"This is the third time today that my guards have seen you exit the castle." Celestia informed taking your arm as she escorted you back to your room.

"Okay to be fair the other two times those were caught by the maids, they saw me climb over the garden wall. They alerted the guards who thought it was intruders and if it weren't for you, well it would've gone entirely different." You remarked

"Aiden you're sixteen years old. I know you want to celebrate your birthday in style, but I cannot allow you to leave the castle. I made a promise to your mother to keep you safe until you went back to Ponyville in two more years. Plus your birthday isn't until tomorrow." Celestia always followed your mother's rules she may have been the Princess of Equestria, but she needed to keep you from hurting yourself.

"C'mon Princess I've been a good boy for six years, nothing but A's and my only friends are a sentient plant, a bookworm unicorn, and a toddler dragoness that I think she thinks of me as a big brother plus my babysitter/therapist is gone somewhere with her friends." You informed

"Well you still have Barb she needs all the guidance you can provide though it might not be much it's something at the very least." You sighed and looked at Celestia with a deadpan look.

"She's a 6 year old dragoness who talks way too much for my liking."

"She's just very charismatic for her age, you did say she considered you an older brother correct? Well be an older brother to her."

"Look enough about Barb so can I go out tonight yes or no?" You asked

"The answer is no Aiden, your mother gave you specific rules that you have to follow regardless if she's here or not. I have to enforce those rules too. You're too young to be leaving the castle late at night. Why don't you ever talk to the new recruits they're all about your age."

"Princess I don't know if you know this, but most the guards here a stoic hardasses. If I even talk to the recruits your guards yell at me for distracting them, which always leads to Venus or myself getting a little angry and throwing those Flora Temper Tantrums, ya know with the large vines growing out of the ground and trying to hurt them. I'm not making that mistake again." You said with a slight chuckle reminiscing about the times you hurt a few guards due to your unstable flora magic. Which Celestia called temper tantrums, they usually only happen when you're extremely angry or stressed, but due to growing up in the environment you grew up in it was to be expected.

"What about the maids?"

"I get my fill of maids when they talk to me about their available daughters and sometimes they complain about their husbands to the only teenager willing to listen to them vent."

"Well there are a few maids your age Aiden, I'm sure you can make the best of it with them."

"They're maids in training princess I really doubt they'd want to hang out with a human with a knack for floral magic, anyway away from mares what exactly can I do? You're keeping me in the castle because my mom asked yet Twilight is allowed to leave anytime she wants. What gives Celestia are you protective of me or something?" Celestia sighed and looked at you with a slight frown.

"It's not that your mother doesn't trust you or me for that matter, I just feel that Canterlot might be too much of a big city for a child your age. You lived in Ponyville for most of your life and you've grown use to a small town, I feel as if you'll get lost in this large city."

"Princess you're acting like a mom, are you being protective of me because you consider me family or something?" You asked curiously, you must've hit the nail on the head as she nodded and hugged you, your face uncomfortably close to her bosom.

"These past six years you've proven yourself as a brave and strong young colt with a great future ahead of him and I'm sure as you grow up you'll learn more."

"Y-yeah I guess so. Can you let go of me now?" You asked as your voice was muffled through Celestia white gown and breasts.

"Oh I'm sorry Aiden I got a little carried away." Celestia blushed as you simply nodded.

"I'm gonna get some rest I'll see ya tomorrow...mom." Celestia simply smiled and nodded entering your room and shutting the door behind you, you swore you heard a squee of joy come out of Celestia. She seemed to have liked that you considered her someone close to you to even say mom, though you wouldn't blame her. For almost six years she's been teaching you and raising you to be a great magic user. Though the first few months were slightly horrible due to the fact that you were away from your family it was actually Cadence, your baby sitter who managed to get you outta of your shell and out into the world.

You let out a chuckle and walked over to Venus to see her sleeping, grabbing a small pail of water you poured water into the magical soil that kept her clean and smelling nice. It glowed a light blue hue before disappearing and went back to being it's usual black like soil.

"Still healthy as ever." You mumble to yourself, removing your phone from your pocket you saw that you had a missed text. Opening your text log it was from Rarity.

Happy birthday Aiden! I was hoping you'd come back home for your birthday, but I know you're busy with school and all maybe you could visit during Hearth's Warming Eve? I just hope you aren't tiring yourself try not to run yourself ragged!

You let out a soft chuckle and smiled Rarity always sent you birthday letters when you were younger but now that you're a bit older with a phone she instead texts you these special letters, you enjoyed reading them seeing these messages just made you smile.

You decided to call her back seeing as she needed to know that you got her message.

"Aiden! Happy birthday!" Rarity said with excitement in her voice.

"Hey Rares how's my little sis holding up?" You asked curiously

"I'm fine did you get my text? Of course you did it was stupid of me to even think differently, anyway I wish you were in Ponyville we haven't seen each other since you left six years ago!"

