Author's Note

Hi there, Michael Alan Keenan here! The idea of this story came to me, as I was sitting there just drinking a Dr. Pepper. Literally, I had nothing else better to do. I was kinda inspired by some events that happened in my life just a few months ago, although this isn't really accurate, but I need to do something about it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and find this story alright. If it becomes more than that, we'll go from there. Other wise, unto the story!

Friday (Part 1)

"Ugh, what time is it?" I groaned as I laid in bed, still half asleep. It had been a long night, not that was a problem, I always stay up late. No, the problem was the fact that I forced myself to stay awake as I had to finish a project. A very important project to myself, as it was a gift for my best friend Sunset Shimmer. I flipped over and looked at my phone. "One thirty... wow I really pushed myself last night didn't I?"

I slowly crawled out of bed, grabbed some clothes from a hamper, and stumbled my way to the bathroom from the messy bedroom. After turning on the shower, I ran back to the room to grab my phone and Bluetooth speaker. Turning it on, I selected a playlist to listen to. Stepping into the shower, I began to sing as I lathered myself down with soap. As the song progressed, I was playing my air guitar and acting as if I was in a live rock concert. After the song ended, I was done with the shower.

After getting dressed and ready for what the day would bring, I decided it was time to get something to eat. Looking in the fridge, I realized that I hadn't been grocery shopping in a while, so I didn't really have any food. "I guess I'm going out to eat," I said to no one in particular. "It's a beautiful day anyways. Might as well go for a walk as well." Before heading out the door, I grabbed my speaker, as I would be needing that later on today.

Bleep bleep bleep my speaker rung out, as it was turned on. I connected my phone to it and picked a song. As it played, I walked downtown to find a restaurant. I couldn't help but sing along to the classic Kiss song. It was, in fact, a very beautiful day. Kids were outside playing, cars were driving up and down the road, and other people were out walking around Canterlot City. Some of the other pedestrians were giving me strange looks as I was singing, but I didn't care, I was in too good of a mood.

I rounded the corner to the main street of the city. I stopped and thought to myself on what I wanted to eat. "Hmmm... let's see. Subway? No. Sonic? Not in the mood. Ugh, I hate McDonald's." As I was to caught up in I thoughts, I absent-mindlessly bumped into another person. "Oops, sorry there Shy."

The one I had bumped into was none other than Fluttershy. "It's quite alright, Michael," she said with a gentle smile. "What were you doing right now?"

"Oh, just looking for a place to eat," I explained, "Why? Do you have any suggestions?"

"Well I was getting ready to go to lunch with the girls. Want to join us?" Fluttershy asked me with her soft, caring voice.

"Sure, I can't find a place anyways. Besides, I have great news I intend on sharing with all of you."

"Oh, and what would that be?" She asked me, clearly I had sparked her interest.

"You'll have to wait and see," I smirked. Fluttershy only rolled her eyes. She and the girls were used to my antics, not that I have done anything wrong. As I turned off the speaker, I found myself curious of where the girls were meeting for their lunch. "Where we eating anyways?"

"You'll have to wait and see." I raised an eyebrow but couldn't help smile as the shy girl had been sarcastic with me. I had to admit, Fluttershy had come along way since I had first met the timid girl. As we walked down the street, she couldn't help but notice that I was humming, clearly a tune that was unfamiliar to her. "Um.. Michael?"

"Yeah Shy?"

"What is that song you are humming? I've never heard it before." My eyes shot open. 'Oh no.
Crap. Now I have to tell her.' "What is it? Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry..."

"No it's alright Shy," I interrupted her. I sighed. "There is a reason you have never heard that song before, no one has."

"Wait, did you, write a song?" Fluttershy asked curiously.

"Actually, yeah, I did. But not just a song, but a song for a special someone," I smiled as I looked up to the sky.

"Oh, and who is that?"

"I can't tell you."

"Oh okay," she smirked. "It's for Sunset, isn't it?" My face blushed. 'How did she find out?' "I take that as a yes." I gulped. I couldn't say anything.

"Y...Yes?" I felt so nervous, I was literally shaking.

"I figured as much." Man, for a girl that is really quite and kind, she can be evil when she wants to. "Can I hear it?"

"H... Hear what?"

"Your song. I want to hear your song."

"Um..." I looked away. I really wanted to share it, but I wanted everyone to hear it at the same time. "I'm sorry Shy, but no."

"And why not? Your not embarrassed are you?" She really does look evil right now, doesn't she.

"No, I just," I tried to find the right words. "It's just this song is really special to me, and I want everyone to hear it."

"Everyone will hear it, I just want to hear it first."

"I mean at the same time, Shy. It wouldn't be as special. Besides, I'm not ready." I said as I kicked a pop can.

"Alright Michael, I see." Fluttershy looked a little disappointed.

"Hey, don't get sad on me. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I really want the first time I perform it, to have Sunset hear it." I explained as sincere as possible. "I mean, it is for her after all."

"I guess your right." She tried to smile at me, then she looked up and saw that we were at our destination. "We're here!"

"Huh," I read the sign above the door.

Mozzeralla's Kitchen

"Looks good enough."
