//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 - The taste of sugar. // Story: Anidate me please // by CaioCoia //------------------------------// "I can't believe it. FillySecondSD. Wait a second... Filly Second. SD? Sonata Dusk? Oh my God." I said while I facepalm myself while she still was giving me an apologetic face. "I know, I know. My sister Aria reacted the same, but that's not important anyway, I'm so sorry about the coconut lie... I WAS IN PANIC." Sonata hold her hands together and with an extreme apologetic face she said to me, to be honest she saying she was in panic and said the first lie over her mind it was a fact many people would. "It was pure luck that there was indeed a Brazillian coconut tree over the roof, it was a miracle we didn't need to go the police." "So you didn't actually put a coconut tree over their roof?" I asked while she looked at me like I said an absurd, which thinking about it, or even in the situation of what happened on that day was indeed an absurd. "Are you crazy? Do you know the bureaucracy you would need just to bring a foreign tree from other country? Adagio signed a 70 pages paperwork just to bring 3 trees from Brazil. Not only the process would take a looooong time. It would have be a waste to bring a tree just to place on that roof." Sonata showed me good points on how absurd would be, not because the sound itself it was a crazy idea, but the process itself would be more absurd than already stated. "Even if we have 4 coconut trees, 4 guarana trees, 3 Brazillian chestnut tree, and 3 Açaí trees, we would never give up one of our trees just to place over a roof. Tell me about a waste." After hearing that, I raised my eyebrow while I couldn't help but ask. "So do you have these trees?" I asked while she just shrugged. "Trust me, Aria loves her guaraná more than energetic drinks, she say's it's a natural energy drink so it was healthy for her. And trust me, don't ever tell Adagio açaí has taste of earth, because she would eat your hand if you tell something about her favorite dessert." Sonata said like it was an ordinary day on her life. While me is surprising about the new things you can learn about celebrities. "So about the coconut tree over the roof?" I decided to go back to the main topic. "It was pure luck, some people say I'm a lucky person, but that was the first time I witness something on this level of luck. Specially knowing the stories I heard about your mothers." Sonata sounded afraid, I wouldn't blame her, from what I told my adms from Metube, they are indeed scaring people, which I'm glad everything worked out. We talked a few more minutes until Chavo came with a tray of a cake over it. While he looked surprisingly calm. It seems he really got over that. At the moment he stepped on my left he left the tray of cake over there. While at moment I was excited to taste the cake, suddenly Chavo gasped. "Oh no, I did it again." The moment I was going to take a piece of the cake, Chavo took the try of the table. "Hey what the hell?" I said while I looked at Chavo who went from my left and walked by my right and then laid the trey over the table. "I always forget it was supposed to laid the trey by the right and take of by the left. Sorry." Chavo said sheepishly while my eyes were twitching, while Sonata was giggling on her place. "That's alright Chavo, thank you for your assistance, say to Patty I said hi." After saying that, Chavo walked over the other tables while Sonata was admiring the cake. "Oh my God, I can't wait to eat the cake." "Hello kids." Then a voice coming from my right made me and Sonata look at the person beside us. It was an elegant blond lady which seemed to be a domestic ma'am but has the empowerment of an independent woman. Oh my god I think she is the kind of person my mothers would be friends with. "Do you want some coffee?" Usually I'm not a big fan of coffee, but seeing Sonata so excited to see the lady, maybe she knows about her. "Hey Florinda, thank you for making the cake, and yes we would love to take your coffee." Sonata smiled at me like saying, 'trust me, you will love it.' look. Which I couldn't help but accept the offer, and the lady beside us smiled while she fulfilled 2 cups with her coffee. "Thank you Florinda, tell Kiko and the teacher Girafales I said hi to them." Sonata said while I looked at the gleam over Florinda's eyes, while she smiled while she went back to the kitchen. "Spike you gotta taste this coffee, from what Chavo told me this coffee was so good that one teacher married her." That really surprised me, which made me look at Sonata in awe. Then I looked at the coffee, which looked interesting after hearing that. "Oh yeah by the way." Sonata told me while she was adding a spoon of sugar over her coffee. "Soon me and the voice acting cast will make a pizza dinner on a restaurant. And for making out the problems you passed with me stalking you and my sisters kidnapping you... and your sisters... and your friend. Could you go with me? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassseeeeeee?" Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. "Are you asking me to meet the Power Ponies's cast with you? While going to a pizza dinner with you?" I asked in astonishment while she nodded to me. But wait... I was looking at Sonata's hand, she was still adding more sugar over her coffee cup... Then she mixed up. "Yeah, would you go with me?" Her voice snapped from my thoughts while I couldn't help but smile widely at her and nod to her. "YEAH. I mean, thank you so much Spike." I decided to ignore her cheering, while I suddenly I looked at my shoes, it was with loose knot, I went my body down to tied the knot firmly. When I got up I looked at Sonata who was sweating and with a forced smile. "What happened?" I asked unsure. "Nothing, it's just maybe it was too hot over here. Hahaha." She laughed forcefully, which made me raise my eyebrow. I decided to ignore that and then taste my coffee... I tasted it, and by my surprise it was with little sweet, but the bitter taste overworked the coffee... I felt the tingling in my mouth, then I decided to add more 3 spoons of sugar over the coffee... And after tasting again, man that coffee tasted good, wow, now I understand why a teacher married her. While I savored the taste of coffee, I looked at Sonata who was looking at me in disbelief and shocked. "What? What's the matter?" I saw her eyes twitching, while she shook her head. "Nothing, just ignore me. I will take my coffee too." Sonata them gulped from her cup, which made me look at her in surprise, how can someone drink a cup with a lot of sugar inside of a cup with the coffee? "Okay, so tell me more about yourself and your sister Sonata." I decided to carry on a bit more with the conversation while I took a piece of cake for me to eat. She smiled at me and then we started to talk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pov Sunset: few minutes ago. Watching my brother breaking down at the revelation of Sonata being one of his Admin of Metube was something I suspected he would do, and then face-palming himself from the obvious nickname of the girl in front of him was something I wouldn't blame him in doing it. "Yeah, I reacted the same way, but I can say, ignorance is a blessing, since nobody noticed that even today." Aria Blaze shrugged while she started drinking a brown-yellow liquid, while she smiled after tasting. "Ah, the taste of heaven." My eyebrow raised from such statement, what she was drinking anyway? Well, not my problem. I already finished eating 2 boxes of sushi and one of yakisoba, I'm already full of food, but it seems this 2 girls eat a lot, since they ketp eating like it was nothing, and Adagio was the only one who took from the fridge a huge cup of what would be a deep purple gelato, but it doesn't look like one. I have nothing else to do than just keep looking at the screen. " I'm so sorry about the coconut lie... I WAS IN PANIC. It was pure luck that there was indeed a Brazillian coconut tree over the roof, it was a miracle we didn't need to go the police." I looked at the girls in disbelief. Which them nodded to me like they wouldn't believe it too, and they were even there, "So you didn't actually put a coconut tree over their roof?" "Ha, if you think I would bring a coconut tree from Brazil and sign a pile of paperwork just for the kidnapping? No thank you." Adagio scoffed like she wasn't even thinking about doing something absurd like that. I was curious about what she meant about it. "Are you crazy? Do you know the bureaucracy you would need just to bring a foreign tree from other country? Adagio signed a 70 pages paperwork just to bring 3 trees from Brazil. Not only the process would take a looooong time. It would have be a waste to bring a tree just to place on that roof." Okay never mind, knowing this of course would be a pain in the butt to bring a tree from other country, but now I have a question. "So you know the process?" I asked while she shrived from remembering that. "The paperwork, it seems it wasn't going to end... I passed the entire day reading and signing, I promised myself to never bring more than 1 tree per opportunity. It would just be a headache without end." Adagio massaged her nose, trying to calm herself down. "Even if we have 4 coconut trees, 4 guarana trees, 3 Brazillian chestnut tree, and 3 Açaí trees, we would never give up one of our trees just to place over a roof. Tell me about a waste." The moment