     After the 7 had played around in the pool, they were drying off. "Hey, I have an idea! "Derpy stated.

     Vinyl sighed. "We're all gonna get arrested... "

     "Let's all go to that karaoke place a few blocks away! I know i'm a bad singer, but I've never heard any of you guys sing before!" Derpy smiled, getting REALLY excited.

     Nova scratched the back of his head, smiling nervously. "Umm... Derpy, I'm not all that good at singing. I mean, Dash always told me- "

     "I don't care what your sister says, she's dumb! I bet you guys can sing really good! I heard Octavia singing that one night when we went to the lake, and she sounded really nice, so why not all of us sing?" Octavia turned away and blushed as Derpy spoke.

     "Well, um, I wouldn't exactly say i'm a good singer..."Octavia said.

     "That's stupid of you to say that! Ooh! We can make a band! Tavie and Vinny already have experience with music, and Vinny's famous for it!" Nova sighed, shaking his head.

     Roseluck spoke up, a smile on her face. "How about we just stick to your karaoke plan, OK, Derpy?" She asked, tilting her head. Derpy nodded rapidly.

                                                                                 ---

     When the group had reached the karaoke place, many singers had already signed up. One person was singing "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Goyte. "Hmm.. Trixie is amused by this place... " Trixie said, adjusting her hat.

     "Yeah! Come on, Muffin! Let's go choose a song!" Derpy tugged on Nova's arm as the 6 made their way to the sing up area.

     When they were done, they sat down for drinks and some food. Eventually, it was someone's turn to sing.

     "Muffin! Get a move on! We don't have all day, you know!" Derpy pushed Nova forward onto the stage while he protested.

     "N-No! I changed my mind, I don't wanna sing! Pleeeaaase let me go! "He continued to whine until Seiko pinched his collar bone.

     "Do NOT be a coward. I came here to have fun, and I WON'T have fun if you don't sing. So get your ass up there and sing, got it? "She asked Nova as he trembled.

     "Y-Yeah... Sorry... "Nova walked onto the stage, looking at the dozens of people watching him. He gulped, and took deep breaths. Okay, Nova. You can do this... Just close your eyes... And sing... Terribly. He wrapped his hand around the microphone

If I had to I would put myself right beside you

So let me ask, would you like that? Would you like that?

And I don't mind if you say this love is the last time

So now I'll ask, do you like that? Do you like that? No!

Something's getting in the way

Something's just about to break

I will try to find my place

In the diary of Jane

So tell me how it should be!

Try to find out what makes you tick as I lie down

Sore and sick, do you like that? Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate and I don't mind

Just let me say that I like that, I like that

Something's getting in the way

Something's just about to break

I will try to find my place

In the diary of Jane

As I burn another page

As I look the other way

I still try to find my place

In the diary of Jane

So tell me how it should be!

     Nova smiled as he sang, rocking his head, his eyes closed. As he opened them, he saw each of his girls smiling, Vinyl with tears in her eyes... Probably from the epicness.

Desperate, I will crawl, waiting for so long

No love, there is no love

Die for anyone, what have I become?

Something's getting in the way

Something's just about to break

I will try to find my place

In the diary of Jane

As I burn another page

As I look the other way

I still try to find my place

In the diary of Jane...

     As the music died out, the crown cheered, clapping their hands. Nova shuffled nervously, not liking all the attention he was getting. Although, he should've been used to it by now, being followed around by 6 girls everyday. Nice job, Nova! You rocked! Now, you just got to get off stage without making a fool of yourself...

     "Alright, next up, we have Derpy Hooves singing Again by Yui!!! "The announcer said. Derpy stepped up on stage as Nova walked down, taking hold of the microphone.

     "Hiii guys! My name's Derpy Hooves, and I know what you're thinking: Ooh, that girl's voice is weird, her singing is going to be terrible! Well.. Yeah, it's gonna suck, "Derpy took wriggled her fingers, taking a deep breath. In a couple seconds, she began to sing, hoping not to completely screw up.

