"A carnival sounds fun."

 

He hopped onto his bike when she was done eating and took of down the moonlit highway, he looked towards the sky and saw the full moon, and he opened the visor of his helmet and howled loudly, hearing a few in return. It was always reassuring and he smiled as he pulled his visor down and pulled into the university carpark.

Midnight smiles and giggles at him "I've heard about that carnival, apparently it's really dark and mysterious. You need to find a pony with a flyer to get in" she says and just then she saw a crowd of ponies and furs crowding around a young batpony who was singing.

Now the one with the death metal stuff that I think is Miko foxy lady, the more fantasy stuff I'm betting on Mindie, the third well no idea."

"Well here's a quick rundown of the aforementioned subgenre's. A newcomers guide to the many, many metal sub-genre's.

• Thrash metal is like a PG-13 action flick. PG-13 as of 20 or 30 years ago. Fast paced, lot's of shouting, usually violent, a one versus all, take on the world, type of mentality.  If you've ever heard of Metallica, Slayer, or Pantera, they're thrash.
• Death metal? Even faster paced. Lot's of growling. Morbid subject matter. So a slasher flick. 
• Mindie's tastes? Power metal is pretty much He-man, Thunder Cat's, Highlander, the Tolkien films, etc. Epic badass fantasy.
• Progressive, or prog metal is the more conceptual, artsy stuff. More like highbrow literature & poetry, or one of those paintings that looks cool but has a deeper meaning in it, type of deal. Also a real bitch to play."

 

"As for how long we've been rooming. Over three years now? But we've known each other for about 8. Who's in the third room you ask? That'd be Ruby, our lead guitarist. Don't let the sheet music fool you. She's just as big a metal head as the rest of us. She just really loves classical too. Fun fact: Metal heads and classical aficionados have a surprising amount in common. Classical is just one of the key forefathers of metal, even being called the original heavy music."

 

"Her door is open. So why don't I introduce you?"

 

"Um, Meek, pretty sure she's sleeping. She's got class at 7."

 

"Hey she knows the rules. Door's open, that means we're invited. Doubly true since there's no sock on the handle."

 

"Be grateful you don't live here." she mock side whispered to Quill.

"I think I'm a little more knowledgeable about metal now, but I'll forget most of that in about 5 minutes so please don't hate me, I just listen to things that sound nice, I don't have a preference." She looked to the aforementioned door. "I'd be a poor house, or well apartment guest to wake someone who's sleeping that would not be a good idea. I asume that since they are asleep that this Ruby is of a nocturnal species?"

Zeke pulled up next to the group, not even being noticed by the eclectic crowd.

 

"What's going on?" he spoke, only to be quickly hushened by an old pegasus.

 

"Hm." He pulled Midnight onto his lap, resting his chin on top of her head.

He stood, towering above all of the others and he snatched as many tickets as him and his friends needed, as well as grabbing some and hanging them to kids that weren't tall enough to reach them.

 

By the time he'd escaped the crowd, he'd gotten 4 sloppy kisses from beaming mothers and handshakes from fathers, he felt good being able to help others.

"Thestral? That's the first time I've heard that word. I just call her bat pony.

 

"You're lucky she's not all that fuzzled about that. That'd be like calling a unicorn a horn pony. Or I guess Norwhal pony if we're using animals as adjectives. And no, not in a bed. Not that I've seen anyways."

 

And wow aren't you acting surprised. Out of Dragons,  Timber wolves, Chimera, Changelings, Centaurs, Manticores, the Smooze and Discord, the thing you're the most fascinated by id a member of your own species? As to when she wakes up? Uhhhh, what time is it now? "

"Though out of curiosity, what do you find interesting about us?" Mindie asked as she walked aroudn the room, setting things in order. Quill woudl notice that among the wall to wall band posters, were photos. Not of family, but of Miko & Mindie w/ various others. By the looks of it, other musicians. In the corner was a particular arrangement. Shelves w/ framed photo's, all signed. Centered around a collection of memorabilia, among which was a glass case w/ a guitar in it.

"I'm always happy around you." He smiled

He pulled the throttle, his engine revving and his exhaust pipe rattling.

Him and his date zipped along the highway, before slowing at the gates of the uni campus. 

He flashed his card at the snake controlling the pole and rolled through.
