Shadow Rave

The trio was able to slip into their assembly undetected. They were greeted by the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" lecture; nothing interesting. After the assembly, Shadow Rave, Hoops, and Dumb-Bell all made their way to Shadow Rave's dorm to meet up with Billy. When they got there they found out he had skipped assembly entirely.

"Oh hey guys, *snort* how was assemb---

"BILLY GUESS WHAT!"

"Holy shit Dumb-Bell... what!?"

"Shadow Rave is the DJ for the Blue Wings!"

"Yeah, right."

"No, look!" Dumb-Bell pointed at Shadow Rave's poster to prove his point.

"Holy shit. That's so fucking cool!"

"Dude, we totally have bragging rights now!"

Shadow Rave didn't like this. " Guys, for now I'm not interested in telling everypony. It'll just get in my way, maybe later though."

"Really Shadow? Such a buzz-kill."

"Sorry! God, look it's the weekend now... can't we just have fun?"

"Oh yeah, lucky we came here on a friday." See, there's a whole week for the new students to arrive, but the actual week can't start until all the 'newbies' arrive. Shadow Rave and his friends were the last to arrive. Causing the week to start late. "Well, What can we do?" Hoops asked.

"You guys ever heard of a club called the Mile High?" Shadow Rave asked 
Shadow Rave's friends broke out into laughter "What?"

Billy spoke up; "Ok, its cool you DJ for the Blue Wings 'n shit, but the Mile High club? Thats VIP only!"

"Fine, when we get there, they'll let me in."

"Suuuuuuuure."

"Ugh." Billy was starting to give Shadow Rave a headache.

The Mile High club was constructed of purple clouds and more or less in the shape of a large cake. When the foursome of colts arrived at the door they were stopped by a bouncer "ID please."

Shadow Rave looked up at the bouncer "Really?"

The bouncer realized who he had stopped "Sorry Mr.Rave, please proceed in."

"Thank you." Shadow Rave continued in "Mr Rave, what about these three?" nodding his towards Billy, Hoops and Dumb-Bell "They're with me."

"Proceed."

Once the three colts had caught up with Shadow Rave, Hoops spoke up "Dude, that was so rad!"

"Thanks." Shadow Rave said putting on a smug look. As soon as the four friends entered, Billy exclaimed, "I'll be right back." and whipped off somewhere in the crowd.

"Okaaaaaaay. That was weird." Dumb-Bell said. Shadow Rave wasn't paying attention, he had caught sight of a almost life long friend. Shadow Rave trotted over to him "Hey Thunder"

"Why hello Shadow Rave, how yah doing?"

"Pretty good, Im here with my friends, one of them seems a little crazy."

Thunder Twister started laughing "I see, well i'm here because i'm actually a little nervous about the flight fight. Feel like getting it off my mind tonight"

"What? You guys are gonna win, I kn---

"Shadow Rave why'd you run off? Hey who are you talkhababa..." Hoops started to stutter when he saw Thunder Twister "So Shadow, I am assuming these are your friends?"

"Well some of them. This is Hoops and this is Dumb-Bell."

"Nice ta meet cha."

"N-nice to meet you too." Hoops responded

"Y-yeah." Dumb-Bell agreed

Suddenly Billy showed up "Quick guys, follow me!"

Dumb-Bell didn't want to leave the presence of the Blue Wings Captain. "But.."

"No buts, come on!" and grabbed Hoops and Dumb-Bell and pulled them away, Shadow Raved turned to Thunder Twister "That.. Was the crazy one."

"I noticed. Well, you might as well follow them."

"Alright, seeya later." Shadow Rave turned around and followed the trail... the big gap of ponies to where his friends were. They were waiting outside a door labeled "8" there was a row of doors all with numbers leading up to twenty "So what did you want to show us, Billy?"

"Well, I convinced the bartender to get us a private room." Shadow Rave remembered the bartender, a mare named Tequila Twist "Wow, Dumb-Bell wasn't kidding when he said you were good with the mares."

"Yeah *sigh* Im surprised its not my special talent. Anyways I also got her to get us a little something else." Billy smiled mischievously.

