CANTERLOT HIGH SCHOOL 3:15 PM

As time passes for the Battle of the Bands after 5 hours and 15 minutes, a camera shot shows Flash's band being eliminated from the Battle of the Bands, losing against The Dazzlings.

The rest of the bands, were resulted other than the bands mentioned in the last chapter, were Photo Finish's band won against The Diamond Dogs' band, the Dazzlings won against the Drama band AND Photo Finish's band, Flash Drive beats The Crusaders' band, and all that's left in the semifinals is Trixie and the Illusions against The Rainbooms and the Lasagna Medleys.

Flash, extremely furious at the results, storms away with his bandmates watching. The camera shot transits to backstage, where Squeak and Sunset discuss about Garfield and Twilight's next performance.

"This is it. Last round, and you're in the finals; unless if you guys think the counter-spell is ready to be played now.", Sunset confides, with Twilight and Garfield are nervous about the counter-spell.

"Don't worry, Twilight and Garfield. Finals aren't until tonight.", Applejack cheers the two up.

"What time?", Liz asks the country girl.

"7:00 PM."

"Where?"

Applejack answers Liz's question, then comforting the cat and princess, "At the Amphitheater in the centre of the city, where the venue for the finals is at. We'll get in a little more practice before we're supposed to hit the stage. We won't let you guys down."

"You won't let us down.", Twilight laments with Garfield sadly, with Garfield's friends, Sunset and Squeak looking at the sad two.

Fluttershy says to Rainbow she is wondering, "We haven't played any of my songs yet, and..."

"It's the Semifinals. We gotta do "Awesome As I Wanna Be".", Rainbow chose.

This leaves the nature girl sorrowfully saying, "Don't know why I even asked."

"Ooh, ooh, ooh!", Nermal tried to get Garfield his attention. "Can I sing "Payphone" with Rainbow Dash's "Awesome As I Wanna Be" while you, Odie, Jon, Liz and Arlene can dance to the rhythm?"

"Well...for saving the best song and medleys for last in the finals, yeah, sure!", Garfield confirmed.

10 minutes later, Trixie and the Illusions finish their song like this:

Trixie: I got tricks up my sleeve, See me dominate 'cause I'm powerful and GREAT!

Trixie ends the performance by throwing her guitar pick, which lands on the table where the two principals are applauding.

"Fantastic!", rated Celestia about Trixie and the Illusions' amazing performance.

"Here comes the "illusionist wizard".", Garfield gritted again, telling his friends about the time he met Trixie at the vending machine the first time the six came here with Twilight and Spike, as the "The Great and Powerful" Trixie approaches the 26.

"You're never gonna top that performance, Rain-goons and Lame-sagna Medleys! You shouldn't be allowed to, when you guys have such a big advantage over the rest of us.", brags Trixie.

Rainbow proved to her, "My superior guitar playing and off-the-charts awesome singing voice?"

"AND our incredible medleys?", Nermal proved and added to Rainbow's sentence.

"Oh, don't you two be ridiculous. I mean those two!", Trixie said in a mean voice while pointing to Garfield and Twilight, who the two blush, embarrassed. "If you were really all that, Rainbow Dash, you guys wouldn't have needed to bring in some magical ringer to have half a chance. Everyone's talking about it."

"Ha! Puh-lease. Me and Nermal could win this thing as a solo act and a solo medley, and everybody knows it.", Rainbow proves once again to Trixie then asks if Nermal agrees with her, which he does. After she says this, a camera shot shows all the five girls except Twilight, Sunset and Spike, with resentment. Garfield's friends except the leader look at him, not having the same emotion as the five girls are.

The cat explained, "I allowed Nermal to sing in a solo medley with Rainbow Dash for one time."

Trixie, continuing on with Rainbow and Nermal's conversation, bragging, "Sure you could.", before pulling out a smoke bomb.

"No...NOT THE SMOKE BOMB GAG!", Garfield and Nermal gasp and yell.

"The what-now?", Poppy and Tecna ask the two pets simultaneously, before Trixie throws the smoke bomb on the floor, exploding into a cloud of blue smoke.

All the twenty-six cough until the blue smoke cloud clears, and Pinkie and Odie open one of their eyes, with the wacky pink-haired girl exclaiming, "She's GONE!"

"OH NO!", the dog yelped. That is, until Pinkie and Odie spot the Great and Powerful wizard.

"Oh, wait. There she is.", Pinkie calms, finding her hiding behind where Pinkie's drums are. Odie whispers about Trixie being a wizard, "Liar.", as she flees.

