The great band Daft Punk visit Canterlot High

It was just a normal return from the Grammys. Daft Punk just finished their performance and were proud of their grammy. However, things changed when they were sucked into a magical mirror that teleported them into the world of colorfully skinned high schoolers. With a music festival coming close, are Daft Punk the only ones able to help Canterlot High win? Will there be love? Jealousy? Strobe lights? We'll see.

[Takes place after Equestra Girls and before (shudder) Rainbow Rocks. I own nothing.]

After Miley Cyrus was done making a complete fool of herself at the grammys awards, it was time for the main event: the finale. Two men with robotic helmets stood behind a curtain. One had a helmet that was silver and had a visor that was displaying the word "Excited". The other had a golden helmet that had a smiley face on it. After Brian Cranston introduced them, they got into their pyramid. As soon as Brian left the stage, mist began to flow throughout the stage. Everybody cheered, as a pyramid shape emerged from the stage, lighting up through the mist. The pyramid stopped to reveal the world famous duo: Daft Punk. Everyone went crazy once they were outside the pyramid. They then went to their turntables and pressed the touchscreen. A very familiar song started playing, and the crowd starting going Around the World.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The finale was over, as the two men starting walking towards a tour bus with their grammy award. They were engaged in a deep conversation...about food. One had the word "Pizza" on their helmet, while the other had a heart on his helmet. They entered the tour bus to find 4 skeletons dressed in a familiar attire. Guy (Golden helmet) had a question mark on his helmet. Thomas (Visor) had the word "Great" on him. They did not know why these skeletons were here. However, one plausible reason might be the fact that a certain lazy author has yet to complete his first frickin story. But I digress. Back to Daft Punk. They stepped on the remains of 4 "Cold" skeletons, thinking about bad puns. That's when they saw it: A shining mirror was in the back of the bus. Thomas had a "WTF?" on his visor. They walked closer to the mirror, examining it's sheen. It glowed, as Thomas examined it carefully. He glided his hands over it. It was like liquid, yet, his hand stayed dry. That's when Guy noticed the full moon outside. It shimmered in the night, catching his eyes. A smiley face was on Guy's helmet. Suddenly, a loud, sparkling noise caught Guy's attention, making him turn to Thomas. Thomas was halfway through the mirror, struggling to get free. His visor had "Uh-Oh" on it, as he flailed his arms for help. Guy instantly grabbed his arm, trying to pull him out. However, an even stronger force pulled him and Thomas right through the mirror. They spun around, as they were now being teleported.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guy was the first to wake up. He shook his head and realized that he was no longer on the tour bus. He was now in what appeared to be in front of some sort of campus. Guy stood up, but then fell back down again. He looked to his legs to see that they've changed shape. His entire body looked more cartoonish, like something from a movie that was rushed and not well-written. He still had his black attire, but his chest had a small logo of his helmet sewn on it. He looked behind him and saw Thomas, still lying down. He also looked badly developed and lacking of proper toy development attributes. He moved towards Thomas and shook him. Thomas rebooted, and started getting up. However, he struggled to get up too, since his faulty design didn't allow him to stay up on his stupid feet nubs in his shoes. However, with some help from Guy, he managed to get up. Thomas's visor had "LOLWUT?" on his visor, asking Guy what happened. Guy just had a picture of a grammy on his helmet. Thomas flashed, and tried to find the grammy. He checked all over, but to no avail. The word "Uh-Oh" appeared once again on his visor. Guy had a sad face on his helmet. They stayed there for a second, wondering about the downard spirals that kids shows take, until Guy's stomach growled. His helmet displayed a fuel tank that was empty. Thomas understood the signal, and pointed at the campus. The word "School" was on his visor. Guy looked at the school. It appeared to be nice. The statue behind them told them that the school was "Canterlot High School". Guy shrugged, and gave Thomas a thumbs up. They then made their way into the school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Things haven't been the same since our dj went away." Fluttershy spoke to Rarity. She grabbed her book from the locker and closed it. "With the National Canterlot Music Festival coming, I'm not sure if we have a chance of winning this year. The new school dj's are very rude."

She, of course, was referring to Grillex and Deadr4t. They appeared soon after two of Canterlot High's star musicians, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, left the school for reasons unknown. Maybe for plot device, I dunno man. Anyways, two new students admitted themselves into Canterlot High a couple of weeks later. The two girls looked quite peciluar. One had short black hair on one side, and long black hair on the other side. That hair covered the student's eyes. It didn't help that she was also wearing shades. She called herself Grillex, and automically joined the team for the Festival. Her friend, however, made her look quote normal. Her friend had a huge red helmet on that looked like a mouse. She called herself Deadr4t. The teachers, and even the principal told her to take it off, but she didn't. Not cause she didn't want to, mind you, but because it was stuck on her. It was so bad, they had to install an advanced mouth opening that opened and closed on command, to help her eat. Since their enrollment, they've been quite mean to other musicians, often stating that their music is superior to theirs. Well, except for Deadr4t, cause she never spoke. Ever. However, she is good at signals. And if that didn't work, she always had a pen and paper around to help. Needless to say, this school has been quite unhappy with these new students.

"I know what you mean Fluttershy," Rarity agreed. "Those new musicians have taken over our music program. That Grillex lady took Vinyl's job at the music store, and that Deadr4t's music is not quite my cup of tea."

Rarity humphed.

"If you ask me, we should make our own band and step up to those bullies."

"I wish we could," Fluttershy said. "But if we did, we'd be making an unessecary sequel that will give a false image of what rock bands look like and we would be furries again for no reason. Also, our songs would probably sound like something from a Kids Bop album, and everyone will hate the movie as much as they hated the first one. Heck, LittleShyFiM would have a field day over it."

Rarity blinked at Fluttershy.

"Ummm....what?"

"Oh, uh, I mean, I wish we could." Fluttershy grinned innocently, as she hoped Rarity wouldn't notice her OOC moment.

But before this story failed to pass moderation, the doors opened wide. A burst of sunlight blinded most everyone that was there. When the doors closed, they opened their eyes and saw two people their. Both had robotic gloves and helmets.

Rarity groaned. "Oh great, MORE musicians."

"Stupid DHX..." Fluttershy cursed under her breath.

The two robots walked down the halls. Thomas had "WTF" on his helmet, and Guy had a question mark. The students stared at them with confused looks. Rarity and Flutterhshy talked and agreed to help the new students. They both walked over to them.

"Hello!" Rarity said to them. Both men had exclamation points, as they stopped and saw Rarity and Fluttershy.

"My name is Rarity, and this is Fluttershy." Rarity showed them Fluttershy, who was hiding behind Rarity, nervously eyeing them.

"Welcome to Canterlot High!" Rarity said. "Are you two new here?"

Guy looked at Thomas, then nodded at Rarity.

"Ooh! Exchange students. Please, you must tell me where your from, Mr...umm, what is your name darling?"

There it was. The question that changed everything. Guy and Thomas both stood still. Their screens went haywire, flashing multiple lights of multiple colors.

Rarity backed up, worried over their sudden technical breakdown.

Suddenly, they both stopped, and faced the floor. On their screens, a blue screen appeared. Then, they rebooted. A familiar window logo appeared, as the reboot process began.

Rarity looked closely at their screens.

"Hmmm....strange....they seem to be wearing some sort of computer helmet." Rarity said.

"Ummm, maybe we should just let Principal Celestia handle this Rarity." Fluttershy told her.

"Wait a mo," Rarity told her. "The reboot is done!"

The two men slowly lifted their heads up, as their screens recalibrated to their bodies. Finally, they stood straight, fully functional.

Rarity was the first to ask.

"Umm, are you two all right?"

Thomas looked at Rarity and did something unexpected.

He spoke.

"Yes," he replied in a robotic French accent. "We are fine, madamoiselle Rarity. And to answer your question, my name is Thomas Bangalter."

"And I, am Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo. And we are..."

They both struck a pose together and shouted in unison.

"DAFT PUNK!"

However, only Flutterhsy heard their band name, since Rarity fell to the floor in utter fangirling, after hearing Thomas's french accent. Their yelling, however attracted the attention of one person. A very important person.

"Excuse me young sirs," the person said. "I'm afraid we do not allow helmets in this school."

Fluttershy turned and gasped.

"Principal Celestia..." she whispered.

"So unless those helmets are stuck on you like another student's was, I'm going to have to ask you two to take them off."

Guy and Thomas looked at each other and nodded. Then they looked at Celestia.

"No. I am afraid we can't." Thomas spoke. "You see, we can't because we are not human after all."

"Huh." Principal Celestia said, unconvinced. "Really?"

"Yes." Thomas spoke. "Also, we have tried. Believe me, we can't. It's painful to."

"Well then, me and my assistant principal will succeed where you two have failed. Come with me." Principal Celestia motioned them to come.

Thomas and Guy looked at each other and shrugged. They then followed Celestia to the principal's office.

The door closed behind the two, as they were now inside the principal's office. Celestia told them to take a seat, and they did. They sat in the two chairs in front of her desk, as she took her place.

"Now that we are in a private place, it's time to be serious." Celestia deadpanned. "Please, take off your helmets. You two are humans, just like the rest of the students here."

Celestia then began a speech.

"You see, here at Canterlot High, we have standards and dress code ethics. Those ethics were not created just for fun, but to keep our students from doing things that will distract others from learning. We try our best to provide an excellent learning environment in this school..."


As Principal Celestia continued her speech, the two men drowned her out and began whispering to each other.

"I still can't believe we lost our grammy." Thomas said, dejectedly.

"I know man." Guy agreed. "and to top it all off, we are teenagers again!"

Thomas gasped. "Mon dieu! You are right! I feel so awkward and hormone-driven! I hope I don't get acne. That would be bad for my helmet."

A loud cough broke their conversation, as they looked back at Principal Celestia, who was not amused with them ignoring her.

"Well, it seems like you don't care for dress code policies, do you? Very well, I have no choice, but to transfer you to ano-"

"Just a moment Principal....eh..."

"Celestia." she told Thomas.

"Wow. That's a strange name." Guy said.

"Oh? And what is YOUR name young man?" Celestia asked.

"My name is Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo."

"And I am Thomas Bangalter. And together, we are..."

They then joined in unison once more.

"DAFT PUNK!"

Principla Celestia raised a brow.

"Oh. So you two are musicians?"

"Oui." Thomas told her. "From France."

"France? I've never heard of this country. France..."

"Oh, it's quite lovely," Guy told her. "It has lots of beautiful sights, like l'arc de triomphe, Rennes, the Eiffel Tower which is above our Daft C-Oomph!"

Guy couldn't finish his sentence, as Thomas elbowed him in the gut. Guy's helmet showed a sad face.

Guy laughed nervously. "Just the Eiffel Tower. No secret hideout or anything."

"I see." Principal Celestia said. "I'll tell you what. Since you two are from a different country, AND you are musicians, I'll have you two enrolled in my school. On one condition."

"And what condition is that, Madame Celestia?" Thomas asked.

"The annual National Canterlot Music Festival is coming soon. Bands from all around the nation's high schools are coming to compete in a contest to crown champions of music."

Guy perked up at the mention of the word "crown"

"Ooh! Just like the Grammys." Guy told Thomas.

"Grammys? Well, anyways, if you two will sign up for the roster of musicians and bands we have to represent us, not only will I let you two keep your helmets, but you will also have the chance to win the award."

Guy and Thomas looked at each other, and whispered.

"Well?" Celestia asked. "I'm not getting any younger."

"Okay. We'll do it, Madame Celestia."

"Excellent. Here are your schedules." she handed them schedules that she printed out. "Now, get out of my office. Lunch is about to start."

"Merci beaucoup!" Thomas said, as they left the office.

Principla Celestia sighed, as she started to organize some files.

Suddenly, Guy popped into her office.

"One more thing Madame Celestia."

"What is it Mr. Home....Mr. Christo?"

"For an older woman, you look quite young for your age."

Principal Celestia's cheeks started reddening.

"Ummm, well, thank you...Mr. Christo..."

Guy gave a thumbs up, then left the office once more, as the door closed.

Celestia sat there, confused by the ordeal.

"If he's going for Student of the Month, I'd say Mr. Christo is off to a good start..." she said to herself, blushing at his comment. She flipped her hair to the side and started working again, humming happily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't wait to see what type of music you guys play!" Pinkie said excitedly. "From what I can tell with all these computers and speakers, you guys play sone sorta techno music." she then proceeded to do the robot on top of the speaker she was on, as Guy pushed it.

"You could say that, Mademoiselle Pinkie." Thomas told her, as he was checking off the materials they needed for their set. Two other students were helping with the base, putting it in the gym.

"Okay, the pyramid base goes right here." Thomas pointed behind him. The two students carefully set up the base in the spot and then left to get the soundboards.

"Oooh! A pyramid!" Pinkie awed. Granted, the pyramid wasn't as big as the one they use at the concert, but it'll make do.

"Yes. It's still not complete though. We still need your tech guys to finish putting on the lighting system. This one is just a model we painted."

And it was painted white. Duh.

"Well, I got the poster for the contest!" Pinkie exclaimed. "They just printed it today! Check it out." she handed the poster to Thomas.

"Okay..." he said, as he examined the poster.

The background was blue, with music notes and guitars all around. And no, not the guitar from that Rainbow Rocks video. Heaven forbid that this story includes stuff from that. 'Join now! Let your creativity flow musically.'

Thomas rolled his visor eyes at the stupid metaphor. Then he saw something that made him jump. Lo and behold, their Grammy award was right in the center.

Below it, it said 'You could win this!'

