The Legend of Dean Fender: the Greatest Guitar Player in Equestria
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterI woke up to see what appeared to be Pinkie Pie staring at me and I also appeared to be in the middle of a street. I asked her "where am I?" Then to my surprise she replied "you're in ponyville silly! I don't think I've ever seen you before so I'm going to do what I do for any new pony to ponyville and throw you a party!" Then I realized why the street looked so familiar. I had somehow ended up in the middle of ponyville! She started running away when I remembered that she had said that I'm a pony. I shouted "wait I'm not a pony, am I?" She replied "of course you are silly!" before trotting away.
I stood up and looked down and to my surprise, I had hooves! This was incredible! And I still didn't know how I had ended up here! My body was a shade of tan and then I noticed my tail and mane. I had a dark brown tail and mane and both were extremely long just like the hair of an 80s rock star. It was I nice touch considering the type of music I liked and played. I looked back and saw that I had wings. I couldn't believe that I was a pegasus! I then felt my ears and noticed that they came to a point like an arrowhead. And then I noticed something unusual. I felt a horn on my forehead. I was not a pegasus; I was a alicorn! I thought that only a princess could be an alicorn but I was wrong. I looked at my flank and saw my cutie mark. It was a master of puppets signature dean guitar. I knew that guitar and heavy metal would probably be my special talent.
I went to sugarcube corner hoping to find pinkie pie but when I showed up, I saw her party cannon go off and all of the ponies in town yell "surprise!" I knew that it was coming because Pinkie Pie told me about it when I first saw her but I pretended to act surprised. The first thing that they asked me was "What is your name?" I had to come up with a name quickly because pony names are different than human names. I thought about different names I could use. Then I thought of my two favorite guitar brands. I said "my name is Dean Fender."
The party was incredible! I hadn't had that much fun in a while and I got to talk to a lot of the ponies. Most of them asked me where I was from but since it would be hard to explain to them, I just said that I was from Manehattan. Of course Rarity went on a rant about the sophistication and fashion there and almost fainted. Another thing that a lot of them noticed and asked me about was the fact that I was an alicorn. I had absolutely no idea why I was one and didn't think that I'd ever find out why. All I said was "My father was a unicorn and my mother was a pegasus so I just got lucky." Surprisingly, they all bought it and never questioned me again.
After the party, I decided to take a look around ponyville and possibly look for a music shop because I knew that they had instruments and I figured that they might have guitars. I looked around and got lucky when I found a music shop about a block away. I went inside and said that I was looking for a guitar. The shop owner responded "what type of guitar do you want?" I said "I'm not sure; some type of electric guitar." Then something I hadn't thought of occurred to me. How was I going to hold the pick and push down the frets?
He handed me a typical guitar and amp except they didn't have brands such as Fender, Gibson, Jackson, or Dean. When I got the guitar there was actually a device that went around my hoof allowing me to hold the pick and the strings were unbelievebly close to the neck making it possible to play. I plugged in the amp and started playing but I noticed something. The guitar was a Flying V shape and it was as if it was made for metal, but there was no distortion. It turns out that guitars here were obsolete and it was as if the generations of music went from 50s to 60s and then all the way to the 2000s. I knew that there was 2000s music because I had heard dubstep from Vinyl Scratch. The shop owner said "if you want that guitar it's 1500 bits." I ignored him and decided to get distortion the only way I could; turn the amp all the way up. I started shredding and playing an amazing guitar solo. The owner was so dumbfounded that he let me go with the guitar, amp, and pick for free because he felt like that I had a unique way of playing guitar since none of the ponies had ever heard distortion or much less heavy metal. Before leaving, I asked the shop owner "do you know of any bands that are looking for a guitarist or singer?" He said "I don't know, you will have to talk to the only two musicians in town." Before I knew it I was on my way to Vinyl and Octavia's house.
