Forever a DJ

Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I trotted over to the train station, I couldn’t help but feel that somepony was watching me.
Hhmmm… I wonder…
I turned to look around and I didn’t notice anything suspicious so I kept trotting to the train station. My paranoia was really getting to me; I always wanted to turn around to see somepony that was never there.
When I finally got to the station, my paranoia was easing, that is, until I saw the same group of mares that I gave autographs to before the show.
…Aw shit.
I quickly took evasive maneuvers to avoid them and bought my ticket to go to my new home in Ponyville. The train had cars with groups of eight ponies in each one, but since I went as DJ 1NS4N1TY I got a car all to my self, but now I’m just Leaf Disc so I would have to be with other ponies for the frustratingly long three hour train ride.
As I entered the car I was to share with seven other ponies, my heart almost stopped beating. I was sharing a car with the same group of mares from earlier.
… Why do you hate me Celestia?
As I entered and took my seat besides a butter-yellow pegasus with a light pink mane, I felt as if the white unicorn with the sunglasses and the cyan pegasus were trying to kill me with their stares.
They don’t know who I am, they don’t know who I am, they don’t know who I am…
As I constantly drilled in this small fact into my brain, I finally opened my eyes to see if they were still there, hoping it was a hallucination, the pink earth pony with the hot-pink mane was directly in my face, causing my to jump and hit my head on the back of the seat.
“AAHH!”
The last thing I heard before being sinking into unconsciousness was a mare’s voice saying,
“Pinkie what did you do?!”
Ugh, my head, what the buck happened? ….oh right, the pink menace scared me and I hit my head. Celestia damn it.
I started to feel like I was waking up, and I was proved correct when I started to hear voices whispering in hushed tones.
“Is he awake yet?” asked a tomboyish sounding voice.
“I don’t know why don’t you just ask him.” Said a refined feminine voice, dripping with sarcasm.
“Are you awake yet!” practically shouted a high-energized voice right next to you.
“OW! YES, YES I’M AWAKE PLEASE STOP SHOUTING.” I practically had to shout myself.
“Sorry, but after I scared you you hit your head and then you hit the floor and didn’t get up for like five minutes so then I shouted for you to wake up and now here we are!”
Said the pink one so fast you almost couldn’t keep up with her train of thought.
“Alright I forgive you. Just …don’t do that again, I get spooked easily.” I said truthfully.
“Okie dokie lokie!” replied the energetic pink mare.
“Sorry if I seem a little irritable, I just moved to Ponyville from here in Baltimare and it’s been a little hectic. Not to mention the passing of DJ 1NS4N1TY. Him gone put me out of a job, I was his personal advisor. But the pay was good, so I won’t need to look for a new job for a while…”
I stopped when I finally noticed all of their faces after my comment on my alter ego’s death.
“Were you all by any chance fans of his?”
The white unicorn with the PON3 tattoo spoke up.
“Yeah, we were all fans of him. I would even go as far as calling him my idol. But now… he’s gone and there’s nothing we can do about it...” The unicorn openly started to cry on me and soon everypony in the car was crying; all on me for some reason.
I’m not sure whether I should feel like a boss for having seven mares crying on me, or feel terrible that I’m the reason why.
A fresh wave of sobbing broke through my mind and I chose the latter.
Yup, terrible it is.
It stayed like this for about a good thirty minutes before they all started to just sit there, clutching onto me like some kind of large teddy bear.
The cyan pegasus started clutching onto me harder and bringing me closer to her.
OK, this is getting out of my, ‘I just met you a half hour ago’ comfort zone.
I slowly started pulling them gently off me, being careful to not use magic and only using my hooves. Once they had all gotten off, they all blushed profusely at what they had done and they all had looks of embarrassment on their faces.
“Hey, I just remembered, you girls never told me your names.”
The cyan pegasus was first to jump at the offer.
“I’m Rainbow Dash. Fastest flyer in all Equestria!” she exclaimed boastfully.
