After losing the Battle of the Bands the Dazzlings retreated to their apartment humiliated, defeated, broken, and disgraced.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" Adagio screamed punching the wall. "Not only did we lose the contest but now were totally powerless."

"Worst of all we can't sing anymore." Sonata whined. balled up against the counter as she thought back on how horrible they sounded when the sang, if you could even call it that.

"This is your fault Adagio." Aria chided.

"My fault?, MY FAULT!?" Adagio exclaimed in absolute rage. "Who was complaining that she was tired of 'Fast food', Aria?"

"YOU said we'd be able to get this entire world to do our bidding. Well look how THAT worked out, no thanks to YOU." Aria countered.

"Well maybe if you had made sure they couldn't get out, like I told you to do-"

"Well maybe I'm tired of you telling me what to do!"

Both girls were now face to face, locked in a stair down until a small growling noise caught there attention.

"What was that?" Aria questioned, all three looked around to find the source of the noise. Moments later they heard it again only louder. Adagio and Aria honed in on Sonata who looked to her midsection.

The noise came for the third time causing the the girl to spring to her feet with a yelp. "Somethings wrong with my belly!"

Before any of them said another word a similar noise came from Aria. Adagios eyes widened and as quick as a flash she put her ear to Aria's midsection.

"Uh Adagio? Haven't you like... heard of personal space?" Aria questioned sarcastically at the surprise action of her associate.

"Shh!" Adagio shushed and after a few seconds of silence the she heard the noise coming from Aria's stomach.

Nearly all color drained from her face as she quickly backed away until her back was at the wall, her legs buckled under her own weight.

Adagio gasped as the same noise came from her stomach as well. The leader of the group began grinding her teeth and pulled at her hair

"Adagio, whats going on?" Sonata questioned in a panic.

"Yeah," Aria added "If you know what's going on-"

"Isn't it obvious!" Adagio cut in. "We're hungry."

"Huh?" The two other band members looked at their leader as though she had been speaking another language.

Adagio let out a groan and face-palmed herself at their stupidity."We've never had to actually eat anything to survive since before we were banished here."

"Is that why you wouldn't let me get any taco's?" Questioned the ditsiest of the three girls.

"I can't believe you'd eat that slop, Sonata." the more level-headed band mate berated

"YOU'RE BOTH MISSING THE POINT!" Adagio snapped. "With our pendants we were immortal, in a way, and now that there gone-"

"We're mortal again." Aria finished as the realization crashed down on her. Her normally bored disposition was replaced with crippling fear.

Sonata looked to Aria then Adagio with a raised eyebrow. "...I don't get it."

"Oh come on!" Aria snarls. "It's so simple a five year old could understand, now that our pendents are destroyed were going to get older and older until we're crotchety old ladies."

Sonata's eyes became impossibly wide at Aria's statement from outside the building a loud scream could be heard.

After calming sonata down they went over what to do next. they couldn't stay now that everyone hated their guts so they decided that their was only one option 'get out of dodge'. They changed into there street clothes and sold their other outfits at the nearest pawn shop. They used the money to buy some burgers at a diner and went straight to bus station.

Aria had just finished off her meal while sonata, who was crying her eyes out, still had half of her burger to eat. Adagio was getting information on the next bus out of town. It didn't matter as to where they were going as long as it was out of Canterlot.

"We're in luck." Adagio announced. "The last bus should be here any minute."

"Where's it heading?" Aria asked

"A town called Cloudsdale."

The bus arrived moments later and the Dazzling's boarded before they knew it they were off.
