Stardust & Dazzle

"Crap crap crap crap crap crap. Don't be afraid to put your morals first Fluttershy says, help those in need she says. Guess what I did mom, I saved a person, I should feel happy. Call it morals or call it bad luck, of all the people I had to save, it had to be Adagio Dazzle. What was she even doing out there? She's lucky I was nice enough to manage that nasty hit to her head. Guess she'll wake up sooner or later."

I planted my butt in a seat and began to watch TV until she began to stir. She groaned and moaned as her eyes fluttered open. I quickly ducked behind the couch as she awoke. Don't ask me, I don't know why I did it. "H-hello?" Her voice sounded so different. Just like Aria, her voice was much softer and cuter. "I saw you go behind there. W-who are you? I'm calling the cops."

Quickly, I removed my phone from my pocket and shot up. "Sorry, I was just getting my phone."

"W-who are you mister?"

"Um...Delz....you know...guy you tried to kill."

"Kill? I would never kill anyone, I'm not that crazy."

"You can stop playing dumb Adagio." you said as you placed your butt on the couch.

"Who's...Adagio?"

"You're Adagio.....crazy siren from Equestria."

"You have lost me completely. I don't know what a siren is or what city is Equestria."

"Equestria is a country on the other side of the portal, you know that."

"A portal? Please slow down sir, can you explain this to me? My name first if you would be so kind."

"Your name? It's Adagio Dazzle."

"Adagio Dazzle....sounds musical."

There's no way. "Adagio, what are your sister's names?"

"I have sisters? That's amazing, maybe they can tell me who I am."

There is no freaking way. "Can you tell me who sent you to the human world?"

"What other world is there?"

Holy crap, there is no way. One more test. "Adagio, do you remember anything from the last 24 hours?"

"Not specifically. Actually I don't even remember a good portion of my life, I just woke up here. I assume I've been staying with you for a while haven't I?"

Well can't use that one anymore. She might actually have Amnesia. Now I could tell her everything that Sonata and Aria have told me but what if that suddenly gives her back her memory. "Well no, actually you've been.....um...."

"What are you trying to say sir? Oh my, are we partners? Have we been intimate yet? Maybe then I should....."

"Wait what are you doimmf..." Without warning or choice, I was barraged with a rump on my lap and kisses my way. She succeeded on a number of tries of course until my mind finally came to it's senses before it alerted that traitorous part of my body. I had to quickly restrain her before it got out of hand or into one if you know what I mean. "Adagio, we're not together." Anymore. It would be nice though...What am I saying you're with Aria now, keep it together.

"What do you mean anymore?"

"What are talking about?"

"You said we're not together anymore."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't Adagio."

"I woke up here, I don't know who I am or where I am, I'd be very grateful if you told me what you mean."

"Ok but before we do that, could you get off of me."

"Oh right." After removing herself from my lap and taking a seat next to me, I did my best and began to explain everything to her, her entire life, our relationship, starswirl and all.

"And after that last defeat, you kicked Aria and Sonata out, since then they've been staying with me."

".......Wow.....I am a total jerk. Why would I ever do something like that to my own family?"

"It's hard to say. We all believe that your lust for power drove you insane but some believe that whatever it was in canterlot you attended may have had something to do with it."

"I am so so sorry for everything really."

"It's ok Adagio, you really weren't yourself."

"I mean If I could make it up to you...I'd like to...you know..."

"Kinda married to your sister like I said, remember?"

"But....you know...she's not here...."

"But I'm married and I will continue to give that excuse. You're really gonna try and come on to a guy you just met."

"Well you said we've known eachother for awhile now. Something's telling me to believe you.....it's also telling me something else." she said as she kissed my cheek. Wait a minute, something's off about this. Why is she suddenly so horny. I mean I can't exactly say that I just make girls horny at the sound of my voice so what could..omg what time of year is this? As she seductively pushed herself onto me and began performing the most sensual actions, quickly, I glanced at the calendar. April?(Sigh) damn, can a pony/siren turned human still get heat cycles. Well she's not letting me go so I suppose so. "Please Mr. Delz, may I...receive you?" Why the fuck are you so adorable all of a sudden?!

"Adagio, Sister, Aria, Married, please remember!"

