> The New Adventures of Sonata Dusk > by The Forgotten Siren > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Time to Start Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several years had passed since the events of the siren’s curse. After Sunset and her friends had helped Adagio, Sonata, and Aria be cured of their terrible curse that made them repulsive, the sirens gained new gems and the ability to feed off friendship to keep the curse at bay. After that day, new friendships were made and adventures were had together. The sirens were redeemed, and the rainbow of friendship was able to fix and even rewrite the three girls histories so they could live as normal people along side their friends. Aria Blaze was sitting on her bed drawing a picture of a dragon in fine detail. As the purple siren was shading, she saw Sonata Dusk in the corner of her eye playing with her little pony toys. Aria looked over at the blue siren and rolled her eyes as she thought of how childish Sonata was. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and walking out was Adagio Dazzle in a red dress with diamonds around the chest area. The yellow siren’s mountain of hair was well groomed. Adagio was spraying perfume on her neck. “Got another date with Bacon Head?” Aria asked with a smirk. “First, she is MY Bacon Head.” Adagio corrected. “Second, if you most know, yes I do have a date.” “Oh, where ya going?” Aria asked. “We are going to the History Museum.” Adagio replied placing her perfume on her night stand.”Mr. Moochick had promised me and her jobs after high school to work there.” She said putting on her pearl necklace. “Which reminds me, have you found a job yet?” “Uh yeah, I’m going to be working at the Cutie Mark Tattoo Shop over there around Griffon Stone RD.” “Well, I’m impressed.” Adagio said with sass in her voice. The yellow siren looked down at Sonata who was in her own little world playing with her pony toys. “Sonata?” Adagio called, but no answer. Adagio was annoyed. “Sonata Dusk?” The siren called again, but Sonata was still playing with her ponies. Adagio rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Who wants ice cream?” “I DO!, I DO!” Sonata said jerking her head up at Adagio with a huge smile on her face. “Can you make if a sundae with rainbow sprinkles and whip cream on top pleeeease?” Aria let out a sigh and shook her head at how simple Sonata was, while Adagio looked at the blue girl. “Sonata, this is the last week of school before we graduate and have to go into the real world.” “But, we are in the real world Adagio.” Sonata said confused. “No” Adagio rubbed the bridge of her nose again. “No, What I meant was we are going to have to get jobs.” “Oooh ok” “Have you thought about what you are going to do with the rest of your life?” Adagio asked. “Yeah Sonata, we aren’t going to take care of you forever you know?” Aria added. “Well.. No not really.” Sonata replied looking at the ground. “I don’t know what I want to do.” Adagio crossed her arms and had a stern expression on her face. “Sonata, you are going to have to get serious with your life. Opportunity isn’t just going to knock on that door.” As soon as Adagio had said that, there was a knock on the door. “HI SONATA! ITS ME PINKIE PIE!” Sonata jumped up and opened the completely forgetting what Adagio had just told her. “Hi Pinkie.” “Hi Sonata, wanna hang out?’ Pinkie asked hyperly. “Sure” Sonata replied with a smile. “Sonata?” Adagio called out. Sonata looked back at Adagio. “Yes?” “I want you to promise me that you will go out today and look for a job with pinkie.” Adagio said with a serious look on her face. “Ok, I promise.” Sonata said with a squee. As Sonata and Pinkie left Aria started to chuckle. Adagio looked at the purple siren in confusion. “What is so funny?” “You.” Aria said. “You are going to let Pinkie Pie of all people help Sonata? Hahahaha!” “Don’t you have a cucumber you need to shove up your- Sonata and Pinkie were sitting at a table with green benches and Mexican art along the walls. Mexican music played throughout the quiet restaurant . The two girls were the only customers there beside the cashier who was standing behind the counter swaying back and fourth. Both girls were waiting on their food to come. “So what was Adagio talking about looking for a job?’ Pinkie asked drinking her Pepsi. “Oh, she was just telling me how I need to be serious and that I need to get a job.” Sonata replied while stirring the ice with her straw. Pinkie got done sipping her drink. “Aw, I wish you could work with me at Sugarcube Corner, but the Cakes have plenty of help already.” Pinkie said with disappointment, but soon cheered up. “Hey what kinda job you want huh? Maybe an astronaut, or or police officer? Or maybe a pirate captain who ate a fruit that gives you strange powers and you can’t swim because of it, but that doesn’t stop you from pursuing your dreams.” “Oh my gosh, that last one would be so cool and you can be my mate.” Sonata responded. “Yeah, that would be awesome.” Pinkie said hyperly. “But Adagio wants me to get a “serious” job like going into the Air Force like Rainbow Dash. Or Applejack who is going into her family Apple Cider Brewery business.” “Oh yeah, Fluttershy has a serious job to as a vet and Rarity is going into fashion with Ms. Porcina.” Pinkie added. “I just don’t know what I want to be though. I mean I like singing and stuff, but I don’t know what I wish to do with my life.” As Pinkie Pie started to think about what job would be perfect for her blue friend, their food was served and placed before them. Both girls were happy as they looked at their dishes. Even though the food looked sloppy, it still did not stop them from taking a bite. As they did both girls turned green in the face and spat out the food. “Eww blah, this food is soggy?” Sonata said sticking her tongue out. “Bleh, this taste like Sweetie Belle’s cooking.” Pinkie added. “The cook is terrible.” Sonata said. “Your right, we got to tell the manager.” Pinkie said. “But, I don’t want to get the cook fired.” Sonata said with a concern look. “We won’t.” Pinkie stated. “Mister and misses Cake told be that it is the duty of every cook to listen to the customer, so they can learn from their failures and become a better cook.” “Oh Ok then let’s go help the cook be better at cooking.” Sonata said. Both girls got their plates and walked up to the counter. There, a green skinned, orange haired woman was standing and swaying back in fourth. “Excuse me?” Sonata said looking at her name tag. “Ms. Tree Hugger?” The girl opened her eyes. “Like welcome back, you liked the grub?” Tree Hugger asked on a mellow tone. “No its soggy and terrible.” Pinkie complained. “Oh no, that’s like really not radical.” Tree Hugger said with shock in her eyes. “Yeah, can we speak to the manager?” Pinkie asked. “We want the cook to get help in beominga better cook.” “Ok dudes wait here.” Tree Hugger said as she walked to the back. After a few seconds a woman in a red shirt with dark grey skin and long dark cerulean hair came out. This woman was accompanied by a short woman with the same red shirt and light pink skin much like Pinkie Pie, and she had bright pink hair. The dark grey skin woman looked at the food and sighed as she knew what was about to come. She looked up at Pinkie and Sonata. “Let me guess the food is terrible?” She asked with barely any expression on her face. “Yeah, its soggy and nasty. We want the cook to learn how not to make it soggy and nasty.” Pinkie answered. “Look girls, I’m sorry, but our cook, Soggy Waffle just can’t cook proper Mexican food.” The woman said. “We are already going out of business anyway so how about I just give you your money back?” “Oh no your losing your business?” Pinkie asked in a panic? “That’s terrible.” “Yeah, our cooks and other help quit about a month ago.” The lady said opening up the cash draw to return the money to the girls. As she got the proper change she handed the money to Sonata and Pinkie Pie who was just standing there with a blank look on her face. The lady raised an eye brow in concern. “You ok ma’am?” There was a clock ticking inside Pinkie’s brain and suddenly it went off. “OH MY GOSH I HAVE AN IDEA!” Pinkie screamed. This freaked the manager out, not knowing what was going in that Pink head of hers. Tree Hugger just smile. “Righteous.” “Sonata why don’t you cook? You made those really awesome burritos at Cheese Sandwiches party remember?” “Hey yeah, I do remember that day. Diamond Tiara ate three and after an hour it really started to smell bad in the room.” Sonata said. “Sorry girls, but I can’t allow it.” The lady said. “Its against the rules.” Both Sonata and Pinkie let out an aw together with a sad look on their faces. Suddenly the short pink woman who had been quit the whole time tugged at the dark grey skinned lady’s shirt. The lady looked back and saw the pink woman looking at her with no expression on her face. After a few seconds of staring at each other the lady sighed. “But they don’t have slip proof shoes. If they fall we can get sued.” The lady said. The pink girl suddenly stuck out her tongue and jumped into the air. She bent her legs and quickly, like a ninja took off her own shoes. “Ok fine.” The lady said grabbing the shoes from her and handing them to Sonata. Sonata smile as she grabbed the shoes and quickly put them on. Strangely the shoes were her size. Hey can I come back there to with her?” Pinkie asked. “We don’t have another pair.” The lady replied. “Oh my shoes are already slip proof see?” Pinkie lifted her shoe up to the woman’s face. “Ok fine.” The lady said moving the shoe out her face. “Now let’s see what you got.” Both Sonata and Pinkie followed the woman to the back. As they got there, they saw a man cleaning up the floors. The man looked up and saw them, but said nothing. The lady took Sonata to the grill. “Ok girl, show us what you can do.” The lady said. “You can cook whatever you want as long as its good.” “Good luck silly-nata!” Pinkie cheered giving her siren friend a hug. Sonata looked at the grill and the ingredients before her eyes in awe. The siren soon took a deep breath and closed her eyes thinking of what to cook. After a few second the blue girl opened her eyes and grabbed the ingredients that she was to use for her dish. Sonata had a blank expression on her face as she cooked. She stayed focused on the ingredients she put into her food. Her skills were like that of a master chef. Both managers looked in amazement as they saw the blue girl perform skill like they never seen before. Tree Hugger looked at her level of skill and just smiled. The guy cleaning the floors looked to, but didn’t really care that much for her performance. After twenty minutes Sonata was done. She handed both managers, the cashier, and Pinkie Pie a Chimichanga. The girls sat at the break room table as Sonata stood up putting her hands together hoping they like her food. The pink woman took a bite. When she did, she let out a squee and continued to eat the entire chimichanga. The dark grey lady took her fork and cut off a piece before taking a bite. As she did, her eyes widen in delight. “My god this is the best Chimichanga I ever had.” Pinkie consumed her chimichanga in one bite and then smiled. “It was great Silly-nata.” Tree Hugger bit hers and closed her eyes enjoying the flavor. As she swallowed she opened her eyes. “Mmmm, the flavors are like, far out.” She said looking at Sonata. “This is totally the most radical chimi ever.” Sonata smile at the phrase she had got. “Oh thank you.” The pink woman looked at the dark grey lady and blinked two times. “Do you really want to do this?” The dark grey lady asked. The pink woman just sat there and blinked four times. “Ok, if you think it will save us.” The dark grey woman looked up at Sonata. “So what is your name?” “Sonata Dusk.” she answered. “Well my name is Ms. Crystalis and this is Ms. Flufflepuff. We would like you to work here.” Crystalis said. “But first we need to know a little about you, such as how in the world you learn to cook like that?” Sonata squeed as she jumped for joy. She then settled down and looked at the manager. “Well me and my two friends use to be really bad and cause trouble in Mexico a long time ago and for fun I picked up on the cooking skills.” “A bad girl huh? I like that, I use to be apart of a big biker gang in the day.” Crystalis said. “Ok your hired, but first we are going to have to hire new people and close for the rest of the week to have a grand reopening this Saturday.” “Yes oh my gosh YES!” Sonata said jumping up and down. Pinkie soon followed and gave her a hug. “I knew you could do it silly-nata hehehe” Pinkie pie squeed as she embraced her friend. > Time For Ice Cream Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Oh my gosh, I am so happy for you Sona!” Pinkie Pie squeed as she jumped for joy. Both Pinkie and Sonata were leaving the cool restaurant and into the blistering heat of the day. “Now you have fun news to tell Adagio!” The pink girl said with a huge smile. “I know right?” Sonata answered happily as she held her best friend’s hand and started walking down the street. “Hey I should totally tell her now.” The blue siren said. “Totally!” Pinkie agreed . “But first, we should get you an ice cream cone to celebrate!” She added, not just to reward her friend for a job well done, but because she craved the sweet treat. “That sounds great.” Sonata smile as Pinkie Pie tugged her along to the ice cream shop. Pinkie and Sonata skipped down the street until they stopped at a big blue sign with a penguin on it. The sigh read “King Charlton’s Ice Cream Shop” in big bold print. “Yay, we made it.” Sonata said whipping the sweat of her forehead. As the girls opened the door, a blast of cold air met their sweaty bodies. They both enjoyed the nice chill wrapping around them as they walked up to the counter, were a tall huge man with black hair and ice blue skin was talking to someone. “Son, I don’t care how cold it is in here. If anyone has an issue with the temperature, then let them stay outside where it is hot. I refuse to change the AC because of them.” The huge manager said annoyed. “Excuse us?” Sonata said, waving her hand to get the man’s attention. “We need ice cream.” The tall man turned around and saw both girls smiling back at him. He cleared his throat as he stood up straight to present himself to the customers. “Greetings, I am Mr. Charlton. Welcome to the greatest ice cream shop in the world. We have over a hundred flavors for your liking. What would you li-” He was cut off by Pinkie Pie who eagerly blurted out her order. “I want a triple ice cream cone with vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, with extra rainbow sprinkles on top.” The hyper pink girl said with a squee. “Yeah and I want a cookie and cream ice cream cone dipped in chocolate.” Sonata added