The Man & The Siren

by Oldtakufanboy


Chit Chat

"How many times is this guy gonna say 'inconceivable'?" asks Sonata.

"I don't mind it," said Adagio, "I find it funny when he says it."

"I as well," agreed Aria.

"Here you go, girls," I said, as I handed them their dinner of pasta.

"Thanks, Jackie," said Sonata, as she and the girls grabbed ahold of the plates from within my arms.

"Thank you, Jack," said Adagio, as she began to twirl her pasta.

"Thanks, I guess," said Aria, as she began to twirl her pasta, as well.

I sat down with the girls and ate along with them, while watching more of Princess Bride.

"This is delicious," said Adagio, "you're quite a cook."

"Thanks, Adagio."

"He's awesome, isn't he?" said Sonata, as she brought another forkful of pasta.

"He really is," said Aria, "he's… a nice guy."

"Thanks Aria," I said giving her a smile.

Aria looked away from me with a blush.

"Whatever," said Aria, as she took another bite of her pasta.

I smiled at Sonata and we then looked back to the film.




9:21 PM

Sonata gave out a stretch, as the film came to an end.

"I'm getting sleepy," said Sonata.

"Here," I said, as I stood up and grabbed ahold of her plate, "I'll put these away."

"Can you get ours?" ask Aria, as she and Adagio held their plates to me.

"Sure," I said with a smile, as I stacked their plates over Sonata's and mines.

"Thank you, Jack," said the girls, as I headed into the kitchen.

"Your welcome."

I placed the dishes into the dishwasher and pressed the start button. As I came back into the living room, the girls stood up and gave out a stretch.

"Jackie, we're going to bed," said Sonata, as she stretched out her arms.

"We're gettin' tired," said Adagio.

"That movie was actually better than I thought though," said Aria, as she scratched her head.

"Glad you girls liked it. I hope you have a good nights rest," I said with a smile, as I gave them a group hug.

"Good night, Jack," said the girls, as they broke the hug and walked to their rooms.

"Good night."

After the girls closed their doors, I stretched and headed towards the table and sat down.

"I now gotta do my bills," I said to myself, as I began opening letters and doing math.




9:50 PM

I sat on the table with the light above me still on and continued doing my bills.

"Damn, I used too much money for these girls," I said to myself, as I finished my calculations, "I'll have to stop buying them stuff and start saving."

Suddenly, I heard a door open from the hallway, along with the sounds of footsteps.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's me, Adagio," said Adagio, as she got closer to the light.

"What's wrong? do you want some water?" I asked.

"No, that's not it… do you mind if I talk to you?"

"Sure," I said, as I turned off my calculator and pulled away the bills.

Adagio sat down beside me and was fidgeting her fingers.

"May I ask about something?" asks Adagio.

"Tell me. I'm open ears."

"Did you and Sonata… love one another?"

"Huh? What was that?"

Adagio's face went bright red.

"Do you and Sonata love each other?"

"Oh… well… is that bad?"

"No… I'm just curious."

I was too nervous to answer her question, but…

"Yes… yes I do. I've been in love with her since you girls came to the school," I replied.

"Really? You love Sonata?" said Adagio with surprise.

"I do."

Adagio had a funny grin upon her face.

"That's sweet. Aria and I were absolutely right," said Adagio with a giggle.

"Have you two been observing us during the mall?"

"We have and you two make a cute couple. Since when did you fell for her?"

"I fell in love with her since the day you three came to Canterlot High."

Adagio quietly squealed and fangirled.

"D'awww, tis love I say," said Adagio.

"You could say that," I said with a blush.

"Since I'm noticing because of your bills, that we can't get anymore clothes?"

"You girls made me spend a lot of money. Why do you ask?"

"I've been thinking that you and Sonata should go on a date."

"A date? Just me and her?"

Adagio nods

"You two need to go on a date. You have my permission."

"Thanks Adagio, but what should I do on this date?"

Adagio gave me a funny look and came up to my ear.

"Listen to what I have to tell you and she'll. be. yours."

My face went red.

"T-t-tell me what to do when this date happens," I ask, as Adagio leaned back to her chair.

"You have a lot to win to a girls heart," said Adagio with a smile, "Listen carefully."
