Our Harmonic Hearts Warming Eve
- In Ponyville -
- Musicians residents -
It was a calm and starry night, and everything seemed quite alright, well accept for Octavia who was frantically looking around the house.
“Vinyl have you seen the gifts for Hearts Warming Eve?, I can't seem to find them anywhere.”
The white unicorn trotted into the room.
“Oh yeah I put them on top of the closet.” she then went back to her devices.
The grey mare stood on her hind legs to reach them. “I just want us to be ready for this evening, after all it is our second visit to Princess Twilight's castle.”
The DJ looked up closing the speaker “Why do you think i'm fine tuning over here?, I'm gonna rock the house.” she grins lowering her purple shades.
Octavia brings the gifts down and sighs “Vinyl you promised me you wouldn't start any sort of trouble.” trots across the room to the DJ's side of the house.
“Aw come on Octy.” she pleaded.
“Vinyl.” she warned her “you promised me.”
She sighed as she lifts up her shades with her magic “Alright...for you.”
Octavia smiled in appreciation “Thank you.”
“So I take it you got me something for Hearts Warming?”
“Of...of course, why wouldn't I have?”
“Just checking.” she smiled and pecked the grey mare on the cheek.
Her cheeks blushed “I...I..don't suppose you got something for me too.”
“Of course, what kind of marefriend would I be.” and gave the cellist a wink.
“Well i'm glad....oohhh this is so exciting.” she squealed as her hooves hopped off the ground.
“Easy there Octy.” she levitates their scarf’s around their necks.” Oh and by the way that jam mix we made ages ago, made quite the storm, we should totally do it again some time,”
“I agree.” smiles “Our music together creates the best sort of harmony.” nuzzles her.
“Yeah hehe I remember when you first heard my sweet wubs, you weren't the biggest fan when we first met.” Grins, as she opened the door for them as they trotted out into the snow.
Trots alongside the DJ with her gift riding on her back. “True, and you thought my music was....oh what was it, somewhere along the lines of....boring.”
“He..he yeah sorry about that.” as she carried her gift in her magical aura as they trotted through Ponyville.
“It's quite alright, when I first heard your music I thought it was too wild.”
“And now we jam almost everyday.” she bumps her flank playfully against Octavia's.
Octavia laughed “Because it's fun.”
“That and you look great when the music takes hold of you.” smiles.
The Cellist blushes “I do get rather carried away.”
“Don't worry i'm guilty of that too.” trots up the stairs and the opens the main door to the castle. “After you.”
“Such a gentlemare.” trots inside the castle to be stunned at the displays. “Wow this looks amazing.”
Vinyl whistles “No kidding.”
“Well we still have some time before the event starts, what should we do first?”
“Hmmm.” Levitates their scarf’s onto a nearby hook along with gifts under the tree. “I could go for some punch.”
“I'll join you.”
Vinyl smiles “All right then.” she heads for the punch bowl and pours some into two cups. “To?.....to us.”
“To us.” she takes a sip and coughs. “Oh wow.” coughs again. “That's some strong punch.” coughs once more.“I don't quite remember it tasting this strong though.”
“Aw what's wrong can't handle your liquor Octy.” she smirked as she took another sip.
“Don't be ridiculous I drink wine!” she takes a large gulp of punch to the point of emptying her cup.
The unicorn burst out laughing. “Well...at least your not Berry.”
“Thank Celestia.” she groaned, instantly regretting for chugging down her drink too quickly.
The DJ smiled as she finished her drink.
She then caught Octavia folding her ears.
“Hey what's up Octy.....you alright?”
The Cellist sighed “I'm sorry it's just...when do you leave for Manehattan?”
“After hearts warming....so in 6 days.”
“For how long?” Octavia asked.
“A week...why?, You gonna miss me.” smirks and nuzzles her marefriend.
“Vinyl you know I will.” nuzzles her back getting a few looks from ponies with knowing smiles.
She reassured her. “Don't worry, I'll back soon and besides I'll be playing some of our work, I'm telling ya Manehattans gonna love it.”
This surprised Octavia. “You would...you would play our music.”
“Of course why not?” She shrugged her shoulders like it was a no brainier.”
“Well it's just you've...never played our music before, at least not in public.”
“Octy...it would be a crime not to play it in public, besides you said it yourself, we create the perfect kind of harmony.” She looked deep into the Cellist's eyes.
This caused Octavia to blush and shy away with a smile.
“You're so cute when you do that.” Vinyl smirked.
“Don't tease me then.”
“Well don't make make it so easy.” she winks as lowered her shades.
“Even you know that's impossible.”
“True.” pecks her on the cheek making Octavia blush even more.
“If you keep doing that I'm going to end up turning into a tomato.”
“Good, cause I love those too, maybe I'll get Discord to help me with that.” smirking all the while.
“NOO!.” Octavia cried out then to cover her lips with her hooves, gaining a few looks from the others due to the mares sudden outburst.
Meanwhile Vinyl was having a grand old time rolling on the floor laughing.
