The wind blew Octavia's mane back as she stood on the balcony.
She sighed, trying to relieve her stress.
The cellist smiled as she felt somepony wrap their hooves around her barrel.
"Well, doesn't this seem familiar?" Octavia asked with a small smirk.
Vinyl smiled, her eyes closed, "Shut up and come back to bed so we can cuddle."
Octavia sighed solemnly, "I can't Vinyl. I need to go soon."
"Wait why?" Vinyl asked, opening her eyes and looking and Octavia.
"It's today."
Vinyl didn't need any more explanation, she just kissed Octavia, surprising the mare.
"Let's go get some breakfast at a diner or something," Vinyl offered.
Octavia smiled, "Alright."
Quickly, a now excited Vinyl rushed towards her bedroom to grab her glasses. Octavia went inside, laughing at the antics of her marefriend.
Once they were all ready to go, the two mares made their way to a diner only a few blocks away from the apartment. Once they got there, the two took a seat next to one another in a booth. After a few minutes, the two ordered their food and started waiting.
It was a Saturday, and exactly a month since Vinyl and Octavia had gotten back together. It was also exactly a year since something else happened.
"I can't believe I'm getting the divorce, today of all days," Octavia commented as the two walked down the street.
Vinyl raised her eyebrow, "Why? What makes today so special?"
Octavia smiled sadly, "It's Caramel and I's anniversary."
Vinyl’s jaw dropped, "So now you've been married to Caramel for-"
"Sixteen years," Octavia sighed, "I'd prefer if the divorce happened next week.
"Why?"
Octavia suddenly kissed Vinyl's cheek, surprising the mare.
"Because it will be exactly a year since I first started working for you."
Vinyl blinked, "It's already been a whole year?"
"I know!" Octavia laughed, "It seems like just yesterday I was walking into your office for the first time."
Vinyl grinned, "Remember how I poured a bunch of bugs and snakes onto you?"
Octavia glared at her marefriend, "Yes."
This glare only lasted for a second before the two started laughing.
"We've had some great times together, Octy," Vinyl said, wrapping her hoof around the mare.
"Yes we have Vinyl," Octavia agreed, "and hopefully, we'll have much more."
Vinyl suddenly smirked, "Does this mean that we've been dating more than you and Caramel dated before he proposed to you the first time?"
"Somehow, yes," Octavia commented, "Honestly, I would have assumed I would have killed you by now."
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Vinyl pouted.
Octavia giggled, "No, I suppose you're not."
With that said she kissed the DJ on the head.
"Hey, Tavi," Vinyl started, "I've been wanting to talk to you about something."
"Oh? And what is that Vinyl?" Octavia asked.
"I've been wondering what we're going to do now that the divorce is over. Like where are you going to live and stuff."
Octavia blinked, "Well I was going to attempt to keep my apartment but if that doesn't work I could always just get a new one."
"W-why don't you move in with me?" Vinyl stammered.
"What?"
"Well, we've been dating for a year and we work together," Vinyl grinned, "And we can sleep together more often if you know what I mean."
Octavia blushed before kicking Vinyl under the table.
Vinyl let out a yelp of pain before clutching her back hoof.
"That's for the last comment," Octavia explained, still blushing, "As for your offer, I think it's a wonderful idea."
Vinyl's eyes went wide, "Wait, really?"
"Well, I don't see why not," Octavia sighed, "That apartment is filled with terrible memories of Caramel and me, as that's been the only apartment we've ever shared, it would be nice to find a new place to go with my new life."
"Hell yeah!" Vinyl cheered, pumping her hoof into the air.
"It's also convenient for me as my ensemble works nearby," Octavia explained, "and also because your house is basically empty."
"It's not that bad," Vinyl commented.
"There are still moving boxes piled everywhere," Octavia stated, "And you've been living in your apartment for a few months now."
Vinyl scratched the back of her head sheepishly, "I just, haven't had the time?"
Octavia rolled her eyes, "I can also make sure you eat properly. Not just pop tarts and junk food."
"Hey! Pop tarts are awesome!" Vinyl argued.
"Yes, but they are a foal's breakfast snack made for weekday mornings so they can quickly get to school since they cannot get up very early. You're a grown mare quite capable of cooking on your own and of waking up at a proper time."
