I stood there, the feeling of my pendant no longer around my neck. I remember the day those bitches shattered it. Adagio claimed that she was just doing me a favour, but deep down inside, I knew that she was destroying everything that made me.

Now, she and Aria are constantly arguing, we're starving, and it seems like nothing can come close to actually filling us. Even down to the food that the humans have. It has been several months since we've actually ate.

The only thing that comes close to food for us is love, but ever since what happened at the Battle of the Bands, nobody wants to come near us. So now, we're slowly dying, wasting away.

"You know what?! You are absolutely worthless and I want nothing to do with you!" Adagio screamed out at Aria. "Excuse me?! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be in this mess! You didn't even ask me, nor Sonata, how we felt about this or even agreed to it!" Aria screamed back. The only thing I could do was just quietly sit in the corner, away from the constant yelling. "Sonata, what do you think?" Aria asked me, her and Adagio's gaze falling on me.

I froze up as my head lowered. Nothing more than a squeak came out of my mouth. "As I thought, worthless! Both of you!" Adagio snapped.

I felt actual pain hearing her call me and Aria "worthless". I never did anything to her. I was just simply following her orders. "N-no, I'm not worthless," I said, finally speaking, "You're the one whose worthless, Adagio! Aria is right, if it hadn't been for you wanting to come here, we wouldn't be in this mess! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be starving! And honestly… I think Aria and I would be better off without you!" I snapped, storming up to her.

"Get the hell out of my face, Sonata…" Adagio hissed at me.

"Or what? What is the almighty Adagio going to do? In case you haven't noticed, you're no stronger than me and Aria, so why are we even still listening to you? You're the pathetic one!" I screamed out, though, was quickly silenced by the feeling of Adagio's hand striking my face.

Have you ever had a slow motion moment in your life, where everything just seems to slow down and afterwards, the only thing you feel is nothing but regret? With my hand clenched tightly into a fist, I lunged at Adagio and punched her, causing her to fall to the ground. I stood over her, my body trembling with anger, although, shortly after, I finally came back to my senses.

I looked down at Adagio, who was knocked clean out on the ground and then over at Aria, who was now standing there in shock at what just happened.

"Run," was the one and only thing my body was telling me, and I did just that. I took off out of our small apartment and kept running for hours and hours, not once bothering to stop. And by the time I finally did stop, it was nighttime and my body had become sore from running so long. I finally collapsed, tears flowing freely from my eyes.

"Hey, are you alright?" called out a soft, warm voice from behind me. I turned around to see a pink skinned, green and yellow haired girl standing behind me. She was wearing a Crystal Prep Academy uniform with a pair of headphones resting on her shoulders. "I'm fine!" I snapped at her, trying to mask my emotions.

She stood there for a moment, looking me over. "Well, do you mind if I sit with you?" she asked me. I wanted nothing more than just to break down and let out all of my emotions, but I didn't want to do it in front of someone I didn't know. She'll probably just call the police on me and have me hauled away.

I didn't say anything, hoping that she'd take the hint and leave me alone. Though, I heard her take a step beside of me and sit down. She reached out towards me, as I reacted by cowering away like a dog who has been beaten.

"P-please, l-leave me alone." I begged.

"You look like you've been hurt. Please, I wanna help you."

"GET AWAY!" I yelled out, shuffling away from her. She looked at me, surprised, but not really all that phased by my outburst. It was as if she's dealt with this type of behaviour everyday. I looked into her eyes—those beautiful, golden eyes. I froze up, feeling my cheeks heat up slightly. "You look like you're running a fever." she said, gently placing her hand on my forehead, "Well, you feel warm, but it feels more like a mild fever, so no worries. And looks like you've been crying as well." she said, placing her hands on my cheeks to make our faces meet.

Finally, I regained myself, shaking my head, "I-I'm fine, really. I… I just have a lot on my mind." I said, curling up in a ball, my knees pulled up to my chest. I heard the sound of clothing moving around before feeling warmth wrap around my body, "Here, take my jacket, it's pretty cold out and we don't want you to end up getting sick." she said in a warm tone.

I glanced up at her as she began to stand up, "W-Wait!" I called out, still not wanting to be alone.

She paused and smiled softly, "Yeah?" She asked, our eyes meeting once more. "I-I don't actually have a place to stay." I said, completely embarrassed at that fact, "May I stay with you for the night?" I asked softly. Shesmiled and nodded softly, "Yeah, of course! I live about a mile away from here, but of course." she said happily.

