Vinyl found herself on the lawn in front of Sugar Cube Corner. Getting up with a groan, she glanced around, wondering what happened last night.
The first thing she noticed was the flamingos in a pool across the street. She stared blearily at them before deciding that she was imagining them. Surely nopony would actually bring five bright pink flamingoes into town and let them roam free...right?
Besides, last night wasn't Friday.
She stumbled into the store, hoping somepony could explain just what went down. Sadly, it looked like no one was there, save for two ponies. She trot over to them, grabbing a glass of water on the way to help with her mild headache. "Hey, dudes. What's up?"
The ponies stopped their conversation, turning to look at Vinyl. The grey pegasus rushed up, tears in her eyes. "Please, you have to help!"
She blinked, surprised and a little concerned. "What's wrong, Derpy?"
She frowned slightly, muttering to herself. "My name's Ditzy..." She shook her head, looking at the white unicorn with her one good eye. "I want a rap battle! This pony" she motioned to the green unicorn behind her, "stole the last muffin!"
She glared at Ditzy. "I bought it! And I'm not 'this pony'. My name is Lyra!"
"Liar!" The pegasus leaped at Lyra, but was caught in a blue glow.
Vinyl rubbed the side of her head, her headache getting worse from the strain of holding Ditzy back. "Let's just...get this over with, okay?" Ponies wanting a rap battle for the silliest of reasons...what the hay is going on here?
Soon enough, everypony was gathered at the town square once more. Ditzy was sitting on the stage, attempting to put her headset on. Eventually, a brown earth pony came and helped her. Across the stage, Lyra was ready, though she seemed bored.
Vinyl rolled her eyes, beginning the music as soon as the pegasus finally was ready. Slipping into character, she began to smile widely.
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF MLP!
...ER...
VS.
BEGIN!
I just don't know what went wrong!
The few things less appealing than your face are your songs!
You're a freak, you geek. Don't be so plucky.
Why, just last week, Bon-Bon left you for Lucky!
Believe it or not, everypony wants my muffin.
No one wants you. You've got nothin'!
Swag is something of which I have a surplus.
I'll strike you down with lightning - this time on purpose!
Look out, folks - it's Derpy! That pony's too clumsy.
How you didn't get locked up before is beyond me.
You got a dull gray coat and a dumb blond mane.
It's no wonder you got cut - you're bucking lame!
The bubbles on your flank don't show your skills.
They say you got a brain that might just kill!
No matter what you do, you ruin everypony's plans.
Look out, Derpy! I'll beat you with my TK hands!
Hands? Are you talking 'bout those dumb myths, again?
You're crazier than Screwloose, believing in humans!
I can beat you anywhere, from the ground up.
Let's face it, Lyra - it's your Last Roundup!
I suppose the voice of my lyre will do.
I don't need to waste my breath on a loser like you!
I'm not insane. Humans are true, by Luna's word!
More so than some time machine and its Lord!
WHO WON? WHO'S NEXT? YOU DECIDE!
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF MLP!
I know it seems odd for these two to be fighting, but it all will be explained later on. ^^ Trust me.
Also, I apologize for the relatively short chapter. And if the title cards are causing anypony trouble, please, let me know!
Have a nice day!
Enigma out.~
Derpy won. I didn't like the first two lines of her second verse, though.
I don't get why people call her Ditsy..... Derpy is canon.
Yay! First time I can say FIRST!
Also, Lyra wins. Not just because she is best pony. Just because she wins.
Edit: AHAHKGHAKJHFJADSHLFHADSHFLALSIUADK!
Curse you EquestrianAnarchist! You beat me! Hear my cries of anger! They sound similer to my cries of sadness! KAGKJAJADKASFJKASKJFADSKJGHKJA!

sorry. you were off by one. nice try, though!
Someone needs to make videos, or at least audio of these raps. If I sounded like a pony I would.
750729
who exactly are you voting for? ditzy?
Derpy won this one
Lyra wins!
Lyra
750749 I'm voting for Derpy.
Derpy Awesome fic btw
I vote for Ditzy.
Derpy. Totally.
Lyra won that one. She get's extra points for mentioning The Doctor, too.
750784 But you're wrong......Derpy Whooves is fanon. Her real name is Ditzy Doo is canon. At least that's what the wiki said when I looked at it. And I think the toys say Ditzy Doo.
Derpy Hooves gets my vote. But I don't quite understand her name. Her hooves aren't particularly derpy.
Also, I love the titlecards. They make the whole rap 20% cooler
I vote for Lyra...
...
Never need a reason, never need rhyme. Never need a reason, step in time.
I have no idea why I said that.
Too close to call.
I stay neutral. That's a lie. Ditzy won
Kinda sucks because I like both of the but Derpy/ Ditzy totally won this one.
Derpy/Ditzy. And RD called her Derpy in last roundup.
I say Derpy wins and the wiki is wrong if it says ditzy because derpy was actually said in the show and did anyone hear 'Ditzy' anywhere? i think not
Lyra hands down.
My vote goes to Lyra.
DERPY WINS
I would have to say, wow, tough call.
Sorry, I am completely on the fence about this one.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Luna_apple.png
No idea who won, good battle though.
DERPY. HANDS DOWN.
Such a hard decision... I like Derpy and Lyra both..... I like music, which links to Vinyl, but also muffins...... OH! BUBBLE WRAP! DERPY! DERPY! YAY
I really want to pick Derpy, but Lyra mentioned the Doctor soo...
LYRA HEARTSTRINGS
Lyra

[rant]She was called Ditzy Doo in Winter Wrap Up, and Derpy Hooves in Last Roundup (when it origanaly aired). Hasbro got flamed by some idiot who thought 'derpy' meant retarded, so it says neithier in Last Roundup now. The name Derpy Hooves is of fandow origins, but Hasbro does accept it.[/rant]
Also, I vote for Ditzy/Derpy.
It's a toss up for me, but I'll lean towards Derpy on this one.
Lyra.
Derpy
750984
Overpowered? They die REALLY fast.
Ditzy/ Derpy for the win! Lyra was just kind of hurtful.
Derpy/ Ditzy for the win.
Derpy!!!
Lyra was pathetic! Go Der- I mean Ditzy!
Just for the references to Doctor Whooves and Anthropology, I give my vote to the harp-flanked pony.
Lyra wins hands down!
Ditzy Doo/Derpy won! Sorry Lyra, but not today. NOT TODAY.
rough but I'll have to go with Derpy
she won by just a little bit
I never thought I'd say this but Lyra wins
dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png Lyra. Deal with it.
This is a hard one, hmmm I'm going with ditzy on this one
scranton.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/thumb/mlfw3816.gif scranton.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/thumb/mlfw4156.webp I think lyra won.
Yeah Lyra won that I say, even if her green text was a little bit hard to read.
Oh and Liking the new title cards. Did you make them yourself or are they commissioned?
Le Ditzy for the win!
Derpy won.
Also, how have you not done Chrysalis vs. Discord yet? That's like... Rivalry 101.
750960 I call her either, depending on the situation. But I prefer ditzy as it was her first name (I believe she was called derpy first)
