 There was music in the park! In the afternoon glow, Banshee was attracted to the voice like a moth to the flame. She practically pranced across the grass. Whoever was singing so wonderfully would surely let her join in. She liked to think she was pretty good herself. Her dad always closed his eyes and held his head in rapture whenever she joined in on one of his lullabies. The eager filly nearly fell over herself in her eagerness to discover where song was coming from.

That lovely voice that Banshee was hearing was coming from a simple wooden stage constructed on the westernmost park of the park. It wasn't the mainstage; that was for phonies like TACO to perform for mass crowds. No, this one was half the size with half the room, but it was all Crooner needed to woo the world.
The flutter pony stood in the middle of the stage, microphone stand in hoof as he sang "Fly Me to the Moon", a classic song that often won over the crowd more often than not. The speaker phony was at the table, adjusting levels and listening through headphones to make sure he sounded perfect.
His pink wings shimmered in the spotlight as he finished his sound check, letting the microphone stand wobble upright again, much to the dislike of the equipment guy.
"How's that soundin' boss?" he said through the microphone. His jellyfish Smooch floated nearby in a kiddie pool blown up just for him.

The stage came into view first and Banshee continued her headlong rush towards it, getting faster and faster. Then she saw him, the magnificent singer in all his glory, and she was glad he’d stopped singing because now she could join in and it was would be amazing. Her head was full of such wonderful thoughts and at no point did she slow down. Not until she ran straight into the wooden stage and knocked herself out.

Crooner felt the stage wriggle as a loud WHUMPH echoed beneath him. He buzzed to the edge of the stage to see just what the heck was going on, and who would interrupt his sound check.
He saw below him a filly knocked out cold.
"Woah woah cat!" he said, fluttering down to the kid. "Hey there kid, you alright? C'mon, up and at em yeah?" He lifted her head, poking her in the nose. 'I don't wanna haveta get an ambulance out her ya dig?"

Banshee came back to the world in stages. First there was a wonderful voice and then there was the feeling of a blade of grass tickling her nose and then her head went ‘HEY YOU JUST RAN ME INTO SOMETHING HARD’. “OUCH,” Banshee said as she abruptly sat upright.

"Hey hey, don't sit up so fast kid!" Crooner said, jumping back as she jumped up. "You might have some brain damage!" He certainly didn't mean to insult, but it sure sounded like one.

Banshee blinked once, twice and then- "I wanna sing you with!" It probably did look like she had brain damage with the goofy grin on her face.

Now it was Crooner's turn to blink. Who was this kid?
"You want...to sing.....with me?" His wings buzzed as he began to laugh. "C'mon, you can't be serious?

He was laughing but that was okay because she laughed as well and stood up on slightly wobbly legs. "Of course I'm serious! You're really good and I wanna sing too!"

Crooner's laugh subsided to a chuckle.
"You know what kid? I like you. Get up there." he nodded his head toward the stage. "You can sing one song with me alright?" He fluttered his way back onto the stage and shouted something to the microphone phony, who shook his head angrily. Crooner simply waved him away, lowering the microphone stand.

"I like you too!" Banshee grinned and eagerly followed him onto the stage, though she did it with a lot less grace, clambering up instead of simply walking over to the stairs. But once she was there, it was perfect and she stood right next to Crooner. "My dad says I sing so well that I'm not allowed to do it in the house anymore."

Oh good lord...
Crooner nodded for the band to play the same song as before, and gave Banshee the mic.
"Alright, let's see just why your dad said that shall we?"

She swayed with the music and looked up towards Crooner, waiting for him to start singing so she could join in and together they would sing the most beautiful song.

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling kiss me.
He looked to Banshee, waiting for her to take over the verse.

Banshee took a deep breath and sung. In her head, she knew the words and they came out perfectly. In reality, it was more of an unholy screech, the battle call of the Valkyries, the death cry of wounded beast. "Aaaaaayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhaaahhh!" Banshee sang.