I gave a sigh of relief and began to stand up, my legs wobbly from running. She quickly wrapped her arm around me to help me stand, "Is everything alright?" she asked me again.

I nodded softly, doing my best to put a smile on my face. She smiled at me and began to lead me towards her house, "By the way, name's Lemon Zest." she said as we walked.

"M-My name is Sonata Dusk." I said, my voice still shaky from crying.

About thirty minutes later, we arrived at her small apartment which had clothes stranded throughout the place, a small couch and a TV in her living room, along with a tiny kitchen. "I'm sorry to say, I don't have a big couch for you to crash on, but you want, you're more than welcome to have my bed." she said with a smile.

I looked at her and shook my head, "No, I couldn't do that to you, despite how nice you've been." I stated, trying my best to not lock eyes with her.

"I'm not taking no for an answer, now go and sit down, I'm gonna start cooking. Taco's sound good…?" she asked me. The second she said "taco", my eyes lit up almost instantly, and I couldn't hide it, no matter how hard I tried.

She laughed at my reaction, causing me to blush, "Tacos it is!" she cheered, walking into the kitchen. A full smile came across my face as I finally sat down. I was beginning to feel something that I haven't felt in a while.

I felt like I was getting a meal from my pendant, but at the same time, what I was feeling… felt different. It felt pure. I wasn't too sure in what it was, though. I finally sat down and turned the tv onto a loud hard-rock based channel, the TV on max.

I jumped out of my sit, and I could've sworn I ended up hissing at the TV. Lemon poked her head out of the kitchen and glanced back over at me and laughed. "Sorry about that, didn't mean to have it up too loud. Usually, when I'm relaxing, I have my TV turned up, full blast." she explained, rushing over and turning the TV down.

Lemon glanced over at me, pausing, "A-are your eyes red?" she asked me, a hint of fear in her voice. I paused and looked away and wiped my eyes. "Probably from where I've been crying so much." I answered, doing my best to make up an excuse.

She walked up to me, placing her hands on my cheeks to make me face her once more as my eyes went back to normal, other than their red puffiness. She nodded and used her thumb to wipe a tear away from the corner of my eye that I didn't even know was there.

I felt my cheeks light up once more, our eyes meeting again. What is it with her eyes. Each and every time I look at them, they just put me in a state of bliss. I feel like I don't have a worry in the world. "What was it that made you cry earlier?" she asked me, snapping me out of my blissful state.

I lowered my head to avoid her gaze, "I… I don't wanna say…" I whimpered, sitting back down on the couch, bringing my knees to my chest. "Lemme guess – boy troubles?" she asked me. I glanced back up at her and nodded softly, thinking that it was the best excuse that she'd probably buy.

"I understand. Trust me, I've been there. That's why I'm a lesbian. To me, women are less likely to hurt you, plus, I've only ever been fully satisfied by a woman." she said, laughing softly.

I rose a brow and laughed softly, "Maybe that's something I ought to start looking into, then." I said without even thinking. She looked at me with a sly grin, "Oh, really now?"

I froze up, blushing deeply, "P-Please ignore what I just said." I said, hiding my face in my hands. She laughed and went back over to the kitchen. The smell of tacos quickly filling the air.

A few minutes passed as I laid down on the couch, resting my head on the armrest and began to doze in and out, the sound of the TV being the only thing I can hear.

When I woke up, I felt something warm and soft under my head, and a hand brushing along my hair. I rolled over and looked up to see Lemon idly watching tv. "Mmm, what time is it?" I asked, slowly sitting up.

"Not much time has passed. About thirty minutes. Food's done by the way." Lemon said with a warm smile. She removed her hand from the top of my head, with it being entangled with my hair. A deep yawn came from me as I sat up and stretched. I turned around to see that she was already up and brought our plates over to the couch and sat down beside of me. I looked down, my mouth drooling slightly as I began to eat.

We finally got done eating, my stomach completely filled. "Jeez, you act like you haven't eaten in a while." Lemon pointed out, turning towards me while resting her arm behind me on the top of the couch. "Well, I actually haven't in a while. Haven't had the money to do so." I said, looking down, completely embarrassed at the fact.

"Well, that's not good. No wonder you're so skinny… no offence." Lemon stated bashfully. "It's alright. It's very rare that I get to eat, so I've just grown used to it." I said, my voice growing softer by the second.

