Fluttershy had never seen so many ponies in one place before. The Nightmares must have been a more popular band then she thought, because as far she could see was just a ocean of ponies. The concert was being held at the train station, which Fluttershy was a little confused about. But Rainbow Dash explained that the band goes around Equestria on a personal train and use it as a stage. Fluttershy was amazed at how much Ponyville had gotten ready for their arrival. she saw tons of food and souvenir stalls, all with long lines of eager ponies. The sheer amount of sensory over load, from the sounds of the excited ponies, the smells of the food stands, and the lights decorating the grounds, almost overwhelmed her but she took a deep breath and calmed herself down

"Oh my gosh," yelled Pinkie as she was suddenly wrapped around Fluttershy " have you ever seen so many ponies! I told you The Nightmares were awesome, look how many ponies think so! Oh my gosh, this is going to be the best night EVER!!"

Fluttershy and Rainbow just looked at her hoping she would get it out of her system, a long shot they both knew. They eventually were able to calm her down enough to finally get to their seats. Fluttershy was amazed at how close they were to the stage, they were in the third row.

"Wow," she said with timid amazement " how did you get seats this close?"

Rainbow was about to answer when Pinkie once again interrupted her.
"Oh, that was easy," she answered in her usual exited tone " I just had to wait in line for a few days. It was so much fun, it was like a sleepover that lasted a week!"
"Yeah," Rainbow said as she pushed Pinkie aside so she could actually get a word in " we were lucky she did that, or we couldn't get these amazing.."

She was interrupted by a train whistle and the sound of everypony there screaming in applause. but all the screaming was dwarfed by Pinkie's excited screams. Fluttershy was beyond shocked at the almost deafening tone of the crowd. As she was about to tense up, Rainbow put her arm around her to try and keep her calm. This helped but she was still nervous, she didn't know what to was happening. But that question was quickly answered as she saw the train pull into the station. It wasn't anything like the normal train, it wasn't colorful at all. Instead it was mostly black with a few parts colored in dark colors, like red or purple. The train itself looked threatening, which didn't bode well for Fluttershy. But she had little time to worry as the show began.

The show started with a piano playing, as the composer slowly emerged to the top of the middle car, playing a grand piano. The first thing that Fluttershy noticed about him was his coloring, he was as grey as a cloudy night, the only thing darker was his mane. His mane she thought was like a moonless night except for a single streak of red running through it. And his cutie mark was three musical notes, the same color of his streak in his hair. Fluttershy then forgot everything, the cheering crowds, the intimidating train, and the overwhelming smells from the food carts, and just heard his music. It was soft, almost kind but it had a overwhelming feeling of loneliness that engulfed everything that heard it. Fluttershy almost felt like crying, but then the music changed. It went from a feeling of loneliness to of anger and pain. The lone stallion was then joined by three more ponies, all of which gave Fluttershy a sense of dread. The music kept getting darker and darker, and had started to really scare her. Even with her friends next to her she felt completely alone. Her fear turned to panic as she had the urge to escape. But when she tried, Pinkie Pie grabbed her and held close, almost pushing her towards the stage. After the third song, Fluttershy had finally had too much and everything around her went black as she fell to the cold ground.
