I HAVE AN APOLOGY TO MAKE! I'm sorry that I'm disrupting the comments section with nonsense. I've just been in a very bad mood these past few days. I promise to stop annoying you, SilentStrike43, with the garbage. Again, apologies.
EDIT: Many peeps were all disappointed I didn't have this song on here so here.

Sunset frowned as the nurse bandaged her hand. She really hated everything that was going on lately. It seemed like absolute agony without Twilight. She had no idea why things had changed so drastically since she left. Big Macintosh waited in the doorway so he could go back to class when she was done there. Sunset was a handful. He didn't know how Twilight could handle such a fiery girl.
Calmly, Sunset watched the nurse finish bandaging her wound.
The nurse looked up and smiled at her. "You're all better. Did you take your afternoon pill, Sunset Shimmer?"
Right. The medicine. Sunset shook her head and was given a pill. She swallowed it dry and sighed. Having to swallow pills for the rest of your life was not very fun. She got up from the chair and looked at her 'boyfriend' apologetically. He just nodded and tilted his head toward the door. They walked out and were met by three people standing there.
"Long time no see, Sunset Shimmer," Adagio said evilly.
They shocked the both of them so badly that they cried out in surprise. Big Macintosh stumbled back a little as Sunset bumped into him. Their eyes were wide with recognition.
"You!" Sunset gasped.
The Dazzlings! What were they doing there?! She thought they were gone once they ran off the last time she saw them. What could they be here for?? It was just so out of the blue to see the three of them appear before her. Sunset gritted her teeth and stood her ground. Whatever it is they came back for, she was going to fight.
Adagio smirked at her.
"I see you're doing well. Glad to see us, aren't you?"
"Bitch!" was all Sunset could utter.
Adagio looked a little stunned at this.
"Whoa, what happened to you being good? Oh, is it because your friends didn't reform you well enough? That's a shame..."
"You shut the hell up," Sunset grunted and she balled her hands into fists.
Big Macintosh eyed the girls narrowly. This was a fight he didn't want to take part in but if things got out of hand he would step in in due time.
"What're you here for?" the flaming girl growled.
Adagio looked up to the ceiling as if thinking. Tapping her chin she hummed.
"I don't know...magic perhaps? A certain type of power? One that...you have."
Sunset stood back in surprise. How could she know that she had a Siren jewel shard? There wasn't any indication...Her mind clicked to that night she transformed. They more than likely saw the blast of light. She quickly changed her expression back to its guarded look. But it was too late. They had seen her look change from anger to surprise. She had their power.
"You know, the magic seems to be very weak coming from you..." Adagio muttered. She glanced at Sunset's neck. Unfortunately, for her she couldn't see it with the collar hiked up the way it was.
She's hiding the necklace.
Sunset watched her eyes and knew what she was looking for. Adagio and the other two thought she had all the pieces of the necklace. They had no idea that she only had one fragment...
" You want your power back from me," Sunset said flatly.
"Why yes, Ms. Einstein. I thought I just told you that," Adagio mumbled with irritation.
Sunset smirked.
"Well, how would you get it back?"
This question was something neither Big Mac nor the Sirens were expecting. Aria and Sonata exchanged looks of uncertainty and glanced at their leader to see what she'd say. Adagio frowned.
"By removing the necklace, of course. Or, if you want to do it the easy way and remove it yourself..."
"Not happening," she told her.
Adagio's eye twitched. She was getting quite aggravated with Sunset Shimmer. But she did know that it would be a hard game to play.
"Ok, why don't we make a deal? You have two weeks to give us the necklace. If you don't give it to us by the end of the second week, we'll come back and take it by force."
Aria stood there wide eyed and mouth open at this deal she made. What? Why didn't she just take the necklace right now? It would be so much easier!
Sunset tilted her head. It sounded pretty legit. But she knew there were to be some traps involved. Either way she would do it. She needed to get in contact with Celestia and Twilight first before anything happened. Besides, she had them tied around her finger...
"Deal."
Adagio grinned and turned without saying a word. She walked away and the other two followed; one of them happy, the other shocked. They parted ways as though nothing big just happened. It was stunning to Aria what just went on before her eyes. Two weeks? Now Adagio really was stalling!
But Adagio knew what she was doing.
She had tricks up her sleeves and they were certain to get the jewel in due time. The two weeks was just a diversion to make her seem overly generous with her time. Sunset was bound to try to use the power of her jewel and make it stronger. The stronger it got, the better. Sunset wouldn't be able to handle the power. She'd go crazy and her friends would have to take the jewel from her. Then it would be an easy steal to take it back and use the jewel to track down the other jewels.
It was just that simple and none of them would have to do a thing but wait. Power was not something that was very easy to control, especially Siren magic. It was the strongest form of magic next to Alicorn magic. There was no way she could handle it.
But what Adagio didn't know was that Sunset had her own plans. She thought she had the full necklace? Idiot. Sunset would hide the fact that she didn't have all the pieces for that time and when they would come to get it, they would look like fools trying to get something they couldn't. In the meantime, Sunset would plan a way to get rid of them once and for all with Twilight and her mother.
Both of them had tricks up their sleeves.
But neither knew that the game they were playing had different rules than the ones they set.
