A/N: All right, folks, time to hear some noise and music as we begin this next episode!!!

Author's note
All right, folks, time to make some noise! It's time for the My Little Pony version of the third game of the Strong Bad's Cool Games for Attractive People. Time for some fun, folks!

This takes place during the third season of Rainbow Dash's E-Mails.

Episode 3: Baddest Night Ever

Chapter 1: Game Machine Broke Down

It was sometime a long time since the Equestria civil war and things went back to normal in Ponyville, or what's close to it anyway. But things are about to pick up very quickly and it all started at the home of Rainbow Dash who flew into a room where her Game Machine is at, sitting down to play another game on it.

"Okay, Game Machine. Time for you and I to have some fun." Rainbow remarks as she begins the game. The mare waits a while through the usual screen then smirks upon seeing the title one. "Oh yeah! It's Knightsahde's Amazing Space Adventure, loosely based on the life and times of the greatest rock band in Equestria named after a Ponyland legend! Okay, stallions, time for ya to be saved and ruled by my rock and roll ruleage! Roar!"

As the game begins, the head of Lefty Ponyrocini appears under the score, numbers of ponies saved and the level number, booming in a weird voice, "Rock on, Brony!"

Soon the game begins. It involves Rainbow controlling Knightshade's space van that shoots at the bad guys while using their beam to pick up a certain number of stallions in their bus. Things are doing all so well at first...but then Rainbow notices something's wrong: the game begins to distort.

"What the hay was that?" Rainbow ask in alarm. She continues playing the game as if it's no big deal. But then the colors begin to fluctuate. That doesn't look good. "Wait, hang on..." Soon the game begins to dissolved in a bunch of symbols. "No, wait, don't, no, no, no!!!"

Soon it happens: the game freezes completely with smoke coming out of the Game Machine! Rainbow screams in terror as this happens. Something is wrong with her game system!

Directed by JusSonic

"NOOOOOO! Buddy, no! Don't do this to me, please!" Rainbow screams to the Game Machine in horror. This cannot be happening to her! The mare just got a new game, she can't let it break the game system down now!

"Written by JusSonic, nobodiez, etc."

Suddenly something weird happens: a bunch of bats flew into her house and all around the mare. Rainbow yelps and stood up, waving her hooves to get rid of them while snapping, "Go away, scram! Shoo, get lost!!!"

"Programming Greenrob and Julayla Beryl"

The bats are gone. Rainbow sighs in relief but looks concerned at the Game Machine, with smoke wisping out. This isn't good. The mare remarks, "Horse apples and feathers! I just sprayed 3 cans of stuff into the cartridge slot earlier!"

"music originally by Matt and Mike Chapman"

"Great. Looks like I should take it to the only full-licensed video game expert in Ponyville. But since Time Turner is out of town on some business that he won't disclosed, I gotta asked the second closest...Twilight Sparkle." Rainbow said with a sigh. The mare has no choice but to get the Game Machine to an expert and get it fixed. Hopefully she doesn't have to pay for the repairs.

"Air direction cmara and Acosta jose perez Ramiro"

"homestar runner world originally created by Matt and Mike Chapman"

"my little pony friendship is magic originally created by lauren faust"

"No worries my broken down Fun Machine friend. Twilight will get you up and running in no time. That's a promise." Rainbow assures as she picks up the Game Machine. The mare goes over to a familiar Metal Detector and shovel waiting nearby. "Awesome! The Shadowbolts Detector thing, now with a built in shovel attachment!"

After taking the detector and shovel, Rainbow heads into another room, taking out a microphone that is on her person .The mare smirks while saying, "Hey ponies! Check out my Lefty Ponyrocini microphone! YEEAAAH!!!!" She screams into the mic, causing a box to appear nearby. "Cool!"

Rainbow looks underneath, picking up a t-shirt of a band. With a frown, the mare remarks, "'mushi mushi'? Those nerds with glasses? Well, I supposed I could put this thing into my pan-dimensional photo booth...and not wear it ever." The mare then goes into her living room, searching the couch. "Been a long time since I have search the couch for bits, chips or corpse parts. Hey, what's this?"

Rainbow took out some leopard print pants, saying, "Cool. Nothing said 'I got no business wearing this stuff' than leopard print pants. I think I will oil myself off until I can fit into them at the photo booth." The mare goes over to a familiar arcade machine nearby. "Well, once I get those replacement parts past those dopes at customs, I will get back to burning down pony peasants in the warmth and comfort of my home, just like Metal Iron meant it to be so."

The mare goes over to a familiar lounger and check it, mumbling, "Weird. Looks like something is wedged right in..." Rainbow reclines the chair and took out a collector's glass, much to her excitement. "Oh yeah! It's a Knightshade shot glass featuring High-Kicking Lefty Ponyrocini!"

In the kitchen, Rainbow open the fridge, taking out an aerosol cheese spray inside, commenting, "Awesome! A can of jalapeno-flavored aerosol cheese! Cheesy and easily one of my foamy orange food products of all time!" The mare checks out the microwave and touch it. She screams in alarm and pain as the thing electrocutes her. "Ouch! Dang, I think somepony put a bunch of forks and smorks in that thing last night!"

Rainbow leaves her home, preparing for a trip to Twilight's treehouse where the unicorn should be at. As the mare flew over head, she happens to spot a familiar big stallion practicing. He is a part of Rarity's band along with Fluttershy so Big Macintosh does a lot of it.

"Hey there, Big Mac! What's shakin'?" Rainbow ask Big Macintosh as he lands nearby the big stallion.

"Same old, Rainbow Dash, eeyup!" Big Macintosh greets Rainbow while nodding his head.

"So what is new in your monosyllabic world?"

"Our band 'Fashion Players' is playing today! Rock on!"

"Band practice, eh? Did you kick Rarity out yet?" Rainbow ask Big Macintosh with a devilish smirk.

"Nnope! No reason too! She brings the snacks and fashion!" Big Macintosh exclaims to Rainbow with a shrug.

"Right, fair enough. So who else is in Rarity's lame-o band?"

"Fluttershy, remember?"

"Aww hay! Why in the blazes did Rarity has to hog some of my pals? I mean, can't she at least start one of those lame bands with Lyra Heartstrings or make one made by the Cutie Mark Crusaders at a talent show once instead?" Rainbow ask in annoyance. The mare sighs as she continues,. "Hey, Big Mac? Try not to freak out but I got bad news about the Game Machine."

"Wait, is it okay?" Big Macintosh ask Rainbow in concern. The stallion loves playing that thing though he isn't good at video games, well most anyway.

"To be honest, there has been an accident and..."

"Nnope, nnope! Rainbow Dash, you gotta fixed it so I can played the Farmer Snakes Parade!"

"Right, right, I will make the Game Machine better, yeah!" Rainbow exclaims in alarm by how frantic Big Macintosh is. The stallion is obsessed with playing that 'Farmer Snakes Parade', which isn't a good game in the Pegasus pony's opinion.

"Eeyup! That game is good!" Big Macintosh exclaims with a nod.

"So...what if by any chance that the Game Machine is broken beyond repair?"

"I will go on a rampage and break stuff. Why?"

"Yeah, I thought so. So some bats got into my home earlier. Any chance that the Cutie Mark Crusaders are raising some bats to earn some cutie marks?" Rainbow ask Big Macintosh, wondering if the cutie mark finding fillies are trying to raise bats for their cutie marks.

"Eeyup! They're at it again! Save the bats! La la la!" Big Macintosh exclaims to Rainbow with a grin.

"So you like them too, right? Okay, this has been fascinating and articulate but I got to get the Game Machine repaired. Later!"

Rainbow sees Big Macintosh's chest nearby and picks up an album that is in there. It has a picture of a mare holding a sword on top of a car, surrounded by flames with a monstrous donkey nearby.

"Cool! I haven't seen this baby as in forever! Man, Apple Bloom sure wouldn't stop shutting up about it for days after I defaced this record into one 20% awesome cover idea! Why, if you put together one like this, you would see a lot of records!" Rainbow exclaims with a smile. She glances at the dressers. "This is where Big Mac keeps his extra singlets, gym docks and other farming/gym stuff."

Rainbow nods glances at the bass guitar, adding, "Yeah, Big Mac plays a heavy bass...and I do mean it literally. Those strings are cables which is used to hold up bridges in Ponyville!" The mare nods glances at a dumbbell nearby. "This is Posey, the favorite dumbbell of Big Mac. This baby may be heavy but at least she has one great personality."

Rainbow glances at a familiar...creepy...door nearby. It leads to the secret dungeon that Pinkie Pie put under Sugarcube Corner for some reason...and there is a creepy Pinkie Pie lookalike creature in there that gives ponies the brrs whenever she says some certain words...

And yet, Rainbow for some reason opens the door...and looks inside. Sure enough, there she is: Pinkamena Diane Pie, mane flat and creepy smile, glancing at her, saying eerily, "Your number just came uuuuuup!"

"AAARGH! BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR!" Rainbow screams in terror, flying all over place before closing the secret dungeon. After recovering, the mare shakes her head while groaning, "Man, that Pinkie Pie lookalike is creepy!!!! I don't know what I was thinking when we made 'Cupcakes'!"

Rainbow saw a familiar doll nearby, smirking while saying, "Check this out. It's the Miss Smartypants doll that Big Macintosh has gotten from Twilight. Hey, big guy! All right if I borrow this?"

"Nnope! Hooves off!" Big Macintosh snaps to Rainbow sternly, keeping Miss Smartypants II away from the mare.

"Okay, I will take that as a no then." Rainbow flew back into her home and right into her computer. The mare picks up a familiar lighter, commentating, "Oh yeah, I must've left this lighter here during last night's candlelight...'RDEmails After Dark session'. I think the AwesomeX has enough juice for now."

Rainbow tries to remove the plug that her laptop is plugged into but yelps as she got zapped in the progress, "Gah! Okay, then again, maybe not." The mare goes over to the upper light switch, flipping it, turning the lights off before turning them on. She then found a game manual page for a familiar game. "Cool! It's the cover to my Knightshade game in all its amazing licensed glory!"

Rainbow flew out of her home, then spots three familiar fillies looking at some journal stuff in the field. After landing,t he mare calls out, "Hey girls!"

"Sorry, Rainbow Dash, as much as I would love to hang out with you, I can't today." Scootaloo apologizes to Rainbow while keeping her eyes on the journal stuff.

"Right. So what are you doing?"

"We're working on 'de next task o' finding our cutie marks." Apple Bloom said to Rainbow with a smile. "We're working on being Cutie Mark Crusader Rock 'n' Roll Journalists."

"YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER ROCK 'N' ROCK JOURNALISTS!!!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders all cheer at once making Rainbow's mane blow back a bit.

"Wait...Rock 'n' Roll Jouranlists?" Rainbow ask a bit, then laughs like mad. These fillies? Journalists?

"Uh, what's so funny?" Sweetie ask Rainbow in confusion.

"I thought you three fillies have learned your lesson about writing stuff after the Gabby Gums incident! Ha ha ha ha!"

"Hey, that's only for a newspaper! Come on, this is freelance!" Scootaloo protests to Rainbow who kept on laughing. "Okay, laugh all you want, but you won't once we sold out poignant coming of age tales of our exploits to an awesome movie studio and get our cutie marks!"

"Right, I shouldn't..." Rainbow then laughs once more, making the trio of fillies sigh. After calming down, the mare then ask, "Err, I forget, what are you three doing again?"

"Oh, we done going 'ta start on finding our cutie marks o' becoming snooty rock 'n' roll..." Apple Bloom was interrupted as Rainbow laughs again. "...journalists."

"Sorry, sorry. I needed a good laugh after what happened today."

"Why? What happened today?"

"Seriously, hate to tell you girls this but the Game Machine is broken by someone." Rainbow said to the CMC seriously, yet hiding the fact as to how the Game Machine was broken in the first place.

"What?!" Sweetie gasps a bit at what Rainbow just said. "Someone?!"

"Yeah, her name is Someone Jackson or Someone Jackson Jr.! Listen, any chance you ponies can fix it?"

"Uh, we aren't looking for cutie marks in fixing video games, Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo explains to Rainbow with a shrug. "We would do it but not now."

"Why not asked Twilight? Besides Time Turner, she is one expert in electronic stuff." Apple Bloom suggests to Rainbow with a smile.

"Awww! I would but Twilight might do something lame like asking me to pay for it...with money!" Rainbow explains to the CMC girls with a worried look on her face.

Just then Twilight teleports from out of nowhere, remarking, "I also accept books, gems and toys for little Nyxie!" The ma re teleports right out, making Rainbow yelps a bit.

"Geez, and I thought Pinkie Pie was random! Anyway, you girls sure you can't fix the Game Machine?"

"All signs are clear. They said 'leave us alone and talk to Twilight!'" Sweetie snaps to Rainbow in annoyance.

Rainbow frowns at a bat hutch nearby, recalling the bats that flew into her home earlier. The mare ask suspiciously, "Say, Cutie Mark Crusader Bat Raisers, any chance you know anything about a bat infestation by any chance?"

"Ooh! You must've met the Von Blooder family! Besides becoming Rock 'n' Roll journalist, we are also working on becoming Cutie Mark Crusader Bat Raisers."

"YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER BAT RAISERS!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders all cheer at once more, blowing Rainbow's mane back by their shouting as well.

"Ugh, who are those bats again?" Rainbow ask, recovering from the yelling.

"'De Von Blooder family! They are a rare breed o' bats we adopted fro' Fluttershy!" Apple Bloom explains to Rainbow proudly. "We done raising them in our bat hutch!"

"Look, I don't care how cool their names are, tell them to stay out of my house! Aren't bat hutches supposed to be outdoors in the forest...or maybe in Rarity's Carousel Baroque?"

"Eeyup, normally, but 'de Von Blooders love 'de mixture an' damp 'dat mah farm has gotten."

"While I think that vampire bats are coolers, especially when ponies bit the heads off of them at some awesome concerts, let me say...I DON'T WANT THEM IN MY HOUSE!" Rainbow snaps to the Cutie Mark Crusaders angrily. "KEEP THEM OUT OR GET RID OF THEM!"

"No way, Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo snaps to Rainbow with a frown. "We aren't letting you bully us today"

"Fine. Listen, my mind told me that I should stop talking with you so that I get my Game Machine fixed." Rainbow flew over to be hutch while asking, "Hey girls? All right if I borrow? I am planning on doing something with that foil to really mess their solar radar up."

"Leave the Von Blooders alone, Rainbow Dash!" Sweetie snaps to Rainbow with a frown.

"Fine, fine, leave you foam in." Rainbow glances at a camera nearby. "So what's this? Taking up photography?"

"Oh, that's my Fashion Suddenly Shooter Camera that Rarity gave me! It is so rare that it used something called 'film' to make pics!"

"Cool. All right if I borrow it?"

"No, stop trying to swipe our stuff!" Scootaloo snaps to Rainbow in irritation. The mare groans a bit as she glances at a familiar sword nearby. Perhaps it's a bad idea to ask the ponies if she could borrow this as well.

As Rainbow flew away to continue their trek to the library, the mare takes out the microphone once more, yelling into it, "YEEAAAH!!!" Sure enough, a box appears. "Whoa!"

Rainbow begins peeking underneath the box, saying, "Box peering mare, hey!" She smiles as the mare picks up another Knightshade collector glass with another familiar member. "Awesome! It's a shot glass with amazingly tall Knightshade keyboard player Tamby Ponyrocini!"

Rainbow take out a map that is blank, the mare remarks, "Well, thanks to Princess Celestia for getting rid of my old map a while back, I have to make a new one. So let's find a place for the library." The mare put the library onto the map. "Okay, band practice at the Carousel Baroque, always good for a laugh and a heckle. Now where to put it on here?"

Rainbow put the Carousel Baroque onto the map then heads off to the library on a matter of life and death...for her Game Machine!

-----------

Twilight was busy doing her homework when Rainbow bursts in, holding her Game Machine in panic while yelling, "Twilight, Twilight! You gotta help! My Game Machine, it's broken and.."

"Okay, okay, relax, Rainbow, let me take a look at it." Twilight calms down her friend who puts it onto a library table. The unicorn looks at the Game Machine carefully. "Well, this should be easy to fix."

"Oh cool, I was afraid that..."

"But it will cost you though."

"Wait, what?" Rainbow ask Twilight in shock and disbelief. "But I thought you were going to do this for free! What kind of friend are you?!"

"Well, I'm sorry, I would do this for free but times has been rough for me! I got bills to pay! Plus, I have to order some parts, hire some more help besides Spike, get more supplies for some homework, that sort of thing!" Twilight explains to Rainbow with a sigh. "Anyway, this job will cost you...probably 2 million bits."

"Oh man! How the hay am I supposed to come up with that sort of cash?! The job at the weather thing didn't give me enough as it is!"

"Well, you could get another job. I can always get some extra help here at the library."

"No way! There has to be a more convoluted way...but how?" Rainbow ask Twilight with a big frown. The mare has to find another way to pay as extra jobs will take forever to earn. But how?

As if by imagination or magic, an image of Lefty's had appears near Rainbow, calling out, "Rock and Roll, Rainbow Dash!" As the head fades, the mare grins, having an idea. It will work!

"Wait, that's it! I got an idea! I will put on a Battle Royale of the Bands! The profits earned will surely fix my Game Machine!"

"Really? Are you sure you're only doing that just to get out of extra work?" Twilight ask Rainbow skeptically, knowing how her friend would do anything to get out of extra work for the Game Machine.

"Come on, Twilight! It's cool! And I know you wanna try it!" Rainbow exclaims to Twilight, playing on the mare's curiosity. Sure enough, it works.

"Weeeeelll...I have been meaning of giving this town some extra culture and attention. Perhaps a concert will be a good idea! I will even help you out!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I love side projects, I am even using magic to make a winter vest, see?" Twilight ask as she motions to a winter vest being made with her magic right now. "Something as a favor to Rarity."

"Cool, terrifying! So who shall I get for my Battle Royale of the Bands?" Rainbow ask Twilight anxiously. If this whole battle of the bands thing works, then the Game Machine will be fixed in no time!

"Hold it, not so fast as usual! First off, I gotta ask the Mayor for permission to do this. And before you start signing up any acts, you will need two things: Security and Celebrity Judges."

"Ugh, boooooring!"

"I'm serious! Without celebrity judges, no pony in their right mind would come see the acts that will pay to be in a contest." Twilight explains seriously to Rainbow. "And without security guards, we don't have any pony monitoring lines to the stands for Apple Ciders, toys and the toilets!"

"Oh man, who in their right mind would want that job?"

"Not sure but I made you these deluxe Security Jackets while you weren't looking." Twilight explains giving out three jackets to Rainbow who takes them. "Now then, find three ponies who wear these things then get some celebrity judges. Once you do, we will begin the whole battle of the bands thing."

