(Author's notes): Hey everypony thanks for taking time to check out this story. This is my first fan fic, So leave comments here or on my profile about the story if you like it or not. Give me pointers and I'll do my best to fix things. Sorry if the intro is a little slow...

It started off as an average boring day for Firework. He went through the usual morning routine of cleaning himself up, having some breakfast and getting the instruments out for the day. And as usual Science Explosions (or Fuse as Firework liked to call him) was late for their writing/practice session. They had been friend since they were little colts and were close enough now that you could basically call them brothers. Right as Firework was about to go looking for him, Fuse burst through the door, his red and black mane a mess.

“Sorry I’m late bro, got caught up with lightning and completely lost track of time” Fuse said while still panting

“Dude, you’re always late….”

“Hey! I was on time at least twice…in the past two months”

“Just start working” said Firework with a chuckle

Fuse quickly picked up his lyric sheet and started practicing and Firework headed for the keyboard.  As they were working Firework started to drift off, thinking about how all of this had started. About a year before Firework had had the idea to start band with him working the mic with raps, Fuse singing harmonies and both of them making beats together on the keyboard and mixer board, and before long they started to put out a some work. Since they were relatively new they hadn’t gained much popularity yet, but  they were starting to get some traction. This put more pressure on them to put more out which wasn’t much of a problem with Firework who was always determined to be the best and would put his heart into every beat and lyric but Fuse was a little more lazy... He loved to talk about his marefriend, LightningStrike, and all the stuff they did together, so it wasn't uncommon for Firework to have to work alone even though they were in the band together. This always got on Firework's nerves but he put up with it because they were so close. Firework didn't have a special somepony because his last marefriend moved to Las Pegasus (Firework's hometown) and he hadn't met another mare yet. Fuse always pestered him about getting a another because his marefriend wanted to do some double dates. All Firework could say was "Boring...". Firework was too focused on making music to look for mares. Although it wouldn't have been that hard considering the ratio of mares to stallions in Ponyville.

“Equestria to Firework, Are you there Firework?” Fuse yelled, snapping Firework out of his stupor.

Firework and Fuse continued working for a few hours, but before long Fuse started getting bored. With both of them being pegasi, they enjoyed racing every once and a while to clear their heads and blow off some steam. Fuse suggested they race to Sugar Cube Corner and get a snack but Firework said no. He wanted to work through this and finish up for the day. Firework ignored him and continued to write but Fuse just flew off. Firework was already stressed enough and now he was pissed. He ran outside and screamed for Fuse to come back and work but Fuse just laughed and flew off to Sugar Cube Corner. Firework decided to chase after him and took off to the sky. But while he was chasing after Fuse he noticed a pony watching them from the ground and realized it was Vinyl Scratch! She had been Their idol ever since the start and to see her looking at him nearly knocked him out of the sky. Firework quickly membered he had to flap his wings and decided to quit chasing Fuse and flew down to see Vinyl.

"Hey Vinyl!" said Firework, looking all too excited to see his idol.

"Hey. You're Firework right?"

"I sure am!" Firework was trying so hard to hold back his excitement. Vinyl actually knew his name!

"I hear you started a band and are trying to become the best like me!" She threw him a wink as she lowered down her shades.

"Well we try..." He said with a sheepish grin and kicked a hoof across the ground.

"Don't worry kid you'll get there someday! After all somepony has to replace me when I retire." She said with another wink.

All of a sudden Fuse came bolting down the road and crashed right into Firework. They both got up embarrassed and tried to shrug it off. Vinyl just chuckled a little and put her shades back on. She bid them both goodbye and trotted down the road. Firework looked at Fuse with pure anger and decided it was time to set him straight.

"What the hell has gotten into you Fuse?!" he screamed as Fuse just stared at the ground.

"I'm sorry Firwork... I didn't mean to run into you. I saw you were talking to Vinyl and I got excited and thought I would run over to talk with you guys."

"*sigh* Its ok Fuse. But we have good news, Vinyl has heard of us!"

"A-Are you serious?!"

"Eeeeyupppp!" Firework said with his best Big Mac impression.

"Dude that's amazing! Maybe she'll let us do an opening song for her at a concert!"

"I was thinking the same thing. If she thinks we are good we could actually hit the big times and maybe even go on tour!"

"Well a tour so soon is a little wishful but I get the idea. I hope i didn't mess things up for us though..." Fuse said while having a look of serious regret in his eyes.

"I wouldn't worry about it Fuse. She seems really chill I doubt that even phased her."

"A-Alright Firework lets go get back to work."

So Firework and Fuse raced back home to continue working with new found vigor.
