Sweetie Belle got upon the stage and began sweating as she looked on to the watchful eyes upon her shaky physique. She was ready to turn around and give up as her fear finally settled in and let her know that if she fucked this up, her life would be over.

This was Canterlot, not Ponyville. She was an Equestrian Idol now, just mere hours away from knowing whether or not she wins this challenge or not. She was sick of feeling this way. Sick of feeling like the world was on her shoulders. Sick of singing for these ponies who cared not even about her as much as they cared about her talent. As if she were some soldier to be used in a musical talent war. It just wasn't fair.

She looked to her friends, to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then, she looked to the space where Rarity would be if it weren't for her death a few months ago. Taken by Diamond Dogs and raped to death. They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on. Just like in the first audition, when she ran out initially out of fear, but Rarity pushed her back in.

Rarity was pushing her right now.

"Are you ready to begin, Sweetie Belle?" Lil Kim said, giving her a thumbs up.

Sweetie Belle sighed in relief and smiled, looking up with confidence to the night sky reaching above her and the setting sun in the distance. Celestia and Luna and Cadance were there as well. And so was Twilight, who was one of the judges, but was stuffing her face with pancakes.

Vinyl hit the beat, which was the Nyan Cat theme's opening, and Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to sing:

Then time stopped and went back.

Sweetie Belle got upon the stage and began sweating as she looked on to the watchful eyes upon her shaky physique. She was ready to turn around and give up as her fear finally settled in and let her know that if she fucked this up, her life would be over.

This was Canterlot, not Ponyville. She was an Equestrian Idol now, just mere hours away from knowing whether or not she wins this challenge or not. She was sick of feeling this way. Sick of feeling like the world was on her shoulders. Sick of singing for these ponies who cared not even about her as much as they cared about her talent. As if she were some soldier to be used in a musical talent war. It just wasn't fair.

She looked to her friends, to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then, she looked to the space where Rarity would be if it weren't for her death a few months ago. Taken by Diamond Dogs and raped to death. They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on. Just like in the first audition, when she ran out initially out of fear, but Rarity pushed her back in.

Rarity was pushing her right now.

"Are you ready to begin, Sweetie Belle?" Lil Kim said, giving her a thumbs up.

Sweetie Belle sighed in relief and smiled, looking up with confidence to the night sky reaching above her and the setting sun in the distance. Celestia and Luna and Cadance were there as well. And so was Twilight, who was one of the judges, but was stuffing her face with pancakes.

Vinyl hit the beat, which was the Nyan Cat theme's opening, and Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to sing:

They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on. Just like in the first audition, when she ran out initially out of fear, but Rarity pushed her back in.

Rarity was pushing her right now.

"Are you ready to begin, Sweetie Belle?" Lil Kim said, giving her a thumbs up.

Sweetie Belle sighed in relief and smiled, looking up with confidence to the night sky reaching above her and the setting sun in the distance. Celestia and Luna and Cadance were there as well. And so was Twilight, who was one of the judges, but was stuffing her face with pancakes.

Vinyl hit the beat, which was the Nyan Cat theme's opening, and Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to sing:

Then time stopped and went back.

Sweetie Belle got upon the stage and began sweating as she looked on to the watchful eyes upon her shaky physique. She was ready to turn around and give up as her fear finally settled in and let her know that if she fucked this up, her life would be over.

This was Canterlot, not Ponyville. She was an Equestrian Idol now, just mere hours away from knowing whether or not she wins this challenge or not. She was sick of feeling this way. Sick of feeling like the world was on her shoulders. Sick of singing for these ponies who cared not even about her as much as they cared about her talent. As if she were some soldier to be used in a musical talent war. It just wasn't fair.

She looked to her friends, to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then, she looked to the space where Rarity would be if it weren't for her death a few months ago. Taken by Diamond Dogs and raped to death. They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on.

Then time stopped and went back.

