Hope y'all enjoy chapter 4 Party Twist

The Dazzlings and Melody were walking to the school for the party being thrown for all the bands. Melody, who was the happiest of all four of them, smiled brightly. Sonata was carrying a bowl of fruit punch.

"This is going to be so exciting! Right, Adagio?" Melody asked as she turned to her sister.

"Of with all the people going to be there, we'll feed off their hatred for one another." Adagio said eagerly.

"Oh, right. Also that." Melody said unenthusiastically.

"It something wrong, Melody?" Adagio asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." Melody said.

"Are you sure?" Aria asked. "You were pretty happy just a minute ago."

"I'm still happy, see." She smiled to prove her point.

"Melody, I can tell when you're lying." Adagio said as she looked at Melody.

Melody sighed. "It's just that... Um, do we have to feed off the hatred of others? I mean, can't we just have a normal Battle of the Bands, no magic?"

"Look, you know why we have to..." Adagio was cut off.

"Please! We do this all the time!"

"We do this to survive."

"But we never do anything without having to sing and feed off the negative energy of others."

"Melody." Adagio said calmly.

"It's always feeding off negative energy over there, then feeding on negative energy over here. Why can't we just-"

"Melody." Adagio said again, her patience thinning.

"- do things like normal people."

"Melody!" Adagio's patients all most gone.

"Why do we have to be monsters?!"

"MELODY! Enough!" Adagio yelled. Melody instantly shut her mouth. "We are done talking about this. I don't want to hear another word about it, do you understand me?"

"Yes, Adagio." Melody said quietly.

"Good." Adagio said as she turned to Aria and Sonata. "Now let's go, we don't want to be late."

Adagio continued to walk with Aria and Sonata next to her with Melody trailing in the back.

The Dazzlings, plus Melody, entered the school gymnasium where the party was taking place. Everyone was arguing with each other, except the Dazzlings, Melody, Suset Shimmer, and the Rainbooms. Melody snuck away from the Dazzlings and went to the snack table.

She thought 'Why?' as she thought of the wicked intentions of her sisters. She looked over as she saw Pinkie Pie eating the cookies. Pinkie looked over and saw Melody.

"Fey, Melomie!" Pinkie Pie said with her mouth full of cookies. She swallowed the cookies. "Hey, Melody." Pinkie waved.

Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash turned around to see her.

"Uh, hey guys." Melody said nervously as she approached them.

"It's good to see ya again." Applejack said as she tipped her hat.

"Uh, who's that girl over there? Is she new too?" Melody pointed to Twilight Sparkle who was talking to Flash Sentry.

"Oh, ah, that's Twilight Sparkle, she's here to help us with a,uh, problem." Rarity answered.

"Um, guys." Rainbow Dash got their attention. "Don't we have something important to do?" She pointed over at the Dazzlings.

"Oh, yes. So sorry to cut our meeting short, Melody, but we have some business to take care of." Rarity said as she left.

Pinkie Pie filled her hair up with cookies then left. Melody grew worried.

'Why weren't they affected by the spell in the cafeteria? This is a little weird. But maybe they already knew about me and my sisters.' She thought.

On the other side of the gym the Dazzlings were walking around.

Adagio stopped and looked around the gym. "Oh no! No ones mingling! Its like there's some kind of underlying tensions that could bubble to the surface at any given minute!" Adagio said in surprise/ mocking tone as she saw everyone arguing with each other.

"It's my fruit punch isn't it. I knew I used too much grape juice and not enough apple and orange!" Sonata responded while holding a cup of punch.

Aria rolled her eyes.

Adagio sighed putting her hand on her face. "It's not your fruit punch! It's us!"

"But the punch is awful, too." Aria put in.

"And what do you know about good fruit punch?" Sonata said putting a cup of punch in Aria's face.

"More than you!" Aria shoved the cup out of her face.

"Do not!" Sonata hit Aria in the forehead.

"Do to!" She hit Sonata back, messing up her hair. Sonata then fixed it.

"This is just the kickoff party we need, girls. Just imagine what a tizzy they'll be in by the time the Battle of the Bands really starts." Adagio said facing them.

