Vintavia Scralody Season 4

Vinyl and Octavia are waiting outside the at a train station for a train to appear. When it appears, they both get on it. Vinyl gets to a seat first, and Octavia follows her.

“Oh, Octy, watch out for the…”

“...Gum? Saw it.”

Octavia gives a salute then jumps over the gum. She then slips on a banana peel. Vinyl catches her.

“Banana. I was gonna say banana.” Vinyl corrected her.

“Oh, thanks Vinyl.” Octavia blushed happily

Octavia takes the banana peel off of her foreleg. She throws it to a man. The man yelps. The girls both sit down.

“Hey, today's the day we have to pick an after-school activity. Did you figure out which one you're gonna sign up for?” Vinyl asked.

“Not yet. I had a little problem with the booklet. It might have accidentally slipped over my hoof and on to a wet stain on the floor.”

“It's okay, I've got mine.” Said Vinyl as she takes out her booklet. “We should totally pick an activity that we can do together, I don't anything cutting down on our hang time.”

“Me neither. Do you realize if we don't do something together, we're gonna lose out on two hours of hang time a day?” Octavia shows a notebook. “That's 10 hours a week and 40 hours a month of not hanging out.”

“Relax, bud. That isn’t gonna happen.” Vinyl patted her marefriend on the shoulder. She goes back to looking at her booklet. “Let's see; Chess Club, Gardening, Introduction to Model Trains.”

“Oh, definitely model trains.” Said a voice.

Vinyl and Octavia turn around to see a train conductor named All Aboard step in.

“Hey girls, just overheard your convo, go with trains, they're literally tons of fun. Choo-choo!” The stallion returns to the controls, making more train noises. “All aboard!”

Thanks, sir. we’ll talk it into consideration.” Said Octavia.

“What about gymnastics?” Said Goldie Delicious stepping into Vinyl and Octavia’s convo. “It's a great activity, and you can do it anywhere.” She grabs the handles above her, and dismounts with numerous backflips into a split; to the family in front of her. “Ta-da!”

The girl and mother give her a ten, but the baby gives seven and a half.

“Thanks for the suggestion, Mrs. Delicious.” Octavia whispers to Vinyl. “Is there anypony we don't know on this train?”

“Hmm, Intro to Balloon Animals, Arc Welding.” Vinyl turns the page. “No way, Lucha Libre? What do you think? Could that be our after school activity?”

“That sounds bogus, And I’m totally in!” Said Octavia cheerfully.

“Uh, a little help.” Said Goldie sliding over to the girls, stuck in her split.

********

Later at Canterlot High, the two mares enter the Lucha Libre Club.

“This looks awesome!” Exclaimed Vinyl. She and Octavia run to the box of masks, and takes two out. “Here, let's be green.” She puts her mask on. “That way we can be on the same team.”

Octavia puts her mask on. “Sweet! Now, what are our character's backstories? Ooh, how about this? Since we're green, we can be radioactive slime mares.”

Vinyl laughs at this. “You’re too funny, babe.”

Just then, two other mares named: Toe Tapper and Torch Song approach Vinyl and Octavia.

“You guys wanna wrestle? Me and Toe Tapper against you two.” Said Torch.

“Sure, what are the rules?” Octavia asked.

Torch and Tapper laugh, Vinyl and Octavia look at each other and laugh nervously with them.

Torch puts on her mask. “There are no rules.” She said threateningly.

Torch grabs the pair and flings them, screaming into the ring. Vinyl rolls and is fine, but Octavia bounces, dazed.

“So, what's your character's backstory? Are you both Aztec warriors lost in time? Or oranges who escaped from the juice factory?” Said Octavia as their opponents enter the ring.

“Less talking! More wrestling!” Said Torch looking intense.

Torch elbow drops Octavia, and a fight cloud emerges, it dissipates revealing Torch sitting on a dazed Octavia, Vinyl pulls her bestie away.

“Alright, here's the plan, you lure them over here, and I'll jump off the ropes and pin 'em.” Said Vinyl with confidence.

