Vinyl Scratch- Part 1
“Vinyl Scratch is coming here for a show!” Squealed Rainbow Dash spraying Neon with bits of milk and chewed up cereal when Neon told Dash about the letter he had received in the night.
“Ugh Dash could you at least not talk with your mouth full, I mean I know you like her music and all that,but that’s no excuse for poor manners.” Hissed Neon wiping the mess off of his face. “But yes she wants to see me so she set up a special show here.”
“Wow that’s is so cool, I mean she must really care about you.” Replied Dash once she had swallowed the mouthful of food, she didn’t want to piss Neon off anymore than he already was.
“Yeah, like I said we’ve been friends since preschool and there was even a point in high school where we dated, but then she met Octavia and found her one true love in her, but we’ve never been apart since we were little- except those fourteen months I was “away.” I would even say she’s one of the few reasons I’m still alive, she’s kept me from falling into the darkness; more so now that my father’s gone.” Explained Neon buttering a slice of toast and biting into it.
“So you’re pissed she’s coming why then?” Asked Dash confused on why Neon would be upset to see Vinyl if they truly were that close.
“Because I wanted to escape my past, not have it follow me, and trust me Dash if she can find a reason to stay in Ponyville to keep an eye on me she will; why do you think she moved from our hometown to Canterlot, it wasn’t just for the clubs!” Snapped Neon slamming his hoof on the table. “I mean I may be an adult foal but I don’t need a fucking babysitter, that was the problem I had with my mother once I turned eighteen; she wanted to control my life!”
Dash sighed, stood, headed toward Neon and wrapped a wing around him.
“I can understand the part about your mother, but I think you're overreacting when it comes to Vinyl, she just wants to make sure you're okay. I mean I do it all the time with Fluttershy, it’s not babying you guys, it’s just that we care- that’s what friends do.” Explained Dash pulling Neon into a hug. “If you need to cry go ahead, it’s not being weak to let that mask of yours down in front of me and the others.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that Rainbow Dash.” Snapped Neon as tears began to flow from his eyes.
“If you don’t need me to tell you that then why are you always hiding your emotions from us?” Dash questioned as she brought him closer to her body.
“I... I just, I just don’t know.” Neon curled up into himself as his breath began to come out in short bursts and he began to feel dizzy, and a powerful wave of nausea overcame him. ‘Oh no not this again... I’m having an attack.’
“Neon, hey Neon. Are you okay? Asked Dash backing away slowly, she had an idea of what was going on but she didn’t want to assume and end up making things worse
“I’m.... having.... a...... panic..... attack.” Neon tried getting up but just ended up falling back down when the dizziness took over him again. “Dash.... I don’t want to die.”
After everything’s he’s told me, I knew it, He’s got PTSD. I was wondering when I’d have to deal with this.
“Neon, tell me what do you see, can you make out where you are?” Asked Dash making sure that as she moved closer to the black Pegasus, that she wouldn’t startle him.
“Cloud...house, there’s a table, two chairs and a window, It’s raining outside.” He then made another attempt to stand; he succeeded and made to sit down at the table.
“Neon, I’m going to touch you, are you okay with that?” Dash slowly moved towards Neon once he had nodded, signaling his consent, wrapped her wings around him and hugged. “It’s going to be okay, just try to breath; slowly and,calmly.” She then moved them to the Sofa Neon sitting on her lap, stroking one of her hoofs though his mane.
“I’ve noticed you’ve always have your mane tied into a ponytail, why is that.
“Just... a preference of mine, My mane is really long and so it’s easier.” Neon explained slowly beginning to calm down.
“It’s it okay if I take the tie out, I’d like to see it.” Neon nodded and slowly and carefully pulled the hairband from Neon’s mane allowing it to fall freely, and without the band keeping it bound together Neon mane quickly fell around his face, long enough to reach the floor and reach down his back enough to reach his wings.
“Wow... Neon, how long has it been since you cut your hair?” Asked Dash smiling at how much more handsome the young Stallion was when his hair was down.
