AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-hm?
Three 'harmless teenage girls' are about to be three very harmful adult... Ponies? No matter, with the right hapless stooge in their power, they'll sow enough discontent to fill all of Equestria with negative energy, and maybe even get their magic back.
And then, 'Princess' Twilight Sparkle will see who gets the last laugh!

Wow, you're all about these new Blueblood fics aren't you?
Also, Ye-Olde Sirens!
Starswirl punted them forward in time? Then I guess they're gonna freak when they hear about Celestia and Luna (Assuming they weren't around then, given it's Starswirl's time) or see Discord floating about.

I've been busy the last year or so. Long story short, I've opted to just review and publish what I've got ready and write more chapters as per interest in respective stories. Hope you enjoy!
Nervouscited?
All right then, pun time, PegasAria!
UnicorNata.
EarthDagio? PonDagio? Eh, I got nothing.
Daaw, they care!
Oh this is going to be hilarious!
How creative.
Won't be too hard.
Oh boy, I can already imagine the copious amounts of hijincks once they meet Blueblood. Equestria is not ready.
This is actually pretty smart. Except for Prince Blueblood not really having much authority. Reminds me of Celestia's plan in Twilight's Kingdom, smart, except for one variable, but Celestia was desperate, and these three don't know he doesn't hold much power.
They…they think…
Ha. Haha! AHAHAHAHA!
Oh wow. They think Blueblood has actual power. Those poor fools.
I figured the arguing couple were Jet Set and Upper Crust, but I'm okay with them being generics.
Yes, you're very high.
Nice.
That's one way to put it.
Heh.
OK, I know that's a reference to something, but what?
HEH!
It's that dawning moment of comprehension that I LIVE for.
Nah, I blame the Tree of Harmony which is made of the same stuff Twilight's castle is made of I'd imagine, it spawned the Rainbow Box.
HEH.
Very little indeed, you're lucky she isn't a violent pony.
I love how Blueblood here is slightly pompous, but otherwise a fairly nice guy and how he and Celestia know they can more or less relax around each other, and she's right, doing nothing is boring.
It is pretty nice.
Maybe, they are technically cousins.
Capitol =/= capital.
5735917
Darn, knew I'd mess that up somewhere. Thanks for catching it!
5735904
In general, I think it's a reference to ridiculous, useless college perquisites, but in this case, Moonstuck.
Yeesh, and I thought the implications of what Discord did in Return of Harmony was bad.
What?
What?
What?!
WHAT?!
WHAT?!
Eh?
That would actually be a really useful spell.
Oh Medic...
What makes you think that?
Yikes. Blueblood sure knows how to pick 'em, doesn't he?
Pop ups!
I see... And it's et caetera.
More like they WERE. and troUpe. Not trope.
What, oh you think that she, and him, oh my.
Smartass.
Very much your bad.
Each other. 2 words. And this is the beginning of a beautiful hateship.
Sonata Dusk, you are either the STUPIDEST character in all of animation, or the ballsiest.
Hoarse, hah! I get it, I only wish it were mispelled as horse for the sake of the joke.
That or very stupid.
Ballsiest. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pray to the ballsy goddess that in Sonata while laughing myself silly.
MY SIDES!
We all get those.
Well, at least it's over. I'm glad Sonata's having fun with the Princesses, however.
Aria may ending killing someone
Say what? And each other is 2 words, Mr The Wierded.
I love how cunning Adagio is, it's the mark of a good villain, sure there can be dumb brutes like Abomination or Doomsday, but I prefer the more intelligent manipulators. I've noticed, all MLP villains share 3 things in common, they're all very cunning, they all have a Kaiju sized ego, and are all incredibly powerful, albeit with Chrysalis this was only due to the sheer amount of love she'd absorbed from Shining, but still. True, the Sirens weren't all THAT powerful, but close to the end when they went anthro, you could feel that if the Rainbooms hadn't won, things would have been bad. No I'm not counting Sunset.
Correct.
No, comment.
I don't know, let's ask the Changeling Queen who beat Celestia in one on one?
You have no idea.
Moron.
A bad idea'
And doubtlessly hilarious.
HEH!
Wiser move.
It's really not.
Heh.
It's because Pegasus magic works differently to unicorn magic.
Er...
