Summer

Today was like any other day, it was the early afternoon about lunch time to be exact, and morning classes were done with. Afternoon classes were cancelled due to a meeting Celestia had to go to. But early release day wasn't all, today was the first day of summer which always meant a few good times in the next three months.

Though Twilight wasn't satisfied with the amount of knowledge she had gotten today and wanted to study but couldn't due to the fact that Barb was around.

And this is how you got into this situation Twilight begging you to take care of Barb for a couple of hours.

"Please Aiden can you take care of Barb for me. I can't study with her around ya know how many questions she asks every time she sees something new." Twilight asked

"I dunno Twi I'm kinda taking care of Venus plus I don't want Barb to mess with Venus."

"Please Aiden I'll pay you back just please take care of Barb." You sighed and looked at the toddler dragoness as she played with a rubber ball hovering one hand over the ball and slamming it down to the ground.

"Fine fine I'll take care of her just go." Twilight smiled and hugged you as she informed Barb who was relatively okay with the situation.

"C'mon squirt let's go." She nodded and held up her arms as if she was asking to be carried, you took the hint and took her into your arms carrying her to your room.

"What's indigo?" Barb asked out of nowhere.

"Indigo? Why do you want to know?"

"Well Twilight gave me a book of colors and she told me to just look at the colors when she's doing her homework or studying, and I saw indigo and it looks like dark blue. What's indigo?" She asked tilting her head to the side

"Well indigo is a shade of blue, but it's mixed with a different color." You explained

"What's that color?"

"I think it's purple, but I'm not completely sure."

"Like my purple scales?"

"No, your color scales are lavender a lighter shade of purple like Twilight's." Barb nodded as she looked at herself.

"What color are you?"

"Well tanned."

"Tanned?" You only nodded

"Your skin does look light brown. Maybe it's because you spend all day outside with your plants." Barb mentions with a giggle.

"You might be right about that squirt I usually spend my free time outside with Venus." Barb frowned as you mentioned Venus. For as long as you could remember Barb didn't like Venus due to the fact that Venus would always try to bite Barb any chance she got.

"If Venus tries to bite you tell me okay. I'll make sure to punish her."

"No beetles?" Barb asked

"No beetles." You replied

"What are we going to do?" Barb asked curiously

"I'm not sure I'll think of something." You continued your way towards your room just as you enter your room Barb stepped in and ran towards your bed.

"Wow your room is super dark how can you study in here? Twilight usually keeps her curtains open."

"Well I usually study at night open my curtains and let the moon and stars light up my room. Sometimes I got to the library, but mostly I just turn on my desk lamp."

"Do you like over sleeping?"

"On weekends yeah, I bought these blackout curtains to keep me tired. Doesn't Twilight let you oversleep?"

"No, she tells me that I have to wake up before lunch and that means waking up at 8 and sometimes 9 in the morning." Barb informs pouting as she crosses her arms.

"Hey maybe you can sleepover in my room, we could sleep until the afternoon and asks some maids to bring us lunch when we wake up. I know how to sweet talk a few maids into giving us lunch." Barb let out a squee of happiness as her snout let out green fire.

"For now I'll give you something to draw on okay." Barb nodded give you a thumbs up.

A few minutes later...

Barb was currently drawing on a piece of paper you given her along with some crayons, her smile was infectious as she seemed to be happy. You smiled at her as you simply sat on a chair looking at her, your eyes slowly started to close from fatigue for the past week or so you've been hanging out with the dazzlings.

Your nights started off sneaking out of the castle through the same vine covered door and to the city's center where you'd meet up with Sonata and Aria. Most of the time it was just those two and very rarely was it only Aria.

But you and Aria became extremely close although your relationship started off rocky you loved seeing her all alone, it was better then having Sonata or Adagio around. Sure you loved hanging out with all three at the same time, but with Aria you felt different as if she was the mare who washed away the problems.

Sure, she was a complete bitch to you during your first few days, but you could see underneath that cold shell was a sweet girl yearning for some attention. You were happy to give her that attention some nights were more intimate then others as sometimes you didn't bother even leaving your room and she'd just arrive on your balcony.

Those were the nights spending all the time in the world learning more and more about the cold siren. She even gave you her belt as she had forgotten it one night, you tried giving it back but she insisted on you keeping it. Of course it was small for you too wear you just kept it in your closet the leather piece of the belt the buckle you kept on your school uniform.

