When I got up in the morning I felt like everything was finally looking up. I was back home, everypony was happy, nothing bad was happening, all was good. I let Dash sleep in and decided to go downstairs and get breakfast ready for all of us. Oh, I kind of feel like Wheaties this morning….THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS! But seriously I’m making pancakes.

I was just about done making them when Dash and Stratus walked in. They sat down and I set a plateful down on the table and dished them out to both of them and myself. “Ok, if you want me to, I’ll teach you a little about the game system and you two can mess around with it and try it out while I’m gone today, so you can get used to it” I said to them as I took a bite of my hot cake.

“Cool!” Stratus said before he began eating.

“Sure, we can try it out. What kind of things can you do with it?” RD asked me with a smile.

“Well, with all of the games I brought, there are dancing ones, a few action ones, and a few others. I think you two would like Dance Dance Revolution though, that one is pretty fun” I said to them.

“Cool, I can’t wait to try it out!” Dash said to me with a grin.

When we were done eating and I cleaned up I met them in the living room. I pulled the tarp out and set it out for them and then I hit the power button for the TV and Xbox. They both turned on and soon we were at the home screen. “Xbox, play game” I said to the console’s Kinect feature.

“Did-did you just talk to it?” Rainbow Dash asked me with awe as the game started.

“Yep, the Kinect feature lets you be hands and well hooves free with the system. Now with this game you have to use the mat and hit the arrows with your hooves when the arrow passes over the marker to hit it. The closer you are the better your score you get. I’ll show you one round and then I have to go to work, but if you have anything to tell me, feel free to stop down and ask questions” I said to them before I moved my hand over the start button for a random song. I will have to show them DJ Hero 2 when I get home, that one will be pretty cool! DJ KY13 is in the hizouse!

I started the song and soon the arrows were moving towards the markers. I began moving my feet to the correct spots, and doing so horribly. After the song finished I motioned for them to try their hooves at it. “Ok, well, if you need me you know where I’m at. See you later love” I said to Dash before kissing her on the lips quickly. I walked out the door and decided to walk to the club for a change, maybe see some ponies on the way and say hi. I hope I see Derpy, maybe she’ll give me another special muffin as a welcome home present!

I made it to the club a little while later with a bag in my hand. I did see Derpy and she DID give me muffins! I wanted to see if they were special, but I had no idea how to tell, so I thought about Vinyl and her probably trying them before. I opened the door and walked inside. I put my bag behind the counter and saw a note on the marble top. I groaned and looked at it. It read:

Dear Kyle,

I know you came back yesterday and welcome back. It’s been rough around here and I have been having a completely shitty time with everything. Octy and I had a fight about a week ago and I think she broke up with me. I really don’t blame her and I feel bad about everything. I am going to open the club tonight, but I probably won’t be talking much, so you’ll be pretty much running the whole talking thing. Sorry if I bummed you out.

Vinyl Scratch

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. “Ok, she’s got to be in one of these rooms somewhere, I need to try to cheer her up a bit” I said to myself as I began to walk around the floor of the club. There was a second floor, but I never really saw anything up there other than storage, so I figured she was somewhere on the first floor. Heh, maybe I’ll give her a special muffin to make her all better, which is if these are special muffins!

I searched all doors but one and all others had no trace of her inside. I was left with the last door. I opened it quietly and found her lying on a black couch and she was staring at the ceiling with her shades down over her eyes. I walked in and shut the door and she turned her head towards me. “What are you doing here so early? The club isn’t going to be opened early so you didn’t need to come in this early” she said to me meekly.

“Well, I got your note and I am sorry to hear about what happened. I wanted to let you know that I’m here for you and if you need anything I’m here to help. Do you want to talk about it?” I asked her with hope that she gets it off her chest so she could go back to the out of control crazy drunken mare that I like. She’s about as fun as Twilight at a bookstore, and that’s not fun at all!

“There’s nothing to talk about. I pissed her off and she doesn’t want to see me, that’s it” she said before she turned her head away.

I picked up a comfy chair and walked over and sat it down next to her. I sat down and grabbed her shoulders lightly and pulled her up to a sitting position. She looked at me with those shades and I reached up and pulled them off her face gently. She had been crying recently. “Vinyl, you need to let this out before it just gets bottled u inside you. You have a shoulder to cry on, and I want you to know that Dash and I are here for you if you need our help, we’re your friends.”

She took me a little off guard when she reached her fore hooves around my neck and pulled me into a hug. She was crying on my shoulder and I patted her back and kept telling her to just get it all out now. I know she didn’t do anything wrong on purpose, but those two were right and wrong for each other. They complement each other with music, but yet their personalities and life styles are completely different. Counselor Kyle is in! I do free consultations! Which is a big rip off if you think about it!

