Over at the Ponyville Radio Station, Vinyl Scratch was DJing her radio show. She was just finishing up a story she was announcing on the radio.

"...and then I said if you want the mustard, then you'd have to ketchup!" she said and laughed. "Anyways everypony, this is DJ Pon3, A-K-A Vinyl Scratch coming to you live from Scratch FM! We're free to take some calls! We have... Cloud Dasher from Cloudsdale. You're on live Cloud Dasher."

"Thanks Vinyl!" said Cloud Dasher from the intercom.

"Do you have a question for us dude?" asked Vinyl.

"Yes, I have a question." said Cloud Dasher.

"Speak up." said Vinyl.

"What color are your eyes?" asked Cloud Dasher.

"One DJ does not reveal all her secrets." said Vinyl.

"Okay, but that doesn't answer my question." said Cloud Dasher.

"You had your chance to see them at the Royal wedding. Thanks for calling, colt." said Vinyl. "Next we have Ditzy Do from Ponyvile. What's up Ditzy?"

"Hi Vinyl! I have a question for you." said Derpy on the intercom.

"Go on ahead, I'm all ears." said Vinyl.

"I have corn that's full of ears too!" said Derpy.

"That's... nice." said Vinyl sounding confused. Then she clears her throat. "What's your question dudet?"

"I just put my food in the microwave, but it's not heating up." said Derpy. "I thought after you put your food in the microwave, it's suppose to heat up?"

"Uhh... did you try pressing the numbers on the microwave then pressing start?" asked Vinyl.

"Oh really?" asked Derpy, then Vinyl hears beeping sounds on the intercom. "Oh thanks, Vinyl! You're a genius! That's what Dinky wanted me to do. But you know how foals are, right?"

"Uh, yeah." said Vinyl. "Thanks for calling, you have a great day! Next we have..."

"Vinyl, wake up." said a voice on the intercom.

"Excuse me?" asked Vinyl putting a pencil in her ear.

"Wake up, Vinyl." said the voice again. But after a few moments, Vinyl was asleep in her bed, and her roommate Octavia, who is a violinist was waking her up. "Wake up, Vinyl." she said. "You have community service to do today." Vinyl woke up.

"Oh hey Octavia!" said Vinyl as she yawned. "What's going on sister?"

"Vinyl dear, I hope you didn't forget the community service you have to do." said Octavia.

"Community service?" asked Vinyl confused.

"Remember when you were playing loud music at the town meeting?" asked Octavia. "Or the time you drank to much apple cider at the Twilight's book club? And let's not forget the time you ruined my last concert!" she said with an attitude.

"Hey that last concert was boring with all that fancy music and such." said Vinyl.

"Do you know why we live together?" asked Octavia.

"Because nopony can resist the dubstep jam from DJ Pon3?" asked Vinyl.

"No, because we're both broke, and we only have enough money for two ponies to help eachother out on bills." said Octavia. "Now do yourself a favor dear, and and head to the Ponyville Park to pay the debt you owe to society."

"Aw just gimmie 5 minutes, Octy!" Vinyl whinned.

"Look if you don't do this, you might pay a fine, or get arrested or something. I need you, and we're broke." said Octavia. "Now get your plot to the park!"

"Fine, Miss Bossy McBossypants." said Vinyl, getting out of bed. "Did you at least pack lunch for me?"

"Certainly." said Octavia.

"Thanks." said Vinyl. She takes her lunch and walks out the door. Vinyl Scratch walks over to the park and starts cleaning it up. She picks up trash with a pointy stick and puts them in her bag. She's been cleaning the park for a few hours. When she stops and rests on a bench, a police pony comes up to her and gets her back up on her hooves. As Vinyl reached her sixth hour, the police pony came up to her.

"Alright Vinyl, lunch break." said the police pony.

"Finally!" cried Vinyl. She walks over to a park bench and takes out her lunch. "Oh great, egg salad again. I keep telling Octavia that I don't like egg salad, dude!"

"Have you even tried it yet?" asked Flare who was right next to her having his lunch. "We can trade. I've already had grilled cheese yesterday, but it was all I had. And I'm kinda in the mood for some egg salad. Want to trade?"

"Sure." said Vinyl, giving Flare her sandwich.

"AH HA! Fooled you!" said Flare. "Now I got two sandwiches! LOLOLOLOLOL! I'm kidding, here's your grilled cheese." Flare gives Vinyl his grilled cheese.

"Thanks, dude." said Vinyl. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I'm cleaning the park like you! Smiley face." said Flare.

"Community service?" asked Vinyl.

"No, I'm voulenteering." said Flare. "This park was sure a mess. I came here with Rarity and Fluttershy during our lunch breaks. What about you?"

"Uhh... me too! I'm also voulenteering!" Vinyl lied.

"LOL yeah. What a coincidence." said Flare. "So how's the DJ business going along?"

"It's going great! All these awesome parties, and stuff! It's wicket sick dude!" said Vinyl.

"How about Octy? How's she doing?" asked Flare.

"Oh she's doing fine living in my house." said Vinyl. "After she was all alone in the streets, I couldn't refuse helping a friend out."

"Happy face." said Flare. "That is so nice of you Vinyl! But by the looks of Octy, it looked she was rich. Boy was I wrong."

"Heh, yeah." said Vinyl. "Yo Flare, have you ever had a dream?"

"I've had many dreams sister." said Flare. "One of my dreams was moving to Ponyville and make new friends. And my wish came true!"

