Unwinding
"Sunset, your entire performance was great, but I have to say, that last song? It was simply beautiful," Sunny complimented, as she, the unicorn, Sprout, and the two pegasi siblings made their way down the hall to the guest suites in the castle.
"Thanks so much, Sunny. My Past Is Not Today was the first song I wrote back when I was starting to turn things around for myself."
"If you ask me, it represents almost all of us right now," Pipp chimed in. "We've all been putting our pasts behind us through reunification."
"You got that right," Sunny agreed.
"I'll get recordings from tonight sent to your phone as soon as they're mixed and ready, Sunset," Pipp told her.
"Sweet, that's one of the best ways to improve, listening to yourself. It feels like I haven't missed a beat, but there's always room to get better," Sunset replied.
"We loved having you tonight, I know we're heading up to the Crystal Empire again after tomorrow, but let us know when you want to play again, there'll always be a spot open for you."
"Thanks, Pipp. That means a lot. I'll certainly keep that in mind. I'm not really thinking about my options right now, everything's still up in the air, but I'll keep that in mind. It's only been a few days and I've already missed it."
"I can't wait to take a look at that passage in the museum," Sunny commented.
"There's not a lot down there, but you can look around all you like.
"I don't know about you gals, but after that, I'm gonna grab some dessert and fall into bed. Great show, Sunset, I'll be seeing you tomorrow," Zipp said, before splitting off towards the castle kitchen.
"Well, after that performance, I'm nowhere near ready to retire yet. Say, Sprout, you much of a gamer? Feel like some tag-team Pony League?" Pipp asked the red earth pony.
"Say what?" Sprout asked.
"Go for it, you'll love it," Sunset immediately told him, and the pegasus and earth stallion split off to head towards the princess' streaming room.
"Guess it's just you and me. I'm up for getting a slice of pie or something downtown. Weather report says it's going to be beautiful out tonight, what do you say?" Sunny asked.
Sunset smirked.
"I say cookies and cream."
The next morning...
Swift Melody walked down the main street of downtown Zephyr Heights. It was so early in the morning that the fog hadn't lifted from the top of the mountain yet.
It would be a good half hour before most stores on the main strip would be ready to open, and likely be closer to lunch before things would get considerably busy.
So seeing a line of ponies going around the corner as he approached his storefront, and seeing that they were all queued to get into his store was undoubtedly surprising. He had to do a double take at the more than two dozen pegasi waiting on him to open up.
"Um, well, good morning, everypony. I'm not quite ready to open yet, but can I get a heads up on what most of you are looking for?"
"Good morning, Mr. Melody. I'm pretty sure that all of us are here because we attended Pipp's concert last night. We're looking for that instrument that the unicorn was playing. What was it called? Oh, a guitar!"
Swift's stomach dropped.
'Oh no...'
Very short and sweet this time around. So much to work on, so little time.
Such is life.

I love that song
I guess I never imagined her as a gamer please make it happen Hasbro gamer pipp or the fandom
Looks like somepony's gonna be calling you for building directions, Sunset…

Wow it looks like the concert was a big success but it looks like they're about to just take a break after that and it's nice to see pipp showing sprout of her set up and they look like they're about to go to the Crystal Empire very soon still I wonder what else they're going to uncover well I guess we'll find out next time although the ending was pretty funny
That's it I'm commissioning a photo of Gamer Pipp going one on one with Gamer Luna
That poor pony...
And still remains her best song yet. Well let it rain and embrace the magic are good too but the first one is still my personal fav.
Huh, I'm surprised many of us fans didn't realize that.
That artwork is perfect!
great chapter
Well, just tell them it was an experimental instrument and currently not on production yet. That would buy you some time.
Hmmm. The one that makes me long for a pony voice by Nick Cannon so as to tell him "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!!!!!!" would make a great bass player.
VERY good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up once again. Definitely liked the reactions to the last song (as well as the point-outs of how appropriate it was) in addition to the recommendation for tag team Pony League. Plus, cookies and cream as a pie selection is great. And, yeah, the reaction to Sunset's use of the guitar was good too.
VERY certainly looking forward to more of this.

huh they actually finished it? I didn't think it made it past the storyboard.
I like the Sunset box.
I’m thinking that he needs to be removed.
Anyways, looks like Sunset introduced a new instrument to modern Equestria, an instrument that likely needs to be tweaked a bit to better fit their world.

Ah, I see you watch The Masked Singer.

Fixed, thank you!
Oh no, I feel bad for Swift Melody. Hopefully, he can find a solution.
My past is not today was a good one!

The Make Your Mark special that recently came out gave me an idea. What if Sunset were to sing Shine Like Rainbows at the Maretime Bay Day Festival with Sunny and all her friends?
this would fit Sunset's situation quite well.
