Chapter 12 A Night to Remember
>You are Anon.
>And your dick hurts.
>Not surprising considering you, once again, had raunchy fun time with Vinyl.
>Oh yeah, and this time Octavia decided to join in on the fun.
>You were still surprised at how aggressive Vinyl had been about getting her joining the two of you…
>But you were not going to argue.
>You loved Vinyl, and you loved Octavia… as long as the two got along with each other, you would be ok being with both.
>However, your loyalties lay with Vinyl first.
>You decided it was time to open your eyes.
>The first thing you see is Vinyl and Octavia, snuggled up to your bare chest.
>It was, without a doubt, the cutest thing you had ever seen.
>You really didn’t want to get up and disturb the two mares currently using you for a pillow, but one glance at the clock showed it to be 8:15.
>Tonight’s show begins in 45 min.!
>You jump out of bed, causing the two mares to go flying off the sides of the bed.
>”GAH!”
>”HEY!”
>Well that’s one way to wake them up.
>You dash to the bathroom to wash up and let them fully wake up.
>After a quick 5 min. shower to get the worst of the love spray off of your body, you hop out and dry off.
>You head back into the bedroom and see the two of them waiting for you to get out.
>They dash in without a word and jump into the tub together… probably to save time.
>They must have seen the clock and realized that there wasn’t time to dick around right now.
>You get dressed on some clean clothes and run to the kitchen to grab an apple.
>You were going to need some quick and lasting energy for tonight.
>After you finish your apple and the women get out of the shower, it’s already 8:35
>Not much time to get the club ready!
>The three of you head downstairs to find the club staff already cleaning and stocking the bar, sweeping and mopping the floor, and the kitchen staff were just about done prepping everything for the dinner rush.
>You look around and your suspicions are confirmed… Chet was leading everything.
>You really had to pay that guy more for putting up with your antics!
>”Hey boss, have fun?”
>The look on his face was one of forced innocence.
>Vinyl, you, and Chet laugh, while Octy just blushes furiously.
>After you are done laughing, Chet decided to get serious.
>”Well, I got everypony organized for tonight’s show. The kitchen is ready to cook, the bouncers have been briefed, the barbacks have fully stocked the bar so you can work your magic… all in all… we are ready!”
>You nodded, absorbing the news.
>You turn to Vinyl.
“Are you ready to go on tonight?”
>She scoffs and puts on her shades, “I was born for this!”
>Well, that answers that question…
“Octavia… I am sorry you missed your gig, how about you open for Vinyl tonight… we will pay you!”
>She looks at you, seriously considering it, before answering, “Sure, I just have to run back to my apartment and grab my cello!”
>She runs off without a word, and you turn back to Vinyl,
“Ok, she will be opening for you, turn on some stock music until she gets back!”
>Vinyl trots over to her booth and switches on the music player you had set up.
>This was gonna be one hell of a night!
>You are Octavia.
>And you are still struggling to understand what happened back there.
>One moment you were relaxing with an old friend and a new one…
>The next you were on what has to have been one of the most intense lovemaking sessions you ever participated in!
>Once upon a time, you might have condemned such depravity… now all you could think about was that bed, that mare, Anon, and you all mixed together.
>This seriously worried you, but considering you had always wanted to be with Anon, it didn’t bother you as much as it probably should.
>But, there was no time to think about that now, you had to rush and get your cello so you could perform tonight.
>It had been months since you had went onstage at Anon’s club… you had remembered when the packed crowds were there for you.
>When the bit’s flowed like water and the club was packed every night.
>Poor Anon, he had obviously wanted to have a relationship, but you tried to string him along.
>It wasn’t your forte sadly…
>But the two of you had fun and things were going well!
>Those were the good old days.
>You arrive at your apartment and quickly dash inside the clean living room and grab the massive cello case from the table.
>After slinging it across your back, you run like a madcolt back to the club.
>It was going to be close… and you were right.
>You got back with literally minutes to spare.
>It was show time!
 
>You are Anon.
>And the crowd was getting restless.
>You had informed them of Octavia’s return for the night.
>This got their attention.
>Octavia was the only classical performer that had ever succeeded in pleasing you crowd… and to hear that she was making a return trip had everyone all kinds of amped up.
>You were willing to bet that if Octavia didn’t show, you would have a small riot on your hands.
>Just then, Octavia burst through the door.
>The entire showing cheered and stomped their hooves.
>You wave her down and grab her some water from the tap.
>”Thanks!” she said, greedily gulping down the water.
“You almost didn’t make it!”
>She laughs, “You didn’t think I would miss my big reappearance did you?”
>You pat her head and motion for Vinyl to get ready…
>While Octavia was playing, Vinyl would be working the lights and other stage affects.
