Vintavia Scralody Season 1
Episode 3: Trash Mares
Previous ChapterNext ChapterVinyl and Octavia are outside of their house taking out the trash. Vinyl has bags of Trash bags on their hammock, which she uses as a slingshot, and Octavia has the garbage can wide open for a good shot.
“You ready, Tavi.” Asked Vinyl determined.
“Ready as I’ll ever be, Vinyl. Just don’t get it in my face please.” They gray mare said confidently.
Vinyl let go of the hammock and the trash bags suddenly start flying into the air instead of the trash can Octavia was holding.
“I’m pretty saw that wasn’t supposed to happen.” Said Vinyl as She and Octavia dashed towards their house.
The duo were sitting on the couch watching TV, while snuggling on to each other. Until they hear a doorbell ring, they open it, revealing two Pegasus officers. Fast Clip and Whiplash, Fast Clip is the one with a White coat and a dark brownish mane. Whiplash is the one with a Medium gray coat and a dark gray mane. They are at the door in front of Vinyl and Octavia, but the male Pegasi are covered in trash.
“I believe this trash belongs to you.” Said Fast clip not looking happy.
“And how do you know this trash belongs to us?” Asked Vinyl denying it.
They take out what they found from the trash, Revealing an envelope with the name “Scratch and Melody” as proof. The two mares laugh nervously at their response.
“Who’s got two hooves and is ready to make his first arrest today? This guy.” Said Whiplash gesturing to himself as he’s holding hoof cuffs.
“Hold those hooves, Whiplash. Nobody’s getting arrested.” Said Fast Clip.
“Aw man, I never get to arrest mares or go undercover or slide across the hood.” Whiplash whined.
“There, there, you will someday.” Said Fast Clip patting Whiplash’s back before approaching Vinyl and Octavia. “The punishment for littering is a hefty fine, where are your parents?”
“They don’t live here and we spent all of our money.” Vinyl stated as she took the bill paper from Fast Clips hat and opens it showing the bill revealing 300 bits.
“They’re right, they are broke.” Said Whiplash as he takes the paper from Vinyl.
“Hmm. Well, I’m sure we can find another way to settle this.” Said Fast Clip sinisterly.
Vinyl and Octavia stare at each other, wondering what happens next.
********
Vinyl, Octavia, Fast Clip, and Whiplash are at the side of a highway and it looks dirty. Vinyl and Octavia both have brooms in front of them.
“You two are on highway cleanup duty, the ugliest highway in Canterlot.” Said Fast Clip.
“Unlike arresting hooligans and sliding under the hood. Oh I wanna arrest me some hooligans, like you.” Said Whiplash pointing his hoof as Vinyl and Octavia.
“Whiplash!” Exclaimed Fast Clip stopping his partner. “ Now this mile is infamous for its litter bugs. We’ve cleaned this highway top to bottom at least 16 times, but it always gets trashed again right away.” The stallion explains.
“By punks like you two.” Added Whiplash.
“You need to make sure your side looks like that.” Said Fast clip gesturing to a much cleaner highway on the other side.
“We happen to call that: Gladmane highway.” Said Whiplash.
Someone appears to appear from a hedge of the highway, revealing an earth stallion with a purple coat and a white mane, he is wearing a tuxedo, who goes by the name. “Gladmane”.
“Did somebody say my name?” Gladmane said as Vinyl and Octavia glanced at each other as the purple mare Is slowly approaching their highway with a broom. “Cuz if they didn’t, I’m gonna need a Doctor, luckily I go to the best one in town, Dr. Gladmane.” He said as he arrived at the dirty highway.
“Hey Gladmane, you mind keeping an eye on these girls?” Requested Fast Clip.
“Mind?” Said Gladmane as he throws away his room. “It would be my pleasure helping you find public service.” He said as he shakes Vinyl and Octavia’s hooves. “I always love some responsibility, nothing says I like extra responsibility, and nothing says extra responsibility like...Me. I clean my road all the time, I thrive on a challenge like this.”
“And how do you get it so clean, Sir?” Asked Fast Clip.
“Yeah, what’s your secret?” Whiplash also asked.
Gladmane is still shaking the two mares’ hooves. “Secret? I have no secrets, I'm always on guard to keep my-” He is cut when he smells something, he turns around to see what happened. “A bird just soiled my divider line, no one soiles my divider line, No one!
He approaches his side where fecal matter from the bird is on it. He gets a tooth brush and soap and washes it off.
“Now if you mares get this highway ‘Gladmane’ clean, we might reconsider that fine.” Said Fast Clip.
“In the meantime, I’m thinking about slapping some cold set of hoof cuffs on your pretty little hooves.” Threatened Whiplash.
********
Vinyl now is getting ready to clean her way, she grabs her bass cannon and sets in front of the trash.
“Vinyl what are you doing.” Asked Octavia questionably.