Vinyl opened and closed her mouth a few times. Before she just smirked.
"I'm still going to eat it."
Octavia sighed, "Of course you will."
"Here's your food," The waiter announced as she placed their food down in front of them.
Vinyl, of course, had pancakes, while Octavia decided to go with a healthy fruit salad.
While the two were eating, Vinyl suddenly paused.
"This place is good, but do you want to know my favorite place to eat?" Vinyl asked.
"Where?"
Vinyl smirked, "Between your back hoov-"
Octavia's blush reappeared as she kicked Vinyl again, a lot harder this time.
"Ow!"
Everypony in the diner looked towards them as they heard the cry of pain.
"Uh, the food's just a little hot! Nothing to worry about," Vinyl lied, causing everypony to go back to what they were doing.
Octavia just continued to glare at the DJ.
"This reminds me of the time I went to one of your shows," Vinyl commented.
"Oh? And why is that?"
"Because you keep kicking me!"
"You deserved it," Octavia said simply before she continued to eat her food.
Vinyl just pouted but didn't say anything.
The two continued to eat until Octavia looked at the clock.
"I think I should be leaving soon," Octavia explained, looking at Vinyl.
Normally, Vinyl would try to stop the cellist from leaving. Not because she wanted her all to herself like Caramel does, but because it was one of the ways Vinyl liked to flirt.
And Octavia wouldn't admit it to herself, but she extremely enjoyed Vinyl's flirting methods, even the more aggravating ones.
"Well, hey babe I won't stop you," Vinyl stated, lifting her hooves in the air, "It's your big moment, you shouldn't be late."
Octavia smiled before she started to leave.
"Wait, Tavi."
Octavia looked back at Vinyl.
"Can I go with you?"
Octavia shook her head, "Caramel will probably be in an even worse mood than he has been for the past year. Having you there would only make it worse."
Vinyl nodded her head, "Can I meet you after?"
"I was assuming you would."
Vinyl smirked, "Sweet."
With that said, Vinyl came up and kiss Octavia.
Normally the cellist would stop her in embarrassment, but she knew she would need this kiss to get through the final few steps.
Once they broke the kiss, Octavia flashed Vinyl one last smile before she left the diner. Vinyl watched as Octavia quickly hailed a taxi before they drove away.
Vinyl sighed, "Good luck Octavia."
~•~•~•~•~
Octavia walked out of the taxi. As soon as she was outside, she looked up at the courthouse.
A chill ran up her spine as she remembers what had happened the last time she was there.
Everything is okay between us now, Octavia remainders herself, you and Vinyl may even move in together!
That made Octavia smiled confidently.
"Well, I've come this far," Octavia said before she finally entered the courthouse.
Once inside, she immediately headed for the waiting area. There were many ponies there but only one really stood out to Octavia.
"Hello Octavia," Remedy Cure greeted, hugging the mare.
"Greetings Remedy Cure," Octavia said, returning the hug.
"So, how do you feel?" Remedy Cure asked once they broke the hug.
"Nervous, terrified, but excited," Octavia replied with a smile.
Remedy Cure returned the smile, "C'mon let's take a seat while we wait for us to be called."
Octavia nodded her head and the two took a seat.
"Is Caramel here yet?" Octavia asked.
Remedy Cure shook her head, "Not yet. Are you afraid he'll make a scene?"
Octavia sighed, "I KNOW he will cause a scene."
"Well, it doesn't matter now, there isn't anything he can do to stop the divorce now."
~•~•~•~•~
"Game over."
Vinyl groaned as the TV announced that she had died once again. She'd been playing video games ever since Octavia left. It was her attempt at calming herself down.
"Caramel better not try anything," Vinyl growled.
She used her controller to re-try before she started playing again. She continued to play until she suddenly remembered something.
"Can I meet you after?"
"I was assuming you would."
Then, an idea popped into the DJ's head.
Quickly, Vinyl grabbed her phone and called her best friend.
"Hey Vinyl, what's up?" Lyra greeted.
"Nothing much, I was hoping you could help me with something really important."
"Bonnie told me if it's anything illegal, I'm not allowed to do it."
