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


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?..."

short but not bad.
hope the story goes on in chapter 3 hehe

Hmmmm.....this could honestly use an editor, and as a suggestion I would say to put P.O.V which stands for point of view so as to not get the ponies speaking confused, otherwise people may not know who is speaking, though guessing from the title, they will now:rainbowlaugh: Not bad at all, a few brushes to make sure everything is clean and you got as well written, well detailed story, I shall read on:twilightsmile:

You NEED to get a proofreader/editor to fix the grammar errors in this story, it gets kind of distracting at some points.

But the story seems to be really interesting so far and you appear to have a knack for detail so I'll def be fav'ing this one. :twilightsmile:

2872505 i'm dumb and stupid. i suck at grammar and spelling. I also have no talent in writing, i don't know where the punctuation should go and i'm still an amateur , that's how. But even so i write, i write not for me, i write for people. I write to share a story and hopefully, just hopefully making them smile the way i do when i read. So i'm sorry and thanks for being honest.

it is an intresting story, I rather like how the town and places seem to be centered on music. The two do seem to be a bit more carefree and I like that.
Working on your pacing, and back ground details would help pull the reader deeper into the story. I am not one to say anything about grammer or spelling, I suck at it pretty badly myself.
