Author's Note

The Songs as stated in the previous chapter are not mine, my character just sings them till he donates his voice or whatever I decide in the future. Bear with me lol.

Here are links to both of the songs: 1st Song and 2nd Song

3: The Songs of Pain

Breakup smiled at the crowd. He could not believe that so many people came to the concert. Once the crowd quieted down, Breakup picked up the mic and cleared his throat before speaking to the crowd.

"I am honestly happy that this many ponies came out here just to hear me sing. For once I think I will love performing in front of a large crowd. Especially when I have the princesses and the Main Six out here in the V.I.P.!" The crowd cheered again as a spotlight shined in the V.I.P. seating where the princesses and the Main SIx waved.

"Now for the part of this night, you guys came for. Ladies, if you would please." As he spoke in his charming way, the girls that played the instruments, started to play the melody of the first song.

Everybody hurts
Everybody bleeds
Everybody bends to fill a need
Everybody's born with their own curse
And I'm not alone

Everybody cries
Everybody breathes
Everybody wants to feel they're free
Deep inside I know what I am worth
A life of my own

It could have been much worse
But it should have been better

I know I'd hurt you, deserted you
And now I see it clear
I pulled you closer, tighter
'Cause I knew you'd disappear

I just can't compromise, apologize
There's nothing you can say
We both knew
It would always end this way

The way Breakup sang the song made the Main Six and the princesses' jaws drop. They could not believe what they were hearing. The group looked at Fluttershy to check up on her, as they figured with the way he was singing she would be scared, but to their surprise, she was mesmerized by the stallion. She appeared to be enjoying the music.

Everybody pains
Everybody grieves
Everybody's making off like thieves
Every soul's aching for release
You're not alone

Everybody lives
Everybody leaves
Everybody begs best on their knees
Everybody's got the same disease
No one's alone

It could have been much worse
But it should have been better

Twilight started to ponder how in the world a stallion of his age was able to come up with a song that someone like Tirek would have written. She started to bring up books till she found a page in one book listing a legend of the Preying Vocalist. A monster that wonders around Equestria, mesmerizing mares and stallions to lure them in and drain them of a quarter of their blood. As a result, the Vocalist would gain the abilities of the ponies it had feasted from. She slowly looked back at the rest of the group and realized that they all were looking in the same as Fluttershy was at the mysterious singer.

I know I'd hurt you, deserted you
And now I see it clear
I pulled you closer, tighter
'Cause I knew you'd disappear

I just can't compromise, apologize
There's nothing you can say
We both knew
It would always end this way

Knew it'd end this way
We knew it'd end this way, AAAAAHHHH

Upon the guitar solo, Twilight was able to head backstage and ask some questions. Before she could even say a word however, a bright pink mare with lavender and coneflower mane and tail stepped out from the dressing room for the mysterious singer smiling. The mare turned and was shocked to see the princess.

"Oh! Hi Twilight. What are you doing back here?"

Twilight then recognized the mare, it was a classmate back from her days in Celestia's School.

"Hey Futurehoof, what are you doing here?"

"Well I guess I should tell you, I'm Country Storms Manager. I met him a few years back and ever since he has helped me with everything. He even paid the depts of my grandmother's store."

"That's awesome Future, I can't believe he did that for you. I know we both haven't seen each other in a while but I have to ask you something. Does Country Storm do any of these things with the fans he takes to his hotel room?" Twilight handed her the book but in three seconds flat of reading, she handed it back and shook her head.

"Country Storm never uses his powe- I mean abilities to lure people into fee- I mean into taking people's blood. that is so weird."

Twilight just shrugged her shoulders and went back to the V.I.P. lounge and relaxed as the song continued.

I know I'd hurt you, deserted you
And now I see it clear
I pulled you closer, tighter
'Cause I knew you'd disappear

I just can't compromise, apologize
There's nothing you can say
We both knew
It would always end this way

We both know
It'd always end this way
We both knew
It would always end this way

After the music died down and the crowd had finished cheering Breakup laughed, he wished he could use his magic to float over a mic but he would have to settle with it dangling from the ceiling.

"Alright, I guess you guys loved that song. Well if you liked that song, maybe I should give you what you want." The crowd erupted with cheers and fangirlish screams. They wanted the next song to come out and he was planning on delivering. So he cleared his throat and motioned for the players to start playing. And with that done, the next song began.

Some say a storm is coming,
Some say the end is near,
Some think it's all so hazy,
I think it's all so clear.

If it all ends tomorrow,
If it all disappears,
Where do you think you're going?
Anywhere else but here!

I don't claim to have the reasons!
All I know is, if the world stops spinning tomorrow,
I'd never shed a tear!
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere,
Anywhere but here!

Twilight and the others couldn't help but gawk at the raw talent that this stallion had in him. However, Twilight and Fluttershy heard from behind their seats a very unsettling conversation.

"There's the prince, we have to get him. No matter we can not fail this mission. If we do our organs are the Crystal Serpent's dinner!" A dark and raspy voice said behind the girls. The other, less threatening voice, asked a question of what the mission was and the harsh voiced stallion spoke again. But the response made both Twilight and Fluttershy have shivers run down their spine. "We have to bring him back, dead or alive."

Some say they have the answers,
Some say they know the truth,
Some people live in question,
Some people have no clue.

If there was no tomorrow,
If there was just today,
Would you make different choices?
Or would you stay the same?

I don't claim to have the reasons!
All I know is, if the world stops spinning tomorrow,
I'd never shed a tear!
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere,
Anywhere but here!

Twilight quickly grabbed an empty book and wrote down the entire conversation that had conspired. After the concert, she would show it to the princesses.

If there was no tomorrow,
If there was no tomorrow,
If there was no tomorrow,
Would you stay, the same?!

If there's no tomorrow,
If there's no tomorrow,
If there's no tomorrow,
Would you stay, the same?!

If the world stops spinning tomorrow,
I'd never shed a tear!
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere,
Anywhere but here!

If the world stops spinning tomorrow,
I'd never shed a tear!
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere,
Anywhere but here!

Now with him finishing the concert off, he bowed and looked around as he felt something was off. After he had bowed, he walked off the stage to his dressing room and was able to but on his disguise to make him look normal. He could hear the audience cheering from the room while he put his disguise on.

The disguise was actually skin tight and had a weird color scheme. The body fur was tan and his mane colors were mauve and burgundy. The unicorn disguise actually had a lollipop cutie mark. He named himself when he wore the suit, Sweet Pop. After he was fully changed, he walked with Futurehoof back to the abandoned hotel, where they both slept for the night.

Twilight teleported everyone back home one at a time, thinking back to what was heard by both her and Fluttershy. She felt guilty about not saying anything to Futurehoof before they left. So she came up with the idea to ask Futurehoof after her Coronation. She happily went to bed with hopeful eyes resting, hoping to see Future and Country safe.
