A Change in Heart

Outside the Everfree forest, 45 minutes later…

The Elements of Harmony got ready for the evening ahead of them. They got on simple but stylish outfits designed by Rarity herself, and they were on their way to the edge of the Everfree forest to meet Black Daze.

"So do you think he's ready?" Fluttershy asked. She was wearing a simple green longskirt with a pale green top.

"Ah believe so. He doesn't sound like he takes long tah get ready for anythin'." Applejack said to Fluttershy. Applejack was wearing cowgirl boots with her Stetson hat and a feminine vest.

"I do believe I see him up ahead~" Rarity sang. She had on an elegant blue dress with lipstick and eyeliner.

"I can't tell, it's hard for me to see in the dark." Rainbow said to Rarity. Rainbow Dash had on a short rainbow skirt and nothing else. She wasn't much for dressing up.

"I think it's him…" Twilight said, squinting her eyes. She had on a star themed dress and some star shaped earrings.

"Yeah, I see him! HEY DAZE, OVER HERE!" Pinkie Pie called out, Daze waved at them in response. Pinkie Pie was wearing a fluffy pink hat with a poofy dress.

"Wait for me!" Trixie shouted, running up to daze then stopping beside him.

"I thought you weren't going, what caused this...change in heart?" Daze questioned.

"Oh just a personal reason is all, no need to worry. At least we can have some fun together right, Dazey?" She said in an innocent tone.

"Yeah, the more the merrier…am I right?" Daze chuckled nervously. Then they all met together and headed to the nightclub.

The Nightclub…

It was pretty much like any other nightclub you've been to. There were flashing lights, a line, a tough looking bouncer, and from the outside you could hear the music; OONTZ~ OONTZ~ OONTZ~ OONTZ~ OONTZ~ OONTZ~

"This is a nightclub? Definitely NOT what I expected..." Daze muttered to the Elements of Harmony.

Twilight and company walked up to the bouncer, who recognized them as the Elements of Harmony. He nodded and let them in without any objections. Then Daze and Trixie walked up. The bouncer took one look at Daze and started to sweat. Daze noticed this and decided to have a little fun. He walked up, towered over the bouncer, flared his nostrils and gave his best rictus. That did it for the bouncer, he quickly let him in out of fear and closed it again when Trixie tried to walk in.

"Wh-what is the meaning of this…do you know who I am!" Trixie whined.

"It's ok, she's with me." Daze grumbled, poking his head out the entrance. The bouncer let her in immediately. Best not to invoke the wrath of the big scaly-armed lizard…pony…thing…

Over at the turntables, a white unicorn with a blue and violet mane was cranking out some tunes. She used her magic to hit a record and it began to play a different beat. It was lower and faster than before, and the drop was timed perfectly. Naturally, this should be expected of Ponyville's best disc jockey. She saw the tall reptilian pony walk in the room and she was…well…smitten, for lack of a better word. Something about him…perhaps his exotic look or his strong build really appealed to her. She decided to work the turntables for a little while longer before going off to meet this mysterious visitor.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and Applejack went to the bar to have a drink or two…or three, Rarity went to talk to the stallions, Twilight went away just because Trixie was near Daze, and Fluttershy was behind Daze. She did not know what to do and was totally lost in this environment. Pinkie was on the dance floor being…well Pinkie.

"Come on Fluttershy, surely there's something you'd like to do…" Daze said, trying to get the yellow Pegasus off his flank so he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"It's very loud in here, I don't like loud…" Fluttershy said as loud as she could so Daze could (barely) hear her.

"Well then I suppose we could go get a drink, that should calm you down." Daze responded. He knew what kind of drinks were being served judging by how the ponies that were drinking them looked, he knew very well what alcohol was and how it could be a mild relaxant, or a heavy poison. He also knew the difference between the two.

They walked over to the drinking table and took a seat. Applejack and Rainbow Dash had each had a drink and were just mildly relaxed, they turned to Daze, who was sandwiched between Fluttershy and Trixie. Applejack spoke first.

"Say Daze, whatcha say we have a drinkin' contest? Winner has to do what the loser says." Applejack challenged.

