, lunches sucked and by the time the school year was over? You go on summer vacation just to forget most of what you learned anyway! It was so stupid but of course she had no better plans than what her eldest sister had come up with and while she thought this was a bad idea that had a high chance of failure just like their last attempt at a High School? She couldn't argue with Adagio even if she tried....which she did...and she lost.

She wore the same uniform as her younger sister however Aria HATED uniforms and so in an act of defiance she would still wear it but she would wear it her way but the only change she made was ditching the bow-tie and opted for leggings like Adagio and she had kept her blazer closed. Her long purple and turquoise streaked hair as usual was tied into two long pigtails held in place with two star hair clips.

"This is such a drag; do we HAVE to mingle in with these snobby pricks?" Aria Blaze said with clear irritation in her voice. Why couldn't she just stay home and laze around on the couch? It's not like she wasn't probably gonna get suspended from this snooty place anyway. It always ended up that way for her when they attended prep schools or academies in order to seed chaos because Aria was a bit too good at it sometimes and it was sometimes unintentional.

"Ugh and these uniforms suck! I mean it's Friday! Haven't these people ever heard of dress down day?" Aria complained.

The final girl who stood in the middle of the two younger siblings was of course the elder and the leader. She had an air of dominance and grace about her that was natural as her beauty and yet underneath it all was a sense of intimidation that could be turned on at the flip of a switch. She was the most well built out of her two sisters as well, while Aria had a nice rear and hips; and Sonata had a bouncy chest and nice hips with a baby face? Adagio had hips, chest, legs and the whole nine yards.

She was simply beautiful and she was very confident in that and made sure everyone had something to look at. She wore the same uniform as her sisters but her skirt was just a short enough to show a little hip, her leggings clung amazingly to her legs, she had her blazer open and wore the bow-tie while also keeping the top two buttons of her shirt undone as to show just enough cleavage to attract a couple eyes.

On her hands were a pair of fingerless purple gloves and her lions mane of orange and yellow hair was tied back into its normal big puffy ponytail. She smiled a smile that would more likely be at home on a super villain and while she wasn't exactly 'evil' anymore, old habits died hard and her smile was one thing that would probably always be laced with mischief in some way but nowadays she tried to have it only be playful mischief and nothing world ending.

"Oh stop your whining Aria; this is going to be the sight of our greatest conquest yet!" Adagio stated as she looked upon the school and the students that walked along the hallways and her outfit was certainly turn a couple of heads and not all of them were male. Feeling in control of the environment Adagio walked forward, hips in full swing as her black uniform shoes clicked against the polished floors.

"Come girls we have business to attend to." Adagio said taking a look at the sheet of paper she was given days prior by the new principal.

"So what's the plan Dagi? Can ya tell us noooooow?" Sonata said growing more impatient that Adagio hadn't shared the full plan with them and she was so excited to finally know what it was. She knew it involved this school somehow but didn't know exactly what they would be doing there.

"Yeah 'boss' whats the big master plan this time?" Aria rolled her eyes with her arms still crossed and pouting.

"Oh very well I suppose I've kept you two in the dark long enough. Our plan here is quite simple." Adagio stopped at where the sheet of paper said their lockers would be located and after dialing in her combo she opened her locker and found her own set of supplies that were given to her as well as her sisters by the school board.

"You see after the battle of the bands its safe to say we needed...'time' to recover and in all that time what did we learn?" Adagio asked her sisters as she scanned through the different books she had gotten and then the class schedule that was given to her.

"That we are stuck in this world forever?" Aria replied snarkly

"That we don't have magic anymore?" Sonata replied as well

"That we totally still suck at singing because of those stupid raingoons?" Aria answered bitterly

"Rainbooms." Sonata corrected.

"Whatever" Aria answered curtly.

"Yes to all of those; however you forgot something. We are still alive. They let us live, the elements of harmony let us live. No banishment to Tartarus or the moon; no getting turned to stone. They gave us a chance to change and I don't know about you but after much misery and time to think? I say we give it a shot." Adagio finished saying as she placed all her books in her backpack as she addressed her sisters finally about what she felt they should do.

Remembering back to the battle of the bands she remembered the exact moment she knew that once again they had been defeated by Equestrian powers far beyond them and then chuckled semi-bitterly. "Do you remember when that first wave of those girls magic hit us?"

