Vinyl noticed her fans in decline, and requested Octavia comes and helps, but their fans were on the decline ten at A time everyday.

The First Day

It was A long and busy day for A musician and DJ, They were working non-stop ten parties each every six hours and they worked for a total of twenty-five parties fourteen birthdays six graduations and five welcome parties, all registered out by Pinkie Pie. What they didn't know was that the third person they welcomed was a DJ and musician themselves, so here is what happened in the first day of the arrival of the DJ musician.

"I think I should find a place to stay overnight, eh I can build my own, since it doesn't seem illegal," said our unknown DJ "Oh that's right I also have this endless storage bag, I completely forgot." He wandered into the Everfree until he found a patch of blue flowers, he wasn't too scared and walked right through the patch. Then he found a nice place to build, it was an opening so he set down his stuff. He noticed not far off was A deer, zebra, and Pegasus, they seemed to all be having fun. He flew over after casting his spell that stunned A bee after touching the bag. "Hello ladies, oh dear it seems my boots are malfunctioning, OH WATCH OUT." He crashed into the second patch of blue flowers, but it was his rocket boots touching them, nothing else.

"Oh, oh my, are you alright sir?" asked the yellow Pegasus.

"A crash I see, can it be?" Said the confusing zebra.

" It is just like the time my family hit that train!" Said the deer.

"I think I'm f-fine ack, I need to get these boots to work eventually." Said the DJ

"Poison joke isn't A hoax maybe you should bathe at my haven, hopefully there isn't A raven." Said the zebra.

"It is rude of myself, I haven't introduced myself, my name is Remix, my cutie mark is a bow, sword, DJ table, and a bunch of other things, two of are similar to the princesses' the moon and sun." Said Remix.

"My name is Little Strongheart." Said the deer.

"My rhyme is not a crime, I am Zecora, not the character Bellora." Said the rhyme zebra Zecora.

"Hello, I am nothing to fear, author." Wait who is this? I don't recall having this character added. It looks like A.

"Yes, I am A changeling the last one of this kind of changeling, the freelancer changeling, relax I intend no harm to Seronee, and any other characters you have planned in the story, although I am not letting a chance go by to cause harm to your main character, Remix." I am the AUTHOR there is NOTHING you can do, I can do many things such as toss myself into the story HA HA HA

"HA HA HA I will apprehend you changeling, for I am the author."Said the red armored guy flying around using magic to stun the changeling.
"As I can see there is something that must be left be or the doom will be brought about by he."

" I-I think I know what to do, I need that water stuff from the lake, it could turn me into something to stop this situation, but then I will turn evil." Said the shy Pegasus named Fluttershy.

" I investigated the water, don't let it get hotter, if you plan to succeed in this fulfilling deed." Said Zecora.

"Would you stop rhyming, your giving me a headache, I know what to do, detain both of them." Said the deer.

Don't even try stopping me, it is pointless. Echoed through everypony's head.

"Fine, I promise no harm to anypony, I will even assist Remix as long as you don't send me off to another story." Said the changeling.

"Good, I want to return to my narrator form please? Thank you!" It is nice in the narrator chair.

"Uhhhh, what just happened?" Said all three in unison.

"I was seeing how strong the narrator was." Said the wait, when did he change his form? He looks like my brother in pony form!

Hey! Change your form! I don't like it when people impersonate my brother! Echoed through the changelings head, so he changed into A new form which look like Link with major changes such as hair and cutie mark, though no clothing.

"OK? I'm going to go build my house, bye I guess I will see you all later, the person you call the author told you to follow me and assist me, does that mean I can call you servant now? Or what do you want me to call you?" Said Remix

"Call me Verincila, my brother is the cousin of Thorax, someone who the hive also despises along with me, though I prefer being A freelancer." Said Verincila.

"OK, well this is the patch of area I was going to build, but you and I can build together, we will need to make it big though."

"I love building, I think I will like this, I think the author will give us building materials to build with too." Hoped Verincila.

Sorry to disappoint, but I prefer not giving too much, but Remix has stuff to use for building in his bag.

"OK, so is it true Remix you have something for building?" Verincila interrogated.

"I have many things, this bag is like a black hole, I packed everything from my original home, it is in another dimension, Celestia gave me A heads up so I hurried and tossed everything, even the house in the bag, but I made life easier and put in the condenser I have in my bag, also some stuff went into the transmutation tablet." Responded the DJ as he pulled out a square board, then he pulled out all types of wood stones and other building things. "Which do you like best Verincila?"