"There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands!" Twilight called out.

Everyone turned around to see the Rainbooms in a line. "Alright, girls, let's do this!" They held hands. "Friendship is magic!" There was an awkward silence as someone coughed.

"Talk about throwing down the gauntlet!" Adagio said as everyone turned to face her. "This group is obviously serious about winning! A little cocky though, aren't they? Claiming there won't really be a battle. Seems to me they think they've already got this thing all locked up."

"Not if the Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie has anything to do with it!" Trixie exclaimed.

"Whatever, Trixie." Flash Sentry said as he crossed his arms. "We're the best band at CHS." He gestured to his band.

"No! The Crusaders are gonna win!" Applebloom exclaimed as she gestured to her group.

Soon all the students started arguing loudly, emitting a green mist. Melody then regrouped with the Dazzlings and the green mist entered their pendants as they looked at them. Melody looked up from her pendant and noticed the Rainbooms, plus Sunset, leaving. She then left to followed them and making sure her sisters were distracted from her leaving.

"Looks like we found what we were looking for." Adagio said looking up from her pendant, noticing that the Rainbooms left. "Or rather it found us." She turned to Aria who smiled back.

Both of them then turned to Sonata who gave them a confused look. Aria then slapped her face.

"MAGIC!" Adagio yelled at Sonata who quivered back. "Didn't you see? Everyone else has fallen under our spell, but not those girls. Those girls are special." She then smiled wickedly.

"Hey, Melody's gone!" Aria pointed out.

"WHAT?!"

When Melody peeked outside the school doors she saw and heard the Rainbooms talking about what happened inside the gym.

"But to defeat me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing." Melody heard Sunset say. "The Sirens' magic comes from their music."

'So they do know about us. Not good.' Melody thought.

"So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them." Sunset said enthusiastically. "Or... maybe not." She then looked down.

"No, wait, I think you're onto something." Twilight told her.

"I think so, too." Melody said as she revealed herself to the Rainbooms and Sunset. The girls looked at her. "And before you ask, yes, I did hear all of it."

"So, let me guess, you're going to go back to your sisters and tell them what we're planning?" Rainbow Dash accused.

"No, I-" Melody was then cut off.

"Wait." Twilight said. "History says there were only three Sirens. But if they're your sisters, then that makes you a fourth Siren. How is that even possible?"

"I think that's up for me to tell." Melody said.

"Oh, please don't tell them, Melody." Fluttershy pleaded. "I know they're your sisters, but they're doing an awful thing."

"I know and I really don't want to go along with their plan either." Melody admitted. "That's why I signed up for a solo proformance last minute."

"But, you were singing with your sisters in the cafeteria earlier." Sunset stated.

"I know and I'm sorry for that. Can you please forgive me?" Melody asked.

"Of course I'll forgive you, Melody." Fluttershy said.

"Well, ya can clean and admitted your mistake." Applejack said, putting an arm around her. "I reckon that's enough for me to forgive ya."

Melody smiled at her.

"I'll forgive you too!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she jumped into the air then hugged Melody tightly.

"Can't. Breath!" Melody chocked.

"I agree with Applejack." Rarity said. "You intentionally went behind your sisters back, came clean with everything, and won't tell them what we're doing. I forgive you."

"Hehe, yeah." Melody said, after Pinkie Pie let her go.

"I guess if they forgive you, I might as well forgive you too." Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Thanks guys." Melody smiled at them.

"So, how did you become a fourth Siren anyway?" Sunset asked.

"Eh,well, maybe I could tell you guys later, somewhere where we won't be heard." Melody said, looking around.

"Slumber Party at my house!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.

"Well, I have to tell my sisters I'm going to be somewhere until tomorrow morning. They can be over protective of me some times." Melody said.

The group then looked at her, seemingly surprised.

"What? So they have plans to conquer with an iron fist, but that doesn't mean they're heartless."

"Oh. Alright, darling." Rarity said. "We will wait out here for you until you get back."

"Thank you." She said as she ran back inside. Melody ran inside the gym almost running into her sisters. "Adagio! Aria! Sonata!"

"Melody! Where were you?" Adagio said with a worried look.

