Aria'd just finished putting Sonata to bed and was getting ready to go to bed herself. She had just finished putting her pjs on and was now brushing her teeth and taking out her berets from her hair. Once she was done that she turned out he light in her bathroom and walked down the hall to Sonata's closed bedroom door to check and see if her sister was asleep, when she opened her sister's door quietly she saw that Sonata was facing the door and was sound asleep. Aria closed Sonata's door and then walked back to her room and closed the door behind her when she walked in, she got comfy in her bed after turning out her light and plugging her phone in on the dresser beside her bed and she soon was sound asleep in her bed.
A couple hours later at around midnight, Sonata woke up to a pitch black room, she knew she'd had her nightlight on when she'd gone to bed because Aria's turned it on before she'd left the room to get ready for bed.
"Huh? Why is my room dark? Did someone turn out my nightlight?" Sonata asked herself quietly as she sat up in her bed to look around her pitch black room.
It took her a couple minutes to come to her senses and realise what happened and when she did she immediately felt scared and didn't want to be alone in her dark room by herself at all anymore.
"Oh, I bet the power went out. I'm going to go see if Ari will let me sleep with her, she probably will when I explain why I'm up, I'm just really, really scared and don't feel like being alone anymore." Sonata whispered to herself again.
Sonata quickly and quietly got out of her bed, set her feet on the floor and walked over to her closed bedroom door carefully since her room was dark. Once she got to her door she opened it, stepped out into the hallway and then closed her door behind her. She then walked down the hall towards her sister's bedrooms and didn't stop or hesitate before walking into Aria's room after quietly opening and shutting the door once she was in the room. Aria was laying on her right side, with her back to Sonata so Sonata quietly walked over to her bed and knelt down next to it and reached out and began shaking her sister gently.
"Ari wake up." Sonata whispered to her sister when she saw her sister move slightly due to her shaking.
"What is it? You were fine two hours ago when I put you to bed and I even checked on you after I was done getting ready for bed two hours ago and you were sound asleep." Aria explained as she slowly and tiredly asked Sonata why she was awake.
"Well, um, the power's out." Sonata answered, explaining to Aria why she was awake and in Aria's room waking her up.
"It is?" Aria asked as she glanced at her beside clock and then looked at her phone to see that it wasn't charging and that the clock was blinking the numbers 11:05 at her, which she guessed is when the power went out and was about an hour after she'd put Sonata to bed.
"Yeah." Sonata answered again.
"Well, you're right, it is out and it looks like it's been out for about an hour. Judging by my clock." Aria said, looking at her phone again to see what time it actually was and saw that it was 12:04 in the morning.
"I'm scared now though, I don't want to be alone in my room which is pitch black right now." Sonata explained to Aria, telling her she was scared to sleep in her dark room.
"Sonata nothing's going to hurt you in your room just because it's dark." Aria softly said to Sonata, rolling onto her stomach and resting her head on her arms.
"I know I just don't like it when the power goes out." Sonata said, smiling slightly at Aria.
"Yeah I know you don't. I guess if you really, really want to, you can stay here and sleep with me." Aria said to Sonata, moving over and patting the bed next to her so Sonata could climb up.
"Ok, thanks Ari. You're the best sister in the whole world." Sonata exclaimed quietly as she climbed onto her older sister's bed and got herself comfortable.
"Thanks Nata." Aria replied as she watched her younger sister get comfortable in her bed.
"Hey, Ari, can I tell you something?" Sonata asked as she looked up at her older sister a couple minutes later after getting herself comfy.
"Of course, you can tell me anything." Aria answered, smiling down at her younger sister.
"Last night when you weren't here and Adagio put me to bed, I only got up and texted you because Adagio didn't to any of the things you usually do. All she did was kind of tuck me in, turn my nightlight on and then leave after muttering a simple goodnight and nothing else." Sonata explained to her older sister.
"Nata, I know you don't like it when she puts you to bed because she doesn't do it right, but, you do need to understand that she doesn't know what to do and she isn't as close with you as I am." Aria explained softly to her younger sister who was staring at her intently.
"I know she doesn't know what to do, I just like when you do it because you know what you're doing and know how to do it right.
"Well that's understandable." Aria replied quietly.
Aria watched as Sonata yawned and knew she was tired because it was well past her bedtime. She got herself comfortable again and allowed Sonata to cuddle up to her before they both fell asleep in Aria's bed.
"Ari." Sonata whispered a couple minutes later.
"What?" Aria asked her sister as she opened her eyes to look at her, thinking she needed something.
"Thanks for letting me sleep with you these past few nights. I know I tend to hog the bed sometimes and move and kick a lot but I don't mean to. It's just something I do." Sonata answered, thanking her sister for her kindness.
"No problem Nata, I don't do it out of pity for you, I do it because I love you and care about you." Aria replied, gently reaching over and hugging her sister lightly.
"I love you to. Goodnight Ari." Sonata said as she soon drifted off to sleep again.
"Goodnight Nata." Aria said, she watched her sister sleep for a few minutes before kissing her gently on the cheek and drifting off to sleep herself.
