Different Reasons to Party

by Leviathan Jaeger


Aria and Sonata

When the three sirens entered the building, Aria looked around, only to be immediately bored of the place. There was no one there for her to talk to, save Vinyl but she was currently busy doing her job, and she knew there wasn't really a point to her being there.

Sonata on the other hand, was thrilled to be there. She loved the flashing lights, the different dresses people were wearing, and the food, oh the food. She was about to walk over and start to dig in, but the other two sirens were walking in the other direction. She gave the food one last look, before turning to join the others. When the three of them joined the other group of girls, Sonata sent Pinkie a wave, which the pink girl happily returned. After a few minutes of talking, the group dispersed, leaving the three sirens and Sunset. As Sonata thought about what to do, Sunset and Adagio walked towards the dance floor. She saw that they were going to dance, and she wanted to as well, but then she turned to Aria, and immediately decided to not ask, despite how much she wanted to dance with her. She then noticed Pinkie over by the food table, and decided to join her.

"I'm going to go join Pinkie," she said to her siren friend.

"Whatever," was Aria's only response.

Sonata took the response and left with it, quickly walking over to her pink friend. "Don't eat all the food without me!"

Pinkie looked up from her plate and smiled. "Don't worry my blue buddy, there's plenty here for everyone!"

"Yay!" Sonata responded, taking her own plate and piling it with food. After she finished making her own food mountain, she looked back over at Aria, and saw that her mood wasn't changing. "I wish Aria would have fun."

Pinkie looked over her shoulder, and shrugged. "I guess she just doesn't see the life of the party."

Sonata turned back to her, giving her a quizzical face. "What is the life of the party?"

"You don't know you silly billy, the life of the party is whatever you get joy from! Whether it's food, dancing, people, balloons, food," she stopped and elbowed her friend, "or being around your crush."

Sonata gave a small blush as she cutely turned her face, smiling as she did it.

"Why don't you tell her already, I'm sure it would make her night!"

Sonata looked over at the purple siren, then back to Pinkie. "I-I don't know Pinkie...she isn't exactly...emotional."

"Don't be silly silly, sometimes it takes other peoples emotions to turn on their emotions." Pinkie stated, before turning and looking towards Fluttershy. "Well, it looks like someone else needs my help. Don't forget what I said, use the Pinkie logic," she said as she walked away backwards.

Sonata gave a short giggle, before looking back towards Aria, only to see that she had moved. Sonata looked around desperately for her, only to see her exiting the building through one of the side door. With all the haste in her body, Sonata made her way towards her, trying desperately to not drop her food.

When Sonata went to go talk to Pinkie, Aria just stood there alone. She crossed her arms and looked towards the crowd of people, dancing and smiling to the music. She gave a sigh as she looked over to her left as a reflex, expecting to say something to Sonata, but stopped herself when knew remembered no one was there. She gave another sigh as she looked back towards the people, as she realized just how often she talks to Sonata. She couldn't believe she has a reflex just for that, but deep down inside, she knew that she loved Sonata's company. The ditzy blue siren had a special place in Aria's heart, a place that was kept secret from the world. But now she realized that without her, she had no one to talk too. That's when she noticed the open door to the outside world across the gym. If she wasn't going to be talking to anyone, might as well be where no one was, and with that, she walked over to the door.

Once outside, she let the cool evening breeze flow in her hair. Most people had a distaste for the cold breezes of the fall season, but not Aria, she embraced the cold, like someone who was being greeted by an old friend. She noticed a group of tables over to her right, the ones that were round and had a umbrella in the middle. She just shrugged and walked over to one. She stopped midway there as she felt the presence of someone walking behind them. She turned preparing to send someone off, but stopped herself when she saw it was only Sonata.

"I brought some food," she said, holding up her plate.

Aria just slowly shook her head and gave a small smile. "Do you ever think about anything else."

"Sometimes, yes," Sonata joked with her, before claiming her seat next to Aria. "It's a nice evening."

Aria looked towards the evening sky. "Yeah, it is." She looked back over to Sonata and grabbed a donut. "I figured you would've stayed with Pinkie the whole time."

"I can't leave my best friend all alone, you'll get lonely," Sonata replied, taking a bite out of her own donut.

"I'm used to being alone, although, I...do like having you around," Aria told her, the last few words slightly drifting off.

Sonata turned to her rather amazed. "You actually do? I thought you thought I was annoying?"

"You can be sometimes, but so can Adagio, and...I know I can be too."

"Your not annoying, your just...your just..." Sonata said, waving her arms in circles as she tried to think of something.

"Cantankerous."

"Yeah! That word," Sonata replied, before immediately regretting it. "I mean, your still a nice person..."

Aria rolled her eyes and slumped forward. "You know I'm not. All I ever do is be a bitch to people...you'd have more fun if you stayed with Pinkie..."

Sonata put her food down and scooted right next to Aria, putting a arm around her. "Aria, there's no one I would rather be around than you."

Aria sat up and looked at her, both confused and warmed in the heart. "Why?"

Sonata took a breath before giving her answer. "Because...because I love you Aria."

Aria was now really confused, just now with a fast beating heart. "You...you what?"

"I got a crush on you awhile back, and I never got over it, and as time went on, I grew to really like you Aria, as more than just my best friend."

It took several minutes of silence before Aria knew how to respond. "Sonata..."

"Yes?"

Aria didn't use words to respond, but rather her lips. When they came together, Sonata blushed wildly, but it didn't take long for her to kiss back, placing her arms around Aria's neck. The two kissed for awhile, before Aria pulled away, also madly blushing.

"I hope that was a good response," she said to her new blue girlfriend.

Sonata gave a goofy but cute smile as she responded. "Yes, yes it was." She pulled her in for another kiss, and when they parted, she nuzzled her head on Aria's shoulder, letting the purple siren put a arm around her as they gazed up into the night sky.
