Chapter 4: Meeting Vinyl Scratch

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

While I was raving waved to the white pony. I assumed that this was Ms Scratch. After raving for another minute the break kicks in and she lowers the sound on the mixer. She comes to me with a big smile on her face saying.

"Hey there, you got some nice moves."

"Thanks, what track were you playing, it was pretty nice. ?"

"I don't know, I just grabbed a record, hoping it wasn't one of Octavia's, and played it. Why are you here ?"

"Uuh, I was talking to the mayor to find a job, I told her I was good with modern music and she addressed me to a certain Ms Scratch. And I believe that's you."

She answered "Please, call me Vinyl. And if you say you're good with modern music…You should show me what you're capable of." pointing at the turntables.

"Sure, I'd love to mix right now! It's been a while since I mixed some tracks."

I walked over to the turntables I asked good records. She gave me a bunch of records that she said is clubbish. I began mixing, she gave me a bunch of house records but I never mixed with vinyl before. So hoping it would be good. I placed the first vinyl and played it. I kept on mixing for about 10 minutes, but then I stopped because Vinyl came in the room with some drinks. She levitated 2 glasses of delicious apple juice.

"You pretty good, we could team up!"

"Sure! But can you plug this in ?" pulling out my iPod and show it to her.

"I can but I'm not sure it will work though."

I was lucky, it worked but I couldn't scratch. But I didn't mind.

"Hey Vinyl, Do you know the genres Drum & Bass, Dubstep or Glitch Hop ?"

"Never heard of it!"

"I'll introduce you." I said as I selected my tracks.

I began playing a track named Ghost Assassin by Maduk & Veela and moved on to other tracks (Talking about this mix, you might not be able to listen to it YouTube removes it for some countries like the USA). This went on for a hour and a half. I mixed Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Moombahton, House, Electro, Glitch Hop, etc.

"I like you but I didn't ask your name yet. And what are you ?"

"It's Pim, i'm a human and i'm really glad I met you. (No this isn't crazy….or is it :3 see what I did there *slaps knee and laughs* )"

"Well me too." she said in a playful manner. I grinned a little bit when I heard that.

"Good to hear that somepony isn't weirded out by me. So, you play at a club for a living ?"

"I do, maybe you could teach me how to scratch and mix with vinyl and I'll teach you how to make your own music."

"You make your own music ? Isn't that super hard ?"

"It takes a lot of time to get something good. But I don't have a laptop here. All my stuff is back on Earth."

"What's a laptop, and what's Earth ?"

"A laptop is a device that a lot of persons use on Earth, the place I come from."

"Maybe you could ask Celestia for something, she the most powerful being in Equestria."

"I am going to see her soon anyway. Thanks for saying that!"

"No problem, say do you don't have a job… Stay here until you have one, free of charge! I like that music you have what's it called again ?"

"There are many genres but the general term for it is EDM. (Electronic Dance Music)"

"Watch out for Octavia though, she's a real killjoy. And she highly dislikes our choice of music. She listens to classic stuff."

"Bleh, I don't like classic, nothing wrong with it though."

"We have a guest room so you'll be sleeping there. Why don't you go have a look at it."

We went up a set of stairs and Vinyl open a door at the right side of the corridor connected to the set of stairs. It was a normally sided room with a window looking out on the garden. There was a bed, cupboard, a small desk with a chair and that was it. I didn't need anything more.

Vinyl said: "I'm kinda hungry, come on! Let's have dinner!"

"Don't we need to wait for you housemate Octavia ?"

"She's staying in Canterlot tonight, had to play cello at a fancy party that started pretty late.

"Ok then, you'll have to introduce me tomorrow."

"So it's us two here alone tonight" she said grinning.

I felt my face becoming red "Eeeuuuh yeah..."

We went back downstairs to have dinner. I sat down at the kitchen table and watched Vinyl grab some food. She grabbed some apples (hopefully AJ's ;D) and a lot of vegetables. I didn't like vegetables very much so I grabbed myself 3 apples because I was pretty damn hungry. She grabbed a apple and some hay. We talked a bit about our day. After about half a hour we decided to go to our rooms and sleep. We both walked up to the corridor.

"Well then, I had a lot of fun today Vinyl. But I'm going to bed. Good night!"

"I also had a great time, see ya' in the morning Pim!"

I closed the door behind me and undressed myself. I layed on the bed in my shorts thinking about all of this, this world, magic, talking ponies and dragons... I'd better just accept stuff the way it is now. I thought of going to Princess Celestia soon. I could ask how I got here, but I don't want to leave thought. Earth was a boring routine... Equestria is new and exciting. And about a job...I could ask Celestia of she could maybe do something so I could have my laptop back, then I could produce and make music. Make a living out of it and DJ in the nightclub. I had some plans...Let's hope they succeed. But now I should get some rest, it was a long day...
