With songs worthy of her country, Filipina Heart has always inspired her teammates at TaKe (Team Kapre Fighting Guild) and most especially her friends.
It was another Friday night at a Fillyphine bar. Not many patrons are seated, sipping cider or just eating rice stacks.
The host calls out: "Everypony, plees welcam, Filipina Hart!"
Clapping of what few hooves can spare can be heard, resonating in the otherwise dark and quiet place.
Filipina Heart performs her usual song, expecting the usual small applause for the underrated talent that she is.
She does this every night, and by each common night that she performs, she expects the same the day after.
After a few songs and the expected applause, she returns to the curtains, relieved that she didn't screw up even one note.
Suddenly, a few steps away from the dark and empty backstage, she heard a voice unfamiliar to her.
"Nice voice ya got there."
To her surprise, Filipina quickly replies "Huh, who's there?"
"Just a fan."
"Well, thank you. You must be a regular here."
"No, I'm not. But hearing you the first time, I knew you had potential. Anyway, may I cut to the chase?"
Filipina hesitantly answers "Uhh, what's this about?"
"I want you to join me. To Canterlot."
"You must be a talent scout! But my manager..."
"Taken care of. Just say yes, and we'll take care of everything else."
Filipina Heart gives a look of hesitation. Why this all of a sudden? What's her motives? All of these questions looms her mind. How could it not. The invite is very immediate and straightforward.
As a last statement to convince Filipina, Rose Lucena asks,"Don't you want to make your country proud? Our dear Fillyphines? Or at least, your sisters?"
Filipina was awestruck. How did she know? Who is she?
"How did you...?"
"Join our team TaKe, and we'll be happy to answer them for you. Like I said, everything is and will be taken care of. Just. Say. Yes." Rose said with a smirk on her face.
Filipina was now more curious than hesitant. With firm lips, she responds, "Yes."
I love it^^
