Chapter One: Canter to Canterlot
Hoof steps could be heard from behind a closed door. A knock was heard, as the pale pink mares eye's flicked opened. Another set of knocks came from the door.
A soft voice came from the pale pink mare "Hello?" it said to the pony knocking.
"Come on Rose! You are going to miss it!" A voice called from behind the door.
Rosey Posey, the pink mare, hopped out of her bed. She grabbed her brush and she stretched her wings. One stroke at a time, to get the knots out. She brushed her bright pale orange mane and tail and slipped of a tourqiouse hair band and tied her tail up in a matching band. She trotted out of the bedroom and towards a much brighter happier room were a brown mare sat on a couch with a remote-control/converter (Which other you prefer) gasped gently in her hoof.
"Hurry Rose! It's is just about on!" She beckoned Rosey Posey.
"Calm your hooves Cocoa! I'm coming! I'm Coming!" Rosey Posey said with a slight giggle as she sat beside Cocoa Bean. She smiled and focused on the T.V. as a white mare with a two toned blue hair and an interviewer appeared. She smiled as she watched Vinyl Scratch being interviewed. Vinyl was one of Rose's favourite pony of all time! She was her hero, her mentor! She looked up to the Djing unicorn. Rose smiled mischievously as she was thrown into deep thought. She beamed and turned to her sister "Lets go to Canterlot!"
Cocoa was obviously startled due to her sister's random outburst. Her mouth gaped for a few seconds before she spoke up "Canterlot? Are you crazy, girl!?" She asked shaking her head.
"Puh-leaase!" Rosey said resting her hooves of the brown Pegasus's arm. She sighed and removed her hooves as Cocoa Bean glared at her. "Okay, think about it this way: If we go to Canterlot I may get an agent or meet some famous pony with some sort of connections! It could be my big chance! Come on Cocoa! It's be fun! You could also join dance competitions!" She said smirking slightly as she said the last bit.
Cocoa's eyes widen "Well, now that you have explain it all! We will leave ASAP!" She said jumping from the couch and cantering to her room.
Rosey smiled as she heard the soft click of Cocoa Bean's door shutting and a quiet rustling noise. She hoped up and trotted to her own room, packing her yellow and orange dotted suitcase.
~~~
Cocoa and Rosey sat on the bench at the train station. Rosey smiled widely as her heart pounded in her chest. Thump, Thump, thump. She taped her hoof to the rhythm of her heart beat and imagined being on a stage with an expensive turntable, nearly breaking the walls of the building with the loud thumps emitting from the large speakers. She smiled and hummed the melody of one of her recent Songs. Cocoa turned towards the happy pony beside her and shook her gently as a long gray and brown train approached.
"Lets go rose! The trains here!" She said hopping up from the bench and grabbing her suitcase.
Rose smiled and stood. She grabbed her bag and trotted onto the train with a smile.
Rose sat next to her sister and stared out the window. The train started with a rumbled and a loud toot of it's horn. It started down the tracks with a clickity clack that slowly got faster as the train gained momentum. Rose listened to the clicking down the train made and bopped her head to it as if it were a song. she stretched her wings and laid them down, stretched one over her cutie mark, a vinyl record with three music notes on it.
~~~
Rose yawned and looked around. She didn't even noticed that she fell asleep. The Train stopped with a screech and Cocoa bolted awake.
"Come on Cocoa!" Rose said as she nudges her sister out of the seat. She grabs both the bags and trots off the cluttered train in excitement.
Cocoa Bean yawned and looked around "Come on! Lets get to the hotel..." She said grabbing her bag from her sister.
Rose nodded and followed closely behind. She blinked her bright red eyes and sighed as a pony gasped and shuddered at her eye colour. If there was one thing she liked about having red eyes, was that she had the same unlikely colour as her role model, Vinyl Scratch.
Rose and Cocoa both smiled as their hotel came into sight. They walked into it and knew right away that it wasn't going to be one of the best Canterlot had to provide, but it was just right for their taste. Rose trotted towards the check in desk and smiled at the brown pony behind it. "Hello!" Rose said with a smile.
