Karaoke night

The place was moderately full. Ponies of all sorts were about. Those that knew each other and those that didn't. Even those that were hardly friends were here. But none of it mattered. All that mattered was who was on stage. Nothing more.

A mare with a cream coat stumbled onto stage, blue mane looking better than usual. Indifferently, she tapped the mic loudly and smirked slightly.

"This song is a little something that touches me...and that a friend of mine said I should sing..." She took out a flask and quickly swigged it. "Well, here goes nothing!"

Just as the music began, another pony joined her nearer the back of the stage. A brown pony with black mane and eye patch. He glowed with a gentle smile.

(Actual song here.)

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Shala: I don't like walking around this old and empty house.
Renny: So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear.
Shala: The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake.
Renny: It's the house telling you to close your eyes.

Shala: And some days I can't even trust myself.
Renny: It's killing me to see you this way.

Both:
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Shala: There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back.
Renny: Well tell her that I miss our little talks.
Shala: Soon it will be over and buried with our past.
Renny: We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.

Shala: Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right.
Renny: Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear.

Both:
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

Hey!
Hey!

Both:
You're gone, gone, gone away.
I watched you disappear.
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do.
Just let me go we'll meet again soon.
Now wait, wait, wait for me!
Please hang around!
I'll see you when I fall asleep!

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Shala wiped her eyes as Renny put a hoof along her back to guide her from the stage to their seats. Both of them smiled like they had never for a long time.

Vastile smiled as the two ponies left and he came on. "That was very nice, you two."

Vastile brought a Trumpet with him.

"You folks are in for a treat, I promise you. I'm going to teach you a thing or two about Ska, with the help with a little but of magic."

Vastile brought his trumpet up and let out a blast! The single note was accompanied by a burst of color, which escaped from the bell, Vastile's magic at work.

The colors formed behind him in the form of a full Brass and Wood band, which played their instruments as well.

Talking away
I don't know what's left to say
I'm sayin' it anyway
Today's not my day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love o.k.?

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends again
But it's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is o.k.
Say it after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me,
take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two

Things that you say
yeah is it life or just to play my
Worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me,
take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two

Take on me,
take me on
I'll be gone
in a day

Vastile cut off the last note and all the visions disappeared!
The bar was filled with applause and Vastile was happy in his performance.

Karaoke is for others, I am a musician!

"Thank you all, I'll be back sooner or later for something a little more lay-back."
Vastile jumped down and headed for the Bar, "A Warp Pipe, please!"

Eyes alight with a flame as yet not quenched, the toymaker known as Warm Threads approached the mic on stage, armed with grin that would have been banned by religion if happiness could kill.

"Hey, everypony! I'm not exactly the best singer-songer here tonight but I you know sometimes you can't help but do something like steal the last cookie from the jar? It's like that but musicwise and everypony's having a good time and I'm so happy I could just sing but not really because this song is like talk-singing? Somepony said that they'd kill anypony that tried to rap up here but what's so bad about birthday presents? Anyway! Song! Singy box, sing!"

"(And a~)

Maybe I should speak softly,
Maybe I should go slowly,
But when I feel so happy,
I just cannot stop!

They tell me I talk just way too fast,
They tell me I no real sense so,
I try my best, to give it a rest,
Suddenly what? Think I've gone too far!

Thought it might've worked if I tried,
Maybe I done it around the wrong way,
Clockwise or could've been counter-clockwise,
Let me give it a shot, with all I got!

Ooh-ah-ooh--ah-i, ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh,
Going off somewhere, and I don't care,
Where I should be...

Ooh-ah-ooh--ah-ooh, ooh-ah-ooh-ah-i,
But it would be good, if you just could,
Just wait a sec for me.

So glad there's so much to see,
So much to sing, so much to do,
But it would make me happy,
If I were there with you~!

Maybe I should think smartly,
Maybe I should sing lovely,
But I just feel so silly,
When I act like a prop!

Maybe I should speak softly,
Maybe I should go slowly,
But when I feel so happy,
I just cannot stop!

They say I should think before I should speak, but I,
Trip over like an untied shoelace,
The plastic things, are called aglets,
They stop the lace from unraveling.

Maybe I should, don't know,
Something like, quite so,
Vertical, or was it horizontal,
Aglets for my mind to stop it going loco!

Ooh-ah-ooh--ah-i, ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh,
Maybe I should I stay, with my things of play,
And not bother you...

Ooh-ah-ooh--ah-ooh, ooh-ah-ooh-ah-i,
Just making toys, out of love and joy,
Is how I'll pull through.

So glad there's so much to see,
So much to sing, so much to do,
But it would make me happy,
If I were there with you~!

Speaking softer, speaking slower, to be part of, circulation,
Being smarter, being stronger, to be part of, circulation,
Thinking straighter, Thinking clearer, to be part of, circulation,
Feeling colder, feeling duller, to be part of, circulation.

Ooh-ah-ooh--ah-i, ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh,
Going off somewhere, and I don't care,
Where I should be...

Ooh-ah-ooh--ah-ooh, ooh-ah-ooh-ah-i,
But it would be good, if you just could,
Just wait a sec for me.

So glad there's so much to see,
So much to sing, so much to do,
But it would make me happy,
If I were there with you~!

Maybe I should think smartly,
Maybe I should sing lovely,
But I just feel so silly,
When I act like a prop!

Maybe I should speak softly,
Maybe I should go slowly,
But when I feel so happy,
I just cannot stop!

Rosie nervously mounted the stage. She was usually a super charismatic pony, but she was shy when it came to singing. Others had urged her to perform tonight, so she decided to just give it a go.

"Alright, ponies," she said. "I'm going to slow it down just a tad. Here's a song that made my heart warm and tears form in my eyes."

She cleared her throat and took the mic.

Heart, beats, fast.
Colors and promises.
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid, to, fall,

But watching you stand
alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away, somehow.

One, step, closer.

I have died, every day, waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more.

Time, stands, still.
Beauty and all, she, is.
I will be brave!
I will not let anything take, away

What's standing in front
Of me,
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this.

One, step, closer.

I have died, every day, waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.

And all along, I believed, I would find you.
Time has brought your heart to me,
I have loved you for a thousand years.
[center]I'll love you for a thousand more.

One, step, closer.

One, step, closer!

I have died, every day, waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.

And all along, I believed, I would find you.
Time has brought your heart to me,
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.