With a cute little yelp she quickly removed herself and patted herself off. "I'm s-sorry Mr. Delz...I don't know what came over me."

"I got a pretty good idea."

"Could it have been love?"

"You are quite prone to assumptions aren't you? Ever heard of a heat cycle?"

"Yes but that's only in animals right?"

"Technically you are an animal Adagio."

"I suppose that would explain my sudden need. By the way, I...um...felt it....You are quite equipped."

"Uh....thanks. Just do me a favor and never tell anyone that happened."

"Why? Are you afraid people might judge you. Are you afraid you'll get judged by your friends or worse. maybe they'll judge me."

"No no, it's nothing like that. The fact is I'm still married to your sister. She'll most likely cry which will cause the other one to kick my butt."

"Oh...yea. So what are sisters like exactly?"

"You could say they're not what they seemed like the story. Sonata, she's a bit of knucklehead, but she's actually the most considerate of all three of you, at least before you and Aria changed personalities. She was only the first out because she was only one willing to take into consideration, the consequences of her actions. Aria, well she used to be a hardcore punk rock girl. Turns out that was hiding her true colors. A sweet and innocent formal girl who was just tired of being used and taken advantage of."

"I wish I could apologize to them, even though I don't really remember them."

"Well yea, college awaited them."

"What about you, why didn't you go to college with them?"

"Hmmm? Good question, I think I already finished it."

"Really?"

"Yea somewhere around 20 years ago."

"But wait, you look young."

"I'm actually 24."

"Congratula...wait what?"

"I'm 24."

"You're 24 and you finished college 20 years ago....when you were 4 years old?"

"Starswirl's unpatented youth potion had a hand in that."

"That makes makes sense."

We both quickly jumped at the flash of lightning through the window. "Holy crap, it's still coming down."

"And to believe I was out there in that maelstrom."

"I have no idea what the old Adagio was thinking but I'm kinda glad you're ok."

"Kinda?"

"Well you may have tried to come onto me and you may have lost your memory, but I'm still a little scared the old Adagio will come back and, utterly, destroy me."

"Well this is the new and nice Adagio. You can either hang out with me or wait until mean Adagio comes back."

"Better than nothing I guess. Since we're not going anywhere for a while, you hungry?"

"Yes Mr. Delz."

"You can stop with the title, just Delz is fine."

"Oh I'm sorry Mr. Delz."

"You know what, I tried. Now let's see here." It was taking me a considerable amount of time just to plan out a meal seeing as how I only knew how to cook a select few recipes. "This is...."

"Having trouble?" Adagio's voice suddenly came through directly behind me making me jump onto the counter as if I'd seen a spider. As we stared at each other, I nervously coughed and got off. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?"

"Um....no."

"....You wanna talk about it?"

"...No. Can I get back to cooking now?"

"Well I did ask if you were having trouble."

"Kinda, can't find the right combinations."

"Want me to prepare the meal then? I already see a few I can make."

"You can cook?"

"I don't know exactly how but I do know how to cook alot."

Must've learned when she had no other choice. "Be my guest. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask."

"I will Mr. Delz." As she began, I took a moment to lean on the opposite wall and contemplate the situation in it's entirety. It seems that while her some of her memory remains, the majority of that memory is human. Anything she's learned and done as a human remains while her memories of anything having to do with a siren seems to have been forgotten, including her sisters. It also seems that her personality is quite cute, more prone to jumping to assumptions and negative outcomes. It's a relief but also kinda creepy I mean...what if she suddenly remembers everything she's done and goes back to it? This will all be for nothing. "Are you ok Mr. Delz?"

"Hmm?"

"You had your eyes closed, it looked like you were thinking pretty hard."

"Um...haha no, I'm fine trust me."

"Hmm..." With the curiosity of a thousands georges, she stared at me. "You're hiding something aren't you?"

"What? No..."

"You're lying aren't you?"

"I would never...ok it's kinda personal though." I was trying my best to keep my analysis away from her. Obviously she wouldn't take to kindly to me not trusting her, least I think she wouldn't.

"I can respect that. As punishment for lying however," Crap, "You have to tell me which of these spices is for seasoning steak. I kinda forgot this one."

"Wait steak? I don't even have any steak."

"It's strange , I had some in my bag for some reason. I assume that's my bag by the front door anyway."

