At Crystal Prep, there are a few students who are going in and out of the school. That's because there are summer activities or classes that goes on for the summer. So students can learn or do different activities. Twilight gives Cadence a heads up about going to the school so they are able to get in without causing problems.
Twilight, Sun, and the others walk inside to find the Shadowbolt girls. Of course, Rarity is wearing large sunglasses and a hood so she won't be recognized. Sun and the others think it's a bit strange, even for Rarity.
Rarity turns to Twilight and asks, "Okay, where's the dance studio?"
"There's a dance studio?" Twilight questions.
The others look at Twilight with confused look on their faces.
Adagio arches her eye brow and asks, "Didn't you go to this school?"
"Well, I can show you where the library is," Twilight says with a sheepish smile.
"Of course you would," Sun replies.
Just then, the girls begin to listen to loud music.
"That sounds like music," Sun says.
"That the song they were playing at the mall," Rarity clarifies.
The girls look ahead to see one of the doors is open. They can see that inside is a large mirror, part of a pull, and a wooden floor.
"I think we found the dance studio," Falling Star replies.
Sun and the girls walk to the door where they hear the music. When they look inside they can see Sour Sweet and the girls practicing their dance routine. When they finish the pose, Rarity is stunned to see how good the girls are.
With a smirk, Sour asks, "Hey, girls! So what did you think of our routine? Scared yet?"
"Don't change the subject, Sour Sweet!" Rarity angrily says.
"But you didn't bring up a subject," Sugarcoat replies.
"You, either!" Rarity loudly glares at Sugarcoat.
"Ooookay…" Sour replies.
Sun gets between the two group, and says, "Alright, let's try to be calm about this, and…"
But Rarity cuts her off, and angrily says, "You know why we're here! You stole my… our music video idea! Now... change your concept, or else!"
"Sorry, heh, but we can't," Sour remarks.
The other girls begin laughing.
"And why is that?" Twilight asks.
"And why are you laughing?" Falling Star adds.
"Because we care about winning. Duh!" Sour answers.
Then Sunny says, "And we will, because we're just about to submit our video."
"You're what?" Rarity exclaims.
She stammers a bit, and says, "It doesn't matter! Because we are still doing our video the way we planned!"
"Go ahead. But there's just one flaw in your little plan," Sour remarks.
"By the time you submit yours, it'll just look like you copied us," Sunny replies with a smirk on her face.
Except the worse version," Sugarcoat adds.
Lemon then turns on the radio and begin to practice their routine again. Sun sternly glares at the girls, and has something to say to them.
Sun turns off the radio and firmly says, "And what you girls done is worse."
The Shadowbolts look at each other with confused looks on their faces.
"What do you mean?" Lemon asks.
"I thought you girls have gotten over this whole 'trying to win at all cost' thing, but sadly I was wrong. You girls stole Rarity's concept idea to use to win and didn't give a care. Don't you girls remember what happened the last time you tried to use something that didn't belong to you? It backfired on you very bad and it affected everyone else including yourselves." Sun confronts them.
The girls become stunned to hear Sun saying that to them. This end up inspiring Adagio, Falling Star, and Twilight to speak up to them as well.
"Yes, and I should know because my sisters and I did the exact same thing. We only thought about ourselves when we were sirens. However, in doing so, we not only hurt everyone else, but we end up hurting ourselves as well. If it hadn't been for Sun and her friends showing that what we did isn't worth all of this, Black Stone would have taken over this world," Adagio firmly explains her story.
Falling Star comes in, and says, "Sames goes for me. Back then, I was consumed with my own anger, the magic, and my desire to get back at the bullies at my school, that I not only cause harm to everyone around me, but I did it to myself."
"So you see girls, winning is never worth if you did something that ends up hurting to someone else. At the end, you'll end up hurting yourselves at the end, just like what happened at the Friendship Games." Twilight calmly replies with a sad look.
Sun sighs, "I want you all to think about this really hard. Is being driven by winning really with all this trouble. And if you did learn something from this, I'd expect you to give Rarity an apology."
Sun and her friends leave the dance studio. AS they leave, the Shadowbolt girls are looking at each other, actually thinking on what Sun has said. Is winning the music video really worth stealing someone else's idea.
Back at the school music room, Sun and the others have return and give them the bad news. What's more Rarity is distress about the whole thing. However, everyone else are surprised to hear what Sun has said to the Shadowbolt girls, and how Twilight, Adagio, and Falling Star have speak up to them as well.
"Woah! I can't believe Sun actually did that?!" Sonata asks in shock.
"I know. Seeing Sun speak up to them caused us to want to speak up to them too," Adagio adds.
Falling Star nods her head, "Yeah. I… I didn't think I had it in me."
"I know. I didn't think Sun can be so severe about it," Rarity says.
Twilight asks, "Are you alright, Sun?"
"Yeah, I was just disappointed in them. I just hope what I said can get through to them," Sun replies.
Then Rarity says in remorse, "Oh, this is all my fault! All the money we raised is gone, and now we have no music video! I should never have convinced you all that we could pull this off in so little time!"
"Are you crazy? We're great at doing stuff super-fast. I mean, look at Pinkie Pie. She just built that castle made entirely out of chocolate bars while we were talking," Rainbow says differently.
They look to see that Pinkie has build a castle out of chocolate, icing, and other kinds of sweets. It's tall as half of the room from the floor to the ceiling. She has just finished putting the chocolate star on top of the castle, using the piano to do so.
