What If: My Second Life

CHAPTER 3: The New Skrillex

Author's Note: This part of the story takes place a bit more than three days later after meeting the mane six ponies, I'm just to lazy to put them in here. If you want to know, you can go read Coal's chapters meeting all the ponies. Also, I want to stick on Jace for a bit. This chapter is going to mainly revolve around him. Also, this has a lot of Dubstep references in it that you may not get. You've been warned!

“GAH...The buck?!” I yelled as Iwoke up in the middle of the night.

I looked over at the clock. Fucking Three AM.. Goddammit.. I hope I didn't wake any pony up..

“*sigh* Gotta lay off the cupcakes..” I said, running a hand through my hair. I remembered then that I needed to get a new straightener. My hair looked retarded as hell. Curse my cowlick! At least Rarity made me a new fedora to wear. I owned an awesome Hard Rock Cafe fedora at home, but this one was BETTER. I was white and black silk with a striped pattern with a bow on the side. If I had a matching suit, I would have looked like I belonged in the mafia!

Coal was laying next to me, still asleep. I looked over at him and just stared for a few. Not that he was attractive (GOD NO) but just because I've never seen him sleep. I wanted to know what he looked like asleep so I could know when it was safe to talk to myself about things that have happened. Good plan I thought.

After a while, I put my head back down on the pillow and closed my eyes, almost instantly falling asleep.

* * * *

The next morning, I woke up early. I needed to go out and exercise, I couldn't stay cooped up for long.

I got up and threw on the clothes rarity made for me. They were awesome. I had a tattoo of Deadmau5 on my arm and she made a silk patch on my pants of Deadmau5. It was freaking COOL. I threw on my fedora and peeked outside to see if any pony was out there. All clear. I walked outside into the cold morning and started to jog in place a bit.

I pulled out my i-pod and turned on some Skrillex too run to. I pulled the fedora down a bit and started my run. I ran every day but for the fast five days, I haven't gotten to run much. Twilight was so worried that no pony would stand to see the sight of me just yet.

As I ran for a few miles, I passed what looked like a stage and just had to stop and look. I went wide eyed at the sight that I saw and had to gawk. “A DJ booth?!”

I smiled wide and ran up the stage to the booth. I had my music baring so I couldn't really hear well. I pulled out the headphones from my I-pod and stuck them into the headphone jack of the table. I looked around for a place to put my I-Pod then remembered I always had an adapter with me. I pulled it out of my pocket and set that up as well. I popped on some unmixed music and it started to play out of the table and blare in my ears. I had no idea of the pony behind me.

“Uhh.. Excuse me?” The pony asked, raising a brow at the creature before her. She had never seen anything like it, but it was playing music. She liked this creature already. She sat down on her flank and watched the creature perform.

I smiled and cracked my neck and my fingers as I started to do my magic. Sliding the sliders and making the music distort the way I wanted it too. I chuckled to myself as I turned on a thing called Techno Kitten Adventure (LOOK IT UP) and it had some hardcore songs on it that I could mix.

The pony was listening to what the creature was doing. It clearly knew what it was doing. There were then various noises that sounded like a cat and the creature was distorting the sounds and playing a song that sounded happy.

I worked hard to mix the sing the best I could. I didn't notice in the middle of my mixing, I had waken up half of Ponyville and ponies started to gather to see what was going on. In the middle of my music ecstasy, I had no idea this was going on. I soon got bored of the song and turned down the music to a fade and then quickly moved to some Skrillex. “Time for the First of the Year...” I said to myself as I was starting to mix Equinox. I sustained the drop and added in some of my lyrics that I could change the pitch and vibrations off with this mixing table.

The pony chuckled and walked up to the table and stood up, putting on some headphones with her magic and started to mix as well.

I was soon starting to notice that I wasn't doing that and turned to catch a glimpse of blue hair and white coat. I turned back, not paying any attention, then I went wide eyed and turned back to face none other than Vinyl Scratch. My mouth dropped when I saw her mixing the music as well as I was.

Vinyl looked over at me and winked with a smile, sliding her goggles down. I could only blush at this and just keep mixing.

At this time, a huge crowd had formed as were actually starting to go nuts over this. Two great DJ's were going at it on one song. They were starting to like this creature a lot.

