The cricket's chirping and the owl that howls at night was interrupted when the front door of the Gold's Mansion swung open. The glowing light from inside shown onto the cold marble steps as Bright stepped out and looked around the early morning air, once again in her housecoat. She may be a teenager. But this lifestyle required some things to be taken with a very mature firm hoof.

She raised a hoof to her mouth and yawned. Then smacked her lips and made her way for the front of the gate. She had to go and grab the paper. Along the way, she thought about the new label. Color Flash. They needed new artists, but they all can't be EDM. Too much EDM turns ponies off, which means a loss of bits. They needed singers, songwriters, even some Orchestral. As long as Celestia lives there was going to be a lot of those ponies out there that could make that type of music. And tonight, she was going to find them. But first...

Bright opened the gate and picked up the newspaper. On the front page, the premiering of the new Daring Do movie tomorrow night in the Crystal Empire. She really wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Rumor around the neighborhood was that somepony was going to get an award off of it. Bright shrugged and made her way back onto the property. The gates began to automatically shut while she used her wings to look through the paper. There it is. What she was looking for. Two out of the three words in the Gossip Gallery article. Magenta Streak... Dating?!! Bright stopped walking while the gate shut back and eyed the photo as much as she could in the dark. Was that... Bright tucked the paper underneath her wing and soared back to the mansion as fast as she could. Not exactly Rainbow Dash speed, but the coat rack in the foyer fell from the wind. She shut the door back and looked at the article once again in the light. Yep, it was Magenta with a gorgeous smile aimed at... Babs Seed?! Bright's eyes widened and trained on Babs. She was wearing makeup. Bright goes to school with mares who do the same thing, it's easy to pinpoint where the strokes were. Babs wearing makeup and Magenta smiling and laughing with YouHoof in the back implies a few things.

But the main implication was in big bold letters at the very top: Potential Love for the Famous Singer? "Holy buck," Bright whispered. This may spell a little bit of trouble for Magenta and their plans. They had to clean this up somehow before tonight. Or at least plant a bomb to blow it out of proportion on its own. And she knew just who to talk to get ponies to not stress out about it. She wasn't doing anything today. And neither was Bright. Until tonight.

Bright folded up the newspaper and made her way for the stairs. She had to make a very important call. Dad was up getting ready for work. Mom didn't work on the weekends so she and Magenta were asleep. Mornings like these were what he called father-daughter time. When Bright and Max would just bond over random things they both enjoyed. Well today, they were going to bond over the juicy gossip of Magenta possibly having a suitor. When she walked into the living room, Max was currently making a quick breakfast. Some cereal and other stuff so he didn't have to cook.

He locked eyes on Bright's suspicious smirk when she stopped on the other side of the island he was sitting at, planting a smirk of his own directed at her. He drawled, "What are we smiling for?"

Bright shook her head and decided to let the paper answer for her. She took it out from underneath her wing and dropped it beside his bowl of cereal. Then pointed at the article. He glanced at it for a moment then nearly spit out his cereal. He dropped his spoon into the ceramic bowl and picked up the newspaper to get a closer look. Without taking his eyes off, he whispered, "Are you serious? Isn't this going to mess up a few things for you guys?"

Bright nodded and answered, "I have it all handled. I know a few ponies who can clear this up as fast as I can walk."

"Yeah you almost ran me over yesterday just by going to the bathroom." Bright grabbed the paper and playfully hit him on the muzzle. He laughed and asked, "But seriously, what are you going to do?"

"Get in contact with Carolid. She's not doing anything today anyway. Magenta doesn't know me and her talk more than anypony we ever spoke to. I talk to her almost as much as I talk to big sis."

"Shooting a vlog about it?" Max picked his spoon back up and continued with his breakfast.

"Shooting a live vlog about it. I'm sure she knows about the rumor by now. and if she doesn't, she will by the time Maggy wakes up. So I'll beat her to the punch." Bright winked and made her way back up the stairs. She needed to get her hoof on a phone. Like right now.

CEO Gold Spoon. The mare with the bits. She didn't live in Manehattan. Instead preferred to spend her work and home life completely away from each other. She lived on an expensive ranch way in Appleloosa and took the train all the way to her Label. A lot of ponies knew her in Appleloosa. Not many in Manehattan, even if she was the founder and owner of Starfire that was located in Manehattan. But news and words still travel. Even all the way to Appleloosa. The newspaper reached all the way to her private ranch and she encountered it when she was walking to her own private chariot to the train station way into town. Her pristine silver and violet mane and tail shimmered in the sunlight while her silver sunglasses reflected off the heat. But in this temperature, she smiled at the gossip. Magenta Streak and some random pony. A relationship, huh? Interesting.

Those bits would be flowing into her hooves as quick as eating a chocolate pie with this bit of news. This may affect some of Magenta's sales with the fact that she was a lesbian. Some ponies may even force her to come out about it by boycotting her music out of her control. And she would come straight back to them. Starfire. And finally drop YouHoof. With that pleasant thought in mind, Gold Spoon adjusted her sunglasses and made her way for her chariot. She had to get to the office.

Just a basic interlude. What do you think is going to happen next? New upload going on my YouTube Channel as well @ 5PM EST. Not my best work, but I'll do better next time. It's my second time making Progressive House.