"Oh god." Shadow Rave thought expecting a stripper or something along those lines. But when they all entered there was just a table set to the brim with all kinds of alcoholic drinks "Holy shit.." Shadow Rave, Hoops and Dumb-Bell all exclaimed

"Lets get drunk!" Billy exclaimed

"Uh, Billy you know we're under-age right?" Shadow Rave asked worried

"Who's gonna care? Your the DJ for the Blue Wings, and we're with you!" 
This convinced Hoops and Dumb-Bell "Yeah, come on Shadow try it!"

"Im not entirely sure..."

"try it." Shadow Rave's friends started chanting.

"Ugh, fine if it will shut you guys up." Shadow Rave stretched for a random bottle. The drink was labelled "Appleoosa's Pure Honest Tequila."

"Well, here goes nothing." Shadow Rave took a large gulp. That was when the three other colts started drinking.

"Hey, this is pretty good." Shadow Rave started to drink more, becoming oblivious to the fact that it was illegal.

Shadow Rave woke up with a start as his alarm clock went off. The colt remembered the night before. Shadow Rave had a small amount of alcohol, while his friends may have gone a little crazy. When they woke up their heads would be pounding. The time was currently five clock, perfect still four hours before the flight fight.

Shadow Rave grabbed his bits and exited his dorm on a quest to find somewhere to eat. Shadow Rave ended up in a nearby café with a daisy sandwich and water. By the time Shadow Rave had finished it was six thirty, still two and a half hours to go.

"Now what?" Shadow Rave asked himself, pondering on what to do. Eventually he had decided to go to the stadium to help set up, though he should have been there sooner. When he arrived Shadow Rave trotted to where his spin table would be and saw Wires, the technician "Hey Wires, I'll take it from here."

The yellow pegasus turned to Shadow Rave, "You sure Shadow?"

"Yeah, I mean you've showed me how to set it up in the last couple years."

"Alright, fine." Wires then set off to help setup the speakers. Once finished, Shadow Rave went to meet with the team "Hey Guys." Shadow Rave greeted upon entering

"Hey Shadow!" Sky Breacher exclaimed.

"Oh, sup Sky."

"Nothing much, so I heard you and your buds were at the Mile High last night?"

"Yeah, We ended up drinking and my friends.... May have had a little too much."

"Hehe, what about you?"

"Just a couple of sips."

"Good for you!" Sky Breacher said toying with Shadow Rave

"Shut up."

"Well, I'll be seeing ya. Need to go talk to the sister!" (Sky Breacher's sister being Sunset runner).

"Catch you later!" Shadow Rave continued to trot around the area looking for other team members. Not one minute later Shadow Rave found Solar flare.

"Hey solar."

"And a hello to you, Shadow Rave!" In a thick Scottish accent.

"I was wondering, have you met the wonderbolts?"

"Oi, yes I have, an' there leader. Quite a fine young lass."

"I haven't met them and don't plan on it, unless I end up their disc jockey."

"Well, I best be going. Goodbye Shadow Rave!"

"See ya!" Solar then trotted off to... Celestia knows where. Shadow Rave brushed off the next forty five minutes speaking to various ponies. But the time came for him to prepare at the spin table.

As always the announcer positioned him self upon a cloud in the stadium "Welcome Cloudsdale, for we have a special event for you today. A flight fight between the BLUE WINGS!"

The crowd cheers.

"And their opponents are a very talented uprising team, THE WONDERBOLTS!"

Again the crowd cheers. Around the whole stadium, the theme song started to play, cueing both teams to fly into the stadium. The blue wings start their routine first, (which is a advanced version of a barrel roll gain a 8,9 and 10 s from the judges. The routine continued and gained a high-score from the judges.

The Wonderbolts then preformed their Routine. They also received a high score from the judges.

The crowd was cheering before the announcer exclaimed "THE JUDGES ARE NOW TOLLING THE SCORES!" the entire stadium became quiet

"NOW REMBER, THE HIGHEST SCORE REACHABLE IS 60!" the stadium remained quiet.

"THE JUDGES HAVE NOW FINISHED THE SCORES! FIRST THE BLUE WINGS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF.... 56!" The crowd erupts with cheering.

"AND THE WONDERBOLTS WHO HAVE RECEIVED!"

The suspense...

Nothing could be heard in the stadium...

