Why?

Just why?

Why do girls that have magical powers transfer into this school at the same time one of my old friends does as well?

I sat up in my bed in the basement, and sighed. What happened back in the cafeteria was a pure and utter mystery to me really, and having to explain everything to Urchin was really what I had not wanted to do. Now that I had done it anyway, I wondered how he was handling it. Really did wonder how he was handling it, because yeah. Transferring into another school, reuniting with your old friend, only to found out magic exists.. that’s sure a lot to stomach, let alone manage.

Either way, what happened in the cafeteria was unsettling, to say the least. It seemed as if fate was not done with me and magic related incidents at Canterlot High. The thought of having to do the same shit I pulled against Sunset Shimmer, only this time against not 1, but three magical beings.. I shuddered at the thought of it. I would surely die there. 

The one interesting part of it all was what was going on between Urchin and Adagio. There was some attraction between them, I could see that right off the bat from the way he looked at her. A thought then struck my mind. What if I got Urchin and Flash together with myself as a band and enter the battle of the bands? 

The gears in my mind began to turn as I thought over this. I had always been noted in District 2 High for playing at an opponent’s weaknesses in a face to face fight or if it was Company Of Heroes or some other game, for playing at the weaknesses the opponent had against my own side. Either way, the only thing I could go when planning how I was going to neutralize Adagio and her sisters, who through Flash I learned called themselves The Dazzlings, was that connection between her and Urchin. It was a long shot plan, but it was all I could come up with. 

I would write in my journal to Twilight later that night, describing the three girls to Twilight, only to learn that they were Sirens, creatures that feed off of disharmony. I sighed, then took multiple deep breaths.

Of course, my old friend from middle school has to move here, transfer into the school I’m at, and yet somehow doesn’t get drained of harmony and has an attraction to a Siren. Great. Just fucking great.

Yeah, I was definitely going with the whole ‘joining the battle of the bands so Urchin can get close to Adagio’ idea. Like I said, it was the only good idea I had at the moment, but it was better than nothing. 

I sigh again. At this point, I only hope that Jackie doesn’t have a negative reaction to this plan of mine.
