We drive for a couple minutes, going swiftly through the streets of Canterlot, blooming to life as it turned dark. We soon make it to my house, where I just live alone. It was nice and small, which was alright with me. Besides, the inside looked absolutely dazzling. Speaking of dazzling...
"So, here it is." I told Sonata, who almost fell asleep in my car. She looked at it. She smiled, which looked cute.
"Great." she said. "Thank you so much for bringing me here. You have no idea how much this means to me. I mean, without a home..." Sonata trailed off, then gave out a sigh. "Never mind, you know what I was going to say." She got out of the car with the towel still wrapped around her.
I opened the door for her, and she walked into my house, giggling afterwards. Probably because I was being kind of a geek there. "So, here it is. I'm pretty sure you don't mind this, right?" I asked her. Not that my house was in bad shape or anything, I was just wondering how she felt about it. "It's a pretty neat place, don't ya think. You are going to stay here for the night, so-" I get cut off.
"A night?" Sonata said. "Why a night?" I then felt red from that being asked.
"Well... what you want to live here... w-with me?" I ask her. It seemed like she wants to live here.
She nods and smiles. "Of course, you're place is AMAZING, for realzies!" She plops herself on my couch, and she lets out a yawn. "I mean, is there anything wrong about me being your roommate?" She then seemed to frown a little. "It's not because you think I'm a villain, right? Believe me, I'm not. I just did what Adagio and Aria told me."
I quickly respond, "NO! Nothing like that. I just thought you wouldn't feel really well with me wanting you to stay at my place, that's all. You know? Cause... I'm a guy... you're a girl... that sort of thing... But anyways, no you are no villain at all. Not anymore." I turn on the TV for Sonata.
"Oh, OK. That's what I thought you meant... to say." Sonata said, bundling up in the towel still. She was getting dry quickly. During the time, she took off her hair elastic, letting her ponytail go free. It bothered me. But not in a bad way. She looked pretty cute and nice with her hair out like that, not like her hairstyle before was bad. She laid on the couch, bundling herself even more. The towel really wasn't big as a blanket, though. I felt dorky as I grabbed my huge blanket and put it over her on the couch. I blushed a bit as she smiled. "Oh, uh, thanks for that." she told me.
"No problem." I told her. "Anything for a new roommate... I guess." With that done, I head over to the shower and wash myself. I get my pajamas on, then head back to the living room, seeing Sonata still awake and watching TV. She was watching an episode of Victorious, a show about a teen girl who sings at a performing arts school. I usually watch the show at times, basically because the girl sings great! But, Sonata... I saw her try to sing.
Back at the Battle of the Bands, she and the others sang fantastic, until they were beaten by the Rainbooms. They sung horrible and out of key after that, for some reason. "When I make it shine..." she sang out of key. I didn't wanna be rude, but she sucked. But it's like her voice box just cracked, and her singing voice disappeared or something. I walked on over to my chair, and Sonata notices me. She gasps really quick and puts her hands over her mouth, as she was attempting to sing some more. "Oh, hehe, hey." she said.
"You like this show?" I ask her. "Ya, it's one of my favorite shows, too. I watch it at times, hearing some nice songs sung." Sonata looked down then. Oh crap. I think I might have brought her back a bit to her singing, which telling from earlier, she doesn't want me to hear it.
"Yeah. Singing..." she said. She attempted to sing again. "When I make it shine!" A small lightbulb broke at the pitch of her high and off-key voice. She buried her face in the pillow that was laying on the couch. "Oh, shoes! I just wish I can sing again." I raised my eyebrow.
"Why can't you sing?" I ask. She looked at me. "I mean, you DID sing with the other girls, and you did a fantastic job at that. After you... lost to the Rainbooms, you sang off-key. Why?" I kind of felt bad to ask such a personal question. "I'm sorry to ask that."
She let out a big sigh, and put her face off the pillow. "Well, it's a loooooong story." she said. "I can summarize it like this: Siren gems." She then sighed again. I raised my eyebrow again.
"Siren gems?" I questioned. "What in the heck our those?"
She sighed again, rested her head on her hand, and explained. "Siren gems are special gems that contain a special magic. A magic that can help us sing beautifully and gain power. Basically, how you people got under our spell and stuff, well, that was cause of that." She then opened her eyes, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a red shard. A small, precious blood-red shard. "This is a piece of it." Sonata tossed it to me, and I catch it. "Ya, those things were going to be used to take control of this place, as the other girls explained it, and I went along, wore it, and became one of them."
I stare at the shard, and see my reflection on it. "Wow." I said, very shocked at the look of it. "So, this was a piece of the pendant worn around your neck? You did wear a pendant, right?" I asked her. She nodded. "Huh."
"Yeah. I regret having it now. You can keep it if you want. I mean, it looks pretty, but it's useless to me and probably everyone else in the world." she told me. I held on to it, and put it in my pocket. She then yawned. "Guess it might be time to go to sleep. Don't ya think?"
I yawn. "Ya. Suppose so. Where are you going to sleep?" I ask. Sonata yawned again.
"I'll just sleep on the couch. Besides, this is comfy!" she responded, and so she laid her head on the pillow. "Goodnight, Shine."
"Goodnight, Sonata." I told her, and I headed towards my bedroom. I jump into my bed, and knock myself out. Man, what a day this was.
