The Adventures of Firework and Science Explosions: The Rise to Fame

(Author's notes): I have decided to keep writing even though at this point nopony has read my story. No matter I'll keep writing until people boo me away. To my future readers thank you for reading this far. This being my first Fan Fiction my chapters wont ever be super long unless it all just flows into my brain but keep reading cause chapters should come out daily.

It had been almost a year since Firework had been on a "date" and even though it was to talk about business at the Gala he couldn't help but feel there was something more to it than that. It made him very nervous but as usual Fuse joked around with him as he got ready to calm his nerves. Fuse always knew what to say to Firework to get him to chill. Firework decided he would do some joking of his own and bring up what Vinyl said about him and Octavia.

"Hey Fuse, I saw the look on your face when Vinyl brought up Octavia meeting you." Firework said with a sly grin.

"Whoa bro. Hold up. I explained to her that I have a marefriend."

"Doesn't mean you didn't like the idea." Firework said with a wink.

"Ok I'll admit it sounded nice but I'm happy with LightningStrike and wouldn't leave her for anypony."

"Alright, alright. No need to freak out. But I know you used to have a crush on her before LightningStrike."

"Well yeah... So what? She is a great musician and very pretty. And now it's plain to see you have fallen for Vinyl Scratch. So shut up."

"Ok, ok. You made your point. But like you said this is good. I needed to get to know some mares since my last marefriend moved away..."

"Now don't get all sad on me. You're about to have lunch with your dream pony. So suck it up and get after it!"

Fuse sent Firework on his way and Firework headed for the cafe. It was around 11:30 now and Firework was starting to get hungry. When Firework arrived at the cafe Vinyl was already there and she waved him over to her table.

"Hey Firework!" said Vinyl as she greated him with another very friendly hug.

"Um.. Hi Vinyl! I see you already got us a table. I hope I didn't keep you waiting..."

"Nah you're fine. I just got here and ordered us some hay fries."

"Sweet! I'm starved. Fuse is at home practicing for the Gala. I guess you are the pony who finally made him get serious about something besides LightningStrike.."

"Lightning-who?" asked Vinyl.

"Oh sorry that's the marefriend he mentioned. Between me and you I know he wants to get to meet Octavia because he used to have a crush on her but is devoted to LightningStrike. I think..."

"Well I'm sorry I imposed that on him. Anyways lets get down to business. We need to get some things done before the Gala so that everything goes according to plan. So we are currently working on changing the posters of me and my opening act from the last band to Firework Fuse."

"Wait we get to be on your poster?!" Firework couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Well duh. How else would we get your name out there?" Vinyl Scratch didn't understand why this was such a big deal. After all it's just a poster.

"You're right I guess. But it's still awesome to me."

"Well I'm glad you're excited about it but I have to put a little more pressure on you guys if that's ok."

"What did you have in mind?" Firework was starting to get nervous...

"I want you guys to be featured in two of my new songs at the Gala!"

Firework went from his normal dark blue to almost cyan. He felt like he was gonna pass out and tears were starting to form in his eyes. He regained his composure and assured Vinyl that they would love to be featured with her.

"I had a feeling you would like that. But we can talk more about the Gala after we eat." She had a hungry expression on her face and quickly starting eating the hay fries.

So Firework joined her and they began their lunch. After they finished Vinyl had yet another surprise.

"So Firework since we are going to be preforming together we need to practice together some. Would you wanna come over to my place in downtown Ponyville?"

This time Firework did pass out. He fell right out of his chair and hit the ground with a thud.

Vinyl started to freak out and called for help but Firework started to come to.

"Firework are you ok?!" Vinyl looked very concerned about Firework.

"Um... Yeah I'm fine my head just hurts a little.."

"Here I'll make it better." She leaned forward and kissed Firework's forehead.

Firework started to turn as red as his mane and said he felt much better now. Vinyl could tell he was still embarrassed but she was done messing with him. For now. She decided they should head over to her house now since Octavia would be finishing up with her afternoon practice. Firework had heard of Octavia and seen her once or twice but could never get into her music. Vinyl and Octavia had been roommates for years and Vinyl said Octavia's music was just as boring then as it is now. Firework laughed and realized they had reached Vinyl and Octavia's house. It was pretty big for just two ponies but then again he had a huge house for just one pony. As they entered the house they could hear the sound of Octavia finishing up her practicing for the afternoon. They decided to go up to Vinyl's room but as they reached the stairs Octavia came around the corner and asked who Vinyl's friend was.

"Hi! I'm Firework. My band and I will be preforming at the Gala with Vinyl!" Firework felt like he was bragging but then remembered that Octavia and her group of musicians always preformed at the Gala too.

"Well it is nice to meet you Firework. I'm sure you will see me preforming at the Gala as well." She spoke with a very dignified voice and a neutral facial expression.

"That would be awesome. Well please excuse us we have to go practice."

Since they were inside Vinyl had taken off her classic shades and now Firework could see those lovely cerise eyes. He could have stared at her for hours. It had only been like 30 seconds and Vinyl was starting to think that Firework was either creepy or had a crush on her. Either way she didn't really care cause he seemed nice enough. So Vinyl escorted Firework to the her room and what Firework saw blew his mind. Everything was designed to make music. It was heaven for Firework but Vinyl called it normal. She said before she was famous she wrote music day and night she stopped only so that she could listen to it or play it in a club. This is what Firework wanted. To perform at thousands of clubs and to be on posters everywhere. Then Vinyl Scratch and Firework began to practice vocals and Vinyl would tweak the song little by little as they went along. By the end of the day Firework had completely memorized the first song and felt ready to perform. Little did he know that fate may have other plans for him and Vinyl besides just the Gala.
