Chapter 21: A Studio With A Songbird

Lola Bunny, Sticks the Badger and Vexy gathered DJ Candy to break away from her opposition of the argument - Vinyl Scratch, whom had to chance to explain this to Twilight, Rainbow and Applejack. An outsider like her wanted to break away so badly, but was also in desperate need to use the academy's studio for her sound-check. The only problem was, there was only one Sound Studio inside of the academy and both DJs want to occupy it. How would they do it? What will they do to compensate for their troubles? DJ Candy was taken away by the three girls, led by Lola and wandered into the courtyard, setting their eyes on the upper deck to hide themselves from Vice-Principal Trunchbull and co.. The four girls climbed up the steps and stopped as they found a good space to chat about the confrontation.

"What is this place?". DJ Candy looked around her surroundings, weird for someone who was not a student at the academy.

"We're on the upper deck of the courtyard that shares all of the dormitories". Lola turned around to face the blonde-haired DJ. "We've come here to separate you from Vinyl Scratch".

"Basically, that was the girl you was fighting with. She's also a student...I'm pretty sure Lola already said that back in Gym 2".

"I did, Vexy". The bunny glanced to her and slightly rolled her eyes.

"The toilings of the second fight and Wallflower's solo reign is gradually becoming as all tedious as it becomes". Sticks explained, all eyes focused on her. Only Lola could decipher her vocabulary, being second only to the bunny.

"What Sticks is saying is the hard work is making us uneasy and tiresome to say the least". Lola elucidated.

"Explain why that is the case...". DJ Candy was confused.

"Basically ever since we've come back vacation, Vice-Principal Trunchbull, that's our meanest employer here, she laid down some rules that felt controversial to us and the rest of the student body. We tried to fight around the problem by throwing Pinkie a party for her troubles and ended up getting split up by her. Next up was the fight between Countess Coloratura and Songbird Serenade, which we had to solve, but Wallflower Blush ended up getting in the way of our plans, leaving the popstars to settle their plagiarism lawsuit in private. Then there was the whole episode revolving around Sunset Shimmer and...you get me. This leads us to right now, solving a truce between you and Vinyl Scratch".

"Who's Wallflower Blush?".

"She's the President of Canterlot Academy's Gardening Club". Sticks further added. "Before she took a little stone that could weild magic, she was just an ordniary student, often forgot by the rapid development of the student body".

"Yep!". Vexy answered. "That's how it all came to be in the last month".

"I understand". DJ Candy started to speak. "It must be hard for you girls to enjoy what you love".

"Actually, Candy. We do enjoy things we love, but things like this get in the way of our funtime".

"That is why you need someone to put on a show! Spinning disks in my specialty!". The DJ whipped a black sound disk and spun it on her index finger.

"I see how you want to use the Studio for your sound check for your next album, but I really hate to break it to you...Vinyl Scratch kinda is already a student here and uses the room regularly. One of the five vice-principals said that the Studio was reserved for students only". Lola lead the small group.

"Oh...I get it, you're siding with her now!". Candy grew enraged and put aside her disk.

"No! We're not siding with anybody! We're 100% peacekeepers whatever we do!".

"How do we know if she isn't contrived to do what we hate?". Sticks whispered to the bunny. "We don't even know who she is".

"I don't even know who you three girls are, but thanks for helping me deflect my problems away".

"It's our pleasure!". The 7th member then got around to introducing herself and her friends to the DJ. "My name is Lola Bunny!".

"Sticks the Badger!". Sticks pointed to herself in gratitude.

"Vexy Smurf, but everyone calls me Vexy!". The smurf introduced.

"There's more of us, probably why we've come with a larger group". Lola stated. "There's nine more girls than us. But enough about us, who are you?".

"Only the best disc jockey in town!". DJ Candy therefore spun two disks on both index fingers. "DJ Candy! Codename: Supergroove! I travel around hosting concerts and dance parties for anyone feeling gloom and doomed!".

"Oh cool!". Vexy was gaining some hope just by hearing the DJ that stood in front of her. "Hey, if you're down for Gringotts later, we can hang out and chill, and maybe think of an alternative studio for you".

"As I said already, Vinyl Scratch is a student and she's the only one that uses the studio as much as you want to, Candy. Vexy is saying we should scout the city and look for-".

"A warehouse I can spin in?!". Candy broke the bunny's speech in desired fashion. "If there is any! I want to process the same quality of my clubs that I can enjoy so my fans won't disappoint! Ya gotta' pay a game of loyalty with 'em!".

"That's exactly what I was going to say!". Lola answered.

"I'm used to spinning in warehouses anyway!". The blonde-haired DJ chuckled.

"In that case...We're happy to assist you. Just stay out of Vinyl Scratch's way, okay?".

"To be honest, why were you even here in the first place?". Sticks asked the DJ.

"Songbird Serenade had me come over to the academy after she visited. After that lawsuit, she told me to practice my sound check in the academy's Studio. Not gonna' lie, that was a big mistake on my part!".

Lola and Vexy looked at Sticks, the 12th member didn't speak of this, nor was theorizing it.

"What? Songbird was only visiting, yet she made two stars angry!".

"That's a bit suspicious...". The bunny turned her head back to DJ Candy, asking to be excused. "Can you give us a second, Candy?".

"Eh...do as ya please!".

The three girls huddled together as they explained the situation in private.

"Songbird Serenade was somehow visiting this academy and in return, both Countess Coloratura and DJ Candy got angry". Lola explained.

"But what was the point in her visiting in the first place?". Vexy asked.

"I don't know. Ever since Applejack and Trunchbull pulled Songbird and Countess away from that fight, our friend left with the latter. I have no doubt something's going on with Songbird right now".

"Yes, but how is it in connection to a snappy vice-principal like Trunchbull?". Sticks was curious.

"I have in my mind that dangerous thought and I'm not gripping it loose. Even if Songbird is affected by a form of Equestrian Magic, would Trunchbull really be the feeder?".

"Pfft! Don't be silly!". Vexy laughed.

"No, I'm not being silly. Sticks...". Lola turned to the badger.

"I'm not the one being crazy here". The 12th member delivered.

"Hmmm...that leaves us with a clue". Lola concluded as the three girls broke away from their huddle. They all looked at DJ Candy.

"So...back on topic. We need to find somewhere in the city for you to practice your sound check". The Element of Sportsmanship lead. "I'll lead because I know my way around the city...".

"Cool!". DJ Candy replied with little knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes. Only the girls knew about what Songbird Serenade was capable of. Lola walked toward the staircase and climbed down, leading her to the lower level of the courtyard. The girls soon followed and made their way toward the academy entrance and into Canterlot City.

That's the end of this chapter. Lola, Sticks and Vexy finding hope for DJ Candy after telling her that Vinyl Scratch holds full responsibility of the academy's Sound Studio. What will happen next? Read on to find out. Please review.
