“Before I begin, I want to dedicate this song to a new friend I just made.”
Scootaloo peeked out in surprise, as Belle Harmony began playing a keyboard and started to sing…
[Belle Harmony]
The world is scary, it’s true
Most times I don’t know what to do
Can’t even stand up, afraid to speak out
So shy and filled with doubt
But I know I’m wary, I do
I really wish it wasn’t true
I wish I was more, I wish they could see
The brave girl hiding inside of me
I wanna be brave as I can dream
I wanna dig down inside of me
I wanna feel free to finally see the light
To shine out bright
And it might take more time
But I can’t wait, I have to find the me
The me hiding inside
Scootaloo felt touched by Belle’s song, so much so that she decided to return the favor. She picked up a microphone and appeared next to the girl, surpising her as well as the rest of the Color Strikes and her friends, as she sang from Belle’s point of view…
[Scootaloo]
I can be selfish I know
Wanted to be part of the show
Hear the applause, feel the spotlight
But none of this feels right
Is it all worth it truly?
Can this be all there is to me?
A life of just fame, alone with no friends
Is this really how my story ends?
I wanna be more than I have been
I wanna fix all that I have seen
I wanna change everything and do what’s right
To shine out bright
Belle Harmony smiled at Scootaloo. Then they both began to sing it out.
[Scootaloo]
Who cares if I’m a big star?
It doesn’t feel that great so far
[Belle Harmony and Scootaloo]
It’s finally time I tried
To find the me hiding inside
[Belle Harmony]
I must be brave and stand tall
It’s time to break down these walls
[Belle Harmony and Scootaloo]
The courage that I need
Has always been a part of me
[Belle Harmony]
Life can be hard, but it’s worth the fight
[Scootaloo]
I’ll take a stand and do what’s right
[Belle Harmony and Scootaloo]
To shine out bright
I’m gonna be more (brave) than I can dream
I’m gonna be better (stronger) than I have been
I’m gonna find out how to step into the light
And shine out bright
And it might take more time
But I can’t wait, I have to find the me
The me hiding inside
All the Canterlot, Crystal Prep, and Hollow Shades High students clapped and cheered as the pair took a bow. Then they embraced.
“Wow!” Atlanta said to her friends. “Scootaloo really did get better at singing.”
“That was so beautiful!” Pinkie Pie said, her eyes full of tears.
“I promised myself I wasn’t gonna cry!” Hot Buns shook her head. “But I can’t not cry!”
Then the two held on to each other and balled their eyes out. Mikey gave the two a comforting hug.
“That’s it,” he eased. “Let it all out.”
