It has been a long day in ManeHattan, even for the though ponies who live there, but there is one pony who enjoys this nice long day, and that would be Quartet String. He just sits in the orchestra hall practicing his violin until a thought pierced his mind What if i create a festival for every pony... ya that sounds alright, and maybe i could let other ponies who do music join in the fun by playing, ya Quartet that is an awesome idea! so he stands up in joy and he cant wait to create this perfect event for everypony, he just now worries that it will be good enough for everypony. He checks the time on the clock and he notices that it is about 1:00 in the afternoon, and that is a perfect amount of time to get ready for his big plan. He gets strait to work, but he must find a stage within the orchestra hall big enough for everypony so he runs to the stage manager quickly. "BOSS! WAIT!"he screams his voice projecting as he sees his boss staring to pack up for the day. The boss is in a white business suit and he has a bright green mane and tail "Quartet i am very busy at the moment, but what do you want?" the boss asks and Quartets face lights up "well boss I am glad that you asked, see i need the orchestra stage for this afternoon and tonight, could you maybe book it for me?" Quartet asks and a bright and joyful smile peers across his face and then the boss hands him the key to the stage. Quartet unlocks the stage and opens the door to a big wide open area that appears to be able to fit around 300-400 ponies at once and the stage is big enough for an orchestra of 100-150 ponies. So as he enters the room he puts his saddle bags down and he gets right to work, he begins to write a poster that says ManeHattan Musical Festival and he finishes the first one just to go right to the second one. He finishes his final poster, there are about 30 in total and he looks over the first on carefully and closely. THE MANEHATTAN MUSICAL FESTIVAL ALL PONYS WHO KNOW MUSIC ARE WELCOME PLEASE COME BETWEEN 3:00-6:00 AN MEET ME IN THE STAGE ROOM THE SHOW WILL START AT 7:00 AND END AT 9:00 So quartet runs around the area of the music theater and he posts all 30 posters around the area, he then walks inside the building again and he waits inside the stage area. He now just hopes that some ponies will come to help him and that he will be able to make a great show that will make everypony happy. He rechecks the time noticing that it is 2:55 already, it seems that his day is flying by an pretty fast at that, but he can enjoy himself with his violin and sweet music, he firsts starts with a ¾ beat and gradually goes up to a 9/12 beat with lots of A+ and G- chords with in his song, and he begins to sing to his music “Ohhh, the light of the new day, show me the way, bring onto this life of joy and no pain, bring onto me this day, bring onto me some ponies, I only wish to play a song, a song of cheers and laughter.” And he repeats this song over and over again until he creates the perfect melody tune, the song is no longer A+ and G- chords, they are now A-, Bb+, Eb-, and G+ chords creating a perfect balance in the tune

As Action Shot passed by the auditorium, he could hear a magnificent tune echoing from the nearby entrance. The door had been slightly cracked open for air to be let in and Action opened the door further by wiggling his muzzle and pushing it. He went into the concert hall and trotted through the lobby. Admiring the size of the overall hall. As he walked into the house, he saw a single pony on stage, playing a rather upbeat melody.
He began to stomp his hooves in time with the beat and as he listened to the vocals of the talented violinist, he smiled in full appreciation.

Quartet finishes the song he was playing from his memory and he sees the pony walk in, he lowers the sound of his song into mezzo Piano sound (med-soft) and then he crescendos his song at the final note, and after he is done he puts down the violin and jumps off the edge of the stage down to the pony who walked in.
"Why hello there." he says his voice is a medium pitch and it projects across the music hall even though he is not yelling "My name is Quartet. Have you come to see the rehearsal for tonight music festival, or have you come to join in the wonder bask of musical genius of many ponies?" he says standing on his two hind legs opening his front two legs like a maestro, by he just laughs and puts himself down to the ground, and he jumps back up onto the stage, and he looks at the pony waiting for a response

Soul Serenade was walking around Manehatten, looking around for something to do, when she noticed the posters all around. "Oh, a music festival! That sounds like the place I want to be, maybe they'll let me sing!" With excitement practically pouring off of her, she headed towards the music theater. As she got there, she heard some beautiful music coming from inside, and stopped to listen before she walked in. As the music stopped, and ponies started to talk, she walked in, hoping she wasn't disturbing anything.

