There is a place deep within Everfree, away from civilization, that is always lit up brightly of all hours of the day and night, even when Celestia and Luna are at the peak of their performance. It is in all honesty, a loud place, dull whumps and thumps enimate from this place further into Everfree that many dare to go.
Those that do go and follow the lights that guide them in from a road outside everfree will find it is worth the trip.
The Dome looms before everypony who gallops their way down the dirt path, lit by magically infused torches along its sides. The dome is an impressive structure to behold, seemingly constructed by triangular panels of something and curved bars that hold it together. The building itself seems to be stories tall and has several offshot domes that are smaller in size stemming from it. At the enterance is a refurbished-looking moving-cart sort of building. It's the enterance, and outside it stands a line of vary ponies both wearing costumes and not. Some of the ponies have badges of varying design, denoting staff, attendee, or VIP/Guests of Honor. Some even wear outfit for themes of the night within or in specialty rooms such as jungle wear for the tribal dome in the back.
The dome itself glows with pulsing and changing colors, a thick, heavy sound enimating from it, muted by the building itself, illuminating the immidiate area and beyond quite well, scaring off anything that may be less then friendly to everyone.
This is the home and main workspace of Vinyl Scratch, Equestria's premiere pony DJ. She was currently playing PR girl, standing about the enterance and the main area mingling with the guests and other ponies while her apprentice DJs, or Mixtapes, played on stages situated about the main dome and it's minidomes scattered around it.
All were welcome here, but if you were a rabble rouser then Vinyl wasn't scared to give you a bit to chew on.

It was a rare sight to see her on the edge of Everfree forest, but then again, Rainbow Dash was not one for following the norm. Staring into the inky darkness, she brandished her wings. Fear was not going to get the best of her today. The forest was treacherous at best - full of deadly trees and vile bugs - but that also made it the perfect place to test her evasive skills. Her front right hoof brushed the soil, kicking up a miniature dust cloud. No fear, no mercy.
Within seconds, Dash was in the air and hurtling down some kind of path, expertly dodging the nefarious branches and awkwardly placed trees. By no means was flying in the dark an easy feat, but she seemed to be managing it... or at least, she had been. Dash took a dive as a misplaced dodge earned her a thwack on the nose with a hefty branch, landing in a heap a few yards away. A soft groan escaped her.
"That wasn't my plan..." She muttered, fluttering her wings to drag herself off the floor. However, instead of zooming off, she paused, floating. Rainbow Dash was transfixed by the sudden appearance of lights. Well, not exactly sudden, but still a surprise. There weren't supposed to be lights in Everfree. An eyebrow raised at the sight, but being the fearless investigator she was, Dash began to follow the trail further into the forest. It wasn't long before she could hear the low hum of gathered ponies in the distance. "Sounds like a party?"

It was indeed a party! There was almost always a party here, it just mattered who ya knew (or didn't know) and where you decided to get down inside! Vinyl stood at the enterance, shaking hooves, bumping flanks in welcome, and those other kinds of things.

A minute or two later, Dash was bathed in the fluorescent lights of the Dome. Shielding her eyes with a hoof, the pegasus landed on the path, blinking as she tried to adjust to the sudden burst of light. The hum of pony activity was louder than ever - if this was a party, how come she hadn't known about it until now?
"Hey, who's in charge of this thing?" She yelled, trying to be heard over the crowd. There was music in the air, too, which wasn't making things any easier. To be honest, Dash wouldn't have minded a party, if she'd have been aware of one! And no-doubt Pinkie Pie would go crazy on her haunches if Rainbow stayed without her. Getting just a little frustrated, the blue pegasus began to budge her way through. What in Equestria was this for, anyway?

"That would be me Miss. Rainbooma!" Vinyl exclaimed as Rainbow shuffled her way to the front, "Though ye aren't gonna make to many friends pushin' through loik that yeah? Everyone clear some room for th' winged-wonder everypony!" she requested, trotting forward a bit and standing at the start of the line to welcome the brazen little pony.

"Miss Rainbooma."
Well, that was a new one. Maybe she'd have to use it if Rarity ever wanted another fashion show...
Rainbow Dash snapped back into focus as the DJ pony came into view, hearing her call to the crowd. The winged wonder? Definitely! As a grin began to form on her face, Dash flexed her wings, rising to her hind legs to play-punch with the front pair. She had no problem taking the spotlight for a moment!
"So... what's the party for?" She asked, landing and glancing up at the huge dome. Not that she travelled Everfree forest often, but she'd never spotted it before! With all that light and sound, you'd think anypony would be able to find it from a mile away.

As a matter of fact, you could see it from 3.8 miles away, but that was beside the point seeing how far into Everfree it was, "Now who says we gotta 'ave a reason ta party?" Vinyl asked with a laugh and motioned Rainbow Dash over with a hoof, "Ye wanna check this place out? Come on in and les git ye a badge and git ye inside, yeah?" she said with a smile, motioning her into the enterance.

