Chapter 1: A Little bit of Evil

The town has a bright sun today, not a single cloud to be seen; only good things can come up with this... right? Well, not exactly. One girl is walking in a restricted area, that no one watches for years; she's carrying a bag full of chip bags and many other tasty snacks that are ipossible to be eaten alone. She arrives a house, full of shiny stuff inside but with a slight dark ambiance all around it, a door cracks while opening and a woman walks down the stairs slowly; has white shiny hair whith slight blueish strains, a redish skin tone and make up all over her eyes.

"Glad you're already back" She said while walking closer to the girl. "You got what i asked you, Misty?"

"I do, Opaline" Misty answered with a smile on her face while opening the bag. "I got chips supply for the next month as you wanted"

"Excellent work, i knew i could count on you..." Opaline stopped for a second, realizing something. "Hold on... Misty, where is my gem?"

Misty smiled for a second. "I though it would be bad to get it stained inside the bag, so i made it a necklace and wore it around... my... neck..." Misty slowly noticed that she didn't had the gem around her neck and slowly get to panic. "I... uh... had it, i swear i had it"

"Misty! That gem is the reason why i am here, the reason why i know magic and how to use it on my bennefit; without that gem i'm nothing. Find it, Misty, i don't care how long it takes you... but i need that gem back!"

A few months later...

Sunny is looking the gem that started it all, the inscription that made her wish for some help for Canterlo High made her smile once again knowing that the dream of her father was going all in march in good hands alongside her friends. Hitch made sure everything was safe for any performance to be made, Izzy the makeup speciallist in charge for everyone to look great, Zipp investigates possible menaces and Pipp manages the social media of them all; least but not less important are the Rainbooms, the ones that came back to life thanks to Sunny's wish and do whatever it's in their hands to make Sunny proud and help her. The clock is ticking, they have a performance that day and everything has to be set for this day.

"Come on everyone, get ready. Today's a big day and we have to make sure everything goes ok today at the Canterlot against Crystal Prep match today" Sunny called everyone attention.

"I hope CHS is better these days, we used to lose every match against them" Rainbow Dash was not happy remembering that.

"In every match? How? They're just a bunch of snobs most of time" Pipp was also not so happy to have them in their school, but it was obvious they had a reputation.

"Well, as an ex-student at that place i know how they used to think... they were more than just snobs and i think that term is very short for what they used to do" Twiligjit's body shaked remembering those awfull days before Canterlot High, and everyone else of the Ranbooms just didn't spoke any more about it and just went to Canterlot High.

Canterlot High was recieving a lot of people going into the steps of the football field, where the match was about to begin; Sunny lead everyone to where they were going to perform. But she spotted someone that was struggling and acting nervous and looking for something; Sunny with all her good heart, walked closer to try to help her.

"Excuse me!" Sunny called the attention of the girl who jumped of surprise not expecting someone to talk to her. "Oh, sorry; didn't mean to scare you"

"Oh... uh, it's ok. No need to apoligize... i guess" She started playing with her hair nervously. "I'm looking for something of someone, but i haven't found it... yet"

Sunny hold her by her shoulder. "Do not worry, you'll find it eventually; i'm sure about it" She said to comfort her a little bit.
"I remember seeing you in the halls before, I'm Sunny Starscout"

"I'm... Misty" Misty answered in a low voice. "I'm sorry i have to go... i still have to look for it"

Sunny grabbed her by the hand before she was able to run away. "Wow, why the hurry? There's going to be a performance from a group soon and you're gonna love it" Sunny leaded Misty to the main stage where they were going to get the songs playing. Misty tried to escape, but she was unnable to do so.

They arrived to the gym, the match was at it's half point so they made a space where everyone could take a drink or talk with each other, then the lights turned off and the Rainbooms walked on stage; with the sound of the drums that made the rhythm, the song started and as soon as they started to sing, Misty's eyes shined. She has never listened to something that beautiful in ever and she payd all the attention to the rainbooms, a feel of relief invading her whole body up and down, basically every inch of her body.

Sunny saw how misty formed a smile on her face. "Told you!" Sunny winked at Misty. "All you needed was to calm down and relax to the music for once, enjoy the rest of it" Sunny went to the stage while Misty stayed there and danced to the rythym that had her loving the beats, the voices and the overall ambiance; she forgot completely about what she was looking for.

About an hour later she came back to where Opaline was, she was still humming the song while shaking her hips; she closed to door to not make a lot of noises to not disturb Opaline... but she has ears everywhere. "You're back, Misty?"

