- [ONE] Vinyl Scratch
- -------------------
- >Ok, you got this.
- >Anon had said that he had something special planned, but he wouldn't tell you any more than that.
- >What the hell was he planning?
- >It was driving you up a wall.
- >And his timing!
- >You were getting ready to start your signature, annual concert.
- >The one for Princess Luna.
- >
- >Every year, you'd do this concert.
- >Every year, you'd be just as fucking nervous.
- >Anon wasn't helping by telling you he had something planned.
- >You'd told him, so long as it doesn't bomb your concert, he was good for whatever.
- >
- >It's not like you didn't know him.
- >The two of you had been working together for a little over four years now.
- >Not to mention dating.
- >
- >Those hands of his.
- >Sweet Celestia, those hands.
- >He claimed to not be able to use magic, but you were certain he had to be filled with it.
- >There was no way his hands should be able to turn you to mush like that.
- >
- >Didn't matter now though, he was going to do his job as your sound boss.
- >He'd never let you down before, and he sure as hell wouldn't now.
- >He took extra care and time to prepare for each Lunar concert.
- >
- >These concerts were special to you.
- >You liked Princess Luna.
- >She liked your music.
- >Every year, you'd manage to bring her a little further out of her shell.
- >She needed to socialize more.
- >She didn't though, because she was nocturnal.
- >
- >So, every year, you'd dedicate one night to her.
- >Not just any night though, the longest night of the year.
- >You'd get the pegasi to save up for a real doozey of a thunderstorm each year.
- >
- >Why?
- >Cause lightning, bitch.
- -------------------
- >The storms really got you in the mood.
- >It was like nature was making music.
- >
- >You'd prepared a doozey of a concert this year.
- >Somehow, Anon had managed to sell out the entire fucking auditorium.
- >How?
- >Who the fuck knows.
- >
- >Each year he would have an idea on how to make that concert special.
- >The second year, he'd gotten up on stage with you and danced through one of your songs with you.
- >
- >The crowd went fucking wild.
- >Of course you weren't told about it, so you were a teeny tiny bit pissed.
- >
- >Until he started dancing with you.
- >You couldn't stay mad at his goofy self while he was dancing.
- >He'd taken you by surprise, just like the first time he met you.
- >
- >Well, time to focus now.
- >You've got quite a bit to do over the next couple hours.
- >
- >Your mind was racing to full on fucking overdrive.
- >Tonight was going to be good, you could feel it.
- >It was in the air.
- >It was in the music you were making.
- >It was in your damn beat.
- >
- >
- >
- >Time seemed to speed the fuck by, and before you knew it, the auditorium was filling up with your late-night audience.
- >God, it was scary.
- >The auditorium was completely packed.
- >Sooo many ponies.
- >You'd allowed the cap to be upped by a couple hundred ponies, at Anon's request.
- >He was planning something big.
- >Why else would he mess with you like this?
- >"Vinyl? Stage in five."
- >Shit.
- >Time to 'man the fuck up' as Anon would put it.
- >You donned your goggles.
- >Aaahh, it was good to have the goggles back where they belonged.
- >Time to get this gig going.
- -------------------
- >The lights shut off.
- >It didn't affect you one bit, because your goggles showed you sound, not light.
- >You snuck out on stage, and started the fucking party.
- >Instantly, your nervousness left you.
- >You let a few of your new songs you'd whipped up go on.
- >You'd set aside some old songs for later.
- >And a couple new ones.
- >The light show started.
- >You didn't see the lights, but you saw the small amounts of sound they made when they'd turn on and off.
- >
- >Almost an hour later, you were still going at it.
- >That is, until the music stopped.
- >You took your goggles off, and looked around for Anon.
- >You saw him running around franticly.
- >This wasn't good.
- >No, it was a disaster.
- >Why'd he have to fuck up on the Lunar rave?
- >He stepped up on stage, and flicked his headset to another channel.
- >His voice boomed out over the speakers shortly after.
- >"Fillies and Gentlecolts, we are experiencing technical difficulties; please stand by."
- >He ran off back stage again.
- >He just fucking left you there.
- >With what, 'technical difficulties?'
- >What the fuck?
- >
- >A few seconds later, the music started back up.
- >But, it wasn't the song you were playing earlier.
- >No, it was a song that only one other living creature had heard.
- >
- >You could feel your rage building.
- >He was so fucking dead.
- >
- >All the stage lights turned on at once, and they all swiveled to focus on you.
- >What the hell?
- >This wasn't part of the show!
- >
- >You turned around to find Anon and started planning out where to hide his body.
- >Before you could finish your thought though, you were staring at Anon.
- >He was on stage.
- >
- >And kneeling.
- -------------------
- "A-Anon... What are you doing?" you whispered to him.
- >He fiddled with the channel dial on his headset, and turned it on.
- >His voice boomed out over the speakers, for everypony and Luna to hear.
- >"Vinyl Scratch."
- >Oh shit.
- >He pulled out a box.
- >A black box.
- >Your heart stopped.
- >He looked you square in the eyes.
- >"Will you marry me?"
- >He opened the box.
- >Inside, was a beautiful, brushed steel version of your cutie mark.
- >It was attached to a series of threaded rubies as red as... your eyes.
- >Four rubies on each side, each increasing in size until they met at where your cutie mark hung.
- >All held together by a slim silver chain.
- >The music had stopped again.
- >The auditorium was dead silent.
- >All eyes were on the two of you.
- >Not to mention the lights.
- >
- >
- >"Vinyl?"
- >You hadn’t realized that you'd been quite for so long.
- >In reality, it was only maybe a minute; but to you, it was eternity.
- >He started to close the box, and lowered his head.
- >
- >You put your hoof on him and he froze.
- >Using your magic, you took the necklace out of the box, and fastened it around your neck.
- >Instead of answering him, you hopped up on your back hooves, and kissed him.
- >Right there, right then, with everypony and Luna as witnesses.
- >You leaned in and whispered into his mike.
- "Yes. On one condition."
- >He looked up at you.
- >"Anything."
- >You paused for a minute.
- >
- "Let's drop this beat."
