Vintavia Scralody Season 2

At the front door of Vinyl and Octavia’s house, Octavia is reading a magazine about a New Cello known as the Super Cello 95 until Vinyl arrives with her bass cannon towards her marefriend.

“You were right, Tavi! Dubstep Cello is great for riding your bass cannon.”

“Yes. Yes it is.”

“Hey Tavi, watch what I do with this ride.” Said Vinyl as she takes off.

Vinyl is riding her bass cannon across the grass. She comes to a stop when she notices the gang of cats come at her and she screams. She trips over the cats and crashes into the grass.

“Aw, come on! I hate those cats!” Exclaimed Vinyl angrily.

The cats rip up Vinyl and her bass cannon.

“Vinyl! Are you ok?” Said Octavia running up to her and looking at her marefriend with concern.

“I-I'm fine, but my canon isn't!” Said Vinyl with a hoarse voice. The canon breaks in half, suddenly, she and Octavia hear the sound of something else breaking, and cries of pain, they turn and see Trenderhoof walking Ripley, but his back is injured. “Trenderhoof, what happened? Did the cats get you too?”

“Oh, I threw my back out, really need to stay off those ice skates.” He answered. He moves, and yells in pain again, the girls look at each other and cringe at this.

“We can walk Ripley for you.” Vinyl offered as he Pets the dog.

“Really? That would be a huge help.” Said Trenderhoof as he Gives Vinyl the leash. “Thanks girls, here's a little something for your trouble.”

He takes out his wallet, but drops it. He bends down to pick it up, but his back breaks, and the girls look at each other and cringe at this again. Ripley howls.

“Oh, you don't have to pay us.” Octavia protested.

“Nonsense.” Said the male unicorn pony as he takes out a grabbing tool to pick up his wallet. “Ponies usually get paid to walk pets.”

He gives Vinyl four bits, the duo gasp with amazement, look at each other, and get an idea.

“Octy, I know what we’re gonna do today.” Grinned Vinyl before looking back at Trenderhoof. “You know, Octavia and I could be Ripley’s regular pet walkers if you wanted.” She requested, Takes out what's left of her bass cannon. “I'm saving up to buy a new bass cannon.”

“And I’m saving up to get the Super Cello 95.” The grey mare added.

“Well, I'd be glad to have you girls walk Ripley, just remember, don't let him off the leash, that pet catcher's been handing out a lot of fines lately.” He said, pointing over to said pet catcher, who's fining a lady who's dog pooped in the middle of the sidewalk. He slaps a ticket on the lady's face and the dog's face.

“Got it, we'll be careful.” Vinyl saluted.

“Would you mind turning me around so I can go back into the building?” Trenderhoof asked.

The girls do so, and Trenderhoof yells in pain again.

********

Later, the girls are walking Ripley along in ponyville.

“Okay, I figure, if we walk Ripley once a day, five days a week, four weeks a month, we should be able to get the stuff we want in about two and a half months.” Said Vinyl.

“I didn’t know you could do Math, Vinyl.”

“Seriously?”

“Nah, I’m just toying with you.” The cellist chuckled giving her marefriend a kiss on the cheek. “Speaking of which, why don't we find some other pets around?”

“And injure their owners backs?” Said Vinyl thinking about it.

“I was thinking that maybe we just ask them if they want their pets walked.” Octavia corrected.

“Ah. Well, let’s go then.” The DJ heads off in the direction they were going to.

“Um, Vinyl? That’s where our house is.” Said Octavia stopping her friend.

“Oh, right.” The DJ chuckled and followed the Cellist.

********

Vinyl and Octavia are at Carousel Boutique where Rarity is hugging her pet, Opalescence.

“Thanks again girls, now just remember; Opalescence can fall asleep anytime, anywhere.” Said Rarity.

At that moment, Opalescence jumps on Octavia.

“Got it.” Octavia said giving a salute.

Octavia’s arm drops, and Rarity gives Vinyl the money. Next, the two are at Sweet Apple Acres, where Applejack is giving them her dog, Winona.

