Music Is Magic

While the mares went along with their day, Leon was still in the shop trying to figure if he wanted anything inside.
“You have anything special for sale right now?” Leon asked the shopkeeper.
“Darn tootin we do, we gots banjos and bottles for 15 bits a piece original price 45 bits.
“nothing cheaper then that huh?...... any valuable merchandise then?” he asked
“well we do got this ere geetar for sale made completely outta cedar wood for 95 bits.” The shopkeeper told Leon. Leon decided to purchase the guitar. He could add it to his collection. After he purchased the guitar he went to the park and sat on a bench alone for awhile. After about 15 minutes of just sitting around by himself, he began to feel numb from sitting so he deceided to get up and walk around to get the blood pumping again. He began to start singing thinking he was alone though he was unaware that Rarity was spying on him. The song he was singing was “Angels”
“ive been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged….when a note on the rocking chair… that says im dreaming of the life I once loved…. So wake me if your out there….” Leon sang softly.
Leon teared up a little bit because of the way music moves him. Its almost as if music literally had a voice and just relinquished all sorrow and pain and allows him to feel nothing but happiness and joy pours into his very being. Rarity came out of the bushes she was hiding behind after folding up her therapist chair she was laying on and started Leons way. Leon was walking opposite of Raritys direction and didn’t notice she was coming.
“you have a really nice voice” she said
“whatever” he said back.
“you enjoy singing don’t you? It is what your cutie mark represents after all, right?
“well I suppose you figured out quite a mystery…” he said insultingly
“you don’t have to hide your feelings from me you know” she said “ you can keep singing if you like” Rarity said as she got closer to Leon.
Leon responded ”what are you.... doing?”
“why comforting you of course” Rarity said. She was hugging him like a snuggle buddy. Leon felt as though he couldn’t really hurt her and didn’t want to. This actually felt…..comforting like she said she was doing for him. He felt good about just a hug…..how strange…for him anyhow. He just hugged back and held Rarity in his hooves. They both were quiet for about a minute. Then Rarity said “there! Was that so bad?”
“…..It was nice….” Leon said.
“I knew there was something more about you” she said
Leon remained quiet.
“Tch tch….you are just so difficult”
“Sorry…its just….been so long since I’ve ever even had an idea to allow somepony to talk with me. Be allowed to have a conversation as well.
“I personally feel that you have to talk with others sometimes and share how your feeling…like when im making dresses I always love positive criticism” she told him
“When I’m remixing or creating covers for songs I love publicity” he said to her.
“Well would you want me to make you a surprise outfit for you? I promise it will be most satisfying.
“That would be great” Leon replied.
They both stayed together and took a walk through the park. Enjoying the quiet night the mare and the stallion both talked more about their special talents to each other. Luna was happy as well to see that there were two ponies were enjoying the night as she watched over them as they walked together.
“I really enjoy doing covers….i find making music is difficult…..I can rhyme some lyrics and such….but…. it is really difficult to come up with your own song.” Leon said.
“Well I have songs that have come to me all in good due ordinance just by doing my work” Rarity said.
“That is quite good….. might I hear one of them?” he asked her.
“Hmmm….sure why not?” she replied “ The name of this one is The Type Of Pony Everypony Should Know.
“I’ll be the toast of the town the girl on the go, im the type of pony everypony everypony should know, ill be the one to watch the girl in the flow…. Im the type of pony everypony everypony should know.” Rarity sang. “so… what do you think of that one”
After Rarity finished her song Leon had a smile on his face
“I personally loved it” Leon said. Suppose it’s a bit conceited but…. Your voice is that of an angel. Natural talent is what I enjoy” he said.
Rarity blushed. she was astonished that she was able to be talking to Leon the way she was, expressing her feelings and having him do the same. He was shocked as well that he was able to express himself in a matter that was unlike how he had felt for quite some time. There was a sort of talent show coming up in a couple of days and Leon wanted to join and see what everypony thought of his music or changed music. And it seemed that Rarity wanted to create an outfit for Leon so he would have a fresh new look.
“well hey do you want to go to the carousel with me Leon?”
“why? Isn’t that a shop?…” he replied.
“I own it and work there” she said
“sure I can…” he said.
They both went over to the carousel boutique and felt like it was time for bed. They were both trying to deter exactly how they both can sleep together without it becoming too much. Rarity only had the one bed and Leon was fairly content with sleeping on the ground but Rarity insisted with sharing covers with him. So they wound up going to sleep in the same bed.
