I Left My World for Ponies!?
Chapter 15: Nightmare Night Musical
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"So, let me get this straight," said Twilight. "You honestly thought it would be a good idea to tell the little ones a story about an evil spirit that comes out on Nightmare Night to take away their heads? And then, you decided to bring the legend to life and scare everyone half to death?"
"Honestly? Yes!," DJ replied. This exchange was going on the entire way to the town square. Luna had used the full force of the Royal Canterlot Voice to berate the human's behavior and the other girls put in their two bits as well. Twilight still was in disbelief at his idiocy! Even more so that he felt no remorse for it! "As if a spirit could really do that! Plus, it's just a story back on Earth, too. Completely fiction. It was not supposed to end that way, though. I planned on making a huge revelation on stage after terrorizing the town. That was the plan anyway. Oh, well. It's still gonna be a great show!" Even with all the yelling in his ear, DJ was excited. Earlier in the month, the mayor and Pinkie had approached him to provide the closing entertainment for the festivities. He was beyond excited.
"You are so reckless! What if somepony got hurt, or if Nyx had been injured?," That was Twilight's biggest worry: her daughter getting hurt because her coltfriend was being stupid!
"No pony was gonna get hurt! Only me, it seems. Plus, Nyx was in no danger, we've been working on that little transformation spell for weeks. I think her magic has really improved, wouldn't you agree?"
"Stop trying to change the subject. But, yes," Twilight looked down to her daughter who trailing behind the human, "I am very happy that your skills have improved Nyx. Next time, though, make sure DJ doesn't have you use them for his idiotic ideas, ok?"
Nyx looked at her mother a little ashamed. "Ok, mom. I won't use my magic for evil," she said mimicking DJ's sly smile. DJ beamed down at the little filly. "HA! That's my girl!" DJ didn't know it, but that meant more to Nyx than she let on. Her smile did grow wider, but inside she crying tears of joy.
"Hmph! Well, come on, we shouldn't be late."
"Darn tootin'! Tally ho, everypony!"
They arrived at the festival and DJ sprinted to the back stage, Luna following. "You know, DJ? I did not appreciate that scare at all. Be glad that I am still assisting you," said the night princess.
"Yeah, I get it. I went overboard, ok? Like I said, it could've been worse. But, thank you Luna, this means a lot to me. But, as I told you, this is for Big Mac, not me. He needs this, ok?"
"Of course, of course." Speaking of the Devil, Big Macintosh trotted in moments later. He had a nervous smile and was shaking a little.
"Nervous buddy?"
"E-e-eeeyup!" DJ stifled a laugh at his big friend.
"Don't worry, dude, everything will go fine! I got two sets before our big debut, so you got plenty of time to calm your nerves. Spike should be back here soon, so he should be able to help ya out! Just try to remain calm, big guy. Everything will be fine." With that DJ left Big Mac with Luna and proceeded on stage, the Discords appearing behind him. "You guys ready? This is our big night!"
"OH YEAH! We're pumped boss!," replied Uno, the leader. After all these months, they all decided on names. Uno (lead), Dos, Tres, Quatro, and Cinco. They came up with the names and even after DJ telling what those names meant, they kept them. They like it, so who am I to take it from them?
"Well, then, let's get started!" They reached center stage and DJ spoke to the crowd. "HAPPY NIGHTMARE NIGHT EVERYPONY! WHOSE READY FOR SOME MUSIC!" A big cheer went up from the costumed ponies surrounding them. "GREAT! Now let me tell you a little story before we do this first song. Back on earth, many centuries ago, there was a grand city known as Pompeii. This city was major harbor and trade for the Roman Empire, which was arguably the most powerful empire to ever rule on Earth. The city met a deadly fate, however." The crowd grew silent with that. "There was a massive disaster. The volcano, Mt. Vesuvius, that the city was build at the base of, erupted one fateful night. The eruption was catastrophic and destroyed the city, taking the entire population with it!" The crowd gasped. "Several hundred years later, modern humans unearthed the city to an amazing discovery. The entire city had been encased in volcanic ash, even it's people were perfectly preserved, their faces contorted in fear! Now I sing to you of their fate; of the City of Pompeii, the city that paid for its sins!" With that, the song began.
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
The crowd clapped (stomped?) graciously after the song, some still a little affected by DJ's speech. He noticed this and had been prepared for such an event. "Glad you liked it! Now, enough with the scary and spooky! Let's get the fun music going!" Everypony cheered with the revelation that there would be no more scary music. "For this next one, I need a certain special somepony of mine to come on stage." The crowd looked around, not understanding what he meant. "For those who yet to hear, my special somepony has lived among you for many years and is very close to many of you. So enough with that secrets, Twilight get your sweet flank up here girl!" Everypony gasped in shock! Even more so when a red faced Twilight got up on stage.
"Did you have to say it like that DJ?" They shared a kiss, to the surprise of everypony, except for the Elements and the CMC.
"Sorry, beautiful. Just trying to make an impression. Plus, you're cute when you're flustered." Twilight turned even redder. "See? Cute. Alright Vinyl, start the track!"
DJ:
Mic check, one two, two. Alright its working,
Yo, Welcome to the best collaboration of all time.
Their names? Twilight Sparkle, DJ, myself, and Vinyl Scratch on the track
Word.
DJ:
If I were a rich man
With a million or two
I'd Live in a penthouse
In a room with a view
And if i were handsom(no way)
