Chapter 1 - Plane ride to Equestria

Guitarist in Equestria

Chapter 1: The plane ride to Equestria

“Well today is the day...” I unhappily exclaimed as I was packing away the one thing that I cherished most, my gi0 Ibanez guitar with a green body.

This guitar was practically my lifeblood; I never went anywhere without having some sort of pick or guitar book with me especially on a day where I would be moving from Rochester, MN to Beijing china. Playing on the streets and working in translation for a few years to hone my inner guitar skill, practice Chinese, and then come back to America and form a band.

Guitar was something I had practiced all my life; there wasn’t a day I didn’t play it. In fact my parents could hardly get me off it. Muse was and would always be my favorite band. I would hum their songs when ever I was bored.

And of course there is my special talent, in fact two actually. The talent I was most well known for was my skill with a guitar. Whenever I play I can feel the notes on the strings and just let my fingers and brain take over the rest. And my other talent, the one that only few people knew about was Chinese. I always had a knack for learning new things. I change between interests all the time; one day it will be writing the next it will be a different language, My main quirk .

However one thing was standing in the way of this dream... My fear of flying.

“Come on Sam, You’re gonna’ be late!” yelled my childhood best friend George.

“Yeah, I’m coming” I said.

George and I both spoke fluent Chinese. However he didn’t play guitar. The one thing I always made fun of him about was his Shanghainese accent, and him not playing guitar. I met George in the 6th grade while neither of us really had good friends being I had moved to Rochester when I was in 4th grade, as it is very awkward when you join a class in the middle of the year and dont know anybody. After 2 years of mind numbing, boring, easy classes we finally got to go to middle school where the classes would be more challenging and the teachers cooler. It’s funny now that I think about it. I did terrible in the 6th grade while he got straight A’s. Ah good times...

As we exited my house, with all of our luggage packed in our car we drove to the airport to get on the flight to get to China the fastest. To think that this day in June I would get to move to China and work my dream job while playing guitar all on a scholarship? How awesome is that?

After getting our luggage situated, we boarded the plane 5 minutes early so we could get in our seats before it was impossible to even more down the aisle without being tripped or stepping on someone’s carry-on bag...

“Um, George?”

“What?”

“What is it like in Beijing?” I asked, mind still running through thoughts of my future life and my future home.

“Well... You will see when you get there” he said with a smirk on his face, Which earned him a hard punch to the shoulder.

As more people began boarding the plane it kept getting louder and louder until everyone got what they needed to do done. As we heard the speaker system turn on the pilot of the plane spoke up and said “The plane has finished boarding. We will now be taking off”. After that we finally started making our way to China...

30 Minutes later...

As I’m looking outside the window I odd-shaped figure rocketing towards the plane’s left wing.

“What the buck?” I exclaim with a questioning look out the window.

“Stop using those My Little Pony expressions...” obviously becoming annoyed with my constant use of them while he is around.

“You know that’s not possible, and I could’ve sworn I saw something coming towards the plane.”

”Meh, you must have been hallucinating or somethi-”

BOOM!!!

As that very thing I saw had conected with the plane and went right through the wing leaving a small hole.
Everyone on the plane is screaming like their lives are about to end. There were adults cursing, children crying, and a whole lotta’ screaming. I have my guitar in a case next to me while George has an Ipod touch. My life flashing right before my eyes I think of all the good times in my life like when I got my first guitar, or when I learned my first song. Praying for my life not to end so soon I grasped onto my guitar, both arms shielding it. I try to find a way so that if the plane exploded on impact I would still be alive, so I get under my seat like it’s a school tornado drill with my guitar and hope for the best. So bucked...

CRASH!!!

As soon as the plane hits the ground I can feel my flesh burning as fire races through the plane front to back. After the onslaught of flames engulfed the the cabin I opened my guitar case to find that the mini-amp is safe while my guitar has a lot more dents then it used to have but is still in good condition being that I just survived a bucking plane crash.

I manage to make it outside with the guitar gear that I had with me and take one glance at the surrounding forest and realize it looks... familiar almost cartoonish...
As I pass out from mental and physical exhaustion, I feel a weird sensation almost changing my body while I begin to fade into the blackness. Guitar gear in hand. Friend Dead.

End of chapter 1
This is my first fanfiction, so I would be happy if I could get some constructive criticism on either my style of writing or some format issues please let me know!
Thank you.

