Wub wub wub in the club {Open}

[Deleted]

Neon Lights kept his head down, his glasses sitting in his hooves. "Hey." Neon stayed silent. "MC!" Neon slowly looked up, seeing his manager. "MC, if you don't get onstage, there's going to be a riot, and, I'm going to lay you off! You're not quitting another show!" He stormed off, leaving Neon alone.

Neon exhaled deeply, getting out of his seat. Well, this was it. Neon slowly put on his glasses, and looked in the mirror. See ya Neon! Get out of the way! MC W1SH is coming through! W1SH grinned, running a hoof through his mane. He was pumped, he was ready, he was revving to go! Get on that stage!

W1SH hopped out onstage, grinning at the instant applause. He took the mic. "How ya ponies doing tonight?! W1SH grinned as the crowd went nuts. "Well then, let's make it the entire club by the end of the night!" W1SH got to the scratch table, grinning. This was going to be awesome!

~~~~

"Well, I'm gonna take a break, but I leave you in capable hooves! See ya!" W1SH hopped off stage, mingling in the crowd. He nodded to a few ponies, before making it to the bar, and ordering a drink.

[Deleted]

The face behind the bar was a new one, and a cute face at that- large emerald green eyes sparkled at him when he placed his order- and her approving, crooked grin was probably a big part of the reason the tip jar on the counter was almost full, though it was still fairly early in the evening. Of course, the skill and care with which she put drinks together probably had just as much to do with it.

Somewhere in the backroom, Woozi had left the real bartender, locked in with the wines. It hadn't been her fault, surely- She'd seen the way he stored the wines while on a delivery last week, and had decided that when she came to this party tonight, she'd see that he spent some quality time with the bottles, to gain a healthier respect for the grape. But someone had to tend the bar, right? It was all part of the plan...

Thinking of this as she mixed W1SH's drink, the unicorn mare giggled. She added an extra splash to the drink- to improve the taste and increase the effect. Most bartenders 'mixed cheap' that is, put in more of the cheaper ingredients to save money on the expensive ones- But Woozi considered herself an artist, a master maker of drinks, even to those ponies already too inebriated to tell the difference. She floated the glass over to W1SH and set it down without spilling a drop.

[Deleted]

W1SH took the drink, and after one sip, he knew this wasn't the normal bartender for this place. No. This drink had way too much flavor! It wasn't hogwash that made your skin crawl. It was much better. So, he rested his hoof on the bar, lowering his glasses at the new bartender. "Well, I was just thinking to myself, the old bartender was a stallion whose alcohol tasted like it came out of the floorboards of his shed, while this new one is a gorgeous mare whose alcohol is the best I've ever had. Now, how did something like that happen?"

W1SH gave a smile, even tipping her several bits. After a night of DJ'ing, it was always nice to get drunk off of something that was actually good. Besides, W1SH also thought she was quite the looked. The Neon side of himself was reminding him of Sweetheart. W1SH chose to ignore that side right now. He wasn't planning anything, just appreciating something good.

[Vinyl Scratch]

Now this was...interesting. Vinyl had been standing across the road from a nightclub for the past forever. She had been eyeing it, wondering whether she was actually going to do this. It seemed like it would be pretty awesome. Still, she typically didn't crash parties unless she thought the occupants would be happy for her arrival. That usually meant not showing up the DJ.

This DJ was different though. She knew Neon. He was....not her favorite person. She didn't have some giant story with exaggerated climaxes about how they had a mixing battle that he cheated at or a dramatic story about bullying. Instead she just didn't like the guy. He grated on her nerves. She just didn't get along with him. It was hard to explain. She felt pretty challenged by him. He put her goal of being the best DJ ever in danger.

She was doing it. Vinyl ran in and yelled out: "Heeelllllllllooo!" She smiled, this might actually turn out to be fun. She made her way through the crowd high hoofing ponies and saying: "Yep, DJ-P0n3 in the house, yep, yes, everything you've heard is true." she eventually made her way to the bar. "ORDER UUUUUUUUUUUP! One....ummmm....Get me something tasty!" she cried out, not exactly sure what she wanted.

