Freedom is Coming

Morning had come and while the others were doing their jobs, Golden Heart stared out of the metal fence, looking bored and hopeful because she had nothing else to do. She drew some circles into the ground and thought of her family at home. She missed her Grandmother Elena who was an alicorn and used to be a princess. Golden Heart was basically a princess because her mum, Crystal and her dad, Thaddeus, were a prince and princess. She would be a queen after her mum is gone and would be immortal as she was an alicorn until she died if somepony managed to kill her. Sickness and injuries didn't really count because they could be healed straight away with magic, unicorn and alicorn.

A twig snapped nearby and Golden Heart instantly looked up and saw Firefly flying towards her with a note in her mouth. As soon as she got there, Golden Heart used her magic to take the folded note that Firefly had. She unfolded the note and it read:

“Plan is starting in two days, get prepared for your freedom!”

Golden Heart had her jaw hanging open and she looked up at the pegasus filly that was standing on the opposite side of the fence. Firefly gave her a wink and a giggle then she flew off into the forest. Golden Heart fell back onto her rear and she still had her jaw hanging open. Freedom was going to be here at last! She saw Gold Star sitting against the fence, reading a book that had all sorts of tricks that she had to possibly learn. She walked over to her friend and whispered that they were to be free in two days and told her to pass it on to the rest of the foals.

As soon as Gold Star had finished telling every foal that they were going to escape, she went to her room and sat on her bed. She opened her mouth to sing:

“Two more days!
Another plan, hopefully works
This better work for us
Those other ones never worked
Surely it can come a millionth time
Two more days!”

Topaz then opened his mouth to sing as he was walking away from his job:

“I just want to go home
Will we always be together?”

Gold Star then sung again:

“Two more days!”

Topaz and Cookie (while she was still at her job) then sung together:

“We'll always be together
And let's hope, we'll get home!”

Floss as she was doing her job with candy, then sung:

“Two more days with my friends.”

Topaz and Cookie joined again:

“Will we ever escape?”

Floss sung:

“Two more days with fresh air.”

Topaz and Cookie sung:

“Let's hope our friends will help.”

Floss sung:

“What a day this would be.”

Topaz and Cookie sung:

“I swear we'll be together.”

Floss sung:

“Take my sister too!”

Golden Heart got up onto her hooves and she flew higher than before and sung with confidence and passion:

“Two more days until escape.”

Topaz trotted up to her and sung:

“I'll follow you always.”

Golden Heart turned her head to him and gave him a smile:

“Near the hills of freedom!”

Topaz flew up above her:

“We shall all be free!”

Golden Heart then flew up in front of him and threw her foreleg around him and turned him to face the forest:

“Way over the fence.”

Topaz sung:

“Can I fly over it?”

Golden Heart wrapped her forelegs around him and flew them gently down to the ground:

“Will you work together with me?”

Topaz nodded and they shared a hug then all of the other foals sung along:

“The time has come, we'll be free!”

Gold Star sung:

“Two more days!”

Silver Star then sung as she looked out the window:

“Two more days until freedom
We will never give up
We'll be ready to show them
That we are strong than they are!”

Gold Star sung as she faced her sister who was also looking at her:

“Two more days!”

Candy and a unicorn colt named Target then sung together as they sat behind the shed where their possessions were:

“Watch them be shocked
Mock them as they stare
They better not dare
Try and stop us
Here's a little 'tip'
There a little 'push'
Every foal should get out
Now let's get out of here!”

All of the foals then sung:

“Two days to our freedom
Spread your wings and fly!
Let's get everypony out
Let's get everypony out
This is a new day for us
We're so excited now
Do you hear us sing?”

Topaz then flew high into the air and sung a little louder:

“You're my friends, I'll leave with you!”

Gold Star the sung with more passion:

“Two more days!”

As the rest of the friends sang, Silver Star's singing overlapped them:

“Two more days until freedom
We will never give up
We'll be ready to show them”

Candy and Target's then overlapped as well:

“Watch them be shocked
Mock them as they stare
They better not dare
Now let's get out of here!”

Gold Star sung:

“We'll be very far away
We'll be back with our families.”

All the foals sang together for the last time:

“Tomorrow we'll be free
From this horrible and dark place
Two more dawns
Two more days
Two more days!”

That night, all the foals sat in the best friends' room and all looked very excited and determined.

“I can't wait to escape!” Silver Star squealed with excitement.

“Shush, keep it down, sis, we don't want them to hear us and blow our cover,” Gold Star said with panic and put her hoof over her sister's mouth. “Yes, we can't wait to get back home and see our families again.”

All the foals put their hooves in one circle and said:

“We'll get home!”

Author's Note

Yeah, it wasn't easy writing the song into this story but it could easier to cover it. The song was a parody of One Day More from Les Miserables and I called it Two More Days.
