Amazing job from one starting writer to the next

Wow, thanks for the feedback, Dragon Eye!

This is the very first story that I've tried to put together with some kind of logical order, so this means a lot to me (at least in writing fiction)

I'll try to get the second chapter as quickly as possible

Once again, thank you!

HOKAY. Let's get this started.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR LAST EPISODE (the mane event), so go and watch that and come back. Please, it's for your own good
After Coloratura's concert at Ponyville and all the events before the presentation of Rara, she feels like she needs to clear some things off her head.Hm, no Coloratura tag... should have seen that coming

This story is published as it first saw the light of night, as I'm only finishing it now (1:40~1:45 am) so, if you want to see some errors and all of that, please tell any and every one of them so I can decide how to deal with them.
Also, if you dislike amateur, first-story mistakes, I highly discourage you from this one because... Well, you know, it's my first one

First problem: Unless you are deliberately playing with the fourth wall, you don't want to soeak to the audience directly too much, not even in the description. The parts in orange are flat out unnecessary. The bolded part could be shortened to "Spoilers for The Mane Event." Which leaves the core description--okay, but could be expanded and clarified as to where it happens in the timeline. You also misspelled Major, which is only mildly annoying, but you don't want misspellings on your description: It leaves the impression that the inside will be even worse.

“AJ, wait me up!”

The usual expression is either "wait up" or "wait up for me." "Wait me up" could be passed off as popstar personality tics, but without any sort of prep or explanation this feels out of place.

Applejack looked behind to see Coloratura trotting towards her.

“Hey, Rara! What’s up?” she asked with a bright smile.

One: Could be one paragraph, since it's the same character doing things. Two: that she is there for flow, don't forget it.

Most of the other problems are just capitalization and missing punctuation. But these two, right at the beginning, highlight how the flow of the piece is somewhat broken. There should be an ebb back and forth between the characters, not a metronome since that's too regular, but a narrative focus. Still... your story is pretty good.

Great start so far. I can't wait to read more about Applejack and Rara's relationship.

I'll continue reading for now in hope's of seeing you improve.

Yes it's strange that I like to see the possess of an author getting better, from new to better than new (helps when I like the subject being written)

Oh my God Yes I love this
