//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Victoria Cello Returns // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// It's a sunny day outside as Octavia walks to the train station to greet her sister. "I'm so glad we're getting along now," sighs Octavia. "I actually enjoy her visits now." A few minutes later, she arrives at the train station and is greeted in a great big hug by her older sister. "Hey Tivy," says Victoria with a smile. "It's good to see you, too," responds Octavia, "but you know I hate that nickname." "Sorry, I forgot," responds Victoria with a laugh. "You still playing cello???" "Yes, and I've also taken up violin recently as well," responds Octavia. She then helps her sister with her stuff and they head back to Octavia's house. Once they are back at the house, the two sisters drop the bags and Octavia gets water going for tea. "So, when are you going to let Vinyl put a ring on it?" asks Victoria. "Who knows?" responds Octavia with a smile. "That's for her to decide. Nonetheless, I do hope she'll do it soon. How about your romantic life, sis?" "Engaged," responds Victoria, "to a doctor named Steth Scope. He's so handsome, sweet, and nice. Our wedding is next year, in the spring." "Cool," responds Octavia. "What do you want to do while you're here over these three weeks?" "Anything, as long as it is with you. I do miss our quality sister times when we're apart from each other," responds Victoria. A few minutes later, the teapot begins to whistle and Octavia goes and grabs it off the stove. She then pours the water over two mugs with teabags inside. She then puts sugar in her sister's and honey in her own. She then takes the tea over to her sister, hands it to her, then sits down across from her. After the two finish their tea, the two go out on a walk throughout Ponyville. "This is nice," says Victoria with a smile and a sigh, "just taking a nice walk through town together." "Yeah, I agree," responds Octavia with a smile. After the two finish their walk, they stop into Sugar Cube Corner and sit down. A few minutes later, the two are greeted by Pinkie Pie. "Hello Octavia, hello Victoria, what can I get for y'all today?" "Chocolate milkshake for me," says Octavia. "I'll take a vanilla one," adds Victoria, "and a blueberry muffin too if you don't mind." "Ok! Coming right up!" responds Pinkie as she bounces off to fetch their orders. A few minutes later, Pinkie brings over the orders and places them in front of the two sisters. "Here you go," says Pinkie with a smile as she places the chocolate one in front of Octavia and the vanilla one and the muffin in front of Victoria. "Thank you," responds Octavia with a smile. She hands Pinkie a tip. Pinkie then takes it with her mane and bounces off. The two then happily chat as they sip on their milkshakes and as Victoria enjoys her muffin. "So," says Victoria as she finishes up the muffin, "will you be my mare of honor in the wedding next year?" "Of coarse, I wouldn't miss it," responds Octavia, "you're my sister." After the two finish up at Sugar Cube Corner, Octavia pays for the both of them and they leave. They then go home and get dressed up for the Lunar Eclipse Gala. Around three hours later, the two arrive at the gala and get their eclipse glasses. There, they witness the lunar eclipse with the other ponies. Once the eclipse is done, they go on to the dance floor and have a blast alongside every pony else. "This is so much fun," says Octavia with a laugh. "Yeah, I figured you would like this," responds Victoria. She lets out a little giggle. Octavia just smiles at her sister and lets out a little giggle, squeal, and even a bit of a snort back. "This is the best time I've had in a long time, thanks for that, sis." "No problem," responds Victoria, "I'm so glad we're actually getting close again after so long of not getting along or being close at all." "Me too," sighs Octavia.
