Four days have passed and today is the day of the dance. After leaving school, I walked over to where I worked and asked my boss if I can have this one day off. She says it's ok, which was good to hear; my boss was a very nice lady. After that, I walked home with a smile upon my face.
"Sonie, I'm home," I said as I entered the apartment.
"Welcome back, Jackie," said Sonata as she waved at me.
"What have you been doing while I was gone?"
"I've been watching some of your movies. Most of them I never heard of before like The Dark Crystal, John Carpenter's The Thing and this really sexualish old animated film called Heavy Metal," said Sonata as she held up the DVD cases.
"Heavy Metal is an awesome movie. I remember when I was young, my parents told me about it and said that I can watch it when I'm older."
"Oh," said Sonata as she placed the DVD cases near the TV," Also, have you made an appointment for me?"
"No prob, I called them yesterday after we had dinner."
"When is it?"
"They like to see you at 4:24."
"Well what are we waiting for? It's 4:01! Let's go!" said Sonata as she got up from the couch and put on her shoes.
"All right then," I said as she and I left the apartment together.
"Here we are," I said as I pointed to the logo of the store.
"Aloe and Lotus' beauty spa…huh…" said Sonata as she observed the logo.
"Let's go in," I said as I opened the door for her.
We both entered and looked around the waiting room. The walls on the left, right, and in front had the color of light blue with a large lotus flower on each of them. There were five chairs on both the left and right of us, along with a desk in the middle that had a rose. At the counter was a woman with a bored expression upon her face as she red through some sort of magazine.
"Excuse me, appointment for Sonata Dusk," I said as Sonata and I walked up to the lady.
"Sonata Dusk," said the lady as she flipped through her notes that were beside her," Ah, yes. They'll be with you in five minutes."
"Okie dokie then," I said as Sonata and I sat down on one of the chairs and waited.
"So you've been here before?" asked Sonata.
"I told you before, I knew these ladies since I was little. The two ladies here also knew my real parents before the accident. You could say that these ladies were friends of my parents."
"Whoa," said Sonata with astonishment.
"I must warn you that they might treat me like a little kid. They've been acting like that since the day I first came here," I said as I scratched the back of my head.
"Why? Are they that kind to you?" asked Sonata when suddenly the door to the spa room opened and three women left with smiles upon their faces.
"Ok, Sonata Dusk?" said Lotus as she came out of the spa room.
Lotus then turned to our direction and she gave me a shocked face.
"Jackie! Is that you?!" said Lotus as she rushed over to me and gave me a hug.
"Long time no see, Miss Blossom," I said as I hugged her back.
"What are you doing here?! It's been so long and look how you've grown."
"I'm here with Sonata for an appointment," I said as she looked over to Sonata.
"Nice to meet you, Sonata. My name is Lotus and you are such a cutie," said Lotus as she shakes hands with Sonata.
"Nice to see you too," said Sonata, giving Miss Blossom a smile.
"Hey, sister! Remember that little boy, Jackie?! He's here with a girl!" shouted Miss Blossom to her sister.
"REALLY?! OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!" shouted Aloe from the spa room.
We then heard running footsteps and out from the spa room was Aloe with a big smile on her face as she looked over at me.
"Jackie!" said Aloe as she ran up to me and gave me a tight hug.
"So good to see you Aloe," I said as I hugged her back.
"And I can see that you finally have got yourself a girl," said Aloe as she broke the hug and turned her head towards Sonata.
"Nice to meet you, Aloe," said Sonata as she waved her hand at her.
"Awwww, Jackie! She's such a cutie," said Aloe as she took a few steps towards Sonata," nice to see you, Sonata. I knew your friend Jack since he was a little tike."
"He told me about you two," said Sonata as she giggled.
"Jackie, she's so cute!" said both the sisters as they gave me big grins.
"Hehehe… thanks," I said as I chuckled awkwardly.
"So… you ready, Sonata?" asked Aloe.
"I sure am," said Sonata as she got up from her seat and followed Aloe and Miss Blossom.
"Wait! Sonie!" I said, stopping the three ladies in their tracks," I just want to tell you that I'll go out while you're here. Want anything to snack on before the dance?"
Both Aloe and Miss Blossom gasp as they rushed towards me with a spark in their eyes.
"Awwww, you're taking her to a dance?" said both the sisters.
"Uh… yeah. Why do you think I brought her here?"
"Don't you worry, Jackie. We'll make her look fabulous that the boys at your school will be jealous of you," said the girls as they stood up straight and saluted.
"Thanks, sisters," I said as I gave them a smile and walked out of the place.
"I wonder if Sonie will like this chewy sweet tarts?" I said as I walked down the sidewalk towards the convenience store, which was half a mile away.
I walked back to the spa 30 minutes later with a bag of things for mostly Sonie and a bag of chewy sweet tarts.
"I wonder if Sonie is ready? I also walked over to another store and got her a pair of high heels," I thought to myself as I walked into the waiting room of the spa and sat down on the same chair that I sat on earlier.
A minute later, Aloe opened the door and saw me with the bag of things.
"She's ready, Jackie," said Aloe as she moved to the side.
