So we now skip to the scene where the tour begins because everything from the last chapter up to this point is the same as in the original movie from after the opening credits to before Sunset gives the tour. It seemed like a waste of time to write a fanfic without any real changes.
Sunset Shimmer smiled as she approached Adagio, Sonata, and Aria, who were in the shadows.
"Hi, are you the new girls that I'm suppose to show around?" Sunset asked.
"We are." Adagio confirmed as they stepped out of the shadows. She was now wearing a black headband with small gold spikes, a purple shirt and shorts with a treble cleft and gold colored diamond on each side, along with a gold spiky belt with the same gold colored diamond, and a pink mini over-jacket. She also wore purple tights with dark triangles and purple boots with the gold spikes, and pink fingerless gloves. She looked around and turned to Sonata and Aria.
"Where's Melody?" She asked.
"Well, Sonata?" Aria said accusingly. Aria now wore a tan shirt with a purple collar, a green riped jacket over it, and dark purple-pink skinny jeans that had sparkles on the top side, with a double belt connected with the same star type that held up her hair. She also wore 3 black arm bands on each arm, and dark pink boots.
"What?!" Sonata said as she looked at the other two, confused. She was now in a dark pink high collar dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a blue and purple jagged eighth note on a pink heart on the top right side of her shirt, and had three blue connectors on the front, a pink skirt and pink and white knee-high shoes, along with a pink braclet with blue spikes on each wrist.
"You were suppose to wake up Melody." Aria spat.
"Is everything okay?" Sunset asked.
"Everything's fine. We just need to wait for another person." Adagio explained.
"Oh. Okay." Sunset turned around and waited.
"I thought Aria was suppose to wake her up this morning." Sonata defended.
"No, Adagio told you to do it last night." Aria said.
"I thought she told you."
"It was you!"
"No, you!"
"It doesn't matter!" Adagio interrupted. "Just go and find her. Both of you!"
"Okay." Sonata and Aria agreed.
There was a muffled "I'm here!" Coming through the doors. Melody ran up the stairs and burst through the double doors.
"I'm here-ah!" She fell and dropped her book bag spilling her books. Melody was now wearing a light pink sleeveless sailor top, a white knee high skirt with a treble clef with a red rose in the middle on the bottom right, a black belt around the waist, and silver open toe sandals. Her book bag was ocean blue. "Hehe, I'm okay." She groaned. She started to reach for her books.
"Here let me." Sunset offered as she picked up Melody's books and handing them to her.
"Thanks." Melody took her books. She turned to Adagio. "Sorry I'm late, again." She apologized.
"It's fine." Adagio smiled.
"Now that everyone's here, let's start the tour." Suset chimed. "Canterlot High is a great school, you're really gonna love it." Sunset started the tour as Adagio, Sonata, Aria, and Melody followed.
"Oh yes, we can really sense that there's something...magical about this place." Adagio grinned. Aria and Sonata grinned back, Melody smiled nervously.
As the tour went on, Melody started to enjoy it more and more, while the other three were getting more and more bored.
"That's the science lab. Computer lab is in there." Sunset pointed out, her eyes widen when she spotted a poster. "Oh! We're having a big musical showcase this weekend! The whole school is pretty much rallying around it."
Adagio gasped. "A musical showcase, you say?" She grinned as she turned her eyes to Aria and Sonata, who grinned back.
Sunset nodded. "I'm sure since your new, Principle Celestia will let you sign up if your interested."
"Well we have been known to sing from time to time." Aria informed.
"Hello! We sing, like, all the time. It's how we get people to do what we want." Sonata said blatantly.
Adagio growled at her while Aria face palmed. Melody gave a worried look. Sunset gave them a confused look.
"W-What I'd say?" Sonata asked.
"What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way for us to meet other students." Adagio saved.
"Ohhhh, yeah. Th-What she said is what I ment to say. That's what I ment. To say."
"And what you would have said if you weren't the worst." Aria complained.
"You are."
Adagio then intervened. "You'll have to excuse the two of them. They're complete idiots." Adagio smiled, Aria and Sonata crossed their arms.
There was an awkward silence until Sunset noticed all four of them wearing the same type of necklase.
"Gosh, those are pretty." Sunset complemented. She reached for Adagio's necklase. "Where'd you get-" Sunset was cut off when Adagio grabbed her wrist.
Adagio let go and laughed nervously. "Sorry. But it's just that these pendants mean an awful lot to us. We'd just hate for anything to happen to them."
"Oh. Okay." Sunset backed up. "I'll just let you all get settled." She left.
"Um, Adagio?" Melody spoke up.
"Yes, Melody?" Adagio answered.
"Um, well, I was wondering if I could, you know, take a look around? By myself."
"Melody you-"
"Please? Just this once." Melody begged.
Adagio sighed. "You know I don't like it when your alone. You do remember last time you were alone? Don't you?"
"I do, but it'll be different this time. There will be teachers watching everything. Please Adagio?" Melody then gave Adagio her puppy dog eyes, one of which that no one can say 'no' to.
Adagio sighed again. "Alright, you can go by yourself."
Melody jumped with joy.
"Just be sure to meet us up at the cafeteria doors 5 minutes before lunch, okay?"
"Alright. I promise." She was about to leave, but then turned around and gave Adagio a hug. "Thank you." Then she skipped off leaving her book bag behind.
Adagio sighed.
"The things you would do for her." Aria said as if reading Adagio's mind.
"What?!" Adagio said as Aria and Sonata gave her looks that said 'explanation, please'.
