The Princess of Songby Musical_theatre_demonChaptersChapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9Chapter 10Chapter 11Chapter 12Chapter 1Chapter 13Chapter 2The next morning, Queen Treble Measure and King Piano Muse wake up to see that Queen Treble Measure is pregnant with twins. King Piano Muse stares at her for a while. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Queen Treble Measure asks, "If it's about this baby bump, then you can be the one to explain." "I'm not gonna ask about it," King Piano Muse replies. "Are you seriously still going on about how overwhelmed performing is for you? Gosh, I thought you were stronger than that, but apparently not," Queen Treble Measure says. "My dear, what is it you're going on about? This sudden mood, where the hay did it come from?" he says. "I felt concerned all night last night about you and couldn't sleep. I couldn't bear the pain that you were experiencing anymore, so I thought that I should crawl back into bed and see what else I could do," she replies, "I was only trying to cope and loving you was the only way I could get rid of the pain." "I didn't even know!" King Piano Muse cries. "Well, life is full of surprises. Get used to it," Queen Treble replies, "Can't you just be happy for me? For us? Or is that just too damn hard to wrap your tiny little brain around?" This remark angers him. King Piano Muse doesn't know what to do or say. All he could think about now is about how he could no longer have the confidence to play piano and how his wife is yelling at him for no apparent reason. Just at that moment, King Piano Muse hangs his head. "I'm sorry," he whispers, "I'll leave you alone." "Please do!" shouts Queen Treble. But in the further she went into her mind, she thinks about what she has done. Queen Treble Measure shakes her head. I'm the irresponsible one, she thinks. She sighs, coming to the conclusion that she too needed time to destress. Too much stress is bad for both her and the foals. So, Queen Treble Measure takes ten minutes to lay in her bed, inhaling and exhaling until she deems necessary to talk it out in a civilised manner with King Piano. * * * Ten minutes later... "Honey, I should be the one apologising," Queen Treble says, "I didn't take your feelings into consideration. If I can't even understand your point of view and result to arguing and anger, how am I supposed to help the ponies to Equestria with their biggest problems?" At that moment, an expression that Queen Treble Measure hadn't seen in years came upon his face. King Piano Muse is smiling. "It's OK," King Piano Muse says with a reassuring smile, "When are we due again? We'll do this shit together from now on." "That's the pony I know," Queen Treble Measure says. She beams, leaning into kiss King Piano Muse when her baby bump bumps into him. The two share a laugh and Queen Treble Measure asks, "When are you going to go back to playing piano? I miss those days. Perhaps you could write some new lullabies for when the foals are born." "No, I can't. I'm sorry," King Piano Muse says, turning away, "I got over that long ago. I don't even know if I still have the gift!" Queen Treble Measure put a reassuring hoof on King Piano Muse. "We can do this shit together," she says, repeating what he said a minute ago,"Just you and me. We're a bucking team!" "Team?" says King Piano, "That sounds good to me, but done is done. I'm tired of all of this constant attention that it got to my head and I just can't go back to the way things were!" "Well, I tried, but I can't force you," Queen Treble Measure says. King Piano Muse gasps. "Wait! Haven't you heard what ponies have been saying?" King Piano Muse suddenly bursts out. "That we're shit rulers and we need to get our shit together? Yeah, I see that," Queen Treble Measure says, "We're not the best, but who cares, right? You've gotta have imperfections otherwise you aren't living a good life." "But aren't we slightly too imperfect?" King Piano Muse says. "I wouldn't say that, dear. We're just different. I mean, ponies aren't used to ponies like us who just feel when we want and do what we want," Queen Treble Measure says, "But to them it's the definition of evil." She turns to King Piano Muse. "You were saying, dear?" she says, cracking open a bottle of champagne and taking a drink. "Oh, uh, the ponies have been saying stuff like 'when there's a will, there's a way' . We can be determined to do anything though I'd rather not be the centre of the attention. I'd rather play for the enjoyment rather than for those ponies. It feels less uncomfortable," King Piano Muse says. "Then why didn't you just say so?" asks Queen Treble. How to Be Normal Lyrics We are a team Though the concept Isn't as far as it may seem Ah Ah Ah Oh The questions fill your mind The pain just wants your spirit To grind, grind, grind But must we see the dark all the time?

As he plays the first few notes, he transforms into the very first male alicorn with wings of his own. Queen Treble Measure, not being able to contain herself, begins to cry at the beauty of his music. She is and always will be the only pony allowed to hear it. Chapter 3Ten months pass and an ambulance shows up at Canterlot Castle. King Piano Muse looks at Queen Treble Measure. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asks, "Weren't you the one who called the bucking hospital?" King Piano Muse realises that she is right. "Yes, dear. And we've gotta go quick! The twins won't come out on their own!" Queen Treble Measure can't stop stressing. "Who will we put in charge of Equestria? It can't be my sisters---- they're retired!" "There's nothing to worry about, honey. Plus, stress is bad for the foals, " says King Piano Muse, "There are three young princesses in which we can choose from who are trustworthy." "And whoever are you supposing, dear?" asks Queen Treble Measure. "Oh, you know Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Sunset Shimmer, and Princess Starlight Glimmer. Surely you know them," he replies. "My sister Celestia praises that pony way too much. Is she really all that great?" Queen Treble asks, "Someday we must do something about Twilight Sparkle." "You mean 'Princess',"King Piano Muse corrects her," She's The Princess of Friendship, you know. " "Oh, I know too damn well and I don't give a shit," Queen Treble Measure says, "And hurry up and get me in the goddamn ambulance so we can get to the hospital! If Twilight comes, so be it! Apparently she's bucking better than everypony else - - - that bitch!" She looks at King Piano Muse and then at the medical ponies. "So, what the hay are waiting for? I'm the Queen, dammit! You get me to the hospital pronto otherwise I will have my foals right here and right now. Nopony wants that. Also, you don't want executed, do you?" The medical ponies lift her up and onto the bed. Then, they set her inside the ambulance with King Piano Muse using his alicorn wings to fly beside the ambulance so that she could see him. "It'll be OK," he whispers, "You can trust Twilight and her friends to rule Equestria well. Rest easy, dear." King Piano Muse, without his piano, hums a calming classical piece that he doesn't know accidentally casts a spell on Queen Treble Measure, his wife. He witnesses Queen Treble Measure fall into a deep deep sleep and he isn't sure that she'd wake up. She would not be able to see the beautiful foals being born. Not knowing what to do, King Piano Muse panics. Eventually, he loses wing control and struggles to keep his strength up so he could stay in the air. He tries and he tries, but falls straight to the ground with huge bleeding scrapes. He realises that he must consult a fairytale book. That or think of a counter spell---- and fast! King Piano Muse got back up on his hooves, massaging his wings. A counter spell and a healing spell, he thinks urgently, trying everything that he can with his magic. But even his magic is weakened, making him fall once again. "Oh my gosh! Are you OK, Your Majesty?" asks a pony passing by. "The queen, my wife, is gonna have foals. I'm gonna be a father, we'll be a family," he says, "But I accidentally cast a Sleeping Beauty spell on her when trying to calm her down. I had no idea it was gonna happen.... I was just trying to help, you see." The pony nods, encouraging him to go on. "Then I experienced weakness--- unexplainable weakness that I've never before. Have you ever had anything like that happen to you, my subject?" King Piano Muse says. "No, but if it's your magic and wings, I know who can help you, Your Majesty. Oh, and she can also reverse the spell. Come with me, Your Majesty! I'll bring you to her now." "Should I trust you, dear subject of mine?" King Piano asks. "I don't know. Should you?" the pony says. But with careful consideration, King Piano Muse decides to follow the pony. He leads him to Canterlot Castle. King Piano Muse looks up at it in awe. "Home? Why'd you bring me here?" The pony didn't answer,so King Piano Muse climbs the castle stairs until he reaches the Throneroom. "Twilight, could you please help me with something?" Twilight Sparkle looks at King Piano Muse with a look of concern. "Oh dear, what happened, My King?" she cries followed by a gasp. "Please help me. It's desperate. The queen, my wife! She was stressing out, so I tried calming her down by humming a popular classical song which is incredibly easy to play, but something terrible happened!" King Piano Muse cries, "I didn't realise that it was a spell that I accidentally cast on her and now she's Sleeping Beauty! I've lost all sense of magic, earth pony power, and flight! I was told to come to you right away." "Oh shit! That's horrible!" Twilight cries, "I'll do what I can. You hang tight. Thank goodness you came to me just in time." Twilight thinks and she thinks and she thinks, pacing around Canterlot Castle. Half an hour passes and her mind lights up. "I've got it!" "Oh great! Goody goody!" King Piano Muse says. Twilight shoots a glare at him, making King Piano Muse smile nervously. "Work your magic, Twilight," he says. "Gladly, Your Majesty," she says, "This'll take a while. Are you OK with that?" "Anything. I'll do anything, give up anything. Anything," King Piano replies. "I think that's a yes then," Twilight says. So, Twilight gets to work on curing both His Majesty and Her Majesty. Chapter 4"Alright, I've got it! Stay still, this spell will only hurt a bit," says Twilight. "Why am I listening to you? I'm the king!" King Piano Muse bellows. But then he remembers that Twilight is just doing what she was taught---- displaying friendship and kindness. So he shuts up and lets her help him. Four hours later... The ambulance is across the street from Ponyville Hospital. Thanks to Twilight, now King Piano Muse and Queen Treble Measure are happily reunited and the spell broken. "What happened?" Queen Treble Measure asks. King Piano Muse tenses up nervously. Bearing a grin, he shook his head. "Oh, I know that look! Hiding something, aren't you? Well, fine," she replies, "Maybe it's better if I don't know." "You're absolutely right, dear," King Piano Muse says, "When you get to your hospital room, remember to act as calm as possible. Don't act too unusual or shit like that." "Do you want think I don't understand that? I'm fully aware, thank you," Queen Treble says as the medical professionals take her out of the ambulance and wheel her into a hospital room specifically for delivering foals. In about a minute, Queen Treble Measure is brought into the room. "We're gonna have to put you to sleep so you don't feel much, Your Majesty," says one of the doctors. "Fine, but remember that this is the only time I'm gonna listen to a cesspool such as yourself," she demands, "I'm the goddamn queen, so after this birth shit, you begin taking orders from me. I have no interest taking orders from somepony lower than me." "If you don't want me to put you to sleep, your wish is my command, My Queen," the doctor says. "Actually, on second thought.... Proceed, you shitheaded peasant!" The doctor proceeds and in no time, two beautiful foals are born. Queen Treble Measure smiles at the twins and at King Piano Muse. She shoots an icy glare at the doctors, reminding them that they were considered common ponyfolk in the wicked eyes of Equestria's dictatorous Queen. "What shall we name them, dear?" Queen Treble Measure asks. "Since Twilight helped us, we could name them after her or one of her friends," King Piano Muse suggests. This angers Queen Treble Measure. Dainty Little Princess Lyrics Queen Treble Measure: Guess you didn't hear the story From my point of view I'll tell you What Celestia should And shouldn't do When the youngest little filly was born Yes, me The little alicorn My older sisters used to treat me well All until my life Became a living hell Twilight Sparkle Hear the name See it in lights All around Canterlot The ponies were never the same Soon I was put on the backburner Forgotten and erased That's what happens When you're replaced King Piano Muse (spoken): So terribly sorry to hear that, honey.

