This story was born when I was bored and tired, I take no blame.

Disclaimer: The characters aren�t mine, they belong to Anne Rice. Could you really believe any different?

Rating: PG

I figured the vampires had to discover pieces of technology as time passed, and sometimes the changes were violent, and who knows, some of them might have gotten lost or screwed themselves. Meant not to be serious, mostly silly. Its late�

Part 1: The Introduction of the CD

1992

Louis listened the static-like noise blaring from the headphones clapped over Lestat�s ears. They literally screamed the symphonies of their time, though sounding more digitally mastered then those Louis had been once familiar with. He strained his ears to hear the music properly, intrigued by the melody of this artist.

Several minutes later, the Brat, restless, turned the music off and stood, intending to leave. Louis, now desperately wanting to hear the continuation of the ended Bach soundtrack, asked Lestat for the music.

Lestat, gracious, handed him the �CD� before exiting the flat.

Louis looked at it curiously; he had been expecting a tape, but this flat round object was not something known to him.

�What in the hell?� Louis said, flipping it around and looking in his reflection. �Why would Lestat be listening to a record?� he shook his head before glancing at the entertainment system that Lestat had used to listen to this. All the glaring green numbers, the numerous slots and various buttons bedazzled Louis. So unable to figure out where the on button was, he went in search of a record player.

�Antiques everywhere and not one damn record player?� Louis asked himself, searching the flat.

Finally, he came across the familiar machine, and lifted the plastic film covering the bulking instrument.

He picked up the silver compact disc and placed it on the machine, lifting the arm and placing the little needle at the center most part. He imagined there was very little music on the �CD�, seeing as it was so small.

He turned the recorder player on, and covered his ears as loud scrapes resounded in the air. He pulled the arm up and looking in awe at the damage done to the little compact disc. Long circular scratches across the top decorated the perfect silver circle.

Time and time again, flipping it over, trying it in the middle, Louis moved the arm of the record player to try and hear the music. By this time, he had become quite desperate and had the greatest urge to listen to the music. He grew quiet as he heard Lestat�s steps coming up the entrance of the flat.

He took the CD from the player and walked to the study where he had first encountered Lestat with this monstrosity.

Louis handed Lestat the CD. �Enjoy it?� Lestat asked, watching Louis turn and walk away.

Louis didn�t answer but stopped for a but a second when he heard Lestat�s next words. �Louis, what did you do�?�

�Don�t ask Lestat, don�t ask.� Louis said, walking to the library and picking up a new book.

::And so Ends Louis� discovery of the CD::
