//------------------------------// // Chapter 20: Entertaining The King // Story: Argonian My Dream // by mitchboy //------------------------------// The six of us rushed right straight to the place, only to stop when we notice that there was a sign on it that says "No Changelings Allowed". Wow, they must not take kindly to this. I remember that Princess Luna told me that Argonians resides there, so which means I could probably see them. "It's not fair!" I look over to Thorax who was upset at the sign he's reading. "Changelings are not welcome to Black Marsh? It's just not fair." "Aww, don't be sad. I'm sure this a fake sign," Gabby said, trying to cheer him. "Yeah, maybe they forgot about your kind." Double chimes in by patting him on the back. Thorax only scoffs. "I doubt it. Now I'll never see the inside of this place." I really felt bad for him. Thorax looks sad when he isn't welcome here. I guess Thorax doesn't get to go....or does he. I made a sly smile. "Thorax, what's wrong?" I ask him, making Thorax turn to face me. "I can't enter this place," Thorax replied with a sad tune. This didn't phase me at all. "You know, you could transform into somepony your not. Think about it, when you transform, no one will notice who you really are." Flash steps up to us. "For once I agree. It maybe a risky shot, but you should transform into somepony else." "Yeah, that's a good idea," said Saffron. "You really think it will work?" Thorax ask, feeling less sad and more concern. Double nod to his answer. "Yeah dude, you should really turn into somepony." "I always wanted to see a changeling transform. Even though I hardly know one," Gabby pipes up as she flies up to Thorax with excitement in her face. Thorax thinks about this for a second until he made his choice. "Okay, let's see who I can turn into." With that, green flames circle around him and then vanishes. What we are looking at was Thorax taking the form of a white unicorn stallion with purple mane and tail, orange eyes and a cutie mark that looks like grandfather clock. Thorax was now a stallion. He looks over to us and ask. "Will this do?" We look at each other, then back him to give him a nod. "So, what should we call you?" I ask him. Thorax looks at his 'cutie mark' before a smile came into mind. "Call me, Tick-Tock." Tick-Tock? Not the best name, but will do. Saffron, Double, Flash and Gabby didn't say anything until I spoke. "Okay Thorax, Tick-Tock it is." The rest of them all agree by muddering in approve. Thorax felt happy about. We then continued our journey to Black Marsh and once we entered, something was really weird and unexpected. This place is populated with undead ponies, undead griffins, undead diamond dogs, ghost ponies, ghost griffin, ghost diamond dogs, skeleton ponies, skeleton griffins, skeleton diamond dogs, vampire ponies, vampire griffins, vampire diamond dogs and argonains. This place is like the pony version of The Nightmare Before Christmas. What the hell? Princess Luna didn't tell about this (Except the part about argonains living here). We were speechless from when we saw this. But on the plus side, we could also see that most of them were not as scary as I thought. They seem really happy to us. "This is really creepy yet unexpected," said Saffron, feeling a little unease. "You're telling me, Saffron. I did not expected this," I said, agreeing with her. "We all didn't expected this," Flash said, correcting me. "This place is filled with monsters. Can this get anymore weirder?" As if on cue, someone was shouting at the top of his lungs. "The King is Coming! The King is Coming!" Everyone started to stop what they are doing and they all bowed. I don't know what they were bowing for until Thorax said something. "Guys, I think that guy being by a chariot is the king." We look at were he was pointing at, we saw what was a chariot made out of gold. It was being carried by two skeleton ponies and on each side were two zombie griffins holding spears and have mean looks in their eyes. If I didn't know any better, I say that this king sure knows is protection. The chariot stops when it went right in front of us, making the two zombie griffins walk forward and pointed their spears at us. "Hey, why are you six bowing to the king and in the way?" Ask the one on the left. "Yeah, don't you know yo-" the other one on the right stops himself and looks at me, Double Diamond, Thorax, Saffron, Gabby and Flash Sentry. He lets out a studdered trying to speak until the zombie griffin on the left looks at funny. "What's wrong?" "Look. All six of them." "What about them?" "A griffin and four ponies are alive and that argonian is with them." The left zombie griffin looks at us closely and gasp. "You're right. Those five are alive and that lizard just invited them over." "What do we do?" Ask the zombie griffin on his right. We didn't say anything since we had no idea what the hell is going on. The zombie griffin on the left ponders this situation before he turns to his friend. "We must inform the king. Maybe he can deal those living being." "But what about the argonain?" He ask him a worried question. "We inform the king about that too." They both nodded in agreement before they turn to face us and giving us a glare. "You six will stay here and not move a