Hope you enjoy this chapter.

A brief mature seen in this one.

I am not a song writer so forgive me if I recycle a few songs.

Thanks to Dreagknight for helping with some of the corrections.

In the last few days, the Dazzlings have used Chrysalis power to build a small army of men under their control. Adagio watched on as the stage was being assembled in the center of Canterlot High School courtyard. She kept an eye on each man, giving directions on how she wanted the stage built. Sonata was in charge of her own group of men who were setting up the musical equipment. Some of the wires were being attached to the top and the bottom of the crystal mirror.

“Adagio, why are we having the concert here? There are many other places with more space.” Sonata asked Adagio, who looked back at her with green eyes and insect wing protruding from her back.

“Queen's orders. She wants us to use the mirror to amplify our magic, that way we do not need to touch someone to take control.” Adagio explained grabbing a man walking by and latched onto his neck with her lips.

There was a small glow of magic being sucked away from him as she fed. The man’s face sunk in more showing his cheekbones and then she released him. The man eye’s glowed green as he walked away looking even older now.

“That hit the spot,” Adagio said, looking satisfied and stretched out, letting her wings flap slowly.

Sonata was still trying to fight the urge to feed, but the hunger was starting to get the best of her. She grabbed a young man with glasses, opened her mouth and latched onto his neck. Her insect wings grew bigger from her back, after a few moments she started to regret and released him.

“I’m sorry.” She whimpered as the man walked away and went back to work.

“Get over it,” Adagio said as she started to look around. “By the way, where’s Aria?” She asked.

“I saw her walking into the school with Kevin?” Sonata said, pointing at the open door.

“Oh fuck, I need to go,” Adagio yelled, knowing what Aria is up to. “Keep an eye on things.” She commanded Sonata and stormed off into the school.

“I am so glad we finally got some time alone Kevin,” Aria said, sitting on top of a teacher's empty desk, dressed in her green skirt and striped stockings. She smiled and looked one more time to make sure the classroom was empty. Her calves dangled over the edge of the desk, off the ground.

Her right hand stroked her leg and pulled up her dress. “Do you like what you see?” She asked, looking at him.

Kevin looked at her emotionless with glowing green eyes. Aria was hoping for a reaction, but this may be her only chance.

“Come here big boy and show me what you got.” Aria spread her legs open and motioned him to come forward with her finger. Kevin walked up until his legs bumped into the desk.

“Hold me closer Kevin.” She commanded in a gentle voice and Kevin obeyed, wrapping his arms around her. Aria blushed and reached around his back. Her legs wrapped around his hips, pulling herself closer.

“It’s not fair that Adagio has all the fun.” She said in his ear and started to unbuckle his belt.

Sunset noticed that all her friends were watching as she approached the back of the house, still carrying Apple Bloom on her back. Her hooves clicked to a stop and she looked back to Apple Boom.

“Hope you enjoyed the ride, I am not sure when I will get a chance to do this again.” Sunset said and felt Apple Bloom jump down on the ground and hugged her once more.

“You're the best big sister I have,” She looked at AppleJack and cleared her throat. “I mean next to my real sister, she is still number 1.” Apple Bloom chuckled embarrassingly to herself and ran back to meet up with Scootaloo.

Sunset horn glowed as she removed the saddle on her back and floated it to Applejack. “Thank you, that made carrying your sister easier.” She said and stretched her hooves out.

“Anytime you need it you know where it is.” Applejack held the strap in her hands.

Pinkie ran up to Sunset and wrapped her arms around her large neck, burying her face in the fur. The other girls awed and each took a turn to touch Sunset. Twilight and Applejack stayed behind and smiled, watching Sunset looking a bit uneasy at all this touching

“Maybe I should charge admission.” The unicorn said and they gently backed away, leaving Pinkie who was still clinging on.

Pinkie fought back her tears and quietly talked to Sunset. “You better tell them that you are going back to Equestria, or I will,” She whispered, holding on to Sunset’s neck.

Sunset sighed and sat down on her rear and Pinkie sat next to her. “Hey girls, I need to-” Sunset voice was shaky as she took a deep breath, looking at all her friends. “I need to tell all of you something very important, it about the mirror. The crystal mirror is cracked,” She said, all of her friends letting out a surprised gasp.” And I need to go back before it is too late or I may never see my world again.” She finished speaking, nuzzling Pinkie with closed eyes.

“How long do ya have?” Applejack asked, sitting down on the grass.

“Until the next blue moon.” She pointed at the sky with her front hoof.

“That's next week,” Twilight exclaimed, and removed her cell phone looking up a web page.

The girls looked at each other then back to Sunset who looked depressed, heaving a large sigh.

“I was hoping I could stay until the next cycle, but the mirror won't last that long,“ Sunset said looking back to her friends.

