You and the Rainbooms were standing by the Wondercolt statue while waiting to see if Twilight can be able to find a way to reopen the portal. While this was going on, Rarity was painting Fluttershy's nails, Applejack and Pinkie were playing poker, Rainbow Dash was boredly twirling a soccer ball, Sunset was idly looking through her journal, and you were teleporting back and forth between the two same spots to stave off your boredom. After a few more moments of waiting, Rainbow sighed in annoyance.

Rainbow Dash: I'm starting to think she's not coming.

(Y/N): Just give her time Rainbow.

You said after you stopped teleporting.

(Y/N): The portal between our worlds is still closed so Twilight's probably coming up with a way to be able to come over here. If she can't, then I'm sure she'll let Sunset know by using her journal.

Rainbow Dash: You think so?

(Y/N): Yeah, I do. Knowing her, she'll probably come up with some scientific way to get here. She's smart like that.

Fluttershy: Umm, Y/N? Have you ever tried opening the portal yourself by using your magic?

(Y/N): I did. Some time after the Fall Formal, I tried to see if I could open the portal permanently, but nothing I've done has worked. I'm guessing it takes a tremendous amount of magic to open it.

Suddenly, the mirror began to glow a familiar light as you all stood up and stepped back a few steps.

Applejack: What in tarnation is goin' on?!

(Y/N): I... I recognize this light! It's the same light that occured when Twilight and Spike came into this world the first time!

Rarity: So, what you're trying to say is-

(Y/N): Yep! Our magical friend is coming back!

You said before the light flashed and two figures flew through the portal and you managed to catch them with your magic before they could hit the floor. After the light had died down, you were able to make out the familiar light mulberryish gray skin which belonged to the Princess herself, Twilight Sparkle! You were also able to recognize her faithful doggy/dragon companion, Spike! You set the both of them down gently before the girls grinned with joy at seeing their long-gone friend.

The Rainbooms: Twilight!

Twilight took a moment to snap herself out of the daze of traveling through the portal again before she looked up at all of you.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm back.

She said in a slightly nervous voice before Sunset came over and offered her a hand. Twilight seemed hesitant at first until she accepted it before she was immediately pulled into a group hug by the Rainbooms. You smiled at the reunion of friends before Twilight turned her gaze in your direction and her eyes widened upon seeing you. You walked over to her as the girls separated the group hug.

(Y/N):  It's nice seeing you again... "cousin."

You greeted her with a smirk. She smiled brightly before pulling you into a hug to which you gladly obliged. She giggled during this.

Twilight Sparkle: It's nice seeing you too, Mr. Savior of CHS.

After a moment, you both separated as she turned to the others.

Twilight Sparkle: It's nice seeing all of you as well. I got your message.

(Y/N): Really? I'm guessing you found some information about them?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes, and I'm afraid I have some bad news about those new girls.

This made everyone, including you, nervous.

(Y/N): So, for the first and most obvious question, what exactly are they?

Twilight Sparkle: From how you guys described them in Sunset's journal, they're most likely the sirens.

The Rainbooms: Sirens?

Sunset Shimmer: The sirens? Wait, I think I remember reading about them once when I was just a little filly back in Equestria.

(Y/N): So, what were you able to find out about them?

Twilight Sparkle: Apparently, the sirens were three beautiful, but dangerous, creatures that existed long ago. They were known to cause strife and disorder across all of Equestria by singing which caused ponies to argue and fight one another so they could feed off their negative energy. When they did this, it allowed them to become even more powerful to the point where they could physically control the minds of ponies to do their bidding. If they continued like this, they would have eventually taken over all of Equestria.

Fluttershy: Were they defeated?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes. Before their plan could be complete, a powerful unicorn by the name of Starswirl the bearded was able to stop them. According to legend, he had apparently used a spell to conjure a portal in space and time and sent the three sirens into it which took them to another world. A world he believed was devoid of all magic.

(Y/N): Our world.

You finished after she said the last part to which she nodded.

