Vintavia Scralody Season 2
Episode 2: Classic Downer
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOctavia is at the Marketplace in ponyville looking flowers for the girls’ house. Vinyl Suddenly walks up to Her coltfriend with her bass cannon. The unicorn is wearing a spring jacket to look like Neon lights.
“Hey, Tavi. What do you think? This is gonna come in handy.”
“Woah, you look just like Neon Lights, well, except for the glasses.” Octavia complemented.
“Huge compliment. Man, was that a great party, or was that a great party?” Said Vinyl with smirk.
“A and B. Hey, what do you say we keep the fun train rolling, and explore classical music. I saved you a spot for my concert tonight. And then we could go to a museum about it.” Octavia Smiled.
Vinyl puts her hoof on her back nervously. “You know, as much fun as I had that day, I'm gonna have to pass this time, buddy.” Octavia looks down, sad. “Not 'cause I don't wanna go, it's my turn to be Twilights test subject, and you know me, I'd do anything for proctology.”
“Uh, Vinyl, I think you got the wrong 'ology'. Corrected Octavia.
“And, I think you don't know Twilight.” Vinyl said back.
Octavia sighed sadly. “Well, that's a bummer. I was really looking forward to the two of us getting our music on.”
“I'm sorry, bud. Maybe someone else will be free.” Comforted Vinyl putting a hoof on her friend's shoulder.
Just then, Frederic Horseshoepin walks by. An earth pony with a light brown coat and a white mane. He wears a red bowtie, and is cutie mark is two eight notes. One black and one white. He is slowly approaching Vinyl and Octavia.
“Frederic, how would you like to hit the museum with me tonight?” Asked Octavia.
“What kind of museum?” Asked Frederic looking curious.
“A classical music museum!” Said octavia proudly.
“Of course, I’ve always been a fan of pianos, cellos, and more. Let’s go!” Exclaimed the stallion
Frederic and Octavia walk off, and Vinyl sighs with relief.
********
The next day, Octavia is at the Ponyville Theater at the backstage as Vinyl walks up to her.
“Octavia? I thought we were gonna hit the hay burger this afternoon.”
“Hey, love. Sorry about that. I wanted to get to the theatre early, gotta practice all those songs I played yesterday.”
“Wow, looks like you got a lot of stuff.” Said a surprised Vinyl.
Enter Frederic pulling an expensive piano towards the two mares.
“Check out this piano, it sounds even better than the one I normally use!” The male pony exclaimed happily.
Vinyl talks to Frederic as the unicorn looked amazed. “So, you had a good time?”
“Good time? I had a great time. I never knew looking at instruments could be so much fun." Said the happy stallion.
“He's really got a knack for classical stuff. You should have seen him haggle with the rug guy.” Said Octavia.
Frederic grabs a shiny trombone and turns around and accidentally hits Octavia first, then Vinyl, sending them flying towards the wall.
“Oh, sorry girls. Good thing I didn't buy the guitar.” Said Frederic to himself.
********
The next day, Vinyl walks back to the Scratch and Melody residence. As soon as she opens the door, she notices, Octavia and Frederic cleaning up old instruments in the bedroom.
“Octy? I thought we were hanging out tonight.” Said Vinyl walking towards her bestie.
“We are. I just invited Frederic to hang out with us. Wanna join in on the fun? Throw in a pair of those Rubber hooves, Sweetie. we're cleaning up these instruments.”
“You're having fun, by cleaning up?” The Unicorn said scratching her head in confusion.
“You should really try it, Vinyl. it's very relaxing.” Said the pianist still cleaning.
“Nah, I'm good, I'll just hang out until you guys are done.” Vinyl looks around and spots something. “Mind if I grab one of these root beers?”
“Sure, help yourself.” Octavia realized something. “Wait, I don't have any…” She Looks over and sees Vinyl drinking something. “No! That’s Dr. Peabody's onion elixir! Copyright 1812!” She Yelled!
Vinyl spits out the elixir all over Octavia and Frederic, who winces at this afterward.
********
Later the three mares are the living room towards the tv. Frederic and Octavia are channel surfing, and Vinyl is snoring away.
“Alright, so what do we wanna watch?” Asked Octavia still flipping through the channels until she stops at a killer robot channel. “Looks like there's a Robot Super Destroyer movie on.”
