One Year and Three Months Later...

On a clear morning, Sunset, Twilight and The Dazzlings woke up together, all with that same thought on their mind. Today was going to be the day that The Dazzlings started getting back into the education system.

Since they had never finished CHS and were only there for three days, they had to return to the world of education and start from the roots once more. The Dazzlings would have to work their way up from pre-school all the way back to high-school.

Twilight and Sunset got up and went to check on The Dazzlings, who had just woken up and got out of their new beds. Since they were now four years old and were getting older, they had to have had their rooms re-done. All their old baby toys and the changing table had gone. Their crib was now three separate beds, one for each of the walls in the room.

The walls hadn't changed however, they were still as Rarity and Fluttershy had painted them all those years ago, with musical score and smiling animals. The Dazzlings had just woken up and pulled the covers off of them before they got to their feet and ran giddily towards Twilight and Sunset.

"Morning, girls." Sunset said, tussling their hair once they had gotten close to her. "Did you have a good sleep?"

"Yes, Mommy." They all said together, looking at each other with smiles.

"Uh, uh, uh! Before you head downstairs, you have to remember to brush your teeth as well." Sunset said, leading The Dazzlings to the bathroom.

"Okay, Mommy." They said, walking into the bathroom with Twilight and Sunset watching them closely.

The two of them then watched as The Dazzlings stood up on a little stand, took the toothpaste and their toothbrushes and squirted a small amount of toothpaste onto their brushes. The brushes themselves were marked with The Dazzlings' names so they could tell which brush belonged to who.

Once they were happy with the amount of toothpaste, they put the toothbrushes to their teeth and began to brush them. Once they began brushing, Twilight and Sunset set a timer for two minutes and left The Dazzlings to it.

Adagio, Aria and Sonata used their brushes and efficiently cleaned each of the sections of their teeth as thoroughly as possible, to prevent decay and keep their teeth a nice and shiny white. They made sure to brush the fronts and backs of all their types of teeth, their molars, canines and incisors were all brushed quite well and they spat out the mixture once the two minutes were up.

Twilight and Sunset saw them rinsing down the toothpaste aftertaste with a little bit of water. Once they were finished, they ran back to the two of them and smiled, showing them their nice smiles.

"Ahh, such wonderfully white smiles!" Twilight said, examining every nook and cranny of The Dazzlings' mouths. "Wonderful work, girls."

"Come on, let's get something to eat." Sunset said as they all began to walk down the corridor towards the stairs.

"Do you know what today is, Aria?" Sonata said, looking a little giddy as she asked a question as they walked.

"Uhh... Super-hero dress-up day?" Aria took a guess and hoped that it was the right one.

"I wish! But no." Sonata said, getting one answer out of their minds. "Go on, Auntie Twilight. Tell her!" Sonata was bouncing at this moment.

"Today's the day you start to learn again." Twilight said as the five of them walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "Today, we'll be enrolling you into Kindergarten, so you can make some new friends and even learn something new along the way."

"That sounds like fun!" Adagio said as she got her breakfast from Sunset once it had been poured into a bowl for her. "Thanks, Mommy."

"You're welcome, Adagio." Sunset said, watching Adagio scurry off to the table to eat her cereal. Then she poured the cereal for Aria and Sonata, who took the bowls, smiled and then returned to their happy-looking sister, Adagio.

The three Siren children all took spoons from the table and began to scoop up regular amounts of cereal and shovel them into their mouths. Since their teeth had developed much more over the years, they could chew things much more thoroughly now.

Twilight and Sunset on the other hand were having blueberry pancakes. Twilight was now accustomed to using hands perfectly now, so she was more than capable of making her own pancake and flipping it in the pan. Sunset watched Twilight's cooking with a little smile growing on her face.

Once Twilight was finished, she used carefully put the hot pancake onto a plate and carried it over to the table, where Adagio, Aria and Sonata were still eating. Twilight put her plate down and pulled up a chair to sit down on.

Sunset finished with her pancake cooking, put hers onto a similar plate and copied what Twilight had done. Only this time, Sunset took some sippy-cups and filled them up with blackcurrant juice for Adagio and Aria and orange juice for Sonata.

"There you go, girls. You'll need something to wash all that cereal down afterwards." Sunset said, putting the cups next to The Dazzlings' plates.

"Thanks, Mommy." They said, as they finished another spoonful of their cereals and took a little sip from their cups, instantly smiling once the flavours of their drinks swished around in their mouths before disappearing down their throats.

"You're welcome." Sunset said, before taking another bite out of her pancake and swallowing it once she'd chewed it thoroughly.

