CHAPTER 3
They leant into the kiss, unable to break eye contact with one another. This was right, wasn't it? Before they could find out, they were interrupted by a knocking at the door. They both pulled back quickly from the kiss that would've been, blushing intensely.
"I should go and answer that," Octavia said.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go to the toilet," Vinyl quickly said, speed walking off towards the bathroom. When she got there she quickly shut and locked the door behind herself. "What the hell just happened?" she asked herself. She and Octavia were only friends, weren't they? Vinyl wasn't like this anymore. No she hadn't thought about a mare like that since college. I mean, to be with a mare would be an easier love life. NO! She couldn't go out with a mare, it would ruin her career, I mean, who would buy music from a filly fooler? No one. That's who. She couldn't get into a relationship with Octavia.
After having a moment to think, Vinyl unlocked the bathroom door and went through to the front room. On the way there she had a look to see who it was at the door. It was the mail pony, Derpy. "...And so there I was outside Rainbow Dash's house and I heard this sort of moaning sound and I wondered what it was so I flew up to her window to have a look and..."
"That's quite enough, Derpy," Octavia said with a frustrated tone.
"...And I looked through her window and guess what I saw?" Derpy left a miniscule gap between her speech, not enough time for Octavia to object. "I saw her lying on her bed, and she was all sweaty, and flushed, and..."
"DERPY! THAT IS ENOUGH!" Octavia shouted. This didn't discourage the mail pony.
"...I saw her with Fluttershy and Fluttershy was all over her so I flew through the wall, because I can because I'm a pegasus, and I asked Fluttershy what she was doing and she jumped like she had just been caught doing something, and then I asked her what she was doing and..."
"DER..."
"....she said that Rainbow was poorly and I had to go away." Derpy finished with a huge grin on her face, pleased that she had shared this story with another pony.
"Derpy," Octavia began. "I think you should keep that a secret." She finished calmly.
"But why?" Derpy inquired.
"Because..." Octavia began, trying to think of something to satisfy the cross-eyed pony. Octavia had never been good at lying Vinyl thought, with a small chuckle. She continued from Octavia. "Because if the Wonderbolts find out she's poorly she might never, EVER, get in so you need to keep it a secret," Vinyl finished, with the greatest poker face ever seen to pony kind. This seemed to be a good enough reason for the mail pony. "Oh, okay then, your secret is safe with me," she said, smiling ear to ear as she flew off.
"Unlike our post," Vinyl whispered to Octavia, the two laughed as they went back into the front room.
"Now, where were we?" Octavia purred, drawing the curtains across the window.
"Octavia, I..." Vinyl began, but Octavia pushed her down onto the sofa.
"Ah yes, I remember." The grey pony said, leaning into the unicorn. Octavia started nuzzling Vinyl's neck. It did feel quite nice to be wanted. NO.
"Octavia, stop."
"What is it, Vinyl?" Octavia asked drawing back from Vinyl's neck, the corners of her mouth turning down.
"It's just, I'm not like that anymore."
"Like what?"
"Into mares," Vinyl said looking down, hoping not to offend her friend.
"I know, I was just trying to cheer you up," Octavia said, her voice a tiny bit wobbly.
"Well, I'm sorry but it's not helping," Vinyl spat. This earned her a slap.
"You know, I thought we might still have something. I thought we might be able to relight our relationship. I waited for you for four years, for four years I waited," Octavia whispered, her voice threatening to crack. "I thought that you would come back to Ponyville, that you would come back for me." She was now openly crying. "But you didn't, you went to Canterlot and got famous, you got a coltfriend and that broke my heart."
"Octavia.." Vinyl began, tears brimming in her eyes.
"NO!" Octavia almost shouted. "You've broken my heart once, and I won't let you do it again," she wailed.
Vinyl was now crying. "Octavia, I never even knew..."
"Get out," she hissed.
"Octavia, I never knew you liked me like that," Vinyl said, tears rolling down her face.
"GET OUT! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" She shrieked.
Vinyl did as she was told. She got up and walked to the door. She turned with an, "I'm sorry." and left. It was a good thing that Octavia lived on the edge of town; it meant that there was nopony to see the tears streaming down her cheeks, but to get home she had to walk through town. It was still pretty early and would be thriving. Not just that, but there was no other way to get home without going into to town. "Horse apples," she cursed. She'd left her glasses in Octavia's house, well, there was no chance of getting those back, she thought to herself. Perhaps it was a good thing, the reason most ponies recognised her was because of her trademark glasses, perhaps she would be able to walk through town after all.
She wiped away the tears from her face and eyes and set off towards home. Thankfully, on her way no pony seemed to recognise her, or if they did they didn't show it. She eventually got home and walked through to her bedroom. She still felt empty, but a different sort, she felt more like she had been drained. She lay on her bed, not bothering with stretching out again, and looked up at the ceiling. She was going to have a long night.
