Gods of death, darkness and picking up chicks

Prolouge part2

Rainbow Dash was recovering after a failed stunt.

"Sweet molestias mane that hurt" she groaned as she got back to her hooves.

She had been practicing on a stunt that only one pony had ever successfully performed.

It was way tougher than the sonic rainboom, it was called: “the fire road".

It was only possible to enter it after a sonic rainboom.

She knew the pony that performed it, it was Jaden.

Rainbow had tried to perform it before, but given up.

However, after she had won the race between them, she knew she could do it.

She just had to practice harder.

"Maybe I should try it again after a nap" Rainbow said, with a yawn, and took off towards a cloud.

Just when she landed on the cloud, she saw that Jaden was heading out of town.

"Oh no, what have we done now?" Rainbow asked herself in panic and took off towards Jaden.

"Hey Jaden, where are you going? She screamed towards him.

"Oh hi Rainbow" Jaden said, with a smile, as he turned towards her" I'm off to Fillydelphia"

“Whatever the citizens in Ponyville have done, they didn't mean it" Rainbow said as she tried to make her friend stay. “Please don't leave"

Jaden was confused at this point, but then he realized what it looked like.

He broke out in a chuckle.

"Aha, now I get it" Jaden chuckled" Don't worry, I'm not going leave, I'm just one of the musical artists on the gala"

This threw Rainbow off her guard.

"Gala?" She asked him dumbfounded.

"Yeah: The grand galloping gala. I'm going to assist Vinyl on and off stage." Jaden said and nodded towards Ponyville." Spike got the tickets for all of you, just ask him for yours"

Now Rainbow understood, as a sigh of relief exited her mouth.

"Besides, why would I want to leave this place" Jaden said as he focused on Ponyville, the sun broke down over the town which added up an dramatic effect." It has everything I need: friendly neighbors, awesome view and also my friends. I think it's time for me to settle down: maybe meet a nice mare, get some kids in the future and hang out with you girls."

For a special reason, which Rainbow couldn't figure out herself, she blushed at the mare part.

"Anyway, I need to get going" Jaden said as he turned around and took off. “See you at the gala"

"Yeah, I see you there" Rainbow said as she waved a hoof in goodbye, adding a thought in her head" Wouldn't want to miss it"

She looked after Jaden as he flew off towards the roads; she was watching every single move on him, every part of his body as she completely lost her mind.

“What in the hay are you doing Rainbow?" She asked herself as she slapped her face with her front hoof." He's just a stallion, b...but then why do I feel like I made a 'Sonic Rainboom' in my gut when I look at his perfect mane on his perfect face...."

Rainbow dreamed away again, causing her to fall down. She immediately got herself back in the air.

She couldn't believe it, she had fall of the air because of a stallion.

She was acting like a little schoolmare, that needed to change.

"And it's going to change at the gala" Rainbow said to herself as she flew back to Ponyville.

Three days later:

Jaden took a deep breath as he smelled the air of the great city.

"Oh, how I've missed the smell of a city" he chuckled and took a look around.

Over the most places, there were banners that said: CLOSED FOR THE "GRAND GALLOPING GALA".

He took a turn around an office and saw it.

The biggest stage of them all, his biggest dream were finally coming true.

It had everything; great sets of speakers, amazing light effects and most importantly, great space for the crowd.

Around the stage were tents with stalls right outside, lots of activities and a beautiful park.

Jaden was just admiring the beautiful view; it was just an amazing set for a gala.

"There you are, I wondered when you were going to show up" A certain white unicorn said as she put a hoof around his neck, Jaden turned his head to the right and met a set of red eyes.

"Well here I am, Vinyl" Jaden said with a smile." And I'm ready to put on a show".

"That's good to hear kid" Vinyl smiled back." What do you say about a tour?"

"Good idea, let's go" Jaden agreed and they started to walk around.

"This is the stage, the place where we will create magical music" Vinyl said as she waved a hoof over the stage.

