Heart of Vinyl

The Party

Vinyl Scratch pulled her signature shades over her eyes, put on her special headphones, hit the lights, and started up the music, her favorite artist, Daft Punk. Sure, she was a DJ, and she always performed in public, but the one thing she always felt awkward doing was dancing. But, hay, it was her building, so why not dance? Vinyl Scratch started doing some sort of robot-esque dance, when eight ponies and a dragon rushed in, all catching her dancing.
If you think you have seen somepony's face turn red, you've never met Vinyl Scratch. She can be all cool, but if she embarasses herself all bets are off.
"Alright, alright, I know, it's funny. I just like this song." She said to the laughing friends. "Lyra, Bon Bon, you made it!"
"Sure did! I never miss a chance to hang out with friends!" Lyra said.
Just then, the next track started playing. Vinyl Scratch had forgotten to remove it from the playlist, because everypony always asked what a "Human" was. But apparently, Lyra already knew.
She practically tackled Vinyl Scratch with a hug, shouting, "FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE LEGEND!!! People never believe me when I-mmph!"
Bon Bon had practically torn Lyra off of Vinyl Scratch, and covered her muzzle, yet she still continued to mumble to herself after Bon Bon had let her go.
Vinyl Scratch, by then, had skipped to the next track and deleted "Human after all" from the playlist.
Rainbow Dash then asked, "where did you get all this high tech equipment? I haven't seen anything like it in... ever! It's like a really futuristic version of the Z-13 processor, but that can only process mere kilobytes of data per second..."
Twilight was astonished. "Rainbow Dash, how did you-"
"Just because I'm the best flyer in Equestria, doesn't mean that I can't be a computer enthusiast. Anyway, what were you saying, Vinyl?
"A friend of mine is an inventor. He was also the Microphone Controller at my club a while back." Suddenly, a knock came at the door.
Vinyl Scratch then walked to the door, and opened it, just as the next track started up. She always said that this was MC's theme song. He enjoyed the dub-trot sound it had.
"MC!" Vinyl Scratch shouted as she hugged him tightly, and slightly awkwardly, because she was much shorter than him. It didn't help that she was a little shorter than most mares her age, and MC was unusually tall, but still quite attractive.
"So, should we get this party started?!" Shouted Pinkie Pie, pulling a special cannon from nowhere.
"No way! You got the party cannon finished!" Vinyl Scratch said in awe.
"Sure did! Did you ever figure out your bass cannon?"
"Yeah, but I'll talk to you about that later. Can you get the party going, Pinkie?" Vinyl asked.
"Duh! I've got this covered, Scratchie." Pinkie replied.
"Hey, MC... Can I talk to you for a minute?" Vinyl asked in a quieter voice.
"No problem." MC replied, just as quietly.
"What was that about, earlier?" Vinyl asked, once they got to a private place.
"Vinyl, back in Manehattan, I had been alone. The only thing I lived for was being with you every late night." MC said. "I really liked you back then, and I knew that I wanted to ask you out, but I was too afraid I couldn't get somepony as awesome as you."
"Oh, MC, you should have asked..." Vinyl stated.
"I know... That's why I'm asking now." MC continued, quietly. "So, could I have a chance?"
"Yes, you can!" Vinyl said as she hugged him tightly around the neck.
"Thanks, Scratch." He said with a soft smile.
"But is a long distance relationship going to work? I dont think-"
"I sold my house in Manehattan. I have nothing but you anymore." MC said sadly.
Vinyl paused for a minute. "You can stay with me." She said, finally. "Really, it's no problem. I have an extra room."
"Thanks so much, Vinyl." MC said.
"Yeah... Now, lets go to that party, huh?" Vinyl suggested.
"Yeah, that'd be fun." MC answered.