"I am, sorry i didn't make any noise. Didn't wanted to disturb you" She said quietly.

"That's sweet of you, but you know what i really would appreciate?" Misty shake her head. "Getting my gem... BACK!!!! Have you found it?" Opaline screamed out loud upset at Misty. "Do you know how hard it was to write that fake message of one wish only? Who knows what kind of idiot have that gem in it's hands and what it's beig used for"

"I apologize, Opaline, but i was at Canterlot High; looking for it and then there was a band called The Rainbooms that made a stunning..."

Opaline covered Misty's mouth. "Did you just said, Rainbooms?" Misty noded and the face of Opaline changed once again to fury. "They're back... from the death. That pesky friendship group is back!"

"Uhm, but they didn't seemed as dead. At least not on sight or voices" Misty hummed again a bit of the song.

"Misty! Don't you realize? They came back from the tombs, that means someone has already made a wish with my gem and it's using it for... ugh... friendship. Get that gem, Misty, i cannot walk out of this place; so it's up to you t retrieve what belongs to me. Got it?" Misty nod once again while Opaline made herself stand like in a power status. "Soon, they will regret to have returned, just you wait Rainbooms; just wait" She declared before starting to laugh in a devilous tone thinking on what they will have to go through to get their friendship back as she opened a box that contains all the necklaces that were from them when they were alive.

Chapter 2: Sugar Plums

Did you ever wondered what's the loudest sound in the world? No? Well, the answer it's easier than expected; it's Pinkie Pie in the kitchen trying to get as good as she used to be with baking, she has not lost her touch on it but there were a few things she cannot do as before due to some problems with the joints and the speed she used to use, that would be a problem and also not very healthy if a part of her ends in the cake. The rest of the Rainbooms do not question her and her ways, but Sunny and Hitch are not used to that amount of sound and sugar.

After some minutes, Pinkie ended the main cake. "And done, hope you guys like it. I call it The Pink Plum" When they looked at it they recognized it as a giant plum that was grown in certain conditions, shiny everywhere. They all take a bite, but Sunny and hitch couldn't swallow it, it was soar and a bit tasteless.

"Well, this should be illegal" Hitch took what he bite and placed it on a plate. "Did you forgot about the sugar? Because that would make it taste even better"

"That's what i used, i have added it." She showed what she added and Sunny sighed.

"My bad... Sorry, Pinkie, that was not sugar; that was saccharin. I completely forgot to label that correctly" Sunny felt guilty of that. "How didn't you noticed? It has a peculiar taste"

"No ofense darling, but we're not tasting anything at all" Rarity swallowed part of the cake.

"I think we... have no taste at all..." Fluttershy was moving a fort around the piece she had. "We i think as we're dead... we don't need to taste anything"

"Not only that, as we're not livin' we didn't needed to eat nothin' so we didn't noticed until now" Applejack pointing the obvious of the situation, everyone disappointed to that fact.

But Pinkie felt it even more, she always loved the taste of sugar on her tongue; baking for others to give smiles to everyone... but what was the point of baking if she cannot even taste it. "It's... nothing, don't worry, i can do better..." She said quickly looking for some more to bake, but before she could do anything, Susnet walked closer and hugged her.

"Pinkie, stop... this is what we're now and we cannot change it; this is what we're now" Susnet tried to sound sweetener and calming, but that only made her feel worse, she smaked Susnet, making her disjoint all her body parts and hide in the basement. "I tried it. We have to do something"

"But what can we do? We don't feel pain, we can't taste and you want us to make her feel better for something we cannot have?" Rainbow said trying to figure out what was the plan exactly. "I know what it is to not be able to have something, but forcing won't solve it"

"Maybe it won't, but i know who could give us some hands" Sunny picked up her phone and got ready to call the reinforcements, or that's how she wants to make it sound cool. They answered the phone instantly, meanwhile some saw it as an emergency... others didn't cared as much.

Pipp and Izzy arrived as quick as they could, they walked inside Sunny's house walking imitating slow motion videos and sunglases, with the sound of the music from Pipp's phone marking their way in. Everyone else were just looking at the scene they were making... just Rainbow Dash was deeply thinking they made a really cool entrance. Izzy took off her sunglasses while Pipp was shaking her head to the rhythm. "Fear not, the saviors are here!" Declaired Izzy while smiling wide and pointing forward.

"With us here, she will cheer up in no time" Pipp followed Izzy's movement meanwhile Sunny didn't even knew how to react. "I think we overdid this, Izzy"

"You think so?" Sunny's sarcasm filled the ambiance for a second. "Can you help her?" Forgeting about everything else, she just made that important question.

