After the siren sisters finished their baths, they came out in towels to navigate to the closet their host had told them about formerly. Opening it up, there were indeed an abundance of women's clothes upon hangers and even shoes, boots, jackets, the works. Taking advantage of this, Sonata quickly jumped into the clothes and began looking for something to wear, being in her own little heaven with the countless clothing ensembles and endless possibilities.
However, Aria was nowhere near as enthusiastic about the clothes, a hateful glare upon her irritated face as she turned and went back into the bathroom for her old clothes, only to find they were gone, a note in their place that read "In the wash, sorry. - Code". She growled in annoyance at the clothing kidnapping and came back out to see Sonata still searching around and trying on different articles. Aria pushed past her and grabbed her own clothes deciding not to think on it too much. Stepping out of the closet she openly stripped herself of the towel as she changed into the clothes she'd taken.
Outside of the room, Code was currently cooking, wearing an apron that said 'Geeks Cook Too!'. As he turned to the cupboard to grab a spice he could hear a light groan coming from the couch. Hearing this, he placed it down and walked over briskly to Adagio's side, seeing that some color had begun to return to her face, but not by much. She shook her head a bit slowly and gazed up at Code with her tired, magenta eyes. "Where... Am I?" She said with a voice as equally tired and weak as she looked at the moment.
Code gave a slight smile and knelt down to her, "You're at my place, my name is Scripted Code. I found you and your friends on the street and I brought you here." He explained calmly.
"My... Friends?" Adagio thought before her brain clicked and she shot up, "Aria and Sonata!" She said in surprise before growing dizzy and falling back down to her place on the couch, Code gently leading her back down so she wouldn't hit her head and make it worse for herself.
"Whoa there, take it easy. You're sick. Don't worry about them, they're fine.
They're just getting cleaned up is all." He said pressing the back of his hand to her forehead to feel for the fever, "You're not as hot as you were... That's good..." He said thankfully.
Adagio gave a soft chuckle that quickly turned to a light coughing as she looked up at him, "Sick? I am sick? That's interesting..." She said as if she'd just heard a badly timed joke. She could tell he was right though; her body felt awful and heavy, her nose was filled with something gross, her face was hot. She sighed and looked up to him, "Well... What of my sisters? Are they 'sick' as well?"
"No, they're fine. Well... Sonata is." He said in a partially joking manner.
"Of course... Sonata told you who we were, I'm guessing?" She asked almost as if already knowing the answer. Before he could respond the two of them heard the door down the hall to the guest bedroom open and the sound of footsteps coming down.
Turning the corner were Sonata and Aria in their new outfits; Sonata wearing a bright pink tank top and magenta shorts with dark blue and flamingos pink leggings while Aria wore a black t-shirt and jeans with a chain hooked onto the belt loops. Seeing Adagio awake, Sonata gasped and jumped over the couch to tightly embrace her, "Dagi!" She shouted in excitement and relief as she clung to her, Adagio gasping and giving a sigh hugging her back while Aria walked around with her arms crossed, her eyes softer but still irritated greatly.
Seeing her face, Code sighed and stood as he looked down at her, "Enjoy the bath?" He asked kindly before she shoved him away from the three, catching him by surprise as she stood by her sisters with clenched fists.
"Aria, what're you--"
"Shut up, Sonata." Aria demanded, Sonata falling silent as Aria then glanced over to Adagio, "What... Were you thinking?" She said angrily as Adagio looked at her confusedly, "Don't play dumb..." She said threateningly.
"Aria, I don't know who you think you're--"
"To a coward that broke in a moment of weakness and begged a human for help!" Aria shouted as she stomped, making Sonata jump as Adagio's eyes opened wide. Aria clenched her teeth and shoved Sonata off of her and to the floor as she grabbed Adagio by her collar, "Answer me, Adagio! Why did you beg him for help!?"