with the order. “Coming right up.” Mr. Charlton’s son said, getting their order while Mr. Charlton rang up the price. “That will be $6.50 please.” Mr. Charlton stated. The girls paid him and got their desired treats and left the store smiling. The girls were then headed to the Museum to see Adagio to tell her the good news about Sonata getting a job. As they were walking, somebody slammed into Sonata, causing her to fall down and her ice cream to fly right out of her hand. Sonata lifted her head to see that her ice cream had splattered all over the pavement. Tears began to fill the blue girl’s eyes as Pinkie helped her up. The person that slammed into her, glared at her. “HEY WATCH WHERE YO-.” The boy soon choked on his words as he saw Sonata’s face in tears. Sonata looked at the boy and saw it was Hoop. Hoop started to break out in a sweat as he remembered the last time her hurt Sonata. Years ago he and his friends thought it would be funny to throw a football at Sonata and laugh at her pain. However, their deeds didn’t go unpunished, because the next day, Adagio and Aria came to put them in their place. Hoop remembered Aria’s tight grip around his balls and how they almost popped. The boy started crying. “Oh my god I’m so so so sorry.” Tears ran down his face as he trembled in fear. “Pleased don’t tell you siren friends.” He begged. “You knocked down my ice cream.” Sonata said sniffing. Hoop looked at the ground and saw what his deeds had done. He was skating and not paying attention to where he was going and now he made the siren’s ice splatter all over the pavement. He gulped as he dug into his pockets pulling out money and gave her $2.15 of change. “There take it, take it all. I’m sorry.” He cried as he ran the other way. “Well that was nice of him huh Sona?” Pinkie asked with a smile. But she soon looked at her friend’s sad face and begin to frown herself. It hurt Pinkie’s heart to see her friends in pain, especially Sonata. “Hey, I know. How about I share my ice cream with you?” Pinkie asked with a small smile. “For..for realzies?” Sonata answered looking at her friend. “Yeah, anything to make you smile again Sona.” Pinkie replied back giving Sonata a hug. Sonata returned the hug with a smile on her face. “Thanks Pinkie.” Finally, Pinkie and Sonata were at the museum. As they entered the doors, they saw a very shot man with a mighty beard and green cap at the front desk. “Hello and welcome to the History Museum.” The man greeted. “My name is Mr. Moochick. I own this wonderful museum.” Pinkie gasped as she saw the man. “Oh my gosh, do you live in a magical mushroom with a pet rabbit? And make weird crap that is useless?” Pinkie asked randomly. “Ho-ho-ho-ho no ma’am.” Mr. Moochick chuckled. “But I do have a pet rabbit. Oh, by the way miss.” He says looking at Sonata. “You have something on your nose.” “On no a mosquito?” Sonata panic. “He-he-he no silly-nata.” Pinkie lean in and licked the chocolate off her nose. “Hehe its ice cream.” The Pink girl smiled. “Its so nice to see a beautiful couple.” Mr. Moochick said assuming. Pinkie and Sonata looked at the little man in confusion. “Huh?” They both said. “We’re just best friends.” Pinkie said smiling. “Yeah, like our school mates Lyra and Bon Bon.” Sonata added. “We do everything together, like tell stories, go shopping, go parting, and even share food and holding hands.” Sonata squeed. “Oh.. Um yes, that is what best friends do I suppose.” Mr. Moochick said in confusion. “Um, so what brings you here?” Sonata soon remembered the reason they came to the Museum in the first place.”Oh shoot, we are looking for Adagio and Sunset.” “Yeah, Sona here got a job and we are going to surprise Adagio, but don’t tell her because it’s a surprise.” Pinkie added. “Oh yes, well thats wonderful news yes.” Mr. Moochick congratulated. “Just let me find the intercom switch.” He says as he looks behind his desk moving things around. “Hmm ok where is it? No thats not it...thats the button for...no this is a sock....hmm oh my sandwich, I wonder where that went to.” “Hey isn’t that the button to the intercom?” Pinkie asked pointing at the red button behind the desk. Mr. Moochick looked over and saw it. “Oh yes, yes thats the intercom, thanks little lady.” He says as he presses the button. “Eh heem, will Adagio please come to the front desk? Adagio front desk, your friends are looking for you.” After about five minutes, Adagio and Sunset walked up. Sunset smiled as she saw it was her two friends. “HI SUNSET! HI ADAGIO!” Pinkie screamed, waving at them. Sunset waved back. “Hi Pinkie, what’s up?” “Sona has some really, really FUN news!” Pinkie said hyperly. “Really Sonata, what is it?” Adagio asked raising an eye brow. “I got a JOB!” Sonata replied just as hyper as Pinkie. “Yeah, isn’t that fun?” Pinkie added. “Yes, great job Sonata.” Sunset said smiling. “Yes, congrates.” Adagio said. “What job you get?” “I work at the Tasty Taco.” Sonata replied. Sunset looked at her blue friend with a concern look. “Isn’t that place crappy and about to shut down?” “No, Sonata is so great at cooking that it blew the managers minds and the hippie cashiers mind even further at just how good Sonata’s cooking is, that they decided to reopen and have Sonata work their as their number one cook.” Pinkie answered in one breathe. “Well good job Sonata.” Adagio said. “Now after graduation we will look for a place for you to live. “Live?” Sonata asked confused. “Yes, we can’t stay at the Alternative house forever.” Adagio replied back. “You are going to have to live on your own, just like Sunset and I.” Sonata started to become sad at he news. Her smile turned to a frown as she looked at the ground. “But... I don’t wanna be alone.” “HEY, I got an idea.” Pinkie cheered. “Why don’t we I’ve together?” Sonata soon perked up as she heard those words and looked at Pinkie. “For realzies?. “Yea, we can live together, that way you are never alone and I will make sure of it.” Pinkie replied enthusiastically. “Are you sure Pinkie? I mean-“ Sunset was cut off by Adagio. “I think it’s a great idea.” Adagio smiled. “How about you two go celebrate with each other?” the yellow siren suggested. “Oh my gosh, yes lets go SONA he-he-he-he.” Pinkie giggled. “Ok” Sonata answered as both girls went outside to go celebrate. Sunset looked at Adagio in confusion. “Um, are you sure about this Adagio?” The girl asked. “Yes, I can just feel it in both their hearts.” Adagio said looking at her girlfriend. “Those two are meant for each other, just like us.” The yellow siren says as she leans in and kisses Sunset on the lips. > Time to Move Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After graduation was over, Adagio had spent the night over at Sunset’s house. Both girls where looking up apartments on Sunset’s laptop. They wanted to find an apartment that was of Pinkie and Sonata’s price range. After an hour of searching and cuddling, they had finally found the place. The very next day all four girls took the city bus to the apartment complex. Pinkie and Sonata both were happy as could be, so much so that Pinkie pie was practically bouncing on her seat. “Oh my gosh this is so FUNNERIFIC!” Pinkie shouted in hype. “We should throw a Welcome to Pinkie and Sonata’s First Apartment EVER PARTY!” “That’s sound totally funzies!” Sonata added with just as much hype as her best friend. “Pinkie.” Sunset looked at the Pink girl bouncing in her seat. “Remember what I told you right?” she said with concern in her voice. Pinkie stopped bouncing and looked at sunset. “Of course,” She then dug in her hair and pulled out a jar that was filled to the brim in money. “I, Pinkie Pie, am to spend my money first on important things like food and bills. Then what ever money is left, I can put some in my “Fun Jar” So I can have parties or buy fun things with.” She finished, putting the jar back in her hair. “Was it safe to just wave your money like that?” Adagio asked concerned. “huh? Oh don’t worry, Rainbow Dash taught me how to unarm a gunman, and Rarity gave me this mace to use on perverts.” Pinkie replied holding a can of mace with a smile. “Realzies? Adagio only taught me and Aria to just punch the someone in the throat and kick him in the balls.” Sonata added. “Anyway.” Sunset interrupted, wanting to get back on topic. “Pinkie you and Sonata have to share responsibilities. You have to help and work together as a coup- I mean team.” She started to blush, almost saying couple. “I know and we will, right Sonata?” Pinkie asked with a smile as she looked at Sonata. “Right.” Sonata replied hugging Pinkie with a smile on her face. As the two were hugging, there was snickering coming from behind them. Sunset heard the noise and looked to see it was Snips and Snails. “Is something funny?” Sunset demanded, looking at the two boys.” “Da, no he-he-he.” Snails replied giggling. “But, it sure is hot hearing lesbians talk about stuff heh-heh-heh.” “he-he ya, are you two gonna take baths together?” Snips asked Pinkie and Sonata. Sonata and Pinkie looked at each other, “Oh my gosh, that sound like a great idea Sona.” Pinkie said not understanding what Snips meant by his question.. “Yeah, that way we can help wash each other’s backs and stuff.” Sonata said in agreement. “Lrya told me that is what she and Bon Bon do all the time.” Snips and Snails started to giggle even more at the image the two girl had drawn them. “da, heh heh heh that sounds really hot eh.” Snails said with a dumb look on his face. Sunset was getting rather annoyed with the stupidity of the two boys. “You do realize they are just friends right?” she asked. “No, but still lezzy girls are so hot. It’s totally the greatest fetish ever.” Snips replied chuckling. Before sunset said anything Adagio interrupted her and glared at the two boys. “Listen Beavis and Butt-Head, first lesbians, along with the entire LGBT community isn’t some sicko fetish for freaks like you.” She said with a serious tone. “And second the next perverted thing that comes out of your mouth, I am going to grab hold of your nuts until I hear a POP, got it?” Both Snips and Snails crossed their legs and gulped. “Yes ma’am.” The said at the same time. The bus soon came to the girl’s stop. Both Sonata and Pinkie were super hyped that they were going to get their own apartment. All four girls came across a huge sign that read “Welcome to Paradise Estate.” In pink letters. “Oh my gosh, how pretty.” Pinkie said admiring the colors of the words. The girls soon walked into the landlord’s office. As they did, they seen a lot of pony plushies and merchandise, even horse figurines. They went up to the desk, but nobody was there. Sunset ranged the bell and soon out of the office came a woman in overalls with a red heart on it. She had blonde hair and light pink skin, like Pinkie’s. “Welcome to Paradise estate. My name is Megan, how may I help you?” “Megan?” Sonata asked with a confused expression on her face. “That’s a strange name.” “Sonata!” Adagio scolded Sonata’s rudeness. “ha-ha it’s ok.” Megan said, not taking offense in the siren’s comment. “I know my name isn’t like most people’s, like Firefly, Shady, or Wind Chaser. My mom is from a rather old generation.” “Ohhh ok” Sonata commented. “So what brings you here today?” Megan asked as she sat down in her chair. “Well, you see my two friends here are wanting to find an apartment. “Sunset replied. Megan turned to her computer and started typing on her keyboard. “Let’s see here….. oh ok here we go. I only have one apartment with one bedroom and one bath.” She turns to look at Pinkie and sonata. “Is that an issue?” “No, that is great.” Pinkie said cheerfully. “We can be BED BUDDIES!” she squeed. “Yay, I always wanted a bed buddy.” Sonata said hugging Pinkie. “Adagio always snored to loud and Aria hogged the covers like a meanie face.” “HEY I DO NOT SNORE THAT LOUD!” Adagio barked. “Actually honey you kinda do.” Sunset blushed as she corrected Adagio. Adagio just stood there and blushed. Megan smiled as the girls carried on. “Ok, well I need to ask some questions.” She said looking at Pinkie and sonata again. “Ok, do you drink or do drugs?” Both girls answered no. Megan asked several other question that needed to be answered before the final paper work could be done.” Ok well everything is clear and you girls are set to move in on Friday in apt. B. Your first month is free and just follow the code and you will be ok.” She said getting done the final forms. “So tell me, any questions?” “Um, yes, is it ok if I throw a huge party for my friends?” Pinkie asked nervously. “Yes, but not past 10 and not to loud.” Megan replied. “YES! YES! YES! YES!” Pinkie bounced happily with sonata. Sunset looked at Megan with a smile. “Thank you.” “Your welcome, and we look forward to having you here with us." Megan said with a smile. > Time to say bye Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ok, you packed everything girls?" Adagio asked as she closed her final suit case. "Yeah." Aria answered with an annoyed tone as she always did. "Oh, Aria did you pack your cucumber collection?" Sonata asked with concern. Aria gritted her teeth as she looked at Sonata. "Yes, thank you, you siren speed bump." "Your welcome." Sonata replied with a smile on her face. "I know how much you like to use them at night for whatever it is you do in the bathroom for an hour." "Grrr...you are the worst." Aria told the blue siren. As Sonata and Aria argued over who was queen lame-o, Adagio looked at them with a smile on her face. The three of them have been through a lot together over the years. While most of it was doing evil deeds, they still stayed together, not as friend, but sisters. It filled her heart with pride to see them both doing something with their lives, and even though they were going to split up, they would still see each other and keep in touch. Adagio soon remembered something her adoptive mother Muse had told her so long ago when she was just a little siren. ~You are all a family, please promise no matter what, you will love and stay together~ A small tear slid for the yellow siren's eye. "I hope your proud of us mom." she mumbled. "huh?" Aria looked over at the yellow siren. "Did you say just say mom?" Adagio snapped out of the trance and rubbed the tear away. "Oh, sorry, its’ just, I know deep down inside my heart that Muse is proud of us." Adagio explained not being ashamed of sounding sappy for once in her life. Aria looked away with her eyes closed. "yeah..." she muttered. Sonata just lowered her head and said nothing. Adagio cleared her throat. "Ok girls, this is the new beginning of our new lives. We will always stay together no matter what, got it?" The yellow siren asked. "When did you get so cheesy?" Aria questioned. "Adagio's not cheese silly." Sonata added, looking at Aria confused. Aria face palm. "I know she isn't cheese you bird seed brain." "GIRLS!?" Adagio shouted getting the two siren's attention. "Is that clear?" The both nodded in agreement and picked up their suit cases. As the girls headed out, the bus driver, Cranky Doodle and the owner of the Alternative house, Ms. Harshwinny stood outside. "Well girls, your stay here all these years was rather.. tasteful." Ms. Harshwinny commented. "I wish you all the best of luck in your life and you will be remembered." The old woman said with the same stern look on her face. Sonata hugged Cranky and then hugged Ms. Harshwinny. "Thanks for letting us stay here and thanks for taking us to school Mr. Doodle. The siren said with glee. "Your welcome kid." Cranky replied. "It was nice having ya." "Yes, your welcome." Ms. Harshwinny said not changing her professional expression. Soon Sunset pull up in her firebird. She was followed by Applejack’s truck that had all of Pinkie’s stuff neatly in the back, piled high. Both vehicles parked in the parking lot. The three sirens waved bye for the last time before meeting up with their rides. Cranky turned his head to see tears streaming from Ms. Harshwinny's face. "Are.. Are you ok?" he asked with concern. "Yes, its just so hard to say goodbye to such wonderful girls." She replied not wanting the siren's to see her cry. “Howdy, I reckon you gals are ready?” Applejack asked as she got out of the truck with Rarity. “Yes we are.” Adagio replied, before kissing Sunset deeply on the mouth. “Wow, how did you get all of Pinkie’s stuff on the truck like that?” sonata asked in amazement. “Why me darling, I can neatly organize anything.” Rarity replied, powdering her nose. “Yeah, Rarity can organize anything, even an entire storage unite of crap, well not really crap., because Rarity would never touch poo. More like random nick nacks that nobody has room for.” Pinkie added as she hopped to Sonata and hugged her. “Ok, well I got a bus to catch.” Aria said. “Huh? Nobody is coming for you?” sunset asked with concern. “No, I live in a boarding home with Trixie, Vinyl, and Octavia.’ Aria replied. “We only take the city bus” “That sounds icky.” Rarity whined. “How so?” Applejack question. “That is kinda what me, Applebloom, and Big Mac had to do when we spent the night with my Aunt Goldie.” “Yeah, it sounds funnerific!” Pinkie added enthusiastically. “Vinyl Scratch can wake you up with WUBS!!!” “Oh my gosh that sounds amazing.” Sonata agreed. “Yes, but Vinyl is a hardcore partier and might leave cider cans all over the place.” Rarity said with an ick face. “Well that works for Aria then.” Adagio commented. “Before we moved into the alternative House, she left her thongs all over the place.” “Burn in hell Adagio.” Aria said gritting her teeth and glaring at the yellow siren. Adagio just smirked at her. “I have, it was called using the bathroom after YOU were done with it.” Aria gritted her teeth again.”gah, I got to go, I have to catch the bus.” The purple siren said leaving to catch her ride. “OK BYE ARIA! LOVE YOU!” Sonata scream as she waved bye to her friend. Aria just kept walking and lifted her right arm then flipped Sonata and Adagio off. “Well that’s rather rude?” Rarity said. “Oh no that means she loves us too.” Adagio corrected. “Well that’s mighty sweet, me and Big Mac use to punch each other in the arm as “our way” of saying I love you.” Applejack added. Sunset looked at Adagio and held her hand. “Well, are you ready?” She asked her lover. “Yeah, let’s go.” Adagio replied. “I have to say, I am rather surprised.” Rarity said while helping sonata put her stuff in the back. “I mean, isn’t cherry Jubilee, old fashion?” “Oh no, she was a proud supporter of Free King, when he fought for equal rights for all genders and sexual orientation in the 1960s.” Sunset said. “Beside she knows about Adagio and I” she said leaning her head on Adagio’s shoulder. “Well that’s nice.” Applejack commented. Adagio looked over to see Sonata and Pinkie holding hands. Even though the two were “Just friends” Adagio knew that they were soul mates and hoped that them leaving together would bring this closer. “Well Sonata.” Adagio said walking to the blue siren and gave her a hug. As she pulled away she looked into sonata’s eyes. “This is it, please be careful and try not to burn down the apartment.” “Ok” Sonata answered with a smile on her face. Adagio then got into Sunset’s car and waved by to the girls. “Well darlings, I believe it is time for us to go?” Rarity asked looking at Pinkie and sonata. “Yeah, Sonata lets go to our new apartment.” Pinkie said hyperly as she hugged Sonata tightly. The girls went into Applejack’s truck and drove off. > Time to Live Together Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thanks girls for helping me and Sonata move into our fun new apartment." Pinkie said as she hung up the streamers on the wall. "For realzies, this chair is heavy." Sonata added placing the chair down with the help from Applejack. "Don't mention it, we are glad to help." Applejack replied. As the three girls were getting the last few boxes, Rarity was using the bathroom. As she was done and washed her hands three times, she walked out and noticed the bed. Rarity was far too busy cleaning and making sure everything was perfect, to notice that Pinkie and Sonata only had a bed. Thoughts soon poured into her mind as she noticed that Pinkie acted different with Sonata, compared to her other friends. Pinkie always held Sonata’s hand and share each other food. The two of them acted like they liked, if not loved each other. Rarity soon walked into the living room where Applejack and Sonata were placing the stuffed animals on the couch. She looked at Sonata and Pinkie, and began to think even more about their relationship. Rarity wanted to ask if they had feelings for one another, but she was a lady and as such should no ask question like that. However, she was to aske it differently. “Excuse me girls, may I ask a question?” “Sure.” Sonata answered. “What will you be doing today?” Rarity asked. Pinkie turned to Rarity as she put the plates up. “Oh simple, we are going to have a party with just the two of us and watch movies together.” She responded “Yeah, but tomorrow we have to go in for work.” Sonata added. “Oh, well that sounds lovely.” Rarity commented with a smile. “Applejack I think we should go.” Applejack looked at Rarity with confusion. “Huh, but why?” “Um, because I’m sure they want to have some alone time.” Rarity responded. “Hey you can stay for our party if you want?” Pinkie said hopping into the living room. “Oh, well uh, I need Applejack to.. move my dryer.” Rarity said with a lying grin.”its broken and I needed her help.” She says as she pushes Applejack out the door with her. “Huh, but you never told me-“The door closed. “Wow that was weird.” Sonata said. “Sure was.” Pinkie added. ”Hey want to start cooking and watch Sharknado 1-3?” she said with a smile. “The movies are so bad, they are funny.” “Sure, I love funny movies.” Sonata responded. Both Sonata and Pinkie entered the kitchen and took out the ingredients for cupcakes. The two soon started cooking and singing the cupcake song in perfect harmony. As the two girls finished, Pinkie placed the cupcakes in the oven and closed the door. She soon felt Sonata’s tongue licking her face. She giggled and looked at her best friend. “hehe guess it was my turn to clean you.” Sonata said with a smile. “Yeah, hehehe.” Pinkie answered hugging sonata. “We are going to have the best time two friends can ever asked for EVER!” After fifteen minutes the cupcakes were done and both girls went into the kitchen to pull them out. "are they done yet?" sonata asked hyped up. "hehe no silly-nata, we have to wait ten minute so they cool down." Pinkie replied as she put on her oven mit and pulled the cupcakes out of the oven. Ten minutes had finally come and both girls were happy. They put the red and blue icing on the cupcakes and went into the living room. Pinkie pressed the play button as they sat next to each other. The hours passed and the two girl ate all the cupcakes and wtched all three Sharknado movies. "Wow those were really bad hahaha" Sonata said laughing at how corny the movies were. "I know right, the plot has got to be the silliest plot in all plotville hahaha." Pinkie said, putting the movie back in its case. Pinkie soon looked the time and saw it was getting rather late. She and Sonata had work in the morning. "Oh no Sonata, its 7. We need to get a bath. sonata gasped as she soon realized what time it was. "Oh no, I have to be at work at 9 tomorrow for the reopening." "Wait! I got it, how about we take a bath together?" Pinkie suggested. "That way we save water, and can wash each other." "For realzies?" Sonata asked with a smile. "I always wanted to bath with someone, but Aria and Adagio always said no and that you should only do that with a special someone." "Weeeell, I'm you super dooper best friend right?" Pinkie asked. "Sooo I guess that means we CAN bath together!" Sonata shook her head in agreement. The two took a bath together, giggling as they played in the tub. When they were done, they ate dinner and watched tv until nine. Pinkie Pie and Sonata put on their PJs and head for bed. As the two laid next to each other they smiled and said good night to before heading off to sleep. Once they woke up, they found themselves in each other’s arms. They smiled as they said good morning. > Time for Work Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonata Dusk walked off the bus, wearing an orange shirt and black work pants. She then crossed the street to head toward the restaurant. As she was walking toward the building, she saw that the sigh was being covered by a huge white sheet. Sonata stared at the sheet, wondering what was behind it. She was not paying attention to the tall thin woman and the large short woman that was standing in front of her. As Sonata kept walking, she bummed right into the large woman by accident. "Hey watch it!" The large woman said as she and the tall woman turned to see who walked into her. Both the girls gasped as the saw who it was. "Sonata!?" They both said at the same time. Sonata's eyes widen as she saw her two friends that she hadn’t seen in a long time. "Oh my gosh, Reeka and Draggle!" She squeed as she went up and hugged them. She then pulled away and noticed that they to had on an orange shirt and black pants just like her. "Wait, you guys work here to?" Draggle rubbed her head. "Yeah, see Hydia kicked us out." Draggle responded. "How come?" Sonata asked with a shock in her voice. "Because we didn't want to be lawyers." Reeka replied. "But wait, where to you live?" Sonata asked in a concern tone. "They like, live with me dude." Tree hugger answered Sonata’s question as she came walking behind the blue siren. "I and my friend own a Safe House for women. Its to keep them safe." "Safe? from what?" Sonata asked looking at Tree Hugger. "From unradical dude who want to harm them and to make sure no female goes without munchies dude." Tree Hugger said. "I pleaded to Ms. C to give them a chance ya know?" "Well that's nice." Sonata commented with a smile. "Yeah, it’s a nice place and the cook, Sugar Bell, makes great muffins." Reeka said licking her lips. Suddenly the door open and out came the two manager. Ms. Crystalis walked to the rope that was connected to the white sheet and cleared her throat. “Ok my morning crew. Sonata Dusk, Draggle, Reeka, and Tree Hugger. Today is the grand reopening, so let’s do our best and hope this business can be saved got it?” She asked with a stern voice. Everyone shouted in agreement as Ms. Crystalis pulled the rope and reveled the new sigh. The sign read “Queen Taco” in big bold black print. “Ok lets go team.” Hours have passed and no costumer in sight. Flufflepuff sent flyers out to everyone, but due to the restaurants bad reputation, nobody showed up. The clock struck 12 and Ms. Crystalis let out a sigh in defeat. “I guess...we are through.” she said looking at the ground. She felt two hands on each of her shoulder. She turned to see it was Flufflepuff on her right and Tree Hugger on her left. Flufflepuff just blinked a few time and Crystalis just smile. “Yeah, but nobody came. We been open since nine and nobody showed up. “Patience Ms. C, good things will come. I have a pretty narly vibe about today.” Tree Hugger said with a smile. Sonata came from the back. “Yeah, that was that homeless guy who used the bathroom remember?" The siren mentioned. Crystalis just sighed. “Hey, look at that?” Reeka said pointing to the window.” Crystalis looked to see cars and many people walking toward them as if it was a migration. Soon the people opened the doors and soon flooded in. Crystalis was shock to see this many people. Flufflepuff just blinked twice and stuck out her tongue. “I told ya Ms. C, my vibes are never wrong dude.” Tree Hugger commented. “But, wait, how?” Crystalis was speechless. Suddenly Pinkie Pie popped out from the crowd. “Hi Ms. Buggy, you might be wondering why all these people are here huh?” Pinkie asked with a smile. “Well, you see, when Sonata told me that you will be reopening, I decided to let EVERYONE in town know. And not only that , but know Sonata Dusk is the greatest cook in the history of ever. So much so, she even beats my baking. But I don’t mind, because she is my friend and together we both are winners and I REALLY, REALLY, REALLLLLY, wanted Sonata’s first day to go so well and to help your business so Sonata can have a job and keep her friends here at the taco place employed.” “Wow... Thanks Pinkie.” Sonata said with a huge smile. “Ms. Crystalis was still in a trance at how far Pinkie had gone to help her friend. As she was about to say something a costumer yelled. “Hey, were hungry!” Crystalis snapped back into reality and looked back at her crew. “Ok team, lets get to work!” She ordered. The first costumer came up to the register. “Welcome to Queen Taco, home of the Queen Taco, may I take your order?” Tree Hugger asked Sonata was in the back taking care of the orders, while Draggle washed the dishes and Reeka took the food out to the customers. As Sonata cooked, she was zoned out and only focused on taking orders and making the food. Flufflepuff and Ms. Crystalis looked in amazement of the sheer talent and skill the blue girl had. Sonata was taking care of ten orders at once and new what time each one was in her head. Reeka grabbed the finished plates and handed them to the proper costumers. Crystalis looked out into the waiting room and smiled as she heard what they had to say. “Wow, this is the best cheesey food I ever ate in my LIFE!” Snips complemented. “Mmm I like cheese.” Snails said with a stupid expression on his face. “Wow this is the best Enchiladas Verdes I ever ate.” Silver Spoon said, enjoying her dish. “Gah this place was a dump before, I refuse to eat this.” Diamond Tiara said looking at her food in disgust. “Fine, more