Alright, so Deep Bass is finally arriving in Ponyville, where he can escape the rockpony life... right? Maybe. Chapter 4 comin up.

Chapter 4:

It was a crisp cool Monday morning. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, the little critters were coming out of their dens to enjoy the day. The air was perfect for flying, and Deep Bass was... sitting impatiently on top of the mover's carriage as it was pulled toward Ponyville. He groaned and looked down at the grey Earth Pony that was pulling the wagon. "How much longer do you think it'll take, bro?"

The Earth Pony looked back at him, still walking, and rolled his eyes. "It'll be another two days by hoof. Ya know, mister 'I've got big fancy wings,' you don't really have to ride on the back... you can just fly on ahead, and I'll still be there in two days... if not faster, not having to haul you with your stuff."

Bass shrugged, and slapped his glasses on. "Suit yourself. I just wanted to give you some company. Well, I'll see you in two days," He said, smiling, and took off into the sky. He flew for almost an hour, enjoying the countryside as he went, then it happened. He had started to fly a bit lower, to better enjoy the smell of the fresh grass, granted, he wasn't going too fast... at least not by his standards. Then he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. It looked like a cyan blur with a rainbow following it. As he watched the spectacle in awe, he didn't watch where he was going, and flew straight into an apple tree.

Bass hit the tree with a loud thud, shaking the tree, and pressing Bass's entire body into the tree. He stayed clinging to the tree for about two seconds, then fell backward onto the ground. He looked up at the sky, and stared at the clouds as he blacked out.

It felt like a few hours that Bass was unconscious. He had the same dream he'd had every night since he'd read Rythm's diary. It was always a montage of his foalhood memories with Rythm, the times they spent on tour together, partying, and sight-seeing, then came the part that always kicked Bass right in the heart. It was just like the usual "what if?" kind of scenario. But it was one that hurt Bass right down to his core. He would walk into his house, and there would be a beautiful Steady Rythm watching over two foals, and she would trot to him, and kiss him deeply. Then Bass felt a slight nudge at his side.

"Hey, Sugarcube, you awlright?" a strange voice said. Then a much different voice rose over that. One with an almost familiar quality. One that would easily jerk Bass from his dream. It was soft, just like Rythm's. "I uh...I don't know, Applejack... It looks like he hit the tree pretty hard."

"R-... Rythm?" He said, opening his eyes, slowly, his vision slowly coming into focus. Instead of seeing the white unicorn he longed for, he saw two mares looking down at him. One an orange pony with a long blonde mane and green eyes, and the other a pale yellow mare with  a really long pink mane, and blue eyes just like Rythm's. He then saw the source of the soft voice that played cruel tricks on his mind, when the yellow pony spoke again.

"Uh... sir? Are you... alright?" The yellow pony said, looking into Bass's eyes, as he blacked out again. He woke up a few hours later in a brightly lit room. This was a huge change for him. Last time he blacked out from head trauma, he woke up in a hospital. No, this time was different. He opened his eyes, and noticed a small purple dragon with green spines on his back climbing up a ladder, with a book in hand. He then continued to look about, and noticed the open door in front of him, a purple unicorn pacing around, magically holding a book in front of her as she paced, flipping through the pages.

He slowly lifted himself up from his resting place, and walked quietly past the dragon, but as he was almost at the door, it swung open, revealing a pink earth pony with a puffed up pink mane. Only two words could have possibly ran through the pegasus's mind at that moment. Well... fuck. At just that moment, the purple unicorn turned around, spotting Bass cowering from the pink pony. "Ah, so you're finally awake. Please, take a seat." Then the unicorn used her magic to shut the door on the pink pony's face.

"So, I believe introductions are in order?" The purple unicorn said, rather nonchalant. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and the pink one is Pinkie Pie." She looked at the window, noticing Pinky bouncing around outside. "And your name?" She smiled at the white pegasus, awaiting the answer.

Bass looked around, his hooves tapping the ground nervously. "Deep Bass." He answered shyly, trying to hide the fact that he had been eyeing over Twilight from horn to hooftip.

"Oh, so you must be the one who bought the house on the edge of town. Well let me officially welcome you to Ponyville, Mr. Bass. Well, I would say I was first, but technically, I'm the fourth."

Bass looked at Twilight in confusion. "Fourth?... How?" He sat, straining to think of who else he could've met already.

Twilight giggled. "Well, first was the apple tree. Then it was my friends Applejack, and Fluttershy. They brought you to me to make sureyou didn't hurt yourself too badly, which you're lucky that you didn't. And honestly, I've never seen flutterhy so worried about anything that wasn't a sick animal."

Bass nodded silently at the pony who was kind of holding him hostage. "Well, thank you for the welcome, and for checking up on me. I'd very much like to go see my new home, however. If there's any way I can repay you, please let me know." And on that note, the white pegasus stood up on his hooves, and smiled at the unicorn, who nodded, and magically opened the door for him, as he took to flight the moment he got out the door. Not even a few econds after his hooves lifted off the ground, he was thrown back to the ground, feeling something smash into his side. "Dammit!" he yelled in agony, looking from his place on the ground at the thing that had thrown him from his flight.

"Sorry..." said a cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail, dark pink eyes, a rather tomcoltish voice, and a peculiar cutie mark. A cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt shooting from it. "I really should start watching where I'm going. Are you oka-" The pegasus stopped herself mid-sentence, her jaw dropping as she stared at the white pegasus. "No way! You're Lunar Bla-" This time she was cut off by a hoof covering her mouth, silencing her.

Bass raised his other forehoof to his mouth. "Shhh. Please... please don't tell anypony who I am. I'll do anything! Name your price."

The mare's eyes lit up. A famous Rockpony was in Ponyville. She couldn't believe it. Not to mention the fact that he was one of her favorites. She couldn't speak, but only nodded in agreement. "Can I.... can I get your autograph, sir?"

Bass nodded swiftly. "Sure. And please don't call me sir. I'm too young for that. Call me Deep Bass, please. Actually, just Bass works." He then signed a small piece of paper for the mare. "Also, you look kind of familiar... what's your name?"

The mare still couldn't believe it. Her favorite Rockpony was making small talk with her. She couldn't believe it. She giggled, and blushed. "I'm Rainbow Dash, but my friends call me Rainbow. And I saw you in concert a few weeks ago."

Bass shook his head. "No, no... that's not it. Wait a minute... Best young flier, right? Oh, yeah. That's definitely you. It's truly an honor to meet you in person. I saw your routine. Too bad that unicorn with the sparkly wings muddied it up."

Rainbow was now officially starstruck. She couldn't speak a single word. The world famous Lunar Black was honored to meet her! he couldn't believe it at all. As she started babbling to herself, trying to make out words, Bass had already slipped away, and was already on the front porch of his flat on the outskirts of Ponyville.

The pegasus had finally reached his new home, and reached out to open the door, when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He looked over at the other flat not far away, as he noticed a white unicorn with two tone blue hair, a musical note cutie mark, and a pair of dark lensed sunglasses covering her eyes. She wore a large grin, and bobbed her head as she walked into her house. "...Odd... Well, I guess that's my new neighbor... She's... actually kinda cute." Bass grinned, and walked into his new home. His obsessive compulsive side came out as he noticed that the furniture wasn't eactly to his liking. "Well, Bass. We got a lot to do, today."
