A/N: This story covers the three half-hour Equestria Girls specials that aired in June and July 2017.

This chapter is told through flashbacks from Olivia's POV.

It's been a few weeks since the trip to Camp Everfree, and things have returned to normal. For now, anyway. It's only a matter of time until another person consumed with Equestrian magic shows up and the girls have to deal with her. I'm okay with it – it's a nice change from what I was going through – but Cloudflare isn't. He told me he's gotten used to magical adventures, but I can tell he hasn't fully embraced them.

After raising enough money to save Camp Everfree, we needed to raise enough to fix the damage from Gloriosa going mad with power. Following a bake sale, a day care for dogs, one of Trixie's magic shows, and a car wash, we only came up with half of what was needed, and the deadline was a week away. I went with Rarity to the mall to see if we could come up with anything to close the gap. That's when we saw an advertisement for a dance video contest... and ran into some of the Crystal Prep students.

Rarity grabs one of the entry cards and starts filling it out.

"Rarity! Olivia!" We turn around. "What a nice surprise!" Four girls from Crystal Prep approach us: Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat, and Lemon Zest.

"What's up, Frostie?" Lemon says. We do our special handshake: A mid-five, followed by a fist bump into open hands with an explosion noise.

"It's not a secret handshake when you do it in public," Sugarcoat says.

Still saying exactly what's on her mind, I see. "That's why we call it a special handshake."

"Sour Sweet! Sunny Flare!" Rarity says. "Why, it's been ages!"

"It's only been a few months since the Friendship Games," Sugarcoat says.

"Is that all? Wow! How is everything at Crystal Prep?"

"Oh, things at CPA have never been better since Principal Cadance took over," Sunny Flare says.

I wonder what happened to Cinch. Lemon said nobody's seen her since she was fired.

"Yeah," Sour Sweet says, "she's going to let us have the spring dance on a yacht! If we raise the money..."

I'm surprised they don't already have dances like that. Then again, that's probably what Cinch would've done if they had won the Friendship Games, and with Cinch MIA, they have to make it happen the hard way.

"Are you two signing up for the 'Chance to Prance' contest, too?" Lemon asks.

"We are!" Rarity puts the card in the box.

"So you girls are entering as well?" I ask.

"We definitely aren't here because we like standing in lines." I wonder how many friends Sugarcoat has.

"I assume you already have a video concept figured out?" Sour Sweet asks. "The competition's going to be pretty fierce!"

"Yes! It came to me as soon as I saw that gorgeous, red, ruffled ensemble on the way over here."

"Oh? Tell me more." She glances back at Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare, who are smirking.

I really hope she doesn't tell them. "Uh, Rarity? Maybe you shouldn't –"

"Well, each member of the Rainbooms is going to dance in a different style, like flamenco, hip-hop, or street ballet, and we'll wear costumes to match each genre, designed by yours truly, of course." She giggles.

I sigh. "Oh, Rarity..."

"That sounds like a very good concept." I'm surprised Sugarcoat didn't outright say they're going to use it.

"Yeah, I guess it's okay," Sour Sweet says, "if you're going for way too over-the-top."

"Thanks!" Rarity says. "So, what's your concept?"

"Nothing. We don't have one yet." I saw a movie like this once. People saying exactly what's on their minds because they don't know how to lie.

"Uh, what she means," Sour Sweet says, "is it's a surprise! But, it's amazing! It's so original!"

"Oh, well I can't wait to see it," Rarity says. "Good luck!" She waves to them as she walks away.

"You too!"

"I'll catch up in a minute," I tell Rarity. I look at the Shadowbolts. "You're gonna steal her concept, aren't you?"

"We're not stealing it," Sunny Flare says. "We're gonna use her idea to make ours even better!"

I cross my arms. "Uh-huh." I focus my gaze on Sugarcoat.

"Yes, we're gonna steal it."

"Thought so. Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell her. I'll just sit back, and whatever happens, happens." I look at Lemon. "You're not on board with this, are you?"

"I don't agree with it, but we gotta do what we can to get that yacht."

