Idea of Making an Awesome Music Video

"And now for the big finish…!" Flash heled his guitar.

Flash starts channeling his lightning power make his guitar louder and sound more awesome than ever he struck the strings, he kept playing until he pointed the tip of his guitar toward the sky and shot a lightning bolt straight up like a reverse way of how a lightning bolt struck.

"That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered as she and the others are clapping exciting for him.

"Thank you, thank you, hope you all had a shocking time." Flash smirked.

"Did you really just make that into a lame joke?" Aria asked exclaiming of the bad joke.

"It took him hours to come up with that one, at least let him have this one." Sunset allowed Flash to do the bad joke he worked hard on coming up.

"I still can't believe you got do your awesome lightning magic while the rest of us had to hold ourselves back." Rainbow Dash complained.

"He's only using his power on a small scale and NOT causing it to go overdrive from overusing it for everyday needs." Twilight pointed out.

"Okay, you got me there. But I still like to use my superspeed." Rainbow Dash muttered the last part.

"Oh, I better get going to the sushi shop I'm working up. All-night shift to suffer through." Sunset said as she looks at the time on her phone.

"Why are you taking an all-night shift?" Applejack asked.

"Because Lucoa wanted to experience what it's like to drive a car which she got it crashing into the skatepark and broke through the bottom when it was upside-down while also accidentally taking out the engine." Sunset explained.

"Me and Pinkie were at the skatepark, and it was a dozy seeing all of that." Sonata mentioned.

"Good thing my Pinkie Sense alerted before that could happen." Pinkie said.

"I'm also going to be working at my job in the music store too." Flash informed.

"Why are you guys even working to pay off the damage for the car? Couldn't you just have Lucoa get some gold or diamonds to make the fast money?" Rarity asked.

"Because we told we would be earning the money the old fashion way and she needs to earn some too with her teaching job." Flash answered.

"You know it's going to take forever to get the money needed, right?" Aria asked.

"Now Aria, I think it's good for them to get some hard work and you were also the one who encouraged Lucoa to try driving." Adagio reminded her little sister.

"Whatever, not like I told her to crash the car and I was watching TV at the time." Aria stated.

"Still, it would be nice to see if we can earn the money to fix the car faster so Sunset wouldn't have to go through the night shift again." Flash said.

"So many fish… Too much smell… I don't think I can last another week." Sunset exclaimed.

"Come on, Sunset. Let's make our way to the mall." Flash pulled out his car keys from his pocket.

"Do you mind giving me a lift, I just got this new idea for my next line, and I need to be at the fabric store before they sold out the ones I need." Rarity asked.

"Sure girl, we wouldn't mind." Sunset nodded.

(Canterlot Mall)

Flash and Sunset have gone to their jobs to begin the day while Rarity have made off with her own secret plan of helping the two with the car trouble, she always gets her ideas through some window shopping and hope the clothing stores would inspire her. But today, she got nothing.

"Oh, rats. Three hours and still no ideas for a lucrative last-minute fundraiser. Usually, window-shopping inspires me." Rarity wondered what she's gonna do now.

"Are you a musician?" A voice asked.

"Hmm?" Rarity surprised of what sudden question and turn to the source coming from a TV.

"Do you and friends love to dance?" The man from the TV asked.

"Yes." Rarity answered.

"Are you unique, cool, stylish?" The TV asked with some pictures on the screen.

"Yes, yes, yes, and... obviously!" Rarity answered exciting and smiled.

"Do you want to win a cash prize?"

"YES!" Rarity screamed of excitement before quickly calming herself down.

"Then enter the Canterlot Mall Chance to Prance Competition! All you need is a music video of your own original song and dance. Then you could be prancing your way to first prize! Sign up now at the booth near the Aunt Orange smoothie kiosk." The TV explained about the contest.

"(This could be the thing to help Flash and Sunset. Plus, I bet the Rainbooms would be very great in winning this thing.)" Rarity thought grinned.

"Oh, we're certain to win!" Rarity believed.

Rarity makes her way to the signup booth to see the sign for the music video contest and put in the name of the band, but she sends the others about a contest she's gonna sign them up and promise to explain everything later.

"Rarity! What a nice surprise! Not." A girl said cheerfully at first then sour.

Rarity turns her head to the familiar voices and becomes surprised when she saw four girls walking up to her.

"Sour Sweet! Sunny Flare! Sugarcoat! And Lemon Zest! Why, it's been ages!" Rarity greeted the four girls.

Sour Sweet has moderate indigo eyes, pale, light grayish gold skin, and her hair is moderate rose with lighter, moderate rose, and grayish aquamarine streaks. She wears the Crystal Prep school uniform without the sleeves and the bottom part short around the waist. Breasts sizes: G-cup.