"Aiden. Look what I made!" Barb shouted happily showing you her drawing.

She walked over to you and handed you the piece of paper examining the picture it was of you and Barb a small blue flower grew in between the two of you the sun was colored a mixture of orange and red. The grass beneath the two of you was crudely drawn, but it was cute.

"Do you like it?" Barb asked curiously

"Of course sweetheart, I know where to put it." You walked over to your mirror and slid it into a small crack where it would be held up perfectly.

Picking up Barb and carrying her in your arms you heard two quick knocks on what sounded like glass.

*Knock knock*

You looked around your room and turned towards your balcony setting Barb near your bedroom door you approached the balcony to see Aria standing there her usually impatient look as she pointed towards the knob.

You sighed and opened the door letting Aria in as she walked over to your bed and fell face down on it.

"Aria for Celestia's sake what're you doing here in the afternoon of all hours?!" You said with surprise

"Can't I fall face down on my boyfriend's bed without being questioned?" She asked coldly as per usual.

"That's not the problem, the problem is that the guards are on duty and they'd most likely throw you in jail for getting in here." Aria only sighed and sank herself deeper into your pillows.

"I'll check up on you later." You walked towards your windows and shut the curtains, letting the dark curtains absorb any light that had tried to come in giving Aria at least a sense of night time to her mind.

Walking over to Barb you picked her up and took her out of your room remembering to lock the door so no one would see your moody girlfriend.

"Who was she?" Barb asked curiously

"My girlfriend, but don't tell anyone not even Twilight. She's not suppose to be here do you hear me? No one." Barb nodded and hugged you as you walked downstairs and towards the dining hall with her in hand.

A few minutes later...

Arriving downstairs you placed Barb in a chair as you sat down next to her, a minute went by as a maid came to you asking for your order.

"Again I'm very sorry sir." You chuckled and shook your head.

"It's fine but what's got you so jumpy?"

"Well Princess Celestia has asked the cook staff to prepare a grandiose cake for some odd reason." She responded her finger touching the tip of her chin as if she was thinking.

"Doesn't Celestia usually keep cakes stocked I mean it's a little unusual for her to ask for something she already has."

"Yes, but this cake isn't like the ones she usually gets, it's more of an ice cream."

Ice cream? Isn't that what children would want?" You asked with confusion

"There's ice cream cake! No fair Twilight told that's there only vanilla cake!" Barb said with a pout

"If you'd like we prepared two we had a feeling little Barb would find out about ice cream cake."

"Can I Aiden!?" She asked

"Of course." The maid nodded as she re-entered the Kitchen giving you a little time to think.

Why would Celestia want ice cream cake? She usually gets different kinds of flavors hell most of them contain chocolate. Unless it's a chocolate ice cream cake? Maybe I'm overthinking things." You sighed and shook your head as the maid arrived she had what looked like strawberry ice cream cake.

"Wow this looks good the chefs really outdone themselves." The maid giggled and nodded.

"Celestia wanted to use only the freshest ingredients so the ice cream was hand made."

"But it's strawberry doesn't Celestia like chocolate flavored things?"

"We were honestly surprised, but I guess she wants to eat other things."

"What's your name miss?" You asked

"Hazel Berry." The mare replied looking at her she was a rather short and petite mare, she had a light hazel brown coat with pristine white splotches on her body, her mane color was vanilla white and oddly enough she had a hat on her head it looked as if it was a cherry.

To be completely honest you thought she was a walking dessert she looked cute though.

"Well it was nice meeting you Hazel. I'm Aiden."

"Oh I know a lot about you Aiden, a lot of the older mares told me about you, they say that you always listen to their problems with no complaints." You chuckled and scratched the back of your head before looking at her.

"Hehe y-yeah I suppose so. If it's studying or watching TV I'd rather get to know other ponies it's easier when I wanna talk to anyone actually. So you're a maid in training?"

"Mmhmmm I started a week ago actually I try to help most of time, but I sometimes get in the way so they just make me get small stuff like towels or getting ponies orders when there's anyone in the dining hall. I'm sorta clumsy." You smiled giving her a small boost as her smile was small and cute like her.

"Well welcome to Canterlot castle I'm only a student no one important, but I'll be happy to show you around the castle any time you'd like." Hazel nodded and gave you a little bow.

"Thank you if you need anything just call." You nodded and looked towards Barb who had finished her ice cream cake.

