The start of a video

Lyra was dressed up in bright colourful costume and was sitting in a room filled with cusions and other items.

"Okay scene one take 2." said a light blue pony but before they could start a loud cry was heard from Derpy's dressing room.

"WHY MY EYES!" screamed the gray pony and Lyra ran in to find Derpy looking at the now edited scenes that she had filmed the first day they started, she looked the same except her eyes had been fixed to not look scrambled and were a light green not the yellow they originally were. "Why did you underp my eyes?"

"Well Derpy understand ponies won't by CD's from ponies that have derpy eyes they might think the music is as they would say Retarded." said Golden Record trying to calm Derpy down but it wasn't until they got Time Turner in that she calmed down and listened.

"Look Derpy, they just needed to do it for this video," said Time Turner and Derpy nodded her head, "They won't do it anymore and it doesn't change who you are does it?" Derpy shook her head and then let out a small smile. "And she has returned to us."

"How do you do it?" asked Golden Record as Time Turner stepped back.

"I have a little sister at home." said Time Turner as Derpy felt like crying again as she realised she had been friend zoned and just nodded her head.

"Can everyone leave now?" asked Derpy as she lied down on a bed by the window. "I'm a bit tired."

"Okay, we'll get back to filming Lyra's part." said Golden Record walking out the door and everyone but Time Turner left.

"I saw your face when I said little sister," said Time Turner as Derpy looked at Time Turner and sniffled. "I don't think of you as a little sister you know, I think of you as a Girl friend, I love you Derpy Hooves and I am willing to shout it to the roof tops." Derpy smiled as Time Turner winked at her and then went to shout it out.

"I LOVE YOU TIME TURNER!" shouted Derpy beating TIme Turner to it.

"I LOVE YOU TOO DERPY HOOVES!" shouted Time Turner then Golden Record slammed the door open.

"Can you please be quiet and Time Turner get back to your job." said Golden Record slamming the door closed again.

"And Time Turner get back to your job," said Time Turner mocking Golden Record and then smiled, "I better be going, want to meet at the Juniper deli?" Derpy shook her head

"I have a better place." said Derpy smiling and then watched Time Turner walk out the door.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"So this is the place?" said Time Turner walking in the door to the Cupcake corner.

"Yep." said Derpy looking at the table that had been set up.

"I though this was a bakery?" said Time Turner looking around at the shelves of baked goods and other delectable items.

"Well it is but for tonight it's a restaurant." said Derpy walking up to a table with Time Turner and sitting down at it watching as Pinkie came sprinting out and handed them menus and then ran back to the kitchen.

"So what do you want to order?" asked Time Turner.

"I thinking the spaghetti and hayballs." said Derpy folding the menu back up and placing menu back on the table.

"Think we could split it?" asked Time Turner folding his menu raised his hoof.

"Yes?" asked Pinkie leaning in close.

"Think we could get the spaghetti and hayballs?" said Time Turner as Pinkie rushed off and then came back with the spaghetti.

"That was fast." said Derpy seeing skid marks on the floor from where Pinkie stopped.

"Well lets eat." sad Time Turner as they began eating the meal.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Goodbye Derpy," said Time Turner smiling and then turned in the opposite direction to Derpy and completely and totally in love and ended up not seeing Fluttershy in front of him, falling to the ground on top of her. "oh sorry." Time Turner got up and dusted himself off what he didn't hear was a faint click from a camera in the bush.

Becoming famous

"JAI HO!" sang the group of young ponies around the microphone as they completed the song and looked out at the empty room except for Pinky standing in the door way

"WOO WOO ENCORE ENCORE!" shouted Pinky smiling and clapping her hands and bouncing in her seat. "You're going to do great tonight." The group of Ponies blushed until Derpy finally spoke up.

"You really think so?" asked Derpy as her eye went all derped

"I know so." said Pinky nodding her head and her hair bounced with it.

"Well I'm not surpised with Lyra singing lead." said Bon Bon as Lyra blushed.

"Oh no, I mean it couldn't just be me." said Lyra lowering her head and inching backwards.

"It is, you are the only one of us that has a music cutie mark." said Berry punch hic-upping a little as she went to go drink more wine.