Pipp actually did got a bit unsecure about it, because she's not the best with helping others or expressing feelings if it's not with her phone or social media. So it looks like it's up to Izzy to cheerp up on Pinkie Pie, confident wit her own self because she's been cheerful for a long time and will make sure to cheer someone up. She walked closer to the basement door and slowly opened it, a slight cry could be heard; Izzy gave a quick thumbs up to everyone and walked down the basement slowly to not call the attention of Pinkie Pie too suddenly.

As quick as she was down there, the crying noises were more intense. "Hi friend... i'm here to talk" Izzy claimed with her all friendly voice. The crying shut for a moment and the sound of body movement filled the room instead.

"Leave me alone... please" Pinkie's voice was really low, but enough to be heard. "All i want to do now is rely on my past" A soft lighting hit Pinkie's face showing her reddish eyes and some look alike tears that made her look be a lot more sad than it should be.

"There's nothing to worry about, i'm here to cheer you up" Izzy walked closer and offered her hand. "I'm just trying to help"

Pinkie Pie slapped Izzy's hand out of the way and her breathing got really fast. "Help? You want to help me?" Her emotions took control over her and didn't wanted to hear anything from anyone. "For you it's really easy, you can do whatever you want with your whole pack of alive thigns to do... but me? Baking was what i was good for and now i can't do that even trying my hardest, if i can't do that... what can i do?" She kneeled and hugged into her knees.

Izzy felt all the sadness she was keeping for herself and sat against a wall and looked up into the basement's lightbulb. "You know... i've been in a similar situation. In fact i did not always lived here" Izzy said after she sighed and hugged into her knees too. "I used to live in another town and did things my own way... but i messed up... and had to go by force" Pinkie looked at Izzy for a moment who was keeping her tears inside. "I really wanted to like people there, but they ended up by hating me even more, so i came here hoping things i do were seen different and better by everyone"

Pinkie Pie then jumped aside Izzy and hugged her, the cold skin of Pinkie got a bi warmer thanks to Izzy. "You've suffered enough" Pinkie said, making Izzy to break into tears; but she kept her smile to not make it worse. "I should feel confident about myself but i don't even know what's gotten into me"

Izzy petted Pinkie's head understanding the feeling. "You can still be yourself, you just need one thing and you have plenty of that... Friends!" They both smiled widely at each other and Pinkie understood what she had to do, so after standing up and cleaning her clothes and some of the tears that were under her eyes she walked out up the basement stairs.

"Aren't you comming, Izzy" Pinkie asked turning around for a second.

"Jelly legs, they won't allow me to walk for a few second. I'll catch you up"

Pinkie went back on going out of the basement, when she finallt steped out... she was shaking holding into her skirt. Everyone in the room looked at her waiting for her to speak. "I'm sorry... for how i acted. I felt a little down and didn't knew how to react so i rejected your help. I'm really, really sorry!"

Sunset walked closer to Pinkie and hugged her tightly. "We know, Pinkie Pie, we know" The rest of the gang walked also closer to her and made a group hug. "While we're still friends we don't care what you do as long as you are you. So please, Pinkie Pie; be yourself" Pinkie smiled and joined the hug making all of the way tighter to her feeling comfortable.

Izzy walked out of the basement shortly after and saw the precious scene of all of them hugging. "i gotta say, Izzy, you have a good hand for this stuff" Hitch recognized her talent. "How did you do it?"

"I'm sorry sherif, but that's a profesional secret" Izzy shut the conversation with that simple phrase; important or not of how it's been done, their feelings are the key to understand what the deal is.

Chapter 3: Misty Mystery

Everyone likes the some humming, especially that beat that's stuck in your head for some time. Misty had the song of the rainbooms stuck in her head for some days and can't stop it in any moment soon, Opaline stepped inside Misty's room and looked at her with some contempt eyes.

"Misty!" Opaline screamed to make her pay attention. Misty jumped from her bed and waited for Opaline to talk. "I know you're smiley and like a shine; but stop humming like that... you're making me sick"

"I'm sorry, Opaline, but that melodyw as just too catchy and i can't forget it" She kept doing the rhythm with her foot. "I really liked these Rainboo-"

"DON'T EVEN MENTION THAT NAME, MISTY! They're just fools" She screamed just for taking her breath back. "Misty, instead of being the whole day here, i recomend you to look for the gem that you lost; or else it won't be the only thing that will be lost"

Misty gulped some saliva. "Yes, Opaline. Understood!" Misty grabbed a backgbag and went outside before she gets even angrier. But were to start to search? There are a lot of palces where she could have lost it and for real anyone could have found it and even don't know what it can do, every bush, every tree, every trash can... Misty covered everything she could have accidentally leaved it on.