The dark purple stallion had addressed Action. This was his first experience with a musical pony. He continued to smile in awe as he inhaled to greet the distinguished violinist:
"Actually, to tell you the truth, I came here at first because I heard your awesome melody. From what I've heard so far, I can honestly say I am enthralled by your presentation. Y'know what? I've got nothin' to do tonight, so why not, I'll stay here for the presentation!" Action grinned with a determined look on his face. Real music in Manehattan, I haven't been out of my apartment in so long. Revelations Primo has been kickin' my butt, I deserve an ACTUAL break. He trailed off into his thoughts momentarily until he noticed out of the corner of his eye, another pony come into the auditorium.
Enter a young purple mare, who's mane and tail had a colorful pattern of black, gold, and red. She had soft round eyes and dainty wings. ...Wow, who's that? I never seen her in town before...she's beautiful.... Action shifted his field of vision back to the violin pony and gave a perplexed look.
"...Um, does this festival have an admittance fee? Just out of curiosity, that is."

"well at least i know now that one pony is coming to the festival, hey if you have any talent that could help m...." and his attention is drawn away from action to stare at the new pony who came in, she had the same colour of pelt, but hers is lighter and not dark like his, but he quickly stops looking and he turns back to action and begins to speak again "as I said before, if you have any talnet that can help us, either it be photos, video, drink supplying or anything that would be great, also if you don't mind what is your name?" he asks and he looks at the other pony.
He flicks his white mane from his face and he blinks his deep red eyes at the purple pony with the multi-coloured hair "What about you? do you want to help out?" and he looks at the pony with a bright smile

Soul stops short as both of the ponies in the room turn to look at her. She looks at the two, and notices the brown earth pony looking at her strangely. W-wow, he's very handsome, I wonder .why he's looking at me like that. lost in this thought, she barely noticed the purple one's question. "r-really? Y-you'd want m-me to help? Oh yes, yes! I'd love to!"

Asking for his special talent and name, Action cleared his throat and spoke in a proud, professional tone:
"I am Action Shot of Revelations Primo -- a local independent film studio in downtown Manehattan. I can offer my services as somepony who can document this new event and edit it in presentation for another year's celebration if you want." Action glanced back over to the mare for a second but then readjusted his focus back onto the musician. Focus Action, you're in a business deal, you can talk to her afterwards! He pushed his glasses up with a hoof and then spoke again in his professional tone, but with a bit of warmth to his voice:
"I am pleased that you offered for help because I would be more than happy to," Action gave a cheerful smile and continued on, "what is your name good sir?" He also noticed that the pegasus had also agreed to help and thought to himself: This really is a great day. Got a new business deal and bumped into a cute pony. What could go wrong?

"Well, Mr.Action shot, my name is Quartet String, one of 15 violinists in the manehattan orchestra, and it would be a honor to have you document this event, now i sure that you are aware that the event is happening tonight at 7:00 and it will end at 9:00 at night, so once you have you camera equipment here that we can be settled in, and what about you?" his glance looking at the other pony that was near action "what could you do that will help out this festival?" he says and a smile peers onto his face, it is a warm and welcoming smile.

"Its nice to meet you Quartet. The Manehattan orchestra, huh? That's crazy awesome. I can't wait to hear everypony play." Action pressed a hoof to his chin and thought about how he could arrange his equipment:
"Can I make it here at about 6:45 PM? I'll need some time to set up and make sure everything's set for the equipment...It takes more time to set up than to break down the equipment, but I can guarantee you will not be disappointed with what I am capable of. I can even bring an assistant from the studio to help."
He noticed that Quartet gave a warm, inviting smile to the purple pegasus but this caused Action to turn red a little bit. Oh man, this pony's trying for her too...I got no chance. I may be a filmmaker, but he's got a legit job as one of the musicians in one of the top orchestras in all of Equestria! I just have to keep on my hooves...Just focus, you're here for a job. This girl is adorable, but you can't force her to like you. Just be yourself...and when I mean "yourself," don't let your passion erupt. You are a PROFESSIONAL.