"Uh one more piece of the ice cream cake." You mention as Barb had started licking the plate.

"What?" She asked as she looked up towards you from the clean plate.

A few hours later...

You spent quite a long time with Barb and to be honest it was fun, having your little sisters by your side and messing around with her while you walked around the castle was enjoyable.

Currently you were walking back to your room all the way at the end of a long hall nearby was Twilight's room, you actually entered Twilight's room a few times before, all were just study sessions or play dates when you were a lot younger. And just across the hall from you was Cadence's locked room, it's been over four months since you seen that door open you missed her but right now she was studying abroad, which was a good thing you hoped, but you couldn't worry about her too much she could take care of herself easily.

Entering your room you saw a rather odd, but regular sight. Venus was currently giving Aria a massage due to Venus's sweet smelling oils and soft yet tough tentacle like appendages.

"Ahhhh that feels good little to the left Venie." Venus purred and crawled over Aria's back as she started massaging Aria's left side of her neck.

"Really again? Venus is a pet not your personal massager."

"My personal massager isn't here he's been running around the castle for the past six hours."

"Sorry I had to take care of Barb and I know you wouldn't want to deal with kids."

"Yeah yeah yeah just sit down." Aria ordered you obliged and sat next to her.

"Look I can't stay long I'm gonna find our what Celestia's hiding, I know I should mind my own business but I really need to find out.

"So butting into her business like nothing? I love it that's the side of you I like! Seeing the sneaky little bastard you are underneath that shell of innocence." Aria said excitedly letting Venus jump off of her while Aria rushed towards you and latched onto you.

"Damn I should really try this every once in awhile." You let a chuckle before turning to the door.

"Ya should now come back safe or I'll kill you my self." You rolled your eyes and nodded Aria did the same you walked out of the room and locked it walking towards Celestia's section of the castle.

A few minutes later...

Managing to get to Celestia's section of the castle you looked around the halls to see a large vault near by along with a room in the far side of the hallway where a room sat a lone and rather lonely.

Don't get distracted Aiden. Approaching Celestia's room door you pressed your ear against the door and began to listen.

"Okay dear, you wait here I'll be right back with your present." You felt yourself going tense hearing Celestia's hoofsteps walking toward the door, you looked around the area to hide you ran towards the end of the hall and hid in a tight small shadow.

Why couldn't I've been born with shadow powers?! You complained, you sighed but looked towards the room to see Celestia carrying two plates and walking downstairs.

Making sure she was gone you slowly approached Celestia's room, entering the warm and homely room you spotted her around bed along with her dimly lit fire place. Looking past all of that you spotted a shadowy figure sitting in chair just a few feet away from a window the pony's face was covered.

Just as you got closer and closer to the figure Philomena had appeared in front of you, trying to get your vision of the figure away.

"Philomina? What is wrong? Why are you so upset?" A voice call from one of Celestia's chairs.

"Shit!" You whispered as you quickly ducked underneath a desk. Peeking past the corner of the deal you spotted the figure petting Philomena as she looked extremely relaxed.

"There there, girl, see everything is fine, there is no reason for you to be scare." The figure said in a gentle soothing voice, it was a little deep but not as deep as yours it sounded male. Male for sure.

Before you could think more about the voice you heard hoofsteps approaching from behind.

"Okay Dago, I have your present, close your eyes." You heard the voice of Celestia before seeing her entering the room.

"They are already closed." The voice from the chair said in excitement.

You looked around the area to see that the door was closed, you couldn't do much in terms of sneaking out.

The window! You whispered to yourself.

"Okay I'm going, you better not be cheating." She begins to approach the chair with a small present in her hands.

"Mom please, stop teasing me, why you do this everytime?" Celestia giggled at that.

"Because I can't get enough of that little face of yours each time you scrunch your nose like that." You managed to get to the window and crouched down peering over the window you saw that it was an extremely long fall, but before you could climb out you were noticed.

"Aiden? What in Equestria are you doing in my room?" Celestia asks as she approached you from behind.

"Well I was uh looking for my permanent record?" You say with a chuckle obviously lying.

"On the windowsill?" She asks

"What is going on mom?" The figure asks

Celestia seemed to get worried and extended her wings so you couldn't see past her.

"Nothing sweetie I just saw a bird, Listen I can't explain, but you need to leave, now. Can you call your plants from here?"

