Chapter 7: Crazy Train
Tonight was opening night for the new ride, and also the night for Of Sorrow And Harmony to perform for the first time. Spike, Princess Luna, and even Rainbow Dash and Slash was nervous but they did a good job in not showing it.
"Well, tonight's the night." Spike said.
"Yes…it is." Princess Luna said.
"Hey come on everypony, we're going to do great I know it!" said Slash.
"That's right," said Rainbow Dash. "If Slash believes we can do it, then I know we can do it!"
"Always the positive pony you are, Dash."
"You know it!"
"Well come on, we better get to the show."
The band got their instruments and went to the location where the new ride was going to open. Once they got there, they saw a huge crowd of ponies. All ready to ride the new roller coaster and to hear some music. There was a little stage next to the entrance of the ride Crazy Train where the band would perform. They then saw Pinkie Pie back stage with another pony, she was telling them to come over here.
"There're you guys are!" said Pinkie Pie. "I like to introduce you to the owner of the ride, Filthy Rich!"
"You're the owner of this ride, Filthy?" asked Spike.
"Yes and don't call me that." Said Filthy Rich.
"But that's your name." said Slash.
"Just call me Mr. Rich."
"So you're a teacher?"
"No! I just want ponies to call me that."
"But you're not a teacher."
"I know I'm not."
"Are you adopted?"
"What? No!"
"Then why-"
Rainbow Dash then put a hoof over this mouth, telling him to just stop it. And Slash did actually stay quiet.
"Are you ponies ready to perform?" asked Filthy Rich.
"Yes, Mr. Rich, we are." Princess Luna said.
"Then get on stage and show these ponies a good time."
Filthy Rich then left backstage and went to the crowd to see the band perform. Ponies started to get on the roller coaster and were going to be the first to ride Crazy Train. Meanwhile in backstage, the band all looked at each other. They knew this was it. They all gave each other a nod and went on stage. But all of a sudden Rainbow Dash was stopped by Slash.
"Hey Dash," said Slash.
"Yes?" Rainbow Dash.
"I just wanted to wish you luck, and I also wanted to say…that this time I've spent with you was a really good time. I'm very glad I met you."
"Thanks Slash…I feel the same way about you."
"Really?"
"Yeah…Really."
Slash then leaned in and gave Rainbow Dash a kiss on the lips. Rainbow Dash was just surprised.
"What was that for?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"For luck." Said Slash.
Slash went on stage with a big smile on his face. Rainbow Dash was still surprised, but quickly snapped out of it and went on stage with him. Big crowd of ponies met them. Just about everypony in Poneville were there. Slash went up to the microphone stand and stared to talk in front of the crowd.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, are you ready for the Crazy Train?" asked Slash.
All the ponies stomped and cheered for the band and the ride Crazy Train.
"I can't hear you!" said Slash once again.
All the ponies stomped and cheered even louder now for the band and the ride Crazy Train.
"Well alright then! Of Sorrow and Harmony is about to play a little song for all of you called Crazy Train!"
The song began, and so did the ride Crazy Train with the ponies in there ready for the ride of their life.
All aboard! Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa!
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
After the intro with the bass and drums played by Spike and Luna, Rainbow Dash played the guitar intro and just like Slash thought, she was doing great! The whole and started to play together now.
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's Go!
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One pony's conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah, yeah, yeaaah!
Rainbow Dash started to play the guitar solo now. Going super faster speed, only the speed a great heavy metal guitar player could go. Slash was looking on how she was doing. He was really happy, just head banding to the solo. Rainbow then finished the solo; she was now done with the hard part of the song. And the rest of the band just went on with the song, rocking out! Slash rocking the microphone, Rainbow Dash rocking the guitar, Princess Luna rocking the bass, and of course Spike rocking the drums!
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Aww yeah!
The band played the outro of the song, and finished on a strong note! The song was now over. All of the ponies stomped and cheered once again for the band. They loved the show and the way they played. The ride Crazy Train was now over, with all of the ponies inside all dizzy, manes all messed up. And of course Pinkie Pie all happy and saying,
"Woo! One more time!" Pinkie said with her mane all messed up.
The band give one bow together to the crowd and once more, the ponies all gave them a cheering stomping. But then Pinkie Pie ran on staged grabbing the microphone.
"And my friend Rainbow Dash wants to ask Slash a question!" said Pinkie Pie.
"A question?" asked Rainbow Dash.
Pinkie Pie whispered into Rainbow's ear telling her what she wants to ask Slash. Dash blushes and was telling her no way! But Pinkie did not take no for an answer. She gave her the microphone and pushed her into Slash, with now both ponies face each other. Rainbow Dash didn't want to ask Slash the question, but now she knew it was either now or never.
"Sooo, Slash. I was wondering…" Rainbow Dash stopped for a moment. "Wondering if you would…like to…go on a…date."
Slash let out a big smile, and got even closer to Rainbow Dash's eyes, which she, once again, got lost in them. Slash then broke the silence.
"Sound good. How's tomorrow night?" asked Slash.
"S-sure!" said Rainbow Dash.
"See you then."
Slash then left the stage, and Rainbow Dash just became the happiest pony in the world. All happy that she finally got a date with Slash. But what she didn't know, all the ponies in Ponyville know it now since she asked right on stage. Rainbow Dash was embarrassed. She got her guitar and flew off. She was still embarrassed, but didn't care. She finally got a date with Slash.
Author's Note: The song used in this chapter was called "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne.
