The Music in Our Hearts
Later that night, the guys were setting the Rainbooms stuff up discreetly at the hilltop with the help of Vinyl Scratch, the only other person who was immune to the Dazzlings’ hypnosis (She never took off her headphones). It was time for me to see what my right hand could do, and I didn’t even have any intention of trying it out in the first place. The door was locked from the outside, but I didn’t have a key. I started banging on the door with my hands, getting just a little farther with my right hand, the one that would look monstrous if I actually let it out.
So I let it out, and something incredible happened. It expanded into a set of ethereal claws surrounded loosely by the scales which pushed me back a few feet. It tore at the door and pulled it away from the wall. I dropped it on the ground as Spike walked in. Flash wasn’t too far from me, so he commented on it with a single word.
“Impressive!” we ran to the opening left by the door. Once inside, I saw Flash and Twilight arguing. “Look, I had to say that stuff! I cried when I did!”
“Give me one good reason why you said it then!” Twilight said. Flash looked to me.
“He was helping me,” I said. “But right now I need your help in beating the Dazzlings! Get Changed and let’s go!” I tossed them the costumes that they wore the first time, Flash, Spike and I ran to the Hilltop, soon followed by Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms. The Dazzlings were already singing when we got there.
Welcome to the Show, we’re here to let you know
Our time is now; your time is running out
Feel the wave of sound as it crashes down
you can’t turn away we’ll make you wanna stay.
We will be adored, tell us that you want us
We won’t be ignored, it’s time for our reward.
Now you need us come and heed us nothing can stop us now!
It was around here that the Rainbooms started Playing, and Fluttershy’s song was being sung by Twilight.
Oh-whoa-whoa I got the music in me
Don’t need to hear a crowd cheering out my name,
I didn’t come here seeking infamy or fame,
the one and only thing that I am here to bring
is music
is the music
is the music in my soul
Gonna Break out, set myself free, yeah
Let it all go, just let it be, yeah
Find the music in your heart, let the music make you start to set yourself apart!
I could tell even from here that the Dazzlings weren’t intimidated by this intrusion to their performance they just kept singing.
What we have in store, all we want and more,
We will break on through, now it’s time to finish you!
Three giant ethereal sea horses of varying colors popped out of their music and knocked us down. The mic flying into Sunset Shimmer’s hand.
“Sunset Shimmer!” I yelled. “Sing! Take the Mic and SING!” and she hesitantly did with some encouragement from Blueburst and Sunlit Torch.
You’re never gonna bring me down,
You’re never gonna break this part of me,
My friends are here to bring me ‘round,
Not singing just for popularity
We’re here to let you know
That we won’t let it go
Our music is a bomb and it’s about to blow
And you can try to fight
But we have got the light
of friendship on our side
Everyone started to change, including me. We all got pony ears and our hair grew into ponytails (girls longer than the boys) and Flash, Twilight, Rainbow, and Fluttershy grew wings. A rainbow shot out from their hearts, and my hand involuntarily shot upwards
got the music in our hearts
we’re here to blow this thing apart
and together we will never
be afraid of the dark!
Here to sing our song out loud
Get you dancing with the crowd
As the music of our friendship
Survives, SURVIVES!
The rainbow formed an ethereal Alicorn made out of constellations, it’s magic rebounded off my hand and hit the Sea Monsters that the Dazzlings created.
got the music in our hearts

The last round of music was played through by Rainbow and Flash, and it was epic. The Explosion of sheer power resonated through the crowd. The Dazzlings were booed off the stage and Flash hugged Twilight.
“Rainbooms Rock!” he said. I just had to smile… then I remembered Melody and went right back to a somber look. It took me that long to remember that I had no way of getting home, back to my Twilight, my Flash… my friends. Then, something drastically different from before (my coming) happened.
“That was… awesome!” Rainbow Dash said.
“Wow, umm… what was that?” Twilight asked.
“That’s called a kiss.” Flash said. “Don’t have those in Equestria huh?”
“Not really,” Twilight was blushing like crazy. “I liked it though.”
“Ahem!” I said. “Now that that’s outta the way, can I ask Twilight about the thing?” Flash looked confused for a second… only remembering that I predicted everything that happened this week and why that was.
“Oh! Right!” Flash looked to Twilight. “Twilight, this kid’s named Champion and he’s… well to be blunt from the future.”
“What!?”
“That’s why I had Flash say all those nasty things to you, he said them before I altered with the timeline because he was under the Hypnosis… but because he befriended me he was protected from the spell.”
“What’s the thing you want then?”
“I want to go forward in time Seventeen years… to the time I came from.”
“You want to go home… even though it might be different?”
“I know it’s going to be different, that… kiss secured the fact that my first friend will never be born.”
