Dare
(Gorillaz)
With a curt smile, DJ P0N-3 looked Octavia straight in the eye, and removed her glasses. Without the violet lenses to hide it, her gaze betrayed her as a pony who was quietly, ruthlessly formidable. Behind those red eyes lay an unflinching soul.
Octavia held the gaze. If there was one thing she was not afraid of, it was an audience.
"You're a good musician," P0N-3 said quietly, and replaced her glasses. "I enjoyed your concert."
"You look better without the glasses," Octavia replied, walking away. She didn't like her tone.
P0N-3 watched her go, and smiled. Worth looking into.
Author's Note: I am told that, canonically, Vinyl's eyes are magenta. For the purposes of this story, pretend they're not.
Just want to say that before I go any further Hasbro made it canon that she has magenta eyes XD sorry bout that...

Hasbro also made it canon that she is light yellow. No one has cared about that in the >year that we've known about it, so it probably isn't a big deal what someone wants to call them. The excuse used for her being white was that the lighting was off, and this has also been used to argue that she has red eyes (in the episode she is clearly in the shadows)
also, for reference, the artist who worked on it says that they are about the shade of Rainbow Dash's eyes, which, while they may technically be magenta, are damn well close enough to red for fanon that claims it to be well in line with canon
Well, finally time to get reading this!
And I personally say screw canon, if you want to write a story with a Vinyl that has red eyes then do that. I see canon as all fine and dandy, but when it limits what you want to do then it's time to just hop on right over it and write what you want to write. I mean, for bigger segments of the story, yes it's good to stick to canon, but details like this shouldn't matter.
Anyway,I don't really think people stop reading stories if their not exactly canon, do they? If they do, it's stupid
I listened to Dare while reading this!!
This story has been in my fav list for like forever, but I only just read the description.
Song titles, huh? First chapter... "Dare"...