Sweetie Belle got upon the stage and began sweating as she looked on to the watchful eyes upon her shaky physique. She was ready to turn around and give up as her fear finally settled in and let her know that if she fucked this up, her life would be over.

This was Canterlot, not Ponyville. She was an Equestrian Idol now, just mere hours away from knowing whether or not she wins this challenge or not. She was sick of feeling this way. Sick of feeling like the world was on her shoulders. Sick of singing for these ponies who cared not even about her as much as they cared about her talent. As if she were some soldier to be used in a musical talent war. It just wasn't fair.

She looked to her friends, to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then, she looked to the space where Rarity would be if it weren't for her death a few months ago. Taken by Diamond Dogs and raped to death. They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on. Just like in the first audition, when she ran out initially out of fear, but Rarity pushed her back in.

Rarity was pushing her right now.

"Are you ready to begin, Sweetie Belle?" Lil Kim said, giving her a thumbs up.

Sweetie Belle sighed in relief and smiled, looking up with confidence to the night sky reaching above her and the setting sun in the distance. Celestia and Luna and Cadance were there as well. And so was Twilight, who was one of the judges, but was stuffing her face with pancakes.

Vinyl hit the beat, which was the Nyan Cat theme's opening, and Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to sing:

Vinyl hit the beat, which was the Nyan Cat theme's opening, and Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to sing:

Then time stopped and went back.

Sweetie Belle got upon the stage and began sweating as she looked on to the watchful eyes upon her shaky physique. She was ready to turn around and give up as her fear finally settled in and let her know that if she fucked this up, her life would be over.

This was Canterlot, not Ponyville. She was an Equestrian Idol now, just mere hours away from knowing whether or not she wins this challenge or not. She was sick of feeling this way. Sick of feeling like the world was on her shoulders. Sick of singing for these ponies who cared not even about her as much as they cared about her talent. As if she were some soldier to be used in a musical talent war. It just wasn't fair.

She looked to her friends, to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then, she looked to the space where Rarity would be if it weren't for her death a few months ago. Taken by Diamond Dogs and raped to death. They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on. Just like in the first audition, when she ran out initially out of fear, but Rarity pushed her back in.

Rarity was pushing her right now.

"Are you ready to begin, Sweetie Belle?" Lil Kim said, giving her a thumbs up.

Sweetie Belle sighed in relief and smiled, looking up with confidence to the night sky reaching above her and the setting sun in the distance. Celestia and Luna and Cadance were there as well. And so was Twilight, who was one of the judges, but was stuffing her face with pancakes.

Then time stopped and went back.

Sweetie Belle got upon the stage and began sweating as she looked on to the watchful eyes upon her shaky physique. She was ready to turn around and give up as her fear finally settled in and let her know that if she fucked this up, her life would be over.

This was Canterlot, not Ponyville. She was an Equestrian Idol now, just mere hours away from knowing whether or not she wins this challenge or not. She was sick of feeling this way. Sick of feeling like the world was on her shoulders. Sick of singing for these ponies who cared not even about her as much as they cared about her talent. As if she were some soldier to be used in a musical talent war. It just wasn't fair.

She looked to her friends, to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then, she looked to the space where Rarity would be if it weren't for her death a few months ago. Taken by Diamond Dogs and raped to death. They managed to find what was left of her and bury it in a gem mine, just as it said to do on her will. Sweetie Belle teared up and imagined Rarity right there, cheering her on. Just like in the first audition, when she ran out initially out of fear, but Rarity pushed her back in.

Rarity was pushing her right now.

"Are you ready to begin, Sweetie Belle?" Lil Kim said, giving her a thumbs up.

Sweetie Belle sighed in relief and smiled, looking up with confidence to the night sky reaching above her and the setting sun in the distance. Celestia and Luna and Cadance were there as well. And so was Twilight, who was one of the judges, but was stuffing her face with pancakes.

Vinyl hit the beat, which was the Nyan Cat theme's opening, and Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to sing:

That's when Sweetie Belle woke up. On the stage she had just temporarily fainted on. The ride never ends.
