[Descant 1,898]

Rag and Tag were stretching out before their performance. They didn't have nearly as much time as Flame Dancer, so they helped each other stretch. 

 

After several minutes of stretching out, the call had come. Rag and Tag were to go on. "Are you ready?" Rag took a moment to respond, as she was gazing at Flame Dancer. "Yeah." Winking at Flame Dancer, she turned, and hopped up on Tag's back as Tag hopped on top of that same ball he was having trouble inflating earlier. They were both now wearing yellow clown outfits, and stereotypical clown noses. Tag stood up on his hind legs, balancing on the large ball, and Rag, standing on his shoulders, pulled a quite random assortment of objects out of seemingly nowhere. Holding them in her hooves, Tag started running backwards, and the ball rolled forward into the main, performance part of the tent.

Electro Dash waved a hoof at Descant "pff! Is that it? I waited 5 yeares to get out of my prison cell!" She was still chuckling as she turned to pay attention, bu then she realised what she said "BUCK! He better not have heard me. Now he'll never forgive me if he finds i've been arrested!*

[Descant 1,898]

Descant laughed, and pointed at the two familiar-looking clowns rolling into the spotlight. Whichever one was on top was now juggling the oddest assortment of items.... "Dash, look! That's them! That's my friends!" He paused. "They didn't tell me they were clowns." His ears flicked as he half-heard Dash say something... Something about a cell... He looked over at her curiously. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Flame trotted over to the spot he would be entering the stage on and cracked his shoulders. *I'm on after Rag and Tag...I should totally say something when they walk by...Maybe not...I dunno.* He thought, Smiling as he watched one of the twins juggling some rather strange items on top of the other twins head.

[Descant 1,898]

As per the act, another clown ran out from elsewhere on stage and stuck her foot out in front of the rolling ball, and Rag and Tag comically tumbled off of the ball. It was all very well rehearsed, and both twins attempted to chase after the offending clown and beat her with an oversized rubber mallet and a rubber duck respectively, both of which having just been items juggled. In the process of chasing the third clown, they tripped over each other and turned on each other, each faux blow given a comical sound effect by the band. Both silently laughing, they chased each other off the stage, pretending to still try and beat each other with the oversized mallet and duck. Upon reaching backstage, they both dropped the act, dropping the mallet and duck in the prop bin, and started to make their way farther backstage...

 

(OOC: Is everypony only going to go on only once? Or multiple times in a show? Like once, and then again at the end?)

Electro Dash was now sweating. She couldn't let him find out! He'd hate her or somehing *cmon cmon, gimmie some excuse. No, just tell him. Hell he reasonable. I hope...* she sighed, turned to him and placed both her hooves. "alright, but you have to promise not to tell. Look me in the eyes and tell me no, swear on your life, that you will not tell anypony."

Descant blinked. Why did she seem so... nervous? What was wrong? He looked her in the eyes, and said, in a calm, quiet voice, "I promise I won't tell anypony. On my life." He felt slightly nervous... Whatever it was, it seemed to be of incredible importance. He hoped he could keep his word, too...

Instead of making a funny face...Flame just smiled at Rag and Tag as they ran off stage, After a couple seconds the music started and he trotted onto the stage in a very slow manner. The Wheel was lowered from the cat walk area and a couple other ponies on stage gave it a big push to start the spinning.

Flame placed the straps over his wings so he could fly and took hold of the wheel as it passed by, It pulled him into the air as if he weighed nothing.

He grinned and started his act.

".... We're missing the performance!" he said, grabbing her hoof gently, leading her towards the tent. "All the good seats will be gone" he moaned. His voice holding more confidently once again. as they sat to watch the performance, he rested his head against her shoulder.

(Sorry im back)

Hop giggled as Umbra dragged her to the tent where the show was being held, and smiled when Umbra rested his head on her shoulder after they sat. Hop laughed as she recognized the twins, Rag and Tag. As the show went on Hop began to enjoy having Umbras company again.

Umbra didn't see much of it. He was too busy thinking, trying to remember what she liked, you know, apart from himself. He kissed her experimentally on the neck, putting his hoof around her, pulling her a little closer to him. He smiled, laughing a little at the show.

