An Electronic Attraction

The entire morning, Vinyl was teaching me what you do in a friendship. Spend time together, learn things about each other, buy things for each other, and learn life lessons.

“You’ve already been doing the first step. We’ve been doing nothing but spend time together since I showed up. Now, we need to learn things about each other.” Vinyl said. I leaned back on the couch.

“What do you want to know?” I asked. Vinyl looked up in thought.

“Oh! I know. What’s your favorite food?” she asked. I smiled.

“Pizza! No question.” Vinyl’s face turned serious.

“There’s pizza here!?” she shrieked.

“Um, yeah.” I said. Vinyl jumped on top of me, throwing me against the couch. Vinyl began to drool.

“Lesson’s over! Can we… order some?” she asked, her eyes glazing over. I glanced at the clock. It was nearly noon.

“Sure. The Pizza Shop should be open by now.” I said, flipping open my cellphone.

“What would you like?” I asked.

“Extra cheese!” she said, continuing to drool.

“Hi, I’d like one large pizza with extra cheese, please.” I said. I flipped the phone shut. “It’ll be here in half an hour.” I tell her.

Vinyl continued to drool. I snickered.

“I take it from your drooling that you’re a pizza lover?” Vinyl blushed, and wiped her mouth.

“Maybe. I love the taste of the cheese with the daisies on a nice warm slice!” she said, trying hard not to drool again. I looked at her.

“Daisies?” I asked.

“Yeah, you know, flowers? They’re good.” she said. I decided not to continue the conversation. About ten minutes went past in silence.

“So, you were serious about having no friends, and no special somepony?” Vinyl asked, looking at me. I scoffed.

“I’ve always been what one would call a social outcast. I never really fit in with anyone else. And, what’s a special somepony? A significant other? No, I’ve never had a girlfriend.”

Vinyl looked slightly surprised.

“I can hardly believe that. I mean, the way you act around me, I think the girls would love you. You’re polite, gentle, caring, handsome...” Vinyl suddenly coughed, and looked away from me. I raised an eyebrow.

“Well, I’m not usually like this. Usually, I don’t feel comfortable around others, even people I know, but I… I do feel comfortable around you Vinyl.” I admitted. Vinyl remained silent.

(Vinyl’s Thoughts):Oh my god, did I really just say that? Handsome?! He’s not even a pony. But I do admit, he is… nice to look at.

“Vinyl? Earth to Vinyl!” I snapped my fingers. Vinyl snapped out of her trance.

“Ooh, sorry. What’s up?” I pointed to my watch.

“The pizza will be here any minute.” I said. Before Vinyl could respond, the doorbell rang.

“Quick, go in the other room! For the time being, we can’t let anyone else see you.” I said, getting up to answer the door. Vinyl walked into the bedroom. I answered the door, and met the Pizza delivery driver.

“One large with extra cheese.” he said.

“What about the daisies!?” you heard Vinyl shouted from the other room. The pizza guy looked over your shoulder.

“Daisies?” he asked. I put on a fake smile.

“Nothing. Just a TV show. So, that was seven thirty five, right?”

I set the pizza box down on the kitchen table. Vinyl was about to pull out a chair with her magic, but I stopped her.

“Nu-uh.” I said, blocking her path. She looked at me inquisitively. I pulled a kitchen chair out, and gestured for her to take her seat. She blushed, and climbed into her chair.

“Thank you, Vince.” she said, looking at the table.

I took the pizza out of the box, and cut it into slices.

“What would you prefer to drink? I’ve got Soda, Coffee, Milk, or Water.” I asked.

“Soda please!” Vinyl replied without hesitation. As I poured two cups of soda, Vinyl spoke again.

“Hey! You haven’t shown me any of your music yet! I wanna hear some of it!” she said eagerly. I smiled.

“Heh, maybe after the grub.” I said, setting her soda in front of her. She took a sip, and her face lit up.

“Wow! This is good. What soda is it?” she asked. I looked at the green liquid in the cup.

“Mountain Dew. The green potion that skyrockets your blood sugar and chance of a heart attack.” I said, sitting down across from Vinyl with the pizza.

Vinyl eyed the pizza.

“Where are the daisies?” she asked, looking at me with some god awful puppy eyes.

“Oh god, don’t do that!” I said, averting my gaze. Vinyl laughed.

“Looks like I found a sucker for the big eyes. I’ll keep that in mind. But seriously though, the pizza’s here don’t come with daisies?” she asked. I slid a hand through my hair.

“I hate to be the one to tell you, but humans don’t eat plants. At least not raw ones. We eat vegetables, fruit, meat, but not raw plants.” Vinyl dropped her pizza.

“Y-you eat… m-meat?” she whispered. I realized the flaw in what I had said.

“No. NO! Well… yes. But I won’t eat you Vinyl! We don’t even really eat horse… er, pony.” I quickly said.

Vinyl swallowed.

“Back in Equestria, where I come from, we had species that ate meat. Griffons, mainly. Ponies usually tried to steer clear of Griffons.” she said. I sighed.

“I’m sorry Vinyl. I didn’t mean to freak you out.” Vinyl smiled.

“It’s okay, I just hadn’t considered that humans might eat me. It was just a shock, that’s all.” she said. I took a bite of my slice, a chewed silently. Vinyl lifted her soda with her Unicorn magic, and took a sip.

“Back to the earlier conversation, what about you? Back where you come from, did you have a, um, Special Somepony?” I asked. Vinyl looked down at the table.

“Contrary to a lot of ponies belief’s, I didn’t. Because I’m a DJ, everypony always thought I was always getting banged, swimming in colt friends, but the opposite was true. Sure, a lot of colts went after me, I mean who can blame a colt for loving this body.” Vinyl said, wiggling her flank. I laughed.

“But honestly, I never really took to any of them. Mainly because all they wanted was sex. I want somepony who likes me for me, not just my body.” Vinyl finished, looking up at you. I sighed.

“Well Vinyl, I like you. I haven’t known your for long, but I can tell you’re someone who likes to have fun, but you can be serious at the same time. And you love music. What about you wouldn’t I like?” I said, feeling myself blush slightly.

Vinyl looked up at me, blushing slightly as well.

“You-You’re just saying that.” she said, sticking her tongue out at me. I chuckled.

“You’re right. I am saying it. And I mean it.” I ruffled Vinyl’s hair. She relaxed slightly.

“Come on man, not the hair!” she said, playfully batting your hand away.

“Well excuuuse me! Where would you prefer I grab you?” I asked, snickering. Vinyl’s eye’s widened slightly.

“Huh?” she asked.

“Relax, I’m kidding.” I said, leaning back in my chair.

With the pizza finished, it was time to clean up, and figure a few things out.
