Octavia and Vinyl left the bar together, the other bar-goers wishing them all the best in the future. They walked so closely to one another it was a wonder that they hadn't tripped over each others hooves. Vinyl was smiling from ear to ear, content in the fact that her words had reached Octavia. She gently snaked her tail around Octavia's, whose tail responded in kind.
"I'm sorry for reacting so badly, Vinyl...I still haven't quite forgiven myself for it," Octavia said softly as she looked at Vinyl.
"It's fine Octy," Vinyl smiled. "I really should have seen things from your end. I can't even begin to imagine what it looked like," Vinyl said. "Ugh...I'm still trying to get his disgusting taste out of my mouth," she gagged.
Octavia giggled slightly. "I can understand why you broke up with him before," she said. "He had no idea what he had, and he let it go," Octavia smiled.
"Aww, Octy...that's so nice of you to say," Vinyl said with a small blush.
"Believe me...I made that mistake once, and I learn from my mistakes," Octavia said as she shared a gentle kiss with Vinyl. "Do you still have the key to the motel? I am thoroughly exhausted," she said with a yawn.
"Same here...last night wasn't exactly easy for me," Vinyl said as she thought back.
"I understand completely..." Octavia said, doing the same. "I just want to get a good night's sleep..." she said as she leaned into Vinyl again. "...and put this all behind us."
"Yeah...sounds good," Vinyl said, planting a kiss on her cheek. The two made their way back to the motel, Vinyl retrieving the key from her saddlebags and opening the door. Octavia entered first, looking around with a mix of shock and sadness. The room was completely untouched, save for the bed. This indicated that Vinyl had not even bothered to get out of bed the entire day until her surprise set.
"Vinyl...I..."
"Octy, it's alright...I'm better now, trust me." Vinyl then walked past her, grabbing a towel. "I'm gonna take a quick shower. Be out in a minute!" Vinyl said as she shut the door behind her. Octavia then took a few moments to readjust a few things as well as unpack her saddlebags for the night. Once done, she slipped into bed and quietly waited. After a little while, Vinyl emerged from the bathroom, having dried off. She found Octavia waiting for her, and smiled as she climbed into bed. Octavia immediately moved up against Vinyl, showering her with kisses and the affection she felt she owed her. Their hearts began to race as they moved closer and closer to one another, the warmth between them slowly growing with the passionate fires between them. They broke the kiss, simply staring into each others eyes as they held each other, gentle nuzzles leading into yet another fiery kiss, the two forced to stop again for breath.
"Well? What are you waiting for?" Octavia asked in a sensual voice, a sultry expression gracing her face.
"Who said anything about waiting?" Vinyl smirked in response. Octavia then felt Vinyl's tail began to shift position and smiled.
"Never one to wait for the green flag," Octavia said softly.
"I wait for no pony...except a certain cellist," Vinyl returned. The two shared yet another kiss as they disappeared beneath the covers.
*~*~*~*
Octavia slowly opened her eyes, feeling better rested than she had in days. She rolled over to face Vinyl, who was soundly asleep, snoring her life away. Octavia chuckled a little as she leaned forward and planted a kiss on her cheek. She got out of bed and made her way into the shower. She exited shortly thereafter, drying her mane as she gently nudged Vinyl awake. "Vinyl, wake up. We need to get moving, the movers should be arriving soon," Octavia said. Vinyl sat up and looked around, confused and still somewhat asleep.
"...How long until they get here?" Vinyl asked as she climbed out of bed.
"Four hours," Octavia said as she made her way over to the mirror and began to brush her mane.
"...You woke me up four hours early, why?" Vinyl asked, flopping back down in bed.
"Because I want to make final preparations as well as make one last pass in terms of checking the apartment for anything we might have forgotten before we make the move," Octavia explained. Vinyl groaned in response.
"Octy, I told you, we aren't forgetting anything!" Vinyl whined.
"And I believe you, but I want to make sure anyway," Octavia said.
"Urgh, fine." Vinyl then got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Once they had gathered all their things, they left the motel and returned the key to the concierge at the front desk. As they walked, they moved past a store that Vinyl had passed by all the time as a filly- a pet shop.
"Oh my gosh...Octy, we HAVE to get a pet!" Vinyl squealed.
"Vinyl, there are PLENTY of animals back in Ponyville that you can adopt," Octavia said, raising an eyebrow.
