While Projector and Film Reel were hanging out at the coffee shop, Melody would receive an unexpected surprise.  After hanging up the lights to the Hearth's Warming tree, Melody and Camera laid next to each other on the couch.  The other couches in the living room were occupied by Page, Baker, and the little filly whose name certain ponies keep failing to remember.  A Hearth's Warming movie was playing on the 42-inch television screen hanging on the wall.  Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Baker was the first to get up and go get the door.  When she opened the door, she was surprised to see two ponies, one a stallion and the other a mare, stand at the entrance.  The mare wore distinct purple DJ glasses and the other a black short-sleeve with a white tie.

"Hey, we're Melody's parents, is he here?" the stallion asked.

"Mom? Dad? Is-is that you?" Melody asked, coming to the door.

The stallion grinned and said, "Melody!"

Baker blinked, still shocked.  She knew Melody was the son of the famous Vinyl Scratch and Neon Lights, actually meeting them was something she never dreamed of.

"Oh, Um, hello Mr and Mrs Light, my name is Baker." Baker said, offering a weak smile.

"Hello, Baker, pleasure to meet you." Neon replied, shaking her hoof, while Vinyl signed the same thing.

By now, Page Turner had come to the door, smiling as she saw the two DJs.

"Well,well, well, Vinyl and Neon Lights, the most famous DJ couple in Equestria. I was wondering when I'd get to meet you two." she said, fixing her glasses.

The two had just finished hugging Melody and Neon had now walked up Page,smiling.

"Same. Honestly, I'm not much of a reader, but you do write some fascinating stuff." Neon replied.

"Oh, you flatter me, Dear. Please, come in and make yourselves at home." Page said, leading them in the home.

Projector and Film Reel got out of the taxi and were making their way back to the mansion's entrance.  Film had been silent for the most part, save for the occasional playful jabbing between him and Projector.  His mind had mostly been on Aqua Marine, and on how much of an impression she made on him.  It had been so long since he felt any kind of romantic feelings for another pony that he had forgotten what it felt like.  Even so, he still felt quite doubtful.  He knew he wasn't in the best shape and most mares wouldn't be interested in middle-aged stallions anyway.  Still, he thought, she was quite attractive and seemed to enjoy my company. Maybe... no, no. Get a hold of yourself, she'll never love a stallion like you.

Sighing inwardly, Film felt relief when Projector proceeded to unlock and open the door.  He wasn't ready for what happened next, as he witnessed Projector's reaction to some unexpected guests.

Projector gasped and said,  "is that the DJ Couple?!"

Then he squeed like a little fangirl.