"What are you doing?" It was Zipp, behind misty who was putting her hand inside another different trash can. "That doesn't seem healthy to do"

Misty recognized her from the performance Sunny invited her to. "Oh... uhm... i'm looking for something i've lost... i told it to Sunny and... sorry i'm speaking too much... i'm like this with new people"

"It's ok, don't worry. Yeah, Sunny mentioned you... Misty was it? You don't have a second name?"

Misty looked around herself, she never needed a second name as Opaline only called her... or screamed at her with her name. "Uhm... Misty... Brightdawn; yeah... Misty Brightdawn"

"Cute name" Zipp smiled at her so she wouldn't feel invaded or under pressure. "So you lost something?"

"I did... and it's something it's not mine. I feel bad because it really is something important for this person and i messed it up" She felt deeply guilty, to the point of crouching and hugginh her legs. "I'm bad... i'm really bad..." Misty hold her leggings tightly with a shaky hand.

"I know what can cheer you up, let's go shopping!" Zipp invited Misty, there was a mall a few streets up the road; so they wouldn't lost so much time on there. "We can get Smoothies, chat about silly films or maybe buy you some clothes... those seem like from decades ago"

"What's wrong with my style?" Misty was dressing with a neon blue jacket, her leggings had a very close style to the 80's disco videoclips with shorts above them; her sneakers also had a very neon touch with slight tones of pink and orange.

"Nothing wrong, but those seem like you're going to an 80's party. You need to flow with the modern days style" Zipp grabbed Misty by the shoulder, but she didn't understand a word Zipp said. "You know, sporty clothing, brand related t-shirts; oh maybe you could use broken fishnets, they're on trend again... Ugh, i just sound like Pipp, heh, that doesn't fit me at all"

"I appreciate your help... but i like these clothes and i would like to keep these, at least for now" Zipp understood and nod to her. "But i accept that smoothie now" Misty managed to raise a smile on Zipps face, who hold her by the hand and took here to the mall for that she said, smoothies, the silly sunglases stand and Zipp actually made her try modern clothing... and even when didn't liked the clothes people wear these days, Misty enjoyed having fishnet gloved; that actually cauptivated her eyes.

After a few hours they sat at a bench outside the mall, with fresh lemon and strawberry smoothies; Sunny's smoothies are better, but they had to stick with what they had. "You know Misty? You give me some misterious vibes" She said after taking a sip from her smoothie and placing a feet on the bench.

"I do? Is it... bad?" Misty took a large sip from the smoothie from the nerves she got after being said that.

"Everyone needs to be misterious in some way or another" Zipp looked at her. "Look at you, it's like being misterious is part of you; like when you were looking for what you lost"

"You're kinda right" Misty was relieved, she felt like she had a friend that didn't questioned all for her. "I know i am misterious, but it's my fault for not being good at comunicating... maybe if i find Sparky, that will give me more confidence"

"Sparky? I thought it was a thing; you didn't said it was a pet" Zipp was now confused.

"And it's a thing, like a crystal. I've always heard it being called Sparky... but i don't know why" They both think for a second, why a crystal would have that name at all?

"Sounds like something detective Zipp has to solve" Zipp standed up from the bench with an epic pose, Misty clapped admiring the pose. "I'll help you to find it anytime i can"

Misty smiled. "Thank you! I'm glad that you are this nice to me" Misty saw the hour at a clock that was close to a streetlight. "Oh... is that late? I'm sorry Zipp, i have to go; but i had so much fun with you today"

"That's what friends are for. Well see each other again, for sure. See ya!" Zipp waved and walked in the oposite direction of Misty, who had a wide smile on her face.

"Friends? I think i'd love to have that" She thought to herself, while going back to Opaline. Once there she came in as silent as possible, but nothing escapes her ear, Opaline walked out of a room and looked at Misty, who looked up at Opaline slightly scared. "Hey, Opaline. I'm back..."

"You're late, Misty" She came closer to her and hugged her, catching her by surprise. "I was worried something happened to you"

"Really?" Misty asked, with a slight smile on her face.

"Yeah... who else would retreat my beloved gem Sparky if you aren't here"

"Oh... right. Sorry, Opaline. I couldn't find it, i looked everywhere but it's just that i can't find Sunny anywehre... but i did met with Zipp, who is friends with her and i forgot to ask if she knew about the gem..." Misty kept talking for a little until Opaline shut her mouth by placing her hand on the young girl's lips.