Vinyl laughed, "Nah, this is legal. I want you to help me get everypony who went to the party to go to a bar at around-"
Vinyl paused to look at the time.
"Eightish."
"Everypony?" Lyra asked, hesitantly.
"Except Caramel's, Octavia’s, and my family," Vinyl corrected.
"Oh alright, I guess I can help with that."
"Cool, meet me at my apartment as soon as you can," Vinyl commanded before she hung up the phone.
Vinyl quickly started to make a list of the ponies she remembers, desperately wanting to set her plan into action.
After a few minutes, Vinyl heard a buzz. She quickly let Lyra in.
"So, may I ask why you want to get so many ponies into one bar?"
"I mean, I don't know if I can tell you, or anypony," Vinyl explained, "But we're going to throw a party, a DJ PON3 party!"
"Oh Celestia, you're calling yourself DJ PON3 in the third pony again, aren't you?"
"DJ PON3 does what DJ PON3 wants, so you better not complain as DJ PON3 is your boss," Vinyl threatened.
"Oh do realize you said DJ PON3 three times in one sentence?"
"DJ PON3 demands you to shut up."
"And now you're not even talking in the third pony."
"Whatever, it's time we started working," Vinyl stated.
Lyra sighed, "Alright. What do we do first?"
"Contact everypony to meet us at a club."
"Which club?"
"Any club," Vinyl grinned, "Well, a club that will let me perform."
"Oh-Kay? Wait are you just doing this so they'll all listen to your music?"
"What? No! I have an actually good reason," Vinyl explained before mumbling, "this time."
"So, who are we inviting?" Lyra questioned, looking around the apartment.
Vinyl quickly handed the lyrist her list, and Lyra quickly scanned it.
"So we're not inviting Octavia?"
"She'll be there, don't worry," Vinyl reassured.
Lyra just rolled her eyes, "Okay, I think we can do this."
"Sweet," Vinyl cheered, "How about you get the gig, and I'll make the calls?"
"Good enough for me," Lyra said with a shrug before handing the paper back to Vinyl.
Vinyl pumped her hoof in the air before she quickly went to grab her phone. The DJ also quickly handed her laptop to Lyra, who was going to use her phone to contact night clubs.
"Wait, shouldn't I call your agent to do this?" Lyra questioned.
"If you do that then there'll be a crowd there," Vinyl explained.
"Isn't that what you should want?" Lyra asked.
"I mean, having a crowd of fans there would be pretty cool," Vinyl admitted, "But this isn't for me, this is for Tavi."
"Oh so now you give me some kind of clue as to what you're doing!" Lyra exclaimed, "Wait..... are you proposing to her?!"
Vinyl blinked, "Uh.... Would Octy want that? I would assume she would want to wait awhile longer before we go that far."
"No! She's still married! At least wait until she is getting the divorce!"
"So, when she gets the divorce, propose to her?" Vinyl asked, looking at Lyra.
"I mean that depends on when the divorce is. Were you actually thinking about proposing to her today?"
"Nope! You just started talking about it so I assumed it was time for me to do that," Vinyl paused, "Wait, why the hell did I think that? You've been dating Bonnie for like eighteen years now."
Lyra blinked, "Shit, has it really been that long?"
"Yeah dude, you guys started dating in friggin high school," Vinyl reassured, "Why the hell haven't you proposed to her yet?"
"I don't know, I kept thinking it was too early," Lyra slid down the couch, "I've been DATING Bonnie longer than Octavia's been married to Caramel."
"Technically, longer than both the time they spend dating and married," Vinyl corrected.
"M-maybe I should do it today," Lyra suggested.
Vinyl cringed, "I mean, you can, it's just that's it Octy and Caramel's anniversary."
"Oh... Oh! Is that why you want to throw this party? To cheer Octavia up or something?" Lyra asked.
"Y-yes?" Vinyl lied, unsure.
"Well, isn't that sweet," Lyra teased with a smile.
Vinyl stuck her tongue out at her in response.
Lyra just shook her head before turning her attention back to the laptop.
"I mean," Vinyl started, "you could do it today, or wait another day. Either way, I'm totally willing to help you out."