Chapter 2 - Where the buck am I?

Guitarist in Equestria

Chapter 2 - Where the buck am I?

“Ugh...why is it so bright...” I manage to say despite how much pain I am currently in.

“Hey guys. It looks like he is awake” says a creepily familiar voice.

Now where have I heard that voice before. I swear it sounds familiar. My body aches so bad. I must be in a hospital but where...

I succeed in opening my eyes, but what I see makes me shut them again.

“Don’t be scared mister, we ain’t gonna’ hurt ya.”

I knew it, I’m in Equestria. Oh dear celestia... I think as I have no clue what do next, until it hits me...

“WHERE’S MY STUFF!” I yell as I jolt upright catching a full view of the mane six, all of them were staring at me as if I had just drank 10 energy drinks... Concern...

:”It’s over there” as Twilight sparkle points near the window I see all of my stuff the same way I left it.
“Thank Celestia...” I say lazily as I plop right back into the resting position I was previously laying in. Holy crap, I’m in equestria. I guess now I have to make a name for myself otherwise the ponies will get suspicious I think trying to make up a name for myself...
How about Pick Strings...? maybe I don’t know I keep thinking about random stuff when one of the ponies say (in one of the most quiet voice I might add...) “Um mister, what is your name? You know if you don’t mind me asking...”

Well, moment of truth time... Oh no what if they get suspicious, WHAT IF THEY DON’T LIKE ME! I panic as everyone is still staring at me (and when people are staring or paying lots of attention to me I get really shy...) oh no not staring... they might as well call me shy strings.. hmm, Shy Strings...

“My name is Shy strings.” I say as quietly as I can.

“Excuse me darling, but could you say that one more time a bit louder.” Rarity asks

When I’m about to say it the second time I see fluttershy looking at me with the cutest damn smile you will ever see. I try to look away from fluttershy but I just can’t, until she speaks up and says “His name is Shy Strings”

Both Fluttershy and I are smiling at each other.

Everyone, and I mean everyone in that room was now looking at Fluttershy and me with D’awwww faces, this makes me blush up as red as an apple.

I hear footsteps or should I say hoofsteps approaching the door, turns out it’s the doctor. In fact... that’s that same doctor from that episode where rainbow dash reads daring do...

“Alright mister” exclaimed the doctor “You don’t seem to have any records here, or as a matter of fact anywhere. We checked Canterlot medical patient archives and you weren’t in there

.”

Crap Sam think, I can’t lie because then Applejack will get suspicious. Come on! think think! THINK
“ Um, well I am a traveling guitar player and this is kinda’ my first time I have been in more than one spot this long” Nice sam, that sure saved you there hopefully he doesn’t ask more questions like that...

“Alright, but now comes the matter of payment” Says the doctor with a still a smile plastered on his face...

I’M BUCKED.

“Don’t worry, Doctor I will take care of it. I mean come on, we find a pony outside the everfree forest burned having no money at all or clear sense of where he is at. The least we could do is pay for his hospital fees and let him sleep in the guest bed at the library for a few days” Says twilight, Wow these ponies really are nice

“Is that ok with you Strings, if I can call you that.”

“Yes Twilight you can call me Strings, I would be very grateful if you would do that.”

“Alright, I guess you are free to go then! oh and about those burn on your back just keep that bandage on for I would say a good 3 weeks” Exclaims the doctor with one of the most genuine doctor smiles.

“Alright Doc.”

And that’s when Pinkie Pie happened...

“ OH WOW A NEW PONY I’M GONNA HAVE TO THROW YOU A PARTY, IT’LL BE CALLED THE “ HEY YOU JUST GOT DUMPED IN THE EVERFREE FOREST WITH BURNS ON YOUR BACK AND GOT TO PONYVILLE PARTY”

“... pinkie”

“ IT’S GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN, YOU AND ME PARTYING ALL NIGHT LONG AND DRINKING HOT SAUCE AND EATING CUPCAKES “

Something struck the wrong chord in my brain when she said "cupcakes"...

“PINKIE!” I shouted as loud as I could physically muster.

“Pinkie you can throw me a party can we just do it later today, I kinda’ want to get all set up at twilight’s tree.”

OH BUCK.

“How did you know I lived in a tree?” She said maliciously, everypony back to staring at me.
Think brain, you got this AND WHAT’S WITH ALL THE THINKING TODAY! hmm......... I got it!