"I like the red, orange, blue, yellow, and green stuff." Said the changeling.

"I like the green, red, and blue materials." Said Remix tossing in everything else leaving red, blue, and green building materials.

I would say keep green definitely, then maybe blue to send A chemical through your brain to calm you down, especially light blue

"The author said to definitely use green, maybe blue, claiming it sends A chemical to calm your brain, though there is A color wheel and green lines up with red, but it is up to you."

"I have this sleek green and misty blue, they look amazing together, there is what our house is going to made of." Said Remix. So they immediately began work, they finished as they noticed the sun was going down, so they rushed into town, Remix forgot he had his bag on him and noticed he didn't have their kind of money, so he decided to grab his drum set and scratch table then began playing music which the whole town stopped by donating at least two bits per pony, one pony donated twelve saying the music sounded like something she would listen to on her farm.

Reference to The Collaboratory and the song Down The Road by C2C.
They eventually had enough to stop by a shop and get some seeds, they used the bits to get twelve of all one hundred seeds they contained, leaving them with fourteen bits to use, they went to a furniture store and took three items a table and two chairs, leaving two bits, so Remix played two songs, and Verincila used some changeling magic turning into a person who had A calm voice and sung "What a day to feel alive OH! O-OH OH OH what a day to feel alive."

The name of this song is Day To Feel Alive by Jake Reese.
He sung through, then hid in the bushes swapping for A different voice, then he sung "No matter how hard I try."

How Hard I Try by Filous, one of those songs I listen to for hours.
Then kept singing for a while until he was done singing, then they counted the bits. The grand total was 4,239 bits, they were surprised and decided to donate half of it to A charity, for research in some diseases, the other half was what they used to get dinner, which wasn't a feast.

"Cmon', we can't just do that, we need this money for other days, until we have everything we need." Remix said sipping the beverage that he knew the recipe to, he made a different one for Verincila thinking he would like it, he didn't instead, he grabbed the whole bottle, and forced into his throat and savored every sip, he was in love with the stuff. "From where I was originally before sent through twenty other dimensions, it was called slice I think, or was dice? Anyways, what I have is Coco-Cola. I also know the recipe for something that is for suicidal people, while I call it death, my original dimension called them cigars and cigarettes, they gave what was called Cancer." Rambled Remix.

"Can I have more of this stuff you call slice or dice?" Begged Verincila.

"I liked it a lot, even asked the the guy at the desk serving the drinks what it was, he said Sliced, Diced, or something among those lines also, I first encountered it at A wedding, I know it wasn't Sprite though or Crush, since it wasn't the same the taste as Sprite and it was clear, not orange like Crush was. I did manage to somehow pull out some of the liquid from my lungs somehow, then put the small sample in A test thing, removing all body fluids I got the recipe, which I remember automatically, but I forgot what is in it until I go to do it, like A locker combination."

"That story is gross! Please, don't ever tell it again." Said Verincila

"Sorry, here is A gallon of the stuff." Said Remix.

"What is A gallon?" Questioned Verincila.

"A gallon is four quarts which is eight pints which is sixteen of these cups in my hooves." Remix told Verincila, then went outside and set up A machine that Verincila didn't recognize, then Remix put A diamond in and out came ten more the exact same. "I love transmutation and other things like that."

Author's Note

This is going to be like The Second Day: Christmas Time (might not actually be the plot) or something similar, the next one is on an unknown date, but I hope sometime after New Years and not before, I dunno why I like to write whenever I have free time. (p.s I dunno if me using like ten words of lyrics out of songs count against the rule against any song except MLP songs, I did give credit to where it is due so yeah.)

The Second Day Ho Ho Oooh No

"No! No no no no no no no no no no, why? NO" Verincila wept over the bloody body on the ground, suddenly out of nowhere something comes and hits the changeling in the head, suddenly turning to see a blue figure jump over his body clashing at the green and black figure, he weakly said "Luna? Chrysalis? Oh I hope it was Chrysalis who hit me on the head, since I was planning on allying with the ponies."

"Relax tis' insect is thou one thy speaks about does the bashing of other's skulls." Said the blue figure which became more clear. Then Verincila's eyes drifted to the body he was mourning over, the body was shattering, it was breaking into pieces, like shards of glass.

"Why is my friend's body disintegrating?"

"Tis' is not thy friend, tis' a dream" Luna said.

Then, Verincila jerked upwards as he found out he was in his bed, then he quickly ran to Remix's bedroom "Remix are you in there? Remix I had a dream and I want to make sure you're OK. Please respond if your awake."