"You said that you spedn the afternoon with one of her friends?" Opaline asked, she recieved a nod from Misty. "This gives me an idea... pretend to be friendly with them, try to guess where they hide the gem; because they obviously have it... and once you get it back, then it would be like nothing happened. Opaline Arcana will have endless power once again"

"But wouldn't be that like... lying? I mean, they doesn't seem so bad, you could ask them to give it back to you..."

"Of couse it is lying, Misty... I couldn't ask even if i wanted to. if that pesky rainbow band has returned as you said; then i cannot go close to them. I will get recognized by them" Opaline calmed by taking numerous deep breaths. "Become their friend, i don't care what you do... but retreat my gem!" She demaned to Misty, who once again gulped saliva. Sometimes Misty thinks that Opaline loves that gem more than she does with her, after all she was raised by her... but a what cost?

Chapter 4: Undead Heist

There was a mistery going around, a gem with the power to bring the dead among the living; how is it possible? Why is something with that power out of Equestria? Those are questions that don't leave Twilight's head, something of that power should must stayed on Equestria and guarded by someone but still it ended in a place where almost no one knows about magic and it's consequences.

"Twilight, if you keep staring at that gem your eyes are going to fall. Probably in the literal way" Sunset joked about it.

"But i don't get it. If there were such a powerful gem in Equestria... why is it here? You didn't knew about this existing when you lived there?" Twilight asked as she demanded an answer to the only one that were living there long enough.

"Nope" Sunset didn't needed to say more. "If i knew that it was a thing back when i was... ahem... mean, i would have used it on my advantage; but i've never seen anything like it" She did tried to recall if she saw it at least once in any book of the many that Celestia had in the Canterlot library; then Sunny walked by the girls and saw how they had the crystal in hand. "Sunny... where did you said that you found the crystal?"

"It was on the ground, inside a bush. I guess it was from someone and accidentally dropped it" With that information, Sunny also had qustions now why such gem with that great power was just there. "Now that you mention it, it is very odd"

"Then what are we waiting for? We should get information about it. To the library!" Twilight shouts and approached the staircase; but Sunset hold her but the skirt for a second causing her to trip; hit her chinn on one of the steps popping her head out of the neck and causing a slight panty shot, Twilight's head landed on Sunny's hands.

"I like your enthusiasm but you are forgetting two things. First, Izzy is away so we don't have any way to get the make up, Rarity is not good enough and second... do you really think that they would have a book talking about a gem from a magical pony world?"

"I think it's worth to try" Sunny added, interrupting Sunset for a second and then proceeded to place Twilight's head where it belongs. "It's true, Izzy's not here but you can try to go you two to the library... at night" Twilight and Sunset both arched a eyebrow as they weren't really sure about it. "Your skins are grey, they're hard to spot in the night; but your eyes are a little glowy. If you do right you both can get inside as soon as they close it up. What do you say? We shall give it a try?"

Later that night...

Canterlot High has closed their doors, the guard moved away from the main door to start to patrol all around the place; behind a bush, Sunny, Sunset and Twilight poke their heads to spot when the guard is far enough of the building to sneak up closer without making any noises; Twilight and Sunset just walked without making any noise, while Sunny chose a peculiar outfit for this 'heist'; dark clothing such as a hoodie, black shorts, black pantyhose and dark grey sneakers, copying many moves seen in heists movies.

"I can't believe you convinced us to do this" Twilight said sarcastically.

"I can be very convincing when i try to, ask Hitch; he can confirm"

"Enough talking, come on; we have work to do" As Sunset was one of the most athletic on life, she jumped to the closest window on sight, that was for their surprise open; all three of them had no issue going in, the halls were really dark; the place seemed like very different compared to how it looks when it is daytime; it's atmosphere felt a lot more threatning now than in the day time; but suddenly there was something they weren't expecting, a second guard was inside the building; they could tell as soon as they saw the flashlight iluminating around the place. They hide until the guard walked pass by them.

"Ok, that was something we weren't expecting" Twilight whispered, the least thing they want is to call attention. "Sunny, where's the library?"

Sunny made signals with her hand to make both girls follow her, she's still in movie mode. They library doors were also open and they walked in and then Sunset recalled something of magic portal repairing book from when they were hosts of the Friendship Games; Sunset run to that alley of books and found the portal repairing book, so probably there would be one of gems or crystals of another worlds... and she was actually right, thre was one book about it. The three girls gathered around and smiled to see what the book contains; but for their dissapointment the book pages had holes everywhere making very difficult to read it's content.