"That's...that's our Grammy award!" Thomas exclaimed.

"Grammy award? What is that? An award for old people?" Pinkie chortled. "No, that's the new Music Festival award! They said they found the idea when a student gave the award to the board! In fact, the student was-"

"Thomas! Come here!" Guy interrupted, nudging at Thomas.

Thomas lookes up from the poster and followed Guy. There, Guy pointed at two students who were watching them mysteriously.

"Thomas," Guy whispered. "Don't they look extremley familiar?"

"Oh my god." Thomas replied "Not them..."

"You know Grillex and Deadr4t?" Pinkie asked them.

Guy and Thomas looked at her, then at themselves.

"Grillex?" Guy said

"Deadr4t?" Thomas added.

"Yeah! Those two are the meanest members of the music team. The only one who does the talking is Grillex, and Deadr4t is very rude."

Both men started chuckling to themselves.

"Their names are better here than back on Earth." Thomas joked.

"Uh-oh, here they come!" Pinkie warned them.

"Well well well," Grillex spoke to them. "Look at what we have here. A bunch of....oh, what's the word? Deadr4t, maybe you can help?"

Deadr4t nodded, and brought out her pen and paper. She started furiosly drawing, then finally stopped. She then showed a picture of a copying machine and a cat head to the two men.

"Maybe you can help me find the word I'm looking for boys." Grillex sneered at them.

The two of then looked at the picture carefully.

"Hmmm....copying...copying machine kitten....copying kitty machine copy....cop-"

Thomas interrupted Guy with a humph. "We are NOT copycats!"

Grillex laughed. "Oh really? Then why are you two wearing helmets? It's obvious you copied from my friend here."

Deadr4t nodded in agreement.

Thomas's visor filled with red.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! IF ANYTHING, DEADMOU5 COPIED OFF OF US!"

"Are you two not hearing right? Her name is Deadr4t. Must be those stupid helmets you're wearing. You didn't even copy her right. You forgot the ears!"

Grillex laughed, as she high fived Deadr4t.

"JE VAIS VOUS TUER!" Thomas yelled. Guy and Pinkie held him back, as Grillex left, laughing with Deadr4t.

Suddenly, a bell was ringing, as the halls suddenly began to come alive with sounds of people talking and walking.

"Well, it's time for lunch! C'mon you guys! I'll introduce you to my other friends!"

Pinkie grabbed them both and started leading them to the cafeteria. Thomas looked at Guy. They both agreed on one thing: Pinkie might be the most energetic person they have ever met.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thomas grabbed his tray, still fuming over their meeting with the two other musicians.

"Can you believe those two?" Thomas talked to Guy, who grabbed his own tray as well.

"Talking to us, like we're a bunch of amateurs! Ha! We'll show them. We'll win the contest, get back our grammy, then shove it in their faces!"

"Yeah. That's a good idea. Rehash the majority of the plot from a movie that was not written well and teeming with mistakes, like a bad OC story you would find anywhere in the 'New Stories' section of a fan fiction site."

Thomas stared at Guy, as his visor said "WTF?"

"What?" Thomas asked.

But before Guy could answer, a delicious sandwich caught Thomas's attention.

"Ooooh! Turkey and dill pickle!"

Thomas grabbed the sandwich, and a chocolate milk. Guy, not really feeling like eating something, grabbed an apple juice.

"OVER HERE!" They heard Pinkie yell at them, motioning them to sit next to her. Thomas grabbed his tray and went to her, with Guy following. From a distance, Thomas could see the two girls they've met earlier, and three others that were new to them.

They finally sat down in the two spots she saved for them.

"I'm glad you guys are here! I really want you two meet my other friends!" she went down the line across from them.

"You've already met Rarity and Fluttershy." she pointed out.

"That's Applejack, the hardest working person you would ever meet!" she said, pointing at the blonde, green-eyed female with orange skin.

"Howdy." she replied, tipping her hat.

"That's Rainbow Dash, the captain of ALL the sports teams, and the most AWESOMEST friend ever!"

"'Sup?" she said. She had magenta eyes, and prismatic colored hair.

"aaaaaand finally," Pinkie said, making a drumroll. "Sunset Shimmer!"

Sunset looked somberly at the two, and barely said a word. Her skin was a lighter orange than Applejack's, and her hair was a pattern of red and yellow stripes. Even though she closely resembled a terrible OC that is often used in stories, I like her. Not as much as Trixie mind you, but I sympathize with the character. I digress, though.

"Hi..." she replied softly.

Pinkie giggled nervously, then whispered into Thomas's ear.

"She's still a little bummed out over losing her ex-boyfriend AAAAND ruining our friendship to take over the school."

Thomas turned to Pinkie Pie with question marks on his visor.

"But don't worry! We're all friends again! Now, guys, I'd like you to meet Guy Manuel de Homem Christo..."

she pointed at Guy, who raised his hand in a wave.

"Allo." he spoke.

"and his friend, Thom-"

"Thomas Bangalter..." Rarity said dreamily. "He's from a foreign land, and hides behind a robot's mask for clandestine purposes, maybe because he doesn't feel like he'll ever be accepted. But I want to tell him just how wrong he is..." Rarity sighed, lovestruck over Thomas.

Everyone stared at Rarity, even Sunset Shimmer, who raised a brow.

Rarity noticed that she was proffessing her crush quite pubicly, and started blushing. She gave a nervous smile, and looked away in embarressment.

"Yeah...that's his name. They're in a band together called Daft Punk."

"Daft Punk?" Rainbow asked. "That sounds AWESOME!"

Applejack wanted to ask them something that she heard.

"So, ah heard you two fellers met Grillex and Deadr4t a while ago."

Thomas groaned and held his head in his hands.

"Yes. We have. I hate them so much. They are très ennuyeux."

Applejack gave him a funny look.

"Beg pardon?"

"It means 'very annoying'. It's french, darling." Rarity chimed in.

"Oui. That is correct." Thomas said. "Where did you learn to speak french?" he asked.

"Oh! I've taken one or two trips to Griffonsburg before. That's where I fell in love...with that country, that is."

"Griffonsburg? Is that supposed to be France in this universe?" Thomas asked.

"France? What's a France?" Rarity asked.

"It's a beautiful country with-" Guy was about to tell her, before Thomas shushed him.

"Don't tell her!" he whispered. "She's got fangirl written all over her. Who knows what she might do if she learns where we're from. Remember Pharrell Williams?"

Guy had a scowl on his helmet.

"Damn you, Pharrell Williams..." Guy said.

"Say, aren't you fellers in that music festival team of ours?" Applejack asked them.

Thomas and Guy turned to her.

"Oui. We are."

"Oh, I bet you're going to show those jerks Grillex and Deadr4t a thing or two!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'D like to see them get taken down a peg."

"Yes! We are going to crush them!" Thomas said. "That'll teach them to treat us like amateurs."

Thomas started laughing loudly, then Guy joined in. Soon, Pinkie joined as well, guffawing alongside them.

Thomas then started to calm down slowly, as did Guy. Finally, the laughing stopped.

Thomas sighed, wiping away an imaginary tear from his visor eye.

"Ummm....excuse me Thomas...." Fluttershy spoke softly.

"Hmm?" Thomas looked at her.

"Are you able to eat with those helmets on?"

Thomas stared at her for a moment, then stared awkwardly at Guy.

"Damn it." Thomas cursed.

After somehow finding a way to eat their food (they used teleporter rays from their helmets to teleport the food inside their helmets. It was very messy. Well, inside their helmets, that is.), they return to the gym to see that their soundboards have just arrived, along with some very high-tech computers. Jk, they were actually computers from the library, but they will have to do. Daft Punk will find a way. Thomas and Guy quickly entered the pyramid in excitement.

"Alright! It is nearly complete!" Thomas said cheerfully. "Now all we need is...eh..."

"Eh, Thomas. None of our music software is here." Guy told him.

"Wow. These are really crappy computers."

"What do you mean?" Pinkie asked them. "These computers work just fine in the library."

"No wonder." Thomas said, finding his answer. "These are ordinateurs de la bibliothèque."

Thomas shook his head.

"Sorry Pinkie, it's just that these computers are a bit eh, low-tech for us. Nothing like our computers."

"Hold on man. I think I have a solution." Guy said.

Thomas looked at Guy, curious to see his answer. Guy lifted up his thumb, then bent it back. The top popped, and revealed a golden flash drive.

"Guy!" Thomas exclaimed. "When did you surgically replace your thumb with a USB?"

"I didn't." he replied. "This is just fan ficton magic."

"Ooh! That's a very strange thumb you have there." Pinkie admired. "Shiny..."

"Oui. It is. Now..." Guy then went to the computer and inserted his thumb into the USB port. Instantaneously, electricity flowed all over him, the computer, and the monitor. Guy's helmet flashed multiple colors, as the computer and monitor started changing. The monitor changed to white, and got slimmer. A white triangle glowed in the back of it.

The computer also changed, by coming Alive. When Guy finally pulled out, the computer transformed with electronic appendages. It grabbed the other computer, and combined it with itself, transforming again. However, it was the same size it was at thr beginning, save for it's white color and triangle logo. Once the other monitor was hooked up to the computer, it too changed to match the other monitor. Their whole set was now complete.

"Wow...that was AWESOME!"

We should totally have a counter to see how many times she says that word in this story.


While the six girls were admiring their setup, the two boys looked over and saw Grillex and Deadr4t, playing whatever style music they played. Dubstep, I think. People call it different names. Just call it dubstep ya hippies!

Anyho, there was a small gathering of students raving to their music, as it blasted their speakers.

Thomas scoffed.

"Aucun talent, no talent, our music is much more professional." Thomas said. "It is love, beauty and the very essence of the worl-"

"Your music is better?" Rainbow asked.

"But of course!" Thomas replied.

"Well why don't we hear some of it? Go on, play us a song!"

Thomas looked at Guy.

"Eh Guy? Wanna lay down a smooth single for the ladies?"

Guy had a smiley face on his helmet, as he gave Thomas a thumbs up and nodded.

"Alright mademoiselles! Get ready to rock!"

After a short moment of retreiving their files, they started playing the song they performed at the grammys.

It started off quiet, barely audible on their speakers. Then, the song eventually got louder. It reached it's max volume, as the rhythm began to blast.

Soon, the six girls found themselves bobbing their heads to the music. There was something catchy about the song, something that got them moving. Then the line came in. Three words that added to the funky melody. Soon, Rainbow was tapping her feet with the beat. (Ha. Intentional bad rhyme.) The song went on, as people from Grillex and Deadr4t's side soon heard the music. They were interested, curious over the funky tune. They soon left, one by one, and went to Daft Punk's side. This did not go unnoticed though, as Grillex and Deadr4t started realizing that Daft Punk was taking all their audience. They started getting angry. Well, Grillex was. It was hard to tell with Deadr4t, cause she had a huge smiling mouse head on her.

The people began dancing to the beat, and soon enough, so did the rest of the girls. Well, Sunset Shimmer didn't really dance much. But she did smile. And she missed smiling. It felt good to smile One More Time. Her smile grew bigger when she stumbled upon a hilarious sight. There was Rarity, dancing her butt off. Quite literally. I think she was twerking, or maybe she was just shaking her rump. Ya know. The zoom-zoom-zoom-and a boom boom? Ah forget it. Either way, people were staring. Even Thomas caught a glimpse.

'Oh god. Not another Miley Cyrus.' he thought to himself, while he blushed under his helmet. Not cause he liked Miley Cyrus, hell no. It's just that he accidently caught a glimpse of "London and France" when she was shaking her booty. All it took was that distraction, and Thomas accidently stopped the music. Everyone stopped dancing, except for Rarity, who was still shaking like Shakira. Wow. Shakira and Rarity. That's a comparison I'll never get out of my head now.

Rarity soon realized that everyone else wasn't dancing anymore, and she stopped. Awkward silence ensued, as she nervously smiled and stood with her hands held behind her.

Sunset Shimmer couldn't hold it in anymore, and started laughing. Rarity gave her a dirty look.

"I'm sorry Rarity." Sunset chuckled. "It's been a while since I've laughed like that."

Rarity was angry at first, but then smiled along with her.

"Oh, I do suppose I did look a little ridiculous."

"A little?" Sunset replied.

"Okay, maybe a lot."

They both chuckled with each other, as did the rest of the people.

"Thanks Rarity." Sunset said.

"Your welcome darling." Rarity replied.

"And thank you Daft Punk!" Sunset said to the men. "You two have made me feel happy again."

The people clapped and cheered, as Daft Punk bowed.

"Just who do you two think you are?!" Grillex's voice was heard over the applause. The students became silent, as they parted to show the two female musicians that were standing there, arms crossed.

"We are Daft Punk." Thomas said matter-of-factly. "That's who we think we are."

Guy nodded in agreement.

"Well, 'DAFT STUNK', that was quite a jerk move you guys pulled off. Stealing our audience away from us!"

"Okay, first of all, it's Daft PUNK. Second of all, we can't help it if our music is better than yours." He sneered.

"Better? Please! Your song is just three stinkin' words repeated over and over again to a mediocre beat! I'd rather stick a nail in my head than listen to your music."

That angered Thomas even more.

"I'll have you know that that song reached #1 on dance song charts worldwide. And that was JUST from our DEBUT album!"

"Ha! Prove it!" Grillex retorted.

Thomas was about to speak, but then he remembered that he is in another dimension.

"Guy!" Thomas called.

Guy looked back to Thomas. "Oui?"

"Look up our song on the internet."