Daze wasn't about to be beat by a girl. He had never officially had alcohol before, but how hard could it be? "You are ON!" He shot back, getting a determined look in his eyes and a smug grin.

"And I challenge you to the same, under the same rules." Rainbow Dash said to Trixie. She nodded, slightly more comfortable now that Twilight was out of the way. Fluttershy just ordered a small drink and sipped it, quietly cradling it between her forehooves.

"Ready big guy?" Applejack said, holding her shot of hard cider in hoof. Daze responded with a chuckle and a shot of hard cider in his…claw. (or should I say hand? I dunno. I'll use them interchangeably I guess) With a slamming of Applejack's hoof on the counter, both contestants downed their drinks in one gulp. Applejack wasn't the slightest bit changed, neither was Daze. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash had just downed her second shot and Trixie had downed her first. Trixie and Rainbow Dash both looked a little tipsy however…

I guess the 'Great and Powerful' Trixie can't hold her liquor. Daze mused to himself.

"Round two, GO!" Applejack shouted, downing number two. Daze felt no different, neither did Applejack.

"Round three, GO!" Applejack downed another one and so did Daze. Applejack started to look a bit different, but Daze still didn't feel any different. Meanwhile, Both Rainbow Dash and Trixie looked to be in sad shape. He could hear Rainbow Dash slurring.

"R-round two and three q-quartersss, Go!"

"But R-rainbow, we just had round two and three quartersss…or w-was it round two and a half…" Trixie slurred back, equally as tipsy.

"Oh you're so smart, Trixie…This..this is why I love you…" Rainbow Dash giggled, her eyes having developed bags from her alcohol consumption.

"I lo-looove you too, Rainbow Dash! Let's go say hi to Twilight!" Trixie responded in a haze. Whoa, she was more wasted than Black Daze originally thought! He'd have to keep an eye on them to make sure things didn't get out of hoof.

"Round four, GO!" Applejack proclaimed, causing Daze to snap back and take another drink. Applejack did the same and didn't change much other than sloppily putting her drink back on the counter to get a refill.

"B-boy…I reckon yer better than I expected…But Applejack's going to win this one! Y-you'll see." She beamed before shouting "ROUND F-FOUR, GO!"

"We just had round four, Applejack." Daze replied calmly.

"Oh y-yeah! I knew that. Round five, GO!" And she took another drink. Daze took another and finally he felt the alcohol go to his head. He felt more relaxed than before, and maybe his judgement was impaired. It was hard to tell, however. He looked into Applejacks eyes and saw they were half closed and she looked exhausted. She was losing this, and he didn't want her to faint from this...

"Are you sure you're gonna win this? You aren't looking so good…" Daze said out of concern.

"Y-YEAH! I'll win, just you watch. Round s-s-six! GO!"

She downed one more, and then her head fell on the table. Daze downed number six and looked at Applejack quizzically. A few seconds later, he heard light snoring.

"Well, it looks like I win this one…" He said quietly. He figured his dragon-like system also gave him an extremely high tolerance for alcohol. He'd have to tell Applejack what she had to do tomorrow. He took Applejack's limp body and threw it over his shoulder. Then he had to find Rarity and tell her what happened. But first, he noticed Fluttershy who was looking at him with a strange look on her face. Perhaps she was confused as to why he was carrying Applejack.

"Er um…she couldn't exactly h-hold her liquor…" Daze nervously stammered.

"It seems that way, anyway, I feel a little better now, thanks for staying by my side, Daze." Fluttershy cooed.

"Welcome." Daze responded with as little words as possible. He was feeling quite lax himself, the alcohol affecting his system now. Fluttershy followed Daze and soon they found Rarity. Her and Twilight were talking to two gentlecolts. One of them was a tan Unicorn with a dark brown mane, dark blue eyes, and a skinny build. The other was a mahogany Pegasus with a black mane and a larger build and yellow eyes. They took one look at Daze and were overcome with worry as they began shaking.

"Piper…" The mahogany one said, "Have we perhaps had too much to drink…?"