"Okay okay I get it." You stands on the windowsill and call a few vines over shortly after a span of thirty seconds vines appeared to the side. Managing to get a good grip you continued your way down towards the ground, you looked up to see another window just a few feet higher and towards the right to Celestia's room.

Maybe it's that weird room near Celestia's room. You said to yourself you sighed and decided not to leave things unchecked and directed your vines up towards the room.

Just as you got to the windowsill you peered over the edge and spotted Celestia talk to the same figure, though this time you had a clear vision on who it was.

He was an odd pony he was both a unicorn and a batpony, aside from the wings he only had a horn but his appearance match that of a Batpony. He differed from them as his coat was a pristine white like Celestia's while his mane was like red wine.

"Best birthday every." He said clearly smiling

"I'm glad you like your present." Celestia mentions with a smile as you spotted a new Pphone in the pony's hands.

"I love it mom, I appreciate it with all my life I loved you mom."

Mom?! Celestia has a son?! You said in your head surprised with the revelation.

"I love you too, sweetheart, goodnight." She mentions

"Goodnight" Celestia left his room and leaves the figure alone.

Climbing up and into the room the figure turned to see you.

"So Celestia has a son huh? Weird she never said anything to me before." You merely mentioned

"W-who are you? Wha-what are you doing on my room? Are you another of mom's surprise?" He says intrigue the moment he saw you.

"No I'm just a student and I've been wondering why Celestia been making the wait staff so jumpy now I know. Celestia was planning a party, but for who I didn't know until now."

"Oh that was me? It was my birthday she, Philomena, and I always celebrated it eating my favorite ice cream cake, I didn't know that I scared the staff of the castle." He said with slight guilt.

"I wouldn't say scare more like Celestia ran them ragged. Seems like she really loves you." You said with a genuine smile.

"She really does, ever since she took me under her wing. Mom has made sure I'm protected and loved." He say with a smile before approaching the window.

"She even let's me play with Philomena." Philomena's eyes opened and stared at you and the figure of course she was scared and flew towards you trying to block your vision.

"Easy girl you don't need to stress over it." You said petting her head.

"Yeah Philomena relax, he looks harmless." The pony took her to her perch as she glares at you while eating some of the seeds you had given her.

"She doesn't seem to like you very much."

"No she loves me it's just the way I acted around Celestia right now you're seeing the 'my master is trying to do something good.' Face." You approached her and touched her head making her purr for attention.

"Master? no, Philomena is way too smart as to call mom that way, she's more like a friend." He then pets her head.

"Look right now I don't care about what Celestia or Philomena say, I'm talking about you right now. You seem to have everything given to you like you're treated like a baby. Have you ever seen beyond Celestia's room?" You asked with curiosity.

"Of course I have." He points at the window. "I have seen it all the time across the garden multiple times." He happily states.

"That's not what I meant, I meant by yourself out in the city."

"Oh that, well no, I don't think I have, but is for the best really, you see I was born with a very weird desease." He approaches his bed and sits on his bed before having a sign in sadness "I make ponies have extremely scary nightmares, nightmares that scar them for life."

"Nightmares huh? Look I'm just saying everyone has a reason to live and for you to be held up isn't good for both your mental health and health in general. How the hell are you going to get a girlfriend, do the deed, do almost anything!"

"ah…I…really haven't thought that far ahead, I thought because of my illness I couldn't go outside, of course having a special one is out of the question too…well all minus mom of course." He had informed

"Oh god this is a lot worse then I thought. Look right now I got other things to do, but you and I are going out I'm going to introduce you to a few friends then we'll see how you go through in the city." You said with a smile patting his shoulder.

"You…you mean like right now?" He looks at the moon. "But it's late, aren't you tired?"

"Hell no! I always sneak out this late Celestia's never the wiser and I have a friend waiting in my room. Right now I'll call my friends they'll wait for us in the Central Park."

"Well…ok, but only because is my birthday." He starts to follow, but Philomena stopped the both of you glaring at you especially. "What is it Philomena? You think I shouldn't go?" He asks

"C'mon Let's go!" You shouted

"Oh ok, let's go Philomena let's have some fun." The pony takes Philomena with him as the two of you go outside his room and towards yours. "I'm Dago by the way, nice to meet you."

"Aiden, look when we go into my room don't let Philomena go she's going to go berserk on Venus and I don't want her to rip off her leafs." You warned.

