Ch 21 My Talent

My mom and I are going to the music shop because about five months ago I discovered I have a musical talent and I find playing musical instruments to be very enjoyable. My favorite one is the violin. They are however about forty-five bits in Ponyville and we had to save up before we could get it.

When we got in, I picked out a simple looking one with simple white swirling designs on it. I’ll be able to easily play it since I am much bigger than I used to be, and I have claws rather than hooves. 

I choose to practice at the park. I already have some skills at playing thanks to some lessons from Octavia. I continued to play my piece of music feeling at peace with my mind.

I saw some ponies listening to me play. They all saw my talent and applauded. I smiled at that. 

I then saw Sweetie Belle approach me “Wow Spike you have a gift.” My friend complimented.

I smiled at her, “Thank you Sweetie Belle if you want, I can play for you.” I offered.

She had the cutest expression “You’d really do that for me.” She said with a smile.

“Of course, you’re my friend, why wouldn’t I.” I said with genuine care for my friend. She then sat down, and I began to play.

I began to play Octava Del Nova, one of my favorite songs. It has a free fast tone and is very beautiful. Sweetie Belle listened with awe. I got to my favorite part of the song with a great speed and beauty to it. She looked in awe at my talent. I then finished.

“Well, I wasn’t wrong Spike you truly do have a gift.” Sweetie Belle said in awe.

I smiled at the appraisal. “Why thank you.” I spoke.

I then looked at my close friend with care. “You know Sweetie Belle; we can always do this again.” I spoke.

She looked at me with a smile. “Yeah, I’d like that.” She said,
