Twilight, Sun, and the others walk down the hallways to find a place to practice, but finding one where the sirens can't hear them is not easy. They think of some places but someone can hear them.
As they walk around the halls, Twilight says,"Not the classroom, it's too easily heard."
"Yeah. Someone might hear us in the hallways," Rainbow Dash adds.
Just then, Twilight bumps into Flash again, but this time Flash is not showing the same smile he does when he sees her.
"And that's has to be the fourth or fifth time you two bumped into each other," Rarity remarks.
Twilight blushes seeing Flash and says sounding embarrassed, "We really need to stop bumping into each other like this."
However, Flash turns to his friends ignoring Twilight and firmly asks, "Do you guys hear that?"
His friends answer no and are acting the same way as Flash. Sun and his friends are not liking this.
Twilight calmly says, "I said, we have to stop…"
There it is again. So annoying," Flash says sounding annoyed, and ignoring Twilight
Twilight starts to feel worried and asks, "Why are you acting like this? I thought we were friends?"
Flash turns to Twilight and furiously says, "Yeah, and then you decide to come back here just so you can beat me in the Battle of the Bands. I want this, Twilight, and you're trying to take it from me! Some friend."
Hearing this is starting to make Twilight cry, and that will not sand with Sun at all.
Sun comes up to Flash and furiously says, "Flash Sentry, I am ashamed of you!"
"Me, you're the want who want Twilight here so you can have an advantage at the Battle of the Bands?!" Flash protests in anger.
"It is not true, I can't believe you're allowing a stupid competition to get in the way of your friendship with Twilight like that, I thought you were better than that!" Sun exclaims in anger.
"What about you, why are you being friends with Falling Star, from what I hear she was really resentful with you!" Flash remarks.
This makes Sun more angry and says, "Don't you dare bring Falling Star into this! She's changed, and she's with us now!"
Applejack holds Sun by the shoulder and calmly says, "Come on, Sun, let's get going."
Sun nods her head in reply agreeing to it. Then the rest of her friends walk pass Flash and his band.
Then Sun firmly says, "The point is, is that when the Battle of the Band is over and my friends and I do play our song, you're going to regret everything you just said to Twilight."
"Whatever," Flash says like he doesn't care.
Sun and Applejack walk with the girls to find a place to practice for the contest.
Sun turns around to see Flash and his friends and calmly says, "And Flash."
Flash looks at Sun with an annoyed look on his face.
"You should never hold a grudge against something who done something in the past, all it does is create more trouble than it's worth," Sun answers with a blunt yet, sad look on her face.
"Why is that?" Flash asks sounding annoyed.
Sun sighs sadly and explains, "Because… that's what happened to Falling Star. She allowed her grudge and resentment towards me to turned into something awful, and I'm sure you don't want that to happen to you."
After saying that, Flash faces turned from anger into a shock. Sun then walks away with her friends to find a classroom to practice, unaware that The Dazzlings are hiding behind the corner, listening to the whole thing.
"Woah, that Sun is sure is something," Sonata replies with a shock.
"You can say that again," Arai replies.
Then Adagio says, "Yeah, the first round of the Battle of the Bands hasn't even finished and there's already tears and resentment in the air."
Aria looks at the hallway where Sun and her friends are with curiosity and says, "But that girl, Sun, was only interested on protect her friends, not herself. I have to admit, that took some guts to do that."
"Right, it seems our special little Sun cares more about her friendship with those girls than about the competition itself," Sun remarks.
Then the Dazzling start laughing, and it will be a matter of time before more tension comes between The Rainbooms as well.
Just then, The Dazzlings hear Principal Celestia's voice coming from the loudspeaker announcing, "The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions."
"Better had back. We're supposed to go after Trixie," Adagio informs.
With that, they start to head back to the gym. When they reach the doors, Adagio stop them all of the sudden. They look to see Falling Star at the entrance with her arms crossed and with a serious look on her face.
Falling Star face The Dazzlings and sternly says, "You're never going to get away with this!"
"Why, because you didn't, Falling Star?" Adagio replies.
Falling Star does seem surprised that the sirens know her, but try to put up the courage to not let them get to her.
Adagio walks around her as she says, "We heard all about you and Sun, Falling Star, you both seem to have a special reputation at the school, and a certain history together from your past."
"I've changed, I'm in a much better place now, and Sun has forgiven me for what I've done since the last time I was here!" Falling Star spats out with anger.
"By making you wait in the wing while your friends have all the fun," Aria says with a smirk on her face.
Falling Star looks away as she says, "I chose not to be on stage because of your stage fright."
But Adagio says with an evil like smile, "Or maybe you just didn't want to bring your friends down because of the bad elements you brought to this school."
Adagio and her sisters are really starting to get on Falling Star's nerves and feels like she's about say or do something she might regret.
Before she can say anything, a familiar voice calls out, "What's going on?"
Falling Star and The Dazzling turn around to see Sun in the hallway. They start to wonder what she's doing here.
