//------------------------------// // Chapter One: Canter to Canterlot // Story: Hoofsteps to Dubstep // by DerpyandtheDoctor //------------------------------// Hoof steps could be heard from behind a closed door. A knock was heard, as the pale pink mares eye's flicked opened. Another set of knocks came from the door. A soft voice came from the pale pink mare "Hello?" it said to the pony knocking. "Come on Rose! You are going to miss it!" A voice called from behind the door. Rosey Posey, the pink mare, hopped out of her bed. She grabbed her brush and she stretched her wings. One stroke at a time, to get the knots out. She brushed her bright pale orange mane and tail and slipped of a tourqiouse hair band and tied her tail up in a matching band. She trotted out of the bedroom and towards a much brighter happier room were a brown mare sat on a couch with a remote-control/converter (Which other you prefer) gasped gently in her hoof. "Hurry Rose! It's is just about on!" She beckoned Rosey Posey. "Calm your hooves Cocoa! I'm coming! I'm Coming!" Rosey Posey said with a slight giggle as she sat beside Cocoa Bean. She smiled and focused on the T.V. as a white mare with a two toned blue hair and an interviewer appeared. She smiled as she watched Vinyl Scratch being interviewed. Vinyl was one of Rose's favourite pony of all time! She was her hero, her mentor! She looked up to the Djing unicorn. Rose smiled mischievously as she was thrown into deep thought. She beamed and turned to her sister "Lets go to Canterlot!" Cocoa was obviously startled due to her sister's random outburst. Her mouth gaped for a few seconds before she spoke up "Canterlot? Are you crazy, girl!?" She asked shaking her head. "Puh-leaase!" Rosey said resting her hooves of the brown Pegasus's arm. She sighed and removed her hooves as Cocoa Bean glared at her. "Okay, think about it this way: If we go to Canterlot I may get an agent or meet some famous pony with some sort of connections! It could be my big chance! Come on Cocoa! It's be fun! You could also join dance competitions!" She said smirking slightly as she said the last bit. Cocoa's eyes widen "Well, now that you have explain it all! We will leave ASAP!" She said jumping from the couch and cantering to her room. Rosey smiled as she heard the soft click of Cocoa Bean's door shutting and a quiet rustling noise. She hoped up and trotted to her own room, packing her yellow and orange dotted suitcase. ~~~ Cocoa and Rosey sat on the bench at the train station. Rosey smiled widely as her heart pounded in her chest. Thump, Thump, thump. She taped her hoof to the rhythm of her heart beat and imagined being on a stage with an expensive turntable, nearly breaking the walls of the building with the loud thumps emitting from the large speakers. She smiled and hummed the melody of one of her recent Songs. Cocoa turned towards the happy pony beside her and shook her gently as a long gray and brown train approached. "Lets go rose! The trains here!" She said hopping up from the bench and grabbing her suitcase. Rose smiled and stood. She grabbed her bag and trotted onto the train with a smile. Rose sat next to her sister and stared out the window. The train started with a rumbled and a loud toot of it's horn. It started down the tracks with a clickity clack that slowly got faster as the train gained momentum. Rose listened to the clicking down the train made and bopped her head to it as if it were a song. she stretched her wings and laid them down, stretched one over her cutie mark, a vinyl record with three music notes on it. ~~~ Rose yawned and looked around. She didn't even noticed that she fell asleep. The Train stopped with a screech and Cocoa bolted awake. "Come on Cocoa!" Rose said as she nudges her sister out of the seat. She grabs both the bags and trots off the cluttered train in excitement. Cocoa Bean yawned and looked around "Come on! Lets get to the hotel..." She said grabbing her bag from her sister. Rose nodded and followed closely behind. She blinked her bright red eyes and sighed as a pony gasped and shuddered at her eye colour. If there was one thing she liked about having red eyes, was that she had the same unlikely colour as her role model, Vinyl Scratch. Rose and Cocoa both smiled as their hotel came into sight. They walked into it and knew right away that it wasn't going to be one of the best Canterlot had to provide, but it was just right for their taste. Rose trotted towards the check in desk and smiled at the brown pony behind it. "Hello!" Rose said with a smile. The Mare behind the counter smiled "How can i help you today?" She asked with a brilliant, but almost forced, smile. Cocoa spoke up "We are here to check in, under Cocoa Bean!" She said smiling The mare nodded and handed Cocoa two room key cards "Enjoy your stay at the Sun Set Hotel" She said in her cheery voice. Cocoa and Rose nodded a goodbye as they lugged their heavy suitcases towards the elevator. "DING" The doors flung open and the two mares trotted in side by side. A soft, quiet elevator music rang out as they pushed the button for level 18 and waited for it to go up. Rose longed for the loud rhythmic club music that came from those with the talent. She closed her eyes and sighed and listened the the soft whirring noise the elevator made, that of which not many ponies could hear. The elevator slowly rumbled to a stop and dinged as the doors flung open. Rose's eyes flung open in wonder, since it was much to early for their floor. She gasped in what she saw "DJ PON-3" She shouted in excitement. The white unicorn winced at the pale pink pony's outburst "I prefer Vinyl Scratch when not in the club" She said with a glorious smile. She didn't quite have a good glimpse of the two other ponies in the elevator, as she was occupied with finding the right floor number. Rose smiled widely and nodded "I'm Rosey Posey, and I adore your music! I am a Dj also, but my work can't even compare with yours!" She said being sure not to raise her voice. Vinyl smiled "Nice to meet ya Rosey Posey! I bet your music is good too! I would love to listen to it one day!" She said smiling. Rose nodded "I would love that! But you might have to wait awhile, I don't have any gigs for awhile" She said with a sharp sigh. Vinyl smiled "Hey, if you would like you and your friend could come to my gig tonight! You can also spin a few discs if you would like!" She said looking at Cocoa. Rose felt her cheeks turn crimson. It wasn't very noticeable because of her fur but her cheeks burned at the thought that she completely forgot about her sister "We would love that! And this is my sister Cocoa Bean" She said and nudged her sister lightly. Cocoa smiled and leaned close to Rose. "Thanks for forgetting about me" She whispered in her embarrassed sister's ear Rose rolled her eyes and turned back to Vinyl Scratch "So why are you at a hotel... like... this?" She asked tapped her hoof gently against the floor and flicking her tail gently Vinyl chuckled "Well, usually there are always expensive and 'regal' ponies at more expensive hotels, I couldn't take one more dirty look, so I decided that Sun Set Hotel reminded me of my home back in Pony Ville" She said smiling as the elevator reached level 18. "Well this is my stop!" She said with a grin Rose and Cocoa nodded and also grabbed their bags "Ours as well!" The Three ponies trotted down the hall way until the party stopped in the hallway between 275 and 276. The exchanged glances. Cocoa smiled at Vinyl "It was nice meeting you Vinyl Scratch! Seems that we are at our room!" She said turned towards 275. Viynl Scratch chuckled slightly "Looks like I'm at my room as well! See you two at 8:30 p.m.?" She asked smiling Rose nodded "We will be ready!" And with that the ponies entered there rooms.
