"It is official, Lightning of Royalty's new album, All Equestrian Party, has been released, stores are already getting raided for hopes of buying a copy of the album, that the band says "Is ten times better than the last one!"" The stallion on the news channel said before Oliver turned off the television
"Well fellas, looks like the new album is a huge success like the last one." Oliver said.
"Well, as long as the fans enjoy it, I'm happy." Strummer said.
"How's the whole charity concert set-up going?" Sun Storm asked.
"As of now it's going well, we've already raked in about two hundred thousand bits in ticket orders." Oliver informed the band.
"Fantastic!" Steel Hoof exclaimed.
"Anypony see Cloud anywhere?" Oliver asked.
"He had a big night with a fan if you're catching my drift." Sun said jokingly.
"I hope he doesn't plan on getting in a committed relationship with a fan, you guys know how that goes." Steel Hoof said.
"Yeah, dude." Sun said.
"Why is that bad?" Strummer asked.
"Well... uhh... shit dude, I dunno." Steel Hoof responded.
"Yeah. It's like banging somepony with "special needs", you don't know why you don't do that, you just know that you shouldn't." Sun said.
"Oh. I see what you're sayin'." Strummer said.
"Alright, well the concert is tomorrow so I suggest you be ready and NOT hungover like you've been the past couple days." Oliver said before exiting the room.
"Well, we might as well get some practice in." Steel said.
"But Cloud Wave ain't up yet." Sun Storm responded.
"Fuck him. He won't be up 'til twelve-ish anyways, that is if our music doesn't wake him up." Steel said.
"Good point. Alright, come on." Sun said, getting up and heading for the door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The band began playing some songs off of their new album. House Fire, Diamonds, and Party Song were the songs that were coming form the practice room.
"Woo. That was some heavy drumming on House Fire." Steel Hoof said, wiping sweat from his forehead.
"Still, it was a good practice sesh." Sun said, strumming his guitar.
Cloud Wave then walked into the room, still visibly tired.
"You guys started practice without me?" He asked, still tired.
"Yeah. You was up all night fucking and we weren't gonna wait for you to wake up." Steel said, shrugging.
"Oh. Well, I need my coffee and if you guys are still practicing I'll join in I guess." Cloud said, walking off silently.
When he left the practice room the entire band started laughing hysterically.
"Dude! I've never seen him act like such a dope! That friggin' mare must've done some bondage-style stuff to him, man!" Sun Storm said, laughing harder than he ever has.
"I know, man! Shit!" Steel said, doing the same.
Strummer was on the floor laughing so hard that he wasn't making any noise. After a good ten minutes of solid laughter the three composed themselves.
"Damn that's good." Sun said, wiping a tear from his cheek.
"I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life, man." Strummer said.
Cloud Wave walked into the room and all eyes were on him.
"Hey dude. How'd you sleep last night?" Steel asked.
"You know. How you feel after sex? That kind of sleep." Cloud responded, securing a microphone to a mic stand.
"How was she? Who was she?" Sun asked.
"She was... different-" Cloud got cut off.
"Okay, we just wanna know how kinky she got. You were actin' like a dope and that's our first instinct when you act that way. How kinky they got." Steel said, no sugar coating on his statement at all.
"Ha! REALLY kinky, man. You thought the dominatrix's were bad? This mare...woo. Crazy." Cloud said, making his friends erupt with laughter.
"Alright, let's get practicing." Cloud said.
The band began practicing, this time with all of them present. It seemed when the band was united as one they sounded more strong and powerful, with Steel Hoof and Strummers house-wrecking sound and the rhythm that Sun Storm and Cloud Wave made, they were all joined into a perfect combination of musical sound.

"Uh... sir, since that new band, Lightning of Royalty, I think, has hopped into town, the album sales have dropped and you're making less bits than before." A grey-blue stallion with a white mane told lead guitarist of Thundersmith, Earthshaker.
"What." Was all he uttered before standing up from a brown office chair.
The scrawny pony shuddered as the significantly larger stallion he worked for walked past him.
"Uh... sir? Is everything alright?" The scrawny pony asked.
"No. I'm calling a band meeting about this, get the other members of my band so I can discuss this with them." Earthshaker said, leaving out of the door.
After about twenty five minutes all members of Thundersmith were in a room with dark red walls made of velvet, on the walls, a pattern of gold and platinum records hung, in the middle was an elongated cream colored table with black office chairs on the sides and on one end was a chair that sat Earthshaker.
"We're losing cash, guys. We started losing it when Lightning of Royalty came to town." He said.
"What?! Really?!" The drummer of Thundersmith, Eddie Cobalt, who was a cobalt unicorn, said.
"Yes. We need something done about it." Earthshaker said.
"Indeed. Eventually we'll be broke." A male voice that composed a Canterlot accent said. This was a male pegasus known as White Rose, the lead singer of the band.
"Exactly where I'm getting at. When is our next concert that features Lightning of Royalty?" Earthshaker asked.
"Tomorrow at a charity event." Bass player, Boomer said.
"Good. Here's the plan I have in mind..."
The plan that Earthshaker had was insane. More insane than any other band could have thought of.
