*Don't play music until cue
"Oh, okay. Umm, I'll go to........The ceremonies.", Sophie finally decided.
"Yay! Girl time!", Glimmer and Ari exclaimed.
"Ok, so Sophie, Glimmer and Ari, come up with something to do for your distraction. Ruy, Gethen, and Alvar, follow me, I will give you the details you need.", Gisela finalized.
"Come on guys, we have a party to crash!", Ari announced.
The girls went to their room to start planning. When they arrived, they sat on Sophie's bed and starting brainstorming ideas.
"What if we do some kind of performance?", Glimmer suggested.
"Oh yeah! Like sing a song or something. That's a great idea!", Sophie responded.
"Ooh, I have a good one.", Ari said.
They discussed and perfected their plan. Once they knew what they were doing, they started practicing. Finally, when the time came, they were ready.
They arrived at the ceremonies, dressed up nice. Sophie was in disguise, like she told the Black Swan she would be. Everything was going according to plan.
"You ready for this?", Glimmer asked them through their earpieces.
"Yeah, you?", Sophie questioned.
"Yup, let's do it.", She replied.
They put their cloaks on like Gisela had asked them to, so they wouldn't reveal their identities. When they were ready, Ari hit a button on a remote that Ruy had set up for them, creating a force field around all of Foxfire. Some elves noticed and started gasping, looking around. Then, Sophie, Ari, and Glimmer jumped onto the stage and began to sing to the music.

When the song was over, the girls yelled out, "Long live the Neverseen! May the Black Swan perish in weakness!", then Sophie lifted up a leaping crystal to their base, and they glittered away.
Five minutes after their big show, the force field disappeared. The council tried to calm the frantic elves, but they didn't have much luck. Most of them left, back to their respectful homes. The Black Swan members scattered around the area regrouped to go over everything they had seen or found.
"Alright, does anyone have any information for us?", Mr. Forkle asked the group. Everyone looked around at each other, waiting to see if anyone was going to say anything. Finally, Tam spoke up, "Where's Sophie?". Again, everyone looked around, noticing for the first time that their fearless Moonlark was indeed missing.
"I don't know. The last I saw her was at the beginning of the ceremonies. Then we split up.", Biana responded.
"Do you think the Neverseen took her? Maybe that's why they did that weird little performance? So they could distract us from what was really going on?", Fitz suggested.
Everyone started nodding along, agreeing that it was possible. "I think we should wait back at Havenfield to see if she shows up. We don't need to cause chaos looking for her right now. If she's not back by 8:00 A.M. tomorrow, then we can make a plan. But for right now, let's just wait and see.", Granite said, giving fairly good reasons to back himself up. They all looked at each other, and reluctantly agreed.
When they got back to Havenfield, they stepped inside and saw three cloaked Neverseen figures coming down the stairs, talking to each other. When they noticed everyone else, two of them pulled out melders, while the other pulled out a crystal to their base. "Where's Sophie?", Dex demanded.
"None of your business. She's in a better place now, so stay away from her!", Gethen yelled, unable to control his anger.
"Wait, are you saying she joined the Neverseen?", Linh asked timidly, scared of their answer.
"Ha, no way. Sophie is pathetic, she could never be part of something like that.", Alvar snapped back, before Gethen let anything slip. He felt bad because, that of course wasn't true, but he knew he had to keep up the act.
"Then where is she? Is she even okay?", Marella retorted.
"Like we said, it's none of your business where she is and what she's doing. Just know, you're never getting her back.", Ruy replied, done with the conversation. Just like that, they disappeared, but not before someone grabbed onto Alvar's arm.
