Primus Goes to Ponyvilleby Z-A-CChaptersRainbow Is A Hardcore FlyerShake Hooves With PinksMac The ArbormanRainbow Is A Hardcore FlyerRainbow Is a hardcore Flyer. The band arrived in Ponyville an hour ago. They've spent sometime looking around the town, trying to find something to inspire a re-write. But found nothing. Although, in the hour they've been in town Les managed to convince the mayor to get a stage set up. Which is being built right now and, according to one of the construction ponies, will be up in a half hour. So they just sit there with a stack of song lyrics on paper. Les rubbed his temples. "I'm going out to check on the stage. You guys want to come with me?" Larry looked up from the paper. "Sure" And Jay nodded. Les turned and walked out of the door with his band-mates following. They had a small discussion on where to double check first. Jay suggested they re-write the songs so it sounds like it directed a little toward well known ponies. The other two nodded and went to the library they saw earlier. Surely the librarian would know something. Right? Les knocked on the door like he'd seen a pony do when they were looking around. After a couple minutes, the door opened revealing a lavender colored mare. "Oh, hello." She said hesitatingly. "How may I help you... kind Sirs today?" "We were wondering if you had any books on well known ponies." Jay said. She held a hoof to her chin. "Hmm... I have books on historical ponies but nothing more modern than that." She invited them in and offered for them to sit down, which the did. "May I ask why?" "We're a band." Les started. "We are looking for way to make our songs more relate-able. Do you have any stories about more modern well known ponies. Or something like that?" "Oh I certainly do. This one day..." "We have to see it." Larry stated. "If half these stories are true and they live in town, then we have to see them." The other band-mates agreed. The librarian chuckled. "Well knowing Rainbow, She'll be glad to show off." She then realized something. "Oh! I'm so sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle." "Nice to meet you. I'm Les Claypool." "Larry LaLonde" "Jay Lane." "Nice meet all of you. Now where is she?" After a few minutes of searching she finally decided to call for her. "Rainbow Dash! Where are you?!" The band jumped back from her sudden yelling and off in the distance they saw a rainbow contrail, that got closer by the second. And soon stopped with a cyan blue pegasus. "Hey whats up, Twi?" "Oh Rainbow there you are. These three gentlemen want to see you flying skill so they can write a song about it." Rainbow suddenly shook with excitement, but regained her cool within........a second or two. "Yeah, that's pretty cool. Alright boys, don't blink!" She stretched and took off. She did loop-de-loops, barrel-rolls, and some of her own custom tricks. And finished it off with a Sonic Rainboom. The bands jaws dropped, and Jay looked at Les. "I think we found our first re-write." Les and Larry nodded. The stage was set and sound check has been done. The Mane six (as they're known) are in attendance, as well as most of the town. Primus of course is used to this. Les and Larry strapped on they're guitars as Jay got behind his drum set. Les went up to the microphone and spoke. "Hello Ponyville. Thank you all for coming out. It's been awhile since we had a more intimate show like this. So we'll enjoy this as much as you will. We are Primus, and we will be doing one song a day for ten days." There were confused murmurs in the crowd. "A bit nontraditional, but we need time to re-write our songs. But without further hesitation we will start with our first of ten." Jay started playing the drums. "With our first song. 'Rainbow Is a Hardcore Flyer'." There were a few cheers as Larry and Les started to play Rainbow is a hardcore flyer, she flew so god damned fast. She barely did lose those checkered flags but never did come in last. Rainbow is a hardcore flyer, She'd say "I'm the fastest one" With a Celestia sticker on her flyer's goggles, she'd light 'em up just for fun. Ahhh. Ahhh. Twilight is a librarian, works at Golden Oaks Li-bra-ry. I'll be a wealthy man when I get a dime for all the things that mare taught to me. Applejack is a strong mare, strong as any mare alive. It seems that her, her friends and fam-il-y are happy just to be alive. Ahhh. Ahhh. GO! He He He. Dog will hunt. Rainbow is a hardcore flyer, 22 years old (?). One too many tough tricks one night and found herself trapped