for me then...mmmmm” Silver Spoon said taking Diamond’s refried beans and loving every bite. “Mmm Iron Will says this deep fried rice is the BEST!” Iron Will commented. “YEAH!” Bulk Biceps said taking a huge bite of his taco. “THIS IS THE GREATEST FISH TACO EVER!” Mean while Sunset and all her friends were sitting at a table eating together. “Wow, I never had Mexican Lasagna before.” Sunset said taking another bite of her food. “This is really good.” “Mm yes these brisket tacos with red cabbage is to DIE for.” Rarity said while having a piece of red cabbage hanging from the corner of her mouth. “Sonata was always the best cook.” Adagio phrased. “Or at least when it came to Mexican food.” “Yeah the only thing she can do right.” Aria said as she stuck the burrito in her mouth. “This taco salad is very nice to.” Fluttershy said with a cute smile. “Yeah, this here.. Um Mexican case-a-dia sure is good.” Applejack said not knowing how to pronounce the word. “She sure can cook.” “She sure CAN!” Pinkie commented while stuffing her face with rice. “ *om nom nom*...mmm Sonata is the best and cutest siren cook I knew he-he-he.” She said with a smile and continued eating. Everyone stared at Pinkie for a moment. Pinkie looked back at each one of the girls. “What? It is good.” She explained. “Pinkie, I have a question.” Adagio said getting done drinking her mountain dew. “What.. What do you think about Sonata?” Pinkie looked at Adagio. “Well she is nice, cute, helpful, and loves my jokes.” Pinkie answered. “Like one time I told her this joke like ten times and she kept laughing." Pinkie replied while stuffing her face with beans. " Why you ask?” “Well, its just.. we wondered if you might love her?” Sunset asked nervously. “Love?” Pinkie asked with a confused look on her face. “You mean like friend love, or sister love?” “No sweetie, I mean... Like how me and Adagio love each other.” Sunset said placing her hand on Adagio’s hand. “She means do you like the idea of eating Sonata’s Ta-MMMPHH!” Adagio covered Aria’s mouth before she could finish. “We mean romantically.” Adagio explained. Pinkie blushed and lowered her head. “Um... well I don’t know. I mean she makes my heart flutter, but I don’t know what love is.” she said. “Pinkie Pie? You never been in love before?” Rarity asked shocked to hear the news. “No.” Pinkie answered. 'Wow, you got something in common with Sonata. "Aria commented. "She to hasn't been in love, poor idiot." "Sorry if Sonata hasn't been with every man in New Jersey." Adagio defended. "But Pinkie, I can tell you that Sonata likes you a lot to, but it is up to you and her to finally decide if you really LOVE each other." "Oh, my Pinkie, I think you and Sonata would be cute..." Fluttershy said. But as she saw Pinkie sink into her seat a little she soon felt bad. "Oh, I'm sorry Pinkie. I didn't mean to put pressure on you. It is totally up to you on who you love." “I think maybe we ought ta change the subject.” Applejack suggested. “Ya makin the girl sweat bullets.” “Sorry Pinkie. We didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” Sunset reassured. “Oh its ok really, I just.. don’t know.” Pinkie replied looking at Sonata talking with the managers. A small smile emerged from her face. “I..I... > Time for Work Pinkie pie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday morning had rolled around and Pinkie Pie walked through the door, getting ready for work. The pink girl had a lot on her mind all weekend about her and Sonata's relationship. Ever since her friends asked about her feelings toward the blue siren, she hadn’t stop thinking about it. However, she did not want to worry Sonata and instead just acted as if nothing was wrong. They still held hands and took baths together as always, but when it was time to sleep, Pinkie would stay up and watch Sonata drift into slumber. She would smile at how cute her friend was sleeping, but a tear also escaped her eye. Pinkie's heart was confused and wanted an answer. Pinkie was told by her parents that homosexuality was an evil act and was no better than killing a baby. She knew Adagio and Sunset were lesbian, but she didn't really see them as evil and thought maybe they weren't affected by it or something. Pinkie didn’t have a full understanding on just why and how such an act was considered evil. Pinkie sighed as Mr. and Ms. Cake came in and greeted her. "Good morning Pinkie Pie." Ms. Cake said as she smiled. "Morning." Pinkie said with a sad tone in her voice. Both Mr. and Ms. Cake looked at each other with a concern look on their faces. "Is everything ok Pinkie?" Mr. Cake asked. "No.." Pinkie responded. She knew she couldn't lie to the cakes. They had known her for years and could tell if something was the matter. "Aw what's wrong dearie?" Ms. Cake asked. Pinkie looked up at her and sighed. "Well.. what is love?" Pinkie asked innocently. "I mean, my friends tell me that it’s a sweet wonderful feeling and that it gives you butterflies in your stomach and you never ever want to be apart from that person way to long because you will miss them so much and I'm scared because I might love someone, but...I don' know if I can love her." The cakes looked at her with a sympathetic expression on their faces as they caught the hint when she said "her." They walked toward the sad pink girl and smiled. "Pinkie, Love knows no gender, love is as pure as a mountain spring." Mr. Cakes told her. "Who you love dearie, is up to you and your heart." Ms. Cake added. "Nobody can take that away from you. You should not be ashamed of who you love. It doesn't matter if they are the same gender or not, your heart belongs to the one You and you alone love." Pinkie looked at the cakes with tears in her eyes. "Really?" Pinkie sniffed. "You mean, I'm not a bad person?" “No sweetie, loving someone doesn't make you a bad person." Mr. Cake replied. "It makes you a good person to love someone for who they are, not what they are. Gender means nothing." Pinkie started crying as she hugged both the Cakes tightly. "Thank you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was 3:00 and Pinkie had two hours left till she went home. She felt much better after the pep talk with the Cakes. But the only issue was, if she was gay, how would her parents react to the news. As she pondered the question, the door rang as two customers came in. It was Lyra and Bon Bon. They were holding hands and smiled as they walked to the counter. "Hi, welcome to sugarcube Corner, would you like to try are double chocolate cupcakes? They are only limited time and $3.99." She smiled. "Oh no thanks." Bon Bon responded with a smile. "We are hoping to get a cake?" "Oh we have tons of those." Pinkie said hyperly. "We got, chocolate, coconut, lemon, strawberry, German chocolate-" She trailed on. "We are hoping for a wedding cake please." Lyra said. "Oh, who’s getting married?" Pinkie asked. "We are!" Both Bon Bon and Lyra said as they held up their engagement rings for Pinkie to see. "Oh my gosh, you guys are lesbians?" Pinkie asked with great shock. "I always thought you were good friends?" "ha-ha oh we haven't been "good friends" since middle school." Bon Bon replied. "Yeah, during high school we finally found out we complete each other." Lyra said holding onto Bon Bon. "And we couldn't be happier." Bon Bon added, kissing Lyra on the cheek. "Wow, that's totally great, but um...can I ask a question?" Pinkie said nervously. "Sure." Bon Bon responded. "Um.. how did your parents act?" Pinkie asked. "You know, when they found out?" Both Lyra and Bon Bon had uneasy looks expressions. “Um.. why do you want to know?” Bon Bon asked. “Yeah.. that’s kind of personal.” Lrya mentioned. “Oh sorry, its just.. well I really like this girl and think I am in love with her, but my parents are kinda old timey and might not approve of this.” Pinkie said. “Oh, well listen Pinkie.” Bon Bon said looking at the pink girl with a serious look. “First you got to make sure you ARE lesbian first and that it isn’t just a random thing.” “Yeah, me and Bon Bon here were never attracted to guys.” Lyra added. “We only liked females and during high school we really loved each other.” “Yes, it’s a commitment.” Bon Bon said. “Are you sure you really love her and are you sure you are that way? Pinkie thought for a moment and never recalled liking boys in her life. She did remember the time she had a serious crush on Rainbow Dash, but just threw it off as puppy love. However, when she became a teenager she remembered having a pool party for Rarity and liking the girls more, but again never acted on it. “Well.. I really think so, I mean, I do like girls more than guys.” Pinkie finally answered. “Well if you are lesbian than fine, but be warned.” Bon Bon said with a stern look. “Some… Parents aren’t as understanding and will even go as far as to hurt you.” She said looked at Lyra while rubbing her back. Lyra closed her eyes as she remembered what her dad did to her when she found out. She soon open her eyes again and looked at Pinkie. “Yeah, and others would just disown you as if you were a dog.” Lyra added as she held Bon Bon’s hand tight. “You gotta make sure its what you are and know that it can have some negative consequences.” Bon Bon stated. “And to be sure you have people there for you in your time of need.” Pinkie looked down and thought for a moment. If her parents did disown her, she knew that she had her friends, her sister Maud, and even the Cakes. She would not be alone, but it was the fact that her mom and dad would disown her if they were to find out. > Time for the Fair Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Months have gone by and Pinkie’s feeling started to grow even more for Sonata. However, she never acted on them due to she was worried that Sonata did not feel the same way. Even still, it did not seem to eat her up because she was ok with being “just friends” with the siren and did not want to ruin their friendship. Sonata was very dear to Pinkie and she would do anything to make the siren smile no matter what. On top of that, they both manage to pay the bills, rent, and food every month without missing a deadline. Pinkie and Sonata worked together as a team and the best team ever in Pinkie’s book. It was the month of fall and both girls were playing in the living room with their new MLP toys. “FWAHAHAHA, Ponies, prepare to meet your untimely DOOM. For I, Lavan, will end Pony Land FWAHAHAHA.” Pinkie said in a deep voice as she held up a Lava monster figurine that she got on Ebay. “Oh yeah, lava brain, we ponies will defeat you with the Rainbow of Light.” Sonata said as she help up a unicorn figurine and started to make laser noises.” “NOOOO!” Pinkie said as she imitated explosion noises. “And Pony Land was save, thanks to MY LITTLE PONIES!” Sonata said as both girls giggled. “That was fun he-he-he-he” Pinkie giggled. “Yeah, I’m glad we got these new mint condish MLP figurines when we did.” Sonata added. “Yeah, Who knew Magen had extra mint condition gen one toys that she didn’t mind selling.” Pinkie said as she smiled at Sonata. As soon as she looked at the siren a random question popped into her head. “Hey.. Sonata, I have something to ask.” “Sure, you can ask me anything, even if it’s totally weird like can we wear bananas as shoes for the day, which we totally can.” Sonata replied as she hoped Pinkie would ask her if they could wear bananas as shoes for the day.. Pinkie thought about the question and was going to say yes until she remembered what she really wanted to ask. “Well, do sirens fall in love?” Pinkie asked. “Well... according to Adagio, we sirens can fall in love and when we do, our hearts connect with our lovers.” Sonata replied. “Wow, but you’re a girl Siren, so does that mean you only connect with guy sirens?” Pinkie asked not bothering to question the heart connecting part. “Oh no, we Sirens are like the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe. We have no gender and can go with either boy or girl.” Sonata explained while using her’s and Pinkie’s second favorite cartoon show as an example. “Wow! That’s really cool!.” Pinkie commented as she smiled. Suddenly, thanks to her ADHD, another thought came into her head. “Oh my gosh, Sonata!” She gasped with panic in her eyes. “Today is the fair and we should totally go!” “For realzies?” Sonata questioned. “Do we still have enough “fun money” to spend?” Pinkie dug into her hair and pulled out the “Fun Jar” that she always kept with her. As she did she looked and saw she had a hundred dollar bill left. “Yeah, we can totally have fun, plus we can invite our friends!” She said eagerly. Pinkie then grabbed her cell phone out of her pocket and dialed up her friends. After five minutes she was done. Sonata looked at her with a cheerful smile. “Well?” “Well.... Adagio and Sunset are still working at the museum. Applejack is working today at the brewery. Rarity is on a date with Trenderhoof, and Rainbow Dash is still in the Air Force.” Pinkie said with a disappointed expression on her face. She soon turned her frown upside down. “But Fluttershy is open and she wants to bring her date with her and I said ok.” “That’s great, but shouldn’t we get ready first?” Sonata asked looking at herself and Pinkie who were still in their Pjs. Pinkie and Sonata were already in the entrance and waiting for Fluttershy and her boyfriend to show up. “Oh no what if Fluttershy got lost?” Sonata asked in a panic. “Don’t be silly, sillynata.” Pinkie patted Sonata on the head. “Fluttershy knows where the fair is. We use to come here all the time.” she said as she looked to see Fluttershy with a very built man beside her holding her hand. “See there she is.” She pointed. “Oh, are we late?” Fluttershy asked concerned. “I’m sorry if we are late.” “Don’t be silly. Your never late for FUN!” Pinkie replied. “Now who is ready to HAVE FUN!!” “YEAH! WE ARE!” Bulk Biceps roared as he flexed. The girls and Bulk Biceps played all sorts of games such as dunking Milky Way into Milk instead of water for charity, also the bean bag toss, bottle hit, goldfish netting, and even shooting a picture of Nazi leader Grogar, with a BB gun. Pinkie Pie had won many of the games and gave all the prizes to Sonata as gifts. However, Bulk Biceps was able to dunk Milky Way into the milk and won Fluttershy a huge stuffed bear and which he received a kiss. The girls soon walked over to the Nightmare House. “Come one, come all and see the most terrifying, most deadly hunted ride of your little lives.” Trixie said boasting. It is so scary, that you will lose your minds! HA-HA-HA!” she said as lighting effects came on with pyrotechnics. Pinkie squeed as she saw the attraction. “Oh my gosh! We need to go on that RIDE!” “It look...mmm scary.” Fluttershy says shaking. “Can’t we go on the tea cups?” Bulk Biceps held her close with one arm. “I WILL PROTECT FLUTTERSHY!” He said comforting