All in the Name of... Tickets!

Prologue

All in the name of... Tickets!

As the sun rises in the eastern sky, morning creeps up on the town of Ponyville. While every pony wakes up for the day, Rainbow Dash is already outside working on clearing clouds across the skyline by ether moving or kicking them out of sight. As she works, usually nothing from the ground catches her attention at the early hours. However today is different, for she couldn’t help but notice a brown pony, dressed in black be-dazzled leather, putting up a poster at Town Hall.

Flying down to confront the pony about the fact that posters cannot be displayed in Ponyville without a permit, Rainbow Dash softly lands on the ground and takes a glimpse at the colorful poster being presented. She immediately gets excited as she reads:

COMING THIS FALL!

THE CANTERLOT HALL

PROUDLY PRESENTS…

THE GREATEST ROCK’N ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD

PÖNY CRÜE

PERFORMING LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN EQUESTRA!

ALL THE HITS!

ALL THE SPECTACLES!

ALL THE HAIR!!!

Shouting in hysteria, “Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!” Rainbow Dash flies off and performs a couple of aerial loops while beaming with thoughts of her favorite band performing in Equestria. However as she sets herself down to Earth, all those dreams of her seeing them live gets shoved aside as she reads, “One Ticket for Admission: 200 Bits.”

“TWO-HUNDRED BITS PER TICKET!?!” Rainbow Dash shouts, “Uuuuggggg!!!!”

She smacks her face.
