-Melodic Memories

As the moon lifted, and the sun began to show itself overhead, the little white filly lifted her eyes as well. Her tangled short mane was covering her face, and her heart was fluttering. She looked down at her bare flank. Vinyl let out a small sigh. 

A tune was playing in her head. That was strange. It sounded like that gray ponies song that she had played last night, but it had its own kick to it. Vinyl stood up. She let her mane fall back into place as the music in her head continued to play. Her hoof tapped the floor to the beat. She slightly bounced her shoulders up and down, and she started to hum the tune. Her singing voice sounded better than she expected. She had never really hummed, or sang before. This got Vinyl to smile. 

She continued singing her remixed melody of that musician from last night. Vinyl moved her head up and down, and she started to get louder. She wasn't really particularly caring if it would wake her parents. 

The little white unicorn let a spark of magic fly off the tip of her horn. It made a little sound which added a nice touch to her song. What had come over her? She wasn't quite sure, but whatever it was, Vinyl liked it. The insane sounds she was creating in her mind felt as if they were breaking her free. She was being released from a world without music, and being set loose right into the stereo that made the world go round.

Ever since that day, Vinyl had finally realized what she was good at. She finally realized what she loved. She finally realized what she would live for. Vinyl had left her home after that. That very morning she escaped her dreadful home, and ran away.

She never looked back. As small a filly as she was, she never wanted to go back. Vinyl went everywhere in search of that musical pony that inspired her to become what she was now. She left Ponyville, hoping to find her elsewhere. 

She never did.

But Vinyl had came across a place near Ponyville. A little club that Vinyl took up with. She never would leave. No matter how much the owners, and DJ's urged her to leave. She wouldn't budge. It was her new home, and she wasn't going to give it up for the world.





"We meet again." Vinyl took her shades off, and set them on her mixer. Everypony in the club stopped their conversing, and stared at the display set in front of them. Vinyl Scratch had taken off her glasses! Something nopony had every witnessed before.

Octavia, and Vinyl Scratch stood in front of each other. Their eyes were both glimmering in the colored strobe lights. All the club ponies turned their heads, pretending as if they hadn't noticed anything. They continued dancing, and talking as if nothing were going on between their beloved DJ, and a regal looking earth pony.

Vinyl turned slightly over to her mixer. She slammed her hoof down on a button, and the music instantly changed from loud bass, to soft, and slow dancing music.

Vinyl let her red eyes travel over to Octavia. She slightly smiled, and she pulled her arm around over in the direction of Octavia. Vinyl's outstretched hoof invited Octavia in.

"Could I have this dance?" Vinyl lowered her eye lids, and let a loving smile stretch across her muzzle. She raised her eyebrows as she waited for Octavia's answer.

Octavia's mouth was agape, and her large purple eyes were looking at Vinyl with curiosity. She slowly lifted one hoof from the floor, and timidly reached for Vinyl's. Their two hoofs interlocked, and Vinyl gently pulled Octavia to the dance floor.

Everypony saw what was happening, and slowly cleared the floor to give the two ponies the whole dance to themselves. Vinyl was very appreciative of this, and gave everypony a glance of thanks. They acknowledged her, and everypony bowed their heads at the two ponies. Octavia was amazed by this. Most of these ponies looked rough, and as if they were all on drugs, yet they were acting as if they were honoring the two of them, or at least honoring Vinyl. 

Vinyl knew that these ponies in her club were more than just partiers, they were all music loving ponies, much like herself, and they all respected Vinyl in more than just one way. She loved them as a whole. They kept her going through all the years. But the one pony that kept her from giving up, the one pony that gave her the reason to keep on, that one pony was Octavia.

Vinyl had never forgotten Octavia ever since she met her. That little gray earth pony had always stayed in her mind. So how could she had not noticed that Octavia was her all along? She wasn't quite sure, but it didn't matter anymore. She knew now, and Octavia was here with her, dancing with her. 

Octavia's eyes lit up, and her heart was increasing in speed. After all that waiting, she finally came to her. Vinyl had finally returned to her. Vinyl had kept her promise.

Those words rang through Octavia's ears as she swayed side to side in the arms of Vinyl.

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."

All of those promises had been kept. Except Octavia believed that Vinyl wasn't as talented as her, she believed that Vinyl was much more talented than her. Vinyl had exceeded in her musical skills. Octavia was nothing more than an instrumentalist who was starting to loose her touch. Vinyl was still young in her music, she still had what it takes, she still had the inspiration needed to be a great musician.

Vinyl looked directly into Octavia's eyes, as if she knew what Octavia was thinking. She leaned in slowly, and kissed Octavia's gray forehead. She smiled softly, and Octavia looked with disbelief. Her heart was pounding, and her cheeks were steaming. She couldn't help but let a smile form.

The two ponies danced together gracefully across the floor. Vinyl pulled Octavia in closer to her, and they felt the warmth of each other's bodies.

"You surely are much older now. You're definitely beautiful.....and it seems you have finally returned to me..." Octavia looked deeply into Vinyl's fiery eyes. Vinyl did the same. The two musicians danced, and looked into each other with love. They were trapped in each other, but they weren't hasting to be set free.

"I guess you were right. Music does seem to bring ponies together in the oddest of ways."Vinyl said, gently smiling.

"Music is quite powerful, indeed." Octavia replied.

"I want to share mine with you..."

"As do I..."

The two ponies slowly drifted their words. Vinyl started to lower her eyes, as she leaned in closer to Octavia. She tilted her head slightly, and moved in for Octavia's lips. 

"One day...."

Vinyl's lips interlocked with Octavia. The two ponies melted into each other. Their hearts beating in unison. 

Vinyl cherished every part of Octavia. She was the pony who made her who she was today. She was the only mare for her. She had always loved her, and Octavia felt the same way.

"I love you...." The two ponies spoke out loud together. They both smiled, and slightly giggled at this.

"Welcome back, Vinyl..." Octavia said as she rested her head on Vinyl's shoulders.

Welcome back....

Octavia wasn't sure what would become of them after this. The future was a complete mystery. But if Princess Celestia was right, then Octavia was sure she had nothing to worry about. 

Vinyl would only benefit her, and her future. Octavia was quite sure. But how could anypony truly know? They couldn't. But Octavia, and Vinyl weren't scared to find out.....together.


The End