A few seconds passed with the both of just sitting there silently, the TV being the only source of sound. "Well," Lemon started, finally breaking the silence, "You're in my care now, and I promise not to let you go hungry!" Lemon claimed with a warm smile, wrapping her arms around me and pulled me close to her.

I looked at her and nodded softly, a wave of relief and tranquillity filling my body, "Thank you." I said, blushing once more as I rested my head on her chest. Lemon glanced down at me, placing her hand on my back and began to rub, lulling me back to sleep.

Though, before I even had the chance to pass out, we heard a knock on the door. Lemon stood up and began to head towards the door with me accidentally giving a slight audible whine as Lemon looked down at me and laughed softly.

"It's okay, I'm just going to check and see who's here." Lemon assured, walking back towards the door.

When she opened it up, there stood, to my horror, Aria and Adagio; Adagio sporting a good looking black-eye. I felt every ounce of bliss just pour right out of my body as I darted back towards the end of the apartment, now, hiding in Lemon's bedroom.

"Hey! Get the hell out of my house!" I heard Lemon yell out.

"Where's our friend, Sonata? I have some unfinished business with her." Adagio hissed, putting a lot of emphasis on 'friend'.

"I'm only saying this once more, get out of my house!" Lemon demanded.

"Or what? What's some little stoner girl going to do?" Adagio asked. I looked out the door and saw Adagio stepping towards Lemon, backing her into a the wall.

"G-Get out of here." Lemon demanded again, her voice growing soft.

"Not without our friend, Sonata." Adagio said, grinning deviously.

I stormed out, a deep growl coming from me, "I'm right here." I growled. Adagio looked at me, her left eye swollen up, slightly shocked at my appearance, before her usual smirk came across her face.

"There you are. Over what happened earlier; do you think I could talk to you outside?" she asked.

"Now, come along, we got some unfinished business to settle." Adagio sneered. I looked at her and laughed slightly.

"Yes, we do." I agreed, calmly walking towards her and began to head out the door and out into the parking lot.

Aria stood behind Adagio with a look of sorrow on her face. Adagio, though, stood there, a sinister grin staining her face. "What do you want with me?" I coldly inquired.

"Well, my dear Sonata, you hurt me earlier and gave me a black eye. So, as they say, 'an eye for an eye,' right?" Adagio proclaimed, right before she darted at me.

I stood there and didn't fight back; though, prevented her from hurting me, until finally, Adagio brought her elbow up, connecting with my right eye. I flinched and looked down at her with a cold, dead stare as she backed up.

"Hmp. Serves you right, bitch…" Adagio said, turning to leave.

"You know what?" I began, "You two were my family here, and the only thing you've done, Adagio, was hurt me from the second we arrived here!" I exclaimed, my voice breaking, "I may not be the brightest person here, but at least I know, if it came down to it, I can be alone. I can do whatever I want and I don't need two lackeys to do my dirty work!"

"You are nothing without me, Sonata. And the same goes for Aria," Adagio hissed, looking back towards Aria, who flinched slightly at her words, "Neither of you are worth anything without me!" she snapped at me.

"Oh really?! When it comes down to it, neither me or Aria see you being the first to jump! You're the one that's always hiding behind us! You always run in the face of danger! You're a coward, Adagio!" I snapped back.

Adagio turned to face me once more, her eyes, now, glowing a fiery red, "How dare you call me a coward! Back in Equestria, I was the one who took all the damage! I was the one who had to fight off the enemy!" she growled, "If you want to leave, then fine! We don't need or want you around anyways! You've been nothing more than a disappointment and a failure! So fine! Leave!!!"

"Oh. Well, if that's the case, then; I guess I'm dead to you," I said, a grin on my face, "I'm done with you, as well. And Aria…" I paused looking over towards the purple-skinned girl, "You're better off without her." I said, walking passed the two.

Adagio looked at me, growling, and darted towards me. By the time she reached me, a wave of power bolted from my body, sending her back, "I'm only going to say this once, Adagio: leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you. I don't want to be near you! I want you to be as far away from me as possible!" I yelled at her.

I looked behind towards Aria, to see her standing in shock, "As for you, I'm not mad at you. If you chose to stay here with me, or go with… that bitch… is entirely up to you." I stated before walking past her to head back up to Lemon's apartment.