Twilight Sparkle: Looks like it.

Applejack: Wait just an apple pickin' minute. If what you're sayin' is true Twilight, that the sirens were defeated and banished many years ago, then that would mean that they've gotta be several years old. Yet, they look as young as a growin' apple tree seedling.

(Y/N): If I heard Twilight's story right, she said that the sirens were banished through a portal in space and time. So, not only did it put them in a different place, it also put them in a different period of time. In other words, the future. What may have been many years on the outside world, for them, it must have been only a couple of moments. That would explain why they look so young. 

Twilight Sparkle: That is a decent theory Y/N. It would seem that they've been using their magic to control people temporarily to give them essentials such as clothing, shelter, and food to get by in this world.

(Y/N): Speaking of which, I'm guessing since they missed their chance at ruling Equestria, they're settling for this world, aren't they?

Twilight Sparkle: Either that or they may have been biding their time here until Equestrian magic came their way in order to get back to Equestria which seems to be what's happening.

Rainbow Dash: So, how are we gonna stop them?

(Y/N): We'll have to figure that part out as we go. How about we all go to the Sweet Shoppe in order to clear our heads and come up with a plan?

You suggested to which they all nodded before you all left the school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and the Rainbooms arrived at the Sweet Shoppe. Rainbow was getting the drinks while the rest of the girls wanted to catch up with Twilight and hear about what she's been up to as of late.

Rarity: Oh, I do hate that you had to return at a time of crisis. There's so much catching up to do!

Applejack: For starters, a certain blue-haired guitar player was just askin' about you.

Twilight Sparkle: Flash Sentry was asking about me?!

She asked in an excited voice while blushing before she began to twirl her hair around her finger. Meanwhile, you were all smirking at her from seeing her reaction. Twilight then got rid of her blush and cleared her throat before speaking.

Twilight Sparkle: Isn't that nice?

She said before taking a quick sip of her milkshake.

Twilight Sparkle: A-Anyways, so Y/N, how have things been going with you since everyone at the school knows about your magic?

(Y/N): Ehhhh, it's been a little up and down lately. For the most part, people seem fine with the idea of me having magic. Although, some of my fears came true as a couple of the more selfish students tried to use me for their own personal gain.

You said the last part in a slightly annoyed tone.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, but we've made sure those kinds of students never came anywhere near him again after that. Right girls?

They all nodded to her question.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, that's good. It must feel nice to know that you don't have to hide your magic anymore.

You nodded before smiling.

(Y/N): Yeah. It is a rather huge relief. It honestly feels like a huge stone was lifted from my back when I confessed. But anyways, enough about me, what about you Twilight? What have you been up to in Equestria?

You asked. Twilight went on and explained to you and your friends about everything she went through after she went back home and how she had lots of new adventures along with her friends there. One of which involved having to take down an evil centaur named Tirek who wanted to steal all of the magic from every living creature in order to take over the world. She also explained how she managed to reopen the portal by linking Celestia's journal to the crystal mirror using a set of machine parts. Thus, it opened the portal indefinitely allowing anyone to pass through it any time they please.

(Y/N): Wow, that definitely is a lot for someone to go through. You know, for a princess, you've done a great job so far by protecting the citizens and those you care about, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you Y/n.

She said while smiling.

Spike: She's even got an official title now.

He said before he used a doggy treat as a trumpet and imitated fanfare.

Spike: The Princess of Friendship!

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, that's really impressive. Guess you really were Princess Celestia's prized pupil.

She said while looking a little down.

(Y/N): Hey, come on Sunset. You were too. I'm willing to bet my entire life savings that if you were to return to Equestria, Princess Celestia would forgive you for your past mistakes.

Sunset Shimmer: You really think she would?

(Y/N): I'm sure of it.

Twilight Sparkle: Y/N's right Sunset. Princess Celestia will surely forgive you if you went back.

Sunset Shimmer: Really? Does she know about what happened to me when I lived with my step parents?

