Noteworthy lay in his bed asleep, tossing and turning at his current dream.

"YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!?............ YOU CALL THAT A-.......... GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!!!!"

Noteworthy sprung upwards, his eyes wide open and face covered in sweat as he ghasped for air.

"Thank Luna, it was just a dream...."

Noteworthy got out of bed an looked out of his bedroom window. It was still night time.

"Sigh....... I have to get some sleep."

Noteworthy got back into his bed and looked at the ceiling.

"You don't need it, music is your skill....." Thought Noteworthy.

Noteworthy slowly closed his eyes and drifted back into sleep.


Five hours later

Rarity poured herself a cup of coffee as Sweetie belle sat at the table, finishing her bowl of cereal.

"Dont stay out with your friends too long." Said Rarity. "I have a fun little activity for us to do together later."

"Alright sis." Said Sweetie belle.

The young unicorn got out of her chair and walked towards the door.

"Two hours." Said Rarity.

"Got it!"

Sweetie belle left the house. Rarity smiled to herself.

"Fillies these days."

Rarity took a sip of her coffee.

"I shouldn't keep Noteworthy waiting too long."

"Meow."

Rarity looked down and saw her beloved cat, opalescent standing by her hooves.

"Alright opal, lets get you some breakfast." Said Rarity.

Rarity took another sip of coffee as Opal purred in delight.


After Rarity had finished her coffee and fed Opal, she slipped on her saddlebag and headed to Noteworthy's house.

Rarity approached Noteworthy's house and knocked on the door.

"One sec!" Called Noteworthy.

Noteworthy opened the door and let Rarity inside.

"Morning Rarity."

"Morning."

Noteworthy led Rarity towards a nearby closet.

"I got some extra paper in here." Said Noteworthy. "We just have to move some things."

Noteworthy opened the closet, revealing several boxes inside.

"Do you need any help moving them?" Asked Rarity.

"Sure." Replied Noteworthy. "Its the one labeled paper.

Rarity and Noteworthy began taking boxes out and setting them aside.

"Could have sworn it was in that spot....." Muttered Noteworthy. "Maybe I moved it back a bit......."

Rarity removed a medium sized blue box.

"This one looks different from the others." Thought Rarity.

She set it down and looked at it.

"Think I see it." Muttered Noteworthy.

Rarity slowly opened the blue box, her eyes widened upon seeing its contents.

"Whats this?"

Inside the box was a set of royal guard armor that was small enough for a foal to wear. Rarity picked up the armor's helmet from the box using magic.

"Who does Noteworthy have this?"

Noteworthy grabbed the paper box and turned to face Rarity.

"I found-"

Noteworthy noticed the helmet and set the box down.

"Rarity?"

Rarity noticed that Noteworthy was looking at her and she dropped the helmet in surprise.

"Oh im sorry I didn't mean to snoop around."

Noteworthy walked up to Rarity.

"Its alright, its just memories."

Noteworthy picked up the helmet.

"Old memories."

Rarity raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you have a small set of armor?" Asked Rarity.

"It was a costume." Replied Noteworthy. "Believe it or not I wanted to be in the royal guard when I was younger."

Rarity looked at noteworthy in surprise.

"You in the guard? I never would have thought."

"Yeah....." Said Noteworthy. "My grandpa was a guard, my uncle was a guard, my father took basic training but he never fully joined."

"So what stopped you from joining?" Asked Rarity.

Noteworthy sighed.

"I wasn't strong enough, and I was a wimp."

Rarity put a hoof on Noteworthy's shoulder.

"Im sorry to hear that." Said Rarity.

"Its all in the past." Said Noteworthy. "But sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if they accepted me."

Rarity opened the paper box with magic and began putting sheets into her saddlebag.

"Thanks for the paper." Said Rarity.

"Thanks for the conversation." Said Noteworthy.

Rarity left with her paper as Noteworthy looked at the helmet.

"Felt good talking to somepony about that." Thought Noteworthy. "But I do have to wonder what Rarity needed that paper for."

Noteworthy began putting the boxies back into the closet.


Rarity sat at Lyra's desk with a sheet of paper in front of her. Lyra and Bonbon stood next to her.

"Now we just have to handle the details." Said Lyra.

"Time, Place, That sort of thing?" Asked Rarity.

"And what you want the posters to say." Added BonBon.

"Let me think about that." Said Rarity.

She put her hoof to her chin.

"I'm getting a few ideas."


Noteworthy was sitting in the Ponyville park with his friend, Comet tail.

"Celestia im glad I finished that commission." Said Noteworthy. "Ive been cooped up in the house for days."

"So whats your next big song going to be?" Asked Comet tail.

"Well the commission paid pretty good, so I decided to take the rest of this week, plus next week off to relax." Replied Noteworthy.

"Thats not a bad Idea." Said Comet tail.

Noteworthy got up.

"Im gunna treat myself to a massage at the spa." Said Noteworthy. "See ya tonight?

"Maybe." Replied Comet tail. "Might do some extra stargazing tonight."

"Well catch ya later then." Said Noteworthy.

Noteworthy trotted away.


"So that's it." Said Rarity.

She had finished designing the flyer.

"Yep." Replied Lyra. "We can start making copies and give them to one of our pegasus friends to spread throughout Ponyville."

Bonbon takes the flyer and looks it over.

"Your doing it tomorrow?" Asked Lyra.

"Yes." Replied Rarity. "I have an order of vests to work on, and I need to help Applejack with her annual harvest in about two days."

Rarity shuddered at the thought of the harvest.

"Dirt everywhere." Thought Rarity.

"We'll meet you at the boutique to help set up." said Lyra.

Rarity got up.

"I must get going, I have something to do." Said Rarity.

"Alright." Began Lyra. "See you around."

Rarity trotted out the front door.


Noteworthy stepped inside his house.

"I should Probably feed Melody now." Thought Noteworthy.

Noteworthy walked upstairs and slowly opened the door to his room. As he stepped inside, his eyes widened.

Lying on his bed was Rarity, smiling at him.

"Rarity?"

"There you are darling." Said Rarity.

Rarity stepped off the bed and walked up to Noteworthy.

"W-Why are you in my ro-"

Noteworthy was cut off when Rarity got uncomfortably close to him.

"Ssshhhh."

Rarity grabbed his head with her hooves.

"Don't talk dearie."

"Dearie? W-"

Noteworthy couldn't finish his response. Rarity quickly pressed her lips against his, making a large blush form on Noteworthy's face. After what felt like hours, Rarity broke the kiss, allowing Noteworthy to breathe.

"..... Why did you..... Rarity?"

Rarity continued to smile.

"Whats the matter? Didn't you like it?"

"Well I-"


Noteworthy's eyes shot open. He was lying on the Ponyville Spa's massage table. The two spa ponies, Aloe and Lotus were staring at him.

"You must have been tired." Said Aloe. "You fell asleep during your massage."

Noteworthy raised an eyebrow.

"That was a dream?" He thought to himself.

"Perhaps the massage was too relaxing." Said Lotus.

Noteworthy got off the massage table.

"I should get going." Said Noteworthy. "See you next time."

Noteworthy made his way towards the exit.

"Should we tell him that he forgot to pay?" Asked Lotus.

"No. We just charge him double next time." Replied Aloe.
