Chapter 1

Over the past six weeks, Fun Time Rush were performing concerts and selling out stadiums from city to city throughout their worldwide tour.

In Baltimare, the news reporter interviewed the boys , “So tell me. How's your first tour?”

Mind Tempo answered, “It's awesome. We love performing so close to the fans.”

“Oh, and I love performing so close to the food court!” Cloudburst exclaimed and ate corndogs in front of the camera.

In Chicoltgo, the boys held up fan signs to reply their fans. It read, “FTR ❤️'s U!”

In Fillydelphia, they were interviewed at the state fair. The farmer announced in front of the camera with Beryl, Diamond and Cloudburst, “And if you get to the state fair today, Fillydelphia, you'll get a free concert by Fun Time Crush!”

“Rush!” Diamond Glow corrected the interviewer.

“Right,” The farmer nodded. “And enter a chance to win their autographed pig.”

Mind Tempo had a difficult time signing the autographed pig, Layla, due to moving around. “Oh, Layla! Wait one second. Wait, Layla!”

After their six weeks of touring around the states, it was over and the boy band moved back to Canterlot.

The next day, Fun Time Rush were heading back at the mall and entered the doors, celebrating.

“Oh, there's no place like home!” Mind Tempo said in relief and knelt down to kiss the floor.

Cloudburst agreed, “Yeah!”

“Hey!” Diamond Glow called everyone in the hallway. “Fun Time Rush is back!” He announced and the rest of his pals cheered.

However, everyone ignored them and nothing changed when they left. No welcome back party and no recognition except the new people in Canterlot.

“Huh? Who are all these people?” Cloudburst asked.

Then, Mr. Cranky Doodle walked up to them and dryly answered, “It's Fall and all the new kids with new dreams have arrived. Woo.”

Seconds later, Ms. Cheerilee walked up to them, “Welcome back! You've missed three weeks of school.” From there, she passed out some books and homework to the boy band, “You're behind on your book reports, all your math homework, your science projects, and they're all due tomorrow.”

Mind Tempo screamed in terror, panicking.

Beryl Fury calmed his pals down, assuring them, “Guys, guys, chillax. The tour is over. We're back at Canterlot and everything is going to be alright because it's Friday.”

The boys all calmed down until Beryl saw his girlfriend, Shining Star, walking with a new, handsome guy in the hallway.

“If you think you can steal me from my old boyfriend, you're right.”

After the two left, the boys looked at a frozen Beryl until he fainted.

Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah!

Minutes later, the boys arrived back at home as Tempo’s mother, Gloria, was getting the corn dogs and tater tots on the tray out of the oven with her oven mitts.

“Well, the quiet was nice, but I did miss my boys.” Gloria said and put all the food on Cloudburst’s bowl.

“And I missed your home cooking!” Cloudburst gasped and squealed until he started eating his lunch.

Mind Tempo replied, “How can you be happy? Look at all the work we had to do tomorrow!”

Tempo’s sister, Virtue, replied, “I am impressed, though. I figured you'd be all freaked out and yelly.”

Her brother sarcastically chuckled, “Oh, you mean like this?” Tempo stood up and showed them a demonstration of being freaked out.

Suddenly, Diamond Glow popped underneath the table wearing all black clothing with his black bandana. He stated, “This time we're gonna announce our presence with more authority.”

Everyone stood silent while Diamond Glow looked around. “NOBODY EVEN SAID HI! WE are popular here, okay? Now who's with me?”

Then, Cloudburst popped underneath the table with black clothing as well while holding his corn dogs. “I'm in!”

Tempo and his family were confused on how Cloudburst did that trick.

Cloudburst continued, “We need to reestablish our Canterlot cred with the new kids.”

Diamond and Cloudburst fist bumped while Tempo informed his pals, “We need to finish these projects,” He showed them the science display board. “See this blank science display board right here? It's blank!”