"Anything else?" asked Vinyl.

"I've always wanted to win the lotto!" said Flare.

"Don't we all wish that?" asked Vinyl with a giggle.

"LOL yeah." said Flare. "I also want to know what's the color of your eyes?"

"A famous DJ never reveals all her secrets." said Vinyl.

"Oh c'mon, you're not that famous." said Flare. "You're a local DJ, not an international DJ. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!"

"Stop laughing at me!" cried Vinyl.

"I'm not laughing at you, I'm LOLing at you. There's a difference to that sister." said Flare.

Vinyl let out a sigh and put her hooves on her cheeks. "You're right dude. I'm just a plain ol DJ that not many ponies know."

"Don't worry, I'm sure we can think of something to make you a little more famous." said Flare. Flare was thinking of a second. "I think I might know of a way to make you a national DJ!"

"National?" asked Vinyl.

"Not as good as international, but better than local." said Flare. "What if you were a radio station DJ? Entertaining the thousands of ponies around Equestria that listen to the radio."

"Oh I've been dreaming of being a radio DJ my whole life!" cried Vinyl in happyness.

"Soooo, why didn't you do it?" asked Flare.

"Oh I dunno." said Vinyl, but after a few moments she said, "Oh yeah that's right, I can't afford a radio station."

"What? Are there even any radio stations in this part of Equestria?" asked Flare.

"YES!" cried Vinyl. "Wait... no. All the other radio stations are too far from here. I tried the radio station in Manehatten once, but it wasn't hiring. Pretty bogus, don't ya think?"

"I don't believe it." said Flare.

"That I wasn't hired?" asked Vinyl.

"No. You're really from Manehatten?" asked Flare.

"I didn't say that." said Vinyl. Flare and Vinyl just looked at eachother awkardly for a few seconds.

"So how we gonna get you on the radio?" asked Flare.

"I guess we'll just have to make a radio station." said Vinyl.

"Or buy one! There's an abandoned radio station somewhere in the Mild West desert." said Flare.

"All the way out there?" asked Vinyl.

"Oh just at the border of it connecting the desert with the greenlands of Equestria." said Flare. "I passed through it while I was on my way to Ponyville from Mareami. And since it's abandoned, it shouldn't cost too much. Now how much you got?"

Vinyl takes out some bits out of her pocket. "10... 20... 30... 40 bits." said Vinyl.

"You don't carry a purse?" asked Flare.

"Only fillies carry purses." said Vinyl.

"But you're a... nevermind. We're gonna need more than that." said Flare.

"How much do you have?" asked Vinyl.

"No more investments!" said Flare. "I'm saving for moving my shop into Canterlot. How about going through bank account or something? Or ask Octavia?"

Vinyl stayed silent for a sec, then looked down looking upset. A few hours went by, and Vinyl returned home to Octavia. Vinyl was waiting for dinner to be served.

"Hurry it up, Octy. I'm starving!" cried Vinyl.

"Okay, okay! Dinner's ready. In the name of Celestia, you are so impatient!" complained Octavia, while putting soup and salad on the table.

"What is this?" asked Vinyl.

"A garden salad with minestrone soup." said Octavia.

"Again? We always have this!" complained Vinyl. "It's so boring, colt. Why can't we have something good?"

"It's the fanciest I can afford." said Octavia.

"Oh c'mon you have like 120 bits!" complained Vinyl. "Let's go to the Ponyville Bistro!"

"The Ponyville Bistro? Dear please." said Octavia."We must save all the money we can get. Otherwise we'll just have the move into the streets. And I don't want to do that. Do you?"

"No of course not. Relax dude!" said Vinyl.

"Good. Now if you please enjoy your meal?" asked Octavia. A few minutes went by, Octavia was enjoying her meal, but Vinyl wasn't.

"Octy? We've been friends for a long, long time!" said Vinyl.

"Yeah, I assume." said Octavia.

"Like remember you gave me that half of your sandwich?" asked Vinyl. "You sure taught me the true meaning of friendship, colt!"

"Uh, yeah." said Octavia.

"And I've done alot for you too, haven't I?" asked Vinyl.

"Keeping us in good shape in giving us food and shelter, yeah I guess so." said Octavia. Vinyl runs up to Octavia putting her hoof around her.

"And since we're such good friends, and friends help eachother out. How about you give me some money so I can afford my own radio station, what do you say?" asked Vinyl with puppy dog eyes.

"Uhh... no." said Octavia.

"HA HA, good one Octy!" Vinyl laughed. "Seriously, may I have some money?"

"Hmmmmmm... No." said Octavia.

"Why not?" asked Vinyl.

"Because my dear DJ friend, we need this money to stay in shape." said Octavia.

"But if you invest, then we'll be rich!" said Vinyl.

"As much as I love to help you out, I can't." said Octavia. "I'm sorry Vinyl, but I'm in control of my own money. Thank you very much."

"But, I..." said Vinyl.

"Nope. I made my decision." said Octavia.

"But Octy!" Vinyl whinned.

"I promise when you earn enough money to buy a radio station, you can do that. I'm not in control of your funding." said Octavia. "But it's my money, and I don't want to invest on something I won't be a part of."

"You can be a part of it if you want." said Vinyl.

"Sorry, not interested." said Octavia.

"Octy?" asked Vinyl.

"This conversation is over." said Octavia. She got up from her chair, took her dishes, and walked to the kitchen. Vinyl just stood there, thinking.

