Octavia sat in her living room, sipping wine and enjoying some Beethooven in the candlelight. It had been so long since she'd relaxed like this, but she couldn't figure out why that was.
Suddenly, Vinyl crashed through the window, a strange two-wheeled device following her. Well, until said metal machine got stuck in the window. She got up, removing her helmet and gently rubbing her head, wincing slightly. "...note to self...ponies aren't meant to drive motorcycles..."
She looked around herself, noticing that she had landed right in the middle of Octavia's relaxation session. She rubbed the back of her head, embarrassed. "...um...I-I'll go..." She rushed out of the room...and into two waiting youngsters.
The purple dragon tapped a claw on the floor, unable to properly give a stern look to the two ponies that landed on top of him. "...you know, I've heard of running into ponies, but this is ridiculous." He squeezed out from underneath them, dusting himself off before turning to the larger white unicorn. "Miss Scratch, are the results ready?"
Vinyl coughed softly, getting off of Silver Spoon before consulting her phone. "...let's see..." She began counting the votes, pausing on a strange comment. "...no...just, just no...why did you put that, 'AlphaThroughZeta'!?" She groaned, continuing to count the votes. She stopped once, reading the name 'Slendermane', glancing around with fear. "...no...he's just an old pony's tale...there's no way he's real..." She only halted the counting once more, blushing slightly. "...um...thanks for the vote?"
Eventually, she got to the last one, sighing softly. "The winner, with ninety to thirty-nine, is..." She pointed with a hoof, smirking slightly. "You." E, no author comments right now! You Pinkie Promised!
And so, there were no accidental mid-chapter author comments.
Spike stared at the hoof, inches from his face and pointing right between his eyes. "...I won?" He grinned widely, pumping his fist in the air. "I won!" He turned to Silver Spoon, a serious look on his face. "You remember our agreement, Spoon. Meet me in the basement so we can discuss your...predicament." After a nod from the filly, he turned and went down the stairs.
Vinyl, confused, shrugged and went upstairs, late for a date with 'War of the Worlds'.
Spike sat in the basement of the shared apartment, waiting for the silver filly to enter. He glanced at the two stone pegasi, wondering just why they were there. Looking up, he stared at the newly-replaced glass bulbs. He didn't understand how they worked, but Vinyl made them and said that they worked better than candles. Honestly, he had to agree, though he still didn't understand why she kept them on all the time.
"...Spike?"
He turned around, surprised not to see the earth pony he was expecting, but rather, his white unicorn friend. He grinned at her before motioning to a nearby stack of hay. "Please, Sweetie, join me." He chuckled at the pinkish tint that colored her cheeks, watching her seat herself right next to him. "I have to thank you. Having that rap battle was the only way I'd get Silver Spoon to listen to me!"
Sweetie's blush disappeared, a look of bafflement slowly replacing the sheepish smile on her face. "...what did I do?"
He blinked, staring right at her. "That morning, you gave me the reason to rap against her...didn't you?"
The unicorn shook her head, thinking back to that day. "...no...I was crusading with Applebloom and Scootaloo...that is, until we got news of the rap battle..."
Spike and Sweetie sat in silence with their eyes closed, pondering this strange fact. Suddenly, Sweetie's eyes shot open, her mouth forming an 'o' of surprise. "...now it all makes sense..." She got up and raced up the stairs and out of the building, leaving behind a confused dragon.
I apologize for the odd thing where my story was bumped to the featured box early. ^^; I hit the publish button on accident too early...so yeah, I'll be honest, I'm scrambling to type this out right now. >.<;; I don't want this deleted, especially after all the effort that went into it...
Anyways! Next chapter will be a Q&A one for the rappers so far. (No hate comments, please - those will just be deleted.) Just so you know. And also, the reasons why they (the school-age fillies and colts) had rap battles will be made clear right before the 13th rap battle.
Oh, and comment number three thousand gets to decide who Lyra raps against (can't be Derpy or Ditzy. sorry).
Have a nice day!
Enigma out.~
FIRST!
Edit: Sometimes these chapters seem to lack a continuity, and they leave me confused. Other than that, Silver Spoon had better rhymes.
Boo. Spoon totally won that one. Spike had to defend more often!
to reiterate, the next chapter will be Q&A for the rappers so far! please feel free to send a question in...unless you are alright with waiting longer for the next rap battle.
...i apologize for the emoticon above... it's just that i'm doing the Q&A to give myself a little more time with the next (two) rap battle(s).
EDIT: ...how did two others get comments in before me?
Wait, what happened with Silver? I'm so confused!
