Twilight awoke, finding herself in what looked liked a ball room. She saw many instruments around her, each played by a single different color & pattern of Eris (Princess of Chaos), all surrounding a lone Alicorn mare, who also had a rather small amount of clones, also playing one of each instrument that one would expect to see in a concert. The Alicorn, all her clones, were see through, but all shared the same thing: they had a black mane & tail groomed to look professional, a pure white coat body, and wore a black tuxedo with a matching red bow tie and top hat. The music they played has to be the most beautiful she's heard in her life: everything about it sounded beyond professional, and, if it were possible, it may have calmed Tartarus and Elysium.

"Rise and Shine, Twilight." All the Eris clones spoke together, shaking the whole area.

"Twilight's awake!?" The other Alicorn clones asked, also together at the same time. Their horns glowed and they went back to their single selves: Eris back to her random color & pattern generating self while the other was now whole. Twilight only stared at her, seeing that she was now covered in music symbols around her body, all continuously moving as new ones popped up, all going to her flank area, changing her cutie mark every second.

"Don't stare at me like that!" The Alicorn spoke "When you know every instrument around the world, you can clone yourself then!"

"Can I go now?" Eris asked.

"Oh yes! I need to discuss with Twilight on her lines."

"Lines?" Twilight asked.

"Yes Ma'am!" Eris replied, saluting. She disappeared with a flash, leaving only confetti behind. The Alicorn looked down at the confetti.

"All of you!" She simply stated. The confetti rose up and each had Eris's face on it.

"You're no fun!" The confetti disappeared. The two Alicorns looked at each other.

"I apologize for that. I requested Conduit to bring you here to me, though I wish he hadn't dropped you off during Eris's little practice with me. The Name's Orchestra: Princess of Music. Pleasure to meet you, Twilight Sparkle." She extend her hoof in a civilized manner. Twilight reached her hoof and shook hooves with Orchestra.

"Pleasure to meet you too," Twilight responded "and must I say, the music you and Eris played sounds wonderful!"

"You really think so? Well, just wait until we perform it for Elysium with all of our brothers and sisters!"

"PERFORM!?!?!?"

"Yes! Every 10000 years, we all come back here as a family and we perform a massive lullaby to keep Elysium asleep!"

"But... why!?"

"Why? Well it's all because back then-"

"We'll get to that part at the feast!" Eris yelled. They both looked up and saw Eris hanging on the roof.

"ERIS!!!"

"What? She'll know later on during the feast."

"Well... oh shoot! The Feast! How can I forget!?"

"The Feast?" Twilight asked

"The Feast!" Eris replied, landing next to Orchestra. "I hope Gusteau and Pinot Noir make the best!!!"

"Oh please," Orchestra replied "They are the only ones in our family who can cook AND they have the best chefs & wine makers in the world!"

"Oh yeah... how do I forget that?"

"Because this is our 2nd anniversary together."

"Only the second!?" Twilight asked. Eris gave a stern look to Orchestra.

"You gave away too much." Eris spoke dryly.

"Shut up!" Orchestra replied.

"Hey! Do you even know how hard it is for me to get Editor to write lyrics that satisfy you and her at the same time for all of us!?"

"... You make things harder for everypony, even yourself, that why I now chose Aeros instead of you."

"Stop humiliating me! STOP IT!!!"

"You know I'm here, right?" Twilight replied, sounding cold. The two looked back at her.

"... My apologies," Orchestra spoke "Eris, would you kindly leave us alone?"

"With pleasure." Eris replied She disappeared in a puff of smoke. Orchestra looked around, and no sign of Eris was around.

"Alright. As I was-" A cream pie flew out and splatted on Orchestra's face! Eric cackled loudly, running away into the hallway, turned into a simple chair. Orchestra grumbled to herself and wiped the pie away from her face.

"Do you need help?" Twilight asked

"No Twilight... I can get even with her." She used her magic and levitated a piece of paper to her. "Here. Your lyrics for this grand choir."

