Vinyl Scratch was bored. Everypony says that its not possible to die of boredom, but Vinyl knew that if she didn't get off the train soon she would suffocate. The next stop wasn't too far off, but it was still a long wait. Twilight Sparkle was reading a book she brought along with her, and Vinyl Scratch didn't want to be rude and interrupt her but she was so bored.
"Hey, Twilight," She began, quietly. "What's that book about?"
"It's about this time-travelling stallion and his companion who explore the universe." Twilight answers.
"Sounds interesting." Vinyl Scratch changed the subject. "Does Ponyville have a night club? Or a club of any kind?"
Twilight put down her book and looked at Vinyl Scratch. "I dont think so, nopony has ever mentioned it. Why?"
"In Manehattan I was the DJ at a night club. I was hoping that I could start one in Ponyville."
"Well, I believe there is an empty building near town hall. Its been empty for a while. Nopony has a use for it, so its going pretty cheap."
Vinyl Scratch grinned. "Awesome. Maybe I could check it out."

...

After about two hours, the train slowed to a stop at the Ponyville train station.
"Hey, Twi. We're here." Vinyl Scratch said to the sleeping mare.
Twilight opened her eyes and looked out the window. "Oh. We are." She stood up and began walking down the aisle, and off the train.
"So," Vinyl said. "Where to?"
"Here, just follow me." Twilight headed toward a large tree. "Thats the library. I live there."
"You live in a giant hollowed out tree. That is so cool!" Vinyl looked at Twilight as she opened the door. "I mean, what could be cooler than that?"
Vinyl Scratch soon took back her words as she saw a purple dragon sitting on a couch. "You have a DRAGON? Now that is awesome!"
Twilight smiled. "Spike is my assistant. Everypony says the same thing about how 'cool' he is."
"Its official. You are one of the coolest ponies I know." Vinyl Scratch commented.
Twilight looked at Vinyl Scratch. "Do you really think so?" She asked.
"Yeah! Why wouldn't you be? I mean, you have a dragon for Celestia's sake!"
Twilight smiled, and answered hesitantly, "A lot of ponies call me an egghead. I didn't even have many friends until I moved here. Just my brother, and he's on the royal guard, so I don't get to see him much."
"Still, you seem to be really cool to me."
"Thanks, but you haven't even met anypony else here in Ponyville. I guess I could show you around town tomorrow!"
"Yeah, but now I'm getting tired."
Twilight showed Vinyl to the guest room and not much later Vinyl was asleep.

...

Vinyl Scratch woke up to the sound of... An explosion? No... that was a belch... Both? So she stood and moved slowly to the door, wondering what she would find after that noise. She looked out the door to see Twilight reading a letter, and Spike clutching his stomach.
"Come on, Twilight! Can't you have this conversation later?" Spike complained. "I'm not up for this!"
"No, Spike, I have to report the situation to Princess Celestia!" Twilight countered.
Vinyl Scratch made a coughing noise to let the two know she was awake, which made Twilight jump.
"Morning, Twi." Vinyl Scratch said, sleepily.
"Afternoon... Its thirteen-hundred..." Twilight giggled.
"Good afternoon, then." Vinyl Scratch said. She was used to getting up late, considering she usually stayed up until four, with the club, and all. "What are you so frantic about?"
"Parasprites are in Canterlot." Twilight answered quickly. "The princess said that there are so many that she can't even get them all with her magic."
"Oh, parasprites... Hate those. They love music. Tell her just to get the royal orchestra to lead them somewhere else." Vinyl suggested.
"Oh, yes, Pinkie Pie saved Ponyville from them once." Twilight said, quickly writing that down.
"Cool." Vinyl Scratch did a double-take. "Wait. Pinkie Pie? She lives in Ponyville?"
"She sure does. Why?" Twilight asked.
"We used to be good friends back in high school." Vinyl Scratch claimed. "I havent seen her since the wedding."
"I guess we can visit Pinkie sometime today." Twilight said, going back to her letter. "I don't want to be rude, but you do know your way around Ponyville, right?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Vinyl Scratch actually wanted to spend some time with her new friend. "I just need to know where that empty building is."
"Down the street from Sugarcube Corner. Can't miss it." Spike answered.
"Thanks. See ya later." Vinyl Scratch said, walking out the door. 'Now... Off to see Pinkie Pie.'