Later that night, Octavia just finished brushing her teeth, and now she's off to bed. She fluffs her pillow, turns off the light, lays down, and falls asleep. Vinyl opens the door very slowly and quietly. As Vinyl tip-toes inside Octavia's room, she's spots her pocket book. So she tip-toes over to the pocket book, but Octavia rolls around her bed which startles Vinyl. She lets out a gasp, then she covers her mouth. Octavia is still sound asleep. Vinyl takes Octavia's pocket book, and then tip-toes out the door. Vinyl runs to her room giggling, and when she gets there, she goes through Octavia's purse, but couldn't find any money in there. Vinyl groweled.

"Now I have to go back in there!" said Vinyl. She walks back to Octavia's room, and tip-toes inside. She places Octavia's purse back where she found it. Vinyl looks through Octavia's dressers quietly. She looks on her night stand, under the bed, and her medicine cabinet. Just as Vinyl was about to give up, she found her money inside a box near her closet. Vinyl takes the money and sneaks back into her room. She opens the little bag to find lots of bits inside.

"Jackpot!" cried Vinyl. Morning came, and Vinyl left the house a little earlier than usual. Vinyl runs over to Flare's Shop, while Flare is just about to open the store. "Flare! I have some money!"

"Huh? Money for what?" asked Flare.

"The radio station, remember?" asked Vinyl.

"Radio station?" Flare thought. "Oh yeah that's right, LOL I remember now! I guess I have alot on my mind. Why you up this early? I thought you don't get up until later."

"That doesn't matter dude. I have enough money to buy that radio station near the Mild West desert." said Vinyl.

"Mmmmhm." said Flare glaring at Vinyl. "Do you even know how much the station costed?"

"Well... uhh... no." said Vinyl.

"Exactly!" said Flare. "We didn't get a price yet! LOL Vinyl you're so silly you silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly..."

"Alright, alright I get it." said Vinyl. "So let's go buy that station!"

"What do you need me fer?" asked Flare.

"I need you fer... I mean... oh great now you got me saying it!" said Vinyl.

"LOLOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare laughed.

"I need your help in setting up the station." said Vinyl.

"The Noble Six shall rise!" cried Flare. "Mischievious face!"

Vinyl and Flare, along with Engineer, Crystal, and Psyche went to the abandoned radio station in the desert, and bought it. They went inside the station to take a look around, but everything was dirty and broken.

"Ugh, yuck! This place could use some cleaning!" said Psyche.

"Oh Psyche, you don't need to worry too much! This place looks just fine!" said Crystal, but then a spider lands next to her. "AAAH SPIDER!" she cried, and jumped on Engineer's arms. Crystal was shaking, but then she noticed she was on Engineer, and did an embarrassing smile. Engineer dropped her on the ground.

"Why are we here again?" asked Psyche.

"You can't expect me to clean this place up myself! DOY!" said Flare. "Engineer's great with maintance, so he can get everything working again in no time. You too Psyche! Crystal can help me clean this place up."

"No way I'm getting near those spider webs." said Crystal.

"Relax, Crystal!" said Engineer, putting his hoof on her shoulder. "It's the spiders you should be afraid of, not the webs. Besides, you're bigger than the spiders."

"And you'd be doing the smaller bugs a favor." said Psyche.

"What am I gonna do?" asked Vinyl.

"You're gonna be doing the bestest, funnest, partiest, part!" said Flare, putting his arm around Vinyl. "You're gonna be making the scripts, and planning. You have to know what to you'll be talking about or what kind of music you'll play while being live on the radio!"

"But the question remains, what genre of music are you gonna be playing? Rap, dubstep, jazz, country, you name it!" Psyche explained.

"I dunno. I have not yet decided yet." said Vinyl.

"Ya'll said 'yet' twice." said Engineer.

"You ready? Let's do this!" cried Flare.

Engineer and Psyche started working on the equipment while the song Green River was playing in the background. Crystal was dusting the place up, and Vinyl was on a type writer, trying to figure out what to do. Flare went over to Vinyl to see what was going on.

"Sup sister?" asked Flare.

"Everything's goin great dude!" said Vinyl. "The genre of music that I wanna do is dubstep and house."

"Vinyl Scratch is in the house!" said Flare.

"Yep!" said Vinyl. Crystal went over to Vinyl and used the duster on her face. Vinyl spit out the dust that was in her mouth. "What was that for?"

"You had a spider on your nose." said Crystal.

"What's with you and spiders?" asked Vinyl.

"Trust me, you'll thank me for this." said Crystal.

Psyche and Engineer were trying to get some mainframe working. Psyche was making sure the controls work, and Engineer was getting it working through the power supply underneith it.

"Is it working now?" asked Engineer.

"No, not yet. Are there any unattached wires in there?" asked Psyche.

"Yeah I see one." said Engineer.

Psyche looked through the instruction manuel. "Oh I see, you must put the green wire and brown wires together." he said.

"Whatever ya say." said Engineer.

Psyche looked at the manuel again, while leaning on the controls. "Oh, wait Engie, no!" he cried. Psyche got struck by the electric in the system. He was screamming, because he was getting shocked. He let go of the controls and stopped getting electrocuted.

"Ah'm sorry, can ya repeat that Psyche?" asked Engineer.

"Nevermind." said Psyche, burnt up and coughing smoke. "I'm okay though."

