Author's Note

Ok. Before people freak. I will be getting to the story but I thought I should have something to set things straight. I plan on getting to the good stuff after a few chapters in. But I feel it would be better if we take things slow. Or at least try too.

Yes, this story is connected to my first one.

Yes, I will likely be using the rabbit again. I might be bending or breaking the rules. But... sorry. Pinkie just gave me the look. No spoilers.

Yes, there will be shipping. I will try and explain in story if and when needed.

No, there won't be interspecies relations... maybe.

Yes, there will be more than the main 6. I just didn't want the list to get to long.

Oh and there will be moments that will have in world music. You'll just have to look the song up.

One more thing. I know it might sound like cheating. But the title of the chapters will be a hint to what song goes with it.

Oh and before I forget. I don't own the songs. I might make one. But that'll be later. I may add some lines from the song. But I will do my best to spread those times out.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it.

Also
... ya. I can already see this one running away from me. But what can I say?
"Friendly cayos" is right up Discord's alley.
And it just sounds right for the sisters to want a bit of fun.
You probably already guessed who everyone is. So I won't say anything. But that platypus thing... ya. Maybe I can do better. But it sounded right.

When I'm lonesome

Within what would best describe as anti space, sat a small house drifting on an equally small plot of land. Within it, the place had furniture, odds and ends, and whatever one wouldn't expect in a house in random places.

This was this home of a well known draconequus. His name was... "Discord! Discord!" Raising the draconequus's mirror. For some reason sounding like a record player that skipped on the "o" a few times.

Looking over at it Discord snapped his claw. This caused a line to appear on it that wobbled to the tone and pitch of sound that came from the mirror. "You'll have to forgive me." Discord stated. "But I just got out of the shower. And I'm not..."

He was cut off by the voice. "It's fine. You wouldn't be the first naked creature I've seen. And far from the strangest."

"Now I feel insulted. What would be...?"

"A platypus with wings, and a lizard tale." The voice answered bluntly.

After a moment of thought Discord replied. "Toshay. So... to what do I owe this call? And lovely imagery?"

"Let's just say. A friend looking to spread some friendly..." the voice paused for a moment before finishing. "Cayos."

Discord didn't have to see who was speaking. He can tell that it promised to be a fun idea. A smile came across his face. "I'm listening." He said, with an evil grin coming across his face.

An unknowable time later Discord sat back floating in air. "That sounds perfect. Oh I can't wait to see the eyes of my friends." He said. His smile never leaves his face.

Meanwhile in the land of Equestria seven friends simultaneously let out a sneeze along with two alicorns. "Sister. You don't think so?" The younger of the two asked.

"I do." The elder replied. "And something tells me he is not alone in planning what's to come."

"What must we do?" The younger asked in concern.

"Nothing."

"Nothing? But he..."

"Has come a long way. Let us see what good his plan will bring."

"And if it doesn't bring good? Then shall we step in?"

A sigh escaped the elder's lips. She understood her sister's worries. "Fear not. You know as well as I that there are those that can stop him far better than us."

A moment passed. "Indeed... I must admit. I am intrigued to see where this goes. But..."

Knowing where her sister's mind was going. The elder asked. "Shall we make it interesting?"

"Do you mean... get involved or a wager?"

The elder smiled.

Meanwhile, far from equestria. A small sneeze is heard.

"You ok there kid?" Asked a security guard. "I can call in if..."

The 'kid' in question shook his head. "I'm fine. You know what they say. If you sneeze. It means someone is talking about you."

The guard laughed. "I'm shocked you're not sneezing more often than. My kid doesn't shut up about you." The two shared a laugh before the guard lets out a sigh. "Well. It's almost time."

"Ya." The kid sighed putting on a mask that covered the top half of his face. Taking a deep breath he smiled. "Thanks for keeping me company." He said, walking over to a curtain as music started to play.

Stepping through he began to sing as he scanned the stage. He knew the band playing won't be anyone he knew. But he still felt his heart drop a little regardless.

Next he scanned the crowd. Again. Strangers. "It's fine." He told himself. "I'll just do what I always do." As the song hit the first high more emotional part. He showed his feelings in his act.

The crowd was enthralled. They knew what they were getting with the concert. And they were not disappointed. Even if they never knew where it came from. They felt everything he sang.

"Don't stop. Don't break." The kid told himself. "This is for them as much as yourself." More and more he sang. Soon he'd have to come up with something uplifting to say. "More." He had to... for them.

Time passed and the final song ended. After his practiced "Good bye." He turned and walked off stage. Never once loosing his smile. "Tomorrow is another day." He breathed. "A shower and nap. Then it's back to work."

"There you are." A voice called out. Turning, the kid saw his manager. "Great work out there. Now. After something to eat and a shower. We can get on the road to your next show."

The kid knew he meant well. But sometimes. "You think we can rest in a hotel first? Those busses give me a cramp."

"Oh my goodness." The manager gasped. "I didn't know."

"Bull shit." The kid thought, holding his smile.

"I'll get you a room right away." The manager partially cried before spinning away on a heel. Walking away he pulled out his phone. "Hello? I need a room, stat."

With an amused sigh the kid shook his head. "He'll never change."

Little did he know. That night. His life would change.
