Vinyl Scratch wondered the a streets. After being kicked out by Octavia she really had no where to go. Everypony knew that she was a very noisy roommate. After wondering around for a couple days, she came to a tower. She knocked, and was followed by an awkward silence. After attempting 4 times she turned to walk away. Cyan pony opened the door, hour of time spent brainstorming shown on his face. "Yes?" He said obviously too tired to be his normal paranoid self. He really should be though, as there was 3 attempts to take his life. However each attempt made Rainbowdash less eager for the next. "Oh, I don't think I've seen you before." She said forgetting her actual point momentarily. "Mutual." He answered waiting for her to say something else. After these long nights of endless thought and destruction of ideas, it was nice to talk everything out. "Wait! Before you shut the door, I have a question. Would you perhaps mind a roommate?" She asked dodgefully. "We'll I have gotten awful lonely, and maybe a roommate could provide information? Do you know where I can find one?" He s thought aloud. "We'll that's easy, ME! I'm a DJ so I can provide entertainment and by extent, inspiration." "Sure, uh wheres your stuff?" He asked confused a bit. "I'll figure that out later." She said walking in.
The lowest floor was a small kitchen area with a lounge. The 2nd floor of the tower was a small area full of bookcases and a central desk filled with crumpled paper balls made from failed ideas. "This is where I've been brainstorming all night." Cyan pony said his eyes struggled to stay open. After walking up two floors more they came to his room. A simple wooden floor with whit walls and a window pointed for the sun ands moonrise. They walked down a flight, "And this is your place to, 'crash'" he said almost toppling. "That great, dude thanks for this opportunity!" she said excitedly. "Before I pass out due to exuastion any questions?" Cyan pony swayed. "Yeah. Where do I put all my equipment?" she asked hurriedly. "Thaaaat gooooeees oooooon theeee floooooor beeeeloooow uuuus..." Cyan pony passed out after making it halfway to his room.
"Great. I'm not going to let him down. He helped me now I must make it up!" Vinyl pepped herself up. After teleporting her equipment in, she prepared perhaps the best, most inspirational mixes of her career. She went downstairs after setting everything up to play in 8 hours. She walked up to his desk of 1000 ideas. All seemed to be for a massive gift. Why would this pony need a statue? She around a sheet with all her answers, his emotion sheet as it was labelled. Everypony that he'd met was listed on there and had an emotion after it. After Twilight's name there was the marking for 'grateful'. That explain the papers pinned up everywhere with her name on it. Diagrams littered the floor, all for a statue. 'There is another way to make a statue' she thought. She walked back upstairs and proceeded to write up a music sheet for the ultimate sound device, the bass cannon. She was going to have to build it from scratch but Vinyl didn't care. This pony helped her so now she would help him.
Morning came and went, and not a pony stirred in the tower until the mix went off. Vinyl sat up at her workstation, she had came up with a piece of sheet music. One was for whistling and another for the bass cannon. The material that the statue is going to be made of would be easy to get a block of. Cyan pony walked down stairs in a typically good mood. The mix was inside his head moving ideas around. After passing Vinyl's workshop he walked back up to see what she was doing. "Uh Vinyl are you making a bomb?" Cyan pony in his normal paranoid state. "Nup! You'll see but first," she handed him a list and the whistling sheet music, ", practice this and get this in the exact size too." Confused cyan pony walked to town to get the stuff and practice the whistling. Vinyl was going to make some improvements to the living conditions. Improvements that got Octavia to kick her out, that and the fact that Octavia's all discorded. She went downstairs to fix up the dishwasher. It was to become, a dubstep dishwasher.
Cyan pony walked into town, unaware of the 5 ponies in the darkness preparing their afternoon scheme. He walked to the mine across town. "Excuse me sir?" The clerk looked up. "I would like to purchase a block of granite preferably 4x3x4 dimensions?" Cyan pony asked hopefully. "We'll you in luck, we just got a shipment. It will be 400 bits however." Cyan pony payed up. He thought, well what use is money if I'm dead 5 times over, I hope Vinyl has a great idea. He levitated the rock home.