A few minutes later...

It took longer then expected to get Dago away from his room, he kept stopping every few minutes to wave and say hello to every maid you spotted.

Unlocking your room you saw Aria sleeping on your bed, she seemed relaxed as Venus was next to her. Seeing the door open Venus turned to see you only to hiss at Philomena.

Venus always hated Philomena mostly because you were liked by Philomena and your attention is what she craved. Venus only cared for you and hated when Philomena got closer to you. Philomena does the same, but Dago calms her down by petting her.

"Wow Aiden, your girlfriend is very pretty." Dago says when he sees her, Aria was sexy in her own accord, but of course she hated being called sexy by you.

"Yeah, but don't wake her she'll get really pissy if you do. Venus no. Hiss at Philomena again and no more beetles." Venus growled and snapped her vines before turning away. Philomena smirks and show her tongue at Venus while nuzzle her beak against Dago cheek.

"Aww, I love you too Philomena." He looks back at you. "So what are you searching for if you are not going to wake her up?" He asked curiously.

"Uh turn around seriously I rather you not see this, only way I could wake her up is by doing something you can't see because it's sorta our thing." You said with a chuckle

"Oh ok." He does so and wait outside your room.

Approaching Aria you removed her hairpins and placed them on your bedside table, brushing her long mane you found her straight and colorful mane beautiful enough. You slowly got close to her and kissed her neck making gasp as her eyes open up with surprise.

"A-Aiden what're you doing." You ignored her questioning and continued on making her grab your head trying to make you get closer and closer to her, before you knew it you were full blown making out with Aria.

In actuality you never did anything like this, you'd usually wake her up with Venus's sweet smell, but you felt like trying something new rather then something old.

"What's with you? You're usually not this forward." She says breathing heavily.

"I just needed to wake you up Aria, you were sleeping and I kinda needed you up."

"Are you going to kick me out?" She asks with a feign gasp.

"Nope I just needed you up is all." Aria rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Alright Dago come in!" You shouted from inside.

"Are you done?" He asks poking his head in.

"Yeah get in here."

"Who's he?" Aria asks glaring at Aiden

"Relax why is it every time we meet someone you're mad at me."

"Because you know how I feel about new people butting in our group like you I hated you." Aria informs glaring at you.

Dago's eyes suddenly flash white before looking at her confused. "Ah…why are you lying?"

"What're you talking about?" Aria asks

"You say you hate Aiden, but that is a lying you just told me." Dago had said with a slight chuckle

"A lie? I did hate him when I first met him. I still do I only tolerate him."

His eyes flashed again before looking at her. "No you don't you love him and yeah I'm reading it from your mind, how did you know? Can you read minds too?" He asks excitedly

"L-love him as if!" She says blushing

"Love me huh you really are bi-polar." You mention smiling as she blushes.

S-shut up idiot! I don't love you, I tolerate you!"

"Ah…miss Aria, wow! Hey that is a bit rude…what do you mean, get out of my head?" Dago says listening to her mind without noticing.

"That's it I'm leaving I'll see you later Aiden come by the park Adagio and Sonata are waiting for us there." Without a second thought Aria leaves the room by leaving through the balcony.

Dago look back at him "Was it something I said?"

"Nah that was perfect nobody could make her leave without punching something you got off lucky she would've punch your gut if you were any closer." Philomena screeched just as you said that.

"I…think Philomena wanted to says that she will not let her do it even if she tries."

"Trust me Aria would've gotten through Philomena with ease, anyway we gotta go two of my friends are waiting at a nearby park." You mention walked towards the balcony and conjuring a vine rope.

"Ok, bye Venus." He says to your pet before following you from behind.

"Alright look I'll take care of the vines, you just stand there and tell Philomena to go back Celestia will get suspicious if she isn't there." You informed him as you began to remove the vines one by one.

"Awww but Philomena will get nervous if she goes back with mom without me, would it really be ok?"

"And I'll get grounded if Celestia finds out maybe even kicked out of the school." You say glaring at Dago.

"Well…ok, Philomena I promise I will right back, could you go back to mom, without me?" Philomena nods and flies of from Dago shoulder and back to Celestia's room.

"Good lets go the vines are off and stick close." Dago nods and sticks close to you without missing a beat.

A few minutes later...

Approaching the Central Park you walked up to the small pond nearby the entrance.

