Another week had past for the students at Canterlot High, for them it was just same old, same old. But for Sunset's friends, they were going onto another hang out with Toxigo. This time, they were invited over to his house for a sleepover for Friday evening, so all of them were finally going to be able to see his new home. The group that was walking over for a sleepover this time around was Pinkie, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. All of them have brought their sleeping bags and gear and were either walking or driving their way to Tox's. As they saw the front lawn and outer exterior look of it they could see a few things. The outside of it looked like a Japanese styled house with arches going out on the corner ends, and it was swamp-ish looking as there was one pathway walking over to the door and it was surrounded by water with some plants sticking out and a few lily pads floating. Along with those, there were small trees with pink flowers blooming from them that were on opposites sides of the bog water.

"Oh my goodness, I love the nature. Its breathtaking." Fluttershy said with happiness.

"Not bad. Very nice." Applejack responded after.

"Are we going stay and watch his bog grow or are we going inside?" Rainbow complained.

The group then walked on the cobblestone pathway over to the door and knocked. "Who is it?" came from AU Adagio.

"Um, its us. Is that AU Adagio, or the real Adagio?" Applejack asked.

"Oh wait, I forgot. Tox said you girls would be coming over." AU Adagio responded. Adagio then opened up the door for them and let them come inside. Soon the five girls were going "Ooh" and "Ah" at some of the things that were inside his home. The saw some posters for pegasi flyers called the Wonderbolts, a few plants, and old and unusual objects that they could only assume were relics or mementos. While they were looking around they also saw a few bookshelves built into the walls with such a huge amount of books that even Twilight would constantly harass Tox just to see what he had. As they moved their way over to the living room where Toxigo was hanging out they also saw a few bathrooms, a very large kitchen, and what they could guess was an office room but it was closed and locked. So they entered into the living room where the rest of the AU Dazzlings and Toxigo were.

"Hey girls, glad you could make it." Tox said with a smile. Everyone then proceeded to find a seat on any area of furniture and while they began their conversation they also looked at some of the things he had inside of his house. They caught sight of many old items that Tox explained were old items he brought over from Equestria, some DVDs on shelves, and some more random items. Eventually the group started watching TV and eating snacks and continued to learn more about him.

"So wait, you tried to make an online video series giving info on where you're from, but people took it as a joke?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes.  It started out just as me attempting to get help to say I'm from another world, but as others saw it, they just assumed it was a comedy show. People never took it seriously. But then again I'm a human trying to tell someone I'm from a world filled with magical flying horses. Who's the crazy one now." Tox replied.

Everyone gave a nod, but Fluttershy could see Rarity's attention wasn't on their conversation. "Toxigo darling, I apologize for staring, but what is that around your neck?" Rarity asked politely.

"Oh this? This is a relic from Equestria. Its called the Alicorn Amulet. Whoever is in possession of it and uses its power can become, well, extremely powerful. I found this thing buried in the Everfree Forest in Equestria. Heh. Its kind of funny really."

"What's so funny?" AU Sonata asked.

"It kind of looks like the last thing my mother gave me before we were separated. She said to use this if I'm ever attacked by the changeling queen. Its almost if...." Toxigo's face then dropped to total shock, he suddenly remembered what had happened. "Oh my god, I remember why it was out there. I couldn't handle using it against the queen so I had someone keep it as a display in their shop. I should never have gotten rid of that thing, Celestia knows how much damage this thing could have done!"

"You didn't know Sugarcube. Its not your fault."

"Yes it is Applejack. This thing is dangerous, if anyone tries to use this thing it will corrupt them. And I don't know why, but for some reason it hasn't corrupted me when I used it. But as for how its not corrupting me, like it has for everyone before me... I...I know why."

"Well, what is it?"

Tox stayed silent after hearing that question. He knew exactly why he wasn't corrupted. But he couldn't tell them why, telling them would cause them to freak out, and constantly ask questions as to why he didn't do this, or why did you do that. He just simply cover his face in his hands while his elbows rested on his lap in frustration. "I know why, but I can't tell you. And I'm sorry, but... I just can't."

"Well that's okay, you don't have to. You shouldn't be forced to do so." Fluttershy responded.

"Absolutely darling."

"Yep!"

"Nothing to worry about."

"Thanks girls. I appreciate it." Tox finished. Soon the night continued on as the group continued with more games. Soon it came to them playing Twister, some action video games, and watching comedies like Spaceballs, Goonies, and so forth. Eventually everyone went to sleep and drifted off into their dreams through the night. But all that went onto Toxigo's mind was knowing the entire situation now. Sunset knows that he's from Equestria, he's had a run in with the Shadowbolts twice now in the 2 weeks he's tried to avoid them, and he almost let all of Equestria be endangered by leaving behind the Alicorn Amulet. But for now, it was safe being around his neck. And if anyone tried to take it from him, they couldn't because his hearing was incredibly strong, so no force could make a jump on him. For now, he'd just go back to sleep.

