Lunage Daydream

"Cadance, I hate to play the role of 'annoyingly concerned aunt' as usual," Celestia sighed. "But don't you think you should take it easy?"

"Are you kidding, Celly?" Luna shot back before Cadance had a chance to. "She doesn't have to worry about being a responsible pregnant mother anymore! Don't get on her case about finally being able to let loose."

"Still..." Celestia replied. "You two were out all night yesterday, and the night before, doing heavens knows what. You rose the moon twice last night, and I don't know what exactly was happening with the Dreamscape, but even I know it wasn't normal. Plus, you two entered the café this morning by flying through the glass window—"

"We fixed it!" Luna protested, pointing at her horn. "I think you're just jealous!"

"Of what?!" Celestia shot back. "I'm coming with you!"

"Wait, you are?" Cadance had been nursing a headache, but she perked up. "You got tickets?"

"Yes," Celestia said. "Although I admit I am quite wary of this whole ordeal."

"Aunt Celly, are you seriously telling me you've lived for, like, 2000+ years, and you haven't been to a single concert?"

"I've been to plenty!" Celestia exclaimed. "I saw some of the greatest composers in history!"

"Yeah, but I mean a rock concert."

"Oh," Celestia said bluntly. "Then no. I haven't."

"She's boring," Luna explained earnestly. "That's why."

"Well, you haven't, either, Luna!"

"That's because such a thing did not exactly exist a thousand years ago. I assure you if I'd known that public gladiator battles were a thing, I would have been the first in line."

"Wait, what?" Cadance blinked. "What are you talking about?"

"Axes! You said there would be squealing axes! In an arena!"

"Oh for the love of... it's slang, Luna."

Luna cocked her head.

"Axes. It's slang. For electric guitars."

"Well, that's considerably disappointing."

“Trust me, it won't be,” Cadance assured. “There's bright lights, and lasers, and huge clouds of fog—”

Clouds?” Celestia repeated, she and Luna sharing a nervous glance. “I don't know...”

“Oh come on, you cowards. It's gonna be great.”

“So wait, electric guitars? I earnestly don't understand how that works,” Luna mused. “I mean… we have hooves. We're a species that might as well be wearing boxing gloves. How exactly does playing a guitar even work? It seems to me like such a performance would sound terrible.”

“Who are we going to see, anyways?” Celestia rolled her eyes. “Rock band names are so predictable and simplistic, I get them all mixed up. Are we going to see Slayerdeath? Nine Inch Tails? Carbon Dirigible? Amish I.T? The Pretentious Punk Poser Posse?”

Cadance was stunned for a moment. “Honestly, those are all fantastic band names.”

“I'm inclined to agree,” Luna nodded. “Hey Celly, think of a band name for us.”

“What?”

“If we were in a rock band, the three of us! What would our name be?”

Celestia pursed her lips for a moment, deep in thought.

“Countess Cadenza and the Coffeeguzzling Cloud Kickers,” she said eventually.

Silence.

“We need to make this a thing,” Cadance breathed.

“I'm inclined to agree,” Luna said again.

Celestia sighed. She sunk to the table, her head in her hooves. "I swear, these coffee meetings are detrimental to my sanity."

Author's Note:

So it finally clicked after rewatching 'Equestria Games' that rock concerts were canon in Equestria. So this chapter happened.

Also, dear Story Sharing: you have no idea how curious I am regarding your group and what this fic is doing in there.
