Vinyl was in her room practicing with her mixer when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and Derpy was standing there.
“Oh, um, sorry to interrupt Vinyl, but I need you and Octavia for the plan to get Hole Tosses.”
“Okay, I’ll be down in a minute. Just gotta put my stuff away.”
Vinyl went back to her bed and grabbed her device. She put in its case and shut the lid. Vinyl bent down and pushed the case under her bed, making sure the handle side was sticking towards her. Once she had put the mixer back where it belonged she pushed open the door and walked into the hall. It was so tempting to slide down the stair railing.
I bet they wouldn’t mind.
Vinyl hopped onto the railing and slid down it making sure to jump off right before the pole at the end.
“Vinyl Scratch!” Octavia yelled out.
She minds.
“Don’t slide down the railing you’re going to break it!”
“Sorry I thought you wouldn’t mind.”
“Well, I do, don’t do that again.”
“Okay, okay.”
Derpy coughed and said, “Attention please.”
Vinyl and Octavia sat down on the couch and directed their attention towards Derpy.
“As you know I have brought you here today to discuss the fact that we found out where the guy who designs the robots lives.”
“Derpy you don’t have to act like you’re the princess giving a speech.” Vinyl whispered.
“It’s fun!” Derpy whispered back. “Anywho, we now have a plan of action. First we are of course going to go to his house. We have to go at night so we don't attract attention. Not too late though because we don’t want to look suspicious. After we go to his house we wait until nopony is watching and knock on his door. Once somepony opens the door we jump inside, especially if it’s Hole Tosses. If it’s not him then… well, I didn’t really think of that but we’ll figure it out if it comes to it. Then once he hopefully opens the door we pull a surprise attack. Me and Vinyl will tackle him but Octavia will look and make sure no bodyguards are around. Oh, Octavia you also have to shut the door behind us. Finally, once we tackle him I’ll get out my tranquilizer dart and give him a poke.”
“Nice plan, short and simple, I like it.” Vinyl snazzily responded while making motions with her hooves.
“Vinyl you sound ridiculous.”
Vinyl stuck her tongue out and made a pouty face at Octavia.
“Anyway enjoy whatever you want to do until maybe like seven. I’m thinking that’s when we’ll leave.”
Vinyl got up and got a drink of ice cold water.
This is gonna be awesome.
Later that night Vinyl, Octavia, and Derpy were almost ready to go. The adrenaline was pumping through their veins. Vinyl was excited to play her part in the plan and help tackle whoever came to the door. Hopefully it was Hole Tosses. It would be really awkward if his wife came to the door and Vinyl and Derpy tackled her to the ground.
“I’m ready to go, how about you two?” Octavia asked.
“Let’s do it!” Vinyl cheered.
“I’m ready.” Derpy replied, more calmly than Vinyl. “Let’s get going.”
Derpy walked out the door, decided she needed a scarf, and turned around. Once Derpy had a scarf warmly wrapped around her they departed. Out in the street there were a few ponies walking around that Vinyl could see. Up the hill they went following Derpy’s directions. The bright yellow light from the street posts shined down on the cobbled path. They passed the bakery which had it’s lights surprisingly on and a few ponies inside getting donuts or coffee. The farther up the hill they went the less ponies there were.
“This way!” Derpy happily told them as she turned down a side street.
They kept walking until Derpy pointed to a house on the side of the street.
“This one.”
“Here we go.” Said Vinyl.
Octavia mumbled, “Oh boy.”
In the garden there were stepping stones that made a path from the street, through the grass, to the walkway that approached the door. Vinyl and Derpy casually approached the door with Octavia close behind. Derpy looked around the street quickly, making sure that nopony was watching, and knocked on the door.
