The Rocker, The DJ and The Cellist

Neo was tapping the table waiting for her girlfriend to come. When his mind is floating to the air he felt two warm hands covering his eyes.

"I know it's you Vince." He turned around and saw Vinyl. She wore a black tank top paired with denim jeans. She wore the leather boots her friend Rarity gave to her. Her spiky hair is worn in a high ponytail: the only style she uses besides the usual spikes.

Vinyl kissed him on his cheeks. "Of course you would know? Let's go!" Neo stood up and held her hand while walk their way to the mall.

"eonni , naega jigeum meoggo sip-eo . ulineun najung-e nollaun il eul hal su issseubnikka?" [Big sister, I want to eat now. Can we have that surprise later?], Crystal complained. Even the stack of pancakes can't compete with her appetite. "The surprise can wait, I want pizza!"

"keuliseutal naui chin-aehaneun yeodongsaeng eun meonjeo geugeos-eul bol pil-yogaissda. dangsin-i geugeos-eul boji moshal ttaekkaji nae don-eul jeochug haji anh-assda." [Crystal my dear little sister, you need to see it first. I didn't save my money for you to never see it.]

"But we're rich already!"

"And we don't have any access to it until you turn eighteen. Good thing I have my own bank account so I don't have to go and get our family money." She tightened her grip of Crystal's wrists who is still complaining. They went to a store and from what Crystal can see, there are so many instruments in here. At that moment, she guessed that her surprise is a musical instrument.

Must be a new set of drumsticks, she thought childishly. Crystal has a large collection of drumsticks, even if she doesn't have a drum set. She uses them for decorations, much to Candy's surprise. Not only she has a fine taste for music and arts, she is also a trained gymnast and a good writer. She writes songs about stories she reads on books or computer, even her own stories. Her sister enjoyed listening to her music. She mostly used ballad, as it is the only thing that can tolerate her older sister. She makes songs and post it on her blog. Her blog is full of random stuffs, composing of her art, music, stories and stuffs that attracts all people.

As they entered, a girl from the table looked at the two girls. "Hello there," greeted Candy. "I believe I reserved a special instrument for a family here." She said to the cashier as she looked at Crystal's green eyes.

The cashier grinned. "Of course! Wait for a moment." She went to a room and came back with two black guitar case. "Here it is Crystal!" The cashier winked at the young girl and went back to her work.

"Um... What is that? How does she know my name?" she asked. She knew a lot of people but when it comes to people spitting out her name without even saying it herself is just creeps her out.

"Just a colleague," she answered. She looked at the case again. Crystal narrowed her eyebrows. Opening the both cases, her eyes widened.

"Sis.." she said, speechless. Inside both cases, there were an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar. "You... you don't have to do this you know? I already got a guitar." She touched the guitars and looked at her.

"Well the guitar Daddy gave you is already old and is not your size. Plus, you always wanted them in the first place." Candy smiled at her beloved sister, who was still staring at the guitars.

The acoustic one has the same shade of her pink hair. It is studded with green, blue, and purple rhinestones. The fretboard is in a creamy shade of white while its markers are in colored snowflakes. The headstock has her name engraved on it which the writing looks like her sister's handwriting. Her handwriting is way more beautiful than hers.

The electric guitar is the one that made her cringe harder to her sister. She had dreamed of having an acrylic electric guitar but she wanted to buy it herself. She appreciated her effort though. Buying these instruments in an expensive-as-heck music store is something that Candy wouldn't have really done to just anyone.

Crystal hugged her older sister tightly until the bell ringed. An old man and a girl about Crystal's age walked through the store. The girl is a black-haired person who wore an all-gray outfit, which contrasts her pastel blue cocktail dress adorned in green lace matching her green eyes.

"Father, you planned on buying me a new cello? But I already have more than one," complained the girl.

"Says the young lady who has been trying to earn money to buy it and put it in her collection. Besides, it's my gift for you," said the man.

Another pair entered the store again. This time, a couple consisting of a boy and a girl came in. They hold hands which made Crystal grimace.

Here we go again with the lovebirds.

The 'gray' girl looked at the other with pure disgust. If there is anything Crystal knew about it, she thought maybe that she does not know anything about using the clothing properly. She hid her face with her black shoulder bag.

"Neo, you don't have to buy me the turntables you know? Mine still works!"

Wait for a moment, this is some kind of a... what do they call it again?

"Vince, you need it. Besides, that thing was like 5 years ago. You don't want to wait until it is shattered," the boy said. "Besides, I bought it a week ago, I reserved one so you can get it here. I have so many stuff in my apartment."

At that moment, Crystal knew who she is. She had been a fan of DJ PON-3 for many years now. And now, she's here with her boyfriend Neo Lee, who shared her paternal grandmother's maiden name. She never really saw her face, as Vinyl would use a drawing of her provided by her fans and never a selfie for it. As of now, Vinyl used her drawing as her Twitter icon.

The cashier came back and saw four new customers inside the store. "Crystal, let's go to Pizza Hut." Candy pulled themselves out from the store remaining the two young girls and their companion.