The earth pony pouts with her nose scrunching up. “Hmmm.”
“Ha...ha..again...ha..ha..too easy.” After calming down and wiping the tears from her eyes she sits back up.
“You're cruel..you know that right.”
“And you're adorable...and you just know how to keep me in line.”
“Like I have a choice.” Octavia covered her head with her hooves shuddering from Vinyl's past antics.
Vinyl smiles. “Come here.” sits next to her and wraps her forehoof around her.
Octavia tenses up at first but only for a moment as quickly relaxes into the unicorns embrace.
“Hey remember when you introduced me to your family?”
The mare bites her lip. “Yes.”
“Hehe..that was some crazy night huh, but they warmed up to PON3 as the night went on, Ha ...ha..who knew your dad could dance like that.
“Ugh don't make me remember, that was so embarrassing.”
“And super awesome.” she nuzzles her charcoal mane.
The Cellist closes her eyes. “Hmm you've been very affectionate this evening.”
“Too much?”
Octavia smiled. “Never”
“Good.” she pecked the Cellist on the lips. “Come on I think its to open the presents.”
Nods in agreement as she followed the unicorn to the tree.
Vinyl levitates Octavia her gift. “This is from me.”
Octavia unwraps Vinyl's gift to her. “It's a bow.”
“I know you already have a lot of them but this ones special.”
“Oh?” Octavia was now curious.
“Yeah...the string is made from a musicians mane.”
Octavia's eyes widened in excitement. “Is it from a famous classical musician from the ages?”
“Not exactly.”
Octavia raised an eye brow. “Oh?....then who does it belong to?” she asked.
“Me” Vinyl blushes.
This caught Octavia off guard as she looked back at it again noticing it wasn't blue.
“Before you ask, I dyed it just so it wouldn't stand out.”
Octavia's heart fluttered.“Vinyl that's so...”
The DJ blushed as she tried to keep her eyes concealed behind her purple shades.
“Sweet” Octavia finished her sentence with a peck on the cheek.
Vinyl blushed even more.
“You have quite the cute blush there Vinyl.” Octavia smiled.
Vinyl smirk back at her. “Careful I don't want to turn into a tomato too.” she teased.
Octavia giggled. “Hehe now go on, your gift isn't going to unwrap itself.”
Vinyl Scratch levitates her gift and unwraps it. “It's a record.” she removes her shades to get a better look at it.
“Mmhmm” Octavia nodded.
“What's on it?” she asked as it turned within the grasp of her magic.
Octavia blushes “It's one of my pieces.”
Vinyl's eyes widened. “Octavia...”
“It's a new piece I recorded.”
“When did you record it?”
“About a week ago.”
Vinyl smiled. “Well I can't wait to hear it.”
“And I can't wait for you to listen to it.”
Vinyl carefully placed the record back in its box. “How did a crazy mare like me get you?”
Octavia laughs “I sometimes wonder about that myself.”
The unicorn giggled and places her shades on Octavia's muzzle.
She giggled alongside her “How can you see through these?”
Vinyl smirks “You get used to them, and they look good on you.”
“Well in that case.” she unties her pink bow tie and places it around Vinyl's neck. “There.”
Vinyl chuckles “Hang on” she then ruffles up Octavia's mane with her magic to look more like hers. “There we go DJPon4.”
“4?” Octavia asked.
“Well I am DJPon3 Octy.” the DJ smirked.
Octavia nodded. “I see your point, there can only be one.”
“Exactly” Vinyl then brushed up Octavia's mane back to its original form.
This caused the grey mare to giggle.
Vinyl smiles as she straightens her tie. “Happy Hearts Warming Octavia.”
“Happy Hearts Warming Vinyl.” Octavia smiled back.
Vinyl's hoof brushed the floor in circles. “so you wanna head back, we could listen to the record you gave me.”
Octavia nodded with a smile. “I'd love that.”
- 1 Hour Later -
The unicorn pours some wine and places the record on the player. “Alright let's hear it then.” get's comfortable on the sofa as she uses her magic to press play.
Octavia takes a seat next to Vinyl.
Vinyl listened as the sound of the cello played into her ears. “A nice slow start....gentle too.”
Octavia smiles from the compliment as she closed her eyes.
Vinyl does the same and leans against her.
Octavia listens on as the music became more passionate causing the DJ to smile.
“This may be your best work yet Octy.”
“Wait for it.” The strings then began to speed up at an aggressive rate.
Vinyl whistled “Nice”
“Thank you” Octavia replied.
The DJ then opened her eyes as the music slowed down. “Want me to bring something back from Manehattan?”
Octavia looked and up at into the DJ's eyes and smiled. “I would love that.”
“Good, now...are you gonna kiss me or what.”
The mare rolled her eyes as she leaned in to kiss the DJ.
Vinyl smiled into the kiss as both their eyes closed, not wanting this moment to end.
The music played on as they spend their Hearts Warming together, The snow blankets the house roof, the white sheet glowed from the light from inside only then to be switched off.
- THE END -
