Shadow Rave

One week later, Shadow Rave was currently in the Cloudasium, ready for the disc jockey tryouts. Currently the Wonderbolts, Shadow, and three other try-outs were listening to an abomination of ponystep, Which happened to made by a stallion who seemed as if he had never even as. His "shirt" was stained and tattered, and he seemed too drunk and high to be be legally standing. Why would Spitfire even let him into their building? Are they that desperate?

As soon as the song was over Spitfire's and Fleetfoot's face-off turned into a smile at the joy of the song being over. Next a pony who seemed to have some experience walked up to the stage and played the song with a good beat. The rest of the auditions went steady. Then it was Shadow Rave's turn, he went up, while the other try-outs started sniggering,

"He so small, theres no way he'll even play a good song."

Shadow pulled a record out of his saddlebag labelled "Wonderbolts theme", put it on the spin table and it began to play.

When the song had finished, from the looks on the try-outs faces, they were completely wrong. After Shadow Rave's turn Spitfire took the stage,

"Alright, me and the team'll need your vinyl records. So we can have more… um… time to decide on who won… and kid? We'll want to see you after this."

Shadow nodded, acknowledging what Spitfire had said. All the other Try-outs walked up to Spitfire and put their records in Spitfire's hoof. Shadow, being a bit lazy decided to not give Spitfire the record until he left.

Once the try-outs had left, Spitfire and two other Wonderbolts took no delay in running over to Shadow. Spitfire was the one to speak,

"Alright kid we all can agree that you are obviously the one who's gonna DJ for us, right?" Spitfire looked around at the other Wonderbolts expecting an answer to her question, to which she got one.

"Yeah"

"Totally"

Next it was Soarin' who spoke,

"Alright Shadow, the other try-outs are going to get an envelope saying you beat them, our next practice is friday and we'd like it if you could make it."

His voice was considerably higher than Shadow expected.

"Got it, I'll see if I can leave school early to catch more of it!"

Spitfire nodded and smiled, appreciating Shadow's enthusiasm.

"Alright kid see you in a few days."

" Yep, see you guys."

After that Shadow left.

When Shadow returned Cloud, Billy and the rest would be waking soon. Shadow decided to try and sneak into his room, as to not wake Billy. Shadow silently opened the door, only a crack of light crept in showing Shadow's bed. Turning sideways Shadow sneaked in, his wing feathers brushing the wall.

Once in, Shadow placed the turn table back it its previous home. Shadow sat down on his bed, making it creak. Shadow winced when his bed made the sound, but the disturbance only made Billy turn over in his sleep. Shadow sat in his bed, waiting for Billy to get up.

Billy groaned, he sat up on his behind and rubbed his dreary eyes. Using his front hooves to support himself, he spoke,

"Damn, what time is it?"

He looked over at his alarm clock "Ten o-clock? 'Bit early if you ask me."

Billy got out of his bed and staggered to the door, and stumbled out to  the cafeteria.

After that, Shadow decided to get up, a little energetic knowing the good news. Of course Shadow wouldn't brag of his achievements. Once Shadow was out and about in the campus the first person he ran into was Billy,

"Sup man, how'd you do at them try outs?"

"Spitfire told me I'd defiantly be getting the job."

"Sick man. hey me, dumb-bell and hoops are gonna be out later wanna join?"

"Nah, I'm good. I'll just be hanging around the school for a bit. But if I change my mind where can I find you guys?"

"We'll probably be around the basket ball courts." (Hey, since theres a pony called Hoops and his cutie mark is basket balls I'm assuming the have it)

"Okay, sounds good. But just so you know I'm bloody horrible at basket ball."

"Have you ever even played it?"

"Eh, once or twice in gym."

Billy laughed, "Alright, well see ya round Shadow."

"Yeah, you too."

Just as Billy walked around the corner, Cloud Chaser approached Shadow. Shadow gave a silent prayer in his mind, if Cloud found out that he was friends with Billy and his "crew" it would mean bad news for Shadow. Because, Billy would tend to… "pick" on Cloud. Normally Shadow would ditch Billy and the two others but they were still his only friends besides Cloud and Flitter. Though, if that changed soon he would probably ditch them.

"Hi Shadow!" Cloud hugged Shadow.

"Hey, how're you doing?"

"Really good! I heard you went to the WonderBolts tryouts, how'd you do?"

"I made it!" Shadow smiled

"Really? Good job!"

"Thanks!"

"Sorry, but I've got to go. I'm going to Flitter's house today!"

Cloud trotted down the hall and waved to the left, and Flitter stood next to her.

Shadow turned around and opened his eyes in surprise, as did the mare he accidentally touched lips with. The mare's coat was a light shade of magenta  and her main was blue, as where her eyes.

Shadow jumped back, "Sorry! Sorry! It was an accident!"

"No, it's fine."

"Wait, what?"

"It's fine, don't worry your self over it."

"Okay..." Shadow was quite confused by this mares reaction.

"I'm Firefly by the way."

"Uh, Shadow Rave." Shadow stuck out his hoof, they shook hooves.

"C'ya later." Firefly walked off giggling

"What just happened?" Shadow question as he walked out of the school...
