Vinyl Scratch


“Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song


Slowly awakening Vinyl let out a long but small moan as the sun hit her eyes from the open curtains. She flipped the blanket over her head while getting up and yawned. Walking towards the curtains she closed them and lifted up her blanket to see her room. Electric-Blue walls and a nice shiny white floor just like her. Her T.V rite by the millions of billions of movies and her couch and arm chair right in front, with her bed her midnight bed and her comfy purple blanket in the middle of the room

Walking out her room, Vinyl headed for the kitchen and grabbed a box of musical charms and some milk. she grabbed a bowl and poured her cereal and milk in and headed for dinning table. She flicked on the t.v and started to watch some cartoons. eating away. Vinyl looked at the clock and noticed it was half an hour before lunch.

Getting up to wash her dishes she noticed something... something rather calming. Her roomy was gone. No annoyance for her and she was G-L-A-D glad! As she got ready, Vinyl put on her signature trademark glasses. Oh how she loved them, they protected her from the sun when she had a little to much to drink and hid her eyes that most pony's think are weird.

Heading out the door she heard a door open and sighed. So close! Vinyl cried in the inside.

"Where are you going?" the lyrist asked rather irratatingly

"To the shop Lyra." Cursing under her breath the usually calm blue mane unicorn lied "Why do you care? You usually don't care what i do" Vinyl asked trying to leave

"Who say's i don't care? Besides I was just asking" Lyra said now a lil' annoyed

"Whatever.. i'm off!!!" Vinyl said as she shut the door.

why did i agree for her to move in again? she thought. Knowing if she kept thinking about it she would just get mad she erased the thought from her mind and started to walk. It was just after lunch and Vinyl knew the place she was headed to would be crowded with pony's. So with that in mind she started a quick and heavy pace down the road.

Finally arriving at her most favourite place, "The musical park" Vinyl said cheerfully. Vinyl started heading to a stage where the turntables are. As she made her way up the three to four stairs she looked out to everypony passing by and smirked. As she predicted the park was filled with pony's from every shape and size. she took a big breath and yelled "Time to get this party started!" she plugged in her headphones and expertly flung two disc's on the turntables. Music blasted through the stereo's and got the attention from everypony passing by.

Vinyl loved the turntables, she loved the music she created with the turntables, but she mostly loved bringing every pony, unicorn, and pegasi together by the music she created with her turntables. It just made her smile her most precious smile.

Though she loved all that and it made her smile she can't help but feel alone. Yes she has friends and she had coltfriend's before but they never really worked, heck she even tried dating a mare. But long story short it never worked out. She just wanted someone to love you know? Someone to hold and protect, just someone she could all her lover, And she is determined to find that one pony.

As she finished her last track for the day Vinyl noticed it was just around four-thirty in the afternoon. Vinyl decided to go where ever her mind took her. So she started down the street of Manhatten.

She first found herself at the local skate park. Seeing all the colts and fillies doing trick made her excited and asked to try one of the skaters board. Knowingly she would most likely get hurt she took off and managed to not get hurt too much. Yes Vinyl got hurt but not a serious when just a scrape to the cheek. Laughing it off she left.

She then found herself at a costume shop. Thinking it was funny she tried on some clothes and even asked an employee to take a picture of her in some of them. Her favourite would though would have to be the Harleymane from the Batpony movies. Deciding she didn't want the costume Vinyl took it off and left.

As she was trotting down the street she felt a little bit hungry so decided to look for a place to eat. She then saw this coffee shop she never saw before; which in vinyls case was rare because well she's been everywhere! It had this sort of aura that made her want to go, so knowing vinyl she entered.

It was a cool place scratch that it was a brilliant place! It had music symbols everywhere from the walls to the tables. The chairs also had a music note on them, a big one, a big treble clef to be exact with others around it but not as big. The tiles where checkered black and white with song artist names on them with there genre of music from classical to dubstep and it was just so friggin' awesome! vinyl thought. She just discovered a musical cafe! and she loved it.

But at the corner of her eye Vinyl couldn't help but notice something. No not something, somepony. Somepony she never met before but wanted to get to know. Vinyl has dated mares before but not without getting to know them first. Wait a second, did she just say she wanted to date her? No not possible, she cant, she never even saw her before! WHAT AM I THINKING?. Vinyl hated herself for just thinking that. But even so she couldnt keep her eyes away from those majestic purple eyes and without warning she started to...walk. Straight towards the table the pony is sitting at. Not knowing what was happening she tried to stop but couldn't and when she was about to give up she stopped. But it was to late she was at the pony's table. The most Beautiful pony she ever saw with her now favourite dazzingly purple pair of eyes and said "Hi i'm Vinyl whats yours?..."