“Hey, has everyone noticed Beryl might be dead?” Virtue spoke up and everyone noticed Beryl lying back on the couch.

“I'm freakin' out!” Beryl replied

Gloria helped him sit up, “Beryl, I have always liked Star, and this does not sound like her. And if you want to be in a relationship with someone, trust is your number one priority.”

Beryl understood her and stood up from the couch.

“Now go find her,” Gloria snapped her fingers and ordered her daughter to open the door. “Be open with her, and just ask her what's going on. And if something is going on, I always hated her.”

Gloria pushed Beryl out of the house and Virtue closed the door until Tempo’s girlfriend, Watermelody, kicked the door down, making Gloria and Virtue startled.

Tempo, Diamond, and Cloudburst saw Watermelody panting for air.

Watermelody asked, “Where is he?”

Mind Tempo told her, “Okay, no, Watermelody. Please, not now. I have a lot of work to do and I'm freaked...”

Watermelody screamed happily and ran towards him.

“OOOOOUUUTTT!” Tempo screamed in terror while Watermelody tackled him and kissed him multiple times.

“Finally, someone around here that knows us!” Diamond satisfyingly said while Cloudburst continued eating his corn dog.

Meanwhile, Beryl was at the park with his tree hat on, spying at her girlfriend and the new guy on the bench.

“Well I am not so sure about this new town, but I am sure glad I met you.” Beryl was triggered as the new guy tried to kiss her.

Shining Star blocked him, “No. I told you. It's… It's just wrong.”

Beryl sighed in relief until Virtue came along with her tree hat. “See, she still has the hots for you.”

Then, the guy stood up and lifted Shining Star up, caressing her in his arms, “But it's so right.”

Virtue stated, “Then again, you were gone for six weeks, and that guy is way better looking than you.”

The new guy and Shining Star were about to kiss until Beryl shouted, “Whoa!”

The two stopped to see Beryl and he ran to Shining Star, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What is this? How could you? Who's the dude? Girl supposed to kiss me boy!”

The dude replied, “Uh…”

“Back off.”

“Uh…” Shining Star showed her boyfriend the script, “This is a scene from my script. I could, because I got a leading role for the new romance show on TV. The dude is my co-star, Feather Bangs, who plays my love interest in the show and I was gonna surprise you with the news when you got back, but you're back. So…” She kissed Beryl on the cheek, “Surprise.”

Beryl answered, “Okay. That explains a lot.”

Shining Star asked, “Were you spying on us?”

“Nope,” Beryl took off his tree hat.

Feather Bangs introduced himself, “Beryl. Hi, I'm Feather Bangs.”

Suddenly, Virtue ran out of nowhere and jumped onto him, making Feather Bangs carry her while Pinkie Pie watched from afar, eating her cupcake. “Hi, I'm Virtue. I manage hot talent for TV and movies. I'm also a modeling agent and avaliable for limited dating in six years. Wait for me.”

“Oh, look at the time,” Feather joked and gave Beryl back his friend. “Uh, Star, we're gonna be late for that photo shoot.”

Shining Star remembered, “Oh, right. Beryl, do you want to come to make sure nothing's going on?”

Beryl replied, “No. I trust you.”

Feather and Star walked away to go to their photo shoot. Shining Star waved back and smiled at her boyfriend.

Beryl waved back and smiled his girlfriend back. “I trust her, right?”

Pinkie Pie popped up and ate her cupcake, “I wouldn't. 'Cause that guy is way better looking than you.”

Meanwhile at the pool, Diamond and Cloudburst sat on their table playing their music loud on the jukebox to get some recognition.

“How long has it been?” Cloudburst asked.

Diamond answered, “30 seconds.” He stopped playing the radio, “And nobody has come over to say "Hi" or "Hey" or, "We're new at Canterlot and we heard you guys rule at the pool.”

