//-------------------------------------------------------// Settin it off -by Adikthone- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// The arrival It was raining outside so most of the fasn didn't even show up. All the fans Abehind the curtain that belonged to huge stage were getting rowdy. All the rest of the band members didn't seem to mind the fact that some of the fans didn't show,  but Cody  loved the fans, not that the others didn't love the fans. But he  got to pay more attention to there expressions of them being the singer. The fans could be heard from behind the curtain some where even banging on the stage.              The show hadn't started yet so everyone was doing there own pre-performance rituals, maxx was tapping his drumsticks on a bucket they had happened to have backstage. Dan and zac were strumming a few cords and every once in awhile  tuned there guitars, then there was Austin and cody they just liked to talk before every show.      "So what happened to you last night, you left with that girl and just left us a the bar." Austin said, with a hint of anger in his voice.     "Yeah sorry about that, I guess I had too many drinks last night" Cody said     "It's alright I just wanted to know what happened after you left" Austin said with a light chuckle           Cody relied " I really don't remember much I just woke up, naked and in bed with her, I don't even Remember her name so I kind of just left before she woke up"       "Dude, you just left her that's not how you treat a lady man."        Not a second later a man called out, everyone on stage!       "Well let's get this started!' Someone called out       They all walked on stage and the crowd started to cheer even louder. ***       The concert started, everything was going great. You all were in the middle of you third song when everyone hears something strange. It sounded like metal bending, it was coming from above you. But when you look up, the at 200 lbs speaker collides with you face. Then very thing went black. ***       Rainbow dash and applejack walked down the halls of canterlot high, they were both making light conversation as they went to ther next class.      "So we're going to practice after during lunch in the band room, right?" Rainbow dash asked      "That's the plan" applejack replied, in her country accent             They both continued to talk until they got to where they needed to go. Then it hit rainbow like a ton of bricks, she left her backpack in the computer room. She told AJ where she was going and took off down the hallway. Rainbow was faster than any of the other girls in in the entire school, she was faster than all the guys as well. She continued down the hall way until she got to where she was going she swung open the doors and grabbed her backpack. She glimpsed out the window and saw a man. He looked unconscious, she looked down at her watch he had a good 3 minutes to get to class. She walked outside and saw the mans clothes were covered in blood and he was still bleeding.         "Oh sweet celestia."        "Oh my"a voice came from behind her      Rainbow turned around to see Sunset shimmer, standing there her mouth hanging open.          "I'll go get the nurse" was as all she said as she turned to run to nurse red heart. ***          Cody opened his eyes, expecting to see Jesus, God or even Satan or something like that, but instead he saw that he wasn't on the stage or even in a hospital, he was in what looked to be a nurses office.          "Not what I was expecting but at least I'm not dead.... I think."        Getting up on his feet the pain hit him like a fucking freight train. He looked down at his body not how could he have not seen that his right arm had a bandage wrapped around it and some bandages on his torso but much to his surprise      " Fucking hell!" he screamed.          He tried to ignore the pain and got up on his feet to see that he was easily the tallest thing in the small nurses office. Sounds of people talking outside in the hallway stopped. they sounded like they were girls then the door opened three girls walked in one was orange with red hair with orange highlights through out it, the second was cyan with ....rainbow hair? ."What the fuck is this place" Cody though to himself.      The third was taller than the others but he was still at least a foot taller than her. She wore what looked like a suit, and her hair seemed to move on its own, it was like there was wind always blowing in it.... kind of freaked him out a bit.      The orange one was just looking at you with her mouth hanging open, she was probably looking at how tall you are compared to her and her friends.    " Woah, cool!" Was the only thing that the rainbow one said.        The white lady spoke next " it's good to see your awake, you've been out for two days."      Two days really? He thought to himself.       "Where am I?" Was all he could say.         "Your in canterlot high" stated the orange girl said with a smile. By the way I'm sunset shimmer, this is rainbow dash and that principal celsestia. She said  gesturing to all of them.     " Well it's nice to meet you... I guess?"      " Anyway we got to get to class maybe we'll see you you later." With that the two of them left leaving celestia and Cody.         After they left nothing really happened, him and celestia talked about how he got here, when he was done she really didn't say anything, it was silent for the next ten minutes. Until she final spoke up," your welcome to look around the school or leave, just don't disturb any of the classes if you do stay." She got up and went over to the door and opened it and turned around and said", "the rest of your clothes are over on than table over there." She gestured over to the table in the corner. He thanked her and she left. "Guess it's time to do some exploring." He said thinking out loud. //-------------------------------------------------------// The meeting //-------------------------------------------------------// The meeting          After she left he looked yourself over realizing he had nothing but boxers on .... That means you were half naked the whole time they were in here...shit. "Whatever no harm done" Cody thought as he walked over to the table