A Beautiful Melody

A Stroll Around the Town

Hello everypony, RainbowShy1241 here. I have been reading... ALOT of Vinyl x Octavia fics and grew rather fond of the pairing. So here I try my hoof at one hoping for the best. Now in almost all of these fics I've read they use Octavia's point of view, so I wanted to make one with Vinyl's. Enjoy everypony!

It was 11 in the morning. I looked at my nightside table before reaching out for my beloved sunglasses. Why do I always wear them you may ask? Well to be honest I don't even know, it just became a habit after doing it for so long. After slipping the shades on I slowly made my way out of bed stretching each limb as it touched the floor. Even though I woke up at a time most ponies would call late, I was still exhausted from last nights show. Not to mention being hungover, but seeing all those booze was so tempting. Not like I have anypony to look pretty for anyways. So I walked through my cyclone of an apartment slowly making my way to the bathroom, still half asleep where I vomited for the tenth time and took a shower to wake me up.

After my shower I could hear my stomach growl, I guess that means I'm hungry. So I made my way to the kitchen levitating the necessary supplies to make a bowl of cereal. Gently putting the ingredients on the table I combine the milk and... Whatever that was, I was too tired to read the box... After preparing the meal I began to eat. I spit out my first bite. “What is that!” Rubbing my eyes to then read what was on the box. 'Wheat Germ' Since when do I have this? Having lost my appetite I then decide to take a stroll around Canterlot

Walking through the streets of Canterlot wasn't what I would usually do after waking up, but I was way too bored to do anything else. I walked for a while, reading the store signs I pass every now and then. During the stroll I bumped into my friend Lyra who was sitting on a bench in a very Awkward position with her marefriend BonBon.

“Hey there Vinyl! Why are you up so early?” The mint green pony said as she chuckled the last word.

“I just woke up and wanted to take a little walk through the city... But what are you two doing in Canterlot?”

“Did you forget? We came to get you for BonBon's birthday party.” She said disappointed.

“Oh- Right... Sorry girls I completely forgot, but I guess since I'm early we still have time to get the present I kept in my closet.”

“You got me a present!” BonBon said jumping off the bench. “Oh boy what is it!”

“I can't tell you that. You're just gonna have to wait 'til we're at the party.”

“Let's just go get it so we can catch the train back to Ponyvillle.” Lyra said as she took the lead back to my apartment.

We didn't really speak much on the way. It was mostly BonBon trying to guess what her gift was.

“BonBon even if you answer right I'm still not gonna tell you.” I said smirking at the pony.

“So does that mean that I might have gotten it right?” The cream pony said raising a brow.

“Maybe.” I said as we entered the apartment. “You girls wait here. I'm going to get the present then we can be on our way.”

They both nodded and I rushed to grab a medium sized box from inside my closet. Seeing the box made BonBon jump numerous times, much like Pinkie Pie would.

“Come on everypony let's go!” She said as we made our way to the train station.

After getting our tickets we waited for the train to arrive. During that time there was a grey mare holding what looked like a cello case on her back. As much as I hate to admit it... She was gorgeous. As I stared at her I got a poke from Lyra.

“Vinyl... What are you looking at?” She asked, but I was to busy staring at that pony. Man, does she ever have a nice flank. “Vinyl!”

“Oh... What were you saying?”

“You were staring at that pony, weren't you.” Lyra said while a smirk grew from her lips.

“What can I say... She's hot.” Very, very hot! I thought to myself.

“I didn't know you were into mares?” BonBon asked.

“Well... Um...” I ran out of words to say all of a sudden.

“Come on Vinyl. Of all ponies to be afraid of telling this to.” Lyra said scooting over to her marefriend. “Why don't you go talk to her?”

“I can't Lyra. What if she isn't into mares.”

“Only one way to find out!” The unicorn replied before pushing me off the seat.

“Fine.” I said before walking towards the mare. My heart was racing, I was still thinking of what to say not paying attention to where I was going and I bumped into her. We both collapsed onto each other.

“Ouch! Watch where you're going!” She said in a thick accent, almost British but not completely. Actually, more like just some fancy English.

“Sorry 'bout that.” I said as I helped her up. “My names Vinyl.” I the stuck out my hoof.

“Octavia.” She then shook it.

“What instrument is that?” I asked mostly already knowing the answer but I just wanted to make conversation.

“Well... It's a custom. Cross from cello and bass.” She stated with enthusiasm. But I wasn't listening, I was mostly staring at her flank again. “You like what you see.” She said sarcastically while shaking her rump.

“Oh sorry. I was just looking at your cutie-mark.” Come on buy it, buy it.

“Yeah I've heard that one before.” The grey pony said rolling her eyes. Then I heard a shout from the distance.

“Vinyl the train is here!” The cream pony said.

“Um... It was nice meeting you. Hope to see you again.” I said before turning around. I was stopped by a hoof.

“Here take this.” Octavia said while writing on a piece of paper. “You should call me some time.” Aw yeah! I got her number!

“Sure!” Then I made my way to the train.

Before walking in she said. “Hey Vinyl... Nice cutie-mark!” She winked and the doors to the train closed.

As the three of us took our seats in the train, I could already see Lyra and Bonbon staring at me.

“Sooooo...” Lyra started.

“How did it go?” Bonbon finished.

I smirked at them both. “Oh nothing special. I only got her number.” I said as I passed the paper to the pair.

They both looked at each other with stupefied looks. “No way!”

“Yeah! I can't wait to call her.” I said all of a sudden my voice sounding a little girly. It made the two giggle.

“Hey if I have to wait for my present you have to wait for yours!” Bonbon said.