Lyra smiled, "Thanks. I think I'll wait just a little longer."
"But not next week!" Vinyl exclaimed, "That's the anniversary of when Tavi first started working for us!"
Lyra blinked before grinning, "Did Octavia tell you that?"
"Maybe," Vinyl replied before she paused, "Shit, I should write the date down."
Quickly, the DJ grabbed a piece of paper before pausing again, "What day did she join again?"
Lyra laughed, "She's your marefriend, shouldn't you know?"
"Do YOU remember what day was the first day you saw Bonnie?"
Lyra opened and closed her mouth a few times before just saying, "Shut up."
Vinyl laughed before putting her pen back on the paper, "Now tell me the day!"
Lyra rolled her eyes, "Octavia joined your office on May fifth."
Vinyl wrote the date down, "Thanks, I'll propose to her someday in the future, and that can be our wedding day."
"Huh, that's actually a good idea," Lyra commented, "How many romance movies did you steal that from?"
"Probably all of them," Vinyl replied with a smirk.
Lyra rolled her eyes with a smile, "Let's just started working on this."
With that said, the two continued working on the party.
~•~•~•~•~
Remedy Cure and Octavia had been waiting for almost a two hours at this point, but even with all the time passed, Octavia still felt as stressed as ever.
Remedy Cure continued to reassure the mare that Caramel would not show up, as it was already so late.
However, the cellist still had a feeling in the back of her head that Remedy Cure wasn't correct.
This feeling, of course, grew when Caramel walked through the front doors.
This caused Octavia's blood to run cold once again, and for Remedy Cure's eyes to go wide in both shock and fear.
Caramel scanned the room until his eyes landed on the two mares. Once they made eye contact, Caramel quickly started to change over towards the mares.
"You're really going to continue this?!" Caramel yelled once he was finally in front of them, "And on our anniversary?! Are you kidding me?! You're such a bitch! And un-"
"Excuse me," Remedy Cure interrupted, "I would prefer if you didn't speak to my client in that manner."
"And I would prefer if this divorce didn't happen!" Caramel exclaimed.
Caramel then sat down next to Octavia and started to sob uncontrollably.
Ponies attempted to look like they weren't watching, but Octavia knew they were seeing this.
Tears started to fall down from Octavia's eyes as well. It wasn't because of the same reason Caramel was sobbing, but more because she was afraid.
She'd never thought what would happen after the divorce, she'd become so used to being in such a terrible state with Caramel that she was slightly afraid for everything to change.
But she was also excited. Excited to finally be able to date Vinyl without a lurking fear of Caramel, or without guilt for the stallion.
She'd finally be able to enjoy her life.
"Are you okay?" Remedy Cure asked, extremely concerned.
Octavia just nodded her head with a smile before mouthing, "Thank you."
Remedy Cure gladly returned the smile.
And that's when their names were called.
Octavia somehow couldn't believe it, that their names were called and that this was actually happen.
Octavia quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, it was time.
Remedy Cure held out a hoof and lifted Octavia off the ground.
"Traitor, traitor, TRAITOR!" Caramel continued to yell as the three made their way to the courtroom.
Octavia ignored him though, she was too ready for this moment to deal with Caramel.
As they finally entered the room, Octavia could finally accept that what was happening was truly there.
And Octavia was happy.
~•~•~•~•~
"So, why are you calling us again?" Fredric asked.
"For the hundredth time, it's for a party!" Vinyl exclaimed.
"What's the party for?!" Symphony asked for what seemed like the tenth time.
Instead of responding, Vinyl again started to chuckle.
"Why do you keep laughing instead of answering my question?!" Symphony exclaimed, frustrated.
"Sorry," Vinyl apologized, still laughing, "I just can't get over the fact that you're both lying in bed together. As a non-virgin, I KNOW what that means."
"I'm hanging up the phone now," Fredric stated sternly.
"No, no, no, no, no, no! Wait!" Vinyl exclaimed before Fredric hung up the phone, "Listen, the party is to cheer Octy up since today is her and Caramel's anniversary. I am trying to get all of her friends to be there!"
Vinyl heard some whispering from the other end before hearing Fredric sigh.
"Fine, we'll be there. Where and what time?"