Meanwhile, Crystal was peeking her head inside a room, and saw a spider just hanging there. Crystal takes out a notebook and writes the following down: "I am about to experience combat with a spider, I may not return, but I know for a fact that I will achieve this, and everypony will remember the name, Crystal Iceblast." Crystal takes the duster out and tip-hooves to the spider web. When the spider turns around, Crystal hides, but when the spider's not looking, Crystal continues tip-hooving to it. When Crystal was really close to the spider web to clean it up, the spider turns around.

"Do you mind?" said the spider in an angry tone. "Why would you want to destroy my home I worked so hard to build? So go on! SHOO!"

Crystal looked down in a sad tone. "Okay." she said, then she walked away.

Meanwhile Flare was putting the finishing touches in the DJ room. He places a mini Princess Luna bobble head on the desk. "And there we go! Perfect!" he said. "The room is all ready to go! Happy face! Better go check on Vinyl." Flare walks over to the other room and finds Vinyl on the type writer. "Hey Vinyl! Found a leet name for this station yet?"

"Oh that part I did first!" said Vinyl. "Scratch FM! Like it?"

"Less then three it!" said Flare.

Psyche was on the radio antenna getting it operational, while Engineer was getting it ready from the bottom.

"And finished!" said Engineer. "The radio station should be operational!" Engineer takes out a walk talkie. "Is the station working Crystal?"

"Sure is!" said Crystal on the other side.

"Hot dog!" said Engineer. "C'mon Psyche!" Engineer accidently knocks into the ladder, and Psyche starts to lose his balance. The ladder leans away from the antenna, and stands in it's two feet on the ground. Psyche was nervous, but was relieved that he didn't fall. While Psyche started climbing down, one of his feathers landed on the ladder and it started falling down with Psyche in it. Psyche crashed hard on the ground, with stars floating on top of his head.

"Did ya'll forget to fly?" asked Engineer, walking by. Psyche growled.

Vinyl and Flare were in front of the station. Flare was putting up the sign with his magic, and Vinyl was saying where she wanted.

"Alright a little to the right." said Vinyl. "Now, a little to the left. Up a little bit. Upper. Upper."

"There's no such word as upper." said Psyche.

"Upper, Flare. Upper." said Vinyl.

"Why do I even bother?" said Psyche annoyed.

"Downer. Downer. Righter. Lefter. Lefter. Lefter. Righter. A little more lefter. Just a teenie bit righter. Now alot righter! A little lefter, and... PERFECT! Right there!" said Vinyl.

"Well Vinyl, how does it look?" asked Flare.

"Perfection!" said Vinyl, looking at the new Scratch FM sign on the building.

After hours of work, the radio station was finally finished. Vinyl was just putting the finishing touches.

"There we go!" said Vinyl. "The station is done. Thanks Noble Six!"

"No problemo, sister! That's what we do! Mischievious face!" said Flare.

"Ready to take this station up for a spin, Vinyl?" asked Crystal.

"Oh yeah!" said Vinyl.

"Alright, first let's advertise! Then we'll get on the air. First thing tomorrow!" said Flare.

After a while, Vinyl returns home to Octavia. Vinyl is tip-hoofing to her room, and all the lights are out. The lights turn on, and Octavia was waiting on the Living Room chair.

"Out late again, Vinyl?" said Octavia.

"No, no!" Vinyl lied. "I was, um..." Vinyl uses her magic to pick flowers from outside. "Picking you some flowers, yeah!"

Octavia went up to Vinyl and knocked those flowers away.

"Hey, why did you do that for?" asked Vinyl.

"You were out partying late again, weren't you?" asked Octavia.

"Uhh... yeah. Yeah I was partying late. Sorry, Octy." said Vinyl.

"Vinyl you can't keep coming back late. I need help with chores around the house." said Octavia.

"Well I'll have you know, that I have important stuff to do. That's why I come back late." said Vinyl.

"Partying is not as important as keeping this house clean." said Octavia.

"Aw c'mon! This place is fine!" said Octavia.

"Oh really?" said Octavia. "The bathrooms are dirty, there are clothes everywhere, the lawn needs to be mowed, we need to clean the attic, we need to get some food for the fridge, and..."

Vinyl gave Octavia a confused look, and all Vinyl heard from her was, "Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla."

"Do you understand?" asked Octavia.

"Sure, Octy. Sure. Whatever you say." said Vinyl.

"Good. Now please get some sleep. I need help with chores in the morning." said Octavia.

So Vinyl went off to bed for the night. Soon it was 5:00 in the morning. Vinyl got up bright and early, and snuck out of the house while Octavia was still sleeping. Vinyl went over to her new radio station. Flare and Spike were there waiting for her.

"There you are Vinyl! We were waiting for you!" said Flare.

"You guys waited for me?" asked Vinyl.

"I was thinking you might've needed some help with your first day." said Flare.

"In return for some gems." said Spike. Flare punched Spike's shoulder. "Ow! Violent much?"

"So you ready?" asked Flare.

"I was born ready!" cried Vinyl.

"Happy face!" cried Flare.

So the three of them walked inside the station and got into their posts. Vinyl sat at her desk, and put on a head set. Spike and Flare went into the control room to get everything online.

"You ready Vinyl?" asked Flare.

"Did I not say I was born ready?" said Vinyl.

"LOL yeah!" said Flare.

"Coming live in 5... 4... 3... 2..." said Spike, counting down, then the 'AIR' sign lit, and Flare turned on a music track in the background.

