Jobs, Nakedness, and BREAKFAST!!!

Yesterday's  events were pretty crazy for Lyrical and Shadow. Being tackled and almost hugged to death by Pinkie's iron grip, meeting the other mares red faced through some embarrassing moments, Lyrical performing on stage in front of the whole town. Well, besides the colts and fillies but you get the idea. Not to mention Lyrical's poem to the night princess herself. Life was good for Lyrical and Shadow so far. But there was just one problem.

BITS!

Before Lyrical left for Ponyville, he decided to send money to his family back in Detrot. You see, money was always tight for them, and having 5 other mouths to feed was not easy for his father. He was a hard working man, stubborn and grouchy sometimes, but he cared for his family. So the day Lyrical's dad

.....

He decided that when he grew up, he would help his family with bills. But first, he has to get a job. He did, but they did not pay him as much. Lyrical use to work at a Hay and Vegetables shop. He would season the vegetables, sell them, collect the bits, clean the store, and repeat. He did not want to do this everyday, so when he saved enough, he bought the next train ticket to Ponyville. His father talked to him about finding a job, even at an early age. But his dad wanted him to have a job he would love. In fact, he did not want a job. He wanted a career.

But here he is, in Ponyville, rented a room thanks to his buddy Shadow, who also wanted to move with his bro Lyrical. Now all he has to do is earn some bits, send some home for family and keep a little for himself. Pretty Easy day its going to be.

Right?

Lyrical wakes up the sun shining in his face once again. Man he hated it. Another reason why he enjoyed the night more than the day. The freaking moon light doesn't blind you...unlike the son. He slowly get's up, all groggily like. His eyes were half open, under them were dark bags. He clicked his tongue with a loud click, and looks around the room. It was a really big mess, even though he had been there once. Twice now that he slept in it. He looked of his left and the time read 11:00.

"Ha, if I was back in Detrot I would have been late..." Lyrical said, opening his mouth for a loud yawn. He slowly gets out of his bed, weekly and lazily. He quickly falls on the ground, face making contact, strangely not making a noise. He closes his eyes, preparing to sleep again. "HMMMM....This carpet is so soft, and sweet, and pink....

Pink?"

Lyrical's eyes shot open, and he was indeed, laying on top of a pink party pony, her stomach on the ground and Lyrical  facing the othe side, cross like.  Normally, Lyrical would freak out and turn red, but because it was a Friday, he was to lazy to do anything but stand. He got off of the pink  pony and made his way to the bathroom, not quite ready to start a new day. He grabbed a nearby towel from the towel rack and turned the nozzle on warm. He took of his hoodie, closed the door, and sleepily made his way in the tub. He closed the curtains, and his coat and mane were immediately covered in warm water.

"Ahhhhhh, that feels better." Lyrical said, standing in middle of the running water. He grabbed a nearby loofah and scrubbed. After about 10 minutes, he   walked out of the shower, towel wrapped around his waist. He looked in the mirror, mane all wet and the spiky, messy part of his hair covering his eyes. He moved them out of the way, and smiled at his own reflection.

"New town, new beginnings." He muttered. His shiny, grey-white eyes in the mirror stared back at him. After about what seemed like centuries, he dried his mane, reverting it back to its old, spiky, messy self.

"Wait," He realized, 'What about Pinkie? How is Shadow going to-"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! PINKIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!??!?"

Lyrical walks out the bathroom to see Shadow red faced and Pinkie yawning, smiling.

"-react." Lyrical said chuckling. Shadow turns around to his laughing friend, a thought suddenly came to him.

"Lyrical, why are you wearing a towel?" He said. Lyrical looks down at his waist and shrugs. "I don't know, just cause I felt like it I guess." He walks over to his suit case and searches for a hoodie he would like to wear.

"Red? Nah. Blue? Nah. Black? Naahhh not today. All white? Sure why not."