From the spa room came out Sonata with a grin on her face. She looked prettier than before. Her eyes shined like stars, her hair looks healthier than ever, and her hands looked as if she was born from a rich man.
"How do I look, Jack?" said Sonata as she gave me a twirl.
"Y-you look… like a Goddess," I said with my mouth gaping wide open.
Sonata and the sisters began to giggle as they walked over to me.
"Well, that your answer, Sonata," said Aloe.
"Thank you very much, Aloe and Miss Blossom." I said as I stood up with the bag of things in hand.
"Your welcome," said both Aloe and Miss Blossom.
"How much?" I said as I gave the bag over to Sonata and reached into my pocket for my wallet.
"We'll give you this one for free, Jackie," said Miss Blossom.
I took my hand out of my pocket and gave them a smile.
"Aww, you ladies are always so sweet to me."
"Anything for the happy couple," said Aloe.
Sonata and I blushed as we looked over to each other.
"WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!" shouted Sonata and I.
"Sorry," said both Aloe and Miss Blossom as they giggled.
"All right, we gotta go. The dance will begin at six." I said as I grabbed ahold of Sonata's hand.
"Good luck," said both Aloe and Miss Blossom, as they waved us good bye.
We made it back to the apartment and sat down on the couch for a bit to kill some time. As an hour and a half passed, I stood up from the couch and walked over to my room to give Sonata that dress that Rarity made.
"Here Sonie, I want you to go into my room and change into this," I said as I handed over the box to her.
"Okie dokie," said Sonata as she skipped over to my room and shut the door.
I sat on the couch for about fifteen minutes till I heard my bedroom door creak opening. As Sonata came into the living room, she wore a really beautiful and pretty blue dress without any shoes or socks on. Her face began to blush as she looked over to me.
"How… do you like it?" asked Sonata.
"You look… adorable," I said as my face began to feel warm," However, there's one more thing missing."
I walked over to the counter and took out the high heels for Sonata to wear.
"Sit down, here. I'm gonna put these high heels on you," I said s Sonata walked over to the chair and sat down.
I placed them on her feet and allowed her to walk around the apartment for a bit to get use to wearing high heels.
"You're ready, but first, I need to get ready myself," I said as I walked over to my room and shut the door.
40 minutes later...
We stood right in front of the school as Sonata took in a gulp.
"Don't worry, Sonie. I'm right by your side," I said as I patted her back," While you're around the school, your name will be 'Teresa'."
"That's a pretty name, but what about my appearance?"
"Hmmmm… here," I said as I took off Sonata's scrunchie," Does this look good?" I asked, as I took out my iPhone and took a pic of her to see what she looked like.
"Wow… I look like a different person," she said as she straightened out a little more of her hair.
"You do," I said in agreement," Come on, let's go in."
I grabbed ahold of her hand and the both of us headed in the school.
As we made it to the dance, everybody was either dancing to the music, drinking punch, talking to friends, the usual things you would normally see around a dance in a school.
"Jack!" said Blake as he rushed over to me.
"Hey, Blake! How's the dance for you?" I asked.
"It's going great, buddy. Everyone's having a good time," said Blake.
Blake then turned towards Sonata and gave out a little gasp of surprise.
"Are you… S-" Blake was cutoff by Sonata's hushing.
"Oh… sorry," said Blake, as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Blake, we need to keep quiet about her name; While we're around the school, call her 'Teresa'." I whispered to him.
"Oh, gottcha,"said Blake as he gave me a wink and walked over to Sonata," Nice to meet you, Teresa."
"Nice to meet you too, Blake," said Sonata, as she and Blake shook hands.
"So… are you two gonna dance at some point?" asked Blake.
"We will. We're just waiting for the music choice to get soothing," I said as I walked over to Blake and whispered into his ear," Also, I have a surprise for Sonata if the DJ doesn't mind."
"Why don't you ask her, man? She's over there," said Blake as he pointed over to the DJ.
"Thanks man," I said with a thumbs up and walked over to Sonata," Teresa, could you hang out with Blake for a bit as I go talk to that DJ over there?"
"Sure. See you in a bit," she said with a smile as she began to walk over to Blake.
I walked through the dance floor and was finally close to the DJ.
"Hey there," I said to the DJ, as she gave me the thumbs up," I was wondering, do you do karaoke request?"
She nodded.
"Oh, good, 'cause I want to sing to this girl that I like," I said to her as she gave me the gesture for me to whisper to her.
I told her the song and she gave me both a large mile and a nod. I walked up to the stage as the music died down and everyone had his or her eyes on me.
"Hello, Canterlot high! How's the dance treating you?!" I shouted to the crowd as everyone screamed with glee," Good. Well, sorry if the music died down for your fun, but there's a girl out in the crowd that I want to sing to. She means a lot to me and I want her to hear this!"
The girls of the crowd clasped their hands and awed.
"Teresa, this song is for you! Hit it!" I said to the DJ as she began to play the song:
As the song ended everyone clapped and as I looked over to Sonata, she looked as if she was about to let all of her feels out.