"Goooooood morning Equestria!" said Vinyl. "Welcome to Scratch FM, coming to you live from the abandoned radio station near the border to the Equestrian desert! I am your host Vinyl Scratch, but you can call me DJ Pon3! And colt do we have alot of cool music for you to listen to dude! Not to mention lots of stories!"

A few hours went by, and Vinyl was just finishing up a song. "And that was Friendly Advise by the Elements of Music!" said Vinyl ending the song. "You know? Being a radio DJ has been great so far! If it weren't for the Noble Six, I wouldn't be here!"

"Aww yeah Spike! Did you hear that?" asked Flare from the control room.

"Looks like your clan is gonna be famous, dude!" said Spike.

"That's right the Noble Six, the newest clan in the kingdom!" said Vinyl. "Next to the Mane Six. They are a backup friendship group. While the Mane Six does the 'Elements of... something' work, and the Noble Six backs them up! Well, they haven't done anything yet. But they will! Also this broadcast, brought to you by Porker's BBQ!"

"No! She was suppose to say Flare's Pizza Parlor!" complained Flare. Flare knocks on the window and puts up a sign that says 'Flare's Pizza Parlor'.

"Huh? Oh and that's right, and Flare's Pizza Parlor, located in Ponyville, near the park." said Vinyl. "Alright, time to take some callers! We have Braeburn from Appleloosa! Braeburn, you're on the air!"

"Ah am? Yee haw!" cried Braeburn. "Ah never been heard on the radio befer!"

"Alright, settle down!" said Vinyl. "So what's up?"

"Ah have a warehouse overfilled with apples right about now. So come down to mah orchard over at Appleloosa." said Braeburn. "We have a sales on apple pies, apple fritters, apple crisp..."

"Alright, thanks for callin!" said Vinyl. "We now have Water Gun from the Crystal Mountains. Hello Water!"

"Hi!" said Water.

"Is that Water?" asked Flare. He ran out of the control room and put on the headset. "Gimmie that! Hey sis!"

"Hey bro! You work at Scratch FM?" asked Water.

"Hay yeah!" said Flare.

"Cool!" said Water.

"How's that world trip going on?" asked Flare.

"It's going good! How is life in Ponyville?" asked Water.

"There's no place like home, sis." said Flare. "But I less then three it here! Smiley face!"

"That's good! I plan on coming down to see you when I'm done with my world trip!" said Water.

"Excellent! I'll talk to you later!" said Flare.

"Bye!" said Water, and she hung up.

"Here ya go!" said Flare, giving the headset back to Vinyl.

"Uh huh." said Vinyl sounding confused. "Well our next song goes out to an actor that really inspired me. Robin Williams. The robin comedian that is currently making his next movie out in Applewood right now."

Meanwhile in Ponyville. Octavia was taking a stroll around town. Then she started talking to herself. "Ah, what a beautiful day!" she said. "Seems pretty weird around here without Vinyl around though. She's been away too much. Oh well, better head to pratice." Octavia walks passed a poster with Vinyl Scratch on it. "Huh? Is that Vinyl? That... that is! Scratch FM? Since when did she own a radio station?" Octavia made a surprised look. "Oh no!" Octavia runs back into her house and looks for her wallet. "My wallet! It's gone!" cried Octavia. "You're so dead, Vinyl!"

Back at the radio station, Vinyl just finished another song. "And that was Fork Colt by Soundorchard." said Vinyl. "Time to continue taking phone calls. We have Ditzy Do from Ponyville. What's up Derpy?"

"Hey Vinyl! I just put food in my microwave, but it's not heating up." said Derpy. Meanwhile in the control room, Flare and Spike started talking.

"Hey Flare, don't you find this a little weird?" asked Spike.

"It's a radio station, of course it's weird!" said Flare.

"No, I mean there is something a little off here. How did Vinyl get the money for this station in the first place?" asked Spike.

"She said Octavia gave it to her." said Flare.

"She did?" asked Spike.

"Yeah." said Flare.

"I dunno guys, that doesn't sound like Octavia." said Psyche.

"Of course we don't sound like Octavia, dum dum!" said Flare.

"That's not what I said." said Psyche. "You think Octavia would just give Vinyl the money to buy a radio station? They're broke!"

"Oh, and you sound like you hang with Octavia and Vinyl. Don't worry Psyche, what's done is done. I believe Vinyl. I don't think she'd steal from Octavia." said Flare.

"Hey Flare can you get me a coffee?" asked Psyche.

Flare stares at Psyche in silence, but eventually said, "You do it."

"I can't. I have to make sure the signal stays strong." said Psyche.

"You can come back to that." said Flare.

Psyche made a face. "Fine, I'll do it." he said. Then he started to get up and walk out.

"NO I'LL DO IT!" cried Flare, running passed Psyche, also knocking into him. Psyche spins around as Flare runs by, then rocked around with his eyes rolling around, then collapsed on the floor.

Back at Vinyl's room, Vinyl was just finishing talking to Derpy. "I hope your problem gets solved soon, sister! Thanks for calling!" said Vinyl. "Alright next caller... uhh..." Vinyl froze as she saw Octavia's name on the caller ID. "Octavia from Ponyville."

"VINYL HOW COULD YOU?!" Octavia cried on the other line.

"I do not know what you're talking about." said Vinyl.

"Don't play innocent with me! You stole my money!" Octavia yelled. "You used my money to buy that abandoned radio station, and now we're gonna go broke because of you!"

