Previous Chapter Next ChapterRainbow Dash's E-Mails: concert
Rainbow is having one of her usual days as she is at work on her computer, dealing with the annoying new paper as she is singing, "I'm running through a field of e-mails; Paranoia; Paranoia!"
Dear Rainbow Dash: who you think would win in a fight to the death. the figure that lives in pinkies dungens or Psycho pie.
Greenrob
Rainbow respond with this, "Let's see...that depends on who doesn't want to make me into cupcakes afterwards...and if I'm far away as possible when the fight happens. In either case, I would go either figure. All it takes is a couple of certain words and Psycho Pie will get the brrs. Brrrrr! Brrr! I mean...next e-mail!"
Subject: concert
Hey there Rainbow Dash
Ever been to a Concert? If so what type of concert was it?
Your Main Dragon,
Metal Iron (smiley face)
Rainbow's speech became depressed while reading the signature. The mare then types while demanding, "Look, pal, wipe that smiley face off the words 'smiley face'. No one impersonate the Invincible Dragon, got it?" As this was said, a sprite of Metal Iron came onto the screen and burninate the e-mail signature while his arcade theme music plays. "Yeah, I go to concert. Why else would yours truly own a pair of movie star boulevards?"
In Ponyville, Rainbow grins as she is wearing a pink tiger pattern bandanna and very unusual shoes, ready for a concert. Just then Lyra, wearing a simpler outfit, came onto the scene, grinning while saying, "Hey, human shoes! Whatcha all gussied up for?"
"Oh shut up, I always dressed like this!" Rainbow snaps to Lyra in annoyance. "If you must know, I am going to see Knightshade tonight; never heard of the headliner but I suspect that they are very lame. I am going to show up late; so how about you? What are you all gussied down for?"
"Oh, well, I'm going to see a show tonight too. Bon-Bon was busy so I'm going by myself. Never heard of the headline so I will leave early just to see if they're cool or not."
The ponies heads off, ready to attend their concert, which is going to be a weird yet interesting one indeed.
At the computer room, Rainbow types in while remarking, "Hey, interesting fact: they were related. Apparently Knightshade has decided to expand their audience into ponies that goes to college or something. So they got this band called 'mushi mushi' to open up for them. Unfortunately, Knightshade end up cancelling! You know why?"
As a paper labeled 'Knightshade Contract Riders' appears, we can hear drums playing as Lefty is heard saying, "Our audience has got to be 94% hot young mares with bangs higher than or equal to our own!" The drums got more intense, "Also, a deviled egg tray!" The mentioned words appear handwritten with horns and a tail on the contract.
You folks can guess that the band didn't get either. The paper disappears.
Rainbow types in as she continues, "As a result, Knightshade ended up hanging out in their tour bus and watched Ponyland Classic all night. mushi mushi ended up playing both sets. Needless to say, I became perplexed...and interested."
The concert is down as Rainbow and Lyra are heading home, the Pegasus pony is in her concert outfit while the unicorn is wearing a mushi mushi T-Shirt with the band being heard in the background.
"So try to help me out. Are those ponies missing some members?" Rainbow asks Lyra a bit confused about the band. "I mean, what happened to their lead guitarist?"
"To be honest, that was the whole band." Lyra explains to Rainbow, much to her disbelief.
"Are you kidding?! No ponies are allowed to have a band with only 3 members! And there's something off about these guys; Where's the bassist's sunglasses; did his lenses fall out or something?"
"Nope! Those were just regular glasses that he was wearing."
"Whoa, shock and horror," Rainbow said in disbelief yet amazement. This is the start of a new friendship between the two ponies.
The ponies hang out at Lyra's house, playing video games with Bon-Bon, Rainbow has taken off her unusual ones that lied by the couch. As they play, the Pegasus pony asks, "So, those ponies must be a brand new band, right?"
"Nope, they have been around for 5 or 6 years now." Lyra explains clearly to Rainbow.
"Watch your flank!" Bon-Bon calls out to the two ponies, warning them to watch their back in the games.
"Then how come they haven't grown their manes long yet?" Rainbow asks Lyra curiously.
"I think those are just mane cuts, Rainbow Dash." Lyra explains to Rainbow some more.
"Is that so?"
"Honestly, you two ponies are getting obsessed with that lame band that Lyra's into." Bon-Bon said to Rainbow and Lyra dryly.
In the bathroom, Lyra was brushing her teeth with Rainbow, holding a toothbrush of her own for some reason, stand there, talking some more, "Did some pony stole their costume trailer? That must be tough. They couldn't wear any of their spandex, latex, or Tex-mex...kinda stuff."
Lyra, annoyed by Rainbow's constant questions and the invasion of the privacy, removes the toothbrush to explain, "Rainbow Dash, the band doesn't even wear costumes! They probably wear what they usually wear all day, either clothes or nothing at all!"
"But...the music rocked..."
"Yep."
"And those stallions weren't wearing costumes." Rainbow said, getting more amazed and interested by mushi mushi by the second.
Lyra removes the toothbrush out of her mouth to speak some more, shaking her head as she said, "Nope!"
"Interesting, very interesting..."
Rainbow and Lyra's friendship appears to be getting stronger. The two are now hanging out at the mud-bath area at the Ponyville spa, wearing towels on their heads and cucumber slices on their eyes. Lyra's horn is exposed from the towel.
