A shiver rushed over her spine, a tingling sensation ran over her body.

The necklace. She could feel it.

Standing in the cool night air, she let the feeling of its distant power make her blood rush. It was there, the magic of the Siren necklace, but it was weak. Peering over Canterlot, she tried to source where it was coming from.

Adagio Dazzle stood on a hill overlooking the town along with her two sisters. Aria closed her eyes and sighed.

"Do you feel it?" Adagio asked her.

Aria nodded and kept her eyes closed contently.

Sonata smiled happily and jumped up and down. "There's magic! I feel it! It's here!"

Adagio smirked and scanned the place around them. "Yes...And not only is it magic...it's Siren magic."

Aria clucked her tongue. She opened her eyes and sneered. "At last we can get our magic back. All we have to do is find it and take back our powers. I'm tired of living without power."

Adagio nodded. "Yes, I feel the same way."

Aria took a step down the hill. "Lets go find it."

The leader stopped her from continuing.

"Not now, Aria. We'll start first thing tomorrow. It's best we get rested up before we proceed to find the source of Siren magic. Can you feel how weak it is? There's no telling where it could be. And since we no longer have power, our judgment of where it could be may be off. Just wait. Until tomorrow, girls...

"Until tomorrow..."

Adagio turned away and headed down the other side of the hill away from Canterlot. Sonata followed after her gaily and Aria hesitated. She glanced back at the town and squinted.

Its presence was too good to ignore, but Adagio was right.

She licked her lips and turned to follow the two other girls. They will have their power back soon and it will be glorious.

Twilight and Celestia walked downstairs only to find the Main 5 harassing Sunset. Flash just stood to the side watching. To Twilight it seemed that they were getting along now that they knew the whole story. Pinkie Pie bounced around Sunset making kissy faces.

"Aw, you and Twili are a couple!" she gushed.

Sunset looked like she wanted to punch her. "Yeah, yeah..."

Pinkie Pie kept bouncing around as the others teased her.

"I knew so, too! That day in the park I couldn't ignore it. You were looking at Twilight like she was the world to you, darling!" Rarity said.

Sunset sputtered. Of course Rarity would see that! Her eye for detail was unmistakably sharp. "Y-You know, it's pretty late. Don't you guys feel tired? I know I do. Yawn! Ok, get out!"

Sunset shooed them out her front door and locked it. She slumped against the door and noticed Twilight and Celestia watching from the stairs. Sunset paused. From the look of Twilight's content face nothing terrible happened. But she still remained cautious. Celestia wasn't easy to read expression wise.

Twilight skipped down the rest of the steps and hugged Sunset. "It's alright. There's nothing to be tense about."

Sunset sighed and returned the hug still looking at her foster mother.

Celestia slowly stepped down and crossed her arms. "Twilight and I have to return to Equestria for a while. With her absence, the people of Equestria have lost their minds. Once the commotion is settled, we will return and deal with this new circumstance."

Sunset blinked.

"What will I do while you two are gone?"

The ruler tilted her head. "Just stay put. If anything happens, make sure you contact us. I believe you all message one another through the friendship journals?"

Twilight turned and nodded.

The girl with the flaming hair was not at all content with this answer. She was a Siren now. What if something drastic were to happen?

"Would there be...by any chance, a way for me to come with you?"

Celestia hesitated. This was not an expected question. She looked at her and shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but now that you're a Siren, I can't replace your Equestrian gene. If I were to lift the spell I cast upon the portal to allow you entrance to Equestria, you'd come out on the other side as a monster to the eyes of the ponies. It's just too risky."

Sunset nodded slowly.

"When will you two leave?"

"I'm thinking tomorrow morning. The sudden surge of power you caused here set off a Magical Imbalance. This world was never meant to have magic. That is the reason why the portal went sporadic in the first place. Now, since you caused another imbalance, the portal should be open for at least a day because it reversed the effects of the first imbalance..."

Celestia sighed and scratched her head.

"It's confusing to me, this illogical yet logical explanation for things..."

Sunset understood what she meant though, since she was her student before. The portal would be open for some time due to the power surge. As for the whole science behind it opening, lets just say it's like fighting fire with fire.

She looked at the girl who was still in her arms. Twilight looked very relieved about everything. She buried her face into the crook of the older girl's neck.

"I was so worried when I saw it was you in the river. When I dove in and found you all this weird stuff started happening and I got so scared..."

Sunset rested her chin on the girl's head.

"It's ok. I'm fine now."

Celestia cleared her throat and the two of them separated awkwardly.

"No, no. You two were ok. It's just I never imagined this happening. This odd couple of yours," the ruler said.

The two of them glanced at each other. They, too, didn't see either of them being together. Celestia stretched her arms and yawned.

"Well, I need to be back in Equestria before my subjects think I vanished. I'll let them know you're alright, Twilight."

Sunset moved from the door and the woman opened it. The cool night air rushed in and made them shiver. They said their goodbyes and closed the door, leaving just Twilight and Sunset alone in the house.