"On it." Guy said. He pressed his hand to the side of his helmet, as his helmet began looking through the internet. Well, he tried to, but when he opened Internet Explorer, it failed to connect.

"Huh. No connection."

"What do you mean 'No connection'?"

"It's not connecting...hold on...let me try the internet they have here..."

Guy's screen opened the school's internet, and it immediately popped up to Equestria Daily. He put the title of their song in the search engine. The page finished loading, but was filled with ads for "Around the World trips" and global cruiselines.

"Huh. Lemme try..."

Guy then looked up their names.

The results were basically not helpful. There was nothing but punk rock bands and something about a fried fish recipe.

"See? You can't prove it. You two are just full of hot air. All show and no talent." Grillex said with venom.

"We'll show YOU talent!" Thomas "And by the way, what kind of name is Grillex? It sounds like a bad blender."

"Excuse me?!" Grillex said, insulted.

"Yeah, and Deadr4t? Please. Sounds like something that should be hated not liked."

Deadr4t fumed over his comment, clenching her fists.

"No, you mean, Deadr-FOUR-t. Because it's suddenly cool to put numbers in your name."

Both men laughed, along with a few chuckles from the crowd.

"Why you...that's it! Deadr4t. Time to teach these losers a lesson."

Deadr4t nodded and quickly grabbed Guy. Guy struggled, as Deadr4t held him.

"Hnng! Let go of me!"

Thomas was shocked over how quick Deadr4t grabbed his partner. However, that distracted him from Grillex, who immediately put him in a headlock.

"Now, let's see what these copycats look like WITHOUT their helmets."

She then started tugging on Thomas's helmet. His visor had the word "OWOWOWOWOW" on it.

"Ow! Stop it! Please!"

"Thomas!" Guy yelled.

This torture would have gone, had not Assistant Principal Luna stepped right in.

"That's enough!" she exclaimed.

Grillex let go of Thomas, as she looked fearfully at Luna. Deadr4t did the same. Guy ran to Thomas, as did the rest of the girls. Well, Rarity arrived first before Guy, obviously.

"You two," Luna commanded. "In detention. Now."

"Yes ma'am..." Grillex said sorrowfully. She and Deadr4t began walking out of the gym. She gave Thomas one last dirty look, before she left.

"Are you two all right?" Luna asked them.

Thomas stood up, and straightened his helmet.

"Yes. We're fine, Madame..."

"Luna." she replied. "I'm the assistant principal."

"Merci beaucoup Madame Luna." Thomas said.

"Umm, that's a thank you, right?" Luna asked.

Thomas nodded.

"Ah. Good. I'm a little rusty in my french." she smiled. "So, you two are quite talented musicians."

"You agree with us, no?" Thomas asked.

"Oh Yeah." Luna said. "I was walking through the hallway when I heard you playing your song. I'll admit, I did move my head a little to the beat. That was when I noticed the fight as well"

"Yes. Thank you for stopping it Madame Luna. I don't know what would've happened if my helmet came off."

"Say, aren't you two boys in the Music Festival team?"

"Oui. We are."

"Well, since I just sent those two students to detention, maybe you could show off your music talents tomorrow night."

"What do you mean?" Thomas asked.

"We're having a ball tomorrow night, and our dj's used to be them two. However, since they're going to be in detention, maybe this is the chance to show everyone your talent."

Thomas thougt about it, then nodded.

"Sounds good. We'll do it!"

The crowd cheered, as Thomas high fived Guy.

"Excellent. Be there at 6 for the rehearsal. The ball starts at 7."

"Oui madame Luna. We'll be there."

She left the gym, as the bell rung, telling the students that the next hour has begun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

School was over, and the six girls were walking with the men in the halls.

"You guys are SO lucky!" Pinkie shouted. "You get to play at one of the biggest events of our school, well, before the Music Festival!"

"You two darlings are in for a treat!" Rarity said, getting quite close to Thomas. "The ball is a place where people would ask each other out, then dance in a night full of happiness and love..." she then laid her head on Thomas's shoulder.

"Only the best DJ's get chosen. And no doubt, you two ARE the best." she smiled at Thomas.

If Thomas's helmet allowed blushes to appear, his blush would've illuminated the night. However, all Rarity got was a look from Thomas.

"Erm, yes we are indeed...the best! Heh heh..." Thomas said, nervously.

Rarity sighed happily.

"Hey. We never got to ask more about you guys." Rainbow chimed in.

"Is it true?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Are you two really not humans?"

"Oui. We are cyborgs."

"With a very handsome french accent..." Rarity cooed.

"Cyborgs? Wowie! Are you two from the future?" Pinkie said

"Non. We just became this way."

"How? If you don't mind me asking." Fluttershy asked.

"It just happened. Like, a huge explosion, then poof! Cyborgs."

"Interesting..." Rarity said, as she grabbed Thomas's arm and walked with him.

"Eh, what are you doing?" Thomas asked.

"Nothing..." she hummed innocently

Guy giggled at Thomas's predicament.

"So, tell us about this 'Canterlot High'." Thomas asked.

"It's the best school of all of Equestria!" Pinkie chirped.

"Not too long ago, Sunset Shimmer here tried to destroy it." Applejack explained.

Sunset Shimmer grimaced at the memory.

"Yes. I did. I let my emotions and greed get the best of me, and it cost me my friends." she said, signifying to the girls. "It took Twilight Sparkle to bring me back to reality, and truly cherish friendship."

"Twilight Sparkle? Who is she?" Thomas asked.

"She's the girl that I stole a crown from." Sunset replied. "Like you guys, she too was from an alternate universe. She took my place when I left her universe for this one, and since then, I've had spite for her when she was chosen to be an Element of Harmony."

"But now, I have learned my lesson. It is foolish to hold resentment and anger against others. It's not productive, and never turns out alright. She taught me the meaning of friendship, and here I am today. I lost everything to my hate. My boyfriend, my freedom, everything. But my friends helped me get through it all. I wish Twilight was here, so I can thank her for all her help."

"Wow." Thomas said. "This Twilight Sparkle, she sounds very important to you."

"Yes. Also, cause she's a princess back in her dimension." Sunset smiled.

"Really?"

Sunset nodded.

Thomas's visor then read the word "Great" again.

"Perhaps we should talk about how to beat Grillex and Deadr4t at the music festival." Applejack spoke. "They're tough competition."

"Yeah. They've won the representation contests every time! But each time, they never win the Music Festival Award." Pinkie frowned.

"Yes. Let's face it, they're the only GOOD artists out there." Rainbow added. "No offense to our team, but other than you and them, they hardly make any quality music."

Thomas thought to himself for a second.

"Sounds like we'll need all the help we can get in order to beat them." he planned.

They were finally outside, when Thomas finally realized something. Exclamation points lit up his visor.

They had nowhere to stay.

"Oh no! We don't have a place to stay!"

"Wait, you guys don't have a house?" Rainbow asked. "I thought you did, since you two are worldwide celebrities."

"We do, but that's back on Earth! Now where will we go?"

"Ooh! I'll be happy to provide both of you with housing and bedding." Rarity sung. "I'll even make the cushions extra cozy for your aching head Tommy."

"Oh no you don't little miss fangirl." Rainbow told her. "I don't want them unable to sleep tonight because they'll be uncomfortable around you."

"Why, I never!" Rarity scoffed. "Tommy, I don't make you uncomfortable, do I?" Rarity asked.

"Well....ehh...." Thomas scratched the back of his head.

"See?" Rainbow told her. "Anyone else wanna give them a place to crash?"

Fluttershy hid behind her hair, avoiding eye contact.

"Umm, I don't think my parents will let me. I'm still grounded." Sunset Shimmer told them.

"Sorry. I'm too busy tonight sugarcube." Applejack told them.

"Same here. And that makes me sad. I TOTALLY wanted to have a sleepover! Never had one with guys before." Pinkie added.

Oh Pinkie. Let's hopefully keep it that way. At least for now. Until you're old enough. Don't wanna end up on Teen Mom or anything.

"No one?" Rainbow looked around.

"Well, since no one is willing or able to, I shall-"

"Fiiiiine....they can stay with me..." Rainbow interrupted Rarity.

"What? No! I won't allow it! You're house is a pigstye!"

"I know, but whose house has a whole entire room full of beds?" Rainbow bragged.

Lord knows what happens in that room. Oh look, clopfic idea.

"You do..." Rarity growled. "I never got why you have so much beds in one guest room."

"I'm always prepared for people who wanna crash with me. I'm just not really willing to clean up the beds after they've gone though."

Try to keep it as nonsexual as you can here man. This is a family show after all.

"Wow." Thomas said. "Thank you mademoiselle Rainbow."

"Ah, just call me Rainbow. There's no need for that fancy shmancy french stuff."

"Alright."

They then went their separate ways, as Daft Punk followed Rainbow to her car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in Detention...

Grillex was pouting, as the monitor for the room fell asleep. She scowled, vowing revenge against them.

Suddenly, a tap on her shoulder caught her attention. She turned and saw her friend Deadr4t. She had a drawing in her hand, and handed it to Grillex.

Grillex looked over the drawing, as a wicked grin spread on her face.

"Yes..." she whispered. "I love it..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Home Sweet Home." Rainbow said, opening the door. Rarity was right. Her place WAS a pigstye. Socks and shoes, nail paint, balls of various sizes.
.....
Damn it.

Continuing, a leftover pizza box on her table, and a completley filled kitchen sink. I doubt she cooks, since it's filled with nothing but plates. The floor was covered in dirty clothes most everywhere and kids toys spread everywhere. Guy saw a pair of panties in the floor, and his screen went completely blushing red.

"Whoop! Better pick that up!" Rainbow said, noticing the panties. She grabbed it and threw it on a pile of other panties.

"This place seems...nice." Guy said.

"Yeah. It's not much, but, it's home." Rainbow said. She started taking off her shoes and threw them to a corner with other shoes. She took off her socks, leaving her barefoot. She looked at her socks and thought for a moment. She then shrugged and threw them behind her.

"You two want anything to eat?"

"No, we're not hungry." Thomas said.
"You?"

"Well, duh! It is my house." she said. She walked over to the leftover pizza and grabbed a slice.

"It's no Daft Cave, but it'll do." Guy whispered to Thomas.

"Oui."

"So..." Rainbow said, talking with food in her mouth. "You two ever bunk with a girl?"

Guy looked at Thomas.

"Eh, no. Not really." Guy replied.

"Well, I guess there's a first time for everything." Rainbow smiled. "Alright, here are the rules. Number 1, no one goes in my room but me. Capiche?"

"Oui." They both nodded.

"...Rule two, no french in my house. I told you, it's not necessary."

They both sighed.

"Fine."

"Rule three, no staying up TOO late and making loud noises. I got sports to do early."

"Okay."

"Finally, rule four, NO ONE goes in my room but me."

"Blah blah blah, we get it. You like your privacy." Thomas said, moving a pile of shirts to sit on the couch.

"Yep." Rainbow replied. "So, now what?"

Guy stares at Thomas.

"Ehh, is there any football on tonight?"

"Football? It's Thursday. Of course there's football on." Rainbow said, as she sat next to Thomas. Guy followed and sat gingerly next to Rainbow.

Rainbow grabbed the tv remote, as she curled her feet up on the couch. She turned the tv on, flipping through channels. She finally found the channel she was looking for.

"Here we go. CBC."

The theme played, as the game started. Both teams on the gridiron, facing off.

"Aww yea!" Rainbow shouted.

Thomas sighed.

"No, not football. FOOTball."

"Huh?" Rainbow asked. "Whaddya mean? This IS football."

"Oh. I forgot. You Americans call our sport 'soccer'." Thomas replied.

"Ameriwhat?"

"Nothing." Thomas then motioned for the remote. "May I?"

"Knock yourself out." Rainbow gave him the remote.

Thomas started flipping through multiple channels, with one hand on his head. Finally, he found a channel of two English men commentating over a soccer game.

"Alright! It just started!"

Rainbow sighed. "I'd rather watch football, but you are my guests so, yeah."

The game went on late at night, and eventually, the game ended. The Saddle Arabia Stallions won against Griffonsburg.

Guy was the only one awake, as the tv went to static. He looked over at Thomas, whose visor was lighting up dimly with each snore.

Then he realized something that gave him butterflies. Rainbow was asleep, holding his arm and using his body as a pillow.

Guy's screen went red, as he slowly got up.

Rainbow barely stirred, as she kept sleeping. Guy had a hard time deciding what to do. He couldn't just leave her there. This was her house after all. He decided that he should help her get to bed, even if that broke her #1 rule.

He carefully put his hands under her body. One hand on her back, the other under her legs.

Guy could tell she was athletic, her legs were toned. Not that he was copping a feel, mind you.

He lifted her up slowly, as he started walking towards the hall. The floor was cleaner here, thankfully. There were two doors on the left. One was closed, and looked as if it was hardly used. The other, however, was wide open.

Guy assumed that the furthest door was her room. He walked all the way and entered. His assumption was right, as he saw a room that was surprisingly neat. A drawer with a mirror was on his right, as the bed was filled with stuffed animals. Mostly of ponies with a color scheme similiar to the Blue Angels air stunt team.

Guy cleared up the toys and set Rainbow down. He softly put the blanket on her, and began to walk away.

But then, he stepped on a squeaky ball.

Rainbow woke up, and groggily saw Guy, standing as still as possible.

"You...broke my rule..." she said tiredly.

Guy slowly looked back at Rainbow.

His mind raced. What should he do? It was all down to this moment. Then Guy had an idea. He remembered that he too was capable of having rainbow colors on his head.