Jaden just stared at it, making Vinyl to look at him in confusion.

"You alright?" She asked.

"Yeah" Jaden said as he took a place on the stage and looked out." Just admiring the beauty of this stage"

Vinyl looked at him in an confused, yet still amused, way. Jaden looked like he was living in a trance; he was just captured by the endless possibilities of electrifying a crowd.

Just when Vinyl was about to ask Jaden what he meant, a certain earth-pony walked in with her cello.

It was a grey mare with a black mane and purple eyes.

"Good evening, Vinyl" the mare said before she looked back upon the stage, noticing the black alicorn.

"Who's your friend?"

"Oh, hey Octavia" Vinyl said as she turned around to her friend “It’s Jaden, he's going to help me with the sound effects but he's also a great singer. He's also going to perform on the gala."

"I must say that he is a very handsome young alicorn, did he get the same trouble as your last client?" Octavia asked with a sly grin.

"No...It is way worse" Vinyl said between a few chuckles" He went from a crazy colt to a mare-magnet on one song."

"That's quite impressive" Octavia said amused, then Jaden jumped of the stage and walked towards the two mares.

"Okay, I'm done with the stage-examination" Jaden said to Vinyl before he noticed the gray mare" Hey, who are you?"

"I am Octavia, cello-player in the local orchestra and a close friend to Vinyl" The gray mare said with a hoof rose up" It's a pleasure to meet you"

"Pleasure's all mine" Jaden responded with returning the hoof." My friends, friends are my friends"

"So, what's up Octavia?" Vinyl asked.

" We're going to do a last rehearsal here and then we will just aid with the final preparations" she responded." So what about you?"

"I'll show the kid around and then we'll fix the last on some songs" Vinyl responded with a shrug." Otherwise, I don't know"

"Well good luck with that" Octavia responded" I have to go, but I will see you around for the show"

"Yeah, we will see you later" Jaden said as they turned away and walked towards the forest.

"She's single if you are interested" Vinyl said with a sly grin but Jaden sighed at this.

"Please don't talk about mares" he begged her." I've got enough trouble already."

Vinyl looked at him in confusion.

"What is it?" She asked him, the grin had turned into a face of worry.

"I don't want to talk about it" he sighed and lowered his head.

However, it was tilted back up by Vinyl’s hoof.

"Hey, don't be like that. You can tell me what it is" She said, now really worried about her friend.

Jaden let another sigh exit his mouth, he was prepared for this.

He knew that Vinyl was worried about him and he also knew how she was going to react.

Jaden started to tell her the story as they walked towards the forest.

"NO BUCKING WAY" Vinyl screamed out loud" You got a kiss and a nuzzle from two different mares?"

Jaden simply nodded his head and Vinyl broke out in a hysterical laughter.

He chuckled along with her, he knew how messed up it was.

"Pal, if-if you w-wasn't unlucky before then you damn sure is unlucky now" Vinyl said between the breaths of her laughter.

"You tell me" he responded sarcastically.

"S-so what about now?" Vinyl asked him between her giggles.

"I don't know" Jaden sighed as he took a look out over the forest" I've had this trouble before, but why does it feel worse at this time?"

Vinyl stopped to laugh; she could see that he had a true problem at his hooves.

"I guess, it's because you don't want to lose them as friends" Vinyl said in a convincing tone as she took a place at his side.

Jaden looked at Vinyl, she wasn't like herself, she was way more sensitive and caring.

It was whole different side of her.

Vinyl took her hoof around his neck.

"Just follow your heart and you'll do the right choice" she said with a smile.

Jaden smiled back, their conversation didn't solve his problems but it made him feel better.

"Thanks" He said" What do you say that we go back and get through these songs?"

Vinyl smiled; there was the Jaden she knew.

Always willing to perform at top.

They both turned away from the forest and went back to the stage.

They had a lot of work to do now.
