//------------------------------// // Rap Battle #11: Results and Aftermath // Story: Epic Rap Battles of MLP // by enigmaMystere //------------------------------// Vinyl walked into the living room, singing to herself. "I'm burnin', burnin'. I got a fever. I know for sure - there ain't no cure." She stopped, staring at an orange pegasus filly and a spotted colt kissing. Eye twitching behind her shades, she walked up to them, speaking in a stern tone. "Break it up. Now." They looked up at her, confused. The filly spoke up, curiosity getting the better of her. "Why? It's just kissing, isn't it?" She turned her gaze to the window, glad her glasses hid her emotions. "Just...not here, alright? Not in this house." They looked at each other, then, shrugging, walked out, just as an elated yellow filly walked in, almost literally grinning from ear to ear. Vinyl stared at her for a few moments before sighing, levitating a glass of lemonade from the kitchen. "I take it Featherweight asked you out?" She nodded happily, bouncing up and down in joy. "He did! Our first date is going to be tonight!" She did a little spin, bounding back out of the room. She sighed, walking over to the couch, and, sitting on it, started drinking her sour beverage. "...I went to bed, I was thinking about you...and how it felt when I finally found you...it's like a movie playing over in my head...d-don't wanna look cause I know how it ends..." A solitary tear rolled down her cheek, crashing onto the floor in the form of a broken heart. Octavia sat in the library, knowing that Twilight wouldn't mind her practicing there while she was away. She carefully held her bow, gently lining it up to the strings, and, ever so fluidly- "You know, you could've asked." Screech. Octavia turned to the entrance of the library, seeing her purple unicorn friend. She smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head. "Spike let me in. Sorry, but you weren't here, and..." She held up a hoof, a small smile on her face. "No problem. After all, what are friends for?" She giggled, moving over to a chair. Nodding to the grey mare, she gave her total attention. "Please, continue. It was sounding good." She stuck her tongue out in a teasing manner. Octavia laughed quietly to herself, beginning once again. Only for you, Twilight. Fluttershy was sitting with Winona, making sure she was fed. "Now, is there anything else you need?" Winona shook her head, smiling at her. "Nope! Ya know how ta feed me pretty darn well, Fluttershy!" She smiled at the canine, gently petting her head with a wing. Ever since the rap battle with Angel and Gummy, the timid mare had given most of her animal friends a headset, so they could communicate freely and clearly with her. Of course, some of them decided not to use it, but that was fine, too. She loved talking to her friends either way. "Ah take it ya used some kinda contraptionology on Winona, 'Shy?" She leaped in the air in surprise, turning around to see the voice's owner. She smiled at the orange mare, shaking her head. "It wasn't me. It was Vinyl and Twilight's invention." She stared at a tree for a moment before clopping a hoof on the ground. "Oh!" She flit over to her saddlebag, pulling out a thick stack of paper. She walked back over to the cowpony, a small blush on her cheeks. "...my part's done...um...h-have fun with the...sensualstuffokaybye!" With that, she was gone, leaving the incomplete novel on a nearby table. Applejack shook her head, chuckling softly to herself. "Ain't that just like Fluttershy." She took the stack and walked into the farmhouse, heading for her room - and the typewriter that await her there. "...Miss Scratch, are you okay?" Vinyl snapped out of her reverie, finally noticing the two ponies standing in front of her. She sighed, picking up her phone. "I'll tell you two the winner..." "No." She blinked, looking up at the cornflower-blue mare. "...beg pardon?" "Trixie said no." She moved forward, a concerned expression on her face. "Trixie is concerned with your sudden state of sadness. As well as the tears you are crying. Is something wrong?" Vinyl opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She tried again, using all of her willpower to force something, anything, from her lips. "...I'm fine. Honest." Trixie frowned, staring at the other unicorn for the longest time. Finally, she closed her eyes, shaking her head. "Trixie doesn't believe you, but she can't force you to talk about it." She motioned with a hoof, sighing gently. "May as well tell us who won." She quickly looked through her phone, quite interested in a few of the comments. "...'Steven Colbert'? Is he related to 'Coltbert'?" As she went further down, her breath caught in her throat. "...E..." She pushed past the name, eventually getting to a couple more interesting votes. "...Big Mac?" She paused, thinking about the red stallion for a few moments. ...I would love to go on a date with him... She sighed, hanging her head a bit, dejected. ...too bad he's already with somepony...lucky mare... She counted up the last of the votes, ignoring one of them, not even sure how to comment on somepony named 'Bilbo Baggins'. She looked up at them, her face strictly serious. "...the winner, with a count of eighty-one to sixty-eight...is..." She pointed a hoof, smirking slightly. "...you." If you're wondering why this was late, or why I suddenly have so much detail (comparatively), it's because I've been playing 'Fallout: New Vegas', among other games. ^^; ...wait, this is a bad time for the author's comments. Oops! :p Back to the story!~ The blue unicorn stared at the hoof, pointed directly at her. "...me?" Vinyl nodded, chuckling softly. "Yeah, you!" Trixie turned to Featherweight, smiling softly at him. "...you...you did well." She bowed, blushing softly. "Please forgive Trixie for being brash earlier." He grinned, holding out a hoof to her. "I'm willing to forgive if you are." With the sound of his words, the ex-showmare fainted. The other two stared at her, before Vinyl decided to speak up. "Maybe you should keep your voice in reserve for your girlfriend?" He sheepishly smiled, rubbing the back of his head. "Give my best to Derpy and Snowflake when they get back, mkay?" She smiled at him as he nodded, turning back to her thoughts, with a new one added: How does his sister stay up in that cloud home of theirs? Okay, now it's the proper time for author's notes. ^w^ I'm going to be starting college the 27th, so I'm not sure how often new battles will come up, much less new chapters. And I also need someone who could create title cards. ^^; I no longer have photoshop, so I don't have a way of making new ones...so I'm pretty much limited to the characters I already have cards for. Also, I blame Bethesda and Valve for making such addicting games! x3 I think that's about it. Oh, and the next couple battles are probably gonna be a bit unexpected. *le shrug* And I apologize for the lame attempt at feels. :\ Have a nice day/night/whenever! Enigma out.~