"Fine. I still can't believe you would make me pay real bits for my Game Machine repairs...and we're supposed to be pals." Rainbow said to Twilight in frustration.

"Sorry, that's life, I guess."

"So how am I supposed to find any ponies to wear these ridiculous security jackets?"

"You could try lying through your teeth." Twilight suggests to Rainbow with a shrug. "Work with some ponies?"

"And what about ponies with no teeth?" Rainbow ask Twilight skeptically.

"Yeah, that would work too."

"Do you know how hard it is to find A-List celebrities in a town like this?"

"I know. When I was looking for some help to help the princesses, I skipped the A-List, the B-List and went straight to the Royal Guards Most Wanted List." Twilight comments as she uses her magic to show a picture of an ugly stallion wanted by the law with a FOOD PROCESSOR at the bottom. "Helps with the food processors though."

"Can't we asked the princesses to judge this?" Rainbow ask Twilight hopefully as the Pegasus pony heads outside the library. "I mean, they are celebrities, right?"

"Well, with them ruling Equestria and raising the sun and moon, they may not have any time for judging right now. Plus, I don't want to bug the princesses for this."

"Dang. Wait, what's this?" Rainbow saw a flyer hanging nearby on the library tree and takes it. "Some kind of old contest entry form? 'Win a Rip-Roaring' Rock-dezvous with Knightshade Album Cover Design Contest! Ponies, if you got any photos that you think is awesome and tough enough, just scribble your name and address right onto the back, ptu a stamp on and send it to blah blah whatever! If your photo is chosen, you get to spend a whole day with Knightshade for your Rip Roarin' Rock-dezcous!'"

Rainbow squeals eagerly before yelling, "An entire day with Knightshade at my call and beck?! That...would...be...so...TREMENDOUSLY AWESOME THAT IT HURTS MY BRAIN AND I NEED TO HIT MYSELF WITH LIGHTNING TO FIX IT!" Excitedly, the mare shows the flier to Twilight back inside the library. "Hey, egghead! If I win a day with Knightshade, any chance those ponies would be awesome celebrity judges for my concert?!"

"Knightshade? To be honest, I was interested in studying those guys and their music for quite some time now! They are the right amount of perfect celebrity judges for this!" Twilight exclaims with a smile. "Rainbow Dash, you get Knightshade, you got a deal!"

"Well, got rock history to write. Later, Twilight!"

"See ya later, promotinator!"

Rainbow heads off on a mission: to find security guards and win a day with Knightshade!

Author's note
And thus, the ultimate rock experience begins. In the next chapter, Rainbow works on tricking the Cutie Mark Crusaders into being security guards while she works on winning a day with Knightshade. Read, review and suggest.

Chapter 2: Security and Knightshade

Rainbow trots around, pausing to think up some strategies. She must win that day with Knightshade and get security. The mare decides on recruiting the CMC to be security guards but how to get them to do it?

Rainbow pauses a stencil nearby and takes it, remarking, "Must be the stencil that Twilight used for the security jackets."

Rainbow trots through the field, visiting the Tree, the Manticore drive-thru thing, her and of course the mare flew up to her kingdom of Cloudsdale. She spots the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Apple Bloom and Sweetie must've asked Twilight to use the cloud walking magic to come up here) looking around.

Rainbow got an idea as she put the stencil onto the fence, commentating, "Yeah, this looks like a good place for a stencil." The mare then takes out the aerosol cheese can and spray cheese onto the fence. After removing the stencil, she comments, "Awesome! That is a spicy piece of graffiti!"

"Hey there, Rainbow Dash!" Apple Bloom exclaims as she and her friends trot up to Rainbow. "Any chance 'dat 'dis is 'de fabled fence where hipsters an' ponies vandalize public property, putting names o' their favorite bands on here?"

"Sure is!"

"Good! We are snooty Cutie Mark Crusader Rock Journalists, coming 'ta look fer 'de next big thing 'ta be pretentious about."

"Ooooh, do tell."

"What's this?" Sweetie ask as she spots a new name on the fence. "'Security', eh? What is it?"

Rainbow saw her chance, she took the security jackets out while explaining in a hyped-out voice, "Yo fillies! Check these babies out!"

"Cool! What are they, what are they?" Scootaloo ask Rainbow anxiously.

"These are tour jackets for the hot new griffin band...pause for dramatic effect...Security!"

"So wait, yer're done talking about Security, 'dat hot new band 'dat ponies are talking about enough 'to vandalized about?" Apple Bloom ask Rainbow curiously.

"You betcha!" Rainbow exclaims with a hidden smile. She is almost there, the mare got to get these three fillies to take the bait.

"Wow! We gotta get some, girls!" Sweetie exclaims to her friends, all of them are hyped up. They must get jackets about the newest 'band' ever.

"Yeah! Where did you get those jackets?!" Scootaloo ask her idol excitedly.

"Sorry, you are shorta out of luck." Rainbow remarks with a shrug, pretending to be apologetic. "You these, these things got swapped by all the crazy hippies a few weeks ago. There are no more last, sadly."

"Awwwww!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders look down in disappointment and sadness.

"But...being a good friend that I am...I figure you three fillies can borrow my jackets for a while."

The Cutie Mark Crusaders gasp in surprise and hope. Sweetie ask Rainbow eagerly, "Really? You want us to borrow them?"

"Just try not to get them dirt...or take them off for a while, okay?" Rainbow ask with a sly smile while holding the security jackets to the CMC. This is perfect! The fillies have taken the bait! Now they gotta swallow it!

"Yeah! We done promise, we won't let yew down!" Apple Bloom exclaims as she and her pals take the jackets from Rainbow Dash. "Hip incred-ville, here we come, Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

The fillies cheers as they put the cameras on, Rainbow watch while they do so. A while later, the CMC grins as they are wearing the security jackets. Scootaloo ask her idol, "So what do you think? How do we look?"

"You trio of ponies sound like you could really tapped into today's underground music scene." Rainbow remarks to the CMC with a secret grin.

"Thanks! We gotta show this to everypony!" Sweetie cheers eagerly while jumping up and down. "I am soooooo excited about this, I can almost burst!"

"Yeah, let's show off 'ta Nyx first!" Apple Bloom giggles as she and her friends rushes off to head off to the library.

Rainbow gave a secret devilish smirks while saying, "Yeah...what don't you trio do that? Heh heh heh. This oughta be good."

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

Nyx was about to head out to play with her friends when she saw them coming up in the security jackets, humming. The alicorn filly calls out, "Hey girls! Whoa, love your jackets!"

"Thanks!" Scootaloo exclaims to Nyx proudly. "Rainbow Dash got them for us! What do you think?"

"Hey, security girls!" Twilight calls as she came out of the library, spotting the Cutie Mark Crusaders in their security outfits. "Ah, there you are."

As Rainbow arrives to watch, Sweetie looks amazed as she ask, "Wow, is that what you called fans of Security nowadays? Neat! Hello yourself, Security girl!"

"What are you on about? You all signed up to run security at Rainbow Dash's Battle Royale of the Bands!"

"What?!" The CMC screams in shock and alarm while Rainbow watch on with a smirk.

"But...Rainbow Dash said 'dat..." Apple Bloom begins to protest to Twilight in concern. She and her friends thought that Security was a cool new band, not actual security!

"Hee hee! Rainbow Dash has roped you three into being security guards." Nyx said to her friends with a mischievous smile. All three members of the prime CMC group looks stunned. They were tricked!

"Look, you trio of girls are wearing the new security jackets, right?" Twilight points out to the CMC sternly, making them a bit nervous.

"Yes, but..." Scootaloo begins to say but Twilight interrupts them.

"But nothing! Now take this Billy club and prepare to securitizing later!"

Twilight uses her magic to give a Billy club to the CMC who looks down as Apple Bloom takes the thing, saying, "Okay..."

"Look on the bright side, girls. You can get cutie marks in security work." Nyx explains to her friends, cheering them up a bit.

"Yeah...we could be...Cutie Mark Crusader Security Guards." Sweetie said, thinking thoughtfully of Nyx's suggestion.

"YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SECURITY GUARDS!" The CMC cheers at once, much to Twilight and Nyx's surprise before the trio runs off. Boy, they sure cheer up from that trick, didn't they?

Rainbow nods in satisfaction. She now got the security guards for her contest, now for the celebrity judges. The mare took out the album cover, glancing at it while saying, "Most coolest album art ever! Perhaps if I set up the photo like that and send it in, I will be in business. First the car part..." The mare flew over to her car, spotting the oil slick. She took her lighter out, saying, "Okay, what did Sweetie once told me about cleaning up oil spills?

-----------

Rainbow is talking with Sweetie Belle in a conversion about something. The filly, though speaking in the mare's voice, suggests, "Try setting it on fire?"

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

"Hey, thanks, Sweetie!" Rainbow exclaims with an smirk on her face.

"I didn't say that!" Sweetie, who somehow overheard Rainbow, protests as she gallops up to her.

"Too late! Ha ha ha ha!" Rainbow uses the lighter on the oil slick, causing it to catch fire. "Burning car, check. Now I need the monster, an imploding star and a hot mare with a sword."

Rainbow spots some sort of starfish on a stick that has a sign that says 'Read at the Golden Oaks Library'. The mare remarks, "Hay, Twilight doesn't really need this lighted star. So why would she wasted money on advertising since egghead got the only library in Ponyville?" The mare grabs the starfish before pointing to the library. "Plus, she's right over there."

Rainbow goes back to the car and says, "One fish, two fish, starfish...carfish!" The mare laughs as she flew up, putting the starfish on the car's antenna. "Oh yeah, glowly starfish. I like you as long as you don't make me barfish. Now I need the monstrous donkey and the hot mare with sword."

Rainbow flew back to Cloudsdale and uses the metal detector. The mare find something and digs up. She pulls out some Hoofywood Boulevard Boots, commentating, "Awesome! I cannot wait to go down Hoofywood Boulevard in these Hollywood Boulevards! I should try these on at the photo booth."

Rainbow uses her metal detector now to scan around the library. Soon she finds something, using the shovel to dig and pulls out some sort of poster that has Twilight and Spike on it, along with the name 'Magical Duo', a band that the two has before they split up.

"This is the Magical Duo poster from the last concert before their unfortunate breakup." Rainbow comments. The mare goes over to the brick wall then takes the mike out, screaming into it, "YEEAAHHH!"

Soon a box appears, making Rainbow smiles while exclaiming, "Ta-daaa!" The mare flew over and looks under the box. "Box peering mare, hey!" The mare pulls out a head band from under it. "A head band. I can use this baby to keep sweat out of my eyes while I'm making power ballads in my photo booth!"

Rainbow flew over to the Carousel Baroque where Rarity's band 'Fashion Players' are playing at. Perhaps one of the female ponies can be in the photo. The mare saw a Zen Rock nearby and takes it.

"Now I am carefully arranging this rock in...my wings, I will it will enhance my overall serenity." Rainbow comments. The mare then uses the metal detector, searching around until it found something. Rainbow uses the shovel to dig then pulls out another glass for Knightshade. "Awesome! A Knightshade shot glass of Juley Ponyrocini demonstrating the hardest chord ever!!!

Rainbow goes inside the Carousel Baroque, the band which consists of Rarity, Fluttershy and Big Macintosh is already performing in there. The mare flew up to Rarity herself, saying, "Hey Rarity!"

"Take five, darlings." Rarity said, signaling her band members to stop playing for a while. "Well, Rainbow Dash? What do you want?"

"What are you ponies practicing for?"

"Glad you asked! Fashion Players has been asked to perform a concert to benefit the endangered Equestrian bat..." Rarity motions to a cage where a bat named Bruce isa t in. "Why look at poor little Bruce over there."

"Yuck, just lost interest!" Rainbow exclaims in disgust. "Well, stay uncool!"

"You know it, darling!"

Rainbow leaves the Carousel Baroque while scowling. That was pointless...but since Big Macintosh and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are busy, that means that the mare got some new stuff to swipe!

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


Rainbow returns to where she saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders were at, the bat hutch is still where it's at. The mare put it on herself, saying, "Putting bat hutches in my wings! Hope I don't get bit!" The mare then snatches the camera, saying, "Now with this Fashion Suddenly Shooter Camera by my side, I will shoot all sorts of automatic pictures...all of the sudden!"

Rainbow flew over and takes the fake sword, remarking, "Not sure what I find more amusing: the girls' continuing trek for their cutie marks despite the obvious or this padded safety sword. Eh, may as well call it a tie." The mare then flew back to where she saw Big Macintosh before. "Good, he is still gone."

Rainbow flew to Miss Smartypants II, saying, "Ah the mighty Miss Smartypants, her natural ability made her attracted to big stallions and temporarily mares for a while, making her virtual invisible to predators in her native environment...which was of course an Earth pony's barn." She grabs it and heads back to the Carousel Baroque.

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

Upon returning to the Carousel Baroque, Rainbow got to work, he spoke up to Rarity, "Hey Rare!"

"What is it now, Rainbow Dash?" Rarity ask Rainbow impatiently as the mare took out a familiar sword.

"All right if you hold this foalie for me?"

"Dare I ask why?"

"Oh, I'm working on one awesome album cover. I need a hot mare to pose in a bikini with a giant sword on top of a flaming car! And while you aren't really all that hot..." Rainbow as interrupted as Rarity, anger by the comment, whacks her hard. "Ouch! Okay, so you will think about it then? Luckily for yours truly, Rarity isn't the only mare in this town who can be hot...next to me of course."

Rainbow turns her attention to Fluttershy, saying, "Hey there Fluttershy! Yours truly got an awesome idea!"

"Really? What is it?" Fluttershy ask Rainbow curiously.

"I need one hot mare to hold this sword for the most Greatest Album Cover Ever. And you're the closest thing available! What do you say?"

"Oh, um... I'd love to, as long as I don't get attacked by paparazzi."

"Relax, with how the cover will be changed later, I doubt anypony would recognize ya." Rainbow assures Fluttershy with a chuckle.

"Whew! Then I'll do it." Fluttershy said as she grabs the sword from Rainbow then cheers proudly while a fanfare is playng.

"Oh yeah! I need that I would count on you, Fluttershy! The shoot will be at the car so I will see you there. And don't forget to wear a bikini!"

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

Rainbow returns to the car, smiling upon seeing Fluttershy already on top of the car, wearing a bikini and holding the fake sword. The cyan Pegasus pony remarks, "Hey Fluttershy! Thanks for doing this. You ready?"

"Not sure." Fluttershy said to Rainbow meekly. "Is it even ready yet?"

"Oh yeah, it doesn't feel ready yet, is it?" Rainbow backs away a bit, then continues, "And now...through the magic of forced perspective, the unsuspecting car will be threatened by the long thought legend..." The mare then puts Miss Smartypants II Onto the ground. "GIANT SMARTYPANTS!!!! ROOOOOOOOOARRRR!"

If one looks in another way, one may see the doll appears to be threatening the car with Fluttershy. Rainbow continues roaring, "ROOOOOOOOARRRR! Awesome! Okay, Fluttershy! Ready for some magic?"

"Oh, can you snap the picture please?" Fluttershy pleads to Rainbow meekly. "I have been standing here for a few minutes and the fire ring is making me nervous."

"Relax. Let me get my F-stop adjusted. Right, I am feeling lucky about this. Let's see...." Rainbow said as she got the camera out, backing away while checking to see if each item is available. "Okay, monstrous donkey? Check. Burning car? Got it. Imploding star, totally check. Hot mare with a sword? Check!"

Fluttershy smiles while doing a pose. Rainbow calls out, "Fluttershy, time for us to make some band album cover history! How about giving one good scream, something that requires 'terrified', 'determined' and 'ooh, my dress'."

"Okay." Fluttershy clears her throat then made one huge scream, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!" With how high-pitched her scream is, familiar bats appears to be summoned as they flew around with the yellow mare doing another cute pose.

"Oh yeah, great! Better take this before I lose the light or something!" Rainbow soon take the picture itself. As we see it, the whole thing appears to be different than seen in reality. Back in the real world, the mare smiles while asking, "Boy, did I choose the right lens or what? This is the most 20% awesome album cover ever! Better send this photo off to Knightshade before the coolness of this thing freezes a hole in my wings!"

"Err, Rainbow Dash? If you don't need me for anything else..."

"Yeah, go ahead. Go back to your band."

"Thanks."

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

Back at her home, Rainbow flew over to the mailbox while saying, "Time for us to do this!" The mare took out the photo along with the pen, writing on the back of the former. "Okay...'Win a day with Knightshade contestant...Equestrian Island...12345.' Oh boy, rock star immortality...here I come!"

Rainbow put the photo into the mailbox before closing it. Now all she has to do...is wait and hope for the best...

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

It took only a few days or so but a letter came for Rainbow. The mare takes it out of her mailbox with hope. Could it be what she was hoping for?

"'Dear Miss Dash, are you ready to rock harder than anypony in your simply mare teenage peer group has ever ocked? Because your bodacious album cover is the...'" Rainbow squeals a bit, increased her excitement tone of voice. "...winner of the Rip-Roarin' Rock-dezvous with Knightshade contest!!!! Just inform us when and where you will have your day and we will be there, ready to sock your rocks right off! Keep on ponying, Knightsahde!"

Rainbow squeals some more as she puts the letter away, exclaiming, "Yes! Knightshade is mine...or they will be once those guys judged my contest! I wonder if Twilight ready to get some bands now. I gottta tell her!"

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

Twilight saw Rainbow flying into the library, smiling eagerly as she exclaims, "Twilight! Guess what celebrity judges that I got for the Battle of the Bands!"

"Oh, I don't know. Who did you get?" Twilight ask Rainbow, though the purple unicorn already knows whom Rainbow has gotten to be judges for the battle of the bands.

"Oh...nothing much...but a small time band called KNIGHTSHADE!!!" Rainbow squeals like one loud band, waving the letter and flier to Twilight excitedly.

"Knightshade?! Wow! Imagine anypony making millions selling mane-spray and scarves of them! Well, Rainbow Dash, you got your celebrity judges and gotten the Cutie Mark Crusaders to be security. Now I'm heading over to City Hall to ask permission from the Mayor. Wait right here."

Twilight gallops out of the library, leaving Rainbow alone. The mare waits for only a few minutes until her friends came back, with a grin on her face.

"Well?" Rainbow ask Twilight with a smile, though the Pegasus pony knew that she has gotten her answer already.

"She said yes! The Mayor loves the idea of your concert as well as Knightshade judging! The whole thing will be this weekend!" Twilight exclaims with a smile. "Now it's time to sign up some acts!"

"Some acts, great idea!"

"Here are the entry forms." Twilight said as she uses her magic to bring some entry forms from her saddlebag that she herself is wearing. "The Mayor gave me these for the contest. I believe the entry fees from 3 bands should be enough to help repair your video game system."