"FIFTEEEEEEEEY EIGHT!" all the ponies jump up in celebration, completely oblivious to the fact that there was one heart broken colt amongst them. Shadow Rave couldn't believe that the team that changed his life, that he had worked for, for four years with was out of business.

Shadow Rave was sitting in his bed. He wasn't crying, he didn't see where it would get him. Shadow Rave kept on going over the event in his mind, his thoughts were interrupted by Billy, "Shadow Man, where were you?"

"Where the fuck do you think?"

"Dude, chill out! but honestly, where were you?"

…"I was at the flight fight between the Wonderbolts and the Blue Wings. the wonderbolts won."

"Really? that must suck for you!"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Hey, how long were you there any way?"

"Shadow Rave looked at the time, it was six o'clock past morning "seven hours."

"Oh, well see ya!"

"ugh." Shadow Rave blew off the rest of the day blowing off steam by making ponystep songs and strumming his guitar.

One week another assembly was called. Shadow Rave brought his guitar, he had a feeling he'd need it. When entering he saw the seats were mostly taken, though he saw his friend amongst them. They waved to him and they waved back. Shadow Rave flew up to his friends, Dumb-Bell asked "Yo Shadow, why do you have your guitar?"

"I don't know, I just feel like I'll need it."

"Heh, that's weird."

"Thanks." Before the conversation could continue, even though it seemed like it ended, the principle entered the room "Good morning Cloudsdale flight school. Now, we have some special guests today. You've probably heard that a week ago there was a flight fight. And the Winning team, being the Wonderbolts, have decided to have a special presentation here. The first thing they have to say involves one of you."

All the students began to chat in wonder "Silence! thank you now please welcome the Wonderbolts!"

The students clapped. Three pegasi entered the room, the speakers a mare with a orange/red mane "Hello Cloudsdale! First of all I'm Spitfire, That is Soarin' and this is Fleetfoot. These are just a few of the team member. First I hope you remember the Principal mentioned we have a proposition for one of you?"

The students nodded vigorously, except for Shadow Rave "Well, We heard that the DJ for the Blue Wings goes to this school." There was some murmur among the students "Well, We are looking for him. Because we want him to DJ for us."Some of the students chatted, asking who he might be. Hoops nudged Shadow Rave "It's ME Spitfire!" The students gasped at the one among them standing Brolly. Spitfire seemed bit unsure "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Hoops leaned to Shadow Rave "Dude, Get up there. He's taking your credit!"

"Nah, I'm good."

"Really! He's taking the credit for what you've done for years and you don't give a shit?"

Spitfire noticed Hoops whispering "Excuse me? Do you have something to say?"

"Yes I do actually, My friend here is the real DJ."

The students gasped again "Is he telling the truth?" Soarin' asked looking at Shadow Rave. Shadow Rave sighed "Yes, yes he is."

AGAIN the students gasped "Do you have any proof?"

"WELL! the DJ is supposed to know the theme song from memory. And I happen to have my guitar here, so here Brolly you play the song!" Shadow Rave unzipped the guitar, flew down and gave him the guitar. 
Brolly took the guitar and gulped

"No, no it goes like this. Shadow Rave took the guitar and played the song.

The students were in awe. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hoops, Dumb-Bell and BIlly shouted. Spitfire trotted up to Shadow Rave "Well then, Shadow Rave. Would you like to DJ for us?"

"Hmm… Well, seeing how you just put the team that I have been working with for half my life out of business, I'd say no. BUT, then again, it IS a way to continue DJ'ing… Let me think about it." Shadow Rave then flew dace back up to his friends and sat cross-hoofed.

Billy, Hoops and Dumb-Bell didn't speak to Shadow Rave, their mood changed after Shadow Rave's "speech". The Wonderbolts continued their presentation, then the principle finished up the assembly. When all the students we're exiting, somepony tapped Shadow Rave on the shoulder "What do you want now?" Shadow Rave turning to see Brolly.

"You just embarrassed me in front of the entire school."

"Not my problem, it was your fault." Shadow Rave turned to fly away, Brolly pulled him back "You, me. out front, tonight." Brolly flew off… "What a fucking crazy school" Shadow Rave thought to himself.

I feel kind of bad for the Club part, I feel like the chapter was a bit rushed.
