What's Your Reason?

Light Shock could see a younger woman sitting close to Rainbow Dash and someone else close by with a worn down guitar. Light Shock was wondering if he should either sit down around them or wait until Rainbow Dash told him to hurry up and play.

"Well Light Shock why don't you come over here so we can get going and stop staring at us." said Rainbow Dash as she looked over at Light Shock.

"Oh I'm sorry so what are we playing and who are these other people here." replied Light Shock.

"This is Sunset Shimmer and Scootaloo and right now I'm teaching them a few songs by Nirvana."

Light Shock collected his guitar from his light leather case and pulled out a chair from the bag of the room. He could hear Scootaloo trying to play Lithium while Sunset Shimmer followed close behind. Light Shock took out his guitar and found an amp close by his chair. It looked fairly limited compared to the one Light had at home and he had to carefully plug in his guitar to make sure the amp worked.

"Ok listen up, today me and Sunset Shimmers will work on the intro to Fade to Black, I'll play lead and Scootaloo will play rhythm." said Rainbow Dash as she pulled out her shining darker shaded blue guitar.

"As for Light Shock and Scootaloo you can go and play some Nickelback."

"Why would we play Nickelback" said Light Shock

Rainbow Dash gave back a humourous glare and said "Well it's just a joke I make to anyone who comes in you won't have to play any Nickelback but for now you can work on some Nirvana since Scootaloo here needs to practice."

Light Shock was in relief as he feared that Rainbow Dash might have had them play Nickelback songs. He was trying to remember the chords for the song In Bloom by Nirvana thinking it might make a good song for practice. Scootaloo and Light Shock gathered by the worn down amp and Light Shock was trying to show Scootaloo how to play In Bloom. Things seemed to be going fine and Scootaloo was following along with the music at a consistent pace. Finally after playing the opening and letting Kurt Cobain's vocals flow through the room Scootaloo decided to ask a question.

"Light Shock why does every Nirvana song sound like Kurt Cobain's depressed." asked Scootaloo

"Well thats how grunge always worked and besides for someone who shot himself so early in his career Kurt sure seems to send his message."

Rainbow Dash looked back at Light Shock and decided to join in on talking about Kurt Cobain

"Hey Light Shock for someone who's about as happy as Kurt Cobain off of heroin you sure seem like a ray of sunshine." said Rainbow Dash from across the room while the sounds of James Hetfield in Fade to Black and Kurt Cobain filled the room.

"Well if you want my opinion this music sounds like a ray of sunshine." said Light Shock as he glared back at Rainbow Dash and watched as Rainbow Dash was enjoying these small laughs in between playing. Rainbow Dash decided it was time to take things up a notch and make a move so she could test Light Shocks guitar skills.

"Well for someone who sounded good yesterday why don't we see if you live up to that little compliment."

Rainbow Dash thought for a second as she thought of some songs to play. She would play something fast and brutal, something that would truly take some skill to play flawlessly.

"I got it why don't me and Light Shock go back and play Raining Blood" said Rainbow Dash with a grin

Light Shock grabbed his guitar and quickly grabbed his ipod to turn the song on. He thought that if Rainbow Dash wanted some competition she was about to get some competition she would never forget. He was great at playing Raining Blood and knew that now was the time to compete.

"Ok for this competition I guess we can play the opening and maybe the solo if you can keep up and go without your guitar sounding like a cluttered mess" said Rainbow Dash

The song opened with the signature sound of a thunderstorm and as quickly as lightning their fingers moved around so fast that Scootaloo and Sunset Shimmer looked back with their mouths practically wide open. Kerry Kings voice blared through as if hell itself had infested the room. They went through the song with confidence and not the sound of one wrong note. However when the solo was about to begin they could hear a sound that wasn't part of the song but these were human sounds as well.

"Oh crap teachers nearby hurry turn everything off and run before we get caught" said Rainbow Dash

"Wait get caught?" said Light Shock with a look of confusion.

"Well we don't exactly have a permit to be here and I was going to tell you earlier but I kind of never got to it."

"Well for gods sake how do we get out before we get caught." said Scootaloo

Rainbow Dash looked around the room and saw that there were two doors in the band room. One of them though was an emergency exit.

"Well there goes my clean slate." said Sunset Shimmer

"Well then only one way out and I sure hope it works" said Rainbow Dash

As soon as that everyone ran out with the equipment in hand and everything was going well.

"Well that was a close one." said Scootaloo

"Well school starts soon and we better put this away before anyone thinks we stole it or something since carrying all this equipment at this time in the morning looks shady." added Rainbow Dash.

With that in mind everyone scurried to put the equipment away and grab their bags to blend in with everyone as some kids were already pulling into the school driveway. Now that Light Shock was done with the morning of joy it was back to a boring reality.
