Octavia stretched her hooves forward as she sat up in her bed, she yawned as she crawled out of bed and made her way to her bathroom. She brushed her teeth and then combed her mane, she than felt something a miss.
Unlike her other mornings, she didn’t wake up to the usual loud bass of her roommate shaking their home and dubstep reverberation off the walls. Curious as to why the silence, Octavia opened her door and made her way to the DJ's room.
“Vinyl are you up yet?” she asked as she knocked on the door. She waited a few moments before continuing her questions, “Did everything go alright between you and Treble last night? You two seemed to be getting along well” Octavia said with a laugh. She waited and after a few moments of silence she looked irritated. “Vinyl are you even listening to me?” she asked as she opened her door.
Octavia’s face held a look of confusion, as she peered into the room she saw that Vinyl’s bed was still made from the morning before. Octavia slowly shut the door as she attempted to guess where her friend had gone, she was usually up by now and she never went anywhere until the evening. Octavia walked down the hall heading to the living room still pondering as to where Vinyl was, but when she reached the living room she got her answer.
Octavia giggled as to what she saw, sleeping on the couch sofa were two musicians. Treble had apparently fallen asleep sitting up and Vinyl’s head rested in his lap as though he were a pillow. They looked so cute Octavia almost didn’t want to wake them, she walked over to were the two lay and cleared her throat rather loudly. Vinyl’s eyes slowly began blinking as she attempted to open them. When she got her eyes half open, she was surprised to see Octavia standing in front of her.
“Hey, mornin beautiful” Vinyl said as she attempted to speak through a yawn. “Did you sleep well last night” Vinyl teased knowing her friend always had trouble sleeping with the loud music.
“Funny you should mention that,” Octavia said with a bit of a sassy tone. “I was just about to ask you the same thing” Octavia giggled at Vinyl as she said this.
“What are you talking abou…” The unicorn stopped in mid question when she realized she wasn’t in her room. Her eyes now fully open, she sat up quick blushing as she realized where she was sleeping. Her quick movement shifted Treble and caused him to slowly open his eyes, he saw where he was and began rubbing his eyes to see if it was a dream.
Sure enough it was real. Vinyl looked back at him and as they locked eyes they both began blushing now. They then both turned to face Octavia who had a smile on her face as she stared back at them.
“Tavia this is not what it looks like” Treble said as he got up quickly causing Vinyl to fall off him and on to the floor face first following a moan of pain.
“We were doing some late night sessions and then I started getting drowsy so I sat down on the couch and…”
“Nothing happened between us I swear” Vinyl interrupted as Treble was speaking. “We just got tired and…”
“Neither of you has to explain anything to me,” said Octavia as she giggled at them. “I’m just glad your both getting along SO well” Octavia placed emphasis on what she said as if to tease the two ponies. Octavia turned her back to them before she continued, “I knew you two would hit it off great but I didn’t know you’d become an item”
“We’re not an item!” both the ponies replied in unison.
“If you say so,” Octavia replied grinning at the two “Anyways I must get going, my ensemble is rehearsing in Canterlot and the train leaves in 20 minutes. While I’m gone you two are in charge of the house” Octavia grabbed her Cello and made her way to the door. She looked back at the two unicorns before exiting, “And Vinyl, no Bass Cannon Parties while I’m gone” The DJ gave a defeated moan as Octavia said this, after which, Octavia smiled back and shut the door behind her.
The two remained silent as they stood in the living room, neither of them looked at the other. After a few moments, the silence was finally broken.
“Alright look,” Vinyl said as she turned to him “We’re just gonna forget this morning happened and move on with our lives, deal?” Vinyl extended her hoof as she asked this. Without hesitation, Treble reached for it.
“Deal” he replied as their hooves connected. “Hey are you busy today?” Treble asked as he turned to face the door.
“Not at the moment, why wassup?” Vinyl replied as she went over to her stand and grabbed her trademark shades and put them on.
“Well as much as I liked staying here I actually intend on getting my own place here in Ponyville but I’m not sure where to start looking. So I was wondering if you could show me around town a bit?” Treble scratched the back of his head nervously as he spoke.
“No prob, let me just grab something first” Vinyl said as she dashed to her equipment and grabbed her headphones and put them around her neck. “I never leave home without ‘em” she said with a grin.
“Same here,” Treble replied as he now put his own headphones around his neck. “Lead the way,” said Treble as opened the door and motioned for Vinyl outside. As they began to leave, the two DJs encountered an unlikely visitor waiting for them. A blonde haired pegasus with a rather large box was staring at them, though with her eye, neither Vinyl nor Treble knew exactly where she was staring.
"Hey Derpy, wassup?" Vinyl asked as she locked the door behind her and Treble.
"Oh, you know just the usual. Delivering mail wherever its gotta go, speaking of which, I got something here for you" Derpy began to push the package to the door and pushed to hard causing it to fall and nearly land on Treble. "I'd love to stay and chat but I got lots of more mail to deliver," Derpy gave Vinyl a crooked salute before she flew off.
As Vinyl examined the package she realized it wasn't addressed to her, but instead was for Treble. "It's got your name on it," she said as she began to open the box.
"If it's for me than why are you opening it?"
"Because I like opening boxes," Vinyl said as she dug through the last of the foam. She looked over at Treble who had a doubtful look, "So I'm nosey, sue me" Vinyl dumped out the rest of the box's contents to find several pieces of a DJ stand and turntables. When she quickly assembled it, Vinyl began staring at the turntable as though she was mesmerized.
"Oh sweet it's my equipment from home, I didn't think it'd get here so soon I'm supposed to have a house to put this in," Treble stared at Vinyl as she slowly began moving the turntables back and forth making scratching motions. "What? You can't possibly say you've never seen a turntable before?"
"This isn't just any set of turntables," Vinyl had a look of awe on her face. "These are made by Yamahoof, only the best brand of music production equipment in all of Equestria. What'd I'd give to test these bad boys out," Vinyl's face shot up quick as she stared at Treble with a smile, "Can we?"
"I don't know, I really should be getting a place to stay and I'm sure there are alot to checkout," Treble walked over to her and gave her a playful shove, "Plus, you know how we get. We'll be inside all day"
"Okay look, Tavi isn't gonna be back for the rest of the day, so how about today we drop the search and tomorrow I'll give you a tour of town and help you find a place you like? Oh and don't worry about a place to stay you can crash here again, just this time you sleep in Tavi's room, deal?" Treble seemed a bit hesitant, he really did need a to find a permanent residence in Ponyville, but he didn't want to dissapoint the only friend he had made.
"Alright, deal"
"Great!" Vinyl unlocked the door and pushed both the equipment and Treble quickly into the house. After a few moments of set up Vinyl turned to face Treble, "You ready for another all night session or are you gonna fall asleep again?" she teased.
"Sleep is for the weak," Treble said as he put his headphones on. "Now, let's get busy" he said as he turned to the pale unicorn.
"With pleasure"
