The Beginning

(note:this is my first Mlp fim fanfiction i am not the best writer so please leave some constructive critizism, thank you)

Chapter 1: The Beginning

It was just about the break of dawn in ponyville 4:01 in the morning to be exact. Vinyl was already awake getting ready for a new day. Vinyl was in the living room next to the bathroom the light was alittle dim but enough for her to see without her glasses. Vinyl went to the pantry and took out a piece of bread and put it in the toaster. She then went to the refrigerator and got some orange juice out. she then went to the couch and sat there eating her toast.

Minutes later Vinyl sees Octavia comming from her bedroom (Vinyl is Octavia's roomate due to vinyl not getting enough money to get her own house), her hair was all messy her brown coat alittle ruffled. Octavia looked at Vinyl and said "Hi Vinly good morning". "Good morning to you too Octavia". Octavia sat down near vinyl who is watching T.v, Vinyl looked at the clock and it read 4:35. "Hey Octavia shouldn't you get going, It's a long way to the Canterlot Orchestra" Vinyl said. "Oh, ya I better go get ready" Octavia said while walking to her bathroom, she then looked at Vinyl, "You should go brush your mane It's everywhere". Vinyl looked at the mirror posted on the wall "I guess you're right" vinyl said as she too went to her bathroom.

Later that day the sun was out and the birds were chirping like they always do. Vinyl was still jamming on her Homemade Dj system, after hours of jamming Vinyl went outside and put her glasses on and closed the door behind her. Vinyl then made her way to the park where she would just chill and watch the clouds go by. As Vinyl was walking to the park she was greeted by three ponies, one was Dr.Whooves, the other was Cheerilee, the last was a filly named Bon Bon. Vinyl noticed that Dr.Whooves and Cheerilee were talking to each other. "I wonder if those two are going out" thought Vinyl.

Finally Vinyl found the perfect spot, It was a big Oak tree on top of a hill near the park. She laid down on the ground next to it and she looked at the clouds for a couple minutes until she dozed to sleep.

After a couple of hours, Vinyl felt a slight kick on her shoulder and a soft voice saying "wake up Vinyl, wake up". Vinyl opened her eye's, She was greeted by a light green coated filly with light green mane with some white stripes on her mane, Vinyl looked at her flank It was some kind of small harp and then Vinyl jumped up with excitement too see her childhood freind Lyra Heartstring. "Lyra what are you doing here"?, I thought you were in fillydelphia for the year" asked Vinyl with joy in her voice. "Well my time there was cut short due to a parasprite infestation" answered Lyra. "So do you have a house of your own yet"? asked Lyra. "No, but I got Octavia too let me stay at her house as roomate's" replied Vinyl. "Oh really, how is she i haven't spoken to her since last year". Lyra said. "She doing fine and she got first chair in the Canterlot Orchestra". Vinyl said.

"Wow, I remembered being In the Orchesra but I quit because It was too hard for me". Lyra said Just then Vinyl's stomach growled "oh i guess im a little hungry" Vinyl said as she blushed alittle. "Hey about we go eat at the Cafe, they have some good daisy sandwich's" Lyra said. "okay let's go" Vinyl replied.

Meanwhile in the Canterlot Orchestra, "Okay class remember to memorize your music and yes leave your instruments here" said the music instructor ( he would always say that at the end of his class), The instructor was an old and wise colt with a white mane and a black-ish gray coat. As Octavia was leaving the class her stomach growled and she looked down at her stomach and rubbed it "Hmm i should probably get something to eat....i know the Cafe they serve the most wonderful daisy sandwhich's" Octavia said to herself.

Octavia decided to take the train rather than walk like she usually does everyday. It takes an hour to get back to ponyville and so she heads off to the cafe. She takes the long way to look at her surrounding's and to smell the flower's. When Octavia finally get's to the Cafe she stops and sees Vinyl and Lyra sitting and talking while eating daisy sandwhich's. She thinks to herself "When did Lyra get here?". Then she walks towards the Cafe. As she walked down to the Cafe vinyl saw Octavia and waved to her. "there you are Octavia how was your day"? said Vinyl. "It was good messed up some of my notes but all in all It was good". "that's good to hear Octavia" lyra said in cheerful voice with a smile. "Lyra when did you get here?" asked Octavia. "A few hours ago there was a parasprite infestation so I had to come back to ponyville" answered Lyra.

