Chapter 10: Elegant and Beautiful Music
In the music room, Alice, Sunset, and their friends are practicing their instruments and testing out their new transformation. Sunset agrees to be part of the band practice, but she still unsure about being in the band for the competition yet. Since Alice and the others, especially Max, cares about her, they decide to not push it too much.
Right now, they are on their break and are making sure they instruments and equipments are all set.
Joseph says, "Okay guys, we have another week before the competition. We're doing good so far, but we could still use the practice."
"I know and we'll be ready for it," Alice says with with a smile.
"Sunset, are you sure you don't want to be in the competition with us," Max asks while sitting next to Sunset.
Sunset turns to Max and answers, "I'm sure. I maybe be doing the practice, but I'm not ready to be in the competition just yet."
Max and the others can tell that she still having some time getting used to being in thes world and worried that some of the students will make her feel uncomfortable..
Max shows a calm smile towards Sunset and says, "Don't worry Sunset, you'll have your chance someday and before you know it you will be able to play in front of everyone."
Sunset gives Max a sweet smile and says, "Thanks Max."
After feeling grateful, Sunset simply leans over to Max shoulder feeling glad to be with him. Max feels surprised about Sunset leaning at him at first, but can see that she really trust him. Max then puts his arm around Sunset so he can give her a hug.
Alice, Joseph, Jerry, and Amy are glad that Sunset is feeling better and find someone that will make her happy. They are still kind of surprised that Sunset and Max develop feeling for each other and it seems their love is growing strong.
Jerry says, "I'm still can't over the fact that Max and Sunset like each other."
"Well, I'm just glad that Max was able to ask Sunset out To the dance," Alice says with a smile.
"I think it's romantic," Amy says feeling happy for the two upcoming couple.
"Clarissa also picked the perfect costumes and dress for Sunset and Max to wear," Jerry adds to the comment.
Joseph looks around the room and notice that someone is missing from their band and group of friends.
Joseph questionably asks, "Speaking of dresses, where's Clarissa?"
Everyone looks around the room and can see that Clarissa, their fashionista friend is not in the band room. In fact, they can see she isn't yet. They are starting to wonder where she's at right now.
"You're right, it's not like her to be late for anything," Alice replies sounding concern.
"Maybe she's having a hard time getting her instrument," Sunset suggests.
"Well she does, try to get that piano of her's to practice, but can't seem to take it with her everywhere she goes," Jerry replies.
"Where could she be?" Joseph asks.
Right now, they are trying to figure out where Clariss is and are wondering why she s late.
Meanwhile:
Clarissa is at the front yard of the school and with her grand piano no less. She love playing her piano and even though it's big, it has wheels so she can push is anywhere she pleases. However, pushing the piano from her house is exhausting. Her hair has become a bit frizzy and a bit while.
As she push the piano, she says, "Come on Clarissa, you must get this piano to band practice."
Then then pushes the piano towards the front door, but now she has a big problem. The doors are a few floor steps away and she's not strong enough."Why don't these people put a giant ramp I can get this to the band room."
Clarissa tries to carry the piano to the door entrance, but the grand piano is too heavy for her to carry.
Clarissa sighs in defeat and says, "Oh, just look at me. I'm a mess."
She then dusts off her clothes since it must have gotten dirty for pushing the piano to the school.
Clarissa looks around as she says,"What I need is some more muscle?"
Clarissa then notice three senior students at the front of the school. She knows them to be in the football team and they are very strong. Clarissa thinks she can use her help to take the piano to the band room
"Oh boys!" Clarissa calls out.
The three boys hear Clarissa calling them and look at her. Clarissa then adjust herself she will be her beautiful and proper self. It doesn't take long for the boys to go crazy all over her and will do what she asked. Like Jessica, a lot of students like Clarissa because she is very beautiful.
A few minutes later, the boys are carrying the piano through the hallways and Clarissa is on to of the piano relaxing and feels like she's on top of the world.
"I really do appreciate the help. And even though I maybe he a bit uncomfortable by your man smell, I can tell you are very masculine," Clarissa says as she is being carried on the top of the piano by the three players.