"Not if we're seeing the same big scary monster in front of us…Maroon." The tan one responded, causing both of them to whimper. The fact that he was carrying a passed out pony on his shoulder didn't ease their fears either.

Black Daze didn't take to kindly to being called a monster and let out a mild roar of annoyance at the gentlecolts. They both huddled closer when suddenly Rarity stepped between them and Daze.

"Black Daze, don't be mean to these poor gentlecolts, they probably haven't seen anything like you is all. Isn't that right, Maroon."

"Y-you got that right, Miss Rarity…Why is his name Black Daze?" Maroon asked.

"Because that's the last thing you'll see before I kill you." Black Daze threatened, but not seriously. As much as he was already annoyed with them, he didn't have the heart to kill them. He did, however, have the heart to scare them out of their wits. The two stallions let out an almost feminine squeak and simultaneously fainted. Daze started to laugh, enjoying the good fun he was having with these two. Rarity only walked up to Daze and stared daggers directly into his eyes.

"That was heartless of you, those poor men were scared of you and you did nothing to ease their fear. You could've been their friend, but instead you chose to scare them out of their wits! Why is that? And more importantly, why is Applejack asleep on your shoulder?" Rarity squawked.

"I dunno, not used to making friends I guess. Gimme a break here, I'm new at this. And Applejack and I got into a 'drinking competition' I think is what you call it and she couldn't quite surpass me..." Daze then muttered under his breath "…though for the record, I'm not sorry for scaring them…"

"Well, alright fair enough. But be more careful from now on. And that's quite a shame; Applejack can hold her liquor better than any of us. I suppose you're a natural at that…" She shuddered. "…Barbaric activity…"

"Yeah I noticed she's better…" Daze muttered, noticing Rainbow Dash and Trixie bothering poor Twilight who was still shocked that Piper, the colt she was talking with, was fainted and on the ground.

"Well, I suppose we shall keep an eye on Applejack, and when our dates wake up…"

"IF they wake up…" Daze grinned evilly.

This earned him a nudge on the shoulder from Twilight. "Oh come on, they're clearly breathing. No need to be so pessimistic." Twilight scowled.

"Hey relax, I was kidding." Daze defended himself.

Rarity waited for them to stop talking then rolled her eyes. "…IF they wake up, then we'll explain to them that you WON'T kill them and that we have to watch after our drunk friend foolish enough to challenge you." Rarity finished.

"Sounds fine by me…What about you Flu-….Fluttershy?" Daze looked at Fluttershy with a surprised expression. Fluttershy was talking to another stallion. SHE was talking to HIM! The alcohol must've really loosened her up. The stallion was a Unicorn with an orange coat and a short well kempt blonde mane. Daze figured to just leave them be.

Black Daze walked up to Twilight and asked her, "So who was this colt? Your boyfriend?"

Twilight began blushing like mad. "N…No! He isn't. We just met and he's a very nice guy. I think you owe him an apology when he-"

"-IF he gets up." Daze put on another evil grin as he held up a claw.

"Would you quit saying that! It's not like you plan to ACTUALLY kill them…do you?" Her face began to express actual worry.

"Nah, that ain't my style. But for the record, scaring them was incredibly fun. I honestly don't regret it." Daze began to chuckle.

"Whatever, just don't get in the way whe…IF they get up." Twilight groaned facehoofing at 'if' partially because she actually said it.

"Wonderful. Now to go off and hang with Trixie, assuming she can still stand, that is." Daze said, gazing at Trixie who was leaning heavily on Rarity while Rainbow Dash was struggling to stay awake on the floor. He walked over to her friend who was in a drunken stupor. He placed his hand around her waist and lifted her up, placing her on his shoulder. She let out a small *hic*before asking him with a slurred voice.

"D-d-dazzeyy? Where are w-we going? I was having fun back theeerrreee…" She whined, hanging onto his neck.

"Geez, you're more drunk than Applejack. Well, maybe not but you act more drunk than she did. We need to get you home before you do something you regret." Black Daze scolded.