“I can’t believe we are breaking up the Rainbooms!” Rainbow yelled out with her arms crossed in frustration, leaning against the building.

“Well, I have to agree with Rainbow. It won’t be the same without you.” Rarity said in a calm voice.

“Will you come back?” Fluttershy asked, sitting on the grass, hugging Angel with hope in her eyes.

Pinkie looked in Sunset eye’s pleading. “Please Sunset, promise us you will come back?” She asked, holding Sunset muzzle in her hands.

“I will try, that I can promise,” Sunset said, knowing that the chances of coming back may not be possible.

There was silence for a few minutes until Applejack stood up cleaning the grass off her dress. She looked at Sunset and then at her friends. “Well, time is wasting, let’s make the most of it. Anyone up for a good ol’ campfire?”

“Oh me, me!,” Pinkie jumped with her good leg. “I will get the marshmallows,” She said, hugging Sunset one more time and walked back into the building.

“So how long are you going to stay like that?” Rainbow asked looking at Sunset.

“Oh right, I forgot,” Sunset said, stood up. Her body glowed with a flash of magic as she changed back into her human self. She stumbled a little, getting her balance back.

“Aww, I wanted to take some measurements.” Rarity sighed putting her measuring tape away.

Adagio eyes glowed green as she checked classroom after classroom. Most of the building lights were off, but with these new eyes, she was able to see fine.

“Aria! Where are you!?” She yelled out, her voice echoing in the hallway as she kept searching.

It was not long until she started to hear moaning. Adagio clenched her fist as she reached Room 101.

“Oh, you’re so close. Don’t stop Kevin.” Aria moaned out from behind the door.

Adagio kicked the door open and found Kevin with his pants down between Aria legs pounding her hard.

“Cumming! AAAAhhh fuck yeah!” Aria let out a scream as Kevin kept moving like a machine.

“KEVIN! get away from her and put on your pants!” Adagio yelled out, causing Kevin to move away without a word and got dressed. He then stood like a soldier, but his face was full of sweat.

Aria started laughing out, laying on her back and catching her breath, not giving a damn. Adagio was furious and slammed her fist down on the teacher's desk.

“You bitch, after everything, this is what you do behind my back!” Her eyes glowed green, showing her fangs which made her looked more like an animal.

“Why do you care? Kevin was screwing Sunset behind your back as well.” Aria sat up, jumping to the ground and pulled up her panties.

“He is still mine and no one is going to have him, Not you, not Sunset, not anyone!” She lunged forward with her fist ready to strike Aria in the face.

Aria puts up her arm, clenching her fist ready to fight back, her fangs showing just as large as Adagio. Just as they were ready to hit each other, Kevin moved between them and took the hit from Aria’s on his back and Adagio’s to his chest.

Adagio and Aria looked surprised, looking up at the tall man who once provided them a place to call home. His eyes were still glowing, but his expression changed to that of sadness.

“Kevin...” Adagio murmured as she calmed down, looking to Aria.

“After all that, he still is looking out for us,” Aria said, walking past Adagio. “Sorry Adagio,” She whispered walking to the door.

Adagio was still angry, but she went up to Kevin and rubbed his chest where she hit him. “Your mine forever, remember that,” She said, lean her head on his chest.

“Adagio, I don’t want to do this anymore,” Aria said glancing once more at Kevin before she left the room.

Applejack put Apple Bloom and Scootaloo to bed, Sunset, and the others helped clean up the mess left behind from the birthday party. Pinkie helped Granny Smith clean the dishes. Thankfully the clean up seemed to take less time than it did set it up.

Big Mac carried some logs to the fire pit. He insisted that everything is done right and brought a bucket of water and a water hose if needed. Rainbow and Fluttershy brought some lawn chairs out for them to sit on. Pinkie carried a large bag of marshmallows and an old blanket.

When Applejack got back from the house, the fire was already started. The sun was fully set now and the stars were starting to appear in the sky. Crickets chirped as the fire snapped and spit out some embers into the air.

“Does anyone know some good ghost stories?” Rainbow said with an evil smirk on her face.

“Oh please, not tonight.” Fluttershy shivered at the thought.

“I know a few stories from Equestria if you want to hear them?” Sunset said, thinking about her world.

The other girls looked at her with interest, since their history was different than Equestria. So Sunset ended up telling most of the stories that evening. Pinkie listened with interest and laid her head in Sunset lap, looking up at her with a sad smile on her face.

Big Mac was the first to leave since he was a bit uncomfortable being surrounded by girls and watching Pinkie snuggling up to Sunset.

The men just finished their work on the stage and stood in line like soldiers at attention. Sonata first saw Aria walk out of the building and sat by herself in the audience seating. Then Adagio and Kevin walked up to the stage.

