Welcome to Ponyville

“So Vinyl,” I started. “what kind of music do you like?”

“Well you know me, famous DJ. I listen to track, dub-step, and things like that." Vinyl then looked at me and asked "What about you?”

“Um well I like to dance, listen to dub-step, and a little bit of classical.”

“Cool…” there was then an awkward moment of silence.

“So, did you have a job back on earth or something?” she asked, breaking the silence.

“Sort of, I helped out the DJs at clubs and gave Bassoon lessons to little kids sometimes.”

“Oh wow, that’s pretty cool.”

“Not really. I mean, sure it pays, but it’s not really a job…. Speaking of jobs, do you know any that I can get in Ponyville?”

“Hmm let me think, so you say you helped out DJs, right?”

“Yeah, so?” I responded, my curiosity peaked.

“Well how about you get a job with me at Ponyville club?” before I could start my reply, the over-head speakers in the train cars
turned on. “Attention all passengers, we will be arriving in Ponyville soon."

“Sure, that sounds great.” I said, finally responding to her question. I look out the window and I looked at the town. "So that's Ponyville.” I say.

“Yep! The most safe and dangerous place. Don't know why or how, it just is.” Vinyl stated.

The train came to a screeching stop. “Come on and grab your stuff.” she said. I did what I was told and got off the train.

I asked, “Where do we go?”

“Just follow me.” Vinyl said, on our way to Vinyl's house, there were pony's all around just staring at me.

“Man I don't think I'll ever get over this." I said.

“What do you mean, bro?” Vinyl asked confused.

“Look around! They're all staring at me.” I stated.

“Oh yeah. I guess it will take some time for them to get used to you being here.” she replied non-chelantly.

“Yeah, I guess.” As we were walking down a dirt path, I can saw a house in the distance. “Is that your house Vinyl?”

“Yeah. Sorry for the long walk down here. Since I record songs at my house, ponies get annoyed listening to my music. Therefore moved to the edge of Ponyville.”

“Yeah, that sounds reasonable I guess.” As we got to her house, I could see it was a two story home. She unlocks the door and we step inside.

“Follow me.” she said. We then walkes up the stairs. “To the right is the restroom, the door to the right of it is mine, and the door to the left is your room. You can put your bags in there, and then met me down stairs.” I opened the door to find a queen size bed, a little dresser on each side of the bed, and a window that had a great view of the Everfree forest. The room was painted the same electric blue as Vinyl’s hair color.

I put all my stuff away and went down stairs, where I saw Vinyl in the kitchen eating an apple. “Hey man, are you done putting stuff up?”

“Yeah I didn't pack that much stuff so it was easy.” I said.

“Good, now follow me to the basement.” When we got to the basement I saw a turntable, some giant speakers, and some tracks. After I saw this I quickly said “So this the great Vinyl scratch's DJ set.”

“Oh shut it man, it's not that great.” she said.

“Yeah, well, it's better than the ones I've seen so far.” I commented.

“So Nate, what did you do for the DJ’s back on earth?”

“Oh, I was the sound boss.”

“That's great, so you know what to do?”

“Yeah, but I haven't done it in a while, so can you give me a quick run through?”

“Sure.” she says. “Ok, so this baby right here shows you if the wires are in working order and if the speakers are shot. If so, you need to find the wires that are broken and the speaker that doesn’t work, and tell the staff to replace them. Got it?”

“Got it.” I said.

“Oh yeah and here's a little present for yah.” She hands me a pair of sunglasses, but the lenses were a deep blood red. “All my sound bosses have a pair of shades like mine to show they work with me.”

“Thanks Vinyl.” I said with a grin.

“Don't mention it.” She responded.

We then headed upstairs, “hey Nate, are you hungry?” she asked. Suddenly my stomach growls so loudly, that one could think an angry bear was in the other room. “I guess that answers my question. How about we go out eat?” she asked.

“Sure! Where do you want to go.” I replied enthusiastically.

“How about Sugar Cube Corner? They have the BEST cupcakes.”

“Hey, no complaints here.”

“Then it's settled. Sugar Cube Corner it is.” On the walk to Sugar Cube Corner, everypony was gawking at me like they were scared of me.

“Hey Vinyl,” I began.

“Yeah Nate, what's up?”

“I was wondering. Why you are not afraid of me?” She stopped when I said that.

“What do you mean?” she asked curiously. I continued to question her.

“Why aren't you scared of me being near you?”

“Well, I know who you are, and why you’re here.” she shot off every word like she had known this was going to happen.

“So... you’re not afraid of me?”

“No man you’re my friend!” When she said that something just clicked and I didn't really care about the other pony's around me. “Now come on, I'm hungry.”

As we step in I hear a voice all too familiar. “Hi there! Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner, may I take your order? Oh hi there Vinyl! Who’s your friend there?”

“Let me introduce you to each other. Nate, this is Pinke Pie. Pinke Pie, this is Nate.”

“Hi there” I said.

“Hi I haven't seen you in Ponyville and I know everypony in Ponyville! Do you like cupcakes!? I love love LOVE cupcakes, everypony loves cupcakes! Oh do you like parties!? I love parties more than anything, except my friends, do you love cupcakes!?” I just stared at her, unable to even close my mouth from trying to comprehend what she just said without even taking a single breath. I tried to reply, but thankfully Vinyl beat me to it.

“Well,” she started “he's not from Ponyville. Not even from Equestria.”

“Oh my gosh! Did you just get here!?” Pinkie asked. I nod, a scared look on my face knowing where this is going. “WE NEED TO THROW YOU A PARTY!” She yelled with a giant smile on her face.

“Before that Pinke, can we order our food?” Vinyl asked, seemingly oblivious of the pink mate's craziness.

“Oh yeah, sorry.” Vinyl got a giant cupcake while I had simple salad. Damn, I wish they had meat here. After we ate, I paid the check with a few of the bits Celestia gave me. After that we walked around Ponyville, Vinyl showing me around town and introducing me to a couple more ponies. It started to get late, so we walked back home and ate some more salad for dinner. I helped out with the dishes, then took a shower. After all that we said our good nights and went to bed.
