Vinyl's POV

Ugh my head. What time is it? I woke with a headache. I turned on my phone and saw that it was 11:00. Oh It's just eleven O' cl- Oh crap! I need to get ready! I bolted up and raced to get prepared for today. Tavi's gonna be pissed. Last time I was late...I don't even want to think about that look she gave me. She even made a scene in public... I thought. Tavi had a bad side and it was ferocious. There. I'm ready now. I looked in the mirror. Now to meet Tavi and the others for our day at the mall. Tavi was helping the Rainbooms and I get our equipment cleaned because of a certain Pinkie Pie incident involving whipped cream, cupcakes, and confetti that managed to dirty all of their instruments. Also, I was pretty sure they just wanted to hang out with each other. Tavi offered to come because I was going, she had gotten really protective of me after I had that breakdown during Celestia's speech around three weeks ago. I walk through my door and Tavi was there, with her arms crossed and tapping her foot.

"Vinyl!" Tavi snapped. "What do you have to say for yourself?! We're gonna be late!" Tavi had accusing eyes. I gave a sheepish grin and held a shrug with my palms facing the ceiling.

Uh oh. I dreaded waiting for Tavi's response, but to my surprise her eyes softened and she sighed.

"Let's just go, Vinyl." Tavi seemed sad for some reason. I grabbed her shoulder and looked at her in the eyes as if to ask if she was okay. Tavi got my meaning and responded. "Okay. I had a nightmare and I feel like something bad will happen." Tavi looked at me with worry in her eyes. I shrugged it off. Tavi saw this and shouted "Take this seriously Vinyl!" Then Mrs. Melody appeared from downstairs.

"Is everything okay?" Mrs. Melody looked worried. "Are you girls fighting?"

"No mom." Tavi said this as I shook my head no.

Immediately Mrs. Melody looked relieved. "Let's go then." She ushered us to the car and Tavi looked at me, then shook her head no. Really? Relax, Tavi... I thought.

...

Mrs. Melody drove us to the mall and dropped us off, where we were greeted by Fluttershy. "Hello Fluttershy!" Tavi said as I waved to her. The girl walked over to us.

"Hi girls." She said in her soft almost whisper like voice. "How are you girls?" She looked at me specifically.

"I have been great." Octavia said as I moved my palm in a see-saw motion to say I was okay, but Fluttershy may have taken it the wrong way.

"I see. Have you been going to Dr. Discord?" Fluttershy asked. I nodded. Fluttershy was actually the one who suggested him. He was weird, but he did do his job good. Apparently, Fluttershy went to him when she was being bullied, by Sunset-but we don't talk about that anymore-and now they meet for tea periodically. Fluttershy then responded. "Good."

Just then Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight (Sci-Twi is the only one who will appear in this story) in Rainbow Dash's car. By the looks of it, Rainbow had been speeding because Twilight was holding on for dear life and Pinkie Pie was laughing. They exited the car, though for Twilight it was more of a wobble, and came over. "Hello there girls. Now all we need is Sunset, Rarity, and Applejack." Tavi said with a hint of annoyance.

Before anyone could say anything Sunset appeared behind me and Applejack and Rarity said, at the same time "We're already here." I jumped slightly at this.

"Sorry Vinyl ." Sunset apologized. I turned my hand from my wrist up and down to show that there was no hard feelings.

Rainbow spoke up. "Can we get this started. We need to by some things to help us clean our instruments without damaging them and I for one want to shred! Also, I want to buy some stuff. Kill two birds with one stone, right?"

"That's horrible!" Fluttershy cried out.

"It's an expression, sugarcube."

"Oh." Fluttershy squeaked.

"Silly Billy." Pinkie said.

"Can we move on? I need to get something for a project I'm doing and I want to move on. So can we go, girls?" Twilight said.

We all nodded with a "hmph." Then we walked in the mall.

......

The inmate of cell block D stood alone at the cafeteria. He was eating his "goop," as the inmates called it. He was greeted by a dark gray tone man with black hair, who was the top dog of Canterlot Maximum Level security, where almost everyone had a life sentence, but were usually murdered by their cell mates. The inmate from D block whispered. "Is the plan on, Sombra?" He looked towards The gray tone man.

"Yes. I have some men for you who will help you escape, but in return..." The inmate squirmed. "You must do that favor for me. You know, the hit." Sombra whispered at the end. "Got that, Wildcat Shady?" The inmate nodded.

"Call me Shady." Shady said.

"Whatever." Sombra looked around. "Remember, the plan goes off tonight. This took years to orchestrate, so don't fuck it up." Sombra whispered. "The guard is coming. Act natural."

Shady acted like he usually did, but in his mind he was formulating a plan. The first thing I do when I get out is get that girl that ruined my life. Then I'll do that hit and move away from this hellhole. Shady internally smiled. I'll finally get my revenge.

Author's Note

I called the inmate Wildcat Shady because on Thesaurus.com the word criminal has both of these words as synonyms. Also, the words fit into a name and Shady seems appropriate...for some reason.
