The following morning Leon had woken up before Rarity did. He went downstairs and was fairly excited for the talent show today. It seemed more appropriate in his opinion, to call it a concert but still was considered a talent show nonetheless. He wanted to see what his new outfit looked like on him so he changed into it and looked at himself with the mirror in the showroom floor room. Sweetie Belle walked in and said “oh hey there Leon!”
Leon jumped a little bit because that was unexpected, and he was checking himself out in the mirror pretty thoroughly.
“Oh… hey Sweetie belle…” he replied.
“Your looking nice…im assuming Rarity made that?” she asked Leon
“Yes she did and im fairly impressed…” he said. “what are you doing down here so early, early bird?”
“I’m always awake fairly early, so I was going to make you and Rarity some breakfast. She explained.
“How thoughtful” Leon replied. “Seems like both of you like making others food”
Sweetie belle left into the kitchen and Leon got undressed out of his outfit. He was satisfied enough about how he looked in the outfit. He decided to go out for a walk and get some air. He walked for about 10 minutes then came back to the Boutique. Rarity had woken up it seemed because he could hear water running upstairs as he re-entered the house. Also, a smell of burnt food of some sort seemed to fill the air. Leon went into the kitchen to see what Sweetie belle had made for breakfast. She had made eggs bread and orange juice and had it placed on the dining room table….but it was burnt…all of it…including the juice.
“You burnt juice?” Leon thought to himself. “How is that even….?”
“Breakfast…..is served my good stallion” she said.
“umm..sweetie belle…” Leon started.
“yes siree?” she said.
“I can’t… I mean its impossible for me to…..”
Sweetie belle had the puppy dog eyes upon her face and Leon reconsidered what to say.
“I’ll get started on these right away!” he said.
“Tell me how they taste” she said.
Leon sat down and started eating the eggs. They were rockhard and the only possible way to eat them seemed by either swallowing them whole or letting it dissolve in your mouth. Leon chose option number two. After a minute or so his saliva had dissolved enough of the hardened scrambled eggs to choke down. He said ”Delicious….little crispy though”
“Yeah I figured as much….I’ll try to get it right next time, but I feel that its better to overcook then undercook. Sweetie Belle expressed her opinion.
“They’re still good though you did just fine Leon said smiling.
Sweetie Belle left the kitchen and Leon threw up in the garbage bin nearby him. Rarity walked in and said “ oh my….are you ok Leon?”
“Ugh…I’m ok…just need my stomach pumped…wait I already did that” he said.
“Are you sure your alright?” she asked him.
“I’m fine….” He replied.
“Well then what happened?” Rarity asked.
Leon told Rarity about the breakfast and how well Sweetie belle cooked them. Rarity apologized about her sister. Leon told her it was alright and that it was very kind of her. Leon had to prepare for the talent show. It was only a few hours until he had to get on stage and sing… which song did he want to do? He was still trying to determine. Rarity suggested that he get dressed up for it and he did. He went into the changing room and got into his spiffy new clothes. He came out and Rarity said “fabulous darling” Leon thanked her for the compliment and then went out to go get set up for his song.
When he arrived he could see all sorts of people who were here a D.J ,a cello player, a few little fillys,and a few other ponies. Hmm…well this is it…which song to pick? Decisions…decisions…
“He went to the sign up sheet and put his name on it. He was the last participant it seemed since there was already 15 names on the list. He went over to the D.J and told her what song he needed played which after thinking was going to be... Butterfly Wings. He felt that song was going to be one that would be very soothing and cute. He went into the crowd of folks and he located Fluttershy, Twilight and Rarity all together closer to the back. He went through the crowd to meet with them.
“Hey friends!” Leon said
“Hello there Leon, excited? Twilight asked.
“Hi… How are you doing?” Fluttershy asked.
“Hello there again” Rarity said.
“I am excited and feeling great…” Leon replied.