Vinyl read over her piece on last time before Cyan pony returned from putting the clock on the even hilltop. A ways off, 5 ponies, pinkie their leader, prepped for their attack. Cyan pony went to talk to Vinyl about the next phase of the plan. "You've perfected the tune. Right?" Vinyl asked. Cyan pony nodded. "Great, so who's this gift for?" She asked. Without hesitation, "Twilight, she's saved my life 5 times not too mention restarting it once." He recalled his past weeks as painful but good. "We'll you get her to see this, I'll start setting up." Vinyl shouted as he left.
Cyan pony walked across town in his cloak, careful not to be seen. He knocked on the library door, his hood over his ocean blue eyes. Twilight didn't recognize him, good he thought. "Miss Sparkle, there has been a request if you attention at the park!" Cyan pony said disguising his voice. "Oh I wonder what that could be for?" She said and followed the mysterious pony.
Vinyl got the 3 bass cannons set up on the ground. She got out her mixer and keyboard and prepared for phase one. Cyan pony walked up, Twilight close behind. He flipped back his hood. "Cyan pony?" She asked, "oh I should have recognized the cloak!" "Considering you've worn it, yeah. You know that night you saved me with CPR?" He asked. "Yeah?" She said. "CPR doesn't require rescue breaths..." He told her. It didn't shock her at all, "I know." She said turning them both slight red. He replied, "That's not the reason you're here though. Vinyl, start up the bass cannons." On a hill far a way, a battle wagon set roll. After the bass cannons fired up their songs. Cyan pony jumped in perfectly with his whistling. The granite block started to crack under pressure of the sounds. The wagon rolled closer and no pony noticed. Once cyan pony and Vinyl ended their song. The block had become a massive statue of Twilight. She began to tear up, the words read, "Twilight Sparkle, The mare that has saved us all." After a minute at staring at their work, Cyan pony and Vinyl heard a different noise. Iron wheels rolled up the hill, pinkie screamed, "CYAN PONY!" The scream disintegrated the statue to a pile of rubble, forming a ramp-type thing. The wagon rolled up. "Pinkie NOO!" Rainbowdash's voice echoed out. The wagon took a slight rightward movement. The wagon knocked Cyan pony to the ground. The wagons weight all land on hi right half of his body. The spokes of the wheels cut him 30 different directions. His right hooves shattered and were lacerated. The wagon rolled off of him and Vinyl went inside to vomit. Pinkie jumped out of the wagon with Rainbowdash. "Pinkie!" Twilight yelled. Rainbowdash stood in between the two, seeing as Twilight was going to literally kill pinkie. Twilight began glowing. "Say your sorry!" Twilight demanded. "Twilight I'm so sorry. This went way too far!" She was so afraid. Flames engulfed Twilight as she channeled her energy into fire, the essence of life. Cyan pony wouldn't die, not here not now Twilight said to herself. "I will be isolated till further notice." she said levitating Cyan pony who, in the trauma went into a short coma. Once she'd reached her house spike welcomed her. "What did you do to him Twilight!" Spike shouted at the top of his lungs. "I can't explain, I have to help him!" She started by laying him down on a table. Every cut was covered by a stretch of medical tape. She laid him in her bed.
The next two days were painful for Twilight. Cyan Pony's heart rate was getting slower by the hour and himself getting colder. He'd gotten to the point she had to lay next to him to keep him warm, all the time thinking don't wake up now, just not now, but at the same time hoping he'd wake up then. Meanwhile Vinyl was doing some more snooping at the tower. She'd gotten so bored she went into Cyan Pony's room. She found a curious stone and two color-filled vials. She dared not taste them but poured them both on the imprints on the stone to see if the would mix in the pattern. The hoof print lit up and she steeped in it.
She glowed along with two others in Ponyville. Twilight awoke in a tank of familiar liquid. She climbed out to see Vinyl dubbed out. She walked over to pick up the cloak of cyan pony. "So do you have feeling for that cyan pony?" Vinyl asked Twilight. She held her head up took a breath and replied, "Yes, I do have feeling for that Cyan pony." "He is a nice pony isn't he." Vinyl said. In synch, they both said, "you just got to get to know him." How do you know him anyways?" Twilight asked. "Oh me I'm his roommate, he's letting me crash at his tower." "Oh." Twilight said going through the sleeves on his cloak. "He had so many things on his desk about you." Vinyl said. "I think he's great." she said putting the cloak on. Cyan pony might be in a coma for a month or so, but he could still hear. And he was grinning on the inside.