"Are you kidding? we find a book about what we need but it's in these conditions?" Sunset got frustrated and dropped the book on the floor with strength.

"Don't worry, i'm sure there are other books" Sunny tried to calm Sunset.

"There aren't others, Sunny!" Sunset cried, she felt tired of Equestrian magic making her life hard. "Look at us, we're monsters... we won't be able to have a life again; in fact we shouldn't even be here"

"I don't care if you're monsters" Sunny said clearly and hugged her tightly. "You're all the nicest i've met and you're here to spread the value of friendship, so you're free to think what you are but i do know what you are" Sunset was being calmed by Sunny's voice; she was a natural speaker. "You're the most cool, epic band i've ever seen and you rock, alie or undead... all of you" Then Twilight also joined the hug, sobbing a little. "Are you crying too?"

"No, this is proud liquid" She tried to hide her emotion on the moment.

"No one move! Show yourselves with your hands up" The guard shouted, the book that Sunset dropped caused him to walk, so they walked with their hands up, being illuminated by the flashlight "Wait... Sunny?"

"Hitch?! What are you doing here?" Sunny asked in surprise

"I could ask you the same, i'm working here now twice a week to earn a little money" He said proudly of himself. "But that doesn't answer why are you three in here" That caused Twilight to readjust her glasses to speak for them.

"We came here to find propper information about the crystal that brought us back to life; but we didn't had much luck on that, the book had holes all over the pages. We shall go now" They were kind of lucky that Hitch was the one that found them, they all leaved the library; Hitch leading the way to the same window they used to go in, but someone else was there and with a relieved sigh walked out of one of the shelves.

"Well... that was close" Misty was also there, reading some older books; she was the reason why the window was open as she went in first than anyone else before; a little bit curious that they all had the same idea to go in there to have a read of information. "I should go back before Opaline finds out that i-" She tried to open the library door, but it was closed, with the key... she was trapped inside woth no way out. "Uh oh!"

Chapter 5: Misty's Library Night

Misty was trapped, the Library's door closed behind them and it wouldn't open until the early morning. She was hyperventilating, she wouldn't know how Opaline would react at her absesnce and she should get out of there as soon as possible. Misty tried to search for a way out, she found a ventilation... but it was too small for her to fit inside and there is no other door that could be forgotten to be open.

"Oh no... this is bad! Opaline is going to be really mad at me; this is not ok!" Her worries took over her mind, while her breathing were getting heavier each second; looking around her constantly. She remembered she was in a library, Canterlot High's library; she may find something about the Rainbooms. "Maybe, if i can find information... That would be good for her"

She looked for the yearbooks section, Canterlot High has a copy of each since a year they decided it was a good idea to keep a yearbook of everything happening; before it also became something more than just a high school. Misty took one of the books and after opening it... it was a little far in time as they depicted Sunset as a strange behaviour girl; that asked for daisy sandwiches, whatever that meaned. The next yearbook, spoke first about the magical intercourse they found with students getting powers or mass mind control.

"Wow, they went through a lot" Misty kept reading yearbooks, finding about when they confronted evil singers, a principal with bad game behavior, a camp director consumed by the power of magic... basically everything they went against were people consumed by the power of magic that went a little out of hand. "Magic looks scary..." Misty thought to herself, before grabbing another yearbook and finding out a yearbook where she spotted a picture of Opaline with a little story underneath.

"A misterious woman appeared at Canterlot High, with airs of greatnes and calling herself the one we should admire. She just said the name 'Arcana' and nothing else but a warning that as soon as they leave their guard down, everything would be as it should

Misty was confused, Opaline stated that no one took her seriously at CHS when she showed her power; but there was no mention of that use of power at any point. What to believe? She liked the Rainbooms, she's fine with Sunny and their friends doing their things for friendship and unity, she hold the yearbook against her chest and her knees presing against it too; she needs advice but who to get it from? She had the perfect one, but she still had to wait until morning to the library to open the doors, also she couldn't sleep.

She left the yearbook on the shelf and walked around the library, spotting old pictures of Canterlot High and relatively old newspapers; the one on top had a title of a lost child about fifteen years ago and that couldn't be found, Misty felt bad for that poor child and it's family after reading that, kinda felt familiar... then a sudden flashback filled her mind, she was just there walking by in a foggy street; suddenly a huge shine blinds her before the flashback ends.

"W-wha...What just happened?" Misty got shocked, she wasn't expecting a flashback, she was holding at a table; as she got scared by it she preffered to not do anything else and just wait until the early morning to get out of the library.