“It’s been about... three years I believe, I did it because I wanted to piss my Mother off,she never thought a Stallion could have long hair- I’ve always hated that ridiculous stereotype and so I just haven’t cut it since my Dad died.” Neon took a few deep breaths as he slowly began to come back to his normal self and as he did so he also noticed that his diaper felt quite a bit heavier.
“Neon, I think you need a diapy change.” Giggled Dash as she poked at his now sagging diaper, relatively amused at the fact that the black pegasus was now completely incapable of controlling himself, and that while she loved their “mommy” to death- she had escaped having been affected by the alchemist’s strange potion and losing her choice in using her diapers as her potty.
“Yeah I know.” The Pegasus then proceeded to grab a pair of sweat clothes and a clean diaper out of his bag, then went to get cleaned up and take a shower.

“So where do you want all this stuff to go, Miss Pon3?” Asked one of the earth-pony stagehands as he carried in the last of Vinyl’s A/V equipment in. Desperate to get an answer as he began struggling to keep hold of the awkwardly heavy box.
“Oh, ummm over there if you can.” Replied Vinyl pointing over towards the front of the stage where they had already placed her podium and mixing tables, although as it was a few days until the show the machines were more or less just in a pile instead of anything thing that resembled order. At that the stallion quickly raced over to the pile, dropping the box onto the top unceremoniously
“Hey, yo watch it dude, there’s more DJing equipment in that box then your whole year salary is worth!.” Snapped Vinyl having been brought out of checking out the decor and light by the Stallion’s ruckus.
“Well sorry, miss high and mighty unicorn... but you try carrying sixty five pound boxes without your magic.” Grumbled the stallion to himself as he left the closed nightclub leaving Vinyl to herself and her assistant Neon Lights to deal with the rest.

“Good morning everypony.” Midnight smiled as she opened the door and everypony entered the nursery. “How are Mommy’s foals today?” Most of the group replied with positive replies, but Rainbow Dash who was walking with Neon who was still shaking from his panic attack from earlier. “Dashie, what’s wrong with Neon?”
“He’s got P.T.S.D, he had a panic attack earlier.” Dash explained steering the young Pegasus inside and helping him to the play mat.
“I’m sorry Rainbow Dash...:” Began Neon before he was cut of by Midnight.
“You have nothing to be sorry for hun, after everything you’ve been though it’s understandable you’d have developed that... It’s nothing to be ashamed of.” She knelt down beside him and gave him a small hug, making sure that he wasn’t going to tense up or start shaking worse before hugging him tighter.
“Thank you Mommy.” Neon sighed taking deep breaths and trying to get himself back under control as the shaking was all that was really left from his episode earlier that morning.
“Of course my little colt, Mommy’s will always be there for you.” Midnight pulled away from the hug and smiled at them all. “Now what should we play today?”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Vinyl looked around at the stage from down in the area where the guests would be dancing and inspected the lights and other equipment that her and Neon Lights had set up. Being satisfied at their work she returned to the stage proper and smiled at her friend.
“Good work Neon, I just know this is gonna be an awesome show. Hey now that we’re done do you mind if I go hang around Ponyville for a while?”
“Yeah no problem Scratch, I mean we’re way ahead of schedule so you go have some fun, I’m think about the same thing. Might go see what kinda bars the place has to offer and see if I can’t catch a few pretty filles.” Neon smile and walked off stage waving goodbye to Vinyl who began to head towards town to search for Neon.

“Angel never did get into my veggie garden again after that.” Fluttershy laughed as Neon and her played with blocks and Fluttershy told Neon the story of the time Angel continued to get into her vegetable garden and so she planted a ton of Artichokes,Brussel sprouts and Peas causing the small bunny to get such a bad case of the runs that he had to be put in diapers for a whole week.
“Wow, that’s a really funny story Fluttershy!” Neon laughed too as he placed a blue rectangle at the top of their tower, completely oblivious to the fact that he was steadily filling up his diaper with his breakfast from that morning.