single body or a mouth? If you do those things, you all will die by our king. Got it!?" We only nodded. "Good. Now, stay here and don't do anything, say anything or touch anything." The two of them walks over to the chariot as the right zombie griffin knocks on the door. We then here a male voice that sounded like it has British accent. "I say, who dares to knock on the door of my chariot while am sleeping?" "Sorry, to wake you, your majesty. But we got an argonain with four living ponies and a living griffin." "What?!" "It's true and you should see it for yourself." "Ugh, very well." The chariot door opens and we see nothing come out until we spotted a ghostly out figure floating towards us. The ghostly white figure began to take shape of a earth pony with regal mane and red eyes and was wearing a gold and red regalia as well as a white cape which almost blends in to his backside. This thing was starting to scare us a bit when he looks at us, but Thorax was shaking in fear that it looks like he was about to change back. Double manages to calm him to make sure he doesn't revert back. The King looks at us with a mixture of disgust and interest. I step up to him to speak. "Hello, your majesty. I'm Razor the argonain." The King let's out a huff when he speaks. "I am King Fantasma. The King of Black Marsh," He then looks at my friends who were not feeling scared but rather feeling worried with him. "And who are these living things, my dear boy?" I had a feeling were this was heading so I figure I come up with a team name just so he will know who we are. but first, I have to tell King Fantasma their names. "This is Thorax, Flash Sentry, Gabby, Double Diamond and Saffron. Together we are The Unique Ones!" This got all of them wide eyed when I tell him the team name. I look at them and just shrug. "What? It's either that or N'sync," I'm so glad I didn't call my team that name. King Fantasma however, looks pleased with that name. "I see, well it's pleasure to meet you all, Unique Ones!." "He-He-Hello, Ki-King Fantasma." "It is an honor to meet you, your grace." "Hi, King. I mean, greetings, King Fantasma." "We come in piece." "We didn't mean to enter your village without permission." "Then prey tell, why are you six here in my village then? Don't you know that this place is only for undeads only?" He stated while folding his arms with stern look. I guess it makes sense since the only living being here besides argonains are my friends. I don't see a living soul here. The zombie griffins pointed their spears at us with threats look. "The King ask you a question. If you don't answer now, you six will die." "If by die you mean come back to life as in either a skeleton, ghost, zombie or a vampire right?" I ask, trying to be calm and collected. The zombie griffin on the left shook his head. "No, we mean like dead-dead. You have to be born as any of those guys." I drop my calmness from that. 'You have got to be kidding?' "Please answer my question at once," He may not sound impatient but judging by that tone, King Fantasma was on the edge of it. I clear my throat to answer. "The reason why we are here is because we need your help." King Fantasma raised a eye brow. "And why do you need my help?" Flash steps forward to speak for me. "Because Queen Chrysalis starting an invasion and we need you and your soldiers to join the fight, King Fantasma." The ghost earth pony King stayed silent for a moment then, he burst out laughing. "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Oh that's rich. I say, what makes you all think I'd be helping you out?" We didn't expected this from him. He was laughing at the answer Flash gave. "We really need you to bring your men to fight the changelings. We can't fight her and her army by ourselves," Thorax said. King Fantasma laugh even harder. "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! You all really think that I would join you and have my army fight Queen Chrysails and her changelings, right? Well, I'm not." Was he serious? "Why not?" "In case you didn't know, I will not join your fight and neither will my army. We are meant to live a peaceful life here in Black Marsh," King Fantasma replied with a scoff. "Then why do you have your two zombie griffins with you?" I ask, pointing to the two of them behind him. King Fantasma looks at them and then back to me with a replied. "Those two are my body guards. I need them for protection." "What about your soldiers?" Double ask. "They are known to protect not fight, but they are known to up hold the law," King Fantasma replied with his arms folded. So even though they are soldiers, they have to follow the laws of Black Marsh and must protect this village. I look at King Fatasma with a pleading look by getting on knees and beg. "Please, please. Join us. If you don't Queen Chrysails will destroy everything, including you." "Sorry, but the answer is still no. Now, would you all be so kind as to leave this place before I have my guards do it for you. I must continue my chariot ride through my village," Just as he was about to leave, Gabby flies over him and lands between him and his chariot. The zombie griffin on the right pointing his spear at her, believing that she's gonna hurt him ( even though he's a ghost ). We were about to stop