Thanks to a head cold, Coloratura cancels her upcoming appearance at the Friendship Festival in Canterlot. However, the decision saved her from being put at the mercy of the Storm King, but unfortunately, fellow music artist Songbird Serenade was not so fortunate. Now, Coloratura attempts to console her friend as she deals with the trauma surrounding the Storm King's invasion.

After being tasked with making a friend by Twilight Sparkle, Tempest is distracted by Songbird's amazing show and goes to compliment her on it.

I wrote this fic after telling my artist friend that if she drew a Tempest x Songbird image(this stories cover image), I'd write a fic for it. She held up her end, so I held up mine. Hope you guys enjoy :)

Rated Teen because I don't know if some parts are 'show-like everyone rated'

Wew. Peeps really seem to want more out of a complete story. MAYBE I'll indulge. If I can figure out how to make this ship work...

When you're down in the dumps, all it takes is something simple to raise your spirits.

For Twilight, simple things somehow end up arriving in ways she wouldn't expect.

Contains spoilers for the My Little Pony movie.

Fluttershy has come a long way since Twilight came to Ponyville, but she’s still very shy compared to most ponies.

But who would have thought that a big time star would be shy as well?

A gift for BlackWater with thanks for SOOOO many things.

After she's left with broken wings due to an accident, Songbird finds herself consumed by stress and doubting herself. A few comforting words from her marefriend remind her of why she performs, and she learns that a fall from grace isn't always a bad thing.

Whenever Songbird Serenade steps onto the stage, the crowd calls for her. They hear her voice. And more importantly, they hear the pegasus' words. But there was a time when Songbird's words were very small and not well known. During her high school days, Songbird was a poet inspired to capture the world by storm with words. Unfortunately, that mindset almost cost her the future she was destined for.

No movie spoilers will be in this story. This story is pure speculation.

I want to personally thank Crystal Wishes and the people in her Discord for making me feel welcome and happy. You are all great people. Really, thank you.

A special thanks to Sylvian for proof-reading.

I wrote this story prior to the movie's release. Cannon lore about Songbird Serenade's may contradict my story, but I wanted to touch on who the pop singer was before she became famous. This is to feed the crowd until the actual movie is out in theaters.

A mare of talent and mystery, Songbird Serenade is beloved for her music.

But she hides things from the public, struggling with her inner problems and the fears of her life out of their view. All they ever see is the unbeatable popstar, the cheery mare of the stage. It's all she'll allow them to see. She won't let anyone see otherwise, because then they might be dragged into her torment.

I appreciate the story being shared around, commented on, liked, enjoyed, all that jazz.

Shortly after her biggest fan dies of cancer, Coloratura, accompanied by her close friend Songbird Serenade, visits her grave.

When Cerberus left his post at the gates of Tartarus, Tirek wasn't the only ancient enemy of Celestia and Luna to escape. Of the many monsters that poured out, among them was the first foe that Celestia and Luna ever fought as newly-crowned princesses.

Now free from his constraints and with a thirst for vengeance against the 'false goddesses', the Frumentarii Cassius is once more released upon Equestria to sow havoc in the name of Mars. He will have his revenge, even if that means a new legion will have to be forged.

A Legion in the skies. The Storm Legion.

A small town Pegasus finds herself in unfortunate circumstances. Emotional ramifications force her to make decisions which could lead to a life of frivolity or one plagued by failure and despair.
