 It was a dark and stormy night… The wind howled through the trees of the park as Rave's hooves tic'd across the little paved path, eager to get where he was going before the rain kicked in. Lightening struck and thunder crashed over head, and the colt shivered against the chill. It was Saturday night, but the weather kept everypony indoors… Which is where he was trying to be! Well, a certain kind of indoors, as he'd already left one indoors in favor of going to another. Luckily, he lived in a safe part of town, so he was allowed to roam about at night alone, even with the clouds dark and water threatening to fall from the … nope, there it goes. Rave let out a sigh and picked up the pace.

It didn't take him long to reach the other side of the park, and duck into the building just across the street. His multi-colored mane was plastered across his face, and a big laughing pony handed him a towel. "Thanks!" He squeaked, settling on his hindquarters a brief moment to dry off. Once he had his still-damp bangs smooshed over one side of his face, he beamed up at the bouncer. "Nice day for a Rave, isn't it?" With a cheeky grin he trotted off down the hall, the bouncers laughter following him all the way~

Muffled beats could be heard behind the two big doors at the hall's end, but thanks to wonderfully built hinges, the doors swung open easily to allow the colt entry. "All Foals Night~" Rave grinned ear to ear, his bright green eyes brighter than ever as he took in the big social room. Light beams that matched the colors of his mane and more danced across the ponies already inside, fillies and colts of all ages moving and shaking and some doing the silliest dance moves he'd ever seen. He could feel his wings fluttering involuntarily with excitement!

Upon closer inspection, though, he realized he actually really didn't know anypony there… Sure, he recognized a few he went to school with, as well as some of the parents standing as chaperones around the dance floor's edge, but… Well, it occurred to him he never really made friends. Shoot, he probably interacted more with the bouncers and DJs here than anypony else! At school he always had his earbuds in whenever allowed, and the only reason he didn't have them now was because he'd been walking alone at night and heading to a big place where it was easy to lose such a thing… sooooo… now what?

Taking a deep breath to calm his sudden anxiety, Rave let his eyes sweep across the room again. The lights. The Nightmare decor -as it was indeed the Saturday before Nightmare Night-. The dancing. Yup, friends or no friends, this is where he was happy to be. Taking another deep breath and focusing on the music, a smile slipped back across his face and he headed for the punch table. The little distraction would give his fur a moment longer to dry off… If he got on the floor now, he or some other pony might slip in a Rave-made puddle!

A small cup of punch and one sugar skull cookie later, there was a lull in the music. "AAALLLLLLLLLRIGHT EVERYPOOOOOONYYYYY!!!" He heard the familiar voice of DJ Candy ring out over the speakers, and his ears perked. "My favorite dancer is in the house toNIGHT, so lets clear the center floor and have a DAAAAAAANCE OOOOOOOFF!!!" Rave's heart leapt with glee! He knew she was talking about him! They'd talked a lot as she usually DJ'd for the twice-a-month foal events, and while she was blind as a bat she would swear she could feel his dancing and always praised it. She always gave him the courage to keep dancing… And now she was calling him out.

Another pony moved to the center of the floor where space had cleared, nodded his head a couple times, and busted out some pretty awesome moves. As Rave watched, he moved closer and closer to the clearing… He felt drawn to it, like his hooves moved on their own… And by the time the other pony had finished, Rave was on the circle's edge. "YeaaaAAHHH that was great! But ya know what? It's time to RAVE THE DEAAAAAAAAD!" Rave didn't have time to feel nervous, his hooves just didn't let him. Without a single conscious thought, Rave was on the floor, the beat of the music flowing in his ears and out through every strand of fur. He'd practiced this moment hundreds of times in his room, never believing he'd ever actually get the chance. But DJ Candy remembered him mentioning it, and so here he was… feeling like suddenly, every piece of every puzzle was fitting into place. After what seemed like ages and no time at all, he struck his final pose… and as the DJ and crowd cheered his victory, his flank began to glow…
"Sick hooves!" The bouncer grinned at the colt as he left the closing club later that night, and Rave knew he wasn't talking about the ones he was walking on~
