Chrissy was sitting in the dark forest and began to sing to herself which made her necklace glow slightly.
"Chrissy?" LJ called out. "You here? I just wanna talk, is all, and I came by myself."
Chrissy was still singing as some sort of fog came around her. Three young adult women soon appeared, coming out to see Chrissy with rather evil looking smiles, though they seemed happy around her.
LJ was walking until he saw them from a bush. "What the...?" he whispered.
Chrissy soon stood up in front of the women.
"I see you're still working on your training." The first woman spoke.
"But of course I am," Chrissy said. "I'm a superstar when it comes to singing. I might even be better than that Black Canary lady in the Justice League or whatever she used to do before retirement with a lot of other superheroes."
LJ blinked in confusion. "Who are these people...?" he pondered.
"Someone's here." One of the women gasped.
"We better hide." The first woman said.
"Ooh, maybe they have tacos?" One of the women smiled innocently.
Just then, LJ fell out of the bushes, face first.
"LJ!" Chrissy gasped.
The three women soon stood over LJ and seemed to hiss at him, quite venomously.
"Wait!" LJ yelped. "Please don't hurt me! I'm her friend, I swear!"
The women glared from him and soon looked back at Chrissy.
"He is..." Chrissy sighed to them. "He's my friend."
The women soon backed off away from LJ.
"Chrissy...what's going on?" LJ asked. "Who are these women?"
"I... I... I'm sorry, LJ..." Chrissy said. "There's a lot that you and the others don't know about me."
"Well...I promise I won't tell them until you think they're ready." LJ replied.
"I knew I could count on you," Chrissy told him before looking to the adult women. "We can trust him. He would never lie to me."
LJ nodded. "You have my word." he replied.
The women looked to each other before looking back.
"Okay... LJ... These are my guardians..." Chrissy told them. "They said I was born under a certain Element known as Music, so they trusted me, and blessed me with some of their powers. They are the Sirens: Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze."
"Oh...well, it's nice to meet you three." LJ replied.
"Quite..." Adagio replied to him before glancing at him. "You seem familiar somehow..."
"How so?" LJ asked.
"I can't place it... I just know I've seen you, or at least someone like you before." Adagio said.
"They gave me this necklace," Chrissy told LJ, showing her necklace. "Also a bit of youth serum so I could stay young a bit longer, especially after the first time I met you."
"Oh..." LJ replied. "Well...you haven't given me a reason not to trust you before."
"I'm sorry... It was supposed to be a secret..." Chrissy frowned. "That's also why you haven't met my parents."
"Oh..." LJ replied.
"I'm sorry, LJ..." Chrissy said. "I hope this doesn't change anything between us."
"Of course not," LJ replied. "I still think you're awesome."
"Aw... Thanks..." Chrissy smiled to him before hugging him. "So, um, these are my guardians: The Dazzlings."
The three women nodded their heads to them.
"And... I guess I'm one of them." Chrissy then said.
"I guess it makes sense," LJ smiled. "You sure managed to dazzle ME when we first met."
Chrissy smiled back, a bit bashfully from that.
"And besides, I still love and trust you." LJ explained.
Chrissy smiled as she was still loved by him before she sniffled, feeling touched. "You still love me?"
"Well, of course I do!" LJ replied.
"Well... Thank you..." Chrissy smiled, blushing a bit. "I really like you too... I love you, LJ."
"That's great to hear." LJ replied as he kissed her.
"Ooh... So sweet..." Sonata commented.
Aria rolled her eyes.
Adagio seemed rather indifferent to the situation.
"Sorry for keeping it a secret," Chrissy said. "Just remember not to tell anyone else."
"You have my word." LJ saluted.
"Good boy," Chrissy smiled. "I was sure I could trust you, but I didn't wanna say anything in case the Dazzlings wouldn't like it."
"Especially if Star Swirl the Bearded would happen to be around." Aria grumbled.
"What, you mean that wizard guy my mom and dad mentioned?" asked LJ.
The Dazzlings gave Lionel a look.
"You know Star Swirl?" Chrissy asked Lionel.
"Well, my parents do," LJ replied. "Lionel Schwartz, Sr and Cherry Butler."
"That's where I know you from!" Adagio soon realized. "Sonata, Aria, this is the son of the girl who got rid of us in Canterlot High School with her friends and their Rainbooms band!"
"So you DID know about my mom!" LJ exclaimed.
