~~chapter 4~~
It has been two months since Pinkie came to our lives, regardless of what we have been telling Vinyl’s mother even when Bon Bon told her they had sex she did nothing other than yell at the DJ, it has been utterly useless, Vinyl was still going out with the devilish pink mare, Lyra has completely given up all hope to separate the two, Bon Bon not bothering to hangout with us due to her boxing, leaving me still in the lead trying, Apple jack was having sister problems with Rarity and Rarity moving to the other side of the country did not help out the situation at their house making them much too busy to even be with us; It was just me verses my best friend, Vinyl scratch.
I have been talking to Lyra when we go out on our nightly escapades, making sure not to be seen by the police, seeing as Lyra was underage and had a curfew, whether swimming in the pool at or shooting rockets and burning stuffed animals, or even just going to a local 24h pony-mart all in between the time of midnight to 5 am, we talked about the Pinkie situation.
“You know ‘Tavi, I have a feeling she still likes you.” Lyra puffed as she climbed up the roof of the ice cream parlor
“I get that feeling too, but I don’t want… LYRA!!! I have an idea!!!” squealing after I shouted making sure no police heard me while I was on the roof of the Parlor.“What if I go after Pinkie again, only this time, steal her from Vinyl, get some ‘action’ out of it and when she has no more feeling for scratch, I then drop her like a rock! It’s the perfect plan! Only problem is how will Vinyl take it?” I whispered
“Huh, that plan could work… isn’t pinkie a part of the orchestra like us? Vinyl isn’t you could invite her over to the camp we’re having and you could try to make it work, IF you have the skill or decency to do something like that. But then again it is Vinyl, my sister would be mad at you, but she’ll get over it.” Lyra said enthusiastically
“Well then! Let us go make some trouble for the very unlucky couple!” I said with an evil grin, playing one of my evil songs on my P-pod and as giddy as can be I skipped across the roof top in search of a place to climb down noticing the only way was a lamp post. “Lyra, you even play firepony before?” I said as I slid down the pole. Apparently Lyra being afraid of heights was scared of going down the roof top, facehoofing I had to sooth her from a distance so that she would come down, as soon as I broke Lyra, she slowly came down the pole. “See was that SO bad?” I said giggling “Now then we should get home so I can practice my skills on picking up emotionally unstable mares.” Brooding at the thought of me going out with Pinkie…
The next week went swimmingly; all the orchestra leaders hated Pinkie, saying that she was not good enough for our school, and that she should go back to her school. The leaders where super disrespectful of her, even though Pinkie actually knew more than my leaders, which gave me the perfect opportunity to defend her, and make her feel better, holding her when she was about to transform into Pinkamena, holding her hand, kissing her cheek, just all around hitting on her; she was eating it all up, believing in my act of affection. Up to the point where we started sexting every single night, even though she was still with Vinyl.
Two weeks have passed of s doing this, Enjoying my dark plan to the fullest, I then told Vinyl about our late night messages when Pinkamena was crying alone upstairs, making sure that I would have a chance to be alone with Pinkie
“Alright Octavia… do you like her?” she asked in monotone
“I still do Vinyl… I’m sorry… but hay, you are still my best friend, and want us to continue but I have a feeling she likes me as well.” I said sadly, trying to hide my excitement of the situation
“I want you to kiss her ‘Tavi, I need to know if she does like you, or if this is all just some misunderstanding.” The DJ said coldly
“Hold up… you want me… your best friend who is still in love with her, to kiss your fillyfriend?” I said in shock and disbelief.
“Yes, I need to know ‘Tavi…”
“Alrighty then…” I said rather awkwardly “I shall do it.” Turning around facing the stairs where Pinkamena was located at. I headed up the stairs with a grin so evil, even Discord would be scared. Just before I I went inside the room, I put on my game face, looked back nodded towards Vinyl which nodded in confirmation. Letting out a huge sigh at what I had gotten myself into. “Hey pinkie” I said compassionately as I sat next to her, holding her, feeling the warmth of her body radiating on to me, stroking her fluffy pink mane. She sat there crying. “Pinkie… what’s wrong?” purposely using a contraction in hopes she would cheer up. I held her face up making us face to face, I started stroking her face, being nervous that my plan would not work, my heart beat started rising, to the point where you could see it. Pinkie took this as another sign, and then… she kissed me, time slowed down… as we started making out, Pinkie’s tail started twitching, she parted the kiss, leaving me confused as to what was happening.
“Someponies coming up the stairs, quick! Hold my shoulder!” she whispered as she pretended to be in a state of despair while Vinyl and Lyra came up, Shocked at what just happened I whipped out my phone and texted Vinyl of what transpired just moments ago. Vinyl’s mouth Dropped, feeling betrayed, pulled me out of the room to start yelling at me. Pinkie followed us Lyra yelling abandon thread.
