The sheets rustled, as she softly nudged her muzzle against Octavia's hoof. Octavia quickly jerked away, afraid that she had awaken Vinyl from her slumber. But Vinyl had only stirred in her sleep, and leaned on her other side. Octavia was relieved. Was this really that filly? The filly from long ago? The same filly that caused her own fillyhood to be a confused one? That caused her to sit in that same exact place every night, and wait to see if she would ever appear again? The same filly that had taken her first kiss? Octavia moved a tad bit closer to Vinyl's face. She took her hoof and ran across Vinyl's cheek. She gently raised Vinyl's head towards her. Octavia's eyes began to become heavy with tears. She tried to hold them in, but they ran down her face, and one dripped on Vinyl's cheek. Octavia's heart started to pound. The speed was intense, and she couldn't control her shaking body. Octavia hovered over Vinyl's face. She could see that Vinyl's eyes were gently closed under her shades. She could see that Vinyl had very thick, and delicate eyelashes. Octavia moved in closer towards Vinyl's muzzle. Her white fur was so soft to the touch, and Octavia couldn't help but softly feel Vinyl's lips with her hoof. 'I wonder what they taste like....' Octavia leaned in all the way this time. She wanted to know. She wanted to feel them. It had been so long. She always wanted to, ever since the first time. Ever since she was seven. She waited for this moment for so long, and she could finally see it right before her very eyes. Thirteen years later. There she was.....before her very eyes. The night air was cold. Vinyl had left the warmth of her bed, and made her way out the front door. Her parents were sleeping soundly, and even if they were to wake up and find her missing, they wouldn't care. She hated to be there. Nothing special ever happened except for the fact that her parents would fight ever other hour. The little unicorn escaped her jail. She didn't even care to lock the door back. 'Maybe somepony will go in, and steal everything that my parents own. Maybe even take them!' Vinyl smiled at her deviant thought, and continued to trot away. Vinyl didn't feel as if she was a very important little filly. Everypony in her class all had their cutie marks, and she still didn't. She didn't have anything that she was good at. How was she supposed to get a cutie mark if she wasn't talented in any way at all? The frustrated filly kicked at the dirt with her white hoof. Her thoughts wondered around in every part of her young mind. Her eyes stared angrily at the ground. She didn't know what to do. She hated being the youngest at school, and she hated being the youngest at home. She hated being young at all. She wanted to grow up in one day. She wanted to show everypony that she was somepony important. She wanted to prove to everypony that one day she would be loved. She would be talented, and everypony would want to be her! She knew that she would be somepony great one day, and she was anticipating it. The little filly started to smile. A small spark of pride glimmered in her big eyes, and she lifted her head up towards the dark, moon-filled sky. "One day, everypony here, and everywhere, will know my name!" Vinyl quietly said. She pretended as if ponies were cheering her name, and hoof pumping the air, she let out a feeble chant. "Vinyl! Vinyl! Vinyl!" She mimicked a crowd of ponies. She smiled as she amused her own self. The wind started to blow, and her mane flew in the breeze. This made the little unicorn all the more amused. She lifted her tiny arms in the air, and smiled as big as her little muzzle would let her. "Look upon me Equestria! For one day you will know my name!" Vinyl suddenly jumped back at the sound of music. She looked around everywhere making sure nopony saw her. Nopony was around her. She heard the sound again, but this time it sustained. The noise quietly filled the air, and Vinyl's small white ears were completly pierced by the sound. The notes made Vinyl softly sway her head. She was pulled by the music. She followed to where it was coming from. There in the distance, Vinyl could see another filly. A gray earth pony was sitting on a park bench. Her little arms were moving vigorously. Her muisical wand was sliding across the large wooden instrument. Vinyl wasn't sure what it was. It looked like an oversized violin to her. The little unicorn silently moved closer to the gray filly. Vinyl noticed that she had a cutie mark. Another filly that had a cutie mark before Vinyl. But this filly looked older than her. Slightly older. This made Vinyl feel a little better. The music was still dancing around in the darkness. The little musician had her eyes closed. She hadn't noticed Vinyl standing in front of her. The wind blew slightly, and Vinyl's mane fell in front of her eyes. She was too involved in the sound to move it aside. She didn't want to move an inch. She stood still until the music stopped. She could see that the gray earth pony was slowly opening her