"She could've been one of us, but she chose those Rainbooms after us," Adagio sneered. "Such a shame... She has a lovely voice when she's all alone."
LJ glared. "Hey, don't go messing with my mom! There's nothing you get from being alone except isolation and regret. But my dad met her and they got together, and they made ME!"
"This doesn't look too good." Chrissy said.
"Christine, you are forbidden from seeing this boy ever again!" Adagio demanded.
"No!" Chrissy frowned.
"Wait...I'm sorry!" LJ explained, getting onto his knees. "Please don't do this. I've never begged anyone for anything before...but I am now. Please..."
"I'm sorry, but I can't trust you anymore," Adagio glared. "Get out!"
"Adagio, don't make him leave." Chrissy frowned.
"I promise. My parents don't even know Chrissy is related to you three, I swear," LJ replied, tears coming from his eyes. "I love her...I love her so much. For all my mom knows, you three have basically just vanished."
Adagio and Aria both glared while Sonata looked sad for Chrissy and LJ's future.
"Wait a minute," Sonata stated. "Maybe...we should give him at least a chance. I mean, he didn't do anything except be born."
"A chance?!" Aria hissed.
"Just a little chance, huh?" Sonata smiled innocently. "He can't be all bad if Chrissy trusts him and likes him, even if he is Cherry's kid."
"Please...?" Chrissy begged.
"Plus, we either give him a chance, or we exile him and Chrissy gets mad at us, runs away from home and we lose the only other family we've ever known." Sonata replied.
"Hmm..." Adagio paused in thought. "...Fine. LJ gets one chance since he means so much to you, Chrissy, but if he slips up, then he better stay out of my way, or I'll sing him out of submission!"
LJ nodded. "I promise not to tell anyone about you, but you three should at least try to keep out of trouble, alright?" he asked them. "I know you're good people, and I just don't wanna see Chrissy without any family to care for her."
Adagio soon looked between Sonata and Aria.
"We do cause a bit of trouble now and then..." Sonata smiled sheepishly.
"You're not helping our case!" Aria rolled her eyes.
"Just...try to keep yourselves out of trouble...if not for your own sakes, then at least for hers." LJ replied.
"Fair enough." Adagio said to him.
"Thank you." LJ replied.
"We're gonna be watching you, so you better watch yourself." Aria warned LJ.
"How can he do both?" Sonata asked out of confusion.
"Hey, my lips are sealed...so long as you three stay on the straight and narrow," LJ advised. "Far as anyone else knows, this chat never happened."
"Sounds good to me." Aria smirked slightly.
"Alright then, it's a done deal," LJ replied as he shook hands with each of them. "C'mon, Chrissy. The bus is about to leave for home."
"I'll catch you guys later?" Chrissy said to the Dazzlings.
"We're always around whenever you need us," Adagio told Chrissy. "You know what to do."
Chrissy nodded and soon left with LJ.
"Well...your aunts are a bit strange, but nice." LJ replied.
"It's complicated," Chrissy said. "I'm sorry Adagio got angry with you just because you happened to be the son of one of her enemies, but you couldn't have known that."
"Yeah," LJ replied. "I just got so mad that they actually tried making my mom be lonely forever just so they could force her to join them."
"I'm really sorry about that." Chrissy said softly.
"Hey, I'm not gonna blame you for something your aunts did." LJ replied.
"That means a lot," Chrissy said. "It's sad whenever people do that sometimes."
"Yup." LJ replied as they rejoined their group on the bus.
"You guys make out in the forest or something?" Mandy asked them.
"What's it to ya?" LJ retorted.
Mandy rolled her eyes to that before sitting back down. LJ and Chrissy sat down as the bus drove off. Chrissy held onto her necklace as she stared out the window.
"So..." LJ replied. "I'm just happy that I get to see you."
"Yeah..." Chrissy smiled bashfully. "You're one of the nicest and best boys I've ever met in my time."
"Aw, thanks." LJ smiled at her.
Chrissy and LJ smiled back to each other.
Vicky looked to the crown she was given from Velma and began to think about joining the group to have some real friends rather than a bunch of spiders which just came and went in her life. Dib and Nergal Jr looked to her and smiled at her, along with Kimberly, LJ, Zofia, Chrissy, Akito, and Estelle. Vicky looked back before giving a very small, but still, slightly visible smile. And the bus continued driving back to their neighborhood.
"Home sweet home," Zofia sighed. "Well, that was quite an eventful adventure."
"Yep." LJ agreed.