...wait what?
Edit: Mornings make everything harder to understand for me
When you started to do rap battles, was it partly because it looked fun the way the adult ponies did it? (question directed towards the colts and fillies for the Q&A
So Applebloom and Featherweight How was the first date?
Also, love the story so far! Keep up the fine work!

...you realize you only need the numbers in the url, right?
If it's not too personal, Octavia, how did you come to stay with Twilight?
And if it is too personal, Rarity, how was the beach party?
Stone pegasi..... oh lord, spike don't blink, don't turn away and for the love of Celestia run.
I call bias votes but whatev. Spike will get the slow clap from me for winning.
1155795 ITS THE WEEPING PEGASI! WE'RE ALL DEAD!
*tapes eyelids open*
MUST. NOT. BLINK!
Question: Where the hell did you get a cell phone and a motorcycle Vinyl Scratch?...............
Don't blink, don't blink, can't. keep. eyes. open. much. longer. eyedrops. not working.
NOOO!
1155915 Maybe she got them from the Smart Brain company of Kamen Rider Faiz? After all, Faiz's transformation device is a phone and he's had 2 different bikes, all of which were made by Smart Brain.
1156066 Who? What?
1156088 This.
1156024 Hey weeping pegasi! This guy is blinking! Take him, not us!
-presses 555- Standing By -puts the phone in belt- HENSHIN! -ERROR- FU- -is electrocuted- not an orphenoch i guess. oh well. -grabs fourze driver-
Make Zecora rap. Just do it.
A little dose of vinyl scratch in the morning is a great way to start the day!
1156165 Oh s***
No no no n... {end transmission}
1153652
It was great every time I heard him say it
1156318
I shall mourne your death even as it allows me to escape.
*turns to run only to find weeping pegasus*
shit...............
How do you guys like my weeping pegasus
Now my question, why are there so many shippings?1156353
1156518 YOUR weeping pegasus?!
If it is ok with you, I would like to ask fluttershy how to get this full grown dragon off my front lawn.
1156543 yes......all mine
Now, do you want to live
It was all a setup! You needed Silver to explain herself!
1155905
Darnit, I just watched the episode "Blink" yesterday.
Hm... a question eh? Well, this one's for... Diamond Tiara. What did you mean by
? Did you really tryout? And for what?
Lyra vs. her Evil Clone, Alto Soulflats.
...Okay, okay, fine. Make it Lyra vs. Thunderlane.
I enjoy the extremely confusing story that goes on beyond the rap battles.
1155337
Sometimes the best offense is a good defense.
Well, what a turn of events.
Even I voted Spoonie and I knew Spike was going to win.
And I demand Lyra vs. Dr. Whooves.
1155343 Magic. Just leave it at that.
Hurts to think otherwise.

Seriously, what happened to Silver spoon?
I'm thinking the same thing too!1158095
1155306 Firsting is bannable GET OUT
DERPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best pony EVER....also, I lost on a MLP battle? NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I never lose....damn, whatever.....anyway I'm confused on how Vinyl is able to use a cell phone and motorcycle with her hooves, also Spike/Sweetie Belle? ALWAYS A FAN AND READY TO READ (second favorite pairing in my eyes)
1155530 It says Pewdiepie... I don't think I wanna watch that, he is really loud and annoying.
hey enigmaMystere your battles rock! I DashieFan1 loves them! That is if RD loves them cause you know I am her biggest fan right E?
DASHIEFAN1 IS OUT,PEACE YA'LL!
Man, what is up with Silver Spoon? And Sweetie? I NEED TO KNOW!
Great rap, btw!
1155343 what happened with Sweetie Belle??????
Honestly... this gets dull when everyone knows who is going to win. Unexpected events lead to greater results.
Hmmm only 66 comments till someone gets to chose who Lyra gets to battle I rate 66 discords
t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTRKvgCuuFTQoW6uRMJ10AAdykVdL7jxcED_69Xi4hvSB_ixs7O
Im trolling I wouldn't really do that that would be crazy.
1167243
i'm sorry, but i'm afraid i can't let you do that. it has to be won fairly. if you don't mind, that is...you could ask one of the ponies that have rapped a question, though. or discord, even. we need more questions...
1167247
...
whelp, i'm a fool. i can't tell when i'm being trolled, and i just try to negotiate.
...charming...
"It's not that bad, Mr. E. You're like Fluttershy! Who doesn't like her?"
...i'm...glad (?)...you feel that way, sweetie...
1167251Discord how is it in your new home and did you get a warm welcome?
