Was it a dream? Some strange magic that brought her to the facade of an odd tavern among the stars? Twilight Sparkle stepped forward and gripped the iron door handle, pulling open the portal to be greeted by merriment and drinking. Creatures of all kinds seemed to be drowning their sorrows, playing games and openly talking about anything and everything at their tables without so much as a care in the world. The purple unicorn stepped forward and was nearly run over by a Diamond Dog with two mugs in their paws. He swung around, half drunk, towards a table with, presumably, his companions.

“er” Twilight Sparkle stuttered, stepping back against the wall for safety as she felt utterly lost in the foreign tavern. Then her violet ears perked up, turning towards a corner of the building where a beautiful song filled the air despite the commotion of the patrons. The unicorn glanced over at the crowd, the bar and considered getting a drink but the allure of the melody pulled her away. Her hooves moved without thought and soon Twilight Sparkle found herself sitting at a table directly in front of the stage. Almost, as if, the seat had been reserved for her. Twilight Sparkle looked upwards towards the stage, a light following the fiery alicorn songstress as she waltzed along wit her song. Each step perfect, each note celestial and above all enchanting. So much so that Twilight Sparkle forgot the villain that sung upon the stage and saw someone she longed for. Someone to mentor her once more, to guide her, to comfort her.

A pause in the melody, a short beat to bring the unicorn out of her dreamy stupor and she looked up. Purple eyes wide with awe and surprise as a white hand was extended out towards the crowd. The crowd? No, to her. Despite the motion appear to be a vague address to the crowd, the golden eyes were fixated upon the unicorn. An offer to join her - in song or perhaps more?

Opted for unicorn over alicorn Twilight for two reasons: unicorn Twilight was still learning about still and more innocent. Secondly, her wings would have reaaaaaally gotten in the way. It’s dream magic, anything and everything can happen screw the timeline! Enjoy.
