Vinyl giggles as she walked to her roommates room in their apartment thinking on what she's doing. Though part of her thinks it's cruel but quickly dismisses it as she levitated a letter that's sealed and has no return address. She hums a tune from her music as she thinks on more of her idea.
Sometime ago Vinyl was set up on a blind date with the help of Octavia whom said the stallion was a good pony until Vinyl met the stallion which turned out to be a mare and the date ended before it began leaving Vinyl not in a happy mood causing her to never talked to Octavia for a month while at the same time she was plotting revenge until recently when she decided to set he up with her rival Neon for some revenge since she knows it won't go well. Though took some persuasion she convinced both to meet by getting them to write a letter to each other. Now she knows it will go well.
Two hours later....
Octavia walks through a park with the letter in a small saddle bag as she looks around. She feels excited inside but keeps her composure as she looks around for the noble but sees no pony around. She taps her hoof knowing she's on time. She then lays on a bench sighing knowing this pony she's supposed to meet may not be here even if the letter says so.
Off to the side Neon walks in wearing a leather jacket. He looks around as he hums seeing no pony. He tilts his head wondering if this mare he's meeting will be here as he walks by a bench where he spots Octavia. At first he looks away but glances at her. He finds her pretty but thinks she's some snob as he walks by her thinking she's not the mare.
Octavia looks up to see Neon bit surprised to see him here as she never saw him and wanders why he's familiar and where she saw somepony that looks like him. She smiled warmly and nodded at him. "Hello. You here for something? Or somepony?" She asked him.
Neon looks at her smiling also. "Yea, though seems this mare I'm meeting isn't here." He said.
Octavia raised an eyebrow at him and sighed. "Guess I'm in the same boat as you since this stallion I'm supposed to meet isn't here and was some joke my friend is playing on me." She replied.
Neon snickered as he covered his mouth with a hoof trying not to laugh which in turned made Octavia giggled which lead into both laughing for few minutes until they stopped leaving both in silence with nothing but the light wind and rustle of the leaves and bushes as Neon rubs his fromt leg with is other front leg looking at the ground unsure what to say next as Octavia herself is rubbing her front hoof as she sits up and looks up and around until she looks at Neon. "Want to meet up here again maybe?" She asked.
Neons ears perk up at the question as he's surprised at it. "Well I uh ah sure." He said not sure why he agreed to it. But he can't help but be curious about her since she seems different then other ponies that live in the upper parts of Canterlot.
Unknown to him Octavia is also curious about him since she lives with Vinyl she gotten a first impression of what ponies are like that live in the lower parts of Canterlot. Though she won't say it out loud she finds him fascination in some way. She then clears her throat smiling a bit. "Names Octavia." She said.
Neon smiled and nodded. "Names Neon." He said.
Both smiled as Octavia gets up and looks over at a clock seeing its late. "We can meet up here say tomorrow evening?"
Neon nods. "Sure. I know I'm free."
Both agreed to it and said their goodbyes and head on home both thinking the same thing: "I just agreed to possibly a date."
Back at Vinyls and Octavia's apartment Vinyl is walking down the stairs when she heard the door open and assume it's Octavia and smiles thinking her little joke worked. As she arrives what she sees instead isn't what she's expecting: Octavia is smiling while humming a little tune to herself. Vinyl tilts her head bit curious at what gotten her friend in such a happy mood.
She gets to the bottom of the steps facing Octavia whom is going upstairs. "So Octavia, what happened?" She asked.
Octavia looked at her smiling. "Well Vinyl, I noble wasn't there but someone whom I find interesting was there instead. We already planned on meeting up again." She said.
Vinyl is glad she's wearing her shades knowing it's hiding her confused look. "Oh, who is this pony?" She asked but isn't sure.
Octavia passes by her giggling. "Neon."
Octavia may not noticed, but Vinyl has a surprised look on her face with her mouth wide open with her jaw hanging down.
Octavia enters her room as she hums to herself as she taps her hoof to her chin thinking on what to bring to her and Neons meeting tomorrow. As she was about to get into bed she suddenly thinks she heard the name Neon somewhere. She then turns to her desk where a trash bin is next to and goes through it until she finds a poster with the stallion and Vinyl, about some DJ dual, remembering suddenly Neon is the same DJ whom is Vinyls rival. She wants to just simply stop seeing him but can't help but feel he's different somehow. She then sits on the bed with the poster looking at the photo of Neon thinking of giving him a chance.
Neon arrives home humming one of his music as he thinks about Octavia until he stopped suddenly. "Octavia, where have I heard that name before." He said as he goes to the newspaper, The Canterlot Star, and goes through it until he sees the picture of the mare on a cello causing his eyes to go wide as he realizes she possibly one of those ponies. He was about to throw it away until he remembers she never treated him like trash. He then sits in a chair holding the paper in his magic looking at the picture of her. "She is cute. Maybe she's different." He said smiling thinking of giving her a chance.