Looking to the pond you spotted Aria, Sonata, and Adagio all waiting for you. They all wore summer attire which was just the season for it was summer and these nights were rather warm.

"So what're going to do today? Huh Aiden what?!" Sonata asks as they approach them

"Quit being a spaz Sonata." Aria stated with a glare

"Ah so Aiden has a new partner very well you seem trustworthy." Adagio had said in her calm voice

"Hi, my name is Dago, nice to meet you." He says with a smile

"Nice to meet you! I'm Sonata."

"Welcome I'm Adagio."

"And ya know Aria already." You informed as Aria glares at Dago.

"You know that chant 'you will not read my mind now' doesn't work right?" He looks at her confused "And I'm sorry if I offend you, if ponies had strong thoughts I can't help but hear them, like what you were saying about how much you love Aiden."

"Interesting loving Aiden is rather different from what you described you described it as simply have affection, but seeing this side is so surprising." Adagio informs with a slight giggle

"Oh god was that a secret? Aria I'm so, so sorry, I didn't mean…"

"You didn't realize it was a secret? How dumb are you?!" Aria shouts with a glare

"Hey I'm not dumb, my mom gives me exams once a week and I pass all of them with A's."

"Oh a straight A student like Aiden!" Sonata says clapping her hands

"Oh shut up you idiot."

"Alright you two stop I brought him here so we can do something, now let's just go somewhere don't you agree Adagio." You say with a tired sigh

"Anything to keep these two from fighting." Adagio agreed

"I agree with Sonata, going for some tacos sounds like fun, what do you think Aiden?" Dago asked as he had read Sonata's mind.

"You really like reading ponies minds huh? Fine by me as long as we don't have any fights tonight." You said with a sigh

"I don't do it on purpose, it just happen I have no control over it, really, mom is trying her best to help me overcome it." Dago say looking down in sadness

"Maybe putting on a hat wrapped with foil can stop that." You joked

"Really does that work?"

"Maybe I mean there's a grocery store nearby and a clothing store too. Maybe we should try that. We're gonna have to postpone those tacos Sonata."

"Aw…well m-maybe I could keep quiet, not talk about it makes my head hurt, but I'm just here because its my birthday after that I will go back to my room, let's go for those tacos, don't worry for me I can contain myself." You simply nodded and looked at your friends as the two nodded with Aria only nodding most likely because she felt as if she was forced.

Later...

As you were gone Dago became closer to your friends as they talked about several topics, mainly you and their species.

"So you are actual sirens? I once read a book about one, was it real? did you…or did that siren really exist? Because it has a really sad ending." Dago asked curiously

Adagio giggled making Dago tilt his head.

"Yeah we're sirens you're actually the first pony who noticed after meeting us, Aiden took almost two weeks after we met him to notice." Sonata happily informs

"Sorry, if I offend you, the name kind of appear while we were coming here, in your minds…so, can you actually turn into soap when you die? Or do you really send sailors to their doom with your song?"

"No wonder ponies give us a bad reputation all those are untrue." Adagio giggles as Sonata simply looks at him with a smile

"What about the tail? I didn't see one on Aria, are you…" He slowly starts to kneel to the side trying to see if they actually had a fish tail.

"What are you doing? We don't have tails clearly you can see we're ponies."

"But you are also sirens, oh! Are you wearing a magical disguise, to look like ponies?" He says with some excitement.

"You're actually a lot more exciting to talk then Aiden, he's usually quiet when we're together sometimes he doesn't say a thing."

"Really?" He looks back at you and Aria.

"When I met him, he wasn't exactly shy, kind of hard imagining…wow." Dago blush in embarrassment and looks to the sirens in front of him. "Aiden is thinking…stuff about Aria right now."

"Is he thinking about private things?" Sonata asks

"I thought you didn't want me to tell you." He looks at her a bit confused

"I must admit hearing these private things are rather exciting, please continue." Adagio says smiling.

"Um…o…ok, he…he is thinking about Aria's cheeks and how cute they look when she is mad, his words not mine…although how is an ass cuter when someone is mad?"

"R-really?! Hahaha awww they're the perfect couple!" Dago can't avoid laughing with Sonata

"Yeah maybe, I imagine Aria also talks about Aiden when you're alone right?"

"She keeps that stuff to herself most of the time though sometimes she tells about the perfect dates he's done for her. She even says she can't wait for Hearths Warming Eve."