The next few minutes were spent with all five of the girls munching their breakfasts and washing it down with their drinks. Sunset was drinking some freshly squeezed OJ, which had much more flavour than Sonata's juice, which had been from concentrate.

Twilight was more accustomed to a cup of coffee on a morning, it helped her truly wake up on days like this, when she had a lot of stuff to get done. She always had her coffee with milk and sweeteners, so that it tasted better without adding any calories on at the same time.

"You know, there's something I need to get closure on, Sunset." Twilight said as she took a break from her breakfast.

"Alright then, shoot." Sunset said, allowing Twilight to speak her mind.

"Why does this world have ponies that can't fly, use magic or even talk?" Twilight asked. "On top of that, why does this world have Earth Ponies that don't tend to the land themselves?"

"Well, things work a lot differently in this world." Sunset said, explaining to Twilight all the details. "In this world, talking animals are very weird, so in this world, only humans have sentient minds. As for something that wanders here from another world, like Equestria, they're turned into humans for the time they spend here, so that it all seems normal."

"Well, what about Sirens?" Twilight decided to further the discussion. "All Sirens came from Lyrica, as we've already learned about. So, do they get transformed as well?"

"No." Sunset went on. "I've been doing some late-night reading and discovered something incredible..."

"Oh? What is it, Sunset?" Twilight decided to ask, curious on what this new information would bring her.

"Sirens are mainly humans, like us. However, they have the ability to change their forms when they travel to other worlds, like Equestria." Sunset furthered this on. "They're not Changelings, however, which gives them more freedom to choose what or who they become."

"So what you're saying is..."

"That Sirens can become anyone, or anyTHING." Sunset finished. "The only way to tell that someone is a Siren is by looking closely for the pendants. While the Siren can change forms, their pendant always remains exposed with each new form, so you can tell it is a Siren."

"So, look for the pendants if they try to transform." Twilight said, finally getting how a Siren could change its' form to evade capture. "I'll be sure to remember that."

"Oh, and remember to strip The Blasters of theirs." Sunset said, reiterating that important fact to her. "As long as The Blasters have their pendants, they're virtually unstoppable."

Once they had finished talking, the girls all returned to their breakfast. Since The Dazzlings had been eating non-stop, they finished before Twilight and Sunset did.

"Can we watch T.V before we go, Mommy?" Sonata asked as she gently tugged at Sunset's trousers, getting her attention.

"Sure thing, Sonata." Sunset said, getting up from her chair and walking over with The Dazzlings to the couch. "Let me just get it on to the show you want..." She flipped the channels with each touch of the remote until she found what The Dazzlings wanted to watch.

The Dazzlings usually liked the morning cartoons once they had been introduced to them. One of their favourite shows involved a bunch of anthropomorphic animals who used their imaginations to go on spectacular adventures, whilst singing at regular intervals.

The Dazzlings liked shows like this, it was not only interactive and very entertaining for them, they also liked all the songs that were sung now and again and even tried to sing-along, when the chance came. Yet they could only really perfect the lyrics for the intro and ending song, since the songs in the middle were unique with every episode.

Sunset went back to Twilight once The Dazzlings started to watch their morning cartoons happily. Once she had returned, she saw Twilight had finished the last bite of her pancake and was just finishing her coffee.

"You know, I never quite understood these T.Vs" Twilight said as she took her plate to the sink to wash up after herself. "You get to freeze time, reverse it and even speed it up?"

"Well, only certain T.V boxes allow you to do that." Sunset said, telling Twilight everything there was to know about television. "If there's a show you're interested in or liked when you saw it, you can actually record the next one in the series so that you can watch it whenever you want, for as many times as you want."

"Seriously?" Twilight said, astonished that such a powerful piece of technology could even exist in this would.

"I'm not kidding, Twilight." Sunset said, smiling as she saw The Dazzlings watching their shows. "Why else do you think The Dazzlings have the remote now?"

"Even so... Such amazing technology this world has..." Twilight said, marvelling at the wonder of television, watching all the colours and characters came to life before her eyes. "If only Equestria was this technologically advanced..."

Twilight had just finished scrubbing her plate and moved on to her empty coffee mug once she'd done the plate to perfection. She put the plate on the rack and began to scrub the mug she'd been drinking out of. Once this was done, Twilight took a tea towel and quickly dried the rest of the suds off.

"Alright, I think we're just about ready to go." Sunset said, as she put her plate, mug and The Dazzlings' bowls into the sink. "Let me just finish off the cleaning here, then we can get The Dazzlings enrolled."

