//------------------------------// // Act XXVII: Back Where You Belong // Story: Sweetie Belle's Descent Into Madness- A Musical // by Matthais Unidostres //------------------------------// . . . . . . . . . Curtain Rise! Act XXVI: Awakening Princess Twilight Sparkle stood in full regalia in front of town hall, flanked by Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. While Luna looked elated and triumphant, Celestia still seemed slightly somber and guilt ridden. In fact, most of the ponies of Ponyville had dispositions that matched the Princess of the Sun. Twilight was quick to pick up on this, and understood completely. And so, she cleared her throat and began to speak. "Citizens of Ponyville," she began, "A while back, a strong magic spread a wave of doubt regarding my position. It was tough. It was emotionally trying. But it was not impossible to endure. And what's more, it was not your fault. I have made a few mistakes in the past. and there have been times when I have doubted myself. That spell simply spread that fear and magnified it many times over. I also discovered that the spell affected your opinions of others in this town as well. But I ask you all to not feel any guilt about what had happened. Your thoughts and emotions were manipulated by an outside source, and I cannot blame you all for that. You may not believe me, but I knew how this would all end. I knew that the truth would come to light. I knew that justice would soon be served. And now that it has, let us leave the past in the past, and look to a bright future. Starting off with this wonderful celebration!" The whole crowd cheered with joy, completely uplifted by the Princess' words. Celestia even managed to smile after it. As the crowd cheered, five ponies and dragon pushed through to the front. When Twilight saw them, she smiled and jumped off the wooden platform to meet with them. "Before you say anything," Twilight began, holding a hoof up, "Just know that I don't blame any of you for what happened. No matter what happened, you will always be my friends. Fluttershy actually let out a sigh of relief. The other ponies nodded silently before turning towards Spike. The little dragon was wringing his claws nervously and looking down at his feet. Soon, the whole crowd went silent as the dragon worked to gather up his nerve. "Spike?" Twilight asked in a soft concerned tone, "What is it?" Spike took a few deep breaths, counting to three in his head, and began singing. I heard you're asking how I'm feeling I guess I'll play it day by day I'm still around now, my heart is healing But some things never gonna change Spike looked up directly at Twilight and spread his arms wide. 'Cause now I know Friends ain't easy to find I let you go Now I'm changing my mind I know that friends, they don't come easy It took so long, it's been hard to find So Twi, you must believe me Ain't gonna let it slip away We know we were wrong We want you back where you belong Want you back where you belong Back where you belong The crowd all voice their agreement and nodded. A few ponies had tears in their eyes and were unable to speak as Spike sang his song. Twilight could only look directly at Spike, too shocked to move, speak, or react. I played around then, I did some dealing I found that I should be with you When you were gone then, my head was reeling Don't wanna be with someone new And so I went, With that feeling inside me 'Cause I knew What you left behind I know that friends, they don't come easy It took so long, it's been hard to find So Twi, you must believe me Ain't gonna let it slip away We know we were wrong We want you back where you belong Want you back where you belong Back where you belong Twilight smiled an overjoyed smile as her pony friends moved around her and caught her in a group hug. Spike smiled back at Twilight, with a fulfilled look on his face. I guess in time I stop and think it over Everything that we've been through I know that I may never find another Who cares for me the way you do Spike ran up to Twilight and gleefully joined the group hug. Twilight put her forelegs around the little dragon in a tight hug. I heard you're asking how I'm feeling I guess I'll play it day by day I'm still around now, my heart is healing But some things never gonna change 'Cause now I know Friends ain't easy to find I let you go Now I'm changing my mind I know that friends, they don't come easy It took so long, it's been hard to find So Twi, you must believe me Ain't gonna let it slip away We know we were wrong Want you back where you belong Back where you belong, hey, hey I know that friends, they don't come easy It took so long, it's been hard to find And so Twi, you must believe me Ain't gonna let it slip away, Twilight Photo Finish, who was in the crowd, pulled out her camera and took a snapshot of the group hug. That photo now rests in a photo album among the dozens of other pictures documenting the huge party that went on that day. And a copy of that photo hangs up prominently in the Ponyville Library. THE END My mother while in that courtroom She turned and said to me, "Why must you live life so morbidly? I tried to teach you right But somewhere I went wrong, 'Cause you sing those bad, bad, siren, siren, evil, evil songs." Credits When that judge slammed his hammer down And laid his horrible judgement down, My eyes were wet, my face was very long. Then Discord said, "Mare, here you are. Won't you please take this guitar? Why don't sing for us one final song."
