that actually sounds kinda cool
CUTLASS!!!Why sacrifice concept? Nothing wrong if with two scimitar wielders in a game. I've never seen any such complications with longswords or composite longbows.
If it's just the weapon, ask if your GM allows you to reskin equipment, and describe your scimitar as some other melee weapon, like a "one handed falchion" or a "sabre".
What a mean thing to do to a lass!!!

The fate of her sorceror character would indicate otherwise(conspiracy fanboys - it's time to yell it's a gimmick to have her play the dervish char ;) )
That aside, the friendship dance of death sound nice.
Play your magus out, and don't go out of your way just because someone else wants to dervish dance as well. If the DM is good, he'll play this through, if he's not ... at least you'll know he's not :)
He's fine, but she can be a pain. I didn't want to deal with her whining because my fancy swordfighting is better than her fancy swordfighting.