"Verncla I'm tred stll ples g bck t bd" Remix moaned out obviously tired.

"Sorry I had to-"

Something is wrong, I've been trying to warn you something is wrong with Remix but I couldn't get through, you have got to find out what's up I don't know if I can keep talking to you for-.

"Well, that can't be good. Remix! Open up! I just want to make sure you're actually OK."Verincila whispered then hollered.

"Fine, I will let you in, if you promise to go back to bed in two minutes." Remix said.

"Thank you Remix, I just need to make sure of something." Verincila pointed out. Then Remix opened the door, but all light was off.

Use a light spell now, light up the room so you can see, and remember be VERY cautious.

So Verincila lit up the room and saw some figures that weren't there last night, so Verincila tried a spell on Remix, only to find out that it wasn't Remix, instead it was a changeling, and the firgures in the corners were also changelings

"Of course, why wouldn't there be, well I need to get going to Twilight's castle ASAP and warn her that something's wrong." Verincila said while teleporting outside of the house to start running.

I think it's too late for Twilight to help, but Trixie, Discord, Thorax, and-

"Author, I know who the fourth person is, and I will only try and help them, they can't know I'm helping, if Twilight can't assist us, then I'm heading straight for the hive." Verincila muttered. Then over a trek of five hours the changeling finally arrived at the hive, just to see that the hive wasn't fully alert. So Verincila walked past a guard pretending to be another regular changeling, later while walking around the hive he started hearing a 'ho ho ho' from somewhere he couldn't think of, then a door opened next to him, so he walked through to see a figure like Remix described yesterday and a scorching hole with what Remix also called a sleigh something Verincila was slightly familiar with.

"I think I remember a story from a friend of mine, his name was Remix he said that you were a story for him to tell his children if he ever had any, he said luckily his family was all dead before he got sent through like, twenty dimensions. He said as a child he thought he existed then pretended to exist." Verincila said getting side-tracked.

"Ho ho ho, yes I do exist, but that dimension is not the one I travel in, too many houses to get to." Said St. Nicholas as he got up and lifted his sleigh.

"Wait, can you help me get my friend back, the other changelings kidnapped him, and soon others will be coming, but I fear bad things will come to Remix if he isn't saved before they get here."

"Ho ho ooooooh no, I have magic yes, but the best I can do is supply some materials and advice, anymore would end in my capture, keep in mind that those characters are being recorded, so we can't be seen when they rescue people, so here, have these weapons, I planned on giving them to some good people, but they barely managed to make the nice list. Then the advice, lie about what you're doing with him, you know the sectors and stuff, not me." Said St. Nick as he got his sleigh in the air and a group of reindeer then flew over hooking up to the sleigh.

"Thank you St. Nick, this will help, I got a bag from Remix to store this for now, until I need to blast a hole with Remix escape." Verincila said through a radio he hooked to St. Nick for a minute total. Then he walked away into the rooms making his way to the Queen.

"Hello, Verincila, bet you didn't expect to see me any time soon." Said a voice.

"Lenel? Is it you Lenel? It has been a while, I told you to come with me, but you said no, are you still kind and caring? I have a major favor to do, I'm heading to the Queen for a break out, my friend was kidnapped and I need to break him out, this is a major plan, so are you in?" Verincila prayed.

"Yes, I will help you, on one favor, I come with you, and live with you, it seems that you have gotten a lot of love from where you were." Lenel demanded.

"I can do this, we have a guest room, but we can alway expand the house, and the farm, but you'll have to put in your part too at the house that I am proud to call home now." Verincila said proudly.

"That makes sense, besides I hate being a freeloader." Lenel pointed out, as they started towards the Queen's room.

"Queen Chrysalis, I am here to say the pony you captured has been bumped up on the list and is ready to be tested on to see why he seems different." Lenel said to the Queen.

"Okay, go fetch him yourself" Queen Chrysalis yawned.

"Understood our Queen" said Verincila "I also brought love for you to feed on, I will give only some of it to you cause my backups couldn't be filled while I was out." As Verincila had a weird purplish pink color flow out into the Queen's mouth.

"Thank you, it seems I can't remember your name child, doesn't matter anyways." Chrysalis said dismissively as Lenel and Verincila walked out of the room, as they turned the corner they opened up the cocoon and pulled Remix out

"Oh please don't hurt me I beg of you." Remix started to squeak as Verincila put his hoof into Remix's mouth

"Remix quiet down, we aren't going to do anything, we're here to get you out, do you have your pouch?" Verincila warned, while Remix nodded his head. "OK good, we're breaking out all three of us, this is Lenel, an old friend before I fled the hive, she is wanting to go to our home with us, I told her for a week that she can freeload at most but, she will have to pitch in." as Remix took it in and nodded. Then Verincila handed a gun to Remix and Lenel, while pulling out a mini-gun for himself.