“Thanks y’all, keep a close eye on Winona, otherwise, she'll try to eat everything in sight.” AJ stated.

Vinyl Pets Winona “Awe, what a cute pup.” Winona barfs up an apple that hadn’t been eaten, she jumps into Vinyl’s arms. “Got it.” The DJ winks.

Applejack gives Vinyl the money. Later, the girls are outside Sugarcube Corners.

“Okay, now that we have three pets, we'll have enough money to buy our stuff in... three pets, five days, carry the one...” Said Vinyl trying to get an answer.

Octavia steps in. “...Three and a half weeks.”

“Haha, nice work, buddy.” Laughed Vinyl rubbing her marefriends head, playfully. Just then they hear chattering noises in the building, they look and see two other pets. “Hmm, how long would it take if we added two more dogs?”

“Hmm, that could work.” Octavia agreed.

They enter the building where they notice Pinkie Pie and her pet Gummy.

“Are you sure you can handle this many pets?” Pinkie asked with concern.

Vinyl looks at Gummy, who starts licking his eyeball. “Well he is an alligator, they don’t do much.” Vinyl observed.

“Their scales are much duller and their tongues aren't forked and cannot "stick out".” Octavia observed.

There was a moment of silence.

“Well then we better be careful.” Said Vinyl.

Pinkie gives Vinyl the money. And the pair head out.

********

Later, the girls are strutting down the street in manhattan with the pets, when Truffle pops out of a garbage can, and falls face first in front of them.

Truffle gets up and cleans off his coat, unaware that he has a banana peel on his head. “Hello ladies, I see you have a little business going, good for you, I think we can help each other out, uh, step into my office."

Truffle goes into the alley, the girls look at each other, shrug and follow. In the alley, Truffle is sitting in front of what looks like an office, which is really just an old backdrop next to a dumpster, which falls over.

“Your office really needs a decorator.” Said Octavia, not amused.

“What is it, Truffle? We're busy.” Vinyl said with annoyance.

“I'll make this quick; I can pay you four bits day to walk Harry.” Said Truffle as Harry, a big brown bear, pops out of the dumpster.

“Why would you only give us four?” Vinyl said with confusion.

“It's my finders fee. Don't you guys know anything about capitalism?” Asked the earth pony.

Vinyl and Octavia glanced at each other in confusion and take a step back to talk to each other.

“So what do you think Tavi?”

“I mean, 4 bits is 4 bits.”

“Haha, she gets it.” Chuckled Truffle stepping in to their conversation.

“Fine, give us the money, Truffle.” Said Vinyl, not liking this.

Truffle brings out his saddle bag of bits, but it slips out of his hooves and drops on the floor. The girls look at this and are not amused.

********

Later, the duo are walking six pets, and they run into Davenport, and two Dachshunds.

“Hi, Davenport.” Vinyl greeted.

“Vinyl, Octavia, what are you girls starting a pet walking business?” Asked Davenport.

“Yes. Yes we are.” Said Octavia.

“You know, we could handle a few more.” Vinyl offered.

“I don't know, that's a lot of pets.” Said the owner of Quills she Sofas, looking at the pets the girls are walking.

“Don’t worry, we’re animal experts.” Vinyl smirked as she and Octavia do a hoof shake.

Alright, you talked me into it.” He said as he starts introducing the dogs. “Now this is Big Tony, and Little Sal.”

“Uh, they look the same size to me.” Said Octavia looking a bit confused.

Davenport looks at them. “I don't see it, so two things you must know; Big Tony, he's gonna chase squirrels.” He is regarding Little Sal. “And this genius thinks he's a cat; so what are you gonna do?”

“Squirrels.” Said the DJ

“Cat.” Said the Cellist.

“Got it.” They said at the exact same time.

Davenport gives Vinyl the money.

********

Vinyl and Octavia are back at ponyville sitting on a bench with the pets with them.

“Wow, these two dogs, really put us over the top. at this rate, we'll have enough money to buy the stuff we want by this weekend.” Vinyl grinned. “I can’t get a new bass cannon.”

