What a Coincidence

The music cuts off as I step onto the stage and make my way to the microphone. All eyes on me. I stop at the mic and fly up and position it so I can stand and speak. Everypony in 3-C watched in silence and curiosity as I now stood there with a smile on my face. "Hello. Before you all ask... Yes I'm really not supposed to be here... But I'm not here to perform... No." Electric sparks began jumping and crackling all over me. "May I present..." I focused really hard on myself and a load crack of thunder sounded. "DJ PON-3!" I jumped back and landed next to Vinyl whom was raised from under the stage by a elevating panel. The music began to play after Vinyl flipped a switch.

After Vinyl's time was up and she flipped off the music and being the last Dj for the night got her and myself quite a bit of attention. A few ponys asked for me to sign an autograph next to Vinyl's. I looked at Vinyl who just shrugged nonchalantly. I signed a few sheets of paper and a hoofball hat. ST connected with an electrified Z in the back. That will be my mark. I'll have to draw it later for myself.' After signing the pieces of paper and the hat with the symbol I came up with.

"Where did you come up with that?" I turned my attention to Vinyl who was looking over my shoulder while I drew the symbol again on a scrap of paper that a pony gave me.

"Right here. I thought about it and my brain just kinda spewed out the idea of my initials and an electrified Z. I know what I could be called when I'm on stage with you now."

"Really? What?"

"EZ-3." Vinyl smiled and nodded.

"Pretty good Z. I'll call ya Z now when we're out side kay?" I nodded and watched the rest of the night pass faster than lighting. Soon it was time for me and a pretty tipsy Vinyl to go home.

-Outside of 3-C-

It was 3 in the morning and it was still pitch black out. I helped Vinyl walk as she gave me a set of half-assed directions. I rolled my eyes as she fell over for the third time in the last 10 minutes. I helped her up and got her to stand straight again. I could zap her but then again I don't know how much power I'd need to make somepony not drunk. I may be smart but I'm not that smart. I started to hear a string instrument's sounds resonate through the street.

"Followoe thaat sooouund." Vinyl said her voice slurred and she started to stubble towards it. I watched her stumble forward almost knocking things over. I shrugged and followed her to a rather big looking condo like building. 'hm... Well I guess I'm living here for now but something tells me that... Nah I must be imagining things.' When we got to the door vinyl passed out from the alcohol consumption. I roll my eyes again and knock on the in the beat of Vinyl's song she played in the club. The music stopped abruptly and the sound of hurried clicks sounded from inside. 'Hm... Well I guess it's her mom's house? Maybe... She didn't tell me anything about family... Maybe a roommate? No... Or a lover hm... That one seems legit.' I closed off my thoughts as the door opened and very familiar brown mare is standing in the door.

"Miss Octavia? You live with Vinyl?" 'No way. There is no way these 2 get along. If they do how in Luna's court do they do it. I mean ones a proper mare and the other is a parting disc jockey. This makes no sense.'

"Sleet? Your father trusted Vinyl to take care of you?" Octavia looks down at the unconscious unicorn and sighed. "How many did she have?"

"Six."

"Six?! Of what?" 'Uh oh... She in trouble. Think of a drink. Come on think, think.'

"Six small shots of Sarsaparilla." I gave her a sheepish smile as she picked up Vinyl and placed her on the couch.

"I'm going to bed now, I have to shopping to do tomorrow." With that Octavia went into a room and all was silent again.

I looked at Vinyl sleeping on the couch and then looked for a blanket around the room. I sighed and crept into the hallway and open up the first door and looked inside. Blankets and pillows. Jackpot!' I pull out about 6 pillows and 3 blankets and dragged them over to the couch. I lifted Vinyl's head and put 2 pillows where her head was and let her head fall into them. I lifted 2 of the blankets and covered her up with them and nodded to myself. 'Good job. Now your turn.' I arranged the pillows and blanket jumped in and fell asleep.

Author's Note

Sorry for it not being as long. This chapter is a transition into a new environment and the next one will mor than likely be rather lengthy. Also a hint of advice it would be for you benefit the that you read chapter 5 with the dark color scheme. Just a recommendation because I'm using colored text in some areas that will be hard to read on others and the dark backdrop makes the words pop.
