Later that day at Rarity Belle's home, we see the fashionista sitting at her desk, using a sewing machine to stitch up the ripped jacket while wearing a pair of red-framed glasses over her eyes. Raya Amanda is seen lying down on a bed with Rarity's pet cat, Opal, napping next to her with the pint-sized fashionista reading a teen magazine and weirdly enough, the magazine cover has Eddy Skipper McGee on it.

Then they heard knocking from the door as Rarity took of her glasses. The door opens as Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle enters the room.

"We're here!" Pinkie exclaimed with a big smile.

"We got your text." Twilight noted with her phone up, "You said it was an emergency?" she asked.

"Everythin' all right, sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

Rarity then stood up from her desk, "Well..." she spoke walking towards a purple sofa with a recliner and pillows, "... since you asked..." she said before sitting down and brushing her skirt, "... the answer is no!" she cried out dramatically.

Everyone then looks at Raya whom shrugged her shoulders in response as Fluttershy spoke, "Oh, no!" the shy maiden exclaimed sitting down on the bed while petting Opal, "What happened?" she asked in concern as Spike jumps on the bed.

"Sour Sweet... and the... Crystal... Prep girls stole our video concept!" Rarity replied between her crying, "I saw them filming at the mall!" she cried as her tears ruined her mascara, making everyone cringed, "They copied my design ideas and everything!" she pointed out as Sunset held up Spike on the bed, "So of course they looked absolutely fabulous." she noted, "But the worst part is that they're all incredible dancers!" she cried loudly.

Pinkie then appears next to her, "Major bummer in the summer!" the party girl exclaimed, "Tissue for your issue?" she offered while holding up a tissue paper.

Rarity accepted the tissue and wipes her tears, and blew her nose on it before speaking, "Everyone is counting on me, on the video to win us the prize money for the camp." she explained while leaning down on the couch, "Oh, how could I have been such a fool?!" she screamed angrily with clenched fist, "Of course, those Crystal Preppers stole my concept!" she exclaimed, "I practically served it to them on a platter!" she cried out in frustration.

"Don't be too hard on yourself." Twilight spoke, "It's gonna take more than one Friendship Games for those Crystal Prep girls to learn that winning isn't everything." she pointed out.

"Eh, maybe this was all for the best." Applejack admitted.

"Hmm?" Rarity uttered, "W-What do you mean?" she asked in confusion.

"Uh, your concept and costumes are really awesome..." Applejack admitted nervously, "... but, uh... our dancin'..." she chuckled.

"Nnnnot so much." Sunset said with a giggle.

"We could barely get in a two-step without trippin' over each other's boots." Applejack mused as everyone shared a laughter.

Raya looks up from magazine, "You know I can always ask New Day Jose and Alejandro to help out with the choreography.'' she offered, "If Rarity would allow me to.'' she said.

"As I said before, I appreciate the help Raya but this is something the girls and I should do for ourselves." Rarity reasoned, "Anyway... the point is... we don't have to let them win!" she declared, "That is our video concept!" she pointed out, "And I am going straight to Crystal Prep to let them know that they have messed with the wrong girls!" she declared fiercely, "Who's with me?!" she called out only to receive an awkward silence from her friends, she let's out an awkward huff, "No, n-no, seriously, who is with me?" she asked again, "I have no idea how to get to Crystal Prep..." she admitted sheepishly.

"I'll go." Twilight volunteered, "Maybe I can try to reason with them." she reasoned, "We were classmates once." she pointed out.

"That's the spirit!" Rarity exclaimed in glee before grabbing Twilight's arm, "Come on!" she beckoned before running out of the door.

Raya then stood up from the bed, "I'll go with them.'' she spoke, "I'll make sure that Rarity won't do anything that she'll regret.'' she said earning a nod from Sunset before running out of the door.

"Good-luck!" Pinkie cheered.

Applejack rubs the back of her head, "Ah had a bad feeling about this.'' she admitted.

Bzzzttt...

Crystal Prep Academy or CPA is a high school located in an alternate world of Equestria and it's a rival school to Canterlot High School. Outside the school footsteps, we see tons of students hanging around having a conversation. Unbeknownst to them, we see Rarity, Twilight and Raya peeking out from a corner before sneaking through the doors without anyone noticing.

Rarity and Twilight snuck around the halls while Raya casually walks behind them, avoiding every students as a possible before coming into a corner with Rarity leaning on a locker, "Okay, where's the dance studio?" the fashionista asked taking off her shades.