“Great, now we can get started.” Sonata said, but Adagio looked at her and shook her head.

“Aria is not going to help us,” Adagio said looking pissed.

“Why the hell not?” Sonata whined, looking at Aria who was sitting with her arms crossed, looking conflicted.

“I don’t care! We will be doing this by ourselves.” Adagio said, walking away with Kevin who looked back at them.

Sonata walked off the stage and down to the row of chairs where Aria was sitting and sat next to her.

“Hey Aria, what is going on?” Sonata asked her friend.

“Why are we doing this again?” Aria asked with a frown on her face.

“So we can go back to Equestria,” Sonata answered, looking up at the mirror in the middle of the stage.

“Do you really want to go back?” Aria asked, looking at Sonata noticing the insect wings.

“Sure, why not. It’s not like we have anything here…” Sonata looked up at Kevin, who was looking at them with glowing eyes and holding an electric guitar in his hand he then looked down at Aria.

“What the hell is Adagio thinking? Kevin, you can’t sing or play that thing.” Aria said, getting up and grabbing the guitar from him.

Sonata smiled and stood up. “So are you coming?” she asked.

“Once the show is over, I am taking Kevin away from here.” Aria touched his arm.

“You know that Adagio won’t allow that,” Sonata said, looking up at Kevin and feeling a twinge of guilt washing over her. “But I won’t stop you from trying.”

Adagio leaned against a speaker, watching them from a distance while chomping down on an apple, thinking.

Rarity walked to her red car and unlocked the doors remotely.

“Are you sure Rarity? I have plenty of room, you can stay the night.” Applejack asked her friend.

“I have to work in the morning, but thank you for the kind offer.” Rarity hugged Applejack and opened the passenger door for Twilight.

Sunset helped Pinkie carry a small suitcase with her things and placed it into the trunk of the car.

“I have to work also tomorrow. Thanks again, I enjoyed the party.” Sunset yawned and waved as she climbed into the back seat.

Rainbow was holding up Fluttershy, keeping her from falling over and waved also. Pinkie hugged Applejack and Rainbow before quickly slipping into the back seat next to Sunset. Spike ran up to the car on all fours and jump into the front seat landing on Twilight lap. Rarity climbed into the driver's seat and closed the doors. She checked her mirrors and adjusted her seatbelt.

“Now everyone make sure you are buckled in. I am not starting the car until you do.” Rarity said, looked in the rear view mirror at Sunset.

“That is sound advice Rarity,” Twilight said, already buckled in.

“Fine.” Sunset grumbled and reached for her belt and clipped it in place.

Pinkie giggled and sat down in the middle snapping her belt in place. Rarity looked once more and smiled as she started the car and put it into drive. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow waved once more as the car drove away.

Sunset glanced over and looked at the property sign, ‘Sweet Apple Acres’ as they drove past it. I hope one day I can come back. She thought and then felt Pinkie’s right hand on her left bare leg rubbing. Pinkie grinned, wiggling her eyebrows being silly, but her hand seemed to indicate something else.

The car moved along the dirt road gently bobbing over the ruts. Pinkie hand slipped upward dangerously close. Sunset kept a straight face and grabbed Pinkie hand, intertwining her fingers with hers. She looked over at Pinkie who was acting like nothing happened and looked out the window. Rarity looked in the rearview mirror and her smile faded.

“So once we get into town, I will drop off Twilight first, then Pinkie, then you Sunset.” Rarity said glancing in the rear view mirror again.

“Ok,” Sunset said, noticing the route they were taking. Why is she going the long way round.

“Hello people of Canterlot, welcome to our first free concert!” Adagio yelled into the microphone, looking down at the small crowd of people.

Someone coughed as the sounds of crickets were heard in the background. There were still lots of empty seats available. A few of them did not look all that impressed. Adagio whispered to the mall cop commanding him to offer free cookies to the crowd.

Aria whispered to Sonata. “Remind Adagio to fire our agent if we survive this.” They looked over to a fat man with glowing green eyes as he was stuffing himself with Oreo cookies.

Adagio signaled to the girls as Sonata sat down behind the drum set, clicking her sticks together.

“1, 2, 3!” Adagio yelled out and strung the guitar as Sonata slammed down on the drums, kicking up a beat.

The song they started was a remix of ‘Welcome to the Show’. Aria sang along with Adagio as she played the base part of the chorus.

Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Feel the wave of sound
As it crashes down
You can't turn away
We'll make you wanna sta-a-a-ay
We will be adored
Tell us that you want us
We won't be ignored
It's time for our reward
Now you need us
Come and heed us
Nothing can stop us now

Without the pressure of competition from the Rainbooms the played, there hearts out. The song continued as their gems started glowing green. The crowd started to pay more attention, thinking that the green glow was a cool special effects. The wires to the mirror started glowing green as the magic was being channeled into it.

