Adagio wrapped her spiky band on her hair and put on her shoes. She stared at herself in the mirror and blew a kiss to herself. She looked at the bathroom clock.
"8:30? Let's do this." She said to herself and walked down the hallway.
She stopped at one of the doors and found a sticky note on the knob.
Dear Dagi,
I hate driving! I'll never let you push me into driving you and Aria everywhere! Never! I've decided I'm moving out and will find a place to live, so don't look for me.
-Sonata
Adagio rolled her eyes and flicked the card away. She managed to unlock the door and entered the usually messy room. She found a giant lump in the bed and walked closer.
"Oh poor Sonata. She really thinks this is over." Adagio ripped off the blankets and found a bunch of pillows. "Well played."
Adagio turned back towards the door and walked away.
"I guess she's gone. I'll never see that little dimwit again." Adagio said to no-one. "Well that's the end of that."
She gently shut the door and left it open by one inch...then she bolted the door open and grabbed a blue hand hidden the bed.
"Did you really think I'd buy that crap?!" Adagio yanked Sonata from under the bed.
Sonata squealed as she was face to face with Adagio.
"Hi, Dagi..." Sonata twisted her fingers and stared at Adagio's angry face. "I've got nothing."
Sonata tried to crawl back under the bed, but Adagio grabbed her bare foot. She pulled her out again and Sonata tried to crawl away like a trapped cat.
"Hiss. Hiss." Sonata swiped at her captor.
"Sonata, there's no way out of this." Adagio said as she pulled Sonata to the door. "If I can get Aria to learn, I can get you too."
"No. I've already learned to cook, can't I just take the bus?"
"It's better for you to drive then rely on some lousy scheduled torture wagon." Adagio had both Sonata's legs under her arm.
"Can't I just take a professional test at the DMV or something?"
"Bullcrud! You'd be stuck in there for hours and besides were banned from that place for life. If we want to learn, I have to teach you and pass you as your teacher."
"How did you become a driving teacher? Why are we even banned?" Sonata was off the ground and helpless to Adagio's strength.
"Because Aria was the last one to go to the DMV and now it's a burning pile of ash and I got my license first with a license to teach. Ow!" Adagio yelled from the pain of Sonata scratching her leg and hissing even more.
"Stop it." Adagio smacked Sonata on her soft butt and carried her to the bathroom. She dropped Sonata right in front of the door.
"Thanks for caring, Adagio. I really love how you care so much for me." Sonata said at Adagio's legs. She looked up and pulled a cute smile. She was sure cuteness would convince Adagio to let her stay home.
"No problem. Now get ready!" Adagio grabbed Sonata by her pajama collar and waist and threw her into the bathroom.
"Ow." Sonata moaned revealing her exposed lower half to Adagio.
"And put on some tighter pants." Adagio blushed and looked away.
-A few minutes later-
"Buckle up." Adagio sat in the passenger side of the big purple car. Sonata looked like a confused baby and she was ready to make a run for it.
"Sonata, I promise if I get out of this car to chase you, you're gonna end up in that dumpster." Adagio was serious.
Sonata admitted defeat and took off her purse for the experience and threw it in the back seat.
"Ow! What the-" A purple figure was swearing in the back seat. "Oh God."
Aria was in her pajamas and tried to exit the car, but Adagio placed a few handcuffs on her.
"What in-?! Let me outta here!"
"I asked you to help me get Sonata out of bed and since you ditched that experience, you're helping her learn." Adagio folded her arms.
"No! What are these made out of? They're stronger than metal."
"Doesn't matter. I keep a pair in my hair for cases like you." Adagio smiled.
"What else do you have?" Sonata asked.
"You shut up and drive." Adagio told Sonata, who met her request and turned on the car.
"Shift the car out of park." Adagio continued.
"Our home is a park? How do we get out? Do I drive it on a sidewalk?" Sonata asked.
Adagio face palmed.
"She means take that little cane at the front and move it." Aria said in the back seat, while trying to undo her cuffs.
Sonata met the request and put the car out of park and into drive.
"Step on the gas pedal." Adagio rubbed her forehead.
"Ew." Sonata pinched her nose.
"Sonata." Adagio said in a serious tone.
Sonata pressed the gas pedal and the car bolted forward and stopped two feet in front of a wall. Adagio was glad she had her seatbelt and so did Sonata, However for Aria...
"Sweet Sam, Sonata! Drive like a person not a stomp happy kangaroo!" Aria's face collided with the back of Adagio's chair.
"Nobody likes a backseat driver!" Sonata yelled at Aria.
"Nobody's gonna like black eye that last for two weeks! Now take it slow and drive near the exit." Adagio raised a fist at the two.
Sonata backed down and gently moved the car out of the parking space and in front of the public road. Sonata shivered in her chair and then a demanding finger pointed towards the road. Adagio put a cap that said "Student Driver" on the top of the car.
The three sirens were now on the road, with Sonata quivering like a baby at the wheel, Aria in her pajamas and shackled to the chair, and Adagio determined to fulfill her task of teaching Sonata to drive.
"Why didn't we just let the little blue baby drive on a closed course?" Aria asked angrily and rattling her cuffs.
"Because you've gotten us banned from every course in town."
"It's not my fault that people don't want to share the road."
"But it is your fault that each of them was found knocked out on the road!" Adagio raised her voice.
