Diablo's journey
His very first show.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDiablo and her father had returned from school in what felt like a hurry. Speeds that small Diablo had not felt before. Flying fast is very fun. Perhaps the little Pegasus could fly very fast herself someday. Father dropped Diablo and hurried behind the curtains inside the tent. She could hear rustles of material and clothes being put on. Come to think of it, Diablo could hear an awful lot of talking coming form the main performance area.
Diablo wondered in a daze towards the curtains, hearing buzzes and voices. Do we have guests around?
“Diablo?” Came a squeak from behind her
Hoops was there, He looked worried. “ Diablo, I’m performing for the first time. I’m scared.” Diablo Thought for a moment, her eyes scanned the floor in hopes of finding some sort of reply. There is a flat silence, nothing could be heard except the murmurs behind the curtains.
“Diablo?” Came the voice again. She looks up. “Hoops.” Begins the blue Pegasus. “you don’t have to worry, please pretend I am with you okay? I’ll watch from the bars…”
“the bars?” replied a confused Hoops. “ yeah. The bars. All the way up there!” pointed Diablo, up to the metal bars that held up the tent. “ and I’ll tell you what, I’ll wave at you too” Diablo smiled.
Hoops chucked. “Alright then, Have faith in me, Diablo!” He Chuckled. “oh, Shoot, that’s my que!” He interrupted his laughter. As the crowds roars Stared to bellow louder.
“I have faith in you! Good luck!” Diablo said As Hoops went through the curtains, Her gaze left the arena, And she looked up to the nearest Set of bars. “hm… I won’t be able to reach if I flutter… oh, The Diabolo!” She Exclaimed, as she glanced to it leaning up against a spare rack of lights. She grabbled the Two sticks and slung them over a pole, She shuffled her way up, And re-slung them quickly. She managed the flutter along a more Horizontal Set of bars. She saw the audience over the top of the tent walls and bounced over a few more so she could see hoops.
He looked nervous, Very nervous. His hoop was sat lazily on his hips and a few linked together over his arm. Music began to play. Happy music, jolly music. Diablo began to sway to the music, it was so enticing!
Hoops Reared onto his back legs and slowly swung his hips around, Motioning the hoop into a circular movement around him.
Soon enough the music began to pick up its pace, and so did hoops, His hips began to swing faster, And the hoop began to look like a disk because of the speed.
Diablo began to hum and sway to the music, and hoops didn’t look to nervous anymore, in fact he was smiling!
What Diablo didn’t realise that with her swaying, she was loosening nuts and bolts on the poles, and soon enough the structure around her began to move.
“Wah.. oh!” She panicked to herself quietly, as she would not shout. She frantically turned around and Attempted to fix the screws. “ Father, other, help.” She whispered powerfully at the people bellow, a string from the tent came loose and the sheet flapped about in the night air, she couldn’t climb down the structure now and look for help in fear she would bring down the whole tent.
She saw the gap in the tend that had just formed and fluttered out of it. She bounced off the tent’s walls and hit the floor. “ Nyah.. Oh. My. “ she moaned as she recovered from falling a few feet. “ Mother, Father Help!” she shouted louder, since she was outside now”
“Diablo, what in Equestria are you doing here on the floor!” Mother said
“I.. Tent.. Poles are.. loose, gonna.. fall. “ She panted.
“Diablo, What did you do.”
Diablo caught her breath. “ I. I Was on the Bars, and they loosened!”
DONG
Could be heard from inside the tent, Mother didn’t reply, She just Galloped into the tent. Diablo got up and dashed in behind her, One of the poles had fallen, luckily not in the performance arena. Father grabbed the pole and temporally wedged the pole back into its place while he went to get his tools.
“Diablo. You are a disaster” Her mother huffed at her in Disbelief.
“Um. Hoo hoo..” Diablo chucked nervously, in attempts to mend the situation.