The next morning, Tox and AU Adagio were up making breakfast while some of Tox's favorite tunes were playing from an iPod mounted on a radio. Everyone was still asleep, but they knew eventually the smell of sizzling bacon and steaming pancakes would wake them up. For now, they were in the middle of an argument.

"No, absolutely not."

"Come on, its not a bad thing!" AU Adagio yelled

"I don't care, when you have guests over you need to wear pants! You can't go walking around the house in just a hoodie and underwear. I can see your butt for crying out loud and that's not an image I want during breakfast. Can you just please, go put on pants or pajama bottoms?"

"Ugh.. Fine." AU Adagio then walked upstairs to go put on a pair of pants while Tox continued to make breakfast for everyone. The first one to wake up was Rarity who's hair was in a frizzy mess, and she was wearing a pink fuzzy robe. "Morning Rare." Tox said with a smile.

"Morning Tox." Rarity replied groggily.

"You sleep well?"

"Yes I did in fact. Those mattresses were very comfortable."

"That's good. Pancakes?"

"Sure, thank you."

Rarity then sat on a stool chair sitting at the concrete counter top that was on the left of the stove where Tox was cooking. The next song then came onto the radio which was Come On, Lets Go by Richie Valens. And soon Tox was singing to the song and dancing a bit. Rarity then noticed his enjoyment of the old 50s tune.

"You really seem to like the 50s styled music don't you darling?"

"Yes I do Rarity. When I came into this world and after looking at some of their music I fell in love with the old style of music from the 50s to the 80s. I don't really care for this modern age of music with the dubstep and the rappers and such. I just find those obnoxious."

"Understandable." A little bit of silence was filled until Tox spoke up again.

"Oh by the way I didn't say this before but congrats to you girls at the Friendship Games. You were amazing."

"Oh thank you darling. I didn't even know you were rooting for us."

"I rooted for you girls when I was watching the games. That was back when I was suffering in Crystal Prep Academy. None of them saw it but I rooted for Canterlot all the way simply because they care about each other, they can wear whatever they want, they're not uptight about winning, there's less restrictions, and because of all of the strange magic that's been happening, you all know there is more to life than winning."

"Aw well thank you for your support. You are quite the gentleman darling." Then Rarity's phone vibrated and she took it out and read a message extremely quickly. "Oh no."

"What, what is it?"

"Principal Celestia wants to see us soon. I don't know why, but apparently its something to do with Cinch."

"Ergh... Not the Shadowbolts... Do I have to go?"

"Well I could use a friend to be by my side."

Tox paused for a moment to think. He really didn't want to go see his enemies again, but at the same time, he had friends with him, so he made an exception. "Okay. I'll go. But can we at least wake up everyone so we don't leave them by themselves in my house? I don't feel comfortable leaving them on their own."

"Of course Tox."

So the group of now 8, after picking up Twilight and Sunset, headed over to the high school to go see Principal Celestia. They walked through the empty hallways, and entered into Principal Celestia's office where she was waiting for them.

"You said you wanted to see us, Principal Celestia?" Twilight asked.

"Yes I did. I apologize for calling you all up during the weekend but this was urgent news that couldn't be ignored. It seems our old friends from Crystal Prep want to "settle scores" with you. They've challenged us to a redo of the same challenges in the second match of the Friendship Games."

"Wait, can she really do that? I don't think she can do that."

"I would normally say no, but it seems they've managed to capture evidence of your magic existence and are using it to blackmail us."

"How so?"

"Some of their students caught you setting yourself on fire and using what I assume is energy powers to create a shield around yourself."

Tox's faced dropped after hearing that. Right now, he was in utter worry and fear.

"But I zapped all of their phones! They shouldn't have gotten evidence!"

"They got the evidence when you were alone and unguarded." Celestia replied.

"Oh... crud. *gulp* So, what happens if we say no?"

"They said they would report the information to higher authority exposing the magic at our school, and probably finding out about the world that you and Sunset Shimmer live in."

Tox and Sunset both gulped after thinking that in their head. Not only would it be bad for people like the FBI or the President to find out about the magical existence, but they could possibly try to take down every living being in Equestria. Tox then sighed in frustration and said...

"What do they want us to do?"

"They only want to challenge us to a rematch. So that would mean having you girls compete once again. And they want both schools to be there when it happens."

"Great. Just my luck. My chance to get away from them has been brought back to having to face them again."

Everyone looked at each other with concern. They couldn't let magic be exposed, but they also knew that they couldn't let Crystal Prep try to get rid of them from the face of the earth, so there was only one thing to do. Go through the competition like before.
