Nighttime quickly covered the skies in Canterlot as people were thriving beautifully with some of it's best restaurants, and kindest citizens. But even the best cities have a dark underbelly. And unfortunately for you, that's where you live. You've been living in a run down apartment as long as you can remember running away from your home to live in Canterlot. You didn't have any money to go off of, so this would have to do. Good thing for you, the water was nice, the plumbing worked, and the electricity was working, so you had no choice but to call it home. The only thing you brought with you when you left was a portable DVD player, and a collection of your favorite movies, so all you could do in your free time was watch your favorite movies.
You would sometimes imagine yourself as the main character in the movies you watched, and it would feel as if you were there with the characters. It wouldn't last all day though, as you still had to look for food.
"Hey Charity" you ask the owner of the run down apartment building you live in. "Can I borrow some money to buy myself grocery's?". Charity is a sketchy, but kind man with blue-ish skin with violet freckles and red-violet hair turning grey. He may not look trustworthy, but he really is a nice man. Even in the sketchiest part of the city you live in.
"I don't see why not. It's a dangerous world after all." He replies, as he gives you 25 dollars. You take the money, with the promise you'll give him the change, and head off to the grocery store, where you buy a bag of chips, a bottle of soda, and some fruits to balance out what else you got.
However, one night, while you were walking home from the store, you saw flashing red lights glowing over Canterlot High School.
"Is there a rave going on over there?" You ask yourself, as you walk a little closer, but not too close, to see what's happening. There, you see 3 giant monsters, an orange one, a purple one, and a blue one, all flying around the school, fighting off lasers of many different and beautiful colors. But something else was weird.
"This doesn't sound like a 'fight' fight" you thought to yourself, as the laser blasts didn't hear like gunfire, like what'd you hear in Star Wars or something.
"It sounds more like...music." You deduced, as instead of fighting, you were hearing singing instead. What was going on? Whatever it was, you weren't staying long to find out, so you ran back to your apartment as if you were being chased down by a bunch of monsters, or a military force, or something.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Charity asked, as you handed him the change to the groceries you got.
"I got a little...sidetracked." You said, as you take your food and head on back to your apartment. As you packed your things and headed to bead, you could still hear it though. The singing from the battle. It can't get out of your head. It won't let you sleep. What's going on?
The next morning, you wake up and take a quick shower, hoping you could wash away the song that was going in your head. Unfortunately, there wasn't such luck. But hey, at least you smelled better than you did before. Regardless, once you got all dressed to face the world for the day, you heard a loud scream. You peered outside to find a girl with blue skin and hair being chased by the Grocery Store owner. You saw, in the girl's hand, you saw a bag of chips and a small bag of apples. You ran downstairs and met up with Charity, who was fixing up a cup of coffee for himself.
"Charity, can I borrow another 20 dollars?" You asked him with a lack of breath.
"Sheesh kid, what's the rush? At this rate, I'm gonna be more broke than you." Charity taunted. You were more concerned about the chase you're gonna miss.
"I'm not gonna buy much, I promise!" You said, and Charity quickly hands you another 20$ bill, and you run outside and chase after the grocery store owner. After a while, you take a shortcut, and intercept the chase so both the girl and the store owner run into you.
"Hey, kid, what's wrong with you?" The store owner asked "This kid stole some food, and now she has to pay". You walk past the girl and hold up the 20$ bill for the store owner to see.
"How about I pay for her food?" You ask. The girl was about the sneak off with you as the distraction, but stopped when she heard you ask to pay for her. Nobody ever thought about her like that before.
"A 20 dollar bill is a bit much considering what little she stole. How about the two of you come with me so you could have some change?" The store owner asked, calming himself. The store owner started heading back to his shop, with you following close buy. You stop for a second, and realize the girl isn't following you. She's nervous about all of this, considering she was being chased a few seconds ago. But there was something else. You just couldn't quite put your finger on it.
"Hey, come on." You tell her, extending your hand asking for hers. She was still pretty nervous, grabbing hold of her long pony tail as a stress reliever, but after a few seconds, she finally grabbed hold and followed your lead. The two of you headed back, and you paid for her apples and chips, and got around 15 dollars in change for the food. The two of you finally left the store Scot free, and the girl felt relieved. So relieved, she might as well warm up to her new friend.
"You...want an apple?" She asked you, with one of the apples in her hand. You smiled and accepted her gift.
"So you do speak." you joked. You even got her to laugh a little. It was kind of relieving to see, considering that you've only seen her terrified up until now.
"So, what's your name?" You ask her, as you make it to the apartment building doors.
"I'm Sonata." She answers, stroking her hair again. She was nervous again, but at least she was smiling.
"Sonata? I think that's a beautiful name." You say, as you get closer to her. Though you two don't know it yet, it was the start of a beautiful relationship. Maybe even something more.
