Rainbow Dash goes to a Michael Jackson Concert

    Rainbow sulked in her seat as Michael trotted offstage to get his next outfit on. "Why doesn't he just sing all the songs in one night? Jeez!" She thought aloud. Twilight overheard Rainbow debating herself quietly to the left. Knowing full well that Rainbow didn't want Twilight to hear her talking to herself, Twilight turned to Rainbow and said,

    "You do realize that we're going to see the rest of the concert tomorrow, right?" Rainbow didn't even waste a second trying to sound smarter than her,

    "Of course I do, doesn't everypony?"

    "Yeah. Everypony but you."

    "Whatever." Rainbow looked over at Cheese, who seemed to be having a conversation with the pony next to him. She rolled her eyes as the two started to giggle in a suspicious manner. The audio started with some heavy breathing as Michael slowly walked onstage, wearing a white suit with a  matching fedora, and of course, dem gold pants. Rainbow could have sworn she heard ponies squeeing behind her. Before she could figure out why the hay they were making that obnoxious noise, the audio got louder, and just before the music started, Cheese stomped on her hoof...HARD!

    "AAaaooww!" She screeched, jumping up in the air. The two ponies next to her started laughing their heads off, while Rainbow had to deal with the dirty looks of ponies behind her. Luckily for her though, Michael seemed to be in a nice mood, because he just ignored it, and... she could have sworn he winked at her, even if he only turned his gaze towards her for a second. After the ponies had turned back towards the stage and decided to stop giving Rainbow an imaginary assault, she whipped her head to the left, faster than she could fly.

   "Cheese!! What the hay was that for!!??" She whisper-shouted. Cheese looked shock for a second, but his expression quickly turned to that of a smug prankster.

    "Why Rainbow, I'm shocked at you. We do not say those words here." Cheese was grinning awkwardly as he gestured a foal sitting with his mother a few seats away, "Think of the foals, don't corrupt them with your language."

    Rainbow breathed in and out, trying to control her rage the way Twilight had shown her, "Alright, I get it, you all think it's hilarious that I'm enjoying myself, just don't do that again......jeez"

    "Sorry.....I just....could NOT resist, it was the perfect opportunity to-" Cheese just kept blabbering on as Rainbow tuned him out and tried to focus on Michael's singing, although it was a little hard, considering it sounded like he was trying to whisper in the mic, but the words she did hear were something along the lines of...

Annie are you O.K.?

     Or maybe it was Annie Ichy oaky. it was kinda hard to tell.

    "Wait a second, who's Annie?" Rainbow said aloud, causing Twilight and Rarity to turn towards her. Rainbow realized she'd accidentally voiced her thoughts and she smiled casually at them, as if she had meant to say it out loud, "Is she like.....his girlfriend or something?" The two other mares turned away and started mumbling to each other in an incoherent whisper, so Rainbow only caught part of the conversation,

    "Should we tell her?"

    "I don't know, what if ...... believes the ..... accused him of....." Was all that she could understand. Once Rarity and Twilight seemed to have reached an agreement, they turned back and and took a deep breath,

    "Well, you see, Annie is just a fictional character created to fit with the the song." Rarity explained, nodding her head like, "Yeah, that was definitely what me and Twilight were talking about..."

    "Yeah, I get that, just, what were you mumbling about?" Rainbow crossed her arms, waiting for a response, and just got empty, awkward silence, "You gonna answer, or what?"

    Twilight looked around nervously, before finally giving in and telling Rainbow, "Me and Rarity were talking about a certain article that came out of the Foal Free Press around the time of the whole "Gabby Gums" incedent, one that......accused Michael of....well....hurting foals.......in a....way....but..umm"

   "Why were you talking about that?!" Rainbow demanded, not even fazed by what Twilight had just said, "Don't you think that this is a place where you WOULDN'T talk about that kind of thing!?"

    "We were just discussing.....ahhh.... how best to tell you!" Rarity nodded her head, trying to look convincing"

    "Well, that doesn't answer my question......like.........at all, I mean, why couldn't have you just waited 'till we got back home?!" Rainbow turned back towards the stage, just as the lights started to brighten up again and ponies began to get out of their seats and mingle about. "Awwww man....." She trailed off in disappointment, but quickly found her anger again, "You guys made me miss the last song of the night!"

   "Well, if it makes you feel better," Twilight said, "I have all of his albums in my record collection, so if you want to borrow them, I have them! Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, etc.!" She said it really cheerfully, trying to distract from the previous conversation.

    "But Twilight," Rainbow whined, "Seeing ponies perform at concerts is, like so much cooler than just listening to records! I mean, you get to see super famous ponies perform live, and you can even meet them! Records are just listening to songs, without feeling like you're about to talk to the coolest pony EVER!!"

   "Speaking of which," Rarity said as she carefully got out of her seat and straightened out her dress in her own picky way, "We've got somewhere to go."
