The Siren Song: Dazzle Dazzle, Little Stars

by Shadowmane PX-41

Chapter 9: Telling Twilight

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Sunset had something bugging her. Even though she was alright with the whole 'Dazzlings giving up their age and memories thing', something in her mind was telling her that Twilight could tell her more on the matter, more specifically about the Pit Of Lyrics, the Second Life Song and why The Dazzlings would even want such a song in the first place.

After almost 2 years with The Dazzlings, Sunset was still unaware why they even needed a Second Life Song in the first place, especially since they were so sure they were going to win the Battle Of The Bands back then.

"Alright, Twilight. Let's see what you have to say on this matter..." She said as she went down to pick up the book with which she could contact Princess Twilight.

She was almost at the stairs when she heard a little whine coming from the Musician's Delight nursery where The Dazzlings lived. She couldn't bear to leave them alone in their time of need, so she went in to comfort them on what the matter was.

She opened the door to the nursery and walked inside and saw Adagio and Sonata looking a little sad. Aria was over by a nearby drawing table, scribbling whatever came to mind.

"Mama, I'm bowed." Sonata said placing her head on one of her hands. "Couwd yoo pway wid us fow a whiwe?"

"Uhh... Sure." Sunset said as she picked Sonata up. Once she did, she was greeted with a tender kiss on her cheek, compliments of Sonata. "You want to do something as well, Adagio?"

"Hehe otay, Mama." Adagio said as she opened her arms to let Sunset pick her up with ease. She still could not get over how fun it was to just be carried by someone, especially her own mother.

"Alright, girls. What do you want to do while I've got you?" Sunset asked the two of them.

"Weww..." Sonata looked curiously on the things to do. She even looked curious as to what Aria was drawing over at that table she was sitting at. Even though everything Sonata saw looked quite inviting, she still couldn't decide.

"Wat do yoo tink we shouwd do, Mr. Fuzzykins?" Adagio said as she held her cherished teddy bear and brought it to her ears in an adorable fashion. "Do some dwawing? Weww, awwight den. Mama, can we dwaw fow a whiwe?" She said as she turned to Sunset after a few seconds of talking to her toy.

"Sure. As long as your sister, Aria doesn't mind, that is." Sunset said as she carefully walked over to the table where Aria was deep into her drawing.

"No pwobwems hewe." She said, not even bothering to turn her head as she concentrated on a very special picture that she had spent the past 5 minutes working on.

"Alright then." Sunset said as she placed Adagio and Sonata on the empty chairs, gave them pieces of paper and the crayons to draw with and then ran her hands through their soft, long hair, causing them to grin happily. "Have fun, you three. I'll be back in a few minutes to see how your pictures are coming along."

"Wait!" Adagio said, grabbing Sunset's attention once more. "Whewe awe yoo going, Mama?"

"I'm going to grab the book so I can talk with Auntie Twilight." Sunset said as she walked over to the door. "I need to ask her a few questions. But I will come back afterwards."

"Otay." Adagio said as Sunset left the room so she could get to work on her picture with Sonata and Aria. The three of them mainly did colourful stick figures once they were left to it.


Sunset made it to the bottom of the stairs, opened the book that could communicate with Equestria and flipped the pages until she found an empty page. Once she found it, she took a pen and wrote down the following words:

Dear Princess Twilight...

I wanted to ask you about a few things involving the Age-Regression of The Dazzlings. I mainly want to know if you've heard of the Pit of Lyrics, as that's where they found the Second Life Song which regressed their age and stripped them of their memories. I also wish to ask why they would even need such a last resort in the first place.

Hoping to talk to you soon.

-Sunset Shimmer

She then closed the book and carried it back up to her room, so she had easy and quick access to The Dazzlings, should they ever need her for something. She placed the book on her bed and waited for a response to come.

She then saw the book vibrate and glow once more, and she opened it to see the response inside.

Dear Sunset Shimmer...

I appreciate you looking deeper into the manner, but unfortunately, I don't exactly have the knowledge you need. I am expecting a new book on Equestrian Geography tomorrow, so I can tell you about it then, but I do know about the Second Life Song. It's a song that removes all the old memories the singer(s) used to have and leave them as foals. It also awakens some of the memories they forgot long ago, so don't be surprised if they start to remember their good old days, namely their old home and anyone they remembered back then.

Feel free to ask me more tomorrow, when I get the new book I've been waiting for.

-Princess Twilight Sparkle

Sunset looked a mixture of upset that she didn't get the information she wanted and accepting that Twilight needed time to find out the details more in-depth. She closed the book and went back to Musician's Delight, to see how The Dazzlings were getting on with their pictures.

"How are things coming, girls?" Sunset asked once she made it back to The Dazzlings, who were all deep in their colouring and drawing.