Then, Twilight and Spike walked up to them and Twilight answered, “Or these kids have been here for six weeks while you were on tour. So to them, you're the new guys.” Spike then directed the guys to the kids nearby the pool, “Yeah, see those guys over there investigating that stain? They are the new members of our CHS Forensics Club and they are always in character.”

Diamond and Cloudburst did not care about them. Diamond said, “No matter how big they are, they should know us and want to hang with us. We're Fun Time Rush! We autographed a pig!”

“Yeah, but I mean, I didn't hang out with you guys until I found out how crazy you are with your fire pit jams, parties, and general youthful antics.”

“That's it,” Cloudburst got an idea, “I know what to do.” He put his hockey helmet on and ran away. Diamond nodded, but he had no clue where he went.

Cloudburst screamed and dived into the pool with a big splash. “Whoo-hoo!” He laughed while Diamond helped him up from the pool. “Did it work?”

Twilight stated, “Well, you got their attention. But now they hate you.”

Everyone around the pool got wet and they all yelled angrily at the two boys, blaming them.

“Sorry,” Cloudburst sheepishly apologized while Diamond facepalmed.

Meanwhile, the assistant manager, Shelly Shores, and Mind Tempo arrived at Ms. Cheerilee’s classroom with Tempo carrying all the paperwork.

Mind Tempo told the teacher, “Come on, Ms. Cheerilee. We can't get all this work done by tomorrow.”

Ms. Cheerilee answered, “Well, I could give you an extension, but CHS rules states that you cannot do any activities until all of your assignments are complete with at least a C+ average.”

Shelly Shores spoke up, “Whoa, whoa. Nobody informed me about this.”

“Yes, I did. I sent all the information, emailed all the assignments, and was told everything was taken care of.”

“Really, by who?” Shelly questioned Ms. Cheerilee.

Back at Golden Rock Records, Shelly shouted at her manager, “ARE YOU NUTS?!”

The owner and manager of Golden Rock records, Golden Rock, explained to her, “I didn't tell the boys about school because I needed them to focus on the tour, and I didn't tell you because you would just yell at me, like you just did there.”

Shelly Shores stated, “Yeah, but if they don't get all of their schoolwork done by tomorrow, they can't work.”

Mind Tempo agreed, “Yeah, no rehearsals, no recordings, no concerts.”

Golden Rock replied, “Annnnd who cares? I need a break from you dogs. So take your time and do your homework, because the tour is over.”

Then, Filthy Rich entered Golden Rock’s office, “Swell news, everyone. The tour is not over. Because tomorrow, Fun Time Rush is performing at the Starswirl Music Festival.”

“You got FTR on the music festival? How?!”

Filthy Rich answered, “With a little wheeling, a little dealing, and poison. Now why do Shelly and Tempo look worried?”

Mind Tempo and Shelly Shores were frozen in worry, not saying a word.

Golden Rock rushed over to them, “No, they are not worried! They just can't believe that the Starswirl Music Festival is already here!” He lifted Tempo’s arm up and voiced over him, “Hurray! I love Starswirl Music Festival! Hurray!”

“Good, and don't let me down. Remember, Fun Time Rush, Starswirl, poison.” Filthy Rich exited Golden’s office.

Golden Rock voiced over Shelly and grabbed her arm, “Oh, no! What are we gonna do?” He made Shelly facepalm with her hand.

Back at the pool, the new members from the CHS Forensics Club were in character again.

The girl said, “It's hard to tell how long the bodies have been laying there.”

“They're cold. Real cold.” The guy with the hat stated.

Cloudburst and Diamond Glow were laying down near the pool and Diamond exclaimed, “We've been here for almost a year, which is almost longer than you guys.”

“Yeah, and we're cold because you new kids took all of our chairs and towels,” Cloudburst added and everyone at the pool had towels.

The guy with the shades stated, “Well then, I guess this case is all,” He and his crew wrapped themselves with towels, “Wrapped up.”

