First of all, Sorry for the long wait: Life happened, People Died... and I wound up in hospital with a stab wound...again...hence why the chapters from here on out will gradually get shorter...

more than words...

"...killjoys, make some noise"
the chaotic sounds of MCR echoed through the bedroom.
the alarm clock found itself out the window.
i sighed, looking out the window to see the light of the world.
the sunlight danced through the leaves on the trees, i stretched out.
grinning from ear to ear, i reached in the bag, finding the black box.
i looked at the clock, then sighed, it was 11am.
back how i used to live, i'd say it was too early... but now?
hah, its just right.

I began my new routine, wake up, have brunch with Vinnie, have shower.
Vinyl Scratch, within the first month of staying here, has become like a sister to me.
"yo, Sis" i patted her on the head.
"yeah bro?" i found out she had gotten into the anime.
i placed a finger on her nose, "Your drill is the drill that pierces the heavens"
she did a double-take. "how...the buck..."
"you left the dvd case out" i chuckled.
"I'm gonna be out for the night... unless..."
"unless what?"
"have you ever been to the GGG?"
her eyes widened, from what she told me just then... she had only heard stories about how wild they can get, given the right... push.
"oh man, you want me to come with?"

I simply nodded.
after what had seemed like a good hour of watching a white blur bounce around the room, she stopped.
"Oh Buck! i need something to wear!"
dude, bag o bits on the table... go to rarity, tell her i sent you, and mention Gala!"
she quickly disappears, with a spring in her step and an audiable WUB when ever her hooves touch ground.
"heh...hang on" i blinked for a moment, noticing Pinkie Pie mirroring Vinne.
"oh shit, now theres two of them"

i picked up the guitar once again, grinning like an idiot.
"heh, time to practice"
[hr]

Vinyl was being followed, she knew that much.
when she turned, she was met with the smiling face of one Pinkemena Diane Pie.
"oh hey Pinkie," Vinnie grinned, "what are you up to?"
"just picking up my new dress Rarity made"
"well... i'm heading that way too" Vinnie beamed.
"awesome, why?" suddenly Pinkie gasped "oh are you going to the Gala aswell?"
Vinyl's eyes widened. "h-how?"
"Pinkie sense"

Vinyl, took one small step back from the giggling filly.
finally reaching the door tot he carousel boutique, she pushed open the door.
"Rarity? ah... Rob sent me, about the Gala?"
Rarity came trotting up to her at a quick pace.

"just stand here, stay still... and dont Bucking move" Rarity smiled.
Vinyl soon realized her mistake, getting jabbed with needles.

"oh great" i sighed.
as if werent enough to be playing the guitar, i was completely in a trance.
i looked at the time, "4pm... heh," i took another shower.
after all, one does not simply go to a ball smelling like ass.
i noticed my beard was starting to get a little bit scragly.

having a shave, i felt liberated, no longer a cave man.
keeping my usual tasche and chin strip, i grinned.
"now... to Suit up"
i walked my way to the wardrobe, lets be a suave bastard i thought to myself as i donned the black shirt.
the checkered socks and black trousers were next.
"ahhh finally" i heard from the downstairs.

i threaded a checkered belt through the belt loops, tightening it up.
"that you Vinnie?, go take a shower"
"will do"
the tie was next. the checkered tie blended well.
i grabbed the suit jacket, and simply slung it over my shoulder.
the Electro-acoustic was sitting in its case, begging to be used upon this night.
"soon" i rested a hand on the case after i shut it.
i sat in the living room, waiting patiently, pulling my 'special occasion shoes' on.

after a few moments, Vinyl walked in.
she took a look at me, "whoa, you scrub up pretty well"
"heh, thanks Sis, same could be said of you" i grinned.

i grabbed the checkered hat and placed it on my head.
"heh, Ska-tastic" i then put the jacket on and picked up the black box and guitar case.
i kept hold of Vinyl's ticket. i didnt really need one.
"heh, i asked Lulu to do me a favour, she's already teleported the stratocaster, bass, drumkit and microphones to the castle ball room" i grinned.
"ohh..wondered why they werent here"

as we stepped outside, the sun was nearing its setting point.
we saw the carriages, i pikced up Vinyl, under one arm, and had the guitar case in the other, running.
"we late?"
"no, the others are though" one pony chuckled.
"heh, always fashionably late, but thats life" i chuckled as well.

as i sat there, i dosed off. the song still floating in my head.