* * * *

Coal woke up to the sound of hardcore techno coming from outside. “What in the name of...” He got up and walked to the window, looking outside and seeing a large crowd of ponies congregated at a stage. Twilight was already up and was behind her kitchen counter.

Twilight smiled at him. “Good morning Coal!”

“GAH. Gees Twilight, don't scare me like that? Who is that outside anyway?” (He was giving her grief)

“Well, that is the one and only Vinyl Scratch.. She has a nickname but I don't know how to say it... It's got a couple numbers in it that are supposed to mean letters I guess.”

Coal squinted to get a better look and gasped at what he saw. “Oh Celestia.. That's JACE up there!”

Twilight almost choked on her apple hearing that. She ran over to the window and looked out. “WHAT IS HE DOING?!”

Coal facepalmed snd looked down. “*sigh* He's playing dubstep..”

* * * *

In a good 6 minutes of hardcore techno beats, Jace turned down the song volume until it faded. He got a lot of cheers from the ponies that had crowded around the stage. He looked out and saw Pinkie, Applejack, Dash, and Rarity all stamping their hooves in approval.

“So Mr. Whatever You Are, you got a name?” Jace was startled by the loudness of the voice that blared from the speakers. He looked over at Vinyl who was smiling at him, next to a mic.

I smirked and leaned down to the mic next to me. “My name is DJ CX.. That's short from Craimer Xegen..” The ponies cheered at his response and started chanting CX! CX! CX! CX!

* * * *

Alright, not going to lie, BEST.DJ SESSION.EVER! I got to mix with the one and only, Vinyl Scratch! I was about to fucking loose it when she came over and bro-hoofed me.

After the ponies had left the stage, Jace and Scratch both went backstage to talk a little.

“Man Craimer! You can mix forwards and backwards huh?” Scratch pulled up her goggles and hopped on a subwoofer that was twice her size.

I chuckled. “Well, I did have a lot of practice.. But, in all seriousness, my real name is Jace.. I just use Craimer Xegen as my DJ name..” He blushed when she started to giggle a little. Oh dear lord that giggle made the brony inside him just die and go to heaven. Oh wait, HE'S IN BRONY HEAVEN!

“Well Jace, your not from around here are you? Tell me about yourself.” She made herself comfortable and laid down on the giant amp.

I started to explain to her where I came from, what I did as a profession, and how I ended up here five days ago due to a spell from Twilight. She thought the story was quite entertaining to say the least. She especially liked the part of when he nailed a job at the Apple's orchard when he bucked a tree like one of the ponies.

“Well, it seems you've been getting along just fine here Jace! But I have to ask, what was that thing hooked up to my mixing board that played the music. I use records myself.”

I pulled out my I-Pod and pulled out the headphones. “Well, this is called an MP3 player back in my world and it can hold a ton of songs on it. I bring around and adapter to hook this up since not all models of mixing boards have a built in dock for this MP3.” I then pulled out the adapter. “This is what helped me play those songs. It's a really nice thing to have when being a DJ. You have all your songs at the press of a button.”

“Need to get me one of those.” Vinyl giggled a little and then told him the story of how she bacame a DJ and started mixing when she was just a fillie. It entertained the heck outta Jace, who already knew this but loved hearing it from the pony herself! Scratch was his top favorite pony of all time in the show. Every time she was in an episode, he fantasized himself being there.

I guess I was daydreaming at this point because Vinyl needed to blast my own music in my ears to get me to snap out of it. I quickly pulled the headphones off and rubbed my ear. “Ow..Sweet mother of Jesus!” Vinyl had fallen over at this point from laughing so hard.

“HAHAHAHAA!~ You shoulda seen the look on your face! BWAHHAHAHA!!”

I smirked to myself and while she was distracted, I slipped the headphones on her and blared the music in her ears. She stopped and winced form the loudness, then I pulled them away, laughing. We both ended up laughing at our situations. I have to say, it was one of the best days I ever had.

Author's Note: Yeah not really a lot like Coal's writing but I had to try my own hand at this! I hope you guys like this kind of stuff and want to see more of the original chapters. I can't just keep writing about Coal and Jace all the time. I give each character a point to branch out and show you guys what their personalities are to see if you can relate to them. Personally, I like that idea. I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say about this!
