You and the Rainbooms were standing by the Wondercolt statue while waiting to see if Twilight can be able to find a way to reopen the portal. While this was going on, Rarity was painting Fluttershy's nails, Applejack and Pinkie were playing poker, Rainbow Dash was boredly twirling a soccer ball, Sunset was idly looking through her journal, and you were teleporting back and forth between the two same spots to stave off your boredom. After a few more moments of waiting, Rainbow sighed in annoyance.

Rainbow Dash: I'm starting to think she's not coming.

(Y/N): Just give her time Rainbow.

You said after you stopped teleporting.

(Y/N): The portal between our worlds is still closed so Twilight's probably coming up with a way to be able to come over here. If she can't, then I'm sure she'll let Sunset know by using her journal.

Rainbow Dash: You think so?

(Y/N): Yeah, I do. Knowing her, she'll probably come up with some scientific way to get here. She's smart like that.

Fluttershy: Umm, Y/N? Have you ever tried opening the portal yourself by using your magic?

(Y/N): I did. Some time after the Fall Formal, I tried to see if I could open the portal permanently, but nothing I've done has worked. I'm guessing it takes a tremendous amount of magic to open it.

Suddenly, the mirror began to glow a familiar light as you all stood up and stepped back a few steps.

Applejack: What in tarnation is goin' on?!

(Y/N): I... I recognize this light! It's the same light that occured when Twilight and Spike came into this world the first time!

Rarity: So, what you're trying to say is-

(Y/N): Yep! Our magical friend is coming back!

You said before the light flashed and two figures flew through the portal and you managed to catch them with your magic before they could hit the floor. After the light had died down, you were able to make out the familiar light mulberryish gray skin which belonged to the Princess herself, Twilight Sparkle! You were also able to recognize her faithful doggy/dragon companion, Spike! You set the both of them down gently before the girls grinned with joy at seeing their long-gone friend.

The Rainbooms: Twilight!

Twilight took a moment to snap herself out of the daze of traveling through the portal again before she looked up at all of you.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm back.

She said in a slightly nervous voice before Sunset came over and offered her a hand. Twilight seemed hesitant at first until she accepted it before she was immediately pulled into a group hug by the Rainbooms. You smiled at the reunion of friends before Twilight turned her gaze in your direction and her eyes widened upon seeing you. You walked over to her as the girls separated the group hug.

(Y/N): It's nice seeing you again... "cousin."

You greeted her with a smirk. She smiled brightly before pulling you into a hug to which you gladly obliged. She giggled during this.

Twilight Sparkle: It's nice seeing you too, Mr. Savior of CHS.

After a moment, you both separated as she turned to the others.

Twilight Sparkle: It's nice seeing all of you as well. I got your message.

(Y/N): Really? I'm guessing you found some information about them?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes, and I'm afraid I have some bad news about those new girls.

This made everyone, including you, nervous.

(Y/N): So, for the first and most obvious question, what exactly are they?

Twilight Sparkle: From how you guys described them in Sunset's journal, they're most likely the sirens.

The Rainbooms: Sirens?

Sunset Shimmer: The sirens? Wait, I think I remember reading about them once when I was just a little filly back in Equestria.

(Y/N): So, what were you able to find out about them?

Twilight Sparkle: Apparently, the sirens were three beautiful, but dangerous, creatures that existed long ago. They were known to cause strife and disorder across all of Equestria by singing which caused ponies to argue and fight one another so they could feed off their negative energy. When they did this, it allowed them to become even more powerful to the point where they could physically control the minds of ponies to do their bidding. If they continued like this, they would have eventually taken over all of Equestria.

Fluttershy: Were they defeated?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes. Before their plan could be complete, a powerful unicorn by the name of Starswirl the bearded was able to stop them. According to legend, he had apparently used a spell to conjure a portal in space and time and sent the three sirens into it which took them to another world. A world he believed was devoid of all magic.

(Y/N): Our world.

You finished after she said the last part to which she nodded.

