Side Chapter 1: Tastes in Music

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

This chapter, although cannon, does not have any important impact on the story, and takes place before Nova and Trixie arrive in Manehatten

As the odd pair made their way further towards Manehatten, Trixie eyes once again fell onto the device in Nova's ears.
Although she wouldn't say it out loud, it was quite the impressive feat of technology, if what Nova had told her about it was true.
With nothing else to pass the time, she decided to inquire further about it.

"Nova, you told Trixie the device you have can play music, so, Trixie has been wonde- hey, are you ignoring Trixie?!" She asked.

Nova, with the earphones still in, completely failed to hear her, and instead kept bopping his head to the beat.
After a lot of yelling and demands, Nova finally took the earphones out, only to suddenly find himself being yelled at.

"Furthermore, It is just rude to ignore someone when they are talking to you!" She yelled, out of breath from her rant.

Nova, having no clue on what she was yelling at, spotted a chance to tease and dived right in.

"Oh, sorry Trixie, did you just say something?" He asked, feigning innocence.

"HOW DARE YO-" Trixie started to shout before stopping herself.
Having spent enough time around him, Trixie had caught on to his little taunts, with a deep breath, she forcefully calmed herself before beginning again.
"Trixie was going to ask what kind of music you prefer, since you seem to spend most of your time with those things in your ears."

Although a little disappointed he couldn't get under her skin, Nova chuckled a bit at her question.
"Ah, you'd be surprised how many times I've been asked that question in the past, and unfortunately I'll have to give you the same boring answer I always give, I don't really have a preferred genre of music, I just listen to what I think sounds good." He answered.

Trixie's face scrunched up, clearly dissatisfied with the provided answer, quickly thinking of another way to ask.
"Okay then, what kind of music do you dislike then?" She asked again, getting a small smile from Nova.

"Now there's a question I can give some definite answers to." He said, pausing for a moment to think.
"Scremo, I can't even identify that as a form of singing, let alone music, in not that into heavy metal, but there are a few exceptions, and lastly, most forms of Dupstep, or as I like to refer to it; Shitstep." He said, a clearly audible tone of disgust in his voice.

Nova, realizing how off putting he might be sounding, cleared his throat and attempted to steer the conversation back towards her.
"So what about you, got any preferences in music yourself?"

"The Piano, it is, without a doubt in the Great and Powerful Trixie's amazing mind, the most magic of instruments, Trixie would go as far as to say it could, and should be classified as its own genre." She announced, Nova nods his head in agreement.

"Actually, yeah, now that you mention it, I really like the piano myself, infact...." Nova trailed off as he started looking through his Ipod.
After a bit of searching, Nova found the song he was looking for.
"Here, I don't remember downloading this song, but I've been listening to it almost non stop for a while now." He said as he put the earphone up to Trixie's ear.

Trixie grabbed the earphone out of his hand and gently placed it to her ear.

After a few second of further fumbling around with the device, The music started.
The only was Trixie could describe it was musical bliss, although the piano was the driving force of the song, the other instruments blended in perfectly.
After a few minutes (and almost running the carriage off the road a few times) The song ended, Nova went to take the earphone back, only for her to stop him with her hood.

"Trixie, would like to listen to the song again, in fact Trixie never wants to stop listening to it." She said, only to blush upon realizing how childish she was being.

However, instead of teasing her, Nova just smiled, leaned back into his seat and pressed play again.
"Just promise me you won't drive us into a ditch this time."


Author's Note

So, this is a to not only give you something to read, but also allowed me to ~~RE-ASK A QUESTION I POSTED ON MY BLOG THAT NO ONE READ OR COMMENTED ON~~ ask you, my reader, if you would like more chapters like this, they could range from cannon to non-cannon, and also vary is relevance to the plot as well, such as world building and what not.
Please give me some feed back on this, otherwise I might just scrape the whole side chapter idea.
(also here's another link to the song if the one in the story doesnt work for reasons)
