[Ponyville] Starstruck Summerboy [Dubstep + PM to join]

[Neon Pop]

·.·• Neon Pop •·.·

After a long while since the Grand Galoping Gala, there was one thing that Neon couldn't shake from her mind. Well, somepony to be exact. Dubstep was there, and though she saw and spoke with him, their time was brief, and ponirazzi seemed to swarm her and just about ruined her night. Already she was tired and it didn't take her long to just get up and leave without giving him an idea where she went off to. She felt bad, that was for sure, not just for leaving but missing out on a good chance to really get to know the stallion. Since the Gala, Neon found herself busy with her work, writing and composing songs, recording, getting little to no sleep, making interviews, getting her face plastered on Pony Weekly, tabloids that loved to point out all her flaws, it left little to no time at all to deal with a personal life.

Eventually, however, it was today that Neon huffed and stompped her hoof down, telling her manager that today was the a day for herself! Glad she finally took the time to stand up for her own sanity, Neon made her way through Ponyville as she had done several times before that, smiling, putting on a show for her fans (in that she didn't let it be known how tired she was) and ate at her favorite place, went to the record store, signed more autographs, did some shopping, signed more autographs, and eventually... started ducking and hidding to get away from everything and everypony!

Why couldn't she just be left alone?! When she was out of the town and slowly walking in the grass that lead up to the river, she looked behind her and sighed. Sure this was a life she had always wanted, but a vacation would be nice now and then too. Her ears lowered as she slowed her pace, feeling a bit more relaxed now that she was out of all the husstle and bussle of the town, and once the sound of the river filled her ears, there she stopped, and parked her tiny hinny. The air felt cooler near the water, and the grass sure felt softer, smelled wonderful too, and in moments, Neon Pop found herself falling to her side in a heap of relaxation, stretching all on her back and taking a deep breath of the freash air.

Perhaps a day in town was not what she needed, but a day in nature was.

[Dubstep]

Dubstep lounged in his tent in the afternoon sun, soaking up the rays that peered through the roof; surrounded by boxes of his stuff, Dub couldn't take his mind of The Gala, it was done a few weeks ago, and it's not the event that was on his mind, but somepony there. And not just any somepony, The Great Princess of Pop, Neon Pop. The time that they got to speak was brief, thanks to the ever troublesome Ponirazzi. But the feeling was lasting forever, and the DJ liked it.

Sitting up, Dub stared out the tent's door to the river, he couldn't help but wonder, was Neon thinking about him like he was her? With a sigh, Dubstep picked up Lucy, his orange acoustic and stepped out of sitting down by the bank of the river, listening to the babbling flow and sounds of nature, it helped clear his mind. Strumming out a bit, Dub sang out a tune "♪I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions, I never give, that keep me searching for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.♫" the music rang out down the river, filling the air with its melodic tones. He didn't care if anyone heard him playing, it was just enough to play.

Comfort, quiet, a cool breeze brushing over her as the grass made a perfect bed for her. Neon rolled onto her side and laid her head upon her front legs, closing those large orange eyes of hers and sighing. The sunlight felt so good on her pelt, like it could give her whole new and boundless energy. This was the day she missed, just time to herself and away from everything. Such a moment let her mind finally collect itself, to think on what it wanted it to, instead of what she NEEDED to. With flashes of the past weeks rapidly shooting through her mind, such images stopped on that bright yellow pony, which she only got to meet for a short moment.

Neon hear of him, his music, they even did a few songs together per their managers arrangement, but so little time to get to know one another when music and lyrics were all you could worry about. Either way, Neon blushed every time she thought of him, so that had to mean something right? After all, he was a talented stallion, she loved his music, and would love to see him in show. "Oh I'm being silly..." She said to herself as she placed her hoof to her muzzle and shook her head. It was almost embarassing. She hardly knew the pony!

Though soon her ears perked, and eye shot open as she lifted her head from the grass. Music? Out here? Interesting indeed, but what was more interesting, was the voice that followed. "Dubstep? No... couldn't be..." With that, Neon Pop got to her long legs and shook a bit, trotting quietly as she follwed the sound of the music. It was just past a few trees, but soon Neon found herself facing the back of a tent, and curious as it was to see it out here, Dubstep sitting there playing his gutiar was more so curious! She stopped just around the corner of the tent, watching him as he played, eyes wide and baffled. Maybe he was just camping? After all, everypony deserved a break.

There was a small clearing of her throat, just enough to get his attention, and she stepped one hoof forward, though still mostly hiding behind his tent. "Dub...?" She asked sweetly and softly.

[Dubstep]

As Dub continued on playing his song, he hadn't noticed that a familiar face was listening in, watching him from just around his tent, "♪I've been to Trottingham I've been to Canterlot. I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold. I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line, that keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old.♫" whistling along with his guitar as he strummed along, his thoughts once more drifted to Neon, her beautiful voice, lovely mane, and her eyes. Oh how he loved her eyes, sparkling and captivating. But the nagging part of Dub's mind stabbed at him, causing him to wonder if she'd even think of him as anything more than a musical collaborator, why would she? Neon Pop was on a whole other level than him, she had global stardom, could have anypony she wanted, her name in lights wherever she went. Dubstep was just a kid from Fillydelphia who can make a song or two. At least in his mind.