I sigh. When Lemon's in any type of competition, she acts just like a typical Crystal Prep student, and I really hate that.

"We promised the dance would be held there instead of in the auditorium," she continues.

"And if you don't win, the other students will be mad at you..." Even with Cinch gone, things are still the same. I'm so glad I went back to CHS. "Well, good luck. I guess we'll see who can pull off the concept the best."

"Oh, don't worry," Sour Sweet says. "It'll be us!"

In an all-or-nothing move, Rarity used the money we had raised so far to purchase the materials for the outfits. If this worked out, we'd get double the amount needed to fix the camp. If it didn't, we'd be back to square one with no chance of meeting the deadline.

Cloudflare and I told Rarity we didn't want to be in the video, as neither of us can dance. He figuratively has two left feet, and I literally have only a left foot. We still helped out, though. Cloudflare manned the camera and edited the video, while I took care of the audio. The initial rehearsal was... a bit of a train wreck, but that's why it's a rehearsal. Rarity was a bit frustrated everybody was taking so long to master the choreography.

After she told us the Crystal Prep students stole her video idea, she wanted to confront them at Crystal Prep. Twilight and I volunteered to take her there.

We sneak through the front doors of Crystal Prep and through the halls. I'm still not sure why Rarity is trying to disguise herself with a hood and big glasses while Twilight and I aren't. Maybe Rarity thinks they won't recognize us if we're wearing regular clothes instead of Crystal Prep uniforms.

"Okay," Rarity whispers. "Where's the dance studio?"

"There's a dance studio?" Twilight asks.

"Didn't you go to this school?"

"I can show you where the library is." That's probably the only place she remembers here.

Oh, hey. "It's right there," I say, pointing to the open door at the end of the hall.

"How did you know that's it?" Twilight asks. "You said you can't dance."

"Sonata told me she and the other Dazzlings rehearse in there occasionally."

"The... Dazzlings?" Rarity asks.

"This world's Dazzlings, not the sirens."

Music starts playing from that room. We walk into the room, and the girls finish their routine.

"Hey, girls!" Sour Sweet says to us. "So what did you think of our routine? Scared yet?"

"Don't change the subject, Sour Sweet!" Rarity exclaims.

"But you didn't bring up a subject." Surely Sugarcoat knows why we're here. The subject was implied.

"You either!" Try calming down a bit, Rarity.

"Oooookay..."

"You know why we're here. You stole my - our - music video idea! Now... change your concept or... else."

"Sorry, but we can't," Sour Sweet says, and all four of them laugh.

"And why is that?" Twilight asks.

"Because we care about winning," Sunny Flare says. "Duh!"

"And we will," Sour Sweet says, "because we're just about to submit our video!" They laugh again.

"By the way, Frost," Sunny Flare says, "it's not nice to break your promises."

"I didn't break my promise. I kept quiet, just like I said I would. Rarity found out on her own."

"You knew about this?" Twilight asks me.

"I knew as soon as Rarity told them her concept. I tried to warn her beforehand."

"It doesn't matter," Rarity says. "We're still doing our video the way we planned!"

"Go ahead," Sour Sweet says, "but there's just one flaw in your little plan."

"By the time you submit yours," Sunny Flare says, "it'll just look like you copied us!"

"Except a worse version," Sugarcoat says.

The next day, Rarity overheard the Shadowbolts talking about how they didn't submit their video yet because they didn't have their own song, and their reasons for using Rarity's concept were exactly what Lemon told me. After hearing this, Rarity decided to put the Shadowbolts and Rainbooms in the same video, and if we won, we would split the prize money.

Which we did. Camp Everfree is gonna look good as new, Crystal Prep is having a dance on a yacht, all of us are friends now, and a few Crystal Prep students finally learned that winning isn't everything. It all worked out in the end. Although I don't consider Sunny Flare a friend yet. I'm still a bit mad at her for the stunt she pulled during that sleepover.

A/N: The other 2 won't be this short. I wanted to do something for "Dance Magic", but there wasn't much to work with.