"Yea it is, I found it when I found you out there, and the spice you want is 2 tablespoons of kosher salt."

"Oh that's what that spice was." Something tells me this is going to be interesting. About 7 minutes later, she yipped for joy like a little schoolgirl before to turning to me. "Close your eyes."

"Um...why exactly?"

"Just do it."

"Alright then."

"And hands off the table." I'm not one to ignore orders so I did just that. What I heard was blur of different things, utensils and plates until finally. "And open."

I popped one eye open to see sitting on my table, a plate with steak, mash potatoes, and, "Are these green beans or....why are they white?"

"I...don't know. I found them in the cabinet with some other questionable candy substances."

"And this would Pinkie's stash I suppose. Word of advice, don't ever digest anything in that cabinet."

"Wait why?"

"Candy gives you a sugar rush. Pinkie's candy....you don't want to know."

So just the steak and mashed potatoes?"

"Pretty much." We thankfully swiped Pinkie's equivalent of drugs off our plate and started eating. The mash potatoes were amazing but what I really was aiming for was the steak. I took the knife and the fork and began cutting off a piece to which she just stared at me from across the table, the hope of her face was unreal. Finally I popped it into my mouth and my eyes lit up like stars. "Are you kidding me?"

"Is it bad, oh no, I gave you food poisoning didn't I?"

"No no, It's actually pretty good."

"R-really?"

"I don't think some of the most famous steak restaurants out there could match this."

"You are sweet you know that?"

"I try. I mean I'm not trying to come on to you or anything."

"You're with my sister, I can respect that. Please let me accept you."

"What was that that?"

"I think the heat is talking again."

"Is it the heat really?"

"W-what do you mean?"

"I mean it is the time of heat for ponies but is that really the case."

"Of course it's heat Mr. Delz. I don't find myself with prior feelings for you so..."

"Perhaps you do, maybe you're just in denial. Dear Celestia, I think I figured it out."

"Please don't do this."

"But I must my dear, your lust is too great and is overpowering me.

"Oh god no. Delz, please, I will buy you another steak just stop before I do something, it's unbearable."

"Such is fate my lady."

I quickly stood up and crossed around the table to stand before her. To which I bent down and began to lean for a kiss. What came next was not expected in the least. I could faintly see her shaking, I don't know whether it was from fear or temptation but I probably shouldn't have pushed the situation seeing as how she was in heat, trust me it's not what you expect. "Nein!" she screamed as she slapped me and began to blush violently. "Du Idiot!"

(You idiot)

"Ow...wait did you just speak german?"

"I think so."

"Not gonna lie....was kinda hot." The look on her face was priceless, a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Uh oh."

As expected she tackled you to the ground and began to slapping even more. "Du Idiot! Du bist vielleicht ein Idiot!"

(You Idiot) (you really are an idiot!)

"Ok I get it, I get it, I was just messing with you, please stop assaulting me in german now."

"Oh no, I'm am so sorry Bitte verzeih mir."

(Please forgive me)

Crap, her accent changed too. "Ok first you're speaking the words, now you're speaking with an accent. Is this gonna be a ongoing thing?"

"Nein, I don't know! Please turn it off!"

"Where did you even learn german?"

"I don't know, Scheisse, I'm still talking like this."

(Shit)
"Perhaps you need a good night sleep. You know, in a place that isn't wet and dirty."

"Well wet and dirty certainly are some descriptive words.....Nein brain, stop it."

"Maybe by the time you wake up, your heat will be gone and that accent will be to."

"Hopefully."

We quickly finished up our food and I escorted her up the stairs. No way I'm sending her back out into the craziness, least not until the storm is over. "We don't really have spare rooms so I'll let you use Sonata's room."

"Um....by myself?"

"Yea what's the issue?"

"Well...I kinda don't like sleeping alone, at least not unless somebody else is in the room."

"Hmm? Where did this sudden rule for yourself come from."

"I don't know really. I just know I'm more comfortable with somebody else there."

"I don't really know if I'm comfortable with this idea but you can sleep in mine and Aria's room."

I showed her to the room and let get herself situated before giving her a rundown of what she might want to do. "I'm sure you're still feeling fatigued from being out there, so if you need it, the shower is right across from here. I got you a change of Aria's usual pajamas in there already so you should be set while I wash what you had on."