I will pursue this dream, 'cause I know it's expected that I be serene

Upon this winding road, in the face of the crowds that bustle all around

Although it seems like I am chasing after the past,

What I want is a place where the sky is alive and like home to me

Please try to understand the truth

That this is no choice

And I wish you'd stop with that look of despair

You're giving me

Tears are nothing but the shape of our weakness

And they won't bring any absolution

I do not see an end to this labyrinth

Who am I waiting for~

And I write it down in the pages of my notebook

'Cause I'm looking for the me that is still honest

I am running but I don't even know why

From this reality

To chase my wishes I'll carry on living

And I will always remember the depths of the darkness

I'll face my demons and I'll no longer run away

There isn't a place to go

I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless

'Cause my whole life is ahead of me

I'll quash the numbness

'Cause pain's better than the emptiness

I must apologize, I've really messed up and

I am so ashamed

I may not say it much,

But I know that I make you worry all the time

Back then you always could accept the things I'd done

And you're still the same today so I'll try not to burden you

But try to realize that I have closed my eyes

Just because the world is too harsh

And I'm willing to blind myself

Rumors that they have spread about us

I do not know which was the first one

"We were friends from the second that we met,"

Just stop with the lies already

And my heart turned red with this passion

And it almost consumed my very being

'Cause in truth I'd held onto hope

From this reality

To chase my wishes I'll carry on living

And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me?

I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away

There isn't a place to go

I still am grateful for the care you've shown me

So I'll find the strength to make it count

I'll always move onward

Facing my friends and foes alike

How do you unlock this door that has no key?

Can you think of a way?

We can't go back to the beginning

The story is set, and our destinies too

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless

'Cause my whole life is ahead of me

And the things I once abandoned

I want to try and find again

Come on, just one more time

To chase my wishes I'll carry on living

And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me?

I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away

There isn't a place to go

I still am grateful for the care you've shown me

So I'll find the strength to make it count

I'll quash the numbness

'Cause pain's better than the emptiness!

     Derpy smiled as the music came to a stop, laughing as the people cheered for her. She'd never had this much attention before, and she was kinda liking it. "Thank you so much! Next up is my friend Vinyl Scratch, but you guys may know her as DJP0N3!!! "The ENTIRE crown cheered, awaiting the musician that they loved. Derpy handed the mic to Vinyl, who took it proudly.

     "What's up, my awesome fans!? Tonight, i'm gonna be singing one of my friend's favorite songs off all time: Discord by Eurobeat Brony, remixed by The Living Tombstone! "The audience cheered as the music began playing, and Seiko raised an eyebrow.

I'm not a fan of puppeteers but I've a nagging fear

Someone else is pulling at the strings

Something terrible is going down through the entire town

Wreaking anarchy and all it brings

I can't sit idly, no, I can't move at all

I curse the name, the one behind it all...

Discord, I'm howlin' at the moon

And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it anymore

So take your tyranny away!

I'm fine with changing status quo, but not in letting go

Now the world is being torn apart

A terrible catastrophe played by your symphony,

What a terrifying work of art!

I can't sit idly, no, I can't move at all

I curse the name, the one behind it all...

Discord, I'm howlin' at the moon

And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it anymore

So take your tyranny away!

Discord, I'm howlin' at the moon

And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it anymore

So take your tyranny away!

     Many of the people reached their hands, attempting to touch Vinyl's hand. When the noise died down, Vinyl announced. "OK, we have 4 more songs by my friends. Next up is Seiko, who will be singing... "Vinyl held out the microphone to Seiko.

     "One Reason by Fade, "Seiko said, stepping up on stage. Nobody spoke as the music began playing, and Seiko smiled wickedly, giggling hysterically.