"I want something with a zing that won't make me too out of it, ya know?" she explained, waving one of her hooves in the air. "Maybe with a tangy tas-...WOOZI?!?!" she yelled out, her eyes widening. Of course no one could see, courtesy of her trademark shades. She hadn't seen Woozi since that time in...well, this wasn't the place for being sentimental. This was a place for partying and boy, this mare right here knew how. Vinyl continued to ignore Neon Lights for the moment. Yes, she had noticed him, but she wasn't going to make a scene out of it...yet.

"How's it going long hair?!" she continued, "I've need one of your drinks for soooooooooo long! Where've you been?!?" she shook her hair from side to side to clear her view. "I just heard the music stop and was thinking I would come here and...ya know, show up some sucker MC's" No one in particular of course. She just was making small talk "Oh, hey Neon...how are you?" she added on...had to include him at some point right? "Haven't seen you around for a good while. How have you been dude?"

[Deleted]

"Well, I was just thinking to myself, the old bartender was a stallion whose alcohol tasted like it came out of the floorboards of his shed, while this new one is a gorgeous mare whose alcohol is the best I've ever had. Now, how did something like that happen?"

Woozi's grin widened and, after mixing up a pair of fruity cocktails for two party-going mares, she came back to lean on her side of the bar and smile mysteriously."Well," Woozi replied, amusement rich in her tone, "A good 'tender never gives away all her secrets, but I'll admit that it involves a good strong door and a bottle of Stalliongrad's finest..."

"ORDER UUUUUUUUUUUP! One....ummmm....Get me something tasty! I want something with a zing that won't make me too out of it, ya know?" Said a familiar voice, carrying over the noise of the party.Too familiar! Woozi nearly jumped with the shock of recognition, but the voice went on, a bit longer- "Maybe with a tangy tas-...WOOZI?!?!"

"VINYL!!!" Woozi yelled back. "It's been forever and a day! Seriously! I went on an Equestrian tour for new ingredients after I got in trouble for that Purple Drank Party! Tried to write but got my postcards sent back. Said you'd been kicked out, no forwarding address! Woulda been worried but I kept hearing legends of your parties! Lately, I've been looking for new land to buy after the old farm got the axe. Did ya hear about that? Hahaha! They tell me it blew up like a cannon. Wish I coulda seen it!" Woozi laughed like it was no big deal, but the watchful eye she kept on the tip jar and the charming way she had with all the customers suddenly had a lot more meaning.

[Deleted]

And then, the one pony he had hoped he wouldn't run into... Vinyl Scratch... Neon sighed, putting on a smile. "Hey, Vinyl, good to see you too." It probably sounded forced to say that. Probably because it was forced. This wasn't exactly the first time DJ Pon3 had decided to crash one of his shows. Probably wouldn't be the last either.

Neon decided to turn his attention back to the bartender, whose name appeared to be Woozi. "Your old farm blew up?"

[/color] He couldn't help but crack up at the image of a farm exploding. Still, he had a show to run, and he had already surprisingly emptied his glass. He reached in his pockets, and threw some bits into the tip jar, winking at Woozi, before slipping back into the crowd.[/font][/blockquote]

[Vinyl Scratch]

"You don't sound all too happy ya know?" she yelled towards Neon as he walked off. She then turned to Woozi again. with a SUPER excited face. She had missed Woozi sooooooooo much. She could only imagine what would happen now. She knew it would be awesome though! Especially when they were already at a party together.

Sure, they didn't have any of Woozi's super special drinks but Vinyl knew Woozi could handle herself pretty well at any bar and this bar wasn't too awful to begin with. "And...yeah, lost my crib. I had only had it for...like...two months anyways. I thought I could deal with all the shows to keep up payments for it but...dang! I went to bed at nine one night. Waaaay too tired, so I bailed." she said. It wasn't her proudest moment but she knew how to deal with it.

"You lost your farm, Awwwww man!" she lightly hit her hoof against the bar counter. "If you need any help finding a new place I'm totally your mare ya know? I got your back!" She could deal with the loss, she had been saving up her money...well, trying to, while she was staying in hotels and such.

"So...ya know...we are at a party...any idea how to crank this place up a notch?" she said, staring at the D.J.'s Station.

