//////////////////
Dammed last day of school. Everything seems slower if you don’t want to be somewhere but are forced to be there. I swear, I closed my eyes at 10:34 and when I opened them and looked back it was 10:31. WHAT THE HELL!!
And the teachers, ugh, they don’t let the fact that NO one is listening to deprive them of the chance to ask questions and pull a pop quiz. Who pulls a pop quiz on the history of some Asian country (Can you tell I’ve been listening REALLY hard?) on the last day of school?
Oh, wait I should probably introduce myself. I’m that guy in the back of the class. No, not the one with glasses. To left of him. NO, not the chick in the corner, I said I was a gu- never mind, the guy BETWEEN those two. Yes that’s me; the guy with sandy-brown hair, In need of a shave, grey-blue eyes (currently unfocused), wearing the uniform with PRIDE (yeah right), and twiddling with his necklace that his grandma had given him.
My name is Jack. I’m a typical 17yr old guy, Born and raised in Australia. I have a Mum, Dad, a Gremlin *cough I mean little brother. I get average to good grades at school; I’ve lost the big V at a party a few months back (kinda proud of that.), I have a job at Hungry Jacks (Not so proud of that.). But enough of that crap.
The final bell going off grabbed my attention and I swear it was like the starting bell of a greyhound race. BANG! And their off! David starts ahead of the pack, followed closely by Jessica, Tony, Brad and Moi. The other all had a faulty start due to equipment retrieval. David gets to the door but is slammed by a team of Jessica and Tony, while Brad and I slip past outside. It was neck to neck, they both charge to their bags. It’s going to be close. Brad get to his bag first but is slowed with the zips, while Leon flips the top of his satchel (And let me make a point, it’s a SATCHEL, not a man-bag or purse. A SATCHEL, you know, a place to store all you're crap and skittles.) He shoves his books in and shut it and run down the hallway and out the doors.
AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!
He stops just outside and smells freedom, it smelled GOOD.
I looked down and through my satchel to make sure I didn’t leave anything back at the classroom, because I didn’t wanna go back for any reason whatsoever. After a couple of seconds of half-ass looking I was ready to go.
“Okay, now just need to call Tob’s” He pats his pocket…then the other… then hangs his head. “Shit, of course I left my phone, the one thing I will actually go back for.” I turned and started the walk of shame.
“HEY, JACK!!” I stopped and looked up the hallway and saw my friend Doc walking towards me. His name was really Henry but he was a “know-it-all” and proud of it. He was a cool guy to me though so I treat him nicely. We had known each other for a few years, since year 9. He was also the guy with the glasses I spoke of earlier.
“Hay Doc, what’s up my colt?”
Doc raised his eyebrow at me. “Dude, why colt? Just call me a "Dude" or something. Were you watching My Little Pony again?”
I flipped him off and he just laughs.
Doc wasn’t a fan of the show and I respected that because he respected the fact I DID watch it, but that didn’t stop us having a joke with each other about it. I, on the other hand, was a brony. Not the “In-your-face” kind or the “Addicted-to-ponys” kind, the kind that goes about his life normally. The most brony thing I have done is buy a grey jumper and had the idea to put Octavia’s cutie mark on the side. Yeah, I know what you’re probably going to say, “why not one of the main 6?”
Well it’s because they all are so predictable, I mean with the background pony’s you never know what to expect. Plus, EVERYONE loves the main 6 and I like to be different, sue me.
“So what if I did, at least I wasn’t caught wearing my mother’s dresses.”
O yeah, sucker punch
Doc blushed, “dude, I was 7 and I thought they were capes.”
“That’s beside the point, and you still did it. Anyway what do you want?”
Doc holds up my phone, “I WAS going to give this back to ya, cause I saw it on my way out, but I don’t know now since you are being a dick.” Oh that’s cold, even to a guy like me.
“Okay, okay, okay; can I have my phone, if you give me it, I’ll take back what I said.”
“Say please, Henry can I have my phone back”
“… Please Henry, can I have my phone back before I shove those glasses up your ass.”
“haha, you’re too lazy to even try. Here you are.”
He tosses my phone to me and then pulls out his own. Doc’s parents were a little wealthier than mine so he pulls out that new IPhone, while I have a little Nokia brick. Not that I’m complaining, I love it. I only use it for work and messaging so, I don’t need a better phone. Doc on the other hand, had a different opinion. “Dude, you need a phone like this, it’s got everything; music, picture, games, internet, can call almost anywhere, GPS, (Nuclear Weapon capabilities?)I mean everything. Why do you bother with that piece of shit?”
I raise my phone, “Why, cause if you drop your phone the screen gonna crack, I drop MY phone and the concrete is gonna crack, that’s why. Are you still coming over tonight?”
Doc waves his hand vaguely, “I’ll be there, not sure what time though. So don’t wait up.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it. I’ll catch ya later then”
I start walking away, dialing Toby's number as I walk out the school gates. The phone rings out and I got his voicemail. I left a formal and polite request for him to come over tonight,
Hay dickhead, meet at my place tonight, and bring alcohol as well.
As I start walking home I make a quick pit stop to grab, uh, “supplies” for tonight. I walk into the Pharmacist and up to the front counter. The little old lady behind the counter asks what I wanted. “Um, is Ebony here? She’s got my prescription.”
The lady walked out the back calling out and a few awkward minutes later Ebony walked out. To sum up Ebony in a word, Black. No seriously, I’m not being racist here, she is the blackest girl I know. Afro and everything. And she’s damn proud of the fact too. “Hello sir how can I he- urg it’s just you motherfucker. What do ya want?”
Yep, that’s Ebony, blunt and yet, rude. Probably one of the reasons she’s a buddy of mine. Well, that and the fact she is my dealer.
“Nice to see you too Eb’s, I was looking forward to hearing you say that all day.”
Was I a little too hard on the sarcasm? …Nah.
“Fuck off Ivory, now what do ya want? The usual or are willing to take a walk on the wild side.” She flicked her eyebrows at me when she said this.
Me being a male misinterpreted this, cause I immediately blushed, a fact she noticed.
“Wait, you think that I… Holy fucking shit.” She starts laughing “Oh, dude. That’s fucking gold. Urrrg that’s going on facebook.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, laugh it up, now explain what you’re talking about, so I don’t make an even bigger fool of myself.”
She leans in closer so that no one can hear.
“I got my hands on something new, I mean not even selling in the big dogs markets, don’t ask how I got it. But man,” she pulls out a bag from her pocket full of what looked like purple weed, “you wanna be one of the first people to try “Discords Chaos”?”
… HELL YES!!
/////////////////
Ebony's shift ended 30 minutes later and with 4 bags bought later, we were walking home, well, I walked while Ebony was on her skateboard. I lived in a small community next to a big town/small city, called Peach fields, (gag). It was a quiet neighborhood, nothing really exciting happens; well except for that one time we made a bon-fire in the park. It was a big party that the areas teens had arranged for the end of year 11. Middle of the night, whole grade was there, and we are burning a telephone pole. (I don’t know where we got it, but I know it’s pretty high up on the drunk/theft scale.)
Doc had got really tipsy and high, and he was walking around the fire, singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", which cracked us the fuck up, cause we figured he really was over the rainbow dancing with the purple dragon. To this day i don't know how it happened, but somehow Doc's leg caught fire. So he did the whole "Drop and Roll", then my drunk friends proceed to stomp him out. You know when a elderly group of ladies see a mouse, they flip the fuck out and start stomping everywhere in the general direction of it, that's what i looked like. Funny as hell to watch, sucks if your the mouse.
Anyway, we arrive at my house. Nothing special; 2 stories, a garage, a dog, white fence. My car was parked on the side of the road, it was currently not working for some reason and I’m no mechanic, so it was staying that way for a while. I opened the gate, letting Ebony and myself through while my dog Boston came running around the side of the house and rolled over at my feet for a belly scratch. Which i gave to him, he was my dog after all.
"Still surprised you don't live in a trailer or whatever it is hillbilly's live in." she grinned at me smugly.
"At least its better then you're tribes cave." Oh yeah i said th- WHAM, (oh another thing about Ebony, she likes to hit people. Particularly Toby, but i'm right up there to.)
"Arrgh, that really hurt Eb, why you always gotta hit me?"
"Why do you always have to be a annoying prick?"
Touche'
Rubbing my jaw, i walked up and pulled my key from my satchel's pocket. After unlocking the door I stepped inside and hung up my satchel on the rack. Noticing that Ebony hadn't followed I stick my head out the door and found her petting my dog, still standing next to the gate.
"You coming in or are you going to bounce?"
She looks up to you and stops petting the dog, he whines then trots inside, she picks her skateboard up.
"I've gotta go make some shit at home first but i'll be back tonight."
She waves and opens and shuts the gate as she goes through. As she skates away she yells out "Just don't start till i get there!"
"NO PROMISES!!"
Chuckling i go inside and up the stairs to the kitchen, grab a bit to eat and drink. I bummed around till Mum and Dad got home with Brandon (The Gremlin.) Dad was a truck driver and mom worked as a child physiologist, which meant that i was the unpaid babysitter. My brother was the typical 14 going on 17 teenager, talked like he was playing CoD, Blond dyed justin Bieber hair, (not problem with the guy, just my brother) more Ex's then fingers on his hands and ipod attatched to his pocket.
Dad walked into his room to get dressed for work, he starts work a 4pm and finishes whenever he gets home cause he drives all over Australia, not just our little area. He was a tall, buff, hairy man, i mean like true blue Ned Kelly beard, just a tad smaller then me although he would kick my ass faster then blinking and i knew that, so i don't try to pull anything against him. Plus the guy raised me when my sperm Donner left when i was four, he is a god of a man to me. When a noticed him pull a suitcase i knew he would be gone for a while, which i was use to. What surprised me was when mum came out of the walk-in closet and she had a suitcase already pack.
"Alex, why are you only packing now?! We don't want to be leaving at nine o'clock at night, didn't i tell you earlier to pack? Make sure you don't forget anything."
Yep, that's mum.
Worry's over everything that was possible. She was a shorter woman, her green eyes covered by her glasses making them look a deeper shade then they were really. Her Bourbon-red hair was medium-length and curled near the end.
"Because I wanted to make sure that I had everything just before we left, so we aren't running around like a headless chook, kinda like what your doing now. So just relax Rachel, it'll be fine."