in a hospit-al, go. And as the song played its end, the ponies started to cheer. They found themselves mostly liking this weird new music. "Thank you. We're happy you enjoyed it. There is a suggestion box in front of the stage, in case you have a well known pony in mind. Come back around this time tomorrow for our next song. Oh, and feel free to see us later, if you want." They all put their instruments away and walked off stage. Les looked at his band-mates. "Well I think it went fairly well." Jay nodded but Larry looked unsure. Rainbow flew up to them, followed by Twilight and Applejack. "That was so AWESOME!" "Ah wasn't expectin' y'all to mention me." Applejack chimed in. "Nor was I." Twilight chimed in as well. Larry shrugged. "Well, we thought a small shout out to the pony that helped us would be a nice touch. And Applejack was the only one we could think for that part." "Well Ah thank ya. I gotta go see y'all tomorrow!" She said as trotted off. "That was a rather...interesting show." The band heard from behind them. They turned around and saw a white mare with a purple. "Thanks?" Jay said. They saw the pink mare known as Pinkie take a deep breath and.... Well we all know what happens then, right? Author's Note The suggestion box is also known as the comment section. If you have a well known pony in mind, write a comment and I will see if I can work with it. Please don't let this die! Shake Hooves With PinksShake Hooves With Pinks After the encounter with the hyper pink mare last night, Les has been on an inspired re-writing spree. Well for one or two songs at least. The first song he finished was going to be the one for tonight. And was the one that was inspired by Pinkie. He decided to put of finishing the second song to practice getting used to the change in the words. He turned to his band-mates, that were leafing through the papers. "How about some practice?" Larry shrugged. "Sure" Jay nodded, even though had only had the drum set that was on stage. Jay grabbed his drumsticks. "So which song are we going to rehearse?" "The one for tonight, you'll know it." Les smiled and began to play. Since he was playing on an electric bass it was hard to hear. Same goes for Larry, except he had a guitar. Jay instantly picked up on what the song was and began to drum on the table. They had to stop a few time, due to the word changes screwing with them. It wasn't hard but it wasn't easy. But hey, that's what practice is about. After half an hour of practice they decided to take a break and go into town. When Larry opened the door, they were met with a familiar sight. While they didn't mind cameras, these were old fashioned ones. With no option to turn the flash off. Larry shut the door to get a break from the onslaught of flashing cameras. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the other. Jay was laughing and Les was shaking his head. Larry opened the door, now ready for the flashing lights, and the trio walked out. Many ponies ask questions and raised a hoof, but it was hard to make out any one of the question. After a minute or so, a pony walked up to them and for an unknown reason the paparazzi went quiet. The pony was a white coated, two-toned blue maned mare with a beamed eighth note tattoo on her butt. "Yo, what up? The name's Vinyl Scratch. I just wanted to tell you good show last night. I've never heard like it." Les smiled. "Neither have many people in our world. And thanks, I'm glad you liked it." "Not a problem! Always glad to see more musicians in town. Well gotta run. See ya later!" And she trotted off. After a brief walk around town, trying to avoid more cameras and Pinkie Pie, they went back to practicing. It came a lot easier after their break, and Les said that he thinks their ready. The only problem now, was that it wasn't time to premier the song yet. So they went back trying to re-write the second song they were working on. After an hour of re-writing, they went over the song again to smooth over any errors they might make. They wouldn't sweat it if they did make any, but it was still nice to minimize that risk. Jay checked the time and saw it was fifteen til they were on. He nodded toward the clock and got up. The others did the same, and made for the door. The band looked over towards the stage and saw a small crowd, about the same size of last night's, forming. Les and Jay smiled, and the band made their way over to the stage. After a sound check, Les adjusted his mic and spoke. "Hello again, how are you all?" Cheers