Hey everypony, I was just listening to the Rainbow Rocks songs and thought, huh? I wonder what would happen if there was a fourth siren that was nice so I got this. The rewrite of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks.

A New Plan
The scene starts off by closing in on a restaurant and fading into the joint full of arguing customers. A green magic-like gas is emanating from these angry people and is being absourbed into four red gem necklases worn by four hooded teenage girls who were singing at the back of the resturant. After they stopped singing they took off their hoods revealing their faces.
One of them was named Adagio Dazzle, a yellow skinned girl with magenta eyes, orange poofy hair with yellow stripes and a spike headband. She was wearing blue jeans and a purple jacket.
Across from Adagio was a purple skinned girl named Aria Blaze, she had purple eyes and purple hair with neon green stripes held in pigtails with silver stars and wore a the same blue jeans as Adagio and a green jacket. Next to Aria was a light blue skinned, magenta eyed girl named Sonata Dusk. Sonata had light blue hair with two darker blue stripes going down the center of her hair that was put up in a ponytail, she also wore jeans and a dark magenta jacket.
Stitting next to Adagio was a pink skinned girl with dark blue eyes named Melody. Melody had black hair with a dark pink stripe in it, unlike the others, her hair was down with a piece of it covering her left eye. She wore jeans and a dark yellow jacket.
Aria sighed. "That was barely worth the effort, Adagio. I'm tired of fast food. I need a meal."
"The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria. We can only gain so much power here." Adagio explained.
"Ugh! I wish we were never banished to this awful place!" Aria complained.
"Really? I love it here!" Adagio said sarcastically before giving a Aria a look of annoyance.
"For realsies?" Sonata said surpizingly. "Because I think this place is the worst."
"I...I don't really mind it here." Melody said softly.
"And reason for that being..." Aria started.
"You were born in this world, Melody. So, you would only feel a natural need to like this place." Adagio finished. She turned to face Melody. "Your still young..."
"I'm almost 16." Melody complained.
"But, your not a full fledged siren, yet that is."
Melody sighed sadly. She and Adagio turned to see Aria and Sonata arguing on who was there worst. Melody couldn't help but giggle at their quarrel.
"Ergh! I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with those two isn't making this world any more bearable ." Adagio said through clenched teeth.
Just then a loud boom caught their attention. The four of them ran outside to see a rainbow beam shoot up at the sky. The red gems around their necks shined. Adagio gasped.
"Did you feel that?! Do you know what that is?" Adagio asked excitedly.
"I 'unno." Aria and Sonata said while Heart Note just stared at Adagio confused.
Adagio grabbed Aria by her collar. "It's Equestrian magic!"
Aria rolled her eyes. "But this place doesn't have Equestrian magic."
"It does now." Adagio let go of Aria and walked forward and smiled wickedly. "And we're going to use it to make everyone in this pathetic little world adore us!"
Aria and Sonata smiled in agreement. Melody looked at them with a worried expression. 'Uh oh.' Melody thought.
The students at Canterlot High chat as they are making posters in the gymnasium. Sunset Shimmer, a light amber skinned girl, with cyan eyes, wearing a pink shirt with her cutie mark, a flaming sun, a black leather jacket, an orange skirt with a pink and yellow stripe in the corner, and black boots with a dark pink flame design, walked over to a group of younger girls and picked up a paint brush.
"Want some help?" Sunset asked the girls.
"Uh, no thanks. We're good." Said the red head girl, Apple Bloom, unsure.
"Oh. Okay." Sunset said as she put the paint brush back.
"Sunset Shimmer!" Yelled Pinkie Pie, a pink skinned, blue eyed, girl. "Over here!" Pinkie waved her hand so Sunset could see her. She was standing next to her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity.
As Sunset made her way over to her new friends, the other students whispered about her as she past them.
Sunset sighed. "I had no idea the whole school would be here."
Rarity held up a poster for their band, The Rainbooms. "Quite the eye-catching advertisement, if I do say so myself."
"And it smells like cake!" Pinkie said, joyfully.
"It does?" Fluttershy asked as she sniffed the poster. Pinkie shoved the poster into Fluttershy's face.
"I used frosting instead of paste!" Pinkie explained. Fluttershy ended up getting frosting and glitter on her nose.
Applejack chucked. "Uh, Fluttershy, you've got a little somethin', uh..."
Fluttershy wiped red her cheek getting only a little bit of the glitter off. "Did I get it?"
"Heh, not exactly." Applejack chuckled again. Sunset got out a napkin and wiped Fluttershy's face, as that happened Principle Celestia came in.
