Build-a-band

-----------------------------------------------

You stayed up all night researching rock and the instruments. You planned on a 12 pony band. You looked at your assignment of the parts:

LEAD SINGER: Twilight
LEAD GUITAR: Rainbow
LEAD 2: Blue Sky
LEAD 3: Derpy
RYTHYM/back up singer: Rarity
KEYTAR: Misty
CHORD: Octavia
BASE: Applejack
SOUNDBOARD: DJpon3
SYNTHESIZER: Fluttershy
PIANO: Harmony
DRUMS: Pinkie

Twilight was happy to research, but she didn't use the internet like you did. She dug through her books.



After about 6 hours, everything was ready. You watched as a sugar-high Pinkie Pie played a drum solo, Blue and Rainbow ripped a guitar battle, Octavia playing some sort of contierto, Derpy and Rarity doing their own thing, Vinyl and Misty playing a duet, and Twi and Fluttershy...talking. Only one thing was out of place.

"Where's Harmony?" Pinkie asked, jumping up from her drum set.

"Last time I saw her, she was talking to me and disappeared when you guys called," you exclaim.

"Thats not like her to just...vanish." Blue said, still shaking her head to stop her ears from ringing.

"I sure hope nothing happened to her." you reply, putting your hand on your chin in thought.

Rainbow Dash shoved her face really close to you, body still high in the air. "Don't be such a worry wart. You're acting like Twilight." A microphone hit the pegasus in the cheek. Rainbow turned and stared at the insulted purple unicorn, both with angry looks in thier eyes.

"So, what ah we playin' for the Canterlot gag?" AJ asked after succesfully completing an epic bass groove.

"I'm thinking of playing Dive Over In by a band named Skillet." you respond.

"Skillet? A band named after a pan?" Pinkie Pie asked. You ignore the question as Ocatavia asks why you chose the song.

"I just like the song. Everypony will have a feature." During your research, you found sheet music to the song, and now it's time to practice.



After a few days of practice, your band was ready. You were suprised how fast they learned the song, but it was another world; they could learn differently. A letter appeared from Celestia saying they were ready for the gig. If only Harmony could have played for this song.


The crowd waited patiently as your band is about to play. This was nothing like Earth. On the other planet, the crowd would be going crazy. The guitars started playing the introduction and the audience were amazed. They've never heard of rock.


The crowd cheered crazily when the last note was played. They quieted as a lone piano started playing. The crowd turned around to see a spotlight light a small section of a dark stage.

A black pony was hunched over a piano playing a high-tense piece, eyes closed in concentration. The song started slowing down, seeming to come to an end. You jumped back at what happened next. Before the music stopped, the pony shot her eyes open. A blood red eye stared out from the socket. The sly smile on the mare's face tugged at you. She lifted her face slightly as the rest of the stage slowly lit up.

"HARMONY!"
