Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(Author's notes): Hey guys my friend Gaul'thera has been reviewing my story and brought some things to my attention. I have sorta rushed the story line and left out some details don't worry I'll be going into more detail from now on and will progress the plot a little slower so the story doesn't end too quickly. Also as a side note I always call Dj Pon-3, Vinyl Scratch so don't complain about the name. As always thanks for reading and enjoy.
When Firework left for his "date" with Vinyl, Fuse assumed they would be back after an hour or two but when Firework still hadn't come home by one he decided to go see LightningStrike. Fuse had met Lightning a couple of months ago and they fell for each other. Both of them were kind of socially awkward but loved each other just the same. They had similar hobbies but different backgrounds. Fuse and Firework had grown up together and hadn't really faced any tough times, but Lightning had seen some pretty rough days. Her mother had just recently died and her father was very abusive. Fuse saw this and his heart melted for her. He made sure that nopony ever messed with her including Firework. Firework had to quickly learn that even pranks in good fun were unacceptable to Fuse if they were played on Lightning. Fuse tried to be her "Knight in shining armor" but like most teenage guys he couldn't always handle it. He would get caught staring at mares or be too busy to take her on dates. But today he was gonna try and make up for his lack of time with her. Fuse headed off down the road and arrived at Lightning's at around 1:30. He came up to the door but when he arrived he heard yelling from inside the house. Fuse came inside to see Lightning's dad, Icestorm, had been trashing the house while yelling at Lightning. Lightning looked very scared but had a sigh of relief when Fuse walked in.
"What the hell is going on in here?!" Fuse yelled looking very angry at Icestorm.
"None of your business you stupid colt." spat Icestorm with a look of fury in his eyes.
"This is my marefriend so it's my business! I'm only gonna ask this once more. What the hell is going on here?" Fuse was starting to lose his temper. He wished Firework had been there to back him up. Icestorm can get pretty violent when he was angry.
"Get out of here you little punk before I beat you and my daughter up!"
"That's it! You're dead!" Fuse took of like a rocket straight at Icestorm.
"Ugghhh..." groaned Icestorm as Fuse slammed into him at full speed. During all this Lightning didn't know what to do. She wanted her dad to leave but she didn't want to see anypony get hurt.
"Stop it! Both of you!" screamed Lightning. She was on the verge of tears but had to be strong so her father would get the point and leave. "Get out dad. Now!"
"You know what, screw you and your colt friend. You all can go to hell!" said Icestorm as he stormed out of Lightning's house.
"Are you ok Lightning?" Fuse looked very concerned about his marefriend.
"Yeah I'm fine..." Lightning couldn't meet Fuse's eyes when she spoke.
Fuse took her into his arms and held her tightly. "Everything's gonna be ok. I promise."
Lightning started to cry as Fuse held her. She couldn't deal with her dad anymore. He was just too much stress on her life.
"Hey why don't you come stay with me for a while until things cool down? Unless maybe you want to move in permanently..." Fuse was so nervous about how Lightning would react to the offer.
Lightning reared her head back so she could look into Fuse's eyes. She then wrapped both her hooves around his neck and kissed him deeply. Fuse was taken by surprise at first but quickly met her advances. They kissed for a moment then Lightning said "Yes. Yes Fuse I would love to move in with you."
"R-Really?!" Fuse looked so excited. This was a huge step in their relationship and he couldn't wait to see how all of this would unfold.
"Of course. You're the only pony who actually cares about me and loves me. There's no where I'd rather be than with you." Lightning looked so happy as she said all of this. She couldn't hold back her excitement and kissed Fuse again.
"Mmmm... T-That's exactly how I feel about you. I'm so glad you feel that way." Fuse took her by the hoof and they went upstairs to get her things.
Fuse had a million thoughts going through his head. What would Firework think? How would he deal with sleeping in the same house as his marefriend? Would they take their relationship to the next level? How was he going to be able to balance out his time with the band and Lightning? Would the band start bringing in enough money to support him and Lightning? Then he realized he had been staring off into space for at least five minuets while Lightning was talking to him.
