My Little Guitar Heroes: Rhythm is Magic is a fan-written chapter story by DBZFan12. The story is a work in progress, containing only 5 chapters presently.

Premise

The premise of the story involves the Mane 6 and Spike playing various Guitar Hero and Rock Band games with the author's OC, Logan.

Reason For Writing

The author has 2 reasons for writing the story: one reason is anticipation for the upcoming film Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks; the other reason is that it was the result of watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic after playing too much Guitar Hero.

Writing Style

The story is written in past-tense with the point-of-view shifting between characters.

Chapter 1

The story opens in Twilight Sparkle's point-of-view with her, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy headed over to Logan's home, having been invited over to play video games with him. When they get there, they find that he is playing Guitar Hero, and has started to play "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones. Once the song ends, it he is scored as having hit 100% of the notes on Expert. Logan asks what the Mane 6 and Spike thought of his performance, however, they're unable to answer, as they aren't sure what exactly he was doing.

When Logan tells them he was playing Guitar Hero, Twilight asks what that is. The perspective then changes to Logan's point-of-view and he explains what Guitar Hero is and how it's played. Spike tells him that he must have done well, given the percentage of notes he hit. Logan says that doesn't surprise him as he claims to know all the note tracks of every song by heart. When Applejack asks him how that's possible, he explains that he's been playing for quite a while. When Rarity asks him how long, he tells the group to sit on his couch so he can explain it. He then tells them about how he came to like Guitar Hero, why he likes it so much and how he got so good at it. He then offers to teach them how to play, and they accept his offer.

Chapter 2

The second chapter basically involves Logan playing the tutorial to teach the Mane 6 and Spike how to play.

Chapter 3

Logan asks who would like to play Co-Op with him first, offering to let them be player one with him being player two, and always playing on Expert. Fluttershy volunteers to play first and they play "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (or, as they are referred to in Equestria, Joan Pegasus and the Greyhearts). Fluttershy opts to play on Easy mode with Logan playing the bass on Expert. The both of them play flawlessly, Fluttershy's occasional missed note not withstanding, and they both sing along with the music. Fluttershy ends up hitting 96% of her notes, and Logan hits 100% of his.

Spike volunteers to play next. Twilight casts a spell on him that makes him big enough to hold the controller, and he selects Medium difficulty. He and Logan then play "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath (or, as they're called in Equestria, Black Saddle), who also happen to be a favorite band of Rainbow Dash's. The two of them play, this time with only Logan singing along. Spike hits 95% percent of his notes, and Logan, to the surprise of nopony in the room, hits 100% of his notes.

Applejack volunteers to play next and Twilight turns Spike back to normal. Applejack chooses to play "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top (or, they're called in Equestria, ZZ Trot), a band she loves. Applejack hits 91% of her notes and Logan hits 100% of his.

Pinkie then shouts that it's her turn and she swipes the controller from Applejack's hooves. She then selects Hard difficulty and starts flipping through the song list, briefly listening to the preview for each song, writing each one off as being "too slow" or "too boring." She eventually comes to a halt on the final song in the game, shouting that it's her "jam." Logan comments that it's a good thing she settled on that song, calling the hardest song in the game and telling her she'd need to play a different game for a harder song. Pinkie says that she's fine with that, saying that Guitar Hero 1's song list is "hit-and-miss" for her. Logan the decides to skip Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s and move on to Guitar Hero III, stating that the songs the former two games are "better in Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, anyway."

The two of them then play the song "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne (name unchanged in Equestria). Pinkie surprises everypony by hitting 100% of her notes. When asked how she did this, she explains that her sister Limestone listened to Ozzy Osbourne all the time when she went through her "black metal phase a few years ago," and that she remembered the song from when she went to visit her during that time.

Logan then says it's time to move on to Guitar Hero III, but all of their stomachs roar in unison, indicating that they're all hungry. Logan then makes snacks for them all to enjoy whilst playing.