“And I can get the Super Cello 95.”

“Maybe this won’t be so hard at all.”

“Indeed.”

What the pair don't know, is the gang of cats are right there. They join together to form a giant cat beast, Vinyl and Octavia hold on to each other, the pets try to run, and the cats bite their leashes off.

“Come back!” Exclaimed Vinyl In unison.

“No! Stop!” Exclaimed Octavia In unison.

They jump off the bench and give chase, but the cats chase the pets in all directions.

“Oh no! What do we do?!” They exclaimed, looking at each other in fear.

Vinyl thinks for a moment. “Wait here, I have an idea.” She runs off, and returns, panting, with a box. “My whistle collection. Let's see, ah, here it is, the all animal whistle.”

“Since when do we have that?” Octavia said confused.

“Well it’s the only way we could keep the plot moving.” Said Vinyl, breaking the fourth wall.

“The what?”

“Nevermind.”

Vinyl blows into the whistle. Winona and Ripley come out of hiding when they hear it, and return to the girls.

“Look, it worked. Uh…” Octavia sees Vinyl turning purple and takes the whistle. “Well, it sort of worked, at least Winona and Ripley came back.” She puts Winona’s leash back on, and sees that she swallowed something. “Alright, spit it out.” Winona hawks up a live pigeon. “Yuck.” The pigeon flies away. “Now what? We still need to find six pets.”

“Okay, we can do this, we just need to use what we know about these dogs.” The DJ gasps as she got an idea.” Opalescence loves naps, and I know the best spot in the park.” Back in the park, Opalescence is napping near a tree, Vinyl approaches. “Come on, girl.” She takes Opalescence away, showing Spike napping in the same position, the girls look at this. “Told you that's her spot.”

“Three down, three to go. Who's next?” Asked the cellist.

“How about Big Tony? He loves to chase squirrels and we are in a park.” Vinyl suggested, but then as soon as she looks around, there aren’t any squirrels. “Darn it. Where are all the squirrels when you need them.”

The two then notice a brown squirrel come by taking in his surroundings. Just then, Big Tony's eyes peek through the bushes and growls, seeing the squirrel. A shadow peers over the squirrel, having him paranoid, and turns to see Big Tony behind him. The squirrel screams in terror and runs off, Big Tony gives chase as he lunges for the squirrel's tail twice. Vinyl catches the dachshund just in time as the squirrel jumps onto her head. The squirrel is taking fast breaths, still scared.

“Huh. I guess that’s luck for ya.” Vinyl commented. “Ok, who’s next?”

“Gummy, we know that he doesn’t do much.”

“Yeah, but he can eat organic food.”

“Really?”

Vinyl nods.

********

The two mares were walking in manehattan across a supermarket, a bit far from a hot dog cart.

“There he is!” Vinyl exclaimed as Gummy walks out of the supermarket with a frozen bag of baloney in his mouth, Vinyl puts the leash back on him.

“Hey, you gotta pay for that!” Exclaimed a supermarket employee.

“Sorry” Said Vinyl as she checks the price on the baloney. “Nine bits for baloney? Sheesh.”

The employee holds her hoof out and Vinyl pays her the money.

“That's four pets, two more to go.” Said Octavia.

Yikes! It's Davenport.” Vine exclaimed as Davenport is walking along, whistling. “He's gonna see that one of his pets missing. Quick, hide.”

The duo hide behind the hotdog cart, the owner is confused and the two mares shushes him, motioning not to tell. Davenport approaches the cart.

“Heya Sir, what can I get ya?” Said the Stand owner.

“Ah, two dogs for the works please.” Said Davenport, Gummy hisses and Octavia ducks him. “Sheesh, where are you getting these pets?” Winona is about to go on his Davenport’s leg, but Octavia pulls her back too. “They sound almost alive.”

“Freshest dogs in town.” The stand owner chuckles

Davenport drops his money and as he goes to pick it up, Ripley burps in his face.

“Ahh, yuck!” Davenport exclaimed in disgust.

