Countess Coloratura, or as few would know her as Rara, wants to reboot her music career. And her new manager, Sapphire Shores, has an idea that might just work.
Rick Barns, a guy who couldn't get his music career off the ground in America, has been trying to get by in Tennessee. When his new pony friend, Applejack, tells him about a new talent search to tour with Countess Coloratura, he gives it one last shot to fulfill his dreams.
But when Rick wins the talent show, he and Rara realize that they have to be a "couple" to make this happen. Looks like they forgot to read the fine print. Now one question remains: Can they make this work while trying to understand each other.
An idea someone brought up months ago that I decided to look into and work on. Tags will be added as the story goes on.
Why couldn't it be Rick Astley?
Oh, and FIRST

7576627 I wanted something that was close to me and my name, so Rick Barns was the best idea.
BTW: My name is Robbie Boerner.
7577964 Gut zu wissen.
I liked that Pinkie moment with the pun with Ricks name and that blasted meme from '06. You know the one.
It made me giggle/snort. It also didn't feel out of place and would have been a missed oppurtunity if you didn't know the now lost art of the Rickroll.
Fine job.
7595511 You can thank ransom username for bring it up when I created the story. I figure, what the heck. Let's rick roll here. Besides, the video has been played at hockey games when we have to wait for the refs to get an answer for a video review that would take forever.

Ah. I see.
Love it and can't wait to see more.
“Well, I have been trying to… stay alive,” Disco said, which Rick tried to contain his laughter. “Figure someone would get the reference.”
Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

I had to do rewrites of this chapter in what I wanted in it. I think this was the best I could do.

Well it was a fun chapter, and a good read, looking forward to more, and I'm sure it will be excellent.
Wait, how is that legal?
Nows not the time for Mario Kart Pinkie!
Lol
Been wondering out of curiosity: what would Rick Barns' pony form look like?
Alright! Best replacement Ranger is mentioned!
This is a bit freaky, but in a cool way: I've been coming up with these fanfics starting with human Flash Sentry deciding to move to Equestria to be with Twilight Sparkle. Some I've already written (most of them are on fanfiction, I've procrastinated posting them on here), but most I still need to write (also procrastinating on that). But anyway, a later story is going to feature an OC and his human counterpart with the human counterpart ending up with Sunset Shimmer, and I was thinking of having the human world and Equestria gradually becoming more aware of each other an even allies through these two unions.
So in a way, your story is like an honorary sequel to my stories.
That's where it gets freaky, but again in a cool way.