"That trial was complete bull-! Sonata, stop driving on the wrong side of the road!" Aria hit her head on the side of the car.
"But I thought the left side was the right side!" Sonata panicked.
"No the right side is the right side, block head!" Aria yelled at her.
"That doesn't make any sense! Which side is the right side?!" Sonata screamed.
"The right side is the right side!"
"I can't tell what you mean! Stop using paradoxes on me!"
Adagio grabbed Sonata's face and pointed towards the right side of the road.
"There!" She pointed.
"Sonata swayed towards the right side and returned to a gentle speed.
The trio sighed in relief.
"Adagio, can we please go home, before Sonata goes kamikaze and kills us?" Aria looked a little nauseous. "If we die in driving accident by Sonata, that fortune teller would be right and I'd lose a bet."
"Complain all you want. She's making progress." Adagio folded her arms. "Sonata make a turn here."
Sonata accidentally drove past the turn.
"I can fix that." Sonata beamed.
She turned around the car and went back to the turn, but the problem was that this was a one way street.
"Look out, Sonata!" Aria clenched the cushion near her hands.
"Turn around again!" Adagio scooted back and clenched the seat.
"Oh really?" Sonata asked.
She turned the car around, but managed to get in the turn she missed. Aria was swallowing her dinner again, since she never had breakfast.
"That's it, Adagio! I'm getting outta here!" Aria immediately used her bare feet to steal the key and unlock her cuffs.
"Drive a bit faster, Sonata." Adagio instructed.
Sonata drove faster and Aria was left without a choice, she had to stay in the car. To make matters worse...
*snap*
"There we go." Adagio smiled. She handcuffed Aria's hands and feet to the top and bottom of her chair and locked the key in the glove compartment. "Never hurts to keep a spare."
Aria groaned, but she was in luck, all Sonata had to do to finish the job was drive through downtown and head home.
"Thank goodness." Aria smiled in relief.
"Hey look. It's Trixie." Sonata smiled and pointed. She rolled down the window. "Hi Trixie!"
Trixie was buying ice cream, but she raised her nose in the air and spoke. "Trixie does not wish to acknowledge the lousy singers know as the-!"
Trixie was scared and jumped over the ice cream cart and landed on the hard sidewalk, but also had cold ice cream flow out of the broken ice cream cart.
"What the heck did you do?!" Adagio rubbed her face as she hit the window.
"The wind was in my eyes." Sonata rubbed her eyes.
"Use one hand. One of those things needs to be on the wheel."
"With property damage like that, who needs magic?" Aria laughed.
Aria's laughter stopped when she saw Sonata make a turn away from home. A detour sign made the trip last even longer.
"Why are we going to the park?"
"Fastest way home." Adagio told Aria.
The park did have a road for traffic, but with that in disrepair, Sonata had to improvise. She turned to the walkway, where the Cutie Mark Crusaders were playing.
Applebloom tossed a ball to Scootaloo. They were playing a game involving animal noises.
"Bear." Applebloom said.
Scootaloo got up and roared like a bear for ten seconds. She passed the ball back to Applebloom.
"Owl." Scootaloo smiled.
Applebloom turned her head and made owl noises. She passed the ball to Sweetie Belle.
"Monkey." She said.
Sweetie Belle took a big breath, but a runaway car caused her to jump onto a tree like a cat.
"MEOW!" Sweetie clenched to the tree.
"Sweetie, are you okay?" Scootaloo and Applebloom asked.
"Oh I mean, ook ook." Sweetie Belle said. "I'm alright."
"Good." The trio made sure to get closer to the center of the park and play there.
"Alright, Sonata. You just have to park in that square block over there." Adagio said.
"I know what a parking spot is." Sonata pushed the pedal and drove to the spot.
"After being in the car with you, I'm not even sure if you know what it takes to kill you." Aria looking sick.
"Whatever. Sonata, you pass." Adagio wrote up a slip and gave it to her.
"You're really gonna give her a passing grade?" Aria asked.
"Yeah. She knows what to do. She just needs to focus more and get experience." Adagio got out the car. She was greeted by Trixie.
"You sirens will pay for this!" She was angry.
"Pay for what?" Adagio asked.
"My cleaning bill! I'll make you pay for every last ce-!" Trixie yelled and pointed her finger.
*snap*
Adagio had just handcuffed Trixie's hands together and threw her in the car. She then added a few more cuffs and chained her to Aria. She placed the keys in Sonata's chest pocket. Aria and Trixie looked terrified.
"There we go. Sonata I want you to do me a favor." Adagio leaned in the car.
"It's not driving is it?" Sonata asked.
"It is. Go to taco bell and spend these $30 on food." She gave Sonata some money.
"Can do." Sonata cranked up the engine.
"Oh and before you go," Adagio stopped her. "Go to the one across town and if they're on break, go to every last fast food joint in town."
"All right, Dagi" Sonata smiled. She backed the car up.
"I'll get you for this, Adagio! You better sleep with one eye open!" Aria yelled.
"Trixie will have her revenge! This ice cream is freezing in her skirt!" Trixie yelled.
As Sonata drove away on a trip that would equal disaster, Adagio turned towards the door and went to take a nap.
She crawled into bed and went to sleep smiling. Then she thought to herself...
"Did I teach her to get her to run to the store or did I do it so Sonata would leave me alone? Whatever." Adagio put on her sleeping mask and went to sleep.