Vinyl gets up from excitement. “Oh! Is it the first one? The sequel? The prequel? Or the remake?”
“The remake of the prequel.” Answered the cellist.
“Sweet! We've only seen that one four times. Let's do it.”
Frederic steps in. “Or we could check out a compilation of Beethoven songs.”
“Or we could put it to a vote.” Vinyl clears her throat. “Who wants to watch Robot Destroyer?” Raises her hoof, then looks at Octavia, wiggling her eyebrows.
“Sorry, love. but we have watched it four times.” Octavia said sadly.
Vinyl flops onto the couch, saddened. Later, she is bored out of her head, while Octavia and Frederic are done finishing to the classical music. The two are excited that they finished, and hoof bumped.
“Fredtavia Horselody, forever.” Said Frederic happily.
Vinyl Wakes up after hearing that name (Fredtavia Horselody) “What was that?”
“Oh, just a nickname that Frederic came up with, of course, you and I are still Vintavia Scralody.” Octavia smirked putting a hoof on the unicorns shoulder.
“Yeah, sure, okay.” Vinyl takes Octavia hoof off her shoulder. “I gotta go outside.” The DJ Gets up off the couch and starts to leave, leaving Octavia concerned.
Octavia stops Vinyl. “Wait, Vinyl, Mozart is up next, he’s the one who does all the number symphonies in classical history.”
Frederic steps in. “Yeah, you should stay over, Vinyl. we're getting up bright and early to go exploring around the museum we just mentioned earlier.”
“No thanks, you guys clearly have your own thing going on, maybe I should just walk away. Have fun having each other’s company.” Said Vinyl walking out of the house looking really sad, so did Octavia and Frederic with concern.
Vinyl is at Ponyville as she is sitting on a bench, head down in disappointed. Her phone suddenly vibrates as Vinyl looks at it, receiving an email. She opens it.
“Attention Dubstep fan club, you're invited to a super secret party, bring a friend.” Vinyl read out loud before having a look of Jealousy. “Well, that friend sure isn't gonna be Octavia. She's too busy dusting with Fredtavia, but, who needs her? I've got plenty of friends.
********
Early the next morning, Vinyl at an arcade playing games and calls Lyra. The mint unicorn picks up her ringing phone
“Hello?” Answered Lyra.
“Lyra, it's Vinyl.”
“Which Vinyl? I know a few.”
“Vinyl Scratch, your friend.”
“Oh, ha, heh, yeah, hi Vinyl, my friend.”
“Are you busy tonight? I've got an extra ticket to a Rave party.”
“Oh, uh, I'd love to but, uh, I have to be at my moms for the weekend.” Lyra Lied.
“Okay, okay, I get it.” Vinyl hangs up.
********
Vinyl is later eating at the hay burger eating, and calls Quibble Pants.
“Vinyl, what's good?”
“Hey Quibble, how'd you like to go to the greatest DJ party on Earth tonight?”
“Tonight? I totally would but I've got a convention to go to, in fact, I'd better start packing.” Quibble Runs off before hanging up.
********
Vinyl is now at a portable toilet, Calling Minuette.
“Hello?”
“Munuette, buddy ol' pal, I've got an extra ticket to a Rave party, and-”
“Ugh, wish I could go, but, I promised Granny Smith I'd help her set up a dating profile, she said she's ready to get back out there, soooooo…”
Vinyl Sighs, and suddenly gets another call. “Hold on, I’m getting another call.” She checks it. “Oh, it’s Rainbow Dash.” She answers it. “Hey RD, do you wanna go to a rave party?”
“Uh, no, I wanna go inside, Vinyl, now get out of there!” Shouted Dash stomping her hoof so hard, Making Vinyl fall.
********
Later that night at Sugarcube Corners, Vinyl (In her “Neon Lights” outfit) Is looking at Mr. Cake, who is sleeping on the counter.
“Mr. Cake.” Called Vinyl.
The mare snaps awake. “Yes?”
“Can I get one bubblegum cupcake to go?”
“Just one? Today's special; twice a cupcake for only triple the price.”
“Nah, just one's good, I'm riding solo tonight.”
A bag of chips is being heard as one hits the ground, Vinyl goes over to reveal Lyra with the snack.
Vinyl walks up to the unicorn suspiciously. “Lyra?” the mint unicorn Jumped in fear when she realized she was busted. “I thought you were at your moms.”
