//------------------------------// // VINYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! // Story: DJ Problems // by joe mother //------------------------------// I walked in complete stunned disbelief through the masses, walking straight towards the panicking Vinyl, who was starting to run in the opposite direction, away from me. I pushed my way through clumps of people, drawing many angry complaints, but that was the least of my worries. "Vinyl!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, ramming through a few bystanders. The DJ hopped on my couch between a few people who were sitting on it and hid behind them. I charged forward, but was stopped as another group of people suddenly formed in front of me. "Gah!" I said as I pushed them aside, finding that the unicorn had vanished while I was distracted by the people who had blocked me. "Son of a bitch!" I turned and looked wildly through the crowd, my anger so enflamed that it would have melted carbon. I saw her trying to run through a group of people into the kitchen. I chased after her, but was grabbed by the collar of my button down. I was spun around and was soon staring into the eyes of a really drunk lady. She leaned in on me, and I smacked her hand away. "Fuck off!" I yelled, turning to continue my chase for Vinyl. If it had been any other time, I would have kissed that lady and loved it, but my mind was preoccupied by the fact that Vinyl had thrown a party without my knowledge and it had only been two days since she had come to Earth. I darted into the kitchen and found it to be nearly empty, with only a few people grabbing beer... my beer. It was then that I saw her, huddled up behind the feet of a pair talking while leaning on my counter. I walked forward and pushed the duo aside, much to their dislike. I grabbed Vinyl and held her up to my face. "What the fuck did you do?!" I yelled. "Maybe we should go somewhere quieter?" the pony in my grasp suggested. I held my hands around her neck as I shoved through the crowd to my bedroom, where I slammed the door shut and locked it. "What did you do?!" I asked. "Well, uh, you see," Vinyl began. "I found that," she pointed at my computer, "and it was on, so I used it and found all of these places that you go to. I found your friends list and invited them all to a party. I don't know how many of them came, but apparently a lot." I set Vinyl down and ran my hand through my hair. "I said that rule number one was 'no parties,'" I said. "I know, but I had to!" "And why is that?" "It has to do with the reason why I'm here." "And what is that reason?" "I- I still don't want to tell you." "Tell me or I'll lock you up in a closet somewhere, cut off your horn, and starve you to death." I know I was being dramatic, but I really wanted to know why she was on Earth. "Fine," she said, looking a bit afraid. "I'm here because Twilight, a unicorn in my world, wanted to know about humans. She sent me because I was interested too. She said to gather as much information about them as possible, and find out what they like to do. Having a party was just my idea, to see if humans liked them." I was in a bit of shock, I will admit. That was not what I expected her to be here for. I expected her to be lying and for her to have no good reason to be here. But I was wrong. "Wow," I said. "Wasn't expecting that, now were you?" Vinyl asked. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. "No I was not," I replied. "But you still broke the rule. Something's going to have to happen." I picked her up and left my room. I went back into the living room, where people were still mulling about, drunk and stupid. I set Vinyl down and went to the front of the room. I turned off the music playing from my TV, which was on one of those music channels. Everyone turned when they heard the beats stop, and they looked like I had just ruined everything. "Alright, people!" I yelled. "It is time for you to-" There was the sound of sirens in the distance. Huh? Police? I thought. "It is time for you to-" The sirens grew louder, and the people around me began to murmur in confusion. "It is time for you to-" The sirens stopped. Oh, fuck. "This is the police!" a voice from outside yelled. "Everyone come out and put your hands up!" The room burst into panicked screams of hysteria as they started running for the door, hands up in the air in a display of surrender. "It is time for you to go," I whispered, following them, motioning for Vinyl to hide somewhere. ~ We had all been lined up and checked over. A few of the party's participants were handcuffed and pushed into a police car, while others were allowed to leave. They eventually reached me, who was the last in line. "Name?" the officer asked. I told him and he wrote it down on a sheet of paper. "Since everyone else said no, I'm going to assume you are the owner of this house?" I winced, "Yes." "Are you aware that you have not only caused an uproarious disturbance but have violated a few rules and regulations?" "Yes." He looked over me. "And you threw this party in full understanding that it was breaking these rules and regulations?" "But it was..." I stopped, not wanting to reveal to anyone about Vinyl. "Yes." I hung my head. "You're going to receive a bill in the mail in a few days. I expect that you will pay the fines. You will also be expected to show up in court to talk about the violations you have made." He handed me a slip of paper with a date on it. "Yes, sir." The officer shot me a glare and got back in his car. The squad drove off, leaving me standing in rage on the yard. I stomped back inside and found Vinyl hiding under my couch. I grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and pulled her to my bedroom, where I dropped her on the ground. "What the fuck?!" I yelled, staring her down, causing her to shake in fear. "I- I'm sorry," she said. "I don't give a damn! I just got fined and I have to go to court to do whatever I have to!" The DJ quaked as I leaned in on her. "I don't know what to do about you now," I said, putting my head in my hands. "I- I guess you could let it slide?" Vinyl asked apprehensively. "Let it slide?" I said. "Let it slide?! Why would I let it slide?!" "I won't do anything bad if you let it slide," she said, looking at me with pleading puppy eyes. I could not resist the power. I had to succumb to the intense adorableness or I would have developed diabetes. "Fine," I said. "But if you do anything, I repeat, anything... so help me I will destroy your soul." The unicorn gulped. I stood and went over to my computer, where I opened up my Facebook. I checked it and such, then went over to 4chan, where I started to surf the many threads. It was not until a few minutes later that I remembered that Vinyl was in the room. "Hey, that's one of the websites I invited people from!" she said. There was a beat. "You invited people... from 4chan?" I asked. "How?" "I started a thread about it!" I turned to my computer. "Where?" I asked. "Uh... it's somewhere." I started clicking through stuff. "Which board?" "Which what?" "Was it /co/, /b/, what?" "Oh! It was /co/!" I began to screech through the board, running down the page until I saw the words PARTY! I clicked it and looked at it. "God," I said. "Why did you do that?" "I just wanted to see what humans did party-wise! Honest!" I stood and started pacing anxiously. "Shit, shit, shit," I said. "Some creeper's going to get my address." I fell to the ground and grabbed at my hair. "Hey, what's the /mlp/ board?" I looked up to see Vinyl moving the mouse with her magic. She was heading to click it. "No!" I yelled. But it was too late. She clicked it and all the ponies popped up. She stood in the chair, staring at the ponies for a minute. She saw herself, Twilight, and Pinkie all together in Sugarcube Corner, and so many other ponies from the show. She saw cosplayers and other weird things. "What the buck?" she asked aloud. "What is this?" I got up and looked at her. It was time to tell her, especially since she had just discovered the /mlp/ board. "I guess I have to explain something," I said. "You bet!" Vinyl yelled.
