//------------------------------// // Fuga (Allegro) The morning rises in G Minor // Story: Andante - The path of the dreams // by CaioCoia //------------------------------// As the night finally showed the glimpse of climax, the princess of the night let out a sigh of tiredness after witnessing the morning rise from somepony near to her, a mare who sowed a lovely smile and a bowl of fruits waiting for her. "Good morning Luna." The cheerful mare who seemed to have rested well gave a smile as the tired sister gave a tiny smile in return. "Good morning Tia." The response sounded weak and tired, but another good accomplishment from the night. Looking at the bowl in front of her, she heard the banana calling her name, and she decided to eat the banana peel, leaving the inside of the fruit over the bowl. "Thanks for the breakfast." "Anytime sister." Celestia as she watched her sister curious about eating the banana peal instead of the banana itself always amuses her. But ignoring her amusement she decided to have a talk. "Can you tell me how the work went my dear sister?" Luna after gulping the peel sighed in disappointment. Making her sister look at her knowing something wasn't right. "I went on Spike's dream last night, and try to make him knows the wrongs he did with princess Twilight yesterday," Luna said as her own sister raised her eyebrow and looked sternly at her own sister, but before she said something Luna continued. "And I discovered he was the victim in question, Princess Twilight and Rarity became a couple on his behind, and he knew that I have a suspicion about it." "Did he fight with you?" Princess Celestia asked coldly, but after seeing her sister shook her head, made her calm herself, and then proceed to give the letter to her sister. "Luna, you know I love you...but what you did was too harsh and unforgivable, you could've asked me first before doing something harsh like that. We as princesses must know both sides of points before making such accusations, and I'm really glad that Spike didn't fight you... because he was already having a Tartarus for a day, and having a bad dream would make his morning even worse, and you know that..." As the night princess looked at the letter created by the little dragon, she discovered she had indeed made a harsh decision that night, but thankfully Spike composed himself, even after his outburst. Luna lowered her head as she remembered everything Spike told her, that night Spike needed a friend to vent his mind. "I understand sister, Spike was indeed a good drake." Princess Luna remained in silence as she looked at her own sister who seemed satisfied with the conclusion. "At the moment Spike sent me the letter, I knew he was speaking the truth, even at the beginning I was offering this idea when he was 3 years old, it was because I wanted to spark the interest at the little drake... Even after his enormous talent, I knew it was heartbroken for him to refute the offer after he was 7... But even after 10 years he still has the offer I did to him onto his heart." The princess of the sun used her magic to bring to her sister a mug of coffee, which the same sister couldn't help but reject, as she wanted to go sleep the soon as possible. Shrugging her arms, she decided to drink the coffee herself. "For somepony like Spike decided to send a resignation letter to me, it means that something made him break his ties with Ponyville in the most terrible way." Princess Celestia said so casually that made her own sister raises her eyebrows at her. "Sister, you sound like you suspected this." Princess Luna couldn't believe her ears, as she looked at her own sister didn't show any kind of smile, but acceptance of facts in front of her. "Well Luna, since Spike was a baby dragon, I knew that he has great potential at his future, but one thing which always made me doubt about when Twilight would start her journey was one of my most terrifying questions..." Celestia said as she came to a resolution, not showing any kind of emotion as her own sister raised her hoof and gesture to go on... "My most terrifying question would be, what if Twilight did something to Spike which she will regret for the rest of her life?" Princess Luna raised her eyebrow trying to understand the meaning behind the question. "And that's terrible because?" All the vague answers were little by little annoying the younger sister, and the hesitation on her part makes the suspense even worse. "Spit it out already sister, I want to go to bed soon." "Well... you see... Spike is her rock...since from foal hood, Twilight couldn't take care of herself on anything else than her studies, and she clumsy made herself get hurts all the time because she was too concentrated reading books..." Celestia smiled nervously but then after coughing herself, she made clear. "Spike had a dream of becoming a musician and was having great teachers and had a clear future at his front... but looking at Twilight...He then decided to give up his dream to become her assistant and help her out..." The eyes of the princess of the night went wide open from such a statement. "That was his decision from 7 years old?" Princess Luna couldn't help but feel shocked from the decision of the little dragon, to give up something like your future to remain low key to help your family is something not many ponies would do, and Luna knew about that because she didn't like any second from when her sister took all the glory and everypony started hating the night. "Yes, he did it without any hesitation because he wanted to take care of Twilight, however, they still had the support of the family when they started here in Canterlot, and many of their conflicts would have been resolved from their family's interference... But when Twilight was supposed to be on mission on Ponyville and she resolved to stay..." Princess Celestia sighed in disappointment as her sister nodded her head in