i do not own any of the songs in this story at all unless i say otherwise, considering i play the guitar and hve posted a few of my songs on facebook i will let you know if those are mine or not.
I stood behind the stage. Worry filling my body as I wished I killed him instead of allowing this to happen. My fear of singing made me develop stage fright. Humans were everywhere along with a few ponies here and there. I could spot Vinyl, Octavia. And even Twilight/ was Twilight standing with the other princesses?
Great, I'm going to be singing for royalty... if I wasn't already about to break then I was now. Although before I could I jumped slightly at the hand on my shoulder. There stood Carl as he smiled at me. "you know you can do it Alex... all we got to do is one concert then you don't have to worry about singing ever again. We already have the different instruments all set out and unicorns are ready to swap them out when the time comes to change them. You know the 3 songs right?" I nodded. "great! I'll go get the others... it's about time to start anyway..." he ran off as I looked out over the crowd. A sudden feeling that something bad was going to happen...
I shook my head of the thoughts as Carl ran back over. " let's begin, shall we? What song first?" I looked at him with worry before taking a deep breath and looking at him with determination.
"Love me like you do..." he gave a wide smile as he nodded. He looked towards the other two as headsets were put on their heads with magic as we were pushed onto the stage.
The other three waved at the crowd as I pulled off my hood and I could see some looks of recognition as I stood at the front mike. "good evening everyone!" Carl yelled as all the humans yelled out while the ponies were confused on what to do. "to all the mares and stallions out there who don't know what to do! Just look at the humans around you to see what is appropriate or just follow what you think is best!"
I took deep breaths as I remembered Grandma's teachings...
don't let it control you...
your voice is powerful. To let it control you would mean the end of you and those around you.
Visualize what you want! Simplicity is your ally!
I opened my eyes. "so let's get started with a popular song from where we are from! Love Me Like You Do! Rock Version!" Carl started playing as I immediately began to sing.
As the song happens each section happens at the same time as the written paragraph after it.
You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much
So much
the humans everywhere began to slowly move to the music. Carl was smiling as were our other two friends.
You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
Then You can see the world you brought to life, to life
two more began to sing next to me as I realized it was copies of myself singing. I smiled as I could barely see waves of blue leave myself and my two copies. My friends were all stunned at what was happening but they soon shrugged and smiled as they continued to play.
So love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch touch touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
I sang by myself with my eyes looking over the entire crowd. I began to sway to the coming rhythm.
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
I began to sing as I felt something growing inside of me. I thought nothing of it as I continued to sing.
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
I could feel the feeling slowly move out of my throat as the blues waves became more visible to me. No one else looked at them weirdly so I figured only I could see them at the moment. I could also see small hearts forming in between ponies and humans. I smiled as I figured out what they were for.
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch touch touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch touch touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
The hearts began to fly straight into the sky as they exploded one by one. Creating a small animation of a memory between the ponies and humans of a happy memory... these were couples memories. I smiled as the third line of the first part of the chorus hit and I moved my right hand down my body instinctively. More hearts flew into the air for the second part to create more animations
I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
I looked into the crowd and found them all dancing with a few ponies reluctant but quickly came into the music as I sung the final line. The small pause occurred as I threw the microphone into the air as it turned into a headset and landed on my head as I spun around.
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch touch touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Love me like you do, love love love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch touch touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
I began to sing the final chorus with glee in my heart. Singing again made me happy. I was still fearful that my powers would go out of control and I was used to being a mute now. I sang the final line as all sound coming from us stopped.
I caught the microphone as it turned back from a headset when the music stopped as the applause began. "well then! When Alex over here said strange things would happen! I never expected that!" he yelled out to the applauding audience. "makes me almost wish he wasn't staying a mute after this? But who can stop this stubborn fool." some of the audience began to laugh. "so! What next Alex?"
"Sunday... Les Friction..." he gave an evil smile.
"another fine song was given to us by our awesome singer!"
She always wakes up late on Sunday
I began to sing once more as that feeling inside of me built up. Much quicker this time as I felt a small scratch in my throat.
She pours her coffee in a paper cup
She heads down to the corner where a man sells roses for a euro
I paid no mind to it as I fell into the rhythm and continued to sing.
She wonders if she'll ever find him
She wonders if she'll ever fall in love
Maybe she's right there behind him now
I could see what appeared to be thought bubbles above several mares and girls all around the area.
Then all the church bells start to ring
And all the birds begin to sing
If no one stops me now I'll get through somehow
And we will live like every day is Sunday
large golden bells rang throughout the area as the humans and ponies looked up into the sky as we saw the meetings of the couples from the female's point of view.
I believe that she'll take notice
She'll turn around when she can feel me near
As if to say she's been alone her whole life
more meetings popped up in the air as I could hear instruments then we did people. I turned and saw that there were instruments playing like an invisible person was playing them. I rolled my eyes at Carl's smile.
Then all the church bells start to ring
And all the birds begin to sing
If no one stops me now I'll get through somehow
And we will live like every day is Sunday
the golden bells reappeared before they were soon replaced with birds this time. I smiled as the couples once again danced with one another. The final chorus and the final line soon approaching as I spun around and copies of myself took over my friend's instruments for a few moments.
Then all the church bells start to ring
And all the birds begin to sing
If no one stops me now I'll get through somehow
And we will live like every day is Sunday
they came forward and danced with me as the final chorus went through with the bells, birds, as well as more meetings appearing overhead. As the final line came near they quickly ran back to their instruments and began to play them again while my copies disappeared into a blue mist.
