Guns and Wubz

A Party full of words....

As Vinyl and Octavia were getting ready for the party, a limousine was waiting outside for them and sometimes honking to make sure that they are not late. When the two mares were ready they got in the limousine and the drive towards Canterlot where the party takes place, started. To pass the time Vinyl turned on the radio for some music and Octavia started reading a little book about spoons. Vinyl never had that much of an interest in books....or spoons, but she respects a person`s taste and intellect, especially Octavia`s intellect. The time passed fast and the couple arrived at the mansion where that party was going. They were not late but not early. On the outside the mansion looked very classical and almost old and scary but when the two mares walked inside the mansion was decorated in a very neon and modern style, perhaps to make Vinyl feel more at home during the party.

They walked inside and they saw a lot of ponies talking, drinking, some dressed sharp and some dressed...less sharp. Vinyl`s sponsor, Mr. Falnicov, was talking to some guests in an area more secluded. Falnicov`s family has a long history of sponsoring pretty much everything: clothes, music, furniture, projects and even wars. Falnicov most likely wants to keep up his family tradition but in a more modern way and thats why he got attached to Vinyl`s music...or at least that`s what Vinyl thinks. Vinyl and Octavia went towards Mr. Falnicov to say "hello", but it turns out he said it first"

"Oh, Vinyl and Octavia! So glad you could make it to the party. It would have been a shame to miss the party thrown out in your success."

"Of course we came Mr. Falnicov. Thanks for sponsoring me and my team these last months. You really helped us get to the top." said Vinyl trying to be as polite as possible.

"Oh, no need to thank me. I saw potential in your way of music and career Vinyl, potential that is crucial to this modern world and you are the biggest star in it! Also I would like to congratulate you for your concert yesterday. Not only did the crowd love it, but the princesses were there, and they liked it as well!You are something amazing Ms. Scratch"

"Well, she is quite a shooting star." remarked Octavia trying to impress Falnicov

Falnicov laughed while he remembered something:

"Oh yes, by the way Octavia, would you mind if Ms. Scratch and me stayed after the party to discuss contracts, paper work, future plans, etc. It is quite boring and most be done between the artist and sponsor alone but It must be done."

"Of course. Vinyl, just call me when you are done so I can come pick you up"

"Ok Tavi. I`ll call you when I`m done"

After Octavia left and the party ended, Vinyl and Falnicov had to discuss the future plans in the music career that Vinyl was already very big in. They both made their way into one of the rooms in the mansion. It was a very big room with a giant table in the middle with tons and tons of paperwork...and Vinyl already did not like it. They both sit down at the opposite sides of the table.

"Ms. Scratch would you like anything to drink while we work here?"

"No, no. I`m fine without a drink, thank you anyways" politely declined Vinyl

"I have to say Vinyl Scratch, you are an amazing pony. Amazing artist, loved by kids, adults, stallions and mares and your personality is just marvelous. You know both how to be energetic and polite when it`s needed. I am quite curious if you have other.....amazing hidden powers"

"No. At least none that I know of!" says Vinyl in a funny tone

"Tell me about your past Ms. Scratch"

"Well there is not a lot of stuff really to tell.... I was raised in a normal family, did highschool, and entered in an artist based university where I met Octavia and...thats it"

"Are you sure? Cause you need to understand Vinyl that I need to research about the people I sponsor and...here is the funny thing....all the art universities in equastria say that they never had you at their program."

"Um...maybe they just don`t remember..?"

"I also found that no one knows you or remembers you before you became an artist......so, what are you hiding from me Ms. Scratch?"

Vinyl starts to get really worried as she knows that something is up here but she still does not react in case its just a joke..but its not. Falnicov gets up from his seat and pulls out a gun at Vinyl and shoots. Vinyl tilts her head so the bullet misses her just barely while she enters in shock.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" says Vinyl while looking in shock at Falnicov.

"Come on Vinyl, don`t fuck with me. I know about your past. Every single crime you have done: robbery, heist, murder and terror attack I have it all here...and I have to say, you are an impressive criminal. Someone like you could make a lot of money in the modern world."

Vinyl gets up and looks with anger at Falnicov while he is slightly smiling.

"What If I don`t fucking want to? Besides, what would you get from me returning to heisting again?"

"You see Vinyl, the modern equastria is quite foolish. Too busy caring about love and their friendship powers to look at real dangers inside its own system. A system that can be exploited with enough work. I am working on making a team of the best robbers, heisters and murderers out there to make the greatest hits in equastria that you could think of. Banks, Casinos, Castles....and so so much more. And you are a perfect candidate."

"I have a lot of people I care about now. I would like it to get back in the action but I can`t afford to lose people I love" Vinyl responds to his offer.

"Well.....You see I have something that you care about a lot...and I think you want it back."

Falnicov puts on the table a weapon....Vinyl`s AM-47. Almost as new and perfect as when she lost it. Vinyl looks at the weapon on the table, in all her glory as she looks at it with a burning passion.

"Come on. Pick it up" says Falnicov

Vinyl grabs the weapon as she looks at it and admires it almost hugging it and you can see on her face that she loves the weapon. She takes the weapon and shoots with it at the wall behind Falnicov until its all just holes with bullets.

"OH YEAH!I missed this shit so so so much!" says Vinyl while hugging the weapon.

A moment of silence goes trough the giant room as Vinyl and Falnicov glare at one another for what feels like hours...but actually seconds.

"So.....what do you say?" asks Falnicov

Vinyl looks at him as memories, dreams and her past flashes in her eyes as she thinks about the danger she could bring to her friends and most importantly Octavia. She lets out a breath of death as the silence fades.

"Well......it`s Payday" says Vinyl approving of Falnicov`s offer.

"I knew you would make the right choice Ms. Scratch....now let`s discuss the paperwork, shall we?"

"Sure." says Vinyl as they start talking and planning about heists.

And this is where the present of Vinyl`s story starts and ends. Back at the job, gun in hand, and love in mind. Now all they need is a bank to rob.......
