She must never know

chapter 4

Juliet's father drove into the school parking lot and waited for his daughter to come out. He was nervous. The last time he did this so many years ago things did not go well, his little girl had ran out of the school with tears in her eyes, crying about how much she hated it there and how much she missed him, he didn't want that to happen again.

Juliet emerged from the school searching for her fathers black '67 impala among the Lamborghinis, Porsches, and other luxury vehicles, which was not hard to find because it stuck out like a sore thumb. She ran to her father's car, flung the passenger door open, and wrapped her arms around her father. She slipped into her seat and her father asked her, "how was your first day of school."

"It was so amazing!" She exclaimed. "I meet so many new people, and made so many friends."

"I bet you didn't think about your poor lonely father once while you were off having adventures."

"Oh daddy, of course I missed you."

"What else happened?"

"In drama class we started working on our presentations for parents night."

"Oh, I'm very excited for that."

"I also have a private singing teacher."

"Why do you need one of those? Your voice is already so beautiful."

"That's what the teacher said."

"Well they are absolutely right. Lets get going."

On the car ride home Juliet told her father about everything that happened at school.

That night Juliet's father while passing by her daughter's room noticed something strange. There was no music. He entered the room to the sight of his daughter just sitting there. "Is everything all right sweetheart?" He asked with concern.

"Do I have a mother?" Juliet asked

"No sweetie you don't. Why do you ask?"

"It's just all of my friends have mothers and fathers, but all I have is you daddy."

"You're special you don't need a mother like everyone else. We only need each other."

"I know that daddy I was just curious."

"There is something I need to tell you dear."

"What is it daddy?"

"Something has come up, and I need to go out of town for a while."

"What? You're leaving."

"I'm sorry honey. I don't want to but it is something I need to take care of."

"How long will you be gone?"

"I'm not sure."

"You'll be back before parents night and my birthday. Right?"

"I promise. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"When are you leaving?"

"I have to leave right now."

"I'm going to miss you daddy."

"Here," he said handing her a record. "When ever you fell lonely just play this. Now I have to leave."

"Goodbye daddy."

"Goodbye." With that he left her room.

When her father had left she went to the record player and put on her father's gift. The voice of her father played over the static.

"Hey Juliet, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to keep me here in your heart

Then you can start to make it better

Hey Juliet, don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get love

The minute you let it under your skin

Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel alone, hey Juliet, refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making their world a little colder

Hey Juliet, you won't let me down

You have found fame, now go and get it

Remember to keep me here in your heart

Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Juliet, begin

You're waiting for someone to perform with

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Juliet, you'll do

The movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey Juliet, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to keep me here in your heart

Then you'll begin to make it

Better"

Juliet's father was driving down the highway as he said to himself "I guess I knew this would happen one day. I can't do this on my own anymore. She needs you. I'm coming. Get ready Equestria." With to snaps of his fingers he transformed and then vanished.
