Kno--No, no, no...

The single human standing on the stage blinked at the simultaneous 'no's' she heard echoing from around the room. "Wha-What's up?"

Please... Just leave.

"But I just got here."

No! No, no. We insist, leave.

Nothing personal. We just don't want to talk about you.

"For realsies? Why not?"

A bad history with YOUR kind...

"...Blue people?"

We're walking a minefield, Cap'n.

Chill... Chill... We've got this...

"Good. Someone's gotta have it. Or, like, no one has it, right?"

Queeny! She won't stop!

Get the prodding rod!

Slowly, from the shadows came a long metal rod, which started to poke Sonata's side and nudge her. "Owww... Why're you poking me? That's mean..."

Just leave! Please.

The fan letters, Sonata. We can already feel them!

Just leave and take Adagio with you!

"Adagio...? OH!" Sonata quickly bent down and picked up a wet carrot, cradling close with a wide grin. "There you are Adagio! Mkay, bye!" The siren waved off whoever was talking to her and skipped off the stage into the shadows.

...I'm scared, Cap'n.

We all are... We all are.

...At least she took the carrot with her.

You mean Adagio?