Finally morning arrived, Misty heard the keys opening the library doors; she sneaked her way out so no one knew she was there; but she needed to find one person to help her with a doubt she has. She walked te halls in search of Zipp, who so far has been the one that talked to her more; she saw her at her locker and runned towards her enthusiastic. "Zipp!" She called her, who closed the locker and saw Misty running closer to her.

"Well, if it isn't the misterious Misty" She joked on her, making her stop where she was and make an awkward smile. "Heh, calm down. I'm just messing with you. Fancy seeing you here, haven't seen you since you came to the performance made a few weeks back"

"Oh, that's because i come here to the library mostly and i study at home" She wasn't lying at all, Opaline teached her since she was younger and she escapes when she has some time to be in the library and read some books that Opaline may not let her for any reason she could give her. "I kinda need an advice, because something weird happened to me; it was so sudden that i don't know what to do"

"I'm all ears, tell me what it is about" Zipp's voice was welcoming, she lead misty to a close by bench; then she started to tell her everything she saw on her slight vision and her overall worries. Misty's eyes looked down at the floor, she forgot she was wearing the clothes that she bought with Zipp, arching a grin on her face. "Misty... i'm really glad you talked with me. Did you had something like that before?"

"No, it's the first time and i don't know what it even means" Frustration grew a little on Misty, as she felt different since the moment she saw the Rainbooms and knew about their secret because of Opaline. "Zipp, i'm not sure what i'm feeling. I've ben told things but they're not as i expected and... i'm not sure what to think of!" She took her hands to the head and then felt Zipp's arms around her, a very welcoming hug.

"You've been through much, didn't you?" Zipp asked and then Misty broke into tears but without any cries, just silent tears running down her face; there was such kindness in the world? How didn't she knew about it earlier? She felt comfortable and hold Zipp's hand and pushed them a little tighter to her, if that's what hugs where; Misty didn't wanted it to end.

"Zipp!" It was Pipp, she shouted from the other side of the hall and ran all the way to where zip was. "There you are sis, did you forgot that we have a practice with the band in... oh, my; sorry i didn't knew you were recomforting someone" Pipp apologized to Misty, she recognized her because Zipp mentioned her earlier a few days back. "I'm sorry, i get too much excited when it comes to music related things. It's good to finally meet you"

Misty cleaned the tears from her face. "It's ok, also nice to meet you as well" Misty smiled to her, while Pipp hold Zipp to drag her to the music room; Misty jumped off the bench and looked at them. "W-wait... could i join you?" She asked to the sisters, Pipp's face went from sudden shock to a wide smile.

"Well girl of course! Come here!" Pipp called Misty with her small singy tone she makes when she's happy, the shy girl joined both and then reached the music room; where all the Rainbooms where, chatting and giggling over things, Sunny had problems to keep her eyes open froms taying awake on the last night. Misty knew the Rainbooms secret and much more than they would know at first sight, but she had no plan on telling them... after all she felt like she was in a more welcoming home than her actual home, what does she have to believe now?

Chapter 6: A Gem Named Sparky

Sunset and Sunny were walking around letting the sun heat their skins a little bit, Sunset didn't really felt how hot the sun were. She really did still wanted to have an answer on the origin of the gem that grant their lifes back never left her head's inner thoughts, although she is enjoying her concerts and spending time with everyone else; but how did a gem like that ended in that realm? And what about the origin?

"You've been making that face for a week now, what's munching that undead breain of yours?" Sunny teasingly asked to Sunset.

"I don't even know if i have a functional brain... it's all of that gem and how misterios it is. Back in Equestria i knew about magic capable of turning others into shadows, changing genders and even making ponies walk in clouds" Sunset took a break between words, Sunny didn't recalled her naming that Equestria before. "But... i've never heard of magic capable of making other's return to life"

"What is that Equestria? You never have mentioned it before" Sunny was utterly curious, especially when she heard the word of ponies and magic tied up in the same sentence. "If it is not much trouble of course"

"Well... it is interesting to say the least, it is kinda like this world but reigned by ponies: Earth ponies, pegasus and unicorns. The only ones above them are alicorns, with most powerfull magic that ever existed." Sunny's eyes glimmered over that short explanation Sunset gave. "Obvious magic was a deal there and sometimes it crossed over boundaries making me and my friends fight to make it stop"

"I would have gave so much to see it with my own eyes" Sunny's voice reflected her excitement. "There has been videos around the net that showed some of those days but there were some people saying that they were edited... i always thought that they had something especial on them"

Sunset hold Sunny closer to her by holding her by the left shoulder. "And they had, because it was all thanks to my friends that were beside me." Sunny's next phrase were just a simple 'Aww' as she always have been someone that loved how others showed their friendship, but then she remembered something and her eyes widen completely gasping loudly in the process. "Wow... what happened'"

"I just remembered... there's another library" Sunset's eyes widen as well, without a word her sight was asking where is it. "Follow me!" And then Sunny tugged from Sunset's arm unpluggig it from the rest of the body, she quicky realized and gave it back before someone else could see it.