Twilight Sparkle: Looks like it.

Applejack: Wait just an apple pickin' minute. If what you're sayin' is true Twilight, that the sirens were defeated and banished many years ago, then that would mean that they've gotta be several years old. Yet, they look as young as a growin' apple tree seedling.

(Y/N): If I heard Twilight's story right, she said that the sirens were banished through a portal in space and time. So, not only did it put them in a different place, it also put them in a different period of time. In other words, the future. What may have been many years on the outside world, for them, it must have been only a couple of moments. That would explain why they look so young.

Twilight Sparkle: That is a decent theory Y/N. It would seem that they've been using their magic to control people temporarily to give them essentials such as clothing, shelter, and food to get by in this world.

(Y/N): Speaking of which, I'm guessing since they missed their chance at ruling Equestria, they're settling for this world, aren't they?

Twilight Sparkle: Either that or they may have been biding their time here until Equestrian magic came their way in order to get back to Equestria which seems to be what's happening.

Rainbow Dash: So, how are we gonna stop them?

(Y/N): We'll have to figure that part out as we go. How about we all go to the Sweet Shoppe in order to clear our heads and come up with a plan?

You suggested to which they all nodded before you all left the school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and the Rainbooms arrived at the Sweet Shoppe. Rainbow was getting the drinks while the rest of the girls wanted to catch up with Twilight and hear about what she's been up to as of late.

Rarity: Oh, I do hate that you had to return at a time of crisis. There's so much catching up to do!

Applejack: For starters, a certain blue-haired guitar player was just askin' about you.

Twilight Sparkle: Flash Sentry was asking about me?!

She asked in an excited voice while blushing before she began to twirl her hair around her finger. Meanwhile, you were all smirking at her from seeing her reaction. Twilight then got rid of her blush and cleared her throat before speaking.

Twilight Sparkle: Isn't that nice?

She said before taking a quick sip of her milkshake.

Twilight Sparkle: A-Anyways, so Y/N, how have things been going with you since everyone at the school knows about your magic?

(Y/N): Ehhhh, it's been a little up and down lately. For the most part, people seem fine with the idea of me having magic. Although, some of my fears came true as a couple of the more selfish students tried to use me for their own personal gain.

You said the last part in a slightly annoyed tone.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, but we've made sure those kinds of students never came anywhere near him again after that. Right girls?

They all nodded to her question.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, that's good. It must feel nice to know that you don't have to hide your magic anymore.

You nodded before smiling.

(Y/N): Yeah. It is a rather huge relief. It honestly feels like a huge stone was lifted from my back when I confessed. But anyways, enough about me, what about you Twilight? What have you been up to in Equestria?

You asked. Twilight went on and explained to you and your friends about everything she went through after she went back home and how she had lots of new adventures along with her friends there. One of which involved having to take down an evil centaur named Tirek who wanted to steal all of the magic from every living creature in order to take over the world. She also explained how she managed to reopen the portal by linking Celestia's journal to the crystal mirror using a set of machine parts. Thus, it opened the portal indefinitely allowing anyone to pass through it any time they please.

(Y/N): Wow, that definitely is a lot for someone to go through. You know, for a princess, you've done a great job so far by protecting the citizens and those you care about, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you Y/n.

She said while smiling.

Spike: She's even got an official title now.

He said before he used a doggy treat as a trumpet and imitated fanfare.

Spike: The Princess of Friendship!

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, that's really impressive. Guess you really were Princess Celestia's prized pupil.

She said while looking a little down.

(Y/N): Hey, come on Sunset. You were too. I'm willing to bet my entire life savings that if you were to return to Equestria, Princess Celestia would forgive you for your past mistakes.

Sunset Shimmer: You really think she would?

(Y/N): I'm sure of it.

Twilight Sparkle: Y/N's right Sunset. Princess Celestia will surely forgive you if you went back.

Sunset Shimmer: Really? Does she know about what happened to me when I lived with my step parents?