I decide to find out where they were going and it turns out that they were going to take a tour of Austraila cause mum had got some time off and dads next job was in Perth. They had only organised it this morning, while we were at school, (yeah my family aren't planners) the asked if I wanted to come but I declined. (Which I suspect they were happy about due to my food bill.)
So I left them to go into my room to take a closer look at my "supplies".
I opened my door and entered my room. It was a small to medium room with a window on the far side, light blue walls with a dark green feature wall, (I had wanted a dark red feature wall, but apparently blue and red don't mix well.) I had a Mass Effect painting on one wall with a "Hangover 2" poster under it, a desk in the corner with no computer due to me looking up "things i shouldn't" to quote my mum, while my dad gave me the thumbs up behind her, a closet with a Alien head with my hat on it and and bookcase, Eragon, Harry Potter, Twilight (Don't judge), etc. The floors were tiled with white marble, although you cant tell due to the clothes everywhere. The only thing that was out of place was the person sitting on my bed with my "Supplies".
"Bruh, you know mum will kill you if she finds this?"
Shit, i really need a lock for my door.
"BRANDON! what the hell are you doing in my room? put that shit down."
Brandon smiled smugly, "I was getting the charger for the ipod, but i found something better, MUCH better. Mum should know that you have this stuff." (Oh, by the way Brandon was mum's GOLDEN boy, can't do wrong plus a snitch.)
I knew where this was going and sighed, "Okay how much is it going to cost me for you to forget that you saw this?"
(I know that this seems pretty wussy, but it wasn't worth the fight with my mum.)
He raised his eyebrow, "A bag of this stuff."
"Fuck off, no."
"Half-a bag"
"Dude, no, i paid for that its mine."
"How about i tell mum about the weed and dad about MLP?"
".... Dude, that's low. Fine, A Quarter of a bag and that's it."
I guess its not that big a deal, if he gets caught it's on him, whats the worst that could happen?
////////////////////
After the family started their little "Adventure" I waited around until Ebony arrived, bringing a bag of "chaos brownies" with her that i instantly approved of. Doc arrived twenty minutes later bringing some alcohol, when we were nearly finished that Toby arrived.
Toby was the "I don't give a fuck" kind of guy, he had long, black and blue dyed hair, a skinny figure and a mouth that was dirtier then his ass, (not that i could talk).
"Whaz upppppp?"
To which we replayed, (Except Ebony)
"WHAZ UPPPPP!!"
"you guys are fucking morons"
Toby laughed and lifted up a bag of booze and weed, "Am i now?
Ebony pulled the vodka out, "Okay i take it back. You're just a idiot."
After ten minutes of drinking and smoking weed, Well everyone smoked except Doc, something about a repeat of history, we agreed that it was time for the big guns to come out.
Me, Toby and Ebony rolled up joints while Doc grabbed on of the brownies.
We looked at each other, "Okay on three."
"THREE!!"
We all inhaled and ate in doc's case.
"hmm, not that ba- WHOA that's got a after kick."
"hehe i feel like i'm gonna raise off the ground."
"You bunch of pussies it's, it's,"
Ebony starts giggling
"it's not that bad."
"yeah, it's as loose as Ebony."
WHAM
"You had that coming Tob's"
I just sat there, tripping on the weird stuff i was seeing, like Ebony's Afro blooming into a black flower, Doc's glasses growing until they were like plane wings, and Toby's hair started to change colors, from black and blue to white and pink, then; green and yellow, silver and scarlet ect.
Then the room started to spin sideways Like Inception Hallway style.
DID THIS WEED HAVE ACID IN IT?
Nothing moved until we were on the roof/floor, then on the floor/roo- wait, was it the the other way round or maybe it- OH WHAT EVER, a square of pink light appear above up on the surface of the now roof/floor. Now I could handle this, what worried me was when gravity seemed to move and we were all getting pulled towards it. the last thing i thought before going through was:
"... I really need to quit, this is fucking crazy."
Toby’s POV
//////////////////////////////
Ssssswwwwwwwwwwooshhhhhhhh
Ssssswwwwwwwwwwooshhhhhhhh
“Argg, what the- Holy hell that was awesome, the room spinning, the sandman walking in, ebony becoming white, aww that was great. Oww, head hurts, argg body hurts too.”
Kaw, KAW.
“What the, why is there a bird inside Jack's room. And, is that the ocean? Dude, I must still be out to it.”
I stretched my legs and arms out in front of me.
“Hmmmm, nothing like a good stretch over the sand to wake up aft- … sand?”
I creaked open my eyes and sure enough I was lying on a long stretch of yellow sand, running along towards and over the horizon. A perfectly green hillside stretched in front of the sand with trees and birds chirping around a light blue sky. I turned and looked behind me, a green-blue ocean swirled and waved in the mid-morning sun
“…. Okay I think I’m still high. I must admit though, this pretty cool, in a girly-weird sort a way.”
I rubbed my eyes, trying to clear the sand and sleep from my face but found it strangely harder than usual.
“Argg, geez why is it so hard to get the sand out with my hand, it’s just a simpl-…hand?”
I lowered my “hand” to find a jet black hoof with a grey outline instead.
Raising my eyebrow I moved it left, then right, then left again. I twirled it around and found like a hand it only went a quarter turn in either direction. He looked at his other hand and it too was a hoof.
“… Oookay, this is trippy.”
"HAY, YOU THERE, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"
I looked up as a guys voice reached me.
“Huh?”
Then another voice sang out, this one deeper.
"OVER HERE BUDDY!"
Two horses were walking up towards me, saddled up with fishing gear and supplies for what looked like camping. But there was no one riding them. Where were the riders? Maybe they were walking behind them.
“Okay I hear ya, but I don’t see you, where are you?”
The horse on the left raised it eyebrow.
How does a horse raise its eyebrow, it’s not like it can understa-
“We are right in front of you, what are you blind?”
Aand, my sense of reality has just been destroyed. I better still be high or I’m going to flip the fuck out.
“Hellooo, Equestria to black pony.”
Equestri-what now? Black pony? What the fuck are these horses talking about?
“Huh, you’re talking to me? How are you talking?”
The horse on the right chuckled
“So you can talk, that’s great. And I talk with my mouth, same as anypony.”
Haha, I have no idea what to say.
“Anyway, I’m Hook, this is my twin brother, Line. Sooo, what’s your name? I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.”
SHITSHITSHITSHIT OH FUCK ME, QUICK COME UP WITH SOMETHING…
“I’m, uh, Toby, yeah that’s me, good old Toby.”
O God Why Did I Give Him My REAL NAME! please buy it.
“Cool name, a little weird but not the weirdest; so what you doing here? Taking a swim or something? Cause usually nopony comes this way.”
“…yes, that’s exactly what I was doing; now I’m sunbaking, haha.”
Dear God, I need to get sober FAST!! I’m actually talking to them now!!
“Well okay, you might want to finish up though because a storm has being scheduled for this afternoon, so I’d hurry back to Ponyville if I was you.”
Ponyville, gag. What kind of name is Ponyville? Wait, where the fuck is it?
“Okay, will do. Which way was it from here again?”
Please don’t be far, please don’t be far.
“It’s just over those hills, about a forty minute trot. Did yah hit your head buddy? It’s pretty hard to forget where it is.”
“Ha-ha no, I just, uh, have no sense of direction. Ha-ha I get lost really easily.”
That should be a legitimate excuse. Now start a forty FUCKING minute walk, high as a kite. This should be fun. NOT!!
“Well, okay. You have a good day now. Come on Line, we need to get-on home before that storm hits.”
Line nods in my direction having not said a word this whole time and then starts to follow his brother. As they fade away I try to stand get to my feet. A couple seconds later I realize I no longer had two feet but four hooves and that it was harder to stand up then it looks, plus my back legs were bending in the opposite direction than normal. It felt FUCKING weird!!
“Okay, so to sum up in a nutshell; I am now a pony in an almost cartoon looking world, I have no idea where anything is except this “Ponyville” that is forty-minutes away, I don’t know how to do anything basic like standing, let alone walking, a pair of horses that could talk have warned me that a storm is coming and I’m probably going to get stuck in it. HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT GOD!?! HUH?!”
WOOOOOSHHHHH
As i yelled the last sentence a huge wave had formed behind me and smashed over me, drenching me with salt-water.
“Aaaand now I’m soaking wet. Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks for reminding me god.”
I try again at standing up, remembering what I’ve seen on the discovery channel on farm animals.
After a few face plants, much swearing and annoyance, I had managed to stand up and walk a couple of steps. During my faces multiple relationship’s with the ground I had noticed that I also had a pair of wings. They were dripping wet and immobile, but I had WINGS!!
“…Okay, I will admit that’s pretty awesome.”
Then an idea struck me like lightning.
“Wait, I don’t need to walk, I can FLY!! Ha-ha, take that god!! A forty minute walk my ass, I’ll be there in ten with no problems.”
//////////////////////////////
“FUCK FLYING, FUCK WINGS, FUCK THIS STUPID PLACE, FUCK YOU GOD CAUSE I KNOW YOU HAD A HAND IN THIS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, FUCK YOU JACK FOR GIVING ME THAT FUCKING WEIRD SHIT!!”
Three hours after realizing I had wings, I was nowhere nearer to flying then an elephant was and I could see the storm coming over the hills.
I was now walking shakily towards where the horses had told me to go. Every five minutes or so, I would trip on something like root, my feet, a rock, a ditch, my feet, a stick and again my feet.
By the time I had reached the hill that overlooked a small, town looking place, that I had assumed was this fabled “Ponyville”; I was not the blue-bird of happiness. On the upside I was dry now.
BOOM
Thunder started to rumble followed by a flash of lightning, striking right next to me.
I’ll say it, I shat a brick. Not proud of it but I’d like to see anyone be there and NOT shit a brick.
As a stumble/run down the side of the hillside the rain started to fall. HARD.
Within thirty seconds I was drenched again and blind due to the force of the rain.
I stumbled/run over a bridge into the town, trying to find a bit of shelter. I found a gazebo in the middle of what looked like a park. I dragged myself out of the rain and stood there shivering for a second before shacking myself like a dog, which I admit was fun, although I was still wet. But I was out of the rain, so I was thank full of that. But the real bitch now was the wind; it hit me like waves of freaking ice over and over. I now had a moment to look around a fifty-meter radius of visibility. Mainly houses where around the park and gazebo but there was a big building that looked like two house in one. While I looked at the building I notice a white pony run across the street and towards it. It knocked rapidly and the door opened to let it in.
