“Ugh, thank celestia its no longer hearts and hooves day” Rainbow Dash whispered to herself as she strode toward the stage for the Ponytones performance “All that sappy stuff gets me feelin’ weird, not to mention seeing EVEYPONY with a special somepony!”
She placed Tank on the ground next to dinky and flew up to take her place in the nearby tree. Along with all the other perks that came with being a Pegasi, having the ever present availability of a “balcony seat” was definitely high on the list.
As the Ponytones started their quartet and as the performance went on something caught Rainbows eyes, or ears rather, something she never thought would happen.
She melted.
“Wow, Big Macs voice is incredible, i… im not even sure how to process this!” She was glad she was in a tree and out of his view so he wouldn’t see her fangirling over his sensual voice. It was as if heaven had open up its gates and his singing was what pulled her into the sweet haven.
After the performance she flew over with the rest of her friends.
“Ponytones! That was truly AMAZING!” Twilight exclaimed
“An’ you sounded better than ever big brother.” Applejack complemented
‘No KIDDING he sound “better than ever”, I think I might have died if where any better than it had been’ Rainbow thought to herself, awestruck.
Big Mac blushed and gave a grin and a small snort. Fluttershy gave an ecstatic look but could be seen quickly leaving the backstage area, hoping nopony would catch her. Sure enough though, Pinkie with her ever seeing eyes noticed.
“Fluttershy, you where on the wrong side of the curtain…” Fluttershy went wall-eyed “you totally missed the show!”
Fluttershy looked to rarity for guidance who’s eyes darted back and forth for a moment before coming up with an excuse.
“Uh… just like a true professional, Fluttershy was backstage making sure everything ran smoothly” Fluttershy felt a wave of relief wash over her as Raritys excuse seemed to work. “And it was perfect.” Rarity whispered to Fluttershy, giving her a wink of approval. Fluttershy perked up even more after this.
“That was fantastic Ponytones!” Zipporwhill’s father said
“My new puppy and I thought it was super duper crazy good” the filly chimed in holding a very dazed puppy.
“Why thank you.” Rarity replied. The filly zoomed to her father, booped him on the nose and landed.
“And we were wondering if would consider performing at my daughter Zipporwhill’s cute-ceañera”
“Will you, WILL YOU?!?” she interupeted excitedly.
Rarity looked more than willing to oblige “Oh we’d love to. When is it? Next week? Next month?”
“TOMORROW!” both ponies exclaimed in excitement
Rarity looked shocked and looked from side to side only to see both Big Mac and Fluttershy looking to her yet again for all the answers. “Oh gracious I’m terribly sorry, that’s just much to last minute.”
“Oh no…” Zipporwhill said defeated as her dad gave a sigh
“Well I understand” they began to sulk away, saddened by the news. Fluttershy noticed how sad Zipporwhill looked and couldn’t just let them leave.
“Oh rarity, we can’t disappoint that sweet little filly” Fluttershy said in a deep voice.
“Are you sure you’re up for it?” rarity asked getting a nod from Fluttershy
The first performance after the grand unveiling of the Ponytones voice of the gods went to the little filly’s cute-ceañera. Time and time again, over and over Fluttershy would beg to continue her performances and rarity couldn’t say no. after all, looking at Fluttershy after every performance; she was absolutely hooked to the limelight even if she wasn’t in the spotlight.
Over the course of the following weeks, rainbow tried her best to at least be within earshot of every performance the Ponytones put on, to hear her new angel. She would do anything to hear him sing. Whether it was flying by the cute-ceañera, or landing on top of the school to get her fill, it just wasn’t enough. She had to make that voice hers.
The very last performance seemed a bit…off. Looking from the crowd Big Macs voice didn’t seem to match up with his lip movements. As the show went on the curtain dividing the stage fell and the curtain swallowed the Ponytones. This revealed a most shocking fact to rainbow, a twist she never saw coming: Fluttershy was the voice! Fluttershy is the one with the voice who rainbow fell in love with. Even stranger still though it didn’t change the way she felt. Sure it was a bit weird feeling this way still even knowing it has been her best friend who was doing all the deep soul singing that soothed her.
Fluttershy stopped singing, stopped the flying she had started out of excitement and fell. All eyes feel upon her and all she could do was bear the brunt of what would surely be wave after wave of ridicule and disappointment. After a few moments nothing was heard but thunderous applause and cheering. To anyone else this would be lovely, a dream come true. For her it was torture, as anxiety set in the ponies gazing down upon her became like spotlights watching her every move. Running. Running back and forth but to no avail. There was NO escape!
She ran off stage in a fit of panic as applejack tried to figure out what the hay had just transpired. In a quick back and forth between brother and sister the girls learned that big mac had trashed his voice doing a turkey call and that Fluttershy took poison joke to fill in while he was unable to sing.
The girls ran to Fluttershys cottage to find she had cured her self-inflicted poison joke and was trying to recuperate for what had happened. Pinkie tried to talk with the shy pony but all she seemed to do was say all the wrong things making Fluttershy run away.
Rainbow flew after her “You totally blew my mind!” she said, trying for get the mare to stop running. She ran into AJ who told her she was great causing her to fly upwards to the top of a building where Pinkie showed up. Again she was no help at all.
“Well, thank you all. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Because I’m never going to sing in front of anypony ever again” and with that Fluttershy started to run again, stopping at the stage where she had first felt the rush that had kept her going this long.
Rarity told Fluttershy she could see how much this all meant to her and that she really shouldn’t be ashamed of what had happened. All things considered everything had turned out quite well. She had gotten a standing ovation for just being herself!
Fluttershy gave her animal friends and the girls a private show, and this time there was no poison joke. Just her, Fluttershy, au natural. And this voice was all the sweeter for Rainbow.
Fluttershy was walking back to her cottage when she was stopped by Rainbow Dash.
“H-hey Rainbow, whats up?”
“Uhh… listen Fluttershy I had something I wanted to tell you but im not sure how to put it. Ive never been good with this stuff”
“Oh? Go ahead, anything you need to say is fine by me.”
“Alright, well something happened recently that honestly is kinda strange. When the Ponytone premiered I was smitten with someone. Or more accurate something. Ya see I had fallen in love with a voice that had set my soul on fire.”
“O…k?” Fluttershy formed a crimson tint to her cheeks
“At first I thought it was Big Mac because of the deep voice but when I found it was really you doing the singing well…” she grabbed
Fluttershy’s hoof “The feelings didn’t stop. I had thought that it was weird that I not only liked a mare but…one of my long time friends as well.”
Fluttershy looked, mouth agape and couldn’t say a word. She was happy because honestly she had harbored these feelings for a while as well.
“Fluttershy?” she pulled her close “With your angelic voice, would you give me a private concert, just you and me?”
“Oh Rainbow, I’ll give you the world more, all you have to do was ask” she pulled her closer closing the gap between their lips.
The end =3