“Who hasn’t heard of Twilight Sparkle the mare that owns a tree library and saved the world of Equestria twice...” I said with a smirk

smirk... Oh no... what happened to george?!?!

“Oh that’s tru-”

“Twilight.”

“Yes?”

“Was there anypony else that was with me when you found me?" I asked wondering if my best freind was still alive.

“No, why was there someone else with you?” she asked with a worried look on her face.

“Nah, just wondering”

GREAT, THIS IS JUST GREAT! I lose my best friend and go to Equestria PLEASE tell me it doesn’t get worse than this

“Alright we should probably get back to the tree now so you can get situated in ponyville” Said twilight.
“Alright...”
Think I gotta’ find a way to call them by their names...

“WAIT!!!!” I exclaim.

“Hmm?” they all say together.

“What are each of your names”? Nice one Sam you have done well.

“I’m Rarity.”

“I’m Rainbow Dash, best flyer in all of Equestria!”

“Ahm Applejack.”

“I’m fluttershy!” Wow. Did she actually say that loud?

“And I know Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle already. Alright I’ll see you guys around” I say as Twilight and I walk to the tree house.

“Is it just me or is Shy kind of cute?” asked Fluttershy

And that’s when Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and RD all dropped their jaws at the same time.

The end of Chapter 2

give me your constructive criticism please!

Chapter 3 - Madness

Guitarist in Equestria

Chapter 3 - Madness

As Twilight and I are walking back to the tree I see many different background ponies from the show such as Berry Punch, Derpy, The Cakes in their store, BonBon, and...HER! dear celestia not Lyra. If she found out who I really was I would be screwed. But I will have to meet her eventually especially since our talents are so closely related...

As we are almost to the tree we pass a mirror shop, I look into one of the display mirrors to see what I look like.

Meh. My hair almost looks like it was back on earth! Lets see... Brown hair curved to one side just above my eyes, almost an Applebloom colored body, green eyes, and a cutie mark of a guitar. In fact that’s my guitar! The same one I came to Equestria with!

Oh crap, I’m a unicorn. How do you explain a unicorn that can’t use magic!

“Amnesia! That explains it!” I exclaim rather loudly in front of Twilight, who I noticed has stopped ever since I started analyzing my new self through the mirror.

“Amnesia? What is it about yourself that you can’t remember?”

Well for starters there is the obvious fact I can’t use magic, then I can’t remember anything before the plane crash... Yeah, that’s it!

“I can’t remember how to use my magic, or remember anything before the incident “ I try to explain to her.

“WHAT!?!? YOU CAN’T REMEMBER HOW TO USE YOUR MAGIC?! OH NO THIS IS TERRIBLE A UNICORN SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO GO POWERLESS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR TALENT DEPENDS ON IT!”

Dear God...

“Oh you poor thing, why are we just standing here? LETS GO!”

“Ugh how long do you think this could take?” I want to get this out of the way early so I can still do what I love in Equestria.

“Well if you are a fast learner then maybe a couple of day, If not I would say about a week. Guitar magic is just some complex levitation, so it shouldn’t take too long”

Well that’s probably the best news I have heard all day...

As we enter the tree library, I smell cooking eggs. After I finish salivating over what I smell Twilight and spike ask me if I want any. I happily accept... and by happily accept I mean get the food in my stomach as fast as physically possible.

“You better slow down or you’re gonna’ get a wicked bad tummy ache” Explains Spike.

What did he just say, I could’ve sworn I heard that in APPLES.MOV.

After thinking about the .MOV series and finish dinner, and dive right into all the books about guitar and levitation spells. Reading everything I can possibly soak into my mind about the mechanisms used, I do the first smart thing. Take notes.

“Wow mister you must really like books!” I hear spike yell out from the second floor of the library.

“I have a name you know...”

“Oh sorry ummm-”

“Shy Strings” I say with a ‘Are you kidding me’ kind of expression.

“Well you don’t seem that shy...”

“I’m only shy when large groups of ponies are watching me...”

“Hahaha. That’s hilarious, a guitar player who is afraid of playing large crowds”

Oh you are going to get it troll dragon...

I manage to chuck a very large book at spike and send him tumbling down the stairs. As he gets up we both started laughing our butts off until we got scolded by twilight for throwing books at each other.

