What If: My Second Life

CHAPTER 7: Drop That Bass

Having nothing else to do, Jace decided to go over to Vinyl's house to hang out for a bit. He heard she had a concert later on that night, and wanted to see if he could possibly go on stage with her, now that would awesome!

Approaching the big house that Vinyl lives in, a thought donned on him. What would his thing be for the stage? Vinyl's thing was of course using vinyl records. My thing was...UGH I can't think! Maybe Vinyl will be able to help me in this confusing endeavor.

Having all this stress and confusion was making my head spin! Honestly it's...GAH! Mixed emotions! WORDS! Oh great! I'm turning into Coal! This day just keeps on getting better and better.

I soon arrive at Vinyl's house and rang the doorbell, leaning on the doorway and waiting for her to answer. I started thinking about what my thing could be on stage. Maybe something scary, like jumping from the rafters and hanging myself while being connected to a safety harness! Nah, that might scare the hell outta everypony. Or, I could swoop in wearing some tights and do something heroic each concert! Pffft, I couldn't see myself wearing spandex! Oh Lord, that image just make me puke a little. WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT?! WORRRRDS!

After that short talk in my head, I saw Vinyl poke her head out and smile at me with those gorgeous ruby-like eyes. Oh LORD those eyes! They were sparkling like one of Rarity's gems. I couldn't look away, they had me in a trance. My eyelids had closed halfway and I had a goofy grin on my face. I guess Vinyl noticed this and started to giggle.

“Oh, come here 'wubber' boy!” She said with a smile, trotting over to me and hugging around my lower body. She snuggled into my stomach and let out a sigh of content. I had minor bruising there and it did hurt, but it didn't hurt enough to stop the hug. She was so damn cute! Honestly, I could hug on this pony all day and not get tired of it!

Eventually the hug ended (aww...) and we both went into the large house, closing the door behind us as we entered. I was walking right behind Vinyl and I swear that mare was teasing me! She was shaking her hips, acting all sexy. Honestly, I couldn't look away! It was much different then when Coal was staring at Fluttershy's flank but, this was my marefriend! Totally different situation!

Again, she caught up on this and teased me even more. She would lift her tail halfway and then lower it again before getting a look at her privates. I heard her laugh and I had to get up next to her. “You're an evil girl you know this right?” I said looking over at her with my amazing poker face. She just stuck her tongue out at me.

“Aww, common! You gotta loosen up there Jace!” She nudged my hand and moved her head so my hand was resting on her head. I caught onto this and started to stroke her blue mane. It was soft to the touch like silk, and it felt warm.

“You are so cute Vinyl. How did a human like me ever deserve a mare like you?” She just looked up at me with a smile, giving me the 'bedroom eyes.'

“Hehe, well, I guess you were just yourself...I like that in a guy.. Honesty. You didn't pretend to be something your not and that's really what I like. I had some real characters come up to me either saying they were the prince of Equestria or the son of the richest pony in Equestria. I really got sick and tired of all the fakers. You were just, honest.”

I had to stop and kneel down to hug Vinyl after hearing this. I buried my face into her neck and I started to cry silently. She started to worry for me and pulled me away from her. “Jace? What's wrong was it..Something I said?”

I shook my head and caressed her cheek a bit, forcing a smile. “No that's.. *sniff* Just the most honest thing anyone has ever said to me all my life. I couldn't begin to tell you how many people lied to me about serious matters.” I kissed her forehead and hugged her close again, closing my eyes. I could remember all those times people lied to me, I just couldn't will myself to say them. There was a time where his parents lied that he was their blood child. He learned when he was fourteen that he was adopted. He couldn't wait till he was out of that house.

After a good five minutes of sitting there, crying, we kept going around the house till we reached her room. She flung open the door and jumped on her bed, sighing and looking over at me. “You gonna join me?” She asked me with a smile. I couldn't say no to a more better invitation!

I sat on the bed and then slowly started to lay down so as not to hurt myself. I sighed once getting my head on a pillow and Vinyl moved over to me to cuddle. I just stroked her mane and we sat there for a good while.

“Hey Vi..”

“Hmm?”

“I was wondering what my DJ thing could be.. Yours is using vinyl records. I was thinking of some stuff on my way here but.. I thought most of it was dumb.”

Vinyl looked at me and closed her eyes, then a sly smile crawled onto her face. “Hmmm~ I got an idea I think we could try out. Might need to stop by Rarity's shop but we can work something out.” She stared into my eyes again. This time, we had all the time in world to stare at each other. It was just pure magic.

“You gonna tell me about what your idea was?” I asked her. She shook her head out of that trance that she had with my emerald green eyes. She looked slightly nervous.

“Uhh..Do you have any like..Creepy songs on that MP3 of yours?”

I nodded and pulled out my I-Pod, sticking an earbud into her ear and playing the song Enmity of the Dark Lord. She smirked and looked at me. “Perfect..”

* * * *

The stage was dark, everypony had calmed down to the point where there was only crickets chirping. The stage filled with a white smoke as Enmity of the Dark Lord started playing and Jace walked out on stage wearing a black cloak with a veil over his face. There was a roar of approval from the crowd and as the song reached the point of the chanting, a light lit up a choir of ponies, singing the chanting to the song. As the song reached another high point, Jace lifted his hand and made it look like he was levitating the headphones on the DJ table over to him and put them on his head. He slowly walked over to the table and brought his hand up again, levitating Vinyl from backstage and bringing her out. The real reason was that Vinyl was doing all this herself with her magic. She had her head down, looking tired and hurt. Ponies gasped when a noose was strapped to her neck. “MWAHAHAHA! Any last words you pathetic pony?!”

Vinyl looked up at Jace and smirked, tearing the noose with her horn and falling from taking the magic away. She looked up at him with a smirk. “I'd like to say...Drop...That...Bass...” Right at that point, Jace hit a button on the DJ table and the loud ringing of a bass was heard throughout the entire complex where the concert was being held at. The stage got dark again and pyrotechnics flared up as Jace removed his cloak, revealing his black tank-top and his baggy grunge pants that just made Rarity gag when she made them. He pulled down some shades he had brought along and started to mix the music, alongside Vinyl. That was an amazing night.

“Ugh... What in Equestria?” I looked around to see I was in the hotel room, on the floor. I saw crushed cans of what looked like beer around me. I sat up and groaned from the headache I had. “What in Celestia happened last night?” I thought back to the concert going off without a hitch and then the after party, well, some of it at least. I didn't remember much, but I think I remembered where Vinyl was. I got up and stumbled a bit, then caught myself on the wall. I started moving my way to a hotel room and knocked on the door.

“Unnn...Five more minutes mom!” Was the response from behind the door. Yup, that's Vinyl's voice. I opened the door and looked inside to see Vinyl buried under cans of that beer. I stumbled my way over and pushed all the cans off of her to lay down next to her. I pulled her close and she just groaned. “Ugh...Don't..Move me..” She opened her eyes a bit to see who was holding her and gave a weak smile. “You party hard..”

I smirked. “Had a lot of practice back at home..” With a kiss, I was out like a light.

Author's Note: Well there you have it! Hopefully a Jace scene that does not SUCK. I really put a lot into this chapter, hope ya'll like it! If you don't know what the song is that was playing at the concert (Enmity of the Dark Lord) Look it up on Youtube. It would be something like 'The Binding Of Isaac Music – Enmity of the Dark Lord. Really great track and it works perfectly with the scene! Anyway, I gotta hit the hay, school tomorrow!