“But, won't that make them mad?” Said Octavia looking worried.

“Don't worry about it, we can take 'em. Just channel your aggression.” Octavia tries to rile herself up. “Come on babe, you can do it. What makes you angry?” Shakes her “Tap into your tough side.”

Octavia tries to do that, when suddenly she begins to walk looking dizzy.

“Octavia? Octavia?! Speak to me!” Exclaimed Vinyl worriedly. Just then, Tapper and Torch attack the DJ, another fight cloud emerges, Octavia walks past, still looking dizzy, and the cloud ceases; Vinyl has Tapper pinned, and Torch, who's eating Vinyls mane, goes after The cellist. “Octy! Look out!”

Octavia is still dizzy, and doesn't see Torch behind her, she turns around when she hears Torch yell, and yells in fear, Torch body slams Octavia, and Octavia goes flying, screaming right out of the ring, and eventually lands. Vinyl gasps and goes after Octavia, while Tapper is now dazed and falls over.

“Tavi! Where are you?!” She finds Octavia cowering under the caller's table. “You're not having fun are you?” She asked with concern.

“No, no, this is what radioactive slime mares do, they hide.” The Cellist lied.

Octavia under the table, but Vinyl lifts the cloth.

“It's okay Babe, maybe Lucha isn't your thing.”

“Sorry, I know how much you like it.”

“Don't worry, we'll find another club we can do together, one that we both love.”

“Thanks, Vinyl. You’re the best friend I could ever ask for.” Octavia smiled with gratitude.

The pair walk out, arms around each other, Torch and Tapper wave goodbye.

“See you guys in algebra!” Said Torch.

********

Later in the hallway, Vinyl takes the booklet out of her locker and reads through it.

“Let's see, Drama, Jewellery, Robotics, Wood Shop…” Vinyl read. “Woah, wait, robotics? We have to.” Vinyl become serious. “I'm not taking no for an answer.” She looks at Vinyl, and starts begging. “Can we Tavi? Can we please?”

“You got it, pal.”

Just then, Gizmo walks up to them and is covered in arrows. “Hey Guys, can I borrow one of your books if you're done? Archery club was definitely not for me.”

“Sure.” Said Vinyl giving the book to him.

“If you're thinking of trying lucha libre, watch out for Torch.” Octavia warned him.

Vinyl and Octavia walk to robotics club, and everyone is building and coding. A few moments later, they are finished with their projects.

“This breakfast bot is gonna cook everything; eggs, bacon, toast and pancakes. How's your robot coming, babe?” Asked Vinyl.

Octavia is standing next to a pile of parts and holding a spring and a bolt. “Good.” She lied. “I've finally figured out that this piece, attaches to this piece.” She puts the spring over the bolt thread, and the spring hits her in the face. “Ouch.”

“I have a great idea, why don't you help me with my breakfast bot?”

“That’s nice of you Vinyl. Besides I’m hungry anyway.”

“I'm almost done, can you connect the eye sensor to the servo motor?”

“Sure.” Octavia works on the hardware and closes the panel. “Okay, all set.”

Vinyl finished wiring the remote, and gives it to Octavia. “Alright! Who's ready for breakfast?”

Octavia turns the bot on.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Said the Breakfast Bot.

“How 'bout we start with some hash browns?” Octavia requested.

The bot's lights go off, it then opens it's compartment, where a raw egg falls out and breaks on the desk.

“Um, Tavi? Are you sure you connected that right?”

“I'm like eighty percent sure, or maybe sixty.” Octavia awkwardly laughs.

“Hmm, maybe you better turn it off so I can check it out.”

Octavia presses a button on the remote, and Breakfast Bot goes crazy.

The breakfast bot goes nuts. “Time or breakfast.” Takes off. “Time for breakfast.” Flips another robot with it's spatula hand, and pats it down like a pancake. “Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast.” Mixes another robot wit it's whisk hand. “Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast.” Swaps it's kitchen tool hands for pancakes and syrup and starts flinging breakfast all over the room. “Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast. Time for breakfast.”