sounded out from the crowd. "That's good to hear! We had to think long and hard about this next song but I think you'll like it." He played a little ditty on his bass and looked at his band-mate. "So shall we?" The crowd cheered and his the two nodded. And so, they began to play. There's no time for lies, tell her the truth. I say, eye for an eye, eye for a hoof. Seems nice. When she was young, she'd scavenge around. Every nook and cranny, of this little town. Seems nice, so nice, to be. Roll out the cannon boys, it's party time. Puff Equestrian Smalls, shake hooves with Pinks! She's so shy and she's so sweet. Mom and Pop they raised her, on a cloudy heap. She's shy. A mare of nine, scooter derby day. She'll grab her two best friends then, then it's time to play. Seems nice, so nice, to be. Roll out the cannon boys, it's party time. Puff Equestrian Smalls, shake hooves with Pinks! Roll out the cannon boys, it's party time. Puff Equestrian Smalls, shake hooves with Pinks! [guitar solo] Roll out the cannon boys, it's party time. Puff Equestrian Smalls, shake hooves with Pinks! Roll out the cannon boys, it's party time. Puff Equestrian Smalls, shake hooves with Pinks! There were cheers once more, but the attention was more focused on the vibrating pink mare in the front row. Sadly for Les, he noticed a little late. Pinkie sprang up from her spot in the audience, and slammed into him. Sending his bass flying. Les just laid there, watching his instrument fall and thinking unhappy thoughts. When all of a sudden it was wrapped in a purple force field. Confused but happy the bass was no longer flying, he sighed in relief and looked at the pink mare again. She watched the bass as it was flying and knew she was the reason it did that. She looked at Les with a sorry look on her face. "I'm sorry!" Cried Pinkie. "I didn't know that would happen!" Les patted her on the head. "Don't worry about." He looked at the bass, that was now in it's stand. "But who saved it? And how?" Pinkie went back to normal. "Oh that was Twilight! She used her magic." She stated like it was an everyday occurrence. "Magic?" Asked Larry. "Yep" Said the purple mare in question, emerging from the crowd. "Okay?..." Larry put his guitar in its stand, and Pinkie got off of Les. It had been another good show. For the most part. Author's Note Ponies featured in this song: Pinkie Pie Fluttershy Scootaloo Mac The ArbormanThe band has been busy re-writing their songs, and now it was time to pick one. Larry handed Les a sheet of paper. "What about this one?" Les looked it over and shook his head. "That one needs to be re-done." Les looked over the songs they've been working on. He gave a sigh. "How about we get some fresh air?" The other two agreed and they left. It was a sunny day, and far too early for them to play. Which was a good thing since they don't have any songs picked yet. "Sweet Apple Acres?" Jay asked. The other two looked over his shoulder to see a sign. "Should we check it out?" "I think that's where Applejack lives." Larry said. Les nodded his head. "Yep, let's go." The three turned towards where the sign pointed, and began walking. As they passed by the townponies, they were greeted and praised on their performance last night. Les waved back while the other two just kept walking. That was okay, as the ponies just shrugged it off. It wasn't long before they reached their destination, and Applejack greeted them as they walked up the path. "Howdy!" Said Applejack. "What brings y'all around these parts?" "We're a little stuck on our next song." Answered Larry. "We were hoping to find something to help us with it." "And ya came here? Ah'm not sure if you'll find anything, but feel free to look." "Thanks Applejack." Said Les. "Not a problem Sugar-cube! Ah gotta get back to work, take as long as ya need." And she walked off. "Should we split up?" Asked Jay. Les shook his head. "No, I think I hear something off in this direction." He said pointing to the left. They others shrugged and followed him. After fifteen minutes of walking, they found what Les heard. It was a big red pony, bucking a tree. Les looked at the others and said. "I think I know what song we can re-write." They gave him a questioning look. "But I want to check something real quick." Les began walking toward the red pony, who spotted him and stopped working. "Excuse me, sir?" Jay said as they drew nearer. The pony said nothing and stared at them. "You wouldn't happen to be Big Mac Would you?" Les asked. "Eeyup." Was Mac's only