Sunny Flare has light turquoisish gray skin, grayish mulberry with light raspberry streaks hair color, and moderate cerise eyes along with dark indigo eyeshadow. She wears the normal school uniform of Crystal Prep. Breasts sizes: G-cup.

Sugarcoat light phthalo bluish gray, light opalish gray with light arctic bluish gray streaks hair tied in two ponytails and a bun, and grayish orchid eyes behind her orange-red framed glasses. She wears the Crystal Prep school uniform. Breasts sizes: J-cup.

Lemon Zest has pale, light grayish amaranth, Light pistachio with pale, light grayish green and light brilliant lime green streaks hair color, and light brilliant amber eyes. She wears the same school inform like the other girls and has pink headphones over her head. Breasts sizes: K-cup.

These four girls from Crystal Prep High School and part of the team call the Shadowbolts, a boarding school where some say it's where the bests of the bests are nurtured and rival to Canterlot High. Well, former hated rivals after the whole incident with the Friendship Games.

"It's only been a few months since the Friendship Games." Sugarcoat pointed out with her almost expressionless straight face.

"Is that all? Wow! How is everything over at Crystal Prep Academy?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, things at CPA have never been better since Principal Cadance took over." Sunny Flare answered.

"She even got word about Canterlot High having dragons in the school, and we even saw some in the sky a few days ago." Lemon Zest mentioned.

"Oh yes, I know them quite well. In fact, one of my friends' boyfriend is quite close to one who started this whole new magical co-existence." Rarity said truthful.

"If you wish to meet them then I'm sure the dragons wouldn't mind." Rarity said.

"So cool!" Lemon Zest smiled.

"Anything else going on at your school?" Rarity asked.

"Principal Cadance is going to let us have the spring dance on a yacht, if we raise the money." Lemon Zest answered exciting.

"Oh, sounds divine!" Rarity commented.

"Are you signing up for the "Chance to Prance" contest, too?" Lemon Zest asked.

"I am! Heh-heh. Are you girls here to sign up for the competition?" Rarity asked giggling, thinking these girls came here for the same reason.

"We definitely aren't here because we like standing in lines." Sugarcoat said bluntly and earn an elbow from Sour Sweet though she didn't flinch from it.

"I assume you already have a video concept figured out. The competition's going to be pret-ty fierce." Sour Sweet said with a somewhat cute smile.

"Yes, it came to me as soon as I saw that gorgeous red ruffled ensemble on the way over here." Rarity answered and other parts of the idea came from when she saw that video too.

"Oh, tell me more." Sour Sweet grinned.

"Oh! Well, each member of the Rainbooms is going to dance in a different style—like flamenco, hip-hop, or street ballet—and we'll wear costumes to match each genre. Designed by yours truly, of course." Rarity explained giggling.

Rarity can already imagine the Rainbooms doing the music video in her head along with Flash and the dragons adding some extra touches, all the magic from them clashes into the perfect and fabulous finale.

"That sounds like a very good concept." Sugarcoat commented.

"Yeah, heh, I guess it's okay. If you're going for way too over-the-top." Sour Sweet said.

"Thanks! So, what's your concept?" Rarity asked.

"Nothing. We don't have one yet." Sugarcoat answered, but Sour Sweet immediately shush her.

"What she means is it's a surprise! But it's a-ma-zing. So original." Sour Sweet proclaimed with a smug.

"Oh, well, I can't wait to see it. Good luck!" Rarity said walking away from the Shadowbolts.

"You too!' Sour Sweet waved goodbye.

"Oh yes, I don't see Indigo Zap with you all." Rarity said.

"She's out on cruise trip with her family and won't be back for a while." Sunny Flare explained.

"How fun!" Rarity smiled.

(Canterlot High, Music Room)

Rarity explains to everyone about the contest, including telling this to Flash and the girls living in his house with him along with Tohru and Spike. Shouta and the five little girls are here too.

"See? It's a wonderful plan. We'll write some lyrics for our new song, and we'll choreograph some dance moves. Then our video will win a cash prize, and voilà!" Rarity finished her explanation.

"A music video contest, sounds pretty cool to do." Flash commented.

"It sounds like a lot of fun! Can we be in the video?" Sonata asked clapping her hands.

"Of course, I was hoping to add some more amazing into the video with some help if you don't mind." Rarity nodded.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie will lend her amazingness to help make you all more amazing too!" Trixie declared.

"Not sure if I should take that as an insult or compliment but thank you." Fluttershy said.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Shouta asked.

"I'm sure it'll just be us doing the chores and handling the equipment." Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes.

"I'm not so sure about that. You make it sound simple as pie." Applejack said to Rarity.