“Hmm, maybe I can get in there too. It’s better than freezing my balls off out here.”
I make a bee-line for the building. The rain stings my eyes so I close them, trying to keep my direction towards the general area of the building.
“Man, I hope I get to it and don’t miss it, which would suck ba-“
WHAM
Yep, found it, thanks face. You’re the best finder of hard objects I will ever know.
Rubbing my face to get some feeling back, I then knocked on the door rapidly.
A couple seconds later the door opened to reveal a portly white horse with a black mustache and cigar in his mouth. His grey hair cut so that it is spiky at the front.
“Geeze mate, get inside, it’s raining cats and dogs out there.”
No Shit, Really? I thought it was quite sunny.
“Thanks, Christ it’s terrible out ther- SHIT!”
As I walked inside I slipped on the puddle of water, and thanks to my awesome balancing skills I had another relationship with the floor. I was getting to know her very well.
The white horse chuckles, taking a puff of the cigar and making a smoke ring.
“Alright down there, mate? Sorry about that, my daughters left a bit of a mess when they got back. I was going to get them to clean it up, but then you knocked.”
“Lucky me. I’m Toby by the way.”
I hold up a hoof as if to hand shake out of reflex but he somehow grabs and shakes.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Walter Scratch, owner of this club.”
“Club?”
I look around and finally noticing my surroundings, it was in fact, as he said, what looked like a dance club; complete with a bar, stage, dance floor, booths and a DJ table.
The lighting was a simple pre-club theme, not blinding but not a raving darkness. The stage has speakers and spotlights of different colours and has a chair in the middle with a microphone, plus a cello resting against the chair. The DJ station was black and electric-blue with a screen on the front of it. DJ-PON3 was on the side in big silver letters. The booths were dark red couches with brown wooden tables, big enough for four people. The Bar was along the other side of the room and was a sleek grey with a crystal bench. Behind the bench was a staircase leading somewhere upstairs, probably bedrooms. What could my attention was the library of alcohol behind the bar.
Walter noticed where I was looking and smiled at me.
“You want a drink mate?
“…yes, yes I would. I need one after the shit I’ve been through today.”
Walter then looks at me with a serious expression as he slowly puffed his cigar.
“Are you the legal age?”
Oh crap, um what’s the age limit again?
“Ahh, I’m eighteen. Soo…”
Walter smiles and pulls the cigar from his mouth blowing the smoke in my face but I was used to that so I didn’t cough.
“Close enough. Just don’t go spreading the word.”
THANK YOU JESUS, YOU LIVE THROUGH THIS MAN, HORSE, WHATEVER HE IS.
Walter walked around the bar to the Holy Grail and pulled out a bottle, and sets it down on the bench.
“Here, we’ll start you off with a personal favorite of mine.”
He grabbed two glasses and set them down and filled it with an amber-liquid.
“Good old ‘Buck Daniel’s’, she’s my lady, smooth and creamy. So bad I shouldn’t, but I will.”
He takes out his cigar and puts in the ash tray, then downs his whole drink in one without any trouble.
Buck Daniel’s? Hmm seems something’s are just universal, even a drug induced world has good taste.
After a few glasses of Buck a door shutting was heard upstairs followed by footsteps on the stairs. Another white horse entered the room, although this one was a lot smaller then Walter and her hair was a messed up mix of Electric-blue and dark blue. The coolest thing though, was the pair of shades that she wore, a black pair with amethyst purple lenses that hid its eyes.
“Dad, Octy used all of the shampoo and hot water again. She is always doing it. Wait, what are you doing? Who’s your friend?”
Now, my alcohol tolerance when I’m sober was pretty good, but either because I’m still high or this was stronger than normal, cause all I got out was:
“am tooobiee, nnisse to meeat ya”
Then I toppled over backwards and felt a little pain, then blackness.
//////////////////////////
Huh, aww thank god. It was all a dream. I mean it was a weird and realistic dream but I’m glad that I’m back in reality. Mmmmh, I need a stretch. I reach out in front of me and then down towards the bed, pausing when it felt softer then I remembered. Running my hand down it when from soft to silky and then smooth.
What the-
I give it a squeeze and hear a gasp.
Huh, who’s in bed with me?
I open my eyes and see my HOOF…
Great, it wasn’t a dream. Wait, what am I touching?
I followed my hoof to what looked like a white horses ass.
Okay that’s a new thing to wake up to.
“Ahem, you find what you’re looking for?”
I turn my head slowly to find a pair of ruby eyes with raised eyebrows glaring at me.
OH Shit… well if I’m going to hell, might as well ensure its first class.
“…Yeah, actually I have. And might I say it was worth the effort to find, it’s rather smooth and silky.
As I say this I give it another squeeze. This earns a small blush and gasp.
Oh yeeeah, ladies’ man in any uni- what is she doing?
She had raised her hoof to eye level.
FFFFFUUUUUUU-
WHAM
“OUCH, that Fucking hurt!!”
I grab my nose with my Han-HOOFS and noticed blood coming out.
“You punched me in the face!”
She shrugged and coolly looked back.
“You grabbed my ass,”
I twitched my eye.
“…you punched me in the face!”
“You touched my ass.”
She said it a bit louder.
“…YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE BITCH!”
In retrospect all this earned me was another punch.
WHAM
“GHAAA, YOU PUNCHED ME AGAIN!!”
“YOU CALLED ME A BITCH!!”
“I’LL CALL YOU A LOT WORSE IN A SECOND, YOU WHORE!!”
Her eyes narrowed and were like hot-iron.
“I’LL PUNCH SOMEWHERE A LOT MORE PAINFUL IF YOU KEEP THIS UP!”
My eyes widen, and instinctively cover my manhood.
Hey, is it just me or is it bigger? ...Questions for later.
She nods sharply and gets out of the bed, giving a small hmph.
“Now get up and out of my room. The bathroom is down the hall to the left.”
Her Room?
I looked around noticed the room finally.
It looked like a bomb had hit the place; empty cans of drink littered the ground like mines, a desk in the corner was cover by spare blankets and CD’s, a signed poster of a winged-horse with a green and yellow mane ,with what looked like a toaster burning as a tattoo on his ass. The curtains were closed thankfully, and were a sliver that seemed to make the dark blue walls look pretty cool. A stereo was in the corner of the room and surprisingly it was clean as a whistle. A closet stood next to the stereo, open with clothes spilling out.
“Hay, I mean now, not tomorrow.”
Groaning I roll out of the bed and end up on the floor again. Holding my face with one hoof, I shakily get back up and make to towards the door, avoiding any cans or chip packets.
“Hold up a sec.”
I turn to see her move over to me. She had pissed me off with her punching, so she wasn’t my favorite horse at the moment.
“What do you want?”
She stopped in front of me and looked at me coolly.
WHAM
“ARRGGG, WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT!! WHAT WAS THAT ONE FOR?!”
She walked over desk and looked at the pair of amethyst shades, a glow appeared surrounding the shades in different colors, like a rave lighting set-up, and they lifted by themselves and landed on her face, covering her eyes.
“You called me a whore; count yourself lucky that’s all I did.”
Grumbling and hurt I make my way to the bathroom to clean myself up. i notice myself in the mirror. my body was jet black, same color as my hair that was longer the front and even still had the dark blue stripe i had. The coolest thing thou was my eyes, they were a light green, kinda like the color of luminous paint.
Two tissues in my nose and a clean face later, I head downstairs to find Walter eating some toast with another horse, a light grey one with a purple bow-tie.
They all look up when I entered, the light-grey one cheered while Walter groaned.
“PAY UP, I WON!!”
A slight British caught my attention.
Geez, there’s poms here too.
Walter tossed a bunch of coins across the table towards the grey horse. The grey one swept the coins into a pile and then counted them.
“Hay, I’m missing four bits. Stop being stingy.”
Walter averted his eyes to me when this was said.
“So, light-weight, are you feeling better? You took a nasty fall there yesterday.”
The grey one laughed and pointed at me.
“Looks like he already has had a nasty morning. What did you do to piss off Vinyl? Couldn’t you “rise” to her expectations or was it over too fast?”
She emphasized on the “rise” giving me a smug look. Walter grinned at me as well, while the brown one looked away embarrassed at the topic.
Well two can play at that game.
“Actually, we are still going at it, she just sent me down to grab some whip-cream and honey, cause we’ve covered bondage, M&S, your room, and costumes, so now we are moving on to kinky food.”
I say this with the world’s best poker face, the others on the other hand weren’t as composed; the brown one went bright red and coughed uncomfortably, Walter cracked up laughing and fell of his stool and the grey ones grin vanished faster than blinking and her eyes widened at the mention of her room being used.
“I’ll be right back.”
The grey one slipped off her stool and hurried upstairs, probably to see if I was bluffing or not.
Chuckling I walked over to the table and noticed the stack of coins still sitting there. I picked up a few coins and turn to the chuckling horse again.
“Hay Walter, here’s the rent for taking care of me last night and the room.”
I toss them over towards him. He gives me a nod and pockets them. Somehow.
Where did he stick them? Up his ass or something?
“That’s alright, besides, Vinyl was the one that took care of ya.”
I raised my eyebrows at that comment.
“Why, she seemed pretty bitchy towards me five minutes ago.”
Walter raised his own eyebrow.
“Uh, no disrespect intended.”
Walter chuckled and shook his head.
“Did you do something to annoy or offend her?”
“No,well…no, maybe.”
Walter gave me a knowing look.
“Coming from the colt with a beat up face, I’d say yes you did. From one stallion to another I say you probably should go and apologies, an angry mare can keep a grudge for longer than you can believe. And she did look after you when you passed out.”
I sighed and rubbed my face, wincing a little bit at the small throbbing of pain.
“Alright, but as a favor too you Walter, I haven’t met many horses since I got here, but I like you. You seem cool.”
Walter grunted and looked a little hurt which was confusing me.
“What, what did I say?”
“I’m a pony not a horse, geez I’m not that old yet.”
Aww crap, a horse must be an old person here, good going Toby, offend the only hor-PONY here that seems to be nice to you.
“Sorry Walter, uh, where I come from “horse” is, uh, a sign of, um, respect, yeah, we only say it to peo-PONYS that, uh, we hold in high regard.”
Walter leaned back and looked like he was pondering this.
