After the three's amulets had been destroyed, they had moved far away from Canterlot High , setting up shop in a rural town in the Northwest. The three were currently on a camping trip. Aria was back at the campfire, twisting her hair while she roasted marshmallows. Meanwhile, Adagio was in the trailer with her newest boyfriend, a ripped, cream skinned quarterback. Sonata's eyes finally caught her prize. A shining light, reflecting the moon's glow, was stuffed in the long, wavering grass. She picked it up slowly. It was a little orb. Red, orange, and pink light swam around in its center, contained by its cool glass surface. She touched it softly. Suddenly the light rushed to her fingertip. She screeched, her finger burning, as she blacked out and disappeared in a flash of blinding light. === She groaned, rubbing her head while she staggered to her feet. She fell against a cold trash can, several rats scurrying out from under the metal bin. Sonata shook visibly, and then attempted to walk once more. She looked down at her legs to see that she had none. She gasped. She was once again a Siren. She peeked out from behind the graffiti filled brick wall. Pastel colored ponies passed by, laughing and enjoying the happiness the wretched magic of friendship brought to their land. Suddenly she felt her skin start to flake. She needed water. Now. She saw a couple, a alabaster unicorn and a mare with a coat like a rumbling thunder cloud. They were headed towards... Sonata gasped. A water park. She looked for something to hide herself. There was a big cardboard box, and some old, smelly jackets resided within it. She carefully pushed herself into the box, and then she draped the coats over her to hide her dolphin like form. She then scooted out of the alleyway, hiding behind a bulky pegasus that looked crazily like Adagio's current boyfriend. She hid behind him until they reached the front gate of the water park. She peeked from under the musty coats to see sparkling pools of refreshing, bluish water. She leapt from the box, jumping over the fence with ease. She flopped wildly on the ground, knocking a lost filly into the bushes. Her skin was unbearably dry, and the concrete ground wasn't helping her case. She gave one last whinny and plopped into the nearest pool. Right on top of the couple she had seen earlier. The one with the shocking blue mane screamed, her screams of "SHARK!!!" sounding through the park. And the gray one fainted, falling limp in the calm pool. Sonata gasped, enjoying the feel. Then ponies swarmed around her. This is gonna be fun she thought as she slapped the first attacker with her scaly tail.
