"Hi! Are you the girls I'm supposed to show around?", Sunset asks the new students, who arrives at the foyer to meet and escort them.

The new students were the same three girls, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk, from the beginning of the story, but with new school outfits.

"We are.", Adagio reveals.

"Canterlot High is a great school. You're really gonna love it.", Sunset started escorting the trio.

"Oh, yes. We really sense there's something...magical about this place...", Adagio agreed with the two sidekicks Aria and Sonata, secretly hinting an evil plan they're doing later.

A few minutes later, Sunset was escorting the three about where to go in the school and some other important things in CHS.

"That's the science lab...computer lab is in there...", Sunset tutors the trio, showing the science and computer labs in the hallway. She notices a poster for the musical showcase other than the ones they've made in the gym. "Oh! We're having a big musical showcase this weekend. The whole school is pretty much rallying around it."

Adagio gasps and asks: "A musical showcase...?", while sinisterly grinning at her two sidekicks.

"I'm sure since you're new, Princess Celestia would let you sign up if you're interested.", answered Sunset.

"We have been known to sing from time to time.", Aria sarcastically blurted.

Sonata spoiled: "Hel-looo? We sing, like, all the time. It's how we get people to do what we want." Adagio snarls at her and does a "zip it" gesture. "Wha-what did I say?"

"What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way to meet other students.", Adagio corrects.

"Oh, yeah! What you said I meant to say, that's what I meant. To say.", Sonata realizes.

"And what you would have said if you weren't the worst.", brags Aria.

"You are!"

Adagio interrupts the two arguing sidekicks and excuses to Sunset, "You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots."

Sonata and Aria says, "Hmph.", as they act kind to Sunset.

Sunset didn't say anything due to the strange trio's behaviour, and seconds later, after she looks around, she couldn't help but look at the trio's pendants they have on their neck.

Adagio's gem shined.

Aria's gem shined.

Sonata's gem shined.

"Those are pretty.", curiously comments Sunset, before her arm reaches for the pendant. "Where did you-"

Suddenly, Adagio grasps Sunset's arm to avoid touching her pendant. Realizing she's hurting her, she lets go of her arm, laughing sheepishly.

"Sorry. These pendants mean an awful lot to us. We'd just hate for anything to happen to them.", explains Adagio, why she grasps Sunset's arm.

As they leave, Sunset gets the feeling that something strange is with those three girls and starts wondering and asking herself:

"Why are they acting strangely?"