"3 is what I need! Let me put my concert promoter hat on..." Rainbow chuckles as she pretends to put on a large, floppy brimmed hat. "Okay, time to sign up some bands." The mare takes the entry forms from the purple unicorn. Now to find some bands!

"And while you do that, I will get some ponies to help set up the stages, concession stands and the whatnot for the battle of the bands!"

"So egghead, got any tips on some hot bands to sign up?"

"Let's see...Fashion Players is playing over at the Carousel Baroque." Twilight said as she thought up some bands for Rainbow to sign up. "And of course I've heard that Sapphire Shores herself is looking for some new talent over at the club..."

"Wait, didn't you and Spike used to be in a band once?" Rainbow ask, recalling Twilight and Spike's band 'Magical Duo'. Needless to say, the purple unicorn looks upset over that.

"Ugh! I don't want to start on that fire breathing sellout right now!"

Rainbow watches as Twilight trots away to get to work. The mare nods a bit, now she needs to sign up some bands.

Author's note

Chapter 3: Newest Singing Sensation

It was a bit later as Rainbow goes up to Twilight, the mare is working with some stallions on one of the stages. She calls out, "Yo, Twilight!"

"Hey Rainbow Dash!" Twilight exclaims, smiling at her friend.

"You actually think that ponies would want to see a frou-frouy like band that Rarity has?"

"Doesn't matter. As long as you entry feed's them, it's fine by me. Besides, Rarity's band may surprised you yet."

"I would be surprised but good point." Rainbow said with a nod. "So you really think that Sapphire Shores is worth signing up for my concert? She hasn't done any singles or concerts lately."

"True, but she can tickle the ivories as well as some Bronies." Twilight giggles to Rainbow a bit. "I did mentioned that Sapphire is looking for a singer. That could be a nice addition."

"Say, Twilight, why not sign up for my Battle of the Bands? You got one awesome singing voice."

"Well, while I do agreed with you, I don't do bands anymore. I don't have time and reason to do so!"

"What happened to that band that you and Spike used to be in?" Rainbow ask Twilight puzzled. The Pegasus pony knows that her friend and Spike was in a band until they broke up but never understood why.

Twilight with a sigh uses her magic to make a record album for Magical Duo appears. As she gave it to Rainbow, the mare explains, "Magical Duo. Oh, we were tight back when we were still living in Canterlot. Even when I was studying under the princess, I got my wild side when doing performances with Spike. Of course, we broke up when we first moved here. And then, a few months or so, later, we try to restart our band...until Spike went soft! Our songs were about sticking it to the mare as well as kicking it to the toy!"

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

Little filly Twilight and Baby Spike laughs as they hung out in front of the academy building, doing a performance as the two kicks an animal toy back and forth. The baby dragon does some singing.

Spike: My name is Spike
And Twilight is my cohort.
Put on your toy kickers,
And let's kick-a The Short


"Hee hee, that is funny, Spike!" Twilight giggles happily. The filly has a good reason to believe that, despite some protests from the teachers as well as their family, their wild band will last a very long time.

----------

"Unfortunately, nowadays, Spike has been obsessing over Rarity, sleeping in late, eating gems when he wasn't supposed to....UGH!" Twilight exclaims to Rainbow in a tone that hints both disgust and annoyance. "What kind of band is that? Sorry but until Spike starts acting like the way that he used to be, Magical Duo is gone-o!"

"So you won't enter the Battle Royale?" Rainbow ask Twilight with a frown.

"Nope, not while Spike is half lazy and a sell-out in the band type kind of way!"

"Okay, I see. So what if by any chance that Spike become...cool again?" The two ponies pauses to absorb this information...then they laugh like mad. Rainbow calms down enough to speak, "Oh man! That is so much a keeper! But seriously: if Spike became the bad dude you knew him as when you were a filly. What then?"

Twilight, calming down, spoke, "So what if? Seriously? Well, if by an unlikely or unexpected events that Spike acted like his baby mischievous self, like breaking the rules like I sometimes did which I don't like to admit to the princess, causing trouble, that sort of thing that we used to rhyme about...then yes, I might consider joining back with him. I am not counting on it but surprises can happen."

"Break law, cause trouble, okay. I got rock history to write so later, Twilight!"

"Catch ya later, promtinator!"

Rainbow trots away as she got her map out, the club where Sapphire Shores herself is at is already on it. The map knows what the Pegasus pony must do: sign up Sapphire Shores as well as Rarity's lame band, then reunite Twilight and Spike for their own band to sign them up. Sounds tricky but Rainbow has done the impossible before.

"Well, I gotta speak with Spike to help get him back together with Twilight for their band. Now where to put that secret cave that he likes to hang out at from time to time?" Rainbow ask as he found a place, putting Spike's secret place on the map. "Now then, time to recruit Sapphire Shores."

--------

The club is jamming a bit with some ponies dancing, singing, eating and doing what it is that they normally do at clubs. Rainbow arrives to see popstar singing pony Sapphire Shore herself looking at some photos. The mare is considering which star will be the best, the photos themselves consider of Iron Will and Granny Smith. Of course, Rainbow knew that those ponies (and Minotaur) aren't cool choices for singers at all.

Rainbow spots Pinkie nearby, anxious about something. She must be looking to have fun...or doing an audition. The mare trots over to Sapphire's table, calling out, "Hey here Ms. Shores!"

"Hmm?" The popstar ask as she looks up to see Rainbow Dash. "Oh, you must be Rarity's friend, Rainbow Dash. You here to give me an audition?"

"What? No, to be honest..."

"Then get lost! I cannot be disturbed while I'm looking for new singing sensations to work with!"

"Geez, sorry. Uh, guess she needs a singer to work with and doesn't want to be disturbed." Rainbow mumbles the last part to herself. The mare trots over to Pinkie who is happily singing to herself.

"Do we mi so what I must gooooo!" Pinkie sings to herself happily.

"Hey, Pinkie! What are you doing hanging out in this club? There aren't any cupcakes to be fond."

"Hey Dashie! I am trying to get the courage to do an audition for Sapphire Shores over there!"

Rainbow glances at the busy Sapphire while asking Pinkie, "Audition? For what if I dare ask?"

"Oh, Miss Shores is touring all of Equestria for a singer to work with, to jazz up her stylings!" Pinkie exclaims happily to Rainbow. "I got a wonderful singing voice and love to sing in front of ponies! I figure working with the great Sapphire Shores will make more ponies smile!"

"That figures. So why aren't you doing an audition for her? Besides being random enough that you could scare Sapphire off?"

"I would...except I forgot my accompany music. Can't sing without help."

"Sapphire Shores appears to be a popstar mare on a mission." Rainbow said, commentating on what Sapphire is doing.

"Yep! She is going through a lot of pictures and demo tapes in hoping to turn her solo act into one smash hit duo!" Pinkie exclaims to Rainbow with a nod.

"And how is she going to pick potential partners somehow?"

"Sapphire Shores is going for the smooth voice, good looks and handsom gams, whatever that means. Most of all of course, she is looking for someone who can improvise lyrics to go along with that piano playing that Sapphire's been doing."

"Hmmm, hey Pinkie Pie! How about a one-way coach-class ticket to total stardom?" Rainbow ask as she took out some entry forms. Perhaps someone like Pinkie would be good to be in a concert.

Pinkie, interested, ask eagerly, "Wowie, a Battle of the Bands?!"

"Yep! For a handful of bits, you could be the next Knightshade!"

"Nice! But, I thought got a handful of bits on me...and I am not in a band...well, not yet anyway."

"So you sure you don't wanna sign up for the Battle of the Bands?" Rainbow ask Pinkie with a frown.

"Not now, but if I could just nail this audition..." Pinkie said with a frustrated sigh. If the mare can win an audition for Sapphire Shores, then she is one step closer to smiles-ville.

"Well, break a hoof, buddy!"

"Eeek! Don't say that."

Rainbow saw a cooker near Sapphire Shores and goes near it, commentating, "Cool, an electric stew pot." The mare touches it but got burnt in the progress, causing her to elp.

Sapphire chuckles in amusement, "Seems like you got 'burnt' by the competition. Heh heh heh.":

"Well, making some victory chowder after you get your singer, huh? Tasty! Perhaps I could make some bubbling cheese lava enough to dangle Fluttershy over." Rainbow took out the aerosol cheese and sprays the stuff into the pot, resulting in some fondue. "Cool, I made some awesome fondue, even better to dangle Fluttershy over."

"Yes, looks impressive."

Rainbow looks at the player and took out a record, saying, "Cool, this is Sapphire Shore's instrumental photo albums. How she manages to get some cool colts without a voice like mine or guitars is beyond me." The mare then got an idea. She shows the record to Pinkie while saying, "Say, Pinkie. Check out this vintage retro-ironic vinyl wax!"

"'Food-Related Love'!" Pinkie giggles as she bounces up and down upon seeing the record in Rainbow's mouth. "That's what I need for my audition! Play it up so I can work my magic!"

Although Rainbow is confident of Pinkie's singing abilities and her ability to make ponies smile, it may take more than those to impress Sapphire Shores. The Pegasus pony flew over to the turntable, putting the record on the player while making like a DJ player, "All righty, and now a moldie oldie from the Sapphire-o herself!"

Rainbow turns the player on and soon music begins to play. This catches Sapphire's notice as she looks up to see Pinkie stepping out onto the floor, beginning to sing.

Pinkie: Colt, we got a food-related love.
And it makes me wanna sing!
It's a hot 'n' tangy feeling, kinda like a...


Pinkie needs help so Rainbow flew over to a table where a plate of tofu buffalo wings, pointing to it. The pink pony saw it as she continues singing.

...like a tofu buffalo wing!
Bleu cheese or ranch.
We can dine in, or we can take it to go.
Our food-related love makes me all tipsy, kinda queasy, like a...


Pinkie saw Rainbow flying over to a table where a bottle of wine is at, pointing to it quickly.

...like a pint of merlot!
I used to think it was mer-lot, until you told me it was not.
And when we food-related kiss, it never food-related fails.
Our lips are slimy, juicy, like a...


Sapphire and ponies watching are getting more impressed by the singing. As Pinkie pause, her friend flew over to a table that held escargot, pointing at it. This caught the pink pony's attention as she continues on.

...like these hot buttered snails! Sooo nasty.
They're so gross, and buttery, and they move so slow.
They're just like me, colt.
The way I move across the dance floor.


Sapphire, more impressed, watches as Pinkie continues singing while trotting towards her.

Our love is related to food, and you know that it's true.
It's warm and bubbly too, just like a... umm... like a ...
Hang on colt, gimme a minute...


Pinkie is having difficulty but luckily, Rainbow points to the cooker repeatedly until she notices.

...just like a pot of fonduuuuuue!

Bass Singer: Yeah.

Pinkie: {Falsetto} Just like a pot of fondue!

Bass Singer: Pot.

Mr. Bump: {Normal voice} Ohhh, fondue is related to food.

Bass Singer: That's true.

Pinkie: In fact, I think it might be a food.
Ohhh, fondue.
It's so warm and it's gooey.


Pinkie, done singing, finishes up the song in a speaking voice, "Fonduey. So truey."

Sapphire and ponies cheers and applauds, the popstar exclaims, "You are incredible, you are wonderful!"

"Incredible, wonderful, me? Awww, go on!"

"No, no! Truly you have a singing talent here in Ponyville! I believe I found the next star that I was looking for! I will be happy if you join my new band!"

"Me, a star?" Pinkie ask excitedly, this is a dream come true! "Oh thank you, Miss Shores, I won't let you down!"

Rainbow smiles as she takes the entry forms out, putting them onto the table to show to the band. The mare said, "Well, Miss Shores, now that you found your new singing buddy, why don't we talk about my Battle of the Bands concert?"

"Battle of the Bands? Cool! Let's do it!"

"Oh, I don't know." Sapphire said reservedly. "I mean, I just got you on board, missy. You aren't ready for the big time yet."

"What? Not ready? Awww, I was training my lungs out for hours." Pinkie said, her mane and tail went flat as she looks down in sadness. "You don't have any belief in me. I knew it..."

"Oh sorry, sorry. Very well..." Sapphire sighs in resignedly. She hates to see her new singer this sad so the popstar pony takes a form and sign it, giving the form back to Rainbow. Pinkie, upon seeing that, smiles as her mane and tail goes back to normal (or what counts as normal for her anyway)!

"Yay. I knew it, I wouldn't let ya down, Colonel Shores!"

"Looks good." Rainbow said with a chuckle as she put the entry form away. One form down, 2 more to go. "Now then, for the entry free..."

"No offense, Miss Dash, but I don't think I can trust a pony like you with my money." Sapphire points out to Rainbow with a frown. "How do I know that you won't keep it down and spend the bits for yourself?"

"Yeah, right. We will send Twiliey a check." Pinkie remarks in agreements. Figures that the band won't trust Rainbow with their bits. Oh well.

Rainbow goes near the phone and takes the bite out, yelling into it once more, "YEEEEEAH!" Soon, like a few times before, a box appears. "Awesome!" The mare looks under it, taking out a poster for Sapphire Shores. "A smoooooth poster for Sapphire Shores. Sometimes I wonder how many hot teenage colt rock ponies got these things on their bedroom walls."

As Rainbow leaves the club, she looks at the map, looking at it. Next up, the mare must sign on Rarity's band Fashion Players.

Author's note
So far, so good now that Pinkie and Sapphire Shores has signed up. In the next chapter, Rainbow plans on signing up Fashion Players but the band is already scheduled for their benefit concert for the endangered bats so the Pegasus pony must convince them that it isn't so endangered. Also, Rainbow begins work on reuniting Twilight and Spike. Read, review and suggest.

Chapter 4: Save the Bats!

The Fashion Players are still rehearsing when Rainbow came back. The mare trots up to Rarity while saying, "Hey, Rarity."

"Well, take five again. Yes, what is it, Rainbow Dash?" Rarity ask Rainbow, wondering what the Pegasus pony wants this time. The mare grins as she takes out an entry form.

"So are Fashion Players fashionable and cool enough to complete in my Battle Royale of the Baaaands, or what?"

"Battle Royale of the Bands...on this weekend? Nice. Too bad though"

"Wait, what do you mean 'too bad'?" Rainbow ask Rarity with a frown, wondering why the unicorn said that all of the sudden.

"Well, your concert is on the same weekend as the benefit show that we're playing for the endangered Equestrian bat like poor Bruce over there." Rarity explains while motioning to Bruce. "We can't canceled that just for a contest."

"Ugh, you're turning down as hot at the big time for a bunch of pink, dark cruelly blood suckers?"

"Yes. Now if it turns out that Bruce's species isn't endangered, we may change our minds. Of course, that won't happen until I see it."

Rainbow sighs in annoyance. As long as Rarity's band is playing for that dumb benefit show, they won't sign up for the Battle Royale. Something must be done. The Pegasus pony then spots some glamour shots near Rarity's answering machine.

"Fashion Players glamour shots, suitable for framing, autographs or elaborate voodoo rituals. Perhaps I will take one...in case I wanna ask Zecora to put an emergency hex on Rarity later. Heh heh heh." Rainbow chuckles while snatching a photo. The mare flies back to Rarity, showing the photo. "Hey Rarity. Mind signing this Fashion Players picture?"

"Certainly, darling!" Rarity exclaims with a smile, she is always eager to do autographs for fans. "And to who shall I make it out too?"

"Try making it out to Twilight."

"Very well..." Rarity then uses her magic to write onto the picture. "'Dear Twilight Sparkle, thanks for the books, friendship and the free recyclable guitar picks. Rarity.' There you go."

"Thanks!" Rainbow exclaims while taking the picture. The mare then goes back to the pile of glamour shots then smirks as she took another one. "I think I will take this one." Rainbow shows that poster to her friend. "Hey, Rarity! How about signing another Fashion Players picture?"

"Of course, who shall I make it out to?" Rarity ask Rainbow with a smile.

"Make it out to Pinkie Pie!"

Rarity takes the picture, frowning as she writes on the glossy. The mare snaps angrily, "Ugh! What, that pony is too busy to do so herself? Fine here!"

Rarity gave the picture back to Rainbow, the latter looks at it and yelps, "Whoa! Is there such a thing as 'written domestic abuse'?" The mare glances at another glossy. "I will take another one." Rainbow grabs another picture before showing it to Rarity, "Hey Rare, how about signing another Fashion Players picture?"

"Of course and who shall I make it out to this time?" Rarity ask Rainbow, wondering whom the next picture will be for this time.

"Yours truly, the 'Awesome Rainbow Dash'!"

Rarity snatches the picture and angrily wrote onto the glossy, fine. 'To awesome Rainbow Dash, you aren't always awesome. Love, Rarity'."

Rarity gave the photo to Rainbow, the mare frowns while snapping, "Whatever! I was going to throw cupcakes at it later anyway!" The mare looks at the glossies while taking another. "Again, I'm taking another one." Rainbow once more shows the next photo to Rarity, asking, "Wanna sign this Fashion Players picture?"

"Of course and who shall I make it out to this time?" Rarity ask as she takes the picture from Rainbow.

"Hmmm, how about making one out to Derpy Hooves?"

"Wait, Derpy's a fan?"

"Oh, Derpy raves about Fashion Players all the time!" Rainbow insists with a chuckle. "Well, maybe I think she does. Who knows, that goofy pony is always raving about something or another."

"I see, fascinating! Let's see..." Rarity said as she begins writing on the glossy. "'Dear Derpy Hooves. Muffins carriage sonic rainbooms, Rarity Ball." The mare smiles while giving the photo back to Rainbow.

"Yeah, nice." Rainbow remarks dryly. She flies back to the glossies once more. "I think I will take one more." After taking another picture, Rainbow heads back to give that one to her friend. "Hey Rarity! Mind signing one more Fashion Players picture?"

"Sure thing! And who shall I make it out to?" Rarity ask Rainbow while taking the picture for one more autograph.

"Hmmm, how about making one out to Spikey?"

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, nothing against my little Spikey Wikey but he has been sending us some pretty disturbing fan mail lately..."

"Awww, that's Spike being himself." Rainbow remarks to Rarity with a sly chuckle. That Spike, always drooling over the white unicorn.

"Oh, very well." Rarity said with a very resigned voice. The mare then uses her magic to write once more with her pen onto the picture. "'Dear Spikey Wikey, all my best, Rarity'." The mare then gives the photo back to Rainbow after the signing is done.

"Oh yeah, he will love it. I'm sure."

Rarity now leaves the Carousel Baroque. She got to see to it that Bruce's species isn't really 'endangered'. But first, a visit to Spike's secret place.

---------

Spike's secret place isn't that hard to find. It's really the locker room for RDTAU (which isn't real but eh). The baby dragon is in there, depressed while sighing, "Rarity..."

