The next day, Alice, Sunset, and the others are going to the music store with Joseph because he tells them that he needs a new guitar. The others are wondering why Joseph needs a new guitar and wonder why he's bring a guitar case.

As they enter in the music store, Clarissa curiously asks, "So Joseph, why you are getting a new guitar? You already have one."

Joseph isn't saying anything. All he does is open up his guitar case and show them why he needs a new guitar. The guitar Joseph has in the case is light green, but the strings are broken, the guitar is rusted and old, and the top of the guitar is broken up.

Clarissa gasps with horror seeing his guitar and says, "Now I understand."

"Your guitar looks like a wreck," Alice adds.

"What happened to it?" Amy asks with a shock.

Joseph scratches his head, blushes, and sheepishly says, "I was practicing my guitar solos and I accidentally trip and dropped my guitar while I was in the guitar.

The others are kind of surprised to see the guitar a mess and how he explains it.

Alice looks at Joseph with a suspicious look and says, "Let me guess, you didn't clean up the garage like your mom asked."

"Yeah?" Joseph answers feeling embarrassed.

The girls simply giggle and trying not to show Joseph they are laughing at him. Max and Jerry laugh out loud which is making Joseph feel a little embarrassed.

After having the laugh, they decide to see if they can help Joseph find a guitar.

Joseph and the other look around for a guitar, but so far nothing seems to interest him at all. Some of them were too big, too small, too shiny, and some are too strange.

Joseph sighs a little and says, "Geez, finding a great guitar is kind of hard."

"And we been here for a while," Jerry complains.

Alice laughs and says, "We only been here for 15 minutes."

"I know and it's almost lunch time," Jerry adds.

The others giggle a bit while hearing Jerry wanting food, but Joseph still want to find a perfect guitar for him.

"Don't worry Jerry, well only be here for another 5 minutes and then we'll get something to eat," Joseph says.

Jerry smile and says, "Sure."

Sunset asks, "So what kind of guitar are you looking for?"

"Well Sunset, the kind of guitar I'm looking for has to be interesting, cool, special, awesome, something that 100% speaks to me," Joseph explains as he is trying to find a new guitar.

"Hey guys," a familiar voice calls out.

The friends turn around to see Tori and his friends/bandmates. They figure they must be here to get some stuff for their band and and instruments.

"Hi Tori," Joseph says happily.

"Hi Tori," Alice says while blushing.

"Hi Alice," Tori says acting the same way.

Sunset and the others start to smile and laugh quietly to see Alice and Tori acting towards each other.

Tori turns to Joseph and asks, "So, are you looking for a new instrument?"

"Yep. More like a guitar," Joseph answers.

Just then Joseph has a great idea and think it will be a good way to find is perfect guitar.

Joseph turns Tori with a competitive look on his face and asks, "Well since we're here, how about we have a little competition?"

"A shred off?" Tori asks.

"Shred on!" Joseph says sounding determine.

Joseph looks around for a guitar to use for their competition while Tori is buying some guitar strings. Joseph looks around and see a nice light blue one. He thinks it looks good, but first, he wants to try it out.

Tori and Joseph have the guitar they are going to use for their competition and starts to play the guitar.

Joseph strums his guitar playing a tune.

Then Tori strums his guitars and is determine to shred the competition.

Tori and Joseph are looking at each other with a competitive and serious look on their face. Nether one of them is going to give in.

The two are strumming the guitar and are playing music and hoping to blow everyone's mind. Tori is playing good that Joseph thinks he is going to lose the competition.

Just then Joseph strums his guitar really hard and strong. Just then, Joseph starts to feel very strange and something incredible happen. Joseph's eyes glow white and it's causing him to fly in the air. Everyone including Tori are shocked and surprised to see Joseph is going through the transformation. Just then, Joseph starts to transform, he turns the same cyan blue color and grows pegasus wing and pony ears. Joseph then use the guitar to play a solo and lands on the ground creating a rainbow colored sonic boom. The boom blows everyone off their feet and lands on the ground.

When Joseph eyes turn back to normal. He is surprised to see the transformation is just done. When everyone looks at Joseph, they all cheer for his great performance.

Sunset surprisingly asks, "How… how did you do that?"

"I don't know… but it was so awesome!" Joseph answers sounding every amazed and excited his transformation.

"Yeah," Max replies.

"And look at the guitar," Clarissa says showing Joseph the guitar.

Joseph looks at the guitar he picks out earlier and can see it transform as well. The guitar is a shiny blue color, with a red stem on it. On the stem part, it has small yellow thunderbots on it. Joseph is very amazed by the guitar and can see how special it really is.

Joseph turns to the others and says, "You know guys, I think this guitar really speaks to me."

Joseph then strums a tune on the guitar and this thee sound of it is amazing.

Tori says, "I'm glad you like it, because I don't know if they will take the guitar back after the transformation."

Everyone laugh at Tori's remark and can see that Joseph like the guitar from his transformation. Sunset however is feeling suspicious and confused on how Joseph can transform like that while playing with the guitar. She also starting to think that the others will experience their transformation, she just has to wait and see what goes on in her new life with friends.