He touched his helmet, which turned on his rainbow lights.

Rainbow was mesmerized with the lights, which acted as a night light. She felt her eyelids get heavier, as she yawned.

Soon, her eyes were closed, as she fell asleep, a smile on her face.

Guy also had a smile on his helmet. He left the room and slowly closed the door.

He returned to the living room to see Thomas still asleep.

He sighed.

"Great. Now I have to clean this up all by myself."

He looked around all the clothes and dishes and items everywhere. The piles of trash that did not seem to end.

Guy facepalmed.

"I'm going to need recharging in the morning after this."

The Game of Love

View Online

The birds chirped outside Rainbow Dash's window. They peeked in to see Rainbow, head deep into her pillow. One leg was outside of her covers, as she was lying down on her stomach. She snored softly, sleeping blissfully. Suddenly, an alarm clock broke her beauty sleep, ringing quite loudly.

Rainbow groaned, as her hand groggily reached over to her dresser and hit the top of the clock.

She slowly sat up on her bed, stretching herself awake. Which is more than what I could ever do. I'm just lucky that I actually open my eyes at all.

Rainbow yawned, as she put on her slippers. Suddenly, she remembered last night.

"I made it very clear..." Rainbow said to herself, getting angry at Guy breaking her rules. She quickly changed her clothes and stormed out of her room.

She huffed, fuming over last night's violation.
.....
That didn't sound right.

"GUY!" she yelled out. "What did I say about staying out of my-"

Rainbow stopped dead in her tracks, as she saw a marvelous sight in front of her. Everything was clean and spotless. The clothes were picked up, washed, dried, and in a basket. So was everything else. The table was clean, and the kitchen smelled busy.

Rainbow walked over to see Guy, in an apron saying "Kiss the Chef", while a cord was attached to the back of his head.

"Good morning Ms. Dash!" Guy said, waving his spatula.

The smiley face on his helmet sort of calmed Rainbow Dash. Well, that and the fact that the kitchen is being used again. It's been ages.

"Guy? What are you doing?" Rainbow asks.

"Hush," Thomas spoke, still asleep on the couch. "I'm trying to get more sleep..."

Rainbow rolled her eyes, then entered the kitchen. Guy was making pancakes, along with some bacon and eggs. The aroma of it caused Rainbow's stomach to growl.

"So," Rainbow asked. "Did you clean up around here?"

Guy nodded, as the smiley face returned.

"Umm...thanks."

"No problem Ms. Dash." Guy replied

"I told you already, it's just Rainbow..." she blushed.

"Alright, 'Rainbow', please, have a seat."

Rainbow did so, as Guy served her a plate of pancakes along with some eggs and bacon. She immediately started devouring her meal, hungrily eating. She then paused and awkwardly stared at Guy. He poured a glass of orange juice and gave it to her.

Rainbow laughed nervously.

"Ummm, aren't you gonna eat?"

Guy shook his head.

"I'm already full. I was attached to my charger all night."

"All night?" Rainbow asked, surprised "Did you get any sleep? You have a big performance tonight, remember?"

"Oh, I'm fine! I'm super awake." Guy replied.

"You see, since we're not human, we don't need food or sleep. We can survive off of charging our batteries. Right now, I'm at 98%."

"Huh. Like a phone."

Guy nodded.

"We only get tired when our batteries are low, like Thomas's. Then we go into sleep mode. When we sleep, it automatically recharges. Still, we can go without sleep or food. We can get hungry, but we don't have to eat anything."

"That's pretty awesome." Rainbow said.

She finished her meal then checked her watch.

"Shoot! We've gotta go!" Rainbow chugged her orange juice and quickly grabbed her backpack.

"Come with me!" she told Guy.

Guy followed her outside, as they got in the car. She turned the key into the ignition and started driving to school.

Guy saw two backpacks in the back, filled.

"Those backpacks are for you two." Rainbow told him. "My friends had some leftover from the enrollment deal, so they left them in my car. It's got everything you need. Books, pencils, ya know."

Guy grabbed one of them.

"Thanks."

"No prob."

Guy then looked down in shame.

"Listen, about last night."

"Just forget about it, ok?" Rainbow said. "I'm glad you did nothing wrong, but I like my privacy. I thank you for...being a gentleman..." Rainbow said the last part with an uncomfortable blush.

"You're welcome Ms. Dash."

"I said to call me Rainbow."

"Okay Rainbow."

They drove on in silence, and it stayed like that.

Until Guy spoke.

"Eh, Rainbow? Where's Thomas?"

Rainbow slammed on the brakes.

"Shoot!" she exclaimed. "I forgot all about him! I better go back."

"No, no," Guy assured her. "He'll be fine. Besides, he could use the excercise."

"Are you sure?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah man. He's fine. I got a spare charger here for him anyways."

"Okay..." Rainbow started going foward again.

'That'll teach him for not letting me keep my cat Pixel...' Guy thought to himself.

The car finally pulled up to student parking, then they got out, with Guy holding both his backpack and Thomas'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey guys." Rainbow sat next to the girls in the library. "What's up?"

"Not much." Applejack said.

"I aced my history test last hour!" Pinkie said excitedly.

A shush from the Ms. Cheerilee, the librarian, scared Pinkie.

Pinkie sank back down to her seat.

I've always wondered why the ponies who look old enough to be someone's parents are roughly the same size as everyone else. The only exceptions are Big Mac, Shining Armor, Cheese Sandwich, Fancypants, and Prince Blueblood. Ugh...I hate that guy. He's a dingus.

"I'm just thinking about the ball tonight..." Sunset said dejectedly. She sighed, as she continued staring at the table.

"Oh yes! The ball!" Rainbow remembered. "I totally can't wait!"

"Where is Thomas?" Rarity wondered.

"Huh? Oh, he'll be here soon." Rainbow said.

"What do you mean? Did you not take him with you?!" Rarity said, starting to hyperventilate.

"No, I forgot. But Guy told me he'll-"

"YOU FORGOT THOMAS?!" Rarity shrieked.

Another shush from Cheerilee. Also, I just realized that Shining Armor is supposed to be younger than his parents, yet he is like twice their height. What logic is behind that? Cheerilee is probably around the same age he is, yet he's taller than her. It's quite strange.

Where was I? Oh yes, Rarity's freakout.

"What do you mean you 'forgot' him?!" Rarity hissed.

"Rarity, calm down. Guy told me he'd be fine. He needed the excercise anyway."

Rarity was beet red.

"He is in no way out of shape! His body is so toned, and his arms are rock solid."

"That's cause we're cyborgs." Guy told her. "Our arms are made of titanium."

"Well, he's still very fit. In fact, the fittest young man I've ever seen. I wonder if he's as toned as in my dreams..." Rarity began to daydream.

That's when everyone was staring awkwardly at Rarity.

"What?" she asked.

But before the awkwardness could continue, a certain person with a robot helmet burst into the library.

Everyone turned to see Thomas, panting heavily. Cheerilee gave him a loud shush, as he walked towards the girls.

He sat next to Guy, still panting.

"Umm...are you oka-"

But before Guy could finish asking, Thomas punched him in the arm.

"Ow!" Guy said, rubbing his arm.

"Thomas! Oh, darling, are you alright?" Rarity asked worriedly.

Thomas said nothing, as his screen showed a battery signal, showing him at 67%.

Guy looked, then took out the charger. Thomas grabbed it and connected it to an outlet behind them. Immediatley, the battery charge level was going up quite quickly.

Thomas panted a little more, finally regaining his breath as he charged.

"Yes mademoiselle Rarity, I am fine. However, this imbécile forgot to wake me up!"

"Hey man. You said you wanted to sleep."

Thomas sighed.

"I hope this isn't because I couldn't let you keep your cat Pixel the first time I saw it."

"Oh no, I've already passed on about that."

Thomas crossed his arms.

"Mm-hmm." he said, in an unbelieving tone. "Well, now I'm late for half the school day because of you."

"Hey man. You snooze, you lose. Besides, Rainbow did say no staying up too late."

"I also said something else..." Rainbow said below her breath.

"You two should be ashamed of yourselves! Leaving poor Tommy alone, by himself." Rarity said, as she moved to sit next to him.

Rainbow rolled her eyes, while Rarity got out a hankerchief and began wiping Thomas's helmet. I don't know why, since he never sweats, but whatever.

"There there Thomas, Rarity is here to make you feel all better."

"Well, he stayed up too late and paid the price. Besides, he'll be fine. Just keep him charging, and he'll be 100% in no time." Rainbow explained.

"Really? Neat-o!" Pinkie said.

Suddenly, the bell rang.

"Welp! Time for next hour!" Applejack said.

The five girls, along with Guy talked excitedly, as they left the library, leaving Thomas alone with Rarity. When they both realized they were left alone, Thomas's visor glowed red.

"Damn it Guy!" Thomas exclaimed.

Yet again, Cheerile shushed him. Wow. She didn't even pick up on his curse. Lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the girls were released and Daft Punk was done recharging, they headed towards the gym to check on their set.

The pyramid looked even more impressive this time. The tech team finally installed the lighting into it and added the panels. Now, all it needed was a bit something extra. By request from Guy, they put a USB port that connected to the entire lighting system in the pyramid in the back. At first, they were confused at his request. But Guy assured them that it is completely neccessary.

With the USB ready, Guy inserted his thumb-drive. Instantly, the pyramid started changing. The panels became even more high-tech, as the entire pyramid linked to Guy's motherboard. Guy then took out his thumb, as the pyramid was complete, flashing multiple lights outwards. The girls stood in awe at the pyramid, with Pinkie jumping up and down.

"This is gonna be the best ball EVER!" she exclaimed.

"Okay, now I just need to..." Guy walked over and high fived Thomas. They shared data through the Contact, like a Samsung Galaxy would. Another reason why Samsung phones are best phones.

"Okay. I'm linked too." Thomas told him.

"Okay. We're ready for tonight." Guy told them.

"Excuse me, but do you two have any suits to wear for the ball?" Rarity asked.

Thomas had question marks on his visor.

"Eh, can't we just wear the suits we have now?" Thomas asked.

"Good heavens no!" Rarity exclaimed. "Those two costumes of yours are excruciatingly boring! Just black? That's so last year."

I doubt it was ever popular in their universe, save for Flash Sentry, but what do I know? I ain't no fashion designer. I'm just spewing what's on my mind here.

Anyways, Thomas shrugged.

"Well, I guess we'll have to buy new suits."

"Oh nonsense darling. I'll be more than happy to make your suits for you." Rarity told them.

"Ehh, I don't want to be rude mademoiselle Rarity," Thomas began. "But I don't think you'll get the design that embodies us correctly. I don't doubt that you are talented, but I don't want to bother you with things like this. Me and Guy will just buy some suits at th-"

"Oh, enough of that. I insist!" Rarity interrupted. "I might surprise you Thomas, also, do you two actually have any money?"

Thomas checked his pockets, as did Guy. Nothing. Except for a paper clip. I dunno. Maybe they could get a penny or two from that.

Thomas sighed.

"Alright, we accept your proposition."

Rarity clapped her hands excitedly.

"We have no time to lose! I need to take measurements immediately." Rarity said.

She took out a measuring tape from her pocket.

"Now, extend your arm for me please..."

"Eh, why?" Thomas asked.

"Because I need to know your arm length darling." Rarity told him.

We should also have a counter for how many times Rarity says "Darling" in this story.

"Now, extend your arm."

Thomas gingerly extended his right arm out, as Rarity measured.

"Mm-hmm...okay, now for your body..."

Guy took a seat at the pyramid, watching the situation unfurl.

'Wow.' he thought to himself. 'This Rarity chick, she is quite the le fou...'

"Oui!" Pinkie spoke in a french accent. "That is correct!"

Guy nearly hit the roof of the pyramid, as he found Pinkie behind him.

Yep. Breaking not only the 4th wall, but the consciences of other beings. Only Pinkie.

"Yep! Only me!"

.......

"Pinkie, where did you come from?"

"I was bored talking to the girls, so I just went to see how you were doing." Pinkie smiled. "By the way, Rarity is only this crazy when it's about clothes or guys. I remember this one time she had a HUGE crush on my history teacher, Mr. Fancypants. Also, she used to date a Student Council member named Blueblood, but then she found out he was a real jerk. So she dumped him."

Yeah. Screw him. No one messes with my favorite pony.

"But I thought I was your favorite..." Pinkie looked up with sad eyes.

Okay, Pinkie, stop doing this. You've only officially broken the fourth wall once in this universe. Well, technically two. But still, you're not yet qualified in my book.

"But everyone else writes me like that!" Pinkie whined.

Guy facepalmed.

I don't care Pinkie. I'm not everybody else.

"Well what do I have to do to be qualified?"

Break the 4th wall in the show/movie as much times as Deadpool did in his game.

"Ohh....that's tough..." Pinkie whistled.

Yeah. He's sort of a pro at tha-

Guy's helmet read "Get back on track".

....

Sorry.

The bell rang once more.

"Oh look!" Thomas said exasperatingly "It's time for lunch! We uh, better go and eat."

"Nuh-uh-uh! You're staying right here Tommy." Rarity said. She then turned to the girls.

"Girls, would you be so kind as to bring me my lunch? I would be most grateful."

"Sure thing Rarity." Rainbow replied. "We're probably all gonna eat here anyway."

"Thank you!" Rarity sung.

"Do ya want anything Guy?" Applejack asked.

"Non. You all go ahead. I'll just charge myself here."

"Okie-Dokie-Loki!" Pinkie chimed. The girls started to walk to the cafeteria.

