The Disk Jockey and the Cellist

Vinyl trotted downstairs past her oven, there it read 11:59 PM. She opened her refridgerator and pulled out some Egos, before popping them into the toaster.

She grabbed a plate and her ear twitched when a piercing noise came to range. Her house phone. She sighed and picked the phone up. "Residence of DJ-P0N3, how may I help you?"a concerned look flashed across her face. "What!? Yes, I know that...wait what? Oh I'm not surprised. What? What do you mean 'CRITICAL CONDITION'!? YOUR LIARS! YOUR ALL LIARS!!!!!!!!" she thrust the phone down, and it bounced off the ground as it shattered in pieces.

Vinyl's eyes were glowing and her horn was glowing and her hair was rising in her rage. Her teeth gritted and her sense of judgement was gone.

"Vinyl."

Vinyl's eyes slowly started to fade with the glow, her horn returned to normal and her hair fell immediatly. "WHAT!?"she asked coldly.

"Vinyl, please excuse thy impoliteness. I promise thou not to yell."

Vinyl turned and met the gaze of Luna, who was leaning against the door. "So...this is a dream?"

Luna sighed and rolled her eyes, "No. Sadly not. Neon's condition is worst than we thought. It turns out he had a bad heart condition. His heart doesn't function properatly"

Vinyl gave a little gasp. "...what...? LUNA! TELL ME THIS IS A DREAM!"her voice cracked and tears started to stream down her face.

Luna shook her head, "I'm 'fraid not, this is not a dream nor nightmare, thy am truely sorry Vinyl."

Vinyl's eyes started to glow once more, "YOUR LIEING!!"

Luna narrowed her eyes, "IT'S TRUE VINYL!"she broke into the Royal Canterlot Voice as dark thunderclouds started to make a ring around her. She unfolded her wings, spreading them out, making a menacing shadow.

Vinyl started to cry more rapidly, "NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU!"

Luna narrowed her eyes more and raised her head to the heavens and both the alicorn and unicorn were surrounded by a blue aura, and in a snap, they were teleported to the hospital.

Vinyl's eyes returned to normal as their gaze lay on Neon. There was bandages all over his body, his breathing was short and rattly, and there was a mask on his muzzle that helped him breath. There was a tube in his arm and Nurse Redheart blinked and turned to Luna and Vinyl.

Luna narrowed her eyes, "Continue with your work. I'm here to show Vinyl the truth."

Nurse Redheart bit her lip as if scared of Vinyl, but faintly nodded and returned to work. Vinyl blinked, tears slowly starting to return, she gathered her courage and trotted over to Neon. "Ne...on...?"

Neon slowly opened his eyes and slowly brushed his hoof through Vinyl's hair. "Vin...yl..."he said, his voice harsh and rasping, every time he finished a syllable, he wheezed and coughed a rattley cough.

Vinyl's eyebrows were brought together as tears fell off her cheek onto Neon's pale blue coat. "Is it true?"she sniffled.

Neon paused, and looked down with a concerned look on his face. "Yes. It is true. Ever since a foal, my heart wouldn't function properatly."he placed his hoof on his chest.

Vinyl lowered her head, "...why...why didn't you tell me...?"

Neon blinked, and coughed, "Well...(cough)...well..."his voice trailed off and he fell to sleep. Luna was behind Vinyl and placed a hoof on her shoulder. "I'll go to his dream."

Vinyl nodded sadly yet blankly.
