//------------------------------// // Viva Las Pegasus // Story: Poetry Is Magic // by Peace Poet //------------------------------// Las Pegasus, the city full of chances Gambles, fame, riches, some have advances You have gangsters, and other violent groups That'll have your hoof, if they lose in the success troop But anyway, I came to see an old friend I known since childhood And she's popular in my old hood We met in the first grade Y'all might know her as Songbird Serenade That's her true name, along with Rara and Sapphire Shores All 3 sing like a heavenly choir singing a angelic chorus Sapphire Shores and Coloratura are my friends too But I met them before I met Applejack, true Moving on, Songbird invited me to her concert and a free backstage pass, it was a great worth Security guards knew me and welcomed me like a king That came to see a great friend of mine to sing One of the guards led me backstage Hearing fan colts and stallions jealous rage Then I saw the singing mare in her room, dancing on the rug She ran towards me with great speed, and gave me a tackle hug Hidden behind her two-tone bangs, were her beautiful blue eyes And her genuine smile, every time I see her, was not a disguise She closed the door, as I thanked her for inviting me In her own words, "Besides other ponies and creatures, you're another friendliest face I see" We talked about the good ol' days, like the schools in Manehattan Her charity concerts, my poetry sessions, everything good that happened Every album she made, she thanked me for the inspiration I told her, "And now you're inspiring everyone in every nation" Songbird is one of the favorites in Equestria Especially from former Princess Celestia Her song "Rainbows" was the biggest seller But there are more songs that are amazing story tellers We talked for about two to three hours But I had to get her dressing room, so she can bring up her performing power I was about to leave, as the guard told me "You can come back and watch her do her thing, you see" So I walked around Las Pegasus for about thirty Then I saw two things that are dirty The two ponies I saw made me think "damn" The two sales stallions, Flim and Flam They scammed me in Ponyville With a cart with no brakes, that almost killed me down the hill Speaking of kill, that's what I fell like doing to them But their lives were already grim As Starswirl the Bearded gave them both indefinite probation Working at the Las Pegasus Train Station As Flim sweeps, and Flam cleans Five officers gave them heavy surveillance, by any means Gladmane on the other hoof was doing maintenance At a casino, fixing slot machines, to improve his advance He doesn't get paid at a rich high So all he does is complain and cry That aside, I did eat me some lunch The new pastry recipe from Pinkie and Sugar Belle has successfully spread a bunch After I'm done, I head towards the MGM Grand Where Songbird sings along with her band I snuck backstage, even though I should've teleported One of the security guards had me gratefully escorted I see the band getting ready to play For the star that every pony and creature's been waiting for all day Songbird Serenade, her voice very angelic Her energy, like her dancers and fans, very energenic Then, she invited me on stage to dance I danced a step or two, with the crown and others advance As the song ends, she said to the crowd "Peace Poet, everypony!" and cheered out loud I waved at the crowd, and said my thank you's While other jealous stallions glare at me, and having violent view As I went backstage, two stallions come at me with anger Then one of the guards held one of them back like the Lone Ranger The other came at me, but with my martial art skills I knocked him out, while he lost some teeth from his grille Both stallions are taken by the police About an hour later, after the concert came to a cease The guards asked was I alright I told that I wasn't even breaking a sweat in that so-called fight Songbird came and hugged me with great worry She was panting, not just from performing, but with a rushing hurry Asked me and the guard were we OK He and both said, "Best thing we did all day" After that, we all had a concert after party Everypony in it sipping on Hennessy and Bacardi Since I don't drink, I kept myself safe But Songbird sat beside me with great faith She told me, as she moved her bangs from her eyes As the sparkle greatly like Luna's night skies "Thank you for coming to see me sing" Like I miss my friend doing her amazing thing It was getting late, I had to go back to the hotel Songbird kissed me on the cheek, like it was an angels love spell I kissed her cheek back, and then said good night Lit up my horn, since it's my only light Got back in my hotel room, collapsed on my bed Feeling the softest pillows behind my head Thinking about the night I had tonight Songbird's presence was definitely heavenly bright She does have a husband and daughter Husband Street Light, and daughter Glistening Water Later on, I'll get to see them again soon From my sleep, to the morning, and see them at noon Where were they from the concert, you asked Beside me backstage, dancing around, and having a blast As for the stallions that rushed to get me They doing community service for breaking probation, you see I spent a couple of days in the gambling, entertaining town I enjoyed it, and did not have a frown Whatever happens in Las Pegasus. stays in Las Pegasus In the King of Rock 'N Roll's chorus, "Viva, Viva Las Pegasus.
