//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Refound Love // by GamerTag //------------------------------// A small white unicorn mare ran down the halls excitedly. As she passed the large windows of the apartment, her gray and light blue mane glowed off the sunlight. Once she had made it to her destination, she opened the door. Her red eyes scanned the room until they landed on two lumps on the bed. The mare ran before jumping on top one of the lumps. Said lump made an "oof!" noise before groaning. "Remix, what in Equestria are you doing here?" Octavia questioned, extremely tired. "What am I doing in here? Sweet Melody, Lyra, and Bon Bon are going to be here soon!" Remix exclaimed. "They aren't going to be here until" Octavia froze as she looks at the clock. Oh bloody hell, I overslept! "Remix, would you mind making me some coffee?" Octavia asked. "Already done!" Remix exclaimed. Octavia smiled before kissing her daughter on the head, "Thank you, sweetie. I'll be out there soon." Remix squealed with excitement before rushing outside once again. "And you said teaching her how to make us coffee was a bad idea." Octavia sighed, "Good morning Vinyl." "Sup, babe," Vinyl greeted as she turned toward Octavia. "I also still stand by what I said," Octavia explained, "She is only ten after all." Vinyl just smirked before leaning in to kiss her wife. Octavia, of course, stopped her. "I'm not kissing you until you brush your teeth," Octavia reminded. "Awww," Vinyl pouted, "Not even today?" Octavia smiled, "You actually remember what today is?" Vinyl smirked, "May fifth, our anniversary. How could I forget?" Octavia raised her eyebrow, "Well, you've forgotten about last year." "Y-yeah, that's true. But this year is important!" "And why is that, my love?" Octavia questioned. "Because it's our fifteenth anniversary," Vinyl grinned. Octavia's eyes went wide, "Oh my Celestia." "We should call it the year of the Caramel." Octavia laughed, "Don't even joke!" While at this moment the two had been talking about Caramel, in actuality Caramel was a topic almost never mentioned. He would be mentioned at most once or twice a year. Vinyl just smirked before she started kissing a now giggling Octavia. The two continued to kiss each other repeatedly before they heard, "Are you guys done making out?! The coffee's getting cold!" "She is way too smart for her age," Octavia stated. Vinyl smirked, "She got that from you." "And she got her energy from you," Octavia teased, "A dangerous combination." With that said, the two finally left their bedroom, Vinyl grabbing her glasses and Octavia grabbing her bow tie. While Octavia went into the bathroom to freshen up, Vinyl went into the kitchen to drink her coffee. "Morning Remix," Vinyl greeted, ruffling the filly's mane. Remix giggled, "Morning mom!" Vinyl smirked before taking a sip of her coffee and starting to make breakfast. After a few minutes, Octavia exited the bathroom, with her pink bow tie on and her mane in its normal state. Octavia took a sip of her coffee and sighed, "Thank you for making these, Remix." "No problem, Mum!" Remix replied before seating herself at the table. Octavia quickly started to set the table before she seated herself next to her daughter. Vinyl followed after Octavia and the three started eating breakfast. ~•~•~•~•~ Once the three of them were done eating, the door buzzed and of course, Lyra, Bon Bon, and Sweet Melody entered. Sweet Melody was a small green filly with a white, pink, and purple mane. She was also a unicorn, who was the same age as Remix. The two fillies hugged one another while Lyra and Bon Bon sat next to Octavia and Vinyl on the couch. "Happy anniversary you two!" Bon Bon exclaimed. "Thank you, Bon Bon," Octavia thanked. "Yeah, thanks, Bonnie," Vinyl seconded. "How was your anniversary?" Octavia questioned. When Octavia finally got her divorce from Caramel, almost a week after Lyra proposed to Bon Bon. Lyra, of course, had help from Vinyl and Beauty Brass (against her will). Vinyl ended up proposing to Octavia almost two years after the divorce, on of course May fifth. This meant that the four mares had anniversaries extremely close to one another. Once Lyra and Bon Bon were married, the two ended up moving to ponyvillie. The four mares continued to speak, however, their minds started to wonder slightly and they found themselves hearing in on their fillies conversation. "Wow, you have a crush on the new mare?" Sweet Melody exclaimed. "Shut up!" Remix exclaimed, a large blush forming on her face. "Well I mean I guess she's kind of cool," Sweet Melody admitted, "But her stepfather is really weird." "Caramel?" Remix asked. "You know his name?! Are you stalking them?" Sweet Melody asked with a smirk. "What?! No!" Remix replied, her blush growing, "She just told me!" The four mares looked at one another. "No bucking way," Vinyl whispered. "Vinyl! Language!" Octavia scolded. "Did you guys ever get those restraining orders?" Bon Bon asked, concerned. Vinyl blinked, "Shit I knew I forgot something." "Vinyl!" Octavia hissed. "Well, you know what they say," Lyra started, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I guess I'll never really get my fairytale ending, Octavia thought to herself in realization, no one really ever will. Life just doesn't work like that, we have our ups and downs, but the trick is, always fight for the ups. Octavia looked over at Vinyl and smiled before grabbing Vinyl's hoof. Because you never know how far that up it'll take you.
