A Shadow’s Grave

Filling the Schedule

Sigh... I made a bet with some of you on the stream that I ended up losing. So thank Mrzel for being the last one (from what I heard) left on the stream and won the bet. And because he won, I am now putting out three chapters today.

Chapter 37: Filling the Schedule



I was visibly shaking as the carriage flew towards Canterlot. I kept noticing Celestia was constantly taking looks at me, making me more and more nervous.

"What's wrong CJ?" Asked Celestia in a calming manner.

"N-Nothing...." I said back.

Celestia nodded back. We continued towards Canterlot. The trip felt like an eternity. Finally we landed somewhere at the castle. Me and Celestia got out and began walking down a corridor.

"So.... what did you need anyway?" I asked.

"Well.... this is mostly for Luna's sake." She said.

"Luna?"

She nodded. We continued walking until we made it to a set of double doors. They were dark blue with star patterns covering it. I looked back to Celestia.

"I-Is this..."

"Yes, her bedroom." She said, motioning for me to enter.

I swallowed my nervousness and pushed the doors open, walking inside. They immediately encase in blue energy and close behind me. I look back ahead of me and what I see I cannot comprehend.

Pictures of me (Human form) was EVERYWHERE. And I mean everywhere. And they all said DJ D1sASt3r on them. At first I was scared, but then began to calm down.

'She is just a fan... oh thank god...'

I heard hoof steps. I looked towards them and saw Luna standing there looking confused. She looked me up and down.

"Who are you? Why are you in my bedroom?" She said looking a bit embarrassed I saw her room.

I looked between her and the pictures. "I-I'm... uh... C-CJ....." I said preparing for the worst.

She looked more confused. "CJ? How is that you?" She said.

"Twilight.... missed... with her magic." I said.

"I see." She said back.

There was an awkward silence. So... I decided to break it as best I could.

"So... I see your a fan...." I said motioning around the room.

"Yes I-" Then she notices all of the pictures. "EEP!" She shouts.

There was a bright light. When It faded I was standing on green grass. I looked around and saw it was now night time. I was in the same field I had first fought the shadow dick. I could see ponyville in the distance.

"Sorry you had to see that...." Said a calming voice.

I jumped a bit and turned around to see Luna. Even in the middle of the night I could see her blush.

"Wasn't that bad...." I said back.

She stared at me for a moment. "Ok... maybe it was...."

She shrugged. "Well, I am mad at Tia for that... but I wish to ask you something...." She said taking a step closer.

"Yes?" I said.

"Well... i wanted to know..." She said taking another step.

I began getting nervous.

"If you could... maybe..." Another step.

She was now right in my face. Looking at my eyes.

"Could you come and perform for me and Canterlot... Next Galloping Gala...?"

My heart did a back flip in the release of nervousness...

"Hm.... uh... er... uh.... ah..." I began saying.

She began hopping up and down. "Oh pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasePLEEEAAASSSSE!" She said while hopping.

"Hm... alright...." I said smiling.

She lunged forward and threw a bone crushing hug around me. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!! If there is ever ANYTHING I could do for you! Don't hesitate to ask!" She said tightening the grip.

"I... need to breath.... to BE a DJ..." I chocked out.

She gasped and released her grip. "Sorry!"

I fell down getting my breath back. "It's ok.... no harm done..." I said as I stood back up.

She nodded. "Oh this is so wonderful!" She said.

"That reminds me... I made a song I want you and Celestia to come and listen to tomorrow, You will all love it." I said.

"Really!?" She said.

"Yup... and actually, there is something I would like you to do." I said.

Her eyes widened. I went up to her ear and whispered in her ear the plan. She nodded. "Of course. I'll get Zecora." She said.

I nodded as well. "Alright, see you soon, also, you wouldn't mind teleporting me back home... would you?" I asked.

She nodded. "No problem." Her horn began to glow and I appeared in my home.

'Hm... being a unicorn must effect how it feels to teleport.... because I don't feel anything... usually it's makes me want to throw up'

I shrugged and realized I was in my bedroom. I looked around and saw that Scoots was sleeping. I walked into my DJ room so I can make final adjustments. I saw my laptop sitting on the table.

'That will make things SO much easier'

I walked to the table and started with the music.

****************

I slowly awoke to the feeling of jumping. I peeked an eye open to see Scoots hopping up and down on the bed again.

"Are you my alarm clock now?" I asked.

She giggled a bit. "You bet! Come on! today is the day!" She said.

I nodded and got up.

*********************

Me and Scoots left the house and made our way into ponyville. I noticed a lot of commotion the the town square. When I got there I saw lots of ponies setting up the stage. I walked towards it.

"Getting ready for the Nightmare night concert?" I asked one of the builders.

"Yup.... DJ D1sAsT3r Is going to play!" He said.

"Yup... you sound really excited." I asked.

"I am... I am based in Manehatten. So I couldn't really ever go to a concert." He said. "I hope I get to meet him. I heard he is the human."

I chuckled a bit. "Yes he is, and I have the feeling... you will meet him." I said walking away.

I noticed Mayor mare watching the set up, so I walked over there.

"Hey Mayor, what are tonight's plans?" I asked.

She looked at me confused for a moment then answered. "We are going to have games and such. When It gets dark enough we will have our towns DJ perform." She actually Squee'd after that. "We then announce the winners of the costume contest after the.... fireworks show." She said with a bit of disgust.

I raised an eyebrow. "Whats wrong with fireworks?" I asked.

She shook her head. "We could only find one unicorn willing to do them..." She said.

"And.... who's that?" I asked.

She paused for a moment. "...Trixie..."