"Good afternoon, students." she announced. "I just wanted to tell you all how pleased I am that so many of you are going to participate in the first ever Canterlot High School Musical Showcase!" The students cheered."This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for all our after-school programs here at CHS. So keep working on those signs and posters. I think it's going to be one of the most exciting events we've had at CHS since the Fall Formal."
All the students, excluding the Mane 5, glared at Sunset. Sunset sunk down to her knees and hid her face in shame.
Later...
"Ugh! I am never gonna live that down." Sunset said. She was sitting down on a piano, the Mane 5 and Sunset had moved to the music room to practice for the musical showcase.
"You were pretty bad at the Fall Formal." Fluttershy said as she grabbed her tambourine.
"A demon. I turned into a raging she-demon." Sunset crossed her arms.
"And tried to turn everyone here into teenage zombies for your own personal army!" Pinkie Pie pretended to be a zombie for emphases.
"Oh, darling, you have us, and we've forgiven you for your past... ahem... booboos." Rarity reassured.
"To be honest, I'd say the whole experience brought everyone at Canterlot High closer than ever before!" Applejack said as she held her bass guitar.
https://m .
Sunset clapped at their performance and smiled.
Rarity laughed. "I still can't believe that happens when we play! Ooh! I've got to look into some new accessories! Something that looks good in a longer ponytail. Ooh! Maybe some clip-on earrings for when I get those adorable pony ears."
"I just wonder why it happens. Princess Twilight took her crown back to Equestria. Shouldn't that mean she took all the magic back with her?" Applejack asked, confused.
"Who cares why it happens? It makes my band totally awesome!" Rainbow gloated.
"Oh! Your band?" Rarity exclaimed.
"Duh! It was my idea to start the Rainbooms so we could be in the showcase. Plus I'm the lead singer and guitarist."
There was a knock on the door, it was Flash Sentry.
"Uh, heard you outside. You guys are sounding really tight." Flash commented.
"Uh, we're getting there." Rainbow nodded. "Rarity's still coming in a little late on the second verse, and Applejack's bass solo could use a little work. They'll get it together in time for the showcase." Behind Rainbow Applejack and Rarity were steaming up, Fluttershy tried to hid behind her tambourine.
"Uh, I don't suppose any of our friends from, uh... out of town might come?" Flash asked as he blushed. "Uh, it being a special charity event and all."
"Sorry, Flash." Applejack explained. "I don't think Twilight's gonna be back at Canterlot High any time soon."
Flash laughed nervously. "Oh, yeah. Okay. I just, you know, thought I'd ask." Flash started to walk backwards. "Uh, k-keep on rockin' it." He ran into the wall, blushed then slid out of the room.
"Well." Rarity giggles. "Someone is quite the smitten kitten." She jumped in realization of what she said and turned to Sunset Shimmer. "Oh. Sorry. I always forget you and Flash used to be an item."
"It's okay." Sunset said as she sat back on the piano. "Flash is a great guy and all, but I never really liked-him liked him. I was just using him to become more popular. Ugh! The old me really was just awful, wasn't she?"
"Mmm... horrid." Rarity said.
Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy nodded in agreement.
"Yep!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"But the important thing is that you've turned yourself around." Applejack reassured Sunset as she put a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks, Applejack, but I'm not sure everyone else at CHS feels the same way." Sunset sighed.
The P.A. system beeps then Vice Principle Luna's voice sounds. "Sunset Shimmer, please report to the main foyer."
Sunset Shimmer got off the piano and grabbed her bag. "Gotta run. I volunteered to show some new students around the school. Thought it'd be good for them to get to know the new me before they heard all the stuff about the old me." Sunset walked out the door.
"We've still got a few minutes before lunch starts." Rainbow stated. "What do you say we do "Awesome As I Wanna Be"?"
"Um, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. "I was wondering if we could maybe play the song I wrote?" She held up her pink notebook with some butterflies on it and smiled.
"We'll get to it." Rainbow grabbed her guitar.
Fluttershy frowned sadly. "Oh. Okay."
Rainbow Dash smiled and played a chord.
Sunset Shimmer smiled as she approached Adagio, Sonata, and Aria, who were in the shadows.
"Hi, are you the new girls I'm suppose to show around." Sunset asked.
"We are." Adagio confirmed as they stepped out of the shadows. She was now wearing a purple shirt and shorts with a treble cleft and gold colored diamond on either side, along with a gold spiky belt with the same gold colored diamond, and a light purple mini over-jacket. She also wore purple tights and purple boots with the gold spikes, and pink fingerless gloves. She looked around and turned to Sonata and Aria. "Where's Melody?" She hissed.
