Starting Over

The day after Spectra woke up, the doctors said he could go. He just had to wear the bandages and have somepony help him replace them once every 2 days. After signing some papers, Spectra grabbed his bags and guitar case, ready to head home. He and Rainbow walk out of the hospital and begin their walk to the cloud house. Spectra couldn't fly long distances due to his injuries, but flying for a few seconds is alright. On the way home, a white coated unicorn with a frizzy electric blue mane and a music note on her flank walked up to Spectra.

"Hey, dude! Is that a guitar?"

Spectra notices that she was wearing some strange purple tinted sunglasses.

"Yeah, it is. Why? It's not for sale if that's what you want."

The unicorn shakes her head. "Nah, man, nah. I was wondering if you would wanna come down to my club and play tonight? Names Vinyl Scratch."

Rainbow had a fangasm. "Omygoshomygoshomygosh! The Vinyl Scratch? Equestria's best DJ?"

Vinyl nods and grows a smug grin. "So ya heard of me?"

'Holy Celestia, why does that sound familiar?'

"Are you kidding? Who hasn't heard of Vinyl Scratch, DJ-Pon3?"

Spectra slowly raises his hoof.

"I haven't heard of Vinyl before now."

Rainbow looked like her jaw would fall off.

Spectra raises his hooves defensively in the air.

Vinyl steps forward. "So, ya interested in coming down and playing?"

Spectra thinks about the offer. 'In one hoof I am stupidly shy and hate going in front of crowds, in the other hoof I want to impress Dash and Vinyl....hmmmm....'

Spectra turns to Vinyl. "Ok, where's your club?"

Vinyl points down Mane Street. "It's the big black building near Sugarcube Corner, ya can't miss it."

(Authors Note: According to my non-existent map of Ponyville, Town Hall, Sugarcube Corner, and Twilights Library are on Mane Street.)

Spectra nods. "Ok, later Vinyl!"

"Woah, dude hang on!"

"What?"

Vinyl lowers her shades. Spectra was completely shocked at what he saw.

Vinyl had the same eye colour as Spectra.

Blood red.

Now normally, for any other pony, it wouldn't be such a big deal.

But, Spectra's eye colour is classified as one of Equestria's rarest eye colours.

Anyway, back to the story.

"Do you know how to use a turntable, dude?"

Spectra puffs out his chest a bit. "I know how to use one, yeah. But I prefer guitar."

Vinyl looks disappointed. "Well, dude. It's a party club. You need to play club music."

Spectra waves a hoof. "Don't worry, I'll find a song. See ya Vinyl!"

Rainbow waves. "Bye, Vinyl!"

(Author's Note: Not much Dash in that conversation, eh?)

Rainbow turns to Spectra. "I can't wait to hear you voice again! It was so good the first time I heard it."

Spectra looks away, he was blushing and didn't want Dash noticing.

(Authors Note: DAAAAAWWW.)

Spectra and Dash reach the cloud house in about 10 minutes. Dash lets Spectra fly up first, in case he falls. Thankfully, he doesn't. Rainbow follows her coltfriend up to her house and inside.

Spectra was sitting on the couch, waiting for her to come and sit next to him. She does, and puts her head on his lap.

Spectra and Dash just sit there. Spectra brushing her mane with his hoof, and she was just feeling lucky to have him.

"Uhm...Rainbow..."

Rainbow looks up.

"Yes, Spectra?"

"....I don't know how to say this, so I will just say it, ok?"

Rainbow feared the worst. 'Oh no! He's dumping me?!'

Spectra blushed, but this time he didn't look away.

"You....you have a wingboner."

Rainbow took her head off his lap and sat up. And sure enough, both of her wings were fully erect.

If this was a week ago when Spectra was just friends with Dash, he would be rolling all over the place laughing his head off.

But they are no longer 'friends'. So they were both quiet embarrassed.

"uuuuhhhm...."

"um......"

Rainbow lies back on his lap.

"Look, who cares? No one's around to see it."

"Hey Rainbow?"

"Yeah?"

Spectra gets off the couch, Rainbow gets off his lap.

"Can I see some of your moves?"

Rainbow looked at him suspiciously. "We only just started dating."

Spectra chuckles. "No,no no no. I meant your stunts. Ya know, the ones you practise for the Wonderbolts."

Rainbow flies outside, Spectra following.

"Sure! I need to practise anyway"

The 2 of them just raced each other and performed stunts in the air until night time came.

"Wanna head on over to the club?"

Spectra shrugs. "Sure. Lets go."

As they're flying down Mane Street, Spectra was having confidence problems.

"Just pretend no one is watching....keep cool, keep cool...."

As they stop outside the front of the club, Rainbow see's Spectra looking nervous.

She sighs, reaches over, and snaps his neck.

She pulls Spectra into a big hug.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to do it." She whispers.

Spectra whispers back. "I want to do it."

They break the hug. Spectra gives Rainbow a small kiss on the cheek, and they both walk inside.

What can I say, I hate describing rooms.

Anyways, pretend there is no one in the picture. Thats what the room currently looks like, except Vinyl is on stage getting her equipment set up.

Rainbow rushes ahead to meet up with Vinyl.

Spectra nods his head. 'Dat flank....'

Spectra gets a grip and goes on stage.

"Alright! You said you can play music with a turntable, right? Well here. Give it a go!"

Spectra gets behind the turntable, Vinyl and Dash are standing in front of him.

Spectra grabs a vinyl record, and places it on the turntable. Then a wicked beat comes from the turntable.

Vinyl and Dash are cheering him on as he plays. When the song finishes, Vinyl steps forward.

"Alright, lets hear how you are with a guitar."

Spectra retrieves his guitar and sits down on a stool. He preps the guitar on his lap and plays a song that he loved for ages.

(Authors Note: I'm running out of songs here! DX)

Spectra get's off the stool and looks at the mares star struck faces.

"I think you will do a great job tonight, Spectra. Oh! Here they come!"

Ponies of all kinds start flooding the room.

Now go back to the club photo. Thats what the room now looks like except the people are ponies.

Spectra gets behind the turntable and looks out over the crowd. He starts feeling nervous until his eyes land on Rainbow Dash. She wore a massive smile and mouthed "Show them what you can do." He grows a big grin.

"Let's do this!"
