Paging Doctor Sparkle

Author's Note:

Twilight Sparkle may have a PhD in friendship, but she's a bad friend to Moon Dancer. In this song, Twilight hasn't bothered to hang out with Moon Dancer at all since the second party, and Moon Dancer isn't too happy about that.

Now that you finally slink back

You have the hubris to think that

Interesting...

I love the uniqueness of all of these songs! Your voice is unique and pleasant and your songwriting style is definitely something I've never heard before. I like it!

If I made a musical or something like that, your music would be a great addition to it!

Don't let what anybody says get you down and keep making great music!

Thank you so much!

This was well written. I enjoyed it. Better than quite a few original brony songs I've listened to. Don't know why so many dislikes. I think it's because it's not widely accepted to publish songs on Fimfiction. The bones are nice, with a little polishing on the vocals and recording quality I think it could sound even better. (Look at Strangers, for example. Painfully simple and repetitive, but with good recording and a nice PMV, it's highly successful. But that's just me ranting.)

If I made a musical or something like that, your music would be a great addition to it!

Totally agree. I'm getting very "Broadway" vibes from this song. Moondancer the Musical much??