"Look, I'm doing us both a favor!" said Vinyl. "This radio station is gonna make us rich! You just wait and see!"

"Vinyl... there is a reason why we live together. You know why? Because we both needed the money, and I trusted you!" said Octavia. "But now that trust is long gone."

"Octy, don't get so ahead of yourself. I'll pay you back, I promise!" said Vinyl.

"No, Vinyl. No." said Octavia. "I can't accept your money. I can't accept living with you anymore. And you know what? I had a real good deal on the Royal Canterlot orchestra. I was eventually gonna give you the money for the radio station. But now it seems that you care more about DJing more than your own friends."

"No, Octy! That's not true!" cried Vinyl.

"Goodbye Vinyl." said Octavia.

"No, wait!" cried Vinyl, but Octavia already hung up. "Uhh... we'll be right back after this commercial break."

Flare was standing near the door with a shocking look on his face. "Vinyl... you... lied to me." Flare said in a sad tone.

"Look Flare, I'm sorry! I didn't know she was gonna know!" cried Vinyl.

"Octy didn't let you have the money, you stole it!" said Flare. "I can't believe this! I supported you, I helped you set up, and I even sacarficed time from my shop just to help you out! And all this time I was working for a liar?!"

"No Flare, you don't understand!" cried Vinyl.

"Oh I understand completely. You care more about DJing than your own friends! Angry panda face!" said Flare. "And I don't think you actually volenteered to clean the park, I think you just had community service because you were forced to! And B-T-W, maybe your name isn't really Vinyl Scratch!"

"I swear, that's my name!" cried Vinyl. "But yes it's true! It's all true! So, you gonna quit?"

"I was actually just gonna paint your face while you're asleep, but that sounds like a better idea." said Flare. "Send me my last paycheck in the mail. Oh, unless you're gonna steal that too. Tongue face." Flare stuck his tongue out at Vinyl, and walked out of the station. Spike and Psyche heard what happened, and followed Flare out. Vinyl saddly looked down.

Later that night, Vinyl went home. Vinyl opened the door and went inside. "Octy? Octy you home?" Vinyl yelled. Octavia didn't respond. Vinyl kept calling for her, and looked from room to room and couldn't find her anywhere. But when she got to her bedroom, her stuff was gone. There was a note on the bed, and Vinyl read it. "Dear Vinyl, Our time together I thought was the best. You were really a good friend. But now I realize that you're a thief and a liar. Thank you for showing me your true colors before I trusted you even more. I'm moved out, and I ain't coming back. I hope you're happy. Goodbye. Octavia." A tear fell out of Vinyl's eye. "What have I done?" she said sadly. "I lost a trust of my best friend, just for my own plessure! I gotta get Octy back! But how?"

Vinyl started knocking on Flare's door. Flare's eyeball camera activated near the door. "Unless you're here to challenge me to a race on Mario Kart. I don't wanna hear it." he said.

"Flare I need your help dude." said Vinyl.

"I'm sorry, Flare's not home right now. Please leave a message after the beep. BEEEEEP!" siad Flare.

"Flare please, I need to get Octy back!" said Vinyl.

"You got yourself into this. You get yourself out." said Flare.

"Actually you, Spike, Engie, Psyche, and Crystal helped me." said Vinyl.

"No, we helped you set up your station. You got yourself into this lie." said Flare. "If you know what's best for yourself and Octy, then you'd know excatly what to do."

"What should I do then?" asked Vinyl.

"How should I know?" asked Flare. "If you need transportation, I'll do that. That's all I'm giving you. Take some time to think. Also I'm still opened for that Mario Kart thing!"

"No thanks dude. I know just what to do now!" said Vinyl.

"Oh yeah? What's that?" asked Flare.

"I need... PIZZA!" cried Vinyl.

Flare was silent for a few seconds. "Hay yeah sister! Happy face! Let's go get some pizza!" cried Flare. Flare and Vinyl walked over to Flare's Pizza shop and ordered a pizza. After she ate the pizza, she gasped.

"What's wrong? Hot sauce got your tongue? I told you, nopony except me can handle that much Mareami Heat pizza." said Flare.

"No, it's not that." said Vinyl, but then she started turning bright red. "But now that you mention it." Vinyl's ears started steaming, then she drank all of her cider, and Flare's cider.

"Hey I was still drinking that!" said Flare.

Vinyl started breathing hard. "Flare?" she said. "I know what I must do."

"Order another pizza?" asked Flare.

"YES!" cried Vinyl. "But later, there's something else I must do first."

"What's that?" asked Flare.

"What kind of transportation did you have in mind?" asked Vinyl.

Vinyl and Flare walked outside. "DJ Pon3, I'm about to show you what nopony else has seen before!" said Flare. He takes out his keys, and pressed the disarm alarm button. It started to get really windy, then a helicopter with 'ROFL' and 'LOL' all over it came flying down to them automaticly.

"What is that?" asked Vinyl.

"This is my ROFLCOPTER!" said Flare. He starts spinning around with his hooves out like a helicopter. "It goes SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI!"

"Nice!" said Vinyl. "Where did you get it?"

"I won it at the Maremai Pizza eating contest." said Flare. "But I couldn't ride it, since I didn't have a pilot license. L-O-L!"

"Do you have one now?" asked Vinyl.

"Of course I do!" said Flare doing a Liarjack face.

"Sounds good to me!" said Vinyl.

