What a Guitar God Wants

I get in position, my mouth just inches away from the microphone. I was scared, than as I whispered in Rainbows ear the song I'm gonna play, when she flew next to me. She excepted it. I chose Dream Theaters, The Enemy Inside. As the riffs start coming in, I played along a few seconds after it started. I was trying to forget that everyone was in the room, as i started singing the song. I had a different feeling going through my body, a feeling that I never felt before, it was amazing. It felt like this is it, I'm gonna get Twilight to be my date. I saw everyones eye widen in amazement, even Granny Smith who was really surprised at my guitar skills, I then realize that theirs nothing to be afraid of when you're performing on stage. It'll be like the dream you've always wanted, I headbang along the riffs, sang at the point when the energy inside me keeps getting stronger and stronger. This could be it.

The song ended, leaving a cheering crowd of ponies, and hoping leaving Twilight in amazement. The cutie mark crusaders seem to enjoy this, and I'm certainly enjoy this myself.

It's amazing at what you could accomplish. I heard everyone to play one more song, so thats what I did. The night goes on when the loud guitar riffs are going right through me, and the loud beating on the drums which filled me up with excitement, that shows a sign that says, "Don't stop playing, you're doing awesome." As the song ended, I felt sweat dripping from my face, I put the guitar down and walked away from the microphone standing on the floor at the back of the barn. Twilight walks up to me.

"My goodness, that was... amazing." She said with a lowered tone voice, and amazement in her eyes. I blushed with a response. Hey, the party's still going on, maybe it's time to ask some advise from anyone?

"Hmm... Can you excuse me for a sec Twilight?"

"Why of course." She said with a smile on her face. I walked off to Rainbow Dash, who found me in the Everfree forest injured, and patched me up.

"Hey Dash." I said getting her attention.

"Oh hey bro, what's up?"

"Can I talk to you? In private?"

"Yeah, sure." She said as her and I walked out the barn. "What is it?"

"I... need your help on something."

"What is it you need help with?"

"Do you know anything about... relationships?" I ask nervously. Rainbow Dashes eyes widen in shock.

"Uh... I don't know, why? Are you... In love?" She said giving me a playful punch.

"Y-yes." I said blushing.

"Sweet, who is it?"

"T-Twilight." I said quietly and blushing even redder. Rainbow's face turns into shock.

"Whoa, dude, you should totally ask her out on a date. She'll defiantly want to go out with a guitar player, and a singer like you."

"Really?" I asked with my eyes widen in shock.

"Of course bro, just try to play it cool, tell her how you feel, andIi promise if it works, she'll totally want to be with an awesome guitarist."

"Thanks Rainbow, that helps me a lot." I said with a smile, she returns the smile as we both walked inside the barn, where everyone is still partying like they never partied in a hundred years. I could see Twilight doing her dance move, Rainbow gives me a little punch to get my attention.

"Go and talk to her bro."

I walked over to her, slowly but surly, I approached her in no time. As the music dies, she stopped dancing. I could see the sweat dripping from her face and mane. Oh god, she's a goddess. It wasn't long till she noticed me.

"Oh hi, didn't see you there." She said wiping the sweat off her face. I looked to Rainbow Dash, she gave me a smile and nod, it's now or never I guess.

"Hey Twilight, can I ask you something?" I asked nervously.

"Of course, what is it that you want to ask me?" She asked with those big violet orbs, and that smile that I love so much. I took a deep breath, hoping to let the nervousness out of me. I look up at the ceiling for a sec to think, "Please accept this, please." I sat down next to her, now's the time to ask her.

"Twilight, will you..." I paused for a sec, I was so damn scared, my heart racing so fast that it feels like it's about to explode. I was shaking really bad, I couldn't help but to think of what Rainbow told me. Than I found a small flower beside me, and handed it to Twilight. "Would you... go on a... date with me?"

Her eyes widen in surprised, my cheeks turned a rosy red, she smiled in a response. As she did, she took it from my hand, and I continue to tell her about how I feel about her.

"You see Twilight, I had... a crush... on you ever since we've met, and I thought to myself that she's the one, and i couldn't be with anyone than you Twi. You're beautiful and, I... love you." I said blushing. She smiles at me with that blushing face of hers, ears folded down, with the flower still in her mouth. I looked around for a sec, I see everyone watching this romantic scene that I had just started with Twilight.