It actually makes a lot of sense that she can understand musical terms.
Have you been reading Dr Seuss recently?
Poor Blueblood has no clue what he's getting into.
Immensely so.
For some reason, I'm suddenly wanting Discord to pop up and totally demolish Adagio's preconceptions about recent events. For now, I'm enjoying the non-chaotic fun.
I don't think they waffle about at all. I find their length rather adequate.
Also, I AM PLEASED AT YOUR PORTRAYAL OF THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT! SHE IS MOST APPROPRIATELY BOISTEROUS!
... So many lulz. My gut bursts.
Telekinesis.
No, she's just dumb.
Of course you all.
No, she's just that stupid.
May Celestia have mercy on your soul.
Clever.
Heh.
Oh Discord is good!
Er...
What can she say? she's got a huge ego.
Of course.
HEH!
A, it was Spike and Cadence, and B, Twilight wasn't a Princess at the time.
Clever girl.
Poor Suri.
You dumbass.
No, she's just that dumb.
MY SIDES!
We'll see.
The fun is strong in this one.
HAH!
Actually, it's what fun is there in making sense.
Smart.
Now they get it.
You're oddly calm, but yes it does.
Smart.
Chrysalis said almost the same thing, and she got beat and you said "Nothing Can Stop Us Now" during Welcome to the Show, and then you got your asses handed to you.
Actually, it was mostly Celestia and Luna.
Fair enough.
Basically, yes.
Hearth's Warming is 2 words. Also, you're happy, that's not good.
Each other is 2 words. Also, yeesh, and I thought the Grinch was bad. No wonder Jerry Peet considers her the best villain.
Err... My head hurts!
Wow, poor girls, the shock of being gone for over 1000 years must really have been a massive shock to them.
I thought she'd be more pissed.
Yep, when she finally explodes, it won't be pretty.
It is weird, huh?
You what?
You won't want to when you realize just what her plan is.
Very true, it's like putting G1 Megatron next to Emperor Palpatine.
I have finally caught up with this story, and what a read it has been. So far I wouldn't exactly call this a romantic comedy, I'm not sure what I would call it, except exciting and dramatic. It actually feels a lot like how Sunset Shimmer would have ensnared Blueblood. Having just read through 8 chapters, I love so many things about this story:
1). Starswirl's spell sending them to only a few months before the events of EqG 1. To me, there is no way the Sirens could be wandering around the world for 1000 years operating as they do without either taking over the world or getting themselves killed. Also, by making them normal mortals in the first place, there's a lot less disturbing fridge logic in the Elements of Harmony smashing their magic in Rainbow Rocks, because otherwise that movie would have ended with three immortals turned into mortals against their will, which is basically a slow execution.
2). Adagio being a competent leader. I do love the Dazzlings as three stooges in comedies, but it's nice to see a version where Adagio not only comes up with decent plans, but makes optimal use of her subordinates' talents and aptitudes.
3). The fact that Blueblood has already dated almost every other female antagonist from the show, with horrible results. It's hilarious, and it raises interesting questions that the only one he hasn't dated is Suri Polomare, who is hanging around Canterlot working odd jobs. It's a shame she didn't get here before Adagio, or she would probably have been his next paramour.
4). Adagio being creepy-nice. I know the other two sirens think it's repression, but I wonder if it may just be some sort of pony neurological predilection for affection towards the other members of her "herd."
5). Boisterous Luna is always awesome to see, as are matchmaking aunts in general.
6). Blueblood is basically the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Since he's noticed that the Elements of Harmony repair existing infrastructure damage in a burst around them whenever they are fired, and that can save the Treasury a lot of bits, I wonder if it will ever occur to him to have Stibbinz dress up in a freaky costume and "kidnap" the Prince and hold him "hostage" in the most dilapidated section of Detrot, forcing the Element Bearers to save the Prince by firing off their weapon, cleaning up the streets and halving the Equestrian Urban Renewal Expenses.
Can't wait to see more, Blueblood in this story is a real enigma. Adagio's description of what Blueblood would look for in an ideal companion does seem pretty spot on, I can't wait to see what he will do to get her attention.

Sorry if the tags are leading to some confusion, but the rom-com elements don't really come in until later. I'm of the mind that romances work best when the pair aren't interested/together pretty much right away, and this might be the slowest-boil for a ship I ever write.
