The next day, you hear a knocking at your door. It was growing louder by the second. You rush down to see that it is your friend panting heavily. "Hurry... we gotta... practice..." he says still trying to get some air.

"Relax, man." you say. "I'll be right there. Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"Okay." he says wheezing. You go upstairs to put on some new clothes since you didn't change out of the ones from last night. Then, you hear sounds of frustration coming down the street. You look out the window and find that's its Rainbow Dash on her phone.

"Come on!" she says disappointed as she texts her friend. "You gotta be kidding me." she starts to make her way to your door you quickly rush down to greet her. In your excitement, you forgot to realize you were still in your tank top. You answer the door and greet her with a smile. She however is stunned at your muscles. Shes never seen your arms as you always wear your sweater to school. "Uh, h...hey." she said.

"Hey, I'm almost ready. Wanna come in?" you ask politely.

"Uh... sure." She sat down on your couch as you headed upstairs. She was moving her legs everywhere as anxiety started to fill her body. Your friend laid down on the couch paralleled to the one she was sitting on. You came down in your dark blue jeans and black leather jacket. You put gel in your hair to keep it from going crazy. Your designer shirt and shoes were driving her wild. You looked really attractive, and it was turning her on.

"Oh! Almost forgot!" you run upstairs to get your guitar and your assignment needed for your end of the deal.

"Why are you bringing your guitar?" All the instruments we need are at school." you friend asks.

"Well, you never know when you may need it." you respond.

"Alright then, lets go!" Rainbow said jumping from the couch and out the door. Her face blushed at the sight of you.

"The bus is coming." your friend warned.

"No, lets walk." Rainbow said quickly. She was still hyped and the last thing she needed was to sit down.

"Come on, a little walking never hurt anyone." you say.

"Tell that to my feet. I already ran 10 blocks to your house. You walk, I'll take the bus." your friend flags the driver to stop. You and Rainbow keep walking.

"So, besides me and my friend, is anyone else joining this crew?" She doesn't respond. Your worried maybe you said something wrong. "Rainbow?"

"Huh?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry. Three others are joining." she said obviously lying.

"Okay." You say ending the conversation.

You make it to school 10 minutes late, but were able to turn in your paper on time. You then meet up with your friend in the auditorium. Each student had been assigned a different section to plan out their ideas. Your friend had already set up the computers and instrument panel.

"Where the hell did you get an instrument panel!?" You yell in disbelief.

"Calm down! If you must know, I have an uncle who owns a music shop. I went there yesterday to rent this. And I also got two of these." He said pulling out two guitars from a rack. One was bright red while the other was bright green with wavy type patterns. "I believe these are your favorites."

"Whoa, are those Rocksmith!?" Rainbow says excitingly.

"Yep."

"Aw man, It's my dream to own one."

"What is Rocksmith?" You ask.

"Made by Coltson, only way better. Coltson is good for acoustics, but for electric guitars, choose Rocksmith."

"Man, you really know your guitars." you respond to Rainbow.

"So, you gonna practice?" your friend asks.

"Maybe just a little. We don't want anyone stealing our ideas." you say picking up the green guitar. You place the strap snugly over your shoulder and grab your pick.

"This is what we've got so far." Rainbow said. "Hey, you mind playing him what we got?"

A mixed wave of fear and embarrassment hits your body as you are paralyzed in place. You are now being forced to play your anonymous love song in front of the half the school. "Y-yeah, I... I can do it." you take a seat on the edge of the stage as your pride was starting to get bigger again. You take a deep breath as the first drop of nervous sweat starts to slowly run down your face. Your first finger presses against the D string while the other two press on the G and B. You then start to play. The moment you strum the first few chords of your guitar, your stage fright starts to fade away. The room darkens. There is no one else around. Just you and your guitar. Chords and lyrics run through your mind as if you were reading them on a screen. As you pass through the first and second verse, you feel that a short guitar solo is appropriate. You finish on the D chord. The room becomes bright again and you can see everyone gathered around you giving you applause. Rainbow Dash giving you her smug grin. Your 15 minutes of fame were up and it was back to the real world.

