"Although I think some of the other girls at our date found you...distracting." Allegro let out a chuckle. "I consider that a compliment. Because I only focused my attention on you." Venus blushed at hearing that. Then she turned her attention to Allegro's necklace. "That necklace of yours is beautiful." "Thanks. It's a...family heirloom. My brothers and I each have one." "C-could I try it on?" Allegro was completely shocked by her request! This girl had no idea that this was no mere piece of jewelry! It's what gave him and his brothers their magic and their singing voices! But after looking in her eyes, he relented. "I suppose." Allegro took off his necklace and put it around Venus's neck. He smiled when he saw it on her. "You do wear it quite well." "You know despite how flirty you are, you're pretty sweet when you want to be." Allegro was caught off-guard when Venus kissed him. "I wonder if you're quite the performer. Your name is Allegro after all." "Well, I do have a bit of experience serenading the ladies. But I'll be needing my necklace back for this performance." "Oh no. Let's see how you do without your lucky charm!", Venus said with a smirk. "It's not like this thing is the reason for your skills right?" 'Every rose DOES have its thorn!' "Alright. But be prepared for a trainwreck.", Allegro said with a nervous smile. "Although lonliness has always been a friend of mine. I'm leaving my life in your hands! People say I'm crazy and that I am blind. Risking it all in a glance. And how you got me blind is still a mystery. I can't get you out of my head! Don't care what is written in your history. As long as you're here with me! I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did. As long as you love me! Who you are. Where you're from. Don't care what you did. As long as love me!" Allegro braced himself for the sheer amount of fail headed his way. But to his surprise, Venus was in awe. "I am so keeping this recording! That was so beautiful!", Venus cheered. "Your name suits how beautiful your voice was. Oh! Here's your necklace back!" Allegro was shocked! As long as he could remember, his necklace had been the source of his magic and his voice! Why now, when he met this girl, did he not need it all of a sudden?! Then he remembered an old story back in Equestria. 'That old story couldn't be true! Could it?' "Actually, you keep it. I don't need it for luck. After all..." Allegro pulled in Venus for a tight hug. "now I have a number one fan. Hope you catch me at the music showcase this weekend. In specific tomorrow at CHS." "It's a date.", Venus said with a smile as she left. As he watched her leave, Allegro's heart was fluttering. "So this is what true love feels like.", he said with a smile. "It feels pretty good." Meanwhile, Arrow was enjoying his date with Moonlight. "You're like a puppy. I just can't get over how cute you are.", Arrow said with a smile. "Those ears really drive the point though." Moonlight blushed a little and smiled. "Well your last name matches the fire in your eyes. So does that gem on your necklace. It's really pretty!" "Thanks. My brothers have two just like it. They're kind of like family treasures." Arrow then had an idea. "Hold on for a minute." Arrow took off his necklace and put it on Moonlight. "I didn't think it was possible, but you wearing it makes you look cuter." Arrow then scratched one of Moonlight's ears. "Hehehehe! That tickles!" Moonlight then rested herself on his lap. "You're so comfy! I could take a nap on you right now!" Arrow blushed and tried to salvage his shock with a joke. "Want me to sing you to sleep too?" "Hmm. Yeah." Moonlight said before she kissed him. Arrow was nervous about needing his gem to sing, but decided it was too risky to take it off her now. Arrow began to sing, and was shocked to hear that his voice sounded better! 'Weird...but I'll take it.' Arrow then looked at Moonlight curling up her tail around her. ' Cosplay. Riiight.' Arrow smiled as she slept on him. Just enjoying her company. Serenade on the other hand was having the time of his life! "BEST. DAY. EVER!", he screamed as he dug into his ice cream. Snowstorm let out a giggle at how adorable Serenade was. "You certainly let the inner child out a lot.", she said with a smile. "I had a lot of fun today Serenade." "Aw! Thanks Snow!" Serenade pulled her into a tight hug. "That's very sweet of you. But I can't breathe!" "Whoops. Sorry about that!" Serenade smiled and stared at Snowstorm. "It was nice being with you. My brothers can be major grumps sometimes. So it's nice to see someone happy for a change." "I'd say the gem on your necklace suits your bright personality. Can I try it on?" "Allegro and Arrow would chew me out if they found out I let you try this on....but I don't see them around!" Serenade took off his necklace and Snowstorm put it around her neck. "Wow. It looks really nice on you!" "You're such a sweetheart." Snowstorm then kissed Serenade! "Wanna hit up a karaoke joint? I'm sure we can afford to make fools of ourselves before this date ends." "Sweet!" The two hit up the local karaoke joint and sang their hearts out! To his surprise, Serenade was pretty good despite the fact that he suddenly realized he wasn't wearing his necklace! 'Just keep going with it Serenade! Hopefully no one will notice!' The two of them finished their performance and bowed. "Huh. That went better than I thought." "Sure did! You killed it up there!", Snowstorm said with a smile. "Here's your necklace back. So when can I see you again?" "There's a music showcase tomorrow at CHS. You can catch me and my brothers there! See ya!" Serenade ran off in a good mood and met back up with his brothers to tell them the good news. "Guys! You won't believe what happened!" "You met a girl that's caught your interest and somehow you don't need your gem anymore.", Allegro stated. "How did you know?!" "The same thing happened to me and Arrow. Since we didn't need them anymore, we gave away ours as first date presents. Serenade? You okay? You're grinning more than usual." "Sweet! Then I can give mine to Snowstorm after we take the stage!" "We don't need to feed on negativity anymore, but isn't it only fair that we still let Metamorphosis have all that love?", Arrow asked. "Of course! After all it's not like we're going to be facing a band that will rival us!" Back with Burst and the others, Burst had just activated his dragon powers and pulled off an epic finale! "Wow! That's like ponying-up but ten times cooler!", Rainbow Blitz cheered! "You guys have this in the bag! The Bindings won't know what hit them!" "Also they can activate this power at anytime. Making it a lot more convenient.", Sunset Glare stated. "We're going to need all we've got for this battle." "Well then. Let's rock the dragon!", Burst shouted. "Okay. That is OFFICIALLY your catchphrase."