I hope it's at least reasonably funny/interesting, in the mean time!
5745668 I figured it was a slow-boil, and like I said it's still really interesting.
What about a oneshot? I liked the library shenanigans...
5747482
Maybe someday as a bonus chapter, along with similarly time-consuming, but not necessarily plot-relevant silliness.
Yep.
Usually.
That's more likely.
Kind of. Two words.
I see.
I see...
NEEEERRD!
Nothing.
Shocker.
Nice save.
Yep.
Because he has no clue what he's getting himself into.
Yeah, he's been meaning to rant about this.
Discord, yes.
In a sense.
Troll.
Pretty much. Heck, Tirek TRIED to not do so, he tried to blast them into oblivion before they could blast him and Sunset, as bad a villain as she was, nearly blasted the Humane 6 as well. And yeah, you don't stand much of a chance even WITH the Alicorn Amulet.
Morally Flexible, I like that.
He's even got the hamminess down to a T.
Amazing how she's almost childish one moment, then outright villainous the next.
Yes, but it wouldn't have been as funny.
That grin doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
I see...
That Blueblood guy sure has a good taste in mares... not perfect though, as he missed on the second best pony while he had a chance. And no, I'm not talking about DJ-Pon3. Or Sunset Shimmer.
Great to finally get inside this Blueblood's head. You know, before this chapter the whole "everything in the show happened in one year" thing was bugging me, that would mean the events of 91 episodes and two movies happened in 365 days, or an episode per four days on average. But for this story, it works really well, because the hammer blow of monster after monster popping up twice a week has clearly done a number on Blueblood's psyche, and the fact that his fellow ponies seem immune to any kind of PTSD or other form of shock or stress is just making it worse for him.
It seems like there are two Bluebloods at this point, the original one, who is still deep down a gentlecolt who is vulnerable to crocodile tears and prefers to work with "Morally Flexible Individuals," and the new Blueblood, who makes dramatic villain speeches and wants to shock the world.
I like that Adagio and Blueblood haven't really become attracted to each other yet, it's slow going, but they definitely admire each other's cunning and finesse.
I am a little surprised at how afraid Aria is of Adagio these days, especially without her siren magic. I guess to someone you're used to bickering with, having that person appear to visibly repress rage for a long period of time would be quite disturbing.

I'm not sure how much sense FiM's timeline makes either, but the way I understood it, the Summer Sun Celebrations in the pilot and the start of season four (just realized Tirek may have been a few months later) were one after the other, and that EQG 1 and RR were five months apart.
Also, I'm not sure how well it's conveyed, but I usually interpret Adagio as one of those characters that is, for lack of better words, Scary, Beyond All Reason. She might not beat them or anything, but a long-standing sense of threat wreaks havoc on the imagination. Blueblood can kinda relate.
5749528 There was A Summer Sunset celebration at the start of season 4, but it's not necessarily only the next one after the start of the show. Celestia goes on about how she used to dislike it because she missed Luna, yada yada, but these days it's great because Luna is back. At no point, however, does she say this is the first time Luna is with her for the celebration, or anything like that. I have no idea where this idea started, but I have seen it pop up in a lot of places.
Meanwhile, we see Winter Wrap happen in the first season, so presumably the rest of season 1 and all of season 2/3 happens in a ~4 month period? (Or you can say all the episodes of the first 3 seasons are out of order, but to me that has always been a cheap cop out). Besides the incredibly pace of reconstruction if everytime Ponyville gets trashed by a monster in an episode it is just fine a few days later, to me it just seems hard to swallow, for basically the same reasons Blueblood is complaining about: So much shit has gone down, wars and nation-wide monster attacks, that in Ponyville especially, ponies would have gone bonkers by now, with all the stuff they have to deal with in such a rapid succession. I also figure that for many of the episodes where the Mane 6 are pulled into multi-day adventures rather than working on their own jobs and businesses, if they were only getting a day or two of downtime before the next zany adventure off to Appleloosa or Manehatten or whatever, there is no way they could actually do their jobs and support themselves.
But like I said, I can see how the one year time frame plays a critical role in this story, since it adds a lot to the motivation of Blueblood and the stress he's been put under.
