The lights dimmed and the only noise was members of the audience shushing each other for a few seconds. Rainbow shifted in her seat awkwardly as the background music started off in a funky disco beat, and she found herself kinda enjoying it. Eventually, when a pony trotted onto the stage and into the spotlight, she felt her wings shuffle on her back for a second, most likely in protest of her enjoyment on what was usually considered 'uncool' music, but she shrugged it off and listened to the song. He began with a soft, but still well audible introduction. The stallion had a smooth, but strong voice, and Rainbow got lost for a second, seeing all the awesome lights, smoke machines and the way he moved so smoothly. Then, a few seconds and lyrics later, he stood up on hind legs, surprising Rainbow, as even she couldn't stand up on her hind legs without shaking or falling over, but this guy did it without even shaking once.

     "Don't stop 'till you get enough!" He sung, without a hint of a care that about 1,000 ponies were staring at him.

     "Wow," Rainbow said to herself, as Michael (That is what Twilight said his name was, right?) actually began to do some awesome moves that she couldn't even describe because they didn't even fit into pony anatomy!

    "Enjoying yourself?" Rarity whispered to Rainbow, who immediately saw this as a mocking of her 'Good Name' and jumped to her defense,

    "Of course not!! This is so boring and stupid! I mean...... DISCO MUSIC??!!" She burst out a little too loudly. Luckily, none of the security ponies were nearby at the moment, but it just so happened that Michael was right in front of them at that point, and he looked a little shocked for a second, but them looked out to the audience and smiled at everypony, obviously trying to act like he didn't care. Rainbow quickly covered her mouth with a hoof, and looked over at Twilight, who had a smirk on her face that said only one thing: I know you like it, Rainbow.

     A few minutes later, Cheese looked over at her and asked, "Hey, um..what was that about?" Before answering, Rainbow glanced over at Twilight and Rarity, who were looking back at the stage before leaning over to Cheese and whispering in his ear,

    "OK, between you and me, this guy is SO AWESOME! Seriously, but I guess I should have said that, instead of, you know, insulting a clearly awesomely talented stallion literally to his face, but whatever,  I didn't mean to!" Cheese sighed, but he knew she was secretly asking him what to do, so he replied,

    "Well, did you get backstage passes?"

    "Yes, but, wait a second! Where did that question come from? What would you have done if I said No?!"

    "Well, you said Yes, not No. Anyway, what I think you should do is after the show, go to Michael and apologize, and make sure he knows that you didn't mean to shout 'This is so boring' to one of Equestria's most amazing performers." He said honestly. "And, um..you really should do that, 'cause, he's got..............like......complications going on in his life, that...uh...may lead him to actually believe what you said."

    "What do you mean, complications?" She groaned, before realizing the song was near the last few seconds, and as the sound faded away, Rainbow wondered what she could do. She certainly WASN'T going to walk up to a random celebrity and apologize for something she clearly didn't mean, but then again, why shouldn't she? "I mean, it's not like I'll be mocked endlessly for apologizing to somepony who didn't do anything  to make me yell about his hard work and performance being 'Boring'" She argued with herself untill she heard the clacking of drumsticks, and a pony, presumably the conductor of the band, say,

    "One!...Two!...Three!" The music started out Way different from the other song. It sounded like a loud, creepy base was doing most of the music, which it probably was. Rainbow had to admit, though the last song had been cool, this sounded scary (and, admittedly about 20% cooler)! There were wolves howling in the background and thunder sound effects that were being played at full blast! She saw Michael stalk across the stage acting like he had a limp and wearing a torn, red vest. He grabbed the mic and started to sing, in an almost haunting way. One thing was for sure: This would be an awesome song to play on Nightmare Night. "Wonder if i should mention that to Pinkie, I mean she is in charge of the Nightmare Night soundtrack..."

    "Psst....Twilight...." Rainbow whispered, about thirty seconds later, "This song sounds really awesome!"

    "Well, Rainbow, you don't have to whisper." She replied, "Almost everypony here is a fan of this guy, so it's not like any of them will think it's odd if you like it."

    "Well, I just want to make sure nopony who thinks I'm 'Cool' sees me here, you know, in case it ruins my reputation for them."

    "First of all," Twilight started, eager to prove Rainbow's (obviously) flawed logic wrong,"If they were here, it would most likely mean they were a fan of Michael too, so they would probably like you more if they saw you here, you know, they'd think you are a fellow fan and all that........ And second of all, if they magically hate you for coming here, them why is it worth it to try and impress them anyway?" Rainbow thought about it. Twilight made good points and really knew how to win a logical battle, almost to the point where it was obnoxiously evident that she must have studied "How to Win an Argument: Advanced Guide". Seriously. One day, when Rainbow was forced to help Twilight reshelve the library, and she found a book of the same title. IN HER 'READ AGAIN' PILE!! She gagged at the memory for a second, before jumping in her seat as a haunting voiceover began to take over the song, while Michael sang the back-up part.

    'Wow," Rainbow thought, "You know, I  wonder if AJ would like this....Actually, after the 'Bats' incident, I'm sure she would, because, apparently, now she's into creepy music."

    The narration ended in maniacal laughter, which caused the ponies in the audience to stomp their hooves in deafening noise. "Well..." Rarity asked as she and Twilight turned towards Rainbow hopefully, "Did you like that one........at least a little bit more?"

    "As much as I hate to admit it..." She glanced angrily at Twilight, her glare stating one thing, 'This is all you and your stupid logic's fault.', "That....Was....EPIC!!!!! Ahem.....uhhh.......it was cool...sure."

    "Called it!" Rarity whispered to Twilight, before looking down at her little brochure-thingy, "I think she'll like the next one, one of my personal favorites, 'Beat It'" Next Chapter: (B)Eat it Estimated time remaining: 19 Minutes
