It's been almost a decade since the Battle of the Bands and Sunset Shimmer has been trying to clean up the mess she made. After series of unrelated crimes, Sunset, now known as The Phoenix, may need to finally ask for help.

The Dazzlings have a falling out after losing the Battle of the Bands, resulting in Aria leaving the group to start her own. Alone and unable to sing, she begins to get depressed, until a young boy named Tangent Whisper offers to teach her to sing again. Meanwhile Adagio and Sonata are unaware that Aria is regaining her voice, and are trying to find their own way to become powerful again. A mysterious rock musician notices they're holding auditions for a new third member, and instead uses the opportunity to offer the Dazzlings new pendants, in exchange for their help to obtain an object of interest to the musician. Things take a turn for the weird, and only time will tell if Aria will ever sing again, reconnect with her sisters, and maybe even learn what it means to have friendship.

After their defeat at the hands of the Rainbooms, the Sirens wanted to make a break for it, leave Canterlot, and regroup someplace else.

But with the authorities now onto them, that isn't an option.

Faced with being sent to juvy or worse, an orphanage, the Sirens are given an alternative they don't particularly like:

Being "rehabilitated" by their enemies.

At Principal Celestia's suggestion, the Sirens are separated from one another, and each is sentenced to live with one of the Rainbooms. Adagio is sent to live with Sunset Shimmer. Sonata is sent to live with Pinkie Pie.

Aria is sent to live with Fluttershy. One of these girls is in for a whole lot of trouble.

Rated teen for language, innuendo, and hygiene topics.

Firewatch is known for taking players on a journey and kicking them in the gut when done. I decided to take Firewatch apart and make sense of its controversial ending because I think Firewatch has one of the most powerful endings in modern games. It's almost too real to handle.

Aria Blaze is history's most prolific composer. Writing music constantly for upwards of a thousand years will earn you that title. Now, after a defeat which robbed the three sirens of a magic they've known their entire lives, she relies more than ever on her passion to carry her through an uncertain time. Whatever form fate thrusts upon her, she will never stop making music, and that's all that matters...or it would be, if she could get one roommate to stop pestering her, and the other to stop a downward spiral of self-destruction.

Sunset has a little accident involving her bike and the Dazzlings, some get hurt, some insults are thrown and someone threatens a lawsuit.

Comedy ensues.

Inspired by the incredible work of Justice3442.

Rated "Teen" and tagged with "Sex" because Adagio, and "Profanity" because Aria.

"Adagio say's that we should never, ever, ever, hurt each other, but Adagio doesn't seem to know anything. She doesn't know about the scars on my chest. She doesn't know what Aria and I get up to in the attic these days.

She might know, but is afraid to tell. I think it happened to Adagio too."

This story is a sequel to Sonata's Stare Affair

Adagio Dazzles demands Aria to get a job and one that pays. She applies for a job that gives her some praise. The job is for a bunny, and she will only work short workdays. Best of all, there is a pay raise on days such as her birthdays. But the interview downtown might lead to the last of her days. Can Aria Blaze survive this sudden craze, or will her fate have her set ablaze?

Like "Sonata's Stare Affair," a tale long ago a time, this story also does rhyme. Reading the prequel you don't need, but to further your interest it might feed.

When the Dazzlings have had their pendants destroyed, the trio are downtrodden at how much more difficult life is going to be now that they can't control anyone with their singing. However, a blind young man approaches them and offers a hand to help them. Then, and only then, do they realize something is strangely off about him.

The Dazzlings, with Sonata thrown out, are out for revenge again. They find out about the portal and, noticing they are unicorns, turn into Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Using their voices, they convince everyone to turn against Sweetie Belle, even her friends.