"Hey Spike!" Rainbow exclaims with a smile. Spike straighten up upon seeing the mare

"Oh, hey Rainbow Dash!"

"Wow, I gotta say this, I really hate what you did to the place."

Rainbow was right, Spike has use a dragon stamp to stamp on certain objects and places into the locker room. The baby dragon rubs the back of his head, saying, "Awww, come on, Rainbow Dash! I have found out that stamping my name on stuff helps me keep my name off of more important matters...like unrequited love." Spike sighs sadly at the last part.

"Ick, I bet." Rainbow remarks in a bit of disgust by what Spike just said. "So, are you done treating the locker room like your undies at home?"

"Nah, not yet. I still gotta do the same thing to the urinal cakes, the shower cakes and the cup cakes..."

"Cupcakes, now that's...wait, what the hay am I saying? So what's with the lame sighing about Rarity though I kinda figure out why already?"

"Awww, Rarity...my little unicorn with that beautiful mane and tail." Spike said with a wistfully sigh.

"Ugh. Look, while I may be a bit disgusted to say this, if you are into Rarity, how about telling her how you feel like that one time when you were once Spikezilla?" Rainbow ask Spike, pretending to have interest in the baby dragon's love life. "I like watching disasters."

"Gah, I'm too freaked! I didn't tell her all the way back then, I mean...what if Rarity rejects me? If only I could get a sign from her..."

"A sign, eh? Say, ever thought of reuniting with Twilight for a Magical Duo Reunion?"

"To be honest, I thought so before but ever since the break up, Twilight thinks I have gone soft and lazy!" Spike explains to Rainbow while sighing. "Besides, I am too depressed right about other things...Rarity...Rarity..."

"So Twilight is really against the idea of a Magical Duo Reunion, huh?" Rainbow ask Spike curiously.

"Yep, unless I can somehow get Rarity out of my head and get my street cred back..."

"Right, you know what? I'm going to back off and leaves you to your moping." Rainbow remarks dryly making Spike sighs miserably. The mare then smirks as she took out an autographed picture for Spike,. handing to him while speaking in a sing-songy voice, "Oh, Spike! I got ya something."

"What? I'm obsessing and compulsing now right. What could it be?" Spike ask, frowning as he takes the picture. The baby dragon begins to read, "'Dear Spikey Wikey, all my best, Rarity.'. Spike looks surprised, getting excited. "Whoa, do you hear that?! All her best, that must be a legal marriage in some places!!!"

"Well, if I were ya little guy, I would get on over to the Carousel Baroque before she goes downgrade to some of her best!"

"Good idea, thanks Rainbow!"

Spike heads off in a big hurry, under the expression that Rarity really wants to be with him. Rainbow, shaking her head, grabs a roll of toilet paper, saying, "No worries, my little rolls of marginally-absorbent toilet paper. Mommy Rainbow Dash will save you from the unspeakable gluteal regions that is called Spike." The mare puts the toilet paper away and opens the middle locker, taking out a bottle of bleach. She reads the label, "'Warning, this stuff is caustic, vile and dangerous. Make sure to handle with protective gloves or headgear, or you may get severe bleaching, poisoning and probably not so-good side effects.'"

Rainbow puts the bleach away while remarking, "Cool! Caustic, vile, gloves and headgear...it's as if this stuff was made for me!" The mare opens the left-hand locker, taking out a poster for Fashion Players. She remarks dryly, "Wow...a poster from Fashion Players' last tour."

Next up, Rainbow goes into the shower and pulls out a wire hanger, remarking with a smirk, "Well, well, Mr. Wire Hanger, not so high and mighty now, are we? Ha ha ha ha."

Rainbow then leaves the locker room, she heads on her way home. The mare must make the band of Fashion Players thinks that Bruce isn't the only Equestrian bat in the country...and luckily for her, she knows of a way to make that happen

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

Once Rainbow heads home, she goes into the laundry room, pouring a lot of bleach into the washer. The mare comments, "There, that oughta get the strains out of...well, everything, I guess." Next up, she puts the bat hutch into the washer while singing, "Washing up the fillies's bats... maybe someday, I should wash my pants."

Satisfied, Rainbow turns the washer on, waiting a few seconds. Once the machine stops, she got the bat hutch out and grins. The bats inside the hutch itself definitely looks like Bruce! Why, with these blood suckers, anyone could mistake them for Equestrian bats.

"Awesome! These bats has been bleached white than the time Richard Coltor impression of Applejack's!" Rainbow laughs eagerly. Time to head back to the Carousel Baroque for a date with rock history, so to speak.

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

As Rainbow arrives back at the Carousel Baroque, she sees Spike outside, looking worried. It's obvious to the mare that he wants to go inside to see Rarity but he doesn't know what to do.

"Hey, Spike, how's your stomach turning quest for Rarity going?" Rainbow ask Spike with a mischievous grin.

"Not good." Spike answers Rainbow nervously. "I mean, I'm here now but I am frozen still. What can I do?"

"Well, I ain't any expert when it comes to romance but how about holding a boom box over your head while playing a song?"

"Nah, did that once...didn't go too hot..."

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

Spike looks hopefully as he stood in front of a car near the Carousel Baroque. In hopes to win Rarity over, the baby dragon is holding a boom box over his head that plays a song.

Boom box: Boys, boys, boys. Toys, toys, toys. Boys... toys...

Spike of course finds the boom box too heavy, making him lower the thing down. It won't be long for the authorities to be called because of him disturbing the peace...

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

"Ouch. Well, how about some poetry reading?" Rainbow suggest to Spike with a shrug. "Fillies like Rarity should like that stuff."

"Hey, good idea! If there's one thing that I know what to do is bust a phat rhyme!" Spike exclaims yearly. He turns to the window and busts a rhyme in hopes that Rarity can hear him."Yo! One, two, one two! Uh, yo, what light breaks through yonder window there...it's Rarity, and she's got purple mane which isn't any hair."

"Uhh, forget the poetry. If you really want to get the filly's attention, try throwing some stones ont he ground at her window. That's how it works in the movies, right?"

"You really sure about that?"

"Yeah, why not?" Rainbow assures Spike with a nod.

Spike grabs some pebbles, throwing some against the window. To his dismay, nothing happens. The baby dragon groans, "No die."

"Right,. let me get back to you later."

As Spike sighs while still having some problems of getting Rarity's attention, Rainbow looks at the Magical Duo album. She saw the words 'Throwin' Rocks through Ol' Mane Rarity's Windows'. Perhaps the Pegasus pony got an idea on how Spike can get his street cred back and it involves bigger stones.

First off, Rainbow goes back inside the house, trotting over to Big Macintosh. She shows him an entry form while saying, "Hey, big guy! Wanna be a big star...or a bigger one?"

"Big star?" Big Macintosh ask Twilight hopefully.

"Rainbow, don't bother brother Big Mac!" Rarity snaps angrily to the mare. She then smiles happily, "Wait, that could be a song!" Rarity begins to sing, "Rainbow, don't bother brother Big Mac."

Rainbow then trots over to Fluttershy, showing the same entry while saying, "Hey, Fluttershy. Want to be one rock 'n' roll goddess like yours truly?"

"Really? That sounds wonderful, yay." Fluttershy said to Rainbow happily.

Rarity, in annoyance, snaps to Rainbow, "Rainbow Dash, if you got any offers, which I know you do, run them by me first, got it?"

"What, you don't trust Fluttershy to do this?" Rainbow ask Fluttershy in amusement.

"It's not that I don't trust the dear but the last time we let her sign something else without reading the fine print, we ended up doing that awful promotion campaign!"

We now see a record cover for Fashion Players' song 'Doing the Wiggle' featuring Gello the Donkey. As the monster flew around while singing his lyrics, the band performs with Rarity singing.

Rarity: We're Fashion Players and we're all jiggly.

Gello: Ooooo!

Rarity: Stuck in here with Gello and we're doin' the Wigglie.

Gello: Doin' the Wigglie! Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, go! Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, go! I SAID GO!

The record disappears as it appears, much to Rainbow's confusion. That was weird. The mare tries again, showing the entry form to Fluttershy while saying, "Hey, Fluttershy!"

Rarity sings angrily, "Stop bothering our drummer, Rainbow Dash!'

Rainbow decides to get to the 'point' so she takes out the bat hutch and shows the Von Blooders to Rarity, exclaiming, "Check this out! I found something cool and awesome!" The white unicorn gasps in surprise and excitement.

"Goodness! Could it be! Fluttershy, high note!"

"Okay." Fluttershy said as she begins yelling in high-pitched harmonics. "OOOOOOH!!!"

Soon as if by some false miracle, the bleached bats fly in as Rainbow put the apparently always empty bat hutch away. Rarity squeals, "Goodness, this is a chiropterological miracle!"

"Eeyup, bats, bats! Lots of bats!" Big Macintosh remarks. This settles it, Bruce is no longer endangered, it's a miracle! Rarity goes over to the bat cage and opens it.

"Bruce, come out and join your fellow bats!"

The Carousel Baroque's door shakes until it opens out, the bats flew out. Spike yelps in alarm and runs off with the bats pursuing him while yelling, 'Gah, whoa, stop that, come on!" Bruce is the last bat to leave as he somehow closes the door.

Inside the house, Rarity smiles happily while saying, "Well, well, the Equestrian isn't endangered after all." The mare then adds with a frown. "Perhaps it's for the best that the band won't be doing that awful benefit concert. Between all of us, I don't trust Bruce at all."

Rainbow looks out the window, seeing Spike returning after escaping the bats. The mare then spoke up, "Hey, Rarity. Don't look now but Spike is outside 'pining'."

"Oh dear, is he? I was worried that the autographed picture was an awful idea. His idea of stalking scares me."

"Want me to rough him up, scare the little guy off just for kicks?"

"No, I do not wish to harm the little one." Rarity refuses Rainbow's offer gently. "Perhaps if we were to ignore Spike, he will leave."

"Well, Miss Rarity, since the Equestrian bats aren't so endangered and you are no longer under any obligations to play the dumb benefit show, perhaps Fashion Players will reconsider my Battle of the Bands?" Rainbow ask with a smile as she takes out the entry forms. Rarity looks at them, reading the entry forms carefully to make sure that she knows what her band will get themselves into here.

"Hmmm...Battle Royale of the Band...with Knightsahde as the celebrity judges? Couldn't get the princesses?"

"Nah, Twilight didn't want to bug any of them. Anyway, sounds pretty cool, eh? How about it?"

"Oh I don't know. I read a lot of stories about the Knightshade in the news lately. Very terrible. Plus, they named themselves after a legendary Ponyland singer who once works with an evil cloud monster." Rarity said with an unsure frown. The last thing she wants is for her band to get involved with another one that may causes trouble. "What if..."

"Rarity, please. Knightshade will only be in Ponyville as celebrity judges." Rainbow assures Rarity with a smile. "I promise, not Pinkie Promise because the last thing I want is for me to anger Pinkie Pie by mistake, that they will be on their best behavior."

"Well, let's see...Fashion Players, how about? Shall we enter?"

"Oh yes, this concert sounds like fun. Yay." Fluttershy said excitedly.

"Eeyup, let's go it!" Big Macintosh exclaims in agreement. Looks like the whole band likes the idea of the contest.

"All right, it's unanimous, we are all in." Rarity said, smiling as she takes an entry form and sign it, thereby entering Fashion Players in the Battle Royale of the Bands. "Fashion Players will bring their pop folk thunder and fashion to the Battle Royale of the Bands! All right, here's our entry form." The mare then gives the entry form to Rainbow then adds sternly, "Also, inform Twilight that our entry fee will be in the mail"

"Awww, man, can't you just give me the money?" Rainbow ask Rarity with a frown. What, even one of her friends can't trust her with the bits?

"Yes, I would also comb my mane with poisonous scorpions but even I know that isn't a good idea!"

"Too true, would be hilarious though."

Rainbow smiles as she heads back outside. 2 entry forms down, 1 more to. The mare spots Spike recovering from the bat incident. Good, now it's time to begin the progress of getting Magical Duo back together for the Battle Royale of the Bands.

Rainbow puts the Zen Rock into the pile of pebbles saying, "There! These little guys need a big brother to look up to. At least the Zen Rock's example will make sure that they won't go to a life of crime. Or erosion." Time to put the next part of the plan to go into answer. "Hey Spike! How about taking another shot at throwing pebbles at the window?"

"What, huh?" Spike ask Rainbow a bit puzzled.

"Oh, trust me, I got one 20% awesome feeling about this idea this time."

"Okay, if you believe so." Spike grabs the Zen Rock. Despite how big the thing is, the baby dragon aims it at the window carefully. "Hey, baby!"

Spike throws then Zen Rock right at window. And suddenly it happens, the whole rock breaks right through the window, much to Spike's horror and Rainbow's amusement. Not good! Rarity is going to get peeved by that!

"Oh horse apples!" Spike exclaims with a yelp of worry.

"Well, I will be hiding somewhere else if you need me!" Rainbow exclaims quickly as she flew off into some bushes to hide. The mare is planning making sure that Spike takes the rap for this.

The door opens as a furious Rarity came out of the Carousel Baroque, yelling, "For the love of Celestia, Rainbow Dash, what are you..." The white unicorn looks shocked upon seeing a sheepish Spike outside. "Spike?! Didn't I told you not to bother me during band practice?!"

"But my darling..." Spike begins to say but Rarity angrily cuts him off.

"'My darling'?! You have to go and broke one of my expensive windows! Go away!!!"

With that, Rarity slams the door closes, making Spike looks down in sadness, holding a claw to his face. Instead of winning the unicorn's heart, he made her furious by breaking a window.

"Oh, now what should I do?" Spike ask in sadness and regret.

Just then, Twilight trots up, looking amazed with Nyx. The filly exclaims, "Whoa! That was great, Spike!"

"Huh? What is?"

"I think what Nyx means is that you throw rocks through Old Mare Rarity's window!" Twilight explains to Spike with a smile. "Normally I wouldn't approve of just crime, but that's something we used to rap about in the old days."

"Yeah, good old days, when we were young and mischievous! The ol'," Spike remarks while rapping, "one, two, a-one-one two..."

"Yes, yes, sure was. Well, I gotta go. I got a concert to promote and plan with Nyx helping me. Keep it real, you little baby sellout! And make sure you be home by nightfall!"

"Yeah, I will..."

"Later, Spike!" Nyx giggles as she heads off with Twilight to continue work on the upcoming concert. The alicorn filly couldn't help but chuckle by her mother rapping to herself.

"Throwing rocks through Old Mare Rarity's window!" Twilight raps about as she and Nyx leaves Spike by himself (or so the purple unicorn thought) by the Carousel Baroque. If the baby dragon would've done more mischievous bad things...

Once the mother and daughter duo are gone, Rainbow chose that time to come out of hiding. The Pegasus pony gave a pretend interest smile as she ask, "Did things with Rarity end up good like you wanted them to?"

"No...not really." Spike said with a frown as she heads off.

"Heh. Breaking both hearts and windows, the Rainbow Dash way!"

Rainbow take a look at the album. There are two other tracks as in 'Stealing Stuff from My Own Library' and 'Let's T.P. The Tree'.

If Twilight likes the results of what Spike 'done' the last time, then let's see what two other crimes can do!

Author's note
Rarity's band is now in the contest and Rainbow has helped Spike get one step closer to getting Magical Duo back together with Twilight. In the next chapter, the Pegasus pony continues her job to framing the baby dragon for mischievous crimes in hopes to get the final band. But when the time comes for payment, Rainbow must do something crazy to win the total needed for the repairs. Rock and Roll, baby! Read, review and suggest.

Chapter 5: Magical Duo Reunion

Rainbow heads back to the Tree. Time for the next part of her plan of reuniting Magical Duo for her band. The mare got out the toilet paper and glances at the record. Time for some cool vandalism.

"I never thought that this Tree was a bad, not at all. It just needs some love...and toilet paper." Rainbow jokes as she flew around the Tree, throwing the toilet paper all over it. "Oh yeah! Merry Vandalism, Dashie Brown!"

Soon Twilight and Nyx came up, the mare frowns as she exclaims, "Rainbow Dash! Did you vandalize the Tree like that? Honestly, I thought you know better!"

"Who me? No way! It was like that when I got here, honest! The truth culprit is the one whose stamp is on this toilet paper, see?"

Nyx looks at the toilet paper carefully then recognizes the stamp, exclaiming, "She's right, mommy! This is the same toilet paper Spike was stamping on!"

"Spike?" Twilight ask in amazement. Spike did this vandalism???

"Yeah, who would've thought that, eh?" Rainbow ask Twilight with a smile. The purple unicorn look amazed. In her mind, it seems to her that her little assistant has vandalized the Tree!

"Amazing! Spike hasn't done this stunt since the Nightmare Night of when we were young! I don't normally approve of vandalism, but this takes me back!"

""Yeah, amazing." Nyx giggles as she and Twilight heads off to resume the work on the concerts. Rainbow smiles proudly, so far, Twilight still believes that Spike is going back to his mischievous ways. Only one more crime for him to 'do' and Magical Duo is back together.

Rainbow heads back into the library. The mare spots a book which is in a case that is labeled 'Canterlot's Book of Secrets. Do Not Touch, Especially You Rainbow Dash or Spike'. She smirks eagerly, if the mare can steal that and plant it on Spike himself, Twilight will definitely believe that her favorite little assistant is no longer softer!

"Let's see if..." Rainbow said as she prepares to touch the book. But without warning, an alarm went off as a robot appears, it is the one sounding the alarm as it came down fromt he ceiling.

"Golden Oaks Security Robot activated!" The robot booms. "Sit your flank down until the authorities show up!"

"Oh horse apples!"

"Golden Oaks Security Robot activated!"

"Perhaps..." Rainbow quickly grabs the alarm, hoping to break it off before Twilight can arrives to see who is trying to steal from the library. The mare soon pulls the thing right out of the ceiling hard.

"Golden OAks SECuirty alarm activat..." The robot winds down until it stops speaking.

"Oh yeah, sorry to alarm ya, Robot Egghead, but you got fixed, ha! Wait a minute...not good, I stole something from Twilight's own dang library! Gotta frame somepony and fast!" Rainbow then smiles at the book while adding, "Oh yeah, I can finally take this..."

Rainbow open the case and tries to grab the book but to his surprise, it won't budge. The mare groans, "What the hay?" She tries to move it but no prevail. The mare groans but gave up, letting go. "Aw horse feathers. It's magically stuck there. Oh yeah, pretty sneaky move, Twilight. Well, I don't need that book anyway. I got enough Daring Do books as it is!"

Rainbow quickly exit the library via the top window, knowing that Twilight is going to come in at any given moment to find out what has caused her alarm to go off. If the mare got to frame someone for the theft, then she knows whom to pin the blame on.

