Triple Musical Date

Songbird Serenade was sitting alone in a seemingly endless dark void, with the voice of a wise male echoing.

"Be a strong singer Songbird," The male voice of her father echoed. "Be brave. Don't ever let them see you afraid."

"I'll try father," Songbird replied.

"Wow, your eyes are beautiful!" Spike's words echoed, snapping Songbird out of her thoughts.

Through her locks, Songbird could make out the outline shape of Spike's appearance. Songbird turned away, blushing a shade of red, despite being concealed by her hairs.

It didn't take long for Songbird's hairs to be parted to the sides, by a pair of strong, yet gentle hands, and was quickly welcomed by the sight of Spike, who smiled lovingly towards her.

"They're beautiful," Spike repeated.

Songbird was breathing rapidly, blushing as Spike continues to stare at her, in the eyes. If what they say is true, and the eyes are indeed the windows to a person's soul, then Songbird is certain that Spike would see that she is shocked beyond any words right now, in his presence. Furthermore, when she looked into his eyes, all she sees is that of a kind loving man, who is being completely honest with what he said about her eyes.

Songbird blushed as she stared into Spike's eyes, and smiled, "I think your eyes are beautiful too Spike," She said.

Before long, Spike broke out singing, asking Songbird to tell him what does she see now. Songbird looked around her, to see the darkness evaporating to reveal beautiful stars decorating the night.

Quest For Camelot - Looking Through Your Eyes

Spike soon took his leave, with Songbird running after him. Spike stopped for a moment, before his whole body was engulfed in a fiery green aura. Once the light dies down, there stood Spike, as a dragon. In appearance, Spike's dragon form is coated in purple scales, with long green crests running from the head down to the tail where it ends in an arrowhead, green underbelly with a large pair of wings with the matching color. At first, Songbird was frightened by Spike's transformation into a dragon. However, after a moment of looking, she noticed that aside his fearsome appearance, she also saw kindness and gentleness in his eyes.

Walking over to her, on all four, Spike bowed his head down before Songbird, as if he was beckoning her to climb on. Songbird complied, and with a beat of his wings, Spike was airborne, as he took the blond/brunette pop star into the sky, flew through the clouds, before they flew over some mountains, and at last the city was beneath them. Songbird smiled widely, falling in love with the beauty of the night sky, combined together with the city lights illuminating beneath them.

"This is so beautiful," Songbird smiled, hugging Spike's neck tightly.

In the real world, Songbird was hugging a pillow tightly, nuzzling her face into the soft fabric, thinking it was Spike. Little did she know, at the same time, Rara fell out of bed, after having a loving dream of her own with Spike.

Later

After they got themselves ready, Songbird left for dress rehearsal, together with her colleagues, Sapphire Shores and Rara.

While Rara went off to do some yogas, Sapphire and Songbird were left in the studio together to work with their backup dancers. During rehearsal, Spike was allowed into the studio and he was passing through when the two were rehearsing with their dancers. Songbird wanted to go up and greeted him, but couldn't since she was busy at the moment.

Songbird's backup dancers were practicing their dance routines, while the pop star herself was warming up her vocals, singing a song.

Songbird:I know you, you're a special one

Some see crazy where I see love

You fall so low but shoot so high

Big dreamers shoot for open sky

So much life in those open eyes

So much depth, you look for the light

But when your wounds open, you will cry

You'll cry out now and you'll question why

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

I am here and I see your pain

Through the storms, through the clouds, the rain

I'm telling you you can not escape

You can do it, just feel, baby

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

Here comes the sun smiling down

Here comes the sun smiling down

Here comes the sun smiling down

Smiling down

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

I can see a rainbow (Here comes the sun)

In your tears as they fall on down

I can see your soul grow (Here comes the sun)

Through the pain as they hit the ground

I can see a rainbow (Here comes the sun)

In your tears as the sun comes out

As the sun comes out

With a final spin, the dancers came to the end of their dance, just as Songbird came to the end of her song. Looking over at her backup dancers, Songbird stood up and applauded, "Well done everyone," She smiled. "Looks like we're all in good shape for the big show coming up."

"You too Ms. Serenade," A male backup dancer complimented when he took his wig off, to reveal his hairs are purple mulberry with matching eyes. "Your voice is spot on!"

"Why thank you, Tender Taps," Songbird smiled to the young man. "You're steps are spot on. And please, no need to be so formal. Just call me Songbird. We're friends, no?"

"Um, right," Tender smiled in agreement. "Of course, Songbird. Friends."

Songbird nodded before she turned to the rest of her dancers, "Okay, that's a wrap. Let's take five." With that, the dancers, beside Tender Taps, all took off their wigs, revealing their true natural colors and went around to the dressing room to change out of their costumes. At the same time, Sapphire Shores's dancers were finished with their rehearsal, and they left to join their colleagues, while the Queen of Pops sat in a chair to enjoy herself a drink of water, just when a woman named Rarity walked in, carrying a box.

"Oh Rarity!" Sapphire exclaimed, walking over to greet the fashionista. "Lovely to see you dear!"

"Likewise Sapphire!" Rarity smiled.

In the meantime, Songbird was walking down the hall, when she just happened upon the room where Rara was doing her yoga. However, she wasn't alone.

There in the room, sparring together with Rara, and teaching her kenpō, was none other than Spike himself. Songbird held her bangs up, making sure her eyes weren't deceiving her, but they weren't. Spike was teaching Rara the arts of Kenpō, and surprisingly the young pop star was picking up on it really fast.

Songbird watched as the two were having a good time, sharing some laughs, as they exchanged some blocks and strikes with each other. However, it did nothing to prepare the blonde/brunette with what she just witnessed next.

