“Since you said that anything we can do you can do better, for one thousand bits let’s see if you can sing better than me” I said. “This won’t be a challenge for Trixie” she said. Then somehow, she made a microphone appear in between us. “You first” I said kicking the microphone over to her. “Very well” she said levitating the mic in front of her.

And out of nowhere pinky popped out behind me with a White coat and blue mane unicorn, pinky placed the unicorn at a dj’s both and started playing music. She took a deep breath and sang.

“Oh, Oh, Oh It's Magic! You know.

Never believe its not so!

It's Magic!

You know.

Never believe its not so!

Never been awake

Never seen a day break

Leaning on my pillow in the morning

Lazy in bed, Music in my head

Crazy music playing in the morning,

Light. “

The crowd clapped there hooves together in amazement. I almost did myself. The crowd quieted down, Trixie handed me the mic and said “make it quick, Trixie doesn't have all day.” The DJ played her next track surprisingly its one I actually know. I lifted the mic took a deep breath and sang lose yourself. lose yourself

“Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity

to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment

would you capture it or just let it slip?

Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,

The whole crowd goes so loud

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

He's choking how, everybody's joking now

The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

He's so mad, but he won't give up that

Easy, no

He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes

It don't matter, he's dope

He knows that but he's broke

He's so stagnant, he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

Back to the lab again, Yo

This whole rhapsody

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Yo

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Yo

(You better)

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king, as we move toward a new world order

A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem

It only grows harder, only grows hotter

He blows us all over these hoes is all on him

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter

Lonely roads, God only knows

He's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product

They moved on to the next schmo who flows

He knows dove and sold nada

So the soap opera is told and unfolds

I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on.

The whole crowd cheered louder than they did last time. Trixie, with her jaw handing down, was shocked. “The audience says I win, pay up” I said dropping the microphone. She reached into her robe pocket and pulled out all the bits she had. She gave me twenty bits.

“Here, take it” she said tossing the coins to the ground. At that moment I realized what I did. I grabbed the tossed coins from the ground, walked over to Trixie, placed my hand on her back, and said “I’m sorry for taking your glory away and yelling at you, please take your bits back.” “Thank you” she said hugging me with teary eyes. Trixie released me and went to pack up for the next town.

Not knowing any other way of making money, I walked over to applejack and asked “do you have any thing I could do for you to earn some bits?” “Sure do, follow me to ma’ families’ farm” she said. We walked on a narrow dirt road for what seemed like twelve minutes. “Welcome to sweat apple acres” applejack said pushing a White gate, which surrounded the whole farm, door open. “Nice place, but what’s the job you want me to do?” I asked noticing that the sun was setting.

“First ya’ll need to get some rest; ya’ll will sleep in the barn” Applejack said trotting to the red building. She opened the doors to the barn. The inside looked like any other barn, except there weren't any animals to be found. “Get comfy, haler if ya’ll need anything” she said leaving me to myself. Seeing as there were nothing, but hay and sheets.

I grabbed a pile of hay and stuffed it into a pillow case. “I think it’s time for some well-deserved rest” I thought as I laid my head on the makeshift pillow. I drifted into slumber, after a minute I dreamed that I was in the Everfree forest. I walked and walked, suddenly I heard a growl. I turned and saw six yellow glowing eyes poking through the bushes.

“Who’s the-” I said ending mid-sentence seeing that the creatures were the wooden wolves that attacked me and fluttershy. Not being able to see in the dark forest enough to fight, I ran. I could hear them behind me, god I could feel their warm breath on my neck. I stumbled on what felt like a lose stone. My body fell to the ground.

I couldn't get up; one of the wolves had pinned me down. I felt its drool fall from its mouth to my cheeks. The wolf raised its head, let me go, and barked at its companions telling them to leave. I lifted myself up off the ground and saw what scared the wolves away. It was a tall, dark blue, winged, unicorn.

“Who are you?” I asked the pony. “I AM LUNA” she yelled, practically shattering my ear drums. I covered my ears and asked “can you please lower your voice?” “We are sorry, if thou wishes to learn more about us wait until nightmare night, good bye” she said using her horn to create a bright flash. I couldn't see for a few seconds.

The light vanished and I could see that I was back at the barn. I sat up and saw a dog looking at me.  I saw she was wearing a caller that said “Winona.” Soon Winona jumped on me and started licking me. “Whoa, whoa down girl” I said wile laughing at the same time.

