Music Is Magic

They left Twilights library and went back to Fluttershys cottage just like the previous day. Upon arriving, Fluttershy was in her yard feeding some acorns to some chipmunks.
“Hello again Fluttershy” Rarity said “how is your day going?”
“Hello everypony….I’m fine” Fluttershy responded. “Feeding my favorite animals as usual…what brings you here?” she asked
“Well…I was wondering if you wanted to come watch me at the talent show….coming up tomorrow” Leon asked.
“Umm…. sure I don’t see why I wouldn’t….”Fluttershy responded.
Fluttershy offered for them to go into her house and talk inside. They all agreed and went on in.
“So your going to sing what song?” fluttershy asked Leon.
“It’s a cover…for the artist Owl City and im still debating about whether or not I’ll do “The Real World” or “possibly Butterfly Wings.” Leon said. “They’re both so wonderful and soothing”
“Oh great I can’t wait to hear and see whichever song you decide to do” Fluttershy said.
“Well I’ll have it figured out soon…I can do both songs pretty well In my professional opinion…” Leon said.
“ooh that’s right! I need to make you something most fashionable and presentable for your appearance darling….” Rarity said. “I’m going to cut our conversation short and head back to the boutique and get started right away. I’ll see you all later.
Leon,Twilight, and Fluttershy all said goodbye and Rarity left off in a hurry.
“So… how is everypony doing today anyhow?” Twilight asked.
“Im doing alright” Leon said. “im just ready for tomorrow”
“well life isn’t bad for me either” Fluttershy answered.
“that’s good to hear….” Said Twilight. “its important to tell of problems your having and I’ve got nothing major….just that I still have to write a letter to Princess Celestia telling what I’ve learned about friendship”
“I’m warming up to friendship myself” Leon said.
“Well you learned something about friendship haven’t you?” Twilight asked.
“Umm….have i?” he asked.
“You tell me…” Twilight said. Twilight
“ well yes…but what is the meaning of being friends? The true value of being in a friendship? She asked Leon.
“ you get magical powers?” he asked her.
“no silly…friendship is where you look out for each other when they need it and also tell it to them straight when they are wrong. You have to enjoy that persons company as well to feel such immense energy. Friendship truly is magic. Fluttershy explained.
Leon and Twilight were both shocked as to how well she described how friendship truly was. Leon had a suggestion similar to the magic piece of friendship, with just a different subject.
“ You believe in friendship being magic but…..can music be magic as well? I mean… if you have ever done any sort of …. Singing before, surely you must feel the vibe that it gives you” Leon said “but friendship is really important, and I think I realize that now to be honest”
“To answer your first question I personally feel that music is another type of power that emits in a louder way to express how you feel, with more of a entertaining but sincere way” Twilight expressed to him. And furthermore I never thought I needed help from anypony similarly to that of you until I was given an assignment to make friends and be true to them. Being real and not fake is really important.
“I agree with Twilight, music is a different way of expressing your feelings through tune instead of words. And theres nothing worse then not being yourself.” Fluttershy said
“and yes…we are no song artists but we enjoy to sing songs every now and again” Twilight pitched in.
“hmm… that is good to get some feedback on what you two view friendship and music in your opinions… and telling me some good values of a true friend and what its like to be one….i hope I can live up to be the ideal friend…” Leon said.
Fluttershy and Twilight had faith in him. They believed he could do it. after all it only took a simple forced hug from rarity for him to see what you could have or live without. The choice is completely in your hooves as a pony.
“you can do whatever you choose to do, though with every choice there is always an impact, negative or positive but choices are a big part of everything we do we are constantly making choices. Eveypony is” Twilight explained.
“I suppose I need to make smarter choices from now on…” Leon said.
“well nothing you have done is that dumb we just got off on the wrong start…” Twilight said offered a hug.
“hmm…. Sure im optimistic…” Leon said.
Twilight and Leon hugged and felt that a stronger bond had been made. Fluttershy then offered one for Leon. Leon accepted and realized that he never felt so content…
After all was said and done Twilight and Leon said goodbye to Fluttershy and started off to their homes. During the walk they both talked about how it was a good talk and how good of a time they had. They both talked about upcoming times when they could start seeing each other more often. Clearly Rarity and Leon had feelings for each other so…Twilight was just wanting to see more of him as just friends. When the met at the cross pathways they both said goodbye and went home in separate directions.
