Starting Over

Spectra woke up and found himself in someone's bed. He got up and had a look around and instantly guessed where he was.

'I'm in Twilights bedroom?'

He went up to the door that leads to the main room, he could hear voices coming from the other side. Spectra presses his ear against the door to listen in on the conversation.

He instantly recognized Rainbow's voice.

"I hope he will be alright. I don't know what I would do if he was hurt badly."

Spectra heard Twilight speak up. "Well, I hope you had a great night, except for the fight."

Spectra was about to open the door when he heard Rainbow continue to talk.

"Twilight, I told him I loved him before the fight."

Spectra heard a gasp. "Are you serious? That's wonderful! What did he say after you told him?"

Spectra opens the door, revealing himself to the 2 mares. "I said 'I love you too'."

After the shock of Spectra just suddenly walking in on their conversation, Rainbow walks up to Spectra and looks him in his blood red eyes.

Rainbow grew a massive smile.

"Did you mean it?"

Spectra grabs her in a tight and loving hug. "I meant every word."

Rainbow pulls away and kisses Spectra on the lips.

"Get a room, you two." The couple ignore Twilight and stop kissing. Rainbow looks at Twilight.

"Twilight, could you bring all our friends over here." Like normal Spectra spasms at 'friend'.

Twilight nods. "Sure, Rainbow. You mentioned the deal you made with Spectra and I can't wait to hear his voice."

Spectra blushes. Twilight notices. "Awwww. How cute! He's blushing!"

This just causes Spectra to blush even harder.

Twilight giggles. "Alright, I'll head over and gather them here. See ya in a bit!"

Twilight leaves the library. Rainbow looks over to Spectra.

"I want to hear about the things you did in Manehatten. I wanna know more about my special somepony, even if their history is dark"

Spectra stares off out the window, thinking about whether or not to tell Rainbow and her friends about the types of things he did. 'She deserves to know.'

He looks over at Dash. "Alright, but I'll only talk after playing a song." Rainbow hugs him. "Deal."

-----Twilights Library, 2;22pm-----

The 6 friends were gathered in the main room of the library. Spectra walks in from another room with his guitar on his back.

Spectra turns to face the 6 mares. "I want to tell you all about my life before I came here, just to get it off my chest. But first I'll play a song."

None of them say a word, but watch as he takes a seat, pulls his guitar off his back, and starts playing a song.

After the song was over, everypony cheered and clapped their hooves. Spectra puts the guitar to the side of him.

"The first story I'm gunna tell you is how I got this guitar. The reason it's so special is because this guitar is enchanted. The user can change the type of music the guitar plays to. Be it, electric, country, rock, your choice. Anyway...."

-----Manehatten, Spectra's Apartment, 9 Years Ago-----

A 19-Year old Spectra was lying back on his couch fast asleep. A knock came from the door to his apartment.

"Huh? Who in Celestia's left cutie mark would want me? I've visited all my customers today."

Spectra gets up and opens the door, on the other side of the door was none other then Ed.

Spectra facehoofs. "Ed, I don't know how high you are, but I already gave you your order."

Spectra starts closing the door, until Ed sticks his hoof in the frame.

"Nah, man. Just listen! Me and a few boys have planned a massive robbery! We got some information saying a guitar worth 200,000 bits was coming to town and is to be displayed in Manehatten's mueseum!"

Spectra opens the door and looks Ed dead in the eye. "Look man, that sounds like a pile of horseapples. I mean seriously, why would a guitar be worth that much?"

Ed walks in the apartment with a sly grin. "Man, it has an enchantment on it that makes it so the player can play any type of song. Its priceless to the right sellers."

Spectra nods with a grin. "Ok, I'm in. So what do we do?"

Ed looks left and right, like he was expecting a cop to bounce out from somewhere.

"The guitars name is Mélodie Harmonique, just so ya know. Ok, here's the plan...."