"Yesssss!" Vinyl cheered quietly, "Nightfall, eight tonight."
"We'll be there!" Symphony exclaimed from the other end of the phone.
Before Vinyl could hang up the phone, she heard Symphony speak once more.
"Oh! And Vinyl!" Vinyl put her ear back to the phone, "Thank you for being such a good marefriend for Octavia."
Vinyl smiled, "Heh, I try."
With that said, she hung up the phone.
"Alright, that's two ponies down," Vinyl cheered before turning towards Lyra, "How’s your conversation going Ly-"
"No, it's not a shipping party! Why would that even exist," Lyra paused as the pony on the other end spoke, "Be-beauty- BEAUTY BRASS! Nopony is going to propose! Oh, my Luna- Beauty just give the phone to Harpo. P-please, just. Beauty Brass! Holy shit! Stop talking about Vinyl and Octavia getting married! Just listen to me! Oh, my Celestia- Beau-"
"Why would I propose to Octy if Lyra and Bonnie aren't even married?" Vinyl yelled, causing Lyra to look at her with terrified eyes.
There was a long silence on the phone before an ear bleeding sequel came out, making Lyra practically throw the phone away from her.
"Yep!" Vinyl yelled once the squealing was done, "And we'll maybe talk about Lyra and Bonnie getting married if you go to the party with Harpo at Nightfall, eight tonight!"
"We'll be there!" Beauty Brass yelled from the phone before it hung up.
Vinyl pulled out her list and quickly checked off the for ponies who they'd just finished inviting.
"I-I hate you so much right now I can't even describe it," Lyra stated coldly, making Vinyl grin, "There will be a reckoning."
"Yeah, yeah. Good luck with that," Vinyl said waving her hoof, "Let's just move on to the next few calls we have to make.
Lyra sighed, "Who's left?"
Vinyl looked down at her list, "Sassaflash, Lucky Streak, Remedy Cure, Neon, and.... that's it!"
Lyra raised her eyebrow, "Shouldn't you also invite Octavia and your families?"
"Nah," Vinyl replied, waving her hoof, "Old ponies are so boring."
Lyra just rolled her eyes.
Vinyl quickly pulled out her phone, "Alright, so I'll call Lucky Streak and Sassaflash, and you can call Remedy Cure and Neon."
Vinyl started to dial only for Lyra to interrupt her.
"Great plan but one problem. I don't have Remedy Cure's number."
Vinyl opened and closed her mouth a few times, "Shit, I don't either."
Vinyl then started to grin, "But I know who does."
Lyra's eyes went wide, "Oh hell no! I am NOT calling Beauty Brass again!"
"But Beaut is the only one other than Octy who has her number!" Vinyl whined.
"Not true! Symphony AND Sassaflash have her number!"
"Symphony is too busy having sex with Fredric," Vinyl explained, "And Sassaflash.... Uh..... crap."
Lyra smirked.
"Wow, you're a killjoy."
"Yeah, yeah. Let's see what you say when Beauty Brass is freaking out over your wedding plans."
Vinyl rolled her eyes before dialing Sassaflash's number.
It rang once before she picked up.
"Yo," Sassaflash greeted.
"Hey, it's Vinyl. Wanna go to a party at Nightfall, eight tonight?"
"Hell yeah, I do!" Sassaflash exclaimed.
"Alright, sweet. Could you also text Remedy Cure about it so that she'll come there?”
"I gotchu," Sassaflash replied.
"Alright, thanks, dude, see you then."
With that said, Vinyl hung up the phone.
"Well, that was easy," Vinyl commented, "How's this conversation going for you Lyra-"
"No Neon, you can't bring drugs!" Lyra exclaimed, her hoof against her face, "Why? Because it's a bad idea! My Luna, just go to the party, okay?" Lyra paused as Neon said something, "Okay, cool, see you then."
Once she hung up, Lyra sighed, "Why do I get all the crazy ponies?"
Vinyl laughed, which Lyra quickly joined in.
"Alight, just one more call and we're all good!" Vinyl exclaimed.
~•~•~•~•~
After another few hours, mostly delayed due to how much Caramel was sobbing and protesting, the case was nearly over.
