If You Could Only See

"She's such a slob!"

"How obnoxious!"

"How could she choose someone so uncouth!"

"Dear, I'm sure you can find better. Someone that has the same stature as you. Your marefriend is just so..."

Octavia woke with a start. Her sheets were damp with sweat.

Octavia shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Another bad dream." She got out of bed, and slowly trotted to where Vinyl was sleeping.

Vinyl Scratch. A mare that was sure to evoke reactions and comments from anyone.

Octavia stared at the sleeping mare, catching all the tiny details. Her wild, unkempt mane. Her drool. Her very loud snore. The way she rancidly stank after two days of partying and no baths in between.

Octavia sighed. She never did like Vinyl's music, but one song stood out. Recalling the lyrics, Octavia smiled. She started humming, and, feeling elated, quietly sang.

"If only you could see the way she loves me, then maybe you will understand, why I feel this way about our love..."

Author's Note:

Was inspired by the song "If You Could Only See."

I just imagined Octavia waking up after having a bad dream about people telling her how bad Vinyl is to her. After seeing Vinyl and doing a little thinking, she sees that Vinyl's love for her is one of a kind, and she will fight for it.