Lyra remembers telling Vinyl that and Looks around. “Now what in the Heck? This isn't my moms house, gee, I must have taken a wrong turn.”
Just then, Minuette unknowingly walks up to Vinyl and Lyra.
“Mr. Cake! The toilet is clogged!” Exclaimed the Blue unicorn not seeing Vinyl.
“Minuette? I thought you were helping Granny Smith get back out there.” Said Vinyl as Minuette laughs nervously.
Suddenly, someone sneezes, they all look over, and behind a cardboard standee, they see grey hair.
Vinyl sighs, Knowing who that is. “Quibble! You can come out now, too.”
The earth pony does that while laughing nervously. “Sup, girl?”
“What's going on? You guys all said you were too busy to be at a party.” Said Vinyl Suspiciously.
“Look, Vinyl, the truth is, I think rave parties are terrible.” Minuette Finally confessed.
“Really annoying.” Agreed Quibble.
“To me, it's more lame than terrible. I know it wouldn’t be lame, and the next thing you know, I was wrong.” Said Lyra.
“We're sorry for lying, but we didn't want to hurt your feelings.” Said Minuette scratching her head.
“How can you not like Rave Parties? Tavi and I had a blast at the last One.
Minuette and Quibble look at each other.
“Actually, you had a blast. Octavia didn't want you to know, but she definitely didn't have fun.” Said the Blue mare.
“What are you talking about?” Said the confused DJ.
Flashback to the previous rave party as everyone was enjoying it, hitting the dance floor, but Octavia was crouching on the ground as she covered her ears, irritated by the song and the volume. Flashback ends.
Vinyl still looks confused. “Wow, how did I not see this? Octavia hates Rave parties. But then, why does she always agree to go?”
“Probably because she's just a really good friend.” Answered Quibble.
“Yeah, I'm sure you do the same for her all the time.” Agreed Minuette.
Vinyl then remembers something from a few days ago.
Flashback to Vinyl and Octavia at the Marketplace in ponyville.
”Hey, what do you say we keep the fun train rolling, and explore classical music. I saved you a spot for my concert tonight. And then we could go to a museum about it.” Octavia Smiled.
Vinyl puts her hoof on her back nervously. “You know, as much fun as I had that day, I'm gonna have to pass this time, buddy.”
Octavia looks down, sad. Ends flashback.
“Actually, I don't. Here I am mad at Octavia when I’m the one who's a bad friend.” Vinyl said Looking down, Guilty. “I'll catch you guys later, I gotta take care of something.” She said as she leaves Sugarcube corners.
********
Vinyl trotted back to the Scratch and Melody redicence as she knocks on their door. Octavia goes over to answer it from inside. She opens the door to see her marefriend.
“Vinyl! Am I glad to see you.” Octavia Smiled as she and Vinyl embraced each other. “I want to apologize, I should have known that classical stuff would make you feel left out.” She said looking guilty.
“Octy, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I didn't really have to help Twilight with proctology. I just didn't want to go to your concert, but I should've been a good friend and gone anyway, just like you did with me and the rave party.” Vinyl said before letting go of their hug.
“What are you talking about, Vinyl? I Loved the Party.”
“It's okay, Tavi, I know you don't, you just go 'cause you know it makes me happy, and I need to start doing the same for you, so…” Vinyl pulls out tickets. “I was wondering if you and Frederic would like to join me for this.”
Vinyl gives the tickets to Octavia and it is shown that she bought three tickets to the classical musicians movie.
“Classical Musicians: Canterlot Edition?” Exclaimed Octavia as Frederic bumps into the grey mare, overhearing the name.
“What? Wow, Vinyl, thanks for including me.” Said Frederic as he and Vinyl hoof bumped.
“Of course. In fact, I was thinking maybe we should call ourselves Fredtavinyl Scralodspin.” Vinyl Suggested.
“Or what about Vineria Horselodatch?” Octavia Suggested.
“Ooh, I know, Voctavic Scorshody.” Frederic Suggested
The three mares share a laugh before hearing rain coming from outside.
“Its starting to drizzle. I’ll just grab this umbrella.” Said Vinyl as she grabs the “Umbrella” and rips it upon opening it. Vinyl, Octavia, and Frederic looks shocked.
“Actually, that was an 18th century Japanese parasol, but no problem.” Said Octavia as she and Vinyl smile sheepishly.