"Alright then." Twilight said, walking into the living room, where The Dazzlings looked happy as could be as they watched their morning cartoons together. Their feelings of joy were picked up immediately when Twilight saw their smiles once it had finished.

"Hehe, that was fun!" Sonata said, calming down once Sunset came into the room at last. "Can we watch some more, Mommy?"

"Later." Sunset said as she picked up some small, yet comfortable shoes that fit The Dazzlings' feet. "Let's get your shoes on, alright little ones?"

"Okay, Mommy." They all said as they sat down near the door and let Sunset and Twilight slip on their little shoes.

The shoes were all leathery on the outside, but hard on the inside. There were some nice red shoes with a golden buckle for Adagio, some sweet looking pink shoes for Aria and finally some nice looking glittery shoes for Sonata.

"Do you think we'll be able to play with our toys today, Mommy?" Adagio asked once the shoes she wore were fastened so that they wouldn't slip off of her when she walked.

"After you get home, girls." Sunset said, unlocking the door and opening it gently, so that she didn't accidentally bash them. "I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to be the kids you really want to be once you come back from school."

"Okay then." Aria said as she, Adagio and Sonata walked with Twilight and Sunset to the car outside.

Once they made it outside, Sunset pushed a button on a little remote with her keys on them and heard a noise, like a latch clicking. This meant to her and Twilight that the doors were unlocked.

"Alright girls, let me help you in..." Sunset said as she opened up the doors behind the front, revealing three seats for Adagio, Aria and Sonata. "Alright, Sonata, you come in first..."

Sonata laughed once again once she was picked up by Sunset, sat down on her seat and strapped in. Even though she was getting older now, Sonata still enjoyed the sensation of being carried through the air.

"Alright then, next is Adagio." Sunset said, picking the golden-haired girl up and putting her next to Sonata before buckling her up as well. "You're lucky, you've got the middle seat."

"Ahh... This feels so comfy." Adagio said as she felt the softness of the middle seat immediately envelop her in its' comfort.

"Lastly, we've got little Aria. Come on up, sweetie." She said as she finally picked up the last of the three Siren children and put her at the end, next to Adagio. "Aww... The three of you look so cute when you sit together like that."

Once she saw The Dazzlings were happy with their seating, Sunset shut the door and moved into the driver's seat, with Twilight sitting next to her. Sunset took out the key for the car and put it into the ignition port.

Once the key was in, she turned it, causing the car's engines to start revving up. The vibrations that ran through the car at this moment tickled Adagio, Aria and Sonata, causing them to chuckle lightly as the sweet sensation of a moving car connected with their ticklish skin.

"Hehe, that feels funny, Mommy!" Sonata said once the car had started to move out of the driveway and onto the street.

Sunset merely smiled, adjusted her top mirror so she could see the faces of The Dazzlings and went down the road to her place of destination.

The car trip was very much uneventful, as with most other days The Dazzlings had spent with Sunset together. Eventually, The Dazzlings got a little bored of waiting to get there and decided to play a few rounds of I-spy to pass the time.

Since Sunset was mainly focusing on the road, she was exempt from all their games, leaving Twilight as the only other choice for The Dazzlings to play with on the way there.

"Alright girls, let's start another round." Twilight said, looking out onto an open stretch of area and looking for something she thought would be good. "I-spy with my little eye, something beginning with... T"

"Ooh! Is It a tree?" Adagio asked, immediately getting what Twilight had picked and coming up with the most feasible answer for it.

"Yes it is, Adagio. You're such a smart little girl, aren't you?" Twilight said, congratulating the child version of the former rival she fought at CHS a few years ago. "You remind me of me when I was your age."

"Aww... Thanks, Auntie Twilight." Adagio said, blushing a little at that compliment after she'd received it from her.

"You're welcome." Twilight said as they went down another street, getting closer and closer to the destination that Sunset had in mind for Adagio, Aria and Sonata.

Once Sunset had arrived at the destination, she made her way into the car park at the back and parked between the lines. Once she did, she turned off the engine and climbed out of the car, with got Twilight to do the same thing with her side.

When they were both out, they opened the left and right sides of the car to let Adagio, Aria and Sonata out. They pushed the big red button on the clips to their side and let Twilight and Sunset carry them out.

"Hehe, Mommy. Don't stop that, ok?" Sonata said, smiling once again after she'd been put on her feet again.

"OK, Sonata." Sunset smiled back. Over the past few years, she'd really come to love The Dazzlings. Sure there had been some 'bumps in the road' when they first met, but now Sunset could see through the cold layer of evil and discover three sweet little girls underneath.

"Come on, girls. Let's go in." Twilight said as the five of them began walking.