(Snap snap Crack crack Dead Whoa, whoa!) You're just a little (pause) Rat? Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! (song ends) King Piano Muse takes a moment to think it over. "How very wrong of me. What do you suggest?" "Now you acknowledge my right decisions," says Queen Treble Measure, "I say we call them Sharp Tune and Flat Major." "Who is who, My Queen?" asks a doctor. "I appreciate your asking," Queen Treble Measure replies with a smile, "Our daughter shall be named Princess Sharp Tune and her twin brother Flat Major." "Interesting choices," says the doctors and King Piano Muse. At that moment, Queen Treble Measure uses her magic to carry her newborn foals. When they get home, she sits them in the new crib that was given to them by Twilight Sparkle a few days ago. "Ah, what beautiful names for a family named soley on music." She sighed, and then the thought occurs to her. She looks at the crib and notices something outrageous. "What is the meaning of this?" Queen Treble Measure bellowed. "My dear, it's the least that she could do. Please accept it. We have nothing else!" cries King Piano Muse. "Are you bucking delusional? I can't accept this!" she cries, "Blast that Twilight Sparkle! This is the last time that dainty little princess meddles with MY FOALS!" Chapter 5Queen Treble Measure, in a rage quit, takes infants Sharp Tune and Flat Major, setting them on hers and King Piano Muse's bed. Then, she picks up the crib with her magic and crashes it down to the ground with a powerful blast. "I ORDER A NEW CRIB! GET IT DONE NOW!" Queen Treble Measure shouts, demanding one of her Royal Servants, Emerald Bow. Emerald Bow bows her head. "I'll have it done in a jiffy, Your Majesty," she replies. "You bucking better!" Queen Treble Measure shouts. Sharp Tune and Flat Major start crying, scared. "Shh, shh. Daddy's here," King Piano Muse says, trying to calm them down, "Mommy's just a little angry, that's all. It'll all pass. Well, hopefully." "Weaklings! How dare my children be afraid of their queen?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Ugh, they're Foals. What do you they know? Come here, you goddamn pussies." "You can't swear in front of them or treat them like you treat your subjects. I know it's hard and your childhood was rough, but that doesn't mean that we still have the chance to treat them right," King Piano Muse says. "It's hopeless. I never knew that one day I'd marry a lunatic and become a mother. But life's full of surprises, isn't it?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Oh, I'll definitely be there for them, but now I have something - er somepony I must attend to. Be good for Daddy, my little abominations. Mommy'll be back before you know it." As she trots out of the castle and out on her way to Ponyville, a twisted and menacing smile crosses her malicious face. "Here I come, Twilight Sparkle! Be bucking prepared, you goddamn worthless shit!" Chapter 6Ponies quickly shut their windows and doors, locking them securely as Queen Treble Measure trots along. They are all scared of her, but she never understood why. Focus, she tells herself, I must find Twilight. Rainbow Dash zips past her. "Hey, Your Majesty. What brings you to Ponyville?" she asks. Why should I answer her dumb questions?, Queen Treble Measure thinks. She trots right past Rainbow Dash, trying to ignore her. But it is no use. She faces Rainbow Dash with a murderous look on her face. "Oh, you know why I'm here. You're one of her friends, so can you guess?" "Let's bucking see," Rainbow Dash says, "Here to seek vengeance on Twilight?" Queen Treble Measure fakes shock. "Me, seek vengeance on your precious princess? Why would I ever do something like that, dearie? We just need to have a serious talk, that's all." "Sounds pretty goddamn fishy to me," Rainbow Dash replies, "But OK then." "Just please be on your way!" Queen Treble Measure says, getting annoyed with Rainbow Dash. "Don't you want me to help you find Twilight? I know where she is!" Rainbow exclaims. Queen Treble Measure fakes a smile. "Perfect. Show me to where the goddamn egghead is! And finally I'd be rid of the you afterwards. I won't be needing you very long." So Rainbow Dash leads Queen Treble Measure to The School of Friendship, where Twilight and Spike live in their cosy office. Queen Treble Measure, not forgetting her manners despite being a villain who simply just sees reality, thanks Rainbow Dash. Then, she politely disposes of her. Rainbow Dash falls to the ground as Queen Treble Measure opens the door. "Where the buck is Twilight Sparkle? I have beef to settle with this goddamned bitch!" shouts Queen Treble Measure. Twilight Sparkle peeks her head out of her office. "The Queen.... Dammit," Twilight curses under her breath. "What in Equestria does she want?" Spike asks. "I don't know. She's pretty mad about something," Twilight replies, "Well, I guess I've gotta deal with it, Spike. Watch the Headmare's Office while I'm out." "Yes ma'am!" he exclaims, saluting. * * * "Hi, Queen Treble Measure. What brings you to the School of Friendship?" Twilight asks uneasily. "I've come to have a serious talk with you. And drop the title, Princess. I'm not worthy of your praise," Queen Treble Measure says, "No offence, dear." "None taken," Twilight grumbles under her breath. She then faces Her Majesty. "I suppose it's not about the crib. It's the least I could do to return the money favour if you don't mind.... Did you hate it? Please tell me what you did hate it!" "Oh, more than hate, dear," Queen Treble Measure replies, looking at her hooves and then back at Twilight, "IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT!" Dainty Little Princess (Reprise) Lyrics (hypnotising Twilight) A nopony with no worth That's all that you are I never asked for my sisters To treat you like their Little precious star To me You're just a dainty little princess With a shady little sixth sense You gave me a crib With nothing in return Oh, when will you be ever learn? Little replacement You are the reason Life has gone to this! And when I'm done with you The bliss I feel Will be so true Snap, snap Crack, crack Dead You and your friends Will pay for the damage That you've done Oh, when I'm done with you All ponies are gonna say and do "You're just a dainty little princess A replacement, worthless Somepony out for attention And fame" They'll realise the queen they've neglected All of these years They'll say "You're just a dainty little princess A replacement, worthless Somepony out for attention And fame See the lights screaming out Queen Treble Measure's name!" You think you can undo what's been done But my life has been shattered What's good as gone You feel like you were Just returning the favour Oh, oh, oh! But in reality Remember this! All you'll ever be Is a dainty little princess With a shady little sixth sense Who had the nerve To give me a crib And think she wouldn't Get what's coming for her I have one question for you, Princess: You've been a shitty replacement From the start Who gave you the right To play with my heart? (song ends; Twilight thuds to the ground.) * * * "Sister, she's here,"Princess Luna tells Princess Celestia. "Who, dear sister?" Princess Celestia replies, quite perplexed. "Oh, don't be so oblivious, Celestia!" Luna snaps, "For your own sake! Can't you see outside the goddamn window? Trouble is ahoof!" "That pony doesn't look familiar in the slightest. I have no idea what you're so mad about, Luna," Princess Celestia says. She uses her magic to zoom in closer. To her surprise, Princess Celestia sees Twilight Sparkle, lifeless on the ground with her six friends surrounding her in a circle of concern. In front of Twilight's dead body, Celestia spots a very familiar pony - her and Luna's forgotten sister, Queen Treble Measure. Celestia zooms everything back to normal in a panic. "See? I was right," Princess Luna says. Princess Celestia breathes heavily as her heart pounds as the fear gets worse and worse. She backs away from the window, going as far back as to run into the walls. "Sister, are you alright? I've never seen you like this since the time I was banished to the moon!" Princess Luna cries, "Take time to unwind, inhale and exhale! Please, dear sister, don't do this to me! You're tipsy with anxiety!" So, Celestia takes Luna's advice. She sits on the royal purple couch and calms herself within minutes. "So, here's the plan." She whispers it in Princess Luna's ear, in which to her response, nods. "Let's go," they say. Chapter 7Queen Treble Measure flees the scene, leaving everypony to mourn over Twilight. She could tell that she is the victim and somepony is out there looking for her. Scared and proud of herself at the same time, she quickly flies back to Canterlot Castle, where she is met by Princess Celestia's old Royal Guards. "Thou shalt not pass!" they say. "But I'm the queen! It's my castle, Geez! How goddamn braindead are you bucks?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Let me pass, you shitheaded peasants!" "Fine. If you insist. But retired Queen Celestia won't be happy," they say, moving out of the way and lowering the drawbridge. "Who cares about my lowly sister? What did I do wrong?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Isn't Twilight the culprit here? Why can't anypony see that?" "What you did is a crime, My Queen," says one of the guards, "Twilight is a big part of Equestria. Her and her friends have saved it countless times." Queen Treble Measure snarls, looking angry as hay with her face in his. "WHAT DID YOU SAY? GUILLOTINE, ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE THE ONES TALKING BACK TO YOUR QUEEN! YOU DARE TO MOTHERBUCKING DEFY ME, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE! OFF WITH YOUR EMPTY HEADS WHICH IT SEEMS YOU CAN'T GET OF YOUR LITTLE MOTHERBUCKING ASS!" "Is everything alright, dear?" King Piano asks, "Why are you executing ponies on the spot?" "Don't question my intentions! This time, I ain't gonna sugarcoat shit. They're as good as dead to me---- just like that dainty little princess and her five lardoffs!" "That might not happen, sadly," King Piano Muse says, "They say they're here 'to put a stop to you'." Queen Treble Measure faces Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "Nice to make your acquaintance, dear sisters. Ah, it's been a while. Oh, I know! Since we're all together again, I was thinking we could have a family reunion! What do you say?" They glare at her. "Oh gosh. First you replace me and forget about me, and now you're finally back to say 'sorry'? Well, I'm afraid apologies don't come with violence. Surely you'd you know that," Queen Treble says, "For your big fat motherbucking information." "Why did you kill Twilight?" Princess Celestia asks. "Me? I did what I thought needed to be done. I'm the queen, aren't I?" Queen Treble Measure replies. "Don't try to go around it, Treble Measure!" Princess Luna chimes in. "And if I told you that I did kill your little replacement, there's nothing you can do really do about it," says Queen Treble Measure, "I had the chance to get my revenge and I took it. Didn't you always tell me to follow my heart?" She scoffs. Powerless Against Me Lyrics Queen Treble Measure (spoken) : You? Stop me? Ha! Not in your life! (sung): It isn't the first time You've had to think twice And yet, you never paid the price If you ever cared to listen And keep the promises of friendship Love and good sportsponyship You'd see why I hate her so I may be younger than you But I'm much stronger and smarter Than you two Ever will be So go ahead and stop me! Just keep in mind All my life I've been declined Ignored, erased All because of you I've been replaced So whatever you can do These feelings bottled up inside Can cause more power than you In that case You could say I killed her because I needed somepony To recognise me For who I am meant to be Face it, you're powerless against me Princess Celestia: Magic, come to me! Sister, we must combine it! That's just the way that things Are gonna be We must be strong We must do this together Because we've been doing this all along We must fight We must find a way To defeat her Princess Celestia and Luna: She'll have to realise The error of her ways Queen Treble Measure: Silly sisters! Didn't you hear what I've said? Are you really that ignorant To see that you will be the ones dead? Silly sisters! Thinking you could ever put a stop to me You couldn't do it then You can't do it now So give up And accept that this is how things Are meant to be Just keep in mind All my life I've been declined Ignored, erased All because of you I've been replaced So whatever you can do These feelings bottled up inside Can cause more power than you In that case You could say I killed her because I needed somepony To recognise me For who I am meant to be Face it, you're powerless against me Silly, silly Ignorant, really? Silly, pathetic sisters! You can't get rid of the blisters You've caused even of you tried When you replaced me You should've seen How I cried But no That can't be so You're here to end me How could I possibly know? What's next? What's my next step? I think to myself everyday And sigh It's not even my time yet But you know I can bet That I'm about to die With no heir Of age So get rid of your childish dreams Come into reality with me You'll figure out What your pitiful life really means Silly, silly Ignorant, really? Silly, pathetic sisters! You can't get rid of the blisters You've caused even of you tried When you replaced me You should've seen How I cried Here's something to consider: How would it feel if you were dead? The entire Equestria Watching the both of you Lose your precious heads! Then you'll realise Have the concept And you'll never replace me again Let this be your lesson Twilight is just somepony Who you let in And it killed me from inside That's the reason why she died! All because of the damage you caused Just please, ignore your fantasies And put them aside TWILIGHT SPARKLE WAS NOTHING AND NEVER WILL BE! Everything in Equestria belongs to me! Just keep in mind All my life I've been declined Ignored, erased All because of you I've been replaced So whatever you can do These feelings bottled up inside Can cause more power than you In that case You could say I killed her because