//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: The Premiere // by cory486 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash was having a blast hanging and drinking with Spitfire and the Wonderbolts. They all cheered on Soarin as he sang and they danced but the part that really rocked Rainbow Dash was when Spitfire flew onstage and started singing her song. She had to pick all of the Wonderbolts and her own jaws off the floor as she sang to the pulsing bass and moved along to the rhythm. It was just simply amazing. As Spitfire finished her song her and Vinyl shared a high hoof before Spitfire took the mic again to ask the crowd “Hey Colts and Fillies how does everypony like DJ PON3?” The crowd gave a roar of approval that was wholly approving to which Spitfire responded “Well as you know I am Spitfire of the Wonderbolts and this DJ has an open invitation to play at any future Wonderbolts shows and afterparties!” The crowd cheered again for this piece of news and Spitfire continued yet again. “Also everypony I would like to thank Neon Glow and all of the staff here at Neon Nights, you guys seriously rock! Now DJ PON3 spin those tracks!” With that Spitfire flew offstage to some more applause as the music started playing a melodic piano piece that was exceedingly beautiful. The piece evolved and grew until the stage and the DJ was bathed in light as she prepared to sing her song, the one that had skyrocketed her and brought her here tonight. “Strobelights are everywhere…..Smoke is filling the air….Turn up the fade ah yeah…this is how high we go. Hypnotic on the rocks my d-d-drink glows in the dark g-g-got my LED on d-d-drinking chemical shots so much that your mouth is bubblin so much that your step is stutterin to the beat do you feel that boom boom? Do you feel that boom boom boom boom?” Octavia was now paying her full attention to the DJ as she started singing. She really did have a good voice that she used very well and she absolutely set the club on fire as the strobes and lights flared, the bass kicked and the party found renewed energy to lose itself once again to the music. After the DJ’s big track came to a close the show wound down fairly quickly. Octavia knew this because she recognized the sound of her Cello and the closing piece for the Concert she had just played. The closing was very well done as well, the Cello was overlaid with fading electronic music and a dull bass throb that slowly faded until it was just her cello. As the final notes ended the lights, the actual lights slowly came back on and the DJ took a bow to the uproarious applause. “Thank you everypony” she yelled out “Thank you for all coming out, I am DJ PON3 and that’s all!” Vinyl was ecstatic as she received wild applause from the club at the end of the set. Panting heavily and coated in sweat she was worn out. Amazingly she was not tired though, she was still way to hyped for that. She felt alive and in the moment as she quickly took her laptop and table to the back and put them into their cases. After that was done Vinyl quickly went back out and went to mingle with the crowd. Instantly she was flooded from all sides and was given many congratulations and more than one request for autographs. Spitfire managed to wade through and drop a ticket to the next Wonderbolts show and a “see ya Soon Scratchy….oh and call me sometime!” before she walked off. Vinyl mingled with the crowds a little more before they thinned enough for her to see the grey cellist hanging around near the back of the club with her friends chatting idly. Breaking away from the crowds she managed to trot over to actually say hello and get properly introduced. “Hi, I just wanted to let you know I thought you put on a really good show earlier. I thoroughly enjoyed it, also thank you for coming out!” She proclaimed extending a hoof. Rainbow Dash followed Spitfire out of the club and they flew around and chatted a little more. Finally as they were drawing near to her hotel Spitfire turned to Rainbow Dash and said “Hey Dash I really had a lot of fun, but I am about to go in and crash for Luna knows how long. We are taking a few days off between now and our next show though….so if you want maybe we could get together and fly sometime between?” Spitfire swore Rainbow Dash nearly fell out of the sky as her brain processed this before she nearly exploded in unbridled happiness. Spitfire smiled as Rainbow Dash let out a squeal of happiness and exclaimed “YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!” Shaking her head Spitfire said “Now go rest I know I need to.” With a wave goodnight Rainbow Dash watched Spitfire fly off and she let out another fangirl squeal not only had she gotten to party with the Wonderbolts but now she was going to get to fly with Spitfire! BEST. NIGHT. EVER! Octavia shook the proffered hoof of the DJ as she finally really got to see her up close. The mare was actually really quite small and thin, and her coat was the color of snow. Octavia also noted her two toned blue mane and how it was messy but yet