//------------------------------// // The walk // Story: A scratch further // by Mush Room //------------------------------// picture from rko 509 deviant art *Woomf* “HELLO! Equestrians” said a loud and proud voice, standing on a stage looking upon thousands of mares and colts. “i’m proud to be here to give out Awesome waves of bass drops and wubs”said the mare standing on the stage, listening to the crowd wrar at her in excitement jumping up and down trying to get her attention or just straight up screaming.Colours and colours of ponies flood the stadium in a huge rainbow like mix. the mare standing on the stage then proceeds to lift her forearm and within a split second,she hits a button that reveals a giant ‘bass cannon’ from behind her which then starts playing a loud rhythmic tone, and from within that sound a voice yells “YO! Vinyl Scratch! crank that shit up!” *wub wub wub BOOOM!* A scratch further. Chapter 1,The walk by Mush Room. Music plays its loudest as Vinyl Scratch stands her proudest. Head banging to the music she hears an echoing yet recognizing voice. “Vinyl?” the voice says, Vinyl stands there confused but then ignores it and carries on playing her music to her fans. “Yeah! let’s crank it u-”she then gets cut off. “Vinyl!?” the voice repeats with a more louder tone. “Wahh?” Vinyl mumbles in confusion. “VINYL!!” the voice shouts angrily. Vinyl’s world then starts to warp around her until she is flying wide awake out of her bed “Whaaaa! what what! uhhh” She jumps up in fright and starts looking around quickly and then falls off her bed. *thump* “oww!” “Good! you’re awake” the voice says happily “Octavia, w-whhhhhhhy” Vinyl groans as she gets up from slamming her face in the floor. “Because, I have my Canterlot Cello opening and I need you to attend, my darling” Octavia answered in a sweet manor. “ughhhhhh why would you be doing your Cello stuff this early anyway” Vinyl said still trying to wake up. “it’s 3:30, besides I don’t have it until tomorrow, so you can sleep on the train” Octavia replied. Vinyl then stood up shaking her head to wake herself up but still a bit buzzed from the slam she pulled off earlier. Vinyl stood there staring at the beautiful mare infront of her, a short moment of silence occurred until Octavia saw a small smirk rise on Vinyl’s face. “what is it?” Octavia asked with a raised brow. *pffffft* “Ohh god! Vinyl how dare you!” Octavia shouted, covering her snout, hiding a small smirk on her face as well. Vinyl however was laughing on the side of the bed while she watched Octavia walk out the room. “just get dressed please!” Octavia said covering her snout. “I am!” vinyl replied bursting in laughter. *** The two mares set off down the street, heading towards the train station. On the way they walked through the main town past the shops, greeting friends who were walking by and talking to each other. Many were either busy setting their little shelters to sell bits and pieces or just constantly talking. “Man I’m pretty hungry ” Vinyl said, rubbing her rumbling belly “think we can stop at that sugarcube place?”. “Hmmm, ok, but! nothing too over priced ” Octavia answered handing her some bits “and make it quick please”. “yeah, yeah ok i’ll be quick ” Vinyl replied, knowing she doesn’t get paid very often from her dj carrer, but when she does she gets paid quite allot. *** Vinyl entered the shop and instantly dropped her jaw. “Ohh sweet Celestia” she said to herself while she was drooling. There were lots, I mean lots of baked goodies and assorted food sitting on the tables and shelves. Vinyl sat there dreaming of eating everything, she was just about to buy the whole shop, until she realized what Octavia said to her. ‘nothing too over priced’ Vinyl remembered. “Ohh, man but there’s so much good food!” she murmured to herself. She got interrupted from her thoughts when suddenly a bright pink earth pony jumped out in front of her. “HI! I’m pinkie pie!, can I help you get some scrumptious yummy gummy treats!?” the pink pony asked her all happy and excited “AHH! woah, dude you scared me” Vinyl said in subtle fright. “Oh, sorry I tend to do that allot! everypony says that I scared them so bad that-”she trailed off talking about other ponies and how she scared them to death with her excitement and such. “-was wondering how I did it but, it’s a special secret” the pony then whispered. “Uhu? Well, I just want to