Trotting through the campus of "Las Pegasus Musical Academy" his saddle bag bouncing on his sides,” Wow!! This place looks amazing! Cant wait to play some major tracks!” He chuckled happily as he began to trot with a bit of a skip in his step.
This excited pony’s name is DJ, he’s an amateur DJ. He places small gigs at multiple places such as, Club Pony, Pony Rock, and he even did a recording session with Neon Lights! Neon is a well-known pony through the music industry. After the single he did with DJ, Neon Lights was impressed and gave DJ a 100,000 bits scholarship. Of course DJ was completely ecstatic.
He pulled out a slip of paper with his magic and brought it to his face. He lifted his glasses up and peered at the room number written on the piece of paper,” Let’s see…my room number is…241…Rock on!” He put the paper back in his bag and trotted off towards what he thought was the stallion’s dorm rooms, but instead was the cafeteria.
He busted into the door,” AWWW YEAH!!!” He got a few strange glances from several ponies and furious lunch ladies. When he slammed the doors open that had caused them to spill the 2 week old pea soup they were going to serve for Monday’s Special. He looked around at the large room,” Hey wait a minute this isn’t the dorm room. It looks more like a cafeteria.”
“What gave you that idea?” A female voice said angrily.
“Well… the tables, um...the food! The trays, the angry lunch ladies who hate their jobs-“
“ I WAS BEING RHETORICAL!!” The female was now in his view, along with the barbeque sauce that was in her mane and the pea soup all over her face,” By the way! You owe me 20 bits!”
“For what????” He said astonished at the pony’s sudden ask for a ridiculous amount of money.
“You spilled my lunch!!! Why would they let a clumsy pony like you in this school?!”
“Cause I’m AWESOME!!!” He said striking an obnoxious pose.
“You!!!” She flared her nostrils furiously,” COME WITH ME.”
“Ohhh? You wanna piece of the great DJ huh? Sorry toots, but dinner and movie first.”
She bit his tail and started dragging him out of the cafeteria.
“HEY?! Where we going?” He asked confused,” There’s fooooddddd.” He could stop her but he found her dragging him to be hilarious.
“To the dean’s office!!! To get you expelled!”
“EXPELLED?!” He yanked his tail from the upset pony’s mouth, “I can’t get expelled!!! My bro just got me this scholarship!”
“Your bro?” She asked.
“Yeah, my homedog, homie, friend, pal. I promised him that when I graduated, that I would be the best DJ pony in the world!!! Well I mean better then I already am cause obviously I am.”
“No you are not, Neon Lights is.” She stated sternly.
DJ lifted his purple tinted glasses. He finally got a good look at the fair mare. She wasn’t anything to sneeze at, she was HOT. Her black mane was flowing from the top of her head, and went over her shoulder, her tail just as long but it looked like it was raising itself up. Her violet eyes were staring at him angrily but they still twinkled just a smidge. He then noticed her clef note cutie mark,” YOU know something about Neon Lights?”
“Of course. He’s an important client of my father’s.”
“What’s your name girlie?”
“Octavia the third!” She said proudly.
“Hmmm…how about Octi for short?”
“HEY! Only my friends can nick name me.”
“We’re friends aren’t we?” He said smiling goofily
“Friends?! We are not even acquaintances. I don’t know even know your name!!”
“Well my name’s DJ! Now you know the greatest DJ. No no, I don’t do autographs. Okay maybe just one.” He said smiling smugly.
She faced hooved,” You are hopelessly lost. Aren’t you?” She had been thinking about it in the back of her head. A random pony busting into the room and thinking that this was his dorm room was very odd. She didn’t know who this pony was but there was the possibility that he was important. So she wasn’t going to miss out on the opportunity to help him out.
He looked down at the ground in despair, “Yes….i lost my way right when I got here…”
She sighed heavily,” Come on. I’ll help you find your dorm room.”
He looked up at her confused,” Wait a minute. Just a few minutes ago you were going to drag me to the dean’s office. Now you’re going to help me?”
“I have to admit that dragging you by the tail was a bit rude and out of character for me. I do apologize.” She sounded sincere but there was a bit of malice in her words but DJ didn’t notice.
“It’s fine,” He said laughing a bit,” I’m sorry for spilling your pea soup and….BBQ sauce? What would you do with those-“
“Let’s get moving shall we? The male dorms are on the other side of campus.”
He groaned loudly,” THE OTHER SIDE!!!!?” He had already walked to one side of the campus, now he had to walk to the other side. Which meant he was going to walk twice the amount he already had.
“Yes, this is the female side of the campus.”
“Oh….” He blushed hard which was easily noticeable on his white coat,” Well let’s get out of here before I really do get expelled!” He said starting to trot off.
“It’s the other way.”
“Pfft. I knew that.” He turned around and started walking in the right direction.
Octavia trotted up next to him,” So DJ was it? How did you end up on this side of the campus?”
“I just told you. I got lost. I’m really bad with directions.” He said pulling a piece of paper out of his bag with his magic and showed Octavia where he was staying,” See it says I need to be in the dorm house: Rocket and my room number is 241”
“241? Oh so you’ll be staying with Lightning Bolt.”
“Lightning Bolt huh? Sounds like this guy knows how to PARTY!!!”
“Well he is a strange pony, he keeps going on about how he’s a time lord and an alien. None of it makes any sense to me. Aliens? Time Lords? It’s all a bunch of-“
“AWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I have an alien as a roommate!!!” DJ said trotting in place.
“You do realize he is probably lying? OR he’s a quack.”
“A duck?”
“Never-mind.” Octavia led DJ across the border line of the campus. She was now in stallion territory.
“Wow!!!” he said looking around at the large campus.
She waved a hoof in front of her snout,” ughh…this campus smells AWFUL!! It reeks of sweat and musk.”
He sniffed at the air,” NOPE!!! That’s the smell of sweaty jerseys!!!”
She gave him a quizzical look, “Jerseys? Never mind…” She began to walk towards large houses that looked like apartment complexes. “Okay…let’s see…Jersey dorm…Stallion dorm...Ah! Here we are the rocket dorms.”
“Hmm…it doesn’t look like a space ship to me!” DJ said upset.
“Well each dorm states how you got into the college. For instance. Those who got in to do acting, got in along with the help of their good looks. So they would be in the Stallion Dorm. Or those who got here on a sports scholarship, they would be in the jersey dorm. As for the rocket dorms, I believe it’s for outstanding students with amazing talents.”
“Well only seems right that I was placed in the Rocket dorms then.” He said smugly.
“The only thing outstanding about you is your stench. You should take a shower when you get to your dorm.” She led him in to the rocket dorm, they went up to the second floor.
“Okay.” Octavia said as she began to pass the rooms. There was music coming from every room, they varied from, Hip Hop, Rock, Jazz, Opera you name it! There wasn’t one music genre that neither Octavia nor DJ couldn’t name. “239…240…241! Ah here it is.”
“Hey! Awesome thanks octi!” He said giving her a hug.
She pushed him away,” For the last time it is OCTAVIA. I hope you have a good stay.” With a flick of her tail she trotted away.
“That girl is something.”
He busted into his room,” AWWWW YEAH!!! MY NAME’S DJ AND IM YO-“He looked inside of the room and spotted what seemed to be his roommate.
Except his roommate was talking to a police box that seemed to be disappearing.
“Thank you doctor! That tea was spot on!” The white pony said. He smiled and turned around to see an astonished pony looking straight at him,” Oh…um hello there. My name’s Lighting Bolt! It’s a pleasure-“
“You’re….you’re..an alien….”
“Yes well… you weren’t supposed to see that. Well there’s no point in hiding it anymore. I am an alien, a timelord in fact on his second regeneration I might add. Got shot in the chest with an arrow it hurt something fierce. Anywho enough about me what’s your name?”
“YOU’RE AN ALIEN!!”
“ Yes we’ve gone-“
“AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!” DJ shouted as he hopped around the room,” THAT IS AMAZING!!”
“ Well I suppose it is.” Lightning Bolt said rubbing the back of his head brushing his brown mane slightly.
“My name’s DJ!” He said coming to a stop in front of the pony. The inquisitive pony looked at the time lord pony’s flank,” Blank? But...you’re a full grown pony.”
“Well I don’t have my cutie mark, due to my recent regeneration, which the physics of is way to complicated to go into, so I gathered that if I went to college I could find it out there…err here!” He said feeling that his plan was full proof.
DJ went over to his room inside of the room, it was really big! It surprised him that it was bigger on the inside,” Wow. I didn’t think that these rooms were that big.”
“Well they are. I was surprised as well. I thought I was in the doctor’s tardis again.”
DJ shrugged and yawned loudly,” Well… im beat. I’m gonna hit the hay.” With that last remark the tired unicorn laid sprawled out on his bed passing out in an instant leaving his new roommate a bit confused.
Just the description forces questions into my mind.
1. Is DJ one of your OCs? If not, and Vinyl somehow got turned into a stallion, how did she change genders?
2. How did an ALIEN get into Equestria? Scratch that, how did the alien get accepted into the school anyway?
Please make sure you answer those questions somewhere in the description. e.e It leaves readers confused.