Electro Dash looked to Descant. He seemed to be honest with her. "Alright. Come closer a sec." She leaned in so that nopony could hear . "You see, im kind of a criminal. I was arrested for setting fire to tge Canterlot hospital. Now I didn't actually do anything. I was there, but i didnt do it. You have to believe me whan i say this." She gave a look of guilt "please."

Hop pulled away and looked at Umbra sternly. She then leaned in a whispered to him. "Umbra were in public. Now isn't the time for that. Enjoy the show." She then messed up his mane a little and smiled. Hop then continued to watch the show as it went on, hopping she didnt hurt Umbras feelings.

Umbra giggled "aawww does that mean we're not allowed to hug?" but she was right, they were drawing a lot of unwanted attention from the other ponies who were giving him the evil eye. He was still as naive as ever but even then he knew when he was causing a disruption.

Descant's eyes widened. Dash had never struck him as a bad pony. He seemed lost in tumultuous thoughts for several moments...

 

He honestly didn't know what to think. He wracked his brains... Watched the performer leap from inside the spinning hoop to on top of it... A small burst of blue fire emitting from his tail as he ran... He closed his eyes. And remembered that Bright Spark had deemed her fit to know, and to pay for her to come here... He trusted Bright Spark, and his judgement, and therefore he would trust Electro Dash.

 

Descant opened his eyes, to see the performer once again inside the ring. He looked to Electro Dash, and noticed how much she seemed to be shivering. She really was afraid he would reject her... He knew that feeling.

 

"Dash... Dont worry. I believe you." He said, smiling feebly.

 

 

 

Rag returned Flame Dancer's smile with a small one of her own as she and her brother made their way backstage. She missed the knowing smirk Tag now wore as they started tidying up after themselves. Her own smile had not gone unnoticed...

Rockshire awoken to see that Umbra wasn't with her anymore. "Hmm? Umbra? Where did you go?" She found a note right next to her, as she picked it up and read it. Tears were dropping from her cheeks as she threw the note to her side, walking away from the grounds. She didn't care that she was missing the acts, she only cared about her heart being broken... The note went towards the tent, showing a few tear stains on the parchment...

Hop ignored his last comment and continued to watch the show, smiling at the spectacular maneuvers that the pony in the ring performed. Hop began to realize how hungry she was and told Umbra she was going to get something and would be back. She got up from her seat and took an other look at the performance before continuing on.

Flame finished his Performance with a leap off the Wheel, As he jumped he did a flip and left a small trail of flames.

He smiled and bowed, Then trotted off the stage. *I love my job.* He thought, Taking the straps off his wings and trotting to the change room to get ready for his Fire Breathing Act, Which was after the freak show.

Umbra smiled and let her go, fiddling with his hooves. He didn't like being without her. What if Rockshire came back? No everything 'd be fine. He watched the show a little, getting into it. His shoulders slumped as all the adrenalin went out of his system. He hoped hop really was coming back because............ zzzzzZZzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzzz

//See y'all tomorrow, though I may not be getting on.\\

[Undyne 1,483]

Immediately when Rockshire got home, she slammed the door and ran straight to her room, startling her roommate, Percussive Force, who was busy texting his marefriend. He noticed her in her room, and went over to comfort her.

 

"Rockshire? Where were you? And why are you crying?" Rockshire was muffled by a pillow, beginning to sob.

 

"Because there are just some rude stallions out in this world..." "Huh? OK, OK, time out. Tell me what happened."

 

"I was at the circus today... And I met this really cute stallion... Eventually, we got to kissing and liking each other a lot, and then he walked off with another mare... I hate him..." "*sighs* Rockshire... You remember our talk from before? You told me that when I get stood up by a mare or turned down, I don't cry about it or complain... I get back up on my hooves, and I continue my life. That's how I was able to meet MY special one... Now, tomorrow, go back to that circus to find yours."

 

Rockshire continued to cry in her pillow, while Percussive sighed again and rolled his eyes. "Good night."