buy something cheap and delicious” she said while a bit confused at the other pony. “Vinyl, darling can you hurry it up please!” Octavia shouted ever so slightly from outside to get Vinyl’s attention. “And fast” Vinyl explained to the happy pink mare. Pinkie Pie (as she is called) then bolted her way into the kitchen, Vinyl stood there thinking did she just run off!? suddenly the happy pony zoomed back out of the kitchen and brought out a beautiful and delicious looking cupcake within seconds. “Here you go” she said cheerily. “Ohh, man that looks good” Vinyl said almost drooling on the floor ”so, uh, how much?” she said worrying how much it would cost, despite the fact it looked like you would have to pay hundreds to just touch it. “Only two bits!” Pinkie Pie said, with a big smile on her face. “Really?..thats-thats great” Vinyl said in a surprising tone “well, ok here you go” she said giving Pinkie Pie the bits she had floating in front of her,and then walked out the store, happy that she got something to eat......finally. “I said quickly, darling, not a whole day” Octavia said in a teasing voice. “sorry I got caught up from somepony” Vinyl replied. “Pinkie Pie?” Octavia said with a slight sigh. “ye-yeah how did you-”. “she does that allot” Octavia interrupted ”come on we have to go now, my rehearsal for the opening is soon” she then added quickly. “yeah,*nom* we shuld gess mofing” she said with a mouth full of cupcake, spitting tiny bits out from her mouth which ended up splatting against Octavia’s face. “don’t speak with your mouth full, please darling”. *** The two were still walking, but nearing their destination. While they walked, a blue Pegasus flew past. She turned her head to the two ponies walking by, in realization of who they were. “Hey! Vinyl scratch!” said the Pegasus floating back towards them. “Huh? Holy crap! Rainbow Dash!” Vinyl said in a surprised tone “man it’s been a while since I saw you last”. “yeah, longer than I thought” Rainbow said with a chuckle. “Ahh, the famous Rainbow Dash, Vinyl has talked a lot about you” Octavia said. “Oh yeah, bout what?” Rainbow asked in curiosity. “O, well just how good of a flier you are and how she knew you from her high school, and such” Octavia replied hesitantly. A slight blush grew on Rainbows face when she remembered what she used to do with Vinyl in their high school, and not knowing how much Vinyl told Octavia. “So!,uhh where are you guys head’n anyway? ” Rainbow said quickly changing the subject. “Oh yeah, we’re just going to the train station for one of Octavia’s uh, cello thingies?” Vinyl said staring at Octavia waving a hoof trying to get her to figure out what she was saying. “My cello opening, dear. Yes we are going to the Canterlot castle, for I am perform for the princess” Octavia said proudly. “Oh yeah, that sounds um, great?” Rainbow said slightly un-interested in the whole instrumental talk. “Would you like to come along, Ms Rainbow Dash?” Octavia suggested. “um?, no thanks, i’v got plans with FireFly, were having a flight race together in the outbacks!” “Oh thats ok Rainbow Dash, it was just a suggestion” Octavia said, though slightly disappointed. She doesn’t get many friends coming by her Cello performances, besides Vinyl that is. “Woah, are you still seeing that dude! man I haven't seen him since he showed up Gilda at that crazy flight race back in high school!” Vinyl said, a bit surprised that he’s still alive from all the stuff he’s been through. “yeah! he’s still pretty awesome, but will never be as awesome as me when I beat his flank at the race” Rainbow replied all soaked in her glory “well sorry guys, I don’t want to keep him waiting, besides you guys are here”. Vinyl and Octavia looked away from Rainbow and saw the big sign that read ‘Ponyville train station’ they were both surprised how fast it seemed to go by while they were talking. “Oh, that was fast.” Octavia said. “Alright guys i’ll catch you’s up later kay” Rainbow Dash said before giving Vinyl a quick brohoof. “Alright Rainbow, seya” Vinyl said releasing her hoof from Rainbows. Rainbow Dash then gave a nod to Octavia and flew off in the direction of the distant sun princess Celestia cast upon them. “She was a real nice pony” Octavia said smiling to the blue Pegasus as she flew off in the distance slowly shrinking to a black dot. “you just wait till you get to know her properly” Vinyl chuckled.