with a limp. "Damn my leg hurts"  he thought out loud. While getting dressed he noticed that his lip piercing was on the table."why would they take off me?" Cody said while trying to but it back into the little hole on the right side of his lip. ~ 5 minutes later~         Finally getting dressed and getting piercing back in its place he walked over to the mirror to look him self over when he realized that his clothes they weren't dirty or bloody Ike he expected them to be. He just shrugged it off and was about to walk out the he realized that he didn't have his phone with him. After minutes of looking he thought that maybe celestia had it and if not then well, he were fucked. Walking out of the nurses office he notice that the halls were completely empty. Continuing to walk down the hallway, he would sometimes hearing faint talking, looking in some of the classrooms little Windows that they had on the door. Some of the students where sitting at there desks, looking bored out of there minds, and on the board was some algerbra equations, must have been math he thought. As he continued down the hallway faint sound of music could be heard, the more he walked the music would get louder and louder until he got to a double doors. "why not" he said as he opened one of the doors to see it was like a gym but it had a stage in the center. On the stage were two girls one mint green and the other cream colored.  Looking around the room a bit he noticed the stands were filled with students with instruments in there arms no ones noticed him yet, so he just leaned against the pleachers listening to the music that the pair was playing. A couple of minutes later the music comes to a stop and everyone claps for them, even Cody claps. He sees celestia and a darker women sitting a table with clipboards. This must be some kind of competion he thought, walking over to celestia he knees down by there table and ask "what's going on sunny" he just decided to call her that cause why not. She almost jumped out of her chair, she obviously didn't didn't notice him when he walked up behind her. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you" he said with a chuckle Celestia calmed down a bit and glared at him, "don't do that!" She said with a bit of anger in her voice.      "This is the musical showcase we have every year" she said      She had him at music. " can I perform one of my Own songs,he asked.       " Your a musician?" she asked curious now.      " Yeah I sing for "set it off"" he said with a grin on his face "Well it's too late to actually sign up for the competition." She said      That kind of bummed him out a bit." Oh ok" he said still grinning       "You can still preform every once in a while, but you'll need a band."she said with a smile. "Sweet when do I perform." Celestia looked at the clip board then back at Cody. "you'll go on first at  tomorrow's performances, but for now go take a seat." He complied and walked over to the bleachers, everyone starring at him like he was an alien or something. Taking a seat in the back next to a girl with blue spiky hair and sunglasses. Why was she wearing sun glasses inside? he thought. He just shrugged it off and looked back down at the stage to see three girls dressed who were obviously trying to look like rock singers, and they were descent, after the performances were over celestia stood up and announced the the winners of today's competition, she listed four bands that won they were, the dazzling's, and the rainbooms and they said something about the third band, something about someone named Trixie, he want paying much attention to that part he was already scanning the room to see if he could find any potential band mates. He was torn from his train of thought when pink colored lady litteratly spawns infront of him speaking like a mad man. "Hiimpinkiewhatsyounameyournewthatmeansigettothrowyouawelcometotownparty!!!!"She talks without taking a single breath, then runs off out the doors, to God knows where. Getting up and making his way down the bleachers he runs into someone else she was wearing a what looked to be like a cowboy hat, the two collided causing her to fall over dropping her hat. Holding down his hand to help her up, she gladly takes it and he pulls her up, "thank ya kindly, sugarcube" she says as he hands her her hat back. "No problem miss, sorry for knocking you down.."he said with a smile on his face, he notices she had a bass gutair on her "You play bass gutiar.?" Cody asked. "Yep sure do" she said as she strummed a few cords. "Names applejack." "My names Cody, Cody Carson" "Well it's nice to meet ya but I gotta go practice with ma band"she said running out the door. Everyone had already left the gym, so it was just him now, looking over at the wall  he saw a  clock it was something like eleven fifty,it was to dark to really tell, almost lunchtime he thought to himself. **** Continuing down the many hallways he noticed there were at least a few students, but they were all looking right at him, so he was a few feet taller than them, so what? I do have my hood up that might look a little shady. maybe it's cause of the way i dress,he didn't know or really care at the moment. He was walking for about 10 minutes until coming to double doors. He could hear music coming from the other side, opening the door he walked inside to see 8 people playing what sounded like rock n roll. His train of thought was interrupted by one of them saying, "hey it's you!" Looking at them again he noticed it was that applejack girl he had run into. "Yeah we meet like 10 minutes ago, applejack right? he said. Walking over to the group." Yep, and yer Cody, right?". He nodded and looked at the other members  of the band, he noticed it was rainbow dash, sunset and the pink one, never did hear her name. "Rainbow, and sunset" he said pointing to the both of them, "yeah we remember you sunset said smiling at him. The next few minutes were kind of boring, just meeting there friends, they talked about they loved to do, and then they asked him about what he did, he said he sang for a band. Then they wanted to know everything about him and his band mates and wha kind of music he played, he thought it would easier to show them what kind of music he played.
