6:32pm: The train pulled up in the Manehatten station.

In the back room, Vinyl opened her eyes, sat up on the bed and stretched. She looked around the room, Octavia wasn't in the room. She got up and headed for the door. Before opening it, she heard yelling coming from the other side. It was Octavia, Vinyl peeked out.

"I don't care how many bits you make, You can't just go around slapping mares on the flank!" Octavia was yelling at tall stallion, with a gold body and a sliver mane.

"I am terribly sorry," the Stallion said in a polite manner, "It's just every mare likes it when I do that to them." he added.

"I'm not every mare, so take your perverted self and get off the train!" Vinyl realized who Octavia was talking to, and quickly intervened.

"You must excuse my partner Octavia, she can tend to over react." She pulled Octavia to the side. "Octie, do you have any idea who you were yelling at?"

"Yes, he is a pervert, he slapped my flank,"

"I know what you’re getting at, but that's Top Dollar you were yelling at. He's the richest pony to come out of Manehatten."

Octavia was stunned. She turned back to him. "Sorry about yelling, I don't really like it when stallions touch my flank."

"The fault is mine. I'm sorry." Top Dollar looked at the two of them. "Say you know my name, it would be wrong of me not to ask your names."

"I'm Vinyl Scratch, you've already met Octavia."

"Octavia Symphony is my full name; it's a real honor to meet you"

"I would say the same. Say, I'm heading into town why don't you walk with me. I know we just met, but I would like to know you more." the three of them got off the train and headed into town, "So why are you here?"

"We are here to see my aunt and uncle," Vinyl replied. "They want to meet Octavia,"

"I see, let me guess you two are a couple?" Top Dollar asked

"How did you know?" Octavia asked.

"I overheard you about sleeping together earlier. But don't mind me, I'm ok with it. It's what makes you two happy."

"Well, I've got something to take care of," Vinyl said. "It was nice meeting you sir."

"That's fine with me, I've got my own matters to attend too. If I ever see you two again dinner or lunch is on me" with that Top Dollar tipped his mane and headed down the road and out of sight.

Octavia was confused, "What do you have to do Vinyl?"

"I need to go see the Sheriff."

"Vinyl, did you do something behind my back that was illegal?"

"No, I have this letter from Derpy, which I promised to give him." Vinyl replied, "The sooner I do this, the sooner we can head to my aunt and uncle's place." she said with a smile. "Stick with me, my sense of direction is the best in Equestria."

"I trust you sweetie but you don't have to lie."

"What's wrong with my sense of direction?" Vinyl was confused.

"You walked around a small tree one time and got lost."

"That only happened once." She defended, then she realized what she said, "I mean... let’s just go."

"Ok Vinyl." Octavia followed her down the streets, being careful not to get separated; and after hearing some of Vinyl's back story she didn't want to risk bumping into some thug or complete monster like Brass Hoof. But they managed to make it to the police station. Vinyl knocked on the front door. A brown earth pony answered.

"Hello, can I help you?"

"Six-Shooter?"

"Wait I've seen you before, let me think, you’re... you’re..."

"A DJ?"

"Vinyl, little Vinyl?" He ran up and hugged her, "It is you, what brings to Manehatten? And who's your friend?"

"Visiting my aunt and uncle. This is my mare friend Octavia Symphony, but I have a letter for Night Stick from Derpy."

"Wait Sharif Night Stick? Vinyl, I'm the Sheriff now because Night Stick isn't here anymore."

"What did something happen, did he die?"

"No, he is still alive but he can no longer be a cop,"

Octavia was now curious "What happened?"

"His gun went off in its holster and paralyzed he hind leg. But I still visit him and I'll be more than happy to give him the letter."

"Thank you Six," she said as she hoofed over the letter to him, "It was good seeing you again." Vinyl looked at Octavia and nodded, signaling it was time to go. "Luckily their house isn't far from here,"

"That enplanes how the cops found you so quickly every time." Octavia joked.

"I was arrested only once you know it." the two stopped talking and headed for A-Track's and Turn Table's place. It was a quiet walk and the finally made it. Octavia went up and knocked on the door three times. A male voice from inside shouted:

"Go Away!"

She knocked again, same response.

"Go Away!"

She knocked once more and got the same response.

"Go Away!"

Now about to lose it she was about to knock again when Vinyl cut her off.

"Octie, let me handle this." She stretched out her arms and Pounded on the door and yelled, "Open Up The Door Dang It, Or I'll Break It Down!"

This time the voice replied: "Come in Vinyl," and the door opened.

"Uncle Turn Table," she ran in and gave her Uncle a big hug, he responded with a noogie. Octavia followed in. He was Maroon Unicorn with a record for a cutie mark.

"Vinyl, you’re not supposed to be here until tomorrow," he had a bit of swing to his voice, as if he was from the disco.

"We weren't sure how long the train would take to get here so we came early."

"We?"

"Yes, Octavia come on over here and meet my Uncle," Octavia walked over

"So this is the mare you’re dating, the one me and your aunt read about in your letters."

"A pleasure to meet you." She held out her hoof to shake. He grabbed her and gave her a noogie.

"No need to act formal around here Octavia," He said letting her go, her mane was a wreck.

"He likes to give noogies," Vinyl added.

"I can see that," she was not amused and fixed her mane.

"Your aunt and I figured you would be staying the night when you came over for dinner, so let me show you two to your room. Yes, we will let you two sleep together, it would be cruel not to."

"Say where is Aunt A-Track?"

"Out shopping or probably getting drunk, I told her if she wants to get drunk, use my Applejack Daniel's." Octavia looked Vinyl suspiciously. "It's getting late you two, I'm waiting for A-Track to get home, I'll let her know you are here. You remember where your room is right Vinyl?"

"Yes silly. Come Octie." the two headed for their room; The room as small and simple, it had a bed and a night stand that had records painted on it. once there Vinyl spoke:

"So yes that was my Uncle."

"I can see that you get some of your personality for him."

"That's true,"

"That and you’re drinking habits."

"Hey,"

"What about A-Tack?"

"Just wait until the morning, until then let’s get some sleep." The two crawled into bed, kissed each other and fell asleep in each other’s arms. Waiting for morning to come.