“If wubs can clean dishes, then I’m sure they can clean highways.” Said Vinyl as she sets the bass cannon to full volume. “You might wanna cover your ears, babe.”
Octavia did as she told and Vinyl began blasting the garbage away with her music. Minutes later, she thinks she is but reveals that she only clean a little bit of it.
“Dang it.” Said Vinyl deadpan. “Well, time for plan B.”
Vinyl grabs a water hose and gets ready to fire it, Octavia turned up the water to max Volume as The unicorn began blasting away trash with water. After they were done they began cutting up some grass making statues of themselves.
“Nice job, Babe.” Said Vinyl.
“You too.” Said Octavia
The two mares embraced each other for a while before a limo show up to them, revealing Prim Hemline from the window.
“The names Prim Hemline, I just adore what you’ve both done with your side of the highway, finally someone is giving that Gladmane a run for this years Equestria day clean highway road.” Said Prim as she takes off. “See you girls at the judging.”
“Oh, getting arrested has its perks.” Said Vinyl smugly. “C’mon buddy, we have to show those officers our hard work.” Said the unicorn as she and Octavia walk out.
While they’re walking away, Gladmane is cutting grass while staring at the pair.
“Nobody gets me a run for my bits, I always win the earth day awards.” The gray stallion said sinisterly talking to himself.
********
Next Day, Vinyl and Octavia brought Fast Clip and Whiplash with them, presenting their hard work.
“Here we are, presenting our very clean highway.” Said Vinyl as she turns around and soon gasp in surprise.
The highway was back at its pile of filth instead of being clean like before.
“Is this your idea of a Joke?” Said Fast Clip unamused.
“I’m pretty funny, but I know this ain’t no laughing matter.” Said Vinyl in a serious tone.
“It was clean when we left yesterday.” Said Octavia telling the truth.
“We are hurtling towards a beat down situation here.” Said Whiplash clashing his hooves together.
“Well, maybe not a beat down situation.” Said Fast Clip scratching his head.
“Ok maybe not, But I will arrest the both of you so good, and you’ll be all like ‘Please don’t send us to jail Mr. Police officer’ and I’ll be all like ‘Don’t you push my buttons, punks’ and you’d be like ‘Waah! Mommy’ and I’ll be like ‘You have the right to remain Arrested.” Said Whiplash threateningly.
Vinyl and Octavia gave each other confused stares as the brief silence was over.
“Now, now, they have until Friday, but if it’s not clean by then, we may have to do things Whiplash’s way. Now get back to work.” Said Fast Clip as he and Whiplash take off in their police carriage.
“There is no way that is was just last nights litter. Someone’s gotta be trashing this Highway. Film and Flam, The Pegasus bullies, The Shadowbolts” Said Vinyl theorizing while looking upset.
“Or giant list of all our enemies.” Added Octavia.
“Eh, Unlikely, Tavi.” Said Vinyl.
The two mares notice a Piñata hanging, and after a few seconds it explodes, revealing trash from inside it as it spreads around their bodies. They soon notice a fishing rod on the floor.
“Something seems fishy.” Said Vinyl.
They soon notice a silhouette climbing over the hedge laughing Maniacally.
“What’s going on?” Asked Vinyl as she and Octavia exchanged suspicious looks on their faces.
“And why is our side so dirty, while Gladmane’s side is clean.” Asked Octavia as she and Vinyl look at the Purples mares clean side.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one responsible for all this.” Said Vinyl deadpan.
“Hehehehehe, that’s right it was me.” Said Gladmane peeking out of the bushes. “Back when I was little, my mom always told me to clean up my room, but I didn’t want to clean up my room, and then a truck ran over my house and ever since then, I decided to make sure my highway was always clean.” Said the stallion as he looked as his trophies around him. “Isn’t that right, my little winners?” He then notices a pop can on his highway. “And No one side is going to stay cleaner than mine.” He said before throwing the Pop Can at Vinyl and Octavia’s side.
Gladmane splashed trash all over the pair while passing by the duo with a carriage while chuckling. Then a garbage truck come by them and spills more trash from the back and on to them. Finally, they look up to see a helicopter and Gladmane is flying it as he releases pea soup onto The musicians, Flying away cackling.
“At least he’s finished.” Said Octavia with relief.
“What are we gonna do? Fast Clip and Whiplash are gonna check our work first thing tomorrow morning.” Vinyl said glancing at her marefriend.
“Why don’t we tell them that Gladmane is the one trashing our highway?” Asked Octavia.
“Because they’d never believe us. We need to make a plan.” Said Vinyl as a trash can gets thrown onto her and Octavia. “And we can’t do it here. Let’s move.” Said Vinyl strained from the trash can.
********
Vinyl and Octavia are at the Hay burger, but only having drinks.
“Ok, Octy here’s the plan...” Said Vinyl.
