//------------------------------// // Mini Chapter 1 // Story: Harmonic Gift From The Stars // by DTavs exe //------------------------------// It was early in the afternoon, outside it was raining cats and dogs, melancholy filled the heart of everypony in town as usual of a rainy day, no foals playing outside, stores closed since there won’t be anypony out buying in the rain, they knew that rain was life and  were thankful for its existence, they just couldn’t help but feel down whenever the rain poured on their roofs and windows. Inside the Castle of Friendship, the mane 6 plus Spike and Starlight were preparing to listen to another song from the music box, they were chatting among themselves meanwhile Twilight made sure everything was ready. “Rainbow, the weather team really made a number with this here rain, if Ah didn’t know y’all Ah would’ve thought that y’all want to wash Ponyville from the face of Equestria,” Applejack joked about the severity of the rain. “I know, but there is nothing much I can do about it, I’m no longer the weather manager here, just a consultant, but I made sure that they won’t overdo with the rain,” “Ok, everything is ready,” said Twilight after adjusting her recording equipment and spell, “so now that everyone had a turn how do we decide who’s next pressing the button?” “How about we draw straws? It’s simple and to the point, whoever draws a straw won’t do it next week,” Starlight suggested and everyone agreed, Twilight pulled some tin straws and everyone picked one, the winner was Rarity. “Oh, I get to pick the song, I hope is a nice one,” She pressed the button and a calm bittersweet tune played. “Dear me, that does sound beautiful and is perfect for the mood on this rain,” Rarity said enjoying the tune. “It kinda sounds like something that would come from a… well a music box, but you know the ones that you need to wind up,” Starlight mentioned “I like it, it’s relaxing.” “Yes it is, oh it changed, it seems that the actual song will start,” Twilight replied. “Yeah it’s cute and all but, where are the lyrics?” Rainbow asked getting a little impatient. “Calm down darling, not all songs have to have lyrics, this one seems to be instrumental.” “Is it just me, or this song gives sad vibes?” Asked Spike putting his claws on his chest. “I feel it too, but not a bad sadness, I can’t even describe it, is like I’m sad but I know that things will get better,” Fluttershy said her friends seemed to agreed even if they remained silent. “Pinkie, you have been pretty quiet the entire song, is there something wrong?” Twilight asked her hyperactive friend. “I’m good, I just don’t feel like making a joke, not right now, I just feel like it wouldn’t be correct, I love the song though, it makes me feel all warm inside, kinda makes me want to hug my family right now,” “Me too, but I guess hugging all of you would be just as good, so… group hug?” Rainbow said a little embarrassed, everypony agreed and hugged, there they stayed just enjoying the warmth of each other and the sound of the rain outside, all the world didn’t matter at the time, only they and the love they feel for each other, everything was calm.