I needed somepony To recognise me For who I am meant to be Face it, you're powerless against me Drill it in your stupid heads That's the goddamn reason Why that shitheaded cunt is dead! Princess Celestia and Luna are weakened and fall to the ground. Chapter 8Twelve years later, Princess Sharp Tune and Prince Flat Major are twelve years old. "Mom, could you tell us that story again?" Sharp Tune asks. "I did what I had to do, dear. When you're queen, you'll also have to make some difficult choices, like getting revenge on a little replacement," Queen Treble Measure replies. "Then I don't wanna be queen! If being queen means committing murder, I don't want to be any part of it!" shouts Sharp Tune, "You live your own life and do what you want as you rule! This just isn't me and you can't force me to be like that, you mad bitch!" "SHARP TUNE! COME HERE THIS INSTANT!" Queen Treble Measure shouts. "NO!" Sharp Tune says, "I'm tired of playing your game! I am tired of following your every step! I'm old enough to make my own decisions!" Going Our Separate Ways Lyrics Sharp Tune: I'm not gonna Tell you twice Someday You're gonna have to pay the price I'm not you And I'm never gonna be How 'bout you just give up I'll never be like you You can try, try, try But it's not gonna work I'm never gonna be like you So stop what you're trying to do Queen Treble Measure: I am your mother I am the queen What I say goes And you're gonna listen to me I'm the one With more experience I do what I can I do what I want I'm the one who knows But if you want We can arrange something new It's up to you Not up to me If you wanna listen or not But someday you'll pay the price I don't have to treat you like my own Maybe I could treat you With a little more spice Both: 'Cause I'm not gonna tell you twice Someday you'll have to pay the price Queen or not I hope you haven't forgot Sharp Tune: We're going our separate ways I don't wanna deal with you You don't' wanna deal with me So that's how it's gonna be Goodbye, Mother Goodbye, Father Goodbye, life Goodbye, brother Hello, Twilight I will help you see the light Again Yes, again 'Cause today I'm breaking free I'm getting away from What she made me be Queen Treble Measure (spoken): You're not going anywhere, you goddamn piece of shit! (sung): You're staying right here Where you belong You've failed me I've raised you to be strong But this is what I get I hope you never forget What I've done For you Sharp Tune: All you've done Is destroy my life Gone, gone, gone Without a care in the world Equestria would be better off With Twilight as the queen When it comes my time Equestria will be at its prime 'Cause I believe in me And you only believe in yourself What I should and shouldn't be All reflected on you That's what you do Never think before you act That is a fact! Queen Treble Measure: Listen to your mother You little naive bitch You are nothing And will never be Your brother reflects More of me than you I disapprove of what you're gonna do So, if you must So be it Be a little shit And go! Sharp Tune: Let my life be it So be it I can't stand you anymore Restricting me within these walls I'm not you When will you drill it in your head? "When will you be somepony else instead?" I am not afraid of you And whatever you can do I will venture out And make things right I will stand up And conquer their fright Twilight, here I come Auntie Celestia and Luna All of you who have succumbed I am not a murderer Nor will I ever be You must understand this Or else Equestria May be done with me If this is the way things are Then, Mother Thank your goddamn lucky star That I've stuck around That I've stood my ground And now it's time to go Leave what I have always known Away from you To safety From what you'll do next For we must go our separate ways (Queen Treble Measure: You get back here now, young lady!) I don't have to listen to you anymore The next step is all that I will take For the sake of everypony We must go our separate ways There's only one of us Whose evil stays Queen Treble Measure: You naughty, naughty girl Your brother's better than you It comes down to this And this is how it's gonna be Leave me And Equestria will be done with you! Sharp Tune (spoken): I don't care for your empty threats! You'll never kill me! (sung): I'm not afraid of you I will escape And do what's right Queen Treble Measure: You will be the queen someday What you're doing Will only bring dismay Both: I'm grown up and I'm stronger than you One day you will see The light that shines through 'Cause I'm not gonna tell you twice Someday you'll have to pay the price Queen or not I hope you haven't forgot It's time we go our separate ways (Sharp Tune: Because I'm not you And I'll never be I will rise above you Rise to my potential And show you the real me!) Bye, bye Me and you We're through Queen Treble Measure: And don't come back You're never coming back Sharp Tune: I'm never coming back Both: We're going our separate ways Hearts and feelings ablaze Bye, bye Me and you Never needed you We're through * * * Night falls. Flat Major lays awake, hearing the beautiful voice of his sister echoing in his mind. "Mom, I hear something," Flat Major says. "Go to sleep, dear. I'm sure it's nothing," Queen Treble Measure says, "And besides if it was, what is to you?" "I heard my sister's voice. Mom, this is amazing! Sharp Tune is somewhere out there! We've gotta find her!" Flat Major says. "GO TO BED, FLAT MAJOR! ENOUGH OF THIS MOTHERBUCKING RUBBISH, UNDERSTAND!?" Queen Treble Measure says. Flat Major hangs his head and trots away. He goes back to his room, still lying in his bed, wide awake. Then, Flat Major got an idea. "I'll write a song for her," he says, grabbing his guitar and songbook. Find Your Way Home Lyrics Flat Major: Disappeared without a trace Every day I still see her face Never coming back Is that good or bad? Do I deserve to be sad? Do I deserve to lie awake In my bed? Do I deserve to not be able to sleep? What does this have to do with me? Someday I bet She'll find her way home But not yet I miss her already Even though life was unsteady Before she left It's hard to not think It's hard to not feel It's hard to not believe the worst Is yet to come Goodbye, I've succumbed Someday I bet She'll remember us Someday I bet She'll come back to us Someday I bet She'll find her way home But not yet Flat Major sighs as he cries himself to sleep. Chapter 9Princess Sharp Tune is running as fast as her hooves can carry her to Ponyville. When she arrives, she is devastated to see the damage that Queen Treble Measure, her mother, had done. "No, no! I-it can't be! It's not just Princess Twilight! Everything is lost!" Princess Sharp Tune says, crying. "There, there, Princess. Come with me. It'll all be OK," says Queen Chrysalis. "Why are you helping me?" Princess Sharp Tune says, "You're evil! You're possibly working for my mother!" "Come, child. I have seen many times like these and never wished to change," Queen Chrysalis says, "The ponies that your mother hates will be destroyed right before your very eyes!" Queen Chrysalis snatches Princess Sharp Tune and throws her into a cell. "Now, what will you do?" she asks. "Get me outta here!" Sharp Tune cries, "There are ponies who need my help! Please!" "You? Help them? Well, first you've gotta help yourself, dearie," Queen Chrysalis says. Princess Sharp Tune uses her magic to set herself free. "I don't have to listen to you either! I'm my own filly and I like that! I'm tired of dealing with useless cunts trying to interfere with my goddamn life! I'm not a motherbucking baby anymore, so leave me be! I'll find them myself if I bucking have to, you shitheaded bitch!" "What a pottymouth for just a filly. Well, fine!" Queen Chrysalis says. Going Our Separate Ways (Reprise) Sharp Tune: Goodbye, I'll catch you later If only Equestria could forget her I wouldn't be so misunderstood Love me or hate me It's not gonna change Who I'm meant to be I'm me I'll find a way To bring you back To turn things around And get Equestria back on track To do that I must find you I must warn you all I can I will do what I have to Anything but killing So, I will go out of my way Just to hear you say "You saved me" And I'd say "You're welcome" If I had the courage But first I must go my separate ways Do what I came here to do And leave behind those days The past is the past I must move forward Though it will be hard I'm not saying it'll be easy I must go my separate ways Conquer everything that's happened Through all these uncertain days Auntie Celestia Auntie Luna Princess Twilight If you can hear me Please tell me I will go my separate ways And return Equestria To how it's meant to be Although it may be hard I didn't say it was easy But when I find you Will I find you? I have doubts too * * * "What's that beautiful voice?" Spike asks. "Yes! I'm getting closer! I can feel it!" Flat Major exclaims. Find Your Way Home (Reprise) Lyrics I'll find her I'll bring her home No more places to roam I've found her voice She can't be far You're my shining star Something tells me That she's here somewhere That she's getting help here My sister of mine I'm getting closer I can feel it No need to conceal it anymore Life has just opened its door! The ponies wondering what's going on Makes me know she's here I know that voice anywhere My sister I'm certain I'll find her And bring her home I'll bring her home If it's the last thing I do! "Flat Major?" Sharp Tune asks, "What are you doing here?" "Hey, sis. I missed you and wanted to bring you home, so I followed you to the ends of Equestria," Flat Major says, "I can't believe you're in Ponyville!" "Well, I'm just fine. I can take care of myself. Besides, I have business to tend to here, so get lost," Sharp Tune says. "I-I just wanted to find you. I've been searching everywhere. Dad's worried sick!" Flat Major cries. Sharp Tune stops. "Shit! I've gotta get home now!" she cries, "But right after I do something important. I must go to the Tree of Harmony and fix this!" "We don't even know what the Tree of Harmony can do to reverse this!" cries Flat Major. "Well, we've gotta try, shithead. Are you coming along or not?" she says in reply. He sighs. "If you say so, sis. I don't know what for certain it's gonna work." As the two are trotting to the Cave of Harmony, Princess Sharp Tune says, "Think positive, Flat Major! We'll find a way to reverse everything and get everypony back. Trust me! And if you ever lose hope, put your special talent to use." Flat Major rolls his eyes. "It's not all I'm good for. Cut it out, Sharp!" "I'm just saying! Sheesh!" Sharp Tune replies. * * * Ten hours later, Princess Sharp Tune and Prince Flat Major reach the Everfree Forest. "How much longer to the Tree of Harmony?" Flat Major says. She looks at the map. "The map says just a few miles. We'll be there in no time. How about we do something to pass the time?" Sharp Tune says. "But you said all hope was lost! What can we do to pass the time if everything we can think about is...." Flat Major says. "Shh... It's beautiful," Sharp Tune says, putting her hoof to her brother's muzzle as soon as they arrive. They both admire the Tree of Harmony for a while until they remember just exactly what they were doing there. The siblings have a journey and couldn't be distracted. "I can't believe it! We made it!" Sharp Tune cries, "This is amazing!" Gasping, she canters over to the side of the tree. "Holy shit!" Flat Major runs to be beside her. "What did you find, sis?" "It's some kind of scroll. Maybe this'll tell us how to help Twilight and the other princesses!" Sharp Tune exclaims. But as soon as she picks it up with her magic and about to read it, Queen Treble Measure stands in front of the Tree of Harmony, blocking them from getting to it. "Mom?" Sharp and Flat cry, "What are you doing here?" "First you defy me and then you run away! Sneaking out and going on a journey to undo what I've done! Well, I won't let you through!" Queen Treble Measure says. "I don't give a damn who the buck you are and why you're trying to stop us, but we're not like you!" Sharp Tune says. She uses her magic to pick up her mother and swing her around violently. She then set her down and throws her down a hole in the cave grounds. Motivation Song Lyrics Sharp Tune: This is our life Flat Major: This is our chance Both: To break the chains And go our separate ways Sharp Tune: This is our chance To change the course of fate To set things straight Flat Major: Equestria as we know it Sharp Tune: Will be back to normal Book, tell me what to do (she opens the book) Flat Major (Sharp Tune): Go to the Tree of Harmony (Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah Go and believe that it'll work!) The Tree of life and friendship (Ah ah ah ah Life and friendship Life and friendship! Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah!) Sing it loud for everypony to hear (Loud and clear please Feel the breeze as it goes through me Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah!) Both: This will work If we believe it will Friendship is powerful Sharp Tune: No more chances worth taking Watch how destiny unfolds Watch how it all unfolds Ah ah, watch how it all Watch how it all! Both: Get ready Get steady For things to change for the better Right before our eyes All to our surprise Waiting waiting patiently For the tree to do its magic Do its magic Do its magic Do its magic Let our hearts combine With the Elements all Promise to make Equestria never fall No more chances worth taking No more chances worth taking No more chances No more! As we watch how destiny unfolds Watch how destiny unfolds Watch how it all unfolds Have hope And watch how it all (The magic crashes all over The Cave of Harmony.) Ah ah ah ah! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It worked! Chapter 10Sharp Tune and Flat Major watch as the magic surges out all around them. Then, the magic goes back into The Tree of Harmony. "Did it work or are we just getting too ahead of ourselves?" Sharp Tune asks. Tears stream down her bluish-green face down onto the floor of the Cave of Harmony. "I can't believe it. We were so close just to fail hard." "Don't get so down on yourself, yet, sis," Flat Major says, putting a reassuring hoof on Sharp Tune, "These things just take time. I believe in the power of friendship and family. I believe in us. Remember what Dad always says?" Live in the Moment Lyrics Flat Major: Pick your head up Hope is not lost We wait a little longer Until the magic is stronger And then we see And witness the magnificent work Of you and me Sharp Tune: Come closer, my dears No need to cry All you need to know Is that you gave it your best shot You just had to try Pick your head up There's a beautiful future Waiting out there for you What will you do? Both: You can't just stay in the past Because the past doesn't last You must pick up your head And move on instead Live in the moment This is the just one component Of life Sharp Tune: Life has hardships You've just gotta learn To get through them When faced with a difficult situation You have to push through Persevere Be true to you Flat Major: Because you tried Sharp Tune: That's all that matters Flat Major: Because you cried Sharp Tune: Everything in front of you shatters Into a million pieces Because whatever the cost You did your best But that doesn't mean All hope is lost Just remember one thing And this thing only Love is everywhere The Magic of Friendship lives in you And spirals out here and there I love you so I hope you know So when everything shatters Don't give up hope Just live in the moment And be patient Both: 'Cause good things Come to those who wait Each and every Element of Harmony glows on the Tree of Harmony as the magic of friendship surges all the way through the tree. With each Element of the Harmony, one pony is saved. It is a only a matter of time until the Mane Six will be back. It went from Magic to Kindness, then to Laughter and Generosity. Princess Sharp Tune and Prince Flat Major could see silhouettes of Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, just willing to be resurrected. Ten seconds later, the magic seeps through the Honesty and Loyalty shards. "It's working! I knew being patient would steer us in the right direction!" Sharp Tune exclaims. A few seconds after the Honesty and Loyalty shards are no longer inactive, silhouettes of Rainbow Dash and Applejack appear. At the time of their appearance, Sharp Tune and Flat Major could spot the silhouette of Twilight slowly reforming into a resurrected pony. Following her came Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity. "Ooh! We're so close!" Sharp Tune exclaims, "Isn't this just grand, Flat Major?" "I knew we could do it, sis!" He starts to ponder. "What's going on, Flat?" Sharp Tune asks, "Aren't you happy?" "Yeah. Just thinking," Flat Major replies. "Ponder later, buckwad," Sharp Tune says, "Unless it's that damned important that it can't wait. Tell me what you're thinking of." Flat Major sighs. "You've got me, sis. I was wondering who would be Queen of Equestria without Mom." "Equestria doesn't need us yet, jackass. Come on, don't be a dumbass. There's still Dad," says Sharp Tune, "Besides, if he's still around, ponies don't need another leader. They've got their king." Flat Major smiles and lets out a hearty laugh. "You're starting to remind me of Mom, sis. But you aren't her and you never will be." "Damn straight," Sharp Tune says. They both share laughter until they realise all of the Mane Six standing before them. "I don't know how I can ever repay you two!" Twilight cries. "It's fine, Princess. You don't need to do anything. We're indebted to you," Sharp Tune says with a warm grin. "Whoa! Are you the Royal Twins?" Pinkie chirps, "Being raised by the Queen of Equestria must've been difficult!" "Yes. And who might you be?" Flat Major replies. "We shouldn't be talking to you...," Twilight says, backing away, "We don't know who you are and what you'll do." "We just saved your asses and this is how you treat us?" Sharp Tune says, hurt by the comment, "Maybe we shouldn't have gone through all this to bring you back after our mother killed you out of revenge!" She spreads her wings and storms off. Flat Major holds out his hoof. "Sis, please! I know you're upset, but please understand where they're coming from!" "Go away, Flat Major. You've done enough. As Queen in Training, I decree you go back home!" Sharp Tune declares. "You can't do this! Think about all that we've been through! Our long journey to save Princess Twilight and her friends from Mom's rampage!" "I've tried my whole life to prove to everypony that we are our own ponies, but nopony listens to us. What's the point anymore?" Sharp Tune says, huddling her hooves together and crying with her face in hooves, "I'm a nopony. Just accept it. I've been waiting for this day to come and now it has." "Sharp Tune! Sharp Tune, what are you saying? Please!" Flat Major cries. She begins to sob even more as she tries to explode herself with her magic. "Goodbye." "No! NO!" he cries, reaching out his hoof. When he heard it, he struggles to get up and move along, breaking down and crying. "All hope really is gone," Flat Major says. Author's Note This isn't the end. I want a happy ending, so you just wait and see for the final chapters! Chapter 11Twilight hangs her head, thinking about what she has just said to Sharp Tune. It was very unlike me to just say something like that...., she thinks, Now everything is the absolute worst.... Because of me. Twilight flies away from her friends and hides behind a nearby rock, crying. Reflection Lyrics Twilight Sparkle: What have I done? The Princess of Friendship But how can I now Live up to my name? I look around and see My reflection staring back at me Tormenting me Who am I even meant to be? These wings are worthless If only I wasn't so thoughtless I wouldn't be here reflecting Seeing what I have just done All of my friends gone What am I living for? What am I supposed to do? My reflection She haunts me I can't seem to get her Out of my mind Everywhere I turn I keep saying things That just go in the wrong direction When will I learn? When will I own up And apologise? Maybe I should have Just thrown away the crown Then my actions wouldn't have gone to waste Wouldn't get me so down I am no Princess of Friendship If I can't say the right thing I see her in the water I see her in the air I see her all around me Oh, I see her everywhere! Well, sometime I've gotta own up Face it like the grownup Which I am But how will I even try If all I can do is cry? Oh, I see my reflection And she's making fun of me She's telling me that My coronation wasn't meant to be I should've stayed a naive little unicorn Imagine life with only your horn Princess of Friendship Princess of Friendship She calls me Now she sees all that I am And can be She believes in me! I look around and see My reflection staring back at me Telling me to go and say I'm sorry That I shouldn't mope around Think about the present The here and the now If you're stuck in visualising ways To change the past You know your life won't last Very long I'm living in the moment Owning up to my mistake This is the step that I must take You are still the Princess of Friendship Even though sometimes you don't realise That you've treated others like shit When you don't even When you don't even Know what you did Before you did it Here I go Here I go! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Yeah, I've gotta own up I need to pick myself up And be strong 'Cause when you're thinking About the past You won't last very long Chapter 12Twilight Sparkle makes her way back, her friends all worried about what had just happened. She shakes her head and then picks it up again. Flat Major turns around to see Twilight. "Oh my gosh, Twilight! I'm glad you're here! It's my sister!" he cries, "Come quick!" Twilight Sparkle runs over to Flat Major and falls pale. "Wh-what happened here, Flat Major?" Twilight Sparkle says. Flat Major bows his head to his sister's, Sharp Tune's body and cries. As Twilight notices the death of Sharp Tune, she is devastated. "What have I done? I-I can't forgive myself for this.... How did she die?" "She committed suicide because of what you said. I tried to stop her before she exploded herself with her magic, but it was no use," Flat Major replies, "What you said was an accident, right, Princess?" "No, I-I don't deserve the title.... I-I had no idea this would happen because of something that just slipped out...." Twilight Sparkle says. "Princess, it's not your fault," Flat Major says. "Actually it is. I came here to apologise, but now I have nopony to apologise to!" Twilight snaps. "Twilight, really. Stop thinking negative thoughts. It's not your fault. You didn't mean to say it, and I can't control what happens in the life of others!" Flat Major shouts, getting impatient. Twilight Sparkle hangs her head in silence as she thinks everything over. "I'm sorry," she whispers sadly as tears stream down her face. The rest of the Mane Six trot over and put reassuring hooves on Twilight. "Flat Major is right," her friends say, "Sometimes things happen that you can't control." Reflection (Reprise) Twilight Sparkle: It was an accident Did you hear me Loud and clear? But no You don't care You don't want to know You say I'm trapped You say I must quit holding on That all hope is gone Now I see you everywhere I go What will it take for you to know That I give into you Because I have no idea what I'm gonna do I didn't mean to say it It just slipped out But I deserve it I don't mind if you don't quit Haunting me My reflection stares back at me Too late to say sorry She's dead She's gone There's nothing else that I can do To help myself and you If only my reflection Could send a sign A helpful connection Just anything that you can do To bring her back just fine My reflection works against me again I can't stop it, my friend When, just when Will I look at myself and see the light? Shining so bright Making things right When you've tried everything And you don't know What to do When you've got your reflection Staring back at you You're looking for an answer But sadly, none ever come When you are constantly dealing with your reflection Without anything to live for But you must because you've found a way before It's just my reflection Staring right back at me Wishing that this will help you Come back to me If you could hear me cry You'd realise that I'm here to help And say I'm sorry Crying, Twilight's tears flow into Sharp Tune's lifeless body. Chapter 1In present day Canterlot, there is a new King and Queen of Equestria. Both ponies were given the gift of art. Queen Treble Measure possesses the gift of painting with oil pastels, but her husband, King Piano Muse is true to his name. He loves music and can play its wondrous tunes on end without stopping. And you know wouldn't believe how beautiful it is. Everyday in Canterlot, ponies ask him to play for their filly's birthday parties and even to sleep. But one day, he just had enough. Sure, King Piano Muse still loved the relaxing beauties of the pianic sound, but he was tired of all this constant attention that made him lie awake every night. That night, Queen Treble Measure is very concerned for the fate of the her beloved husband. She wants to ask him what is wrong, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She sighs and turns over with her head on his body. The warmth reminds her of their love for each other, making her forget about everything until three hours later. The fear made Queen Treble awake and look around the Royal bedchambers. It is 1:00 A. M. She looks outside and sees the dark sky. It doesn't help though. She sighs and crawls back into bed, but can't sleep one bit. The image haunts her in her mind. Trying to forget it, she tumbles around until something happened that she didn't realise. Unaware of what is going on in her current emotional state, she reaches out to King Piano Muse. "If I can't get over this depression easily, then I will have to act," she whispers to herself, "I'll have to love him before it's time to wake up." Author's Note Chapter 1 complete! Chapter 13In minutes, Sharp Tune sits up and looks around. "Twilight? I-I thought....," she says. Twilight Sparkle sighs. "I shouldn't have judged a book by its cover. Just because your mother was a terrible pony doesn't mean that you are the same. I'm sorry." Flat Major smiles and gestures to Twilight after hugging Sharp Tune. "For what you said then, how am I supposed to know that it was an accident? It still felt like a knife piercing knife through me, but I'll let it slide," Sharp Tune says, "You fixed everything by bringing me back to life, so it's the best I can do. In other words, it's OK." All Together Lyrics Sharp Tune: Sometimes we make mistakes Some worse than others But nothing cannot be forgiven The Magic of Friendship is all it takes Twilight Sparkle: Just remember this rule And you'll live a respectable life When you are true to you Flat Major: Mistakes happen We aren't perfect Though some things May be hard to forgive It's nothing worth Not desiring to live All: All together With our flawless imperfections We know that we screw up And no matter how bad We'll always be glad Sharp Tune: No matter how bad I've got friends by my side They're here for me They've always got my back So I've got nothing to hide All: All together With our flawless imperfections We know that we screw up And no matter how bad We'll always be glad Sharp Tune: Sticks and stones May break my bones But I'm strong now I know that words'll never me How? Because I'm true to who I am meant to be All: A circle of friends Sharp Tune: With siblings Everypony you can count on Who understands! Twilight Sparkle: Sometimes we all slip up But that's OK Friendship isn't easy Otherwise life skills Would be breezy Flat Major: Nopony understands Quite like your friends And family Sharp Tune: So open your heart Spill whatever's inside You've nothing to hide If I don't We can all trust each other Friends and your brother Everypony is the same In different ways But I won't stand for being the same We all have a, different name We may all make the same mistakes Truck through life whatever it takes Friendship means that we're a team Teams stick together no matter what And there's no I in team All: And there's no I in team And there's no I There's no I There's no I! Sharp Tune and Flat Major: In team! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Author's Note Well everypony, you've made it to the end. Hope you liked it!