"C'mon, Octy! It'll be something reeeeeally cool, and it'll act as a reminder of our time here in Canterlot. Pleeeeease, Octy?" Vinyl begged, puffing out her lower lip in an attempt to act cute.
"That has never worked on me before, why do you expect it to work now?" Octavia asked with a small chuckle.
"Because you love me and you want me to be happy?" Vinyl answered for her.
"While that is true, yes, I still do not understand why you are so insistent on this..." Octavia said. "...but I suppose there is no harm in a pet."
"YESYESYESYESYES! Thank you, Octy! You're the best!" Vinyl squealed with delight, giving Octavia a huge kiss on the cheek.
"I am aware, now go on and get your pet," Octavia said with a small smile. Vinyl made her way into the store and began to peruse the selection. The store owner, a mare with a maroon colored coat, bright orange eyes and a black mane with a paw print for a cutie mark made her way over to Vinyl.
"Welcome to Perfect Pony Pets! Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yeah, actually. I'm looking for a pet that doesn't require much maintenance, is easy-going, and is as cool as I am," Vinyl grinned.
"Well, our reptiles are towards the back if you wanna look over there," the mare offered.
"Reptiles?! COOL!" Vinyl said as she hurriedly made her way over. She examined all the different cages, not quite pleased with everything. She then saw one particular cage, and smiled.
*~*~*~*
Vinyl exited the pet-store, extremely pleased with her purchase. "Oh this is so cool! I love it!" Vinyl grinned.
"That was quick. So what did you-" Octavia turned to face Vinyl, but instead of seeing the face of a pony, she was nose-to-nose with a big, green iguana.
*~*~*~*
Twilight was muzzle-deep in one of her favorite books when she looked up, having heard something strange. "Spike, did you hear that?"
"Hear what, Twilight?" Spike said, carefully balancing a stack of books on his head as he tried to put them back on the shelf.
"It sounded like...a scream..." Twilight said, confused.
"A scream? You've been reading too many horror novels, Twiliiiiight!" Spike yelled as he lost his balance, falling off the ladder and ending up underneath all the books he had been balancing.
"Hmm...maybe I have..." Twilight said. She thought about it for a moment, and went back to reading her book.
*~*~*~*
"VINYL, GET THAT THING OUT OF MY FACE!" Octavia yelled, absolutely terrified by the lizard now perched on Vinyl's head.
"He has a name, you know! His name is Unts, and he is my pet. I shall love him forever," Vinyl giggled as Unts readjusted his position on her head.
"Take him back! Take him back RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Octavia yelled, afraid to go near Vinyl.
"Oh, come on, Octy! He's not gonna attack you! Isn't that right, Unts? Who's a good iguana? You are! Yes you are!" Vinyl cooed as she scratched his back with a hoof, to which Unts gave a small smile. "Besides, they've got a no-refund, no-return policy. He's ours for good! Now come over here and meet Unts!"
Octavia edged her way over to Vinyl, gingerly reaching a hoof to stroke the spines on his head. "N-Nice to meet you, Unts..." she stuttered, gently brushing back the spines. Unts shifted slightly and made a slight groaning noise as the sac under his jaw began to fill with air. Octavia recoiled immediately, expecting it to spit acid or something else equally dangerous, and blushed in embarrassment when he snorted slightly and laid back down. Vinyl started laughing, causing Unts to move back a bit so he would not fall off her head. "Stop laughing at me! It is not that funny!"
"Oh, oh my stomach! Octy, you are adorable!" Vinyl laughed. "Ahh, that made my day. Let's go get ready to make the move." As they walked, Vinyl tried to get Unts to attack and eat flies, but he would simply sit lazily on her head.
"C'mon Unts! Just do it once!" Vinyl pleaded.
"What are you doing, Vinyl?" Octavia asked.
"I'm trying to get Unts to attack something," Vinyl explained. "C'mon, Unts! Sick 'em! Sick 'em, boy!"
"Vinyl, I am certain that addressing an iguana like a dog will not yield results..."
"It'll work, Octy. You'll see!" Vinyl said, trying once more.
"You really do have quite the twisted mind, Vinyl..." Octavia muttered.
"Twisted, or brilliant?" Vinyl grinned.
"I would say 'brilliantly twisted'," Octavia remarked.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here," a voice said. The two mares turned around, and both scowled heavily as Neon approached them. "So I guess it's safe to say my little plan failed. Makes no difference to me, really. I got what I wanted- and that was to see you suffer, Vinyl."