As I opened the door, I was greeted to Lemon standing there with a gun pointed directly at me, "What… in the world are you?"

"Where did you get a gun?!"

"Answer me first!" Lemon demanded. A sigh of defeat slipped through my lips as I looked down.

"I am not of this world… I used to be evil, but I'm not, now. I don't think I could be anymore. And frankly, I don't want to be." I professed, still looking down.

"That doesn't exactly answer my question, Sonata." Lemon retorted, pulling back the hammer.

"I'm a siren… I, or used to, feed off the pain and grief of others. Though, I can't anymore due to my pendant being shattered, which caused me to lose that power and starve. I've been forced to starve for several months now." I confessed, waiting for the worse.

"B-but… you're not evil anymore, right?" Lemon asked me, caution in her voice.

"No, I'm not. The girl that I just beat up used to be my leader, but after so much abuse, I got tired of it and knocked her out earlier today. She came back to return the favour, or tried to, at least," I explained before letting out a soft sigh, "But I'll leave, seeing as how you're scared of me as well." I said with pain in my voice, as I turned to leave.

"Wait, I thought you said you didn't have anywhere to go to?" Lemon asked me, lowering her gun.

"I don't. When me and Adagio got into that argument, she kept calling me 'useless' and 'stupid'; I-I… I just couldn't handle it anymore and I attacked her. Because of her, I believed all of that… and still do." I said, keeping my gaze down on the floor, away from Lemon's.

I heard the gun being placed down on the counter and Lemon rushed up to me, gently placing her hands on my cheek to examine my eye, "I-I don't want you to leave, Sonata. It's just, after seeing you do that, it kind of put me in shock." she said, reaching up to touch where Adagio had struck me.

Lemon then dragged me into her bathroom and sat me down on the toilet, "Y-you… you're not mad at me?" I asked, my voice cracking.

"Mad? No. Scared and worried? Yes." I looked up at Lemon and tilted my head.

"Why is that?" I asked, watching Lemon head towards the medicine cabinet and pulled out a few supplies.

"Well, I'm scared, mainly because I've never seen anything like what I just saw. And I'm worried because, what if you go back to your ways?" Lemon asked, a hint of worry evident in her voice.

I shook my head and smiled softly, "You have nothing to worry about on that. I'm officially done with that way of life."

Lemon looked up at me with a raised brow before chuckling softly, "Sorry for the third degree. I just don't wanna end up on the news with it headlining 'Body of Crystal Prep student found in apartment!'." she stated sarcastically.

I smirked softly and nodded, "Oh, believe me; if that was to happen, you'd most likely be the only person I wouldn't hurt." I proclaimed with Lemon's face instantly lighting up. She pulled her gaze away from mine to look at my eye, to see that it was starting to bruise up.

"Well, it's going to be tender, but if we put something cold on it, it'll stop it from swelling l up. At most, it'll just leave a bruise." Lemon assured, rushing off into the kitchen, to come back with a small ice pack, "Here. Put this on your eye."

I smiled and placed it over my eye and stood up. Lemon let out a small sigh of relief and smiled as well, "Welp, you wanna go back into the living room and watch some TV?" she asked. I gave a soft nod as my answer.

Coming out of the bathroom, we were greeted to Aria standing at the doorway, guilt written all over her face. "What are you still doing here?" Lemon asked, glaring at Aria.

I reached out and gently took hold of Lemon's hand, eliciting her to looked back at me, as I shook my head, "No, it's okay. She's about the only one I trust from my past life." I assured, stepping in front of Lemon and walked towards Aria.

"L-Listen, you were right. Adagio is a bitch, and practically does nothing but talks to us like dogs. I'm tired of it, Sonata." Aria lamented, looking down at the ground.

"Well, what do you plan on doing?" I inquired.

Aria just gave a soft shrug, "Dunno, really. Although, I have been talking to this one guy a few months back, but Adagio told me to leave him alone. So, I may try and to talk to him, see if he'd be willing to let me crash with him for a while, or at least, until I can get back on my feet and get a place of my own." she stated.

"Actually, there are a few apartments here that are vacant, and rent's pretty cheap, too." Lemon informed, walking up behind me.

Aria nodded softly, "I might look into that." she said with a faint smile, "Well, I guess I'm gonna head on out and drag Adagio back home. You guys have a good night." she said as she turned to leave.