-----Outside The Manehatten Mueseum, Midnight-----

Spectra was waiting for one of the men stealing the Mélodie Harmonique to come out. Spectra's job was the lookout.

Spectra hears the door open and it reveals to be a stallion unicorn wearing a suit that looked like it was for ninja's, while also wearing a mask.

He looks left and right. Behind him encased in a mint green aura. was the guitar. "Ok,now, you take the Mélodie Harmonique and-"

Spectra cuts him off. "Woah what?! Why do I take it?"

The ninja hoofs him the guitar. "Plans have changed."

Spectra grabs the guitar. "Changed how?"

The stallion takes off his mask and grins an evil grin. "Security was chasing me."

And with that he runs off.

It took a minute for Spectra to realize what he just said. Spectra's jaw hit the floor. He looks to the night sky

'Celestia why do you hate me?'

"There he is! Get him!"

Spectra turned to see 3 stallion earth ponies with security uniforms. Spectra turns 180 and sprints as fast as he could. It took him at least an hour of running and being chased by security to realize something. 'Wait a minute. I'm a pegasus. I can fly and- Spectra your an idiot.'

And with that Spectra spreads his wings and flies off, using the darkness of the night as cover, as he flew back to his place.

He lands on the floor, after crashing through his window.

"Thank you, Luna and your night. Without it I would have been bucked."

Spectra sits on his couch and puts the Mélodie Harmonique next to him on the couch.

He got bored so he picked it up out of it's case and got a look at it up close.

"This doesn't look very enchanted." He started strumming randomly, then he started singing 'Master Of Ponies' By Maretallica.

He didn't realize that Ed was in his door way. "So, I take it you like the guitar?"

Spectra jumps up a bit, but grins.

"I think I'm gunna keep it, alright with you?"

Ed nods. "Sure thing, man. What are ya gunna name it?"

Spectra puts his hoof to his chin. "I think I'm gunna call it...."

-----Twilights Library, Ponyville, Present

"...Melody."

Everypony was staring at Spectra the whole time with a look of awe, but now their gazes were on Melody.

Twilight spoke up. "You STOLE the Mélodie Harmonique?! That guitar has been lost for 9 years and it's been here the whole time?!"

Spectra nods. "Yeah, what did you expect me to do? Hand myself in? Twilight, I was only 19."

(Authors Note: who spotted the reference?)

Spectra looks out the window. "Twilight I was young and stupid. I was also scared. Why would I hand myself in?"

Spectra sighs and shakes his head. "We will do this again another time. But for now, it's late. See ya everypony."

After everypony said their goodbyes, Rainbow and Spectra leave the library and head home. Rainbow turned to Spectra.

"Hey, if you want to, we can sleep together in my bed."

Spectra gives her a look that just screams 'Woah slow down there'.

Rainbow laughs. "No I mean we can just hug and sleep."

Spectra punches her in the shoulder jokingly. "Don't get all sappy with me.Sure Rainbow. I'd like that."

The couple get home and head to Rainbow's bedroom. They got under the sheets, and Spectra holds Rainbow in a hug. She kisses him on the cheek. "I'd say 'Pleasant dreams', but..."

Spectra holds her tighter. "Hey, don't worry about the nightmares. I'm sure I'll get over them."

Spectra kisses Rainbow. "Good night."

Spectra falls asleep. He fully expected to have the nightmare, but instead he was in total darkness.

"What the...?" He suddenly hears a strongly deep laugh.

"Oh, Spectra! I haven't seen you in about 26 years. My, my how you have grown..."

Spectra suddenly recognizes the voice. "It's you! The one who laughs in my nightmares! Who are you?!"

Suddenly, a figure materializes in front of Spectra. The being looked like a sort of dragon, but also many other things at once. It had a goat antler, a single fang, a bat wing, just a mess of animal parts.

"Oh, so sorry Spectra. I should re-introduce myself. My name, is Discord."