"Oh I love that time of the year too, mom let's me go into the garden to play in the snow after everyone goes to sleep its almost like stepping into a dream realm."

"Snow huh we found out your favorite time of the year." Sonata says with a singsong voice

"Yeah seeing snow is so relaxing, so pure, so…white, I just love it to get lost in it."

He then looks at the two sirens with a smile. "So what about you? What is your favourite time of the year?"

"Fall." Both sirens say in unison

"Really? Why?"

"The leaves all turn to a beautiful brown, orange, and red. When you're in the city the park's trees all turn into a painting like image." Adagio says with a sigh

"Oh so that is why, I really wouldn't know I never saw the fall season other than through my window."

"Well Aiden usually keeps that garden well maintained it's like his training ground." Adagio informs

"Yeah that is why other than snow green is the only thing I see, is a bit boring when it's all year." He complained

"Seems like you're enjoying yourself Dago. How was he? Was he annoying." You asked with a chuckle as you approached the table.

"Of course not he wasn't shy to talk not like how you were when we first met." Adagio added with a giggle

"Which is still surprising considering how outgoing you were when I meet you."

"I was new to the city and after talking to these girls mostly with Aria I became more outgoing honestly it was most because of these girls, I have a lot of friends in the castle."

"Oh so that's why, hey Aiden now that you're here can you tell me how an ass is cuter? Oh wait…never mind, Aria doesn't like when I read your mind." He said with a chuckle

"Really? You're just gonna say things like that out in public?" You say with annoyance in your voice

"You were staring? You pervert!" Aria asked glaring at you, Sonata snickers as she hears you two argue.

"I did something wrong again did I?" Dago asks Adagio and Sonata

"I think it's best you don't share these secrets out loud." Adagio warns

"Got it , better go back to my original question, you didn't answer now that I think about it." He gets closer to the 3 sirens and whispers to them. "Are you wearing a pony disguise? Or do sirens just look like regular ponies? Oh! and can you breath underwater?" He asks tilting his head

"We are both! We're ponies and can breath underwater!" Sonata admits

"Cool and where is your home town? Do you had stations underwater too? Oh do you had dog fishes and cat fishes as pets, can you talk with fishes?" Dago kept asking them question after question, Aria was annoyed as were you. You knew these mares better then anyone and those question were just ridiculous.

"Alright calm down you're just much of a spaz as Sonata when she found out Aiden wasn't a pony." Aria informed

"He's bald everywhere but not his head I thought he was a different species!" Sonata defended

"Hey that's funny I though the same thing when I saw him for the first time!"

"I'm human sheesh what's so strange about it?" You asked with annoyance

"That I had study the species on Equestria and I never saw one before." Dago comment "Are you by chance an alien?"

"Actually yeah. I don't remember much but I know I'm human at least that's what my mom told when I asked what I was." Dago smiled and nodded along with your friends.

All in all your say with Dago was actually fun.

A few hours later...

You were back in the castle in Dago's room it was a long day and sneaking him back in was slightly difficult, but you managed.

"What a group of lovely ladies, I still can't belived that you are friends with Sirens." Dago had informed

"Yeah they are that sorry for Aria being a bitch I love her, but she can be moody at times."

"Don't worry, I think it was funny when she made those funny faces at me."

"Yeah those were glares not to be laughing at honestly." You say to him scratching the back of your head.

"But she was looking so cute, you're lucky." He smiled as if he was saying thank you.

"Don't ever make fun of her she'll kill you and it can't do much to calm her down." You warned

"Well…you can try kissing her, well I suppose this is goodbye then." He had a slight frown and looked down.

"Yeah I'll get back to you with the hat maybe it'll help your problem." You said with a nod.

"Ok, bye Aiden." Exiting his room you quickly ran out of Celestia's section of the castle and back to the main hallway. Celestia approached you her frown obvious and a lot scarier.

"Aiden there you are where may I ask have you been?" She asks with serious voice.

"With friends? Is that a crime?" You asked defensively

"At this hour? Aiden I..." She sighs before pinching the bridge of her nose "What I'm going to do with you?"

"Let me go out I'm 17 mom I can handle myself." Celestia smiled when she hears the word mom and mumbles.

'If only you were like Dago.' Celestia looks at you with a frown.

"Is this by any chance because of this morning? Aiden we all have the right to privacy, what I do in my private time is my own business. You can't just act like a child and make a scene just because I want to keep things a secret."

