[A/N] Welcome programs. I got your attention from the other story didn't I? Well guess what that story is gonna be on what I call a 'longer to post new chapters' hiatus. My first story for the new year. Lets get this pile of crap going.
I know the story. The story of how a little down on his luck musician had the opportunity to perform with Equestrias' most well-known DJ in the most famous cities. But it wasn't easy. He faced many hardships on the way. From psycho doctors, power-hungry unicorns, crazed griffins. However, our hero faced the challenge of facing the whole Changeling hive, including their Queen. But was our brave hero scared?* No, for he had risen up and defeated the Changelings and was named a hero.
How do I know all this crap? Well simple, Electronic Notes is my brother.
Waking up after a long night was always hard. Whether it be a big party, a one-night stand or you got slammed. But my reason was because I had a show last night. My name is Hard Chord and I sing for a metalcore band (both vocals). I have a light brown coat and a black messy mane that my brother tried to steal the look from. As I was saying, a show is always tiring, there is always a drunk guy, security colts are being assh*les to teenagers, but screaming you lungs out and then trying to sing is a challenge that most vocalists are faced with on a regular basis. But my brother got a "cheat sheet" when it comes to singing. Sure he doesn't do screamed vocals but he has it easy.
Now you all may have heard how my brother got that computer chip stuck in his throat but who do you think screamed loud enough to get attention from our mother. We both got our cutie marks that day. Mine was a microphone with tiny lighting bolts around it.
Speaking of my brother, I wonder what he's up to?
My vision blurred as I opened my eyes. I looked and saw that I was just simply back at my apartment living room/kitchen on the couch. I felt a weight on my chest that felt comfortable. Still drowsy I closed my eyes. That's when I began to feel the weight on my chest. It felt like a body of somepony. I looked to where I assumed the head would be and saw a pair of red eyes staring back at me.
"You wanna wake up now?"
"DAH" I yelped in surprise. I instantly knew who it was. It was my marefriend Vinyl Scratch. I still can't believe that it's been two years since I met her. Yet to this very day she still looks as beautiful as the day I first saw her.
Vinyl only giggled that made more enchanted by her. Her hooves found their way on to my head, playing with my mane.
"Sorry babe. Didn't mean to startle you."
"Well I'm still sleepy."
"Well then lets get up." She was about to get off me before I spoke up.
"Why, I'm already nice and comfy here." I put my hooves around her to prevent her from getting up. She only tried to get up once or twice before she relaxed on my chest. Without saying a word, she only raised her body to my level and I pulled her in for a kiss. But before our make-out session could get heated, a voice called to us that made us stop
"You two just don't care where you are do you?"
We didn't bother to look up since we knew who it was.
"Tavi, it's our apartment. I think we can make-out on the couch, in the shower or on the kitchen table if we wanted to."
"Vinyl! We eat on this table and we bath in that shower."
"Well while we get dirty, we can clean each other at the same time." I added.
Octavia looked down and said. "I don't think I can ever go in there without that though again."
I leaned back and said, "You wanna hear my comment about eating on the table."
She only looked confused responded, "I don't get it."
I only looked back at Vinyl and said quietly, "Alright we still have the table." Vinyl tried her best not laugh loudly for Octavia to hear.
Suddenly Octavia piped up, "Vinyl it appears we have run out of milk I need you to fetch some more for us please?" She asked.
Well damn, I don't like to be to far from Vinyl. A simple run to the grocery store doesn't require me to tag along since it would only slow her down. But this is perfect. I needed time with Octavia alone so she could help me with something.
"Alright." She turned to me and ruffled my mane. "You just stay here and get your rest." She said in a fake motherly tone. "You've earned it from last nights show. You were so tired that only made it to the couch."
She walked to the door with a bag of bits. Before she stepped out into the warm spring air, she turned around and gave me a peck on my cheek. My cheeks glowed a light pink as she walked away. Even after two years of being with her, I am still awestruck by her in every way.
"Wow. I can't believe that after these years. You are still head over hooves in love with her."
I turned and said it without question or anything just simply, "You need to help me find a ring for her."
Octavia had to take a moment for that one to sink in. I knew what she was thinking.
"Are.... are you.... are you really going to ask her?"
"Yes. I was hoping that we could go to the park and I would ask her."
"Well why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Because Tavi, you're horrible at keeping secrets."
"I can keep a secret."
"No Tavi. When we first met, you blabbed out that Vinyl was excited to work for me. When I talked to her later that day, she said and I quote 'Well she wasn't supposed to say that'."
Octavia only blushed and rubbed the back of her head.
"Also, since Vinyls' parents aren't here anymore, the closest person I could ask the blessing for is you."
"Well why me though."
"I thought that maybe you would be the one to say 'oh thank Celestia. that means I won't have to deal with her anymore. Plus I can get rid of this joker and kill two birds with one stone'." Octavia was laughing so hard, she was afraid the neighbors would complain.
After wiping away a few tears, she looked at Notes and said "You have my blessing completely. I think you're the perfect stallion for Vinyl."
"Really, you think so?"
"Of course darling. You're funny, handsome, and you both play similar music."
"Thanks."
"Now tell me, is there anything you like me?"
I knew this was going to be hard. As we stepped out the door, I knew what I liked about her.
"Well I'm sure your gonna help me pick out one hell of a ring."
It was perfect. The sun was setting as Vinyl and I were on the bench at the park. There wasn't a lot of ponies around so it was quiet.
"It looks beautiful out tonight."
"The perfect night for the perfect mare." I said back to her.
Vinyl smiled and nuzzled my neck. I knew that now was the time to ask.
"Hey let me up please." I said as I tried to get off the bench. I fell off and landed on my forehoof. I bent my left hind hoof and got on my right hind hoof as I clutched my right fore hoof with my wing."
"Oh my gosh. Are you alright?" Vinyl asked concerned.
"I don't know. I think I broke it. Can you check it for me?" I said as I held my hoof out to her.
"Yeah let me see." As her face got closer, I moved my wing out of the way to reveal a box with a diamond ring. Vinyl gasped as her mouth hung open.
"Will you marry me?"
Vinyl began to laugh as she pulled me into hug with tears in her eyes.
"Yes." was all she could get out from her laughter of happiness.
Well the coffee shop was quiet. Where are all the teenagers that usually hang around this place. There were only a few here. I couldn't help but notice one of them who was sort of the background guy of the group. He would say a thing or two that occasionally the group would acknowledge. But he still sat there. He reminds me of Notes. He always had a hard time fitting in. I lost track of my thoughts until a pony burst into the place and ran over to the group of kids.
"Guys, I just heard DJ PON-3 and Electronic Notes are getting married!"
Well thanks to my brother, looks like I got a wedding to go to.
"Son of a bitch."
