I slumped on the bleachers and watched Snips and Snails performance. Worst thing I’ve ever seen. Can’t even remember their own lyrics.

“Like an orange, yo!” I rolled my eyes and smirked at Lavender Lace hiding a giggle behind her hand. My eyes flicked to Pinkie bobbing her head enthusiastically.

“How can she like this?” Sea Swirl asked, following my gaze.

“Fuck if I know.” I shrugged and Berry giggled.

“This so awful.” She mumbled and Banana nodded.

“You’re gonna mess up your back if sit slumped like that all the time.”

I gave Banana the middle finger and she laughed.

I watched Snips and Snails exit the stage and say something to the Rainbooms.

“Why the hell are they excluding Sunset? I angrily demanded as I pointed a finger where Sunset was waiting off to the side with a dog. I waved to her and gestured for her to come sit with us. She quickly bounded down the stairs and over to us, holding the dog.

Berry gave her a kiss as she sat down and we watched the Rainbooms performance.

I sighed as I picked up my guitar. We had just knocked out Bulk Biceps, so we were feeling pretty good. Sunset had to go back and babysit the Rainbooms. Currently, Trixie was up on stage and finishing her song. Apparently the Dazzlings were next. I still don’t know their names, I don’t think anyone does.

“I kinda hate how good Trixie sounds.” I grumbled.

“Yeah, me too. As if she wasn’t arrogant enough.” Sea Swirl agreed.

“At least Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon didn’t make a band. Their egos are already inflated enough as is.”Berry snorted at that and gave a grin.

“Please, their mom’s would pay off Celestia and Luna to have their daughters win.” Berry scoffed. I had to agree with her there, that’s exactly something their moms would do.

“We’ve got the song that makes you move, got the song that makes you lose it. We say jump, you say how high. Put your hands up to the sky.”

“When did they even start singing?” I asked, feeling my head swaying.

“I....don’t know.” Sea Swirl admitted, her body doing the same as me and Berry’s. I don’t even know when we got to the gym floor. I felt the typical anger and competitiveness I’ve been feeling since they arrived.

“I hate you!” I heard Starlight scream at Flash. A tap on the shoulder got my attention and I spun to Blueberry Cake standing there. I shoved her hand off.

“Get your dirty hands off me.” I snapped and she smirked.

“Aren’t you the definition of dirty? Considering what you did to the school, you’re the worst part of this school.” She taunted and now I was behind angry. “Surprised Sea Swirl still cares about you.”

I swung a fist and connected with her stomach. She staggered back in shock and I felt two pairs of hands grabbing my shoulders.

“She ain’t worth it, Shoe.” Berry grunted out as she held me back.

“Yeah, fuck her. She’s just mad her sister died from an overdose.” Sea Swirl snapped as she held my other shoulder. My legs kicked out as I struggled to get away. Looking across the gym, I could see Lyra and Bon Bon holding Derpy back from attacking Bulk Biceps. Bon Bon had a terrified expression on her face and Lyra appeared to be gritting her teeth. I’ve never seen Derpy that angry before. Glancing back, Sea Swirl had the same scared expression Bon Bon did. Blueberry glared at us and Banana kicked her in the knee. Blueberry took off after seeing she was outnumbered. The Dazzlings stood on the stage with smiles at the fighting.

The fighting ended pretty quickly and it was quiet again. I was standing in between Octavia and Flash. Flash was so annoying, it’s not even funny. Wish I could fight him but Sea Swirl would kill me if I did. It made me very happy seeing him and his band get knocked out. Oh lord here comes the Rainbooms. I was worried about Sunset, standing off to the side with Spike. She looked upset about something. If the Rainbooms had said anything about her past, it was over for them.

”Hey! awesome as I wanna be! Rainbow started singing and I groaned. This song was all about her and her over the top ego.

“Kill me now,” Sea Swirl moaned. I smirked and gave her a kiss.

“I can’t kill my girlfriend,” I teased. “I’d go to jail. Besides I’d be lonely.” Sea Swirl rolled her eyes and punched my shoulder.

“That’s not what I meant.”

”Hey! awesome as I wanna be!First you see me riding on a sonic boom, got my guitar shredding up my latest tune. There is nothing you can do to beat me. I’m so good that you can’t defeat me. Yeah, I’m awesome, take caution. Watch out for me, I’m awesome as I wanna be. Yeah! I’m awesome, take caution. Watch out for me, I’m awesome as I wanna be!” All the lights on stage focused on Rainbow and her guitar solo. I smirked at the angry expressions of her band mates and sighed when Rainbow started to pony up.

“She’s so egotistical,” Banana grunted. Out of nowhere, Sunset tackled Rainbow and the guitar went flying and landed in Pinkies drums and she screamed. All the lights came on and it was silent.

“There’s the bad girl we love to hate!” Flash shouted and I wanted to kill him even more.

“Oh yeah Sunset Shimmer is back!”

“I knew she was still trouble!” Octavia pointed her cello stick thing. I didn’t know what it was called. At this point, I had no patience and swung, connecting with her stomach. Octavia gave a pained cry and fell to her stomach.