"Buh…but I'm just fine! Weally, I only had a little bitty b-bit to drink… *hic* It's not like I'm too t-tippsyyy! You act like I'm buck as druuunk." She had to be repositioned around Daze's neck since she was starting to fall off.

"That's all the proof I need, we're going home." Daze began walking casually towards the exit, Trixie in tow.

Just then, he walked past Fluttershy. She was dancing with the same stallion as earlier, but something was off about him. Daze took a closer look and saw that he was…not showing proper respect. Poor Fluttershy was so relaxed that she didn't see him 'eyeing certain areas of her body.' Normally Black Daze wouldn't give a flying buck, but Fluttershy was ONE: The Element of Kindness and TWO: the only one who showed him genuine compassion out of the six. Ergo, he did care. Still carrying the drunk Trixie on his back, he walked over to the twosome and cleared his throat, causing both of them to turn around. Fluttershy greeted him warmly. "Oh, hi there Black Daze, have you met my dance buddy Harvest yet? He's a business pony that owns the lumber company."

Daze extended his arm out, he flared his nostrils for extra intimidation. "Charmed." He growled.

Harvest chuckled nervously and reluctantly shook hooves. (Well, one hoof and one claw)

"So you're the monst-" before he could finish Daze squeezed his hoof significantly harder.

"Yow! Leggo leggo leggo!" He shrieked, causing some ponies to turn and look.

"Go ahead, finish that word. I bucking dare you…" Daze snarled.

"Ohhwowowow okay okay I give just let go for Celestia's sake!" Harvest whined. Daze let go of his hoof.

"Thank you…as I was saying, you must be the….thing….Fluttershy here keeps talking about. She tells me you live in the Everfree forest?" Harvest questioned, rubbing his hoof. The ponies previously watching from before went about their usual business, having lost their interest.

"I've lived there over half my life." Daze said flatly. He wondered if he could find more reasons to beat this guy up.

"W-well then…that's rather interesting. So since you seem to be the sentient authority of the forest…"

"I'm the Apex predator, not the authority." Daze grumbled, his ears folding back slightly.

"…Right...do you know the authority of the forest by any chance?" Harvest questioned, getting more creeped out by Daze by the second.

"Isn't Celestia technically the authority, being supreme ruler and all?" Daze asked curiously.

"I talked to Celestia, and she said she wasn't. Luna wasn't either. Celestia told me that there was another being who lived inside there that could be called the 'authority.' I figured she was off her rocker, but I have a hunch she meant you." Harvest explained. Then he cleared his throat and spoke again. "I have to say, you're not what I had in mind…"

"What, you expected someone taller?" Daze said, his words laced with sarcasm as he stood up straight to emphasize his height.

"No…No that's not what I meant. I just expected someone…more normal?" Harvest cringed slightly, hoping he didn't offend Black Daze.

"I'll let that one slide. But I suppose I am the authority. Even though the Everfree forest is such a big place…" Daze grunted, thinking to himself about the possibility that there was another being out there Celestia meant. He doubted it.

"Um, okay then. So, authority of the Everfree forest, can you help me with a predicament I'm having...?" Harvest asked, and stood up straight.

"I might…" Daze responded, interested in what Harvest was getting at.

"Good! Good. Well you see… our company's current forest is running low. Since Sweet Apple Acres is too useful for the economy and the Changeling forest is too far away to be cost effective, perhaps you would be willing to sell some…and by some I mean most…of the Everfree forest to the Lumber business?" He shifted nervously from where he stood. "It would be beneficial to both our sides. Our company would continue to prosper for years to come, and we'll pay handsomely for the forest. It's a win-win. What do you say? Have we got a deal?" He regained some of his confidence and held out his hoof.

Daze had to resist the urge to pound his face in he wanted to destroy most of his favorite playground/home so someone too accustomed to luxury could have a nice chair to sit on when the ground was free and didn't need any trees. What would they do if they ended up taking down his home? What would him, Trixie, and Chrysalis do? Not to mention, hikers wouldn't have many places to hike anymore. As much as Daze didn't care for hikers, he didn't think they deserved to be affected by such a decision. This city slicker was pushing Daze's hot buttons, and he was probably not going to take no for an answer. Well, one way to find out.

