Music in our Hearts

That night, I put a gun to my head, and thought of pulling the trigger, because I had cancer sadness.

But did I?

Yes, I did. And the last thing I saw before it made contact with my skull was Ditzy screaming. I died, and saw a bright light. It was far away, and surrounding me were memories. I walked past them and walked towards the light. However, an earth mare with shiny blue hair and golden eyes blocked my way and told me, "Oh no, you don't. You made a promise. Remember?" I guess I forgot to mention my biological mother was the late singer Sapphire Shores. Suddenly, a memory appeared in front of me, showing Ditzy and I eating muffins and talking. The sound turned on, and I heard Ditzy from the memory say "Do me this favor, please, HB." I had said "What is it?" And she asked me to teach the ponies of Equestria about the music in our hearts. I nodded, and said "And please. Call me Henry."

The memory disappeared, and my mother said "You were born with a purpose, and last time I checked, it wasn't to kill yourself the second things went down bad." She had a point, but I simply tried to walk past her. She materialized in front of me again and yelled, "LISTEN TO ME!!!" I stopped trying to fight my way to the light and instead started to listen.Look, I know that your adoptive mother died, but son, don't kill yourself. Your promise must be kept at all costs. You thought such yourself." She said to me. She then said, "Besides, you have a child to help Ditzy take care of, and she can't do it alone." She started to laugh, then said "Did you even think before you bought the gun and shot yourself with it? Now, you turn around yourself around and live your life."

I smiled and said, "You know what, mom? You're right. See you, mom. I'll be joining you when the time is right." I turned around and ran back to the memories, and let them absorb me. I closed my eyes, then opened them, and when I did, I saw Ditzy crying over me. I put my hand over her head and brought her in for a hug. She tackled me with a hug. Then, she let go and said, "I thought you were dead." Nope," I said. "Got quite the headache, though." I then smacked one side of my head and the bullet came back out. I rubbed my temples and said "That's better."

The next day, I patched up the hole in my head with some Neosporin and an ace bandage. I put on a hat to walk around without getting embarrassed (or looking stupid). I went to the mansion to see Vinyl and Octavia and made songs to finish the album. When all was done, We invited everypony in Ponyville to a concert I was going to have in the backyard of the mansion. Ditzy even joined me for a few songs since some required a duet. I didn't even know she could sing so well. At the end of the concert, I looked inside the crowd and saw my real mother and my adoptive mother. Both of them must've been visiting from heaven, because they both winked, and vanished into thin air.

I grinned, and took a bow. I said into the mic "And that's what the Music in our Hearts means. When music  is shared between hearts, it brings us together. It...makes us who we are. And when you learn the music that's in your heart, you can do anything." Everypony cheered, and I walked off the stage.