Meanwhile in Canterlot, Octavia was getting ready for the show to start. She was putting on her makeup.

"Octavia, 3 minutes." said one of the stage crew.

"Alright, I'll be there in a sec." said Octavia. She takes out a picture of Vinyl from her pouch, then throws it in the trash, and sadly trots out onto the stage with her bass. Meanwhile outside, Flare was landing his ROFLCOPTER in front of the theater. Him and Vinyl jumped out and ran to the ticket stand. But when they got there, the ticket pony put up a sign that said 'Sold out'.

"No! You can't be sold out yet!" said Vinyl.

"Sorry, I am." said the ticket pony.

"But I need to go inside! My friend needs me!" said Vinyl.

"Sorry, you'll have to wait until after the show." said the ticket pony. Vinyl turned to Flare. "What are we gonna do now?"

"We've all seen Alvin and the Chipmunks. We go through the VIP!" said Flare.

"The V-I-P?" asked Vinyl.

"We know how it's spelled, dum dum." said Flare.

"How we gonna get in there? We don't have a backstage pass." said Vinyl. Flare takes out a backstage pass from his vest pocket.

"Have I ever told you that Flare Gun is the most leet pony around? Winkey face." asked Flare.

"Hay yeah, Flare!" cried Vinyl. "C'mon let's go!"

"Praise the Wizards!" cried Flare. They both ran to the back of the building. Inside the theater, the announcer was starting the show.

"Mares and gentlecolts, please put your hooves together for the Royal Canterlot orchestra!" said the announcer. The curton goes up and the orchestra starts playing. Octavia just played her bass with her eyes closed. While she was playing, a tear falls out of her eye. Back outside, Flare and Vinyl go up to the bouncer in the back.

"V-I-Ps only." said the bouncer.

"I'm Vip!" said Flare showing his pass.

"That's hip! Go on in buddy!" said the bouncer, moving out of the way for Flare to come through. Flare walks in, and Vinyl follows. But the bouncer blocks Vinyl's way. "May I see your V-I-P pass, miss?"

"Oh I'm with him." said Vinyl.

"Everypony needs a V-I-P pass to go inside." said the bouncer.

"She's with me brah." said Flare.

"Sorry buddy, but only those with passes can go inside. That's the rule." said the bouncer.

"Well that's all I got. G-G LOL!" said Flare trotting inside.

"Wait, Flare! Don't leave me!" cried Vinyl.

"Move along, ma'am." said the bouncer. Vinyl sadly started trotting away. But suddenly, the bouncer got knocked out. Flare came out with a broken bottle.

"You didn't actually think I'd leave you, right? Herp-derp!" asked Flare.

"You're the best, Flare!" said Vinyl.

"I'm the only Flare. LOL!" said Flare. "Besides, you finally showed us your real eye color, so it's the least I can do!"

"Let's go get Octy back!" cried Vinyl. Flare and Vinyl ran inside. Back in the theater, Octavia was playing her solo, but it sounded real sad. The audience started getting fraustrated. Vinyl and Flare ran backstage and saw Octavia doing terrible. All the ponies started saying 'BOOOO!' to her, and started throwing tomatos at her. Octavia teared up real bad.

"Dear Celestia!" cried Vinyl.

"Oh jeez, always with Celestia! LUNA! LUNA! LUNA!" cried Flare.

"Flare don't you see? Octy is doing terrible out there! I dunno why! I'm going out there!" cried Vinyl. She started marching on stage. Flare takes out his video camera and starts recording.

"Bring on the subscribers! Mischievious face!" said Flare.

Vinyl marched up to Octavia and takes out the microphone.

"Vinyl?!" said Octavia in shock.

"STOP IT! Stop it all of you!" cried Vinyl. "You think it's funny being laughed at? How would you feel if somepony threw tomatoes at you?!"

"Excuse me, you're interupting our show." said the manager.

"Too bad. I need to talk to my friend!" said Vinyl.

"That is out of the question." said the manager. Then Vinyl takes out a few bits and gives them to the manager. "You have five minutes."

"What are you doing here?" asked Octavia angerly.

"I came to see you." said Vinyl.

"I was doing fine without you!" said Octavia.

"No, you were doing terrible, I saw." said Vinyl.

"What do you want?" asked Octavia.

"I just came to apologize, and... I was wrong to steal your money for my own plessure. I should've waited like you said." said Vinyl. "After I heard your call at the station, I felt broken hearted. DJing just didn't feel the same without you. I didn't think I'd go on without my special friend there by my side."

"Well... I'm touched." said Octavia. "But you made a big mistake, a trust that's long gone. And... I don't think I could bare to see your face."

Vinyl takes off her glasses. "They're purple, see? Is everypony happy now? They're purple!" Vinyl shouted. "But when I wear my contact lends, they're red. You all happy now?!"

"That's not what I meant." said Octavia. "Look, I wish I could forgive you, but I can't. Not with this radio station by your side."

"That's why I sold it before we got here." said Vinyl.

"You sold your radio station?" asked Octavia in shock.

"Whatever, fine. If that's the way you wanna be, then so be it!" said Vinyl, then she sadly walked backstage, passed Flare.

"Holy Wizard of Feelings." said Flare, following her. "So..."

"It was all not worth it. I messed up big time. I lost a friend. And now I'm gonna go broke." said Vinyl.

"It's kay Vinyl. It's all gonna be kay. I could help you out." said Flare.