Ya know. I think it was a little hypocritical of me saying Pinkie is not qualified to break the 4th wall, when I have multiple cases of 4th wall breaks in this story. So Pinkie, I changed my mind. You can break the fourth wall.

"I can? SWEET!" She exclaimed, as her friends stared at her down the hallway.

Rarity, who was still with them, then asked Thomas to lift both arms up.

Thomas did so, as Rarity wrapped the tape around his waist.

"Alright...fairly average waistline...I'm not surprised...you're quite toned here."

This would've been awkward enough, if Rarity wasn't in his gluteous maximus area.

"Well, I do try to keep in shape," Thomas said, his ego overpowering the awkwardness.

"And it's working! You are fit as a fiddle." Rarity praised.

"Oh, stop it you." Thomas said playfully.

The girls returned with their lunch. Rainbow handed Rarity her lunch, who placed it on a nearby chair.

They all sat down with each other, laughing and conversing. Then, Sunset Shimmer walked in. Her face was gloomy, as she sat near the pyramid. She sighed, as she played with her carrot sticks.

Rarity noticed her sitting away from everyone else, and put up her tape. She walked over to Sunset.

"What's the matter darling?" Rarity asked. "You look down in the dumps."

"It's nothing. I'm fine." Sunset replied somberly.

"Oh, but it is SOMETHING. I can tell." Rarity pressed on. "Come on. Out with it."

"Well, its just that...well, I sort of...oh, forget it."

"Now now Sunset," Rarity said, sitting right next to her. "I'm your friend. Whatever is troubling you, I will help you as much as I can." Rarity grabbed her hand.

"Really?" Sunset asked.

Rarity smiled and nodded.

"Well, okay...you know how the ball is tonight?"

"Of course! And it will be a great one as well."

"Well," Sunset continued. "I wanna ask this guy to the ball..."

"Oh really? Good for you Sunset! Who is the lucky young man you like?"

Sunset's lips quivered.

"My ex..."

Rarity's smile faded, as she took in her words.

"Oh...Flash Sentry..."

"I want to show him that I've changed my ways. That I'm ready to fix our relationship. It's just that..." Sunset's eyes started tearing up.

"I don't know if he still likes me. I'm just so scared that he'll reject me!" Sunset sobbed.

The other girls noticed Sunset crying as well, prompting them to go over to her.

Sunset buried her head into her legs.

"What if he hates me? What if I'll never get him back again?"

The girls each comforted her, as she cried.

Thomas, not liking to see a lady upset, had an idea.

"Eh, listen, mademoiselle Shimmer," Thomas said to her.

Sunset raised her head, sniffing.

"I think me and my partner can help you with your predicament."

Sunset wiped her nose with her sleeve.

"Really?" she asked. "You would do that for me?"

"But of course!" Thomas said. "You are our friend, non?" he winked.

Sunset began tearing up again. This time, however, they were tears of happiness.

"Thank you...so much Thomas."

"No problem at all." Thomas replied.

"Eh Guy!" Thomas called.

Guy instantly woke up and unplugged himself.

"Oui?"

"I need your help."

Guy saluted.

"Alright girls," Thomas started. "Here is the plan..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The school day was over. It was now 5:00 P.M. The only ones left were those setting up for the Ball. Flash Sentry was among the crew in the gym.

"Alright guys! Smoke machines are in place, banners are hung, tables are set..." he went through the check list.

"Everything seems to be in place. Okay! Breaktime! Meet back here in ten minutes."

Flash was about to leave with the crew, when Pinkie stopped him.

"Hiya Flash!" Pinkie chirped.

"Oh, hey Pinkie! What's up?"

"Oh, nothing." She lied. "Just wondering if you could help me set up some balloons over the pyramid."

"Balloons? Trust me Pinkie, we have plenty of balloons."

"But these are special balloons!" she grabbed one from her hair and inflated it. It was white, with a black triangle on it. Yeah, I gave her those balloons. It's not like anyone's actually gonna come to any of my birthday parties. What do I care? I DON'T. NOPE! Even though no one even bothers to say "Happy Birthday". Or give me cake. Or presents...or even a card...

....

Great. Now I'm gonna go watch Princess Bride and cry myself to sleep tonight.

"Uh-huh." Flash replied. "Well, I'll go get someone to help you set-"

"NO!" Pinkie exclaimed. "It has to be you. Just you. Nobody else."

"Why just me?" Flash asked, suspicious over her preferance.

"Ummmm, becaaaaause I like seeing your blue hair while I work!" she BS'd.

Luckily, it worked. Flash blushed slightly at her statement.

"Oh. Well, okay...I guess I could help."

"Great!"

Flash re-entered the gym to help her. However, once he was completely in, the doors suddenly closed behind him.

Startled, he turned and saw them closed. Suddenly, the disco ball spun, spreading shiny colors around the gym. The lights were dimmed, as the pyramid came Alive with smooth lighting.

Sneakily, Daft Punk pressed the play button, as a keyboard started playing.

Flash looked around, and stopped to see a shadowy figure in front of him.

He squinted to get a better look. Then, a spotlight illuminated the figure.

Rarity was smiling, as she moved the spotlight to follow the figure.

"Sunset?" Flash asked.

Sunset Shimmer slowly moved towards him. The lyrics kicked in to the song, making the mood more romantic.

"Hey Flash..." Sunset Shimmer said bashfully. She stopped right in front of him. She bit her lip, and eyed the floor.

"It's...it's been a while." Flash spoke.

"Yeah..."

"...It's been Too Long actually..."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Flash smiled. "I kinda missed you."

Sunset blushed.

"I thought you hated me."

"Why would I hate you?" he said. He put his hand on her shoulder.

"Sunset, I've forgiven you a long time ago. You've shown so much change, and I'm so happy that you're on the right track."

Sunset smiled, as she put her hand over his.

"Well, we both know who to thank for that." she replied.

Flash nodded. "And I'm sure she'd be very proud of you. Just as proud as I am of you."

Sunset grabbed Flash and hugged him. Flash was caught by surprise, but he smiled and returned the hug.

Flash then cleared his throat.

"Well, uh, now that we're both here, I think now is the right time to, uh, ask..."

Sunset looked up at Flash.

"Ask what?"

"Umm, Sunset?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering..."

"Yeees?"

"If you would like..."

"Yeeeeeees?"

"Go to the ball with me?"

Sunset thought about it hard and carefully.

Jk. She answered immediately.

"Yes! I would love to!"

Flash beamed at her response.

"Great! It's settled then."

"Yep." Sunset smiled. This was the best day of her life.

"Well, the song is still going," Flash mentioned. "What say we have a practice dance before tonight?"

"Oh yes. Of course!" Sunset said enthusiastically.

Flash held her hand and grabbed her waist. They then began to dance, by themselves, on the floor.

For Sunset, nothing else mattered but that one moment. The moment where she found herself in the arms of her loved one again. And she wanted to enjoy it as long as she can. She has finally found true love once more, in that gym.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the dance now over, the girls all left to get ready.

"THIS IS OUR BIG NIIIIIIIIII-"

.......

No.

NO.

Mm-mm.

MM-MM.

No....

NO.

No no NO.

NO!

HELL NO!

NO!

.....

NO!

.....

I refu-NO!

No...

That song just....gah....

Anyho, Rarity was the only one left with the two men. They were getting their suits on, hoping that they didn't look ridiculous.

"Alright darlings! Come out now!" Rarity said.

The two came out of the dressing room, dressed in white attire laced with thick, blue lines. They had a golden horseshoe emblem on their shirt pockets, to represent their school.

Rarity squealed.

"You two look absolutely FABULOUS!"

Thomas looked over him and Guy's suits.

"Surprisingly enough, these suits closely resemble the ones we wore back on Earth." he said.

"I told you I would surprise you." Rarity bragged.

"Oui. These suits are très magnifique mademoiselle Rarity." Guy said.

"Merci beaucoup, monsieurs." Rarity bowed.

"Oh, and Thomas." Rarity looked at him.

"Eh?"

She blushed and smiled.

"I was wondering if you would like to accompany me at the ball?"

Thomas thought long and hard about it.

Jk. He answered immediately.

"I don't see why not, you know? When in Rome!"

"Brilliant!" Rarity clapped giddily. Then, she had a confused look on her face.

"Ummm, what's a Rome?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ball has started. The people were talking, ready for the jamming to begin.

Two people, however, could care less about when the music started. It was Grillex and Deadr4t, being bullies at the punch bowl. They tripped, kicked, and mouthed off most everyone. They were mostly bitter that Daft Punk stole their spots as entertainers for the ball, but they were also biding their time.

They already had a plan in motion, and agreed to enact it once the slow song started.

"Ready with the fish Deadr4t?"

Deadr4t nodded, pointing to a bucket that was hidden under the table.

"Excellent. Once their slow song begins, we'll humiliate them by pouring all these stinky fishes all over them! They'll stink so bad, they'll be forced out of the representation contest!"

Grillex chuckled at the genius of her plan. She just needed to be patient.

Suddenly, the smoke machines activated, as the smoke filled the dance floor. The people cheered, as the pyramid lit up. Two men emerged from within it.

They waved to the students, as they started to jam.

The beat immediatley kicked in. Then along came the notes. The people soon began moving with the beat.

Finally, things came together, as the song progressed. Everyone was dancing, even though they didn't know the lyrics. It was still catchy though. And for the first time since her incident, Sunset Shimmer was dancing again. She was next to Flash, as they danced to the fast paced party song. Needless to say, the crowd was pumped up.

Even the two principals. Well, mostly Luna. Celestia just nodded her head to the music while Luna did a tiny dance to herself.

Lol. Luna, a Daft Punk fan? Seems legit.

The two men started scratching on the disk board, making the song stop at certain points. Then they continued the jam, elevating the party. The girls were there to, dancing along with the catchy tune.

Finally, the song was over. Everyone turned and cheered for them. Well, except Grillex and Deadr4t, who were mysteriously nowhere to be seen.

Thomas and Guy bowed, the returned to their stations.

"I think it's time for the slow song, what do you think?" Thomas asked Guy.

Guy nodded, ready to take things slow.

He tapped the screen once more, as the slow song started.

The sounds of the song calmed everyone down, as the bass strummed. Everyone grabbed their partners and began dancing to the song.

Well, except for one fashionista.

"So Guy," Thomas asked. "Can you cover me? I think I have a dance to go to."

Guy nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"Merci." he went off the stage and joined Rarity.

"Well, I hope you don't always keep a lady waiting like this." Rarity asked.

"Don't worry mademoiselle, I don't." Thomas said.

"And when I do, I ALWAYS make up for it."

He grabbed Rarity by the hand and began slow dancing like the machine, cyborg, robot man thing he is.

"Oh my!" Rarity said, blushing and awestruck. "You're attitude is so bold, and daring."

Rarity quickly spun around and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I like bold and daring."

"I told you I make up for it."

Guy watched, as Thomas and Rarity danced. The lyrics of the song were playing in the background, as he kept the station.

Suddenly, a tap on his shoulder caught his attention.

He turned to see Rainbow Dash, dressed in her best (Ha ha! Another rhyme! With the same person too.), with her arms crossed.

"Hey." She said. "Come dance with me."

Guy's face went full red in a blush.

"But, Ms. Dash," Guy started to speak. "I can't leave my station. Also, I'm not very good at dancing. Besides, who would man the pyramid?"

Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"Okay, first of all, don't call Ms. Dash. I told you. No fancy stuff. Second of all, you should be lucky that the captain of ALL the sports teams is asking you specifically to dance. And third of all,"

Rainbow grabbed Guy's shoulder and leaned close.

"You owe me a dance for breaking my rule..." she smirked.

Guy's helmet was heating up in his blush.

"Besides," Rainbow said. "My friend Derpy here can take over. She's a trained DJ."

Rainbow moved to reveal a grey skinned girl with blonde hair and golden crossed eyes. She was munching on a muffin until Rainbow revealed her.

Guy shrugs and gets down from the stage. Derpy hides her muffin and salutes him.

"I won't let you down mister!" she said.

Guy met with Rainbow, who grabbed his hand and walked to the dance floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow. You were right." Rainbow said. "You ARE bad at dancing."

Guy kept tripping over Rainbow's feet, even though they were going slow.

"So...tell me," Rainbow asked. "Why didja clean my house for me?"

"It was just something that I felt was nice to do. You gave us a place to sleep."

"Oh really?" Rainbow smirked. "Is that the only reason?"

"Erm, yes. I was just being nice."

"Hmm...and I suppose putting me in my bed and tucking me in was being nice too?"

"Oh, uuuhh...." Guy's face went red again. "Well, ummm....yes...I think...."

Rainbow laughed.

"You're cute when you get nervous around me."

Meanwhile, Thomas was in a conversation with his own lady.

"So, mademoiselle Rarity," Thomas spoke. "If you don't mind me asking, where did you grow up? You seem to be quite sophisticated and upper crust."

"Well, I suppose my parents are responsible for that." Rarity replied.

"I was actually born in Griffonsburg myself. My mother and father met when they both opened up shops. They liked to travel a lot, and often gained a lot of treasures and novelties. We owned a diamond mine back in Saddle Arabia, which let us live the high life..." Rarity then frowned. "For a while..."

"What happened?" Thomas asked.

"Well, there was an accident, and the mine had to be shut down indefinitley. We had to move back to Canterlot and start from square one. I helped my family by selling fashion designs and other items in my botique. Then, my father died."

Rarity looked down in remembrance for him.

