Vinyl Scratch is the best DJ in Equestria, spinning whatever sounds come out of her head onto the platters in her playlist, mixing and remixing, un-and-ür-mixed. She's done with mixing music; she wants to mix with other ponies. But it seems like no matter what she does, everypony she brings close to show her sweet-side spits her out, like she's a sour candy they're already sick of.

And so Vinyl Scratch wonders;
is love perhaps the cure for the pain of life?