The Mare behind the counter smiled "How can i help you today?" She asked with a brilliant, but almost forced, smile.
Cocoa spoke up "We are here to check in, under Cocoa Bean!" She said smiling
The mare nodded and handed Cocoa two room key cards "Enjoy your stay at the Sun Set Hotel" She said in her cheery voice.
Cocoa and Rose nodded a goodbye as they lugged their heavy suitcases towards the elevator. "DING" The doors flung open and the two mares trotted in side by side. A soft, quiet elevator music rang out as they pushed the button for level 18 and waited for it to go up. Rose longed for the loud rhythmic club music that came from those with the talent. She closed her eyes and sighed and listened the the soft whirring noise the elevator made, that of which not many ponies could hear. The elevator slowly rumbled to a stop and dinged as the doors flung open. Rose's eyes flung open in wonder, since it was much to early for their floor. She gasped in what she saw "DJ PON-3" She shouted in excitement.
The white unicorn winced at the pale pink pony's outburst "I prefer Vinyl Scratch when not in the club" She said with a glorious smile. She didn't quite have a good glimpse of the two other ponies in the elevator, as she was occupied with finding the right floor number.
Rose smiled widely and nodded "I'm Rosey Posey, and I adore your music! I am a Dj also, but my work can't even compare with yours!" She said being sure not to raise her voice.
Vinyl smiled "Nice to meet ya Rosey Posey! I bet your music is good too! I would love to listen to it one day!" She said smiling.
Rose nodded "I would love that! But you might have to wait awhile, I don't have any gigs for awhile" She said with a sharp sigh.
Vinyl smiled "Hey, if you would like you and your friend could come to my gig tonight! You can also spin a few discs if you would like!" She said looking at Cocoa.
Rose felt her cheeks turn crimson. It wasn't very noticeable because of her fur but her cheeks burned at the thought that she completely forgot about her sister "We would love that! And this is my sister Cocoa Bean" She said and nudged her sister lightly.
Cocoa smiled and leaned close to Rose. "Thanks for forgetting about me" She whispered in her embarrassed sister's ear
Rose rolled her eyes and turned back to Vinyl Scratch "So why are you at a hotel... like... this?" She asked tapped her hoof gently against the floor and flicking her tail gently
Vinyl chuckled "Well, usually there are always expensive and 'regal' ponies at more expensive hotels, I couldn't take one more dirty look, so I decided that Sun Set Hotel reminded me of my home back in Pony Ville" She said smiling as the elevator reached level 18. "Well this is my stop!" She said with a grin
Rose and Cocoa nodded and also grabbed their bags "Ours as well!"
The Three ponies trotted down the hall way until the party stopped in the hallway between 275 and 276. The exchanged glances.
Cocoa smiled at Vinyl "It was nice meeting you Vinyl Scratch! Seems that we are at our room!" She said turned towards 275.
Viynl Scratch chuckled slightly "Looks like I'm at my room as well! See you two at 8:30 p.m.?" She asked smiling
Rose nodded "We will be ready!" And with that the ponies entered there rooms.
(thanks to my awesome editer nothingandnobody)
Rosey Posey shook out her soft orange mane and tail. She blinked her eyes a few times and started to brush her mane.
Cocoa grinned at her sister as she brushed her own mane and tail. She straightened her hair and slid her beige glasses on. Ever since she was a foal she had a sight problem, a stigmatism in her left eye, so to fix that she got glasses.
Rosey slid on a black headband and smiled. She started to work on her tail. Once her tail was decently brushed, she tied it with a black ribbon, opposed to a band, with a small bow against her rump. She looked in a mirror and smiled. She thought and slid on a short red dress that she usually wore to clubs or other pony’s gigs. The dress was a deep red with a black saddle. The dress slightly puffed out behind the saddle.
Cocoa Bean slid on a dress similar to Rosey’s but it was purple instead of red. The two exchanged glances as they heard knocking at the door. Cocoa opened the door in wonder and smiled as she saw the blue and white DJ-ing pony.