"But that's for the Lyre...." said Lyra blushing more and then smiled and shook her head. "Maybe we should practise one last song." the group of ponies nodded there heads and Derpy began strumming a guitar.

"Me and my derpy eyes...." sang Derpy laughing a little.

"Will you ever get that song finished?" asked Bon Bon as Derpy

"I will one day, it's the only song I haven't finished." said Derpy beginning to play the tune of one of her faviourite songs 'Moonlight alley' it didn't have words because they didn't need them and they would just hum to the tune.

"Moonlight shining, Moonlight bright the song of sorrow blazing light." sang Lyra she would always sing that one line so the song atleast had that and then the song finished and Derpy realised how tired everyone was.

"I'm pooped, I might hit the hay before tonight." said Berry Punch flicking her tail.

"I might join yah." said Bon Bon looking like she was going to fall asleep on her feet.

"I should get going." said Lyra flicking her ears and walking off with the others.

"Hey Derpy?" whispered Colgate walking up to Derpy.

"Yeah?" asked Derpy turning towards Colgate.

"What if everybody changes if we become famous?" asked Colgate looking at the ground.

"Everybody will be the same, they won't change and if they do..." said Derpy knocking over a chair with her rump. "I'll get them with this iron rump of mine." Colgate laughed and stopped worrying.

"Well see you tonight." said Colgate walking out the door and left Derpy by herself with Pinky asleep in a chair.

"See yah." said Derpy looking at the lyric sheet and continued writing her song.

a concert to remember

Derpy sat on the make shift stage and tuned her guitar waiting for it to be 5 o'clock so the concert would start and ponies could start walking in, Pinky had made the counter a bar so the ponies could have a drink if they wanted but Derpy didn't think it was necessary but let Pinky do it anyway.

"Hey Derpy guess what I heard." said Colgate walking up to Derpy.

"What?" asked Derpy looking at Colgate who smiled.

"Golden records is coming." said Colgate with a toothy grin

"WHAT!" shouted Derpy as Colgate mentioned the name of the world renowned record producer who discovered famous ponies like Vinyl scratch and Octavia.

"Yeah he said he was looking for some new talent so he came to see us perform." said Colgate closing her mouth and started bouncing with excitement

"This could be our big break did you tell the others?" asked Derpy and Colgate nodded her head and then looked towards the clock that chimed telling them it was five o'clock so they went back stage and watched as a tale gray furred stallion walked in, he had a slate gray mane and tail and had a golden record disk as a cutie mark.

"I'm so nervous." whispered Lyra as they watched more ponies walk in and the curtain go up soon after and Lyra walked on stage with the rest of the band.

"Jai ho, Jai ho." they sang together

"I got shivers when you touch that way," sang Lyra looking at the crowd and feeling the hot lights pouring over her.

"I'll make you hot, get all you got." sang Derpy as they danced to the rhythm

"I'll make you wanna say." Colgate said the line and they continued singing.

"JAI HO! JAI HO!" sang the group feeling happy as they sang.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Derpy sighed as she swept the floor of the Cupcake corner it had been a week since they had performed and they had heard nothing from Golden Record though they weren't the best group and Derpy wasn't surprised, they weren't the most talented group he could have chosen but the cheers from the crowd was that tiny bit of hope Derpy had.

"Um excuse me is miss Derpy hooves here?" asked a youngs brown stallion, he had a hour glass as a cutie mark.

"Yes?" asked Derpy putting down the broom and walking up to the stallion

"Well I came here to tell you that Golden Record wants to create a music video," said the Brown stallion smiling as Derpy's eyes lit up like light bulbs."Well miss Derpy congratulations," the stallion went from his equestrian accent to a bitish one. "also would you like some tea and crumpets?" Derpy laughed and then smiled.

"I'll have to take you up on the offer." said Derpy as the stallion smiled again.

"By the way my names Time Turner." said Time Turner placing a note on the table that had all of Golden Records details and even a few of Time Turners own and then started walking out the door but was stopped by derpy.

"Do you want to have some muffins they would have been sold but business has been slow." said Derpy hoping a tiny bit that Time Turner would stay and TIme Turner walked back in.

"It'd be my pleasure