Once they had all seated themselves, the judge talked about the conditions of the divorce with them, as they went over exactly what was going to happen with certain things once they were separated.
The whole time, Octavia was silently freaking out, thankfully, Remedy Cure stayed cool and calm throughout the whole thing, even when Caramel continued to be a nuisance.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of talking about money, property, and health, the judge finally finished.
"You two are now officially divorced," The judge announced.
Octavia had to use all her strength to not start crying tears of joy right there.
However, Caramel didn't try.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screamed the loudest Octavia had ever heard before he then banged his hooves against the table and continued to sob.
Remedy Cure titled her head towards the exit, signally to Octavia that they should go.
Octavia nodded her head and the two snuck out.
Once they were outside the courtroom, Octavia quickly pulled Remedy Cure into a bone crushing hug before she broke down and started crying tears of joy.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Octavia exclaimed through tears.
Remedy Cure rubbed her back, "I'm glad I could help."
Remedy Cure looked down, tears forming in her eyes while Octavia continued to hug her.
I did it.
I helped her.
Just like how other ponies should have helped me.
The two stayed there for a little longer before they finally broke the hug.
Octavia wiped the tears from her eyes, smiling all the while.
"While we're here, do you want to get a restraining order from Caramel?"
Octavia shook her head, "No, but I will return here soon with Vinyl to get her one."
"That makes sense," Remedy Cure agreed, "But are you sure it's safe that you don't get one?"
Octavia sighed, "I already feel a little bad for Caramel, I don't want to make it even worse."
Remedy Cure just looked at Octavia unsure.
"Alright, fine. I'll do it when I take Vinyl here to get one."
"Thank you," Remedy Cure said, pleased with herself.
The two walked outside and down the stairs of the courthouse. There, they found Vinyl standing, waiting for Octavia.
"Hey, Tav-"
Vinyl would never get the chance to finish that sentence as Octavia suddenly kissed Vinyl on the lips.
Vinyl reflexively started kissing back while Remedy Cure watched the two happily.
Once they broke the kiss, Vinyl smirked.
"I could get used to that."
Octavia giggled, "Don't. It's not going to happen very often."
Vinyl laughed, "So, I'm guessing it went well."
Octavia smiled and nodded, "It went perfectly."
"Awesome!" Vinyl cheered, making Octavia smile.
Octavia then looked over at Remedy Cure, "Do you think we should get the restraining order now?"
"Well, you need evidence as to why you don't want Caramel near you two, so I suggest waiting."
Octavia nodded her head.
Vinyl then took out her phone and looked at the time.
"Shit! Tavi, we gotta go!"
"Uh, al- oh!" Octavia exclaimed as Vinyl started dragging her, "Vinyl! Ugh! Bye, Remedy Cure!"
"Oh, Remedy Cure! Sassaflash texted you!" Vinyl called.
"Wait, you didn't tell anypony about the divorce? Did you?" Octavia asked, looking at Vinyl.
Vinyl smirked, "Nope, don't worry babe you still get to tell everypony the great news!"
Meanwhile, Remedy Cure watched the two ponies until they were out of sight. Once they were gone, Remedy Cure quickly checked her phone.
'Yo Remedy, Vinyl says there is going to be a party at Nightfall at eight tonight. You better go or Imma be pissed.'
Remedy Cure just shook her head at Sassaflash's odd way of texting. She then looked towards the direction Vinyl and Octavia had vanished to and smiled.
A surprise party for Octavia, Vinyl? You're definitely much sweeter than I first assumed. I better get there fast.
With that thought in mind, Remedy Cure quickly hailed a taxi.
~•~•~•~•~
"Vinyl, we've been walking for almost an hour now!" Octavia exclaimed.
Vinyl laughed, "What's wrong Octy? I thought I was the unathletic one."
Octavia rolled her eyes, "That's not the problem. I just don't understand what you're trying to do."
Vinyl put her hoof around Octavia, "Maybe I just want to walk about Mainhatten with my newly divorced marefriend."
Octavia sighed happily before leaning into Vinyl, "Flattery will only get you so far."
"Hey, we've been dating for a long time, something tells me that flattery isn't going to stop taking me far."
Octavia just rolled her eyes again.