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

Rainbow returns to the locker room and heads to the office (used for Spitfire and other authorities), with an extra sign that said 'Spike's Messy Secret Room. Do Not Enter'. The mare figures that this place will be perfect to plant the robot alarm for Twilight to find.

"Time to see what Spike's mound of unwashed clothes and dirty food is doing." Rainbow comments as she opens the office door. The mare cringes a bit, that room smells awful. When's the last time Spike clean this place up? "Okay, nose, get ready for a major smell. We're heading in!"

Rainbow bravely goes into Spike's secret room, where no pony would dare goes in before. The mare looks in then yelps as she exclaims, "Gah! I think it waved at me! Creepy! Say, what does this thing do?"

Suddenly a familiar alarm went off on the robot once more. Rainbow drops the thing and flew out of the room as the robot's voice booms, "Tracking spell activated! Sit your flank down until the authorities show up!"

Rainbow knew that Twilight must've put the tracking spell on her things should they get stolen...especially robots with certain buttons. The mare knew that her friend would show up soon so Rainbow rushes into the shower to hide.

And just in the nick of time as Twilight teleports in, frowning while saying, "I knew using that tracking spell on that robot which be activated with a certain button would paid off! But why is it in the locker room that Spike likes to use as his secret place?" The mare goes into the office and looks around, then gasps, "What in the name of Celestia?!"

Twilight uses her magic to shut the alarm off then came out of the room with it. In amazement and surprise, the mare exclaims, "I don't believe it! Spike stole from my own dang library. Normally I would be upset but that is something that we used to rhyme about in the old days! Wow, Spike still got it after all, guess I was wrong! I should tell my number one assistant to get ready because Magical Duo is coming back!" As the unicorn leaves the locker room, she begins to rap, "I may be soft 'round the middle, but I'm still hardcorey, we're stealing stuff from my own dang library!"

Once Twilight is gone, Rainbow came out of hiding with a successful smile. She exclaims, "Awesome! Looks like Magical Duo is back together! Now I can get them for my concert!"

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

It was a while later as the stages are now set up. Rainbow came back to Twilight, handing in the Fashion Players' from while saying, "Good news, Twilight! I signed up Fashion Players for the Battle Royale!"

"So Rarity signed something you gave her?" Twilight ask Rainbow in amusement.

"Tell me about it. Of course she told me to tell you that the check is in the mail."

"Let me guess, Miss Frou-Frouy doesn't trust you with the money, eh?"

"Nah, she doesn't trust scorpions as hairdressers either." Rainbow remarks bitterly to Twilight.

Twilight chuckles as she takes the entry form, adding, "Okay, one band down. Get two more sign up and we have a contest!"

"Well, I have signed in Fashion Players so that must bring in the fashion ponies, the farmers and the animal lovers."

"Good to hear that!"

Rainbow gives the next entry form to Twilight, explaining, "All right, Twilight, I have convinced Pinkie Pie and Sapphire Shores into performing at the Battle Royale."

"Pinkie have a band with Sapphire Shores?" Twilight ask Rainbow in amusement. "That sounds like randomness waiting to happen."

"Yeah, it would be. But as long as Sapphire Shores' check holds out, I won't mind if they mess up or anything."

"Yeah. Anyway, we're talking now! Just one more act to sign up and we will begin rocking and rolling in no time!"

"I'm worried about the potential musical madness that I caught by bringing Pinkie Pie and Sapphire Shores together." Rainbow said to Twilight, worried of how Pinkie's usual craziness would combine with what Sapphire Shores does.

"Oh, I wouldn't worried about it." Twilight remarks to her friend with a giggle. "You would be surprised of what kind ofduos have caught on over the years like the Royal Sisters, the two Snotty brats..."

"So I heard over the grapevine that you and Spike are getting the band Magical Duo back together and are ready for a big comeback."

"You betcha!" Twilight exclaims eagerly as she uses her magic to get a keytar, mime playing it. "Got Ol' Celly all tuned up and stuff!" The mare put it down. "And since yours truly is dealing with the logistics, I will take the entry free and the entry free myself, that oughta work!"

"So you're ready to perform in the Battle of the Bands, right?" Rainbow ask Twilight with a smirk.

"You betcha, tell him, Celly!" Twilight exclaims as she mimes playing the keytar once more. "All right, that's three acts so your show is ready to go, Rainbow!"

"Awesome, now I can fix my Game Machine at last! All right, give me the bits and..."

"Whoa, slow down there, Rainbow Dashie! I gotta take the expenses out first."

"The expenses?!" Rainbow asks Twilight in shock and disbelief, not liking the sound of that at all.

"Yes, sorry but it's kinda tradition when doing this kind of thing. No hard feelings...now then, there's the prize money, the trade unions, the outhouses, the cleaning up crew, the 10% I took off for a discount..." Twilight said, figuring out how much she owes Rainbow for the fee.

"Okay, come on, get with it! How much?"

"Well, the final account that you made...it's exactly nine thousand bits."

"What?! Nine thousands?!" Rainbow protests to Twilight in shock and disbelief. That isn't enough to fix the Game Machine. "Twilight, I need two million to get the Game Machine fixed!"

"Sorry, that's how much I owe ya." Twilight explains to Rainbow with a sigh. "Now if you need the remaining money, try getting an extra job like I suggested before. I could also uses a Second Assistant at the library..."

Rainbow groans in despair, she doesn't want to go through some extra hard work. But what else can the mare do? Just then the Game Lefty appears to her, booming once more, "Rock and roll, Rainbow Dash!"

Once the head is gone, Rainbow smirks as she exclaims, "I got a better idea! I will use what you use me to enter this thing. I will form my own band and win my own Battle of the Bands! Wit the prize money, I can fix my own Game Machine!"

"Oh yeah, I can't believe how much sense that makes." Twilight remarks to Rainbow skeptically. "What, don't want to do extra work?"

"What? Worried that my band would beat Magical Duo, egghead?"

"Okay, okay! I can see where this is going. All right, you're in this thing. Hay, it would be worth a laugh to see you fail."

Rainbow smiles as she heads trots off, the mare comments, "All right, so who can I get to join my band?" Now the Pegasus pony got to find ponies who are good enough or left to join her band, those who aren't in Magical Duo, Fashion Players or Sapphire Pie (Pinkie and Sapphire's band).

Of course, Rainbow travels all over Ponyville and unfortunately, the ponies that she spoke to are either busy that same weekend or not interested at all. In fact, only two ponies are not busy and are the only ones left who aren't in a band at all.

"Hey Rainbow Dash!" Derpy exclaims happily while she waves to the shocked Rainbow while standing near Applejack who is munching on some apples.

"Howdy! What can we done do yew fer?" Applejack ask Rainbow eagerly.

"Aw horse apples." Rainbow remarks with an annoyed groan. Unfortunately, she has no choice, the mare must recruit Applejack and Derpy in her own band.

Author's note
Looks like Rainbow has entered her own concert but must work with Applejack and Derpy to form a band. In the next chapter, the band is named AOD AKA Awesome On Delivery on the night of the Battle Royale and Rainbow meets Knightshade thought not in person! And when AOD isn't doing too well, the mare must go to big measures to make sure that her band wins. Read, review and suggest!

Chapter 6: Awesome On Delivery

The night has come, the Battle Royale of the Bands has begun. Rainbow's new band was practicing (or what counts as it anyway) for this until the weekend. The trio are on stage, preparing for the crowds that may or may not come soon.

"Hoo doggy, tonight is 'de night, everypony!" Applejack exclaims to her friends with a grin.

"Yeah, I know Okay, ponies, we have been rehearsing our brains out, which may not be a problem for you, Derpy, so perhaps we should come up with a new name for our new band. In the spirit of rock rockidarity, we will pick a word each." Rainbow said. The mare then booms out a word, "All right...Awesome!"

"On!"

"Delivery, yahoo!" Derpy exclaims happily. So it's official, the new band is now called 'Awesome On Deliveru'.

"Hmm, well, maybe not heavy or metal as I imagine it to be but to hay with the brain crunching metal music. Even dumb band magic would sound so awesome." Rainbow remarks a shrug. Hopefully the band would turn out better at singing and playing. The mare speaks into the mike while calling, "All right, Equestria! Time for your socks to be rocked literally by the sounds of..."

We now see each letter in the band's acronym as Rainbow calls out, "Awesome On Delivery...OR AOD! Hit it!"

The band begins to play...well, so to speak. Applejack plays like a country pony at a barn dance while Derpy is just being Derpy with her usual instrument. Rainbow watch her band and shakes her band in concern. Not good, the trio are going to blow it big time.

"Aww, horse feathers, we really stinky. If we must win this baby, time for yours truly to do what must be done: go out and sabotage the other bands in this contest." Rainbow said with a sigh. In order for her band to win, she must sabotage the other bands. The mare glances at some sort of device labeled the 'Squealing-O-Meter'...and unfortunately, AOD is losing by a significant margin. "Ponies, make sure you keep rocking while I go out and do some cool things like get some groups or something."

"Okay, make sure yew bring back some apples, yew hear?" Applejack requests as Rainbow got off the stage. The cyan Pegasus pony prepares her quest to sabotage the other bands' efforts.

As Rainbow trots over, she spots something nearby. It appears to be a cutout of Knightshade as their selves from their short-lived pilot cartoon selves. There are some cameras with fake forelegs waving, a speaker and all that.

"Okay, and what the hay is this supposed to be?" Rainbow ask with a frown. Where's Knightshade?

The voice of Lefty is heard through the speaker, "Yo, Rainbow Dash, we're from the band Knightshade, here to do your awesome Battle Royale of the Bands for your Rip-Roarin' Rock-dexous with Knightshadw! Roar!"

"Ugh! You aren't Knightshade, you're just some lame piece of cardboard cutout with speakers and a microphone!"

"Let's not forget the cameras, baby!"

"Ugh, figures. This is the most disappointed that I have been in Knightshade since their court-ordered PSAs against Cupcakelism." Rainbow remarks with a groan. Knightshade didn't bother showing up in person at all! The band are using lame ripoff cutouts in their place! "So what do you think of AOD, eh? Are they ripping up or what?"

"Honestly, filly, I am going to rip their entry form right into pieces unless they do something cool soon!" Lefty's Voice remarks in annoyance. "Luckily for us, that lousy as Tartarus singer is no longer on stage!"

"What, you ponies too? Ugh. So what are AOD's chances at winning this?"

"Honestly, chances? They barely got a CHA, let alone a full CHANCE! Perhaps if the other bands were to end up stinking all of the sudden, AOD may got a shot!"

"Oh, a sudden mystery stinkage, eh? Perhaps yours truly could help, heh heh heh." Rainbow remarks with a smirk while rubbing her wings together. The mare believes that she may have a shot if the other bands were to fail. "So anyway, if you stallions aren't here at all, where in Equestria are you?"

"Oh, we're heading down the I-97 in our awesome cool Tour Bus, putting makeup on our eyes, making tease dmane and putting pierces on our ears via satellite!" Lefty's voice explains to Rainbow excitedly.

"So let me see if I got this straight. You ponies are just in a tour bus, watching this Battle Royal through horsecrappy webcams, right?"

"Rock 'n' Roll webcams, baby!"

Rainbow groans in annoyance as she continues, "Guys, is it really that hard to judge this whole baby from thousands of miles away?"

"Well, Rainbow, don't spread this to any pony but yourselves but we don't really do much judging at these things." Lefty's Voice explains, much to Rainbow's surprise. Knightshade don't do any judging at all?

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah! We let the Squealing-O-Meter do the awesome judging for us, yo!"

Rainbow glances at the machine, come to think about it, the mare was wondering why those roadie ponies were installing these things all over for. The mare spoke up with a smile, "So wait, you let some souless machine be the judge at my Battle of the Bands? Cool! To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that you guys didn't show up in person but I believe that this Squealing-O-Meter is much better at getting the job done!"

"That thing gets all the grooviest groups when he's with us!" Lefty's voice explains through the speaker eagerly.

"And what's the current status of the Battle thus far?"

"Little filly, the Squealing-O-Meter knows all!"

"Right, it's been real, or not, who cares, but I got a 20% awesome show to work here." Rainbow said, deciding to end the conversion with the Knightshade cutout.

"Later, baby!" Lefty's voice comments as Rainbow trots off. The mare may be disappointed that one of her favorite bands didn't show up but at least the Squealing-O-Meter makes up for their absence...plus, the judges won't do much interfering in stopping Rainbow from sabotage.

"I better so some major flank sab-too-ji if I gotta make those lame-o bands stink worst than AOD." Rainbow comments, seeing her band way behind on the Squealing-O-Meter. The mare must find a way to mess the other bands up. The mare then spots something near the Knightshade cutout and takes it. "Hey, what's this? Awesome, all right! An unspoilt Knightshade Coloring Book! VG condition, light cover wear, some creasing...oh yeah, this mare is going to spoil this baby rotten!"

Rainbow chuckles while putting the coloring book away. Next up, the mare uses her detector and search around, picking up something near the banner. She then uses the shovel to dig and found something.

"What's this?" Rainbow ask surprised as she took out a poster that seems to be made recently of AOD. "A poster for AOD? I didn't give approval for these things! But...it does kinda rule. Okay, I approve, I approve."

Rainbow checks out her map carefully. On it right now is the locations of the four band names, her own home and of course the locker room. The mare figures that she got to do some sabotaging, she has to do it in a way that won't get herself suspected.

"Time for some sabotage." Rainbow comments as she heads off to her first destination: the Fashion Players' stage.

Chapter 7: Pinkie Flop

Rainbow's quest to sabotage the bands begins. The mare arrives at the stage where Fashion Players are performing remarking, "Now time to see what lame-o band that Rarity has is cooking up."

Of course, Rainbow spoke soon. The mare arrives just in time to see that Fashion Players are done with a song. The audience and the judges cheers on wildly. Say what you think of them, this band is doing good.

"Cool!" Pinkie exclaims eagerly.

"Oh right, good work!" Twilight cheers on Rarity.

"Yeah!" Nyx exclaims while jumping up and down happily.

"Ouch! Outta sight, baby!" Lefty's voice exclaims through the speaker on another Knightshade cutout nearby.

"Thank you, darlings, thank you!" Rarity exclaims proudly. "For our next number, allow me to take you all on a musical journey which I like to call 'The Same Riff for Several Minutes'."

With that, Rarity performs the mentioned number. Rainbow groans at this in annoyance. Fashion Players is doing better than she expected.

"Horse feathers, they have been practicing. Well, still, nothing I can't find a way to sabotage." Rainbow remarks with an evil smirk. The mare trots over to Twilight and Nyx. "Hey Twilight, shouldn't you be on stage with Spike right now?"

"Oh, mommy is putting him on extended dance break." Nyx explains to Twilight happily. "My brother should be fine for a couple of hours at least."

"Right, as long as Spike doesn't flop or anything, he should be fine without me." Twilight assures Rainbow in agreement.

"So..." Rainbow begins to say but Twilight cuts her off.

"Don't bother us, we're cheering."

"Yay!" Nyx cheers on Fashion Players once more. Rainbow shrugs it off, well, perhaps it's best not to bother her and her mother right now.

So Rainbow turns to Pinkie Pie, asking, "Hey, Pinkie Pie? Shouldn't you be on stage, pursuing your dreams to make ponies smile or laugh at you?"

"Miss Shores is letting my great vocal chords take a break while she plays an extended piano solo!" Pinkie explains to Rainbow happily. "This is super duper great because it lets me have a chance of letting Rarity know that I support her. Yay!"

"So..."

"Sorry, Dashie, can't stop! I'm being supportive, yay!"

Rainbow shrugs as she turns her attention back to stage, trying to strike up a conversion with Rarity and the band. The mare spoke up, "Hey, Rarity!"

"I'm busy right now, Rainbow Dash." Rarity spoke to Rainbow in a sing-songy voice, explaining that she's too busy singing to talk to her right now.

"Oh, better wait until she takes a break. Hey Fluttershy!"

"Oh, can't talk, I am beating the drums if that's okay." Fluttershy said to Rainbow with a shrug. The mare shrugs a bit, looks like the band won't be talking to her while they're performing at the moment.

"To be honest, I don't know how Big Mac differentiates between strings with those hooves that he has...and those forelegs." Rainbow comments on how Big Macintosh is performing. The mare then goes up to the second Knightshade cutout. She frowns while speaking, "Hey there, 'Knightshade'." Rainbow made the air quotes with her wings while saying the last part.

"Hey there, Rainbow Dash!" Lefty's voice exclaims, obviously missing the dry part in Rainbow's voice. "You rocking yet?"

"Yeah, right. Geez, I cannot believe that ponies are going crazy nutso over the preachy screechy dumb band that Rarity has gotten!"

"Better believe it, babe! Those Fashion Players make me wanna fly up and smash furniture all over the place! Though I wish that purple-mane fashion unicorn that keeps talking...would stop doing it!"

"Yes, for the next 16 bears and out of respect for my friend Fluttershy, I would wish to dedicate to the plight of our friendly animals...as well as the continuing destructions of our great wetlands as well as the struggle against the exploit of mares in the media!" Rarity exclaims eagerly. "Why, even I am against that too!"

As the band continues, Lefty's voice groans, "Aww man, what a downer!"

"Hmmm...." Rainbow said interestingly. "Well, I got to find something more 'animated' for a while, got it?"

"Okay, later!"

A plan forms into Rainbow's head. At first, Rarity was skeptic about joining the concert due to what she heard about Knightshade but agrees to enlist her band as long as the celebrity judges behave themselves. And after hearing what Rarity is against...well, perhaps if the band were misbehaving themselves and did the nasty things that the white unicorn mentioned...

Yeah, that could work and best of all, Rainbow wouldn't upset Pinkie since she didn't Pinkie Promise that Knightshade will behave themselves! The mare checks out a familiar Billy club nearby and trots over to it.

"Hey there, Billy club." Rainbow said to the Billy club as if it's a real pony.

"Do you want it, Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo ask as she came over to Rainbow curiously.

"Sure, but don't you need it?"

"Oh, not really, I really need to keep the peace through national discourse."

"Oh, cool. That could work." Rainbow remarks with a light chuckle as she takes the Billy club. But then the mare notices a wicked smirk on her fan's face. She doesn't like the look of that at all!

"Backed up by 1000 volts!!" Scootaloo remarks sinisterly. Suddenly she took out a taser from out of nowhere and zaps Rainbow, causing her to back away. In payback, the mare hits the filly with the Billy club, causing her to yelp a bit. Nothing personal but Rainbow was defending herself.

"Ugh, I cannot believe it. Listen, any chance you can get back and/or on stage by any chance? Aren't you supposed to be a fan of mine or something?"

"Perhaps. I could let you by...if you solve a riddle of mine. What has wings, one weird attitude and smells like the burnt ozone?"

"Uhhhh..." Rainbow begins to say, not sure how to solve that puzzle.

