It didn't seem like long that my eyes were closed because seemingly right after I felt myself leaving Earth, I heard the sound of trotting ponies nearby and I knew I was already back in Equestria. But why? I had thought that I had to go in the place between realities in order to travel but this time I didn't. I opened my eyes and I found myself back in Celestia's castle, in what appeared to be the grand hall of sorts. I looked around, as I didn't have the luxury to see it earlier before I had passed out and was amazed by the beauty of it all; the walls were splendid and the guards as royal as can be. I slowly got up from my sitting position to a standing one and trotted around, looking for either Celestia or another pony I recognized. Almost right away I came across Celestia, who was busy instructing a guard to put away something.

"Hey Vinyl, how was your journey?" Celestia told me.

"Hey Celestia..so why did you call me out from my family? What's so important that you had to interrupt probably my only time meeting them again."

Celestia blatantly looked at me and responded as best as she could.

"Because dear, it is very important why I called you back. Vinyl I'm sure when you crossed between the realities you came across dark creatures of some sort correct?"

I nodded, raising my eyebrow as I continued wondering what was so important that had interrupted my time with my family.

"Those creatures are very evil and threaten the very existence of Equestria and of Earth as well however I wanted to tell you that you had almost destroyed them all but a few had survived, including their leader. These creatures will come back and they will seek the destruction of Equestria and will do anything to get rid of whatever is in the way and I'm afraid dear, you are the one who is stopping them right now."

"Wait so is that why I'm-"

"Precisely Vinyl, that is why you are the "One". Not only do you posses the ability to fight them, you can also travel in the realm they exist in freely, therefore you are able to stop them from plaguing not only Equestria but of Earth as well and any other dimension they choose to attack. You probably noticed this but the trip you made back here felt almost instantaneous right? That's because the creatures you had destroyed slowed their ability to reproduce and therefore you had weaken them, not giving you a reason to enter the place between realities."

I stood there, nodding my head in acknowledgement.

"Remember Vinyl you are free to travel between the realities if you wish but remember, the dark creatures will be back. That's why I think it is best that you get more accustomed to Equestria. Twilight has a theory that the power of the "one" stems not only from of the dimension of Earth but of Equestria as well and this can only be achieved by creating strong relationships in both realities, especially Equestria since you are still new here. So get out there Vinyl and meet more ponies!" Celestia said to me, smiling when she finished.

I nodded my head and chuckled, smiling at Celestia. She then led me out of the door of the castle and casted a spell of some sort on me once we were outside of the castle. Almost immediately I found myself back near Ponyville, and noticed what appeared to be a cafe of some sort in front of me.

"But wasn't I just-? Eh nevermind" I said to myself.

I trotted towards the cafe because I knew if I was going to meet new ponies at all, it was going to be at a social place such as the cafe. I trotted up to the door, opening it and was met by the friendly atmosphere that inhabited the cafe. I saw a stage at the far end of the cafe and noticed that all the ponies were all gathered around it, all of them listening to what seemed like poetry being recited onstage by a green pegasus. I found an empty stage somewhat close to the stage and decided to sit down, looking around at all the ponies who were there. However my eyes stopped at the line of ponies who were waiting to go on stage because I saw a grey mare in the line who looked shy and unsure of herself. For some reason there was something appealing about that grey mare; she knew how to keep herself looking sharp, from her combined mane to her perfectly tied bowtie. My eyes then drifted over to her cutie mark and I noticed it was a purple treble clef. I then started looking past the cutie mark and to her tail and slowly kept looking down from the tail....

"Wait...what am I doing? Oh no. Ohh nooo. I'm becoming attracted to female ponies, aren't I? I mean I know I'm a pony and my sexuality hasn't changed but this isn't possible...right?" I thought to myself.

I kept staring at the grey mare's flank and I felt my..region..starting to get very hot and moist.

"Umm...uhh..am I..am I getting..." I asked myself in my thoughts, knowing the answer to my own question.

However I dismissed these thoughts as I decided to go up to the line, surprised at how bold I'm being. I had never done something this bold before when I was human and I was excited for the first time in my life I had the courage to do it finally. I keep looking at the grey mare and saw that she was about 3 ponies away from me. Despite our distance, I attempted to call the grey mare but to no avail, she could not hear me. I had two decisions then; I could skip ponies or I could just wait. I decided that I should wait and talk to her after she went on stage and I as well. Pretty soon she went up on stage, and produced a cello I did not see earlier when she was in line. She then started playing it with such precision and obvious training and I admired her for it because it reminded me of when I was a young kid being trained to play properly in my band. She continued playing the instrument, not missing a cue and never too loud or too soft. I was amazed that she didn't not mess up at all, and that none of her notes were either flat or sharp.

"Ha awwh yeah" I thought to myself, bobbing my head in enjoyment and respect to the mare's music.

Pretty soon she wrapped up her song she had played and performed a small bow towards the cafe. The cafe responded with a customary applause which slightly infuriated me.

