Ugh. Why does Octavia always have to be so formal. I would be fine if it was just at like fancy parties or something but she is always just formal talk, formal attire, bla bla bla. I wonder what would happen if I played some sort of prank on her? She would probably flip her lid. I have to test that theory some time. I should probably go downstairs and eat now. Why is it so hard to get out of bed in the morning?

These thoughts drifted around Vinyl's mind as she remarkably slowly got out of bed. She rose up and started walking to the door, but stopped. 

Hmm, I should clean my window sometime. Ha, I wonder what Octy would say if she knew I had a thought like that.

Vinyl trudged down the stairs and reached the bottom, hearing a conversation in the room to her left. She walked in and said, "Morning."

"Oh I see you finally managed to move Vinyl, and good morning." Replied Octavia.

"Hi Vinyl, I made some eggs and toast for breakfast! Take as much as you want." Said Vinyl's second roommate Derpy Hooves.

Vinyl eagerly stumbled over and grabbed a plate putting two slices of toast and two eggs onto it.
She sat down at the table and started stuffing her face with food. As she ate she noticed Octavia looking at her strangely.

"What?" She asked.

"Oh nothing." Replied Octavia.

"Come on Octy I can tell something is bothering you. You're making a face."

"Fine. It's just that you always eat rather sloppily."

"Oh come on! Loosen up a little bit. You're always so strict and formal."

"I'm just trying to maintain a positive image for myself! We are renting a house in Canterlot after all!"

"Still, you need to not be so dignified all the time!"

"Oh, Vinyl I'm surprised you know a word that's as big as dignified."

"YOU TWO NEED TO STOP ARGUING RIGHT NOW!" 

Derpy looked at both of them ashamed. Vinyl and Octavia both put their heads down and looked at the floor. Octavia looked up at Vinyl sorrowfully. Vinyl kept looking at the floor.

"Vinyl, I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean it things just got out of hand and-"

"It's fine." Said Vinyl.

"No Vinyl I really mean that I'm sorry-"

"I said it's fine!" 

Octavia looked down again, walked over to the sink and started cleaning out her plate. Vinyl kept staring at the ground. Octavia put her plate away and headed to the front door. She looked down in despair. She took one last look at Vinyl, who was still looking away.

"I have to go to practice I should be at the normal lunch place."

With that Octavia left the house. Vinyl got up from her chair and went to the stairs. But before she could go up, Derpy stopped her.

"She really does mean she's sorry."

"Uh-huh." 

With that, Vinyl went to her bedroom and Derpy was left alone to clean her plate and go to the post office.
