After getting caught and captured at the end of the Battle of the Bands, the Dazzlings Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were dragged back to Equestria to face judgment for their crimes. Luckily for them, Princess Twilight believes in the corrective power of Community Service.
Unluckily for Princess Twilight, she believes in the corrective power of Community Service.
On the plus side, at least Applejack will get a new hoof to help out around the farm.

Amazing! Let’s drink to that!

Cheers
At least Applejack's and Sonata's drunken singing is better than what my singing would be
Oooh
What do y'do with a drunken siren?
What do y'do with a drunken siren?
What do y'do with a drunken siren early in the moooor-ning?

Turn her into a silly pony!

Turn her into a silly pony!
Early in the moooor-ning!
I wonder how the Apple family scrumpy compares to Nanny Ogg Scumble.
I mean, both are made of apples... mostly apples.
I could see the sirens complaining about the new pony body and how it's so much better as a sirens. At least as immortal human they could indulge in as many vice as they wanted. I mean after a 1000 year of being in a body, you get used to some things.
Sonata is sooo gonna miss Tacos. With meat.
I do love the idea of good, old-fashioned Apple family bootlegging.
In any case, delightful stuff, though I've always preferred making Aria the earth pony and Sonata the pegasus. Still, wouldn't work nearly as well for this story. Thank you for a wonderful shot of fun.
That was adorable! Glad it was in the featured section.

"No magic jewel, no airbreathing. We had gills for a reason. Call me crazy, but I like breathing..."
I'd suspect both scrumpy and scumble would blind you just by the fumes.

See, that's why it works! It's atypical of how they normally go! SUBVERTED EXPECTATIONS!!!

Wait, it's what!?

Didn't know about the pirate movie, but I did know about the alcohol. Nice.

Thank you!

"Here's to alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems!"
Ah, the Dreadnoughts. Such a classic, 10/10, great story.
I always do. Only problem, what I see as responsible doesn't fit well with most ponies.
Now I have to an get a ber, I can feel it, there is already to much blood in my alcohol.

"Sonata is sooo gonna miss Tacos. With meat."
In a world where at least some of the intelligent sapients belong to species that are obligate carnivores (see, Capper), I'm sure there are ways and means of getting ahold of meat, and a family of bootleggers should have some connections...
10904129
Ah but can she even eat it while being a pony?
Sonata: "Ah crud, it's vegie tacos from now on isn't it? It's just not the same."
10904135
I believe that Ponies (at least those in our world) can eat small amounts of meat with no distressing side effects, and a Taco doesn't usually contain a great deal of meat. But debating the digestive capabilities of fictional magical ponies in the absence of show or comic book canon is a somewhat futile enterprise.

True, so it does make me want to write something about—
No! Bad Ninja! Write Trixie! More Trixie!

Don't force yourself. If you want to write about something go for it. One shots are nice too.
Ok. This really needs to be more than a one shot.
Wonderfully silly! Great work!
A good short story.
Lightweights.
So I take it Sonata got the job?
Excellent story.
Why did the sirens get sent back to Equestria in this story? After getting their pendants shattered, they were no longer a threat! But the Rainbooms still decided to throw them back into Equestria where Princess Twilight held them accountable and make them do community service, when they didn't need to do that! Just loosing their pendants, the sources of their powers, and getting booed off the stage was punishment enough!
Greetings. Your reading has been completed and can be found here. I hope you enjoy.

Awesome!!!
Wait. Ninjadeadbread?
Eh. Still awesome.
I can actually picture Sonata having head sisters.
This was a wonderful little story.
Something tells he Adagio might get along real nicely with pony Rarity.
Maybe...
Shut up Adagio!
Laughing is normal for all of us Sonata.
spell and a half?
And here I was hoping she'd not act like this.
Yanthink?
Knew it.
Yep, they're drunk alright.
Yep, so it ain't a total loss.