After a few hours of talking and eating the sky became dark so Octavia and Vinyl said good night to Lyra. When Vinyl and Octavia got home Octavia asked Vinyl "What were you guys talking about back there anyway"?. "Well we were just talking about how her life is going and how my life is goin and I said my life is going pretty well so is her's too" Vinyl answerd. "Oh well we better go to bed we have a long day tomorrow" Octavia said. "Okay" vinyl said.

The next day was very cloudy and the sun barely shining out and a little bit of wind. Vinyl woke up and sat up and rubbed her eyes while getting out of bed. Vinyl got her glasses and looked around, "Where is Octavia"? Vinyl asked herself as she walked to the kitchen she found a letter of the fridge.

Dear Vinyl, I went out to find Lyra i'll be back to watch you Dj tonight.

Sincerly Octavia.

Meanwhile Vinyl is setting up for tonight at THE CLUB she get's all her needed equipment her DJ system (of course) her stereo system, the speakers and a power cord. She then hooks up her Dj system and the stereo and her speakers all up to 9 different power outlet's the whole process takes her about two hours due to the fact that all the cords were tangled up but she manages to make due. Vinyl only does this kind of stuff alone because If one thing Is plugged into the wrong outlet everything could go awry and plus she modified all the cords to be different color.

When THE CLUB was open for business Vinyl got ready to drop the bass when enough people got in, after an hour of waiting there was almost everypony in ponyville was in THE CLUB that night. Vinyl was laying some sweet beats that everpony seemed to love and they danced to the beat. Vinyl then spots Lyra dancing it up more than everypony there that made Vinyl's heart fill with joy, she has never seen a filly dance that hard to the beat.

Vinyl then spots Octavia just sitting there by 2 other ponies, one was Bon Bon and the other was Pinkie pie, she would never miss a marty of this magnitude, they all were talking and having a good time while drinking water and juice and Pinkie pie eating cupcakes as usual.

When THE CLUB was closed and everypony was off going home Vinyl packed up everything in the back and walked out of the back door, there she found Lyra and Octavia just staring each otehr down with evil looks on there faces. Vinyl thought to herself "What are they doing?...staring contest?..nah not with those eyes what's going on?"

End of chapter 1

chapter 2: The Vinyl conclusion

Vinyl silently went home thinking about what she saw. "That was weird they just stared at each other for 8 minutes straight, there Is something going on that I don’t know about". When Vinyl got home she turned on the lights and was greeted by a sitting Octavia drinking what looked like tea. "Hey Octavia when did you get here?" said a confused Vinyl. "What ever do you mean Vinyl, I've been here for five minutes, where have you been?" said Octavia nonchalantly. "I was at THE CLUB and when i was done putting stuff away I went straight here" Vinyl answered.

Octavia took one last sip of her tea before putting it down and walking to her bedroom to get some shut. "Oh, right i must have forgotten" Octavia said while walking to her bed and turning off the lights.

Vinyl thought to herself, "That's weird how could she have forgotten when she WAS there...strange". Vinyl shrugged and turned on the TV, she turned down the volume to not disturb Octavia's sleep. Vinyl flipped through the channel's and stopped, her favorite TV channel was on, (The pony history channel) tonight's showing was a documentary on a pirate pony named *Black Mane the Filly Pirate*. Vinyl relaxed on the very comfortable couch that Octavia bought from *Mattress Colt*. As Vinyl began watching the documentary she thought to herself, "Maybe I should be a pirate".

Vinyl chuckled at her own comment and decided not to, there would be no power to make music. When the documentary was over Vinyl was laying and asleep on Octavia's couch breathing softly and her glasses on the ground.

