Mischief's Big Break

Breakfast with Vinyl

Vinyl seemed really tired in the morning. Mischief really didn’t know why, because all she did on the way to Fillydelphia was sit there and watch a movie. Last night Vinyl and Mischief talked a bit and went to sleep. Mischief woke up first and got out of his top bunk, trying not to disturb Vinyl and went out into the kitchen-type-area. Mischief’s crew found out that he would be traveling with Vinyl for the next 6 months, so Mischief gave them all a paid vacation for the time he would be with Vinyl. Needless to say, they were extremely happy. Mischief got himself a bowl of cereal and sat down at the table. “This bus is a lot better than mine. I guess I should get a new tour bus.” Mischief thought out loud. Then Vinyl got out of her bottom bunk and came out to see Mischief. “You already ate breakfast?” Vinyl asked, but she was still half asleep. “Yeah. I had some cereal.” Mischief put the bowl in the sink. “Where are we going tonight?” Mischief asked Vinyl. Mischief couldn’t wait to do a show with his idol, and just the night before he almost fainted when she started to talk to him. Being on a tour with her never even struck his mind because he thought it wouldn’t have ever happened. But this was reality! Him, doing a tour with Vinyl Scratch! The most famous DJ in all of Equestria! This was going so fast that it felt as if a truck hit him, he started spinning in the air and never stopped spinning. He hoped he just wouldn’t fall and break some bones. “We’re stopping in Hoofington.” What? Oh, he already forgot he even asked Vinyl a question. “Oh, that’s awesome! How big is the venue?” Mischief replied. Vinyl noticed that he had a lot on his mind. “What’s wrong? You got a lot to think about?” Vinyl seemed concerned. “It’s just that everything is going so fast. Last night I was going to faint if you even talked to me, and now it feels normal being here and I’m now touring with you!” Mischief thought he may have expressed a bit too much of his emotion. “That’s alright. I’m a normal pony just like you, I’m just a lot better known. I’m not some icon like Celestia or Luna; I’m just a normal unicorn.” Vinyl talked to Mischief as if she had known him for 10 years. “You aren’t just a normal unicorn. You are special because of your talents! That’s why your cutie mark is a note. You are good at what you do and you keep doing it because you are good at it. I failed at being a good Pegasus, so I went to music. I’m not as good as you.” Mischief felt like he was having a real conversation with Vinyl. It felt right. Vinyl looked at him with an emotion he didn’t really understand. “Look, Mischief. I came out here and took you on a tour because I thought you were truly something great. You haven’t seen me take any other the other 50 artists I’ve signed on a tour like this! You are awesome. That’s why I did this.” Mischief didn’t know if she really meant it, or if she was doing this out of sympathy. “And if you think that I don’t really mean it…” Mind reader! “You’re crazy.” Vinyl really meant it! Vinyl really meant all the things she just said to him. This filled Mischief with energy. “Wow! Thanks Vinyl! This really motivates me for tonight’s performance.” Vinyl felt his sudden change in mood. “Mischief, you’re crazy.” Vinyl laughed. Then as Mischief started to walk back to the table, Vinyl whispered in his ear, “And that’s why I like you.” Mischief felt more energy than he did before. “Want to go listen to some of my new stuff? I made a few new mixtapes last night for the show. They may need some polishing, but I think they are almost ready.” Vinyl nodded her head. “Sure! I’d love to hear what you’ve done. Show me what you’ve got!”
