Chapter 1: The Exciting World of Buisness

"Another job well done, ma'am." Rarity says to her boss as she watches the news report.

"Yup, since I've started this operation, nighttime crime has gone down drastically. I'd say that's worth a beer. How about it?" Vinyl says, turning to Rarity.

"If I may madam, you have several appointments this afternoon with Miss Octavia among them. I'd suggest going to bed and getting some rest."

"Aw, come on. Just one?" Vinyl asks.

"If I do, you'll have a few and go to bed drunk, then you'll wake up late and go over to the company hungover. Forgive me, but I'm afraid I must say no."

Vinyl takes a minute to process what Rarity just said and nods. "You're probably right. Okay, good night." Then hits the button to turn off the TV and heads upstairs.

"Honestly, I worry about you sometimes." Rarity said to herself.



Later that day, Vinyl heads over to DJ-PON3 Records, the highest rated music company in Equestria, credited for numerous movie music credits, making a number of pop stars famous, and providing Equestria's most beloved DJ.

Inside, a grey earth mare with a black mane and a pink treble clef cutie mark trots up to the door of the biggest office in the building, on the top floor. As she walks up, a couple of buisness stallions walk out. In the room, behind a desk, Vinyl shouts "Come back next month! I'll have some samples ready!"

The mare walks into the office lined with posters of movies and concerts for various stars. "Hey, Tavi." Vinyl said, sitting behind her desk.

"Grettings, Vinyl." Octavia said, sitting on the provided cushions. "Nice to see you're awake and sober for once."

"Yup. So I hear your small band of minstrels has been having a slow year." Vinyl said leaning on her desk.

"Uh, yes, we've been having some trouble finding work lately."

"And you're here to see if we can set up an album contract?"

"Or whatever work you happen to have." Octavia clarified.

"Well, those two stallions you passed by just asked for some help with a movie, and I think it could use a classical touch."

"What's it about?"

"Basically, a young colt, put in an orphanage uses the power of music to help him find his parents."

Octavia pondered this for a second.

"If you'd prefer making an album, you know I need some samples."

"I'll talk to the others and see what they think." Octavia answered. "Thank you for your time, Vinyl."

"I've always got time for you, Tavi. By the way, have you heard the news of that Mare Do Well?"

"Indeed. She's a credit to the city." Octavia replied as she left.

"Yeah I am." Vinyl thought to herself. "Next!"



By late afternoon, Vinyl had returned home. Rarity was there to greet her as per usual.

"Good afternoon, Miss Scratch." Rarity said.

"Hey. My suit's all set to go?"

"Wings are in perfect condition. You live a busy life and hardly get more than four hours of sleep a night. Why not take the night off?"

"Crime doesn't take the night off, Rarity." Vinyl said, boarding the elevator, ready for another night on patrol...
