Life Of The Party

                                         Epilogue

The last six months have been so incredible for Sound Screech. He of course still mourned the loss of his parents. But Vinyl Scratch has shown him so much, given him so much. That he is starting to finally enjoy his life again. Their first “Hearts and Hooves Day” is coming up soon. He hasn’t even a clue what he’s going to buy for her. He has to think of something fast. He sat in their house staring up at the ceiling blankly. Vinyl went out to see her old friends who had come to visit her. While of course Sound Screech lay on the couch still deep in thought.

“There’s got to be something, something good.” Finally something clicked in his head. She loved her music more than air so there was only one real gift he could give her. He walked into their record room to sort through some of his older records. He kept on throwing cases back a bit until he found the one he was looking for.

“Simple And Clean, perfect!” He muttered to himself rising up to his feet with the record in his hoof. It was getting late and they were going to play tonight. They expected the club to be completely packed with star crossed lovers coming out to party. He walked out into their living room grabbing his more materialistic gift for her to hide it. He had bought this prior, but he wanted something big to introduce it first. Now he had it all figured out, now they could go to the club and he can make his move.

They had left the house early on his persistant nagging her, of course he never told her the reason he wanted to go early. They walked through the streets sharing their conversation.

“You know, I’m not giving you your gifts until you give me mine first.” Vinyl said with a smug smirk spread across her face. He simply rolled his eyes as they turned onto the block the club was on.

“You’re going to love this Vinyl, trust me.” He led her into the club walking up to the Turn Table. When she jumped up next to him he pushed her back lightly.

“Hey, where do you think you’re going? I’m doing this one for you idiot.” He smirked at her setting up the record to play first. It would require a lot of mixing; it was the hardest song he has ever done before, also his first.

“Oh? This should be really good.” She laughed walking away to a chair at the bar to watch his performance. As the crowd starting piling in he smiled at Vinyl before starting the song.

At first he brought it on a piano entrance, the Turn Table had Piano keys lined along the front of it, mostly for synth but if you increased the pitch you could get it to a near perfect match.

He started to sing at the crowd, he had a rather great singing voice; it was actually his forte besides DubTrot of course.

“You’ve given me, so many things baby. You’re all I need, oh no. You smiled at me, and said. Don’t get me wrong I love you, nor does that mean I have to meet your father, When we were older you’d understand what I meant when I said no, I don’t think life is quite that simple. He started altering the song with drum beats multiplying the lyrics with a beat multiplier. The bass drop began as he moved his hooves as fast as he could will them to go. They blurred across the Turn Table his breathing heavy. The more the song went on the more Vinyl began to smile. Eventually he began to let the recorded mix play out and walked off the DJ stand over to Vinyl.

He held his hoof out to her with a smile plastered onto his face.

“Well? Aren’t you going to dance with me at least?” She began to laugh hopping up to her hooves. The song started to get faster; they were both excellent at dancing to their art. The crowd was the loudest they had ever been, partly because it was “Hearts and Hooves Day” partly because what he was doing was a romantic act. They danced all throughout the night, the crowd kept coming in past Four AM. Eventually he pulled her to the side away from all of the dancing Ponies to give her the real gift.

“I don’t know what you thought of that exactly, but I’ll give you this too in case you thought that embarrassing act was a bomb.” He pulled out a necklace, a purple record hung at the bottom of it similar to his purple record, except her name was etched in gold around the length of it. She looked at it shocked, for the first time in months he saw her shell break with a tear down her cheek. Without hesitation she threw he fore legs around his neck kissing him passionately. She took her glasses off in the middle of it as she pulled away.

“Thank you Screech, it’s amazing.” She took the necklace from his hooves slinging it over her neck. She kissed him one last time briefly before pulling him by the foreleg into the crowd again.

“Let’s get this party started!” She screamed out at the crowd starting to intensify the music. The beats echoed out into his very core making his bones vibrate. He hopped up next to her playing their duo once again. They played up until Eight AM. She got off the DJ stand wiping her face off with a cloth as usual. They stood there for several moments staring at each other before she walked up to him.

“Here, I got you your gift, though I don’t think it will top you making a fool of yourself.” She pulled out a record that had faint letters etched onto it. The letters read:

“Crush on You” he looked at it surprised by it of course. But he remembered telling her that this was his parent’s song. They met while dancing in this very club to this song. He treasured that song, He pulled her into another kiss while they stood there for about fifteen minutes.

“So, best Hearts and Hooves day ever?” He asked with a cocky grin spread from ear to ear. She shrugged looking at him with her eyebrows cocked up.

“Maybe, we’ll have to see how the other guy does.” He looked at her shocked; she always had a cruel sense of humor.

“Relax! I’m kidding you idiot.” She yelled while laughing at his shock, they kissed again standing there in the middle of the club, they both had a long night, they only wanted to go home, but they would always treasure the memories of course. It was after all their first Hearts and Hooves day.

Thanks guys for taking it easy on me. I got mostly positive responses from this story so I decided to do a epilogue, no sequels just an epilogue, think I left the story done a bit too soon in their romance so I broadened my perspective per say. Hope you all liked the story and I hope you all like my many stories to come.
