Diablo's journey

One Day mother Tried to Teach Diablo how to use the Diabolo properly.  Diablo saw her. Her spins. Her turns. How the Diabolo glided so gracefully across the string. How it bounced from one stick to another, effortlessly.  Like sixth sense. “ you see, my Diablo, if you master this. You can headline our performances!”

Diablo stared, confused at the Diabolo. “ mother, What is a headline performances?”

Mother kneeled down to her filly. “ my dear Diablo, you will be leading the show some day. Though you can only walk. And just about talk. Soon you will grabbing the plant by the stalk. I know you can handle that.”

She handed her Daughter her sticks. And placed the Diabolo on the floor.

“ now I want you to pick up that Diabolo from the floor.”

Diablo hit the Poor Diabolo with her sticks, in attempts to please her mother for moving the Diabolo. “I Did it.” Sneered Diablo, cheekfully. “ do I have to do it. I do not want to do it.” Exclaimed the small filly.  “ you have to do it. For the circus.” Replied her mother.

The small filly protested. But she had no choice. This pony was the future of the circus. No circus means no fun. And that would have made Diablo more sad than anything in the world. “ can we have music? I would feel a lot better if there was music, mother.” Said Diablo

“ how about I sing to you? Start with the Diabolo on the floor. And you must have your Diabolo in your string by the time I finish, Fair?” Bartered the mother.

“okay..” Said Diablo, With the Diablo on the floor, as requested.

Mother began to hum,

Mother behan to sing,

Soon enough, Diablo was flapping her wings. The song’s beat went in time with her fluters. The music was so soft, that mother made no stutters.

“ My small Filly, My young filly.~

I Believe in you, that you’ll bring this circus to gold, ~

And out of shame.~

For the times come to prove now.~

What we are worth.~

That we are the Lunacy’s~

And we are Equestria circus~”

“ mother.” Diablo stopped. “ hm..hm- yes, my Diablo?” mother said.

“is the Circus in danger?” Diablo asked. “ oh, no, of course not. With your help we will be fine.

“ then why are you singing that song?” Pushed Diablo. “it’s just, we ..” Mother began to Stutter. Which is an unknown skill. Mother walked away. Out of the room. Why did she do that? Diablo wondered.

Well. I must continue to practice. Let me go find Hoops And Warlock.  Thought the filly. As she stepped outside into the glow of the morning sun.

Meanwhile. There was her mother and her father, Aqua and Velocity Lunacy.

“How are we looking, Velocity..” Murmured Aqua.

“Where have you been? I’ve just finished calculating the Bills we owe to the landlord for setting up here. It’s not looking good. We’re going to have to fully sell out if we want to  Scrape past the bills.”

This was a Dark Day, for the Lunacy Family.
