The song was flowing, the words were boppin' along...
And then she started shouting.
Or what he assumed was shouting. He jumped, and stared at Banshee with comically huge eyes.
The band skidded to a halt, and soon, everyone was staring at the filly.

She continued 'singing' until it became clear that she was going at it alone. Her voice slowly came down from a full on screech to a softer wail and then stopped entirely. Banshee turned on the spot to take in everyone watching her. "Was I that good?"

There was total silence while her question hung in the air.
Crooner couldn't take it.
It started as a quiet snicker. Then it evolved into a chortle. And in its final form, a complete burst of laughter.
He hugged his sides, howling, while the rest of the band looked at him like he was mad.

She stared at him wide eyed and maybe you would expect her to have her feelings hurt. But instead his laughter was contagious and she started laughing as well.

Crooner's laughter finally died away.
"I'm sorry kid, but that was just plain bad."
His manager gave him a dirty look and he cringed. "I mean, it wasn't bad...it was....interestin'. Yeah! Interestin's the word."

Wait, bad? Banshee's laughter died away. "Oh." She frowned. But he'd been laughing and so... "But you liked it?" She asked.

Oh man, he screwed up. He screwed up majorly.
His manager coughed and stared at him, and he could practically hear her saying why on earth would you tell a child that!? His ear flicked back, and he put a hoof on Banshee's shoulder.
"Hey kid, don't take that the wrong way. I only said it was bad because it wasn't how I sing. But that's ok!" he added quickly. "It's a good way to sing because it makes people laugh. It makes them happy."
"So in a way, yeah, I did like it!" He leaned down to make eye contact with her (truth be told, it wasn't that far of a distance to go. He was a Flutter after all)
"So don't be sad alright? You do your thing, and make people happy."

Banshee stared up at him earnestly, taking in everything he said with a little frown. "Well," she said finally, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's nice to make people laugh even if I can't sing as pretty as you." The frown made way for a smile. "So hey, you should teach me how to sing your way too!"

Crisis averted...
"I'd be happy to teach ya kid! What's your name anyway?" he asked, realizing he hadn't even bothered to ask before.

"My name is Banshee!" She announced. with a grin. "Okay, let's start now!" And that was how Crooner found himself with the most eager but untalented student one was ever likely to have.