Chapter 2The next morning, Queen Treble Measure and King Piano Muse wake up to see that Queen Treble Measure is pregnant with twins. King Piano Muse stares at her for a while. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Queen Treble Measure asks, "If it's about this baby bump, then you can be the one to explain." "I'm not gonna ask about it," King Piano Muse replies. "Are you seriously still going on about how overwhelmed performing is for you? Gosh, I thought you were stronger than that, but apparently not," Queen Treble Measure says. "My dear, what is it you're going on about? This sudden mood, where the hay did it come from?" he says. "I felt concerned all night last night about you and couldn't sleep. I couldn't bear the pain that you were experiencing anymore, so I thought that I should crawl back into bed and see what else I could do," she replies, "I was only trying to cope and loving you was the only way I could get rid of the pain." "I didn't even know!" King Piano Muse cries. "Well, life is full of surprises. Get used to it," Queen Treble replies, "Can't you just be happy for me? For us? Or is that just too damn hard to wrap your tiny little brain around?" This remark angers him. King Piano Muse doesn't know what to do or say. All he could think about now is about how he could no longer have the confidence to play piano and how his wife is yelling at him for no apparent reason. Just at that moment, King Piano Muse hangs his head. "I'm sorry," he whispers, "I'll leave you alone." "Please do!" shouts Queen Treble. But in the further she went into her mind, she thinks about what she has done. Queen Treble Measure shakes her head. I'm the irresponsible one, she thinks. She sighs, coming to the conclusion that she too needed time to destress. Too much stress is bad for both her and the foals. So, Queen Treble Measure takes ten minutes to lay in her bed, inhaling and exhaling until she deems necessary to talk it out in a civilised manner with King Piano. * * * Ten minutes later... "Honey, I should be the one apologising," Queen Treble says, "I didn't take your feelings into consideration. If I can't even understand your point of view and result to arguing and anger, how am I supposed to help the ponies to Equestria with their biggest problems?" At that moment, an expression that Queen Treble Measure hadn't seen in years came upon his face. King Piano Muse is smiling. "It's OK," King Piano Muse says with a reassuring smile, "When are we due again? We'll do this shit together from now on." "That's the pony I know," Queen Treble Measure says. She beams, leaning into kiss King Piano Muse when her baby bump bumps into him. The two share a laugh and Queen Treble Measure asks, "When are you going to go back to playing piano? I miss those days. Perhaps you could write some new lullabies for when the foals are born." "No, I can't. I'm sorry," King Piano Muse says, turning away, "I got over that long ago. I don't even know if I still have the gift!" Queen Treble Measure put a reassuring hoof on King Piano Muse. "We can do this shit together," she says, repeating what he said a minute ago,"Just you and me. We're a bucking team!" "Team?" says King Piano, "That sounds good to me, but done is done. I'm tired of all of this constant attention that it got to my head and I just can't go back to the way things were!" "Well, I tried, but I can't force you," Queen Treble Measure says. King Piano Muse gasps. "Wait! Haven't you heard what ponies have been saying?" King Piano Muse suddenly bursts out. "That we're shit rulers and we need to get our shit together? Yeah, I see that," Queen Treble Measure says, "We're not the best, but who cares, right? You've gotta have imperfections otherwise you aren't living a good life." "But aren't we slightly too imperfect?" King Piano Muse says. "I wouldn't say that, dear. We're just different. I mean, ponies aren't used to ponies like us who just feel when we want and do what we want," Queen Treble Measure says, "But to them it's the definition of evil." She turns to King Piano Muse. "You were saying, dear?" she says, cracking open a bottle of champagne and taking a drink. "Oh, uh, the ponies have been saying stuff like 'when there's a will, there's a way' . We can be determined to do anything though I'd rather not be the centre of the attention. I'd rather play for the enjoyment rather than for those ponies. It feels less uncomfortable," King Piano Muse says. "Then why didn't you just say so?" asks Queen Treble.

As he plays the first few notes, he transforms into the very first male alicorn with wings of his own. Queen Treble Measure, not being able to contain herself, begins to cry at the beauty of his music. She is and always will be the only pony allowed to hear it.
Chapter 3Ten months pass and an ambulance shows up at Canterlot Castle. King Piano Muse looks at Queen Treble Measure. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asks, "Weren't you the one who called the bucking hospital?" King Piano Muse realises that she is right. "Yes, dear. And we've gotta go quick! The twins won't come out on their own!" Queen Treble Measure can't stop stressing. "Who will we put in charge of Equestria? It can't be my sisters---- they're retired!" "There's nothing to worry about, honey. Plus, stress is bad for the foals, " says King Piano Muse, "There are three young princesses in which we can choose from who are trustworthy." "And whoever are you supposing, dear?" asks Queen Treble Measure. "Oh, you know Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Sunset Shimmer, and Princess Starlight Glimmer. Surely you know them," he replies. "My sister Celestia praises that pony way too much. Is she really all that great?" Queen Treble asks, "Someday we must do something about Twilight Sparkle." "You mean 'Princess',"King Piano Muse corrects her," She's The Princess of Friendship, you know. " "Oh, I know too damn well and I don't give a shit," Queen Treble Measure says, "And hurry up and get me in the goddamn ambulance so we can get to the hospital! If Twilight comes, so be it! Apparently she's bucking better than everypony else - - - that bitch!" She looks at King Piano Muse and then at the medical ponies. "So, what the hay are waiting for? I'm the Queen, dammit! You get me to the hospital pronto otherwise I will have my foals right here and right now. Nopony wants that. Also, you don't want executed, do you?" The medical ponies lift her up and onto the bed. Then, they set her inside the ambulance with King Piano Muse using his alicorn wings to fly beside the ambulance so that she could see him. "It'll be OK," he whispers, "You can trust Twilight and her friends to rule Equestria well. Rest easy, dear." King Piano Muse, without his piano, hums a calming classical piece that he doesn't know accidentally casts a spell on Queen Treble Measure, his wife. He witnesses Queen Treble Measure fall into a deep deep sleep and he isn't sure that she'd wake up. She would not be able to see the beautiful foals being born. Not knowing what to do, King Piano Muse panics. Eventually, he loses wing control and struggles to keep his strength up so he could stay in the air. He tries and he tries, but falls straight to the ground with huge bleeding scrapes. He realises that he must consult a fairytale book. That or think of a counter spell---- and fast! King Piano Muse got back up on his hooves, massaging his wings. A counter spell and a healing spell, he thinks urgently, trying everything that he can with his magic. But even his magic is weakened, making him fall once again. "Oh my gosh! Are you OK, Your Majesty?" asks a pony passing by. "The queen, my wife, is gonna have foals. I'm gonna be a father, we'll be a family," he says, "But I accidentally cast a Sleeping Beauty spell on her when trying to calm her down. I had no idea it was gonna happen.... I was just trying to help, you see." The pony nods, encouraging him to go on. "Then I experienced weakness--- unexplainable weakness that I've never before. Have you ever had anything like that happen to you, my subject?" King Piano Muse says. "No, but if it's your magic and wings, I know who can help you, Your Majesty. Oh, and she can also reverse the spell. Come with me, Your Majesty! I'll bring you to her now." "Should I trust you, dear subject of mine?" King Piano asks. "I don't know. Should you?" the pony says. But with careful consideration, King Piano Muse decides to follow the pony. He leads him to Canterlot Castle. King Piano Muse looks up at it in awe. "Home? Why'd you bring me here?" The pony didn't answer,so King Piano Muse climbs the castle stairs until he reaches the Throneroom. "Twilight, could you please help me with something?" Twilight Sparkle looks at King Piano Muse with a look of concern. "Oh dear, what happened, My King?" she cries followed by a gasp. "Please help me. It's desperate. The queen, my wife! She was stressing out, so I tried calming her down by humming a popular classical song which is incredibly easy to play, but something terrible happened!" King Piano Muse cries, "I didn't realise that it was a spell that I accidentally cast on her and now she's Sleeping Beauty! I've lost all sense of magic, earth pony power, and flight! I was told to come to you right away." "Oh shit! That's horrible!" Twilight cries, "I'll do what I can. You hang tight. Thank goodness you came to me just in time." Twilight thinks and she thinks and she thinks, pacing around Canterlot Castle. Half an hour passes and her mind lights up. "I've got it!" "Oh great! Goody goody!" King Piano Muse says. Twilight shoots a glare at him, making King Piano Muse smile nervously. "Work your magic, Twilight," he says. "Gladly, Your Majesty," she says, "This'll take a while. Are you OK with that?" "Anything. I'll do anything, give up anything. Anything," King Piano replies. "I think that's a yes then," Twilight says. So, Twilight gets to work on curing both His Majesty and Her Majesty.
Chapter 4"Alright, I've got it! Stay still, this spell will only hurt a bit," says Twilight. "Why am I listening to you? I'm the king!" King Piano Muse bellows. But then he remembers that Twilight is just doing what she was taught---- displaying friendship and kindness. So he shuts up and lets her help him. Four hours later... The ambulance is across the street from Ponyville Hospital. Thanks to Twilight, now King Piano Muse and Queen Treble Measure are happily reunited and the spell broken. "What happened?" Queen Treble Measure asks. King Piano Muse tenses up nervously. Bearing a grin, he shook his head. "Oh, I know that look! Hiding something, aren't you? Well, fine," she replies, "Maybe it's better if I don't know." "You're absolutely right, dear," King Piano Muse says, "When you get to your hospital room, remember to act as calm as possible. Don't act too unusual or shit like that." "Do you want think I don't understand that? I'm fully aware, thank you," Queen Treble says as the medical professionals take her out of the ambulance and wheel her into a hospital room specifically for delivering foals. In about a minute, Queen Treble Measure is brought into the room. "We're gonna have to put you to sleep so you don't feel much, Your Majesty," says one of the doctors. "Fine, but remember that this is the only time I'm gonna listen to a cesspool such as yourself," she demands, "I'm the goddamn queen, so after this birth shit, you begin taking orders from me. I have no interest taking orders from somepony lower than me." "If you don't want me to put you to sleep, your wish is my command, My Queen," the doctor says. "Actually, on second thought.... Proceed, you shitheaded peasant!" The doctor proceeds and in no time, two beautiful foals are born. Queen Treble Measure smiles at the twins and at King Piano Muse. She shoots an icy glare at the doctors, reminding them that they were considered common ponyfolk in the wicked eyes of Equestria's dictatorous Queen. "What shall we name them, dear?" Queen Treble Measure asks. "Since Twilight helped us, we could name them after her or one of her friends," King Piano Muse suggests. This angers Queen Treble Measure. Dainty Little Princess Lyrics Queen Treble Measure: Guess you didn't hear the story From my point of view I'll tell you What Celestia should And shouldn't do When the youngest little filly was born Yes, me The little alicorn My older sisters used to treat me well All until my life Became a living hell Twilight Sparkle Hear the name See it in lights All around Canterlot The ponies were never the same Soon I was put on the backburner Forgotten and erased That's what happens When you're replaced King Piano Muse (spoken): So terribly sorry to hear that, honey.

