Pinkie Pie's POV
The final Union: 1
”All I really wanted, was to be adored!” Aria Blaze complained, where she was sitting alone on a share in the cafeteria.
“Wait; if that is all you wanted, I know I can help you with that!” I pointed out.
“We were doing pretty well at it, before you came into the picture and destroyed us!” she stabbed.
“You do know that musicians can be both adored and even worshipped around here, right?” I pointed out.
“Just for singing?” she retorted.
“That is exactly the point. If you can sing, or play in a band, people will be flocking around you. If you are really good, they are literally eating out of your hand!” I promised.
“But, but.. I don’t have a group, and I can’t even sing!” she sobbed.
“I have a group, and if you really want to; maybe I could help you to join. I am sure I could make a place for you, if you wanted me to!” I prompted.
“But, but.. I can’t even sing, now!” she then continued.
“I think we could teach you to sing, and play an instrument as well!” I suggested.
“And you mean to say that I could be good enough to stand side by side with your friends, too?” she inquired.
“With some effort on your part, you could be good enough for Vinyl Scratch to amplify your voice via a microphone, yeah. Most certainly, silly!” I pointed out with certainty.
“Oh yeah, she sure is a wizard in her field, from what I have seen. She single handedly saved you, when you lost your spot on the scene!” she pointed out.
“She did save us, when we needed it in the tight spot. She was the one girl your voices could never touch!” I pointed out.
“I do have a small selection of instruments you could try out. Since you were a singer, you can’t play the drums, like me; the drummer is behind the group and doesn’t have room for vocals!” I prompted.
“If it is the Rainbooms you are referring to, you already have two guitars and a base. You were on the drums and Fluttershy on some insignificant instrument on the side. I hope you have something more interesting for me to play!” she added.
“These are them, yeah. We have a violin too in Bulk Biceps, but that shouldn’t change your place in the least!” I prompted.
“Oh, that huge guy is playing with you? No, that shouldn’t change anything. I want an instrument that feels reasonably important!” she explained.
“Yeppers, deppers; that is him, he was pretty good at it, and would add an interesting element to our group!” I prompted.
“Then; you are suggesting that I would be just such an element to your little group, too?” she pressed.
“Granted, that is a good reason for the group; but to me it is more of seeing you and others smile. I love seeing people smile, and you are one of them on that side!” I merely explained.
“I guess I should be grateful for your help making me feeling better and to be able to sing again?” she responded.
“So long as it makes you happier, without stepping on anyone’s toes, I am happy, you know!” I pointed out.
“Ah, yeah. That is why you are throwing parties all the time; left and right?” she pointed out.
“Parties are fun, and you see smiles filling the room!” I responded with a giggle, thinking of it.
“That is a point, I guess!” she responded.
I had managed to make the girl feel better, which feels good.
Then I had shown her a range of instruments I thought she could enjoy playing. One by one, and most of them were either too insignificant, already taken, or just not her thing in the first place. she apparently ended up taking the one I had shown Twilly, when she was here for the Battle of the Bands. since Twilight Sparkle never did show any interest in it, I feel confident in offering the instrument to another; Aria Blaze.
I had seen Aria to practice singing. It will take her a while, she had been overly reliant on the magic of her pendant. Relying on that kind of an aide as a crutch, and you never really learn to sing yourself. Yet, she is doing progress.
Maybe her voice isn’t quite up to where she was, when we smashed the group; but she can at least sing with a microphone now. I am starting to feel quite confident in her ability to join our group and band.
“I hear you are making a steady stream of progress with your voice; Aria!” I exclaimed as I saw her exiting the room.
“Yeah, at least; now I don’t sound strange, I can sing again!” she responded.
“If you can’t make yourself heard over a large crowd, but that is exactly why we do have our microphones in the first place; in order for Vinyl to be able to amplify our voices to reach the other end of the room!” I pointed out.
“Oh yeah, she was there at the Battle of the Bands, and you were holding these microphones in your hands as you sung!” she responded with a giggle at the thought of the event.
“Yeppers, deppers; she sure was there, all right. With her behind us, we could play the song that busted your old group. You were never all that happy in the group, even if I get that you did enjoy singing with them!” I suggested.
“Adagio always had to direct our every move, which was okay, so long as we were on the stage. As a group, outside the stage, the tension was hitting me, Sonata Dusk and Adagio Dazzling just as much. We barely stayed together, in order to keep the little we had. Once you pulled it out from under our feet, there was nothing holding us together. with that, we are broken and depressed!” she explained.
“I think we can do something about you feeling outside and depressed; even if they will have to wait for another train!” I put forth.
“Right now, I couldn’t care less about how they are doing. Maybe tomorrow, but not right now!” she pointed out.
“I guess I can understand you on that!” I prompted.