this, but the zombie griffin on the left turn and pointed his spear at us. "Don't even think about it," he said nearly jabbing it to my neck. King Fantasma glares at her. "Move away, griffin, I don't have time for this nonsense." She held her talon to stop him and then spoke. "What if we do something to change your mind?" King Fantasma looks at her curiously. "Come again?" Even we were giving her that same look. "Gabby, where are you going with this?" I ask her, but she didn't hear me. She continues to speak. "If we do something to make you change your mind, will you and your soldiers join us to fight Queen Chrysails and her changelings?" King Fantasma rubs his chin to ponder this kind of deal she was making. He gives her a smirk on the face. "Can you and any of your friends sing?" That was unexpected. He's asking that question? She nodded. "Yeah, even Razor can sing. Why?" "Well, I just so happen to be a fan of singing and I love it when my subjects sings randomly from time to time. If you and The Unique Ones can impress me with your singing voices, I might have my army join you as well as me." King Fantasma was being generous for this. He's really giving us an offer to sing for him and might give us a chance to have him and his army to join us. "I think that's a great idea," I chimed in. "So when do want us to sing?" "Right now," he replied. Wait, wait,wait? Now? "Did you say now?" I ask him, making sure I was hearing it right. He nods "Yes, now. Do you have a problem with that?" I shook my head. "No. But what happens if our singing isn't good enough?" "Then, I will decline your help and must ask you six to leave and never ever return," King Fantasma was giving me a cold hard look when he answer that. "So, will you sing for me? The Unique Ones?" Well, I guess we had no choice but to impress the King with our singing. I just hope that the others are good singers. I turn to my friends. "So, what do say guys?" "I be lying if I say, I hate singing." "I can't let royalty down, no matter if they are alive or dead." "I don't mind singing." "Dude, I'll sing just for the fun of it." "I love cooking but I also love to give it a try." Well, I guess they wanted to sing, which means we will sing for him. I turn around to face King Fantasma with a determine expression. "Your majesty, me and The Unique Ones will sing for you." He smiles at my replied. "Wonderful. You two, watch my chariot. We are going to the Kareoke Bar." The two zombie griffins saluted to him as they both stayed between the chariot. King Fantasma then motions us to follow him when he floated over to the right and we were heading straight to the tavern. If this place has a Kareoke here, this should be no problem. I just hope he will accepts our singing. Or better yet, I just hope half us are good singers. I really need his and his soldiers help on this. ----------------------------------------------------- We arrive at a kareoke Bar called "Hoof and Mouth Deceased." Kinda weird name for a bar if you ask me. "Here we are. The Hoof and Mouth Deceased," Said King Fantasma, showing us the building we are heading to. "So, this is the place we get to sing for you?" Saffron ask. "Most definitely. Now, come along, I want your voices to be heard." King Fantasma heads to the entrance of the bar and so did we. When we entered Hoof and Mouth Deceased, all the bar patrons and the barkeep stop what they were doing as they turn to face us. They then look at King Fantasma and bowed to him, much to his satisfaction. "Dude, I think they're looking at us funny," Double whispers to me in a uncomfortable way. "You think, Double?" I whisper back at him, trying not to yell. we heard King Fantasma calling us by our team name and showed us around seat that has seven chairs. I motions us to come over here and we did. However, as we walk, Me and my friends can hear them talking about us from their backs in a low whisper. "Why is that argonain with them?" "Does he even know that the living aren't welcome here?" "They look gross." "Why did he bring them here?" "He's betrayed his own kind here?" Oh my god, and I thought The X-men were treated poorly. We sat at the table and a barkeep likely a skeleton diamond dog walks up to us with an anger glare. "Hey, you better get rid of these living things out of my bar or I'll kick you and your ugly friends out." Flash stands up to say something, but King Fantasma puts his ghostly hoof on his shoulder to set him down before glaring at the barkeep. "Now see here, these living beings are called The Unique Ones and they are here to sing for my amusement." Everyone stops what they were doing again as all I eyes were towards him now. The barkeep was stunned by this. His jaws literally drops to the floor and then picks it up to fix it. "You want them to sing here? Are you out of your mind, your majesty?" "Who dare speak to me in such manner?" he ask as his ghostly skin went from white to dark grey. I hate to see what happens if he says something to far. The barkeep shook his head and stuttered. "N-N-No. I didn't mean it. It's just th-" King Fantasma cuts him off by putting his ghostly hoof on his boney mouth. "I don't want to hear. Now, is the stage open?" The barkeep nods. "Excellent, then I want you get it started at once." I gave him a smirk. "You sure know how to control them." He only scoffs. "Oh please, he should be grateful that I didn't send him to the dungeon." 