(Snap snap Crack crack Dead Whoa, whoa!) You're just a little (pause) Rat? Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa! (song ends) King Piano Muse takes a moment to think it over. "How very wrong of me. What do you suggest?" "Now you acknowledge my right decisions," says Queen Treble Measure, "I say we call them Sharp Tune and Flat Major." "Who is who, My Queen?" asks a doctor. "I appreciate your asking," Queen Treble Measure replies with a smile, "Our daughter shall be named Princess Sharp Tune and her twin brother Flat Major." "Interesting choices," says the doctors and King Piano Muse. At that moment, Queen Treble Measure uses her magic to carry her newborn foals. When they get home, she sits them in the new crib that was given to them by Twilight Sparkle a few days ago. "Ah, what beautiful names for a family named soley on music." She sighed, and then the thought occurs to her. She looks at the crib and notices something outrageous. "What is the meaning of this?" Queen Treble Measure bellowed. "My dear, it's the least that she could do. Please accept it. We have nothing else!" cries King Piano Muse. "Are you bucking delusional? I can't accept this!" she cries, "Blast that Twilight Sparkle! This is the last time that dainty little princess meddles with MY FOALS!"
Chapter 5Queen Treble Measure, in a rage quit, takes infants Sharp Tune and Flat Major, setting them on hers and King Piano Muse's bed. Then, she picks up the crib with her magic and crashes it down to the ground with a powerful blast. "I ORDER A NEW CRIB! GET IT DONE NOW!" Queen Treble Measure shouts, demanding one of her Royal Servants, Emerald Bow. Emerald Bow bows her head. "I'll have it done in a jiffy, Your Majesty," she replies. "You bucking better!" Queen Treble Measure shouts. Sharp Tune and Flat Major start crying, scared. "Shh, shh. Daddy's here," King Piano Muse says, trying to calm them down, "Mommy's just a little angry, that's all. It'll all pass. Well, hopefully." "Weaklings! How dare my children be afraid of their queen?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Ugh, they're Foals. What do you they know? Come here, you goddamn pussies." "You can't swear in front of them or treat them like you treat your subjects. I know it's hard and your childhood was rough, but that doesn't mean that we still have the chance to treat them right," King Piano Muse says. "It's hopeless. I never knew that one day I'd marry a lunatic and become a mother. But life's full of surprises, isn't it?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Oh, I'll definitely be there for them, but now I have something - er somepony I must attend to. Be good for Daddy, my little abominations. Mommy'll be back before you know it." As she trots out of the castle and out on her way to Ponyville, a twisted and menacing smile crosses her malicious face. "Here I come, Twilight Sparkle! Be bucking prepared, you goddamn worthless shit!"
Chapter 6Ponies quickly shut their windows and doors, locking them securely as Queen Treble Measure trots along. They are all scared of her, but she never understood why. Focus, she tells herself, I must find Twilight. Rainbow Dash zips past her. "Hey, Your Majesty. What brings you to Ponyville?" she asks. Why should I answer her dumb questions?, Queen Treble Measure thinks. She trots right past Rainbow Dash, trying to ignore her. But it is no use. She faces Rainbow Dash with a murderous look on her face. "Oh, you know why I'm here. You're one of her friends, so can you guess?" "Let's bucking see," Rainbow Dash says, "Here to seek vengeance on Twilight?" Queen Treble Measure fakes shock. "Me, seek vengeance on your precious princess? Why would I ever do something like that, dearie? We just need to have a serious talk, that's all." "Sounds pretty goddamn fishy to me," Rainbow Dash replies, "But OK then." "Just please be on your way!" Queen Treble Measure says, getting annoyed with Rainbow Dash. "Don't you want me to help you find Twilight? I know where she is!" Rainbow exclaims. Queen Treble Measure fakes a smile. "Perfect. Show me to where the goddamn egghead is! And finally I'd be rid of the you afterwards. I won't be needing you very long." So Rainbow Dash leads Queen Treble Measure to The School of Friendship, where Twilight and Spike live in their cosy office. Queen Treble Measure, not forgetting her manners despite being a villain who simply just sees reality, thanks Rainbow Dash. Then, she politely disposes of her. Rainbow Dash falls to the ground as Queen Treble Measure opens the door. "Where the buck is Twilight Sparkle? I have beef to settle with this goddamned bitch!" shouts Queen Treble Measure. Twilight Sparkle peeks her head out of her office. "The Queen.... Dammit," Twilight curses under her breath. "What in Equestria does she want?" Spike asks. "I don't know. She's pretty mad about something," Twilight replies, "Well, I guess I've gotta deal with it, Spike. Watch the Headmare's Office while I'm out." "Yes ma'am!" he exclaims, saluting. * * * "Hi, Queen Treble Measure. What brings you to the School of Friendship?" Twilight asks uneasily. "I've come to have a serious talk with you. And drop the title, Princess. I'm not worthy of your praise," Queen Treble Measure says, "No offence, dear." "None taken," Twilight grumbles under her breath. She then faces Her Majesty. "I suppose it's not about the crib. It's the least I could do to return the money favour if you don't mind.... Did you hate it? Please tell me what you did hate it!" "Oh, more than hate, dear," Queen Treble Measure replies, looking at her hooves and then back at Twilight, "IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT!" Dainty Little Princess (Reprise) Lyrics (hypnotising Twilight) A nopony with no worth That's all that you are I never asked for my sisters To treat you like their Little precious star To me You're just a dainty little princess With a shady little sixth sense You gave me a crib With nothing in return Oh, when will you be ever learn? Little replacement You are the reason Life has gone to this! And when I'm done with you The bliss I feel Will be so true Snap, snap Crack, crack Dead You and your friends Will pay for the damage That you've done Oh, when I'm done with you All ponies are gonna say and do "You're just a dainty little princess A replacement, worthless Somepony out for attention And fame" They'll realise the queen they've neglected All of these years They'll say "You're just a dainty little princess A replacement, worthless Somepony out for attention And fame See the lights screaming out Queen Treble Measure's name!" You think you can undo what's been done But my life has been shattered What's good as gone You feel like you were Just returning the favour Oh, oh, oh! But in reality Remember this! All you'll ever be Is a dainty little princess With a shady little sixth sense Who had the nerve To give me a crib And think she wouldn't Get what's coming for her I have one question for you, Princess: You've been a shitty replacement From the start Who gave you the right To play with my heart? (song ends; Twilight thuds to the ground.) * * * "Sister, she's here,"Princess Luna tells Princess Celestia. "Who, dear sister?" Princess Celestia replies, quite perplexed. "Oh, don't be so oblivious, Celestia!" Luna snaps, "For your own sake! Can't you see outside the goddamn window? Trouble is ahoof!" "That pony doesn't look familiar in the slightest. I have no idea what you're so mad about, Luna," Princess Celestia says. She uses her magic to zoom in closer. To her surprise, Princess Celestia sees Twilight Sparkle, lifeless on the ground with her six friends surrounding her in a circle of concern. In front of Twilight's dead body, Celestia spots a very familiar pony - her and Luna's forgotten sister, Queen Treble Measure. Celestia zooms everything back to normal in a panic. "See? I was right," Princess Luna says. Princess Celestia breathes heavily as her heart pounds as the fear gets worse and worse. She backs away from the window, going as far back as to run into the walls. "Sister, are you alright? I've never seen you like this since the time I was banished to the moon!" Princess Luna cries, "Take time to unwind, inhale and exhale! Please, dear sister, don't do this to me! You're tipsy with anxiety!" So, Celestia takes Luna's advice. She sits on the royal purple couch and calms herself within minutes. "So, here's the plan." She whispers it in Princess Luna's ear, in which to her response, nods. "Let's go," they say.
Chapter 7Queen Treble Measure flees the scene, leaving everypony to mourn over Twilight. She could tell that she is the victim and somepony is out there looking for her. Scared and proud of herself at the same time, she quickly flies back to Canterlot Castle, where she is met by Princess Celestia's old Royal Guards. "Thou shalt not pass!" they say. "But I'm the queen! It's my castle, Geez! How goddamn braindead are you bucks?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Let me pass, you shitheaded peasants!" "Fine. If you insist. But retired Queen Celestia won't be happy," they say, moving out of the way and lowering the drawbridge. "Who cares about my lowly sister? What did I do wrong?" Queen Treble Measure says, "Isn't Twilight the culprit here? Why can't anypony see that?" "What you did is a crime, My Queen," says one of the guards, "Twilight is a big part of Equestria. Her and her friends have saved it countless times." Queen Treble Measure snarls, looking angry as hay with her face in his. "WHAT DID YOU SAY? GUILLOTINE, ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE THE ONES TALKING BACK TO YOUR QUEEN! YOU DARE TO MOTHERBUCKING DEFY ME, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE! OFF WITH YOUR EMPTY HEADS WHICH IT SEEMS YOU CAN'T GET OF YOUR LITTLE MOTHERBUCKING ASS!" "Is everything alright, dear?" King Piano asks, "Why are you executing ponies on the spot?" "Don't question my intentions! This time, I ain't gonna sugarcoat shit. They're as good as dead to me---- just like that dainty little princess and her five lardoffs!" "That might not happen, sadly," King Piano Muse says, "They say they're here 'to put a stop to you'." Queen Treble Measure faces Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "Nice to make your acquaintance, dear sisters. Ah, it's been a while. Oh, I know! Since we're all together again, I was thinking we could have a family reunion! What do you say?" They glare at her. "Oh gosh. First you replace me and forget about me, and now you're finally back to say 'sorry'? Well, I'm afraid apologies don't come with violence. Surely you'd you know that," Queen Treble says, "For your big fat motherbucking information." "Why did you kill Twilight?" Princess Celestia asks. "Me? I did what I thought needed to be done. I'm the queen, aren't I?" Queen Treble Measure replies. "Don't try to go around it, Treble Measure!" Princess Luna chimes in. "And if I told you that I did kill your little replacement, there's nothing you can do really do about it," says Queen Treble Measure, "I had the chance to get my revenge and I took it. Didn't you always tell me to follow my heart?" She scoffs. Powerless Against Me Lyrics Queen Treble Measure (spoken) : You? Stop me? Ha! Not in your life! (sung): It isn't the first time You've had to think twice And yet, you never paid the price If you ever cared to listen And keep the promises of friendship Love and good sportsponyship You'd see why I hate her so I may be younger than you But I'm much stronger and smarter Than you two Ever will be So go ahead and stop me! Just keep in mind All my life I've been declined Ignored, erased All because of you I've been replaced So whatever you can do These feelings bottled up inside Can cause more power than you In that case You could say I killed her because I needed somepony To recognise me For who I am meant to be Face it, you're powerless against me Princess Celestia: Magic, come to me! Sister, we must combine it! That's just the way that things Are gonna be We must be strong We must do this together Because we've been doing this all along We must fight We must find a way To defeat her Princess Celestia and Luna: She'll have to realise The error of her ways Queen Treble Measure: Silly sisters! Didn't you hear what I've said? Are you really that ignorant To see that you will be the ones dead? Silly sisters! Thinking you could ever put a stop to me You couldn't do it then You can't do it now So give up And accept that this is how things Are meant to be Just keep in mind All my life I've been declined Ignored, erased All because of you I've been replaced So whatever you can do These feelings bottled up inside Can cause more power than you In that case You could say I killed her because I needed somepony To recognise me For who I am meant to be Face it, you're powerless against me Silly, silly Ignorant, really? Silly, pathetic sisters! You can't get rid of the blisters You've caused even of you tried When you replaced me You should've seen How I cried But no That can't be so You're here to end me How could I possibly know? What's next? What's my next step? I think to myself everyday And sigh It's not even my time yet But you know I can bet That I'm about to die With no heir Of age So get rid of your childish dreams Come into reality with me You'll figure out What your pitiful life really means Silly, silly Ignorant, really? Silly, pathetic sisters! You can't get rid of the blisters You've caused even of you tried When you replaced me You should've seen How I cried Here's something to consider: How would it feel if you were dead? The entire Equestria Watching the both of you Lose your precious heads! Then you'll realise Have the concept And you'll never replace me again Let this be your lesson Twilight is just somepony Who you let in And it killed me from inside That's the reason why she died! All because of the damage you caused Just please, ignore your fantasies And put them aside TWILIGHT SPARKLE WAS NOTHING AND NEVER WILL BE! Everything in Equestria belongs to me! Just keep in mind All my life I've been declined Ignored, erased All because of you I've been replaced So whatever you can do These feelings bottled up inside Can cause more power than you In that case You could say I killed her because I needed somepony To recognise me For who I am meant to be Face it, you're powerless against me Drill it in your stupid heads That's the goddamn reason Why that shitheaded cunt is dead! Princess Celestia and Luna are weakened and fall to the ground.