[Deleted]

Woozi couldn't help but grin and wink back when W1SH tipped her a second time for the same drink. Though her story was perfectly true, she might occasionally make it out to be more than it really meant- if just to make ponies open their hearts...and wallets... that much wider. It seemed to work. And it was all for a good cause, after all! Even Vinyl, with as little as she had for herself, was offering to help. Of course, they were good friends and maybe that was to be expected. Maybe. But it still warmed the unicorn's heart.

But then again, Vinyl, or rather DJ P0n3, didn't care for the DJ W1SH, big tipper or not. Well, perhaps that was to be expected too. Both being DJs, they were bound to be rivals, and showing up at the same party, would be bound to step on the other's tail. Following her long-time friend's gaze towards the DJ's Station, she grinned.

"So...ya know...we are at a party...any idea how to crank this place up a notch?"

Woozi's grin widened. She was one step ahead, even now. She finished pouring a round of shots for a loud group on the other side of the bar, and then leaned in towards Vinyl and said, comparatively softly,

"There's no party like a DJ P0n3 party, right? So why not get up there? They wont throw you out as long as the crowd's happy. And that's something you and I can easily manage. Let me just talk it over with our friend W1SH~" Woozi finished, with a mischievous smirk. And then, only waiting long enough to stash the tip jar somewhere safe, she hopped the bar and dived into the crowd, seeking the retreating DJ.

[Deleted]

MC W1SH made his way through the partying ponies, eventually getting to the stage's stairs, and taking off his glasses, before he was aware that somepony was following him. Neon turned, and sighted Woozi. "O-Oh, Woozi, is there something you need? I was just about to ask who was going up next onstage."

Well, it was half true. He was making sure it wasn't DJ Pon3. He didn't hate her, or have anything major against her. It was just that, sometimes the ponies would come to a party for MC W1SH's new song or remix, and end up leaving talking about the way Pon3 had crashed the party. It made it hard for him to get hype for his new albums. Didn't help his agent was breathing down his neck.

With the way the crowds played it up, he and Vinyl had a strong hatred for each other. Truth was, they were just competing DJ's. They had nothing against the other. At least, that was how Neon saw it. It was hard to pinpoint exactly what went on in that crazed head of Vinyl's.

"By the way, could I get a few of your bottles for the road? That stuff's too good to only drink once."

[Deleted]

"What?!"

The noise from all the ponies around them made it hard to hear. Woozi leaned in close to hear better, looking straight into DJ W1SH's face, her green eyes practically glowing in the dim light."I didn't hear what you said." she added loudly, apologizing. Listening a second time, she seemed to brighten a good deal and nodded when the compliment to her drinks was paid.

"I'd be glad to get you a couple of bottles, and there's something I've absolutely got to ask you!" The unicorn replied, raising her voice over the noise. She looked around a moment, as though checking for, or searching for something, then added, a little softer. "But it's really kind of personal, so could you come with me? I'll get your bottles while we talk- it wont take more than a minute." The unicorn gave the DJ a hopeful smile that would have put any adoring fan to shame, then headed towards a door that led off somewhere, looking back to see if he was coming.

[Deleted]

Neon Lights glanced back at the stage, touching his glasses with a hoof. He sighed in defeat, and followed the mare. He was worried if he left the stage for too long Pon3 would get up there... Actually, it was almost inevitable that she would. He'd think of something to stop her from stealing his show. Even if it meant getting onstage at the same time as her.

But, Woozi was waiting, so he stepped through the door with the mare. "You said you wanted to ask me something?" He wondered if she'd noticed the change from W1SH to Neon.

[Deleted]

The wine cellar, for that was the room that Woozi had led him to, had a short, somewhat narrow flight of steps headed down, and the unicorn mare let him lead the way, rather than having them risk tripping each other up. It was cool, without being cold, and fairly well lit without allowing the light to spoil any of the alcohol. It was also, not surprisingly, very well stocked. Brandy and Whiskey, Vodka and Champagne, oh my! Wine too, of course. Just about everything a party (or a bar) needed! It had clearly been stocked recently.

"You said you wanted to ask me something?"

To the DJ's surprise, perhaps, the only response was the slamming of the cellar door from above, followed by a muffled giggle and the click of the lock. This wine cellar, like most, was only lockable from the outside! "Sorry!" Woozi called from the other side, "I'll let you out later when the party's over, I promise! Meanwhile, make yourself comfortable!" Woozi turned away from the door and made her way over to Vinyl Scratch, immensely pleased with herself. "It's all arranged,"she explained to her friend. "You can take the stage whenever you want!"

