Well this day sure was a blast. And by that you mean you almost killed Shining Armor with your fire spell. Being a bipedal unicorn is tough. Sure it's great and all but you have to learn how to take care of you magic and use it properly. you have eight elemental spells four each from the Royal Sisters themselves. You need to watch your magic. you and Shining walk down the halls of Canterlot. You two are quiet for a while, but you decide that now would be the perfect time to speak to him.

"Shining, I wanted to say sorry for almost killing you. I didn't know my own strength."

He let out a sigh and spoke without looking at you. "I forgive you for that, but you need to be more careful. If you don't your magic will be out of control."

He did make a point. You could train yourself to use magic carefully, but Princess Celestia would be cool if you had Shining to help you.

You touch your horn with a tip of your finger and felt a prick. "Ow, damn it's sharp," you said, giving your finger a kiss.

"Well, our horns aren't meant to be soft and rubbery," Shining said, chuckling. "Our horns must never be touch by hands."

"Well, I'll be more careful," Damn that hurts. Shining Armor is awesome from both the show and in real life. You arrive at the door, Shining pulled out his keys from his pocket and place it on the keyhole. It opens and it reveals a nice room that would look like it was meant for a royal guest. 'Holy crap, this is freaking great' you thought with excitement.

You step inside as you look around. you turn to face Shining. "I'm staying here?" you ask.

He shook his head. "No, this is just for now," He said, in a serious tone. He was about to leave but stop as if he forgot something. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna wants you to meet them at the throne room in one hour. Until then, get some rest and try not to burn things," He said, giving you a look like a mother would hope her son would be careful at the park.

He left the room and closed the door behind you. You went to bed to relax before you felt like my eyes were heavy and closed down for you. "Best. Place. Ever," you said, in a sleepy toned.

You heard a knock on your door as you got up and see a door opening. One of the Royal Guards comes in. "Soundcheck, it's time to see the Princesses," He said, before motioning you to follow him.

You pick up Screwball and follow him down the hall. "How long have you been a guard?" you ask him, giving him a proud smile.

"Ten years," He answered with a bigger grin.

"Whoa, you must be famous," you said with a shock look.

"Oh yeah, it's great," the Guard said as if he was feeling like a hero.

You went to the throne room and the Guard went to his post on the left as you continued walking closer to them. When you were about six feet away from them, you stop before Princess Celestia speaks. "Soundcheck, you have proven yourself worthy of being the next savior of Equestria. While you may have to control your magic well, you have proven to be a true hero."

It was then Princess Luna's turn to talk. "We thought we made a mistake at first but when you played that strange music, we felt as if something that made us feel...happy."

What the hell are they talking about? "We have wondered if your guitar on your back would be the key to break King Sombra's dark spell."

Is your guitar really that important? "We have decided that it is the right time to send you to Ponyville where you will find other ponies who have music within them. You must search for them and form a band and give yourself a band name so everyone will know you all and use your music to defeat King Sombra," Princess Celestia stood from her throne and walks up to you.

You look confused and worried at the same time until she put her hand on your chin to have you look at her. She gave you a warm smile that will tell that everything will be fine. "We don't want Equestria to be full of darkness, hatred and fear. If you don't form a band and stop him, King Sombra will soon be the next ruler of Equestria and cover the whole world with darkness."

"So, you want me to go to Ponyville, find at least several ponies to join me so we can form a band to not only break King Sombra's spell, but defeat him for good?" you ask almost tensely.

She nodded in responds. You felt like you were gonna scream in fear but you didn't. You look at Princess Celestia and did a soldier salute to her. "Your Highness, I won't let you down."

This brighten her mood more. "Wonderful, now before you go, I must inform you that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence are at the gate waiting for you," Shining and Princess Cadence are here? You wonder if they are gonna join you?

"They will be joining you to help you find ponies with musical taste. Plus, they will join your band too," Princess Luna added as she walks up next to her Sister.

Wait a minute? Shining and Princess Cadence are gonna be in your band once you get them together? Hell Yeah! Now this gonna be great. "Thanks for the information, Princess Luna. I will keep that in mind."

'So freaking awesome!'

"See to it that you do. You may leave now," Princess Luna said, before you did a quick bow and headed out to the Canterlot gate.

You went outside and saw that a chariot was waiting for you all. You, Shining and Princess Cadence step inside and two pegasus Guards started flying up with the chariot and us in it.

It was a long trip so you decided to break the silence. "So, Princess Cadence I heard you stop the Queen."

She gave you a blank stare. "Who told you that?" She ask as if she wants to know something. You wanted to tell her that you saw it on tv, but she doesn't know what that means.

"It's a long story," was all you could say. Princess Cadence shrug and looks out to the left. You were in the middle and Shining was on the right.

You were about to ask him, but you decided to leave him be. Wouldn't want to ruined his happy thought about Twilight or his Wife, now would you?

Forty minutes later, you three arrived at Ponyville. The chariot lands and you, Shining and Princess Cadence got off. "Stay here and if it looks like we have more then one, send in more chariots," Shining said to the pegasus Guards. They only responded with a salute much to his approval.

