A Great Way to Meet Other Students

Sunset was walking through the hallway to the school's foyer. Though, she couldn't help but find herself looking up at the corners of the ceiling. Sunset had always felt she was being watched by someone that wasn't any of the students at school nor even the Humane 5, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna and it had been there since she arrived into the human world. However, Sunset soon started to feel aware of the surveillance placed onto her as she had grown suspicion of the cameras that she had never seen before even when it wasn't aimed toward her. But all of that didn't seem to matter as she would often think about the figure she presumably imagined back at the Fall Formal, which she had told no one about. She would still get an unnerving chill just from even thinking about that creepy man with the multiple tentacles that swarmed around him, to the point where at rare moments she would even have nightmares about it. She didn't want this to affect her first impression with the new students she was meeting and hopefully everyone else, so, she put all her focus and attention on her assignment, hoping it would keep her from thinking about...him...

"Hi, are you the girls I'm supposed to show around?" Sunset said to who she assumed were the new students she was assigned to.

"We are." One of the girls answered Sunset, stepping forward from the shadows and revealing themselves to be Adagio, Aria and Sonata in new outfits.

"Canterlot High is a great school. You're really gonna love it." Sunset said to the girls as she gave them a tour through the school.

"Oh, yes. We really sense there's something...magical about this place." Adagio remarked.

Sunset lead the girls through several hallways, showing them the various classrooms.

"That's the science lab. Computer lab is in there. Ooo! We're having a big musical showcase this weekend." Sunset informed the girls before stopping in front of a poster advertising the upcoming musical showcase, "The whole school is pretty much rallying around it."

"A musical showcase?" Adagio asked, with said event catching her interest subtlely scheming to her co-horts, who shared the same thing.

"I'm sure since you're new, Principal Celestia would let you sign up if you're interested." Sunset suggested.

"We have been known to sing from time to time." Aria bragged a little.

"Hello?! Like, we sing, like, all the time." Sonata reminded Aria. "It's how we get people to do whatever we want."

Adagio then tried to signal to Sonata to zip it.

"Wh-What did I say?" Sonata asked Adagio oblivious.

"What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way to meet other students." Adagio corrected Sonata.

"Oh, yeah." Sonata responded casually. "What she said what I meant to say. That's what I meant. To say."

"And what you would've said if you weren't the worst." Aria stated to Sonata.

"You are!" Sonata said back.

"You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots." Adagio told Sunset.

Sunset didn't know what else to say after seeing these girls' behavior. The four stood there awkwardly for a moment until Sunset noticed the necklaces they were all wearing.

Sunset nervously chuckled. "Those are pretty. Where did you--"

Adagio quickly grabbed Sunset's arm, but soon let go.

Adagio nervously laughed. "Sorry. These pendants mean an awful lot to us. We just hate for anything to happen to them."

Adagio then left Sunset along with Aria. Sonata stayed behind looking innocently to Sunset before being dragged away by Adagio, leaving Sunset to ponder who these girls were. She soon turned around after hearing a skittering sound from behind, only to find nothing. Her reflection was shown on the lens of a security camera as she soon headed for the cafeteria when the camera transformed to a spider bot and scurried off in the opposite direction.

Later, Sunset joined her friends at their table in the cafeteria.

"So? How was the tour?" Applejack asked Sunset.

"I don't know." Sunset answered unsure. "I mean, these girls, they were... There was something off about them."

"Like, off like this?" Pinkie asked placing the end of her hair over her mouth to make it look like she had a beard, "Or off like this?" Pinkie asked again, this time placing two pieces of lettuce on her eyebrows and two carrots in her mouth to make them look like fangs, "Or, oh-oh-like--"

"Maybe we should just let her tell us." Rainbow suggested as she and Pinkie turned to her.

"That's just it. I can't put my finger on it." Sunset continued to explain. "They just acted sort of...strange around me. Maybe someone already talked to them. Told them about what I did. *sighs* So much for making a good first impression."

Sunset sank her head down to the table upset, while the Humane 5 showed concern for her.

"Uh-huh." Fluttershy replied not seeming to get what Sunset meant until she saw her friends giving her confused looks, to which she then said, "Oh. That's probably not it." Fluttershy then sank down underneath the table sheepishly as her friends continued to stare confused at her.

Adagio, Aria and Sonata were, meanwhile, outside the cafeteria.

"This is it, girls. The moment we've been waiting for." Adagio told her co-horts.

"Lunch?!" Sonata guessed rather excitedly, to Adagio and Aria's confusion.

Adagio facepalmed at Sonata's obliviousness with a groan. "The chance to get our true Equestrian magic back."

"Oh. Right." Sonata replied.

"Our voices are just strong enough to make them want something so badly, that they'll fight to get it." Adagio said as she looked into the cafeteria of all the students inside.

"So, are we just gonna do what we always do? Stir up some trouble and feed off the negative energy?" Aria asked unimpressed with Adagio's plan. "Some plan, Adagio."

"It won't be the same as the times before." Adagio stated to Aria. "There is Equestrian magic here. Their negative energy will give us the power we need to get this entire world to do our bidding."

"But we can get lunch after, though, right?" Sonata asked, confusing Adagio again as she saw Sonata standing by a taco poster. "It's taco tuesday!"

"Just follow my lead!" Adaigo came up to Sonata and ordered.

"Or my lead." Aria suggested.

"My. Lead!" Adagio growled and threatened at Aria grabbing her by her vest. Once she saw that Aria got the message, she let go and proceeded to the cafeteria.

Aria felt intimidated by Adagio's threat, which Sonata was slightly amused by, to Aria's chagrin.

Sunset and the Humane 5 were the first to spot the three girls Sunset gave the tour earlier in the distance from their table.

Pretty soon, almost everyone in the cafeteria was turning their attention to the three girls singing.

The three then got together and raised their arms in the air as their pendants all shined brightly.

As what Adagio said, a fire burned brightly within nearly everyone, now entranced by the singing.

The last part got some of the students to rethink about the Musical Showcase. And pretty soon, they were all glaring at each other in competitive envy.

"I can beat you!" One of the students started arguing with the other.

"Ha! You wish!" The other argued.

"I so want this!" Trixie exclaimed.

"Not if I get it first!" Another student claimed to Trixie.

One by one, everyone was at each other's throat and were now obsessed with wanting to win the Musical Showcase, forgetting the fact that it was a charity event.

Within a few minutes, Adagio and her friends had successfully gotten everyone in the cafeteria under their spell as the entire room filled with the green mist that surrounded all the students arguing, which gave the three more power. Sunset and the Humane 5, however, were the only ones the spell didn't affect as they had stared in confusion at the events that transpired before their eyes.

"Oohhh, they're that kind of 'off'." Pinkie said now getting what Sunset was talking about.