Octavia wakes Vinyl up with a soft shake which makes Vinyl lose her balance and she falls the ground with a big "HMPH". Vinyl looks up to Octavia with her magenta eyes, "Ow my head what time Is It"? Vinyl asked. "Time to wake up, we need to get groceries and you get to help" Octavia said with a calm but stern voice and eye's looking in Vinyl's eyes. "Okay" Vinyl said with a groggy voice.

As Vinyl and Octavia were walking to the market Vinyl asked "so, what do we need to get anyway", "We need to get four carrots, two head's of lettuce, and a baker's dozen of apple's", Octavia answered. Vinyl let out a low sigh, vinyl never did like shopping, too boring for her.

Vinyl checked her saddlebag and got her favorite blue headphones, she puts them on her head and starts to listen to music she then moved the left side of her headphones back so that her ear's were showing. Just then Octavia stopped, Vinyl walked into Octavia and asked, "Why did you stop?" while rubbing her head to relieve the little pain she had from bumping into Octavia. "Vinyl theirs a sale on carrots, four carrots for two bit's" Octavia answered, "you stopped for that?" Vinyl said, but It didn't matter, before Vinyl could say anything Octavia was already walking towards the carrot stand, Vinyl then noticed Lyra walking to the same carrot stand.

Vinyl couldn't believe what happened next, Lyra, one of the nicest ponies she knew tripped Octavia. Octavia got up and looked at Lyra straight in the eye, "The hay was that for!" Octavia said in rage. "What...oh my did I do that, must have been an accident" Lyra said in a smug voice while lifting her hoof up and turning her head slightly but still looking at Octavia. "I know you did that on purpose, and you know what, I never did like you Lyra" Octavia said. "Well I never liked you either" Lyra said with a mean look at Octavia. Both Lyra and Octavia were up in each other's face and that's about the time where everypony was staring at them. "Umm guy's can we both stop this, there is really no need for that kind of talking" Vinyl said trying to get her voice to reach the two mare's but there was no use.

After the Incident between the two mares Octavia got the carrots and went to Vinyl and took off Vinyl's saddlebag and put it on herself, Octavia now had two saddlebags, she then galloped towards home, Lyra galloped home too. Vinyl sat down on her butt and looked at the sky, "Man, what am I going to do, I guess they were acting friendly around each other because they didn't want to see me upset" Vinyl said to herself in a low voice. Then Vinyl had an idea, "I know I'll get some help too find out how to make Lyra and Octavia friend’s again" vinyl said while hopping to her hooves.

Vinyl galloped to Sweet Apple Acre's, Vinyl hoped that Applejack would have an idea on how to get Octavia and Lyra to stop fighting. When vinyl got to Sweet Apple Acre's, Vinyl was greeted a red coated stallion, "Well hey there Vinyl what bring's you here?" asked Big Macintosh. "I'm here to see Applejack, Big Mac, Vinyl answered.”Well you're just in luck, Applejack just got done with her chores, and she’s over there in the barn" Big Mac said. "Thanks’", Vinyl said while galloping to the barn. "Applejack I need your help", Vinyl said while panting, "Octavia.....Lyra....fighting", Vinyl began while panting, trying to catch her breath.

Applejack looked at Vinyl, "Now hold on there sugar cube Applejack said in her southern accent, "now what's got you in such ah panic?" Applejack asked. "Octavia and Lyra...they're fighting and I need your advice...if you got any” Vinyl said finally catching her breath. "Hmm...Well why are they fight’ in" Applejack asked. "Well at first I thought It was because Lyra tripped Octavia but I heard Octavia said that she never liked Lyra, so It must be something more but I don't know”, Vinyl answered in a sigh.

Applejack thought for a few moments’, and then it hit her. "How about this sugar cube, give both of them letter's saying that
Lyra/Octavia will give an apology at so and so place, just make sure they are in a quite place and then lock them up in a room all by themselves and hopefully they will sort thing's out" Applejack said with a smile.

Vinyl got to work making the fake letters to Lyra and Octavia, vinyl wrote to Lyra

Dear, Lyra
I want to apologize for what happened earlier, please come to Zecora’s house in the Everfree forest in one hour.

