//------------------------------// // Chapter 24: Favor Repaid, Time To Relax. // Story: How Did I Get Here? // by k12314 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 24 After Zeph dropped me off at Canterlot, I headed into the castle, the guards looking ahead, unwavering. I walked up to Luna's room, and put her stargazing equipment down near her window. I could tell she was holding in a squee. "Thank you... So much!" "No problem Luna. Anything to help a friend." With that, I left. Time to relax, and have a party. I headed straight for Pinkie Pie's when I got back to Ponyville. When I walked into the shop, Pinkie was sitting at the counter, bored. "Pinkie, get a party ready. I'm getting my equipment, we are going to rave the night away." She just smiled ear to ear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The party was raging in front of me, and I just had regular party music playing. Vinyl Scratch looked at me quizzically, and I smiled like a nutjob. After the song ended, I turned my hat around and grabbed my microphone. "Hey everyone... DJ 1NS4N1TY here... Get ready for my latest hit!" Everypony cheered. I plugged in my laptop, opened some mixing software, and started live streaming music straight to the party. The building was shaking as the bass of the song blasted out of the speakers. Vinyl laughed. I was too busy banging my head to laugh back. Fluttershy walked up, much to my surprise. "Finally mustered up the courage to talk to 1NS4N1TY, eh?" She grinned and blushed. It isn't every day you get to talk to a celebrity. "Well, Actually... I had a suggestion..." "Oh really? Let's hear it then." "I want you to play the first song you ever made." I just looked at her. "Are you sure? It isn't danceable. In fact, it may be too fast for anypony to even comprehend some of the song!" "I'm sure. I've been curious to hear how you started." I smiled and nodded. I pulled out my MP3 Player and plugged it into my laptop. I streamed the music to the software, and to the DJ setup. The music started, and everyone just looked at the speakers, and they all started smiling wildly. I saw heads go up and down. Mine too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The next morning, I woke up next to Vinyl Scratch again. She was laying across my stomach, out cold from partying so hard. "Ohhhhhh..." I groaned as I got up. I felt great, but I was still crashed from last night. Vinyl rolled off of me and stayed on the ground. She must have actually partied with the crowd, something she wasn't used to. I saw Fluttershy walk up to me. "That was... Amazing." She was beaming with fangirl-ishness. I cracked my neck. "Yeah, well it isn't my best work. I made that in one go." She stared at me, amazed. "You do all of your songs in one go?" "Yeah, I never change anything. I do everything in one go to keep that 'natural' feel to the song." "That's clever. I had best get home, my animals are waiting. See you later Kyle." "Laters, Shy." I had to get home myself... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I sat at home, wondering what would happen next. "Friends with Luna, sent into that forest, partying until I pass out... What next?" I couldn't imagine anything else exciting happening, unless the TARDIS decides to fall through my roof again. But then again, if that happened, I would kill The Doctor. I looked at my watch. 2:00pm. Wow... I was about to drift back into sleep when I heard knocking on my door...
