//------------------------------// // Rainbow Is A Hardcore Flyer // Story: Primus Goes to Ponyville // by Z-A-C //------------------------------// Rainbow Is a hardcore Flyer. The band arrived in Ponyville an hour ago. They've spent sometime looking around the town, trying to find something to inspire a re-write. But found nothing. Although, in the hour they've been in town Les managed to convince the mayor to get a stage set up. Which is being built right now and, according to one of the construction ponies, will be up in a half hour. So they just sit there with a stack of song lyrics on paper. Les rubbed his temples. "I'm going out to check on the stage. You guys want to come with me?" Larry looked up from the paper. "Sure" And Jay nodded. Les turned and walked out of the door with his band-mates following. They had a small discussion on where to double check first. Jay suggested they re-write the songs so it sounds like it directed a little toward well known ponies. The other two nodded and went to the library they saw earlier. Surely the librarian would know something. Right? Les knocked on the door like he'd seen a pony do when they were looking around. After a couple minutes, the door opened revealing a lavender colored mare. "Oh, hello." She said hesitatingly. "How may I help you... kind Sirs today?" "We were wondering if you had any books on well known ponies." Jay said. She held a hoof to her chin. "Hmm... I have books on historical ponies but nothing more modern than that." She invited them in and offered for them to sit down, which the did. "May I ask why?" "We're a band." Les started. "We are looking for way to make our songs more relate-able. Do you have any stories about more modern well known ponies. Or something like that?" "Oh I certainly do. This one day..." "We have to see it." Larry stated. "If half these stories are true and they live in town, then we have to see them." The other band-mates agreed. The librarian chuckled. "Well knowing Rainbow, She'll be glad to show off." She then realized something. "Oh! I'm so sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle." "Nice to meet you. I'm Les Claypool." "Larry LaLonde" "Jay Lane." "Nice meet all of you. Now where is she?" After a few minutes of searching she finally decided to call for her. "Rainbow Dash! Where are you?!" The band jumped back from her sudden yelling and off in the distance they saw a rainbow contrail, that got closer by the second. And soon stopped with a cyan blue pegasus. "Hey whats up, Twi?" "Oh Rainbow there you are. These three gentlemen want to see you flying skill so they can write a song about it." Rainbow suddenly shook with excitement, but regained her cool within........a second or two. "Yeah, that's pretty cool. Alright boys, don't blink!" She stretched and took off. She did loop-de-loops, barrel-rolls, and some of her own custom tricks. And finished it off with a Sonic Rainboom. The bands jaws dropped, and Jay looked at Les. "I think we found our first re-write." Les and Larry nodded. The stage was set and sound check has been done. The Mane six (as they're known) are in attendance, as well as most of the town. Primus of course is used to this. Les and Larry strapped on they're guitars as Jay got behind his drum set. Les went up to the microphone and spoke. "Hello Ponyville. Thank you all for coming out. It's been awhile since we had a more intimate show like this. So we'll enjoy this as much as you will. We are Primus, and we will be doing one song a day for ten days." There were confused murmurs in the crowd. "A bit nontraditional, but we need time to re-write our songs. But without further hesitation we will start with our first of ten." Jay started playing the drums. "With our first song. 'Rainbow Is a Hardcore Flyer'." There were a few cheers as Larry and Les started to play Rainbow is a hardcore flyer, she flew so god damned fast. She barely did lose those checkered flags but never did come in last. Rainbow is a hardcore flyer, She'd say "I'm the fastest one" With a Celestia sticker on her flyer's goggles, she'd light 'em up just for fun. Ahhh. Ahhh. Twilight is a librarian, works at Golden Oaks Li-bra-ry. I'll be a wealthy man when I get a dime for all the things that mare taught to me. Applejack is a strong mare, strong as any mare alive. It seems that her, her friends and fam-il-y are happy just to be alive. Ahhh. Ahhh. GO! He He He. Dog will hunt. Rainbow is a hardcore flyer, 22 years old (?). One too many tough tricks one night and found herself trapped in a hospit-al, go. And as the song played its end, the ponies started to cheer. They found themselves mostly liking this weird new music. "Thank you. We're happy you enjoyed it. There is a suggestion box in front of the stage, in case you have a well known pony in mind. Come back around this time tomorrow for our next song. Oh, and feel free to see us later, if you want." They all put their instruments away and walked off stage. Les looked at his band-mates. "Well I think it went fairly well." Jay nodded but Larry looked unsure. Rainbow flew up to them, followed by Twilight and Applejack. "That was so AWESOME!" "Ah wasn't expectin' y'all to mention me." Applejack chimed in. "Nor was I." Twilight chimed in as well. Larry shrugged. "Well, we thought a small shout out to the pony that helped us would be a nice touch. And Applejack was the only one we could think for that part." "Well Ah thank ya. I gotta go see y'all tomorrow!" She said as trotted off. "That was a rather...interesting show." The band heard from behind them. They turned around and saw a white mare with a purple. "Thanks?" Jay said. They saw the pink mare known as Pinkie take a deep breath and.... Well we all know what happens then, right?
