Sunny Flare

“Well that was interesting,” I mused as Rainbow approached the microphone. “Lemon, what’s the next song?”

“Courtesy call,” Lemon said instantly as Sunset and Rainbow started playing their guitars. “And then it’s just the Illusions. Some members of the Rainbooms take part in their songs. Apparently they work together on songs now even though they had hella beef at one point.”

“That’s weird,” Sugarcoat mumbled and I had to strain to hear her over the loud guitars and drums.

“Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club,” Rainbow started singing and nodded to the rest of the Illusions minus Sunset waiting in the wings. “When we get started, man we ain’t gon stop. We gon turn it out til it gets too hot. Everybody sing, hey-o tell em turn it up til they can’t no more. Let’s get this thing shakin like a disco ball. This is your last warning, a courtesy call.”

“I am not afraid of the storm that comes my way. When it hits it shakes me to the core and makes me stronger than before. It’s not a question about trust, but will you stand with us? Can you feel it? Make it real and I think it might wash away tonight. Awaken from this never ending fight. It takes more than meets the eye. This war we’re fighting it’s not just rotting,” Sunset sang as she exchanged a look with Rainbow.

“Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club,” The two started singing in unison. “When we get started, man we ain’t gon stop. We gon turn it out til it gets too hot. Everybody sing, hey-o tell em turn it up til they can’t no more. Let’s get this thing shakin like a disco ball. This is your last warning, a courtesy call.”

“There’s a rumble in the floor, so get prepared for war. When it hits it’ll knock you to the ground, when it shakes up everything around. But survival is a must so will you stand with us? Can you feel it?
Make it real and make me feel it,” Pinkie sang as she played her respective instrument.

I didn’t really think a crazy party obsessed girl could sing this well nor play any instrument. I suppose the drums did suit her well. A way to get all her excess energy out, I’d be willing to bet.

“I think it might wash away tonight. Awaken from this never ending fight. It takes more than meets the eye. This war we’re fighting it’s not just rotting,” Rarity sang from her spot next to Applejack. She had a weird looking instrument, reminded me of a piano.

“Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club,” Sunset and Rainbow started singing again. “When we get started, man we ain’t gon stop. We gon turn it out til it gets too hot. Everybody sing, hey-o tell em turn it up til they can’t no more. Let’s get this thing shakin like a disco ball. This is your last warning, a courtesy call.”

“Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club,” Pinkie and Rainbow sang. “When we get started, man we ain’t gon stop. We gon turn it out til it gets too hot. Everybody sing, hey-o tell em turn it up til they can’t no more. Let’s get this thing shakin like a disco ball. This is your last warning, a courtesy call.”

Lemon startled me a bit by cheering as Sunset finished playing her guitar along with Rainbow and the others.

“So the Rainbooms are done?” Indigo asked curiously as I gave her a curious look.

“Maybe?” Sour shrugged. She had surprisingly been the most vocal along with Lemon of her having fun. It was about ten or so. Sunset stepped forward and took a deep breath.

“If I wasn’t good enough to finally succeed, then I couldn’t love the reasons that I still bleed. It’s getting harder to walk, I guess I’ll just have to run. Headed straight off a cliff, I’m not like everyone,” Sunset started singing and I got the feeling this was a harder rock song based on how their guitars sounded. Rainbow stood next to Sunset and grinned faintly. “I’m a survivor, come ride with me. Been through hell and back, don’t need your sympathy. Everything I wanted is right in front of me, yeah I’m a survivor, come ride with me.”

“Come ride with me, yeah come ride with me,” Lyra added faintly.

“Keep my head up, sinkin’, lost in all of these waves. These odds keep me goin’, the tide has finally changed. When it gets harder to breathe, I guess I’ll just have to scream. Get up back on my feet, I want the world to see me!” Sunset shouted into her microphone and I recoiled a bit. I wasn’t expecting her to be that loud. “I’m a survivor, come ride with me. Been through hell and back, don’t need your sympathy. Everything I wanted is right in front of me, yeah. I’m a survivor, come ride with me.”

“Come ride with me, yeah come ride with me,” Sonata chimed in.”Come ride with me, yeah come ride with me.”

“Bring me back up or take me down low. Make it go fast or move in slow-mo. ‘Bout that shine, all the hard times. Free up the mind, I can open my eyes,” Lightning sang as she nodded at Sunset. “I’m a survivor. I’m a survivor.”

“I’m a survivor, come ride with me. Been through hell and back, don’t need your sympathy. Everything I wanted is right in front of me, yeah. I’m a survivor, come ride with me,” Sunset sang. “Come ride with me, yeah. Come ride with me, come ride with me, yeah. Come ride with me.”

I surprised myself in joining Lemon and Sour cheering along with the others in the room. Lemon shot me a smug grin. I had a bad feeling about where she was going with this.

“Told you that you’d have fun.” I turned faintly red as the others gave me smug grins.

“Shush Lemon.”

Author's Note

All rights belong to their owners. I figured Survivor by Pop Evil was a great song for Sunset. I'll be leaving each song played in the description. Idk if anyone will listen to them but each song is played exactly how they sound. If anything gets this story taken down, it'll be these next few chapters.