Diamond and Cloudburst stood up in frustration until the Dazzlings showed up.

Adagio said, “Happens every year.”

Sonata continued, “The newbies arrive full of dreams to take over the town.”

“And try to steal your pool cred,” Aria finished.

The two boys put their shirts back on and stood up. “We're listening.”

“You've got to nip it in the bud. Watch.” Adagio and her sisters walked towards the three new girls at the Dazzlings’ table and showed the boys a little demonstration.

Sonata congratulated them, “Congratulations. You convinced your parents to move you to Canterlot.”

Aria continued, “And now you're ready to move this town with your talent in acting, singing, or whatever.”

Adagio threatened the new girls, “Now move your butts off our table, go back to where you came from, because you peaked at homecoming queen.”

The new girls cried and ran away from the pool. Diamond and Cloudburst were not pleased to see that and walked towards the Dazzlings.

The girls sat at their table and said, “See.”

“Yeah, but that was kind of mean,” Cloudburst stated.

“Hey, if you want to rule this pool,” Aria said.

Adagio finished, “You got to do it with an iron fist.”

The Dazzlings pointed their fingers and the boys looked towards the two new kids sitting on their chairs. Diamond and Cloudburst looked at each other and agreed to listen to their advice. They put their headgear on and started wrapping their fists, walked towards the new guys listening to their music with their headphones until Diamond and Cloudburst realized something.

Cloudburst told his pal, “I don't like making people cry.”

Diamond replied, “Me either.”

The two FTR guys groaned and walked away to find a better way to get recognized.

Meanwhile, Beryl was using a computer at the mall to do some research until Virtue came by.

Virtue walked up to him, “Shouldn't you be upstairs working on your science project?”

“I'm doing research,” Beryl answered and Virtue checked what he's doing.

“Your research is on Feather Bangs?”

Beryl explained, “He's dated every one of his co-stars.”

“That's not the worst part,” Virtue handed Beryl the script of his girlfriend’s show. “Page 13, Shining Star plays Rachel and Feather is Jake.”

Beryl read the script and found something, the part where they kissed. He gasped, “They kiss?”

He looked at Virtue and told him, “Keep reading.” Beryl read the kissing part and it was five pages long.

“FOR FIVE PAGES?!” Beryl freaked out.

Then, Feather walked by while calling Star on the phone. “Yeah, the photo shoot went great, and we're shooting the kissing scene tonight.” He hung up and walked up to Beryl while Virtue crossed her arms. “I should probably warm up my lips. I want this scene to be hot.” Feather started moaning, imaging himself with Star kissing with his lips for the scene. “Mwah!”

Virtue and Beryl were disgusted by Feather’s facial expression until he stopped and walked away. However, he walked back to tell Beryl, “By the way, I'm WAY better looking than you.”

Feather walked away while Beryl cried and put his head down in worry.

Chapter 2

Back at Mind Tempo's house, Mind Tempo was still working on homework while Golden and Shelly got the science projects done.

Golden Rock exclaimed, “All right, three weeks of CHS schoolwork a-done.”

Shelly presented Tempo the finished science projects for Beryl, Diamond, and Cloudburst.

“Uh, one problem. We didn't do it,” Tempo said.

“Yeah, well, do you see Beryl, Diamond, or Cloudburst anywhere?” Shelly questioned him.

“And how are you going to explain Ms. Cheerilee how we got three weeks of schoolwork done in two hours?”

“We'll tell her it was a Starswirl miracle. And she will believe me because she is stupid.” Golden stated while Shelly opened the door until everyone saw Ms. Cheerilee outside, crossing her arms and staring daggers at Golden Rock.

While Tempo cringed, Shelly told her, “He made me do it.”

“Mr. Rock, I encourage students to help each other with difficult assignments,” Ms. Cheerilee started pushing the table back, “But I do not accept internet-purchased science projects, rented book reports,” She then pulled out the math homework on the table, “And how did you get this math done so fast?”