“You two ready?” Vinyl Scratch said as she trotted into the room. She only had her signature purple sunglasses on. “I brought V.I.P passes for you two!” She said as her horn sparked in electricity and two VIP passes flew out behind her covered with a blue aura. “I thought I might as well give you two a good time!’” She said as the passes slipped over the two Pegasus’s necks. “Come on, let's go!” A blue blur zoomed out of the door.
Rosey smiled “Thanks Vinyl!” She said, and trotted after the pony with her sister trailing behind.
~~ ~~ ~~
The group was earlier than many other ponies, but the three had agreed to help set up. The club was fairly large, but when Vinyl Scratch played many ponies came. Rosey helped Vinyl set up the speakers a certain way while Cocoa made sure the lights were properly set up.
“Do you always rewire the speakers?” Rosey asked as she fiddled with a red wire
Vinyl nodded “Usually, they are almost never they way that I want.” She spoke with a certain charm that lots of ponies admired. “You see, if they aren’t set up they way I need them to then they will break which sometimes causes them to explode” Vinyl said as she pulled out a plug and switched it with another.
Rosey nodded “Sounds... necessary!” She said with a giggle, “I would never imagine that the speakers would explode!”
Vinyl grinned, “Well, it happens!”
Vinyl and Rosey finished with the last speakers as ponies started piling in. Cocoa zoomed down with a smile.
“Well, I better get ready!” Vinyl chimed and trotted off into a room with a flicked of her blue tail
A huge smile appeared on Rosey’s face “I’m at one of Vinyl’s gigs! AS ONE OF HER GUESTS!” She beamed and jumped around with glee. This caused Cocoa to laugh.
“So am I but, you don’t see me hopping around like a little filly! Now, stop that Rose!” She said with a laugh.
Rosey giggled “But I’m just so happy! Can I go brag to ponies?” She asked and started hopping off.
Cocoa pulled her silly sister back with a stern hoof.
“No, Rosey that is quite rude! Now, where are your manners!”
Rosey rolled her eyes “I was just kidding, I was going to go mingle.” She slipped off and looked around at the typical nightclub ponies.
Cocoa spun around and trotted towards the bar, hoping that the cider was good as the one at Apple Acres.
Rosey trotted over to a blue and purple Pegasus “Hello!” She said with a smirk. The pony turned around and raised an eyebrow at Rosey. Rosey gasped in awe at what she saw. It was in fact not a Pegasus, but an alicorn, but not any ordinary alicorn--Princess Luna! “Princess Luna? Fancy meeting you here”
“I enjoy going to clubs!” She said with a smile and a flick of her long mane.
Rosey smiled back “Really? Is Vinyl your favourite DJ or what?”
“Yes, but actually, I came to see this new pony! Her name is Pose… Never heard of her but, Vinyl Scratch is here so I guess that the new pony might be good if she was performing with Vinyl Scratch!’”
“Oh really? Vinyl never told me see was performing with another pony!” Rosey said with a smirk. Then she remembered what Vinyl had said:
"Hey, if you would like you and your friend could come to my gig tonight! You can also spin a few discs if you would like!”
Rosey thought she was only kidding when she told her that.
“She was talking about me!” Rosey said with a slight giggle then gasped, her jaw dropped to the ground, “I’m… Going… to… DJ… with… VINYL SCRATCH!” She said and hopped up and down
Luna giggled “Well then, Pose you have fun now” She said with a gentle smiled and slowly stepped away
Rosey stopped for a moment and looked at the Princess “The names Rosey Posey! It was nice meeting you” She called to her then flew back to her sister with a smile.
Cocoa was sipped from her mug of cider when Rosey landed beside her. “Hello Rosey, You look happy! What happened?” She asked then took a large gulp which finish off the sweet cider.
Rosey smiled “I met Princess Luna! See? I told you that mingling never hurt! Oh and I’m going to play with Vinyl!” She said with a low giggle.
Cocoa laughed at the way her sister said it. “Wow, you are really somethin’ sis!” She slammed her mug down and looked at waiter as he handed her another free cider for V.I.P.s.