"We were looking everywhere for you." Aria said.

"I went outside for some fresh air." Melody lied.

"Oh, okay." Adagio said. She surprised Melody by hugging her. "I'm sorry." She said.

"Huh? For what?" Melody questioned.

"For yelling at you earlier." Melody hugged Adagio back.

"It's okay. I forgive you."

Adagio looked at her and smiled. "I'm glad."

"Um, Adagio, Is it okay if I stay over at a sleepover tonight?"

"Melody-"

"Please, please, please, please, Adagio! I know I'm ask this a lot, but please! They're part of a band that's going to participate in the Battle of the Bands. Please, you know I'll be alright." Melody pleaded.

"Go on, Adagio." Aria said. "Just this once, right?"

"Yeah, I think it'd be good for her too." Sonata said, smiling.

Adagio sighed in defeat. "Alright." Melody jumped with joy.

"But I want you to be extra careful! Don't talk to any strangers that you meet out in the street! Don't get into a car with anyone other than the people you came with! And especially don't talk to any boys or else I'll-"

"Rip them piece by piece!" Aria, Sonata and Melody joined in having already memorized Adagio's Boys Rules.

Adagio gave them an annoyed look. The other three giggled. "I'm being serious." Adagio said.

"I'll be fine Adagio." Melody hugged Adagio once more before leaving. "Bye guys! I'll see you tomorrow morning."

After Melody left Adagio let out a frustrated sigh and looked at Aria and Sonata in annoyance.

"I swear, sometimes you guys are more trouble than you're worth." Adagio commented.

"We're trying to help you." Aria stated.

"While Melody is away, you can figure out how to tell her about her feeding off the essence of friendship." Sonata said.

Adagio sighed. "How am I going to think if I'm too busy worry over her."

"She's going to be fine, Adagio." Sonata reassured. "It's okay to worry, but you have to know that she can take care of herself. She is a siren after all."

"Yeah." Aria chimed in. "We were the ones who raised her. Taught her self-defense, too."

"You taught her self-defense?!" Adagio and Sonata questioned.

"Duh! Did you think I would let her grow up in this world to be someone who couldn't fend for themselves?"

"That is something you would do, given how athletic you are." Sonata stated.

"Thanks for easing my worry." Adagio said. "The party's almost over so let's get going."

"Alright!" Sonata cheered. "I wonder if Melody wouldn't mind if I ate the rest of her ice cream."

"I think she would appreciate it if you made some ice cream to make up for the one you ate." Aria said.

"I'm fine with that. I've seen her make the ice cream a hundred times."

Adagio, who was blocking out the ice cream conversation between Aria and Sonata, was thinking of a way to win the Battle of the Bands and keep her relationship with Melody. 'I know that after Melody said those words she would never forgive us if we went along with the plan.' Adagio thought.

"Why do we have to be monsters?!" Adagio remembered Melody's words, and they stung in her heart. 'Are we really monsters?' No! We did what we needed to do to survive! She's still too young and ignorant! 'Stop it! She's may be young, but she's not stupid! She was just angry!' She's a kid! She's not even a true Siren! Why do you succumb to her petty little whining!? 'You need to stop!' No! The Battle of the Bands is important to our-!

"Adagio!" Sonata and Aria called out.

"Huh?" Adagio came out of her argument with herself.

"Let's go." Aria said.

"Oh, right."

The Dazzlings left the school and went home. As they walked home, Sonata and Aria gave Adagio worried looks. Adagio looked back at them with a confused look.

"What?" She asked her sisters.

"Well," Aria started to say, "when we looked at you, back at the school, your eyes, well, they were kind of..."

"Flashing red." Sonata finished.

"And, well, we're you having an argument with him?"

Adagio sighed. "Yes, but it's not what it looks like." She said quickly.

"Adagio, please." Aria said. "You promised you wouldn't get him involved with us again or Melody. Not after last time."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll try be more careful next time I get angry."

"Good, for all our sakes." Sonata said and they continued on their way home.

And that's it for this chapter. Who is "him"? Why do the Dazzlings no like "him"? And what happened last time?

That is for another chapter.
