//------------------------------// // Second Day - Movie Night: // Story: The Dazzlings 12 Days of Christmas // by Zenyattaluver677 //------------------------------// It was currently 6:00 at night and Aria was currently walking down the stairs to the basement to get Sonata so she could come upstairs for the movie night her and her sisters had planned to do that night. She stepped off the last step of the basement and then turned and walked across the basement towards her younger sister's playroom, which she saw that the door was open to, but she would still knock before entering when she got to it as she always did to let her sister know she was there and it was her. Upstairs, Adagio was putting the Apple TV they had in their living room on Netflix so they could watch some Christmas movies, she was also going to go upstairs to the storage closet and get a blanket she could use, since she knew she couldn't have the one that was on the couch because Aria and Sonata would probably be using it. "Nata." Aria softly said as she knocked on the door to her younger sister's playroom when she reached it. "Yeah?" Sonata asked, turning to look at her older sister. "Come on upstairs, we're going to watch the movies in a bit." Aria softly explained, gesturing for Sonata to come with her upstairs. "Ooh ok." Sonata excitedly said, getting up to follow her older sister back across the basement and up the stairs. Aria turned off the light in Sonata's playroom and gently shut the door once Sonata was standing next to her and then they both turned and walked back towards the stairs to head back up to the main floor of the house. "What movies are we going to watch Ari?" Sonata asked once they got to the basement stairs and began to walk up them. "Don't know yet, we're each going to pick a movie to watch." Aria softly answered, glancing over at her younger sister when they got to the top of the stairs and turned to walk down the hallway to the living room. As they walked, Aria turned out the hall light, since the Christmas lights that they had on the stair railing and banister were on, she'd turned out the basement light as well, and the living room lights were off except for the Christmas lights and the TV. The two of them entered the living room and walked over to the couch, Sonata watching as Aria grabbed the throw blanket and then sat down, patting the spot beside her and her lap, saying Sonata could choose where she wanted to sit. "Are we going to cuddle?" Sonata asked as she walked over and sat down on the couch next to Aria and then moved to sit on Aria's lap. "We sure are you little munchkin." Aria playfully replied as she put the blanket over top of both of them once Sonata was situated. "Oh good, you two are back." Adagio said when she entered the living room with a blanket in her hand. "Yeah, we are." Aria replied, looking over at her older sister while Sonata played with a couple strands of her hair. "Alright who wants to pick a movie first then?" Adagio asked as she walked over and sat down in her reclining chair, she was more convincing to get to watch Christmas movies because it didn't involve leaving the house and going out in the cold. "I do!" Sonata excitedly said, this made Aria smile. "Ok, what do you want then?" Adagio flatly asked again, picking the remote up once she was situated and switching through the Christmas movies slowly so Sonata could pick one. "Uh, that one." Sonata said when Adagio stopped on a movie called "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". "Ah, I like that one to." Aria said after seeing the movie Sonata wanted. "Alright, we'll watch this first then." Adagio said as she put the movie on and then set the remote down on the side table beside her reclining chair and they began to watch the movie. Sonata rested the left side of her head on Aria's right shoulder while they watched the movie and had her arms gently wrapped around Aria's waist. Aria gently had her right arm wrapped over Sonata and the blanket was over top of them, Aria looking down every few minutes as she often did to check on Sonata and kissed her forehead every few times she looked down. *1 HOUR & 34 MINUTES LATER* "I liked that movie." Sonata said as Adagio switched off the movie once it ended so they could go to another one, it was now 7:34 at night. "I did to. Who's picking now?" Aria said, asking who was picking the next movie. "You can, I really don't care." Adagio answered, glancing over at her younger sisters who were still cuddling on the couch. "Ok, how about we watch The Polar Express." Aria replied, looking down and smiling at Sonata once she did. "Alright then. There we go." Adagio said once she put The Polar Express on the TV. The three of them then began to watch the movie again, Sonata watched the movie with a bit more focus than the first movie and Aria was happy that Sonata was interested in the movie and seemed to be trying to understand the concept of it, which if she didn't, Aria would tell her. Aria gently pulled the blanket over both of them more and then gently took the ponytail out of her sister's hair and put the elastic around her wrist so she'd remember to put it in Sonata's container when she put Sonata to bed. *1 HOUR & 40 MINUTES LATER* "Ok, this one's over. Now, before I pick, I'm going to grab something from the kitchen to snack on." Adagio explained as she got up out of her reclining chair and walked towards the doorway that led from the living room to the kitchen. It was now 9:04pm, Sonata would go to bed in about an hour. "Did you like that movie Nata?" Aria softy asked once Adagio left. "Yeah, I really liked the ending." Sonata answered, looking up at her older sister. "Me to." Aria softly replied, gently leaning down and kissing Sonata's forehead, "I love you Nata." she added once she finished kissing her sister. "I love you to Ari." Sonata sweetly replied, smiling at her older sister after Aria kissed her. "Ok, I'm back." Adagio said as she walked back into the living room and went and sat back down in her recliner and put the blanket she was using back over herself, "Now, the movie I'm picking is A Christmas Prince." she added before flipping to the movie she wanted and they began watching it after she clicked it on. "Ooh, ninety two minute runtime, she might fall asleep." Aria said, letting Adagio know Sonata might fall asleep as the movie would go past her bedtime. "Ok, that's fine I guess." Adagio replied, annoyed that Sonata might fall asleep but knew it was something her youngest sister often did when she didn't go to bed at her bedtime, which was 10:00pm. *1 HOUR LATER* It was now 10:06pm, Aria looked down at Sonata and saw that her younger sister had fallen asleep, the movie only had thirty two minutes left on it and Aria didn't know for sure when Sonata'd fallen asleep but she'd been awake for most of the movie. Aria gently pulled the portion of the blanket that was on Sonata up so it was covering the base of Sonata's neck and then gently moved Sonata's head to rest it on the base of her own neck with her left hand. "Did she fall asleep?" Adagio asked Aria, saying it quieter than normal in case Sonata was asleep, so Aria wouldn't get mad at her. "Yeah she did." Aria answered, looking back at the TV once she knew Sonata was comfortable enough to sleep where she was until the movie ended. "Ah, I see." Adagio replied, also looking back at the TV. *32 MINUTES LATER* "That was a good movie." Adagio said once the movie ended. "Yeah, I'm going to take her to bed." Aria replied, slowly moving the blanket and getting off the couch to take Sonata upstairs to bed. "Ok, have fun." Adagio said, watching as Aria left the living room with Sonata. Aria quietly walked down the hall and then up the stairs to Sonata's room so she could get her sister to put on her pajamas, brush her teeth, take her anxiety medication and then go to bed, as it was already past her bedtime.
