Music Is Magic

When morning arrived once more, Rarity had woken up first. She deceided she would make some breakfast for both Leon and her younger sister, Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle and Leon were still asleep so she tried to be fairly quiet and non disruptive as she went downstairs because after all…she does believe in beauty sleep and everypony needs it. She just made a quick veggie salad and made some hand squeezed orange juice then placed the table for 3 ponies. She went back upstairs and awoke her sister first then woke up Leon.
“good morning darling…” she said to Leon
“-yawns- good morning there….oh! and you are... little filly?…” Leon asked the small white coat filly
“I'm Sweetie Belle” Rarity's younger sister said.
“I was unaware that Rarity had a sibling any other related ponies?” Leon asked Rarity
“well there is my father and my mother of course…doesn’t everypony have one?”
“Hmm….well not me…” he said.
“sweetie belle go finish setting up breakfast downstairs would you?”
“ugh! Fine Rarity…” sweetie belle responded irrated.
Once sweetie belle had left rarity continued “Wait…… you don’t have any parents? she asked
“when I was young me and my sister Claire were close…. Real close…. We were like honey is to a bee, me and her were. There wasn’t anything we wouldn’t do together, we flew kites, had races, even baked pies together. She was a musical genius and had a musical cleft and harp as her cutie mark. She sang and created her own songs and everything just came naturally to her. She could find out a way to sing about oranges. Yes life was great even though I was jealous of her I did love her all the same. My flank was bare and I wondered about how my cutie mark was going to look like. Furthermore I was curious as to what it could be. I figured since my sister was musically inclined… then I would have a similar profession along the lines of music, and that gave me faith.
“so wait a second…you and your sister were close….so that means she is….?” Rarity inquired
“she has passed so yes I can’t see her ever again…at least until the afterlife” Leon responded
“I apologize for your loss darling…” Rarity replied
“I have to live with it every day knowing how she died…by me…..” Leon told Rarity
“you killed your sister??!!” Rarity cried out.
“its not like im some phycho killer….it was either me or her….. and I didn’t want it to be me…. I was still young and I could’ve died as well that night but I didn’t…” he said
“so what happened then” Rarity
“ Well on nightmare night years ago when I was younger, everypony was enjoying the night and everything was peachy keen up until a special event happened in my hometown Jetmik. It was a talent show and there were numerous acts on stage before my sister had come up. When my sister’s turn had arrived, She began to play a beautiful tune when ponies started emerging from the ground. Everypony started scrambeling around trying to get to safety because the ponies began feeding on the live ponies turning them into zombies. My sister met up with me and after we ran around for a bit my sister snagged her hoof of a branch. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I ran back to help her but zombies had already got her and she yelled for me to run! So I ran…. and I ran….. and I ran. I hid inside a shack just miles outside of what remained of my town… and I slept over night. In the morning I heard a thump sound like somepony was coming at me and it kept getting closer. And then….my sister appeared around the corner completely zombified. I couldn’t believe it that of all ponies my sister found me! And was going to take me out. So I searched the ground for something to fight back with… I located a ballpoint pen and held it in my right hoof. My sister’s dead body lunged at me and I stabbed her with the pen. Again and again I had to keep hitting her with it… it it…was absolutely terrible….” Leon said
“oh my…..you have quite the story Leon”
“well any how what did you want from me?” asked Leon
“I just made some breakfast…would you like to come down and eat?” Rarity asked
“sure I could use a bite to eat” replied Leon.
They both went downstairs and enjoyed a nice breakfast. After they finished eating Rarity wanted to know if she could try to reintroduce her friends to him once more. He figured he had come off rough and did want to start anew. Sweetie belle asked rarity if she could go see Applebloom to do some more crusading. Rarity said yes, but before she left Leon wanted to ask her a question.
“Wait sweetie belle…”Leon said.
“Oh… yes Leon?” sweetie belle said stopping at the door.
“what do you mean by “crusading?” Leon asked.
Oh , theres this secret society that me, my friend Applebloom, and my other friend Scootaloo make it up and its where we are dedicated to helping all blank flanks find their special talents and get their cutie marks.” Sweetie belle explained.
“oh that’s pretty cool for you to do for each other” Leon replied.
“Anyhoo I’ll see you guys later sweetie belle said as she ran outside”
“well shall we?” rarity asked Leon.
“hmph…..lets go” Leon said with a half smile.
Leon and Rarity both went over to the golden oaks home where Twilight resided in and knocked at the door. Waiting for a good few seconds, her assistant baby dragon, spike opened the door. “hello there rarity I see you have a new friend” he said.
“spike this is Leon…uh…what is your last name anyway?” rarity asked.
“perfectionist” Leon replied.
“Leon….Leon perfectionist.” Rarity said.
“oh nice to meet you” spike said.
Rarity walked on in and as she walked in, Spike said to Leon “better watch out buddy rarity is my girl….”
Leon scoffed.
“is Twilight here Spike? Rarity asked.
“yes she’s just in the bathroom right now” Spike replied.
“well I suppose we just wait then….”Leon said
They waited around for about 5 minutes then they heard a door open and hoofsteps approach down the stairs.
“Oh we have guests? Hello Rarity and….Leon….how good of you to come on over….”twilight said sounding disappointed.
“hello Twilight ”Leon said
“how are you darling? Is something wrong?” Rarity asked Twilight
“well I didn’t anticipate seeing him again but….”Twilight said.
“I came to apologize….for my incompetent behavior.” Leon explained.
“well I suppose its all right I mean you were new after all and I used to be very similar” twilight told Leon. Leon smiled.
“wow he can have a grin on his face! What did you do to him Rarity?! That is so good! Twilight exclaimed.
“ alright, alright, well…. I just….” Rarity started.
“…gave me a comfort I haven’t felt in ages…” Leon finished.
“oh really well that’s cute” twilight responded.
“I think I have feelings for Rarity….. and I think id like to see her and more……. of her friends if I could of course…
“of course you can!” Rarity and Twilight both said in unison” they all laughed in accordinance of felling like they both were seeming telepathic.
“maybe we could go see if Fluttershy wants to hang out?” Leon asked. I think im going to sign up for the talent show and do a cover for “The Real World” by Adam Young and would love to see all of you there to watch me sing it” Leon told both Rarity and Twilight. They both nodded and said they would love to hear it.
