The Last Concert

Disclaimer: I do not own anything trademarked, at all. Also, i don't know them personally, so i'm gonna kinda make their personalities up as i go along.

Chapter 1: The Last Concert

It had been a warm day a the Rushock Parish, and Robert had organized one last concert, for family, friends, and for the poor orphanage down the street to fundraise. John Bohnam would be proud of him, Jimmy, and John organizing this whole thing for him after all these years, God bless his soul. He had been just about to start playing the last song, when they stopped to say some encouraging words.

"I welcomed all of you here today, so that we may bless Johnny, wherever he may be, that he may live peacefully." Robert said in a mournful tone,"I really hope they have booze where he went, or else he'll be pissed!" Jimmy joked, while John and Robert glared at him."I hope he found a place to rock out wherever he went. Who knows? He might be playing for God right now." John hoped openly.

"I seriously doubt that, John, but who knows?" Robert grinned at John,"Well, lets get this last song started, FOR JOHN!" Robert cheered, while the rest of the band picked up their instruments, with John picking up his Acoustic guitar,and Jimmy, his double-necked Heritage Cherry Gibson EDS-1275 guitar.

o/`"There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed,
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven."

"There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure,
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misleading.
Ooh, it makes me wonder!
Ooh, it makes me wonder." Jimmy had looked up and noticed the rather large star in the night sky, but he only paid it no mind. Instead his slightly buzzed brain only thought that line from Fool in the Rain.

"There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
and it makes me wonder,
really makes me wonder."

"And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn, for those who stand long,
And the forest will echo with laughter."

"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean from the May Queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, Ooh, it makes me wonder!" John had noticed this strange occurrence also, but in a slightly larger form, as if it was coming towards him.

"Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can't you hear the wind blow, and did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind." John had stopped playing and started staring at the enlarging form.

"And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show,
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last,
When all is one and one is all, yeah.
To be a rock and not to roll!" Jimmy finally realized this was no drunken hallucination and stopped playing. He simply froze in fear.

"And she's buying the stairway to-!"o/`

Robert, who had now stopped singing, was awestruck by the giant star coming closer out of the sky. The crowd looked around in confusion, only to not notice the so-called star at all.

As the star grew to the size of the moon, Jimmy finally managed a bit of an "eep!" and managed to run under the makeshift stage. The others simply took off in either direction, their aged bodies running as if in their forties. As it grew in size, Robert just stopped running and muttered,"I'm comin', John Bonham, I'm coming." He calmly stared at the star, opened his arms wide, and smiled.

It was a sunny day in Heaven, as always, and God had requested a personal playing from the most popular group of musicians in Heaven. The aforementioned group, which had all been previously extremely famous on earth during life, were George Harrison, Jimmy Hendrix, Syd Barrett, and John Bonham.

After their last song, John had spoken up about their "rewards" that they had been promised by God for playing in front of him,"God, What are the so-called 'rewards' that you promised to give us?"

Wonderful playing i might say, and as for your rewards? I can't tell you.

Jimmy used his pinky finger to clean out his ears."I will never get used to the whole omnipresent voice thing. Ever. And WHY CAN"T WE KNOW?!?!?"

Don't explode there, Jimmy, but i will tell you a few things.

John spoke up again while sitting back down in his stool, careful not to sit on his wings, knowing that from experience."So, God, What are you willing to tell us?"

You will all be sent on an adventure, and all of your pre-death main band members will come with you. Although, All of you will be sent to different worlds than before your death due to the fact you are all dead there.

The inside of John's mind exploded with happiness, due to being able to see his best friends again,"Really?! God, I may never have said it before my death, but I love you."

It's perfectly fine. I already arranged plans with the divine powers of those worlds to make sure you are going to be fine. Now, do you all accept?

Everyone at the meeting yelled a simultaneous "YES!" and impatiently waited for something to happen.

You all accepted, so you will be going now. You will not remember anything of this conversation when you get there. Ready?

They all violently nodded their heads, with some of them raising an eyebrow at the last statement. Before anyone could question it, there was a bright flash and several humorous laughs of divine gods.

Princess Celestia had been having a wonderful day, ever since last night's Divine Powers meeting and God proposed a plan for some mortals to be sent to different dimensions for their amusement. She personally thought it would be hilarious and extremely good for research, but, the one thing she hadn't thought of yet was a way for them to get here. God was going to send them here, but all the Divines that agreed needed an 'alibi' for how they got here.

She was about to give up when she had the perfect idea, involving her personal student, Twilight Sparkle. She would send her an old spellbook to examine, and have her try the spell within. The Princess took out an old-looking tome from the back of one of her cupboards, coughing at the amount of dust on it.

She quickly wrote some runic transcriptions describing the spell, and some information on the spell in the next page, careful not to write in her handwriting, lest her student figure it out.

Whilst she was writing the letter to her student telling her what to do with the tome, she was interrupted by none other than her sister, Princess Luna. Luna trotted over to her frantic and slightly nervous sister.

"Sister,why are you so frantic?" Luna asked suspiciously,"I haven't seen you this frantic since you accidentally sent pictures of your unmentionables to the Gryphon King instead of that stallion you were seeing."

Celestia visibly shuddered thinking about the memory."Luna, didn't i tell you never to mention that!?!? I still have him brooding over me like i'm a supermodel." Celestia sighed,"And as for what I'm doing, we're going to have visitors, so I'm making preparations."

"Celestia, what kind of visitors?" Luna asked, now very curious about the visitors. She knew her sister well enough that her little 'Divine' club was up to some shenanigans; last time, they sent some hero here from a different dimension.

"You can read me like a book, sister; we're going to have some Human visitors." Celestia replied with a grin. She used a spell to send Twilight Sparkle her spell tome and message, when really, all the spell was going to do is draw the humans to her when they get transported.

-Ponyville, Twilight's Laboratory-

Twilight Sparkle had no previous plans today, so she was leisurely lying on a couch reading the latest Daring Do novel. Her #1 assistant Spike was sleeping soundly upstairs in his small bed. She was suddenly scared out of her wits as a giant burp rung through the library.

Spike was walking downstairs with an annoyed look and he was holding a large book and a scroll. "Twilight, can you remind the Princess to not send letters after 8:00? It's really annoying." Twilight glared at him,"Spike! This is the Princess we're talking about! She can do what she wants. Now, let me see what this is."

Twilight opened the sun-crested closer on the scroll and read:

My Dearest Twilight Sparkle,

I have come into possession of this tome, which i believe to hold some ancient magic or a hex. I require you to study it, research it, and if possible, test it. This could be imperative to our research.

Sincerely,
Princess Celestia

Twilight had a grin plaster her face the minute she finished the letter, rereading it several times to make sure she was not mistaken. "I got a personal research project from Princess Celestia!?!? AWESOME!" Twilight cheered. "Spike, go to bed, I've got a book to read."

Congratz to me for finally getting the guts to make this! I have no prereaders, and i think i did well.
