Unbeknownst to Source and Sunset Shimmer, they were being listened to. They were sitting in McDonalds, talking away and failed to really pay attention to everyone else around them. Who they had failed to notice was only a few tables away from them. Or to what was going on around them. Three girls in hoodies were singing, nothing spectacular, but they were singing in perfect harmony… Everyone else around them were arguing and yelling at each other.

Save for Source and Sunset who had some immunity to the effects of the song of the sirens.

“Ugh…” One of the girls sighed as she pulled her hoodie off. “I’m so, so done with this slop.” She gestured to all around the room. “I mean, c’mon! This is barely even a meal!”

“Aria, we can’t really do much without any Equestrian magic…”

“And this, Adagio, is why this banishment is so awful. I have to spend it hearing your voice.”

“Excuse me? Who’s the lead singer of the three of us, hmm?” Adagio asked.

“I dunno,” the third girl said. She had a taco. “Honestly, who cares? We don’t have real power and the last time we tried to get a leg up in the world, we burnt down a diner and ended up hiding from the cops for days.” Sonata then pointed behind her bickering… friends? Coworkers? Coworkers. “Also those two aren’t arguing or mad at each other.”

“I’m married to Celestia…” The guy with blue skin said.

“Odd, the only Celestia we know of in this world is the principal at a local high school. I didn’t think the principal would be dating a teenager-”

“Princess Celestia…” The blue human then started explaining to the yellow, fiery haired girl across from him why Princess Celestia missed her. The sirens listened with great interest. What they learnt… the portal was open. They could go back to Equestria!

“We… could rule as Queens! Adagio whispered to her comrades. “Just imagine, we follow them out of here and to where that portal to Equestria is and-”

“Can it wait until tomorrow? It’s Taco Tuesday.” Sonata asked.’

Aria sighed. “Sonata, you do realize you could have slaves with tacos for you, on demand? Everyday could be Taco Tuesday if we took over Equestria… You dimwit.”

“Oh… you drive a good point- hey they’re leaving.”

Their mystery man and woman left the McDonalds and the devious girls were quick to follow. Lo and behold, they were led to the local highschool, where the couple they had been tailing had walked up to the horse statue in the center of the courtyard of the school. The two walked in and the trio of sirens just felt their jaws hit the ground.

“The portal… was under our nose the WHOLE TIME?!” Adriage growled.

“Apparently. You two never look at the finer details of things,” Sonata said idly as she stirred s milkshake she somehow got out of McDonalds… the ice cream machine wasn’t working.

“C’mon! Let’s go!” Aria grabbed her comrades before running towards the statue. They went through the portal and were greeted with an empty storage closet.

They stepped out and noted… only a blue, alicorn stallion. He was just sitting in the middle of the hallway, staring ahead at a group of ponies as they left.

“Oh… he seems strong,” Adagio purred.

“He’s an alicorn too…” Aria muser.

“Let’s kill him!” Sonata cheered.

Adagio shook her head. “No, let’s use him to kill the others. Watch and learn, you morons.” Adagio changed from her fish-horse hybrid appearance to that of a gorgeous mare. She went to make her first move towards ruling Equestria.
