Conception

Electro House was getting annoyed. As in very annoyed. Waiting outside a door gets him very annoyed. "They've been in there for hours!" he complained. "What are they!? Bucking?"

"They're creating art!" Loose Animation hissed, giving Electro the look of deth.

"It doesn't take this long to create house stuff like they normally do," Electro argued.

"Speaking of house stuff, why haven't you been writing any?" Loose shot back.

"Because I write stuff with THEM," Electro explained, "and if THEY don't write anything, then I can't write anything!"

"There is logic in what you say..." Loose admitted. "But you can't rush genius!"

"Autotune uses way too much of his namesake and Synth sounds like a text-to-speech simulator," Electro said flatly.

Loose gasped in shock. "You dare insult them!?"

"Hey, just because I work with them does not mean I had to like them," Electro snapped. "Same goes for you, ya flank-kisser."

"I do not kiss flank!" Loose seemed to be a little upset at Electro's comment.

"Yes you do! They could walk out of there and say the most stupid bucking thing in Equestria and you would still compliment them!"

Suddenly, just that happened: Autotune and Dance "Synth" Pop came out from the room they were hiding in. I love the rules of comedy.

"We have finally come up with something!" Autotune announced. "On a side note, buck you Electro."

"How-"

"It's not a very thick door," Synth explained. "And we do have ears. If we didn't, that'd be weird."

"But I have to admit, that flank-kissing thing is kind of true," Autotune admitted.

"Hurtful!" Loose was upset again.

Autotune rolled his eyes and continued talking to Electro: "Anyways, we got stumped and didn't know what to write, so we decided to take a listen to our previous material. And it kind of all sounds the same."

"He's referring mainly to his work," Synth clarified.

"Hey, I'm talking about yours as well," Autotune said. "You're the one who wrote about the Rainbow Factory twice."

"Well..." Synth began, but couldn't think of anything.

"Anywho," Autotune continued, "we decided to try experiment with our music and try a different genre of music."

"Different genre?" Electro echoed, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, I just said that," Autotune nodded. "Don't copy me."

"I won't," Electro said sarcastically. "Now, humour me, what genre did you pick?"

"Gospel," Synth replied.

"I was supposed to say that," Autotune muttered.

"I know," Synth said back with a smile.

There was a little quiet.

"Gospel?" Electro repeated, going back on his promise. "You're... You're going to make a gospel song?"

"No, we're going to make a gospel album," Synth said matter-of-factly.

More silence before Electro broke it. "Y-you can't do that."he told the two artists that weren't Loose. "You just can't."

"We can't experiment?" Synth enquired. "Why can't we?"

"You have firmly established yourselves as house artists!" Electro stated.

"And?" Autotune and Synth asked at the same time.

"And, because of how you've established yourself, they expect you to release HOUSE, not some stupid gospel crap!" Electro said. He sounded angry for some reason.

"While that might be true..." Autotune began.

"Hey, they can write whatever they want!" Loose butted in.

"You see? This is exactly what I mean about him being a flank kisser!" Electro said to Autotune and Synth.

That comment caught Loose a little off guard, even though it was expected. And guess what that made him? "I was just defending them..." he said.

"Mm-hm... But anyways..." Electro said, quickly brushing Loose off. "You two! You... You cannot write gospel music!"

"Hey, I said we're experimenting," Synth reassured Electro. "No need to get your knickers in a twist."

"But you singing gospel is like Vinyl playing jazz!" Electro retorted.

"Oh, you didn't hear about Vinyl releasing a jazz-house album with some kind of alternate universe version of herself?" Autotune asked.

Electro blinked. "What?"

"Yeah, it's not that bad," Synth said. "I especially like their cover of 'Waters Of Nazareth'."

"Really? 'Stop Playing Rock 'N' Roll' is also pretty good," Autotune mused.

"Eh, too smooth for m-"

"I give up!" Electro suddenly shouted, stopping the two artists' pretty pointless conversation. "Write whatever you want, but I'm not taking any part in it!"

And with that, he flew off in a huff, muttering to himself about checking out Vinyl's jazz-house album on iTunes.

"Aw, damn, he was supposed to produce it," Autotune said to nopony in particular.

"'Tis a mighty shame..." Synth agreed. "We also needed him to co-write some stuff."

Autotune thought about that for a few seconds before saying, "I'm still giving a writing credit."

"Yeah, but what about the producer thing?" Synth enquired.

"Um... Buck, didn't think about that..." Autotune murmured. "Hmmm... Hey, Loose, you want to produce an album?"

"I guess I could do that," Loose said.

"Good, we need 27,838 bits," Autotune informed Loose.

"27,838 bits?!" Loose exclaimed.

"Now you're doing it..." Autotune said. That remark was ignored.

"This stuff costs a lot of bits," Synth explained. "You think stuff like this is cheap? And it's not just computers this time; we got get actual ponies on this!"

"I didn't say I wasn't going to do this-" Loose tried to start a sentence.

"Then do it!" Autotune said. "I don't mean to be rude, but if you're going to do this, then do it!"

"Um..."

"Well, enough of that, I guess. C'mon, Synth, let's write this thing!" And with that, Autotune and Synth went back into their writing room and locked the door behind them. Then Synth quickly unlocked it, closed the door, then locked it again.

"...Well, time to go check out my bank account," Loose said, wandering off. Next Chapter: Writing I Estimated time remaining: 6 Minutes
