The rainbow flashed over the city as three girls walked out of a taco shop to see it. They planned on taking the magic that was there for themselves to make sure it would help them get home after such a long time, almost a thousand years at that.
Meanwhile
Maroon and her friends were hanging out in the library with the mirror down in the basement as a delivery from Celestia arrived and one was glowing and vibrating. So she made sure that they could help each other by making sure the portal could be turned on for a while.
“Thanks for coming to help us” Sunrise said “how are you after that whole fiasco last time?”
“Better plus the element was in control of my upper half so I used my lower to get back as soon as I could by the way the elements are destroyed”
“It’s good to see that you're ok and how did that happen?”
“Long story” before remembering something, “I also brought some help this time,” she said as two more people came out of the portal. “They already have different names so we can tell who is who and they are, Midnight Nova and Fallen Ember.” The two newcomers nearly fell because of their new bodies but managed to actually walk with no problem through a bit of practice.
Sunrise could tell that Fallen was her sister without looking and tackled her into a hug. “Hey Rise, it’s been so long it’s good to see you.” she said as Moonrise came over and asked in that voice of curiosity
“Mommy, who is she?” that caused the two to look down to see her and Midnight just couldn't help but giggle. Fallen looked at her sister shocked at the fact she had a kid as she did hear about it from Maroon but didn’t expect it to be true.
“I was hoping to see you again so that you could get to know your niece,” shocking them. Before long things went well they did see Crimson schedule an appointment with Dr.Eclipse surprisingly.
They were in the band room trying to figure out a song for magic to pass through and intercept or cancel out the effects of the Sirens song. It took a night to do but with four students of Celestia putting together the magical theory for the spell was hard to follow… They kept accidentally interrupting the others' work which would be fixed by that person before an argument started between the three from Equestria when Sunrise looked at it to see what was wrong. “Mommy?” Moonrise said as she came down the stairs having been woken up by the fighting.
“Yes Moonie?” Sunrise said, worried about how it would affect her daughter’s sleep schedule.
“Why are they fighting?”
“Miscommunication” Sunrise said simply
“What does that word mean?”
“It means something was lost while talking to another person. It happens a lot and causes fights or arguments to happen. Want to draw sense you’re awake?” Sunrise asked the little girl who nodded excitedly while taking out a piece of paper to give her as she got her crayons. Later Sunrise went through the complex equations and effects to see what went wrong. Everything worked up to a certain effect but fell flat at what they were trying to do.
“Mommy! Mommy!” Moonrise said as she came running over with the sheet she got and had drawing on it
“Lets see what you drawed” Sunrise said while taking the drawing and saw the missing piece of the equation by coincidence. “Thank you, my Moonlight, it's wonderful and you helped me figure out what went wrong” Moonrise was tired as sunrise brought her back to bed she left the two on the counter while the fighting stopped. They looked at the equation to find where it went wrong only to see the answer on a child's drawing so the three facepalmed that a kid showed them the answer and they didn’t know anything about magic.
“Well now we know what went wrong. Also there's a lot of pages missing in the book” Midnight said laughing softly when a thought of her and Fallen having a foal together popped into her mind but it made her smile a soft smile as she stared lovingly at her wife. Fallen noticed the stare as the stress from before faded and they realized how tired they were as they saw maroon plop on the couch and fell asleep while the two sat on the ground before cuddling and falling asleep there.
Sunrise walked into the room to see that and wondered about the equation only to see it fixed so she spent the rest of the night looking it over before falling asleep there.
The next morning during breakfast, Sunrise groaned out of discomfort. “From that groan, I can say that you fell asleep at the table?” Fluttershy asked
“Yep and I regret it big time though how are you both able to sleep on the floor just fine?” Sunrise said at first to fluttershy before turning her head over to Midnight and Fallen.
“We have slept in worse places and when I fall asleep it’s usually upside down.” She said before walking over and helping Sunrise with her back by having her stretch out and pop it. “Feel better?”
“How do you know how to deal with that?” Sunrise asked confused
“Oh it happens a lot with your sister and I when we sleep somewhere that’s not natural. Your sister likes to sleep on the branches of trees while I hang from them with my tail”
“Huh, so your part bat pony then?” Twilight asked,
“We are called thestrals but that is basically the general conception. Our skulls are tough as when we normally wake up I’m already on the ground.”
“Though sometimes either your horn or your head is stuck in the ground.” Fallen said
“Oh Midnight your cousin told us that you managed to take out the princesses back from the chandelier in the room” Maroon said as their human versions looked at the three confused.
“Oh that day… yeah that did happen but it was an accidental surprise attack.” she said with a nervous laugh while rubbing the back of her head with her hand.
They made their way to the school ready for what the day was going to throw at them… or so they thought. They got through the rounds without using magic during the battle of the bands but they were disqualified a bit after it happened. Though that was because of the other students stopping them from continuing through sabotage.
After that they decided to make it a battle of the bands. The three sirens had already ponied up to show what they truly were. After they got there the three who were helping kept their distance knowing that they might make it worse. As projections of the sirens true forms came out of the red gems on the three girls chests. Two of the three walked over to the stage as they were being overwhelmed by the rest. As they started a new song while ponying up for the next try as they sang a rainbow shot up into the sky as a new color joined it. Once it was complete it formed into an alicorn that blasted the sirens true forms away and destroyed the gems. Midnight and Fallen showed up on the stage and picked up the gem pieces.
Midnight said “I can tell that without these gems you have no way to have food, so as long as you remain good I’ll fix them and make them better with some help,” she said to the Sirens, shocking them. They nodded and pleaded to have them fixed which helped.
Before the three went back through the portal, “Wait, are you both married?” Maroon asked Midnight and Fallen who nodded and “they thought your counterparts got married when I was talking about your brother's wedding” she said pointing at Midnight who knew what that meant and laughed with everyone joining in on the laughter. After the three made their way into the portal sunrise looked at the three Sirens who were supposed to be on stage were gone. It was as if they disappeared but she knew this won't be the last time they see them.