Dub's thoughts, however, were cut short at the sound of a small cough, which was followed by a familiar and lovely voice, "N-Neon?" the DJ asked in surprise at the sight of the Pop Princess herself, "W-what are you doing all the way out here?" not that Dub minded, obviously, but it was a surprise to actually be able to see her somewhere, not surrounded by swarming fans or ponirazzi or any of the ilk. With a smile, Dubstep stood up and levitated his guitar back inside of his tent as he walked over, "Never expected to see you coming by my place heheh. What brings you to the river today hmm?"

There was a moment that Neon raised her brow and lifted her head high enough that it made her stick her chest out. 'His place'? Surely he didn't live out here...? Her ears lowered against her head only for a moment before she beamed her smile up at him. "I... I was just trying to take a break from everything." She said honestly as she stepped out from behind the tent, adverting her eyes to other places around Dubstep. "I was actually laying over there when I heard you playing your guitar. I didn't know you played anything but the turntable!" She giggled and now placed her eyes upon him.

"I hope I'm not interrupting? If I am, I can just go back that a-way." She didn't want to intrude too much on what he was doing, besides, if he was out here camping to relax, then maybe it was best to ask if she was bothering him. After all , Neon was not about to believe that he lived out here in a tent!

[Dubstep]

Dub smiled as Neon stepped out from behind the tent; ever since their first meeting, even the though of her could bring a smile to Dub's face, "Ahh, groovy." the DJ said with a nod, "Getting some R&R does a pony good, right?" stepping closer, Dub couldn't help but grin when his eyes met hers, her beautiful eyes felt like they could see to his very soul, "Oh yeah, my dad taught me a little bit of anything and everything heh, he's great. I guess I'm a 'Jack of All Trades' when it comes to instruments." he said with a chuckle; while it was true his dad taught him a lot, his greatest talents were in his job, the skills as a DJ are what earned him his mark after all.

"No no no, you're not interrupting anything at all! I was just messin around with Lucy a bit. Had her since I was a foal heheh. Man, if I knew I would'a had guests today I'd have made some room for you to come in." Dub stated as he glanced over at the tent, it was easily large enough to fit two or three ponies, but with all the stuff he had in there, it was a tight squeeze for him at time, "Place is such a mess...I mean, it's always a mess but yeah. Sometimes it's less of a mess than others. And other times it is...Oh Celestia I'm rambling again, I'm sorry." he said embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his neck; he had a tendency to do that when he was nervous, and every time he got to speak with Neon, he was a bundle of nerves, "But uhh if you want, I can move a few boxes around and make a place for you to sit? That's if you want to...Though you may not want to, I mean, it's just a tent after all and I'm sure you prefer like, actually furniture to like, the ground, not that the ground is all bad. I need to shut up. Would you like me to clear you a seat?" he asked with a shy smile, silently praying that she'd stay and not think bad of him for being such a goof.

Neon blinked several times as she listened to Dubstep ramble on and on. Sure he was making sence, but he seemed to be nervous? No... he was like this even when they collaborated those few songs together. Either way, it was charming, and still she smiled sweetly at him, letting him know quietly she was listening. She pressed the side of her hoof against her other long leg and rubbed slightly, a nervous twitch from her as well. Subtle though, which was the good part about it. Neon's orange eyes moved to the tent as he spoke, and soon widened as he made it well clear it was his home! No, no, no! Thats just terrible! A great DJ like him didn't need to be sleeping in a tent! At least a nice comfortable bed! For some reason, Neon Pop felt like she had to remedy this, but bringing it up might have pressed a button, so waiting on mentioning moving...? Well, she'd save that for later!

Neon took a few steps away and peered inside, looking around, a mess? So what? Her home wasn't exactly clean all the time either. In fact, Alejandro would often make it clear when he got sick of the mess, usually by slapping his large tail on her mess of lyrics she'd wrote on papers. "Dubstep, its charming!" Well she wasn't going to LIE! After all, even if she lived in a large home, three storys with her own recording studio, and a large pool, her 'instrument room'... and large shimmering glass front doors, a small and quiet place was welcoming at times.

Neon pulled her head out and looked to her friend, and yet she'd love to sit in there with him, she rather walk around and get to know the stallion, now that they were really alone. "Not that I have anything against laying or sitting on the ground~" She teased him a bit for his words and assumptions, bumping her shoulder against his playfully, "I think I could go for a brisk walk along this river! Its a great day out, and I haven't had time to enjoy a day like this in weeks! Would you mind joining me?"

[Dubstep]

Dub smiled brightly once more as Neon complimented his 'home', it wasn't anything much, but coming from her of all ponies, it meant the world, "Heh, thanks! It's not too bad, I mean, the sound of the river's nice and it's quiet and not too many ponies come out...Not that I mind ponies coming out, I like talking with them, it's just, nice to have time to myself...Not that it's bad that you're here and I...Oh bogus I'm doing it again, sorry....Yeah, I keep meaning to check town, see what kinda places are for sale but it always slips my mind until it's like, late at night and I can't check anything out. Most of my gear's still at home back in Filly-D since I couldn't schlep it all heh."

Dubstep blushed lightly from Neon's teasing, "Yeah!" he exclaimed happily before clearing his throat, "I mean, yeah, I love you I MEAN I'D LOVE TO! A walk, yeah, th-that sounds great!" the yellow pony stammered, flush bright red with embarrassment, 'Oh man, did I just say that? Oh she's gonna be mad, or think I'm weird, or both, or explode at me! Twice! Oh Dub why can't you keep your pie hole shut?!' he thought to himself as he sweat a little bit, staring at the ground nervously.