Twilight Sparkle: She does. I told her about everything you went though when you were a filly living under their roof. She's not angry at you anymore Sunset. That means that she'll be more than happy to see you again if you ever choose to visit her.

Sunset Shimmer: I... I don't know. I'll have to think about it some more before I make a final decision. Thanks for telling me Twilight.

Twilight nodded.

Twilight Sparkle: Of course.

(Y/N): So, what else has happened to you Twilight?

Spike: You probably won't believe this, but she's got her own castle now!

Rarity: A CASTLE!?!?

She shouted before grabbing Twilight and pulling her closer.

Rarity: You have your own castle?!

She said while excited before she noticed the rest of you looking at her strangely. She then blushed slightly before letting go of Twilight.

Rarity: Ooh, uh, lovely.

She said while smiling bashfully.

Twilight Sparkle: So what's new here? I mean, besides your school becoming the target of dangerous magical creatures from Equestria?

(Y/N): Heh, I'm so glad you asked that Twilight. Because I have some photos that will really make you say "like what."

Twilight Sparkle: Like what?

She asked while feeling curious. You answered by pulling out your phone and you showed her the pictures of the Rainbooms in their Pony-Up forms.

Twilight Sparkle: T-They transformed?!

She asked surprised.

(Y/N): They did. Quite surprising isn't it? If this were pokemon, you could say that they had temporary evolutions.

Rainbow Dash: Pretty sweet huh? It happens to us when we play.

(Y/N): The only exception being me even though I play in the band also. So Twilight, I don't suppose you have any answers as to why this is happening right?

Twilight Sparkle: Hmm. My crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have remained here at Canterlot High.

She said before gaining a smile.

Twilight Sparkle: Now that we're all back together, we can use that magic on the sirens. Just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifyingly awful winged monster!

You nudged Twilight's shoulder which got her attention. Much like with Rarity, you pointed your eyes at a now slightly saddened Sunset before Twilight realized what she said.

Twilight Sparkle: No offense.

She apologized.

Sunset Shimmer: None taken.

She sighed once more.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm used to it.

She said sadly before you placed a hand on her back and rubbed it gently which garnered a small smile from her.

Rainbow Dash: They'll never know what hit them!

She said before she started doing a bunch of karate kicks and punches before her fist was caught by yours.

(Y/N): Whoa, whoa! Easy there karate kid! Cool your jets!

Rainbow chuckled before sitting back down.

Applejack: We've got nothin' to worry about now that Twilight's back.

Fluttershy: Oh, I'm pretty sure I could find something to worry about.

She said while feeling scared and nervous.

Fluttershy: But it won't be the sirens.

Twilight Sparkle: The sooner we do this, the better. Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?

She asked which made Pinkie quickly finish off her milkshake before she answered.

Pinkie Pie: There's a big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase! That would include the Dazzlings.

Twilight Sparkle: Looks like we've got a party to crash.

(Y/N): We'll need to proceed with caution though. The Dazzlings might use their magic to make everyone stand against us if we don't handle this carefully.

Twilight Sparkle: You're right. We need to tread carefully when we get there.

Sunset then thought of something before she spoke up.

Sunset Shimmer: Umm, Twilight? Can I speak to you for a moment? Privately?

Twilight at first seemed confused by what Sunset wanted to talk to her about before she nodded and followed Sunset outside.

Twilight Sparkle: So, what was it you wanted to tell me Sunset?

Sunset at first was hesitant to tell Twilight this but she managed to stave off her nerves and speak.

Sunset Shimmer: I don't want to make you distrustful of him or anything, but I think you should be careful around Y/N for now.

Twilight seemed confused by this.

Twilight Sparkle: What? Why would I need to be careful around him? He's a good guy.

Sunset Shimmer: I know he is. It's just that... it's just that something happened to him today that you need to know about.

Twilight Sparkle: Really? What happened to him?