A legion of royal guards was watching over the mirror on their side, but not really paying attention to it. A few of the guards used their magic to shuffle cards and play an Equestria version of poker. There was a knock on the large wooden door that was reinforced with steel.

“Who is it?” The guard asked, releasing his cards.

“The 3rd division, we are here to relieve you.” The woman's voice said in a commanding voice.

“You guys are early.” He looked at his fellow guards who nodded, getting up and stretching.

The large door unlocked and creaked open and the small group of guards walked out to greet the 3rd division with smiles. One royal guard with green eyes made a salute to the other.

“Good job boys, we will take over from here.” She said with a fake grin and walked into the room with her small group of guards.

They closed the door behind her and she walked up to the mirror that was covered with a large red drape. Her body glowed green as has changed backed into herself, Queen Chrysalis.

“Remove the cloth.” She commanded and the royal guards around her changed into their true forms.

The two Changelings flapped their wings and flew to the top of the crystal mirror, removing the covering and letting it fall to the ground. Chrysalis looked closer at the mirror, noticing the green glow.

“Oh yes, I can feel it,” She looked closer, noticing the cracks in it and tried to touch the mirror with her black hoof only to be repelled back. “Damn you Star Swirl and your meddling.” Chrysalis cursed under her breath, stepped back to think.

“What is it, my queen?” One of the larger changelings asked her.

“That old bearded fool has placed a barrier on the mirror, but if my helpers on the other side apply enough magical pressure, that barrier will break.” She cracked her neck and aimed her crooked horn at the mirror. “Time to knock on the door and see if it will open.” Her horn started glowing and shot a beam of green magic at it.

The car passenger door closed with a thump and Twilight waved goodbye, carrying Spike with her back to the apartment building. Rarity glanced in the mirror, noticing that Pinkie was sleeping with her head on Sunset shoulder. A few minutes later, she stopped at Pinkie place right on top of Mr. and Mrs. Cook Bakery.

Sunset yawned and woke up Pinkie. “We're here Pinkie, time to go,” She said, opening her door.

“Aww, I was having the nicest dream. Me and you are swimming in a pool full of chocolate milk. Mmmm.” Pinkie grinned as she got out of the car.

Sunset cleared her throat. “That sounds nice, let me carry your bag.” She said and walked Pinkie to her apartment door on the side of the building.

“Thank you Sunset, want to come in? You can stay the night.” Pinkie said, grabbing her hand, looking into her eyes.

“I have to get to work tomorrow, but I will stop over after,” Sunset said, feeling warm and looked both ways. Just as Pinkie was going to ask, Sunset kissed her and caressed her cheek before walking away back to the car.

“I will call you tomorrow,” Pinkie said, smiling and touched her lips before going inside.

Sunset got back into the car, sitting in the front passenger seat, Rarity started the car and drove off without a word.

A few mins later, the car stopped on a random street and Rarity put the car in park, now looking at Sunset seriously.

“I think of you as a friend Sunset, but I have known Pinkie Pie much longer than you. Please take my advice and break up with her, it's for the best.” Rarity said gripping the steering wheel hard.

“What?” Sunset said, blinking her eyes, now fully awake and looked at Rarity.

“You heard me, stop what you are doing with her,” She said looking angry.

“Is it because I am a girl?” Sunset said, rubbing her hands on her legs nervously.

“Of course you're a girl, or should I correctly say lady since you never told us how old you are. Why not go back to that Kevin guy or something?” Rarity said, drumming her fingers.

“You're right, I really don’t know my real birthday, I just go by the day I was adopted,” Sunset said looking at her. “In Equestria males are in short supply, the average birth rates are 4 females to 1 male, so it is not uncommon for females to hook up with other females” She slumped in the passenger seat.

Rarity looked at Sunset and leaned back, relaxing her grip on the steering wheel. “This is not Equestria, I do not want to see Pinkie hurt. Call me traditional or old fashioned, but a relationship between two ladies is frowned upon in most parts of our world.” She said, looking in the rear view mirror and noticing her some of her makeup had started to run as she tried to clean her face of it.

“Pinkie is the one who had kissed me first.” Sunset said which caused Rarity to gasp and drop her purse on the car floor.

“Wa-what are you insinuating.” Rarity reached down and grabbed her purse and looked at her.

“In the park, when I had my eyes closed she kissed me.” Sunset said and looked up through the sunroof, noticing a green ribbon of energy in the sky that looked like northern lights.

“So Pinkie is..." Rarity stopped talking and looked over to Sunset, who looked preoccupied with the sky. She then looked up as well. “Oh, that is pretty.”

“Rarity can you drop me off at Canterlot High School?” Sunset asked looking concerned.