"Where did you get these guns let alone a mini-gun?" Remix and Lenel asked in an almost yelling voice.

"Thank old saint Nicholas you guys, Merry Christmas to these filthy animals, and a Happy New Year." Verincila said while they started moving to the back of the hive. "OK we're going to plant explosives, then make a run for it, I will hold them off, if any try to stop you, have Remix use his AR on them, if needed have Lenel use her Springfield rifle." as they planted string explosives that are rather quiet and just cut through the wall.

"3..2..1... move move move." Remix whispered, they just ran while Verincila backpedals as they see a changeling turn and see them, Verincila puts a silencer on and loads up, then the changeling starts a loud warning as he gets shot with twenty bullets and the other fifty just go past him into everyone else standing around.

"They know we're escaping we need to go faster, faster than that Usain guy you talked about Remix." Verincila yelled over the major gun fire.

"We need to destroy the throne so we can use magic" Lenel said "if we actually want to survive this."

Verincila hollered, "we can't do that, it would make it so the others coming through don't learn diddly squat about themselves, relax though, no more changelings should be coming, cause now the hole patched up and they would only come out from the front, but the alarm only reached one third of the changelings, and two thirds of those changelings thought it was too late to do anything about it."

"DO YOU NEED A LIFT? IF SO JUST JUMP UPWARDS!" Said St. Nicholas on his sleigh up above their heads, but there was another person with them. Though they needed a quick escape so they jumped up.

"Thanks St. Nick I thought that this was all you could help us with?" Verincila wondered thankfully.

"No time to explain, last year they were good so I gave them a turret, which may be a big problem for us." as St. Nicholas saw a big rocket come their way.

"OH HO HO NO YOU DON'T YOU CHANGELING SCRUBS" yelled Verincila at the top of his lungs. Firing the mini-gun at the missile, hitting it just right so it turned towards the turret and hit the turret, but instead of destroying the turret, it turned into a figure that turned and shot all the nearby changelings, then it flew to St. Nicholas.

"Thank you, all of you for making me a living being, all that was needed was me being hit with one of my own rockets. Luckily for you, the male changeling knew that the missile could turn, and come back at me, although I feel I owe you now, so I will be your guard from anyone and anything at your home." The now living turret said. "Also, call me flyingturret208 please, it'd be nice to have a name."

"OK flyingturret208, my name is Verincila, I can speak with a guy named 'the author', this is Lenel, and old friend of mine who decided to assist me in rescuing my new friend Remix, oh by the way Remix, we need to extend the house upwards. Since we have two more people living with us." Verincila spoke out for the group to flyingturret208.

OK I can finally speak to you again, connection is established back, I had a different idea for you but yeah also, if you ever write flyingturret208's name write it without any capitals in it, also I'd recommend like two more other rooms besides ones for these two, I plan to have more characters of mine live with you.

"Oh come on author! You can't be serious about planning to add more characters to our house, well Remix you heard me, so which one of you two are going to help Remix and I build a grand total of four more rooms" Verincila whined out about the building extensions.

"Well, you said I get to free load for a week so yeah no thanks." Said Lenel carelessly.

"I owe you, so sure I'm down for helping you build, as long as my room is on the top of the building no matter what." Said flyingturret208 in a joyous voice.

"HO HO HO OOOOOH NO it seems that one of the changelings hooked themselves to our sleigh. So, flyingturret208 can you get them off?" St. Nicholas asked in a kind and warming voice.

"Understood, target locked, tazing target now." flyingturret208 said in an automated voice. "Target has been eliminated, now unconscious keep moving."

"Ho ho ho, we're almost at your house guys and girl, only ten miliseconds from when I finish this sentence." St. Nicholas said as they arrived over a house with a changeling standing outside aiming a wooden spear upwards at them.

"I got him, let me shoot him, this is easy, WOO HOOOOO." Verincila said jumping off of the sleigh aiming the mini-gun at the changeling, firing out fourty bullets, going into the back to the head, and even the under belly, as four ricocheted off of a stone sitting in the grass as the changeling crumpled into the ground.

"Target eliminated, remind me not to anger you." flyingturret208 joked off as he floated down carrying remix, as Lenel simply glided.

"So, who is burying him? NOT IT!" Verincila said.