"Oh come on guys! She's pretty good! She deserves more than that!"

Immediately all the ponies in the cafe looked over to me and my cheeks slightly reddened from embarrassment. The grey mare did as well but I noticed that her cheeks were red as well from my comment. She then trotted off stage and into the crowd but not without looking over to me occasionally and shying away each and every time she did. I got so distracted at her being cute I didn't even realize I didn't have a plan and I desperately looked around, trying to find something I could do. Pretty soon the line in front of me starting dwindling down, from 2, to 1 to eventually 0 because I was next. I then noticed the pony that was currently on the stage was using a turntable and I decided what ever that pony used as a track, I would use it but mix it up with a little touch, a little "flair" if you will. I then decided to quickly look out to the crowd to see where the grey mare went and I found her right away; it was pretty easy too because she was the only one in the crowd staring at me. As soon as I had looked at her, she looked away shyly and I did the same. The stage director then called for the next pony and I went up there confidently, almost stumbling as I trotted up the stage's steps. Nonetheless, I made it up on stage in one piece and head over to the turntable, placing it in front of the microphone on the stage. I could feel the lights of the stage starting to heat my mane up as I stared out at the crowd, speaking into the mic.

"This one's called..umm...Spinin' Circles....yeahhhh...alright here we go."

However just as I finished saying that into the mic, I heard a faint chuckle coming from the crowd and I noticed it was the grey mare, who looked away from me as soon as I looked at her.

"She's cute..heh" I thought to myself.

I then started the impromtu song, mixing up the sound track the previous pony had to my fancy. Pretty soon I started gaining the whole attention of the cafe and at first I didn't know it it was good attention but I realized they were cheering me on and not booing me, causing me to smile in joy and continue the impromptu beat.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM"

"Pew da ra-pew da ra-pew da ra-pew da ra- pew da ra"

"Dunduna dundunadunadunadun dua adanda duna duananaduana dun duana dunadana"

"Bling bling bling beh-be-bling bling bling bling beh-be-bling bling bling bling beh-be-bling bling bling bling."

I raised up my hoofs, amazed that the impromptu song was slowly becoming one of the best beats I have ever made in my life.

"Awwwwh YEEAAAAAH!!" I almost yelled into the mic, starting to head bang, something I never did much and loving how awesome my voice sounded.

The cafe loved it and in response kept cheering me on as I continued the sick beat. Eventually I decided enough was enough and I wrapped up the awesome beat with lots of drums to conclude it. I bowed respectfully at the crowd and in return they yelled in glee, all of them screaming "YEAAAH!" I headed down the stage with a huge grin on my face, feeling amazing and super confident, causing me to trot over to the grey mare. I noticed she saw me heading towards her and in response she moved, as if she wanted to sit next to me.

"Haha alrighty" I thought to myself.

I trotted up to her and asked if I could sit there and she agreed that I could. I did and I smiled at her, which she did right back at me. She then spoke, and I quickly adored her accent.

"So what is your name, DJ." she asked me not only with a slight English accent but with a smirk as well.

"Vinyl. Vinyl Scratch" I said back at her, winking.

That wink was probably the boldest flirty thing I have ever done in my life yet it must've worked, because she told me her name.

"I'm Octavia Melody, a fellow musician such as yourself. I noticed you must have a taste for classical music besides this...electrical music you played from us based on your earlier remark. Do you think I did good though? I felt my entry was too strong and my notes were flat."

"No you were awesome Octavia! I mean you were spot on and didn't miss a single entry or cue. Your notes were also excellent; not once did I hear a flat or sharp note."

She smiled at the positive remark I gave her and in return she offered me lunch, which my stomach answered for me.

"I suppose you do need grub" she chuckled, looking towards my stomach as it growled.

I nodded and thanked her for offering me the lunch, which then came pretty fast. We sat and ate for what seemed like forever, talking about both of our short performances and how similar we were in likes, such as in music and what our interests were. Eventually I found myself spending nearly the entire day with her, and at one point she even offered for me to come over to her house. I couldn't refuse and I ended up spending the night with her. She then hinted at me that we could sleep in the same bed and even winked at me, suggesting something else. I started blushing extremely hard as I chuckled back at her, smiling and agreeing to do so. Before I knew it we were both in her room and I knew it was going to get pretty exciting pretty soon as both my heart started thundering and my region got extremely hot. But of course, I can't describe everything that happened because it happened all so fast and so romantically. Oh yes, oh so romantically. Before I knew it, both Octavia and I were panting from the rigorous lovemaking we did and we looked at each other, both our cheeks red from exhaustion.

"That was awesome...oh..soo awesome!"

"I agree Vinyl! Well good night then."

"Good night!"

I smiled at her and she did back at me, causing me to feel all warm inside. We both then fell asleep in each other's arms, cuddling each other with carefulness and what I started to believe was the beginning of a loving relationship.
