HALLWAY 9:30 AM

While Garfield and his friends are finding a place to rehearse, they cannot seem to find one, due to Twilight, Garfield and Odie forgetting about the band room.

"I don't think we should use a classroom.", Twilight suggests.

"Yeah. Uncomfortable if we practice-", Garfield agreed, before Twilight and Garfield bump into Flash once again, who, after noticing the two, is not happy.

The cat and the princess chuckle, latter saying, "We really need to stop bumping into each other like this."

The cat also laughs and quietly says, "Because it's a running gag...?"

Flash then glares at Twilight, Garfield and their friends.

"Uh, you guys hear something?", mocked/asked Flash to his fellow bandmates. His bandmates answer no.

"I said, we have to stop-"

"There it is again! So annoying.", Flash angrily argued.

Twilight questioned, "Why are you acting like this? I thought we were friends."

"It's a running gag we shared before! What are you talking about?", joined Garfield, before Flash takes inhales scornfully.

Flash then abruptly argued, "Yeah, and then you guys decide to come back here just so you guys can beat me in the Battle of the Bands. I want this, Twilight and Garfield,and you two are trying to take it away from me! Some friends."

"That's not why-", Twilight sadly excuses, before is also interrupted by Garfield, saying in shock and horror, "But...we're not trying to-"

"Come on, Twilight and Garfield.", Applejack and Odie both said to their friends. "We've got things to do."

Flash then sees all of Twilight and Garfield's friends going to the room they're gonna practice in. "You two really think you're gonna help them? Heh! I bet you have no idea what you two are even doing!"

Twilight then starts to cry a little and then wipes the tears from her right eye. Garfield is traumatized and does the same thing. Tecna and Poppy (with Cupid resting her head on her shoulder and crying too), escort Twilight while Odie and Nermal also comfort Garfield.

Odie comforts the cat, "We'll get the tissues, ice cream and lasagna ready for you when we get there."

As they went on, the Dazzlings were unknowingly watching the whole thing from behind the group.

"Tears already? This is only the first round.", Adagio mocks to her two minions about the sorrow of Twilight and Garfield. Aria and Sonata laugh evilly to this, before an announcement by Celestia interrupts them.

"The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions."

"Better head back. We're supposed to go on after Trixie.", reminded Adagio to Aria and Sonata, before they walk back to the auditorium.

On the way there, they turn and walk into a dark corridor similar to the first film, but the doors into the backstage. Adagio then halts her two minions without reacting, this time with Sunset and Squeak in the dark, both virtuous.

"You're never get away with this...", says Sunset.

"...you sinister magic-feeding sirens.", growled Squeak angrily.

"Why? Because you two didn't?", mocks Adagio to the two, whose ires turn into doubt and fear, then turns into fury. "Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer, and that pesky mouse, Squeak. You two have got quite the reputation at Canterlot High."

"I've changed! I'm in a much better place now!", Sunset resisted Adagio's words.

"Yeah! And we were sent to beat you three! We're going to beat you three in the Battle of the Bands!", Squeak argued.

"Waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?", Aria manipulates, but the two still resist it.

"Well, sort of, but-", argues Squeak, with Sunset nervously puts one of her hands into her other hand's pinky.

Adagio continues, "Oh, yes. You guys are so tight, and yet...they didn't ask you two to be in the band.", as Sunset and Squeak are still angry at the three sinister girls.

Squeak, losing a bit of fury in his ire, says, "They are going to, soon!"

"Probably afraid no one would want to see them play if both were in the band.", brags Aria, as the camera closes up on Sunset and Squeak still angry, but thinking about this.

"It will only-", Squeak tries to explain arguably, but he and the red-yellow-haired girl are both startled by the mischievous Sonata.

"Too bad!", the blue-haired sinister girl taunts at the two, popping up and scaring them. She ducks and then startles the two again behind the two heroes, saying, "So sad!"

The girl and the mouse are still virtuous and angry at the trio.

Adagio finished, "If it's any consolation, no one is going to remember you and your mouse too at all by the time we're done.", leaving with her two minions, who the leader and the wacky siren girl bump Sunset with Squeak on the top of her head.

Sunset turns around, and then both angry and sad, glowers at the trio and rubs her shoulder moodily.

Squeak comforts her shoulder too, saying to Sunset, "The sirens did tried to manipulate us and instead hurt our feelings, but this has gone too far!"