"That's because it is! The girls at Crystal Prep even agree. They're making a video, too." Rarity mentioned the Crystal Prep girls.

"They are?" Twilight asked surprise.

"I-Is that a problem, darling?" Rarity asked nervous of how Twilight will react to hearing about her old classmates from her former school.

"Oh, no, it's not. Just haven't heard much about my old school since I left, I guess." Twilight scratched the back of her head.

"Oh yeah, I think I remember Flash mention that when I first moved into your home." Tohru recalled that moment.

"The two schools were at this fierce rivalry with each other, and Crystal Prep would always beat us ever Friendship Games we had, and they gloat like trashing out statue and other mean things." Fluttershy explained.

"Sounds like something that needs to be destroy to help Twilight be at peace." Tohru smiled scary with her fangs showing and fire almost bursting out.

"Tohru, no destroying. Let just focus on the music video." Twilight calmed her dragon maid down.

"Okay, before we get started with the choreographing of our dance moves and… there's just one tiny, teeny-weensey, little thing I forgot to mention." Rarity said nervously as she tries to play it cool.

"Do you need to sign a contract that involve giving up your soul?" Lucoa asked with her arm between her breasts.

"Mom, humans can't do that ritual. At least not anymore." Shouta pointed out as he remembers the last one was over a few centuries ago.

"So, what is it you need help with?" Sunset asked.

"… Well, I was hoping I can use a little of some emergency dragon money to buy the materials for the costumes." Rarity answered admittingly.

"Like how Lucoa used the pearl to give Camp Everfree the money it needs so that it doesn't get shut down?" Flash asked, remembering that part.

"Hmm, how much is the grand prize worth?" Adagio asked with a raised eyebrow.

"More than double what Flash and Sunset and Lucoa needs to fix the car!' Rarity answered with a smirk.

"Wow, I did say it would be nice to see if we can earn the money to fix the car faster this morning." Flash amazed.

"Then I better go get the thing we need for the costume money." Tohru said before opening a portal.

"It'll be right back; I just need to visit Fafnir first." Tohru said and jumped into the portal.

"Fafnir?" Spike confused.

"Remember, Fafnir is an ancient dragon who ground all the gold and jewels and all the treasures he has in a cave for the countless centuries, all untouched except by him and would kill anyone who tries to take his treasure." Lucoa explained about Fafnir.

"Does that include other dragons?" Applebloom asked curious.

"Well, he can be intense most of the time with other dragons, but not to kill them." Lucoa answered.

Suddenly they felt a big earthquake in the room for a few seconds knocking most of the stuff in the music room down and Rainbow Dash look out the window seeing a big puff of smoke that just erupted from a location, and there appears to be some fire within the smoke as the cloud slowly turns into a dragon's head.

"I don't think that means Fafnir liked what Tohru might've said to him." Rainbow Dash pointed at the smoke.

"I think he was also enjoying the video games Micro Chip introduced him to the last time I visited him." Lucoa mentioned.

Twilight started to become worried for her dragon maid lover that she was caught in that explosion even though dragons have very tough bodies and scales, they can still be hurt by other dragons and other means like magical items or other mythical beings like Gods or Demons. She just hopes that whatever she is doing right now, and hope Fafnir is at least in a little friendly mood to hear her out.

"Don't you worry about a thing, Twilight. I know Tohru can be a little up to anger, but that girl has also gotten comfier in this town thanks to you being there with her." Lucoa believed.

"Thanks, I think I needed that." Twilight smiled.

Then a portal opens up in the music room and Tohru jumps out of the room though appears to be covered in slight bruises on her body and her maid uniform is a little rough.

"Hi Twilight, I'm back! Did you miss me so much that you want to kiss me?" Tohru asked with a flirting tone and a wink.

"Yeah, miss you that you've been gone for just almost two minutes." Twilight giggled and kissed Tohru on the kiss, Tohru squeal in joy.

"So, did everything go well with Fafnir?" Twilight asked.

"You could say that, but he said it was okay." Tohru revealed two gold coins in her hand.

"Here you go." Tohru handed Rarity the coins.

"Wonderful! Looks like I have some fabric shopping to do!" Rarity smiled.

"I'm surprised you managed to get Fafnir to let you take something from his treasure cave, you must have done a good negotiation with him." Lucoa said.

"Actually, he said I could only take one thing and I didn't realize I took two of those coins until now." Tohru whispered to Lucoa in the ear.

"Oh, I see. Better keep this to ourselves then. Rarity does look really happy to be making some new dresses for the music video, and I wouldn't want to ruin that for her." Lucoa said.

"Agree, I so want to see Twilight in a new cute dress!" Tohru giggled blushing.