"Also we're here babe," Vinyl announced.
Octavia looked up to see that they were at the same nightclub Octavia first saw Vinyl perform at.
"Nightfall? Why are we here?" Octavia questioned looking at a smirking Vinyl.
"Well, let's go in and see," Vinyl replied before leading her marefriend inside.
Meanwhile, a few minutes before that, everypony who was invited by Lyra and Vinyl were sitting inside the club next to the bar area.
"Lyra, why is Beauty Brass looking at us like she is going to burst from joy?" Bon Bon asked, looking over at Lyra.
Lyra just laughed nervously, "Ignore her, please."
"Of course Vinyl would invite us to something and not even show up," Fredric commented.
"It's a surprise Fredric," Symphony explained, "Vinyl is probably out getting Octavia."
"Jeez, calm down Freddie, she'll be here," Sassaflash commented.
"I'm surprised that we all got here so early, yet we're still complaining that Vinyl is not here," Lucky Streak pointed out.
"Yes, we just need to be patient," Remedy Cure agreed.
Right when that was said, Octavia and Vinyl entered the nightclub.
"Hey, Octavia!" Everypony greeted, making Octavia freeze in shock.
"W-what are you all doing here?" Octavia asked.
"Vinyl invited us and gave no context!" Beauty Brass exclaimed.
"She DID," Symphony corrected, "To cheer Octavia up because today is her and Caramel's anniversary."
"I still believe that's a bullshit response," Fredric argued.
"Same here," Lucky Streak agreed.
While the ponies debated for the true reason Vinyl had invited them there, Remedy Cure made eye contact with Octavia. The two shared a smile.
Suddenly, everypony heard Vinyl speaking.
"Hey, everypony!" Vinyl greeted, causing the crowd to cheer, "DJ PON3 is here to party! Tonight's show is dedicated to my marefriend, Octavia!"
With that said, Vinyl started playing a song, and the crowd immediately started dancing to it.
Octavia blushed in embarrassment when she heard her name get called, however, it overjoyed her.
She then turned towards her friends who were all just looking over at Octavia confused.
"I'm officially divorced from Caramel!" Octavia exclaimed happily.
All of her friend's jaws dropped. After a second of recovery, everypony flooded over towards Octavia.
Everypony asked her questions, congratulated her and so on.
"Seriously guys?"
Everypony turned to find that Vinyl had returned from her spot at the DJ stand and she was now standing there.
"It's time to party!"
Octavia response was to kiss Vinyl smack dab in front of everypony, to which the whole club cheered on.
Once they broke the kiss, everypony headed to the bar and started ordering drinks.
Once they all had their drinks, they made a toast to Octavia's divorce and drank.
"I still can't believe it's finally happened," Octavia admitted.
"That's not surprising," Symphony commented.
"Are you excited?!" Beauty Brass exclaimed.
Octavia laughed, "Of course!"
Bon Bon smiled, "Good."
"Damn, you ponies REALLY know how to party."
That voice.
Octavia's head snapped up behind the bar, where a mare stood, juggling three glasses.
"M-Moonshine?!" Octavia exclaimed:
"Who?" Everypony asked confused.
"Hey! You remember me!" Moonshine cheered, "Yes, it is I, Moonshine, the queen of Tartarus."
"What?" Beauty Bras asked confused.
"Nah, I'm kidding! Does nopony else here know who I am?" Moonshine asked.
Everypony else shook their heads.
"Well, let's see. I was the bartender at Vinyl's gig-"
"No, you weren't! You locked the bartender in the closet!" Octavia exclaimed.
Moonshine chuckled, "Yeah, it took A LOT of laughing gas to knock him out. Anyway, I was also that voice in that Halloween house you four went in. Oh, and I also like, called Remedy Cure once or whatever, and I was that voice in the mansion!"
Vinyl's eyes went wide, "WHAT?!"
"Voice?" Bon Bon questioned, raising her eyebrow towards her friends.
"I was also the pony who invited you all to that mansion!"
This, made everypony to freeze. Their jaws dropped and their eyes wide.
"Y-YOU DID THAT?!" Fredric yelled.