They soon get interrupted when Gladmane throws trash at them, Cackling. He is revealed to be at the window of the restaurant.
“Losers!” He chuckled.
Next, they are at Canterlot high, Sitting at their class desks next to each other.
“So the plan is…” Said Vinyl.
They get interrupted, twice when Gladmane throws trash at them, again, Cackling. He is revealed to be at the window of the School.
“Losers!” He Laughed.
Next, the duo are at their house, in their bedroom.
“Finally, a place where we could talk.” Said Vinyl with relief. “So when we get to the…”
They get interrupted, once again when Gladmane cuts a hole through their roof and Dumps a huge pile of trash at them, Cackling for the third time.
“Losers!” He Snickered.
********
Vinyl and Octavia are walking through Ponyville angrily while Gladmane throws pieces of trash at the back of their heads.
“Losers!” He said as he grabbed a wooden show and throws it at their backs. The pair turned around, having enough of Gladmane. “Losers!”
“Ok Gladmane, what do we have to do so You’ll stop trashing our highway?” Asked Vinyl angrily.
Gladmane thinks sarcastically. “Hm, what do you need to do?” He thought sarcastically before going back to serious. “Oh I know exactly what you need to do: Grow up, Become Police Officers and arrest me.” He laughed as he started skipping away from them.
Vinyl suddenly gets an idea. “Tavi, I know what we’re gonna do, Today. But first I’m gonna need a white flag.” She then notices a spare one on the floor. “Perfect!” She said with confidence.
Vinyl and Octavia walk over to Gladmane, Who is cleaning his highway, With Vinyl holding the white flag.
“Gladmane, we give up, we’ll never come near this highway again.” Said Vinyl.
Gladmane takes the flag and gives the pair a look. “You don’t look like the giving up types.” He said suspiciously.
“I’ll prove it.” Said Vinyl as she pulls out a cup of Cider and starts drinking it, then she throws it all the way through their highway to prove her point.
“Deal! But if you two ever come back…” Began Gladmane.
“...Then you can pelt us with everything you’ve got.” Finished Vinyl as she and Male stallion shook hooves.
********
Gladmane is at his highway, this time with his trophies around him.
“Gather around, little trophies. C’mon, gather sound.” Cooed Gladmane talking to his trophies. “Let me tell you a story about clean gutters and...Huh? where?” He asked his trophies. He noticed the the heads of Vinyl and Octavia appeared at the hill of their highway. “I knew they wouldn't be able to stay away.” The purple mare said to himself as he pulls out an industrial vacuum and stars firing it at Vinyl and Octavia’s heads. “Time for a pelting. I sent the trash there, and the trophies come to me.” He said as the heads pop out, Revealing Fast Clip and Whiplash wearing helmets of the musical duo to trick Gladmane. “Uh oh.”
The officers take off their helmets and The real Vinyl and Octavia appear from behind the garbage pile.
“Whiplash, after you.” Offered Fast Clip.
Whiplash suddenly starts running with hoof cuffs as he slides through the police carriage and approaches Gladmane, slapping the hoof cuffs on his hooves.
“My first arrest, and I was able to go deep undercover, and I slid on the front of the police carriage. Today, I’m the man.” Said Whiplash wiping his tears in joy.
“But...How did you know?” Asked Gladmane nervously.
“I guess you could say: the shoe fell off.” Said Fast Clip, making a pun as he shows the shoe from earlier as evidence. “Thanks, Girls.” Thanked The white mare as he winked at them and the two winked back.
Prim Hemline from earlier approaches Vinyl and Octavia.
“Congratulations, here is your prize.” Said Prim handing the Trophy to the two mares.
“Thanks, but this really Belongs to Fast Clip and Whiplash, they cleaned the highway first, and they deserve it.” Said the DJ as she handed the trophy to the Officer duo.
“Thanks, Vinyl.” Said Fast Clip.
“That is really great of you.” Agreed Whiplash.
“Meh, i'd like to be the nice mare for once.” Said Vinyl as Octavia put her hoof around her for gratitude.
“And the 10,000 bits Check that goes with it.” Said Prim handing the officer Duo the check. Vinyl has a shocked expression on her face.
As They all left, Vinyl was the only one who didn’t move, she stood there for a couple of seconds and then fainted.
********
Gladmane is now cleaning up a different highway, and he has other mares doing it with him. He then notices a whistle coming from the sky. He looks at it and notices the trash bags from the beginning fall from the sky and onto the Purple mare entire body. He then notices an envelope and he reads it.
“Scratch! Melody!” He exclaimed, shocked by those 2 names.
********
Vinyl and Octavia we’re back at their house snuggling while watching TV.
“Already took out the trash.” Said Vinyl before kissing Octavia on the lips. “I love you, Tavi.”
“I love you too, Vinyl.” Octavia replied before returning the soft kiss.
And then they made out.
