"Twilight...cut it out!" Indigo yelled as she held the other girl in a half nelson as the two tumbled to the ground just short of Twilight's front door. "Stop squirming you little nerd." The other girls and Spike were soon in the hall as well as they were a bit embarrassed by Zap's approach.

"This is not how I envisioned this would go." Sugarcoat admitted.

"It's exactly how I thought." Sunny Flare countered.

"Let...me...go!" Twilight continued to struggle as Indigo strengthened her hold. "I don't want any trouble!"

"Indigo, honey," Sour Sweet said with a smile before frowning at the girl wrestling on the ground. "would you just get off her already. You're making this super weird."

"Twilight, just listen."

"No!" Twilight's frustrations finally boiled over as her abilities activated and she hurled Indigo away and levitated the others. "Oh no, I'm so sorry." She immediately released them and rushed over to Indigo who was laying against the wall.

"Are you alright?"

"Ugh, I'll be fine." The blue haired girl rubbed the back of her head as she got to her feet.

"How did you do that?" Lemon asked. "Because that was cra...cra...crazy!"

"Um, well..." Twilight hesitated for a moment as the girls looked on anxiously.

Spike broke the silence as he barked. "Right, magic stuff." Indigo said as she remembered the task at hand. "Not why we're here. The thing is Twilight, we wanted to apologize."

"We realize we weren't the nicest people." Sour Sweet said as her gaze turned downward. "We certainly weren't the worst either."

Sugarcoat decided to speak next. "Point is, we're really sorry for what we made you do and making you feel like you didn't belong. And if you'd give us the chance, we'd like to make it up to you."

Twilight looked at the group before picking up Spike. "Would you excuse me for just a minute?" She promptly headed up to her room, closing the door behind her before she sat on her bed. "They're up to something."

"I don't know Twilight. Looked to me like they really meant it." After hearing him out, Twilight took out her phone and scrolled down to Sunset's number.

Meanwhile

"So tell us exactly what happened." Sunset said as she and the other girls stood in the two bed hospital room where Adagio and Sonata resided.

Sonata was the first to speak. "Well we were coming home from the movies and I thought I saw Sunset."

"Me?"

"At least I thought it was you. I followed whoever it was down the alley..."

"And Aria and I chased after her," Adagio continued. "The last thing I remember was this bright light and the next thing I know we woke up here. Doctor said they'd found us passed out."

"So how are y'all feelin'?" Applejack inquired.

"Honestly, I just feel drained. Like we did after the Battle of the Bands."

"That doesn't sound good at all." Sunset noted.

"You don't think someone's out there stealing magic again, do you?" said Fluttershy.

"I wouldn't doubt it after all that's happened. Speaking of which, about that other siren..."

"Never heard of her," Adagio answered.

"Maybe Starswirl sent even more sirens through the mirror after us." Sonata noted as she smiled in excitement. "It'll be so cool having other sirens to hang out with."

"I wouldn't get your hopes up Sonata." Rainbow Dash gestured to the girl. "She was a lot less like you and more psycho crazy."

"Still, we should get to finding whoever this is that attacked you and then we'll worry about these other sirens." Sunset's phone began to ring and she pulled it out to answer. "It's Twilight. I'll be right back." She excused herself and walked down the hall.

"Get off me!" The remaining girls turned to see Aria, still in her hospital gown, fighting against Crimson Napalm, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and one of the nurses as they tried to restrain her. "We're leaving now! So sign me out, give me my cloths and let me go!"

"Miss, I've already explained. You're a minor and you're not going anywhere until your parent or guardian checks you out." the nurse explained.

"And Granny Smith ain't checking you out 'til she knows you're alright." Applejack explained, her arms crossed. "So you're stayin' put. So either you walk back to your room on your own, or I'm making you." She flashed her orange, strength enhancing jewel as Aria surrendered and allowed the nurse to guide her back to her room.

While the situation was being resolved, Sunset was doing her best to help Twilight to settle her own. "So they're there right now?"

"Yes and I'm not sure what they really want."

"So, what makes you think they don't just want to be friends?"

"Maybe because I turned into a monster and nearly destroyed the world as we know it."

"But they forgave you, Twilight. You don't think they came all the way there just so they could play some prank or something, do you?"

"I just don't know."

"Well, all I can tell you is to just trust yourself. We'll be at the hospital for a little while longer but we'll see you soon. Just call if you need us. Good Luck"

"Thanks Sunset." Twilight sat on her bed as she contemplated her next move. She looked down at Spike as she petted the dog on her lap. She took a deep breath before finally making up her mind.

"Maybe we came on too strong?" Lemon asked as she sat across from the others as they waited for Twilight to return, if she ever did.

"That must be it," Sour Sweet commented before frowning. "It couldn't have anything to do with Indigo going pro wrestler on her."

"Well I wouldn't have had to if she didn't run." Indigo defended.

"Just for the record, I was against all this." Sunny Flare chimed in nonchalantly as Sugarcoat turned to her.

"And just for the record, none of us care." The group went back and forth until the sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention. Twilight stood in the doorway, Spike in her arms, as she looked over the group in silence.

"So...what did you girls have in mind?"

Later

In the maze-like confines of Canterlot's sewer system a figure wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans waited patiently in front of several monitors that had been set up. They sat in a vast room filled with all manor of items that gave the area a more apartment like look. A sound rang out as something behind them dropped to the floor from one of the pipes. "You're late." a woman's voice said bluntly as she quickly covered her face with the hood and turned to see the siren, Ghost Note.

"Why didn't you tell me they had Equestrian magic?" the siren demanded to know as she stood up.

"I was sure you'd find out for yourself, and I just hate ruining surprises."

"They almost captured me and took my gem! One of them even had some kind of mind reading ability."

"But they didn't and here you are now. As for...Sunset, that is exactly why I put those magic blocks on you to prevent her from knowing anymore than I want her to. If Sunset has one fatal flaw, it's that once bait has been put out, her curiosity will always get the better of her."

Ghost's right eye began to twitch as she gave a twisted smile. "I'm sorry, what-what did you just call me?"

"I beg your pardon."

"What was it you called me?" Ghost Note's eyes began to glow red as her gem started to illuminate as well. "You said I was bait!" The hooded figure took a few steps back as a projection of a white siren with red eyes and black and yellow fins emerged from the energy generated by the gem. The large creature appeared over her head, snarling and clearly as unhappy as the girl who brought it forth. "No one calls me that! No one! You have no idea who you're deal..."

She was stopped midway through her sentence as her magic flowed across the room to the other person in the room who simply held her hand out. The projection slowly dissipated as the green energy was sucked first out of her mouth and then from her crystal. "I think, my little fish, that you don't wholly know who you are dealing with." After all the energy was fully absorbed from her, Ghost Note fell, almost lifeless to the floor. "Thanks for bringing out your magic by the way, so much easier when it's out in the open. Saves me the trouble of having to do the whole skin-to-skin contact thing."

"What did you...do to me?" the siren said as she weakly attempted to get to her feet only to topple over.

"Let's just say, you may want to find a new problem solving method, because I'm afraid you won't be singing away your problems anymore." The still hooded woman stood over the powerless siren as the newly acquired power flicked across her finger tips. "Sadly, for you I mean, I can't let you leave. So you'll just have to a part of my little game."