1 hour later...

“Alright.” I say confidence plastered on my face.

I manage to lift up a small device that fits over the neck of the guitar, six small pieces that are meant to all be levitated at the same time to press the frets. On my first try I was able to get the first string’s piece over the third fret, and pluck the string using a simple pick holding device on my dominant hoof.

Crap. Can’t. Hold. For. Much. LONGER.

As my magic wears down the first piece resets back to its place over the neck.

“Well I guess it wasn’t bad for a first try, because you have only been studying for 2 hours. Maybe you should try getting some sleep and try again tomorrow!” Says Twilight.

“Alright...”

Maybe I will be able to move more of the pieces after a good night sleep.

As I climb into Twilight’s guest bed, I start going through everything that has happened today.

I wonder if anyone survived that crash... There has to be more...
I then start humming the song Madness before I finally get knocked out by all the built up fatigue in my body.

I can’t get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of Madness
Has started to evolve
Madness - Muse

Chapter 4 - Survival

Guitarist in Equestria
Chapter 4 - Survival

The next morning...

“Ugh...” I lazily turned on my side. “Why does it have to be morning already?!” I said in a ‘I hate mondays’ kind of fashion.

“Well, I might as well try the levitation technique now that I’m fully rested” I said as I pick up my guitar and tune each of the strings separately by ear using the 6 piece mechanism to play the 5th fret on every string but G. “Good, good, good, flat, sharp, good!” Alright Sam... You can do this, just relax and stay calm. Alright lets start with a basic song, ‘Survival’ nah to complex for a first play, hmm... I GOT IT! Thanks for the memories - Fall Out Boy if they’re even still called that on Equestria.

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren’t so great!
He tastes like you, only sweeter!
One night yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See. He tastes like you, only sweeter!

“Wow. Strings that was amazing! You should play more for me!” Oh dear celestia how long was she standing there! Nevermind that! Ugh I don’t like it when people listen to me with such intent. “Yeah! play more” Spike added.”You sounded amazing! I didn’t know you could sing too!”

“In fact Spike, I kind of surprised myself with that one.” Now to tell them...”But I kinda’ get nervous whenever I have people watch me play, and apparently I can work all six strings only if I’m calm while I do it...”

“Oh we’re sorry Strings...” Both of them looked really sad, It’s like my music literally changed their mood. Weird.

“There is no need to be sorry guys, it’s mostly my fault for being so... what’s the word for it...Shy” I looked at them with an apologetic expression and then decided I need some music from a music store, because even people with great memories can’t keep thousands of songs in their head perfectly...

“Oh, Strings it’s alright. It’s just the way your are, and if you never get over it then we would still appreciate you” D'awwwww. Right in the feels...

“Thanks guys...”

“No problem, anything for a friend”

“So are there any music stores around here?” I asked. Hopefully there was...

“Ah, YES! there is. ‘Vinyl records’ I think they’re open right now if you want to go look.”

“Sweet, I would love too” Hopefully Vinyl Scratch is as badass as she in some of the fanfictions i’ve read... Unsure if that would make a difference I walked outside the front door to the tree house only to see Pinkie Pie wearing a rainbow colored head umbrella.

“Hey Strings, what’s up?” She asked nervously looking up at the sky for some reason, my mind completely oblivious to what this meant.

“Umm, nothing much pinkie what about you?”

And that’s when it happened. Pinkie’s tail started twitching... And we all know what that means...

“Shy GET DOWN!!!” Twilight yelled from inside the treehouse.

OH BUCK.

Let’s just say.. I wasn't fast enough...

CRASH!!!!!
The universe was one cruel mistress, I wasn’t knocked unconscious but close. My head was practically burning from all the pain now rushing through my head.

And of all the things that had to drop on my head... It was a guitar...

“Ow....” I looked up to see three familiar faces Twilight, Pinkie , and of course Derpy the mail mare. Oh my sweet Celestia It’s Derpy... I take back what I said about the universe. THANK YOU UNIVERSE!

“I’m so sorry mister!!!” Derpy said with a worried look on her face.

“Are you ok?” She smiled.

How can you deny saying anything but yes to that smile... The very smile that makes the world spin.

“Yes, I’m fine” I replied. Hoping to start a conversation “What is your name?” I manage to say despite the pain in my horn which I’m surprised hasn’t cracked from that guitar.

