♫ Heart Beats - Chapter 1: Prologue ♫

As he walked towards the entrance to the stage, he felt something was missing. He stood still for a moment, mused over what he felt needed to be somewhere else.

He's eyes slowly turned to the left as he saw an object laying at the shelf next to him.

"D'oh, how can i be so stupid!" He said to himself, as he grabbed his new headset he bought a couple days ago.

He put the new well cared headset around his neck. With a smile on his face, and a beat in his heart, he walked out on the stage as the huge pony audience greeted him with joyfull screams.

He stood on the stage for a moment, admiring the attention. Then he trooped up to his instruments. They were ready for his use. He put on his headphones and turned on the mixer and then played a violent bass track many of his fans has been waiting for a long time.

As the bass pounded, the audience bounced with it, all screaming and cheering. Hakke was enjoying the attention and love the audience delivered to him in return for the content he delivered. He put on his party glasses and launched another beat. The audience grew even wilder. There was a real party atmosphere.

This beat was very fast paced and motivated everyone to move faster. This was sure one of the most energetic concerts he has ever delivered before.

It was a long night, but it was nearing it's end. Hakke thanked his audience many times, before he walked out backstage. A little sweat on his forehead, that was all the hard work he carried out through the night. After such a performance, he needed rest too. Altough it was a bold and brilliant party, there were other things to be cared of once in a while.

As he was walking towards his backstage room, he stumbled into two beautifull and attracting mares.

"Oh my gosh! It's him!" The first one said while the other one starred in awe.

Hakke got a small smile on his face, greeting the two ladies, "G'evening, ladies".  One of the mares was a about to faint,

while the other one was jumping and squealing.

"Oh my gosh! We are huge fans of your music Hakke, c-can you give us an autograph?" One of the mares said.

"A personal one," the other mare said, walking closer to Hakke, eye contact, sending him an mysterious look.

His facial expression changed into a crumbled and nervous frown. The first mare slapped the flirting one, giving a nice "SMACK" sound from it. "Ow!" the flirting mare said in pain. "Then just a autograph," she said. Hakke's fown slowly turned into a more normal crumbled smile.

They found some posters of Hakke from their bags and Hakke signed them as he promised. Shortly after admiring the words written by their idol himself, they told him how much they loved him and quickly disappeared out of the backstage area.

Hakke felt like he was in a hurry after the episode with the two mares. He wanted to get home quickly, so he could get some sleep.


A beam of sunshine, shined trough the window. Hakke waked up with a grumpy moan in response to this beautifully warm and still frustrating morning sun. He rose slowly from his bed and started to walk towards the bathroom, fresh'd himself up and the continued to the kitchen.

The time was 9:50 AM. Above the sink, he fetched his calender from a shelf that was hanging up there, checking it to see if he had any plans for the upcoming day (Or to see if he missed something).

He's facial expression changed into a chilled out and relaxing expression, as he discovered that he had absolutely nothing to do today.

In addition to that, he decided to celebrate it with a cup of chocolate milk with cream. With the hot chocolate milk steaming from the cup, he leaned down in one of his best chairs and gave off a relaxed moan.

He started singing a song:

"♫ Today i don't feel like doing anything! I just wanna lay in ma' bed ♫".

Just as he was about to sip to the delicious cup of chocolate, when the door was bashed open.

"HAKKEEEEEEEEEE!"

Hakke was shocked and made a quick protective move, that made him lose grip on the cup, and spilled all the Delicious chocolate milk over his coat.

He looked frightened towards the door and saw to his surprise that this day probably wouldn't be so relaxed as he expected. It was Vinyl Scratch. The famous DJ mare from Ponyville.

"Hey! What's up Hakke!? What is my favourite bro up to on this glorious sun shiny day?" Vinyl said. Vinyl's smiling face slowly turned into a bewildered frown.

"Eh, whats with the hot stuff Hakke?" She asked.

Hakke's eyes was wide open, looking at Vinyl. His eye began twitching, as the steam from the hot chocolate began to drift into the air.

"You did this, you dumpster," he answered.

"What? I did that? No way, i just walked in the front door, that ain't me!" She said roughly. "Walked in the front door? You

almost destroyed the door" Hakke said while face-hoofing.

"You scared me, i was drinking hot chocolate milk! Can't i just get one day without SOME-pony asking me something to do?"

He said letting an angry "hmpf" out of his mouth.

"Oh, yea that's right," Vinyl giggled.

"Le' me getcha a towel," She said heading for the bathroom.


After he cleaned himself up, he gave the floor a quick whisk and it was shining as a diamond.

"So, Vinyl. What is up today, since you had to ruin my morning?" Hakke said while mixing some random food together.

"Oh yea! I'm going to play at this after-party right after the summer sun celebration. I was thinking if you wanted to come with me to Ponyville today and hang out before the party," Said Vinyl, with a huge grin on her face.

"Hang out? Are you thinking of something special?" Hakke replied.

"Nah, just the usual. Hang out, walk down the city. Oh yea! I just GOT to show you my new equipment! I got the coolest new mixer!" She said in excitement jumping up and down.

Hakke sad down with his breakfast at the glass table in the kitchen, which needed to be cleaned after the last party at his place.

"Well, doesn't sound like hard work, I'm in," he said, as he was about to take a bite of a daffodil sandwich.

"Cool bro!" She said, giving him a little knock on the shoulder.

"So, ready to leave?" She said shortly after. "What? Already? But i haven't even finished my breakfast," Hakke replied.

"Then HURRY! I'm getting inpatient," she said with a grumpy facial expression.

After he finished the sandwich, he fetched his new headset and was ready to leave with Vinyl.

"Now I'm ready!" He said.

"Oh awesome!" Vinyl answered loudly.