An intriguing chapter, and Blueblood does raise some valid points. Of course, the counterpoint is that the Elements of Harmony do tend to deal with the big threats, the Royal Guard and the Princesses are there to deal with the lesser stuff, and the population might've simply gotten accustomed to it. "Cerberus running loose? Must be a Saturday" or something like that.
Also, I've come to be of the theory that the events of the first three seasons take place within the span of nine months (start of summer to roughly early spring), based on two Summer Sun Celebrations and two Applebucking Seasons shown (first of each being in the first season, second in the fourth). EG1 would be somewhere in the roughly three month gap between Seasons Three and Four, while Season Four would take place over the course of one or two months and RR taking place six months (roughly) after the events of the first film. That's just my take, but I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
Yep.
I swear ponies being scheming turns you on.
Only POSSIBLY erotic?
Oh he is GOOD. And Pisces means fish.
You know, sometimes I'm not sure if she's faking being this stupid, or if he IS this stupid.
Cheese is awesome! And I don't just mean the pony.
You can't be f*cking serious. Not sure if he's that dense, or that good.
Indeed.
Heh.
Short bout OF Morally Flexible thinking.
I'm with her.
Nope, he's either that good, or that dumb.
Yes, however, he's more powerful than you ever were, and if he were to get a whiff of your plan, you'd lose as I doubt he'll let you try to talk him out of it.
No, I'm fairly certain she's that dumb.
Yep.
... Yes.
A scary amount.
It is pretty funny.
... Poor Blueblood.
I love Adagio's paranoia/excitement that Blueblood is playing them for fools at the beginning, I'm pretty sure she sees Xanatos Speed Chess as the ultimate form of flirting.
I also like the part about hunger, I feel like this will have pretty big implications down the line. Sounds like being a siren, or for that matter a changling or a windigo, kind of sucks, compared to being a pony. Maybe the merits of remaining Equine need to be considered?
I really like this Blueblood. No mindless abuse of the character, but a schemer surrounded by more powerful figures with a slight bit of jealousy and societal hate. I want to see more of him.
The AgaiBlood ship I support, but if this turns into a herd fic, I won't complain if it is done well.
I never wondered what it would be like if Pinkie Pie had magic.
Pinkie Pie clearly already has the most powerful of magics.
I love how you write the Dazzlings. Just... everything about it.
5752399
I love Sonata calling Celestia a 'freak' in her mind, and liking her mane ala Sweetie-Smarty Pants. And trademarking Princess!
I really love your take on Sonata's ditziness. Also, I want that See-What-I-Mean spell!
Aria's having one of those days, it seems.
I rate that pun 10/10.
Welcome to the Element of Dishonesty!
Also, I love Sonata's projections.
Watch her turn out to be some crazy magical expert.
Aaaand here we have the pegasus who's afraid of heights.
*grabs shirt* MY. LEAD.
Oh my God, is she really going to be one?
That's a mental image I love.
Wonder when the sirens will figure out just how much history they missed...
Probably is.
STEALING THIS!
Sonata forgot to 'be careful'... also, she's not a filly.
Seriously though, her hair is ridiculous!
Getting warmer...
Two words in one.
About that...
What's a 'chang'-ling?
There it is.
Yeah but you still got Discord running amok...
For a moment I thought Aria meant literally explode.
Sneaky handwave.
Oooh dear.
Ouch. So harsh.
Headcanon accepted.
And honestly, what a plot twist that would be.
The 'Someone Else's Problem' effect.
Well, Just Dodge addresses that fairly well; give the Tree of Harmony some credit! Though I suppose Blueblood wouldn't have read it.
DUH DUH DUUUUUH! Looks like we've got a The Villain Wins story! I look forward to it.
Spoken like a true mastermind.
Un-handwave!
Our little Dagi's all grown up!
ARINATA SPOTTED! SET A COURSE FOR THE SHIP!
Uh, Dazzlings, I don't think that's what he means. A thousand years of tech is a lot, after all...
Unless you're a necromancer.
Some people are sincere, Dagi!
Ha!
Interesting thing with the concept that feeding on emotions never 'sates' people. Explains a lot.
I swear, if Blueblood and Aria don't get together by the end of this story I ... uh, nothing really, but they seemed to get along just fine.