"Notit" Remix said so rapidly they barely understood him.

"Notit" flyingturret208 spoke

"Not it, SHOOT" Said Lenel. Then they laughed it off, as Lenel got frustrated with her shovel, digging a hole in the woods randomly, putting the body there, and covering it, as she wandered back to the house.

Author's Note

I'm not sure if it is A or a so I will be alternating each chapter, most people use a but, I used to do A so I might make it where I use just a's not A's at all so yeah.

The Third Day Octavia and Vinyl

"Good morning Octavia, how are you? I'm off to start some music." Said Vinyl as she walked past Octavia who was practicing her new song.

"Not A good morning, you know the pony who had A cutie mark of multiple things? It turns out they're A good DJ as well, although I don't know where the singers came from, one hops into the bushes, another comes out, not to mention there wasn't room in the one bush for all of those ponies." Octavia said frustrated.

"Relax, I bet this will all eventually blow over, it always does." Vinyl said as she took A bowl, some milk, and some wheat, then put it in the bowl while levitating A spoon over to eat the food.

"I don't think so this time, Pinkie Pie said we can have A break for A little while, usually she tries them for one party and then moves back to us, but she has them hired for the whole day saying that two days ago she heard them and was amazed at their performance, I say you and I have A battle of the bands and see who is the best musician." Octavia objected.

"Wow, already wanted to beat em' up huh? They must be real good then, if you're already wanting to have A battle with them." Vinyl laughed as she ate her breakfast.

"I don't think this is A laughing matter Vinyl, I seriously think that our musical reputation is at stake. Pinkie Pie already hired them for the whole day, for every party there is, may I remind you that this is usually our best day of the year for profits, I even hear that the DJ was considering doing it free, but Pinkie Pie said her morals are what are making them accept the bits she wants to pay them for the day. So I'm not sure if we are being replaced." The worry in Octavia's voice was obvious. Then Vinyl walked over and sat next to her.

Vinyl then said "Look, if this is that important I will head over to Sugarcube corner and ask Pinkie Pie to have A battle of music between them and us, OK?"

"Sure, thank you Vinyl" said Octavia, "sorry about my reaction, it just worries me that she is doing this, so if we can, when the battle has A date set, lets bring our best just in case."

"We can do that, I can have her set up A date for the battle besides sometime soon." Vinyl said as she started out the door.

"Well, since she's gone better go find A song for the battle that we're having soon." Said Octavia to herself, alone in the house, she walked over to her music shelf and skimmed for A song. "I can't find anything good, or at least sung by A mare, maybe Twilight has A book filled with them." Said Octavia as she walked out the door making her way to Twilight's castle. "Twilight, please open up, I have A favor I'd like to ask, do you have a book filled with songs that were made by only mares?"

"Yes! Just A minute I'm guessing you plan to have A musical battle against the new DJ in town? I heard him yesterday, his music actually sounds as good as Vinyl and yours if not better, and I'm obsessed with books not music" Twilight Sparkle said almost rambling "anyways, here is the book you requested."

"Thank you Princess Twilight, and yes I plan to have A battle against the new DJ, I'm worried that we'll lose our fans, if we do then we're out of A job." Octavia thanked.

"I think you should be worried, since this new DJ, Remix I think his name is sounds just as good, and is fresh from your music genre." Twilight thought out loud. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you worried any more than you already are, if you want I could get Spike to find you A job if you can't keep your fans, and besides, I bet you have so much in your account that you could live off interest alone, or put some money in stocks, though that's a risky move-"

"Twilight, not to be rude but you're rambling" Octavia interrupted "I could become A boxer, during the battle for Canterlot versus the changelings I was fighting them one by one, and I only killed one changeling yet through A cart at one."

"Hello, I can speak with the author and he said that's A reference to an animation called what was it again?... oh ok it was once upon a time in Canterlot by someone called KanashiiPanda I think the author said." Said A random figure that you all know as Verincila but Octavia doesn't know

"CHANGELING I GOT HIM PRINCESS I'LL RIP HIM TO-" Octavia started to yell as A purple glow engulfed her.

"Relax, that is A recent person who moved in, with the new DJ, Verincila who actually is friendly, not one of the changelings that suck on love, wait A second, Verincila why didn't you turn into A changeling that was definitely friendly?" Twilight responded.

"Oh I don't know I tried giving some to Thorax but it did nothing, I guess you didn't get the message from him about it, I can't even get my wings to glow signifying I'm friendly." Verincila replied.

"Interesting, I will have to investigate this incident." Twilight Sparkle remarked.
