School went by quickly, and Burst and his friends soon gathered at Sugar Cube Corner where Pinkie had a party set up for Paradox being defeated. "We SO deserve this.", Shadow said with a smile! "Let's party!" As their friends proceeded to have a good time, Burst gathered Inferno, Ace, and Gold.
"So guys? Did you get all the stuff prepared?", Burst asked.
"We dropped it off earlier today.", Inferno answered. "Pinkie even helped us get our equipment set up."
"You sure about this song Burst?", Ace asked.
"It's a classic of rock dude. Of course I'm sure. Besides. Shadow and Starlight need a good song to share a kiss to. Let's do it!" The group soon took the stage Pinkie had set for them and began to play. Once the beat was set, Burst began to sing.
Once upon a time not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...
It's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
She brings home her pay
For love, for love
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got.
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot.
For love we'll give it a shot."
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in
What he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers,
"Baby, it's okay, someday...
...We've gotta hold on to what we've got.
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot.
For love we'll give it a shot."
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
We've gotta hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
As Burst and his friends performed, Shadow wrapped his arms around Starlight as she faced him, and pulled her into a kiss. Once the guys had finished performing, each of them went to their respective girlfriend. Burst smiled as he saw his friends happy with the girls they loved. Nightmare was smiling too as she and Burst hugged each other. "I knew Shadow would save Starlight."
"Just like you changed me Burst.", Nightmare said with a loving smile.
"How do you figure that Moon?"
"Because Burst. You filled my dark soul with light." Nightmare and Burst shared a deep kiss before rejoining the party.
"I think that upcoming field trip is going to feel pretty good after all this craziness."
