What was I thinking...Saving her like this. She’s still asleep fortunately but what do I do if she wakes up? It’s not like she has anywhere to go, from the looks of it, she has to have been outside for a few days, I mean just look at her. Maybe there’s someone I can call. She has her bag on her, perhaps i’ll just…
“What are you doing?”
I close my eyes and suck my teeth, turning around to face the now sitting up light and dark blue haired girl. “Um..well actually..” She just continued to sit there glaring at me.
“Were you planning to go through my bag? Who are you!?” I jump at the increase in volume, holding my hands out in front of me for defense.
“Hold up hold up, I can explain. I was just looking for..” She got up and looked ready to fight.
“You were looking for a picture of me weren’t you. Like stay out my bag you creep!” She proceeded to kick me in the special area and succeeded. I dropped to the ground like a bag of rocks. Under my pain I managed to be able to speak.
“I..was..just helping..you..Stop you..from...freezing..to death.” I heard her nervously laugh as she scanned the room,obviously noticing the cup of water and blanket I laid out.
“Omg,omg! I am so sorry! Is anything I can do?!” Under the twisting pain, I managed to get out two words.
“Ice pack.” I heard her footsteps go toward my kitchen, then the loud smacking sound of my freezer door opening and closing. She brought back the Ice pack and gave it me. I happily put it down there until I was able to sit up again. “So let’s never tell anyone that’s how we met. Let’s start over after I stop hurting.” We had decided to calm the mood by going out to a small nighttime diner. I sat down at a booth as she went to order and pay for our food, an apology for kicking me. She returned to my booth to wait for our food, pulling out her phone to check her social media.
“So my memory is like so fuzzy, what exactly happened?” I laughed.
“Right, let me try to remember to what happened before my groin injury.” Her face turned to a menacing scowl.
“I said I was sorry alright, i’m buying you food so get over it.” I giggled at her anger.
“Let’s see..oh yea. So I was walking down maneway street, and there I saw it, the shining light of a damsel in distress.” Her scowl turned to a glare.
“Stop it. Just tell the story.” I laughed some more and continued.
“Fine. I was doing after hours work at my job and came across you at the park that I normally walk by. You seemed to be in pain. Your clothes were tattered, you yourself were wet from the rain and covered in dirt, and I think you had a fever. So, like any upstanding citizen, I took you to my house and laid you down. What were you doing out there anyway?” She looked down at table, trying her best to avoid eye contact. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my shin and went to hold it for comfort. I can’t tell but i think she just kicked me. She giggled at my pain.
“Sorry I didn’t know your leg was there. Oh look our food is ready.” For the rest of our time there, I repeated the question over and over again. She answered with a kick in the shin again and again. Maybe one or two times i dodged but this was getting painful so I stopped. We finished the last of our food and left the diner.
“So do you have anywhere to stay tonight?” She obviously did not like that question as she glared at me once again.
“What kind of game are you playing here?” I rubbed the back of my head.
“What goes through your mind sometimes? No, you were unconscious at a park in the rain, didn’t seem like had a place to go.” She sighed.
“No I don’t, kinda having problems with my roommates but don’t you dare think for a second i’m staying at your place again. My house is only a few blocks from here. I’ll work it out with them.” I shrugged and started to slowly walk off.
“By the way, what’s your name?” She turned and waved my question away.
“It’s not important.” I nodded and went back to my house. Upon getting in my house and tossing my jacket on the couch, I noticed that she had left something here, a necklace with some sort of red gem in the middle, about the size of a fly.
“What is this?” I examined the necklace a bit longer twirling it over and over again. Soon it seemed to kill time but utterly waste it. I set it down on the kitchen counter and threw some water on the burner. I made a cup of sweet tea and retired to playing video games. In the middle of this however, there was a knock at my door. It’s well into the night, who would come at this hour. “Hello?” No answer. I picked myself up from my laziness and walked towards the door. I peered through the peephole and to my surprise, it was the girl I had saved. I opened the door and was ambushed by hug and a lot of tears. “Hey what’s wrong?” She just continued to cry into my shirt as I slowly dragged her to a chair. After about ten minutes of her crying, she explained to me that her roommates had rejected her offer to get back in. Once again I decided to ask the question about how she ended up outside. She dried her tears and told me to hand her the necklace on the counter.