Shelly admitted, “We hired Micro Chips, Scribble Dee, Wiz Kid, and Bright Idea to do it.”

The four teens nervously smiled and waved at the teacher, crossing her arms.

“Perhaps a ticket to the music festival will change your mind,” Golden handed the ticket to Ms. Cheerilee.

Ms. Cheerilee received the ticket and answered, “They won't.”

Golden groaned, “Ah, gosh!”

“And if you want the boys to perform at the Starswirl Music Festival, their work is due TOMORROW!” Ms. Cheerilee walked towards the door as Mind Tempo put his head down. “And must average a C+.” She slammed the door and closed it.

Everyone in the room did not like the sound of that until Shelly suggested, “Tempo has to do the projects.”

“What?” Tempo reacted.

Shelly reminded him, “The other guys are AWOL and Ms. Cheerilee "encourages" students to help each other.”

Mind Tempo replied, “It's impossible.”

Micro raised his hand, “Can I get a say on this?”

Golden Rock, Mind Tempo, and Shelly Shores shouted in unison, “NO!”

While Micro put his hand down, Golden Rock explained to Tempo, “900 years ago, the pilgrims came to this great land of ours in search of freedom. The freedom...to rock!”

Mind Tempo corrected him, “Pilgrims came seeking religious freedom.”

Golden yelled, “THESE ARE DIFFERENT PILGRIMS! Until today, we celebrate the bravery of those head-banging pioneers for one month! The Starswirl Music Festival. Now...are you gonna sit there and GIVE UP? Or are you gonna grab a number two pencil, strap on your thinking cap, and save the music festival?!”

Mind Tempo stood up and answered, “I'll need report covers, a glue stick, a protractor, green glitter number three, and 19 high-energy sports drinks.”

Golden, Shelly and the four math teens celebrated, “Yes!”

Meanwhile, Beryl and Star were having lunch together at the park.

“So, you read the script?” Shining Star asked him.

Beryl answered, “Yes. Plus, Feather dates every one of his co-stars.”

“I don't like him. I like you.”

“Yeah…” Beryl replied.

“Hey, I trusted you those weeks you were gone. And you got girls holding up "I heart Beryl" signs.”

Beryl answered back, “But I didn't kiss them.”

“And I'm not kissing Feather Bangs. My character, Rachel, is kissing Jake. Come to the set. You'll see the whole thing is totally professional and doesn't mean a thing.”

“Fine. I'll go,” Beryl accepted her invitation. “Because I am totally professional too. It's just Rachel making out with Jake, not you and Feather. Easy.” While Shining Star was putting lipstick on for the scene, Beryl requested, “Could you stop that please?”

Back at the community pool area, Cloudburst and Diamond Glow dragged Flash Sentry with his acoustic guitar and Sunset Shimmer and placed them on the couch

Flash Sentry asked, “Okay, what's the plan here?”

Diamond discussed everyone the first half of the plan, “You play Halfway There then we all sing.”

“And then everyone joins in for one of our famous fire pit jam sessions,” Cloudburst continued.

Sunset replied, “They love you, and you rule the pool again.”

Cloudburst and Diamond said in unison, “Shpingo!” They sat on the couch between Flash and Sunset before Diamond and Cloudburst ordered, “Now play!”

“One, two. One, two…”

Flash and his pals were interrupted by Vinyl and another new guy who had brown curly hair, a yellow collared shirt, and jeans. He was rocking out the music on top of the giant speakers.

“And who's this dude?” Diamond Glow asked.

Flash answered, “That's Cheese Sandwich. Just like Pinkie, he knows how to party and start a party.”

The CHS Forensics Club smiled, “Cheese Sandwich is rocking out the pool!”

Cheese Sandwich jumped off the speakers and dived into the pool, creating a big splash. Diamond and Cloudburst were gobsmacked while Flash and Sunset picked up some umbrellas to protect themselves until the two guys got wet.