Though, she paused, seeing a heavily panting Twilight Sparkle with one Sunset Shimmer following not too far behind, "W-Wait! We've been looking all over for you guys the past few days…" she gasped as she began digging through her purse.

"And what exactly is it that you want with us, little Miss Princess?" Aria snapped at her.

"L-Listen, a-after the Battle of the Bands – and us breaking your pendants – I did some research, and read that if a siren's pendant is broken, they'll basically wither away. And I didn't want that to happen. So, Sunset and I made these." Twilight explained, pulling out two pendants, the jewel being a diamond that was neatly held up with a silver, silky cloth.

Aria snatched them from her to give them a closer examination, "Well, it's just a jewel. So what?" she hissed.

"Well, not exactly," Twilight began, "They allow you to live your lives as humans. Not only that, but they also allow you to regain your singing voices, but doesn't allow you to control people. And they allow you guys to stay in contact with each other, no matter how far away you may be from one another." she explained with a faint smile.

I looked at her and smiled softly, "Wow. T-Thank you, Twilight." I thanked, taking one of the pendants from Aria and put it on.

"Oh, it's no problem. Just trying to help out any way that I can!" Twilight bashfully professed.

"Well, if it wasn't for you, and your friends, we wouldn't have this problem in the first place…" Aria scoffed, glaring at Twilight causing her to flinch a little.

Seeing this, Sunset quickly stepped in front of Twilight with me darting in front of Aria to calm her down, "Hey! Be thankful, Aria! We're all turning over a new leaf, especially since Adagio's not running our lives anymore." I pleaded, knowing that Sunset was glaring at the both of us.

Aria sighed and rolled her eyes, "Fine…" she groaned. I turned to face Twilight and Sunset; Twilight extremely confused at what I just said.

"What happened to Adagio?" She asked.

"Well, to make a long story short: I basically put her in her place." I said with a soft smile.

Twilight nodded softly and looked over towards the parking lot to see Adagio slowly trying to get up. "Should we trust her with one of these?" she asked Sunset.

"I really don't know. Personally, I'd say 'no'. She may end up trying to change the magical properties of it." Sunset answered.

"Well, if you'd like, I could hold on to it and see what happens? If she's still a bitch, then I won't give it to her." Aria suggested.

Twilight looked at her, slightly confused on what to do, "Ehh, on second thought, I'll hold on to it and have Sunset figure out whether or not she deserves it back." she answered.

"Twi, it's getting late. We should probably head home." Sunset stated. "Okay, Sunny. Hopefully, Spike won't try to keep you off of the bed this time so we can actually get some sleep." Twilight giggled.

I don't know what had happened, but I just felt extremely giddy, "Oh, my gosh! Are you two a couple now?!" I exclaimed in complete euphoria as the two of them blushed deeply.

"Yup! We've been together for almost a year now." Sunset stated proudly, wrapping an arm around Twilight, whose blush grew deeper.

"Aww~! Congrats, you guys!" I exclaimed in genuine happiness for the two.

"Well, how about you two?" Twilight asked, "Have either of you found anyone special?" I blushed deeply and looked back to see Lemon in the doorway, curious on what's going on.

"N-no! N-not yet. Though, I have high hopes." I answered, blushing even more.

"What about you Aria?"

"Eh, I met a pretty nice guy a while back. See what happens there." Aria answered.

"Oh. Well, alright, then. I guess we're going to head on out. You two have a good night." Twilight said as she and Sunset turned to leave.

"Sonata, before I go, I just want you to know that I'm sorry for everything. I understand that you may wanna take some time away from me, but I am sorry." Aria said to me as she walked down the steps and into the parking lot.

I smiled softly and shut the door, "So, you got a lot of friends." Lemon said with a smirk.

"I guess so. I haven't really thought about it, to be honest. I just kind of go wherever I want, and that's about it." Lemon looked at me and nodded softly, although, her eyes quickly darted towards the ground.

I walked over to her and sat down, resting my head back in her lap and looked up at her, "Though, I'll stay here, if you'd like~" I stated as Lemon's eyes lit up slightly as she nodded.

"So, how about we get back to trying to watch something?" Lemon asked, smirking, as I nodded in agreement.

——

A few hours passed with me waking up with Lemon laying behind me, arms wrapped around me and holding me close. I felt my face heat up as I snuggled up against her, finally feeling content with myself. Though, felt her start to stir as soon as I got comfortable again. "Mmm, what time is it?" Lemon somewhat groggily asked with her eyes still shut.