"shhh, he's sleeping" Fluttershy smiled.
none of the others had seen me at peace.
"so, Rarity, are you hoping to meet that Special Colt?" Applejack asked.
"oh no dear, i gave up, i already found him remember?" Spike heard this and notebly blushed.
Rarity then simply sat beside him.
"well, isnt this lovely," Fluttershy smiled, leaning beside Applejack. "i just wish Bic Mac was here with us"
Fluttershy suddenly 'eep'ed realizing what she just said.
"well ah'll be... you just made my day, Fluttershy" the farm pony giggled.
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were currently exploring what they could get away with on a carriage full of ponies and a human...
not much as it turns out. "heh, Pinkie.. i cant [i]wait [/i] to get that dress off you" Rainbow said with a sultry smile.

i suddenly woke up laughing. "well, after a rude yet somewhat kinky awakening, i have to say, Canterlot Castle looks lively tonight" i grinned.
ponies were queing up for miles, but luckily, being the only human and hanging around with the Elements of harmony has its perks. "Vinyl, stick by me" i grinned down at the mad mare.
"okay bro"
as we walked in a group a song began to emenate from the ponies around us.
soon it was bizarrly my turn to sing uncontrolably.
"at the gala, at the gala, im gonna sing a song
for the pony who enraptured my heart, still beating strong
i'll sing it at the gala! what the fuck?"

Vinyl looked at me for a moment, equally confused.
i shrugged my shoulders and carried on walking, my guitar case held tightly in my fist.
after a while, we stood before a servant. "tickets please"
i handed Vinyl's over, "Go on in vinyl," i watched Luna trot up to me "i'll be with you when i find my jaw".

Luna looked stunning, he dress simply radiated moonlight, the stars emblazoned on the hemm seemed to shine lightly.
"Found it!" i chuckled before being silenced by a passionate kiss. "happy anniversery Robbie" she smiled.
"where's the equipment, i need to rig up in a few moments"
she raised an eyebrow, i simply kissed her again. "you'll see why in a minute" i grinned.

inside, twilight was chatting with Celestia about various things.
Rainbow was dancing with Pinkie, in a very seductive way...
who knew the argentine tango existed in equestria.
Applejack was conversing with Soarin, who had recently flown to Sweet apple acre's just to confess his feelings for her pie.
...and her of course.
Rarity was sitting with Spike, making googly eyes at him.
you could almost hear it now, Pony elopes with dragon.
but Fluttershy looked lonely, "hey, Flutters?"
she squeaked. "ye-yes?"
"you should really tell him when you see him" her eyes widened.
"i may have been asleep... but i was still aware" i patted her on the back.

i looked up for a moment, then i stood up. Luna looked a little nervous.
"excuse me madam" i winked at her. "may i have this dance?"
the music kicked in, and lets just say, tasteful music is tasteful.
as i danced with the moonlight, i was purely happy. not a single care in the world.
i pulled her close. "I've been trying to figure out how to take our...relationship to the next level... but"
she kissed me once again. the music continued.
"i know, but i don't know if were ready for... well...that" she said, with a small smile.
"you think i'm talking about getting married?"
"well..."
"heh, how about we get engaged instead" i grinned.
she nodded, with a tear in her eye. "oh...almost forgot" as i spun her around, i looped the necklace around her.
"happy anniversary my love" she smiled, she then lifted the pendant with her magic, noticing a small inscription.

I'm standing on the moon, with nothing left to do,
with a lonely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you

"that's just one part, time for part two" i grinned as i ran to the stage. the band hadn't started playing again, knowing that the music magic was a cue. i opened the guitar case, and pulled out the guitar.
it was one i kept hidden in plain sight for quite a while. i put the strap over my head and got comfortable.
"Hi everypony!" i grinned, speaking into the microphone. "I'm Robbie, and this is Eclipse" i tapped the guitar.
"and now for the second part of the gift" i took a few strums, let out a small chuckle and began the song.

the ballroom fell quiet, not a single sound was heard apart from my voice and the guitar.
it was difficult to do it, being struck with slight nervousness. i smiled through it though.
to be perfectly honest, Luna gave me something i could never replace.
i took a glance, seeing couples dancing together. a genuine smile on each of their faces.

after the song was over, i returned to Luna's side, beginning to notice that the 7 ponies and one dragon who traveled with me apart from fluttershy were now causing a small bit of havoc. i hadn't noticed Celestia standing next to me until she let out a giggle. "heh, you want me to raise the roof?"
"oh please do" Celestia smiled.

i stood up, and shouted "yO VINNIE... LAY ME A FRESH DRUM BEAT! WE NEED BASS!" Vinyl rushed up to the drumset, Dash grabbed the bass, i grabbed the stratocaster, and spike sat at the piano.
"in the immortal words of the human known as max cavelera... lets BUCK SHEET UP!"