Sincerely, Octavia

Vinyl made another letter exactly like the first but with the names switched to Lyra to Octavia and Octavia to Lyra.

When Vinyl got both the letter’s done, Vinyl headed off to there houses, “I hope this works” said Vinyl while slipping Lyra’s note In Octavia, Vinyl trotted over to Lyra’s house and Vinyl slipped Octavia’s note in Lyra’s house.

Vinyl headed off to Zecora’s, Vinyl put a note on the door and waited behind a tree sitting down next to the tree, putting on her headphones. After what seemed to be forever the two mares finally got to Zecora’s hut. The two mares came on opposite direction, the first to come to the door was Octavia, and Octavia looked at the note attached to the door it read

Welcome, come on inside

Octavia looked confused but she put the note back on the door and walked in. Just then Lyra came up to the door, she was about to knock when suddenly she spots a note on the door, she read it

Welcome, come on inside

Lyra looked at the note and said “This seems rather odd; I wonder why Zecora put this note on the door?” Lyra went inside only to see a sitting Octavia. “You!” said Lyra with rage in her voice. “What are you doing here?” Said Octavia with a slight of confusion, “I’m here because I got this letter saying you were going to apologize to me” Lyra said, “I got the same letter but with your name on it” Octavia said.

They both looked at the door to see a sad Vinyl. “What’s wrong Vinyl” Octavia said with sincerity in her voice. “Why…why are you two fighting” said a crying Vinyl. “I guess It’s time to tell her, wouldn’t you say Lyra?” said Octavia, “It can’t be helped” Lyra said. “Vinyl there’s something we need to tell you” Octavia said Vinyl looked up and saw the two mares smiling, “What?” Vinyl said wiping the tear’s from her face, “We’re not really made at each other, it was all a prank” Lyra said putting her arm around Vinyl for comfort. “So it was all a prank?” Vinyl said still looking down, “yes remember the day I came back and you were sleeping? Well I saw Octavia and said if she wanted to pull a prank on you” Said Lyra, “oh” Vinyl said standing to her hooves, “Vinyl please don’t be mad at us” Octavia said in a calm voice.

Just then Vinyl started laughing, “Ahaha, wow that was a pretty good prank” Vinyl said while laughing, “so you’re not mad at us?” Octavia said, “of course not it was really good prank” Vinyl said as her laughter died down. “Well no use staying here any longer, let’s celebrate with a party” Said a mysterious pony. All three mares looked and they saw a pink pony with curly looking cotton candy mane, it was pinkie pie.

They followed pinkie to Sweet Apple Acre’s and were surprised to see everypony in ponyville there. “What’s all this for?” Vinyl said looking at the decoration’s, “Well when you said your friends were fighting ah just thought maybe a party would cheer them up” Applejack said blushing. “aww thank you everypony but I found out they were just pranking me” Vinyl said who was also blushing, “Well that sure was a mean joke”, Applejack said”, “let’s all enjoy this party, It’s going to be the biggest most spectacular Pinkie party ever”, Pinkie pie said as she blew on her party blower right behind Vinyl, which scared her a bit and made her fall on a table.

Vinyl rolled off her bed and the next thing she knew she was on the floor, “What the...Where am I?” Vinyl asked herself while rubbing her head, Vinyl then saw Octavia come in Vinyl’s room, “Are you alright Vinyl?”, “What happened?”, “What ever do you mean Vinyl?, all you did was thrash around in your bed and tearing up then you fell off the bed”, Octavia answered, “Oh I was asleep?” Vinyl asked, “Yes, you were”, Vinyl thought, “So it was all just a….dream?” there was a moment of silence before Vinyl said, “Hey Octavia when is Lyra coming back?” Vinyl asked, “She’s at her parent’s house for the year, but I got an email saying there was a um a parasprite infestation remember?” Octavia answered. Vinyl looked at Octavia then at the room, “says Octavia are you going to try to prank me?” Vinyl asked, “Why do you say that?” Octavia asked, Vinyl got to her hooves and said, “no reason, no reason at all”.

The End.
