Eighth Note: Rock n' Roll

Oh hey there! I'm Eighth Note, a rocking, guitar playing pegasus!

I'm not really the type of pegasus you would see flying around normally at Cloudsdale or Ponyville. You see, I'm a little off the edge most of the time. Whenever I'm out, I always go at a rather fast rate due to my hyperactivity. Most of the time, everypony doesn't mind, but at other times, there are a few ponies that I'll drive to the point of insanity.

If I'm not out bouncing off the walls, I'm either rocking it out with my band, The Flying Saucer, at concerts, or at home or a friend's house winning and loosing at video games. There are even times where I'm just too lazy to do anything at all. If that's the case, then my friend and rival, Rainbow Dash, has to shove me around to be productive. My Celestia, she's like my mom at times.

Rainbow Dash and I were great friends since we were fillies. We were always racing around Cloudsdale and the outskirts of Ponyville, and I always lost. Someday though, I will beat her..... someday. We were always teasing each other as well, though I had to be careful with what I say. One time, I teased her about how her head looked like a rat's nest in the morning. I wasn't able to look straight for the next three hours. She can scare me at times, and I feel weak when she does. It's sad, I know.

Despite all the racing competitions I have with my rainbow-maned friend, I'm not really one for sports. I've tried it before, like in wrestling at Flight School (I'm not really sure why they have that sport at a FLYING school). Although I did get a gold medal in one tournament, I vowed to never join the wrestling team again as long as I had air in my lungs. It was just too awkward for me.

Now about my band. Like I've mention a minute ago, my band is called The Flying Saucer. It's pretty funny how it all started. It was a few years back when I was a Junior at Flight School. I was always inspired by the other band groups that went to my school. Since I knew how to play guitar back then, I figured maybe I could form a rock band myself. So later after school was out, I flew down to the music center at Ponyville and posted some flyers that said I was looking for a singer, a bassist, and a drummer. A few days later, I got a knock on my door.

When I opened the door, I thought, Oh crap...

As you may guess, it was High Pitch. You see, High and I didn't get along well in 8th grade, and Freshman, Sophomore, and half of Junior year we never talked to each other. And here he was, at my door, after years of silence. I wondered what he was here for. Was he gonna apologize for making bad times between us? Was he here to start causing trouble again? Or maybe....

"You were looking for a singer?" High Pitch simply asked.

This guy wanted to be my singer? I thought. I was kind of surprised by this. I wonder how I caught his interest?

"Er, yeah," I replied awkwardly, "You can sing?"

I'll be honest, I never knew he could sing. He blew me away when he demonstrated. It was amazing! It was like Princess Celestia had enhanced his voice using some sort of 'voice enhancing' spell.

I told him that I needed a bassist and a drummer now. To my relief, High Pitch had a friend that played the bass-guitar, and he could ask him if he wanted to join us. Finding the drummer wasn't really difficult either, since I knew this drum player at Flight School. I went over and asked him if he wanted to join our band the next day. He gladly accepted the offer.

Don't ask us how we came up with the band name 'The Flying Saucer'. The history behind that is too shmucked up to repeat.

All this in my life combined makes me feel complete, sort of. There are still, many, many things out there in Equestria that I feel the need to fulfill. I've never performed with my band anywhere else but Ponyville or Cloudsdale. It was starting to get really boring, even though we had many fans out there in those areas.

I guess one day, somepony will come up to me with some message saying that my band is invited to play at Canterlot or so-- Oh, hold on. This one messenger pegasus wants to talk to me...