"Nope, not for sale." He said with no detectable kindness in his voice.

"Oh really, well you'll see I have other ways of convincing ponies." Harvest began to smirk slightly, looks like Daze was right about not taking no for an answer…Still wasn't going to change anything.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm not a pony." Daze said, ruining Harvest's cliché line with logic. Harvest didn't speak for a few seconds.

"…Be that as it may, you're still selling the forest to me whether you want to or not. Piper! Maroon! Get over here!"

The two colts he met earlier walked to Harvest's side. "What is it boo-o-O-AAHH!" Piper squealed as he saw Daze in front of him again.

"Boss, why are you talking to that beast? Have you finally gone bonkers?" Maroon whispered, shivering at the sight of Black Daze.

"I'll make YOU go bonkers if you don't shut up!" Harvest snapped. "Now listen, this guy's the authority of the Everfree forest. He was so rude that he turned down my generous offer of buying most of the forest off of him. We NEED that forest, so we're gonna teach him a lesson. Got it?" Harvest was significantly more confident now, despite the fact that Black Daze was a lot taller than him.

"Are you crazy! Look at him! We'll be pulverized in seconds!" Piper squeaked. Black Daze cracked a rictus and snorted at them with the purpose of extra intimidation. Daze set Trixie to the side and she stumbled to watch the scene unfolding with half-lidded eyes.

"Not when I do this, he won't." Harvest responded, and his horn glowed a light orange hue as his associates began to glow the same color. Daze was curious as to what he was doing, then he got his answer a few seconds later when Maroon and Piper both let out battle cries at the same time and simultaneously socked Daze in the jaw, causing Daze to see stars and slump to the floor for a second. After he recovered, he got back up, dusted himself off, and turned to Fluttershy who was distracted by the loud music and flashing lights.

"Hi Daze… What's going on?" She was completely oblivious to what was happening.

"Nothing major, just giving Harvest and his henchmen a proper greeting…go find Rarity and stay out of the way, it's gonna get ugly real quick…" Daze groaned then rubbed his jaw. They were surprisingly strong.

"O-okay, are you sure I can't stay here? We were having a nice conversation, Harvest and I."

"What is going on over here? Maroon, Piper, explain yourselves." An English voice squawked as Rarity came into view followed by Twilight, who was equally as surprised.

Maroon and Piper just looked at each other, got an evil grin, then they attacked Rarity with a right to the chin, and Piper slapped Twilight. They both were horrified to say the least, Twilight put a hoof to the side of her face and but on a scowl.

"Hey, what was that for?" Twilight snapped and used her magic to fling them to the side.

"Just what did you do to them?" Daze demanded, his irises shrinking menacingly.

"Just a little rage spell is all. Now, I'll ask again, do we have a deal?" Harvest threw his jacket to the side, ready to fight alongside his henchmen who returned by his side with looks of forced anger.

"…In your dreams, bucko. I'll take you AND your stupid henchmen down." He motioned the elements and Trixie to clear the area and they did so. By now, they had started a scene that was getting bigger and bigger until it seemed the whole club had their eyes on the inevitable face-off.

"They're not henchmen, they're my associates." Harvest shot back, stomping his hoof.

Daze responded to this with a roar of irritation that took everyone by surprise. Vinyl saw this and began to play a good fighting beat with heavy bass and everything. She was very interested in what was about to take place…

Black Daze barely noticed the change in music and above all he didn't care. These stallions harassed his friends, proposed to destroy his home, hit two innocent mares, and they were itching for a fight. Daze was so mad right now, he was on the verge of going over the edge. If it was a fight they wanted, then by Celestia it was a fight they were going to get.

When the music started, Piper and Maroon let out multiple grunts of anger and charged at Daze. Harvest sat back and watched, which was a very foolish decision.

Black Daze waited until Piper and Maroon were close enough, then he conked their heads together and they fell over. Black Daze sped forward and before he could land a hit on Harvest, Harvest had him in his magic grasp and was levitating him in the air.

Oh buck me… Daze mused to himself.