"There's a dance studio?" Twilight replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Didn't you go to this school?" Rarity pointed out.

"Well, I can show you where the library is..." Twilight replied with a sheepish smile.

Raya then came into view, "Geez... what do you even do here when you're still a student in this school?" she asked indecorously.

Twilight turns to her and noticed that Raya is wearing a Crystal Prep uniform, "Uhh... Raya? Where did you get that uniform?'' she asked in confusion.

Raya smirks while posing, "I look good on them, right?" she claimed, "This school maybe something but I had to admit that the uniform here is pretty stylish, so I made one myself.'' she admitted.

"Well... I had to admit that you look cute in that uniform." Twilight complimented.

Before anyone could utter another word, they heard music which Rarity recognized, "That's their music." she noted before taking notice of an open door down at the end of the hallway, "Bingo!" she exclaimed with grin as the three ran towards the door.

The three girls then peeks at the doorway and watches Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat dancing gracefully, they were so good that it left the fashion designer's mouth open in awe and shock, prompting Raya to close it.

Sour then noticed them, "Hey, girls!" Sour greeted with a wave, "So what did you think of our routine?" she asked with a smug look, "Scared yet?" she asked mockingly.

Lemon then noticed Raya wearing their school's uniform, "Hey! You look good in that!" she complimented.

"Thanks." Raya replied tipping her shades.

Rarity then pointed a finger at Sour, "Don't change the subject, Sour Sweet!" she demanded as Sour raised an eyebrow

"But you didn't bring up a subject..." Sugarcoat pointed out.

"You, either!" Rarity retorted.

Sour rolled her eyes, "Ooookay..." uttered.

"You know why we're here!" Rarity said with her hands at her hips, "You stole my-" she was about to say and noticed Twilight and Raya looking at her, "... our music video idea!" she corrected, "Now... change your concept, or else!" she demanded with a stutter.

"Sorry, heh, but we can't." Sour apologized sarcastically as her friends' let's out a mocking chuckle.

"And why is that?" Twilight asked.

"Because we care about winning." Sunny gloated, "Duh!" she added mockingly.

"And we will." Sour declared, "Because we're just about to submit our video." she claimed while letting out a mocking laughter alongside her friends, much to Rarity chagrin.

Rarity looks at them in shock, "You're what?" she squawked, "I-I-It doesn't matter!" she stuttered out, "Because we are still doing our video the way we planned!" she declared with her arms crossed.

"Go ahead." Sour egged, "But there's just one flaw in your little plan..." she noted.

Raya tips her shades down, "And what is that?'' she asked.

"By the time you submit yours." Sunny replied, "... it'll just look like you copied us." she pointed out.

"Except the worse version." Sugarcoat bluntly added.

Lemon then hits the play button of the radio as she and the other Shadowbolts resumed their practice for their routine, making Rarity puffed her cheeks in frustration before marching out of the dance room.

"Rarity! Wait!" Twilight called out running after the fashion designer.

Raya stayed behind while staring at the door where Rarity and Twilight exited before speaking, "Huh? I heard a lot of unpleasant things about this school but I had no idea that it's a lot more worse than I expected." she stated, "It's no wonder Twilight and Indigo left this school.'' she pointed out and proceeds to walk towards the door.

The Shadowbolts were taken aback when Raya mentioned Indigo's name, "Wait!" Sunny called out which halted Raya a little, "You know Indigo Zap?'' she asked.

Raya slightly turns her head to them, "What about it?'' she questioned.

"H-How is she?" Sunny asked in concern.

Raya's eyes narrowed, "You people don't deserve to know.'' she replied before walking out of the room before anyone of them can utter a reply.

Bzzzttt...

As Rarity heads back to CHS to lament her frustrations to the Rainbow, we go to the park where we see Dash Baxter, Scott Wallis, Kenji Harima and Leon Kuwata playing a game of catch while we see Indigo Zap and Raya sitting on a bench by the sides.

Raya already told Indigo about the current situation between Rarity and Indigo's former classmates. Indigo let's out a sigh before taking a sip of her soda, "So? Nothing has changed ever since I left and ever since Principal Cadance took over the school.'' she the athlete muttered in disappointment, "And here I was hoping that they would change a little but it looks like that they don't!" she exclaimed in frustration while throwing the can of soda into a trash bin.

