Chapter 4: How it Used to Be...

Chapter 4: How it Used to Be...

I spent the next few hours looking around the house coming to the conclusion that there was, indeed, nothing else to find. No trace of what had happened aside from the fight outside, and no hints as to where they may have gone. Either way coming here gave me a chance to go get my equipment from my DJ room and start moving it outside. Vinyl must have had the same idea because when I emerged from the house dragging along my DJ board (With the help of the two Pegasai) I saw her standing there with the large carriage I had arrived in.

"Forget something? How did you expect to bring that thing all across Ponyville?" She asked with a small snicker as she slid her shades on which, to no surprise, she had not been wearing all day.

"I'll never understand how ponies can't tell it's you without those glasses on... but when they see me WOW they go wild!" I said with fake enthusiasm.

Shaking her head a bit, whipping her main around she chuckled and answered. "I don't know how you've survived this long. I can't wait for this show..." She said as she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Whats that mean... what do you mean?!" I say as she shrugs and turns around, lifting the board into the carriage.

"Oh... nothing. Just... you've become the talk of the town ever since you became a DJ. More so to others than the rest..." She said slowly turning to me. "The MARES specifically..."

I felt the blood drain from my face as she said this. "...what..."

"OH?! You didn't know?! Well... APPARENTLY a MALE DJ showing up hasn't happened for... oh well a long time..." She said as she glanced towards me. "A VERY long time... has nopony told you this?"

My eyes widened as it all made sense. The cheering, the constant attachment. I was apparently the first male music artist in the town for a long time. AND I was the first human... so I was a different everything. And from what I've figured out since being here... the town began to LOVE different.

'God damnit...'

The rest of the time I spent inside the empty club was spent extremely nervously as I looked around, always aware of any ponies walking near me.

"Sheesh... I was just messin' with ya. I wasn't THAT serious it's all cool. You got nothin' to worry about." Said Vinyl from next to me as she began plugging in some cords to the table.

I let out a small breath. "Yeah... just things haven't been easy lately and everything is putting me on edge. I'll be fine." I said as I plugged in a pair of headphones and put them on, testing their connection as I pressed a random button.

I let out a small sigh that Vinyl caught and slowly pulled off her glasses.

"What's on your mind?" She said as she stared back at me.

Shaking my head I met her eyes. "You know I got engaged to Fluttershy... right?" I asked as she nodded. "Well... I wanted to get the... you know... wedding going. But so much has been happening lately. We have no time to relax and get to planning. I feel like we'll never-"

Cutting me off she covered my mouth with her hoof. "Ew details man details." She said causing me to blush.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS GONNA-" Waving me off she continued.

"Yeah I know I'm just messin' with ya. Anyway... I'm sure everything will turn out fine soon enough. As soon as this whole thing between the Princesses die down you'll get your chance. I'll even get my friend Tavi to play at your wedding." She said smiling.

Looking back I pulled her into a quick hug. "Thanks Vinyl. Anyway... let's get to work. I've got a song I need your vocals for. And before I forget... it is Saturday today right?" I asked getting her to nod. "Perfect..."

I sat back and watched as, what looked like the whole town, began pouring into the club. I EVEN spotted the mayor.

"Yo what... is that the mayor?!" I said aloud as I pointed down at the mayor.

We were currently in our glass room on the second floor, looking down at the dance floor. Vinyl looked down where I was pointing and her eyes visibly widened under the glasses.

"No waaaay... HAHA! We got EVERYPONY coming!" She cheered as she hopped up on two hooves and punched into the air.

I slowly nodded as I shook my head and turned to Vinyl. "Alright we have a few more minutes until startup, can you run the final tests? I'm gonna go down there and meet up with everypony." I said as she saluted.

I walked over to the door leading to the staircase and made my way down, when I reached the bottom I knocked on the lower door, getting a large looking bouncer pony to open it for me. I nodded my thanks as I walked by and inspected the dance floor. I noticed the mayor and began to make my way to her when a group of ponies stopped in front of me and looked me up and down while smiling.

"Uh... hi girls." I said with a small nervous wave.

A few of them fainted. F-A-I-N-T-E-D.

'What the... WHAT?!'

I looked at the other few as they gave a small *Squeal* And did tiny jumps in place.

'If I was single... I'd probably be loving this attention right now' I thought as I made my way to the group.

"It was nice meeting you girls but I have to talk to somepony." I said as I gently pushed two of them to the side and made my way towards the mayor.

"Oh my gosh... HE TOUCHED ME." One of them squealed out as the other yelled back.

"ME TOO!"

Shaking my head in disbeleif I just continued walking.

'I forgot how crazy this town is sometimes...' I thought as I approached the mayor and tapped her on the shoulder.

She turned quickly and nodded at me before turning back.

"Uh..." I voiced as I waited for it to click.

A few seconds later the mayors eyes went wide and she spun around, with a slight blush on her face.

"O-Oh... I'm sorry! I thought you were... somepony else..." She said looking anywhere but me.

"It's alright... but I'll be honest I never expected YOU of all ponies to come here." I said raising an eyebrow.

"Hey! I didn't come here for the music! I came here to see you. You left the town in quite a panic you know!" She said as she gave that 'You did a bad' shake of the hoof you get when you were young.

"Yeah... sorry about that it was kind of unexpected. I-" I began before getting tapped on my side.

I turned to look at the pony in question as it was the bouncer as he motioned up to the glass room. I looked up and saw Vinyl tapping a non-existent watch on her wrist. I nodded back and gave a small wave before turning to the mayor.

"I'd love to stay and chat but show's starting and I gotta be up there! I'll c'ya around!" I said as I waved as I ran.

As I reached the top of the stairs and made my way to the board, Vinyl threw me my headphones and some shades, custom made to my face with deep purple lenses. I nodded with a smile to her as I slid them on and brought myself to the mic.

"HELLO PONYVILLE! I SEE WE HAVE A VERY LARGE CROWD TODAY!" I yell into the mic eliciting cheers from the whole place. "Ready to make this Saturday one to REMEMBER?!" I continue, gaining more yells of excitement. "ALRIGHT! LET'S GO THEN!" I yell out as I begin the first track.

(Listen to the track if you want but I'm not going through the vocals)

The fifth song tonight boomed through the club as I bobbed my head to the beats, as the song finished I looked over the crowd and watched their cheers. The place hasn't gotten any less packed. But I noticed something I hadn't seen before. A pony with a hood on was at the back... staring at me. I couldn't see her face but... I could feel her eyes on me. I felt like... I needed to talk to her. I watched as she slowly made her way out of the room as I turned to Vinyl.

"Hey Vinyl I gotta leave early, think you can take care of this stuff for me?" I ask as I set the next track on.

Nodding she smiled and saluted again. "No prob."

I ran out of the room and eagerly down the stairs. As I did so, the bouncer opened the door and helped me through the crowd of touchy feely ponies. I made it to the exit and took in a deep breath and walked out. As I did I turned to the left and looked for the pony as a sudden chill went up my spine.

'Behind...'