“Take that bitch. Watch what your say about Sunset!” I growled and smirked at her fearful expression. Sea Swirl grabbed me and I groaned.

“She deserves it but we gotta get to Sunset and make sure the Raingoos don’t fuck with her!” She started pulling me to the stairs, Berry and Banana already running to them. I took them three at a time and surprised myself. Didn’t think I could do that.

“What was that!?” Rainbow shouted, glaring at Sunset.

“You were showing them your magic! I didn’t know what to do!” Sunset exclaimed.

“Unplug her amp? Close the curtains? Give US a chance to deal with the situation!” Rarity snapped.

“I just wanted to help,” Sunset mumbled.

“Yeah well you didn’t!” Rainbow said coldly. I forgot what happened next, mainly due to shock. Sea Swirl took a deep breath and tackled Rarity with Berry punching Rainbow in the face.

“Kick her ass, Sea Swirl!” I encouraged. “She shouldn’t be a dick to her so called friend. They don’t care about us!” Rarity tried to put her hands up to protect herself but Sea shoved them aside and punched her in the face. Rainbow was being held back by her arms by Banana and I as Berry punched her repeatedly in the stomach and face. It would have been impossible to hold Rainbow back under normal circumstances but she was shocked so we easily overpowered her. Sunset grabbed Berry and pulled her back. Applejack and Fluttershy pulled us off Rainbow. That left Sea Swirl who kept swinging on Rarity who was bleeding from the nose and mouth at this point. Twilight pulled her back gently as Rarity spit out some blood.

“Are yall done?” Applejack demanded as we squirmed in her grip.

“Let me go!” I demanded and tried to kick her knee.

“Nah. Ah will if you say you’re done and won’t fight anymore.”

“Fine. You guys deserved it though,” I scoffed. “Show Sunset some fucking respect, you inbred hick.” Applejack took a deep breath and released us, nodding at Twilight who let Sea Swirl go.

“It’s our turn to perform now go away!” I snapped. Nodding they left the stage and Banana took up her spot at the microphone. I picked up my guitar as Berry sat down at her drum set and Sea Swirl stepped to the second microphone. How we got a new drum set so quick was beyond me. That’s some theater magic shit.

”And you’re really crazy, you know that? You get depressed at the end of a long day. You wanna drown yourself in a strong drink. ‘Cause the world make ya feel like a zombie. Kinda feel like you might freak out,” Sea Swirl softly as I started to play the guitar in perfect sync with Berry.

”Can’t stand how things got so fucked. Can’t rip a band-aid off a bad break up. You don’t know how you’re ever gonna move on. Let me tell you somethin’, you ain’t the only one nah,” Banana Bliss took over.

”Ain’t it the way life goes?Shit hits the fan I know. One day we’re gonna kick that bucket.So cut loose, just say “fuck it”. Forget about the way it makes you feel. Life’s too short if I’m being real. One day we’re gonna kick that bucket. So ‘til then, just say “fuck it,” they sang in unison.

”Didn’t get picked, didn’t get your big break and some real prick’s rubbing it in your face. Kinda sucks when jealously hits you hard, like a four-door car and on over your heart. Are you living in a dream or nightmare? Wanna stand up and scream, what do I care? Sing this shit like a mantra, middle finger’s up, I got ya.”

”Ain’t it the way life goes?
Shit hits the fan I know. One day we’re gonna kick that bucket. So cut loose, just say “fuck it”. Forget about the way it makes you feel. Life’s too short if I’m being real, one day we’re gonna kick that bucket. So ‘til then, just say “fuck it”. Fuck it, man.”

”Let me think about it, nah fuck it.” I was really surprised Sea Swirl agreed to cuss this much in a song. She rarely cussed.

”Ain’t it the way life goes?
Shit hits the fan I know. One day we’re gonna kick that bucket. So cut loose, just say “fuck it”. Forget about the way it makes you feel. Life’s too short if I’m being real. One day we’re gonna kick that bucket, so ‘til then, just say “fuck it.”

”Yeah, we’re gonna kick that bucket. One day we’re gonna kick that bucket. So cut loose, just say “fuck it,” Sea Swirl finished. I was actually kinda scared being up here. A loud clapping sound came from Sunset and Rainbow and we stared at them in shock.

“What?” Rainbow shrugged at her fellow band mates. “It was a fire song. I like how Berry played the drums and Shoeshine played the guitar at just the right times in unison. Banana and Sea Swirl had great vocals.” Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna stepped out of a room with the Dazzlings.

“The three bands going to the finals are Warriors, The Rainbooms and The Dazzlings!” The gym burst into angry screaming and I highfived my band mates and hugged Sea Swirl.

“You did great!” I grinned and Sea Swirl blushed.

“We all did good,” Banana smiled. “Thank you for this opportunity.”

“No problem,” Berry hugged her.

“Let’s go celebrate,” Sea Swirl announced. We all looked at each other and grinned. I decided to speak for us all at that point.

“We’re in.”