"Yep! The jigs up!" Moonshine replied, "I'm also the greatest matchmaker in the land!"
"Hey! I'M the greatest matchmaker in the land!" Beauty Brass argued, "Give me one good couple you've put together!"
Moonshine pointed towards Lucky Streak and Remedy Cure who were passionately making out.
Vinyl and Sassaflash fell out of their chairs laughing at this, while everypony looked on in shock.
Beauty Brass blinked before quickly turning towards Moonshine, "Teach me your ways, master."
Moonshine shrugged, "Alcohol, mostly."
Octavia facehoofed.
"Well, I think that's enough for my Camino," Moonshine stated, "I hope you both have a great time together! Oh, wait. I already know what will happen, bye!"
"Wait no!" Everypony yelled before Moonshine teleported away, leaving the group confused.
"Well, that was weird," Vinyl commented after a minute of silence.
Everypony just nodded.
Finally, Lucky Streak and Remedy Cure stopped making out.
Remedy Cure then sighed sadly, “What am I going to do about my documentary.”
“Documentary?” A yellow pegasus asked with a light blue mane.
“Yeah, it’s about my friend having an affair with a DJ because her husband is a bitch,” Remedy Cure explained drunkenly .
“What’s wrong with it?” The pegasus asked.
“Well my dear…” Remedy Cure waited for the mare to finish.
“Gamertag,” The mare announced.
“My dear Gamertag, I have no time to finish it!” Remedy Cure exclaimed.
“Well… Maybe I can finish it? Well, I could make it a book if you want,” Gamertag offered, “I’ve been trying to improve my writing.”
Remedy Cure smiled, “That would be perfect.”
"So, shall we party?" Sassaflash asked.
With that said, everypony got up and went towards the dance floor. The start to an amazing night.

"Thanks," Caramel sighed as he was handed the ticket.
The stallion walked towards his track, attempting to not cry.
After a few minutes, the train rushed into the station. As ponies rushed out, Caramel entered the train, ignoring ponies who pushed past him.
He found his seat next to a stallion.
Caramel sighed, I don't even get the window seat.
He seated himself and waited.
"The train is now making it's way to Canterlot!" The train conductor announced.
As the train started moving, Caramel started to sniffle, it was the most pain he'd ever been in.
"Are you alright?" The stallion asked, putting down his newspaper.
"Mind your own business," Caramel hissed.
"Yeah, no," The stallion replied, "If you're going to be crying for the whole ride than I want to know what the hell is wrong."
Caramel sighed, "You know what? Fuck it. I just lost the love of my life to a DJ."
The stallion raised his eyebrow, "And how did this happen?"
"They had an affair against me since Octavia kept wanting to get a divorce!" Caramel growled, "She's such a traitor."
The stallion sighed, looking sad, "I've felt like that before."
Caramel looked over at the stallion, looking slightly surprised.
"There was this mare I was married to," The stallion chuckled, "I treated her like utter shit. I was so mad when she left me, I hit her!"
"What?!" Caramel exclaimed, "Even I never hit Octavia!"
"I know! Listen, we all have things we regret okay?" The stallion explained, "She was my everything. Honestly, I still wish that I could see her again."
"Listen," The stallion started, "Take this as a note on your behavior. You need to move on and maybe one day, you'll be able to make it up to Octavia."
Caramel scoffed, "What do you know?!"
With that said, Caramel got up and sat somewhere else.
The stallion sighed before looking out the window.
"I miss you, Remedy Cure."

"Thank you for inviting everypony Vinyl, it was very sweet," Octavia said, her head against Vinyl's chest as the two lay on the bed.
"Anytime babe," Vinyl replied.
Octavia sighed, "You know you're going to have to help me move my things in here tomorrow?"
"Oh joy," Vinyl said sarcastically.
Octavia chuckled before she turned herself to face Vinyl.
"How about I make it up to you?" Octavia asked seductively.
Octavia took Vinyl's increase in breathing as a yes as she moves in to kiss Vinyl.
Sixteen years ago today she thought she had had her fairytale ending. But it turns out it was only the start of the adventure. This was the fairy tale ending she wanted. Sure it wasn't a normal story or even a normal ending, but she didn't care. She'd found love, and she was happy.