'Note to self: Never ever get on his bad side' I made a mental note on that. King Fantasma maybe a British accent ghost pony, but he is no pushover. The barkeep nods and gets on the stage to grab the microphone. He taps it which makes everyone stop and turn to face him. He clears his throat. "Hello, everyone, can you all head to your seats please? Thank you." They all did well, some of them were already at their seats as they look at the barkeep and waited for him to say something else. "Now, it's time for Karaoke time, but first let me introduce who to the uh..." He looks at me with questionable look. "What are you called?" "The Unique Ones." I told him. He went back to talking to the crowd. "The Unique Ones." No one cheered or applause to use. That gave us a cold hard glare at us like they want to beat us up. Thorax was shaking. "I'm scared." "Everything will be okay," Saffron puts her hooves around him to make him feel comfortable. "The Unique Ones are here to sing by order of King Fantasma," he told them which all of them moan at that. "SILIENCE!" He shouted making everyone stop complaining and for King Fantasma to calm down and looks at the barkeep. "Continue." He did so and cleared his throat. "Yes, well, they will sing a song for the King for his amusement. Remember, our King loves it when we all sing, but this time we should let these living freaks sing for him." They didn't cheered again only mumbling about us again. presumably how much they hated us. "Now, first up is that grey griffin sitting next to King Fantasma, so come up here and show us what you got." Gabby gasp at that announcement and flies up to the stage and lands down here. "I am gonna sing a song that always makes me feel happy and never let's me if down in the dumps. I hope you all like it." "This should be good," he said, already feeling like he's gonna enjoy this. Please, please, please, don't make him refuse. Gabby grabs a microphone. When the music plays she started to sing. Can't seem to get my mind off of you Back here at home there's nothin' to do Now that I'm away I wish I'd stayed Tomorrow's a day of mine That you won't be in When you looked at me, I should've run But I thought it was just for fun I see I was wrong And I'm not so strong I should've known all along That time would tell A week without you Thought I'd forget Two weeks without you and I Still haven't gotten over you yet Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone My jaws were stunned. I don't know how, but I guess they have this kind of music here in Equestria. A week without you Thought I'd forget Two weeks without you and I Still haven't gotten over you yet Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone Gabby was a good singer I'll give her that. Hell, the barkeep and the costumers seems to be liking it. Maybe she should be a Pop star. Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone When the song ends Gabby left the stage as everypony cheers for her. Gabby herself was excited to be performing on stage for the first time. "Did you see that? I sang and everypony likes!" She said, all cheery. "You were great," Saffron said. "No argument here," I said. I turn to King Fantasma. "So, did you like her song?" He only nods with smiling. "Not bad, but this is only the beginning." The barkeep grabs the mike and spoke into it. "Wasn't she something? Next up, is a pony who goes by the name uh...name?" He ask Thorax who was still in pony form. Thorax replied. "I'm Tick Tock." The barkeep nods to that confirmed that name. "Tick Tock, please step to the stage and singing." He gulped when he was being called. "Well, he-here goes nothing." I can tell Thorax is too nervous to sing, but he looks like he has to if he want King Fantasma to be impressed. Thorax nervously walks up the stage and grabs the mike with his magic. He taps it a few times to make sure the feedback was okay. I just really hope he doesn't chicken out when the song started. "Okay, Thorax. You can do this. Just sing and don't be nervous," He said to himself. The next song began to play when a guitar that was played be a zombie griffin begin in a slow yet mellow tune. Oh life, it's bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh on, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream I can't tell if he's crying or sweating judging by that leak in his eyes. He somehow manage to regain himself before singing. That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try That was just a dream Just a dream, dream Thorax was done singing and quickly left the stage, no doubt wanted to head back to the table to sit next to me. I guess he couldn't handle it that long despite being cheered by the crowd. "You were great, Thorax," I told him, reassuring him. Thorax smiles weakly at this. "Thank you, Razor. I'm just glad to not sing twice." "I like it....in a unexpected kind of way," King Fantasma only shrugs as if he doesn't care about it all. But then again, he was enjoying it. We then hear the Barkeep speak into the microphone. "Folks, Thorax was a good singer, but now it's time for a duet. So the two singers that are gonna sing are Gabby and the