A fox in pony clothing

Shisai POV

It's been a week since Jewels lost her mother and she hasn't talked much, only opening her mouth to tell me 'thank you' and 'goodnight' when she goes to sleep. I'm starting to get worried for her, but she won't talk to me about it even though she knows I know what losing her parents feels like. While we were travelling, me and Jewels stumbled into another small town outside the forest, but we decided to go around and ended up in another forest called the "Everfree" I think? We ran into a lot of things here: a blue plant that made jewels, a pony, a Pegasus to be exact and we still haven't found a way to change her back. I also found out that when I use my fox form and I sing my tails play the music for me... who would've thought. Anyway we just found a place called "Ponyville" . Can anyone explain the horse puns I mean I get it represents their species but come on, some originality would be appreciated.

"Now Jewels I know you hate the ponies right now, but we have to get into town and get more supplies for our journey ok?" I said to Jewels who was know a royal purple coated Pegasus, with a white mane and her hair tied into a pony(XD) tail and a cutie mark of a microphone with a golden fire around it.
"Sai you know very well that I don't hate all ponies just those back home, but I still don't trust any of them." She said indifferently.
"Alright now I have to put on a disguise"
"Why you didn't in my town?"
"That was before I basically attacked an entire town."
"But you only blew up the prison!"
"So doesn't mean the word didn't pass around." I argued with her. Taking a couple steps back from her I was covered in a blanket of sky blue fire as I began to change my appearance. My disguise was a unicorn with a black coat, long silver hair with a couple of light blue streaks in it, golden eyes and a cutie mark of a guitar with music notes forming an infinity symbol around it.

As the fire dissipated I opened my eyes to see Jewels staring at me with a bit of a blush on her face.
Deciding to tease her a bit I asked "So how do I look?" doing a couple of poses. Before we left we decided to get used to our new appendages so we didn't look completely clueless, Jewels learned how to fly again but with feathered wings, I learned magic like telekinesis, a laser beam for defense purposes and I found out I can make myself fly by wrapping my magic around myself. Now one surprising thing I found out about myself is that I have a near endless amount of magic but if I try to cast more than four spells I get tired and my horn begins to feel like it's burning. We also came up with each other's names . Mine is Dark Song and Jewel's is Royal Song and we're posing as siblings who travel the world spreading our love of music.

"Now, do we walk in like regular ponies or do something cool as an entrance?" I asked her.
"Umm something normal please." she said back pleadingly.
"Okay so we come in singing a song so it goes with our story" I told her.
"What nononono! You know I hate singing!" she said.
"No you don't hate it, you're shy my dear and what better way to get the fear away by just doing the action?" I asked her.
"I'm not singing Sai" She said with a deadpan look.
"Fine party pooper, I'll sing and you just walk with me alright?"
"Fine" she said as she lowered her head following after me as we began walking towards town. Checking our disguises one more time we began walking into town.

Song Start(Why Worry- Set It Off)

~A sinking feeling sets
It feels like just like a hole inside your chest
I know your thinking
No, no, no, no it is easier said than done
But please let me attest
I know it's hard

Your feeling like you're trapped
But that's how you react
When you cannot see the light
But try and see the light
I'm telling you
No, no, no, no
You're the only one
Standing in your way
Just take a breath
Relax, and tell me

Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?
Just tell me why do we worry?
When worry is never helping tell me why worry at all?

Why do we insist
On crossing bridges that do not exist?
Let's take these issues
Step by step by step, to work it out
Day by day by day we're falling down
But life goes on

I've got some questions
Are you sick of feeling sorry
Uh huh
And people saying not to worry
Uh huh
Sick of hearing this hakuna matata motto
From people who won the lotto
We're not that lucky
Have you noticed that you're breathing?(Uh huh)
Look around and count your blessings(Uh huh)

So when you're sick of all this stressing and guessing
I'm suggesting you turn this up and let them hear you sing it

Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?
Just tell me why do we worry?
When worry is never helping tell me why worry at all?

Chin up, quit actin' like your half dead
Tears can only half fill how you're feelin'
Don't worry, be happy baby

Stand up, life is too short
That clock it ticking
Man up, if ya feel me
Everybody sing it
(Looking around I quickly noticed that everyone else began singing with me as the song began to end.)
Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?
Just tell me, why do we worry?
When worry is never helping
I'm not buying what they're selling
So if worry is never helping
Tell me why, why worry at all?

When I stopped singing I looked around to see everyone else smiling and laughing: some of them began to approach me. The first one to reach me was a shy blue furd pony with a rainbow main rainbow mane and a huge smile on her face as she flew over.
"Dude that was awesome you gotta sing another one, plllleeeeeeeaaaassssee!!" She said as she flew around in circles around me.
"Now settle down missy, ‘e don't have to sing another one if ‘e don't want to." said another mare with orange fur and a blonde mane.
"I can sing another one later if you want but how about we introduce ourselves first" I said with a smile.
"Fine, my name's Rainbow Dash, fastest pony in equestria, only pony to pull off a sonic rainboom and the element of loyalty." The rainbow maned one said with a cocky grin.
"Mah name's Applejack element of honesty, I'm a farmer at Sweet Apple Acres. I make a mean apple pie if you ever want one."She said with a heartwarming smile.
"Woah AJ, I know we're getting to know each other and all but I didn't expect you to flirt with him already!" said Rainbow Dash covering her mouth with a hoof.
"Gosh darnit Dash I wasn't flirtin' I was being nice!" She yelled at her.
"Yeah right, if that's just being nice then why didn't I get that offer when we started being friends huh?" Rainbow asked with a squinted eye. After she said that Applejack looked back at her with a rope she pulled out of her mane.
"Okay, okay don't get your tail in a twist I was just joking!" She retorted, hurriedly waving her forelegs in a surrendering manner. After their little argument they looked back at me and waited for me to introduce myself.
"Well it's nice to meet you two my name is Dark Song and my sister here is Royal Song" I said pointing at Jewels.
"Hi" She said to them with a blank look on her face.
"What's wrong with her?" Rainbow asked
"Although we're a singing family she's shy to sing in front of any ol’ pony who isn't family." I explained.
"I'm not shy I just don't want to."
"Alright then, sing something now to prove it." I said with a smirk. She looked at me and then them and frowned as she began walking away, mumbling under her breath. "I don't have to deal with this" As she walked away a blur of pink slammed into her, as she skidded to a stop I saw a pink mare on top of her with a cotton candy mane harboring a unsettling big smile on her face.
"Royal!" I said as I galloped over. Stopping in front of her, the pink pony suddenly began to speak.
"HiI'mPinkiePie,what'syourname,ohbetteryetdoyoulikeparties,what'syourfavoritetypeofcake,when'syourbirthday,whatsyourfavoritecol-"
"Sugar cube you need to get off the girl!" yelled Applejack as she lassoed Pinkie over to her. Once she did that I leaned down to pick up Jewels, but she slapped my hoof and walked away to what looked like a park in the distance.
"Ooooh she looks mad; should you go to her or?" asked Rainbow
"Yeah, I'll talk to you girls later." I said with a sad smile.
"Wait, we'll just talk again at your party!" yelled Applejack.
"What party?!" I yelled back as I continued to walk away
"Pinkie throws everypony around here a party to welcome 'em. We'll just talk then!" she said, as she and Rainbow began walking/flying away. Looking around I eyed Pinkie before she disappeared in a puff of pink smoke.
"What the hell?" I whispered to myself as I continued walking towards the park.
