Fluttershy passed Applejack's room on her way to meet Vinyl. She heard muted talking, and a sob or two. She started to wonder if she should knock and see if everything was okay. Then she remembered that she shared her room with Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy figured that Rainbow Dash could help her. She continued on her way.

She took a left, then a right, and suddenly she was at Vinyl's room. There was a steady whump whump whump of the party music that Vinyl liked to play. She hesitantly knocked. The music came to an abrupt halt, and she could hear hoofsteps coming to the door. It was too late to back out now. The door opened.

Derpy had answered the door, and without a word, smiled and waved her in. Vinyl was lying on her bed, which was a water bed, and it was heated. Vinyl didn't even look up from the music magazine she was reading. She laughed.

" I knew you'd be back Fluttershy. " She stated. Fluttershy couldn't think of anything to say.

Vinyl talked again, " Hey Derpy, would you mind going to the kitchen and baking us some muffins? I'm in a muffin mood. "

Derpy, who wasn't really paying much attention to the conversation, snapped her head up at the word " muffins ". She started to get giddy. Muffins?

" Uhhhh...Sure thing Vinyl Scratch! I love muffins! " Derpy said. And with that, she darted from the room, going to locate the kitchen, and hopefully, someone to help her with her muffins.

" Now that we're alone... " Said Vinyl as she put down her magazine and got up off her bed. She trotted over to Fluttershy and stood less than one step away. " What's up, buttercup? "

Fluttershy skirted around Vinyl. She was too close. Now, Vinyl's back was to the door. " Umm. I just wanted to t-t-talk to you about...w-w-what happened...earlier. I hope you're not mad. "

Vinyl chuckled, the light from her disc jockey table reflecting off of her shades. " Oh Fluttershy, you don't get it, do you? Why would I be mad? " She took a few steps closer and whispered in Fluttershy's ear, " Silly filly... I liked it. "

Fluttershy's heart started to race. She was starting to feel hot. Oh no. Not now. Was she back? Please...other me... not now. I have to confront Vinyl on my own. I can't have you interfering. Please.

She got one answer. Oh no, my dear. This is all you. Have fun.

Fluttershy went pale. She didn't know what was happening. " Umm... You don't understand. There's...oh it's so hard to explain. There's another me, a different me, that makes me do things without thinking. "

Again, Vinyl laughed. She was a bit skeptical, but she could roll with it. " Look, Fluttershy, I'm going to say this as straightforward as I can. I like you. I want you. You're cute. "

Fluttershy squeaked and tried to scoot backward, resulting in her falling on the heated waterbed. Vinyl took her opportunity and pounced. Fluttershy was racing, physically and mentally. Vinyl leaned in till their lips were but an inch apart. Slowly, she reached up and took off her shades. Her fierce, glowing red eyes flashed brilliantly in the low light.

" Just let me try this Fluttershy. One kiss. If you don't want anymore, all you have to do is walk back to your room. But, after this kiss, if you stay with me, I'll show you a whole new world. " Vinyl offered.

Fluttershy nodded her consent. She closed her eyes as she saw Vinyl lean forward. And then, she felt it. The kiss. Vinyl's lips on hers. The heat from the bed, and the heat from Vinyl overwhelmed her. She kissed back. Then, much to Fluttershy's chagrin, Vinyl pulled away.

" So, what's your choice? "

" What? " Fluttershy mumbled. She was wrapped up in the heat of the moment. The heat of passion. " I'm... I'm staying with you..."

Vinyl didn't say anything, she just laughed. She leaned back in for another kiss. She covered Fluttershy in kisses. Her tongue brushed across her neck. Vinyl nibbled on Fluttershy's ear. She pulled back for a moment, and flipped. Fluttershy was suddenly on top of Vinyl. Her wings had room to extend.

" Take it away sweetie." Murmured Vinyl. Fluttershy was shaking. She didn't know what to do. So, she got off of Vinyl and turned on some music. It might help her relax. Except it wasn't her type of music. It was the type that Vinyl liked. Heavy bass pounded into the room, causing everything to vibrate.

" Good move. " Vinyl giggled. She led her new lover to bed. Having someone new to teach the ropes to was so much fun! Where this would lead, she didn't know.

Fluttershy was a whirlwind of feelings. Pleasure, confusion, happiness. She was getting lost. And for the first time, she didn't care. She let herself go. She let herself have fun.

As the mood lighting on the DJ station dimmed, the couple's eyes lit up. Fiery red met a cool, sapphire blue. Two polar opposites, naturally attracted to another. Timid to outgoing. Shy to social. Innocent to experienced.

Then, as the music took a slower pace, the lights dimmed to almost nothing.

Then fire met ice and melted.