"So, this is Ponyville. Who should we get first?" Before any of them could answer, a pink blur rushes to you and pins you to the floor.

You look at who that was, you couldn't believe my eyes. It was none other then one of The Elements of Harmony, Pinkie Pie, but in a bipedal form. She was wearing a white and blue stripe shirt and a yellow mini skirt as well as a hot pink boots that almost touched her knees. She looks at you with a grin.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie and it's nice to meet somepony new here. You must be knew and if your new, that means you must be a friend and if you are, I'm always here to through parties cause that what I do. I through parties and parties are always great and fun to have when you're new here and *gasps* Oh my gosh! I have to do my jingle. I'll be right back."

Pinkie got off of you, you aren't sure how to respond to this. Her voice is cute it sounded like if your Mom's Lapso Apso could talk and that would sound really cute. You got up and saw Pinkie Pie coming back with a party wagon. You know, that one from 'A Friend in Deed?' She pressed the red button and the wagon opens up, revealing horns, flags and a microwave that looks like an Easy-bake Oven and music plays while Pinkie Pie sings.

Then without warning, all the confetti came out of the oven and blew into your face and the cake batter came out of the confetti cannon and landed in Pinkie's mouth as if she knew that was gonna happen and the cake batter landed on you. 'Didn't see that coming,' you thought to yourself, sounding surprise.

Pinkie giggle at this. "Oops, sorry. I always get those mixed up again. Here, let me clean you up," By clean, she means lick all this batter off of you. You heard Princess Cadence and Shining laughing from behind and you turned around and see them.

Their cheeks look like tomatoes and you knew they couldn't hold it in much longer, so they decided to laugh and you join in. "Sorry, it's just so funny," Princess Cadence said, while laughing her ass off.

"It's okay. I didn't think this was gonna happen," you said, reassuringly.

Pinkie Pie sees Shining Armor and Princess Cadence and gasp before running up to them. "Shining Armor and Princess Cadence? What are you doing here?" She ask, all excitedly.

"We're with him," Shining said, pointing his finger at you. Pinkie looked at you, then at them, then at you, then at them and her eyes went wide with surprise.

"You know this pony?" She ask them, who only nodded before Princess Cadence spoke.

"He's new here and he's not what you think he is."

"My name is Soundcheck and it's nice to meet you Pinkie Pie."

"Well the pleasure is all mine. Say, why don't you come over to Sugarcube Corner for a party!"

You couldn't say no to it. After all, where your from, my parties aren't as thrilling as hers. "Sure," you said as Shining and Princess Cadence walks up to you and Pinkie.

"Then let's go." Pinkie said, before taking to her work.

Pinkie lead you all to her work where the party was being held. When you entered, there was lot of ponies in Sugarcube Corner. 'How did she get so many to come here?' you thought as you scan around and everypony is mingling and talking to one another.

"Remember why we are here, Soundcheck," Princess Cadence said. "We need to find anypony who is willing to help defeat King Sombra and his dark spell."

"I know, but first, we shouldn't upset Pinkie, we need to have a little party," you said, before gazing at the snack bar.

You headed there and took a plate to grab yourself some cupcakes ( not made from Rainbow Dash ), Cookies, chocolate and even cake. Hey you have a sweet tooth.

you sat at the table next to a mint-colored unicorn mare who was talking to a earth pony mare. She has a tan coat and a pink and blue mane. You wanted to talk to them, but you gotta eat first.

You started chowing down on your treats until Pinkie gasp at me. "Is that a guitar?" She ask, pointing at Screwball.

"Yes it is," you answered, after you swallow your food.

"Do you think you could play some music?" She ask with glee.

You stop eating and look at her blankly. 'If she really wanted music, why couldn't she ask earlier?' you thought in question. Then again, you couldn't say no on that part. you look at Shining and Princess Cadence, both giving you a shrug like they don't have anything to say.

You turned back to the party pony. "Why not?" Was all you can say.

Pinkie pulled out a microphone from out of nowhere and tap on it and the ponies stop doing what they were doing. There eyes were on you and Pinkie Pie. "Hey, everypony, This is the new pony name Soundcheck and he's gonna play a song!" Everypony started clapping at you.

You wave nervously seeing as that you gotta play a song. "Where's the stage?" you ask Pinkie. She didn't say nothing as she picks you up and place you on a small stage right next to the counter of this place.

You look at the front of the stage and see them looking at you, getting ready for you to play a song. "Uh...Hi, everypony," you said, trying not to be scared. "I'm...I'm...I'm gonna sing you a song called...Party Hard."

After you said that, you chuckled a bit before using your magic on your voice to sound like a robot before pulling out Screwball and play a tune.

After your song ended, the ponies cheered and clap at your song.

It all seems fine until a mint green arm grabbed you and drag you off the stage.

Author's Note

It seems Soundcheck is being taken away by somepony. What does this pony want with him?

I changed it up. a bit I hope you don't mind.