The Dazzlings had to hold hands to stay together and not wander off. They did enjoy this feeling, as it not only made them feel like they weren't alone, but also because they had someone to depend on them and lead them in the right way.

They caught a quick glimpse of the building and looked a little surprised, it seemed like an ordinary everyday building. There wasn't really anything special or anything on the walls, but it was mainly what was inside that happened to catch their attention pretty quickly...

Inside, was a lightly coloured environment with all kinds of colourful things on the walls. The walls had all been painted to represent a grassland with clear skies and shining sunlight. The Dazzlings were immediately joyous upon seeing these colours hit their eyes and were eagerly looking forward to getting put into a class with other children of their age.

"Ahh, registration is just in front of us." Twilight said, looking at the reception counter at the end of the room. "How convenient."

Twilight went over to the reception and rang a bell, immediately hearing a nice sing-song voice coming from a door on the other side.

"Just a few minutes, dear!" It said back in quite a calming and sweet tone.

Twilight and Sunset let The Dazzlings admire the colourful walls for a few minutes whilst they waited for the receptionist to come back and register them into the class. As they waited, they saw The Snapshots come in and walk over to them.

"Ahh, Twilight! I was hoping zat we'd bump into you here." Photo Finish said, greeting Twilight once more. "So, how are ze little ones doing?"

"Oh, they're fine." Twilight said, pointing them over to Adagio, Aria and Sonata, who were all playing around with the colours on the walls. "They've recently turned four again."

"So, they're making progress, are they?" Pixel said as she went over to The Dazzlings and smiled at their adorable little antics. "To think that after all this time, The Dazzlings would turn out this way..."

"This whole story would be a great autobiography once they grow up again, in my opinion." Violet said as she too could not help but smile at how cute The Dazzlings looked in this state. "I can see it now; Dazzling The Crowd, by The Dazzlings. A sure-fire best seller."

"Oh, hello there. Who are you?" Adagio said as she turned to get a look at The Snapshots.

"Hello zere, little ones. My name iz Photo Finish." She said, introducing herself to Adagio, Aria and Sonata. "Zis is Pixel Pizzaz and Violet Blur. We may just seem like ordinary girls to you, but to many we are known as..."

"The Snapshots!" They said, pulling out their cameras and making their signature pose once again.

The Dazzlings liked their little display and gave them some light applause for it, to which the three of them gladly accepted with a few bows.

"So, are you three starting out here today?" Pixel asked as she kneeled down to The Dazzlings' height so she and they could get a better look at each other.

"Yes. Our Mommy and Auntie are just signing us in now." Aria said, pointing back to Twilight and Sunset, who were just writing down in a book, handed from a woman with an apron and yellow hair. "Once they say we're ready, we can go and play with other kids."

"Good for you." Violet said. "I remember when I started out here, I got really nervous because I didn't fit in with others because I carried a little camera with me all the time."

"Oh, I remember that." Pixel said adding into that conversation. "You felt like this wasn't any fun until I came in a few weeks later and the two of us shared our interests, namely our love for photography."

"But zen ze two of you came to CHS, met me and we were created." Photo Finish said, wrapping up their little talk. "Ahh... Memories are such a wonder when you call zem back to ze surface, no?"

"So, Snapshots. What exactly did you come in for?" Sunset said, rejoining the group once all the paperwork had been done. "It's unlike three grown-ups to walk into a pre-school entrance and not drop-off or pick up any kids."

"Well. We've been doing some deeper digging like you said, and we've found the story of the century." Pixel said, grinning at the dossier she pulled out of her backpack. "One that'll totally wipe The Blasters out if it gets published."

"Oh?" Sunset said as she and Twilight walked Adagio, Aria and Sonata down the hall to their class. "I'd love to hear it, but first, we need to drop The Dazzlings off in their new class, alright?"

"Oh sure, take all the time you need, girls." Violet said as she saw the five of them walk closer to the class. "We'll be outside, waiting for you."

Twilight and Sunset eventually led The Dazzling to the class they had been looking for, the Cubs classroom. The door had a bunch of bear pictures, possibly by the other kids here, no doubt. The handle itself was far too high for The Dazzlings to reach, let alone anyone other than Twilight, Sunset and the staff. Even so, they tried to jump up to reach the handle, but that led to no results.

"So, they'll be in here until 3:00 PM, when class finishes for the day." The staff member instructed Twilight and Sunset. "Make sure that you're both back here to pick them up by that time."

"We will." Sunset said, bearing a little smile as they led The Dazzlings inside the classroom. Sunset smiled once she got a good look at what was inside and immediately saw Adagio, Aria and Sonata sharing in that smile.

