Vinyl up to this point had been having quite the day. She had gotten into an argument with her friend then made up. Then she had found out her other friend was a spy. After that she had thought an assassin was coming to take her down. Finally she and the first friend had asked about the whole spy thing which turned out to be true. She decided what she needed was some good old fashioned partying. Which was also her job so that’s important. As she walked to the club she thought about what was going to happen with Derpy.
I wonder if she’s mad I found out? I hope not. I mean it was completely an accident. But it also was revealing her very important secret. I wonder if this P.O.N.E. organization is going to erase my memory or some weird stuff? I should stop worrying about it, she said she would figure it out.
Vinyl reached the front door, pulled it open, and walked in. Lights were flashing different colors, music was playing loudly over the speakers, and almost every pony had let loose and was either dancing or trying to talk to their friends over the music. Vinyl walked up the stairs to the back room and started getting her things ready.
“Next up is DJ PON 3! Give her a round of applause every pony!”
Vinyl heard cheering and stomping on the other side of the wall. The previous DJ walked in the door and nodded to her. She walked out and the crowd cheered louder. Then she started playing. It was surreal. Vinyl never imagined she would be a star DJ of Canterlot, that ponies would cheer and dance when she played music, that the lights would be flashing and changing colors to the beat. Yet here she was. Ponies were stomping and jumping in the air waving their arms. The colored lights in the dark created the best party atmosphere. It seemed like Vinyl was only there for a few minutes when she got the signal to call the next DJ up.
I must have got lost in the playing again.
“Thanks for having me every pony! Come on up LED Hooves!”
Vinyl walked backstage and put her records away. As she was walking out some pony called out to her.
“Vinyl!”
“Uh huh?” Vinyl responded.
“Eggs.” The other pony said.
“Ok thanks for letting me know that.” Vinyl said as she backed away.
Eggs? What is that supposed to mean. Well, I guess that's nothing compared to your friend being a spy. They probably just had too much fruit punch.
Through the darkness Vinyl walked home. She wasn't particularly scared of the dark but tonight it was freaking her out. She felt like eyes unseen were staring her down as she walked. She told herself it was in her imagination and continued on slightly faster. The feeling of being watched didn't go however and now it seemed even worse. Vinyl decided to focus on the road ahead and quickly make her way home without detours. As she reached the front door she took her key out of the bag as fast as possible. She stuck the key in the door, twisted it, and opened the door. Vinyl ran inside and slammed the door just before she felt that hoofs would have reached out and pulled her into the darkness. She remembered her roommates would probably be sleeping and wasn’t sure if she woke them up. But to her surprise she saw Derpy in the kitchen.
“Hi Vinyl.” Said Derpy who smiled and waved at her.
“Hey Derpy. How's the whole...thing going?”
“Oh it's going fine, they just said you would have to have your memory erased, that's all.” Replied Derpy.
“WHAT?” Vinyl yelled, clearly not wanting to have her memory erased.
“I'm just messing with you.” Managed Derpy through her laughter. “By the way, have you ever had a carrot and pumpkin muffin? I hear they're really good.”
“Wow Derpy you're so mature. You really scared me there for a second. No, I haven't had a pumpkin carrot muffin and I'm surprised you haven't either. I thought you would have had every type of muffin ever made.”
“No way! There are way too many muffins to have tried every flavor.” Said Derpy.
“Anywho what is actually going to happen now?” Asked Vinyl.
“I'm still not really sure they haven't said anything. How was your party?”
“Oh it was great! Every pony cheering and the lights flashing really made it awesome. But there was some pony who asked me to come over to her afterwards and then just said eggs. Weird huh?”
“EGGS!” Derpy yelled. “Uh, that's what I forgot to buy at the store. I hope I didn't just wake Octavia up by yellling.”
Vinyl thought something sounded off by the way she suddenly yelled out and the way she looked surprised.
I need to get sleep though. It was probably nothing, I mean she probably just did forget to buy eggs.
“That's fine, I mean we can just have toast. But I need to go to bed so, goodnight.”
“Okay Vinyl. See you tomorrow morning.” Said Derpy.
Vinyl still thought something was off but she decided not to bother interrogating Derpy, as she was probably tired too. Vinyl sleepily trudged up the stairs and to her room. She opened the door and laid down on her bed.
What a day.
