Load Full StoryNext Chapter

In the little town of Ponyville there is a house on a hill, it is owned by two ponies.

One is a DJ who cleans the dishes with.... wubs, the other one is a sophisticated cellist.

They are a little low on bits because neither of them have made a really good album, so they need to rent out the spare bedroom in the attic to make payments.

After a few days of waiting somepony sent a letter saying. "Hello, I am Prime Timber and I have to say this room looks good, the package has my first payment of bits. I will be coming in two days, hope to see you both soon. Fyi I am glad you two are fellow musicians."

It has been two days since then and the two ponies are currently waiting on Octavia's couch, she had a small glass of wine while Vinyl had a big cup of hard apple cider.

Octavia asked, "I wonder who this stallion is, will he have good tastes, be nice, or if he is even a good musician?"

Vinyl took a giant swig out of her cider and shrugs.

Just as she finishes they heard a knock, Octavia said, "I'll get that, if you get it then he might run." Vinyl gave her a very cross look, she walked over to the door and opened it.

What she saw shocked her, it was a timberwolf with glowing red eyes, it was a little taller and wider then a stallion, but besides that, he looked exactly like a normal timberwolf, it yawned out, "uuuurraaghh."

She thought is was a battle cry and grabbed her chello, the wolf was about to open it's mouth, but she brought down her chello right on his head and kept hitting him, it yelled, "OW OW OW THIS F**KING HURTS, PLEASE STOP PLEASE PLEASE OW OW OW!"

He got up and started to run as fast as he could, though he fell down courtesy of Vinyl's magic, she drug him over to the chello wielding Octavia, he yelled out." I JUST WANTED A ROOM!"

Vinyl stood still, after a second the light bulb in her head lit up, she ran back inside to get the letter, she read the name again, Prime Timber. Obviously timber meant timberwolf, she ran out to Octavia who was currently beating him up with her prized chello.

Vinyl ran next to her and showed her the guy's name, Prime Timber, Octavia looked at the wolf and back at the door, she saw two bags sitting there.

Her eyes widened at what she did, she dropped her chello and asked him, "what is your name?" He stood up shacking a little bit and said, "P-P-Prime Timber."

He dropped down putting his paws over his head and started to whimper, she looked at him and said, "I'm so sorry mister Timber, I am so, so sorry, I'm just used to ether running or fighting anything weird in Ponyville, have you seen the history of this little town?"

He looked at her and said, "Well, this isn't the first time I got beat up for being half timberwolf, Canterlot bullies in school did NOT like me, being both a nerd and a wolf, it really gets you beat up. Thank Celestia I can reconstruct or I'd be dead."

Octavia said, "Please come in, we're so sorry."

They walked in, Prime took his bags in and they closed the door. The two sat down on the couch while Prime Timber sat on the floor. Vinyl used her magic to get a glass and hovered a bottle of cider for Prime to pour,

Octavia said, "Vinyl please, I'm sure he would prefer some of my wine."

Prime replied, "Well, based on what just happened, I could use the whole bottle of cider."

He grabbed the bottle out of the air, it was almost full by the way, and Primed chugged it. In a minute without a break, he finished off the bottle, and he set it down on the counter, Octavia was surprised while Vinyl nodded with a smile.

He looked at them and said, "What are your names?"

Octavia replied. "My name is Octavia, I prefer a chello. And this is Vinyl, or DJ pon-e."

He asked them another question, "As you two know I am Prime Timber, but call me Prime and do you want to hear me rock a violin?"

They nodded, he took out a beautiful violin that looked hoofed carved, he stood on two legs, put the violin on his neck and started to play.

I know jack about the violin, took it at 6, forgot it over 12 years.

After a beautiful/ kick ass violin solo he put it back in the case, Vinyl was shocked that somepony could play a fancy instrument that good, Octavia had a tear drop down her check.

They clapped their hoofs for his performence, Octavia said, "That was beautiful."

He replied, "Well, these songs got me through college."

"What did you take in college?" Octavia asked.

"Well, I'm an inventor, I am currently here to take a part time job. There are no part time jobs in Canterlot, but here there is."

Octavia and Vinyl looked at each other then looked at him, Octavia asked, "Well I hope you mind me asking, but, how were you made?"

His look turned from happy to annoyed, he replied, "I don't like to talk about it, but I know you two will stay curious and ask me later so lets rip this bandaid off fast.

Well all that I know is that my Mom was a changeling who got lost in the Everfree forest, after a few days of staying with a pack of timberwolfs.... she got out with me inside her."

He shivered a little bit. "She found out she had me a few days later, she did NOT want me to live with the changelings so she went to Canterlot, she had to talk with Celestia, who doesn't take kindly to changelings, for a few hours they talked.

My Mom took the form of a pony which was drawn out and lived as a normal unicorn there. That's the story of my creation and being born in Canterlot." Vinyl and Octavia were staring in shock at his past.

Octavia said, "Well, that was interesting to say the least, we'll show you your room Mr. Prime."

He grabbed his bags with his paws and the violin case with his mouth. They walked up to the attic, the stairs were in good condition and wide enough for Prime to fit through comfortably, when they got up there, there was a door with a lock.

Vinyl used her magic to lift the key she brought with her to open the door, Prime walked in and looked around the room, it was about the size of an apartment in Manehattan, there was a bed, chest, and a window.

He set his bags down and said, "This is better then I expected, what are my chores and what is the meal plan?"

Octavia told him, "Your chores are to take out the trash, make breakfast, and don't trash this place, unless it's one of Vinyl's parties. The meal plan is whatever you make for breakfast and dinner, we'll tell you what lunch is."

"Okay, that all sounds fair."

She used her magic and floated the key to Prime's paw, he said, "Thanks, whens lunch?"

She replied, "We'll tell you when."

He nodded back at her and they left, he thought, "This place is way nicer than my old room in Canterlot, what is even better is no Mom!" He jumped on the bed and laid down, "This is gonna be one bucking good place to live."