“Vinyl… ‘Tavi…” Pinkie said slowly “I love you both…” Vinyl and I aghast at the words we just heard, looking at each other like we had set off a nuclear bomb. To make matters worse Lyra started ‘ooooing’ and making other noises just to make things more awkward than they already were. Pinkie’s phone buzzed and said she had to be home in an hour, knowing she lived far away, the three of us jumped in the carriage and headed for Pinkie’s house, near her neighborhood she told us to stop the car, all of us getting into the trunk; She started making us hold her hand and told us to caress her, I instantly caught on to the fact she was testing on how affectionate we were being towards her,the song from my favorite band started running through my head, a song in which two best friends battled it out to see who could emerge the victor. Time running out, I went all out, no shame, regardless if she was my best friend’s fillyfriend, and Vinyl was right there, I was doing everything possible. Vinyl never being one of affection was totally bombing. Stroking her face, mane, everything possible to show that I was the better mare out of the two of us, as time reached the limit, Vinyl was the one who said let us stop, we need to take you home, leaving me and Pinkie in the back holding hoofs and snuggling.
When we galloped off, Vinyl’s expression was absolutely priceless, stricken in despair, I knew I was winning, especially when Pinkie said I was the more affectionate one, feeling confident in my newfound skills that I did not even know these powers existed, the DJ was quiet the entire trip back home, dropped me off, picked Lyra up, the cool exterior of the Blue maned white pony shattered as she whimpered something.
“’Tavi… I know you’re my best friend… but… I’m scared… I’m scared that she’s going to leave me…” I knew she was crying behind those red sunglasses of hers, I can only imagine how she was feeling… but I had to do what I had to do… I was taking one for the team, only I could do it…
The next few days were the most stressful days of everyponies life, except mine, I was beyond confident on who was going to win, every single ‘competition’ we had I would always win, kindness, loyalty, honesty, everything, I always won; even the miniscule battles. Eventually it lead to me making out with pinkie, touching her nether’s, the whole 9 yards, it was glorious, until one day Pinkamena decided to finally make a decision on who she was going to pick… saddened that she had to leave one of her loved ones behind, and make go out with the other, I was not worried in the least amount knowing the events that happened, Fluttershy, Pinkie’s Best friend even told her to choose me, I was a shoe in for sure, it also did not help Vinyl one bit that she was being really mean and lying to all of her friends, and Pinkie doesn’t like lying one bit. It also helped that if she had chosen vinyl, I would then pretend to mope around for the next few days pretending that I cared when in reality I did not care in slightest!
One day late at night, she told me… she had chosen Vinyl… I was not sure why, but I was hurt… I consulted with my therapist Twilight, and she asked me, if it was a blow to me ego or if I really did like the pink mare, I unsure of myself weather if I did truly like the graceful pink mare, loving… caring… beautiful in every which way… or it was a simple blow to my huge ego… I dismissed the thought of me actually loving her and went with my ego…
Finally I was under stress, all alone in the world of colt/filly friends, I felt all alone in the dark, I actually started to cry… shouting words from distant lands, punching the ground, throwing things… I was angrier than the incredible colt!
“REKKOUHA!!!” I shouted as I punched the ground. “BAKA-RA PINKIE-CHAN!!! ITTOU RYOUDAN GENMUREI!!! OH HOW I WISH I COULD DO THE SIN MESSENKOU ON VINYL RIGHT NOW!!! I HATE HER!!!!! BOTH OF THEM!!!”
As I gathered my thoughts, looking at my hoofs, shocked in awe, I realized… that I did love her… and I was NOT going to let Vinyl win, not now not ever! I went to sleep that night confident that I was going to get her in the end. The next few days began the stress all over again for I had stepped my game up so much I was kissing Pinkie right in front of Vinyl as she had done to me in the past. The question arose once again ‘who are you going to choose?’ I knew the answer this time… she had texted it to me right before Pinkamena started balling. She had chosen me… Vinyl unsure of what to do started ranting off
“it’s going to be ok Pinkie, it’s going to be ok…” Scratch repeated
“Vinyl… I’m sorry, but… I’m choosing her” she sobbed
“Vinyl…. I think it is best if you go now… I shall take care of her…” I said, head down, sniffling, and a tear coming down the white pony’s face… the DJ looking paler than she had ever been.
“well… good bye then…” the white mare sobbed as she wiped the tears from her sunglasses, her eyes bloodshot red, making it seem one color, glazed, trying to hold back the tears, failing miserably, I truly felt sorry for my best friend… it was her first real fillyfriend, the others she had never spent a single minute with the DJ, Vinyl had even proposed to Pinkie, thinking she was THE one, all the times they spent together… then I realized they had been going out for roughly 2 months… she needed this slap to face, she needed a good ol’ wake up call, this reality check would be perfect, so that Vinyl could learn the fact that not all things are true… just as Vinyl was entering the TIA, I called out to her.
“VINYL SCRATCH!!! WAIT!!!” I hugged her “Vinyl… I’m so sorry things turned out this way… but you knew I loved her… I-I…. I’m sorry…” I started sobbing thinking that I would lose my best friend… “Vinyl I know you must hate me right now but I’m still your best friend, and I still want to be there for you, please… don’t leave me Vinyl, are we still sis`s?” I said, wiping the tears out of my eyes; hoof extended waiting for a brohoof from Vinyl.
“We are Octavia, we are, and you were the better mare…” she said slowly, brohoofing me with a fake smile. “we are still best friends… we’ve gone through so much together, I don’t think we could ever stop being friends, thanks ‘Tavi… See ya…” the DJ said sadly.
(authors notes: well… that concludes chapter 4, if you’ve stuck around for the ride, wait ‘till the epic conclusion, where life is born, and death strikes, it’s probably the ONLY part of the tale that is interesting haha)