“Hmmm, I guess it’s alright then. Just don’t make a habit of saying it when anypony is around.”
Pheew, that was a close one.
“Okay Walter, will do.”
I hurry up the stairs, hoping to avoid any more embarrassment, fate thou seemed to have other ideas because I charged right into the grey pony coming down the stairs.
“WHAAAAA”
We tumbled back down the stairs, ending up in a heap at the bottom. Walter started laughing again.
Try this weed, Jack said. Nothing would happen, he said. I swear the first thing I’m going to when I see you next is sack-wack you so hard, your grandchildren will buckle in pain.
The grey one got off me and straightened her bow-tie which had become lopsided.
“Look where you’re going, you buffoon.”
Even though I was in even more pain, I let out a snigger.
“Buffoon, really? That’s what you come out with? Geez you need to get some better material.”
She stuck her tongue out at me and walked back over to the table sitting back on her seat, ignoring the laughter.
I chuckled again as i went back the stairs; it was getting easier to walk now, so that was a plus.
I stopped outside Vinyl’s room and took a breath, then grimacing knocked twice on the door.
“Who is it?” her voice was empty of anger or dislike.
That’s probably going to change in a couple of seconds.
I hesitate then answer with “It’s me, Toby.”
The was the sound of foot-steps and the door opened revealing Vinyl head, a frown on her face and her eyes still covered by the purple shades.
“What do you want?” her voice was now gruff and hostile.
Called it. Okay, now to clean the slate.
“I, uh, I’m here to apologize.”
She raised her eyebrows at me, clearly surprised, so I continued.
“I’m sorry for calling you a bitch and a whore, it was uncalled for and you didn’t deserve it, even if you did paunch me in the face, I also wanted to thank you because Walter said you looked after me when I was out to it, so thanks. I was hoping we could maybe, start over.”
I raised my hoof like I would with a hand-shake.
Geez, I’ve already got sorta use to whole weird place, world, realm or whatever the fuck it is.
Vinyl opened her door fully and she stood there few a couple of seconds, then raised her own hoof and bumped it against mine, kinda like a bro-fist or bro-hoof in this case.
“Forget about it, I’m a big girl. So to clarify, you apologize for calling me names, but not for feeling me up?”
I try to shrug but fail so I settle on nodding.
She sighs, and rubs her temple. She then looks back up to me.
“By the way, what was Octavia talking about us being in her room?”
I burst out laughing at this point. She frowned again and looked confused
“What? What’s so funny?”
I raise a hoof weakly, trying to get my breath back.
“Sorry, gasp, she was making a crack at me not “rising” to standards and that’s why you were pissed, so to get back at her, I told her that we had done it in her room.”
I laugh again, and surprisingly, Vinyl joined in.
She moved her shades and wiped a tear away then returned them.
“You know, you might not be half-bad. Defiantly a perv and an asshole, but a cool guy.”
I pulled a mock hurt face and pointed at myself. “Moi?”
She laughed again; then she stepped through the door.
“I’m going into town, you wanna come with or stay and annoy my sister some more?”
“Urrr that’s a tough one, hmmm I properly should come and get you to show me around since I’m, uh, new in town.”
Vinyl raised her eyebrow at me as see turned back to me.
“Who said I would show you around? I’ve got stuff to do. i plan to leave you lost and alone in town, a little pay back for grabbing my ass.”
Geez, you’re still going on about that?
I walk up next to her and pull puppy dog eyes.
“Awww pwease Vinyl, don’t thrwoow mwee to the sharks.”
Vinyl stuffed a hoof in her mouth to stop laughing. After she calmed herself some, she removed her hoof and lightly smacked me upside the head.
“Alright I’ll show around, but only if you promise never to do that again.”
I mock a sad look, and do it again. She smacks me again over the head causing me and her to laugh. Then she starts walking towards the stars with me tagging along.
“You’re such an idiot.”
“Hey, hey, hey; Jack is an idiot, I’m a dick. There is a tremendous difference.”
She lifts her shades and gives me a quizzical look and stops at the top of the stairs.
“Who’s Jack?”
I smile gravely and rub my eye with a hoof.
“He’s, uh, the one that…brought me here.”
She looks at me a little frown as I said this.
“Come on, let’s get going Vinyl, we are burning daylight.”
I walk past her and down the stairs and through the now empty room to the door and wait for her.
She walks up to you, her shades covering her eyes again, and opens the door in a glow of multi-coloured lights and walks outside, with me following closely behind.
Now that I could actually see around the place without the rain and wind attacking me, this “Ponyville” looked like you’re average country town, except for the fact that it was populated with pony’s and not people and the colors were all brighter than usual. A few ponies walk past and some others wave at vinyl and you. Vinyl waved back and you just gave a nod, then she bumps into you, smiling.
“Okay bucking new colt, Ponyville 101…”
/////////////////////////
“… and this is the Everfree forest, home to the most dangerous and evil creatures, the weirdest and darkest plants and pretty much somewhere you wanna avoid at all costs.”
For the last hour and half, Vinyl has showed you all of Ponyville, pointing out certain ponies and places to go if I was hungry, bored, looking to party and places to avoid. We had talked along the way and I had earned a few more taps on the head. This forest was the last stop.
The forest didn’t look that scary, she probably just busting my bal…
CRACK
HOLY CRAP, IT’S A MONSTER AND IT HERE TO KILL ME!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!
The branches a little to the left of us started to move, I moved behind Vinyl, I wasn’t scared or anything, I just figured that it would eat Vinyl first.
A shadowy figure emerges and steps out into the light to REVEAL…..
A pony.
Ahem, I knew it was just going to be something like that. Was just getting the feel of this place, yeah that’s it.
The pony was a dark yellow mare, with moss green hair that was styled with sticks and leaves from the forest. The pony looked at us with pale pink eyes and gasped.
“Finally, thank fucking god, other peo- I mean other ponies”
Wait, this pony just said, god, fuck and I’m guessing people in the same sentence.
Vinyl frowned and walked up to the stranger.
“uhhh, are you okay, what were you doing in the forest?”
The stranger gulped and laughed nervously
“I’m fine, I, uh, was looking for my friends and got lost. I’m, uh, Pineapple Snap, nice to meet you.”
She is acting how I did when I met that ponies on the beach, this can mean only one thing.
THIS IS DOC
Because she is too timid to be Ebony, and Jacks a guy soo, that leaves Doc.
“Nice to meet you Pineapple Snap, I’m Vinyl Scratch and this is Toby.”
The mare’s eyes widen and she turns to me.
“Toby, as in Toby Stinson? DUUUUDE!!”
The mare runs up and paunches me in the shoulder.
What is it with ponies and hitting me today?
“Ouch, what the fuck?
“TOBY, its me Jack!!”
…. What. The. Fuck.
Friendship Is Salt and Vinegar
I just blanched at the yellow mare that was claiming to be my friend.
"Wait a second, Jack. As in my friend Jack? The GUY that I shared Discords Chaos with?"
The yellow mare rolled her eyes and flicked her mane around out of her eyes, like the way models flip their hair in a fashion shoot.
"Why, Am I too beautiful to be Jack?"
"In a word; Yes."
The yellow mare laughed and walked next me, wrapping a hoof around my neck, pulling me in a awkward one armed hug.
"Come on dude, it's me. The guy that helped you buy a white katana from the shops, the guy who's ass you would kick at poker and Best drinking buddy."
I was still unconvinced, Hmmm whats something only we know. After a couple of seconds an idea come to me.
"What is our Spec Ops names?"
If this is really Jack he will know th-
"Come on man that's easy. Yours is Mist Vale or Misty if its off mission, Mine Is Grizzly or Griz off mission, Doc is Zero and Ebony is Black Dynamite."
Now I believe him.
"Brother!!"
I gave him, ummm, her?, the one armed bro hug in return. "The Bro Code" certified.
Jack returns the BH and the steps back taking a seat on the grass rubbing his, crap, her hoof around the back of her head, grinning like a idiot the whole time. "Can you believe it man, we are IN Equestria!"
That's when i remembered how i was feeling about Jack and this pony world. The smile slide off my face faster then Doc was in bed, and I glared at hi- HER with very pissed off eyes. Jack seemed to notice cause his grin slowly faded.
"Ummm, you alright buddy?"
A soft cynical laugh escaped my lips as i slowly started to walk towards him, kinda like how a pedophile moves towards a toddler with a kite. Jack started backing away with a look of fear on his face.
"Am i alright? hmmm, let me think about that one."
I took a deep breath and began my reasonably worded and toned opinion about this situation.
"OF COURSE I'M NOT FUCKING ALRIGHT, YOU STUPID SACK SHIT, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS FUCKING UGLY AND YOUR SOUL IS DOG SHIT!! THIS IS THE REASON WHEN YOU WERE BORN THE DOCTOR SLAPPED YOUR MUM!! YOU GIVE ME SOME FUCKING CIA DRUG THAT CHANGED ME FROM BEING A HUMAN INTO THIS POWERPUFF WORLD WITH TALKING PONIES!! THEN YOU ASK ME IF I'M ALRIGHT!?!"
I took a moment to regain my breath, then I noticed Jack starting to stand back up after being blasted with my "opinion".
"Sit your five dollar ass down, before i make change."
Jack raised his---arrrgh fuck it-- hoofs.
"Hay buddy, calm down."
"Don't tell me to be calm ponyboy"
"Ponyboy?"
Weird now Jack's voice is changing to be more girly....but he didn't move his lips.
"Excuse me, what the buck is going on here?"
OOOOooooohhhhh shit.
I could tell from the same look Leon had the same thing had gone through his head. At the same time we both turned our heads to the left to see Vinyl, still standing there, with her shades raised and a look of confusion on her face. I gave a weak smile and squeaked,
".....It's an inside joke."
Vinyl narrowed her eyes at me and Leon, i felt a drop of sweat appear on the back of my head and Jack was sweating bullets. After a moment of heavy burning via what looked like a Sharingan technique, she lowered her shades back over her eyes.
"Okay, well i guess... that makes...sorta sense."
Aww thank Christ.
"So how do you know each other?"
DAMNIT!!
My head went blank. Jack's head on the other hand, must be filled with a lie for any situation. Without missing a beat he answered her with,
"We used to go out."
"Yeah, we used to g- WHAT!!"
I turned towards him and Jack laughed at the look on my face, i'm guessing it was somewhere between rage and embarrassment.
What the hell? Why would he say that?