her. “Come on, it will be fun Flutters, beside Bulk will protect you from the brain eating leeches or whatever may be in there.” Sonata added with a smile. “Mm..ok” Fluttershy gave in. Trixie saw the group coming and gasped. “What..what are you doing here?” Trixie demanded. “We are here for the ride silly.” Pinkie answered. “Heeey, aren’t you that show off, who always loses?” Sonata asked with a confused look. Trixie gritted her teeth. “The grrreat and powerful Trixie never loses. You losers just cheat and make Trixie look bad.” She stated. “Really? That’s not what it looks like on the winning side?” Pinkie remarked, while not meaning to sound sarcastic. “Gah, just pay the ticket and get out of my sight, I still haven’t forgot what you did to me that one time.” Trixie glared at Pinkie. “Huh?” Pinkie thought for a second. “Oooh you mean that time the school saw your underwear and were laughed at for a month. I told you that was an accident, I didn’t know the fan and water bucket was aiming your way.” Pinkie apologized. Trixie just looked at her and gritted her teeth harder. “They called me “Trixie Thong” for a month thanks to you.” She scowled as she grabbed everyone’s ticket. The girls got settled in and the ride soon began. As the cart moved passed the black curtains, the show began and out came a demon with pale skin and pins in his head. “I will tear your soul apart.” The animatronics said as it looked at Fluttershy. The poor girl started to shake and hold on tightly to Bulk Biceps. Pinkie and Sonata just giggled and made faces at the creature. As they went in deeper, they saw a creature with knives for fingers, a zombie with a machete and hockey mask. They soon saw a cute little doll. Fluttershy was at ease as the doll asked if it wanted to play. When fluttershy said yes the doll held up a knife covered in blood and spun its head to show its evil side. “LETS PLAY! HE-HE-HE-HE” The animatronics screamed. Fluttershy cried as she held on even tighter to Bulk Biceps. “No more.. Pleeeease make it stop.” Fluttershy whimpered as she buried her face in her boyfriend’s chest. They soon came across other creatures like a giant tomato with teeth, a green ghoulie in a toilet with two other Ghoulies, several demonic toys, and even round little monster with red eyes. Sonata and Pinkie were having a blast as they couldn’t stop laughing at the monsters. As they went through, they soon came across giant bees and bugs. Bulk Biceps start to cower and held Fluttershy tightly. Fluttershy on the other hand stopped being afraid and started to enjoy the giant creatures. She was rather fascinated with the detail they put in the giant black widow and roaches. The ride soon ended and the girls got off, with Bulk Biceps having wet himself due to phobia of bugs. “That was fun Trixie, thanks.” Pinkie said smiling as she walked away. “Fun? You were suppose to be afraid and cower.” Trixie commented back. “Nope, it was cool how you got the monsters to look so evil and blood thirsty.” Sonata said walking with the group. “Oh, and that clown was the best part.” “Yeah!” Pinkie agreed. Trixie soon gritted her teeth and looked to see the other costumers. She soon had a blank expression on her face as she realized what Sonata had just said. “Clown?... there is no clown in Trixie’s Nightmare Ride.” The day progressed as the group had more and more fun. It was soon night time and they wanted to go on one more ride before going back home. “Ok Fluttershy, what ride do you wanna go on last?” Pinkie asked. “Well.. I would like to go on the Ferris wheel.” Fluttershy replied with a smile. “It seems so romantic.” She mentioned, as she held Bulk’s hand. “YEAH FOR ROMANCE!” Bulk added. “That sounds like a great idea Flutters.” Sonata said, holding Pinkie’s hand. “Come on Pink, let’s go on the roller coaster and get to the top and see the world.” “Ok let’s go.” Pinkie squeed, as she and the rest of the group ran to the Ferris Wheel. The group soon got the Ferris Wheel and gave the tickets to the man. As Sonata and Pinkie got on the smiled at each other and held hands. The ride soon started and both girls were enjoying the sights as they got higher and higher. Once they were at the top, the ride stopped. Pinkie and Sonata looked into the sky and smile at how pretty the night was and lovely the full mon was. Sonata looked at Pinkie and saw the moon lit on her cute pink face. The siren smiled as she rubbed the pink girls hand. “Pinkie?” Sonata asked. Pinkie looked at Sonata who was smiling at her and noticed the moon light on her cute blue face. “Yes Sonata?” She replied. “I.. I..” Sonata looked deep into Pinkie’s eyes and then lean in and kissed her on the lips. After a few minute the two pulled away. “I love you Pinkie Pie, for realzies.” she said with a smile. Pinkie was shocked to hear those words come out of Sonata’s mouth. “I love you to, I have for a long time.” She commented. “I know, but I wanted to wait for a special time though.” Sonata said. “You knew? But how?” Pinkie questioned. “I’m a siren silly ha-ha. Whenever you and I sing, I could hear the love inside your heart.” Sonata responded. “We sirens have that ability to understand someone through song.” “Oh, ok he-he, I never knew that.” Pinkie said as she felt her heart beat faster. She was so glad to hear that Sonata loved her to. . Sonata then leaned in and Kiss Pinkie again as the ride lowered. When they got off they held hand and looked into each others eyes and smiled. When Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps got off they saw Pinkie and Sonata. “Oh, what’s going on?” Fluttershy asked innocently. Both girls looked at her and smiled. They then hugged each other. “We are GIRLFRIENDS HE-HE-HE!” They screamed. > Time to Celebrate Sonata dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was an annoying rhythmical knocking at the door, as Aria Blaze begrudgingly walked up to open it. She sighed with annoyance as she knew only two people who knocked this way. She turned the knob and opened the door to see her nightmare come true, as both Pinkie Pie and Sonata Dusk where standing there with smiles on their faces and holding hands. 'HI ARIA!" Both girls screamed with joy. Aria let out a sigh and rubbed the bridge of her nose as she mutter "Oh, god.." under her breathe. She then looked back at them with an annoyed look. "What do you two stooges want?" "We have NEWS!!" Pinkie said with cheer in her voice as she jumped happily in place. Aria raised an eye brow. "You’re moving far away and never coming back?" She said with some hope in her tone. "No silly, we are GIRLFRIENDS!" Sonata explained. "kay?..." Aria said without any care. "Don't you wanna celebrate?" Pinkie asked as she stopped jumping. "mmm no, I mean seriously, your dating. Why is that a cause to celebrate?" Aria asked. "Because we are in love." Sonata answered. "Yeah and we were hoping you'd give us matching tattoos?" Pinkie asked looking at Aria with a huge grin. Aria looked at both girls with an even more annoyed look on her face. "Ok, first get in here, the AC is running and I'm responsible for the electric bill and don't want to pay one hundred and thirty dollars for it." She ordered. Both girls walked in and sat on the couch together as Aria sat in the chair in front of them. The purple siren let out another sigh of pure annoyance as she asked. "Why in the hell do you two pudding heads want a tattoo for? First off its cliché and overly done to death. I literally get 10 clients a week wanting a lovers name on their arm." She question as she then turned her attention to Sonata. "And you, you cry at the very sight of needles and can't handle pain. What do you think a tattooing needle is gonna feel like?" She finished. Sonata looked upset as she pouted. "HEY! I am not afraid of needles." Aria then raised an eye brow. "Oh yeah? Then how come Adagio had to become Mamadagio and comfort you because the doctor had to give you a flu shot?" Sonata pouted her lip and crossed her arms. “Because, the doctor was really mean and didn’t give me a lollipop after.” Aria’s eye twitched as her expression became that of confusion. “The…lollipops, were for the kids, not a supposedly 17 year old girl you ditz” “Yeah, but I wanted a loli….” Sonata replied back. “Yeah, lollipops are the best part about going to the doctors anyway. She deserved a loli after being a good girl and getting a painful needle.” Pinkie commented as she defended Sonata. “And besides, last week she stepped on a lego and only cried for ten minutes.” “Wow…that’s impressive.” Aria added. “That is ten minutes less then how long she usually cried after stepping on a lego” she mentioned as she looked impressed. “However, you still haven’t answered the big question. How will you be paying for this outrageous random idea of yours?” The purple siren asked looking at Pinkie. Pinkie’s expression turned into confusion as she realized her idea was not only random, but very rushed. She spent the “Fun Jar” money on the fair and could not afford anything else until next month. “um…I don’t know. I guess we got carried away.” “Yeah, I could tell. You fruit brains rushed to hard into this. And besides a tattoo is a very serious thing. I would only give my frie…*clears throat* I mean you two morons a tattoo if you were certain about getting one.” Aria commented as she caught herself before she said the word friend. “Also, I don’t really care, but do the others know?” She asked. “Yeah, we texted them before we came here.” Sonata replied. “Yeah, I was going to throw a huge party and celebrate our new friendship/love, but sadly I don’t have the money and everyone is at work. However, how lucky are the three of us to have the day off.” Pinkie said as she felt a little better. “Yeah, hey are thought you lived other girls?” Sonata asked. “Well, Vinyl went to live with her best friend Octavia. However, Trixie is still here… sadly.” Aria replied. “We have those Crystal Prep girls, Sour Pants and Lemon Zest.” “Oh, what does Trixie and Sour Sweet do?” Pinkie asked. “Trixie works at Mousie Cheese, as a stage magician.” Aria responded. “Oh my god, I love Mousie Cheese.” Pinkie squeed. “Me and Maud go there every year for my birthday. Aria’s expression turned into disgust. “Yeah, I know. You invite all of us for your birthday there.” “Hey, I thought you like Beavy the Beaver?” Sonata asked. “You said the two of you go out to the dumpsters and.. get high as a kite… whatever that means.” Aria’s expression soon turned into a grin as she did like the loser in the beaver suit. Even if it was only cause he had the good weed. “yeah, I do like the loser hehe. Well anyway, Sour Panty works at Evol-Mart, as some cashier.” “Wow, that suck for her.” Pinkie commented. “Yeah, that place blows.” Sonata added. Suddenly the door opened and in came Trixie in her magician outfit and covered with pizza sauce stains. The blue magician look really upset and annoyed with her day. She closed the door as she let out a grunt in disgust as she took of her cape and hat. “HEY TRIXIE!!” Pinkie Pie said as she smiled at her. “How was work?” Trixie looked at the pink girl. “The great and powerful TRRRIXIE’S day was crap.” Trixie responded. “Oh no, what happened?” Sonata asked with concern in her voice. “Aria grinned as she looked at the magician. “Let me guess, did a little kid make poopy in the ball pit again?” She said with a snicker. Trixie glared at Aria. “No, the great and powerful Trrixie was puked on by a kid with down syndrome.” Trixie said with disgust. “Trixie wanted to scream at the brat, but his mother was behind him. So Trixie bit her lip and washed her pants.” Aria laughed at Trixie’s humiliation as the blue magician gritted her teeth and walked away, going to her bedroom to change her clothes. As the three girls were talking about random things, Trixie came back out in her crescent moon PJs. As she sat on her bean bag chair she looked at Pinkie and Sonata. “May Trixie asked what brings you here to visit Aria?” she asked. Pinkie and Sonata smiled as Pinkie grabbed Sonata’s hand. “We are GIRLFRIENDS!!!” Both girls squeed. Trixie looked amazed as she heard the news. “Well, the Trixie congratulates you on your lesbian love.” Trixie stated. “However, I meant why were you visiting Aria? I mean, nobody ever comes to see her.” Aria gritted her teeth as she looked at Trixie who was grinning right back at her. “Your boyfriend only loves you because he has a weird magic fetish.” Aria snapped back. “Hmmp, at least my boyfriend isn’t hand held and battery operated.” Trixie commented. Aria, glared at Trixie. “At least my smallest vibe is bigger than your boyfriend’s tiny-“ “YATZEE!” Pinkie said randomly for no reason, interrupting Aria. Both Aria and Trixie looked at Pinkie in confusion for her complete randomness. As Aria was about to say something Sour Sweet through the door with a cheery look on her face. Pinkie saw her and smiled. “Hey, Sour how was your day?” Sour Sweet looked at the pink girl with a cheery smile. “Oh it was fantastic, thank you for asking.” She said as her expression turned into anger. “I just want my boss to die.” “That’s nice.” Sonata said with a smile. Sour Sweet looked at all the girls in the room with the tv turned off. She didn’t really understand why they were all in the living room and not watching the television “So, what’s going on?” She asked looking a bit confused as to why the two girls were here. “Is Aria finally going to have an intervention about her attitude?” she added sinisterly. Aria grunted as she looked at Sour. “No Sour Pants, these two pudding brains are girlfriends. So they thought they would tell me because they have nothing better to do.” She said annoyed. Sour smiled as she looked at Aria. “Oh that’s sweet, they love each other.” She commented as her expression turned angry. “I told you not to call me that outside of the bedroom.” She demanded. “Wait.. Sour Pants.. bedroom?” Pinkie said out load in a confused manner. After five seconds her head buzzed “OH MY GOSH.. you two are a couple?!” Pinkie asked cheerfully. Trixie, Aria, and Sour all looked at one another before busting out laughing. “That is the best thing Trixie heard all day hahahaha” “That is soooo funny hahaha” Sour Sweet mention before changing her happy expression into an angry serious one. “No we are not a couple.” After Aria stopped laughing she looked at Pinkie Pie. “No, however, we do have…um some fun.” Aria grinned. “Oh, you mean like hide and seek and, and I Spy?” Sonata asked with a smile. The three girls looked at the clueless blue siren with a grin. “Yes, something like that hehehe.” Aria commented. Suddenly, Lemon Zest came in from the other room, stretching her arms as she let out a yawn. The girl just had woken up to get ready for the day. “Hey, whats up girls? What I miss?” she asked. “Oh, Aria was just telling us you all love to play hide and seek.” Sonata answered with