A day later, the band members meet together in Octavia and Vinyl's  living room.
Vinyl Scratch looks around and smiles. "We got a date for a small concert at the Blue Parasprite; Their regular entertainer had to cancel for undisclosed reasons.  It maybe a bit of a dive, but we have to start somewhere. Sure, we could produce decent records," Nods with a smile at Sweetie Belle, "But it's the live shows that really bring out the best in us. And not to mention the extra money that  a live show usually brings in."

That evening, the band is on stage for their first gig together.
"Are we ready to rock!?" asks Sweetie Belle
"When you are..." Octavia said calmly,
"Let's do this!" exclaims Lyra, with a huge grin.
"Awww yeaaaaaah~!"



The band smiles as they listen to the applause from the audience.
Sweetie Belle grins at her band mates "Okay girls, lets hope this second song is just a good."



Sweetie Belle steps off the stage as the band takes a short break, and heads for one of more private corners of the night club,
"Button Mash, you shouldn't be in here; But, thank you for coming anyways. It means a lot to me."
"You're welcome. You shouldn't be in here either, But I guess the band can't go on without you."
Sweetie answers with a smile."As long as I am with the band, and don't drink alcohol, I am allowed in." Looking around, "I better get back on stage."

During the short break, Lyra sits down next to Bon Bon, who was watching the show.
"Bonnie, is something wrong? I been watching your face during that last song, you do not seem to be happy."
"I am not. I put up with your various eccentricities, because I love you, And they prevent you from going far,"
Lyra narrowed her eyes; she did not like what Bon-Bon was implying,
"I can see and hear that you and the rest of the band will go far. Very far. All over Equestria, and beyond.. Leaving me here all alone.  I am very tempted to ask you to quit. But, that would not be fair to anyone."
Lyra turned and watched the band get back on stage. She stood up to join them. "We'll talk later, Bon-Bon."

Sweetie Belle overhead the conversation between Bon-Bon and Lyra, and had chosen the next song while she looked into her fellow unicorn's eyes. What will happen next, she had no idea. 
After  a quick, quiet discussion about the next song, the band begins to sing again.



"Alright girls, the next song is a slight change of pace."



"Well, that was a bit painful. " commented. Vinyl Scratch."More in terms of tempo, then anything to do with the lyrics.; Which were good by the way."
Sweetie Belle, nods. "Alright, you might like the next one."



After the song, the band stared out on the dance floor.
"Are you sure Twilight Sparkle is a princess?. Aren't dance lessons suppose to come with a crown?", asked Sweetie in disbelief. She remembered  Rarity telling her about Twilight's last attempt at dancing.
"Being a DJ, I have seen worse." commented Vinyl Scratch.
:"We all have our eccentricities,"
"Speak for yourself Lyra," sniffed Octavia with disdain. "Thought she had more class."
Sweetie Belle looked at all the band members with hard eyes. "I  admit I was taken aback. But she is the Princess, so she can set any trends she wants,"
Octavia whispers "Please, no."
Sweetie continued, ignoring the whispered comment. "I know just the song for her. So lets really show her, and the rest of audience, how to rock on out,"



With a hint of raw emotion in Sweetie Belle's voice "Okay, last song; And this one sums up my feelings more then anything else tonight."



Sweetie Belle sees Princess Twilight Sparkle staring at her open-mouthed, her lower jaw almost touching the floor. Then an intense gleam of interest appears in the Element of Magic's eyes. 
A shiver of fear runs down the singer's spine."Okay, We're done. Time to get the hay out of here!" She races for one of the exits, hoping to leave the Princess far behind.