Sun says, looking impressed, "That's so cool. It looks like Princess Twilight's castle."
Pinkie eats a piece, and happily offers, "Want some?"
The girls calmly denies.
"What I want is a new video concept!" Rarity whines.
Pinkie shrugs and eat more of the chocolate bar.
Adagio sighs, "I just can't believe the Shadowbolts would be so stubborn. I mean my sisters and I used to be like that, and we changed for the better."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll come around," Sun reassures.
"Famous last words," Aria mutters.
"Yeah. Those girls didn't act very nice," Sonata adds.
Sun turns to Falling Star and notices a concern and sad look on her face.
Sun walks over, and asks, "Falling Star, is everything alright?"
"I'm fine. So let's try to come up with a new music video concept.
"Yeah, let's create one!" Rainbow replies.
"Really?" Rarity questions with a large smile.
Sun stand up and says, "I'm sure if we all put our heads together, we'll come up with something even better than before."
A bit skeptic, Rarity says, "Okay. I suppose it's worth a try."
Out of nowhere, Pinkie drages all of the girls with their heads close together. Some of them are feeling a bit uncomfortable with their personal space.
"I think it's working!" Pinkie happily says.
"I doubt it," Aria mutters.
Sonata firmly stare at Aria, "Aria, you can be a bit of a grouch sometime.s
Just then, Applejack has an idea, "Yeah! I-I got somethin'! Okay, so we're in home-ec class…"
With their imagination, they are in the home-ec classroom, and are wearing western style clothes, with hats, boots, and some wear bandanas. Rarity shreeks in reply, seeing the outfit she is wearing.
"This outfit is so not working for me," Adagio firmly replies.
"...bakin' some apple fritters! And then, a fresh batch comes outta the oven." Applejack adds.
With that traies of apple fritters appear in front of the group.
Smelling the hot fritters, Applejack sighs, and says, "And everybody's havin' a great time!"
Everyone begin to have a conversation as they are having apple fritters for a snack.
Before Rarity can eat something, she realizes "Wait. So basically, we are eating pastries at school in our music video?"
Applejack nervously laughs, and admits, "Uh, I guess I'm just kinda hungry."
"Anyone have another idea?" Rarity firmly asks.
Rainbow gets in and says, "Oh, oh! I do! So... we're in the middle of the jungle."
"And we're being chased by henchmen who are shooting poison arrows at us!" Rainbow adds as her imagination takes them into the jungle.
Everything is how Rainbow says. They are running through the jungle and poisonous arrows begin shooting all over the place. The girls scream as they are running from the attacks.
Then Rainbow loudly says, "When suddenly, out of nowhere, the shadow of a giant beast appears!"
Just like Rainbow says, a monster appears that has a long head and sharp claws.
"Wait a second! Isn't this a scene from the latest Daring Do book?" Twilight says, realizing where the scene is from.
Rainbow nervously laughs, and says, "Oh, yeah. That's why it seemed so cool. Never mind."
"Maybe we should do one that is not considered plagiarizing," Falling Star suggests.
"Touche," Rainbow remarks.
"Okay! I've got it!" Pinkie hollers with glee.
Rarity screams almost getting hit by the air, and says, "Please, do tell."
"We'll start out on... the moon!" Pinkie happily explains her idea.
Pinkie then use her imagination to picture the girls are on the moon in space. They also carry their instruments and microphones.
"And we'll be wearing really sparkly costumes," Pinkie adds.
But Pinkie changes her mind, "No, wait! We'll be in spacesuits!"
The girls are now wearing space helmets.
Then Pinkie happily shouts, "We're surrounded by gorgonzola cheese!"
Within Pinkie's imagination, everyone but Rarity begin to float in space. The girls are having a fun time flying in space.
Then Pinkie cheerfully adds, "But then, a space doggie walks over and start to eat the cheese!"
Spike float to one of them wearing a helmet. Then eats one of the cheese, and says in satisfaction, "Mmm! Rich with buttery undertones."
As they are pretending to play in space, Rarity is looking around to see the girls having a lot of fun. Sadly, she is not in the mood to play.
Having enough, Rarity shouts, "Stop!"
Snapping to reality in the music room, everyone look to see that Rarity is not very happy.
"This will never work!" Rarity screams.
"Aw, why not?" Pinkie asks, still holding a smile.
"Because the contest is for dance music videos, and not one of your ideas included dancing at all!" Rarity angrily grumbles.
"But they were pretty funny, huh?" Pinkie replies with a giggle.
She turns to Rainbow and says, "I liked yours, Rainbow Dash."
"Thanks, Pinkie!" Rainbow comments.
Rarity growls feeling furious and mostly frustrated.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asks in concern.
In rage, Rarity shouts, "Okay? No, I am not okay! The contest deadline is tomorrow, and we have just been wasting time!"
Adagio glares at Rarity, "Excuse me. Last time I checked, this music video was your idea."
"Yeah," Aria agrees.
"You haven't come up with any ideas either," Sonata remarks.
"And you can come up with something better!" Rarity sternly says.
"Anything is better than something that doesn't involve food," Adagio remarks.
"Just stop it!" Falling Star yells, catching the others attention.
In tears Falling Star screams, "This is all my fault! I knew those girls were up to something… and… and… It's my fault for not speaking up! Now we'll never get the money for Camp Everfree!"
Falling Star runs out of the room in tears, and to be alone for a while. Sun and Rarity look at each other with worried looks and know that Falling Star need some comfort and support.