a smile on her face. Lemon Zest was confused. “Wait what?” “Don’t worry.” Aria stated. Lemon still looked confused but didn’t bother with details. She looked back at Pinkie and Sonata. “So what brings you girls to our side of town?” She asked. Sonata and Pinkie held hands again. “We are girlfriend and girlfriend.” They both said in perfect harmony. “Yes they are a sweet couple.” Sour added. “Their cheery love is making me sick.” She added sourly. “Oh that’s rad dudes.” Lemon said. “So you girls celebrated?” Pinkie and Sonata looked at each other then back at Lemon Zest. “Sadly no. We don’t have the money.” Pinkie said disappointed. Lemon grinned. “Oh dudes, you don’t need money to celebrate.” “You don’t?” Sonata questioned. ‘hehe no dudes.” Lemon replied. “All you need is some..hehe happiness.” Pinkie and Sonata light up with excitement. “Oh you mean cupcakes and cotton candy?” Pinkie asked. “No no, wait here. I’ll be back.” Lemon Zest said as she went into her room. After five seconds past the pink girl came out with a bag. Trixie, Aria, and Sour all grinned as the new what it was. However, Pinkie and Sonata didn’t know. The two girls looked confused as Lemon started rolling the stuff up. “Hey what’s that?” Lemon looked at the two girls with a grin. “It’s happiness. Think of it as a celebration for you two becoming a couple.” Lemon said as she got done with it. “It.. it will make you feel happy.” She stated as she lit the joint. She then took two huffs, and then two more as she held in the smoke. After ten second she exhaled and had a huge smile on her face. “How nice your high.” Sour said as her face soon to angry. “Stop hogging the joint and pass the wealth.” Lemon handed Sour the joint. Sour than took two huffs of her own and held in the smoke. She then gave it to Trixie. Trixie took her huffs before handing it to Aria. Before Aria huffed it she looked at Sonata. “Are you sure you can handle it? I know you’re the worst when it comes to being cool.” She asked with a grin on her face. “Yeah, I can. For realizes.” Sonata replied annoyed. As Aria took her share she handed it to Pinkie. The pinkie fluffy headed girl took a huff and started to choke on it due to she wasn’t use to smoking period. Sonata was worried until Pinkie stopped and looked around the room. She started to giggle. Pinkie looked at Sonata with a smile. “You look cute in the colors of the rainbow Sona, hehehe.” She said as she handed her the joint. Sonata started to get worried cause she never tried anything like this before. The blue siren brought the joint to her lips and huffed the smoke. After she inhale she tried to hold in the smoke, but failed and started to cough. Aria laughed at her. After a minute Sonata was done coughing and felt funny. “Hey you ok dude?” Lemon Zest asked looking at Sonata while taking another huff. Sonata looked at Lemon Zest who for some reason had six black eyes and six arms while holding a tea pot and cups. Sonata eyes widen as she rubbed her eyes to make sure she was just seeing things. As she opened her eyes back, she started to trip even more. “aw Sano you ok? You look blue in the face pffft hahaha.. get it?” Pinkie said as she laughed. But all Sonata saw was Pinkie Pie with a smiling skull for a face. “What I tell ya. She couldn’t handle it hahahaha” Aria said mocking Sonata. However, all Sonata saw was Aria with scales and an eye patch with fish fin ears. “HA, and you all thought the great and powerful Trrreixie was too weak for weed.” Trixie commented as she too had a skull for a face. “Sonata was getting creeped out. Not only was Lemon Zest a spider woman. But Aria was a fish woman and Trixie and Pinkie Pie were skeletons. She looked at Sour Sweet who had flower petals around her face. Sonata really started to feel uneasy. However, after a while Aria was shaking the blue siren to wake up while Pinkie Pie held her hand. Pinkie was concerned about her love. After a few minutes the siren finally woke up in a panic. Everyone was happy to see she was finally up and ok. “Oh my gosh Sona, you took one puff and fell asleep.” Pinkie said worried. “You did just like Sour Sweet did.” Sonata looked beyond confused. “Wait..I was asleep? But..but I had this dream. Adagio was a goat” “HAHAHA, nice.” Aria said laughing at the idea of Adagio being a goat. “Yeah.. and Sunset was some lizard scientist.” Sonata confessed. “haha wow dude, that stuff really did a number on you.” Lemon commented. “Don’t worry about it. The stuff was meant to cause some trippy dreams. This one time I had a dream that I was a pony.” She said trying to comfort the troubled siren. Aria then looked at the time. “Hey shouldn’t you be catching the city bus? It’s almost getting late?” “No worries.” Lemon interrupted. “I’ll drive them home.” “Are you sure?” “Pinkie asked. “Yeah, no problem, besides were friends so it’s all good dude.” Lemon replied. As Sonata and Pinkie said there byes to the girls they started walking out to Lemon Zest thunderbird. Once Sonata and Pinkie got in, the blue girl’s cell went off. “Hey you got a text Sona?” Pinkie asked as she fastened her seat belt. “Yeah.” Sonata replied as she pulled out her cell phone. Once she opened it she saw a text that read Come to work tomorrow there is a serious emergency. > Time to impress Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Sonata was walking toward her job, she couldn’t help but think about the text she received yesterday from Ms. Crystalis, telling her to come into work due to some kind of emergency. The blue Siren spent all day yesterday worrying about if she had done something wrong, like not cleaning the stove hoods. Even though it was true, she really, really hated cleaning the slimy gunky hoods after getting done for the day. She worried that she would get into trouble for not doing her job properly. However, her worries were melted away when Pinkie Pie caught her being sad. The pink girl spent all day making the blue siren feel better. Sonata couldn’t help but smile as she remembered what her sweet girlfriend did for her all day, just so she was happy. However, Sonata was standing infront on the “Queen Taco’s” restaurant and all her worries started to surface again. The siren started to turn the knob and as she opened the door, Ms. Crystalis was pacing the floor, with a panicky look on her face. As soon as Crystalis saw Sonata, She sighed deeply in relief and walked up to the siren. “Oh, thank God you’re finally here.” She said with fright in her eyes. Sonata’s eyes started to get teary, as her heart raced. She was sure she was in big trouble. “I’m sorry I didn’t wash the stove hoods like I should.” She said sniffling. “I promise I’ll clean them.” Crystalis raised an eyebrow in confusion as she had no clue what was going on. “No, no, sweet heart, that’s ok.” She comforted the crying siren. “That’s not why I wanted you here today.” Sonata started to perk up and wiped the tears out of her eyes. “It.. It isn’t?” She questioned. “No” Crystalis replied. “The food critic comes today at 10 o’clock sharp.” She finished. “The food critic?” Sonata said in confusion. “Who is that?” Crystalis started to calm down, even though this was a very huge deal at hand. “Mr. Rutherford, is a world renown food critic. His words can promote a restaurant to glory, and success.” Sonata smiled. “Oh wow that sounds great. I’m sure Mr. Lutherford would love our Taco restaurant.” She complimented. Crystalis let a small smile appear on her face. “That’s Rutherford, not Lutherford. Also, while his words can bring a small business like ours into the spotlight, and to become the finest restaurant in town,” Crystalis’s smile turned into a frown as she hesitated. “It can also... destroy a business.” Sonata’s smile soon turn into shock. “Wait.. Then why is he coming here?” She asked as she gulped. “You see, after you came to work for us, our food has become the best of the best in town.” Crystalis replied. “So, it was only a matter of time before word caught his ear. I was gonna tell you last week, but Flufflepuff didn’t want to worry you.” The siren soon started to tremble and sweat. “I-I’m not worried heh heh heh..” She said, feeling the pressure of having someone coming and telling that the food could be good or bad, and if he was to dislike the taste, it would be her fault that they go out of business. “Crystalis looked at the girl with concern. “Listen, Sonata. You have nothing to worry about.” She comforted. “Your cooking skills are the best. No one can cook a burrito to taste like God himself made it, like you can.” Sonata soon stop shaking as she realized that she did make a pretty mean burrito. “Ok, I’ll cook for Rutherhoard and bring this business up.” Sonata said with much enthusiasm. Crystalis face palmed. “That’s Ruther-FORD, R-u-t-h-e-r-f-o-r-d, not hoard. She said as she took her palm off her face and looked back at the siren. “Ok, well we have plenty of time to spare. He comes at ten, so how about you freshen up and cook us a dish?” Crystalis asked. Sonata agreed and went into the back with Crystalis to fix up a dish. As she went into the kitchen, she was greeted by her three co-workers and manager, Tree Hugger, Reeka, and Draggle, who were waiting for her to come in the back, as well as Flufflepuff who just stuck out her tongue. “Dude, are you, like totally psyched? Your totally gonna blow the MANs taste buds away with your radical cooking skills.” Tree Hugger commented. Sonata smiled as she walked toward the stove, getting her ingredients prepared. “Yes, but how am I going to blow his taste out? I mean, wouldn’t that be bad?” She asked with concern. “It was a figure of speech.” Crystalis replied. “Yeah, it means he is gonna love your cooking as much as us.” Reeka said as she ate some of the left over beans. “Yeah, you have nothing to worry about.” Draggle added. “I mean sure if you fail, then we will be out of a job and most likely homeless, but you got this.” Sonata’s heart stopped as she heard what Draggle had said. All the fears and pressure started coming back to her. Draggle was right, if she screwed this up, even if the smallest taste isn’t to Mr. Rutherford’s liking. He could have this place closed down. Which meant everyone would be without a jod. Her and Pinkie would most likely struggle to make ends meet. The pressure started to pile on her. The siren was stiff in place with a worried expression on her face. Everyone looked at Draggle with a angry look, well all but Tree Hugger, who had the same spaced out expression on her face. “What? What I say?” Draggle asked not knowing what she had done. Crystalis put her hand on Sonata’s shoulder. “Listen, you got nothing to worry about. Ok?” She remarked. Flufflepuff put her hand on Sonata’s other shoulder and stared at the girl. She then blinked twice. Soon Sonata calmed down and began cooking her dish. After, twenty minutes the siren was finally done and brought out the dish to Crystalis and Flufflepuff. As both managers took their respective forks and cut a piece of the casadia. As they took a bite, Crystalis’s expression turned into disgust. While Flufflepuff’s expression stayed the same. Fluffle, just took her napkin and spat the food out. She then stuck out her tongue. “Gah, Sonata?” Crystalis gagged. “This.. This is terrible.” Crystalis commented. “What?” Sonata replied with shock in her face. Crystalis looked at the siren. “This dish, you added to much pepper.” She pointed out. Sonata looked down at the ground. “I-I-I don’t know what happened.” She responded in a sad tone. “I mean, I thought I was ok when I started cooking.” “This isn’t good, and we have an hour till Mr. Rutherford gets here.” Crystalis said with panic in her voice. “What are we to do?” She asked hoping someone would have an answer. “I got it dudes.” Tree Hugger said with a smile. “You?” Crystalis asked. “Yeah, Ms. Swiss Legs.” Tree Hugger replied. “You see, her chakra is like clogged with bad vibes and needs to be cleanse in a sea of harmony with love and peace.” Everyone in the room was absolutely confused by what Tree Hugger had just said. Ms. Crystalis looked hard at the hippie girl. “Tree Hugger, you know smoking weed is illegal right?” She asked. Tree Hugger raised an eye brow in confusion. “Huh? No dude, I don’t touch the stuff. It kinda disturbs my chakra flow.” She responded. “But, you always act so... high all the time.” Reeka commented. “Ha ha, nah dude, I am just naturally chill. I released all my bad mojo years ago when I found myself.” She stated. “Ok, well anyway.” Crystalis said, getting back on track. “What is your plan?” She asked. “Simple dudes, we meditate.” Tree Hugger replied. “Meditate?” Draggle said. “What’s that?” “Meditation is the key to open the doors of your mind and soul. It is to become at peace with the whole universe and to soothe you mind and body in the blanket of the cosmos.” Tree Hugger said. “Oh my gosh, that sound awesome.” Sonata said with a smile. “We can go into space?” “That sound kind terrifying if you asked me.” Draggle added. “I mean, wouldn’t we die in space?” Crystalis and Reeka both face palmed. “Ha ha, no dudes.” Tree Hugger replied. “It’s like a metaphor.” After Tree Hugger had explained a little bit more about what meditation is, the girls went into the break room and sat down. The four girls all sat in chairs in a circle. “Ok, please try to hurry this up. We don’t have much time till he gets here.” Crystalis ordered. Tree Hugger nodded in agreement and turned to look at the girls. “Ok dudes, get comfortable.” She said, as everyone stood up straight in their chairs. “Ok, now relax your body, and close your eyes.” She ordered, as the girls did just that. “Ok, now breathe in slowly with your stomach, and go to your happy place.” She finished. “Hey wait” Sonata blurted out.” How do we breathe with our stomachs? I mean don’t we breathe with our lungs?” She asked. “Hey yeah, and what is a “Happy Place,” suppose to be?” Draggle asked. “We aren’t aloud to leave until our shift is over. “ “No, just breathe slowly dudes heh heh heh.” Tree Hugger responded to Sonata’s question. “And a happy place is like your habitat. It’s a sanctuary that you make for yourself. Feel that habitat up with things you like and make you feel at peace with yourself.” She said, responding to Draggle’s question. The girls all closed their eyes and breathed in and out slowly as they were told to do. Their minds were cleared as the slowly brought in their “happy Place.” Reeka smiled as she found her happy place. It was a place of Doughnut Joe’s brother, Greasy Joe’s double stacked, seven bacon hamburger slathered in mayonnaise. The hamburgers were raining from the sky as she kept on eating the greasy delights. Next, was Draggle’s “Happy Place.” Draggle found herself in a field of sunflowers, on a sunny day. The air was sweet and calm, as Draggle was dancing in the field singing about confidence. Then their was Tree