A Morning in the Dazzling's House

'Sonata, I am trusting you to not make a mess of things. I need you to do the cleaning today.'

Sonata watched as Adagio walked out the door. She clenched the list of chores in her hand ad Adagio slowly disappeared out of sight. When she was gone she looked down at the list. "3 things. That seems easy enough."

Sonata walked to the living room and sat down on a large pink couch. She glanced down at the list and read the first chore aloud. "Vacuum the floors," Sonata stood up and walked to the closet. "Vacuum. Vacuum?" Sonata searched through the closet and found a box behind the broom. The box read 'Vacuum Seal Bag'.

"Maybe this is a vacuum." Sonata grabbed the box and dragged it out the closet. The giant red box had a sticky note on top that read 'Don't let Sonata touch!. Sonata read the sticky note then ripped it off. "If Adagio doesn't want me touching this, then why would she ask me to vacuum?"

She ripped open the box and pulled out a flat clear bag. Sonata examined the bag. "So this must be a vacuum." Sonata put the bag on the ground and dragged it across the floor. "So I just need to vacuum the floor with this bag? What was Adagio worrying about? This is completely harmless."

About 10 minutes later Sonata had dragged the bag around the whole floor and was on to the next chore on the list. "Wash dishes." Sonata examined the chores list again. "Aria told me the thing on the roof is called a dish." Sonata went in the closet and grabbed a ladder. "This should be not problem."

Sonata went outside to the hose and filled a bucket with water. When she set the ladder, she grabbed the bucket and carefully climbed to the roof. A few people in the neighborhood watched as Sonata watered down the dish and scrubbed it with a cloth. About 15 minutes later Sonata threw the bucket to the ground and climbed down. "Second item on the list down, now to the third."

Sonata pulled out the list and read the last item. "Wash clothes," Sonata said to herself.

Sonata went inside to everyone's rooms and grabbed the clothes. "I remember Adagio telling me that I had to read the tags on the clothes to wash them right."

Sonata brought the pile of clothes to the living room to sort them out. The first item on the top of the pile was Aria's shirt. "This says dry-clean only," Sonata said while examining the tag on Aria's shirt.

Sonata went to the kitchen and put Aria's shirt in the oven. "This thing is dry, I hope this works." Sonata put the rest of the clothes in the dishwasher. "This washes the plates and cups, I think it will wash the clothes too."

A few minutes later Adagio walked through the door and Sonata was sitting on the couch. "Sonata I'm back, and I see the house is in one piece."

Sonata rolled her eyes. "You have no faith in me. I knew I could get everything done."

When Adagio stepped on the carpet she felt shock tingle up her spine. "Ouch! Sonata what did you do to the floor?"

"I vacuumed it just like you said."

Adagio sat on the sofa next to Sonata and tried to turn on the TV. When it turned on it read 'lost signal'. "That's weird."

"Maybe the TV broke," Sonata suggested.

"I guess TV is out," Adagio said as she got up and went into the kitchen.

Adagio looked in the sink and saw that the dishes were still there. "I thought you said you did everything on the list?"

"I did."

"Then why are the dishes still here?"

"You meant those dishes?"

Adagio turned to Sonata's direction and gave her a puzzled look. "So what dishes did you wash?"

"The big one on the roof."

Adagio walked to the sofa and collapsed on the couch. "Remind me never to leave you in the house alone again."
