//------------------------------// // 4. Drop that date // Story: Life in ponyville: Back from Manehattan // by Lightning Crystal //------------------------------// After my visit to the hospital I went back home and just sat, I didn't want to get hurt again. Waiting, and sitting got kinda boring so I decided to go for a small walk close to home. When I opened the door I saw Vinyl in front of me waiting. "Um Vinyl, what's up?" I asked a little bit confused. "Oh not much Light." Vinyl stood there her face soon going red and then she turned away from me. "I need you to go out with me!" "Wait, what!" I shouted even more confused. "What do you mean you need me to go out with you!" "Listen it's not my idea." Vinyl turned back to face me again. "Okay yeah it is my plan but I have a good reason." I stood there and looked at her bemused as to what she had to say. "See there's this gig that I want to do, but, they won't let me unless I have a coltfriend or husband." "Why would they make that a requirement?" I invited Vinyl inside and sat down on my couch. "It's just odd, normally you could do your job without having that requirement." "Well they want me to show that I do have love." Vinyl sighed and placed her head in her hooves. "Please just go out with me." I stared at her for a bit, she was kind of cute, but she was also my friend, and I didn't want it to be awkward between us at all, but just as I was about to say no Vinyl cut in and said. "If you do this for me I promise I won't send you to the hospital for three weeks." 'Is that a threat, or an actual promise?' I thought to myself as I looked at her, eventually I gave in. "Okay fine, i'll go out with you, but it's only for this one job, got it?" I told her. "Got it, thank you so much Light, you won't regret this!" She hugged me and then ran out of my house quickly, I presumed it was to go tell the ponies that she was doing the job for. "What have I gotten myself into?" I asked myself as I laid down on the couch. "I hope this doesn't blow up in my face." I met vinyl at her gig at eight pm, I was impressed on how she looked, she was wearing a nice hoodie which most ponies would find odd, but not me, I mean, heck, i'm almost always wearing my cloak, even to this I was wearing my cloak. We greeted each other and went inside from the back showing that Vinyl had a coltfriend we were allowed entrance and soon I was handed some things you'd see a dj have, some headphones, and a few glow sticks. "Hey, what are these for?" I asked and looked towards Vinyl. "Oh yeah, kinda forgot to mention, you'll have to preform with me, hehe." Vinyl then rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "What!" I shouted a bit angry. "That was not part of what you told me at my house!" "Listen it was a last minute change, just follow my lead and you'll be fine." She smiled and looked at me with her always confident look, I sighed and nodded. We soon walked out to the stage thing and got everything ready, soon enough ponies started pouring in and the music was started. Vinyl tapped me and motioned for me to copy what she did. Soon enough I was getting into the groove of things, spinning the discs, tossing the glow sticks, and having a great time, I always got a hang of things quickly, and this was no exception. Vinyl then looked to somepony offstage I wasn't paying attention but soon then Vinyl pushed me onto the setup. "Whoa Vinyl what the-" I started but I was soon cut off by Vinyl flipping me around and planting a huge kiss on me. I heard the crowd go wild at that, so I figured it was all just for show, I let her do what she needed for the gig. But her muzzle was soft, I felt myself almost dying cause of how good it was. She poked at my muzzle with her tongue and I knew what she wanted somehow. I opened up my mouth and I felt her tongue intertwine with mine, my eyes slowly started to close and when the did I felt myself kissing back. In our embrace and kiss, I kept hearing ponies egging us on to do more than just make out, but neither of us went more, we just finished making out and stared at each other blushing. "W-Wow." I said a bit love drunk. "Come on, just two more hours and we're finished with the gig." Vinyl looked at me, I then shook my head to get me into reality and nodded. "Then let's go." I woke up the next day with a pounding in my head and a weird taste in my mouth. "What happened last night?" I said aloud to myself I sat up from where I was laying down and saw that somepony was sleeping next to me. "Hey wake up, what happened last night?" I asked them while giving them a light shake. "Shut up Light." Vinyl said as she sat up as well, I jumped a small bit when I saw that it was her. "Wanna know what happened last night?" She asked and I nodded. "We got out of control with the make out session and well I kinda tossed you off the stage into the crowd you were having fun, till you were dropped and hit your head." Vinyl yawned and stretched. "After the gig I picked you up and carried you home, I was tired so I decided to stay the night." "Oh, that's all?" I asked and she nodded. "Well atleast nothing bad happened. "And I didn't have to go tho the hospital too, so that's a win." "Yeah, well i'll keep my promise, I'll try not to hurt you for three weeks." "Thanks Vinyl, it means a lot to me." She blushed after I said that. "Yeah no problem, also one more thing." "What is it?" I asked a bit confused. "We're breaking up." I chuckled a small bit and she gave a light laugh. "Okay, well it's a mutual break up then." I smiled and got out of my bed to go to the kitchen for something to eat.