“See this, it’s a weapon we use to control people.” I cocked my head in confusion.
“What? How can that control people?” She turned her attention to the floor.
“It’s complicated. We’re not from this world.” She then proceeded to tell me the entire story of their..adventures in Canterlot High. This brought her to even more tears and once again she was soaking my shirt. Finally to break the sadness, there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, there stood a girl with red and yellow hair.
“Um...Hello.” The girl politely introduced herself as Sunset Shimmer and for some reason she was looking for the girl I had saved. Sunset took a step into my home and turned her attention to my guest.
“I came to talk to you..about the situation.” The girl simply looked at me and back to Sunset with an embarrassed look. She got out of the chair and sighed at me. She kept her eyes focused on the ground as she approached me and gave me that buddy buddy hug.
“Thanks for like..taking me in….Sonata..” I started scratching my head at that last comment.
“I’m sorry what? Sonata, what does that mean?” Her embarrassed face turned to anger right in front of my eyes.
“That’s my name stupid! Sonata is my name. You wanted to know earlier right?” I had completely forgot about that question.
“Oh yea. Well nice to finally know your name Sonata, I’m Delz.” She nodded and left with Sunset making as little eye contact as possible. “What is going on here? I know I just moved here but geez.” I yawned and checked my clock. “Guess I should hit the bed. Life’s back to normal I guess.” The next day, I got up, got dressed, and went to work. I work at a women’s clothing store, surprising I know. The manager said I had an eye for fashion so she hired me, I still have yet to tell my friends about where I work. When I got there, I slipped on a fashionable suit that apparently attracted people and walked around helping customers. Something was off though. The manager told me there was some girl hanging out around the store entrance scaring the customers away. So as usual, she had the underdog check it out. I exited the store and looked around. Nobody was here so I went back inside, or at least attempted to before I felt a tug on my shirt. I turned to the tug and closed my eyes. “Sonata?!...You have got to be..” Sonata jabbed me in the side hard. “Ow what the!” She took a lean against a wall.
“Can..We talk?”
What you thought you heard
Meeting outside the store
We exchanged confused looks for at least half an hour before she finally leaned off the wall and opened her mouth to speak. “Listen Delz, so…...is there somewhere more private we can talk?” I looked back inside the store at my manager who giving me that get back to work glare.
“Well not now, i’m kinda working.” Sonata turned her head towards the ground.
“Oh well...when do you get off?” I checked my watch and thought back on my hours.
“It’s 9 o'clock so somewhere around 3:30 this evening.” She just sat there staring into the ground.
“Ok..guess i’ll go..” With that she walked off turning around a corner and disappearing from my sight.
“Wonder what she wants to talk about.” I went back into the store and continued to work but out of the corner of my eye, I could see a glimpse of blue hair by the entrance of the store. She was obviously sitting there again, just waiting for me again. What’s her deal? Is she some kind of stalker, maybe a serial killer and here she is planning out when she will kill me. I don’t really know but it’s starting to become awkward. Upon all this thought however, I fail to realize that a customer is talking to me, and is getting very frustrated. The manager then tells me to go home and figure out what’s going on with this girl. I accept and return the clothes. As I started towards the entrance to leave, I couldn’t help but think. I wonder what’s going on with her, she said that her roommates were having some kind of fight with her, not to mention that strange Sunset girl that showed up to take her away. I assumed that was it but I guess not. Upon exiting the door, I clumsily tripped over something soft. When I took a look as to what just made me fall, it was none other than Sonata laying down in front of the store doors. “Are you crazy! Do you realize how many people walk through here, you can’t just lay down right in front of the doors!” Sonata opened her sleepy eyes and glanced up to me with this strange look in her eyes.
Funny Scene
“Wha...My love!” With that she jumped on to me, hugging and pulling me around.
“Son..ata! What is going on with you?!” Sonata stared at me with heart shaped eyes.
“I never want this to end!” At this point it’s as if she was strangling me as her grip tightened and tightened.