hugger, who found herself in the middle of the universe. She was sitting there, taking it all in. The galaxy was hers to admire, as she was unraveling the meaning of life. Lastly, was Sonata Dusk, who found herself in a fish aquarium. She had always wanted to be a fish in some beautiful aquarium. She had all she needed. Treasure chest, sunken ship to explore and beautiful shiny rocks on the floor to admire. She swam in her little world feeling gleeful. However, she soon stopped until she realized it was missing something. Something very important to her and it was not in her little world. But before she could add what it was, Crystalis came in and woke them from their trance. “Hey, its time.” Crystalis said. “Are you ready Sonata?” she asked. Sonata smiled “Yeah, I am. No problem.” She lied as she still kinda felt uneasy about this. “Good, he just came in.” Crystalis responded with a smile. Flufflepuff opened the door and greeted Mr. Rutherford. The man was huge and bulky, he stood around 300 pounds and was with two other men of the same height and weight. “GREETINGS PINK FUZZY MANAGER!!” He roared. “I AM THE FOOD CRITIC MR. RUTHERFORD.” He bowed. “Oh, your here Mr. Rutherford.” Crystalis said, coming from out of the kitchen.”May I say this is an honor having you come here to our little restaurant.” She sucked up. “Hmmm, YES, ME HEARD PLACE WAS BEST.” He shouted as he walked into the restaurant, looking around. “NOT BAD PLACE. LOOK PRETTY.” Crystalis smiled “Thank you so much, please have a seat.” She suggested. “ME TAKE WINDOW SEAT!” He roared again. Flufflepuff walked the men to a nice corner window seat. As the man sat down, Crystalis walked over to them with a menu. “Please choose anything you like.” She suggested. “ME WANTS SURPRISE.” He demanded. “SURPRISE ME WITH FINE FOOD. ME LIKE, ME SAY GOOD WORD FOR BUSINESS.” She commented. “BUUUT, IF ME NO LIKE...ME SAY BUSINESS IS BAD!!” He yelled as his hair over his eyes flared up. Crystalis gulped and she said ok and went into the back. As Crystalis went to the kitchen, everyone was looking right at her. “Man, that guy is such a loud mouth.” Reeka said, eating what appeared to be a stick of cheese. “Yeah, he sound really mean.” Draggle added with a gulp. “Just like our mom.” “I agree, but if he ok’s this place with don’t have to see that Yak bastard again.” She commented. She then looked at Sonata and walked over to the siren. She placed her hands onto the girl’s shoulders and looked into her eye. “Listen, Sonata, whatever happens.. Happens ok? Don’t be scared cause of what might happen. Just try your best and remember, we all love you.” Crystalis said with a motherly tone in her voice before given Sonata a hug for good luck. Sonata felt a little better, but this wasn’t about pleasing the food critic. No, she wanted to win this in order to help her friends stay off the streets and to help the business become successful. The siren was determined to make sure Crystalis’s and Flufflepuff’s dream would still stand after this day, and many others. However, as the siren walked to the stove, the fears started to come back. She didn’t understand why though. After the meditation and pep talk, it still didn’t work. Sonata stood there with sweat coming from her forehead. She didn’t know why this was happening to her. She froze as she thought about what to cook. “Hey, go to your happy place dude.” Tree Hugger said, putting her hand on Sonata’s shoulder.”Remember what makes you happy and filled with love dude.” As Tree hugger said the words “filled with love,” she closed her eyes and went back into her Aquarium paradise. As she swam, looking for the one person who fills her heart with nothing but live, a hand touched her shoulder. And there, was Pinkie Pie in mermaid form. “Hey Silly-nata, hehe” MerPinkie said with a smile. “MerSonata gasped and hugged her love tightly in her arms. “Oh, Pinkie, I’m so so worried.” She exclaimed. “What is it?” MerPinkie asked with concern. “I’m afraid, that I might mess up, and screw up badly. I mean I know Ms. Crystalis says its ok if I lose cause they can just move else where, but I want to help my friends so bad.” MerSonata replied with a sad face. “Aw, Your not gonna fail” MerPinkie responded “I’m not?” MerSonata questioned. “No your not, cause I believe in you.” MerPinkie responded. “Well, the real Pinkie believes in you and loves you. You can do this, because you are the best cook there is, no matter what.” She said going in for a kiss. Both MerPinkie and MerSonata held each other in sweet embrace as they kiss passionately. Sonata soon woke up from her trance with a smile on her face. Her heart was filled with love and warmth. You ok Sonata?” Draggle asked. Sonata looked at her with a smile “Yeah, lets do this. After about twenty minutes of waiting, Mr. Rutherford grew impatient and slammed his hands down onto the table. “ME GETTING TIRED OF WAITING!!” She screamed. “WE LEAVE –“ he stopped before he could finish. Flufflepuff was looking at him with no expression on her face. The two engaged in a staring contest, until Fluffle titled her neck and made a cracking sound. Mr. Rutherford started to sweat and tremble as he sat back down. “U-u-um, we w-w-w-wait longer” He said with fear in his voice. Flufflepuff smiled and went to the kitchen to see if Sonata was done. As she left one of the men leaned in. “What wrong?” he asked with concern. “Me.. Me saw six circle of hell..” He answered as he gulped. After a few seconds of waiting, Crystalis came out with a simple burrito, and placed in on the table. The three men looked bewildered at just how simple the dish was. Most chefs try to make all kinds of outrageous and over the top dishes. But this was truly a first. “MEN, CHECK TO MAKE SURE PERFECT TEMPERATURE!” He demanded his two guys to do. Both men stuck a thermometer in it, along with taking all sorts of measurements and stuff to the burrito. After a few seconds were done, it was time to try the burrito. Mr. Rutherford took his fork and cut a piece of the burrito. He then place the piece into his mouth and began to chew. As he did, both Crystalis and Sonata, who was standing outside the kitchen watching, with anticipation. After, about twenty bites, he finally swallowed. His two men looked at him, waiting for him to say yay, or neigh. However, a tear fell from Mr. Rutherford’s left eye. The two men, along with Crystalis were confused. Soon the mountain of a man started to cry. Both men looked at each other in confusion. “Um, what is going on?” Crystalis asked? “We have no clue.” one of the man said. “This first time he cried.” Man two added. After ten seconds of crying, Mr. Rutherford calmed down. “This.. This dish..” He said choking up. “It, take me back to when me was youngun.” He said, wiping the tear off his face. “Me gran-mama, made favorite nephew, favorite dish.” “So, you like?” Crystalis asked. “No...me not like.” Mr. Rutherford replied. There was a dead silence for a brief second. “ME LOVE!!!!!” He said, going back to his regular tone. “THIS RESTAURANT IS BEST RESTAURANT!!!” Crystalis jumped up and down as she cheered. Sonata and the others all came out and joined in on the cheer. “TELL ME, WHO MAKE GOOD DISH?!” He asked with a smile. Crystalis smile as she showed him, Sonata Dusk, who was super hyped. “This is her Mr. Rutherford.” Crystalis said with phrase. “YOU MAKE ME PROUD BLUE COOK!” He commented. “THANK YOU FOR FOOD!” “No, thank you.” Was all the siren could muster as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Finally, the worries that she had were no more. And everyone’s job were safe. > Time For the Ending Sonata Dusk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days soon became weeks, then months before years had gone bye in a blink of an eye. A lot had happened over the course of five years, after the events of Food Critic, Mr. Rutherford, had came bye the taco restaurant. Business for Ms. Crystalis boomed dramatically over the years as her restaurant became number one taco place in the whole city. Sonata Dusk became not only the chef, but assistant manager to boot. The Wiccian sisters, Draggle and Reeka, became top cooks, thanks to the help of Sonata. Cashier Tree Hugger was replaced by Mr. K Grundel, after she found another job as a full time yoga instructor. As for the Kitchen help, the jobs were given to the other Grundels that Mr. K Grundel knew. Pinkie Pie on the other hand, became the manager of Mr. and Ms. Cupcake bakery shop, after the couple had moved to a new location. Both Sonata and Pinkie moved out of their apartment and into the bake shop’s top floor in what was the Cakes room. Both girls love remained strong throughout the years. There was some good times and even bad times, but in the end, they till loved each other deeply. Present day It was a nice Saturday evening, and Sunset, along with Adagio, decided to take Pinkie Pie and Sonata Dusk out to dinner at La French Restaurant to celebrate the two girls fifth anniversary together. As the four girls were enjoying their meal, Sunset wiped her mouth and looked at Pinkie Pie who was gulping her food down with a fork. “So, hows your business Pinkie?” Sunset asked, grabbing her tea to drink. Pinkie looked up with some rice on her cheeks. The pink girl soon swallowed and smiled. “Oh, its absolutely funner-rific. Today, I baked a wedding cake for Cranky and Matilda.” “That sounds great. I know they will love it.” Sunset said being happy for her friend.. “A wedding cake?” Adagio questioned as she started to think. “Yeah Adagio, a wedding cake. Like what you and Sunny had at your wedding, but this cake was butter cream and not red velvet like yours, remember?” Sonata replied. Adagio face palmed. “Yes, I know what a wedding cake is Sonata.” Adagio told the blue siren. “Then why did you say it like you didn’t know what it was?” Sonata asked. Adagio was rather annoyed by her silly blue siren friend. But what Pinkie said made her think about her and Sonata. For while, both Adagio and Sunset have wondered if Sonata and Pinkie would ever get married. The yellow siren looked up at Sonata. “I asked... Because I was wondering.” Adagio hesitated for a moment before finishing her sentence. “You two been together for five years right?” She asked. Both Pinkie and Sonata smiled brightly as they said yes in perfect unison. Sunset looked at Adagio with a little concern. “Dagi, do you think you should ask?” Adagio looked at her lover. “Why not?” She questioned. “All I wanted to know if they thought about marriage.” “Oh, we did” Pinkie replied. Both Sunset and Adagio looked at Pinkie with confusion. “You have?” Sunset asked. “When?” Adagio followed. “For two years hehe” Sonata replied with a smile. Both Sunset and Adagio were rather confused as to why they didn’t act on it. They had the money to buy a ring and even afford a decent wedding. On top of that, they by all means loved each other more then life itself. “So why didn’t you two get married than?” Adagio asked. “Because, we don’t know anything about getting married.” Pinkie replied with a straight face. “But Pinkie, you done many wedding cakes and even went to weddings. What do you mean, you don’t know?” Sunset questioned. “Yeah, but I don’t know what its all about.” Pinkie confessed. “I mean, my mom and dad been married for fifty years, but I don’t understand what to do in a marriage.” she said as she looked confused. “Marriage and friendship are different aren’t they?” Sunset smiled at her friend as she placed her hand on Adagio’s hand. “You do the same thing your doing now. Marriage is just like friendship, but romantic instead of platonic.” “Yes, marriage is just a piece of paper that states you two are in this forever.” Adagio commented. “Nothing has to change in a marriage.” “For realzies?” Sonata asked cutely. “ I thought marriage was when you sale your daughter to a man and...” The blue siren was cut off before she could finish. “For the last time, that was in the past Sonata.” Adagio stated, annoyed she had to repeat herself for a tenth time. “So wait, so we can get MARRIED!!!?” Pinkie asked with a shout, making the woman behind her annoyed. “Yes.” Sunset replied with a smile. Both Pinkie and Sonata gasped and looked at each other with a smile. “You wanna get married?” They both asked each other. They both said yes then giggled and hugged each other. “But you will need a ring.” Adagio pointed out. Both Sonata and Pinkie looked with a shock on their face. “Oh no, we don’t have a ring.” Pinkie said. Sunset chuckled. “Don’t worry, Rarity can help you two tomorrow.” The next day Rarity took Sonata and Pinkie to get a ring from the Jewelry Store. The fashoinista took both girls to one store that a friend told her about called “Prince Jewelry.”Rarity figured it was a good of a time as any to go check out the place and see if it was worth while. As Rarity opened the door she soon found herself filled to the brim with absolute disgust. Her skin crawled as she saw BlueBlood working the counter. He was a boy that she liked back in high school, but after one hour with him, Rarity found out the one thing Blueblood loved was himself. She walked to the counter, not looking away from the one man she despised most. However, Blueblood didn’t seem to notice her, or Pinkie and Sonata giggling as they walked in. He was focused on looking at himself in a silver plated mirror while smiling like a jackass. As they got to the counter, both Pinkie and Sonata pressed their faces on the glass looking at all the rings and pointing on which ones looked pretty. After five seconds of looking, both girls said they found a ring at the same time in perfect harmony. Rarity was snapped out of her trance, and looked away from the slithering snake that she wanted to cut.