"... And I think I should pack the lamp as well. What do you think Fuse?" Lightning had been telling Fuse all the things she wanted to move to his house but Fuse had been lost in thought for a while.
"Um.. Yeah that all sounds great baby. You can pack whatever you want." Fuse quickly recovered from being brought back to reality.
"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude..." Lightning was scared that if she was too demanding Fuse might revoke his offer to let her move in.
"Of course I'm sure. Mi casa es tu casa. (My house is your house.)" Fuse was trying out a little Spanish that Firework had taught him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lightning exclaimed as she gave him another kiss.
"I think I could get used to this." said Fuse with a sly grin.
"Oh shut up and help me pack."
Meanwhile Firework was having a little fun with Vinyl too. Firework and Vinyl had finished practicing for the day and decided to go catch a movie since Octavia had begun her evening practice. It was around 5:00 now and he thought he should go tell fuse the good news before the movie. So Firework and Vinyl made their way to Firework's house. When they arrived Firework expected to hear music and Fuse practicing but no sound came from the house. They went inside and Firework began calling out for Fuse.
"Yo Fuse! You in here?" Firework was wondering where he could have gone until he thought of Lightning. All of a sudden Firework looked pissed. "If I had to bet he's with Lightning..." Firework was staring to get mad.
"Eh that's ok Firework. Let him have his fun. Lets go catch that movie now." Vinyl said with a wink.
"Um.. O-Ok. Yeah lets go!" Firework was starting to blush but regained his composure and they left for the movie.
When they stepped outside they saw Fuse and Lightning walking their way. Firework looked mad all over again but when he saw that Lightning had a suitcase with her he had to find out what was going on.
"Fuse what gives?" Firework looked puzzled.
"Oh! Um.. Well.. You see Lightning got into a big fight with her dad and I was there to break it up and I could see she didn't need to deal with all that and I offered for her to move in with me." Fuse was nervous about what Firework might say but felt better when Lightning nuzzled him reassuringly.
"Oh... I'm so sorry Lightning. I'm glad to hear you two will be staying together. I'm sure you will be safer now." Firework had to bury his anger. He could tell Lightning had been crying a lot and she didn't need anymore crap from anypony.
"Well Firework mind telling me who your new marefriend is?" Lightning had a coy smile on her face and knew she was embarrassing Firework.
"Uhhh... Ummm... S-She's not my marefriend... This is Vinyl Scratch. The best Dj pony in all of Equestria!" Firework realized he had laid it on a little thick there and turned even more red.
"Yeah what he said I guess." Vinyl laughed a little at her intro from Firework but could tell he meant well even if it was a bit much.
"Wait the Vinyl Scratch?! Dj Pon-3?!" Lightning looked so shocked Fuse had to steady her so she wouldn't fall over.
"Well yeah that's me. But please call me Vinyl. I don't like ponies calling me Dj Pon-3. It's just a stage name."
"It's so nice to meet you! I've been to some of your concerts and I was going to try and get into the Gala and hear you preform this weekend." Lightning was staring to think this was the best day ever besides what happened with her dad.
"Well I'm sure you will get to go now that your colt friend is going to be preforming with me and Firework." Vinyl gave her a wink and a friendly smile as she looked at me and Fuse.
"What?! Fuse why didn't you tell me you knew Vinyl Scratch?!"
"Well we kinda just met but I was gonna surprise you with Gala tickets later..."
"Oh I'm sorry Fuse I didn't know it was a surprise..." Vinyl felt bad about spoiling it so she decided to invite Fuse and Lightning to the movie this evening. "Hey why don't you guys come to the movie with me and Firework tonight?"
"OH. MY. GOSH. A double date! Finally! I have been waiting for this for like forever!" Lightning was seriously about to faint right about then.
"Well lets not exactly call it a double date. I mean me and Firework aren't together." Vinyl looked at the ground and very quietly said "Yet..."
"Alright well that doesn't matter. Lets get a move on if we wanna catch the show!" Lightning practically bounced down the road with Fuse at her side. Firework and Vinyl sped off after them to catch up.
