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

(Author's notes): Hey everypony this chapter was gonna be out sooner but ibrony.com was down for a few hours. Anyways seriously somepony tell me what you think. I feel like I've veered to far from the band aspect of the story. Well as always comment and enjoy.

Firework and Vinyl were having drinks at the cafe when they saw Octavia walking past on her way home. Vinyl tried to not be seen by Octavia but when you are a snow white unicorn with an electric blue mane ponies always notice you. So Octavia walked over to their table and sat down to have the serious talk she wanted to have earlier.

"Hello Vinyl, Firework." She nodded to the unicorn and just stared at the blue Pegasus.

"What do you want Octavia?" Vinyl said coldly.

"I'm here to apologize for my behavior earlier. I was out of line and disturbed a private moment." Octavia tried to look sincere behind her stern manner.

"It's fine. You don't need to worry about me all the time, ok Oc?" Vinyl was trying to be nice but she was still upset. "And if it makes you feel any better Firework didn't know. I just ran in and jumped on top of him." She had a hard time saying that without turning red.

"O-Octavia I promise I would never try and hurt Vinyl. She means the world to me. In fact I was willing to quit my band just to have time for her." Firework was very sincere but looked sad all the same.

"Well that's very nice of you but I still had to come talk to you all the same. I love Vinyl. She's my best and only friend in the world and I've already seen her hurt by a stallion with nice intentions." Octavia looked at Vinyl with pleading eyes.

"Look Octavia. He's the nicest stallion I've ever met. You should see his room, he has posters of all my concerts and albums. It feels like a shrine to me!" She giggled and held Firework's hoof from under the table.

"Well I'm glad you two are happy. Firework please allow me to make you two dinner as a peace offering so to speak."

"Well I don't want to impo-." Firework was cut off by Vinyl.

"That would be awesome Octavia. 8 sound good?" Vinyl asked.

"That will be fine don't you two be late." Octavia had a fake serious expression on her face.

Vinyl and Firework had to find something to do until 8. It was only 3. So Firework said they should go get Fuse and do a run through of the Gala. The three of them had yet to practice together. So Firework paid for the drinks and they left for Fuse's house. It took them an hour to walk to Fuse's. It's hard to walk fast with only three hooves. Vinyl kept holding Firework's hoof so Firework just put his wing around Vinyl and kept her close as they walked. When they got to Fuse's house Firework knocked on the door right as Fuse was opening the door.

"Oh hey guys! Sorry about earlier... I was on my way to see if Firework wanted to practice." Fuse said after closing the door.

"Well that's why we're here. We want to do a run through of the show. We haven't all practiced together yet." Firework stated.

"Alright well let's get to it!" Fuse said.

The three of them went up to Firework's room and Vinyl got on the mixing table while Firework and Fuse took their places at where the stage would be. Vinyl would be almost directly behind them with her speakers pointing outward towards Firework, Fuse and where the crowd would be. When Vinyl started the first track she noticed how Firework and Fuse tensed up but both tapped a hoof to the beat in sync. When they started to rap they were in total control. They captured Vinyl's full attention. They commanded the mic and rap back and forth like they had done this a million times. Vinyl was very impressed. Then she was worried. The biggest names in all of Equestria were at the Gala if Firework and Fuse became famous she might lose him and that was the last thing she wanted. Half way through the third song the unicorn ran out of the room with tears in her eyes. Firework ran after her and Fuse just sat there with a puzzled look on his face. Vinyl ran into Firework's bedroom and fell onto his bed crying into his pillow. Firework came in after her and curled up beside her.

"Vinyl, baby what's wrong? Are we really that bad?" He said with a laugh.

"No it's the opposite. You guys are amazing. I'm afraid you guys will get noticed at the Gala, become famous and then I would lose you..." Vinyl said between sobs.

"Vinyl. I-I would never leave you." Firework said as he scooped Vinyl into his arms.

"You mean it?" Vinyl asked with sad, wet eyes.

"Of course I do." Firework said. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Firework?"

"Yes Vinyl?"

"I-I love you."

"I love you too Vinyl." Firework kissed her deeply and held her close to assure her that he wasn't going anywhere.

After about 10 minuets Vinyl and Firework returned to Fuse who was patiently waiting on the floor. Vinyl returned to the mixing board without a word and began the next song with her magic. Fuse looked at her and then at Firework with a very confused expression. Firework gave him a look that said "Don't worry about it." so Fuse just went back to rapping. After hours of practice Vinyl realized it was 7:30 and they needed to start heading to her house for dinner. So Firework and Vinyl said their goodbyes and headed off to Vinyl's house. They arrived just around 8 and came inside to the smells of cooking.
