Vinyl Scratch: My Heart’s A Stereo

This story was made after i read some fics with Vinyl Scratch in it. I know she is a mare but i wanted to show a different side, what if she was a colt who fell in love with a mare. I wanted to be different than everyone else. Please dont hate on me for something like that. I would love the nice comments though. this was my first attempt at a romance and I hope you enjoy.

CH.1 The One

It was a usual day down at Club PON3. Vinyl Scratch was throwing down some beats for the massive crowd of music hungry ponies on the dance floor below. He bobbed his electric blue mane as he worked. He loved looking around the brightly lit room and seeing all of the ponies enjoying the music; whether it be the wallflowers at the tables tapping their hooves to the beat, or the ponies dancing on the rainbow of tiles below him. He was at ease.

He finished the song he was playing for the crowd and took a five minute break. He hopped off his podium and started walking towards the bar. “What’ll ya have” The bartender asked him. Give me a shot of whisky, and give it a kick while you’re at it” Vinyl replied back, waiting patiently for his drink to be ready.

“Hey, watch it. Can’t you see I want to get a drink here?” said a colt as he bumped into Vinyl, pushing him out of his way.

Vinyl could tell he was drunk. “You watch it” Vinyl said to the pony, trying to hold back yelling at him for not paying attention to where he was going.

The bartender returned, drink in hoof. “Here you go Vinyl, your shot of whisky with a kick” the bartender said, handing him his drink.

“Thanks” Vinyl said as he turned around to leave, giving one last glare at the drunk pony who pushed him.

He walked back over towards his podium, drink still in hoof. He hopped back up in front of his equipment, grabbing his headphones and wrapping them around his neck. He held his drink up and gulped it down. He felt instantly light headed; the bartender sure did listen when I said I wanted a kick, he thought to himself as he wobbled.

“Well, time to get back to work” Vinyl said as he regained his balance.

He started to fidget around with his mixing equipment, the music pumping out of the giant speakers. “Tonight, the terror begins again” Vinyl said through the microphone to all of the ponies in the club. Then he dropped the bass on his music, making the room echo with wobbles, wubs, and other sounds. The ponies on the dance floor began to dance once more, entranced by the new sound that they had never heard before.

A few more hours passed and some of the ponies left while others stayed and continued to enjoy themselves. Vinyl was content; he had something that would make everypony happy, his music. But deep in his heart he yearned for something more…companionship. He never knew the feeling of loving somepony else, all of his time was taken up at the club. He just hoped that one day love would find a way to crawl into his life. Until that time presents itself, he will continue to make everypony happy with his music.
-------
He works late into the night almost all week long. He never has too much free time, but when he does he likes to go on walks around town. He likes to get out of the club when he can and enjoy the fresh air. It soothes him, melting away all of his troubles from the club; like a bad tempered drunk, or a mare that just won’t listen to the word ‘no’. This was his nirvana, his way of letting his mind calm down and refresh before the cycle starts all over again.

It was a normal day, much like all of the others. Vinyl would spin out some rhymes on his equipment and watch the happy ponies dance and enjoy it. He was starting to get tired of the same routine. It was getting dull. He was hoping deep in his mind that something would change soon.

Vinyl Scratch finally got what he has wanted; a chance at something better than a solitary life as a lonely DJ.
He was taking a walk through the outskirts of Ponyville, collecting himself from a fight that broke out between two mares that both wanted the same colt. He was the one that had to break it up; something that he had to do only once in a blue moon. As he walked he calmed down and started to feel better. He continued to walk, not wanting to go back to the club just yet. He was looking at the colorful autumn trees in the distance when he accidentally bumped into something, or somepony to be more precise.

She was beautiful. She had a light grey coat, bright blue eyes that rivaled the sky itself in beauty, and a straight dark brown mane and tail that made his hair look like a young child’s in neatness. Vinyl was awestruck; her beauty took him completely off guard. He stood there; mouth slightly agape, looking at her.

She looked at him, smiling at the way he was looking at her. “Excuse me, I wasn’t watching where I was going” She said as she flipped her hair out away from her eyes.

Vinyl was finding it hard to speak “t-that’s ok, I wasn’t watching where I was going either.” He looked away awkwardly, trying not to get lost in those deep blue eyes of hers again.

“Oh, well I’m new here and I was wondering if you could tell me where some places of interest are…if that’s ok I mean” She said with a small smile that only made Vinyl more uncomfortable.

“Well, I still have a while left on my break; I could show you around if you like?” Vinyl said with a small grin, in his mind hoping that she would say yes to his offer.

“Sure that would be wonderful, I would really like that” She said back to him, blushing a little.

Vinyl’s heart began to soar with joy “Ok, let’s go.”

“Oh, I’m Stella by the way” the mare said as they began walking.

“My name is Vinyl Scratch, that’s a beautiful name you have by the way” He said with a smile, slightly blushing again.

She giggled “thank you, yours is nice too.”
-------
Vinyl took Stella throughout all of Ponyville, pointing out all of the places to go for entertainment, food, anything that she wanted to know about. As he walked with her, he grew more and fond of seeing her face. He no longer got lost for words when he looked at her. He was hoping, no, he wanted her to stay here in Ponyville. He wanted her, from the moment he laid eyes on her he wanted her to be with him.

“This is our last stop” Vinyl said as he stopped in front of Club PON3 with Stella in tow.

“What is there to do here?” She asked, squinting as she looked up at the bright neon sign that illuminated the front of the building.

“This is where you go if you need to get away from it all” he said smiling, looking at her face once more; he couldn’t stop looking into her radiant bright blue eyes.

“What do you mean?” Stella asked cocking her head to the side a little.

“Well, I am the DJ for this club, and I have made it my job to play music and allow all ponies that come in to relax and let the troubles of their day melt away” Vinyl said proudly.

“That’s so nice of you to do that. You know, you are really fun to be around, I really enjoyed being with you today” She said smiling, her cheeks turning a bright shade of pink.

“I had a lot of fun with you too, I hope that if you stick around for a while you come in and see me while I work sometime, I have something you might enjoy” Vinyl said, unable to fight blushing as well.

“I think I’ll have to take you up on that offer” She said, blowing the few strands of hair away from her eyes.

“Vinyl just smiled at her, he already loved her, and he thinks that she has a little of the same feeling towards him as well, but he keeps that to himself; for when the time is right he will tell, no, show her how he truly feels about her.

“Well, I have to go get some rest, maybe I’ll catch up with you later” Stella said to him as she turned around to walk to the inn down the block.

“I’d really like that” Vinyl said to her happily.

He watched her leave; happiness filling every part of his body. He was feeling that one thing that he has yet to feel until that moment….love. He almost bounced back into the club; he did not care that he was an hour late from break. He bounced up to his mixing equipment and started to bust out a new mix that he had just come up with since being with Stella. He started to pump out high and low bass drops and other beats making a vibrant new sound that practically vibrated with energy. The sound that came out of the speakers was beautiful; all of the ponies on the dance floor started to dance to this new tune and cheered when it was over.

“That was my newest song, it’s called ‘Stereo Heart’” Vinyl said proudly through his microphone, smiling at rainbow of ponies below on the dance floor.

The rest of his shift passed by and Vinyl did not stop smiling brightly; for he knew in his heart that the friend he had made today was one that he will have forever.