Rag and Tag were backstage, preparing for their second showing. The clowns here were a rather popular act, and went on multiple times throughout the show. They were preparing more comedy gear when Rag saw Flame Dancer walking down to his changing room. She looked after him longingly, but turned back to help Tag finish preparing the inflatable clown punching bag they were going to use next performance. She turned back to notice Tag eyeing her smugly. "Why don't you go after him? We have time to kill. And I can handle this." He gestured at the inflatable clown. Rag smiled at him, and nodded. "Okay. Thank you!" She hugged her brother and ran out the door after Flame. He'd already disappeared into his dressing room, it seemed. She looked disappointed, and stood there awkwardly, as she was just now realising she didn't know which one was his.

Flame was looking in the mirror, wiping off the makeup from his last act so he could prepare for the fire act when he noticed something in the mirror... Rag walking by his door, looking rather confused. He smiled and turned around. "Hey there, Are you lost ?" He chuckled and gestured for her to come in.

Rag smiled back. "Just a little lost." As she entered the room, she noticed the half-cleaned-off makeup that Flame was wearing. It looked a little funny. She had to suppress a giggle. Taking a deep breath to quell the threatening giggles, Rag said, "I'm sure I would have figured out where I was eventually."

Flame gave her a funny look when he noticed the slightly suppressed smile on her face. He looked in the mirror and laughed. "Maybe I should become a clown, Hahaha." He finished wiping off the makeup from his last act then he started putting on the makeup he needed for the next act. "So...Bout that Cider." He smiled at Rag. "I have heard its kept just outside the performers kitchen tent but there is a terrible monster guarding it...We need to fight our way through the crowds and crowds of evil carnival vampires and then through the desert of greasy carnival food to the kitchen where the warlock, Night Cloud, guards the fridge where the magic cider is kept...It wont be easy but I think you and I can do it." He laughed again. "But seriously, You up for some cider...Borrowing ?"

Rag was rolling around, laughing. Not literally, but yeah, she was laughing pretty hard. Flame Dancer had ended up being even better than she had imagined! Taking a few, deep, calming breaths, she smiled, and nodded. "Of course I'm up for it. I'd go with you right now, if we weren't in the middle of a performance." She blushed a little bit... Hopefully he wouldn't take that the wrong way.

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps hugged Airy, knowing the risk that it could be her last chance to be held in her hooves. "Airy..promise me this. Whatever happens, don't come after me. That stuff is dangerous enough for a professional, and if you don't know what you're doing....you would be at even higher risk. Whatever happens, don't come after me. Please." Scamps had tears down her cheeks, as she finsished the hug. She looked up at the clock; 10 minutes till her act. She looked at Airy with her teary eyes, knowing this could be her last few moments with him. She kissed him one last time, holding him as close to her as possible. She finally let go, and walked out the door,. She then turned back, and whispered, "Airy; I love you. Never forget that."

 

Scamps then grabbed her magician's top hat and walked to the backstage entrance she would use.

 

The ringmaster introduced her, and Scamps walked on while the crowd clapped and cheered. She hid her nervousness and sorrow as she partially searched the orchestra for Airy. Scamps quickly did some smaller stage magic; manipulation billiard balls, appearing cane, 20th century silks and so on.

 

And then the illussion rolled on stage.

 

Scamps jumped up onto the platform and began to speak. "This here is a wall full of spears and spikes. You can also observe that it is on a slant, headed for a box. I will be in a straightjacket, locked in that box, attempting to get out. The spikes will fall when the rope holding it back is burned out. Where is the fire, you say?" Scamps pushed a button, and the spikes ignited. "Right here. The rope is currnetly burning." Scamps said as she lowered herself into the box. The box was sealed by an assitant, as Scamps tried the escape, still talking. "As of now, I have 90 seconds. If I succeded, this tent will be cheering pandamonium. If I fail, Windy Scamper will be no more, impaled by fiery spikes."

 

Scamps wigled and squirmed. She coukd hear the countdown's every beep uphead. She guessed she had about 30 seconds left. 'Out of the straightjacket, right on time,' she thought.

 

She attempted to pick the lock. '10 seconds......Amost there, just a few notches....5 seconds......come on, one last one! 3....2..1'

 

 

Scamps let out a bone-chilling scream as the spikes hit the unopened box.
