//------------------------------// // Hallelujah // Story: Cowponies // by East Coast //------------------------------// The featured song is "Hallelujah" by...well allot of people have done this. I'll give credit to Rufus Wainright and Then leave it to speculation and of course Hush now quiet now. This is aslo modified to meet pony standards. The bold is Italic bold is six, the normal Italic is A.J. And Italic,bold,underlined is them both in tandem. Ps: It Strikes me now that we have no official new mlp for sometime......I will cry later. Edit: Wikipedia says the song was written by a man by the name of Leonard Cohen. Soo... There ya go... ------- Six and Surprise had sense stepped down from the stage, and got a room. Surprise had taken what was left of sixs' money to go buy supplies for the long walk to Ponyville. He was alone with his thoughts and his trusty instrument. He lifted it onto his lap as he lay on the edge of the bed, he took a deep sigh in as he began plucked the strings. The first song he could ever play. I heard there was a secret chord, that Luna played and it pleased Her sis But you don't really care for music do you ___ Apple jack trotted into her home slowly, a hard day of bucking left her legs tired. Without so much as a "goodnight" she retired to her room. She opened the door and heard a melodic -thunk- as the door eased open. Her guitar lay there on the floor. It had been propped up against the door, a string was broken. "Oh that applebloom..." She picked it up and tossed it on her bed, she slid onto her bed and let her hair down and carefully drew a hair from her mane and restrung the instrument, tuned it and struck a chord. She noticed the chord and frowned. She just meant to make sure it was in tune, the chord she played brought her back to Six, she had thought about him in increasing frequency this whole week. Sense the wedding, and that burst of love. It made her feel like...Like she was missing somepony...She continued tugging to the tune she knew all too well. Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled girl composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah ____ Hallelujah, Hallelujah~ Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah~ Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah~ There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you? And remember when I moved in you? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah~ Hallelujah, Hallelujah~ Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you Its not a cry you can hear at night Its not somebody who's seen the light Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah~ ___ Surprise sat in the door frame looking at six quizzically "Huh. I dind't know you could sing pretty! I thought it was just what you did down there." "Naw. Ah had ta work ta sang like that. Learned How to sing proper from a unicorn out in ponyville. Real proppa thing 'erself. She taught me how ta speak like some uppy folk round here do." "Well then why don't you?" "Ain't who I am." "Yes it is...Kinda! You leeeeearned how to do it! So why not right?" "Cause-It-Ain't-Me. Plus, it stresses mah...Teeth..." "Your teeth?" "Yeh, mah teeth. Now drop it." "Ohhhh touchy touchy! Annnnnyway Mr. Cranky pants, I got a whole bunch of stuff for tomorrow. Assuuuuuming you don't eat like a pig,or a cow...No...You SHOULD eat like a cow! If you could eat the same thing for a day than that would be great! We'd have enough stuff left to throw a party! Like a 'Welcoming the welcome party party!' Ohhhh that'd be so cool!" "Calm yerself girl. Ah don think that'll be a problem. I figure, long as we stay on thah path, we'll git there in about three days. Worse comes ta worse we eat some of the grass long the way." "Wait...You mean like WILD grass? Woah! That's so-" "Barbaric? Neanderthalic?" "Coool! I didn't know you could THAT!" "Healthier than shovin cupcakes down yer maw erry day." "Maw nom nom! Heheha! ... So... That song you were singing." Six rolled his eyes and layed the Guitar against the leg of the bed as he drew the covers over himself "Drop it." "But it was pretty! Who taught it to you?" "A friend! Now go ta bed!" "But I'm not sleepy!" "To bad!" "Play me a lullaby?" "No." "Pleeeeeease?" "I don know any." "Awwww yes you do! I KNOW you do! Everypony does!" "Aw celestia not THAT one." "C'mooooon~ Hush now-" "Quiet! Now, Go ta bed!" "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease~! Please, please, please, please, please~!" At this point the white mare was jumping on the top bunk of the bed, sinking in so much that Sixs' head was being pummeled with plush mattress. "FINE!" "In your Handsome voice please!" >Handsome? Mah singin voice is handsome?< "Oh goddess stop sayin please..." "Forever? Or just right now?" "Git in bed!" "O.k o.k....Cranky Doodle Donkey..." "Who?" "Nopony." "Ya done?" She nodded and pulled a small stuffed bear from her mane, six conveniently missed this as he floated his guitar back onto the bed and lay back on the pillows and sighed as he gave a quiet note that would be his tempo. Hush now, quiet now it's time to lay yer sleepy head Hush now, quiet now it's time to go to bed. Hush now, quiet now it's time to lay yer sleepy head Hush now, quiet now it's time to go to bed. Driftin' off to sleep The exciting day behind you. Driftin' off to sleep Let the joy of dream land find you. "...You only know that much? What about the rest." "Ain't never heard the rest." "Ffft, some musician." "Awww jus go ta bed!" Six floated the guitar under his bunk and threw the covers up over him with a grunt. He couldn't get any sleep though. Memories and thoughts of apple jack ran through his mind. "I miss yah girl...I'll be home soon..."