“Derpy Hooves, What about you?

“I’m Shy Strings” I reply.

“Well you don’t seem very shy” She laughed. Man do I have to explain this to everypony...

“Only shy when people watch me play the guitar!” I say with a very fake laugh.

“Oh wow! You play the guitar!”

“Hot...” She says silently. “Well I’ll see you tonight Strings!”

Wait what?

“Wait what?” I question. Not knowing a single damn thing that’s going on right now.

“Oh you’ll see...” she says as she flies away.

At the music shop...

“Hey Twilight. What can I do for you and your friend here” Says THE ONE AND ONLY VINYL SCRATCH.

“Do you have any Muse albums?” I ask.

“Who? OH! muse” Thank celestia that there still called muse on Equestria.

“Alright. We got the albums The Pony Resistance, Origin of Ponytry, and Ponylution.”’

You have gotta’ be bucking kidding me...

After Twilight generously purchased me the three albums, Vinyl Scratch offered me a job at the music store starting next week. Maybe living in Equestria isn’t so bad...

One walk back to a tree later...

As I open the door to the library, It’s utter darkness. And as soon as I flip on the lights half (And I’m not exaggerating) HALF of ponyville was here. A makeshift stage with all my guitar gear all set up ready to go. Damn you Rainbow Dash and your knowledge of guitars...
“SURPRISE!!!!!” everypony screams at the top of their lungs.

“NOW GET UP ON THE STAGE” screamed by none other than Lyra Heartstrings.

As I am pushed up to the stage, I’m scared crapless. The greatest amount of people I’ve ever played for was five or so people.

Do or Die time Strings...

As I pick up my guitar and plug it into the amp everypony in the library goes silent, As the song ‘Survival’ starts playing. Lucky for me the first part is symphonic, and has no guitar. But the second part contains a lot of shredding.

Finally after two minutes of violins and finger snapping, I start shredding to the song like there was no tomorrow lyrics racing through my head.

I’m gonna win
Race, it’s a race
But I’m gonna win
Yes I’m gonna win
And will light the fuse
I’ll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won’t ṗull ahead
I’ll keep up the pace
And I’ll reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes I’m gonna win
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!
Yes I’m gonna win!

After that I heard everypony in the room chanting my name.

Lyra nodding of approval.

Derpy going ballistic.

And the mane six cheering me on.

And that’s when I fainted...

The end of Chapter 4

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, my heart was racing while making this!

Chapter 5 - Lyra’s wise words of wisdom Part 1

Guitarist in Equestria
Chapter 5 - Lyra’s wise words of wisdom Part 1

“Ugh, how come I keep waking up with a terrible headache...” I try to get out of my bed while I’m still half asleep, being quite to prevent anyone from hearing me go down stairs. And right as I walk out the door to my room I see the mane six all asleep on the floor, Either they stayed here all night worrying about me, or these mares know how to party!

After deciding that it was time for everyone to get up (8:17 Eh, close enough...) I started cooking breakfast. And let me tell you, when you don’t have opposable thumbs/fingers in Equestria it’s bucking HARD to cook decent food. I was planning on making the simplest thing I could, fried potatoes and eggs. There is no way these ponies wouldn’t like this, this breakfast is GODSEND! Now... To get them to wake up... I could either wake them up myself or let the scent of breakfast wake them up. To bad the only person that woke up from that last reason was Spike.

Bucking perfect, Tactical jealousy inbound...

“Hey! What are you doing cooking.” He said with face filled with rage, well not rage... maybe anger? I don’t know not really a difference.

“I didn’t want to wake up the girls myself so I thought the scent of cooking would wake them up, but it only worked with you” I laughed, unfortunately my laugh managed to wake everyone in the room up. They would have been pissed too, but breakfast kind of solved that issue.

“Hey who’s makin’ breakfast?” Said Rainbow with a tone of voice that represented to me ‘ Where is the breakfast, I’m going to eat it all!’

They all looked over to see who was doing the cooking, and of course they see Spike and I making some fried potatoes and eggs. Now don’t get me wrong, mares love it when you cook for them. Except for when you fainted the night before and hit your head on a hard wooden floor, and is walking around freely like nothing happened.

“Strings!” Fluttershy screams at me.