Sunset Shimmer: Back during lunch in the cafeteria today, the Dazzlings came in and started singing which ended with every other student there fighting with each other. The girls and I were unaffected, but I don't think I can say the same about Y/N. He suddenly got this massive headache out of nowhere which put him in a lot of pain. We managed to get him out of there as we couldn't help but feel concerned for him. We tried to see if he was okay... and do you know what he did?

Twilight shook her head in response. Sunset sighed before continuing.

Sunset Shimmer: He... he screamed at us... aggressively. As if he was going to punch us if we so much as touched him.

Twilight's eyes widened immediately after hearing that. This was not the kind of news she was expecting. You yelled at them? That didn't seem like you at all. Even though it was a rather brief amount of time that she spent with you, she still came to know you as a carefree and upbeat type of guy who almost never got angry unless you were provoked. So, the fact that you acted that way to them was... surprising, and not in a good way. What if... what if the girls were protected from the siren's magic, but you weren't. What if you were to fall under their spell? What if you were to make your way to Equestria?! What if-

Twilight's current fearful train of thought was interrupted when she felt Sunset's hand on her shoulder.

Sunset Shimmer: Twilight?

Twilight took a moment to calm herself before answering.

Twilight Sparkle: I... I don't know what to say to that. It really doesn't seem like he would do such a thing.

Sunset Shimmer: I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true. Which is why I think we need to be cautious and also keep an eye on him at all times. We don't know what could happen to him.

Twilight at first didn't want to immediately demonize you since she came to know you as a wonderful guy, but this was something she couldn't ignore. She sighed before she spoke.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay.

Sunset nodded before the both of them walked back inside to join with the rest of you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and the Rainbooms later made it to the gym where a party was being held for all of the participating bands for the newly named "Battle of the Bands." Due to the Dazzlings' influence, everyone there was giving each other dirty looks the entire time while some were arguing. Flash was currently glaring at Snips and Snails while with his band before he sighed in annoyance.

Flash Sentry: I'm gonna get more punch!

He said angrily before he and Twilight bumped into each other before he managed to catch her from falling.

Flash Sentry: Twilight?

He said in a surprised voice upon seeing her again. Twilight immediately blushed from this and began speaking incoherently.

Twilight Sparkle: Eh, bumped, into, always, doing?

Flash helped her stand straight as Twilight composed herself.

Flash Sentry: What are you doing here? You came back for the big competition, right?

Twilight Sparkle: Something like that.

You then walked over and greeted him.

(Y/N): Hey Flash, what's up?

Flash Sentry: Oh, hey Y/N. You're in this competition as well?

(Y/N): That I am. I'm the backup guitarist for the Rainbooms while Twilight here is helping us with something.

Flash Sentry: Huh, interesting.

He said before narrowing his eyes slightly.

Flash Sentry: Anyways, it's not like there's gonna be any real competition. No one here wants this as bad as my band does!

He said in an arrogant voice before the Dazzlings soon came into the gym to which you noticed. You nudged Twilight's shoulder which got her attention as you pointed your eyes over at the Dazzlings before she noticed them too and nodded.

(Y/N): Could you excuse us for just a moment Flash?

You asked before you and Twilight walked off to rejoin the Rainbooms while Flash just shrugged.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm guessing those girls are the Dazzlings?

(Y/N): Yeah. Not to rush you or anything Twilight, but I wouldn't waste this opportunity to use the magic of friendship if I were you.

Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry. I don't plan on hesitating any time soon.

Rainbow Dash: So, are we gonna do the same thing as last time? Where we transform and shoot a huge rainbow at them?

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe. Let's go girls.

She said to the Rainbooms who nodded.

(Y/N): Good luck, you guys. I'll be rooting for you.

You said with a charming smile which made the girls, minus Twilight, blush before they got rid of them.

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks Y/N.

She said before they all began making their way to the middle of the room while you walked over and stood next to Sunset who stood by to watch the whole thing.

Sunset Shimmer: Do you think they can pull this off Y/N?

She asked in a concerned voice.

(Y/N): Maybe Sunset. We can only hope at this point.