"Whoa," whispered Crystal as she turned back to look at Vinyl and the gray girl secretly judging each other.

Just look at her, thought Octavia, looking at the blue-haired girl in front of her.

Does she know the proper way of using her clothing. It just reveals everything.

She looked at tank top, showing her cleavage. She wore denim shorts that were almost revealing her buttock. At least the boots saved her.

"Here you go Mr. Philharmonica," said the cashier as she took out a cello case out from the room.

Another wealthy musician's little daughter, Vinyl thought, looking at Octavia, who was wearing an all gray outfit. The only thing that stood out was her pink scarf and lavender eyes.

She looks good though. The only problem is she looks like a potato bag, a cute potato bag.

"Finally," exclaimed Octavia, "Now I can get my eyes off of that lady who doesn't even know how to wear her clothing properly." She pointed towrds Vinyl, whose temper has been slowly risen by what she heard. She ignored Octavia's rude behavior as her father put his hand to her shoulder.

"Octavia, how many times do I have to tell you that  you should not say rude things out loud?" Vinyl rolled her  eyes as she learned that maybe this girl is spoiled or something just like that.

Octavia, who doesn't really like talking to her father about those, stopped and let out a groan. "Let's go sweetie." They went out leaving the bell ringing again.

Well that was awkward.

"Here it is Neo. What a great pleasure to have you here," she winked. Jealousy crossed Vinyl at the sight of it that she held Neo on his arm.

Seems like the cashier knew about her being a jealous type. "Oh, it's okay. Winking is actually my thing here. So if you have any hard feelings for me, I'm sorry," she said in a bitter face as she left herself in another world using her headphones.

"Good, let's go." Vinyl grabbed the box and left the store with her boyfriend leaving Octavia and her father behind. The cashier took off her headphones whispering something inaudible to their ears.

"Hello there Mr. Philharmonica. Are you here for the new cello?" He nodded, making her go back to her room once more and brought the case out.

"Can I we go home now after this? After all, were here to grab this out and that's it," asked Octavia, looking at the couple out grabbing ice cream together.

"Octavia Liebling, warum wollen Sie nicht zu feiern? Nur die talentiertesten Studenten kommt nur dort. Ich war sehr aufgeregt , wenn ich kann nicht mehr in." [Octavia darling, why don't you want to celebrate? Only the most gifted students only comes there. I was very upset when I can't go in.] asked Apollo. His daughter is always like this, someone who doesn't really celebrate such great achievements.

"Father, I don't want to. The only celebration I want is having a chance to sleep. The practices in our orchestra is tiring," she complained.

Apollo gave in, as he knew she always wins arguments. "Okay, but first, let me go to the mall. I have some things to do. Just meet me in the parking lot." Apollo left her daughter, who is still holding the cello case in her hands.

Well, it wouldn't be too bad if I buy some food. It's noon already.

She walked off the store looking for a place to eat.

"So, how are you?" asked Vinyl, sipping from her soda.

"Well, it's not that bad. Although I've been in so many clubs, it was the worse."

"Why?"

"Because that stupid girl was back again." Neo keep mentioning about his rival named Ariana, the diva of the DJ society. She was always been rumored of stuffs like having affairs with some celebrities. But even if a lot of people hate her, everyone wondered about her staying as a DJ. Not that it mattered to Vinyl, a young DJ like her isn't even a part of it yet. She has more stuff to do other than those.

"And?"

"She stripped off in the club. The club was meant for celebrations and shit but she ruined it. Now I have to put my career on break so she wouldn't dare touch me." Vinyl almost choked on her pizza, having Ariana, whoever she is, dares to touch her boyfriend would really make her have a desire to burn her.

"Why do you keep complaining about her? I mean, not that I'm pissed off about you doing so, but I never survived a date without you complaining about her." Neo stopped, looking a bit sweaty. Vinyl waved her hand at Neo, trying to snap him out.

"Neo?" she asked. He is still looking nervous. "Earth to Neo?" He snapped, looked at Vinyl's curious magenta eyes.

"Yeah?"

"You look so nervous. Any problem in mind?" asked Vinyl, who was waiting for an answer.

"Nothing, just some stuffs I have to do." Vinyl looked at him with an 'okay' face.

"eonni , wae geugeos-e daehae malhae haeyahabnikka? nae mal-eun, geuneun joh-eun hajiman chia eobs-i geu yeoja e daehae na-ege iyagi haneun nal chong su-ig-eul geos-ibnida!" [Big sister, why do you have to tell me about that? I mean, he is nice but telling me about that girl without teeth will gross me out!] a young teenage girl yelled. Neo and Vinyl looked at the direction where that voice came from.

"jajang , dangsin-eun ulileul danghwang handa." [Hush, you are embarrassing us.] whispered the other. Vinyl looked who it is and noticed that it's the girl with the pastel hair in the earlier with her older companion.

The girl looked at her again, shock filling her eyes. She slowly grabbed her sister away from the restaurant leaving all the customers confused.