"You!" Scootaloo laughs as she zaps Rainbow once more with the taste. The mare yelps then responds right back by hitting Scootaloo in the back hard. That was really uncalled for.

After some satisfaction, Rainbow took her mike out and yells into it, "Yeeeeeah!" Like many times before, a box appears. "Now that's totally cool!"

Rainbow looks the box to see what is under there, pulling out a familiar game manual. The mare exclaims eagerly, "Cool! It's the lyrics page to the song that was played over and over again during the Knightshade game! Nothing but a bunch of ones and zeroes of course. Well, time to check out Sapphire Pie."

Rainbow heads out to Sapphire Pie. May as well see how they're doing.

--------

"Well, time to see how Pinkie is remembering her lines without anyone helping her out." Rainbow comments as she arrives at the Sapphire Pie area. The mare figures that without her help, Pinkie won't have much to go for. But upon arrival, Rainbow stops in shock for on stage is her friend wearing headphones. The mare appears to be doing fine as she performs while Rarity, Spike and another cutout of Knightshade are watching. "What the hay?!"

"That's why I think we should break up, but still be allowed to make out sooooometimes!" Pinkie sings wonderfully and without any help from Rainbow. The mare stop singing while speaking with a smooth voice. "Yeah, no strings needed, colt or filly! Thanks, thank you twice!"

"Yeeeeah!" Rarity cheers on wildly. For a fashion designer, she sure sounds like your usual rock and roll start.

"Marry me, Pinkie!" Spike exclaims excitedly.

"Awww, you are so kind! Well, looks like we got some lovely or lovely-types in the audience tonight!" Pinkie remarks as some ponies sigh lovingly while Rarity and Spike sighs happily. Rainbow on the other hoof isn't impressed or disbelief at all.

"What the hay?! When we did this at auditions, Pinkie can't put two words together, let alone smooth any pony! Something fishy is going on and once I find that so-called fish, I will gut and deep fry it!" Rainbow remarks furiously. Somehow Pinkie is doing better without help, she has a secret and the cyan Pegasus pony must find out what that is.

For now, Rainbow trots up to the cutout, speaking to the 'band', "So you ponies are cardboard professionals so I want your opinion. What in the name of Equestria that Pinkie Pie do to make her so smooth all of the sudden?"

"Not sure, baby! It's like Sapphire Shores puked all her style into Pinkie's mouth like a mama bird did to her chicks!" Lefty's voice remarks to Rainbow, much to her disgust.

"Ugh! I didn't need to hear that!" Rainbow trots over to Spike and Rarity, speaking with the baby dragon first, "Hey, Spike. Aren't you supposed to be on stage with the egghead/"

"Oh, Twilight is performing one of her extended keytar solos, so I decided to come here and get my swoon on." Spike explains while sighing eagerly to Pinkie's performance.

"Sick! Spike..."

"Come on, stop bothering me and quit yabbering! I got some grade A swoonin' to here! Ha!"

Rainbow decides to speak to Rarity, asking, "Rarity, aren't you supposed to be on stage with Fashion Players?"

"Fluttershy is in the middle of an one hour drum solo, darling, so I figure I would come here and see Pinkie make such a fool out of herself. Still, didn't expect her to be this...wonderful." Rarity explains while sighing dreamily. Rainbow decide to end the conversion at this point. May as well speak with Pinkie.

"Hey, Pinkie Pie!"

Pinkie doesn't seem to hear Rainbow. The pink pony is still performing while calling out, "Hey, I like to give a shout out to the carbon-based life forms in the audience tonight! Must be a convention happening in Equestrian..."

"Wow...he is so sincere." Rarity said in a amazement.

"As if Pinkie read my letters, reading one out loud." Spike remarks in agreement. Rainbow looks annoyed, somehow Pinkie is winning the crowd over. The mare got to find out how her friend is doing this so that she can sabotage Sapphire Pie's attempts at winning this Battle Royale.

"Ohhh, man, I gotta find out how Pinkie Pie is doing this smooth charade. Hmmm, maybe." Rainbow said as a thought came into her mind. The mare turns to her friend while calling out, "Hey, Pinkie! How about playing 'Smooth Charade'! Hey!"

"Sorry, Dashie, can't talk now!" Pinkie exclaims to Rainbow happily. "I am on my way to having one Pegasus hotel career-ending gig!"

"Ugh, I will end our career right here and now once I figured out how you're doing this!"

"Right now, I am playing a number called 'Smooth Charade'." Pinkie clears her voice then she sings smoothly, "Oh, smoooooth charade."

So far, Rainbow isn't doing any better but the mare isn't giving up yet. She tries to speak up a conversion with Sapphire Shores, "Hey, Sapphire!"

"Will you leave me alone?!" Sapphire snaps to Rainbow in annoyance while speaking near some sort of microphone. "I'm playing the piano here!"

"Right, you're busy. Sorry!"

Suddenly Pinkie spoke smoothly while performing, "Will you leave me alone?! I'm playing the piano here!"

"Huh, very curious." Rainbow said, noticing how Pinkie just repeated what Sapphire just told the Pegasus pony. "Hey, Sapphire..."

"I said leave me alone, Rainbow Dash!" Sapphire snaps to Rainbow in annoyance.

Oddly enough, Pinkie repeated what Sapphire just said, "I said leave me alone, Rainbow Dash!" This has gotten the mare more suspicious. Why is it that the pink pony is repeating what the popstar one is saying?

"Hmmm...." Rainbow trots up to Sweetie who is working. "Hey there!"

"Hey, citizen, move along!" Sweetie snaps in annoyance. Suddenly she zaps Rainbow with the taser, making her yelp. Just like with Scootaloo, the angry mare hits her in the back to defend herself. This causes Sweetie to wheeze while speaking into her radio, "Little Unicorn scores again! Over!"

For some odd reason, Pinkie then repeats Sweetie happily while performing, "Little Unicorn scores again! Over!"

It didn't take long before Rainbow now realizes what is going on. Of course, it make sense now! Pinkie is repeating what she is hearing over on those headphones that the mare is wearing. Sapphire Shore is secretly feeding her lines to her (with an accident fed by Sweetie). Well, the mare knows this secret, perhaps it's time to exploit it somehow.

Rainbow goes over to the Driv-Thru Manticore and check it out. The thing begins to speak up, causing its tail to shoot up and disappear while speaking, "Your pals are laughing at you behind your back!"

"Hey, excuse me! Do you mind?!" Rarity snaps, annoyed by the Manticore's speaking. "Some of us are trying to enjoy a well-known concert here."

"No love like monkey love!"

"Ugh! Honestly, ponies speaking during band performances are filthy!"

"Tell me about it." Spike remarks agreeing with Rarity. "Try keeping it down, Lion Dork!"

Rainbow smiles, having an idea on how to ruin Sapphire Pie. The mare calls out, "Now watch the horror as yours truly merge mammals and technology to make an ungodly combo!"

Sweetie trots up to Rainbow, explaining, "Uh, Rainbow Dash, I think the Manticore is a legendary creature.."

"Ignoring! Rise, Manny, rise!" Rainbow exclaims madly as she took out the hanger that the mare swiped from the locker room then slams it into the Drive-Thru Manticore's head. This causes sparks to fly. "Sparks, an evil experiment say 'Thanks for that'.

Time to put this plan into action so Rainbow moves the hangar until its towards the Knightshade cutout. The Drive-Thru Manticore said, "In a lot of cultures, huge noses are a sign of virility."

The same words surprisingly came out of the cutout's speakers. Lefty, not confused or annoyed, exclaims eagerly, "Yeah, all right!"

Rainbow turns the hanger towards Sweetie before it spoke up, "If the seal is punctured, best to call the supervisor at once."

Like before, the Manticore's words came out of the radio. Sweetie in confusion speaks into the thing though without pressing 'talk', "Uh, wait, I don't get it. What should I do with the seal? Does it involves getting a cutie mark? Hello? Over?"

Rainbow chuckles as she turns the hanger towards Pinkie, commentating, "Oh yeah, something fun oughta happen now."

"If I wanted your lame opinion, I would chop your brains out!" The Drive-Thru Manticore said once more. Pinkie should be picking this up right about...now.

"And now, a personal message for every one of you smiling ponies in the audience." Pinkie exclaims happily. Suddenly without warning, the mare yells out as she repeated what the Drive-Thru Manticore just said on her headphones. "If I wanted your lame opinion, I would chop your brains out!"

As if a needle was dropped, the audience gasps in shock, with Rarity yelling, "What?!"

"Say again?!" Spike gasps in surprise. What did Pinkie just said?!

"What in Equestria?" Sapphire ask, surprised at what Pinkie just said. The popstar didn't say that to her! What is her fellow singer doing?!

Pinkie yelps in surprise, realizing her error. The mare spoke smoothly in hopes to regain the crowd support, "Wait, sorry, ponies. What I meant to say was..."

"If the pain in the flank gets worst for more than 3 hours, call a doctor at once." The Drive-Thru Manticore said nearby while Rainbow smirks devilishly. And what do you know, Pinkie is repeating what it's saying on her headphones in a monotone kind of voice.

"If the pain in the flank gets worst for more than 3 hours, call a doctor at once."

"Oh man, how lame!" Spike exclaims in annoyance. He was having fun but now Pinkie just went and ruined it! "How am I supposed to swoon to that garbage?!"

"Honestly, Pinkie, you were melting my heart, but now you're just melting out there." Rarity remarks with a frown.

Soon Rarity and Spike took turns booing while the rest of the ponies boo in disgust and annoyance. Most of them took their leave while the Squealing-O-Meter shows that Sapphire Pie is dropping like a rock. Looks like Pinkie's mistakes has messed things up.

"Wow, major breakdown!" Lefty's voice remarks in disappointment. And Pinkie Pie was doing so well too! Rainbow meanwhile laughs madly while glancing at the meter. 1 band ruined, 2 more to go!

"Oh yeah, we're getting somewhere. Of course, with Derpy and Applejack in my band still and trying to improve, I will have to make sure that the other bands got a slice of the stinky pie. Now to begin making Rarity upset at Knightshade..." Rainbow goes over to the cutout while taking out the Billy club. "Hey there, cardboard ripoffs! Can your webcam feel pain?!"

Rainbow quickly hits the cardboard with the Billy club. Although faraway, Lefty somehow felt that as he protests, "Ouch! What the hay did you do that for?!"

"Oh sorry. I was giving you this awesome Billy club, yeah."

"Oh, awesome!" Lefty's voice remarks eagerly as Rainbow put the club onto one of the forelegs of the standee. "Perhaps we could get a major hot filly hold this for our next video!"

Time to begin the frame up. Rainbow took out the camera and backs away while saying, "Okay, Manticore, baby. Work with me..." Soon the photo was taken, the mare took a look at it while smiling. "Awesome, this looks great! Heck, if you squint your eyes, it appears that Tambyis really beating up that Manticore! Or was it Juley? Never could tell those two apart. Wow, Sapphire Pie didn't disappoint in being disappointing, huh?"

"Yeah, crazy with a K! And I thought that Derpy Hooves was the goofy one to shoot out junk, not Pinkie Pie!"

Rainbow turns to the audience while trying to speak with Spike, "Uh..."

"Can't speak now, got some displeasure to throw out." Spike snaps then boos at the band angrily. "Booooooo!"

"So, Rarity? Shouldn't you be on stage, torturing lovers of cool music with your frou-frouy like music?"

"Perhaps I should go." Rarity remarks with a deep frown. After what happened today, it's pointless to stay around Sapphire Pie. "Nothing good is going on here anymore anyhow, darling."

"Please get out of the comfort zone!" The Drive-Thru Manticore said suddenly.

"Please get out of the comfort zone." Pinkie repeats what the Manticore just said, making Spike and Rarity boo at her some more. This really stinks on ice.

Time to really tick off Rarity so the mare took out a familiar photo while saying, "Hey Rarity! Wanna see something?" The white unicorn gasps in shock and anger. To her, Knightshade is beating up that poor Manticore, something that Fluttershy wouldn't even like!

"Oh dear! Trials of life, this is cruel and awful, even Fluttershy wouldn't enjoy that! Give me that photo!" Rarity snaps angrily as she grabs the photo before crumpling it up, throwing the whole thing away. "Honestly, ponies who beat up peaceful animals, even monsters like that, really makes me upset. Still, even we make mistakes ever now and again. After all, I once accidentally wore a fur coat for a date until I realized that it wasn't a fake fur, but a fake, fake fur made from real-real stuff."

Rainbow figures that it would take more than that to tick off Rarity. The mare turns to Pinkie while calling out, "Hey Pinkie Pie!"

"Oh filly, let me explain, please!" Pinkie exclaims in worry, she has totally lost the crowd support, no pony here is smiling. "Dashie, please help me!"

"Sorry, can't hear ya as the stinks here is really loud!"

"Boooooooo!" Rarity and Spike exclaims angrily to Pinkie, hurting her feelings. She hates to see her friends angry at her like that.

"Hey Sapphire!" Rainbow calls out to Sapphire with a smirk.

"Oh, will you get out of my face, you dumb idiot?!" Sapphire scowls angrily to Rainbow, the popstar pony is upset that Pinkie has blew it for the whole band. Perhaps it was a bad idea to work with her after all!

To make matters worst, Pinkie repeated what Sapphire just said over the headphones, "Oh, will you get out of my face, you dumb idiot?!"

"Fine, I will!" Rarity remarks furiously, thinking that Pinkie is insulting her and Spike big time.

"Wow, I don't think that I have ever been insulted in the last few minutes!" Spike remarks, very upset. Pinkie Pie is insulting the audience, not a good mood.

Well, Rainbow has done all she can here. Sapphire Pie is now ruined pie. Time to check out Magical Duo. The mare heads off to their stage area to see what she can do to ruin their chances of winning.

This story has 3 more chapters to go before it's finally be done. Time for some more fun, folks!

Chapter 8: Two More Taken Out

So far, Rainbow has sabotaged Sapphire Pie and took the band's chances down. If the mare could do the same thing to Magical Duo and Fashion Players, AOD has a chance. Speaking of the former, Rainbow is heading to their stage right now, making plans.

"While AOD may not be the best band in Ponyville, but at least we are ten times more awesome than Magical Duo, right?" Rainbow ask herself in confidence. Of course, the mare looks stunned as she saw a shocking sight. There's Twilight and Spike performing well as Sapphire, Fluttershy and Nyx cheers on with some of the Ponyville citizens. "Oh, you got to be bucking me!"

"Yeah, mommy, Spike, you rocked!" Nyx exclaims while cheering Twilight and Spike on.

As Twilight plays the keytar, the mare did some rapping, "I may be soft 'round the middle, but I'm still hardcorey,"

Both rap simultaneously, "We're/she's stealing stuff from my/her own dang library!"

"Oh yeah, we're out!" Spike remarks, signaling that the song is over.

"Hang on!" Twilight exclaims but Spike wouldn't have it.

"We're out, got it?"

As the music stops, the audience (minus the frowning Rainbow) cheers on wildly. The cardboard cutout spoke out in Lefty's voice, "Oh baby! These two put the REALLY old back in old-school now!"

"You're going to win for sure!" Nyx cheers on wildly making Twilight and Spike smiles a bit. That's enough confidence to assure the two that this contest is in the bag for them.

"Oh hay. The two with the act that I thought was worst than AOD is kicking it live." Rainbow remarks with a groan. She knew that the headphones and Manticore trick won't work this time so the cyan Pegasus pony must try something else. Turning to Fltutershy, she ask, "Say Fluttershy? I thought you are supposed to be laying the beat down for Rarity."

"Oh, Big Mac is doing a bass solo." Fluttershy explains meekly to Rainbow. "So I thought I could come here and cheers on my frieds."

"A bass solo, eh? Can't imagine why you would want to miss that. So Sapphire Shores, can't stand to face the wrath of your fans especially that of Pinkie Pie's?"

"Ugh, don't get me started!" Sapphire exclaims to Rainbow angrily. "I should've know that it was a bad idea to hired Pinkie Pie in the first place."

"Hey egghead! You're the keytar heroine!"

"Sorry, can't talk, Rainbow Dash!" Twilight exclaims to Rainbow while looking through some stuff. "Must get ready to segue into Spike's next dance break."

"Oooh, painful but obviously hilarious." The cyan Pegasus pony comments in amusement. Rainbow shrugs as she goes over to Nyx, speaking, "Well, looks like your mom and Spike are doing better, eh?"

"Yeah. I hate to see what would happen if mom and Spike broke up their band again." Nyx explains to Rainbow in concern. "Without mom, Spike isn't too good in rapping in front of a crowd. With her, they are unstoppable."

"Oh, so Spike is useless without Twilight to perform with him, eh? And how would they break up?"

"Don't know but as long as Spike doesn't mess up or something, Magical Duo will move on per the ages!"

Rainbow smiles a bit, figuring out some sort of plan: maybe if she can get Spike to do something accidental, Twilight would have to break up the band again. Right now, the cyan Pegasus pony trots over to the cutout, speaking to Knightshade, "So why in Celestia's name would the crowd go crazy over Spike's not so good rapping?"

"It's not the rhymes that they love, but the moves!" Lefty's voice explains to Rainbow eagerly. "All great bands know how to move on stages and Magical Duo got moves that proves it!"

"Proves what?"

"That terrible rhyming can always be overcome by uncontrollable spazzing, duh!"

"Uh, so it's really just Spike's quote-unquote 'dancing' that's keeping Magical Duo from losing the Battle of the Bands, eh?" Rainbow ask Knightshade in amusement. "As well as Twilight being there for the little guy, right?"

"Right, totally!" Lefty's voice answers Rainbow excitedly.

"Like I said before, I was a bit disappointed that you guys didn't show up in person but I believe that this Squealing-O-Meter is much better at getting the job done!"

"That thing gets all the grooviest groups when he's with us!" Lefty's voice explains through the speaker eagerly.

"Right, keep it 'real', Knightshade." Rainbow jokes while making air quotes with her wings as if making fun of the band.

"Hey, was that a jab at us?" Lefty snaps at Rainbow, not amused by the jab that she just did. "Don't make us come down there, filly!"

Rainbow chose to ignore that comment as she glances at a record box on stage. The mare took a look while saying, "Must be the box of seven inches that Twilight is pulling samples from. Let's see...cool! The egghead has all the classics!"

Just then, Rainbow spots Twilight who put down the keytar for a moment and trots over to the box to pick out some records. She is now saying, "Dance break!"

The mare then went to the record box, pulling out the first record and plays it. The singer is heard saying, "Left-shift, left-shift, left-shift... left-alt-delete." Spike slid to the left before his friend plays the next record. "They make you roll with the punches, the punches (and then they, and then they) - they make you roll..."

Spike punch the air as the record plays. Once the song is done, Twilight puts in the next record as the singer now said, "Ri-right, right, ri-ri-right, right, ri-right, right..." Spike slide to the right now. The mare now uses the last record from the Gello song. "Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, go! Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, go! Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, go!"