"No we didn't, the fuck man?"
Jack giggled, FUCKING GIGGLED, again looked back to Vinyl.
"Okay, i was kidding, he didn't really go out,"
I sighed with relief, usually it was harder for him to stop a joke.
"Thank you"
I caught out of the corner of my eye the smallest of smirks.
"We just fucked a couple of times."
..... CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY!!!
I felt my eye twitch as quickly as the blush that appeared on Vinyls face. Slowly i turned around to face the dead man walking, only to see a patch off dust with his outline and a quickly retreating figure.
"I'M COMING FOR YOU FUCKER!!"
I hulled ass after him, having walked a lot more, i could run a lot better and quicker now. Jack probably could run longer than me but i was pretty speedy so I quickly caught up with Jack and cornered him in font of some cliff face. He looked left and right, probably looking for a way out.
"Any last words asshole?"
He smirk and nodded.
"I should never have switched from scotch to martinis."
I cracked a smile and raised my hoof to end him.
“Wait!!”
Jack and I both turn to face vinyl, who was panting and a little red in the face, probably from chasing us.
“What” we both replied in unison
“Toby you can’t hit pineapple snap”
I blinked and lowered my hoof.
“Okay if this is about the whole "you can't hit girls" bullshit then yo-”
“No, You can't hit her because of the barrier.”
“What the hell is ‘the barrier’ supposed to be?”
Vinyl caught her breath and then gave me a weird look.
“Wait you don’t know about the barrier”
“No, enlighten me”
“Well it’s the magical barrier cast by princess Celestia that stops stallions from committing a violent act against mares, but…..”
Vinyl throws a punch to my side
“Ouch” I rub my side to ease the pain
“… Mares can still beat up stallions”
“OK, firstly that's sexist. Secondly, I don’t care about some stupid barrier, and Thirdly she’s not a mare”
I throw my hoof at Jacks face, he flinches expecting pain but to both our surprises my hoof was stopped by a golden aura a mere inches away from his face.
“Told you so” Vinyl said in that manner of fact tone
My left eye twitches
“Nothing defies me”
I throw hundreds of punches to Jack's face all of them being stopped by that bloody barrier, Jack looked at the helpless me who had just given up on hitting him.
“Ha, nah nah can’t hit me” He sticks out his tongue and makes a fucking stupidly annoying face.
“I WILL KILL YOU JACK!”
Jack twists his neck and cracks it before putting up his hooves like he is trying to box then goes to hit me but I manage to put my hoof on his forehead and hold him back leaving him to angrily flail his forelegs at me. I just look at him, the rage fading away at the pathetic attempt's to give me bodily harm. I sighed and move to the left, removing my hoof at the same time. For a full second Jack stayed in the same position and then fell on his face.
"...Ouch. Asshole."
I just shrugged helped him up. Then i turn back to Vinyl and take a breath and sigh.
"Okay, time to clear a few things up. Firstly, We didn't go out OR MORE FUCKING IMPORTANTLY HAVE SEX!!, we grew up together and went to the same school since we were kids. Secondly, like me, he-"
"She" Vinyl interrupted to my annoyance and Jack's amusement.
"He, She, It, I really don't care, It doesn't have a place to stay at them moment, do you think you're dad might be cool with it crashing at the club?"
Vinyl rubbed her chin as she thought, i couldn't tell what though, due to her shades.
"I don't know, you will have to talk to him yourself. Now that, whatever this was, is over, i need to get the shopping done. We need to stop at the grocery shopping and then I want to get some new headphones, the pony hoofers x12 are out and I want them.”
I give her a mock bow and said in my most charming voice "after you malady."
She just smirks and starts walking away with Jack and me following her.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
It wasn't a far walk so I was happy, we stopped by several vendors and pick up all sorts of different items and vinyl places them in a saddle bag she loaned to me, the bag getting heavier and heavier by the moment. I stole a glance at Jack, who at the moment was socializing with some ponies at a flower store. I noticed he seemed to be making an impression cause some of stallions that walk past would stop and try to talk to him.
Hehe, if only they knew he was a guy.
Vinyl turns to face me
“OK now to the music store”
I called Jack over, watching wave goodbye to the ponies and catch up with us.
We walk to the music store and I had to pick up the pace to keep up with vinyl as we got closer to the music store we finally get to our destination, I browse the shelves with the different artists, most of my favorites where there too, they had van hayling, hay c/dc and Alice hoofer.
Truly something’s are universal
I looked over and saw Jack looking at a "Griffin City" Album and i just rolled my eyes.
He has no sense of music.
Shortly after vinyl returned with her new headphones in her saddlebag
“OK we can go now”
I raise an eyebrow at her.
"So are you gonna show me what they look like one you?"
"They are headphones, not a bucking bikini top, they all look the same. Anyway we should probably head back Toby.”
“Yeah alright, you coming Jack.”
“Sure, wait up Toby”
After a couple more minutes of walking we finally made it back to the club.
Walter greeted us with his cool, yet somehow still classy nod and Octavia simply stared at Jack.
“Who’s the new girl vinyl… wait are you planning a three way.”
To which me and Vinyl reply in unison before Jack could open his grinning mouth.
“NO”
“Ha ha, just messing with you vinyl”
I shook my head at both Octavia and the dirty grin that was plastered on Leon's face.
Better introduce him before he says something stupid.
"This, Octavia for your information, Is..... Pineapple Snap,"
I chuckled a little at the name which got me a dirty look from Leon.
"But he also answers to Jack, more Jack then pinapple."
Walter nodded and introduced himself and Octavia introduced herself a lot nicer then she had to me.
“So Pineapple, where are you from”
UH-oh
Jack smiled and turned to me with a cool air but I could see the worry and fear in his eye.
“Um Toby where did you say where we are from”
Before i could say anything Walter decides now was the perfect time to add his 2 cents.
“Actually he hasn't said either”
WARNING: PANIC BUTTON PRESSED, PLEASE BE ADVISED CERTAIN DEATH IMITATE!!
“Um we’re from, um Los Pegasus, we’re um, Traveling Musicians, Toby does the music and I'm bartender Speaking of which, Nice diggs.”
please buy it, please buy it
Walter stared at us for a few seconds causing my insides to wriggle.
“oh that’s pretty cool and thanks, I've run it myself for years.”
YESS HE BOUGHT IT, good job Leon's brain
Octavia then started chatting with Jackfor a bit, a fact i noticed he at first loved but as the conversation was solely on classical music and herself, it started to take it's toll on him. Then she asked the question i was wondering how to ask Walter.
“So Pineapple, where are you ponies staying “
“Well, I don’t actually have a place to stay yet.”
“Well why don’t you stay here, until you find a place to stay.”
“Yeah that would be cool” I said trying to hold back a smile
Vinyl nodded in agreement.
“Ok well the house is pretty full so pineapple you can stay in octy’s room and Toby you can crash on the sofa bed in my room”
“Sounds good to me” I look around and see Walter giving me a stare that said any funny business and you’re dead
“well its getting dark out so pineapple I’ll show you where my room is.”
Octavia lead Jack to her room and when they returned a couple of minutes later, Walter had gone to the kitchen and finished making dinner, we sat around and talked about trivial matters, time went by and eventually Walter came back with dinner and served it on the table, we sat around and ate our vegetable soup.
Walter finished first followed by Jack, Vinyl, me and lastly Octavia.
“That was great, thanks Walter”
I mean it was great although I do wish there was some meat
“No problem kid”
I let out a massive yawn and vinyl laughs
“A little tired are we” vinyl teased
“Yeah probably from carrying all your stuff”
“All right let’s get some sleep, tomorrow the club opens again and we have to get it ready”
“Sure, sounds like fun”, the sarcasm was almost pouring out of my mouth
“Come on, Pineapple, we can stay up all night and talk”
Jackhad a look of please for the love of god SAVE ME mixed in with some happiness plastered on his face and I could not help but laugh at the sight, the four of us head up stairs and into our respective rooms, i look around in vinyls room and try spot the couch.
“I take it that this sofa bed is either imaginary or under trash mountain.”
“Sofa bed, what are you… Oh that, there’s no sofa bed in my room. You can crash with me.”
“Oh so you enjoyed my hoof on your flank” I said with I mischievous smile
“No! I just didn’t want you to sleep on the couch, it’s… um… Bad for your back posture?”
I raise my eye brow.
I have no idea I even had those.
“Right sure, my back posture”
“Shut-up and get in, and no cuddling or getting close, you cross this line and your dead”
She draws an imaginary line through the middle of the bed to prove her point, I climb onto the other side of the bed and she gets on hers.
“Goodnight vinyl” I said in the most seductive voice I can manage.
“Shut-up and sleep.”
////////////
With Jack
///////////
As me and Octavia walked towards her room, a whirl of emotions were raging inside of me. On one hand I was in Equestria, every brony i know would do unspeakable things to be given the chance to be where me and Toby are right now, so i'm happy, no, Over-joyed!! But on the other hand, My friends may be anywhere in this world with no way to know where the hell they are and no idea how to get ho- HELLLLOOOO Octavia plot.
I shake my head rapidly, trying to keep on my train of thought on it's tracks. Octavia lead me to a door and opened it up then walked inside. Looking around the room, i could see it was nicely furnished and a decent size. Octavia had a nice taste in decoration as well. Her walls were a Light-cream color with a Lavender feature wall, decorated with a painting with what looked a ship-wreck in the fire of a sunset that really complemented the purple. The curtains were open to the night sky and were a bronze brown color. Her cello case was sitting in the corner next a stool and bookcase filled with books and what looked like music sheets. Her bed was on the other-side of the room and much to my dwaaa factor she a little plushie of a griffon.
This is Octavia's ROOM....and i'm IN in it. Why can't i hold all my feels?
My attention was drawn to the mare in question opening a closet i'd missed in my initial look around, and started pulling out some light pink socks. Octavia looked over her shoulder at me and noticed my curious gaze and her eyes seem to harden a little.
"I usually wear socks to bed to keep my hooves warm, and NO i don't have a fetish before you ask, it just helps.
I chuckled at the last part of her statement, causing a little frown of either annoyance or confusion to appear on Octavia's forehead, i really didn't know which.
"I wouldn't care if you did have a sock fetish, it's not weird to me. I have heard of a lot more weirder fetish then that like for example S and M, or role-playing...or even bondage, oh wait thats the "B" in BMS so i guess that to, whoa is it me or is it hot in here?."