Chapter 8Twelve years later, Princess Sharp Tune and Prince Flat Major are twelve years old. "Mom, could you tell us that story again?" Sharp Tune asks. "I did what I had to do, dear. When you're queen, you'll also have to make some difficult choices, like getting revenge on a little replacement," Queen Treble Measure replies. "Then I don't wanna be queen! If being queen means committing murder, I don't want to be any part of it!" shouts Sharp Tune, "You live your own life and do what you want as you rule! This just isn't me and you can't force me to be like that, you mad bitch!" "SHARP TUNE! COME HERE THIS INSTANT!" Queen Treble Measure shouts. "NO!" Sharp Tune says, "I'm tired of playing your game! I am tired of following your every step! I'm old enough to make my own decisions!" Going Our Separate Ways Lyrics Sharp Tune: I'm not gonna Tell you twice Someday You're gonna have to pay the price I'm not you And I'm never gonna be How 'bout you just give up I'll never be like you You can try, try, try But it's not gonna work I'm never gonna be like you So stop what you're trying to do Queen Treble Measure: I am your mother I am the queen What I say goes And you're gonna listen to me I'm the one With more experience I do what I can I do what I want I'm the one who knows But if you want We can arrange something new It's up to you Not up to me If you wanna listen or not But someday you'll pay the price I don't have to treat you like my own Maybe I could treat you With a little more spice Both: 'Cause I'm not gonna tell you twice Someday you'll have to pay the price Queen or not I hope you haven't forgot Sharp Tune: We're going our separate ways I don't wanna deal with you You don't' wanna deal with me So that's how it's gonna be Goodbye, Mother Goodbye, Father Goodbye, life Goodbye, brother Hello, Twilight I will help you see the light Again Yes, again 'Cause today I'm breaking free I'm getting away from What she made me be Queen Treble Measure (spoken): You're not going anywhere, you goddamn piece of shit!

Queen Treble Measure: Listen to your mother You little naive bitch You are nothing And will never be Your brother reflects More of me than you I disapprove of what you're gonna do So, if you must So be it Be a little shit And go! Sharp Tune: Let my life be it So be it I can't stand you anymore Restricting me within these walls I'm not you When will you drill it in your head? "When will you be somepony else instead?" I am not afraid of you And whatever you can do I will venture out And make things right I will stand up And conquer their fright Twilight, here I come Auntie Celestia and Luna All of you who have succumbed I am not a murderer Nor will I ever be You must understand this Or else Equestria May be done with me If this is the way things are Then, Mother Thank your goddamn lucky star That I've stuck around That I've stood my ground And now it's time to go Leave what I have always known Away from you To safety From what you'll do next For we must go our separate ways (Queen Treble Measure: You get back here now, young lady!) I don't have to listen to you anymore The next step is all that I will take For the sake of everypony We must go our separate ways There's only one of us Whose evil stays Queen Treble Measure: You naughty, naughty girl Your brother's better than you It comes down to this And this is how it's gonna be Leave me And Equestria will be done with you! Sharp Tune (spoken): I don't care for your empty threats! You'll never kill me! (sung): I'm not afraid of you I will escape And do what's right Queen Treble Measure: You will be the queen someday What you're doing Will only bring dismay Both: I'm grown up and I'm stronger than you One day you will see The light that shines through 'Cause I'm not gonna tell you twice Someday you'll have to pay the price Queen or not I hope you haven't forgot It's time we go our separate ways (Sharp Tune: Because I'm not you And I'll never be I will rise above you Rise to my potential And show you the real me!)

Flat Major lays awake, hearing the beautiful voice of his sister echoing in his mind. "Mom, I hear something," Flat Major says. "Go to sleep, dear. I'm sure it's nothing," Queen Treble Measure says, "And besides if it was, what is to you?" "I heard my sister's voice. Mom, this is amazing! Sharp Tune is somewhere out there! We've gotta find her!" Flat Major says. "GO TO BED, FLAT MAJOR! ENOUGH OF THIS MOTHERBUCKING RUBBISH, UNDERSTAND!?" Queen Treble Measure says. Flat Major hangs his head and trots away. He goes back to his room, still lying in his bed, wide awake. Then, Flat Major got an idea. "I'll write a song for her," he says, grabbing his guitar and songbook. Find Your Way Home Lyrics Flat Major: Disappeared without a trace Every day I still see her face Never coming back Is that good or bad? Do I deserve to be sad? Do I deserve to lie awake In my bed? Do I deserve to not be able to sleep? What does this have to do with me? Someday I bet She'll find her way home But not yet I miss her already Even though life was unsteady Before she left It's hard to not think It's hard to not feel It's hard to not believe the worst Is yet to come Goodbye, I've succumbed Someday I bet She'll remember us Someday I bet She'll come back to us Someday I bet She'll find her way home But not yet Flat Major sighs as he cries himself to sleep.
Chapter 9Princess Sharp Tune is running as fast as her hooves can carry her to Ponyville. When she arrives, she is devastated to see the damage that Queen Treble Measure, her mother, had done. "No, no! I-it can't be! It's not just Princess Twilight! Everything is lost!" Princess Sharp Tune says, crying. "There, there, Princess. Come with me. It'll all be OK," says Queen Chrysalis. "Why are you helping me?" Princess Sharp Tune says, "You're evil! You're possibly working for my mother!" "Come, child. I have seen many times like these and never wished to change," Queen Chrysalis says, "The ponies that your mother hates will be destroyed right before your very eyes!" Queen Chrysalis snatches Princess Sharp Tune and throws her into a cell. "Now, what will you do?" she asks. "Get me outta here!" Sharp Tune cries, "There are ponies who need my help! Please!" "You? Help them? Well, first you've gotta help yourself, dearie," Queen Chrysalis says. Princess Sharp Tune uses her magic to set herself free. "I don't have to listen to you either! I'm my own filly and I like that! I'm tired of dealing with useless cunts trying to interfere with my goddamn life! I'm not a motherbucking baby anymore, so leave me be! I'll find them myself if I bucking have to, you shitheaded bitch!" "What a pottymouth for just a filly. Well, fine!" Queen Chrysalis says. Going Our Separate Ways (Reprise) Sharp Tune: Goodbye, I'll catch you later If only Equestria could forget her I wouldn't be so misunderstood Love me or hate me It's not gonna change Who I'm meant to be I'm me I'll find a way To bring you back To turn things around And get Equestria back on track To do that I must find you I must warn you all I can I will do what I have to Anything but killing So, I will go out of my way Just to hear you say "You saved me" And I'd say "You're welcome" If I had the courage But first I must go my separate ways Do what I came here to do And leave behind those days The past is the past I must move forward Though it will be hard I'm not saying it'll be easy I must go my separate ways Conquer everything that's happened Through all these uncertain days Auntie Celestia Auntie Luna Princess Twilight If you can hear me Please tell me I will go my separate ways And return Equestria To how it's meant to be Although it may be hard I didn't say it was easy But when I find you Will I find you? I have doubts too * * * "What's that beautiful voice?" Spike asks. "Yes! I'm getting closer! I can feel it!" Flat Major exclaims. Find Your Way Home (Reprise) Lyrics I'll find her I'll bring her home No more places to roam I've found her voice She can't be far You're my shining star Something tells me That she's here somewhere That she's getting help here My sister of mine I'm getting closer I can feel it No need to conceal it anymore Life has just opened its door! The ponies wondering what's going on Makes me know she's here I know that voice anywhere My sister I'm certain I'll find her And bring her home I'll bring her home If it's the last thing I do! "Flat Major?" Sharp Tune asks, "What are you doing here?" "Hey, sis. I missed you and wanted to bring you home, so I followed you to the ends of Equestria," Flat Major says, "I can't believe you're in Ponyville!" "Well, I'm just fine. I can take care of myself. Besides, I have business to tend to here, so get lost," Sharp Tune says. "I-I just wanted to find you. I've been searching everywhere. Dad's worried sick!" Flat Major cries. Sharp Tune stops. "Shit! I've gotta get home now!" she cries, "But right after I do something important. I must go to the Tree of Harmony and fix this!" "We don't even know what the Tree of Harmony can do to reverse this!" cries Flat Major. "Well, we've gotta try, shithead. Are you coming along or not?" she says in reply. He sighs. "If you say so, sis. I don't know what for certain it's gonna work." As the two are trotting to the Cave of Harmony, Princess Sharp Tune says, "Think positive, Flat Major! We'll find a way to reverse everything and get everypony back. Trust me! And if you ever lose hope, put your special talent to use." Flat Major rolls his eyes. "It's not all I'm good for. Cut it out, Sharp!" "I'm just saying! Sheesh!" Sharp Tune replies. * * * Ten hours later, Princess Sharp Tune and Prince Flat Major reach the Everfree Forest. "How much longer to the Tree of Harmony?" Flat Major says. She looks at the map. "The map says just a few miles. We'll be there in no time. How about we do something to pass the time?" Sharp Tune says. "But you said all hope was lost! What can we do to pass the time if everything we can think about is...." Flat Major says. "Shh... It's beautiful," Sharp Tune says, putting her hoof to her brother's muzzle as soon as they arrive. They both admire the Tree of Harmony for a while until they remember just exactly what they were doing there. The siblings have a journey and couldn't be distracted. "I can't believe it! We made it!" Sharp Tune cries, "This is amazing!" Gasping, she canters over to the side of the tree. "Holy shit!" Flat Major runs to be beside her. "What did you find, sis?" "It's some kind of scroll. Maybe this'll tell us how to help Twilight and the other princesses!" Sharp Tune exclaims. But as soon as she picks it up with her magic and about to read it, Queen Treble Measure stands in front of the Tree of Harmony, blocking them from getting to it. "Mom?" Sharp and Flat cry, "What are you doing here?" "First you defy me and then you run away! Sneaking out and going on a journey to undo what I've done! Well, I won't let you through!" Queen Treble Measure says. "I don't give a damn who the buck you are and why you're trying to stop us, but we're not like you!" Sharp Tune says. She uses her magic to pick up her mother and swing her around violently. She then set her down and throws her down a hole in the cave grounds. Motivation Song Lyrics Sharp Tune: This is our life Flat Major: This is our chance Both: To break the chains And go our separate ways Sharp Tune: This is our chance To change the course of fate To set things straight Flat Major: Equestria as we know it Sharp Tune: Will be back to normal Book, tell me what to do (she opens the book) Flat Major (Sharp Tune): Go to the Tree of Harmony (Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah Go and believe that it'll work!) The Tree of life and friendship (Ah ah ah ah Life and friendship Life and friendship! Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah!) Sing it loud for everypony to hear (Loud and clear please Feel the breeze as it goes through me Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah!) Both: This will work If we believe it will Friendship is powerful Sharp Tune: No more chances worth taking Watch how destiny unfolds Watch how it all unfolds Ah ah, watch how it all Watch how it all! Both: Get ready Get steady For things to change for the better Right before our eyes All to our surprise Waiting waiting patiently For the tree to do its magic Do its magic Do its magic Do its magic Let our hearts combine With the Elements all Promise to make Equestria never fall No more chances worth taking No more chances worth taking No more chances No more! As we watch how destiny unfolds Watch how destiny unfolds Watch how it all unfolds Have hope And watch how it all (The magic crashes all over The Cave of Harmony.) Ah ah ah ah! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It worked!