"I like to thank the DJ for allowing me to do this, special applause for her," I said as I pointed to the DJ.
Everyone applaud as I left the stage and had a bunch of people telling me that I did a good job singing or that I have a good voice. As I was a two feet away from Sonata, I heard a voice call out to me. I turned around and it was none other than Rarity waving her hand at me to get her attention.
"Jack, darling! That was spectacular!" said Rarity as she patted my shoulder," Darling, who is this Teresa girl? I would like to meet her."
I pointed over to Sonata who had a nervous look upon her face.
"Oh! So this is Teresa?" said Rarity as she walked over to Sonata.
As Rarity inspected Sonata, she gave her a suspicious look.
"Darling, she looks… familiar." said Rarity, as she tapped her left foot while eyeing at Sonata.
Sonata shook her head.
"Well, whatever, she's such a cutie, darling," said Rairty as she shook her hand," Nice to meet you, I'm Rarity and your friend Jack, got you that dress from me."
Sonata gave her an awkward smile and elided to go along with it. After shaking hands, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna came up to the stage and grabbed ahold of their microphones.
"Hello Canterlot High, tonight's performance by Jack was amazing! Around of applause for him again," said Principal Celestia as everyone turned towards me and clapped.
"Now we advise everyone to find a partner and prepare to dance. We are going to have a vote tonight for who is best the dance couple," said Luna as everyone murmured to one another in agreement.
"Teresa, wanna be my dance partner?" I asked, as I held out my hand for her.
"I sure will, Jackie," said Sonata as she grabbed ahold of my hand and together, we both walked over to the dance floor.
"Has everyone found a dance partner?" asked Celestia.
Everyone replied with a yes or they held up their hands.
"Good, let the contest begin," said Luna, as she pointed to the DJ.
The DJ gave her a thumbs up and began playing a slow song:
Everyone grabbed their partner hand-in-hand and began to slowly dance. I looked over to Sonata who had a nervous look upon her face.
"What's wrong?" I asked her, as she let go of my hand and began to blush.
"Um… it's just that… well… I don't know how to dance," said Sonata as she looked away from me.
"Don't worry, Teresa. I'll help you," I said as I held out my hand for her.
She reached out to me as I grabbed ahold of her left hand and brought her close to me. I grabbed ahold of her back.
"Don't worry, I got you," I said as Sonata's face looked ever so redder.
"O-ok," she said as I gave her a twirl.
"See, your doing fine," I said, giving her a smile.
We continued to dance as the song continued. As we danced, I notice at the cover of my eye that everyone on the room was looking at us as they continued with their dance.
"Seems like we're gonna win," I thought to myself as I continued dancing with Sonata.
23 Minutes Later...
"All right, the votes are in," said Celestia as everybody whooped.
"And this years dance queen and queen are… Jack and Teresa! Around of applause please!" said Luna, as Sonata and I stood on the dance floor looking like the OMG cat.
Everyone clapped for us as we made our way to the stage to get our crowns.
"Wow! I never expected us to be dance king and queen; Thank you all for voting on us," I said, as I grabbed ahold of the microphone," I also like to thank Rarity for giving this dress for Teresa."
Everyone looked over towards Rarity and clapped for her.
"You all made my night absolutely perfect. My girlfriends and I will like to thank you all yet again," I said, Sonata and I made our way down the stage and into the crowd.
Sonata and I made our way out of the school and headed towards my vehicle when suddenly my friend Blake, along with Fluttershy, stopped us.
"Hey Jack! Hey Teresa," shouted Blake, trying to get our attention," tonight was the best dance I ever had in my life. Also, I met this girl. Her name is Fluttershy and she and I have the same taste in anime."
"Hi," said Fluttershy as she waved at us.
"Hi Fluttershy. I've seen you around school. We have the same math class," I said as I shook her hand.
"Oh yeah, I do remember you. Nice to meet you in person. I also have to say that you two make a very sweet couple," said Fluttershy as sparkles appeared around her.
"…Ok," said Sonata and I.
"Well, we'll leave you two alone. Fluttershy and I are gonna hang out a little longer. See you around," said Blake, as he and FLuttershy waved us goodbye.
"See ya," I said, as I waved back at them.
"You too, Teresa," said Blake, giving Sonata a thumbs up.
Sonata waved back at him and the both of us got in the car.
"Wow… tonight was a blast, Jack. Also, when did you learn to dance like that?" asked Sonata, as she placed her seatbelt on.
"Well… let's just say that I watch some romance movies. Hehehe," I laughed awkwardly, as I placed the key into the ignition.
"Like what?" asked Sonata, as she placed her hands on her lap.
"Dirty Dancing? Never heard of it," said Sonata, as she gave me a cocked eyebrow.
"You haven't, eh? Well, when we get home, I'm gonna make you some pasta and the both of us are gonna watch it. I bet you'll love it. Also, would you mind going through my phone and play I've had the time of my life?"
Sonata cracked a smile, as I handed her my phone. She grabbed it and scrolled through my music till she found it.
"Is this it?" asked Sonata, as the song began.
I cracked a smile, as I drove out of the parking lot.
"That's it, Sonie."