"Well, Sonata?" Aria said accusingly. Aria now wore a tan shirt with a green riped jacket over it, and dark purple-pink skinny jeans, with a double belt connected with the same type of star that held up her hair. She also wore 3 arm bands on each arm, and dark pink boots.
"What?" Sonata asked as she looked at the other two, confused. She was now in a dark pink dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and had three blue connectors on the front, a pink skirt and pink and white knee-high shoes, along with a pink braclet with blue spikes on each wrist.
"You were suppose to wake up Melody." Aria spat.
"Is everything okay?" Sunset asked.
"Everything's fine. We just need to wait for another person." Adagio explained.
"Oh. Okay." Sunset turned around and waited.
"I thought Aria was suppose to wake her up." Sonata defended.
"No, Adagio told you last night to." Aria said.
"I thought she told you."
"It was you."
"No, you."
"It doesn't matter!" Adagio interrupted. "Just go try to find her. Both of you."
"Okay." Sonata and Aria agreed.
There was a muffled "I'm here!" Coming through the doors. Melody ran up the stairs and burst through the double doors.
"I'm here-ah!" She fell and dropped her books. Melody was now wearing a dark red dress, the sleeves were hanging on the sides of her shoulders, a blue belt around the waist and yellow flats with three music notes in three hearts, each heart was a different color. The first Heart was pink, the second Heart was light red, and the third Heart was dark red on each shoe. "Hehe, I'm okay." She groaned. She started to reach for her books.
"Here let me." Sunset offered as she picked up Melody's books and handing them to her.
"Thanks." Melody took her books. She turned to Adagio. "Sorry I was late, Adagio." She apologized.
"It's fine." Adagio smiled.
"Now that everyone's here, let's start the tour." Suset chimed. "Canterlot High is a great school, you're really gonna love it." Sunset started the tour, Adagio, Sonata, Aria, and Melody followed.
"Yes, we really sense something...magical about this place." Adagio grinned. Aria and Sonata grinned back, Melody smiled nervously.
As the tour went on, Melody started to enjoy it more and more, while the other three were getting more and more bored.
"That's the science lab. Computer lab is in there." Sunset pointed out, her eyes widen when she spotted a poster. "Oh! We're having a big musical showcase this weekend! The whole school is pretty much rallying around it."
"A musical showcase?" Adagio grinned.
Sunset nodded. "I'm sure since your new, Principle Celestia will let you sign up if your interested."
"We have been known to sing from time to time." Aria informed.
"Hello! We sing, like, all the time. It's how we get people to do what want." Sonata intervened.
Adagio growled at her while Aria face palmed.
"W-What I'd say?"
"What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way to meet other students." Adagio saved.
"Ohhhh, yeah. Th-What she said is what I ment to say. That's what I ment. To say."
"And what you would have said if you weren't the worst." Aria complained.
"You are."
Adagio intervened. "You'll have to excuse them, they're idiots." Adagio smiled, Aria and Sonata crossed their arms. There was an awkward silence until Sunset noticed all four of them wearing the same type of necklase.
"Those are pretty." Sunset complemented. She reached for Adagio's necklase. "Where'd you get-" Sunset was cut off when Adagio grabbed her wrist.
Adagio laughed nervously. "Sorry, but these pendants mean an awful lot to us. We'd just hate for anything to happen to them."
"Oh. Okay." Sunset backed up. "I'll just let you get settled." She left.
"Um, Adagio?" Melody spoke up.
"Yes, Melody?" Adagio answered.
"Um, well, I was wondering if I could, you know, take a look around?"
"Sure, Aria will-"
"By myself." Melody added.
"Melody-"
"Please. Just this once." Melody begged.
Adagio sighed. "You know I don't like it when your alone. You remember last time you were alone?"
"I do, but it'll be different this time. There will be a teacher watching everything. Please Adagio." Melody then gave Adagio her puppy dog pout, one of which that no one can say 'no' to.
Adagio sighed again. "Alright, you can go by yourself." Melody jumped up and down. "Just be sure to meet us at the cafeteria doors in 5 minutes before lunch, please."
"Alright, Adagio. I promise." She was about to leave, but then turned around and gave Adagio a hug. "Thank you." Then she skipped off.
Adagio sighed.
"The things you do for her." Aria said as if reading Adagio's mind.
"What?" Adagio said as Aria and Sonata gave her looks that said 'explanation, please'.