Rosey opened her mouth to say a rude comment on Cocoa’s drinking problem, but was interrupted when the main lights flickered off and two spot lights of the colours blue and white zoomed around until they landed on a figure that was crowded by smoke. “LET'S GET THIS STARTED!” A harsh voice, that could only belong to Vinyl Scratch, shrieked out. Almost instantly a loud beat ripped through the silence and the crowd burst into cheers as their favourite DJ started playing. Rosey and Cocoa smiled and swayed slightly to the beat.
Rosey looked up at Vinyl and saw that the mare was waving for her to join her. Rosey was fast to accept and dashed up to her one and only idol. She landed beside her and smiled “Hey!”.
Vinyl smiled “Having fun?” She asked, keeping the best fast and steady as her horn sparked with electricity.
Rosey nodded “Yes, Are you?”
This question brought a very pleasing smile to the white unicorn’s face “Yes! LOTS!” She shouted and flipped a new disk onto the turntables and flipped a switch. “Hey when I’m done with track, wanna do the next one together?” She asked turned back to the audience so were either drinking at the bar or shaking their rumps on the dance floor.
Rosey smiled and looked at the crowd “I would love to! Just find me when you’re done!” She said slowly slipping off
Vinyl nodded “Alright!” She said and slowly made the beat drop only to bring it back with a new twist sending the crowd into a roar of happiness.
Cocoa smiled. “SO?” She shouted over the loud music to her excited sister.
The pink mare was beaming. “VINYL SAID THAT WE WOULD DO THE NEXT ONE TOGETHER! I’M SO HAPPY!” She yelled, and slowly yet gracefully swayed her rump to the beat, her front hooves also joining in and stomping to the loud thumping of the beat.
Cocoa smiled back and grabbed a mug of cider from the bar counter and sipped. “THAT'S GREAT!” She yelled back.
Rosey leaned close to Cocoa and whispered in her ear with worry. “How many have you had?”
The obviously drunk brown mare giggled and pushed her sister way “4 or 5! I lost count.” She said and drank all the cider in one gulp. She slammed it down and went to reach for another cider when somepony snatched it away. “Hey!” Cocoa said in anger.
Rosey set the mug away from her sister’s reach and turned towards the waiter “Give no more to her please” She smiled when the waiter nodded. She turned back to her pouting sister. “Let's go dance before you vomit,” she said, pushing the grumbling mare past a group of ponies of both genders.
Cocoa sneered at Rosey and sat down on the ground as Rose danced around.
It wasn’t long until Vinyl waved Rosey back up to the stage. Rosey carefully sat down beside the unicorn and smiled.
“Ready?” Vinyl said, levitating disks over the turntable
“Let's rock this club!” Rosey said, flipping switches as Vinyl gently placed disks down and spun them back and forth.
Rosey smiled and rocked her head up and down to the music that she made with Vinyl.
Vinyl gently nudged Rosey’s Rump with her own “Hey, Pose, how ‘bout me, you and your sister catch a bite to eat tomorrow? I would say tonight, but I think Cocoa needs the rest.” She said nodding her head towards the brown pony who slumped lazily against the wall and yawned slightly.
Rosey nodded then paused for a moment “Pose?” She said placing a disk down and scratching it lightly.
Vinyl smiled. “It’s a nickname! I give ALL my friends a nickname! For instance Cocoa Bean would be Coffee!” She said with a smirk
Rosey giggled “Coffee? Being creative now aren’t ya?” She said looking around at all the ponies happy faces
Vinyl laughed and continued her work in silence until she said a few minutes later “I think it’s cool that we have the same eye colour Pose.” She said with a smile. It was always hard to judge Vinyl’s expression when she had her glasses on.
Rosey nodded. “Yeah, Red.” She said with a slight chuckle.
A pair of turquoise-lens sunglasses slipped onto Rosey’s head. Vinyl smiled and glanced at her friend. “I thought that you would look cool with those on! And you do”
Rosey brought a hoof up to the glasses, slid them off gently, and examined them closely before sliding them back in front of her eyes “Thanks! You're so nice.”
“But don’t tell anyone!” Vinyl said, and continued with the song.