Vinyl then smirked. "You know what? You're right, Neon. I did do a pretty horrible thing. I shouldn't have broken up with you over something so dumb, and to make up for it, I got you something."
"Is that so? Well, what is it?" Neon asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Octy, would you do the honors?" Vinyl smiled.
"Absolutely. Unts, sick 'em," Octavia ordered. To Neon's horror and both Octavia and Vinyl's surprise, Unts reared back and LEAPT off of Vinyl's head, launching himself at Neon's face as he began to scratch and bite at him.
"Wow! He actually listened! That must mean he likes you Octy," Vinyl grinned.
"How sweet...I must say I am beginning to like him. How much was he?" Octavia asked.
"Two-hundred bits," Vinyl said. "Why?"
"Best two-hundred bits we have ever spent," Octavia laughed, her and Vinyl watching as Unts played havoc on Neon's face. After a little while, Neon finally forced Unts off of him, and scampered off. Unts made his way over to Octavia and clambered onto her back, perching himself on her head between her ears.
"Awww, he likes you, Octy." Vinyl smiled.
"Well, he certainly was a good boy, so he is more than welcome up here...though it may take some getting used to..."
The two then continued back to their old apartment, laughing the entire way.
Neon deserves every scratch, bite, and gash.
Yay%

Epic as always. The two-day wait was well worth it, as it always is. I can't wait for the next chapter, and I just hope the story doesn't end any time soon!
I wonder if Vinyl and Octavia will be included in the mane 6's pony pet play date every week? Tank could finally have another reptile buddy.

Now that I got that out of the way, I can say funny as hell!! I can pitcher the looks on Octavia and Vinyl's faces when Unts Attacked!
i <3 Unts!
73594 Exactly as it looks, "Uhntss" like the bass in a techno song, or any electric song for that matter, other than Dubstep where "wub" is the most famous sound effect that everyone likes to use.
Oh that was hilarious. Still think Neon deserves more done to him AND have a chat with Kester but it's a wonderful start.
Ha I hope neons face gets infected and falls of that would be fitting for that prick thank you author for getting revenge on that .....? To be honest no name is insulting enough. Any way well done good chapter
What the hell does "Unts" mean?
(Typing on a phone sucks, fyi. Sorry that the message cuts out later. Nothing I can do about it.)
Whaaaa?! Come on! I thought that EVERYPONY knew it's spelled with a z! Untz!
A wild enemy Neon appeared! Go, Untz, I choose you
What will Untz do?
Untz used Fury Swipes! Hit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Times!
Critical Hit! It was Super-Effective!
The enemy Neon has been defeated!
Untz received 7263 exp!
Untz leveled up!
He gained 87% more tolerance from Tavi!
(Lol, I'm just messing with you! Untz is spelled several ways, and if you prefer an s, then that's your choice! I wasn't trying to indicate anything aside from playful harassment, so... XD no hard feelin
73567 Unts is another form of Unce, both of which are the sounds you hear in the back-beat when there is a cymbal or other instrument noise like it playing on the re-verb, so it goes like UN-TS UN-TS UN-TS or UN-CE UN-CE UN-CE. But, it's just a lot easier to type/write/watevs UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS
Love the name. Unts is best pet.

I just hope Vinyl get another pet an name it Wub!!!
Unts is da bomb

Y U HURT NEON?! YOU SICK BASTARDS, what is wrong with you bronies? Get a bloody grip on yourself, jeez. Maniacs...
Unts is best pet! I can just see him and Kester hanging out at a beach kicking back and beating the st out of meanie pants.
I KNEW telling Neon that iguanas were perfectly harmless was the right thing to do
I hope he left an infectious wound. I hear the bites of an Iguana are
particularly toxin, as Doctor Thrax would say....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFc90FX2KIA
Damn it, I was really hoping that Vinyl and Octy would beat the crap out of Neon right there, instead of having Unts lightly scrape him
Any painful experience is welcomed though
I'm so happy right now
Amazing chapter, loved it as much as the others. I hope this story never ends. Keep up the good work!
Iguana don't care. Iguana doesn't even give a shit. He sees Honey Badger and he's like "fuck you honey badger, I'm an iguana!"
i learned something today
The iguana attack almost makes up for Neons scheme,
but I still do have this craving for cupcakes.
73669 Learn to read... You see what he did to Vinyl and Octavia? Then he hunted them to see if it worked. Unts is okay in my books.
Great Chapter, Unts is a big ol softie I bet he's just really defensive of his owners honour. Unts is cool in my books