Meanwhile, the Dazzlings watched as the other bands were either glaring or yelling at each other.

Adagio Dazzle: *mock tone* Oh, no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute!

Sonata Dusk: It's the fruit punch, isn't it? I knew I used too much grape juice!

She said while holding a container of apple juice while Aria rolled her eyes.

Adagio Dazzle: It's not the fruit punch! It's us!

She scolded Sonata.

Aria Blaze: But the punch is awful, too.

Sonata Dusk: What do you know about good fruit punch?

Aria Blaze: More than you!

Sonata Dusk: Do not!

Aria Blaze: Do too!

Adagio Dazzle: This is just the kickoff party, girls. Imagine what a tizzy they'll be in by the time the Battle of the Bands starts.

She said while grinning sadistically to which the other two grinned as well.

Twilight Sparkle: There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands!

Twilight called out to them which immediately got their attention as Twilight and the Rainbooms stood in the middle of the gymnasium with determined looks.

Twilight Sparkle: We're gonna make sure of that!

Sunset nodded in agreement and smirked at the Dazzlings while you were displaying the same facial expression.

(Y/N): *thinking* Ha! They're in for it now! Show them what you're made of girls!

Twilight Sparkle: Alright, girls, let's do this.

She said as she and the Rainbooms joined hands with each other.

Twilight Sparkle: Friendship is magic!

She shouted...

*cough*

...buuuuuut, nothing seemed to happen.

The Dazzlings just stood baffled and confused by this. Sunset was also confused before she began to feel embarrassed for them as they silently stood with closed eyes, determined faces, and linked hands. You were looking at them with a look of utter surprise as you leaned over to Sunset and whispered to her.

(Y/N): *whisper* AAAAAkwaaaaard.

Sunset nudged your shoulder and looked at you with a serious face which told you that now was not the time to be joking about this. Meanwhile, everyone stood in silence before the girls soon realized that nothing was happening.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, weren't there rainbows and lasers and stuff last time?

She asked while feeling genuinely confused.

Twilight Sparkle: I don't understand. We're all together again. Why isn't this working?

She asked as everyone continued to stare as the Dazzlings soon smirked at their inability to bring out the friendship magic. Spike poked his head out of Twilight's backpack and whispered to her.

Spike: *whisper* You, uh... really need to go ahead and do that whole "magic of friendship" thing now.

Twilight Sparkle: *whisper* I'm trying, Spike. I thought the six of us standing together against the sirens would bring out the magic we needed to defeat them. That's what happened before.

She said while feeling uneasy as you thought about the situation.

(Y/N): *thinking* Why is this even happening? The six of them should be able to bring out the friendship magic and blast those three into next week already. So, why is nothing happening? *groan* Things just keep getting more and more complicated I swear!

You thought before Adagio decided to take advantage of the situation by manipulating the students.

Adagio Dazzle: Talk about throwing down the gauntlet! This group is obviously serious about winning! A little cocky though, aren't they? Claiming there won't really be a battle. Seems they think they've already got this thing all locked up.

She shouted which started riling up the other competitors.

Trixie Lulamoon: Not if the Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie has anything to do with it!

Flash Sentry: Whatever, Trixie! We're the best band at CHS!

Apple Bloom: No! The Crusaders are gonna win!

Soon after that is when they all started fighting and yelling again. This soon caused the green mist to appear once more from the negativity as the Dazzlings soon began absorbing it into their pendants as they displayed prideful looks. Suddenly, the headache you experienced from earlier came back as you grabbed your head and you fell to your knees in pain. Sunset noticed this and became fearful of what was happening to you before she put your arm around her shoulder and she lifted you up the best she could manage.

After they were done feasting off the negativity, the Dazzlings looked into the crowd and noticed that Twilight and the Rainbooms weren't affected at all.

Adagio Dazzle: I think we may have found what we're looking for. Or rather, it found us.

She said while sinisterly smiling as Aria understood what she meant and grinned while Sonata didn't understand at all. This caused Aria to facepalm while Adagio got annoyed.

