Canterlot... For centuries, Canterlot was the shining gem of Equestria, the pinnacle of pony society. Now, it’s a reminder, a bleak and monolithic warning to the world. 

Changed by the chemical and technological poisons that plague the mountain, an abomination of nature, I wander the greatest disaster Equestria has ever seen. 

... I will escape eventually, and when I do, I hope my friends still see me as Twilight Sparkle, and not the monster that hides among the ruins. 

I come here every week. I still believe you can hear me, and I like to pretend you weren't taken away. Instead, I'm forced to face , whether I truly believe this is my reality or not. How would you feel waking up from a dream that seems so real? How would you feel when all your dreams are ripped from your soul?

Right now, this could be all a dream.

How am I supposed to know which is which?

Five long years have passed since Octavia last saw Vinyl. Five years since that painful, horrid night. And now, Octavia want's to rekindle an old dying flame. But will Vinyl accept it's warmth, or snuff it out forever?

Forever. A word that holds meaning. A word that holds promise. Forever. That was the word Vinyl whispered to Octavia as she went on tour. Octavia knew Vinyl would return. After all, Vinyl was her forever. But the months go on and Vinyl's calls become fewer. Her texts start everyday and become once or twice on the weekends. Octavia's forever is fading. But Vinyl will come back. She has to come back. Why wouldn't she come back? She had promised a forever. Forever was forever, but promises can always be broken

Every party must come to an end. After the party's over, some things always get left behind.
Vinyl Scratch, better known to Equestria as DJ Pon-3, is dead.

Will Octavia learn to cope with her loss, or will she give in to despair?

We always were kinda an unlikely couple, but I don't think I would've had it any other way. We loved each other and that was always good enough for me. And now, after she's gone, I visit her every week, bringing with me a flower and a song.

Written for a one hour Hearts and Hooves day writing challenge.

Octavia takes a walk to her favorite hillside, along the way she remembers the times she's shared with her love, Vinyl Scratch.

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

Rainbow Dash isn't having a very good day. First she was in some dark place, then it turns out she's in the hospital. Oh, and she's apparently blind now.

Eventual Twidash!