Spike wiggles his body as the audience, Fluttershy, Nyx and Sapphire includes, cheers and whistle while applauding. Rainbow shakes her head, the mare figures that she can use the dance break against Magical Duo somehow.

For now, Rainbow goes over to the pond, commentating, "The ol' fishing hole...got more apostrophes than fish." She took out the bleach, considering about dumping the stuff in there. But then Rainbow stops upon remembering something. "Wait, bad idea. When I threw a gum wrapper in there one time, Rarity protests me into the middle of the next week via the business end of her guitar."

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

Rarity looks outraged as she hits Rainbow into the pond with her guitar forcibly. That will teach that mare to hurt ponds!

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

Rainbow shakes her head while saying, "Hate to see what that pony would do to anyone who bleach-dumped into the stinkpool." But then an idea came into her head. Turning to the Knightshade cutout, Rainbow spoke, "Hey, Knight-cutout!"

"What is it, filly?" Lefty's voice ask puzzled as Rainbow hold out the bleach.

"Can you hold this bleach for me for a minute?"

"Sound crazy but sure! It is your Rip-Roarin' Rock-dezvous with Knightshade all right!" Lefty's voice said as Rainbow put the bleach into the moving arm. Sure enough, the stuff came splashing out of the bottle and right into the water while upside down. "Wait, should we even be pouring bleach into this pond?"

"Relax, it's eco-friendly bleach." Rainbow remarks to Lefty with a devious grin. "That way, the pond will be way pristiner."

"Well, all right!"

Rainbot spots some dead fish floating to the surface of the water. Luckily neither members of Knightshade notices. Perfect, the mare took out the camera. Time for evidence number 2.

"Right, this looks promising..." Rainbow comments as she took the picture of the cardboard cutout holding the bleach. The mare look at the picture. From the looks of things, it looks like that the band is pouring the stuff into the pond on purpose. "Whoa, awesome. Looks like Knightshade is polluting the Tartarus out of that pool."

Rainbow now trots up to the bleached pond then pokes one of the fish, remarking in disgust, "Ick." She then spots a shot glass and takes it. "Way awesome, it's the hard to find Knightsahde shot glass featuring the drummer Juley Ponyrocini!"

Rainbow now uses the metal detector and soon it beeps rapidly. The mare uses the shovel to dig up the dirt then smiles as she takes out the dedication page.

"Wow, it's the dedication page to my Knightshade game manual, where they thank the fans, their mothers and their fans' mothers. All right, now to give the second piece of 'evidence' to Rarity." Rainbow said with a devilish smirk. Before she leaves, the mare took a look at the stage. "Wow, if only the Teen Colt Squad were here. Those colts would love this loose electrical cables, precariously-stacked speakers as well as the toxic swimming holes...wait a minute! That's it! An idea on how to not only tick off Rarity, but a Teen Colt Squad issue too!"

And thus, Rainbow leaves, on a mission for her band to win this thing...

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

First off, Rainbow stops by the stage, seeing Rarity still around, frowning. The mare ask her friend, "Shouldn't you be on stage, torturing lovers of cool music with your frou-frouy like music?"

"Perhaps I should go." Rarity remarks with a deep frown. After what happened today, it's pointless to stay around Sapphire Pie. "Nothing good is going on here anymore anyhow, darling."

"Please get out of the comfort zone!" The Drive-Thru Manticore said suddenly.

"Please get out of the comfort zone." Pinkie repeats what the Manticore just said, making Spike and Rarity boo at her some more. This really stinks on ice.

"Check out this photo." Rainbow said, giving out a discriminating photo to Rarity. The mare gasps in horror upon seeing what Knightshade appears to be doing.

"Dear Celestia! Poor fish, give me that!" Rarity exclaims while grabbing the photo and crumbling it up. After tossing the next trash away, the white unicorn snarls, "Oh, ponies who mess up the environment like that really make me mad. Those Knightshade ruffians better hope that I don't get my hooves on them or else!"

"Yeah...well, time for my coloring book. Heh heh..."

-----------

Rainbow heads back home and enters the living room, ready to put her next part of her plan into motion. The mare spots a box of records nearby, coming over to a closer look of them.

"This is a box of Sweetie's old record that Scootaloo put here. Say, I better....'borrow' them for safe keeping. Who knows if they could just scratched while lying there? Heh heh." Rainbow chuckles a bit as she took the box. The mare heads into her room, smiling as she put the coloring book right onto her drawing table. "Awesome! Never mind dumb note cards that hide all over! This is the most perfect Teen Colt Squad Idea ever!!!"

And thus, the comic book begins as we see four familiar colts drawn onto the first page in front of the Knightshade Tour Buss. We see the text on the bottom which said 'Knightshade's tour bus drivers alays back up to the loading dock to make things better for the roadies'.

"Teen Colt Squad Meets Knightshade!!" Rainbow screeches as she begins the story. And of course, as usual, the mare does the voices for the characters in the stories.

"Oh yes, get those manes ready, pals! We're about to sneak into the Knightshade concert!" Football Jock remarks to his pals easier.

"Yeah, I want to do some awesome crowd surfing!" What's His Flank exclaims eagerly.

"I prefer to have my elbow signed backside." The Ugly Mule said excitedly and hopefully.

"Me, I rather sing back-up." Hum Dum comments with a shrug of his pony shoulders.

A roadie appears, misunderstood while asking, "Back-up? All rightie." The stallion the back the tour bus up...crushing and running over Hum Dum in the progress.

"ROADIE MISCOMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN?!!?!?!" Rainbow is heard yelling out while laughing like mad.

"Gah, always the same!" Hum Dum remarks with a groan of death and pain, but mostly deathly.

On another page, the Football Jock and the Ugly Mule are standing near Juley and Lefty, the bottom page's text reads 'Juley and Lefty rages rage on the stage!'

"Lyeics about partying with fillies from L.A.! LYRICS!!!" Lefty laughs eagerly as he performs onstage.

"A wordsmith, wow!" The Ugly Mule exclaim eagerly. "Any chance you major in English Lit?"

"You aren't cool enough to hang with me!"

Lefty madly breath fires onto the Ugly Mule, burning the disguising mule into ashes. Rainbow is heard booming, "ENGLISH LIT!!!"

"Yo Juley. All right if you give me a tour of your awesome tattoos?" Football Jock ask Juley eagerly.

"Not a chance, colty bop! When the shirt is off, that means..." Juley is now doing a solo with his upper forelegs as well as one of the lower ones. The noise level was so loud that Football has to cover his ears with both hooves in a mad attempt to drown out the noise while screaming pain. The text at the bottom now say 'Tappity, Tappity, tappers'. "TWO-HOOVED AND ONE LEGGED TAPPING SOLO! Meedly-meedly-meedly-meedly squeedly-squeedly-squeedly-squeedly meedly-meedly-meedly-meedly..." Soon once Juley is done, the Football Jock goes into pieces...literally! "SQUAW!"

"Gah! His solos are his trademarks!!!"

The remaining Teen Colt Squad member, What's His Flank, frowns at Juley and Tamby, we see the bottom page that shows text 'Back-to-rack rocking is a cool sample of the Knightshade's shows.

"Yo, buddy! No way you can hang with a rock star with that getup." Tamby remarks to What's His Flank in amusement.

"Disgusting. You are older than both my parents. Any chance I can get off Scott-free since I hate this horse crap of a music?" What's His Flank ask the two band members dryly. Of course, without warning, Tamby is now seen kicking the colt, sending him flying while the bottom page text now say 'With his special pants, Tamby can do high kicks without major rippage'!

"Try listening to some college music in a dumb warehouse or something!"

"P-P-PUNT!!" Rainbow is heard making the sound effect. The next scene now shows What's His Flank above ths tadium as he goes near a helicopter in the air. Text shows 'Okay, Knightshade never played in this type of arena but a coloring book can always dream, right?'

"Thanks for the lift!" What's His Flank calls out to Tamby, right before he screams as the pony fell into the helicopter's blade which chop him into two with Rainbow doing the helicopter and grinding noises!

"ARENA ROCKED!!" Rainbow's voice booms. We see the 'It's Over Screen' as the bottom text now say 'The band sure knows how to pose for photos which is, to them, all about making awesome stuff with your hooves!' "It's over, awesome!"

With the comic now done, Rainbow smiles in her room while saying, "Oh yeah! That was soooo awesome! I should Teen Colt Squad my entire set of encyclopedias next or maybe the egghead's! Now then, time for the sabotaging to continue!"

----------

Rainbow's sabotaging continues as she returns to the stage of Magical Duo. While Twilight was performing with Spike and Nyx was looking, the cyan Pegasus pony goes back to the record box on stage. She smirks as the mare switch out 'Doin' The Wiggle' and 'Slide to the Right' with two records 'Mongo Left Me Miserable' and 'The Three O'clock Twist'. Next, Rainbow arranges the songs, making one of the 'Left songs' first, 'The Three O'clock Twist' next, then the other 'Left' song and finally 'Roll Wit' Da punches'.

Rainbow's work is done as she left the box alone. As if on cue, Twilight put the keytar down, saying, "Time for another dance break!" Like before the mare took out the first record from the box, playing it.

The singer is heard singing, "Left-shift, left-shift, left-shift... left-alt-delete." Spike slid to the left. Twilight now does the next record. "It's the three, it's the three, it's the three o'clock twist."

Spike now turn 90 degrees to the right before Twilight put the next record. The singer is now singing, "Mongo- Mongo left, left, left, le-left, left..." The baby dragon slides right to his left. The mare does the next record. "They make you roll with the punches, the punches (and then they, and then they) - they make you roll..."

Spike begins to punch in the air while the music plays. One problem, the baby dragon is too close to Twilight while doing this. The mare notices and yelps, "Yikes, Spike wait!"

"Da punches, da punches!" Spike exclaims, not realizing what he's doing as the baby dragon hits Twilight unknowingly like a mad dragon.

"Ouch, ouch! Stop it, knock it...STOP IT!!!"

The audience gasps as the music came to a complete stop. Spike looks frightened as Twilight growls furiously to him, Nyx yelps meekly, "Uh oh..."

Twilight then roars as she jumps into the air, turning into his angry flame form from during the situation with Pinkie's Pinkie Sense. Spike yelps, "Holy smokes!"

"THAT'S IT! YOU'RE THE WORST PARTNER THAT I HAVE EVER HAD!" Twilight yells furiously to Spike, the audience watch on. "I don't know why I thought it would be a great idea to work with a clumsy, idiotic, lazy, good for nothing dragon like you!"

"Twilight, come on! It was an accident, that was all me and..."

"Shut up! I am never EVER going to share a stage, arena, castle or some hotel's bucking lounge with you ever again! I hope you drop dead someday and when that day comes, I say good riddance! I'm leaving! Come on, Nyx!" Twilight snarls as she turns back to normal. The mare storms off the stage, taking Nyx with her. "And Spike! Be back home by your bedtime!!!"

Nyx shrugs as she follows the angry Twilight. Spike looks nervously to the honestly while saying, "Hee hee, well on with the show, eh?" The baby dragon tries to rap some more, "One, two, one-one two."

Needless to say, the audience as well as Fluttershy and Sapphire, boos in disapproval, "Boooo! Booooo!" Some of the ponies leave in disgust as the Squealing-O-Meter shows the band's approval dropping like a rock. With Magical Duo broken up once more, Spike doesn't stand a chance.

"Well, that takes care of Magical Duo. Imagine, that's what, the third time this century that I got to them to reunite and break up again, only this time in the same week?" Rainbow remarks with a light chuckle. Turning to Fluttershy, she ask her, "Can't stop staring at the wreckage that was the Magical Duo Reunion?"

"I know. I hate to be mean to Spike but I don't like this rapping. It stinks without Twilight." Fluttershy said to Rainbow with a nod.

"Word! Hey, Sapphire Shores! Apparently the egghead and the baby dragon stunk this concert up even worst than you and Pinkie Pie did!"

"Ugh, tell me about it. Worst reunion ever." Sapphire remarks to Rainbow with a deep frown.

Rainbow turns her attention to the cardboard cutout, speaking to Knightshade while asking, "Is it just me or is this crowd really going against Magical Duo...or Uno in Spike's case?"

"Bad dancing is the number 1 problem that foals gotta deal with, Rainbow Dash! These two are a menace!" Lefty's voice remarks to Rainbow in disapproval. The mare smirks at the Squealing O'Meter, Sapphire Pie and Magical Duo are out of the running.

"Two miserable bands down, only one more soon to be miserable band left...heh heh. Time for Fashion Players to go down hard..."

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

Rarity is still hanging around the stage of Sapphire Pie when Rainbow came back, taking the coloring book out and showing it to here, "Hey, Rare! Check this out!" The white unicorn took a look then gasps in horror. On these pages are pones being harmed by Knightshade! Luckily for Rainbow, Rarity didn't recognize her friend's handiwork.

"Goodness! What is Knightshade doing...oh, that is barbaric! Give me that!" Rarity snaps furiously as she took the coloring book, crumpling it up before tossing the thing away. "Honestly, ponies exploited in the media, that makes me upset even if it is in a poorly drawn coloring book!"

"Poorly drawn?"

"Oh, it is on! I should've known better than to enter this contest if I had known what those ruffians were doing! Well, I have have enough of them and their barbaric behavior!!"

"And what are you going to do?" Rainbow ask Rarity with a secret smile.

"What I should've done in the first place." Rarity said sternly to her friend.

-----------

Rainbow returns to the Fashion Players' stage and watch with the crowd and the cardboard cutout. The band is about to perform as Rarity said in microphone feedback, "Ponies, I have a new song that I want to sing!" The mare frowns while continuing, "It's about those ruffians we called our judges! It's called 'Knightshade...Is Not Very Nice'."

"What?!" Twilight and Nyx gasps in shock. What is Rarity doing again?

"Say again?" Pinkie ask in confusion by what Rarity just called her new song.

"We're what?" Lefty's voice ask in surprise. Soon the band begins to perform as Rarity, upset, begins to sing.

Rarity: Knightshade not very nice.
Beating animals is not very nice.
That's why I call this song Knightshade is not very nice.
Objectifying ponies is not very nice.
That's why I call this song...
I'll sing it all day long...
Knightshade is not very nice!
Fashion Players, Fash-ion Players!


Once the song is over, the audience went silent, shocked by Rarity's new song that vilifies Knightshade as jerks and monsters. Soon the ponies frowns as they, along with Pinkie, Twilight and Nyx, begins to boo angrily, "Boooooooooo!

"That is very mean and wrong!" Nyx calls out to Rarity angrily. Fluttershy felt embarrassed as she hid behind the drums while Big Macintosh looks down in shame. Rarity's song has definitely doomed Fashion Players' chances.

"Oh, those Fashion Players ain't so cool or fashionable! You ponies get negative 8,000,000 points for writing an anthem that is so anti-Knightsahde!" Left's voice snaps, upset. Soon the Squealing-O-Meter shows Fashion Players' approval dropping as well.

Rainbow laughs devilishly and in triumph. She knew setting up Rarity to sing that song has worked. Now all bands except AOD have fallen!

---------

Rainbow smiles proudly as she returns to AOD's stage with Applejack and Derpy practicing. The cyan Pegasus pony calls out, "Good news, girls! With the help of your fearless leader and her small thinking, AOD is much closer to winning the Battle of the Bands!"

"Let me guess, yew sabotage 'de other bands, right?" Applejack ask Rainbow with a frown. "Not what an honest like mahself wants 'ta do."

"Now, now, don't call it 'dishonest', it's part of the game. Now then, let's check the Squealing-O-Meter."

"Uh, are we supposed to be in that rank?" Derpy ask in concern. Rainbow yelps as she saw the Squealing-O-Meter. Her band AOD isn't quite winning.

"Aww, horse feathers!" Rainbow exclaims with a groan of disbelief. "All that and we're still falling behind? Ponies, we will have to rock somehow. Oh boy..."

Rainbow got to find a way for her band to win the Battle of the Bands...and fast!

Two more chapters left to go. This is going to be good, folks.

Chapter 9: Contest Winners

The time has come. With all the other band messed up and failing, crowds have gathered at AOD's stage, hoping for a better performance but after what happened tonight, nothing will excite them anymore. Applejack and Derpy begin playing their instruments while their leader heads to the stage mic.

"Oh yeah! Expensive ticket holding ponies, are you ready to be musically, sonically and if all goes awesomely to plan, physically assaulted?!" Rainbow yells out to the audience eagerly. Of course, the only noise that she heard are cricket noises. The ponies, including most of her friends in the crowd, look a bit unmoved. "Wow. Talk about a tough crowd which has ponies in bands that I sabotaged."

"Told yew 'dat sabotaging was dishonest." Applejack remarks with a grunt as the ponies saw AOD dropping to the bottom on the meter. If they want to win, the band got to impress these ponies. "Now what?"

"No problem, I have got a secret weapon to make up for everything. Almost better than a flying pig, cooler than one huge robotic demon! It's my stage prop to end all stage props!" Rainbow exclaims while pointing to some closed curtains at the stage's back along with a button. "It will guarantee to drive this crowd into one frothing metal frenzy! Once I push that button over there, the prize money, glory and colts will be mine!!! Oh, I will also fix my Game Machine. You ponies just keep playing, I will do the rest!"

"Okay, Rainbow Dash!" Derpy exclaims as she kept on playing. Rainbow trots over to the button with one determined smirk.

"Prop release button, do what you were born to do!" Rainbow press the button...but nothing happened! The mare looks annoyed as she press it a several more times. What isn't this button working?! She looks up and gasp upon seeing the problem: the wire to the curtains are broken! "The hay?! Okay, who has been gnawing on my electrical cable?!"

"Oops, sorry, Ah needed rope fer mah performance an' 'dat's 'de only thing closest to it." Applejack explains as she twirl some cable like rope much to her friend's annoyance.

"Figures! Okay, no problem. Time for Plan X! All I gotta do is to climb up the ladder or fly, make my way across the stages, hopefully that speaker won't get in the way, and pull the Emergency Release Lever!" Rainbow flies over to the ladder nearby. "All righty, ladder, get ready to be ladded!"

However as Rainbow goes near the ladder, the fan blew her away from it, making the mare, "Gah! Dumb fan!" She tries to fly to the fan in hopes to shut it off but kept getting blown. "That's the fan that I rented to swirl fog on this stage. May be a little too powerful because the fog is being blown into the next county."

Rainbow must find a way to shut the fan off so that she can get up to the top. The mare spokes a helmet with spikes and heads towards it, though the fan is making it hard for her to do so."

"Gotta...get...Minotaur...hat...gotta...stop talking like...weird actor." Rainbow mumbles while struggling against the fan. The mare finally grabs the hat before getting blown away. She ends up unintentionally doing an awesome knee-slide hallway across the stage. "WHOA!"