Leon went back to Rarity’s carousel which I guess he could consider it home since she was very welcoming to him. He went up to the door and knocked. rarity answered him and said” oh come on in dear your positively drenched!”. Leon was so content he forgot to get to shelter fast because it was raining. He was really lost in his own world.
“Here let me get you something to wear to warm you up…” she said
“Just a simple towel shall do just fine…” he said.
“Oh don’t be absurd! Even men need to be pampered all the same as girls do… just let me take care of you….” She said.
“All right then…” he said.
Rarity got a pink robe and slippers because she didn’t have anything more towards male attire for spa treatments. In addition to not having male attire she also just loved this look and the robes because they were so comfy! She got a hoof massager with water in it and set up a comfortable spot on the recliner. She then went back to him and asked him if she could wash his vest. He had no reason to argue. Sure it was very valuable because of sentimental purposes but it did stink like that of a mule. So he handed it over to her and she asked him to follow her. He followed her into a room with a fireplace and soft romantic music playing. The room had candles alight to light up the room. Rarity said I got you these robes….they are my personal favorite….” She said
“I can deal with them im sure….” Leon replied.
Leon put on the robes and then asked “very fasionable huh?”
Rarity laughed then said you look tense, why don’t you relax for a bit on the recliner? I got a little homemade spa for you dear”
Leon smiled then got into the spa treatment and went “oooooohhh…..this is relaxing….”
“isn’t it? You just relax for a while and I’ll show you your new outfit for the performance tomorrow once I finish it and touch it up a bit.
“Rarity….. thank you for such good hospitality….i owe you whatever it is you want….”
“Well….since your offering….” She stopped at the doorway and came back to him. “I want you to close your eyes and be still.” Leon did as she asked and then suddenly felt Rarity’s lips onto his. He was somewhat shocked and yet still enjoyed it. He started kissing back. They both had quite the session for about a minute that seemed like it just wouldn’t end which Leon just enjoyed the feeling. Obviously Rarity must have been enjoying it since she came onto him. Rarity then relinquished her lips from Leon’s and told him she had to get back to work. He said ok then was even more relaxed and felt very strange at the same time. Was he feeling that he was in love with this pony? Or just a hormone spurt perhaps? He wasn’t a young filly or teen anymore, so he wasn’t really sure what to think. He just relaxed and enjoyed the spa treatment. After about 40 minutes Leon felt his hooves getting pruney so he got out of the chair, removed the pink robes and put them on a coat rack. He went out into the hallway and down the stairs to the showroom. Rarity was still working on the dress and was singing a song softly…”
“Stitch by stitch….stitching it together….Leons suit… gotta make sure it looks finer then some roots…. Perhaps a bit of golden loot… to see if it really is a hoot… Laying about the soily ground… seeing that it fits all around…I’m stitching Leons suit…
Leon came up behind her and said “Rarity?”
“oh my!” rarity exclaimed.
“sorry…didn’t mean to startle you…”Leon said apologetically.
“oh no your fine I just didn’t expect you to be here at this moment…” she said
“ I could never get bored of listening to that voice…. But anyway… should I leave? For now at least?” he asked her.
“no no no no no….. your fine… and thank you for saying so…you are most flattering Leon… but anyhow…I wanted to show you your new outfit! Its all done!”
Leon looked at the outfit she had made for him it was a white vest with gold trimmed silk, with a blue shirtsewn into the vest with a gold tie. The pants matched the shirt, casual business formal wear appropriate for quite a flashy and stuck out appearance, and black shiny wing tips for shoes.
“do you like it?” Rarity asked.
“I absolutely love it….its just…..perfect…..” Leon said amazed at the wonderous piece of work he was gazing at.
“I used the rest of my rare hand made golden silk…but its worth the while I believe” Rarity said.
“I personally –yawns- am getting tired….should I sleep on the ground tonight?” Leon asked.
“Och tch….if you really want to…..even if you try ill see to it that you sleep in a proper bed and I have only one right now.
“There is Sweetie Belles bed….” He retorted
“Ooh… its too small...and anyway shes sleeping right now so pffft!” Rarity said. Your stuck with me” she said. Both Leon and Rarity smiled they got into the covers and snuggled up close. “This bed is so much warmer with somepony else in it with me….even with three layers of blankets six layers of sheets two additional padded layers and…well the bedskirts don’t matter but four bedskirt coverings “
“they stared into each others shiny eyes and then Leon gave her a peck on the cheek. She gave him one on the mouth then said good night darling….then closed her eyes trying to drift off to sleep.
“good night…my dear…Rarity Leon said then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep”
