Here's Chapter 3

Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms were in the music room.

"Those girls are definitely in possession of some kind of dark magic. Or at least three of them. How else could you explain what happened back there?" Sunset suggested.

"Don't worry, y'all." Applejack reassured them. "We'll let Principal Celestia know all about this and those girls will be kicked to the curb in no time. Last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by some power-crazed lunatic." She relized what she said and turned to Sunset. "Er, no offense." She said apologetically.

"None taken." Sunset sighed.

The girls walk into the principals office, but things didn't work out the way they thought.

"Those new girls have used some sort of dark magic in the cafeteria that riled up all the other students and could have worse things coming." Sunset said.

Principal Celestia checked to make sure no one was watching. "Dark magic? I find that very hard to believe. Those new girls came into my office earlier and were absolutely delightful." She said.

Vice Principal Luna then cut in. "Ugh! Perhaps Sunset Shimmer is just eager to make someone else out to be a bad element, so that her actions at the Fall Formal will become old news."

"I could see why you might think that, but—" Sunset said.

Rainbow Dash then cut in. "That's not what's happening! We saw all of this go down in the cafeteria too!"

"Yes, but isn't your band supposed to be part of the Musical Showcase?" Principal Celestia asked.

"Yes." Rainbow Dash said.

"Perhaps you're all just worried that the Dazzlings will steal your spotlight." Vice Principal Luna suggested.

"The 'Dazzlings'?" Applejack asked.

"Yes, that's the name of their musical group. In fact that's why the four of them came by my office earlier today – to sign up for the Showcase. Even sang a little song to Vice Principal Luna and I." Principal Celestia said.

"They did?" Applejack asked.

"Yes. And we think having a Battle of the Bands instead is a marvelous idea." Principal Celestia said.

Then her eyes and Luna's both turned green, showing that they were under the Sirens' spell.

Meanwhile...

"Me and Melody need to go to the store." Adagio said. "Aria, Sonata, are you guys going to be fine walking home without us?"

"Sure it's not like we-" Aria then looked at Sonata who hit the wall while chasing a butterfly. "I can't handle myself. I'll try not to lose Sonata."

Adagio smiled at them, she loved her sisters, even if they are annoyingly unbearable at times.

At the supermarket, which according to Adagio, was the cheapest place to get the 'good' quality food. Melody and Adagio walked down the sweets aisle for dark, light, and peanut butter filled chocolate bits for Melody's special 'I Heart Chocolate' chocolate cherry ice cream.

"I could have sworn I saw fresh cherries the last time I was here." Melody said. "Oh here they are. And the last box too. Now all we need is milk and cream and we'll be done."

Adagio sighed in relief that they will be done soon. After the dairy aisle the girls paid for the food and left for home. On the way Adagio saw Melody had a worried look on her face.

"Um, Adagio?" Melody asked.

"Yes?" Adagio responded.

"I know that we already signed up for the Battle of the Bands for all four of us to compete together, but tonight at the party there doing last minute sign ups and changes, and I was wondering if I could sign up as a solo."

"What?"

"Just hear me out." Melody pleaded.

"Alright, you can."

"I know that we usually... wait what?" Melody said confused.

"I said it was alright. You can sign up as a solo." Adagio repeated.

Melody was in shock. "Really!? You mean it?!"

Adagio nodded. Melody then hugged Adagio so tightly her face turned blue.

"Melody!" Adagio said chocking.

"Opps. Sorry." Melody then let go. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for letting me do this!"

Meanwhile, with Aria and Sonata.

Aria and Sonata had made it back to their home and chilled out for a bit, waiting for Adagio and Melody to get back. Aria was sitting on the couch with a purple laptop with a star in the center on her lap. She was using a new music program, that way she could make her own songs. Sonata was walking up and down the hallways, looking at the pictures of Melody when she was younger, along with some pictures before they found her. One picture she looked at was of all of them, including a younger version of Melody, at the beach, Adagio, who was in an light orange bikini, was chasing Melody, who was in a purple one-piece swimming suit with floaties on her arms, while Aria, in a purple bikini, and Sonata, in a light blue bikini, were laughing at them. Sonata smiled at the memory. Another pictured showed just Melody, who was 8 years old, in a red holiday dress with a gold ribbon around her waist and making a bow on the right side of her, smiling.

