seems to be garnering a lot of love, and I'm now working on starting a sequel. I should be working more on it tomorrow, and the first chapter should (hopefully) be up some time tomorrow night (EST). It should be up in a couple days. Bare with me. The sequel will be made multi-chapter and will, later on, have plot-centered clop. So be ready for the upload by reading the original!

Now, what does this mean for my other unfinished works? Well, "Tributes" is on a long-term hiatus until I put its priority above everything else. "Troubled Chocolate Rain" may need to go into hiatus too. I have plans for it, but I feel like I don't have enough to make it a well-fitted, well-paced story. "My Little Foundation" and my upcoming fic will likely be updated alternatively, maybe with some level of inconsistency.

With all that out of the way, here are some lyrics I rewrote on a whim. This may or may not be fuel for one of my planned fics. Inspired by "Somebody That I Used to Know" and this picture:

[As sung by Rainbow Dash and Pinkamena to the tune of “Somebody That I Used to Know”]

[Dashie:]
Now and then I think of when we danced together,
And when you said you felt so happy deep inside.
I told myself you wouldn’t lie to me,
But you weren’t the same without my company.
But this is love and it’s no mistake I still stand by you.

You’ve become addicted to a certain kind of sadness,
Like no admission in the end, no not the end.
And when I found that it did not make sense,
Well you said, “It’s all the truth, my friend.”
But I knew there was more that you weren’t tellin’....

Well you didn’t have to live a lie!
Dance around like it never happened and that it was nothing!
But Pinkie I still want your love!
But you treat me like a stranger, and it feels so rough.
No you didn’t have to change yourself!
Cover up your tracks and pretend like it never happened!
Guess I didn’t need to know,
But now you’re just a Pinkie that I used to know!

Now you’re just a Pinkie that I used to know!
Now you’re just a Pinkie that I used to know!

[Pinkie:]
Now and then I think of all the times I was left alone
But always found escape when I could be a friend instead of dull.
But I don’t wanna live this way:
Memorizing every word to say.
Always wanted to let it go,
But didn’t wanna end up like just a Pinkie that you used to know!

[Dashie:]
But you didn’t have to live a lie!
Dance around like it never happened and that it was nothing!
But Pinkie I still want your love!
But you treat me like a stranger, and it feels so rough.
No you didn’t have to change yourself!
Cover up your tracks and pretend like it never happened!
Guess I didn’t need to know,
But now you’re just a Pinkie that I used to know!

[Both:]
Pinkie Pie.... (I used to know.)
Pinkie Pie.... (Now you’re just a Pinkie that I used to know!)
Pinkie Pie.... (You used to know.)
Pinkie Pie.... (Now I’m just a Pinkie that you used to know.)

(I used to know.)
(That you used to know.)
(I used to know.)
Pinkie Pie’s all alone.