The boys simply nod their head in replies and are glad for the complement. Just then they stop to see a crowd of students in their way. With that, the boys then force their way through the student to get to Clarissa's destination. The students moves out of the way and being shoved by the piano coming their way.
As they go through the crowd Clarissa politely calls out, "Excuse me! Pardon my! Than you!"
Back in the band room:
The group of friends are waiting for Clarissa to show up. Alice, Amy and Sunset ask around the school to see if they seen her but so far no luck. Max and Jerry try to call her, but she hasn't answer her phone at all. Joseph is getting very impatient of why Clarissa isn't her for their practice.
"Urh! Where is Clarissa?" Joseph asks sounding impatient and annoyed.
"How much you want to bet she's going to make some kind of grand entrance or something?" Max says with annoyance.
Just then the doors slams open and the grand piano has been pushed in the room by the football boys with Clarissa on it.
Clarissa cheerfully screams, "Tada!"
Max mutters, "I knew it."
"Clarissa, couldn't you use a more portable instrument," Joseph asks as Clarissa come down from the piano with help from one of the football player's help.
"Hevans no. I already told you, the grand piano is the most elegant of instruments. This way, I will be able to express my full music cality," Clarissa says with pride.
She's about to play the piano until the alarm from a timer comes off and makes a very loud ring.
Joseph picks up his guitar and says,"I guess our time is up. We better more our practice to the gym,"
"Guess you're going to express your full music cality clear across campus," Max says to Clarissa with a smirk on his face.
Clarissa surprisingly says, "What?! Oh no!"
Amy decides to come to Clarissa and says, "Don't worry Clarissa, I'm sure you'll find an instrument that is elegant and portable."
Then Jerry comes up and says,"I think I know just the thing."
Then then grabs a guitar case and pulls out a guitar with keys on it. Clarissa becomes interested by the strange guitar and thinks it like impressing.
"What's that?" Clarissa asks.
"It's a keytar. It a keyboard or piano that looks like a guitar," Jerry answers with a smile.
"Where did you got that Jerry?" Sunset asks.
"I had this for a while, but I don't play it anymore," Jerry answers.
He then hands the keytar to Clarissa and asks, "What do you say Clarissa, want to give it a try?"
Clarissa looks at the keytar and thinks it will be an interesting instrument for her to play.
Clarissa answers, "I'll try it out and see what I think."
Everyone is glad that Clarissa is going to give the keytar a try and see if she likes it.
"Cool," Jospeh says.
"Go for it girl," Alice cheers.
After receiving the keytar. Clarissa puts it on and adjust it so she can play it. She then press on the key of the keytar and it sounds interesting.
"Oh! Oh my!" Clarissa says sounding very impressed by the sound of the instrument.
In fact, Clarissa is so impressed that she starts to really play the keytar. Just then as she play the instrument, Clarissa starts to glow purple and starts to be lift into the air. The friends start to see that she is unleashing her magic too and start to transform. Clarissa skin turns white and her gains her pony ears and her hair extends into a ponytail. After the finish of sliding on the piano, Clarissa receives applause from her friends and the three football players.
"That was awesome," Jospeh says with excitement.
"And elegant at the same time," Amy says happily.
"Thank you. Thank you," Clarissa says while bowing from the applause.
She then turns to Jerry and gratefully says, "Thank you for the keytar, Jerry."
"No problem," Jerry says happily.=]\
Then Joseph says, "Now that is settled, how about you move your tail to our next rehearsal space?"
"Fine. Fine," Clarissa says in reply.
She then turns to the football players and says, "I don't suppose…"
Within a flash, the three football players starts to carry the piano with Clarissa on it. Alice and the others stare at Clarissa being carried on the piano and are kind of confused. Clarris then play the keys on the keytar as they leave. After Clarissa and the football boys are gone. Sunset, Alice, and the others are kind of confused about Clarissa. There is one thing they do know, Clarissa is almost like a second Rarity.
"That's Clarissa for you," Alice mutters to her friends.
"You can say that again," Joseph replies agreeing to Alice's remark.
After their confused and stillness, The leave with Clarissa to go to the gym for their next band session. And of course, Clarissa is definitely going to spread her full music calady across their whole school.