"Yeah, but since you never let me out I have to find other things to keep my attention. Twilight is well Twilight. Cadence has gone abroad and Shining is busy with training, not much I have to do around here." You said with a shrug.

"Do you expect me to even believed that? You have a rather large a Television in your room, along with a game system that was bought and paid for by me for all those straight A's and the Daring Do books you have yet to read."

"I'm not that big of fan as Twilight to those books, sure the adventure aspect is good and all, but ya know my conversations with middle aged women always consist of agreeing with the women and they always give me tips on women too." Celestia giggled and nodded.

"C'mon mom I'm a straight A student. Video games and TV can only keep my attention span for about an hour at most. Most of my time is spent listening to housewives gossip." As you informed earlier

"If I let you go out will just stop going into my room uninvited?" She asks

"Like I said I was looking for my permanent record." You said with a lie.

"Which you aren't even going near it young man, what do you think it was in my room anyway? All my records are safely secure at the school where you will never find it." She crossed her arms with annoyance.

"With Venus and my plants I can see everything in the castle. Like where you keep your best cake in, in your closet inside a mini fridge." You said with a smirk making Celestia cringe only for a split second before composing yourself

"And if they don't want to be incinerated they will not tell you a thing." Celestia warns you

"Well if you burn them you're basically scarring me your only son!" You say with a feign gasp.

"Only son? Aiden what are you talking about?" She asks

"Like I said duh I mean you don't have any other child do you?" You asked tilting your head switching the conversation to her. Celestia only looks at you confused before placing her hand on your forehead

"You're starting to act weird Aiden I'll call your mom she will know what is going on with you."

"Why? We're having a conversation about plants right?"

"We were until you were starting to say son in a very unusual way, Aiden what's happening? Are you missing your mom?" She asks with concern

"What?! No! I'm pretty sure I left that mommy phase 5 years ago."

"Then tell me what is going on Aiden? Are you on drugs?" She asks getting worry about your safety.

"Drugs really? Sure I can make drugs with ease, but I'm not stupid to use those." You say with a chuckle

"Then what is wrong? And don't tell me nothing, because I know you are not…wait a minute…is that…lipstick?" She gets closer to your face and cleaned it a bit before gasping. "Aiden…are you…seeing someone?" She ask with excitement and turning the conversation towards you again.

"L-lipstick uh n-no I uh I was-" You stayed quiet and looked down starting to lose the conversation, Celestia squeaks before hugging you.

"Oh you have to tell me, it was a maid? Wasn't it? Is it Hazel Berry? Oh I knew you would've liked the sweet ones, oh how long have you been dating? Please tell me more!"

I'm sorry hazel. You mumbled to yourself.

"Well a few days actually I met her during the maid orientation, I decided to talk to her and things got crazy and we went out in the castle of course."

"Awww so THAT is why you were going out of the castle, Aiden, you should have told me! Of course I will let you 2 date, I might be your mother figure at the time, but I will not interfere in affairs of the heart, specially when it is true love." She said with a happy sigh.

"Hehe yeah of course." You said with a nod.

"Oh and you don't had to worry about anything, like any other mare I hired I made a detailed background check and you two have my complete approval. See? There was nothing to worry about, you know you can tell me anything you wish."

"I thought it would be inappropriate for a maid to date a student after all we might do things that aren't so saintly."

"Oh don't worry she's not a full time maid, she's still training, as a matter of fact she is only older by a year so it won't be inappropriate…now as for those activities…" She sighs "I was afraid this day will come "Aiden when a mare and a stallion love each other very much-" You interrupted her and face palmed.

"I don't need the talk I know what I did I know alright I'm not stupid. I took everything into account even the condom."

"Good because if your mom don't take your manhood if you impregnated her I will" Celestia says remaining calm before walking past you before stopping.

"Now, no more escaped young man, are we clear? If you two just want to have a date just let me know before leaving." You nodded

"Night Dago, I mean night Aiden, I'll see you tomorrow and please don't say mom to me so much, your real mom might start to get jealous." She giggles trying to hide what she had said.

"Sure. Thank you." You turned away and left the area going back to your room.

Author's Notes:

Yes Aiden AKA you are dating Aria and yes you did have sex with her it was implied blah blah blah. Oh and MLP episodes won't appear until a little later so no romance with Fluttershy until a little :(
