//------------------------------// // 21. Sonata And Tacos // Story: A Dazzling New Life // by Joshua the Dragonslayer //------------------------------// A few hours later after Tom proposed to Sunset, Tom decided to take everyone to dinner for the night. The place he took them to was an all-you-can-eat buffet and just like any all-you-can-eat buffet, it had everything imaginable. Pizza, burgers, tacos, seafood, pasta, everything. Tom being Tom got all six of them first-class spots. Nice spot away from other people, just the six of them going to get some dinner for the night like one big family. Once they got their plates they started to go and get all kinds of food for themselves. The Dazzlings were the most excited out of everyone. To go and have whatever food they wanted as much as they wanted. Now that was any kid's dream, especially with the sugary foods. Cakes, ice cream, cupcakes, and other kinds of sugary food they didn't even their name to. Whatever could fit on their plates they got it and a lot they did. While the Dazzlings were getting their food they went past the Mexican food aisle. As they passed the Mexican aisle, Sonata saw something that caught her eye. There was something with a hard shell to it, it has meat, cheese, and some lettuce on it. Sonata had never seen anything like it, to her it was a mystery. "Aria, Adagio, what is that?" Sonata said pointing to the mysterious food she had never seen before. "Sonata that's a taco. Haven't you had one before?" Adagio asked Sonata, she was surprised Sonata didn't know what a taco was already. "I wouldn't be asking you if I had one now would I?" Sonata asked Adagio. Adagio looked at Sonata surprised that she was able to fire back without effort. "Get one, trust me it's good. You're going to really like it." "Okay, whatever you say." Sonata said as she got a taco. The Dazzlings came back to their table with big plates that were full of food. Sunset, Tom, and Celestia were already back at the table eating. Once they saw the Dazzlings plates, however, things changed. "Adagio, Aria, Sonata, do you really think you can eat all of that? You girls probably took all the food with how big your plates are." Sunset said giggling at all the food the Dazzlings had. "We'll eat it all momma." Adagio said as she took a bite of her pizza slice. "Yeah, and plus I'm always hungry." Aria said with her mouth full of mac and cheese. "I didn't even get that much. I'm sure I can eat all of my food." Sonata said eating one of her chocolate cookies. "You better eat all of that. If you girls get a stomach ache don't come crying to me. It's your fault for getting so much food." Sunset said as she started eating her own food. "Okay, we won't." Aria said taking a bite of her pizza. As everyone was eating their food, Tom and Sunset were agreeing on what the wedding should have and whatever kinds of things you got to do when planning a wedding. The Dazzlings were also trying to help... TRYING to help. Sure they were able to help with a few things but some ideas were a little too crazy. And most of the time they just argued with each other. Well, to be exact it was Adagio and Aria. Sonata just happily ate her food. "I don't understand why we can't have a shark at the wedding." Aria said as she waved her fork around. "You know how cool it would be to have a shark at a wedding?" "And what would happen if the shark got out of his cage or something?" Adagio asked Aria. "How could it escape? Plus it would be on land, the shark would die once it gets out." Aria said. "No, it wouldn't. Have you even been paying attention in class? The shark won't die once it gets out, it'll take a while for it to die. Having a shark at the wedding would be a bad idea." Adagio said. "Unless of course you want to have your foot bit off or worse, half your body." "I'm going to have to agree with Adagio on that one. Sorry Aria, but having a shark would be a threat to everyone that came to the wedding." Celestia said looking down at Aria. "Fine, but the next wedding there better be a shark at it." Aria said as she grumbled eating some of her pasta. "Now what about the location of the wedding?" Sunset asked "A church, just like all other weddings." Sonata said finally speaking instead of eating like she had been doing. "Any other ideas?" Tom asked around. Nobody said anything. "At a church it is. Great idea Sonata." Tom said as he wrote it down, as Sonata happily smiled. While Sunset and Tom kept on asking some other questions, Sonata continued eating. She still had the taco on her plate, but she was planning on saving it for last. She was mostly scared because she had never had one before. Well, Sonata was always scared to try new things, that's just who she was. Adagio and Aria had already eaten all of their food and they were going to get another plate. Sonata would have liked to go with them but she still had a taco on her plate and Sunset had told her that she had to finish everything on her plate. She kept on staring at it thinking that she was going to somehow burn the taco away. Celestia looks at Sonata as Sonata keeps on looking at the taco. "Sonata you should try a bite of it. It may be different for you but you're going to like it. If you don't like it then I'll just eat it for you." Celestia said smiling at Sonata. "O-okay, I'll take a little bite." Sonata said as she slowly reached for the taco. Sonata picks up the taco and looks at it from all angles. The taco looked good, and it smelt good. Hopefully, it tasted just as good as it smelt and looked. Sonata cautiously took the taco up to her mouth and took a bite of it. Immediately a spark came into Sonata's mouth. This taco had to be one of the best things she had ever eaten. From the crunchy shell to the warm meat, and the cheesy cheese. All of it tasted so good to Sonata. Sonata happily munched on the taco with a smile on her face. "So how do you like the taco, Sonata?" Celestia asked even though she already knew the answer. "It's the best! I'm going to get some more once I'm done with this one." Sonata said quickly finishing the taco and getting back up. "Well, I'm glad you like it. Just be sure not to grab too many tacos. Save some for everyone else." Celestia told her. "Okay, I will." Sonata said getting up and heading to get some more tacos. Sonata headed over to get some more tacos, and as she did she met up with her sisters. "Adagio, you were right tacos really are good. Want to come with me to get some?" Sonata asked. "Sure I'll come with you. I'm glad you like the tacos, I wouldn't lie to you now would I." Adagio said as she and Sonata made their way to the tacos. "Yeah, Aria's normally the one that lies to me. But thankfully I have one sister that doesn't lie to me." Sonata said with a smile. "That's just how Aria is, she just does it for fun." Adagio said. "So how do you think Tom's and our mom's wedding will go?" "I'm sure it'll be a nice wedding. I just can't wait to see our momma finally get married. We'll finally be able to call someone our dad." Sonata said as she then picked up a few tacos. "You really want Tom to be our dad?" Adagio asked as she grabbed a taco for herself. "I mean he's nice to mom and he's never rude to us before. I think he'll be a great father to us. Even, Auntie Celestia said that Tom would be a great husband to momma. So I believe that Tom will be a great father to us." Sonata said as she looked at her plate happy with all the tacos she had. "I guess your right, but does that mean we can call Tom dad or Tom?" Adagio asked. "I guess we'll have to ask Tom that question. But I'm going to call him dad, you and Aria can call him whatever you want to call him." Sonata said as she started making her way back to the table. "I'm sure me and Aria will call him dad as well." Adagio said as she followed Sonata. "I'm sure he'll like that very much." Sonata said with a bright smile. Adagio and Sonata got their food and went back to the table. Both of them enjoyed their food and talked with each other. They couldn't wait for the wedding to happen. To see their mother get married and finally have a dad after years without having one. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata couldn't wait for Thursday to arrive on the day of the wedding.