I didn't mean too, but as i said each one of them to Octavia, my brain decided to get horny and showed me images in my mind of each of the acts causing a little warmth to grow in my face and..um.."new" parts. I let out a small gasp of lust as the images faded before noticing Octavia looking at me with a small blush on her face.
"What?"
"You, um, have some strange satisfactions. I don't even know what this "S&M" is."
I chuckled awkwardly and rubbed the back of my head and messing with my mane abit.
It's so cool that i can say that.
"I'll explain another time. but anyway as i was saying, wearing sock to bed isn't the a fetish, if anything it's cute to me."
"Do you want a pair as well?"
"...sure, why not."
Octavia looked back in and pulled a pair of blue and grey striped socks and chucked to me. I tried to catch them with my mouth, as I had seen that it was possible in the show to do, but they bounced off my muzzle and and i had to grab them with my hoof and put them on. Once i had i could see what she meant. It wasn't a particularly cold night but it felt like when you lie in bed with the blanket covering only you feet and yet the rest of you is still warm. It was a nice feeling.
I looked around the room again and then noticed a small flaw.
"Um, do you have a blow up mattress or a sleeping bag i can use?"
Octavia, who had just put on her socks and was looking cuter then a pouty bat face, looked over with confusion.
"I don't have a extra mattress, so you'er going to sleep with me in my bed."
Now In my group, next to Toby, i have the dirtiest mind, so when i heard her say that i let out my trademark action for when i had taken something sweet and innocent and corrupted it. I let out a spit take of breath then cover my mouth with my ha..hoof and smirked. I think i might have blushed a little red involuntarily as well. All of this was of course noticed by Octavia and she raised an eyebrow at my antics. I coughed and cleared my throat then trotted over to her bed.
"I dibs right side."
"why?"
"Because it's the Right side."
"...um, okay"
We hopped into the bed and chatted for a while about things and each other. I learned that Octavia had no luck with love, never having a stallion or marefriend, enjoyed the beach, hates her sisters music but i guess the feelings mutual with me too, not a hate more of an.... picky liking, some i like, others not so much. She told me some funny stories about her friends and her sister, mostly bad or funny things HAPPENING to her sister. She asked me about myself and i answered her questions to the best of my ability, trying not tell her about earth or humans. I had to avoid some questions like why me and Tob's don't have cutie marks. We talked for a great long time before deciding to go to sleep.
"Good night Octavia"
"Good night Pineapple"
"Octavia please call me Jack."
"But it's a stallions name?"
"So what."
"Alright, Good night Jack."
SQQUEEEEEEEEEEEE
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
///////////////////////////////////////
The next morning I wake up to find Octavia had already woken and left. I growl at the sunlight that was sneakily slipping through the one crack in the curtains to attack my eyes. It's probably for the best anyway, i'd sleep till four in the afternoon if i'm left too. I slip out of the bed, stretching all four of my hooves making a sound that was a mash of a gorilla's growl and Gollum having an orgasm.
At least i had a bed, last night and not a bed made of flowers, arggh i can still feel the bloody thorns.
I look back to the bed and saw it was a mess on the right side and somehow nice and tidy on the left. After a moment i made my side of the bed, partially out of kindness and majorly because i would feel guilty if i didn't now that i had noticed. Satisfied i walked out of the room, shutting the door with my tail, now that was a weird feeling, akin to having a second... um actually never mind. As i walked past Vinyls room I paused with a small grin. Placing an ear to the door, I heard a pair of breathing and slight snoring. Grinning wider i slowly opened the door to find Vinyl and Toby sleeping side by side.
So much for a "Sofa Bed". Hang-on, hmmmm.
An wild idea has appeared.
Sneaking closer to the bed i reached out with my mouth to one of Tob's wings and gently grasp on one his feathers. I Paused for a second the yanked quickly. His face scrunched up in pain for a few seconds while my heart hammered, hoping that he wouldn't wake up. He then mumbled and rolled over onto his back, rubbing his stomach then sighing and then started snoring again. I internally sighed with relief, then i turned my attention to vinyl.
"What are you doing?"
The whisper that came from behind me nearly gave me a heart attack and bowel moment at the same time. Turning around I saw Octavia standing there with a bemused look. I motioned for her to get closer but quietly. When she was next to me I turned back to Vinyl and slowly tickled her left side then quickly retracted. Vinyl mumbled and rubbed the spot. Slowly I tickled the spot again, but this time for a second longer and i was rewarded with my plan coming together. Vinyl rolled over onto Toby cuddling into him and burying her muzzle into his mane. Toby then responded in his sleep by hugging her in return.
Oh yeah, wing-man of the year, RIGHT HERE!!
Motioning for a giggling Octavia to follow, we stealthy left the room. As we left i grabbed the door-knob and pulled it a little harder then normal making a loud bang sound. Then me and Octavia put our ears to the door and heard the moaning of someone waking up.
......
.........
............
“YOU BASTARD, YOU CROSSED OVER ONTO MY SIDE OF THE BED”
Both me and Octavia stuffed our mouths with our hooves to stop from laughing. Toby obviously was awake now cause his voice followed sleepy and amused.
“Um vinyl you might want to check which side of the bed you’re on”
there was a beat of silence then another shout;
“Shut-up it’s my bed I get full access!”
My trademark came into play as I imagined a whole other way of taking that. Apparently so did Toby.
“Um full access huh, oh vinyl you might want to rephrase that.”
"S-SHUT UP, before i give you a mouth full."
Tears are now forming in my eyes and I had to bit down even harder to keep silent. Octavia was on the ground having silently collapsed with laughter. I calmed myself just in time to hear Vinyl yell out,
"NO I'M NOT BEING DIRTY, SHUT UP OR,OR I'LL BUCK YOU INTO NEXT WEEK!!"
"You already tried that when i touched your ass yesterday."
I lost it....but not as much as Octavia.
I collapsed against the door and door-knob accidentally opening it, landing on my side tears streaming down my face as i pound the floor with my hooves, I noticed Vinyls angry red-streaked face and Tobys look of exasperation which only fueled my laughter. A laughter that was cut off by a WHUMP,THUMP,THUMP, BUMP, BANNNG.
The other two rushed past me as i weakly tried to get up, following i found the source was somepony that had fallen down the stairs from laughing to hard. You could almost see the stars circling Octavia's head as her eyes span slowly in her head.
Walter opened the door and nearly tripped over her. He looked down at her then up at us.
"What's going on here?"
All three of us looked at each other and came to the same answer.
"Nothing."
"Nothing."
"Hangover."
well, I thought that was the best excuse.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
Now explaining what happened to Octavia's dad was easy enough, sometimes the truth will actually work, what was hard was ignoring my skull heating to a supernova from the glares I was getting from a certain white unicorn and a black Pegasus. It was as subtle as a rhino wearing a tutu. Now, I don't think Toby was annoyed about me making Vinyl huge and nuzzle him, I mean who wouldn't want to wake up holding a chick, he probably was pissed because Vinyl was pissed at him because of me.
After Vinyl wrapped up Octavia's head with a bandage to cover the bump that was transforming her into a unicorn, Walter came down and handed out the chores and jobs to get the club ready for tonight. I don't wanna sound paranoid but I have the suspicion he gave me the floor and bathroom cleaning jobs simply to spite me. Oh well, he is letting me, a stranger, into his home and stay with one of his daughters rooms, and giving me some work for the moment. So I cant complain much, well at least to him.
"Awww this sucks Tavy. The floor doesn't even look dirty, there is only a few spills and none of them really noticeable. Why does your dad hate me, I'm a nice person, I not asking to sit around and watch I just wanna-"
"BREAK TIME!!"
"Really already? I had wanted to get this finished but I guess it could wait."
Octavia giggled at my antics as we put down the mops and brushes and walked towards the exit of the bathroom.
I kept an eye on her, just in case she was concussed or something. I didn't want her collapsing or nothing on my ass. Walter would have my ass out of here faster then jew in a sauna.
I widen my eyes at the last thought then close them and lowered my head out of shear shame.
wow, that was terrible even for me, I need to track my mind better, or at least a distraction. But what could be an interestin-"
Pomf
My face struck something soft and something that felt like a scarf wrapped itself around my neck.
And oh god was it soft.
"What the fuck?'
But what I heard was "Werrt taaa Faaak" followed by a small squeak of maybe embarrassment.
I opened my eyes and saw I had run into Octavia's flank. I splattered for a second, but it sounded as though I had done a raspberry. Another gasp was hear but my mind wasn't thinking normally, so I didn't even pay attention. For a second I stared at it, my eyes wide with shock and a little lust, not much, the kind that was acceptable for this situation. The my head started process actual thoughts and not dirty fantasies and I removed my head from her flank and turned to a red faced, bandaged pony that look like she was going to die right then and there.
The silence that ensured was killing.
"....um, apparently that happened, sooo I'm going to suggest we don't talk about it and pretend it didn't."
Octavia, still red faced and embarrassed nodded a little frantically.
We stood there for another minute then I walked out of the bathroom, trying to get away from the atmosphere. I don't handle awkward silences well. But on the up side, I got my distraction. And I have to say.
A sly grin crossed my face at this moment
If I get it back, I would bury my dick so far up that ass, the one to pull it out would be crowned the new king Arthur.
"What ya thinking about?"
"Who king Arthur will be."
"What?"
Now I realize that I had made it to the table and that Walter was asking me a question. Vinyl was giving me a confused look, well I'm guess cause she still has those shades on and Toby was for some reason wearing what looked like Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect eye ridicule that wrapped around his ear and covered one eye with a light green screen.
hehe I can rhyme
"Umm, nothing. You had to be there. So what's with the eye contact Tob's?"
Toby grinned and fiddled with it as he answered my question.
"It's a beat tracker and voice synthesizer, it allows me to see where the next beat needs to be, or what pitch needs to go up and down or if it needs a little more power and then it also lets me change the pitch, tone and volume of my voice. Vinyl found it lying around in her room from her earlier years, when she was young and talented."
"Yeah, keep talking, i'll wipe the smug grin off your face tonight."
Insert my trademark here.
Toby noticed this and explained.
"We had an argument about music so we are having a DJ-off tonight when the club opens. Walter has given it the okay as well. The winner get to make the loser what ever they want for a full day. Well, besides anything dirty."
Vinyl, who was stealing Toby's sandwich will he was explaining the bet to me, then sat up and looked over to me.