seemed to be taken care of as well. Small details really but one must always be observant, or so her father had said. Still that took just a brief moment what took a bit longer was reveling in the praise of what she now knew to be another master of music. Smiling she replied “Thank you very much it is always so good to hear one enjoyed our performance. You did outstanding yourself.” Octavia found it a tiny bit off putting that the mare was still wearing those sunglasses but to each their own. “By the way my name is Octavia Philharmonica and yours?” “Vinyl Scratch but please just Vinyl, nice ta meet ya Octavia. Also thank you It means a lot that another artist likes my stuff.” Octavia smiled and nodded at the other mare before asking “Say Vinyl would you like to go get some food with me?” The DJ smiled and replied with a nod and together the musicians trotted out of the club. Neon Glow saw Vinyl leave but settled once he remembered he still had her cell number. He would contact her about pay tomorrow; the mare looked like she would collapse at any moment. With that slight worry dealt with he smiled and made sure the rest of the patrons exited the club. -------- Spike heard the train coming from a mile away and with it his freedom. He ran for all he was worth valiantly dodging carts and ponies alike in his mad dash. It was here, finally his salvation had come! As he hit the strait away to the train station he could feel them. Hot on his heels was the promise of a swift end from the three smiling faces should they catch him. Still he ran, the stairs only a few meters away. Then at the last minute, when it was way too late he saw the trap. The Cutie Mark Crusader Catapult squad stepped from behind a box and pulled out binoculars, Spike knew…they had him. The contraption came forward catching him in the chest and suddenly Spike was getting to see all of Ponyville from the air. As he started to arch downward however he was caught in an aura of golden magic that felt pleasantly warm. Looking up in confusion Spike was none other than Princess Celestia smiling at him. “Hello Spike I just got a break from my royal duties and read your lovely letter and I must say I was quite intrigued, in fact I have asked the Cutie Mark Crusaders Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo to join us for another one of their tea parties. They have graciously accepted, in fact we are going to be meeting them at their clubhouse as soon as they get done greeting everypony.” Across Ponyville heads turned in curiosity and mild confusion as a long cry of “NOOOOOooooooooo” faded into the distance before with a shrug of their shoulders they carried on about their daily business. Twilight stepped off of the train with her friends her face all smiles as they were met with the grins of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. “Hello girls,” Twilight proclaimed before adding “Ummm…where is Spike?” All three of the girls replied “Napping” as they all kept smiling innocently. “Now were ya’ll girls good while ah and the girls were gone?” Applejack asked giving them a stern look over. Not breaking their smiles all three nodded before Scootaloo asked “So can we, like, go play now?” Applejack nodded with an “Ah suppose” that fell on deaf ears, or more correctly, no ears as the girls had already disappeared. Rainbow Dash smiled as she parted with girls. First she would take a major nap and then it was time to start training for the Wonderbolts! Manehattan Neon Glow finished counting all of the earnings from the night before as he heard the door open. In walked DJ PON3, glasses on as always, and he quickly motioned her over. “Hey there’s my number one DJ! I have got to give it to you, you rocked this house harder than anypony I have ever seen! Also allow me to thank you for eternity for getting the Wonderbolts to attend! I really could have kissed you when I heard that. Anyway just so you know you have an open invitation to play here anytime you want no questions. Heh, listen to me ramble, here is your pay, and if you will notice there is actually a bonus in there for you, but trust me after the night we had last night and your performance that is the least I can do for you! Spend it well cause you earned every bit of it.” Octavia waited outside for about ten minutes before Vinyl resurfaced from inside of the club. “Sorry it took so long, Neon wanted to chat for a minute…..so anyway I was wondering if you were perhaps up for some coffee.” The DJ asked hopefully. “Certainly” Octavia replied. With that the two musicians and now friends went and shared coffee. They spent most of the morning talking about their music and experiences, along with the events of last night. When Octavia learned that Vinyl was going to be playing a show in Canterlot soon she extended an invitation to one of her concerts and could not have been happier when she agreed. It was always pleasant to be brought together by music and then finding a friend as well. END….<3 Authors Notes. Well this story snuck up in length on me from nowhere.
