we interrupt our current Programming to enter the mind of one Vinyl Scratch...enjoy


well, after sending that letter, i simply waited.

but somehow, i knew exaxctly what was going on in canterlot.

with my trademark cheeky grin emblazoned on my face, i took a walk.

i stopped by the Music shop, grabbing a new pair of drumsticks.

"these'll do nicely" i grinned after paying the store clerk.

i then stopped over at a coffee shop. watching the world go by, i could see couples walking together, tails intertwined.

i felt a slight pang of jealousy. yeah... even the best can get jealous.

my smile didnt falter. until of course... i saw him.

the prick who made my life a hell for 6 months before i left. "Pokey Pierce" i spat in disgust.

"Vinyl Scratch, i assume you've met my"

"Don't care, miss... can i talk to you for a second?"

"no way" the couple walked off.

i simply stayed put, finishing my coffee.

Pokey Pierce was once a sweet colt, until he got involved with the wrong crowd.

he's the reason why i dont DJ anymore. I was still hurt by the betrayal sure...

but even so... he broke my heart... just like the others before him.

"man, since when did i get so... fucked up" i huffed to myself.

carrying on with my walk, i was quickly bumped into by a timid grey coated, white maned Stallion.

"oh man, i-i-i'm so sorry miss Scratch" he stammered nervously.

"Thats okay dude, just relax," i smiled as i helped him up. "and dont call me Miss scratch... thats my mother" i grumbled.

he blushed slightly wait... he blushed? and why the hell am i blushing? i thought to myself.

"d-do you wanna...m-maybe go out s-some time?" he stammered again.

"straight forward..." he looked as though he was waiting for a shot at his rapidly declining self-esteem.

"sure, why the hay not, Live in the moment right?" i smiled.

"ummm... h-how about we...g-go to that F-fancy resturaunt which had just opened" he was definately trying to beat his stammer, the poor guy. "um...sure, that actually sounds quite romantic" i blushed, i couldnt help it... there was something about this Colt that just seemed so... genuine.

i was never really one for romance... but maybe i could give it a try.

"you know the house on that hill over there?"

"y-yeah... theres supposed to be a... mm...a mm-monster living there isnt there?

i suddenly chuckled "buddy, Dont beleive the hype, that Monster is actually a pretty nice guy...just highly misunderstood"

i explained to him the origins of my bizarre, Human friend. "other than that, i'd say Dont hurt Luna infront of him"

i finished with a chuckle. "so, yeah if you want to pick me up at say 6:30pm?"

"oh s-sure" he smiled. little did i know, this night was going to be very interesting.


5:30pm, the alarm went off on Robbies phone. i was pretty thankful that he shown me how to set it up.

after turning it off, i decided to get ready.

it didnt take long, i threw on a simple red dress that complimented my coat.

i sighed as i dolled myself up. for some unknown reason my heart began to flutter.

i was nervous. "bloody hell!" I exclaimed as i sat down and waited.

the newest band members finally turned up. luckily Ditzy, who had become a regular visitor decided to look after them for me. "i'll have to pay you back at some point Ditz" i grinned.

"three words, Banana. Nut. Muffins" she chuckled.

there was another knock on the door. as i opened it, i simply smiled with a slight blush. celestia damnit its like i'm some lovestruck...filly..in a badly written...oh well thats just fucking "Great! your here!" i grinned sheepishly.

he stood opposite me with an equally sheepish smile. as we set off i decided to break the ice. "so... you know my name, but i don't know yours" he simply squeaked out an apology "hey its okay, every one forgets at some point"

"my name... its...well" he suddenly got quiet.

"i'm sorry but...what?" i placed a hoof on his shoulder.

"its Cello Harmonica" he sighed, expecting a full blown fan-fest from me.

i never gave it to him. "huh, who'da thunk it" i sighed. clearly seeing his face light up.

"you're not g-going to act all... erm...like a f-f-fanfilly are you?"

i shrugged my shoulders, "depends... do you want me to?" he shook his head violently.

"oh thats good" i smiled.

we had arrived at the resturaunt. Sunstreak simply smiled, "Hello Vin, the usual spot?"

"oh yes please Sunnie" i grinned at the waitress.

i noticed he began to relax a little bit. "so.. how come your stutter is so bad?"

his face turned a deeper shade of red. "we-well i... always get nervous and st..st...stammer around beautiful mares"

i blushed, i hadnt been called beautiful in years. "well... maybe i can help you get over your stammer" i gave him a kind smile.


after the meal, we had another little walk. unknowingly we wandered to a hill near the lake.

he began to look up at the night sky. "look there" he said as he pointed to a shooting star.

"what am i..." i watched as it danced across the sky. "it..its"

"just like you" Cello said as he looked at me.

i was always a little bit jealous of Luna, hell... what filly wouldnt be. but now? i've found my own Colt.

"are you saying you've always..."

"d-didnt know how t-to approach you" Cello smiled weakly.

"you mean to say...that"

"i know... i s-s-sound like a s-stalker dont i"

i started to laugh. "doesnt matter, least you asked me out"

he began to laugh aswell. i don't know why but... he just made me feel alot better.

"w-well, i should p-probably get you home" he smiled as he began to walk me back.


as we walked home he told me of his sole dream.

"heh but...with a st..st..stutter like this, i highly d-doubt i'll get anywhere"

"well, you never know, " we neared the door. i kissed him on the cheek. "and...thank you for tonight"

he blushed, and soon was... well cantering down the road, singing.

i simply leaned against the door, listening to the voice which could almost rival my Brother's.

"Robbie... i think i just found or second vocalist" i grinned.


Vinyl needs love too
