//------------------------------// // Sonata Dusk Has Another Boyfriend // Story: Tales of Sonata Dusk // by Tennis Match Fan //------------------------------// Sonata Dusk crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair. She and Aria Blaze were hanging out at Adagio Dazzle's house, sitting around and mostly talking. "Did you hear that new artist on the radio?" Adagio asked, twirling a strand of curly tangerine hair around her finger. "She is seriously good." "Did she sing that song 'With All the Music'?" Aria asked. "Yeah," Adagio confirmed. "Oh, I heard that!" Sonata chipped in. "It's so awesome!" "Totally!" Aria and Adagio agreed. "I especially like the line where she says that music takes her higher than the clouds," Adagio commented. "It does do that!" Clouds, like cirrus clouds, Sonata thought. Well, she might as well tell them now. "Hey, you know Cirrus Treble, that guy at our school?" Sonata asked. Aria rolled her eyes. "More like Cirrus Trouble," she remarked. "He broke about a dozen school rules in the first week of Freshman year." "And not to mention his suspension that one time. What about him?" Adagio asked. Sonata spun one of her studded bracelets around her wrist. "Yeah... I'm kinda gonna go on a date with him on Saturday," she explained simply. Adagio's jaw dropped. Aria's jaw started yapping. "You're going to date him?!" She exclaimed in disbelief, jumping up from her chair. "That guy? Have you seen his hair? It's hideous! Not to mention all the trouble making we just mentioned?!" "Aria's right, Sonata," Adagio agreed. "Well, maybe not about criticizing his hair, but seriously, why are you getting all these weird boyfriends? Three months ago it was the Flash Sentry person-" "-who is not only younger than you, but goes to a different school!" Aria added, folding her arms across her chest. "And don't forget that Freeline Zip person you met last year on a role-playing website!" "They were both really nice!" Sonata argued. Aria rolled her eyes. "Which is why you still have a boyfriend right now." "Hey, Flash dumped me!" Sonata argued. "He was going to date that Twilight Sparkle girl instead. And Freeline was great, but he won a contest to go live in Manehattan for a full year, and long distance relationships never work out! He probably would have cheated on me anyways. It's on TV all the time!" "Sonata, why did you decide to go out with Cirrus?" Adagio asked in a calmer voice. "Well, remember when you and Aria needed to go with Tempo to that seminar thingy on Monday and I wasn't invited?" Sonata asked. "Hey, it's not my fault you couldn't go!" Aria defended herself. "I wanted you to come!" Sonata smiled. "I wasn't blaming you, Air. Anyway, I went down to the roller rink that day and Cirrus happened to be there." "No way! You went to the roller rink without us?" Aria shouted. "But I wanted to go!" "And I wanted to go to the seminar," Sonata replied. Adagio smirked. "She has a fair point. Go on, Sonata." "So we went to the snack bar," Sonata continued, "and he asked me if I was free of Saturday. Mystery's not dragging me to those charity concerts and I don't have anything planned with you two, or any other friends, so I said no, I was free. And then he asked me if I wanted to go skydiving with him." Aria facepalmed and Adagio's mouth fell open. "Smooth," Aria commented. Sonata laughed. "I was just playing with you guys. He didn't ask me to go skydiving." "Sonata!" Aria and Adagio exclaimed in indignant unison. "Sorry," she responded sheepishly. Sonata tugged on the end of her ponytail and continued, "He told me he liked my hair, and asked me to go the skate park." "Since when do you go to skate parks?" Adagio asked. "Since I decided to go on a date with Cirrus," Sonata replied simply. "Well, I still think you've gone off the deep end," Aria commented. "I mean, who goes out with a troublemaker like him? I wonder how he even got in to our top notch school." "Lighten up, Aria, maybe he won't be so bad," Adagio told her, standing back up. "Will he, Sonata?" "I wouldn't go on a date if I didn't think it was a good idea," Sonata agreed. Then she tapped her chin and wondered, "Or would I? I wonder if I'd go on a date with a guy I didn't like to spare him the pain of rejection. Does that sound bad a bit, to fake just to make someone feel better?" "I wouldn't put it past you," Adagio replied. "Hey! Maybe we can find you a cute skating outfit!" "Yeah, that would be so fun!" Sonata agreed. "We can sing a song about skating and I could wear it, so it's not a one time thing!" "Spot on genius," Aria added, standing up as well. "To the mall we go!" The girls sang.