"We'we awmost done, Mama." Aria said as she picked up a red crayon and a magenta crayon and went to work on another part of her picture. "Ow at weast, I'M awmost done."

"No way, Awia! Yoo can't have dwawn him DAT fast!" Adagio said, trying to deny her sister's claims. "To dwaw him wike dat wouwd take a wongew time den dat!"

"You'we onwy saying dat because yoo got hewe a wittwe watew den me." Aria said, trying to deny Adagio's argument.

"Actuawwy, I tink Adagio's wight." Sonata said, making sure not to offend at least one of her sisters. "It takes an awfuw wong time to dwaw him."

"Awe yoo saying I'm a stupid-head?" Aria said, looking a little steamed that the odds weren't in her favour.

"Aww Sonata's saying is dat-"

"Don't get invowved in a pwivate awguement, Adagio!" Aria said, still a little angry.

"Girls, girls! Calm down!" Sunset said, breaking the fight up before things got ugly. "It doesn't matter how long it takes to draw someone, whether they're thin, fat or just plain weird."

"But Mamaaaaaa! She tinks I'm bad at dwawing!" Aria said, whining in a high-pitched voice that would anyone swoon in how adorable she sounded in this state.

"Aria, no-one's bad at drawing." Sunset said, kneeling down to her height so the two of them could have a little talk. "Even when someone gets called out for bad writing, singing or drawing in this case, you can't let criticisms drag you down. You just have to keep moving forward, no stopping or turning around along the way. By doing that, you can become successful, and that way, no-one will say bad things about you."

"Awe yoo sure about aww dat, Mama?" Aria asked, looking at Sunset with a worried and curious look in her eyes.

"Trust me, Aria. I've seen that case so many times in my life." Sunset delivered a very spirit-lifting hug to Aria, who merely hugged back with a smile on her face. "Just because someone says bad things about your stuff, that doesn't mean you have to be a jerk to them for it. You just have to ignore them and carry on. OK?"

"Otay, Mama." Aria said, breaking free from the hug and returning to her work. "I undewstand wat you'we saying."

"Out of curiosity, what are you drawing?" Sunset decided to ask once she had restored the harmony between the three of them.

"I'm dwawing my big bwothew." Aria said in between scribbles. "He's big, and powewfuw and we used ta pway tagedew aww da time." Then she sighed. "I miss him..."

"I'm sure you'll get reunited with him someday." Sunset said as she placed a hand on her shoulder to show her hope for Aria. "As long as you don't lose hope, you and your brother will see each other again someday."

"Aww... Dat's sweet." Sonata said, looking at how Sunset was giving Aria hope for the future. "Now I weawwy wanna see my bwothew again as weww."

"You too, Sonata?" Sunset said, looking a little surprised at that remark.

"Wooks wike da feewing's mutuaw hewe." Adagio said as she continued to draw her picture. "I have a bwothew too, he was da best ting I couwd have evew hoped fow..."

"We awways pwayed tagedew wid ouw bwothews befowe we got weft behind." Sonata said as she recalled all those long lost memories she had all but forgotten. "Dey wewe vewy kind, vewy pwayfuw and woved aww of us mowe den anyting..."

"Well, they sound like wonderful guys, girls." Sunset said, looking carefully at their progress. "I'd like to meet them myself someday." Sunset then forced a smile as she spoke in her mind. "And by meet, I mean send them to Tartarus for being associated with such monstrous sociopaths!"

"I'll be back once you're done, girls." Sunset said, desperate to ask Twilight about this new information she'd been handed. "If you need me, just call for me."

"Otay, Mama." They all said once Sunset went back to her room to speak with Twilight.

Once Sunset made it into her room, she took the book, opened to the point where she had left off and wrote the following message:

Dear Princess Twilight...

Remember that you said that they'd begin remembering their old memories? Well, you weren't kidding. I was recently informed by The Dazzlings that they have big brothers. If you know anything on this matter, I'd like to hear it. Maybe there are more Sirens than you read about...

-Sunset Shimmer

Then she closed the book up once she finished writing and laid back on her bed waiting for a response to come. It took a good five minutes this time, as Sunset guessed Twilight would have been surprised by seeing that message.

After some time had passed, Sunset was about to walk back to The Dazzlings, when she saw the book vibrate and glow once more. She opened the book and saw the response inside.

Dear Sunset Shimmer...

I'm actually very surprised that they'd remember something as big as that. If what they remember about their brothers is true, I need to do some more research on the Sirens before I can give you a decisive action. You shouldn't be worried about anything once I do tell you my finalized report, but you should gather some more information from their reawakening memories yourself, so we can both tell each other the other side of their brothers' story.