Then the three unicorns were next up.
“I am Rarity, owner of the Carousel Boutique and fashionista of Ponyville.”
“My name is Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you.”
“Hey, my name’s Vinyl Scratch, but you’ve probably heard of me as DJ PON3!”
“ Awesome, being 1NS4N1TY’s assistant, I’m a bit of a DJ myself, I even have some of my own music.” I replied casually back.
The other pegasus finally worked up enough courage to walk over.
“Hi my name’s Fluttershy.” Said the Pegasus in an almost inaudible tone
The next two up were both of the earth ponies.
“Mah name’s Applejack, but ya can just call me AJ. The rest of the girls do.”
“HI! My name’s Pinkie Pie! And I plan all the parties for Ponyville and that includes parties for new ponies- HHUUUHH! You’re a new pony! Which means I get to throw another party!”
“Uh thanks for the offer, but I think I’ll just stay home for a bit, I’m kinda tired from running around for the past two days.” I replied to her while scratching the back of my head with my hoof.
“Oh c’mon dude! Lighten up, have some fun. Enjoy some music, drinks and make new friends in a new town, what negatives are there?” Insisted Vinyl.
“Alright, I’ll go. I mean, what have I got to lose?”
I am going to regret that decision…
Author: Oh yes, yes you are.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two and a half hours later.
The train finally arrived at Ponyville on schedule and I had learned a lot about the new friends I had made on the train.
Rainbow Dash wanted to be a Wonderbolt, Rarity was looking a for a stallion with wealth and charm, (never gonna happen, I mean, nopony else can be me right?) Fluttershy loved and tended to animals, Twilight was apparently personal student to the Princess herself and loved books, Applejack and her family owned an apple farm, Pinkie worked at a bakery called sugar cube corner, (go figure) and Vinyl Scratch wanted to be a world famous DJ, as DJ 1NS4N1TY had been.
While I remembered where I was going I finally arrived at my new house, which is right next to a nightclub, which was probably why the price was so low. I didn’t mind though, I actually kind of preferred it. As I put in my key, I entered the building into a large entry way that branched off to a staircase, a living room, and more stairs which you assumed led to a basement.
Good, I’ll have someplace I can sound proof and make my studio.
I went up the stairs that led to another living room and branched off two ways, one to the bedroom and the other to the kitchen.
Huh, odd design choice but OK.
Overall, the house was slightly larger than my old multi-million dollar apartment and it had a nice home feel to it.
Plus it only cost 450,000 bits…
As I thought that, there was a knock on the door, so I opened it, careful to not use my magic still, and was promptly blow in the face with confetti.
“Surprise! Oh shoot, wrong greeting. OK then, you’re invited!” said the pink party pony with more enthusiasm than I thought was possible.
“To where and what?” I replied skeptically.
“To sugar cube corner silly! You’ve never had a corner cupcake. And until you do you have not lived!” Exclaimed the pinkie.
“Well alright if they’re THAT good than why the hay not?”
The way pinkie pie laughed suggested as if you had just doomed yourself to Tartarus.
“Okie dokie lokie! Let’s go!” said the mare who was getting more frightening by the minute.
As I followed Pinkie Pie through town, I got to have a look around. But everything and everywhere was unsettlingly quiet.
“Uh Pinkie, do you have an idea as to where all the ponies could have gone?”
“Nnope!” replied pinkie In a surprisingly similar way to Big Mac.
The rest of the trip was uneventful and I finally saw our destination, a building that appeared to be made out of gingerbread and sugar. How….
I quickly dismissed the thought as to avoid a mental illness that would surely come if I ever tried to figure out. I noticed all the lights were out and Pinkie had inexplicably disappeared, adding to my suspicions and I started having second thoughts about coming with Pinkie. I slowly reached for the door handle and turned it slowly and easily, until I flung the door open and nearly had a heart attack then and there.
