“The first chapter!”
“Sorry I don’t recall”
“It was in the first sentence!”
“Doesn’t ring a bell.”
“You are hopeless.”
It was a nice day in Ponyville and there were two young mares were sitting on a bench, enjoying the scenery.
“You didn’t even read it, did you?” said the grey one wearing a bowtie.
“Nope! didn’t even read the title. It looked boring, plus it’s all about you.” Replied the white one wearing dark sunglasses.
“No! It is about how even a lowly rock farmer can become a respectable Cantorlot pony with diligence and practice.”
“Also swinging an oversized violin at everyone who makes fun of you.”
“So you DID read it”
“Only the parts with me in it. C’mon Octy, you know me?”
“Vinyl, you are the most unruly, rude, uncouth and thick headed moron I know... Which is exactly why I am going to force you to go to the gala with me.”
“Oh son of a bi-”
Meanwhile, two seconds earlier in the exact same location.
“Oh son of a bi...scut eating bulldog. do i have to go?”
“I will let you swing my cello at bluebutt.”
“DEAL!” Vinyl exclaimed, putting Octavia in a choke hold. “Now for reasons uknown, we must go see our friends!”
Upon arriving in the middle of Ponyville,there was a loud crash. A grey blur streaked across the sky, followed by a yellow blur, exiting from one building, only to enter another. After a split second of hearing a few glass objects breaking, the fight had captured everyponies attention. Once again, there was a crash and t mixed streak of grey and yellow landed on the hard ground, leaving two ponies in a crated and causing the spectators to scramble.
Vinyl looked into the crater seeing two, obviously beat up, colts. One was grey, with a black mane and tail, as well as a grey hat and glasses around his brown eyes. His cutiemark was that of a circle with a curved line going up on the rightmost side and a curved line going down on the left. His opponent was yellow with a black mane with red streaks and black on the tips of his ears. He had circles on his cheeks, red as his eyes and his tail was jagged and yellow with brown at the base. His cutiemark was a red A that looked like a curved anarchy symbol.
They had both clearly been fighting, having cuts and scrapes all over and breathing heavily. Just then, the yellow one struck with remarkable speed, yet the grey one had blocked this attack, as well as kicking him in the gut, sending the yellow one, off into another building.
The gray one saw Vinyl looking into the crater. He began to speak. “Hey, I’m DE-” but he was cut off a third blurry streak of pink, sending him into yet another building.
Standing in his place was a very angry looking pink pony, with blue eyes, a cotton candy like hair and balloons for a cutiemark. “You two aren’t in this fic!” she shouted at the ruins that once were buildings.
“Woah, Tavi... Did you see that?” Vinyl said, not looking back. “Tavi?” She said looking back after a moment of no response. “Tavi? YO, OCTY WHERE ARE YOU!” she yelled.
“Can I help you?” Came a cheery voice from behind.
“LUNAS LEFT FLANK AND ALL THAT IS HOLY!!” Vinyl screamed in surprise. Turning around, she saw the pink one just centimeters from her nose. “Dude, Pinkie, don’t scare me like that.”
“Well do you need help?”
“No, im just looking for Tavi.”
“Well good luck with that.” Pinkie said, turning around. As she walked away, she couldn’t help but wonder why that name sounded familiar. If she didn’t remember soon, it would drive her to madness.
“TAVI!” Vinyl called out.
“Yes?” She responded.
“OH SWEET CELESTIA WHITE PLOT!” Vinyl yelped in fear. Turning around to speak to her friend, she gasped. “Geez, you're almost as bad as Pinkie, where were you anyways?”
“I was right here” Octavia said.
Vinyl remained skeptical, but said nothing.
“Well we should get head on to Lyra and Bon Bons home...” Octavia started, looking back at the wreckage left in the wake of the two mysterious ponies, “Before they blame us.”
“Good idea.” Vinyl agreed.
Arriving at the heartstrings residence, Vinyl burst through the door.
“The prodigal musician returns.” she yelled, completely ruining the moment Lyra was having with Bon Bon. Following Vinyl, Octavia entered the house.
“Lyra, Bon Bon, I have an offer I want to share with you, but I will wait until the others arrive.” Octavia said.
Getting up off the couch, a mint green unicorn with a lyre for a cutiemark stated, “Well, Ditzy and Spitz should be here really soon.” Looking out the window she continued. “Like ten seconds soon. Like ten.
nine
eight
seven
six”
eyes growing wide with concern, she thought “She won’t slow down, will she.”
“five
four
three
two
one-”
CRASH!!!
A grey coated, blond, wall eyed pegasus with bubbles for a cutiemark and a saddlebag with a muffin button, came crashing through the window, followed by another pegasus. This other pegasus was yellowish with an orange streaked mane and a flaming lightning bolt for a cutiemark.
“Sup Ditz, yo Spitball” Vinyl greeted them both.
Bon Bon got up, looking at all the shattered glass and broken furniture. “Ditzy! What have I told you about flying through the window?”
“Only when it’s open...” the derp eyed pegasus regrettably said. “But I have a good excuse this time, i was racing Spitfire and saw a butterfly.”
“It’s true.” said the yellow- orange pegasus.
Bon Bon sighed, “i guess that’ ok then, anywho, Octavia has news for us.”
“Yes!” the grey Earth pony said, adjusting her bow tie, “As you know, the Grand Galloping Gala is coming up, and Princess Luna... “gave” me six tickets.” she stated. “And by Gave, I mean that she is forcing me to go and I am going to force you all to go. so what is your answer.?”
