Out to Service

"Vinyl, if you're going then I'm coming too." My best friend stated as she closes her suitcase.

"Alright. Whatever you say." I tell her as I make myself a quick bite to eat.

So I guess this is the part where I tell you about myself and what I'm doing.

The name is Scratch, Vinyl Scratch. And that's my best friend, yeah, the gray one over there. Her name is Octavia, I call her Tavi. Sounds better to me. Anyways, the pegasi have gone rogue against Equestria. They want to rule it, take over Celestias' throne. Tavi, now I guess, and I are heading out to boot camp to train for war. Yeah, it does mean leaving everything behind. Friends and family. Good food. Home. But it's the right thing to do. Plus I think it would be a great experience.

"Okay Vinyl! I'm ready!" Octavia yells from the other room.

"Then let's go" I say. The gray mare comes out on command.

We head to the train station, where we find other ponies going to train. As we step up on the porch of the station, I hear some snickering and held back laughter. I should have figured we would be laughed at. 2 mares going to boot camp for war? How pathetic.

"Hey fellas! What's so funny?" I say over to the group of colts.

"No offense, but you do know this is the train to the camp right?" says one colt. His mane is messy. Looks like it has never been groomed. Just like mine. But instead of cyan and blue, his mane is red and black. Strange. Oh well.

"Yeah, actually! We do know this is our right train" I say to him not wanting to cause a fight. I hear Octavia with a quiet voice behind me.

"M-Maybe we should wait for the next train Vinyl... I don't like these guys" She says sheepishly.

"Nah, We are good" I whisper back.

The colts start laughing again. What tools. Just because we are mares doesn't mean we can't fight.

After an hour or two, the train finally comes.

"Finally! My hooves are getting tired!" Exclaims Octavia.

It just makes the colts laugh again as they board the train. Who do they think they are? We are just minding our own  business and they decide to but in. As Tavi would say. HOW RUDE!