Twilight Sparkle: She does. I told her about everything you went though when you were a filly living under their roof. She's not angry at you anymore Sunset. That means that she'll be more than happy to see you again if you ever choose to visit her.

Sunset Shimmer: I... I don't know. I'll have to think about it some more before I make a final decision. Thanks for telling me Twilight.

Twilight nodded.

Twilight Sparkle: Of course.

(Y/N): So, what else has happened to you Twilight?

Spike: You probably won't believe this, but she's got her own castle now!

Rarity: A CASTLE!?!?

She shouted before grabbing Twilight and pulling her closer.

Rarity: You have your own castle?!

She said while excited before she noticed the rest of you looking at her strangely. She then blushed slightly before letting go of Twilight.

Rarity: Ooh, uh, lovely.

She said while smiling bashfully.

Twilight Sparkle: So what's new here? I mean, besides your school becoming the target of dangerous magical creatures from Equestria?

(Y/N): Heh, I'm so glad you asked that Twilight. Because I have some photos that will really make you say "like what."

Twilight Sparkle: Like what?

She asked while feeling curious. You answered by pulling out your phone and you showed her the pictures of the Rainbooms in their Pony-Up forms.

Twilight Sparkle: T-They transformed?!

She asked surprised.

(Y/N): They did. Quite surprising isn't it? If this were pokemon, you could say that they had temporary evolutions.

Rainbow Dash: Pretty sweet huh? It happens to us when we play.

(Y/N): The only exception being me even though I play in the band also. So Twilight, I don't suppose you have any answers as to why this is happening right?

Twilight Sparkle: Hmm. My crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have remained here at Canterlot High.

She said before gaining a smile.

Twilight Sparkle: Now that we're all back together, we can use that magic on the sirens. Just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifyingly awful winged monster!

You nudged Twilight's shoulder which got her attention. Much like with Rarity, you pointed your eyes at a now slightly saddened Sunset before Twilight realized what she said.

Twilight Sparkle: No offense.

She apologized.

Sunset Shimmer: None taken.

She sighed once more.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm used to it.

She said sadly before you placed a hand on her back and rubbed it gently which garnered a small smile from her.

Rainbow Dash: They'll never know what hit them!

She said before she started doing a bunch of karate kicks and punches before her fist was caught by yours.

(Y/N): Whoa, whoa! Easy there karate kid! Cool your jets!

Rainbow chuckled before sitting back down.

Applejack: We've got nothin' to worry about now that Twilight's back.

Fluttershy: Oh, I'm pretty sure I could find something to worry about.

She said while feeling scared and nervous.

Fluttershy: But it won't be the sirens.

Twilight Sparkle: The sooner we do this, the better. Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?

She asked which made Pinkie quickly finish off her milkshake before she answered.

Pinkie Pie: There's a big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase! That would include the Dazzlings.

Twilight Sparkle: Looks like we've got a party to crash.

(Y/N): We'll need to proceed with caution though. The Dazzlings might use their magic to make everyone stand against us if we don't handle this carefully.

Twilight Sparkle: You're right. We need to tread carefully when we get there.

Sunset then thought of something before she spoke up.

Sunset Shimmer: Umm, Twilight? Can I speak to you for a moment? Privately?

Twilight at first seemed confused by what Sunset wanted to talk to her about before she nodded and followed Sunset outside.

Twilight Sparkle: So, what was it you wanted to tell me Sunset?

Sunset at first was hesitant to tell Twilight this but she managed to stave off her nerves and speak.

Sunset Shimmer: I don't want to make you distrustful of him or anything, but I think you should be careful around Y/N for now.

Twilight seemed confused by this.

Twilight Sparkle: What? Why would I need to be careful around him? He's a good guy.

Sunset Shimmer: I know he is. It's just that... it's just that something happened to him today that you need to know about.

Twilight Sparkle: Really? What happened to him?

