The more days go by

we interrupt our current Programming to enter the mind of one Vinyl Scratch....enjoy

well, after sending that letter, i simply waited.
but somehow, i knew exaxctly what was going on in canterlot.
with my trademark cheeky grin emblazoned on my face, i took a walk.
i stopped by the Music shop, grabbing a new pair of drumsticks.
"these'll do nicely" i grinned after paying the store clerk.
i then stopped over at a coffee shop. watching the world go by, i could see couples walking together, tails intertwined.
i felt a slight pang of jealousy. yeah... even the best can get jealous.

my smile didnt falter. until of course... i saw him.
the prick who made my life a hell for 6 months before i left. "Pokey Pierce" i spat in disgust.
"Vinyl Scratch, i assume you've met my"
"Don't care, miss... can i talk to you for a second?"
"no way" the couple walked off.
i simply stayed put, finishing my coffee.

Pokey Pierce was once a sweet colt, until he got involved with the wrong crowd.
he's the reason why i dont DJ anymore. I was still hurt by the betrayal sure...
but even so... he broke my heart... just like the others before him.
"man, since when did i get so.... fucked up" i huffed to myself.
carrying on with my walk, i was quickly bumped into by a timid grey coated, white maned Stallion.
"oh man, i-i-i'm so sorry miss Scratch" he stammered nervously.
"Thats okay dude, just relax," i smiled as i helped him up. "and dont call me Miss scratch... thats my mother" i grumbled.
he blushed slightly wait... he blushed? and why the hell am i blushing? i thought to myself.
"d-do you wanna...m-maybe go out s-some time?" he stammered again.
"straight forward...." he looked as though he was waiting for a shot at his rapidly declining self-esteem.
"sure, why the hay not, Live in the moment right?" i smiled.

"ummm... h-how about we...g-go to that F-fancy resturaunt which had just opened" he was definately trying to beat his stammer, the poor guy. "um...sure, that actually sounds quite romantic" i blushed, i couldnt help it... there was something about this Colt that just seemed so... genuine.
i was never really one for romance... but maybe i could give it a try.

"you know the house on that hill over there?"
"y-yeah... theres supposed to be a... mm...a mm-monster living there isnt there?
i suddenly chuckled "buddy, Dont beleive the hype, that Monster is actually a pretty nice guy...just highly misunderstood"
i explained to him the origins of my bizarre, Human friend. "other than that, i'd say Dont hurt Luna infront of him"
i finished with a chuckle. "so, yeah if you want to pick me up at say 6:30pm?"
"oh s-sure" he smiled. little did i know, this night was going to be very interesting.

5:30pm, the alarm went off on Robbies phone. i was pretty thankful that he shown me how to set it up.
after turning it off, i decided to get ready.
it didnt take long, i threw on a simple red dress that complimented my coat.
i sighed as i dolled myself up. for some unknown reason my heart began to flutter.
i was nervous. "bloody hell!" I exclaimed as i sat down and waited.
the newest band members finally turned up. luckily Ditzy, who had become a regular visitor decided to look after them for me. "i'll have to pay you back at some point Ditz" i grinned.
"three words, Banana. Nut. Muffins" she chuckled.

there was another knock on the door. as i opened it, i simply smiled with a slight blush. celestia damnit its like i'm some lovestruck...filly..in a badly written....oh well thats just fucking "Great! your here!" i grinned sheepishly.
he stood opposite me with an equally sheepish smile. as we set off i decided to break the ice. "so... you know my name, but i don't know yours" he simply squeaked out an apology "hey its okay, every one forgets at some point"
"my name... its...well" he suddenly got quiet.
"i'm sorry but...what?" i placed a hoof on his shoulder.
"its Cello Harmonica" he sighed, expecting a full blown fan-fest from me.
i never gave it to him. "huh, who'da thunk it" i sighed. clearly seeing his face light up.
"you're not g-going to act all... erm...like a f-f-fanfilly are you?"
i shrugged my shoulders, "depends... do you want me to?" he shook his head violently.
"oh thats good" i smiled.
we had arrived at the resturaunt. Sunstreak simply smiled, "Hello Vin, the usual spot?"
"oh yes please Sunnie" i grinned at the waitress.

i noticed he began to relax a little bit. "so.. how come your stutter is so bad?"
his face turned a deeper shade of red. "we-well i... always get nervous and st..st...stammer around beautiful mares"
i blushed, i hadnt been called beautiful in years. "well... maybe i can help you get over your stammer" i gave him a kind smile.

after the meal, we had another little walk. unknowingly we wandered to a hill near the lake.
he began to look up at the night sky. "look there" he said as he pointed to a shooting star.
"what am i..." i watched as it danced across the sky. "it..its"
"just like you" Cello said as he looked at me.

i was always a little bit jealous of Luna, hell... what filly wouldnt be. but now? i've found my own Colt.
"are you saying you've always..."
"d-didnt know how t-to approach you" Cello smiled weakly.
"you mean to say...that"
"i know... i s-s-sound like a s-stalker dont i"
i started to laugh. "doesnt matter, least you asked me out"
he began to laugh aswell. i don't know why but... he just made me feel alot better.
"w-well, i should p-probably get you home" he smiled as he began to walk me back.

as we walked home he told me of his sole dream.
"heh but...with a st..st..stutter like this, i highly d-doubt i'll get anywhere"
"well, you never know, " we neared the door. i kissed him on the cheek. "and...thank you for tonight"
he blushed, and soon was... well cantering down the road, singing.
i simply leaned against the door, listening to the voice which could almost rival my Brother's.
"Robbie... i think i just found or second vocalist" i grinned.

Vinyl needs love too