It could happen
Those dreams do come true
I wouldn't have nothin' if i didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothin' if i didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothin' if i didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothin'
Twilight:
For years i've envied(you agree with it)
Your grace and your charm
Everyone loves you you know(yes i know, i know, i know)
I must admit it
Big guy you always come through
I wouldn't have nothin' if i didn't have you
Both:
You and me together
That's how it always should be
One without the other
Don't men nothin' to me, nothin' to me
Twi:
Yeah i wouldn't be nothin'(aw now)
If i didn't have you to serve
i'm just a punky little eyeball
And a funky optic nerve
Hey i never told you this
Sometimes i get a little blue(looks good on you)
But I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have you,
DJ:
Let's dance (haha)
Twi:
Look Ma! I'm dancin!
Would you let me lead?
Look at that its two big guys who're light on their feet
Don't you dare dip me don't you dare dip me don't you dare dip me
Ow I should have stretched
DJ:
Yes I wouldn't be nothin
If I didn't have you (I know what you mean Sulley because)
I wouldn't know where to go (me too because I)
Or know, what to do (why do you keep singin my part)
Both:
I Don't have to say it (Aw say it anyway)
Cause we both know it's true
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
Youuuuu
DJ:
One more time! Big one!
DJ:
Don't have to say it
Twi:
Where'd everybody come from?
DJ:
Oh we both know its true
Twi:
Let's take it home big guy
Both:
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have
You, you, you!
A-E-I-O that means you
Ya!
Both of them smiled the whole way through, the rest of their friends joining in to sing the dance portion. Twilight hopped off the stage and returned to her friends, completely out of breath. "Thanks for that Twilight! It was fun! Now it's time for the special part of the night!" The crowd, even the Mane 6, had no idea what he was talking about. "It's time to introduce the new members of the band! First off, let's get a look at our new singer/guitarist! Spike, the dragon get out here, man!" Spike bounded on stage full of glee, only to stop after looking towards the crowd. He gave a slight wave to the audience as he slowing walked to DJ. "Stage fright, we'll take care of that soon enough, right folks?" There were few nods.
Twilight was in shock, Spike can sing and play guitar?! Since when? "Unfortunately, Spike won't be showing off his guitar skills 'til later, so let's get our other friend out here! You know him, you admire him, so let's get him out here. BIG MACINTOSH TO CENTER STAGE!!" It was Applejack's turn to be in shock, her only thought, No way!
What walked on stage, however, was not the big red stallion, but a blond haired human male with a red cowboy jacked and denim jeans. The audience, needless to say was breathless. "I know he looks weird, well, weirder!"
"HEY!," boomed the human male, the exact voice of Big Mac. Is that really mah brother, up there? Why does he look like that?, Applejack thought to herself.
"Sorry, heh! Don't worry everypony, it's just a temporary transformation spell that our dear Princess Luna has placed on the big guy. He'll be back to normal in a few hours. Now, this next song was we're gonna do is to help this shy guy open up to his crush!" Big Mac just shifted in his spot a little. "But, there's just one problem! He won't say who this lucky mare is! Now, Big Mac, it's time to let her know." Big Mac hesitated as lifted the mic up to his mouth. "Come on, man. If you don't tell her, than how will she know the song is for her."
"I-it's f-for," he mumbled the rest.
"Come on, scream it to the heavens!"
"F-FLUTTERSHY! It's for F-Fluttershy." An 'eep' came from the crowd. DJ looked out and saw that Fluttershy was beat red.
"There it is. Fluttershy!" He leaned towards the crowd, hand next to his mouth. Who didn't see that commin'?" The crowd chuckled a little. "Now then, let's get things started. Twilight! This for you girl!"
Spike took the initiative and decided to let his feelings known as well. "R-rarity! This is for you!" Rarity gasped in surprise at that.
Big Macintosh followed the trend. "F-Fluttershy! This is for you!" They began their big number.
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads
When you walk through the do-o-or
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is en-o-ough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
"Alright Big Mac, you and me!," said DJ.
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your ey-e-es.
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Na na na na na na naaaa na na

You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
The crowd cheered and three certain mares were blushing a deep red. "Let's keep goin' guys!" And go the did!
Hey girl I'm waiting on ya, I'm waiting on ya.

A massive applause went up from the crowd! "Alright ponies, last song of the night! Let's do it right! Kick up the country, casue you know you wanna hang...with me and my gang!"

After that the festivities began to wind down. When everypony decided that the night was over it was 3 in the morning. DJ, Twilight, Nyx, and Spike returned to the library. As Nyx and Spike went upstairs to bed, Twilight and DJ decided to talk a little. "I really am sorry that I scared you guys so bad last night, Twilight. Just wanted to have some fun."
"I understand that DJ, but...but..."
"But?"
"I thought I lost you DJ!" This caused DJ's mind to come to a screeching halt. "I thought that you had been killed by that spirit of yours. I don't what I would do without you DJ." Tears were welling up in her eyes.
DJ walked up to Twilight and pulled her into a big hug. "I am so sorry Twilight. I didn't want you to feel like that. Please forgive me for being so stupid." Twilight could only nod. They kissed and went to bed together. (GET THOSE NAUGHTY THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR HEADS READERS! NOTHING HAPPENED!)
