Chapter 2: The Siren

"Oh everypony's sayin' you should learn to express your voice..." Crescendo sang to himself as he trotted along in his cloak. His entire village really admired the Ponytones. In fact a little side Quest of his while in Ponyville was to get the Ponytones to sign his record cover to display it in the Town Hall. "But if talk doesn't seem like its the answer luckily you have a choice." Crescendo smiled. He double checked his album cover. Yep. That's him. Crescemdo thought. He had already gotten Toe Tapper and Torch Song's autograph's. All he needed where two ponies called Macintosh Apple and Rarity. Crescendo trotted up to the stall.

"Curses." Crescendo stomped his hoof. He was too small to reach the booth. "Hey Mister!"

Big Mac poked his head out in front of the booth and looked around.

"Down here!" Big Mac heard a voice and raised his eyebrows. A cloaked foal grinned up at him from the inside. He reached into his cloak. "Would you sign my record cover please?" He brought up the Ponytones record that was a big hit across Equestria. It brought a few hundred bits into his personal bank account every month due to royalties.

"Eeyup." Big Mac was always eager to encourage music lovers. He took out a quill and ink bottle and signed using his mouth. Big Macintosh Apple.

"Thank you Mister Macintosh!" The foal said excitedly. "Any Idea where I can find Miss Rarity?" He pointed to Rarity.

"She runs a clothing boutique just down the way." Big Mac pointed to a large carousel like house.

"Thank you Mister Macintosh!" The colt bounded away.

"What in tarnation?" Big Mac asked as he swore he saw a blue fin like tail bounding along behind the foal. He shook his head. "Must be seein' things."

"Big Mac I gotta go, Twilight needs tha girls. Some kind of emergency. Can you handle the stand?" Applejack came up with Pinkie Pie.

"Eeyup." Big Mac agreed. He understood now that Twilight Sparkle was a Princess she might have more need of Applejack and the other Mares that helped defeat Nightmare Moon.

"Thanks a bushel Big Brother." Applejack said. "Come on Pinkie, let's nab this varmit." She raced off to Fluttershy's house with Pinkie Pie.

Rarity heard the door open with a tinkle. "Welcome to Carousel Boutique how may I help-curious. There's nopony here."

"Ahem." A young voice cleared his throat. Rarity looked down to see a cloaked foal holding up a Ponytones album cover.

"Would you please sign my album cover Miss Rarity? My village really admires the Ponytones and I was hoping to get an album with your autographs displayed in our Town Hall."

"Well, how can I say no to that. I'd be honored to sign your album cover young colt." Rarity levitated a quill and signed. "Are you sure there isn't anything else...you need assisstance with? This raggedy cloak maybe?"

"N-no thanks." The foal said nervously making sure his cloak was snug around his body.

"But its so old...and worn...I could make you a new more comfortable cloak with fabrics to retain cool in the summer and warmth in the winter."

"No thank you Miss Rarity. I'm not comfortable taking my cloak off around-"

"There he is!" Pinkie Pie said foal gasped and ran out the back of the store. forgetting his album cover.

"Wait you forgot...your album cover..." Rarity said as the foal ran away from the shop

"Ya ain't gettin' away that easily!" Applejack said as she ran through the shop with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.

"Wait! He hasn't hurt anypony! Don't hurt him!" Fluttershy protested as she came through.

"What on Equestria?" Rarity asked in confusion. She gasped. "MY SHOOOOOOOPPPPPP! The girls running through the shop had sent it into a state of chaos.

"Now we got him." Rainbow Dash said as she, Applejack and Pinkie Pie had cornered Crescendo into a wall.

Crescendo desperately looked to each mare trying to find a way out. Finding none...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" He screamed loudly in a vocalising manner. It wasn't melodical though. This was a sonar like attack taught to all siren baby's before they leave the nest or "Home" as it where these days.

The 3 mares put their hooves over their ears.

"Sweet Celestia what a horrible sound." Rainbow Dash said with her eyes closed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The force of his sound wave attack blew back his cloak off his head to reveal a young colt. Very young. Crusader age. with two elfish ears on his head instead of normal pony ears. His fur was blue and his mane black with gold highlights. This was Crescendo Midnight. He ran through the gap between two of the mares and ran toward a large castle.

"He's headed for the castle!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

"OH no ya don't ya little varmit." Applejack twirled a lasso and hogtied the little Siren.

"AAAAAHH-"

"None of that either." Pinkie Pie shoved a stale cupcake in his mouth with icky old icing.

The Siren's eyes started to water. then hicing.

"Uh oh." Applejack said.

"WAAAAAAHHAHHAAA." Crescendo showed his true age here. "I hic WANT hic MY hic MOMMY!"

"Oh no. Please don't cry." Pinkie Pie begged.

"I told you not to...hurt...him..." Fluttershy said dangerously to the three mares as she fluttered down to the siren and began to untie him.

"But we-" Rainbow Dash protested.

"Rainbow Dash you know that this isn't one of the sirens that twilight faced in the other world. Why would you treat him like a common criminal? Its not a crime to be a species other than pony."

"But Twilight said-" Applejack protested.

"Did she say to hunt him down like an animal?" Fluttershy demanded.

"Well...aw dang it we screwed up big time didn't we?" Rainbow Dash asked Applejack.

"I reckon so." Applejack said. Feeling guilty about putting a foal almost her sisters age in a situation where he was afraid of her.

:"There we go. Its okay. Your safe now. The mean mares won't hurt you anymore little one." Fluttershy

"You three...TRASHED MY..." Rarity came upon the group with Crescendo's album cover to find an undond lasso next to a crying foal who was being comforted by Fluttershy. "What did you do?" She asked dangerously.

"I'm not even supposed to leave the nest." Crescendo told Fluttershy.

"Your nest?" The mare asked in confusion.

"I'm still only a baby." Crescendo sniffled.

"BABY?" The five mares said in shock.

"But yer my little sisters age!" Applejack protested. "You can't be a baby."

"Hardly. I'm only 1200 years old." Crescendo revealed. Sirens are an immortal species like dragons. hardly anything kills us. And we age super slowly"

"What's your name sweetie?" Fluttershy asked the foal as she hugged him motherly.

"Crescendo Midnight." The foal sniffled again. "I snuck out of my village to go looking for my big sisters."

The mares looked at each other. "How many sisters do you have darling?" Rarity asked.

"3!" Crescendo said eagerly. "Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze! They left the village a super long time ago and haven't come back. So I went looking for them!"

The mares looked to each other. "Can we get him to Twi now?" Applejack asked Fluttershy.

"I suppose we should. If only to get him checked over." Fluttershy admitted.

"I believe this belongs to you." Rarity told Crescendo. Hoofing him his record cover.

"My record cover!" Crescendo cried happily. "Thank you miss Rarity!." He said hugging it.

"Think nothing of it darling. Now how did you get those gorgeous highlights in your mane?" Rarity asked as the mares made their way toward Twilight's castle.