Sea Swell peered from under her black snapback's visor at the poster hanging off the side of a building. "Music festival?" she thought aloud to herself, a small smile forming on her lips. "Sounds like a great opportunity to make some fans..." Sea wondered how big of an event this festival was going to be. If she was allowed to perform here, and depending on the size of the crowd, she might finally make some progress toward fulfilling her rock-star dreams.
Not that she could really complain even if it was just going to be a small event. Though she would never admit it to anyone, she was beginning to become desperate for any kind of opportunity to perform. Money was starting to run a bit low, and if she didn't start making a name for herself soon, she would have to... get a real job! Frankly, the thought horrified her.
The brown-pelted pegasus made her way to the theater's stage room and noticed three ponies were already gathered together in conversation. She didn't take any time to look more closely at any of them, though if she did, she would have recognized the long-maned brown earth pony, Action Shot. Instead, she gave into her impatience. "Yo, who do I talk to about this music festival?" she asked the small crowd as she approached them, casually glancing around the room, getting a feel for its size.

Soul smiles back at the purple earth pony,Quartet String, his smile helping her confidence."W-well, my n-name is Soul S-Serenade, a-and I can sing. I-I love to sing..." Her response is cut off by the sudden question from somepony just walking in, causing her to jump and hide behind the brown earth pony, Action Shot, and blush as she got so close. O-oh my! H-he's so much more h-handsome up close.

"well singing is a great feat, in my opinion, and I enjoy if you sang in front of the crowd that will come tonight." He says and he turns his attention to the other pony who just walked in, she seemed impatient but Quartet did really care "well if you wish to speak to the creator of this event i am right here, Quartet String at your service." he says holding out a hoof to shake while he turns his head over to action "don't worry sir, you can set up at anytime here, just not after 7:00 of course." he says laughing a bit under his breath, but he turns away from action and turns his head to the other brown pony.

Action's flustered look was met with surprise when a rather stylish Pegasus, as Action remembered from before, the cynical pony who had introduced herself as "Angelina Contesa Louisa Fancesca Banana-Fanna Bo Besca the Third" barged in asking about the festival in an impatient manner. Sea Swell, I haven't seen her for a while...not since I filmed the documentary about the Gray Shadow.
Sea Swell's sudden appearance had scared the purple pegasus, causing her to leap behind him and hide. Action suddenly blushed. Sweet flank, Batpony! She's right behind me! Oh man, what do I do? Should I greet her? But how? Just TURN AROUND Action, how hard is that?! Action slowly turned around and made eye contact with the Pegasus. Her eyes swirled with a mix of fear, curiosity, and excitement all at once. Maybe she was into him? All he had to do was ask:
"Woah, you okay? You got startled pretty easily, there...its okay, Sea Swell won't bite, she a nice pegasus," attempted Action has he stretched a humorous comment, but it was delivered sort of awkwardly. He gave a smile, but his lips quivered out of nerves. He could hardly keep his composure around her when she was this close, she was...intoxicating to be around. Good job Action...you fail at flirting...she's probably gonna think you're a moron... Action's thoughts were immediately followed by a slight twitch in his eye, an indicator his passion was building.

When the violet-pelted pegasus jumped away by Sea's sudden entrance, Sea noticed her multi-colored mane and tail and was really impressed with it. Sea began to open her mouth to compliment her on it (and also to ask her what the flank her problem was for jumping away like that), but she finally recognized the long-maned pony she met during the whole Grey Shadow ordeal.
"Oh, hey, you're that mare-uh, stallion," she corrected herself quickly (his mane always confused her) and continued. "With the camcorder from that whole thing with that guy! Uh, Action Shot, right?"
When Sea noticed how Action was talking/smiling/eye-twitching to/at the violet mare, though, she began to mentally distance herself from them. Oh, jeez. Is he, like, trying to hit on her? Yeah, I don't even wanna deal with that right now. At any rate, she had business to take care of.
Turning to the white-maned purple pony and shaking is outstretched hoof, Sea said with a confident smile, "I'm Sea Swell, and I wanna contribute to your festival."
