Moving day

"Retro,just because you look different doesn't mean you can't pack a few boxes."said Vinyl Scratch,who was trying her best to pack all the boxes as fast as she could."Come on,at least unlock your room so I can pack your stuff."Vinyl was worried.Retro Scratch,her son,had locked himself in his room a few days ago.He wouldn't let her in,and all she could do was leave food at his door and hope he comes out and eats it.When he took it all she could see was his newly colored black hoof,and only for a few seconds.But finally,he opened the door fully and showed her what had happened to him.Vinyl's jaw dropped.Retro had his whole body colored black,he had bat wings,his horn was broken,and his mane and tail were red.But Vinyl's jaw didn't drop because of that.Retro's cutie mark was gone."What happened to your cutie mark!It's gone!"

"Stop rubbing it in my face,mom,"said Retro Scratch,"and I already packed my stuff.What do you think I was doing in here all along?"

"I thought you were crying,Retro.Now,you have to help me pack.We're have to have this stuff to Octavia's house by tomorrow or it'll be in the dump."said Vinyl.Two hours later,everything was packed."Ok,lets go to Octavia's."But something stung inside Retro.He couldn't let people see him like this!

"Mom,don't tell me we're walking there!"said Retro Scratch,who was now was pacing around the house.

"How else are we gonna get there,Retro?You could try flying,but you just got those wings a few days ago,so I doubt you can use your wings yet."said Vinyl.

"Oh ya?Well watch this!"said Retro,who started to flap his black,bat wings,and, as much as she hated to say it,Vinyl was wrong,as her son was was now flying around the room.Suddenly,there was a knock on the door.

"Retro,stop flying!The Pony Delivery Service is here!"yelled Vinyl.She opened the door to see Twilight Sparkle with the rest of the Elements of Harmony.

"Hi Everyone!Why are you here?"said Vinyl was not used to people coming to her house.The clubs were a usual place to see people,but not her house!

"We were told your son had locked himself in his room,and we thought it might be because of Discord,so we brought our Elements to see if we could help,"said Twilight,"so can we see him?"

"Sure!Retro,get down here!"said Vinyl,and out from upstairs flew Retro.But Retro,like his mother,was not used to guests in his home,let alone the Elements of Harmony,and almost fainted on the spot because people could see him.And even though

he didn't faint,he did stop flying and land on his stomach.But before he got up the mane six were standing above him,and they all were saying something at the same time until Vinyl made them step away.

"Okay,let him have space,now use your magic to change him back."Said Vinyl.Now Twilight and her friends were using there elements,but after they did,Retro looked the same.So they tried again,but got the same results.

"here,I think I have something that can help!"said Vinyl,and then she pulled an amp,and pushed the big red button.Instantly,wubs came out.

  "Vinyl,what do you think your doing!"yelled Twilight,who then pushed the big red button,turning the amp off.

"Hey,why did you kill the wubs!"said Vinyl.

We were trying to concentrate,and you turned your stupid Am-"said Twilight,who now had her mouth covered by Retro.

"Twilight,unless you want to be a victim to the wub cannon,I wouldn't say that,"said Retro,"And It looks like its time for you to go,"Retro pointed to the Pony Delivery Service women in the doorway.

"Ok,bye Vinyl,I'll try to find a cure for Retro!"said Twilight.And with that,the Elements of Harmony were gone.

"Thank you for using the PDS,we will have all your stuff there in a hour.Have a nice day!"said the women.Then she glanced at Retro for a second,gave a weird look at Vinyl,and then hurried off.

"Okay,lets go.And Retro,don't fly.All the fillies will see you in school Tommorow,so whats the point?"said Vinyl.Retro winced.She was right.All his classmates would see him.That made Retro faint.

"Some day its been..."said Vinyl,as she set of to Octavia's house,with Retro on her back.

"Hi Vinyl,what are you doing here?"said Octavia.

"Um,don't you know,I'm moving in!"said Vinyl.

"Who told you that you could move in!?"said Octavia,slightly mad that her friend barged in and told her she was moving in.

"You did!Come on Octavia,I already sold our house and everything!"Vinyl said,getting so mad she thought of tackling her old friend.

"Our?You're married?"said Octavia,easing off her anger a little bit.

"No,I have a son!Just let us stay!"demanded Vinyl,getting even more angry.Octavia the noticed a black hoof behind Vinyl.

"Ok,you can stay,now lets see the colt!"said Octavia,and as quick as she could,Octavia twirled around Vinyl but what she saw made her jaw drop."Is he an alicorn?Those aren't Pegisi wings,and his horn is broken!"

"No,he USED to be a unicorn before Discord changed him into this,"said Vinyl,"but now he's a pegasus."

"Retro Scratch,wake up this instant!"was the first thing Retro heard the next morning ,but all he wanted to do was try to sleep,until Octavia said this,"It's almost time for school!"That got him to get up.