Sonata sighed. "Hey, Aria. Remember the all the good times we had with Melody?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's hard to forget something like that." Aria answered, now remembering all the fun times they've had ever since they found Melody.

"I remember how cute she was in that dress we got her for Christmas." Sonata said as she came into the living room and sat down next to Aria.

"Yeah, and the time Adagio was chasing her all around the beach that one time." Aria giggled.

Sonata laughed. "It was so cute whenever Melody would say 'Momma' to Adagio."

"It was cute whenever she said it to us." Aria stated.

"You got that right." They giggled and smiled at the memory, then sighed.

"Those were the good days." Aria said as she leaned back and looked at the ceiling.

"Yeah." Sonata said, also leaning back.

The sound of a door opening and closing got the attention of the two Dazzlings sitting on the couch.

"Guess who's home?" Melody's voice called out as she and Adagio put the bags of groceries in the kitchen.

"Hey, guys!" Sonata greeted as she jumped up from her seat and hugged both Adagio and Melody.

"You guys aren't going to believe this, but Adagio is going to let me compete in the Battle of the Bands as a solo!" Melody squealed.

"WHAT?!" Aria and Sonata both said surprised and shocked.

"Adagio, can we talk to you for a minute?" Aria asked as she pulled Adagio down the hallway with Sonata following.

Melody shrugged and started to put the groceries away.

"What are you thinking?!" Aria asked as she closed the door to her room.

"What?" Adagio asked, innocently.

"You're going to let Melody compete in the Battle of the Bands as a solo!?" Sonata exclaimed.

"Yes." Adagio said plainly. "Look, she's almost 16, so I said I'd let her compete in the Battle of the Bands."

"If you're sure?" Aria asked.

"I'm sure."

"Okay." Sonata replied. "But, what if Melody wins?"

Adagio looked down at the floor. "She's not going to win."

Aria and Sonata gave her a confused/surprised looks. "What do you mean?" Sonata asked.

"That's what I mean. She's not going to win. At least, not with her current voice level."

"Are we talking about the level of magic in her voice?" Aria asked.

Adagio nodded. "She's strong enough to absorb the hatred of others,but her voice is not yet strong enough to bring out the hatred of others."

"Well, we know that." Aria stated. "But her voice is strong enough to bring out the love and friendship of others, and in her premature state it strengthens her more than hatred. Did you know that, Adagio?"

"When did you figure it out?" Adagio asked them.

"I figured it out after her elementary school talent show, when all the parents were cheering on their kids I noticed it made her voice stronger." Aria answered.

"I found out when her middle school was having a pep rally." Sonata answered.

"And I've always known." Adagio admitted.

"And you didn't tell us because?" Aria asked.

"I didn't tell you because I know you two have blabber mouths and I didn't want Melody to know that."

"You need to tell her Adagio." Sonata said.

"But if I do, I'm afraid she'll hate us for not telling her." Adagio said.

"Like you said Adagio, she's almost 16, she's old enough to understand." Aria said.

"She's going to find out sooner or later. It better be from you than her finding out herself." Sonata said.

Adagio sighed. "Okay, I'll tell her after the Battle of the Bands."

"You better." Aria said.

Aria and Sonata left to go help Melody. Adagio sighed.

"I wish it would be as easy as it sounds."

She soon followed Aria and Sonata's lead and went to help Melody with the groceries. Though the shadow hanging over her heart leaves her with a sense of guilt.

"Is something wrong?" Melody asked.

Aria and Sonata both gave Adagio a cross eye.

"Everything is just fine." Adagio said.

Melody then gave all three of them a 'something's up' look with her eyes. "OK." Melody then began to make the ice cream.

Meanwhile...
