Aria Blaze enters a low-grade singing competition in order to gain its audience's hatred and reassure to herself that she's lost her singing voice forever, but fate has different plans when she comes across a Sapphire Shores who wants to prove that she has the skills to teach absolutely anyone how to sing.

It's the inescapable question, no matter what type of interview. Ponies just can't help themselves.

No harm done, though. Sapphire knows her answer will always be the same.

It was over. The Dazzlings were defeated in the Battle Of The Bands by the Sonic Rainbooms. The necklaces shattered, shattering their lives. Their self-concept was also shattered. Their music career was over. They thought they would never sing again.

Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle returns to the Equestria Girls universe to meet up with Sunset Shimmer. Both noticing the Dazzlings have changed, they offer them a deal. A deal to go back to Equestia to start over. To get their necklaces repaired and drained of their evil magic. To become ponies again. A second chance.

Upon returning to Equestria, the Dazzlings meet a pony named Sapphire Shores. She also loved to sing. Will she help these ponies truly redeem themselves and get them back to singing again?

Sometimes a good deed or a generous gift can truly go a long way: it can even form new friendships and take a pony places they weren't expecting to go. When a tragedy-stricken Applejack receives a letter in the mail, containing some money from a dear friend of hers, she sets in motion an impulsive series of events that change not only her life, but her heart.

The year is 1938, and Private Investigator Octavia Melody is an excellent detective. Possibly the best in Equestria.
In accordance to her occupation, she was invited by Prince Blue Blood, an eccentric with a most definitely questionable sense of humour, to a dinner party of his organisation and to a personal exhibition. An exhibition of the perfect murder.
This exhibition is interrupted, however, when Prince Blue Blood is found dead whilst his dinner guests played bridge only a few yards away. Of the eight guests, four of them are well-established investigators, Octavia included. Now the investigators must determine which of the remaining four guests is a murderer. Can Octavia discover the murderer before they kill again?

Saxy Tone is a saxophone player from Ponyville who -- like any other musician -- wants his name to stand out in the world of entertainment as a famous musician. Even though he wants to reach stardom as quickly as possible, he certainly has to start from the bottom of the barrel and crawl up into the ranks of better musicians. How far will he go and what risks he will take to achieve his goal?

Goodness, Sapphire Shores could scarcely stand the innuendo about her favorite pony Rarity! and now, it's it a new pitch with this scurrilous accusation that she was a... murderess?! Well, if it's the last thing Sapphire does, she'll set the story straight, and take you behind the curtain to show to the real Rarity- and how the elegant Element got through to her once-hardened heart.