"So, what did I tell you? Pretty good right?" Rainbow said to your friend, still smug.

"Good? No. It was fucking awesome! I can't believe you have such skill man!" Your friend said giving you a high five.

"You passed the time by pretending to do work. But really, you were working on another song. The final bell rang and everyone went home. The auditorium was completely empty except for you, your friend, and Rainbow who was sitting in the corner listening to her MP3 player.

"Hey!" your friend tells Rainbow Dash. "We gonna do this?"

"Yeah, sure." She gets up and grabs a guitar. You hide the lyrics in your pocket and grab the other one.

"So, play through the whole song and lets see what we got."

"You ready?" she turns to you.

"As I'll ever be." You start off with the lead, she steps in with chorus. You both start playing in harmony. As she starts reading your lyrics you start to get hard again. "Ugh! Curse her sweet beautiful voice!" you think, your face turning red. You cant get into your special guitar mode while she sings so beautiful. You needed complete concentration.

"Deep into the night." she finishes the second main verse. Finally, she stops. "Solo time!" you think. You miss your queue, but that doesn't stop you from coming in on the next chance. You wait to align with the rhythm and then let loose. You stick to high chords for more power. You are unstoppable as your flow has been unleashed for everyone to see. Too bad the room was empty. You finish your solo 2 minutes later and Rainbow comes right back with the main verse. As the song wraps up, you tred the high notes once more for a better ending and finish with your guitar wailing like a siren. As her voice echoed in the speakers along the wall, you see your friend jumping up and down with excitement.

"Ha-ha! Woo! Yes! That was incredible! Man songs like this, really get you pumped up. Keep watch while I go to the restroom?"

"Sure." Rainbow says putting her guitar on the rack.

"Wow." you say. "You were really good."

"Yeah right."

"No, really you've got a good voice"

"Thanks, and you're really good with that solo."

"I swear I've never done anything like that before."

"Yeah right. You know, you have really proved wrong."

"How so?" you say looking a bit offended.

"Well, I thought you'd be the type of person that would be too scared to really let loose and have fun. Turns out I was wrong."

"Oh." you say looking modest. Suddenly, you get a feeling you've never felt before. A feeling in your heart that takes control of your head. Without knowing, "Hey, can I show you something?"

"Okay."

You start leading her outside the auditorium to the soccer field. You grab your guitar, only its not you that's doing this. Its almost like you're being brainwashed. You sit on the bleachers with her by your side. You put your guitar on your lap and get ready to play. You pull out your sheet when suddenly, you now know what you are about to do. "Its all you, Casinova." an almost taunting thought enters your brain as it leaves you stranded. You take a deep breath and realize that what you do now can either pull you closer to her or pull you apart from each other. You unfold the sheet that only had chords, but the lyrics you needed to know were in your head. You start with the E.

"This is the girl that I see every day,

I'm always so nervous, I don't know what to say,

But when you started to walk my way,

You said "Hi" and I said "Hey",

And now I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, I'm frozen in place,

Oh yeah, I've been taken by surprise by your pretty face,

And whenever I feel sad I turn and look at you,

'Cause its your smile or whatever you do, that makes me feel like,

Sunshine and Rainbows after a day of rain all night,

You're so beautiful, you make me feel alright,

I can't believe I ever had a doubt in my mind,

That love I would ever find, That love I would ever find,

I always watched you get all the fame,

And I've always thought that you thought I was lame,

But now, I know, And I've never told anyone before,

But here I go, You make me feel like,

Sunshine and Rainbows after a day of rain all night,

You're so beautiful, You make me feel alright,

I can't believe I ever had a doubt in my mind,

That love I would ever find, That love I would ever find,

(Guitar Solo 1)

I know now more than I ever did before,

I'm just thankful that you are my friend,

Girl you always leave me wanting more,

And I wish that It'd never end,

(Guitar Solo 2)

'Cause you got me feeling like,

Sunshine and Rainbows after a day of rain all night,

You're so beautiful, You make me feel alright,

I can't believe I ever had a doubt in my mind,

That love I would ever find, That love I would ever find.