As Daze was being levitated helplessly, Harvest gave him a left, then a right, then a left, then another left, and so on. He wasn't very strong, but strong enough that his punches hurt. Still, they didn't do much but continue to piss him off more than he already was.

Twilight saw what was happening and immediately had her horn glowing around the levitated Daze. Within seconds, Daze plopped back to the floor. He jumped up and grabbed Harvest, bringing him so close to his face that his eyes looked like they were staring into his soul.

"I will be the bane of your existence, puny mage." He roared before throwing him directly into the wall in front of him. Harvest flew at incredible speed and smashed against the wall, making a dent in it. Black Daze was fully enraged now, his irises completely shrunk to slits and his teeth appearing larger than before. Maroon and Piper were up and they both leapt onto Daze's back. Daze struggled for a little bit before jumping up and falling on his back deliberately, crushing them under his body weight.

Both Maroon and Piper were fully unconscious on the floor, he had taken care of them. Now to seal the deal with Harvest…

Black Daze approached the now fearful Harvest and flared his nostrils. Daze reared his head back and spat fourth a small blue plume of fire, shocking everypony in the room. He then took harvest in claw and slammed him against the wall again, then gave him a right hook before growling at him and saying, "Now, we all know that you've lost this round. Here's what's gonna happen. You WILL NOT get the Everfree forest, you WILL NOT go after me again, and you WILL leave my friends alone. Are we clear?" He gestured towards Trixie and the Elements at 'my friends.' Harvest nodded meekly and Daze threw him to the side.

"Good, now take your stupid henchmen and SCRAM!" Daze punctuated his last word by slamming his fist into the floor, cracking it a little and causing a slight tremor.

Harvest let out a small yelp then grabbed his friends and high-tailed out of the club. Amongst the crowd spectating the fight, there were mostly cheers, a few 'boos' and some applause. Daze glared at everypony and they fell silent. Everypony went back to their dances/drinks.

Vinyl saw that the fight had ended and put on a generic club beat. She then set it to repeat automatically and walked over to greet this mysterious guest whom she admired.

"That was pretty…nice of you for defending us, I sincerely thank you." Twilight smiled as she praised Black Daze for taking care of those rascals. Rarity nodded in agreement.

Applejack started to come to, she yawned and grabbed her forehead.

"Mmmhhh…I got m'self a splitting headache…what happened?" Applejack asked with a sleepy voice.

"You were transported to a magical faraway place where bipedal hairless apes rule the earth and get from one place to another by making giant metal boxes move by themselves." Daze teased, making up a story on the spot.

"I did? Wow…why don't I remember any of this?" Applejack somehow bought it. Daze rolled his eyes.

"Just kidding, you challenged me to a drinking contest, and you lost." Daze said flatly.

"Wha? Naw, yer just pullin' my leg, ain't no way Applejack's ever lost a drinkin' contest…" She boasted.

"Until today that is…" Twilight snickered.

"Hush yer mouth, Twi." Applejack said before grabbing her head again. "My head…sweet Celestia…"

"Wow, I didn't realize Harvest was so rotten…" Fluttershy frowned and twiddled her hooves together.

"It's quite alright, darling. They're gone now." Rarity gestured toward the door where the trio had vacated.

"Oh WOW! That was awesome Dazey! I can see why the newspapers call you the Terror of the Everfree forest now!" Pinkie exclaimed. Twilight, Rarity, Trixie, Daze, Rainbow Dash and even Applejack turned to face Pinkie Pie.

"The what now…?" Daze questioned. He didn't think he was an urban legend…

"Pinkie, what are you talking about?" Rarity looked quizzically at her pink friend.

"Don't you girls read the paper! Sometimes there's an eyewitness account on some campers who report seeing a creature of some sort beating down a forest ape or taking out a Cockatrice without even looking at it… DUH! Dazey matches the vague descriptions! I'm surprised nopony's fingered him as the Terror of the Everfree forest yet!"

"What's this about me being fingered?" Daze asked his ears perking up with shock.

"Just what are fingers, Pinkie?" Rarity questioned, more confused than ever.

"Oh nothing…" Pinkie grinned cheerfully and winked at the imaginary audience.