Sunset Shimmer: Back during lunch in the cafeteria today, the Dazzlings came in and started singing which ended with every other student there fighting with each other. The girls and I were unaffected, but I don't think I can say the same about Y/N. He suddenly got this massive headache out of nowhere which put him in a lot of pain. We managed to get him out of there as we couldn't help but feel concerned for him. We tried to see if he was okay... and do you know what he did?

Twilight shook her head in response. Sunset sighed before continuing.

Sunset Shimmer: He... he screamed at us... aggressively. As if he was going to punch us if we so much as touched him.

Twilight's eyes widened immediately after hearing that. This was not the kind of news she was expecting. You yelled at them? That didn't seem like you at all. Even though it was a rather brief amount of time that she spent with you, she still came to know you as a carefree and upbeat type of guy who almost never got angry unless you were provoked. So, the fact that you acted that way to them was... surprising, and not in a good way. What if... what if the girls were protected from the siren's magic, but you weren't. What if you were to fall under their spell? What if you were to make your way to Equestria?! What if-

Twilight's current fearful train of thought was interrupted when she felt Sunset's hand on her shoulder.

Sunset Shimmer: Twilight?

Twilight took a moment to calm herself before answering.

Twilight Sparkle: I... I don't know what to say to that. It really doesn't seem like he would do such a thing.

Sunset Shimmer: I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true. Which is why I think we need to be cautious and also keep an eye on him at all times. We don't know what could happen to him.

Twilight at first didn't want to immediately demonize you since she came to know you as a wonderful guy, but this was something she couldn't ignore. She sighed before she spoke.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay.

Sunset nodded before the both of them walked back inside to join with the rest of you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and the Rainbooms later made it to the gym where a party was being held for all of the participating bands for the newly named "Battle of the Bands." Due to the Dazzlings' influence, everyone there was giving each other dirty looks the entire time while some were arguing. Flash was currently glaring at Snips and Snails while with his band before he sighed in annoyance.

Flash Sentry: I'm gonna get more punch!

He said angrily before he and Twilight bumped into each other before he managed to catch her from falling.

Flash Sentry: Twilight?

He said in a surprised voice upon seeing her again. Twilight immediately blushed from this and began speaking incoherently.

Twilight Sparkle: Eh, bumped, into, always, doing?

Flash helped her stand straight as Twilight composed herself.

Flash Sentry: What are you doing here? You came back for the big competition, right?

Twilight Sparkle: Something like that.

You then walked over and greeted him.

(Y/N): Hey Flash, what's up?

Flash Sentry: Oh, hey Y/N. You're in this competition as well?

(Y/N): That I am. I'm the backup guitarist for the Rainbooms while Twilight here is helping us with something.

Flash Sentry: Huh, interesting.

He said before narrowing his eyes slightly.

Flash Sentry: Anyways, it's not like there's gonna be any real competition. No one here wants this as bad as my band does!

He said in an arrogant voice before the Dazzlings soon came into the gym to which you noticed. You nudged Twilight's shoulder which got her attention as you pointed your eyes over at the Dazzlings before she noticed them too and nodded.

(Y/N): Could you excuse us for just a moment Flash?

You asked before you and Twilight walked off to rejoin the Rainbooms while Flash just shrugged.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm guessing those girls are the Dazzlings?

(Y/N): Yeah. Not to rush you or anything Twilight, but I wouldn't waste this opportunity to use the magic of friendship if I were you.

Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry. I don't plan on hesitating any time soon.

Rainbow Dash: So, are we gonna do the same thing as last time? Where we transform and shoot a huge rainbow at them?

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe. Let's go girls.

She said to the Rainbooms who nodded.

(Y/N): Good luck, you guys. I'll be rooting for you.

You said with a charming smile which made the girls, minus Twilight, blush before they got rid of them.

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks Y/N.

She said before they all began making their way to the middle of the room while you walked over and stood next to Sunset who stood by to watch the whole thing.

Sunset Shimmer: Do you think they can pull this off Y/N?

She asked in a concerned voice.

(Y/N): Maybe Sunset. We can only hope at this point.