They arrived the library that Sunny went at first to find Izzy, she quite didn't actually went to read books so they didn't knew what kind of things they would find on there, as her previous visit only consisted on a challenge by the librarian, a huge man that also had good hand with teas, as they went inside they saw this man holding what it looked liked to be a photo with a sad look in his eyes that vanished as soon as he saw both Sunny and Sunset.

"Ahem, what can i do for you girls?" He kindly asked quickly hiding the frame on a pocket and made a big smile when he saw Sunny. "Are you looking for a challenge again? You can't beat me at all" he joked but Sunny just smiled to hide her obvious anger as she still doesn't know how he won all the games played when they first met.

"I'm not here for that" Sunny's smile could mean that she could kill him in a blink as she was still angry at him, she quickly made a deep breath to calm herself down. "We're looking for some information on a certai topic. I guess that you wouldn't have a section related to... uhm... magical gems?"

"What do you think?" He said very serious, both girls worried. "Third bookshelf on the right of the stairs, good luck on your research!"

Both girls went upstairs, but Sunset's eyes glanced to the photo that she could see peaking out of the pocket, wondering what or who was in it that made such a big man show a sad look like he had. But that was not the time for that, they found the said bookshelf full of books some of them almost impossible to take out of it because of the ammount, they were a bit over the stock of books, they hurried to read as many as possible so they wouldn't need to stay for too long or about the time that the library would be about to close.

They spent about thirty minutes reading books, and yet they still got nothing, Sunset felt like her eyes could pop out of the sockets at any time after reading for too long, that was more of a Twilight thing, she would have preffered to take the challenge from Alphabittle, she was about to give up unti when reading one of the next books she saw the description that was exactly to the one that Sunny gave to her earlier.

"Sunny, i found it!" She calimed in a loud whisper, Sunny then leaned closer to her. "Known as the Dragon Spark, this gem is known for the capacity it has for granting wishes; it is also said that this gem resembles a dragon scale. This gem is powerfull enough to shapeshift stuff, make impossible things such as giving long life as a wish, as long as the owner keeps it

"So that's why you came back! The gem has a strong power and can grant wishes. If it has no limits on what wishes can grant, then it explains a lot" She confidently said with a wide smile all over her face. "Oh, that's a nice Sparky"

"Did you just named the gem Sparky?" And Sunny nod, Sunset giggled softly. "Where is it now?"

"I have it stored inside a chest in my room. This is so exciting" She sounded like a squeeking toy, she got shushed by the rest of the librarian users, the went back downstairs and headed into the exit but Sunset stoped for a second. "Sunset? You comming?"

"Just a second.. i'll be right there" She walked closer to Alphabittle and looked into the photo that still was showing from the pocket. "That photo you have in your pocket... is of someone important to you?" Sunset calmly asked, the big man looked back at her into her aquamarine looking eyes, vey relaxing kind of eyes.

"It is important, i don't know where she is now but... i hope she's fine." She showed the photo to Sunset, it was a little girls with a very puffy and curly hair, Sunset recalls to have seen her before but she desn't hit quite where. "She was the most beautifull, my little sunshine. I miss her so much"

"Don't worry, i'm sure she's fine" She hold his hand expecting to see into his mind and probably be able to hear her voice, she may have changed it but Sunset could have a hint on how she could sound, but nothing happened, after all those were powers granted by stones that they didn't had anymore. "I kinda now the feeling of not having your family... i sometimes miss my parents too; especially because i treated them wrongly. You're a good man, you will find her"

"Thank you, that's really sweet of you. I'm sure you'll also get good with your parents" Then Sunset felt a sting in her heart and her feelings, but kept the smile so she didn't cause worry on him, as he was already too much worried about her daughter, she just waved and got out of the library, Sunny then felt how Sunset grabbed her shirt, her teeth gritting in frustration when she realized that she never went back to Equestria to tell her parents, that she was sorry for being a bad daughter, for fleeing to another universe... that chance is long gone forever.