"Hay, do you wanna judge the winner?"
I raised my eyes in surprise at the offer, wasn't she worried i'd simply make Toby the winner. When I voiced my question she waved it off like she wasn't. Oh well. Her Problem
"Do you like dubstep?"
"Not particularly, some of them."
"well then, you and Octavia will be perfect judges."
"I don't know, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart."
Toby rolled his eyes and put his towards Vinyl, as if to say "Let me try".
"How about this, you do it and you can do a song of your own."
Hmmm, intriguing.
I rubbed my chin and asked if It could be whatever I wanted and if I could dress up, as long as I supplied my attire and the song. Toby and Vinyl chatted to each other and then to Walter and then nodded in agreement.
A huge grin spread across my face as I filled through my mental list of songs. I was somewhere between "Candyland" and "Around The World" when Octavia arrived at the table. She seemed to have recovered her composer since our little "bump" into each other. She flatly refused being a judge with a fold of her hooves and a frown on her face. She eventually agreed to being a judge after five minutes of Vinyl poking her and asking with each poke.
After lunch I asked if I could borrow some bits to get my costume for my song. Walter left and came back with a small bag of them telling me i'd be working to get them back to him. Fair enough, I had planned to get them back to him. I asked if there was a tailor or somewhere to get things like costumes, even though I knew about Rarity, I didn't want them to get suspicious that I knew her or the main six when I only just got here. I was surprised when Octavia suggested some place called "Leather & Lace". Vinyl and Walter cracked up laughing at the suggestion and Octavia grinned slyly. I thought about it then agreed simply cause I had chosen my song and if the name was something to go by, it sounded perfect. Plus it wiped the grins off everyone's face and that always feels good.
After some directions, that had to be repeated three times before I had some idea where to go, a saddle bag and my bits, I was off.
I think it was about 1:10 so the sun was staring to drop from directly above me to behind me. Ponies were walking by themselves or in groups of two, maybe three. There was Bon Bon and Lyra walking and talking with some zebra that looked a little irritated, ponies I didn't even know saying hello as I passed, which I replied to cause I'm only going to be here once so, better make the most of it. Sugarcube Corner was just as the show portrayed it, all gingerbread and frosting and as much as I wanted to go in, I remembered I a little rule about the universe. Don't go into houses made of candy. Cause bad shit happens.
"Not always. This house is very FUN."
I stiffened when I heard that voice. Simply because it was THAT voice. and maybe a little to the fact that the voice was answering something that I thought. In all honesty I should have seen this coming but as I slowly turned my head I was greeted by the bane of the 4th wall. HER.
"Hiiiiimynamespinkiepieiworkheresoiknowitsareallyfunplacewaitareyounewohmycelestiayouranewpony."
All I had made out of that was "Pinkie Pie and new pony", and before I could explain that I had being here for a day already, she was gone in a flash of pink and excitement.
"Dear god, what have I unleashed?"
Feeling somewhat afraid of the repercussions of this simple meeting, I traveled down the road, taking a left....then a right.....then another left into a dead end.
"Fuuck, where am I?"
Looking around I spotted Lotus walking with a bag of what seemed to be groceries. Awesome, the twins where my favourite BC's besides Octavia and Derpy*. I quickly called out to get her attention as I hurried over.
"Excuse me!!"
She turned and putt down her shopping to answer me.
"Yes, can I help you?"
I was slightly disappointed at the lack of an accent but I didn't let it show.
"Um, I'm kinda lost, would you happen to know where "Leather & Lace" is?"
She seemed taken back, then she blushed and avoided eye contact with me.
Yep, this shop Is defiantly going to work.
Lotus shuffled her hoof out of maybe nervousness or maybe embarrassment, probably the latter if the shop was what I thought and was hoping it to be.
"Ahhh,um, Ahem, well not personally, I mean, my sister has been known to frequent there but I, ah, I've never been to it."
"Would you mind if I tagged along and asked your sister some directions?"
"not,not at all, um, if you, um follow me."
She reaches for her bag again but I quickly grab it and tie it to my saddle bag.
"Here, i'll take this for ya, the lest I can do since your helping me out."
She looks at me with surprise, then rewards me with a small smile which felt awesome.
As we walked I had to adjust a little due to the extra load but after a few minutes I was all good.
I looked over and smile realizing I hadn't introduced myself yet.
"Oh, by the way i'm Jack. It's nice to meet you..."
I knew her name but like Rarity's shop I didn't want to freak her out, so I left the question hanging to let her supply it.
"Lotus, my name is Lotus."
"Hmm, pretty name for a pretty pony."
She faltered a step and blushed again, giving me a quick confused and awkward look, she probably thought I was coming on to her or something. Okay in my defense I've always been a bit of a flirt. Simple because it was fun. But if it became serious, I am actually quite shy. Go figure cause I sure as hell can't
"Relax Lotus, I'm just teasing."
She visibly relaxed and a small laugh escaped her along with a smaller smile.
"You and my sister are going to get along."
I raised my eyebrow with a "Oh? Are we?" to which Lotus nodded.
"What's you sisters name?"
"Aloe, and word of warning, she is the cruder one of us."
I grinned widely. "Sounds like a nice pony to meet."
The rest of the journey to the spa was filled with small talk and when we arrived she opened the door so I could go first, to which I replied with a thanks.
Aloe was sitting in the reception desk going through some files when I called out her name.
"Do I know you?"
Hmmm, if she is the cruder one, then this should be fun.
I gave her my best attempt at bedroom eyes and answered
"Do you watch porn?"
Man I hope that's the same thing here.
I heard a gasp behind me, and watched as Aloe eyes widen and then she smiled mischievously.
"Oh yeaaah, now I remember, I saw you a couple of nights ago. Your the one that specializes in three-ways and cross-species."
Yep, its the same and yes I like this one.
Grinning wider I gave a small bow and walked slowly over to her around the desk, trying to be as seductive as I could.
I heard a whispered "dear celestia, there is two of them" coming from Lotuses direction.
"Yep, that's me. So did ya like what you saw or did ya want to teach me a thing or two?"
Now she had bedroom eyes and she licked her lips slowly as she hopped of the seat and slowly walked towards me.
"Well I don't like to brag but I reckon I could show you what a spa pony can do to blow your mind and maybe a few other places."
We were now just a couple of inches apart and looking at each other with eyes that would make a guy harder than a pine tree. We stayed that way for a minute then at the same time burst out laughing, leaning on each other to keep on standing. After a couple of minutes we both calm down and introduce ourselves. We chatted about the spa and apparently the sisters ran the most sought after treatments in Equestria and had been offered to work in Canterlot but had turned it down cause the country-town feel had reminded them of home.
Huh, That's something I could put into a fiction at home.
"Well, it was nice too meet you two, i'd better be going, I don't know when this guuuyhhh-stallion closes, so i'd better move it. I'll drop in again sometime thou."
We parted ways, one of us relieved while the other two were happy to have found someone else this fun. Two guesses who is who.
Armed with Aloe's Illustrated map, I quickly arrived at this "Leather and Lace", and it was as every bit as awesome as I had imagined.
No surprises why this didn't make it to the show.
I noticed a little something in the window and my eyes lit up like the forth of july....nah, but there was a large amount of excitement. I had to change my theme song but the song I thought of suddenly and oddly was perfect and if done right could still be sexy. So with my bag of bits and a spring in my step I entered the Smexy shop.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Wow, I was in there longer then I meant to."
Night had fallen and I had just arrived back at the club with my purchases, there was another little thing I saw and HAD to have. The front door was guarded by some purple peguses that looked pretty tough and had "The List" out in font of him. I could hear the starting's of a song from inside, something that made me smile as it was appropriate.
Who is this dick head?
Luckily he must've been warned about me, cause he waved me in without any hassel. I entered the club just as the first Bass was amplified to such an extant nearly air cannoned my back out. I looked up at Vinyl and Toby at the turntable booth and smiled.
Yeah, tonight is gonna be fun. One way or another.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Earlier that day
"Okay Roadblock, she is about this tall, she is yellow with green hair and probably has shopping with her, when you see her just let her through. She is part the band."
"OKAYYY!'
"....just to be clear, she is THIS tall, she is yellow with green hair and probably has shopping with her. Let her through first. She is part of the band.
"I've got it, I had it the second time you told me, I had it the seventh time and I had it the sixteenth time you told me. Here let me tell it back to you. She is about this tall, she is bucking yellow with green hair and probably will have shopping with her, when I see her, just let her through. She is part the band. I KNOW IT."
".......I'm not convinced. She is-"
'Toby!! we need to get ready!"
I looked up and away from the fuming peguses to see Vinyl leaning out the window from her room looking down at me. Giving her a nod I looked back at Roadblock. I had been deliberately trying to piss this guy off for the last ten minutes and I was just beginning to think he wasn't going to crack when he let slip that little outburst. I had won. Giving him a smirk and nod I turned back and head into the club. It was getting dark now, the club would be open in twenty minutes and all there left to do was to get dressed get the music set up to go.
Walter and Octavia were chatting over the bar will they waited for the club to be officially open, since Walter was bar tending and Octavia was dish-bitch, a name she has come to loath since I thought of it, they were going to be busy. I walk up the stairs and into Vinyl's room to grab my visor. Avoiding all the crap on the ground I walked over to the bed and grabbed it and maneuvered it to sit probably around my ear and eye. Once It was sitting comfortably, I flicked the little switch to get it running. As it slowly came alive I thought back to the explanation of technology in Equestria.
So, apart from musical and entertainment purposes, technology is pretty shit here?
Well, kind of. I mean, we have magic so technology is not really need for much. Only the things that we cant create fully with magic, or don't grow we usually do with out. This common knowledge, didn't you learn this in school?
Pffft I barely learnt the teachers name.
Right... so yeah that how it is. You lucky I'm letting you use this thing, it's pretty uncommon to see these things.
System Activating
Hello Dj Pon-3
Welcome Back
A synthesised voice interrupted my train of thought. The visor lit up in front of my eye slightly blinding me a little at first, but that quickly passed. Fiddling with the visor I managed to get it to stop calling me Dj Pon-3 and switched it to Ba55Cannon.
"Okay Sheila, have you saved the play-list I saved into the your memory bank?"
Yes I have. The records are saved and ready for use.
"Great, can you play one of the songs through your speakers for me please."
Certainly.
