Twilight dashed inside her house and slammed the door shut behind her.

"Whew" She sighed, slumping against the door.

'THUD…THUD…THUD…' came the loud noise from the door behind her.

"Oh, no…" Twilight said in a hushed voice.

"Hi Twilight!" Spike called through the open window to her left.

"Aww! Fine, you got me. I'm it." Twilight surrendered.

"You know, for the record, indoors is cheating when you're playing Pony Tag." Spike said clambering up the stairs.

"Yeah, yeah. Hey, where are you going, Spike?" Twilight asked.

Oh, uh, nowhere…" Spike responded nervously and quickened his ascent.

Twilight just shrugged and walked over to her desk.

A moment later…

Twarkle9 logged in

"Hello, everypony!" Twarkle9 typed in her traditional greeting.

"Hello, Twilight." Shutterfly responded.

A message appeared from SpiketheMagicDragon. It read, "Hey, Twi!".

"Spike? I didn't know you got on here… and what's with your name?" Twarkle9 asked.

"Oh, it's a joke off of, well, ah, never mind. You wouldn't understand."

"What's up, Twilight?" Another message popped up on Twarkle9's screen.

"Yaay! Another pony joins the party! :D" PinkyPartyPony posted.

"Does anypony want to come over and help me bake a cake? That somepony could lick the batter bowl! :P" PinkyPartyPony typed out before anypony could respond.

"Ohmygosh, I don't have any more sprinkles! :O" PinkyPartyPony typed.

"Pinky Pie! Enough with the emoticons!" Dashitall blurted out, nearly yelling at her screen.

"Fine :(" The response dinged on Dashitall's screen.

"So, Twilight, are you coming to Ponyville Rockfest?" Dashitall asked, steering the conversation away from emoticons.

" Ponyville Rockfest? What's that?" Twarkle9 responded. She had never heard of it. It's true, she had not been around all that long, but she thought she had a pretty good grip on the goings on in Ponyville.

"Rockfest is coming to Ponyville? Alright!" SpiketheMagicDragon typed excitedly.

Spike yelled down the stairs of the library to Twilight, "Hey! Twilight! The Rockfest is coming to Ponyville!".

"I know, spike. I'm in the chat with you." Twilight responded dryly. The ding of a new message caught Twilight's attention again.

"Oh, oh, oh! I'm going! I've already got my tickets!" PinkyPartyPony's message appeared on the screen.

"Rockfest is only the most awesome, greatest, most epic rock festival ever! It's 20% cooler than any other concert! Some of the bands that are going to be there only ever play big cities like Canterlot. Now we get to see them here! Imagine, HoofStomp and Plain Pegasus rocking out on the same stage! I might just faint." Dashitall explained in a single message that took up nearly half a page.

"Lemme guess, would you like me to come with you, Dash?" Twarkle9 typed, a knowing smile appearing on her face.

"Pleeeeeeeessseeeeee?" Came Dashitall's imploring request.

"Yes. I'd be happy to. :)" Twarkle9 typed.

"Oh, I see, SHE can use emotowhatevers, but I can't?" PinkyPartyPony typed, seeming frusterated.

"Calm down, Pinky. So, Fluttershy, do you want to come?"

"Oh, um, I'm not sure it's my kind of music. I prefer classical music, most of the time."

"Come on, we need to get you into the bigger world of music, Fluttershy." Dashitall declared.

"I don't know…" Shutterfly's message appeared on the screen.

"Fluttershy, you don't have to come if you don't want to, but, if you do, know that we will be there for you. Okay?" Twarkle9 sent, trying to sound as comforting as possible.

"Okay. Thanks, Twilight. I think I will try. Maybe I can get some good photographs out of it?"

"Ha! Fluttershy's introduction to Rock, stage one, complete. Stage two, the mosh pit!" Dashitall proclaimed triumphantly.

"I don't think we need to go that far, Dash." Twarkle9 sent back quickly.
