It was a nice, sunny morning  in Ponyville. Perfect for flying around, practicing aerial tricks and just generally improving your already awesome flying skills.

"Alright, Rainbow Dash, prepare for an awesome day of being awesome!" Rainbow announced loudly to anypony who happened to be passing by, "I can't wait to-"

    "Hey Rainbow Dash!" A familiar voice interrupted her self-indulged narration,"Can you come down here?" Rainbow sighed and muttered to herself as she slowly flew down from the cloud she had been standing on and landed on the ground, right next to Twilight Sparkle herself. "Hi Rainbow-"

"Hello Twilight, your royal highness"

    Twilight rolled her eyes and continued,"I was just coming by because Rarity got tickets to go to a very important concert, I mean, it's so rare that Celebrities tour in Ponyville, you know, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with us."

    Rainbow just rolled her eyes as well and just said, "Really? You're asking ME about this? Don't you think that maybe Pinkie or even Applejack, you know, depending on who's playing, would rather go? I was going to practice my awesome flight skills today....so...aw..gotta go.....bye!" Rainbow was about to take off, but Twilight stopped her,

    "Actually, based on who's playing, I think you'd be enjoy it more than AppleJack, or obviously Fluttershy, and Pinkie is busy doing....something with the Cakes, she didn't exactly specify." Twilight informed her, "Something about 'Cupcakes'. Anyway-"

    "Oh yeah, then who's playing?" Rainbow asked, irritation creeping into her voice.

    "Michael Jackson, I'm sure you've probably heard of him." Twilight answered, trying to her hardest to sound impressive.

    "No idea, and really, I DON'T CARE!" Dash was at the point where she felt the conversation was too long, and wanted to end so badly, she would start just becoming rude just to finish it abruptly and, most likely, awkwardly.  

    "But this is the most important event in Ponyville since the Summer Sun Celebration!" Twilight complained, stomping her hoof in the dirt, "Besides, Rarity spent so much time and effort trying to get a deal for front row seats and Backstage Passes!"

  "Well, when you make it sound impressive that she got slips of paper, then.....maybe....uhhh...I guess I can, but what time do I have to be at.......?"

    "Carasol Boutique, 7:00"

    "Right." Rainbow felt only mildly irritated that she had hastily agreed to go, just to get Twilight out of her face.

    Rainbow Dash arrived at Rarity's place and knocked on the door. "Come on in, dear" Rarity called from inside. Rainbow trotted in and looked around. Rarity was standing by her stage, observing an outfit that Twilight was wearing. It was a short, simple purple dress that wasn't all that flashy. Rainbow walked over and asked,

    "Do I have to wear a dress?" She whined.

    "Well..." Rarity began, "This is a formal event, but I do know how much you despise dresses, so I made you something.....else." She trotted down the stairs of the stage and over to her closet, peeking in for a few moments before coming out with a black suit (That was Way too obviously based off a stallion's suit) and showing it to Rainbow Dash.

    "That literally looks more itchy and uncomfortable than a dress...like....literally" Rainbow commented, honestly (But then again, Rainbow's honesty is not usually kind to the pony it's directed at).

    "Will NOTHING please you?" Rarity growled, glaring at her, in a very scary way, getting her point across without even having to say another word.

    "Fine...I'll...wear it, I guess" Rainbow reluctantly agreed. She stood still as Rarity used her magic to slip on the suit, and button up the little, tiny buttons on the ends of the sleeves. "Well, at least this doesn't have...like a tie or something." She tried to be positive and not scratch her particularity itchy flank at that second.

    "Well, it did before I adjusted it. Alright, now that you two are dressed, I'll go get mine on." Rarity stated as she levitated her dress over to the dressing room, (because she insisted on using it), and closed the door. She came out a few minutes later wearing a dress a little more flashy than Twilight's, but still surprisingly plain. "Well then, don't just stand there gawking! I made this dress simple because I figured, well, the seats may be too small for a HUGE, poofy dress, so I made it simpler. Now, come along." Twilight and Rainbow glanced at each other, and they could both tell that the other was thinking the same thing.....

    "Really? That's your excuse? Whatever."

    About 30 minutes later, the three mares arrived at the town hall, where the concert was taking place.

"Wow." Twilight breathed as she looked around, "They really fixed this place up." And it was true, there were stage lights, decorations, and what had to be a thousand nice, not cheap fold-out seats, but soft, fluffy pillows.

    "Well, I gotta admit, this place does really look nice." Rainbow said as she surveyed the area. The trio eventually found the entrance to the seating area, guarded by two security ponies.

    "Tickets, please." One of them said in a gruff voice. Rarity levitated the tickets into his hoof, and after a short investigation, he marked them and said, "Row One, Seats 14, 15, and 16."

    Rainbow could tell that Rarity and Twilight were super jumpy as they got closer to the front row. She really didn't understand why, as, in her opinion, concerts were just ponies singing at a lower quality than it you heard them on a record or something. Besides, it's not like they do....like awesome dance moves or anything...

   When they got to the front, there was another security pony, presumably there so ponies didn't just sit down in the front row whenever they felt like it.....or start fighting to try and sit there. He looked at the tickets for a brief moment, then allowed the mares to sit down. Rainbow had just sat down when she heard a familiar voice next to her, "Hey, are you Rainbow Dash?!" It exclaimed, obviously surprised. At first, she thought it might be Scootaloo, but then she realized that the voice was male. She turned her head, only to see Cheese Sandwich sitting next to her,

     "Cheese!?" She exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

     "Well, I came to see my buddy Michael perform, duh!" He answered, "I remember when I first asked him to parody 'Beat it', aww.....I was so nervous, but I'm glad I did it, because without him, I never would have become famous!"

    "Wait, you've met Celebrities before?" Rainbow asked, confused.

    " 'Course I have, I mean-"

    "Shhhhh! The show's about to start!" A mare sitting next to Cheese cut him off. "Alright, Rainbow thought, Let's see why this is so important that I can't just skip it and have a GOOD time." Next Chapter: The Show Begins Estimated time remaining: 24 Minutes