Rainbow Dash grinned. "Sure, I'm up for a party! Got any big names in?" The Pegasus asked, following Vinyl's gestures towards the entrance. It had been a while since Dash had truly chilled out - aerial stunts were thrilling, but that was more training than anything else. The crowd seemed pretty impressive, but she was too blinded by the lights to pick anyone specific out. Surely Pinkie Pie was in here somewhere? Or Twilight being a total introvertive shrew and hiding behind a book? Somepony Dash recognised had to be in here - clearly others knew about this party even if she didn't! [/blockquote]

"Well now aside form moiself oi think we got.... Hm..." vinyl said, putting a hoof to her chin in thought as she waved another pony over, "Cinnabun! Get Rainboomah 'ere set up wit' a VIP pass yeah?" she requested.
"Right away Miss Scratch Ma'am!" the reddish brown pony said with a smile and began to work on getting the badge set up.
"Well, Oi think DJ Redclop is visitin' from Seahorseattle," Vinyl said after a moment of thought, "'Es gonna be on stage on th' west side in a few hours," she said with a grin before Cinnabun piped up, "Say cheese!" she said, giving very little warning for Rainbow Dash to strike a pose before there was a flash a few seconds later. Photo ID getting magically inscribed by another helper pony as they spoke.

The blue Pegasus continued to grin as Vinyl talked about making her a VIP. Her expression poofed, however, as she became temporarily blinded by the photo pony. Her eyes circled dizzily for a moment, before Rainbow Dash shook her head, trying to regain her vision. "WHAT IN THE- urghh..." The mare muttered, rubbing her eyes with a hoof as she tried to think straight.
"So, uh, west side, right? Who've we got on now?" Came her eventual question. By the sounds of it, Vinyl Scratch had no idea who was here either, so it would be up to Dash to find her friends. Until then, she would just have to enjoy the party! [/blockquote]

"We got summa moi mixtapes on roightnow while Oi'm running PR out here yeah?" Vinyl said before looking at the photo and laughing a bit, "Can ye Photoclop that Sheelah?" she asked Cin, who nodded, working with the other unicorn as Vin waited with Rainbow Dash.
"Why do ye ask? Ye a music lover or ye lookin' fo' someone specific Sheelah?" she asked Rainbow with a quirked brow.

Rainbow shook her head again, vision finally settling back into place. The Pegasus glanced up at the word 'photoclop', though, and a thread of worry ran through her mind. Were they going to put Spike's 'stache on her or something?!
Hearing the question, her ears perked. "Anything that sounds cool. Like rock music!" Dash grinned, trying to ignore the fact that another pony was messing with her face. Even if it was just a photo version - man, if Applejack ever got a hold of it... Agh, she'd just have to quickly check it and burn the card if it looked awful. Yeah. No harm done.
Well, harm to the card, but that didn't have feelings so it didn't count.

"Oi think Oi can direct ye ta a minidome ye may loik Sheelah," Vinyl said with a nod to the rainbow-maned pegasai, "Oi think Aycee Dee is mixin in minidome number seven. Oi can take ye there iffen ye'd loik or ya can walk around an get a view a th' place yerself, yeah?" she offered.
With that explenation out of the way, the two who were working on Rainbow Dash's badge passed it along to Vinylwho strung it up with a piece of cord and placed it around Rainbow's neck, "There ya go! Now yer official!" she declared with an energetic laugh. The badge seemed almost three dimensional when viewed from the front, unicorn magic and all that. Rainbow's badge, unlike the others, was also striped in a hazard sign pattern around the image in a rainbow coloration. Her name and the letters 'VIP' were printed on the bottom.

Rainbow bobbed her head slightly in time to the blaring music, listening to Vinyl explain the setup. Seemed simple enough. The pegasus almost bowed as the famous DJ put the tag around her neck, grinning madly as she spotted the rainbow-printed 'VIP' status. The holographic photograph made her eyes hurt, though.
Looking up, Rainbow took a quick glance across the gathered ponies. Still no sign of anyone she recognised... Ah, well, screw them. If they had better things to do than party with her, then she wouldn't let that get her down. On which note, she decided to answer Vinyl.
"I wouldn't mind a tour~ There's gotta be more domes on the way to number seven, right?" She grinned, flexing her wings and causing her tag to bounce. The music here sounded pretty awesome already, and if Vinyl had different DJs and mixtapes in different places, there might even be more rocking tunes elsewhere~ And of course, it was best to learn where all these were from the expert!

"Fantastic!" Vinyl declared when the offer for a tour was accepted, "It gets pretty big, yeah," she started off, "Multiple floors an' such first off so Oi won't bore ye with showin' ye all the domes an' floors, but Oi can point out th' important bits for ye," she started and saddled up next to Rainbow Dash before looking over her two little photo ponies, "Keep up th' good work ye two! Make sure ye only pass th' good apples in, yeah?" she asked them, who both nodded, and Vinyl began to enter the main structure itself.
"So! Food or Fun first an top to bottem or bottem to top?" Vinyl inquired o the double-rainbowed one as she nudged open the door leading into the main dome itself. As she did so, the music thudded to a new escelation of volume, extremely loud and pumping. Most couldn't really hear anything outside a few feet of one another unless someone yelled to talk to someone else or was within a foot or two.
