Tuned Too Low

      After a run in with the filly of his dreams, C.D. finally his arrives to Red's house, where he was he was greeted accordingly.

   "WHERE THE HAY WERE YOU?" Red shouted from the basement. It's amazing how quick he was to assume it was Cee. "I was, uh...At the bakery?" Cee replied trying to think up a lie rather then tell his friends what really happened. You know, to avoid the bashing of question after question.

    "Ha! I told you!" Sky blurted. But went back to being silent and began blushing due to his certain outburst. "Yea, whatever! Hey, did you bring back anything?"

     "I didn't have time to." C.D. said with a snobbish tone. "Because apparently, I was being rushed!" He went down to the basement to find the two sitting about the room. "Hey, Red. Sup, Sky?" Cee went on to greet his friends then proceeded to set up his instrument. "So, are we gonna practice or are you two gonna sit around and hold hoofs all day?" He joked. Red glared at him as he went to his drum set. Skylark, however, looked away from them. Hiding a blush.

     Since there were guitars in they're band, Cee and Sky both stood on they're two back legs. After about a year of doing this, they got to a point where they could stood for hours. They could even jump and walk around as they played. The instruments were completely customized. Sky had a white/purple 'Music Mare' Stingray bass and had stickers of different verities on it. C.D. had a Friender Spellocaster with a dark deep blue finish and also had stickers. Some of which he custom made. Red's drum set was pretty standard. It had a red shell finish and on the face of the bass drum, he crudely drew the bands symbol. Which was a broken c.d..

     "Okay, so what do you guys wanna play? We could do a cover or practice one of our songs for once." Red said with a bit of annoyance in his voice. "We could play that one song. You know, uh...Crap. I forgot what it's called."

     "You mean 'Constellation Proclamation'?" Sky chimed in after returning from his corner. He was holding his bass ready for whatever song they planned to play.

     "*Grrrr* Do we have to play that? I hate that song!" C.D. groaned. Red and Sky exchanged looks of confusion. Then they both shouted in unison. "You wrote it!" "Yeah, but I have the right to dislike it. That song is so cheesy! I only wrote it for my parents anniversary." He reminded. "And be sides, I forgot how It went."

     The song in question, 'Constellation Proclamation' is a song that will haunt Cee till the day he kicks the bucket. He wrote it for his mothers at they're 13 year anniversary. Much to his dismay, everyone loved it! He hates it because of three simple reasons, to him anyway-

1. It's a break up song. About stars.

2. The chords and progression used in it was not original at all.

3.It's also a love song. About STARS.

-sadly, he still plays it and practices it. He sings the song with a bit of a awkwardness to his voice. It has a familiar Pop-Punk sound to it, making it seem less....Sissy-ish. With a steady bass line provided by Skylark and a fast and loud drum beat from Red. Not to mention a okay riff from C.D., the song was okay. It's lyrics weren't offensive or anything, they actually pretty innocent. "Okay, fine. Start the beat, Red." Cee gave up his fight against the song. And then, boom.

      The song begins with a drum beat that sounds fast and could get a party started instantly. The bass comes from out of no where. Slowly, it gets louder and louder. And then, Bang! C.D. comes in with a distortion of chords that almost matched the bass line, while throwing in some octaves. C.D. approached the mic with a sigh and began to sing.

-Verse 1-

"....All across the sky!.....I can see they're reflection in your eyes! Is this a dream or a sleep

induced coma?....

Luna's moon is drawing near!....It used bring me light in this time of fear, but I think that that

position's been Filled! (Been Filled!)

-Pre-Chorus 1-

No gas! No light! Not a damn thing makes you perfect!....Until I look you in the eyes-

*pause*

-Chorus 1-

I sense my heart melt away, come back, and fall into pieces, I have this blush on my face for ALL

the wrong reasons, can't stop myself from shaking, Is my heart really breaking? Or is it another way to say your not going to stay with me?..."

(Instrumental)

-Verse 2-

"....You can go if want to!....Did you think I was gonna stop you?...What the point not like you would even turn around! Just one last thing before you part!....If you could leave my heart by the door that would be great! Also, make sure it doesn't hit you on the flank on your way out!(out....out.)

-Pre-Chorus 2-

No gas! No light! Not a damn thing makes you perfect!..... But you always light up my view-

-Chorus 2-

I sense my heart melt away, come back, and fall into pieces, I have this blush on my face for ALL the wrong reasons, What is this pain that I feel when you turn away? Is this the part where you say that, 'There's a trillion of them up there, but none of them gets to you like me.'....."

-Bridge-

For the first half of the bridge, there were no vocals. There was, however, a moment of the song speed up. All band members were playing till they were red in the face when Sky and Cee start yelling into the mic...

"....My~ Constellation~! My~ Petty Constellation~! My~ Constellation~! My Petty, petty, petty Constellation~!-

-Chorus 3rd and final-

(2x)  I sense my heart melt away, come back, and fall into pieces, I have this blush on my face for ALL the wrong reasons, What is this pain that I feel when you turn away? Is this the part where you say that, 'There's a trillion of them up there, but none of them gets to you like me.'....."

I sense my heart melt away, come back, and fall into pieces, I have this blush on my face for ALL the wrong reasons, as the daybreak comes~ to wash you away~, I smile at the fact that I know: I'll see you later that day~!..."

________________________________________________

When the song ended, it left a silence. A complete and total silence filled the basement. And as each colt looked to each others faces, a laugh broke out between them.

   "Ha! We could be famous one day!" Red shouted in excitement with a grin stretched from ear to ear on his face.

    "Pssh! We ARE famous!....They just don't know that yet." C.D. added.

    "I think we already are famous. I mean, our friends and family and everybody in Ponyville thinks we're pretty good. And that's about good enough for me. I hate attention." Sky added last with a warmful smile. After a brief silence, Cee and Red looked at each other and laughed uncontrollably. Almost falling to the ground! "Dude! Sky! Come on, really! What was with that heart filled statement?" Red said through hit fit of laughter. "Yea, I know you mean well, but just wow!" Cee added.

     Now red with embarrassment, Sky stared down at the two colts. Looking completely unamused. "Hey, Cee? Uh, where were you anyway?" Sky asked.

     C.D. stopped laughing almost immediately. His heart skipped a beat as the spot light closed in on him. "Well, uh, um....." He stumbled on his words.

Man, how do you get in these situations?

      'I'm telling you, Dude. Don't push it.'

*scoffs*Okay, let's see how get yourself out of this mess.

       *sigh*'.....Crap.'

Author's Note

Go ahead. Laugh. I know you want to. Fine! I'll admit it. I wrote the song. Yup. I wrote it last night and then thought, "Hmm....Maybe I could use in one of my stories....." And I did. And I hope you liked it. 'Constellation Proclamation' Is the second song I've ever written. Like, EVER. I only have the guitar part though. I was Originally was going to use 'Waiting' By Green Day. Or 'Short, Fast, and Loud' By Fall Out Boy. But oh well. And don't worry. I'll have 'Just A Scratch' Chapter 4 up soon.

~Be in bed by 10.