Adagio Dazzle: Magic!! Don't you see?! Everyone else has fallen under our spell. But not these girls. These girls are special.

She then looked again and noticed you hanging off of Sunset as she carried you out of the gym while you were writhing with pain from the headache. Adagio grinned at seeing this.

Adagio Dazzle: So, Y/N is vulnerable to our magic. Only he seems to be more of a fighter than everyone else. Interesting. Very interesting. Oh, I love it when they try to fight back.

She said which also made Sonata and Aria notice what was happening to you before they smirked sinisterly.

Adagio Dazzle: *thinking* Mark my words Y/N. I will see what you're hiding deep inside you.

Meanwhile, the girls were about to walk out of the school before Sunset called out to them.

Sunset Shimmer: You guys! Give me a hand here please!

She said pleadingly as the girls turned to see her carrying you to the best of her ability. They immediately went wide eyed at seeing you like this again before they rushed over to the two of you.

Twilight Sparkle: Sunset! What's happening to him?!

Sunset Shimmer: He's having that headache again! Like the one from earlier!

Sunset then placed you on your knees on the ground as they all huddled around you concerningly. You were too busy holding your head in torment as this headache was worse than the one before. Much like before, it soon went away as you were finally able to recompose yourself. Twilight knelt down in order to be at eye level with you.

Twilight Sparkle: Y/N? Are you feeling okay?

She asked in a worried voice. You looked back up at her with a pained expression as you took a few deep breaths.

(Y/N): I-I am now.

You stood back up and walked a few feet forward while the girls were watching you with worried looks. You sighed while annoyed at what happened in the gym.

(Y/N): *whisper* Why? Why didn't it work?

You turned back to the girls with an irritated face before you began pacing.

(Y/N): It just couldn't be that simple. Of course, it wouldn't.

Rarity: Y/N darling, it'll be oka-

(Y/N): No, it WON'T be okay Rarity. Nothing will be okay if we don't find a way to defeat those pompous, narcissistic witches soon!

Your voice raised in volume with every word you said.

(Y/N): All of the students are pettily arguing with each other, the principal and vice principal are too brainwashed to do anything about it, and the worst part is, the magic of friendship didn't even work! THIS IS ALL SO FRUSTRATING!!

You shouted angrily which made the girls jump a little in fear from the sheer volume of your voice. You soon realized what you said before you took a deep breath to calm yourself before you went over to the wall and leaned against it.

(Y/N): I... I'm so sorry for shouting you guys. We just can't seem to catch a break. It always has to be so complicated.

You said sadly. The girls began to feel sympathetic again as Twilight was thinking to herself. It turned out that Sunset was right about what she said about you earlier today at the Sweet Shoppe. You were definitely acting different from how you normally were which was surprising and frightening at the same time. She didn't want to believe that you were acting this way as a result of the Dazzlings' spell... but much like Sunset, she couldn't ignore what was happening to you. Twilight shook off those thoughts before walking over to you.

Twilight Sparkle: We know what you're feeling Y/N. We feel the same as you do, but being angry and shouting about it isn't going to get us anywhere.

You looked at her as she continued.

Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry about it. I'm sure we'll figure something else out. We just need to keep our spirits up and hope that things will go our way.

She said while the others nodded in agreement. You nodded before smiling.

(Y/N): You're right. Of course, you're right. You know, I'm kinda getting a sense of deja vu here. Almost as if we had this kind of conversation before.

You said while smirking and raising an eyebrow at her as she did the same.

Twilight Sparkle: Come to think of it, it does seem familiar, doesn't it?

She said before the both of you chuckled at that.

(Y/N): Anyways, since the party's pretty much ruined by everyone else arguing there, where are we gonna go for now?

Rainbow Dash: We could go to the front steps of the school and think about what we're gonna do next. How about that?

(Y/N): Good idea Rainbow. Let's get going.