she said that, Adagio and Aria nodded in approval of what she said. "That's true, I wouldn't give my Guaraná stock to no one." Aria said while she drank another glass of the liquid, it seems it was the fruit of the tree she was proud of. "Yeah, if someone would take my dessert, I would give the beat of his life, imagine trying to take my tree. And giving our tree to a stranger? No freaking way." Adagio said while she smiled at eating more of her purple frozen dessert. "Trust me, Aria loves her guaraná more than energetic drinks, she say's it's a natural energy drink so it was healthy for her." "That's true." Aria said while burping from her drink. "One fruit like that could be equal in energy as coffee and still be sweat as soda. It's a great fruit." "And trust me, don't ever tell Adagio açaí has taste of earth, because she would eat your hand if you tell something about her favorite dessert." "HEY, THAT HAPPENED JUST ONCE." Adagio blushed while she screamed in outrage. While Aria laughed. "She is never gonna let you go from this. Hahaha," Aria smirked while Adagio grumbled something I couldn't hear. "So..." "Please, don't ask." Adagio blushed furiously while Aria giggled. "Okay." I decided to drop this topic, it seems something I wouldn't want to know. After a while we saw Chavo passing through them with a cake on his tray, I saw Adagio and Aria grinning evilly. "Which side do you think it will be?" Aria asked. "Left, he always go to the left when it comes about the dessert." Adagio said while she watched Chavo take away the tray from the table on Spike's side, leaving him outraged. And making both sisters laugh, while making me look at them weird. "Man Florinda really made his mind when it comes about serving. Hahaha." "I always forget it was supposed to laid the trey by the right and take of by the left. Sorry." Oh, that makes more sense now... While I watched my little brother having a twitching eye, we couldn't help but giggle from his suffering. After Chavo got out from the way, one woman appeared with a pot of coffee on her hands, she looked what I would say my mother, she looked strong but elegant as well. Even offering coffee, Spike spoke like if he was replying to someone like mom. Yeah, if I met her I would do the same. "Who is she?" I asked curious, while I saw Adagio and Aria looking at Florinda like they admire her. "Oh, that's Florinda." Aria said while she checked her cellphone. "Man, she is one of the few people which I would like to challenge to a fight. I remember she once broke all the bones of a man. That woman really deserves respect." At the moment she went back to the kitchen, I watched Sonata started talking while she didn't stop pouring sugar over her cup. I watched that scene in disbelief while I prefer to give my attention of the conversation. "Stupid." I heard Aria grumble while Adagio shook her head, while we heard Sonata talking. "Soon me and the voice acting cast will make a pizza dinner on a restaurant. And for making out the problems you passed with me stalking you and my sisters kidnapping you... and your sisters... and your friend. Could you go with me? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassseeeeeee?" That moment I saw Spike's mouth drop, while even I have to confess I wasn't expecting that. Spike was going to the convention to meet the creator of power ponies. It was his dream since he was a child. And from all the troubles he passed during days ago. He wouldn't be stupid to refuse the invitation, after today's date looked it went really well. He even asked if she really mean it, and she did, well my brother of course would accept. But then I saw he went to tied his knot on shoes. And while Spike went to tied his knot, I saw Sonata taking a gulp of coffee, and make an awful face... Of course, adding too much sugar on coffee would do that. Then something irate me. "What the hell?" I shouted while Sonata decided to change the cups of coffee between her and Spike, leaving him with the one with too much sugar. The moment I saw Spike getting up, and making a question, she looked awfully nervous... Oh come on Spike, you wouldn't be stupid to fall for that. "He is gonna drink, doesn't he?" Adagio asked, while I saw Aria nodding her head. And then he went, he took a gulp from the coffee, which made him have a bitter face, which I sighed in disappointment, then something weird passed over the screen... Spike added 3 more spoons of sugar over the too much sugar coffee... Making me, Adagio, and Aria look at the screen in disbelief. After taking another gulp. I saw Spike looking really satisfied with the flavor, while my brain, as the same as Aria, Adagio and even Sonata in front of him stopped working. Yeah Spike, you outdid yourself again...