The room itself had a padded floor, so kids wouldn't hurt themselves if they fell over whilst they played. The activities here were quite plentiful, ranging from toys to little playhouses and even a slide for the children to use. There was also a table with soft plastic chairs, in case there were any lessons for the children in the class. The table was covered with pencils and crayons as well, so that they could draw as well. The kids here got along pretty well as well, carrying their toys around as they played such games like Hide-and-seek and Tag to pass the time before their next lesson.

"What do you think, Dazzlings? Does it look perfect?" Twilight said, pulling The Dazzlings away from that sight for a few seconds so they could acknowledge her.

"Oh, Auntie Twilight. It's perfect!" Adagio smiled as she looked back at the room once again.

"We couldn't have asked for anything better." Aria said, smiling at both Twilight and Sunset as they made their way inside. "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Auntie Twilight."

"You sure they'll be fine here?" Twilight asked once The Dazzlings were immersed in a playtime with some other children of their age.

"Trust me, Twilight. We offer quality education and non-stop fun for all children who come to us." The woman said, clearly reciting from some tenets she had to read upon being hired. "We offer the best treatment for children like yours and you won't have to worry about them until three in the afternoon."

"Well, you seem to know what you're doing." Sunset smiled as she saw some children being cared being for another member of staff, who had orange pigtails for hair and a smile on her face. "First, let me say goodbye to my kids before we leave."

"Alright then, just make it fast. Lesson time starts in five minutes." She said, telling Sunset of the time she had to say her goodbyes.

Sunset went into the room and avoided contact with the kids who were running around happily with one another. Eventually, she made it to The Dazzlings and brought them together for a few minutes so she could say her goodbyes.

"Ok, girls. We've got to get back to the house now." Sunset said to The Dazzlings, making sure they were listening to what she was saying before she continued on. "Just make sure that you play with some new friends, learn lots and overall, just have fun here."

"Okay, Mommy." Sonata said, smiling as she nodded with Adagio and Aria. "We'll have lots of fun here, I just know we will."

"Alright then, We'll see you at three, girls." Sunset said as she walked back over to the door to Twilight. "We'll see you at 3:00, girls. Bye-Bye!"

"Bye-Bye, Mommy!" They all said together, waving her off as she went out of the room and back down the hallway to the entrance. Once Sunset was out of their sight, Adagio, Aria and Sonata decided to walk around the room, hoping to make some new friends here.

Eventually, Twilight and Sunset walked out of the building, where The Snapshots were waiting for them. They smiled once Twilight and Sunset made it out and showed them the contents of the dossier.

"Alright, girls. Let's see what you've been digging up..." Sunset said as she and Twilight began looking at different pictures and newspaper articles on The Blasters.

"I hope you like what we found for you, Sunset and Twilight." Pixel said, smiling confidently as they all looked at the pictures and articles that related to the case at hand. "We tried our best, as usual."

"Don't worry about how you did, Snapshots." Twilight said as she looked very closely at mainly the pictures, trying to find the colours of The Blasters' pendants, to tell whether they were Furens or Blissens. "Anything on The Blasters could prove helpful to us..."

Author's Notes:

Thank you for reading the latest chapter in Dazzle Dazzle, Little Stars. I hope you all enjoyed it and make sure you leave all your thoughts and comments on this story below. I could use a little conversation now and again. It helps me stay active and push out more chapters. So evidently, commenting more will help me make more on this story and eventually start on the two sequels.

Now then, this is actually very optional, but if there are any artists reading this story, you can go ahead and make some concept art from what you've been reading so far. Scenes like The Dazzlings singing the Second Life Song, or artwork of The Blasters themselves. Heck, you could even do an EQG model of The Blasters, if you wanted to. But as I said, this is all optional. You don't have to make concept art, but it would be nice to see some nonetheless. It makes it more believable to the audience.

But anyways, I need to get back to Celestia, Luna and the others. We're just about to arrive in Japony...

Night--Mist: So, Shad. Do yoo have anyting pwanned fow da sequews?

Me: Weww, I pwan on making Da Bwastews da stwongest-sounding viwwains out of da whowe fandom...

Night--Mist: Ooh... I wook fowwawd to how powewfuw yoo make Da Bwastews in da sequews.

Luna: Alright, little ones. Time for you to go to sleep. (Levitates little blankets over us.)

Me and Night--Mist: Tanks, Mama.

Luna: You're welcome...

Me: Goodnight, Nighty. (Falls asleep)

Night--Mist: Goodnight, Shad. (Falls asleep as well)