Code quickly took hold of Aria's hands and seperated the two, Aria fighting and flailing against him as he pulled her back and sat her down on the other side of the couch, "Stop it!" He said as she glared at him and growled. Ignoring her for a moment, he turned to Sonata, "Are you alright Sonata? Are you hurt?" He asked with worry. Sonata forced herself onto her feet but fell back onto her backside, a wave of dizziness washing over her. Seeing this, Adagio and Code grew worried looks as he turned back to Aria, "Don't move... Okay?" He said letting her go and rushing over to Sonata who groaned and grumbled.
Helping her onto her feet he sat her down next to Adagio, "Hey, are you okay?" He asked to which she shook her head and groaned, tightly holding her stomach. It then occured to him what was going on as he raced into the kitchen and came back with an open box of cheese crackers which she quickly took and began devouring, a sigh of relief coming from he and Adagio as Sonata ate, "Hungry, of course. You three must be starv--"
"What, you think some food and clothes will keep us compliant or something? We're not your fucking pets..." Aria said defiantly as she looked away.
"Compliant? What're you--"
"Don't play stupid. All you humans are the same; you find someone who's down and then you pick them back up and make them your personal playthings. And stop talking to us like we're your friends, cause we're not."
"I wouldn't mind being his friend..." Sonata said before shoveling in another handful of crackers.
"Thanks Sonata--"
"Shut up, Sonata." She said glaring at her, "Do I have to remind you again about all the things the humans have done to us?" She growled as Sonata deflated back and continued quietly eating.
"Look, Aria... I don't know what happened to you all and I doubt you'll tell me... And if you really want to leave that badly, I won't stop you. But I promise, I'm nothing like the others you've met... Don't exactly know why you refer to your own race so terribly but I won't judge." He said with a shrug, "I don't want to control you all, I want to help you--"
"Help us? Yeah right..." She said turning her head to the side to no longer face him, her gaze going to the balcony window that was currently covered up.
"It's true. I don't know you, any of you. I know it's weird for a stranger like me to be so open to helping others but I want to. That's just who I am." He said looking to Adagio and Sonata by his side, the two of them looking at him as he smiled, "I'm a caring person, as my friends would say... Sometimes a little too trusting too, but I don't mind." He chuckled softly as he walked up to Aria who quickly stood up to him, being a half a foot shorter as she glared up at him with irritation and distrust, "I'm not an enemy you have to fight, Aria... I want to be your friend. So... Will you let me?" He asked holding out his hand to her.
She looked down at his hand and then up to him as she pushed past him and crossed her arms. He sighed and nodded, walking past and to the kitchen before hearing, "Spicy."
"Uh... What?" Code asked turning back around to look at Aria, the other two doing the same.
"I like my food spicy. So if it isn't, I'm kicking your ass. Got it?" Aria said glaring at him with a bit huffier of a face. It was a bit childish but in a cute way.
Code blinked for a second and smiled as he nodded, "You got it." He said as he turned back and went to the food he'd been working on, Sonata smiling wide as she sat with Adagio who had a tired, warm smile on her face as Aria plopped down next to them with her arms crossed. Looking back at the three, he held onto his smile and gave a sigh, "What a day..."
"What was that, human?"
"Nothing Aria."
"Whatever. Where's the remote?"
"Ooh, let's watch the pet store show!"
"Hell no! We're watching a horror flick."
"No way~! Those are way too scary!" Sonata cried before having her nose flicked by Aria which she then returned by pinching her own nose before Adagio pushed them apart.
"Alright. Neither of you get the remote! Besides... That fashion runway show is coming on soon and I'm not missing it."
"Hey!" Sonata and Aria both whined as Adagio held the remote and flipped on the TV, making Code laugh before having a bangle thrown at the back of his head.
"Stop laughing and get cooking, loser!" Aria shouted as she begrudgingly sat back down and watched the fashion show.
"Right, right." He said chuckling a bit as he continued on. In just a few hours, and a few mishaps, he finally could cook in peace. 'Man... And to think I was just out for batteries.' he thought to himself with a light chuckle and a shake of his head.
