    It’s once again time for Ponyville’s annual school performance. This year, it’s a musical retelling of a story about what it means to be a hero. With curtains only minutes away from rising, each student is finding their own way to deal with the pressures of being on stage. Some have no fear at all, while others are just hoping to get the night over with. A few even distract themselves by pretending the audience is doing something silly. Then, there's Apple Bloom, who imagines everything happening on stage is real, regardless if it makes sense or not.

    I don't understand why more people aren't reading this story. It's great!

    I hope you continue to write at this kind of level.

    20 thumbs up and 189 views? Seriously? This story is woefully under-appreciated.

    Thanks for your comment. It's good to know people are still reading and enjoying this story despite it's age.

    Part of the reason for so little views is that the story was originally in a Google doc when it was sent in to EQD, so all the initial traffic went there.

    Is it bad that I somehow managed to get the "tune" for a song for which only the lyrics actually exist stuck in my head? Because the "A Wonderful Day" reprise is stuck in my head now ._.;

    This story is great fun - both the inner play and the stage production bits. Good job!

    “Why won’t anypony save my cat!” a filly yelled from outside the inn.

    Damn it, Stone Knight, you're useless!

    Hello again. I still remember the review you gave this story. Thank you for introducing me to the wonders that is the em dash.

    Very cute and awesome story. I characters were great and blending the real stuff added a lot. It feels a bit cut off that there's no final scene showing them celebrating with the audience or packing up and discussing their feelings and DT getting told off by Cheerilee. You could have had AB come and defend her which would've been a nice bookend. Still a good fic despite the abrupt ending :pinkiesmile:

    I've heard a few times now that the ending seemed to come too soon. I'll have to look into adding one final scene after the curtains close to tie off a couple of the loose ends.

    It took awhile, but I finally found time to write out the new ending. The B plot gets a better wrap up, and it should hopefully seem less abrupt when it does end.