Shadow rolls his eyes. He noticed Pinkie smiling at him. But this was no regular smile, no it was a mischievous grin. She looks at Lyrical, and then back at Shadow. Shadow at first was confused, but them grinned at Pinkie's idea. With Pinkie's nod, they slowly walked up behind Lyrical, who was deciding between an all white hoodie or and all black hoodie. He turns around at a smiling Pinkie and at a chuckling Shadow.

"Hey, should I go with all black or all-Why does it feel so breezy all of a sudden?" He asks, eyebrow raised.  Pinkie and Shadow were now on the floor laughing their flanks off. Slowly, Pinkie raises one of of a white towel, while Shadow raises the other. Slowly, Lyrical's eyes widens, and he looks behind him. The towel that was covering him was gone. Red faced, he pulls the towel  back from the Pink one and the Grey one. He places the towel over his flank. Pinkie slowly gets back up, still giggling.

"Whats wrong Lyri?" She says innocently. Shadow slowly gets back up, still laughing. "Yea..whats wrong Lyrics?" Lyrical glares at Shadow,

"Dude, not cool. I WAS NAKED FOR 5 SECONDS!" Shadow stopped laughing and gave Lyrical a "are you serious?" look. "Bro, where always naked."

The words echoed in Lyrical's head. Slowly, he raised his left hoof, and slaps himself in the face. Defeated, he drops the towel and puts on the all white hoodie. "Say Pinkie, why did you come in our room? I thought you went home?" Shadow said. Pinkie was messing with one of Lyrical's hoodie, and placed it on. It was a light blue hoodie, matching her eyes.

"Hmm? Oh! I came by to leave some cake in your room, but then I fell asleep." She said, sticking her head through the hoodie.

"...That's it?" Shadow and Lyrical said in unison.

"Yup!" She said. Shadow and Lyrical chuckled. Lyrical had to admit, she did look cute in his hoodie.

"Oh! and I want to know if you guys would like to come and get some breakfast at Sugar Cube Corner." She said. Shadow thought about and nodded his head. "How about you Lyrics?" He said.

Lyrical was outside in the lobby, all ready waiting. Pinkie giggled and Shadow smiled. "That would be a yes Pinkie."

Lyrical was outside in the lobby wondering around with a growling stomach. He stumbles over something, and looks down. He saw a mixed tape, labeled "For the rapper." He picks it up, and sense he was the only rapper in the inn, he placed it in the pocket of his hoodie. He turns around to his the hallway where his room was and waits.

"LYRICAL HUNGRY!!" He says. Pinkie walks out of the room, fallowed by a hungry Shadow. Pinkie comes out of Lyicals hoodie, sits in his hair, and points towards the door.

"ON WARD STEAD!! TO THE SUGAR OF CUBE CORNERS!" She said giggling. Shadow and Lyrical chuckle with her giggle, and set there way towards the store.

Lyrical, Shadow, and Pinkie, who was still sitting in Lyrical's messy, spiky hair, walked into the bakery. The sign said it was closed, But Pinkie had a key, allowing them to enter the sweet, wonderland. Instantly, Lyrical and Shadow's snouts were filled with the smell of sweets. Lyrical was drooling, staring absentmindedly at sweets, while Shadow took out some bits. "So Pinkie, how much do we have to pay?"

Pinkie gasped and rushed up to Shadow. "One does not pay, when you are with the pink one." She said smiling.

"....What?" Pinkie, in a fit of giggles, dragged Shadow by the foreleg into the kitchen behind the counter. Lyrical, who was not paying attention at all, did not noticed Shadow being thrown over the counter, crashing into the kitchen. Pinkie jumped behind it, entering the kitchen. She lands on her hooves perfectly, while Shadow landed in a bag filled with powder. He got up, shaking the white powder off of him. Pinkie, who was just in front of him, some how came from behind him, sitting on his back. Shadow noticed his sudden weight change and looked behind him. Pinkie was on his back  with a cupcake pan in one hoof and a cake cutter in the other. while his face was red, Shadow just smiled at the pink pony,

"Pinkie, what are you doing?" For once, the pink one had a serious expression on her face. She looked Shadow in the eye.