“Sonata, it’s me Delz, let go!” I reached around and unclipped her fingers letting her fall softly to the ground. As she put her gaze back upon me, I realized that she was asleep.Her eyes were halfway closed and she had drool on her cheek. I relentlessly snapped my fingers in front of her face trying to break this sleepy trance. “Sonata wake up!” Suddenly her eyes opened all the way and her pupils returned to their normal size.
“Huh...What!” She looked around and wiped the drool from her mouth. “What just happened, Delz! What did you hear?!” I gave a stern expression.
“Why did you go to sleep in front of the doors, do you realize how many people couldn’t get out.” Sonata stood up, anger on her face.
“Why were you watching me sleep!”
“You slept in public, everyone was watching you sleep, if you were that tired, you should’ve told me and I would have took you to my house!”
“Oh yea, to probably do some perverted stuff!”
“Don’t say that out loud!”
“Stop being a weirdo!”
“Y'know what maybe you can find somewhere else to plant your butt cause you’re not stepping foot in my house again!”
“Oh really! I’ll show where I can like plant my foot then!” With that she kicked me in the butt which made me jump a little. We must have ran four blocks in the time she chased me but finally we settled down at a small taco place not far from my home. We ordered some tacos and sat down at a table in the center of the restaurant. There really was no one there so we were relatively alone.
“So besides hurting my butt, what exactly did you want to talk about?” She took a bite of a taco and set it down.
Sit down
“Now that we have time, I should probably tell you.” The answer to the question i’ve been waiting for, I perked up ready to listen hard. “So here’s what happened yesterday. Sunset Shimmer, the girl who took me away, asked me a few questions. As you know i’m a siren, and so are my two sisters. The reason they kicked me out is because..well..we were able to get our hands on some replacements for our broken necklaces that fueled our power to like sing. Adagio was dead set on using the power to try and take over the school again but Aria suggested something totally different than our original plan. Instead of using the hatred of one world, she suggested we use the hatred from both Canterlot high and Equestria to gain more power and then seclude the Rainbooms away from each other to take them out, one by one. Being who I am, I was on board but suddenly I realized something. I was being forced to take part in the plan against my better judgment. I mean just thinking about the last time they beat us brings back bad memories, not being able to sing at all. Not even to control people, just singing in general. So as my own person I spoke out against the plan, saying that maybe we should leave both worlds alone and consider being normal for once. With that comment, they evicted me from our house, the one we all payed rent on. After that, that’s where you found me outside in the park. Sunset knows the same story just so you know.” My eyes met her’s as she took another bite of her taco.
“Whoa….that’s deep. Man if you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have been so easygoing about you leaving my house.” Sonata just sighed.
“I didn’t want to be a burden. I’d be totally trespassing on your privacy.” I stood up fast a lightning and held my hand up as if people were cheering me on.
“No buts, you’re are officially staying at my house!” Sonata motioned me to sit down.
“Delz..sit down you’re making a scene.” I looked around at the two employees behind the corner. Nervously laughing, I splashed a full glass of water into my mouth.
“It was a really..hot taco.” The employees giggled and went back to their work as I sat down. “Whew that was close.” Sonata giggled softly.
“Maybe you shouldn’t burst out like that them. Look, the other reason I came here was to ask you a question.” I stopped in the middle of trying to take a bite.
“Question?” Sonata’s face turned red and she turned her to the side.
“Would you like to...y'know like...hang out sometime?” I grinned at her with curiosity.
“Why ya blushing?”
“I don’t know that taco was just..hot.”
“Are you sure cause it seems like you’re trying to..” I stopped as Sonata picked up napkin holder and threw it at me nailing me in the head. I fell out of my seat and hit the ground with a thud. Sonata squealed at what she had just done and ran around the table.
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, are you okay?” I put a thumbs up.
“I’ll be fine just get some ice.” Sonata nodded and returned two minutes with some ice.
“So is that a yes?” I reached for my phone and pulled up a calendar.
“Tomorrow is good for me.” She yipped in joy.
“Yes!” After realizing I was looking at her she returned to a nonchalant stance. “Um..yea whatever.” She picked me up and we returned to my home. As we entered the house, Sonata had helped me into my lounge chair in my living room due to the blow to the head. “Easy Delz.” She sat me down and pulled the ice away from my forehead. “Feel better?” I nodded.