I want to live
the ponies and humans everywhere began to jump around with joy as I gave a small smile. My throat was itching greatly as I coughed a little into my hand looking over the cheering crowds. "that was another great song by our once awesome singer Alex Dewain everybody!" Carl yelled into his mic as the crowd cheered loudly. "what will be the last song you decide to sing for us, Alex?"
"let's do... Bring it Home by The Wanted." I stated as he nodded.
"let's do this!" Carl yelled out in glee.
We are we are we are we are
The only ones that can bring it
Bring it home we are we are we
Are we are the only ones
the feeling reappeared in my body as I began to sing once more. My throats itching starting to become irritating as I hoped I would be able to hold it together. Copies of me appeared around me as they sang during the songs cues. Erasing any need for my friends to have to focus on singing and playing.
This is an invasion the unwanted
Kind I'm all about domination that's
My state of mind I'm gonna build an
Empire so what's yours is mine we're
Gonna take it home tonight oh oh-oh
flags with our old band's symbol began to appear around the crowd. A picture of the mythical Sirens hence the name The Sirens.
(don't know if there is a band out there with the name but I'm using it at the moment)
Let's make this one to remember we're
Blowing up the sky like the 5th of
November we don't stop 'cause we're impatient
The anticipation is pumpin' pumpin' pumpin'
fireworks
launched into the sky on the second line of the song before pumps appeared underneath the flags as they pumped with every word I sang.
Carry the light from the fire I can
See it burning in your eyes do or
Die we're crossing the light
There's no where left to hide
lights from fires began to burn at the tops of the flags as my visioned changed slightly for a second during the song.
Tell me what you're waiting for
What you're living for
We're bringing it home oh oh oh
No one's left behind you're not alone
nothing occurred while I and my copies jumped and danced around on the stage. The 7 of us moving to different areas on the stage as we jumped to the beat.
'Cause we are we are we are we are the
Only ones that can bring it bring it
Home we are we are we are we are the
Only ones
we stopped jumping and and threw our one arms in the air for the first line of the song before doing it again during the third line of the song.
When I'm gone will you miss me? We'll
Find out in time I'm gonna go down
In history as the one who changed your
Mind they said that I'm dangerous so
What's yours is mine we're gonna take
It home tonight oh oh oh
I began to move separately from my copies as a gun appeared in my hand for a second before dispersing into blue sparkles. I threw my arm out towards the crowd and pulled it in during the fifth line of the song before I began to jump around with my copies again.
Lets make this one to remember we're
Blowing up the sky like the 5th of
November we don't stop 'cause we're
Impatient the anticipation is
Pumpin' pumpin' pumpin'
the pumps exploded as fireworks began to fly into the air as me and my copies pumped our arms in sync as I looked at the crowd enjoying the music.
Carry the light from the fire
I can see it burning in your eyes
Do or die we're crossing the line
There's no where left to hide
a torch appeared in my free hand as I held it up to the sky. Before throwing it up as it exploded into a sun and disappeared.
Tell me what you're waiting for
What you're living for we're
Bringing it home oh oh oh
No one's left behind you're not alone
I began to speak towards the crowd as I moved out of sync from my copies before quickly moving back into sync with them. I could see Vinyl enjoying the final song as I set my eyes on them for a few minutes and I could notice Octavia tapping her hoof to the beat.
'Cause we are we are we are we are
The only ones that can bring it
Bring it home we are we are we are
We are the only ones that can bring
It bring it home
I began to jump up and down with my copies as they joined me on the front of the stage once more before they began to dance around me as I moved on my own.
Right here where you're meant to be
I'm gonna get my hands on you
Officially I swear life's a bitch
And mine's called victory
That's why I always come first
Literally there ain't another like
Your kind all eyes on the prize
But you're mine never give up
On something you can't go a day without
Thinking about
I looked at everybody I could remember from my school as I could see them enjoying themselves... but I could also notice disgust in their eyes towards me. I frowned a little bit but ignored it for now as I kept singing.
Just carry the light from the fire
I can see it burning in your eyes
Do or die we're crossing the line
There's no where left to hide
the flags burst into flames and disappeared as the entire stage erupted into light during the final line as a glow could be seen all around the stage. A glow of white as I stared over the crowd.
Tell me what you're waiting for
What you're living for we're
Bringing it home oh oh oh
No one's left behind your not alone
my copies stood in a line with me as they danced and I crouched down at the crowd before jumping to my feet for the final few lines of the song as I joined my copies in dancing.
'Cause we are we are we are we are
The only ones that can bring it
Bring it home we are we are we are
We are the only ones that can bring
It bring it home
the glow of the stage long since disappeared as my copies disappeared with every line that was sung until it was just me in the final pose.
Applause rang out as my throat was in pain. I held it over my gem as I coughed into my right hand again as that alleviated the pain a little bit. "man that was good! Another round of applause for our singer everybody!" the applause began once more as I chuckled at Carl's antics.
"let's continue the show already Carl! We promised them an all-nighter!" Joseph yelled as I rolled my eyes at him as I quickly jogged off the stage and to the back. I handed the microphone I was holding to a pony as I looked at the stage where my friends began to play another song.
I brought my hand up to cough again as I looked at my hand... and froze...
blood covered my entire hand...
