A young earth pony filly with a matted golden mane and cyan coat ran in the forest, her hooves kicking up the dirt underneath them. Warm tears streaked down her fur and dripped onto the soil. She soon came to her safe place, a large, clear, grassy area surrounded by trees. The young mare sat down and the middle and continued to sob.

"I... I didn't mean to, Daddy." she coughed. "If-if it wasn't for me, you would still be here."

She looked up to the sky, her vision blurred by tears. "I'M SORRY!" she yelled.

The earth pony laid in the grass and buried her muzzle in her hooves. "I'm sorry." she whispered before passing out.


The cyan filly fluttered her eyes to see a three pairs of legs in front of her, and voices talking around her.

"What do you think we should do, Adagio?" one voice said

"I don't know, Aria." another answered the previous voice.

"Can we keep it?!" an enthusiastic voice asked.

"Of course not, Sonata!" the first voice snapped.

"Shh! It's waking." the second voice said.

As the pony's eyes focused she saw there was a pair of blue eyes in front of her.
"Hey there!" the third voice said. "What's your name?"

"Huh?" the filly rubbed her eyes. "My-my name?"

The face pulled away to show a pony with a light blue coat and a blue mane. "Your name silly!"

The young filly racked her brain. Then her eyes began to water.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Skylar said as she ran to her father.

Her father chuckled and lifted Skylar onto his lap. "Hey there, Sugar Plum." He rubbed her mane.

Skylar giggled. "No, Daddy, Mommy just fixed my mane."

Her mother poked her head into the doorway. "Oh, Sky, Daddy's just playing. I can always fix it up again."

Her father nodded. "Now who wants a piggy back?"

Skylar laughed. "I do! I do!"

Her father lifted her onto his large back and trotted around the room as Skylar continued to laugh.

"Faster, Daddy, faster!"

Skylar sniffed. "S-Skylar."

"Hmm... Skylar." the pony who the first voice belonged to tapped her chin. She had a fluffy orange and yellow mane and a yellow coat colour. "An okay name... I guess."

"What about family, do you have any family?" the second voiced pony said. This mare had a lavender coat and a purple mane with bright green highlights.

Skylar closed her eyes tightly. The tears gently fell down her cheeks. "No." she said, barely audible.

"See!" Sonata said. "She doesn't have any family. We have to help her."

Adagio's eyes became slightly sympathetic. "I'm, sorry."

Aria's eyes also became sad. "All we have is each other..."

Sonata's face fell. "Everyone else is-"

"Gone." Skylar finished.

The three ponies nodded.

"Do... You wanna come to our home?" Sonata asked.

Skylar perked slightly up. "R-really?"

The three nodded again. "Really"

For the first time in days, Skylar smiled. "Wait, what should I call you guys?"

Adagio smiled an odd half smile. "Call us... The Sirens."


The Sirens home was quite nice, with plenty of furniture and other things. Three hammocks hung in between two poles, and the Sirens were hanging another for Skylar.

"Adagio, I'm hungry." Aria said.

"So am I..." Sonata said.

"We all are." Adagio added.

"Well, if you have any kind of food, I'm a pretty good cooker." Skylar suggested.

"We... Don't exactly eat... er... solid food." Aria said.

"Yeah, my really eat-" Sonata was cut off by Adagio's hoof in front of her mouth.

"Something else." Adagio said quickly.

"Oh... Okay." Skylar muttered. "But do you have.. uh... solid foods?"

Sonata nodded. "Oh yeah, we have grass, daisies, wheat, and apples."

"Good, may I have some?" Skylar asked.

"'Coarse." Aria said.

"Thank you." Skylar added.

The Sirens had to go, as they said, hunting. After coming home they said it was time to go to bed. As Skylar was going to sleep she had one thought.

"I think I'm going to like it here."