"His time came eventually, even though we didn't want him to go. Since then, it's been me, my mother, and my little sister all by ourselves. And right now, we are doing quite wonderful if I do say do myself."

"I can tell. You LOOK wonderful too."

"Oh, what? This horrendous piece? It's not my best work, I assure you."

"Non, mademoiselle Rarity, but whatever dress you wear, you shall always look glowing in it."

Rarity blushed and giggled.

"Oh Thomas, you certainly know how to talk to a lady."

"Oui. It is said that we french are 'masters of love'."

"I can see why..." Rarity said.

They continued dancing, not noticing the two figures behind Derpy.

Grillex was snickering, as Deadr4t held her on her shoulders.

"Steady...steady..." Grillex said, carefully holding the bucket.

They didn't realize, however, that Derpy took Daft Punk's place.

Deadr4t bumped into the back of the pyramid, almost dropping Grillex.

"Whoa!" Grillex yelped. "I said steady!"

Grillex then grabbed the bucket and got ready to launch the dead fish.

"Get ready to sleep with the fishes boys..."

Suddenly, a tap on her shoulder made her stop. She turned and saw Principal Luna giving them a death stare.

"And what do you two think you're doing?" she asked.

Grillex smiled as innocently as she could.

"Uuhhh...giving our DJ's a fish dinner?" she made up.

Luna shook her head and pointed to the doors.

Grillex sulked, as Deadr4t sullenly carried her to detention.

For tonight, all is well, and those Daft Punk boys sure had a...BALL.

Eh?

Eh?

Get it? A "ball"?

'Cause they were playing at the Ball and it also means...ya know...having fun...

.....

Screw you. That was funny!

The Game Has Changed

View Online

The Ball finished with the two men playing their signature song from when they first arrived here.

The song ended, with the people cheering loudly for them.

They chanted their name over and over, while they clapped.

Thomas hugged Guy.

"We're back baby!" he yelled.

Guy hugged back, sharing his enthusiasm.

The partygoers soon started to leave, as Thomas and Guy started closing up shop.

Suddenly, the two Principals appeared in front of them.

"Good show tonight boys." Celestia told them. "You really put on quite the performance."

Celestia was wearing a strapless red dress, with crimson high heels.

Luna was less showy, wearing a regular old blue dress.

"Thank you madame Celestia." Thomas and Guy bowed.

"Both me and Principal Celestia want to speak to you tomorrow during lunch." Luna said. "It is a private matter."

"Alright." Thomas said. They exited out of the pyramid.

"We shall see you then." Guy said.

They both inexplicably grabbed their hands and kissed them.

Luna and Celestia both blushed, as they looked at each other. They then took back their hands.

"Yes, well umm, thank you...Mr. Bangalter. Mr...Christo..." Luna spoke.

The two men bowed again, then left to rejoin the girls.

"Well that was weird..." Luna finally said.

"Yeah...a good kind of weird though..." Celestia said softly.

"What?" Luna asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing." Celestia said.

"Let's get out of here," Luna said. "This dress is killing me."

"Right. Let's go."

As the principals left the gym, the girls all talked excitedly, each one praising their music.

"I really liked the first song!" Pinkie spoke excitedly.

"I liked the slow dancing myself."
Rarity added.

"Eh. Not really one for slow dancing. I liked that One More Time song though."

"We knew you would enjoy our music." Thomas said proudly.

"We are musical geniuses after all."

"Ooh I can certainly tell! I can't wait to hear more about you at dinner tonight." Rarity said excitedly.

"Oui. Me ne-" Thomas paused. "Wait a minute, I don't remember anything about a dinner with you tonight."

"Oh? Did you forget?" Rarity said innocently. "I asked you if you want to get something to eat later tonight and you said yes."

Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"Rarity. Are you kidding me?"

"No! He said yes." Rarity pouted "He said that he was willing to go to dinner with me."

"I don't remem-"

"Well, I'll make sure to remind you at Donut Joe's! Come along darling!"

Rarity grabbed Thomas by his arm and pulled him with her.

The girls stared as Rarity forced Thomas to go out with her. On a date.

Lucky Thomas. I wish a girl forced ME to go on a date with her.

"Wait a minute! I never planned this! I need an adult!" Thomas yelled.

The girls looked back to Guy, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Have a good time you two!" He yelled at them.

The girls laughed, as Rarity dragged Thomas out of the gym.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moon was already out, as Guy was sitting playing video games on Rainbow Dash's tv.

He was mashing the buttons, executing combos on the fighting game he was playing.

Even though the characters were ponies and looked like something from a little girls show, Guy was glad Rainbow had at least one fighting game. Most of her games were FPS and some unrealistic game called Mechafall. Seriously. The guns have no recoil. What's up with that?

....

It's still a pretty awesome game though.

He was reluctant, since the title clearly said "My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic." but what choice did he have? It was the only game where he could use his combo-hitting skillz.

So far, Guy went very far into the game. He liked using Rainbow Dash. Not cause he had a feeling for her, but because the character was the fastest. Before his opponent could even attack, he already hit multiple combos that drained their life bar completely.

Guy asked Rainbow about the game, curious as to why she and her friends look similiar to the ponies in the game.

Rainbow told him that after the events with Twilight and Sunset Shimmer, a student made this game and it got popular quickly. It sold fairly well for Funstation and Y-Box, and Rainbow got a free one from the developer. She never really played it though, mostly cause she was too busy trying to reach prestige 10 in her Call to Arms games.

Guy, however, reached a level that would forever frustrate him. He was to face off against Fluttershy.

Guy looked at his opponent and scoffed.

"Too easy."

However, when the match began, Fluttershy stared at Rainbow. Guy couldn't move his character, as his health went almost instantly to nothing.

Fluttershy defeated Rainbow without even lifting a hoof. Wow. Is it just me? Or is the Stare a tad bit...overpowered?

I'm gonna get so much hate from this story.

"What the-?" Guy said, while the screen flashed "You Lose".

"What was that?!" Guy yelled.

"Oh, you've reached the Fluttershy level." Rainbow spoke. "Don't even bother trying to beat her. She'll just keep using that stare and beat you every time. You can't even block it. Why they even put her in this game is beyond me, if all she's gonna do is that."

"Wow. That is stupide." Guy replied. "I'm going to beat her. I don't care how long it takes."

Guy restarted the match, and tried blocking this time. However, the same thing happened, and Guy died once again.

"Damn it!" Guy cursed.

"Say, it's getting late." Rainboe told him.

"Shouldn't Thomas be here by now?"

"Oh don't worry about him. He'll be fine. AW COME ON!" Guy put down the controller and put his hands on his head.

Rainbow chuckles, as she leaned on the couch.

"I can just imagine him right now, getting his ears talked off...well, if he had ears."

Guy laughs softly.

"If anything, I think mademoisell Rarity would be annoyed by him."

"That reminds me," Rainbow said, sitting next to Guy. "How DID you two meet?"

"We met in college." Guy said.

"College?" Rainbow said, confused. "How did you two meet in college if we're still in high school.

Guy just shrugged.

"We're different back on Earth. By the way, how old are you?"

"I'm 19." Rainbow replied.

"Oh good. It's not illegal." Guy said, relieved. "Weird, but perfectly legal."

"What's perfectly legal?" Rainbow asked.

"Nothing." Guy replied.

Rainbow eyed him suspiciously.

"Okay. It's getting kinda late. I'm gonna go hit the hay."

She stood up and started to walk to her room, when suddenly, the door slammed open.

Rainbow turned to see Thomas, sputtering out random sayings in french.

"Thomas, what happened?" Guy asked.

Thomas shakily closed the door.

"Comment allez-vous mademoiselle? Je vous bien. Et toi? Très bon!"

Thomas then collapsed on the couch, with has visor saying "2MuchFancy4Me".

Rainbow snickered at the sight.

"Well, it seems that Rariry really did a number on Thomas here." Rainbow remarked.

"Yeah." Guy agreed.

"Good night Guy." Rainbow said, as she went to bed.

"Good night Rainbow."

And so Guy sat there, looking at Thomas who was passed out on the couch.

He shrugged, and grabbed the controller, as he continued playing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The morning started, as Daft Punk left with Rainbow to school. This time, Thomas was with them.

Their day went on as scheduled. They took their courses, wrote some notes, did some work. Then came lunchtime.

Daft Punk remembered that the two principals wanted to see them during lunch. So they left immediatley for the office.

They entered the door, as Luna and Celestia were talking to each other.

"Ah good." Celestia turned to them. "You two have arrived."

"You wanted to see us today?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, indeed." Luna spoke. "Me and Principal Celestia have been talking about you two. You're not in trouble, so don't worry."

The two men sat down at the chairs.

"Now, as you both are aware, our school DJ's are both serving extra time in detention. Unfortunately, this means that they will not be able to attend the festival."

"So, we are here to tell you that you two have a chance at representing Canterlot High at the festival"

"Really? They are out of the festival?" Thomas asked.

Celestia nodded.

"Alright!" Thomas high-fived.

"Now, you two have been unanimously chosen by the team of musicians to represent the school, so we both wish you two good luck." Luna told them.

"Thank you madames." Thomas said.

"Your welcome. Now, you're excused." Celestia told them.

They both got up and left the office, eager to tell their friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Congratulations you two!" Rarity squealed. "You've got a chance to play at the biggest event ever!"

"Wow you guys. You two are incredibly lucky." Sunset Shimmer spoke in amazement.

"Oui. We are." Thomas agreed.

"So, whatcha guys gonna play at the representation contest?" Pinkie asked.

"Well, let's see..." Thomas thought. "We're gonna need songs that would get everyone's attention. Maybe Da Funk, Aerodynamic, and also Robot Rock...we'll have to make a playlist."

"Are yoy two boys actually gonna be ready fer this?" Applejack asked.
"Don't worry. We've got plenty of time to practice." Thomas said.

"Actually, the festival is tomorrow." Applejack told him.

"Oh...." Thomas said.

Guy patted Thomas on the back.
"Hey man, don't worry. we have years of experience. I'm sure we got this in the bag, even without practice."

Thomas cheered up a little.

"You're right." He replied. "We've got everything we need right here." He pointed to his head.

"Alright, here's what we're gonna do..." Guy said, whispering into Thomas's ear...er, at least where his ear was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was starting to set, as Daft Punk returned to Rainbow's house.

"Oh boy! Tomorrow is gonna be so AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed. "I can't wait to hear more of your songs!"

Thomas looked at Guy, then nodded.

"Why wait? Let's practice right now."

Rainbow turned to them. "Really?"

"Yeah."

"AWESOME!"

"Lemme just..."

Thomas reached inside his suit and brought out a white laptop.

"Ah! I had this the whole time."

He started up the laptop, and began to play some party songs.

"Sweet! Let's par-tay!" Rainbow said, moving with the groove.

And so party they did.

While there was a party at Rainbow's house, a different party was happening somewhere else.

That party was in Sunset Shimmer's stomach.

She felt very nervous, standing outside the door. It's been a while since she visited this place, and it brought back happy memories.

Timidly, she brought her finger to the doorbell, and pressed it. A few seconds later, the door opened.

It was Flash.

"Sunset," Flash smiled. "It's good to see you? How's it going?"

Sunset Shimmer coughed nervously.

"Oh, I'm fine. I just came to...umm, ask you something."

"What is it?" he asked.

The sun was halfway on the horizon. Whatever she came to do, Sunset knew she had to do it now.

"I was just wondering if..."

"Uh-huh?"

She bit her lip, before finally asking what she came here to ask.

"I was wondering if you were...doing anything tonight?"

Digital Love

Flash scratched the back of his head.

"Tonight?" he asked. "Well, umm...not really."

"No?" Sunset asked, now hopeful. "That's great! I mean, not really, you know, I'm not saying having nothing to do tonight is awesome, just..."

"Yeah, I know what you're saying." Flash said.

"Good, cause you know...yeah." Sunset said.

They stood there for a few seconds in awkward silence.

"Do you, uh...wanna come in?" Flash asked.

"Yes." Sunset immediatly answered.

Flash moved aside, letting her in his house. It was fairly tidy, save for some sports memoribilia he kept.

Flash closed the door behind her. It's been a while since she has been in his house. She still remembered where the couch was, where his cd's were, everything.

"Beautiful outside, isn't it?" Flash said.

"Hmmm?" Sunset asked, turning.

"I'm just trying to make small talk."

"Oh. Yes, it is."

Flash kindly urged her to take a seat, as he sat next to her.

"So. What's on your mind?" Flash asked.

"Well, not much. Still thinking about that dance we had today."

"Mmm. I remember." Flash smiled.

"It felt so good, being together again."

"I think so too."

Sunset turned in surprise.

"Really?"

Flash nodded.

"This might be strange, but I actually, you know...kind of like you Sunset."

"Like, 'Like' like me?"

"Well, yeah..." Flash said.

Both of them had butterflies in their stomachs.

Sunset twiddled her thumbs, as they sat in silence.

Finally, she gained enough confidence to speak.

"Okay, can I just, say something crazy?" she asked.

Oh god.

"...I love crazy." Flash replied.

Oh please God no.

"All my life has been a series of doors in my face. And then suddenly, I bumped into you."

Flash smiled.

"I was thinking the same thing! Cause like, I've been searching my whole life to find my own place, and maybe it's my thinking talking, or the air in this room."

"But with you, I found my place."

"I see your face!"

"And it's coming back like it never did before, Love is an Open Door!"

"Love is an Open Door!"

"Love is an open door, with you!" Sunset pointed at Flash.

"With you!" Flash answered back.

"With you!"

"With you!"