"Sorry Rares I just don't have much time to visit, with exams I'm pretty swamped in terms of work."

"Just don't collapse I'd hate for our first visit in years to spend it in the hospital waiting for you to wake up."

"Visit?"

"Yeah tomorrow for your birthday?" She said giggling. "I can't wait to see you, I wonder how much six years could do to you. You better be taking care of yourself."

"I am don't worry little sis I've been eating my fruits and vegetables like usual." You heard Rarity giggle at that she always loved joking around with her, you did too seeing as your sibling jokes weren't really heard that often mostly because of your current situation.

"So is Sweetie Belle behaving herself? Or is she being rambunctious?"

"Oh no Sweetie's fine, there's a fine line between behaving and being annoying so far that line hasn't been broken, though she's been having a few difficulties with school. When I pick her up she's usually quiet and doesn't seem to speak to other fillies or colts." Rarity replies with a sigh

"I wouldn't worry too much Rares maybe she's just misses me? I mean she hasn't seen me in over 6 years it's bound to happen so what about you and your life what's up with it?"

"Well I recently bought a business of my very own, of course with my special talent it was a breeze getting the necessary funds. And it's been amazing my room is just big enough for my work station this is an exciting chapter in my life Aiden, I just wish you were here to see it." You sighed and simply chuckled.

"Wishing huh? Well I'm sorry I can't be there I'll make it up to you next time."

"Okay then I love you Aiden bye!" She quick informed before hanging up. You sighed and looked at your phone before placing the phone back into your pocket.

You walked out of your room and on to the garden balcony you looked towards the bright city of Canterlot.

"I think I can sneak out for a bit Celestia won't know if I don't alert any of the guards." Looking towards the left you spotted many of the vines growing from your left, closing your hand and opening it once more you sprinkled a bit of pollen on the vines making them strong.

Placing your hands on the vines you climbed over the railing and proceeded down the castle and down towards the gardens, as you hands touched the vines small flowers began to bloom from where your hands once gripped.

Managing to climb all the way down towards the garden, you spotted a few guards patrolling the area ducking into a large bush you waited until you didn't hear the hoofsteps or clanging of their armor. Popping your head out of the bush you inspected the area to see that you were safe.

Climb out of the bush you looked towards overgrown vines and foliage covering a steel barred door, it looked as if it hasn't been used in years as the vines and foliage completely covered the area.

"Alright little guys time to get outta the way." A light green hue came from your hand as vines slowly unwrapped themselves from the door and retracted back.

"Thanks once I get past this door cover the door." You merely mentioned walking towards the door as pulled the door open and exiting past the doorway. Closing the door you heard a few vines proceeding to wrap themselves over the handle and steel door.

You finally managed to sneak out and with little time and effort. It was all worth it as you finally got time to spend it in town well more like a large city, but same diff.

"Alright what can a 17 year old do in a city like this?" You asked yourself with a chuckle walking towards the city square.

Walking down the main boulevard you spotted many ponies staring at you with amazement and some with disgust. Though you didn't mind you've been stared at so many times it actually had no effect on you whatsoever.

"Man this city's too fancy I don't think I'll be able to find anything entertaining here." You mumbled to yourself.

As you continued walking through the streets you heard a rather soothing and sweet sounding voice echo you felt rather drawn to it something about that voice made you just walk aimlessly towards it.

The closer you got to the voice the more hypnotizing it became. You shook your head as you stood near a alleyway, just beyond the corner you spotted three mares who looked rather beautiful though part of their faces were covered. The only thing you could spot was their Ruby red necklace.

You decided not to get any closer instead you inspected the three as they sung. Their necklaces glowed a bright red along with what looked like a sickly green air around.

"What the hell is going on?" You asked yourself just then a lot of ponies walked over to the three mares either giving them money or other assortments.

"M-maybe it's best if ignore them for now." You said aloud

"Yeah they look powerful." A feminine voice informed. You let out a small yelp as you fell to your butt.

Looking up and towards your left you spotted a white hair girl that had her short hair brushed over to the left side of her face covering her discolored eyes.

Before you could say a thing the three mares you spotted had walked up towards your location.

"Who are you?" A light purple coated mare asked with annoyance.

"Hey he isn't a pony. What's up with that?" A rather loud and bubbly light blue coated mare asked

"I'm not sure what he is but he was immune to our song I could tell that much." A light yellow coated mare confirmed.

"W-who are you three?" You asked afraid to even stand up. You looked towards your left to see that the mare who spooked you had left.

"Well if we told you we'd have to kill you!"

"R-really?!" You shouted now panicking.

"She's just kidding don't worry we wouldn't kill you." The yellow mare informed giving you hand.

"O-oh u-um okay. So what're your names? I'm Aiden Hart if you're wondering."

"Sonata Dusk!" The blue coated mare happily proclaimed

"Aria Blaze." The purple coated mare simply informed not caring for who you are or anything about the introduction in general.