[Deleted]

Neon's expression turned hostile, and he put on his glasses. NOPONY WAS STEALING HIS SHOW! Not again! This was not going to happen! Neon galloped to the door and slammed his hooves repeatedly on it. "HEY! VINYL SCRATCH! WOOZI! BUCK YOU BOTH!" W1SH growled to himself, running back into the cellar. There had to be some other way out.

W1SH moved aside shelves, and rummaged through everything. He couldn't explain how angry he was. It was burning hatred. He probably didn't hate Vinyl, but he seriously wanted to kick her out on her flank without a second glance. Suddenly, he found a tool box. Heh, it was exactly what he needed. W1SH pulled out a screwdriver, ran over to the door, and set to work unscrewing it from the wall.

[Vinyl Scratch]

Vinyl smiled as she watch Woozi walk off with Neon Lights. that'a girl woozi." The DJ thought. Vinyl knew Woozi was quite the beautiful mare. Better that that though was the fact that Woozi knew how to use it to her advantage. It made Woozi a much funner mare to be around. It also made luring of Neon as simple as dangling prime rib in front of a dog. She had to force herself to keep form laughing until the two got out of earshot, which in a club wasn't to awfully far, but this was going to be hilarious!...and for the record, if she had been up on that stage earshot would be even shorter.

Giggling on her way to the stage, she heard Woozi shout out the all clear sign and quickly sprinted the rest of the way and jumped up onto the stage. This wasn't her usual gear, but since this was rather impromptu she would be mostly cutting and scratching anyways. Once in stage she made sure her shades were positioned correctly and cleared her throat before stopping the music with that oh so known record sound.

"Hey guys, this is the one and only DJ-P0n3 here, Neon is a bit preoccupied not being as awesome as me at the moment so I thought I'd give you a taste of some original on the spot mixes." she paused to let the crowd cheer, call her name, ectetera, "Now this isn't my gear or my songs so there won't be too much wubs but there'll be plenty of epic cut-" she spun the record then did a few cuts, "and wicki-wicki-wicked scratches!" each time she said 'wicki' she did a scratch on the turn table. She was in her element!

"My friend Woozi Boozi can help you get down with some drinks at the bar. Just make sure you can keep yourself off the ground," Vinyl giggled, "ya can't have much fun on the dance floor if ya can't stand after all!"

She took a moment to look out on the crowd. From the outside she might look quite frozen, but its not fear that grips her, only a heightened sense of thi-...nevermind. Vinyl looked at her records and started what she does best! "Lets spin this!Neon would be able to tell when she started from the first note shaking the club and the bottles in it, including the bottles in the room that Neon was stuck in!

The lightshow was a bit off now but Vinyl didnt let that bother her. She was too busy rocking the house! During the middle of a song she kicked in the side chain, surprised that Neon even had it working, and the music got a bit quieter so she could be heard over the crowd "Again, I gotta thank Woozi for hooking this up! It would been way harder without you around Wooz! You naughty little mare you!" she finished with a laugh and winked at Woozi....well, she was wearing her shades so you couldn't see her wink, but Vinyl knew Woozi would feel it.

[Deleted]

Woozi did feel it. When it came to parties, the two of them were perfectly paired. Even the long time they'd been apart hadn't changed that Woozi served up the drinks with more flare than ever, and the tips just poured in! This was going to be a good haul, she was sure! a couple of nights like this one, she thought with glee, and I'll be well on my way towards a down payment!

She did not, however, forget to keep an occasional eye on the cellar door. After the first few poundings and threats and raging, the cellar had gone suspiciously quiet. That worried Woozi, a little. When a pony was raging, at least you knew where he was. After another moment's consideration, she used her magic to pull an empty couch -thanks to Vinyl's efforts, there were lots of these now- across the door. Hah. Try to lock-pick that, She thought confidently, completely unaware that he was, in fact, taking the door off its hinges.

The tip jar was crammed full. Woozi discreetly emptied it into her saddlebags under the counter before setting it up again. Yes, this was going to be an awesome night!