Rest of the story
“It wasn’t too bad a hit.” Sonata pulled herself up onto my kitchen counter, swinging her feet.
“So how’s this gonna work? Do I sleep in your bed or something?” I shook my head.
“No way, what’re you tryna do, kick me out of my room. I actually have a guest room believe it or not, but I use it for storage. Until then I’m gonna set something out.” Sonata gave me a surprised gasp.
“What, you’re gonna make me lay down on the hard floor?!” I laughed.
“It’s actually a pretty comfortable floor. If you’re really that against it, i’ll hang up a hammock or something. It’s only until I clean out the guest room.” With that she jumped off the counter and grabbed a hammer, two sets of covers, and nails from around the house. Quickly she dashed around the room like a blur. When she finally stopped next to me, she was out of breath but smiling none the less. "Why are you out of..What!” I stared at the corner in which she had successfully hung up the two covers to create a hammock. “How did you do that so fast?!” She laughed.
“It’s a siren thing.” This girl is something else. I stood up and proceeded to the kitchen.
“You hungry?”
“You bet!”
“Well then let me see here….How does spaghetti sound to you?” I looked back for Sonata’s answer only to see the star in her eye.
“It..sounds...great!” I laughed and went to start cooking. After about half an hour, I plopped the plate on the counter and watched as she snatched it and gobbled it up.
“Whoa..you are something else Sonata.” As she finished the plate, she stood in front of me and bowed.
“Thank you for the meal.”
“Wow it’s nice to see that some people have manners.”
“And it’s odd to see that some men can actually cook.”
“Yea, my mom calls it hidden talent, mainly cause i’m the only male out of my family who can truly cook. Oh and Sonata seeing as how you bowed you might as well use the right phrase. After a meal you say ‘Domo arigatogozaimashita’ basically meaning thank you.” Sonata held her head in confusion.
“Domo..ari..goto.....gati....oh whatever, what language even is that?” I laughed at her attempts.
“It’s Japanese, I spent some time with my family a year ago and they like to speak nothing but Japanese to family so sometimes it just happens to come back to me. I forget a lot of it as I don’t spend enough time around my parents.” Sonata dumped herself into my lounge chair.
“So you’re Japanese then. I learn something new everyday I guess.” I made myself a plate of spaghetti and sat down next to her.
“Wanna turn on some TV?” Sonata grabbed the remote and clicked the TV on.
“I know this totally awesome channel!” When she flipped to the channel, I quickly realized what we were watching.
“No, no, no, we’re not watching this.”
"Oh come on it’s just singing.”
"Yea but it’s a freaking musical. Since when are musical’s good now?”
“Please,please just for a little while?” Oh man not the sad eyes, make it stop.
“Fine.”
“Sweet!” What have I done? After the torture was done I decided it was time to turn in.
“Well think i’m gonna hit the hay.” Sonata laughed.
“Last time I checked that meant playing video games until 1 o’clock in the morning.”
“Well that is my version of sleep, thank you very much.” I started off towards my room. “Is there anything else you need before I go to bed?” She giggled and shook her head.
“You mean playing games and no there isn’t anything else.” I comically scowled at her and went into my fortress of solitude. That night I stayed up in my bed playing games as usual but I thought to myself. I’ve only know this girl for what, two days at least. Now she’s in my home sleeping it up. Have I done the right thing just inviting her into my home. I mean what if she kills me in my sleep. Before I had time to ponder that question, the softness of my bed lured me into sleep. Two hours later I woke up and checked my watch.
“11:41..I must have really been tired." I got out of my bed, turned off my game and TV and began getting in bed until something caught my attention. A low moan from the other side of my bed. I rubbed my blurry eyes and tried to make out whatever was in my bed. It was Sonata sleeping like a baby. “Geez didn’t even ask to sleep in my bed.” I smiled and grabbed two pillows. “Even when I say no, she still kicked me out of my room, oh well.” I went to the door and slowly closed it. As the door was near being closed, I softly whispered, “Goodnight.” I plopped my pillows on the homemade hammock Sonata made, and climbed up. My drowsy state finally kicked in and my eyes closed slowly. “Y'know what, she’s kinda cute I guess.” And with that, I was off into my dreams.
