As you walk towards the entrance of the club you see the neon sign colored blue, yellow and what seems to be a dark red. You notice the line that stretches down half the building. "Guess people want to get here early, I should get to work inside before something happens." You think as you walk up to the outside bouncer.

"Sir, you need to wait at the back of the line." The light gray stallion in a normal attire worn by a bouncer.

"I'm the new guy that works here, the new bouncer inside. Didn't the owner tell you?" You say not wanting to create a scene on the first day on the job, especially with another worker.

"What, your that ,human, creature? Should have guessed from the way you look." He put an emphasis of disgust on the word human. You feel offended but let it slip since you are a new creature to this world.

"Yeah, that would be me."

"Fine, go in, don't screw up newbie." The bouncer opened the door and let you through making sure no one else put you went through, shoving people in the process. As you look around you see that the place isn't as packed as you thought it would be for having a line outside. You notice that there's also a lot of lights going every where, a glow stick of sorts on a pony's neck or in their hand. trying not to get blinded by just looking into the crowed you go to the bar to see Bottle Shine working fast to get every one there orders.

"Hey Boss!" You yell over the bass drop. Shine looks over to you and nods towards the DJ booth, guess that's your cue to get to work. Walking towards the booth you have to wiggle through most of the crowd as they finish fist pumping but as you reach the booth the music has died down. You lean outside the booth on a wall watching the crowd for anything that seems harmful.

----Time passes through thirty minutes of different club songs----

You decide to check on the DJ while there's a calm, well calmer song playing other then loud dubstep. You go into the DJ booth seeing a white anthro pony with blue and aqua hair, sitting back in her chair with her headphones around her neck, staring into the crowd below.

"Hello? Ma'am you doing alright in here?"

"Huh?" she says looking over in your direction. "Yeah I'm doing fine, just needed a breather." she says exhaling deeply.

"Okay, may I ask your name?" You say as you walk over to a wall next to the DJ.

"You don't know who I am? The most famous DJ in all of Equestria?" She says not believing that you haven't heard of her.

"Sorry, but I'm kinda new to this, world, well I should say this universe." You say being serious about you not from this world.

"I should have figured from the looks of you, you don't really look like the average pony." The DJ states. You seem to feel that she's checking you out from under her purple tinted glasses.

"Well, this non-average looking ponies name is Jacob." You say sticking out your hand to shake.

"Names Vinyl Scratch, but you can call me Vinyl." She replies as she shakes your hand.

Once your done you look out through the glass window and see the crowd dying down with the music. But little do you know, a group of ponies just walked in looking for a certain some pony. As this goes under your radar, you look over to Vinyl who's now taken off her glasses revealing her magenta colored eye's and is looking inside her even smaller than mini mini-fridge.

"Wow" Was all you could get out.

Vinyl looks over to you and asks " 'Wow' What?'

"Your eyes, are they normally like that?" You ask not really knowing how to ask her.

"What do you mean, the color?" She asks a bit offended.

"Yeah, Their magenta.."

"Is that a problem to you?" She asks annoyed.

"No not at all!" You say trying not to insult her more. "Just, never seen eyes like that, it's cool" Saying that made her blush slightly.

"That's a first, most people think it's weird or strange, makes me seem like I'm, different." Vinyl says hanging her head low. You walk over to her and put your hand on her back.

"That's awful, but if it helps, I ain't jud-" You couldn't finish as you were Interrupted by a cough from behind you. As you turned around you got smacked in the face by a baseball bat. As you stumble back trying to keep your balance, you get kicked in the gut which made you double over and drop to your knees. You let out a grunt as you say "Y-you fucker.." You look up to see who assaulted you, it wasn't just one, but three dark grey unicorns in suits with baseball bats.

"Watch it bub, or you will be walking with the Timber wolfs!" The middle one said with a bat in hands. The others had switch blades out. "Anyways, we ain't here for you, we're here for this bitch!" He says giving Vinyl an enraged stare. "Now, Thunder, show her why you shouldn't back out on the 'Ice' family."

"No you're not" You say pulling out your M9 aiming it at Thunder stopping him in his tracks.

"What, you gonna throw a hunk of metal at me?" The mafia member says with a cocky look on his face.

"This ain't no 'hunk of metal' I'd love to show you what it does, but you won't like it." You say clicking off the safe.

"Sure as if you'd attack the Ice family, now you best scatter." Thunder says as he walks closer to Vinyl with his switch blade raised.

"Stop or I will fire, this your last chance." You say with a stern voice.

As Thunder keeps walking he says "Bite me you cree-" but that's all he got out before you shoot his hand, which takes off a few fingers. This just makes him look at his hand and hold it with his other as he screams. Th other two rub their ears as they look at their brother in shock which slowly turns into anger as they look over to you.

"You bastard!" Says the other knife wielding brother as he runs at you in a full charge. You aim at him but he's not stopping so you aim down and shoot his right knee cap. He stumbles then falls over grabbing his knee as he winces and groans at the pain. The one with the baseball bat just stares at you with anger.

"I suggest that you take your brothers and get a move on before I put one through your head and give the walls a new paint job." You say with no emotion on your face. It gets through to the brother that he won't win, so he helps up the brother with the busted knee cap as Thunder helps him on the other side. They hobble out of the booth and walk through the crowd that has already gone silent from the sound of the gun shots. You look over to Vinyl who just looks at you with fear. You put your sidearm back in it's holster as you put up your arms slightly in defense.

"Hey, I did what I had to do to protect you." You say trying to take her out of shock, this is going to be a long explanation.