“Uh-oh.” Fluttershy giggled as she noticed Neon’s saggy brown tinted diaper when he stood up to go look for some more blocks. “I think some little pony needs his diapy changed.” She then stood too and gave Neon’s by now completely full diaper a pat squishing it against his flank. “Oh my, you really did have to poopy” She giggled as she set up the changing mat and gathered supplies, before lying the black pegasus down and opening his diaper.
“Yeah, but on the positive side my stomach rarely hurts anymore.” He laughed as Fluttershy wiped the mess away from his flank, applied foal powder and lotion, and taped him into a new diaper, this one blue with purple star patterns.
Fluttershy smiled and was about to reply when Midnight came into the playroom for naptime.
“Alright ni-ni time for all little foals and fillies,we don’t want any of you to be cranky after all.” She smiled as she and the other two caregivers walked around gathering up the “foals” and leading them to the nursery to lay down.

Vinyl looked up at the empty cloudhouse and smiled, having already cast a walking on clouds spell she began to levitate herself closer and closer to her goal.
“Wait till he sees me he’s gonna be so stoked.” She hoof pumped and then landed lightly on Dash’s front lawn taking a few minutes to look around and see the sights.
“Damn Ponyville looks rad from up here, too bad these cloud spells take alot outta ya or I’d have to get me one of these, I mean the rainbow water and everything is cool, but the views are to die for.” She then turned around and heading for the door knocking a few times before calling
“Yo, Neon this is the address the post office had for ya, ya home?”
No Answer
“Neon, hmm He must be out and about with somepony, No matter he sticks out like a sore thumb after all I’m sure somepony musta seen him.” And with that she returned to the ground heading back towards Ponyville proper.
A few minutes later Vinyl found herself in the town square, ponies do their business and playing crowded the streets and off to the side Big Macintosh called out in his deep soothing voice.
“Apples, Bright, Juicy, and Delicious apples for sale here.” He smiled as Lyra and Bonbon bought a few passing the bit over to him, which he dropped in the till once the sale was complete. “Ya’ll have a good day now ya’hear.”
“You too Big Mac, thanks again!” Lyra smiled as she and her fillyfriend walked away munching on the fruit.
Hmm seems friendly enough, kinda like a gentle giant. Vinyl thought as she made her way over to the Red earth Stallion, she hadn’t had anything to eat that day and if she was going to be tracking Neon down she might as well do it on a full stomach.
“Hey, What’s up.” Vinyl smiled as she reached the Sweet Apple Acres stall and Big Mac looked at her
“Not much at all Ma’am, care to try some Apples?” He Replied returning the smile.
“Sure, how much?” She asked pulling out some bits
“It’s a bit for three or three for a dozen, bit of a discount for buyin in bulk ya see.” Big Mac pointed at the sign and Nodded.
Vinyl nodded “Makes sense, and as I just got in from Canterlot I am a bit hungry, so I’ll take a couple dozen and you can keep the change.” Smiled Vinyl as she tossed a hooffull of bits his way
“Well thank ya kindly ma’ma, not real used to Canterlot Unicorns being so nice, but it’s a nice change Eeyup.” Macintosh Smiled as he picked up a basket of apples and gave it Vinyl.
“Yes, I get that, I’ve just never really see what the point of being all uppity and stuck up was, but hey, maybe you can help me with something? “ Vinyl took a bite of one of the apples and grinned.
“I do want I can for ya ma'am, what did ya need?” Vinyl took out a picture of Neon and Showed it to him “Oh Neon, Ya Ah know him, he’s ah Friend of A.J’s and Applebloom’s, they’re all over at Midnight’s place, Which ah Imagine ya’ll need directions to if ya’ll never been to Ponyville before, Ummm.. Hey Roseluck, ya’ll mind Showing...”
“Vinyl, Vinyl Scratch.” She smiled taking off her Sunglasses and shaking Mac’s hoof
“Ah Pleasure making your acquaintance Miss Vinyl, Anyho... Rose Ya’ll Mind Shown Miss Vinyl here to way to Midnight’s.”
“Sure, Big Mac. No problem” Smiled The Cream colored mare as she lead Scratch to the Daycare center.