Slit the throat of reason and reality

Cut myself and scream for their insanity

Wake up to this nightmare that will never end

The main attraction of this twisted master plan

Trust nothing but pain to get me through the daze

Sleep with one eye open not to be their prey

Fist against my face they bring me to my knees

The pressure's crushing down so hard

I can't break free

When I can feel my skin crawl

When I'm about to crack

The hunger for revenge

gives me strength to stand

I will be your deadman

With nothing but this blood on my hands

Stuck in your "wonderland"

I just want to make you bleed like me

Everyday goes by without a second thought

Living in a perfect and controlled project

A puppet of their sick perversion's appetite

Will I be trapped inside this hell until I die?

So what if no one cares

Enough to make a change?

I give my bleeding heart out for one reason

I will be your deadman

With nothing but this blood on my hands

Stuck in your "wonderland"

I want to make you bleed just like me

So make me your deadman

With only poison in my veins

Stuck in your "wonderland"

Stagnated by the passivity

I'm gonna make you bleed like me!!!

     Several people applauded, but most just stared in awe. Nobody would expect Seiko's voice to be this... Spectacular. "Octavia, "Seiko tossed the mic to Octavia, who caught it hesitantly, walking up on the stage.

     "U-um... Hi. My name's Octavia... "Octavia squeaked, getting an 'awww' from several audience members. "I'll um.. Be singing... Say OK by um... Vanessa Hudgens... "The crowd cheered as Octavia took a deep breath, eyes closed.

You are fine, you are sweet

Fine, I'm still a bit naive with my heart

When you're close, I don't breathe

I can't find the words to speak and I feel sparks

But I don't wanna be into you

If you're not looking for true love

No, I don't wanna start seeing you

If I can't be your only one, so tell me

When it's not alright, when it's not ok

Will you try to make me feel better?

Will you say alright? Will you say ok?

Will you stick with me through whatever

Or run away?

Say that it's gonna be alright

That it's gonna be ok

When you call I don't know

If I should pick up the phone every time

I'm not like all my friends

Who keep calling up the boys, I'm so shy

But I don't wanna be into you

If you don't treat me the right way

See, I can only start seeing you

If you can make my heart feel safe

Feel safe!

When it's not alright, when it's not ok

Will you try to make me feel better?

Will you say alright? Will you say ok?

Will you stick with me through whatever

Or run away?

Say that it's gonna be alright

That it's gonna be ok

Don't run away, don't run away

Let me know if it's gon' be you

Boy, you got some things to prove

Let me know that you'll keep me safe

I don't want you to run away

So let me know that you'll call on time

Let me know that you'll help me shine

Will you wipe my tears away?

Will you hold me closer?

When it's not alright, when it's not ok

Will you try to make me feel better

Will you say alright? Will you say ok?

Will you stick with me through whatever

Or run away?

Say that it's gon' be alright

That it's gon' be ok

Don't run away

Say that it's gon' be alright

That it's gon' be ok, don't run away

Will you say ok?

Say that it's gon' be alright

That it's gon' be ok, don't run away

Will you say ok?

     "....Eep... "The crowd clapped, cheering loudly. "Um, yes, thank you... "As the cheers died out, Octavia spoke once again. "Next up is um, Trixie Lulamoon singing um... Crazier by um.. Taylor Swift? Yeah, I think that's who wrote it... "Octavia passed the microphone to Trixie, who had an uneasy look on her face.

     "Hello, thy darlings. The name is The Great and Powerful Trixie! Thou shall bow down to Trixie's excellence! "The crowd remained silent. "... Trixie shall sing now... "

I've never gone with the wind

Just let it flow

Let it take me where it wants to go

Till you open the door

There's so much more

I've never seen it before

I was trying to fly

But I couldn't find wings

Then you came along

And you changed everything

You lift my feet off the ground

Spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I

I'm lost in your eyes

You make me crazier,

Crazier, crazier

Watched from a distance as you

Made life your own

Every sky was your own kind of blue

And I wanted to know

How that would feel

And you made it so real

You showed me something that I couldn't see

You opened my eyes and you made me believe

You lift my feet off the ground'

Spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I

I'm lost in your eyes

You make me crazier,

Crazier, crazier,

ohh......