“Must be our new triple bean and cheese dog I had earlier.” The stand owner chuckles again. Opalescence comes up and licks Davenport, The stand owner quickly hides her and kisses Davenport’s slobbered cheek, then wipes his mouth. “Blegh. I just remembered, eh, Happy National Hot Dog Day.” He Goes into his cart and pulls out two hot dogs. “Here's your usual, two dogs dragged through the garden.” Sends a mixed up Davenport on his way. “On the house."

“Is he gone?” Vinyl asked.

“Yup.” The stand owner replied.

Vinyl and Octavia come out from behind the cart.

“Thanks man, we owe you one.” Said Vinyl with gratitude.

“You owe me two.” Corrected the stand owner.

The girls realize what that means, and Vinyl pays him the money.

“Now, we just need to find Little Sal and Harry.” Said Vinyl.

“Little Sal thinks he's a cat, I can work with that.” Said Vinyl confidently.

********

A cat tree is set up in front of the steps of the apartment and the girls peek out from behind the side of an apartment. Little Sal then plays with it.

“Huh, so she is a cat.” Octavia said.

“Now I understand what Davenport was talking about.” Said Vinyl.

“Now all we need to do is find Harry.”

Truffle suddenly steps out of the Apartment. “I might be able to help. Tell you what, give me ten bits, I'll find him.”

“Ten bits?!” Vinyl and Octavia said in shock.

“I guess you could just tell Fluttershy that you lost him.” Truffle smirked. Vinyl growls in anger and gives Truffle the money. Truffle then brings out Harry, the girls gasp at this, aghast. “Nice doing business with you two.” He goes back inside.

“TRUFFLE!” Angrily shouted the two mares who fell for this.

********

Later, Vinyl and Octavia ties the animals leashes to a fire hydrant.

“Aw man, we're losing way more money than we're making today.” Said Vinyl disappointed

“But at least we got all the dogs back.” Said Octavia grinning.

Just then, Vinyl’s whistle slips from her neck, Winona notices it, bites off her leash, and eats the whistle.

“Vinyl the whistle!” Octavia exclaimed.

The whistle is going off inside Winona, causing the other pets to run past the girls, ripping the leashes off. Vinyl and Octavia are in a daze at first, but shakes it off.

“Wait, stop!” Shouted the DJ.

The two mares chase after them all over the city, bumping past Davenport, who falls over while having his hot dogs. Davenport sees his 'dogs are still okay, but then a flight of pigeons attack him, leaving his clothes teared up, and his 'dogs are gone, Davenport is sad now. The animals turn the corner in front of a store and the girls approach, but gasp when they see the pet catcher has caught them.

“Hey, those are our pets!” Vinyl said angrily.

The pet catcher Is writing some fines. “Great, then you two owe me seven off-leash fines.” He slaps a fine on Vinyl face, then on Octavia’s.

“There goes all our money.” Octavia sighed. Vinyl pays the pet catcher the last of their money and he gives her back the leashes. “Hey, we need a little advice: If hypothetically speaking, one of the pets swallowed a whistle.”

The pet catcher takes out a plastic bag. “Well then, just wait for number two.” Vinyl takes the bag, disgusted; Walks away. “Good luck.”

The two mares looked at each other disgusted.

********

Later, the girls are just walking Ripley.

“Well, I guess we're back to waiting two and a half months to get our stuff.” Octavia sighed.

“Yeah, and I'm fine with that.” Vinyl grinned.

The two mares hear the sounds of dogs barking. Truffle is walking the rest of the Pets they were walking.

“Thanks for the business guys, cya!” Said Truffle. The pets notice the tornado of the gang of cats and run off, the cats shred up Truffle. “Oh no!” He gives chase. “Come back!”

“Hmm, serves him right for scamming us earlier.” Vinyl commented.

“Yeah.” Octavia agreed.

There was another moment of silence.

“You wanna get jobs a Wubway?” Asked Vinyl.

“I’d be insulted if I wasn’t invited.” Octavia agreed.

They walk out, arms around each other.
