We stare at the three from our table as the whole cafeteria was filled with arguing people.

"Ohhhh. They're that kind of "off"."

We walked out of the cafeteria as I blurted out my thoughts.

"Those three are definitely in possession of some kind of dark magic. How else could you explain what happened back there?"

"Don't worry, y'all. We'll let Principal Celestia know all about this and those girls will be kicked to the curb in no time. The last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by some power-crazed lunatic," she pauses then looks at me, "Er, no offense."

I sigh. "None taken."

Shortly, we were inside Principal Celestia's office discussing the incident in the cafeteria.

"Dark magic? I find that very hard to believe. Those girls came into my office earlier and were absolutely delightful."

"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." Vice Principal Luna comments.

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

Rainbow Dash interrupted. "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?"

"Yes."

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

Applejack looked confused. "The "Dazzlings"?"

"It's the name of their musical group. That's why they came by my office earlier – to sign up for the Showcase. Even sang a little song to Vice Principal Luna and I."

"They did?"

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

We started whispering with each other, oblivious of the green glow that came from their eyes.

We decided to end the discussion and walked over to the statue.

"I can't believe they got to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna too."

"They've gotten to everybody."

"Not everybody!" Pinkie Pie interrupts while dangling.

"Pinkie Pie's right. We were there when the Dazzlings were singin' and we weren't affected. It was like we were protected somehow."

"So, let's take them down! It's not like we haven't tangled with dark magic before and totally whooped its sorry butt!" she looks at me, "Uh, no offense."

"None taken. Again."

Fluttershy continues while letting go of the ladybug she was holding. "But that was when Twilight was here. There may be some kind of magic inside us, but it only comes out when we play music. I sure don't know how to use it to... whoop anybody's butt."

"If only we could get a message to Twilight. Maybe she could tell us how to break the spell the Dazzlings have cast on our friends."

"Well, that's not gonna happen. The portal's closed."

"And I get the feeling they don't exactly have cell phones where she's from."

Suddenly, a light bulb lit up in my mind. "I may have an idea how we can get in touch with Princess Twilight!"

We ran up to my locker as I searched the box inside it.

"When I was Princess Celestia's student back in Equestria, she gave me this," I said showing them a brown book, "Even after I abandoned my studies, I held onto it. Deep down, I guess I knew I was making a big mistake, and I wanted to still have a way to reach out to her. Maybe it still works."

"That's a book, darling. What do you mean, "maybe still works"?"

"It used to be that if I wrote something here, it would appear in the pages of a book back in Princess Celestia's library. I get a message to her, then she can get a message to Princess Twilight."

"So what are you waiting for? Get to writing!" Rainbow Dash beckons handing me a pen.

"Been a long time since I've written these words.

Dear Princess Celestia..."

(Y/N) POV:

Many things have already happened ever since we came back from the human world. Twilight became princess, defeated a monster, a castle sprouted out from the ground and I got my very own throne.

A man entered the throne room with Applejack and Fluttershy pushing a crate behind him. "Excuse me, Princess. Where do you want all these books from Princess Celestia?"

"The library. Third door on the left."

"Even this one that's glowin' and vibratin'?"

I looked at the book which was at the very top. He was true to his words, it was glowing.

Twilight dropped the book she was reading to inspect it.

"What is it, Twilight?" I asked her while scooting over.

"It looks like a message to Princess Celestia from our friends at Canterlot High."

"How is that even possible?" Rarity asks me.

"I have no idea"

Twilight interrupts. "So do I. But, it... sounds like they need my help."

She walks over to the library as we follow her.

"The way Sunset Shimmer described them, I think these new girls sound an awful lot like... the sirens."

"Not the sirens!" Pinkie Pie exclaims before whispering to Fluttershy, "don't actually know what that is!"

"The sirens were three beautiful but dangerous creatures who had the power to charm ponies with their music. But to maintain this power, they had to feed on the negativity and distrust of others."

I added. "The more of this negative energy they consumed, the stronger their voices became, and the farther they could spread their dark magic."

"I don't think I like this story very much," Fluttershy says, cowering behind me.

"If the sirens had their way, they would have divided and conquered all of Equestria. But a certain Star Swirl the Bearded wasn't having it. Rumor has it he found a way to banish them to another world – one where he believed their magic power would be lost. That world must have been the one where our Canterlot High friends live." She says looking at me.

"But Star Swirl must have sent them there ages ago. How come they're just surfacin' now?"

"I don't know. But if my hunch is right and it is the sirens who have come to Canterlot High, this spell they've cast is just the beginning. My friends need me. I have to get back to them."

"I hate to burst your bubble, Twilight, but the connection between their world and Equestria will still be totally cut off for a super long time."

I nod at her.

"Okay, first of all, if there was bubble-blowing going on, why wasn't I told about it?! And secondly, if the connection is totally cut off, how was Sunset Shimmer able to get a message to Twilight?" Pinkie Pie interrupts.

Twilight gasps. "Pinkie, you're a genius!"

"Yeah, I get that a lot."

"You sure do."

"Now, Rainbow Dash, about those bubbles..."

Twilight suddenly reappeared, carrying scientific tools behind her.

She starts putting them together as I stare at her in awe.

"And the interval between the two points is defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of the separation between the points along three spatial dimensions."

"Say what now?"

"Duh! She's gonna take the magic in here and put it in there. That'll make the portal open up so that whenever she wants to, she can go from here to there. There to here. Here to there. Here there! Here there! Here—"

"We get the idea!"

"Now to see if it actually works."

She started clicking and pulling several buttons and levers before the machine sprung to life.

"Don't suppose we could join you this time around?"

"Better not. It could make things pretty confusing if Canterlot High all of a sudden had two of all of you."

They all agree.

"But I still get to go, right? There isn't another one of me at Canterlot High. And you never know if you might need your trusty assistant." Spike asks her.

"I can go to. We're pretty sure there isn't another me in Canterlot High. Besides, Princess Celestia got me off the hook after 10 decades." I added.

"I'm pretty sure 10 days is far from 10 decades."

"It's the same for me."

Twilight nods her head.

"Yes!" Spike and I shout in unison.

"We won't be gone long."

The five said goodbye and told us to take care.

"Ready guys?"

"Ready!"

And like last time, I felt myself entering a void.