"Aww... that's very sweet of you to say, but we can't."

"Wh-why not?" I asked with a big frown, and tears start to form in my eyes.

"You're really sweet, and you play the guitar really well, and you do keep me company when nopony's around, but we can't because of how everypony is acting around you every time you're in town. How scared they are of you, and I can't imagine what everypony would think if I started... dating a human. I like you too, I really do, it's just that, we can't, and it's also because of,-" She pauses for a sec. I was nervous of what she might say. Than she finally speaks. "It's... the heavy metal stuff you listen to." My eyes widen in shock, you can't be serious, not her too. "I just... can't stand all the screaming and yelling and all that, it just makes me so... scared, I-I just can't stand that. That's why we can't go out."

This is bringing tears to my eyes, I looked away so she won't see me cry. She lifts my head up, looking me in the eye, she knows the redden in my eyes.

"It's okay Twilight, I understand." I said quietly as I got up and walked out the door. She yelled my name out to stop me, but I didn't hear her as I kept walking, tears dripping like waterfalls. In no time, I reached Twilight's castle, sitting down on the couch. Than I noticed I left my guitar and amp at Applejack's. But I didn't care, I just needed some alone time to myself. I began crying on the couch, thinking to myself. 'I can't believe she said no, was she trying to tell me that everyone in Ponyville will hate her when she's dating me? Why does this always happen to me?' As I was thinking, I was interrupted buy a door from the main entrance that has been opened. I didn't bother getting up and go look to see who it was, it's probably Twilight, I hear sounds off hoofsteps coming my way.They stopped when they reached me, I didn't bother bringing my head up, I kept thinking it's her. I just wanted to scream go away, but before I could say anything, a voice comes out to get my attention.

"Sugarcube?"

I brought my head up, there in front of me was Applejack and Rainbow Dash both holding my guitar and amp. They notice the redden in my eyes, they can see the broken heart that i just received from the pony that I love.

"What do you want?" I asked trying to keep control of my voice. They put my guitar and amp down on the ground, and sat right beside me.

"Are you okay hon? Do you... want to talk about it?" Applejack said putting a forehoof around my neck.

"No." I said bursting into tears. "Is it really because that I listen to Metal? Thats why she doesn't like me?"

"No sugarcube, she likes you, she just couldn't stand that stuff. She knows it's your passion but, she just can't stand it. I'm sorry she broke your heart."

Applejack and Rainbow gave me a smile to cheer me up, but I didn't return the smile, I quickly got up, grabbed my guitar and amp, and ran to my room, leaving Applejack and Rainbow behind. I'm in my room finally, I sat my guitar and amp down, and I slammed the door in anger and locked it. Bursting into tears, I laied on my bed, arms covering my face.

'Not her too, why is it the Metal music that always bother every girl every time I ask them out on a date? it's just not right. Metal music is like, my life, it's what keeps my heart beating. I just can't believe that she thinks of that too.'

Than my thought we're interrupted by a knocking on my door, I didn't even bother getting off my bed and answer it, than I hear a familiar voice that called my name from behind the door. It's Twilight.

"Are you okay in there? Do you... want to talk about it?"

I didn't say anything, I just lie there still, nothing to say. All I wanted to scream was go away. But I still said nothing, not a single word has escaped my throat. Than the door opens slowly, pokes her head in. She can see the red in my eyes, she does know already that she's broken my heart. I can see the sad look on her face from across the room from my bed to the door. She walks in and sits next to me, putting a wing around me to calm me down, all I could think of was, 'Is she gonna apologize? Or is she still gonna say no? I can't tell the differences from the sad look on her face.' Than she finally speaks.

"A-are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you, it's just that... I-"

"No Twilight, I should of just kept my fucking mouth shut," I said trying to control my voice. "I just... I thought you like stallions who could play guitar and... sing and all that type of stuff, and I thought doing what you always do which is study, would help me get with you. But no, it's that fucking heavy metal music that I listen to, when they talk about falling down, hurting other people and..." I paused, and broke into tears.

"Listen, i like you too. I really do. But we just can't, because. I know you love Metal a lot and..." She pauses. "I just can't!" She yelled as she ran out of the room leaving me. I tried to call her name out but she probably ignored me when she ran out of the room. I slammed the door and lock it, than I got on the floor, my head in my arms, and I just sat there crying like no one gives a fuck about me anymore. Why?
