It was a lovely day at Canterlot High and everyone is doing good in their classes. But today was a special day for the student body. Today was the day that they will be setting aside to visit the Manehattan Theater for a special program. We zoom inside the school and see everyone heading to the lunchroom where Principal Celestia is giving her announcement on the program. Everyone quieted down and got ready to hear what she had to say.
"Ok everyone. Principal Celestia here with an announcement. Remember that today is the day where we set aside to visit the local Manehattan Theater for the Musical Arts program okay?" Celestia asked.
Everyone nodded and agreed yes as a way of saying their on board.
"Good. Now I want everyone to make this a positive experience okay? If we all take a moment to look within I think everyone can see that special something that represents the best way to make wonderful art. And don't forget that we will be there for 3 months cause we will be participating in a special play that the director is working on. So let's all make a difference in sharing the passion of theatre. Ok class?" Celestia asked.
Everyone agreed and said yes as they started getting excited to see how they do it in Manehattan of theatre. The Rainbooms and a lovely woman named Octavia Melody were excited too. But somehow she was a little upset.
"Girls! I am so excited to go to the Manehattan Theater! I even brought my wardrobe to see what kind of play we will do later on! I can tell that it's gonna be full of passion and heart!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Ok Rarity but we don't even know what kind of play we'll be participating in. I really don't do theatre that much." Rainbow replied.
"We know Rainbow but this something we all have to do for the next three months. It's not so bad if you give it a chance." Twilight reminded her.
But then Sunset Shimmer notices that Octavia was a little upset. She wondered why and went to her.
"Hey Octavia? Is everything okay?" Sunset asked.
"No I'm just a little sad right now." Octavia answered.
"Well what's wrong?" Sunset wondered.
"When I heard that we were going to the Manehattan Theater for three months I completely forgot to make some music for our special play. And not only that but I hadn't found any inspration. I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do." Octavia explained.
Then Principal Celestia came to her.
"It's okay Octavia. I know it's hard to come up with some new music for the play but if there's one person I know that can write beautiful music it's you." Celestia assured.
Octavia smiled knowing that she is right.
"Thank you Principal Celestia. But there's one problem. How will I make enough music for our play on time?" Octavia asked.
"Don't worry about that. You will have all the time you need. When I was talking to the director on the phone she told me that you have til the end of March to make some music. That should give you enough time to think about what you want to be inspired by." Celestia explained.
"Oh ok. Thanks for letting me know Principal Celestia." Octavia said.
"My pleasure. Ok everyone! Let's all gather our belongings and make our way to the buses." Celestia announced.
Soon everyone stood up and grabbed their stuff and made their way to the buses. The students all filled three or fours buses up and after they did that the lead bus began moving and the others followed behind so they wouldn't get lost. In one of the buses we see the Rainbooms gossiping to each other about what they'll do once they arrive at the Manehattan Theater. Meanwhile with Sunset and Octavia they were trying to figure out what kind of music she can write for the play.
"So Octavia. Since were heading to a theater in thinking that you can write some music about romance." Sunset suggested.
"That could work. But first I need to know what kind of play we will be doing once we arrive in Manehattan. If I don't know what kind of play it is then I can't write the music." Octavia said.
"No worries. You can definitely do that. And I know your gonna do great making that music." Sunset encouraged her.
"Thanks Sunset. I know I will to." Octavia smiled. "So what are you going to do for the play?"
"I'm probably going to try and practice my singing and dancing. I always dreamed of being a dancer/singer in theatre. So that's why I'm gonna do." Sunset explained.
"Oh how wonderful! Well I wish you good luck. Be the best singer and dancer you can be." Octavia said.
"Thanks Octavia. Same to you." Sunset responded back.
We zoom out as the buses continued to follow the lead bus all the way to Manehattan. Once they arrived everyone grabbed their belongings and got off the buses and headed inside the Manehattan Theater. Once inside they all saw a wonderful sight to behold.
The entire performance hall was adorned with beautiful golden statues that sparkled brightly. There were rows upon rows of velvet red seats with golden frames and trimmings. What really seemed to catch all of their eyes, their mouths dropping, was the centerpiece of it all hung high over their heads. An amazing diamond chandelier lit up the entire hall, twinkling and sparkling like a thousand stars. Rarity had to wipe away a tear that began to from in her blue eyes. Never before had she seen such a beautiful opera house, not even the most famous on in Canterlot measures to the beauty of this room alone.
“Oh my!” Rarity gasped, starstruck. “I’ve never seen such a beautiful sight!”
"Me either Rarity. It's beautiful." Fluttershy agreed.
"I'm glad you are all enjoying the view. But follow me as we locate the director of this theater and get assigned to our positions of our play. Come class." Celestia announced.
So the class all followed Celestia to find the director. Little did they know that a mysterious shadowy figure was watching from bleachers covered in shadow.
"Hmm. Very interesting. A group of people wondering what the music has to offer. I shall keep a close eye on them and see what they are doing." The figure said in a deep tenor voice.
The figure walked away and followed quietly to see what the class were doing. And sooner or later he will try to help them achieve that and earn the heart of a certain girl that plays the cello.
