Star-Song

Timidthy wore a green tux with a sparkly yellow bow around his neck. His hair was smoothed back with hair gel, the only part the refused to stay down was his cow-lick. Blood Bones wore a sparkling red tux with a plain purple bow, his hair was smoothed back as well. Luna was wearing a dress that matched her beautiful stars as the dress shined. Celestia wore a pure white dress as she and Luna had their hair in a bun.

The four all sat at the judges table as ponies we’re torn between talking to the four or talking to their stars. All the royal family had smiles on their faces despite the fact they we’re all very nervous on the inside. But that was nothing compared to how Star-Studded was feeling.

Star-Studded and Sweet-Song was in the backstage closet as Star-Studded’s entire body was shaking. The mare had recently took (another) bath as her mane, tail, and coat we’re still moist. Sweet-Song brushed her marefriend's mane,

“You’ll do great! Remember your true fans will stick by your side!” She said. Star-Studded looked up at her lover,

“Ho—How can you be sure?” She asked.

“I’m not…..I’m just hoping. You bring out my good side. When I was young I had given up on hope, my dreams, and…..my cutiemark. But thanks to you and Meadow you’ve brought out my good side.” Sweet-Song responded blushing slightly,

“Really?” Star-Studded said her eye’s widening.

“Yes. And I’m not gonna let you give up on yours. So come on let’s get you ready to put on the show of a lifetime!” Sweet-Song said kissing her marefriend on the horn, Star-Studded giggled as a smile came to her face.

Meadow saw the last performer pass her as she ran past her, she gulped as she ran out onto the stage.

“Alright everypony now our spe—” The announcer pony said until she saw Meadow,

“Umm…..little filly your not supposed to be up here.” The announcer pony said having an annoyed tone.

“I know but there’s one more performer.” Meadow said,

“Alright then who is it?” The announcer pony said lowering the microphone down to Meadow.

“Th—The next, and last performer is Star-Studded Ovation!” Meadow said clear nervousness was in her voice, everypony in the room gasped. And just as everypony gasped did all the stage lights make the stage a rose pink. Star-Studded walked out onto the stage wearing a bright magenta dress that had white glitter all over it. Star-Studded also had the front of her mane in a heart shaped while the back of her mane was in a ponytail. And walked to the center of all the lights in stage,

“Umm…..alright then! Everypony let’s see what Star-Studded has to offer!” The announcer pony said. She then got herself and Meadow off the stage as slow-paced pop music started to play. As Star-Studded started to sing:

I saw her
And my heart skipped a beat
She looked back
And my life felt complete
I never thought I’d ever be in love
But that all shattered when my heart pumped loud!

The music then picked up tempo.

We started dating and our love only grew!
But next thing we know it ends up on the news!
I felt humiliated and all washed out!
But no matter what hell I have to go through!
I’ll love you!

I’d give my stardom for you!
I’d give up my mark too!
I’d give up my life and world just to stay with you!
I love you!

Most ponies might find our love wrong!
But they can kiss my flank because our love is true!
So ponies who can’t handle the truth can just leave us be!

The music then slowed back down to its beginning tempo.

I love you
I’m doing this cause you gave me the courage to try
I love you
You make me want to fly
I love you
I’ll do anything for you
Because I love you!

And as Star-Studded stopped singing. And she realized Sweet-Song was right in front of her. She looked behind the mare. And looked to see that even the royal family was stunned. Star-Studded opened her mouth to speak, but was soon cut off when Sweet-Song kissed her. And that’s when Star-Studded’s mind went blank, everypony once again gasped.

Celestia, Meadow, and Luna's jaws had dropped while Timidthy’s wings had flew open his face flushed red. Blood Bone’s eye’s we’re wide, once he snapped out of the shock. He lit his horn and wrote a number on the white card in front of him. Finally his magic lifted the card as a pleased smile came to his face. Blood Bones then started pounding his front hooves against the chair and started cheering.

Everypony in the crowd looked at Blood Bones before Luna, Celestia, and Timidthy snapped out of their shock. The wrote their respective numbers out on their boards. And lifted them with their magic before they started to cheer as well. And just like that a domino effect happened. Meadow started cheering, and then the announcer did and next thing before anypony knew the entire crowd was cheering.

While some photographer ponies snapped picture and some news ponies we’re writing like mad. Once Star-Studded and Sweet-Song heard the cheering they finally separated. Star-Studded looked and saw that Celestia had given her a nine point five. Luna had given her a eight, Blood Bones had given her a ten. And finally Timidthy (who still had his wings open) held up a nine point eight.

Star-Studded felt tears of joy building in her eye’s; as Sweet-Song led her off the stage. Once they we’re in the back stage Star-Studded hugged Sweet-Song tightly. And cried into her chest,

“Thank you. Thank you Sweety you’re the best marefriend a pony could ask for.” Star-Studded said. Sweet-Song blushed vibrantly and smiled as she stroked her lovers mane,

“No problem. After all I love you just as much as you love me.” She said.
