The Last Concert Part 2

The mane 6 ponies were very concerned about what was going on with Neo, they knew Neo was hiding something, and they wanted to find out what he was hiding from them.

Right now Neo was performing on stage for a crowd of ponies at the carnival. Neo was wearing a green mohawk wig, blue jeans, a choker, wristbands with metal studs, ear piercings, earrings, and a motorcycle vest. He was performing Punk Rock music, the crowd watched him perform with amusement, they seemed to enjoy his music. After each song, the crowd cheered loudly for him.

When Neo finished his performance, he went to the lounge to cool off. He wiped sweat off his face with a tissue, after all, it takes a lot of hard work to be a musician.

Neo sat at a table and drank a beer as he cooled off. Neo did miss his friends in Ponyville, he wanted to go back to Ponyville, but he couldn't because of his secret he was hiding from the mane 6.

The mane 6 walked in the lounge, Neo wanted to know what they were doing in there, the lounge was only for employees. They said they got Ms. Jubilee to hire them to work as janitors while Neo was there.

Neo gave them a suspicious look, "What are you girls up to?"

"Well uh... We decided that we wanna work by your side as long as you are here," said Rarity.

"Okay then, just don't ask me any questions about Ponyville."

So the ponies swept and mopped the lounge. As they were cleaning, Rainbow Dash gave Twilight a sign with her eyes.

Twilight turned to Neo, "So Neo, how was Canterlot?"

Neo gave Twilight a suspicious look.

"Not talking about Ponyville, talking about Canterlot, totally different town. "

Neo rolled his eyes, "Canterlot was fine."

"Was the competition fun?"

"Yes,"

Neo looked and saw Twilight standing next to him, "Did you meet some nice ponies there?"

"Some."

Rainbow Dash flew over to Neo and asked him if she saw 2 famous pony singers there, to which Neo said he saw both of them. Rainbow Dash grinned at Neo and nodded her head. Neo just looked away, he seemed upset that she brought that up.

Then Rarity came over to Neo, "And how did you meet Ms. Jubilee?"

"Well she was selling cherries at the stadium, she watched me perform and she said she liked my music. So we just talked for a while, she had heard that I was the hero of Equestria and the only human of Equestria that had become so famous. She was happy to meet me, I told her I was looking for temporary work in singing and she got me the job here at this carnival."

"So you told her you were from Ponyville?" asked Twilight.

"Yes."

Did you tell her why you weren't coming back to Ponyville?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"No, that's none of her business."

"Is it because I made it rain on you that one time?"

"No Rainbow."

"Have we done something to make not wanna come back to Ponyville?" asked Twilight.

Neo started to get irritated, "No, listen, it's got nothing to do with you girls, but I'm not telling you why, so just get off my damn back."

They were surprised by his remark, then Neo got up and went out the door.

As the ponies were still cleaning, Twilight said, "Well, girls, we seem to be striking out."

"That's 'cause we're playing too nice," said Rainbow Dash.

"Yes, desperate times do call for desperate measures," said Rarity.

Rainbow Dash smirked, "It's time to use our secret weapon." She looked over at Pinkie Pie.

They were gonna have Pinkie Pie annoy Neo with a conversation so they will get him to talk. So the ponies decided to put their plan in motion.

Neo was over in an area of the carnival that was away from the crowd, practicing his next song.

Then Pinkie Pie appeared from behind Neo, she smiled at him and said, "Hiya Neo, whatcha doing?"

Neo looked at her, acknowledging her presence, "I'm rehearsing for my next performance."

"Ooohh, can I watch?"

"You promise not to ask me any questions?"

"I promise."

Neo kept rehearsing, but not even a minute later, Pinkie said, "Have you ever had a cherrychanga? Ooh, sorry, that was a question."

"That kind of question is fine, No, I haven't."

"Well, no wonder, because I made it up myself! A cherrychanga is mashed up cherries in a tortilla that's deep fried. Cherrychanga. Great name, huh? Oh, but maybe I should call it a chimicherry. Ooh, that's good too. Which do you think sounds better? Cherrychanga or chimicherry? Or what if I combine them? Chimicherrychanga! What sounds the funniest? I like funny words! One of my favorite funny words is 'kumquat'! I didn't make that one up. I would work in a kumquat orchard just so I could say 'kumquat' all day! Kumquat, kumquat, kumquat! And 'pickle barrel'! Isn't that just the funnest thing to say? Pickle barrel, pickle barrel, pickle barrel! Say it with me! Pickle barrel, kumquat, pickle barrel, kumquat, pickle barrel, kumquat, chimicherrychanga."

Neo was starting to get annoyed, so he turned his music up louder so he couldn't hear her. Pinkie tried to talk over it, but the music was too loud, then Neo walked off.

The mane 6 came over to Pinkie Pie and asked what happened, Pinkie said Neo had his music up so loud so her annoying conversations didn't work, so they had to think of another way to make Neo tell them the truth.

Neo walked around the carnival, he went to take a ride on the Ferris wheel.

As he rode the Ferris wheel, Rainbow Dash hovered over his cart. She rocked his cart, which annoyed him. Neo told her to stop, but she said she'll keep rocking his cart until he agrees to tell them the truth.

Neo got so annoyed, he threatened to hit her with a beer bottle if she didn't stop. Rainbow Dash backed off and flew away. Then Neo got off the Ferris wheel.

Neo walked around the carnival grounds, but everywhere he went, one of the mane 6 showed up. He tried to ignore them, but they kept following him.

Neo ran around the carnival, trying to get away but they kept following him.

Then they all cornered him at a dead end, he got annoyed and said, "Girls, leave me alone, stop harassing me."

"Neo, we're not harassing you." said Twilight. "We're trying to understand what you are hiding from us."

"Neo, please tell us the truth," said Rarity.

All the girls kept saying please to him with sad faces.

"Alright, I'll tell everypony what's going on, just stop it with the sad eyes. But can it wait until tomorrow morning, all this performing and running around has really worn me out."

"Tomorrow huh?" said Rainbow Dash. "I don't know,"

"Do you Pinkie promise?" asked Pinkie Pie.

Neo sighed, "I will tell you the everything when I see you tomorrow morning, Pinkie promise."

Neo stuck out his pinkie finger, the ponies didn't know what he was doing.

"What are you doing?" Pinkie asked with a confused look.

"This is how humans do a Pinkie Promise, our small fingers are called a pinkie finger. When we make a pinkie promise, we put our pinkie's together."

The ponies learned something new about humans, Pinkie showed Neo how ponies do a pinkie promise, but she accepted his pinkie promise the way he did it.

So Neo made a pinkie promise that he had to tell them the truth about what's going on in the morning. He seemed depressed about it, but the ponies really wanted to know what was going on.

So the ponies were expecting to see Neo first thing tomorrow morning and finally get some answers about what's going on with him. And to Pinkie Pie, nopony ever breaks a pinkie promise.
