Passion Note Moves to Ponyville

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville and Fluttershy was in town looking for Passion Note because he had requested to talk to her the day before and she had forgotten until this moment.

"I'm not sure where he lives. Oh dear."She said before feeling a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw it was Sweetie Belle who was holding a carrot that Fluttershy had dropped. "Oh thank you."She said as she took the vegetable. She placed it in her bag and continued to walk.

"Where are you going?"Sweetie Belle asked. Fluttershy continued to look around. "Fluttershy?"Sweetie asked. It was clear that the pegasus was determined to complete her goal and Sweetie Belle wasn't sure what to do. Fluttershy stopped and so did Sweetie.

"I'm trying to find where Mr. Passion Note lives. He asked me to see him for something and I forgot about it until today. Do you know where he lives?"She asked. Sweetie thought about it for a second before giving a nod. She took off and Fluttershy followed behind. She then led her to Passion's house and the two stopped.

Just as they were about to walk up to the door, they heard something coming from the backyard. So they walked over quietly and as they got closer, they distinguished that it was a stallion singing. As they fully entered the backyard, they saw Passion sitting on the ground with a quill pen and a piece of paper humming something.

"Yes, we will always be. You know we will be. Don't despair and just cheer?"He sang before stopping to write. "No, that won't work."He said. He stopped as he looked up and saw the two standing there. He placed his pen down and got up. "Uh, hi."He said clearly embarrassed.

"Oh wow, Passion. I didn't know you could sing."Sweetie Belle with a huge smile on her. Passion laughed slightly and he adjusted his glasses. "Come to think about it. I don't know much about you and you've been in Ponyville for. What is it?"She started before stopping to think.

"I can't. I mean, not very well. At least not as well as Fluttershy."He said in response. Fluttershy smiled and laughed a little. "What did you need by the way? I'm sure you two didn't come here just to hear me."He asked. The two looked at each other and paused before Fluttershy shook her head.

"Oh right, I was going to help you pick out a pet for the next Ponyville Pet Festival."She said. Passion Note thought about it for a second before gasping, clearly remembering it now. Before they could continue, Sweetie Belle stopped them.

"Who wants to talk about pets at a time like this? I want to hear Passion sing some more."She said much to his further embarrassment. He walked over and placed his hoof on her head. "What?"She asked.

"How about a story about when I first saw the Pony-Tones?"He asked. She took the bait and a seat. He went back to his pen and paper and Fluttershy sat next to Sweetie Belle, clearly wanting to hear how he recalled it.

He let his mind wander to that day. It was the day after his visit to Sweet Apple Acres and he was in the market to pick up more ink for his quill pen. He was just finishing up with his purchase when he heard singing in the background. Seeing as his shopping was done, he decided to follow the singing and came across a stage set up and saw five ponies in the background.

As he got closer, he saw it was Fluttershy, Rarity, Big Mac and two others that he didn't know. "That was great Pony-Tones. I think we are ready for our performance."Rarity said before getting a sip of water. Passion got closer, which drew her attention. "Oh Passion Note, how nice of you to see our rehearsal. Sadly, we're almost done."She said making him stop.

Fluttershy looked at him and raised a wing as she thought about something. Without warning, she walked over to Rarity and whispered something into her ear who continued to nod throughout. Passion looked at Big Mac who shrugged. 'I agree."Rarity finally said.

She said something to the two unknown ponies who proceeded to walk behind Passion and push him onto the stage. "Uh, what?"He asked. Fluttershy smiled and walked over to him. Rarity looked at Big Mac and winked at him who then looked at Passion as if he somehow understood what was going on.

"How would you like to try a song?"Fluttershy asked. Passion shook his head. "Oh, you can't sing?"She asked. He shook his head again. "I'm sure you could if you gave it a try."She told him. He stopped to think for a minute. "You don't have to be afraid. I used to be, but with some help from Rarity and my friends. I started to overcome my fear and now I love it."She explained.

"If you don't feel comfortable with it. How about trying some baby steps?"She asked. Passion looked at the other Pony-Tones before giving a nod of approval. "Ok, Big Mac?"She said looking at Big Mac. He started making some noises with his voice and Passion covered his eyes with a hoof before opening his mouth.

"All around. All around."He began singing quietly. Big Mac looked at Fluttershy and Rarity before looking back at him ."All around this land I know. You may find."He continued singing quietly before raising his hoof a little away from his eyes. "You may find a new friend waiting for you. In the east or in the west."He continued as he completely removed his hoof and walked to the front of the stage.

The Pony-ones began harmonizing behind him and he continued. "In Equestria, ponies know that the greatest joy in life. Is the one who shares all your hope and brings you to new heights."Passion continued singing, but now he activated a levitation spell to raise him slightly in the air, to the amusement of Rarity and Fluttershy.

"Even if you feel sad and even if you feel angry. know that you will always have a friend. One that is always true."He sang, this time his voice getting louder. To the point that other ponies started taking notice. "Look all around you and look inside your heart. Never give up and never let others down. Because after all."He sang before lowering himself back onto the stage.

"You know your friends ."He sang looking down. "Won't let you."He finished his song looking up at the crowd of ponies that gathered. The ponies began clapping their hooves together and Passion felt a small blush creep onto his face and he smiled before turning around and walking behind the curtain.

"That was wonderful. Wasn't it, Pony-Tones?"Fluttershy asked. They nodded their heads in agreement. "If that was a baby step, imagine what you could do with training."She added. He laughed in nervousness and wiped some sweat off his forehead. "But of course, only if you want."She said realizing that he may not be ready for that. He gave a nod and proceeded to go on with his day.

He was brought back to the present by the sound of Sweetie Belle clapping. "Wow, that was some story. And I liked the song."She said. Passion then realized that he had also sung the song while telling his story and laughed slightly. Fluttershy laughed with him.

"But, why haven't you joined the Pony-Tones?"She asked. He and Fluttershy looked at each other and laughed a little louder. "Huh?"She asked. Fluttershy placed her hoof on Sweetie's head.

"Because Passion Note said that he didn't feel that singing was what he liked doing, we agreed and said that we were fine with it because he was."She explained. She got up and placed her bag back on her back.

Sweetie Belle then noticed that he didn't have a Cutie Mark and smiled. "I can see what you mean. But thank you for the story Passion. I can't wait to hear Rarity tell me it too."She said getting off the ground.

"Tell her I said hi. Now I really need to finish writing this song."He said before grabbing his pen. Sweetie Belle said goodbye and walked away. And Fluttershy decided to leave as well, but not before promising to see Passion about the Pet Festival some other day. Passion waved goodbye and smiled. "You'd think after improvising that song on the spot, that I could write one. But..."He said before actually going back to it.
