The Princess of Song

The 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?
Must we always fail to see the light?
Listen to your heart
And it will happen
The thing you believe is right

Ah
Ah
Oh

Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah

So you wanna get out of this madness?
All this pathetic sadness?
You wanna live, am I right?
Please say I'm right
'Cause oh my gosh, I'm right

Right as normal can be
Right as trustworthy can be seen
If you trust me
You'll follow my lead

Ah
Ah
Ah
Oh

So you wanna get out of this madness?
All this pathetic sadness?
You wanna live, am I right?
Please say I'm right
'Cause oh my gosh, I'm right

Right as normal can be
Right as trustworthy can be seen

You and me
The perfect team
In our fantastical
Realistical dream
Can come true

Just me and you

Ah
Ah
Oh oh yeah
Just me and oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah oh

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

So you wanna get out of this madness?
All this pathetic sadness?
You wanna live, am I right?
Please say I'm right
'Cause oh my gosh, I'm right

Right as normal can be
Right as trustworthy can be seen

Right as normal can be
Right as trustworthy can be seen

You can get what you want
You can play
All you've ever wanted to
Without anypony forcing you to

Yes, this is your solution
Your easiest and final resolution

If you wish to rid yourself
Of this madness
This eternal pain sadness

We must follow
Your one and only solution

Here we go
Oh
Oh

Here we go
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ah

Listen to your heart
Unleash your inner art
And play your heart out

Just for yourself
And nopony else

Just for yourself
And nopony else

Believe in yourself
Take a deep breath

Sit and front of your piano
And believe that you will
And can play
Just for yourself

Listen to your heart
Unleash your inner art
And play your heart out

(song ends)

King Piano Muse takes her word for it and sits in front of the piano. 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.