It took her a while, but she calmed down and released me from the hug. I smiled at her “Feel any better now that you soaked my shirt?”

“Yes actually” she said sniffling. “You know Kyle, you are amazing, I tell you to leave me alone and what do you do? You come in and help anyways. Thanks” she said to me with a smile.

“I try to help everypony. I hate seeing anypony upset and I always want to make it better. Do you want to talk about anything else while you’re letting everything out?” I asked her without a care in the world. I like helping, and she couldn’t possibly say anything that I wouldn’t try to work out with her.

“Well, I was thinking about some stuff lately. You know how I was into a mare right? I thought she was cute and all and we got along for the most part right?” she started off to me.

“Yeah” I said to her. I’m sensing something coming my way and I might not like it!

“I never thought I was into males, I never found any of them attractive enough for me, but I found mares to be attractive enough. I did find a male that I’m interested in now though, and I think it’s you” she said to me, a little apprehensively.

I nearly choked on the breath I was taking. Oh shit, she likes me too!? What is going on here!? What will Dash say about this kind of thing, because I have to tell her, husbands do that kind of thing! “Me? Are-are you sure?”

“You’re the only one who shows nothing but love and tries to help me out with anything. I think you’re cute, funny, and I just really like you is all” she said to me in reply, now she was starting to flush.

“Ok, let’s talk about this topic for a minute. You know I’m married to RD right? I don’t think she’d like the idea of me getting closer with you also” I said to her, trying to be nice about it. I’m flipping out right now!

“She didn’t tell you? It’s ok for a ‘stallion’ to have more than one mate, it’s quite common actually, especially in our town” Vinyl said to me, not faltering her mood in the slightest.

“WHAT? It’s ok for that kind of thing here!? Who has more than one mate?” I asked her trying to see if she was bluffing or not.

“There’s Doctor Whooves, he’s courting with Derpy and Colgate, then there’s Caramel, who’s courting Flitter and Cloudchaser” Vinyl said almost instantly.

OH MY GOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!! IS EVERYTHING HERE BACKWARDS…AND UPSIDEDOWN! “OK, so I guess it’s ok here, but I am a little uncertain about this kind of thing, mostly because it was called being a bigamist where I came from, and it was bad” I said to her. I started to think about the idea though. Well, if it’s ok, and RD wants to do it, then I can’t say no to her. I will always try to make everypony happy. I also can’t lie when I say that I do have a little feeling for her deep down.

“To be honest, I talked to RD about this kind of thing once. I told her that I thought you were kind of cute and everything. She told me about her being the technical leader of the group, and she said that she was ok with sharing you, that is if you wanted to that is. She wanted that choice to be up to you. This was right after you and her got married we had this talk” she said to me as she levitated over a shot of Vodka.

AHHHH, my mind cannot comprehend the fucks that are flying about! I have to make the decision to get close to her along with DASH….FUCK THAT! I’ll let her decide that fate! “If she talked about this then I will have to discuss it with her too. I like you too, but I was with her first, so you have to understand that if she doesn’t want to we will have to stay just friends right?” I said to her sternly.

“Ok, I understand” Vinyl said with a smile. She brought me into another hug “Thanks for listening to me about everything. It made me feel better.”

“Glad to help” I said to her in reply with a soft smile.

The rest of the day went by fast; bartending was ok today, no rough housers. After I was done with my shift I said goodbye to Vinyl and told her that I would talk to her tonight about it and left. I walked home thinking about what she said to me. Do I want to do this? I mean I do and I don’t, on the one hand I will have two ponies I love together, on the other hand what if I couldn’t make them both happy? I love them both, and I think it’s a nice concept, but where I came from that kind of thing was frowned upon and it was wrong. I’ll just have to talk to Dash about it to get her point of view, then if she says yes I’ll have to tell Stratus about it.

A/N: I put this in for those of you who don't comment or don't look at the other comments. I know there are similarities as of now to Xenophilia and MSL, but that is to be expected from me right now. It is not going to be the same as Xenophilia because that story is only a romance and nothing more, mine is everything and its grandmother. My idea with her being close to Kyle is completely different than that story. i just had to make it look similar because i was finding it difficult to think of a better way to get her in with Kyle and RD.

The second one is the fact that this part of the story is a tribute to Coal and his amazing story. I did this because of the crap he went through and leaving the site. I loved that story and a lot of you did as well, so i did it for that reason, again this idea will be completely different than those stories ideas, it just looks similar for now, and it will look similar for the next chapter or so, but then it will be better, and you will come to think of this as an ok idea possibly.

I hope i don't lose any of you with this idea, but i hope you will trust what i say and stick by me on this, i promise that you'll get what you want out of it.

Next Chapter: 105. Kyle The Technical Bigamist Estimated time remaining: 44 Minutes
