The next day, Ponyville was acting as normal as it always has been. Griffy was showing some sort of sheet of paper that had musical notes on it to the Cutie Mark Crusaders in front of his Tree in the park.
"Okay, here's how this is going to work", he said to them, "The older Ponies will become so attracted by your performance that you may get tips from them to get your Flank Symbols..I mean, uuuuuhhh Cutie Marks"
"Aren't ya'll gonna help us out?", asked Apple Bloom, blinking her adorable eyes to persuade Griffy. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle did the same thing in persuasion, adding more cuteness.
"I would", replied Griffy, slightly groaning from the three foals' cuteness getting to him, "But today's the day I do my part time janitorial job at the spa, Lotus and Aloe are waiting for my assistance". And he flew away for the spa, leaving only the sheet for the song he was showing the CMC in front of them.
"Well maybe we should try out the song idea", said Sweetie Belle, telekinizing the sheet.
"I say we start rehearsing now!", said Scootaloo with an eager voice.

A few minutes later, the Cutie Mark Crusaders had practiced the song and were ready to sing it, with a few adult Ponies just passing by, giving only slight glances. They all jumped up on top of a boulder with a flat top and were about to sing when suddenly, William the "actual" Unicorn was walking up from behind, curious about this young musical number.
"What's going here, Ponies?", asked William, accidentally startling the Cutie Mark Crusaders, causing them to fall head first into the Blueberry Bush that was in front of the boulder they were just on.
"Whoops! Uh, sorry!", said William, hoping they were not hurt, "I just heard some of your singing while I was visiting Ponyville just now. Now I'm really just here to know what the sugar-frosted bread called "cake" tastes like"
The three fillies poked their head out of the bush, stained in Blueberry juice. "Are you saying that you've never heard of cake before, Mr. William?", asked Sweetie Belle.
"Well I've been born and raised in the Everfree Forest", replied the Unicorn, patting his long, bony, Rat-like tail on the ground.
"Well tahme that you had a sample of Apple-flavored cake at mah place, raght now!", said Apple Bloom happily.
"What exactly are you?", asked Scootaloo, still so confused at the tall-horned, Equine-like Creature with long ears and hoof-like toes she was staring at, "You say you're a Unicorn, but you look nothing like Sweetie Belle and the rest of her race of Pony"
"Because my species is what Unicorn Ponies resemble", replied William, a little annoyed, "We are closely related to Equines though, including Rhinos and Tapirs. Now can you young Pony Horses direct me to the kak now...I mean cake"

Meanwhile, at the Ponyville spa, Griffy was moping the floor, but looked a little cranky as he snacked from the convenient snack trays of Daisies.
"Oh viingizui", he grumbled outloud, "I don't know if I can stand this stuff anymore"
Lotus and Aloe suddenly heard him mumble his complaint and quickly zoomed straight towards him, hoping to fix the problem.
"Ees there something wrong weeth the food meester Masterton?", asked Lotus.
"We sensed you onhoppy", added Aloe.
"You call all this food? No offense", replied Griffy, "Just look at these snacks, roasted Daises, Tomato jelly, it's all for herbivores! I'm surrounded mostly by herbivores all day, mainly you Ponies. I need some meat"
That's when the clock struck 11:30 AM, meaning it was break time. Griffy then knew that he could go and find some smaller Animals to eat now. As he foraged in the park for Ants and Acorns to eat, Griffy could not help but notice that something else seemed incomplete.
"I feel full from that Ant and Acorn lunch", he said in his thoughts, "But what is this other feeling I am getting? Is it guilt from seemingly hurting the spa twins' feelings?"
He then turned his head to see his Maple Tree home, he then got an idea and rushed inside his home to get something.
Back at the spa, Lotus and Aloe were worried for how they were going to please any other omnivorous or carnivorous species that might stop by their spa.
"What shall we do Aloe?", asked Lotus.
"I am not sure Lotus", replied Aloe, "I beelieve that we may have scared our best janitor, yah"
"Excuse me, ladies", said the familiar voice of Griffy at the door, "But I have something that may cheer you two up"
But just as he walked further into the spa, the two sisters rushed to him and both hugged him hard, happy that he had not quit his part-time job.
"May I please continued", he asked as the two Ponies let him go. He then got out his flute that he made in his Tree a while back to remind him of his home back in Gabbagon and started to play it. Lotus and Aloe were relaxed by the flute's soothing melodies as Griffy played it while flying above their heads.
"That is a little taste of Gabbagon", Griffy said as soon as he finished playing.
"That may be another addition to the spa, yah!", said Lotus, "It is simply luxurious"
"Indeed", added Aloe, "You con play the flute while cleaning to entertain the customers, wheneva you want"
"It's a deal", said Griffy with a smile.