eyes. Vinyl was frozen in shock. She didn't move. The musician gasped, and slightly jumed back. Vinyl had startled her obviously. The gray pony spoke. Vinyl thought she sounded rather silly. It seemed as if she were trying to sound older than she actually was. "My dear, what are you doing out at this hour? Isn't it awfully late, and dark for such a young filly to be out?" Vinyl ignored what the pony had said. She instead took a step closer to the pony. She wanted to get a closer look. This musician was quite beautiful. Her gray mane was perfectly intact, and her eyes were a deep purple. They looked so pretty in the moonlight. The gray pony stood up from her seat, and put her instrument to the side. She spoke again, and walked towards the filly. But Vinyl had no idea what the pony said, she wasn't listening anymore to her words. She backed up a small bit, and noticed the pony stopped too. Vinyl lifted her head up towards the attractive pony. Her mane fell back into place, and she gazed straight into her purple eyes. She could see that the gray pony was looking directly into hers too. Was this a good thing? Vinyl couldn't help but stare. This pony looked like no other, and her musical skills were beautiful just like her. Vinyl wanted to speak to her. She couldn't find anything to say though, but she finally built up her thoughts, and spit something out. "You're really beautiful." Vinyl couldn't believe she just said that. Out of everything she could have said, and she chose to say that! Vinyl could see that the pony had said something in return, and was now smiling at her. Vinyl didn't try to figure out what she said. She didn't really care. She couldn't help but be lost into her large purple eyes. She could smell a sweet scent that was arousing her, and she wanted to lean closer to smell it even stronger. "I wanna' grow up to be just like you." The words slipped right passed Vinyl's lips. She couldn't help but say them. She wanted to be just as beautiful, and talented as this pony. She wanted to be able to play such beautiful music. She wanted to play music for everypony. Then will she be known. If she were talented such as this gray filly, she would be known. The gray pony responded, but Vinyl only repeated herself to her. Then the earth pony laughed. Did she think it was funny? Did she think that Vinyl was joking? Or was she making fun of her like everypony else? "Will you let me?" Vinyl wanted to cry now. She didn't want this lovely pony to laugh at her. She didn't want her to think she was foolish. She only wanted to look over her. She wanted to be her friend. The gray filly responded to this. This time Vinyl heard her. "Of course I will. If that's what you want, then you can do it." Vinyl held back her unneeded tears. She couldn't help but smile at the filly. She had told her that she could be like her. She said she could do it if she wanted to. Vinyl was so excited, and thrilled. She stared into the large eyes of the gray earth pony. Her eyelashes were long, and perfectly placed. Vinyl didn't hold back her words. She said them with confidence, and ease. "One day...you will see me again, but I will be bigger, and beautiful, and I will be just as talented as you. One day....you will see me again." Vinyl's heart started to pound. Her stomach churned as she leaned in towards the gray musician. She was lost in her gaze, and she couldn't help herself but to move closer. She couldn't stop herself no matter how hard she tried. It was as if a magnetic pull was drawing her nearer and nearer. She finally reached the pony as close as she could get. Without hesitation, Vinyl got on her tip-hoof, and kissed the pony. She savored the flavor of the musicians sweet, soft lips. She melted inside of the earth pony. Only a small peck seemed like forever. Vinyl retreated from her lip embrace, and quickly turned around before she could even see the ponies reaction. She lifted her hooves from the ground, and sped off at full speed. She was afraid to slow down, and turn around. She was afraid to move slowly at all. She was afraid to look the gray filly in her purple eyes. All she could do was run, and never look back. Vinyl looked out her window. The night air was cool. The little white filly stared into the moon. Her lips still tingling from the foreign procedure she had preformed. Vinyl softly lifted her hoof towards her muzzle. She gently touched her lips, only slightly for she was afraid to rub off the sweet taste that still lingered on them. She slightly smiled at the thought of that musician. Her music was still playing through her ears. She would never forget that tune. She would always remember it no matter what. Maybe one day the filly could play it again for her. Maybe that day would be soon. She hoped for that at least. But the little unicorn stared into the moon. Replaying her kiss over and over in her thoughts. Knowing that that would not be the last time she would feel those lips. Knowing that one day she would do it again. Knowing that one day....she would see her again.
