Vinyl was hard at work in her bedroom when Octavia showed up. "What are you doing with that screwdriver?" she asked.

Vinyl looked up. "Just working on my headphones." she replied.

Octavia tilted her head to the side. "Exactly WHAT are you doing?" she asked.

Vinyl laughed. "I'm increasing the output of the sound. As soon as this thing's done, I'll be able to listen to music at a whopping 3,000 decibels of sound!" she said.

Octavia, used to Vinyl's mishaps and silliness, assumed that Vinyl was strongly exaggerating. At the same time, Octavia was certain that it wouldn't be worth the trouble to interfere with Vinyl's business. Therefore, she decided to let it be. 

"All right." said Octavia as she walked out of the room. But what she didn't know was that Vinyl wasn't playing games. She actually WAS attempting to make her headphones strong enough to play sound at 3,000 decibels of sound, and she had no regrets of doing it. Only later would her first regrets begin to surface. But I guess mistakes are made to be learned from, right?

Several hours passed, and it was time for dinner. Octavia stood downstairs with food in one hoof as she sat down at the dining table. She sat the food down and prepared to dine when she realized that Vinyl wasn't down yet. Knowing Vinyl, Octavia was certain that the only reason Vinyl could be late for dinner could be trouble. Octavia looked upward.

"VINYL!" she called. "Are you coming down to eat or not?"

To her surprise, her reply came not from upstairs, but from the doorway into the room. Vinyl jumped in wearing her headphones and called, "RIGHT HERE!"

Vinyl adjusted her headphones and set her IPod to play "Running In The 90s". Immediately, Octavia was knocked to the floor by the blast of sound! All the windows shattered, and the doors broke free from their hinges! Chunks of the ceiling broke free and fell to the floor!

When Octavia woke up, she shook her head and began to stand up. The room was a complete mess. Vinyl was laying down on the ground, her headphones broken. Octavia ran over to help her best friend.

"Are you okay!?" Octavia shouted.

Vinyl's eyes began to open. Octavia wiped the sweat from her forehead, realizing that Vinyl was unharmed. Or so she thought. "I'm glad you're okay, Vinyl." said Octavia.

Vinyl didn't answer.

Octavia was confused. Usually, Vinyl would immediately respond to anything Octavia would say to her.

"Excuse me?" asked Vinyl. 

"I said I was happy you were okay." said Octavia.

"SAY THAT AGAIN PLEASE!" yelled Vinyl.

"I SAID I WAS HAPPY TO SEE YOU OKAY!!!" shouted Octavia.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!??" shouted Vinyl.

It was official now. Vinyl needed to take a trip to the doctor.