"She slid, the pony slid on her knees!" Pinkie gasps in surprise and amazement.

"She's safe, very safe!" Spike exclaims. The ponies begin cheering on, liking this performance suddenly.

"Oh yeah! Haven't seen moves like that since the music peace festival in Mospony!" Lefty's voice is heard sounding impressed. The ponies kept on cheering.

"Wait, wait, haven't got to the cool part yet!" Rainbow exclaims into the mic, assuring the crowd that the cool part has yet to come. The mare saw some instrument that Derpy is flying around. "What the horsecrap is that?"

Apple Bloom appears, explains, "'Dat there is 'de theremin, 'de first electronic instrument among many 'ta be made. It's 'de first 'ta be played without actually touching it. It was invented by Pony Theremin years ago after 'de outbreak o' 'de..."

"I repeat, what the horsecrap is that?" Rainbow smiles as she flies to Derpy and put the hat on her. "Hold still, you goofy eyed mare!"

"Thanks for the hat!" Derpy exclaims happily. Rainbow smiles as she flies over to the mic.

"Fillies and gentlecolts, a hooves of applauds for Baroness von Derpy Hooves, der Commisar of Metal!"

"Wow, she is so dangerous!" Rarity exclaims, impressed by Derpy.

"Yeah, she is awesome too!" Nyx exclaims with a squeal of delight.

"Wow, I wish I w3as that cool." Pinkie remarks while frowning. "Stupid name 'pinkie pie'!"

"Good work, weird instrument is the new four-necked guitar!" Lefty's voice exclaims as the ponies cheers on wildly.

"Okay, Derpy, move over and allow a real master drive this inexplicable instrument for a while." Rainbow suggests to Derpy. The silly pony flies around then hits the fuse box, causing her to get electrocuted like mad with sparks flying.

"S-s-s-s-shocking!" Derpy exclaims while getting shocked, literally. Regardless, the crowd is really enjoying this!

"Cool, pyrotechnical!" Spike exclaims with an eager smile.

"An old classic with a new twist, ouch!" Lefty is heard cheering on what's happening to Derpy.

Due to Derpy's action, the fan is finally shut off, no longer blowing. Derpy screams on wildly, "Piiiiie!" The high pitched harmonics was combined with her voice. In fact, it was during that same night that some familiar bats were flying around. The noise attracted them, sending the bats flying towards the stage.

"Live bats too? Impressive!"

"Oh, what a show!" Twilight cheers on. Soon the bats and fogs made the curtains are fogged up. Rainbow works on freeing Derpy from the fuse box. At least the fan is no longer working.

"Save some for later, ponies! I haven't unleashed my most awesome prop yet!" Rainbow calls out to the crowd eagerly in the mic. The mare press the button, still not working. "Yeah, still broken. Looks like I will have to go up there nad use the Emergency Prop Release Lever instead. Button? You are so dead to me, you hear? Dead!"

Rainbow flew up to the ladder, glancing at the situation while saying, "Well, the good news is that thanks to Derpy, the fan is now burned out so we got some good creepy fog in here. Bad news is that without something to swirl it around, the whole thing is gathered in one spot." The pony now flew up the ladder, reaching the rafters. "Awesome! I always wanted to be the creepy pony in the rafters at a concert!"

Rainbow prepares to go to the lever but there's one problem, a speaker is in her way. The mare frowns while saying, "I will never get to pull that lever with the MegaHoofer is in the way." She needs a plan so the mare returns to the stage and trots up to the mic. "Fillies and gentle-colts...Applejack!"

"Is it mah turn? Hoo doggy!" Applejack exclaims playing a country like solo. The mare jumps up and slams onto a butter tube, knocking out a lobster from it.

"Oh yeah, once again, metal lovers and country lovers, Applejack!"

"YEEHAW!"

Applejack plays the same solo, causing the bucket to whack at the end of the stage. Rainbow smiles as she goes over to the lobster that fell out of the bucket. That may be useful.

"Here, lobby-lobby, lobby." Rainbow remarks as she took the lobster. "Foals, this may be fun but yours truly is a stunt flyer on a closed course with a team of licensed crustacean wranglers back him up. So listen, don't put live buttered lobsters onto yours. Of course, if you got 5 bits running on it, then go ahead!"

Rainbow put the lobster away before commentating on the cable, "Let's see...that speaker cable appears to be the only thing keeping that MegaHoofer from crashing to the stage in an awesome sparks and flames! Unfortunately, of all the adventures to not have a sword, hedge shears or a nunchuck gun..." Soon an idea came to the mare as she took the lobster out. "Maybe this lobster's claws are sharp enough to cut through this cable."

Rainbow begins work on putting the lobster's clamp onto the cable, but nothing's happening. The mare sighs in annoyance, "Guess not. Better..."

"There yew are!" Applejack exclaims as she looks towards Rainbow all of the sudden.

"Hoo boy!"

"Thunk yew could git away fro' me, didn't ya?"

Applejack eagerly uses her axe guitar and swing at the lobster. This causes the cable to be send in half while the said lobster is send flying up. During the madness, the speaker fell on, landing on top of another speaker hard. The crowd cheers wildly. This is the best performance tonight!

The lobster pops up behind the speaker and taunts Applejack who respond by striking at it with her guitar. The crustacean moves out of the way time. The audience watch the beating/ducking in amazement.

"Totally awesome!" Lefty cheers on through the cutout.

"Oh, if you ponies like that, then you will definitely love my stage-prop!" Rainbow assures the crowd with a smirk while gesturing to the closed curtain. The mare now glances at the speaker being beaten up. "Wow, that speaker sure took a lot of damage...must be Coltbain proofed."

Rainbow heads back to the levers and heads to the lever, calling out, "Spectacle lovers, get ready! Feast your spectacles on the coolest stage prop ever deployed by pony or anything else un-pony!!!"

Rainbow pulls the lever, causing the curtains to part and for the sandbags to shift. The mare returns to the stage and shift while exclaiming, "Ta-daa!"

"Boooo!" Pinkie boos with some ponies in the crowd. It turns out that the fog that was made is blocking the prop itself.

"Yeah, we can't see the prop!" Nyx complains a bit while booing as well.

"Talk about your major stagecraft misfire!" Lefty exclaims in disapproval. Rainbow finally saw the fog, as well as bats, blocking the prop. Not cool! The crowd can't see what she was going to show them!

"Gah! Blast you, fog-bats, not to be confused with foghat!" Rainbow exclaims angrily. The AOD meter drops to the very bottom immediately. The band is losing! The mare waves her hooves in hopes to shoo the bats off. "Go on, scram! Go away, endele, beat it!!"

But no matter what, the bats won't fly off. Rainbow gave up, there must be a way to fix this problem. The mare then spots the butter leftover in the bucket.

"Well, the lobsters are gone, but there's still a lot of butter left." Rainbow said in observation. The mare soon got another cool idea, she grabs the bucket and heads to the fog machine, pouring butter right into it. "Butter plus dry ice equals...well, okay, math isn't my thing but that sounds like one cool-dratic formula to me!"

Soon the fog machine shoots out butter, spreading it right onto the bat who got covered with the stuff. Rainbow comments, "Bleached buttered bats, sounds like an appetizer at a neighborhood Equestrian bistro franchise for griffins. Not sure why a few of them are missing, eh?"

"Wait, bleached buttered BATS?! Sounds like mah kind o' sport!" Applejack gasps upon hearing what Rainbow just mentioned. The mare then jumps up and grabs a bat...and begins to wrestle before attacking another. "'Dis is what Ah called 'bat wrestling'! HEEHAW!"

This form of sport got the crowd excited. Pinkie cheers on, "Applejack, Applejack!"

"Applejack, Applejack!" The crowd cheers on wildly than they did before Applejack went to the rodeo one time (which she lost but who's remembering?).

"Wow...that is more awesome than some foal's older brother just telling you about it!" Rainbow exclaims, impressed with what Applejack is doing.

Soon the last bat is gone, being chased off by Applejack. The crowd cheers as the AOD meter shot right up...until it explodes! It's obviously that the band has won this contest!

"Fan-freakin'-tastic, baby!" Lefty cheers on wildly. AOD wins the concert!

Rainbow slid to the mic quickly, shouting into it, "Fillies and gentle-colts...I give you..." The mare now yells out in a deep resonating voice. "AOD!!!!"

With the fog and bats gone, the prop is revealed...to be a badly drawn cutout cardboard of Rainbow with spikes on her head and the letters 'AOD' written above on the wall. Not impressive. But the crowd doesn't seem to notice as they ignore the cutout, coming up to Applejack eagerly.

"Applejack, Applejack!" The crowd cheers on. Applejack smiles as she jumps to the crowd who carried her up like a rock star. "Applejack, Applejack!"

"Little sis, little sis! Eeyup!" Big Macintosh cheers on as he follows the crowd. Soon all is quiet as only Rainbow Dash is behind...apparently, the mare is a bit awkward but is trying to think of the opposite of what's happening.

"Cool! My awesome stage prop made you crazy that you must've accidentally carried the wrong pony on you. That's cool! I will wait here until you get with it and come back for me!" Rainbow calls out awkwardly. Of course, after a moment, the mare frowns, realizing that the crowd isn't coming back for her, causing her to knock the mic stand down.

Well, despite that, AOD has won the Battle of the Bands, that's more important, right?

Author's note
AOD has won the contest! In the next and final chapter, the Game Machine is fixed but it appears that something is still wrong with it. But is the game console really broken all this time? And also, some extra stuff! Read, review and suggest.

Okay, this is it, folks, the final chapter of this story. Afterwards, well, you get the idea. And Shadow Syndicate? No hard feelings.

Epilogue: Game Machine Is Back

Time has passed since the concert was over...well, okay, the next day as Rainbow came into her room, carrying a familiar machine with bandages.

"Wow, with the record session, world tour, fall from glory, reunion tour as well as a series of painful shots, I almost forgot to get my Game Machine from Twilight!" Rainbow exclaims with an eager smile. Twilight looks a bit annoyed that she gave the prize money to her friend since AOD won the contest. Fortunately, the mare gave it all back so that the Game Machine can be fixed so the unicorn is happy. The Pegasus pony put the Game Machine in front of the TV while installing the game that she wanted to play before this madness started. "Okay! Time for the Pony Odyssey to begin! Yeah!"

Of course, Rainbow thought all her troubles were over, but to her shock, machine begins to smoke once more. The mare gasps in shock, "What the crippity-horse crap?! TWIIIIIIIILIGHT!!!" The Game Machine is still broken! Twilight has swindled her, probably as payback for winning!

"Hey, what's going on?" Sweetie ask with a frown as she and the other fillies came in (using cloud magic to walk of course). "We are working on the screenplay adaptation of the prize winning articles that we didn't wrote."

"Blast that egghead! She ripped me off big time, more than usual! The Game Machine is still broken as ever!"

"Hang on, hang on." Apple Bloom said while taking a look at the Game Machine then takes the Knightshade cartridge right out. After a close inspection, the filly spots something. "Hey! Saw 'de problem!"

"What?" Rainbow ask puzzled, wondering what Apple Bloom has saw.

"'De Game Machine was never broken! Apparently, there's a crusty wad o' jalapeno cheese spray stuck in 'de cartridge!" Apple Bloom exclaims while pointing to something stuck on the cartridge. Sure enough, there's some cheese stuck on it. Rainbow smiles while removing the cheese itself.

"Oh yeah! I was wondering where you ran off to! I was looking all over for you before I started playing the Game Machine!"

As Rainbow ate the cheese, Scootaloo looks puzzled as she ask her idol, "Why didn't you notice the cheese piece in the first place? At least the whole concert thing wouldn't have happened and you wouldn't have gone through all that trouble recently to fix something that wasn't broke in the first place.

"Yeah, embarrassing, yeah. Look, if I have known that it was there before, I would've use the bits on something cooler. Still, the adventure wouldn't been 200% awesome and...look, let's just play this game, okay?" Rainbow insists. With the Game Machine fixed, it's time to play the awesome Knightshade game!

Once the game is back in, it begins once more as Rainbow plays it, this time with no interruption. The ponies watch the screen then screech at the same time as Game Lefty, "Rock and roll, Brony!" Rainbow begins to play the game as the credits roll, the songs are heard, each one fades out as another begins to play.

Singer's Voice: Boys, boys, boys! Toys, toys, toys! Boys, boys, boys! Toys, toys, toys!

The song fades as another begins.

Rarity's Voice: We're Fashion Players and we're all jiggly.

Gello's Voice: Ooooo!

Rarity's Voice: Stuck in here with Gello and we're doin' the Wigglie.

Gello's Voice: Doin' the Wigglie! Wiggle, waggle, wiggle...

Once that song is done, the next one begins.

Singer: Mongo left, Mongo left, oh, Mongo left me misera-bleh

It fades as another song plays on.

One more time, in case ya missed, it's the three o'clock twist

It faded before another one played.

You gotta slide to the right, y'all bridesmaids!

Background Vocals: Slide to the right!

It faded before the next one played.

Singer: Left-shift, left-shift, left-shift-alt-delete

It faded before the next one played.

Spike's Voice: (rapping) ...and so I throw a fruit punch all the time!

Twilight's Voice: I may be soft 'round the middle but I'm still hardcorey

Spike/Twilight: (rapping) She's/I'm stealin' stuff from her/my own dang library!

Soon, everything fades away with a heavy metal guitar riffs. Rainbow smiles as she finishes the game with over 45000 points on the game. It was a rough ride, but the mare has gotten the job done.

"Wow, I almost got nailed by one surface to air Flying Vee thing!" Rainbow exclaims while putting the controller down as she stood up. That was so awesome to play that game after so long!

Sweetie whistles while saying, "Wow, sounds pretty dangerous."

"No, sounds..."

Rainbow grins as she and the fillies saw the poster for Dasheresque 3, the mare begins humming the theme song. It's time for the ponies of Ponyville finally get to work on the next film of the Dasheresque films after a long wait!

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

Things are going back to normal in Ponvyille (well, what's close to it anyway). The stage hooves have yet to remove the stages so they are still around for ponies to hang out or the whatnot. Rainbow was trotting around to inform her friends that it's time to do work on Dasheresque 3 at last.

Rainbow arrives at the AOD stage, seeing Derpy still hanging there near the thermin, much to the mare's surprise. Rainbow comments, "Derpy, it's typical that you're still here!"

"I wanna play with this thermin further! Yahoo!" Derpy cheers on happily as she flew around the thermin, making sure to stay clear of the fuse box this time.

"Okay. Listen, we're going to do work on Dasheresque 3 so be sure to get your stunt doub...err, I mean your practicing for your usual role ready."

"Okay! Later, Rainbow Dash!"

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

Rainbow returns to the club and there's Sapphire Shores at her table again, frowning as she looks at some photos. The Pegasus pony can guess that the popstar has dumped Pinkie Pie and is now looking for a new singing partner because of the mess up at the concert.

"Going back to the talent search?" Rainbow ask Sapphire in amusement. "Here's an idea: get rid of the middle pony and hire that Diamond Dogs' tail!"

"Oh shut up, I ain't hiring any more ponies from this town!" Sapphire snaps to Rainbow in annoyance. "I am hiring creatures that won't mess up no matter what!"

Rainbow shrugs as she goes to the turntable, the 'Playing the Wigglie' record is on it. The mare plays it as Gello is heard singing, "Wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle, go!"

"Shut that blasted music off! I am trying to focus here!"

Rainbow turns the record off then spots a familiar manual page which she picks, there's a hot alien stallion on the back. The mare comments, "Sweet holy mother of moley, it's the back cover of the Knightshade game, completed with an autographed photo of the real-life hot stallion who was one of the models in the game one!"

Rainbow plays the Wiggle record on the other side on the turntable. It plays a new song as Big Macintosh and Rarity are heard singing.

Big Macintosh: MY FACE! MY FACE! PLEASE DON'T PUT NEEDLES IN MY FACE! MY FACE!

Rarity: His face!

Big Macintosh: MY FACE!

Rarity: His face!

Big Macintosh and Rarity: PLEASE DON'T PUT NEEDLES IN MY FACE!

"I thought I told you to stop playing that thing!" Sapphire yells at Rainbow angrily, annoyed once more that the turntable is playing while she's trying to concentrate.

"Fine, I will stop playing this, ugh!" Rainbow snaps in annoyance as she removes the Wigglie record. Then the mare put the Slide to the Right one on the turntable.

The record begins to play as a singer is heard, "You gotta slide to the right, y'all bridesmaids!"

"Stop playing that thing!" Sapphire yells at Rainbow getting more and more irritated now. She is just close to storming out of the club and never coming back to Ponyville ever again!

"Okay, okay! Fine, lose one stupid contest..." Rainbow groans as she stops the record. The mare heads out to continue spreading the word of Dasheresque 3.

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

As Rainbow arrives at Cloudsdale, she saw the CMC in their security jackets hanging out. The mare frowns as she asks, "You three do know that the concert is over, right? You have to wear those jackets anymore."

"Well, there is already a big buzz about them so we decided to go ahead and make a new band called 'Security'." Sweetie said to Rainbow with a smile. "We could be Cutie Mark Crusader Singers!"

"YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SINGERS!" The trio of fillies did their cheer at once making Rainbow cringes a bit at this.

"Check out 'ta our first hit single!" Apple Bloom remarks. The trio of fillies clear their throats as they begin to sing to the tune of 'Mongo Left Me Miserable'.

"Security left...security left--"

"Yeah, enough already!" Rainbow interrupts the trio of fillies in annoyance. That's enough singing for one day!

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

Spike is hanging out at the locker room as Rainbow returns there. The mare smiles while asking, "So Spike, tired of making things worth with 'Magical Duo'? Twilight still wants you dead?"

"Aw, she apologizes for the yelling and that, she was ticked off during the time." Spike explains to Rainbow with a smile. "No chance of Magical Duo making another comeback though. But I knew Twilight will be back. She loves me like a brother!"

"Uh, yeah, didn't need to know that."

"Hmmm, come to think about it, Twilight sometimes hates me like one too."

Rainbow look surprised as a T-Shirt for Knightshade appears. The mare exclaims, "Cool, awesome! Okay, Spike, listen, we're doing production for Dasheresque 3!"

"Oh cool! So what role would I get?" Spike ask Rainbow eagerly as the mare shove his script to him.

"You're in the role of the bad guy."

"Awww, man! I am always in the role of the bad guy!"

Author's note
The story is done, guys. Whatcha think? Okay, next fic is the fourth season of Rainbow Dash's E-Mails...which is really short due to the fact that Strong Bad's E-Mails haven't been updated in years, but I will put in some lost e-mails and maybe Pinkie Pie E-Mails to make it longer. Anyway, until next time, read, review and suggest!
