"Pudding?"

"Hey guys!"

"Vinyl! By Celestia, where did you come from?" Twilight snapped, clutching her chest and breathing rapidly. She spun in her chair to face the approaching unicorn. Vinyl's coat was aglow in the blacklight, giving her a ghostly appearance.

She pulled up a chair beside Twilight, hopping onto her seat with a grin. "Filly, please. I know all the ins and outs of this place. Buck, I was the one who designed it!"

"You designed this place?" Rainbow asked, her voice almost lost in the music and the constant chants of 'pudding' from below.

"Well duh. How else could I get here so fast? Magic?" She paused. "I guess. Anyways, how are things going?"

"Great," Twilight said with a smile. "Though I thought this place was only two stories."

Vinyl began bobbing her head to the thick beat. "It is, sorta. That there we call the pit. It's underground."

"That's... interesting. And what's with Luna?"

"Oh her? Yeah dude, she's cool. Except for when... um, nevermind." Vinyl snickered and craned her neck to see Luna. The glowing alicorn was still bouncing lively on her glowing stage, scratching records and mixing tapes.

"Yeah... so..." Rainbow looked down to Luna, then back to Vinyl. "Where's Octavia?"

"A better question is where has the rope gone," she replied with a wink.

Twilight and Dash giggled. "Well that's good for you two," Twilight said. Then suddenly, she whimpered and slammed her hooves to her loins.

Rainbow looked at her with a smirk. "Twi, we're in public. Now I'm sure Vinyl here has a private room somewhere-"

"Oh my, I need to use the little mare's room. Where is it?"

"It's over that way, just down the stairs to your right," Vinyl said, pointing a hoof behind her. A large metal door - golden like the rest - was a small ways down from their table. Twilight nodded, expressed her thanks, then leapt from her chair and raced to the door, leaving the table and her friend's in the dust.

She pressed against the cold doors, shoving two chatting colts aside. Ignoring their grumbles, she flew through the door, her face showing no signs of strain. And yet, it was there; she was simply biting her tongue.

Down a set of stairs and to the right, she found herself in a long, curving hallway, separated from the thick bass booming and in a more peaceful area. The few ponies that stood to either side of this gold carpet, white marble hall were idly chatting away; they seemed to be the higher ups of the club, with tuxedoes and dresses that were finely tailored to the last stitch. Twilight casually trotted past them now, examining her left and right for the mare's room.

There were several doors that lined the hall, but one in particular grabbed her attention. Well, it wasn't the door so much as the room. It was covered with crimson carpets, a chandelier hanging from its ceiling. There, in its center, sitting atop an elongated red couch, was a familiar blue unicorn, cape and hat adorned. She was idly sipping away at a glass of thin white wine, staring at the crackling fireplace before her.

"Trixie?" Twilight asked, popping her head into the room.

Trixie almost spilt her wine, barely saving it at the last second with her magic. She snapped around with a scowl. "Do I know you?"

"What? You should."

"Look, I'm trying to enjoy my evening here, so if you'll excuse me-"

"Why aren't you doing your 'Trixie this, Trixie that' thing?" Twilight asked as her eyes rolled around in her head.

"What are you-" Trixie stopped, shooting up right with a strained face. "Uh, Trixie does what he - she! - wants!"

"He?"

"The Almighty Trixie demands you leave at once!" she stammered, slamming her glass down beside the bottle, both on a table to the side.

"Almighty Trixie? I thought-"

Trixie hissed.

"Did you just hiss at me?" Twilight backed away with a snarl.

There was silence now, Trixie looking around frantically. "I, uh, Trixie - she! Umm..." She leapt over the couch, landing on her back. Her hind legs spread wide, her tail lashed to her side, and she was then fully exposed. "Look! It is big and hot and sweaty and ready for mating!"

"By Celestia, what the buck is that?" Twilight shut her eyes, spun around and darted away.

A stallion approached, a silver platter in his mouth, atop which sat two icy glasses of a deep burgundy liquid. He set the tray down on the table, and curtly took his leave.

"See," Vinyl said, levitating her drink to her mouth, "I told you; we only serve the best."

Dash took a sip. Her eyes widened to saucers. "Wow. That's... awesome. Dude, where'd you get this stuff?"

"I dunno. Record guys went searching, and found this."

"You mean the guys you got to pay for this place?"

Vinyl nodded with a smug grin. "Yeah. Hey funny you should mention that." SHe leaned forward. "Look at this." From her mane, a small slip of paper floated out. She slammed it down on the table with her magic, sliding it across the tablecloth to Dash.

"What's this?" she asked, picking the glowing sheet up.

"It was my plan for when I had the idea to build this place," Vinyl said with a chuckle. "It worked, oddly enough."

Dash eyed it curiously, but read it nonetheless.

Plans for Bar place thingy with strippers:

1)Think of step 2.

2)Think of step 3.

3)Take Tavi out to dinner.

4)Tell her the idea.

5)Bend Tavi over the mixing board.

6)Get her to go to record company in socks and panties.

7)????

8)Profit.

"This actually worked?" Dash asked, tossing the paper back to Vinyl.

"Well duh. We wouldn't be here if it didn't!"

"How'd you convince Octavia to go into the record company dressed like that?" A sly grin appeared on Dash's face as she leaned in as well.

"Easy," Vinyl scoffed. "When I had her over on the mixing board, I took my hoof, and went knocking on her front door. Nice and cozy in there. Kinda like... a warm watermelon." She winked, sitting back.

"I might see for myself," she said with a chortle.

"You should. Just make sure to-"

"Feel it pulse through thy body like a godly orgasm!"

Vinyl jumped up and leaned over the railing. "No! Bad Luna! No flashing!" She turned back to Dash with a grimace. "I gotta go, I'm sorry. Drinks on me," she said with a sigh. Rainbow Dash nodded, and Vinyl spun around and trotted off, shouting over the railing, "Bad Luna! Put your tail down!"

Just as she disappeared into one of the many golden doors that lined the ring, Twilight stumbled back in, fumbling over her hooves as she tried to make it to the table. Rainbow saw her, jumped up and swooped over to help her.

She made it to her side just before the unicorn fell. "Twi, what happened?" she asked with a worried gaze.

"It...it was..."

"Yeah?"

"...Green..."
