//------------------------------// // Adagio Dazzle // Story: Ponyville confessions // by Lunaexcelsior //------------------------------// So I’m sitting there, tending bar, when in comes a creature I wasn’t expecting to see, Adagio Dazzle. Now Adagio was a siren, exiled to the human world, but, since Celestia added that reformation law, she was welcomed back to Equestria. However, she was still in her human form, which took me by surprise. So she sits down and I notice how depressed she looked. She just sat there, circling her fingers on the table. “Oi, Ms. Dazzle”, I said to her, “What will you have?” “I don’t suppose you have a beer here, do you?” she asked me. “One beer coming right up”, I replied and poured in her drink. As I handed her the glass, she yanked it my hands. “Oh that feels soooo good”, Adagio said in pleasure as she filled her mouth with the liquid. I watched her in surprise. “Umm, Ms. Daze”, I said to her, “Not to be rude, but why are you acting like this?” “I apologize”, she said, “It’s just that I have been stuck in that cursed human world for so long that I have become rather attached to it”, she said and then looked at me suspiciously, “Hey, how come you have beer, when no other place does?” “Oh”, I said to her, “My bar holds a monopoly trade with our human counterpart”. “I see”, she said with a wide grin, “Eliminating the competition before it even arises. Clever boy”. I blushed slightly. “Thank you”, I said and coughed, “So how are you adapting?” “Horribly”, she said, “Since Celestia gave me that miserable teaching job I have been just getting headaches. Not to mention I have a team of a bumbling idiot and a confronting nuisance”, she said, “I mean I tried to form a plan with those two to overthrow Celestia, but Sonata actually likes her job at the Taco stand and Aria just keep knocking all of my brilliant plans down. So I am stuck with my dead end job”, she said. “Well it can’t be all that bad”, I said. “Have you tried teaching a pony to play the piano?”, she asked, “It’s a freaking joke! Their hooves are just not meant to play those tiny keys”, she said and gulped down her beer. “Well, can’t you teach them singing? You were pretty good with that”, I said. “Unfortunately”, she said with a depressed look on her face, “My beautiful voice has been ruined thanks to that stupid princess f your”. “Celestia?” I asked. “No not her”, she shook her head. “Luna?” I asked. “No not Luna”, she shook her head again, slowly growing more agitated. “Cadence?” I asked. “NO!” she yelled “I am talking about Twilight you buffoon!” “Ohh”, I said as she sat down and rubbed her templates, “Well there must be something you can do”. “Actually”, she said with a sly grin, “I have been writing songs here and there and giving them to some of Ponyville’s biggest singers with my own little message in them”. “Like what?” I asked. “You’ll see”, she said with a sly smile and paid for the drink. I have no idea what she meant by that, but I have heard a song ‘Oi, Gada Neris’, that she wrote. I think the chorus goes something like this: “Oi, Gada neris, Goddess who will never perish, Rise up to your throne And you will be adored once more” It’s really catchy and I do hope that she gets more of her hits published. They really have an enchanting ring to them. You see a lot of weird things as a bartender. You see a lot of weird things at the Hay Palace. So, I see a lot of weird things as a bartender at the Hay Palace. And that’s no lie. Swear on me mum.
