Love Until Dusk

More Practice

With that day passed on like the wind, we woke up the next morning, having to find ourselves with almost nothing to do. I find Sonata next to me in bed, tugging my arm with a light, pink blush spreading on her cheeks. "Morning." she said. "You look happy."

"I am." I said, gently smiling and rubbing the finger on her soft cheek. "Same could go for you."

"I'm always happy with you, Shiny." she said. "And... I was very happy yesterday." She tried so hard not to spread a blush on her cheeks, but the blood flowed quick and made her cheeks red as an ornament.

I lightly chuckled. "Same here." I closed in to give her a peck, but my phone suddenly vibrated. I looked down the bed to see my phone laid down, right at the edge of the bed. Carefully, I move to get my phone so it won't fall off and possibly shatter, and right when it fell, I clutched it. "Phew." I said in relief. I look at the screen to see a text from Sunset.

'Hey is Sonata there? She isn't picking up her phone.'

Sonata looked over my shoulder. "Sunset?" she said, rubbing her eyes. She then questioned the phone part. "I'm not picking up my phone? It didn't even ring, I turn that thing on loud."

"Is the text on loud?"

"... Oops."

She quickly looked around to find her phone and found nothing. She heard a buzz, and looked over to her shorts on the ground. "Ah!" she said in delight, and got out from the covers to receive her phone. "Got it, Shiny! Been in my shorts."

"Your-" I look at her to question, but I was silenced. My mind clicked on something else as I stared.

"What?" she asked, all puzzled. She looked slowly down and blushed herself. "Oh. Forgot about that."

She wore a neon-pink thong that held tight against her, and was particularly very thin. As for the top... I don't need to describe. "U-U-Uh..." I said, stuttering and out of words to say.

"D-Don't say anything." she said, quickly turning around and grabbing her shorts. She looked back and bit her lip, slowly swaying her butt in a flirtatious manner. I felt so warm on my face. She put on her shorts and looked at me. "You know where the bra's at... right?"

"I dunno." I said, shrugging. "We brought it in here, somewhere." I instantly felt a piece of fabric on my leg. I pull up the covers seeing my underwear on me and a b... bra. I bring up the bra to her. "F-Forgot."

"Heh, it's okay." she assured. "Besides, at least we had fun, right?" She giggled, biting her finger.

I nodded. "Totally." Sonata quickly looked at her phone texts, seeing at least five messages from Sunset. She responded, and the both of us waited. Suddenly, her phone screen flashed, and she read it closely. "Oh." she said.

"What?" I asked.

"Apparently, she wants me to come over and practice a little more with the band." she said, a smile slowly growing on her face. "More specifically on the new one!"

"Really?" I moved closer to see her phone screen, which displayed a text from Sunset asking Sonata to come over to practice. "Well, hot damn, let's go."

"Kay." she said, typing in a reply. Once sent, she smiled at me. "This is awesome!" She quickly pecked my cheek and jumped in place giddily. "Hey... you think I'll do good?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Like, when it actually comes. Being live, whenever that is. Singing the duet, seeing whether or not I'll actually do good and not croak." She rubbed her arm, looking a tad away from my face. I trace a finger under her chin to make her look at me.

"Hey, I think you'll do great." I assured. "I'll be your biggest fan, right by your side. Trust me, Sonata, you'll do just awesome."

She gently smiled and hugged me. "Thanks, Shiny." she said, digging her face in my chest. I ran a hand through her hair, then kissing her forehead.

"I'll always be by you."


We arrived at the stage, where everyone was waiting. Sunset gave a wave. "Sweet, you're here!"

"Yay!" Pinkie cheered in excitement.

"Woo!" Sonata said back. "So, are we getting right to it."

"If you want." Dash said, tuning her guitar. "On your go."

"Oh." Sonata said, a little surprised. She slowly stepped up to the mic, grabbing it with both hands. "Okay..." She closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath. "Go."

Rarity played her piano guitar to start up the song, and Sunset stood next to Sonata. She placed a hand on her shoulder, giving her a soft, sure smile. And once they hit their queue, both sung at the same time, creating a wonderful melody. The band played, and I just watched. I bobbed my head to the beat, and smiled at Sonata.

Once the song reached the finish, Sonata smiled widely. "I may not know what the future holds," she sung, taking steps forward. "But hear me when I say, that my past does not define me," She continued walking, her eyes closed. "Cause my past is not to-AHHHH!" She accidentally fell off the stage, screaming for her life. I quickly dove in to catch her, and she roughly landed on my back.

"Ow." I let out. She blushed in embarrassment and got up. The girls came over and let out a gasp.

"Don't worry, I'm okay!" Sonata assured, giving a thumbs-up.

"Shine?" Sunset asked. "You alright?"

I pointed a thumb up. "Doing great." I said. Once I got up to sweep off any dirt, I felt a little release on my nose. Strange... My lips pick up a taste of a bit of liquid, and I felt the part between my lip and nose, only to see blood on my one finger. "Sweet." I said.

Rarity noticed. "Oh, dearie! You're bleeding."

"Eh, I'm fine." I said, trying to brush it off. "Just a nose bleed."

"Still, you should take care of it, darling." she insisted. She headed towards backstage. "Come, darling."

"Fine." I said. Sonata followed, feeling a little guilty that she would just go off stage like that. I looked at her guilty expression, and so I held her hand. "Hey," I spoke to her. "You ain't got nothing to be sad about."

"Well, I just hurt you-"

"That was an accident, Sonata. At least you learned now, right?" I gave her a soft smile.

"I guess." she said, blushing a little pink. I squeezed her hand gently.

Rarity came up with a box of tissues. "Here you go, darling." she said, handing me the box. "Just try not to get any blood any where, alright? Hehe..." She chuckled nervously, just thinking about the possibility of having a red stain on her clothing.

I assured her it wouldn't happen. "Hey, no worries, Rarity." I said, bending my head a little back while sticking a tissue up the bleeding nostril. "I'm careful on these sort of..."

"Shine, darling?"

"Shiny?"

I kept silent. While the noise filled with Rainbow tuning her guitar and Pinkie playing her drums out of boredom, I heard something odd. I heard a rustle from a bush, and off in the couple of feet away, I noticed a rustling bush. I narrowed my eyes to see a figure. Looked feminine, with... large, poofy hair. Closer, I see... "What the hell?"

Quickly, the figure dashed off, and I just watched it run away. Sonata looked at my direction, yet came with confusion. "Uh, Shiny?" she questioned. "What did you see?" My eyes were widened, and a terrifying flash vibrated through my mind, sending chills through my skin. "S-Shiny?"

"Adagio." I answered in one chilling, fearful word. "I saw Adagio."