"You're the one who became Miss Sister-Mother the moment you found her." Aria said.
"Yeah." Sonata pitched in. "Ever since then you've gotten soft."
"Soft?!" Adagio exclaimed. "I... augh! Let's just go wait!" Adagio stormed off with Sonata and Aria on her tail.

Meanwhile, Melody was near the music room listening to the band that was playing in there. She was leaning against the door when it suddenly opened and she fell.
"Whoa!" She exclaimed. 'What is it with me and falling today?' She thought.
"Oh, my! Are you alright?" Rarity asked as she helped her up. Melody nodded shyly.
"Wow, she's more shy than Fluttershy in a crowded room." Rainbow Dash commented. Applejack elbowed her rib. "Ow."
"So, are ya new here?" Applejack asked. Melody nodded.
"Ooh, a new friend!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"I suppose we should introduce ourselves." Rarity suggested. "I'm Rarity."
"I'm Fluttershy."
"Howdy! Ma names Applejack." She shook Heart Note's hand.
"Hi! My names Pinkie Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie. Since your new here that means that you don't have any friends, yet. So that means we can now be the bestest friends ever! Ooh, maybe we should throw you a welcome party so that way you can meet lots of other new friends! And..."
"Uh, Pinkie." Applejack said as she pointed to Heart Note, who's eyes were spinning.
"Oopsies."
"Ahem." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "And finally I'm Rainbow Dash. As in the Rainbow Dash. The amazing lead singer and guitar player in my band, The Rainbooms."
"Our band." Applejack corrected.
"Anyways," Rainbow rolled her eyes. "what's your name?"
"Uh..." Melody was kind of shocked at this point. "M-My name is Melody."
"Ah, Melody. Such an elegant name." Rarity complemented.
"Oh, thank you." She blushed. She looked at her watch and jumped.
"Er, somethin' wrong, Melody?" Applejack asked.
"Oh, it's just that I have to meet my sisters in a few minutes. So, I have to go."
"Ooh, you have sisters!? That's amazing that means more friends!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Simmer down there, Pinkie." Applejack said.
"Welp, see you later." Melody zipped out of the room.
After a few seconds of silence Pinkie Pie spoke up.
"I like her." She smiled.
We then fade into the cafeteria, where Sunset Shimmer just sat down with the Rainbooms.
"So how was the tour?" Applejack asked Sunset.
"I don't know." Sunset said. "I mean these girls, they were... There was something off about them."
"Like, off like this?" Pinkie made her hair into a mustache. "Or off like this?" Pinkie now had lettuce on her eyebrows and two carrots hanging from her mouth. "Or... Oh, oh! Like—"
"Maybe we should just let her tell us." Rainbow Dash said as she gestured to Sunset. A carrot fell out of Pinkie's mouth.
"That's just it. I can't put my finger on it. They just acted sort of... strange around me. Except one, but maybe someone already talked to the other three. Told them about what I did." Sunset sighed. "So much for making a good first impression."
"Uh-huh." Fluttershy nodded. The others glared at her. "Oh, that's probably not it."
~~~~
Outside the cafeteria doors, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata waited for Melody.
"She's gonna be late again." Aria complained. "In 3... 2..."
"I'm here!" Melody slide to Aria's feet.
Sonata blew a fake whistle. "Safe!"
Melody stood up. "Yes!"
"Alright, girls. This is the moment we've been waiting for." Adagio said.
"Lunch?" Sonata asked as she looked at a lunch poster.
Melody giggled while Adagio groaned. "The chance to get our true Equestrian Magic back."
"Oh. Right."
"Our voices are just strong enough to make them want something so badly, they'll fight to get it."
"So we're just gonna do what we always do?" Aria said. "Stir up some trouble and then feed off the negative energy? Some plan, Adagio."
"It won't be the same as the times before! There is Equestrian magic here. Their negative energy will give us the power we need to get this entire world to do our bidding."
"But we can get lunch after though, right? It's Taco Tuesday!" Sonata said, looking at a school lunch poster. Melody giggled at Sonata once more.
"Just follow my lead.
"Or my lead." Aria said.
"My lead!" Adagio stepped in front of Aria, proving her point to lead.
(Pretend in the Dazzlings Parts', Melody is with them.)
https://m .
We pan back from The Dazzlings to see all the students arguing and green smoke emitting from them. The green smoke is being absorbed by the red gems necklaces. We now focus on the main five plus Sunset Shimmer as they watch the fighting.
"Ohhhh. They're that kind of "off"." Pinkie Pie said to the group.

Sorry for this chapter being so short.