-Princess Twilight Sparkle

"More information, huh?" Sunset said once she finished reading the reply and closed the book up some more. "I suppose I should learn more about their brothers. Knowledge is power, after all."

Sunset closed the book and went back to The Dazzlings, who were just finishing up their pictures of their brothers. She sat down on the padded surface next to them and waited patiently for them to finish up.

After Adagio, Aria and Sonata added the final strokes of colour to their pictures, they could feel a little rumbling coming from their stomachs, they were hungry after all that artwork they had been doing.

"Umm, Mama. I tink we'we hungwy." Sonata said after Sunset got to her feet.

"I know, I could hear it loud and clear." Sunset said as she picked the three of them up and gently carried them downstairs to the kitchen. "You've worked hard on your pictures, and now it's time for your reward."

The Dazzlings merely snuggled into Sunset's clothes as she carried them into the kitchen. Their bliss started to show pretty quickly as their breathing became shallower and shallower. Sunset smiled and placed the three of them into high-chairs so she could go and get things all sorted out.

She opened one of the top cupboards and pulled out some jars of baby food for the three of them. She also reach down to grab some spoons from a drawer underneath that. Once everything was all set up, she took out three bottles of milk and placed them in the microwave for a 5 minute warm-up

"Wakey-wakey, girls." Sunset said, snapping the three infants out of their slumber. "You've gotta wake up so you can eat your nummies..."

"So we can gwow up big and stwong!" Sonata said, chuckling at the end of her little retort.

"That's right, Sonata!" Sunset said, feeding her the first spoon of the delicious mush. "Such a smart little girl I have."

Sunset took equal portions of each of the flavours as she let Aria and Adaigo taste as well. Whilst she still needed information on their brothers, that didn't mean she had to stop caring for each of them.

"Open wide, Aria, the train's making its' last stop at Tasteville. Choo-Choo!" Sunset got Aria to feel happy about this and saw her opening her mouth for her to receive the food she'd been looking forward to. Once the spoon was in, she swallowed the mixture, smiling warmly as the flavours hit her stomach.

"Hehe, tank yoo, Mama." Adagio said once they had all had their last spoonfuls of the delicious mixtures.

"You're welcome, girls." Sunset said as she freed them from the chairs and carried them over to the couch so they had somewhere to be whilst Sunset went back to get the warmed milk for them to have. "I'll be back in a second.

Sunset picked up the three bottles and brought them over to Adagio, Aria and Sonata, who were all quite excited to see their drinks in a clear view.

"Alright then. Adagio, you're first. Climb on up, darling." Sunset said, getting Adagio to crawl onto Sunset's laps so she could be put onto her back. "OK now, open wide..."

Adagio accepted the amber nipple of the bottle and felt a great sensation of comfort as she received the warm, sweet milk that Sunset had made for her. She hadn't been this content in years and feeling the warm, loving embrace of Sunset's love and affection put a smile on her face as she calmly drank from the bottle.

Sunset smiled as she watched over Adagio with a motherly gaze on her eyes. It was with the sight of Adagio's bliss that Sunset could now see that anyone could be reformed for their heinous actions in the past. Once Adagio finished, Sunset gently patted her back to let her belch.

Aria and Sonata giggled after their sister's little burp and calmed down once Adagio had been put back next to the two of them.

"Aria, it's your turn now. Come on over, little one." Sunset motioned for Aria to crawl over to her and she did so easily. Aria still could not help but crack a smile whenever Sunset picked her up and moved her around. It was such a good feeling for the three infant sirens to be carried by a loving figure, it told them that everything was going to be fine and wonderful.

Once Aria was put on her back, she too received an amber nipple and took a little taste of the warm milk. Soon she was immediately drawn to the lovely flavours of the sweet milk and began to suckle on it regularly. She had the same feelings as Adagio had. Bliss, happiness, fearless and loved. Aria closed her eyes in her state of bliss, letting the nature of her lips take its' course.

Once the bottle was drained of its' contents, Aria was burped as well, giggling afterwards. She was then sat next to Adagio and Sonata once more, laughing as she was once more lifted up into the air before landing softly next to her sisters.

"Alright then, Sonata. Now it's your turn." Sunset said, patting her lap to get Sonata to take up the position. "There we go, nice and comfy." Sunset said as she positioned the third and final siren infant onto her back, smiling warmly as she looked up at her.

Sonata could feel a massive surge of long and forgotten memories once she sampled the delicious white fluids. She hadn't had this much love and affection for years on end and as such, she was grateful that Sunset was her mother, to watch over her and protect her from all the dangers of reality.

Sonata was burped once she had finished drinking her fill and the three Dazzlings were carried back up to the nursery, so they could show Sunset their pictures.