Falling Star asks, "Sun, what are you doing here, you should be practicing?"
"We were, until my friends got into a... disagreement. When I heard you talking to The Dazzlings from the hall, I kind of know I need to see if you're alright," Sun explains, looking unsure.
Aria sighs with annoyance and says, "Man, you really are a softy, sunshine."
"I don't know, but I'm actually glad she's not under our spell," Sonata replies with a smile.
"Sonata!" Aria exclaims.
Realizing her mistake, she sheepishly says, "Oops, my bad."
But Sun calmly says, "It's okay, my friends and I kind of know about your... history in Equestria, and how you got here."
"Well, that's good," Sonata says with glee.
"Not entirely, Sonata," Aria bluntly replies.
"I have to say, you sure are a very special girl, why even your friends including Falling Star are not under our spell," Adagio says, as she puts her hand on Sun's chin, so she can see her face.
Sun feel a bit uncomfortable and says, "Yeah, that is something I don't understand, but... I think you girls are kind of going through this wrong."
"And what does that mean?" Arai asks.
"I mean, what you three are doing is not the way. I understand you three need to feed of negative energy to maintain your power, but you can't use magic to get people to like you,"Sun explains.
"It seems to work so far, even in Equestria," Sonata replies.
"And you three got banished here for it," Falling Star remarks.
"Watch it sister," Arai says, glaring at Falling Star.
"She's not our sister, she's not even related to us," Sonata cluelessly replies.
Adagio and Aria roll their eyes hearing that, while Sun and Falling Star giggles bit.
"It's just a figure of speech, Sonata," Sun explains.
"Oh, right," Sonata says.
Then Sun says, "Still, you should try to win others just by using your music and magic on them. I'm sure if you just be yourselves without using your magic, people will like you for real."
"Oh really, and who is so willing to be our friends when they're under our control and adoring us?" Adagio asks acting like she doesn't give a care.
"Me," Sun answers.
The Dazzlings look at Sun with a stunned look of what she is saying.
Then Sun explains, "I guess, when I first met you, I did though you girls were a bit strange, especially when you asked me those questions about Equestria. When my friend told me about your past, I kind of understand why you asked me it."
"What's that?" Falling Star asks looking confused.
"The sirens knew I hadn't falling under their spell the first time, that's why they talk to me, but I enjoy their company. When you three came to the school, I thought that we can be friends, and I can introduce you to mine. I have to admit you do sing great, but I guess I'm just a little worried about having another magical problem at the school," Sun answers.
Adagio and her sisters are very surprised. Sun actually want to be friends with them, and she's not in their control. Deep inside, they do understand what Sun ask of them and how much it will mean to her, but they know they need to do this.
Adagio shows a friendly, and yet, sad smile and says, "That's... nice of you, but sadly we need to do this. We have to keep feeding off negative energy until our... problems are over."
"What kind of problem?" Sun asks.
Adagio simply sighs and says, "Sun, I really do think your a nice person and… it will mean a lot about being friends with you, but about the situation my sister and I are in, let's just say this is something that not even you can help us with."
After hearing that, Adagio and her sister leave back to the gym so they can perform. However, Sun can tell that she kind of touch them in a way, like they understand Sun wants to be friends with them.
Falling Star turns to Sun and asks with a concerned look, "What do they mean, a problem you can't help them with?"
"I don't know, but I think Adagio and her sister are in some kind of trouble, something that is causing them to continue feeding off negative energy, and doesn't think there is a chance of stopping it," Sun answers looking sad.
"Wish we knew what that problem is," Falling Star.
"I wish they'll tell me, then maybe I can help them," Sun agrees, feeling concern for The Dazzlings.
Falling Star smiles and says, "Come on, you need to get back with the others to practice the counterspell, I'll stay here and keep an eye on The Dazzlings."
"Okay, see you later," Sun says.
"Bye," Falling Star replies.
With that, Falling Star and Sun go their separate ways. Falling Star stays to see the competition while Sun and her friends practice and prepare for the counterspell. Back at the gym, everyone including the principals of the school are waiting for the next band to perform, which is The Dazzlings. The siren sisters are behind stage getting ready to perform. Aria and Sonata are ready to get started, Adagio is too, but feels something funny, like she is distracted about something..
"Finally, it's our turn now," Aria complains.
"Yeah. I thought our turn will never come," Sonata adds.
Sonata turns to Adagio and asks, "Are you ready too?"
Aria look over to see the leader as well, but they both notice Adagio is distracted by something.
Sonata asks, "Hello, Dagio, are you ready to sing?"
Adagio hears her sister, and looks back at her like nothing is bothering her and says, "Yes, I am of course.
"Right, so what's on your mind?" Aria asks looking suspicious.
Adagio confidently says, "It's nothing. Now remember girls, we want to save the good stuff when our true powers have been restored."
All three of them hold their pendants and they admit a bright red glow and shine. When they get into position, the curtains open and they start to sing their vocals for the show.