Baby, you showed me what living is for

I don't want to hide anymore..... more....

You lift my feet off the ground,

spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I

I'm lost in your eyes

You make me crazier,

Crazier, crazier

Crazier, crazier...

     Nobody spoke. ".... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!? "The crowed cheered, Trixie crossing her arms. "Hmph! Roseluck, you may go now, "Trixie handed the microphone to Roseluck.

     "Hello, my name is Roseluck. How are you all doing tonight? "Various answers came from the crowd. "Good, good. I am also doing well. Well, I shall be singing Send it on, sung by various artists, "most of the crowd cheered, and one wearing a Selena Gomez shirt began screaming, waving his hands around.

A word's just a word

'Til you mean what you say

And love isn't love

'Til you give it away

We've all gotta give

Yes, something to give

To make a change

Send it on, on and on

Just one hand can heal another

Be a part, reach a heart

Just one spark starts a fire

With one little action

The chain reaction will never stop

Make it strong

Shine a light, and send it on

Just smile, and the world

(Just smile, and the world)

Will smile along with you

That small act of love

Is meant for one who will become two

If we take the chances

To change circumstances

Imagine all we can do

If we send it on, on and on

Just one hand can heal another

Be a part, reach a heart

Just one spark starts a fire

With one little action

The chain reaction will never stop

Make it strong

Shine a light, and send it on

Send it on, ooh, send it on

There's power in all

Of the choices we make

So I'm starting now

There's not a moment to waste

A word's just word

'Til you mean what you say

And love isn't love

'Til you give it away

Send it on, on and on

Just one hand can heal another

Be a part, reach a heart

Just one spark starts a fire

With one little action

The chain reaction will never stop

Make it strong

Shine a light, and send it on

Send it on, on and on

Just one hand can heal another

Be a part, reach a heart

Just one spark starts a fire

With one little action

The chain reaction will help things start

Make it strong

Shine the light, and give it on

Shine the light, and send it on

Shine the light, and send it on...

     "Thank you all very much. Sadly, that's all from my friends and I. I hope you all have a very good night, "everyone in the crowd cheered, including an OBVIOUSLY stoned guy.

     When the 7 left, Vinyl and Trixie were a little... Tipsy. "Nova... You're so pretty... I like you... Will you marry me? "Vinyl said, having to hold onto Nova's shoulder to keep from falling.

     "Remind me again what the drinking age is in Equestria, Roseluck? "

     Roseluck smiled, answering Nova. "15. "

     Nova's jaw dropped. " You've GOT to be kidding me! In America, it's like, 21 years old... "Nova facepalmed.

     "Well, no crime pretty much happens in Equestria, so Princess Celestia doesn't feel the need to have the age so high, "Derpy said, giggling.

     "Ahhh... You're a pretty young lady, aren't 'cha? "Trixie said, stroking Octavia's face. "Tell you what... When we get home, you and me can head up to my dorm and- "

     Octavia squealed, a blush spread across her face. "Trixie, quit verbally raping Octavia, she's too fragile and innocent, "Nova suggested to Trixie.

     "Awww... But she's so cute... I bet she has a pretty cute- "

     Vinyl lightly hit Trixie on the shoulder. "Hey you rat! Quit flirting with my.. My... My pet rock! "

     "...Pet...Rock? What the hell did they serve her... "

     Trixie crossed her arms. "Hey... Quit interrupting me, you multicolor haired brat! "

     "They're 50 Shades of Grey! "

     Nova shook his head, blushing. "Their shades of blue, and there's like 8 of them... "No, seriously. WHAT THE HELL DID THEY SERVE THEM!?