"Thank you."

"I'll be up in a few after you're out."

As I began towards the door, I felt arms latched around my waist, Adagio cuddling closely to me it seemed. "Would you take your shower already?" I said in a playful tone.

She giggled then ran off to the bathroom. It's like she's a little kid which is a tiny bit disturbing considering what happened earlier but nonetheless she is different. As I began down the stairs and the shower started, I heard a loud squeal from her. "Delz!"

"Hot water's on the right!"

"Thank you!"

As I continued down the stairs, I switched into my detective mindset. "So she seems to have completely forgotten about her equestrian past. Not a uncommon thing except the strange thing is, while she has forgotten any memory she had as a siren, the things she's learned as a human seemed to remain. It's quite possible that at some point in time she learned german and developed the accent, something of human origin, but can't remember how she learned it thanks to her being a siren at the time. And the cooking, she may have picked that up after things got tough for her, Aria, and Sonata but because it was siren memory, she retains the skills but not memory itself. Question is...is she faking it or not. It seems genuine, I want to believe it."

5 minutes passed and finally the shower stopped. I listened closely for some reason and heard the door open. "Hey Delz, um...where are the towels?"

"Hold up, I'll get you one." I ran upstairs and proceeded to my room where a drawer held all of mine and Aria's towels. We all keep a separate set of towels as to not run out because you have your own towels I would say. I made my way across the way and knocked on the door. "This is yours milady."

"Um...thank you, the formal tag is not really necessary though."

"Sorry."

As I attempted to close the door, I felt the door stick a little. It's quite usual of this door, of course. All you had to was open a little and it would close just fine. My plan was this, open a little then close it, simple right? I began to crack it open just a little and started to close it until it got stuck again and again. I admit, I was becoming a little frustrated knowing full well I'd have to fix this later and continued to try and unjam the door. "Is something wrong Mr. Delz?"

"Yea give me a sec, just gotta unjam the door. "Come on...you piece of......and....crap!" I screamed out as I realized I lost my footing. I bashed into the door with no balance and of course, barged directly into her just about to cover up with towel. Like clockwork, we bumped into each other and fell to the ground. Our eyes met and it was like magic. No not magic as in we had some kind of spark between us, magic as in her hand flew up so fast it had to be magic. "Nein! Was zur Hölle?!" she said as she continuously assaulted me with her palms.

(What the hell)

"I don't know what you said but I'm sorry, the door was stuck and I lost my balance."

"Just go already!"

"Don't have to tell me twice." I quickly rushed out and shut the door which glided smoothly to a close this time. Are you freaking kidding me door!? You had one job and that to was close! After 5 nerve wrecking minutes of waiting, Adagio emerged from the bathroom wearing Aria's usual pajamas, well not really pajamas but something to sleep in which was a shirt that only went down to the top of her stomach and sweats.

"How does Aria sleep in this?"

"I ask her that question every night."

"Do me a favor Mr. Delz and please don't try to peep on me."

"I didn't, the door was stuck and....yes ma'm."

"Oh, did I come off as too harsh, I mean ma'm can be a symbol of respect too, but in this case..."

"Calm down Adagio, you're fine."

"Oh, well I'll see you in the bedroom."

That's definitely one thing I'd never thought I'd hear from anyone else other than Aria. After my shower, I made my way to the room where, of course, Adagio was already sound asleep under the covers facing the wall. Hell, wait for me. We both need some hardcore sleep. I slipped under the covers and made sure to turn away from her as to bring my own morals into consideration. I began to drift off until movement in the bed got my attention. "Hmm?"

I turned my head slightly to check on her, nothing. I began to drift off again until more movement made me turn my head again. Nothing. I returned my head to the pillow until the feeling of her warmth made it obvious the she had her arms latched around me as if we were married. Calm down Delz, you can get through this without cheating on your wife. I began to drift off again, her warmth adding to mix of the lure until her words came as soft as can be. "Hey...Delz?"

"Yea?"

"Thank you....for taking care of me. I know...I was a...jerk."

Wait a minute, does she remember? "What was that Adagio?" No answer. Maybe she's faking it, how else would she remember it so quickly. Maybe that was her talking in her sleep perhaps. Hmm?....I suppose I'll wait it out, see what happens.