"And there were no high leg kicks or choregraphed spin moves...and that one stallion even had his back to us all night." Rainbow said with a sigh. "I mean, wow. It's like those ponies don't even care about me. Just like when they played that song that is called 'We don't really even care about you'?"
Rainbow is now playing Pony Commando-Os with Pinkie Pie at Sugarcube Corner while a mushi mushi CD in a CD player plays the just-mentioned song. The Pegasus pony is wearing a T-shirt with the mentioned band's name on it.
As Rainbow and Pinkie plays with Pony Command-Os toys, the pink pony ask her friend, "And no pyrotechnics or fire stuff?"
"Afraid not! They strung a bunch of Hearth's Warming Eve lights all over their bass drum!" Rainbow explains to Pinkie excitedly.
"And...those ponies still rocked?"
"Yeah, totally! Also, those guys can't be bothered to play solos so they always leave a space that you can sing your own. Check out these mow do mows!" Rainbow then begins to imitate an electric guitar solo, much to the amazement of Pinkie, "Mow-do-mow; Mow-do-mow; Moodly-mow, moodly-mow, moodly-mow; Meedly-meedly-meedly-mow, meedly-mow; Mow-do-mow; Mow-do-mow, mowdow, mow-dow-do-mow!"
Just then Lyra trots up, smirking as she exclaims, "Hey there, mushi-ay!"
"mushi-ay to ya, sister."
Pinkie blinks while remarking, "Wow, you silly fillies are lamey damey."
Rainbow grins as she prepares to finish up her e-mail as she types in, "And thus, that's how mushi mushi became one of my favorite metal bands."
Rainbow was doing her e-mail in the park as Lyra, standing nearby while holding a mushi mushi vinyl record, spoke up, "Actually, Rainbow Dash...I wouldn't exactly call them 'metal'."
"What are you on about, Lyra? Come on, those ponies are metals. Look at the awesome facts. No costume." Rainbow said as a costume appears on the screen which has an X on it, crossing the thing out. "A short mane..."
A long yellow mane appears which begins to turn into the short brown kind. Rainbow continues, "They also got a logo that isn't jaggedy or drippety..." We now see a jagged upside rendition of the mushi mushi appearing which turns upside down, became normal. Just then, Rainbow is slowing down, suddenly became annoyed and less impressed. "They also got songs that aren't about mares...just some town...or good times..."
We see a CD that has a track listing which reads '1. Smokin' fine honey-foal; 2. Sunset Strip Ponies; 3. Pony Party Patrol appearing before changing into '1. ok, whatever; 2. Unripe; 3. Art elf'; It didn't take Rainbow to realize what mushi mushi really is...and she is very ticked off!
"What the hay; Hey, hang on!" Rainbow exclaims angrily to Lyra. "You set me up! mushi mushi isn't metal at all!"
"Hey, who said anything about tricking you? I was only helping you broaden your horizons." Lyra explains sheepishly to Rainbow. "Besides, with Bon-Bon busy, I needed somepony to hang with and..."
"Oh, I will broaden your horizons and hang you!" Rainbow exclaims furiously. She grabs the mushi mushi records and breaks it over Lyra's head, leaving a piece in her mane. The unicorn groans, perhaps it was a bad idea. Rainbow goes back to her computer while typing in annoyance, "And that's how mushi mushi became one of my least favorite bands...and why I dislike Lyra even more."
The new paper slide down, making Rainbow scowls, "Aww, man; that sound of yours got no punch at all, you just slither out like a tongue out of Gummy if he's ever boring! Try this."
Rainbow gave a flip disk into the new paper, chucking it right now, sticking the whole thing at the top of the screen. The new paper prints out some more, saying the word, 'How do you like me now, filly?' We can hear a grinding sound instead of the normal one, plastic chunks fall to the ground. The floppy disk got grind all right.
"Yeah, there we go. We will be good until you completely shred that disk." Rainbow said in satisfaction. The new paper retracts slightly as we can hear more grinding sounds with more plastic chunks falling.
Granny Smith, standing on a lawn mower, does a commercial as she said, "Hello there, Missy! Check out my Ponygeway." We see the Ponygeway logo appearing near the mare before disappear. "And don't tell no Applejack..." The words 'Don't Tell No Applejack' flashing for a while. "This lawn mower thing turns backways. Help me buy it and I will cut ya in!"
Of course, Rainbow flies over, excitedly exclaiming, "Hey, let me help you buy it, let me," Granny Smith mumbles as she drives the lawn mower offscreen, not wanting to deal with the young mare right now.
Merry Ponyrocini sat on the couch in the tour bus watching a classic episode of Ponyland on Ponyland Classic. Lefty is standing nearby, watching but looking very annoyed. A whistle blow is heard.
"Hay, that Applejack pony just plain clumsy," Merry comments while eating some hay chips.
"I am very mesmerized by that Wind Whistler's mane!" Lefty remarks as he made gestures with his hooves, "Oooouch!" The pony punches the air with one hoof.

We see Rainbow and Lyra in their mud baths, the Pegasus pony curiously ask, "Where do the mud baths come from anyhow? These things are awesome!"
Suddenly Big Macintosh came out of Lyra's bath in a snorkel and goggles, causing the mares to scream. The stallion protests, "Shucks, my mud ain't that bad; Nnope!"
The End