“Well, which one darlings?” She asked with a smile. Sonata and Pinkie pointed at a small diamond ring with a silver band. Rarity looked at the ring with a disappointed look on her face.”Um... why that one?” She asked rather confused. “Because it looks like a cupcake.” Pinkie squeed. “And Sona is my special cupcake.” She added, hugging Sonata with a smile. “Thats sweet and all sweetie, but..” Rarity hesitated. “But what?” Sonata asked? “But, darling, its so small. This is suppose to be a wedding ring.” Rarity explained. “The ring should be very, very expensive.” “Why?” Pinkie asked with a confused look. Rarity looked at Pinkie. “Well darling, a wedding ring most always be expensive. For you are not only getting married, but a really expensive ring is the most romantic way to show someone you really love them.” She commented. “Really? Then how much does the ring around Saturn costs?” Sonata asked with seriousness in her tone. Rarity was kind of confused by the question. But coming from Sonata, she was use to strange question and answers. “Well darling, that.. Um ring, isn’t for sale. Why do you ask?” She questioned. “Because, thats the biggest ring in the universe right?” Sonata asked. “Then I want that ring for Pinkie, because I love her very, very, very, very, very, very much.” she finished. “Yeah, and I don’t care about the ring, I only care about the love that came from the ring.” Pinkie added kissing Sonata on the lips. A smile escaped Rarity’s face as she saw just how much they loved each other. It warmed her heart seeing that the ring’s costs meant nothing, they only cared for the love. “I.. I guess your right. But we still have to pay for it.” The light grey woman soon turned her attention to the cockroach she despised most. “Excuse me?” She said gently, trying not to say something unlady like. But Blue Blood was still looking at his own reflection. Smiling as he was lost in himself. This made Rarity roll her eyes. “Hey lookie, a sign.” Sonata said pointing at a sign that was on the counter. Pinkie read the sign out load. “If need service call my name, Blueblood” As soon as Pinkie said his name, Blueblood perked up and looked at the girls with a snobbish smile. “Mmm Welcome ladies, to my store, I have the second most beautiful things in here.” He said showing his pearly white teeth. “What’s the first most beautiful thing?” Sonata asked. “Why me of course.” Blue replied, stroking his hair back. Rarity almost barfed, but held it in, not wanting to be unlady like. But his mere appearance was enough to want to throw him infront of a train. She then cleared her throat. “Excuse me, my friends want to buy that ring.” she said, pointing at the ring Pinkie and Sonata wanted. Blueblood looked where Rarity was pointing. As he saw the ring she asked for, he raised an eyebrow. “Oh this small thing. Are you sure?” He asked, with a snobbish tone. “Yes please.” Sonata asked nicely with a smile. Blueblood then opened the glass counter and grabbed the small ring. “May, I asked who is getting married?” He asked. “WE ARE!!!!” Both Pinkie and Sonata said at the same time with a squee. Blueblood looked disgusted at them. “Your lesbians?” He questioned. Rarity’s face went from disgust to anger as she thought he was going to kick them out for being lesbians.“IS that a Problem Blue Balls?” Rarity asked, trying to keep her lady like posture. “It’s Blueblood. Not balls.” Blue remarked. “Also, I don’t believe in lesbians.” “How come?” Sonata asked confused. “Because.” BlueBlood said as he grinned. “All a lesbian is, is a woman who has never been with me.” Rarity soon went back to disgust and annoyed at just how self centered he was. “Get over yourself, you are a sorry excuse for a man.” Rarity commented, no longer caring about the being a proper lady. “Excuse me, I don’t believe we met? Blue replied back. “But I am god’s gift to all women and humanity.” He said smiling. Rarity was sickened by his words and the fact he didn’t even remember her. “You know, Lyra and Bon Bon became lesbians because of you.” Rarity said with a smile. “So I converted two carpet eaters into being straight.” Blue Blood said. “Damn, I am good.” Rarity stood there with blank face. “You...you sir are delusional and out of touch with realty.” Blueblood just smiled and rang up the ring. Sonata paid $280 for it. As he handed the ring to Sonata, Rarity noticed he had a ring on his finger. “YEAH WE CAN GET MARRIED” Both Pinkie and Sonata cheered as they hugged each other and jumped for joy. However, Rarity couldn’t help herself and asked “Who in the world married you? Blueblood smiled and lifted the mirror to his face. “This handsome devil here” He said with a wink. “The mirror?” Pinkie asked. Rarity on the other hand caught on and looked at him with a look of WTF. “You... You married yourself? Seriously? Does your aunt know about this?” She asked. “Yes, Aunt Celestia is proud of my choice. And I knew I was the one as soon as I saw my reflection in this pure silver plated mirror. I knew nobody was worthy of my beauty, but me.” Blueblood answered with a snobbish tone. He then started to kiss his own reflection. “Thats funny, you married yourself.” Sonata said, not trying to be rude. But she started giggling at the thought of him marrying himself. Soon it turned into laughter. Pinkie soon followed suit . Rarity didn’t want to laugh, but the more she heard the two girls laughing, and the more she thought about how pathetic Blueblood was to marry himself and how silly his self loving ego was. She started to chuckle, until Rarity soon began laughing along with them. Blueblood on the other hand didn’t even seem phased by their laughter. He was to busy kissing himself in the mirror. The girls started to calm down as they left his store. As they did, Sonata’s phone rang. The blue siren answered it and after a few second had a said look on her face. “Aw whats wrong Sonata?” Pinkie asked. “Work called, and they need me. That means, Sonata Pie Time is over.” She said with a pout. “Aw no its not silly-nata hehe.” Pinkie respoded, hugging her fiance. “When you come back we can have more Sonata Pie Time te he he” Rarity smiled as she saw the two cute couple hugging and kissed. “Yes darling, you go to work. Pinkie and I will go to AppleJack’s brewery to take care of the drinks. Sonata smiled and told Pinkie how much she loved her before parting ways. “Congratulations Pinkie.” Applejack commented, as she gave her friend a hug. Rarity and Pinkie where in Big Mac’s office with Applejack and Applebloom. The two girls had gone to the Sweet Apple Soda factory to tell Applejack the good news and to ask for help with the drinks. Pinkie Pie, along with Rainbow Dash really loved the Sweet Apple Soda that the Apple family made and were known for. “Thanks Applejack.” Pinkie responded. “So how much do we owe you?” She asked. “Oh shucks, this ain’t nothing. Think of this as our gift to ya partner.” Applejack replied. “Ain’t that right Big Mac?” “Eeyup.” He said, sitting at his desk. “Yeah, we are happy for you Pinkie.” Applebloom, added with a smile. “We sure are.” Applejack said. “Granny Smith would be to, if she were here with us today.” She said putting her hat over her heart. “Eyup.” said Big Mac, with a sad tone. Granny Smith had passed away for over two years ago. And Big Mac had taken up the rights to the factory and became the head boss, with Applejack being Manager and Applebloom helping on her free time. “Before she went, she said she’d hope you two would marry one day.” Applejack said with a little mist in her eyes. “I bet she is lookin down from heaven with a smile.” Pinkie Pie thanked her friend and gave her a comforting hug. Applejack let go of the embrace. “Ok, nuff talkin bout sad stuff. Yer gettin married. So when is ths wedding?” Applejack asked, as she wiped her eyes. “Well...” Pinkie said confuse, as she did not know, nor planned on the wedding. Until it dawn on her that her and Sonata both agreed next month on the 16th, because that was the day they became a couple. “Oh yeah, next sixteen, because that was when me and Sona became a true couple.” she explained with a squee. “Ok partner, me and Big Mac will be sure ta give ya the best soda ya evur had.” Applejack replied. “Eeyup.” Big Mac added with a smile. “That fabulous news darling.” Rarity put in. “Hey, don’t we need champagne?” Pinkie asked. As she did, both Rarity and Applejack looked at each other with grave concern. “Umm..sorry, but no darling.” Rarity said trying to smile. “Aww how come?” Pinkie questioned. “I become an awesome dancer when I drink remember?” she said with a smile. “Uh..about that Pinkie...when you drink you kinda..” Applejack hesitated with her words due to her little sister was in the room. “What I think Applejack wants to say darling. Is you should save the drinking for Sonata sweetie.” Rarity said trying not to remember that prom party Pinkie Pie through in high school. Applejack had to throw away all of Applebloom’s ping pong balls that night. “Aw ok.” Pinkie said disappointed she can’t drink. But decided she would save drinking for when it was just her and Sonata. She still didn’t understand why she couldn’t or wasn’t able to drink with her friends. She soon perked up as she remembered the party for the wedding. “Hey what about the party and other stuff?” she asked with a panic. “Darling, don’t worry about a thing. I, along with you other bridesmaids Sunset and Adagio will take care of everything.” Rarity said in a reassuring tone. “Leave it aaall in our hands. You just get ready to spend the rest of your life with your future wife.” Meanwhile Sonata was at work doing her typical job stuff, like making sure the food was prepared right and managing the place. The restaurant was rather slow for the night, and so Reeka, Draggle, and Ms. Crystalis gathered around to hear Sonata’s good news in the office. Sonata was not able to tell them right away due to five o’clock rush, so she had to wait till six thirty for the rush to die sown. Sonata stood there with a huge smile on her face. “Sonata...you wanted to tell us something?” Ms. Crystalis said taking a drag from her cigaret. Sonata snapped out of her trance and realize she did not tell them yet. “Oh right, sorry.” She said. “Me and Pinkie Pie are getting married!!” She said jumping in place while giggling. All three of the women congratulated Sonata on her marriage. “Thanks guys, hey, umm can you be my bridesmaids?” Sonata asked. “But what about your other six friends?” Crystalis questioned, breathing out the nasty smoke. “Oh, well Rainbow, Rarity, Sunset, Fluttershy, and Applejack are going to be Pinkie’s bride’s maids. While Adagio and Aria are mine.” Sonata replied. “So, I can still have a few more.” “Well, sure.” Reeka said, taking a bit out of a burrito that feel on the floor.. “Yeah, that sounds wonderful.” Draggle added with a smile. “I’d be happy to Sonata.” Crystalis stated. The gray haired manager couldn’t help but smile as she felt nothing but happiness for her friend and partner. A costumer soon walked in, so the girls left to do their jobs. Crystalis turned her chair around to look at a picture of Fluffilpuff. The old woman smiled as a tear left her cheek. “I bet your happy to huh?” She asked the picture before taking another drag. She didn’t start smoking until five months ago. That was when a drunk driver took her love away from her. She wasn’t the same since and was going to close the restaurant, but Sonata was determined not to let it sink. Crystalis, respected the siren for what she has done for her. Sonata went up to the cash register, while Grundel was on break. As she walked up, she was greeted by Aria and Fluttershy. “Hi girls, what can I get you?” Sonata said with smile. However, Aria’s eyes caught her attention. The purple siren’s eyes were red and looked like her eye liner was running. “Aria? Are you ok?” She asked her friend. “Huh, Yeah why?” Aria demanded. “Because it looks like you were crying.” Sonata replied. “What? Don’t be stupid. I don’t cry.” Aria barked. “But, I saw you crying before you came in?” Fluttershy said meekly, as she looked at Aria. Aria became annoyed. “I wasn’t crying. I had something in my eye.” She stated crossing her arms. “But, when I comforted you, you told me you were sad because your best friend was getting married.” Fluttershy pointed out. Aria growled as Sonata’s face lit up. Never has Aria ever in the history of their lives called Sonata “best friends” before. Sonata squeed as she lean and gave Aria a huge hug. “AWW YOU’RE MY BESTIE TO ARIA!!” “Get off,” Aria said, annoyed and even sicken by the emotion. However, in her head she was happy for her fellow siren. Fluttershy smiled at the sight before remembering what she had come in for. “Oh, Sonata, I forgot to ask. When will the wedding be?” onata let go of the tight grip around Aria and smile at Fluttershy. “Oh, next month on the 16th. That was when we became a full fledge couple.” She squeed. “Oh, congrates. I know Rarity is takeing care of everything, but what can I bring?” Fluttershy asked sweetly. Sonata put a finger to her chin and thoughts for a second. “Mmmm, what about champagne?” she responded. Aria’s face became horror as she heard what she had asked for. “NO! God no. No alcohol for you” She barked. Fluttershy and Sonata looked confused. “How come?” Sonata asked. “The last time you drank me and Adagio couldn’t eat pickles for a year.” Aria responded with a disgusted face. “Huh? Ooohh, you me when I-“ “SHUT UP!!!” Aria demanded, throwing her hand over the sirens mouth. “Don’t finish that sentence.” “Oh my, what happened?” Asked Fluttershy. “You don’t want to know.” Aria said, as she put her hand down from Sonata’s mouth. “Hey, did they order anything Sonata?” Draggle asked, peeping her head from the back. “Oh, right, how may I serve you guys?” Sonata looked back at her two friends. And so the day had finally come. There standing in the middle of a ball was Sonata Dusk and Pinkie Pie, dancing in each other’s arms. They looked deeply into one another’s eyes as the DJ and her posh friend played a beautiful melody. All their friends and family were there, some in tears, others filled with nothing but pride. Pinkie’s mother and father did not approve on their daughter’s “sinful” lifestyle, but they still came because their love was more important then their beliefs. Maud for the first time ever cried, for she was so proud of her little sister. Sonata, with the help from Aria and Adagio, performed the Siren’s Heart Song. A song that connects the heart of two lovers, so they would be together and die together. Sonata and Pinkie were happy for this, because they didn’t want to die before the other. As time went on, Ms. Crystalis died and a middle aged Sonata Dusk owned the restaurant with her two friends Reeka and Draggle. Pinkie Pie started her own baking/partying business and both of them adopted a child. They lived happily, with some troubles down the road. But their love still held strong. Until, the day came. Lying in a bed were two very old ladies. They held each others hand with a smile on their faces. Their hair as white as the snow, and a few wrinkles. But what still remain was the love they had. “Hey...Sona.” Pinkie said turning to her wife with a smile. “Yeah Pinkie?” Sonata responded. “I think..its about time.” Pinkie said feeling weak as she put one hand on her chest. Sonata looked at Pinkie with eyes streaming down her face. “Yeah, I can feel it to.” She replied, putting one hand on her chest to. “Guess, this is the final party huh?” she smiled. Pinkie smiled weakly. “Nah, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow, Adagio, and Sunset are waiting for us..on the other side he..hehe” Tears streamed down the side of her face. Sonata tried to grip Pinkie’s hand tightly and smiled at her. “Then.. lets go. We can wait for Aria and her husband, plus Fluttershy and hers.” the old blue siren said “We can have a afterlife party.” Pinkie looked at Sonata and moved her hand to the siren’s face. With her last breath. “Ok.....”
