After Celestia leaves, Sunset sits on the ground, resting her back on the door and closing her eyes. Seconds later, she felt a light kick on her left leg and opening her eyes saw Aria standing.
"So, what happened?"
"Mom doesn't have any memory about Equestria or magic too." Aria noted the sadness in Sunset's voice.
"And how do you know? I didn't hear you asking her anything about it."
"With this," said Sunset lifting her pendant "this gem allows me to read minds and feelings."
Aria sits at her side and Sunset puts her pendant on the siren's hand.
"So, are you saying that this thing is a magical gem?"
"An element of harmony, to be more precise."
"And you put in my hand?"
"I never thought that you are so dumb, Sunset."
Sunset and Aria lift their heads and saw Adagio just a few feet from them."
"Giving your magical gem to Aria? What if she tries to kill you with this?"
"Nah, you won't let this happen."
"And what makes you think that I would stop her?"
"It's simple, you won't let her kill me because you wanna do it and never would forgive yourself if you let someone else have this pleasure. You aren't so different from my old me."
"Well, Adagio, I guess our miss sunshine here lost her mind. She really believes that you would stop me from killing her."
"No, no, she's right."
"What?"
"Come on, Aria, you really think that I will lose the opportunity to feel her dying in my hands and see life leaving her eyes?"
"Anyway. What do you think happened?" asked Aria looking to Sunset.
"I dunno, but I'll discover. If you don't mind, I'll try to sleep. You two can have the bed, I'll share the couch with Sonata."
She extended her hand and Aria handed Sunset's pendant.
The next morning, Sunset is in front of the CHS statue pedestal, she hesitantly touches it and feels nothing but the coldness of marble. She closes her eyes to concentrate and try to read or feel marble's memory but was nothing there, not even a minimal hint of magic.
"So?" Adagio asked.
"There's nothing. It's just a marble block."
"You mean that all magic, except yours, simply disappeared?"
"It's what seems, Aria."
"Your friends don't have pendants like this one that you are using?"
They all look to Sonata.
"What? I saw on their necks yesterday."
Sunset ran and hugged Sonata.
"You are a genius, Sonata. Thank you."
"She is?"
"Aria, like I said yesterday, this gem is an element of harmony, and so are my friends' pendants. so if I can activate them, probably their memories would return."
Sunset puls her phone and texted her friends to meet her after school on CHS statue.
In the afternoon, she and the sirens returned to CHS and saw her friends waiting.
"Girls!"
"Howdy, Sunset."
"How about a group hug?" said Sunset activating her geode.
Sunset and her friends hugged and she could feel something, was like the magic of friendship, but weaker, she opened her eyes and saw the girls' geodes pulsing with light, and then six rays of light were absorbed by her pendant.
They broke the hug and Pinkie asked.
"It's not like I don't like you hugging me, but why this so sudden, Sunny?
"It's nothing, Pinkie. I just am really happy being friends with you girls." Sunset replied with a fake smile. "So who is ready for a movie?"
All the girls cheers and they go to Canterlot Mall.
Back at Sunset's house, she throws herself on the couch, face down.
"It's don't worked." Said Sonata
"Yeah, and now I have no idea how what's going on."
"Your friends seemed pretty happy not knowing about magic."
"Yeah, Aria, I guess they were this way before magic come to this world, what they would be without magic."
Adagio slapped Sunset's butt, who immediately sit.
"Hey, why do you do this?"
"To you move your fat ass and find an answer to this question. And is not that funny having my revenge on you if you aren't at my level."
"And the fact that you were hoping to touch her butt since we met for the first time isn't anything to do with which."
"Shut up, Aria. But you right, I can't deny that you have a nice booty, Sunset."
"Okay, now I don't know if you want to kill or fuck me. I almost prefer the first option."
"Are you sure you don't prefer the last? I assure you that once you try me, you won't regret" said Adagio touching Sunset's lips.
"Pretty sure." replied Sunset pushing Adagio's hand off her face
"So, what are you planning to do? It's not like you can go to Equestria to find out what happened."
"Maybe I can, Sonata. Maybe I have one more chance."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Adagio, you don't come to this world via CHS portal, I suppose."
"We were thrown out a portal in an alley."
"As you see, there's more than one way to reach this world. Some months ago, the girls and I find a portal to Equestria on an island"
"And why do we still sit here?"
"Well, Aria, I don't know exactly where that island is located, I only know that is somewhere around 317 miles from the coast."
"So this is your plan, go to that island and try to reach Equestria from there?"
"I never said that was a good plan. And in the meantime, I will live my life with the girls as normal as possible."
"But, what if you never could go back to Equestria?"
"Well, Sonata, it would be a shame, but I would have to move on, eventually."
"This plan sucks, Sunset. But I have nothing better to do for a while, so let's do this" Said Aria sitting on the couch and turning on the TV
"I'm with Aria. After all, if you can go back to Equestria, we can take this opportunity to have our revenge against Starswril."
"Well, to your luck, he and the pillars are back after a thousand years on the limbo."
"What?"
"Yeah, I forgot to mention that your banishment happened around a millennium ago."
"A thousand years ago?"
"Thousand and ninety-nine eight years, to be exact, Adagio."
"Whatever, what matters is that I can punch that weirdo bearded when we came back to Equestria."