"You're the one who became Miss Sister/Mother the moment we found her." Aria said.
"Yeah." Sonata pitched in. "Ever since then you've gotten soft."
"Soft?!" Adagio exclaimed. "Why I oughta ... augh! Let's just go wait!" Adagio stormed off with Sonata and Aria on her tail. "Oh and Aria, could you grab Melody's book bag?"
"Sure." She picked up the book bag and strained. "What the-?! How many books does that girl need?!"
Meanwhile, Melody was near the music room listening to the band that was playing in there. She was leaning against the door when it suddenly opened and she fell.
"Whoa!" She exclaimed. 'What is it with me and falling today?' She thought.
"Oh, my! Are you alright?" Rarity asked as she helped her up. Melody nodded shyly.
"Wow, she's more shy than Fluttershy in a crowded room." Rainbow Dash commented. Applejack elbowed her rib.
"Ow."
"So, are ya new here?" Applejack asked.
Melody nodded.
"Ooh, a new friend!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"I suppose we should introduce ourselves." Rarity suggested. "I'm Rarity."
"I'm Fluttershy."
"Howdy! Ma names Applejack." She shook Melody's hand.
"Hi! My names Pinkie Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie. Since your new here that means that you don't have any friends, yet. So that means we can now be the bestest friends ever! Ooh, maybe we should throw you a welcome party so that way you can meet lots of other new friends! And..."
"Uh, Pinkie." Applejack said as she pointed to Melody, who's eyes were spinning.
"Oopsies."
"Ahem." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "And finally I'm Rainbow Dash. As in the Rainbow Dash. The amazing lead singer and guitar player in my band, The Rainbooms."
"Our band." Applejack corrected.
Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Anyways, what's your name?"
"Uh..." Melody was kind of shocked at this point. "M-My name is Melody. Melody Minor."
"Ah, Melody. Such an elegant name." Rarity complemented.
"Oh, thank you." She blushed. She looked at the clock on the wall and gasped.
"Er, somethin' wrong, Melody?" Applejack asked.
"Oh, it's just that I have to meet my sisters in a few minutes. So, I have to go."
"Ooh, you have sisters?! That's amazing! That means more friends!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Simmer down there, Pinkie."
Applejack said.
"Well, see you later." Melody dashed out of the room.
After a few seconds of silence Pinkie Pie spoke up. "I like her." She smiled.
We then fade into the cafeteria, where Sunset Shimmer just sat down with the Rainbooms.
"So how was the tour?" Applejack asked Sunset.
"I don't know." Sunset began. "I mean these four girls, they were... there was something off about them."
"Like, off like this?" Pinkie made her hair into a mustache. "Or off like this?" Pinkie now had lettuce on her eyebrows and two carrots hanging from her mouth. "Or... Oh, oh! Like—"
"Maybe we should just let her tell us." Rainbow Dash said as she gestured to Sunset, then a carrot fell out of Pinkie's mouth.
"But that's just it. I can't put my finger on it. They just acted sort of... strange around me. Well except one, but maybe someone had already talked to the other three. Told them about what I did." Sunset sighed. "So much for making a good first impression." She then put her head on the table.
"Uh-huh." Fluttershy nodded.
The others then glared at her.
"Oh, that's probably not it." She then ducked her head.
Outside the cafeteria doors, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata waited for Melody.
"She's gonna be late again." Aria complained. "In 3... 2..."
"I'm here!" Melody said as she slide to Aria's feet.
Sonata blew a fake whistle. "Safe!"
Melody stood up. "Yes, on time!"
"Oh, by the way, you left your book bag behind so we put it in your locker." Adagio informed her.
"Thank you."
"Oh and Melody, how come you had so many books in it?" Aria complained. "Seriously, did you pack up all the ones in your room?"
"No!…Maybe…Yes."
Aria gave her a 'you goofball' look.
"Alright, girls. This is it. The moment we've been waiting for." Adagio began.
"Lunch?!" Sonata asked as she looked at a lunch poster.
Melody giggled while Adagio groaned. "The chance to get our true Equestrian magic back."
"Oh. Right."
"Our voices are just strong enough to make them want something so badly, they'll fight to get it." Adagio started again.
"So we're just gonna keep on doing what we always do?" Aria intervened. "Stir up some trouble and then feed off the negative energy? Some plan, Adagio." She said sarcastically.
"It won't be the same as the times before! There is Equestrian magic here. Their negative energy will give us the power we need to get this entire world to do our bidding." Adagio finished and then smiled wickedly.
"But we can get lunch after though, right? It's Taco Tuesday!" Sonata said, looking at a school lunch poster. Melody giggled at her again.
"Just follow my lead." Adagio said as she got up in Sonata's face, who backed up.
"Or my lead." Aria said.
"My lead!" Adagio stepped in front of Aria while pulling her jacket, proving her point to lead.
Sonata and Melody snickered.
The Dazzlings, including Melody, entered the cafeteria, singing.
[The Dazzlings]
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh

Battle!
We wanna win it
Let's have a battle, battle of the bands
Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it
Let's have a battle, battle, battle
Battle of the bands!
We pan back from The Dazzlings to see all the students arguing and green smoke emitting from them. The green smoke is being absorbed by the four red gems necklaces. We now focus on the main five plus Sunset Shimmer as they watch the fighting.
"Ohhhh. They're that kind of "off"." Pinkie Pie said to the group.
Already in progress in Chapter 3. Hope you like this one and look forward to the next;)
