// by Bro-Pony

Tonight Twi I and are going to “Pony Scratch” to watch Vinyl Scratch perform at the grand opening of the new and “Hip” club here in our very own Ponyville.
Even though this is my second day of my life that I can remember, I’m excited to see Vinyl play some music.
“Are you ready to go Shadow?” Twilight asked.
“Ya, I just had to check the store I sold my guitar to, to see if they sold it yet. Apparently some famous musician bought it, that is kind of an honor right?” I asked in a mock questionable tone.
“Oh course it is, that make you kind of famous.” She said with a laugh as we headed towards the new club.
“Well whoever bought it will defiantly get a better use from it then I will.” I said with a grin.
“I wouldn’t be too sure, you could have been really good but now you will never know… I’m sorry again.” She said with a sincere voice.
“Hey, don’t worry about it.” I said in a soft tone. “I probably won’t even see it again so there’s no need to fuss about the past, let’s just enjoy the present.
“Your right, thanks Shadow.” She said with a smile as she came closer to me.
“It’s awfully cold tonight, but that’s what you get in October… so are you excited for Nightmare night?” she asked as she just barely nuzzled her face into my dark fur.
“Um… I don’t really know what that is to be honest…” I said trailing off to let her know she can explain.
“Oh right, no memories… Anyways, Nightmare night is a holiday where we scary people and give tasty snacks and treats and we even dress up!” she said excitedly.
“Sounds like fun.” I said, “What are you going to be?” I asked.
“I don’t know yet, how about you?” she asked.
“I don’t know either.” I said in an agreeing tone.
As we entered the entrance there was a large Pegasus outside checking tickets. 
“Ticket.” He said staring at me and Twi.
“Here you go sir.” I said handing him the two tickets.
He stared at the two tickets until he finally said “Go ahead and enter.
“Thanks.” We both said as we walked through the large double door and walked into the club.
The club was huge! There were paintings and plants and all kinds of bars serving some kind of drinks.
Once we finally found a booth close to the stage we heard a voice come on and is said “mares and gentle colts, please stomp your hooves for, the one! The only! Ms. Vinyl Scratch!” he yelled as she walked onto the stage holding up a guitar… but not just any guitar…
“Hey Shadow! That’s your old guitar!” Twil yelled to me… unfortunately is caused a bit of a scene because now everypony in the club was looking at us, including Vinyl Scratch.
“So, this is your guitar I bought toady? You don’t look like much of a musician but why don’t you come on up and play us something?” she said in a bit of a surprised tone.
“Well actually..Er-“
“It’s true, he is a musician!” Twi announced, interrupting me before I could deny Vinyl.\
“Well then, why don’t you just come on up and play us a song!” She said to me.
“What do you guys think? Does he have it in him to perform?” She said, this time speaking to the audience.
“Go on Shadow.” Twilight whispered as she pushed me out of our booth and onto the stage.
“Here you go Mr…” Vinyl said
“Darkwing, Shadow Darkwing.” I said finishing her sentence.
“Very well Shadow, here you go.” She said handing me my ex-guitar.
“Ugh, ok…” I said trailing off in a nervous tone.
As soon as I put the guitar strap on me, I strummed the strings which produced a pretty sound; it wasn’t like a musical sound, more like a sound that indicated all the strings where tuned correctly.
Before I could strum again I felt very dizzy and my eye sight started to blur.
“For once, I’m actually glad this is happening.” I thought kind of relieved.
Soon after the dizzy feeling I collapsed onto the stage.
Everypony, including Vinyl and especially Twilight, gasped in fear and confusion of to what just happened. 
“Is he ok?” some of the pony’s asked in the back ground. 
“Give him a moment, he just needs space… he will snap out of it.” Twilight said, sounding a bit unsure.
Once I started to have my outer body experience, I started to have a strange feeling, not the kind I get when I feel all of my power, but a new kind.
I started to feel my hoofs grip an imaginary guitar and I heard some sounds of songs come to my head until bam! I remembered how to play guitar. 
After I woke up from this unconscious state, I explained what had happened to everypony, picked up the guitar, and started to play a song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxVDUE3D8_4)
She's staring me down with those electric eyes
No matter how hard I try, I can't escape that gaze tonight

That mare’s up in the atmosphere
That mare’s up in the atmosphere
I'm hypnotized by the way she moves
Baby girl please help me soon
I'mma take you to the sun and the moon
That mare’s up in the atmosphere
That mare’s up in the atmosphere 
And I've been catching myself thinking of it
it was 3 in the morning
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
Catching myself thinking of it
it was 3 in the morning
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
No, I can't catch lightning
She'll make you believe everything she wants
Make you think that you're the one
She will keep you there
That mare’s up in the atmosphere
She's way up in the atmosphere
And I've been catching myself thinking of it
it was 3 in the morning
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
Catching myself thinking of it
it was 3 in the morning
Every day I chase after her
But I can't catch lightning
No, I can't catch lightning
Oh, I can't catch lightning (yeah)
I can't catch lightning
She's staring me down with those electric eyes
no matter how hard I try, I can't escape that gaze tonight
That mare’s up in the atmosphere
That mare’s up in the atmosphere
That mare’s up in the atmosphere (oh)
She's way up in the atmosphere
And I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating
Chasing after things that you do
But I can't catch lighting
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating
Chasing after things that you do
But I can't catch lighting
No, I can't catch lightning (Oh yeah)
No, I can't catch lightning
I can't catching lightning (oh no)
I can't catch lightning
As I played I felt that feeling of power I usually get when I’m out, but I was awake.
As I played my acoustic guitar, it started to transform into a black electric guitar. My horn then started to glow, next thing I know, I’m somehow playing the drums and the piano near me.
As I performed, the crowd cheered me on until the song was over.
“Wow, looks like you aren’t too bad of a musician. In fact, you could be exactly what I need for my next show tomorrow night at the big Nightmare night festival. “She said with an impressed tone. “What do you say?” she asked.
“To be honest, I didn’t know I was a musician... It just kind of happened.” I said a bit awkwardly.
“That’s a good thing, music is meant to be played from the heart, not something you have to think about.” She said with a smile.
“Well I don’t have a guitar.” I said
“Well from where I stand, it looks like you and that guitar belong with each other.” She said with another cheery smile.
“Well thanks, and ya I’ll be there…. If you can get me 7 tickets.” I said
“You got it.” She said with a wink as she walked back up to the stage.
“Let’s hear it again for our new talent, Shadow!” She said as the crowed went nuts. 
“Great job Shadow, I had no idea you where that good with music and magic.” She said with a surprised tone but a cheery smile.
“Neither did I, in fact, that was the first time I’ve played since I woke up; and the first time I used magic.” I said with a small smile.
“Well you were great!” she said as she hugged me.
“Thanks” I said as I let her hug me, thinking about what just happened and how I regained a memory and used magic… and how me and twilight were acting towards each other.
After the club started to shut down, we, and the rest of the pony’s left the building.
“Great job up there Shadow” I heard some pony’s say.
“Ugh, thanks.” I said a bit unsure of myself.
“Well it’s late, we should probably get back to the library and get some sleep.” Twilight said.
“I completely agree.” I said with a smile, so we did just that.
