Music We Cherish

Vinyl stretched and looked at her clock. She sighed. This was the first day for her. *Octavia didn't start until a couple hours after her. Vinyl decided to use a spell to make her movements have no sound to them. She got up and made her bed, then walked into the kitchen. She made a hay sandwich and ate it quickly, then packed a peanut butter sandwich for lunch later on.

Vinyl opened and shut the door, as well as forgetting to undo the spell. She trotted out, and found her hooves made no sound.  She quickly undid the spell and smiled, glad she remembered. She trotted down the hall and into a music room. She entered and sat in the first available chair. She was the first one in, not counting the teacher.

"Why hello, my little pony. Why are you so early?" The mare asked.

"I just couldn't get back to sleep, so I came in. Nice to meet you, I'm Vinyl Scratch."

"Lovely to see you here, Vinyl. My name is Rainbow Track, very nice to see you here!"

"Wait, you are THE Rainbow Track, as in: Princess Rainbow Track of Rain-Acrtica?"

"Well, yes, but please, just call me Miss Track." The Alicorn of Music asked politely.

"Oh, sure! Very awesome to meet you! I didn't think you'd be here of all places. If I may ask, why are you not in Rain-Arctica ruling there?"

"It's okay to ask, and I'm here because the previous teacher... well, he died. It was of natural cause... or my cousin Grim Reaper... any who, my little brother is running things there until the school finds a permanent replacement."

"What's his name?"

"His name is Rainy Record. He's a bit stubborn, but he warms up to every pony eventually."

As the pair waited and talked for about a half an hour, the rest of the class finally came. There were only 8* students, including Vinyl. And after a long talk about why Miss Track was there and learning about her, she said-

"For this first class, I would like you all to say some things about you; where you are from, your name, and what you are getting your degree in. Okay, we'll start to the right of me and go to the left."

"Hello, my name is Rapid Spin, I am from Las Pegasus, and I'm getting my degree in editing sounds and making tracks." A friendly mare spoke quietly.

"Hey, I'm Vinyl Scratch, aka DJ-P0N3, I'm originally from Hoofington, I'm gettin' my degree in turn table use."

"Yo! I am Wretched Record and I am from the Wastelands! I'm getting my degree in fine arts! I am a Changeling, but ever since the Treaty of Change we were allowed back into Equestria! I'm ready to be friendly!"

"Hey! I'm-" the Pegasus was cut off by the fire alarm going off.

The ponies walked in a calm, single file line out of the building. After a bit of standing and waiting, the class re-entered their class room and sat back down. After about another hour playing games to get the students to get to know each other, they were released from class.

"That was just one day of many, my students. I promise the rest of the days will be harder. See you!" Rainbow Track called from the door.

After more classes with most of the same ponies, Vinyl sat outside in the heat and ate her lunch quietly and alone. She ate it quickly, knowing she could go home and practice NOT dropping the bass when she really wanted to. Rainbow Track said you have to let it tell you to drop the bass, not do it whenever. Her four classes were all in a row, lucky for her. She trotted home and found her dorm with slight difficulty.

"Tavi! I'm home!" Vinyl called. She walked over to the fridge and found that there was a note on the door handle. She picked it up and read it aloud. "Dearest Vinyl, I have gone to my classes, and it is about 9 in the morning right now. I have three classes today and I will be home at around 3. Have a great day! Sincerely, Octavia. Aww, how sweet of her to leave me a note!" Vinyl giggled then went into their bedroom. She picked up her turntable and brought it into the living room. She started playing it and cast a spell to keep it inside a force field.