"You wanna go back to school after this?" Estelle asked her brother.
"I think I like Royal Prep better." Akito replied.
LJ glanced at them. "I might consider asking you guys to help us enroll in that."
"Um... Well... We visit Enchancia on occasion, so maybe next time we vacation there, you could come too?" Estelle suggested.
"Hmm... Alright." LJ nodded.
"We'll see," Estelle smiled. "I don't see anything wrong with it."
"Me neither." Akito added.
"Awesome!" LJ fist-pumped.
Akito gave a small smirk as that made him think of when he taught James how to fist-bump.
"I'm sure Felicity would love to come too," Estelle told the Schwartz siblings. "She had a lot of fun whenever she came along with us."
"Really? Sweet!" LJ and Zofia whooped.
The Fudo twins smiled to the Schwartz siblings.
"I'm sure Cedric would like to see you too if you're interested in magic." Akito then said.
"That could be cool!" Zofia replied.
"I see she's a fan of magic." Estelle smiled.
"I really am..." Zofia smiled back, a bit bashfully.
"Sounds like an adventure!" LJ added.
Zofia giggled to herself.
"We'll talk with Mom and Dad when we get home," Estelle smiled. "I still have my own amulet."
"Awesome!" LJ exclaimed.
The bus soon dropped them off and they all went home, luckily not having any homework, mostly due to the spider attacks. All in all, it was a pretty good day.
"Enchancia?" Cherry asked as she washed the dishes as the kids came home. "That's a name I haven't heard in a while."
"Yeah, it's pretty wild." LJ replied.
"Akito and Estelle told you about it, didn't they?" Cherry smirked.
"How did you know?" Zofia asked.
"All mothers are mind-readers." Cherry smirked.
LJ gulped nervously. "Uh-oh..."
Cherry giggled slightly to that. "You're safe though."
LJ gave a sigh of relief. "Phew."
"Well, it's all right with me," Cherry said as she continued wash the dishes. "We'll have to schedule a time to go though."
"Works for us." The two replied.
"Good kids," Cherry smiled. "If you don't have any homework, maybe you'd like to watch cartoons until dinner."
"Sounds like fun." LJ replied.
Cherry smiled as she continued to wash up. Zofia soon jumped on the couch, taking the remote first. LJ climbed up after her.
"Hmm... Anything good on?" Zofia asked before checking the channels to look for something to watch.
"Might as well channel surf until we find something." LJ replied as David crawled towards them and tried to climb up.
Zofia looked down and soon helped him up to sit with them. David made himself comfy on the couch.
"Cozy on the big comfy couch." Zofia smiled to her little brother as she kept channel surfing.
"No more Late, Late Show reruns!" Cherry's voice called out to her daughter.
"Okay, Mom!" LJ replied.
"Aww..." Zofia pouted. "But Mother!"
"No!" Cherry cried out.
"Fair... Nuff..." David managed to say.
"Aww... How adorable." Zofia smiled before she soon put on the Looney Tunes show.
David sat down and watched intently before he began lightly gnawing on Zofia's arm. It didn't hurt, but it just felt weird.
"I guess you're hungry." Zofia said to her baby brother.
David just shrugged at her. "Kay..."
Zofia smiled to him while watching cartoons with him and LJ.
The End, I guess.
"That's all, folks!" Zofia beamed before looking to Lionel. "How was that?"
"I think it was pretty good," Lionel replied. "Nice job, kiddos!"
"Thanks!" LJ beamed.
"Yeah, thanks!" Zofia beamed.
"Good one," Cherry added with two thumb's up. "Aaaayyy~..."
"Henry Winkler would be so proud of you." Lionel smirked at his wife.
David nodded in agreement.
"Heh... Thanks," Cherry smirked back. "I didn't watch Happy Days much, but I had to."
"Didn't you get in a cartoon with the Fonz with that friend of yours, Cathleen?" Zofia asked.
"...Maybe..." Cherry said, mysteriously. "Girl loves her Hanna-Barbera."
"That was... Trippy," Lionel replied. "Like that Laverne and Shirley one. RIP, Penny Marshall."
Cherry gave a small, soft sigh from the passing.
"We'll never forget her." Lionel replied as he hugged her.
"Even if she was in a very mediocre season 1 Simpsons episode." Cherry replied.
"It was the pilot," Lionel replied. "So it wasn't a masterpiece, big whoop."
"Uh, anyway, bye!" Cherry then said since this story was over.
The group all waved.
