Author's note: This mini chapter takes place concurrently with chapter 2.

Sonata Dusk continued to pout as she stomped down the sidewalk. "I can't believe Aria said all those mean things!" Sonata huffed as she checked her town map to make sure she was heading the right way. The Sirens still hadn't saved up quite enough to get cellphones so they still had to use more old fashioned means to navigate through the city, not that such a thing bothered Sonata as she considered the maps helped make things more fun, like a scavenger hunt, but looking for buildings instead of things. Sonata just chuckled as she looked down at the map and did her best to locate the street Sandalwood's apartment complex was on.

Sonata arrived at the apartment a bit quicker then she had expected. "Who knew I was such a good map reader" she chuckled to herself as she knocked on the door. Not to long after she heard the lock click as the door opened and Sandalwood smiled as he looked down at the bubbly siren girl. "Sup!?" He asked in his ever relaxed voice as he let out a soft smile.

"Sandy!" Sonata chuckled as she jumped at the rather muscular green haired human and embraced him in one of her usual tight hugs.

"Haha, nice to see you too babe" He replied returning the embrace "Now c'mon in, lets get this party started.

Sonata looked around the rather small apartment. Other then the somewhat overwhelming smell of marijuana the place seemed to be clean. The living room was mostly bare, just a small couch big enough for two, maybe three people to sit on, a small oak coffee table to lay drinks and food on and a rather large flatscreen TV atop a make-shift display. Sonata continued to walk and look around the abode, peaking behind the oval hole in the wall to see a small kitchen area, nice blue tile floors, a decently size circular table for friends to gather and share stories and meals, a moderately sized sink area and a closet in the back she could only guess was where the pantry was found. Turning around and looking at the wall the TV was on she looked to the right and saw a small door with a wooden sign that read "Nature's Bounty" chuckling and guessing that was most likely the restroom, meaning the door to the other side on the left was most likely the bedroom.

"So, where's everybody else?" Sonata asked.

Sandalwood just chuckled. "They bailed, said a sleepover on a school night was a bad idea anyway, said they'd rather wait until...." Sandalwood paused "You know what, it's not important, my girls here and that's good enough for me." He smiled as he plopped down on the couch, patting the other seat motioning for her to sit down. Sonata just shrugged and tossed her bag over in front of the bedroom door and set down on the couch with him.

Hours passed as Sonata and Sandalwood just set and watched TV, some nature documentary that honestly Sonata found quite boring, but didn't want to say anything out of fear of insulting her new boyfriend, so she just sighed.

"Hey, everything alright?" Sandalwood asked as he stared at the siren with his usual relaxed and kind hearted look.

"Yea, I guess, it's just...." Sonata paused.

"Just what?" Sandalwood asked.

"I-I got into a big fight with my sisters before I came over, bigger then usual, I-I don't think I can go back there for awhile" Sonata sobbed.

"Hey, s'all good" Sandy reassured her. "If you ask me those two had whatever you had to say to them coming, specially that Aria, no offense, but she's kinda scary." Sandalwood chuckled

"Haha-yea I guess, they can be pretty intense sometimes." Sonata chuckled "But-wh-what if I went to far?" She asked her face once again turning into a pout.

Sandalwood just got up and motioned for her to follow him to the bedroom.

Sonata just gulped. "Y-you're not gonna try anything funny are yea?" The girl nervously asked, only partially joking.

"Babe, I won't do anything you don't wan't me too, and I have a feeling all you want tonight is a good nights sleep to help clear your head." He smiled at the siren as he opened the door and pointed to the bed.

Sonata just smiled. "Thanks sandy, you're the best" she giggled as she plopped down on the bed, hopping a good nights sleep would help clear her head.