Flash lifted his umbrella and informed the boys, “He does that every day.”

Diamond exclaimed, “THAT'S IT! We gotta throw a party!”

Cloudburst pointed out, “And we got to get those unitards.”

Sunset shook her head, “Don't do that.”

Meanwhile, everyone on set was preparing to shoot a scene for a TV show between Shining Star and Feather Bangs while Beryl watched to make sure nothing’s going on between them.

Shining Star followed the script, “There's something weird about this town. They don't want us here.”

Feather followed, “But I want to be here with you.”

The two looked at each other and were ready to kiss until Beryl pretended to sneeze on his shoulder.

“Cut!” The director shouted and everyone glared at Beryl.

Beryl apologized, “Sorry, my bad. Continue.”

“Lakeside High, make out scene, take two.”

The director signaled, “Action!”

“But I want to be here with you.” Feather said before he and Star were going to kiss until Beryl accidentally bumped the boom mic, making it hit Feather and interrupting the scene again.

“OW!”

“Cut!” The director shouted again before looking at Beryl again.

Beryl apologized again, “Sorry. Won't happen again.”

The crew member angrily shouted, “Make out scene. Take 25!”

The director signaled again, “Action!”

Feather and Star were ready to kiss until they were cockblocked again for the 25th time by Beryl who blasted the air horn and everyone on set was frustrated and angry.

“CUT!!!” The director shouted, throwing the script down.

Beryl looked around with worry and pretended, “Oh, I'm sorry. I picked up the wrong item. I was going to grab a smoothie. My bad.”

Canter had enough of Beryl’s shenanigans and ordered security to kick him out.

“I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was a mistake! All right!” Beryl apologized and the two security guards kicked him out of the set. They locked the door and Beryl pleaded, “No! No! Please let me in! I promise I'll be quiet!”

The bell rang and the scene started rolling again. Feather resumed his line onscreen, “But I want to be here with you.”

Star and Feather kissed while Beryl groaned, “Ah…”

Then, Virtue unexpectedly popped out of the recycle bin and watched the scene on TV. She said, “Nobody is that good an actress.”

Star and Feather continued kissing and Beryl complained, “Nobody can hold their breath for THAT LONG!” He facepalmed after that.

Back at Mind Tempo’s house, Tempo was almost done with the math homework while Golden and Shelly helped.

“5.87 greater than…SPORTS DRINK!” Tempo ordered and Golden Rock poured his drink to his mouth. “WHOO!” Tempo cheered after he drank his beverage and resumed working, “14.7, 23π. Science station!” He signaled and everyone headed to the next station.

Everyone put their goggles on and Tempo wondered, “Can a watermelon power a device to make perfect toast?” Tempo plugged in the watermelon to the toaster and waited for the toaster to work while Golden and Shelly crossed their fingers. Seconds later, it did not work.

Golden told him, “It didn't make toast.”

Tempo explained, “Exactly. That was my hypothesis. Watermelons can't make toast.”

Shelly commented, “That is a horrible science project.”

“I'm only going for a C+! Book report!” Tempo signaled and the two adults gave him a book to read. “Turn!” He said and Shelly turned the page.

Gloria walked by and asked her son, “Shouldn't the other guys be doing some of the work, son?”

Tempo assured his mother, “Oh, don't worry. They will. Turn!” He signaled and Shelly turned the page again.

Back at the park, Beryl was sitting on the bench with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, feeling bad about what happened earlier. Shining Star arrived and saw her boyfriend holding flowers as a sign of forgiveness. She smiled and walked towards him.

Beryl admitted, “I think dating in Canterlot is a little more complicated than in Vanhoover.”

Shining Star sat down next to her boyfriend and told him, “There is nothing going on between me and Feather.”

“And I believe you. I swear,” Beryl stated, putting his hands up.