>Your club had one of the most advanced special effects packages in Equestria, mostly because of your time working with ILM… what a learning experience that had been.
>Octavia heads onstage, the crowd had to be held back by the bouncers so they don’t rush her.
>Despite almost being late, the mare still had the upper-class quality… that air of importance that just made you WANT to be next to her.
>She calmly took out her cello, an instrument easily as large as her, tested the strings, and began to play.
> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyAy6hxGirg)
>As usual, it was incredible to listen to.
>If Vinyl was the quintessential DJ… she was no doubt the quintessential cello musician.
>She played her soul into the song… there was happiness, love, conflict, and many other emotions being played into the song.
>You noticed all of your customers were silent, there was no cheering, no booing, no nothing.
>Everyone was just quietly enjoying Octavia Melody play her heart out for them.
>It went on like this for a while… you didn’t mind, she was allowed to play any song she knew, no matter how long.
>And you could tell the crowd didn’t care, they loved it.
>The complexity of the song was, surprisingly, not lost on anyone.
>You felt a few tears come to your eyes as you played, and you saw more than a few ponies reach for a handkerchief.
>Even Vinyl, who you could just make out in her booth on the ultra-low light, had her shades off and was quietly crying.
>It was clear Octavia was well received… which had always surprised you.
>Your normal customer base generally hated it when you scheduled classical music to be played, but they made an exception for Octavia.
>Before too long, she was done.
>When she played her last note there was a moment of silence as it dawned on the crowd that the song was actually over…
>Then, a roar of applause and enough stomping that you were sure the floor was going to have noticeable dents in it.
>She bows low and proud, which always confused you… like, how did she maintain her balance?
>Damn ponies and their physics defying ways.
>She heads backstage and Vinyl takes front stage.
>She must have found your headset, because she was wearing it.
>”That was Octavia! Let’s give her one more round of stomping!!”
>She was hyping up the crowd, even you could see it, and it was working… they were going apeshit.
 
>You are Vinyl
>And you are absolutely astounded.
>Octy’s performance was amazing!
>You had never been one for classical music, but you could listen to that anytime.
>But, now it was your turn.
>You had to go up there and blow them away, make them want to come back here every night, just to hear your mixes.
“Are you ponies ready to party?!?!?”
>You get a deafening cheer of affirmatives as they practically tore the place down with their voices and hooves.
>You had pondered which song to kick it all off with, but Octy helped clear it up.
>If she was going to play sentimentally, so were you.
“That’s great, now, as some of might know, I was in the hospital for the last month and a half. So to celebrate my return, I am dedicating this first song to Anon, for always being there for me during my time of need… this one’s for you dude!”
>The entire room took a moment to look towards Anon and give him a cheer.
>Even from here you could see his blush…he looked so sweet with it on his face!
>You place the track on and spin it up, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnYjGCFk6bg)
>It was a slow starting song, but it quickly sped up and you were moved by the lyrics, even if you didn’t totally understand all of them… (Who was god?)
>But regardless, it went over well with the crowd!
>There were a lot of pairs on the floor dancing their hearts out, and you wanted to join them.
>But dancing alone during this song would be depressing… then you felt a tap on your shoulder.
>Anon was behind you with his hand held out!
>You place your hoof in his hand, already preparing yourself for what came next.
>And like clockwork, he pulls you quickly to center stage and, seemingly oblivious to all the eyes suddenly on you, begins dancing that strange and energetic dance with you.
>It was fun, just as it always had been,
>You had gotten used to the strange dancing style and started pulling a few unique moves of you own.
>By allowing you rear hooves to slide apart, you performed a split.
>You had to admit, it didn't feel all that good on your mare parts, but you got a cheer from the crowd and an amazed/approving look from Anon.
>The two of you danced until the song was over, at which time, you pulled away from him and trotted back to your booth… but not before giving him the bedroom eyes.
>He returned to look, obviously wishing you two could run upstairs right now.
>The Look, it almost never fails!
>You whip out the next track and set it spinning, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_aTbmz7zY)
>You could understand where the colt who sang this song came from… you still had a few dark secrets you kept…
>The crowd seemed to be stunned by the sudden change in tone, but quickly fell in line.
>The grungy feel of the song was what you needed to really get this party started.
>As the song went on, there were a few obnoxious dancers who were being a little too rough.
>But, a quick motion to the bouncers and they were quickly subdued.
>Once the temporary setback was removed, the crowd continued its dance mosh.
>You were having a blast… it was nice to finally get back to what you did best.
>You felt a few pangs of pain from your head, but they were small and manageable.
>As the song came to a close you switched it over to the next one.
> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGJ_-JT8FYA)
>While you were in the hospital, Anon had you listen to this mare named Ke$ha, a pop performer.
>You really like the beats she used and the lyrics were very party based.
>Perfect for your scene!
>The crowd was instantly in love with it.
>Suddenly, the entire club was on their hooves and dancing up a storm.
>You switched off the lights and turned on the blacklights.
>Now this was a party!
>The beat was almost narcotic as it just seemed to attract more and more ponies to the party.
>Fresh batches of ponies drifted into the club, probably heard the music from the outside speakers and were interested in what they heard.
>The part vibe spread like a virus, quickly infecting everypony in earshot to come to the club.
>You had easily attracted more to come inside than had been here on your first night.
>When it came time for the song to end, you decided one more Ke$ha song wouldn’t hurt, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1JXZ1ZXRjw)
>You liked the techno feel to the beat and the lyrics were both funny and endearing at the same time.
>Again, almost as soon as the lyrics started, the crowd seemed to explode with love for it.
>It was not quite as well received as the first song, but everypony was dancing all the same.
>You hopped, on the lower stage and busted a few moves yourself.
>Sadly, Anon was too busy bartending for the new arrivals to dance with you, but you had fun nonetheless.
>It went on like this until the song ended.
>You were having an insane amount of fun… you had really missed this, the lights, the music, and the crowd cheering for you to play the next song.
>This next song you had planned was a slow song, meant to calm everypony down so they can party longer without getting too tired.
> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO-yI67XbLU)
>Another song played to you by Anon in the hospital, it was a sweet song that made you feel loved.
>You didn’t really like this mares other music, but this song was incredible.
>It took the crowd a moment to realize this song was a slow love song, but soon there was nothing but pairs on the dance floor.
>You saw Anon work his way towards your booth, probably to dance with you again.
>You were right, he held out his hand to you and you took it.
>He slowly danced with you, spinning you around a few times and letting you dip until you almost touched the ground then pulling you back up.
>You always knew he had some dancing tricks up his sleeves he was holding in reserve.
>He was letting it all hang out now.
>He was using every move he could feasibly pull off with you right now.
>And you loved it.
>The song only seemed to amplify just how intense this was for you.
>You could see in Anon’s eyes the love he had for you, plain as the sun Celestia put in the sky each day and the moon and stars Luna placed each night.
>The two of you danced until the song ended, just you and him… dancing in your own little world.
>When he was done, he pulled you up for a quick kiss and placed you on all fours again.
>With a few catcalls from the massive amount of ponies behind you, you made your way to the booth in ecstasy from the moment you just shared.
>You shakily put on the next song, a classic you loved to play, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbgJ9mokZo8)
>It was a crowd favorite, and a lot of those in attendance started shouting affirmatives as soon as they heard the beginning.
>You wanted to make sure you covered all the bases tonight.
>Either everypony would leave pleased, or nopony would.
>It seemed like it was an everypony kind of night.
>You pounded the beat out, letting it hit the dancing ponies like a wall of sound.
>You were developing a headache, but you only had 2 more songs to do then you were done for the night.
>You were going to do one more slow song, something thought provoking.
>You went with a song about a bad breakup (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fBr6aUrSeg)
>You hoped it would reach your rambunctious crowd.
>And it did!
>Everypony was dancing, but you could see their faces contorted as they pondered the true meaning of the lyrics.
>You saw Anon at the bar with his smirk, he had probably figured out what you were doing.
>He was pretty sharp for a bartender.
>You let the song play out, occasionally tweaking the levels a little bit.
>You didn’t want to mess with it too much, as the extra effort made your head hurt worse.
>It was getting pretty bad, but you only had to grit your teeth through one more song.
>As the song came to an end, you place the final track on and gave an announcement.
“It’s been absolutely amazing playing for you tonight! I hope you had as much fun as I did so let’s enjoy this final song and jam together!”
>You got an almost deafening roar in response and played the song.
> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=570tFRoRR0A)
>You loved this song!
>It was so bouncy and full of party spirit, it just HAD to be played!
>Things were going swimmingly… until you saw it.
>The ponies at the bar were doing as the song said and were raising their glass.
>And spilling most of their drinks at the same time.
>It happened almost in slow motion…
>Anon slipped and hit the drink cabinet.
>He fell to the ground and the cabinet followed.
>Without thinking, in the splitest of seconds, you levitated the huge cabinet and threw it away from Anon.
>Then came the most intense pain you ever experienced in your life.
>Just before your mind shut down from the pain overload, you saw Anon rise to his feet… unharmed.
>Thank Celestia!
>Then, the darkness took hold of you, a deep, and all-consuming darkness that had never known the light of day.