orange unicorn pony." "My name is Saffron," she said annoyed. The barkeep was blushing for calling her that and try's it again. "Sorry, I mean Saffron." "Come on, Saffron. Let's sing together," Gabby and Saffron both walk up on stage to grab the microphones and the music has started as if they knew what song they were gonna sing. ( Doki doki we will be, when your heart beats next to me Underneath the moon, love will set us free ) The music began to get louder as everypony was enjoying this already. I can feel your heartbeat, baby, all the time It echos like a koto playing in my mind I want you near me each and every day With you, I know our love will always find a way When I see you smiling, baby You give me butterflies, you can be my samurai So glad to be your lady Could it be forever true, all I think about is you Doki doki, follow me, it's enchanting like a dream Forever and a night, baby you and me Doki doki, we will be, when your heart beats next to me Underneath the moon, love will set us free (whoa-oh-oh-oh) This song was pretty nice. I actually like it and I'm not the only who loves it, because Thorax, Flash, Double and all the other bar patrons were dancing to this beat. It was then Gabby's turn to sing the next verse. When we walk together and you're by my side I know that I am yours and, baby, you are mine I get so excited 'bout the things you say Feeling like I am the luckiest girl today When I see you smiling, baby You give me butterflies, you can be my samurai So glad to be your lady Could it be forever true, all I think about is you Doki doki, follow me, it's enchanting like a dream Forever and a night, baby you and me Doki doki, we will be, when your heart beats next to me Underneath the moon, love will set us free (whoa-oh-oh-oh) These two are great when they sing together and that was no joke. Saffron grabs a glass of water from the barkeep, while Gabby was bopping her head to the beat before the two of them resume singing. When I see you smiling, baby You give me butterflies, you can be my samurai So glad to be your lady Could it be forever true, all I think about is you Doki doki follow me, it's enchanting like a dream Forever and a night, baby you and me Doki doki we will be, when your heart beats next to me Underneath the moon, love will set us free (whoa-oh-oh-oh) Both Gabby and Saffron gave each a hug before bowing to the crowd that was cheering them for their duet. They both left the stage and sat back down to talk about how amazing each other was. "Wow, Saffron you were amazing," Gabby said with that enthusiasm. Saffron only blush a bit at that. "You are too kind, Gabby." We all give them a cheer. "That was awesome, girls." "You were wonderful." "I guess you two were great when singing together." "Gabby and Saffron, you both wowed the whole bar." He then hear King Fantasma clears his throat. "I believe the barkeep is about to introduce another singer." Indeed he was when he got the mike and spoke into it. "Those girls were fantastic, huh guys? Now, we go back to a single singer and this next one is.....name?" Flash Sentry knew he was looking at him and stood up to address the Barkeep. "Flash Sentry. Lieutenant of the Crystal Empire." The Barkeep gives him a blank stare before regaining his composure to say something. "Right, Ladies and Gentlemen, Flash Sentry. Flash Sentry enters the stage and takes the mike. He didn't say anything until the music began with a guitar riff. (Author's Note: This song is seven minutes long so I will not put lyrics for Flash Sentry. If you wanna listen to the song, click the link above it. Thank you for your understanding ) When the song was done everypony including myself applause at his amazing song. He saluted without saying a word and headed back to us. "He seems to have a voice of a warrior," King Fantasma commits on his performance. "No kidding. I never knew he was a great singer," I said, still confused and amazed by that song he sang. The Barkeep walks back to the stage and grabs the microphone to say something. "That pony should be a rockstar," That got a few laughs from the crowd, including us. "Next up is a white pony name uh....." Double rolls his eyes and helps him say his name. "Double Diamond, dude." "Oh yeah, Double Diamond, folks." The barkeep puts the mike down and leaves the stage so Double can get on it. It was Double Diamonds turn as he steps up the stage to grab the mike. Once he did that, a song was starting to played by the sound of a drumbeat. She says she's no good With words but I'm worse Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantically stuck to my tongue Weighed down with words too Over-dramatic Tonight it's "it can't get much worse" Versus "no one should ever feel like" I'm two quarters and a hear down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by Dance, dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love if they knew How misery love me I'm guessing that this is Fall Out Boy since I listen them before I came here. But, I wonder why he's singing that song? You always fold just Before you're found out Drink up, it's last call, last resort But only the first mistake and I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress, love Dance, dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love if they knew How misery loved me This song must sound like he's just afraid to talk Mares. Maybe I can give him a helping dating tip if he needs it when he's done. But, then again, maybe someone should do it. I just don't thing this is the time or the place. Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress ) I only want sympathy in the form of you Crawling into bed with me Dance, dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love (way they'd love) Dance, this is the way they'd love (way they'd love) Dance, this is the way they'd love if they knew How misery loved me I can tell that Double was almost done as he prepares to sing the last verse Dance, dance Dance, dance Dance, dance Dance, dance Double did a backflip much to the crowds amazement and left the stage as they cheer for him. "Double, what was that all about?" Saffron ask, a little concern about the song he sang. "It's a song about my life at the dance when I was trying to impress a girl I like," he replied. So, he was singing a song about he knew from the dance. That's very thoughtful and sweet. I turn to King Fantasma who looks really impressed by this. "I must say, that song you sang is indeed quite nice but let's see what Razor can do when he enters the stage," he said with smug look he was giving me. I was about to argue, only to hear the Barkeep say something into the microphone. "It's now time for the last singer. I will not say his name, so maybe he should step up to the stage and say it and tell us what song he will sing." The Barkeep wants me to go on stage and tell everyone who I am? Well, I'll give it a shot. I got up from the table as my friends cheers me on. "Go get'em, Razor." "You got this." "Make us proud." "Will root for you." "Failure is not an option." when I step up to the stage to grab the microphone to speak. "Hi, My name is Razor and I am gonna sing a song about somepony I really love," This makes the crowd and my friends go 'awww' when I told them that. I then started to sing as the music plays in romantic tune. No, doubt this will be the perfect love song for you-know-who. There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea, You became the light on the dark side of me Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill But did you know, that when it snows, My eyes become large, and the light that you shine can't be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray, Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom, A light hits the gloom on the gray I wish Luna was here to hear me sing. She would be enjoying it. I took a deep breath before I sing again. There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain Baby, to me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? But did you know that when it snows, My eyes become large, and the light that you shine can't be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray, Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom, A light hits the gloom on the gray The music was a best choice in my opinion as I can see that half the customers here were trying to not cry, while the other half was crying. I think I hear a diamond dog howling in sorrow. I look at the others and I can see that Gabby, Saffron and Thorax were crying while Flash and Diamond stayed strong and tried not to sob. I then started singing again. I've been kissed by a rose on the gray I'm kissed by a rose on the gray I've been kissed by a rose on the gray Baby, the stranger it feels, yeah I've been kissed by a rose on the gray And if I should fall, would it all go away? I've been kissed by a rose on the gray Baby, I've been kissed by a rose on the gray There is so much a man can tell you So much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain To me you're like a grown addiction that I Can't deny Now won't you tell me, is that healthy, Baby? But did you know That when it snows My eyes become large And the light that you shine can't be seen Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey I look around and I can see that they are all still crying. It was time to finish this. Now that your rose is in bloom, A light hits the gloom on the gray After my song was done, I can see that they all stop crying to regain their compose quickly and were some stomping from undead and ghosts pony hooves while some ghost and undead griffins and diamond dogs were clapping along with several argonains cheering for me.. It seems the song I sang was the best one there is. I'm also impressed that they all quickly stop crying after that. I walk back to the others and I can still see that Gabby and Saffron were trying to stop crying while Thorax was sniffing a bit after that song. "That was the most beautifuliset song ever!" Gabby said before crying on to Flash's shoulder. "You were amazing for a lizard," Flash said, giving me a salute. "That song really blew my mind, Razor," Double said with grin in his face. "I am a born singer," I said, before turning to King Fantasma. "So, we sang. Does that mean you and your army can join us?" He only started crying before nodding at me to that answer. The song must've really made him cry. I had no idea ghosts can cry. But, it was official, King Fantasma and his soldier are joining us to fight Queen Chrysails and her Changelings.