Vinyl hits the emergency shut off, and the robot powers down. Vinyl ends up with an egg and bacon and pancake smiley face, which falls off, revealing her despondent face. Octavia in hiding behind their work station.

“Psst, is everyone mad at us?” Octavia whispered nervously.

Vinyl everyone surrounding them, angry, and hides with her marefriend. “No, but, robotics might not be your thing.”

“No, I can make this work, how 'about I just watch from under here and never touch any of the robots?”

“Or we could just find another club.” Said Vinyl putting her hoof on her marefriends shoulder.

“But you love robotics.”

“Yeah, but I'd rather find another activity than lose ten hours a week of quality hang time with my bestie.” Vinyl kisses Octavia on the cheek.

“I love you Vinyl.”

“I love you more, Tavi. there's lots of other clubs we can try, the most important thing right now is, that we leave immediately.”

Vinyl and Octavia run out and the other club members throw tools and machine parts at them, and one throws their bot on the ground.

Later, the girls are in Pottery Club.

“Pottery is kinda awesome, I'm going to make a new dog dish for our house.” Said Vinyl.

“Hmm, I think I'm gonna love it too, if I could just find the on button for this thing.” Said Octavia not knowing what to do.

“You have to step on the foot pedal.” Said Vinyl pointing at it.

Octavia does so, but too hard, and the table spins too fast, the duo, seeing where this is going, duck in cover, and Octavia’s clay splatters all over Gizmo.

“Sorry, Gizmo.” The two said in unison.

“It's okay.” He replied and falls over.

“Maybe this club isn't for us.” Said Vinyl and Octavia nods in agreement.

Next, the girls try Knitting Club.

“This is so much better than pottery.” Octavia said cheerfully as she shows the sweater she's making.

Vinyl tied herself up in yarn. “Yeah, so much better.” She lied as she tries to get the yarn off, and accidentally flings her needles into Gizmo’s hair, Gizmo passes out. “Let's try another club.”

Next they try Cooking Club.

“Today's recipe is preparing calamari, step one, pick out your squid.” Said the DJ

Octavia picks up a large squid. “Here’s a whopper.”

Suddenly the squid squirts Octavia in the face with ink.

“Woah!” Exclaimed Vinyl as she grabs the squid.

“Ah! Squid ink. Blech.” Exclaimed Octavia.

The squid clings to Octavia’s face, and she screams. Vinyl pulls it off, they fiddle around trying to catch it, and eventually do.

“I got him.” They said cheerfully.

The squid inks again, covering Gizmo.

Gizmo wipes the ink off his face. “I miss being homeschooled.”

********

On the train home, Vinyl crosses the last club off the list.

“Well, we tried every club the school has to offer.” Said Vinyl looking sad.

“Even Model Train Club?” Said a voice, revealing to be All Aboard again.

“It was cancelled due to lack of interest.” Said Octavia to the conductor.

All Aboard gasps in shock. “What?!” He goes into the cab, abruptly stops the train, and makes an announcement on the intercom. “Attention everyone, this train is out of service, your conductor, needs to walk this off, chugga-chugga choo choo.” He said as everyone groans at this.

“Can he do that?” Asked Octavia to Vinyl.

“Well he isn’t the first conductor to do that.”

“Fair point.”

********

Vinyl and Octavia eventually make it back to their house, still sad.

“Listen Octy, I know we really wanted to do our after school activity together, but we're out of time, we have to pick by tomorrow.”

“I know, I don't wanna say it but maybe you should go back to where you were happy; the Lucha Libre Club.”

Vinyl stops and is shocked to hear this. “You mean without you?”

“What other choice do we have, Vinyl?”

“Yeah, maybe you're right, and maybe you should just do the thing that made you happy; Robotics Club." Said Vinyl before black fluids start pouring from Octavia’s eyes. “Awe, babe, are you crying?” She asked in concern hugging her marefriend.

“No, that's just from the squid ink, but I am sad.” She sighed, not being able to spend a good time with Vinyl.

“I know, me too.” Sighed Vinyl.