"Adagio Dazzle. You're an interesting creature you weren't even affected by our song."

"W-well I wouldn't say unaffected I was drawn to it like a moth to light." You rubbed the back of your head letting out a soft chuckle before looking around the alley.

"Awww are you being flirty? That's just cute." Sonata stated as she approached you grabbing your hands.

"N-no! I wasn't being flirty I was just being friendly is all."

"Hey Aiden right? Don't worry about Sonata she's an idiot when it comes to simple speaking." Sonata pouted as she crossed her arms.

"Not in front of Aiden." Adagio warned

The two stopped and stared at you, you cleared your throat trying to cut the awkward silence only for it to be much more awkward than before.

"So what's with the song is it able to hypnotize anyone around you?" You asked curiously trying to get away from the awkward situation.

"You ask a lot of questions." Aria informed with a slight glare.

"Uh s-sorry didn't mean to intrude."

"Oh don't worry about Aria, she's always been a grumpy gus! So before we tell you anything you tell us something about yourself." Sonata was pulled back by Adagio as she inspected you.

"From the looks of it you're a student, you go to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. And before you ask it's obvious with your white school uniform." You let out a soft chuckle and rubbed the back of your head with worry.

"Why are we even talking to him? There's probably some guards nearby trying to find his ass." It was obvious Aria disliked the prospect of even interacting with you, though you wanted to blame her you couldn't.

"Sorry I didn't mean to make you so mad I'll just leave."

"Wait! Don't leave! Don't worry about Aria she's always like that." Sonata seemed the most eager of the three to keep you around though she'd probably just want you around because of boredom.

"Don't worry too much about Aria she's always like that besides Sonata and I enjoy your company." Adagio informed as her hand was placed on your shoulder.

A hint of care was in her voice something you rarely heard in ponies, it was something that you always wanted. Someone who really didn't care about your species and all around care about you and what you stood for.

"Sure so what exactly can we do to night?" Sonata and Adagio looked at each other before grabbing your arms as you had been dragged to wherever in the world they decided to take you.

A few hours later...

"To be completely honest that was the most fun I had in years." You commented to the three girls as they walked alongside you towards the park in Canterlot.

During your time with the three sirens as they told you about themselves it was relatively fun mostly just causing mischief for others and the majority of that time taking turns messing with people. In the outside they make look like teenagers, but inside they were little kids wanting to have fun you helped them with that. Though you noticed something every time they sang their song something bad always happened towards a single pony or if they spotted a large group something bad would happen to them.

You never spoke up about it since you thought it was pure coincidence but to be completely honest you didn't really care what happened to the ponies they messed around with. You felt happy that it happened to them, you didn't know why it made you smile so much, but it did and you didn't care too much to change it.

"You look cute when you smile you should try that much more often Aiden I'm sure more mares would compliment you if you did." Adagio said with a smile as she touched the tip of your chin.

"Really? Then I'll take your advice to heart maybe it'll help my shitty attitude towards ponies."

"You didn't care much when we messed with those guards or innocent ponies, I thought you were a Boy Scout through and through. Now I know you've got your hidden side in you, I may start to like you if you become less and less a stickler for rules." Aria unexpectedly informed you.

"Just you wait honey I could be less of a stickler if you all taught me if there's a next time that is."

"Anytime you want Aiden you're kind of fun to be around."

"Something about you tells me that you're special to keep my eye on you, and I'll do just that of course I would love to see you again." You smiled and nodded before looking at your watch and the sky.

"I gotta go." You turned from the three and ran towards the castle grounds, entering from the viney gardens you managed to climb back into your room with ease jumping in from your balcony side window and shutting the black out curtains you ran towards bed and closed your eyes letting the darkness lull you to the nocturnal haven that is sleep.

Though before you could fully go to sleep you heard to soft giggles coming from outside your room door, reluctantly you rose from bed and walked towards the door. Putting your hand on the knob you pulled it open to see your now 16 year old sister Rarity and your now 8 eight year old little sister, Sweetie Belle.

"Aiden!" Sweetie tackled you to the ground hugging you as she wrapped her arms around your neck.

"Sweetie Rarity I thought you two weren't coming until tomorrow." You said with surprise

"It is tomorrow dummy!" Sweetie said giggling as she didn't want to let go of you.

"Really? Damn I didn't realize." Your sister only giggle acknowledging your cluelessness.

"C'mon mom and dad are waiting in the dining hall." Your two sisters tried to drag you out of your room but you needed time to get ready, all night long you were outside and it was about time you changed.

"Easy there girls let me change first before we go."

"Hurry up then!" The two shouted with annoyance. Letting out a chuckle you began to get ready for a day with your family, hopefully you wouldn't collapse of fatigue.

Author's Notes:

No the sirens were never banished in this story. For now I'll be focusing on teenage Aiden then a few chapters or so we'll move on to the episodes of MLP. We won't go through all the episodes just the very few that are major that can also impact Aiden's life.
