A Survivor Turned Alicorn
Summer Sun Celebration
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe day before the Celebration in Phillydelphia in Philly Stadium....
"Both generation one and two will be on stage today. Generation one will play during the day while the second during the night until two hours before the sun will be brought up for the summer. Generation one will be on after the sun is brought up. Any questions," I said looking at the thirty six former and current members of Tapped Out.
"Yeah, which generation will you be in," one member of the third generation asked.
"I'll be with the first generation for they need me for some of the songs on the list plus the last of the songs specially need me," I said as everyone just agreed. "Okay, since everyone has the list of songs, I need generation three to get ready for today and generation two to get ready as the moon starts to come up. Anything else," I said while looking around to find that no one else had anything else to say, "Good now lets get ready for the best two days of our lives." Everyone said 'Hell yeah' in unison before generation one, two and most of generation three had left leaving only me and the two original members were left. One was a Griffin and another a Pegasus.
"This is gonna one hell of a celebration dude," said the griffin. His name is Featherclaw. His height was around average for a griffin which is six feet tall. Griffins are muscular by nature, even the females ones are stronger then an earth pony by a few points. So it wasn't surprising that he was strong, but there's one thing that stood out from him and that was family man. He would spend every chance he could get with his family, which is only his daughter Gilda. His wife died a few months ago from Esophageal cancer. Luckily there's ways for the patient to live longer thanks to Featherclaw's wife for donating her cells that had cancer. He doesn't really show his lose, but I know it hit him hard. I told him that he still had Gilda to help him through it and he knew I was right so he's trying to find someone for himself which is makes Gilda happy that he is. He's the guitarist of Tapped Out for generation one and second vocalist of generation one of Tapped Out. And man does he play a mean solo when it counts. Teatherclaw has been playing the guitar since he was in sixth grade but has been singing since he was eight years old.
"Your telling me, every year we think of new ways to get the crowd going and it works every time, despite some of those ideas being fucking stupid" The pegasus said. Her name is Nightrogue, average height of five foot six and mother to Derpy Hooves. Nightrogue has a darker fur coat on then Derpy and a night blue mane and tail. She know's how her daughter got cross eyed but all she know's of her daughters pregnancy had something to do with this so called Doctor she keeps telling her about. In fact, she doesn't really care as long as her daughter is okay and unharmed. She's been playing the drums ever since she can remember so I scouted her for that. She always thanked me whenever she could cause she loved being with the band.
"This will be our last Summer Sun Celebration together as a group before the third generation steps down for the forth, so we better make it worth their time," I said holding out my hand in a fist. The other two bumped my hand and kept it there.
"And we're going down like the American Idiots we truly are," Nightrogue said forming a tear in her right eye.
"Hey, don't get teary eyed on us yet, Nightrogue. Remember you bought a house in Ponyville like D and I did and man what a town," Featherclaw said taking his fist away. Night and I did the same before Nightrogue hit him on the shoulder.
"I know, I just promised myself I wouldn't cry until after the show," Night said wiping the tear away.
"Wimp," Featherclaw said looking at Nightrogue.
"Says the man that smothers her daughter with just about anything she want's," Said Nightrogue looking back.
"Will you two love birds knock it off already," I said to the two trying to hold back a laugh.
"We're not love birds," they both said in unison before I just laughed my ass off and they blushed considerably at the joke I pulled off.
"Great grandpa," a familiar voice called out then I looked around to the source to find Applebloom come running to me in the dress I made for her a few days ago. The dress matched her mane and fur. She ran past both Nightrogue and Featherclaw then hugged me while I hugged and picked her up. I then put one arm under her thighs while Applebloom wrapped her arms around my neck. "Thank you for the clothes you got me," Applebloom said in the cutest southern accent she had.
"Her voice reminds me of the people back during our time," Nightrogue said giggling a little.
"Now ain't she the cutest thing I had ever seen," Featherclaw said while looking at Applebloom.
Applebloom looked at the Griffin and Pegasus with confused looks. "The griffin is Razorclaw and the pegasus is Nightrogue," I said looking down at Applebloom.
No. Bucking. Way.," Someone said behind from behind me. I looked behind to see Rainbow Dash before she said, "Razorclaw and Nightrogue, the two that help start a music revolution." The other five of the mane six came running from behind her.
"But where's the third one that helped out," Fluttershy said hiding behind Applejack.
I just smirked before saying, "you just have to find out at the end of the show." Applejack just facepalmed at what I said knowing the secret and what her family had help to make was part of it.

