Scootaloo then looked at the piece of paper and turned to Rainbow dash.

"Really Rainbow, concerts are boring. I mean do you want to go?" Scootaloo then flopped on the cloud waiting for a reply. Rainbow dash then looked at her and smiled.

"Silly filly, Don't worry it will be fun." Rainbow dash rubbed Scootaloo's hair."Besides, Bon Bon will be making candy for the audience to have during the show." Rainbow dash smiled at the filly who just nodded and looked down at the ground below.

"Come on Scoots cheer up! Twilight said it was important for us to see the show, and I know you wouldn't wanna disappoint a princess." Rainbow looked at scoots hoping to get a smile out of her, but she knew that was Pinkies job. Before the filly could speak Rainbow interrupted.

"Oh wait I forgot something, shoot!" Rainbow dash then flew over to a cloud a few feet away and zipped right back to Scootaloo's side. In her hoof lay a necklace that had a gold chain just Scootaloo's size, on the chain was a gold ring with a glass hollow ball connected by just a few strands of gold. Inside the glass ball was a small purple tint of light shinning on Rainbows hoof. Scootaloo was in awe as Rainbow dash put the necklace around her neck. The second she did that a magic aura fused the two ends together so she couldn't take it off. The neckless then glowed even brighter then before, engulfing the cloud she was sitting on with a purple hue of light. Suddenly right in front of her, clouds shot left and right molding together faster then Rainbow dash could fly. A scooter shaped cloud was formed in front of her waiting for her to get on, Scootaloo couldn't believe her eyes.

"Wh-what is this thing!?" Scootaloo looked apon the neckless laying on her chest.

       Rainbow dash was happy to see the filly was excited about the gift, she then explained to her how the necklace worked (how it grabs the nearest clouds to form together a scooter, so she could fly all  around Equestria.) Scootaloo looked up to Rainbow dash tears forming in her eyes.

"Thank you, thank you for everything!" Just at that moment she rushed over and gave rainbow dash a hug.

" I am happy you like it, now let's go see a show,"

                                                                                        ****

        The theater was musty and full of ponies walking and talking to each other.  The main room was full of red chairs covered in red fabric, each of the chairs were in a row leading to a path covered in lights to indicate where they were when the show started. At the door Bon Bon was handing out free treats to everypony, all were the same. One for each pony. Everypony  ate them finding there assigned seats. When Rainbow dash a Scootaloo walked in they realized that there were not many ponies here, but Scootaloo got a glimps of the crowed around her hmm that is odd I don't recognize any pony in here. Even more, not a single filly to be seen. Scootaloo just ignored her own concerns and followed Rainbow dash.  Once they entered Bon Bon handed them a piece of candy, not making eye contact. Rainbow dash popped hers in without thinking, Scootaloo did the same. As they were getting to there seats Scootaloo noticed that none of the ponies here seemed to be all that excited for this show. Was this performance mandatory? But if it was I would see a lot more ponies in here, heck I would at least see one I knew. Just as Scootaloo started to ponder, the lights started to dim, all the chattering slowly went silent as all of the eyes started to glue on to the stage in front of them. A single light turned on shining on a mint colored unicorn who can be no one but Lyra heartstrings. As the mint colored pony started to go to the center of the stage she gave a warm smile to the crowed as she sat down on a stool which was set to the middle of the stage. Before she grabbed her lyre she started to speak.

"Thank you everypony, this means a lot to me. My good friends have told me that I was a great player and I should preform for every pony, well here I am." Lyra pulled a pink colored bow tie from the floor. " This was given to me from a friend for good luck, I hope this works." She slowly put the tie around her neck and grabbed her lyre. " I am here to present Sleeping In The Hands."

     As she started to play, her music was spot on. Her cords were correct and her plucks blended really well to the tune. It almost sounded like a lullaby. Scootaloo started to nod off but quickly jerked her head up, she knew it was really rude to sleep during these things. As she struggled to stay awake she realized that Rainbow dash had already nodded off and was leaning to the far left side. As Scootaloo looked around, she noticed that most of the other ponies had fallen asleep too or we're struggling to stay awake. With all of her must she tried to keep here eyes open, but she couldn't. Her underbody had gone num and was slowly going up her spine, her head started to fog up and was being weighed down by sleepiness. She then realiesed that this just wasn't natural to just fall in a deep sleep this fast. Scootaloo pondered as fast as she could before sleep could take her. She leaned over and stared at her wrapper which was laying on her lap, The candy! It must have been coated in something! Sleep was taking her fast, as she pulled her head up one last time to look at Lyra who's head wasn't looking at her instrument, but looking strait at Scootaloo, her eyes had a devilish look, her mouth was stretched by her villainous grin. But poor Scootaloo didn't see it before sleep finally got to her and she fell to the ground unconscious , and unaware.