I reached over to the coffee table to grab her phone to check what time it was, though, I felt a thick envelope instead. "What's this?" I asked myself as I sat up.

"Dear Lemon" it read on the top of it. Lemon slowly began to sit up as well, looking at what I was referring to. "What's what?" she asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "I think it's for you." I answered, handing her the envelope.

Lemon rose a brow and opened it, her jaw automatically hitting the floor. "Well? What is it?" I asked as she reached in to it to pull out multiple big bills from the envelope, along with a note that fell out shortly after.

"Okay, this is getting weirder by the second." Lemon stated, as she reached down and grabbed the note and opened it up and read it in a tone filled with a mix of confusion, joy and anger:

"Dear Lemon, I know I haven't seen you, or your mom ever since you were little, but I have my reasons for doing so. I wish to come talk to you about everything that happened in the past, and to hopefully clear a lot of things up. I've missed you so much and feel horrible about what happened and I hope that you can forgive me. I will be swinging by in a couple of days to talk to you. If you don't wanna talk, I understand, but just hear me out on what I have to say.

Sincerely, your Old Man."

I darted up and walked over to the door and opened it, to see a motorcycle quickly pull off down the road. When I turned around, there was a piece of paper hanging up on the wall.

"Also, learn to shut the door next time."

I grabbed the paper and sighed, turning to walk back inside. I saw Lemon sitting on the couch, counting out the amount, "H-he… he gave me five-thousand dollars…" she stuttered.

I rushed up beside of her and sat down, "Wait, how much?!" Lemon handed me the cash. I began to count it out, and sure enough, there was five-thousand dollars. "Why would he give you so much all at once?"

"I dunno. Wait, hold on, there's something else in the bottom of it." Lemon said, shaking out a small note.

"By the way, while you two were asleep, I kinda made myself at home. Saw the stack of bills laying on the counter. Counted it out. Lemon owes a hefty amount. That's a bad Lemon! Also peaked around the apartment and saw that the furniture was mostly old, torn and worn out… But anyways, the bills will be paid for in full, and you'll have nothing to worry about! And I'll have brand new furniture brought in tomorrow. Also, please clean up a bit, would ya?"

Lemon looked at me and sat back on the couch, "He really knows how to spoil someone, huh?" she laughed softly.

"What does he do for a living?" I asked, extremely confused at what's going on.

"Well, when he left. He was a Sergeant in the army, and was getting ready to do another tour, as well as getting ready to be promoted to an officer." Lemon answered, trying to rack her brain for anymore information.

Lemon looked at me and gave a soft smile, "Well, regardless of everything given to us, I'm not going to go on a shopping-spree and blow everything in one day."

"Even if you did, I think he'd be back with more money, but you're right; we need to try to save this for as long as possible." Lemon nodded softly and gave a sigh of relief and slouched back.

"This means that I can still afford to go to Crystal Prep." Lemon then froze up and looked at her phone, "Crap! It's almost three in the morning, I need to get to bed." she cried out as she got up and darted towards her room.

I followed her to see her now, in nothing but her bra and panties, my face automatically lighting up. "U-Um, do you, by any chance, have anything that I can sleep in?" I asked, trying not to look at her.

"I might, but I can make any promises." Lemon said, digging through her clothes that's been cast throughout her bedroom. Finally, she pulled up from one the piles of clothes, a pair of shorts and an extremely large tank top.

I went into the bathroom and quickly changed, only to see that my boobs were almost hanging out of the tank top. I sighed and walked back into the bedroom room to see her room in its entirety. The only thing in it was a TV that was no bigger than a picture frame, and a mattress that's been placed on the floor with Lemon trying to make herself. I shyly walked in and sat down on the mattress and lied down beside her.

"I can still sleep on the couch if you'd like." I offered, blushing deeply.

"No, it's ok. Besides, it'd be nice to have a cuddle buddy~" Lemon purred, winking playfully at me, causing my face to reach a whole new shade of red. She reached up and turned off a small lamp above our heads and pulled the blankets over us.

"Sweet dreams, Sonata." Lemon said, laying on her back with an arm under my head. I looked and smiled and rested my head on her chest.

"Sweet dreams, Lemon." I said as she wrapped her arm around me, pulling her close to me.