The two enter their house, and night, Vinyl is in the kitchen, looking through the pictures in her phone, one of her and Octavia in Cooking Club, then Knitting Club, she laughs at it, and then Robotics Club, she smiles. In their room, Octavia is doing the same thing, looking at the pictures of her and Vinyl in Cooking Club, Pottery Club, which she too laughs at, and finally Lucha Libre Club, Sid also smiles.

********

The next day, Octavia returns to Lucha Libre Club, with her green mask.

“All right, you goons! It's time for a rematch.” The cellist said before charging at Tapper.

“Oh hey, I thought you guys quit.” Said Tapper.

“Well, you thought wrong my orange friend.” The gray mare raises her mask, and realizes something. “Hey, where's Vinyl?”

“She's not here, but, let me go get Torch.” Said Tapper taking off.

Torch, meanwhile, has a purple girl in a headlock.

“Ah! Help me!” Cried the student before Torch pulls her away.

Octavia nervously laughs. “That's okay, I have to go.” She puts her mask back on. “Tell Torch I said hi.”

The cellist leaves. Meanwhile at Robotics Club.

“Hey guys, heh heh, look who's back.” Said Vinyl nervously.

Everyone grabs their robots in fear.

The Breakfast Bot comes to Vinyl remembering her. “Mother, you came back.” It offers Vinyl a heart shaped pancake, but gets yanked away.

“What do you want?” Said a robotics mare who huffed.

“Just looking for Octavia.” Said Vinyl.

“She's not here. Remember? You guys quit.” Said the robotics mare sternly.

“Ah, sorry, I thought Octavia would be here, thanks.” Vinyl waved as she runs out.

The Breakfast Bot comes out the door. “Wait! You haven't had breakfast.”

The Robot shoots Vinyl a bagel, she pops it in her mouth and continues running through the halls, she looks around. Meanwhile Octavia is doing the same thing. They keep on running until they run right into each other.

“Tavi?”

“Yes, Vinyl?” She said as she takes off her mask.

“I wanna join your club!” They both said and are shocked to hear each other say that.

“I really don't care what we do, as long as we do it together.” Vinyl grinned.

“Me too.” Octavia agreed.

The pair embraced each other and leaned over for a deep passionate kiss on each other’s lips.

“I love you, Babe.”

“I love you too, Sweetheart.”

They let go of their embrace.

“let's go to Robotics Club, I'm totally gonna help you.” Said Vinyl.

“Nope, I've already got the mask, let's go back to Lucha Libre.” Said Octavia.

“No way, we're doing robotics.” Said the DJ as she throws Octavia’s mask away.

The Breakfast Bot comes to its creators. “Toast is ready.”

The bot, who's wearing the radioactive booger-person mask, pops buttered toast into the floor, the girls laugh.

Gizmo comes in and is amazed by the bot. “Oh, wow, are you guys starting some sort, of Lucha Libre Robotics Club?”

“What?” Said Vinyl in unison

“No.” Said Octavia in unison

Suddenly they get an idea.

“I mean, yes, yes, we are starting a Lucha Libre Robotics Club.” Said Vinyl.

“And We're totally gonna do it together.” Said Octavia as she and Vinyl locked arms around each other.

********

Later, Vinyl powers up her robot, and looks at Octavia, who nods.

“Okay Gizmo! You can start the match!” Octavia called out to him.

Gizmo salutes theme and grabs a microphone. “Alright bots! I want a good clean battle, no hitting below the fan belt.”

Breakfast Bot is ready, and so is Vinyl’s new bot.

“Woohoo! Let's do this! I'm gonna take you down Babe.”

“Come at me, love.”

The robots battle, when suddenly Torch appears.

“Hey! Can I join this club?” Torch asked.

“Yeah.” Vinyl replied.

“Of course.” Octavia replied as well.

Torch enters the ring and puts her mask on, does a battle cry, and charges into the fight, a few punching sounds and machine parts are flying everywhere, Gizmo gets thrown next to where Vinyl and Octavia are.

“My money's on Torch.” Said Gizmo dazed.

Vinyl and Octavia look at each other and laugh cheerfully.
