Music Is Magic
chapter 2 what to do with Leon
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAt the time that Twilight and her friends left, it was about dusk and Leon had to go get a room at the hotel and sleep off the night as well as wonder about what he could do with his music career next. He had blown into Ponyville because he had heard that it was peaceful but he didn’t know they had a welcoming party. Music is what he is all about after all but he was not a social pony he hasn’t been for quite some time. Perhaps another cover? He thought to himself. After all Owl City is his favorite artist to do those for. They are so heartwarming and perfect for dancing. Electronica is what Leon's style of music is and what he enjoys playing on the keyboard. It’s his style. And the dance of the music feeling just lets the emotions fly everywhere.
The night went on by and at about 2:00 A.M Leon got up and walked around Ponyville. He went to a local bridge after about 15 minutes of walking and just leaned over and watched his reflection in the water. Rarity just happened to be up and about herself and deceided to sneak up behind him and attempt to spook him.
“Boo!”
Leon turned around to see the familiar white mare he saw earlier obviously trying to get a rise out of him. He didn’t shudder or even show an ounce that he was shocked or surprised at all.
“…..why are you here?....” Leon asked
“well….. –clears throat- I was just taking a break from making a marvelous dress I am close to finished making and…..well I saw you and…I wanted to try again….talking with you…you know….
Leon stays silent.
“why do you act so shy? You are just afraid to meet others? is that it?"
Leon ignores her.
“Leon please! Will you just talk?
“do you have something important to talk about?” he asked.
“ooohh cant you just pretend to have a heart?” she asked
Leon continues to gaze into the water.
“well you really enjoy being by yourself it seems..... I will go to sleep and finish my project in the morning….suppose you get some rest to?” she asked.
“don’t worry about me….” He said. “ill do what i do whenever”
“alright then… good night darling”
Leon thinks to himself “what is with this white mare? i think she has just got the hots for me..... Im not even sure why to be honest"
After Rarity left Leon decided to go get some rest for tomorrow and went back to the hotel to do that.
Now with the sun shining and it being a nice day in Equestria, everypony was doing all sorts of things normally as a society generally runs. Someponys always doing something. Leon woke up and ate a few apples before leaving his hotel room. Once he was out and about he went to the local musician store Hoofin Narty Musical Marty. Leon had a feeling that it was not the most ideal music shop but he went in to see what they had for stock.
While Leon was doing some shopping the other ponies had their daily activities as well.
“Spike! Spike!” Twilight shouted.
Twilight was at her golden oaks home or also known as the library.
“yes twilight?” spike replied as he came running to her attention.
“Isn’t winter coming soon?” she asked.
“umm…lets see here…”
Spike pulls out a calendar and checks the date
“it is…….november 26th so yeah….december’s right around the corner.
“only a few days left up until the month when snowfall comes” she said
“well im going out… Spike hold the fort until I come back”
“ok you can count on me” he promised her.
Twilight just wandered around ponyville and at some point met with rarity just like yesterday. They greeted each other and both thought they should go see what fluttershy was up to. They both went over to her cottage and knocked to see if she was there. It took moments but after that quick period of time she answered and said hey.
“How are you doing fluttershy?” both twilight and rarity asked.
“I’m doing fine…..just fine…..um do you girls want a cup of tea or something to refresh yourselves? Surely the walk must have made you somewhat parched.
Rarity and twilight agreed to come over and hang out for a bit and share a cup of tea with fluttershy. They talked about how their normal lives are going which is generally good with some issues, but rarity wanted to share a particular piece that she was thinking about.
“So girls…. That pony we sorta met yesterday….i met him last night while I was out strolling around….and well….. I feel like I wanna be close friends with him…..somehow….”rarity explained.
“oh Leon right?” Fluttershy asked.
“yes he was an interesting character wasn’t he?” twilight asked.
“well I do understand he seems a bit rough around the edges including the surface, but there has to be a soft spot somewhere deep inside of him. I’m sure of it”
“that may be…though he’s seems pretty content with being an introvert that is clear as day” fluttershy said. I know shy when I see it. Fluttershy smiles -squee-
Well……his cutie mark is that of a piano…..maybe he has refined tastes like Octavia? Or perhaps closer to that of DJ-pon-3?.... we enjoy doing our own songs do we not girls? Rarity asked.
Well we all have had our own song….mine being I Have To Find A Way and that was a quick and emotional song… twilight said.
“mine was So Many Wonders and that was years ago but there have been others… fluttershy said.
I have done a few myself though I shall mention the one when you girls were getting your dresses for the gala just 2 months ago. The Art Of The Dress. Rarity said.
Hmmm….none of us are well accustomed to ponys who don’t want help and this one doesn’t really live up to the values that ive learned here in ponyville. Twilight said.
“that doesn’t mean he cant though…” fluttershy said.
“fluttershy is right! I mean after all if discord was able to be reformed to being good then I don’t see how its impossible to get him to come out of his shell. And speaking of discord….-sighs- my poor dress…” rarity said.
Twilight and fluttershy both agreed. They both had to admit that they wanted to befriend the new pony just as much as rarity did. The only problem was that he seemed pretty difficult to break any barriers with. It’s like he said first impressions can really matter.
“well fluttershy…thank you for your hospitality but I feel like I should be going” twilight said.
“ok then… see you around twilight” fluttershy responded
Fluttershy and rarity both waves their hooves goodbye towards twilight.
“well I suppose we will see what we can come up with and go from there rarity said.
“well maybe since he’s into music I think a musical would do just fine personally…” fluttershy said.
“and that’s just it. We can only just assume what might get him to warm up to us” rarity responded. I swear its like when I went to the gala for blueblood its like how I felt for him, but he just seems different. also music must be in his soul though he’s just not expressing it” Rarity said.
“well maybe winter wrap up would do?” fluttershy suggested.
“it depends if he’s even staying for awhile… I still don’t really know why he came here in the first place perhaps just to visit? Winter Wrap Up is still a month away. We will need to brainstorm a bit more perhaps and come to a final conclusion. Talking would work and we can keep attempting but maybe not much progress is sure to be. Anyhow though….thank you for the cup of tea fluttershy it was perfect” rarity said and then smiled. “but I must get back to the carousel and finish up a few orders I promised to have done by sunset for a client”
“ok bye rarity” fluttershy said. “ill see you later…”
Rarity said good bye and then left fluttershys cottage.
