Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk chased after Somnambula. At the last second, Sombambula flew upward, and the three sirens, unable to stop, flew into the portal.

They fell into a pit of sewage. The first thing they noticed was the smell, and how they were covered from head to foot in the foul-smelling sludge.

When they tried to fly out, the second thing they noticed was that they couldn't fly.

The third thing they noticed was that they had legs. And instead of hooves, they had hands, like dragons. Looking at each other, they realized they had been turned into something... something they had never seen before.

Adagio was wearing a frilly purple dress, Aria was wearing a dress with a dark purple top and a green miniskirt, with skintight purple and white striped pants underneath, and Sonata was wearing a dress with a pink top and a dark purple skirt, but they couldn't tell the exact colors at the time because they were saturated with sewage.

"Please tell me this stuff isn't what I think it is," said Aria.

"All right, I won't tell you," said Sonata.

They got up and found their way outside. They had been inside some sort of sewage treatment plant. As they walked down the road, they saw more of these strange two-legged creatures that they had become. Some of them reacted in disgust as soon as they smelled them.

"First thing we need to do is get cleaned up," said Adagio. "Then we have to find a way back to Equestria."

They found a store that sold outfits, and walked inside. They saw two staff members and tried to blast them with sound waves, but it didn't work.

"Don't tell me we're powerless here too!" said Aria.

"Maybe not." Adagio rubbed the pendant around her neck. "These look like the source of our power back in Equestria. Maybe we still retain some of our power. Only one way to find out."

They touched their pendants and began singing. Immediately the two staff members began fighting. The sirens quickly wiped their hands off on one of the outfits and each picked out a new one.

Adagio picked an outfit resembling a purple shirt with puffy sleeves, and light purple pants under darker purple shorts.

Aria picked a white tank top, a green vest, and purple jeans.

Sonata picked a dark pink T-shirt and a pink skirt.

As they walked out, they paused to feed on the negative energy of the workers, who were still arguing and hadn't noticed a thing.

Over the years, they got a house of their own, and got more outfits, washing their original outfits. All the while putting people under their spell and feeding off their negative energy, keeping both them and their outfits in perfect shape. While also finding they needed to eat regular food to keep their human bodies alive, and that they also had the same bodily functions as ponies. It took a while for Sonata to adjust to this; she had to change frequently over the first week.

Eventually, the city got a bigger sewage treatment plant. The old one got taken down, and in its place, a high school was built.
