Chapter 1: Siren Calling
At the theater in the Canterlot City Park on avery hot summer day, the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings are having band practice. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Sun and Fluttershy are getting their instruments ready. Twilight, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, Falling Star, and Sonata are getting the microphone, speakers, and other equipments set.
Apple begins fanning with her hat and says, "Hooey! It sure is hot today."
"I know. I feel like I'm going to melt," Sonata complains.
"I feel like I want an ice bag on my head," Aria agrees, fanning herself with a fan.
"I know what you mean. I could use a cold drink right about now," Rarity adds.
"Or maybe some ice cream," Fluttershy replies, tuning her tambourine.
"Come guys, we can't let a little heat stop us from doing a little practice. We all agreed to do a one hour practice at the theater,"
Sun says.
Adagio groans, "If I knew it was going to be this hot, I would rethink on the practice schedule or at least do it somewhere else."
"I know, but the school is closed, and our housing space is either too small or our music will disturb our parents," Falling Star replies.
"And our loud music will bother some of the animals at the shelter," Fluttershy adds.
"How about we do one song, and then we'll end practice for now," Sun suggests.
"I agree," Applejack says.
The others agree too.
Twilight asks, "What song should we do?"
"How about we let the Dazzlings choose one. They barely choose the songs to play for practice," Pinkie suggests.
"Yippie!" Sonata cheers.
"Sure. Got any idea, Adagio?" Aria answers.
"I know just the song for this practice session," Adagio says.
After they get the instruments and microphones set up, the girls are ready to play their song.
Pinkie taps her drumsticks as she shouts, "One, two, three four!"
Rarity first plays her keytar. Then the others join in to the melody. Adagio and the Dazzlings are in the center stage with microphones in their hands.
Adagio Dazzle:
I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're lickin' your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby (Baby baby baby)
Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk
Ooh
Adagio Dazzle:
my body's sayin' let's go
Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk:
Ooh
Adagio Dazzle:
but my heart is sayin' no
Soon the Dazzlings transform with their transparent wings, pony ears, and extended hair alone with the girls
The Dazzlings:
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
Adagio Dazzle:
(Oh yeah)
The Dazzlings:
Gotta like what you do
Adagio Dazzle:
(I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out)
During the song, people who hears the song comes over to watch the performance. It doesn't take long for the girls to see the audience is starting to form, but decide to continue with the show.
Adagio Dazzle:
The music's fading and the lights down low
Just one more dance and then we're good to go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby (Baby baby baby)
Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk:
Ooh,
Adagio Dazzle:
my body's sayin' let's go
Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk:
Ooh,
Adagio Dazzle:
but my heart is sayin' no (but my heart is sayin' no)
The Dazzlings:
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
Adagio Dazzle:
(I'm a genie in a bottle)
The Dazzlings:
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
Adagio Dazzle:
(Oh)
The Dazzlings:
I can make your wish come true
Adagio Dazzle:
(Your wish come true oh)
The Dazzlings:
Just come and set me free baby
And I'll be with you
Adagio Dazzle:
(I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out)

After the song has finish, the audience cheers and clap with smiles on their faces. The Rainbooms and the Dazzlings are a big hit, even though it's band practice. After the practice session, the girls are in the ice cream parlor to get some cold sweet goodies in their tummies
Pinkie ears a spoon full, and says with glee, "So gooooood!"
"And cold. Perfect for a hot day like today," Sonata agrees.
"You said it," Aria replies.
Twilight asks. "So what you want to do after this?"
"I don't know. The weather is getting really hot. I'm hoping to go to the animal shelter to see how the animals are doing," Fluttershy answers.
"Yeah. It's too hot to play sports unless you're in the water," Rainbow agrees.
"We could go to the pool after we eat, but we will have to get our swimsuits first," Falling Star says.
"A cold swim could help us cool off from this hot weather," Adagio agrees.
Sun smiles, "Maybe we can ask if anyone of our siblings want to come."