understanding. "You feared Spike would quit being assistant as soon Twilight was in Ponyville." Princess Luna finished the process of the thoughts of her own sister but her eyes narrowed from such statement. "Wouldn't that be too much for the little dragon?" At the moment she said that princess Celestia gasped. "Luna, please. I can't believe it you are thinking I was forcing the dragon to do something like that." Before her sister even replied she raised her own hoof. "I know that may have been selfish on my part but I didn't do anything to persuade Spike, I just prayed that he wouldn't have any fight with my student. I swear in my name that I didn't receive a letter complaining about their fighting since the day they were there." "Are you sure sister?" Luna looked deeply at her own sister and after confirming that she was telling the truth, she at least sighed in relief. "Okay, keep going." "Well... to be honest, I was glad that Spike didn't get anything troublesome to him until Twilight Sparkle finally ascended to alicorn," Celestia confessed her relief which made her own sister raises her eyebrow... "At the moment that Twilight became a princess, I knew she was ready to take care of herself, and even giving hints that she could have butlers, maids, and helpers. Giving Spike a green card for him to quit his job of assistant and finally follow his own dreams." "And knowing Spike, he took the hint but he was already too familiarized with Ponyville and he already worked for Twilight during all those years that he didn't need a reason for him giving up... Until yesterday." A sudden voice made not just the princess of the moon but even the princess of the sun herself turn their heads behind, as they say, a chimera creature applauding slowly to them. "I have to say princesses, this idea is so chaotic and so evil that I'm questioning if I'm the perpetrator of the chaos at all. Who knew that the elements of harmony would take the secret in 7 keys with them unless the element of Honest?" Both mares made a grim thought as the lord of Chaos smiled evilly at them, but with the red on his eyes, they could see that the chimeric creature was actually plotting thousands of ways to make somepony suffers a Tartarus. "Well Discord, I knew that Spike would someday be stressed with such works, that even someday I was planning to even call him and have a personal talk about he be ready to follow his dreams." Princess Celestia remained composed, but the scoff of the draconiquis showed some purple bubbles as his eyes rolled behind so much that his eyeballs got outside from behind his head. "Please spare me from this sweet talk Tia. You girls don't seem to understand the gravity of what happened." Discord decided to snap his fingers and made the entire garden be switched to a house whose furniture was mixed and upside down. Discord decided to leave them looking confused at the house, as he focused on the flying chest who was riding a blowfish. "FRANK, GET BACK HERE." The chest trembled before flew slowly in his direction, making all the mares look at him. "Frank, to let's be frank. I know, it's an old pun but old is still gold." Chest said as he opened and appeared 2 pieces of gold bars. Discord decided to go inside of the chest whose was half of his own size, making the mares look at themselves before shaking their heads. Then they say a giant cheese wheel getting outside of the chest, then a what would be a grey and brown rod with what would be a face craved on it, as they heard Discord mumbling sorry father, then what would be some red blouses with a kind of symbol on them. Then a bowling ball and after that 2 foxes who were kissing each other before running away from the sudden voice from the chest. "Sorry, Margareth and Edward. But I told you to do that on Fridays. Now GET OUT." Discord finally came back with what would be 2 paper hats with giant letters DUNCE on them. And at the moment he came back, he placed on each princesses horns, making them look ridiculous, as they would be angrier if Discord started laughing at them, but to their surprise Discord was looking serious and without any kind of humor on him. "Let me be frank with you two princesses. I thought after 1 thousand years prisoned on that stone would make you two develop wisdom and understanding to all the creatures over Equestria because you were free... But as the time I was inside of the stone, I could see and hear many things... Cheating wasn't something I would be surprised of... And trust me, Spike is upset with cheating, but what Spike is doing isn't about the relationship of Twilight and Rarity..." Discord said as he made the mares in silence after seeing the Lord of Chaos himself look solemn and angry. "Spike isn't doing this because of betrayal or anger... No... this is a message of something they did to him much worse than that." "A message?" Both Mares asked in unison... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A message?" The stallion said as the little dragon was eating the breakfast on the table, as he looked his own mother in silence and her mane was covering her eyes. "Yeah, dad... I would be upset about Twilight taking my crush, I know that. But that's life how it is, it happens. But was makes me so irate was the fact that they were in a relationship behind my back for months and our only friend who confessed the truth to me was the element of Honesty herself. And she said Rarity and Twilight would confess they would be into a relationship at the moment they would make me comfortable." Spike was so angry that he was munching his gems with milk like a maniac. "Comfortable... can you believe it, dad? They would make me work my body to the bone as they were into a relationship, making me happy to bring Rarity at home and thinking it would be my time to impress her, while in my back they would have been doing things I just imagine me doing with her... that just makes me feel like I'm