After the little get together and nearly all day and night of partying, it was time for Celestia to raise the sun and Luna to lower the moon. After that it was time for the last concert of the celebration and of the first generation of Tapped Out. I came out with Razorclaw and two other males. The crowd went mad at the sight of Razorclaw and I. All four of us were once human and part of the same group of survivors. All four of us went up to the microphone with Razorclaw and I in the center.
The one to my left is named Acelin Ancart, yes, he is from France but is fluent in English. He lived near the city of Cantorlot when I found him and of course his dream was to be in a band. Alicen is a unicorn with a height of five foot eight and is still able to pack a punch if needed, considering his age. He was wearing sky blue jeans with his personal styled shoes. He had a tank top with a fedora on.
The one to Razorclaw's right is named Duke Mustang, an Earth Pony. His height is five foot eleven and muscular yet really into fashion for some odd reason. Which was a major hint that he was gay, which he's proud of it. Loved playing the guitar as a hobby when he wasn't doing something with fashion which saved us money to spend on other things for the band.
All four of us have the same clothes as Acelin on while standing in front of the microphone except I had my hood up with a mask around my eyes and the pattern on my nose was darkened to a lite grey. No one knows that I'm the third original member of Tapped Out yet until later on in the show. All four of us cleared our throats and started singing:
Razorclaw sang the first verse while Duke sang the second and I had sang the third verse of the song. All of us sang like we meant it, which we did. The song made a few members of the audience cry a little from remembering the lose of loved ones. After the song, the crowd cheered for us as Duke and I went backstage which is void of anyone with backstage passes for the moment except for generation one and crew.
I took off the sweater jacket and changed up for the next time I'll be on stage which is in about thirty minutes. The shirt I'm wearing is a Hawaiian shirt. I'm also wearing shorts and the same shoes as before. During the thirty minutes, I've been talking to a few band mates until I was called up. "Well, talk to you later guys," I said as I went to the stage. I went onto the stage and a roar of cheers was heard. I went over to an electric guitar and picked it up. I put the strap around my neck and started to play the intro to Into the night. The crowd just screamed as Acelin started to sing the song:
Everyone in the crowd was dancing to the song. After the song ended, the crowd just screamed as Diamond Miter came out to replace Acelin to sing. Diamond and Acelin are twins. Of course the fur is different. As Diamond went to the microphone, I started playing the start of the song which is Smooth:
The crowd was dancing to the song again and man was it crazy. Luckily I found my herd and everyone else I know near the front row near the beginning of the song. After that song, it was another half an hour before I went out again. I was wearing casual clothing like I do after Smooth is done.
As music started to play, I started to teleport out to the microphone until which the crowd could see light by until it became a faster passed then started to sing.
After the song I went backstage with some of the band then switched my outfit to more laid back look with a stetson cowboy hat. I came back out as the song started:
then this song soon after: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=24ip4BJM00I&NR=1]
After the song Razorclaw came out with two guitars, both custom made, and handed one to me. The music started to play again:
I went backstage then I looked at the clock to see that we're ahead of schedule by six minutes which would put the clock at nine fifty four. I wouldn't be singing for another hour and a half so I just waited until then. During the wait, I changed into the clothes I had when I first sang.
An hour and a half later....
Razerclaw and NIghtrogue are already out and waiting for me, so I went out as the song started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpYMEtNMVW4 About a minute into the song, I took off the mask and sweater jacket as I jumped as an electric guitar appeared on me as I played. In replace of Tokyo, Equestria is said. The crowd went wild at the start of the song and after I revealed myself as the third member and man did they went wild. During the start of the singing, I sang in a deep voice and slowly started to go to my lighter more recognized voice. My voice sounds like Billy Joe Armstrong and Johnny Depp put together.
After the song is finished, went to the next song:
and man did the crowd love it. That song ended with the next one starting which made everyone in the crowd knew what it was:
The next song, instead of England, Equestria was said:
This next song got everyone hyped up:
Everypony knows that this is the third to last song that me and the other two will play for the day. Even the other band members know as well.
At the end of the song, four american flags drop down vertically on either side of two slim machines. The crowd just went insane at the sight of the flags and the start of the song:
Slim started to appear at the same time as the video covering not only me, Nightrogue and Razerclaw, but there was also slim machines in the crowd that was covering them as well. The crowd just loved what happened knowing what had this all ment.
I got a normal guitar and seated like the video and started playing:
After the song, the slim was cleaned up which took a half an hour to do so considering how thing the slim was on the stage but took a little while longer for the crowd to clean up a little. After that, the rest of generation one of Tapped Out sang for the rest of the day.