Then a voice from the intercom says:

"Next up, the Rainbooms and the Lasagna Medleys."

The six girl band members and the six Garfield characters go up on stage, with the six EAH students, the three Alfea girls, Charlie Brown, Snoopy & Woodstock, Squeak, Sunset Shimmer and Spike watching.

"Knock 'em dead, Rainbooms.", Spike cheered.

Roxy and Rosabella join, "Go Rainbooms and Lasagna Medleys!"

"I'll be here...just...watching.", Sunset saddens.

Squeak comforts her again, saying, "Don't be sad. I'm sure Twilight and Garfield will give the opportunity for you to join the band.", before thinking to himself, "I hope."

The song starts as Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity vocalize with their instruments with Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz and Arlene dancing.

Rainbooms: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! (Rainbow: Awesome As I Wanna Be!) (2x)

Nermal: I'm at a payphone trying to call home, all of my change I've spent on you,

Where have the times gone, baby, it's all wrong, Where are the plans we made for two?

Rainbow: First you see me riding on a sonic boom, Got my guitar, shredding up the latest tune!

There is nothing you could do to beat me, I'm so good that you can't defeat me!

Nermal: I've wasted my nights, you turned out the lights, now I'm paralyzed,

Still stuck in that time, we called it love, But even the sun sets in paradise...

Rainbow: Yeah, I'm awesome, take caution, Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I want to be! (2x)

Nermal: I'm at a payphone trying to call home, all of my change I've spent on you,

Where have the times gone, baby, it's all wrong, Where are the plans we made for two?

During the course of the performance, Rainbow and Nermal were having so much fun singing and dancing, but suddenly, Applejack, Pinkie and Rarity were still vocalizing, but were starting to get irritated by Rainbow Dash taking the spotlight, except for the six Garfield characters (who were too busy dancing to the beat), Twilight and Fluttershy.

Backstage, Sunset and Squeak fearfully witness Rainbow doing an extravagant guitar solo while Nermal is continuing his song, with the other five girls singing and Nermal's five friends dancing continuously. The spotlights point on Rainbow and Nermal, causing the four girls excluding Twilight irritated and angry while vocalizing, with Twilight, Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz and Arlene looking at Nermal confusingly when he is in the spotlight with Rainbow.

Nermal: If Happy Ever After did exist, I would still be holding you like this...

In another camera shot, the other twelve people, Sunset and Squeak witness Rainbow nearly getting a pair of pony ears with Nermal still singing:

Nermal: All those fairy tales are full of it...

As the pony ears nearly glows into the shape of the pony ears, Sunset and Squeak had no choice but to stop Rainbow and Nermal, horrified at the thought the Dazzlings my discover their plan.

The two run, with the twelve yelling, "Sunset! Squeak! NO!"

Nermal: One more stupid love song, I'll be sick-

"WATCH OUT!", Squeak yells, as Sunset and Squeak lunge at Rainbow and Nermal, averting the pony ears to appear.

However, a chain reaction started for the Rainbooms. Sunset and Rainbow then topples Twilight, latter still holding the microphone and grabs Rarity's keytar, knocking her down due to her instrument still attached to her, with her leg kicks Applejack's bass, sending it and embeds in one of Pinkie's now-torn drums.

The camera shot zooms out to show the havoc that happened to the Rainbooms. The Lasagna Medleys were fine except for Squeak and Nermal, who the former lunged at him accidentally.

The light turns on, causing Fluttershy to run backstage to avoid her stage fright. Rainbow Dash's pony ears fade, and glared at Sunset, who accidentally lunged at her. Nermal did the same thing to Squeak. As she, Squeak, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity and Nermal got up, Sunset and Squeak look at the principals, who Luna glares at the two and Celestia angrily began to write notes. The mouse gulps at this.

"Now, that's the bad girl we love to hate!", Flash tumults, as the crowd roars, agreeing with Flash.

"I knew she was still trouble! Along with that mouse!", Octavia Melody realizes with anger.

Everyone in the crowd but the two principals cheer and one voice says, "The real Sunset Shimmer is back! And with a mouse!"

"Wha- But, I wasn't-", frowns Squeak.

Sunset softly failingly excused, "No. It...it isn't like that."

"DARN IT!", Squeak yelled at his and the girl's misfortune, trudging off with the Rainbooms and the six Garfield characters backstage again to meet with the other twelve.

Meanwhile, the Dazzlings were watching this the whole time from the bleachers again...and they smile as they might've found out what the Rainbooms and Lasagna Medleys are planning...