"My name is not Pinkie Pie grey one. In this time of breakfast, you will address me as The  blue hooded chef. Now..."

She hops off of Shadow, placing a small, white chef's hat on him. Standing on her Hind legs, cupcake pan covering one side of her body like a shield, wielding the cake cutter in the air with other hoof, she takes a dramatic pose.

"LETS GET BAKIN"!!" Shadow stares out of the doorway to see Lyrical, staring at the goods with hungry in his eyes. He looks back at the still posed Pinkie.

".....May Celestia have mercy on my soul..."

Meanwhile outside of the kitchen...

Lyrical was drooling over the sweets under the locked counter. Chocolate chip cake, apple pie, chocolate covered eclairs and....

Glazed donuts.

Now you might be thinking, "Glaze donuts? Seriously Lyrical?" In your head, but Lyrical had a sweet memory about these specific donuts long ago.

It was a chilly Friday mourning in southwest Detrot, and poor Lyrical had to walk to school in the snow. Only wearing a dark brown hoodie with brown and light brown checker marks covering the sleeves as designs, he walked through the cold, Detrot mourning. He was far from school, and he did not have the will to go on. He fell in front of a store, eyes closed.

"I'm going to die." He thought. "Good by cruel wor-WHATS THAT SMELL!?" Snapping out of his not overly dramatic death, he walks into the store. It was warm in the building. Walking around, he noticed a mare standing behind a counter with a doughnut cutie mark. He walks up to the mare, and ask what she was selling.

"Glazed Donuts." She said with a smile. Lyrical took out one bit, and the mare gave him one, hot glazed sweet. Lyrical, who was not as good with magic back then, took it with a hoof, and slowly took a bite out of the doughnut.

".....It taste like Celestia glazed this wonderful bake good with her own magic." He said, raising the good in the air. He looks at the smiling mare and he whips out 5 more bits.

"...MORE." He said hungrily. He took a small bag of hot glazed donuts and ate them on his way to school, and they were delicious.

Sure he wound up arriving 2 hours late but who cares! Them goods were good!

Lyrical snaps out of his day dream, and places his hooves on the counter. "You will be mine my love." He says. Turning around, he see's a mare with black hair and a grey coat staring at him with confusion. Her cutie mark was a musical not of some sort. To her left, was a familiar DJ, snickering. Her shades were covering her eyes, but Lyrical did not care. He stares at the to mares for a second, face turns a little bit red, and he lets  out a small smile.

"Err, did you hear that?" Lyrical said, scratching behind his mane with one hoof. Vinyl stops snickering and Octavia rolls her eyes. "Yea, we heard it all buddy." She tuns her head to Octavia and nudges her side. "Right Octavia?"

Octavia lets out an annoyed sigh. "Of course, I did not know you liked glazed donuts Lyrical." Lyrical chuckles, and his blush decreases. He realized who he was talking to.

"I'm sorry, but who are you? I never told you my name."

Well he did not know who he was talking to but hey, can't blame the guy for not knowing.

Octavia looked shocked, while Vinyl rolled her eyes under her shades. "How can you not know me? I was at your party! Vinyl, did you not tell him who I am?" Vinyl on the other hoof, was bobbing her head up and down to some music She was listening to. "Figures." Octavia sighs. She fixes her bow tie, and looks Lyrical in the eye.

"My name is Octavia Celloella, (Yea i came up with the last name, was good my brony?) and sense you do not know I am a musician my self. I play the Cello."

"Yea I kinda figured that out with your last name." Lyrical mutters.

"What was that?"

"Hmm?"

"...Anyway, Vinyl and I were walking into town, until we noticed you, Pinkie and another stallion walk in here. The sign said it was closed, but Pinkie Pie must have left it open."

'Hey, wear is Pinkie and Shadow anyway?' Lyrical thinks to himself.

