“Time for the spectacle, time for the show..”
 
After AJ and Rara got back into contact, they began to write more frequently, Coloratura making sure that her modified tour schedule wouldn’t interfere with her pen-palling. Years passed, and the Countess left behind her old image, instead marketing herself as Equestria’s premiere Soft-Pop fusion act. Her outfits, designed by Rarity herself and hoof-shipped from Ponyville, were much more modest than the flashy garb that Rara had indulged Svengallop in wearing. Her songs continued to climb the charts, but after years of being in the spotlight, the former Pop pony decided to stay true to her friends, and retired, buying a portion of property from her dear friend Applejack, making herself a modest home. That was, until Applejack offered that Rara could stay with the Apples, and that she could use the loft in the barn, AJ even saying that she would renovate the barn’s loft into a nice living space for both summer and winter. Rara couldn’t deny it any longer; She’d know ever since they had reunited as friends that she had been harboring more than platonic feelings for the farm pony.
 
“The lights are bright and the colors glow..”
 
It was during the cold winter’s months, Hearth’s Warming Eve, to be precise, that Coloratura professed her feelings to an astonished Applejack, who then bashfully confessed her own feelings to the blushing blue pony. The two grew even closer, though a slight tension built between them when the two found out that through some.. More than friendly experimenting.. Rarity was expecting an adorable AppleGem fluffball. In order to mend the hurt between the two, Applejack agreed to bearing Rara’s foal, Rarity being more than willing to help in any way possible. (Magic happens, and Applejack became pregnant with Rara’s baby.)
 
“I’m not just anypony, I think you know..”
 
During the late summer, Applejack gave birth to a healthy filly, who’s pale raspberry eyes shown with a curious flame. Due to the young foal’s eye color, AJ began to affectionately call her daughter “her little razzle-berry..” This eventually stuck, the two happy parents deciding to name her Razzle Dazzle. Of course, Razzle was more of a “spotlight seeker” from the beginning, raiding Rara’s old dressers and trying on anyhting she could lay her hooves on. Applejack was of course very accepting of this; her mother had been such an icon, it would be silly if the filly wasn’t drawn in by the shiny costumes that hid themselves in Coloratura’s closets. After years of bouncing between farm-handing and taking immersive vocal lessons, ranging from one on one sessions with Sweetie Belle, to singing harmonies with her parents, Razzle decided that she wanted to become a singer. This was a shock to Coloratura, who had been secretly hoping that her daughter wouldn’t get sucked down the wormhole that was the Pop Charts. But, Razzle had made up her mind. She somehow managed to sweet-talk her parents into escorting her to Manehattan, arriving in the city with starry eyes. She had found the place, the big-time.. And it was all within a hoof’s step.
 
“The time is now, it’s about to blow!”  
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%~
 
As one could assume, Razz made it big, finding her stage manager was closer to home than she’d anticipated. Her half-sister, 24 Carat (Nicknames ranging from Carrot to Cara to Two-Four..) was more than happy to help with the artistic measures. Her stage name of Duchess Dazzling helped her skyrocket up the charts, especially once the word got out that Razzle was the Countess’ daughter.
