Vinyl Scratch was incredibly bored. Rainbow Dash was having another one of her "moments," and it was never fun to be around one of those. So she was just sitting there, in Rainbow Dash's basement, wishing her house wasn't currently a giant crater because of a fireworks prank gone wrong. But it didn't matter, she was at Dash's house most of the time anyways. It was just a shame she couldn't go upstairs because of Dash. "One of these days..." She thought, "I'll figure out what happened to that mare..." She let out an exaggerated sigh. Her gaze wondered over to a tube of EZ fix.
"I wonder what this tastes like..." She thought out loud, and levitated it over with her magic. After much struggle, she twisted the lid off, and stuck her tongue to the white paste. She immediately spat it out, going into a coughing fit.
"AW, gross! What's even in this stuff?" She didn't find the ingredients list, but she did find a warning label. "Warning: Do not eat; may cause deformities. Shit..." A pair of draconic wings appeared at her sides. "Oh, come on! Now I just look like some fanboy's OC! Well, at least I can easily get out of here now..." Vinyl said, and punched a hole through the cloud wall(don't even ask). She jumped through, attempting to glide down, but ended up falling on her face from a thousand feet up. She got up,(Take that, logic!) dusted herself off, stumbled around a bit, and ended up fine. She used her creepy unicorn magic to incinerate the wings because of their uselessness. She was about to go buy some useless junk she didn't even need, when a random swirly rainbow portal appeared in front of her, spat out a dark looking pony, and disappeared.
"Hey, I thought me and Dash were the only ones able to do that! Did you read my mind and learn all my secrets, or something like that?" Vinyl questioned.
"Er... What? Ugh... Where am I?" He asked. He was a unicorn with a dark gray coat with a brown mane, and a lighter brown streak on his forelock. He also wore a dark, almost purple cape with some creepy purple eyes on the back of it.
"Oooh, you must be from another universe! I've read about this in fanfictions! My name's Vinyl Scratch, and you, my friend, are a pony!"
---
A what? This pony was confusing Rythian more and more. He was obviously human. Well... part human, at least. This... whatever it was, was trying to tell him that he was a... PONY? His gaze fell upon two hooves where his arms should have been.
"For some reason that look of realization in your eyes makes me laugh." Vinyl laughed, completely oblivious to his panic. "Okay, Rythia, just calm down. Let's see... the last thing I remember is a... I'm going to say a portal, pulled me here after Blackrock exploded. Oh no! Zoey!" He thought to himself, suddenly remembering his apprentice.
"Oh no, I didn't mean to make you cry! I know some ponies are a bit sensitive, but-" Vinyl was cut off by Rythian awkwardly standing up and glaring at her.
"It's not you, you ignorant fool! My best friend could be dead because of by greatest enemy, so a talking horse is the least of my troubles!" Rythian snapped. "Look I'm sorry, it's just..." He began to trail off.
"Oh, I understand. My best friend died too." Vinyl said grimly.
"Seriously?" Rythian asked.
"Yup. Multiple times, actually. Them Creepers, ya know?" Vinyl told him.
"Wait, you have creepers here, too?" His eyes widened at the thought.
"Nope. That was a completely different universe. She's fine now." She explained. "Oh, I don't think I ever got your name."
"Er, Rythian." He told the strange horse, unicorn, whatever it was, he really didn't care anymore.
"Nice to meet ya, Rythian! Come on, I'll take you to my friend's place. I just hope she's done with her moment..."
"What was that?" He asked.
"Um, nothing. Come on!" She said, and her horn began to glow.
"What are you doing?!" He stepped back, but his hove began to glow. It was over in a second, and he was left looking at her in wonder and slight fear.
"Cloud walking spell. My friends a pegasus, and us unicorns can't walk on clouds like them without this spell. Hold still, I just need to teleport us now..." Vinyl explained, and readied her horn again.
"Wait, no!' But in a flash of light, him and Vinyl were in someone's living room, but it appeared to be made of... clouds?
"DASH? ARE YOU SANE AGAIN?" Vinyl called. There was a bit of banging around before a cyan pony appeared. It had wings, which didn't surprise Rythian as much as the fact that its mane was rainbow colored. But then again, Vinyl's mane was blue.
"No! No! I need more Redbull or my wings will disappear! AHHH!" The cyan mare dove into the kitchen, shifting throught the cupboards at unnatural speeds, chanting the word Redbull. This was going to be a long day...