"Love is an open door..." They both held their hands together on the couch, staring into each other's eyes.

"I mean, it's crazy..." Flash said.

"What?" Sunset asked.

"We finish each other's-"

"Sandwiches!"

Flash was taken aback.

"That's what I was gonna say!"

"I never met someone who thinks so much like me!"

"JINX!" They both yelled. "JINX AGAIN!"

"Our mental synch-ron-i-za-tion, can have but one ex-pla-na-tion..."

"You," Flash said.

"And I." Sunset added.

"Were-"

"Just-"

"Meant to be!"

"Say goodbye, to the pain of the past," they both sang, as they went out on the front porch.

"We don't have to feel it anymore! Love is an Open Door!"

"Love is an Open Door!"

"Life can be so much more,"

"With you!" Sunset danced with Flash out on the yard.

"With you!" Flash spun her around.

"With you!"

"With you!"

"Love is an Open Door..."

They both fell down and laid on the grass, laughing together.

Flash grabbed Sunset's arm.

"Can I say something crazy?" he asked.

Sunset just giggled in response.

"Do you wanna go on a date with me?"

Sunset smiled.

"Can I say something even crazier?" she asked.

Flash nodded.

"Yes!" she replied.

The two got up, and laughed their way to the car. Flash opened the door for her, then he entered his car. The doors closed, as they smiled at each other.

Then they scratched themselves silly.

"Geez! What's in your front yard Flash?! I'm itching all over!"

"Sorry," Flash grunted. "It's been a while since I mowed."

Eventually, after they settled down, the car started, as they made their way to a resteraunt.

......

I can't believe I just did that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After having donuts at Donut Joe's, the two decided to pay a visit to the pond. It was night time, and the pond was full of noctournal life. The frogs were croaking, and the crickets chirped like an orchestra. The moon shone big and bright behind the two, as they walked holding hands down the path. They were laughing, and speaking softly with each other.

"Oh, this is beautiful Flash." Sunset said, resting her head on his shoulder.

"No Sunset," he said, palming her cheek in his hand. "You're beautiful."

Sunset Shimmer blushed, as she looked deep into his eyes.

"Oh, you don't mean that. I'm sure Twilight is ten times more prettier than me."

"No, I truly mean that." Flash said, sincerley.

"I mean, sure, Twilight was a very pretty girl," he said. "But you will always be beautiful to me. No matter what happens."

Sunset started tearing up, as she dug her face into him.

"You-you think so?" she sobbed.

"Yes Sunset Shimmer..." Flash said. His face edged towards her ear.

"I love you."

Sunset, with her eyes still watery, looked back at Flash. His blue hair flickered in the moonlight, as his blue eyes shined at her. To her, he was the most handsomest man she ever saw.

She sniffed one more time, as she leaned in closer to his face.

All of a sudden, a crab with a group of fishes were about to pop out of the water.

"Okay guys!" the crab said, in a familiar Jamaican accent. "Get ready to sing in 3, 2-"

Oh no! We are NOT having another Disney song in this chapter! Frozen was once enough. Besides, there's an MJ song playing in the background man! Respect the King.

"Oops. Sorry mon." the crab said.

*sigh*

......


And then he kissed the girl. And it was the most romantic kiss of their lives since they first kissed.

Not because of the place, the time, or the mood, but because of their yearning for each other. They've wanted this moment ever since they first broke up, spending endless days of regret and lonliness, wishing they could try again.

And finally, they kissed. And they continued kissing, all the way to the end of the linked song.

......

Or, for those who are super slow readers, until they couldn't kiss no more.

The sound of tires moving across the pavement woke up Guy.

Guy groaned, as began he to move. Suddenly, he felt the leather of a seat belt across his chest.

'What the...' he thought.

"Good morning sunshine." Rainbow said.

Guy looked out the car's window to see them on the road. The sun was not out yet. He looked around to realize that he was in the car once more. Behind them, Thomas was still asleep, mumbling random things in French.

"Umm, Ms. Dash? Where are we going? It's not time for school yet." Guy asked.

"We gotta be there early so the bus can drop us off at the festival."

"Oh. Okay." Guy said.

"And don't call me Ms. Dash."

"Sorry."

Rainbow smiled. It was kinda cute that Guy forgot every time.

"So. You got the songs you wanna play at the festival ready?"

"Yep. We've uploaded the playlist into our helmets, rather than write it on a paper. It's easier that way."

"Cool." Rainbow replied.

They drove in silence for a few seconds.

"Ya know, I was wondering," Rainbow asked. "What do you guys look like UNDER those helmets?"

"We don't show our faces." Guy told her.

"Really? Why?"

"A motherboard is connected to our brains. If we detach that motherboard, then we would die if we're exposed for too long."

"Wow." Rainbow replied. "Sounds like a curse."

"Eh. Not really." Guy said. "At least you get cool features like this!"

He pressed the side of his helmet, which began playing an 8-bit version of Around the World, while rainbow lights flashed on his helmet. Guy danced along to the music, while Rainbow looked at him with a confused face.


"Well, we're here." Rainbow said, pulling up to the bus. The song was over just in time as well.

She parked her car, then turned to wake Thomas up.

"Thomas," she nudged him. "Wake up..."

Thomas grumbled.

"Juste cinq minutes de plus maman..." he said.

Rainbow then chose the hard way, and punched him in the arm.

"YOUCH!" Thomas yelped.

"Wake up sleepy-head!" Rainbow said. "We're here."

Thomas groggily looked outside and saw the bus.

He groaned.

"Okay...let's go."

They all got outside of the car, and headed towards the bus.

Inside the bus, the five girls were talking excitedly amongst each other, mostly about Sunset Shimmer's special announcement.

"We're so happy for you Sunset!" Rarity said.

"Yeah. You and Flash are back together." Fluttershy agreed.

Sunset giggled. "I know! I've missed him so much, we don't connect with others like we do."

"Remind me to throw you a 'Back Together' party when we get back!" Pinkie chirped.

"Will do Pinkie." Sunset replied.

The principals were also there too.

"You know, maybe it's time I tried those dating websites again." Principal Celestia spoke to Luna.

"Oh great. NOW what's motivating you?" Luna asked.

"Nothing." Celestia said. "It's just been a while since I've been on Equestrian Mingle."

"Tia. It's been only four days."

"Well, that's too long." Celestia said. "Besides..."

Then, Rainbow Dash walked in with the boys. The girls cheered, as Celestia secretly stared at Guy.

"You never know if you'll meet the right one."

Rainbow and the two men sat with the two girls, as the bus started.

While they were heading on their way, they talked about the festival and the campus, and Guy showed his helmet trick again. The festival was a bit far away, so some of the girls took a nap. Even Principal Celestia dozed off.

Finally, when the sun has risen over the horizon, they arrived.

The campus was even more beautiful than described. The whole building was a pure marble white, and it had a huge area of land. There were booths, concession stands, and a dunk tank being set up, along with banners and flags.

"Hello!" a white skinned, red haired boy with glasses spoke to them. He was wearing a suit with a blue tie.

"My name is Quicksilver, and I'll be your guide for today. I shall show you two where you will perform. If you would all follow me."

Quicksilver handled his clipboard, as he headed to the main building.

The others followed him inside, until they've entered the concert hall. It was certainly bigger than the gym, and much more colorful. Musical instruments were painted everywhere, a huge mural on each wall.

"This is where you two shall be performing." Quicksilver said, pointing at the stage. The girls and the principals looked in awe at the huge, updated pyramid set up for them.

"We've taken the liberty of resizing your equipment to fit better on our stage. Now, the concert shall start at 8:30, so be here by that time. Until then, you all enjoy your stay in Canterlot Gardens!"

Canterlot Gardens. I chose that name. Why? I dunno. It sounded fancy, I guess.

The guide left them, as he secretly brought out a comic book from his suit and read it while he walked.

Hope you don't mind me using your OC, Colt in the Moon, you old rascal you.

"Alright students," Principal Celestia spoke, getting all their attentions.

"We have the whole day to spend here in Canterlot Gardens. So, I want all of you to pair up with someone before you go and enjoy the grounds."

Rarity, obviously, grabbed Thomas.

"I'm with Thomas!" she chirped.

Luna began to write down the pairs.

Pinkie then paired with Fluttershy.

Applejack paired with Sunset Shimmer.

Finally, Rainbow paired with Guy.

"Alright girls," Celestia smiled. "You all stay safe now."

They all chattered excitidly, as they left to go outside.

"Hey Guy..." Rainbow called to him.

"Eh?"

"Wanna go get a bite to eat? I saw a burger stand not too far from here."

Guy felt light in his stomach.

"Umm, okay. One thing though."

"What?" Rainbow said, as they walked.

"I don't like ambugas." Guy struggled to pronounce.

"What?!" Rainbow gasped. "Have you ever TASTED one?"

"Well, no..."

Rainbow smirked, as she grabbed him by his shirt.

"Well, get ready to be immortalized by the awesomeness of a good burger."

She then started dragging him to the nearest burger stand, eager to show the frenchman what he was missing out.

......

Huh....

This strangely reminds me of a scene from a movie, but I don't know which one...

Aw well. It'll come to me.

Ocean wave break line!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, now repeat after me..." Rainbow said.

"I wanna buy a hamburger."

Guy coughed.

"I wanna buy a amburg..."

"No, it's I wanna buy a hamburger."

"I...wanna buy a....am....boiga!"

Rainbow snorted in frustration.

"I wanna buy a hamburger!"

"I wanna buy a damberga!'

"I WANNA BUY A HAMBURGER!"

"I wanna buy a derbega!"

"NO! HAMburger!"

"emberber!"

"HAMBURGER!"

"I wanna buy a damberger...."

"It's not damnburger, it's hamburger!"

"I'm not saying damnburger, I'm saying...damberger."

"I wanna buy a hamburger!"

"I wanna buy a dabedi."

"Hamburger!"

"I wanna buy a dambaga!"

Rainbow facepalmed, giving up on making him try to say it.

"Forget it. I'LL order."

Guy just shrugged.

Rainbow walked to the burger stand.

"Hey. Two HAMburgers, for me and my friend here please."

The chef, who was a brown skinned, black haired young man nodded. He had a yellow, flipped "CK" on his shirt.

Btw, that's me. As my OC. Equinox.

.....

Yeah. No one cares.

The two grabbed their hamburgers with a side of fries and milkshakes and walked towards a table.

They sat with their meal, Rainbow grabbing a fry.

"Guy. Can ya at least reveal the mouth half of your face?" she asked. "I don't think it'd be very easy eating food the way you did last time."

Guy shrugged.

"I guess revealing half of my face won't hurt me."

Guy grabbed his helmet and took it off, revealing a motherboard.

Rainbow stared, in awe at his face.

Then, Guy folded the motherboard, revealing the bottom half of his face.

Even though it was only half his face, Rainbow was enchanted with his features.

The bottom of his face was round, yet slightly rigid. His skin was a light tan color. His lips were a little plump, as he grabbed a fry and ate it.

"So, you've never had a hamburger?"

"Of course not." Guy said, grabbing his burger reluctantly. "It's a disgusting American food."

He eyed his burger, then slowly took a bite.

Suddenly, time slowed down, as Guy moaned in edible euphoria. The taste in his tongue lingered, as he relished it. His mouth watered, urging him, pleading for him to take another bite. And another. And another.

Pretty soon, he wolfed his burger down. He gave a loud burp, then sipped from his milkshake.

"Mon dieu! That was délicieux!" Guy said.

Rainbow laughed.

"Wow. You finished that faster than I did."

Guy smiled. Rainbow was astonished. He was smiling, and she saw it. She knew that bringing hin here was a great idea.

Meanwhile, in another table nearby, Principal Celestia and Luna were eating as well.

Well, Luna was eating. Celestia was mostly sucking on her hot dog, staring at Guy.

"Tia?" Luna spoke. "Why are you sucking on your hot dog?"

Celestia snapped out of her gaze, and realized that she was indeed sucking on a hot dog. She blushed, as she stopped.

"Oh. Sorry Luna. I was, eh, observing our students."

"Mm-hmm." Luna said, unconvinced. "Listen, Tia, ever since those new students came to our school, I've noticed that you have eyed the golden helmet one the whole time."

"I can't help it." Celestia admitted. "Maybe it's his accent, or maybe it was his compliment on my age, but I'm strangely attracted to Mr. Christo."

"Tia!" Luna gasped. "You know student principal relationships are taboo!"

"Well they should really change the rules a bit." Celestia whined. "Maybe just with those above the age of 18. That IS the legal age to marry anyway."

"My gosh Tia!"

"What? Oh, come on. Don't tell me Mr. Christo didn't make you feel like a school girl again."

Luna blushed.

"I-I have had no such feelings."

Celestia smiled.

"I guess all it took was someone to kiss your hand." she poked at her.

"You're one to talk! You fell for him the instant he called you young!"

"Well he seemed really sincere."

"This is incredibly inappropriate and creepy Tia."

"Your opinion."

The two principals kept arguing, as Rainbow went to buy Guy another burger, who asked for another.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was 8:00. The sun was beginning to set, as Rainbow walked with Guy, who had burgers stuffed in his pockets. He was chewing on one right now, as they walked.

"It's almost time for the festival to begin." Rainbow reminded him.

"Mm...right." he said, as he chomped into his burger. "We're gonna crush it."

"I don't doubt that." Rainbow replied.

Guy swallowed his bite, then looked at Rainbow.

"Eh, Ms. Dash?" Guy asked.

"I told you, call me Rainbow."

"Was this a...date?" he asked.

Rainbow blushed.

