Vinyl knocked on the door gently, the wooden rectangle opening on its own slowly. Loud music was blaring in the background as the party raged on without a certain colt who everyone had been missing. Vinyl stuck her head in and shouted
"Wolokai, come on! Everpony's wondering where you...oh." The colt in mention was passed out, hunched over his keyboard with the final chapter of his latest story ready to go, his mouse pointer over the word 'Publish' but his hoof unmoving. His heavy breathing gently moved a napkin across the table, and his wings were ruffled and hanging limp at his side.
From beside Vinyl, Octavia whispered "Poor dear...he's been having a rough time lately hasn't he?" The two mares entered the room and shut the door quickly behind them, muffling the loud music in the living room. They trotted up to him, Octavia putting a gentle hoof on his back and whispering "I'll get him to bed...make sure you save whatever is on the computer and shut it down." Vinyl nodded and watched as Octavia slung his hoof and leg over her shoulder, gently heaving him up and stirring up a low grumble out of his lungs. Vinyl smiled, shaking her head and moving into his seat, scrolling down through chapter and giving it a quick read over. She nodded after a moment, smiling in particular at a picture of her and Octavia before hitting the 'Publish' button and returning to the main screen for the story.
She looked over and whispered loudly to Octavia "Jeez, they really love his stuff!"
Octavia scoffed and rolled her eyes, whispering back "Of course they do darling...he's a good writer...I just wish he would start feeling better soon."
Vinyl nodded and whispered "It'll get better...just wait till he sees what we have planned for him! Um...when were we planning on doing this again?"
Octavia sighed and face-hoofed, grumbling "For the last time Vinyl...we said after he's finished Shyness Vs. Kindness and Twilight Vs. The Great and Powerful..." Vinyl nodded and looked down the list of chapters, raising an eyebrow as she noticed one missing.
She turned and whispered "The story's missing The Afterparty chapter!"
Octavia rolled her eyes and tucked the sleeping colt into bed, trotting over and whispering loudly "Then just...add it, write something!" Vinyl put a hoof to her chin and thought for a moment, a wide smile crossing her face.
- Dear Readers, you know...you guys and all.
Hope you all enjoyed the story, you must have since I keep reading all these cool and rad comments. Wolokai's been feeling a bit down recently, and is kind of stressed, work, college and all. But don't worry, because he's already mentioned that Leap of Faith: Shyness Vs. Kindness will be out in a few days or so! Me and Octy' have noticed every time that he walks away from the keyboard, that he has a smile on his face. You all really do a fantastic job of keeping his spirits up, and from the looks of things he's doing a pretty badass job of keeping you all entertained. Hope you all stick around and follow him and stuff, cause he's a pretty cool colt, definitely deserves the recognition and praise!
-Vinyl Scratch.
Octavia looked over at Vinyl and frowned, muttering "Really...? Ugh, give me the keyboard."
- To Wolokai's most gracious and wonderful Readers,
You are all the most wonderful of ponies, and I must say you've really brought a tremendous amount of joy to a certain colt's spirits. He really appreciates all you've done to help and make his stories an inspiration and enjoyable read for you all! Don't tell him, but we've got a surprise for the dear in a few stories, so don't go anywhere! As Vinyl mentioned, the 'MacxShy' story is going to be appearing in a few days, so don't miss out! He did mention this one might be a bit shorter then the others, but that's no reason to say the quality will be different! Do stay with us, as this darling colt continues to take our breath away with heartening words and beautiful emotions.
-Octavia.
"Really? For Celestia's sake Octy', what a way to sound cheezy!"
"Oh do stop being such a brute Vinyl, I was at least using proper grammar and not, ugh, 'slang'"
"This isn't Canterlot Octavia, relax. You don't have to impress everypony with your super fancy words and stuff"
"Sometimes I just don't know what to do with you!"
"I could give you an idea..."
"Ugh, how vile! Can't you keep your thoughts clean for two seconds?"
"I have to get dirty before I get clean Tavi' baby..."
From the far side of the room, the colt opened his eyes and stared at the two mares arguing, their raised whispers stirring him awake. He watched with bloodshot eyes and a frown...before starting to smile. He closed his eyes and let out a quiet sigh, shaking his head and letting sleep envelop him once more.
"Those two..." he thought... "Sometimes...love is weird like that."