Oh shi-

“Now you listen here, go back to bed and get some rest to let your head recover from your performance last night. NOW!” Geez, talk about assertive... Figuring it would be best if Fluttershy didn’t go rage on my ass, I walked back to my room with a plate full of food on my back.

“Enjoy my breakfast you guys” I manage to say before you-know-who Fluttershy Slams my door, surprisingly enough not breaking it...

“WE WILL!” I hear them shout through door.

Dear celestia I hope this day gets better... As I drift of to sleep.

Later mid-day...

I was getting attacked by all the mares in ponyville for being a guitarist...
And then I woke up...

“OH MY GOD THEY’RE GONNA’ KILL ME!” I shout at the top of my lungs. Then I realize it was just a dream, as I’m about to plop my head down back on the pillow Fluttershy slam through the doors with a frying pan. Assuming it’s midday from the Sun, I figure I can stand up. After I explain to Fluttershy that I was having one of the best/worst nightmares (hehe night-mares You see what I did there) of my life.

“Well alright now, but you take it easy ok?” God it’s like her personality converts to being assertive when someone is either hurt or been hurt, I’m gonna’ have to make a note about not to get hurt near Fluttershy again...

As I walk out the door to my room, I see Derpy chillaxin’ on the couch eating a muffin. I see her smile at me before she tells me I’ve got mail. Mail? I didn’t order anything...

“It’s from... a... Lyra Heartstrings. It’s a letter” Either this is going to be the worst day of my life or the best... “Oh and Strings, could we maybe. I don’t know... Go on a date later?”

…

I had never been on a date despite me being a great guitar player, and I was really bad at talking to girls. I bet you could guess why. “Um.. I-uh ah” Well at least that statement earned me a cute laugh.

“Oops, I can’t be late for another mail delivery. I talk to you later Stringy” Unbelievable. I just got asked out on a date, while getting a death sentence letter from Her... With all of these thoughts racing through my head, I realize Fluttershy is still standing right next to me.

“Strings, I’m going to give you five seconds to RUN.”

Dear Banana Queen of Trolling why have you cursed me?

With that last sentence from Fluttershy, I grab the note and bolt out the door as fast as I can into the nearest ponyville alleyway. I unroll the scroll with my magic reading the letter.

Dear sam
As you may have already noticed half the mares in ponyville are crazy for guitar players such as yourself, for your own protection I recommend that you come to my house immediately. I also have some stuff I want to show you about playing the guitar, my last name has Strings in it too you know... Anyways good luck getting here without being swarmed by mares.
From your new coach - Lyra Heartstrings

GREAT, so my greatest nightmare is actually true... Buck you universe.

FLASHBACK ENGAGED

“Hey Shy, I found a spell that I think you would like to learn. It’s fairly basic and perfect for your personality” Twilight happily said. Eager to teach me as many spells as she could fit into my brain.
“What kind of spell” I ask questioningly. Hopefully even for a basic spell it takes a short amount of time. “It’s an invisibility spell” she said.

FLASHBACK DISENGAGED

Well here we go, first time is the charm right? RIGHT? I perform the spell and realize what twilight said after I learned it and I quote ‘ It only last for 30 seconds ‘ OH CRAP!

I run as fast as I can till I see a house with Lyra’s cutie mark on it, and as soon as I knock on the door guess what wears off... “There he is!’ I hear one mare scream. As mares are about to surround me and completely rip me to shreds, a cyan-green colored hoof pulls me inside.

“Oh thank the Banana Queen...” I say relieved of what had just happened. “The invisibility spell only worked for 30 seconds...” As I finish saying this, she slaps me. HARD.

“OW! , what was that for!” I ask like I have done nothing wrong.

“For nearly breaking my door down!”

“Oh, sorry about that.”

“Now come, we have much to learn” Lyra says in a Yoda style voice, Nah I must be imagining things, it’s like she was talking like Yoda...

The end, hope you people enjoyed!
Comment below, Yo!

Chapter 6 - Lyra finds out...

Guitarist in Equestria
Chapter 6 - Lyra finds out...

“So... Where are we going?” I ask as Lyra is taking us lower and lower into the ground beneath her house. “Because right now I’m getting creeped out by the fact that you have a house with 100 feet of downwards stairs...” This earns me another slap from the human-loving unicorn.

“Just stop asking questions will you...” she says as I can see the stairs about to end. As we reach the door at the end of the hallway she speaks up “Alright, what you are about to see here is the greatest thing you will ever see in your life. No. Questions. Asked. And you must promise never to tell anypony about this, or I will make your life miserable.”

