“Vinyl, what are you wearing?”
“What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious?”
“No, it’s not.”
“It’s my Termineightor cosplay!”
Octavia blinked.
“Your what?”
“Termineightor. You know, the movie with the unstoppable killing machine?”
“Vinyl, you know I don’t like those movies.”
“Yeah but you’ve seen it! Remember, we went and saw it when it came out, a couple years ago?”
“Hmm. Nope, I must’ve wiped it from my memory.”
“Hey Tavi.”
“What, Vinyl.”
“I’ll buy you those chocolates and wine you like if you come to RoboCon with me.”
“A tempting offer, but I must decline.”
“Taviiiiiiii,”
“No, Vinyl.”
“But I came to your last couple concerts!”
“That’s what marefriends are supposed to do, Vinyl.”
“Yeah, and now I’m cashing in! As my marefriend, you’re coming to the Con with me!”
“I can’t believe you roped me into this.”
“C’mon, Tavi, it’ll be fun!”
“I look ridiculous.”
“What are you talking about, your Sadl-E costume is amazing!”
“I look like a dishwasher.”
“You can wash my dishes any day.” Hoof connected with head. “Ow! Tavi, what was that for?!”
The gray mare smiled and shook her head. “There’s a time and a place, Vinyl. A time and a place.”