Chapter 10Sharp Tune and Flat Major watch as the magic surges out all around them. Then, the magic goes back into The Tree of Harmony. "Did it work or are we just getting too ahead of ourselves?" Sharp Tune asks. Tears stream down her bluish-green face down onto the floor of the Cave of Harmony. "I can't believe it. We were so close just to fail hard." "Don't get so down on yourself, yet, sis," Flat Major says, putting a reassuring hoof on Sharp Tune, "These things just take time. I believe in the power of friendship and family. I believe in us. Remember what Dad always says?" Live in the Moment Lyrics Flat Major: Pick your head up Hope is not lost We wait a little longer Until the magic is stronger And then we see And witness the magnificent work Of you and me Sharp Tune: Come closer, my dears No need to cry All you need to know Is that you gave it your best shot You just had to try Pick your head up There's a beautiful future Waiting out there for you What will you do? Both: You can't just stay in the past Because the past doesn't last You must pick up your head And move on instead Live in the moment This is the just one component Of life Sharp Tune: Life has hardships You've just gotta learn To get through them When faced with a difficult situation You have to push through Persevere Be true to you Flat Major: Because you tried Sharp Tune: That's all that matters Flat Major: Because you cried Sharp Tune: Everything in front of you shatters Into a million pieces Because whatever the cost You did your best But that doesn't mean All hope is lost Just remember one thing And this thing only Love is everywhere The Magic of Friendship lives in you And spirals out here and there I love you so I hope you know So when everything shatters Don't give up hope Just live in the moment And be patient Both: 'Cause good things Come to those who wait Each and every Element of Harmony glows on the Tree of Harmony as the magic of friendship surges all the way through the tree. With each Element of the Harmony, one pony is saved. It is a only a matter of time until the Mane Six will be back. It went from Magic to Kindness, then to Laughter and Generosity. Princess Sharp Tune and Prince Flat Major could see silhouettes of Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, just willing to be resurrected. Ten seconds later, the magic seeps through the Honesty and Loyalty shards. "It's working! I knew being patient would steer us in the right direction!" Sharp Tune exclaims. A few seconds after the Honesty and Loyalty shards are no longer inactive, silhouettes of Rainbow Dash and Applejack appear. At the time of their appearance, Sharp Tune and Flat Major could spot the silhouette of Twilight slowly reforming into a resurrected pony. Following her came Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity. "Ooh! We're so close!" Sharp Tune exclaims, "Isn't this just grand, Flat Major?" "I knew we could do it, sis!" He starts to ponder. "What's going on, Flat?" Sharp Tune asks, "Aren't you happy?" "Yeah. Just thinking," Flat Major replies. "Ponder later, buckwad," Sharp Tune says, "Unless it's that damned important that it can't wait. Tell me what you're thinking of." Flat Major sighs. "You've got me, sis. I was wondering who would be Queen of Equestria without Mom." "Equestria doesn't need us yet, jackass. Come on, don't be a dumbass. There's still Dad," says Sharp Tune, "Besides, if he's still around, ponies don't need another leader. They've got their king." Flat Major smiles and lets out a hearty laugh. "You're starting to remind me of Mom, sis. But you aren't her and you never will be." "Damn straight," Sharp Tune says. They both share laughter until they realise all of the Mane Six standing before them. "I don't know how I can ever repay you two!" Twilight cries. "It's fine, Princess. You don't need to do anything. We're indebted to you," Sharp Tune says with a warm grin. "Whoa! Are you the Royal Twins?" Pinkie chirps, "Being raised by the Queen of Equestria must've been difficult!" "Yes. And who might you be?" Flat Major replies. "We shouldn't be talking to you...," Twilight says, backing away, "We don't know who you are and what you'll do." "We just saved your asses and this is how you treat us?" Sharp Tune says, hurt by the comment, "Maybe we shouldn't have gone through all this to bring you back after our mother killed you out of revenge!" She spreads her wings and storms off. Flat Major holds out his hoof. "Sis, please! I know you're upset, but please understand where they're coming from!" "Go away, Flat Major. You've done enough. As Queen in Training, I decree you go back home!" Sharp Tune declares. "You can't do this! Think about all that we've been through! Our long journey to save Princess Twilight and her friends from Mom's rampage!" "I've tried my whole life to prove to everypony that we are our own ponies, but nopony listens to us. What's the point anymore?" Sharp Tune says, huddling her hooves together and crying with her face in hooves, "I'm a nopony. Just accept it. I've been waiting for this day to come and now it has." "Sharp Tune! Sharp Tune, what are you saying? Please!" Flat Major cries. She begins to sob even more as she tries to explode herself with her magic. "Goodbye." "No! NO!" he cries, reaching out his hoof. When he heard it, he struggles to get up and move along, breaking down and crying. "All hope really is gone," Flat Major says. Author's Note This isn't the end. I want a happy ending, so you just wait and see for the final chapters!
Chapter 11Twilight hangs her head, thinking about what she has just said to Sharp Tune. It was very unlike me to just say something like that...., she thinks, Now everything is the absolute worst.... Because of me. Twilight flies away from her friends and hides behind a nearby rock, crying. Reflection Lyrics Twilight Sparkle: What have I done? The Princess of Friendship But how can I now Live up to my name? I look around and see My reflection staring back at me Tormenting me Who am I even meant to be? These wings are worthless If only I wasn't so thoughtless I wouldn't be here reflecting Seeing what I have just done All of my friends gone What am I living for? What am I supposed to do? My reflection She haunts me I can't seem to get her Out of my mind Everywhere I turn I keep saying things That just go in the wrong direction When will I learn? When will I own up And apologise? Maybe I should have Just thrown away the crown Then my actions wouldn't have gone to waste Wouldn't get me so down I am no Princess of Friendship If I can't say the right thing I see her in the water I see her in the air I see her all around me Oh, I see her everywhere! Well, sometime I've gotta own up Face it like the grownup Which I am But how will I even try If all I can do is cry? Oh, I see my reflection And she's making fun of me She's telling me that My coronation wasn't meant to be I should've stayed a naive little unicorn Imagine life with only your horn Princess of Friendship Princess of Friendship She calls me Now she sees all that I am And can be She believes in me! I look around and see My reflection staring back at me Telling me to go and say I'm sorry That I shouldn't mope around Think about the present The here and the now If you're stuck in visualising ways To change the past You know your life won't last Very long I'm living in the moment Owning up to my mistake This is the step that I must take You are still the Princess of Friendship Even though sometimes you don't realise That you've treated others like shit When you don't even When you don't even Know what you did Before you did it Here I go Here I go! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Yeah, I've gotta own up I need to pick myself up And be strong 'Cause when you're thinking About the past You won't last very long
Chapter 12Twilight Sparkle makes her way back, her friends all worried about what had just happened. She shakes her head and then picks it up again. Flat Major turns around to see Twilight. "Oh my gosh, Twilight! I'm glad you're here! It's my sister!" he cries, "Come quick!" Twilight Sparkle runs over to Flat Major and falls pale. "Wh-what happened here, Flat Major?" Twilight Sparkle says. Flat Major bows his head to his sister's, Sharp Tune's body and cries. As Twilight notices the death of Sharp Tune, she is devastated. "What have I done? I-I can't forgive myself for this.... How did she die?" "She committed suicide because of what you said. I tried to stop her before she exploded herself with her magic, but it was no use," Flat Major replies, "What you said was an accident, right, Princess?" "No, I-I don't deserve the title.... I-I had no idea this would happen because of something that just slipped out...." Twilight Sparkle says. "Princess, it's not your fault," Flat Major says. "Actually it is. I came here to apologise, but now I have nopony to apologise to!" Twilight snaps. "Twilight, really. Stop thinking negative thoughts. It's not your fault. You didn't mean to say it, and I can't control what happens in the life of others!" Flat Major shouts, getting impatient. Twilight Sparkle hangs her head in silence as she thinks everything over. "I'm sorry," she whispers sadly as tears stream down her face. The rest of the Mane Six trot over and put reassuring hooves on Twilight. "Flat Major is right," her friends say, "Sometimes things happen that you can't control." Reflection (Reprise) Twilight Sparkle: It was an accident Did you hear me Loud and clear? But no You don't care You don't want to know You say I'm trapped You say I must quit holding on That all hope is gone Now I see you everywhere I go What will it take for you to know That I give into you Because I have no idea what I'm gonna do I didn't mean to say it It just slipped out But I deserve it I don't mind if you don't quit Haunting me My reflection stares back at me Too late to say sorry She's dead She's gone There's nothing else that I can do To help myself and you If only my reflection Could send a sign A helpful connection Just anything that you can do To bring her back just fine My reflection works against me again I can't stop it, my friend When, just when Will I look at myself and see the light? Shining so bright Making things right When you've tried everything And you don't know What to do When you've got your reflection Staring back at you You're looking for an answer But sadly, none ever come When you are constantly dealing with your reflection Without anything to live for But you must because you've found a way before It's just my reflection Staring right back at me Wishing that this will help you Come back to me If you could hear me cry You'd realise that I'm here to help And say I'm sorry Crying, Twilight's tears flow into Sharp Tune's lifeless body.
Chapter 1In present day Canterlot, there is a new King and Queen of Equestria. Both ponies were given the gift of art. Queen Treble Measure possesses the gift of painting with oil pastels, but her husband, King Piano Muse is true to his name. He loves music and can play its wondrous tunes on end without stopping. And you know wouldn't believe how beautiful it is. Everyday in Canterlot, ponies ask him to play for their filly's birthday parties and even to sleep. But one day, he just had enough. Sure, King Piano Muse still loved the relaxing beauties of the pianic sound, but he was tired of all this constant attention that made him lie awake every night. That night, Queen Treble Measure is very concerned for the fate of the her beloved husband. She wants to ask him what is wrong, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She sighs and turns over with her head on his body. The warmth reminds her of their love for each other, making her forget about everything until three hours later. The fear made Queen Treble awake and look around the Royal bedchambers. It is 1:00 A. M. She looks outside and sees the dark sky. It doesn't help though. She sighs and crawls back into bed, but can't sleep one bit. The image haunts her in her mind. Trying to forget it, she tumbles around until something happened that she didn't realise. Unaware of what is going on in her current emotional state, she reaches out to King Piano Muse. "If I can't get over this depression easily, then I will have to act," she whispers to herself, "I'll have to love him before it's time to wake up." Author's Note Chapter 1 complete!
Chapter 13In minutes, Sharp Tune sits up and looks around. "Twilight? I-I thought....," she says. Twilight Sparkle sighs. "I shouldn't have judged a book by its cover. Just because your mother was a terrible pony doesn't mean that you are the same. I'm sorry." Flat Major smiles and gestures to Twilight after hugging Sharp Tune. "For what you said then, how am I supposed to know that it was an accident? It still felt like a knife piercing knife through me, but I'll let it slide," Sharp Tune says, "You fixed everything by bringing me back to life, so it's the best I can do. In other words, it's OK." All Together Lyrics Sharp Tune: Sometimes we make mistakes Some worse than others But nothing cannot be forgiven The Magic of Friendship is all it takes Twilight Sparkle: Just remember this rule And you'll live a respectable life When you are true to you Flat Major: Mistakes happen We aren't perfect Though some things May be hard to forgive It's nothing worth Not desiring to live All: All together With our flawless imperfections We know that we screw up And no matter how bad We'll always be glad Sharp Tune: No matter how bad I've got friends by my side They're here for me They've always got my back So I've got nothing to hide All: All together With our flawless imperfections We know that we screw up And no matter how bad We'll always be glad Sharp Tune: Sticks and stones May break my bones But I'm strong now I know that words'll never me How? Because I'm true to who I am meant to be All: A circle of friends Sharp Tune: With siblings Everypony you can count on Who understands! Twilight Sparkle: Sometimes we all slip up But that's OK Friendship isn't easy Otherwise life skills Would be breezy Flat Major: Nopony understands Quite like your friends And family Sharp Tune: So open your heart Spill whatever's inside You've nothing to hide If I don't We can all trust each other Friends and your brother Everypony is the same In different ways But I won't stand for being the same We all have a, different name We may all make the same mistakes Truck through life whatever it takes Friendship means that we're a team Teams stick together no matter what And there's no I in team All: And there's no I in team And there's no I There's no I There's no I! Sharp Tune and Flat Major: In team! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Author's Note Well everypony, you've made it to the end.