You said as she blushed slightly from your recognition to her. She got rid of it before they all nodded as you walked to the front of the school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some walking, you all made it to the front steps of the school. You along with Sunset and the Rainbooms sat down on the steps as Twilight stood in front of you all.

Twilight Sparkle: It doesn't make any sense. I should have been able to create the spark that would help us break their spell. That's how it worked before.

She said as she paced for a bit.

Sunset Shimmer: But to defeat me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing. The sirens' magic comes from their music. So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them.

She suggested.

Sunset Shimmer: Or maybe not.

Twilight Sparkle: No. I think you're onto something.

Sunset Shimmer: Really?

Twilight Sparkle: It's when you play music that you transform now, right?

Applejack: Yup. Ears, tails, the whole shebang.

Twilight Sparkle: So maybe the way to use that magic to defeat the sirens is by playing a musical counter-spell!

She said to all of you.

Fluttershy: You mean like a song?

(Y/N): You're definitely onto something there Fluttershy.

This made all of them turn their attention to you.

(Y/N): Since the sirens seem to control and manipulate people through singing, then we'll just have to use our music to counter theirs. In other words, fight fire with fire.

Twilight Sparkle: Y/N's right. Also, in order to free everyone who's been exposed to the sirens' spell, we'll need them all to hear it.

You all thought about how you were going to pull that off before Rarity gasped upon realizing something.

Rarity: The band competition! That's the next time we can be certain everyone will be in the same place at the same time.

Applejack: Guess the Rainbooms are the band to beat.

Rarity: And I believe you, Twilight, just became the Rainbooms' newest member.

She said while gesturing to Twilight. The other girls voiced their agreement while Sunset seemed a bit sad at being left out again.

(Y/N): Look girls, it's nice that you all have faith in Twilight's capabilities, but we can't just expect her to have every single answer right off the bat. Don't get me wrong, Twilight is an intelligent girl.

Twilight smiled at that.

(Y/N): But we can't put her through any kind of stress or expect her to do this on her own. We need to offer our support to her in any ways we can think of.

Twilight Sparkle: He's right. I can't do all of this on my own so I'm counting on you to help me out as well if you want me to be able to come up with a counter-spell.

(Y/N): Exactly. We also don't wanna give the Dazzlings a chance to absorb any amount of magic from us. So, that means, NO petty arguments between ANY of you.

Applejack: Alright, we won't sugarcube.

(Y/N): Good. You guys fought and argued with each other before which caused your friendship to end and I'd much rather not have that happen again. You guys mean too much to me. I don't think my heart could handle that trauma a second time.

You said honestly which made the girls, minus Twilight again, blush and also feel really touched after hearing how much you cared about them.

Fluttershy: Okay Y/N. We won't fight with each other.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah Y/N! We Pinkie Promise!

(Y/N): Good. That's all I needed to hear.

Pinkie Pie: So, what do you wanna play Twilight?

She asked before zooming off and coming back with a musical triangle.

Pinkie Pie: Triangle?

She zoomed off again before returning with a sousaphone.

Pinkie Pie: Sousaphone?

She blew it for a second before quickly leaving again and coming back with a theremin.

Pinkie Pie: Theremin?

She said before she played the theremin for a bit which she really enjoyed doing as evidenced by her face.

Pinkie Pie: Sooo magical.

Twilight Sparkle: I might take a little too long to learn how to play something with these.

She said while referring to her hands.

Twilight Sparkle: I'll just sing.

(Y/N): That's not a bad idea Twilight.

Rainbow then came up to Twilight and leaned on her shoulder.

Rainbow Dash: Like, as in, lead singer? Cuz that's usually my gig. This being my band and all.

(Y/N): Rainbow, watch that ego of yours.

You said sternly.

Applejack: It's our band!

She said while annoyed at Rainbow.

Applejack: And, of course, Twilight will be the lead singer. She's the one with the magical know-how to help us pull this thing off.

Rainbow Dash: Okay, yeah, that's cool. I'll just use this as a chance to hone my already insanely good lead guitar skills.