"So, what are you going to do?'' Raya asked.

Indigo shook her head, "Nothing.'' she replied, "If my absence and Principal Cadance becoming the school's head didn't do any change to them, then what else can I do.'' she stated, "At this point... it's already hopeless!" she exclaimed.

Raya nodded, "I see what you mean.'' she replied in understanding. Suddenly, Raya's phone rang and she decided to answer, "State your business?'' she greeted as she listens to the caller while nodding at the same time, "Okay... I'll see what I can do.'' she replied before ending the call.

"Who was that?" Indigo asked.

"That was Applejack." Raya replied, "It seems brainstorming for new ideas didn't work well and the drama queen storms out to who knows where.'' she explained before getting up from the bench, "Better go find her before she do something that she'll regret.'' she stated.

Bzzzttt...

Meanwhile inside a restaurant somewhere in town, we see Sandalwood and another girl walking off from the counter with the former taking a sip of his drink and the latter holding a tray of food in hands.

The girl has a goldish gray skin tone, a waist-length dark gray hair and has moderate mulberry eyes. She wears a violet vest over a white buttoned collared shirt with puffy shoulder sleeves and a pink bow tie, pink skirt, white socks and black loafers. This is Octavia Melody.

Canterlot High Student

Octavia Melody

As Sandalwood and Octavia made their way towards their table, Raya enters the place and immediately saw Rarity at one table, eating a large bowl of sundae with the tears on her eyes ruining her mascara once more.

"Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom..." Rarity mumbled while chewing, "Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom..." she repeated after taking another bite from her spoon.

Raya walks towards her, "Seriously, Rarity? Crying on a fainting couch is one thing but drowning your sorrows with ice cream?!" she stated in disbelief.

Rarity let's out a sniff, "I can't help it... it helps sooth my emotions.'' she reasoned.

Raya raised an eyebrow, "And is it working?'' she asked.

Rarity hung her head down, "No.'' she admitted.

Before any of them can utter another word, they heard voices a few table away from them, "It's no use, Sour Sweet." Sunny's voice was heard, "Why are we even still trying?" she asked.

Raya and Rarity turns around to see Sunny, Sour, Lemon and Sugarcoat at one table, "Because the deadline hasn't passed." Sour replied, "We can still come up with an original song to replace the Sapphire Shores one we've been practicing our choreography with." she explained.

Sugarcoat took a sip of her drink, "That's highly unlikely." she bluntly replied.

"Why did we tell Rarity that we already submitted our video?" Lemon complained.

"So that we can still use her concept." Sour replied, "Rarity is creative." she pointed out, "She'll come up with something else." she affirmed, "But if we don't, we have nothing." she noted, "And imagine what our classmates would say..." she said while putting her hands on her face while friends looks away in concern.

"They'll say it's our fault the spring dance had to be held in the boring old auditorium instead of on a yacht like we promised." Lemon pointed out.

"Exactly." Sour pointed out in agreement.

From their table, Rarity's eyes widen in realization, "Oh..." she uttered, "They just don't want to disappoint their classmates..." she concurred with a smile.

Raya crosses her arms, "Still... that doesn't excuse them from stealing your dance concept." she pointed out.

"True but from they're going through, I think their actions are justifiable." Rarity reasoned.

Raya scoffed with a smile, "Whatever floats your boat.'' she mused before walking towards the counter.

Back to the Shadowbolts' table, "Face it, Sour." Sunny advised, "We're doomed." she admitted.

"Ahem." a familiar voice coughed getting their attention, they turn to see Rarity standing next to their table, "Excuse me, girls." she greeted.

Her appearance caught them by surprise, "R-Rarity!" Sour stuttered, "Uh, how long have you been over there?" she asked nervously.

"Long enough to hear that you have no original song." Rarity replied.

"Like I said..." Sugarcoat spoke, "Doomed." she uttered before sipping on her drink while earning glares from her classmates.

Rarity then let's out a nervous chuckle, "Maybe you're not." she suggested while taking a sit next to Sunny, "Look, I know our teams haven't been getting along too well lately..." she pointed out, "But I think we have a solution where everybody wins." she offered with a smile.

The Shadowbolts looks at each other before smiling, "We're listening." Sour said with an eager look.

Meanwhile at the counter, Raya watches Rarity and the Shadowbolts had a conversation, "This will be interesting.'' she mused with a grin.
