mylittlejamjar | Second Album [audio]

[At first, there's only silence. Well, relative silence. If you listen closely, you could here a bit of awkward shuffling in the background, with the occasional distant mumble of "Where the heck did I put that thing?" coupled with a lengthy string of colorful and creative curses. Eventually, the background noise subsides. There's a sound of a needle hitting a record and...]

[Music. Well, for a certain value of the term, anyhow. The audio quality's fairly subpar, like somebody dragged the record player out of the trash, and the recording pops and skips in places where it probably shouldn't. As the song ends and the music fades away, a voice- raspy and lightly accented- cuts in.]

Gooood afternoon, Ponyville, this is the one and only DJ Pon-3 comin' at ya loud and proud from our own little patch'a heaven, our home away from home! It's three to the PM at the top'a the hour, a let me tell ya it is a scorcher out there today. Looks like the Big C's got it out for us today, eh listeners? But, lucky for all of you, we here at the studio are dedicated to providing you with quality entertainment. We're gonna be bringin' you the hits, all day, everyday, whether you like it or not!

So, if y'all got any request, shout-outs, call-outs, knock-outs, drop-outs, smoke-outs, workouts, or you just plain wanna make yourself heard, you go ahead and give us a holler. Remember, Ponyville, we're here for you.

Now, without further adue, this next track's from the Pony of Pop herself, Sapphire Shores, and in this humble DJ's opinion, it definitely stands out against her more recent work. Enjoy.

[Wait... what?]

...Allow Trixie to understand if she is hearing this correctly: You insult Trixie just so she can insult you back with wit?

Now you're catchin' on. We gotta get some banter up in here, some kinda verbal volley.

Are you not seein' the potential in this?

[...Oh no.]

Great. I wasn't aware there was another Zetta in town.

Y'know this is, like, the third time you've mentioned that guy to me.

You sure you don't have any kinda, y'know, preoccupations?

Wh- no! I would never even think-

...

Trixie shall not be playing your insult games.

Suit yourself. We could'a had something here, y'know? Just think about what you're givin' up.

[...Trixie is now convinced that this pony is as crazy as Zetta.]

Why do you even want to be insulted in the first place!?

Look, it's not about me. It's about us, man. You an' me.

I mean, I can understand why you don't wanna get in on this, but I don't think you get where I'm comin' from. I'm not talkin' about insults here, I'm talkin' about banter. S'way different.

Banter is something that happens when you dislike somepony, and therefore something that is considered negative.

Let Trixie rephrase her question: Why do you seek for us to become rivals?

Nah man, not rivals. Don't think I'm ready for that kinda commitment. Just a little casual back an' forth is all I want. 'Cause I'm seein' some potential here, and I don't wanna see it go to waste.

I mean, if it's too much to ask for, sure, I'll stop buggin' ya about it, but you at least gotta understand where I'm comin' from here.

[Trixie's face falls flat.]

...You talk as if we should date. Or... hate-date?

[Trixie just sighs and shakes her head.]

Trixie has never ever heard of something like this before.

Hey hey hey no. No dates, no big commitments, no nothin'. Just a little back and forth between us two.

That's 'cause I've never had to ask for it before. Usually it's just an organic thing, but now I gotta force it.