"Don't bother with me." said Vinyl. "I'll just..." Vinyl walked out the back door, leaving Flare behind. Flare looked down upsettingly. A few minutes later, he went to get some water from the fountain. Octavia walked out of her dressing room and saw Flare.

"Hey Flare." said Octavia.

"Sup Octy?" asked Flare.

"Not much. What are you doing here?" asked Octavia.

"I was with Vinyl. I helped her get to you." said Flare.

"Oh, that's how she got in?" asked Octavia.

"No, she got in through the door. LOL!" teased Flare.

Octavia giggled. "Yeah." she said.

"You kay?" asked Flare.

"Oh I dunno Flare." she said. "Vinyl has been my best friend for years, and roomate. It's just hard to believe she'd do this."

"Sister, she learned her lesson." said Flare.

"But still..." she said.

"But still nothing! She sold her dream just to make you happy, and forgive her!" he said. "Yeah she was wrong to steal her money, but she was aware of her actions, and just wants you back. Sometimes ponies must make mistakes so they can learn from them. And that's what I'm gonna write to Princess Luna later. Or you can do it."

"You know what, Flare? You're right!" said Octavia.

"Of course I'm right! I'm Flare Gun! I'm the bomb! I'm the tightest bomb ever! KA-BOOM!" Flare yelled.

Ponies started running out the door. "LOOK OUT! A BOMB WENT OFF!" a pony yelled.

"RUN AWAY!" yelled another pony.

"LOLOLOLOLOL! Canterlot ponies are so gulliable! Ex dee!" Flare laughed. Octavia ran out the door.

"VINYL!" she cried. "VINYL?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Flare walked outside with her.

"You actually think she'll respond to you right away?" asked Flare. "Hey where did my ROFLCOPTER go?" Flare paniced. "Vinyl is such a thief! Why did I help her out?"

Octavia and Vinyl both went on the train back to Ponyville. They both walked over to Vinyl and Octavia's house. Flare was angry. "Angry face! I'll show her what happens when you steal Flare Gun's stuff!" Flare swore. He knocked on the door. "Vinyl, open up! Angry face!" Vinyl didn't respond.

"Uh... Flare?" said Octavia.

"Fine be that way! IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR!" Flare yelled charging his horn.

"FLARE WAIT!" cried Octavia. But Flare already destroyed the door with his SHOOP DA WHOOP spell. "You know, I had the key to open the door." she said.

"Whatever! Vinyl where are you?" Flare yelled. Octavia and Flare walked upstairs to Vinyl's room, and there she was with many bottles of apple cider.

"Hey guys, what's happening?" Vinyl asked sounding dizzy, and shaking her head around.

"Vinyl! What happened to you?" asked Octavia.

"I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED!" Vinyl yelled at her face. Flare took out his camera again and started recording. "You embarrassed me in front of a crowd of ponies! And at my radio station! And you wouldn't even accept my apology!" Tears fell out of Vinyl's eyes. "I never wanted this." Octavia put her hoof on Vinyl's shoulder.

"Vinyl? I do accept your apology. I was upset, and I know you just wanted to live your dream, and just try to help out." said Octavia. "I do trust you, and you're my best friend." Tears fell out of Octavia's eyes. "And... I know, somewhere deep down in my heart... I still love you!" Vinyl started crying out loud, put her hoof on her chin.

"Shhh, it's okay. It's okay. I'm here now." Octavia said, hugging Vinyl.

"D'AWWW that's so sweet. Best cry ever!" said Flare still recording.

"I don't want a radio station anymore!" said Vinyl.

"And I don't want to be in the Royal Canterlot orchestra anymore." said Octavia.

Vinyl let go of Octavia and stopped crying. "So... you gonna stay?" asked Vinyl.

"I'm staying." said Octavia with a smile.

"Can we go out to eat?" asked Vinyl.

"Let's not get carried away now." said Octavia. They both looked at Flare, and Flare hid his camera behind his back, and let out a squee. "What did you have in your hoof?" Octavia asked.

"Nothing." said Flare nervously.

"Was that a camera?" Vinyl asked with a smirk.

"No." said Flare. They both went to hug Flare. "Oh now I'm getting hugs?"

"Hey it was you that bought us back together!" said Vinyl.

"No, I didn't do it. It was you." said Flare.

"Well you helped." said Octavia. "You got us to forgive one another."

"Oh yeah, I did do that, huh?" said Flare. "It's not everyday I get hugged by two mares at once. Oh wait, yeah it is. LOL! I live in Ponyville now."

"So Flare, you said something about writing a message to Luna?" asked Octavia.

"You do it." said Flare.

"For what purpose?" asked Vinyl.

"If you write 10 letters to Princess Luna, she treats you to dinner. I already wrote 19 friendship letters to her! One more I get another free dinner!" said Flare.

"Octy, I'll never steal from you again, dude!" said Vinyl.

"And I'll never be so strict again." said Octavia.

"Don't say it, write it!" said Flare. "Wait a sec! Vinyl where's my ROFLCOPTER?"

"I dunno, isn't it where you left it?" asked Vinyl.

"Didn't you steal my ROFLCOPTER?" asked Flare.

"No, why? I can't fly that thing. You have the keys anyway." said Vinyl.

"Wait, if you don't have my ROFLCOPTER, then who does?" asked Flare. The doorbell rings. Flare walks downstairs and recieves a note from a tow carriage driver.

"You Flare Gun? Your helicopter was in a tow-way zone." said the pony.