"So everypony is going to be there?"

"Just us Alicorns. Of course, I'm sure everything else back on Earth will feel our presence, but I'm not sure what will happen."

"Should I practice?"

"You will. But for now, like all my siblings, you too shall see my origins." He horn glowed, making Twilight seeing things a bit blurry.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elysium heard something, a few miles out from her kingdom, but nowhere near Tartarus's kingdom. She heard something that was quite hypnotizing and it jerked her heart, causing her to be really curious. She walked over to where that sound was coming from, looking back to see if Tartarus was anywhere in the open. Figuring it's best to hurry, Elysium sprinted ahead, following the weird sound that really got her attention.

Shrinking herself down in size to not scare the pony, Elysium saw, in the distance, an earth pony mare making some beautiful music all on her own. She was white all over with her mane & tail being black, and she held, in her hooves, a violin, one of the many instruments that only unicorns and pegasi could master (Pegasi for their magic and Pegasi for their wings having the ability to grab things like fingers.) The Earth Pony played a song with her violin, away from all judgement, and played without even giving a care in the world! Elysium watched in fascination as the earth pony played, not messing up a single note and, though considered handicap for not having wings or a horn, she played wonderfully! Elysium walked to the earth pony, who didn't even notice the titan walking towards her, and continued, turning around, dancing to her own music with her eyes shut.

"Uh... hello?" Elysium introduced herself. The Earth Pony shrieked, playing a bad note, and flung her violin in the air. Elysium caught the violin in midair with her magic, and gently settled it to the floor. the mare turned around and gasped at the titan that was her home's leader.

"Elysium!" She spoke with her cheeks reddening in embarrassment "W-what are you doing here?"

"I was going to ask you the same. Why aren't you back in the kingdom, performing your music to the others?"

"Me? Well... I'm... when the others heard that I can play instruments... they all laughed at me."

"Laughed at you?"

"Yes! I can't blame them: only unicorns and Pegasi can play instruments well, and I'm only an Earth Pony! The best my kind can do is sing and stomp our hooves to the floor."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because we're not special! I'm not sure if you haven't noticed, but we're not the most special out of any of the other two. You must've made us weak so you can help the others feel strong, right?"

"No! I would never do that!"

"Why then!? Why make us weak!"

"You're not weak at all! In fact, I think you may be the strongest out of all of the others."

"...What do you mean?"

"Well, considering when my kingdom began, who were the ones who planted all of the food?"

"...Us?"

"Yep! Who were the ones who pulled all the bevy stuff when there weren't any unicorns or pegasi around?"

"Us?"

"Good! And finally, who are the ones who struggle a lot and eventually make the most groundbreaking things that I've ever witnessed?"

"Us!?"

"That's it! And you... you've made the most beautiful music of all time!"

"...I did!?"

"Oh yes! You enjoyed playing it, you felt the rhythm, you danced with your instrument! While the others did play well, they didn't share your enthusiasm at all! Were you trained by anypony by any chance?"

"Uh...no. I self taught myself, ma'am."

"...Really?"

"Yes."

"Well... that's makes it even more impressive!"

"You think so?"

"I know so! In fact, give me a second." Elysium's horn glowed and it circled around the mare. She began to float into the air, and a pair of wings & a horn came out of her head.

"What the-!? Am I... an Alicorn?"

"You are indeed! The others will be so happy!"  

"Others!?" Elysium grew a bit and the mare shrunk until she was about as tall as the others. Both her and her violin were levitated into Elysium's mouth, and the mare grabbed onto her violin and held on to dear life. Elysium swallowed the mare with her instrument, feeling what was the last of her children going down.

The mare landed on the soft grass below, meeting the others inside Elysium's belly.

"...Where am I?" She asked "Am I dead?"

"Dead?" Natality asked

"NO!" Luna stated "You're inside Elysium, our mother!"

"...Figures." The mare stated.

"Name please." Bureaucrat spoke dryly.

"... It's Orchestra."