“Good. Then I'm gonna put my stuff down. Go get us both some drinks and then you can tell me about the tour.” Star left to get some ice cream in the park.

Then, Star’s phone chirped and Beryl looked at the text from Feather Bangs.

Feather Bangs: I feel the same way about you.

Beryl read, “I feel the same way about you.” He picked up the phone until he remembered the advice from Virtue, Daisy, and Pinkie.

“Trust is number one.”

“Nobody is that good an actress.”

“That guy is way better looking than you.”

Beryl then realized that Virtue, Daisy, and Pinkie was standing next to him. He questioned them, “What are you guys doing here?”

Pinkie answered, “I was just taking a stroll around the park.”

Daisy replied, “I'm heading to the gym.”

Virtue said, “Moral support.”

As Beryl’s girlfriend came back with sodas on her hands, Beryl told them, “Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!”

Daisy, Virtue, and Pinkie scurried away until Star saw her phone on Beryl’s hand.

“Is that my phone?” Star asked.

Beryl stood up and quoted from Feather’s text, “"I feel the same way about you." What does Feather feel the same way about?”

Star put down the drinks and took her phone back to look at her texts.

Feather Bangs: Wow, what a great day on set!

Shining Star: I know. BTW, you are a really gifted actor.

Feather Bangs: I feel the same way about you.

She read the texts to Beryl, “"Feather: Wow, what a great day on set! Star: I know. BTW, you are a really gifted actor. Feather: I feel the same way about you."”

Beryl was taken by surprise after Star showed him the texts. He replied, “And that's exactly what I thought.” Star put her phone away and Beryl begged her, “Can we just forget all of this ever happened?”

Shining Star grabbed her stuff and told him, “I think you should just forget about me.”

After hearing those words, Beryl felt sad and heartbroken as Shining Star walked away. Then, his best friends came by with bags of party items and party hats on their heads.

“Ooh, tough break, buddy,” Diamond told him. “We'll find you a new girlfriend…”

Cloudburst continued, “At our welcome back party. Trust us, you'll have a fun time there and you can forget about everything that happened. Now let's…”

“Party!” Diamond and Cloudburst cheered in unison. “Ooh-ooh!”

They brought Beryl along and exited the park. While heading towards Diamond’s house, Diamond said, “By now, the noobs know about Quibble's no-party rule.”

Cloudburst added, “But that never stopped Fun Time Rush, and that's why everyone's gonna come to our…”

“Great. You got here fast,” A member of the CHS Forensics Club said. “Hey everybody, delivery guys are here.” The party-goers cheered and took FTR’s party stuff, bringing it to Cheese’s house. The guy with shades on from the CHS Forensics Club told them, “Looks like the music festival came early this year. WHOO!”

The Forensics Club went back to the party until Cheese Sandwich showed up. “WHOO! Boopity-boppity! Beepity-bop!” He took their party hats and went back inside his house. “YEAH-AH!” Fun Time Rush approached the house and saw Cheese’s awesome party with Vinyl playing music from her turntables. Diamond and Cloudburst were amazed until the door was closed on them.

Minutes later, the three boys arrived back at Tempo’s house and they were feeling sad.

“I am so sad,” Diamond commented.

Then, an awfully, worn out Tempo grabbed his friends to their finished science projects.

“Write 25/63 here,” Tempo ordered and Diamond wrote the fraction on the paper. “Write C-L-O-U-D-B-U-R-S-T here,” Tempo ordered, dragging Cloudburst there before Cloudburst started writing his name on his paper. After that, he dragged Beryl to his science project. “Pour this…” Tempo gave him a bottle of bleach before covering his mouth with his arm to cough. “On that.”

Beryl looked at the plants read the title of his science project, “"Does Bleach Effect Plant Growth?"”

Golden Rock and Shelly Shores appeared behind the table of science projects. They shouted in unison, “WE JUST NEED A C+!”

“Just do it!” Tempo ordered.

