The Princess of Song

Twelve 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.