Smiling smugly I listened to the sound, the rise and fall of the beat, the bass rising slowly with each of my heart beats. Rising my hoofs....
Wow, I guess I'm sorta used to it now.
...higher and higher until I feel the shift and the bass drops. An my hooves and head follow. Listening for a few minutes I realise is still need to get my hair and attire awesome. I headed into hallway and down to the bathroom, bobbing my head in time with the blasts of tech-magic and walked in. Narrowing my eyes at the steam in the air I made my way to the mirror and looked into it, well after I wiped the layer of film and condensation that clung to it. I styled my head to look awesome, not an easy task when the air was full of mist.
Why is there all of this steam?
Looking around I spot the source....the shower.
Steam was billowing out of the top of the it and I could see the silhouette of someone...
Okay, not fully yet.
...Washing themselves, bouncing there heads as if they were listening to music.
Not daring to take my eyes off the shower I fumbled with the headset until it muted. As the silence from the techno-gizmo stop I heard what it had been covering. And it was priceless.
"If you wanna party let me hear you yell. Cuz we got it goin' on again. Yeah"
The figure did a little shake in the shower, flipping its hair and ass around as it sings, not that greatly but still singing, one of the most embarrassing songs to be caught singing to.
......God, I love you and I know you want me to be happy.
"Am I original?"
Okay I have to do this.
" Yeah"
" Am I the only one?"
"Yeah"
" Am I sexual?"
" Yeah"
"Am I everything you need, wait what the buck?
The water stops and I had maybe four second to bail. I only needed two. With the door shut behind me I heard steps on the ground and some humming so I figured that I was in the clear. I sighed and turned to head towards the stairs and what I saw made me froze. Octavia was standing not three feet away from me with the biggest shit-grin I had ever seen.
"What were you doing in the bathroom with Vinyl?"
The fact she said it in a sweet kind voice made it all the more reason to know she was not going to be gentle. So I did what the honest and morally correct thing to do was.....
.....lie through my teeth.
"I brought Vinyl her towel, she uhh, didn't want to walk out naked."
Octavia raised an eyebrow and I felt a small bead of sweat run down my face.
"Well, I'm sure she appreciates it. Wouldn't want her to feel naked now would we?"
I chuckled nervously and agreed then slipped past her and into Vinyls room. I flopped onto Vinyls bed and look up at the roof. Thoughts of home stated to float back to me and about how we haven't seen or heard if Doc or Eb was okay. I had no idea how or when we were going to be able to go back. Leon seem content to stay as long as we are here. Then again he probably hasn't even thought about yet. Still in a high.
I shook my head and stretched my hooves then paused at a strange sensation from my sides. After a quick check I discovered my wings were stretching as well. I try and give them a flap but to no avail. With a sigh I spend the next few minutes trying to fold them back down. I didn't help when Vinyl walked in with her still wet and said something about a "Wing-Boner".
That was grounds for execution in my book. The fuck is a "wing-boner" anyway? They aren't attached to my dick. So I commented on the penis on her forehead and she countered with my hygiene, my hooves smell and my dick is small.
The classics.
It was thanks to Walter timely arrival that prevented any more ego stabbing to let us know that the club was about to open so we should head downstairs.
So after the quick sound check by Vinyl the crowd started to come in and soon the place was filled to a comfortable number. Vinyl then proceeded to start out with a song that seem appropriate
"Welcome to the club everypony!"
The crowd on the dance floor cheered when Vinyl addressed them and started to bop around to the music in various degrees of cool dancing to somepony that looked like they were having a stroke. As the first bass drop was approaching I noticed a certain yellow mare walk into the club. Target locked. With a wicked grin I placed my hooves under the dials for the sound and bass controls. Just it dropped the first bass I slammed them to full sending a sound wave out that knocked him back a bit much to my delight, would have preferred him falling on his ass but I'll take it.
He smiled up at us and shook his head then slipped past the ponies dancing great or terrible, there seemed to be no middle ground, and then upstairs. I smiled and wondered what he had managed to snag while he was out today.
"okay tough guy are you ready to lose?"
"hehe, I don't Vinyl. I was just about to ask you the same thing."
We both gave a cocky look to each other then announced the competition to the crowd.
"Okay everypony, Listen up we got ourselves a hot shot who thinks his beats don't fizzle. Well what do ya say to that?"
A chorus of boo's and cheers followed her call, I just rolled my eyes not really giving a fuck.
"Yeah, that's what I thought as well, but as the awesome and generous pony I am, I decided to give the guy a chance. SO. This is what's going down, there will be three rounds. The first is Dub-step, second is Assisted and third is free choice. Cheer as loud as you can for the Dj that you like the most an the winner is the one who can sway the crowd and impress the judges hidden in the crowd as well."
The cheers were deafening and I just smiled at the pressure that was being laid on me. It would make my win that much more satisfying. I stepped down from the turn table to allow her full use of it.
"Well Vinyl, ladies first."
She smirk and then started her rip.
With her magic she quickly flipped a different controls and started pumping out a tune that started pretty quickly. I felt the headset fly off my head in a glow of sapphire and get plugged into the board. At certain points she started to talk into the head set, but her voice was distorted and higher in pitch.
Hehe, she sounds like some Nightcore shit voice.
A sudden pink blur appeared next to Vinyl as some random pony popped up from under turntable....somehow even thought it was flat at the bottom.
"WEEEEEE, LETS GO"
Holy shit that her normal voice?
I blinked and then she was gone as quickly as she arrived.
Who the hell was that?
No one else seemed to care so I just let it go. Vinyl was doing very well, she finished her track and the crowd cheered loudly. A little too loudly in my opinion but whatever.
She walked past me to let me up with a huge shit-eating grin, I quickly nab the headset as I pass.
"Okay tob's, lets show these ponies what magic really is."
It had been difficult at first but under the lie that her model was different to my old ones, vinyl had given a quick run down on her little treasure earlier that day, and I had quickly learned how to operate it with my new "Hands". I had whipped together a little piece from memory of some of the better songs that were dubsteped and saved them into the drive of the thing. And now it was time to unleash the beats.
"Okay everyone Lets fucking do this!"
The crowd cheered as I started and I suddenly felt unstoppable. Well more then usual.
I didn't even have to think as I worked, spitting out some lyrics as I worked on the beats, I just did it.
All to soon my song had come to a close and I finished.
"HAY, HAY WHAT DO YA THINK?"
The crowd screamed and stomped their hooves in response. Looking over at vinyl to see her un-amused face told me I was pretty good. Naturally.
She walked back into the spot light of the turntable.
"Okay, that's it for round 1. Who won? Hot stuff over here?..."
The crowd cheered and stomped their hooves quite loudly. Not as loud as I would like but still a noise.
"Okay, kay not bad and what about moi?"
...I think a window just broke....yeah she had won the first round somehow. I call favouritism.
She turned back to me with another wide grin that clearly said "Suck on that".
"Oh-oh looks like you down one newby. Now onto the assisted round. OCTAVIA!! I NEED YOU!!"
In hindsight I should have kept my mouth shut.
"Wow never thought you all for incest."
S.I.L.E.N.C.E
"What..the..buck dude. Just no."
Octavia walked in from upstairs carrying her cello case on her back. Wading through the crowd of ponies she stepped up to the stage and opened the case next to the table and pulled it out. Sitting down on the small stool she then looked at Vinyl expectedly, almost as if waiting for something. As it turned out she was, vinyl turned and with her magic levitated a small chord that connected into the table and plugged into the side of Octavia's cello.
This mustn't be the first time they've done this.
Turning back to the crowd she grins her smirk and that seemed to be the signal for Octavia for she started to play.
It was a very quick sounding pieace, one that would not be mistaken with a battle scene but with viynl in the background it made i that much more blood-pumping.
I got to hand it to dish-bitch, she can play the hell out of...wait, i dont have a partner for this battle....fuck.
Octavia had back off and now was letting Vinyl do most of the work for the moment and she was doing well. All the the chaos of ponies a the bopped, moved and danced the music was a sight to see. Me on the other hand was now panicing about how i was going to pull this off without a partner and as Octavia brought the ending i saw Vinyl giving me a smug grin again.
No can't let her think im off my game.
I returned her grin with on of my own, not that i had anything to back it up with. Octavia simply packup her equpiment as the club members cheered and screamed for more.
"SO EVERYPONY, WHAT's THIS I HEAR? DO YOU WANT MORE?"
The chours of "Yes" was enough to send another bead of sweat down my back.
"WELL OKAY, HERE IS THE HOTSHOT WITH HIS PARTNER, OH I'M SORRY, WHERE IS YOUR PARTNER!?"
All eyes were now on me.
Shit...
A moment of silence was making itself known. Some asshole in the back jeered about being forever alone.
"Ima coming, Ima coming just a sec."
The voice rang out over the crickets that had started to sound and make it awkward. Okay this is one of the time where Jack reminds me he is my friend. I turn to see him parting through the crowd with a case on his back.
OH THANK CHRIST....wait since when does he play an intrument.
As Jack hops up onto the stage after flailing a little at its height and his height he motioned Octavia to move from the stool, ignoring two sets of dumb-struck and one suspicious look. He pulls out a violin and i heard Octavia gasp. He looked up and then over to me. "Make sure to play something a little slower but heavier, okay dude."
Where the hell did he get that vil- Okay, I'm just going to go with this.
I give him a smug smile and nod and he returns it with a wink and then turns his attention to the crowd, pulling the microphone closer to him as he rests the violin against his chin and closes his eyes with a small smile. I turn back to the crowd and let my hooves move to my instincts.
Okay tob's, lets get this going.
I start with just a small repeat of little bleeps at a rapid speed too which Leon then slides in a little to get the feel of the song. Neither of us had rehearsed this so instinct was going to be a big thing, so hoping to any god or devil that would take pity on us that is was going to be awesome, I start Letting out some bigger drops and changes to the song.
Jacks head jerks the slightest and then he joins in with a sound that was soft and sweet to me, I didn't know much of classical music so I couldn't make a judgment, but it sounded good to me and judging by the cheers from the crowd they did too.
As we play we both make a point of not over turning the other, rather helping each other out. I handled the slow and heavy music and he was doing quick and precise movements with his bow. How he moved it that fast was beyond me but I guess all those hours masturbating must have done him some good.
It was going awesomely the whole way through that I knew we had this one in the bag. That was until the last note when he jerked violently to the left screeching the last note.
God damn it man. SO close.