In the kitchen

"I'M HIT! I'M HIT!!!" Shadow said, clutching his right side, which was covered in red, frosting. Pinkie stepped in front of Shadow, protecting him from the oven that was shooting out red frosted chocolate cupcakes. The cupcake pan she had in her hoof was deflecting the cupcakes, but she new at any moment, the pan could shatter from the sheer, sweetness of the baked goods.

"GET OF YOUR FLANK SOLDIER! WE GOT CUPCAKES TO TAME!!" Pinkie pushes Shadow out the way, and jumps into the air.

Slow-mo style.

She lands on top of the oven, laughing as she jams the cake cutter in the handle of the oven. She closes it, and jumps off of the machine. She lands in front of Shadow, and behind her, the machine explodes, with red frosting and chocolate chunks flying behind the mare. Shadow could only stare in awe as the mini explosion filled the room with red frosting.

"GET UP SOLDIER! WE HAVE TO CLEAN THIS MESS AND STILL MAKE BREAKFAST!!" She hands Shadow a mop and bucket she got out of nowhere. Shadow could only sigh.

"What Have I gotten my self into?"

Outside of the kitchen..

'Meh, I'm sure they're good.' He thought, completely oblivious to the noise that just happened behind him. Only Octavia noticed this.

"Did any pony hear that load boom?" She asks. She breaks Lyrical out of his thoughts, and Vinyl takes out one ear bud.

"What?"

Octavia's eyebrow twitched, wanting to give them both a peace of her mind. But then she remembered why they fallowed Lyrical. She nudges Vinyl's side, and in response, Vinyl nods back.

"Listen Lyric's, we fallowed you here because we want to hire you. We want you to work at my club, rapping and entertaining our guests."

At first, Lyrical thought they were kidding, but remembering yesterday's events, he grins widely. But he also remembered why he wanted a job in the first place.

"I don't want to sound greedy, but how much will it be?" Lyrical asked. Vinyl shrugs and Octavia speaks. "It depends on how well your first performance is. We can't just pay anypony like that. They need to prove themselves." Lyrical was hut a little bit by her lack of faith, but quickly smiled.

"Thats OK, I'll be glad to rap for you guys." Octavia snickered and Vinyl grins.

"Who said it was for us?" Vinyl said.

"...What?" Lyrical said confused.

"Your going to be performing in front of other ponies Lyrical," Octavia said. Lyrical felt his heart fall for a split second. Vinyl chuckles. "You start next Friday, I'll come for you when it's time ok?" Before Lyrical could protest, the mares made their ways out of the building. Octavia leaves and Vinyl turns around to the shocked Lyrical. She hands him a mix tape player and ear phones. She lifts up her shades, revealing her blood red eyes, leans into Lyrical's ear and whispers.

"By the way, nice 'Cutie Mark.' "

She leans away to a deep red faced Lyrical, and giggles. "Your to easy to get ed you know that? Chow." With that, she leaves a red faced Lyrical by himself. He snaps out of his stupor and remembers the mix tape player he found on the ground from the Inn. He places it in the mix tape player, plugs in the earphones, and lets the tunes play.

(1rst song.)

(Second song)

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player\_detailpage&v=psdJcrNda84]

After both song's finished, Lyrical wondered who sang them. He was more of an Old Schooler, but he did enjoy the music. He would have to ask the pony who dropped the mix tape when he see's him or her. Suddenly, his stomach grumbles and he entered the kitchen.

"Hey did you guys finish ma-" He was cut off by a small chocolate cake smacking into his face. He hears Pinkie and Shadow Laughing.

"..-Breakfast. Ah who cares, it's cake." He licks the frosting and chocolate chunks from his face, finds a nearby cupcake, picks it up with his magic and grinned.

"My turn."

And in a matte of seconds, Pinkie and Shadow were covered in frosting, where those extra cupcakes came from we will never know but we do know this.

Red frosting stains white hoodies, buck!!

A/N: Lets give a big round of applause for SomeAsian2347 for the songs and helping me out of the block. GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK BUDDY! Hope I made you guys laugh in this chapter. Who would you like to see Lyrical and Shadow spend their afternoon with next? Comment my friend!

Peace.