'Aw shoot!' she thought to herself. 'Now what Rainbow?'

"Umm...eh..."

'Think! Just tell him that it was just a friendly get-together.'

"Ummm..."

'C'mon Rainbow! Tell hi-'

"Yeah...I guess..."

'Dang it!'

"Oh...well, alright." Guy shrugged.

"Really? It's not awkward or weird or anything?"

"Non. It was a nice date."

Rainbow was amazed at his coolness towards it.

"A 'nice' date?" she scowled. "I tried my best. You should be lucky I even asked you out."

"Oh, Ms. Dash, I don't mean to insult you. Believe me, it was one of the best dates I've ever been on."

"Really?" she asked.

"Oui. Not only did I find out my secret passion for dambagers-"

"Hamburgers." Rainbow deadpanned.

"Whatever. But I also got to discover it with a very beautiful girl."

Rainbow's blush grew.

"Ah quit lying." she said. "I'm not THAT pretty. I'm aight."

"Oh no Ms. Dash, you are more than all right! You are indeed a lovely lady."

"I told you, it's just...just..."

This time, Rainbow couldn't say it. Since that fateful night, when Guy broke her rule, her feelings for him started to grow past friendship. Now, with this date, and with Guy's coolness towards her and his compliments, him saying "Ms. Dash" didn't bother her as much anymore.

"Rainbow?" Guy asked, smiling again.

There it was again. That smile of his. She felt comfortable everytime he did that.

"Well...yeah..."

Guy put his free hand on Rainbow's shoulder.

"Well, I'm trying as hard as I can Rainbow."

He smiled, as he bit into his burger again.

"Oh Yeah..." Guy moaned. "This is awesome."

.....

Wow. Now I have a craving for a cheeseburger. Thanks Daft Punk.

"Well whaddya know?" a familiar voice spoke. "Look who it is! One half of Daft STUNK."

Guy quickly finished his burger, then put his helmet back on.

"You two?" Rainbow spoke. "How did you two get here?"

It was Grillex and Deadr4t. Grillex had her arms crossed, smiling smugly.

"We left Canterlot High just in time to take the place of Crystal Empire High's representatives. Some chick named Madame Goo Goo got laryngitis, so we took the opportunity and here we are...representing Crystal Empire High."

"Huh. I didn't know they accepted talentless people like you in that school." Guy remarked.

"Oh, you'll see who are the talentless ones soon enough. We'll 'pull the cord' on your parade. See ya later losers."

Grillex laughed, as she and Deadr4t walked away.

"Oh, you two are SO going down!" Guy yelled at them.

Rainbow glared at them.

"Alright Guy, it's time to make them eat their words. Are you ready?"

Guy cracks his neck.

"But of course."

Rainbow smiles.

"Great. Let's rock."

They both then walked towards the main building, as the festival was about to begin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coltplay finished singing "A Night Full of Stars", as the crowd applauded and cheered.

"Thank you, Coltplay from Trottingham High!" the announcer spoke.

The band waved, as they left the stage. They went behind the curtain, and saw Daft Punk.

The yellow-skinned lead singer decided to converse with them.

"Are you two representing Canterlot High?" he asked in a British accent.

"Oui. What, you think we are not professionals?" Thomas accused.

"Well, no that-"

"No?!" Thomas yelled. "I'll have you know that we have won MULTIPLE Grammy awards, and our songs are known ALL Around the World! We are the most talented music duo to EVER exist!"

The singer blinked.

"Actually, I was going to say pleasure to meet you."

Thomas paused.

"Oh." he said. "Umm...pleasure to meet you too...eh?"

"Yellow. Yellow Headrush." he replied.

"Those are my mates over there."

They shook hands.

"Hello. My name is Thomas Bangalter. This is my partner, Guy Manuel de Homem Christo."

Guy waved at Yellow. From what Thomas could see, Yellow was a fairly built person, with short, blonde hair. He had blue eyes and had dark blue clothing with black jeans. He had a button that had a pair of white wings in front of a blue background.

"Say, your accent is french. Are you from another region of the world?"

"You could say that." Thomas said.

"Well, I just wanted to wish you two good luck. And may the best band win."

"Merci Yellow." Thomas said.

Yellow smiled, than left with his band.

Guy then tapped Thomas's shoulder.

"Hmm?" Thomas turned to Guy.

"Guess who's in the competition.

Guy leaned in and whispered in Thomas's ear.

"WHAT?! They're here!?" Thomas yelled.

>"Yeah Thomas they basically cheated," Guy told him. "They entered into another school."

"Mierde," Thomas said. "Well, we'll show them."

The smoke machines started, as Daft Punk got onstage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The crowd cheered, as Daft Punk finished their song. The two waved at the crowd, raising more cheers. They then returned to their stations, as they finally got ready to rock. Drums sounded, then the beat kicked in. People moved along with the beat, as the song started. The two were bobbing their heads to the beat. The audience roared, as lights flashed throughout.

Suddenly, Guy stopped.

"Hey..." he talked to Thomas.

Thomas didn't hear, as he continued bobbing his head.

"Hey!" Guy said louder.

Thomas didn't hear him still.

"HEY!"

"What?" Thomas said.

"I think I'm gonna be sick..." Guy said, holding a hand to his "mouth". His helmet started to glow red again.

"Go use the bathroom. I'll take it from here."

Guy nodded, as he exited the pyramid. He went backstage, taking a breather.

Suddenly, Guy noticed a shadow moving towards the generator. This wouldn't have bothered him as much, if the shadow didn't have a huge frickin' mouse head.

It was Deadr4t, and she was heading towards the generator where Daft Punk had their whole set-up connected.

An exclamation point blinked on his helmet.

There are advantages to being a cyborg. One of them is super fast speed. Cause, ya know, robot stuff.

"Oh no you don't!" Guy yelled, as he tackled Deadr4t to the ground.

The audience gasped, as the two ran onstage.

I'll try to make this the least awkward I can, but it's a guy fighting a girl. There's bound to be an unintentional contact, if ya know what I mean? Eh? Eh?

.....

.....

I'm pathetic.

The two tussled on the ground, as Deadr4t tried to get off. Then it happened. An unintentional contact. Guy's left hand slipped off of her helmet, and landed right on her left chest lump.

For the first time ever, Deadr4t made a sound. She gasped loudly, then slapped Guy, hard in the face.

Guy's helmet was red with embaressment. This was the chance for Deadr4t to slip away. She began to run away, going onstage.

"You get back here." Guy yelled.

Guy caught up, as Deadr4t turned to him.

"Finally. We end this here." Deadr4t spoke, her voice muffled behind the helmet. "Once and for all."

"Bring it Mouse Girl!" Guy said.

Deadr4t charged at him, then leaped into the air in a kick.

Guy reacted by dodging to the side, as she missed. She recovered, as Guy got up.

"Normally, I don't hit women." Guy said. "But a mouse? Why not?"

Deadr4t shook her head, then sweeped Guy's legs.

Guy fell to the ground, as Deadr4t kicked him.

Deadr4t kicked him again and again, then Guy caught one of her kicks, and flipped her.

She fell on her back, as Guy jumped on her, grabbing her helmet.

"Let's find out your TRUE identity!" he spoke.

Deadr4t tried to scratch him off of her, but he had his knees on her arms.

Finally, using his enhanced cyborg strength, he ripped the helmet in half, revealing the girl inside.

She had gray skin, and black hair with a pink bow. Her eyes, showing defeat, were light violet.

"Stop the music!" Judge Hoity Toity yelled.

Thomas looked at him, then stopped the music. (This is when you stop the music in the link.)

Everyone mumbled with each other, after finding out Deadr4t's true identity.

"Octavia!" Grillex yelled, as she made her way to her.

"Wait a minute..." Sunset Shimmer spoke. "It all makes sense now. When these two took over for Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, they had weird costumes that hid their faces."

Grillex made it to Octavia.

"So that means..."

Grillex sobbed.

"Yes. It's me." she took off her shades, revealing her distinctive red eyes.

"Vinyl Scratch!" the six girls gasped.

"We need you two to leave the stage. We'll take it from here." Judge Shining Armor told them.

Ha. Snuck him in this story.

Vinyl Scratch helped Octavia up, as they walked with Daft Punk to behind the curtain.

"I didn't want this." Vinyl said, helping Octavia to walk. "I mean, I wanted to grow more famous, but not like this. I didn't know it would change me for the worst."

The girls were also backstage.

"I know how you feel Vinyl." Sunset said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Sometimes, power and popularity can affect our egos so much, that we get lost."

Vinyl sniffed, then turned to Daft Punk.

"I'm sorry you guys. I never meant to do this to you two. Not if it meant my best friend would get hurt."

Guy scratched the back of his head.

"And I'm sorry for fighting your friend. I promise never to do it again mademoiselle." Guy spoke.

"Thank you."

Octavia groaned.

"I'll give you this Mr. Christo," Octavia spoke in a British accent. "You are quite a fighter."

"Merci mademoiselle. I just wish you found out in some other way."

Octavia smiled.

"No hard feelings?" she asked.

"Non."

"Good." she walked towards Guy and shook his hand. Then, she whispered in his ear.

"Let's not mention our little 'touchy-feely moment back there ever again, shall we?"

"Okay." Guy replied.

The curtain opens, revealing a pink skinned lady with magenta and gold themed hair. She had a pink dress on, and had a crystal heart brooch.

"We've reached our decision. You may come out with the other bands now."

She left, as the musicians looked at each other.

"May the best one win?" Thomad asked.

"Indeed." Octavia smiled.

They both walked together, as they went outside the curtains.

.....

Wow. That was actually a very fast moral change there. Reminds me of a certain movie this story was based off of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"We have come to a deciscion." Judge Steven Magnet spoke.

Ha ha. I bet you guys forgot all about that poor son of a gun.

"Since Deadr4t tried to sabotage Daft Punk's performance," Judge Cadence spoke.

Yep. Snuck her in too.

Octavia frowned in regret.

"That means she and her partner are disqualified." Judge Hoity Toity said.

"We have counted all the votes, and we have come to the result," Judge Shining Armor spoke. "The winners of the Canterlot Music Festival is..."

The crowd stood on edge, as did the girls, Daft Punk, and all the other bands.

"Daft Punk! Representing Canterlot High!" Shining Armor said.

The girls cheered, and Vinyl and Octavia clapped for them.

Daft Punk jumped in joy. They did it. They won!

Judge Cadence grabbed the award and gave it to them.

"Congratulations to you both." she told them.

Both men hugged the Grammy award lovingly, as the crowd cheered for them. This night, was their night.

Rainbow ran up the stage, and hugged Guy.

"You did it! You won!" Rainbow said excitedly.

"We did it!" Guy yelled.

They both kept hugging, as the rest of the girls celebrated. For Guy, nothing else mattered, except for that moment, holding their Grammy in one hand, and his crush in the other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bad news. This story is coming to a close.

I know, this is the moment you all have been waiting for.

Back home, Pinkie decided to have a party at Rainbow's house. Daft Punk partied with them, sometimes laying their jams as well.

As the night progressed, the girls decided to hit the hay, crashing at Rainbow's house for the night.

All except for Rarity and Rainbow, who stayed with the duo.

They were watching soccer again on tv, with Rainbow asleep on Guy's arm, and Rarity asleep on Thomas's arm.

Thomas looked at Guy, and chuckled.

"Well Guy," he began. "What do you think? Is it better to go home? Or relive our youth?"

Guy laughed.

"You know what Thomas," Guy began. "I could get used to this..."

.....


......


Pink Panther! THAT was the movie! Now I got it!

Special thanks to my friend for helping me write this story. Without you, I wouldn't have sh*t done. Thanks.

Wow. The whole story, and not a single Deadmau5 so-

Oh. I guess that technically counts.

Boing!

Epilogue: The Brainwasher

View Online

The club music blared at Vanilla Unicorn. Students from Crystal Empire High were conversing, drinking some beverages, and laughing. Vinyl Scratch wanted to make amends, and played at the student club.

Everyone danced to her beats, having a good time.

Well, everyone but one.

In an isolated table, sat a student with mariachi clothing. He was covered in black, from his sombrero to his boots. The brim of his hat covered his face, as his feet laid on the table, him leaning on the chair.

The song began to pick up, as Vinyl was getting ready to drop the bass. Everyone danced quicker, as the song got near it's climax.

Vinyl raised the roof, planning on partying until the cows came home. The song finally reached the breaking point. Vinyl saw that it was time. With her usual expertise, she pressed the button that would send the crowd crazy.

However, nothing came out.

All of a sudden, her music stopped entirely, as everything shut off.

The crowd started to murmur, and wondered about what happened.

Vinyl felt like dying. Right when the bass was about to drop, her equipment stopped immediatly.

"Ummm, sorry folks! Technical difficulties! We'll be back to partying soon."

The crowd calmed down a little, as Vinyl looked around her set.

'Strange. No sign of unplugging or frayed wires. My virus scan from a while back showed nothing. Everything should be fine.' she thought.

She pressed the on button for her laptop, and it started again.

She smiled.

'Huh. Must've been a power failure.'

"Okay everyone! We're back in business!"

The crowd of students clapped for the DJ, as she picked up where she left off.

Back at the isolated table, the lone student had a smile on his face. Below the table, his phone read "Shutdown Program Off". He lifted the brim of his sombrero up.

He stared menacingly at Vinyl Scratch.

His eyes flashed green, as he let out a fangy grin.

"Soon," he spoke in a Spanish accent. "It will be my time. And I will reign once more."

He put his phone away, as he took out his guitar.

"Soon..."