Beryl shrugged and poured bleach onto the plants.

The next morning, Fun Time Rush delivered their science projects to Ms. Cheerilee’s classroom with Golden and Shelly watching.

“Beryl Fury. C+.” Ms. Cheerilee told him, giving him his grade.

“Yes!” Golden and Shelly celebrated.

Ms. Cheerilee went on to Diamond’s science project, “Diamond Glow. C+.”

Golden and Shelly celebrated again.

“Cloudburst,” Ms. Cheerilee turned on the laser and it opened fire. The boys dodged that quick with the use of their ninja skills and the laser made a hole on her textbooks. She graded him, “B.”

Cloudburst smiled and bragged to Beryl and Diamond, “Ha! I'm smarter than both of you, y'all!”

“Mind Tempo,” Ms. Cheerilee called and Fun Time Rush, Golden, and Shelly were eager to find out about his grade. She told him, “C.” Everyone was upset and whimpered until Ms. Cheerilee surprised them, “Plus.” She showed Tempo his grade and it was in fact a C+.

“Yes!” Golden cheered as Tempo cheered in joy until he fainted. “Starswirl Music Festival, HERE WE COME!”

Then all of a sudden, Cheese Sandwich and the rest of the new students showed up. They all asked, “Are you guys playing at the music festival?”

Diamond answered, “Yeah, we're one of the bands.”

Cheese and the rest of the new students begged the boy band to give them tickets. Shelly calmed everyone down and told them, “You can all watch from the VIP area thanks to Fun Time Rush.”

Everyone celebrated and the new students carried Diamond, Tempo, and Cloudburst to the exit, getting all excited.

Tempo told his buds, “Oh, you know they just love us for our tickets.”

Diamond and Cloudburst agreed, “We're okay with that. OOH-OOH!”

However, Beryl came in last to call Shining Star. “Hey. It's me. I'm sorry.”

Meanwhile on set, Star listened to Beryl’s phone call as he continued, “I can't forget about you. I'm gonna leave you a ticket to the music festival. If you come, then I know you'll give me a chance, but if you don't, then I know it's over.”

Beryl hung up as Feather entered to Star’s dressing room. He greeted her, “Hey, I was thinking, after we're done shooting the scene today, maybe you and I could go see a movie or something. What do you think?”

Shining Star thought about it real hard, thinking about which destination she will choose to go.

Meanwhile at the Starswirl Music Festival, the announcer said, “Are you ready for the music festival?”

The crowd in attendance and some with fan signs cheered and applauded. Fun Time Rush looked at the crowd and saw their family and friends in attendance, old and new, including the Ninja Turtles, Rainbooms, Dazzlings, Shadowbolts, and Allies.

Mind Tempo said, “Oh wow, it really is a Starswirl Miracle.”

“The entire CHS is here, old and new. Except…” Diamond stated as Beryl looked around the crowd to find Shining Star, but she wasn't there.

Beryl sighed as Cloudburst told him, “Sorry, buddy.”

Golden Rock instructed his boy band, “Okay, we're gonna perform four songs, and we're gonna start with The City Is Ours.”

The boy band understood until Beryl suggested, “I want to do the new one.”

Shelly and Golden were surprised by Beryl’s song choice.

“Really? I don't think that we've rehearsed that one enough,” Shelly told them.

Beryl assured them, “Just trust me.”

The rest of his bandmates told them, “He's got this.”

Their manager didn't have much of the choice and decided to go with the flow as the music started playing.

Almost done with the song, Beryl then saw Shining Star in the crowd and held up her fan sign saying, “I ❤️ Beryl.”

Beryl was very happy and his bandmates were happy as well to see Shining Star in attendance. They then continued singing their song as the crowd cheered.

As for Golden and Shelly, Filthy Rich came by and told them, “This is going to be the best Starswirl Music Festival ever!” Golden and Shelly fist bumped and made their boss happy.
