This chapter is a little shorter, sorry. Still hope you guys will like it.
Spark's opened his eyes; Rockin was standing a few feet away from with a bucket of water, ready to splash him awake if need be. They were in their dressing room in Manehatten and, if the clock above the door was accurate, they still had 10 minutes before their concert started. He looked at his friend and noticed that he was shaking. Was it from the excitement, fear or was the room too cold Sparks didn't ask; He just managed to calm himself down so he didn't need another dose of cold hooves.
"Calm down Rock, I'm up. Save your energy for the crowd." Sparks replied quickly to his partner. Rockin lowered the bucket and smiled mischievously. "Good. Can't go among all those mares without my get-away- Pegasus." Sparks laughed before replying. "Just drop the shades. You'll become invisible without them." The two friends laughed and joked until they were called on the stage. Calm and cool, they jumped out in front of the cheering crowd of ponies.
Rockin pranced around the stage, showing off his Cutie mark, a large volcano with headphones, before he got behind his turntable and popped in the first record. The music started blasting from the speakers as Sparks flew around the crowd, encouraging them to cheer louder. He landed at the centre of the stage and showed off his Cutie mark, a dark tape-recorder that proved he was a musician like his parents. As if on cue Rockin toned the music down a bit, set the fireworks; and as the night sky got filled with colorful explosions Sparks began to sing.
Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
the kind of feeling I've waited so long
Don't stop, come a little closer
As we jam the rhythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little, little fun
We were dancing all night long
The time is right
To put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone
Oh, I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true
Oh, I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true
Why don't you play the game?
Why don't you play the game?
The crowd went silent for a moment; and then started to applaud wildly. Sparks gave a quick nod to Rockin and they began with their next song. Sparks sang every song he knew while flying around; Rockin changed record after record and set the appropriate fireworks display to enchant the crowd. The concert went on for two hours; and an hour more because of popular demand. Rockin's sweat covered the table, his dark and light green mane was a mess, he could barley light up his horn, much less the remaining fireworks; even his shades were slipping off his snout. Sparks wasn't better off either: his throat was killing him, he was out of songs and ideas; he could barely hover in the air, curtsey of dodging and flying around active fireworks.
They exchanged a worried look; this was the end of their first concert but they had nothing memorable to end it with. Sparks approached his friend and whispered to his ear. "I'm out of ideas, you?" Rockin looked around before answering "We could ask somepony in the crowd…" Sparks nodded and went towards the edge of the stage. All eyes were focused on him, some ponies shouted words of encouragement or wonder to the sudden silence. He spoke into the mike "Alright everypony, this is the last song of the evening. And that song is…" but he stopped when he saw a familiar Pegasus in the front row. The stallion had a light blue fur, his right eye was covered by a long black and blue mane but his left dark blue eye shined with love and pride. It was Knife Punk; his father managed to return from his concert in Crystal Empire to see him perform.
And then Sparks realized what the last song should be.. "This is the song for the ponies that will always love us no matter what or where we are." Rockin blinked in surprise; that was the song they wrote for their mothers as a surprise when they got home. He raised his hoof in protest, but before he managed to say something Sparks gave him an apologetic look and started singing. Rockin sighed and fixed his shades after he adjusted the turntable's settings to play a slow, peaceful tune; Sparks knew that he won't hear the end of it later but it was too late to pull back.
Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times gone by seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home
Took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
You made me cry, you told me lies
But, I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home
Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before a fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all
I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
I've seen your face a thousand times
Every day we've been apart
And I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Music used:
Daft Punk: Digital love
Ozzy Osbourne: Mama, I'm coming home