As you finish your song, your immasculine open-hearted song, you lay your guitar in front of you. You look at Rainbow with your eyes opened as wide as possible. Your face turning red with the goosebumps on your arm due to the erection and lovey-dovey song combined. You see her cheeks blush lightly, her mouth lay slightly open. The light of the night reflected off her silky smooth hair like a calm lake. You could see the moon in her eyes and the quivering lip as she sat completely frozen. She closed her mouth and brought her eyes immediately down towards your pants. This completely took you by surprise as your brains thoughts battled each other for what should be done. Instead, you became frozen with red cheeks and a nervous look. She smiled back up at you with a grin, she knew what you were trying to hide.

"I...uh, I can-" you try to excuse your way out of this situation before you are cut off by her soft two fingers on your mouth.

"Shh," she says as she removed her hand and slowly leaned in. Your heart takes over your body as you lean in to meet her two soft lips greeting you with open arms. Your heart pounding at the anticipation of your very first kiss with the most beautiful girl in school. More and more blood rushed to your pants as your heart beat faster and faster. Your emotions for Rainbow were too strong as you sped up the pace and greeted her early. Your action took her by surprise as she gave out a soft moan. Her arms were on your legs and started to run up your body until they met your shoulders. She wrapped her arms around your neck pulling you tighter, closer. Your tongue begged for entrance as it ran across the bottom of her lip. She tilted her head a little and opened her mouth letting your tongue rush in to play with hers. Her arms started to loosen up as her hands chose a new destination. She ran her hand up your shirt and felt your strong pecs. She wasn't the only one who was athletic. Your hands ran up her side feeling her figure. She moaned at this and took the kiss deeper. She leaned towards you, your lips pressing harder than your hand in a door. You brought your hands down to he backside, where you've always dreamed of putting them. You squeezed her cheeks once and triggered a loud moan. It was almost like pressing a button on a toy. Things started to get even better. She removed her hand from underneath your shirt and started heading down. She kept going until you felt a warm touch on the top of your pants. She explored the new territory and found the perfect area to settle. Things were going good, until...

"Noooo!"

You both broke from the kiss and realized that you left the auditorium completely abandoned. You ran back as fast as possible and found broken colored wood at the entrance of the auditorium. Broken strings and cables scattered next to the busted amp. The water needed for the smoke machine was spilled and completely fried the extension cords. At first sight, it was a clear sabotage. "Where were you!?" your friend yelled angrily at you. You felt bad enough that the instruments were destroyed, but his yelling made you feel worse. "Do you know how much this is gonna cost!? My uncle's gonna kill me! You know I cant believe you cant even keep an eye on things while I'm gone. Can't I trust you for anything?"

"Look, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, me too." you and Rainbow said.

"Sorry is not gonna fix $7,000 worth of damages!"

You and Rainbow are both stunned. Did he just say, $7,000? "Did you just say $7,000?"

"Yes, I did. And until you can find out who did this, hes holding us responsible."

"Wait, but what about the battle of the bands?" Rainbow asked. That question might have hit a nerve.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but in case I didn't make myself clear, lemme say it again. We owe $7,000! The instruments are all but fucked up, and we don't know who did this! So I'm to interrupt your little fantasy, but I'd like to welcome you to reality. And the reality is, this whole thing is fucked! If you and you're stupid little dream hadn't gotten into my life, I'd be fine! All this is your fucking fault!" Your friend exploded in rage, maybe a little too much. Rainbow looked at him, then at you, and then left in tears. Your feelings for Rainbow kick in and your first reaction is to smack the hell out of your friend. Then you chase after her.

"Rainbow! Wait!" you run after her in the parking lot. "Hey, you okay?"

"No, he's right. This is all my fault. If I hadn't tried to accomplish some stupid dream, we wouldn't owe $7,000 to his uncle."

"Listen, it's not your fault. Look come back inside, we can work this out."

"No! Okay? I'm done. I'm done with this stupid dream. It's over. Goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow." she walked away still crying at the hurtful words he said. You decide to pack up and go home. Battle of the bands is in 3 days, and you're not letting her give up on her dream. You gather all the money you can and get something done. You were going to make sure that everything went exactly as planned. Or else...
