10:00 PM

Remember what I said about me being nervous? Buck it! I've never felt more nervous in my entire life!

Yes you have.

Shut up voice in my head!

Just telling the truth.

Like I said, I've never felt as nervous as I was right now. The only time I've ever felt closeto being this nervous was when I was preforming for judges at The Canterlot School of Music, which I surprisingly passed. Ah…good times.

Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. I kept telling myself. You can't fail. You absolutely cannot fail. You are Marcellio Vilo Lin, one of the greatest guitar player in history. I mentally reassured myself. You can do this. Just don't think of what could happen if you fail. All the ridicule, the laughing,…the pointing…the names.

NO! NO! NO! GET THOSE CELESTIA DAMN THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR HEAD MARCEL! YOU ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE THE GREATEST TO EVER SHRED A GUITAR!

But what if I do fail. I don't think I ca-

OH BOO HOO! YOU FAIL, SO WHAT?!

If I fail ponies wouldn't buy anything from my music store and it could go under.

Are you really worried about losing the store, or are you worried about losing something else?

Wha-What are you talking about? Of course I'm worried about losing the store! I put everything I have I to The Silent Knight.

Are you? Or are you worried about losing you-know-who?

Who?

You know, you-know-who.

Exactly, who?

YOU-KNOW-WHO!

Who are you talking about!

Celestia dammit. RARITY YOU IDIOT! I YOU FAIL, YOU MIGHT LOSE RARITY!

Rarity? How can I lose Rarity? She's my best friend. Me and her will still very friends even if I fail.

Exactly Marcel. Rarity is your friend and no matter what happens on that stage, she'll still be your friend.

I guess your right. How did you know I was afraid of losing Rarity?

You can fool everypony else Marcel, but you can't fool yourself.

"Hey Mar, you ready?"

The voice of my friend Aero snapped me out of my self conversation. I simply nodded my head and levitated the guitar strap over my shoulder and followed Aero, Crash, and Waylay to the stage.

Everypony in the crowd, even Pinkie Pie surprising, was quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the echo of our hooves against the wooden stage.

"This song is called Breathe Hope In Me." Aero said into the mic. "Okay guys, ready?"

"Ready." Crash said.

"Let's rock!" Waylay said with more confidence than I thought he had.

I just nodded my head.

"Okay Marcel," I heard him take a gulp. At least I'm not the only pony nervous. "When you're ready."

I closed my eyes and started to picture the chords in my head.

Here goes… well everything

My final thought before I started the opening notes.

Last Line Of Song

"By the wake." Aero screamed the last line into the microphone and I played the note climb to the to of my guitar, then slamming tend down at the end.

The entire crowd of ponies was…well… quieter than me. And from a mute pony, that's saying something.

"Guys," Aero whispered to us, "I don't think they liked it."

"Get off the stage!" A random mare screamed from the crowd.

Aero actually got something right? Now Waylay owes me fifty bits

Just then, a wave of 'Boo's' filled the room, and barely a second later, tomatoes were getting thrown at us.

We started to run off stage, using our instruments as shields from the flying fruit (or is it a vegetable. Ah who cares, all i know is that I'm being pelted by them).

SMASH!

Ow. It feels like I ran into a tree, but why is a tree in the lobby of the castle

My daze started to fade and I saw what I ran into wasn't a tree, but a long white leg. And when I looked up, I didn't see green leaves and branches, but the face of none other than Princess Celestia herself and she didn't look happy.
