The mane 6 plus Sunset Shimmer and Melody were in Pinkie Pie's room. Twilight was on Pinkie's bed trying to figure out a musical counter-spell. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing a video game while Pinkie Pie was on her computer and Rarity, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Melody were taking a selfie. When Rarity looked at the picture, Spike had photo bombed. Melody, Fluttershy, and Sunset tried to hold in a giggle while watching Rarity hold in her anger. Rainbow Dash slammed the game console, ending her game with Applejack.
"Hey! I was about to beat you!" Applejack said to Rainbow.
"I doubt it." Rainbow replied smugly. "So, Twilight, how is that counter-spell comin'?"
"Huh? Oh, uh, good. Great." Twilight said nervously. "Thanks for letting me use your notebook, Fluttershy. I really like the song you wrote for the Rainbooms."
"Thanks." Fluttershy sighed. "Hopefully one day, we'll get a chance to play it." She glared at Rainbow, who was laughing at Applejack trying to get her controller back.
"So, Melody, you going to tell us how you became a fourth Siren?" Sunset asked. Everyone's eyes were on Melody.
"Well as y'all should know my sisters were born in Equestria, but I was born in this world though." Melody explained. "According to Adagio, I was found in a box next to a highway as a baby."
"Oh, that's terrible." Fluttershy said. "Who could leave a poor helpless baby alone?"
"That's what I've been wondering for 15 years." Melody said sadly. "Anyway,I became a siren when I was 6, well at least that's what my sisters told me. On my sixth birthday I was singing a song with Adagio when her pendent started to glow bright red, then I remember this bright red light and two voices arguing." Melody trailed off as she remembered that day.
"Two voices?" Twilight questioned. "What did they sound like?"
"One was a deep male voice and the other was Adagio's." Melody said.
Twilight nodded. "Okay, continue."
"After that I can't recall anything else because I blacked out. When I woke up again I was in my bed and Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were next to my bed asleep on the floor. Then I realized that I had a pendent on my neck like theirs." Melody touched her red Siren pendent. "It wasn't until the next morning that they told me that I had become a Siren like them."
Everyone was silent after Melody's story. Twilight and Sunset were still trying to make sense of it all while that others were just stunned. Rainbow was the first to speak up.
"That. Sounds. So. Awesome!" She said pumping her fist.
Melody giggled. "Thanks, but I'm not even full-fledged yet."
"Not full-fledged?" Sunset and Twilight questioned with confused looks at the same time.
Heart Note nodded. "I won't have all the powers that my sisters have until I'm full-fledged, and I won't be a full-fledged Siren until I turn 16, and that's tomorrow."
"And tomorrow's the Battle of the Bands." Sunset stated. Melody nodded.
The doorbell rang, drawing everyone's attention.
"Pizza's here!" Pinkie Pie announced and everyone zipped out of the room, except Twilight and Melody.
"So, Twilight," Melody spoke up after everyone left the room, "you're a alicorn princess in Equestria?"
"Yep." Twilight nodded.
"What's Equestria like?"
"You haven't asked the Sire- I mean, your sisters about it?"
"I have, multiple times, but they say that I'm better off not knowing."
Twilight was about to speak again when Pinkie Pie entered with a piece of pizza in her mouth.
"Hey! Don't you guys want any pizza?" Pinkie asked.
Melody and Twilight nodded. Pinkie zipped out of the room. After Melody left the room, Twilight placed the notebook in one of Pinkie's drawers. In the kitchen, where everyone was, Pinkie was making a face with the pizza in her mouth, everyone laughed.
"So, Melody, you know what you're going to sing in the Battle of the Bands?" Fluttershy asked.
Melody nodded. "Yep." She smiled.
"Hey Melody, I don't suppose you could sing for us?" Applejack asked. Everyone nodded in agreement. Sunset and Twilight looked at each other nervously.
"Well, I guess is wouldn't hurt. I mean, you're immune to the spell, so I suppose it would be okay if I sing, just a little." Melody said nervously.
"Wait!" Pinkie said abruptly. "Let's go to the living room. I have a karaoke machine in there that you could use!"
After everyone was in the living room and Pinkie turned on the karaoke machine, Melody took the microphone and nervously looked at it.
"Okay, here I go." She said to herself. The music started up and Melody sang.
[Melody Minor]
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh
Would you follow me,
we'll swim the deep blue sea,
Lissen to my song,
I'm not that strong,
I know we just met,
but I will never forget,
The time we spent together,
I will always remember,
We will never fail,
for this friendship shall sail.
ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ahh
Right after she stopped singing her pendant started to glow and absorbed a pink mist that was emitting for everyone else.
The main 6, plus Sunset, clapped at Melody's performance.
"Why is your pendant glowing?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Were you feeding off our negative energy?" Twilight asked harshly.
"Um, I don't know. It didn't feel like it was negative energy." Melody said, scared.
"Settle down, Twilight." Applejack said carefully to Twilight. "I don't think it was negative energy she was feeding off of."
"Now that you mention it, I feel the exact opposite of hatred." Fluttershy said.
"Yeah!" Pinkie chimed in. "I feel like my friendship meter is through the roof!"
"But, I'm a Siren." Melody stated. "I'm suppose to bring out and feed off the hatred of others, not the opposite."
"Well, you said you weren't born in Equestria, but this world, right?" Sunset asked. Melody nodded. "So, maybe that has something to do with you not feeding off of hatred."
"Yeah, but I've feed off the negativity of others before though." Melody said.
"Well," Twilight said, "if you're not bringing out hatred now, but the exact opposite, then..."
"Then you could help us defeat the Sirens!" Sunset and Twilight said together, smiling.
"What!?"Melody said, surprised and unsure.
"Why not?" Rainbow asked.
"Because their my sisters!" Melody responded."Even if they are planning something evil!" She added.
"But we won't really hurt them." Twilight said. "Just break the spell they put on everyone."
"Well, I need to think about it. I'll makeup my mind in the morning."
Meanwhile at the Dazzlings' house
Adagio was in her room pacing about her plan.
"You WILL do it!" He said.
"But Melody might hate us for this!" Adagio responded.
"If you hadn't interfered ten years ago we wouldn't be having this problem now!"
"If we hadn't interfered Melody wouldn't be here!"
"That's the point!"
"I hate you D-." Aria then came into the room. "Aria! I was just-."
"Save it! I know you were talking to him!" Aria said. "This is starting to get out of control again! Last time you lost control of him, we almost lost Melody!"
"I know! If we didn't use the last bit of magic we had on her, we would have lost her!" Adagio said.
"Guys Melody isn't that small girl she was before!" Sonata cut in. "She's going to be a full-fledged siren tomorrow! Surely she could handle it!"
"No Aria is right! I need to establish more control over D-!" Adagio said.
"We said we weren't going to call him that ever again!" Aria reminded her.
"He was and still is! Even though he was a terrible one, we wouldn't have gotten as powerful as we were if I hadn't absorbed him into my pendant and gained all his powers and shared it with y'all."
"But that was in the past." Sonata stated." He should stay in the past. Now let's just focus on winning the Battleof the Band."
"I can't believe I'm saying this,but Sonata's r,r,r,right." Aria chocked. "I can't believe I just said that. Just focus on what you're going to tell Melody."
So that's it for now. I hope you all like the surprise I'm cooking up. I'm going to put a longer version of Melody's song in a future chapter. Also I would LOVE to see what y'all think he is, I won't say if it's close or not, that's for a later chapter, But the first person to get who he is right, I will announce you the winner in the chapter that I reveal who he is in. I hope someone gets it right! Happy guessing!
