//------------------------------// // Up a Greek Without a Paddle // Story: My Sister, My Sister and Me // by ArtieStroke //------------------------------// "Goddess above, I can barely translate this one," Adagio mumbled, scrolling through the answers list. "Eugh- you know what? I'm just gonna read it as written. Maybe this will teach some of you cretins the meaning of good spelling and grammar. This is what your writing sounds like- this is how stupid you sound." Aria groaned, "Just read the damn thing already!" "Fine! Ahem-" HI Dazzlers, Dark Feather here. "DAZZLERS?!" Sonata cried. -While doing a report on ancient mythology I came across the sirens from ancient Grease, but ther- thur? thar? thar. THAR discription is not what I heard you look like in ful siren form. Was there a missconseption or a desseption? Earth natives? Senserly Dark Feather. Adagio stuck out her tongue and gagged, "Please! I'm not even a native speaker and I spell your language better than you!" Sonata elbowed Adagio in the side, frowning, "Meanie. Anyways- yeah, that was us." "Mmm-hmm." "Oh, one-hundred percent us," Adagio nodded, "We TOTALLY had much more of our magic early on in our banishment- your ancient monkey ancestors were SO much easier to trick and eat." "Yeah just-" Aria started snorting, holding back laughter, "Just gobbled them right up- pfff HAA!" All three sirens burst out into laughter, slapping the table and doubling over to their own desires. "HA! GODS no that wasn't us! You people have had your own mythology for FAR longer than we've lived here!" Adagio wiped away a tear, regaining her composure, "Though, were those old sirens inspired by Equestrian sirens? Maybe. That old goat Starswirl was a fan of dumping his problems in other dimensions and meddling. So who knows?" "You know," Sonata started, "I think this leads pretty good into this next Woohoo~." Aria scrunched up her face in disgust, "Never- NEVER! Say 'woohoo' with an implied tilde EVER again." Sonata stuck out her tongue, "I'll say it however I want! Anyways- this one was sent in by Level 9000 Woodrew- I mean Woohoo-" Sonata immediately broke down, laughing. "Oh- could you imagine? He's just- so good at Woohoo answers they rename the site after him?" Aria and Adagio chuckled as Sonata got the giggles out of her system, Adagio shaking her head. "Jeeze- no, that's dumb. That's a dumb idea, Sonata." "It's SUPER dumb and I'm totally stealing it and starting a petition," Aria said, grinning as Adagio lightly smacked her in the arm. "Aria I will fucking eat you, don't test me!" Sonata cleared her throat, "ANWYAYS- Level 9000 Woo-DREW Answers user Quill Davenport, thank you Quill. This is by- Krazyfan1 again." Sonata frowned, humming. "Sheesh, this is like the umpteenth Woohoo Answer we've seen by this guy," Aria said. "I guess they're just really curious about stuff!," Sonata said, before turning back to the screen," Anyways, Krazyfan1 asks: what would you consider the best parts of being able to breath underwater? i mean, diving for sunken treasures, floating around, being relatively safe from non water breathing foes, that sort of thing?" Adagio immediately snorted in laughter, "Oh my GODS- SAFE? In the OCEAN?" Her snorts quickly turned into cackles, as she leaned back into her chair it started threatening to tip over. And, with a small scream, it did. Aria immediately pointed and laughed as Sonata scooched her microphone away from the noise. "I liked the quiet of it. Like- right before you ambush some unwary guppy for a meal. Never saw us coming- REALLY good for hunting!" Adagio grumbled, staring daggers at Aria as she righted her chair, "Well- you're not wrong. Though I think I most enjoyed how relaxing it was- both being at the top of the food chain and just being able to... just float for a while, not caring about anything." "The comfort of the current against your scales?" Sonata chimed in, earning a nod from Adagio. "Yeah. It was... Do you ever miss it?" Silence hung over the sirens for a moment, each of them taking a bit of introspection. Aria frowned. "Man, this question turned into a real bummer." Sonata nodded, "Yeah- new rule? No more bummers." "I'll agree to that."
