    Vinyl Scratch, AKA the infamous DJ P0N-3, finishes working a show when she's greeted by a strange unicorn couple. They own a little shop in Canterlot, and want her help with a new invention. Something musical, and magical, and most importantly... fun. She agrees, and soon enough, her marefriend Octavia is in for a major surprise... Or she would be, if she were really capable of being surprised anymore. Living with Vinyl does that to you.

    --Cover art and inspiration by the phenomenal Dawn Fade

    --This is a side-story for Four of Two. Reading Four of Two is NOT required to understand this story, and reading this is NOT required to understand everything going on in Four of Two, but they are connected.

    I reserved this spot for my opinions!

    EDIT:

    I quickly want to say that I was surprised Ariamaki that you decided to make this a whole new story. Given it is completely derailed from the source material, I would have placed money it wasn't going to be completely separated off. (This just means linking it as an A/N once or twice to give future readers the chance to know of it's existence.)

    Well this was definitely a solid set up. Brought Vinyl into a different and good light. I never saw Vinyal as the engineering type, now I can ^^. Can't wait to see more. Also I like how Octavia had the bad premonition. She's a gypsy, like Pinkie!!!!!:pinkiegasp:

    Oh, this is going to be an epic collaboration.  I like the back story you're setting up for Vinyl and Octavia, not to mention we're getting a little bigger glimpse into the lives of Nickel and Matte.  It sounds like Octavia is taking a seriously thankless position with her tutoring job, it didn't sound like she and Vinyl were short enough on bits to need her taking that position, so I'm guessing that she does it for the chance to discover the next great talents in the youngsters.  (That's a rough patch to hoe, though I guess if she finds even one new talent in the group, she'd consider all the time well spent.)  

    Please, continue, this is developing into a very interesting side line to the whole Four of Two story.  :moustache:

    Anyway, good (interesting) setup, and it's an extra serving of that particular brand of humor you have (that I oh so enjoy), so keep it coming. I need to track this as well now.

    >>727463 Trust me, Ari is worth reading, he writes compelling stories first and foremost. The sex is there, but its not there for the sake of sex. Where most romances would cut away or fade to black, Ari goes on to describe the scene in pretty beautiful and tasteful detail. It enhances the romance, rather than detract from it with squick. To call his stories clop is like saying a hundred dollar bill and a dollar bill are the same. Technically true in the sense both use ink and paper, but one is obviously of higher value.

    They're a new thing, and pretty much entirely unknown outside of colleges and some major government places like Canterlot. Far too new for games to be a common thing. However, I had actually meant to change the name of her major slightly, so kudos to you, and I'mma go fix that. :pinkiehappy:

    TADA, now it is a bit more clear-- Her degree was technically in Electrical Engineering, of which the brand-new CompSci was a sub-department. That had always been the case, but I forgot to write it before the rather hectic publishing time.

    This is going to be a hilarious conversation, I have a feeling. Or a hilarious internal monologue as Octavia laughs at herself for thinking she could predict Vinyl's next move.

    As I've said before Ariamaki... you seem to have direct access to my brain. :facehoof:

    I could totally hug you for your protrayal of Derpy as accident prone and generally unlucky (which I've been trying to tell people the whole time is her deal, none of that retarded BS:twilightangry2:)

    Also still totally love your Vinyl and Octy, I think they are officially my favorite BG ship even beating out LyraxBon Bon :twilightsmile:
