~~chapter3~~
Asleep… or rather awake pretending to be asleep… moaning… not wanting to have ever woken up… Vinyl was going out with Pinkie… I was not… dreading to have ever gotten; up I forced myself to scarf down some food… I had like 20 texts… Twilight had been texting me all night asking if I was ok… Vinyl was also texting me… saying why I would lie about her like that… my insults about her were grueling… “Vinyl cannot do anything, she is not reliable in any sort, she would lie to you, and she would never love you, ever!” I cannot believe myself I said all of those things about Vinyl… crying in my own despair I finally mustered up the courage and texted back to Vinyl...
“I’m sorry Vinyl scratch… I wanted Pinkie so bad… I just… I don’t know what to say… and you did tell me you didn’t like her at the time… how was I supposed to know that you did… :’( “ I got a call back from her.
“YOU LITTLE MOTHER BUCKER!!” *silence* “how could you say stuff like that ‘Tavi? Why….”
“I am sorry Vinyl, I truly am… it was just… I wanted her, and you knew that… why did you do something like that to me...” I said sobbing… Vinyl lets out a big sigh; you can almost feel like the room just decompressed a little.
“I’m sorry Octavia…but I wanted her too…” Vinyl said
“Well you have her now…” I responded sniffling
“…”
“…”
“’Tavi… you’re my best friend… and I don’t want us to stop being friends… and I’m sorry for what I did, but can you understand why?”
“Yea…” I said in a solemn tone…
“You wanna hang out today? Just us two, maybe Lyra as well?”
“I’d love to Vinyl” i responded with a weak smile
“I’ll see ya later ‘Tavi… you gonna be ok…” she responded with that same assuring voice she always had when I was feeling down
“Yea… I’m going to be alright… thanks Vinyl… you are the best friend anypony could ever have, I will see you later, ‘k.” Vinyl starts laughing “what Vinyl?” I said angrily
“I caught you using two contractions this conversation” she said playfully, hoping to blow the sad part of our conversation away
“Oh shoot!” I said flustered “you know I don’t pay attention to that kinda stuff when I’m feeling like this… ah crap… KIND OF stuff when I AM feeling like this, better?”
“Very! “She said laughing. I even heard the phone drop and it somewhat vibrating across the floor, I facehoofed and said told her goodbye, feeling much better than when I woke up just a while ago, looking at the clock on my phone, I gasped realizing it was already 3pm! I’ve never slept in so late before. I quickly did my ‘morning’ routine, making sure I looked perfect for the rest of the day, as I was fixing my special bowtie from my favorite band Zero and X, I heard a knocking on the door,
“Guess Vinyl was not kidding when she said she would see me soon” sure enough Vinyl and Lyra were right outside the door waiting for me, it was kind of funny, the ONLY thing they had in common was music and that they where unicorns, they where sisters but looked absolutely alike, of course the hair color might be similar, but who knows what Vinyl’s hair color originally is every year it’s a new color… simply amazes me that they are nothing alike in looks
“Ready to go ‘Tavi?”
“As ready as I will ever be.” cello strapped to my back, my bow tie on, I was ready for anything, got everything in the carriage, and I went to help vinyl drive the darn thing, the carriage was a really big and blocky TIA Lyra sitting in the trunk like she always does, when we arrived at the marketplace where we always hang out. Vinyl dropped us off and told us she was going to see pinkie, I wanted to make sure that Vinyl would come back so I asked her that.
“Don’t worry; I’ll be back in 10 seconds flat.”
“Okie Dokey Loki” Lyra said as I shrugged “See ya!” you hear her galloping away in the large TIA. 3 hours later… after waiting for Vinyl to comeback, and constantly texting her, we weren’t getting any responses… so Lyra and I decided to call up Bon Bon but she was at boxing, which was surprising to me but at the same time it also was not, seeing as she was not allowed to have any musical instruments at her house so she decided to take up a sport instead which is understandable, but nothing that I would ever do, nopony should have to endure that kind of training. we then tried calling Fluttershy, but she did not have a ride home so she could not come, hay we even called up Rainbow, but she was busy… we called Vinyl scratch one more time to see if she would even respond…
“ YOLO!!! Hehe, Naw it’s just me Vinyl! What’s up?”
“Vinyl Scratch! Where have you been!?” I said worried something had happened
“oh uh… Octavia? Yea… I’m not coming back Sis… I…”
“You WHAT!?! You promised me you’d come back so we can hang out today, and don’t call me sis, I’m really pissed off at you right now!”
“Excuuuuse me princess that I didn’t want to Lyra to give me a bunch of bull for ditching you guys.”
“How can you say that Vinyl? You just said you ditched us, don’t you have any moral value at all?” I cried
“OCTAVIA!! YOU HAD BETTER NOT GIVE VINYL THAT KIND OF BULL AFTER WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT, IM SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVE THE MORAL DECENCY TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CLEARLY YOU DON’T HAVE ANY MORAL VALUE FOR ANYTHING!!!!” Pinkamena shouted, it felt like it was raining knives, each word she said piercing my heart and very soul… “Good bye Octavia…”
Lyra and I heartbroken that Her own sister and my very best friend leaving us for some dumb mare, after calling Rarity, AJ, even Bon Bon, we all agreed that this was unhealthy for Vinyl, Vinyl… was literally begging permission from Pinkie so that he could take Lyra, Vinyl’s own sister, back home in her own carriage!! We all liked pinkie, she was good compony but it was just unhealthy for Vinyl. We tried to come up with a plan to split them up… It was very simple, plan A was simply talking to Vinyl, plan B was telling her own mother about all of this…
We all sat down, said it was a girls night, no couples no nothing, and we set plan A into action, gathered around the White Pony, Sipping on some soda, Sunglasses on, giving her an expressionless look, I knew better, she was rocking out to one of her latest creations in her own little world oblivious to the seriousness of the situation
“Vinyl?” I started everyone looking awkward, making sure to make absolutely zero eye contact with the DJ
“Yo, what’s up ‘Tavi, everything all right?” she asked without a care in the world
“Yea… we all wanted to talk to you before we start this thing, because we ALL know Bon Bon wants to make us watch Feather club tonight… so I guess I will start?” I said sheepishly with a really bad poker face.
“Mkay, but can we make this quick? I really wanna see how ‘good’ feather club is, and AJ, Rare, your house is available for all of this?” the two opposites looked at each other awkwardly and then nodded in unison. “So what’s the scoop ‘Tavi? What do you all hafta say?”
“It is about Pinkie…” instantly the DJ took off her headphones and sunglasses, giving us all a cold stare with those blood red eyes, she wanted us to see her reactions rather than be hidden by the mask of the sunglasses. “She is VERY unhealthy for you, you know that right? I mean look at all of us, you have lied to every single one of us, and it is very hurtful it feels like you backstab us when you do something like that, I mean Vinyl all your friends here support you on your decision, and trust me Vinyl I am over her, and well… she’s tearing us apart, and I do NOT want that to happen…” I said nearly bursting to tears on the inside keeping my emotionless mask on the outside, bottling every single emotion I had inside of me… I sat there as each of them took a turn giving reasons why she’s not good for her
“Vinyl, she broke up with me when I went to Manehatten for three funerals, it was THE WORST THING EVER!!! I mean honestly, why would one doe such a thing?” Rarity proclaimed
“I’m your sister, and I don’t like her at all, she’s mean, hitting you, hurting you physically, and when your brother is saying something like that, you should probably listen to me…” Lyra pleaded, as Bon Bon and AJ said a few things, Vinyl had an expression of disbelief, concern, and a submissive look, as if she was accepting everything that we were saying, I knew better… so as we all leaved the restaurant, I placed a hoof on her shoulder
“Scratch… I have one last thing to say… you are my best friend… and I never want this friendship to end… but Vinyl… when every single one of your best and closest friends and your sister are all saying that you should break up with her… you probably should listen to them… to us… are you ok DJ-P0n3?” I said with a weak smile, knowing she always loved it when I called her that
“Yea, and thanks ‘Tavi” as she says putting on her sunglasses, regardless of the fact it is nearly 11 o’clock “thanks for looking out for me…” she said softly. With an emotionless expression I responded,
“Come on now, so Bon Bon can watch her Feather Club movie, I hear it’s a pretty good movie, and it sounds like a lot of action, but I am still not sure why they recommend watching it to the kids in psychology?” shrugging in the progress. Vinyl laughing awkwardly, in that moment I knew why she put her glasses on… she wasn’t fine… and she was lying about listening to us, she was going to high tail out of hanging out with us tomorrow to go see Pinkie Pie, with a sigh, I climbed in the TIA next to the expressionless DJ and started galloping away carrying the others all the way to Rarity’s and AJ’s house.
At the house, watching feather club, we all got very bored with the movie, I managed to get my secret of 4hoof out to everybody, and they all enjoyed it, especially the /PIP/ board of 4hoof, I swear the most immature people only wanted to go on that board for the porn… all of them right here in the same room as me… facehoofing in the process I went to the kinda new /mlh/ board, and my other secret got out, that I like My little Human: The Office, getting harassed by my taste in a little filly’s show, I made them watch an episode, they all liked the episode with Kevin Malone being who he is, and then we ended up watching a SECOND episode, thinking I converted my fellow friends into the group, I started trying to go for another episode, Lyra was the only one enthusiastic about it, Rarity said she needed some sleep,so I asked if I could have her laptop so I can play some Ponycraft, lying that mine was dead and forgot the charger, as soon as I got the goods, and rarity went to sleep, we all grouped up while AJ sat there playing Ponycraft, and we started planning what we would do to Rarity.
“Should we dye her hair green again?” Lyra said
“Or we could put a gray colored ribbon and put it on ALL of her designs” countered AJ
“I… have a better idea…” I said with an evil grin, holding up my USB “I Octavia Philaharmic, have been waiting for this day for a VERY long time; knowing Rarity’s Ponystation 3 was unprotected from one as such myself, now her laptop as well, it is time ladies to humanize this party!” I first then uploaded all 400 some odd backround wallpapers of humans as well as sounds and what not from the show itself, and then put on a human theme on her PS3 , it was glorious, making sure to put the manliest person just to put a dent into her ‘lady like’ physic. All of us laughing to what I did, we fell asleep with a small victory close to our hearts… me knowing it was temporary, it all would still come crashing down tomorrow…
When I woke up, I looked for the electric blue haired pony, just as I predicted, Vinyl had left us early in the morning, knowing she had no sleep to go see Pinkie, the DJ probably used to the lack of sleep from all the clubs she hits. All of us despaired that our attempt did not work; we sent one of us as a sacrifice a messenger to the Dj’s parents. We hoofed over her some details about what pinkie has been doing to us all and worst of all Vinyl, relief had struck all of us when the mother said she would talk to her daughter about this. Of which was a sign of good luck for us. Things finally looking up for a change…
(Authors notes: I felt like I could’ve done better at portraying the decay of friendship in this chapter, but hey that’ll fix itself soon… oh hey, can you spot the references, some are subtle others aren’t first one to name all of them will get a cameo appearance in the next chapter!! [yea I’ll find a way to incorporate you into this true story] happy hunting )
