Discord's Experiment
By Red Velvet
Vinyl Scratch stares at Flam.
"Give me that book." She says angrily.
Flam laughs. "You want it? Take it."
Vinyl narrows her eyes and stands up on her back feet raising her front hooves to fight. Flam jumps on her and they roll around Flam ending on top.
"That certainly was a short fight." Flam says smugly.
Vinyl kicks him in the chest and then rolls him over pressing him down with her hooves. Flam laughs and then stares into her eyes.
Vinyl looks away. "This is a little awkward..."
Flam reaches up and kisses Vinyl.
Vinyl jumps off of Flam with disgust. "What the hell was that?"
Flam shrugs. "Sorry Vinyl it was in the moment."
"How do you even know my name?" She asks while trying to spit the Flam out of her mouth.
Flam smiles. "I've seen you play before. DJ P0N-3 you're quite good."
"I have to go. Give me that book." Vinyl walks toward the hole opening.
"Only if you come see me tomorrow." Flam says while grabbing the book and pulling it in close.
Vinyl stares at him confused. "What? Why?"
Flam stares at her. "Isn't it obvious?"
Vinyl gags. "Eww you're crushing on me? I have to go this is just to freaky."
Flam nods. "See you tomorrow."
Vinyl climbs out of the hole and runs back to Luna, Spitfire, and Soarin.
"Hey guys. I'm gonna go to bed now. Good night." Vinyl says quickly before laying down and shutting her eyes.
Spitfire stares at her for a moment. "Uhhh. What?"
Soarin shrugs and whispers something to Spitfire.
***************
Vinyl Scratch wakes up and stretches. She looks down to see a note carved into the ground.
Vinyl stares down at it. "Dear Vinyl, we couldn't wait for you to wake up so we left without you. Don't worry about being left behind though because we decided this would be our camp while we search for Flam."
Vinyl smiles and walks down to the brook and washes her face.
"Since my friends left me alone I can go see Flam. Not that I would want to, but..."
Vinyl walks over to the hole and jumps inside to be greeted with a hoof slamming into her face.
Flam lets out a shocked cry. "Vinyl? Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to!"
Vinyl glares at him. "What do you want?"
Flam leans in to kiss her and Vinyl pushes him away.
"Are you seriously trying to make a move on me?" Vinyl stares at him angrily.
Flam sighs. "Sorry. I forgot."
Flam lights some torches which allows Vinyl to see the rest of the hole including a table beautifully set for dinner.
Vinyl facehoofs. "Is this supposed to impress me?"
Flam looks down at his hooves sadly. "I guess you're right. We could never be together."
Vinyl takes a step closer. "Give me the book and maybe we can be."
Flam sits down and shakes his head sadly. "Take the book and leave. I don't care anymore."
Discord's mouth appears on the ground and gasps. "Why are you giving her the book?"
Vinyl jumps and turns to Discord's mouth.
"Well you sure do have a way of sneaking up on ponies." She growled.
Discord's hand appears and shoves Vinyl aside. "If you give her the book I want something in return."
Flam smiles. "What, my lord?"
Discord's mouth smiles. "Vinyl, will go get me some water. I'm a bit parched."
Vinyl stares at him shocked. "That's it? Fine. I'll be back in a few."
Vinyl climbs out of the hole and walks over to the brook.
"I forgot to bring a glass." She says sounding annoyed.
When she turns back toward the hole three bright green PonyCraft Creepers come towards her hissing.
Vinyl jumps back. "What are these things?"
She shoots one with a blast of magic and the Creeper explodes nocking vinyl onto her back. She closes her eyes in fear and starts to shake. When she opens her eyes again both of the Creepers are gone and Flam is standing there shaking his head.
Vinyl stares at him astonished. "Y-You saved me?"
Flam nods. "Yeah. But you need to be more careful. How could you fall for Discord's trap?"
Vinyl smiles at him and stands up. "You saved my life. So I guess I owe you dinner."
Flam laughs. "Yes. Yes you do. Oh thank you, Discord!"
"Maybe I was thinking about him wrong. Just because he follows Discord doesn't mean he's evil." She whispers to herself.
Vinyl follows him back to the and they jump inside to see Big Mac standing there laughing.
Vinyl gasps. "Big Mac?!?!"
Big Mac nods as a BodySnatcher flies down and slithers into Vinyl's mouth.
"No!" Flam screams as Vinyl collapses onto the floor for a moment before being possessed.
Big Mac bucks Flam into the wall nocking him out.
Big Mac smiles. "Now that we have Flam we can revive Celestia and then we will be able to enter Equestria."
Vinyl Scratch smiles and picks up the book.