a loser who wasted so much effort and time thinking about the ways to impress her." At the moment he vented, the mare who was looking at the table got up from her place in silence but the sound of the chair moving made both males looked at the mare in surprise. "Excuse me." Twilight Velvet said as she walked slowly, making both husband and son shrugged on their places. At the next moment, something passed through Night Light's mind. "Spike takes care of the oven, I need to check something quick." The father himself didn't even let the drake answer as he ran upstairs and walked inside of Shining Armor's former room. "Velvet what you are doing?" Night Light asked as he looked at his own wife who seemed unfazed and not showing any kind of emotion. "I'm just wanna talk to her." That was her normal response with made Night Light's eyes wide open and replied. "You are not thinking into doing what I think you are going to do." Night Light firmly stomped on the floor. "I'm just wanna talk to her." Twilight Velvet said as she used her magic and from inside of the wardrobe a royal sword from Royal Guard soldiers was there. "Velvet this is serious. You are going to make this much worse." Night Light said as he saw Velvet carrying the sword with her magic as her unfazed face walked past him. "I'm just wanna talk to her." The same answer made Night Light follow her as he started arguing. But no matter how many times he tried to show a sign of reason to her, his wife always replied with the same answer. "I'm just wanna talk to her." But after passing through the door she finally let it slip the true words. "I'm just going to kill her." "Velvet even if you go to avenge Spike, you still will make Twilight sad by killing Rarity." At the moment Night Light said a good point, he could see the anger deep inside of his own wife got in check as she had the conflicting feelings inside of her. Angry, Night Light was too, but he couldn't let the anger make his wife and mother of 2 princes of Equestria make a scandal like that. Especially since this is a case of lose/lose to them. "There is nothing we can do to Twilight and that mare, it was their choice, the only thing we need to do is take care of our son. Remember Velvy, we have 3 kids, and if the 2 of them fight we will support everypony." The sword covered in magic was shaking after a few seconds but at the moment of pure silence and many ponies looking at the Sparkles, Twilight Velvet let drop the sword, and sigh in defeat. "I hate when you use your logic on me." The mare mumbled as she kissed the cheek of her own husband, leaving him to sigh in relief, and finally got back home. "Mares." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the room was filled with acoustic violin sound, 3 ponies were trying their best to follow the soloist who was giving a few explanations on how movements were made, as the violins were playing following the soloist it appeared some incoherences over the play but as the sound continued, ponies remained struggling but the pony who was leading the explanations was nodding and moving their arms and gestures, making the movement of the bow flows over the violin. As the ponies, 2 were teenagers and 1 old mare and a filly who seemed practicing and moving the same movements a lot of times. As the repeating movements were tiring and exhausting, at the moment they finally got a few good sounds, the movements of the soloist remained clean and without mistake, as the other correcting their stances was nodding by each movement. At the moment the soloist finished, all the ponies were gasping tired. "Good job everypony, Banana Bread, you need to relax your hooves when it comes to vibrato, but you did an amazing job in comparison 2 weeks ago, keep practicing 40 hours per day. Bottle Can, I'm proud of you the C sharp seemed clean on your violin, I want the other notes to be clear like that. Boreal Mane, I'm so glad after your recovering, and you didn't let the sickness take away your passion for music, I'm proud of you. And look at that, Mint Cookie you're officially learned about rhythm and you played so comfortably that makes me scared since at your age you can be treated as a prodigy." The leading violinist was a black stallion with a black and white mane and were glasses, he smiled at the students he was leading with his violin. As the other stallion beside him nodded his head. The other stallion was a grey fur stallion with a black mane and glasses at the same size as the leading violinist. "You guys made good progress with your time. I hope you guys still train 40 hours per day because I'm sure the next year you will be at the Canterlot Royal Orchestra Event. First remember you need to keep balance practicing with your fun, find your passion, and practice until you get ready for everything. Class dismissed." The pony in grey who was correcting their stances gave the final instructions before moving his head towards the black stallion and giving him a scroll. "You have to check this." Noticing the students were already taking their suitcases and moving outside the class, the black unicorn looked at the scroll on his hooves, the look from the black stallion was from unamused to shock, to a deep surprise and to an ecstatic smile. "My goodness Bretton Wood, is that true?" The stallion couldn't hide his smile, as the other stallion nodded his head happy. "I'm glad that this year will be a good surprise not just for the ponies who will hear the orchestra, but for us as well... It's been eons since we heard him play..." Bretton Wood said as he took his own materials and already went to outside of the classroom. "It's good to know an old student came back from the music art. Don't you think Sharp Education?" "Yep. This year will be Interesting." Sharp Education said as his voice pitched when he said the word interesting. As both stallions finally got outside the classroom and turn of the lights.
