Vinyl Scratch and Octavia moved in together a few months ago, and have been together even longer. Be that as it may, Octavia has never seen her lover without her trademark glasses, and she can't help but wonder why.

Now with a reading by Sojourner!
A/N: I'm hella stressed this week and just needed to write something cute to make me smile. Bestship, ho!

This story is a sequel to Scotchtavia

After a heavy night of drinking, most of which she can’t remember, Octavia awakens to a monstrous hangover. But even this isn’t enough to distract her from the obvious fact that Vinyl is acting… different. Kinder, sweeter, and much more considerate. Something happened last night, something that has clearly had a huge effect on Vinyl. But what could it possibly be?

UPDATE 09/09/2023: Edited story to fit better with my current writing standard. Original unedited story here!

Vinyl Scratch enjoys a quiet evening alone at home.

Octavia and Vinyl have been dating for months, but neither has had a chance to introduce their significant other to their families. Vinyl always dodges the issue, but when Octavia is insistent, they have a fight. This leaves Vinyl with no other option than to have Octavia over to meet her parents.

Maybe she should have told Octavia who she really was?

Dramatic reading by Goombasa available here.

Now in Russian, translated by Hopeless.

Octavia is stressed, her day was not exactly the best. She just needed to lie down and have some snuggles while somepony to hear her. Good thing Vinyl was there.

Octascratch cuteness 'cause I wanted and because it's simply cute (duh). And ya' know you love it!

Vinyl Scratch wakes up on Hearts And Hooves Day with plans for the greatest day ever for her and her sweetheart Octavia. But something feels wrong, very wrong. Her sense of foreboding is confirmed when she turns to her horror and sees something she wished she never had to lying next to her in bed.

After being apart for five years, Vinyl finds out that Octavia got married. Knowing there is no way she can have back what they once had, Vinyl feels alone. She won't let anybody in. She won't let anybody help. She just wants to forget her biggest mistake: letting Octavia go.

This takes place after the events of Autograph by RushingAutumnLeaves. I suggest you read that story first.

Vinyl knew she loved him from the time she was very small...

And she knew it was wrong.
They had grown up together.
He was like a brother to her.

But she still loved him,
And it wasn't supposed to be that way...

But that didn't make it hurt any less.

Yay! The third chapter is finally finished! This chapter is a little shorter than the other chapters but I hope is supposedly better written than the other chapters. Hope you enjoy it!