Okay these are fair questions. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. To answer your question about DJ. The tag in my story is Alternate universe. That means in an Alternate Universe Vinyl Scratch is a male and goes by a different name. As for the alien, that is the point. He is suppose to confuse you. You have to wonder WHY is an alien in a musical college. HOW did he get accepted. Those are the questions i wanted readers to ask.
the basics of writing.
suspension of disbelief.
You need to understand what you as a writer can get away with. A writer has to coax and suggest and show.
NEVER TELL.
do you want to hear...
"oh hey you know that well known female character vinyl? yeah she has a penis. deal with it."
or hear.
"In an alternate universe to canon, vinyl scratch is a stallion."

I see what you are saying thank you for the advice.
2437592 And those are fair answers. ^^ But what confuses me now is what alternate universe there is. You still call the city Las Pegasus, but wouldn't it be called something different if it was an alternate universe?~
Don't care how the alien got in quit bitching about it but anyways loved this chapter this guy's sounds like me! stuck with a wierd roommate and ended up on the female side of the building it was awesome
2438794
Okay. Again another fair question.
Well. If you want to go into the physics of what kinda alternate universes there are, there are all sorts! In this universe the only thing different thing is that Vinyl Scratch is a stallion. It could be that in another universe that Octavia is the stallion. Or bigmacintosh is king over all of equestria. You never know what could happen in an alternate universe.

Awesome. Thanks alot for the positive comments coldrunner! Dont worry there will be more :D.
Yay more me and my alternet univers brother (not really me but it describes me!)
2452654
Well...okay :D
I an glad you feel close to one of the characters. That makes me more motivated to write the next chapter. Even better.
Ok
One one the things that I love about writing is that, as long as it makes sense in the context of the story, anything goes. DJ makes sense in the context, and so does the whole alien bit (although it makes even more sense if you watch Dr. Who). The characters are fun, enjoyable and relatable. I like it!
Here, have a mustache for your efforts!
(It says I'm spelling relatable wrong. Relatable is a word and I am spelling it correctly!)

Well thank you so much for your positive impute! I did put the doctor in the story for a reason. *chuckles* Oh i have a reason~.
Any way. Thank you for reading my story hope you enjoy the next chapters to come.