response. "Would you mind If we asked a few questions?" Big Mac tilted his head in thought. "Nnope, what do ya want to know?" They finished the song and are now doing their sound check. After everything sounded right, and they were ready to play, Les addressed the crowd that had formed. "Hello again Ponyville! How are you tonight?" He was met with cheers. "That's good to hear. Now, we're not to sure about this one, but I'm sure you will all like it!" Les gave Jay the queue, and the song started. One, two... When he was young you'd not find him doing well in school, His mind would turn unto the Acres. No often the focus of foal's ridicule, He has no time for stallion's daughters. Alienated from the clique society, A silent colt finds peace in farming. His Granny says "Mac, this is not the way life's supposed to be." "Don't you see the life that you are missing?" And he says... When I grow up I want to be, One of the harvesters of the tree. I think before my days are done, I want to be a Arbor-man. Now years gone by we find a colt that runs a farm. He sets out dark every morning . To bring his harvest back to this small community. He didn't see the danger dawning. Four hours up, oh the clouds swelled and swelled, The fog rolled in it started raining. "The eastern side." "Oh my God the barn is burning down!" The do not hear his frantic mayday. And he says When I grow up I want to be, one of the harvesters of the tree. I think before my days are done, I want to be a arbor-man. "I'll live and die like my dad has done!" Calling Mac the Arbor-man! Calling Mac the Arbor-man! Calling Mac the Arbor-man! And the song ended. There was cheering as well as some who had mixed feelings about it. "I hope you liked it, even if it wasn't our best. Thank you again Ponyville! We will see you all tomorrow!" The band jammed a bit as the crowd thinned out. After there were just a few ponies left, they put down their instruments and left the stage. They found Big Mac and Applejack waiting for them backstage. Les was unsure about the reactions they were going to get. "Hello you two." Les greeted. "Howdy." Applejack said. "Ah'll be honest, Ah didn't expect you to write one about my brother." "I hope that's not a problem..." Larry said with an unsure tone. "Nnope." Big mac said. "Ah actually found it funny." Les gave a sigh of relief. "And it was nice of ya to mention our pa." "That was part I wasn't sure about. But I'm relieved that you two liked it." "Eeyup." Mac said as he turned to leave. "Be seeing you fellas around." "Yeah, we better get going. we just wanted to talk to you after the show." She turned to leave. "See y'all tomorrow!" She said as she left. They waved and started walking back to where they were staying. "What do you think they would have done if they didn't like it?" Jay asked. "I'm not sure." Les answered. "And I'm glad we didn't find out." Larry also responded. Author's Note Ponies mentioned in this one: Big Mac. Granny Smith. Big mac and Applejack's father. Not sure about how this one turned out, but here you guys go. Hope you enjoyed it!

There was cheering as well as some who had mixed feelings about it. "I hope you liked it, even if it wasn't our best. Thank you again Ponyville! We will see you all tomorrow!" The band jammed a bit as the crowd thinned out. After there were just a few ponies left, they put down their instruments and left the stage. They found Big Mac and Applejack waiting for them backstage. Les was unsure about the reactions they were going to get. "Hello you two." Les greeted. "Howdy." Applejack said. "Ah'll be honest, Ah didn't expect you to write one about my brother." "I hope that's not a problem..." Larry said with an unsure tone. "Nnope." Big mac said. "Ah actually found it funny." Les gave a sigh of relief. "And it was nice of ya to mention our pa." "That was part I wasn't sure about. But I'm relieved that you two liked it." "Eeyup." Mac said as he turned to leave. "Be seeing you fellas around." "Yeah, we better get going. we just wanted to talk to you after the show." She turned to leave. "See y'all tomorrow!" She said as she left. They waved and started walking back to where they were staying. "What do you think they would have done if they didn't like it?" Jay asked. "I'm not sure." Les answered. "And I'm glad we didn't find out." Larry also responded. Author's Note Ponies mentioned in this one: Big Mac. Granny Smith. Big mac and Applejack's father. Not sure about how this one turned out, but here you guys go. Hope you enjoyed it!
