We all went to my house, for the time being, waiting for when the concert would begin. She was supposed to stay in a hotel but she preferred to stay at my house, talking about things and eating lunch. 'So, you excited for tonight,' Sia asked, looking at us without her wig on. Rainbowshine and I got used to her wearing her wig all the time, so having it off for her was a little strange.

'Yeah, obviously, what would you think? It's sort of obvious, anyways, it's even more exciting to be able to watch from backstage,' I said to her.

'What she said,' Rainbowshine added.

We then watched TV, Sia preparing for the concert, rehearsing the song for us.

Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp

I still can't get over her sweet sweet voice, mine was a little rough while Rainbowshine's wasn't as soft as her's. I admired her voice, and so did Rainbowshine. The next thing that happened was that Starry Night opened the door, walking in calmly carrying a few stuff. 'Planetshine, did you see Songbird Serenade come in town?' she asked.

'She's here,' I replied. Starry opened the door a little more, and upon looking in, she was shocked to see Sia at my house, rehearsing for today's performance. She then tuned in with us, listening to Sia rehearse for tonight's concert. Then a message came in, from the space center. The message read.

Planetshine, you are chosen to fly a 3.2-ton rocket to Gilly (Eve's moon) in one month.

Everypony read it, shocked to see that I was going on another mission. Yes, I know I was a great pilot, but seriously, flying a 3.2-ton rocket by myself to Gilly was just ridiculous.

We waited for tonight, can't wait at all for Sia's concert, especially if we were viewing from backstage, a privilege that a normal pony would never have. When it was nighttime, and Princess Luna raised the moon or rotated Equestria, whatever that was true. The stage was all set up, ready for Sia to perform there.

We trotted over to the stage, waiting for a bit until all preparations were complete, the props all set up. We peeked from the curtains, just enough to see her sing but not enough to have other ponies see us, and believe me, some of them have great vision. Sia went on the stage after a few words spoken from the loudspeaker, 'Fillies and Gentlecolts, Songbird Serenade.'

She started singing, her voice a little autotuned to suit the environment she was in.

And another one bites the dust
But why can I not conquer love?
And I might've got to be with one
Why not fight this war without weapons?

Starry, Rainbowshine and I peeked at her, looking at her actions, the other ponies backstage just staring at us thinking that we were just absolutely crazy, even though we weren't. Then the chorus came, which definitely showed off her vocals, now I finally know what her secret was, there was no way I could match that when I sing.

Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

All the ponies cheered when the show finished, and I flew out, hugging Sia tightly, also cheering her at the same time. The ponies that were cheering were not surprised at all, as they knew I was Sia's friend, and so was Rainbowshine, who joined us later.

All three of us went backstage, later preparing for the next part of the tour, which wasn't Cloudsdale but the Crystal Empire. I had never been there, and from the photos I've seen, it looked absolutely beautiful, having a type of symmetry that seemed perfect, the streets, not the buildings.

Princess Cadence and filly Flurry Heart welcomed us, just like the other ponies, and knowing all of us, except Rainbowshine, she gave all of us a tour of the place. The place really stood out, the place fully made out of crystals, something I would never expect, even though I've learned about it when I was a filly.

Sia was going to sing Titanium, a collab song with a not very well known stallion called David, who would be here to do the DJ work. She performed it tonight, Rainbowshine, Starry and I backstage for the whole time. When the Crystal Empire was all done, we then went to Cloudsdale, then Manehatten, Mount Aeris, and even turned into seaponies going to Seaquestria. It was definitely a great tour.
