//------------------------------// // A Disastrous Show. // Story: Shadow Sky In a New World // by Shadow Skysito //------------------------------// ~•~ ¡IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! - From the next chapter I will change the writing format, to try to improve the format of the novel... we'll see if it's better or not :3 ~•~ It was Saturday morning and everyone at the school was excited for the event that would take place on Monday, a Talent Show put on by our teacher. Obviously Sweetie Belle and her friends couldn't be more excited. AppleBloom - "Okay Cute Mark Crusaders, everyone back to work, we need to compose something for Monday." Scootaloo - "Very good!" Sweetie Belle - "It's going to be fun!" Shadow Sky - "You know I won't be on the Show, right?" Sweetie Belle - "We know, but we could use a little help." Yesterday AppleJack showed us his old clubhouse, offering the Cute Mark Crudaders to keep it so that it now belongs to them, it seems that AppleBloom is very good at construction and carpentry, he was able to rebuild and perfect the clubhouse... he did which is strange considering that a few days ago they couldn't put together a simple nightstand. AppleBloom - "Okay, Sweetie Belle, you'll be in charge of the costumes and props, Scootaloo, you'll be the vocalist and songwriter, and I'll be in charge of the dance." Shadow Sky - "...girls...how about we switch roles?...AppleBloom Props, Scootaloo Dance and Sweetie Belle vocals/songwriter, if you want I can help you with the costumes." AppleBloom - "I wouldn't know what to implement, I'm not that creative." Sweetie Belle - "I couldn't stand up and sing in front of so many ponies, I'd die of it." Scootaloo - "I prefer the Rock ballad." Shadow Sky - "...okay..." Shadow Sky - "I don't think anything good will come of this." (thought) Everything ended well... according to them... the day of the show arrived and the three of them were very nervous. AppleBloom - "Guys, will it sound bad if I say I'm regretting it?" Scootaloo - "I feel the same way, this panic is going to kill me." Sweetie Belle - "C-calm, we just have to continue as planned... he...he" A small nervous laugh, she wasn't in top condition either. Twilight - "Wow, so my little ponies will be participating?" Cute mark crusaders - "Yes..." Twilight - "Okay, how are you feeling?" Cute mark crusaders - "Nervous." Twilight - "Don't worry little ones, everything will be fine, I want to hear you sing Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle - "Why does everyone think I'm going to sing?" I got to hear that, so I came down from the top of the stage where the light shows are going on. Shadow Sky - "Well, that's easy, it's because you have the most beautiful voice in all of Equestria, why else would it be?" Sweetie Belle - "..." (blushing) Upon touching the ground I said that without thinking, it was as if it had come directly from the heart. Shadow Sky - "...Sweetie?...are you alright?" Scootaloo - "Agh, perfect Shadow, you broke it minutes before our show." Shadow Sky - "Huh?!" Twilight - "mmhh... so..." (thought) It seems Twilight was beginning to understand. Diamond Tiara - "Wow, is this how girls are going to introduce themselves?, with those clothes?, hahahaha." AppleBloom - "Great, what we were missing." Shadow Sky - "What do you need Diamond Tiara? I don't want you to come bothering them, they are about to introduce themselves." Diamond Tiara - "Well... I wanted you to come with me to see the performances..." (Blushing) Twilight - "I wish I had popcorn right now." (Thought) Shadow Sky - "Oh... erm... oh no, a light is about to go down, it's going to fall on somepony... I have to go!" I left the scene quickly, it got a little awkward. Diamond Tiara - "Maybe... he had things to do..." Diamond Tiara left there too, leaving the Cute mark crusaders more nervous than they already were. Sweetie Belle - "...t-t-t-thanks!!!...I said it he he." It seemed like he was in a trance. Scootaloo - "Sweetie Belle, react now, your eyes are staring at nothing, it's our turn!" AppleBloom - "Is that what you wanted to say to Shadow when she told you that you sang well?..." Sweetie Belle - "He, he, hehe... what?..." AppleBloom - "... forget it, it's our turn, put your brain in its place and let's get going." Today Sweetie Belle was a little... different. And everything went according to plan, everything was a disaster... but hey!, at least they are good comedians, so good that they got a medal for it. AppleBloom and Scootaloo went home, I walked Sweetie Belle home. Sweetie Belle - "I wish I had gotten my Cute mark, it was all for nothing." Shadow Sky - "I don't think it was for nothing." A beautiful night was approaching as we walked to Sweetie Belle's house. Shadow Sky - "It's obvious why you didn't get your Cute mark." Sweetie Belle - "Because we didn't do anything we're good at... I'm not good with props, Scootaloo can't sing and AppleBloom can't dance... I know, I don't know if they know, but I think I'd try New stuff isn't so bad..." Shadow Sky - "...can I ask you something?" Sweetie Belle - "Sure." Shadow Sky - "Why are you so... mature when you're with me? Because when you're with your friends you're more... normal." Sweetie Belle - "...I think it's because you are like that... I think I adapt to your way of being... you don't behave like a child of our age, you seem more like an older pony... but it's okay... I like you that way." Shadow Sky - "...uh...what?" Sweetie Belle - "Eh?... *blushing* ¡NONONONONO! ¡Not like that! ¡I chose my words wrong! ¡I meant that I really like you just the way you are!" Shadow Sky - "...*puf* hahahahahaha." Sweetie Belle - "Wh-wh-what's wrong?" (blushing) Shadow Sky - "Haha, it's just that it makes me laugh how you behave some times." Sweetie Belle - "...hehe, I think it's funny haha." (blushing) Shadow Sky - "But you know Sweetie... I "like" you the way you are too." A small mocking laugh came out of my face, I was making fun of her for her earlier confusion. Sweetie Belle - "...hehe, don't laugh! haha." I made sure that Sweetie Belle got home safely, so I got ready to rest in my house, it was an exhausting day, I was sleepy, and I fell asleep in the armchair in the living room in front of the fireplace. I'm going to repeat it again... these nightmares come back from time to time. Mom - "So are you enjoying your new home?" Shadow Sky - "I-I..." Mom - "¡¿So you like to leave your family?!" Shadow Sky - "¡N-no, I'm trying to get back!" Mom - "¡¿WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!" Shadow Sky - "Do you think it's that easy?" Mom - "¡¿Are you going to abandon your father like you abandoned us?!" Shadow Sky - "¡¡¡¿ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!!!, ¡¡¡I KNOW I'M STILL MORTIFYING THAT I FORGIVE HIS MURDERER!!!, ¡¡¡BUT I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!" Mom - "You abandoned us-" Shadow Sky - "¡¡¡AGH!!!, ¡¡¡Stop torturing me!!!, ¡¡¡I already apologized!!!" ¿? - "¡¡¡Stop!!!" The tears did not stop falling, the same dream as always, my human form disappeared with the presence of a resplendent light, giving me my pony appearance again. Shadow Sky - "Wh-what?..." The place was dark before that light that appeared before me, now the whole place was illuminated. ¿? - "I need an explanation... right now little one." Shadow Sky - "P-Princess... Luna?..."
