Spike was violently struck with the realization that no one was using her as a pillow and jolted awake, finding herself in a broom closet of a room. Spike looked around groggily; having not slept once as a Goddess, she couldn't figure out where she was or how she had passed out for her life.

"Did I drink myself into a black-out," She pondered, scratching at her head and noticing her arms, "Oh no...oh Fuck!" Spike jumped to her feet; she still had her pink bathrobe and her golden undergarments, but somehow, it just made her human body look more naked. Spike swiftly tied her robe shut and felt a lightbulb go off in her brain.

"Twilight, you are so uninvited to all the epic parties I plan to throw after I solve this stupid who's the bad guy mystery!" Spike let out a huff at the fact that her sister had basically just banished her and made to open the door, only for it to open for her; she was greeted by the unhappy face of a vaguely familiar-looking girl.

Spike tried and failed to find a name, "I'm sorry you have a familiar face. Have you now or ever been a villain?" The girl let out an annoyed huff before answering.

"I am Aria Blaze," She introduced dryly, "And I drew the short straw, so I have to keep you alive until your stupid friend comes back for you so we can use you as a hostage to get back into Equestria,"

"And what if I told you I desperately needed a woman to use me as a pillow to survive?" Spike asked inquisitively.

"We found you with a note warning your stupid horny," Aria replied blandly as she shut the door behind her; the small room had a small bed and one table; Aria placed what looked to be a stolen lunch tray from a school onto the table with an assortment of what looks to be the leftovers of the same lunch the tray had been lifted from.

"This carton of milk is warm," Spike noted as he inspected it. "It is also open," Aria shrugged.

"Not like I have money," She replied blandly, "And luckily, that stupid school couldn't expel us because starting a song war was not an eligible reason for expulsion,"

"Oh," Spike laughed, "You're one of the Sirens," Spike sighed, "Oh, that means you'll be way less sexy on the other side of the mirror," Spike visibly deflated and rolled over in her bed with a pout. "This went from interesting to depressing in a heartbeat," Aria rolled her eyes and got up to leave before Spike called out to her, "By the way, your plan's doomed to fail. The portal opens up into the Crystal Empire at the moment, so you and your two friends will be trapped in a small bubble or be forced to face hundreds of miles of harsh, unending cold.

Aria had been reaching for the doorknob and sighed before headbutting the door. "Fucking figures," Aria put her hand to her face and dragged down on it before looking back at Spike, the only option, and maybe the last possible way for her to escape this magicless world, sat pouting on the bed.

"Alright, so that plan gonna fail, how about you and I, we work out a new plan, you help me get out of here, I help uncurse you, or help you keep the curse, or become your wife or whatever," Aria's readiness to do whatever to get out of the human world at least told Spike that she absolutely hated living in it.

"Oh, but what about your two sisters?" Spike asked curiously, "Just gonna betray them?"

"Sonata doesn't even want to leave," Aria said in exasperation, "She's the manager of the Taco Hut and gets unlimited free tacos, and I think she's been visiting Sunset Shimmer 'after school' if you get my meaning,"

"I'm a sex god; I get the insinuation," Spike assured her.

"And Adagio is just an egomaniac; she'll just get herself banished the day of her escape because she cannot recognize she's outclassed,"

"And what about you?" Spike asked with interest.

"I just don't wanna be here!" Aria practically cried, "This place sucks; we lost our powers; we lost what little magic we had in that stupid battle of the bands, and now not only are we all tone-deaf, but I'll have to spend the rest of my life dealing with Adagio's little power trips because I can't fucking read, and turns out you need to do that for basically any job that could get me away from her,"

"Ok, you can't read, but Sonata can?" Spike asked, now invested in her sudo kidnapper slash savior life drama.

"Sunset's been teaching her the basics; it's how they started seeing each other, part of Sunset's attempts to reform us,"

"So you're willing to do anything to get out of the human world?" Spike asked as she leaned in a little, "Would you be willing to stop being a Siren?" Aria seemed confused by the statement before Spike clarified, "Because I'm like eighty percent sure I can do that, and if you're not technically Siren, then technically speaking, you can deny having done any crimes since those crimes were clearly done by a siren," Aria seemed unsure of how to response so Spike kept selling it.

"Let's be honest, Sirens are massive serpentine dragon-esk monsters without hands or legs," Spike shrugged, "So would it really be that bad if I made it so you kept this human form but got some magic back when you did cross over into Equestria?" Aria looked Spike up and down with both a desperate desire to say yes and suspicion of Spike's offer.

"Why?" She asked; Spike felt the question was both open and fair.

"I'm sure I could come up with some really stupid lovely dovey reason, but in all honesty, I might have ta' go to war with Twilight over this, and I feel like you could be very helpful in that, maybe give you the power to swap between giant Siren and regular size human girl?"

"Do I get to kill that purple bitch?" Aria demanded.

"Let's not jump straight into that," Spike said; Aria noted, and so did Spike, much to her distaste, that the answer given was not a no but more of a warning to have that be the backup plan.

"Alright then, so we just wait till your friend comes back..."

"Oh no," Spike laughed, "that'll take too long, and Sunset has a magic book to talk to Twilight, so I say we cause a ruckus," before Aria could question how Spike reached into a small pocket sewn into the interlining. Of her robe and pulled out a small pink heart. "Just in case Twilight did something to cut me off from my magic, example A being the fact that I am here, I had some of it stored for safekeeping, so in theory, if I put this around your neck, you should be able to sorta use your siren powers to a warped degree, with a catch,"

"I'll do it," Aria declared, "I don't care what it is, I will do it,"

"This is my magic," Spike informed her, "My magic is about fertility, plants and babies and stuff, and to a lesser extent, love and happiness, so if you did use this, your powers would probably spread Toxic love,"

"Toxic love?" Aria asked in bewilderment.

"as your powers naturally cause people to fight, adding my magic on top of it should cause people to fight for the sake of love, regardless of if the love is requited, arguing, bickering, or fighting, it probably won't affect Sunset, the other five girls, or your sisters, but we just need Sunset to call out to Twilight and she'll know I caused it, then it's just a mad dash to the mirror before she can stop us,"

"I'm in," Aria reached for it excitedly, but Spike pulled back.

"Before that, we need to get over the first hurdle," Spike noted, "it's my love magic, so to use it, you have to love me, and I have to love you,"

"Dammit," Aria knew the promise of power had been too good to be true as Spike smiled.

"Luckily, I fall in love fast, and I already love your gumption, so all I have to do is sleep with you, and that side is a done deal; now the only problem is making you want to sleep with me,"

"I'll just do it," Aria began pulling her top off, but Spike halted her in her tracks.

"Slow down," Spike chuckled, "love the determination, but you're the first woman I've ever tried to seduce who didn't already worship me, so frankly, you just jumping into it might only make you hate me and, in turn, spoil the magic,"

"So if I want to get out of this hell hole of a world..."

"You have to sleep with me and like it," Spike informed her curtly, "Tragic, but it's the only way this will work,"

"Fine," Aria let go of her shirt and instead opened up Spike's robe, "Let me get a look at what you got going on," Spike showed no sign of resisting. Aria gave Spike a good once over with her hands and eyes; Aria felt up the male organ between Spike's leg and took a great amount of time continuing to investigate it.

"How...how does this happen exactly?" Spike repositioned herself and patted her chest, Aria moved in awkwardly and snuggled against Spike's chest, who held her close.

"This is so fucking weird," Aria muttered, and Spike chuckled.

"Alright, let me weave you the story of how I became, as Twiligth likes to phrase it, cursed,"
