"Good, nice meeting you all!" Whisper Wind said with a short bow to Sea and Strings, then turned on his heels and headed to his daily tasks, adding the task of making reservations at the Rainbow Ranch to them. That went better than expected.

Strings just stared at Rebel, trying to comprehend what just happened. "Um...Rebel...Did you just get a date with one of the Stars?" He had a really confused look on his face. He then quickly shook his head and changed the topic. "Well, I'm gonna head back home and get ready, see you guys in about an hour?" He then trotted off towards his home.
When he arrived, he went to the music room and cleaned up a bit. He then shook his head remembering what had happened earlier. Rebel Yell was asked on a date by one of the Stars, and they barely new each other, it was crazy. Anyway, i shook back the thoughts and continued cleaning. The other Ponies where gonna be there soon.

Sea was stunned by the sheer number of random ponies that for whatever reason decided to appear right as she got off the airship. Especially this guy. Who the hay was this jerk? He just appears, hits on the pegasus mare who just showed up not a minute ago, and then he goes wandering off again with hardly any acknowledgement of the conversation he just interrupted.
Wait, did Strings just say that guy was a member of Stars? Sea vaguely remembered something about them being some big shot heroes or something. Sea asked Rebel, "You know that guy? Isn't he famous or sumthin'?"
Sea turned to Strings. "Uh, sure... Though - hol' up, you never, like, gave me an address!" Sea called as Strings trotted away.

Rebel sighed softly.
"Some famous hotshot, I think," she replied. "Not fussed with popularity, really." She shook her silver bangles further up her legs.
When Strings left, Rebel tried to call him back along with Sea. When he didn't return, she groaned.
"That pony, I swear..." She closed her eyes for half a minute, then gave Sea Swell the address to Strings' house.

”A famous dude just asked you out and is taking you to dinner. That’s pretty awesome no matter how ya look at it, if you ask me.” Sea nodded appreciatively when Rebel gave her Strings’s address. ”Thanks Rebel. I’ll see ya there,” she said and went on her way.
---
Approximately an hour later, Sea found herself knocking at the door to Strings’s home, ready to jam. She hasn’t had a real jam session in years, not since her years in high school back in Filly, and hoped she could back into the groove quickly.

Strings had just finished setting up his music room when he heard a know on the door. He quickly ran down the hall to the door and opened it to see Sea Swell standing there, obviously ready to jam. "Hey Sea Swell! Come in, Come in!" He motioned his head inside and moved away from the door so that the Pony could come inside. "Make yourself at home! Can I get you anything? A drink perhaps?" As he walked to the kitchen he gestured towards a hallway. "First door on the right is the music room if you want to go there. I'll be in with drinks and snacks as soon as possible."

Sea smiled and nodded at her host as she came inside. "Sure, could go for some water. Actually haven't had anything to drink on the airship ride up here. You know, ya left so quickly before, I didn't even get an address from ya. Had to get it from Rebel," she said light-heartedly.
Walking into the room Strings noted as the music room, she continued, "So what kinda music you play exactly? You know I do mostly hip hop jazz, but really I like most kindsa music."

Rebel arrived at Strings' house about half an hour after Sea Swell did. Flipping her mane from her eyes, she rapped her hoof against the door, and waited.

Strings poured two glasses of water and put them on a small tray. "Yeah, sorry about that, I guess I was just distracted." He said as he walked to the music room. When he entered the room filled with many different instruments, amplifiers and electrical equipment, he set down the tray on a table and walked over to his guitars. He had five of them. "I play mostly rock, but I can play a bit of other styles." Strings picked up his favorite guitar, a black Flying-V, which was the same as the guitar that was his cutie mark. "So, you play the piano right? Go play a tune and I'll play something over top of it." He said as he gestured towards the large piano.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Strings quickly put down his guitar and said, "Ah, that must be Rebel, late as usual." He walked to the door. and opened it to see the midnight blue pony. "So, you decided to finally grace us with your presence?" He said jokingly. "Anyway, come in. We are in the music room."

"Hey, don't worry 'bout it. Woah. Nice setup you got here..." Sea said as she looked around the room, taking a sip of water before setting the glass back down on the table.
She then sat herself in front of the piano. It was much larger than the one she had back in her apartment. Testing a key, she immediately noted the difference in quality. A slight excited gasp escaped her lips. 'So this is what a decent piano should sound like... I need to start saving up...' she thought to herself.
"Oh, heh, sorry 'bout that..." Sea said to Strings with a smile, suddenly aware that he might have heard her excited squeal. "You said rock, right?" Sea didn't know nearly as much about rock as she did about hip hop or jazz, but it was definitely still among her favorite genres, especially punk and riot grrrl.
She picked a rough concept of what her part would sound like - something aggressive and catchy. "Alright, let's kick it!"
When Sea heard the knocking at the door, she followed Strings to the hallway. "Ayo. What's good, Rebel?" she said in greeting.

Rebel rolled her eyes at her best friend, walking in.
"My sides are gone 'cause I'm laughin' so hard," she said sarcastically, walking along side Strings. "You should jus' ditch music be a comedian." She walked into the sitting room, and glanced over at Sea Swell when she heard her greeting.
"What's good? Pfft, it's Cloudsdale," Rebel smirked, sitting on a cushion.

Strings looked down and shook his head at Rebel Yell's sarcastic comment. "Maybe I should." He replied also sarcastically. "But, I guess I just love music too much to give it up. Maybe I should work comedy into my music?" He glanced at Rebel with a wicked grin on his face as she sat down. "Well, now that you've sat down, lets go to the music room."
The group of ponies walked into the music room, and Strings sat down and grabbed his guitar again. "Now, I'll play a tune in the key of A minor, and Sea Swell, you play something over that. Rebel, you see if you can come up with some cool lyrics or something." He then started playing a tune of four chords in the key of A minor.

Sea smirked at Rebel's apparent indifference towards living in Cloudsdale. "Real reassuring for my vacation plans," she joked.
Back in the music room, Sea sat herself in front of the piano once again. "Cool, okay..." she said to Strings's instructions. She thought about what might play well with Strings's tune, decided on something a little soft, and began to play.

Rebel listened to the music that was played, and pulled over a piece of paper and a quill and began writing lyrics.
Dipping, Lifting, Soaring through the air.
Never felt this free before, Here above the city lights, Way above the city floor.

The sun already set when the jam session ended. Noting the time, Sea Swell began rummaging through her saddlebag and said, "Hey, either of ya know a place to spend the night around here?" Finding her bit purse and opening it, she mentally began to count out the money she brought from Manehattan, when she realized something. 'I forgot to go to the bank... This isn't nearly enough for a hotel room,' she thought to herself, dropping the purse back into her bag.
"Uh... maybe, like, someplace cheap? Like... maybe a soft park bench or something," she said with a nervous laugh.