“Hay, apple bloom, what was that noise” said somepony on the outside of the barn. “Ah don’t know, ah think it came from the barn” another pony said. I stood up with Winona by my side and walked over to the door. I was only half way to it before three little ponies walked in. All three of them had the same terrified expression on their face. It looked like they thought I was going to kill them or something.

“Uh… hi” I said waving my right hand. “AHHHHHHHHHH!” they screamed running out the door. “Well that’s something you don’t see every day” I thought “might as well ask applejack what she wants me to do for the day.” I left the barn Winona walking behind me. I reached her family’s house and saw through the window three, scared to death, fillies talking to applejack and a red stallion.

“Applejack, big mac there’s a monster in the barn” said a yellow cote, red mane pony.  “Last time ah checked there wasn't any monster in the barn” applejack said patting her on the head. “But we saw it with our own eyes” an orange cote, purple mane Pegasus said. I stood by the window; Winona barked alerting the five ponies to my presence. “There it is!” a Wight cote, light pink and purple mane pony screeched.

I opened the front door and said “applejack, would you like to straighten this out.” “Sure, sugar cube” she said. “Now girls, this here creature is no monster” she said.“Then what is it?” scootalo asked. “He’s our new farm hand” applejack said.

“Now that’s all clear, what do you want me to do?” I asked hoping the job wouldn't be too hard. “Follow me and ah’ll show you” applejack said walking out the door. We approached an apple tree, which had three baskets under it, on top of a hill.

“Were here” said applejack. “So, why are we here” I asked. “To show ya’ll what to do” applejack said.

She stood in front of the tree, turned, lifted her hind legs up, and kicked the tree with great force. Then all the apples fell into the baskets about thirty in each. “If I do that I’ll break all the bones in my leg, but I can do this” I said walking towered another tree. “What are ya doing?” applejack asked.

I climbed the tree, grabbed a branch, and started shaking. The apples fell into the baskets and applejack said “wow, never seen that before.” I jumped out of the tree and said “what next.”“Nothing right now, but could ya take apple bloom and her friends to school?” she asked. I agreed and left the farm with apple bloom, sweetie belle, and scootalo.

“So, how are you three doing?” I asked walking behind the trio. None of them answered me, there was only silence. After twenty-five minutes of walking we reached the school.“See you later” I said. “Bye” sweetie belle yelled. As I turned and walked away, I heard a girl say “still haven’t found you special talent, blank flanks.”

“I’m sorry to say diamond tiara, but I doubt they will ever find there special talents” said another voice in a sarcastic tone. Hearing that, I walked to the pink cote, dark pink/silver mane filly and asked “why are you bullying these three?”

“Because their blank flanks” she said in a ‘are you stupid or something’ tone. “And what exactly is a “blank flank?” I asked. “It’s a pony that doesn't have his or her cutie mark” said the silver mane, gray cote pony.

“What’s a cutie mark?” I ask. “A cutie mark is a symbol that shows what you’re special talent is, on your flank” diamond tiara said in an annoyed tone.“So you’re insulting them because they don’t have a tramp stamp?” I asked thinking “How childish are these two?” “But they haven’t found there special talent” said the gray pony. “So what, they could be something special. Like a scientist, a doctor, or a musician” I said hearing the bell ring “now get to class."

With the five fillies leaving for class, two of witch hanging there down looking at the ground, I walked back to sweet apple acres seeing applejack and big mac kicking apple trees. “Is there anything else you need me to do, applejack!” I yelled across the orchard of trees.“Na, ya earned your bits for today!” she said tossing a bag of bits. I searched the bag to find only one-hundred bits. I left the farm to ask pinky if I could help with her.

“Hi, pinky” I said entering the bakery. “Hello” she said behind the counter. “Do you have I job I could do for you?” I asked walking up to her. “No, but I have a present for you” she said searching the counter “there it is.” She pulled out a small box.

I opened it and I could feel my heart skip a beat. What I saw was about nine-hundred gold pieces. “Thank, but how did you know?” I asked leaning against a table. “I read the chapter” she said confusing me more and more. “O.k. well thanks any way, pinky” I said walking out the door.

“What did she mean by the chapter” I thought “probably nothing.” I now have two-thousand bit so I can pay the doctor for fluttershy’s surgery.