"Mama, tank yoo so much fow feeding us." Adagio smiled as they made it to the top of the stairs once more. "I hope yoo nevew stop woving us..." She yawned a little as the warm embrace of Sunset's love, mixed in with the delicious and nostalgic flavours of their food had combined in their stomachs.

"You're welcome, Adagio." Sunset said once they made it back into the Musician's Delight. "I promise you, that I'll never leave you, even when times seem bleak."

"Fow weawsies?" Sonata asked once she was put onto the floor to get a little playtime on before her regularly scheduled afternoon nap.

"For realsies, Sonata." Sunset smiled once she put all three of them back onto the padded floor of the nursery. They immediately crawled back to the drawing table to pick up their pictures and show them to Sunset.

"Weww, wat do yoo tink, Mama?" Adagio said as she showed her picture first, letting Aria and Sonata wait patiently to take their turns.

"Umm, who is this, Adagio?" Sunset said as she looked at Adagio's picture of her playing with someone who looked oddly similar...

"My big bwothew, Fowtissimo." Adagio smiled as she looked at the picture herself and giggled when she looked at her brother. "He's so fwiendwy and fun. I bet he misses me as much as I miss him..."

"Wait... Fortissimo is Adagio's brother?!" Sunset said as the realization had finally hit her. The picture was very crude, but Adagio had confirmed it. That was Fortissimo Blast, the leader of The Blasters. "Well... That's wonderful, Adagio." Sunset faked a smile.

"Yoo shouwd see my pictuwe!" Sonata giggled as she held it up, showing her playing with Orchestral Chill, another of The Blasters. "Hehe, my big bwothew Owchestwaw woves me and I wove him!"

"Dat's not aww." Aria held up her picture and by this point, Sunset had already guessed what it was. Aria and Allegro Maelstrom, looking like the best of friends. "Whiwe we do wike ow bwothews, we aww stiww wove yoo, Mama."

The three of them hugged Sunset's legs and she was left completely and utterly stunned by all the facts she had taken in. The Blasters, three seemingly harmless music sensations were actually Sirens, and if that wasn't enough, they happened to be the brothers of The Dazzlings.

"Umm... Mama? Awe yoo otay?" Aria said as she suddenly noticed Sunset had completely frozen up in surprise.

"Uh, yeah... Sure." Sunset said, snapping out of her trance so she could attend to The Dazzlings once more. "I think you need a little nap now, girls."

"Aww, weawwy?" Sonata looked a little upset about that, she'd only just got up here and now Sunset was going to put her to sleep for a few minutes.

"I know it's a shame, but all babies such as yourselves need mandated naps every now and again, otherwise you'll get a little cranky. And that would make you sad, now wouldn't it?"

"Weww..." Aria said, still unable to contemplate the fact that had to sleep before bedtime as well as bedtime. "Otay den." She said, choosing not to go against Sunset's words.

Sunset picked the three of them up, dropping their pictures as they were lifted up in Sunset's arms, giggling as they were carried over to their crib and laid down in it for their nap. They put their arms and legs together as their backs reunited with the crib's soft duvet.

"Night-Night, Mama." Aria said as she saw Sunset grabbing the blanket and placing it over their tiny bodies, causing them to unwind and lower their limbs.

"We'ww see yoo soon, Mama." Sonata smiled as she felt another warm embrace when she was tucked in for the slumber ahead of her.

"I hope dis wasts fowevew..." Adagio thought as Sunset leaned over to kiss the three of them. The senses of bliss and happiness sparked up once more once Sunset laid her kissing lips on their foreheads and gave them a nice, tender, loving kiss.

"Goodnight, Mama. We wove yoo." They all said after Sunset had kissed them and were about to drift off into dreamland once more.

"I love you too, girls..." Sunset said, singing the lullaby once more, so they could sleep well for the time being. They had been through a lot over the past year and 10 months and now they just needed to sleep their worries away.

Once the song had been completed, Sunset could hear the three of them snoring and cooing in their sleep, a sign to prove they were out cold for their nap. Once she could validate this, she went back to her room to tell Twilight about what she had just been told.

Dear Princess Twilight...

I've recently acquired some big news about The Dazzlings' brothers that I think you should know. Meet me at the portal tomorrow, so we can talk...

-Sunset Shimmer

She finished writing and then closed the book, waiting for a response to come. Once it did, she could feel the book vibrating in her hand and she immediately opened it to the page Twilight had written on.

Dear Sunset Shimmer...

I've also been doing some digging on the possibility of more Sirens, and I don't think you'll be happy with the results. I'll be there tomorrow, until then, you need to make sure you raise your kids perfectly.

Talk to you tomorrow...

-Princess Twliight Sparkle