The CMC

"What!Why didn't you say earlier!" said Retro Scratch,now scared of missing school instead of going to school.

"I did tell you Retro,but you wouldn't wake up!I know you don't want to be late to Cherilee's class,so hurry up!"said Octavia.Just then,Vinyl Scratch came from her room.Then she saw Retro and his clock.

"Octavia,can you redo Retro's clock,"said Vinyl,bags under here eyes from just waking up,"It has the wrong time."

"Actually,Vinyl,it has the right time,"said Octavia,"come on Retro-where is Retro?"

"I'm over here,"said Retro,saddlebag

on, "now which way is to school?"Before either ponies could answer his question,he said,"Never mind,I'll just fly over Ponyville and find it."And before either pony even said bye,Retro was out the door,flying above Ponyville.

"Okay,is everyone here?"said Cherilee,who thought something was wrong."Oh,I see,Retro Scratch is late."And then, right on cue,there was a thump outside the doorway.

"Hi Miss Cherilee,sorry I'm late."said Retro,who was now looking at a stunned Cherilee.

"Uh,Who are you?"said Cherilee,stunned to see what was in her doorway."Don't tell me you're Retro Scratch!You look nothing like the colt I had before Discord-Oh,I'm going to guess this is the result of Discord."Cherilee was still stunned,but now about what happened to Retro Scratch.

"Ya,can I go to my seat now?"said Retro,hoping to get the attention off of him,especially three fillies who were looking at where his cutie mark used to be.

"Yes you may.Take the seat by Applebloom,Scootaloo,and Diamond Tiara."said Cherilee,even though there was only one seat left.And the usual day of school went on.But when Retro was about to fly home,there was a tap on his shoulder.

"Hi!my name is Applebloom,This is Scootaloo,and this is Sweetie-where did Sweetie Belle go?"said Applebloom,who then saw Scootaloo struggling to get Sweetie Belle over to Retro,While Sweetie Belle was screaming something about a monster."Like I was saying,we noticed you didn't have you're cutie mark and-"But Applebloom was cut off by somepony else.

"We also saw that,didn't we Silver Spoon?"Said Diamond Tiara."Are you gonna join the blank flank group,Retro?"

"Shut up,Diamond Tiara!"said Retro,who hated when Diamond Tiara made fun of people,especially him.

"What you gonna do about it,wierdo?"said Diamond Tiara.Then Retro headbutted her with his broken horn."What did you do to my precious head,you idiot!"then Diamond Tiara went home,steaming with anger.

"Like I was sayin',you wanna join the Cutie Mark Crusaders?"said Applebloom.

"Sure,I'll meet you guys in an hour at my house,ok?"said Retro."Its where Octavia lives.Bye!"

"Wow,this is fancy!"cried Sweetie Belle,who now regrets wanting to stay at her house.

"Hello!Who are you?"said Octavia,who was the first person to come to the door.

"Well,I'm Scootaloo,this is Applebloom,and this is Sweetie Belle.Were friends of Retro.Is he home?"said Scootaloo.

"Octavia,Don't let your fancy friends in the house!Their to...fancy!"cried Vinyl from her bedroom.

"Vinyl,Retro has friends here!"said Octavia."Retro! get down here!you're friends are here!"

"I'm coming!"said Retro,appearing out of his room."Hi guys,so what you wanna do?"

"Run!"cried Sweetie Belle,but before she made it to the door,Scootaloo had tackled her.But then she got a devious thought."I guess we could help Fluttershy."she said with an evil grin on her face.

"Hi you three,hi-Oh.What is he doing here?"Asked Fluttershy. Great,thought Sweetie Belle.All was going according to plan."Sorry,I didn't mean to offend you."But even though she tried to hide it,she was sure Retro Scratch heard her say 'Don't hurt me' under her breath afterwards.

"So Fluttershy,do you need help today?"said Sweetie,anxious to get her plan over with.If Fluttershy said yes,that was plan A.If she said no,that was plan B.If she said anything else,the whole project would be under reconstruction.

"Well,I could use some help getting some squirrels out of thier trees.But Cherilee said she could some use help at the school for the next field trip.How about Apple Bloom and Retro go help Cherilee at the school house,and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo stay here."said Fluttershy.Well,looks like its time for some reconstruction.

While Fluttershy was wondering why she took the two loudest cutie mark crusaders,Retro and Apple Bloom were going into the school house."Cherilee,why are we going to Canterlot instead of the garden?"said Apple Bloom.Instead of an instant response,she just got some wierd looks.

"Apple Bloom,do you not remember the last trip to the garden?You and you're friends let the embodiment of chaos out of his tomb.Plus,Twilight needs to go up to see the Princess,and we're able to go for free if were with the student of Celestia."said Cherilee."Well,we're finished.You two can head home now."While flying home,Retro was happy.He was,for the first time,going to Canterlot.Vinyl never brought him with,even when she was on tour and left him with Bon Bon.
