The Princess of Song
Chapter 10
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSharp 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.
