Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

As The sun hit my eyes, I struggle to open them. Turning over I let out a yawn and get up. Walking towards the curtains i look out my apartment building to see that half of Manehatten had already awaken from their sleep. Noticing that I was going to be late for rehearsal, I quickly grab some bread and put it in the toaster as i headed to the washroom. Washing my long dark hair took longer then expected, so i decided to let it dry on the way to my rehearsal. Grabbing the toast i head out the door and start galloping down the stairs till i noticed.... I forgot my cello and to lock the door.

With the delay from this morning I almost missed practice, which in return i mentally kicked Myself. Setting up my cello on the stage I looked at my watch see it was about twelve, which in my case was pretty lucky, seeing that everyone was out walking around.

Then out of nowhere a unicorn trotted down the path listening to music with her headphones on and a big pair of purple glasses hiding her face. Watching her go down the road, I notice her cutie mark, not because I was looking at her flank or anything, but because it was hard not to notice it. It was a big blue musical note and just like that, I knew she was a music pony too. Watching her smile in the morning sun was just simply amazing, she was...Beautiful. Wait, did I just say that about somepony I never met? What am i thinking? Fighting with myself I surrendered. I guess it isn't weird thinking she's a beautiful mare, not like I was saying I would like to date her. Besides i'm still a little hung overed about him...

Deciding I was wasting time, I grabbed my cello and closed my eyes. Taking a deep breath I slowly swung my arm and started to Play. I smiled as pony's gathered around to hear the music i was composing. Yes i'm a composer, a very talented one at that. I love music and I love composing, these two things kept me smiling through thick and thin. Music saved me from depression. So I play, I play to thank those who invented music, to those who inspired me and those who helped me. Now when I play, I get lost in the rhythm. Everything is completely still when i play, so calm and relaxing, just how I like it.

Finally finishing I played more songs, different ones and again, I got lost.

As four-thirty came, I decided it was enough for today. So till supper came i was to look for stuff to do.

Looking around, I saw the skate park and remembered that an old friend of mine worked there, so i started trotting towards the stand. Then from the corner of my eye, I saw that mare again, that same mare from the park. She was trying to ride a skateboard. I giggled at the site of her falling down from the skateboard, and then i remembered, I was going to see my friend.

Trotting to the stand, I saw him and waved my hooves, catching him attention I smiled. "Hey! Long time no see Frederic." I said excitedly.

He just gave me a warm smile and nodded.

Trotting towards him I asked "How have you've been lately?

"Good and what about you? I hear you have a boyfriend" was his reply.

Frowning I look away. "Had" I corrected him. "It didn't really... work"

"Oh. I-i'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything" he said, rather worriedly.

"Let's just change the subject" I suggested.

Nodding he asked "Can I have your cell number so we can stay in touch?"

"Sure"

Exchanging numbers, we started to talk for awhile. Till we decided to part ways for the day.

Next I decided that i could go for a drink, so I went down the road again. Looking into shop windows while trotting, I found some nice and elegant things.

Then, I reached a strange shop. Cosplay mania? I read the sign. It interested me, so I entered with no hesitation. I looked around to see a endless supply of clothing. My eyes just widened. Then somepony came up to me. She looked like she worked here, and sure enough she did. Asking me if i needed some help, I just shook my head and said "no, thank you." I went to the back and found a nice ballerina outfit and tried it on. I always wanted to be a ballerina, when I was just a filly. Taking a few pictures, I took them off and left to the door. Almost at the door I looked over the counter, and I was surprised to see that same pony, with the electric blue mane, in a Batpony outfit. About to laugh, I covered me muzzle and trotted out the door. Looking back i just chuckled and left.

Smiling to no end, I finally arrived at my destination.Harmony Bistro. Ah, how I love this place. I can always relax here. Entering I sat down waiting for the waiter.

Lost in thought, I looked out the window and smiled as i looked at the blue sky. Blue.... electric blue' White body.. Shaking my head, I hesitated. What am I thinking? Sighing, I hear somepony approaching, thinking it was my waiter, so I smile. Turning my head, I was shock to see the white coated pony coming closer and closer till, finally she stopped, and without warning she opened her mouth and said. "Hi i'm Vinyl whats yours?..."
