"The artist knew her work well.
Every note was perfectly placed, and for the piece being played not a single technical mistake existed…but there was no feeling to it, no artist's fire."

" It had seemed a great idea at first, to send a hoof full of Equestria's most curious ponies into deep space and see what happens."

It wasn't a good idea and now...

"The only semblance of company left was memory and the echo of her strings."

When Starlight agreed to move to Ponyville, she thought it would just be magic and all that.

The two hit it off and Starlight confuses herself when she gets angrily defensive of the mare and her feelings she's never felt for anypony before.

This story is a sequel to Changing Cherries

Cherry's spontaneous night changes make her, in many ponies' eyes, a changeling-like freak. But one night, an innocent dream turns into a nightmare that leaves her no place to hide. (Unfortunately, an unauthorized sequel to a story by Shaslan; I wrote this sequel for complicated reasons, but I don't promise that my reasons were necessarily any good.)

It turns out that Shaslan is working on at least one more chapter to Changing Cherries. So you could go read that story instead of this one?

I have edited this title, description, etc., and moved the original texts of those to the Author's Notes. I wrote that stuff hastily while in a bad mood. In fact, I wrote and posted this story hastily while in a bad mood. Are you sure you don't want to go read something else instead?
