//------------------------------// // The first time // Story: Octavia and Vinyl:The good old days // by Bronylover109 //------------------------------// It was an overall warm day in Canterlot,and various ponies had either been hiding in shade,or grabbing something to drink. Octavia was too busy to even notice. Her current occupation had been organization. She was frantically rummaging through papers trying to make sure everything was in order. It was her first day of high school,and she needed to be organized for it. She then realized she already had everything she needed,for she had bought it all over a month ago,and packed it into her saddlebags quickly. She wanted terribly to make sure it was ready,as she was one for being ready for everything. Organizing was a very important part of life for her,as was being punctual,for she had grown up with those customs. It had shown that she was an elegant mare. Through her pink bow tie,and formal voice,she could have gone to the fanciest restaurant in Equestria,and still impressed the ponies there. Her grey coat shimmered in the morning light,and although her eyes were squinted against it's brightness,she didn't move from her current position on the wooden floor. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Vinyl was attempting to cram everything into one bag. She needed it all to packed before the fifteen minutes she had left to get to Canterlot were up. She had rented a small dorm to the school,because it was really far away from were she lived. Canterlot. Her home in Ponyville wouldn't do of she was going to another town,that was hours away. She sat there,using her unicorn magic to pull several notebooks out of various shopping bags,and began putting them into her school saddle bags. Her blue mane,and white fur shimmered in the light coming through the window in her home. She was considering skipping today,as there was no possible way to reach Canterlot in the few minutes she had left,but remembered the teleportation spell she had learned. She wasn't good at it,and it took almost all of her energy,but she would need to use it if she ever wanted to make it on time. So,that's excactly what she did,her light blue magic outlining her body. A bright blue light flashed in the room,and she disappeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Octavia had began moving her things into her dorm last month. She was very organized,and everything needed to be just right. Even though the dorm was most likely going to be shared with some pony,she had to feel at home. But of course,she kept her belongings to her side of the dorm. "Oh,fifteen minutes.....Well,the school is 5 minutes from here,so I'll wait about three minutes to get ready to leave." Octavia carefully planned out her entire morning,aside from what she would be doing at school. Suddenly,a pony with a blue mane and a white coat raided the dorm,and slammed the door opened,and then shut "Okay roomy! You ready to PARTY!? Octavia looked at her in surprise. "Uhm. H-hi there...I-i'm Ocatavia....and you are...?" She tried to keep her elegant nature as she spoke,but was too shocked to do so. " I'm Vinyl! You probably know me from my many shows around this joint though!" She screamed,pumped up. "Oh,well nice to meet you...But I need to go now,i only have 12 minutes to get to my first class. I need to get to school now..." "Aww,what?! First classes are in 12 minutes! You got time!" "Well,i prefer to be early,so if you'll excuse me...." The grey mare walked to the door. Ocatvia left the building,leaving the DJ shrugging,and un-packing her belongings alone in the room. The few things she had brought with her besides school supplies were her deejay equipment,a pair of glasses she was currently wearing,and a couple of music-themed posters. She took a moment to take in the dorm. It had boring white walls,and a plain light wooden floor,save for a purple carpet her roommate had brought with her. The walls had only been adorned by the gray ponys' clock,and the posters Vinyl had recently put up,making them rather bland,even for such a small room. Vinyl next moved on to explore the bathroom,which had the same boring,white walls,and blue floor tiles. The shower was white too,and it had a single glass door on it,making it only for showers,and prohibiting baths. The only other occupants of the small room were soap,shampoo,conditioner,towels,and the sink. That gray mare must've brought the shampoo,towles and stuff.. Vinyl thought to herself,with a sigh. She figured she should leave now,too,as Canterlot High had been five minutes from there,and she only had about eight minutes left. With that,she left the small bathroom,put on her saddlebags,and headed out the plain brown door of the building. She had noticed a park on the way there,and made a mental note to visit it sometime. But besides that,there didn't seem to be anything close to exciting near her building. Vinyl hadn't been able to find that pony she saw before,but she had known she'd be seeing a lot of her,considering she would be living with her for the time being. She noticed the school was in sight,and headed for it,knowing she didn't have much time. Speeding up,she ran into the school,short of breath. The building had double doors,and were able to be pushed open easily. The hallways weren't very wide,but had been very long. There had been several classrooms,and lockers that adorned the walls. The white mare trotted around,taking a glance at a paper she had been sent in the mail over the summer,that told her what locker number was hers,and what classes she had. She found her locker,put a simple sticker with her cutie mark on the top of it,and trotted to where she should of found her classroom.