Twilight Sparkle: It's only temporary. And we don't have to win the Battle of the Bands. We just have to perform during the first round of the competition.

Rainbow Dash: Let's get to learning that musical counter-spell!

Twilight Sparkle: Well, that's just it. I don't know any.

This made everyone worried.

Twilight Sparkle: But I'm sure I could figure out how to write one.

Spike: Totally! Twilight can write a spell like it's nobody's business. That's pretty much how she got to become a princess in Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle: Technically, I helped finish a spell. And there was a little more to it than that, Spike.

Spike: Yeah, whatever.

He said while waving his paw dismissively.

(Y/N): Alright, quick question Twilight. Since you stayed at my house last time, I assume you're staying there again?

The Rainbooms: Wait, what?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh yeah, when I first came here and when Y/N was helping me out, he and his parents let me stay at their place until I was able to get my crown back and return to Equestria.

For a few seconds, the girls stood with wide eyes at the sudden set of information they were just given. Then, immediately after that, they began to bombard Twilight with questions.

Rarity: What was his house like?

Fluttershy: What were his parents like?

Pinkie Pie: Oh, Oh, Oh! Did you and Y/N sleep in the same bed together?!

Twilight Sparkle: What?! No Pinkie!

You then got between them and Twilight as you used your telekinesis magic to lift them all and place them a few feet away which silenced them.

(Y/N): Alright, Alright! Break it up you guys! Also, for your information Pinkie, Twilight slept in the guest room.

It was then that Pinkie perked up when an idea came to mind.

Pinkie Pie: *gasp* Speaking of sleep, I just got an idea! Let's all have a slumber party at my house!

She suggested to which the girls all agreed to it.

(Y/N): Well, alright then. I guess this means I'm going home for the night. You girls have fun.

You were about to walk away before Pinkie zoomed over and blocked your path.

Pinkie Pie: And just where do you think you're going mister?

You grew a genuinely confused look before answering.

(Y/N): Umm... to my home... where I live... with my parents?

Pinkie Pie: Nuh uh! You're coming with us to the slumber party!

You raised an eyebrow at that.

(Y/N): Umm, Pinkie? You do realize that I'm a guy right?

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, so what?

(Y/N): Well... wouldn't it be... I don't know... unorthodox for a boy to be at a girls slumber party?

Pinkie Pie: Oh pffft! Do you think we're the kind of group that lets social norms dictate what we can and can't do? Come on, Y/N! It wouldn't be the same without you!

She pleaded while the other girls nodded in agreement.

Applejack: We wouldn't mind havin' ya there with us sugarcube.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah! Come on dude! Don't leave us hanging!

You stared at them before you turned back to Pinkie who was now using the puppy dog eyes. Darn it! Why did she have to use the puppy dog eyes?! They're your number one weakness!

You sighed before smiling and answering.

(Y/N): Oh, alright. I'll be there.

Pinkie Pie: Yippee!!!

She cheered while the others smiled excitedly.

(Y/N): BUT!!

You shouted which made Pinkie immediately freeze in place while she listened to what you were going to say.

(Y/N): You'd better not put makeup on me in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping or else I won't let ANY of you hear the end of it. Ya got me?

You asked to which they all nodded.

Pinkie Pie: No worries, Y/N. We promise.

You narrowed your eyes before leaning closer to her.

(Y/N): Pinkie Promise?

Her eyes widened at that.

Pinkie Pie: *thinking* Dang it! Why did he have to use that?

She thought to herself before answering you.

Pinkie Pie: Pinkie Promise! Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!

She said while doing the gestures. You nodded before turning to the rest of them.

(Y/N): And the same applies to all of you as well.

They nodded while also doing the gestures. You nodded again before smiling.

(Y/N): Okay then. Just let me pop over to my house to grab my essentials and then I'll be over at your place Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie: Alrighty tighty! We'll see you there!

(Y/N): See you guys.

You said before you snapped your fingers and teleported away to your home as they all began to walk to Pinkie's house.
