//------------------------------// // Chapter 12 // Story: Princess Sky Stormer // by Skymaster9929 //------------------------------// Sky Stormer and Twilight Sparkle entered the building in time to see the crying comedian get thrown out while Pinkie did wrestling moves to security guards trying to throw her out. "Stop!" Twilight said, and the guards bowed to her. "Wasn't that a great show? All part of the show, folks." A pony said, coming onto the stage, and everypony quickly moved on. "Next up, we have a song from... Sky Stormer?" "That's you!" Twilight realized. Sky got nervous. "Um... do I have to go up there?" "If you want to keep being a Princess, yes." Twilight said flatly. Sky thought for a moment. "Okay, I'll do it." She said nervously. "After this, there won't be a dry seat in the house!" Patty said excitedly. "She's that good?" Rainbow asked. "Oh yeah." Patty nodded. "If she wasn't so shy, she'd be a rockstar by now. Back home, she did open mic nights, too. She was so good, she got crowds of DOZENS. Still, this is the biggest crowd she's ever had. I reeeeally hope she doesn't freak out and cry and wet herself this time." "She did that once?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, on her History report. I went to Cloudsdale, too. I... kinda remember her. Not that well, but I remember her." The Alicorn walked on stage, and tapped the mic. It echoed loudly. "Put on some clothes!" A stagehoof said, so she went backstage. She looked through the costume boxes, got some blue fabric, and made a beautiful light-blue dress. She put it on and enchanted it to flow like a gentle wind was blowing, allowing ponies to see her hooves and flanks. She put blue eyeliner on her eyes, and gave one eye a blue tornado around it. She enchanted her mane to flow like Princess Celestia's, making it look like a clear midday blue sky on a windy day. A magic spell gave her hooves and body ocean-blue and gold lines, like Twilight and the others when they used Rainbow Power. She'd seen them in the newspapers, and she wanted to be beautiful like them. Finally, to make her unusual eyes more vibrant, she cast a spell to make them glow, just a little. She was done being afraid of her weird eyes. She was ready to be proud of who she was. She gasped as she looked in the mirror, and saw that in her star-shaped black pupils... smaller white stars started to shine. She looked at a bunch of guitars, and even though there were some amazing electric guitars, and one epic one with a flamethrower attached to it, she picked the simple wooden one. She went on stage and saw the crowd gasp... And she started to play and sing. The clear blue sky No clouds today, no stars tonight Just clear blue skies Flying free, feeling delight I have wings, but what good are they? My heart's weighed down with regrets The pain stabs my heart every day Pain I wish I could forget The light on the horizon Seemed brighter long ago If I don't keep on dreaming Then I will never know The clear blue sky No clouds today, no stars tonight Just clear blue skies Flying free, feeling delight Like stormy clouds eventually break I wish that I would not make The same mistake... I wish we could fly No one to judge, no one to hate We'd all fly so high Wouldn't it be great? In the clear blue sky Above the world we share In our clear blue sky Flying everywhere In the clear Blue Sky The crowd cheered for her and clapped, and one mare threw her clothes onstage. She threw them back in embarassment, and shyly smiled. "We love you, Sky!" Patty shouted as Pinkie cried and Rainbow Dash clapped. "That was beautiful, Sky." Twilight said. "Thank you." Sky said, starting to cry. "Thank you all!" "It's happening!" Patty yelled, forming talons of fire and grabbing her, to the Alicorn's surprise, and pulling her out of the stage and into the street, where she broke free of the grip with a stretch of her wings. She went back into the building to glare at Patty, who wet herself in fear. Sky noticed this, and... just stared at her, not knowing what to do. When she was done, the Alicorn left awkwardly. The crowd cheered anyway, to Patty's embarrassment, assuming this was also part of the show.