The girls agree to the idea.
Suddenly, Sun, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata begin to glow and expose a color magical aura that represent them. Then Sun gains her pony wings, ears, and extended tail while the Dazzlings gain their ears, extended hair, and transparent wings. The girls are surprised to see this event. After the glowing event, their marks appear on their face and begin flashing.
"What in the Sam Hill is that?" Applejack asks.
"You all transformed all of the sudden," Pinkie replies.
"It's weird. We weren't singing or anything," Aria says.
"I have no idea what it even about," Sonata replies.
Aria rolls her eyes, "You don't know a lot of things, Sonata."
"I do so," Sonata protests in a huff.
"Enough you two, we need to figure out why we transform all of the sudden," Adagio sternly says.
Sun thinks about it, and remembers, "You know, I think so,etching like this happened before."
The girls look at Sun with confused looks.
"What is it darling?" Rarity asks.
"Well, remember the Anon-A-Miss incident before winter break," Sun says.
"How can we forget," Rainbow dryly replies.
"Well, I remember transforming unexpectedly before. After that, Princess Twilight wrote to me that I was called by the map about a friendship problem that needed to be fixed in Canterlot," Sun explains.
Sonata asks, "Are you saying that all four of us are being called to the map right now?"
"Sun's right, Princes Twilight wrote a message to you that you, the Dazzlings, and herself are being called by the map," Pinkie says, holding the journal to the page of the message.
Sun and the Dazzlings look at the message to see what Princess Twilight has written.
The letter says, "Dear Sun,
How are you and the girls doing in Canterlot City? Sorry I haven't written to you for some time, I've been busy running my new Friendship School with my friends. The school has been very successful so far, and I can't wait to show it today.
I getting a little off track right now. Just now, the map called me and I rushed to the castle. To my surprise to see you, and the Dazzlings are being called somewhere that is not in Equestria. I like you girls to come over so I can show you, and figure out the friendship problem that we need to do.
Your friend,
Princess Twilight Sparkle"
After looking at the message, Applejack says," Well I'll be, looks like you girls are going on a trip."
"And it's somewhere not in Equestria! Can you get me a souvenir?!" Pinkie happily asks.
Sun giggles, "It also looks like the five of us are going on a friendship mission."
In the castle, Princess Twilight is waiting for Sun and the others at the portal. Suddenly, Princess Twilight stops to see the portal activating. Soon, an alicorn and three merlo its exits the portal, and falls the the floor.
Sonata waves her hoof, and happily says, "Hi Princess Twilight."
"Hi Sonata. Hi girls," Princess Twilight replies with a giggle.
After helping the girls up and transform them into humans, they reach the throne room.
Sun asks, " So Princess Twilight, where are we going for our friendship mission?"
"Yeah. All you wrote is that it's not in Equestria," Aria replies.
"That's just it, I don't really know what the place is," Princess Twilight answers.
"You don't know?" Adagio questions.
"I don't. It's a place that the girls and I never been to. I'm hoping you girls can help me figure out where that place is," Princess Twilight says, showing the girls the map.
"We'll help you. Let's see what the map what's us to go," Sun replies.
The girls look at the map to see their marks are floating somewhere far west of Equestria, In fact, where the map is showing is somewhere in the ocean. The only thing on the map is a small island in the middle of the water. There are also three sparkling palm trees with seashells on it.
Seeing the tree shocked the Dazzlings.
"Dagi, is that what I think it is?" So at surprisingly asks.
"It is," Adagio answers in shock.
"But… It can't be," Aria adds.
"Are you guys okay?" Sun asks.
"Yeah. You three are looking rather shocked," Princess Twilight ads.
"Oh we're shocked all right, because we know exactly where we're going," Aria speaks up.
"Really? Where?" Sun asks.
"This is… Or should I say was our home… Merpony Wave Cove," Adagio answers.
Sun and Princess Twilight gasp in shock. The place they're going to is actually the Dazzlings old home.
