Trilby nods, half-paying attention to what Dynamo is saying as he looks forward to whatever is next. However, when Dynamo makes the announcement, he nearly drops his own microphone from surprise. "Guh?! What?! ME?! Right now? Uh... Okay, I guess we're doing this!! Just... Give me a sec, okay?" Trilby makes his way to the stage, but when he does, he magically teleports a few other stallions to the stage with him. They seem upset and confused, but he pulls them into a huddle. Only whispers of their conversation can be heard. ...Something about how he'll pay them... ...Something about how they practiced for this... ...Something about how it's just this one time... But soon, the conversation seems to resolve. The stallions put on matching straw boater hats, and they each receive a microphone. They all line up into position, side-by-side, with Trilby standing in the middle. @Dynamo Pad, @ChrysalisM, @Wizard, @Skylight Scintillate, @Nitobit, @ComanderZhabikKlavik, @Shiny Silvermoon, @TheRockARooster, @Dah Onion Eater , @ZiggWheelsManning "Fillies and Gentlecolts! Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium is proud to present... Trilby Hatter and the Ragtime Jukebox. Please enjoy this halftime show while the staff makes necessary repairs and maintenance. Ready, gang? A 1, a 2, a 1-2-3~!" Trilby starts them off with a countdown. With a little bit of a flare and some light dancing, the 5-pony group begin to sing an accapella song that quickly turns into a doo-wop! But in the middle of it, some of Trilby's fellow singers playfully start to push him around. It's all fun and games until Trilby starts to slip and slide on some leftover cake still on the stage. He does his best to recover and sing along with the group. However, the other singers soon smirk with a devious idea. As the song draws to a close, they make Trilby trip and fall. Thus, the song ends with Trilby landing face-first in a pile of cake. When he lifts his cake-covered face, he smiles and bows with his fellow singers. "Thank you! Thank you. Enjoy the rest of the Goof Off, and don't forget to shop at Trilby's Headwear Emporium for all your hat needs!" After letting the audience applaud or react however they want, Trilby teleports his fellow singers back home, walks off the stage, and starts cleaning himself off. Thankfully, his hat somehow remains unharmed.

I was gonna ask @Dynamo Pad if Trilby needed to do an intermission performance after @ChrysalisM's show, just so there would be time to fix the stage and all that. But I am guessing after @Emerald Heart's performance, there's no need? Just wanna make sure we're all on the same page here.

"Ah!! ... Good gravy!!" Trilby nearly has a panic attack as each weight falls from on high, shielding himself from any danger. But his mouth is left a big gap when the act suddenly leaves. "Ah- I-- Ee-- WAT?!" Trilby is beside himself with a derped expression on his face (). He takes a look around before holding up his microphone. "Uh... Sorry folks, technical difficulties. ...I think... Cimex will return to continue their performance later, maybe? I haven't been this confused since a customer kept calling Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium to order 20 pizzas. Turns out, they were using an old phone book from three years ago. We'll take a moment to get this sorted, so hang tight, everypony!" Trilby says. Putting his mic down, he takes a moment to look around and survey the crowd, making sure no one in the audience and none of the talent was harmed either. He notices Emerald Heart, and wants to say something to her, but... Trilby is instantly taken a back when her lack of confidence quickly shifts into a hilarious stand-up routine! Trilby ends up laughing to the point of having to gnaw his hoof to keep form laughing too much. He lets the audience have their reaction, then he collects himself and holds up his microphone once more. "Now that was a masterclass in misdirection! And with a little bit of self-deprecation humor mixed in? I felt bad for laughing, but as the old saying goes; if you can't laugh at yourself~. Reminds me of the time I accidentally double-banded a fedora. When I couldn't secure it properly, the second band came undone and became a floppy tail. I may have been red in the face that day, but the costumer got a free replacement band out of it! Point is, that was a fantastic comedy routine. She came out and owned that stage, and I'll take her joke delivery over a delivery of bills any day. Everypony, let's give another round of applause to Emerald Heart!" Trilby exclaims.