My jaw is dropped after she said that. I completely didn’t expect that... and to think a unicorn pony in the background of a kids show was this hardcore...

“I’m just kidding, you know that right?” Oh please Lyra, I’m watching you... “Ok, you ready?” I wonder what it’s going to be hopefully somethi- I stop dead in my tracks as she opens the door, because what I saw was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life...

Holy buck...

I see dozens of guitars lining a marble tiled room, guitars from every guitar maker imaginable. Gibson, Les Paul, Ibanez, Fender, Squire, Manson. The whole shabang... The room of my dreams and Lyra had it all.

“Oh my God...” I mutter. Still awe-struck from all the guitars in this one room. “Lyra, how did you get all these guitars?” I look back and I don’t see anyone. “Lyra?” “LYRA!” meh, she must have gone upstairs but I wonder why...

I hear her come back down with an amp in her magical grasp. As she drops it in the middle of the room she plugs it into the wall and flips it on.

“Go on, pick a guitar any guitar. It’s time to test you...” what? a test?

“Alright” I levitate the Manson from its perch, and plug it into the amp, after checking the volume to make sure it was extra loud I say “What do you want me to play?”

“Play 64th notes. continuously. for 30 seconds. I realized you were having trouble with picking speed and magical ability, so I thought being the amazing pony that I am I would help you.” Oh Lyra you’re too modest...

Alright, here goes nothing! And that’s exactly what happened. NOTHING. My hooves couldn’t even move that fast. I turn around to see Lyra staring at me, not with a look of disappointment in her eyes but ‘I’m going to kill you’ look. “Um Lyra is somethi-”

“Why...”

“What?” Ok is everypony in this world bucking crazy today, or is it just me?

“Why didn’t you tell me you were a human...” OH SCHIST.

“I’m not a-” I try to explain, but am immediately cut off by Lyra. “Yes you are, the expression ‘ Oh my God’, lack of actual talent involving your hooves.” Dear god, she knows... what do I do now? oh celestia she walking towards me! oh n-

After closing your eyes hoping the next few minutes weren’t going to be painful, I feel somepony wrapping their arms around me. “I thought I was the only one...” she says with tears coming out of her eyes.

I look at her dead on in the face with tears in my eyes as well, we continued the hug for what seemed like hours. After she broke the hug her mood flopped...

WHAM!!!

She hits me in the face as hard she could. “ WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?! UGH DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I’VE BEEN HERE ALONE? TWO YEARS FOR BUCK SAKE!”

“Lyra...”

“WHAT DO YOU WANT.” she pushes me to the ground pinning all my legs, despite all the pain surging through my head and the places she has her legs standing on mine I manage to say something. Red spreading to my face from the awkward position we are in I say “ Lyra I’m really sorry for not telling you earlier, I’m being genuinely sincere. Now could you please get off me before you break my legs?

“Sorry I might’ve overreacted there.” You dont say... “I’m going to be your guitar trainer, first what your going to do tomorrow when you get back from the hospital, is pick a fast as you can for at least one minute and keep doing it till you hit the 64th note mark.” “Any questions?”

“Just one...” I ask in fear of my own health “ Why am I gonna’ be in the hospital?”

“Because the Invisibility spell can’t be used more than a few times a day, and what, you used it about 30 minutes ago? And plus I think some of the mares are still out there.”

“And I don’t have a back door.” she whispers to me with smirk on her face.

“Buck...”

next chapter delayed / Sneak peak at next chapter

Sorry guys I have to delay this next chapter because my friends and I are writing and recording music from MLP:FiM and normal song covers. So here you guys go, the letter from the next chapter by Princess Celestia. Enjoy!

Dear, Sam

It is my responsibility for bringing you to Equestria, There have been many riffs appearing linking earth to Equestria due to a Discord's antics from a while back..

I suggest that you notify all of the current friends you've made ( Including but not limited to the six Elements Of Harmony ).

Luna and I will inform you upon your arrival to the castle. Apparently their are more "bronies" than you in Equestria at the moment. However since you were the first to arrive due to these recent events, you and I shall work out a solution.

I wish you well and hope to see you soon - Princess Celestia of Equestria

The chapter chapter WILL be out on Sunday evening 8:00 Central time!