The performance was going to start shortly because they were just about ready to begin so Leon said he will talk more after it was over. Leon went up on the stage and waited for every other pony to have their performances. The acts and music was certainly worthwhile seeing and listening too. The waiting just made Leon more eager to play and sing. Once his turn came up after everypony had shown their things, he grabbed a keyboard and brought it out to the stage. He took a gander at the audience and plugged it in and got it set up. He could hear the 3 ponies he knew cheering him on and so ready to hear the song live. It wasn’t an original song of his and he always has wanted to create his original music, though he felt it was hard enough to learn how others do their music and he just has kept doing covers of other artists so he can still both play music and sing. He began to play on the keyboard and the intro of his song came into play. He made a extended version of the introduction which allowed him to play a bit before he started singing
“Don’t remind me…..that some days I’m a windshield….and other days im just a lucky bug…
I began to sing part of the intro and started to get into it once it picked up.
“so dusty the starlight…..close your eyes and cuddle close to me…. Ill try not to wake you… or make a sound while your dozing off…. But in the night should the high tide sweep me away from you…”
My good friends were rooting for me in the front and I could see them where I was standing. I suppose they moved up and I just didn’t realize they were up front instead of semi back anymore.
“Whenever we leave the ground….and take to the sky…. I’ll smile as im gazing down….cuz ive always wondered why…we wont need feathers to fly…”
The song ended and I got a hoof of applause. I was happy to know that the ponies enjoyed it and wasn’t too bored of my voice. So I went offstage and met with my friends. Then mayor mare had a quick announcement. “Everypony listen up… it’s been another fantastic talent show this year and we have seen some great performances tonight. We want to thank the ponies who participated for showing us some interesting talents and the ponies who were in the audience just remember… its ponies like you who allow stars of the show to shine. This years talent show is now…over! But don’t worry, we are already planning and getting more people signed up for next year with even more interesting acts.
“That song was amazing…you have great vocals” Fluttershy said.
Rarity teared up a bit “Sorry…that was just a pretty song…” she said.
“Very nice performance” Twilight said to Leon.
“Thank you everypony and don’t tear up my darling…” he said to Rarity
“They’re tears of joy, not sorrow” she replied.
“So do you intend on staying around Ponyville a bit longer Leon? Twilight asked.
“How could I leave such great ponies that I met here in Ponyville?” he asked. “of course ill stay”
“well are you going to reside in hotels?” asked Fluttershy.
“umm…” Leon said
“nonsense!” Rarity shouted “he’s always welcome at the Boutique….my home is your home sweetie” she said smiling. Leon smiled back.
“and you can come over to my place anytime you would like” Twilight pitched in.
“same with me” said Fluttershy.
“your all such wonderful friends but I couldn’t possibly impose…” Leon told them.
“oh its no trouble at all for me darling…” said Rarity.
Both Fluttershy and Twilight said basically the same thing. They all started heading home and once again said good bye on the 3 way pathway. Winter wrap up is going to be coming soon “Rarity said…
“And I can’t wait for the snowfall to start falling…”Leon expressed. “There is nothing better then a wintery wonderland… so I’ll enjoy it when it comes…” Leon said.
“It is a pretty fun season…isn’t it?”
“Very much so…” He said.
“Well theres the carousel...” she said. Guess its time for us to go home for now… shall we? Maybe I can teach you a few other things about my special talent over time.” She offered.
“I suppose it is…and perhaps I can teach you a little more about my understanding of music and the magic that it truly is. “Leon said. “if you want of course…”
Rarity said “Of course honey I would love to learn…”
“I still don’t understand why you would want me after my past…. I fail to see why. . Leon said.
“Hmm…its probably because I just enjoy your company….you are a pretty amazing pony Leon… Rarity said then kissed him on the cheek. “you have the voice of an angel as well”
Leon blushed then gave her a kiss. “Alright then, my heart and yours…are one then sweetheart.” Leon said. They hugged each other then held hooves until they got back to the carousel. After that they went on inside and continued life as most everypony in Ponyville would.
