A Journey Of A Musician
The Submission
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThree days after 'The Confession'
Today was the day.It was time to make the song and submit it to the contest judges.Jeron stood outside his house,waiting for everypony.He lit and smoked a cigarette while waiting.Angus was the first to arrive.Hey Angus."
"Hey Jeron,wait,you smoke?"Angus replied.
"Yeah,why?"
Angus shrugged"I don't know,I just never thought of you as a smoking kind of pony,so,what's up?"Jeron lowered the cigarette and spoke.
"Well,Eliah and I are going out on Saturday,so that's exciting."Replied Jeron.
"Do you mean,like on a date?"
"Yep."Jeron said,smirking.Eliah and Borous arrived fifteen minutes later.They talked for about five minutes before Alec showed up instantly."I'm not late,am I?"Asked Alec
Jeron shook his head"No,we're not really timing anyone to get here.But enough waiting,let's get to making that song."Said Jeron as he gestured everypony into the house.Eliah and Jeron were the last to walk in."Don't forget about that date on Saturday."Said Eliah as she kissed him on the cheek."How could I forget?"Replied Jeron.He let her enter first and he followed,closing the door behind all of them.They all went down to his basement.After everypony's instruments were ready,and Jeron turned on his recorder,Alec started playing his guitar,accompanied by Jeron's.After about twenty seconds of instrumentals,he began singing.
"White walls around us-"
"No light will touch your face again-"
"Rain taps the windows,as we sleep among the dead-"
"The days go on forever,but I have not left your side-"
"We can chase the dark together-"
"If you go,then so will I-"
"There is nothing left of you-"
"I can see it in your eyes-"
"Sing the anthem of the angels-"
"And say the last goodbye-"
"I keep holding on to you-"
"But I can't bring you back to life-"
"Sing the anthem of the angels-"
"And say the last goodbye-"
After they finished that part of their song,they stopped and Jeron turned off the recorder."Alright,I just need to go to the post office and send this recording and we'll be good to go!"He exclaimed.They all high hoofed and Alec spoke."Hey guys,do you want to hang out for a while more or are you guys busy?,and maybe we can think of some lyrics for some more songs."
They all thought it was actually a pretty good idea so they all stayed at Jeron's house for about five hours.It was starting to get dark."Well guys,it's been fun,but I gotta roll."Said Borous."Okay,see ya later,oh and I'll tell you if anything for the contest comes up an-OH SHIT!"exclaimed Jeron as he had remembered something important."What is it,Jeron?"asked Eliah,in a confused and afraid voice."We have to have a name for our band before we submit the tape!Do any of you have any ideas?"he asked.They all shook their heads except for Alec."How do you like 'Rockers Of Equestria' "suggested Alec with a little bit of 'visionary'in his voice.Jeron pondered the name."Rockers Of Equestria,hmmmm...wow,I actually like that,good idea Alec."
Jeron turned to look at Alec,who had a triumphant grin on his face.Jeron snickered at his reaction and waited for everypony's feeling of the band name.They all made a thumbs up with their gauntlets."Then,R.O.E. it is."he said."Does anypony else have to go?We could fit in a little bit of singing."Eliah immediately said"I can stay!"Eliah just simply loved to hear Jeron sing with the high and low notes he could reach..Jeron smirked."Well,somepony's excited,so,does anypony else want to stay?"he asked.
"Sorry,but I have to get to work early tomorrow."said Borous in an aplogetic voice."It's fine."replied Jeron."And I'm really tired,I'm gonna go on home."Alec commented."Same here."added Angus as he yawned."Bye."they all said in unison.Jeron snickered at the slight coincidence.Angus,Borous,and Alec walked upstairs to the front door.When they left,Jeron asked Eliah"Why were you so excited to stay here?"Eliah blushed slightly"Well,I love the high and low notes you can hit when you sing,it always seems impossible when I try to do that."
Jeron smiled when he heard that."Wow,thanks for saying that,you know what,I've never heardyou sing before,I bet it's awesome."
"Are you flirting with me,Jeron?"asked Eliah with a smirk.He chuckled."Maybe."they both laughed and Eliah snuggled up to Jeron."I'm excited about Saturday."said Eliah as she nuzzled him."Me too,it's gonna be awesome."he replied.They stayed there,nuzzling and such.The singing could wait,they wanted to spend some actual time together.