Rara pulled Spike close, gave him two kisses on the cheeks, and finished it off with a third kiss to the lip, albeit quickly. Nevertheless, Songbird was surprised at Rara's bold action. Songbird watched to see Spike stumbling about the room, courtesy of having his brain fried, indicating how he was caught off guard by Rara, much to her amusement.

When Rara pumped her arm in the air, feeling pleased with herself, Songbird crossed her arms while smirking, 'Not bad, Rara,' She thought. 'Now it's my turn.'

After Spike managed to walk out of the room and into the hall, he turned and fell into the open arms of Songbird, "Careful there Spike," Songbird grinned. "Wouldn't want our favorite fan to go wrecking any more of our sets before the big night."

Shaking out of his shock, Spike finally pulled himself together, "Sorry. Head rush," He replied. "I really don't know what came over me."

"Really?" Songbird asked. "You mean, you normally don't get smooches from other women, besides Rara and her friend Applejack?"

"Well, I-Wait!" Spike turned to Songbird, feeling every amounts of blood draining from him, and his face going pale. "Y-Y-You-How much did you see?"

Songbird chuckled, "The whole thing," She teased. "I must say, you really got Rara all riled up. I've never seen her that passionate over a man before," She giggled, as she brushed a lock of her hair to the side, giving him a glimpse of her eyes shooting a half-lidded stare. "Then again, you are her savior, as well as our friend."

Spike blushed, sharing a few chuckles, before he gently broke up the embrace between himself and Songbird, "Well anyway, I can see you're all getting yourselves warmed up for a dress rehearsal, so I think I should just be going now," Spike was about to leave, when Songbird reached out and stopped him.

"What's your hurry?" Songbird asked, before she walked up close to where her mouth is next to his ear. "We'd love it, if you can stick around," She whispered, her breath blowing over Spike, sending chills all over him.

"A-Are you sure?" Spike asked. "I mean, I don't want to be a bother or anything."

"Nonsense," Songbird replied. "I don't see you as a bother at all. And we would certainly use someone like you for an audience during our dress rehearsal."

"Really?" Spike asked, receiving a nod from the blond-brunette pop star as her response. "Well okay then. Let's go." With that, Spike turns and proceeds to walk down in one hallway.

"Uh, Spike?" Songbird spoke up. "Dress rehearsal is this way," She pointed in the other direction.

Spike blushed, "Oh right, of course," He chuckled sheepishly. 'Nice one stupid,' He berated himself.

On the way, Songbird struck up a conversation, "Spike?" She said, grabbing his attention. "Thank you."

Spike turned to Songbird, looking rather confused, "For what?" He asked, trying to find clues to the puzzle.

"For being a good friend," Songbird confirmed, lifting her bangs up, giving him another show of her beautiful dark sapphire blue eyes. "And for being honest."

Knowing what she was referring to, Spike chuckled as he tried to brush it off, "Oh come on, Songbird," He replied. "I'm sure everybody would say the same thing about those sparkling sapphires of yours."

Songbird frowned, "Actually, very few have ever caught a glimpse of my eyes," Songbird replied. "And when they do, it just doesn't feel good."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Spike asked.

"There's a reason to why I hide my face whenever I perform Spike," Songbird began. "Whenever I'm on stage, I get scared sometimes. And when that happens, I'd often feel as if I'm going to freeze up and be humiliated in front of a whole audience," Spike's eyes widened upon the revelation.

"But whenever my face is behind my bangs, I feel like a whole different person. It made me feel as if I'm wearing a mask, to conceal my emotions, so that no one would see how scared I am when I perform. To put it simply, the mask is my shield, and with it, I feel safe. But at the same time, I feel isolated since no one will ever know how I look, or who I really am. And it doesn't matter now since everybody preferred my face to be concealed," Turning to Spike, Songbird had a look of genuine emotions sparkling in her eyes. "But then you came, and when you told me how beautiful my eyes are.....well, that was perhaps the first time anyone's ever said that to me."

Spike turned to Songbird, "Maybe it's because they didn't get the chance to see the real you," He said. "I'm sorry Songbird. I never knew how frightened you were when you perform. And I always thought you kept your hair that way to look good." Songbird looked away, before Spike placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, "But that's not what I saw last night, at the karaoke club. The way you sang up on stage, you were killing it out there! And most of all, you had your hair up the whole time!"

"That was only because you were in the crowd," Songbird replied.

"That doesn't matter. You shouldn't let your fear stop you from being who you are. You are a talented singer, Songbird. You've got beautiful eyes, face, and most of all, a very beautiful voice. And the way you showed it all last night, you were also very brave. And to be honest, I'd like to see that bravery again, just as I'd like to see the face of my favorite Songbird."

Songbird smiled brightly, cheek blushing a shade of red, touched by Spike's genuine words, "I knew there was something I like about you," She smiled with half-lidded eyes. "And now, I can see my fondness for you has been doubled," Songbird pulled Spike closer, just where their foreheads were touching. Before Spike can react, Songbird beats him to it, clamping her mouth with his, and pulled him close for a full lip-lock make out.

Like before with Applejack and Rara, Spike can feel his whole face burning up again, turning a shade of red, coupled with the sensational jolt that coursed rapidly through his body, making his heart beat faster, and his whole body to shiver. It felt like hours, but Spike melted into the sensation as he returns the passionate make out with Songbird, wrapping his arms around her neck, pulling her close, deepening the kiss.

"My buddy Spike and Songbird," Discord grinned. "And I just killed two birds with one stone."
