Club Pon-3

I took this from chapter four. It was over 2,000 words, so i cut it in half! Here it is: Chapter 5: Club Pon-3

Bass Chord and Faint. Faint and Bass. Which one sounds better? I thought to myself as we walked over to the club.
"Ya know," Bass said, looking at me, "If this doesn't work, we could always be male strippers." I knew it was a joke, so we laughed. He almost cried, and I tripped.
That just made us laugh even harder. I got up, and we walked for another minute. We turned a corner, and found it. Club Pon-3. It didn't look like much from the outside. It had a red-carpet entrance, while the building surrounding it was a more black color.
The canopy above the entrance said "Club Pon-3" and it was navy blue. We walked up to the door, where a unicorn bodyguard "bouncer" or whatever you call them, was waiting for us. As we walked up, he stopped us.
"Stop right there. Are you on the list?" He asked, standing in front of the door.
"Oh, wait. There's a list?" I asked, surprised.
"Nah, I'm just messing with ya. Go right on in." He smiled and opened the door. I smiled back and we walked in. We were almost immediately with blaring sounds of dubstep beats.
We open the door inches ahead and the music get way louder, and we can also see the light effects. I walk in, Bass following me, and look around. I saw head-bobbing ponies, some dancing, some drinking. I looked dead ahead and saw her:
She had a paper-white coat, crazy light/dark blue mane, and those purple goggles. I couldn't help but stare. She was head banging to her song.

This is what she was playing.

*22 minutes later, when the song finished.*
"Wow, sucks that we had came when she only had one song left." Bass said to me.
"Yea, well, time to put our plan in action! C'mon." I trotted off to where Vinyl Scratch had went. Through a back door, in the dressing room-hallway. Bass followed as I looked the name on every door.
"Nope....nope...nope....AHA!" I said. I knocked on her door, and waited. A moment later she came and answered the door, with her goggles off.
"Who are you?" She asked, scanning me.
"Well, my names Faint. He is Bass Chord." She peeked her head out and I saw her rose-red eyes. I still had my goggles on though, so no-one has really seen my eyes yet. Except for Bass and Fluttershy, of course.
"Alright, what do you guys want?"
"Well, see, we are looking for jobs in the music part of Equestria. I DJ, he writes songs. He also sings, of course."
"Hmmmm.... Then come in. I guess I have time to talk." She fully opened the door and we walked in. Her dressing room wasn't much. Just like the dressing room you see in movies, I guess. She sat down on a chair and pointed to a couch a little bit away from her.
"So what, exactly, did you guys come to me for?"
"I would like to be a partner DJ to you. He would like to write songs and perform them. He needs someone who can get him gigs though." Vinyl Scratch sat there, thinking about this.
These new ponies seemed nice, but she didn't know them yet.
"Listen. I don't know you guys. If you can prove you are good though, I'll see what I can do." I smiled at Bass.
I knew he was too shy to say his idea, so I would.
"My friend here expected you to say that. His idea is for me and you to have a DJ battle. For him, he would perform a song for you, after our battle."
"I like it," She said as she got up. "Let's do this tomorrow. I think that you may need to practice. I will allow you to practice with my private deck. Your friend Bass can also use a spare dressing room for his practice. See ya tomorrow." She was holding open the door. Bass left first, then me, then Vinyl. She locked the door behind her.
"Cool. See ya then!" I called as she trotted off to the exit. Bass looked at me.
"Well," he said, "Now what?"
"We look for a house, remember?"
"...Nah, let's practice for tomorrow." He headed into dressing room 5.
I looked around till I found Vinyl's Deck. It was blue, of course. I started on my old songs, and a new one.

We practiced for two hours straight. We got a message from Vinyl saying that we had to close up, so we did. It also said to be there again by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Bass was tired from singing, me from mixing and thinking. We walked back to Fluttershy's house.
"Oh, hey Faint." She greeted us at the door. "Who is your new friend?"
"His name is Bass Chord. His friends call him Bass. Do you mind if he stays here for a bit?"
"No, not at all. Any friend of your is a friend of mine!" She said as she let us come inside. I did think of one problem though.
"Hey, where can I sleep?" Bass asked.
"Well...." Fluttershy said. "Faint, do you mind sleeping in my bed with me? Bass can stay down here, on the couch." She smiled. I heard Bass snicker and I pushed him. Jokingly, of course.
"I wouldn't mind. Get some rest Bass. See you in the morning."
"Yea, Yea." He said as he crawled into a blanket on the couch. Fluttershy turned off the lights and led me upstairs. Her room looked exactly like it did in the show. I got under the covers and she did the same. I turned of the lights and closed my eyes. I put one hoof around Fluttershy. I knew she didn't mind, because she same closer to me.
"Just to let you know," I said looking at her, "I like somepony else. But, seeing as I can tell something is wrong, I am here to comfort my friend."
"I...I haven't been sleeping well. Thank you."
I leaned in closer and whispered into her ear.
"No problem." As I fell asleep to her quite and steady breaths.

Take that Shadow! Nah, just kidding though. Please, no one think that the next chapter will be about me and Flutter. I like her, of course, but I won't do that. I have a friend that would kill me if I did. Anyways, TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!