"How could we forget?" Aria said placing a hand where her gem used to be.

"Yeah it felt like that time Aria one inch punched me in the gut when we lived in China but in the throat!!" Sonata said throwing a pouty look at Aria who simply grinned and shrugged it off.

"What? I wanted to see if I could pull it off and I bought you noodles to say sorry" Aria said rolling her eyes but grinned just a little bit, if there was one way for Aria Blaze to get her jollies anymore? It was teasing Sonata just to see her throw a flustered temper tantrum like a child.

"Hmph you're a meanie!" Sonata said stomping her foot.

"And you're the worst!" Aria snapped back

"AM NOT!!" Sonata shouted.

"ARE TOO!" Aria snapped back

"Nuh-uh!" Sonata yelled

"Yuh-huh!" Aria snapped getting in Sonata's face.

"Meanie butt!" Sonata snapped using her most common insult against Aria

"Taco breath!" Aria shouted back at Sonata.

"Frowny McPouty Pants!" Sonata snapped now in Aria's face

"Stupid airheaded blueberry!" Aria got in Sonata's face and scowled.

"Flat!!!" Sonata grinned viciously and knew she had just hit a big trigger for Aria. She was VERY sensitive about her chest size as compared to Sonata and Adagio, Aria looked very flat. To further push this point home Sonata rapidly flicked Aria in the tit through her shirt which Aria HATED.

"Ack wuh why you ditzy little-owowowowowowoowowow!!!" Aria began to get red in the face but then felt someone grab at her pigtail on the right side and yank it strongly

The same was done to Sonata as he ponytail was given a powerful tugging by Adagio who also tugged at Aria's hair. This was a punishment that was usually used against them as their hair basically functioned like their fins back in Equestria and pulling at them hurt like Hell which is one of the reasons why Adagio was VERY touchy about people touching her hair. As she yanked their hair in different directions she smiled deviously at the two of them.

"Now didn't I make myself CRYSTAL clear at home this morning? What was it I told you two when we got to school hm? Ari?" She yanked and tugged at Aria's pigtail a bit hard and made her yelp.

"Gyah! T-To play nice! Owowwowow c-c'mon Gio let us g-goooooowowow!!!" Aria yelped wildly as Adagio kept yanking at her hair.

"owwy owwy owwy owwy!!! We'll be good!!!" Sonata flailed in distress hoping for Adagio to release them.

"Hm I am not sure I believe you; perhaps you two need..." Adagio's villainous grin grew wider as she was about to suggest something she knew Aria hated.

"Oh no...please...please I swear I'll be a good girl just don't-" Aria pleaded with her eyes but to no avail.

"A HUG!" Adagio said bringing her two sisters into a very powerful hug and kept them close together and pressed against her and she added lethal sweetness to her voice. "Now are you two gonna be good little dazzlings and behave like I told you?"

"YES!" They both replied quickly as they didn't want Adagio to crush them as she was much stronger than she looked.

"Goodie!" She released the two girls and smiled still turning back to her locker and grabbing two sheets of paper. One was purple and one was blue and she would hand them to the respective girl they went too. "This is our schedule; from what I have read we have most of our classes together but only have 2 classes when we are all in the same place and that's gym and history." Adagio stated

"Well at least we know what classes we will be surely acing at this place...well I mean I'LL ace gym; not sure about you two" Aria was very confident in saying that physically she was the strongest of the sirens and knew her way around a fight the best especially having gotten training in china many centuries ago from a legendary martial artist.

"Yes because we both know you are best suited for being the group attack dog and what better place to let you off your leash than in the gym." Adagio teased and looked over her schedule again smiling as she read over the different classes she personally had. "Oooh I've been given dance and art! Excellent for me; and what about you Sonata?" Adagio asked the youngest sibling.

"I got Home Ec and dance! Yay!!" Sonata beamed happily. She loved to dance just like Adagio did and she was the second best dancer among them.

Looking at the list again Aria then noticed something before all of their classes. "Hey it looks like we are supposed to go to some kinda orientation in the preforming arts center; wonder what that's all about"

"Only way way to find out, it's high time we dazzle this place" Adagio said with no shame in the pun she just made as she lead her sisters down the halls and while she couldn't sing anymore she could still whistle a melody and so she would whistle and hum the very same melody and tune they had used when they first arrived at Canterlot High School.