As The sun hit my eyes, I struggle to open them. Turning over I let out a yawn and get up. Walking towards the curtains i look out my apartment building to see that half of Manehatten had already awaken from their sleep. Noticing that I was going to be late for rehearsal, I quickly grab some bread and put it in the toaster as i headed to the washroom. Washing my long dark hair took longer then expected, so i decided to let it dry on the way to my rehearsal. Grabbing the toast i head out the door and start galloping down the stairs till i noticed.... I forgot my cello and to lock the door.

With the delay from this morning I almost missed practice, which in return i mentally kicked Myself. Setting up my cello on the stage I looked at my watch see it was about twelve, which in my case was pretty lucky, seeing that everyone was out walking around.

Then out of nowhere a unicorn trotted down the path listening to music with her headphones on and a big pair of purple glasses hiding her face. Watching her go down the road, I notice her cutie mark, not because I was looking at her flank or anything, but because it was hard not to notice it. It was a big blue musical note and just like that, I knew she was a music pony too. Watching her smile in the morning sun was just simply amazing, she was...Beautiful. Wait, did I just say that about somepony I never met? What am i thinking? Fighting with myself I surrendered. I guess it isn't weird thinking she's a beautiful mare, not like I was saying I would like to date her. Besides i'm still a little hung overed about him...

Deciding I was wasting time, I grabbed my cello and closed my eyes. Taking a deep breath I slowly swung my arm and started to Play. I smiled as pony's gathered around to hear the music i was composing. Yes i'm a composer, a very talented one at that. I love music and I love composing, these two things kept me smiling through thick and thin. Music saved me from depression. So I play, I play to thank those who invented music, to those who inspired me and those who helped me. Now when I play, I get lost in the rhythm. Everything is completely still when i play, so calm and relaxing, just how I like it.

Finally finishing I played more songs, different ones and again, I got lost.

As four-thirty came, I decided it was enough for today. So till supper came i was to look for stuff to do.

Looking around, I saw the skate park and remembered that an old friend of mine worked there, so i started trotting towards the stand. Then from the corner of my eye, I saw that mare again, that same mare from the park. She was trying to ride a skateboard. I giggled at the site of her falling down from the skateboard, and then i remembered, I was going to see my friend.

Trotting to the stand, I saw him and waved my hooves, catching him attention I smiled. "Hey! Long time no see Frederic." I said excitedly.

He just gave me a warm smile and nodded.

Trotting towards him I asked "How have you've been lately?

"Good and what about you? I hear you have a boyfriend" was his reply.

Frowning I look away. "Had" I corrected him. "It didn't really... work"

"Oh. I-i'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything" he said, rather worriedly.

"Let's just change the subject" I suggested.

Nodding he asked "Can I have your cell number so we can stay in touch?"

"Sure"

Exchanging numbers, we started to talk for awhile. Till we decided to part ways for the day.

Next I decided that i could go for a drink, so I went down the road again. Looking into shop windows while trotting, I found some nice and elegant things.

Then, I reached a strange shop. Cosplay mania? I read the sign. It interested me, so I entered with no hesitation. I looked around to see a endless supply of clothing. My eyes just widened. Then somepony came up to me. She looked like she worked here, and sure enough she did. Asking me if i needed some help, I just shook my head and said "no, thank you." I went to the back and found a nice ballerina outfit and tried it on. I always wanted to be a ballerina, when I was just a filly. Taking a few pictures, I took them off and left to the door. Almost at the door I looked over the counter, and I was surprised to see that same pony, with the electric blue mane, in a Batpony outfit. About to laugh, I covered me muzzle and trotted out the door. Looking back i just chuckled and left.

Smiling to no end, I finally arrived at my destination.Harmony Bistro. Ah, how I love this place. I can always relax here. Entering I sat down waiting for the waiter.

Lost in thought, I looked out the window and smiled as i looked at the blue sky. Blue.... electric blue' White body.. Shaking my head, I hesitated. What am I thinking? Sighing, I hear somepony approaching, thinking it was my waiter, so I smile. Turning my head, I was shock to see the white coated pony coming closer and closer till, finally she stopped, and without warning she opened her mouth and said. "Hi i'm Vinyl whats yours?..."