"Who are you winking at?" Daze tilted his head to the side.

"Noooopony…" Pinkie sang, winking again.

"What in the…just never mind." Daze facepalmed.

"Come on girls, let's continue PARTYING!" Pinkie cheered, her friends nodded in agreement except for Applejack, who was laying on the club couch with a splitting headache and Rainbow Dash, who was staring up at the ceiling trying to make the world stop being a kaleidoscope. Trixie, who was much more sober now than before, decided to walk beside Black Daze in an attempt to grow closer to him.

Just then Daze was confronted by a mysterious unicorn. He didn't know her, but he would see if she was friendly before deciding a course of action.

"Hey man, I haven't seen you around here. Are you new in town?" The Unicorn asked.

"Uhh…yeah, I guess you could say that." Black Daze nervously grinned.

"Pretty rad, bro! I saw that fight, it was awesome, dude!" She didn't have a girly voice at all, most certainly a tomboy throughout her life.

"Say, who might you be?" Trixie asked the Unicorn before her, mildly suspicious of her intentions.

"Names Vinyl Scratch, but you can call me Vinyl or Vivi. Whatever floats your boat, man." Vinyl responded casually.

"Never heard of you…" Trixie said somewhat bitterly.

"You must not listen to techno then. Not that I care, since you're here, you'll hear plenty of that." Vinyl said with a grin. "C'mon Daze, let me show you my turntable!"

"Ugh, whatever, I'll just go have another drink…" Trixie sighed in defeat and stomped off dramatically.

"…what's her problem?" Vinyl looked at Daze quizzically.

"Ummm…beat's me?" Daze tilted his head to the left.

"Whatever, now at least she won't bother us." Vinyl added. Daze was unsure now. It's not like Trixie was bothering him...

Pfft, mares…. He mused to himself.

Daze followed Vinyl to her turntable station. She seemed nice enough and she also had pretty nice glasses, so Black Daze didn't really have a reason to distrust her. She then took him to the turntable and showed him what all the switches do. Daze was somewhat fascinated by this, but he wasn't a huge fan of the music itself. It was a bit too intense for his tastes.

Vinyl noticed Daze's lack of interest in her music and thought to herself; what now? He doesn't seem interested in techno, which really sinks your chances with him if you're a DJ…perhaps…perhaps I should skip to the good part, that usually works…yeah…A smile returned to her face.

Vinyl gave Daze her best bedroom eyes then said, "So, would you like to see what other kinds of music we can make together?" She was obviously referencing sex.

Daze, being stuck in the forest for 8 years and not even being AWARE of the reference nodded his head just out of curiosity. Vinyl thought to herself of course he wants me, how could he resist an offer like that? She led him back to her 'office' in the club's bed quarters and set him on a chair. She then took her glasses off, revealing her gorgeous magenta eyes. She then leaned close, so close that she could smell his scent. He smelled like…like…the outdoors. He smelled of fresh grass after the rain and the fragrant flowers of the Everfree forest. It absolutely drove her mad! …In the good way of course. She whispered in his ear; "So cowboy, do you like it rough…or slow and gentle…" She cooed in her most seductive voice.

Daze wasn't affected by her charms. "Rough? I thought we were going to make music." He said obliviously.

Vinyl face-hoofed. She fell for the most sexually clueless stallion she had EVER met. She then began to rub her hoof on his chest and again whispered in his ear.

"…I meant sex you idiot…" She said outright.

Daze's heart started pounding in its chest. He never had a sexual experience in his life. In fact, he didn't know the first thing about it. He was afraid that he would mess something up. In fact, he wasn't sure he even wanted to have sex with her in the first place. He wasn't about to hurt her or say no, since he was incredibly curious and quite honestly turned on. He was just about to give in when the door busted open to revel a very irate Trixie.

"Get your hooves of Dazey you trashy DJ!" She snapped, catching Vinyl off guard.

Uh…oh… Daze thought to himself.

TO BE CONTINUED :D

This is as far as I've got on demand. Want more? You'll have to wait until I write it...JEX OUT!!!
